Martin Professional has announced its aim to double its output, from 2000 levels, by 2005. This ambitious goal will require top-of-the-line manufacturing facilities, such as Happy Factory, which Martin opened last fall in Fredrikshavn, Denmark. It is a sleekly designed building that boasts a number of exceptional amenities. After a visit, the rather odd name — there's even a sign out front featuring a smiling factory — seems justified.
Designed as a facility where Martin's highest quality products, such as the MAC 600 and MAC 2000, are to be built, Happy Factory covers 130,000 sq. ft. of space. Approximately 170 workers are employed there, bringing much-needed employment to Fredrikshavn, where the local fishing industry has suffered in recent years. In other Martin factories, teams of workers pool their efforts, working together as a group to build each individual unit. Here, the traditional assembly line is given a state-of-the-art twist.
In order to ensure a smooth flow of work, the Martin team has come up with a highly original parts-retrieval system. All necessary parts are stored in 42,000 plastic cartons, each of which is marked with a bar code. The cartons are stored in three towering aisles. At the beginning of the shift, workers enter into a computer the number and model of units they are scheduled to build that day. Three robots, one for each aisle, then peruse the inventory shelves, retrieving the correct cartons by reading the bar codes. (An interesting side note: The products are stored in entirely random fashion. That way, if one of the robots breaks down, the others will still have access to all necessary parts. The robots also work at night, when the factory is closed, rearranging boxes on the shelves to ensure the random order is maintained.) With this rapid automated system at work, it is possible for a new MAC 2000 to be assembled every few minutes.
Architecturally, Happy Factory is in line with other Martin facilities, favoring soaring, open spaces with lots of natural light rather than the low ceilings, cubicles, and clutter that one finds in so many other companies in this industry. At 5pm, after the work day is over, the building's architectural lighting comes on, and the space is transformed. Much of the interior features theatrical-style trussing used as architectural details, and the trussing is bathed in saturated colors from Martin moving lights. The view from the nearby road at night is of a glittering glass box filled with ever-changing colors.
Given its expansive interior, social uses are being found for Happy Factory as well. For example, the venue played host to Martin's annual sales conference, March 9-10. More than 40 Martin distributors, subsidiaries, and affiliated companies from around the globe attended the event, which included seminars, a gala dinner, and awards show, with entertainment provided by members of Martin staff. Prize winners at the event included ASL, Switzerland (Jem Distributor of the Year); Ecler, Spain (Mach Distributor of the Year); Martin Hong Kong (Martin Lighting Distributor of the Year); Musikos Expresas, Lithuania (DJ/Club Distributor of the Year); Show Technology, Austria (Stage, Studio, and Event Distributor of the Year); Martin Canada (Best MAC 2000 Sales); Martin US (Subsidiary of the Year, Entertainment and Architectural); A&T Trade, Russia (Best Effort, Architectural); Panou, Greece (Architectural Distributor of the Year); and Fairlight, Holland (Distributor of the Year).

text: Traverse City, MI (WGR 550) -- The Sabres prospects failed to repeat as champions of the annual Traverse City Tournament as Buffalo fell to the prospects from the Detroit Red Wings, 4-2. Buffalo had a rough go from the start as they gave up two power play goals in the first two periods to Wings forward Anthony Mantha. Trailing 2-0 in the third they did manage to cut the lead in half with a Freddy Roy goal to make it 2-1. That was short lived however, as Detroit's Zach Nastasiuk scored to put the Wings back up by two goals. That goal was followed by a Pete Trainor tally to cut it to 3-2 with 6:40 remaining, but in the end the Wings' Tomas Jurco put home an empty netter to clinch it, 4-2. Buffalo's Nathan Lieuwen stopped 36 of 40 shots as the Sabres got outshot 40-25. Despite the loss, Sabres Coach Chadd Cassidy was impressed with the effort of his team, saying afterwards, "I really liked our compete level from the beginning, I felt like this group of kids worked really hard and they were really committed to what they were trying to do" The Sabres open training camp Wednesday, although the team still has not released a schedule.

