WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Bob Casey, Chairman of the Joint Economic Committee (JEC), released a JEC report detailing the adverse effects that intellectual property theft has on our nation's economic growth and ability to create jobs. The report, entitled "The Impact of Intellectual Property Theft on the Economy," reveals the significant revenue losses for corporations, consumers and tax payers attributed to counterfeiting and piracy.
"Counterfeiting and piracy have become increasingly widespread, especially from China, hampering innovation and competitiveness and costing America jobs at a time when far too many are looking for work," said Chairman Casey. "As our economy continues to recover, we must fight to alleviate roadblocks to growth like IP infringement, so that our businesses grow and create jobs."
Protecting intellectual property is crucial for protecting and creating American jobs. IP-intensive industries accounted for nearly 20 percent of the U.S. workforce and a third of GDP in 2010, economic activity that is at risk from theft and cheating. IP-intensive industries have higher wages, contribute more to trade and generate greater sales per employee than non-IP intensive industries.
Not only are jobs and businesses harmed by IP infringement, consumers are put at risk by lower quality counterfeit goods. Some of these counterfeits include medication that could pose potential health and safety risks. IP theft has risen in recent years, the report finds. The amount of cases investigated by the United States International Trade Commission (U.S. ITC) rose by 80.6 percent in 2010 and 23.2 percent in 2011. While the problem is worldwide, China accounts for the vast majority of pirated goods seized at the U.S. border.
Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, but many small firms lack the budget and resources to adequately defend themselves against IP theft or pursue enforcement action against losses. While small businesses represent 79 percent of all businesses in the country, only 10.5 percent have issued IP theft complaints. Resolution of infringement complaints is also hampered by a lengthy process. Nearly one-third of all submitted cases to the U.S. ITC took over a year to resolve.

- Description
ATI was the first company that introduced T5-lamps and T5-Fixtures to the Aquarium marketplace in 2001and it was always our goal to show the real power and potential of the T5-Technology. In 2004 we started to use high-tech reflector material (efficiency +10%). In 2005 we developed an active cooling system in our Fixtures in order to hold the T5-lamps in the best working point and maximum light output (Efficiency +15%).
Also, we changed our supplier of T5-lamps in order to realize the best possible T5-lamps. Today there are no doubts that our popular "Blue plus" is one of the best T5-lamps available. The new Sunpower is our latest Innovation and represents all the experience of ATI in T5-Technology. The differences are in details.
All Advantages in an Overview:
- 1. optimized active cooling system: An active, regulated cooling in our new Sunpower provides the performance cooling for the electronic ballasts (EVG) and the T-5 tubes. We cool both. Thereby, the electronics are preserved and simultaneously, the T-5 tubes are stabilized at an optimum temperature range, which results in an extra performance increase of 15 -20 %
- 2. best reflective material on the market: We have decided to use the most superior reflecting materials on the market today. The Reflector material in our Sunpower has a total reflectivity of 98%. Normally polished aluminum reflectors has a reflectivity of 90-95 %. This means a further step in the efficiency increase in the T-5 technology. (+5-10%)
- 3. Safety: splash-protector made of acrylic-glass.
- 4. LESS MAINTENANCE: No encrusted Tubes and Reflectors to be cleaned
- 5. OPERATIONAL PROXIMITY TO THE WATER SURFACE : Via the splash-protection of the lights themselves, one can place them without hesitation closer to the water surface, which also leads to an increase of illumination in the aquarium, and thereby allowing a more efficient use of energy and degree of illumination (+10%).
- 6. SOLID CRAFTSMANSHIP: Components supplied by Brand-Named Manufactures and assembled by skilled workers Common Sizing Guideline: soft coral tanks up to 160 gallons, mixed reef tanks up to 110 gallons and SPS dominated tanks up to 80 gallons. Recommended Tank Depth: up to 30" with carefully planned placement of corals. Power Consumption: approximately 3.0 Amps.
Due to its large size this fixture ships on a pallet.
Warranty: 1 year.
Bulbs sold separately.

