Six East lancashire schools to get heart defibrilators
3:00pm Sunday 24th February 2013 in News
SIX schools will have defibrilators installed thanks to the Pumping Marvellous charity and the Lancashire Telegraph.
Ten defibrilators have been purchased with £10,000 of funding from the Gannett Foundation, the charitable arm of Gannett Co Inc, owner of Newsquest Media Group, whose titles include the Lancashire Telegraph.
To date, nine schools in East Lancashire have been approached and six have accepted the potentially life-saving equipment.
Defibrilators can be used by an untrained person to help jump-start the heart in the case of a cardiac arrest.
They will be located in schools, but will be available to the community in case of an emergency.
The school that will be having the equipment installed include St Mary's RC School in Oswaldtwistle, Our Lady of Perpetual Succour RC School in Blackburn, Darwen Vale High School in Darwen, Wensley Fold Primary School in Blackburn, and St Augustine High School in Billington.
Other schools which have been approached also include Rose Grove in Burnley and Witton Park High School in Blackburn.
The charity would also like to install a defibrilator into a school in Sabden, due to its remote location.
Nick Hartshorne-Evans, chairman of the Altham charity, said: "I think it's a great uptake.
"These schools have been identified because of the number of high priority calls in the area for the ambulance service, which include cardiac arrests and heart attacks.
"All these schools have been targeted because they are in these hot spot areas.
"We have also looked at locations in hard to reach areas where response times are longer."
Installation will take place from March onwards."

A great idea and beggars belief that any school would turn one down.

Four men are in custody, awaiting formal arraignment on charges they murdered a married couple in Chautauqua County. The victims were found dead early yesterday when volunteer firefighters responded to a call at their log home along Wheeler Hill Road in the Town of Carroll.
Sheriff Joe Gerace said the victims, 66 year old Gordon Skinner and his wife, 59 year old Joyce Skinner were the victims of a home invasion, but he said the crime was not random.
Authorities are released few details of their investigation. However, Gerace called the crime "deeply troubling."
He said, "In my 34 years in law enforcement this is one of the most disturbing and troubling incidents I have had the unfortunate experience of having to deal with. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the family members and friends of the Skinners."
Authorities identify the suspects as 34 year old David Cogins, 21 year old Joshua McCormick, 18 year old Steven Todd and 18 year old Ricky Knickerbocker. They were all arrested in Elmira, New York, then brought to the Chautauqua County Jail in Mayville.
Deputies will not say if any of the suspects knew the victims. And they are not commenting on how the victims were killed. But Gerace did say a firearm was not used.

There are guys in the NBA who come off the bench when teams need a defensive presence. Guys like Taj Gibson, Nick Collison, Luc Mbah a Moute and
Tracy McGrady Vince Carter Shane Battier, who thrive on shutting down their opponents. Jason Richardson, a starter, is not one of these guys. Not legally anyway.
(via The Basketball Jones)
This is, in case you were unaware, against the rules. But only if the referee actually notices it. If not, then it just makes Jason Richardson the single-greatest bench defensive specialist in the league.


