Both units also come with remote units for placement inside your house so you will be immediately alerted whether you are inside or outside. These units also feature advanced sensing technology which greatly reduces the occurrence of false alarms caused by wind or by toys entering the pool water. Highly reliable, these pool alarms will provide you with the security and peace of mind that you need.
Above ground swimming pools should also be guarded by an alarm system in order to ensure the safety of your children.

Ringling College Interior Design Students Win Donghia and RBT Lighting Scholarships
Ringling College Interior Design Students Win Donghia and RBT Lighting Scholarships
July 21, 2011 - Ringling College of Art and Design Interior Design students Nicole Maulella and April White took home scholarships from the Donghia Foundation and the Robert Bruce Thompson Light Fixture Design Competition, respectively. Congratulations Nicole and April!
2011 Donghia Award - Nicole Maulella
Ringling College student Nicole Maulella ('12, Interior Design) has been chosen as one of the recipients of an award of $30,000 from the Angelo Donghia Foundation. The award covers senior year tuition, board and maintenance, books and other requisite student materials. Nicole was one of approximately 225 competitors, with only twelve prizes being awarded.
Nicole's concept for her winning design, Oishii, was based on vareity - which guides her design principle for the organization of the space as well as shapes and motifs for decorative elements. See Nicole's concept statement or visit her blog for more information about her winning project.
Since the inception of the Donghia Student Scholarship Award Program in 2001, a Ringling student has won an award each year with the exception of one. On two occasions, two Ringling students have won prizes in the same year.
About the Angelo Donghia Foundation, Inc.
The Angelo Donghia Foundation, Inc. was established by the late Angelo Donghia, an internationally recognized interior design icon and source of inspiration to the design world. According to Jerrold M. Sonet, spokesperson for the Foundation's Board of Trustees, "Our goal is to assist this new generation of gifted designers so that they have the necessary financial support to further their education, their design awareness and their career opportunities." The Donghia Award benefits deserving students entering his or her last year in a Baccalaureate Degree program. The competition is open to students of interior design at an accredited University, College or School.
Two students from each eligible design program are nominated by their faculty. Each applicant submitted a portfolio of their work. The student portfolio must contain either one residential or one non-residential. Students are encouraged to submit drawings that show a comprehensive spatial approach to their design solutions. Additionally the students are encouraged to show work that shows a range of student's skills such as 3-D computer renderings along with hand renderings as well as hand drawn process or concept sketches where appropriate. Student submissions were juried on merit basis by judges composed of leading interior designers, press and educators.
2011 Robert Bruce Thompson Competition - April White
Ringling College student April White ('12, Interior Design) was awarded "Citation for Innovative Concept" and a $500 scholarship for her winning piece in the 2011 Robert Bruce Thompson Light Fixture Design Competition.
April's winning design, COMMAND, the light, was designed for meeting attendees who could not see their notes during a presentation when house lights were dimmed. COMMAND, the light begins as a pendant light, but allows attendees to transform it into 6 personal desk lights for note taking. See April's full concept statement.
This year's design problem, as well as this year's winners are posted on the Competition website at http://www.rbtcompetition.org/current_winners.html.
Since 2005, a Ringling College student has either placed or won this highly regarded national design competition. Ringling College faculty Seongwoo Nam was April's faculty sponsor.

