Two very special people - one a student, one a faculty member - were honored at the April meeting of the Island Trees Board of Education for their outstanding contributions to the school district.
Island Trees senior Brittany Wilson was recognized at the board meeting for a vast number of accomplishments throughout her high school career, culminating in the winning of the 2013 Nassau BOCES Educator Partner Award, which is given to those who promote education on Long Island.
Island Trees high school Principal Nick Grande ran down a list of Wilson's many accolades- she is the senior class president, president of the National Honor Society, and president of the yearbook committee. In addition, she is captain of the varsity cheerleading team, was named homecoming queen last year, and is an active member of many school organizations, as well as excelling academically.
"Brittany has a weighted average of 104.4, and is ranked number seven in the senior class," Grande said. "She has received an academic scholarship to attend Hofstra University next year in their pre-med program, and tonight we honor her."
Next, the board paid homage a true hero in their midst- Michael F. Stokes Elementary School faculty member Sheryl Emigholz, whose recent actions saved the life of a young boy choking during an afternoon concert rehearsal, according to Stokes Interim Principal Robert Harrington.
"I turned, and I saw her in a bear hug with one of her students who was choking on an apple," he said. "Twice, she had to perform the Heimlich Maneuver on little Stephen, successfully...she just sprang into action so quickly, and the situation was over in seconds, thanks to her."
Island Trees high school English Department Chairperson Elizabeth Roemer also gave an update on the district's preparation for the adoption of New York State-mandated Common Core learning standards, as well as difficult new state assessment testing designed to gauge the effectiveness of those standards.
"The Common Core curriculum is very rigorous, the assessment tests are very complex...we were told by the state that overall student scores would very likely go down," she said. "However, we have been preparing all year for them, and we are working to see what we can do to better prepare them for next year as well."
However, Roemer pointed out a flaw in the state's recent assessment testing that has been administered to students- the amount of time that kids are given to complete is woefully inadequate, she said.
"The timing is not what they had predicted," she said. "They said that, in 70 minutes, students should be finished. 70 minutes went by, then 80, then 90...timing is an issue, and our students, as prepared as they are, can't show what they know. This is a problem across all of Long Island, not just Island Trees."
The board also announced an increase in the price of school lunches starting new year; starting in September, lunch at the elementary schools will increase 25 cents to $1.75, and lunch at the middle and high school will also increase 25 cents, hiking the amount up to $2.
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Charles Murphy clarified for the parents in attendance that the lunch price hikes were mandated by forces beyond their control, and that the Island Trees district was doing all that it could to soften the blow.
"This isn't something that we want to do, but the Federal government is really directing us to do that," he said. "The price has to go up again and again until it hits a certain price point, which is $2.59. We're going up in increments so that we don't do it in one year."

Residents escaped an Omaha house fire Tuesday morning, though two dogs and two cats died.
The fire at 22nd and Miami started in the kitchen. The stove was left on and caused a pot of grease to catch fire. A neighbor told Channel 6 News he heard the homeowner screaming, so he ran over and made sure the two adults and one child inside got out safely.
Two people were taken to the hospital to be treated for possible smoke inhalation. Crews managed to get the dogs out of the house, but they did not survive.
Due to the extensive damage, the house is considered unlivable. The Red Cross was contacted to help out the family.

Some nights you feel like going to the movies. Others, you want to hit the sports bar. These homeowners can stay home and do both.
"They love to entertain, and they wanted a high-performing space that exuded elegance," says Michael Wohl of electronics installation company Media Design Associates (MDA) in Dania Beach, Fla. "Since they had extremely high standards and friends in very high places, we had to raise the bar for them."
MDA did that, literally, by providing a bar counter with stools that serve as the third row of seating—plus a full-service wet bar to the side of the main theater room. MDA collaborated with Jay Miller of theater design firm Acoustic Innovations, as well as interior designer Stacey Slintak of Decorators Unlimited to transform what was an unused bonus room.
A Stewart Filmscreen fixed display measures 110 diagonal inches and has a high-definition broadcast aspect ratio of 16:9 for all of the DirecTV sports drama the owners can handle.
And to watch several games at once on the single screen, MDA installed Crestron's DVPHD dual-window high-definition digital video processor.
"It was like giving them their own private sports bar," says Wohl. If it's movie night, the homeowners can scroll through their entire DVD collection stored on a Kaleidescape movie server.
A 7.1-channel JBL Synthesis audio system generously complements the video. The installers did not want the big sound leaking into lower floors and the master bedroom, so Iso Floor, plywood, carpet and padding was used to attenuate more than half of the acoustic energy. In addition, SoundCor barrier material was applied behind the Sheetrock to further reduce sound transmission and stiffen the walls for better bass. Draperies, fabric-covered acoustical panels, and bass traps also enhance the performance.
The room's finishing touch is an equipment rack that's out of the way so it doesn't distract during movies but is accessible enough for the owners to show off. It's certainly a barroom conversation piece.

