American Pickers to Make Local Stop
Old barns...dusty attics...shoddy sheds. None of it is too much for Mike and Frank of the popular History Channel show American Pickers, and the pair is looking for places to stop in southwest Wisconsin. Officials with the Spring Green Area Chamber of Commerce were recently contacted by members of the American Pickers production team, who said that they are interested in filming episodes of the show in Wisconsin starting next month.
Local Student Artist Featured
One local student's art work will be on display at the US Capitol for the next year after placing first in the 2015 3rd Congressional District Art Contest. Congressman Ron Kind and his wife Tawni announced the winners over the weekend, and it was learned that LaFarge High School student Emily Sedgwick earned the top honors with her piece entitled "Road Trip to Madison." In addition, Sedgwick will be invited to Washington, D.C. for a reception honoring the nation's other top student artists.
Red Flag Warning
It's another dry day (Wednesday) in Wisconsin -- and the risk of wildfires keeps getting larger. The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning for most of the Badger State from noon-until-eight p-m today. That triggers a ban on open burning in those areas, and folks are encouraged not to smoke outside. The warnings cover most of the western two-thirds of Wisconsin. Forecasters say humidities will be as low as 10-percent today, with winds gusting to 30-miles-an-hour with temperatures in the 60's-and-70's. Forecasters say our next real chance for rain is on Sunday. In Sauk County, authorities found a body while fighting a forest fire yesterday afternoon in the town of Dellona near Lyndon Station. The body was found behind a house. The state D-N-R and Sauk County sheriff's deputies are investigating. On Monday, over 200-acres were burned in what was called the "Railroad Fire" west of Necedah in Juneau County. The D-N-R said no structures were damaged, but a fire-fighter was treated for smoke inhalation.
Spring Large Item Pick Up
Richland Center residents are reminded that Town & Country Sanitation will be in the community tomorrow (Saturday) for the semi-annual large item curbside garbage collection. It's the clean-up effort for items not normally removed with the regular weekly household garbage pick-up.
Donations in Honor of Angela Girton
Area residents wanting to make a donation locally to support the family of Angela Girton and the recovery operations, may do so at DJ's Kwik Stop in Gotham. There are two donation canisters. One is for the family and the other will support Bruce's Legacy which is helping with the recovery effort.
Bruce's Legacy to Assist Gotham Family in Search
The recovery operation continues to locate 5-year-old Angela Girton who fell into the Wisconsin River near Gotham on Monday night. Her body has not been found at this time. The efforts made yesterday (Wednesday) by the Madison Police Department cadaver dog team may have determined a possible location of her body.
Update on Missing Gotham Girl
Officials with Richland County Emergency Management would like to inform the public that the recovery operation continues for Angela Girton. Emergency crews remain on the Wisconsin River in search of the 5-year old who fell into the river Monday night. There have been on-line accounts that Angela has been found. Richland County officials reported mid-afternoon that that is not the case and the recovery efforts continued this (Wednesday) afternoon.
Election Results
Voters in the Weston School District overwhelmingly approved the referendum question posed to them yesterday (Tuesday) by a nearly 2-to-1 margin. 360 voters said "yes", while 196 voted "no" to an additional $715,000 for the next five years for operational costs and an upgrade to Weston's HVAC system, including replacing the boiler system.

Rating: 5/5Great dehumidifier
This review is from: EdgeStar Energy Star 70 Pint Portable Dehumidifier - White
Pros: The unit is surprisingly quiet, for a dehumidifier. It is really effective at removing water from the air, and drops the humidity in a below grade room about 25'by 12' from about mid 60's to low 40's in a day. I turn it completely off in between cycles, because it saves electricity (the fan continues to run on automatic), and it still keeps the humidity down. It's fairly easy to empty, haven't used a hose.
Cons: The tank is a little awkward to remove from unit, care must be taken. That said, it's not really hard, it just requires attention. Replacing it also requires care. Careless insertion might break something. And you can't set it down, it's unstable. The instructions say this, so they tell you.
Other Thoughts: So far, the unit has exceeded expectations. Easy to use, but one can't become careless.

Protected Mobility...The Joint Biological Point Detection System (JBPDS) is a robust bio-detection instrument suite that is fully functional in any operational environment. The JBPDS provides automatic detection and identification of airborne biological agents at very low levels, triggers local and remote warning systems, and communicates threat information over standard communication systems.
Laser Focused...Using laser-induced fluorescence, the trigger/detector continuously evaluates the atmospheric background for traces of potential biological agents. When the system detects something of a suspicious nature, the collector/concentrator is initiated to sample of hundreds of liters of air-per-minute, providing a small amount of liquid containing the collected and concentrated aerosol sample.
This sample is then evaluated for specific biological agents using immuno assays (similar to pregnancy test strips) with an automated reader assembly. If the assay shows signs of biological agents, an alarm is sounded. A portion of the liquid sample collected is provided for gold-standard laboratory analysis following each collection.

