September 2012 - A Larger Internet Tube
- Greetings
- Quick! Our short-notice meetup (and future meetups)
- Announcements, upgrades, and our to-do list
- What can we do better?
Greetings and salutations from the semi-secret offices above Spot Coffee! Seriously, though, you didn't know you could get up here until you visited, did you? You also might not have known that if you upgrade to a monthly membership, you can get a key to come up here nearly any time of day you want. Just sayin'.
Our third (last-minute) meetup is freaking tomorrow!
Sorry for the late notice, but you are invited to join us for free beer, soda, and snacks at the space this Thursday from 5-7pm. Immediately following is Third Thursday at Rohall's Corner, organized by CoworkBuffalo friend Chris Van Patten. RSVP if you can join us, and feel free to bring a friend:
- When: 5-7pm, Thursday, Sept. 20
- Where: 225 Delaware Ave., Buffalo, NY
- What: We close our laptops and socialize, like humans do We invite you all to have a drink on us and meet your fellow coworkers.
- RSVP: Whatever works best for you: email us at firstname.lastname@example.com with a quick "I'll be there," tweet at@coworkbuffalo, or use a laser etching machine to burn a smiley face onto an aluminum dog tag and slide it through our mail slot.
Announcements, upgrades, and our to-do list
The running joke at CoworkBuffalo (at least, running in one writer's head) is that CoworkBuffalo is like a 22-year-old kid just out of college, outfitting their first adult apartment. Along those lines, we've made a bunch of small but hopefully nice improvements to the space of late, but also one big jump. Read on:
Recent changes/news
- Switching to Time Warner "Business Class" internet: Verizon Business DSL? It was getting the job done, especially at first. But now that we have more members more often, and those members are getting used to getting more intense work done here, we're feeling the need—the need for 80's action movie references. And speed! So we moved up to 10 mbps downloads and a reliable 1 mbps upstream, with a promised < 40 ms relay time. The installer comes Thursday afternoon.
- We're getting an actual phone in the phone booth: As part of the TWCBC installation (and their somewhat insane bundled pricing), we'll have a VoIP phone connection available. That means we're going to install an actual phone in the phone booth, likely with the help of the smart and cool Buffalo Lab folks.
- Thermos, dish rack, bigger loose-leaf tea pot, towel holder, coaster: Mom would be so proud. But most of all, now you can enjoy rather hot coffee throughout the day, without having to time it to one of the founders' coffee-making whims. Thanks to Chris Van Patten for the tea pot, Engine Yard for the coasters, and IKEA for everything else.
- Schedule a meeting in our adjoining office: We are in the slow process of taking over one of our co-founder's office spaces, in the adjoining Suite 9 area. In the meantime, we'd like to invite you to consider requesting that space available for meetings with clients or coworkers. Simply send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, or ask one of us in-person, and we'll check to see if you can't borrow the table, whiteboard, and closed door for a bit.
Coming soon
- Couch. Couch.
- Better monthly member auto-pay: The Stripe/Desktime system we've been testing has been making notable strides of late, and we're hoping to have it implemented into our own payment/attendance system soon. That mean seeing who's at the space now, paying for monthly memberships from wherever you are, and not needing to track your own 10-packs. Neat.
- Stickers: Stickers!
We want to hear from folks who have been to or toured CoworkBuffalo what we can do to make it better. Ping us at email@example.com with thoughts, questions, considerations, and items for our to-do, to-buy, and to-brew list.

The staff at For Paws is very knowledgeable and friendly. I have a large dog and she has plenty of room to run and play with other dogs. Every time I drop off my dog, she can't wait to go and play with her friends. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that all dogs have a comfortable stay. They provide options for agility and training. My dog went to another doggy daycare once, and the staff was rude, plus someone stepped on my dog's paw and broke her claw- they didn't mention anything when I picked her up. For Paws staff actually trimmed her claw because they thought it happened there.

Life Groups at Bethel are our way of making a larger group smaller.
We value connecting with others in a smaller community for the sake of discipleship (biblical truth transferred through relationships); body care (meeting and caring for the needs of those within the Bethel body); mission (looking for ways to serve those in our local communities and engaging them with the Gospel).
Groups of 8-12 people gather in a home to discuss our weekend message, share life, and pray together. Our primary mode is groups organized as much by region and time as possible. However, we do have affinity groups (men's, women's, etc.). We want you to come to Bethel on the weekends and be fed. But, we don't want Bethel to be a church that is limited to weekends. So, join a Life Group and begin living life together with others from our local body.

Small Animal Imaging Facility
Stanford Center for Innovation in In-Vivo Imaging (SCI3)
The mission of the Stanford Center for Innovation in In-Vivo Imaging (SCI3) is the application and advancement of technologies for in-vivo biological assessment and imaging in animal models. The instrumentation will support the development of reagents and approaches that will reveal in-vivo changes at the molecular and cellular level such that a greater understanding can be gained in animal models.
In this manner the power of repeated measures can be applied to these models enriching the data sets and improving the statistics. This core will provide a test bed for evaluating human imaging reagents and strategies.
The flexibility and rapid analyses of the animal models will greatly accelerate the development of these molecular imaging strategies as well as novel therapeutic strategies for a variety of diseases. The Clark Building houses the SCI3 core resources and instrumentation.

