Falcon Tutoring Program Benefits Both Tutors, Students
By Ben Jipson
OCT. 30, 2006--While the students in the Falcon Tutor program at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls watch students go to school or visit campus on bright yellow school buses, the tutors also ride the iconic yellow buses each time they travel to and from their tutoring experiences in St. Paul public schools.
Though it's a reminder of the bumpy ride reminiscent of elementary school, there is much more meaning behind it, according to Amanda Moeller, an Americorps VISTA member working on the UWRF campus through the Wisconsin Campus Compact program. "This is important because it signifies to the schools that our UWRF students are there to learn as well," says Moeller.
About 145 UWRF students from College of Education and Professional Studies Professor Jose Vega's multicultural education and professor Michael Miller's educational psychology courses make the trip to the St. Paul once per week working to fulfill a mandatory 25-hour multicultural field experience for their respective classes.
Each tutoring session includes one hour's worth of classroom observation followed by two hours of direct student interaction. The Falcon Tutor program is an example of a service-learning experience.
Students are assigned activities, like keeping a journal or a log, to reflect on their tutoring duties. "Reflection is a critical component of any service-learning program," Moeller said.
Among the schools involved with the Falcon Tutor program are Eastern Heights Elementary, Highwood Hills Elementary, Washington Technology Magnet Middle School, Battle Creek Middle School and Arlington High School, and in St. Paul and surrounding communities.
Students and tutors work together on a wide range of subjects that vary from school to school. For example, students at Washington Technology Magnet Middle School are tutored mostly in math, while students at Highwood Hills are placed in readers-and-writers workshops led by tutors. All of these are areas of emphasis are included in the No Child Left Behind Act. Furthermore, most students have the opportunity to work with tutors in areas with which they need additional assistance.
The educational benefits for both the K-12 and college students are very visible, but the tutoring extends far beyond any textbook or math problem. Kaitlin Webb, an elementary education major from River Falls, is proud that the students look up to her and her and the other tutors. "We serve as a positive role model for them," she says.
Cultural diversity has become one of the premier focal points and mission of the UWRF campus, and the Falcon Tutor program provides a perfect setting for students to familiarize themselves with children of different races and socioeconomic situations.
Michael McCollor, principal of the Washington Technology Magnet Middle School, says the program is a great fit. "The college students--many of whom come from a rural or suburban background--have a chance to get to know students from different backgrounds as students rather than as headlines or statistics."
McCollor notes that 10 percent of students at Washington Technology Magnet Middle School are Caucasian, and almost all come from low-income families and are eligible for free or reduced school lunch prices.
Moeller says diversity can also be brought into lesson plans. "They experience not only a diverse classroom, but also the ways in which teachers incorporate a multicultural curriculum," she says. In return, the tutors provide much-needed tutoring services that would otherwise be unavailable.
Taking part in a community-improving effort provides the Falcon Tutors with real experiences applicable to many areas in life, according to Prof. Miller. "University students have so much to gain through real-time interaction."
From the Falcon Tutors' perspective, tutoring younger students has its pleasant aspects. Matt Loosbrock, a senior from Lindstrom, Minn., echoed this notion. "The most enjoyable aspect is the variety of minds I get to work with," he said.
Webb went further, saying she likes the idea of "helping someone in a positive way that will benefit them for their entire life."
Jayne Ropella, principal of the Eastern Heights Elementary School, said her students get the same satisfaction from the Falcon Tutors. "The students love having the college students in the building."
Learning environments can create challenges for everyone involved, Moeller notes, and the Falcon Tutors have to find ways around these classroom predicaments. Communication is a vital part of teacher-student interaction, and the ability to communicate effectively proves difficult for the students at times.
"I realized how hard it can be to explain a new concept to a student," said Loosbrock about his tutoring experiences. Webb agreed with that problem, but said, "With the first and second grade levels, we don't run into that problem too often."
Praise is evident on all sides of the Falcon Tutor program. Everyone from the public school students, teachers and principals to the professors and UWRF students has voiced their appreciation and satisfaction for such an outstanding program. "Everyone has needs met, and everyone wins," Miller said.
About 150 students from St. Paul public schools will visit the UWRF campus on Nov. 21. Students from Miller's education psychology classes will be facilitating two learning sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, to encourage the younger students to apply for college and also teach them the benefits of a postsecondary education.

