Off Highway vehicle access advocates grill Forest Service on OHV plan
The Plumas National Forest addressed questions from the Sierra Access Coalition about its travel management plan at a recent open house.
It would be an understatement to say the majority of people attending the meeting, most of whom appeared to be SAC members or sympathizers, were not pleased with the Forest Service's final draft of the PNF travel management plan.
The meeting was filled with angry comments that were either dismissive of the Forest Service's explanations or expressed conspiracy theories about the government agency and its motives.
In the big picture, PNF interdisciplinary team leader Pete Hochrein said there were 4,200 miles in the forest's road system that weren't part of this plan.
"We're not a recreation forest; we're a timber forest."
Lee Anne Schramel
Public Information Officer
Plumas National Forest
The main thrust of this effort was to address the large number of user-created trails on the forest and decide which of them would be entered into the authorized system.
Hochrein indicated users and the Forest Service submitted 1,100 miles for consideration; 410 of them were selected to be surveyed for various environmental and safety factors.
Hochrein reported 234 miles were selected for inclusion in the system.
He said the decision consisted of balancing the wishes of people who want unlimited access to the forest with those who want the most stringent environmental protections possible.
"We're feeling very comfortable that our document will support scrutiny by groups that feel they don't want any trails on our forest.
"The ones that are in this decision are good trails that are sustainable, that will be on our system for many years to come.
"So we feel very strongly that we're gonna hold up in court when we get sued and we know that's coming."
He suggested the Tahoe and Eldorado forests had more restrictive seasonal rules on when roads could be used.
PNF Public Affairs Officer Lee Anne Schramel told the audience, "We have enough roads and trails on this one forest to drive to the East Coast.
"Is it going to take you every place you want to go? It's probably not, and we've heard from around the room it's not going to.
"If you want a specialized experience, you want a small trail or an exciting single-track motorcycle use, we're the first ones to tell you we don't have enough of that on this forest.
"We're not a recreation forest; we're a timber forest," the public affairs officer said before quickly adding, "I know you'll say we're not doing timber either; I know it's coming.
"And I'm not going to disagree with you there," she conceded as laughter spread throughout the room.
Single track
One of the hot topics was the small amount of single-track motorcycle routes authorized in the travel management plan, 53 miles total.
"We are deficit in that area," Schramel admitted, adding the forest was looking at possibly adding 12.5 miles of single-track trail in French Creek and Granite Basin.
Hochrein said the Forest Service was doing an aquatic survey in that area to see what would be allowed.
He explained there were a lot of wildlife species that restricted use in that area and trails that dead end on private property.
Forest Service representatives labeled that area as a low to moderate candidate for red-legged frog habitat, but the Fish and Wildlife Service didn't agree and ordered the PNF to do a survey of the area.
Money wasn't available at the time, but grant funds were recently obtained to do the work.
Someone in the crowd asked why other forests didn't have to do those surveys. Hochrein responded that other forests stopped trying to get trails in an area once it got to that point.
At that point several crowd members suggested someone should kill the frogs.
"Part of the problem is the way these trails are located," Hochrein responded.
"Someone would go out and flag a trail line and they would start riding it and they didn't ever do any trail construction and they didn't have necessarily any experience on where to put the trail and they didn't know what to avoid so these trails just were user-created trails."
Hochrein said the future would hopefully involve more single-track opportunities, as the forest became more known for that use.
"I've been told by many, many single-track riders they don't want to have people come and mess up their trails.
"If we have people coming to ride these trails there'll be more reason to expand them and improve them and make them better, so there's a Catch-22 there."
"I think there's an opportunity for Plumas County to have some trails that will attract some outside visitors."
Another big topic was the access advocates' complaint about the drop in trails affecting woodcutting.
The Plumas National Forest dictates woodcutting must be done within 100 feet of a road, meaning in effect there are now fewer places people can woodcut without a special permit giving an exemption to that rule.
The Lassen National Forest allows cross-country travel and has the opposite rule: the only place you can't cut is within 100 feet of a road.
One member of the public asked if those rules could be changed so that they matched.
Hochrein said that was technically possible but "I would bet they probably won't be."
He added rules would probably be flexible from one ranger district to another within the PNF.
"We're recommending that rangers find areas where we could have some free use areas or special use areas where you could do some cross-country travel for firewood access."
He said there would also be permits available for people who needed to travel cross-country to get to their grazing area, logging site or mining operation.
Forest Service representatives told the crowd the trails on the Plumas that connected with those on the Tahoe or Lassen forests matched up, meaning you could ride the same types of vehicles as you passed from one forest to the next.
They also would look into creating more loops and opening more trails in the long term to react to Plumas and Lassen county governments' choices to make more of their roads available for off-highway vehicles.
Taylor also acknowledged that some all-terrain vehicle trails were disjointed. In general people would have to drive further with their cars and trailers before getting on their ATVs.
In a closing comment Hochrein said, "It may seem like this is the end for a lot of you, but for the Forest Service this is just the beginning and we're hoping that you continue to play with us and work with us, that we will add additional trails in the right locations with time."
"Mind you we didn't dream this process up. I mean this came to us from Congress decades ago. We're just the last one's getting around to implementing it," Taylor added.
She said routes wouldn't be decommissioned just because they didn't make the cut. The PNF will go through a process of marking trails months before proposals to destroy them so the public can give input.
Hochrein explained Colorado and Idaho went through this painful process 20 years ago and now they have good trail systems with a lot of access.
OHV user response
After the meeting, Sierra Access Coalition Executive Director Corky Lazzarino said she had many issues with the Forest Service's conclusions.
She began by saying the forest didn't pay enough attention to preserving open areas used by children to learn to ride.
She agreed that many other forests probably lost more access than the Plumas did in this process, but said that wasn't any real consolation.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't pertain to us, that's why we live here," single-track rider Mark Tande added.
He said the Forest Service could tell people this wasn't a recreation forest all it wanted, but many people like him lived here specifically for that reason.
Both advocates felt the PNF threw out too many short "spur roads" arbitrarily or designated connected roads as spurs too loosely.
"So other forests might have been better, but that isn't the point. It could have been worse. We don't care, we care about the Plumas, that's our home," Lazzarino concluded.

