Conserve By Printing Fewer Pages
Print only the pages you need - If you only need a hard copy of a single sub-section of a document, choose to print the page range that you need. Consider printing an article without the bibliography and refer to the electronic copy as needed.
Reduce the number of copies that you print - Print only as many copies as you need and limit the number of extras. Is it possible for groups to share handouts rather than having one copy per person?
Review your document carefully before printing - Before you print check the properties of your document. By using the print preview feature, you can avoid printing blank pages and catch formatting errors. If you catch it before you send it to the printer you will avoid the need to re-print the document.
Only print once - If you submit a print job and it doesn't come out of the printer, don't just send it again, find out why. You can log in at print.allegheny.edu to view the status of Recent Print Jobs. You will also receive an email if a print job is denied. You may simply need to wait a little while longer if the printing system is experiencing a high demand. If a printer is temporarily out of order, you may end up wasting paper and Print Points by submitting multiple jobs.
Decrease font size - Consider decreasing the font size of your document to squeeze more content on to fewer pages.
Decrease margins - Decrease the size of the margins to fit more text on each page.
Use duplex printers when possible – Using duplex capable printers will allow you to print on both sides of the page to conserve paper and use fewer Print Points.
Print multiple pages per side -
- For more information about printing multiple pages on each sheet of paper option see this tutorial.
- For PowerPoint presentations print multiple slides per page. For more information about this option see this tutorial.
Conserve By Using Electronic Documents
Read documents in electronic form when possible - You can avoid excessive printing by reading your documents on your computer or mobile device.
Store documents in Google Documents or Sakai - Instead of keeping paper copies of your documents, store them in Google Documents or Sakai. You can also easily share documents with others and access your documents online anywhere that you have an Internet connection.
Only print final copies - By reviewing and editing your drafts in their electronic formats you can save paper by only printing the final copy.

Effingham City commissioners want to see meaningful economic development, but for some the cost of joining a group whose focus is just that is too steep.The Effingham County Economic Development Foundation presented an invitation to the city to join the board of directors. The city would be allowed to two representatives on the board.The foundation is a repurposing of the Effingham Civic Foundation and focuses on the county's industrial livelihood and employment opportunism in addition to other supporting services to improve the quality of living."We want to really make a good tie with public and private folks working together," said President Dan Woods.Woods reported in the county the population of those over 65 years of age is growing at a rate of 171 percent as compared to the general population, while the working population and the number of people under the age of 24 is shrinking.Woods and Treasurer Claude Hudson also stressed the importance of the foundation aligning with resident values."This city works very hard at economic and industrial development," Woods said.
"It's a breath of fresh air ... the vitality, the vigor, the resilience that you see in Effingham County is because we take an active effort in trying to bring businesses in, we encourage business growth. That's going to serve us well because we have to counter these off-setting trends," said Hudson.
But even with all the positives Effingham County has to offer, Hudson reported that statistics show more people are leaving the state than moving into it. Last year, Illinois had the second largest number of residents migrating to another state in the country. The year before, it had ranked No. 1.The foundation is set on reversing that statistic and giving college graduates jobs they can come back to, as well as a community they will want to live in. "People will travel for a good-paying job ... but just the things you're doing, making sure we're going to have fireworks on Independence Day, to make sure we have things like a new library, and the functions that bring quality of living to the community, as well as support the schools" will bring in new residents and increase the tax base, Woods said.The foundation is relying on the collaboration of all elements of the community, including high schools, colleges and start-up businesses.The foundation has a goal of 200 members and has seen a member investment of $100,000 so far.Woods and Hudson said for the City of Effingham, the annual membership fee would normally be $50,000, but with the personal invitation they extended a $25,000 fee for the first year."We're requesting that you do participate as a full member," Woods said. "We want to make sure that you do have an integral role ... I think the City of Effingham is seen as a leader. We wanted to make sure we had these conversations with you first."Woods assured the council the two seats on the foundation board would be permanent, as long as the city pays its dues, whereas non-municipality seats are filled through an election.Mayor Merv Gillenwater voiced some reservations about the arrangement, even at the one-year reduced membership fee."I think we still have some work to do before I feel comfortable," he said, adding that while he is "absolutely for" the foundation, he thinks a free-trial membership would be the best option for the city.Commissioner Matt Hirtzel disagreed, saying that with a $77 million budget, the city could afford to take a risk, especially since the offer is at a reduced rate."This is an opportunity for Effingham to take the lead, to say we're going to support it," he said. "They're asking for us to lead, and that's what Effingham does ... In my opinion, this is a no-brainer. It's a risk, but the return on this can be so much higher."He pointed out that with rising insurance and pension costs for the city, being proactive would benefit the city the most."They practically had me at, 'Hello,'" added Commissioner Alan Harris. "I share some of Merv's concerns, but I don't think they're deal-killing concerns. This is an opportunity we cannot let go."Commissioner Brian Milleville favored the membership, while Commissioner Don Althoff also expressed concerns about the fee.