Former Pats Captain to Undergo Cancer Treatment
November 01, 2012
The thoughts and prayers of the entire Pats organization are with Brandon Davidson and his family at this time

Hey, we all like success stories; and IVR solutions provider Angel definitely has one you can learn something from.
The company has worked with some pretty big global pharmaceuticals. And they've learned the general corporate culture. "When it comes to many technologies, pharmaceuticals can be slow to change, often times for regulatory or other pressing reasons," Angel officials said in a blog, adding that this "go it slow" attitude extends to their IVR: "It becomes a major technological and regulatory undertaking to overhaul the IVR systems of a pharmaceutical company."
A year and a half ago, Angel was selected to assist with an IVR overhaul for "49 brands of one pharmaceutical," according to company officials, who said that prior to contracting with Angel, this pharma had "significant complexities, such as IVRs connecting to other IVR's, IVRs connecting to call centers, a jumble of different IVR vendors, drastically different voice talents and IVRs interacting with multiple data sources."
So you can see the urgency. Needless to say, this wasn't doing great things for the pharma's customer satisfaction numbers. As would be expected in such a confused situation, this led to high caller frustration "since the IVRs weren't talking to each other, nor were they pushing data to the call center representative, who had to ask the caller to repeat information previously provided sometime earlier in the IVR."
And we've never seen hard numbers on this, but we can safely bet that the No. 1 irritant, hands down, for customers using an IVR would be "having to repeat my account number to some yahoo after I've entered it in the machine four times."
So the company used Voice User Interface design, rapid application development, standardized reporting across the enterprise, and application tuning using Business Intelligence analytics to improve lead generation and increase overall customer satisfaction
The pharma itself broke down the ROI thusly: A 50 percent reduction in IVR operational cost, 35 percent increase in lead generation across all applications, 25 percent savings in live agent costs and a 20 percent increase in call containment.
However you look at it, those are impressive numbers.
Join the Crowd, Moving to the Cloud
Companies are increasingly turning to the cloud as the ideal solution for replacing their legacy IVR system.

C&D tests GT-R, runs 11.5-second quarter
by Dan Roth (RSS feed) on Mar 24th, 2008 at 9:57AM
Click above for a high-res gallery of the Nissan GT-R.Scorching fast. That's the word from Car & Driver on a Nissan GT-R they were allowed to instrument up and abuse for a few hours. 11.5 in the quarter mile and a 3.3 second run to 60 mph are incredible numbers from any car, but this one only costs $70,000. That price tag would be preposterous for a Sentra, but it's a bargain for the ability to annihilate virtually anything short of a Hayabusa. There's been some debate about the three little words "engineering test mule," but scuttlebutt has it that the only thing Nissan was testing on... Read More

Apple's Gone Rotten With Patent for Ad-Supported Macs?
Apple, though, reportedly believes that all those pop-ups, videos, and obscuring banners just aren't sufficiently irritating. According to the New York Times, the company is developing a terrifying and absolutely disgusting patent that would basically give Apple the right to shill anything on any of its devices at absolutely any time.
Hidden behind the unassuming name of 'Advertisement in Operating System,' the sinister plan would enable Apple to run unstoppable and unavoidable ads on the operating system itself. The ads could even lock a gadget or computer until the spot is completed, or in some infuriating cases, lock the device until the user interacts with the bogus interruptions.
Apple claims that the so-called "enforcement routine" would only be enabled for people who actually agree to being constantly bothered. But, the program is still considerably troubling, particularly coming from a company that takes pride in its trendy, hipster image. If Apple does carry out this despicable plan, it should probably change those already annoying TV ads: "I'm a