These reviews are written by independent automotive journalists providing an objective
and reliable assessment to help you make a smart buying decision. 2012 Honda Pilot.
Reviewed By: New Car Test Drive
© 2012 NewCarTestDrive.com
New for the 2012 Honda Pilot is a refreshed exterior including an updated front fascia, grille and headlights. Inside, the 2012 Pilot gets a redesigned center stack and instrument cluster, updated navigation system and better interior materials. Added sound proofing makes for better noise insulation, and several features that were previously options now come standard on the 2012 Pilot.
Also notable is a slight improvement in fuel economy for the 2012 Honda Pilot. Aerodynamic and powertrain adjustments to the 2012 Pilot eek out an extra 1 mile per gallon in the city and 2 mpg in both freeway and combined driving.
The Honda Pilot seats eight, and it can easily handle four adults and four children. It offers cupholders and storage cubbies galore for front, middle and rear-seat passengers. When hauling cargo, the Pilot has enough space to carry a 4x8-foot sheet of building material flat inside.
Pilot is available with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The all-wheel drive version offers a 4,500-pound towing capacity and the ability to handle inclement weather, but the car-like crossover construction of the Pilot makes it better suited to on-road activities than slogging though mud or tackling rocky terrain.
Compared to others in its class, the 2012 Honda Pilot is a decent midsize crossover sport-utility. It keeps pace in terms of storage space and fuel economy, but offers humdrum performance, most notably in its somewhat sluggish acceleration and unimpressive stopping distances. Those who prefer a sportier, more responsive crossover should consider the Mazda CX-9. Other alternatives include the Ford Explorer and Dodge Durango. If you don't need towing capacity, the Ford Flex offers similar space with much more panache.
Panel crimps around the wheel openings aid the rugged look without adding width or bolt-on parts that might promote rust. The rear wiper parks off the hatch glass, allowing it to open separately. The hatch has a hefty pull handle with touch-point releases and is powered on the Touring model, and the bumper has a good cover so sloppy loading won't mar the paint.
All Pilots come with a Class III tow hitch and coolers required for towing; only a wiring pigtail will be needed from the dealer. The top tow rating is a respectable 4500 pounds on 4WD and a modest 2000 pounds on front-drive models.
Storage abounds in the 2012 Honda Pilot. A large, deep center console holds plenty of gear, but its cavernous dimensions can gobble up small items and make them tough to find. A three-compartment storage shelf with rubber lining above the glove box gives passengers a slip-proof space for phones and keys.
Leather upholstery on the Touring model is adequate, but not luxe. Front seats offer good support and the built-in heaters get toasty quickly. Front head- and legroom is ample, and the power seats and tilt/telescoping steering wheel has a far enough range of adjustment for drivers of practically any height.
You won't feel short-changed by the Pilot's second-row, 60/40 folding adjustable seats. Passengers get big cupholders back here, too, as well as storage pockets in the doors. Third row seating, which also splits 60/40, is easy to access and offers adequate space for its class, but only children or small adults would be truly comfortable. The seat cushions for the second and third rows are too low for tall passengers, however, forcing those with longer legs into a squatting, knees-up position. The larger Chevy Traverse and Ford Flex are much more comfortable in this regard.
Third-row passengers get extendable headrests, which significantly reduce driver visibility out the back window but can be stowed in the back cushions when not being used.
With all seats in place, the Honda Pilot offers 18 cubic-feet of space, enough for about six standard-sized bags of groceries side-by-side. With the second- and third-row seats stowed, storage space maxes out at a respectable 87 cubic feet. Large and bulky items fit with relative ease thanks to the Pilot's boxy shape. The cargo area has as assortment of tie-down points and bag hooks, and the cargo floor, equipped with a net, can be flipped up and latched against the third-row seatback to create a basket/shelf capable of holding 22 pounds. There is also more storage below the cargo floor.
The cloth upholstery on LX and EX we found to be comfortable in temperature extremes. The cloth is a subdued design with just enough pattern to hide stains that become part and parcel of any eight-seat vehicle. Just like the priciest Pilot, door armrests have soft cushioned elbow pads and there's no cheap feel in frequently felt surfaces.
The Pilot drives as big as it looks, and we don't mean that in a good way. It's cumbersome around corners and in tight spaces, especially noticeable in L.A.'s crowded parking lots. Ride quality is compliant and comfortable, and the Pilot floats over bumps and chewed-up city roads with ease. Pilot's suspension is tuned softer than that of the GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave yet it leans less in corners than the Toyota Highlander. The Acadia may enjoy a slight advantage in steering feel.
The 3.5-liter V6 takes on a characteristic Honda growl when you push it and you'll need to be towing or accelerating uphill on an on-ramp to require such grunt. For the most part the engine is in the background, never silenced, never rough and never annoying. It uses Honda's Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) to switch off two or three of its six cylinders to save fuel; the ECO light on the dash shows when you are getting best economy and does not necessarily mean the Pilot is running on only three or four cylinders.
The Pilot shifter offers an OD Off switch which locks out the top two gears, so if you want fourth to control speed on long hill descents or winding roads you're out of luck. The Toyota Highlander and Mazda CX-9 perform better in these respects.
Braking performance felt adequate to us, although some industry tests indicate the 2012 Honda Pilot requires much more stopping distance than others in its class. Electronic braking aids, including brake assist, come standard.
NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Laura Burstein reported from Los Angeles; with Greg Whale reporting from Riverside, California.

I REALLY doubt that Tampa will trust their season to Luke Scott again. He'll be lucky to find a team willing to offer him a minor league deal.

PECO's Army of Thousands Ready to Respond to Storm's Devastating Impact
For up-to-date storm information from PECO please visit the PECO.com Newsroom.
Philadelphia – Forecasted to bring upwards of 10 inches of torrential rain and 50 mph winds (with gusts of up to 80 mph) to the region, Hurricane Sandy is expected to result in historic flooding and severe damage to electric lines and equipment.
In response, PECO has mobilized more than 3,000 employees, contractors and out-of-state crews to respond to the devastating effects of this potentially record-breaking storm. This massive effort includes more than 1,500 field personnel from utilities as far away as Tennessee, Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi, as well as field personnel from PECO's Chicago-based sister utility ComEd.
Crews stand ready to repair storm damage and restore service to customers as quickly and safely as possible. Depending on the severity of this storm, there is the potential that PECO may not be able to immediately provide estimated restoration times until we are able to more fully assess damage to our system. Customers who experience an outage or issue with their natural gas service should call the company immediately at 1-800-841-4141. The more customers who call to report an outage, the more effectively PECO can dispatch crews and restore service.
PECO reminds customers to stay safe during the storm. With saturated ground and high winds, customers may encounter tree damage and downed power lines as the storm intensifies. Customers should always assume that downed lines and equipment are energized and extremely dangerous. Customers also should never enter basements that are flooded until power is de-energized. Stay away from any flood-covered electric equipment in neighborhoods, even if electricity has been terminated in the area.
PECO's Emergency Response Organization has been activated since Thursday morning, Oct. 25. Field crews and personnel will work to repair damage and safely restore service to customers as quickly as possible.
If an outage occurs:
Based in Philadelphia, PECO is an electric and natural gas utility subsidiary of Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC). PECO serves 1.6 million electric and 490,000 natural gas customers in southeastern Pennsylvania and employs about 2,400 people in the region. PECO delivered 87.9 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 39.5 billion kilowatt-hours-hours of electricity in 2010. Founded in 1881, PECO is one of the Greater Philadelphia Region's most active corporate citizens, providing leadership, volunteer and financial support to numerous arts and culture, education, environmental, economic development and community programs and organizations.

AUBURN, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- After 50 years, an Auburn barber closed up shop for the last time Saturday afternoon -- and the community wouldn't let him go quietly.
Members of the Auburn Police and Fire Departments lined up outside of Smith's Barber Shop in Auburn just before noon, as Harold Smith gave his last haircut to his son.
Smith was retiring Saturday -- but not before receiving an award for his service to the community, and a special send-off.
Police cruisers and fire trucks gave him a ride along home, before going to his retirement party in Lewiston, where Governor LePage made an appearance.
Everyone from the Governor to the Auburn Police Chief has had haircuts at Smith's Barber Shop -- but Smith said it isn't necessarily the big names that he'll miss the most.
"A lot of the things that come out of the little kids' mouths are the most precious," he said. "It really has been a lot of fun."

