New Year to start with further fire strikes
10:37am Monday 30th December 2013 in News
Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service is again reminding people to 'take extra care' when firefighters go out on strike on New Year's Eve.
As part of a national dispute between the Fire Brigades' Union and the Government over pension reforms, firefighters will be walking out for six hours from 6.30pm on December 31.
A further strike has been called for two hours from 6.30am on the morning of January 3.
During this time, the Fire and Rescue Service will be providing a reduced emergency response, although cover is being maintained across the county.
Chief Fire Officer Simon Routh-Jones said: "New Year's Eve is a time when people want to celebrate, so we would urge everyone to have a good time but to also take extra care when they're out and about.
"Because of the strike, we will have reduced resources available but we are ensuring that we maintain cover to the best of our ability. People should still call 999 if they have an emergency – we will attend, but it may take us a little longer than usual to arrive."
The following top tips will help you stay safe:
• Make sure you have smoke alarms fitted and test them regularly
• If you're out for the night, take five minutes to unplug unused electrical items and any fairy lights, and make sure no sockets are overloaded. Also close all internal doors – if there is a fire, this will help to contain the damage
• Make these checks before you go to bed if you stay in for the night – and make sure you and anyone else in the property knows how to get out should something happen
• Don't leave cooking unattended, especially if you've been drinking or are on medication. If you've been drinking, it's far safer to eat out or get a takeaway than to cook while under the influence of alcohol
• If you smoke, dispose of cigarettes carefully, and don't smoke in bed. Ideally, smoke outside as this reduces the risk of fire. Make sure matches and lighters are kept away from children
• Be careful if you decide to light candles or tea lights – left unattended, these can easily lead to fires starting. Be particularly careful not to place candles near to Christmas decorations, cards or wrapping paper
• Businesses should check their fire risk assessments and ensure that any staff members working on the evening of New Year's Eve are fully briefed on what to do if an emergency happens
• If you're out on the roads, drive to the speed limit and to the conditions – and don't drink and drive
• Should you have a fire, get out, stay out and call 999 – the Fire & Rescue Service will respond.

Recipe by bellepepper
"I have tried a lot of good roasted potato recipes, but I keep coming back to this one. I've never found one I like better! These are crispy on the outside, and soft and creamy on the inside."
Watch video tips and tricks
cooking spray
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pounds red potatoes, halved
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
I am the submitter of this recipe and I'm delighted that you are enjoying it. I wanted to point out that AR changed my recipe when they published it. You will definitely need more than one teaspoon of oil to coat your pan otherwise your potatoes will likely stick. First spray your pan with non-stick cooking spray and then pour in enough oil to coat the pan. When I make these I make half of this recipe in a 10" cast iron skillet. Even though I don't measure, I'd say I use about one tablespoon of oil to coat my pan. I hope this helps.
I tried these and they were not so good. The cheese burnt before the potatoes were done. If you notice, in the pictures, the potatoes are sliced not just cut in half. Maybe I will try doing them that way.

Very good. A trick I learned from a friend years ago, if you parboil your potatoes for just a few minutes you will yield a crispier roasted potato.
I was looking for a new recipe for roasted red potatoes and I couldn't be more pleased with this one. I used about a tablespoon of oil to coat the baking pan. I chopped the potatoes (husband's personal preference) and simply mixed with the cheese and spices, and spread onto baking pan. Per the instructions, I roasted for 20 minutes, stirred them and continued roasting for additional 20 minutes. They were absolutely delicious and we all (4) enjoyed them! This was an easy, enjoyable recipe that I will be making again!
Loved it Bellepepper. All my daughter's favorites and she is a potato girl. I saw on another recipe (and it works) that if you blast the potatoes at 450 degrees for 20 mintues and then turn down stove to 350 degrees for the next 15 -20 minutes, you get a nice crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, roasted potato. I also spray my pans/oil my pans, dump the pototoes and whatever seasonings in the pan and toss the potatoes around it in it. Potatoes never stick,you never lose any of the seasonings and one less bowl to wash.
Very good. Recipe calls for 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, but needed significantly more for 2 pounds of potatoes. NOTE: Ensure you coat the bottom of your pan with enough oil to prevent the potatoes from sticking or you will lose the crusty goodness of this dish! Enjoy!
Everybody loved these delicious potatoes and they are a quick easy recipe. They did turn out just as the recipe stated crispy on the outside, yet creamy on the inside. I used red potatoes and doubled the batch since we had guest for dinner. Perfect side for grilled burgers. Thanks Bellepepper.
Yummy potatoes bellepepper! I had regular white potatoes to use up and they worked fine! Thanks for another keeper!