Furloughing the money-makers
Tuesday - 3/5/2013, 2:00am EST
If somebody guaranteed you a $7 to $10 return for every dollar you invested, would you take the deal?
If your company sent specialists to 14,000 customers, and the specialists brought back $9,354 for every hour they spent on the job, would you send them back next year?
Probably so...
Which is why it puzzles some people — like silly old taxpayers — as to why Congress keeps cutting the staff of the government's biggest money-maker: The Internal Revenue Service.
IRS is one of the few federal operations that makes money. If it were allowed to live off customer fees.
But IRS, like other federal operations, will be hit by sequestration. Whether and how much this will cut into revenue not collected or tax refunds delayed, is yet to be seen. But the IRS has been shrinking for years.
In January of this year, the Reuters news agency put out a great story headlined: "Honey, They Shrunk The IRS." The piece said that cutting the IRS by 5 percent, as proposed by some in Congress, "makes as much sense as a hospital firing surgeons or a car dealer laying off salespeople when customers fill the showroom."
Using IRS data, the story said that auditors assigned to the 14,000 largest firms and corporations found $9,354 in additional tax owed for every hour spent testing tax returns in fiscal year 2009. Since the highest paid auditors at that time earned $71 per hour, Reuters did the math and concluded — based on a work year of 2,080 hours — the government could lose $19 million each year for every senior corporate auditor position cut from the payroll or not allowed, for other reasons, to do his or her basic job.
Furloughing people like that will cost more than it will save.
Twenty years ago — with a much smaller U.S. population — IRS had about 118,00 workers. Now it has about 95,000. The chances of getting audited are much less. This is great for honest taxpayers for whom an audit can be a costly nightmare. And it is even greater for tax cheats or people considering fudging their returns.
Now, on top of regular annual cutbacks IRS, like other agencies, is in for across-the-board cuts at the peak of tax season.
Colleen Kelley, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, said NTEU will both bargain and work with the IRS over furloughs to find ways to cut costs that would head off some or all of the need to furlough people.
The American Federation of Government Employees union has pledged to bargain for members and bargaining-unit employees in agencies (like Defense) where it has a strong presence.
Despite the desperate media reporting about the perils of sequestration, we (that is you) are not there. Yet. Most workers are entitled to an official written notice 30 days before any furlough can begin. Unions can also bargain the terms of the furloughs (like can workers pick their day?) and other points. Bottom line, there is still lots of time, talk and paperwork to come. As to how much work gets done, that's another question.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Happy with the result
Turned out exactly as picture. Colors/personalization is pretty true to what you see on the computer. I used all the different shades of orange with black/white pictures - my wedding colors are grey with orange accents. I also changed almost all the fonts, especially our names, to ones I thought were cute. I think I used Mrs. Blackfoot regular?. Definitely take advantage of ordering 1 sample (it ends up being free). I tweaked a couple little things once I saw it in person and am much much happier with the result than I would've been.
Great Choice
I found Magnet Street on the The Knot and thurns out it was the best decision. My Save the Date magnets are just what I wanted. The personal touch I was able to give them was awesome. The site is very user friendly and I will be back to do the program and invitation!
Great Save-the-Dates! Personalized Invitation
MagnetStreet offers so many personalized options for all types of quality wedding stationary. I was most impressed by their willingness to create a new invitation design by request. I had fell in love with my Save-the-Date, but soon realized that it did not have a matching Invitation. I simply emailed Customer Services and asked whether it was possible to create a matching Invitation. They responded immediately and told me that a matching Invitation would be available on the website within 6-8 weeks! They even made sure to check with me about whether I needed the stationary sooner. I greatly appreciate their flexibility and responsiveness!
Absolutely loved this product and the ability to customize it!
Came in a timely fashion - loved the quality of this product, the ability to customize it, and everything about the product and service!!! Used this for our wedding invitations - wanted something different that people could put on their fridges and not lose...it was great to use our photos and wedding colors.
Great design for multiple colors!
I love this design! Our wedding has a very bohemian/Indian kind of feel so this really matched perfectly. I loved that with this design we could choose more than the "two color" palette that most weddings have. You can really play with the colors and make the perfect design for you. The quality is also really great. My only suggestion to the design team is that I wish you could move and resize the text boxes around a bit (for any of the templates, not just this one). There were a few that we really liked, but because our names are longer it just didn't look right in the box that was given. If we could have moved it over the the left or right or whatever, it could have been a different story.

