Mount Holly celebrates weatherization effortsBy Lucia Suarez
STAFF WRITER | February 26,2013MOUNT HOLLY Thirty-two residents in Mount Holly weatherized their homes last year as part of an energy efficiency contest around the county.
For their efforts, the town as a whole clinched a $10,000 prize from NeighborWorks of Western Vermont to fund a public conservation project: insulate and improve heating costs at the town offices.
Over a four-day weekend last November, contractors with Vermont Energy Works insulated the buildings attic and air sealed the basement, reducing the amount of heat escaping from the building. They also installed a programmable thermostat which allows the town to determine when the heat should be higher in the building.
A handful of residents who participated in the contest were joined by local and state officials Monday afternoon to celebrate their accomplishments at the town offices.
One of the things, being here, is that I dont have to talk over the furnace, John Reuter of Vermont Energy Works told a crowd of about 20 people. The furnace used to run almost continuously and it was loud. I have not heard it once.
The town office is expected to save $1,171 in fuel costs a year and money is still in the budget for some more work.
Mount Holly resident Marcy Tanger, whose home was one of the 32 in town weatherized, helped organize the towns project. She said they still have about $4,000 left after receiving a cash incentive from Efficiency Vermont and they hope to continue improvements and help more residents weatherize.
It really is amazing so many people took the opportunity to fix their homes, said Joan McCallum, who helped Tanger with moving projects forward. I live in an 1850 farmhouse. Its a cold one. It could never get warm. ... (Now) it holds on to the heat and it heats up faster.
Rutland County Sen. Eldred French, who was the first to complete a weatherization project in his home in Shrewsbury, was on hand to congratulate Mount Holly residents for their achievement. He said more needs to be done across the state particularly at the legislative level to find ways to make weatherization more attractive to residents.
Its important to do this across the board, French said. The focus has to be greater.
He said many people forget that these projects will give them the most bang for the buck and help them have more money in their pockets.
French also read a statement from Vermont Rep. Peter Welch, who said it is heartening to see a community so dedicated to making their homes and buildings energy efficient.
Investments in energy efficiency help Vermonters save money, create jobs and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, Welchs statement continued. As I continue to advocate for federal legislation to promote energy efficiency, it is projects like this that will help me to make the case to my colleagues on the Energy and Commerce Committee.
A representative for Sen. Bernard Sanders, took Mondays celebration to further congratulate town residents for their forward thinking efforts.
Reading a statement from the Vermont senator, Harper Gay said NeighborWorkss program to improve energy efficiency has helped establish a model program that will help hundreds of homeowners through community outreach, creative incentives and convenient financing options.
We know weatherization saves families hundreds of dollars on fuel bills every year, supports jobs in our state, keeps more of our energy dollars in state, and cuts greenhouse gas emissions, Sanders statement said. We need to do everything we can to make it easier for more families to access these programs. ... Today we celebrate a milestone in the effort, but must recognize there is more to be done to reach our ambitious goal.
The NeighborWorks program is part of a $4.5 million federal Department of Energy grant it received in 2010 as part of an effort to alter the market for energy efficiency.

I do not know exactly, what 'fanon' is. I thought it's fan speculations, which are said to be true, but in canon it was never said (Everyone knows, that Vetinari has black hair, but it has never been said in any Discworld book).
For explanation of what I wrote, just some examples from some other fandoms: Many of us Trekkies have to deal with Final frontier or Spock's Brain. Yes, It's official Star trek, it's canon, but it doesn't fit into the world, that has been established by previous movies and TV series. We pretend Kirk never climbed the mountain and there's no Spock's insane brother. We pretend, that remote-controlled brainless Spock has never walked the Enterprise's corridors..
Or Star Wars, episodes I-III (well, some people would argue). It's Star Wars, it's canon, it has the same authors, but it has disappointed many fans. Midichloriams? Meh.
The same with UA in the Discworld series. It simply doesn't fit the world, which I have in my head after reading the previous Discworlds. It's a Discworld, it's a Pratchett's book, and I have to deal with it. But it ruins my image of Discworld, the city of Ankh-Morpork and the characters, so I try to pretend the terrible orc (I apologise to his fans) doesn't exist, Vetinari doesn't drink so much alcohol and this book did not happen at all, cos, frankly, there's nothing I would miss, if this book did not exist. Even Making Money has good bits, though I do not like that book, but UA gave me nothing. There's a Czech saying, which can be translated: Even a master carpenter sometimes cuts wrongly. Everyone makes mistakes.