It was a busy holiday season for Steven Spielberg.
First, he had "The Adventures of Tintin," a fast-moving, kid-friendly adventure in motion-capture 3-D (Bonus review! I give it a B+). That was followed soon after by "War Horse," a considerably different film.
"War Horse" is a sentimental epic set during World War I and revolving around a beautiful and brave equine.
As expected, it's lavishly filmed, though the period-perfect scenery never hides the fact that Spielberg is going to try to manipulate your emotions and pull your strings at every turn.
The 1982 children's novel (which was also adapted into an award-winning play), on which the story is based was told from the horse's point of view, but "War Horse" is forced to tell its tale using the humans who surround the hero.
The horse in question is a spirited young thoroughbred named Joey, who is purchased by a penniless farmer (Peter Mullan) and adored by the man's teen son Albert.
Joey is needed to save the family farm from a sneering landlord (David Thewlis), but when war hits, all good horses are needed in his majesty's service, and Joey begins a heroic trek that takes him from country to country and bounces him between a half-dozen different handlers.
"War Horse" leans on its story more than it does its actors. Though there are solid performances (Emily Watson is excellent as Albert's long-suffering mother), the only real standout performer is failed racehorse Finders Key — also the star of "Seabiscuit" — who plays Joey with convincing spirit and fire.
Jeremy Irvine, who plays Albert, the boy who follows his horse to war, has been pegged as a future star by many, but here his character is a little too earnest and maybe too devoted to his horse. To be honest, there was more than one instance when I thought he was channeling Sean Astin's Sam from "The Lord of the Rings," with Joey the Horse filling in for his dear Mr. Frodo.
"War Horse" features some spectacular action sequences — a glorious cavalry charge early in the war, a gripping look at trench warfare later — though Spielberg steers clear of the graphic images that he used in the World War II drama "Saving Private Ryan," making the film appropriate for most families.
The film overall, however, doesn't pack the emotional heft that it envisioned, perhaps because amidst the human suffering of WWI, it concentrates on the suffering of the animals.
"War Horse" won't ever end up on Spielberg's "A" list of films, but it's not a failure either.
Rental Recommendation: Spielberg introduced the world to young Christian Bale in the World War II story "Empire of the Sun." Grade: B

The dark lines in the sky really stand out, too much. Apart from that it looks great, you can really feel the action in the bullet casings and smoke, and the color scheme builds up the atmosphere. Nice angel to draw from too. Keep it going!

Yayy, critiques. Thanks! :D

The first query works as a cross join because you are not telling the system what type of join you want to use. The second one is written properly.

Shot on Location at
The Park Tavern
4 feet sheep or small hog casings (ask your butcher)
1-pound pork loin
1-pound beef sirloin
1/4-pound pork fat (or a chunk of bacon)
1/4 cup minced onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 egg white
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
3/4-teaspoon white pepper
3/4-teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup finely crushed ice
1. Trim meat of sinew. Cut meat and pork fat into 1/2" cubes.
2. Rinse the casing well with cold water (easiest done by holding the casing tightly to the faucet and forcing the water through like a hose). Transfer to a large bowl, cover with cold water and large splash of white vinegar and soak until use.
3. Combine the onion, garlic, egg white and seasonings in the work bowl of a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Toss the meat with the seasoning puree and mix together well. Cover and place in freezer for 20-30 minutes until very cold, but not quite fully frozen.
Use either a meat grinder or food processor to first grind the fat or bacon cubes. Next process or grind in the ice-cold seasoned meat and the crushed ice. To check seasonings, heat a small sauté pan and fry up a small patty of the sausage mixture. Adjust seasonings, as needed, and then transfer the mixture to a large pastry bag fitted with an extra large, plain tip.
4. Tie a knot in one end of the rinsed casings. Slide the unknotted end of the sausage casing over the tip of the pastry bag then slowly and carefully squeeze the mixture into the casing.
Tie the open end closed with a piece of butchers twine. Begin creating links by twisting every 6-7 inches and tying into links with small pieces of kitchen twine.
5. Grill over very low heat until cooked through. (Alternatively place links in a large saucepan of cold water and bring to a boil. Immediately remove from heat, cover and let sit 20 minutes. Refrigerate until use and then grill to heat through prior to serving.

Kohles, Marino Both Eager for 2013

Kohles, Marino Eager for 2013 PGA Season
At one point before teeing off on Friday at Birdwood Golf Course, a photographer asked Ben Kohles to pose for a picture while holding his PGA Tour card.
Kohles, who just qualified for the PGA Tour this past summer on the Buy.com Tour, was happy to pull the card out of his wallet and flash a wide smile.
"I'm really looking forward to it, getting out there and playing with the best players in the world," Kohles said of joining the PGA Tour. "That's what we all try to do, go out there and compete. So I'm really looking forward to it."
Kohles was among more than 60 golfers to participate in the second annual Virginia Golf Alumni Tournament on Friday. The list of players also included PGA Tour veteran Steve Marino.
Marino is working his way back from a left knee injury that cost him most of the this past season. After making just six starts on the 2012 tour, Marino says he's "very, very" anxious to get back on the course.
"The knee is great, actually," Marino said. "I just went a saw my doctors last week, and they gave me the "all clear" to go ahead and start playing and practicing a lot again. So I feel really good, and I'm excited about next year."
Marino's last tour appearance was the 2012 Travelers Championship in late June, where he missed the cut.
"I've been very bored at home," he joked. "So it's been tough. But I'm ready to come back and play."
Kohles made golf history this past summer, becoming the first golfer ever to win his first two Buy.com Tour appearances. He also made his PGA Tour debut in August, getting a sponsor's exemption for the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C.
Kohles finished the season eighth on the Buy.com Tour money list, earning him his PGA Tour card.
"It's been pretty crazy," Kohles said of the past few months. "It's been quite a ride; really fun. I get to wake up and play golf everyday for a living so it's not too bad. So I'm just enjoying it."