text: Prenatal Yoga Sequence For Tight Hips and Hamstrings Hip Openers and Hamstring Stretches For Expectant Moms by Jenny Sugar 5/12/12 25 Reactions 1.4K Shares Print 1.2K 168 20 1 1 Yoga is the perfect exercise for expectant mommas, not only to increase strength and flexibility, but it can also ease common pregnancy woes such as a sore lower back and heartburn. It can also help you hone your sense of balance, which is ever changing as your belly expands. Here's a yoga sequence that incorporates standing poses to strengthen your lower body while increasing the flexibility in your hips and hamstrings. Complete the entire 12-pose sequence on one side and repeat again on the other. Be sure to ease into the poses since the hormone relaxin softens your joints and gives your muscles more elasticity. This makes it easier for you to stretch deeper than you ever could, increasing your risk for tearing a muscle. *Remember to talk to your doc before starting any exercise program when pregnant. Downward Facing Dog What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Begin on your hands and feet in Downward Facing Dog. Relax your shoulders and lengthen your spine, staying here for five breaths. 1 / 12 Three-Legged Dog What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Step both feet together, then lift your right leg as high as you can, coming into Three-Legged Dog. Keep your shoulders parallel with the floor and take five deep breaths. 2 / 12 Warrior 3 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Step your right foot forward between your palms, place your hands on your hips, and lift your back leg, coming into Warrior 3. Balance here for five breaths. If you have trouble balancing, try steadying yourself with one hand on the wall. 3 / 12 Revolved Warrior 1 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Step your left foot back behind you, so your legs are in Warrior 1 position. Reach your right arm behind you and place it on your lower back or hold onto your left hamstring. Lift your left arm up, and gaze over your right shoulder for five deep breaths. 4 / 12 Warrior 2 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Untwist your torso and face the other side of your mat. Open your arms in T-position, coming into Warrrior 2. Stay for five breaths, making sure your front knee is over your ankle. 6 / 12 Reverse Warrior What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Gently arch back and lower your left hand down, resting it on the back of your left leg. Raise your right arm overhead, feeling the stretch through the right side of the body into Crescent Moon (Reverse Warrior). Make sure you continue to lower your hips, and press your front knee forward so it's directly over your right ankle. Hold for five deep breaths. 6 / 12 Twisting Extended Side Angle What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lift your torso up and rest your right elbow on your right thigh, and your palm on your belly. Reach your left arm behind your lower back, and clasp your fingers around your inner thigh. Hold Twisting Extended Side Angle for five breaths. 7 / 12 Open Extended Triangle What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Release your hands, lift your torso up, and straighten your right leg. Keep both legs straight as you reach your right hand straight out over your right leg, making your spine as long as you can. Depending on how flexible your hamstrings are, lower your right hand down and rest it on your right shin, on a block, or place your palm flat on the floor if you can. Extend your left arm straight over your ear. Hold Open Extended Triangle for five breaths. 8 / 12 Lizard What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bend your right knee and bring your top arm to the floor. If your hips are flexible and you want a deeper stretch, lower down onto your forearms, holding Lizard pose for five deep breaths. 9 / 12 Kneeling Hamstring Stretch What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If your elbows were on the floor, come back onto your hands. Shift your hips back, straighten your front leg, and do this kneeling hamstring stretch. If your hamstrings are super flexible, feel free to lower down into Split. Hold for five breaths. Just a word of caution: the splits are an extreme move for your hips and pelvis; with the relaxin hormone softening the connective tissue all over your body, you want to be careful with such extreme poses. 11 / 12 Pigeon What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bend your right knee, coming into Pigeon. Keep your torso lifted or fold forward over your right leg. Stay like this, breathing for five deep breaths. 11 / 12 Wide Child's Pose What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Place your hands on the floor and step your right leg back. Place your knees on the floor, widen them to a comfortable distance, then fold forward, coming into a Wide Child's Pose. After five breaths, tuck your toes, lift your hips up and come into Down Dog.

To the editor:
With Gay Pride Month winding down, and with all the discussion about the rainbow flag flying at Grant Circle — and with some responses to it being flat out wrong — I thought it necessary to set the record straight about the flag.
Several anonymous posters in the paper's echo chamber insisted the flag represented gay men and lesbians and that it excluded all others. Those posters are woefully ignorant of the flag's history.
The rainbow flag was actually the inspiration of the Rev. Jesse Jackson and his organization once known as PUSH —People United to Save Humanity. The flag's origins lie in the urban world of Chicago and it was meant to be a symbol of the diversity — be it racial, ethnic, gender-related, or socio-economic in nature — so typical of the nation's large urban centers.
It is true that the gay community embraced the symbolism behind the flag more than some other communities, but there is nothing exclusively gay or exclusionary about the flag. It was always meant to be a symbol of both the diversity and the similarities that make being human such a unique and special experience.
I have said before that, by agreeing to fly the flag, Mayor Kirk deserves credit not just for tipping her hat to Cape Ann's many gay residents this month, but to all Cape Ann residents who are so important to making this place the special place that it is.
The rainbow flag is a symbol for all people. Anyone who thinks otherwise is sadly mistaken.

KSP Highway Safety Branch News Release
Eleven Die On Kentucky Roadways Last Week (June 11 through June 17)
Date of News Release: 06/18/12
(Frankfort, Ky.) -- Preliminary statistics* indicate that eleven people died in eleven separate crashes on Kentucky roadways from Monday, June 11, through Sunday, June 17, 2012.
Seven of the fatalities involved motor vehicles and four victims were not wearing seat belts. Single-fatality crashes occurred in Boone, Hardin, Jefferson, Laurel, Letcher, McCracken and Warren counties. The crashes in Letcher and McCracken counties involved the suspected use of alcohol.
There were four motorcycle involved fatalities that occurred in Fayette, Jefferson (2) and Perry counties.
Through June 17, 2012, preliminary statistics* indicate that 337 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2012. This is 44 more fatalities than reported for the same time period in 2011. There have been 278 motor vehicle fatalities and 158 of those victims were not wearing seat belts. Thirty-two of those crashes involved a commercial motor vehicle. Thirty-one crashes involved a motorcycle and sixteen victims were not wearing helmets. Three crashes involved an ATV and two victims were not wearing helmets. Twenty-four crashes involved a pedestrian and one involved a bicycle. Fifty-eight deaths have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas. Crash data for this report is generated from the Kentucky Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).