|Al Capone's car at area dealership
|Monday, November 19, 2012 10:51 AM
The Auburn factory sent out the serial numbers of some stolen vehicles to Pennell's, Van Wert dealership. A few days later, two men came to Pennell's dealership with a car that matched the description of one of the vehicles. The car had a defective starter and Pennell knew it was to be repaired under warranty.
"As soon as the men left, Pennell rolled back the floor mat to check the serial number on the body. At that time he noticed there was clearly burnt into the wooden floor boards, 'Property of Al Capone.' Then he called the factory to report what he found with the serial numbers matching the telegram. Later the factory telegraphed back notifying him not to worry about it and fix the car under warranty."
When the men returned for the car, Pennell told them the repairs had been made under warranty and no reimbursement was needed. The men gave Pennell $20 and left.
During the time he operated the dealership, Pennell would make frequent trips to the Auburn Automobile Co. He tried to make his trips around lunchtime so that he could lunch with the company executives — perhaps E.L. Cord — at Tom Proctor's restaurant (now Auburn Marine and Tackle).
Pennell would find out information about cars that were being developed and techniques used in manufacturing the cars.
Pennell would visit Auburn at the end of the model year and purchase excess bodies, parts and materials that were left over. Then he would buy wrecked vehicles and assemble various cars in his shop. Over the years, Pennell created some non-standard vehicles.
Pennell's dealership provided the Auburn Limousines used by the Greenville-Dayton Transportation Co. for an east-west passenger route between Lima, Delphos, Van Wert and Ft. Wayne. The service also carried mail and small packages.
The bus service was owned by brothers Lasko and Kelton Mitchell. It replaced the Inter-Urban line that went defunct in 1932 and the schedule was identical to the former Inter-urban timetable.
Pennell worked as superintendent of maintenance for the service from February 1933 to March 1934. The service's chief mechanic was Jigger Johnson, who won the Indianapolis 500 in 1931 and 1937 as a riding mechanic. The service ran with Auburn until 1936, when it was replaced with buses.
In 1934, Pennell established the Lima-Defiance-Bryan Bus line using Auburn and Cord automobiles. The service again paralleled the route of the Inter-Urban line.
Pennell later changed the name of the service to the Ohio Northern Coach Line, which originated in Van Wert and traveled to Jackson, Mich. The service paralleled the Cincinnati Northern Railroad Lines that had petitioned the Public Utilities Commission to stop service.
The Ohio Northern line used Auburns and front-wheel-drive Cords. Kirchenbauer has a photograph that appears to show a L-29 Cord chassis with an Auburn body. A similar eight door stretch limousine with a Cord chassis and Auburn body was found in Michigan.
Delphos Mfg. Co. to
H.L. Leilich, manager of the Delphos Mfg. Co., of Delphos, Ohio, paid our town a visit of inspection. He bought part of the Robertson lands on which he and other parties interested with him hold an option. Mr. Leilich expressed himself well pleased with our town and shipping facilities and there may be a chance that he might be wanting to put a branch of their large factory here. Here is hoping that he may decide in our favor.
When interviewed relative to the above clipping, manager H.L. Leilich, stated that it was true; that he and others had bought 30 acres of land at Knox, Ind., 60 miles from Chicago, where the galvanizing department of the Delphos plant will be located, and a part of the can making machinery will also be moved. This will decrease the number of the working force here, now at 322. A union will be made with an eastern graniteware, tinware, tub and pail manufactory, which will also be located at Knox, and Chicago will be made the central shipping point for sheet metal and finished products.
Manager Leilich stated that while the addition to the galvanized department, now under construction, will be used for another purpose than that originally intended.
The office building will be erected, for which a contract has been given. He stated that there were three reasons for the establishment of a branch plant at Knox, instead of maintaining the entire plant here, and bringing the graniteware manufactory to Delphos, which would mean that the force of employes would be doubled. The company is unable to procure more land near their present plant, which will be absolutely necessary if the entire plant was retained here. Inability to get a switch from the Northern Ohio track to the factory grounds is another reason, and the third is the large saving that will accrue to the company by making Chicago a central shipping point.
This state of affairs is to be deplored. This magnificent institution, so valuable to Delphos as a means of affording employment, is of more real benefit to this town than many people realize, and that further building, beyond now, is a severe blow.
Worked on German Guns
The Lincoln Highway Dairy company will move to the new location, which has been prepared for the plant on East Second street, the early part of next week. They will occupy the building in which the Delphos Creamerywas formerly located.
The building has been completely remodeled and the entire interior repainted. A large cooler has been built in. Machinery for the Pasteurizing, filtering and handling and cooling milk in a modern way has been installed.
Boxes of Handkerchiefs
While Mat. Tornefeld, living about four miles west of Delphos, was working in his oatsfield, he found hidden in the oatsfield, fully two hundred boxes of handkerchiefs, each box marked to retail for one dollar. Mr. Tornefeld suspected that this crop had been "planted" on his place for a purpose and he called up the Delphos police who, with detective Allen of the Pennsylvania railroad, made a trip to the place.
A large packing case filled with the handkerchiefs had been taken from a car on the Pennsylvania and carried under a cement culvert where they were removed from the case and carried into the oatsfield for concealment.
The handkerchiefs were brought to Delphos Friday night and taken to the Penna. station to be shipped to a firm in Chicago to whom they had originally been consigned from a New York concern.
Although no arrests have yet been made the police have a clue which may lead to the arrest of the guilty parties.
Accident at Roth
The machine necessarily requires rapid running, and a 45-inch pulley on the shaft overhead furnishes almost lightning-like momentum to the small pulley of a 4-inch belt. Frank and Joseph Roth, two members of the firm, were standing beside a trough at the sausage stuffing machine and John Roth Jr., was working near the rendering kettles only a few feet away.
There were several other men working in the room at the time, when without warning the large wooden pulley on the ceiling shaft, bursted and the pieces were hurled to the floor. One large piece weighing perhaps 30 pounds, struck a steam pipe directly over the heads of Messrs. Joe and Frank Roth, which saved them from injury. The pipe was bent double and clouds of steam soon filled the room.
The belt flew around like mad after coming loose from the smaller pulley and would itself around John Roth's neck, throwing him violently to the floor. Everything was pandemonium for a few seconds and after Dr. Brundage was called and found that John had no broken bones. Everyone in the room was nonplussed at their good fortune in escaping alive.

