Single DIN: 1 DIN dimensions will work with all single DIN installation kits we have to offer. Single DIN radios are the most common size for after-market stereos.
Single DIN slot with flip-out screen: The DIN stereo includes a retractable, flip-out screen. Before purchasing, make measurements to be sure there is no interference with dash accessories such as A/C vents or shift levers.
Single DIN slot with a larger face: Standard single DIN size, but the display is larger then the standard single DIN size. Due to the nature of the larger face, problems may arise when installing in particular vehicles. These stereos are great for single DIN slots where you want a larger screen.
1.5 DIN: This size is very uncommon in vehicles, however this size opening is most commonly found in Chrysler and Chevrolet vehicles.
Double DIN: Approximately 4-inches in height, this size is becoming more common every year. Prior to 2000, this size was typically only found in Japanese vehicles such as those made by Honda or Toyota. Now, it is becoming more popular for many vehicles to be fit with a Double DIN opening.
Detachable / Removable faceplate security: The most common anti-theft feature. It allows you to take the faceplate with you, thus disallowing operation, which deters theft.
Security Codes: Mainly a feature in high end video units which do not have a detachable face / screen. Once the unit is uninstalled (or stolen), a security code (or PIN) is required upon reinstallation. Though you no longer have your unit after the theft, the thief also does not have your security code, which makes the unit useless. The hope is the thief knows which units have security codes and he/she chooses not to steal your unit because of the security code.
Ghost technology: This is not commonly used, but can be found primarily in a select number of 2004-2005 head units. It creates an illusion that no unit is installed by appearing completely black when turned off. Potential thieves may steer clear because it appears as though no head unit is installed.
Anti-theft covers: Similar to ghost and hiding faces because they only create an illusion that the face/unit is not in place.
ESN: Stands for Electronic Serial Number. Allows the disabling of the radio and allows tracking if it is stolen.
Some manufacturers display peak power ratings on the face of their products to increase the appeal to consumers. The RMS power rating is more accurate, and we recommend using it for product comparison.
Dot-Matrix Text Display: A simple display which uses dots in specific illuminated color(s) to light up and form letters or numbers that are displayed on the receiver.
Graphic or Motion Display: Typically found in mid to high-end receivers and give your text information and receiver more life by adding motion, backgrounds, or multiple colors to your display. There are types of graphic displays such as 3D Graphic, Motion, and OEL (Organic Electroluminescent) displays. They can range from one color to full color displays and typically allow you to select from one of many built-in animations, background images, screensavers or other graphics to enhance your experience and add an extra bit of personality to your system. Some units also come with software that allow you to load your own customizable pictures or animations.
LCD Monitor Display: Can be as small as 2" or as large as 10". Some LCD displays are motorized for angle adjustment. LCD monitors display full motion video playback as well as your standard text such as track status, radio station information and more depending on the receiver's features.
Multi-Color: When more than one color is on the display, for example one part of the text is white, while the other part is blue.
Variable-Color: The display colors can be changed by the user. If the default color of text/display is blue for example, the user can change the settings to where the color turns to red. Variable color displays are typically described in detail in the item's description.
TFT-LCD Display: In-dash receivers with a video screen that display multiple colors and often times video such as DVD, navigation or other video sources.
This rating applies to both external car amplifiers, as well as the amplifiers inside of in-dash stereos.
RCA Composite Inputs
These are your typical red, white, and yellow RCA composite cables that are common among devices with audio and video inputs. The red and white cables are dedicated for audio. The red cable is for the right channel and the white is for the left channel. The yellow cable is specifically for the video signal. Because this type of auxiliary cable contains 2 channels of audio, it will support stereo sound.
This is commonly referred to as a mini-jack or a headphone jack. It is a 3.5mm plug that transfers audio only. There is a right and left audio channel on the plug which allows for stereo sound playback.
3.5mm AV Input
These plugs look similar to the common 3.5mm mini-jack, however they carry a third channel dedicated for video.
This means that an auxiliary input is possible, but only with the use of an optional accessory. These optional adapters will sometimes use the CD Changer port or other port on the back of a unit that might restrict the use of other expandability features. These accessories are typically sold separately.
This means that the unit is able to tilt backwards so that the proper viewing angle can be achieved. On single DIN flip out monitors, this type of pivot means that the bottom of the screen stays stationary while the top of the screen retracts. On Double DIN units this means that the bottom of the screen slides forward while the top of the screen moves down, resulting in a backwards angle tilt.
This means that the unit is able to tilt forward so that the proper viewing angle can be achieved. On single DIN flip out monitors, a forward pivot keeps the bottom of the screen stationary while the top of the screen moves forward. On select Double DIN units, a forward tilt is sometimes referred to as a reverse tilt. The bottom of the screen remains in the same position while the top of the screen moves forward.
Left/Right Angle (Horizontal):
Some monitors allow the display to be rotated to the left or right in order to have the best viewing angle possible.
Slide In/Out:
A feature mainly found in select Kenwood units. It allows the entire screen to slide in and out. This is different from a forward/backward tilt in that the entire screen moves forward or backwards as opposed to just the top or bottom.
Some in-dash head units are built-in with the navigation features, while others require an add on navigation box. Other navigation options include portable navigation units that you can take with you or attach to the dash of your vehicle.
RCA Composite Outputs
These are your typical red, white, and yellow RCA composite cables that are common among devices with audio and video inputs. The red and white cables are dedicated for audio. The red cable is for the right channel and the white is for the left channel. The yellow cable is specifically for the video signal. Because this type of auxiliary cable contains 2 channels of audio, it will support stereo sound.
If "Yes", then the aftermarket stereo is compatible with steering wheel remote controls. If an additional accessory is required for the steering wheel controls to work properly, a compatible piece will be listed.
Some Car stereos are compatible with iPods and/or iPhones. If the headunit can connect to an iPod or iPhone via USB or iPod connection cable, these listed iPods are compatible. This list does not apply if the iPod is being connected through the 3.5mm mini-jack plug. Newer iPods are usually compatible if the appropriate adapters are purchased and used.
Any iPods/iPhones released after the release date of this product have not been checked by the manufacturer and/or Sonic Electronix for compatibility. We therefore cannot guarantee their compatibilities or incompatibilities, including, but not limited to: playback, video, charging, and response time.

