The meeting in Grand Forks began with some controversy. Board Member Kari Reichert wanted to amend the meeting agenda to include the item: "Executive Management Concerns."
North Dakota University System lawyer Claire Holloway had some concerns about amending the agenda. "If a public agency such as the board decides before a meeting they want to talk about a topic but do not put it on the agenda, you cannot bring it up during the meeting. That is considered hiding the agenda item," said Holloway.
Reichert said she requested items be added to the agenda twice, but she says her requests were not added. Reichert said, "I'm at a loss. Are you telling me the System office and President control what we talk about?"
The motion was approved to add the management concerns item to the agenda.
"The controversy has only gotten bigger over time...I think we have to acknowledge we have a problem," Reichert said as debate began.
She added, "I think what we're really talking about is not whether we like or dislike someone, it's whether they have the right skills."
Reichert said if the board does not fix the problems, they are only going to get worse.
Concerns with the turnover rate in the North Dakota University System were also raised. Board Member Janice Hoffarth discussed a report that was given to state lawmakers during the legislative session showing 32 people were listed as University System staff. She pointed to 12 of those leaving in the past year.
"I don't see that as positive. You have 30 percent turnover in any business or university, and that's a problem," said Hoffarth.
Reichert said it is a sign of mismanagement.
Chancellor Shirvani countered saying, "This happens all the time. We have a small office overseeing an entire system." He pointed towards needing a larger staff, as did a couple other board members.
Board Member Kathleen Neset said this happens when there is new leadership. She said, "We are talking business. In business when you have a change of command, you generally have turnover. I am not concerned about this."
Board President Duane Espegard backed Neset's comments and added, "I don't look at those to be everybody running ship because everything has gone wrong." He spoke of many members of the University System leaving for better opportunities, some with higher pay and warmer climates.
Espegard said you cannot take the turnover numbers at face value. He said you need to dig further into them to see why there is such a high number of people leaving. "I look at that as [Neset] has said," Appeared explained. "A couple of them are natural when new administration comes on board. The rest of them are, I think, leaving for opportunities."
Espegard didn't see it as a problem…but former board member Robert Vallie disagreed, insisting that "[the board] needs to acknowledge the mistakes and problems that may or may not have been made, and that they want to understand how they can fix it, work with campuses... build that trust back that legislators have shown they have concerns with."
In the end the motion was made and approved to order a performance evaluation for the Chancellor. It is to be completed by the end of June. The guidelines for the review will be determined at a later date.
Why wasn't there more of a push to remove Shirvani today? Valley News Team's Brandon Clark said that said after talking with some of the board members, he learned they had found a way to not have to make a choice today.
Also on the agenda today, the board also voted on tuition increases and approved an option that puts a cap on colleges and universities -- for instance, UND can raise tuition up to 4.9 percent, a $289 increase per student.
Reporter Brandon Clark has been covering the meeting all day. He will continue to bring us updates as they arise.

Definitely a great feature, here's some more nitpicking - for that I'm sorry! Clicking on the picture opens up a new window - I'd rather have a click simply yield a surf to the next page. Rather than closing a second window, I'd rather navigate back to the home page by clicking on the logo at the top. Also, FYI, the photo doesn't seem to appear on Safari as viewed from my iPhone. Maybe I could do without the listing of the number in the sequence ie., "18/30". Finally, possibly you could spare an extra line of text so that the photo credit is always displayed, perhaps as a link so I can surf to the photographer's page. Once again, great job, thanks!
I like the slide show but don't like the new bigger size of the images and the heavy black border. Thanks for the great job to those behind the scenes at MP!
Sweet upgrade! Lookin good
The new look is great. Thanks for the hard work to all those involved! Here are a few observations... I agree with the person who said they would prefer a new window not be opened when you click on the text below the picture. I also agree with the person who said that it would be nice if the captions and photos loaded at the same time so we can flip through them faster. The Forum feed font on the homepage is now very small. (I have to lean in to my monitor to read it) I don't know if this is possible but I liked the way the links worked before in terms of being able to go to the picture (by clicking on the photo) or the route or area (by clicking on either one in the description of a photo). Is it possible to move the pause button to the top (next to the enlarge button) and make it so that if you click on the middle of the photo, you go to that picture in the same window? And/Or so that when you click on the text below the picture it takes you directly to the route or area (depending on where you clicked) in the same window? Again the upgrades are great and I'm not trying to be a nag, just offering some friendly feedback. Feel free to tell me to bugger off. Cheers, Brad
boy people sure know what they like. looks great, nick
It seems the recent forum posts text size is a lot smaller....harder to read them at a quick glance.
I know I'm probably in the minority here, but... While I appreciate the hard work involved, after living with the "Photo of the Moment" changes for several days, I think I prefer the former look and arrangement. As mentioned before; 1. The thick black border seems to dominate and darken the photo, thus diminishing its quality and impact. 2. The accompanying text/caption under the photo is small, fuzzy, not as crisp, and difficult to read. - Perhaps a change or improvement in font color would help. (No, I'm not drunk. And, yes, my eyesight is 20/20 ;-) 3. When clicked, the new opening window takes more time and is less intuitive. 4. Slide show option doesn't seem to stay turned OFF (will try again). As stated earlier...IMO, the slide show option seems to relegate each "great photo" to ordinary pedestrian status...just one of many passing by, etc. ("Great Photos" deserve to stand out as special, solitary features!) Don't mean to rain on anybody's parade, just one man's opinion after a few days. Cheers!