In 1938, Robert Spear noticed two parakeets flying out of his Vermont barn. Fascinated by their appearance, he carved their likeness in white pine with a jackknife then painted it the appropriate colors. His attraction to birds grew, as did his skill in reproducing their images.
Soon his creations numbered in the hundreds.
By 1987, needing a place to display his work, Spear founded a nonprofit corporation and opened a museum in rural Huntington, Vt. My wife, Marty, and I stopped by Birds of Vermont two weeks ago, where we briefly met Mr. Spear, now 90 years old, in his workshop, putting the finishing touches on yet another specimen.
Staff member Allison set up an introductory video for us. We learned about Spear's dedication and also about his technique. Penknives and chisels have been supplemented over the years with electric tools. He's unique for painting his carvings before burning and etching fine details. Spear believes that makes them more realistic.
That first parakeet sits in a display case, along with other early work. One wooden rack holds an assortment of warblers. For variety, there's also a guitar he made.
We began looking at the more than 450 carvings that fill the building. Spear's newest installation begins right outside the video room. Scenic backdrops complement a collection of aquatic birds frequenting the Lake Champlain basin. One side of the aisle depicts birds in spring plumage inhabiting the area where the Winooski River enters the lake. Opposite are species in fall plumage, backed by a diorama of Dead Creek in Addison County. A few birds are represented by silhouettes; future carvings will take their places. One will be a cormorant diving underwater for fish.
A monumental carved turkey rules the roost nearby, the product of more than 1,200 hours of work. The live version of this quintessentially American bird has thrived since being reintroduced to the region in 1969. I'd known Benjamin Franklin had championed the species over the eagle as our national symbol. But I hadn't realized the turkey can run 18 mph, fly 55 mph and glide a mile without flapping its wings.
On the second floor landing, we were greeted by a selection of raptors. We carried bar-code readers, allowing us to scan labels near many of the birds and hear their sounds. The call of the eagle surprised me by being fairly muted, but there was no mistaking the insistent warning cry of the peregrine falcon. One unique fact: The male merlin will pass food to the female while still midair, in essence a KC-35 of the avian family.

