DENVER—When Howard McKew set out for ASHRAE's 2012 Annual Conference, he expected the highlights to include visiting his son and receiving a Distinguished Service Award. He didn't expect to meet his future wife along the way.
McKew, an ASHRAE Fellow and Life Member, is vice chair of TC 9.1, Large Building Air-Conditioning Systems and a voting member of Task Group 2-HVAC Security.
On June 20, 2012, he flew from his home in Manchester, N.H., to San Antonio, changing planes in Tampa, Fla. His seatmate was Lynn Tamburro of Greenville S.C.
"Those who know me also know that I don't talk to anyone when I fly," he said. "I have it planned so that I can read all those HVAC articles I've stored up until the plane hits 10,000 feet. At that point I fire up my computer and do my work undisturbed—no phone calls, no interruptions. I once sat next to actress Nicole Kidman and never spoke to her, so sitting next to Lynn was not going to be any different."
He turned out to be wrong.
"Lynn is a very talkative person and was talking to whoever would listen to her about her life, her divorce and her children," he said. "For some reason I decided to shut off my computer and talk to her…well, listen to her, since she does all the talking. It turns out we have a lot in common beginning with the same birthday (the date Elvis died) but 10 years apart. She loves to cook, and I had started to become a better cook. She damaged her rotator cuff weight lifting and I was recovering from a similar but less serious rotator cuff injury from weight lifting. She is also very active walking, hiking and biking as I have been since my teenage years. The only difference we seemed to have is that she grew up on the West Coast in California (Lynn has lived in South Carolina for the past 22 years) and I grew up on the East Coast in Massachusetts."
As they got off the plane in San Antonio, McKew gave Tamburro his business card and asked her to send him a few recipes. In return, she gave him her phone number and email address, clarifying she would not send him the recipes unless he contacted her first.
On McKew's return trip to San Antonio from visiting his son in Fort Hood on June 23, he called Tamburro.
"We met for coffee at Starbucks," he said. "I'm a Dunkin Donut coffee drinker so you can see I was compromising again. I left Lynn that day, almost late to receive the Distinguished Service Award from ASHRAE."
The two agreed they would continue to talk, which they did on a daily basis. In September, he invited Tamburro to visit New Hampshire.
"This liaison continued until I asked her to marry me on Valentine's Day 2013," he said. "I picked the day we would get married, which would require us to fly to San Antonio on June 20, one year from the day we met."
So in June 2013, McKew and Tamburro were married in San Antonio at the home of family friends. They then honeymooned at the 2013 Annual Conference in Denver.
While his planning shows his romantic side, his practical engineering side comes through with his joking observation, "A side note is that I'm hoping to write off my marriage to business since we did travel to ASHRAE."
ASHRAE advances the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world. With more than 53,000 members from over 132 nations, ASHRAE is a diverse organization representing building system design and industrial processes professionals around the world.

Scientists say climate change could increase pests and weeds, lengthen growing seasons and turn dry soil to dust. Farmers are already on the offensive, adopting no-till cropping methods to conserve water and experimenting with different seeds. And scientists are using a technique called gene silencing to develop new crops--without tinkering with the plants' DNA.

Somehow, a wooden chopstick found it's way to the chopper (a small disposal in your dishwasher), and broke the (plastic) rotor. Food was no longer being finely chopped, and was unable to pass through a filter screen. This reduced water pressure, and prevented effective operation of the upper spray arm. It is not difficult to get to the chopper to make the repair. Refer to the guide taped to the backside of the floor panel. Note that the chopper can be accessed through the bottom of the tub itself. Remove the spray tube from the wash module manifold, then twist the manifold CCW to release it. Then, remove attaching screws to the screen, foreign object protector and inlet protector to reach the chopper assembly. I replaced the broken chopper and reversed procedure.