Very nice head unit. Great quality that I have come to expect from Pioneer touchscreen head units. Very refined screen and looks. Only issue that I have with it is when using an ipod you need to use the aux cord and usb plug.

I installed this radio and I'm really asking if it's worth the pricetag. Screen is nice, but the ipod navigation is horrible. You can't select playlist, or artists or genre. I mean, yes you can but if you press let's say the playlist you wanna play, it will open another menu with all the songs, then you select A song... you just can't press the playlist and bang, it plays the playlist. Some options in the setup menu can't be accessed and i can't find why (yes, parking brake is applied) I can't get in the bluetooth menu to import my contacts or whatever but phone bluetooth does work. Reverse camera image is mirrored and there's no option to switch the video. It's pretty useless when trying to hitch a trailer and you gotta think that when you turn right, the back end will go left on the image because it's mirrored... (I'm using a generic camera, not the pioneer model). Also, this thing won't play files from a GoPro HD Hero2 camera. I'm an outdoor fan and uses my gopro a lot, it's sad that i can't listen to my videos in my car with my friends on the site. Overall, for a top of the line product, it needs a big software update. Don't get me wrong, i'm a big pioneer fan when it comes to head unit. I changed an old 3400 for this one, the 3400 was bulletproof and sounded great AND, easy to use. Be prepared to spend big money to use the apps on the pioneer (GPS drive charges 25$) and again, is flawed because you can't hide the directions on the headunit even tho there's an arrow that you could press to hide them.

This is my review on the Pioneer AVH-P8400. Unfortunately, this is not really a positive purchase. I can honestly say I am pretty disappointed in Pioneer and this head unit. I am hoping Pioneer gets these issues straightened out and fixed with a firmware update.
First, the positive:
-This unit really sounded much better than my previous Pioneer Premier F90BT. There was a notable clarity once I switched to it.
-I can connect two ipods to it rather than just one.
-The G.U.I. was also very appealing.
-Not having a bunch of harnesses in the back of the unit was also a plus and made installation a lot easier.
-Most of the issues with the head unit appear to be software based, and hopefully will be fixed soon
-The screen has a very vivid and clear resolution. It is definitely one of the nicer screens I have seen.
-Very quick load up time. Unit is ready to go in seconds from turning the car on.
The Negative:
-The screen goes dead and does not respond to any touches intermittently. Considering so many features are controlled by touching the screen, this is a bad deal.
-If youre using an iphone, the iphone alert sound effects come though when listening to Pandora or the ipod feature from the iphone. Im not sure if its a head unit issue or a iphone issue, but when driving to music this is annoying.
-The GPS apps are garbage. PERIOD.
-If you connect the iphone before the Bluetooth connects, it causes all sorts of problems. The Pandora feature does not work, you have to use AppRadio in order to hear Pandora, but AppRadio will also not function properly. If you turn off your car for any reason, you have to disconnect the iphone when you restart it, if the Bluetooth connects while the iphone is already connected to the head unit, then you will have the above mentioned problems.
-The CD-IU201S Cable is ridiculously too short. The part of the cable that connects to the iphone is sadly only 2 feet long, which means you have to mount the iphone very close to the unit. I bought an Iphone extension and it caused AppRadio to no longer function. Ridiculous.
Im really saddened by this unit. I have been a loyal pioneer customer for many years. I have gone through 8 Units and this is terrible. I wanted to replace my F90BT with something newer and faster, with a more precise GPS. I originally was considering the AVIC-Z140BH, but I really didnt like that I would have to disconnect my ipod and connect my iphone to use certain features. I am accustomed to connecting my ipod, which has all my music on it, to the head unit and putting it in the glove box and not messing with it anymore. I was hoping for the same with the iphone apps but this is not the car. You have to use the iphone itself to control the iphone apps, with the exception of Pandora. This is dangerous as you have to keep taking your eyes off the road to do this, not to mention the clumsy short cable causing problems with reach.
I will say that as just a head unit its great. the major downside to it is the iphone/ipod controls in appmode. also the whole having to wait till bluetooth connects is also annoying. if you do it wrong you have to turn off the car and try again.

This is everything I have ever wanted in a radio. All of the features are amazing and every single one of them works as good if not better than expected. Also I used to have a Kenwood Excelon which had great sound quality and this beats it. There are absolutely no cons with this radio and I highly recommend it if you are willing to spend the money.

This unit is simply amazing, it has TONS of features, detacheable face, 4V pre outs, 8 band equalizer, hi def screen (which is really nice compared to all of the other units on the market), great bluetooth (highway speeds can cause me to sometimes repeat myself a few times but happened on my OEM bluetooth as well).
This unit is FAST, it takes like 3 seconds for it to boot up and start playing music....I have a fully loaded (4 GB of music) USB stick I use for the moment and it can switch sources, turn on and play within a couple of seconds. It used to take my older JVC KW-AVX830 a full minute to start playing music with a USB.
Overall amazing HU, nice UI, for Pioneers flagship model, they did an amazing job. It even comes with a remote, which is nice.

Canoeing on Lake Rotoiti
The Rotoiti Nature Recovery Project aims to restore approximately 5000 hectares of beech forest on the shores of Lake Rotoiti, in Nelson Lakes National Park. This is being achieved through an extensive predator trapping programme and the area is managed as a "mainland island".