BBQ On The 4th Of July
For me, the smell of charcoal heating on the grill makes it the 4th of July. Even if it's a cold November day where we haven't had snow yet and I'm trying to get one last good grilling in, the aroma takes me to the heart of Summer when we celebrate our country's birthday.
It wasn't just the nation's birthday that we celebrated on July 4th, it was my dad's birthday also. My family only got together and grilled one time each year, and it was on this day.
So that's why the fire of the grill takes me back to great memories. It's been proven that our sense of smell can trigger our memory and in turn our mood immensely.
And that is probably why I grill several time a week. That, plus it just tastes so good.
So what will you grill this 4th of July? According to the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association, the 4th of July is the biggest barbeque day of the year.
Our favorite food to grill in the U.S. is burgers, followed by steak, chicken and hot dogs. Corn is our favorite side dish, with other veggies and potatoes in close pursuit.
And when it comes to which sauce is the boss, Americans prefer hickory flavored, followed by mesquite and honey.
For me, it's going to be a T-bone. My sauce will be my favorite choice. The BBQ sauce made right here in South Dakota is available in our local grocery stores. It's called Ol' West Barbecue Sauce.
Go ahead and get that grill hot. And the right time to get excited is when you here the sizzle!

Employees leaving Cequent Performance Products in Goshen this afternoon say they have been informed that the plant they work in will be closed and work there will be moved to a facility in Reynosa, Mexico.
An official announcement from the company has yet to be made.
The possible announcement caps more than a month of speculation following a recommendation from Cequent's parent company, TriMas Corp. of Bloomfield Hills, Mich to close the Goshen plant.
That recommendation led to employee pickets in recent weeks, as well as shooting and bomb threats at the facility. This morning Goshen police helped guard the plant, which is on the southeast end of Goshen.
The Goshen facility employed approximately 400 people.
Below is the statement that TriMas posted on its website Wednesday that explains its actions about the Goshen plant and other corporation changes.
"TriMas Corporation (NASDAQ: TRS) – a diversified global manufacturer of engineered and applied products – continues its progress and focus on productivity and expanding and optimizing its global manufacturing footprint to better serve its customers.
"Over the past several years, TriMas has launched numerous growth and productivity initiatives across our businesses, with the savings enabling us to fund our growth programs," said Dave Wathen, president and chief executive officer of TriMas. "As a result, we have been establishing several new plants and moving some production locations in order to increase capacity, better support our global customers in new locations, drive productivity and better leverage a more efficient cost structure. All of these investments are designed to enable continuous improvement for our customers and enhance overall TriMas' value."
Major highlights include:
- Adding a specialty dispensing manufacturing plant in Ohio adjacent to a significant customer;
- Opening new branches in the energy business in Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado and Singapore to better support customers' requirements;
- Adding gasket and bolt manufacturing capability in Brazil;
- Opening a state-of-the-art production facility in Arizona to support manufacture of new products awarded by aerospace customers;
- Consolidating two older plants in Australia into a single state-of-the-art manufacturing facility of trailering and towing products for significantly better efficiencies;
- Doubling the capacity of the manufacturing facility in Thailand to better serve increasing demand of global automotive customers; and
- Relocating the manufacturing from the Goshen, Indiana Cequent facility to the existing Cequent facility in Reynosa, Mexico.
Today, the Company announced the future closure of its Cequent Performance Products' facility in Goshen, Indiana. This facility currently manufactures hitches, weight distribution systems, fifth wheels, underbed structures and gooseneck systems, and employs approximately 450 people. Manufacturing operations will be relocated to Cequent Performance Products' existing facility in Reynosa, Mexico. In conjunction with this move, Cequent Performance Products' warehouse in Huntington, Indiana will also close and an existing Cequent facility in Tekonsha, Michigan will serve as a warehouse. The announced transition will take place throughout 2013.
"While these types of decisions are never easy, we make them with significant consideration. We are focused on providing a smooth transition for our customers and remain committed to providing quality product with speed. For those employees affected by the closure, the Company is committed to working with them during this transition," said Wathen.
About TriMas
Headquartered in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, TriMas Corporation (NASDAQ: TRS) provides engineered and applied products for growing markets worldwide. TriMas is organized into six reportable segments: Packaging, Energy, Aerospace & Defense, Engineered Components, Cequent Americas and Cequent Asia Pacific. TriMas has approximately 4,500 employees at more than 60 different facilities in 17 countries. For more information, visit www.trimascorp.com"