Part 3 in a 10-part online-only series … Game 2, vs. The Citadel Sept. 6 in Tallahassee, 6:30 p.m. CDT, ESPN3 — The first nonconference meeting between the teams in nine years and sixth overall with FSU leading the series 5-0-1 … Game 11 vs. Boston College Nov. 22 in Tallahassee, time TBA, TV TBA — The Atlantic Coast Conference finale for the Seminoles, who lead the series 8-4 … Participate in #FSUTrivia on Twitter, follow Brad Milner @PCNHBradMilner for your chance to win one of 10 BCS Championship commemorative editions ... Click here to read Part 1 ... Click here to read Part 2
If ever there were a perfect example of implosion among #FSUTwitter it was Sept. 28, 2013.
This was the date Boston College nearly derailed any future plans for a Florida State title run when the Eagles jumped out to a 17-3 lead. Jameis Winston led FSU back and #FSUTwitter calmed down and pulled itself off the ledge amid screaming for Jimbo Fisher's head.
This year's rematch comes much later in the season, one week before the annual Florida finale in fact. It's FSU's 11th game and eighth in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Many weeks prior, FSU will host The Citadel in what will be a massacre.
Boston College
The Eagles' winning formula worked into the second quarter of last year's meeting, as they won the battle on the line of scrimmage. Running lanes were open often and swing passes were plentiful. It was another slow start for the FSU defense, which was an early point of contention among the fan base.
BC was only one of two teams — the other Auburn — to rush for 200 or more yards against FSU last season. This wasn't surprising, given BC's ability to run against FSU no matter the scheme or player.
Prolific runner Andre Williams collected 149 of the 200 yards against the Seminoles a year ago, but he has departed for professional pastures. Williams and also departed quarterback Chase Rettig were part of a slight resurgence in the program in Steve Addazio's first season. The Eagles won seven games and qualified for a bowl and will bring the same hard-nosed attitude into Tallahassee.
They also bring a familiar face in quarterback Tyler Murphy. The former Florida starter was a graduate transfer this spring and has hold of the No. 1 gig in Chestnut Hill. Murphy threw for 1,216 yards and six touchdowns while relieving the injured Jeff Driskel.
Addazio is high on Murphy, who he recruited while an assistant with the Gators. Murphy has won the job, but he will be pushed by a bevy of young signal-callers should he falter. He will throw to a wide receiving corps devoid of Alex Amidon, who accounted for half of the team's yards and nearly half of the receptions in 2013.
The Eagles have two returning running backs that saw action in a combined 20 games. Both rushers, Myles Willis and Tyler Rouse, may not give the team typical power at the position but Addazio remains confident.
Willis rushed for 346 yards and two touchdowns, while Rouse had 125 on limited carries. Addazio noted both have competitive spirits and they'll be needed running behind a line that has lost its two starting tackles.
Defensively, BC must replace five starters on the front seven, including linebackers Steele Divitto and Kevin Pierre-Louis, who combined for 220 tackles and nine sacks. Steven Daniels returns as the team's leading tackler at linebacker and misses spring with an injury. Addazio said there was promise in youth, but it's yet to be tested.
