, the truss safety product originally developed by Total Fabrications, is also now being made and sold by the Prolyte Products Group based in Holland. Speaking of this major collaboration, Total Fabrications Ltd's (TFL) managing director Chris Cronin says "Since T2 was first launched in 2000, we envisaged the T2 system as the new standard of safety for trussing with fall arrest and that it should be available from more than one major truss manufacturer. A separate company, T2 Systems Limited, was established to manage the various patents, registered designs and trade marks that cover T2 and to license its production to suitable manufacturers in the industry."
Cronin continues, "T2 systems are in use across the UK and abroad – including two major London venues. With work underway on an exciting new installation in the South West and a number of other UK-based projects, it is only natural that a manufacturer in mainland Europe should want to be able to offer the product too."
Speaking for Prolyte, managing director Fokko Smeding explains, "Since the launch of T2 we have been convinced of the importance of the product in the event industry due to its integral protection against falls from height, its high performance and connectivity. The concept of the T2 system links seamlessly with our belief in producing safe truss and promoting safe working practices. We are very pleased to be able to add this state of the art truss system to our product range."
T2 Systems' managing director, Robert Brightley states "T2 utilizes modern materials and innovative design which are both well suited to Prolyte's impressive high tech manufacturing facility in Holland. I am delighted that Prolyte are the first truss manufacturer to take a license after TFL. They will both now make T2 under a license arrangement from T2 Systems Limited. This is an important step in making the T2 system available to a wider market and the broader manufacturing base will further underpin the product, which is already being adopted as the new safety standard for truss in the entertainment industry."
The T2 support system is striking in design, innovative in construction, and feature rich. Above all it is like no other truss you've ever seen.
T2 is a new and advanced demountable structural system with integral protection for personnel against falls from a height. T2 is designed for typical truss applications; its structural and practical performance is superior to traditional products; it offers safer methods of climbing and working at height; it can sustain the loads arising during an arrested fall and facilitates safe rescue.
Key components of the system include: modular truss, energy absorbing lanyard with twin mobile anchor points, t-clamp, rigging hardware, and accessories.
Its integrated design addresses the needs of personnel safety when operating at height. The truss is constructed from a custom designed extrusion, not round tube. The square profile has safety benefits; it is more comfortable to walk along reducing operator fatigue; and its ribbed surface makes the user more sure footed.
A 'T' channel is integrated into the extrusion on all four chords, the dedicated personnel safety attachment fixes directly to this channel, providing a mobile but direct anchor point.
This channel provides for all attachment needs, personnel security, lighting, video, and audio; all attach to the channel, dispensing with the need for hook clamps. All the various attachment fittings conform to CE standards.
The trussing web – it's diagonal bracing – is also quite different. By passing the web in 3D through the center of the truss, there is far less structural clutter for the user to catch their feet on.
This 3D web greatly increases lateral strength making the trauma of sudden load in unpredictable directions (an arrested fall) less stressful on the truss.
Developed and designed by in house engineers and safety experts from within the entertainment industry, the T2 system addresses every need, in a completely integrated fashion. By making the personnel safety feature part of the trussing structure, the convenience and performance of both truss and personnel protection system are unequaled.

Creating Searchable Content from Fax Images Whitepaper
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
Not all documents or information that ends up in an ECM system are the same. Faxes for example, are difficult to search since after all, they are mere images of a document, albeit legally binding and acceptable in its photographic form. Mining for the true content of a fax requires various methods of intervention, some manual and some more automated. Companies have standardized the managing of faxes on enterprise fax server systems to do just that. Today's fax server has various complex methods in which to accept and route captured faxes into their business workflows. This paper introduces OpenText RightFax and its ability to convert incoming faxes into searchable documents. This paper highlights a new method to convert captured business faxes into searchable content which improves efficiency, productivity and leverages ECM investments.