Special Topics & Webinars
Special Topic: Negotiation and Influence Skills- Tuesday, August 26, 2014 at 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Negotiation is the process of getting what we want from others and of managing differences when people disagree. We all negotiate – every day. Yet, very few people have had the benefit of any kind of formal training in even basic negotiation skills, leaving them vulnerable and at a great disadvantage. Based on the principles and approaches developed and taught at the Program on Negotiation at Harvard University and put forth in the book, Getting to Yes, by Roger Fisher, William Ury, and Bruce Patton, this highly interactive workshop provides participants with a clear roadmap to follow in preparing for and then conducting successful negotiations.
With this class, you will increase your confidence and improve your negotiating results by:
- Learning a simple 5-step preparation process that can be done in minutes prior to entering into a negotiation situation.
- Enhancing your ability to manage your emotions and the emotions of others involved in the negotiation.
- Learning how to create higher outcomes that satisfy both your interests and the interests of the other parties.
- Developing sources of power that protect you from being intimidated and conceding to demands that compromise your interests.
As the concepts are presented in the workshop, participants will see video demonstrations of skilled negotiation practices. Then, through engaging role-play and application to their own case study, attendees will be able to practice the skills and get feedback from others.
Special Topic: Value Stream Mapping- Thursday, September 4, 2014 at 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is a powerful tool for analyzing information and material flow throughout an organization. You will learn the step-by-step method of Value Stream Mapping to effectively identify and eliminate non-value adding activities. Using a case study example, you will create a current state map, analyze the current state map, and create a Lean future state map.
Complimentary Webinar: Dealing with Difficult Behaviors- Tuesday, September 30, 2014 at 2:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
The Dealing with Difficult Behaviors webinar focuses on identifying and addressing the seven most common difficult behaviors. Participants will gain valuable insight on how to effectively manage themselves when confronted with difficult behaviors. Click the following link to register: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/850015314
Special Topic: TIMEWISE- Friday, October 10, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.We all face a daily dilemma…too much to do and not enough time to do it! We must make tough choices about what to do and what not to do.
Using the Time Mastery Profile, developed by Dr. Larry Baker and Dr. Merrill Douglass participants will look at 12 categories that impact the productive use of time. They will discover how mastering time saves money and create a plan to incorporate positive habits. Participants will:
- Be introduced to the Time Mastery concept
- Identify ways that they use time effectively and ineffectively
- Improve their time handling abilities by replacing self-defeating behaviors that hinder effectiveness
Special Topic: Supervisory Bootcamp- Tuesday, November 4, 2014 at 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Do your first-time and front-line supervisors have the skills and training they need to be successful in their new roles?
Moving from Peer to Supervisor: Are we still friends?
Moving into a supervisory position can be an exciting and nerve-wracking step. Will my relationships change? What does a supervisor really do? What are my priorities now? These questions and more are addressed in this session. The benefits of attending this session include:
- Learning about the four basic management functions
- Clarification of your new role and the new responsibilities and accountabilities
- Identifying the actions you should take within the first few weeks of being a supervisor and creating a plan for completing them
Employment Law for New Supervisors
In addition to learning new ways of interacting with co-workers, new supervisors also need to know basic Federal and State Laws to help protect the employer from litigation. Participants will learn how these laws impact their daily activities:
- Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
- Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
- Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967
- Fair Labor Standards Act
- Family and Medical Leave Act
- Occupational Safety and Health Act
Special Topic: Lean for Frontline Supervisors- Thursday, December 4, 2014 at 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
The overall success of a Lean transformation depends on leadership, especially frontline supervision. Supervisors are the critical links between management and the people in the workplace. They are in a key position to lead and create motivation. And, most importantly, the supervisors are expected to change the current culture into a culture of continuous improvement.
However, despite these management expectations, most organizations give supervisors limited attention. Supervisors often manage more people than anyone in the company. Yet receive the least amount of training. And, it's not enough to just include supervisors in training. The Lean training has to be designed specifically for the supervisors.
This one-day workshop focuses on the fundamental challenges the supervisors face in leading a Lean culture change including:
- Business Case for Lean (What's-in-it-for-me?)
- Supervisor (gemba) waste walks and participation in Kaizen Events
- Quick look at the Lean Toolbox (including 5S, value stream map, standardized work)
- How to lead team-based problem solving (PDCA)
- Employee engagement ideas to sustain process improvements
- Supervisor engagement ideas to help build a culture of continuous improvement
Special Topics RegistrationMona Zink will assist you with your registration. Call 330-244-3508 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Special Topics are held on a demand basis and may be canceled due to low enrollment.