Clark Allen
Lindgren Professor of Biology
Patricia A. Johnson Professor
The professorship was established in 2000 by Harold B. Johnson Jr. to honor his mother, Patricia Armstrong Johnson of Hastings, Nebraska. It was previously held by Bruce Voyles. Professor Lindgren joined the Department of Biology in 1992 after having taught for three years at Allegheny College. He received tenure in 1996 and was promoted to full professor in 2006. His scholarship focuses on communication between nerves and muscles at the chemical synapse. He uses electrophysical and pharmacological techniques to study communication pathways in the relevant cells. In addition to the high level of skill in research technique shown in his papers and presentations, they are praised for showing broad knowledge and clarity of presentation. A further measure of the success of his research program is an impressive record of obtaining outside funding from granting agencies where proposals are peer-reviewed and awards highly competitive, such as the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.
His research program is characterized by a high degree of collaboration with his students. Many of these students work in his laboratory over multiple years. Their efforts result in peer-reviewed papers and presentations; more than half of his publications and presentations since coming to Grinnell list students as co-authors who have made notable contributions to the results. Other publications treat pedagogical issue such as the value of introducing research practices in the classroom. He also frequently takes students to regional and national scientific conferences.
He teaches at all levels of the biology department's curriculum as well as courses in the biological chemistry major and neuroscience concentration. Professor Lindgren played a major role in the design of the department's landmark introductory course, Biology 150, which is now a model for other liberal arts colleges. He was also instrumental in developing both the biological chemistry major and the neuroscience concentration at Grinnell. In upper level classes, as well, he is skillful at integrating lecture with classroom interaction. Colleagues and students alike note his commitment to investigative learning and to helping students become comfortable studying the primary literature of scientific research.
Professor Lindgren's service is broad and deep. He was a key leader in developing the New Science Project, now in its second decade (and renamed the Grinnell Science Project), which promotes retention of students from groups traditionally underrepresented in the natural sciences. He served as Project Director for a division-wide Howard Hughes Medical Institute grant from 2004 through 2009, which had as one of its core goals increasing cross-disciplinary communication among the sciences. He served as a member of the committee that developed the Expanding Knowledge Initiative (EKI) to support interdisciplinary teaching and learning at Grinnell, and he was one of the first three Interdisciplinary Fellows. In addition, he served on the committee that oversaw the first phase of expansion and renovation of the Noyce Science Center. He has also fulfilled many of the more traditional service roles, including two terms as department chair, a term as division chair, and service on many other standing committees.

Great Service, Great Goggle

I ordered polarized goggles for open water swimming. I accidentally ordered the wrong size (I need the smaller special ops frame as I am a 5 foot female), and customer service was able to correct my order and ship the right pair of goggles before it was processed. I didn't even have to go through the return process. Order arrived quickly. Can't wait for it to warm up so I can try the polarized part of the goggles out.

Thank you metascapemedia. I'm old enough to remember a LOT from the 80s but I sure don't recall A Flock of Seagulls, so I googled, and I *still* don't remember them! Now, I'm gonna have to check out their hit songs to see if they sound familiar! LOL

Frozen Strawberry Margarita Recipe
Happy Hour: Frozen Strawberry Margaritas
Call me cheesy, but on Summer's hottest days, I can't resist the allure of a blended, fruity drink. This margarita, which is made with the classic elements (lime, agave, orange liqueur), fresh strawberries, and plenty of ice, totally hits the spot. The secret ingredient is añejo tequila — it imbues the cocktail with a smoother, more subtle flavor.

- How to Read a Study Record
Risk factors for Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) involves genetic variations in the alternative pathway of complement inhibitor factor H. The complement system is part of the innate and adaptive immune system. Smoking is the only environmental factor known to increase the risk of Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Using serum samples of Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) patients and controls we will test the hypothesis that smoking increases Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) by increasing complement activation; and that this is positively correlated with known disease variations in the complement factor H (CFH) gene.

Group 1
Case control subjects will be recruited (150 persons). Controls are subjects without AMD diagnosis
Group 2
Case (i.e., within 5 years) subjects will be recruited (150 persons). Cases are defined as subjects with diagnosed AMD.
Show Detailed Description
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|40 Years to 80 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Probability Sample
The case and control subjects will be derived from a group of veterans at the Charleston, SC VA Medical Center.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Inclusion criteria for subjects will be a clear diagnosis of Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
- Inclusion criteria for controls will be less than five small (< 63 um) hard drusen
- At least a 20/40 view of the fundus
- The ability to provide a blood sample, and the absence of exclusion criteria listed
Exclusion Criteria:
- We will exclude individuals with ocular diseases that might simulate Age-related Macular Dengeration (AMD) or preclude its diagnosis.
- Those might include prior laser photocoagulation, cryopexy, media opacity, and inflammatory diseases.
- It is important for potential control subjects not to exhibit media opacity (e.g., cataract), which will prevent visualization of the macula.
- Also, subjects will be excluded if they exhibit diseases that phenotypically overlap with Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) such as drusen or pigmentary disturbance of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), or that provided insufficient evidence to diagnose Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD).
- In addition, subjects with pattern dystrophies, toxoplasmosis, histoplasmosis, degenerative myopia, central serous chorioretinopathy, or any disease or treatment that would diminish the ability to recognize drusen such as laser photocoagulation, prior retinal detachment surgery, posterior uveitis, and trauma will be excluded.