STRP Asks for Critical Habitat Status for the Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtles in the Gulf
In a March 8, 2011, letter to National Marine Fisheries Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, SRTP and its members are asking for support of critical habitat designation under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for the Kemps ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) in the U.S. portion of its range. This sea turtle would greatly benefit from protection of both its marine and terrestrial habitats. Click here to download a copy of the letter.Our organization has been working to protect this sea turtle species for since 1982 when Help Endangered Animals-Ridley Turtles was organized. Our members and staff actively participate in Kemps protection efforts, both in terms of policy and on-the-ground actions. We supported nest patrols at Rancho Nuevo Mexico and on the Texas coast as well while conducting educational programs to build public awareness. Our public information line for reporting nesting sea turtles has been used by hundreds of people on the Texas coast who called 1-866-TURTLE-5 to report the sighting of a Kemps ridley or hatchlings.We have reviewed the petition submitted on February 17, 2010 by WildEarth Guardians, and we fully support this petition. We are aware that neither the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or the National Marine Fisheries Service has issued a decision on this petition. Indeed, WildEarth Guardians subsequently sued your agencies on August 30, 2010 due to your failure to respond.More than a year has passed since this formal request for critical habitat. That was a dramatic year for the Kemps ridley sea turtle. As you know, almost 500 perished due to the devastation caused by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and scientists warned that this disaster might setback this species recovery for a long time. The body count does not tell the whole story: many other Kemps ridleys likely perished but were never found. Moreover, contamination of the Kemps ridleys marine and coastal habitat will likely be long-lasting, and we are concerned about future population trends resulting from this event.Had a critical habitat designation been in place, British Petroleum and the other corporations responsible for the Deepwater Horizon disaster would have faced more stringent regulation of their drilling activities under the ESA. But its not too late. Critical habitat for the Kemps ridley could address future off-shore drilling proposals, as well as ongoing drilling operations.A prompt critical habitat proposal is vital to get the process started and map out a new course for Kemps ridley sea turtle recovery. Recovery and critical habitat are fundamentally intertwined, as critical habitat should extend to unoccupied, suitable areas within the species range, to which it can be restored (or restore itself). Most importantly however, is the ESAs provision that, once designation, critical habitat cannot be adversely modified. This provides a much more stringent protection that simple prevention of jeopardy to the full species. We requested critical habitat for the Kemps ridleys on the Texas coast when the first comments for the new Recovery Plan were requested and are asking again with increased consideration needed following the oil spill.The Kemps ridley deserves, and must receive, the enhanced ESA protections that critical habitat would provide. We therefore urge a prompt proposal of critical habitat for this species, in its suitable marine and terrestrial habitats.

As the saying goes, out with the old, in with the new. With Sean Malto and (soon) Alex Olson added to the Nke SB roster, Danny Supa has been released. Along with Todd Jordan, Reese Forbes, Richard Mulder and Gino Ianucci, Danny Supa was one of the first skaters on the current Nike skateboarding program. Sadly, after ten years, he's been released, leaving Gino as the last OG team member. In an Instagram post Danny also took a jab in the direction of Koston, claiming everyone at the company is "busy suckin @erickoston off." The image that went along with the message simply reads 'Fuck Nike Skateboarding'. Although he apparently received severance pay, Supa clearly is unhappy with how the Swoosh has treated him in this situation. To be continued?

Infertility can be devastating for any couple trying to have a baby. Roughly 10 percent of couples in the U.S. are affected by it, and a growing body of evidence suggests that all manner of chemicals in our environment are interfering with both men's and women's ability to have kids. So far, most of the chemicals known as hormone disruptors, which act like sex hormones and can interfere with bodily levels of estrogen and testosterone, have been implicated. These chemicals are used to make nonstick pans, pesticides, and other common household goods. The latest culprit? Phthalates, chemicals used in plastics, synthetic fragrances, and building materials.
For a new study published in the journal Toxicology Letters, Italian researchers zeroed in on the most commonly used phthalate, DEHP, used in plastics to keep them soft and flexible, as well as the second most common, DEP, used to keep fragrances from dissipating from personal care products, scented candles, laundry detergents, and the like. Two other phthalates, DBP (which keeps nail polishes and paints pliable) and BBzP (a phthalate used in vinyl floor tiles), were also tested.
9 Everyday Chemicals That Could Be Screwing with Your Fertility
The authors measured urine samples from 56 couples who were seeking fertility treatments and an equal number of couples who had successfully had children. Both the men and the women in the couples seeking fertility treatments had higher levels of phthalates in their urine than the couples with children did.
A number of previous studies have linked phthalates to infertility in men and women separately, but this is the first study of its kind showing that that the combined levels in both men and women could be to blame. In women, phthalates can trigger endometriosis, a condition common in women who can't get pregnant. In men, phthalates lower testosterone levels, which impairs sperm quality.
Phthalates are ubiquitous in the environment, and can be difficult to avoid, but here are the most common sources. Avoid as many as you can, and you'll improve your chances of bringing a baby into your family:
- Vinyl products, including shower curtains and faux leatherCertain plastic food containers and cling wrapsCoatings on medications and supplements
- Scented products like cologne, perfume, candles, air fresheners, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, and fabric softeners
- Shampoo, soap, hairspray, body spray, lotion, deodorant, and other personal care items that have a fragrance
- Nail polish
- Paints and other furniture finishesNonorganic foods grown with sewage sludge and pesticides