Dream House in Santa Barbara
The perfect family rental!
husband is a chef and the kitchen is superior, the veranda was hard to leave, we all took bike rides on the furnished beach cruisers and the beds had beautiful linens! The decor was superb and the entire house just
perfectly put together - were very sad to leave - LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!
Wish we could do all over again!
Since that trip was such a hit with the family, we have decided to make it an annual Christmas gift to our kids. Although our destination this time is Sonoma, I am keeping my fingers crossed that our next VRBO is as amazing as this one was.
Thank you, Jill and Kelly - we hope to be back soon! Happy New Year!
Great family/friends residence
Dream vacation house
St Barbara Haven
The house was all as described and the photos were accurate and reflected the space well, unlike our experience in the first house of our holiday in San Francisco which was exactly the opposite.
The furnishings are tasteful, the kitchen spacious and well equipped, the bedrooms comfortable and quiet and the bathrooms provided lots of hot water and towels (and were beautifully tiled!)
We loved sitting out on the deck in the evenings and found a good Mexican takeaway less than 10 minutes away which meant we could relax with our food in our home space.
The house was so close to the beach and it was a pleasure to take myself out for an early morning run along the very beautiful promenade! Having beach towels provided made beach trips easy...
Local shops and eateries are all within walking distance and we tried a number of the options recommended by Jill and can endorse those choices.
Having a washing machine and dryer was great and the option for the bikes - which I used most days - was wonderful and topped off the experience.
We all loved Santa Barbara and are so glad we opted to travel an extra two hours to stay here rather than the LA option our travel agent first suggested. The old Mission is beautiful, the backdrop of the mountains stunning and the vintage clothes shops fun!
We had a lovely stay - and I would definitely return.
From the Owner
"West Beach is such a happy place. This home is in a vibrant vacation destination, but tucked back just enough to provide a private, comfortable escape."
Activity and Interests
Just a half block to the beach. The picturesque Santa Barbara Harbor is just 2 blocks away. Go whale watching, kayaking, or sail to the Channel Islands. A short walk to Stearn's Wharf takes you to the Aquarium, fine restaurants, pier fishing, boat tours, and friendly pelicans.
Walk to State Street. Shop, dine, sample world-class wines, visit the theater, take in the architecture.

Medvedev, Merkel Will Discuss Political Support for Nord Stream Project
MOSCOW. Oct 1 (Interfax) – Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and German Chancellor Angela Merkel will compare approaches to the Nord Stream project.
A Kremlin source has told Interfax that matters related to political support and management of the project to build the Nord Stream gas pipeline, which is meant to guarantee reliable long-term energy supplies to Europe, will be discussed at the upcoming top- level Russian-German discussions.
"Multifaceted economic ties remain the foundation of the entire set of Russian-German cooperation," he said.
"The dynamics of trade turnover with Germany – our key foreign trade partner – remains high. The indicators for the first 8 months of this year give hope to expect that the volume of mutual trade for 2008 will reach a new record high level exceeding $60 billion," the source said.
The high-level strategic working will hold a regular meeting ahead of the summit and "intends to concentrate on promoting pilot projects in energy, transportation, aerospace and automotive industries, agricultural machine-building, utilities, health protection, training for the public and corporate sectors, and skill improvement of engineering personnel," the source said.

Our cats LOVE these
posted 6 years ago
I am convinced that our cats crave any treats that look like this... The crunchy outer pillow with the soft insides. They hear the bag & come running. In fact, they have begun to start begging when they hear anything that sounds like the treat bag too... potato chips, crumbled paper.
I think every cat is different though so it's best to try new treats when you can get them cheap.
Pros: Our cats love them
Cons: They cannot get enough

My cat loves these. The way she asks for them is her endorsement on taste.
The crunchy, soft texture seems to be part of the attraction and I like the ingredients.
Cost is reasonable for treats, I would recommend to anyone.
Pros: Ingredient, texture, taste
Cons: None

I give these to my cat occasionally. He seems to really like them, but I still don't like all of the ingredients that are included.
Pros: cats (and dogs) like them
Cons: Not as many chemicals as the regular line

This morning I received an email from a dPS reader who was heading to New York for the weekend ahead. She was seeking a little inspiration and advice on taking cityscape shots. I pointed her to some posts in our archives but thought it might be fun to find some great cityscape images on Flickr too. Of course there's so many different approaches to photographing a city – but here's some of what caught my eye.
While not every shot will be to everyone's tastes my hope is that this city skyline image collection might inspire some photographic explorations of the cities we live in and travel to.

