A Sioux City business with major expansion plans is one step closer to making the project reality.
Monday night, local leaders approved Echo Electric's application to the Targeted Jobs Withholding Tax Program.
The company, which employees 22-people, plans to add 13 more jobs.
They also want to build a 45,000 square foot facility in the former stockyards area.
If approved by the state, they'll receive half a million dollars in tax benefits, but officials say local tax payers will also benefit from the company's expansion plans.
"Great for the tax rolls, and for the tax payer to get that land back on the tax rolls," said Marty Dougherty, Sioux City Economic Development Director.
The vacant parcel was once home to the Floyd Valley Packing Plant.

I can't help but continue discussion on the Luke Kuechly interview from yesterday. If this interview after his first day of mini-camp in a Panther practice jersey is any indication we are going to love his interviews even more once he achieves his first objective:
''You have to come in with the mindset that you're at the bottom of the totem pole now,'' he said. ''There will be guys that have been here 10 or 15 years and you have to gain their respect. You can't come in thinking that you've arrived because you haven't done anything yet.
''You have to prove what you can do.''
Some people might read into the fact Kuechly was given Ron Riveras jersey number #59 as a sign the coach was trying to set a bar for him. The ever humble BAMF cleared that up:
''There's no legacy for him to worry about there, so he'll be fine,'' Rivera said.
It turns out the only reason there was no need for Kuechly to pick a number is because 59 was the only 50's jersey number left.
''I was like, 'Great, I got a jersey. I'm not picky,''' he said.
What a co-inky dink! Hopefully he won't be picky about where he lines up.
Rivera plans to throw a lot at the rookie including the responsibility of learning two positions:
''He looked good,'' Rivera said. ''We put some pressure on him to learn both positions, but we think he's that kind of football player and that kind of athlete that can handle it. It will be interesting to see how he meshes with the rest of the guys on defense.''
I believe the meshing has started. Stay tuned for Meshing: Day 2!

THOMASVILLE, GA (WALB) –Thomasville's Salvation Army is looking for volunteers to brave cold temperatures and ring some bells this holiday season.
Their annual Red Kettle Campaign is underway but they still need volunteers to man the kettles.
The money raised helps families in need including toys for children. Without volunteers, organizers must pay people to ring bells using part of the donations they raise.
"The Red Kettle campaign continues farther than Christmas which allows us to help people through the community multiple times a year," explains Lt. Jonathon Howell, the commanding officer. "So not just Christmas but also people who are in need of utility bills, power bills, food, clothes. This money goes to help that."
Thomasville's Kettle campaign runs for six weeks and ends December 24th.
If you're interested in becoming a bell ringer, call 229-226-3772.

This fine route is one of the best of its grade at the Shady Side. If not for unusually dirty rock, the route would be 3 stars. Begin just right of the obvious undercling flake. A shouldery move gains the undercling, from which its easy to reach a good rail, and traverse three feet left to a rounded, vertical seam. Follow the weakness up classic Shady Side slopey crimps, fighting the pump all the way to the anchor.
Begins directly behind a large pine, below an obvious right-angling undercling flake at 8 feet.

The Pointers football team held it's first spring practice on Sunday, and just like every other team in the area the Pointers were forced to be inside because of weather conditions.
The NCAA Division III level doesn't allow teams to have a spring game, but they are allowed to have 16 spring practices without helmets and pads.
Head coach Tom Journell says the Pointers will be using the spring to get everyone on the same page mentally.

Choosing a Location for the Startup

I plan on starting a business that requires programmers who know a lot about the backend of websites, ad servers, and data science. However, I live in the Los Angeles area. Would it be better to move out to the Bay Area or is LA a good place to headquarter the company.
PS: Pasadena to be even more specific than LA.
2 posts
May 15, 2014 4:23 PM EDT
Hi I am sure that LA has quite a few good programmers too. They aren't all located in SFO. I think the startup costs (and competitive salary) in Bay Area is pretty high, living expense too. Just my 2 cents

Hey Dan,
Do you know if Pasadena (Northwest LA) has good resources? What are the salaries/living expenses/costs compared to SFO?
8 posts
May 28, 2014 10:09 AM EDT
How big will the business be in starting up? Is this something where you could bring the programmers on as contractors working remotely? That might save you money, and a move.

unless you have the business at cruising altitude why go there? find somewhere less expensive, probably not in the States and build your business

No. 18 USC Trojans host the 6-3 Washington Huskies at the Coliseum in a nationally-televised game on Saturday afternoon.
USC holds a significant edge over the Huskies in the all-time series, but Washington has won two straight over the Trojans behind the right foot of kicker Erik Folk, whose last-minute field goals have been the difference. Folk connected on a 32-yard attempt as the clock expired for a 32-31 win in the Coliseum last season.
The Trojans are led offensively by quarterback Matt Barkley, who has completed 67 percent of his 342 pass attempts for 2,608 yards with 28 touchdowns and just six interceptions, earning the praise of Huskies head coach Steve Sarkisian, a former USC offensive coordinator ,who said that if he were running an NFL team, he'd take Barkley ahead Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck.
Sarkisian has himself a pretty good quarterback in Keith Price, who has completed 66.8 percent of 271 pass attempts for 2,133 yards with 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Price has struggled with turnovers the last two weeks, with half of his interceptions coming against Arizona and Oregon. Taking some pressure of Price is running back Chris Polk, who went over 1,000 yards for a third straight season and is 450 yards away from becoming the school's all-time leading rusher.
Game date, time: 3:45 pm ET, Saturday, November 12, 2011
Location: Los Angeles Coliseum, Los Angeles, California
TV channel: FX
Spread: Trojans are favored by 11.5 points
Series history: Trojans hold a 49-28-4 edge in the all-time series