Citizen Murdoch
October 11, 1982
With great fanfare, the New York Daily News announced on May 1, 1982: NEWS TO CITY: WE'RE HERE TO STAY. Its owner, the Chicago Tribune company, had just discovered that it could neither sell nor close the News, and had decided, perforce, to keep it going. On an inside page, the paper announced: TRlB TO RUPERT: DROP DEAD. That blunt message was intended, of course, for Rupert Murdoch, Australian proprietor of the New York Post, the evening paper with which the News is waging the most acrimonious newspaper war the country has seen in years.

...15 years ago the Fire hoisted MLS Cup '98 in Pasadena, Calif.
October 25, 2013
On this day 15 years ago, something slightly unthinkable happened...
The Chicago Fire Soccer Club downed the only other champion MLS had known, D.C. United, 2-0 at MLS Cup 1998 in Pasadena, Calif.
Goals from Jerzy Podbrozny and Diego Gutierrez, incredible stops from Zach Thornton and an MVP performance from Piotr Nowak led the expansion side to the first of two trophies in five days.
Fire head coach Frank Klopas recently reflected on the Fire's '98 double achievement.

Snowden, 29, leaked to the Washington Post and to The Guardian (U.K.) a cache of documents exposing the NSA's wholesale violation of the Fourth Amendment through the dragnet surveillance of phone records and monitoring of Internet traffic.
The Washington Post reports that U.S. officials have requested that Hong Kong detain Snowden on "a provisional arrest warrant."
According to the criminal complaint filed by the federal government against Snowden in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, the former NSA networking contractor will be charged with theft, "unauthorized communication of national defense information" and "willful communication of classified communications intelligence information to an unauthorized person."
The last two counts are violations of the Espionage Act of 1917.
The Washington Post story on the filing of the espionage charges against Snowden reports that the district court chosen by the Justice Department because Snowden's former employer, Booz Allen Hamilton, is headquartered within that jurisdiction and it is "a district with a long track record of prosecuting cases with national security implications."
With the formal filing of the charges against him, Snowden becomes the eighth person to be charged under the Espionage Act by the Obama administration.
Another former government employee, James Hitselberger, was working as a linguist for the U.S. Navy when he became the seventh to be charged under the nearly-century-old law.
President Obama has targeted each of these men — including Edward Snowden — for their efforts to expose government corruption. In fact, the others charged with espionage are targets of an apparent vendetta against whistleblowers in direct contradiction of the president's promise to protect them.
In 2008, then-president-elect Obama declared, "We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance. Barack Obama will strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose waste, fraud, and abuse of authority in government."
Not that politicians have a habit of keeping campaign promises, but President Obama's policy of zealously pursuing, prosecuting, and punishing those who report abuses in government is remarkable for its relentlessness.

Todd I loved this tutorial I liked too that you actually are practicing what you are talking about I cant wait to try these principles. I like the challenge of the different results that can be achieved via manual operation of strobes compared to point and shoot TTl I havent read alot of information on this subject. This is helping me make a decision on the housing I am looking at getting because I wont be using TTL with it.

Submission Pac-Man is NP-hard->
MrSeb writes: "An Italian researcher with a penchant for retro games — or perhaps just looking for an excuse to play games in the name of science! — has used computational complexity theory to decide, once and for all, just how hard video games are. In a truly epic undertaking, Giovanni Viglietta of the University of Pisa has worked out the theoretical difficulty of 13 old games, including Pac-Man, Doom, Lemmings, Prince of Persia, and Boulder Dash. Pac-Man, with its traversal of space, is NP-hard. Doom, on the other hand, is PSPACE-hard."

Inside Higher Ed examined Professor Rob Miller's new crowdsourcing tool that allows more personalized feedback and review for students taking online courses.
"Meet Caesar: the computer system that, like its Roman namesake, divides and conquers. What Caesar divides is large amounts of code submitted by students in professor Rob Miller's "Elements of Software Construction" course at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In doing so, it helps Miller and his graders conquer the problem of getting students timely, useful feedback by combining peer review with crowdsourcing," wrote Alexandra Tilsley for Inside Higher Ed.