An average Customer Service Agent in the United States can expect to take home roughly $12.46 per hour. Total cash compensation to Customer Service Agents bottoms out near $20K and approaches $45K on the high end; the biggest paychecks include approximately $2K from bonuses and almost $4K from profit sharing. While the particular city and experience level impact pay for this group, the company is the most influential factor. The majority of workers are highly satisfied with their job. Health benefits are not enjoyed by everyone in this line of work, and just under a third lack any coverage at all. Medical benefits are reported by a majority and dental coverage is claimed by slightly more than half. Men are in the minority of survey respondents, with female Customer Service Agents making up 74 percent. This report is based on responses to the PayScale salary survey.

Customer service agents work in many types of private businesses, including at retail, insurance, and travel establishments. Customer service agents spend most of their time working with customers and clients to develop and strengthen business-customer relationships. These relationships are vital to the growth and prosperity of companies, as frustrated customers may not return for future business and the company could develop a bad reputation for poor customer care.Read More...
Customer service agents typically work in offices during typical business hours; this is especially true for agents in companies that have other businesses and offices as their primary clientele. Customer service agents in these positions often engage with clients over the phone, attempting to establish new contracts and building rapport with other businesses.
Customer service agents who work with individual customers may work a wide variety of orders; these agents respond to customer questions in areas such as issues with orders or products. Often, these inquiries are done over the phone, but many customer-agent interactions occur in stores.
Depending on the type of business, education requirements for a customer service agent may be anywhere from a high school diploma to a college experience and field-relevant licensing, such as a property license for customer service agents in an insurance company. Customer service agents quite often spend a lot of their time on computers, which makes basic computer skills an important qualification. Perhaps the most necessary skill, is the ability to communicate with customers in a friendly, professional, and engaging way.
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
Customer Service Agents might see a strong upturn in salary after transitioning into upper-level roles such as Customer Service Supervisor, a seemingly popular career choice. People currently working in the latter position report a noticeably higher median income of $37K per year.
Known for taking on a considerable number of Customer Service Agents, Delta Air Lines Inc, US Airways Group, Inc., Federal Express Corporation (FedEx), Farmers Insurance Group, and Best Buy are leading firms in the industry. Those at United Airlines, Inc. can expect to make the most, with the company offering a median salary of $44K. Customer Service Agents will also find cushy salaries at Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) (+$37K), Farmers Insurance Group (+$34K), and Delta Air Lines Inc (+$32K).
Employees at US Airways Group, Inc., State Farm Insurance Company, and Delta Air Lines Inc can also expect below-average earnings of $27K, $29K, and $32K.
Customer Service Agents report using a wide range of professional skills. Lucky workers who know Customer Relationship Management can expect a significant pay bump, scoring salaries 27 percent above average. Problem Solving and Insurance are also correlated to pay that is above average, with increases between 12 percent and 27 percent. For most people, competency in Customer Relations indicates knowledge of Sales and Insurance.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many Customer Service Agents, extensive experience does not lead to significantly more money. Workers in their first five years can expect to earn $26K, but people who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably bigger sum of $30K. Customer Service Agents bring in $33K after working for 10 to 20 years. Ultimately, more time spent in the workforce does seem to translate to bigger paychecks; seasoned veterans with more than 20 years of experience report a median income of $38K.
For Customer Service Agents, busy San Francisco offers a higher-than-average pay rate, 41 percent above the national average.

(DOM) and Simple API for XML (SAX). The idea is to parse the whole document and construct a complete document tree XML processing can incur significant run-time in memory before it returns control to the client. This cannot overhead in XML-based infra structural middleware such as be achieved through either by DOM nor by SAX. So StAX is Web service application servers [4]. XML document is the introduced to achieve the idea. StAX does not suffer from the general tree structure and the XML processing task as the drawbacks faced while using DOM and SAX. A parser is a extension from the parallel tree traversal algorithm for the computer program or a component of a program that classic discrete optimization problems.

Processing several XML discrete optimization problems. Unlike the Simple API for documents simultaneously can be a significant challenge XML (SAX), StAX offers an API for writing XML [2]. We are using the Java to develop the parser like JDOM, documents. To be precise, it offers two APIs: a low-level, SAX, STAX and open source software.

PARSING ANALYSIS XML stands for the Extensible Markup Language. It is a Markup language for documents, Nowadays XML is a tool A parser is a computer program or a component of a to develop and likely to become a much more common tool program that analyses the grammatical structure of an input for sharing data and store. XML can communicate with respect to a given formal grammar in a process known structured information to other users [1]. In other words, if a as parsing. Typically, a parser transforms some input text group of users agree to implement the same kinds of tags to into a data structure that can be processed easily, e.g. for describe a certain kind of information, XML applications semantic checking, code generation or to help can assist these users in communicating their information in understanding the input. an more robust and efficient manner.