Normality returned to Kashmir Valley on Sunday albeit for a brief period amid a fresh calendar of protests and strike rolled out by the hardline faction of the Hurriyat Conference led by Syed Ali Geelani.
It was nearly after a month that life returned to normal though on two previous occasions the separatists had relaxed their programme of unending strikes. Markets overflowed with people who came to buy essential commodities.
There were hours-long traffic jams.
Even as it was Sunday, the Jammu and Kashmir Bank and some other private banks had opened their branches for the convenience of the people. Shops, business establishments and some educational institutions opened early morning to compensate the losses. Kashmir University also cancelled all holidays and Sundays and asked its staff to work for nine hours to make up for the lost time.
As people thronged the markets, traffic also surged on to the roads and led to jams almost everywhere and moved at snail's pace. Major roads were blocked for many hours. "It looks like as if tomorrow it is Id as people are on a shopping spree," said Mansoor Ahmad, a student. Shopkeepers are also expecting to sell more as they have faced enormous losses in the past four weeks.
"We have suffered a lot and today we expect to make something," said Abdul Aziz, a shopkeeper on Residency Road.
However, the business houses are still facing problems as the flow of money has almost stopped with many government offices not able to function and banks closed.
The Kashmir Valley has been reeling under trouble for the last one month during which 16 people — mostly youth — died in police and CRPF actions.
The separatist alliance of the Hurriyat had been calling for protests since June 26.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In the years preceding the financial crisis, investors swarmed to the BRICs -- Brazil, Russia, India, and China. But those markets have slipped to the sidelines lately.
This year iShares MSCI Russia ETF (ERUS) declined 8.1%, while iShares FTSE China 25 (FXI) dropped 6.7%. ETFs from India and Brazil have also dipped into the red. The poor performance of the BRICs is particularly notable because other emerging markets have been thriving. This year iShares MSCI Philippines (EPHE) gained 23.8%, while iShares MSCI Indonesia (EIDO) climbed 16.0%, and iShares MSCI Turkey (TUR) returned 12.9%.
Can the BRICs regain the lead? Not yet, says James Upton, a portfolio manager for Morgan Stanley. "The BRICs are essentially broken," he said in a talk at a recent investment conference. "They all hit peak growth rates, and they are slowing down."
GDP growth in China has fallen sharply in recent years, dropping from 10.4% in 2010 to 7.8% in 2012. In India, the rate dropped from 11.2% to 4.0%. Upton says that the slowdown should not be surprising.As countries such as Korea and Taiwan modernized, their growth rates soared to double-digits and then declined. "After you have had a period of strong growth, it is hard to continue growing at double-digit rates," he said.
Upton says that China must slow down because the government has been spending at a pace that cannot be sustained. He says that countries should spend from 25% to 35% of GDP on infrastructure and other long-term investments, but China has been spending 48%. "A lot of the infrastructure in China is superb now," he said. "They have high-speed trains and airports that are the best in the world. But it gets to the point where you cannot continue to add to that." Brazil's GDP growth rate dropped from 7.5% in 2010 to 0.9% last year. Upton says that the country has been spending only 18% on investments. Poor roads and other outdated infrastructure have created bottlenecks. In addition, prices of commodities fell as demand from China weakened.
Soft commodity prices have taken a toll on Russia, which recorded a GDP rate that fell from 4.3% in 2010 to 3.4% in 2012. Russia has failed to diversify its economy away from dependence on oil exports.

Net zero DALE micro-home expands to provide more living space
July 4, 2013
Students from the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), and California Institute of Technology (Caltech), have joined forces to produce a net-zero micro-home concept for 2013's Solar Decathlon competition. Dubbed DALE, the futuristic dwelling is able to expand in size for those situations in which you don't want your micro-home to be quite so micro.
DALE (or the Dynamic Augmented Living Environment) comprises two modules which are joined together with an airtight seal. The modules are set on rails in order to enable them to separate, and thus create a courtyard space (with optional solar canopy). This increases the useable space from 600 sq ft to almost 1,800 sq ft (55–167 sq m). When required, the home can be contracted to its former size.
We've no additional information on how the rail system works at present, but have reached out to the company for clarification.
Module A contains two bedrooms, a living room, and a multipurpose space suitable for use as an office or entertainment area. Module B includes a kitchen, bathroom, and "mechanical room," which houses all the the green technology required to make the home net-zero. The interior is based around suspended sliding partitions, and so can be re-arranged to a degree, depending on the needs of its occupants.
Electricity is delivered via solar panels and an inverter, while an outdoor condenser can be used to extract heat from the outside air, or expel heat from the house. A solar hot water tank also provides hot water, and an energy monitoring system will be installed to allow occupants to keep a close eye on their energy usage.
Finer details are still a little thin on the ground at present, but the SCI-Arc and Caltech students expect to have a prototype ready for testing by late August, well in time for the annual US Department of Energy-sponsored Solar Decathlon to be held this October.
The video below shows a little more detail on the project.