BC not having as much talent as other teams in the conference may not be rare, but the Eagles have largely been competitive over the years. This is especially the case against FSU and you can expect BC to play well despite being heavy underdogs.
The Citadel
Speaking of underdogs, or underBulldogs…
The Football Championship Subdivision opponent is trading the big payday for the expected blowout defeat. It's The Citadel's second game after opening against FCS playoff team Coastal Carolina and this will be a vastly more difficult test.
The Bulldogs are fresh off a 5-7 campaign that saw one Football Bowl Subdivision foe in Clemson. The Tigers won 52-6. FSU put 51 on Clemson without even trying.
The Citadel has experience with Heisman Trophy winners. The Bulldogs also played Tim Tebow and Florida in 2007 and the Gators dropped 70. You can expect this game to be in the same neighborhood.
The Bulldogs implemented new offensive and defensive schemes in the spring under first-year head coach Mike Houston. Optimism is high, as one might expect, but that won't get the Bulldogs far in Tallahassee.
The Citadel will field a new starter at quarterback under seasoned yet still inexperienced dual-threat Aaron Miller. He's seasoned in the fact he's appeared in 28 games in three seasons. He's inexperienced in the fact he's yet to start a game.
Mitchell Jeter and James Riley return to anchor the Bulldogs' defense. Riley was second on the team with 76 tackles and Jeter had 37 stops in 12 games.
- FSU's top returning players: QB Jameis Winston (4,057 yards, 40 touchdowns, 10 interceptions, 219 yards rushing, four TDs), RB Karlos Williams (730 yards, 11 TDs), WR Rashad Greene (1,128 yards, nine TDs), TE Nick O'Leary (557 yards, seven TDs), WR Kermit Whitfield (two rushing TDs, 619 kickoff return yards, two TDs), OL Josue Matias (29 starts), OL Cameron Erving (28 starts), PK Roberto Aguayo (21-22 FGs, 53 long, 94-94 XP), LB Terrance Smith (59 tackles, two sacks), DB Jalen Ramsey (49 tackles, one INT, one fumble recovery), DE Mario Edwards Jr. (28 tackles, 9½ for loss, 3½ sacks), DB P.J. Williams (35 tackles, three INTs), DB Ronald Darby (14 tackles, two INTs), DB Nate Andrews (35 tackles, four INts), LB Reggie Northrup (46 tackles).
- Boston College's top returning players: RB Myles Willis (346 yards, 709 kickoff return yards, four total TDs), OL Ian Silberman, LB Steven Daniels (88 tackles, three sacks), LB Josh Keyes (30 tackles, 3½ sacks), DT Brian Mihalik (27 tackles, two sacks).
- The Citadel's top returning players: QB Aaron Miller (407 yards passing, 196 yards rushing, two TDs), RB Vinny Miller (357 yards rushing, 175 yards receiving, two TDs), LB James Riley (76 tackles), DL Justin Oxendine (46 tackles, 4½ sacks), DL Mitchell Jeter (37 tackles).
- First-glance predictions: Don't expect much of a game against The Citadel and don't expect to see Jameis Winston and Co. much in the second half. As for Boston College, the Eagles are usually a tough opponent and this game will be no different. FSU will pull away late, but don't be surprised if it's close for a while.
- Next week: Another tandem look at ACC games at North Carolina State and at home against Wake Forest.

