A Run on the Banks
Forget the treadmill. Get outside and try a canal.
Imagine yourself jogging, sans iPod, to the song of birds and the faint sound of lapping water. Your sneakers rhythmically pound the ground, unearthing pebbles and bits of sand. With every few strides, you inhale mighty lungfuls of air, the piquant tinge of nearby water making each breath that much more invigorating.
For the Trill of It
It's springtime, and love is in the air. So, too, are the sonorous harmonies of the Orpheus Male Chorus of Phoenix. Arizona's longest-standing, continually-performing choral organization celebrates its 84th season with performances of its spring concert, All We Need Is Love. The genre-spanning afternoon will include everything from eye-dabbing romantic classics to upbeat numbers guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
Chorale Riff
For Phoenicians, the cost of a decent classical concert needn't include airfare to Carnegie Hall. Hailed as one of the finest professional choral ensembles in North America, the Phoenix Chorale (formerly Phoenix Bach Choir) has won two

AZ-Made Bags Extra
We were pleasantly surprised by the abundance of cool, Arizona-made handbags in the Valley – so many, in fact, that we had enough left over for a bonus page
Ostrich Purse
Snowflake-based leathersmith Richard Polvino can – and has – made bags out of turtle shells, but a certain flightless fowl is perhaps his favorite media. "I've had boots made out of ostrich that lasted me 20 years, so a purse should last longer than a lifetime," he says. Classic twist-lock closures add function to form.

Who needs Gucci or Prada when you can have a cowboy boot clutch? Loosen the purse strings for one of these Arizona-made bags.
Necktie Bags
The local-first firebrands at MADE art boutique are all about Valley-based designers and accessories, including clutch bags and tote bags ($20-$30) made by designer Matt Rainy from men's neckties.

It amazing, it has a supercharger, great handeling, and is a revolutianry combination of both that has never been acomplished in an american car.
It is a measly $120,000 and although you will get a lot of pony for your dollar, it quite an invesment.
It Is The New Era Of American Supercars — This car is the ultimate driving machine, and it combines two of the bigest thing people like about supercars. lots of horse power and great handeling. previous generations of the corvette had all put great focus on the power and speed. However this new 2009 version has combined it all together by adding a supercharger and a new supesion.

The Abu Garcia Veritas Spinning Fishing Rod has been developed with an extreme light weight design and focus on the balance and compression strength anglers must have. The first time you hold the Abu Garcia Veritas Fishing Rod in your hand, you will be shocked how light it feels. Its balanced, lightweight design incorporates Nano Technology into the rod construction for added strength. Nano Technology provides 2.5 times the impact resistance of standard graphite rods through the manipulation of graphite on an atomic level. This prevents microscopic nicks and dings that cause other rods to snap. Now you can count on your rod to stay intact when that all important fish is on the line. The 30 Ton rating of the Abu Garcia Veritas Fishing Rod indicates a superior grade of graphite. The result is a lighter rod with increased sensitivity. The higher the tonnage, the stiffer the fibers used in the construction of the rod. the stiff fibers of the Abu Garcia Spinning Veritas Fishing Rod more efficiently transmit vibrations to your hand so you can feel more strikes.

10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

Tips for making New Year's resolutions that stickby Lia Steakley Dicker
We are full of good intentions when we write down our resolutions for the new year. But for the majority of us the thrill of accomplishing our New Year's resolutions remains elusive. We might promise to run that race, but never cross the finish line. We might aim to overcome frustration, temptation, and procrastination, but sticking to our resolutions can be hard. So what's the trick to making resolutions that stick?
When selecting resolutions for the new year, use the following tips to convert your enthusiasm for change into year-long commitment toward personal growth. Doing so will help you avoid future disappointment and launch yourself on journey of self-renewal.
Photo taken by kkalyan
Be deliberate
Resist the urge to impulsively make pledges for the upcoming year based on what's bothering you at a specific moment. Spend a week, or longer, evaluating your priorities for the new year and think about how your resolution fits with these objectives. This is a great conversation to have with a friend, "Could you see me doing this goal, this year?"
Leave the past behind
Refrain from adopting old resolutions to prevent past regrets from following you into the future. Instead, redefine failed goals. If "lose weight" didn't work last year, consider the new approaches of "eat healthier" or "exercise five days a week"
Stay positive
Swearing off bad habits such as "I will never bite my nails again" only emphasizes the forbidden behavior. For better results, cast resolutions in a flattering light and vow to "Take better care of my hands and nails"
Shorten the deadline
Recent research found 80 percent of people don't keep their resolution past Valentine's Day. Maintain yours until July 1 and you will have accomplished more than most. We're betting the buzz you get from successfully making reaching the six-month mark will carry you the rest of the year.
Define the obstacles
Acknowledging and preparing for the challenges upfront allows you to better navigate bumps in the road ahead.
Go public with your plans
Telling others about your goals helps you in a couple of ways. Writing the goals down and sharing them with others can increase your sense of responsibility to meet your objectives. It also gives others insight into what you are trying to accomplish and opens new doors for support.Lia Steakley Dicker is a Seattle based journalist and editor of the 43 Things Book: Dream It. List It. Do It. How to live a Bigger & Bolder Life