Dr. Henry F. Schaefer:
Dr. Henry Schaefer is Professor of Chemistry at the Univeristy of Georia and a prolific scholar with over 750 scientific publications to his credit. In this lecture, presented at the University of California at Santa Barbara, Schaefer confronts the assertion that one cannot believe in God and be a credible scientist. He starts by showing that the theistic worldview of Bacon, Kepler, Pascal, Boyle, Newton, Faraday and Maxwell was instrumental in the rise of modern science. He goes on to name many modern scientists and Nobel prize winners, including Charles Coulson, John Suppe, Charles Townes, Arther Schawlow, Alan Sandage, Donald Page, R. David Cole and Francis Collins, whose religious faith is an integral part of who they are as scientists. The video concludes with an exclusive interview with Dr. Schaefer where he discusses why a Christian worldview is more compatible with the findings of modern cosmology than a purely naturalistic and materialistic worldview. Suitable for all ages.

U.S., Australia to add cyber realm to defense pact
Cyberattacks are about to carry even more weight, with the United States and Australia expected to include them in a mutual defense treaty.
The two nations will declare the cyber realm to be part of the 60-year-old treaty tomorrow, Reuters reports. The inclusion will mean that a cyberattack on one country could lead to a response by both.
"We will be releasing a joint statement saying that the ANZUS treaty applies to cyberspace," Reuters quoted a senior U.S. defense official as saying of the rare move.

Devil's Fork State Park
[ 7/10 ]
This is a good park if you have a boat. Lake Jocassee is one of the most beautiful lakes in the Southeast. For mere camping, except for fishing, the park offers very little and is somewhat remote. This is a family favorite in Fall, and should not be missed if you are in the area. The early springtime can be somewhat bleak. Note that currently the lake is down about 35 feet as of September 2008.

Twin Lakes COE
[ 10/10 ]
If you are looking for a quiet park with basic water and power hookups, Twin Lakes is a good pick. Many sites are available that have virtually complete privacy. For those that want the more communal aspect, there are also sites that offer close by neighbors. Beware that as of October 2008, the lake is in dire straights, and running out of water. It is down about 15 feet at the moment. Luckily, the park is on the main river channel, so you will still have water access. Other than that, Twin Lakes is a nice park.

River Vista Mountain Village
[ 9/10 ]
Nice park setup in a valley; this is just such a beautiful area. The park was very clean and we were able to get a site that backed up to a "creek" for about $5 extra per night. The creek had no water to speak of, but being backed up to the green belt was still nice. If not against the green belt, there are a few trees in the infield, but not many.

St. John's Seeks to Cash Out of Murray Street Space
Last month, the Related Companies' Stephen Ross was reportedly eyeing the Borough of Manhattan Community College's campus in Tribeca, in a land swap that would give the college space in Moynihan Station. That idea wasn't too well received, but it looks like another college—St. John's University—is putting a building nearby on the auction block.
This afternoon St. John's announced that it is looking to sell its building at 101 Murray Street. The university bought the property in 2001, after St. John's merged with the College of Insurance, now called the School of Risk Management, which remains a tenant in the building.
"The University has been continually assessing the value of this asset in terms of space usage and market value," according to the press release. "With Manhattan's real estate market now at an all-time historic high, we have determined that it is in the best interest of the University of seek a buyer for the property at this time." Read More

Apple TV connection using optical port
Recently purchased a Apple TV and hooked it up using the HDMI port and it
works fine using it on a Yamaha A/V receiver that is in my bedroom. My main sound system in the living room is a Marantz SR4001 which only has two HDMI ports that are being used by the Blu-Ray player and cable box. Both units have optical inputs, so I tried using the Apple TV using the optical cable on both the Marantz & the Yamaha and I am not getting any signal. Anyone have any clues as to why? Thanks |

Make sure your using the correct optical signal on the receiver. I have to use the same video signal on my receiver but change the optical signal from 1 to 3 when using my Apple TV.

Re: Optical connection
Thanks for your input. Will try out your suggestions and let you know how it works.

