Project Description
Short Summary
The objective of this research is to investigate the effects that hearing protectors have on verbal communication in the workplace, and specifically to evaluate the best method to assess these effects. Development of a new speech intelligibility measure is necessary, since all existing test materials are based on speech produced in quiet conditions, which is not representative of a workplace with high ambient noise levels. The Construction and Manufacturing sectors and Hearing Loss Prevention cross sectors will benefit from this research. This project will have application to the millions of workers who are exposed to noise in their occupations. The ability to identify appropriate protection that maximizes the ability to communicate in a noisy environment is a critical need listed in the NIOSH Hearing Loss Research Strategic Plan. Existing speech intelligibility tests will be integrated to develop new a test method and materials specifically tailored for use with hearing protection devices. Consequently, the translation of this new method will be developed into a new standard and will become a part of an updated best practices document for preventing occupational hearing loss.
During the first year of the project, attention will be focused on assessing the effect of earcanal occlusion, hearing protector attenuation, and background noise level on the intensity and frequency content of a talkers vocal output. To test whether differences between occluded and unoccluded vocal characteristics are due solely to the occlusion effect, speech produced while subjects earcanals are occluded will be measured without the subject receiving any attenuation from the hearing protectors. To achieve this condition, the subjects own voice will be reproduced (in real-time) through a set of headphones, essentially restoring the same sound level reaching his/her ears as when the hearing protectors are not worn (i.e., the attenuation of the protectors is being offset). To test whether vocal output differences are due to the reduction in the talkers self-perceived voice level, the amount of occlusion will be held constant while changing the effective hearing protector attenuation. Findings from this preliminary work will be used as the basis for determining the appropriate recording parameters for subsequent parts of the project.
Mission Relevance
An estimated four million U.S. workers are exposed to hazardous noise on a daily basis. This presents a significant problem that extends across nearly every occupational sector. Noise-induced hearing loss is virtually always preventable if suitable hearing protection is used. However, workers refuse to wear hearing protection because they complain it interferes with normal speech communication.

While "Jersey Shore's" Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi may be receiving a lot of hair hype for donning the teased crown look, big hair is making a resurgence this spring on the heads of other young stars, models, and even politicians.
Poufs popped up all over the Fall 2010 runways, including on the catwalks of Oscar de la Renta, Vera Wang, Chanel, and Nina Ricci. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton raised brows last month when she met with Russian leaders in Moscow last month to discuss nuclear arms and security issues and rocked raised tresses. And Miley Cyrus must have taken a page out of "Gossip Girl's" Blair Waldorf's style book as the singer-actress was recently spotted on the red carpet promoting her latest film, "The Last Song," with a Bumpit-esque 'do.
The rise in big hair has sparked much interest and debate with The New York Times and New York Magazine's The Cut exploring the roots of this hair phenomenon. From the elite women of Rome to the "Dynasty" ladies of the south to the shores of New Jersey to "The Queen City" of Cincinnati, Ohio, the pouf has made its rounds.
And YouTube's beauty-instrusctionitas are all over the pouf, with helpful videos on real ways to wear the Snooki pouf yourself, "Situation," or not.
What do you think about the return of the pouf? Would you wear this big hairstyle?

TriTech SBDC Counselor Recognized as 'State Star'
By Douglas A. Dare, Economic Development Specialist
Steven Mednick, a consultant with TriTech Small Business Development Center (SBDC), recently received the Association of Small Business Development Centers coveted "State Star" Award in recognition of his contributions to the state SBDC program. Mednick was presented with the award on Tuesday, September 6th, among his peers at the Association's Annual Conference in San Diego. The award is given annually to an outstanding SBDC consultant from each state. Criteria include showing a strong commitment to small business success; making significant contributions to the state SBDC program; and being an exemplary performer.
Over the past four years, Mednick's clients at TriTech have reported in excess of $75 million in economic impact to the Small Business Administration, remarkable considering Mednick works on average 48 hours per month for TriTech. SBA's mesaurement for economic impact includes change in sales, capital infusion, jobs created, and jobs retained.
One of the roughly two hundred clients that Mednick has consulted since joining TriTech is Ash Kumra, Chairman and co-founder of digital content distribution agency DesiYou, Inc. "We were seeking focus," Ash said. "We had several business models that each required cpaital and unique resources. Steve helped us to focus on the one that created a sustainable revenue model, what we were passionate about, and something scalable without upfront capital."
Mednick possesses more than 25 years experience working with early stage ventures to large enterprises in the areas of corporate ventures, business development, sales leadership, and corporate law. In 2000, he established the corporate ventures office for Silicon Graphics, Inc. in Mountain View, California where he led its global strategic mergers & acquisitions and licensing initiatives. In 2006, he established Plenum Revenue Group in Newport Beach. Plenum works shoulder-to-shoulder with emerging firms on top-line growth strategies.
In addition to being a part-time senior consultant at TriTech, Mednick is also an Assistant Professor of Clinical Entrepreneurship at the Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at the USC Marshall School of Business and is a two-time winner of the Marshall Golden Apple Award.
Jack Bicer, CEO of Septium, a custom software development company and another client of Mednick's, remarked, "Steven Mednick has a gift for getting to the essence of what an entrepreneur needs to be successful. As an advisor, his insights and vision are invaluable." Ash agreed, adding, "It will cost you more not to use them. TriTech has coaches that have been through what you're doing, offer business resources, and provide consulting in confidence, all for free."