The part I admire is the double envelope. I wish I could do this to my existing house. Protect the exterior walls with an external barrier that isolates the actual wall from the elements. However, I never thought of the horizontal shutters. Close the shutters in the summer to keep the house cool and open them in the winter to warm up the house. Brilliant!cfg83
Outstanding concept. Truly innovative and with technology improving this will just better.Cocoa Jackson

Pirates having a ball
Ahoy, me Hearties! It literally was old school week for me at my alma mater Saint Edward's Pirate Ball at The Moorings Club. The Ball was energized with pirate spirit, and the club was filled to near capacity. I ran into former schoolmates Sebastian and Petra (Stalquist) Blackman. I always admired Petra in school - she was and still is a loving, caring and beautifully sophisticated woman, and Sebastian is her perfect match. Also, I loved catching up with my former educators Margery Coupe and Sharon Knowles. These women had a major, positive impact on my life. How excellent we can see each other from time to time, and I can thank them publicly.

The subcommittee heard testimony from representatives of the Federal Trade Commission and state law officials on efforts to eliminate fraud in the automobile repair industry. Sears auto repair division came under fire in 1992 when news reports detailed an investigation into their repair service, which uncovered systematic fraud in performing unnecessary repairs on the autos of customers. The witnesses discussed steps taken to crack down on such fraud, and also commented on a videotaped excerpt from a television news station's investigation into auto repair fraud. close

HOUSTON (May 4, 2011) A clinical trial to test the safety and efficacy of a medication that could help pregnant women stop smoking has begun enrollment at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth).
The study targets pregnant women in their second and third trimesters when smoking can be quite harmful to the fetus, said Angela Stotts, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the UTHealth Medical School.
"Pregnant women receive counseling or self-help materials but they may need something more powerful to stop smoking. Nicotine is one of the hardest substances to quit due to its action in the brain," Stotts said.
The medication, bupropion, is known under the brand name Zyban for smoking cessation and as the antidepressant Wellbutrin in a stronger formula.
"In nonpregnant smokers, bupropion has been shown to almost double the success rate of smoking cessation and is a relatively safe medication," Stotts said. "Some obstetricians already prescribe it during pregnancy for depression."
Pregnant women who smoke are twice as likely to suffer premature rupture of membranes, placental abruption and placenta previa, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They also have a 30 percent higher chance of delivering prematurely and their infants are up to three times more likely to die from sudden infant death syndrome. Infants born to smoking mothers also have a higher rate of low birth weight, increasing their risk for illness or death. Some studies have also linked developmental problems such as attention disorders to mothers who smoked during pregnancy.
According to a 2004 CDC report, on average, 13 percent of women continued to smoke during their pregnancy. This varies dramatically by region, however, with the South having some of the highest rates, Stotts said.
"Smoking is an addiction and women who continue to smoke du

This by far one of the best and easiest to use online storage app. I use one drive on my computer as well and love how it's the same on my iPhone. The only reason I give this 4/5 stars is because there's no offline support. This causes many issues, for example when I go to the gym I need to access my workout plan via one drive and it is difficult to have service in the gym. Second, I have tons of pictures and videos stored on my phone. I don't not want to waste my data on streaming my own picture/videos. I think offline support is one of the most important features for all cloud storage apps. Please update this for the consumers that actually enjoy using this app. If for some reason offline support is not added in the coming weeks, I will be forced to leave one drive for the many others that support offline use.
Thanks but please update.
iPad app need an update now!
I really love the one drive, it's actually pretty cool. With that said, I am really disappointed in the iPad app. It is really buggy! As it is right now you cannot use it while in landscape mode. There is a huge black bar on the right side and you cannot see any of the user interface icons on the bottom of the screen. They are completely cut off, that is until you rotate the iPad to portrait mode and even then the area of the screen is not maximized to its fullest potential! Don't even get me started on the order it uploads and automatically arranges photos, it's all kinds of scrambled! I should be able to move and rearrange my docs and photos easily, with this app, guess again! This is a really really poor showing for an extremely awesome service. The creators of the iPad app should really be ashamed of themselves! Did they even beta-test this app before they released it? Needless to say it is in need of some serious overhaul! Shame on you Microsoft! Shame on you!
missing features but great app
This app is great. It easy to use, and good price on additional storage. However four star rating should include other features. Pls add a feature to play videos on the actual app like dropbox has and the rating will definitely go up. With this feature it would make it easier to drop videos on the app and play it without needing another app. Then I wouldn't need dropbox and I can just use onedrive.
Also, please fix the photo sync. It is lagging and does not separate my photos according to the dates or location it is taken, a feature that google drive has.
If you can add these 2 features, I will re-rate much higher and won't need google drive or dropbox.
If you are thinking of getting this app, get it! it is great and the fact that onedrive has microsoft office, it beats google drive's version of word. I hope that these features will be added because I really enjoy using this app and this cloud drive! great work guys!
3/5 stars for now! im hoping the developers will read this and tweak it to make the app better... will rate it higher once i see these features on the app.
Thank u!