A Watertown man was sentenced Friday in Jefferson County Court to up to four years in state prison for possessing heroin.
Daniel J. Borg, 35, also was ordered to undergo two additional years of supervision upon his release after a Sept. 9 guilty plea to third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. He had been accused in a grand jury indictment handed up in March with possessing heroin with the intent to sell the drug Jan. 5 in Watertown.
Mr. Borg was sentenced as a second felony offender, having been sentenced in County Court to 2� years in prison in June 2008 for third-degree attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance. Judge Kim H. Martusewicz mandated that he serve his new sentence in the state prison systems shock incarceration program, in which he would spend six months in a military-style substance abuse treatment program and serve the balance of his sentence on parole.
In other court activity Friday:
Daniel J. Longnecker, 27, whose last known address was 24287 Boot Jack Hill Road, Felts Mills, was sentenced to three years probation and ordered to pay about $18,000 in restitution after Aug. 27 guilty pleas to four counts of fourth-degree criminal mischief and single counts of fourth-degree attempted grand larceny, reckless driving and resisting arrest. He also was ordered to perform 200 hours of community service.
He admitted that on Oct. 27, he tried to steal a 2009 Mercury Mariner from a location on Fort Drum. He also admitted driving the vehicle recklessly in the towns of LeRay and Pamelia. He further admitted that on the same day, he damaged windshield wipers on a Chevrolet Blazer in the town of Pamelia and damaged a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck at the state police barracks in the town and a Subaru in a motel parking lot on Route 342. He also damaged a door at a residence on Route 37 in the town and ran from police who were trying to apprehend him.
Mason J. Cooper, 21, New York City, pleaded guilty to third-degree attempted criminal possession of a controlled substance. He admitted that he tried to possess heroin with the intent to sell the drug June 25 in the town of Watertown. He is expected to be sentenced Nov. 8 to 1� years in prison, followed by two years post-release supervision. Judge Martusewicz will recommend, but not mandate, that he serve his sentence in the shock incarceration program.
Alice K. Kerr, 45, Cortland, formerly of Brownville, pleaded guilty to fourth-degree grand larceny and second-degree criminal trespass. She admitted that on Oct. 20 in the town of Pamelia, along with another person, she stole more than $1,000 worth of diesel fuel. She also admitted that on June 18, 2012, she entered a residence on Ashland Road in the town of Lyme without permission. She is expected to be sentenced Dec. 10 to an unspecified amount of time served at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building and five years probation. She also will be ordered to pay her share of $4,463 in restitution.
Harold Anthony III, 26, of 717 Myrtle Ave., Apt. 1, pleaded guilty to fourth-degree criminal mischief and resisting arrest. He admitted that he damaged a door at his apartment Aug. 21 and that he struggled with police as they attempted to arrest him the next day. He is expected to sentenced Dec. 10 to three years probation.
James D. Manton, 44, whose last known address was 24021 Route 12, Apt. 9, pleaded guilty to second-degree criminal contempt. He admitted that he violated an order of protection held by Heather M. Lavancha by being in her presence Sept. 4 in Watertown. He subsequently was sentenced to an unspecified amount of time served at the PSB.
In court activity Thursday:
Benjamin B. Bleidorn-Piper, 33, whose last known address was 118 Highland Ave., pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal possession of a weapon and was referred to Drug Court. He had been charged in April with possessing an assault weapon at his residence. If he successfully completes the substance abuse rehabilitation program that is designed to serve as an alternative to incarceration, his felony conviction will be vacated and he will be allowed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor. He then would be sentenced to three years probation. If he is unsuccessful, the felony conviction will stand and he will be sentenced to two years in prison, followed by 1� years post-release supervision.
Julian V. Miller, 23, of 741 Mill St., pleaded guilty to second-degree attempted assault. He entered his plea using an Alford plea, meaning he did not admit to the underlying facts in the case, but was pleading guilty to avoid the possibility of being convicted of a more serious offense at trial. He had been accused of hitting Jacob Patrick in the face with a large stick Aug. 5 in the town of Ellisburg. Sentencing was deferred until Mr. Miller completes a job placement program. He was placed on one-year interim probation in the meantime. If he completes the program, his felony conviction will be vacated and he will be allowed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor. If he is unsuccessful, he will be sentenced to 11⁄3 to 3 years in prison.

FLO Invites Expertise on Revamp of Fairtrade Standards
Today, FLO starts consultations for its year long project to craft Fairtrade Standards to bring deeper impact for producers.
Designing a New Standards Framework (NSF) is part of FLO's overall strategy to strengthen, broaden and deepen Fairtrade's impact by ensuring our activities best meet the needs of Fairtrade farmers, workers and traders. The reorganization will be built on the current standards model but it aims to help strengthen producers' social organization and self determination; reinforcing the unique features of the Fairtrade standards and building the basis to create an even more effective Fairtrade system.
In taking the Fairtrade Global Strategy forward, FLO has set forth an action plan to reshape Fairtrade standards. The project was launched in January 2010 and aims at delivering the NSF to the FLO Board for final decision during its meeting in December 2010. It is expected that the new standards will be used in auditing and certification by FLO-CERT from 2011 onwards.
Unique to Fairtrade
Under the current model, Fairtrade Standards are divided into Generic and Product specific producer standards. This covers Small Producer Organizations, Hired Labor and Contract Production. There are also Generic and Product specific trade standards that lay out the requirements for traders.
The new framework changes this by creating sets of standards for producers and traders divided into three pillars: Production, Trade, and Business & Development.
The addition of standards that apply to Business & Development will be unique to Fairtrade since no other label or system has this model built into its standards.
The concept of Business & Development for both producers and traders is to maintain requirements that are unique to Fairtrade: like mandatory social organization, the Fairtrade Minimum Price, Fairtrade Premium and pre-financing. But with the NSF, in addition to these requirement a template is provided with proposed topics for development activities that producers and traders can chose from according to their own development strategies and needs. The new template sets the framework for how producers and traders can create impact as desired by themselves for themselves.
Call for Expert Advise
Stakeholder input is the key to the development of the NSF. We invite all interested parties to participate in the public consultation phase on the draft framework from June 15th to August 15th, 2010.
Click here to to download the consultation documents. Most importantly, please read the Guide to Consultation first for a general overview of the process and how to be involved. FLO looks forward to engaging with all stakeholders in this consultation.
For more information please contact: Dorothee Jung, Standards Unit at FLO email@example.com.