"Mad Men" star Christina Hendricks wasn't the only one saying "Eyes up here" this week -- as Lindsay Lohan stepped out last night in an attention-grabbing ensemble.
Sporting a very blonde mane, LiLo was spotted in NYC in a verrrrrrry low cut satin dress, showing off her cleavage outside of Le Bain, where she was hosting a party.
Lohan's mother, Dina, was in attendance too in a red leather number.
What do you think of Lindsay's dress? Sound off below.
Too much bleach; did she get her tattoo corrected to include the apostrophe?
Once a slut, always a slut
I'm betting she has a big As-s "tramp-stamp tattoo" on her lower back, too.
According to one of our sources it turns out that more than throwing glasses at photographers was going on. Apparently one young female reveler had an artery on her arm erupt after a jagged glas***** her arm, courtesy of a belligerent Ms Lohan.
At this juncture no one quite knows if Lilo is to blame, but one thing's for sure the cops and emergency units came and had a very serious issue of a profusely bleeding guest. Judging from the pictures below, the cut looked fairly nasty (the carpet doesn't look sweet either does it?).
She looks stunning.........for a 50 year old
Oh, Lindsay. Yes, you've still got it. But no one wants to see it anymore...
Basic used up tramp with a pair of parents (and I use the term loosely) that don't have the combined IQ of frozen fruit!!!...a very typical scene these days with kids getting ZERO guidance from home...and in this case, typical parent that wants to be her "best friend" because otherwise there is no cash to spend...Haaa!!...imagine that!..just a pathetic scenario any way you slice it!!
Love the cleavage Lindsay Lohan is freaking really hot I met her in 2005 shes so beautiful and in 2007 we met again
Damn! That b!tch is not gonna live to see 27! She's Winehouse on a slower train-wreck.
On the other pictures she's not even standing straight - is she drunk again?
Nice Rack. Love the Lohan.
Big Fan, she is hot and a really good actress. Love the picture, of course I'm a man who really likes this actress. Wish her the best and can't wait to see her next movie with Travolta, hope it is still on

Fatal dose not known. Patients have survived ingestion of up to 2 g citalopram. The effects will be potentiated by alcohol taken at the same time. Potential interaction with tricyclic antidepressants and MAOIs.
Nausea, vomiting, sweating, tachycardia, drowsiness, coma, dystonia, convulsions, hyperventilation and hyperpyrexia have been reported. Cardiac features that have been observed include nodal rhythm, prolonged QT intervals and wide QRS complexes. Prolonged bradycardia with severe hypotension and syncope has also been reported.
Rarely, features of the "serotonin syndrome" may occur in severe poisoning. This includes alteration of mental status, neuromuscular hyperactivity and autonomic instability. There may be hyperpyrexia and elevation of serum creatine kinase. Rhabdomyolysis is rare.
Management should be symptomatic and supportive and include the maintenance of a clear airway and monitoring of cardiac and vital signs until stable. Consider oral activated charcoal in adults and children who have ingested more than 5 mg/kg body weight within 1 hour. Observe for a minimum of 4 hours due to long half life of citalopram.
Control convulsions with intravenous diazepam if they are frequent or prolonged. An ECG should be taken.

You get what you deserve
January 18, 2013 - John Stack
Lets start with a "joke". Knock knock. Who's there? The NRA. The NRA who? More guns. Unfortunately, truth can be more fun than fiction. For 20 years, the only answer for gun right activists and the NRA to any violence or gun shooting has been to demand more guns, not less. They have fought tooth and nail against any gun control bills, regardless the content. Background checks? It's just making it harder for law abiding citizens to have guns! Any limit on magazine capacity. Denied! Many many common sense gun control initiatives have been stubbornly fought against. In the name of what? Many reasons. Constitutional rights, safety, criminalizing legal behavior, and the monster red herring 'the chink chink chink of eroding gun owners rights until all guns are confiscated. I'm not even going to argue the pros and cons of any of these. I am going to say You had it coming. My brother is a gun rights advocate. Very bright. Great father, brother and husband. When Cuomo passed the NYS gun legislation, my brother was up in arms. And ya know what? I agreed with a lot of his arguments. Going from a max of 10 to a max of 7 for a shell magazine? A feel good measure that won't make probably any difference at all. Background checks on ammunition? Overreaching. The first responder portion? A political ploy that will save no one and appeals to our sense of vengenance (and puts first responders live more important than others?). Our representative up here mostly said that the bill had a lot of good in it, but also a lot of things they couldn't get behind. Understandable. But, the law passed OVERWHELMINGLY. Democrats AND republicans. At this time in history, it was hard for many of the politicians to fall back on old excuses, or even long held beliefs, with 20 dead children still on everyone's mind. I say – You got what you deserved.
Lets try a very topical story. Lets say 3 years ago, Lance Armstrong turns down a 5 million dollar deal with Wheaties. Says the only solution is more money (more guns). Now, Lance just admitted to doping. Has lost all his sponsors and friends. He shows up at general Mills headquarters: "Hey, Wheaties! I'll take the $5 million contract now!" Three years ago, if NY proposed some common sense gun legislation, such as more background checks, more permitting, more mental health funds, and the NRA said 'Yeah, makes sense. Lets do this" – we wouldn't be where we are today. We could have rightfully said 'yes, we are working on the gun violence problem. We are working on the root causes of the problem. We are way ahead of the curve on this one and don't need more restrictions, and the NRA has been our partner in this". Now though, every gun control advocate had their wishes all come through. More got pushed through in this legislation that I ever thought politically possible. This is what stubbornness and 'zero tolerance" get you. You get ridiculed, you get exposed for beiong completely out of touch, and you lose all credibility.
Guess how many NRA spokesman it takes to screw in a lightbulb? Answer: More guns. Now, that joke isn't so funny any more is it gun rights guys?

