Video: Timothy Wanamaker Walking into Court
BUFFALO, N.Y. - Prior to his scheduled sentencing Tuesday for his admitted theft of city funds, an attorney for Timothy Wanamaker, who was Executive Director of the City of Buffalo's Office of Strategic Planning from 2004 until 2008, filed an 11th hour motion for leniency for his client.
It was a motion which prosecutors seemed to be in agreement with, and it appeared Wanamaker was likely to be sentenced to as little as probation.
However, U.S. District Court Judge Richard Arcara adjourned the sentencing until December in order to consider the request.
Arcara was unsatisfied with prosecutors explanations of how essential Wanamaker's cooperation was in terms of uncovering other possible misdeeds at City Hall, at one point demanding "straight answers" from prosecutors, to prove to him the amount of co-operation Wanamaker gave federal officials warranted leniency.
This was because in May prosecutors filed a motion opposing a downward departure from federal sentencing guidelines for Wanamaker, only to reverse course in October.
"What happened between May and October?" Arcara demanded to know.
"We were convinced his level of cooperation and the information he provided was sufficient," Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Campana told the judge.
However, when Campana (despite the judge's repeated inquiries) hesitated to provide further details on the extent of Wanamaker's "cooperation", or to shed much light on any ongoing investigations in open court, the Judge granted him time to file the information in a sealed affidavit. "If the investigation is over," said Judge Arcara, "you better say so because those people in city hall don't deserve to work under a cloud if there is none."
"I'm not looking for reasons not to do this (grant leniency)," Arcara said from the bench. "I'm looking for reasons that are valid to do so."
Wanamaker admitted just under one year ago, that he improperly used a credit card provided to him for official business for a wide range of non-work related expenses. Campana, in court, confirmed the amount of misappropriated money was approximately $27,000.
A defendant's sentencing memorandum, filed within the past week by Wanamaker's attorney James Harrington, includes a section entitled "Fall From Grace", in which Harrington writes:
His down fall came because he foolishly used a credit card provided to him for official city business for personal expenses. This was
not only a breach of trust on his part, it was out of character for him. Before and after this, he has always led a law abiding and hardworking life. His lack of personal money was no excuse. He makes no excuses and blames only himself. He's lost his career in urban planning... He put his marriage in jeopardy. Fortunately his wife is sticking with him and supporting him, like he supported her in her fight with breast cancer this past year. He has publicly humiliated himself and his family here and across the country.
Another section of the same court document, entitled "Starting Over", states:
When Tim was contacted by the federal law enforcement agents, he agreed to cooperate with them. He believed this was part of the way he had to atone for what he had done. There were no formal charges filed against him at that time. He voluntarily, and at his own expense, traveled from Virginia to Buffalo on two separate occasions to meet with prosecutors and agents. He was also interviewed by telephone. He provided whatever information he had and responded to all of their questions.
It appears that whatever cooperation Wanamaker extended to authorities may not have been enough to make a case against anyone else in city government. But in the sentencing memorandum, Harrington suggests this should not be used as an argument against leniency.
"As the Court is aware, initially, the Assistant United States Attorney filed a notice with the Court that his office was not
filing a motion seeking a reduction (in sentencing). After further discussion and consideration, however, a motion has been filed with the Court. This reflects that Tim did whatever he could, whether it
resulted in prosecutions of others or not..
According to Harrington, Wanamaker is trying to rebuild his life and career.
"After Tim's plea and loss of his job, he was depressed and full of self-loathing for what he had done to himself and his family. To his credit, he knew he could not let them down or stop fighting. He initially took a job at Kmart earning $8.75 per hour stocking shelves. He was then hired as an auto salesman for Malloy Auto Group in Woodbridge, Virginia where he works on a combination of salary and commissions. Perhaps the truest measure of one's character is how he responds to adversity and picks himself up when down, especially from his own actions. Tim swallowed his pride and started over. He recognizes the dignity in all types of work. He is thankful that he was hired in his current jobs after what he had done."
Harrington concludes by suggesting that a fair sentence for Wanamaker would be 0 to 6 months in prison, and full restitution to the City of Buffalo.
Letters from a few of Wanamaker's business associates and co-workers, urging the judge to be lenient, were also included in the latest court filings.