Paul's Fishing Kites Copyright © 2002-09
Becoming one of the twenty percent of fishers who catch eighty percent of the fish isn't hard. It's simply a matter of having the right fishing tackle for the area and the species you are likely to encounter.
But, ask any charter skipper about the tackle boxes he has seen brimming with expensive, but useless, fishing tackle - stuff designed to catch fishermen instead of fish. Or ask him about the number of unbalanced or inadequate rod and reel combos that
clients bring. You will be staggered to learn how much useless stuff fishermen actually buy!
It is not just charter boat clients missing out. If the bottom eighty per cent of fishermen used the correct tackle they would all be successful fishermen.
The cause so many fishers have the wrong gear is they just don't have access to sound advice when buying fishing tackle. All too often the fisherman walks out of the store - after spending twice as much as he needed to - and with a pile of expensive
gear that just doesn't work on the fish he wants to catch.
You can get free online advice and quotes simply by filling in a few details below.
At Paul's Fishing Kites we have four fishing experts on hand covering a vast range of fishing methods and techniques.
We also carry a comprehensive range of conventional fishing tackle as well as an astounding range of kite fishing rigs and boat and kayak longlines.
If you are after advice use the following form, it is designed to help us to deliver the best advice in the most efficient manner.
This is not an automated process, real experts will actually respond, so please consider the questions carefully before submitting.
Rob, Morgan, Peggy or Paul from Paul's Fishing Kites will read the form and get back to you ASAP by phone or email with their advice, tailored to your requirements and, of course, our best prices.
You will receive a free no obligation quote on the best gear and techniques to target the fish you seek - you have nothing to lose but the few seconds it take to fill out the form below.
Far Left : Peggy Barnes handles all kite, longline and spectra orders and enquiries from outside of New Zealand.
Peggy offers advice on the best rigs or tackle to use in your country, wholesale/retail prices and shipping costs.
Left : Paul develops and tests all new products and advises on tricky technical issues and fishing conditions and keeps this website running.

We are here to help.

Spurrier to Jesse Palmer: Dylan Thompson is not as pretty as you
Steve Spurrier to Jesse Palmer comparing Palmer to starting QB Dylan Thompson: Not as pretty as you...#HBC #Barnyard— Matt Barrie (@MattBarrieESPN) July 15, 2014
OK, let's take stock of what has just transpired. Spurrier threw some serious shade on Palmer for the amount of attention he devotes to maintaining his good looks by calling him "prettier" than Dylan Thompson. Here, "pretty" is distinct from "attractive" in that it qualifies his appearance with a degree of femininity. While perhaps not the most forward-thinking insult Spurrier has ever dished out, this is still highly effective shade in the context of a 69-year-old man comparing two football players. In a single stroke, both Palmer and Thompson can consider themselves knocked down a peg, and that's why what Steve Spurrier does should be considered art.

Now what?
by a margin of 55 to 45 percent. More than 10,000 of the community's registered voters participated in Tuesday's referendum. But months of often bitter debate may have left deep wounds in a community where more than 4,900 people voted to stay in DeKalb.
"This is America, and we'll make this new city work," said , president of the Ashford Park Civic Association. "We have to. We'll join hands and work together.
"It's amazing how many good and smart people who have been on both sides of the debate," he said. "If we can bring everyone together we can build a model city."
, president of BrookhavenYES, said .
"We don't hold grudges or negativity in our hearts," Davis said. "We want everyone to come together to build this new city."
The next step is for Gov. Nathan Deal to appoint a five-person commission to begin reviewing candidates for city manager, attorney, clerk and accountant. Davis said that commission could be announced as soon as next week.
The commission is also charged with finding the best locations for municipal offices. Davis has suggested in the past that Brookhaven Plaza, across from the Brookhaven-Oglethorpe MARTA station, .
Candidates for Brookhaven's four city council seats and mayor cannot qualify until after the July 31 election results have been certified by DeKalb County. Elections for Brookhaven's first set of elected officials will be held on Nov. 6, the same day as the general presidential election.
A new city of Brookhaven will assume operations at 12:01 a.m., on Dec. 17, 2012. All DeKalb ordinaances will remain in effect until Brookhaven's mayor and city council choose to change them.

Enjoying the Apple Harvest
As apple season nears its end in our area, I spent some time going back through my recipes to make sure I've gotten a chance to enjoy them all with fresh apples. Since I grew up with an apple orchard right next to my house, apples have always been a big part of my life. Snipping blossoms and arranging them in a big vase in spring time, watching the little apples grow throughout the summer, picking that first Macoun in early fall and polishing it on my jeans before taking a crispy bite, sampling all the different varieties, helping press the apples into cider, and of course baking apples into a pie. Now that I no longer live on the farm, I've planted my own little mini-orchard of six apple trees, but it will be a few years before I get any apples.
Here are some of my favorite ways to eat apples. As you prepare any of these recipes, I highly recommend eating the skin that you peel off of the apples. The skin smells and tastes wonderful, so don't waste it!
Apple Cranberry Crumb Pie or traditional Apple Pie
Cinnamon Cider Jelly (Reduced-sugar version, too!)
Applesauce and Caramel Apple Butter
What's your favorite way to eat apples?

Our First Family Hayride
This isn't a guest post, I'm actually writing a post myself!!!
It wasn't really hayride season yet, but I knew if we showed up at the farm on Saturday that we could convince someone to hook up a wagon, throw on some bales of hay and give Joshua his first ride. And that's exactly what happened.

Unit 6 American Hefeweizen
A: Pale straw in color, slightly hazy, with a large fluffy white head.
S: Not a lot of the banana or clove that I would regularly associate with this style. Some light spice notes, and a touch of fruitiness to it. A touch of a yeasty character, as well as a bit of touch of a lager like fruit esther.
T: Very light in flavor. There is a bit of a grainy flavor, and some American hop flavors. Seems a touch watery, and lacking character. There is little bit of a tart bite in the finish, perhaps it is the CO2.
M: Light, somewhat dry, with high carbonation.
O: Overall this is a bit of a miss for me. It tastes, and feels a little bland for me, it seems very lager like in smell and taste, and I think the american hops are to subtle.
Wondering if there was a recipe change.. recent reviews and older ones seem to differ pretty greatly. Wonder if there was a change in the recipe with a change in the label.

This is called "Unit 6" and billed as an "American Hefeweizen." I assume it's the same beer.
A - slightly cloudy yellow, not much white head to speak of. I can understand calling it piss colored.
S - some clove, banana, vanilla, but there's that terrible sweet thing going on too that seems to be in all or most of RT's beers. Some cooked vegetables.
T - Not too bad. A little bit bitter/dry, some light malty notes, a touch of citrus. This is ok.
M - Thin...uneventful
O - Well this is another miss from Rivertown. I feel like Cincinnati should be making better beers... Oh well. This beer is best summed up by something on its own label: "A Mysterious new twist on an old classic." 'Nough said

2.1/5 rDev -40%
This one pours a very light straw yellow in color, very clear until the sediment from the bottom leaves in its final pour. The aromas consist of pale malt, some citrus, light spice, and light yeast. It's average. It tastes of slightly sweet malts with light yeast and possibly a light citrus zest. It's pretty lackluster and finishes too quickly. It isn't as bold as it should be. It is pretty light in body and doesn't look very good in a glass. It drinks light and doesn't leave you wanting more. This one appears to be more of an American wheat than a hefe. I wouldn't recommend trying this one if you're comparing it to real hefes.