It is thus much for an object, using polymorphism to match the method cleaner and much simpler than DOM. Most developers find name to the handler code, and using encapsulation to JDOM to be far more intuitive and easy to use than DOM. manage state in the handler between callbacks. This overall It's not that JDOM will enable you to do anything you can't model of event-based programming is known as a push do with DOM. However, writing the same program with model and has a reputation for being difficult for many JDOM will normally take you less time and have fewer programmers to master. Most models that are considered bugs when finished, simply because of the greater easier to program, however, require random access to the intuitiveness of the API. In many ways, JDOM is to DOM document, and thus can lead to inefficiencies, so SAX has as Java is to C++, a much improved, incompatible the reputation for being the most efficient standard way to replacement for the earlier more complex technology. process XML, if far from the easiest. JDOM is an open source, tree-based, pure Java API for parsing, creating, manipulating, and serializing XML C. StAX documents. JDOM was invented by Brett McLaughlin and Streaming API for XML (StAX) is an application Jason Hunter in the spring of 2000. programming interface (API) to read and write XML documents, originating from the Java programming JDOM can build a new XML tree in memory. Data for language community. Traditionally, XML APIs are either: the tree can come from a non-XML source like a database, from literals in the Java program, or from calculations as in Tree based - the entire document is read into memory many of the Fibonacci number examples in this book. When as a tree structure for random access by the calling creating new XML documents from scratch (rather than application reading them from a parser), JDOM checks all the data for well-formed. For example, unlike many DOM Event based - the application registers to receive events implementations, JDOM does not allow programs to create as entities are encountered within the source document. comments whose data includes the double hyphen -- or Streaming APIs for XML (StAX) which is a elements and attributes whose namespace mapping conflict standardized Java based API for pull-parsing XML. StAX in impossible ways. has two basic functions: to allow users to read and write Once a document has been loaded into memory, whether XML as efficiently as possible and be easy to use (cursor by creating it from scratch or by parsing it from a stream, API), and be easy to extend and allow for easy pipelining JDOM can modify the document. A JDOM tree is fully (event iterator API). Pull parsing differs from the traditional read-write. All parts of the tree can be moved, deleted, and SAX based iteration and DOM based tree model, in that it is added to, subject to the usual restrictions of XML. optimized for speed and performance. StAX is often referred to as "pull parsing." The developer uses a simple B. SAX iterator based API to "pull" the next XML construct in the SAX stands for Simple API for XML. SAX parsing is document. However, the common streaming APIs like SAX unidirectional; previously parsed data cannot be re-read are all push APIs. They feed the content of the document to without starting the parsing operation again. The SAX the application as soon as they see it, whether the standard currently is at version 2.0.

Memory used by a SAX parses is Pull APIs are a more comfortable alternative for relatively low. Due to the event nature of SAX, the parsing streaming processing of XML. A pull API is based around is faster of an XML document. SAX usually follows Push- the more familiar iterator design pattern rather than the less based parsing, in which case, the Parser will scan the XML well-known observer design pattern. In a pull API, the Document from top to bottom and whenever it founds some client program asks the parser for the next piece of node (like start node, end node, text-node etc.) it will push information rather than the parser telling the client program notifications to the Application in the form of Events.

This is probably my only major criticism of StAX. Integer type codes and big switch statements are relics of procedural thinking. Object oriented programs should be based around classes, inheritance hierarchies, and polymorphism instead. StAX is a fast, potentially extremely fast, straight- forward, memory-thrifty way to loading data from an XML document the structure of which is well known in advance. State management is much simpler in StAX than in SAX, so if you find that the SAX logic is just getting way too complex to follow or debug, then StAX is well worth FIG.1.

By default, a SAX parser starts parsing at the not functional in the current reference implementation, but beginning of a document and continues until the end.

Processing several XML documents simultaneously can be a significant challenge. SAX parsers, for example, deliver the parsing events through callbacks to the client application. Because the SAX parser controls this process, the client application does not really have a chance to synchronize the different input FIG.2. C ONVERT THE XML INTO JAVA OBJECT MODEL sources.