Wedding: 7/9/2011
Jackie is such an amazing and talented photographer! Her work is truly a piece of art. All of our photos were absolutely beautiful. We still receive compliments on our photos when others see them. I refer others to Jackie Pinto Photography often because I feel everyone deserves to have beautiful photos that document such an important day of their lives. Thank you Jackie!
Wedding: 4/16/2010
Jackie is FANTASTIC!! Her photos speak for themselves (they are beautiful!) but with Jackie you also get a wonderful experience. I have worked with a few other photographers (as a bridesmaid, family weddings etc) and Jackie's personality and attitude set her apart from all the others. Jackie made sure that we had fun during our shoot and took charge without being pushy. She is also very enthusiastic and the enjoyment she takes in what she does is contagious :) She is so creative but also flexible. She had so many ideas, but also took a few of my ideas and ran with them, making them come to life and making them BETTER! She truly has an eye for what will make a beautiful picture. I will continue to use Jackie to capture all of my milestones in life :)
OMG you are gonna make me cry!!!!! TY SOOOOOOOO Much- I look forward to photographing your baby!
Wedding: 9/18/2010
Jackie is not only a wonderful photographer, but a wonderful woman. She is very easy to work and get along with. The day of your wedding is stressful enough, worrying about your photographer and the pictures they are taking shouldn't be. As I was getting ready, it was almost as if she wasn't there. Then on top of everything I was running late and was getting stressed and Jackie handled everything perfectly. She was relaxed and calm and really relieved my stress. She captured all the wonderful moments of my wedding and I am so very happy with the job she did. I had a hard time picking from her amazing work, so I had to choose it all! You will not be disappointed with Jackie. She is amazing!
WOW- thank you Tiffany!!!!!! I really really appreciate this!!!! Your wedding was breath taking, and I was honored to be the one to capture it!
Wedding: 9/10/2010
I was lucky to have Jackie Pinto Photography taking the photos at my wedding. Not only is Jackie kind and patient but she is amazing at capturing all the perfect moments. Anything she captures with her camera is absolutely breath taking. My biggest concern at my wedding was that I would not have good pictures to show my children one day, thanks to Jackie I have the most amazing pictures. I am glad that I had a photographer that faded into the background and produced great work and not one of the pushy photographers. I was also lucky enough to have her at my bridal shower. She took pictures of everything I had asked and things I didn't even know I wanted.I have already planned to use Jackie for all my other events in the future. I have found my photographer for life!
Thank you so much Sylvia! That is absolutely sweet- and I really appreciate you taking the time to write all those nice things! And yes you are right- I plan on being there at all your big life moments!

The Dallas Police Department uses Bell 206B3 helicopters similar to the one seen in this photo courtesy of Bell Helicopter.
The Dallas Police Department's helicopter patrol unit is celebrating its 40th anniversary and is featured by the Dallas Morning News.
As part of the celebration, a Dallas police helicopter was moved into the Frontiers of Flight Museum for public display.
The unit's four helicopters are primarily used to assist in vehicle and foot pursuits, unit pilot James Rucker tells POLICE Magazine. Beginning this week, the unit will begin joint training with the Dallas PD's SWAT unit for coordination on tactical missions.
The helicopter units participated in 38 vehicle pursuits and 274 arrests in 2006, according to an agency report on the unit.
In 2007, the department replaced most of its aging fleet with three new helicopters at a cost of about $5.3 million. The unit now has 14 pilots, two sergeants, a lieutenant and three mechanics. The work load is usually between 500 and 600 calls per month.
The unit deploys four Bell Helicopters, including two 206B3s, a 407 and an OH-58. The OH-58, built in 1972, was purchased from the military and formerly used as a U.S. Army Ranger helicopter.