Law of Conservation of Mass - Concept

Kendal founded an academic coaching company in Washington D.C. and teaches in local area schools. In her spare time she loves to explore new places.
The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed. In a closed system, mass of reactants is equal to mass of products. The law of conservation of mass is related to the law of conservation of matter.
Alright so let's talk about the law of conservation of mass, the law of conservation of mass states exactly what it sounds like it should, mass is neither created or destroyed during a chemical change and it's conserved so we are only going to be able to change mass or change matter, we're not allowed to actually create matter out of nothing or destroy matter into nothing. Alright so how is this helpful in dealing with chemi- in dealing with chemical reactions, here's a scenario that we might use to employ the law of conservation of mass.
Alright let's say we have an experiment we have 10 grams of red mercury 2 oxide and it's placed in an oven flask and it's heated until all of it decomposes and it decomposes into it's elements mercury and oxygen and the liquid mercury has a mass of 9.26 grams, what is the mass that of oxygen that gas that is formed. Alright so we started off with a mass of 10 grams of mercury 2 oxide okay we're going to take this sign this is saying here are the reactants reacted to decomposing into its products we're going to say this is equal 2. We have mercury, mercury we measured in that's its 9.26 grams okay? And we wanted how much how much oxygen gas its given off, we don't know we also we do know that law of conservation of mass states we're not going to destroy any matter we can't create matter out of nothing so the same the mass on this side should equal the mass of the products, so we can just do a basic mathematical problem and subtract 9.26 from both sides and we come up with point 74 grams of oxygen gas that's given off okay so the law of conservation of mass is really easy and it's really it explains a simplest concept that we cannot create matter out of nothing we cannot destroy matter into nothing.

DIRECT TO HOME: A postman showing the range of stamps available for sale at a house in Coimbatore. Photo: K. Ananthan
COIMBATORE: Communication has advanced so much so that walking down to drop a letter in the post box is a memory for many.
And for the older generation, especially those who are not familiar with modern technology such as e-mail, handwritten letters are still the only means of communicating with relatives and friends.
India Post's new customer-friendly initiative benefits this segment most. Now, the postman not only delivers mail at the doorstep but also collects letters, including registered post, and sells stamps.
Postmen now carry pouches containing stamps of various denominations and covers. They also have receipt books to collect registered post and Speed Post.
The service, launched in Chennai in July, was introduced in the western region (Coimbatore, Erode, Salem, Namakkal, Dharmapuri, Krishnagiri and the Nilgiris districts and part of Tiruvannamalai and Vellore districts) in August.
The response has been encouraging. On an average, 500 letters were collected from the customers' doorstep in Salem district last month, says V. Rajarajan, Director, Postal Services, Western Region.
This service especially benefits the elderly, the disabled and companies that want to despatch bulk mail, he points out.

Welcome to the Linn County Emergency Management Agency
We are the "what if" agency? What if the "it can't happen here" happens? The mission of the Linn County Emergency Management Agency is to assure the coordination of the activities of City and County government, State and Federal entities, citizens, businesses, adjacent jurisdictions, and other disaster partners, to prepare for, respond to, recover from and mitigate major emergencies and disasters within Linn County.
Smart Time to use Smart Phones – Weather Awareness Aids Safety
Cedar Rapids – "Preparation for a severe weather event begins with each individual," stated Mike Goldberg, Linn County Emergency Management Director. "Emergency preparedness succeeds through the awareness and collective effort of every resident and business in our county. I encourage everyone to take advantage of apps that are available that send text, email and even voice notices that warn of threatening severe weather in the area. There are many apps for smart phones and computers, some are free. Our local Linn Alerts system is programmed to send notices to registered users and all phone landlines within the alert area when a TORNADO WARNING has been issued."
This system will also be used to notify the public of pending local emergencies or when there is a need to take a protective action. http://entry.inspironlogistics.com/linncounty_ia/wens.cfm
Ready to Go Off Grid
Due to the recent winter storms several communities across the county have experienced dangerous utility outages. Beyond the initial inconvenience, loss of electricity, gas or water can be life threatening. It is critical to know how you and your family can prepare and stay safe in the event of a utility outage.
Use FEMA's free, online activity module, "Going Off Grid: Utility Outages," to reference simple steps to get prepared for an outage. Some utility outage checklist items include:
- Document important phone numbers and vital power company information;
- Locate and label your utility shutoffs; and
- Have your disaster kit ready and stocked.
The "Going Off Grid: Utility Outages" activity module is part of FEMA's "Preparedness Activities for Communities Everywhere" tools, which educate individuals about easy ways to become prepared for all types of hazards. The tools are designed for anyone to use in coordination with local emergency preparedness partners to help better prepare for emergencies.
Wireless Emergency Alerts
Have you ever noticed a unique sound and vibration coming from your cell phone? You may have received aWireless Emergency Alert (WEA) – a nationwide emergency alert system notifying you of a pending emergency in your area. These messages provide information about extreme weather warnings, local emergencies, AMBER Alerts™, and Presidential Alerts during a national emergency.
WEAs look like a text message and show the type and time of the alert, any action you should take, and the agency issuing the alert. If you receive a WEA, follow any directions advised by the message and seek additional information from local media or authorities.
WEAs are sent by authorized government agencies through your mobile carrier. Government partners include local and state public safety agencies, FEMA, the Federal Communications Commission, the Department of Homeland Security, and the National Weather Service.
WEA messages can save lives! To learn more check, out FEMA's WEA Public Service Announcements and the Be Smart. Know Your Alerts and Warnings guide from America's PrepareAthon!
Food Safety During Blackouts
Loss of power can jeopardize the safety of the food stored in your home refrigerator or freezer. In the event of a blackout, do you know how to determine if your food is safe to eat? The U.S. Department of Agriculture(USDA) offers tips to minimize the potential loss of food and lower the risk of foodborne illness.
Before a blackout:
- Gather an emergency supply of shelf-stable food, packaged foods, boxed or canned milk, bottle water, and canned goods;
- Have coolers and frozen gel packs on hand to keep refrigerated food cold if the power goes out longer than four hours; and
- Keep freezer items close together—this helps the food stay cold longer.
Bacteria in food grow rapidly at temperatures between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The USDA instructs setting your refrigerator at or below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. If the power is out for less than four hours and the refrigerator door is kept closed, your food should be safe.
Following a blackout:
- Discard any perishable food items such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and leftovers that have been exposed to temperatures above 40 degrees Fahrenheit for two hours or more;
- Use a food thermometer to test the temperature of food – never taste it! You can't rely on appearance and odor to determine whether food is safe; and
- Discard any items in the refrigerator that have come into contact with raw meat, seafood, or poultry juices.
Power outages can occur anywhere at any time of the year. Make sure you and your family are prepared and know what to do to avoid getting sick.
Do 1 Thing in February
Last month we informed you about "Do 1 Thing," an exciting web-based program designed to prepare your family for emergencies throughout the year. We hope you were able to participate in the January theme of "Make a Plan." If not, we encourage you to take part in next month's theme: "Water."
Water is an essential element to survival and a necessary item in an emergency supply kit. During the month of February, take action to store three days' worth of water for your household.
"Do 1 Thing" offers the following list of ways to achieve this goal:
- Purchase and store a 72-hour supply of commercially bottled water;
- Bottle a 72-hour supply of water at home; or
- Learn how to provide a safe supply of drinking water for your household in a disaster.
By completing one of these actions, you'll be better prepared for the unexpected. Also, you will be participating in America's PrepareAthon!, a national campaign to prepare for hazards specific to your community through drills, group discussions, and exercises. Register your action on the campaign's website. Be counted among the two million preparedness actions already taken by families, businesses, and organizations across the country leading up to National PrepareAthon! Day on April 30, 2015.