Editor's Note: As new lighting technology makes its way into academic venues, the way students learn about lighting design is changing. What follows are two case histories in which students made use of new lighting technology to achieve their designs.
The All-Automated Rig
by Cindy Limauro
Since moving into a brand-new facility, Carnegie Mellon School of Drama's lighting program has integrated moving-light technology into the curriculum. A Martin package and a Vari-Lite package are distributed among three performance spaces for use in productions. One venue, the Wells Video Studio, is primarily set up to be a moving-light lab for classroom projects, including the new year-long course in automated lighting technology.
With a large and talented musical theatre class, the faculty felt it was necessary to add another musical to the season. Design and production resources were already heavily committed to the mainstage and studio theatre productions, so Kiss of the Spider Woman was conceived to be a small chamber production in the Wells, with minimal support. I assigned a student lighting designer and a master electrician to the project (we had not yet solved the issue of a crew). Given the small size of the venue, the budget, and labor limitations, LD Bryan Miller made a proposal to design the entire production using moving lights only. Aside from the initial hang of the units, his proposal solved the issue of limited crew resources. Students from the automated lighting class would serve as programmers as part of their class experience and would also run the console during performances. Recognizing the educational value to the students, director Geoffrey Hitch bravely agreed to take this journey into unknown territory. While we have successfully implemented the use of moving lights in productions, we have never used moving lights alone without the support of a conventional fixture plot. This would affect how lighting changes could be made during the tech process and would present a whole new set of challenges for the director, actors, and lighting designer.
Kiss of the Spider Woman is a musical set in multiple physical locations; there are also many scenes that take place inside the characters' minds. In his director's notes, Geoffrey Hitch calls Spider Woman "an adult musical drama rooted in human suffering. Set in a Latin-American prison in the recent past, the play mixes brutality with fantasy, oppression with the beauty and safety of escape. Betrayal becomes loyalty. Loathing becomes respect. Love becomes death." In the absence of scenery with only minimal elements and props, Bryan Miller's major challenge in lighting the show was to convey to an audience the various physical locations and to distinguish reality from fantasy. Miller explains, "The director's concept was to focus on the situation in which the characters found themselves and then demonstrate how they coped with surviving their ordeal. The fantasy world that the characters create slowly permeates the space, starting out only in the corners of the theatre, with these figments of the prisoners' imaginations appearing to sing their songs, and then fading back into nothing. Slowly, they become more invasive, eventually overwhelming the harsh reality of the jail cell and taking over the stage. This growing need for escapism is emphasized in the lighting as well, starting off by utilizing only tight specials for the fantasy characters early on, eventually incorporating the entire theatre, including projections above and around the audience."
Given that Kiss of the Spider Woman would not have any additional tech time and, in some ways, would have less time because of double-casting, the LD and the director needed to work out a strategy for success. The lighting would be required to transform the space seamlessly from one location to another. Without the use of conventional fixtures this would involve meticulous timing for all blocking — not just in the transitions.
One advantage to not having scenery was that preparation for the lighting could begin immediately. Hitch sketched out a ground plan of acting areas and pre-blocked each scene, giving detailed storyboards to the lighting designer. Miller was then able to create focus points and rough-in the cueing structure of the show, literally blocking the lighting in the theatre as the actors were learning the same blocking in the rehearsal room. Periodically, the acting rehearsal would move into the theatre for a day to check on the accuracy of the blocking, as well as address concerns about the noise of the lighting fixtures and the ability of the singers to be heard over the orchestra without amplification.
A New Approach Yields New Problems
The final lighting rig consisted of 19 moving lights: one Martin Professional MAC 2000, two MAC 500s, six MAC 600s, three Vari*Lite® VL2202s™, seven VL2414s™, and one Vari*Lite Virtuoso™ console. The fixtures were hung, circuited, and addressed in a single four-hour call. Programming the cues began 10 days before tech rehearsals started and involved 18 hours broken into six three-hour sessions. The lighting team consisted of Miller, the master electrician, an assistant lighting designer, a different programmer for each session from the automated moving light class, a faculty design advisor, and staff master electrician advisor. The assistant lighting designer's job was to make sure that each programmer knew the programming syntax being used, to ensure continuity. The tech schedule included three four-hour tech rehearsals and three four-hour dress rehearsals. Three hours of additional cueing time was set aside each day for notes.
Miller's plan was to rough-in a cue structure that blocked out lighting areas for each scene before tech rehearsals started and then to use the tech rehearsals to refine the timings of each transition. Progress was slow for a variety of reasons. First, cueing from storyboard blocking notations to live actors in the space resulted in mistakes in the translation. In retrospect, videotaping a run-through rehearsal would have been invaluable to the designer for accuracy of movement and timings. In a typical four-hour tech rehearsal period only four scenes would be covered and, since the principal characters were double-cast, each scene had to be run twice. While this initially seemed helpful for cueing, subtle differences in the two casts' blocking became amplified with the addition of a precision cueing structure that not only relied on the same placement of the characters but also on the same timing. To help solve this problem, each cast watched the other perform. The director would then discuss with the actors which movement worked best and where compromises were needed.
The lighting designer's toughest challenge was "maximizing the flexibility of the lighting rig not only to get the most out of the design, but also to make it happen seamlessly, so that the production did not end up looking like a rock concert," Miller explains. "With relatively few units in the air, most lights were needed in consecutive sequences, going from jail cell scenes to musical numbers instantly. To accomplish this, certain lights would have to be sneaked out early in order to get set for the upcoming song."
Magical Results and Lessons Learned
Watching the first cue-to-cue tech, I was struck by the uniqueness of this process: It reduced each moment to its absolute minimum but at the same time allowed for complete flexibility of movement, color, and focus. No conventional rig would have allowed the designer to follow the action around the stage in such a precise manner. The lighting truly became a part of each character.
In fact, in the post-show critique, the actors talked about how the lighting had influenced their process. While teching the show had been a long, tedious process for them, the results were worth the time spent. The lighting transformed the space into the world of the play and they would respond to the light physically as it shifted between fantasy and reality.
If we were to attempt this process again we would make the following changes:
- Build spare moving light units into the plot. With so few fixtures, every instrument was critical and if something went wrong with a unit before a performance there often wasn't enough time to solve the problem.
- Double-hang certain key positions to allow for subtle transitions in consecutive sequences.
- Videotape a run-through rehearsal to more accurately set up the cueing structure within a very limited time frame.
- Try to avoid a double-cast situation.
The use of advanced lighting technologies in an academic environment continues to challenge the way we teach and the way we tell stories. Both provide excitement for the future.

