DAVIS, Calif. - Looking for its first Big West win of the 2010 season, Cal State Northridge came up short in four sets as UC Davis defeated the Matadors 25-18, 25-21, 23-25, 25-20 Friday night at The Pavilion.
Northridge (6-11, 0-3 Big West) had its losing streak extended to a season-long, four straight and was denied its first conference win. The Aggies remain unbeaten in the conference at 3-0 and are 11-4 overall.
Senior Janet Alvarado put down a team-high 12 kills (.281) while Monica McFarland (.241) and Natalie Allen (.211) each added 10 kills on a night the Matador offense struggled. As a team, CSUN had just 39 kills (eight kills in the opening set, 13 in set two, nine in set three and nine in set four) compared to 65 for the Aggies. The Matadors' leading hitter Mahina Haina never got untracked and had no kills and two errors in four swings. Sophomore libero Cindy Ortiz led CSUN with 14 digs.
For UC Davis, Allison Whitson pounded a match-high 16 kills (.211) while Melanie Adams posted a double-double with 13 kills (.273) and 10 digs. Aggie setter Jenny Woolway had a solid all-around match with 52 assists and 25 digs.
A 4-0 UC Davis run gave the hosts a 12-7 lead in the opening set before a pair of McFarland aces helped pull the Matadors within 14-12. An Allen kill helped CSUN get within 16-13 but the Matadors would get no closer the rest of the way as the Aggies rallied to take an 18-13 lead. Morgan Borch's kill on set point closed out the first-set win.
In the second set, UC Davis scored 12 of the first 19 points to open up a 12-7 lead. Trailing 16-12, the Matadors put together a 6-3 run to pull within 19-18 on an Aggie hitting error. An Allen kill also kept the Matadors within one at 21-20 before a Betsy Sedlak-Whitson block followed two kills and an ace from Adams wrapped up the set 25-21.
Alvarado then had six of the Matadors' nine kills as CSUN managed to pull out a third set win 25-23. UC Davis committed 11 hitting errors in the frame helping the Matadors extend the match to a fourth set. Trailing 22-18, CSUN used an Allen kill and three consecutive Aggie hitting errors to pull even. After a UC Davis kill, Lynda Morales had a hand in a pair of blocks to seal the set 25-23.
UC Davis led by four at 10-6 lead before four straight CSUN points, capped by a Sam Orlandini kill, pulled the Matadors even. Northridge also rallied late as they took their final lead at 19-18 following a spectacular Orlandini dig. But the Aggies responded with four straight points to erase all doubt and Devon Damelio's kill on match sent the Aggies to the four-set win.
Cal State Northridge takes another crack at its first conference win on Saturday as the Matadors travel to Stockton to take on the Pacific Tigers at 7 p.m.

Reducing the Fear of Downtown Crime, Executive Summary
Subtitle/Series Name:
Pub. Date:
Oct 1987
Fear of crime has lead businesses and corporations to decide that many urban downtown areas are undesirable places to locate their new office or retail facilities. In 1984, the Regional Plan Association initiated the Downtown Safety Security and Economic Development Program to combat this problem. The Regional Plan studied three areas in the outer boroughs of New York City to learn how crime impedes growth in downtown areas. The study employed interviews with corporate executives and security directors, surveys of merchants and residents, reviews of police records, sessions with office workers, and field observations. Downtowns across the United States were surveyed for workable programs that could offset the negative effects of crime on downtown development. The results of this research were used to assist groups in Jamaica Center and Downtown Brooklyn to formulate and create strategies for enhancing the images of their downtown areas. The research indicates that people fear downtown crime and thus hesitate to walk on downtown streets. Thus, the development of a downtown area is reduced. The research also indicates that fear of crime can be reduced by dense and compact multiuse development and police patrol activities that provide considerable citizen contact and control of crime. By using strategies that build on these findings, the report shows how revitalization of a downtown area can occur. source

Sorry! You missed it this time! Make sure to stay in touch and join my newsletter to know if/when I will be offering this again.
Give me 15 minutes a day and I will take you from creatively blocked to having 30 pairs of gorgeous, creative earrings at the end of September!
I hear a lot that people just don't have the time to be creative. I understand that because I feel the same way. We all have so many things to take care of every day and we put our wants and needs on the back burner, saving it for another day.
But what if you could be creative for a short period of time every single day? You could carve out 15 minutes for yourself and for your creativity. Wouldn't that be great?! You could get into a creative habit and it wouldn't take up that much more time in your day!
Earrings are a quick way to express yourself and your creativity.
- They don't take a lot of time to make.
- You can express your creativity when you're making the earrings.

Results you will get:
- 30 new pairs of earrings that you have made in your own style using my tutorials and videos to learn techniques.

