Here at Discountramps.com we have various types of ramps, many of which are universal to accommodate a variety of different loading situations. Today, we would like to introduce you to our new line of SCG utility ramps. These SCG ramps are not only made of good quality materials, but they are also designed to fit your many different needs. This utility ramp is made of strong light weight aluminum. You can easily hook any one of the SCG utility ramps to the bed of your trailer, truck, and even over staircases. This will save you not only time, but it will also limit the amount of strain on your body.
These Utility ramps will last a long time due to the strength and durability offered by it's aluminum construction. Furthermore, since it's made of aluminum, this ramp has been engineered to never rust. Our SCG utility ramps are offered in many lengths ranging from 2ft up to 6ft. Our ramps measuring 3ft and up come with a carrying handle built in. The handle is located on the outside of the ramp helping you carry it at ease — very similar to how one would carry a suitcase. The design also has built in rigid traction to prevent any accidents. A great feature that comes with the SCG utility ramp series is that they are equipped with a full plated lip at the top of the ramp. This helps increase the surface area of contact with the trailer or stairs. In return, giving you more safety and stability while you work. The ramps are also capable of holding up to 600lbs (This is the max distributed weight capacity)! This is great for loading small lawn equipment, wheelchairs or even roll your Dollie over steps. One of the most notable features of these SCG ramps is that they are extremely easy to store. Every one of our SCG utility ramps are capable of folding, thus giving you extra space in your garage, closet, or vehicle. At discountramps.com we like to share our knowledge and quality with you. That is why we guarantee these SCG utility ramps for up to one year.
For more details on these ramps check out the SCG Suitcase style ramp web page. For any other types of ramps feel free to browse through all of our portable delivery ramps.

|Assistant Coach
|Fourth Season
|Previous College:
|Lafayette '10
Linderoth was named an assistant coach in May 2011 after serving as the team's director of operations for the 2010-11 season.
As the director of basketball operations, Linderoth was responsible for all film exchange, team travel, continued development of alumni and the friends of women's basketball group, summer clinics, all other administrative duties, and served as the community service and life skills liaison.
Linderoth, a Spring Lake, N.J. native, came to UNH after earning her bachelor's degree in Government and Law with a minor in Women and Gender Studies from Lafayette College in May 2010. Prior to her year at Lafayette, she spent three years at Catholic University of America where she majored in politics and was also a member of the varsity basketball team.

This is one of my favorite things about this area….wild blackberries. They grow around the perimeter of our yard, you could pick them all day and not get them all. Now my hands are stained purple and my arms are scratched like I was holding a wild cat, but its all worth it cause these babies are sweet as can be. And the bugs and spiders just add to the flavor…… I only wish I was kidding. :)
Soon these will be jam and pies and frozen for milkshakes to last all year and then some. And blackberry milkshakes make great purple mustaches…..
Hopefully by next post I'll have something crafty to show you, but until then these "filler" posts will have to do! :)