Five Reasons to Bow to Big Ben Roethlisberger. ~ Joe Yeoman
Big Ben Borrows Bazooka to Banish Bad Guys and Bravely Bail Out America.
The Super Bowl, the world's greatest holiday, is bearing down on us. As a countdown, I will be supplying you, America, with daily blasts about the NFL, parties, and the SB. ~ Joe Yeoman
In this post, I plan on dissecting a man's inner-workings and prove to you, my oscillateable reader, to sheath your hate and embrace a man that makes you more complete.
Look, I know some of you out there in "Liberal" America hate football because of the barbaric nature of the game; that it is sponsored by enormous, nature hating corporations; that it is truthfully a boys' club; that at times you are really intrigued by the hype and media attention, but this bothers you because of your "alternative" lifestyle—let alone how many people out there hate Ben Roethlisberger. Well, the NFL is amazing; it is a ballerina act combined with a demolition derby. It is America's game, and Big Ben is our poster child.
Here are the five main reasons that you should stop slinging mud and start giving hugs:
1. It was "alleged".
We all know that Ben made a "mistake"—it was all over the news. This "mistake" may or may not have been that he "exposed" himself to a 20-year-old girl at a nightclub, where he had "bought" her drinks, and then followed her into the bathroom after repeated "no's", and then, as the accuser put it:
"I still said no, this is not OK, and he then had sex with me," she wrote. "He said it was OK. He then left without saying anything."
What he may or may have not done doesn't matter. Those are his personal issues. I am neither a judge nor jury; I am a consumer. Ben is a product on the field; what he does off that field, we should care less about.
Who are we to regulate a private industry? Who are we to cast judgment on an American that hasn't been proven guilty, even when another woman came forward, and even though there was the sexual assault charge in Nevada, and even though there might be a second Nevada "incident", where he may or may not have paid "hush-hush" money? He even went on CBS to admit his "mistakes". He was suspended for six games, eventually reduced to four, and he went through "physiological profiling". What more do we want? What more can he do?
Instead, we drag his name through the mud. Other news organizations and websites publish libel pictures of him drunk at a party. Then we scream and shout "off with his head". This isn't France. This is America. And in America, we grant second chances, sometimes third, and fourth chances. We aren't guilty until proven guilty. And we find it okay to let your bodyguard do his job by guarding the bathroom, when we may or may not be soliciting sexual favors for an autograph. (How do we know he just didn't need to go to the bathroom?)
As for the suspension, it cost Big Ben—and the city of Pittsburgh—2.8 million dollars.
What matters is that we buy his jersey, get a foam finger, and cheer him on as he goes through this tough time.
2. He's a "working-class" Kinda Guy.
Big Ben has come to symbolize the "Joe Average" of NFL players. He is neither particularly good-looking, a la Tom Brady, nor is he very athletic looking. He projects the aura of a fraternity fellow, just looking to make it in this life, while waiting in line to consume a frothy beverage served from a metal cylinder.
He has a beard.
His playing style is also conducive to middle America; he's not into memorizing the playbook fully or working on his timing. Instead, he uses his "athletic" ability to create plays (i.e., he's like a steel mill guy; he gets it done).
It doesn't matter that he has a 108 million dollar, eight-year contract—after making 22.26 million on his last deal. For a guy with two, count 'em two, Super Bowl rings that is day laborer change. With that contract, he brings to Pitt the toughness that only the first NFL player to host WWE's Monday Night Raw, for the Diva Bowl, can.
3. He's Better than You.
Look, Big Ben crashed his motorcycle, where he was in critical condition and broke his nose and jaw. This was in 2006, and he came back to play that year. The best part—he wasn't even wearing a helmet when smashed his face into an automobile.
Personally, when I broke my jaw, I was barely able to earn a minor in Theater during my undergraduate, let alone knocking the Bengals out of the playoffs.
He also has a line of Big Ben's BBQ Sauce. The mild BBQ is "a sweet tasting sauce blended with a touch of Cajun. It is smooth in texture and taste. Perfect on all types of meat and chicken dishes." See, Big Ben doesn't have time to worry about the fact that "Chicken" is actually a "Meat". Just like us, he isn't infallible, but the difference is that he is willing to admit his slight defects by putting his name on an improperly and redundantly labeled product.
These are the qualities we look for in a leader.
4. He's a Winner.
His regular season record is 60-26, and he's 9-2 in the playoffs—with two Super Bowl rings. Winner. 'Nuff Said.
He's the founder of the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation. They "seek to support police and fire departments throughout the US with a particular emphasis on support for service dogs and to enhance the quality of life for residents of Findlay, OH and Pittsburgh, PA." He supports America, Firefighters, the Police, and Dogs. Winner. 'Nuff Said.
He's got an Official Ben Roethlisberger website. The purpose of the site is "to provide fans with the latest news on the career and community involvement of Ben Roethlisberger." This shows that he's connected to the fan base; he understands his roots. Winner. 'Nuff Said.
5. 'Cause it's the F-ing Super Bowl.
Just like you deal with the family members you hate during holidays, let Big Ben into your heart this Feb. 6th. Don't be a lame-o by watching another channel, doing laundry, or going for a walk. Instead, knock back a few brews and cheer for Big Ben. And if you are still spiteful, give thanks for the Packers. Just make sure you tune in.
Bonus…Wicked Nickname.
Look, he's named after a British monument, and well, the British rule. Americans have a love affair with them—just look at Beatle Mania. Maybe I have "Big Ben" fever. All I know is that I want my hero to be named after something foreign (coincidentally, I idolize Paris Hilton). What is more American that the re-appropriation of another culture's customs?
If you love America, then you already love Big Ben.
Wink, Wink.
Nod, Nod.

"He also has a beard." This is hilarious. I laughed my way through the whole thing.
He's also getting married. And marriage is an American institution.

Great article! It's not just Big Ben though, separating the man from the athlete is something just about every sports fan needs to be able to do. I'll cheer my heart out for him on the field, but in real life? What a douche… A douche with a sweet beard.
There's several photos of him with sweet, greasy, mullety hair.
Thanks for the post.
Worthlessburger is his real nick name and Santonio is the only reason he has for winning that last Super Bowl. But my god, what a great american this man is. Fat, greedy, and unwilling to fully take the blame for anything. Did anyone happen to see his interview? I'll reflect about things after this game. Bouncin those questions away.
Yikes – what's going on with the grammar here? Looks like the JKSDP needs to implement some remedial writing courses. Yeah, it's a blog, but come on. . . .
There's a C in HumperdinCk.
And thank you for your comment—I'm sorry. I hope you enjoyed some of the article.
Sorry that sounded pretty sharky and downright mean. I didn't intend on hurling mud.
I looked through and fixed some of the problems. I also left most of 'em to affect the tone.
If you have major problems, you can shoot me an email, and then I might be able to resolve them.
This is hilarious! I don't watch football, but will be paying attention to more than just super bowl commercials now. Great post.
Thanks Audrey. Personally, I enjoy the Budweiser commercials.
[…] (as I am), but that doesn't mean you can place larger blame on an institution. For every Roethlisberger, there are hundreds of players that are good men and shouldn't be placed in the same […]