From the PublisherFrom the reviews:
"Spread out over 11 chapters, this is a collection of 319 problems in what used to be called Advanced Calculus. … The authors see their book primarily as an aid to undergraduates … but I view it as being helpful to teachers in supplementing their courses or in preparing exams. … However, kept on a course reserve shelf of an academic library, the book under review might entice and benefit the more dedicated student. It certainly merits the attention of instructors of elementary analysis." (Henry Ricardo, The Mathematical Association of America, June, 2010)
"A very readable collection of interesting problems of varying levels of difficulty. It is intended to build a bridge between ordinary high school or undergraduate exercises and more difficult and abstract concepts or problems. The book is so delightfully written that anyone who simply likes working on challenging problems could read it independently. … recommends this book to all students curious about elementary real analysis and how to learn it through solving problems. … a welcome resource for organizing their activities at a good level."

The Christmas spirit was palpable in downtown Bakersfield on Thursday night, and it was barely dampened by the rain that drizzled down as marching bands roared, decorated trucks rolled and people paraded down the street.
"I wish the weather was better, but the kids love it," said Debbie Armenta, who was holding her 3-year-old daughter Amiyah.
The 30th annual Bakersfield Christmas Parade looped around downtown streets Thursday night to usher in Christmas with the theme of "An American Christmas."
Junior high and high school marching bands played renditions of "Jingle Bells." Various school districts dressed their buses up with decorations of Frosty the Snowman, Disney characters or Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. The Kern County and Bakersfield fire department strung Christmas lights from their trucks. And of course, there was Santa Claus.
Armenta and her family were at the parade for the first time. Much like other spectators, the family got in the Christmas spirit with Santa hats. Amiyah was in her Minnie Mouse Santa hat, a Christmas present from Disneyland.
Armenta said she enjoyed the marching bands the most, calling out Stockdale High School's as particularly entertaining.
As the Bike Bakersfield bunch road by on their bicycles, some in Santa hats, some with antlers and others with tiny trees in their baskets, Armenta commented, "That's cute."
When the Coca-Cola polar bear dressed as Santa walked by, children went wild. Some families lined up to snap a picture with the bear.
Seven-year-old Michael Rubio was one of the children who made sure to get a picture with the polar bear. A family friend, Alice Escobedo, said Michael's family has been coming to the parade since he was born. But this was the first time Michael was excited enough to stay awake.
When asked if he was excited to see Santa later in the night, Michael got nervous and said, "I didn't mail a letter to Santa." But his mother, Frances Rubio, reminded him he had, adding that he was on Santa's "Nice" list.
Helena Young and Geoffrey Louder made their way to the Christmas parade with their four children for the first time this year. They just moved from a small town in Colorado, though they previously lived in Bakersfield in 2005 and 2006.
But even though they were new to the Bakersfield parade, they went to parades in Colorado. Bakersfield's was better, they said. One reason was larger floats, Louder said.
"I like the marching bands, the kids like Santa, and we all like the floats," Young said.
Kayley Price said she was excited to see her 4-year-old son Levi make his debut in the parade. He was in the float with his school, Bethel Christian School.
"Mom, I'm super duper excited," Price said Levi told her before the parade.
This is Price's family's third time at the parade. They have made a tradition out of getting a pizza at Jerry's Pizza and Pub and eating it while watching the parade.
"I think it's fun for the kids to see the lights and the people on horses," Price said, "and to come out as a community."