Nipomo Visitor Guide
Perhaps most famous as the locale for a poignant photograph of the Great Depression, Nipomo is where Dorothea Lange shot "Migrant Mother," a haunting black-and-white photo of a hungry young mother with two of her seven children. Today, Nipomo – a name derived from the Chumash Indian word meaning "the foot of the hills" – is still a place where lush farms provide work for many, but it is as far from the bleak austerity of that time as it's possible to get.
Consistently sunny, delightfully quaint, Nipomo is where both horses and golf carts are welcomed equally. Nipomo is the southernmost city in the county, and is one of our fastest-growing areas – with good reason. Nestled in the foothills, Nipomo is not densely populated (12,600 at last count), and features acres of lemon and avocado orchards, rolling sand dunes, and thousands of fragrant blue gum eucalyptus trees. Nearby Oso Flaco Lake is contained inside an 18,000-acre, 18-mile shoreline designated as a national natural landmark. A broad, wooden, one-mile boardwalk is perfect for strolling, with more than 50 species of birds for company.
Like most areas of the Central Coast, Nipomo's original inhabitants were the Chumash. But the town of Nipomo didn't come together until a Mexican land grant was deeded to sea captain William G. Dana of Boston. Nipomo grew up around the grand (and now historic landmark) Dana Adobe, built in 1839. Dana's descendants built homes on the rancho and laid out streets to form the town. Soon it became an important stop along what was then El Camino Real, the main route to Los Angeles.
Today, Nipomo is known for its acres of flowers, lush golf courses, peaceful dunes, and perfect climate. In fact, Nipomo has made many national "best climate" lists, receiving perfect 100 scores repeatedly. Cypress Ridge Golf Course is ranked second in the state (only Pebble Beach ranks higher) by golf magazines and professionals. Nipomo is also the home of one of the best swap meets – think "Swap Meet, the Event!" – in the world; and Jocko's Steakhouse, where sizzling steaks with all the trimmings have been serving hungry guests, Western style, for 84 years!
With its wide open spaces, wonderful dunes, and ideal weather, this is very much a family-friendly place. So bring your kids and your golf clubs, but leave your worries behind.
Average daily temps in this sunny inland valley are 70 – 80 in the summer, 50 – 65 in winter. Rainfall is distributed fairly evenly throughout the year, with winter months being wetter than summer ones.
Packing List
This is a true Mediterranean climate, so bring comfortable light layers with one warm jacket, just in case. Comfortable shoes, well-worn jeans, shorts and sandals will be just fine in this casual neck of the woods. Need we remind you to bring your golf clubs?

According to Fox News.com, a U.K. man plans to sue the Salisbury hospital that removed the wrong testicle during surgery to remove a cancerous one, metro.co.uk reported.
The man, whose name has not been identified for privacy reasons, is 48. The doctor realized his mistake about 40 minutes into the surgery – so he froze the healthy one and found a plastic surgeon.
However, the plastic surgeon was not able to reattach the healthy testicle.
Now, the patient is afraid he is infertile and will not be able to have the family he wants.
The man, from Wiltshire, said his attorney has taken the case into her hands.
Salisbury District Hospital admitted the incident happened, and that it has received notification of "pending legal action."