In 1989, my father accepted an early retirement package from Ma Bell, and in 1990 he retired…at age 52. He had worked his entire life (I was born when he was just 18) and he loved his leisurely retirement years.
Unfortunately, he died when he was 64 – when most people officially reach retirement age. Our family was distraught, of course, but we were grateful that he'd had the chance to retire early. And each of us made a vow to do what our father had done…to live life to the fullest extent and to retire as soon as possible.
Most of us would like to retire early, of course. And up until this past year of economic turbulence, many of us were on track to doing exactly that. But many who were on the fast track to early retirement have now seen their retirement savings depleted and their retirement plans sidetracked. Many wonder if they can retire at all, much less before they're well past admission age to the old folk's home.
There are a couple of ways, though, to salvage your early retirement plans. Here are a few:
Planning for Retirement
Funding your retirement: No matter what your age, start your retirement planning now. If you retire early, you probably won't be eligible yet for any Social Security income. So you'll need to be sure you have enough money saved, or have other sources of income, to finance your retirement.
In this new age of frugality, there's never been a better time to stop spending and start saving. Every little bit of money you sock away now can be enjoyed later … especially if you invest it wisely. But that's a topic for another article. The point is to continue to build your retirement investment nest egg.
(By the way, if you're interested in earning some additional income after you retire, International Living offers extensive advice about adventuresome, fun, and exciting ways to do just that. Best of all, we tell you how you can work from anywhere in the world.)
Where to retire: One of the key strategies of your retirement planning should be deciding where you will spend your retirement years. There are several resources … like Where to Retire magazine, for example … where you can find information about places with better weather, lower taxes, or lower crime rates than where you may be living now. The problem is that you may not get the entire picture from these resources.
You need to know the best place to retire where you can live very well on your retirement savings, a Social Security income, or even less.
For 30 years, International Living has been reporting on the world's top retirement destinations. Places where you can live in comfort and security and not have to forego a single necessity, luxury or activity that you so well deserve after a lifetime of working.
We've scoured the globe and left no country un-scrutinized. Every day in our free Daily E-Letter we tell you about our most recent discovery. Every month in our monthly International Living magazine or our online e-zines like we offer even more, in-depth information. You'll find even more details in the publications available in our Bookstore. And every fall, we compile our annual Global Retirement Index that lists the world's best places to retire and helps you contrast and compare those places you may be considering.
If you're serious about retiring early, we've compiled a free special report that can help.
Called "Escape to a Better Life: How to Become a Retire in the Next 12 months" it details the 12 critical steps you must take to make your early retirement dreams come true, including how to develop your own personal list of priorities and preferences – issues you need to think long and hard about.
Plus, we profile the very best places to retire. If you're wondering about where to retire, you'll soon have some clear-cut ideas – we profile about the best retirement destinations where you can live comfortably and even luxuriously on the smallest retirement budget. Get your copy of this free special report here.
You'll also receive a free subscription to our daily e-mail messages from our roving reporters, experienced lifestyle and investment experts, friends and expats from around the world. At absolutely no cost, you get a daily dose of the dream life abroad and valuable leads and insights on how you can live it yourself, starting today.
All that… and the special report – Escape to a Better Life: How to Become a Retire in the Next 12 months – are absolutely free. Just enter your e-mail address below, and you get it all…. it's as simple as that.
Get Your Free Report Here
Use any and all of these resources in your research. The point is to be as prepared as possible. This is the rest of your life we're talking about – and the more information, the better.
I'll let you in on my own strategy for early retirement: I currently live and work outside the U.S. and plan to continue to do so once I retire. In my adopted country, I qualify for a top-rate but low-cost health insurance policy. (Better than I had at home.) And I couldn't be happier with the medical treatment I receive here. (Better than I had at home.) My car insurance is vastly lower, too. And my annual property taxes are laughably low…would you believe $160 for a 6,400-sq.-ft. property?
Overall, my cost of living here is well under one-third what it would be if I were still in the States – yet I am just two hours away from home by plane.
Certainly, retiring outside the U.S. isn't for everyone. So consider this: by spending just part of the year in a lower-cost destination, you may be able to enjoy a far better lifestyle during your retirement years. It's worth investigating.
So should you retire early? If you can, you should. And if you 're prepared, you can.
Sign up now to receive our daily e-letter postcards and your free report – Escape to a Better Life: How to Become a Retire in the Next 12 months.

Local Health Department National Coalition for Health Equity
The Local Health Department National Coalition for Health Equity, open to all local health departments (LHDs), is an online network dedicated to enabling LHDs to take collective action against the fundamental causes of inequity in the distribution of disease and illness through public health practice. The coalition provides members the opportunity to build solidarity with other health departments organizing and strategizing to achieve health equity.
Historically, public health played a crucial role in advocating for progressive policy changes that improved the health of all members of a society by establishing the conditions for healthy communities. The coalition reconnects public health with its roots as a social justice enterprise focused on the conditions in which people live, work, and play.
Public health cannot do this work in isolation. Achieving health equity will require the cooperation and coordination of organizations working across a broad spectrum of disciplines and fields, including urban planning, environmental justice, transportation, sociology, labor, community organizing, and the lay public. We believe public health is uniquely well suited to unite those with a commitment to eliminating health inequities.
Become part of the coalition by going to http://healthequity.naccho.org. LHD staff are encouraged to join to exchange ideas, share knowledge, broaden the health equity dialogue, and work with other public health practitioners to become a powerful force for change.

text: Karas Kustoms is proud to announce our latest project, a custom machined pen, the RETRAKT. We have chosen the name "RETRAKT" because this new pen is a "click" style pen that uses a near-silent mechanism to expose and retract the tip of the refill in use. The RETRAKT features a German-made, all metal, knock mechanism, our signature heavy duty stainless clip, and will come in 3 different materials. In addition to aluminum and brass, we are introducing a version in copper, a first for Karas Kustoms. The aluminum version will be anodized and the copper and brass versions will be hand-finished and left raw. As always, everything from design to manufacturing is all done by us in our shop.