Motorola Moto G ( 2015)
The big screen, 4G LTE data speeds and low price make the Motorola Moto G a solid choice both for people who want to watch movies on the move and for smartphone newbies.
Pricing not available
Motorola Moto E ( 2015, black)
The Moto E delivers in enough of the right areas to make it a fantastic option for a tight budget.
Motorola Droid Turbo ( 64GB, black ballistic nylon)
Even with its hefty design, the Motorola Droid Turbo's robust battery, powerful processor and vivid display put it on the short list for Verizon customers.
Motorola Moto X ( 2nd Generation, Black Resin)
The Motorola Moto X hits all the right notes, delivering stock Android inside a powerful high-end handset that you can customize yourself.
Motorola Moto G
Motorola's new Moto G exemplifies the budget Android phone, but if you prefer your data LTE-flavored, it's best to wait for that model.
Motorola Moto E ( black)
The Motorola Moto E is unquestionably cheap and has a set of specs that makes it more than capable of handling your basic everyday tasks. Its price, however, isn't much lower than the Moto G, which has a better camera, more powerful processor, improved screen and longer battery life. Unless you're shopping on a very tight budget, the Moto G is still the best value phone around.
Motorola Moto G Google Play Edition
If you yearn for pure Android KitKat on the cheap, the Moto G Google Play Edition is worth the price, but power users should look elsewhere.
Motorola Moto G Global GSM ( Black)
You can't beat the price of the Moto G, but the more expensive and more powerful Nexus 5 remains your shrewdest unlocked Android option.
Motorola Droid Maxx
If you can get past its steep price, the massive-screened Motorola Droid Maxx is currently Verizon's best Android smartphone.
Motorola Droid Ultra
Unless you want the thinnest smartphone on the block, the more powerful HTC One and Droid Maxx are better buys.

Cat owners need patience to train cats to use the toilet instead of a litter box, even with training kits such as Litter Kwitter. Felines are creatures of habit that instinctively bury their waste to hide from predators, which makes litter boxes feel natural, experts say. Some cats likely can't be trained, especially if they have bad toilet experiences early on, says animal behaviorist Steve Duno.

Almost a month ago, on December 16, 2011, California Republican Congressman Darrel Issa introduced the "Research Works Act" which would kill government-assisted open-access journals. As PJ said before, journals (especially the closed private ones) are the dinosaurs of academia and as Patricia Hill Collins later noted, (more…)

BLACKFOOT — When a potential customer whizzed past Trestlewood's yard adjacent to Interstate 15, he spied what he thought were railroad ties.
When Alice Cannon, a founder of the company with her husband John, tried to tell that customer that Trestlewood didn't carry or sell railroad ties, he asked to speak to a man.
Bob Cannon, Alice's son and one of the owners, also told him that much of the company's inventory is reclaimed railroad trestles.
"We started taking down a railroad trestle across the Great Salt Lake in 1993," Bob said of the company's beginnings.
BLACKFOOT — The trial of Lawrence James Crow, age 24, is set for Tuesday, Jan. 24, when Crow will face two felony counts. Count one is attempted murder and count two is domestic battery inflicting traumatic injury.
A motion on this case was for Friday. Instead, a five-hour criminal mediation took place under the direction of Sixth District Judge Robert Naftz from Pocatello.
BLACKFOOT – At 91 years old, Dallas Satterfield is still just one of the boys. Satterfield's friends, who started meeting for coffee in the 70's, gave him a birthday surprise him Friday morning by singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" and presenting him with a cane –– which they custom made from a baseball bat to celebrate his life.
The January/February issue of Bingham Magazine is now available. Magazines are available in the Morning News office and at select businesses around Bingham County free of charge.
Here are a few of the articles you will find:
• Shirley Brumfield takes the reigns as the new Chamber of Commerce president this month. Brumfield, along with new members of the Chamber board will be introduced at the President's lunch on Wednesday, Jan. 11.
• You've probably seen him wearing green. Blackfoot's Biggest Fan, Ralph Hulse, is featured in our "Faces in the Crowd" section.
BLACKFOOT — The Bingham County Commissioners approved changes to the commissioner district boundaries Thursday, moving Precinct 4 from Commissioner District 2 to District 3.
The move—required by Idaho Statute—ensures the population in each of the three districts is no more or less than 10 percent of the other two districts based on the 2010 Census.
The change only affects 2,701 people living in Precinct 4, which is the area of Riverton Road west of Blackfoot. Precinct 4 is now part of District 3, which includes nearly all of western Bingham County.
BLACKFOOT — Local Idaho Power employees give back each year to various local non-profit organizations, including the Bingham Crisis Center.
Regional Idaho Power employees donate to an employee community service fund throughout the year. Those funds are then matched by Idaho Power and distributed to various non-profit agencies throughout the region from Pocatello to Salmon. The fund is employee-governed and gives to various organizations providing health and human services to individuals.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Mitt Romney eked out a minuscule 8-vote victory over Rick Santorum in Iowa's Republican presidential caucuses, the state party chairman said early Wednesday, ringing down the curtain on an improbable first act in the campaign to pick a challenger to President Barack Obama in the fall.
Appearing hours after the caucuses had ended, Matt Strawn said Romney had 30,015 votes, to 30,007 for Santorum, whose late surge carried him to a near win.
BLACKFOOT — Shaden Leland Ross Walters was sentenced to probation and
fined $1,355.50 Monday by Bingham County Seventh Judicial Judge Darren
On May 23, 2011, Walters, age 19, and co-defendant Chris Nelson were
charged with burglary. The pair were charged with stealing from Todd
Joseph Jensen.
On Oct. 3, Walters pleaded not guilty to the burglary charge and then
changed his plea to guilty on Nov. 14.
In Walters' plea deal, the prosecuting attorney, the defense attorney
and the pre-sentence investigator agreed that Walters was a good
BLACKFOOT — The Blackfoot City Council unanimously voted to amend the ordinance requiring a majority vote for the election of city council members. Now, only a plurality vote is required.
A majority is still required in mayoral elections and a runoff election will follow if no candidate receives a majority of the vote.
In discussing the proposed changes, newly elected Council President Chris Jensen and Councilman Farrell Cammack both said they favored requiring a plurality vote for election of council members but said the mayor should still be elected by a majority vote.
BLACKFOOT — Bingham County commissioners recommended a public hearing be scheduled in Aberdeen to determine if there is interest to extend the runway at the Aberdeen Municipal Airport.
Airports are required to pass an inspection certification each 10 years, said Nathan Cuvala from T-O Engineers in Boise. His firm was hired to inspect the Aberdeen Municipal Airport. Cuvala presented the idea of extending the runway to the county commissioners in mid-December.