Advance —
When he was 9 years old, Blake Vogt's parents decided to throw their son a birthday party with local magician Marc Lehmann. Vogt had seen Lehmann perform before at the Lebanon Pizza Hut, and his parents saw that he was interested in magic. Little did they know that they had just changed their son's life forever.
"They probably thought it was harmless to do a one-hour magic show, harmless to buy me a magic kit," Vogt, now 24, said of his parents. "But pretty much after that hour, I was done for. I was completely obsessed after that."
Vogt went on the learn everything he could in the next few years. He followed Lehmann around religiously, he said. If Lehmann was performing at Pizza Hut in Lebanon on Wednesday, Vogt was there. If he was at the Pizza Hut in Frankfort or Zionsville, Vogt was there.
"I became that uncomfortable, annoying follower of his," Vogt said. "And in middle school, I'd been doing it long enough he, for some reason, decided he'd mentor me."
For more of the story, see Saturday's Lebanon Reporter.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
See the historic side of Montreal in its compact Old Town and then venture into the bucolic countryside for lunch and a glimpse into its traditional apple cider production.
Depart from the pier and travel directly into the heart of Old Town, a once-walled area where the city was founded in 1642. As you stroll along the cobbled streets, you will see icons such as the Notre-Dame Basilica, which when completed in 1829 was the largest house of worship in North America. It still commands attention, as do the other unforgettable sites such as the courthouse, city hall and various squares where Montreal's history unfolded.
For a different perspective of the city, you will then drive into Plateau Mont Royal, a predominately Francophile neighborhood with beautiful stone buildings, wrought-iron staircases and bohemian undercurrents. A former working class district, it has been gentrified and become an attractive environment for trendy boutiques and restaurants.
Then, it's off into the countryside for an inspired lunch that reflects the local cuisine. This rural area is also renowned for its flourishing apple orchards and apple-based products, which you will discover at a tasting at the family-owned Jodoin cider house. Its ice cider is particularly distinctive. It's made with three apple juice varieties and then frozen and fermented to create a delicately sweet beverage with an intense finish. The cider is often paired with strong cheeses and foie gras. Following this tasting, you will return to the pier.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 2.5 hours of easy to moderate walking/standing over mostly flat surfaces; although there are cobblestone streets in Old Town. The tour is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, are able to make their own way on and off the coach and have an able-bodied companion to assist them. Those with mobility concerns are cautioned to carefully evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. Weather appropriate clothing; sunglasses; and flat, comfortable walking shoes are recommended. The order of the sites viewed or visited may vary.
NOTICE: All Oceania Cruises shore excursion fares are listed per person, and are subject to change and availability. Some tours are capacity controlled and may be withdrawn at any time without prior notice. Tour departure times are subject to change so please reference your actual tour ticket for the correct departure time. Minor children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a an adult parent or guardian on all shore excursions.

Obama administration joins fight to overturn Prop. 8 same-sex marriage ban that voters approved
Original post made on Mar 1, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Friday, March 1, 2013, 7:43 AM
on Mar 1, 2013 at 9:19 am
The Obama administration does not believe that there are any rights that belong to the states or local communities. The Constitution says that anything not specifically enumerated to the Federal Government does not fall under their jurisdiction. Whether you support Prop 8 or not, it is time for states and local governments to stand up for THEIR RIGHTS. It is time for Pleasanton to stop taking orders from outside of Pleasanton; whether the orders come from ABAG or Obama.

This POTUS is the most dangerous enemy of our Country. We voted in a way that he doesn't like so he will try to change that with his kangaroo court. BO has done more than any one person in history to divide our community and turn our Country into a socialist state. How far do we let him go before we take our Country back?

Developing infrastructure
At OpenBI, we've spent decades designing data and business intelligence infrastructures. Regardless of requirements, we know there are many ways to design your BI architecture. We'll help you choose a path that will maximize benefits for your organization's short and long term BI needs, with minimal risk.
Contact us today to discuss the parameters of your requirements and to discover how OpenBI can make your investment in data architecture pay off.
Get the scoop on Hadoop
OpenBI has expertise in the architecture and integration of the Hadoop ecosystem that includes pure Apache, Cloudera, Hortonworks and MapR. Beyond the core MapReduce functionality, our engineers utilize big data programming technologies such as Pentaho Data Integration (PDI), Pig, and Hive to ensure productivity, maintainable code, and an integrated approach to managing big data with data warehouse content.
Say yes To NoSQL databases
OpenBI is also expert in the integration of NoSQL databases, like HBase, Cassandra and MongoDB for real-time access and updating of big data. Our engineers can help integrate these new data stores into your warehouse and analytic databases, as well as utilize connector and analytic software technology for direct reporting.
Power up with analytic databases
OpenBI's big data architecture includes new high performance analytic databases like Vectorwise, Netezza, Vertica and Greenplum. Unlike Hadoop and NoSQL, these stores support SQL-based intelligence with the ability to query billions of rows of information.
Grow from a relational database foundation
OpenBI engineers design and implement an end-to-end data architecture that leverages Hadoop, NoSQL, high performance analytical databases, with RDBMS-driven data warehouses and marts. OpenBI has the skills you need to maximize your database investments.