A Clockwork Catalyst
by Kelly Gordon
High End Systems' revolutionary Catalyst™ system combines highly developed graphic projection with moving-light technology. The system allows for both moving or still images to be projected, and these images can also be manipulated according to the needs of the designer. While Catalyst has primarily been used in rock concerts and televised awards shows, the system is beginning to make its way into the theatre, where it can serve not only as a moving light instrument but can also supplement a set.
Frank Gordon, CEO of High End Systems, describes what he sees as the primary difference between the use of Catalyst in rock and roll versus a theatrical environment: "In a nutshell, rock-and-roll and concert touring may be looking for a lot more adventure in order to amuse an audience that is always looking for more. Theatre may be looking for substitutions of some sets, some enhancements. The audience is accustomed to the make-believe quality of using sets that are less real and designers have a poetic license that permits them to do more with less. In all cases, Catalyst can be what you want it to be. Innovative people have already done things we did not imagine, which comes as no surprise. The product was meant to enhance creativity and put more choices in the hands of professionals."
The innovative use of the Catalyst system in A Clockwork Orange, co-produced in fall 2002 by the University of Texas at Dallas and the Collin County Community College, blurred the lines between lighting and set design. The play, adapted by Brad Baker from the novel by Anthony Burgess, takes place in over 50 locations, which was one of the initial challenges for the set designer, Craig Erikson, and the lighting designer, Jeff Stover. Stover comments, "Fifty-plus locales [is] really hard to do with just lighting and an abstract set. So the Catalyst system really bailed me out a lot of times by projecting the moon or trees on the cyc, giving us a park feel. For me, as a lighting designer, it opens up a whole new area of texture. You can put real trees as texture onstage if you want. Or clouds, moving clouds, things like that. I think it added a dynamic to the show, without getting in people's faces."
Early on, Erikson had planned to solve the problem of the multiple locations in A Clockwork Orange with the use of projections. He says, "We had planned to use as many as 10 separate video projectors and input sources for those projectors. When we heard about the Catalyst, we jumped on it as soon as we could, trying to find out if they were available for rental. Luckily, we found a great connection through the University of Texas at Dallas that helped us out and, obviously, got to High End directly. We ended up using three of their units to basically take the place of the 10 that we had anticipated. Probably what we were going to have to use was a PowerPoint-driven slide show for each of these projectors. The Catalyst took the place of that and eventually wound up being much more user-friendly than PowerPoint, once we got the images in and got them up and projected. It really ended up being a lifesaver for us, not only in terms of saving the cost of having to buy and/or rent the 10 individual projectors; we would have had to find 10 operators for those projectors from an individual computer source. We were able to operate our three Catalysts from one position, so it saved money all the way around."
With the use of the Catalyst system, Erikson chose to project images on three surfaces, one on either side of the proscenium and a third which traversed the upstage area. In one of the most interesting scenes in the production, Alex, the protagonist, is forced to watch graphically disturbing images as part of a programming scheme to correct his violent brain. Erikson placed graphic images on the screens to help the audience see what Alex was seeing. In other scenes, images were used to indicate specific locations. (For example, images of pavement were used to portray a street scene.) As characters moved quickly from location to location, the images could keep up in a way that physical set changes could not, which led to smooth transitions between scenes. The use of the screens also lent a high-tech, sleek quality to the production which fit the script well.
There are, of course, pros and cons to using the Catalyst in a college environment. Using this type of state-of-the-art equipment allows colleges and universities to develop productions that are on the cutting edge. Furthermore, from a training standpoint, being able to work with the Catalyst puts students at a definite advantage. Stover says, "I'm a firm believer that college students should learn on state-of-the-art equipment as well as old and junky equipment, because you're going to run into that in the professional world. You'll run into some places that have state-of-the-art equipment and some places that have two lights, and you'll have to be able to do something with that. But I do believe that exposing university students to new technology only prepares them and makes them better candidates for working once they leave the university environment. The more exposure they have to technology, the more marketable they'll be once they get out there."
One of the limitations of the Catalyst in an educational environment is that either the technical director or the designer needs to have a solid understanding of automated instruments. As Stover points out, "That puts a lot of people at a serious disadvantage because a lot of theatre professors out there don't keep up with technology. It's easy to get the system set up if you know about automated lighting, but it can be very daunting to someone who doesn't understand the way automated lighting works." While companies like High End Systems offer training seminars, not all technical theatre professors are able to take advantage of them, due to rigorous teaching schedules and limited budgets.
Perhaps the biggest challenge to using the Catalyst in an academic setting is the expense of renting the equipment. Because High End Systems wanted to expand the use of the Catalyst in theatre, the University of Texas at Dallas and Collin County Community College were able to get the equipment for free for the run of the show. Were this not the case, it is doubtful that the Catalyst could have been used for the schools' co-production of A Clockwork Orange.
High End Systems is aware that the current price of the product may very well keep it from being a viable option for most colleges and universities. CEO Gordon comments, "We are working on more features and lower price points for the future. We recognize that the current product is expensive and not easy to grasp at first but we wanted to pioneer the product development with something most innovative and the Catalyst is it."