JON CARDINELLI writes the Sharks will need to be more disciplined and clinical if they hope to record their first win of the 2012 tournament on Saturday.
It was always going to be difficult to come away from Loftus Versfeld and Newlands with the winning points, but the Sharks will know that they let themselves down badly. They lacked aggression, or 'attitude' as John Plumtree described it, in that performance against the Bulls. They produced an improved showing against the Stormers, but lacked the ability to finish the Cape franchise off.
The Sharks were manhandled in Pretoria but the game in Cape Town was there for the taking. Stormers fullback Joe Pietersen did miss four attempts at goal, which would suggest that the hosts should have won by a more comfortable margin than 15-12. But considering Pat Lambie also fluffed two kicks at goal and that the Sharks were stronger in other facets, Plumtree and his charges should be more than a little disappointed that they didn't walk away with the spoils.
They had 58% of the territory and 52% of the possession, stats that indicate there were a fair number of opportunities to strike at a Stormers defensive line that was not at its best. While the hosts were better in the second stanza, they slipped 12 tackles in the first half. They were fortunate that the Sharks didn't capitalise on this attacking momentum and establish more than a 9-6 advantage by half-time.
The Stormers scrum enjoyed a good evening, but neither side was particularly dominant at the lineout and breakdowns. There was plenty of intent, but not much accuracy and this impacted on the Sharks' ball retention.
There were 21 lost possessions when they faced the Bulls (a stat that includes breakdown turnovers and handling errors among others) and 21 lost possessions against the Stormers. In that second match, they were guilty of nine handling errors.
They also battled to string many phases together, only managing to take the ball through seven or more phases on five occasions. And when they did keep the ball for long enough to stretch the opposition defence, they failed to translate this possession into points.
They looked underdone in that match against the Bulls, and there were still signs of rust in the fixture against the Stormers. But there will be no margin for error come Saturday.
They've now lost two from two, and are desperate to record their first win. They're back in Durban to host the Lions, and must settle quickly in this fixture if they're to end this losing streak.
It's a game you'd expect the Sharks to win, given their record against the Lions at Kings Park in recent years. Minimising handling errors and penalties at the breakdown will be crucial in their drive to retain more possession. Achieving that, they will need to be more clinical than they were in Cape Town and they will need to translate sustained periods of pressure into points.
There have been complaints about the weather in Durban at this time of year, as the heat and humidity can make handling difficult. Nevertheless, the Sharks will need to produce a more controlled showing. The Lions are a dangerous side on the counter-attack, and so spilled ball will not only rob the Sharks of possession and potential scoring chances but also create scoring opportunities for the Lions' excellent broken-field players.
The discipline at the breakdown will also be under scrutiny. The Lions have some talented players in this area, and while the Sharks shouldn't be lacking in attitude, they will need to be more accurate and mindful of the referee's law interpretations. It's been a problem in the past two matches where they've conceded 12 and 14 penalties respectively. Twelve of those 30 penalties have been at the ruck.