My customers tell me again and again how clear and simple my tutorials are to use. In video, I take my time and make sure that you have all the information that you need to be successful. The videos are shot so you can clearly see what I'm doing. It's my viewpoint looking at my hands – even better than learning in person because there's no other way for you to have that vantage point in any other way.
My PDFs contain clear, close up shots of every step along with clearly written instructions. I do not assume you know something and leave it out like other tutorial writers do. I assume this is your first time for every technique I teach. (If you know the technique, you can skip to parts you don't know or you may get a new perspective on the technique.)
I've been told I make complex things seem simple. That's because I break everything down into precise, small steps. If you take your time and are patient, I believe you can do everything one step at a time.
I've also been called inspiring. I show you how I made the earrings, but I also give you more ideas and encouragement to try different ways of making the earrings.
Other teachers:
- Don't explain everything because they make certain assumptions that you know things.
- To save space they leave out details. T
- heir patterns are jumbled together and difficult to follow and read.
- They give you 1 way of doing it without any inspiration or ideas to change or customize it.
- Their photos aren't as clear and their instructions aren't clear.
- Their videos show them making things, but not from a bird's eye view.
I have been making jewelry since I was a child and professionally making and selling jewelry for close to 10 years. I had a retail space for years and now I'm teaching others about jewelry making.
I've held several online eCourses and sold lots of patterns. But this Earrings eCourse is the first time I've taught so many different tutorials in one eCourse — and in one month!
I'm so excited to share all these earrings with you and for you to feel creative every day! I love earrings so much because you can whip them up to go with an outfit just before you walk out the door.
I can imagine you getting up 15 minutes earlier in the morning, opening up your Earrings eCourse email and making a pair of earrings to go with the outfit you're going to wear that day. How fun is that?

Real Housewives of New York
Jill Zarin's Daughter Has Been Wearing Shapewear Since She Was 13: Is It Bad for Teens?
Former Real Housewives of New York star Jill Zarin is sticking by her Skweez Couture shapewear line, which was designed with teens in mind. One surprising long-time supporter of the product is her own daughter, nineteen-year-old Ally Shapiro.
In a new video from ABC about the potential dangers of shapewear, Ally admits, "I've been wearing it since I was 13, I'll probably will wear it 'til I'm 63, I dunno. It's just out there, and it's necessary."
Jill added, "What I think shapewear does is sort of normalizes the girls' body figures."
The video documents the new trend of teens wearing shapewear. A physician notes that there are possible negative consequences to continually squeezing one's body with binding clothing, but Jill and Ally are standing firm in full support of the Skweez. "They have been selling like wildfire. We can't keep them in stock," Jill boasted.
The Real Housewives of New York airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

Have you ever noticed how we begin to see certain things around us when we place enough importance on these things? Say you buy a new car and all of a sudden, you begin seeing that model everywhere you go. It feels as if your model has miraculously reproduced all over the highway, like rabbits during mating season! Yet we know that this realistically can't be the case.There's a section of the brain called the reticular activating system, and its role is to alert our vision to things that … [Read more...]

More and more savvy used car buyers are turning to the internet to find a bargain and benefit from the convenience and wider choice it provides. Leading trading website, exchangeandmart.co.uk offers advice on the pros and cons of buying online and top tips to get the best price when selling.
"One of the major benefits of buying online is that used car buyers can use very precise search criteria," explains Debra Healy, Digital Director of Exchange & Mart. "Online searches will only bring up relevant ads that match their criteria, including make, model, colour, fuel type and price, saving a lot of time. In addition, buyers can be specific regarding location, so they don't have to travel too far. Alternatively, enthusiasts looking for rare or classic cars can search the whole country for the perfect purchase.
"On exchangeandmart.co.uk we send email alerts to buyers with details of new adverts as soon as they appear on the site. This enables them to move quickly and find their ideal used car before somebody else snaps it up. Buyers can choose when to search and with the growth of internet-enabled phones, they can now choose where to actually search from. Our adverts are as up-to-date as possible, which means someone could search for a car while they're out and about, view it, do the deal and drive home in a new set of wheels, all in one afternoon."
exchangeandmart.co.uk prides itself on ease of use and getting users to where they want to be within the site as quickly as possible. As a trusted household name since 1869, Exchange & Mart is committed to the highest level of customer satisfaction by continually meeting their changing needs and providing instant access to the products they want.
Nothing beats the speed and convenience buying online can offer. However, the growth of the internet has also caught the attention of fraudsters. Buyers need to be aware of the risks and follow the advice available on exchangeandmart.co.uk or vstag.co.uk, the website for the Vehicle Safe Trading Advisory Group (VSTAG).
Healy concludes, "The classified car industry, including exchangeandmart.co.uk, is doing all it can to minimise scams and set up VSTAG in partnership with the Metropolitan Police. So far, adverts for cars to the value of many £100,000s have been removed from VSTAG partner websites, making it safer for consumers. If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is, so stay alert and avoid the scammers.
"Ultimately, shopping online empowers consumers to find exactly what they want, where they want and when they want it. exchangeandmart.co.uk continues to be the first port of call for savvy consumers looking for a bargain from a brand they can trust."