Pretty soon the sun will be blasting and the humidity will jump on us like a wildcat. Combine that with school letting out, a record high 27.5 percent teen unemployment rate and crippling budget cuts to programs that help keep kids off streets, and it won't take too long for our children to grow restless and violent.
That's not an exaggeration. Violence is known to flare up during summer, and children are about to be caught in the crossfire of Chicago's seemingly unstoppable gun violence and shrinking youth resources.
"I strongly believe this is going to be one of the worst summers ever," said Hector Escalera, a Cook County juvenile probation officer who covers a police district that includes Little Village. He is worried because grants have dried up for programs that keep kids engaged and safe during the long summer months.
"It's not even summer yet," he told me, and Little Village already has seen several murders and "recently a kid got stabbed. We have a lot of issues in the community, and if we don't provide youth with mental health, education and work opportunities, we are going to lose the battle."
Escalera and I had initially connected to talk about the larger issue of child and juvenile offenders. Increasingly, they are being treated as hardened adult criminals because of the perception that when kids do bad things, it's simply because they're bad and not because they're dealing with poverty, family drug or alcohol abuse and constant violence. That's a public misperception that has been buoyed by a dangerous combination of media and politics.
"These kids are just kids — they're youth who are very impulsive," said Escalera, who mainly works with 15- and 16-year-olds. "They don't do a cost/benefit analysis of their behaviors. Unfortunately people are talking more about treating youths as adults but it's coming from people using juvenile crime as a political platform to get re-elected. I'm not saying we're not going to lock up kids who commit crimes but we need to treat them with the compassion and love they deserve."
But that loving treatment — often from community-based organizations that provide children with safe havens from gangs and the effects of poverty — is at risk. Agencies that do this kind of case work are dealing with loss of federal and state funds just as summer begins.
Matt DeMateo, director of the Urban Life Skills program, a Little Village gang intervention and mentoring program, was just as glum as Escalera. The challenges are mind-boggling.
"Little Village has 50,000 youth under age 25 and the least amount of park space in the whole city," DeMateo said. "But last summer we actually had a strong decrease in violence. We gave kids a chance to be kids by providing fun sports opportunities like softball in addition to help with school, drug counseling, anger management and finding jobs.
"But with three different funding sources all on the chopping block, we're preparing for what could be the worst summer we've seen in a long time," DeMateo said.
"Summer jobs where we've been able to keep youth busy and productive aren't there, increasing pressure and stress on families who count on their kids to help pay the rent. We need to get ready for a potentially really violent summer," he said.
DeMateo isn't one to throw in the towel. He has helped make the organization thrive for the last 10 years through the generosity of unpaid volunteers and kind-hearted donors.
"There are a lot of good people with a lot of good hearts out there, and if they're interested in helping out or donating anything — sports equipment, computers, money — we're asking them to contact us at urbanlifeskills.org," he said.
"Whatever happens, we're absolutely not going to stop the work we're doing," DeMateo said. "But any help we can get will allow us to reach more kids."

This proposal is under construction and is not ready for review.
<ac:macro ac:name="unmigrated-inline-wiki-markup"><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[
Zend_Ical is a component that provides an easy interface to work with ICS calendar files.
Zend Framework: Zend_Ical Component Proposal
Proposed Component Name
Developer Notes
Ben Scholzen
1.1 - 22 September 2007: Initial proposal (wiki revision: 13)
Table of Contents
1. Overview
2. References
Zend_Ical is a component that provides an easy interface to work with ICS calendar files.
3. Component Requirements, Constraints, and Acceptance Criteria
- This component will handle ICS files from different data sources (filesystem, FTP and webDAV).
- This component will be able to write data back to ICS files.
- This component will will strictly follow the RFC 2445.
- This component will only support iCalendar V2.0
- This component will be able to get dates for a given time range.
- This component will be able to search through calendar data.
- This component will validate any input before writing it to ICS files.
- This component will not cache any data using Zend_Cache or the filesystem.
4. Dependencies on Other Framework Components
- Zend_Exception
- Zend_Date
5. Theory of Operation
Zend_Ical will take a path or URL to an ICS file as argument for the constructor method and a boolean, which indicates whether the ICS file is write protected or not. The parser of Zend_Ical will then parse the ICS file in a two pass mode. The first pass tokenizes the raw data and puts them into a tree structure. The second pass will then convert properties like dates and property pairs into something more usable like Zend_Date. The two pass way is needed, because in the first pass, the time zone settings of the ICS file are not known.
After the parsing you can call different methods to gather data from the ICS file or add additional data to it, if it is not write protected. If you try to write to a write protected file, Zend_Ical will throw a Zend_Ical_Exception. Every data you add to the Ical object will be validated, so that other programs will always be able to handle the ICS file as usual.
At the time of writing, Zend_Ical will only support the iCalender 2.0 format.
6. Milestones / Tasks
- Milestone 1: design notes will be published here
- Milestone 2: Working prototype checked into http://zend_ical.svn.dasprids.de/
- Milestone 3: Working prototype checked into the incubator.
- Milestone 4: Unit tests exist, work, and are checked into SVN.
- Milestone 5: Initial documentation exists.
7. Class Index
- Zend_Ical
- Zend_Ical_Exception
- Zend_Ical_Parser
- Zend_Ical_Parser_Exception
- Zend_Ical_Parser_Node
- Zend_Ical_Parser_FirstPass
- Zend_Ical_Parser_SecondPass
- Zend_Ical_Source_Exception
- Zend_Ical_Source_Interface
- Zend_Ical_Source_Filesystem
- Zend_Ical_Source_Ftp
- Zend_Ical_Source_Http

BILLINGS-The Billings Fire Department is investigating the cause of a fire that sent a man to the burn center in Salt Lake City. The fire destroyed a mobile home at 302 Jackson Street, #49. It began at 1:43 a.m. on Wednesday.
According to Deputy Fire Marshal Matt Schieno, the fire began when a husband and wife were inside of the home. The wife was able to escape without injury. The husband was initially taken to Saint Vincent Health Care and then flown to the burn center. Exact details on how severe the man's injuries were are not available.
The property and contents of the home were not insured. As of Wednesday morning, there was no estimation on the cost of damages.
The Billings Police Department is also assisting with the investigation. Lieutenant Kevin Iffland says it appears illegal drugs were being manufactured inside of the home. It is unclear at this time if this is what started the fire.
KTVQ will keep you updated with more information as it becomes available.

Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.
Don't get caught up with John Wayne religion. For one thing, he's not Texan. He's in some fine movies involving Texas, most notably The Searchers, but none of his movies can make the best cut of Texas movies. Here's the short list.
Tourist Traps. Some are absurdly large. All are monuments to the bizarre notions of the human spirit.
The short simple list.
Nothing to agonize over. Simply the best.
The unique and inexpensive water filtration system utilized at Texas A&M and showcased this summer at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. exemplified one small, but profoundly impactful way that the university is fulfilling its land grant mission in the colonias — impoverished communities in the Texas borderland where more than half a million people live without running water.
For more than two decades, the Colonias Program, overseen by the Texas A&M College of Architecture, has been implementing sustainable solutions aimed at transforming these communities, reducing their isolation and helping their residents become full participants in the U.S. economy and society.
There are currently 2,333 colonias in the United States, mostly located along the 1,434-mile Texas border in 14 counties contiguous to the Rio Grande River, said Oscar Muñoz, Colonias Program director.
Though characteristics of these small, rural, unincorporated communities vary, they all generally lack one or more of the physical infrastructure amenities most take for granted: running water, sewer systems, paved roads and storm drainage.
Because of their remote locations, poor economic conditions and cultural segregation, colonias residents tend to be isolated from government services and the various social safety nets that provide education, job training and placement, health care, and programs for the young and elderly.
The Texas Legislature recognized this problem in 1991, establishing the Colonias Program and asking the College of Architecture at Texas A&M to oversee it. In the ensuing 20 years, the program, aimed at catalyzing community self-development, has grown to include 22 community resource centers and 18 service centers, with five new centers in the works, said Muñoz.
From the beginning, the program has worked closely with and relied upon the colonias residents themselves. It has orchestrated a wide range of programs aimed at involving neighbors in activities that help them become connected to the larger community outside of the colonia, while strengthening the social infrastructure within.
"In short," said Muñoz, "the Colonias Program gives residents a hand up — not a handout."
Aiming to reduce isolation, increase self-sufficiency and enhance the quality of life in these communities, the Colonias Program has also partnered with more than 400 agencies to provide educational services, GED instruction, economic and community development assistance, and programs addressing literacy, job training, dropout prevention, job referral, health education, youth and the elderly.
Many of these services are provided at the program's community centers, tailored to meet the unique needs of each service area. Made possible by partnerships with local entities and mostly operated by county governments or local school districts, they provide classrooms, libraries, medical examination rooms, auditoriums and fully equipped playgrounds. The centers offer colonia residents a place to exchange information, identify problems and develop solutions while serving as a platform for the delivery of a wide range of services and as a community hub and meeting place.
Additionally, aided by a partnership between the program and the Texas Transportation Institute, many of the community centers provide a fleet of vans to assist colonia residents in need of transportation for such things as health care, employment services and day care.
Connecting the colonia residents with available services are more than 80 promotoras, the outreach arm of the Colonias Program. These neighborhood advocates undergo a six-month training program certified by the Texas Department of State Health Services that sharpens their skills in interpersonal communications, capacity building, service coordination, advocacy, organization and teaching. Because they are also colonia residents, they have a unique ability to quickly gain the trust of their client neighbors and connect them with services aimed at elevating their condition.
In Starr County, for example, a team of 22 promotoras accompanied by three supervisors and five van drivers made 3200 home visits to colonia residents during a two-month period, recounted a former program director. From that effort, he said, the local Texas Workforce Commission, which provides workforce development services to job seekers and employers, reported receiving 800 new clients.
"We attract, nurture and develop a wide base of talented men and women and unleash them to respond, impact and transform," said Jorge Vanegas, dean of the Texas A&M College of Architecture.
"Thanks to their hard work and the crucial support of more than 400 community partners, for two decades the Colonias Program, through its community self-development initiatives, has made great strides in helping families realize their dreams of self-sufficiency and better lives for their children. What counts now are the next 20 years," he continued, "but I have unwavering hope that the future we want and need will come."
The Texas News Scrawl is a handy reference to stories Texas Business recommends from other news sources. Some of the stories that Texas Business currently suggests include: Texas regulators not aware of potential CFTC manipulation probe, Irving spends incentive dollars to lure two corporate headquarters and almost 2,000 jobs; Hotels, restaurant operators prep for record Final Four; Star-Telegram presses roll one last time; Robert Rodriguez breathes new life into an old vampire favorite; ClubCorp buys Prestonwood Country Club in Dallas and Plano; Office Depot overcharged Dallas by up to $3.6 million, city auditor finds; Texas power market monitor resigns amid unresolved reform debate; and more.