text: Upcoming Summer Movie Stars 2012 The Up-and-Coming Summer Movie Stars We Want to Get to Know by Shannon Vestal 5/27/12 6 Reactions 7 Shares Print 0 4 3 0 0 We're excited about all the Summer movies coming out in the next few months, and it's not just so we can see all our crushes on the big screen. There are lots of movies featuring faces that are currently on the rise, and I have my eye on them — from actors who have recently started making a splash to those I've been rooting for for a while. Here's your guide to the Summer movie stars you need to know. Tom Hiddleston in The Avengers What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The role: Loki, the villain facing off against all of the Avengers. Where you've seen him before: In last Summer's Thor originating his role as Loki, and as F. Scott Fitzgerald in Midnight in Paris. Why we like him: The Avengers may be chock-full of hot superheroes, but Hiddleston steals tons of scenes as Thor's bad-boy brother. Photo courtesy of Disney 1 / 9 Alice Eve in Men in Black III What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The role: Agent O, the younger version of Emma Thompson's character. Where you've seen her before: Romancing Jay Baruchel in She's Out of My League and having her own white T-shirt contest in Sex and the City 2. Why we like her: We've had a girl crush on the British beauty since Starter For 10, and we liked her even more when she puts Vinnie Chase in his place in the final season of Entourage. Photo courtesy of Sony Pictures 2 / 9 Sam Claflin in Snow White and The Huntsman What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The role: Prince William, the man destined to give Snow White a life-giving kiss. Where you've seen him before: In last Summer's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides as a missionary smitten with a mermaid. Why we like him: Chris Hemsworth's character may be in the title, but we're curious to see how the prince fits in with all the action. Oh, and did you notice that Claflin is smokin' hot? Photo courtesy of Universal Pictures 3 / 9 Mark Duplass in Safety Not Guaranteed What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The role: Kenneth, a man seeking a partner to time travel with. Where you've seen him before: The indie filmmaker has popped up in his own films like The Puffy Chair, and he plays Pete on FX comedy The League. Why we like him: There's just something about Mark, whether it's his charming but filthy mouth on The League or how talented (and busy!) he is. This year alone, he wrote and directed Jeff, Who Lives at Home, and along with a slew of supporting roles, he's also the subject of a love triangle in Your Sister's Sister. If you need more convincing, just watch the Safety Not Guaranteed trailer. Photo courtesy of Film District 4 / 9 Cody Horn in Magic Mike What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The role: Paige, the love interest of title character and stripper Magic Mike (Channing Tatum). Where you've seen her before: As Jordan, Deangelo Vickers's assistant on The Office. Why we like her: We imagine it'd be tough to keep a straight face opposite the oft-shirtless dreamboat Tatum, but Horn seems to hold her own against — and even resist! — him in the trailer. Color us impressed. 6 / 9 Benjamin Walker in Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The role: 16th President of the United States, Abe Lincoln — but reimagined as a vampire slayer. Where you've seen him before: In the Oscar-nominated Clint Eastwood film Flags of Our Fathers. Why we like him: We haven't seen Walker in much, but his ax-wielding, leaping-through-the-air badass turn in the Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter trailer commanded our attention like few recent trailers have. Photo courtesy of 20th Century Fox 6 / 9 Diego Boneta in Rock of Ages What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The role: Drew Boley, the busboy with big dreams to become a rock star. Where you've seen him before: As Alex in season one of Pretty Little Liars and as Javier on 90210. Why we like him: Boneta shows off sweet dance moves in his stint on Pretty Little Liars, reassuring us that he'll be able to hold his own in on the beloved musical. Check him out in the Rock of Ages trailer. Photo courtesy of Warner Bros. 7 / 9 Eva Green in Dark Shadows What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The role: The witch Angelique who turns Johhny Depp into a vampire. Where you've seen her before: As James Bond's ill-fated love Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale. Why we like her: The French beauty is well-versed in playing the femme fatale, but in Tim Burton's spooky comedy, it looks like she gets to be funny too. Photo courtesy of Warner Bros. 8 / 9 Richard Ayoade in Neighborhood Watch What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The role: Jamarcus, a member of a crack neighborhood watch team. Where you've seen him before: You may not have — Ayoade spends a lot of time behind the camera as a director and writer, but if you've ever seen cult British TV show The IT Crowd, you may recognize him as Moss. Why we like him: Neighborhood Watch stars Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, and Jonah Hill — and Ayoade. He's the fourth member of a group of established comedy stars, so if he's in their company, he must be bringing something big to the table. 9 / 9 0 4 3 0 0 Read More Magic MikeSnow White And The HuntsmanThe AvengersDark ShadowsSummerMovies summer Your Search For the Perfect Cherry Pie Is Over 4 hours ago Beyond Spaghetti: 10 Things to Do With Pesto 5 hours ago 10 DIY Snacks For the Road (and 10 Alternatives For on the Run) 21 hours ago Just Grill It! 6 Unexpected Foods to Throw on the 'Cue 1 day ago 6 US Planetariums Worth Planning a Trip Around 1 day ago Don't Make This Sparkling Blueberry Mojito If You Hate Compliments 1 day ago Get a Personalized Celebrity & Entertainment Newsletter!

Huge tree uprooted on Putney Common
Updated 12:11pm Thursday 31st January 2013 in News
A huge tree has been uprooted on Putney Common after last night's high winds.
The tree, which is at least 30ft high, was situated near the junction of Lower Common South and Willow Farm Lane.
According to the Met Office, UK's National Weather Service, south-westerly winds overnight peaked at 31mph at 7am this morning - gusts reached 46mph.
Fortunately, because it fell during the night, no one appears to have been hurt.
This pales into insignificance, however, compared to the speeds measured in Fair Isle, in the Shetland Isles, which saw wind speeds of 57mph with gusts reaching 86 mph this morning.
The highest recorded gust at a mountain site was 135 mph at Cairngorm Summit, in the eastern Highlands of Scotland.
The Beaufort Scale measures wind speeds as follows:
High winds: 31–38 mph
Gale: 39-46 mph.
Strong gale: 47-54 mph.
Storm: 55-63 mph.
Violent storm: 64-73 mph.
Hurricane: 74 mph upwards

Branch and Hang
<humour> (BRH) Originally a mythical instruction for the IBM 1130 at Indiana University.
Later some real examples were discovered. The Texas Instruments TI-980 allowed all addressing modes with all instructions, including Store Immediate Extended (stores the value into the extension word of the instruction) and Branch and Link Immediate (makes a subroutine call to the same instruction -- Branch and Hang).
Compare HCF.