DSS receives funds for heating bills
For low-income families needing help with a heating bill, the Vance County Department of Social Services may be able to help — for a short time.
The department recently received an extra $150,000 in Low Income Energy Assistance Program, or LIEAP, funds. The program helps households that meet certain criteria by making a one-time vendor payment to cover the cost of a heating bill. That means the money will go directly to Duke Energy, for example, and not to the person requesting aid.
The money is available until March 31 or until it runs out, whichever comes first.
Cassandra Hart — social services supervisor for emergency services, Work First and childcare — said the extra money was sorely needed; the department ran out of funds — nearly $420,000 — for the program last month.
"We depleted the $419,000 on Feb. 17," she said. "At that time, we did have some pending applications. We had to deny those persons because we didn't have the funds anymore. They can actually reapply."
Even those who applied and were rejected because they didn't meet income requirements should try again; Hart said those who lost work in February from the winter storms might meet the criteria to receive assistance.
From Dec. 1 to Jan. 31, the program is only open to those who have a household member 60 years old or older or who receives services from the Division of Aging and Adult Services, but it opens up to include more low-income people beginning in February.
And there's a lot of need; Hart said the department has served nearly 1,640 families since Dec. 1, 2013.
"On Feb. 3, which is the first working day in February, we assisted well over 300 people just that one day," she said.
The funds went even more quickly than normal because of this year's colder winter. The county had fewer dollars in the Crisis Intervention Program, which helps low-income families in a heating or cooling emergency.
"We depleted those funds at the end of January, so when February came, people were in need," Hart said. "Of course, the temperatures have played a big part of that and continue to do so. This has been an unpredictable winter."
Vance County received the extra dollars because some counties didn't spend their full allotment. If the department doesn't spend all $150,000, whatever is left will revert back to the state.
In order to be eligible, a family must meet all of the following:
• Meet income requirements;
• Be responsible for the heating bill;
• Not have resources move than $2,200;
• Be a U.S. citizen or eligible alien; and
• Must not have received LIEAP assistance since Dec. 1, 2013.
Interested Vance County residents may apply at the Department of Social Services. They should bring verification of February income for all family members as well as information on household checking and savings accounts; property, stocks, bonds and other assets; and the name, date of birth and Social Security numbers for each member of the household. If the home is heated with electricity or natural gas, applicants should bring in their account numbers for Duke Energy or PSNC.

Olive St. offers eclectic experienceWritten by Robert Holman | | email@example.com
Olive St. Studios live in an 8,000-square-foot warehouse converted into a mishmash of eclectic studios, impromptu gathering spaces and a random gallery seething with art crossing the media spectrum. Eleven artists lease the space on Ottawa Street, overlooking the Maumee River at the base of the west side of the High Level Bridge.
Established in 1990 on Olive Street, the studios moved Downtown in 2000 when the East Side building changed hands. Brain Juchartz acts as a leader for what he said is "more like a commune."
"Brian is the person who might be in charge because he collects the rent money. He is the one who signs the lease. We function as a co-op. Nobody's really in charge. We come and go as we please. We work independently and as a group," long time group member Jessica Besterman said.
The group is planning a Fourth of July festival, with food, drinks, exhibits and live music starting about 5 p.m. The cover charge will include parking, a benefit as the studio is a great location to see the fireworks.
"What we're trying to do is generate some awareness. Stay within the ebb and flow of the art scene," Juchartz said. "We hold these events for patrons of the arts and enthusiast. We put on a show and a visual arts show. It's an art exhibit with a party twist."
The group wants the party to rival its annual Big Head Ball.
"Our main event that really draws a crowd is the Big Head Ball. It is near Halloween, it is sort of like a costume party. This year we want to make it a two-night event. The first night will be a gallery opening and more sophisticated and the second night will be the party," Besterman said.
Besterman works in oil on canvas. Her paintings, as big as three feet by four feet, use aggressive strokes. The highly contrasting colors create depth. Generally, her work has a main figure with oversized eyes, following and tugging at viewers. Closer inspection reveals important background details that add to the paintings' emotion.
Juchartz is creating high-tech wood burnings. He uses a slightly modified commercial laser printer to produce detailed relief figures. The small grooves create shadows so the images vary as viewers move. The wood grain adds another dimension to the effect.
Brad Bechtal also uses a naturally grained surface in his current work. He is creating subtle and shaded graphite drawings on polished marble. He said the hardest part is not wiping off your own work. The graphite barely sticks to the marble so the finished product is displayed under glass.
Even though the studios do not have regular business hours, the group is seen as an important part of the Toledo art scene.
"They are a really strong group of artists. They were one of the first collective groups working Downtown. They have been a force in contributing to the vitality of Downtown and the art community," Mark Folk, executive director of the Toledo Arts Commission, said. "They were the home of the first Meet and Greet in the fall 2004."
Olive St. Studios' events are open to the public. For further information, contact Juchartz at firstname.lastname@example.com or Besterman at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The most obvious reason for neutering is to avoid your dog producing an unwanted litter of puppies. Now we all love puppies and of course they're very cute, but a litter of puppies is expensive to look after and an awful lot of work, not to mention the worry of finding nice homes for all of them. Unfortunately, the numbers of unwanted pets is on the increase so it is more important than ever to make sure that your dog doesn't accidentally add to the problem.
The health benefits to neutering are significant. Neutering removes the risk of many cancers and drastically reduces the risks of others.
Older female dogs who have not been neutered are a risk of a potentially fatal condition called pyometra, which is an infection of the womb.
Neutering may help with behavioural problems and can reduce aggression, reduce possessiveness over toys and food, reduce territorial behaviour towards visitors and reduce the tendency to roam in search of a mate.
When your dog is neutered at Vets4Pets, you would normally drop them off to us in the morning of the operation and pick them up the same afternoon. It is important not to give your dog any breakfast on the day of their neutering but they can be given access to water.
If you have any questions at all, speak to any of the vets and nurses at Vets4Pets about neutering and they will be happy to answer any other questions you may have.