Faculty Scholarship 1994 - Present
Expanded Liability for Hazing: A Teaching Tool
Recent appellate court decisions have extended liability for personal injuries sustained by college and university students during fraternity initiation hazing activities from the individuals engaged in those hazing activities and/or their local fraternity chapter, to the national fraternity authorizing the local chapter and the college or university permitting the fraternity to operate as a student organization. This paper is designed to explore the outer boundaries of personal injury law in the context of those hazing cases. The paper begins with a composite of the leading cases expanding liability for hazing activities, and poses questions which (1) explore the varying legal theories imposing liability for hazing related injuries, (2) investigate the social host rule imposing liability for furnishing alcoholic beverages to minors, (3) examine the application of traditional tort defenses, and (4) suggest steps students, fraternities, and colleges and universities might take to reduce liability.

Several major roads and residential areas in Harare have been disfigured in recent years by a spate of second-hand car dealers just using open land for sales points after putting up fences and small sales offices.
Many who live in the affected areas have been complaining loudly and volubly. Those who know anything about town planning procedures are aware that before land use is changed there have to be public advertisements and the near neighbours of the affected area or stand have to be specifically asked if they object.
In any case changing the land use of public open space in a residential area, or adjoining a residential area, needs a far more thorough process since it is a far greater change than, for example, allowing an accountant to change a house into an office, which does not really affect the neighbours. And when that change involves something as disfiguring and invasive as a second-hand car dealer the standards are even higher.
We thus cannot see how dozens of car sales could be allowed along a main road running through a residential area without major changes to the local plan for that area, a process that is expensive and time-consuming simply because the effects are so large.
This does not mean that there are no suitable areas for second-hand car dealers. The wasteland to the east of the Central Business District could well be deemed, after proper planning procedures were followed, as suitable for the temporary use, perhaps on one year leases, for car dealers.
When it was required for something better or more permanent the leases would be allowed to expire. There are other areas adjoining industrial sites where similar temporary planning changes would be acceptable, such as the northern edge of Coventry Road.
All this explains why, out of 200 dealers, only one was the result of a proper planning process. Many of the others have pieces of Harare City Council paper, it is said, but if so these "permits" were issued without the necessary planning procedures, laid down in an Act of Parliament, being followed and are therefore invalid. The council's own procedures require that these planning changes and rent of municipal land, have to go through the appropriate committee and the intention to rent council land has to be publicly advertised. This was not done, again invalidating any "permit".
So the city council is more than justified in launching a thorough investigation into the whole mess. To aid that investigation it has been wholesale in suspensions, sending 27 staff -- not 45 as previously reported -- in the city and estate management department home for 30 days.
The Zimbabwe Urban Councils Workers Union is horrified at this mass suspension, pointing out, correctly, that formal charges on the basis of some initial evidence of wrongdoing by a specified person have yet to be made. The innocent and the potentially guilty are being treated alike.
But the council appears to have taken that into account. All 27 have been suspended with full pay and benefits, so the innocent do not suffer in any way. The council knows that it is highly likely that some staff in that department are guilty of anything from negligence, in not informing their superior what was happening, up to serious corruption.
The council just does not know who and wants to find out; in these cases a quick way is to send everyone home and then go through the records left behind and start questioning everyone. At the end of the 30 days suspension the investigators, if competent, should have a good idea of who is innocent, who could be guilty and if so guilty of what. At that stage formal clearances or formal disciplinary charges must be laid and if necessary the police given any evidence of criminal wrongdoing. It is a valid way of investigating.
If the 27 had been suspended without pay it would have breached natural justice. The union cannot complain at this stage. So the council is now doing its job with this burst of activity, closing down and demolishing car sales that have not been properly approved under the law and going through a spectacular investigation into why almost 200 businesses were established on council land without such legal processes.
But that does not exonerate the council for its total lack of activity while all these car sales were being established over the last three years. If the council had clamped down on the first few the whole mess would never have arisen.
It took Local Government, Rural and Urban Development Minister Ignatius Chombo to initiate the frenzy of activity that is now consuming the council. While he was justified in taking action, to order the council to do its job, we cannot understand why the council itself did nothing for so long. Perhaps the council would care to widen its investigation to get the answer to that question as well.
And as planning staff are cleared the council should put them to work looking for suitable areas that could be leased by car dealers. They obviously fill a demand that the dealers on private land in proper commercial areas cannot cope with, but the required land does not have to degrade the life of neighbours.
Cars are not bought on impulse, so there is no need to line major roads with such businesses. If there is an area of future industrial land available, then that might be suitable for a collection of such dealers until the economy improves and the land is required for factories and the like.