Linn County completes installation of six additional outdoor warning sirens in rural Linn County
Sirens to be tested Nov. 5 as part of regular monthly test
LINN COUNTY, IA – November 3, 2014 – Linn County has completed the installation of six outdoor warning sirens in rural Linn County. In a contract approved by the Linn County Board of Supervisors in August, the six additional outdoor warning sirens will provide coverage for several areas, including some campgrounds. The areas covered by the sirens include approximately 11,000 properties and 2,100 residents.
The new sirens will be tested the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 5 as part of the monthly siren activation test performed by the Linn County Emergency Management Agency.
"We want residents living near the new sirens to be aware of them and to know that the sirens will be activated the first Wednesday of every month as part of our ongoing monthly test, beginning November 5," said Mike Goldberg, director of Linn County's Emergency Management Agency.
To help inform area residents of the installation and the upcoming test, the Emergency Management Agency will use its mass notification system on Tuesday to call residents listed in the 911 database and living within a two-mile radius of the new sirens.
Goldberg emphasizes that outdoor warning sirens are used for situational awareness and are not intended to be heard indoors. Their purpose is to alert people who are outdoors of potentially hazardous conditions and to seek shelter and additional information about the warning through the local media. EMA is working to code the sirens to activate only for emergencies in the affected area, but currently all six new sirens will activate even if they are not in the area of concern.
"For example, if the siren in Pinicon Ridge Park near Central City is activated for a tornado warning, the siren located south of the Airport National Golf Course will also be activated," said Goldberg. "We are working to address that issue, but it's another reminder for people to check the local media to find out why the sirens are sounding."
The new sirens were installed at the following locations:
1) Horseshoe Falls Road in Pinicon Ridge Park west of Central City
2) near the intersection of Troy Mills Road and Shore Lane south of Troy Mills
3) along Wapsi Ridge Drive near Hitaga Sand Ridge Prairie Preserve
4) near the intersection of County Road W54 and Walford Road north of Western
5) along Whittier Road north of Whittier
6) near the intersection of Stone Road and Highway 151 west of Springville
The total cost of the six sirens and the installation is $146,717. Linn County received a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division to fund the sirens. The cost is shared by FEMA, the State of Iowa, and Linn County. Linn County's portion, which is $22,007, will be paid from the county's rural services levy.
Activation of Sirens
The Linn County Emergency Management Agency reminds the public of the following criteria for the sounding of its outdoor public notification warning sirens:
Severe Weather
- Tornado Warning issued by the National Weather Service and/or
- Tornado or funnel cloud reported by a trained spotter
Severe Thunderstorms
- Severe Thunderstorm Warning issued by the National Weather Service or report received from a trained spotter that includes:
- wind 70 mph or greater, or
- golf ball sized hail or larger
Local Life-threatening Events
Non-weather emergencies (hazmat incident, terrorism, nuclear emergency, etc.) that pose a threat to those outdoors and require action to protect life.
All Clear
There will be no "all clear" signal from outdoor warning sirens.