Sequestration already biting Navy, Marines readiness
Thursday - 5/2/2013, 5:15am EDT
Defense Department leaders spent months warning Congress that military readiness would begin to erode if sequestration went into effect on March 1. The Navy and Marine Corps are telling lawmakers that it's now happening and that things will only get worse from here.
Across government, agencies say the impact of sequestration will be somewhat insidious. But in the case of DoD's two sea services, they're already feeling it, officials told the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness.
Vice Adm. William Burke, deputy chief of naval operations for warfare systems, Navy
"Due to reduced training and maintenance, almost all of our non-deployed ships and aviation squadrons are soon going to be less than fully mission capable and not certified for major combat operations. That's about two-thirds of the fleet," said Vice Adm. William Burke, the deputy chief of naval operations for warfare systems.
Two months into sequestration, the Marine Corps told a similar story. Lt. Gen. William Tryon, the deputy commandant for plans, policies and operations, said more than half of all non-deployed Marine units are currently at "unacceptable" levels of readiness.
"And our crisis response mission is incompatible with tiered readiness," he said. "Marines don't start to get ready when a crisis occurs. We must be ready, we must be forward deployed and we must be prepared to respond immediately."
Limited surge capacity
Both services say they have not yet been put in a position in which they've been forced to deploy forces and equipment without the requisite training and preparation.
Sailors and marines who are currently deployed or who are next in line to deploy have had their training funded. But to accomplish that in the context of severely constricted operating and maintenance budgets, the services say they've had to virtually eliminate training for service members in line behind them.
"The ones that are not next to deploy are not doing very much," Burke said. "What we usually call that is surge capacity, the ability to quickly send ships and planes forward, and we've significantly reduced that capability."
Vice Adm. Philip Cullom, deputy chief of naval operations for fleet readiness and logistics, Navy.
Because of sequestration and the late passage of a 2013 budget, the Navy says it's already seeing a dramatic increase in "cross-decking" — the sharing of either sailors or equipment between multiple ships because there's not enough gear or talent to go around. That's one of the indicators officials say they'll be watching in order to determine whether readiness has degraded to dangerous levels.
Tryon said the Marine Corps has several other indicators on its watch list.
"We're going to know it's happened when we're unable to meet the requirements of our global combatant commanders. We're going to know when there's an increase in safety mishaps, and when there's a degradation in quality of life at our installations and bases," he said. "I would predict at this point that with sequestration, we'll be at a level that's far unacceptable, severely unacceptable, in fiscal 2014."
Vice Adm. Philip Cullom, the deputy chief of naval operations for fleet readiness and logistics, forecasted that the Navy likewise would see the ratio of units that do not meet readiness standards increase from two-thirds this year to 80 percent by next year.
O&M damage already done
Both services acknowledged that Congress helped matters somewhat by finally passing a 2013 budget in late March.
For instance, the Navy had originally planned to cancel all third and fourth quarter ship maintenance because of the combined effects of sequestration and the absence of a budget.
Burke said the Navy now has those maintenance availabilities at the top of the list of items it wants to "buy back" now that a budget is in place. But in some ways, the damage already has been done.
"When the money is not appropriated at the right time, planning stops. Secondly, private shipyards, knowing that availabilities are unlikely to happen, either lay off people or don't hire people," he said. "If the money gets appropriated later, the planning gets turned back on and shipyards hire, and we'll spend the money, but we're not going to get the maintenance done that we needed to get done."
Nor did the passage of a 2013 DoD budget eliminate the need for civilian furloughs. The entire Defense Department still is planning to furlough virtually all of its non-uniformed workforce for up to 14 days beginning this summer, leading to a nominal 20 percent cut to those employees' hours and pay.
"What we don't often think about with the furlough is that it also eliminates overtime," Cullom said. "It's not just a 20 percent reduction in work hours. It's much greater than that. We rely on a lot of overtime in both our shipyards and aviation depots so that we don't have too many people on board during periods when there's less work. So the impact is probably as high as 35 or 40 percent."