The transmetal technology allows the Transformers to withstand and actually absorb raw energon radiation and exist in a non-beast mode in these environments without issue. In addition, transmetals can utilize a "vehicle" mode, such as wheeled (Rattrap, Tarantulas and Rampage) or flight (Megatron, Cheetor, Optimus Primal and Depth Charge). Although not explicitly stated in the cartoons or comics, it's hinted at in the toy line's tech specs that the quantum surge's transmetalization process essentially turned the Transformers 'inside out', making their alternate modes the one that is largely mechanical, instead of the other way around as normal. This can be born out by the fact that some Transmetals have organic elements in their robot mode despite having none visible in beast mode (Cheetor and Primal most prominently). Another added benefit was that the transmetal Transformers would become essentially invisible to Vok sensors - something Megatron used to his advantage when he tried to claim one of their ships.
Also of note was the fact that that in the animated series, several of the Maximals and Predacons weren't changed into transmetals by the quantum surge, although they did have transmetal toys. While their lack of transmetalized forms in the cartoon was explained for a few characters (specifically, Rhinox, Dinobot and Waspinator, who were in CR chambers recuperating from damage and Scorponok and Terrorsaur, who fell into a lava pool, presumably dying during their transmetallizations), the others weren't (Blackarachnia, Airazor, Inferno and Tigatron); however as these characters were all introduced as being 'born' from stasis pods who had landed on Earth prior to the wave, it is assumed by fans that this lent them protection from the wave. Also, although Scorponok is shown being affected by the transmetal wave, he does not receive a transmetal action figure despiting Terrorsaur who had a Transmetal action figure released, not including a premium offered by McDonald's in Happy Meals the following summer.
In the first part of the episode Other Visits, after the Maximals and Predacons were hit by an energon wave, the Transformers were knocked out, and in the second part, the regular ones were knocked offline due to energon buildup, while the transmetals, Silverbolt and Quickstrike were unaffected by the wave. This could mean one of two things: either Silverbolt and Quickstrike are partially transmetals (not completely as they feature organic elements in their beast modes as well as their robot modes), or the Fuzors (the whole faction) are partially transmetal.
Although their toys packaging were marketed as transmetal IIs, Tigerhawk and Megatron's new dragon form were not the same as other transmetal IIs in the television series; they did not use the Vok's Transmetal Driver to obtain their enhanced transmetal forms like the other transmetal II characters in the series. Tigerhawk became a transmetal II because of direct contact with the Vok. Megatron on the other hand received his body in the same way as Optimal Optimus—by taking a second spark into his body.
In IDW Publishing's mini-series Beast Wars: The Gathering some of the protoforms discovered had been turned into transmetal IIs because of interference from the quantum wave responsible for the original transmetals, implying that the Transmetal Driver is not the only way of obtaining a transmetal II body. According to the bios that came with some of the toys many more transmetal IIs were created by Megatron's cloning experiments - although no such origins appeared for these characters in the comics.

