JONESBORO, AR (KAIT & AP) - Auburn University has officially announced that Gus Malzhan will be the next head football coach for the Tigers.
Malzhan is set to appear at a team press conference at 8pm at the Athletics Complex Rane Room at Auburn.
"I'm grateful for the opportunity to become the head football coach at Auburn University. It's an outstanding institution with a storied football program that I had the pleasure of experiencing first-hand for three years," Malzahn said. "I deeply appreciate the confidence that Dr. Gogue, Jay Jacobs and the search committee had in my ability to turn this program around and to bring Auburn back to national prominence. This is a homecoming for me and I look forward to being reunited with the Auburn family."
"We are tremendously excited that Gus Malzahn will be our next head football coach," Director of Athletics Jay Jacobs said. "Coach Malzahn was the clear unanimous choice of our search committee, and I am pleased that Dr. Gogue has accepted our recommendation. This is a great day for Auburn football and Auburn University."
Jacobs said the committee was impressed by Malzahn's outstanding track record as a coach at every level he has coached.
"Gus Malzahn is a proven winner," Jacobs said. "He is without question one of the brightest minds in college football and he has won everywhere he has been. Coach Malzahn knows what it takes to build a championship program in the Southeastern Conference. He knows our state and region and he understands what it will take to turn our program around. Coach Malzahn will also be an outstanding ambassador for Auburn University, and that was important to the committee."
Malzahn lead the Red Wolves to a 9 - 3 record in his one year at Arkansas State. He was formerly the offensive coordinator at Auburn from 2008 - 2011.
According to ASU, Malzahn will coach the team in the January 6th GoDaddy.com Bowl in Mobile, AL.
Several Red Wolves players have taken to Twitter to express their thoughts on Malzhan leaving for Auburn:
Amos Draper- ain't no loyalty when it comes to money. Also said that first game next year.
Anthony Kincy- did y'all forget that ASU is scheduled to play Auburn this upcoming season?
RJ Fleming- We going to Auburn and taking that W! Earl Lucas- Every year since freshman year ASU has had a different head coach.
Dr. Tim Hudson, chancellor of Arkansas State University, and Terry Mohajir, director of athletics, issued the following statement today regarding the football program:
"Coach Gus Malzahn informed us this afternoon that he would be accepting the head coaching position at Auburn University," ASU Chancellor Dr. Tim Hudson said. "We appreciate his contributions to our conference championship season and wish him well."
Hudson said he, Athletics Director Terry Mohajir and ASU System President Dr. Charles L. Welch will begin an immediate search for Malzahn's successor.
"The back-to-back championships in the Sun Belt Conference make this a very attractive position, and we're confident we'll have a lot of interest," Mohajir said. "This administration, this community and the entire Arkansas State family have demonstrated our commitment to have a nationally prominent intercollegiate athletics program and will continue to do so."
Mohajir said he and Malzahn would be meeting to discuss the transition, "keeping the interests of our student-athletes foremost in mind." The plan at this time, Mohajir said, is for Malzahn and his staff to coach the Red Wolves in the GoDaddy.com Bowl on Jan. 6 against Kent State in Mobile, Ala.
"We remain firmly committed to our facilities upgrade plans," Welch said. "We owe this to our student-athletes and fans, and we remain excited about the opportunities ahead for the Red Wolves."
Chizik was fired last month after the Tigers finished with a 3-9 record two years after winning the national championship.
Malzan, who came to Auburn in 2009, was the offensive coordinator during Auburn's 14-0 run to the national championship in 2010.
The Tigers set multiple school offensive records and QB Cam Newton won the Heisman Trophy.
Malzahn left AU in December 2011 to become head coach at Arkansas State, where he directed the Red Wolves to the 2012 Sun Belt Conference championship and a berth in GoDaddy.com Bowl.
Malzahn previously served as offensive coordinator for Houston Nutt at Arkansas, joining the Razorbacks staff in 2006.
That first season he produced one of the nation's most prolific offenses and helped Arkansas to the SEC Championship Game.
He left Arkansas for Tulsa in 2007, where his offense was first in the NCAA for two seasons before he came to Auburn to join Chizik's first staff.
He was a successful high school coach in his home state of Arkansas before entering the college coaching ranks.