Cloudy very pale yellow/piss. With a inch foamy white head that fades quickly into a thick mushroom top. Very unfiltered. Nice.
Great nose on this hefe. Full of spicy clove, bubblegum, yeast, light banana, asphalt, and some green vegetables, with some floral hops. Smells fantastic.
A little less excitement in the mouth but still a very solid, ballsy hefe. Thick wheat character creamy and smooth, with clove flavors dominating the middle. Earthy hops chime in with hints of bubble gum. Than deep in the finish ripe banana creme lingers and finishes very dry and yeasty with some carbonation zip. Again some green vegetables, and even whole grain mustard flavors in the finish. Love the texture of this though. Makes me feel like I'm not drinking a hefe. Which by BJCP standard would hurt.

A- Slightly hazy straw yellow color. Large white foam that leaves decent lacing.
S- Very musty aroma with some lemon and funk. A bit odd...
T- Flavor is slightly tart with some lemon and banana coming through. Acidic finish with little spice or bread to speak of.
M- Light bodied with ok carbonation.
O- I'm not sure if I got a bad bottle. Tastes like this one might have had bit of Brett thrown in. Definitely more sour than the average hefe.

3.93/5 rDev +12.3%
Eye- Light cloudy yellow. 2 finger bubbly head. Laces the glass.
Nose-Bready,some yeasts,fruits a bit spicy....and yep,a trace of banana.
Taste Whoa...banana bread shifts int a lemon-tangrine finish. The kiddies would enjoy this,plop a few marshmallows in it....
Rather nice version of a style I tend to pass by. There's 6" of snow today,and this seems more a summertime beer.
Mouthfeel- Pretty light,sparkly. This is no robust truck driver beer,but it's built to be drinkable,cold,refreshing,and it does all that. Thre's enough lurking "beerish" flavors that it isn't too fruit loops. It manages to be interesting if light,has a bit of complexity going,unlike some Hefes
Drinkability Pretty good. I could see this as a winner at a picnic in July....kind words from a guy who sees Storm King as a perfect July picnic beer.

Poured from the bottle into a pint glass, beer is a hazy, orange-banana milkshake color with a creamy white head. The nose is of sweet/spicy phenols, cloves dominate with doughy yeast and citrus-banana rounding out the smell. The flavor however, leans to the other side of the spectrum and is much more banana focused with the spicy clove taste being much more subdued. Very fruity - banana with some light citrus notes make this sweet yet very refreshing. Mouthfeel is medium to full in body with a creamy, velvet smooth carbonation. Very drinkable hefe, well done all around. This one could rival some of the better German hefes I've had.

Rolled bottle before pouring to stir up yeast. Poured into a Sam Adams Perfect Pint glass.
A - Yellow and milky white appearance from the yeast. Low, white head that quickly falls. I would like to see the big, pillowy head of a beer like Franziskaner.
S - Bananas, lemon, cloves, up front. Mild bready malt aroma with no hops apparent in nose. Everything is balanced very well, which I don't see very often. Very inviting.
T - Very bready with a sweet malt flavor. Loads of banana and cloves in excellent balance with each other and the malt. Low bitterness that lingers well after the other flavors have dissipated. Light vanilla pops up as the beer warms.
M - Meduim to light body with strong carbonation. Pleasantly dry and refreshing. Would prefer a little more body to the beer.
D - One of the best American made hefeweizens I have ever had. A good balance in the esters and phenols, which doesn't happen very often. An excellent beer for a hot summer day.

Poured into my Sam Adams pint glass this beer is a hazy yellow/orange with a massive white fluffy head. Looks right on for the style. The smell is mostly tart lemon with a hint of wheat. At first the taste is all banana-flavored bubblegum. That subsides with following drinks and the lemony flavor comes out a little more. This is pretty carbonated but it fits for warm-weather drinking. I'm not usually a big fan of hefe's and this doesn't really change my mind but it's a solid example of the style.

This beer was served in a Weizen glass.
Appearance: This is a good looking Hefe. The body of the beer has a delicious hazy yellow coloration. The head is pillowy approximately an inch. Good head retention and plenty of rings left on my glass.
Smell: Banana and lemon whaft up from my glass. A bit of cloves round off the aroma. Well done.
Taste: The flavors of the beer are similar to taking a spicy (cloves) banana bread and dunking lightly in lemon. Not bad at all. Watch the temp on this beer as it really doesnt taste nearly as good icy cold.
Mouthfeel / Drinkability: The body of the beer is light but not watery. The carbonation levels work well with the beer. This is definately a throw back hefe. The beer is good and the price mark is good. This will be a reaccuring beer at my house.

Bought from local supermarket, Biggs. 6pk @ $8.99.
Lighter in color than Blue Moon with a cloud of yeast. Turned the bottle over and swirled up the yeast settlment then enjoyed in a Sam Adams Perfect Beer Glass with a slice of lemon (per the brewer's suggestion).
This is the type of beer I could drink all day if it didnt get me drunk. Light, easy to drink, spring/summer notes of citrus, vanilla maybe, and corriander. I enjoy this beer COLD but the warmer it gets the flavor notes that come out.
Anyone want to trade this, let me know.

Pours a cloudy unfiltered golden color with a thick topping of cloud like white thick head.
Smell is very zesty-with a solid wheat some light fruit.
Taste is lightly spiced - wheaty with a banana bread quality.
Finish is wet with a lightly wheaty after-taste with a light malt that last well.
Drinks well-highly refreshing with a zesty spice to perk you up.

4.33/5 rDev +23.7%
Appearance - cloudy banana yellow pour, two finger of beer, eight fingers of white, snowy foam. Wow. Makes a pillowy head as I force enough beer in to swell the foam over the top of the glass. Plenty of chunky, dotted lace as the head begins to fall (but I just pours in more beer when that happens). excellent start but I wouldn't mind maybe 10% less foam - I'm thirsty!
Aroma - lots of clove and banana, very aromatic.
Taste - lemony side to the malts at the fore. Plenty of yeast flavor, the clove and banana are simplistically delicious. Swallows evenly, ends juicy, thirst-quenching, I love it. It lacks the depth of flavor profile but this is one fine hefe.
Mouthfeel - good smoothness and crisp but soft-feeling carbonation has this beer going fast. A little thin but it isn't exactly supposed to be 30-weight.
Drinkability - excellent. Another one that should attend Zinzinnati OFest.