I remember the first helicopter DPD had, a two seater. It was flown by one of my best friends Tommy Patton, you old timers will remember him as CT Patton, he was in a patrol car for many years first. His sons grew up to be police officers too, last I checked one was a detective in GP (allen) one in cedar hill last I knew.
Julie @ 10/10/2011 4:51 AM
My late husband worked with Tommy at DPD Helicopter Section. Do you know how I can reach Tommy? Thank you

All sounds and recorded video are obtained from different public places and comply with accordingly with California law.
The idea is of the show is to expose the unfaithful boyfriend, girlfriend, or spouse while at the same time attempting to shame them in front of their partners and a national viewing television audience. The show works because it has a familiar feel to it. A common situatiuon in society, this show exploits the drama surrounding couples being unfaithful to each other. Most of the characters featured seem to be of a lower social class, where it is more likely to find willing participants for this kind of reality program. The show is rated TV-14.
The Cheaters formula has been design for young adults venturing in new relationships and also captivates a large segment of the middle age adults audience. The show, makes no attempt to conceal or protect the identity of the cheating partners. It is interesting to note that the most attractive part of this show is the reveal and confrontation; carefully timed to coincide with an amorous encounter at a hotel or apartment. sometimes violent reactions and attacks can be seen in the show. Cheaters has managed to keep the violence to a minumum, obscene gestures and coarse language is alwayes bleeped or pixelated. The show sometimes can have a lot of editing, which is very noticiable. This show is broadcast in the late evening hours because of it's adult subject matter.

VS 2010 Beta 2 Code Analysis In-Depth First Look
Code Analysis is one of those great tools that people don't run nearly enough. I have screamed repeatedly, "Never do anything at run time you can do at compile time." The best time to catch the Design Guidelines, security, and performance violations is at build time. Code Analysis and its standalone twin, FxCop, have been around long enough that I shouldn't have to convince anyone that every single build, no matter who does it, must have Code Analysis running.
If you start using Code Analysis from day one, it's easy, but sadly, many teams have not. Recently, I wrote an article talking about how to introduce Code Analysis and FxCop on Visual Studio 2008 projects without getting overwhelmed. For Visual Studio 2010, Microsoft has added a great feature to Code Analysis called Rule Sets, where you can create subsets of the rules you're most interested in running. The estimable Habib Heydarian wrote an article that shows you everything you need to know about creating and manipulating rule set files.
With Beta 2, I was hoping Microsoft was going to fix a large bug pertaining to Code Analysis. The bad news is that it wasn't. No new projects created in Visual Studio 2010 have Code Analysis enabled by default. That's frustrating because Code Analysis uses a default Rule Set "Minimum Recommended Rules" whose rule set description says it all, "These rules focus on the most critical problems in your code, including potential security holes, application crashes, and other important logic and design errors." Yes, I will be logging this as a bug because positive nudges like this are an extremely cheap and easy way to avoid bugs.
With Visual Studio Beta 2 being essentially feature complete, I was very curious to see the new rules that Microsoft has added to Code Analysis. Here's the list I compiled by comparing Code Analysis from Visual Studio 2008 to that in Visual Studio 2010. Note that some of these links to the rule documentation go to pages that do not yet exist on the MSDN web site as of this writing. I pulled the help URLs for the rules out of the assembly resources so they will eventually be valid.
Microsoft Design
Microsoft Globalization
Microsoft Naming
Microsoft Reliability
Microsoft Security
- CA2100 – Review SQL queries for security vulnerabilities
- CA2130 – Security critical constants should be transparent
- CA2131 – Security critical types my not participate in type equivalence
- CA2132 – Default constructors must be at least as critical as base type default constructors
- CA2133 – Delegates must bind to methods with consistent transparency
- CA2134 – Methods must keep consistent transparency when overriding base methods
- CA2135 – Level 2 assemblies should not contain LinkDemands
- CA2136 – Security assemblies should not contain security critical code
- CA2137 – Transparent methods must contain only verifiable IL
- CA2138 – Transparent methods must not call methods with the SuppressUnmanagedCodeSecurity attribute
- CA2139 – Transparent methods may not use the HandleProcessCorruptingExceptions attribute
- CA2140 – Transparent code must not reference security critical items
- CA2141 – Transparent methods must not satisfy LinkDemands
- CA2142 – Transparent code should not be protected with LinkDemands
- CA2143 – Transparent methods should not use security demands
- CA2144 – Transparent code should not load assemblies from byte arrays
- CA2145 – Transparent methods should not be decorated with the SuppressUnmanagedCodeSecurity attribute
- CA2146 – Types must be at least as critical as their base types and interfaces
- CA2147 – Transparent code may not use security asserts
- CA2149 – Transparent methods must not call into native code
Microsoft Usage
- CA 2202 – Do not dispose object multiple times
- CA2215 – Dispose methods should call base class dispose
- CA2241 – Provide correct arguments to formatting methods
Interestingly, I noticed the following rules are no longer alive in Visual Studio 2010. May they rest in peace.
Microsoft Security
- CA2127 – Security transparent assemblies should not contain security critical code
- CA2128 – Security transparent code should not assert
- CA2129 – Security transparent code should not reference non-public security critical members
Probably the most interesting thing about Code Analysis in Visual Studio 2010 is that Microsoft has reintroduced the dataflow analysis. Back in the early versions of FxCop there was a dataflow analysis engine but it was scrapped and a new engine has taken its place.
Many of the new rules, such as CA 1062 – Validate arguments of public methods utilize the new engine. If you're super curious, you can use Reflector to poke around the dataflow rules by opening the DataFlowRules.DLL assembly in <Visual Studio Directory>\Team Tools\Static Analysis\FxCop\Rules. Without documentation and a simple example, it's hard to see how it all works. However, poking around through the dataflow engine supporting assemblies, you will come across PHX.DLL.
At one point Microsoft was working on a compiler framework called Phoenix, which was going to be used to build a pluggable compiler system. The idea was that if someone had an idea for an analysis or optimization tool they could plug into the compiler chain or rewrite the Intermediate Representation (IR) and add their additional analysis or optimizations. While there's a vibrant research community built around Phoenix, I don't know where it stands on the product side. However, as I poked around PHX.DLL, it wasn't too much of a stretch to see that I was looking at a version of the Phoenix code. Namespaces like Phx.Pdb, Phx.PE, and Phx.LoopOptimizer aren't the typical namespaces used in a SilverLight line of business application.
For more traditional rules, such as CA1714 – Flags enums should have plural names, they still use the Introspection engine first introduced in FxCop 1.30. That means if you've already written rules for FxCop they will port right over to Visual Studio 2010's Code Analysis without much trouble.
Code Analysis is one of those tools that just sits there quietly doing its job and if you run it on every compile, you never see just how valuable it really is. Catching errors as early as possible in the development cycle is what saves you the big time and money. Nothing annoys me more that when I hear someone say that they don't run Code Analysis because they don't have the time, or because Code Analysis is to slow, or any other of a million lame excuses. Oh, let me take that back. Actually, I when I hear people say any reason they don't run Code Analysis on every build, I rub my hands with delightful glee because I know that Wintellect will be getting a huge contract soon from them to debug or take over developing their application.
OK, let me get serious: Microsoft runs Code Analysis on everything and so should you. That's what great companies do and the Code Analysis in Visual Studio 2010 with its rule sets makes it even easier to do. You no longer have any excuses.