Potential county lake lease suitors will have until next month to present bids to the Oktibbeha County School Board.
The school board voted Monday to extend the lease proposal deadline to July 31 and re-advertise bids following a recommendation from the Secretary of State's office.
16th Section Land Manager Mike Ainsworth said only one proposal made it in before the previously set May 7 deadline, and one proposal came in late, rendering it invalid.
Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors President Marvell Howard also presented a plan during Monday's separate public hearing in which the county would take over the day-to-day operation of the property and its associated lease.
Under Howard's plan, an estimated $85,000 worth of tax dollars would be used to secure the 407-acre lease and hire one full-time employee to maintain the property. The employee's salary would start at $30,000, but insurance and social security costs would push the figure to $43,680.
The county would also need to take out $1 million in liability insurance.
"We've got four options: We can do nothing and lock the gates — that's off the table; the school board can operate it; we can hope a proposal will come in that's agreeable to this board and benefits the citizens and school board — we're hopeful for this; or we can do this 'in-case' option," Howard said during the board's public hearing on the matter. "The bottom line is a locked up county lake isn't good for anyone. We're trying to work through the problem and get direction. I think the consensus is to keep the county lake public."
An overwhelming majority of the 50-plus audience in attendance for Monday's public hearing agreed with Howard by showing support for a publicly accessible county lake. Many in attendance said the county should try to coax the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks — the previous lease holder — back to the negotiating table and share property expenses with the organization while it maintains the level of control it once had. Citizens also suggested challenging the county lake's recent reappraisal — almost $100 per acre — by securing an outside appraiser. Howard said the appraisal, which was approved by the Secretary of State's office, could be changed if an outside source developed a different price per acre and substantiated it enough for that office's approval.
At the end of the hearing, Howard said the board would sit back and see how many and what kind of proposals the school board received before taking any action on the matter.
Before the school board approved its action, Ainsworth also said Clyde Pritchard of Pritchard Engineering conducted a survey of the land to ascertain the 16th section's southeast corner. This corner's location had never been established before, he said, and as a result, it was uncertain whether the spillway controlling the lake's water level was inside or outside the 16th section's borders.
If the spillway was inside the borders, the OCSD would be responsible for it, Ainsworth said. However, it turned out to be outside the borders, he said, so it falls under the supervisors' purview.
"Without having a survey, we would not know that," Ainsworth said.
The board has set a July 1 deadline for the MWFPD to remove all of its improvements to the lake before those improvements become OCSD property, and Ainsworth said it is important to wait until after this deadline to begin evaluating proposals. In a related matter, Ainsworth said there are two RVs still parked on the property, costing the OCSD money for electricity and water. Bennie Jones, OCSD attorney, said the county would take action against the trespassers.
"The sheriff is aware of what's going on," Jones said. "We are working on getting them removed."