Dyche wants new FA Cup memories
7:56am Friday 4th January 2013 in Football By Suzanne Geldard, Burnley FC reporter
SEAN Dyche has an FA Cup memory to cherish from his time with Chesterfield.
As captain and centre half of the Spireites he helped the minnows reach the semi-finals in 1997.
But the forward-thinking defender turned manager does not really like to dwell on past glories. He is more interested in making new ones with Burnley.
The Clarets head to Barnsley tomorrow looking to combine a run of form with a run in the world's most famous domestic cup competition, after getting 2013 off to a winning start at Sheffield Wednesday on New Year's Day.
Dyche could be forced into changes, with question marks over Chris McCann and Martin Paterson, after muscle strains meant both were withdrawn at Hillsborough, Dean Marney could also be a doubt after missing the game with a thigh problem, while Charlie Austin and Ben Mee remain on the treatment table.
There is change afoot for Barnsley too, with uncertainty over who will take charge tomorrow after manager Keith Hill was sacked before the New Year. But for Dyche the focus is clear.
He said: "I certainly value the competition and I think there are a lot of people who do, despite people trying to talk it down sometimes. It's a good opportunity to experience what it is to play in it – an FA Cup tie that's taken seriously and one that's so historic within the game in this country," said the 41-year-old, who scored a penalty to give Chesterfield a 2-0 lead over Middlesbrough, only for the tie to require a replay, which they lost.
"Unfortunately we didn't make it to the final because probably things were taken slightly out of our hands on the day with a big decision that went against us.
"But to be part of that run with a very good group of players at a small club and put a marker down in the history of the FA Cup somewhat was a great achievement not just by me by any means but by the whole club and the people at the club and the fans at the time.
"I don't over-think it to be honest though, it's present and future for me.
"But it was a good message to show that things can be done – never more so than in a cup competition because of the random chance of playing one-off situations."
Tomorrow's tie has very much a league feel about it, particularly with Burnley having only recently visited Oakwell in the Championship.
But for Dyche the cup has lost none of its magic.
"I consider it an important part of the fabric of English football, and I think so many do," said the Burnley boss.
"Particularly in the lower divisions and non-league clubs who are working their way through the cup system trying to hang on in there.
"And there are the what-if scenarios of small clubs versus big clubs, and there are a few in every round.
"Ours is slightly different with it being a Championship affair, but I'm not too worried about the glamour of it, I'm more interested in getting the outcome, which is a win."
And Dyche insists he does not view Barnsley's managerless situation as a complication.
"We are aware of what the opposition offer and we have people who watch the opposition, as we do ourselves – mainly via DVD because of the way the fixtures work – so we'll be aware of them.
"But it will be about us, as it always is.
"We can't affect what's going on at their end, our main focus will be on us.
"We were very happy with the performance the other day, and the players should be, but the next one comes around quickly.
"We want to build that winning mentality and the best way of doing that is obviously to win games.
"It's another important game for different reasons, and one we'll be searching to get another win from.
"We're really focusing on what we're doing at the moment and there have been really good signs, particularly the last win, and the one against Derby.
"We're reasonably happy with the performance level – we were very happy with it on Tuesday and against Derby, we just slightly came away from it against Leicester, although not radically so.
"The players are showing increased belief in what we think's appropriate and how they go about their business, and that bodes well going into any game we're playing, regardless if it's cup or league, so we're just preparing to win."

Apparatus Manufacturers Discuss Multi-Purpose Units
Editor's Note: Firehouse Staff Writer Ed Ballam covered this article in the November issue of Firehouse Magazine and for the November edition of the Firehouse Limited Edition Tablet app. There was a time when parade apparatus was king in fire...
Gerace said there's been a trend to make apparatus shorter overall with smaller pump panels and mitered corners to provide a little more clearance. To go along with shortened apparatus, KME has been working on cramp angles to make apparatus easier to maneuver – even aerials.
Safety never goes out of style and Gerace said truck committees are looking at all aspects of safety.
"When you look at it, people are getting hurt getting in and out of cabs," Gerace said. "So, we're making lower steps to get in and out of the cab."
Hose beds are also lower than ever with firefighters wanting to make sure they avoid injuries, especially to the back.
Gerace said not only is KME making lower hose beds, they're making a system called Lock and Load hose bed where the hose bed slides out on a tray then reloaded and placed back in the apparatus.
KME is also making apparatus with discharges and intakes only on the officer's side of the rig, keeping all the hoses away from the pump operator completely, something NFPA has been trying to have happen for a long time.
As for the future, Gerace is certain safety and versatility will be trends for the long run.
Pierce Manufacturing has tried to meet the market's demands with versatile apparatus, said Tim Smit, Pierce's national sales manager.
"The new big is little," Smit said of the trend to compact apparatus that can perform a number of tasks. "Customers are looking for more versatility with apparatus. They want one piece of apparatus that can do it all."
Pierce developed its PUC configuration to create a small apparatus overall with a pump that's under the cab and a small pump control panel. The result, according to Smit is a very maneuverable apparatus with an increased amount of compartment space made available by the relocation of the pump.
Gone are the days of 10-person cabs, Smit said. "They just don't need them," he said. Departments do, however, need comfortable room for those occupants who do ride in the rigs and departments need room for EMS equipment, he added.
Pierce's Dash CF cab and chassis meets that need and provides plenty of room for the new norm of three to four firefighter crews, plus some EMS equipment as needed.
Smit said departments are more and more frequently asking for idle management technology, not only for green initiatives, but for maintenance reasons. Whenever the main apparatus engine can be shut off, emissions are reduced as is problem with soot build up in the apparatus' expensive exhaust systems, he said.
Pierce has developed a system using lithium ion batteries that can power most all the critical functions of an apparatus, like lights and cab air handling. The batteries will last five to six hours with a 150 amp load – plenty to run warning lights and LED scene lights.
Like many other manufacturers, Pierce has seen a rise in popularity with rescue/pumper apparatus as well as quints which are the most popular aerial these days, Smit said.
"There are not as many niche apparatus as there once was," Smit said. "We see a lot more function in apparatus."
Choices in financing have become a shopping point for apparatus purchasers too, Smit said, noting that departments want to consider financing and leasing as they make apparatus purchasing decisions.
"People are looking for more function and less frills," Smith said.
Rosenbauer's Vice President of Sales Scott Oyen said fire departments are looking at mid-range apparatus and are content getting slightly smaller engines, with a few less horsepower, to save money while still getting adequate performance.
The company also says customers continue to be interested in rear-mount pumpers. Customers are also asking for electronic controls and multiplex apparatus. Electronic over hydraulic controls and valves have gained popularity as well. The company has seen an evolution into more technologically advanced vehicles as the "Nintendo" generation firefighters come up through the ranks.
Mike Harstad, Rosenbauer's aerial product manager, said "the joystick" generation has come to expect that mechanical devices must work with lots of technology and they have come to expect it.