Five Albemarle County supervisors will go behind closed doors Wednesday to battle it out over who should take Chris Dumler's spot on the board.
Of the 10 people in the running, supervisors have their favorites but no one will say names. They include Democrats, Republican and Independents.
The hope is consensus but several supervisors fear politics will play a role in the final decision.
"It does make it more difficult to make a decision simply because everyone has their own ideas about who, among the 10 applicants, who might be a better person to fill the position," said Supervisor Dennis Rooker.
Supervisors have until July 22 to make a decision if they don't do it Wednesday. After that a judge will step in.
A special election for the position will be held in November.

Collier County deputies say thieves are targeting pricey lawn equipment - stealing thousands of dollars in equipment from landscaping companies. Some of the victims say thieves are going to great lengths to get the goods.
"A Kick in the Grass" is the name of Craig Bennett's landscaping company. And he says that's what the thieves gave him when they stole his lawn equipment.
"They took my whole truck, my trailer and all of the equipment in it - gone," he said.
It was all taken right from his front yard in the middle of the night.
"You're talking about probably $13,000 of equipment and you're talking about a $25,000 truck and a $5,000 trailer," Bennett explained.
In the last month, Collier County deputies say more than a handful of landscaping companies got clipped by thieves.
"The police say this is a big money business," Bennett said.
In fact, it's so lucrative that deputies say the thieves went to great lengths when they stole from three businesses in the same night.
The victims say the thieves went as far as climbing over a fence and walking through a drainage ditch just to steal tools like an edger. Then, they left the same way they came in.
Leo, who didn't want to give his last name, works for Hampton Lawns - another company hit by thieves.
"We're kind of struggling a little bit because we have to wait for one group to finish with the equipment and then we come pick it up and then go to the other community," he said.
His employer, like many others, managed to buy or get some of the tools back from their insurance company.
Bennett says his truck was recovered in Miami hours after it was stolen - completely empty.
So now, he says, he's amping up security - something deputies say is a good idea.

The Twelve Dancing Princesses
|The Twelve Dancing Princesses
Children's Theatre performance in Maine 1942
|Folk tale
|The Twelve Dancing Princesses
|Aarne-Thompson grouping
|Published in
|Kinder- und Hausmärchen
|Kate Crackernuts
"The Twelve Dancing Princesses" (or "The Worn-Out Dancing Shoes" or "The Shoes that were Danced to Pieces") is a German fairy tale originally published by the Brothers Grimm in 1812 in Kinder- und Hausmärchen as tale number 133. Its closest analogue is the Scottish Kate Crackernuts, where it is a prince who is obliged to dance every night.
Charles Deulin collected another, French version in his Contes du Roi Cambinus (1874), which he credited to the Grimm version.[1] Alexander Afanasyev collected a Russian variant, "The Secret Ball", in Narodnye russkie skazki.
Twelve princesses, each more beautiful than the last, sleep in twelve beds in the same room. Every night, their doors are securely locked. But in the morning, their dancing shoes are found to be worn through as if they had been dancing all night. The king, perplexed, promises his kingdom and each daughter to any man who can discover the princesses' midnight secret within three days and three nights, but those who fail within the set time limit will be put to death.
An old soldier returned from war comes to the king's call after several princes have failed in the attempt. Whilst traveling through a wood he comes upon an old woman, who gives him an enchanted cloak that he can use to observe them unawares and tells him not to eat or drink anything given to him in the evening by any of the princesses and to pretend to be fast asleep until after they leave.
The soldier is well received at the palace just as the others had been and indeed, in the evening, the eldest princess comes to his chamber and offers him a cup of wine. The soldier, remembering the old woman's advice, throws it away secretly and begins to snore loudly as if asleep.
The twelve princesses, sure that the soldier is asleep, dress themselves in fine dancing gowns and escape from their room by a trap door in the floor. The soldier, seeing this, dons his magic cloak and follows them. He steps on the gown of the youngest princess, whose cry of alarm to her sisters is rebuffed by the eldest. The passageway leads them to three groves of trees; the first having leaves of silver, the second of gold, and the third of glittering diamonds. The soldier, wishing for a token, breaks off a twig of each as evidence. They walk on until they come upon a great clear lake. Twelve boats, with twelve princes, appear where the twelve princesses are waiting. Each princess gets into one, and the soldier steps into the same boat as the twelfth and youngest princess. The youngest princess complains that the prince is not rowing fast enough, not knowing the soldier is in the boat. On the other side of the lake stands a castle, into which all the princesses go and dance the night away.
The twelve princesses happily dance all night until their shoes are worn through and they are obliged to leave. The strange adventure continues on the second and third nights, and everything happens just as before, except that on the third night the soldier carries away a golden cup as a token of where he has been. When it comes time for him to declare the princesses' secret, he goes before the king with the three branches and the golden cup, and tells the king all he has seen. The princesses know that there is no use in denying the truth, and confess. The soldier chooses the first and eldest princess as his bride for he is not a very young man, and is made the King's heir.
The Brothers Grimm learned the tale from their friends the Hauxhausens who had heard the tale in Munster. Other versions were known in Hesse and Paderborn. In the Hesse version, only one princess is believed to be responsible for wearing out a dozen shoes every night until a young shoemaker's apprentice discovers that she is joined by eleven other princesses in the revels. The spell is broken, and the apprentice marries the princess. In the Paderborn version, it is three princesses who dance nightly. This version introduces the ruse of the soldier disposing of the drugged wine and pretending to be asleep.[2]
Victorian editors disliked the "do or die" aspect imposed upon those willing to discover the Princessess' whereabouts, and found ways to avoid it. The candidates who failed simply vanished without explanation instead of being sent to their deaths. The garden of trees with gold, silver, and diamond leaves recalls a similar garden in the Sumerian epic of Gilgamesh.[2]
Strangely enough, the Princesses are often portrayed as somewhat malicious characters, showing no remorse for lying to their father, and repeatedly giving their suitors drugged wine to ensure that their mystery remains unsolved, despite knowing that those who fail are put to death in some versions of the story.
The tale is not likely to be earlier than the 17th century and many variants are known from different countries.[3]