This add-on is operated by APPDYNAMICS INC.
Performance profiler and monitor for Node.js
Table of Contents
Nodetime is an add-on for all-round application performance management for Node.js, including server monitoring, database monitoring, transaction, CPU and memory profiling, alerting and more.
Adding performance monitoring and profiling to an application is essential for faster performance problem identification and localization, performance regression prevention, analysis and optimization. Not otherwise available, runtime insights of an application's real-time and historical behaviour give developers the necessary control and visibility.
Nodetime's agent library runs within the Node.js application and securely sends measurements and profiling data to Nodetime's server.
Provisioning the add-on
Nodetime can be attached to a Heroku application via the CLI:
A list of all plans available can be found here.
$ heroku addons:create nodetime -----> Adding nodetime to sharp-mountain-4005... done, v18 (free)
Once Nodetime has been added a
NODETIME_ACCOUNT_KEY setting will be available in the app configuration and will contain the account key used to configure the Nodetime's agent to access the newly provisioned Nodetime service instance. This can be confirmed using the
heroku config:get command.
$ heroku config:get NODETIME_ACCOUNT_KEY 8151325dcdbae9e0ff95f9f9658432dbedfdb209
After installing Nodetime the application should be configured to fully integrate with the add-on.
Using with Node.js
Add the
nodetime package to the
package.json file.
Node.js applications will need to add the following code snippet into the main JavaScript module of your application, e.g.
web.js or
server.js, before all other
require statements.
if(process.env.NODETIME_ACCOUNT_KEY) { require('nodetime').profile({ accountKey: process.env.NODETIME_ACCOUNT_KEY, appName: 'My Application Name' // optional }); }
appName is used to logically differentiate applications, i.e. group dynos of the same process type. In case if Heroku application has several commands defined in the Procfile, e.g. web and worker, it is recommended to use different application names for each of them. Otherwise, the data from different types of processes may be aggregated inconsistently within a single Dashboard.
Monitoring & Logging
In case of problems with the Nodetime agent library, its activity can be observed within the Heroku log-stream by adding debug:true flag to
profile() call beforehand.
$ heroku logs -t | grep 'nodetime'
Local Setup
After provisioning the add-on it's necessary to locally replicate the config vars so your development environment can operate against the service.
Though less portable it's also possible to set local environment variables using
export NODETIME_ACCOUNT_KEY=value.
Use Foreman to configure, run and manage process types specified in your app's Procfile. Foreman reads configuration variables from an .env file. Use the following command to add the NODETIME_ACCOUNT_KEY values retrieved from heroku config to
$ heroku config -s | grep NODETIME_ACCOUNT_KEY >> .env $ more .env
Consider specifying a different
appName in Nodetime's configuration for local, development or staging servers in order to avoid data inconsistency.
For more information about the features available within the Nodetime dashboard please see the docs at nodetime.com/docs.
The Nodetime dashboard allows you to see multiple real-time and historical metrics from your application and databases, profile transactions, CPU usage and memory, and set up threshold alerts.
The dashboard can be accessed via the CLI:
$ heroku addons:open nodetime Opening nodetime for sharp-mountain-4005…
or by visiting the Heroku apps web interface and selecting the application in question. Select Nodetime from the Add-ons menu.
If you don't see any requests and operations in the transaction profiler, even though your application is receiving requests then 1) check if the
profile() call is added before any other
require statements. 2) add debug:true flag to
profile() call and check the logs for possible errors by Nodetime's agent library.
Migrating between plans
Application owners should carefully manage the migration timing to ensure proper application function during the migration process.
Nodetime offers several plans: Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large. All plans have the same functionality, except the maximum number of agents allowed to send data to Nodetime. There is normally one agent per dyno for an application / process type, which uses Nodetime. In cases when Node's cluster module is used, number of agents may be more than one per dyno.
Use the
heroku addons:upgrade command to migrate to a new plan.
$ heroku addons:upgrade nodetime:medium -----> Upgrading nodetime:pro to sharp-mountain-4005... done, v18 ($49/mo) Your plan has been updated to: nodetime:medium
Removing the add-on
Nodetime can be removed via the CLI.
This will destroy all associated data and cannot be undone!
$ heroku addons:destroy nodetime -----> Removing nodetime from sharp-mountain-4005... done, v20 (free)
All Nodetime support and runtime issues should be submitted via one of the Heroku Support channels. Any non-support related issues or product feedback is welcome at Nodetime Support.

Your feedback has been sent to the Dev Center team. Thank you.

1//Deutsche Welle/DW-World.de, Germany
Germany takes over the leadership of the G8 presidency next year and says it wants to refocus the group on problems facing of the global economy. When Group of Eight (G8) leaders gather in the exclusive Baltic seaside resort of Heiligendamm in northeast Germany next June, the host nation will not be seeking to imitate the pop glamour that accompanied the Gleneagles summit during the British G8 presidency in 2005. "The British have a knack for that sort of thing," said Bernd Pfaffenbach, Germany's G8 organizer, said recently. For Germany, which assumes the G8 presidency for one year in January, what is important is the lasting change that such summits can achieve. "We want more to go back to the roots of the World Economic Summit as it was previously known," added Pfaffenbach. "We're concerned with the problems of the global economy." ... And Africa will again top the agenda this time around. But Berlin wants to move on from the multi-billion-dollar debt relief agreed in Gleneagles and instead urge African countries to take a more hands-on approach, fighting corruption and pushing for more democracy so as to create better conditions for foreign investment. ... Energy, too, will be on the agenda, with Berlin looking to make progress on drawing up a successor agreement to the Kyoto Protocol on climate protection, which runs out in 2012. Another key issue will be Germany's campaign for greater transparency on the worldwide financial and capital markets.
Why SMU and Why a Library? Why Not a Memorial? -- Ms. Smith Goes To Washington
Why not spend that money on a memorial of the names of all of those who have died around the world and here in the US since Bush was put into the White House? Yes, after reading about the protests, I saw a headline in the Dallas Morning News that said something to the effect of how lucky they were to have this library. Now we know this is money under the table talking ... that's been an old Texas way of doing business for years.