City Council Changing the World
Original post made by BeHumble on Feb 21, 2007

I am glad to see that the City Council are addressing the major issues facing our city. Of course our city council members can spend hours on "self-congratulations and self-important comments". I am sure they see themselves as shining examples of how city government should be run.
i find it hard to believe that any other city would want to do things the way Palo Alto does.
on Feb 21, 2007 at 1:06 pm
I take it that my suggestion, that they cancel all travel and attend only conferences that are teleconferences got short, or no shrift. We had a failed leader of the Utility department whose partial alabi was that he spent half his time traveling on utility business. If we send any more people out, I want them equipped with helmet cam to run whenever they are in public, the contents to be made a public record when they return.
on Feb 21, 2007 at 1:51 pm
I suppose City Council Members do discuss things other than what has been stated above plus the need to change the name of Oregon Expressway or name something in Palo Alto after someone as a sign of honoring them. When are they going to get down to something useful like building up our retail base, or sorting out problems with drains, sewers, etc? These are the real issues of our city and only when it seems that these are being dealt with will our community feel that we have a City Council honoring those who elected them into this elevated "self-congratulatory and self-important" position.

STERLING — — Free throw shooting has been the Fleming girls' basketball team's nemesis at times this season, but on Thursday night in the semi-finals of the 1A District 4 tournament against Briggsdale, that's where the Wildcats made their living.
Fleming shot 79 percent for the game (22 for 28) at the free-throw line, including 15 for 20 in the fourth quarter alone, to upset top-seeded Briggsdale 55-51 and secure a spot in Saturday's final against Caliche.
"When you get down to this part of the season, and as the girls said in the locker room after the game, 'It's defense and free throws that win championships,'" Fleming head coach Ken Bretz said. "That's how we got into this position. We played defense well these last few games and we played great defense (Thursday) against Briggsdale.
The win on Thursday extends the Wildcats' winning streak to four and, as has been the recipe in those wins, Fleming had to overcome some adversity along the way.
After taking a 12-8 lead after the first quarter, Briggsdale started the second quarter on a 12-0 run before Fleming was able to snap the dry spell at 1:53 mark on a 3-pointer by freshman Kalyn Serrato.
The Wildcats offense struggled again in the third quarter, scoring just 11 points, but their defense was able to limit Briggsdale to eight points to cut the deficit to one at 30-29 entering the fourth.
"Our team has really developed a great character about being poised and confident. Having a bad quarter didn't shake us and take us out of the game," Bretz said.
In the fourth, the Fleming offense got rolling again against the Falcons' zone as it opened with three consecutive 3-pointers from their three guards Elayna Muller, Megan Chintala and Serrato to push its first lead of the second half to 38-33 with 4:28 remaining.
"Those 3-pointers all came out of our one offensive set in 'Omaha' where we have a lot of different looks out of that," Bretz said. "We can either get a look for a 3-pointer out of the corner, we could hit the post, we could get the ball to the top of the key where Elayna is at, or we're looking to skip the ball to the other guard on the wing. It just so happens that we ran that play three times and we got the shot from the corner, the shot from the top, and the shot from the other wing and we nailed all three of them."
From that point, Briggsdale was able to close to within two points on two different occasions, but the Wildcats' effectiveness at the free-throw line down the stretch kept the Falcons at bay and sealed the 55-51 final.
Serrato finished with a game-high 21 points to lead Fleming, while Chintala and Muller joined her in double-figures with 11 points and 10 points, respectively. Junior forward Timmi Keisel also added nine points to help pace the offense.
Fleming will now have a day of rest and practice to prepare for the championship game against No. 1-ranked Caliche, which it played tough for three and a half quarters in a physical and heated 70-50 affair won by the Lady Buffaloes on Jan. 24.
"This is a great accomplishment for our team to have the chance to play for the district championship on Saturday," coachc Bretz said. "Having a spot locked up in the regional tournament already takes the pressure off Saturday's game, but we're playing Caliche. It's going to be a tough game and there is going to be a lot of emotion, but I know the girls are going to respond and come out and play hard."

I hosted a party last night, for the launch of Wii Play Motion. I always worry when I host a party. That no one is going to come, and if people do come, that no one is going to have a good time. But I didn't need to worry about this party, there was a ton of ice cream and wine and a fun game to play. And it was a great mix of people, bloggers and non bloggers a like. And we talked about everything from running to how to control the toy clutter in our house.
But the focal point was Wii Play Motion and we definitely had a blast playing the game. Amy was afraid that during the Spooky Search game there were actual ghosts in my house, and we all enjoyed knocking out some aggression by whacking some vermin in Veggie Guardin'. Especially Janine.
Of course, the delicious ice cream and wine didn't hurt. And sometimes the best way to relax after a long weekend and prepare for the week to come is to laugh and hang out with your friends. I could not have asked for a better Sunday night.
Disclosure: As a party host, I received a copy of Wii Play Motion, 3 remotes, all the supplies needed for an ice cream bar, party favors for guests, and a party gift for one lucky party attendee. I was not compensated for this post, nor was I required to write it. All opinions are my own. Links are affiliate links.