- Sophie Kahn wrote an adaptation of this story told from the point of view of the oldest sister, Rose, titled "Dancing Through the Night" - it can be found on http://figment.com/books/478183-Dancing-through-the-night
- Jeanette Winterson varies and adds to this tale in Sexing the Cherry, in which the old soldier is a prince with 11 brothers, each of which marries a sister except the youngest, who escapes before her wedding to the prince.
- In Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses, Barbie plays the role of the seventh sister, Genevieve.
- It was a storybook and cassette in the Once Upon a Time Fairy Tale series.
- In 1978, a made-for-TV retelling of the story was directed by Ben Rea, featuring Jim Dale, Freddie Jones, and Gloria Grahame. Significant changes were made to the story.
- It was retold in literature as Walter de la Mare's Told Again and Tales Told Again and in Robin McKinley's The Door in the Hedge.
- Patricia A. McKillip wrote an adaptation for the anthology A Wolf at the Door. It has a few variations, the most significant being that the princes who the princesses were spending their nights dancing with were actually dead, and planning to take the princesses away from the mortal world forever the night after the soldier reveals what the princesses were doing.
- The children's television show, Super Why!, included an episode called "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" (Season 1. Episode 21, April 7, 2008). In this adaptation, the king asks the Super Readers to find out where his daughters are disappearing to each night. When their secret is discovered, the princesses confess to the Super Readers that they have been planning a surprise party for their father, which everyone gets to attend.
- Nancy Madore's erotic novel The Twelve Dancing Princesses focuses on twelve princesses who are already married to twelve princes. Unlike the original fairy tale, the dancing is only done in their dreams (although somehow the shoes still wear out in reality). A wizard determines that the dancing is due to the discontent in each of the princesses sex lives. And when the problem is solved, the dancing stops. The problems include such common issues as the husband neglecting the wife's desires, the wife's feelings of self-consciousness, and fear that religious beliefs prevent the enjoyment of sex.
- Suzanne Weyn's novel The Night Dance retells the story, intertwining it with Arthurian legend. Here the princesses are not princesses but daughters to Vivienne, better known as the Lady of the Lake, who bore twelve daughters to her mortal husband before becoming imprisoned in a frozen lake.
- The Juliet Marillier novel Wildwood Dancing gives a retelling set in Transylvania, mixed with traditional Transylvanian folk tales. The underground kingdom they dance in is the fairy kingdom, to which they have gained entrance by the grace of the Witch of the Wood.
- Jessica Day George's novel Princess of the Midnight Ball is a retelling with the twist that the princesses are cursed to dance every night for an evil sorcerer, the King Under Stone.
- Diane Zahler's novel "The Thirteenth Princess" retells the story from the youngest, and thirteenth, princess Zita.
- The television series Faerie Tale Theatre had an episode entitled "The Dancing Princesses". There were six princesses as opposed to twelve, but otherwise the story remains the same.
- The anime series Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics, features a twist within the story (with the princesses being reduced to 3). It turns out demons live within the magical place and have placed a spell on the fair maidens before the soldier realizes the truth and rescues them. He marries the eldest daughter. In this version, the failed suitors are sent to prison instead of executed.
- The musical Metaphasia is a retelling by Paul Collette, Gary Fritzen and Robert Wright. The princesses in this retelling are all of different characteristics and descent. For example, there is a New York princess, a ballerina princess, and Asian princess.
- There is also a modern day version, Regina Doman's The Midnight Dancers.
- Heather Dixon's novel, "Entwined", retells the story from the point of view of Azalea, the oldest of the 12 sisters.
- "~ Slipperzzzz ~ The Torrid Tale of Cobb and the 12 Dancing Princesses",[4] a comedy adventure-romance song and dance musical theater script by Jeannette Jaquish, differs from the original fairy tale in that it is a young shoemaker, Cobb, who rescues an old woman from bandits and receives an invisibility cloak, the princes who fall asleep go to the mop closet that has "Dungeon" written on it, and the father of the Underworld Princes is the King's deceitful Grand Vizier. The Old Woman plays a key role in the princesses' rescue as well.
- Jim Weiss narrates a more child-friendly version of this story on his audio CD Best Loved Stories. In this version, the protagonist is portrayed as an unwitting war hero, and is offered milk, not wine, by the princesses. Failed attempts at discovering the princesses' secret results in banishment from the kingdom instead of death. Finally, the protagonist, named Carl Gustav in this version, chooses the youngest daughter ("Rosebud") and to be the steward of all of the King's gardens rather than choosing the oldest to become heir to the throne.
- Theo Burbank created a 10 minute play based on the fable during her senior year of high school at the Waring School of Beverly, Massachusetts. The play featured the eldest sister, Minerva, the youngest, Maisie, and the protagonist war hero: Lieutenant Finnegan (affectionately called "Finn" by Maisie). The play takes place the day of Minerva and Finnegan's wedding. Finnegan is dressing in his bedroom when Maisie enters. It is revealed that Finnegan and Maisie are actually better lovers than Finnegan and Minerva (Maisie having been the one secretly dancing with him the night he discovered them). The play ends with a shellshocked Minerva ambiguously finding out their secret. Maisie and Finnegan swing dance, Finnegan and Minerva do a very controlled (by the strict Minerva) version of the "I've Had The Time of My Life" dance from Dirty Dancing.
- Genevieve Valentine's novel, "The Girls at the Kingfisher Club," is a novel-length reimagining of the fairytale that is set in New York City in the Jazz Age. The twelve sisters are kept in the upper story of their father's brownstone because he is embarrassed at his failure to produce a male heir.