Thanksgiving is coming two days early for some in Tucson. This morning is Thanksgiving in El Barrio.
Volunteers arrived a half hour ago, with the doors officially opening at 11:30 a.m., this Thanksgiving meal is being put on by Luz Social Services.
They are expecting 2,000 meals, more than last year, as the need seems higher this year. More and more it is struggling families, younger children and even relatively young couples who are needing a little extra help.
While they don't condone it, some students will be missing school today. They understand it, having something special to look forward to and share. Faces light up after they finish the meal, they are thankful, grateful and ask to help clean or wash up afterward.
Donations are overwhelming, heartwarming to see. Any donations that are left over from the Thanksgiving meal will be used for Christmas.
There are also resources available to help those in need, once the meal is over too.
Stay with Tucson News Now this morning we will be checking in the kitchen as they get ready for the big day.

wimlib is a C library for creating, modifying, extracting, and mounting files in the Windows Imaging Format (WIM files). These files are normally created by using the "imagex.exe" or "Dism.exe" utilities on Windows, but wimlib is distributed with a free command-line frontend called "wimlib-imagex" for both UNIX-like systems and Windows.
To install wimlib and wimlib-imagex on Windows (XP or later), simply download and extract the ZIP file to have ready-to-use binaries. On UNIX-like systems, you must build from source, unless packages have already been prepared for your operating system. The primary tested UNIX-like platform is Linux.
wimlib-imagex may be used to create customized images of Windows PE, or to back up, install, or restore Windows operating systems.
On UNIX, wimlib has special support for capturing and applying WIMs directly to/from NTFS volumes using libntfs-3g, preserving Windows-specific and NTFS-specific data. On Windows, this data is supported natively.
- Multi-platform C library plus a command-line frontend using it
- Archive format used by Microsoft to distribute Windows; also is content-addressable and good for tasks such as incremental backups
- Fully compatible with Microsoft implementation (as of Windows 8.1), excepting optional extensions
- Apply/extract a WIM image to a directory or NTFS volume
- Capture a directory tree or NTFS volume as a new WIM image
- Mount a WIM image read-only or read-write (Linux only)
- Update a WIM image without mounting it
- Extract files or directories from a WIM image without mounting it
- Delete, append, and export WIM images
- Support for split and delta WIMs
- Support for XPRESS, LZX, and LZMS compression
- LZX ("maximum") compressor compresses more than competing implementations
- Support for unencrypted ESD (.esd) files (modified WIM format)
- Display WIM headers, stream lookup tables, and image metadata
Update Notifications
User Ratings
User Reviews
Allot faster and can compress smaller than imagex and/or dism, keep up the great work
it is a awlsom prodict to use
Reliable and runs smoothly
After a long time of searching for that, now I am happy with it! Great work Eric! Thank you!
great product

Microtext Room where I met Diane MacLean Boumenot yesterday.
Awesome photos.
Why thank you Gale.
Goodness, what a beautiful building, I am not sure I would be getting any research done there, eh?? I would be just staring at all the beauty!
That is the biggest, most beautiful library, genealogy or not, I have ever seen. I'm with Carol. Not a lot of work would get done!
All the comments are exactly right about the BPL. When I'm there I always go see the Sargent murals and the courtyard (if it's nice weather), and then I don't have enough time to get anything done!
Your site is really good and the posts are just wonderful. Thank you and keep doing your great work.
I need to make a trip! I haven't been there in ages. When I was in library school I would occasionally go to the BPL and study in the reading room. Such an inspiring place. Thanks for posting your pictures!
Ladies, thank you for your comments. I am only now just looking at the building, inside and out. Before, it was always the books. (You know what I mean, research was always the priority.)

With gorgeous coats in cream, black teal and leather and fur accents, I wanted almost every single one of them. The ladylike peplums on the dresses and skirts also brought out the best of femininity with cinched waists and fullness on the bottom. The structure of the clothing was incredibly shapely with a modern twist done with paneling, extravagant fabrics and even a bit of pewter sequins in the evening wear portion of the show. Models were clad in Manolo Blahnik shoes specially made for Antonio Berardi, Gucci Westman of Revlon was backstage getting the models glamorous along with Orlando Pita on hair for John Frieda.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Cuban defector Yoenis Cespedes and the Oakland Athletics have agreed to a $36 million, four-year contract.
Agent Adam Katz confirmed Monday the sides had reached agreement, with details still to be finalized. This is a significant move for Oakland, which now has the steady hitter it sought to boost the roster heading into 2012. The A's also have expressed interest in slugger Manny Ramirez.
The A's, hoping to be given clearance from Major League Baseball to relocate to San Jose and construct a new ballpark, have been in rebuilding mode this winter. Oakland traded starting pitchers Gio Gonzalez and Trevor Cahill and also All-Star closer Andrew Bailey.

To all the staff at the Grand Hotel Aminta. We stayed with you over the new year holiday. Sorrento is the place to be for new year. The New Year eve dinner was very enjoyable and watching all the fireworks light up Sorrento was amazing! Thank you to all the helpful staff and your especially friendly welcome to children, our daughter had a very good time and ate loads of food.
Thank you again,

We would just like to thank you for another memorable week in sorrento, after visiting last year we had to return. Everything was as good as, if not better, than last year.

We would like to wish you all a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year,
Look forward to seeing you all again next year,

I would just like to say that I was also part of the Prendergast party staying at the Aminta and from the minute I arrived, I loved it. The waiters were all friendly and helped me with my Italian. I had a great time and would recommend staying at the Aminta to anyone.
Lotsa Love
The Kinder Family from Essex
We would just like to say thank you so much for a fantastic time in the Villa Aminta!!! We had a fantastic holiday in Rome and then to travel down to Sorrento to stay in the Villa Aminta just made our holiday unbelievably brilliant! You have the best views of the Bay of Naples which were breathtaking and the all of the staff were great!
It was so sad to leave Rome Ciampino Airport in the lovely sun and then to land in Stansted and have to run inside because of the cold rain. We cant wait to come back!
We loved it so much that we are coming to the Villa Aminta again in Spring 2003
Thank you again for an unforgettable stay
Alexa xxxxxx

Dear Gianfranco
I would like to thank you and all your staff for making our stay so memorable last week, it seems a long way away from the rainy England we woke up to most of this week... no wonderful view of Vesuvius. It is a shame we did not get to meet you whilst we were there maybe we will when we stay again.
Janet & Terry Mackey Alford Lincolnshire England
We have just returned home from a marvellous weeks stay at the Aminta Hotel, and we would like to add our comments to your Guestbook. The Staff were excellent, the Hotel was very comfortable and the food was absolutely fabulous. We hope to return one day with friends to enjoy the experience over again.