The word chakra is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning wheel. If we were able to see the chakras (as many psychics, in fact, do) we would observe a wheel of energy continuously revolving or rotating. Clairvoyants perceive chakras as colorful wheels or flowers with a hub in the center. The chakras begin at the base of the spine and finish at the top of the head. Though fixed in the central spinal column they are located on both the front and back of the body, and work through it.
Each chakra vibrates or rotates at a different speed. The root or first chakra rotates at the slowest speed, the crown or seventh chakra at the highest speed. Each chakra is stimulated by its own and complimentary color, and a range of gemstones for specific uses. The chakra colors are of the rainbow; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The size and brightness of the wheels vary with individual development, physical condition, energy levels, disease, or stress.
If the chakras are not balanced, or if the energies are blocked, the basic life force will be slowed down. The individual may feel listless, tired, out of sorts, or depressed. Not only will physical bodily functions be affected so diseases may manifest, but the thought processes and the mind may also be affected. A negative attitude, fear, doubt, etc. may preoccupy the individual.
A constant balance between the chakras promotes health and a sense of well being. If the chakras are opened to much, a person could literally short circuit themselves with too much universal energy going through the body. If the chakras are closed, this does not allow for the universal energy to flow through them properly which may also lead to dis-ease.
Most of us react to unpleasant experiences by blocking our feeling and stopping a great deal of our natural energy flow. This affects the maturation and development of the chakras. Whenever a person blocks whatever experience he is having, he in turn blocks his chakras, which eventually become disfigured. When the chakras are functioning normally, each will be open, spinning clockwise to metabolize the particular energies needed from the universal energy field.
As already mentioned any imbalances that exist within any chakra may have profound effects upon either our physical or emotional bodies. We are able to use our quartz crystals and gemstones to re-balance all our chakric centers and once the chakra has been properly balanced then our body will gradually return to normal.
The reason why crystals and gemstones are wonderful and powerful healing tools are because of what science calls its piezoelectric effect. (You can see this effect in the modern quartz watches). Crystals and gemstones respond to the electricity that is coursing through our body, and if the energy is sluggish, the constant electrical vibrations of the stones will help to harmonize, balance, and stimulate these energies.
First Chakra - RootStudying the individual chakras begins with the root chakra, called Muladhara in Sanskrit. The root chakra is located at the base of the spine at the tailbone in back, and the pubic bone in front. This center holds the basic needs for survival, security and safety. The root chakra is powerfully related to our contact with the Earth Mother, providing us with the ability to be grounded into the earth plane. This is also the center of manifestation. When you are trying to make things happen in the material world, business or material possessions, the energy to succeed will come from the first chakra. If this chakra is blocked an individual may feel fearful, anxious, insecure and frustrated. Problems like obesity, anorexia nervosa, and knee troubles can occur. Root body parts include the hips, legs, lower back and sexual organs. The colors used for this chakra are red, brown and black. The gemstones are Garnet, Smoky Quartz, Obsidian, and Black Tourmaline.
NOTE: A man¹s sexual organs are located primarily in his first chakra, so male sexual energy is usually experienced primarily as physical. A women's sexual organs are located primarily in her second chakra, so female sexual energy is usually experienced primarily as emotional. Both chakras are associated with sexual energy

With incredible graphics, stellar gameplay, and an engaging story, Far Cry: Instincts stands proud as a testament to how good a game can be.
Far Cry Instincts not only equals its PC cousin but actually manages to better it.
The island setting is realistic enough to make you start to sweat from the heat, and the advanced AI makes for some exciting action. It's just one of those games that is experienced as much as it is played.
Far Cry Instincts offers something new to the FPS genre with its feral abilities and expertly-crafted open level design. Combined with the map editor and creative multiplayer modes it comes highly recommended.
With games like Far Cry Instincts and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, it's quite obvious that developers are just now starting to truly take advantage of the Xbox, and it's kind of sad to see it go so soon.
Cars, boats, guns, stealth, traps, super-strength, scent-vision - it's crowded, but its density is actually our delight, because while it may not play as strategically or controllably as something like "Halo," or as evocatively and inventively as something like "Half-Life 2," it's still atmospheric, involving, and empowering.
Instincts had quite a bit going for it (good graphics, comfortable controls, unique setting) but then does a great job of screwing it all up and making you not care (repetitive levels, stupid enemy designs, slight unfinished feel in places).