I'm a big fan of tungsten since I am hard on rings - scratch/gouge/bend all the other metals. Not so with tungsten. The wood inlay in this ring appears to be under an acrylic and is very well protected. The wood is beautiful and the ring looks better than the picture. I have gotten many compliments on the ring, and everyone loves it, including me! It is such a contrast - the warmth of the wood with the coolness of the brightly polished tungsten.
Love this ring. Very affordable for a working man and it looks nice.
I picked out this ring for my husband's wedding band, and he absolutely loves it. He says it's the most comfortable ring he's ever worn, and he loves the look of the stainless steel and the stained wood inlay.
This ring is really nice. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because in the image the sides of the ring look like they are beveled, but they are not. The sides are just straight. My fiance loved this ring and was super excited about it. I bought a half size smaller because some reviews for comfort fit rings say they run big, but when we got it, the ring was way too small so I'd say the ring fits true to size. I am in the process of returning it for his actual size now. Over all I am very satisfied with the product and with overstock's service. Very fast shipping and easy returns.
We bought this for our son. He wanted a ring with the wood inlay, but others we found were several hundred dollars. We found this one on your web site and wandered if it would be 'cheap'. We took a chance without actually seeing it in person and are extremely happy. We feel this ring is nicer looking than the one we were looking at in a local shop that was 600 dollars. Awesome deal.
My boyfriend really loved this ring and look at the ring sizing because it runs 1/2 a ring size bigger.
Years later, still holding up well after being worn every day. Very comfortable and looks really good.
Couldn't get any better, get lots of compliments. Everybody loves this ring, my husband is constantly being asked where he got it and what type is the ring made of. It is a fantastic piece of jewelry.
Started turning a dingy grey after a few months, didn't clean off. Not sure if it's real tungsten. Just broke it swatting a fly on a table after about 2 years owning it. Nice ring when I got it...just didn't hold up.
I saw many rings like this on Pinterest and so I thought I would look on Overstock. And to my surprise this ring was on here and so I got it for my husband. He LOVES it and wears it with his watch (which I also got on Overstock). He still claims it looks better than anything on Pinterest!