I love this app. Good that you guys featured it on your website.
Rise Alarm Clock for iPhone and iPad review
It's sleep and relaxation week here at iMore for Mobile Nations fitness month, so we're going to take a look at an app that's related to both these topics: Rise Alarm Clock for iPhone and iPad.
Rise Alarm Clock for iPhone and iPad is a very elegantly designed alarm clock with a gesture-based interface and relaxing use of color. It's extremely easy, and even a little fun, to use.
To set an alarm, you simply hold your finger on the screen and swipe up and down until you reach the desired time (within 15 minutes). As you swipe along the screen, the background will change colors to reflect the time of day. To fine-tune the time, tap above or below the displayed time to move it by 5-minute increments. Once you've picked the correct time, just swipe left or right to set the alarm.
When the alarm is set the screen will go dark and the text will change to the color that the previous screen was for that time. A timer will also appear under the time that displays the amount of time until the alarm goes off. This makes Rise a great motivator to go to bed early so that you don't see a depressing "5 hours until rise" when you're heading to bed.
From this screen, you can also add or subtract time in 5-minute increments, create or select a playlist of music to fall asleep to, adjust the volume, and enable the repeating alarm.
After about 15 seconds of not doing anything on this screen, Rise switches to Clock Mode which displays the current time in the center and the amount of time left until the alarm goes off at the bottom. Taping the screen will take you out of Clock mode.
When the alarm goes off, the sound gently fades in so that it doesn't startle you awake. The displayed time also bounces on the screen and you are given the option to turn off the alarm by swiping left or right, or you can hit the snooze for more sleep. If you opt for the snooze, you can make it longer than 5 minutes by simply tapping the plus sign.
Although this is not a fault of the app, but rather the limitations that Apple has on the iOS 6 SDK, it's important to note that in order for Rise Alarm Clock to be fully functional, you must have it running in the foreground before locking the screen. If you exit the app by pressing the home screen, you will receive a notification at the time you set the alarm for, instead. The good news is that the notification will play the sound that you selected and Rise will continue to send you notifications until you clear it out. When you "slide to snooze", Rise will open and the 5 minute snooze will activate. If you'd rather turn off the alarm, just swipe left or right.
The good
- Gesture-based
- Beautiful and relaxing colors
- Great selection of calming sounds, or use your own music
- Sound fades in when alarm goes off
- Snooze option
- Ability to snooze or turn off the alarm from the lock screen with a shake (iPhone only)
- Fall asleep to music
- Set as repeating alarm
- Universal for iPhone and iPad
The bad
- Only one repeating alarm can be set at a time
The bottom line
Rise Alarm Clock is an excellent alternative to the alarm clock available in Apple's built-in Clock app. It features a gorgeous gesture-based interface that is easy to use. Rise also includes a great selection of calming sounds to wake up to so that you can begin your day in a great mood.

Rise Alarm Clock for iPhone and iPad review
The app itself is great, but ultimately useless due to Apple's restrictions. If you don't forget to open this app before you go to sleep it's useless as it won't work. If you also use Do Not Disturb then it's even more useless.
An alarm is something that you shouldn't have to think about it, and it must be relied upon. If you forget to open this before you go to sleep then you might not wake up on time in the morning.
As pretty as Rise is, it's no replacement for the Clock app unfortunately.
I would agree with you but it kills the UI. & As Apple is a software company, it's high time they learn from these developers who work so hard and make better apps then Apple has on stock.
At the end, It's just good work & no matter how much Apple tries to stop them, they will win.
No, it's not useless. The alarm will still work, it just sends notifications to wake you up instead of the intended UI, but it does indeed work. You are correct about DND, though. If you DND on and the app closed, the it will not work. But if you have DND on and the app in foreground, then it will work.
Here's the FAQ: http://simplebots.co/faq.html