Hansen, Murphy and Smesko Earn A-Sun Postseason Awards
FORT MYERS, Fla. – After winning the Atlantic Sun regular season championship for the second time in four years, the FGCU women's basketball team earned a few more honors on Tuesday. The conference announced their postseason honors and awards, with FGCU taking home four awards.
FGCU earned its fourth first team selection in program history as senior Shannon Murphy (Brighton, Mich./Brighton HS) followed up her second team selection last season by averaging a team-best 4.3 assists and 2.1 steals and ranking second on the Eagles in scoring (12.3). Murphy, who sits second all-time in scoring in program history with 1,123 points, also ranked in the top-15 in the A-Sun in three-point percentage (.335) and assist-to-turnover ratio (.1.50). The senior captain scored in double figures 20 times this season, leading the Eagles in scoring in eight contests.
Redshirt-freshman Sarah Hansen (McKean, Pa./General McLane HS), a three-time A-Sun Newcomer of the Week and MVP of the 2010 Caribbean Challenge, earned second team All-Atlantic Sun and All-Freshmen team honors, helping the Eagles secure their eighth 21-plus win season in the nine year program history. Hansen, who led the A-Sun and ranked 38th in the nation in field goal percentage (.520), is the first freshman in FGCU history to lead the team in scoring (13.1) and rebounding (6.1). The chemistry major scored in double figures 19 times this season, led the Eagles in rebounding on 14 occasions and in scoring in nine contests.
FGCU's Karl Smesko claimed a regular season conference crown for the second time in the program's existence as his squad amassed a 17-3 conference mark earning him Coach of the Year. The Eagles, who own the nation's third longest home winning streak (38 games), behind UConn and Stanford, have earned their fourth automatic WNIT bid in as many years of eligibility.
"It is good to see Shannon and Sarah receive All Conference recognition," said Smesko. "It is well deserved. They have had very good seasons, and in Shannon's case a great career. Although individual recognitions are nice, I think we as a team agree that the conference honor we are most proud of is being Atlantic Sun Champions.
The Atlantic Sun Conference is an 11-member league committed to Building Winners for Life. The A-Sun stands for achievement with integrity in both the academic and athletic arenas, with a focus on the balance between the two for our student-athletes. Headquartered in Macon, Ga., the A-Sun boasts six of the top eight media markets in the Southeast. The A-Sun includes a blend of the most prestigious and dynamic private and public institutions in the region: Belmont University, Campbell University, East Tennessee State University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Jacksonville University, Kennesaw State University, Lipscomb University, Mercer University, University of North Florida, University of South Carolina Upstate and Stetson University.

Passing Public Option Via Reconciliation Gathers Steam
by Charles Lemos, Fri Feb 19, 2010 at 10:05:56 AM EST
The effort to bring the public option up for a vote continues to gather steam in the wake of the Bennet Letter written by Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado - and orginally co-signed by Senator Kristen Gillibrand of New York, Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio and Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon - to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid urging him to use the reconciliation process. Eighteen Democratic Senators have now signed the letter. Those who have signed on are Senator Barbara Boxer of California, Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, Senator Al Franken of Minnesota, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Senator Pat Leahy of Vermont, Senator Jack Reed of Rhode Island, Senator Tom Udall of New Mexico, Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, Senator Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, Senator Roland Burris of Illinois and Senator Chuck Schumer of New York.
The other development overnight is a bit of a mixed bag. Appearing on MSNBC's Rachel Maddow show last night, Health & Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said that the White House is willing to make a push for the public option if Senate Democrats decide to bring it up for a vote.
"Certainly. If it's part of the decision of the Senate leadership to move forward, absolutely," she told Rachel Maddow.
While welcomed, it is not exactly the strongest display of leadership. This I will if you will is passing the buck to Harry Reid when it should be the President that leads. Still, it perhaps merits taking a wait and see approach. The New York Times reports this morning that the Administration will put forward comprehensive health care legislation intended to bridge differences between Senate and House Democrats ahead of a summit meeting with Republicans next week.
Democratic officials said the president's proposal was being written so that it could be attached to a budget bill as a way of averting a Republican filibuster in the Senate. The procedure, known as budget reconciliation, would let Democrats advance the bill with a simple majority rather than a 60-vote supermajority.
Congressional Democrats, however, have not yet seen the proposal or signed on.
The House and the Senate each adopted a version of sweeping health care legislation late last year. But efforts to combine the measures stalled after a Republican, Scott Brown, won a special Senate election in Massachusetts on Jan. 19, effectively stripping the Democrats of the 60th vote they needed to overcome Republican filibusters.
"It will be a reconciliation bill," one Democratic aide said. "If Republicans don't come with any substantial offers, this is what we would do."
Officials said that the White House would post the president's plan on the Internet by Monday morning. But even as Mr. Obama tries to unite his party behind a single plan, it is unclear that Democrats can muster the needed votes in the House and the Senate given the tense political climate of a midterm election year.
Monday thus looms large. It may be a make or break day for the Administration and the progressive movement. Should the White House fail to show leadership on this, it may be time to take full stock of Administration that is long on rhetoric but short on delivery.

Hey, If you are a local, and I mean a knuckle-draggin' plaid shirt wearin' subaru drivin' local...this is your place!
If not stay away! For locals only!
Good selection of IPA's from Washington state. Comfortable seating if you like to drink with inbred neighbors.
Couches, tables, pool table bar seating available.
The prices seemed fair at least.
There must be better places than this for hanging out. I was staying over near Sea-Tac Airport and this place was recommended. I just want to warn people that driving a few miles more would be my advice.