John R. Bomar: The Invisible Gorilla in Iraq -- A BuzzFlash Reader Contribution
by John R. Bomar, as sent to The Diane Rehm Show
I read your Dec. 14th show transcript and I send you this in the off hours of your show in hopes you receive it and have time for reflection.
Lao Tzu said, "The best general conquers first the mind of his enemy." I ask you, who is our enemy in Iraq, and why is he (or she) our enemy?
Our "enemy" now is the Iraqi people by majority (60%) who support attacks on American forces and the 80% who want us to leave now. They have become our enemy because of the perception that we are attempting to establish Iraq as a client state of the United States, a colony if you will, to sustain permanent control over their oil reserves. This is also the common view on the Arab street, and probably the majority of world opinion as well. Heck, even a majority of Americans may now feel the same.
John R. Hall: An Open Letter to Congressman Dennis Kucinich -- A BuzzFlash Reader Contribution
by John R. Hall
Re: The Borah/Kucinich Resolution
Dear Dennis,
I am writing to you because you are the only member of the U.S. Congress for whom I have complete respect. You were the only 2004 presidential candidate with enough vision to steer our country out of its eternal quagmire. And now you are a brave and lonely voice, calling for the de-funding of the Iraq Fiasco. Of course the corporate media and your corporate pawn colleagues are doing their best to ignore you completely. After all, you're suggesting that all the death and destruction ordered by the president and authorized by congress was a mistake. That as many as a million lives have been lost needlessly. That a half trillion dollars have been flushed down the toilet. The truth hurts.

Subject: Even Florida 62-yr-old MD GOP, freaked-out by fascist Bush Inc
Saw this on BartCop and thought it was very well written, and absolutely spot on, esp coming from a Republican male.
Dear BartCop:
I am a 62 year old physician in West Palm Beach, Florida, and I'm a fiscal and political conservative. I find it remarkable that our current conservative republican president is fronting for a government that looks a lot like an autocratic fascist regime. I know that reasonable people may disagree, yet under the examination of facts and in light of the consistency of his job performance everything about Mr. Bush is unreasonable.

Barack Obama: Escalation Is Not the Answer 12/28Written by BuzzFlash
As the New Year approaches, we are told that the President is considering the deployment of tens of thousands of additional troops to Iraq in the desperate hope of subduing the burgeoning civil war there.
This is a chilling prospect that threatens to compound the tragic mistakes he has already made over the last four years.
In 2002, I strongly opposed the invasion of Iraq because I felt it was an ill-conceived venture which I warned would "require a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undermined cost, with undetermined consequences." I said then that an invasion without strong international support could drain our military, distract us from the war with al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and further destabilize the Middle East.

1//The Independent, UK
Smokers, people with alcohol problems and the obese could be denied priority treatment on the NHS if they do not try to change their lifestyle. The Cabinet is discussing the controversial idea as part of a drive by Tony Blair to secure his domestic political legacy by pushing through a final round of public service reforms before he departs next year. Ministers will confront a panel of 100 ordinary people with some of the "tough choices" facing the Government under a consultation exercise giving the public a direct say in the new policies. One question will be whether people whose lifestyle makes them ill should get the same priority as other patients. This would mean changing NHS guidelines saying that people should not be discriminated against "even if their illnesses are to some extent self-inflicted". ... Downing Street sources said no decisions had been taken on whether to change the guidelines and stressed that the public would be asked their views on the issue first. The suggestion is bound to provoke criticism. Forest, the pro-smoking group, has claimed that some smokers have already suffered discrimination. It argues that tobacco revenues, which bring in £7bn a year for the Government, dwarf the cost of smoking-related illness.

We found Lakeland by accident when we had to get our siding project done in a hurry; Greg who we worked with was more than happy to get us taken care of in the short time we had to get the job done. Steve did a great job handling our product with care when he delivered it, earlier than expected, what a great surprise that was. We chose the stacked stone panels; they were reasonably priced and fit the budget. I have to tell you this product ROCKS!!!(no pun intended) it is easy to work with, handled well in the January weather, granted it was in the 30's and low 40's that week, none the less it is easy to cut, and yes I was able to do it, place and interlock the pieces to secure them, it looks AMAZING!!! I definitely recommend Lakeland and this product, Thanks Greg for all you did!!!

Exploring Post Earthquake Reconstruction: 2013 AIM Competition Awards Announced
Architects in Mission (AIM) recently announced the winners for their 2013 competition with the topic, Post Earthquake Reconstruction, Ya'an Sichuan – Rebuild Panda's Hometown from the Earthquake. The Ya'an Earthquake occurred at 08:02 Beijing Time on the 20th April 2013. The epicenter was located in Lushan County, Ya'an, Sichuan, about 116km (or 72 miles) from Chengdu (along the Longmenshan Fault) in the same province that was hit heavily by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. For this year's competition, AIM asked participants to pay particular attention to the master planning of the Snow Mountain Village, whilst developing new business models to encourage economic growth for local villagers. See the four winning entries after the break.
Yading Cliff Building Competition Entry / ELEV
Located on a cliff at an altitude of 4100 meters high near Yading Village in China, the proposal for the Yading Cliff Building by ELEV (Elevation Workshop) was inspired by the terrain of the cliff itself. The local mountain has had landslides in the past. As nature formed the mountains in the first place, it also created the imperfections. The architects wanted to use our man-made construction to fill the remaining void. More images and architects' description after the break.