In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires.
Benjamin Franklin
In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires.
Benjamin Franklin
Back to top.
The big news in nutrition this past week was a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The study covered cookbook recipes over the last several decades (with emphasis on recipes in The Joy of Cooking), and it was discovered that calorie counts have gone up dramatically as authors have increased portion sizes to conform to new cultural norms. Where the 1936 edition of the kitchen classic averaged 268 calories per serving, the most recent 2006 edition averaged 384 calories. Lower costs of food and larger plate sizes are theorized as part of the reason for the increase, but nutritionist Marion Nestle says that mainly it's just a reflection of people becoming accustomed to eating more and more overall. What can we do to monitor and control portion sizes? Here are some ideas . . .
Handy Portion-Control Guide
By Debbie Siebers, creator of Slim in 6®
To achieve weight loss, it's crucial to really understand what a portion is. Here's a trick: use your hand as a guideline to portion sizes.
Palm = Proteins
Make protein portions the size of your palm. Protein is found in animal products, like fish, meats, and cottage cheese. Some veggie sources include legumes (beans, etc.), tofu, tempeh, and wheat glutens.
Thumb = Fats
Fats are important but also very dense, so match portions to the size of your thumb. Good fat sources are avocados, olive oil, nuts, and seeds.
Fist = Fruits, Grains, etc.
Your bread, fruit, cereal, rice, and grain portions should be about equal to the size of your closed fist. Remember that whole grains are always preferred.
Hand = Veggies
Open your hand and spread your fingers as wide as you can. That is a good vegetable portion. Raw vegetables are loaded with fiber and nutrients, and contain very few calories.