Below is the full announcement released by Auburn University:
AUBURN—Gus Malzahn, who served as Auburn's offensive coordinator from 2009-11, has been named the program's head football coach, Director of Athletics Jay Jacobs announced Tuesday. Malzahn, who won the Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant coach in 2010 while helping the Tigers to the BCS National Championship, spent the past season as the head coach at Arkansas State, where he led the program to the Sun Belt Conference title.
Known for his innovative offensive style, Malzahn has made a profound impact during each of his coaching stops at the collegiate level at Arkansas State, Auburn, Tulsa and Arkansas.
This season at Arkansas State, Malzahn led the Red Wolves to a 9-3 record and 7-1 conference mark, including a current seven-game winning streak. They defeated Middle Tennessee, 45-0, on Dec. 1 to claim the Sun Belt championship and a berth in the GoDaddy.com Bowl on Jan. 6.
"It's a pleasure to welcome Gus back to Auburn, this time as our head football coach," Auburn University President Jay Gogue said. "We owe the search committee our gratitude for their time, expertise and dedication to Auburn. They are each distinguished graduates of this great institution and I'm grateful for their ongoing commitment. I appreciate them working so closely with Jay Jacobs as a team—a very good team."
A native of Fort Smith, Ark., Malzahn becomes the 26th head football coach in the program's history.
Jacobs thanked the search committee of former letter winner Mac Crawford and Heisman Trophy winners Bo Jackson and Pat Sullivan for their service.
"I want to thank each member of the committee for their tireless effort in helping us find the right man to lead our football program and represent Auburn University," Jacobs said. "They were objective, thorough and thoughtful throughout the entire process. Their one and only agenda was doing what is best for Auburn."
Malzahn's ASU offense is in the top 25 nationally in nearly every offensive category, ranking 17th in total offense (481.8 ypg) and 21st in scoring offense (36.4 ppg) and rushing offense (217.4 ypg). Led by record-setting quarterback Ryan Aplin, the Red Wolves' offense was 13th nationally in passing efficiency (155.39 rating) and averaged 217.4 yards per game passing.
Malzahn made an immediate impact during his tenure at Auburn, highlighted by a record-setting offense in 2010 when the Tigers finished 14-0 and claimed the school's first national championship since 1957. The Auburn offense set nine school records, including points in a season (577), points per game (41.2), total yards (6,989), total offense (499.2), rushing yards (3,987), rushing touchdowns (41) and passing touchdowns (31). Malzahn's record-setting offense in 2010 led the Southeastern Conference and finished in the top 10 nationally in six statistical categories.
He coached Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton during the Tigers' run to the 2011 BCS National Championship. Under Malzahn's direction, Newton later became the overall No. 1 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft after producing one of the best single-season quarterback performances in collegiate history.
He helped lead the Tigers to an 8-5 record in 2011, which included a victory in the Chik-fil-A Bowl. The Malzahn-led Auburn offense had four players named to the All-SEC Team.
Malzahn's arrival in 2009 and style of offense marked a drastic turnaround from the 2008 season when Auburn struggled offensively. In a two-year period, the Tigers improved from a tie for 110th to seventh in the nation in scoring offense (from 17.3 to 41.2) and from 104th to seventh in total offense. It also took Auburn just six games in 2009 to score more points than it did in all 12 games in 2008.
Before coaching at Auburn, Malzahn spent two seasons at Tulsa, coordinating a Golden Hurricane offense that finished first nationally in total offense in 2007 and 2008. Tulsa's offense in 2007 established nine team school records and 12 individual records. The Hurricane also set nine Conference USA team records, while Tulsa quarterback Paul Smith broke an NCAA record by throwing for at least 300 yards in 14 consecutive games.
Prior to his time at Tulsa, he coached one season at Arkansas, where he served as offensive coordinator, coached Heisman Trophy runner-up Darren McFadden and helped the Razorbacks finish fourth nationally in rushing offense at 228.5 yards per game. Two of Malzahn's first three collegiate offenses ranked in the top 10 nationally in rushing, including the 2008 Tulsa team and 2006 Arkansas squad.
Malzahn, 47, is married to the former Kristi Otwell and they are the parents of two daughters, Kylie (23) and Kenzie (20).