Hello again. Will read back later, but I'm heading out for a run tonight...woo hoo!
Just back in from 10 miles or so in sun/ rain/ heavy rain/ sun .............etc, etc. Cat seriously damp and disgruntled on my return. Am trying out new Gels - the same they give out at LN mara- clif shots, not sure.............perhaps the gut troubles are just co-incidence, may need to go back to an old tried and tested type, and ignore the freebies on the day.
Am in post - olympics CSI catch-up mode. I bet half the folk listenenig to the closing ceremoy were confused when they played the CSI theme!
Obviously, despite saying I find closing ceremeies depressing, I watched anyway, found it quite depressing except some good (old) music- Freddie and John Lennon both starring, despite being dead, queen, the who, and "bright side of life" were highlights, but what were the models, that VERY young boy band, and George Michael all about ?. Hate to think what the rest of the world thought of that!
Just back from a short run. It's our wedding anniversary on Sunday, so we're off to Crieff Hydro tomorrow for 2 nights. YorkshireT - there are some good runs in and around Crieff - local club is Strathearn Harriers. I know they organise a 10k, mostly on trails - I haven't done it but my husband has.
Good luck to anyone racing at the weekend.
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and ideas.
Alison I had heard about the Crieff 10k route though not done it yet, does look good from what I see on the website. Guess I could step up to the 1/2M route by Strathearn too, might be a few more weeks before I get to that level again.
Freefall Bunny, not sure what the Perth 10k route is, perhaps the one they used for the Kilt Run? Certainly some decent routes to be had down the riverpaths on the Almond and Tay. As for Heaven and Hell route, used to live in Scone so that was one of my faves when I was up there, excellent roads & views indeed.
Sue W, Like the Cateran Trail idea, might involve 2 cars though which could prove tricky... Will look up Heart of Scotland, not familiar with that.
No "running" running tonight just football, though reckon I covered a few miles, though never dared wear GPS yet to check for fear of breakage and insults! Got a nice run to work in the mornin' though which will set me up right.
Thanks again all for being so welcoming...
Oh while I'm on and in an advice seeking mood and everyone seems so friendly. Anyone got any recomendations for a decent running belt? Just big enough for a mobile & keys etc. Recently got an Adidas one http://www.rayworldsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=35&products_id=124
which loosens almost imediately after you've tightened it, just need something that will stay in its place and go down small enough for my waist, think a lot of these things are built for larger folk. Also be good if there were options for putting bottles /gels on if need be. Not trusting the online reviews at present as the one I got had 5/5 across the board!
Morning from a very wet, but warm Erskine
TP: They'd put a safe walk to school route map on the school website.Saw this just befoe going to work at 7am yesterday
Morning Tri.
Alison: Enjoy Crief Hydro. We were there a few years ago. Nice place.
Passed three Cuban athletes yesterday in Argylle Street in the centre of Glasgow.They'd official Cuban Olympic kit on. They looked like a coach and three discus, shot or 'heavy event athletes'
Morning BM.
Track session and easy run to/from last night. Good session.
Night off tonight, off out for dinner with bf.
Good session planned tomorrow before tri on Sunday... weather not looking good though
YT - I have a nathan neoprene belt which is good. Adjusts and stays put. I also have an adidas belt that has 3 small water bottles as well as a small pocket and it is also very adjustable and stays put, unlike your one.
Tricialitt - as I am sure you and everyone on the forum has heard ad nauseum I am prone to gut issues. I find the cliff shots OK but not great. Best ones for me are SIS, and recently discovered Torq. I actually really like the torq ones as the flavours are good and not too sickly. Also, I have been using an isotar energy drink that has been formulated for seisitive guts. It is called digest plus. That really seems to keep things settled. I drink some before an event and then also during.
My training plan for yesterdya did not go to plan. Ended up doing weights at 9.30 pm and a cycle at 10.15 pm Then showered and sat for a while until about 11.30, went to bed, and then Tallulah thought it would be fun to bring in 2 mice in the early hours That was the insomnia back with a vengeance
Morning all
Monsoon season again ! I am building up to walking to the shops but its not looking inviting .
I have been sticking to the SIS orange isotonic gels as I seem to get on best with those. I've never tried Clif shots but they have been around for years in cycling - it seems logical to me that something developed for use on a bike is not necessarily going to convert easily to use when running, if that makes any sense - so I have avoided them during marathons etc.
Alison - happy anniversary for the weekend.
Tri chick - good luck for Sunday - think its meant to be boiling hot (well in some places anyway!!).
YorkshireT - I use an SIS gel belt, elasticated with a small pouch at the back for phone etc - unfortunately it does not take a bottle, but its okay for runs where you want to travel light, or events where they have lots of water stations. Anything longer distance I use a backpack. I have just sold a nathan bottle belt on ebay that had been sitting in my cupboard for about three yrs - I couldnt tighten the belt enough so it bounced around lots.
YUK - once more into the rainy breach!!!!!
Yes, happy Anniversary weekend Alison
I am hoping that forecast is correct and that the rain clears by late afternoon so that i can have a relatively dry run after work.
Evening all!
Not been on here for a while due to holidays. Have had a quick read back, well done to all racers!
I got back last night from a week in Lanzarote to heavy rain! Went to the gym to do my 7 miler today. Managed a couple of runs on holiday, some sessions in the gym, RB ran every day but one!
Got the Bella 5k on Sudnay - anyone else? Also going for a steady run at Glasgow parkrun tomorrow.
Evening Kirsty
When does your school go back then ?
All the best for Sundays 5k
Happy anniversay Alison, have a great weekend
Good luck Tri & Kirsty for Sunday.
FFB, thats interesting info re:fuelling for sensitive guts. My sis-in-law has been struggling to get anything down on her long runs. I might suggest the Isostar stuff to her. No doubt you've tried everything for your sleep (or lack of) but I've had some success with Valerian tincture.
Might venture out for a wee run tomorrow to test the head cold. Going stir-crazy
I got the full range of sights of the Scottish summer on this evening's run. The Carnival is in town, the arena set up for the highland games, the local kids getting huckled by the polis for drinking, Nairn beach, great sunset over the Sutherland hills flanked by rainstorms over the Moray Firth, midges, a beautiful double rainbow.
parkrun event directing for me tomorrow then off to Aberdeen to meet up with 6 of the inlaws .
Happy anniversary Alison, and happy running in on what might be a fine weather day for us all.
I'm just back from walking Geordie
Dreich with smiry rain. Will run later. as our washing basket is full to overflowing.
57.5; 'Enjoy' the inlaws...
Tri: Morinng and all the best for tomorrow.
Afternoon all
Hot and muggy run for me this morning, at least missed the rain, 15.3m hills done in the end. Avoided Pollok Park cos apparently the 'coo show' is on today? I didnt realise until the last minute this morning, luckily saw it in free paper.
57.5 - Eeeeek!
Kirsty - welcome back.
Good luck all racers tommorrow.
I have loads of ebay things finishing today, so this evening will be spent packaging things up .
welcome back Kirsty.
Pollok park was ok. The coo show was small and round in a small field at the back of the house near the stables.
I did 13.25 miles today. Had set out to do 15 but misjudged my route. Due to issues with sleep and energy I tried a run 12 mins walk 3 mins. Interesting. It certainly meant I kept a steady pace and my energy levels were OK. It did not seem to lose out much on the time either.
Birkmyre - I go back on Monday - the kids on Tuesday!
Busy day of trying to get ready for school
Kirsty: I can well imagine it being a busy Monday.