The Martinsville Seven
The Black Death Penalty
During the remaining months of 1949, the feeling grew that the punishment given to the defendants was unfair. It seemed to be a sort of justice overkill to sentence someone to death for a crime in which no one had died and for which there was no lethal intent. But Virginia had a long history of such penalties: Since the early 19th century, punishment for rape, or even attempted rape, was death by hanging. Though it was not mandatory, juries still had the power to recommend the ultimate penalty in such cases. However, it wasn't the sentence itself that generated controversy; it was the manner in which the punishment was applied that led many people to question the intent of Virginia's statutes.
Research showed that whites who raped and were convicted did not receive the death penalty in Virginia. Only black defendants did. In preparation for appeal, defense attorneys compiled statistics on capital punishment in Virginia during the 20th century. What they discovered was a disturbing trend toward the application of the death penalty in the state that predated the Civil War.
From 1900 until the time of the Martinsville Seven trial, thirty-seven black defendants were executed for the crime of rape. An additional nineteen received the death penalty for attempted rape. No white man had received the death penalty for either crime during the same period. In the 19th century, as might be expected, the figures were much worse. From the year 1800 until 1900, 526 black defendants were executed by the State of Virginia for a variety of offenses, which included burglary, slave revolt, robbery, stealing, arson and other felonies. Only 46 whites were executed. For the crime of rape or attempted rape, 64 black men received the death penalty, while no whites suffered the same fate for the same crime. In fact, for as long as records have been kept in Virginia, not one white man had ever been executed for the crime of rape.
This obvious disparity in sentencing was a revelation to many people. Defense attorneys were confident that any fair court, after reviewing the evidence, would see that the Virgina justice system was biased against black Americans. Defense attorneys submitted another appeal to the City of Richmond court. They outlined the curious history of capital punishment in the state of Virginia for the past one hundred and fifty years, including the shocking statistics they had compiled from government archives. Though it may have been conclusive to some jurists, Judge Ray Doubles was not convinced. He told defense attorneys that dozens of different juries at different times had sentenced those defendants to death. Therefore, it could not be said that the courts were acting on a policy that was either endorsed or supported by the state. The juries, in effect, acted on their own, and the state could not be held responsible for what they did. The appeal was denied again.

Providence is leaking info again
First it was to Lenn Robbins in the NY Post this morning, reporting that the Big East would expand to twelve football teams, double the football exit fees to $10m (with no change for basketball), and that Villanova successfully blocked Temple's admission for all-sports. Now Brett McMurphy is seconding that report. Let's recap: 1. Big East football is dying, and yet the conference's first (and only) priority is to preserve undeserved privilege for its eight basketball programs no matter what the cost. That is exactly why Pittsburgh and Syracuse left for the ACC. They're conceivably adding a second team in Texas now instead of, you know, a program that actually plays in the Northeast in Temple. The fact that John Marinatto still has comfortable job security (as do Jim Burr and Tim Higgins!) speaks volumes about where the league's priorities are at right now. 2. Given how these leaks are coming from John Marinatto's trusted mouthpieces, there's still hope that the Big East football schools aren't going along with raising the exit fees. That would be foolish and unnecessary. The only scenario where it makes sense to up the exit fees is if the conference where to split. None of the football schools can afford to be trapped in a conference with eight unwelcome leaden anchors. 3. Not only is raising the exit fee a bad idea, but the basketball programs kept their exit fee at only $5 million dollars to make sure Notre Dame maintained precious negotiating leverage. Yep. Priorities are crystal clear. The only things the Big East conference cares about are Touchdown Jesus and filling seats at the Dunkin' Donuts Center. Blow it up, Tim and Ollie. Blow it up. Update: surprise, surprise, the leaks may end up being wrong. With C-USA and the MWC merging, there's no need to up the exit fee. Why would the likes of UCF and Boise want to stick around in that monstrosity? Update2: no vote Sunday, although Blaudschun says everything is still going to happen.

Rss Link
5 January 2011 at 8:45pm
I need ti change default link of RssFeed.
I create a function that ask data to external db. so at the and of my function have:
function query_ext() {
......query thak extract data ....
$doSet = new DataObjectSet();
while (...){
$result = array(
'Title'=> $titolo,
'Abstract'=> $abstract,
'My_Link'=> $my_link, );
$doSet->push(new ArrayData($result));}
return $doSet;
and I wrote this in my controller:
function rss() {
$rss = new RSSFeed($this->query_ext(), 'My_Link', "I Feed RSS", "My feed are:", "Title", "Abstract", "Author");
In my rss page I see title and abstract but not link. can you help me to find error?
Re: Rss Link
6 January 2011 at 8:58pm
The link parameter which you have used for My_Link is for the link to the RSS feed not each item in particular. I believe RSSFeed would assume that all entries are subclasses of DataObject and have either AbsoluteLink() or Link() functions defined. Try change My_Link to Link in your while loop and see if it picks up 'Link' by default, otherwise you will need to define a actual dataobject class for it.
Re: Rss Link
27 January 2011 at 11:52pm
Hi Willr!
I try to change My_link in Link but nothing change.
Can you help me to create a correct function? I'm unable to solve this problem..
Re: Rss Link
28 January 2011 at 9:46am
I try to change My_link in Link but nothing change
Try AbsoluteLink(). It is possible that it won't work at all if it calls the method since of course your object isn't an dataobject. You may have to create those objects as DataObject subclasses for it to call Link() on.

help please..
Re: Rss Link
4 February 2011 at 3:42pm
Hi Bebabeba,
Have you tried looking at the code for RSSFeed? This is the function which generates the $AbsoluteLink string you posted in your template example.
function AbsoluteLink() {
if($this->failover->hasMethod('AbsoluteLink')) return $this->failover->AbsoluteLink();
else if($this->failover->hasMethod('Link')) return Director::absoluteURL($this->failover->Link());
else user_error($this->failover->class . " object has either an AbsoluteLink nor a Link method. Can't put a link in the RSS feed", E_USER_WARNING);
As you can see it calls hasMethod(). I am not sure if hasMethod() will pick up the fact that you have an array of data (rather than an object).
So what I think you need to do, as I mentioned in my first post is to use a proper object rather than simply an Array.
// new class - RSSFeedableData.php
class RSSFeedableData extends ArrayData {
function Link() { return $this->getField('Link'); }
// change your function like
$result = array(
'Title'=> $titolo,
'Abstract'=> $abstract,
'Link'=> $id
$doSet->push(new RSSFeedableData($result));