By REID TUCKER
The Paxton Town Council approved changes to the city's water and sewer rate at a regularly scheduled June meeting of near record-breaking swiftness.
At just under 13 and half minutes the meeting was unofficially declared to be the second shortest in the Town Council's history by Councilman Bobby Kemp. Although the meeting didn't run long, the Council nevertheless had time to hear the second reading of proposed City Ordinance 09-01, designed to amend Paxton's almost two-decade-old water and sewer rate pricing structure. When put to the vote, the new ordinance was met with unanimous approval.
The impetus behind the decision to change the rate plan was to alleviate the burden on the city to cover its costs, said Councilman Heyward Thomas.
"We weren't able to make our bond payment on the sewer system without having to take money from other departments," Thomas said. "It gets harder and harder each month to come up with the money that way. That's really not the best way to run a city."
The old pricing structure for water and sewer rates, last altered in 2006, charged customers within the city limits a base rate of $8.95 per month for use of the city's water, which included allowances for up to 2000 gallons of usage. Although the monthly rate was lowered by almost $4 to $5.05 per month under the new ordinance, there is no water allowance, meaning customers will now pay a set amount per 1,000 gallons of water used each month within a 5,000-gallon range up to 20,000 gallons and beyond.
Sewer rates were established along similar lines with a baseline monthly fee of $17 for single-family residential users within the city limits. A 12,000-gallon allowance is in place at the baseline rate, and an additional $2 will be charged per every subsequent 1000 gallons of water used.
These new rates became effective immediately following the ordinance's adoption, but after Oct. 1, 2009, the base rate for water will rise to $7.40 in keeping with adjustments for inflation.
Even though the rate plan has been substantially altered, Thomas said that the bills of those who use less water, and indeed the bills of most residents on the city's water grid, would actually be less under the new pricing structure. Essentially, Thomas said, the idea was to make residents who used more water pay more for it, while at the same time protecting low-income families and seniors from having to shoulder more of the burden. For this reason, the ordinance provides for a flat rate charge (which includes a 2,000-gallon monthly water allowance) of $10.95 available to residents 55 or older.
"[The Town Council was] most concerned about those with limited incomes and senior citizens, since they're most likely to take the worst hit when prices go up," Thomas said. "We didn't want to see them suffer."
The Council was also careful to retain its longstanding authority to waive a one-time payment of water services pending its majority approval, though Kemp said that from now on, the Council would be stricter in adhering to this one-time aspect of the waivers.
In spite of the overall increase in price, Paxton will still maintain its status as the Walton County municipality with the lowest cost for water and sewer usage said Councilman Bill McRae.
"For 20 years [the water and sewer rate] didn't go up, not even to adjust for inflation," McRae said. "Now we're having to play catch-up. However, Paxton residents will still have the cheapest water bills in the county in terms of overall cost."
For comparison, DeFuniak Springs charges customers a base rate of $11.14 monthly for water and $19.15 for sewer usage – 120 percent and 13 percent higher, respectively, than Paxton's base rates for the same services.
In keeping with the meeting's apparent theme of settling city water and sewer issues, the Council took the opportunity to fix new hours for the city's waterworks and grounds keeping staff. Employees of those departments will now be split between working Monday through Thursday, or alternatively, Tuesday through Friday, with workdays lasting 10 hours rather than the usual eight. Mayor Mark Warren said this would allow more employees to remain on duty until at least 5 p.m., which helps out customers by allowing them to avoid paying a $25 after hours fee if service work is required.
"I feel like [the Town Council] has come up with a pretty good plan for everyone involved," Warren said.