What's the state of play with static code analysis (?Prefast?) for native C++ code in VS2010?
jrobbins • October 28, 2009 8:39 PM
Hi Mike!
I'm pretty sure PreFast has been added to the x64 compiler. I haven't seen much written about it but know that lots of people are using and improving PreFast at Microsoft so it should be improved, but by how much, I'm not sure. I'm going to be porting a bunch of C++ code over to VS 2010 and will blog about the experience. I'll specifically look at PreFast for you.

Is it just me or treat warning as errors is not affecting the code analysis warnings on VS2010 beta 2? Is there something I can do about it?
Itzhak Kasovitch • December 16, 2009 1:11 PM
I have found out the in order to fail your build when some code analysis rule fails you should do the following:
1. Create and use a rule set in which all rule violations are treated as errors instead of warnings, or
2. Use the CodeAnalysisTreatWarningsAsErrors build property (see http://blogs.msdn.com/fxcop/archive/2007/08/08/_24002800_CodeAnalysisTreatWarningAsErrors_2900_-MSBuild-property.aspx for details).
Ricardo Lopez • March 1, 2010 7:28 PM
When using contract methods such as Assert((c),(lambda)) where c is a condition and lamda is a Func one still gets CA1062.
Is there a way to inform the code analysis engine that the Assert method has validated the argument?
An example may be helpful to clarify my question:
MethodA( String parameter)
Assert( (parameter != null), (() => new ArgumentNullExpetion("parameter")));
If (parameter.length == 0) // CA1062 applies here
jrobbins • March 10, 2010 11:46 PM
The assert goes away in a release build so CA1062 is properly reporting that you haven't checked the parameter property before accessing it's field.

We have been using code analysis in Visual Studio since VS 2005. When we upgraded to 2008, we noticed that our code had a lot of new code analysis complaints. Just this week, we upgraded to VS 2010 and are once again faced with a lot of new code analysis failures in our existing code that fully satisfied the 2008 code analysis rules. In one website alone, there were over 1500 new complaints.
Does Microsoft have an official recommendation on how to handle existing code? What's the community standard? Do most developers/companies spend the time to change the existing code to satisfy code analysis or do most just suppress them in order to grandfather them into the new rules.
Thanks for any advice you may have!