A friend who lives in Renton took us to The Dog & Pony on our last night in the Seattle are, right before the wife and I had to catch a flight. This is a cozy neighborhood bar, where everyone seems to know each other and you could become a regular after one or two visits.
The bar itself is on the small side, but there are a lot of booths and tables, and even a pool table. I dig the jukebox as well (although I wasn't happy when the bartender turned the volume down, at the request of a regular).
Lots of good beer here, all listed on a chalkboard by the bar (no menus). Heavy on the IPA's, no doubt- there are about ten of them on tap, and 32 taps total. The house beer is a Dog and Pony Double Dry Hopped IPA, brewed by Maritime, and beyond that I saw Pelican Imperial, Ft George North VII Barrel Aged Belgian IPA, Maritime Jolly Roger, Lagunitas Hop Stoopid, Silver City Scotch, Duchesse de Bourgogne... I really wanted to try Hales Barrel Aged Barleywine but they were out. Too bad, I ended up having a bourbon (they offer one single bourbon: Bulleit).
Service nice, great personable bartender and the joint really is warm and comfortable. I can't say I was the biggest fan of this bar but I will certainly come back next time I am in Renton visiting our friend.

The reviews on here aren't very recent. I reviewed it about 4 years ago and rated it way better. But...
There was some drama and a change of ownership, sort of.
They still have a really great tap list most days but they're really disorganized. They have great accounts with distributors so they can still put on rare beers. But some days you walk in and 25-40% of the taps are empty 'cause no one has changed them over. Other days you walk in and there's 10 great IPAs a couple Belgians and a nice variety of Stouts/Pales/Lagers for every palate.
I'm rooting for them. I honestly am. But I see the day coming when I don't go here unless they put out a Facebook post about a keg of something I really want. I won't just pop in to see what's on tap.

Wow since my move from Vegas. I have been on the hunt for my new beer hangout.
Not to far from Boeing and real close to tons of shopping this 10 year old bar has it's spot. I walked in an noticed around 35 taps. But when you see Consecration on TAP. They have to be doing something right. Also had a very tasty Airways IPA.
SERVICE- Was as good as you can get. prompt ,courteous, and just down right good people. I also was amazed on how well the locals treat a newcomer.
FOOD- I had a blue cheese burger( big patty) . very enjoyable.
Will be going back many times. Probably tonight !!!

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. Not to crowded. 5 or so people at the L shaped bar tucked into a corner along the back wall of the place. People were friendly at the bar and staf was nice too. Today this was IPA Sunday or something but haflt the taps were IPA/IIPA. I filled the ol growler with Glacier IPA and consumed my Harmon Black Tartan IPA and Walking Man Homo Erectus. Ordered some sweet potato fries which were ok. All the beers were good. Food was pub food and no real issues here. Selection was very good, but it was missing some big stouts, porters and a barley wine.

I stopped in while in Seattle on business. I considered driving right past when I saw it but I'm glad I didn't. The location and exterior are anything but impressive but the interior has an inviting, neighborhood bar atmosphere. The decor is mostly beer signs and other paraphernalia. They have a small bar, tables, a pool table in the middle of it all and an outdoor patio area. I stopped in on a Monday evening and there was a great crowd of what appeared to be locals. It wasn't packed but there was a great buzz about it.
They had 20+ on tap with five IPAs including Deschutes Hop Henge. It was mostly northwest and CA beers with some from Belgium and other parts of Europe. I went with a Glacier IPA (based on the bartender's recommendation) and it was fantastic. I'll likely stop by again before I leave.
The Dog & Pony is a great little local with a nice atmosphere and great beer. Check it out.

Dog & Pony is a local place. It's not terribly big, and there's a surprising roster of "regulars" who are apparently so regular that they help out with cleaning up and packing up for the night. Even so, I always feel welcome and well treated.
Every time I've been there, the service has been friendly and fast. The selection is always of high quality (they *always* have something I love on tap, and they *always* have something I haven't tried on tap). The last time I was there, I had a question about one of the taps that the waitress couldn't answer - luckily one of their regulars is a brewer who was able to answer it for me.
So, they're totally into beer. They have a neat little "Wall of Fame" thing in the corner that appears to be a bunch of notes/signatures from different brewers/breweries who have come to visit.
They fill growlers. I think $9 for standard beers; for some beers, they either won't fill a growler or charge a little extra, which is generally fine.
The food is solid (I've gone for dinner more than once), and the menu has character (it's the only menu I've read cover to cover - check it out online and you'll see why).
Dog & Pony is definitely a worthwhile stop.