Your answer is to spend ten dollars for an HDMI splitter that is powered and then connect the BluRay and the APPLETV to the same HDMI input...I have done this with sucess and send a long HDMI cable to the tv in the bedroom sharing one HDMI input.
Toslink cables are not reliable and often fail. |

Jan 29, 2013, 04:57 PM | #6 |
Re: Splitter
I will look into the splitter idea. The Toslink cable is still not working. The go to
Options suggestion is not working because I cannot find any options in the setup either on the Apple TV or the A/V receiver |

NEW YORK (AP) — Mixed signals from the world's largest economies kept the price of crude flat Thursday.
U.S. benchmark oil fell 12 cents to $92 a barrel in afternoon trading Thursday. It had been down more than $1 in the morning. Brent crude, which many U.S. refiners use to make gasoline, fell 67 cents to $112.55 in London.
An increase in new home construction reported Wednesday suggested the U.S. economy was improving and would need more gasoline, diesel and jet fuel in coming months.
At the same time, U.S. oil supplies have climbed higher than expected and are above their 5-year average for this time of year.
China's economic news also offered complicated outlook for oil demand. The slide in the country's growth rate appeared to be slowing, according to data reported Thursday. That could mean Chinese oil demand will pick up. But the data also lowered expectations that China's government will introduce new measures to stimulate the economy. That could keep a lid on demand.
Either way, players in the oil market didn't have much to latch onto.
"There was no surprise, so there's not much impact," said oil analyst Jim Ritterbusch.
Retail gasoline prices continued a recent slide, though they remained at record high for this time of year. The national average retail price was $3.74 per gallon Thursday.
In other energy trading in New York:
— Heating oil fell a penny to $3.17 per gallon.
— Wholesale gasoline fell 5 cents to $2.73 per gallon.
— Natural gas rose 5 cents to $3.52 per thousand cubic feet.

• On Friday, June 10, Cathy Raycraft's second-grade class celebrated with their annual Hawaiian Luau. Each student made paper leis and a Polynesian-style place mat. Mrs. Raycraft played her "Hu ke Lau" music and taught them all how to hula. She also brought in her "poi balls" which are commonly used in traditional performing arts. The covered balls are held in the hand and swung in circular patterns.
This fun and educational day was completed with a potluck which included fresh and canned pineapple, fresh and shredded coconut, assorted tropical fresh fruit, Hawaiian bread, homemade sweet and sour meatballs, steamed rice, Hawaiian punch and fresh coconut macaroons. Special thanks to Elizabeth Trent, Darcy Ulin and Brenda McDonald for their extra-special contributions to this event.
— Tricia Stratton, secretary
• The school library was standing room only on Monday, June 13, for the volunteer reception. The volunteers, teachers and staff enjoyed cake, cookies and tea sandwiches, accompanied by a citrus cooler punch. Principal Donna Hudson greeted the volunteers and thanked them for their countless hours of help during the school year. For the first time, the school had a volunteer in the science room twice a week. The second-grade classes were fortunate to have a volunteer who spent one whole day per week reading with students. Thank you, volunteers, for a wonderful year! We hope to see you again in the fall!
— Candy Olmer, paraeducator
• The kindergarten classes would like to thank Olympic Game Farm for the amazing field trip on June 16! The guides were incredible and very knowledgeable about the animals. How thoughtful it was of the staff to provide goodie bags for each student at the end of the field trip! From the bottom of our hearts, a big Greywolf howl to everyone at Olympic Game Farm for memories that will last a lifetime.
Thanks to our wonderful school bus driver, George Stuber, for being a fantastic tour guide. Thanks also to our wonderful volunteers for their time and watchful eyes. Our field trip would not have been the same without you!
— Olivia Shea, Kelli Mishko, Bethanie Robbins and Patty Sullivan, teachers
• Avoid the rush and register now for fall kindergarten. The office is open from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. (closed for lunch noon-1 p.m.), until June 30, then closes for the summer until Aug. 23.

• Fifth-grade students left their permanent mark on Haller by each painting a tile on the outside walls. The outside walls of Haller are peppered with painted tiles of fifth-grade students from over the years. Haller's Parent-Teacher Organization provided the acrylic paints, and after the students are done painting, their tiles will be coated with a sealer to protect them. This has been a tradition for many years and older students always enjoy seeing the tiles when visiting their former school.
— Robi Andison, teacher
• Helen Haller Elementary had another successful After-School Running Club this spring. About 150 students from grades 1-5 met for 10 weeks prior to the North Olympic Discovery Kids Marathon, with even more younger and older kids joining parents and siblings on the track every Monday and Wednesday. Supervisors for the Running Club were first-grade teacher Ione Marcy and P.E. teacher Meghan Thompson.
Despite the frequent rain and cooler temperatures, students met faithfully to run, working hard to earn tokens for every 5 miles they ran. In Ione Marcy's class alone, students accumulated 900 miles' worth of running! About 50 Haller students participated in the 1.2 Mile Marathon Finale on Saturday, June 4.
A quote from Joyce Carol Oates states our feelings on this wonderfully fulfilling and energizing sport: "Running! If there's any activity happier, more exhilarating, more nourishing to the imagination, I can't think what it might be. In running the mind flees with the body, the mysterious efflorescence of language seems to pulse in the brain, in rhythm with our feet and the swinging of our arms."
— Ione Marcy, teacher
Crazy Shoe Day, a natural follow-up to Crazy Hair Day, was the perfect way for students and staff to show their school spirit! As the end of the school year draws to a close, there are some crazy shoes running around the middle school! That was the theme for the last spirit day of the year and lots of students and staff joined in the fun.
Ten thousand spirit points were awarded for the grade with the most participation, and once again, the seventh grade reigned supreme! The overall enthusiasm of the seventh-grade class throughout the year earned them an ice cream party for the last day of school.
The coveted Spirit Stick, made many years ago by the incredible local totem pole carver, Dale Faulstich, has been passed on to them for safe-keeping.