SMALL BUSINESS BLOG -- SCOTT SUTTELL Four Northeast Ohio tech firms make Deloitte's Fast 500By SCOTT SUTTELL 10:00 am, November 15, 2012
Northeast Ohio is well represented in the 2012 Deloitte Technology Fast 500, an annual ranking of the fastest-growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North America.
A Hagerstown, Md., company called Duvinage, which makes circular and spiral staircases, has bought an Akron-based stair manufacturer and is shifting the production work to Maryland.
This should not come as a surprise: Businessweek.com says that a new report commissioned by the Small Business Administration finds that "government bailouts for banks did little to relieve the credit crunch for Main Street companies."
It's a big day for Paladar Latin Kitchen & Rum Bar of Woodmere, which is opening a restaurant in Hallandale, Fla., its third location. You also can follow me on Twitter for more news about business and Northeast Ohio. PRINTED FROM: http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20121115/BLOGS03/121119897/0/newsletter02&template=printart |

[show]Episode Plot
Team Rocket has engine trouble. As Team Rocket tries to repair their sub, they ask Meowth to use Pay Day but Meowth said it can't learn that move. They then notice Ash and co along the beach and decided to attack them (and fail). Meowth landed on Golden Island where the natives worshiped the Great Meowth of Bounty. Meowth was living the good life until the natives wanted Meowth to use Pay Day. They had Meowth battle a Nidoking and Onix but Jessie and James bailed him out with gold coins and a few of James' Bottlecaps. In the end Meowth decided to travel with Jessie and James rather than rule Golden Island.
- This is probably the first episode where we learn of James' Bottlecap collecting hobby.
- This is the second episode where Meowth battled an Onix. The first was IL050: Who Gets to Keep Togepi.
- This is the second episode that focused on Meowth. The first was IL070: Go West Young Meowth.
- The "Who's that Pokémon?" in this episode is Magnemite.
- "I'd love to cough up some cash Jimmy, but since I spent so much energy learning how to talk I simply can't learn Pay Day."

(part 1) Common - any card which is not short-printed, an insert, a bonus card, or has an insertion ratio. In short, the cards that comprise the manufacturer's basic set. Condition - the physical appearance of a card/collectible. Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges, the presence of foreign material, signs of misuse are the critical components. Along with rarity/scarcity, it is a major factor in determining the value of a card or collectible. Crease - an obvious paper wrinkle defect usually caused by bending the card [i.e.- the result of being tortured on a rear-wheel bicycle spoke during the early '50s and '60s]. Die-Cut - an insert/parallel card that differs from the basic card by a process of the manufacturer "cutting" portions of the card revealing a special design.

1974 Topps DECKLE EDGEThis 72-card test issue set was released with a very limited distribution on only the East Coast around Massachusetts making them quite scarce. They were Officially simply called "Topps Baseball Photos" but their serrated or "DECKLED" edge gave them the name they go by today. The 2 7/8" x 5" inch cards were sold in either a 2 card pack with gum or a 3 card pack with no gum for 5 cents.The cards were meant to have the look of the black and white movie star photos from the 1950's and feature a black & white photo with a blue facsimilie autograph on the front. The backs make this very scarce test issue even more interesting ! They feature handwritten script of the player's name, team, position & date and location of the photograph as well as a mock newspaper article on the player's career. This was Topps 2nd "Deckle Edge" issue, their first being their smaller and much more common 1969 Topps Deckle Edge which were inserts in certain series of packs of 1969 Topps cards. Variations of 1974 Topps Deckle Edge do exist, making this issue even more fun and challenging to collect. The backs can be found in either gray or a much scarcer white version. Also, a more limited proof version with non-scalloped edges exists and occasionally can be found.