FINDLAY, OH (Toledo News Now) - Four buildings in Dorney Plaza will soon be demolished, leaving historic downtown Findlay with a vacant lot.
Back in August 2007, flood waters created lasting problems in four historic buildings.
"The cost to restore these buildings and make them habitable exceeds the value of the buildings they are filled with mold and interior damage from the flood that just cannot be rectified," said Hancock County Commissioner Dr. Emily Walton.
Commissioners decided to tear the buildings down because of that damage.
"It's such a health hazard because of the mold issue it should be torn down," said Debbie Fraunfelter, who works at Red Wings Shoes across the street, and is glad to see the buildings go.
The buildings are in the heart of downtown, on Main Street, and knocking them down will create a vacant lot in the historic district. That is why commissioners must sign a covenant promising anything built will be a good fit for the area.
"It can't be just some box at some commercial restaurant it, it has to be something that would meet the department of interiors standards and guidelines for historic preservation," said the Director of the Hancock Planning Commission Bil Hompka.
As a part of the covenant, FEMA granted the project nearly $60,000 towards demolition and rebuilding. No date has been set for demolition to start and so far there are no immediate plans for the area. But commissioners say new buildings will be positive for the city.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Doron Lamb hit a 3-pointer with 3:18 left to put No. 1 Kentucky ahead to stay, and the Wildcats took a big step toward a Southeastern Conference regular-season title by beating Vanderbilt 69-63 Saturday night for their 17th straight win.
Kentucky (25-1, 11-0) disrupted Vanderbilt with aggressive defense in the first half, and the Wildcats held off a furious charge in a sold-out and electric Memorial Gym by scoring the final eight points of the game.
Lamb finished with 16 points, Anthony Davis added 15 points and seven blocks, Terrence Jones scored 14 and Marquis Teague had 13.
Vanderbilt (17-8, 6-4) led 63-61 with 4:08 to go on a 3-pointer by Brad Tinsley. The Commodores didn't score again and snapped a four-game home winning streak over No. 1 teams.
John Jenkins led Vanderbilt with 15 points, and Jeffery Taylor, Tinsley and Festus Ezeli added 13 each.