Theatre du Pif explores Kafka's world in Nocturnal Vista
Theatre du Pif's new production "Nocturnal Vista", to be staged in December, explores the world of one of the most influential writers of the 20th century – Franz Kafka.
Through storytelling, drama, visual imagery and music, the company aims to capture the vast landscape of Kafka's extraordinary imagination as well as the startling absurdity and poignancy of his words. The production will be accessible and engaging and will focus mainly on Kafka's masterpiece "Metamorphosis" as well as two of his shorter tales, "Before the Law" and "The Vulture".
Theatre du Pif's Bonni Chan and Sean Curran devised this latest production. Joined by Korean theatre designer Lee Yun-soo, UK performer Alasdair Satchel (artistic director of Perhilion Theatre Company) as well as local actors, Kafka's dream-like visions will be turned into an electrifying reality on stage.
A man awoke one morning and found himself transformed into a giant cockroach...
A vulture was hacking at a woman's feet, her boots and stockings were already torn to threads...
They waited outside the doors... and in front of each door stood a fearsome doorkeeper…
"Nocturnal Vista", presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, will be staged from December 15 to 17 (Friday to Sunday) at the Studio Theatre, Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Tickets priced at $100 and $160 are now available at all URBTIX outlets. Half-price tickets are available for senior citizens, people with disabilities, full-time students and Comprehensive Social Security Assistant (CSSA) recipients (limited tickets for students and CSSA recipients are available on a first-come, first-served basis). Please check out programme leaflet for the group booking discount scheme.
For programme enquiries, please call 2268 7323 or visit the following websites:
. For reservations, please call 2734-9009. For credit card bookings, please call 2111 5999. To book online, please visit,

Our staff gets to know each animal's personality and special needs. Your pet will have 24-hour access to fresh water, will enjoy quiet music and can have either your bedding or ours to lie on and relax.
We encourage you to bring blankets, towels, or pillowcases from home that are not freshly laundered, so your dog or cat will be reminded of his family and loved ones. We suggest that you bring your pet's regular food, or if you prefer, we can supply Purina pet food. There are no additional fees for bringing your pet's own food or for giving medication.
All pet accommodations are cleaned daily.
Our indoor dog runs are 3.5' x 6.5' for a total area of nearly 23 square feet. Dogs will also have access four times per day to outdoor runs. Our kennel runs are cleaned and sanitized daily.
Please bring a few chew toys for your dog or some favorite but replaceable toys. All belongings should be identified. We cannot be responsible for toys and bedding.
For an additional fee, your dog will receive one-on-one walks with a caring staff person who will take your dog outside, away from other dogs for 20 minutes to walk, stretch his legs and have a good sniff outdoors.
Cats each have individual "cubbies" that measure approximately 3 1/2' X 2 1/2' X 2 1/2'. Each cubbie has a small condo, room for a litter box, and room to lie down. Cats get out several times a day to run and have fun in our roomy cat play area. The cat play area features a six foot high "cat tree" to play on.
Also available is a "cat suite," ideal for homes with multiple cats, up to four total. The cat suite is a large space, complete with two five-foot cat trees, two litters boxes, and a window! This spacious area can be reserved for a solo cat, at a price of $46 per day.
You can bring in your pet's housing, or we can provide it for them.