Rakers Car Club of Port Town-send is showing support by giving back to a common cause. During the
Sequim Irrigation Festival Car Show at Walmart, the Rakers Car Club donated $500 to Sequim High School Engineering Technology Club. The money will be put toward assembling the Engineering Tech Club's' 1934 Ford Coupe.
Rakers Car Club treasurer Jerry Johnson contacted Bill Seabolt, club advisor, and said they chose the high school club to receive these funds because of shared interest in mechanics and fabricating hot rods. This donation came in time to help purchase a rolling chassis for the club's second-annual E-Tech Classic Car Show, held at the high school stadium parking lot June 4.
The high school club's car show is growing; last year's show included 74 cars and this year's E-Tech Classic sported well over 100 of the best cars on the peninsula.
The car show has enjoyed lots of local support from businesses and car clubs, which has helped make it a great success.

Grammy winner Rick Springfield has secured his highest chart debut position in more than 20 years with his latest album, Venus in Overdrive. Coming in at No. 28 on the Billboard chart, Springfield's first CD of all new material in almost 5 years is also his debut album on New Door Records/UMe. Within the first few days, the album had tremendous momentum and did well at all retailers, including iTunes and Amazon.com where it was among their Top 10 sellers.
The singer was highly visible last week with a string of national television appearances including: "Good Morning America," "Live with Regis and Kelly," "The Early Show," "FOX and Friends," "On the Record With Greta Van Susteren," "Entertainment Tonight" and the week before street date re-airing of "Oprah." Springfield also returned to "General Hospital" in the recurring role as Dr. Noah Drake, as well as the rock star Eli Love who performed the current single, "What's Victoria's Secret?"
Comments Springfield, "We worked really hard on these new songs and I haven't been this excited about a new record since the 80's. Yep, still call it a 'record'." Billboard magazine says Venus in Overdrive "demonstrates the strengths that keep Springfield in the game," saying the album has "broad stylistic range and pure emotional energy."

How much faster will a rMBP be over my MBA?
Bought a 13" MBA as my first Apple product. Got it to do video edits of GoPro as the PC was a PITA to use. So far I am just using I-Movie and it works for now. The wife is going to need a new laptop. We both like the size and function of the 13" MBA. Only down side it the time it takes to process movies from the Drop box to I-Movie. My question is how much of an improvement will I see if I I get the 15" rMBP over the MBA? Going to buy either a rMBP or another MBA in the next month.
Not sure if I should move up to Final Cut to use for editing or is there a better Mac program that I should look at? Thank you for any information. This is my first post, have been reading the forum for a few months. Bill in Stockton |

For some objective data on difference, go to geek bench to check out the difference in benchmarks. Geekbench is CPU heavy. Top end 15" rMBP: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekb...2700%20bits:64 Top end 13" MBA: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekb...2000%20bits:64 You are looking at ~75% boost in performance (CPU) from going from the top end 13" MBA to a top end 15" rMBP. Don't forget 15" rMBP comes with dedicated GPU vs. MBA with the integrated Intel HD 4000. |

Note: When working with your footage from DropBox it will be the slowest processing in iMovie. If you use your external for processing the footage into iMovie it will be much faster as it is 5Gbps (though you will see roughly 50-100MB/s). If your footage is on your SSD it will be the fastest as it can read around 250MB/s.

Sage advice all. Dropbox is fine for a lot of things but has no place in your video processing work flow. That is your speed problem.
I looked at the 15" RMBP last spring and decided that the price of a maxed out one, around $4000, did not fit my budget especially as I do much of my work on the Apple 27" monitor anyway. For half that price I bought a maxed 13" MBA and love it. My two cents worth, literally.