The city of Richmond is considering leasing out one of the city's historic parks to an outside group. City leaders say it's part of a 6 million dollar plan to breathe new life into Monroe Park. The final details are being worked out in a proposal that would create a public/private partnership.
It is the oldest public park in the city of Richmond. Now, a plan that's been years in the making to bring upgrades to Monroe Park could soon be finalized.
"I would like for it to be a little more vibrant," said Tina Roberts.
She works across the street at Grace and Holy Trinity.
"I see what's going on over there every day," Roberts said.
She's noticed a need for improvements.
"I think they need more light in there. I've been here for services at night and it's kind of dark in some parts of the park. That might deter people from coming in and walking around," she said.
That's one of several goals a non-profit group plans to address, part of a proposed partnership with the city of Richmond. The city has allocated 3 million to restoration efforts. The non-profit would match that.
"Improvement for an area that sounds like it needs it and someone else coming up with the money so that's a good thing," said Jim Mallon who also works nearby.
Organizers want to add bathrooms here, build a cafe, step up security, and address lighting concerns.
"I'm all for upgrading the city of Richmond," Mallon added.
But parts of the plan are drawing criticism. One of the concerns, will an outside group come in and create new rules that could kick out the homeless?
"Every weekend, every Sunday morning, Saturday morning, in the evenings, in the afternoons, I'd hate to see that disappear from here because our church is associated with feeding the homeless…I don't want the homeless to leave," Roberts said.
"It's important because the homeless don't have anywhere to go most of the time," Mallon said.
It's a delicate issue - organizers say they have heard loud and clear. This as the non-profit prepares to move forward, paying one dollar a year for a 30 year period to revive Monroe.
"It would be a lot better if there were more things going," Roberts said.
Alice Massie is with the non-profit spearheading the initiative. She compares it to a school building. She says when there's a new state of the art facility, everyone wants to attend. But when there's a dilapidated building, no one does. She said renovations would begin as soon as they raise the extra 3 million dollars.
"{I'm} in favor of leveraging public funds to double the investment and make the park welcoming to all," Council President Charles Samuels said.
The Council is expected to vote on the plan early next year.

Simplicity Parenting – What It is and Why More Parents Are Changing the Way They Raise Their Kids
Posted by: Ellen
This topic has occupied my mind for years! Thank you for starting a movement that parents so desperately need! It is difficult for young parents to NOT get caught up in the overscheduled lifestyle. No well-meaning parent wants their child to miss any opportunity for healthy enrichment, but too much is counterproductive! Although my children are teenagers now, I would have LOVED to hear your words of wisdom when my family craved downtime!