A team that five-years ago was made up of a dozen friends has now exploded into one of the most envied soccer programs on Long Island. 2011 New York State Manning Cup Champion Mineola Portuguese Soccer Club (MPSC) will break an organization record this spring by fielding 10 teams and over 200 players at one time. Their existing 2 men's amateur and 3 youth teams will be joined by four additional youth teams in the Just Say Soccer League and a new adult women's amateur team in the LISFL.
MPSC's trademark Premier team will be looking to win the club's first ever League Cup in the spring, with a seventh League Championship still in sight.
"With the core of the team back and several key additions, we are looking for a strong close to the season," Said Premier Team VP and Captain Georgi Spanos. Meanwhile, the Reserves are "red-hot" said VP Daniel Carlos; who await powerhouse NYGA in the State Cup Sweet Sixteen, are in the League Cup Semifinals and tied for first place overall in the LISFL.
The relatively new youth division is also prospering. "We are getting applications to join every day, the club is accommodating everyone we can," said club President Marco Dafonte. Now with seven teams in the 6-10 year-old age group the "sky is the limit," he said, playing off the pun that all youth teams are named after weather patterns. The existing three youth teams have yet to lose a single game in the 2011-12 season and have already brought home four prominent tournament cups.
And finally, in the spring, the LISFL and President Gus Xikis have brought a nationally affiliated women's soccer league back to Long Island and the MPSC will be there too. With Woman's Professional Soccer halting its 2012 season, professional and NCAA Division 1 Student-Athletes have already begun signing on to the first ever MPSC-Women's team.
The Portuguese American Club-affiliated team has also been busy on the organizational side, securing several key sponsorship deals with long-term supporters Rite-Way Carting & Demo, Bairrada Restaurant, Empire Surgical, and renowned Orthopedist Dr. Dave Pereira – in addition to a 2-year extension on Powerbar's Team Elite program. MPSC is also preparing to host their annual soccer gala in May, which traditionally sells out with current and former stars of the game highlighting the evening.
"One parent asked me why does our organization work so hard in support of the community-" said VP Gabriel Marques. "I respond that we want ensure that our children will have a team and community that they can take ownership in and be a proud part of in the future."

Drivers advised to take Allen Rd. bridge in Bakersfield during construction
Construction caused delays
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -
The contractor for the Westside Parkway Phase 6B moved Allen Road traffic onto the newly constructed bridge on Wednesday, Dec. 12.
Motorists traveling on Allen Road, between Stockdale Highway and Brimhall Road, anticipated periodic traffic delays lasting up to five minutes between 8:30 and 11 a.m. This allowed the contractor to remove concrete barriers, re-stripe the roadway, and complete other tie-in activities.
This section of Allen Road will continue to operate with one lane in each direction while the contractor finishes work on the new bridge and eastbound ramps to the Westside Parkway.
All lanes (three in each direction) will open to traffic when this work is completed in early 2013.

The lawmaker demands insurance companies, banks release funds immediately
(MINEOLA, NY) – Legislator Dave Denenberg (D-Merrick) announced Wednesday he is pushing for legislation to help those struggling to pay for repairs to their homes following Superstorm Sandy. He seeks to spread awareness of proposed bills that would potentially help release much-needed funds in a reasonable amount of time from insurance companies, as well as banks or mortgage lenders, who have delayed payment to Nassau residents having a hard time paying to cool their homes and rebuild.
As the 4th of July approaches, as well as hurricane season, many remain unable to live in their homes and are in desperate need of these funds. Homeowners are forced to dip into their savings accounts because insurance companies and banks are holding up the process by delaying payment and misinforming their customers. With the two bills that he originally proposed in March, Legislator Denenberg and his Democratic colleagues are hopeful that Sandy victims can receive the money they desperately need to rebuild their homes and find some sort of normalcy restored to their lives.
"It has been 247 days since Sandy struck and people are still not in their homes because the money they are rightfully due is being held up," said Legislator Denenberg. "This has become a long and devastating road to recovery, and it is unacceptable."
The first bill Legislator Denenberg and the entire Democratic caucus are supporting would amend the County Administrative Code regarding Unfair Trade Practices to provide a more speedy approval of insurance claims, as carriers are suspected of purposefully delaying and denying payment to customers in dire need.
Under this law, if the insurer wrongfully denies a valid claim, fails to answer a claim within 30 days or delays payment without providing reason for doing so, they can be subject to substantial fines and penalties. The law also gives the individual policy holder or the County Attorney the right to sue the insurance company for immediate payment of the full insurance benefits plus interest, and to recover additional damages including (but not limited to) compensation for emotional distress, property damage and attorney's fees.
The second, proposed by Legislator Denenberg, would require banks to promptly release homeowners' insurance payments in the event of a major disaster. This would ensure that once the money is released, customers would receive their payment in a reasonable amount of time – not several weeks or months.
Banks or lending institutions that hold the mortgage on a home are considered "part owner." Any insurance claim that is paid out for damages must be signed-off by the homeowner and bank or lending institution that holds the mortgage.
Numerous complaints from residents state that bank delays and burdensome requirements have delayed their ability to move forward with necessary home repairs. In one Merrick homeowner's case, the definition of a single word has led to an increasingly frustrating recovery process:
The resident, who wished to remain anonymous, only received partial coverage for damages to his raised ranch because of FEMA's definition of "basement," which they have now deemed his lower level (despite the initial adjuster stating it was not). According to this resident, his home is placed entirely aboveground, and if the earth in front of the home were removed, one could walk from the street in front of the home to the lower floor level while always walking uphill.
"The FEMA position in my situation absolutely defies logic," he said. "Everything is a negotiation. This is not the way it's supposed to be."
This Merrick resident appealed to FEMA on June 13 and is awaiting a response. The initial adjuster came in November and did not send a declination until March 13, supposedly. This was not received by the resident until June 4.
These complications also affect local businesses and contractors, as they are relying on the rebuilding of Nassau County to help them recover the business they lost as a result of Sandy. If enacted, these laws would help expedite the payment of insurance proceeds to homeowners affected by Sandy or a similar natural disaster in the future.