Welcome to Part III of our oh-so-basic nutrition class designed to give you an overview of basic nutrition and make healthy eating much simpler. First, we had an introduction, which was followed by a very simple analysis of what you should eat. Today, we delve into the tricky world of marketing.
These days, the topic of what's in food is probably less important than what you're likely to hear about food. People can go for years without discussing their diets, but it's practically impossible to go a day without hearing terms like organic, omega, or carb. Upon hearing one of these terms, you've found evidence that advertisers have used their market research tools and, thus, determined that they need to shove these words down your throat, especially since you probably have no idea what they mean. You see, as long as you don't know what they mean, they can spin them however they like. Spin: it's not just for politicians anymore. But these terms do have meaning. And once you understand them, they can help you make smarter food choices.
Some foods don't require a label, which makes them harder to spin. These are mainly very fresh and haven't been tampered with so, in general, they are your healthy alternatives. The spin doctors here play both sides of the fence. When it comes to non-labeled foods, the important issue is how these foods were raised.
When it became clear that the reason certain companies could offer lower-priced goods was because they used inferior raising methods, those who didn't use inferior methods began using terms to help distinguish themselves. When this affected the business of the former, they jumped into the fray and the spin games began. But that's getting ahead of our topic. Let's begin by defining which foods don't require labels.
First are foods like apples, oranges, broccoli, and many other things that you can buy in the state that they come from the earth. Known as fruits, vegetables, and herbs, they're entirely different than that soda you just bought with "real fruit flavor." These foods have parts that aren't really foods, either. Called fiber, it's the indigestible part of a plant. It has no nutrient value, but it's still an ultra-important part of your diet because it does all kinds of things, including cleaning out our digestive tract and soaking up excess cholesterol. It's very important that our diets feature plants. They are loaded with nutrients and fiber and have no man-made ingredients (okay, some have pesticides, which we'll get to in a minute). When we do things like cook or make juice from these items, they lose their nutrients and fiber, and get a label.
Next are grains and legumes. Things like rice and beans—also plants—these foods have more protein and calories than fruits and veggies. They are less easily found in their natural state. Rice, for example, often has its shell stripped, so it's white. Grains get turned into breads and crackers, often at the expense of their healthiest ingredients. Beans get smashed and have things added to them. As a rule, the closer you can get a legume or grain to its original state, the better it is for you.
Finally, we have meats and dairy products. Nowadays, unless you live on a farm, you probably have to buy these with labels. That's mainly due to suspect growing and harvesting practices. This topic is mainly one for Politics class, but we're going to look at the consumer end of it next.
Hey! What are you rolling your eyes at? Yes, you, the guy in the white suit taking up two seats. What are you dressed like that for? Going to the Kentucky Derby after class? Well, pal. I believe that this subject concerns you more than anyone, so pay attention.
These animal products are loaded with protein, vitamins, and sometimes carbs and healthy fats. But we need to be careful with them because meats (other than fish) and dairy products have a lot of saturated fat. You can buy all of these products with much of this fat removed. For the most part, this is recommended, which we'll cover in the "fat-free" portion of the lecture later on.
Now it's time to get to some good jargon. You've heard all of these terms, probably while you've been considering buying any of the aforementioned food items. But just what do they mean?
Organic. Organic means living, so organic foods are supposed to be alive or, at least, recently alive. Originally, "organic" meant produce that hadn't been sprayed with inorganic things, like pesticides. But now you'll see "organic ingredients" in boxed, jarred, and canned foods, which can be confusing. Organic was once a term used only by the folks who showed up at your weekly farmers' market. Then, word started to get out about large-scale farmers spraying nasty pesticides on their crops, pesticides that would still be on those crops when we bought them. Most people are pretty sure they don't want to eat something made to kill animals, so when the little "organic" guys' businesses started to feel the impact, the big guys just started slapping an "organic" label on anything, until the government had to step in.
Now we have an imperfect system. Organic rules can be fudged to some degree, but it seems to be getting better and not worse. It's made the large growers a bit more cognizant about what they add to or spray on their crops. Organic has also trickled up. So now packaged foods using "organic ingredients" are labeled as such. But be prudent because the fine print will tell you how much is organic. Lobbyists haggle over how much organic stuff needs to be in a product for the word "organic" to appear on the label, and the amount has changed and will continue to change. So you can see a product with a big "organic" on its label with very little organic inside.
Also, many farmers claim that organic growing remains behind the times. They argue that their products don't seem to grow as healthily using organic standards because the classification needs reworking. This is no doubt true, as we'll probably never be able to create a perfect system.