The best way for corporations to embrace virtualization is by adopting the technology gradually, taking "baby steps" until the concept is well understood internally, according to a systems engineer at a leading U.S. insurance company.
Virtualization enables companies to cut down on the number of the computers they use by allowing each of machine to function as a number of virtual machines running different operating systems. Although the technology has already been widely adopted, users can still struggle with the idea of their physical server becoming virtualized, according to Jeff Hunter, a consultant and systems engineer with Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. in Columbus, Ohio.
"It's easier to take baby steps and get started," he said Monday. "People don't always get it. It takes time to grasp the concept." Hunter was speaking during an event to launch virtualization software vendor VMware Inc.'s VMware Infrastructure 3 (VI3) suite in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
He pointed to Nationwide's own experience with server virtualization.
The insurance and financial services organization, which handles 16 million policies, started dabbling in the technology in 2002, using VMware's Workstation and GSX Server virtualization software for testing and development, he said. Two years later, Nationwide took on additional VMware software, including ESX Server, VirtualCenter management software and the VMotion tool, which facilitates moving up-and-running virtual machines from one server to another.
Currently, Nationwide has deployed more than 475 virtual machines. However, this only represents around 10 percent of the company's total servers, Hunter said. He hopes to have 1,000 virtual machines in place by year-end.
About 32 percent of the 475 virtual machines are operating in Nationwide's production environment running applications, including Citrix, Hyperion, Lotus and PeopleSoft as well as domain controls and file and print services. The other 68 percent of the virtual machines are used by Nationwide for testing, development and disaster recovery. The company has a proof-of-concept or laboratory environment where users can "test drive" virtual machines, Hunter said. "It's like a playground for them, more or less," he added, designed to boost users' comfort level with virtualization.
Nationwide conducted a return on investment and total cost of ownership survey to quantify savings from adopting server virtualization over the first half of 2005, Hunter said. The company estimated it saved more than US$488,000 in hardware costs, with virtualization enabling a 12-to-1 rate for server consolidation as well as saving $302,000 in operational costs, including lower cooling and power bills. For each virtual machine deployed, Nationwide saved an estimated $2,250, he added. Using virtualization also boosted server utilization from between 5 percent and 10 percent, up to 60 percent to 70 percent using VMware's ESX Server software.
The survey was carried out when the bulk of Nationwide's servers had two CPUs (central processing units) and the company was using local storage. Hunter expects those numbers would now be "dramatically different," given that the company uses many four-CPU servers and has consolidated its storage. He also believes the current rate of server consolidation will be more like 20 to 1 than last year's 12 to 1.

We've been fighting cabin fever BIG time. I try to stay armed with activities to fight the "but, Mom, I'm BOOOOOOOOOOORED!" attacks and these flowers are a perfect way to do just that. They'll keep your kids occupied for a bit, and bring a little spring to your house.
1. Gather a bunch of scraps of patterned paper, cardstock, construction paper, magazine or catalog pages – whatever you have on hand. You can choose to limit your color scheme to a few colors, or just use a bit of everything.
2. Hand your kids a bunch of Squeeze Punches and have them punch like crazy.
3. Depending on the age of your kids, you might need to cut the larger USX shapes for them. We used circles and stars.
4. Once you have all of your shapes, itís time to start making the flowers. Start by having your child select one large USX shape, one large circle or scalloped circle, and then one of the other punched shapes.
5. Layer them together and punch 2 holes in the middle using the 1/16in hand punch.
6. Have your child select a button or bead for the middle of the flower.
7. Hold all of your layers together with the button or bead on top. Thread your floral wire or pipe cleaner through the bottom, up one hole, across the button and then down the other hole. Twist the wire behind the flower to make sure it doesnít pull loose.
8. Repeat for each flower, and then arrange in a vase.
Various scraps of patterned paper
Cardstock or construction paper
Floral wire or pipecleaners
Buttons or beads