SUSSEX COUNTY, Del. - Emergency officials in Delaware are preparing for the storm, and warning residents about possible coastal flooding.
During October's storm, Sussex County residents in Oak Orchard saw severe flooding in some areas. Officials are now saying flooding with this storm, is expected to be comparable to that of Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Irene.
"What we're asking people, is that they need to be cognoscente of the forecast, and now is the time to get out harms way and move to higher ground," said Joseph Thomas, Director of Sussex County Emergency Operations.
Officials also say residents living in bay communities in Kent county, should also leave those areas, before the rain and high winds make road conditions more difficult.

During my 30 years as a carpenter, I have framed several hundred complicated roofs, and have read nearly every book on the subject. A particularly good one is The Steel Square, by H.H. Siegele, which uses drawing techniques rather than advanced math to illustrate complex rafter cuts.
I began using these drawing techniques because I wanted to better understand the geometry of roof planes. Not only did these methods help me grasp the way complex roofs fit together, but they also increased my cutting speed — and have been excellent teaching tools to boot.
In this article, I'll show how I use this technique to develop the basic cuts for an irregular hip. The method explained here is accurate for concealed 2-by roof framing. Where accuracy is more critical — as in the timber-frame homes we build, where a half-degree error on an 8/12 timber valley really shows — I also use basic trigonometry, but that's another story.
When teaching framing to novice carpenters, the author uses a simple cardboard model to help them "think in triangles."
This method helps you think of a roof in terms of its component triangles and how they relate to each other. All the triangles that make up the roof are drawn on a flat surface. Think of the horizontal leg of each triangle — the run — as a hinge. Once the drawing is complete, the triangles can be mentally rotated on their hinges to form a three-dimensional model of the roof. When I teach this method, I use a cardboard model as a visual aid to show how each part of the roof relates to the others. Mastering the technique takes time — I'm still learning — but the basics can be grasped quite easily.
I usually make my drawings on a piece of plywood, using the 12ths scale on the framing square. This makes sense on the job site, and lets me draw the cut angles full-scale. The only special tools I use are a large compass (Lee Valley Tools sells one; 800/267-8735, www.leevalley.com) and an oversized bevel square. The aluminum bevel square in the photos came from Germany, but any large one will work. (Quint Measuring Systems' contractor-grade True Angle Tool is available online in 24-inch and 36-inch lengths; www.quintmeasuring.com.)
The blueprints I'm typically given include only the most basic information about a roof: a plan view, an elevation, and the basic pitches. But this is enough information to develop the drawings, if you follow the correct steps. The easiest method is to break the drawing sequence down into discrete parts, each of which builds on the previous one:
• plan angle for the hip rafter
• common and hip lengths and cut angles
• hip backing angle
• roof surface
The example roof has a 5/12 pitch on the hip end and a 10/12 pitch on the building's long dimension, and the eaves meet at a 90-degree angle. Note that I'm ignoring the overhang and working from the plate line.
To get started, you first have to accurately draw the angle at which the hip rafter intersects the eaves at the corner. I start with an imaginary point on the hip rafter where the rise is 12 inches above the outside of the plate, then determine the run of the common rafters from that point to the plate line. You can do this quickly with a calculator, but I just use a simple table I've printed out.
Rather than dothe math each time, he works from a chart.
A 5/12 common rafter has a run of 28 13/16 inches at 12 inches of rise, while the 10/12 rafter runs 14 3/8 inches. I use these numbers to draw a rectangle, which is the basis for all the drawings to follow. A diagonal across the middle (line BD) represents the hip in plan. If you've drawn accurately, you've already got the side cut angles for the jacks, which you can transfer to the stock with a bevel square.

Have you ever heard of an "honest" thief? If there is such a person, he got about $50,000 using somebody else's information. But, the twist here -- the perpetrator is making payments.
It's not your typical identity theft complaint. But it shows that what you don't know can be devastating.
Jarry Wilson was house hunting and denied a mortgage loan when the bank checked his credit and found several open accounts.
Jarry read his credit report in disbelief and says he's a victim of identity theft. He says someone used his name and credit to go to college.
"This is my name, Jarry Wilson, but who's doing it? I didn't take this loan out," he said.
His credit report lists several student loans as far back as 2009. That's when the first payment was made. There's a $12,700 and $6,000 student loan, all showing payment deferred...and others with a current status and consistent history of paying on time.
The scariest part of being a fraud victim, Jarry says, is waiting for the other shoe to drop.
"They're paying now, but if they stop, that's it. My credit is shot. $52,000 ain't no joke," Jarry said.
The widower and father of two makes a living as a bus driver. The high debt is stopping him from buying a home until the inaccuracies are corrected.