The thing that first caught my eye about Minnesota's Art Shanty Projects was the mission statement (emphasis mine):
"Art Shanty Projects is an artist driven temporary community exploring the ways in which the relatively unregulated public space of the frozen lake can be used as a new and challenging artistic environment to expand notions of what art can be."
A frozen lake struck me as a fantastic addition to the catalog of overlooked public niche spaces we've talked about before, and one with compelling implications and challenges. Aesthetically, the stark, uninterrupted backdrop evokes a sort of deconstructed museum space, showcasing the whimsical shanties and their performers. Creating art in such an entirely unscripted location is a fascinating prospect – anything could happen.
And, it appears, anything does: the four-weekend exhibition held on the frozen Medicine Lake in Minnesota is self-proclaimed "performance, architecture, science, art, video... More

I spent a couple hours yesterday afternoon with Chef Matt at Marty's Market taking video with the help of the folks at Lockerman Studios. We worked through two simple technique videos: braised kale with onion and garlic and broccoli techniques. These will be worked into 2-3 minute videos that you will be able to use to educate your customers on how to cook your produce.
I have already learned a lot about video production and I'm really excited for what we can do with this medium. I have learned, first off, that it takes a lot of equipment, takes, and time to produce a short video like this. I'll post results as they come available!
Hi! Just wanted to send out a quick note because many people have inquired about this. Member Assembler scheduled payment templates for Authorize.net can now be set to occur every two months, every six weeks, and every three months in addition to the weekly, monthly, and bi-weekly options you've always had.
You can change your payment schedule template at:
Member Assembler > Scheduled Payments > Schedule Template
Any new signups will be set for your new schedule. It will not affect currently scheduled payments from people who have already signed up this season. Remember, this is only if you are allowing checkout with Authorize.net!
We know the power of photos for a website to connect eaters to the farm, but we should also be thinking about video. I think video is a under-utilized in farm marketing. With the smart phone that is likely already in your pocket, you can start harnessing this powerful tool by taking short videos.
Farmer Dave's in Dracut, MA does a lot with video to educate customers from what a "choice-style" pick up looks to like to a new CSA member orientation video.
Here is a beautifully shot interview with a CSA farmer:
Try video this season. Let me know what you come up with!
I have been thinking a lot about CSA member retention in the last few months in preparation for our online CSA conference and in regards to some of the new projects we are pursuing here at Small Farm Central. Brian Moyer at Penn State has done some thinking on this too:
"According to a survey of shareholders of CSA's in the Mid-Atlantic Region that was compiled by Lydia Oberholtzer for the Small Farm Success Project, on average, CSA's have to replace 55% of their shareholders every year. This can be a lot of work and worry every winter when you'd probably rather spend your time planning and ordering seeds for your upcoming season."
Read his article, 'Finding and Keeping your CSA Members' for more information on this really important topic.
Member retention is one of the core concepts we will be exploring during the CSA Expert Exchange conference on March 15th. We'll look at this through the lens of CSA community, CSA education, and more. The conference is only $45 and spots are going fast, so sign up soon!
The four of us all worked at the same farm in western Colorado, albeit during different seasons. We (re)connected at the PASA conference in State College, PA and got to swap stories of the farm over the years. We are all still working in agriculture in one manner or another.
It's not just for Valentine's Day. We're always trying to show our love for our farmers by making improvements based on your ideas and needs. Thanks to a great suggestion by Karlin from Penn's Corner Farm Alliance, we've just added a small tool that might save you a good bit of time: default headers and footers for email.
If you've got a logo or some extra contact information or something you want to include on all of your mailings, this is a great place for you to do the work once and have it carry forward. Just navigate to Connect > Mailing List > Settings and you'll see some new settings down at the bottom that look like this:
You can set these up however you wish. From that moment on, any *new* emails you create in the regular mailing list tool, the Member Assembler mail tool, the automated pickup reminders, the payment requests, or the member renewals emails will have the header and/or footer automatically added on. You'll see it there so you can adjust it for that particular mailing should you need to. Newly created default headers and footers will not affect any saved messages you have customized in the past.
We've got pages of suggestions for improvements from you all and will continue to address them as we have time. Thank you for caring enough to share and please keep 'em coming. Happy Valentine's Day!
Small Farm Central and staff will be among the 2,000+ farmers and other interested parties descending on State College, PA for the Pennsylvania Sustainable Agriculture Conference's (PASA) annual conference. I've been to a lot of ag conferences over the years and, maybe I am biased because this is our home state conference, but I think this is one the best one or two conferences in the country covering issues in sustainable agriculture.
We are sponsoring the conference again this year and will have a centrally located booth, so you can't miss us!
Come on by to talk about the CSA Expert Exchange, Member Assembler, or a farm website.
Ask for one our nice mailing list booklets that you can stick on your farm market table to sign up members. We got these printed up a year or two ago and gave them away as a promotion and still have a few left over that we are bringing to the conference.
Special offer: on Thursday night the staff and a couple farmers will go to Elk Creek Aleworks just outside of State College. We have two spots left and we'd like to fill those seats with Small Farm Central farmers, so email me if you want to come along. We'll buy!
Small Farm Central, along with the Pennsylvania Association of Sustainable Agriculture, is presenting the first ever online conference focusing on CSAs. Details below! I hope you will join us. More details to follow on this conference in the coming weeks, but please visit the conference website for more information.
Attention CSA Farmers! The Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture (PASA) and Small Farm Central are proud to announce the CSA Expert Exchange, a one-day online conference that will bring farmers together to learn about the issues important to them. Topics to be addressed include member retention, member education, and certification and equipment. Noted CSA pioneer Elizabeth Henderson will give a keynote address about the importance of community involvement in creating strong and healthy CSA's.
The CSA Expert Exchange will be held on March 15, 2013 from 11:00am-4:00pm EST. The conference expects to engage between 500-1000 farmers nationwide. Participants will be able to access the conference using any web browser. The conference will utilize video presentations and slideshows with participants interacting via a chat function.