Matthew Lenning Gives Bon Appétit a New Look
By way of Crit, we learned that Bon Appétit magazine is in the middle of a big rebranding/redesign effort, to be launched in the January issue. Having remained the same for the last thirteen years, and likely as worried as all other magazines about capturing new readers and retaining the ones they've got, they're going to try a more modern look for the magazine. They're also giving their logo a new scrubbing over (because é accents can only stay fresh for so long). Here's a little:
Starting with the January issue, it will introduce a new logo featuring a lowercase font with a rotating color for the "o" and accent mark. "Think of it in fashion terms: We've simply changed and freshened our lipstick, or, perhaps, traded in our pair of sensible shoes for something a little more stylish," editor in chief Barbara Fairchild writes in the editor's letter.
The last time Bon Appétit changed its logo was 17 years ago. Now, with the help of design director Matthew Lenning, hired from GQ in the spring, it's pushing its "accessibility" and its "sophisticated but not intimidating" qualities. Bon Appétit's website will also be relaunched, though the timing is still being determined.

SITE: Neyland Stadium, Knoxville, Tenn.
DATE/TIME: Sept. 12, 1 p.m.
2008 RECORD: 5-7 (3-5 in the SEC)
LAST MEETING: UCLA beat Tennessee, 27-24, in overtime on Sept. 1, 2008 at the Rose Bowl.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Jonathan Crompton, QB; Dan Williams, DT; Rico McCoy, LB.
OUTLOOK: The once-proud Volunteers watched their offense stagnate over the past few years and Lane Kiffin, the former offensive coordinator at USC and Raiders' head coach was brought in to turn things around. One of the first things he unpacked was a pro-style offense he used while at USC. Quarterback Jonathan Crompton and several of his teammates are enjoying the new offensive scheme and look forward to watching the team's offensive numbers improve.
BEYOND THE HUDDLE: The Vols took the lead over UCLA with 1:54 remaining in the fourth quarter of last year's contest but the Bruins' offense, which slumbered through most of the first half, used part of its second-half rally to send the game into overtime. That's where they won, despite a 366-288 deficit in yards. Tennessee will undoubtedly be looking for payback.
WHAT'S BEING SAID: One of the most significant obstacles that the Kiffin-led Volunteers are going to have to overcome is the lack of a reliable offensive signal-caller to run the game and lead the offense down the field. B.J. Coleman looked like he was ready to take the QB position by force during spring practice…Kiffin made it clear that Coleman would not be the guy, and since then, Coleman has transferred.

Well, after all of these years of talk amongst our club members,and after lots of encouragement from various women, I am finally making it happen.
We are going to offer our first WOMENS ONLY Concealed Handgun Class.
I keep on hearing from lots of woman that they are not interested in attending a class with lots of men, but they would if it was just for woman so we are going to make that happen.
I am tailoring this class to specifically meet the needs of women.
I think that we will cut back the technical details of firearms that women don't really care about and instead spend more time with the actual function of the gun that they want to carry.
Also, I have enough instructors, that I intend to offer individualized instruction for each person...with NO time constraints...no pressure.
We'll probably spend more time on the LAW than we usually do and really hammer various scenarios that they could find themselves in.
So...for you woman shooters out there...
Can you tell me what you liked,disliked about your concealed class ?
How you would do it differently if you could do it over?
If this works out as well as I think it will, we intend to offer more classes in the future. I just posted it yesterday and I've already got over 50 interested woman, and I haven't even advertised yet...that was just word of mouth.
Any comments or advice will be appreciated. So lets hear it...I am all ears...

Major John Allard, PIO Office, 785-2415, 24-Hour Press Box: 799-2001, Ext. 1100
Homicide Investigation
Lexington County Sheriff's Department detectives are investigating the fatal shooting of a 43-year-old woman whose body was found at about 11:15 p.m. on Wednesday, April 10 on Lumberjack Drive near the intersection with Earline Drive in the West Columbia community.
Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts said detectives are pursuing leads concerning the identity of the person or persons who fatally shot the woman in her upper torso. The motive for the shooting and the circumstances of the shooting remain under investigation.
The Lexington County Coroner's Office ordered an autopsy to be performed on the body of the 43-year-old woman at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 11 in order to determine the cause and manner of the woman's death. While the woman has been positively identified using fingerprint records, the Coroner's Office will not release the woman's name until her relatives have been notified about her death. The woman's relatives have not yet been notified.
Two men who were working to repossess a motor vehicle in the area saw the woman lying severely injured on Lumberjack Drive and reported the incident to the Lexington County Communications Center, Metts said. Lexington County Emergency Medical Services personnel found that the woman was alive and transported the woman by ambulance to Lexington Medical Center, where the woman later was pronounced dead.
Metts asked anyone with information about the 43-year-old woman or the fatal shooting of the 43-year-old woman to call the Lexington County Sheriff's Department at (803) 785-8230 or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.