Can the new retina display macbook pro fit in this?
I've been having a hard time looking for a designer sleeve for my Mac but I love the MK ones & I would love one of them to be able to fit it.
- Asked by Rhonda H from Port Perry
Michael Kors MK Monogram Sleeve for MacBook Air
Product No Longer Available
3 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
I recently purchased the new macbook pro with retina display 13" and also ordered the michael kors slim sleeve 13 inch. I am absolutely thrilled to say that my new macbook pro with retina display fits perfectly in the sleeve that Michael Kors designed for the macbook air. FITS LIKE A GLOVE!!! I am one happy momma!
- Answered by Cathy J B from Fleming
The retina fits perfectly. I have the 13" retina and it is stylishly snuggled in it. I purchased the MK with the monogram. I didn't like the black MK sleeve, it was made out of a cheaper fabric.
- Answered by Ang S
That's so pretty! Too bad it's really expensive.. I don't think it will fit. The 13" Retina Macbook is thicker than the Macbook Air.
Just wait a little bit :) The 13" Retina Macbook just came out.. companies usually take a little while to offer accessories.. especially MK.. because they arent a company dedicated to making apple accessories.

Camaros as convertibles have a checkered past. Dropping the top on a first-gen, especially on a '69 Pace Car convertible, was a near-religious experience and they command premium prices today. But that was the last F-body ragtop for almost 20 years. The second-gen was born in a time when open-air motoring was becoming a thing of the past and there was not another with a retractable roof model until '87.
These third-gen cars were stunning to look at, but the price was cowl shake, rattles, and (often) water leaks. When the fourth-gen was introduced in '93, the convertible was absent from the lineup. It would, however, make a comeback the following year. Unlike the previous incarnation, these convertibles would be built on the same assembly line as the coupes and they had improved build quality. The downside was the price point-there was a $4,000-$5,000 premium over the hardtop, a good 25-percent hike. (In '67, the tariff was about 10 percent, a little more if you ordered the power top.)
Now comes the fifth-gen convertible, as stunning a soft-top F-body as there has been. Lop the roof off many cars and they lose all their sexiness; not so the 2011 Camaro. In fact, it may look even better than the coupe. With the top down, the muscular rear fenders seem even more pronounced. The design loses none of its sleekness with the top up, either.
While we certainly would have felt more at home if our test car was an SS, the V-6-powered 2LT convertible was still a sporting automobile. Honestly, it pretty much looks identical to an SS and the average person on the street is hard-pressed to tell the difference. In fact, most were shocked when we told them it wasn't V-8-powered. Thanks to the performance of the 312-horse, direct-injected V-6, we'd say the stigma of owning a six-cylinder Camaro has been eradicated. No, it doesn't have 400-plus lb-ft of torque or that throbbing LS exhaust note, but the performance is definitely there. It'll run 14s in the quarter-mile all day, even with an automatic, equaling or bettering the performance of many of Chevy's sacred muscle-car icons of the '60s. In doing so, it'll deliver the kind of fuel economy (on regular) that a lot of customers consider mandatory in this era of $4-per-gallon unleaded. Despite our notorious lead feet, we averaged a respectable 21 mpg during our weeklong test. The EPA fuel economy estimates are 18 mpg city and 29 on the highway.
Our 2LT tester clocked in at a robust $36,185 with the automatic trans and RS package; opting for a cabriolet adds some 20 percent to the base price ($32,650 vs $27,350). With the average price of a new car being $30,000, this doesn't seem too unreasonable, though it still makes us kind of uncomfortable.
The good news is that the convertible delivers everything you've come to expect from a fifth-gen-balanced handling, a smooth ride, jaw-dropping stares and envy from others, and a very distinct lack of cowl shake. This is a very tight convertible. One negative was a water leak from the driver-side A-pillar after and during a heavy rain. This was problem our sister publication Motor Trend experienced with a different car; we can only hope this has something to do with our test car's early production status and Chevy can nip this problem in the bud before it tarnishes the car's reputation.
In the plus column is the way the car manages the air around you with the top down. The cockpit remains quiet and comfortable. If you put the side windows up, you can cruise at 85 mph without your hair getting mussed too badly. Over this speed and things get pretty windy. The Boston Acoustics premium eight-speaker sound system doesn't fare too badly either in open-air mode. The 10-inch subwoofer gets moved between the two rear seats and with the volume cranked, you'll hardly miss the roof.

Does anyone know if these are OK to buy? You save almost £5 per £15 credit. Normally i would think it was a scam but some of these power sellers are knocking them out in the 100s and all have 100% feedback.
They do say you are not receiving a card, but only a code to enter, seems fishy to me as how are they able to sell them so cheap? but then all feedback is spot on and there is lots being sold.. it doesn't add up?