The most obvious and useful was a complete redesign of the card backs and the addition of another player photo ! Additionly, over 20 cards were changed including the inclusion of what could be considered the first "Traded" cards. Another difference: Topps cards #202 and #289 were changed to allow the addition of 2 more Expos to the set.

Twitter Advertisers Say Service Needs More Users
Buyers Say Service Should Be More Mainstream Before It Gets More From Mass-Market Clients
SAN FRANCISCO—For some advertisers, 218 million people isn't a big enough audience. That's their message to Twitter Inc., which Thursday detailed plans for an initial public offering.
Ad buyers say that the short-message service will need significantly more users, and a bigger sales force, to win more spending from their mass-market clients.
"Scale still matters," says Adam Shlachter, senior vice president of media at DigitasLBi, a digital-ad firm owned by Publicis Groupe SA. "How consumers embrace [Twitter] and tap into it or tune in or out is going to be critical."
Since the first 140-character message was dispatched in March 2006, Twitter has exploded into a game-changing communication tool where news is made and broken by public figures and ordinary citizens.
Here's the problem: It seems there are more people talking about Twitter than using it.
Twitter boasts 218 million monthly active users, according to its Thursday filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. That's less than one-fifth as many as rival Facebook Inc.'s 1.15 billion.
Some 22% of U.S. Internet users are on Twitter, according to Forrester Research Inc. By comparison, 72% check Facebook at least once a month.
It is a troublesome issue for Twitter, which relies heavily on advertisers to make money, as it looks to raise $1 billion in a public offering. Advertising accounted for about 85% of Twitter's $317 million in revenue in 2012, according to the filing. Facebook reported $4.3 billion in advertising revenue last year.
What is more, the rate of user growth is slowing. In the second quarter, Twitter's growth in monthly active users slowed to 7% from three months earlier, compared with 10% to 11% growth in the prior three quarters.
Progressive Corp. buys ads featuring tweets from "Flo," the zany always-cheerful star of its television ads, who has more than 20,000 Twitter followers. But the Mayfield Heights, Ohio, insurer favors Facebook for social-media advertising.
"The 200 million-plus Twitter nation is a powerful and influential force that you have to pay attention to," says Jeff Charney, Progressive's chief marketing officer. He says the insurer will consider spending more as Twitter grows. But Facebook has "more heft," he says. "You just can't ignore Facebook."
Twitter itself recognized the risk if it fails to increase its user base and engagement level in its Thursday filing, saying it "could result in the loss of advertisers and revenue." A Twitter spokesman declined to comment.
Brian Wieser, an analyst at the Pivotal Research Group, says advertisers today are spending far more on Facebook than Twitter. But he is optimistic about Twitter's future, because he thinks the company is "clued in" to advertisers' concerns.
Some advertisers say Twitter makes up in quality what it lacks in quantity. The many celebrities and media pundits who use the service can be very influential, they say.
"It is an important audience and I want our brand to be part of the conversation that is happening there," says Lisa Cochrane, senior vice president of marketing at Allstate Corp.
Ms. Cochrane says she isn't worried about Twitter's slowing user growth. "People are learning how to use it and it will find its place," she says.
Part of Twitter's problem, analysts say, is that the service is hard to use. It can be difficult to identify relevant information amid the torrent of tweets. New users must devote time and energy to acquire "followers" and curate a list of accounts they want to "follow."
The "focus needs to be on making the service useful and relevant to the masses," said Vik Kathuria, managing partner at MediaCom, a media-buying firm owned by WPP PLC. "They need to find ways to connect with the masses to increase engagement so it's not a small minority who remain the power users," he added.
Another weakness, advertisers say, is that Twitter has yet to become a daily habit for many people. Usage tends to spike during big events, such as the Super Bowl, or natural disasters.
Advertisers want to know it has a "consistent audience to tap into and it's not an audience that is just churning in and out," says Mr. Shlachter of DigitasLBi.