July 2, 2014
Summer is here and everything seems to be going well in Cleveland, in 2014. In recent weeks, you've heard a lot about increasing the minimum wage across the United States to help families better to provide for their love ones. I know from traveling to other cities the cost to live is higher in some places like New York and California. But to know that everyone is making at least $10 an hour or higher is great news. California would increase the state's minimum to $13 an hour by 2017, the highest state rate in the nation under a bill they passed recently by the Democratic-controlled state Senate. Seattle's city council also jumped on the bandwagon and approved a $15 minimum not long ago, the highest of any big U.S. city and more than doubled the federal rate of $7.25. The one concern I have is for the state's to mandate all jobs to act accordingly if an employee is already making $10 they should get a raise as well when the minimum wage goes up? The campaign for higher minimum wages started from people working in the fast food area and eventfully went on mini strikes last year to prove their point. Since then, the momentum in states and cities as President Barack Obama's proposal for a $10.10 wage was fought against and held up. Thirty-four states are considering increases, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Chicago lawmakers introduced a bill this week to adopt a $15 minimum wage. But depending on the size of the company, the higher wages will kick in over a three- to seven-year period. Washington already has the highest minimum wage in the nation, at $9.32 an hour. This is good news if everything else is in-line, such as rent and living day to day expenses. In President Obama's State Address, he spoke about the wage increase. "We know our economy is stronger when we reward an honest day's work with honest wages. But today, a full-time worker making the minimum wage earns $14,500 a year. Even with the tax relief we've put in place, a family with two kids that earns the minimum wage still lives below the poverty line. That's wrong. That's why, since the last time this Congress raised the minimum wage, nineteen states have chosen to bump theirs even higher," said President Obama. Now in June Governor Deval Patrick signed legislation that will raise the minimum wage for workers to $11 over the next three years, making Massachusetts a leader in how much states pay their employees by the hour. This Black Governor seems to understand what it takes to survive in this economy. "Raising the minimum wage brings a little relief to the working poor, many of whom do jobs we could not live without and who recycle money right back into the economy," said Patrick in a statement. "By signing this bill, we show the Nation that opportunity can and must be spread outward, not just upward. I thank the Legislature for their important work in reaching this milestone." For years, many Blacks have hustled to make things happen just to keep their doors open. Insurance executive Charles Perry knows all too well what it takes to stay afloat. Pinkney Perry Insurance has worked hard with both businesses and churches. Perry's business has been around for 50 years and this is good for a Black man, but even being semi retired, if you are in the room with him, he is still trying to sell insurance to you (smile). Supporting the Black business over the years has seemed to have faded. Keeping it in the family his sons Richard and Nick now operate and run the business out of downtown Cleveland. They continue to build on their father's legacy. Pinkney and Perry Insurance came from a lot of hard work from these two great men Arnold R. Pinkney (deceased) and Charles Perry who met trying to sell each other an insurance policy. The fast food business is all about making money, Narlie Roberts (deceased) own a lot of McDonalds in the 80's but believed in floor control. Meaning if you only had small money coming in, you better only have a small crew on the floor to save money. He believed in paying well and often rewarded you for doing a good job. Maybe not all small business can afford to do rewards, but sometimes just a pat on the pat or a smile to say thank you goes a long way. When you work for minimum wage already and all your supervisor can do is find everything wrong with what you do while they are doing nothing is no type of motivation for an employee. They fight for higher wages will continue to brew over the next couple of years and hopefully it will benefit workers who deserved a break today. Ohio's minimum wage is $7.95 and hopefully someone will help move this to a higher wage without us having to pay $8 for a Big Mac. Enjoy your summer and remember to mind your business.