ZIMBABWE'S civil society organisations (CSOs) have of late been criss-crossing the Southern African Development Community (SADC), pushing regional leaders to ensure that partners in the inclusive government fully implement the Global Political Agreement (GPA) ahead of next year's polls.
CSOs under the Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition banner were in Tanzania and Mozambique last week where they met their counterparts and government officials to bring to their attention the political crisis in Harare.
They also explained to their hosts why they believed Zimbabwe was still not ready to have elections whose outcome would be universally accepted, citing the lack of requisite political reforms ahead of the polls.
With the new constitution expected to lead to fresh elections, the stalemate on the draft charter dominated proceedings in Tanzania and Mozambique amid fears among the CSOs that Zimbabweans could be forced to stage fresh polls under the compromise Lancaster House document which ushered in Zimbabwe's independence in 1980 due to the squabbling over the draft charter.
The present Constitution was amended 19 times. Critics say it favours ZANU-PF by giving its leader wide-sweeping Executive powers before, during and after elections.
ZANU-PF opponents are therefore pressing for the dilution of Presidential powers with President Robert Mugabe's party fiercely opposing such moves.
As such, ZANU-PF and the two formations of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) are deadlocked over several sticky issues, among them Executive powers, devolution of power, citizenship and the establishment of both the constitutional court and a national prosecuting authority, among other issues.
In a bid to find common ground, President Mugabe, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai and Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara agreed last week to set-up a Cabinet taskforce to recommend the way forward.
CSOs have smelt a rat and have asked regional leaders to impress on the Zimbabwean principals not to hijack the writing of the new supreme law of the land.
In October, the CSOs dispatched delegations to Malawi and Zambia to highlight the political situation in Zimbabwe, particularly the resurgence of politically-motivated violence in some parts of the country ahead of polls.
The delegations also pointed out that the country's voters' roll was in shambles and that nothing much had been achieved in reforming the media.
The CSOs are however, being accused of doing the bidding for the MDC-T and taking advantage of the generosity of the international donor community to enrich themselves under the guise of advancing democracy. ZANU-PF deems most CSOs' activities as regime change projects bent on pushing for the removal of President Mugabe from power.
Representatives of the CSOs deny these allegations saying there were merely demanding democratic leadership in Zimbabwe through free and fair polls.
Bekithemba Mpofu, a political analyst based in the United Kingdom, said CSOs were within their mandate to further Zimbabwe's democracy.
He said some of the CSOs were now questioning the moral campus of the major parties in the GPA to push for the implementation of SADC resolutions in the wake of the constitutional stalemate.
"The fact that Mutambara continues to attend meetings as a principal in the presence of two major parties provides some level of credibility to these views. Given this perceived lack of cross party willingness to implement SADC resolutions particularly those that do not benefit each party, engaging and convincing SADC leaders could present a challenge this time around.
"With cross-party commitment questioned, it is appropriate that parties encourage sympathetic non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to lead any push for the implementation of SADC resolutions," he said.
There are also some who believe that CSOs should let politicians and their respective political parties do the lobby, instead of leaving such an important function to NGOs accountable to their foreign funders.
Fiery MDC-T critic, Psychology Maziwisa, described the regional lobby as part of a well calculated plan to discredit ZANU-PF.
"And that's why their continued desire to see restrictions on our diamonds was recently shunned by South Africa, Tanzania, Namibia and Botswana at the diamond conference in Victoria Falls three weeks back and in Washington DC recently. They are wasting their time and should instead be advising the MDC-T to refrain from corruption and empty economic policies," he said.
"But I wonder on what basis they will do that because the next election is most likely going to be endorsed by many as free and fair. I say this because President Mugabe's call for non-violence appears to have been taken very seriously by all stakeholders," added Maziwisa.
While CSOs have the right and mandate to lobby SADC ahead of polls, Trevor Maisiri of the International Crisis Group, said it was the content of the lobby and advocacy that determined if the activities were political party driven or non-partisan.
Maisiri said issues to do with free and fair elections; economic justice; democracy building; extractive mineral resources equity; and human rights promotion were all justifiable agendas for all broad and genuine civil society and NGOs to lobby and advocate for.
However, civil society and NGOs must ensure that they carry a message on behalf of the citizens and ordinary people of Zimbabwe and not individual political parties.
"They must carry issues that serve the state and not political parties. However, and unavoidably there will be instances where issues highlighted by NGOs or civil society will concur with those raised by political parties and vice versa.
"The key, however, is for NGOs and civil society to ultimately avoid the temptation of being political party spring boards. Political parties must also desist from manipulating civil society and NGOs or forming their own NGOs and civil society organisations for that matter; that is the hallmark of poor governance," he said.
Lawton Hikwa, a Bulawayo-based political analyst, said CSOs were inevitably interested in the political processes in countries in which they are domiciled, given that their objective is to complement the efforts of their host government.
In this particular case, CSOs are concerned that the GPA has not been completely implemented; raising doubts on whether or not the constitution referendum and the elections would be free and fair.
Hikwa said while it was expected that some of the CSOs would be viewed as appendages of this or that political party, "nevertheless, one should also point out that there are those NGOs whose political inclination is not apparent and consequently whose intentions are almost genuinely for the betterment of the environment before and after the referendum and elections".

Travel, friends, great food and good times
A day hiking in the woods, walking my dog early in the morning when it's quiet, running around the park with my niece or enjoying brunch with friends is what makes me smile. Traveling the world and always finding something to learn keeps me entertained. And, meeting new people just to hear their story is a favorite pastime. I'm looking for someone with the same love of life, who dreams big and appreciates the small things. Ambition is my favorite quality in a person and not for the sake of earning more, but for the sake of growing yourself, learning and wanting to discover what's next. But we all know it comes down to chemistry - so send a message and let's go from there!