Re: Parade Wagon/Trailer
Couple of thoughts.
1) Set the front of the bed back a bit further so that the tongue can be raised just past vertical. Save quite a bit of space when wagon is in storage.
2) Build removable bench seats horizontal to the length of the wagon bed. Bench seats snap over the wagon's sides and then the removable side rack snaps down over the wagon side. This will do two things, side racks will provide a bit of safety for passengers and seats will stabilize the wagon sides.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Parade Wagon/Trailer
with a simple grid to work from that's all you really need.
drag this to your desktop, print out a couple of times and start sketching. consider each little square
to be 3", 4 squares = 12".
for example a 2 x 6 would be 1/2 a block high and 2 blocks wide; a 4 x 4 a squeak taller and
wider than one block if you were overly fussy. 4' x 8' sheet of ply would be 16 blocks by 32 blocks.
to sketch your wheels try different sized coins or bottle caps until you find something close...
an 18" diameter wheel would be 6 blocks wide and 6 blocks high. 24" dia 8 blocks x 8 blocks, etc.
use a sheet for each elevation...front/back, side, top (plan view). start by drawing to scale the
chassis you've settled on using the mfg dimensions (some will have dimensioned drawings to
work from) and overlay your superstructure.
working your design to scale will help you think through fabrication as well as allow you to
figure materials you'll need almost down to the last nut and bolt.
I've fixed electrical problems with a hammer
Re: Parade Wagon/Trailer
Thanks Frederick...I will give this a try tonight and see what happens. If i make it work and come up with somethig more accurate...I will post it up and let you see what I have.
Re: Parade Wagon/Trailer
Thanks...I looked around and couldn't find any grid paper...this worked fine...as far as I can judge...The top view is still a mystery, as I am not sure what planking will work best. I do not want to use flooring or plywood. I think the planking will look better. But the scale is fairly accurate i think. It is based on the wheels being about 18 inches high. AS far as the length of the wheelbase, I cannot judge if the 72 inches on the Kory website is 72" from front of front wheel to back of back wheel or from axle to axle. Chris, from Kory, is checking on it and will get back to me. I penciled in the wheels at both locations. AS far as moving the whole bed back so I can raise the tongue...I am not too worried about that, as the trailer will be kept in my back yard, where there is plenty of space. I am a bigger fan of symmetry
Re: Parade Wagon/Trailer
Also...these drawings are based on the 18" wheel height and a 2" X 10" high stringer. I do not want the frame sitting to low and close to the wheels.
Re: Parade Wagon/Trailer
By definition, wheelbase is the distance between the centers of the axles. If you add side rails, make sure they are high enough to keep someone from falling out, not short enough to ensure that when they do fall out they land on their head.
Re: Parade Wagon/Trailer
I am further going to muddy the mix. Mind you this option isn't for everyone as needs may vary, but the idea is useful to my mind. I see you are going to do a fair amount of the fabrication, not sure what your skill sets are but .. building a trailer is a pretty straightforward task and not difficult if you take your time. When I needed a new Log Wagon to haul my 4 foot firewood out of the bush, I was kinda bereft of extra coin so I had to do things on a shoestring budget. Course, that is usually the way I do things ... and even though I have an improved budget, I still tend to do things using reclaimed, recycled, reusable materials that fit the project needs. Remember that I am not a mechanic or a mechanical draughtsman, I is a cabinet maker .. So if I can do this, so can anyone else who is a tad handy.
My Log Wagon is easily adaptable to a wagon that you need. Instead of the taller posts, make a bed that rests on the structural beams and add seats to it as well as sides as pictured in your sketch above. Nice thing about this design is that the hitch and tongue are the same height as the Cub's drawbar which makes for a better and safer pull. I think I have all of around $100.00 in it. The tires are off of snow blowers and other yard equipment, the 4x4's are not expensive .. about $0.35/foot, and the steel I had laying around. All that is in the narrative.
Granted there is no tie rods or drag links to make steering real smooth, but it is just a trailer after all and doesn't need all them thar bells and whistles. I have placed some sheet goods on the bed and my kids and their friends enjoyed a hay ride. At the speeds that a Cub travels the finer things are not needed. This could end up being far easier on the budget. The wood is mostly pressure treat finished with some of Mr. Irving's finest SAE10W30wt that I had hanging around. For a people mover I would use a good Water Seal like Thompson's or such. This wagon was built 11 years ago and it is still in top notch shape, a couple additional coats of Mr. Irving's Finest keeps it in good shape. I try not to leave it out doors, but ..... no matter how big you build a barn, it simply is never big enough
Now if you really want to buy one, then I would be leaning toward this one, mostly because of the look. It fits a Cub and a Hayride image to me:
Most of them are really over sized for a Cub. The one that would qualify and one that I have looked at very closely at my local Princess Auto is the identical one that Jim identified at Northern Tool.

Re: Parade Wagon/Trailer
HI Rudi,
Thanks for that. I had contacted the gentleman from Nu-Trail and he was going to send me some pictures. But I am pretty set now on going with the Kory gear and building something like a few people have had. I do not know yet about the decking...PT 1" x 8" or 10" . AS I mentioend earlier...My time to work is limited, so I do not make my wife too upset with me, but I will eb doing it in stages...Frame and Cross members bolted, then wrapping and decking screwed and bolted...last thing will be sides. IF things go smoothly, which is a rare occurance, I will try to get all pressure treated lumber assembled and bolted on the same day so that is ends up blted in place to minimize shrinkage and warping. But last thing will be guards. My poor cub won't even be ready til November. I have a local guy helping me restore it to show condition. Ideally it will be a very nice match...ideally...
Thanks for the input!
Re: Parade Wagon/Trailer
I figured that about the wheelbase, that is why my drawing has it set up that way...But I just wasn't completely sure. As far as the guard rail height, I am thinking it will be about 20 inches high or so. People will eb seated when I am going and to get in and out, I will remove the rear gate.
I am not sure about the hieght though...I mean, I can make it so high and look ridiculous...but no rail is unreasonable. There are many that I have seen with no to medium height rails...but none of them are so high so that nobodly could fall out.
Has anyone made their decking out of Trex, or any other composite? It would alleviate warping, tiwisting and splinters...
ANy thoughts?
Re: Parade Wagon/Trailer
In case anybody is still following...I decided to go with the Kory 3000 runnign gear. Chris was very helpful at Kory and I should have it in about one and a half weeks. I will take pictures of the entire progress from bare runnign gear to finished product in case anybody is curious as to what I did and how. I hope she comes out well!
Re: Parade Wagon/Trailer
If you decide to go with the Pioneer wagon or want someone to look at it firsthand, I live near their manufacturing facility, and would be happy to have a look at it for you.
Re: Parade Wagon/Trailer
Sounds like an interesting project and yes of course please cause you know
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Re: Parade Wagon/Trailer
I think I am missing something here. The four-wheel wagons pictured seem to have solid axles secured to a solid frame. That's OK for totally flat ground, but what happens when you go over ruts or uneven ground? Won't a wheel become airborne? I thought the front axle should be pivoted in the center so all four wheels are always touching the ground. Just curious. Al D

Re: Parade Wagon/Trailer
From the 2013 Pioneer Equipment, Inc. catalog, I learned the following:
-The Pioneer wagon has an oscillating coupling pole which effectively fills the role of the pivoting front bolster.
-In addition, available as an option, are coil bolster springs on all four corners.
-Available in one of three weight ranges from 500 lbs. minimum to 4400 lbs. maximum.
Do I like their equipment? You betcha! In the interest of full disclosure, I do not have any financial interest in Pioneer Equipment, Inc. (I'm not a bewhiskered Amishman, although I wear a pair of Amish made suspenders. )

U.S. Grant, A.J. Drexel and the Siege of Vicksburg
For the past two years the nation has marked the sesquicentennial of the Civil War, 1861-1865. We reach the midway point this week, as we recall the Battle of Gettysburg, one of the pivotal events of the war. Less well known, but perhaps equally important, is the battle for control of Vicksburg, which ended in Union victory one-hundred and fifty years ago today.