After the storm: assessing the damage
Towns and cities across southern Maine are assessing the damage from last week's ice storm, which caused significant power outages throughout New England.
Gov. John Baldacci's office announced Monday afternoon the state would be eligible for federal assistance to help pay for the storm cleanup. Local officials encourage residents to report storm-related property damage at their town office as soon as possible.
About 250,000 Central Maine Power customers lost power during the height of the storm, which began early Friday morning. While most people in Cape Elizabeth, Scarborough and South Portland got their power back by Saturday, some isolated homes and neighborhoods were without power until Monday, forcing many to take advantage of local emergency shelters.
In South Portland, Fire Chief Kevin Guimond said that 80 percent of the city and roughly 20,000 residents were without power at the height of the storm.
"We had a number of very large primary lines that went down, which caused the majority of the city to go without power," Guimond said.
Guimond said the entire city would have suffered a blackout if it weren't for Central Maine Power, which used a bucket truck to prop up a downed line when a utility pole snapped at the corner of Gorham and Foden – a move that maintained power to the Maine Mall area for three days.
"If (CMP) hadn't done that we would have lost the entire city, which we've never had that kind of damage," he said.
Mill Creek businesses, however, were not so lucky. Many lost power and were forced to close Friday and local supermarkets relied on generators to power their coolers.
Guimond said that about 200 of the roughly 20,000 residents without power visited the emergency shelter on Saturday at the South Portland Community Center, which was staffed by paramedics and volunteers from Cape Elizabeth. While more than a dozen spent Friday and Saturday night at the shelter, most were interested in only warming up with a cup of coffee, taking a warm shower or grabbing a bite to eat.
The city opened its Emergency Operating Center at Central Station to coordinate its storm response, which was complicated by a home fire that started when a resident plugged her electric blanket into her generator. Crews also had to secure a 72,000 volt power line off Main Street, near the turnpike spur, for several hours.
Guimond said the department fielded over 170 calls reporting downed power lines over a 24-hour period, beginning early Friday morning. About 17 city streets were closed because of the downed tree limbs and power lines, but all were open as of Wednesday.In Scarborough, officials said a combination of careful planning and continued vigilance helped the town slip through the ice storm fairly smoothly.
The shelter at Scarborough High School opened at noontime Friday, with more than 65 people taking advantage of its hot meals, showers and warmth, Scarborough Fire Chief Michael Thurlow said. For close to 20 people, it was also a place to spend the night.
"We estimate at the peak, 90 percent of the town was without power," Thurlow said Wednesday. "CMP (Central Maine Power) did an excellent job; by the end of the first day, 75 percent of the town had power back."
Businesses as well as residences were affected, with the entire Payne Road corridor without power and no streetlights, he said. Though 50 roads were closed because of downed trees and wires, Public Works crews had them all cleared for emergency access by the end of Friday. Between the beginning of the storm until Saturday evening, Thurlow said there were 302 calls for service.
A home on Herbert Drive was decimated by a fire that started in the wall behind the fireplace. Residents were able to escape the blaze that began about 3 a.m. on Saturday. The Lions Club and the Pine Point Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary donated money to the residents, who are staying with family.
Director of Public Works Mike Shaw said planning and a full crew helped his department get the ice and snow removed and debris cleared away "in fairly short order." Two crews from the department and three ground crews he hired from Risbara Construction worked hard to open roads, prioritized by Thurlow.
"It was a real cooperative effort, real good all around," Shaw said. "CMP was right on – they did a really good job for us that was a big key to us getting back up as quickly as possible."
Shaw said they've now hired a pulp truck and loader to complement the department's dump trucks as they start removing trees and debris from the sides of the roads.
"The week of Jan. 5, weather dependent, we're going to make what we call our last pass through so if homeowners get their debris out to the side of the road we'll pick it up," he said. "We'll post where and when and what order on our Web site."
Shaw said the facility on Holmes Road next to Beech Ridge Speedway would be open for residents to bring their brush for disposal.
Town Manager Tom Hall said the experience the town gained from the Patriot's Day storm last year was invaluable. In the first two days of cleanup, he said, the town has collected 448 cubic yards of debris.
"We really want to be of service to our residents at this time," he said.
Hall said he expects the town will receive federal reimbursement for a portion of the cost of cleanup and added that it has not yet been determined how the Federal Emergency Management Agency will handle reimbursement for residential damage.
The town has organized an ice storm cleanup to run from Dec. 15 to Jan. 16. From now until Jan. 5, Public Works will clear trees and brush from main roads and from areas where there could be a safety concern. Some neighborhood pickup may also take place during this phase.
From Jan. 5 to Jan. 16, crews will pick up debris by neighborhood with only one pickup per street. Shaw has asked that storm debris be placed three feet from the side of the road.
The landfill on Holmes Road is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and three Saturdays, Dec. 20, Jan. 3 and Jan. 10, for drop-off of brush. There is no charge for residents with proof of residency.
The town asks that people check the Web site, scarborough.me.us, periodically for updates.
"A word of thanks to all the various responders and departments in town," Thurlow said. "We're blessed we have such a good group."
Cape Elizabeth had some of the worst damage in the region, according to Town Manager Michael McGovern. He said that the town saw more freezing rain than its neighbors, which brought branches, trees, and power lines down across town. McGovern said that as near as he could tell, 100 percent of the town suffered power outages, most of which lasted through Saturday. He said some residents didn't get power back until as late as Tuesday.
The Fire Department responded to 42 calls over the weekend relating to the storm, including a significant structure fire on Chevrus Road started by problems with a generator.
Beginning on Friday, the town shared a shelter in South Portland, but when that shelter closed, the town reopened its own with the help of the Red Cross at the fire station. That shelter was the last to close in Cumberland County, shutting its doors Monday morning, though McGovern said only three residents used it, and no one spent the night.
The town is offering curbside pickup for storm debris, and will collect as it can in between future weather events. For details on pickup, see the town Web site, capeelizabeth.com.

May 17, 2011
ATHENS----Georgia used a 16-hit attack to defeat Kennesaw State 9-4 Tuesday at Foley Field.
Junior second baseman Levi Hyams got the Bulldogs going in the first with a leadoff double. Freshman centerfielder Conor Welton (2-for-5, 2 RBI) moved him to third with a groundout, and then sophomore shortstop Kyle Farmer notched his team-leading 50th RBI with a bounce out to shortstop. For Hyams, the double extended his hitting streak to six games. Georgia took advantage of a pair of miscues by the Owls to score four unearned runs on four hits in the second inning to build a 5-0 lead. Welton delivered a two-run single and Farmer added a sacrifice fly to highlight the scoring.
In the fifth, Georgia (27-26) made it 6-0 when junior designated hitter Chase Davidson doubled and eventually scored on a two-out, pinch-hit single by sophomore Kevin Ruiz.
Sophomore left-hander Patrick Boling (1-2) pitched the first three innings for the Bulldogs on a staff day. He allowed just two hits and three walks before giving way to junior left-hander Chase Hawkins. He tossed two scoreless innings and Georgia went to sophomore right-hander B ryan Benzor to start the sixth. KSU starter Sean Fream got the loss to fall to 1-5. He allowed six runs (only two earned) on 11 hits in 4.2 innings.
With one out in the sixth, Farmer and left fielder Zach Cone (3-for-5) notched base hits and then pinch-hitter Brett DeLoach came through with an RBI-single off Caden Feruson to make it 7-0. First baseman Jonathan Hester collected an RBI on a groundout, scoring Cone. Then an error by shortstop Peyton Hart allowed DeLoach to come home for a 9-0 advantage. It marked the Owls fourth error on the night.
Kennesaw State (30-22) spoiled the shutout bid in the seventh with three consecutive singles off Benzor as Ronnie Freeman brought in the first run for the Owls. First baseman Andy Chriscaden drew a one-out walk to load the bases for Hart who made it 9-2 with an RBI-single. At that point, Georgia looked to junior left-hander Craig Gullickson. Second baseman Sean McClurken picked up an RBI with a sacrifice fly and right fielder Bucky Smith walked on four pitches to load the bases again. Gullickson battled back to retire Will Howard to send it to the bottom of the seventh with Georgia leading 9-3. Gullickson took care of the eighth inning too and sophomore Earl Daniels pitched the ninth to close it out.
"We didn't play very well towards the end, but we survived," said Georgia coach David Perno. "We've got a shot, and we've got to do something special this weekend. We needed a win tonight, and we got it, although Kennesaw helped us a bit. It's been a while since someone played poorly against us. It was good to see us take care of the baseball ."
The Bulldogs return to action against third-ranked Vanderbilt (42-8, 20-7 SEC) as part of the SEC Baseball Thursday Night Game of the Week on ESPNU. First pitch is slated for 7:30 p.m. EDT. It will be the first of a three-game series to close out the regular season.