When you live close to the shore, like I do, it's not uncommon to see four-wheel-drive vehicles with surf-fishing racks on the front bumper. The formula is this: fishing racks + beach = 4WD vehicle, usually a truck. That's what threw me when I first saw Dewey Powell's menacingly cool-looking '81-bodied Corvette at the Strictly Corvettes Show in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The first thing I noticed was the stylized fishing-pole rack and the way it was angled back from the middle to match the car's pointed nose. Then the tall tires and L88 wheel flares got me. "Wow," I thought, "What's this?" And that was before I looked under the hood and saw a dual-quad 392 Hemi.
Powell was completely relaxed in a lawn chair, wearing jeans, black cowboy boots, a black T-shirt, and wrap-around shades. "That yours?" I asked.
"Yeah, that's right," he answered, "and I drove it here today. You should have seen it yesterday. It was covered with sand." I had just met Ocean City's local legend, Dewey Powell.
Powell is what you might call "Old School." You could also say that he truly has gasoline in his veins. As a small child, he helped out at his Dad's Esso gas station, which opened in 1912. By 1945, Powell was pumping gas and looking to go fast at the local eighth-mile dragstrip with his Model A pickup truck powered by a Chevy engine. Powell's uncle owned one of the most famous dirt tracks in South Jersey. Over the decades the track was named Powell Speedway, then Pleasantville Speedway, and finally, Atlantic City Speedway. Today, the old racetrack is long gone, but Powell is still powering around in one of several of his hand-made machines.
This was definitely a racing family, and Powell built all sorts of dirt track and drag cars. Dirt racers are unique in that they don't mind fixing cars that get slammed around. If something breaks, they fix it and get back on the track. They're also very good at mixing and matching parts from all kinds of cars in order to reach their objective.
Powell's 4WD Corvette comes from that kind of "garage engineering." The basic structure of the car is a '69 Corvette. When Powell bought the car in 1976, it had been set up for drag racing with a turbocharged LS6 454. Life can be hard for cars that reside along the shore, as the salt air eats them alive. The original body was completely shot, but it just happened that a friend had a body from an '81 Corvette for the right price. Being a career mechanic and having access to lots of parts, Powell started another of his car projects.
With the car completely stripped and a new body waiting, Powell set about building his 4WD Corvette. The C3 rides on a short, 98-inch wheelbase. Since the front-wheel-drive unit was coming out of a Cadillac Eldorado, and a transfer cast was to be mounted behind the transmission, Powell needed an engine that was shorter than a big-block Chevy. Powell had raced Hemis before and thought, "Why not?"
The 392 Hemi is out of a '58 Chrysler New Yorker. We tend to forget just how much cast-iron was in those old Hemis. With a Turbo 400 and a 1,800rpm-stall torque converter, Powell's engine, trans, and 4WD transfer case weighs around 1,000 pounds. The 392 Hemi has 10.5:1 compression and uses a 0.490-lift hydraulic cam operating stainless steel valves. The aluminum intake manifold is the only substantial part on this engine that's not cast-iron. The current two Edelbrock carbs will soon be replaced with two 600 Holleys.

Here's an easy quiz: Which of your Corvette's pedals do you want to push all the way to the floor, and which one do you never want to touch the carpet? If you answered "accelerator" first and "brake" second, then you already understand the opposite but interrelated processes of hurling a high-powered car to speed and then safely bringing it to a stop.
Fortunately for us, braking technology for the Corvette has improved exponentially since the days of four-wheel drums. Today, modern braking systems allow these performance machines to perform safely in a variety of driving and competition environments, without the risk of fade or failure.
Great brakes aren't just a late-model luxury, either. Thanks to a burgeoning aftermarket, all generations of Corvettes can take advantage of modern braking technology. With this in mind, we contacted 14 brake manufacturers and asked them to describe their Vette-specific kits.
Because choosing a brake kit is based upon myriad variables--including price, vehicle weight, horsepower, and intended usage--we didn't favor one of these manufacturers over the others. Instead, we listed them all and allowed them to state their case. All that's left is for you to decide which of these systems is right for your car.
Brembo North America
(800) 325-3994
Brief Description
Brembo Gran Turismo brake-upgrade systems include Brembo four- or six-piston calipers with sequentially sized pistons and come in a choice of red, black, or silver (yellow available on some applications). Other features include Brembo drilled or slotted two-piece rotors up to 15 inches (380mm) or one-piece rotors up to 14 inches (355mm), DOT- and TV-certified Goodridge stainless steel braided brake lines, Brembo high-performance brake pads, Brembo floating anti-rattle rotor hardware, and Brembo billet-aluminum or steel brackets.
Trademark Features
Brembo's GT brake systems for the Corvette are designed based on specific vehicle parameters for optimum brake balance. Larger, fixed-mount calipers with specially tailored piston sizes and upsized discs help achieve these goals while providing increased thermal capacity for superior fade resistance. Systems using two-piece discs enhance not only the performance of the brakes, but the vehicle's overall performance as well, thanks to a reduction in unsprung and rotating weight.
Quote from the Company
"Brembo is a leader in enhancing the performance of Corvette models. The '09 Corvette ZR1 was the first-ever North American production car to be fitted with Brembo's state-of-the-art carbon-ceramic brake discs (CCM), developed and produced by the company in its Kilometro Rosso R&D Center in northern Italy. In 2004, this leading-edge technology received the `Golden Compass,' the most significant award in Europe for engineering design. Brembo offers GT brake upgrade systems for Corvette C4, C5, and C6 owners."