vacation rental description
Architecturally amazing and filled with primary colors, Benchmark 315 is located just a few blocks
from the Chili Express chairlift and 1 mile from the Angel Fire golf course. The dining table views
of the Moreno Valley and Wheeler Peak are absolutely incredible. It is indeed a pleasure to wake in
the morning with the view of Wheeler, snowcapped in the winter or punctuated by hot air balloons
rising in the summer. Drifting off to sleep under the fluffy king comforter with the skylight full
of stars is another treat found in Benchmark 315.
Entered through a cathedral ceilinged airlock, this is a third floor unit with a double loft. It is
decorated in a bright modern style to take advantage of the unique architecture and floor plan. The
master suite is huge with a king size bed, double Jacuzzi tub, and enough windows to make you think
you're sleeping outside. Wireless internet means you can sit on the bed or move to the couch to
catch up on business or email.
The bright second bedroom has a queen size bed with east-facing windows to catch the morning sun. A
divided bathroom with tub/shower combination and separate sink area is conveniently situated for the
second bedroom and main living area. A stacked washer/dryer unit is located in the kitchen next to
the pantry, so clothes can always be dry before heading out to the slopes or river the next day.
The loft area upstairs is divided into two sections - the first has 3 twin beds just up the circular
stair from the dining room. The second loft over the kitchen sleeps two and includes the half-bath.
Its 20 foot ceiling is capped by an atrium style skylight bringing daylight to the loft and into the
living area.
If the need arises, there is a sleeper sofa in the living room, which brings the sleeping capacity
to 11 people. Many families have commented that when they stay in our condo the children are at home
in the loft while the adults can visit downstairs. Truthfully, sitting by the Jotul gas stove in
the living room while watching the new flat screen is very relaxing after a day of hiking or skiing.

"Books permit us to voyage through time, to tap the wisdom of our ancestors. The library connects us with the insights and knowledge, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all of our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to inspire us to make our own contribution to the collective knowledge of the human species.

What Does the Large Hadron Collider Do?The LHC circulates a beam of charged particles (specifically hadrons, probably either protons or lead ions) through a tube which maintains a continuous vacuum. The particles are guided through the continuous vacuum within the circular tube using a series of magnetic superconductors which accelerate and guide the charged particles. In order to maintain the superconducting properties of the magnets, they remain supercooled near absolute zero by a massive cryogenic system.
Once the beam reaches its highest energy levels, obtained by steadily increasing the energy as the beam circles repeatedly through the magnets, it will be maintained in a storage ring. This is a loop of tunnel where the magnets will keep circulating the beam so that it retains its kinetic energy, sometimes for hours on end. The beam can then be routed out of the storage ring to be sent into the various testing areas of the LHC.
The beams are expected to obtain energy levels up to 7 TeV (7 x 1012 electronvolts). Since two beams will collide with each other, the energy of the collisions are therefore anticipated to reach 14 TeV from protons.
In addition, by accelerating heavier lead ions, they anticipate collisions with energies in the range of 1,250 TeV ... energy levels on the order of those obtained only moments after the Big Bang. (Not the energies obtained during the Big Bang. The TeV energy scale is about 1016 times smaller than the Planck mass energy scale, for example, which Lee Smolin uses as the top of his particle energy scale in The Trouble with Physics. Presumably, the Big Bang energy levels would have been somewhere on this Planck energy scale or higher, where the quantum physics and general relativity aspects of reality both begin to break down.)
What Is the Large Hadron Collider Looking For?Since the Large Hadron Collider will be having collisions of such high energy, the hope is that it will release exotic particles which are normally not observed. Any results from the Large Hadron Collider collisions should have a major impact on our understanding of physics, either confirming or refuting the projections from the Standard Model of particle physics.
One major product which is being looked for is the Higgs boson, the last particle from the Standard Model of particle physics that hasn't been observed.
It's also possible that the LHC will create some indicators of the exotic dark matter, which makes up nearly 95% of the universe but cannot be directly observed!
Similarly, there might be some evidence of the extra dimensions predicted by string theory. The fact is that we just don't know until we perform the experiments!
LHC Experiments
There are a variety of ongoing experimental systems built into CERN:
- ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) and CMS (Compact Muon Solenoid) - these two large, general purpose detectors will be capable of analyzing the particle produced in LHC collisions. Having two such detectors, designed and operated on different principles, allows independent confirmation of the results.
- ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) - this experiment will collide lead ions, creating energies similar to those just after the Big Bang. The hope is to create the quark-gluon plasma believed to have existed at these energy levels.
- LHCb (LHC beauty) - this detector specifically looks for the beauty quark, which will allow it to study the differences between matter and antimatter, including why our universe appears to have so much matter and so little antimatter!
- TOTEM (TOTal Elastic and diffractive cross section Measurement) - this smaller detector will analyze "forward particles" which only brush past each other instead of having head-on collisions. It will be able to measure the size of the proton, for example, and the luminosity within the LHC.
- LHCf (LHC forward) - this small detector also studies forward particles, but analyzes how the cascades of charged particles within the LHC relates to the cosmic rays that bombard the Earth from outer space, helping interpret and calibrate studies of the cosmic rays.
Who Runs the Large Hadron Collider?The Large Hadron Collider was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). It is staffed by physicists and engineers from around the world. Nations participating in the construction and experiments consist of:
Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan Republic, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Morocco, Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States, Uzbekistan