Calvin Rossi, 3, sure liked feeding apple slices to Ben, a potbellied pig under the care of Lakeshore PAWS and awaiting an adoptive family.
The Valparaiso boy said the pig was cute and he wanted to play with it.
His mom Amanda Rossi, who also attended a Lakeshore open house with Ben's two older brothers, liked Ben, too, and the rescue work done by the non-profit.
"My mom adopted from here just recently. She adopted a dog. We love animals, especially rescues, and the kids especially wanted to see Ben," Rossi said, adding her next move was going home and convincing her husband that the family should adopt the pig.
The family has a dog and two cats and a nice yard, so Ben would fit in.
"They're very smart and he's very cute, and it would just be a different experience," she said.
Animal lovers of all sorts came to check out the open house, held Feb. 22 in the space Lakeshore leases from Coco's Canine Cabana, 405 Elm St. In addition to Ben and an assortment of cats and dogs up for adoption by Lakeshore, the Porter County Animal Shelter had a couple of cats looking for homes as well.
Lakeshore has had tremendous growth since it started almost three years ago, said co-founder and executive director Jeanne Sommer.
"We're almost up to 900 animals adopted, plus the trap-neuter-release we do," she said, adding Lakeshore started leasing space at Coco's in September, which increased adoptions by 40 percent, because people had a physical building to go to. Between 15 and 25 animals are housed at Coco's; the rest are in foster homes.
This year, Lakeshore plans to hold two to three adoption events a month — some on-site, and some in the community — to find homes for animals and generate donations.
Lakeshore's initial goal was to find homes for 100 animals a year; this year's goal is 350 animals, Sommer said. The rescue organization gets its animals from shelters throughout the area — Ben is from the Humane Society in Gary's Miller neighborhood — as well as taking in those in emergency situations outside of the region.
"A lot of the public doesn't realize there are a lot of great, adoptable dogs at the shelters," she said, adding Lakeshore is a happy place "They're all going to go to a better place."

Self-folding robotic paper: useful or gimmick?
You and I may consider it cheating, but Harvard's Robert Wood and his team have slapped a bunch of tiny actuators onto pieces of origami paper and have taught it to bend itself into different shapes. What could that even be good for, though?
Self-folding robotic paper does just what it sounds like: the actuators along the surface of the page can work together pushing and pulling until you're left with an airplane, a crane, or what have you. Sounds perfect for clowns and magicians.
A paper published by the team (which, unfortunately, you need to be a member of this site if you want to read the whole thing) proposes that the technology could see more practical applications, such as resizing a cup depending on the amount of beverage it's going to hold. Your large coffee, for instance, could transform into a small when you go back for "just a little bit more."
Still, that sounds pretty useless — though maybe it'd cut down on waste in the cup industry. We imagine that if this tech ever does see the light of day in a big way, it's going to be used for more than just coffee cups.
Check out a few examples of the self-folding paper in action in the video below.

Willow is a sheen in a cool, pale green. It fades away within a couple of hours, even when I apply it wet. I've never had a problem with an eyeshadow completely disappearing like that. I won't be purchasing this shade again.

OAO Magnit (MGNT), Russia's second-largest supermarket chain, may sell shares on a local or international exchange to raise up to $1 billion for acquisitions.
The retailer will review proposals submitted by local chains, Oleg Goncharov, head of investor relations, said today by telephone from the southern city of Krasnodar, where the operator of discount food stores is based. He confirmed comments made yesterday by Chief Executive Officer Sergei Galitsky on a conference call with investors.
Local and international food retailers may spend as much as $4 billion this year to expand in Russia, where the food retail market is set to expand by 12 percent a year through 2010, UBS AG said in a Feb. 8 report. Magnit may raise capital spending to between $400 million and $500 million in 2007 from $301 million last year, according to Goncharov.
The grocer would consider both local and international markets for a share sale to fund possible acquisitions, Goncharov said. The company may decide on a share sale in London, he added.
An 18 percent stake in Magnit is publicly traded on the Micex Stock Exchange and the Russian Trading System in Moscow, the country's two largest equity markets.
Profit jumped 55 percent to $56.9 million last year on new stores and higher customer spending, Magnit said yesterday. Sales surged 59 percent to $2.51 billion as the company opened 393 outlets, bringing the total to 1,893 by the end of the year.
The retailer is also developing a superstore chain and has 14 hypermarkets under construction, as many as seven of which are scheduled to open this year, Goncharov said April 20.
The retailer's shares rose 6.50 rubles, or 0.5 percent, to 1,222.60 rubles on Micex today. They have surged 70 percent in the past 12 months, raising the company's market value to about 88 billion rubles ($3.4 billion).

Expected Results:
The project has already achieved, through engaged conversations, enhancement opportunities within the system as well as a future focus of improvement opportunities and functionality to assist in multiple efficiency gains related to the gathering of faculty data critical to various institutional processes. The measures of performance will be enhancements and modifications to various protocols and processes involving Activity Insights in order to avoid contradictions or duplicative efforts. Our progress will be measured by enhancements, feedback tools (one of which has already been developed), a centralized platform of information for those using the tool and those exploring its usage. Our progress is currently measured by units adopting and engaging in the tool's usage for their own functionality and reporting needs; and will continue to be measured by successes of those currently using the system and those integrating their unit into the system.