During a special meeting a Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB) representative will present a proposal for the district's superintendent search. At their last meeting, the board accepted a letter of retirement from Superintendent Betty Summers, who will be leaving at the end of the 2012-2013 school year.
The board will also approve the resignation of Linda Coberly, English teacher at Sterling Middle School, and a trip request for three Sterling High School students to present at the American Junior Academy of Science, Feb. 13-17, in Boston.
During a workshop following the special meeting, the board will discuss the superintendent search outline, as well as a possibly changing the board meetings from Mondays to a different day of the week.
There will also be a discussion about the next steps regarding the endorsed diploma. At this point the board is determining how they want to conduct community engagement to inform the public about the state's endorsed diploma and the endorsements the district is looking at, and to get more feedback before deciding if they want to implement them.
Part of the conversation will also focus on the time commitment and/or costs to the district if they decide to implement the endorsed diploma.
Additionally, the board will get information about coloradoschoolgrades.com, and how the website's grades for different schools compare.
Later, the board will do some budget planning, which will include looking at monthly expenses and discussing the community budget meetings they plan to hold at Caliche High School Feb. 25, and SHS March 4.
Plus, they will talk about policies related to the budget and reserves.
The board is also planning to talk about revisions to regulation JII-R, regarding student concerns, complaints and grievances. At their last meeting the board talked about revising the policy so that the appeals process would end with the superintendent, instead of the board. State statute doesn't require appeals to go to the board.

New research recently published in Neuron, co-authored by Drexel's Dr. Jeffery Twiss, is one of the strongest indicators yet of molecular signaling from end to end in peripheral nerve cells. The team's new discoveries may help scientists better understand nerve cells' distress signals and nerve cell repair, so they can eventually control and enhance the process to speed up recovery from nerve injuries.
Many of the world's tropical protected areas are struggling to sustain their biodiversity, according to a study just published in Nature by more than 200 scientists from around the world.

ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia political and business leaders say the state's brand has been gathering dust, and they say a makeover is needed to improve the region's image in order to attract innovative businesses and tourists.
Chris Cummiskey, the head of Georgia's economic development arm, says the state does not have a great brand. He added that the state's image hurts its efforts to attract high-paying research jobs from Silicon Valley or the Research Triangle.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports (http://bit.ly/V2UB9x) that Georgia's marketing budget lags behind those of many other states. Figures from the U.S. Travel Association show the state spent about $2.5 million in fiscal 2011-2012 to promote tourism, among the lowest amounts in the region. Georgia's spending on marketing the state also ranks among the lowest in the region in per-capita spending.

Summer Salon Series 2011: My Barbarian
Sorry, you need to install flash to see this content.
My Barbarian presents a version of The Broke People's Baroque People's Theater, which they originally performed in New York City at The Kitchen. From The Kitchen's press release on this performance: "Evoking an excess of theatrical styles, from Baroque spectacle to camp drag, the piece presents the
absurdities of the American financial crisis as a performance of wastefulness, trashiness and
class warfare...Structured as a play within a game within a play, this performance is an amalgamated découpage of detoured theater texts, ornate musical numbers, and masked interactions. A recital of the
grandeur of excess executed through impoverished means, Broke People's Baroque Peoples'
Theater depicts an encounter between an imagined theater company and an audience. Broke
People's Baroque Peoples' Theater is written and directed by My Barbarian (Malik Gaines, Jade
Gordon and Alexandro Segade). Music is by Gaines and Segade with scenic design and
costumes by Gordon and Segade.