At 8:45 p.m., the victim was approached by a suspect who asked her for a cigarette. As the victim looked through her purse, a second suspect grabbed her from behind and demanded her purse. The first suspect had a box cutter and cut her on the hand as he was taking her purse. The suspects fled the location with the victim's purse.
The victim's purse was found a short distance from where the victim stated that the robbery occurred. A box cutter was also recovered. The victim reported the the only thing missing from her purse was her medication.

|Are you using public funds in your campaign?
|Do you have any sort of a criminal record or any outstanding civil judgments? Please be specific.
|What is the best piece of political advice you ever received?
|The best political advice I received was to remember that you cannot please everyone and by following your heart and your head the right decisions will be made
|What character trait best serves a public official?
|Openness and honesty best serve any elected official
|What character flaw most harms a public official?
|Large egos are detrimental to any public official; once �I did this or I did that� crops up they no longer realize they are part of a much larger body making the decisions.
|What is your favorite book (besides a spiritual text)?
|I am an avid reader so it is difficult to choose one, but �To Kill a Mockingbird�,
�The Kite Runner� and �Memoirs of a Geisha� are amongst my top choices
|What is your favorite place in Arizona?
|One of my favorite places in Arizona, other than Scottsdale, is Sedona because of the red rocks and peaceful lifestyle.
|Which Arizona political figure past or present do you most admire and why?
|I most admire Senator Carolyn Allen because of her courage of conviction. Senator Allen continually demonstrates a willingness to do what is right for Arizona and often reaches across the aisle to build collaborative alliances when solving the tough issues.
|Why are you running for school board?
|I am running again because I believe my involvement in the community coupled with my experience on the Board would serve the school district well. I have a proven track record over the last four years in demonstrating fiscal responsibility and a commitment to doing what is right for children.
|Describe the top three educational challenges your district will face in the coming school year and explain your strategies to overcome those challenges.
|Funding � Dealing with diminished resources to accomplish increased needs and mandates. Strategy � continue to work with legislative body to insure funding is provided for public education. And continue to develop revenue opportunities within our district to add increased dollars to our limited budget.
|Meaningful Student Evaluations � Ensuring that student progress is measured and articulated effectively through all grade levels. Especially in this time of AIMS testing where the singular focus is placed on one test. We should be looking at the whole child and their individual needs versus the measurement of one test and monitor benchmark testing to ensure it is not excessive and is meaningful and useful.
Strategy � continue to work with administration and teachers to develop individualized learning plans for each student and guide them through their academic career for success.
|Moving our students and schools into the 21st century � Utilizing technology, highly qualified teachers and the most innovative instructional methods to prepare our children for an extrememely diverse and global workforce.
Strategy � Continue to support professional development of our teachers to bring them to highly qualified status as well as ensuring our administrators are instructional leaders on their campuses. These elements in tandem with the technology, more rigor and relevance in science and math and increased foreign language opportunities should best prepare our students for a competitive world market.
|What spending issues in your district's budget do you challenge and what would you do instead?
|I have always been cautious about budget items that do not serve or meet the needs of the vast population. My best practice has always been to ensure we are maximizing our scant resources to benefit all children.
|While school districts cannot advocate an override, what can be done to help market an override for districts that have had recent defeats?
|The best way to market an override or bond measure is through greater communication and education of the community voters to explain how public schools are funded and the need for ballot measures to augment the budget.
|What effect has the emphasis placed on high results on the AIMS test had on your district, schools and personnel? Do you think it should be a high school graduation requirement?
|With the mandate of AIMS, a tremendous amount of time and energy is devoted to students passing the exam. Often there is a loss of creativity in the classroom because teachers are forced to teach to the test. High stakes testing only shows a snapshot of achievement and risks adverse consequences such as higher drop out rates. Testing in combination with grades and teacher evaluations could provide a more critical measurement of the student�s abilities.
|What role should schools play in issues such as sex education and preventing alcohol/drug abuse and teen suicide?
|Schools should do what schools do best and educate students. Students should always be presented with factual information as well as adverse consequences of their decisions while allowing for open and interactive discussions.
|Should more schools in your district consider requiring uniforms or more standardized dress? Why or why not?
|As a parent I would love to save money and have my children wear uniforms. However, we are a public school system and these decisions are made at the sole discretion of each campus and their respective communities.
|What should your district do if anything to compete with charter schools, private schools and neighboring school districts? What should your district do to boost student enrollment?
|SUSD competes best with charter, private or neighboring school districts with our programs. We have many specialized offerings in addition to a strong commitment to the fine arts and athletics. This is something many neighboring districts and charter schools have had to cut due to budgetary constraints. The best way to boost our enrollment is to market the programs we have in place and continue to increase our curricular offerings.
|Are there any particular programs or programs in the curriculum that you'd like to see changed? Please explain.
|Middle Schools are always a source of continuous improvement. While progress has been made to increase the relevance and rigor of the curriculum we need to continually update and strengthen the core classes as well as expand exploratory options available.
|Are you satisfied with the performance of the superintendent and overall district leadership?
|SUSD has been fortunate to have had four years of financial stability, relative calm and a collaborative environment. With Dr. Baracy�s imminent retirement, I foresee no reason why the district could not proceed in the same positive direction. After experiencing such a positive time of growth, it is incumbent upon the Board to ensure that we hire another experienced and effective leader.
|Are you satisfied with the technology available to teachers and students in the district? If so, explain. If not, what specific technology would you support?
|No. But, I will be satisfied with the technology available to our teachers as we continue to effectively put our technology plan in place from the capital override funding.
|How do you feel about year-round schools?
|Personally, I do not favor year round schools as there is limited evidence supporting the benefit of this calendar.
|Do you feel your district sufficiently communicates with parents and the community? If not, how would you improve that communication? How can you get the community more involved in schools?
|I feel that SUSD has made great strides in increasing communication with parents and the community as a whole. However, this is another area where continuous improvement is needed. At the school level web sites need continual updating, emails and newsletters should be sent consistently. And the utilization of the parent notification system should not only be for emergency purposes but for important updates also. The introduction of �School Fusion� has been a great start to open communication lines between parents and schools. The district also needs to continually update web sites and provide constant and consistent communication with the community as a whole. Phone calls and emails should be answered in a timely manner without exception. And, Board meetings should be televised to allow greater accessibility to the general population.
|If redistricting is an issue for your school district on the November ballot, what do you think about the issue? Are you in favor or opposed? Why?
|With the closing of the Thomas J. Pappas Schools for the homeless this year, how should districts serve the influx of these students?
|Every reasonable accommodation should be made for all students attending our schools. We welcome every child and we will continue to support our campuses that have social services and family guidance needs.
|What changes if any do you think should be made to the No Child Left Behind Act? How has NCLB affected your school district?
|The greatest change that needs to be made to NCLB is funding. The numerous unfunded mandates that we have to meet are crippling our already diminished resources.
|How long have you lived in the district?
|I have lived in the district for 20 years.
|Do you have children in the district? If so, what schools do they attend and what grades?
|My oldest daughter recently graduated Desert Mountain High School and now attends the University of Arizona. My younger daughter is a junior at Desert Mountain High School and I have a 6th grade son at Mountainside Middle School.