Reports show benefits, problems with public option
A leading proponent of creating a public insurance option recently released a 27-page report that serves as a blueprint for how the public plan could compete on a level playing field with private insurers. But another recent study suggested a public option could have a disastrous effect on private health insurers and cause physician payments to plummet.
Backed by President Obama, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius, and Senate Finance Committee chair Max Baucus, the public insurance option would create a competing public plan that would allow Americans to choose between public and private insurance plans.
Supporters of the public option, such as Jacob Hacker, PhD, a UC Berkeley professor, who recently published a policy brief that highlighted how a public plan would work, says that creating a public insurance option would expand coverage, lower healthcare costs, and serve as a check for private insurers.
Hacker says a public option would cut costs by providing direct competition with insurers. Public insurance is better at containing costs because of lower administrative expenses and greater bargaining power than private plans, he says.
"What I'm arguing for is a system in which public and private plans, with their strengths and weaknesses, could coexist side by side so that all Americans, not just the elderly or the poor, have access to the distinctive strengths of a public health insurance plan as well as the strengths of private plans," he says.
Although Hacker speaks positively about a public option, The Lewin Group presented a much more negative picture in its paper The Cost and Coverage Impacts of a Public Plan: Alternative Design Options.
John Sheils, senior vice president at The Lewin Group, a healthcare policy research and management consulting firm owned by Ingenix, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group, says one public insurance scenario could push 70% of private insurance members into public plans.
Because proponents have not created a definitive public insurance plan, The Lewin Group looked at different public options, including one that would allow all private insurance members to switch to a public plan as well as an option that would allow only small employers, individuals, and the self-employed access to a public plan.
Private insurers could lose 70% of their business if the former option is implemented, which could force private insurers to cut a similar percentage of their work force, Sheils says.
Under that option, "private insurance would have trouble surviving," he says. "Maybe there would be some consolidations, but I'm not sure if private health insurance plans would be the most valuable investment in the world at that point."
If the public plan was available to all employees and the government paid at Medicare levels, The Lewin Group estimated that 131 million Americans would enroll in the public plan, with 119 million coming from private health plans. This would mean an exodus of two-thirds of currently enrolled private plan members. (See Figures 13–18 on pp. 20–22.)
If the public option was limited to small employers, individuals, and the self-employed, The Lewin Group estimated that the public plan would include nearly 43 million Americans, with 32 million coming from private insurance.
Because the feds have also not offered a payment structure for the public insurance plan, The Lewin Group evaluated the effect of two possible payment routes: the same payment level as Medicare and paying the same amount as private insurers.
Sheils says that if the federal government decides to use Medicare payment levels, public option premiums would be 30% less than comparable private coverage. This would mean a savings of about $200 per family per month on average.
Those lower premiums would woo many people with employer-based coverage to the public plan. However, if the public option paid at private insurance levels, which would lead to higher premiums, fewer insured Americans would be tempted to enroll in a private plan, according to The Lewin Group.
The Lewin Group also found that hospitals and physicians would see less money if a public option is open to all employer-based members. Hospitals would actually benefit financially if the public option is limited to small employers, self-insured, and individual plan members because uncompensated care cost savings would more than offset lower payments.
Physicians, on the other hand, would have more patients and get paid less under Medicare-level funding. Despite potentially lower payments in a public plan, many doctors support the option because it would cut down on administrative costs. Their offices would not have to perform as much utilization management or review, says Sheils. "That's a very expensive thing for physicians to comply with. It takes up physician time," he says. "They usually employ a nurse to handle a lot of that. It's an expense and a headache that a lot of them feel they could do without and would be willing to live with the lower payment levels."
Although The Lewin Group painted a potentially negative picture, Hacker's proposal, which was published by the Berkeley Center on Health, Economic & Family Security and the Institute for America's Future, suggested a public plan would cut healthcare costs and guarantee a quality and affordable system.
Hacker's proposal would build on Medicare's administrative infrastructure and basic coverage framework. One difference is that the government would make a self-sustaining public insurance option that would be separate from Medicare, says Hacker, who has written extensively about the public insurance option and the failures of other reform plans. Other healthcare reform proposals might expand coverage, such as individual and employer mandates, but they do not contain costs, he says.
Hacker says a public option is needed because the current healthcare system does not provide "healthy competition." Having a public insurance option competing side-by-side with private insurers would allow individuals to choose between the plans based on their strengths and provide a safety net so Americans can stay insured.
A private insurer's strengths include integrated systems and care management programs, Hacker says, whereas a public option's strengths would be in the areas of stability, transparency, affordable premiums, and provider access. "These are hallmarks of public plans that private plans have inherent difficulties providing," he says.
To establish a workable public/private competition, Hacker says a healthcare system needs three Rs:
- Risk adjustment that protects plans from being at a disadvantage because they enroll people who are not as healthy as their competition
- Regional pricing that allows plans to compete on a level playing field within regions
- Rules that would make both types of plans work on a level playing field, such as offering subsidies for both plans to care for low-income and middle-class Americans
Hacker says a public option would be built on Medicare's foundation, but suggests that the nation needs to broaden the benefit package, focus on value and efficiency, increase payments to primary care physicians, and move to a bundled payment model.
Another supporter of the public insurance option, Institute for America's Future codirector Roger Hickey, says other attempts at major healthcare reform, most notably in Massachusetts, simply "subsidize people to buy private insurance" and don't tackle spiraling healthcare costs.
"[The Massachusetts model] simply expands the number of people who are able to buy private insurance," says Hickey. "Some people are under the impression by simply mandating individuals that buying insurance means comprehensive coverage.
"What it's more likely to mean is either really lousy healthcare plans or a very unaffordable healthcare plan for many people and a lot of resentment if you don't have the structures in place to ensure good health insurance at decent prices," he says.