Photo Gallery: Courthouse construction
SAN BERNARDINO - Despite major state cuts to court funds, construction of the new downtown court building is moving along smoothly and is on target for completion in spring 2014, a state official said.
The estimated $339 million project, an 11-story building with more than 30 courtrooms, broke ground in late 2011 - just before massive state budget cuts that laid off employees and closed two San Bernardino County courthouses.
The new courthouse is being built on donated city land. Officials were able to begin construction after the state Treasurer's Office sold a lease-revenue bond, which generated $304.7million for the project.
The county also contributed to costs for the project.
"Most of the funding came from state court construction funds," which were before the state cuts, said Teresa Ruano, spokeswoman for the state Administrative Office of the Courts. "Once a project has been bond funded, the project can proceed. State cuts would not have affected it."
The project, which has been in development since 2007, was initially pushed back for a time period due to budget issues.
"It was originally slated for a spring bond sale, but it had to be pushed back to the fall (fiscal year 2011-12) because the budget had not been resolved that year," Ruano said.
But workers are still planning for the building to be completed in the spring of 2014.
State and local officials said the courthouse project was billed as a job generator - the construction work force was expected to swell to about 160 daily workers during certain phases.
The new building is going up across the street from the historic Central Courthouse at Third Street and Arrowhead Avenue. And according to funding numbers, it was approved just in the nick of time.
By fiscal year 2013-2014, nearly $1.5 billion originally designated by the Legislature for court construction will have been borrowed, transferred to the state General Fund, or redirected to court operations, Ruano said.
And this year, the Legislature directed that $50 million per year be permanently diverted from court construction to trial court operations.

FDA approves robots for hospitalsNew York Times Photo
Colin Angle, chief executive of iRobot Corporation, stands with a mobile robot with an LCD screen for a face. It can interact remotely with an operator. iRobot is developing a version that can navigate a hospital and work remotely with doctors.iRobot Corp., best known for its Roomba vacuum cleaners, has won Food and Drug Administration clearance for a new line of robots designed to let doctors interact with hospital patients remotely.
The sleek, upright robot called the RP-VITA is designed to navigate around hospitals on its own and has a 15-inch LCD screen as a face.
It represents the early stages of a big push by iRobot into the health care market as the defense side of its business continues to contract.
The first RP-VITA robots, which would cost hospitals between $4,000 and $6,000 a month to operate, could begin appearing in medical centers throughout the country in the next few months.
We think its the beginning of an amazing new phase for the use of robots in telemedicine, said Colin Angle, chief executive officer of iRobot, which developed the robots in partnership with InTouch Health Inc., a Santa Barbara, Calif., company that is one of the pioneers in telemedicine systems.
Hospitals often use telemedicine to allow specialists to diagnose patients from long distances.
iRobot began a partnership with InTouch Health about a year ago when it invested $6 million to buy a minority stake in the company.
Today, the market is just getting started, said Philip Solis, an analyst with ABI Research in New York. Telepresence robots are seeing some use, but its still on a limited basis.
iRobots RP-VITA, which is the first FDA-cleared telemedicine robot that uses autonomous movement technology, will have to compete with a growing number of robots entering the health care market, said Solis.
You could envision a lot of different robots that can do many different things, but can the hospital afford it? Thats going to be the issue, he said.
The RP-VITA is outfitted with advanced cameras, touchscreen displays, speakers, and sensors. Doctors operate the robot with an iPad tablet, and the doctors face will appear on the LCD screen atop the robot.
InTouch Health chief executive Yulun Wang acknowledged that the steep price for RP-VITA will be an issue for hospitals, many of which are operating under increasing pressures to reduce health care costs.
But he said the technology that goes into the RP-VITA is expensive and some of the most advanced on the market. Theres just a lot more than dropping a robot off at the back dock, he said.
iRobot has reduced its workforce over the past year or so in anticipation of additional cuts in military spending, which would mean fewer sales of products such as robots designed for bomb removal.MORE IN World/National BusinessWhen stepping onto the grounds of the Summit Lodge and Resort in Killington, guests are greeted...