Check_mk 1.0.38 for Web Admin, Backup and Simulation
Mathias Kettner has released his check_mk Nagios plugin in version 1.0.38. New features include a Web-based admin tool, a backup function and a simulation mode.
The check_mk plugin for large Nagios installations adds a small Web app component in the new release. It brings the Multiadmin tool to the Web that enables and disables checks and notifications, acknowledges service problems and schedules downtimes.
Also new is the backup and restore mechanism. The
check_mk --backup
command secures local configuration and runtime data, independent of path or file ownership, to the
directory in a tarball. The
option deletes files not contained in the backup.
The third new feature is a simulation mode whereby target hosts are never contacted during the test run, allowing for drun runs of check_mk installations. It is enabled by setting
in the main.mk file.
Kettner also fixed some bugs and modified a few more details for check_mk. Information along with GPL source code, Debian and RPM packages are on his check_mk project page.

Editor's Note: This is the second in a series of blog posts from UMaine's Climate Change Institute, which is currently conducting fieldwork in the Alaska Range. Seth Campbell, a University of Maine graduate student pursuing his Ph.D. through UMaine's Climate Change Institute and Department of Earth Sciences, is leading an expedition with several other researchers in Denali National Park in Alaska. This will be his fifth field season in Denali.
We just returned from our short field season on the Traleika and Muldrow Glaciers, where we collected ice depth data and measured glacier velocity at locations that Denali National Park and Preserve scientists have maintained during the past several years.
We were picked up by the park helicopter around 3:30 p.m. today (May 2) and transported back to Kahiltna Base Camp where we are staging our next two weeks of field work primarily on the Kahiltna Glacier. Curtis, Lyndsey and I met three of our other field researchers (Brad Markle, Adam Toolanen and Dave Silverstone) at base camp today and we plan to depart up-glacier tomorrow morning. During the next three days, we will place stakes in the glacier between 7,400 and 10,000 feet above sea level and measure the location of each stake with a GPS system. We will re-measure the stake locations at the end of the field season to determine ice flow velocities at each stake site. We will also collect some images of the internal structure and depth of ice on the upper Kahiltna Glacier using ground-penetrating radar (GPR), so that we can estimate the amount of ice flowing past a given point per unit time (called ice volume flux).
As far as weather, two days of snow and one day of poor visibility and cloudy conditions on the north side of the mountain (Muldrow and Traleika glaciers) certainly slowed our work down and we spent much time tent-bound waiting out the 16 inches of fresh snow. Once the snow cleared we had minus 20 or colder temperatures to contend with last night into this morning. As I write this today, I think we are dropping down to minus 20 again tonight. At these temperatures, field work becomes much slower during the day and we usually wait until the sun is fully in the sky to take advantage of any warmth we can. I currently have several batteries in my sleeping bag to keep them warm. When we travel and just prior to collecting data, I usually have any cables that work as part of the radar system within my jacket to keep them warm and flexible. The cold makes every delicate piece of equipment all the more breakable, so slow and deliberate use of the equipment and little tricks with the equipment (such as hand warmers on the batteries of the radar system during operation) can make all the difference between collecting field data and coming home empty-handed.
The north side of the mountain also has a very different character than the south side. The north sits in the snow/rain shadow, so the region is much drier than the south-facing Alaska Range. Besides the drier conditions, wildlife seemed a bit more abundant considering the Muldrow sits on the edge of the Arctic tundra. We heard a group of wolves howling on the ridge off to the north of the Muldrow one night; we followed tracks of what may have been a marten on another; and had several species of birds (which are also common on the south side of Denali) fly past us and visit camp for a quick stop within the tent vestibule to warm up from the cold before moving on.
We are all in good spirits. A good round of mixed-berry pancakes and bacon for dinner (we know, usually a breakfast item!) with some hot Gatorade closed out the evening. The sleeping bags are all full of hot water bottles to keep us warm through the night. We were able to charge some batteries up with the solar power systems this evening. We all hope for sunny and a bit warmer weather tomorrow as we start to move up glacier for the second round of our research this season. More to come in a few days!