Press release from Business Wire
Citigroup Inc. Announces the Reference Yields and Total Consideration for Fixed Spread Offers
Tuesday, December 11, 2012
Citigroup Inc. Announces the Reference Yields and Total Consideration for Fixed Spread Offers12:00 EST Tuesday, December 11, 2012 NEW YORK (Business Wire) -- Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup") today announced the applicable Reference Yield and Total Consideration in the previously announced cash tender offers with respect to each series of Notes subject to the Fixed Spread Offers listed in the table below. Notes tendered pursuant to these Offers reflect Citigroup's continued robust liquidity position and are consistent with its recent liability management initiatives. Year-to-date, and excluding the Offers, Citigroup has decreased its outstanding long-term debt by approximately $13.9 billion through liability management initiatives, including the previously announced redemptions of trust preferred securities. Coupled with the ongoing natural maturing of long-term debt that requires no refinancing, these initiatives result in lower borrowing costs and reduce the overall level of Citigroup's long-term debt outstanding. Citigroup will continue to consider opportunities to repurchase its long-term as well as short-term debt based on several factors, including without limitation the economic value, potential impact on Citigroup's net interest margin and borrowing costs and the overall remaining tenor of its debt portfolio. The Fixed Spread Offers are being made pursuant to the offer to purchase dated November 21, 2012 (the "Offer to Purchase," as may be amended or supplemented from time to time), and the related letter of transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal," as may be amended or supplemented from time to time) which set forth in more detail the terms and conditions of the Fixed Spread Offers. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement shall have the meaning given to them in the Offer to Purchase. The Reference Yield and Total Consideration for each series of Notes subject to the Fixed Spread Offers were determined at or around 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 10, 2012 in accordance with the terms set forth in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the relevant Fixed Spread and the relevant Reference U.S. Treasury Security as follows: Fixed Spread OffersTitle of Security CUSIP / ISIN MaximumSeries TenderCap Reference U.S.Treasury Security BloombergReferencepage ReferenceYield Fixed Spread(basispoints) Early TenderPremium(1) Tender OfferConsideration(1) TotalConsideration(1) 6.500% Senior Notesdue 2013 172967EU1 /US172967EU16 $125,000,000 0.250% Treasurydue 10/31/2014 FIT1 0.240% 35 $30 $1,007.95 $1,037.95 6.000% SeniorNotes due 2013 172967FE6 /US172967FE64 $100,000,000 0.250% Treasurydue 10/31/2014 FIT1 0.240% 45 $30 $1,020.78 $1,050.78 5.125% SeniorNotes due 2014 172967CK5 /US172967CK51 $225,000,000 0.250% Treasurydue 10/31/2014 FIT1 0.240% 65 $30 $1,026.93 $1,056.93 5.500% SeniorNotes due 2014 172967EZ0 /US172967EZ03 $25,000,000 0.250% Treasurydue 10/31/2014 FIT1 0.240% 105 $30 $1,044.65 $1,074.65 6.010% SeniorNotes due 2015 172967FA4 /US172967FA43 $25,000,000 0.375% Treasurydue 11/15/2015 FIT1 0.316% 100 $30 $1,064.62 $1,094.62 4.750% SeniorNotes due 2015 172967FD8 /US172967FD81 $180,000,000 0.375% Treasurydue 11/15/2015 FIT1 0.316% 105 $30 $1,049.44 $1,079.44 4.700% SeniorNotes due 2015 172967CY5 /US172967CY55 $10,000,000 0.375% Treasurydue 11/15/2015 FIT1 0.316% 105 $30 $1,049.16 $1,079.16 4.587% SeniorNotes due 2015 172967FH9/US172967FH95 $25,000,000 0.375% Treasurydue 11/15/2015 FIT1 0.316% 115 $30 $1,060.28 $1,090.28 5.300% SeniorNotes due 2016 172967DE8 /US172967DE82 $25,000,000 0.750% Treasurydue 10/31/2017 FIT1 0.609% 90 $30 $1,081.78 $1,111.78 (1) Expressed in U.S. dollars per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes.

Ado-Ekiti — The Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has distributed cheques worth N121,150,000 as housing and car loans to 383 beneficiaries of the Local Government Loans scheme in the state.
On the distribution of loans, Fayemi said his administration was committed to the welfare of the workforce and is opening up avenues for them to benefit from government's largesse.
The loans, he said, was to assist the workers get money to build their personal houses and purchase their cars and consequently have time to focus on the job.
He advised the beneficiaries to make judicious use of the loan for the purpose for which it is meant.
Fayemi has also denied the recent rumours making the rounds that the state government has concluded plans to sack some local government workers in the state, following the outcome of the verification exercise embarked upon by the state government.
The governor, who cleared the air in Ado-Ekiti recently, described the rumour as untrue. According to him, government had neither retrenched nor has any plan to retrench the council workers, adding that the ongoing sanitation of the system should not be confused for retrenchment.
He explained that the ongoing sanitation exercise was aimed at proper placement of staff members for optimal performance as well as rid the system of people who have exceeded their years of service at the council through age falsification and other fraudulent means.
He advised that anyone who claimed to have been retrenched without justifiable reasons should protest the gesture through appropriate channels so that the case could be looked into.
Earlier, Chairman of the Local Government Service Commission (LGSC), Chief Ranti Adebisi, had commended the governor for the immediate restoration of the loan scheme and approval for prompt distribution of the loan.
Adebisi added that the local government workers were hardworking, honest and responsible people, who were ready to contribute their quota in restoring sanity to local government administration.
One of the beneficiaries, Adekile Bosede, commended the Fayemi-led administration for approving the loan; saying that the gesture shows that the administration is worker-friendly.