Friday night saw the Bears put on pads, which meant we saw actual hitting. Hitting! Which meant the defense won. Which meant it's like every other start to spring practice that we've heard reports about.
1. Quarterback performances. Starting to look like it's inevitable that Zach Kline will be at least a top two quarterback. Only one quarterback has taken significant reps all three practices (Kline). Only one quarterback has moved up in the practice rotation at several points (Kline). Only one quarterback has been relatively mistake-free throughout his practices (Kline). After one week, he's definitely been the top performer.
The bigger surprise is Jared Goff. He's getting into the rotation early. He continues to throw an accurate, catch-able football. Goff's offense in high school seemed to be very focused on accurate routes that would get the football distributed to all the receivers, and he's showcasing that he has a lot of upside. He still has to work on things like strength, but early reviews are solid.
Austin Hinder didn't see a lot of snaps on Friday, but he got some action near the end. Hinder is probably right in the mix to be in the top three; depending on the reports you read, he's had some inconsistent moments but also has thrown probably the second best set of footballs behind Kline.
Allan Bridgford is falling off the pace and losing snaps. Not a good sign.
Kyle Boehm seems to be another tier off.
Right now it's Kline, Goff and Hinder likely to battle for the top two positions on the depth chart.

Kline: Throwing footballs halfway across the field when under duress for completions are usually the sign that you have a special quarterback in your rotation.
Kenny Lawler: There were various observations that Lawler looked a lot like a modified version of Keenan Allen. Allen is more of an athletic specimen who was overwhelming for defenders to deal with at the college level, but Lawler does seem to be a smoother receiver who can make quick catches and accelerate after he gets the ball.
Darius Powe: Powe is playing deep threat so far in this offense, and he had a series of catches that went beyond 20 yarsd.

4. Standout performers, defense
Kyle Kragen: Kragen is making his impact felt immediately. He blew up Freddie Tagaloa one-on-one multiple times. Having a pass-rushing defensive end could be a huge deal
Michael Barton: With many of Cal's outside linebackers moving to defensive ends, this should open up opportunities for the younger backs to enter the rotation. And Barton looks like an athlete, making an incredible chase down run of Darren Ervin and knocking heads several times. The linebacking rotation is stacked but Barton could try hard to get in the second spot.
Kameron Jackson: Jackson is the number one cornerback at this point. Almost every throw that comes his way is either well-defended or has a chance at getting picked. Stefan McClure is performing alright, but he's spottier so far and still seems to be trying to regain the range.
Cal defensive line: Whipped the offensive line. Other than Kragen, Gabe King, Keni Kaufusi, Antoine Davis, Mustafa Jalil all had excellent moments in getting the better of their counterparts. The O-line hopefully will start showing better the more the team plays in pads.

5. Link snippets
The core of the first team offense - at least thus far - appears to be: Bryce Treggs, Darius Powe, Darren Ervin, Freddie Tagaloa, Jordan Rigsbee, Mark Brazinski, Bill Tyndall, and Jordan Rigsbee. The other two wide receiver positions have been filled by Maximo Espitia and Joel Willis at times, but not consistently enough to say with any certainty. Quarterback, obviously, also continues to rotate.
Dykes, however, was troubled by poor ball security and fatigue on offense. Those issues converged at the running back position, where there was a noticeable step back.
"Anytime you put the ball on the ground as many times as we did it is disappointing, but it is a positive because it means the defense is doing a good job stripping the ball," Dykes said. "Those guys really did a good job of flying around, getting to the football, and stripping it."
"It's hard to put too much into it," he said. "We're just trying to go through and see who we think deserves to get some more reps. What you do is you eliminate guys as much as you decide on somebody as a starter or decide to give somebody a lot of reps. It's a moving target right now, really."
"The coaches are about to decide on a top two," Drake Whitehurst told GoldenBearReport.com on Friday night. "They'll have certain wide receivers that will go with each of them. It should happen in the next one to two weeks."