Web: New digital archive showcases 185 years of The Spectator magazine
For this of us passionate about print media, it's sometimes useful to look to the past to help contextualise what might play out in the future. For that reason, moves by The Spectator – the oldest continuously-published magazine in the English-speaking world – to digitise its 185-year archive will be of interest to many. It's a work-in-progress at the moment, but the opportunity to delve back to the very first issue launched in 1828, and to chart over the ensuing decades the changes in content, tone and of course design makes for a real treasure trove for those of us still fighting the good print fight here in 2013.

FOLLY BEACH LaJuan Kennedy took a major risk the first weekend of Folly Beachs alcohol ban: She left the island in the middle of a sunny Saturday afternoon.
When she cruised back onto the beach, avoiding the usual bumper-to-bumper wait along Folly Road, she credited the ban. Kennedy owns Fred Holland Realty, which serves as a drop-off point for signatures on a petition to make the new law permanent.
Thats the biggest complaint I get from renters, she said. They wait in traffic for an hour to get here and ask, Is it going to be like this the whole time?
Folly Beach City Council heads to its third and final reading tonight on a referendum that puts the ban on the November general election ballot. Council passed an emergency ordinance July 10 that outlawed drinking on the beach for 60 days following a July Fourth riot that ended with seven arrests and five injured law enforcement officers.
Folly Beach Public Safety Chief Dennis Brown said the island fell quiet after the ban went into effect.
Public safety records show that officers have issued six open-container tickets, one ticket for drinking alcohol in a car, three tickets for disorderly conduct, three tickets for glass on the beach, and they have made three DUI arrests. Those 16 alcohol-related incidents only account for a small fraction of the island communitys 319 calls over the past two weeks.
Tonights meeting could move the ban onto a ballot, but the referendum would not be binding. Some residents have crafted a petition that, if certified by county election officials, could force council to adopt the ordinance almost exactly as written or put the issue to a binding referendum.
Folly resident Susan Breslin said the ordinance, as stated in the petition, simply removes a clause from Folly Beach law that treats the beach differently than any other public space by allowing alcohol. The petition must include signatures from 15 percent of registered voters, or about 331 names.
We have more than that now, but theyre still coming in, Breslin said.
Councilman Paul Hume continues to push for a more comprehensive look at the problem before imposing a new law.
Thats like telling bad guys that they cant use their guns anymore, Hume said. The last two weeks, has it been better? Sure, its been better. After the Fourth of July, it always calms down. Its been ungodly hot, especially inland, so we have fewer day-trippers. Its been cloudy, and people are ticked off because they feel like Folly Beach is saying we dont want them.
Hume continues talking with residents who want alternatives, such as restricted parking in problem areas, portable toilets on busy weekends and an increased law enforcement presence.
We have spent more time talking about bringing your garbage can in at night, Hume said. To say, first of all, no drinking and, second of all, its going to solve all the problems, doesnt seem realistic to me.
Folly Beach Mayor Tim Goodwin acknowledged the return to Follys sleepy, laid-back atmosphere, but wondered if other circumstances came into play these past few weeks.
It was slower last weekend, but it was cloudy and overcast both days, Goodwin said. You dont know how much that had an effect on the crowd. The first weekend with the ban was the weekend after the Fourth of July, which is typically slower.
Asked over and over what happens at the end of the 60-day ordinance, Goodwin has said the city has enough to deal with in the immediate future. But tonight he plans to introduce an ordinance that would make alcohol illegal through the end of the year.