Dr. Lynn Webster goes over the signs of overdose with some senior citizens at the Price senior center on March 3.
These statistics show the severity of the problem Utah is facing with prescription drug deaths.
Webster lectured to faculty, staff and mental health professionals at the College of Eastern Utah.
As the prescription drug problem continues to plague cities and towns all over America, Carbon County has taken a prevention based stance in fighting the problem with federal grant money provided thought the State Prevention Framework States Incentive Grant program at Four Corners Behavioral Health. Their most recent attack on the epidemic came in the form of education provided by Lifetree Medical Director Dr. Lynn Webster, who spoke to eight groups in the local area last week.
Webster educated students, faculty and staff and behavioral health professionals at the College of Eastern Utah; health care providers at Castleview Hospital and the East Carbon Medical Clinic; law enforcement officials in East Carbon; seniors and the Price and East Carbon senior center and the general public.
According to Webster's information, five people are dying per week in Utah from legal prescriptions, mostly long-acting opiates. Additionally, the majority (3/5) are dying within about one month of seeing their physician.
On a local level, Four Corners Substance Abuse Prevention Specialist Liz Ferguson, stipulated that in 2005, five individuals died from prescription drug overdose. That number rose to eight in 2007 and while three deaths may seem like a small change it is very significant considering the county's population.
"We have a very high prescription mortality rate per capita in this area," said Ferguson. "And if something is not done for education and prevention things aren't going to get any better."
Dr. Webster explained to all groups some of the reasons why prescription drug deaths are on the rise. He made the following distinctions between their different kinds of misuse:
â¢Misuse occurs when medical use of a substance for purposes other than directed or indicated is enacted.
â¢Abuse occurs when any illegal drug is used or when intentional self-administration of a medication for non-medical purposes takes place.
â¢Addiction is constituted when a primary, chronic, neurobiologic disease characterized by one or more of the following behaviors: impaired control over drug use, compulsive use, or continued use despite harm and craving.
Lines drawn by Dr. Webster between illicit and licit use of the medication were defined by the following differences. Where both classifications would swallow or chew the medication, only illicit drug users were defined as those who inject or snort medication that are not designed for this purpose.
The level of Dr. Webster's research is substantial and complex, however, his presentations began with the following simple objectives:
â¢To understand the prevalence of unintentional overdose deaths.
â¢To understand the probable causes for unintentional overdose deaths.
â¢And to understand how to reduce the incidence of unintentional overdose deaths.
His answers to these pressing issues began with a comprehensive educational approach for health care providers, patients, insurers and the general public. Then agencies should begin creating practice guidelines for chronic pain management as well as professional management of abuse, addiction and diversion.
Webster showed data to support the fact that people all over the country had died due to both misuse of the long-acting pain medication methadone and the correct use of it under improper dosage recommendations.
This problem is as serious in Utah as anywhere else in the nation. In 2007, prescription drug deaths surpassed motor vehicle crashes as Utah's leading cause of injury death, totaling 734 poisonings.
Webster recommended following these six guidelines when taking medication to avoid accidental death:
â¢Never take prescription medication prescribed to another individual.
â¢Never adjust the doses prescribed by a physician.
â¢Never mix medications with alcohol.
â¢Taking opiates with other depressants such as sleep aids or anti-anxiety medication can be dangerous.
â¢Always keep all prescribed medications in a safe place.
â¢Always dispose of any unused or expired medications in a fashion that ensures that they can not be used by another individual.
When speaking to seniors, Dr. Webster explained the problems with flushing medication: it creates potential contamination in the sewage systems. He instead recommended that people take the medications and grind them up with coffee grounds, get the mixture wet and throw the remains away in a sealed bag on the day the trash is picked up.
For further information concerning the education and prevention of this nationwide epidemic contact Four Corners at 637-2358.

Open Studio hours will be available during the month of November for Continuing Studies (CSSP) students who are enrolled in, or have successfully completed, Intro to Book Forms (BK105) or Letterpress (LTP150), or have the written consent of the LBAC Coordinator. November will be the "beta test" for this new offering at the Letterpress and Book Arts Center, which we hope to make available on a monthly basis during the CSSP Fall and Spring ART seasons.
The Letterpress and Book Arts Center at the Ringling College of Art and Design is an interdisciplinary facility for education, creative research, collaboration, and production. The mission of the center is to bring together students, faculty, staff, visiting artists, alumni, friends, and other members of our community to honor, explore, and advance the potential of artists' publications to serve as connections between art, media, technology, and theory. The Center hosts undergraduate classes, lectures, workshops, and demonstrations, and facilitates the production of artists' publications by visiting artists, faculty, students, and community members.
The Letterpress and Book Arts Center was established at the Ringling College of Art and Design in May of 2011, with the acquisition of Harold and Judilee Sterne's studio. Harold "Hal" Sterne, who passed away in 2010, began printing at the age of 14 and is a central figure in the history of letterpress printing and equipment preservation. Hal co-founded NA Graphics with Tom Bell and purchased Vandersons (previously Vandercook & Sons) just days before the company was scheduled to close its doors. As Fritz Klinke (current owner of NA Graphics) explains, if it weren't for Hal, "we would have nothing in the way of support for these presses today."
The Ringling College Letterpress and Book Arts Center currently houses five operational printing presses, including a Chandler and Price 8x12 Old Style platen press, two Vandercook SP-15 flatbed cylinder presses, a Vandercook Universal III AB, and a Nolan Standard proof press. The Center is generously equipped with over 400 cases of type, 4,000 metal engravings, and an Anderson Vreeland Orbital XI photopolymer platemaker. In addition, the Center houses a variety of tools for bookbinding, box making, and creative packaging, with two book presses, a D&K 210M dry mounting press, a Golding Pearl guillotine, an Ideal 4315 guillotine, an Ideal 1046 Kutrimmer, and two additional paper cutters. Hal's extensive library of printing, bookbinding, and graphic arts resources, which was generously donated to Ringling College of Art and Design by his wife Judi, is also available for on-site access at the Center.
The Letterpress and Book Arts Center can be found on the Ringling College campus in the Edward & Carol Cheek Center. The building is located on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Way, between Old Bradenton Road and Cocoanut Avenue. For more information, or to schedule a visit to the Center, please contact Bridget Elmer, Coordinator of the Letterpress and Book Arts Center, at email@example.com or 941-309-4049. You can keep up with latest news at the Center by following us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