The Mid-Atlantic Fruit and Vegetable Convention brings about 2,500 farmers to Hershey, PA to learn about improving their operations. This year's keynote, which I missed, was by the creator of the "Get Milk" campaign!
Thanks to Art King and Heather Mikulas for inviting me to present during the 'Online marketing toolbox' track. I presented "Best Practices for Farm and CSA Websites" and "Credit Cards, Online Sales, and Demystifying the Tangled Web of Paying by Card".
I think the presentations went really well! In case it helps, here are the handouts I printed for everyone:
If you have worked with the support staff at Small Farm Central over the past three or four years, you may have availed yourself of the gentle support of Shannon Knepper with design or any other issue that came up. At the beginning of January, Shannon and her husband had their first child; a baby girl named Edith. So Shannon is spending a couple months attending to this demanding new customer!

By JOHN SERFUSTINI Sun Advocate associate editor
Cabin dwellers at Scofield's Bolotas subdivision may get a chance to buy property they thought they already owned if Congress can enact legislation for a land transfer from the federal government to individuals.
When that will happen is anyone's guess. Ironically, those who have introduced or plan to introduce bills are members of minority parties in their respective chambers.
Senators Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee, both Republicans, introduced their S. 2056 on Feb. 1. That bill made it as far as subcommittee hearings on March 22 and has seen no action since.
Rep. Jim Matheson, the lone Democrat in the state's congressional delegation, plans to introduce his own version in the House, where his party is in the minority.
Last Thursday, Matheson staff member Pam Juliano explained the elements of the proposed bill to citizens who will be affected.
Basically, the legislation intends to make it possible for the Department of Interior to sell land to people who have records in the County Recorder's Office that "purport to convey title" to the property as of Oct. 1, 2011.
The land in question does belong to the Bureau as a result of a land transfer when Scofield Reservoir was enlarged.
However, purported cabin owners have been occupying and paying property taxes on the land and cabins for decades.
Under Matheson's bill, people who have three years to choose the terms of transfer. First, there is a "life estate" provision which would last until the death of the owner or 25 years, which ever comes first. The title would revert back to the government.
A "property interest" option would allow the title to remain in private hands in perpetuity.
The draft also stipulates that the county will be responsible for paying for a federally-approved property assessment and for an environmental assessment of the lands to be transferred.
The property valuation will be for "raw land" only, meaning it cannot count cabins or other structures in the calculations. Once complete, every square foot in the affected area will have the same value.
Existing cabins cannot be expanded beyond their current "footprints," nor can new structures be built on lots that are now vacant.
Juliano told the citizens at the Event Center meeting that it may take some time for a final bill to be sent to the President for signature.
There are differences in the Hatch-Lee and Matheson bill that could require a House-Senate conference committee to iron out if both bills passed in their respective chambers.

|Researchers describe a new way to create yarns containing exotic materials, from battery ingredients to catalysts to superconductors. Writing in the journal Science, the researchers describe using small amounts of carbon nanotubes as a support material, coating the tube layer with nanoparticles of various materials, then twisting the tube+particle assembly into yarns. Those yarns could then be woven or sewn -- and even held onto their particle ingredients when run through the washing machine. We'll talk about building functional fabrics, and the materials that these advanced yarns might allow.