Bottom line: "Organic" on a label is probably better, but you should read the fine print. The more concerned the farmer or rancher, the more information they want to provide. A company that spends a lot of effort to list its practices is probably better than one that won't go to the trouble. As a general rule, those going out of their way to meet organic standards probably care more. It's not perfect, but buying "organic" still stacks the odds in your favor.
Grass fed. Cattle were once all grass fed. They lived on prairies and ate grass, 'cause that's all there was to eat. On the prairie, that grass is nutrient rich because of the soil. Cattle that ate it grew big and strong, and when we ate them, we grew big and strong. Then, some guy figured out that cattle, if they had to, would eat grain. This meant he could build houses and strip malls on the prairie, put the cattle into little fenced areas and feed them grain, and make a lot more money. The downside was that grain didn't have the same nutrient value (like eating Krispy Kreme doughnuts instead of broccoli), so the cows weren't so big and strong. To make them look like they once did, he started shooting them with things like steroids, so that the cattle started looking like Jose Conseco, and all was good in the world. Except that when we ate the cattle, they didn't have the same nutrient value. This meant we ate the same calories with less nutrient value. When this happened, we got fat.
For a while, we were none the wiser. Then, people started getting sick and dying because some genius, low on grain, started feeding cows parts of other cows mixed with the grain to make more money. Cows aren't carnivorous, like animals with sharp teeth, so this didn't work well and bad stuff like E. coli started showing up in meat. Anyway, feeding cows other cows is now against the law, but lobbyists were also able to make a deal in which it's nearly impossible for meat companies to be sued, so who knows what they're actually up to.
Bottom line: Even though meat lobbyists have been hammering away at the "grass fed" requirements, it still means that the meat is likely to be much better in quality.
Free range. Cattle weren't the only animals out on the prairie. Birds were there, too. In fact, birds were all over the place because they have wings and can, you know, fly. This became problematic when folks decided they wanted to raise them on farms. You listening, Colonel?
Figuring that if birds couldn't fly and, well, they would then need no space at all, "farmers" started loading them all together in tiny little pens. Irritated—naturally—the birds would peck at each other and cause general turmoil, so good ol' Foster the farmer put them in little cages wherein they couldn't get at each other—for their entire lives!
Since this isn't Animal Cruelty class, let's just talk about how healthy these birds are when they grow up and we eat them. When you get out and exercise, how does that help you? Hmm, since some of you can't answer this, I'll tell you. You get healthier. Your body systems work better and you get more muscle. Muscle is meat, like the part of a chicken that we want to eat. If you sit in a small room for a long time, how do you tend to look or feel? Answer: You get fat. You get sick. You die young.
Take two chickens. Let one run around and eat stuff it finds growing out of the ground. Put the other in a 2-foot-square box and feed it junk food. Which one do you want to eat?
Bottom line: Only eat free-range fowl, which is harder now than ever to find because new grades of distinction have surfaced. Again, to stay on top of it, you'll need to stay educated. To reiterate, the more concerned the company, the more likely they will want to educate you.
Farm raised. This term has to do with fish. For those of you who are confused, that is natural. Fish live in water. We live on land. How the heck do we farm them?
The obvious answer is to put them in big aquariums, but that would be too expensive. Instead, they raise fish in fenced-off areas and treat them a bit like the birds mentioned above. This tends to cause a lot of damage for the ecosystem in general, but this isn't Environment class. We don't offer environment classes because they don't help your standardized testing. Anyway, the effect on the fish depends a lot on the type of fish. Some, like catfish that naturally live in sluggish conditions, do okay, while others, like salmon, do terribly. In fact, salmon are migratory and swim for most of their lives. Keeping them in a "tank" wreaks havoc on their lifestyle. Farm-raised salmon don't even have red meat, like they do naturally, and are dyed red for market. Do you really want to eat fish that's been dyed red?
Bottom line: Avoid farm-raised fish when possible. Always avoid farm-raised salmon.
Local. Some of you are no doubt wondering why this rather boring-sounding label is taking up more shelf space lately. After all, isn't the gourmand taught to eat from exotic and far-off lands? Who, with ample means, wouldn't always opt for Maine lobster, Norwegian caviar, and water from New Zealand?
One concerned for the health of the planet might be the obvious answer. You don't have to be Al Gore to deduce that using 500,000 gallons of gas so that you can sip from a melting glacier near Christchurch might create a ripple effect with negative implications for the planet. But, hey, this isn't Earth First 911; it's Nutrition 911, so let's stay focused. Buying locally allows us to play watchdog. It's easy to check out your local dairy. Just ask around. You don't even need to research. Good businesses tend to get talked about in the community. And if you suspect that a local business is wielding a bit too much power and influence over your neighbors, that's probably all the information you need. But your local Chambers of Commerce, Better Business Bureaus, and independent news organizations are keen to help out should your scuttlebutt network not be broad enough.
Bottom line: Local companies should always be considered first.
Ah, there's the bell. I hope you'll feel a bit better next time you walk into your local market. But we're not finished. Fat and carbs, two words known far better for their colloquial rather than literal meanings, will be covered next time.