With a small television in the "bar" and a big screen HD in the dining area, this place can entertain depending the season of sport.
The draft selection initially was "tainted" due to improper cleaning of the lines, but recently I noticed a strong clarity in the flavors coming off the draft. Bottle selection is equally well laid out. Menu of available bottled and draft beer is on a tall chalk board.
The food is pub grub, with such dishes as Oyster Po Boy & BLT Salad. Overall, very enjoyable for anyone vegetarian or omnivore alike.
Additional bonuses, are "Brewer's Nights" and a wall near the patio entrance with names of brewers west coast and abroad with their signatures.
Nothing Dog & Pony about this place.

This old gas station turned ale house has a good atmosphere you can feel when you walk in the door. Parking can be a bit hard to get, but the Metro bus stops at the door!
Having used to live near Renton, this place became my ale house of choice when I hit one of the Whistlestop's 'off' days as as far as service went. Service at the Dog & Pony was always prompt and friendly. Some afternoons I had to elbow my way to the bar as it seemed many patrons like to cloister around it. I myself liked to get my beer and go sit outside in the nice beer-garden. Service was still tops while sitting out there, not having to wait or have to go back in to re-order.
The twenty-something beers were always fresh, and just the right temperature. One Monday I was there and the selection was down to about 12, but if the keg blew out, the beer was free, so no complaints.
I ordered food there three different times, each time wanting the menu's 'Bangers & Mash'. Each time I was told they didn't have any, so I had to mark the food rating down a bit for that. I did enjoy other menu items though, and a basket of their 'chips' goes great with the beer!
The $3.25 pints during happy hour (4PM to 7PM when I was there) is a bargain, with their regular price less by a couple quarters than the Whistlestop. I agree with a statement said by another reviewer... If you're flying into Sea-Tac and can only hit one bar for beer, this is the place to go!

Based on some of the previous BA reviews, I wasn't sure what this place would be like. I was extremely pleased to discover that it is just my kind of place.
Room for a dozen at the bar and about 45 at tables plus an outdoor beer garden for fair weather. Atmosphere is bright with lots of breweriana decorations, seasonal touches (Oktoberfest banners) and local color.
My visit was on a Friday during happy hour. Mostly a blue-collar crowd with lots of Boeing factory workers which is nearby.
Thirty-two beers on tap, although they ran out of three during my visit. Lots more in bottles. No BMC choices but they do serve PBR, Oly and Rainer. The tap beers were mainly Northwest along with imports from Belgium, Germany and England. Guinness-nitro on tap, of course.
There was only one server; a very attractive bartenderess wo also served the talbes. She informed me that at 5pm, three more workers arrived for the evening rush. Service was never an issue. She was very free with samples and advice. Very friendly, too.
Food was mainly appetizers, salads and short-order sandwiches. Well prepared and tasty but nothing extravagant.
I look forward to returning to the Dog and Pony. A very welcoming neighborhood pub.

Yolanda Teran
Yolanda Teran
Department of Education, National Council of Indigenous Women, Quito, Ecuador
Lecturing: The Development of Cultural Awareness
Host: Sisseton Wahpeton Community College, Sisseton, SD
August 2000-August 2002
When Yolanda Teran, a Kichwa Indian from Quito, Ecuador, received a Fulbright grant to be a Scholar-in-Residence at Sisseton Wahpeton Community College in Sisseton, South Dakota, she was very excited. "I felt that I was coming to work with my brothers and my sisters," says Teran, who is national coordinator of indigenous education and culture for the National Council of Indigenous Women in Ecuador. "I was eager to exchange information about our two cultures. I had in my mind that we were all Indians and all the same."
Teran, who earned a master's degree from the University of Leicester in England, has had a stellar academic career in a variety of international set-tings. Yet in Sisseton, she was surprised when she experienced "culture shock" in the cold northern climate and rural setting. The campus is located on the Lake Traverse Reservation, and 75 percent of its students are Native Americans. While she discovered that while there were, indeed, many similarities between the two cultures, there were also important differences. "I think people in the north use more the mind and are more subdued and reticent," she explains. "In the south, we use more the heart. We tend to be more expressive and emotional."
At first, Teran confesses, she felt like an outsider. At the beginning of the 2000 fall semester, in her class on "Growing Up Indian," the students were quiet and didn't react very much. However, she kept reaching out-both in class and in the community-and the cultural differences quickly evaporated.
"When Indian people here see how hard you are working, they come to respect you and will help you get established, but it takes time," notes Teran. "By the end of the term, my class and I felt very comfortable with each other."
The next spring, she taught "Contemporary Issues of Indian Life." In both classes, her goal was to help students understand the significance of culture, cultural identity and multiculturalism. She asked them to compare Dakota and Kichwa cultures. She encouraged them to recover their ancestral roots and to feel proud of being Indians.
"There was a lot of sharing, and they taught me a lot about their culture," she says. "It was interactive learning. They brought music and stories and sang and danced. I went through the sweat lodge purification ceremony, and it had a deep affect on me."
She and her students also discovered that their people face many of the same problems. In both Americas, because of historical circumstances, indigenous people are still "dealing with the culture of shame," Teran observes. "We also have the same problems about land. They are trying to recover their ancestral lands, and we are, too," she states. "Society is changing so quickly that our people feel lost. We want them to be able to retain their values and customs."
Indians from both hemispheres are working hard to recover spirituality, Teran notes. "We believe that is a good way to teach little kids and young people to be proud of their heritage."
Teran's 4-year-old son, Curi Mallqui (which means "Sacred Life"), who was enrolled in a tribal Head Start program, greatly enjoyed Sisseton, she says. "The college and community have been wonderful to me and my son," she adds. They asked her to extend her stay, and so she did by two months.
"I think we've both learned a lot," Teran states. "Most important, I've learned that although there are differences, North and South American Indians have the same faces, the same needs and the same problems. Maybe we can work together to find a common solution to those problems."