- Congressional Republicans and Democrats begin their fiscal cliff gambits.
- Pressure builds on the right for Romney to release more tax returns.
- He says he doesn't want to be attacked for what's in them.
- Romney's hesitancy might just be about what happened in 2009.
- Laid off steelworker no Obama fan either.
- Americans campaign in mercantilism, govern in free trade.
- The way we live now: temp work.
- The Assad regime begins to crack.
- And George W. Bush explains the presidency.
Steve Jobs founded Apple. He never owned a single piece of road
building equipment and probably couldn't afford to pay for it anyway.
Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. Even though he was a prolific
inventor, he never had the money or labor to build roads, either.
But never fear, paulejb!
There's these wonderful things called trucks. Ever hear of 'em? They pick stuff up until there's no more room in 'em and then they take that stuff to places where it's sold! It's all magic (rocket sergery for teh tupid like paulejb)!
They're part of another industry:
The shipping industry!
Guess what Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs used? I'll give you at least five guesses and a half an hour head start!
Ok. Five guesses and a half an hour is apparently not enough.
Oh, well.
paulejb keeps looking at those contrails high in the sky and thinks:
"I wish I could think like that!"
Thomas Edisons' light bulbs would never have shipped. Steve Jobs would not have been able to ship his stuff either. This isn't rocket sergery, paulejb.
Only a mind numbed lib robot would believe that men like Edison or Jobs would have been stopped by the lack of a road. They would have just paved their own roads.
Barack Obama and the rest of you libs are too small minded to grasp the concept of success. You all believe it gets handed to you on a platter by an almighty government.
P.S. What is "rocket sergery," genius?
paulejb For The Loss!
I'm certain its drugs or Citizens United money, Mr. O.
I mean, this is the first time I've ever seen someone agree with me so vehemently!
They would have just paved their own roads
I'm sure you can find tons of historical facts about how companies just built roads everywhere and didn't ask the government to invest in areas to make it possible for them to invest or grow.
But not you; faith in what you say is more important then facts.
Problem with you of course is that you mistake having ideas with being able to put your ideas into practical use; practicality is what you need infrastructure for - ideas - all you need is a bright moment.
I do think that paulejb has been drinking more than one coup of whatever it is he's drinking.
According to Barack Obama, Steve Jobs owed his great success to the person who built his garage.
Have we ever had a president so out of touch with reality before?
Actually, someone somewhere built those computers and not in his garage and shipped them probably from Hungary or Poland and landed on "socialized" runways at "socialized" airports and put them into truck on "socialized" roads to get to the stores which are usually located near "socialized" roads in a city with "socialized" services.

Live Prices Coming Soon
$9.99 MSRP (actual price may vary)
Our team is currently searching the web to find you the best prices! Come back soon to see where it's in stock, and how much it costs.
What It Is
Based on the Nick Jr. show Dino Dan, this is part of a new line of toys based on the show. The toys are designed to allow kids to pretend to interact with dinosaurs, just as Dan does on the show. There are four dinosaurs to choose from in the Bonus Pack collection: Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and Brachiosaurus. Each is sold separately. In each Bonus Pack, kids receive a dinosaur model with moving parts and a full-length Dino Dan episode along with a special access code. Just press your finger to the black area on the information card to reveal the access code, then enter the code at DinoDan.com.
Is It Fun?
Dino Dan follows the adventures of a little boy, Dan, who is fascinated by dinosaurs and imagines seeing them in his real world. If kids are fans of the show, then they'll like collecting these dinosaur figures. The figures are very detailed, but we're not sure that the dinosaurs' bright colors are really representative of actual dinosaurs. (Perhaps the bright colors are to attract kids' attentions.) The information cards, though, give kids a more accurate and brief overview of the dinosaurs.
Who It's For
The Dino Dan Bonus Pack is for ages 5 and up. This is probably best for young kids who like the show and the colors of the dinosaurs. Older kids are likely to want something less whimsical if they are playing dinosaurs.
What To Be Aware Of
The Dino Dan Bonus Pack is available at Toys "R" Us and ToysRUs.com.
We noted that the box said "paleontologist approved." The box features the name of the Royal Tyrell Museum, a Canadian dinosaur museum, but no other information was readily available. However, GeoWorld says that the Dino Dan toy line was designed by Italian paleontologist and geologist Dr. Stefano Piccini.
We were interested to find out where the bright colors on the dinosaurs came from in the show and in the toys, but we couldn't find any information that would indicate this was an accurate representation. (This, however, is true of any dinosaurs. We're all just guessing.)