Men's Volleyball Nearly Completes Epic Comeback Before Falling to Mount Olive 3-2
February 20, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Mount Olive College lost a 2-0 lead and fought off a Pfeiffer University comeback to take a 3-2 (25-22, 25-20, 25-27, 16-25, 15-11) victory in Conference Carolinas mens volleyball action on Wednesday night inside the Merner Gym. The Trojans improve to 10-3 overall, 9-0 in league play, while the Falcons fall to 8-4, 7-2.
Mount Olive owned the first two sets until Pfeiffer rallied facing match point in set three. The Trojans saw a 24-22 lead, match point and the serve. A service error and back-to-back attack errors by the Trojans saw a two-point lead shift to a one point Pfeiffer lead 25-24. After a kill by Adam Miracle (Cincinnati, OH) knotted the contest at 25, Pfeiffers Sonny Hirini (Matamata, NEW ZEALAND) ripped off back-to-back kills for a 27-25 victory and a new 2-1 match.
The fourth set was all Pfeiffer as a kill by Caleb Brophy (Mission Viejo, CA) put the hosts up 11-6 while a Hirini ace moments later pushed the lead out to 16-11. Two more Trojan errors and a Kyle Landrigan (Delmar, NY) kill pushed the advantage to 23-15 until a final kill from Joe Supko (Irwin, PA) and attack error by Mount Olive squared the match at two sets apiece after a 25-16 set four win.
Both teams went back-and-forth in set five until a block by Richard Hesse (Muenchen, GERMANY) and Angel Dache (La Havana, CUBA) gave the Trojans a crucial two-point lead at 9-7. A pair of Tim Ebbecke (Commack, NY) kills with an ace from Alex Rivero (Miami, FL) mixed in, Mount Olive survived the dreaded five-set loss when leading by two holding on for the 15-11 victory.
Brophy would lead the Falcons with 16 kills hitting .345 in the loss. Landrigan would pick up 11 kills for Pfeiffer off the bench. David Specian (Loxahatchee, FL) contributed 51 assists while Mark Hess (Lebanon, PA) popped up a match-high 10 digs. Mount Olive would hit .323 in the match just a hair better than the Falcons .313.
Pfeiffer will step out of conference play on Saturday to host Lindenwood at 12:00 p.m. inside the Merner Gym. Live stats/video will be available courtesy of http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Community colleges are proven assets
Herald file 2009
Blair Haverstraw spins the blades of a windmill he and fellow materials science students built in a 2009 class at Edmonds Community College.
Herald file 2009
A student uses a rotor to taper the edge of the snowboard he made in a 2009 composite materials class at Edmonds Community College. The school's composites class helps prepare students for careers in aerospace or to enter bachelor's degree programs.
The Associate of Arts degree ("just about the best bang for the education buck you can find," according to careerbuilder.com) fell off resumes after our graduates earned their bachelor's degrees or landed their first jobs.
Then, the economy went rocky, really rocky -- and all that changed. President George W. Bush proposed increasing support for community colleges in his Fourth State of the Union address "… so they can train workers for the industries that are creating the most new jobs."
President Obama held up our state's I-BEST program as a national model (basic education and job training combined) to get people into higher-paying jobs faster. When he talks about goals to help ensure that every American has at least one year of postsecondary education and that the U.S. has the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020 -- we're high on the agenda.
Last year I was invited to participate in a "Women in STEM" (science, technology, engineering, math) panel at the White House. Recently, Congressman Rick Larsen visited campus to talk with me and some student leaders about potential budget cuts to higher education (including some of the federal grants that Edmonds CC receives) and the importance of continued funding of federal financial aid, including Pell Grants.
We're getting that level of attention nationally. And, of course, there's NBC's TV show "Community." When they start taking jabs at you in a sitcom, you know you've arrived.
Community colleges are now getting big-time recognition for what we've been steadily doing all along: stepping in when the economy's rough to retrain workers and helping adults learn basic skills so they can move into better jobs, as well as giving local students an affordable option to start their bachelor's degrees.
In 2009-10, 19,000 Washington state students who started at a community college and then transferred to a 4-year school collectively saved more than $100 million. But it's not just about helping our students or saving them money (although we love those success stories!); it's about benefiting neighborhoods and local businesses and, ultimately, our economy. We're innovators that strengthen the economy and become a bright spot IN the community FOR the community. We bolster county revenues, the state's budget, and our nation's security.
Our two-year colleges are local, flexible, and job-relevant. In 2010, 116,000 laid-off workers turned to Washington's community and technical colleges for retraining. Within a few months of completing their programs, 77 percent had jobs and nearly half were receiving higher wages than they were before. A year later, 94 percent were still employed and strengthening Washington's economy.
It's no wonder that about 470,000 Washingtonians turn to our colleges each year for academics and job training. Education pays. It's estimated that the accumulated contribution of Edmonds Community College's former students adds $166.1 million in income annually to Snohomish County.
It's no surprise then that when times got extra tough, community colleges showed up on the national stage. What is surprising is that, considering all of this, here in Washington, here at home in our progressive state, the legislature may be considering further funding cuts for community colleges (already down almost $175 million, or 23 percent, since 2009).
The imperative to fully fund K-12 education and the reluctance to increase tax revenues leaves community colleges very vulnerable. But it makes no sense to weaken these economic engines.
We're looking out for our state's future prosperity. Community and technical colleges in Washington offer programs in aerospace, alternative energy, business services, hospitality, health care, advanced manufacturing, and sustainable agriculture -- all critical areas of growth in Washington.
President Obama believes that the United States must once again lead the world in college attainment, and that a larger number of those graduates need to be prepared to compete for high-paying STEM occupations.
STEM-related jobs help our tax base, as employees in STEM occupations typically earn higher salaries than other workers. And there are jobs; for every unemployed person in Washington, there are two vacant STEM jobs.
The national goal -- to train one million additional STEM graduates over the next decade to fill the growing number of jobs that require STEM skills -- will require our participation. One-third of all STEM baccalaureate degree holders in Washington began at a community or technical college.
With 20 National Science Foundation grants, Edmonds Community College provides opportunities for more students to study in STEM fields. By providing scholarships and support services and reaching out to those who, without support, wouldn't earn math or science degrees, including many women, underrepresented minorities, low-income, and first-generation college students, we are increasing the number of students in science.
We're a proven asset. We provide opportunities for students to go above and beyond in their coursework so that they are optimally prepared to succeed at the university level. Students come to our college because it's affordable and then discover that our instructors are experts -- many hold doctorates or are industry authorities; that they can excel in our smaller class sizes; and that they are very well prepared to transfer (in fact, they graduate from four-year colleges and universities at a higher rate than students who start out there).
We give our students opportunities to challenge themselves with high-level academic programs including: honors classes; undergraduate research projects in disciplines such as physics with partners including CWU, WSU, WWU, UW, and NASA; and service-learning projects with more than 50 community partners.
We're strong partners with other state colleges and with local businesses. In the aerospace and advanced manufacturing field, for example, Edmonds Community College partners with the Boeing Co., Giddens Industries, and Crane Aerospace to match its training to employer needs. Classes introduce students to composite materials and engineering design, preparing students for aerospace careers or to enter bachelor's degree programs. Students can also gain business skills for manufacturing careers.
Edmonds CC houses the National Resource Center for Materials Education Technology, which provides curriculum for materials technology nationwide, and operates the Washington Aerospace Training and Research (WATR) Center, which offers accelerated, industry-specific, entry-level training in aerospace manufacturing. The WATR center has placed 644 students in living-wage jobs in aerospace since opening in June of 2010.
It's clear the state would be better off making an investment in our colleges. Instead, we're wondering what we'll do if we face further cuts. We appreciate your support and hope that the legislature at least maintains the current level of funding for our state's 34 community and technical colleges. In your community, Edmonds, Everett, Cascadia, and Shoreline community colleges and Lake Washington Institute of Technology are all working together to streamline services for students and be even better. Help us keep doing the work you need us to do.
Dr. Jean Hernandez is president of Edmonds Community College.