"the shipping was really quick product is great sturdy will work for many years of our use.fantastic price. We bought the cases for them too and they seem very durable."
"Very happy with purchase."
"Allows my 2 12" DO's on one table, or stacked leaving lots of extra space for whatever else I want to put on the table. I.E., lid lifter, spoon. Can easily support 4 12" DO's stacked two high to cook for a large group and save some on coals. Cleans up well with damp cloth while still warm to dry itself without rusting. Take off the wind screen and let it cool in less than 8 minutes - while getting other things packed. Less than 3 minutes if its cold and wind is blowing. I do wonder if a two burner stove would work as well, without the burners and with an iron floor layed over the burners to hold the DO's."
"Love not bending over while cooking with multiple dutch ovens"
"Exactly what I wanted. Very pleased with purchase and delivery."
"The Lodge Dutch Oven Table is just the right height and size, whether I'm cooking in the back yard or in competition and it's also sturdy enough to handle multiple ovens stacked on top of each other. The 12" windscreen allows me to cook in various weather conditions and I especially like the braces that lock the legs in place."
"It makes cooking on the patio with a dutch oven easier and fun. KaTom was the best place to buy."
"I do a lot of dutch oven cooking at camping events. This will be my 2nd table - because I need more space. Very sturdy, nice working height. Love the wind screen and adjustable legs. I can stack a number of dutch ovens and it sits solid. Love this table!"

Thanks for the report!
I can so identify with the lost credit card & keys, been there, done that, didn't get the t-shirt...couldn't pay for it because I lost the credit card, remember?
What I finally trained myself to do is develop a ritual when riding. Keys ALWAYS go back in this pocket, CC goes immediately back in the wallet after taken from the gas pump, wallet immediately goes back in the same pocket every time, removed gloves are always put by speedo so I don't ride off and leave them (a buddy lost 3 pair of gloves between WA and Sturgis one year), sunglasses go in shirt pocket, etc., etc. I am incredibly unfocused in the best of circumstances, made worse by the giddiness The Road, so I HAVE to develop habits to have any hope of survival. Plus I've found stash places on the bike for spare keys, etc.
Now, on with the ride!

Mikkey Halsted - Weak Mutha F**kaz
Artist: Mikkey Halsted
Producer: Don Cannon
Album: Castro
Avg Rating: 2.3 ( 10 votes )
Chi-town native Mikkey Halstead breaks back onto The DJBooth with his robust rhymebook, brushing off haters with his new single, Weak Mutha F**kaz. Producer Don Cannon lays the foundation by sampling a classic quote from Puff, "Weak mother f**kaz just wanna bring you down," which Mikkey makes his new motto. Halsted exposes no weaknesses on the record, rattling off reasons why the rats don't make it and only the strong survive. Closing out the second verse by saying, "Never felt your pain, but wanna wear your chain, they wanna reap your harvest without enduring the rain", it's evident Mikkey has broken away from the belly of the beast and into a life where jealous leeches continue to bite his success. Prepare yourself for an August 8 release of his forthcoming album, Castro, executive produced by Don Cannon and No I.D..

Stonington — Police have identified the man who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Saturday night following an armed standoff with them on White Rock Road as Paul Menard, 52, of 16 Palmer St. in Pawcatuck.
Police responded to what appeared to be a one-car accident on White Rock Road at 7:20 p.m., according to police Capt. Jerry Desmond. A witness had reported that a man involved in the accident had discharged his weapon.
During the standoff, about 40 police officers from the Stonington and Westerly as well as state police surrounded Menard, who remained near his pickup truck off the side of the road. Police could be heard yelling at him to drop his handgun.
Menard did not comply, Desmond said. He appeared intoxicated and got in and out of his truck several times during the attempted negotiations, Desmond said.
He said that Menard alternated between pointing his gun at his own head and the ground but he never directly pointed the gun at police. At 8:50 p.m., Menard shot himself while in his truck. He was pronounced dead at The Westerly Hospital.
Desmond said police are investigating Menard's death but so far have not come up with any reason for why he shot himself. He said Menard did not say anything to officers about why he wanted to commit suicide. Desmond said police will be talking to Menard's friends and relatives to reconstruct the hours before his death.
The standoff occurred near the La Quinta Inn & Suites at the corner of Route 2 and White Rock Road. The hotel did not allow anyone to enter or exit the property during the incident, and guests on the north side of the hotel, facing White Rock Road, were moved to south side of the hotel.
Menard lived in a white two-story home next to railroad track and across from the former Whistle Stop cafe. He purchased the home in 2005.
Three of Menard's neighbors said this afternoon that he liked to ride his bicycle and skateboard and recently bought a bright yellow Thing which was parked in ths driveway this afternoon. They said except for a male friend that used to come by regularly, few other people came to the house.
"He was a really friendly guy but he seemed to keep to himself," said one of the neighbors, Jay Rondeau.
He said he saw Menard get into his car at 5 p.m. Saturday afternoon but nothing seemed unusual. He said he realized something was wrong when police went into Menard's home Saturday night.
The three men said they did not know Menard owned a gun. Desmond said police are investigating whether Menard owned a gun and had a permit for it.