What are you going to do with your old bikes when you pass on?
I've been collecting for years and dearly love my bikes. I ride everyone of them. The big concern for me is what will happen to them when I die. Oddly enough I'm planning now how will get what to make sure they go to good deserving homes, to somene who will take care of them and enjoy them as I have. This means the collection will get split up some. I don't plan to sell to strangers but give to friends and family who as stated, will appreciate them.
I've had recommendations of leaving to a charity or some such but no way. It would just end up something to flip for a few dollars if done that way. Museums, no way, these bikes need ridden.
What do some of you plan on doing?
I got kid's and I am going to live and ride for at least 30 more years :evil
I read about a young lady who inherited an Indian Scout from her Grand Father.
I think if I'm dead it won't matter to me what happens to my bikes. My family yes.
hmm good question.. I guess depending on our financial situation I will tell my wife to sale if needed.. If not they will probably go to family/friends to enjoy :D
My wife will sell mine and keep the cash. She already knows what to ask for all of them. My kids are not interested in old bikes and a lot of young folks just don't care about them at all. They think we are old dottering fools. Their idea of something to collect will be OLD Taylor Swift or Justin Beiber albums:D. Either way ,I won't care anymore.
I care about your old bikes buls, and I'm only a 20 something... :deal but then again, I'm not normal. Who's Justin Beiber? :rofl
Seriously though, you speak the truth, it seems that the vast majority (but definitely not all) of kids/younger adults aren't interested in vintage/classic bikes, which is a shame :cry. I hope that changes for the positive in the next couple of decades, even in a small way.
FWIW, my take on this subject is that no matter what you own: motorcycles, cars, vintage tractors, baseball cards etc., it would be ideal to have everything clearly laid out and decided upon in one's will well in advance, so there's absolutely no question on who gets what. We've all seen, and likey experienced, families being torn apart by arguments over who gets one thing or another. It's not pretty and more often then not, turns downright ugly.
I'm taking mine with me!!!!!:rofl:rofl:rofl
TwinDuro called it though - have a good solid plan and have it written and notorized. May also consider letting some of them go to their new homes before you ride off into the sunset. Likely give you great joy to see them enjoyed anew and would settle any issue of ownership after your passing.
It looks like you have an interesting collection. I have a car that I likely will own for my entire life. To be honest, I hope it gets sold when I'm gone. I'd rather it disappear from anyone who knew me than have someone I know not take care of it or wrap it around a tree. My thought is that a paying next owner will "have skin in the game" compared to getting something for nothing and treating it as such.
My bike collection?
I married late and my wife has absolutely no interest in my bikes, my antique cars or my large memorabilia collection. I arranged with the Gilmore Auto Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan they would get the whole collection along with more than enough money to maintain them. My wife thought that was a good idea.

The Good Food Purchasing Policy (GFPP) harnesses the purchasing power of major institutions to encourage greater production of sustainably produced food, healthy eating habits, respect for workers' rights, humane treatment of animals and support for the local business economy by providing new opportunities for small and mid-sized farmers and job creation along the supply chain. By building the market for Good Food, GFPP will also provide low-income residents in urban communities access to affordable, healthy, fair and sustainable food options.
The GFPP initiative is the most comprehensive and metric-based food purchasing policy of its kind in the nation and was developed by the LA Food Policy Council (LAFPC). It is a model that can be easily adopted by other cities. Think LEED, but for Good Food. Just as LEED has provided a critical catalyst to the green building movement, we believe our pledge will be a catalyst for the sustainable food movement in Los Angeles and beyond. The successful implementation of LAFPC's program could create a ripple effect, inspiring other cities and states to take action.
The program promotes increasing levels of achievement in five crucial categories: (1) local economies, (2) environmental sustainability, (3) valued workforce, (4) animal welfare, and (5) nutrition. A tiered, points-based scoring system allows participants to choose which level of commitment best suits the Good Food goals of their organization. Participants are then awarded one to five stars based on their total score. To encourage participation, our program provides technical assistance in sourcing, monitoring progress, and measuring and recognizing success.
The GFPP was developed by taking into account the viewpoints of stakeholders from all aspects of the food system including farmers, food distributors, public health departments, labor, environmental and animal welfare organizations, restaurants and other large institutional food purchasers. Nearly 100 local and national experts from various fields provided input on the document and over two dozen prominent state and national organizations have publicly endorsed our guidelines.
Recent adoption of GFPP by the City of LA and LA Unified School District (LAUSD) marks a major accomplishment in the strengthening of a sustainable regional food system. On October 24, 2012, the City of Los Angeles became the first institution in the country to sign the Good Food Purchasing Pledge. Just weeks later, the Los Angeles Unified School District—which serves 650,000 meals each day and is the largest food purchaser in Los Angeles—became the second institution to sign on. Through this program, we are working to increase the consumption of Good Food and improve the quality of 750,000 meals served daily by LAUSD and City of LA nutrition programs and facilities. This will also create an economic shift to increase affordability and availability of Good Food, with resulting benefit to the water, air, and public health of all.
With a clear standard to aspire to, institutions will demand better ingredients from producers and provide better meals to consumers. From farm to table, we can change how we eat and change what we buy. We can vote with our food dollars, for a Good Food system, where all residents have access to the bounty of our foodshed. And L.A. can lead the way.
Read our recap of our National Food Day events, which highlights the history and early successes of the Good Food Purchasing Pledge through 2013.