His years of service left him stressed, weathered and wearied, just like the real Abraham Lincoln was after years of strife commanding Union armies during the Civil War.
But this Abraham Lincoln, a life-sized plaster statue, has been returned to the vigorous form of his youth, when he watched thousands of students coming and going over the years at Lincoln Elementary School. Come January, he'll be surrounded again by schoolchildren.
Abe the statue hasn't always stood sentinel over the school. For most of the past two decades – no one seems to be certain exactly how long – Abe made his way from his post at the school to the district's warehouse, to an antique mall, to a collector's back yard. The collector, recognizing the statue's sentimental value to the school district, made sure it found its way back home.
"I am very excited. I can't believe it came true," Lincoln Elementary Principal Tammie Ledesma said.
Right now, Ledesma's students occupy a temporary school site near Harbor Boulevard and Ball Road while the original Lincoln Elementary – near Broadway and East Street – gets remodeled and upgraded. In January, the near-as-new Lincoln statue will have a prominent place in the campus office where it will greet visitors and serve as a focus for history lessons.
It's a happy ending and the terminus of a long journey, though Abe doesn't appear to have left Anaheim.
The last place Abe spent a significant amount of time, perhaps 10 to 15 years, was in the west Anaheim back yard of John and Cathy Spencer. Both are avid collectors with a particular interest in Lincoln memorabilia.
When the antique mall's owner began to shut the place down, the Spencers negotiated to purchase Lincoln for $500. They had thought about buying a larger home with high ceilings and thought Lincoln would be the perfect accompaniment to the foyer.
"This statue was going to be the crown jewel of our collection," John Spencer said, but that changed when they decided to remain in their current home. "He's so big, and you need a big space for him."
Because of his size, Abe, though treasured, was relegated to the back yard, where the summer sun and winter damp alternately tested the statue's exterior.
"The type of material he's made with doesn't weather well. He needs to be inside," Spencer said.
Distressed at watching Abe deteriorate, he began to make calls.
The local historical society was happy to learn of Abe's whereabouts but had neither the space nor the budget to care for him, Spencer said. A Lincoln museum in Redlands similarly turned down custody of the statue because of a stretched budget. Everything changed when Spencer called Peter Daniels, director of communications for the Anaheim City School District.
Spencer's voice quickened as he spoke about Daniels coming to their home, smiling and excitedly checking out the statue. Daniels, with the Spencers' blessing, immediately began crafting a plan to bring Abe home.
"I was so happy to give him away so he could find a new home. Finally," Spencer said.
Not that Abe could just roll into the school, where he stood outside for years – although no one seems to know how many. Weathering had peeled the statue's paint, caused chunks to fall out of its base, and caused a large crack to open down Abe's right side.
"There were a couple places where you could look in and see out the other side," said David Aeppli, the owner of Display, an Anaheim business that specializes in transportation and installation of art pieces. Still, being in the art business, Aeppli knew how to gather a team to rescue Abe.