I've thought that Dropbox "saves then distributes;" keeping local copies until there's an update to a file; then uploading that update to the user's cloud-based folder; and then downloading it to all the local Dropbox folders. So files can be used offline and later sync when there's an internet connection. And, so, saving to the DropBox folder is like saving to any other local folder except this folder selectively sucks files into the cloud in an action separate from the saving. What am I missing? Thanks in advance. |

New to the apple stuff. My Gopro records in mp4 and it looks like the conversion to mov file to edit in Imovie is what is taking the time. Will Imovie edit an mp4 or do I have to do the conversion? Will FCPX edit mp4? I need to get to an Apple class on Imovie, just not any close to where I live.
Thanks for all the help. |

Phase 4: Researching Salaries & Compensation
Think twice before you say money is not important. Your salary and total compensation package, over time, ARE important. Weigh carefully the kind of lifestyle and activities that you hope to afford, both short- and long-term, as well as your projected debt payments (if applicable).

You might say that Josie Hiatt is outstanding in her field.
Right field, mainly.
Hiatt, of Hotchkiss, is among a handful of female players in the state competing in summer youth baseball programs. The 13-year-old is a starting player for the Hotchkiss Bulldogs 13-15 team headed for this week's state tournament in Burlington. Under head coach Brian Matus, the Bulldogs posted a 16-1-1 regular season and claimed the Tri-County 13-15 division title to advance to state.
"I've always been the only girl on the (baseball) team," said Hiatt, the team's starting right fielder. Over the years she's only seen a handful of other girls on the field, and recalled seeing only one or two this season.
"She really stands out. She plays very good baseball," said Matus, who has coached Hotchkiss youth league teams for the last few years and watched Hiatt play since 2010. "She holds her own."
This season she is one of the top five batters on the team, said Matus.
Last summer, Matus coached his team to second place at state. Only one of this year's players, Alex Aguilera, played for Matus last season. This is his first year to coach the remaining 13 players, including Hiatt. "The kids change every year," said Matus, "which means you don't get a chance to be with them for too many years."
All but two of his 14 players are from Hotchkiss. Dominick Beck and Corbin Beck are from Paonia. The Bulldogs are among at least three local teams competing in state tournaments this month.
Despite being young (the youngest player is 12), the team has both experience and the desire to win, said Matus. "This team plays well together, they all work real hard. Hotchkiss and the valley put out some good ball players," said Matus.
Hiatt, the daughter of Ty and Dana Hiatt, is also a triplet, and plays on the same team as her brother, Chase. Their sister, Shelby, doesn't play baseball, said Josie, but she comes out to support her siblings. "We're all into baseball," said Hiatt. "It's a family thing."
Like most baseball players, Hiatt got her start playing T-ball at age 6. She said she played softball in 2009, but wanted something more competitive. She joined her first summer league baseball team in 2010 and has made the Hotchkiss all-star team every year since then, playing both infield and outfield positions, including pitcher and second base. "I like playing outfield," said Hiatt, who was filling in at short stop and second base during last week's practice.
This won't be Hiatt's first state tournament. In 2011 she was on the 60-foot majors all-star team that claimed the 11-12 state title, qualifying them for a trip to the regional tournament in Baxter, Minn. Bulldog teammates Colton Deluzio, Raul Mendoza, Eli Kirk, Adain Wilmot and Mario Espinoza, along with Chase Hiatt, were also members of the 2011 state champion team. Unfortunately, Josie Hiatt had to miss the tournament due to other commitments.
Hiatt wants to play high school baseball, but knows that high school competition is much tougher than the summer leagues she's used to playing in. But she's determined to stick with the sport. Hiatt will enter eighth grade this fall, and hopes to be able to play another two or three seasons before switching to softball. She will likely have to commute to Delta, since neither of the North Fork high schools currently fields a softball team. Hiatt also plays volleyball and competes in track as a sprinter, relay team member and jumper. She's looking forward to competing in both sports in high school.
The Bulldogs had the opportunity to compete in two tournaments this week, including the Jason Lopez Memorial in Montrose and the Tri-County tournament at Field of Dreams in Orchard City. That tournament closes today. Instead, they opted to spend the time focusing on practicing and fundraising for their state trip.
The winners of this week's state tournament, which runs July 19-22, will advance to the Midwest Plains regional tournament in Boonville, Mo., in early August. Hiatt said she likes this team's chances of doing well at the state level. "We only lost one this summer, so I think we're pretty good," said Hiatt.blog comments powered by Disqus