My HT Man Cave
My man cave is a basement area that is finished and approx. 26' x 26', not including the wedge where the bar is. The room creates some very challenging accoustics. So I have recently built siw acoustic panels and installed them in srategic locations. This has helped tremendously. However, I still need more to fully tame this room. The only peice of equipment I still have from original set up is the PS3. Everything else has been upgraded/changed in the last year. The PS3 is also the only pieces of equipment I have paid full price for. Everything else is either Polk refurbs, Polk forum buy, demo/display models, Craigslist or Ebay. Saved lots of money with very few issues. Sound is awesome!!!

What would you do with $28-million over six years?
The transportation technical committee has make the recommendation to the Roanoke Valley Area Metropolitan Planning Organization on what to do with the new federal funding. The Roanoke Valley area population has now topped 200,000 - qualifying the region for the extra funding.
Fifteen possible projects - from across the Roanoke Valley are up for discussion including a $12-million project to finish the greenway from Salem to Vinton.
"It's become really important for economic development, because it helps attract the creative class to come here as employees or businesses" said Liz Belcher, the Roanoke Valley Greenway coordinator who says without large chunks of money it could take decades to finish the seven remaining miles for a total of 21 miles of greenway.
"We've been nickeling and diming for a long time. We've done a lot of trail construction in this valley with volunteers, and a lot of grants, and gotten a lot of little money, but to actually get a big chunk of money, to where the localities could say 'Wow, now we can move'," said Belcher.
Roanoke is also asking for money to update 45 traffic signals in downtown.
"Obviously a lot of things have changed in downtown Roanoke since then. We've changed from one-way traffic to 2-way traffic, a lot of residential development and businesses, so the character and nature of type of traffic has changed as well," said Mark Jamison, the Roanoke transportation manager who added the current system is outdated at more than a decade old.
Other projects include an updated parking lot for the bus park and ride off Interstate 81, studies for passenger rail service in downtown Roanoke and adding sidewalks and bike lanes around the area.
The 15 projects come in at $33 million so we're told most should get some kind of funding. The final decision comes in about three weeks.

Airline Deal Turns Into Financial Nightmare For Local Woman
Anna Franklin Charged Multiple Times For 1 Southwest Airlines Ticket
A Chula Vista woman is hoping an airline lives up to its promises to return more than $12,000 to her bank account.
» Sign Up For Breaking News Alerts» Like Us On Facebook» Follow Us On TwitterLast Friday, Anna Franklin had plenty of money in her account when she received an email from Southwest Airlines alerting her to a 50 percent off flight sale. She jumped at the chance to book a cheap flight to visit family in Chicago."I thought it was a great, unbelievable, but it turned out to be a big problem," said Franklin.Instead of only charging her $475 for airfare to Chicago, Franklin and many other customers were charged multiple times. Southwest Airlines blamed the problem on a technical glitch due to an overwhelming response to the sale."I have 51 charges for $228 on my account now," said Franklin.Franklin's checking account is overdrawn, and paperwork she shared with 10News showed her balance with a negative balance in the thousands.The extra charges led to a devastating ripple effect to Franklin's checking account -- 21 pending charges also bounced, including bills."My mortgage payment, my car payment, all kinds of other things that I have on auto-pay," said Franklin. "I'm afraid it's going to affect my credit at this point."10News contacted Southwest Airlines, and a representative said the airline has already started crediting customers for the bogus charges but may be delayed until a bank can process the transaction.A spokeswoman also said the airline would pay for any overdraft fees.Additionally, Southwest has issued $150 vouchers to customers for future travel.In the meantime, Franklin is getting by with what little cash she has."I have $20 dollars to my name right now," said Franklin. "I'm eating oatmeal for lunch."Although Franklin's main concern is to get her financial situation in order, she said she would consider flying with Southwest again if they right this wrong.Southwest Airlines told 10News it has already taken steps to fix its website so this doesn't happen again.