The latest of many recent and exciting updates surrounding the 2013 Perth Fashion Festival will have Perth fashionistas anticipating the captivating and original designs at one of the Festival's most popular runway shows.
For the second year running, The National Showcase is dedicated to celebrating the talent which exists amongst east coast fashion designers and aims to bring the best Spring Summer 13/14 collections to fashion enthusiasts in Perth. This year's exciting line up promises to bring a fresh mix from nationally celebrated labels, Desert Designs, We Are Handsome and Gorman.
Desert Designs is a label that since it's inception in 1988, has celebrated the beauty of an Australian life and landscape. As the label has grown, the primary focus has remained to embody Australian culture, existing in modern Aboriginal art and Australia's collective consciousness. However, as creative directors Jedda Daisy-Culley and Caroline Wels continue to evolve the label, more emphasis has been placed on the uniquely Australian desert aesthetic. The latest collection, which will show at Fashion Paramount in September, reflects the art, stories and country of Jimmy Pike and will be a vision of prints that emulate a truly Australian scene.
Another label that depicts an Australian lifestyle through it's use of digital prints is We Are Handsome. A swimwear label which first launched in the Summer of 2009, has made a splash with it's colourful palettes and inspiring prints which fittingly, illustrate the beauty of sun-drenched scenery on carefully cut swimwear garments.
Gorman debuted it's first collection in Fitzroy, Melbourne over a decade ago and since then has been an iconic part of the Australian fashion landscape. With it's quirky prints and eponymous edge, Lisa Gorman still takes inspiration from her surroundings in Fitzroy to recreate the label's abstract designs. Her SS13/14 collection will focus on block prints, bold colours and the use of geometry.
Don't miss out on securing your seat to one of the hottest shows at Fashion Paramount. Get your ticket here before they sell out!