The BCS Championship throws a French Quarter parade for fans of LSU and Ohio State Saturday, January 5, 2008.
The BCS Championship throws a French Quarter parade for fans of LSU and Ohio State Saturday, January 5, 2008.
I'm sorry, but it turns my STOMACH to see AllState as the sponsors of this little event. The tourists have NO IDEA how ironic and inappropriate it is. I'm glad AllState can AFFORD to sponsor the BCS Championship Parade. They should throw a parade EVERY DAY with their record profits Post Katrina. One more sad injustice thrown in the face of New Orleanians.
(from CNNmoney.com):
For the year, Merrill Lynch estimates that Allstate will earn $7.30 a share, up from $2.35 in 2005 (which was down 47 percent from 2004). Why? Allstate and others have jacked up rates on the Atlantic Coast between 50 percent and 100 percent, or in many cases declined coverage entirely.
(from WWL"S website)
Between 1987 and 1996 Allstate paid back policyholders 73 cents of every dollar it collected in premiums.
"But from 1997 to 2006 Allstate paid back just 59 cents of every dollar it collected in premiums.
Allstate should have been banned from the dome after treating the citizens of Mississippi and Louisiana like they did after the storm. Do like I did, cancel all Allstate policies, especially your automobile policies - this is their most profitable product. The two years have passed where the question of whether you filed a claim in the last two years is no longer an issue. The best way to repay Allstate is not to buy any product affiliated with Allstate or any subsidiary of Allstate. After all, what good is having insurance if you are not paid a fair settlement for your damages. When shopping for insurance this time, ask the agent to explain and put in writing what your actual settlement would be if your suffered a loss. Get them to identify all of the deductions they make to the value of your property and possessions, don't fall for the coverage limit amounts stated on the policy. You might be paying for a lot less coverage than you really have.
I had the same questions about Allstate's spending. My parents work for a competing insurance firm and informed me that the money for this bowl has been spent for years. These huge events are planned for as much as 5 years in advance and it is a different type of spending for all companies not just Allstate. My biggest question is why aren't you people fussing about Statefarm sponsoring the Bayou Classic???????
I know this goes against all the complaints about the insurance companies but here's an idea - if they're making big profits, why not invest in the companies? At least we'd see some of the money in our retirement plans and such. It's almost an "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" attitude, but the majority of stocks of companies are being purchased through our retirement funds. Then, the irony is that as a shareholder, you have a voice in the company. It might be small but it's a place to start. They don't listen to the complainers, they just might have to listen to the investors though.
Here's the other fact about big business. I'm not a fan of oil companies, however Shell did bring back JazzFest which puts lots of money into community related organizations as well as the cultural aspect of our city. I'm not a fan of Allstate, but does anyone recall the tally on how much the two bowl games brought in for tourism? Yeah, we're stuck with big companies in our backyard, so they should support our community. Allstate didn't have to do it. I know it's a marketing gimmick to an extent but it hasn't made anyone change their mind about insurance companies, so it's not in their favor really to do it. It's in our favor to have their ugly logos on our city. That's the American way now. It's unfortunate but blame it on Wal-Mart and the conglomerates. Blame it on lower prices and higher quantities of everything mentality of today. No one wants moderation, we want it all. It comes with a price and big ugly logos on everything we see.

Assistant Professor Microbiology and Molecular Genetics Medical College of Wisconsin
Research Focus: Cellular Responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis
PhD: Dartmouth College (2007)
Postdoctoral Training: Trudeau Institute, Saranac Lake, NY
An estimated one third of the world's population has been exposed to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of the disease tuberculosis (TB). Among these exposed individuals, 5-10% develop active TB over the course of their lifetime. Improved socioeconomic conditions, general health and the use of effective antimicrobial drug treatment have resulted in reduced exposure and a decrease in disease rates in many geographic regions. In other areas of the world, however, the public health measures required to adequately control TB are not optimal, making this disease a significant source of mortality and morbidity.
Members of the IL12 family of cytokines have been demonstrated to be important for immune-mediated control of M. tuberculosis. The research objectives of my laboratory include (1) testing what cell types must respond to IL12 family members in order to both control M. tuberculosis infection and limit TB-associated lung pathology and (2) characterizing endogenously expressed IL12 receptor agonists/antagonists. To meet these objectives we use a mouse model of TB that recapitulates important aspects of the human disease. Specifically, the model involves a low-dose (~75-100CFU) aerogenic infection of inbred mice with the virulent M. tuberculosis strain H37Rv. In order to assess the importance of select genes to control infection, my lab utilizes, in addition to wild type mice, both gene-knockout (KO) and transgenic (Tg) strains of mice on the same genetic background. Any difference observed between wild type and KO/Tg animals (in terms of either their control of bacterial burden or immune response to the pathogen) provides insight into how an individual gene regulates disease.
It is the goal of the Robinson lab that the data from our experiments not only influences scientists' understanding of human infection with M. tuberculosis, but also the identification of cell lineages and proteins in the lung whose modification may improve TB control and treatment.
Shown is an acid fast stain of Mtb-infected lungs from IL12-deficient mice. Although lymphocytes are present in the lung and localize near infected phagocytes, since IL12 is absent lymphocytes only have a limited ability to protect the host.

(70% merlot, 29% cabernet franc and 1% cabernet sauvignon, 3.6 pH, 3.5 g/l total acidity; 83 IPT; 37 h/h; 13.6% alcohol): Purple-ruby. Perfumed, cabernet franc-dominated aromas of strawberry, violet and bitter cocoa. Very refined on the palate, with vibrant acidity framing and lifting the very pure red fruit and mineral flavors. This beautiful Pomerol will develop slowly and gracefully. Alexandre Thienpont believes that the cabernet franc, which seemed to suffer from the heat of 200 and 2010, has given a cashmere feel to what he thinks is a classic wine that will age well. I couldn't agree more, as this is probably my wine of the vintage.