It wasn't always pretty, but No. 6 Wichita State ultimately cruised to a 66-47 win over Missouri Valley foe Illinois State Wednesday night at home.
Ron Baker (11 points) and Cleanthony Early (11 points, six rebounds) each scored in double figures while Fred VanVleet had perhaps the most complete game for Wichita State. His six points, seven rebounds and 10 assists gave the Shockers a boost just about everywhere on the court.
Defensively, the Shockers held Illinois State to 32 shooting and frustrated the Redbirds' two leading scorers all night. Daishon Knight, who came into the game leading Illinois State with 14.2 per game, scored just five points on 2-of-9 shooting. Second-leading scorer Zach Lofton had an even more frustrating night; his eight points came on 3-of-18 shooting.
The win keeps Wichita State unbeaten with a road contest against Missouri State coming up on Saturday.

Georgia State Patrol told CBS Atlanta that 14 people have died so far on Georgia roads this holiday driving season.
As of Wednesday morning, Georgia State Patrol said there were 685 crashes and 300 injuries.
Just hours of the beginning of the holiday travel season, three people died in three separate accidents in north Georgia.
GSP investigators also investigated a fatal accident Friday evening in Barrow County where a head-on crash claimed the life of a Buford, GA, man in Gwinnett County.
Early Saturday morning, troopers investigated a fatal accident in Banks County.
On Christmas Eve, an accident in Smyrna, GA claimed the life of 46-year-old Luca Kosic, of Marietta. Investigators believe weather conditions including extreme dense fog were a contributing factor in this collision.
The Christmas holiday travel period began at 6 p.m. Friday and extends through midnight Tuesday.

This is just what I wanted. It's in my bedroom and it puts the TV up high enough to watch comfortably in bed. It's beautiful and the flames are the best I've seen. It did make a slight humming noise after it was turned off that bothered me, but it seems to have stopped that. It is truly the best looking electric fireplace I've seen and warms up the room very quickly.

Comfort and Safety
By KS caregiver

We bought this for my 90 yr old parents. They LOVE it. The timing was incredible... It arrived in the middle of a major blizzard. My brother quickly set it up just before the furnace went out! Had they not had this as an extra heat source they would have had to leave their home until the furnace guy showed another day. I haven't seen it yet, but they think the wood is beautiful and the flame realistic. The safety of it is a comfort to them... Heat but no mess. The only disappointment was the box said it was made in Vietnam not the USA.

Our Science – Morrison Website
Deborah K. Morrison, Ph.D.
Regulation of Signal Transduction Pathways
The proliferative state of normal cells is precisely regulated by signals received from the extracellular environment. Understanding how these signals are relayed from the cell surface to the nucleus is the major objective of the Cellular Growth Mechanisms Section. Studies in this area are particularly relevant to cancer research because release from regulatory controls at any point along the signaling cascade can result in uncontrolled cell growth or oncogenesis. We have chosen to focus our studies on the pathway regulated by the Ras GTPase, where our aims are to further elucidate the processes involved in signal transduction and to identify critical regulatory points linked to tumor formation.
The transmission of growth and developmental signals from the membrane to the nucleus requires the coordinated action of a diverse set of proteins. Previous work from our laboratory and others has demonstrated that the Raf serine/threonine kinases serve as central intermediates in many signaling pathways, functioning downstream of activated tyrosine kinases and Ras and upstream of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and MAPK kinase (MKK or MEK). A major goal of our research has been to elucidate the mechanisms regulating Raf activity, with a particular emphasis on understanding the role that phosphorylation events and protein interactions play in Raf regulation.
Our laboratory's research efforts have also focused on scaffold proteins involved in signal transduction, such as the kinase suppressor of Ras (KSR) family. KSR was originally identified in Drosophila and C. elegans and is an evolutionarily conserved component of the Ras pathway. Our studies examining the mammalian KSR proteins are directed towards determining the function and regulation of these scaffolds in cell signaling.
Finally, our laboratory has had an ongoing interest in using mass spectrometry to analyze signaling complexes. By taking a proteomics approach, we hope to identify new components involved in Ras-dependent signal transduction.