The skills of usability analysts are crucial to software success, so mastery of these skills is essential. This study presents a methodology for teaching and measuring usability evaluation skills of graduate students using the constructivist theory, diaries, checklists, and final reports. As part of the study, students spent 4 months as active participants in Second Life, an online virtual world. In the end, most students had a manageable amount of measurable usability evaluation skills in that they could identify a number of heuristic problems with the Second Life software. A smaller number of students had a greater amount of skill; they could explain a heuristic problem with the software and then explain why it was problematic.
Practitioners Take Away
Both the constructivist approach to teaching and measuring usability evaluative skills using the methodology discussed in this study contributed to the following lessons learned:
- Teach usability evaluation skills in one semester.
- Utilize students as evaluators from the unique perspective of users.
- Allow for students to obtain a deep understanding not only of usability evaluation skills but of their own learning process.
- Provide some structure for the diaries, even if it is no more than day and date headings, otherwise students will make up their own, which may or may not be useful for your purposes.

Heineman: Lt. Governor appointment a few weeks away
Governor Dave Heineman says it will be a few weeks before he appoints someone to fill the vacant Lt. Governor's position following the resignation of Rick Sheehy Saturday.
Heineman also told reporters it is "very unlikely" he will choose someone that would also be running for Governor in 2014, emphasizing he wants the primary to be "competitive" and allow the process to choose who should be the nominee on either political side.
Heineman says his focus this week is on the Revenue Committee hearings regarding his tax reform proposals, so it will provide some time for him to hear from those who are interested in being Sheehy's successor. Heineman believes he will have twelve to fifteen names to consider, will likely inerview two or three and then name a successor.
Heineman said constitutionally he cannot appoint a sitting state senator during the legislative session.

Beeba Kooner is a registered nurse in the state of Florida. Her father, Dr. Karanjit Kooner, an ORBIS Volunteer Faculty member, invited her to spend one week volunteering with ORBIS in Lanzhou, China with the ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital (FEH). This was Beeba's first experience on the FEH.
My name is Beeba Kooner. My father is an ophthalmologist and has been a volunteer for ORBIS for nearly two decades. In May 2012, I volunteered with ORBIS for the first time and traveled with him to Lanzhou, China. I was very excited to be a part of something my dad spoke so highly about.
The first day, all the volunteers and staff ophthalmologists performed screening consultations to decide who would be good candidates for surgery. It was when I walked into the local eye hospital and saw what seemed like 100 people packed into a tiny hallway that I realized how great the need was for services provided by organizations like ORBIS.
The next day I saw, for the very first time, the Flying Eye Hospital. As staff ran about organizing and setting up the equipment, I marveled at how many countries this airplane visited and how many lives this organization has touched. For the next two days, my dad gave lectures to the doctors and medical students associated with the Lanzhou University Second Hospital and performed surgeries both on the ORBIS plane and at the local hospital.
Something different was going on in every section of the plane. In the front, lectures were given to students and doctors. There were also rooms dedicated to surgery, sterilization, and recovery. Although the plane was divided, the camaraderie and companionship among the ORBIS staff was consistent. The team acted like a family and the genuineness of their relationships positively affected the treatment of their patients. Each patient was cared for with sincere concern and everyone did their best to keep them and their families comfortable. The staff was exceptional, and although they were probably tired and home sick, their passion for helping others paralleled the "vision" behind ORBIS.
The last day was dedicated to post-op visits. My father operated on a young girl who had a serious case of congenital glaucoma and who, before the surgery, had never opened her eyes. During our last visit, her eyes were bright, open, and happy. To witness this transformation was so touching, and I am incredibly grateful to have been there to see this change.
I completely underestimated the work ORBIS does in changing the lives of others. I knew this organization went to different countries and performed services to help families that couldn't always afford the care they needed. What I did not know was how much ORBIS did for those that did not have eye diseases. The lectures provided for the students and doctors gave them the latest knowledge and skills to improve healthcare for their patients. Furthermore, the surgeries performed gave more than improved eyesight to patients; it gave them the renewed hope to live out their dreams and have a future. For the patient's families, the ORBIS program and staff renewed their faith, and the gratitude I saw in their eyes was indescribable. Although I do not know Chinese, the language of happiness is universal, and I saw this joy in patients, families, and ORBIS staff alike.
I believe ORBIS Volunteer Faculty and staff are "called" into this field and circumstance of work. It takes dedication and genuine kindness to spend most of your time and energy traveling, being away from home, and unconditionally giving yourself in the way that they do. Perhaps ORBIS is the answer to their "calling", and in their heart, they know that the work they do and the lives they change are their purpose in life and exactly where they belong. The efforts which I have seen my father and other ORBIS Volunteer Faculty put in have inspired me to one day take part in the life changing work they do.