When I saw this today...I HAD to laugh!
This man is comfortable in his Speedo AND his own skin!
You go, Man!
Get yourself off on the right foot this year!
Sorry for the pun but I couldn't help it!
This is a very simple way to start becoming active this year!
We have been watching American Ninja Warrior for three seasons now. Each year, we see the men and women vying for their chance to defeat Mount Midoriyama. There are contestants from all walks of life: mailmen, rock climbers, schoolteachers, doctors.
Each evening we all watch it together, all three kids, Bradley, Anderson and Jayden, all say "Daddy can do that!" And Chad smiles. They continuously ask him if he will try out for the show and finally, yesterday morning, he had to give in.
Oh, this is real. There is even a video demonstrating the four basic steps.
Are YOU ready for PRANCERSIZE?
We are all looking for ways to get in shape and one of the easiest things you can do to start your way to fitness is WALK.
Doctors will tell you that. Physical activity is a vital part of losing weight. And here is one way you can "Step up to the plate"!
You listen to weather updates so you know how to dress. You wash your hands so you don't get the flu. You wear your seatbelt to keep you safe in the car. You are a prevention machine. But are you working to prevent the number one cause of death for both men and women, heart disease? For American Heart Month, we're focusing on ways to avoid this preventable disease. If you want to keep your heart healthy, one of the best things you can do is weekly aerobic activity. Here are five exercises to keep your heart strong:
There was a recent story that even though Valentine's Day is right around the corner, people are getting so fed up or frustrated with Facebook that they want to take a break from it for a while.
That's true for me! And here's why...
Having NEVER watched The Biggest Loser before, I felt inspired to this year because it involved children. Not only were adults trying to change their lifestyles but so were three kids who have been struggling with their weight their entire lives.
If 3 children can be inspired to get healthy, why can't we?

Once again, sandbags were being filled near the Waldo Canyon burn scar. Saturday The Coalition for the Upper South Platte held a workshop to help people protect their homes from continued flooding.
The hands on experience was a chance for volunteers to fill sandbags and build a diversion wall around a house. Theresa Springer with CUSP says that it's more than just filling sandbags up and throwing them in a pile. The construction of the wall with alternating layers and no continuous seams will help protect property.
CUSP tells us that flooding is going to be a major concern for many years around the burn scar area. There will have to be continued maintenance of flood protection measures during that time.
Ace Construction was on hand today to lend a hand, but Theresa says that they are in need of more volunteers all the time.
If you would like to donate your time, or would like CUSP to evaluate your flooding risk, call them at 719.748.0033 or click here.

I love coming here for lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food/ServiceCeltc9Dined on 8/2/2014The food defiantly took a turn for the worst!!! Have been to this place several times before and the lamb and the falafel were really good. This time the lamb was completely fatty , at least 50% was fat, and for $20 for the lamb dinner I expect much better lamb!! The falafel was burnt and to make matters worse the sever forgot to order and it came and the end of the dinner!! At least they didn't charge us .. Time to look for a new Greek restaurant !!!Special Features:

- The food will bring us backMillcreekdiner14Dined on 7/26/2014We enjoyed our first visit to Cafe Neo. The food was good and arrived quickly. Our server did not provide water with our wine and beer, so we asked for water as well. I got mine right away, but my husband had to ask 3 times for water which he eventually got after he had finished his entree. There was a bit of a wait to get our desserts, but it was worth it. The mini desserts were delicious and very affordable. Our table was at the very front of the resturaunt near the hostess station. The hostesses were chatting about personal things (relationships, guys they'd hung out with, their weekend, etc.) and it became pretty distracting. The unique menu will bring us back to Cafe Neo, we are hoping for more attentive service next time.Special Features:

- Overall good place to goinmyopinionDined on 6/15/2014We have been to Kafe Neo for lunch and dinner and thought it was great. Tried brunch for the first time. The food was really good (I highly recommend an order of the doughnuts for the table). The waitress was very friendly, but there were little things that could be improved on. For instance, we had to ask for the sugar/sweetener for coffee, and when it came, it was nearly empty and we had to ask for a new one. We also had to keep asking for cream, and one of our six orders arrived a lot later than the other five, so that was awkward. But I can forgive these little things because overall it was good and I'd go back.Special Features:
- Very nice experienceThejesusDined on 6/6/2014We walked in, we were greatest promptly, found a table we liked and were greeted by the server quickly. The food choices were great and everything was delicious! Myself and my date enjoyed ourselves in a nice atmosphere with minimal noise. Our server was very nice and polite and checked on us numerous times. Overall great job start to finish!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Service awesome, food a little offMillCreekDinerDined on 5/23/2014We dine at Kafe Neo's about once a month or so and normally the food is pretty good, but Friday night the food was not at it's best. The service was awesome though and we love our waitress Bethany. She really tried to make it right. Hopefully the next time we visit the food will be back up to its normal quality.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still goodtiggertiffin87Dined on 5/23/2014Another visit and I had the gyro...and I devoured it in seconds. :) Was really good. The meat they used tasted fantastic. We go during lunch so I don't experience loudness or a wait to be served.Special Features:

- My food was coldGraniteJanetDined on 4/26/2014Sorry, but the smoked salmon benedict was cold. The potatoes were very hot, but the rest was cold. We got there right after the restaurant opened for the brunch and there weren't many people.
- Greek GemGregorsPubDined on 3/10/2014Great little place in the heart of Mill Creek. Plenty of parking, and a fun little walking trail to work off that extra baklava you just had to have. To be honest, it has slipped a little since the last time, but also to be fair, we dined early this time. The lamb was cooked perfectly, however the sauce was applied with a bit of a heavy hand. The salmon was over-cooked and dry to my taste, but my wife loved it. Side veggies were wonderful, as were my rosemary potatoes. As always, the service made up for any food quirks. Really love this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent foodBrianDined on 3/8/2014Great food, close romantic tables/booths. Only complaint was that an appetizer of bacon-wrapped dates (tasty) only had 5 dates, which worked out to be close to $2/date.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- will go backCamiDined on 3/7/2014Small establishment with Great Food and Good service. A little noisy, but it was Friday night. Loved it :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We usually go the Kafe NeoLoveKafeNeoDined on 2/14/2014We usually go the Kafe Neo in Edmonds but we heard the one in Mill Creek was bigger so thought it would be worth the extra drive. I made reservations for Valentine's Day weeks in advance. When we arrived they were going to seat us at this tiny table with no space. If the table for four next to us were to be used it would have been impossible for them to even pull out their chairs. We moved to the bar to a better spot. The food was amazing as usual and the service couldn't have been better. We will return :).Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- LovelyCsswDined on 1/27/2014Everything was very nice except we had to remind our waiter about our drinks more than once and he forgot to bring more napkins. He was pleasant but forgetful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Greek at its BestBeanieBabeDined on 11/6/2013If you are a greek food lover, this is the place for you. The appetizers are fabulous and quite the variety.

Will definitely go back over and over.Special Features:
- repeat customer disappointedmissymDined on 10/14/2013I ordered the lamb suvlaki. The meat was over done, tough and tasted more like beef than lamb. The vegetables were swimming in oil I should have stuck with my usual...the salmon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Four DLC map packs will be included in the Season Pass and will go for the price of $49.99. If a player purchases the Season Pass, they will also get an exclusive Ghost Team Leader Pack, which includes bonus digital content and a new multiplayer character. One of the most interesting things about this is that when you purchase the Season Pass, it will upgrade to the next generation of consoles (so, if you own an Xbox 360, it will upgrade to the Xbox One, and it will be the same for the PS3 and PS4) for free for a limited time.

text: On August 6, at 2005 central daylight time, a Grumman G-164A, N9041M, sustained substantial damage when it impacted the terrain near New Boston, Illinois, after a loss of engine power during cruise flight. The pilot received minor injuries. The Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 137 aerial application flight departed Aledo, Illinois, at 1900 on a local flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. No flight plan was filed.The pilot reported that he had finished spraying his last field for the day and was heading back to the airport when he lost power and oil pressure. He reported that smoke was pouring into the cockpit. He reported that he was over a wooded area, but he managed to make a forced landing in a cornfield. The airplane impacted the terrain and skidded up on its nose. A Federal Aviation Administration airworthiness inspector examined the airplane. He reported that one of the engine cylinders had failed and a hole was visible on the side of the cylinder. Aircraft records indicated that the 600 horsepower Pratt & Whitney R-1340-AN-2 engine had accumulated 1,026 hours since the last overhaul. The engine had accumulated 157 hours since the last annual inspection conducted on January 20, 2005.

Walk 27 event held in Escondido to honor victims of Sandy Hook school shooting
Participants walked as victim's names read aloud
ESCONDIDO, Calif. - Scores of people turned out in Escondido early Friday morning as part of a national effort to honor those killed at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., last week.
Walk 27 began at 6:30 a.m. (9:30 a.m. EST), as a way to commemorate the exact moment one week ago when the school shootings began. The event was promoted on Facebook.
Carol Rea of the Old Escondido Historic District was the local organizer.
Walkers gathered in front of Escondido City Hall well before dawn, and promptly at 6:30 a.m., began the 27-minute walk around the block, ending at Grape Day Park as the names of all 27 victims were read aloud. That included the name of Nancy Lanza, shooting suspect Adam Lanza's mother.
Many of those who took part in the walk wore green and white, the Sandy Hook school colors.