Viswanathan Anand's journey to the 2010 World championship triumph was an unusual one, perhaps the most interesting of his career, considering the factors and actors involved.
The champion was to face home favourite Veselin Topalov at Sofia, where a couple of months earlier the Bulgarian had beaten Gata Kamsky to become the challenger. Anand reached Frankfurt from Madrid on April 15 as part of his plan to reach Sofia a week ahead of the scheduled start to the 12-game match.
However, the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland, and the resultant ash cloud forced closure of most of Europe's airspace. With millions of travellers stranded all over Europe and alternative travel options heavily booked, Team Anand finally opted for an arduous road trip, spread over 40 hours travelling across Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.
Finally, when their black Mercedes Sprinter reached Sofia on April 20, it was 4 a.m.! Later, the organisers agreed to defer the start of the match by a day, against Anand's request for three. As though things were not bad enough for Anand, he lost the opening game in 30 moves, and admitted to having forgotten his preparation on the 23rd turn.
"It was one of those ridiculous moments that you are not supposed to have, but it happens. The only thing I told myself was if it had to happen, it is best (for it) to happen in the first round. You still have time to recover," Anand said.
"But it was the worst possible start to the match."
Spirited comeback
Anand's spirited comeback in the second game, a 43-move victory, restored the balance. The champion settled down with a draw in the third game, and struck again with white pieces in the fourth.
"In Game two, Topalov was doing fine out of the opening, but made a mistake. I pounced and made some very accurate moves. I mean, technically, it was still difficult, but I managed to wrap it up in some six or seven moves from that point.
"I thought it was efficient. Game four was nice. It was just a beautiful game… some lovely tactics there," recalled Anand.
With the Indian still ahead by a point at the halfway stage, Topalov stepped it up and won the eighth game.
In Anand's words: "The second half was difficult for me, from Game seven to 10. He started taking the initiative during this phase. In Game eight, he did press me; he had a good idea, but having escaped that only to blunder and lose, was bad.
"And in Game 10, when I was losing, I thought after the last three games, if I were to lose and fall behind, it will be very difficult (to bounce back).
"Once I had saved Games 10 and 11 by hanging in there, I was okay."
Topalov's gamble
Before the final game, speculation was rife that Topalov would go flat out with white pieces to avoid the rapid tie-break games. Two factors fuelled this thinking — Anand's intimidating record in shorter time-formats and Topalov's loss to Vladimir Kramnik in the rapid phase of their 2006 championship match.
As it turned out, Topalov took a gamble, and stretched it too far. Anand punished him in 56 moves to keep the title.
"It was nice to clinch it with a win, and that too, with black. You know, in the last eight decisive games that we played, Topalov won four times with white, and I won three. So, after many years of matches between us, this was the first victory for black. It felt nice," Anand said.
In the days that followed, Anand admitted that his team of seconds was a bit worried on learning that Topalov was using a 112 core "computer cluster" that worked at mind-boggling speed.
Anand then stunned the chess world by revealing his "human cluster" that included Magnus Carlsen, Garry Kasparov and Vladimir Kramnik.
Candidly, Anand acknowledged their contributions were priceless in what he considered his toughest test!

text: To you young-uns the first playoff game in Foxboro was when the then Houston Oilers under Bum Phillips came up here in 1978 and Earl Campbell ran all over the Pats for the Houston win. Anyway, going into the tunnel after the game, a hand came out of the stands and pulled Bum Phillips Stetson right off his head. The TV clip showed it being passed up into the stands as Bum swiped at it - as I recall he never got it back, it must be in a trophy case somewhere here in New England...As Wade cant coach a defense maybe hes here to look for it?

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- A state board has ordered former New Orleans Police Assistant Superintendent Marlon Defillo to stop operating a private company that manages lucrative security details.
The Louisiana State Board of Private Security Examiners opened an investigation following a Times-Picayune article that revealed Defillo's consulting company was offering security services on film sets.
Security details must be worked by sworn law enforcement officers. Defillo obtained a badge from a city constable, but the examiners group says Defillo lacks a necessary license from their group.
Defillo's attorney, Daniel Davillier, said he and his client are trying to gauge whether the board's set of rules 'is even applicable' to Defillo's work. 'I've advised him not to have the company operate till we get clarification,' Davillier said.
Meanwhile, the Times-Picayune reported Saturday (http://bit.ly/yA3kkr ) that Defillo's company employed a New Orleans police officer, violating Police Department rules. A police spokeswoman said the department's Public Integrity Bureau will investigate.
The security examiners' board licenses and regulates companies that handle security, requiring them to meet requirements ranging from training and uniform standards to insurance and bonding benchmarks.
The board tried to serve Defillo with a cease-and-desist order Feb. 16 at City Hall. Defillo refused to sign or acknowledge it, records show.
'If we catch him working again, working security, we would go into court and ask for injunctive relief,' said Wayne Rogillio, the board's executive secretary.
Defillo also faces a $500 fine for not being licensed, and he must undergo an administrative hearing in which the board's executive committee would rule on his case, Rogillio said. Until then, he added, Defillo cannot offer any kind of security service.