LONAVALA, India (Nov. 2, 2006) – More than 100 volunteers from the U.S. Navy are helping to build Habitat for Humanity homes during the organization's annual 'Jimmy Carter Work Project' being held this week.
The sailors joined 2,000 volunteers from around the world in building 100 homes with the former first family. The project is an annual Habitat for Humanity build led by former US President and 2002 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn.
"I didn't expect such a large build to be going on when I signed up to volunteer," said one of the participants, Petty Officer First Class Duane Solomon.
The sailors signed up to build during a Mumbai port visit. During previous visits to India, the US Navy has donated medical supplies, sewing machines and books to The Trust of Nanu Nagle School for the Poor and refurbished the Bal Bhavan Children's Center auditorium in Goa, India.
"We are thrilled that these sailors would take time out of their well-earned rest to support Habitat for Humanity in our quest to eliminate the scourge of substandard housing," said Steve Weir, Habitat for Humanity Vice President for the Asia-Pacific region.
The Navy's participation continues the U.S. Government's involvement in Habitat for Humanity's work in the region. Earlier this year, 35 U.S. Consulate volunteers – both Indian and American staff, led by Consul General Michael Owen and his wife, Annerieke, spent four Saturdays working on a 100-house project in the flood-devastated village of Kalyan. Mrs. Owen is also spending this entire week as a Habitat volunteer in Lonavala.
Carter served as a naval officer for seven years and also graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy. The Carters are Habitat's most famous volunteers. Each year since 1984, the Carters have given one week of their time to build homes and raise awareness about the need for simple, decent and affordable housing. Previous JCWP events have been held in New York City, Georgia, Michigan, the Philippines, Hungary, South Korea and South Africa. Habitat's JCWP 2007 will be in Los Angeles, California.
For more information about Habitat for Humanity's Jimmy Carter Work Project, visit www.habitat.org/jcwp/2006 [1]/.
Major partners include Citigroup, Dow India, Vedanta Resources, Posco India, Whirlpool Corporation, Cisco, HDFC Ltd., Aditya Birla Group and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
About Habitat for Humanity International
Habitat for Humanity International is an ecumenical Christian ministry that welcomes to its work all people dedicated to the cause of eliminating poverty housing. Since its founding in Americus, Ga., in 1976, Habitat has built more than 200,000 houses in nearly 100 countries, providing simple, decent and affordable shelter for more than 1 million people.

Historic Bolton Wanderers dugout seats from Reebok Stadium up for sale as club rebrands
Updated 12:30pm Thursday 26th June 2014 in Sport By Liam Thorp, Reporter
WANDERERS fans can pick up a piece of club history by purchasing a dugout seat with the old Reebok logo on.
The Whites' ground, which was opened as the Reebok Stadium in 1997, is changing its name and will be re-branded as the Macron Stadium from July 1.
The club announced a sponsorship deal with the Italian sportswear company in April, ending a 17 year association with Reebok.
The Reebok logo and seating inside the ground has been replaced to show the emblem of the Italian firm and now the famous dug-out seats with the Reebok logo, installed in 2008, are up for grabs.
A page has been set-up on the Bolton Wanderers Football & Athletic Co Ltd Ebay page where Whites fans are told they can "pick up a piece of Bolton Wanderers History" by buying a Reebok dugout seat.
The description reads: "Embroidered with the club crest, these seats have been subjected to various weather conditions throughout their service at the Reebok and may show some 'wear and tear' — but this further authenticates the product."
The notes go on to suggest that any number of international players and managers may have sat in the chairs including Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and Cristiano Ronaldo as well as Wanderers legends Kevin Davies and Ivan Campo.
Fans are told that they will receive a letter of authentication with each seat and that they must pick up their purchase from the stadium within seven days of the auction's closing day, which falls on June 30 at 9.25pm.
It is also stated that "payment is required immediately" for the famous seats.
There are 17 seats in total up for grabs with current bids ranging from £155 up to £420 — some lots are set to close on Monday evening while others will end on Tuesday.