To: Gianfranco Acampora
Dear Sir
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Our stay at your Grand Hotel Aminta over the weekend was perfect. We couldn't have asked for better service from yourself and your team at the hotel. Everyone was so nice, courteous and helpful - on reception, hall porter, at the bar, in the restaurant, the chambermaids, the bus driver, even the maintenance man. We were made to feel most welcome and nothing was too much trouble.
We selected your hotel because of your web page - we looked at every web page for every hotel in and around Sorrento. Yours was the most appealing by far. Also the photo of your dining room caught our eye as we felt it looked most attractive. We must commend you on the attention to detail in the decor of the public spaces and the general high standard that is set in the day to day running of the hotel. Particularly in the dining room, everything is run precisely right.
My daughter (aged 9) was most impressed with the teasing attention she received from the bar and restaurant staff. My hyperactive son (aged just 4) was reduced to silence by the stream of videos provided for him in the TV room on rainy day mornings.
Thank you, too, for remembering my husband's birthday on Saturday night. The cake and wine were a lovely surprise for him and I was most impressed that you had remembered this small detail from so many months ago.
Please, if you can, pass on our thanks to everyone - we really noticed all the little things that made us realise we had made the right choice in coming to stay with you at the Grand Hotel Aminta.
I run a bed & breakfast business at our large family home in Surrey (very close to London Gatwick Airport) and we have somewhere in the region of 2500 guests who are going on holiday from Gatwick stay with us every year. I'll be sure to recommend your Hotel to them all.
Kindest regards,
The Carnaby Family
October 12, 2002
We have just finished two fantastic weeks in the Aminta, the food was mouth watering the views spectacular and the local walks enjoyable. The hotel staff should be commended for there courtesy and helpful attitude towards us. particularly we would like to mention our thanks to Pietro and Tony, for making us smile. Missing you already!!
Irene Bianchi one satisfied guest!
We wish to congratulate you and your staff on their exceptional standard of service and their professional manner and kindness. They, along with the beautiful surroundings, made our holiday both a pleasure and a success.
Kind regards,

Some top mushers may cross the finish line soon, in the last Great Race on Earth.
This is Kelly Maixner's third time competing in the Iditarod, up in Alaska.
The North Dakota native is coming in--in the top 30 right now.
He's got supporters near and far.
She teaches a Medical-Related Careers course to students around the state through I-TV.
Technology is helping Joelean Lowman learn some timely geography.
"There's Nome, so you can see he's almost, almost there." says Lowman.
She's tracking her brother, Kelly Maixner online.
It's Kelly's third time competing in the Iditarod.
Through a special subscription, she can see his GPS in actual time.
"I'm watching it closely-we track it on GPS and facebook..." says Lowman.
She's not the only one.
"The way I like to watch is to obsessively watch his tracker, he has a little GPS tracker..." says Margaret Maixner/Kelly's wife.
It's been nine days since Margaret has seen her husband, and excitement in Alaska is building.
Margaret says she's expecting Kelly to come in Wednesday afternoon.
Due to warm weather--and dehydration of some dogs- it's not looking like he'll be in the top 20.
"He was a little bit down when he realized he wasn't going to meet his goal, but when I talked to him yesterday he seemed back in good spirits, glad to be on the trail and doing what he loves to do." says Margaret.
"Looking how far he's gone this year, he's doing amazing." says Lowman.
Although many members of his North Dakota family are watching from afar, many are still there in spirit.
"Tye, that one's named after my nephew, Shane is named after my brother, Shanny, after my sister." says Lowman.
"Kelly's always been the person who sought out the next great adventure and he lives life to the fullest, when he moved to Alaska he said two things he wanted to do was an Iditarod and climb Mt. McKinley--he's been training." says Lowman.
Kelly and his wife Margaret have a baby girl Rosie who is over a year old.
Margaret says a baby brother is due in June.

What time is it? It's time for the best on air variety show to hit Northern California. Sit back and have a few laughs as John, Tony and Dave bring you down to their level, which can be pretty low, and give you a Reality Check!

I have check all of the filters, templates etc. and all indicate 'Wires' to show. They show in the floor plan and the floor plan sheet view but not in the detail sections view. Is there something else that controls the visibility of 'Wires'? Samples attached.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Unfortunately wires are listed in te model category but behave like annotation elements. Therefore you would have to either copy the wires from the plan view to the detail view or create a dependent view of the main floor plan.
Both ways have their pros and cons. I have to ask though - if you are doing a detail view, do you have to replicate the wires in both the master plan and the detail view? Surely the point of a detail view is to zoom in to a specific areas and add the detail there rather than duplicating?
I will move the circuitry to the details view. It is confusing that some items show in both views, requiring the use of filters, and some do not. Oh well, live-n--learn. Thanks for your reply.
IF you work on the basic rule of model elements appear in multiple views and annotation are view specific then you'll be happy 90% of the time.
There are a few quirks - like wires - but the more you use the program, the more you get to know about these quirks.