Preserving a symbolic foundation of small-town history … one brick at a time
With precision, care and help from select Bobcat® equipment, Nebraska-based companies complete an intricate water line upgrade and underground electrical installation while maintaining the integrity of a century-old Main Street.
Thompson Construction's Bobcat skid-steer loader
Main Street of the eastern Nebraska town of Scribner (pop. 980) is built of brick. To locals, the thousands of bricks, so intricately bound and woven together, serve as visual representations that reflect the attributes of their community — strong, supportive, steadfast. Aside from the constant rigors of daily traffic, the street has endured floods, blizzards, intense heat and frigid cold for nearly a century.
Scribner has come a long way from the days when the water source consisted of a series of cisterns along Main Street. The cistern configuration was long ago replaced by the current network of underground waterlines, although concerns about the capacity of the system prompted city officials to explore the feasibility of an upgrade. With municipal budgets tight, the town looked for assistance in helping fund the project.
"We rolled up our sleeves and got to work in search of funding options," said Deb Eggleston, Scribner's economic development director. "We had worked with several state and federal organizations in the past that were very helpful in identifying opportunities and securing funds. The city was able to allocate additional dollars for storefront improvements, things like building preservation, window and door replacement and ADA accessibility."
Linear jigsaw puzzle
Scribner city officials tapped Kearney, Neb., engineering firm Miller and Associates to design the project. In addition to the water line upgrade, two new underground electrical mainlines were also specified, each spanning a two-block stretch on opposite sides of the street. City officials chose Thompson Construction, based in nearby Arlington, Neb., as the general contractor after an extensive bidding process.
Founded in 1980, Thompson Construction is a family-owned, full-service contractor that specializes in underground utility installations. The company focuses primarily on water, sanitary and storm sewer work, in addition to substation installs. Thompson subcontracted the electrical portion of the project to Klein Electric, another family-owned business, based in Wakefield, Neb. In addition to the underground electrical mainlines, Klein Electric also installed new streetlamps and related components.
The plan specified that the two new water lines be installed using the open-cut/trench method and the electrical lines by horizontal directional drilling. It was the trenching and digging component that had townspeople concerned. "Maintaining the integrity of the nearly century-old brick street was important to us," Eggleston says. "It is a part of the fabric of our community and we felt confident Thompson was sensitive to that, and would do everything they could to preserve it."
Kelly Thompson, company president and one of three Thompson brothers involved in the family-operated business, admits he likely underestimated the amount of time and labor involved with removing, cleaning and replacing the thousands of individual bricks that would be displaced by two open-cut trenches flanking opposite sides of Scribner's Main Street to make way for the new water lines.
"We had done similar bricked main street projects like this in the past but on a much smaller scale," Thompson says. "Making all the components mesh in a linear fashion was a bit of a challenge, especially with different elevations of doors and access to the affected storefronts. As you can imagine, after nearly a century, the street isn't perfect. It had some bumps and rolls in it."
Bobcat equipment on-site
Both Thompson and Klein used Bobcat skid-steer and compact track loaders to assist with the installations. Thompson also had its Bobcat compact excavator on site. Both contractors have long been Bobcat equipment supporters. In addition to the excavator, Thompson has two Bobcat skid-steer loaders among its fleet of equipment. The company also has a wide variety of complementary attachments for each model, including a hydraulic breaker, type of blade and several different size buckets for the excavator, a vibratory roller, compaction wheel, various configurations of grapples, several buckets and an angle broom.
"The versatility is probably the biggest advantage for compact equipment," Thompson says. "There wasn't much room to work between the business fronts and the street since we had to remove nearly half of the sidewalk to prepare the waterline trenches. It was pretty tight. The compact size and maneuverability of the skid-steer loaders was critical due to workspace limitations."
Eric Klein joined his father Mark in the family business after graduation from Northeast Community College in nearby Norfolk, Neb. He bought a Bobcat compact track loader to help ease much of the manual labor associated with a variety of tasks for different types of electrical installations. Klein also purchased several attachments to extend the functionality of the compact track loader, including pallet forks, an auger and a dozer blade.
"We do so many different things with the T140 on different jobsites that make the project go faster and more efficiently for us," Klein says. "We really like the visibility. It is easy to see out in all directions. We do a lot of dirt work and trenching and the Bobcat compact track loader is always on site with us. And the pallet fork saves a lot of backbreaking labor for unloading trucks and moving materials around on a jobsite.
"All our employees enjoy operating it," Klein says. "Some prefer using the sticks (hand controls), while others like the foot pedals. There's very little learning curve needed for switching back and forth between operational modes. The machines' designs are very operator-friendly. One flip of a switch allows the operator to select the control mode he's most comfortable with."

The energy balance of hydrogen isotopes in H bonds of water and biomolecules results in accumulative tritium transfer from water into biomolecules. Tests of DNA dissolved in tritiated water and of maize or barley hydroponically grown in tritiated water confirm the increase. The primary hydration shell of DNA shows an accumulation factor of ~1.4, and the exchangeable hydrogens inside DNA show ~2. Logistic growth analyses of maize and barley reveal the intrinsic growth rates of tritium 1.3 and 1.2 times larger than that of hydrogen. The higher rate of tritium than hydrogen incorporation in solid biomatter is caused by the hydration shells, which constitute an intrinsic component of biomolecules.

Namibia returns to Namibia via London in 'Legacies of a Colonial Town', an award-winning photographic exhibition on architecture and places in Namibia curated by Phillip Lühl on behalf of the Department of Architecture at the Polytechnic of Namibia (PoN).
Presenting a timeline collage of historical images, maps and drawings juxtaposed with contemporary aspects of the city, while revealing its architecture and its inhabitation, the exhibition endeavours to expose some of the lasting legacies of Namibia's colonial history, and the contrasting spatial realities that define the contemporary, post-colonial city.
The exhibition was first shown as part of the British Council's Architecture and Design Showcase (IADS) in London in July 2012 where it won the Silver Pigeon Award for the best national contribution at the London Festival of Architecture 2012.
The award-winning collection of archival materials, artworks, and photographs can now be viewed at the National Art Gallery of Namibian (NAGN), and curator Phillip Lühl hopes it will inspire patrons to collectively think about the future of our country.
"For me it is important because I feel that we are continuing to develop our cities and towns roughly along the lines that were originally laid out in colonial times, and especially through apartheid planning in the 60s and 70s," says Lühl.
"Our everyday lives are much more influenced by the spatial legacy of that history than many of us would acknowledge. As a recently independent country, I think it is high time to collectively think about the future of our cities and how we can overcome some of those legacies of segregation, of inequality and of modernist planning."
Though Lühl admits the exhibition is not comprehensive, he hopes it will help raise some discussion around topics like urbanisation, housing, public space and public buildings.
To further these discussions, and in conjunction with the exhibition, there will be a series of public events organised around the topics of art and public space, architecture and urbanisation.
Usually these events take place on Saturday mornings, as the NAGN recently extended its opening times to welcome people on Saturdays. These events will be announced in due course.
'Legacies of a Colonial Town' will officially open at 18h00 on January 23 and will run until February 23 at the NAGN. Thereafter there will be refreshments and live music from the Original Jazz Masters. For more info: 061-231160 or email: email@example.com