The Weiser Field Guide to the Paranormal: Abductions, Apparitions, ESP, Synchronicity, and More Unexplained Phenomena from Other Realms, by Judith Joyce
Weiser Books, 9781578634880, 210 pp. (incl. resource guide and index), 2011
Setting out to write a field guide to the paranormal is perhaps the definition of thankless task. There are bound to be quibbles with what one includes or doesn't, and even terminology is certain to be contentious. Judith Joyce's bravery is only matched by her handling of competing interpretations within the entries of this field guide, though the overwhelming impression in this particular book is one of editorial bias.
The "field guide" focuses very heavily on Victorian-era Spiritualism and UFOs instead of taking a broader view. With the American study of the paranormal so heavily influenced (and indeed, in the 19th century pretty much exclusively funded by) by Spiritualists, it was perhaps a legitimate choice, though not to my personal taste. In some cases (like the entry on Lily Dale) said emphasis threatens to choke the guide as a whole. A better title might have been "A Field Guide to Spiritualism and UFOs, with Some Other Cool Stuff Slid in Around the Edges." Continue reading

A quick question for European buyers of NXT kits
How were the batteries supplied?
The rechargeable batteries I ordered turned up a while ago, but the batteries I was expecting with the NXT kit have not shown up.
Just trying to see if anybody else is affected ...
- Thanks, Tony

I received my NXT kit with batteries. Whilst I am in Australia it was shipped from the UK. The single 6 pack of batteries was just loose in the shipping box. Separate from the NXT box.

The same as scott, the batteries were separate from the NXT kit. I am from Portugal. :)

Thank-you for the feedback. I will stop expecting a separate delivery, and contact Lego.
It is a small detail really, especially as I have the rechargeable batteries now. (From a Lego education distributor.)
The rechargeable batteries are on
I bought my rechargeable batteries from a Lego education distributor. So far Lego Shop at Home only lists them for the US and Canada:
NXT rechargeable battery
Lego transformer
NXT rechargeable battery and transformer
Hopefully they will be available from Lego Shop at Home in other countries soon too. :-)
Ttfn, Tony

One thing I thought I would mention again...
The Train Themed transformer (AC Adapter) is exactly the same as the NXT transformer? Yep, I have compared them both. So, if you have one already you don't need to buy another one! Save and buy another rechargable battery pack!
Transformer part numbers -
LEGO Shop@Home - (NXT) 9833
LEGO Education - (NXT) 979833
Older LEGO Train & Technic Control Center Transformer -
AC Adapter, 120V - 10V Transformer
#9833-2 (-1 for European 230v version)
And, if anyone needs some I have a few extra.

Hi Koldo
Maybe some of the packers did not know about the batteries when the NXT kits were sent to the MDP applicants?
Lego shop at home were helpful when I phoned.
PS I cannot read Spanish, but your Blog about NXT and other robots looks great. :-)

Here a message from a dutch Lego Mindstorms/NXT Fan.
I received my 3 NXT sets today with 3 sets of batteries. All OK!
I initially connected the NXT through USB, just to make sure but then tested the Bluetooth system.
Updated Firmware to 1.03 (via USB)and afterwards checked out my bluetooth system and all absolutely OK! I use a Bluetooth 2.0 dongle from TRUST and it works like a rocket. No Problem here!!!!!!!!!!! Lego has certainly done the job!!!!!!!Thank you Lego!!
It seems thst the new Firmware and Software updates are doing perfectly well and I am ALL CLEAR to GO!
Many Regards,

I ordered my kit online at Lego Shop and received it last Tuesday. It had the 6 free Duracell batteries included as mentioned on the site when I placed the order.
The batteries were packed separately from the NXT kit. The expiration date is March 2013, so they're fresh :)
Anyway, gotta go, my NXT calls me ;)