Okay so the ideal situation is we find a mouse protocol that "gpm"
can use for both mice... we know that imps2 does works with the logitech
but not RemotePoint, we know that ps2 works with the RemotePoint but not
Below is a list of mouse protocols that gpm supports that I think are
likely to work with your mice... in the order I recommend trying them.
Basically put one of these into /etc/gpm.conf at a time, and try using
both mice on the console to see if you can move and paste with them.
(If you don't reboot after changing /etc/gpm.conf you will at least need
to restart gpm via the command: "/etc/init.d/gpm restart").
If you find any protocol that works stop and report back...
gpm 1.19.6, Thu Oct 4 00:21:21 CEST 2001
Available mouse types are:
name (synonym) description
autops2 - For PS/2 type mouse, specific protocol will be
auto detected
exps2 (ExplorerPS/2) - IntelliMouse Explorer (ps2) - 3 buttons
(wheel is repeated).
fuimps2 - For BROKEN wheel mice on a PS/2 port
(round connector with 6 pins), 3 buttons (wheel is repeated).
fups2 (PS/2) - For /BROKEN/ PS/2 mice (round with 6 metal pins).
imps2 - For the Microsoft IntelliMouse on a PS/2 port
(round connector with 6 pins), 3 buttons (wheel is repeated).
ps2 (PS/2) - For PS/2 mice (round with 6 metal pins).
If you don't find one that works with both mice and want to try more...
'gpm -t help' will give you a complete list of all mice types that
are supported... you can try the rest that look interesting.
If we don't find something that works with both mice, there are a few
- find a way to toggle between the two protocols that do work.
- abandon getting the mouse working on console and just work on in X.

Kent Rylee answers this question.
"Surveys in the past have shown that 52% of all vehicles are going to have a battery problem, so you need to make sure you check your battery periodically, because you don't want to be in that 52%. You want to be the 48%. And the way to do that is every time you go into your service department to get your oil changed, have them do a volt meter to your battery to make sure it has the right voltage to keep it started," said Rylee. "Even though it might not be a battery problem, it could be a starter problem or an alternator problem, it will show up in your battery. So that's the best way to keep your battery up and running as the best ability."
"When you're buying a battery, most batteries are the same. There's not that many people out there that this battery is 100 times better than this battery. Every one of them has a different price because you're buying a 40-month battery, a 72-month battery, different quote cold cranking amps which is very important depending on what kind of car you have or what kind of vehicle," said Rylee.
"I highly recommend the Napa battery. Napa is the only battery that is made in the USA, so we support our country and buy the napa batteries made in the USA. Price-wise difference, they're all about within the same price range, because a vehicle is specific to its battery. One thing you wanna make sure that you do is you can read your owner's manual, you can look at what the regional equipment manufacterer suggests. You need to use that same type of battery and of course, we highly recommend the Napa battery."

Quieter Now at Troubled Southside Property
Life has become a little quieter for Jason Devine. Devine and his family live next to the property at 1321 south 4th street that has had more police calls than any other in the city. But not since Oktoberfest. Devine tells us that it's been pretty quiet since Maple Leaf Saturday when there was fights and a stabbing and a shooting. A huge relief, he says
1321 south 4th was the first property in the city which was labeled a public nuisance under a new ordinance. The landlord has been fined and charged for police calls since then.

MAN'S best friend is smarter than many people like to think, say researchers in Germany. Although dogs can't quite read our minds, they seem to know what we can see.
Josep Call and his colleagues at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig tested dogs to see if they behave differently when they are being watched. Researchers placed treats on the floor in front of a number of dogs in turn, and forbade each animal to eat the food. As long as the person remained in the room, the dog rarely went for the food. But if the person left the room, the dog scoffed the treat within five seconds.
They tested the dogs' behaviour in greater detail: once with someone looking directly at the dog, once with a person playing a computer game, once with a person with their eyes shut, and once with someone sitting with ...