Severe Weather Refresher
With our entry into this severe weather season our agency would like remind people to be prepared. Being prepared and acting quickly could be a matter of survival. BE Alert! Listen to the weather forecast on radio or television and obtain a NOAA Weather Radio.
In Linn County the outdoor warning sirens will be sounded for tornado warnings and severe thunderstorm warnings with 70 mph winds or greater or golf ball size hail or larger. If the outdoor warnings sound SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY and tune in to local radio, television, or use your NOAA Weather Radio to listen for emergency information.
Shelter Options:
In a structure go to a predesignated shelter area such as a safe room, basement, storm cellar, or the lowest building level. If there is no basement, go to the center of an interior room on the lowest level, away from corners, windows, doors, or outside walls. Put as many walls as possible between you and the outside.
In a vehicle, trailer, or mobile home–GET OUT IMMEDIATELY and go to the lowest floor of a sturdy, nearby building or a storm shelter. Mobile homes, even if tied down, offer little protection from tornadoes.
If caught outside lie flat in a nearby ditch or depression and cover your head with your hands. Do NOT get under an overpass or bridge; you are safer in low flat location. Watch out for flying debris, this is the biggest cause of fatalities and injuries.
Active Shooter Information
The Linn County Emergency Management Agency hosted ALICE (alert, lockdown, inform, counter and escape) training on February 25 and 26. Representatives from hospitals, schools, and law enforcement agencies throughout Linn, Benton, Jones, and Johnson counties took part in this two-day training program that included classroom and realistic "active shooter" scenarios. This training is designed to assist schools, businesses, law enforcement, and other entities with planning and reacting to armed intruders. Click here for the story from the Cedar Rapids Gazette. 2012 IA School Safety Guide
Earlier this year, Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division put in place a new school safety guide to assist schools in making plans and establishing procedures to make their facilities, students and staff safer. This guide covers a variety of emergencies, including how to respond to an intruder with a gun who enters their school intending to do harm. VIEW THE 2012 SCHOOL SAFETY GUIDE
Active Shooter Awareness Video The City of Houston developed a training video on active shooter response based on guidance from the Department of Homeland Security. Click here to watch. Year-Round Weather Radio Programing Service Linn County Emergency Management Agency will provide year-round assistance with programming or re-programming of weather alert radios. It is important that alert radios be functioning year-round and not forgotten after the severe weather season. These alert radios are a proven tool in the public warning system and we want to help citizens keep them in good working order throughout the year. A resident with a programming issue with a weather alert radio anytime during the year should call 319-892-6503 to make arrangements with Brad Ransford, Logistics Officer.

June 15, 2009 (BRONX, NY) In a study published in The Journal of Infectious Diseases, researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have identified cells in blood that predict which HIV-positive individuals are most likely to develop deadly fungal meningitis, a major cause of HIV-related death. This form of meningitis affects more than 900,000 HIV-infected people globallymost of them in sub-Saharan Africa and other areas of the world where antiretroviral therapy for HIV is not available.
A major cause of fungal meningitis is Cryptococcus neoformans, a yeast-like fungus commonly found in soil and in bird droppings. Virtually everyone has been infected with Cryptococcus neoformans, but a healthy immune system keeps the infection from ever causing disease.
The risk of developing fungal meningitis from Cryptococcus neoformans rises dramatically when people have weakened immunity, due to HIV infection or other reasons including the use of immunosuppressive drugs after organ transplantation, or for treating autoimmune diseases or cancer. Knowing which patients are most likely to develop fungal meningitis would allow costly drugs for preventing fungal disease to be targeted to those most in need. (In the U.S., the widespread use of antiretroviral therapy by HIV-infected people, and their preventive use of anti-fungal drugs, has dramatically reduced their rate of fungal meningitis from Cryptococcus neoformans to about 2%.)
In this study, Liise-anne Pirofski, M.D., describes a technique for predicting which HIV-infected patients are at greatest risk for developing fungal meningitis caused by Cryptococcus neoformans. Dr. Pirofski is chief in the division of infectious diseases at Einstein.
Dr. Pirofski and her colleagues counted the number of immune cells known as IgM memory B cells in the bloodstream of three groups of individuals: people infected with HIV