**Press Release From City Of Spokane**
SPOKANE, Wash. - Spokane Police Department Officer Barry O'Connell will serve a three-week suspension, as a result of an incident in April. In that incident, O'Connell's young daughter shot herself with his service weapon at his home.
Interim Police Chief Scott Stephens concluded that O'Connell failed to comply with an SPD policy requiring officers to secure their duty weapons at home and civil service rules that specify officers can't be willfully careless or negligent with City property or engage in actions that might reasonably be expected to result in loss or injury to the City, the public, or prisoners or wards of the City.
O'Connell also will be required to participate in an educational video about gun safety. Additionally, the discipline action also stipulates that an additional incident involving poor judgment will lead to termination.

WTC tower declared tallest building in US
An expert committee declares New York's new World Trade Centre tower the tallest building in the United States.PT1M7S http://www.canberratimes.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2xf28 620 349 November 13, 2013

New York: For the first time in nearly 40 years, America's largest city is home to America's tallest building.
One World Trade Centre, at 451 metres, is indeed taller than the Willis Tower in Chicago, which measures 442 metres. That judgment was delivered by the official arbiter of structural stature, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.
While comparing the heights of two office buildings may sound like child's play, the decision was not so simple, according to Timothy Johnson, the chairman of the council. The measuring was complicated by the long mast that stands atop the trade centre tower.

Without that mast, the new skyscraper in Lower Manhattan is indisputably shorter than the Willis Tower, which had been the tallest building in the country since it was completed - and named the Sears Tower - in 1974. But the mast, which New Yorkers call a spire but Chicagoans see as a mere antenna, adds about 122 metres to the trade centre building, which is scheduled to open next year.
Mr Johnson said there was plenty of discussion about the purpose of the mast when the 25 members of the council's height committee met on Friday in Chicago. In order to be counted as part of the building, the mast had to be deemed a permanent part of the architectural expression of the building.
The chief architect of 1 World Trade Centre, David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, told the committee that the mast should be counted, in part, because the building was designed with the intention of having the symbolic height of 1,776 feet (541 metres), a reference to the year of the United States declaration of independence.

The One World Trade Centre is built on the site of the original World Trade Centre, whose iconic twin towers were toppled in the September 11, 2001 attack.
Neither skyscraper comes close to the world record, which is held by the 830-metre-high Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

After a warmer than usual winter and an early rainy season, mosquitoes are out in full force in Georgia right now. Mosquitoes breed best in humid and wet climates, especially in locations with ample standing water. You can expect to see a dramatic increase in the mosquito population as temperatures and humidity levels rise.
Massey Services, the nation's fifth largest pest prevention company, offers these tips to help you prepare for and avoid mosquitoes this season:
- Make sure all windows and doors in your home are closed tightly and that screens are well-sealed to prevent mosquitoes from getting inside.
- Avoid working or playing outdoors at dawn or dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
- When you are outdoors, wear insect repellant that includes DEET as an active product.
- Discard water on a weekly basis from any item in your back yard such as toys, bird baths, pools and potted plants.
- Clear gutters and drains to prevent the accumulation of stagnant water.
"When enough rainwater floods an area, mosquito eggs hatch and larvae develop into adults rapidly, taking flight in a matter of days," said Adam Jones, VP of Quality Assurance at Massey Services. "It's best to prepare your home and backyard now to prevent mosquito infestations."
There are more than 50 species of mosquitoes in Georgia alone, several of which are capable of transmitting diseases in animals. Although mosquito-borne diseases don't currently pose a threat to humans in Georgia, the risk of infection is always apparent. If you suspect you have a mosquito infestation at your home or want to protect it from future attacks, call a professional service for accurate control methods.