Yes, I agree – you can "somewhat easily" create a meeting and set it to be in a different time zone… but when you need to schedule a conference call with people in New York, Brussels, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Australia — the interface for creating a meeting won't help you at all! I wish you "Good Luck" in fact.
So this morning, on LifeHacker.com, there was a nice, but quick, post about a new web site to help you (or Administrative Assistants) and the web site is called …
The web site is a bit slow right now (probably because of the LifeHacker.com effect) but here's what the web site looks like when it loads:
It's simple, nice and once you've got the time zones you want, you can even copy-paste the link to that page into the meeting invitation so that the folks who receive the meeting invitations can also refer back to the same page.
Maybe one day, Lotus will overhaul the Meeting interface to include a similar feature to help our AA's when they have to schedule all the top-execs of the company…
In the meantime, I hope this helps someone, somewhere … and if you've got another web site that you use for scheduling meetings across time zones, feel free to drop it in the comments section!

RELEASED: April 28, 2008
EAU CLAIRE — Four University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire kinesiology students tied for first place for research papers they presented at the Northland American College of Sports Medicine Spring Tutorial Meeting March 28.
Seniors Amy Nikolai, Marshfield, and Brittany Novotny, Plover, presented their paper, "The Cardiovascular and Metabolic Responses to Water Aerobics Exercise in Middle-aged and Older Adults."
In their paper, Nikolai and Novotny classified water exercise as a feasible alternative to traditional land-based exercise since some individuals have difficulty with traditional exercise.
To do the experiment, the researchers hooked up subjects to a metabolic analyzer and a heart rate monitor while they participated in a 50-minute water aerobics class at UW-Eau Claire. They also obtained resting and maximal exercise data from the subjects.
"Our results concluded that water exercise does meet the American College of Sports Medicine's physical activity guidelines for improving and maintaining cardio respiratory fitness, which is a key factor in preventing and controlling disease," Novotny said.
Senior Whitney Hay, New Richmond, and December 2007 graduate Laura Geissler, Coon Rapids, Minn., presented their paper, "The Knowledge and Prevalence of the American College of Sports Medicine Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors and Cardiovascular Fitness in College Students."
"The purpose of our study was to risk stratify college students for cardiovascular disease according to the American College of Sports Medicine and to assess their cardiovascular fitness," Geissler said. "We had 81 students from a general education wellness theory class participate. Each participant completed a health knowledge survey prior to participation."
Geissler said the study found there was a general lack of knowledge among participants regarding cardiovascular disease.
"Our most striking results showed that 55 percent of participants were dyslipidemic (had abnormal lipid profiles with high total cholesterol, low HDL-cholesterol, high LDL-cholesterol and/or high triglycerides) and 57 percent did not meet physical activity recommendations," Geissler said. "After evaluating each participant for cardiovascular disease, we found 49 percent were stratified at moderate risk and 51 percent at low risk for the disease."
The results clearly demonstrate a need for intervention within this population, Hay said.
"If the risk factors are already present at age 18-25, they are most likely going to increase with age and could result in serious conditions and diseases," Hay said.
Geissler and Hay hope the results of their study will be used to increase knowledge of cardiovascular disease among college students, thereby decreasing their risk of getting it.
Each duo was awarded $375 to go toward field-related activities, certifications and conferences. Both papers were done as faculty-student collaborative projects in fall 2007 with Dr. Lance Dalleck, assistant professor of kinesiology.
For more information, contact Dalleck at 715-836-3774 or email@example.com.

Updated: October 9, 2013 7:49PM
In his Aug. 27 column ("Illinois workers deserve say on union membership"), Scott Reeder ignored protections already provided to workers under federal law.
While he uses catch phrases such as "forced union membership," the fact is that federal law has for decades allowed workers to opt out of union membership and out of the costs of political activities with which they do not agree. The only difference with "right-to work" laws is that they allow workers represented by unions to pay absolutely nothing while forcing the union to provide them equal representation.
Organizations such as Reeder's Illinois Policy Institute, whose history is rooted in total opposition to organized labor, do not support "right-to-work" laws because they benefit workers. They support them because by legally forcing unions to provide services for free, "right-to-work" laws weaken unions and leave workers' rights to be attacked and wages to be eroded without strong representation.
"Right-to-work" is not an issue that only affects unions. Its economic results have a negative impact on all workers. The Washington, D.C.-based Economic Policy Institute reports that workers in "right-to-work" states earn an average of $1,500 less annually than in free bargaining states. In "right to work" states, fewer workers have health insurance and employer-sponsored retirement benefits. Does that sound like a good alternative?
Furthermore, the Illinois Policy Institute focuses a great deal of its resources upon legislative initiatives that would weaken unions and reduce workers' earnings, so to be critical of labor's efforts to counteract them through political engagement is pure hypocrisy. As long as there are shadow-funded groups such as the Illinois Policy Institute using distorted information to weaken the middle class, you can bet that unions will be there to fight on the side of workers.