Deer Hunting Forecast
"We're expecting 350 thousand hunters to hit the woods. The deer numbers are good but the mast situation is lower than average. We're expecting the deer to be more concentrated where food sources are available. The deer numbers are there, the hunters are there, it should be a good season."
The chances of you having a good season will increase dramatically if you do some scouting. Miles says this year, more than most, you need to go find a spot where you see food for the deer because they'll be more concentrated around those areas than they usually are.
"They need to burn up some shoe leather, get out and try to find those available food sources, fields, the soft mast did do alright this year, persimmon, cherry, but the acorns suffered so look for other food sources other than acorns." says Miles.
While the mast didn't do too well, this has been a great year for hunters even before they hit the woods. Changes in the regulations make things very attractive for those of you who decide to buy extra stamps. And by the way, the last day to buy your extra stamps is the 24th.
"The regulations this year, you're now able to kill two deer in one day prior to checking in. The hunter can kill two deer as long as one is an antler-less deer. We're also offering, in some counties, a concurrent bear gun season with the buck season. Ssome counties require permits so check the regulations prior to doing that. They are a lot more hunter friendly regulations." says Miles.
And remember, let folks know where you'll be hunting, were your blaze orange, be safe and have fun. I'll see you at the check station.

New Neighbor: EXKi
EXKi, a restaurant "providing exquisite recipes focusing on seasonal vegetables in an environment of respect for people and nature," brings their European approach to quick and casual dining to the Flatiron District. The name of the restaurant is a play on the French word "exquis," which means "exquisite."
The concept was formed during a 1999 reunion of three former Belgian classmates: Fréderic Rouvez, Nicolas Steisel, and Arnaud de Meeus. These world travelers shared a passion for high-quality fresh food, but many times were forced to sacrifice freshness and quality to enjoy a quick meal. Their idea was simple: create a quick-casual restaurant using only fresh and natural ingredients.
In 2001, the first EXKi restaurant opened in Brussels. The restaurant's immediate success led to the opening of additional restaurants in Brussels, Antwerp, Paris, Milan, and Luxembourg. Today, there are 78 EXKi restaurants around the world, including the first New York City restaurant located on Park Avenue South.
In EXKi's upscale atmosphere with the convenience and transparency of a quick and casual restaurant, you can find an array of options on their menu, such as Just 3 Guys home baked baguettes with tomato, mozzarella, olive tapenade, and basil; Vermont Yard ciabatta with Vermont goat cheese, edamame hummus, organic mesclun, baby spinach, and honey; Fig-Essentials salad with penne, domestic prosciutto, figs, artichoke, zucchini, baby arugula, and mozzarella; and daily creations of savory tarts.
Hours are Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
EXKi, 257 Park Avenue South, between 20th and 21st Streets, (929) 236-3954.
BID Program Spotlight: "Guardians of Flatiron," the BID's Public Safety Team
With Guardians of the Galaxy atop the movie box office this summer, it seems appropriate to bring some well-deserved attention to those who help keep us safe in the Flatiron District, otherwise known as the BID's Public Safety Team.
Sergio Gonzalez, the lead supervisor of the team, says, "My wife calls me a superhero because if someone is in trouble in Flatiron, I try to help them out." Donning a stately security uniform, the officers not only address a range of quality-of-life issues, but they also lend a hand to anyone who needs it. For instance, every day Sergio helps people who are blind, or can't move quickly, get safely across one of the many busy streets in the area, adding, "The uniform helps!" While the officers have no special powers, these small instances of providing personalized assistance to those in need add up to make a safer and more cohesive community.
The team is comprised of seven Public Safety Officers (PSOs) that work every day of the week, year-round. Sergio instructs them to be alert and proactive as they patrol the Flatiron District, and to look for people who may be experiencing a problem even before they ask. There are a high number of tourists who visit the Flatiron District every day, and getting lost is commonplace. A primary role of the Public Safety Officers is to serve as ambassadors, and give people directions to subways, bus stops, and even Madison Square Garden which, to the surprise of many, is not next to Madison Square Park! When asked about his favorite part of the job, Alexander George, a four-year veteran of the team, said, "I like helping the tourists – I don't like seeing people lost." Seconds after saying this, two tourists approached and asked him to take their picture in front of the Flatiron Building, to which he amicably replied, "Of course!"
Not every situation is as simple as giving directions or snapping a photo. Michael Black, who has been a Public Safety Officer since 2009, spoke to some of the more serious incidents of the past year. He recounts with pride the way the team responded to an automobile accident near 23rd Street and 5th Avenue, and the effort to help the driver of the van exit before the vehicle burst into flames, an incident in which Wilson Jimenez of the Sanitation Team also played an integral role. Additionally, Michael recently responded to a situation where a man suffered a seizure near the Flatiron Building, and he was able to successfully keep the situation calm until medical personnel arrived.
The Public Safety Officers are trained to respond to emergencies, but thankfully that's not a part of the daily routine. Each day the team interacts with store and building managers, and addresses a range of quality-of-life issues. They survey street conditions, report garbage accumulation, note graffiti and illegal flyer placements, and submit various other violations to 311. Much of this information is then communicated to the BID's Sanitation Team, or the appropriate city agency, so the condition can be expediently fixed. The team also addresses issues such as panhandling, cyclists riding on sidewalks, and smoking in the Public Plazas.
Hopefully next time you're out, you'll notice the good work being done by the Public Safety Officers. They're not saving the world, but they are guarding the Flatiron District, and making it a better place to live, work and visit! The Public Safety Team is contracted through ABM Security Services, and overseen by the BID's Director of Operations, Scott Kimmins.