This is a great product for people with a regular width foot. In my case, my feet over pronate and I seem to have straight not curved foot. Also my toes are kind of box shaped requiring me to buy shoes with wider toe boxes.

So the crew went out to Otter Creek Saturday and wrapped up the debris pick-up effort. From the day we started till Saturday we've hauled about fifteen loads of debris from the course. When I say fifteen loads I mean fifteen, 20 foot trailers, rounded off with debris. Don't get me wrong, there is still small branches here and there that can be tossed from the fairways as we play or chopped up by the bush-hog. We just removed the big stuff and did a general sprucing up.
We visually inspected every pin to see what was going to be involved in getting the baskets back in place. We also inspected the baskets to ensure that there was no damage done to them. Some of the baskets will need to be welded in a few spots but this is the way they were before they were removed. The park did a great job of carefully removing them when they came out. I was the only disc golfer there helping them remove the baskets from the course a few years ago so I can put all the rumors to rest that the baskets were handled poorly by the previous staff.
We'll have at least two more work days. On those days we'll be installing the baskets and POSSIBLY pouring some replacement tees for some pads that are really busted up. They were broken before the course was closed but now seems like a good time to fix them. We may decide to leave the tees alone for now though as they are still functional. We'll also be installing the tee signs, benches, and garbage cans.
When I first went back to the course, it was heart breaking. Seeing all the baskets gone and the destruction that nature had done to the course was overwhelming at first. Saturday, when we walked from hole #1 to #18, it felt like home again. There's still more work to do but Otter Creek looks really familiar once again.

fiend-o-hell, if you're serous about vanilla compatibility, request that ever map maker sends their maps with an LMP showing them getting all kills and secrets. Then play it back with Chocolate-Doom/-complevel 2 PrBoom+/ Vanilla Doom.
Archy said:
Also, while I have many ideas for this WAD, I won't bee sending in any maps..."

Map30 should totally be Coulrophobia.
fiend-o-hell said:
As for the the comp level, these maps should be limit removing only, so there is no need to adhere to strict vanilla/choco guidelines. Basically if it plays fine in prboom+ on -complevel 2, your good to go!

PS: The compatibility level your referring to is called Doom 2+ (though just call it -complevel 2 so you don't confuse people), Doom2+ is Vanilla Doom with the removal of limits.

Hometown shows are always special nights.
Next weekend, the Heartbreakers will bring the Mojo tour to Los Angeles for a homecoming show at the Hollywood Bowl that will no doubt be full of friends and family.
Friday night at Houston's Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion was much the same way for Billy Gibbons, the 60-year-old Houston native and frontman for ZZ Top. A few songs into their set, Gibbons introduced his mother, Lorraine, who appeared onstage to thunderous applause and blew a kiss to her son.
That Little ol' Band from Texas dusted off classics including "Waiting on the Bus," "Tush," "La Grange" and "Legs" before gathering at the front of the stage for a bow amid a standing ovation.
Tom and the Heartbreakers fed off the tremendous energy ignited by ZZ Top with a fantastic two-hour tour-de-force featuring hits spanning the band's entire career that left the 17,000 in attendance screaming for more. As the band exited the stage after the "Running Down A Dream > American Girl" encore, Tom smiled and said, "Thank you and thank you to ZZ Top! What a night!"
Phoenix, here we come! Remember to check back for more from the Mojo tour!

Comments about Niterider Lightning Bug 2.0:
The button used to turn the product on and off stopped working after about a dozed rides. When the button broke, it stayed in the on position, and could only be turned off by taking the batteries out.

Comments about Niterider Lightning Bug 2.0:
I use this light for early morning rides. Not to help me see, but to help me be seen. It's easy to attach and use, but the LEDs are sitting right out in front and they flash into my eyes. I built a visor over the LEDs using cardboard and electical tape and I even wrapped tape over the on/off button because light leaks through that as well. Now it's nice.

Comments about Niterider Lightning Bug 2.0:
This little guy won't light up the landscape, but will get you seen. The fastener system can come undone, which could lead to the light falling off. It is super light and the battery lasts a long time.

Comments about Niterider Lightning Bug 2.0:
It is inexpensive and still delivers a bright light to help protect. You can spend more but this does the trick.