Kenton County School District
2012-13 Prep/Prep+ Academic Acceleration Program
Beginning in the 2012-13 school year, the Kenton County School District will implement the Prep and Prep+ Academic Acceleration Program. Prep and Prep+ is a student selected program based on required criteria for identification that will provide a rigorous and challenging curriculum in Language Arts and Math for students in grades 5 and above. The Program is intentionally outlined course by course to provide students an accelerated content learning experience. The program is designed so students will be placed into AP (Advanced Placement) or dual credit courses at the high school level with the goal for the student to receive college/university credit before graduating from high school.
The Kenton County School District wants to insure our identified high achieving students are receiving a well designed, rigorous curriculum based on the Kentucky Core Academic Standards. The focus is on Language Arts and Math at this time. The curriculum will provide student opportunities to think critically, problem solve and take ownership of their learning.

My bike starts instantly, does not surge, does not smell of fuel, has clean plugs and exhaust and hammers to the rev limiter.
Here's a picture which I think will make it easier to understand.
Now this is what I did. Jet size 80 goes from position 2 to 3. Replace the 80 with a 100 in position 2. Standard main air leak jet in position 1 stays. Replace the low-speed jet in position 4 with a 45 (from 42). Position 5 now has main jet 180 in the front carby and 182 in the rear. I should be running leaner than this with my altitude but this gives me a happy 42mpg (we have 4.5 litres to the gallon). Position 6 the starter jet stays at 68. My IMS in position 7 is now changed using the flexjets (2 turns out). Float level is set at 3mm.
The slide operates quicker if you drill the two holes that are either side of the needle out to 3mm. I also moved my clip to 3 position from the top (2nd is standard - standard needles). But this is a change you can do easy with the carbs installed. Also my hoses are vented separately measuring 275mm for the front and 250mm for the rear. Position the hose clamps that hold the carbs so they can be undone from the right side (only right side tank needs to be removed to gain access to carbs
All my jets came from RockymountainATV (dirt cheap) and if they didn't have it these guys are exceptional.
I jetted this way due to the recommendations of a legend in OZ (K2m) that road with a wideband testing the best jets to get the right air to fuel ratio's.
Disclaimer: Use at own risk but my only downfall is decel cackle and popping. Sound's very 'old school' (read ducati) and I don't mind it
. At the end of the day the jets you need are as 'cheap as chips' and now everything is easy to get to, it's worth experimenting.
Pretty wild stuff! K2M has done more than anyone to figure out these carbs...
Ever dyno'd this or checked it out with the AFR meter?

(AFP) / 7 January 2013
JERUSALEM - Stormy weather, including high winds and heavy rainfall, lashed Israel and the Palestinian territories on Monday, downing powerlines and trees and causing several injuries.
"The storms injured six people, most of whom were lightly hurt when trees were knocked over," Israeli police spokeswoman Luba Samri told AFP.
Israeli military radio said winds were gusting at speeds of up to 120 kilometres per hour (74 miles per hour) and in neighbourhoods across Jerusalem, the results were clear.
Trees were toppled at the Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif complex that houses the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa mosques, and branches were strewn in streets across the city.
Electricity outages caused by downed power lines were reported throughout the country.
Israel's meteorological service says this winter will be wettest in the last decade, and with temperatures expected to plunge in coming days, much of the country could see snow this week.
In the West Bank, civil protection spokesman Louai Bani Odeh said no injuries had been reported so far.
He told AFP that an electrical fire started by flooding broke out in a house in a village near the northern West Bank city of Nablus, but was brought under control without injuring anyone.
"Many roads in towns and villages across the West Bank are flooded. Some of them are blocked by trees and billboards that were knocked over. Many shops are closed," he said.