Mint automatic floor cleaner prepares for kitchen duty
By Darren Quick
April 21, 2010
Robot floor cleaners designed to free us from the drudgery of keeping the house clean are nothing new. Robotic vacuum cleaners, such as the Roomba, Electrolux Trilobite and Neato XV-11, have already found a place patrolling the carpet in many homes, and now the Mint Automatic Floor Cleaner that was first announced at CES in January is nearly ready to report for duty on hard surface floors.
Like its carpet trolling brethren, the Mint adapts to different home environments using a range of sensors and employs advanced navigation technologies to systematically clean floors. It is guided by a NorthStar navigation system that allows the unit to map where it is cleaning so it doesn't miss a spot or cover the same area over and over. Instead of being a vacuum or brush sweeper Mint automatically dusts and wet mops hard surface floors using popular cleaning cloths, such as Swiffer brand Dry and Wet Cloths and other similar products.
Using dry cloths Mint picks up dust, dirt and hair sitting on the surface, while a special mopping motion using wet cloths allows the unit to dissolve and wipe up deeper dirt and grime. Mint's rechargeable battery lasts over three hours when dry cleaning, and up to two hours for the more power intensive wet cleaning. Its creators say Mint will dry clean an average sized kitchen in around 25 minutes, while wet cleaning will take a bit longer at around 40 minutes.
To help it fit in tight spaces and hard to reach areas Mint measures about three inches high, while its cleaning pad is less than ten inches wide allowing it to maneuver between chair legs and other small spaces.
Evolution Robotics is currently taking pre-orders for the Mint ahead of a planned Q3 release through direct channels, with those interested needing to submit a US$20 non-refundable deposit, which will go towards the US$249 purchase price. The device will also be available through retail outlets in Q4, although initially the device will only be available in the US, but the company plans to expand internationally in 2011.
A robotic Swiffer, that\'s what this is. It\'s not the first robot hard floor cleaner. IIRC, iRobot\'s Scooba was the first.Facebook User
i am living in andhra pradesh in india. i require the mint automatic floor cleaners. where is avaiabe in india and cost and sercice points. thanking you sir jalarao.n

I have long thought that Joan Rivers is one of the hardest working women in America. If you go to her web site and click on "schedule," you will see that she is. I have met her twice. She was very friendly and personable. I wore her scarf with the stars today. I cried when I put it on. I was proud to wear it. God bless Joan, Melissa and Cooper. Pat from MA Continue Reading
I always look forward to the Rose of Tralee celebration at QVC. Thank you for writing the blog, Stephen. Do you think we should start lobbying for Jane to go to Ireland for St. Pat's Day in 2015? I do! Sincerely, Pat Dolan Continue Reading

The status associated with communicating and sharing each stage of the purchase process is potentially more important to India's millennial consumers than what they actually purchase, according to new research published by Paradox Panel, a think tank convened to research, debate and develop insights into India's 21-35 year-olds.
With 89% of Indian millennials researching online before making a purchase, and 74% of believing that they influence the buying decisions of others, the entire consumption process has become an opportunity to enhance profile and status – from research to post-purchase.
While India's millennials are extremely individualistic in their shopping habits – 43% Indian millennials shop alone and a third of them cite 'personal satisfaction' as the single most important factor behind their decision-making – the need for endorsement, validation and communication of each stage of the purchase process remains ever-present. 9 out of 10 Indian millennials actually believe it's their responsibility to share feedback with companies after a good or bad brand experience; sharing is not merely desirable for millennials, it has become a fundamental aspect of consumer behaviour.
The concept of Collective Individualism highlights this demographic group's obsession with self-expression, individual choice and personal opinion, while at the same time exhibiting an unprecedented desire to share and belong to some form of community, both in the professional and personal context. According to the Paradox Panel's Second Quarterly Report – India's Millennial Paradox and what it means for the way they consume – this contradiction is palpable at each stage of the purchase process.
Another consumer trend revealed in the report is millennials' obsession with the search for wisdom; not knowledge in the traditional sense, but rather information which is compelling yet difficult to find – the more compelling the information and complex the search the greater the resulting prestige.
According to S Ravi Kant, CEO, Eyewear Division & Executive Vice President Corporate Communications, the purchase process perfectly reflects the Collective Individual paradox at the heart of India's millennials.
"India's millennials see value not just beyond the product but in all stages of the 'highly involved' purchase cycle; from the research and selection to the acquisition and the final experience. The ability to share and validate each step of the process is absolutely critical. The contradiction being that, while today's millennial consumers demand an experience which is genuinely personalised and unique, they also crave endorsement and approval at each stage of the process," says Mr Kant.
Speaking about the event, Ravi Kant, Senior VP - Titan Company, said: "As a company, Titan is getting younger, more contemporary and bolder through all its brands. From its watches, to eyewear and jewellery, the company has become more fashionable, innovative and extremely 'with it'. Collective individualism is the cornerstone of today's youth and it is this youth that forms the core of Titan Company' target group. Through this panel, we like to take inputs and have robust discussions with audiences relevant to the concept – professionals, consumers, media, trend analysts and millennia themselves."