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - The state of New York has subpoenaed materials related to the $10 sale of the rights to the "World Trade Center" name.
An official familiar with the review tells The Associated Press that subpoenas from the New York attorney general have gone out in an investigation into a 1986 naming rights deal.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the probe.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey sold the naming rights to retired Port Authority executive Guy Tozzoli in his role as head of the nonprofit World Trade Centers Association.
The Record newspaper reported that the Port Authority is now among the entities that pay to use the "World Trade Center" name.

Really great looking shoe cover! I love the Capo brand and was really impressed with these booties. If you like Capo you'll love the design. Functionality? I need to put some miles on them in different conditions but they are warm. The one thing I will tell anyone is that they are VERY snug. If you're on the edge like I was just go up one size. I wear a size 11 shoe and the XL fits great. They are just a bugger to get on but you don't have any slippage during the ride.

I ordered the XXL, hoping, it would fit my size 14/50 shoe, and it didn't.
The covers look great, look warm, but they run small.
Fast and easy ordering, quick delivery.
Great Winter Bootie!

I wear Euro 46/US 11.5 Sidi shoes and the XXL booties fit perfectly! They are very sturdy/durable and I can already tell they are going to be warm and last for many seasons. They have a zipper in the back and a velcro closure to cover up the zipper. I typically do not ride if it's below 40, but these will do the trick to suit my needs. Highly recommended for a winter bootie that's lightweight and not bulky, while still providing great warmth and wind protection.
Great for under 30...
Member since
I don't get cold that fast, but found that at the end of an hour long ride my feet where getting extremely cold in 30 or colder weather.
I was using the capo sock shoe covers and wanted something for the colder times. These work really well for me. My feet stay warm but not to warm that they sweat.
I'm a big fan of the open bottom, let's me walk around without a problem.

A Murfreesboro woman says she was raped after responding to an ad on Craigslist. The woman told police she responded to an ad for a free massage.
She said a man then came to her house at 11 p.m. one night with a massage table.
The woman told police the massage soon turned into a sexual assault, and the man covered her mouth so she could not scream.
"Unfortunately, if it's too good to be true it usually is," said Murfreesboro police spokesman Sgt. Kyle Evans. "There are steps you can take to guarantee your safety. The first would be to check references, check with the Better Business Bureau. Check to make sure they are licensed before you respond to ads. Certainly, never invite someone to your private residence."
Police have not arrested that man yet, but say they are following up on leads.

Women's Rowing Competing in FIRA Championships
Follow @JURowing
SARASOTA, Fla. – This weekend the Jacksonville University women's rowing program will join some of the best collegiate rowers in the Florida as they compete in the two-day FIRA State Rowing Championships.
"We have seen a lot of progress in our training over the last month, and we are looking forward to see how it translates into racing," said Head Coach Jim Mitchell. "We have some tough competition, including the No. 1 ranked Div. II National Champions, Nova Southeastern. Each boat will need to be ready for prime racing this weekend."
"Last year, our women's team contributed to the overall point trophy, but came up short for the women's point trophy. We will be going for both this year."
Competing in last year's FIRA's, the women's team had a strong showing with the Freshman Four finishing in the top spot with a time of 8:54.8 and the Freshman Eight crossing second in their race at 7:53.5.
Friday's qualifying is set to start at 3 p.m. with the finals starting at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday. The women's Freshman Four will kick off racing for JU in a 3:40 heat against Georgia Tech, Rollins, Florida and Tampa.
At the end of the month, the women will trek north to New Jersey to row in the MAAC Championships. Racing is scheduled for April 26.

Chlorine spill causes traffic snarl

I had to run (more like crawl) to a store in Dublin earlier today and saw the traffic. Practically all major city streets were backed up due to this accident: northbound Santa Rita, northbound Hopyard, northbound Foothill, westbound Stoneridge, westbound Owens Dr, etc. It is accidents like these that make me wonder why the Tri-Valley governments don't get their act together and make a Tri-Valley light rail system. Buses are great up to the point when they become stuck in traffic. Rail systems using different road networks don't run into congestion due to freeway problems.

Thankfully the driver was not injured too seriously.
Good work by the Dublin CHP and Caltrans in clearing the road and keeping us safe as they do every day. Thanks guys!

Oh and Pleasanton PD and I'm sure Dublin PD! Can't forget you guys too.