Objects to anti-union letter
I feel compelled to respond to the Aug. 29 letter from Alicia Martin, president of the Illinois chapter of Associated Builders & Contractors, which is a group of greedy contractors pushing for right-to-work legislation.
I noticed in her letter that ABC has changed its rhetoric from right to work (for less) to "merit shop," as if that would make its con game more palatable to the working man and women. It does not.
Union and nonunion contractors bid on the same jobs. Union contractors pay good wages, provide health care, pensions, etc., by being fair to their employees. ABC contractors pay lower wages with no health care or pensions — leaving their workers to fend for themselves with substandard pay without benefits of any kind in this faltering economy.
I choose to honor union construction workers and contractors because we are the safest, most productive workers to be found anywhere.

CHERRY VALLEY (WIFR) -- A Rockford man is now facing five charges after he allegedly went up to some teenagers at Magic Waters and asked to perform a sex act on them.
Rockford Park District Police say Tommy Carroll, 28, went up to a 16-year-old last Friday and attempted to solicit a sexual act. The 16-year-old and his mother went to the police. Officers quickly found Carroll and after a small struggle were able to take him into custody. Later police learned a 14-year-old made a similar complaint involving Carroll at the water park.
Carroll now faces two counts of solicitation of a sex act. Two counts of disorderly conduct and one count of obstructing police.

Jungle Jim's adventure

Award Winning bathrooms at Jungle Jim's
Contributed by Brad Fuller
What a crazy week it has been! Actually, it has been a crazy past four weeks. Like I keep saying, first semester of junior year is really really hard. But I'm learning a lot and I know it will prepare me well for physical therapy school.
This past weekend I hosted a hall activity where we went to Jungle Jim's International Marketplace during the day (with a stop at chipotle) and I cooked an Indian meal for my residents afterwards. If you have never been to Jungle Jim's, I highly recommend it. They have any type of food you could imagine! I love to cook but I have never really cooked Indian food because it is difficult to find the spices and all the essential ingredients at Kroger in Wilmington. However, I took advantage of the Indian section at Jungle Jim's and bought all kinds of spices to make different curries and dals. I decided to cook masoor dal with cinnamon rice and asparagus. It was delicious! And the leftovers are lasting all week. If you like spicy food at all, you would love Indian cuisine. I'm hoping to make a somewhat authentic Asian dish of some sort for my residents next month, any suggestions on what to make??

A study location of mine from last week (on campus)
Contributed by Brad Fuller
If for some unfortunate reason you did not notice, the weather was perfect last week! While this is nice for outdoor activities, it can sometimes be hard on study habits (no matter how unusually warm winter was). However, there are ways to get around the temptation to quit studying and [in my case] do nothing but go on long bike rides every day after class. One way is simply to study outside. Studying does not have to always be boring, in silence, or in the library. Once you are to a point where you can do more learning than organizing, it is easy to find a spot on campus to study. Another nice weather study tip is to walk somewhere off campus to study. You still get the stimulation of being outside, but you also go somewhere with a purpose. This purpose will help you study more without the temptation of taking a nap or snacking. As an athletic training major here at Wilmington College, I have a ton of studying to do. However, there are definitely ways of easing the load a little bit! Finding a study strategy takes a little while, but you will be relieved once you found one that fits your style.

Music and school life
February 25, 2012
Contributed by Brad Fuller
Over the next few weeks, I will be listening to Grimes' new album entitled "Visions". The album just came out the past week, and I am very impressed after a couple listens. Grimes is the stage name of Montreal based Claire Boucher, and she describes the latest album as "post-internet". Whatever this means to you, her music is heavily influenced from electronic sounds she has heard growing up. There are layers, loops, and catchy rhythms with human-emotion based lyrics. I still have a lot to listen for, but so far this album is great!
In the Wilmington College Athletic Training world, the new week brings another rotation switch for the sophomores and juniors in the program. Next month, I will be with the Baseball team. I have never worked with baseball, so it should be a good experience! The week after next will be spring break, and I couldn't be more excited. I never understood what a break really meant until this year, but I will fully embrace nine days without class. My schedule is very difficult this semester, with 14 credit hours of athletic training classes, but I guess I can't expect it to get any easier in the future. I hope I can adjust soon!

Looking back, looking forward

The image I am not looking forward to; snow
Contributed by Brad Fuller
The new month is almost here, and I am more than ready for it, but without the cold. Last year on December 1st, we had measurable snow on the ground here at Wilmington College, and this year the day will be starting out in the low 20s and be very chili. However, I am going to try to get a couple of bike rides in before the weather turns for the worst.
My athletic training hours this month have been slightly less eventful compared to other rotations. I am with the indoor track team for the rest of the semester, and because their season just began in November, their injuries are very minimal. Nonetheless, it is nice to have an on-campus rotation and not have to worry about a commute. Over the winter break, I will be helping to cover a high school wrestling tournament at Blanchester High School, where I did my high school football rotation earlier in the year. I am excited to be back there where I know most of the team members from football and being able to learn about wrestling. I have never even seen competitive wrestling before, so it is about time I learn a thing or two about it.

Almost Break Time
November 21, 2011
Saying goodbye to nice weather for the year
Contributed by Brad Fuller
This part of the fall semester is the hardest part of the year for me. During the spring, there is a week break right in the middle of the semester, which evenly breaks up the semester. In the fall, we don't get a substantial break until thanksgiving. This can be especially difficult when you have a heavy class load. However, the break is almost a reality! It will be nice to get to go home and spend some time with family and friends, while only halfway studying for finals, which are quickly approaching. Thanksgiving is usually the time a stop wishing it was warm outside and accepting that winter is almost here.
During my Athletic Training hours this month, I have been with the indoor track team. They are usually fairly low maintenance and injury free, so we have been discussing and reviewing various subjects at practices. Although I am learning a lot that I have not learned in class, it will be very helpful once I have taken all of the classes and practice time will be good for reviewing. The best way to learn is through discussion and practical application, things that cannot be learned as easily in the classroom. Next semester (spring of sophomore year) is when the workload really picks up and we learn a lot of the information we will be using on a daily basis. I'll be looking forward to knowing how to do injury evaluations and making rehab programs!