Michael Jackson fans hooted, chanted and clapped for the first showing of "Captain EO," which officially returned to Disneyland at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
About 200 fans, who began gathering Monday night near the main gate, were led in from a special line to see the 3-D movie, which has been absent from Disneyland since 1997.
Many screamed and chanted "EO!' as they filed into the theater, which fits between 500 and 600 people. Some audience members screamed when Jackson first elevated onto the screen and hollered more when he began to dance.
[bc3 height="320"]68221313001[/bc3]
After the movie, fans said it was worth the wait.
"It was better than I expected. It was really like watching the film for the first time," said Daniel Lew, who was the first in line at 9 p.m. Monday.
Andrew Alcantar, 40, of Hawthorne, said he first saw "Captain EO" on the opening weekend in 1986, so he knew he wanted to come back for the film's revival.
"It was just what I remembered, and they added little goodies," said Alcantar, who wore a "Captain EO" T-shirt.
Disney crews added some motion to the floor for the latest movie, something that wasn't part of the original showing. The vibrations during a spaceship sequence gave the attraction a Star Tours feel.
Amber Frakes, 24, of Huntington Beach, said she loved the floor effects, along with the rest of the movie, after waiting for almost 10 hours. She saw the movie for the first time as a baby and watched it repeatedly until it left when she was a pre-teen. For the occasion, she made a sequined jacket and earrings with the "Captain EO" logo.
"It's better than what I remembered," Frakes said, before getting in line to watch it again.
By mid-morning, the line inside Disneyland was short, running about 20 minutes.
For the first showing, about 35 people were already in line by 6 a.m. Tuesday, about four hours before the first showing of the return of the 3-D movie at the Tomorrowland theater, where it played from 1986 to 1997.
Although the park opened at 9:30 a.m., Disney officials allowed Jackson fans to line up early on the west side of Disneyland's main entrance. Disney formed a second line before 7 a.m. By 8:20, the line had grown to 125.
Click here for a round-up of tweets about #captaineo.
First in line was Lew, 36, from Oceanside. A reporter for California Horsetrader, he got there at 9 p.m. Monday. Eight more of his friends joined later.
Two other young women who started driving from San Francisco at 9:30 p.m. Monday and got here at 3:30 a.m. They wore "Captain EO'' shirts and had stuffed animals of "Fuzzball,'' a character in the movie, resting on their shoulders.
A mom had her 6- and 8-year-old kids with her. The boys may or may not go to school after the movie, said Verdelle Reynolds, 33, of Chino.>

What does Hanoi Mean?
more... more stories...
21 May 2015 A great tour with a great tour guide. Le obviously has a good knowledge of the area and of what we were looking at. His English is excellent and he was very helpful in giving us other hints and tips about getting on in Hanoi, which I really appreciated.
18 May 2015 I wish we had spent an additional hour sailing around the islands instead of an hour for the cave - the actual sailing around the islands portion of the trip was very short relative to the length of the trip.
11 Jan 2015 Overall experience was as expected, At times it was a little hard to hear our tour guide due to time of day and peak hour traffic but otherwise communications were good. Our guide was excellent in providing us local knowledge. Being on bikes gave us a good perspective of the area, enabling us to see areas we would not otherwise travel. We were well looked after as far as safety. We booked this tour as we had used this company three times prior and knew the service we would recieve would be excellent.
30 Dec 2014 Wonderful tour. As nutrition student knows food and culture related is too much important. Thanks tourist guide for tour.
27 Dec 2014 Oustanding Trip. Day trip is perfect to see everything in Halong Bay. Excellent tour guide and comfortable transportation.
18 Nov 2014 This is what I wrote on Tripadvisor: We booked the Foodie Night Tour as a private group for eight of us and met up with Quan as scheduled. We had a great, great time. He was informative friendly, patient, and humorous. He taught us how to cross the streets, too. We started with a snack my our meeting point, then walked the streets for two hours,tasting rice-flour rolls stuffed with pork and accompanied by dipping sauces, fresh apple-pears on the street, an amazing main course of Chinese-style grill (again on the street), dessert of various fresh fruits with coconut milk, condensed milk, and ice, and the capped it off with beers and coffee at the Cafe Pho Co overlooking the city's skyline and lake. The whole group agreed that it was a perfect way to spend out first evening in Hanoi. Quan gave us great eating recommendation for the next day, too. Highly recommended!!!
12 Nov 2014 Over the past three weeks, I have been on 6 Urban Adventures in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Hanoi. CITADEL KARST AND CYCLES has been by far the best one to date giving an insight into the history if Vietnam at the Citadel, a thoroughly fun hour cycling through the villages and rice fields, culminating in an amazing trip through the Karsts by boat. Keep up the good work Intrepid.

31 Oct 2014 My guide Hoang Le was excellent and I'd high reccomend this trip in Hanoi if your planning on staying for a few days
United Kingdom
03 Sep 2014 We were lucky to have Thao all to ourselves on the street food tour. She was hugely enthusiastic and knowledgeable and we spent a lovely evening wandering into places which we otherwise would have walked straight past. A really excellent tour and a fantastic introduction to Hanoi
24 Aug 2014 The trip was great and we enjoyed all aspects of it. One thing I would mention is to be careful of the local street food experience we were both quite ill following this, and we usually do not have this problem in Vietnam.
The Hanoi Urban Adventure team are passionate about their city. Each of our Hanoi tours will show you different aspects of our country, different corners of its streets, unique insight into our home communities and much more! Come see the best of Hanoi and its surrounds with us.