Although there are people who find it pretty hard to make money online, it just might turn out to be the easiest thing anyone can do. For it to be that simple, you need to know and understand that there are precise ways that one can follow to make money online. The problem that comes in the way of most people achieving this objective is because they fail to follow up with the dream. They end up giving up too soon after starting. The result is that you leave untapped potential from the rich internet fast income app resources. All that is needed is to follow a few steps and the money will be yours for the taking. The steps to be followed include:
- Find out which area you want to specialize in. Most people fail to identify what particular area they want to get into. The end result is that everything fails to fall into place because you have not focus on anything worthwhile. The internet is full of opportunities and this is the reason why it requires a person who can do a few things well. This helps to get even more jobs because you don't waste time trying out too many things.
- Pick the products or services that you will be dealing with. This particular step gives you the ability to brainstorm on the best items to use. It simply involves the vital step of picking out which items will help you achieve your goals.
- Build and establish an online presence. This particular feature makes it possible for any person to enjoy the kind of feeling that they actually have an office that people are coming into. This is because clients are able to know what you do and what one has to offer. This is one of the most effective ways of actually guaranteeing that you can make money online. It is just as important that an internet user understands that you offer real value and quality. This is how a person becomes a force to be reckoned with.
- Have a website or even a blog so that people can find you through your own site on the internet. People don't want to have to look for you in the midst of others but rather to have a specific way of finding you and everything that one offers.
- Make an effort to come up with a target audience. Although it might seem like a good idea to try and get everyone, The more effective approach is to go for a target audience. These are the people who you are sure will be coming for your products and services time and again. You can do this through keeping them updated by integrating them into your mailing list.

Fig Bars
Soft fig cookies were a big favorite of mine when I was a kid. I loved their sweet and sticky filling and their cake-like crust. My kids love them too, but because store-bought cookies are usually loaded with questionable ingredients like hydrogenated oils and high-fructose corn syrup, I make homemade versions instead. These come pretty close to the original in taste, but are much more wholesome.
Hands-On Time: 30 minutes
Ready In: 4 1/2 hours (includes chill time)
Yield: 40 bars
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Fig Filling:
1 package (12 ounce) moist dried figs
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Finely chop 1 package moist dried figs. Mix in saucepan with 1/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup water and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Place over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes or until thick and jammy. Remove from heat, cool and cover and chill.
- With mixer, beat together butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla until well blended. Mix flour, salt and baking soda and stir into first mixture (dough will be stiff). Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 3 to 4 hours or overnight.
- When ready to bake, turn dough out on lightly floured surface. Roll into a 14 x 12 inch rectangle. Cut into 4 strips 3 1/2 x 12 inches long. Spoon filling evenly down center of strips and using a spatula, turn in sides of strips. Press edges together to seal then cut each strip into 10 pieces.
- Arrange seam side down on baking sheets and bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until firm and lightly browned. Remove to racks to cool. Store in an airtight container.

Dragons insist Faletau is not for sale
ESPN Staff
December 29, 2012
Wales international Toby Faletau is contracted at the Dragons until the end of next season © Getty Images
Newport Gwent Dragons have issued a "hands off" warning to those clubs hoping to lure Wales international No.8 Toby Faletau away from Rodney Parade.
Faletau is contracted with the region until the end of the 2013-14 season but a number of clubs are circling with Premiership side Bath having reportedly tabled a six-figure transfer fee in the hope of signing the highly-rated 22-year-old.
But Dragons chairman Martyn Hazell, who is already set to lose Wales flanker Dan Lydiate at the end of the current campaign, is adamant that Faletau will not be leaving before the end of his current deal and that the PRO12 side would do all they could to re-sign him when that time comes.
"Toby is not for sale and is not going anywhere," Hazell told the South Wales Argus. "There are a number of clubs interested in him - two English clubs in particular - but it's important we hold on to him and we will be doing what we can to keep Toby here (beyond the date when his current contract expires in 2014)."

By Stephen Schweickart
Today, in partnership with ReelSEO, we're going to be talking about this new Android App for Cinematographers. It's called the SL Director's Viewfinder.
Let me dispel a cinematography urban legend for you. Holding your hands up in front of your face making a little rectangle with your thumbs and forefingers does not make you look like a filmmaker. It doesn't increase your credibility. And worst of all, it doesn't give you a very good idea of what your shot will look like when you point a real-life lens at it.
But thankfully, for you Android users out there (who I still think should get iPhones), there's a simple solution—SL Director's Viewfinder.
Long-time-visual-effects supervisor Stephen Lebed has worked in TV and film for decades and has turned his passion for film into the Director's Viewfinder app. Sure you'll still be holding your hands in front of your face, but now you'll be holding your phone and running an app that allows you to simulate many of today's top cameras and, more importantly, different focal lengths of lenses. So instead of playing the guessing game with your fingers, you get a real life look at what your shot will look like when you get to the location with your camera.
As an added bonus, the viewfinder app comes with built in grids for you, specifically one that gives you a rule of thirds template to help you properly compose your shots. Now I don't know if you know this, but the rule of thirds is very important.
Viewfinder lets you capture images directly to your phone's gallery, making it incredibly simple for you to just print the images out and use them for your storyboards. We have another video about that too. So instead of bumbling around you can just look at your shot list and grab the lens it tells you to. Not only will it save you time, but it will save you from looking like a goober in front of your client.
The SL Director's Viewfinder clocks in at just under $10 so you won't be breaking the bank, and you'll wind up with a tool you'll use on all your shoots from here on out. You won't be up a creek without it, but it's a big ol' paddle that can really help you steer the boat.