2.6.37 Linux Kernel Available
Linus Torvalds releases the Linux 2.6.37 kernel to the public.
Torvalds announced that the 2.6.37 Linux Kernel is now available for download.
Encouraging people to look over this new Linux Kernel, Torvalds said, "Of course, as usual, I'll probably let 2.6.37 cool for a few days to try to encourage people to look at the release rather than go all crazy with newly merged features in the next tree."
For more information on the 2.6.37 Kernel see the Kernel Newbies website, and on the kernel.org website.

Electric Sunset Radio
Following the breakup of the Olympia, WA-based group Desolation Wilderness, lead singer Nic Zwart began making recordings under the name Electric Sunset. Building, perhaps, on his former band's dreamy, reverb-laden sound, Zwart put together an album's worth of reverberating, auto tune-embellished, synth-washed pop tunes that gave a nod to the Bridal Shop, Miracle Fortress, and Houses. Electric Sunset's self-titled debut full-length was released on K Records in fall 2010. ~ Margaret RegesPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

Whisenhunt: Lindley did a nice job, but no decision on starting QB yet
After all, it was part of the idea that changes would be made if the coach deemed them necessary.
"In looking at where we were, as a team, and we said this going into the bye week that we were going to play guys in spots that we thought gave us a chance to win, and that's what we did," Whisenhunt said at his Monday press conference in Tempe. "We wanted to see if [Lindley] would give us a chance to make some of those plays because we had missed some plays earlier in the game."
Whisenhunt was particularly miffed at Skelton's inability to hit a wide-open Larry Fitzgerald for what would have been a touchdown late in the first quarter. The Cardinals ended up settling for a field goal, and the four-point swing proved to be the difference in the game.
The sixth-round pick out of San Diego State handled himself well Sunday, according to Whisenhunt, even though his stats (9-of-20 for 64 yards) were not exactly impressive.
"He did a nice job I thought in a lot of areas," he said, "managing the game, handling the noise, doing some of the things that you need to do with protection.
"He looked comfortable in the pocket, made some good throws."
Good enough to keep the job? Not exactly.
Whisenhunt said Kevin Kolb is expected to practice some this week, but how much he does depends "on how he handles it physically." And with him nearing a return and Skelton still around, the coach said there is no need to proclaim anyone --- including Lindley --- the starter as his team prepares for the St. Louis Rams.
"We've got to sit down as a staff and look at what we're trying to get done and make that evaluation," Whisenhunt said, adding that he just finished watching film from Sunday's game.
"We're going to do what we think gives us the best chance to win going forward, and that's not something that we have to make the decision right now."

A new study shows that a traumatic brain injury may increase the risk for a stroke, according to NBC News.
Researchers based out of the University of Michigan looked at the records for adults who went to the hospital with some sort of trauma -- both some with head trauma and some without.
Two years after their visit, the risk for suffering a stroke was very low. However, those who had suffered a serious brain injury were more likely to have a stroke than other patients.
More research is needed to establish head trauma as a true stroke risk factor.

Emily Donahoe and Nelson Lee Will Go Back in Time in West Coast Premiere of Maple and Vine
By Kenneth Jones
American Conservatory Theater's West Coast premiere of Jordan Harrison's Maple and Vine, about modern people who escape to the past by joining a group of 1950s reenactors, will play March 29-April 22 in San Francisco.
ACT associate artistic director Mark Rucker stages the play (seen at the Humana Festival and Playwrights Horizons) about a married couple, Katha and Ryu, "a pair of stressed-out urban professionals who feel unfulfilled by the impersonal gadgets and fast-paced lifestyle of the modern world," according to ACT. "After meeting a charismatic man from a community of 1950s reenactors, they decide to swap cell phones and sushi for phone trees and fish sticks by joining a community where life is slower, passion is risqué, and a cocktail is a daily accessory. In this meticulously recreated world, where retro attitudes about gender, race, and sexuality stir up powerful questions, Katha and Ryu must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice for happiness and whether the 'good old days' were really that good."
The Maple and Vine cast includes Emily Donahoe (Broadway's 33 Variations), who plays modern business woman-turned-Betty Crocker, Katha, and Nelson Lee (world premiere of Zayd Dohrn's Outside People at Vineyard Theatre) as Ryu, Katha's Japanese American husband, a plastic surgeon who faces a job demotion — and racial prejudice — when he takes on the '50s lifestyle. The cast also features Danny Bernardy (Phaedra's Love at Cherry Lane Theatre); Julia Coffey (Once in a Lifetime at ACT); and ACT MFA graduate Jamison Jones (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and Angels in America at ACT.
The creative team includes scenic designer Ralph Funicello, costume designer Alex Jaeger, lighting designer Russell H. Champa and sound designer Jake Rodriguez.
ACT is at 415 Geary Street. For more information, visit act-sf.org.