On March 17th, 2014, a Guinness World Record for the largest book domino chain was set by a group of students and staff at the Czestochowa School of Economics in Poland. Together, they built a domino chain made of 4,998 books. They were able to break the previous record owner's domino chain of 4,845 books, which took place in Antwerp, Belgium in November 2013. Although we don't know how much effort it took for the Czestochowa students to set up their book dominoes, we do know that it took 40 volunteers and two hours to set up the Antwerp book domino chain.
What do you think? Should the St. Paul Public Library be next to break the world record for the longest book domino chain? If you're interested, let your librarians know and maybe we can make it happen!
Check out the Antwerp book dominoes (completed with fireworks at the end!) down below:
P.S. Speaking of dominoes...How about human mattress dominoes? It took 10 minutes for 1001 human mattress to fall!

Sound the alarm
Don't have the money for a home alarm system? Well, if you have a car with a panic button built into the key, you may not need one. The Modern Survival Blog suggests keeping your keys by your bed at night, and if you think you hear an intruder, pushing the button. Your honking, light-flashing vehicle will almost certainly deter a criminal and will alert your neighbors that something is amiss.

Companies must meet the technological demands of telecommuting workers and those taking advantage of "bring your own device" (BYOD) policies while still finding ways to secure corporate data. One option is a virtualized infrastructure for telecommuters—one in which their entire work desktop environment is offered to them remotely.
In essence, a virtual desktop environment separates the applications associated with a computer's operating system from the physical device itself, allowing the components of that operating system to be accessed on any device with an Internet connection, such as a tablet, thin client, or smartphone. Rather than data being stored on the device, it resides in a cloud computing environment, such as the company's data center or a public cloud.
"Virtual desktop basically says, 'Keep all the information in one place, keep it secure, keep it safe…make sure that access is limited,'" said Donald Parente, director of technology strategy-chief architect at AT&T Federal Solutions. He says the virtual desktop is "like a window into the environment you're working on. You're typing here on your iPhone, but it's really being typed into a session that's hosted somewhere else. That's kind of a difficult concept to grasp, but that's essentially what's going on with virtualization. The app is not running on your device; you're simply looking into the app from your device," said Parente, who spoke at the Mobile Work Exchange Town Hall in Washington, D.C.
Among the places using this approach is the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). "[M]any of our employees are mobile based on what their work is," said Darren Ash, chief information officer, who also spoke at the event. He explained that the virtual desktop solution is ideal for NRC employees who have to do work at various nuclear plants far from the main offices.
While the approach appears similar to the concept of Virtual Private Network (VPN), a remote access option preferred by many enterprises, Parente noted that users connecting over VPN may experience latency with what he called "chatty" applications, or applications that are database transactional in nature.

text: The pilot stated that the flight was in preparation for a biennial flight review. The approach and landing at the intended airport was uneventful. While on the landing roll, at taxi speed, with all three wheels on the ground, a strong crosswind gust, which exceeded rudder authority, started the airplane to ground loop. The pilot applied the brakes resulting in the airplane flipping over on the runway incurring substantial damage to the fuselage, wings, and empennage sections. The pilot stated the winds were variable from 030 to 300 degrees gusting from 12 knots to 22 knots, and there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions of the airplane or any of its systems prior to the accident.

text: On June 9, 2002, about 1415 Pacific daylight time, a Cessna 180, N2228C, ground looped and overturned during landing at Columbia Airport (O22), Columbia, California. The pilot/owner was operating the airplane under the provisions of 14 CFR Part 91. The private pilot and passenger were not injured; the airplane sustained substantial damage. The personal cross-country flight departed Palo Alto Airport (PAO), Palo Alto, California, at 1330, en route to Columbia Airport. Day visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed.The pilot stated that he witnessed two other aircraft landing on runway 35, so he also landed on runway 35. The AWOS at Columbia Airport reported the winds to be 290 degrees at 8 knots gusting to 15. He made a three-point landing and was coming to a stop when a sudden burst of wind lifted the left wing and the tail off of the ground, swinging the tail to the right. The tail continued to lift until the propeller struck the ground and the airplane flipped over. He said that the plane was tracking straight on the centerline at 25 miles per hour when the wind disturbance was encountered.The airport has two runways, and are on a magnetic heading of 170-350 and 110-290. Runway 11-29 is 2,600 feet long and 100 feet wide, and is turf.