After catching up on some much needed sleep last night, we ate a very late breakfast before setting our sights for Tromso's iconic local mountain – Tromsdaltinden – which is featured in the photo below. Looming large approx. 4000′ above this Arctic island town, Tromsdaltinden was impossible to resist. And at the crack of 2:30pm (gotta love 22+ hour daylight!), after a short bike ride to the edge of town, we were on our skis.
The nearly 4000′ climb landed us on the summit around 6:00pm. On our way up the approaching valley, we we encountered dozens of local Norwegians – most on skinny skis, many ski-joring with dogs, some skiing in family groups, and a few pushing 70-80 years – sliding home after a day on and around the mountain. Higher up, views from the summit ridge toward the slightly higher mountains of the Lyngen Alps held us in a trance. Impossibly steep peaks dotted the horizon. Small glaciers filled their valleys. In other directions, we spotted distant fjords, a few small towns and the highland Swedish-Finnish border region – and far below, we could almost make out our bikes.
The ski was a classic, multi-pitch descent that was highlighted by boot-deep powder! off the summit and some relatively steep turns down a very aesthetic chute below an ice strewn sub-peak set aglow by the evening sun. Back in the valley, we passed a beautiful mountain hut, skied some gentle birch glades, and whizzed along a groomed nordic track before finishing off the day with a 2 mile coast on our bikes back to Tromso. The sun was still shining bright behind the distant, Teton-like peaks on the northwest horizon – our destination for the coming days.

Gentlemen and gentleladies.
Our Senators have made the postseason, one year into the fabled Senate Reform.
It is at this moment that we must ask ourselves, what is the official policy for Playoff Beards.
Do you shave now, letting your manly (or womanly) hair grow until the Senators hoist Sir Stanley's Cup?
Or does one shave upon the commencement of the playoffs, ie in approximately two weeks.
These questions demand answers.

Arizona Cardinals vs. San Francisco 49ers: Game a test of where Cards truly rank in their division
You know it's a big game when you repeatedly hear the term "big boy pads" coming out of the Cardinals locker room. According to various players, this is what they need to wear whenever the schedule reads – Cardinals vs 49ers.
"Everybody says this is just another game, but if you've been here for history, it's not just another game. It's one of those games where you're going to have to put your big boy pads on. It's not going to be Arena Football, it's going to be man up," Darnell Dockett said. "They're going to test your will. That's what they do."
Both teams sit tied (3-2) in the NFC West and, so far this season, both teams have won with defense. In fact, the Cardinals have not allowed a touchdown in more than seven quarters covering 24 opponent possessions.
"I think they were underrated last year as a defense, but this year they're very good," said 49ers' QB Colin Kaepernick. "They play hard, they play fast, show a lot of different looks. Defenses are going to change every time we see them. They're going to have new wrinkles."
In fact, when the 49ers examine their division rival, they see a lot of change period.
"Quite a bit's new," Head Coach Jim Harbaugh said. "New coaching staff, new players. Quite a few guys that are staples on their team. But they've added a mix of quite a few good players and it's really a new team in that regard and they're playing very well."
Same goes for the Niners, especially on defense. In a 34-3 win over Houston, the 49ers forced four turnovers and converted each one into points -- three touchdowns and a field goal. The 49ers' three interceptions were their most since three picks on Dec. 19, 2011, against Pittsburgh.
Arizona must take care of the ball. And that includes QB Carson Palmer, who is coming off a three interception game and has thrown nine picks in 5 games.
On defense, the third-ranked Cardinals rush defense must neutralize running back Frank Gore and an oversized SF offensive line. For example, San Francisco has nine rushing plays of 20-or-more yards, ranking first in the NFL.
In addition, the 49ers now have the services of former Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin.
"It's just another game for me. It's a divisional game," Boldin said. "I'm four years removed from Arizona, so it's pretty much a turnover. I barely know any of the guys there, so it's not a big deal for me."
Bottom line – the Cardinals final trip to Candlestick Park (brand new Levi's Stadium will debut in 2014) will prove to be a measuring stick of sorts. Where do the Cards truly rank within one of the toughest divisions in the NFL?
"NFC West games are NFC West games. There is a rivalry to it," Palmer said. "There is nastiness to this division, especially defensively

Women and Wellness Across the Lifespan: Exploring Female Clients from a Wellness Perspective
Michele Kerulis, Adler School of Professional Psychology, USA
Leeja Carter, Adler School of Professional Psychology, USA
Tanya Prewitt, North Park University, USA
Theme: Exercise and health behaviors
Program ID: SYM-20
Presentation: October 4, 2013 11:30 am - 12:30 pm
Room: Elmwood
A goal of the "Women in Sports" special interest group (SIG) is to increase awareness of issues affecting women's adherence and engagement to regular physical activity. This Women in Sports SIG sponsored symposium examines exercise participation across the lifespan. The facilitators will discuss different kinds of physical activity, women's' perceptions of the activities, and how these activities can be beneficial for women of all ages. Women's participation in marathon running, engagement in mixed martial arts, and adherence to exercise will be explored. Three topics will be presented. First, Women on the Move: Examining Women's Motivations for Marathon Running examines themes that were uncovered through semi-structured face-to-face interviews with first time marathoners several weeks before the marathon experience and again after the experience. Next, Women Mixed Martial Artists' Personality Traits, Aggression, and Self-Perceived Wellness will provide information about a sample of adult females who participate in MMA and recommendations about encouraging non-traditional sports participation. Finally, The Reality of Today's Female Exercisers: A Consultant's Guide will discuss trends in women's exercise; myths women (and men) hold regarding fitness training for women; the pervasive socio-cultural factors influencing females' physical activity regimens; and women's exercise fears and challenges. The presenters will encourage attendees to consider wellness as a lifelong goal and will facilitate discussions about how to help female clients reach their full potential.