Home > Squash Doubles Products
Welcome to SquashGalaxy. Whether you're an aspiring or accomplished doubles player, here are some thoughts on racquets for your next purchase.
Racquet Design: In general, teardrop frames offer a longer but narrower sweet spot, while bridge frames offer a shorter but wider one. In singles a longer sweet spot is useful for reaching the ball - like when you're desperately trying to lob out of the front of the court! In doubles, players more often have to deal with the ball flying through the middle of the court, and a bridge frame offers a more forgiving sweet spot for this. Bridge frames also generate less torque when striking the ball, meaning the racquet is less likely to twist in your hand.
Weight and Stiffness: Many players prefer a slightly heavier frame (140g+) for doubles. While you might find 120g frames on the singles court, these are rare on the doubles court. And you probably won't find many flexible, "whippy" racquets either. The greater resistance from the heavier doubles ball can be countered by a stiffer and heavier racquet, strung tighter than in singles. Imagine trying to play tennis with a squash racquet - the ball would overpower the frame! While a doubles ball is not THAT different from a singles ball, a slightly heavier and/or stiffer racquet will benefit most players.
Balance: Generally, a head-light racquet offers great control and is easier to volley with than a head-heavy racquet. Since the balance rests closer to the player's hand, the player can more easily control the racquet, especially with a short swing - it takes less to get the racquet moving. Great control and easier volleys are essential for doubles, given how fast the ball moves across the middle.
Obviously, personal preference plays a big role in what racquet a player will like! But for doubles, the vast majority of players will be well served by a head-light bridge frame that's slightly heavier and stiffer than their singles racquet.

Program Expenses
Please be advised that students accepted into the SIU – SOM Physician Assistant Program will incur higher tuition rates than other
SIU Graduate students.
Tuition rates are established by the SIU Board of Trustees and are competitive with other Physician Assistant programs. Students accepted into the Physician Assistant (PA) Program will have expenses in addition to the University's tuition and fees (see below).
The tuition and fee calculator for both Illinois Residents and Non-Illinois Residents can be accessed at the following link: http://tuition.siuc.edu/calc.html To determine tuition and fees, select the calculator for the MSPA Program or the Master's Completion Program at the bottom of that page. The Master's Completion Program is offered only to those applicants who are already PAs and hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited PA Program. Please be advised that border state students do not receive a tuition decrease, and, therefore, pay a higher tuition rate. Application to establish residency to receive the Illinois-resident tuition rate can be completed after six (6) months. Please refer to the Graduate School Registrar's Office.
Physician Assistant students incur other expenses, beyond tuition and fees. Some of these expenses are:
• Intern Jackets
• Diagnostic Kit
• Stethoscope
• Reflex Hammer and Tuning Fork
• Professional Association/Organization Fees and Dues (State and National)
• Textbooks
• Housing and Transportation
• National Commission for Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) Examination Fee
• Vaccinations
Also check the SIU Financial Aid website for a Physician Assistant Student Budget. Each school year a new Budget is calculated to reflect changes in tuition according to the Board of Trustee actions. There is no budget posted for the summer semesters. Follow this link for estimated spring and fall budgets:
Relocation Information
MSPA students' first year, Phase I, takes place at the SIU Carbondale campus. During the second year, Phase II, students complete clinical rotations at hubsite locations. Phase II students are required to live at the hubsite location. Applicants must be aware that they may be required to relocate during Phase II, based upon hubsite assignment. Current hubsite information is available by contacting the Program. Phase III is an 8-week preceptorship that is arranged individually, in conjunction with the Program Hubsite Coordinator.

Check the Offices & Services tab in PirateNet to see your department's Record Retention Schedule.
- Records Mgmt - WikipediaA simple introduction to the basic concepts and terms of Records Management.
- State of NJ Record Mgmt ServicesIncludes examples of NJ state retention schedules and more information.
Welcome to Records Management
Located in the Msgr. William Noé Field Archives & Special Collections Center, this office provides storage, preservation, retrieval and maintenance of business files from various campus offices. An additional aim of this service is to facilitate the scheduled destruction or retention of non-current and permanent non-archival University records in original or microfilmed form. Materials found in this area are available to researchers on a strictly limited and approval only basis.
What is a University Record?
University records consist of recorded information that is created or received by University employees in the course of performing official functions on behalf of the University.
Some examples:
- Meeting minutes and agendas.
- Official Univerisity contracts.
- Final committee reports.
- Files related to University litigation.
- Student academic documents (forms, correspondence, etc.) that are NOT part of the student's permanent academic record.
Examples of materials that do not need to be retained:
- Duplicate materials.
- Items published by other department.
- Blank forms.
Electronic Records
Generally, the same sorts of principles for managing records apply whether they are in paper or electronic format. Whether or not you keep a file, and how long to keep it, depends on its value, subject, and function. But managing electronic records involves a few additional considerations.
- Establish a folder structure that allows you to easily locate and contextualize documents. It may make sense to align the structure with existing paper filing structures or with applicable retention schedules.
- Name files in a consistent way, always including the date and enough information to describe the content of the file, e.g.: "RMAG_minutes_2012-05-12.docx." Underscores or different capitalizations work well for distinguishing between words, but periods do not.
- For files that are to be retained longer than 5 years or so, file format obsolescence will become a problem. More sustainable file formats should be chosen accordingly. Contact the Archives for guidance.
- Email messages which document a transaction, the formulation or interpretation of a policy, the substantive business of your office or department, or the historical development of Lawrence programs are also records and should be retained in accordance with existing retention guidance. In general, we recommend that you retain record emails on the server and file them in appropriate folders in your inbox. Do not delete emails that may require longer retention to stay under your inbox space quota.