Town in Pangasinan joins zipline craze
BALUNGAO, Pangasinan—Local officials have joined the zipline craze in an effort to put this eastern Pangasinan town on the tourism map.
This town's 600-meter zipline starts from a hilltop, stretches through farms and patches of old trees, and ends at a resort at the foot of Mt. Balungao.
Mayor Philipp Peralta says the adventure project, the second in Pangasinan, will be open on Sept. 8, the Feast of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. A similar facility is operating in Natividad town, also in eastern Pangasinan.
Peralta says zipline riders will go to Balungao Hot and Cold Springs Resort, where they will be fitted with safety gears and ferried to the launching pad below the hill.
The jump-off point offers a view of villages and Balungao, an extinct volcano from which hot and cold water flows.
Riders will also pass above swimming pools surrounded by trees in the resort.
The thrill takes under a minute. "It may be short but when you're suspended in midair, 50 seconds may be a long time," Peralta says.
He says the town bought 16 gears from the United States and wanted to inaugurate the project as soon as possible.
The zipline project aims to complement Balungao Hot and Cold Springs Resort, which has been luring visitors, he says.
The local government has built several pools in the area, each offering varying water temperatures. The hot and warm pools are ideal for soaking in, as one would in a spa, Peralta says.
The resort is accessible from the Balungao town proper through a four-kilometer barangay road.

Blowing things a bit out of proportion. I never said any of that. That you think that's what I was implying hints to me you might be getting defensive. I'm not attacking your work. I'm saying that it doesn't work for me. And if it doesn't work for me, there are probably others (like, I imagine, Grand Nagus) for whom it also doesn't work.

On Monday, May 24, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court granted the Petition for Writ of Certiorari filed by Texas Death Row Inmate Hank Skinner. It's a case to watch, because it means that the High Court will hear Skinner's argument he has a right to pursue a civil claim, not a criminal one, regarding his continuing assertion that he is innocent of the crime for which he has been sentenced to death.
What Hank Skinner's savvy defense attorneys have done is file a civil rights claim which argues that his constitutional rights have been violated because the State of Texas didn't allow him to test evidence that was not tested at trial. He's not arguing this as part of his criminal case (writ of habeas corpus); he's arguing it as a civil matter.

As a fantasy football owner, your number-one goal during your league's draft is to walk away with the best team possible given your particular draft position and the players available
Fantasy Football
Earlier this offseason I took a look at the different types of leagues and options available for fantasy football players interested in the high-stakes landscape. That overview generated a lot
Free Agency? Check. NFL Draft? Check. Rankings from the FFMagicMan? Finally I can say, check.