As today's Woot writeup and every single news outlet on the continent has indicated, there's something flying-fishy about that whole balloon boy panic from last week. While we've asked the hard questions, answers aren't really our department. That's where we're hoping you guys come in. And we're also hoping that Woot has something to do with the hoax/swindle/whatever, because we could use the publicity.
Show us the role that a Woot product, past or present, played in the Great Colorado Weather-Balloon Scare of Aught-Nine.
Post your entry here by 11:59 AM (central) on Monday, October 26, 2009. Prizes are $20/$50/$100 for 3rd/2nd/1st. The rules and criteria for winning: our panel of volunteer judges can and will make stuff up as it goes along. Use Photoshop, linoleum blocks, pastels, MSPaint, cave painting, tattoos, tribal scarification, whatever, but it'll only be judged if it's visible in our forums as a jpg, gif, or png. As we are fond of saying, try to keep your maximum width to 550px. If you need a place to host your pictures, try www.imageshack.ws or www.photobucket.com. We have no connection to either, but they seem free and easy to use. And if you want us to be sure your entry was indeed your work, post links to your source images. The more sure we are that you did your own work, the more likely we are to consider it for a prize.
It's been 10 (ten) weeks since Contest 231 closed, and still no results. You maybe ought to check with your staff's legal team. I think some states may require, by law, that promotional contest results be made available within a certain time period of the close of the contest. Some may be as short as six (6) weeks.
The Balloon-Boy one sounds hilarious. I think I'll give that one a shot.

He is charged with conspiracy in the balloon hoax for supplying past and present Woot products used in perpetrating the hoax. When questioned about his participation, Toon was quoted as saying, 'I cannot comment on this case, but I will say that this media frenzy is giving everyone involved exactly what they wanted.' Woot's Chief Executive Officer Matt Rutledge could not be reached for comment and, although he is under investigation, is not currently considered a suspect in the hoax. Toon could receive up to six years in prison for his participation in the balloon hoax.

ALL of us are disappointed and some of us are angry that Woot feels it's loyal visitors are not worth an hour a day of results posting. There are some of us that just chop for fun though. My complaint is that the last few contest ideas have been kinda 'dumb'... with not too many ways to be creative. Like this one for instance. How many ways can you chop a picture of a balloon and some people that no one really cares about. Obviously not too many as there are less than 20 entries and they are already repeating. I put a Roomba on the balloon and a few pix later someone did exactly the same thing in the same place. See what I mean? No place for creativity. FYI - For paying customers, Woot's customer service is excellent in my experience.

Capturing the Seasons in Oils -- DVDby North Light
Knowing how or even where to begin a painting can be confusing, especially for beginning artists and particularly when you're faced with the abundance of nature's seasonal glory. In this DVD workshop, Tim Deibler demonstrates four different methods of starting a painting that will lead you towards a finished piece in just two joyful sessions.
Follow along as Tim creates a series of evocative landscapes. A cool winter scene of Colorado mountains starts with a warm underpainting. A sparkling river scene begins as a red underpainting, which works to offset the wealth of greens in the final piece. A monochromatic underpainting establishes the basic bones of a Grand Canyon scene, while a brilliant autumn foliage scene begins as a humble series of transparent yellow washes.
After the paintings sit overnight, watch as Tim goes back in to rework, reshape, and make final subtle changes to build drama and atmosphere. Along the way you'll see palette-action as Tim works is mixes.
Get expert advice on everything from painting reflections, shadows and sunlit foliage to achieving a sense of distance and establishing a focal point ... it's all here. Just pop in and hit PLAY. Getting started has never been easier!
DVD is 83 minutes long.