TCHS defense has been dominant in 2012
Thu. October 11, 2012 at 6:26 p.m. | By Brett Hudson

NORTHPORT | When teams bring schemes that force opponents to manipulate what they do and what their players are comfortable with, normally the balance of the game is tilted in their favor from the first possession.
Tuscaloosa County High School's defense has worked through it, adapting its defensive scheme week-by-week to produce four shutouts in six games and allow only five points per game.
"I've been doing this for a long time, and I guess I've always had the reputation, or M-O, of being a guy that likes to stunt and blitz and that kind of thing," TCHS defensive coordinator Jay Todd said.
"I like to make things happen."
Todd said that the Wildcats have been more conservative this season.
"A lot of the teams we've played so far, we just haven't been comfortable being able to stunt and things like that because of the schemes they run," he said. "They kind of invite that. If they catch you in that kind of situation, they can bust it out on you."
The talent and coaching the Wildcats have on the defensive side of the ball make the adjustment easier, and can even eradicate the adjustment altogether.
"It just fits what we need to do to be successful," head coach Lee Gibson said. "We're able to get the pressure without doing the stunts and other things. When the kids do what the coaches say to do, it's not an adjustment.
"It's a credit to how well they've prepared and how they're getting coached up. It's a great group of athletes."
The Wildcats have had to make adjustments to the depth chart, especially after defensive lineman Dalyn Patton's injury. Patton was suffering from nerve damage in his shoulder that limited him to only one half of action. Now, Patton is nursing a dislocated kneecap.
"That put us in a bind immediately as far as depth," Todd said.
The Wildcats got great play from a sophomore that changed the complexity of the defense.
"We've had a young man by the name of Darius Ellis, he's come in to play defensive end so we could move a senior (Hunter Jenkins) down inside where Dalyn plays a lot," Todd said. "If it wasn't for Darius coming in, we might not have been able to make that move."
While breaking in a new defensive end, TCHS has turned to middle linebacker Ted Colburn for leadership.
"He's kind of our quarterback of the front seven" Todd said. "He missed the Jackson-Olin game with an ankle injury and you could really tell a difference without him on the field because of his experience. He's a three-year starter."
Todd also pointed out Lucas Webb, another senior, as the leader of the secondary.
Even with four shutouts in six games, the coaching staff knows the defense can play better.
"I think that's true for our entire team," Gibson said. "The defense has bought into it. You're either getting better or getting worse every time we go to practice.
It may be something small, but there's always something to improve on.
"The sky's the limit for what these kids can do if they continue to work hard and stay humble and do what the coaches tell them to do."

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
A superb, moderate route, as good as White Whale. Like that route it is actually on the Left Book, which, although it is part of the Book, requires you to follow the turnoff for the Bookmark (situated in front of the Book) and scramble around west of that rock to the base of the slabby Left Book, which could perhaps even more accurately be termed the "west Book". Confused? If not, you might yet have trouble finding the exact line of the route. The belays are all shared with White Whale, hence the first pitch heads up to a small tree.
Standard rack; the second pitch has an easy wide crack for which one bigger piece such as a #4 Friend might be nice. Make sure you have at least a normal allowance of small gear.

CATEGORIES Interviews, MoviesIdina Menzel, the actress who created the role of Elphaba in Broadway's uber-popular musical 'Wicked,' says she's "too old" to reprise her Tony-winning performance on the big screen.
"They've already told the both of us we'll be too long in the tooth," Menzel said today at a press Q&A in Manhattan, referring to herself and her 'Wicked' co-star, Kristin Chenoweth. "Which I thought was absurd, until I was hired as Rachel's mother."
'Wicked,' a re-telling of 'The Wizard of Oz,' in which we find out what happened to the Wicked Witch of the West before Dorothy rolled into town, garnered Menzel worldwide praise and fame. The actress, who had already made a name for herself in the stage and screen versions of 'Rent,' also appeared on the hit TV show 'Glee,' as Rachel Berry's mother, Shelby.
"My new idea is, I tell the producers, 'Just do it like 'Avatar.' I'll be this amazing, exotic, gorgeous green woman and it'll be the essence of me and my voice and just less crow's feet," she joked.
Menzel said she'd love to be involved in the project in any way, which is currently starting to get a script and director together.
"They are going to make one but they're years away still," she said. " ... Maybe I'll play the green witch's mother."
Menzel also said there will be a sequel to the 2007 musical-movie 'Enchanted' and that she believes she will be asked to reprise her role.
Do you think Idina Menzel should play Elphaba in the 'Wicked' movie? Or if she is too old, who would make a good Elphie?