City says let tax agreement expire
Thanks for sharing midnitewatchman. There would only be two reasons the city council and mayor would hire a PR firm,
1) The morons believe that the public does not read the TFP and other news sources to understand the sales tax agreement.
2) They want to hire their old buddy Waterhouse, the Recycle Racoon guy that East Ridge fired.
I recently called the City about my stormwater bill, and the city employee had the nerve to state, "public angst about the fee is behind us, like all news stories, the concerns fade and so should yours." That reflects the attitude of Littlefield and the Council, they don't what we think.
City of Chattanooga considers PR help on tax agreement
Thank Goodness, Mayor Coppinger and common sense. Mayor please help the citizens of Chattanoooga. We are trapped in the land of stupid, with Ron Littlefield and his sheep. The City has a full time pr spokesperson, Beeland, yep that has helped alot. No, we have to spend our hard earned tax dollars on hiring someone to speak for our Council members.
Chattanooga City Council weighs term limits
I am for term limits, Robinson, Rico, Benson are not good steward of public money. It is wrong every day of the week, to force tax dollars from working class families to pay for art pursuits. These 3 have been on an art spending spree each year, $250,000 Allied Arts, 45,000 Public Art Director, 179,000 Crutchfield and assistant art waste, pottery studio,...this is BS spending of hard earned property tax dollars.and it goes on and on. These 3 gotta go.
Union backers see room for gains in area
The Chattanooga Organized for Action is that silly group that forgot to get date column filled out on by the signatures on the recall petition. Almost all of the verifiable signatures came from our local Tea party. I attended a Tea party meeting where this group was, and I assure you that only have about 20 members at best. To portray this group of kids as a large grass roots organization is fiction.
Waste director cut loose over marina spill, city still liable
Salsa, right on target. The City Attorney is a perfect match for Littlefield, both equally incompetent.
New inspection confirms problems at Chattanooga Zoo
I am no longer in favor of our City taxpayer dollars going to the Zoo, unless they find a professional zoo manager. While the Friends of the Zoo think they are entitled our out taxpayer dollars for this venture, they are not. Based upon the USDA report. I am in favor of major changes at this facility. I do not care what Ms. Long thinks or her excuses, she should not be running the zoo and charged with the well being of these animals.
Mayors want city, county to thrive together
Chattanooga has regressed with Littlefield, and lost all of the forward momentum from riding the coat tails of Mayor Corker. Littlefield's cronies are equally as incompetent, mostly political hacks, like Crutchfield, Paul Page, Davy Crock, Al Chapman…. Littlefield's years as mayor will leave a legacy of wasted time, money, and no progress. Our Mayor is corrupt, and time will tell of the true story will be told on Rev. Overstreet, and the TN Par gang.
Chattanoogan.com reporter apologizes to county over e-mail
Why is Staff Reporter listed, and not the reporter that was hung up on?
New inspection confirms problems at Chattanooga Zoo
The Chattanooga Zoo obviously needs alot more oversight and management In this case, animals are not being fed. I think that is a huge problem and show lack of management. They should be ashamed.
Littlefield calls city courts 'toothless tiger'
Inconsistent, for sure. Littlefield is a liar, moving the Judges is unconsolidating the courts. Littlefield priased the one stop shop Justice Center, when the City contributed $4 million in tax money to have the city courts housed in the Center. The public is starting to wake up and see the inconsistency and lies of the Worse Mayor Ever. Problem is our City Council is sheepish and mostly followers, and allows the Mayor to do as he pleases. In the meantime, I think the public will not wait for the end of the Littlefields term. Another recall will occur, because the public absolutely despises this Mayor and his cronies.

Education goals based on race have no place in a Florida classroom. Period.
Florida should dump new benchmarks that set higher reading and math standards for white and Asian-American students, and lower expectations for blacks and Latinos.
Education goals based on race have no place in a Florida classroom. Period.
Florida should dump new benchmarks that set higher reading and math standards for white and Asian-American students, and lower expectations for blacks and Latinos.
Creating a culture of low expectations for people of color can establish a self-fulfilling prophecy and an environment that allows for easy excuses.
Besides, employers don't demand less of Hispanic workers or more of Asians. They expect Florida schools to develop a well-educated workforce capable of navigating the challenges of today and tomorrow.
Yet this year, the Florida Department of Education will implement different education goals based on a student's race. It expects 90 percent of Asian-American students and 88 percent of whites to read at grade level within five years, compared to 81 percent of Hispanics and 74 percent of blacks. A similar disparity has been set in math.
Now consider that more than half the students in Broward and Palm Beach county schools are black or Latino. Imagine the message these lower standards send: We don't expect as much from you. You're not wired as well. Meeting the high bar is not in your foreseeable future.
"If you stick to these goals of inferiority, our kids are not going to reach the same goals and standards," says Patrick Franklin, president and CEO of the Urban League of Palm Beach County.
State officials call race-based goals realistic for addressing achievement gaps among minority groups. Yet they also proudly point to recent gains, including a national study that shows Florida ranks first for graduating Hispanic students. The study also shows test scores for black and Hispanic students rose at higher rates than for whites and Asian-Americans.
So progress is being made.
Without question, it's important to create honest assessments and set achievable goals. But setting a lower standard based on race violates our society's norms.
That's why the Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach County and the Southern Poverty Law Center this month filed a complaint against the goals with the U.S. Department of Justice.
"Rather than promote the success of all of Florida's children, the state's race-based achievement goals set lower academic expectations for certain groups of children, thereby sanctioning and perpetuating differing levels of educational achievement by race or national origin," the complaint says.
Florida has a hard time facing hard truths about education standards meant to raise the bar. For two years in a row, it has artificially inflated school grades to compensate for falling FCAT scores. Yet when former Gov. Jeb Bush first implemented this system of testing and accountability, he said it would end a culture of excuses.
Similarly, as governor of Texas, former President George W. Bush said: "Some say it is unfair to hold disadvantaged children to rigorous achievement goals. I say it is discrimination to require anything less — the soft bigotry of low expectations."
Children tend to reach for the stars when they can see them. Dimming academic expectations for black and Hispanic students discourages the belief that they can excel.
Florida should shelve these race-based education goals and set uniform standards that expect the best, no matter the color of a child's skin.