At Urban Adventures, we firmly believe local travel is one of the best ways we can support responsible tourism. In fact, we believe it so strongly that we've made it our entire business! All our tours are run by local experts, not some faceless corporate team located halfway around the world with no sense of the local vibe.
We craft our tours to ensure every traveller has authentic interactions with local people, businesses, transportation, and food and drink. Local travel gives you the opportunity to experience a destination as locals do, and has the potential to impact you in ways you never imagined. In short: local is awesome.
As a responsible travel company, we promise to:
- Use locally owned infrastructure on our tours whenever possible.
- Spread the financial benefits amongst local people and operators.
- Provide employment and leadership opportunities for local people.
- Respect local customs and culture.
- Provide safe tours for Urban Adventure partners, staff, and travellers.
- Educate travellers and our partners about how and why we choose to travel this way.
- Limit any negative impact to the daily lifestyles of local people.
- Limit any physical impact on natural and cultural environments.
- Provide support to organisations and local communities.
- Provide opportunities for travellers to interact with local people.
- Actively ban partners, staff, and passenger participation in or endorsement of commercial sexual activities or illegal drug use on Urban Adventures tours.
- Work to prevent the exploitation of children in tourism.
- Actively discourage participation in activities that exploit animals.
- Use local partners that adhere to Urban Adventures' responsible travel principles.
- Support and encourage fair employment practices.
- Give our travellers the best possible value.
- Have fun!
As a traveller, we ask that you keep the following in mind:
- People: Be mindful of the local citizens, and seek understanding through shared experiences. Consider their customs and values while in their homeland, and when in doubt, ask your guide for advice.
- Environment: Be mindful of the local environment, and act with conservation and sustainability in mind. Follow local guidelines, as recommended by your guide, and make proactive decisions on your own.
- Culture: When travelling to other cultures, remember that not everyone's customs are the same as yours at home. Be respectful, and be mindful of openly questioning a customary practice, even if you disagree with it. Try to understand from their perspective. You may learn something! Your guide will be an excellent point of reference here, so check with them if you're unsure.
- Economy: Make every effort to use local businesses and put your tourism dollars in the right (local) pocket. We use local vendors and businesses, and your guide will be able to advise you on the best ways to support the local economy.

Health initiative will get Memphis moving
Program on heels of city's plan to ax sports
It's Michelle Obama's turn to leave her mark on Memphis as her Let's Move! initiative launches in the city today along with other health initiatives.
The kickoff is from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at Frayser Park, 2907 N. Watkins, and at Hickory Hill Park, 3910 Ridgeway. The events are free and open to the public.
"The Let's Move! program has four pillars: healthy choices, healthy schools, healthy food and activity," said Betty Bagett, wellness education coordinator for the city of Memphis Wellness Program.
Memphis, she said, will focus on increasing physical activity by 2012.
"The entire family will benefit from this program," Bagett said.
In addition to the Let's Move! program, the city will also gain other health initiatives.
Bagett said Mayor A C Wharton will announce two of the new 25 Shared Area and Fitness Exercise sites or SAFE zones today.
The SAFE zones will allow Memphians to exercise in outdoor parks and areas in their own neighborhoods with increased police patrols between 5:30 and 7:30 a.m. and 4:30-6:30 p.m., she said.
She said more SAFE zones will be revealed within the next few months.
Kyle Wagenschutz , city of Memphis bicycle and pedestrian coordinator, said another part of the city's new initiatives for healthier Memphians includes another 55 miles of bike paths by next summer.
He said there are 15 miles of bike lanes, 24 miles of bike trails and 75 miles of bike routes in Memphis.
The Let's Move! program comes to Memphis on the heels of Wharton's proposed budget for the 2011-12 fiscal year, which calls for eliminating 265 youth and 223 adult athletic teams through Memphis Park Services.
Drew Smith, communications director for the America Heart Association in Memphis, said the city has some of the worst obesity rates in the country. Taking money away from the park programs is like, "shooting ourselves in the foot," he said.
According to a 2011 report by America's Health Rankings and a 2010 report by Trust for America's Health, 34 percent of adults in Tennessee are obese -- the second highest in the nation.
The 2010 report by Trust for America's Health also ranks Tennessee the sixth-highest state for obese youths with 20.6 percent of children 10-17 years old in the state considered obese.
In an official statement, the American Heart Association noted that, "Opening up our parks and schools to the community as sources of community recreation is vital to reducing this disturbing trend."
Mary Cashiola, spokesman for the mayor's office, said in an e-mail Tuesday that the city understands how important athletic programs are in meeting health and fitness goals, but that there are no easy choices in the budget this year.
"As a Let's Move! city, we are dedicated to improving the health of our children by promoting physical activity," she said.
Started by the first lady in 2010, the Let's Move! program is in 300 cities, including Chattanooga, Jackson, Morristown, Nashville and Oak Ridge in Tennessee.
Let's Move!
There will be appearances today by members of the University of Memphis men's basketball team at Frayser Park and the Memphis Grizzlies at Hickory Hill Park.
Both parks will feature live music, group walks, informational health vendors, a Smoothie King and a flash workout session with Beyonce's "Get Me Bodied" video, which was made in support of the Let's Move! program.