Doyle had already found the net from close range to put Wanderers 2-0 up at Ashton Gate when he picked up the ball just outside his own penalty area.
The Republic of Ireland international striker embarked on a lengthy counter which took him past two City defenders and all the way into the Robins penalty area, where he finished low across goalkeeper Tom Heaton.
And Doyle has revealed the part boss Solbakken played in his thinking.
"I was pleased with my second goal," he told Wolves' official website.
"The manager has been on at me a fair bit to run more with the ball and take people on more, and maybe that was in my head.
"Sylv (Ebanks-Blake) made a good run and took one or two defenders away and it opened up for me."

- Pluto: a Monte Carlo simulation tool for hadronic physics (2007)
- Pluto is a Monte-Carlo event generator designed for hadronic interactions from Pion production threshold to intermediate energies of a few GeV per nucleon, as well as for studies of heavy ion reactions. The package is entirely based on ROOT, without the need of additional packages, and uses the embedded C++ interpreter of ROOT to control the event production. The generation of events based on a single reaction chain and the storage of the resulting particle objects can be done with a few lines of a ROOT-macro. However, the complete control of the package can be taken over by the steering macro and user-defined models may be added without a recompilation of the framework. Multi-reaction cocktails can be facilitated as well using either mass-dependent or user-defined static branching ratios. The included physics uses resonance production with mass-dependent Breit-Wigner sampling. The calculation of partial and total widths for resonances producing unstable particles is performed recursively in a coupled-channel approach. Here, particular attention is paid to the electromagnetic decays, motivated by the physics program of HADES. The thermal model supports 2-component thermal distributions, longitudinal broadening, radial blast, direct and elliptic flow, and impact-parameter sampled multiplicities. The interface allows angular distribution models (e.g. for the primary meson emission) to be attached by the user as well as descriptions of multi-particle correlations using decay chain templates. The exchange of mass sampling or momentum generation models is also possible. The first feature allows for consistent coupled-channel calculations, needed for a correct description of hadronic interactions. For elementary reactions, angular distribution models for selected channels are already part of the framework, based on parameterizations of existing data. This report gives an overview of the design of the package, the included models and the user interface.
- Measurement of the quasi free np → npπ+π− and np → ppπ−π0 reactions at 1.25 GeV with HADES (2014)
- We present the results of two-pion production in tagged quasi-free np collisions at a deutron incident beam energy of 1.25 GeV/c measured with the High-Acceptance Di-Electron Spectrometer (HADES) installed at GSI. The specific acceptance of HADES allowed for the first time to obtain high-precision data on π+π− and π−π0 production in np collisions in a region corresponding to large transverse momenta of the secondary particles. The obtained differential cross section data provide strong constraints on the production mechanisms and on the various baryon resonance contributions (∆∆, N(1440), N(1520), ∆(1600)). The invariant mass and angular distributions from the np → npπ+π −and np → ppπ−π0 reactions are compared with different theoretical model predictions.
- A versatile method for simulating pp -> ppe+e- and dp -> pne+e-p_spec reactions (2010)
- We have developed a versatile software package for the simulation of di-electron production in pp and dp collisions at moderate beam kinetic energies (1-2GeV). Particular attention has been paid to incorporate different descriptions of the Dalitz decay Δ rightarrow Ne + e - via a common interface. In addition, suitable parameterizations for the virtual bremsstrahlung process NN rightarrow NNe + e - based on one-boson exchange models have been implemented. Such simulation tools with high flexibility of the framework are important for the interpretation of the di-electron data taken with the HADES spectrometer and demonstrates the wide applicability within the field of nuclear and hadronic physics.

Man reports being fired at while driving
An Ohio man reported that someone fired a gun at him while he was traveling down Interstate 20 in Aiken on Thursday, according to the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
The incident happened just after midnight.
The victim reported that while traveling west, an older model truck had been "trying to run into his trailer" for the previous 40 miles, according to the report. At one point, he swerved into the suspect vehicle's lane to get the suspect to stop, and the suspect drove up next to him and fired a shot at the windshield.
The victim was unable to write a statement due to his scared and excited state. He requested EMS transport to be checked out for high blood pressure and some pain in his chest.
Officers found no bullet holes in the victim's truck.
Man reports attempted theft from shed
A Langley man reported that a woman broke into his shed and tried to steal his digital camera and some beer, according to the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
The incident happened at a home on Pelzer Street in Langley about 10 p.m. on Wednesday, according to the report.
The homeowner's wife told him the alarm was going off in their shed, and when he went inside, he saw a woman standing next to the refrigerator holding his digital camera and a beer, according to the report. The homeowner told officers he'd seen the woman around before.
He asked the suspect why she was stealing his stuff, and the woman allegedly put the items down and responded, "I'm not stealing nothing," according to the report. When she tried to walk out, the homeowner grabbed her by the jacket but let her go, and she fled on foot.
The suspect reportedly dropped a CD and a plastic cup near the front door of the shed.

New to cyber schools? »
Start learning what PALCS is all aboutIntroduction
Our Families
As a student at PALCS, Evangeline has had the opportunity to dedicate much of her time to her passion, acting. There is hardly a time when she is not either in a play, rehearsing for a play, or auditioning for another play, sometimes concurrently.
She is on the phone with her teachers four, sometimes five, times a day. The accessibility is greater than in public school. They love being able to talk to their teachers. They send them notes outside of class. They feel like they are more than just teachers.
The University Scholars Program has reinvigorated Grace's love for learning. Instead of a focus on quantity, Scholars truly emphasizes meaningful learning.
In many ways I feel more connected with Wilder's teachers now than when he was enrolled in traditional school. It's interesting how for being in cyber school, you feel connected. I wouldn't expect that. I think it is really great.
PA Leadership's students receive a better education, more elaborate and challenging. You get to know your child's strengths and weaknesses younger so when they reach high school, you're not trying to figure out what is happening with your child. You know all of it now.
In a traditional public school, once you're done with a class, to get back to that teacher is really hard. But at PALCS, every time Scarlett needed extra help, her math teacher would be right there. She would sit there with her and explain everything until she got it.
If you have other commitments or you want to do something outside of school. PALCS gives you the flexibility to be able to focus on your academics but also explore other areas of the arts, engineering, or anything you want to do.