We're just heading into the time of year when there are cookies and other sweet treats everywhere you look. I doubt many people are religiously dieting during December, but even for those of us who are just trying to limit our consumption of holiday sweets, it can be a challenge. For a few years now I've been experimenting with recipes for low-sugar cookies for the holidays, and this recipe for Ranger Cookies, which comes from The South Beach Diet Parties and Holidays Cookbook, is one of the most satisfying low sugar cookies I've tried. It's full of flavor from pecans, oatmeal, unsweetened coconut, chocolate chips, and whole wheat pastry flour, and even if you skipped the Splenda or Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated Sweetener and used regular sugar, this would still be a pretty healthful and low-sugar cookie.
The book claims the cookies are named for forest rangers who like these cookies for their energy-boosting ingredients, and if you're looking for a barely sweet cookie to get you through December, this might be just the one.
Toasting the pecans on a small cookie sheet placed in the oven really brings out their flavor in these cookies.
In a small bowl, mix together the whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, and salt.
Use a small hand beater to cream together the margarine (or butter), Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated Sweetener or Splenda (or sugar), egg, and vanilla.
Then add the flour mixture and beat on low until it's all combined.
Stir in the oatmeal-pecan mixture and mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Low-Sugar and Whole Wheat Ranger Cookies with Pecans, Coconut, and Chocolate
(Makes 12 cookies but recipe could easily be doubled because these cookies freeze well; recipe adapted slightly from The South Beach Diet Parties and Holidays Cookbook.)
1/4 cup pecan halves or pieces
1/4 cup bran cereal (I used Fiber One, which has no added sugar)
1/4 cup rolled oats (I used Bob's Red Mill Extra Thick Rolled Oats)
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut
1/4 cup semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips (the recipe called for bittersweet, but I only had semi-sweet)
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup trans-fat free margarine, butter, or coconut oil (Use margarine for the South Beach Diet)
1/4 cup Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated Sweetener, Splenda, or sugar (use Stevia or Splenda for the South Beach Diet)
1 egg
1 T vanilla

Influence of federal cyber workforce roadmap growing
Monday - 10/8/2012, 5:21am EDT
Jared Serbu, DoD reporter, Federal News Radio
The initial version of the government's cybersecurity workforce framework is only a couple months old. But it's already having an influence on how agencies and academia think about how their training and education programs will respond to the nationwide shortage of cyber professionals.
The Cybersecurity Workforce Framework, developed by 20 different agencies, is based on the idea that the nation has to define exactly what a cybersecurity professional is before organizations can start to effectively bolster the quality and quantity of employees who design and defend critical technology systems.
The draft version of the document, developed a year ago, already has been used by agencies and universities to refine job descriptions, revamp training and education programs and help industry, academia and government to begin to reach consensus on the makeup of a modern-day cybersecurity workforce, said Peggy Maxon, the director for cyber education strategy at the Department of Homeland Security.
"Within the government alone, there were over 20 different standards or descriptions," she said during a panel discussion at a recent event in Washington sponsored by the Intelligence and National Security Alliance. "In order to stimulate and build a cybersecurity workforce that's going to protect our nation in this time of technology, we need to have a common understanding of what a cybersecurity professional is."
The framework tries to create a common lexicon to describe various job positions in the cybersecurity workforce, much of which is made up of job titles that don't contain the word "cyber." Systems administrators, lawyers, forensic analysts, requirements planners and training experts are among a few dozen specialty areas the framework lays out along with general knowledge, skill and ability requirements for each group.
Maxon said the main goal was to set up a system that's flexible enough to apply to any organization's existing organizational structure, but still allows the people who hire, train and educate cyber professionals to all speak the same language.
"This becomes a very, very powerful tool for everyone to use," she said. "It allows a common baseline so that everyone can say, 'Ok, that's the kind of skills I want.'"
Changes to federal personnel systems
The National Institute of Standards and Technology published the final 1.0 version of the framework in late August as part of the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE). Agencies have been consulting with industry and academia for the past year to refine the 31 separate functional areas that currently make up the framework, but the government has been implementing it at the same time based on its draft form.
Charles Clancy, director, Hume Center, Virginia Tech
The Office of Personnel Management already has made changes to personnel systems so that job descriptions map to the framework, and the plan also already has had in impact on cyber education at colleges and universities across the country, Maxon said.
"An education program co-led by the National Security Agency and DHS now has 166 two-year and four-year universities across the country that have been designated as centers for academic excellence in information assurance or cybersecurity, and they're linking their curriculum to this," she said. "So we're honing not just a definition, but we're driving education programs throughout the nation."
One of those centers of excellence is at Virginia Tech, where Dr. Charles Clancy, the director of the university's Hume Center for National Security and Technology, said the school is trying to build a cyber curriculum based on strong partnerships with both the tech industry and with federal agencies.
"A good example of that is our partnerships with a variety of federal agencies that allow us to get students security clearances while they're grad students working on projects," he said. "I think we've gotten 63 people cleared through that program in the past two years. What we've found is that if students get that mission sense and understand what's going on behind the curtain, they're much, much more likely to go into federal service as opposed to going to work in Silicon Valley."
Joint training across DoD
Maxon said cyber challenges across the country also are using the framework to define the parameters of their competitions.
In the Defense Department, the Defense Information Systems Agency is using the NICE framework to create common, joint cyber training across all of the military services.
"As we look at the various roles an individual would play, we're making the determination of what's the appropriate training, skills and knowledge for each of those people as we work toward the development of more modularized training," Roger Greenwell, DISA's field security operations director said in a recent interview with Federal News Radio.
Now that version 1.0 of the framework is out, Maxon said agencies will discuss it further at a three-day public workshop beginning Oct. 30 on the NIST campus in Gaithersburg, Md. That forum will help define the next version of the framework, which agencies expect to continue updating to match continuing changes in technology and workforce capability. The functional areas reflected in current version of the document will be updated each year, she said.
In December, NICE will go live with a new website that will serve as an implementation tool for the entire national cybersecurity education initiative.
Additionally, Maxon said the government intends to launch a database to help serve and integrate the training needs of the cyber workforce in industry.
"So that if somebody's out in California supporting the health sector, or in the middle of the country supporting the transportation sector, they can all go into this and find out where they can get training," she said. "For example, they can type in a specialty area like digital forensics, and we'll take them to educational and training curriculum that will help them grow in their career. We're very excited about all of this, and it will succeed if we can connect it to industry."