- Gene-Wide Analysis Detects Two New Susceptibility Genes for Alzheimer's Disease (2014)
- Background: Alzheimer's disease is a common debilitating dementia with known heritability, for which 20 late onset susceptibility loci have been identified, but more remain to be discovered. This study sought to identify new susceptibility genes, using an alternative gene-wide analytical approach which tests for patterns of association within genes, in the powerful genome-wide association dataset of the International Genomics of Alzheimer's Project Consortium, comprising over 7 m genotypes from 25,580 Alzheimer's cases and 48,466 controls. Principal Findings: In addition to earlier reported genes, we detected genome-wide significant loci on chromosomes 8 (TP53INP1, p = 1.4×10−6) and 14 (IGHV1-67 p = 7.9×10−8) which indexed novel susceptibility loci. Significance: The additional genes identified in this study, have an array of functions previously implicated in Alzheimer's disease, including aspects of energy metabolism, protein degradation and the immune system and add further weight to these pathways as potential therapeutic targets in Alzheimer's disease.
- The decline of activist stabilization policy : natural rate misperceptions, learning, and expectations (2004)
- We develop an estimated model of the U.S. economy in which agents form expectations by continually updating their beliefs regarding the behavior of the economy and monetary policy. We explore the effects of policymakers' misperceptions of the natural rate of unemployment during the late 1960s and 1970s on the formation of expectations and macroeconomic outcomes. We find that the combination of monetary policy directed at tight stabilization of unemployment near its perceived natural rate and large real-time errors in estimates of the natural rate uprooted heretofore quiescent in inflation expectations and destabilized the economy. Had monetary policy reacted less aggressively to perceived unemployment gaps, in inflation expectations would have remained anchored and the stag inflation of the 1970s would have been avoided. Indeed, we find that less activist policies would have been more effective at stabilizing both in inflation and unemployment. We argue that policymakers, learning from the experience of the 1970s, eschewed activist policies in favor of policies that concentrated on the achievement of price stability, contributing to the subsequent improvements in macroeconomic performance of the U.S. economy.
- Imperfect knowledge, inflation expectations, and monetary policy (2003)
- This paper investigates the role that imperfect knowledge about the structure of the economy plays in the formation of expectations, macroeconomic dynamics, and the efficient formulation of monetary policy. Economic agents rely on an adaptive learning technology to form expectations and to update continuously their beliefs regarding the dynamic structure of the economy based on incoming data. The process of perpetual learning introduces an additional layer of dynamic interaction between monetary policy and economic outcomes. We find that policies that would be efficient under rational expectations can perform poorly when knowledge is imperfect. In particular, policies that fail to maintain tight control over inflation are prone to episodes in which the public's expectations of inflation become uncoupled from the policy objective and stagflation results, in a pattern similar to that experienced in the United States during the 1970s. Our results highlight the value of effective communication of a central bank's inflation objective and of continued vigilance against inflation in anchoring inflation expectations and fostering macroeconomic stability. July 2003.
- The performance of forecast-based monetary policy rules under model uncertainty (2003)
- We investigate the performance of forecast-based monetary policy rules using five macroeconomic models that reflect a wide range of views on aggregate dynamics. We identify the key characteristics of rules that are robust to model uncertainty: such rules respond to the one-year-ahead inflation forecast and to the current output gap and incorporate a substantial degree of policy inertia. In contrast, rules with longer forecast horizons are less robust and are prone to generating indeterminacy. Finally, we identify a robust benchmark rule that performs very well in all five models over a wide range of policy preferences.

I've been scouring the FAQ's to find out if I can post about a "fan done" Duffy page on Facebook. I won't post the URL here until I know if it's okay.
I think I can talk about it? So, in the meantime, if anyone really would like to see it - just use the Search function on Facebook for: Duffy The Disney Bear Fan Club and it'll bring it up. (again if this is against any rules - I will delete this post, just let me know) There is nothing for sale on there - it's simply a fan page.
I didn't start it, a friend of mine did. She LOVES Duffy and I know she'd like to have more people join in. She's got photos of him in various places - including a Disney Cruise.
Like the forum here - the more ways we can help Duffy (and Shellie May!) have some recognition, then hopefully Disney will make sure they keep up with merchandise and things.
So if you are on Facebook, please "like" the page and feel free to post. The more Duffy/Shellie May fans we can gather the stronger a voice we can have?

Night Prayer in Ramadan
Al-Sa'ib ibn Yazeed said: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab commanded Ubayy ibn Ka'b and Tameem al-Dari to lead the people in praying eleven rak'ahs of qiyam. He said: The reciter used to recite the surahs that contain more than a hundred verses, until we would lean on sticks because of having to stand for so long, but we did not leave until dawn was approaching.
When the worshipper has said the tasleem at the end of witr, he should say: Subhan al-Malik al-Quddus (Glory be to the Sovereign, the Most Holy) three times, elongating the vowels and raising his voice the third time, because it is proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did that.
O Allah, accept this (worship) from us, for You are the All-Hearing, All-Knowing, and accept our repentance, for You are the Acceptor of Repentance, the Most Merciful
Thanks to Brother Zaheer Latib

The other problem is that the US has now exported ALL of it's industries, if the car companies go, there will be nothing left. There won't even be toolmakers to make guns and weapons should the US ever be attacked. It has ripped it's industrial heart right out and is now desperately staving off collapse.
If the big three do go down, and should by any measurement, it will be the effective end of the US economy and of the US world power. Congress has now got itself into the position of being a servant to any incompetent or corrupt CEO of the auto industry, they can do whatever they like and congress MUST support them.
In other news Chrysler is only staying afloat by emptying itself. Remember the other day when they laid of 3400 workers? Apparently 7600 took the bailout package, including almost all of their white-collar staff. Their brakes division, the brakes division of an international automaker, had 1 person left in it, and another department (or perhaps that one, the rumors are unclear) had 1 contract worker left. This past Monday was the first day when no one showed up for work and apparently everything has ground to a halt. So the looters have now destroyed Chrysler, the other two are following.