Three More Blows For Specter
by Nathan Empsall, Mon May 10, 2010 at 05:42:17 PM EDT
Today is not a good day to be former Repub Arlen Specter. First, a second polling firm now shows him well behind retired Admiral Rep. Joe Sestak in the PA-SEN Democratic primary. Second, Specter has fallen well behind Sestak in both state-wide favorability ratings and general election matchups, giving Sestak all the electability cards. Third, you just know Specter had to be rooting against Obama nominating Kagan for the Supreme Court, and that's going to hurt him.
Reflecting the same results as the Muhlenberg tracking poll, Rasmussen now shows Sestak in the lead. Both polls show a 47-42 race, right at the 5% MOE. This is the third day in a row Sestak has led the Muhlenberg poll and his largest lead yet; it is the first time he has led in a new Rasmussen poll. Muhlenberg has 11% undecided; Rasmussen 8%. (Rasmussen included "some other candidate" among the choices, which grabbed the other 3%.) These polls used different methodologies to find virtually the same results.
Another new Rasmussen poll shows that Sestak is surging almost as much with the general public as he is the Democratic electorate. Sestak's favorable rating is now 50%, tied with Toomey's 51% and far ahead of Specter's 41. If the general election were held today, Specter would lose to Toomey 50-38, whereas Sestak is virtually tied at 42-40. In February, both trailed 47-38. It's clear where the momentum lies.
Also, this nugget from NBC's First Read sugests the President's new nominee to the Supreme Court may have an impact on the PA-SEN race:
As we predicted in First Thoughts, Joe Sestak's campaign is seizing on Arlen Specter's vote against Elena Kagan in 2009, when the Senate was confirming her to be U.S. solicitor general. Specter voted against her before his switch to the Democratic Party...
But he added: "My opponent, Sen. Specter, has already made his views about the president's nominee clear by voting against her confirmation to be Solicitor General, even as seven of his fellow Republicans approved her nomination. I expect Sen. Specter may backtrack from his earlier vote on Ms. Kagan this week in order to help himself in the upcoming primary election, but the people of Pennsylvania have no way of knowing where he will stand after May 18.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Mark your calendars—on December 10, Mark Ronson will head to New York's Highline Ballroom to host The Other Ball: a soiree and auction whose proceeds will go to Arms Around the Child. Founded by Leigh Blake, the charity aims to provide struggling children in developing countries with a loving home, medical treatment, protection, and education. Underwritten by Topshop, the event will feature performances from The Black Keys, A$AP Rocky, Lykke Li, and more. And if the party isn't enough to get you in a giving mood, the one-of-a-kind teddy bears up for auction most certainly will. Christian Louboutin, Alexander Wang, Topshop's Topman, Opening Ceremony, Thom Browne, Simon Doonan, and Chromat have each put their own spin on the stuffed toys, which, crafted from black leather, are surprisingly subversive. "I had so much fun reimagining my bear," offered Doonan of his buckle-and-spike-embellished design. "I channeled Helmut Newton and added a dollop of Christopher Street circa the seventies. I wanted to show that bears can be kinky, too." Wang's version also has a dark side, what with its silver X-eyed executioner's mask and black studded collar. Louboutin, meanwhile, whipped up a superhero-style bear, complete with a cape and paws in his signature hue of red, and Thom Browne's iteration is dressed in one of the designer's unmistakable cropped suits. "We need to bring more awareness to the importance of children's happiness, well-being, and innocence," said Browne of the project. Each bear will go under the hammer for a starting price of $1,000, and if you can't make it to the Ball, online and telephone bids will be accepted until noon on Tuesday. For information on bidding and tickets, visit theotherball.org.

About Twist
When it comes to meals, some people love the cooking part. And lots of people love the eating part. But it seems like nobody loves the cleaning part. Twist was the same way. And that bugged them. Why doesn't anyone love cleaning? Turned out for Twist, it was a lot of things. They didn't like the tools. They didn't like the way they felt. They didn't like the way they looked sitting on the counter. They didn't like what they were made of. So Twist decided to make some little changes. Nothing big. Just little things.more »