KidsPeace assists thousands of children by finding them safe, loving homes with caring foster parents in 11 states and the District of Columbia. The Baltimore foster care office sponsored a 5K race and one mile walk to raise funds the KEYS Program(KidsPeace empowering Youth to Succeed), which teaches foster teens life skills that they will need to use when they age out of the system and live independently in the community. With the odds stacked high against them, teens who age out of the foster care system must suddenly find jobs, secure a place to live, stick to a budget, link up with transportation and make their way in the world, often with little or no preparation. KidsPeace is committed to helping these teens prepare for adult life and move smoothly to independent living.
The 5K fundraiser was the first of its kind for the Baltimore foster care office, and the participation and enthusiasm of sponsors, volunteers and runners was wonderful. From employees of the Baltimore, DC, and Virginia KidsPeace foster care offices to staff from as far away as Pennsylvania, volunteers to the Board of Associates that supports the efforts of the office, to local businesses and sponsors, everyone worked extremely hard to make the event profitable and lots of fun for all who attended. The positive media coverage has attracted the interest of more individuals and businesses that would like to become involved in future fundraisers.
The most exciting outcome is the nearly $25,000 in cash donations and in-kind sponsorships from the businesses in O'Donnell Square in Baltimore where the finish line was set up. Many people in the running community commented that this was an impressive amount for a 5K to raise. Business owners arrived at the finish lines with their families to provide crafts for the children, food, beverages and even electricity for the speaker system from one enthusiastic restaurant. All of the merchants and volunteers truly embraced the race/walk and the foster children KidsPeace serves. Many of the sponsors also volunteered to work with our teens to help them with interview skills and internships in the future.
Baltimore City DSS was very supportive and an active partner. Ray Syndor from the Philadelphia Eagles was part of the event and was so impressed with KidsPeace that he is working on continuing a partnership in the form of a camp and other programs for our kids. One of the event's very generous sponsors (a local hotel) wants to partner with KidsPeace for next year to help plan the event. The Baltimore Foster Care Office Board of Associates and their families were very generous with their time and their donations, and Chairperson Lee Anderson provided immeasurable professionalism for the post race program. Each board member worked side by side with staff to make this event such a success, and their dedication to KidsPeace is very inspiring. Board members, interns, staff and their family members were joined by folks from Johns Hopkins, Baltimore students and local community members.
The foster families who attended and volunteered were amazed at the magnitude of the race and the community involvement on their behalf. One of the foster children summed it up by saying "Wow, This is all for us!" A big thank you to everyone who helped out and an invitation to bring friends and family to make next years race an even bigger hit.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A new Associated Press-GfK poll finds that about 4 out of 5 Americans now think temperatures are rising and that global warming will be a serious problem for the United States if nothing is done about it.
Belief and worry about climate change is inching up among Americans in general but is growing faster among people who don't often trust scientists on the environment.
Overall, 78 percent of those surveyed said they thought temperatures were rising. That's up from 75 percent in 2009.
And 80 percent of people surveyed called unchecked climate change a serious problem, up from 73 percent three years ago.
The survey of 1,002 Americans was conducted in late November and early December. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.

Hey, Lady
"Was that big lady alive before, Mom?"
"No, Bob. That's a statue."
"But the statues at the Natural Mystery Museum used to be alive."
"The animals at the Natural History Museum are different."
"Because they are made out of dead animals that used to be alive but now they are dead and statues?"
"Um, yeah? Yeah. Yes."
"And the big lady statue was not a lady?"
"No. A sculptor made her out of metal."
"Yes, Buddy?"
"She has really, really big parts."