PSL is the first video projection rental company in the UK and USA to invest in High End Systems' new Catalyst image-manipulation system. Catalyst, winner of five technical awards in 2001-2002, is a dynamic and flexible image manipulation system that turns ordinary video projectors into artistic tools. Based around a revolutionary orbital projection unit, Catalyst offers users a unique new tool that integrates the video and lighting industries. PSL has currently bought three Catalyst systems, two for the UK and one for its US division.
Mick Scullion, head of PSL's lighting division says: "At PSL we aim to offer our clients the latest in equipment and creativity. We have bought Catalyst because it uses the most up-to-date technology to produce a system that can create visual effects never seen before. By having Catalyst we will be able to offer our clients new levels of creativity and flexibility within their shows. All our lighting designers have shown great interest in the product and feel that it will give a new visual dimension to all our live shows, be they corporate events, product launches, or concerts."
PSL is also in the exclusive position of being able to offer clients an in-house graphics and video production facility to complement the Catalyst system. PSL can create hybrid video sequences, 3D animation, and custom-made graphics to clients' specifications that will make any presentation or performance unique.
Janet Smith, managing director of PSL Los Angeles and Nashville says: "We are all very excited at PSL to be able to integrate the Catalyst system with video projection. This will allow us to offer our clients even greater use of video as a creative tool and in turn enhance the production value of our events."
Says Ian Brown, regional sales manager for the UK and Ireland, "We are delighted that PSL has seen the massive potential of the Catalyst system and look forward to a great relationship together."

A Woodbridge man was fatally injured on the evening of Aug. 25 when he attempted to cross Jefferson Davis Highway and stepped in front of a moving 2004 Ford Expedition going north, Prince William County police said.
Police responded to the 13700 block of Jefferson Davis Highway at 8:25 p.m. The driver of the Expedition stayed on scene. The pedestrian, identified as Noel Mejia Ayala, 34, of Woodbridge, was taken to a local hospital, where he later died.
"Alcohol appears to have been a factor on the part of the pedestrian who was attempting to cross the roadway outside of a designated crosswalk," a statement released by the PWC police public information office said.
No one else was injured. The driver of the Expedition was a 40-year-old man from Washington, D.C.