Salt Lake City — During October's first presidential debate, President Barack Obama and Gov.Mitt Romney disagreed about many things, but they were quick to agree that Utah's Intermountain Healthcare is an example of high-quality, lower-cost healthcare. The debate was seen by an estimated TV audience of 60 million viewers.
In one section of Gov. Romney's response to healthcare questions, he said, "We ... need to put insurance plans, providers, hospitals, doctors on targets such that they have an incentive, as you say, performance pay, for doing an excellent job, for keeping costs down, and that's happening. Intermountain Healthcare does it superbly well."
"They do," agreed President Obama.
Intermountain has been cited frequently by those from both political aisles as a model healthcare system for providing excellent health outcomes at lower costs. In 2009, President Obama highlighted Intermountain specifically in speeches to a joint session of Congress and to the American Medical Association:
"We have long known that some places — like the Intermountain Healthcare in Utah or the Geisinger Health System in rural Pennsylvania — offer high-quality care at costs below average" (President Barack Obama, Speech to Joint Session of Congress, 9 Sep 2009).
"We need to build on the examples of outstanding medicine at places like ... the Geisinger Health system in rural Pennsylvania and Intermountain Health in Salt Lake City, where high-quality care is being provided at a cost well-below average ... These are islands of excellence that we need to make the standard in our healthcare system" (President Barack Obama, Speech to American Medical Association, Chicago, 15 Jun 2009).
A Dartmouth Institute report featured Intermountain as a national benchmark and predicted a reduction in U.S. Medicare expenditures of more than 40 percent — with higher quality — if other hospitals nationwide delivered healthcare the way it is delivered at Intermountain. These details were the focus of a recent, nationally broadcast PBS documentary, Money & Medicine, which compared and contrasted medical practices at Intermountain and UCLA Medical Center.

Wilson College helped former U.S. Army mechanic Michael Kirkpatrick earn a bachelor's degree in business management in a variety of ways besides education, including allowing him to receive credit for work experience and assisting with payment for credits through his employer, as well as the G.I. Bill.
"I was impressed with how well the financial aid office worked with (Letterkenny Army Depot) and the Department of Veterans Affairs office to ensure that all of my classes were paid and tuition was covered," said Kirkpatrick, who took a job at Letterkenny after leaving the Army.
The Shippensburg student graduated in May 2012, but before that, earned an associate degree in management from Wilson. The college allowed him to transfer credits from four other institutions he had attended, as well as accepting credits from skills he had learned on the job.
"Wilson was very understanding about my status as a nontraditional student," Kirkpatrick said. "There were times when I had to miss a semester due to personal reasons, and it was easy for me to pick up right where I left off. The professors were always able to meet with me outside of office hours and were prompt with their responses to emails."
Kirkpatrick took advantage of evening classes and January-term classes to help speed his path to graduation with less impact on his work schedule at Letterkenny, where he is a safety technician who works with managers, supervisors and employees to ensure compliance with federal, state and Army regulations.
Kirkpatrick's degree from Wilson will help him advance at Letterkenny, which he says promotes from within when possible and supports employees getting college degrees.
"The degree will open a lot more doors of opportunity for me, but promotions are not handed to you," said Kirkpatrick, 31. "I have to learn how to apply experiences to ensure success. This degree will simply push me to excel and support me."
Kirkpatrick's positive experience at Wilson has inspired him to continue his education. Just after getting his bachelor's degree, he enrolled in a master's program in business administration at Shippensburg University.

On PHPMaster.com today there's a new tutorial showing the use of a sometimes overlooked (but very handy) alternate syntax that PHP includes - the ternary operator, a short-hand if/else.
You're probably already familiar with PHP's if statement. It's very similar to its counterparts in many other programming languages and represents one of the most fundamental concepts in programming. [...] But there's a way to build on this concept and increase your $coolFactor a bit in the process. Allow me to introduce you to the ternary operator, which serves as a shorthand notation for if statements.
They introduce the ternary operator's syntax, the ":" and "?" operators and includes a few pieces of code showing its use. Thankfully they also include a warning - don't overuse or abuse it...and especially don't nest them - that just leads to headaches.