NYPD's Operation Safe Cycle
The New York City Police Department has announced Operation Safe Cycle, a two-week bicycle safety enforcement initiative. The operation begins Wednesday, August 13, 2014 and concludes Tuesday, August 26, 2014.
Bicycling in New York City can be a fantastic experience, but safety should always be a cyclist's priority. The NYPD wants to help ensure the well-being of cyclists and the security of their bicycles.
The initiative will target the following hazardous violations that create a danger for pedestrians and bicyclists: failure to stop at a red light, disobey a traffic signal or sign, riding the wrong direction against traffic, riding on the sidewalk, and failure to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk. An additional focus will be given to motorists who obstruct bicycle lanes, which creates a hazardous condition for bicyclists.
As per the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law, bicyclists are granted all of the rights and are subject to all the duties of a motor-vehicle operator. Furthermore, the New York City Traffic Rules are also applicable to bicycles.

Post-doctoral fellowship bolsters collaboration with Brazilian university
By Mark Kerr, Senior Communications Officer
Julia van Drunen (PhD'13) can't wait to escape the miserable winter weather and head south to São Carlos, Brazil, in two weeks. The trip is more business than pleasure, though, as Dr. van Drunen begins her post-doctoral fellowship at the Universidade de São Paulo (USP).
Dr. van Drunen will spend the next two years conducting research in Germano Tremiliosi-Filho's laboratory. Her project focuses on turning biomass and biomass waste products into valuable chemicals and electrical energy using electrochemical conversion.
"Dr. Tremiliosi-Filho's research group is really good and the facilities are incredible," says Dr. van Drunen. "Also, I think it's a good time to go to Brazil for research because the country's economy – and the biofuel industry – is booming."
Dr. Tremiliosi-Filho has collaborated with Dr. van Drunen's PhD supervisor at Queen's, Gregory Jerkiewicz, for many years. Dr. van Drunen met Dr. Tremiliosi-Filho early in her graduate studies and decided to approach him for her post-doctoral work. He helped her secure a prestigious post-doctoral fellowship from the state of São Paulo, the equivalent of a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada post-doctoral fellowship.
Canada and Brazil generate large amounts of biomass that often remain untreated and contribute to environmental pollution. When converting sugarcane to bioethanol, one of the main waste products is lignin. Currently, lignin is usually burned for heat which is then used for energy. Dr. van Drunen has proposed using electrochemical methods to break down the lignin into valuable biochemical products. She admits it's a tall order because lignin is a complicated molecule. However, she is hopeful her research will yield positive results given the Brazilian research group's expertise in transforming organic molecules using electrocatalysis.
Dr. Jerkiewicz and Dr. Tremiliosi-Filho are laying the foundation for collaborative research between Queen's and USP.
"Projects such as this require not only bright ideas and research funding but also talented, dedicated and hard-working researchers. Dr. van Drunen possesses all these qualities and is ideally suited to initiate this collaborative effort," says Dr. Jerkiewicz.
Dr. van Drunen is busy preparing to leave for Brazil on Feb. 24. She isn't overly worried about the language barrier because Dr. Tremiliosi-Filho converses well in English. She and the Brazilian students speak some French because of their research connections with the Electrocatalysis Laboratory at the Université de Poitiers, France. Dr. van Drunen went on an exchange to that institution in 2010-11. She also took the Portuguese language course offered by the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures.
"The instructor is really good and I learned quite a bit. I got some basics of the language. I can't have a conversation but I can read a little like the menu at a restaurant," she says. "I would tell students that if they are going to Brazil to make the effort to take the class."

Despite a sold-out crowd at Coolray Field last April, the Atlanta Braves won't return to Gwinnett for an encore in 2013.
The major league team, which played an exhibition game vs. its "Future Stars" as a warmup for the 2012 season, will do the same in Mississippi this year. On Saturday, March 30, Atlanta will take on its minor-league stars in Pearl, Miss., home of the Class AA Mississippi Braves.
In the 2012 game, the Future Stars were managed by former Atlanta manager Bobby Cox. .
Gwinnett Braves spokesperson Dave Lezotte said Friday (January 4) that he has been told that the Future Stars game will return to Coolray "in the near future."
Of course, some Gwinnett Braves players could be participating in the 2013 Future Stars game in Mississippi.
The G-Braves will begin their fifth season at Coolray Field on April 4.