Social Responsibility
The quest for aesthetics and quality is our primary ethical commitment. We stubbornly pursue an utopian goal: we are convinced that a company's ethics are first and foremost bound up with what it creates and how it does so. Beauty and quality are intrinsic values of what we make.
We conceive of aesthetics in broad terms: as culture, creative freedom, space and time for thought, imagination, and emotion. We conceive quality in a profound way: as a careful and attentive vision of the whole and the details, both in the things we make and the relations we enjoy and protect.
From concept to design, from choice of materials to final production, from workplace to lifestyle and in our relations with our employees, our partners, and our public.
It is our privilege to make objects that by their nature are not disposable and will never become obsolete. On the contrary, Moleskine notebooks tend to become the focus of affection, and are designed expressly to be kept and treasured. Our attachment only grows over time, because a Moleskine product is made out of the thoughts and feelings of its owner. Still, it may also be made out of paper and other materials that impact in some way on the environment. Moleskine SpA is actively engaged in taking every precaution possible to help safeguard the health of the environment:
- All Moleskine notebooks are made with acid-free paper, making Moleskine notebooks environmentally friendly products.
- Moleskine SpA is certified FSC (Forest Stewardship Council).
SUPPORT FOR LETTERA27 through the Detour project
Moleskine brand's primary ethical commitment outside of the company involves lettera27, a non-profit foundation working on behalf of a universal right to education and access to knowledge, everywhere on earth and especially in the world's most deprived and underdeveloped areas.
Moleskine provides financial support to the lettera27 foundation principally through Detour , a special project dedicated to culture and creativity, with traveling shows of special notebooks created by artists, writers, architects, designers, and musicians from around the world. These exhibitions have been held in London, New York, Paris, and Berlin, and will be held in Istanbul, Tokyo, and many other cities. An ongoing adventure in creativity that, through the initiatives of myDetour, involves young and as yet unknown talents, and speaks to all the fans of the Moleskine notebooks in the world.
The archive of the many notebooks created for Detour and myDetour, donated by the artists and writers to the foundation, is on permanent display online and constitutes a growing patrimony of beauty, culture, intelligence, and relationships. Its voyage around the world, through the exhibitions organized by Moleskine, is a continual source of opportunities and resources for lettera27.
Just as avant-garde artists of the past, the creative populations of today also need agile tools to create freely while in the streets, in cafés and while travelling. Moleskine shares its heritage with contemporary talent through a global schools network program, supporting students by creating opportunities for the generation, development and sharing of content and ideas. Programs have already taken place in: New York, Milan, Tokyo, Rome, San Francisco, Istanbul, Venice, Shanghai and many other global cities, with organisations such as the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation of Venice and Esterni in Milan (Associazione Culturale Aprile Onlus).

Aegolius funereus
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
Laura Erickson
A small owl of boreal and montane forests, the Boreal Owl is found throughout Alaska and Canada, and across northern Eurasia, as well. It is found in the lower 48 states only in the mountains of the West, in extreme northern Minnesota, and as an occasional winter visitor to the northern states.
Lives in boreal forests with spruce, aspen, poplar, birch, and balsam fir. In mountains of West, found in subalpine forests of fir and spruce.
Small mammals, birds, and insects.
Nests in tree cavity, usually old woodpecker hole. Adds no nesting material. Also uses nest boxes.
Hunts at night from perches.
Widespread and common in boreal forest, but reliable population estimates not available. Considered a "sensitive" species in range in United States outside of Alaska. Relies on mature and dead trees for nesting sites, and so is sensitive to clear cutting.

Thirteen Die On Kentucky Roadways Last Week (Jan. 2 through Jan. 8)
Date of News Release: 01/09/2006
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Preliminary statistics* indicate that 13 people died in 13 separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways from Monday, Jan. 2 through Sunday, Jan. 8.
Of the 13 fatal crashes, preliminary data* indicates alcohol was a suspected factor in five of the crashes and seven of the victims were not wearing seat belts. Two of the victims were riding motorcycles and not wearing helmets. One was a pedestrian.
Single fatality crashes occurred in Clinton, Daviess, Franklin, Hancock, Hardin, Harrison, Jefferson, Knott, Leslie, Montgomery, Whitley, Wolfe and Woodford counties.
Through Jan. 8, 2006, a total of 14* people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways. This is 11 fewer than reported for this time period in 2005. Seven of these 14 fatalities were not wearing seat belts.
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.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Alpine climbing can rarely be described as being "fun" in a traditional sense of the word. Maybe Type 2 fun, or retrospective fun if you're of a particular disposition. Catch this route on a nice sunny day and you'll find an exception to the rule.
Descend the route by making one short rappel to the notch just north of the summit spire of The Foil. From there, make two long rappels to the east into a gully. Descend the gully back to the base of the route. One short rappel may be necessary depending on the snowpack.
Stoppers and cams to a #3 Camalot, a #11 hex, and a few pins. A single aider is handy if you plan on climbing to the summit of The Foil in your clunky mountaineering boots.