MailChimp is an email-marketing service provider used to design and send emails, manage your subscribers, and track your campaign's performance. Our tools focus on maintaining subscriber information, bounce data, and unsubscribes as a way to maintain list health over the life of a campaign. If your list needs to be validated, we recommend using tools and services specifically designed for list cleaning.
Internet service providers (ISPs), anti-spam groups, and corporate email protection services set specific thresholds regarding spam complaints, undeliverable mail, and unsubscribe requests. As a bulk delivery service we're required to enforce these thresholds. Doing so helps us maintain our sending reputation and high deliverability standards and helps ensure that when you send campaigns using MailChimp, your emails reach your subscribers.
If you send a campaign to an old or stale list using MailChimp, you may see a high number of spam complaints, undeliverable mail (bounces), or unsubscribes. These can raise red flags in our system and lead to account warnings or even permanent account suspension. We really don't want that to happen, so it's best to use a service that's specifically designed to clean your list before uploading it to MailChimp.

Transportation Justice and Housing Program
Our StrategyUrban Habitat links transportation justice efforts at the local, regional, state, and national levels. This coordinated strategy is necessary to ensure that local and regional victories are not erased by budget crises at higher political scales—such as when the state of California moved to eliminate STA transit operation support, negating most of the gains we had secured at the ballot box in our 2008 victory on the local Measure V V campaign. We use three broad approaches to push for equitable distribution of transportation benefits:
• Reframing the Debate
We bring a race and class analysis to forefront of the debate over transportation investments, and make sure that equity considerations are at the heart of the transportation movement.
• Equalizing Investments
We analyze transportation investments and projects and work to win a greater share of funding for the basic transit service that low-income people and people of color rely on every day.
• Building the Base
By increasing the capacity of communities that have historically lacked political and economic power, we build a transportation movement that centers the experience of those that depend on transit. [More]
Program Updates
Coalition Successful: A Win for Working Class Communities of Color
On December 6, an important step was taken in the battle to keep neighborhoods, with good transit, affordable to the low-income residents who depend on the bus and BART to get to work, school and other places they go to daily.
The Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) Board voted on a final set of One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) Scoring Criteria. Responding to the recommendations of Urban Habitat and members of the Equitable Transit Oriented Development Coalition (see list below), the Board increased the possible points earned for affordable housing and anti-displacement to 9 (from 3). They also increased the points for projects that improve access to frequent transit to 6 (from 3).
A Huge Victory for Youth, Education, and San Francisco
For the first time in its history, San Francisco youth will be able to travel to and from school, work, after-school programs and other activities throughout the city for free.
A vote by the San Francisco Municipal Transit Agency board (SFMTA) on Wednesday to approve the Free Muni for Low-Income Youth means that the cost of public transit no longer will be a barrier to opportunity for young people in San Francisco.
For the past two years, youth and transit advocates tirelessly fought to transform the free Muni program from an idea into a reality.
Measure B1: A Narrow Loss We Can Learn From
B1's incredibly narrow loss is bittersweet for us at Urban Habitat, who had worked incredibly hard to make sure it would improve transit for Alameda County's low-income and working-class residents.
Measure B1 included many important benefits to the county's transportation system and, particularly its most vulnerable residents — in the form of funds for restoring AC Transit service, improving paratransit for the elderly and disabled, new bike lanes and sidewalks, and seed funding for a countywide Free Student Bus Pass program. These are all funds badly needed to put Alameda County on a path toward more sustainable and equitable transportation modes.
The funds in B1 would have enabled AC Transit to add back bus lines that had been cut, expand evening and weekend service, and make buses run more frequently and more on-time. Without B1, AC Transit may need to cut further from its already skeletal service, and it will definitely try to push another fare hike on its already-taxed riders.
MTC Denies Free Youth Pass, the Fight for Free Muni for Youth Continues
"Ain't gonna let nobody turn us around"
Hard work and heartfelt testimony by young people and their allies broadened support for Free Muni for Youth among the members of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC)—but MTC still wasn't ready to fund a project that mainly benefits low-income youth and youth of color. The Commission rejected a proposal to allocate $4 million to the Free Youth Pass pilot program by a vote of 8 to 7 at its July 25 meeting. Commissioners from San Francisco, the Peninsula and the South Bay backed the program, while East Bay and North Bay representatives opposed it.
Youth from POWER (People Organized to Win Employment Rights) responded to the vote with an unscheduled public comment, filling the room with chants of "Spread the word, spread the truth/Free Muni for all our youth!" and "We'll be back!" before leaving the building.
Around 70 youth and supporters from all over the Bay Area attended the Wednesday morning MTC meeting. On the steps outside the agency's headquarters after the vote, San Francisco Supervisor David Campos put the events in perspective.
Youth Bus Pass Press Conference and Vote at MTC - July 11 10 am 390 Main St, S.F.
A key vote at the July 11 meeting of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) will determine whether low-income San Francisco youth will be able to get to school free next year. Youth and community leaders from around the Bay Area will converge at the meeting to urge the Commission to make youth a priority and approve the last of the funds needed to make San Francisco's pilot Free Youth Pass program a reality. The Free MUNI Muni for Youth Coalition will hold a press conference Wednesday, July 11 at 10 a.m. at 390 Main St., San Francisco; MTC's Planning and Allocations Committee is scheduled to discuss the Youth Pass funding at 10:45 on the first floor.
"A well-resourced, successful pilot program in San Francisco would provide much-needed relief for struggling families in the city, and would set an example for other cities as well," said Maria Poblet, Executive Director of Causa Justa::Just Cause.

Judge Orders Mediation for Horace Mann and Insurer