hi everyone. hope everyones doing well. i know its been quite a while since ive been on, but have been very busy getting my life back together. as most of u know my daughter had shaken baby syndrome and she was wrongfully taken from me n i fought like crazy to get her back. well things are going well for us, shes still heathy as can be, no effects from the incedent. shes very musically inclined, has 4 teeth with 2 more comming in, loves food and is far from being a picky eater shell eat anything from tofu to cucumbers, cherrys to toast lol. she calls me "mom mom" also says "hi" and calls her uncle bobby "bob" :). shes obsessed with water, animals, and music and dancing. shes also insanely social, she loves other kids n tolerates them very well. i can go on n on lol. anyway, as it turns out her father did jus sit there n shake her like crazy, he gave her one shake, more like a jerking motion n realized what he was doing n stopped unfortunatly it was hard enough to cause rhe small brain bleed. but it healed on its wn n no other injuries at all and no lasting effects. he got sentanced on wed. hes been taking anger managment, n parenting classes, and started college again taking child development as one of his classes. since hes never been in trouble ever before and stopped what he did when he ealized he lost his cool and made sure she gt medical attention and has used all his free time doing what he can to make sure itll never happen again and trying to fix what he can and truly wants to be apart of her life n support her, the judge ruled he has to do time but it can be done on electric monitoring so he can continue school n work, and were are finally setting up supervised visits for her n him. itll start off once a month and well work our way up. we are also working on family reunification. both mine n his families have been very supportive of both of us, im so glad despite everything that happened were all still very close. and my family agrees they know he didnt mean to hurt her and believe it was a one time incedent n mistake. it was wrong but hes making up for it and hes goin be the dad that wont let her out without being wrapped in bubble wrap now lol. hes extra protective after this incedednt. my case with CWS is goin well. they are looking to close the case on Aug 29th :) anyway jus wanted to give an update and sy im back. going to go look at the recent posts n see how all ur lil ones are doin :)

What she said!
Two hearts that beat as one
And the fact that he wouldn't harm a fly and would take a spider carefully outside instead of killing it is just stupid. I'm sorry. Who cares. I kill the shit out of a spider if it's in my house but I would never harm my child. There is NO correlation. But I do see what you were going for.
Your sweet innocent baby was shaken hard enough that she almost died. Died. We aren't talking about CIO vs attachment parenting, cloth diaper vs disposable. This is serious.
I think based on your own history of abuse, it seems like the cycle is even continuing. Look up cycle of abuse and see for yourself. It's continuing with you, and it's probable that it will continue with LO's dad. Please see a counselor for yourself before making any decisions that will affect your daughter.
And I know it's important for you to forgive. But theres no rules that you have to forgive while allowing someone to continue to hurt you.
Please consider, just consider, what some of these ladies are trying to tell you. For yourself. For your baby.
"Mother to Doren - 9/29/98, Dylan - 9/26/00, and Piper - 10/6/11."
Made it to Gold boobies (.Y.) and now I'm done!
Sorry, I didn't see one post where someone suggested they were perfect or indicated they were "better" than this Mom. I see a lot of Mom's who don't want to see this baby back with her abuser...if that's getting up on a high horse...then that's where we are...all of us. And I wish we could bring the baby with us up here where its safe.

Can you honestly say that you would ever be able to look him in the eye again without wanting to spot in his face? No matter how sorry he claimed to be? Because I seriously won't believe you.

New nForce linux driver 1.0-0261
Is this suppose to fix the problem with non-nVidia cards under Linux?
Yes it does. I have gotten glxgears running on my 9700Pro a7n8x. Unfortunatly I have not been able to get DRI working. I get the following error in the XFree log;
drmOpenDevice: open result is 6, (OK)
drmGetBusid returned ''
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] drmSetBusid failed (6, PCI:2:0:0), Permission denied
(EE) fglrx(0): DRIScreenInit failed!
(WW) fglrx(0): DRI initialization failed!
I belive this happens as a result of compiling the kernel with a different GCC than the ATI drivers. Damn. If I figure it out I'll post a solution here.
OK. I figured out that one. It was because of some earlier mucking about in the fglrx makefiles trying to get the old drivers to work. I now have DRI enabled, or so my XFree log says.
But as soon as I open glxgears, or even run fglrxinfo, X freezes. I can still move the mouse, and ssh in, but any attempt to kill the runaway process totally locks up the box. This might not be the answer we're looking for.
What Linux distro are you using? Did you have to recompile your kernel?
Hi jericho4.0 :
Look here :
or here :
I think you will find everythings you need to fix your problem, without using nvidia drivers.
oh great
What the heck happened? With the old 256 driver at least the network would function, now the ethernet port cant even get an address and the sound STILL doesnt work on spdf. Seriously, does nvidia have some sort of axe to grind with nforce users not using windows? When you download and install this RPM file thats listed for suse 8.2, things should just plain WORK. Why is this like pulling teeth? Sorry to rant but all this time gone by and no results. Perhaps a p4 platform would be a better choice next time but damn it.........
I did it!!
I downloaded the 2.4.20 kernel. I applied the patch found in the 'nvgart' directory from the driver in Midnight Watchers original post. This patch would not apply cleanly to the 2.4.21 kernel. I then used the standard fglrx driver from ATI. I didn't need to use nonolk's modified source. ~6000 fps in glxgears.
Good luck Midnight, thanks nonolk! I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if I can help out.
Well, now I don't have the nforce2 IDE support. Does anyone know of a patch I can apply to 2.4.20 to get it? I don't want to apply all the ac patches because that will probably break the agpgart.
if you remove the line + agp_bridge.num_of_masks = 1; from the diff it will compile against 2.4.21.
But i didn't get the nvaudio module to work with the new kernel :(
Use the i810_audio from the kernel itself.
That works very well on my A7N8X
Thanks for the tip but I guess the spdif output doesn't work with the kernel modulel or am I wrong ?
Since I have my speakers connect via a spdif cable I need the output :(
I don't know - I just regular $10.00 pc speakers ...