Ex-comptroller pleads guilty in $53 million scamBy JASON KEYSER
The Associated Press | November 15,2012AP Photo
Rita Crundwell walks past the media outside the federal courthouse in Rockford, Ill. on Wednesday. Crundwell, the former comptroller of Dixon, Ill., pleaded guilty to allegations she embezzled $53 million from the small city to fund a lavish lifestyle.ROCKFORD, Ill. A longtime bookkeeper pleaded guilty Wednesday to allegations she embezzled more than $50 million from a small city in Illinois to fund a lavish lifestyle that included a nationally known horse-breeding operation.
Rita Crundwell, the former comptroller of Dixon, pleaded guilty to a charge of wire fraud in federal court in Rockford. She was allowed to remain free until her Feb. 14 sentencing hearing. Prosecutors say she siphoned money into a secret bank account while overseeing the citys finances.
Crundwell did not make a statement during the hearing and answered the judges questions with yes and no. She left the courthouse without speaking to reporters, but her lawyer gave a brief statement that emphasized her cooperation with prosecutors.
Rita Crundwell today admitted her guilt, saving the government the burden and expense of a lengthy trial, attorney Paul Gazianno said. Rita, since the day of her arrest, has worked with the government to accomplish the sale of her assets, including her beloved horses, all with the goal of hoping to recoup the losses for the city of Dixon.
I think the people of the city of Dixon ought to know that.
Crundwells guilty plea in the federal case enables the U.S. Marshals Service to start selling off millions of dollars of assets still in her name, including about $450,000 worth of diamonds and other jewels, ranch land and a house in Florida.
The marshals already auctioned dozens of Crundwells horses and other property, raising $7.4 million, but they say they doubt theyll recover the full amount Crundwell stole.
Gary Shapiro, acting U.S. Attorney for northern Illinois, said Crundwells case is one of the most significant abuses of public trust ever seen in Illinois.
Shapiro said he hoped it would serve as a warning for other public officials.
If nothing else, what we have in this case is an object lesson in how not to manage public funds, Shapiro said. This is a crime that should never have been allowed to occur.
Residents in Dixon, the boyhood home of the late President Ronald Reagan, welcomed Crundwells plea. Its 16,000 residents are largely lower-middle class, working at factories and grain farms, and they had come to trust Crundwell to manage the towns finances with little oversight.
Were very happy that she pleaded guilty, Mayor James Burke said. Theres no feeling sorry for her at all.
Burke said Crundwell deserves a long prison sentence and he hopes her plea will help the town recoup more of its $53 million in losses. He said he would convene a public meeting to discuss how recovered money will be spent.
The wire fraud count carries a maximum sentence of up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. Crundwells plea agreement also requires her to pay full restitution.
Crundwell, 58, had worked for the city about 100 miles west of Chicago since she was 17 and started to oversee public finances in the 1980s. Prosecutors say she began stealing money in 1990 to support an extravagant way of life.
Authorities say Crundwell bought luxury homes and vehicles and spent millions on her horse-breeding operation, RC Quarter Horses LLC, which produced 52 world champions in exhibitions run by the American Quarter Horse Association.
Her scheme unraveled when a co-worker filling in during Crundwells vacation stumbled upon her secret bank account, prosecutors said.

10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

This sweater is a perfect 4 season sweater. I have it in two colors and will more than likely buy more. It runs true to size and is flattering on all shapes and sizes. You can also dress it up or down easily. Buy it!