text: There's definitely not a shortage of concert footage floating around. From esteemed directors to random people waving an iPhone in everyone's face, there's a ton of material to shift through, but, now that watching your favorite band live from behind a screen is so easy, there's a question I've been thinking about a lot lately: what separates someone capturing a night when a band is on fire from a great concert documentary? Because there is a difference. And what bridges the gap is an underlying storyline. Some sort of innovative, emotional, or humanitarian connection that changes the way we think about, talk about, or listen to one or multiple performers. Something that makes it feel cinematic. Or stranger than fiction.

Many freeskiing and snowboarding athletes who might have considered retiring from their sports are staying in the game longer for a chance to compete in the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia, where ski and snowboard slopestyle and ski halfpipe will make their Olympic debuts.

Herbert Lieutenant Governor o News Release July 1,2008 Contact: Lisa Roskelley Governor's Spokeswoman Office (801) 538-1503 Cell (801) 560-0137 Governor Huntsman Leads Western Governors Association as New Chair Salt Lake City - Utah Governor Jon Huntsman officially began as Chairman of the Western Governors' Association (WGA) today at the conclusion of the annual convention in Jackson, Wyoming. The Governor has been serving as Vice Chair for the past year and was elected to the position Sunday by his peers. "We must continue to focus on the issues that not only impact our region, but the globe. As we consider the issues of the environment and energy that are so critical, we must do so with three main concerns at the forefront: affordability, energy security and emissions," Governor Huntsman said. C "However, there is only so much we can do as a region, we must engage people outside of our nation's borders io bring an international dimension to the WGA. The challenges we face in the West cannot be solved without a global approach." Governor Huntsman replaces Governor Dave Freudenthal as the Chair. The Governor will serve for a one year period and along with the new Vice Chair of WGA, Governor Brian Schweitzer of Montana. The Western Governor's Association serves the Governors of 19 states and three U.S. flag pacific islands. WGA addresses important policy and governance issues in the West, advances the role of the Western states in the federal system, and strengthens the social and economic fabric of the region. The association develops policy and carries out programs in the areas of natural resources, the environment, human services, economic development, international relations and state governance. WGA acts as a center of innovation and promotes shared development of solutions to regional problems. The complete annual meeting agenda is available on the Web at www.westgov.org. ###