3D browser apps and games creep ever closer with the WebGL draft standard
Draft standards rarely undergo many changes, and most of the important details and unique selling points are now set in stone. There are already nascent, developer versions of WebGL built into beta versions of Firefox, Safari and Chrome -- and now, with the draft standard in place, you can expect to see rapid development of both full WebGL support in the browser, and applications that can utilize the new technology.
Don't expect to see first-person shooters like Modern Warfare 2 rendered in-browser for a while though; it's still very much early days. First you'll see 3D-editing tools, then simple virtual worlds, and eventually in-browser 3D games that rival their native-code cousins.

1998 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Hilary Klonin, Michelle Peters, Parakkel Raffeeq*, Andrew Durward*, Jon Meliones, Ira Cheifetz. Divisions of Pediatric Critical Care at Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina and Hospital for Sick Children*, Toronto, Ontario.
Introduction. Negative pressure ventilation may be beneficial for improved secretion clearance in select patients either alone or in combination with positive pressure ventilation. High-frequency external chest wall compression has been shown to improve peripheral and central mucus clearance in a canine model.^{1,2} We report two pediatric patients in whom the secretion clearance mode of the negative pressure Hayek Oscillator (Breasy Medical, London) improved pulmonary function.
Case 1: The first case is a 4 month old infant with chronic lung disease of prematurity who had been recently extubated after recovery from ARDS. This infant subsequently developed complete collapse of the left lung and right upper lobe. This patient was ventilated using external chest wall oscillation with intermittent secretion clearance in order to avoid positive pressure ventilation and its associated risk of barotrauma, especially in vulnerable lungs. The lungs were re-expanded in 3 days and the need for reintubation was avoided.
Case 2: The second case is a 16 month old child with bronchiolitis obliterans and plastic casts of the airway who failed to improve after 18 days on ECMO. The secretions were successfully mobilized only after negative pressure ventilation was commenced. This patient's dynamic compliance increased from 0.35 mL/cm H_{2}O to 0.72 mL/cm H_{2}O over the first 24 hours on the Hayek Oscillator. The oxygenation index decreased from 15 to 5 (without a change in the oxygen delivery via the ECMO system). After 48 hours of using the secretion clearance mode, the child was weaned from ECMO. Two days later the child was successfully extubated.
Discussion. Negative pressure ventilation is a non-invasive form of respiratory support which when used alone avoids the complications associated with endotracheal intubation and positive pressure ventilation. When used in association with positive pressure ventilation, negative pressure ventilation may shorten the duration of ventilation. The Hayek Oscillator has the advantage of a highly effective secretion clearance mode which consists of oscillation around a negative pressure baseline followed by a "cough" mode which has a prolonged inspiration and a forced short expiration. The effects of this relatively new mode of ventilation on mucocilliary clearance are largely unexplored in humans. The laboratory data and case reports, such as presented here, support the need for a clinical trial of negative pressure ventilation for secretion clearance.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - An overnight prank has forced an Arizona State University landmark to go green.
The Arizona Republic ( http://bit.ly/XtzxIN) reports the giant A on "A" Mountain in Tempe near Sun Devil Stadium was painted green sometime early Thursday morning.
Students attribute the prank to University of Oregon fans. The two schools are scheduled to face off in a football game Thursday.
ASU students had painted the A black ahead of the game and say as of 3 a.m. Thursday, the letter was still black.
Students have traditionally kept watch over the mountain before games with rivals.
Kickoff for the game is scheduled for 6 p.m.