Product Data
|Noise Level:
CycleOps engineers designed the Fluid 2 to capture real road feel through the use of a 2.75 lb individually precision–balanced flywheel for more momentum and stability of your rear wheel.
They also adjusted fluid levels for better resistance and improved the position of sealed–cartridge bearings for better inertia and an ultra quiet ride that ensures increased wattage as you increase your speed.
And just like riding outside, simply shift gears to increase or decrease resistance. When you spin your wheels on the Fluid2 it feels like you're actually getting somewhere.
Stop logging junk miles and start employing the exclusive PowerTuned technology—the result of scientific and athletic collaboration. Now riding the trainer feels more like riding on the road because your wheel accelerates and decelerates on an infinite resistance curve, just like it does outside.
Professional cyclists and renowned scientist Allen Lim worked together to develop a power curve based on a hybrid of road and time trial positions, finding the point at which a speed of 25 mph overlaps with an output of 400 watts.
This point of overlap is where the optimal power curve resides and is the basis for PowerTuned technology. By training on a PowerTuned curve, you benefit from the most true-to-life speed verses power contingency, no matter what speed you ride at.

About the CycleOps brand
Cycleops are world famous for producing high quality cycle trainers. However, the company origins weren't in cycling, believe it or not they started with producing curtain rods! The story goes that the Graber brothers sold their window products company and needed something to do. They experimented in their garage and came up with a best-selling bike rack. In 1989, Chris and Sara Fortune purchased the company when it was selling 80,000 bike racks a year. In 1990, a high-end brand of bike rack was launched, branded as "Saris." Today Saris is a leading supplier to the bicycle industry in over 30 countries. The company expanded in 1999 by acquiring the Cycleops brand of bike trainer. As usual they set out to improve on the design and by 2001 they created a new trainer frame and in 2002 they launched the world's first progressive resistance Cycleops magnetic trainer. It was in 2001 that they heard about a hub that could measure power output and they jumped at the chance to bring this product to cyclists. They bought the company that invented Powertap and started a new round of Cycleops cycling innovations.

Magazine reviews for CycleOps Fluid 2 Trainer
Review from Bikeradar
It's not flashy but in terms of pure performance the evolved Fluid 2 is in a class of its own.
Tubular legs with adjustable hooves kick out wide to create a super solid, broad stance base. The stability on offer gives you no doubt that you can go full gas without any worries of ending up in a heap.
Rather than using screw clamps, the offside axle cup is a blissfully simple yet effective two position 'gate' with a spiral lock drive side cam that clunks solidly into place.
The big metal roller makes it less damaging on tyres and less pressure specific than some other turbo trainers. The actual engine is super-smooth. The non adjustable 'automatic' incremental fluid resistance has a really light start and a very flat but consistent power curve.
At first it feels like it won't be enough for a proper power workout with a compact chainset. However, get it spinning in a big gear and it'll deliver 1000 watts plus of pure leg blending pain. There's excellent sustain between surges and overall action makes it as close to enjoyable as you'll get for sprints or extended spin sessions. The fan flywheel adds a bit of noise but generates some cooling and the whole unit is lifetime warrantied too.
In conclusion...
Silky smooth and capable of punishing you
Rating: 5/5
Product Q & A
Ask your questions and share your answers.
does this trainer require a riser block and is it essential to have a specific turbo trainer rear tyre
You do not need a trainer tyre, but it will wear down any other tyre you use. My suggestions is to use an old tyre that has started to wear.
Regarding turbo tyres, I have a spare wheel that I use on the turbo that I got with an old tyre that is too worn or damaged to use on the road...
Do I need the adapter for my size of wheel?

Rear Hub Cannondale C4
Tyres Schwalbe Lugano, 700x23c
•1 x QR skewer
The CycleOps Fluid 2 includes: •1 x QR skewer; is it necessary to buy one before using the Trainer, or does the standard CycleOps Fluid 2 Trainer include all that is needed for it actually to be used within the box?
Thank you.
Can this be used with an Alfine 11 hub?
"Unfortunately it will not be possible to use a Alfine 11 equipped bike with a turbo trainer I am afraid."
I've emailed a few of the manufacturers and so far Kurt Kinetic have replied and confirmed that the standard fittings do work with Alfine 11 hubs (one of their partners have been using them for some time).
Also, I believe Tacx provide some replacement nuts to allow their trainer to be used with the hub.
So it cannot be that _all_ trainers are incompatible with the hub.
Could you please clarify what the previous answer meant?
is this compatible with zwift
Look at youtube video Power Meter v Virtual Power
When the wattage increases the fluid heats up and the power mapping becomes irregular.

How high is resistance on this trainer?
What size and weight of box?
Product Dimensions: 61 x 53.3 x 17.8 cm ; 9 Kg

Is it suitable for Tern Joe J24?

Noonie and Kate, the adorable husband and wife team behind "mobile emporium" TheSuperCool have set up a semi-permanent shop in South Melbourne's SO:ME Space. The pair have never stayed put for this long, preferring to hawk their goods "peddler style" at events and online. But from now until February 2013, you can pop by SO:ME Space, a quirky concept store located in the South Melbourne Market where designers are constantly rotating to ooh and ah over the twee wares on display from this usually on the go pop-up shop. Greeting cards, ironic tea towels, antique knick-knacks, hilarious Japanese signs, guitar-shaped fly swatters, indie design magazines, everything at TheSuperCool is just that: super cool. xx Ashley Churchill

I have seen both the old version and refurbished version of SM3, though not at the same time. I must say that the refurbished SM3 looks much stronger, and no sign of 'furrow' in the 'border' of the black and transparent plastic housing. Still, they look fragile but if used with care they should be able to last long.