Just Show Me Self Catering Cottages In Dorset
Welcome to Dorset, an idyllic county of unspoilt coast and countryside along England's southern shores. And dotted about are some charming Dorset self-catering cottages.
Let's take you on a whirlwind tour! Dorset's interior is delightfully rural, with rolling countryside, chocolate-box villages and traditional market towns. Often described as 'Hardy country', whether you prefer to explore on foot, in the saddle or behind the wheel, sightseeing tends to be gentle and very rewarding. Along your travels, look out for farmers' markets for all kinds of goodies like organic blue cheeses and luxury ice-creams - just imagine the feast you can have in your Dorset self-catering cottage afterwards!
Experience the delights of a self-catering Dorset holiday
Perhaps Dorset's most striking feature though is its splendid 'Jurassic Coast', a natural World Heritage Site. Enjoy exhilarating walks along sweeping beaches like Studland Bay, a four-mile slice of paradise protected by the National Trust. This is a great place to pick up the South West Coast Path, a staggering 630-mile National Trail from Dorset to Minehead in north Devon. Do try out some smaller sections for amazing coastal views and wildlife watching.
Castles, gardens, sea life centres, tank museums…days out offer such variety. And remember, your self-catering cottage in Dorset will welcome you at the end of every day!

So another Labor Day has come and gone. Summer's official close. For our community, Labor Day held a special poignancy this season as we cope with the loss of so many coal miners.
But I hope that in the midst of mourning we can take time to reflect on the accomplishments of all who are toiling in rank and file jobs to keep our society functioning. I am not just talking about manufacturing and extraction jobs. I am not focusing on union or non-union, instead I am thinking about the majority of us who go to work each day and just do whatever job we have that needs to be done.
Many of us like what we do and realize that despite the fact that we all love our paychecks, its not all about money. It would be hard for it to be all about money when we are surrounded by stories of athletes who hold out because their 13 million dollar contract, guaranteed for three years is not enough.
It's hard to even conceive of getting paychecks big enough to plunk down on three mansions across the U.S. and still have enough left to buy a diamond encrusted backgammon game for your boyfriend like some pop and movie stars can do. And we are just sickened by the reports of company CEO's who make 250 times what their employees do and get mega million dollar golden parachutes when they leave a company they have driven into the ground.
So we go to work each day, flipping burgers, treating patients, selling office supplies or whatever it is and we smile. We head to the mines, the used car lots and schools to teach and we think about the weekend coming up. We find people jobs, treat people's minds, clean people's toilets and still find time to volunteer.
Each and every day we all add a little piece to our community and society that makes a difference. Some roles are more evident for that, but if all the fast food workers called in sick on the same day, many people would have their own lives disrupted. In a life shattering way? Probably not. But enough for us to value those who are there for our own personal convenience.
I give credit to those who put their lives on the line each day for us. To the police, fire fighters and the coal miners and others who take on dangerous tasks so we can have a great quality of life, I salute you.
And to those who work for peanuts at jobs most of us have never had, I also salute you.
For all the military who are serving in our volunteer forces, I honor you. And for the rest of us who work each day, and make a difference (including all you stay at home moms out there), let's pat ourselves on the back as well.
We are all doing a great job and I hope you all had a pleasant Labor Day weekend.

Drug: Ritonavir-boosted indinavir
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|A Pharmacokinetic Study to Assess the Inter-patient Variability of Indinavir Drug Levels When Boosted With Ritonavir in Thai Patients on Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy
|Study Start Date:
|September 2006
|Study Completion Date:
|August 2010
|Primary Completion Date:
|May 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
This study will assess the inter-individual variability of indinavir drug levels, boosted with ritonavir, in Thai patients. Data will be collected in patients participating in the randomized study, "Monitoring Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) in HIV-infected patients in Thailand (PHPT-3)" (HSC 10668). The first 20 patents in PHPT-3 will have steady-state pharmacokinetic sparse sampling performed at pre-dose, and 1, 2.5, 4 and 12 hours after drug intake 1 and 2 months after initiating IDV/r 400/100 mg, twice daily. IDV/r plasma concentrations will be determined by high performance liquid chromatography. This spare PK data will be pooled with indinavir concentration data collected within an intensive pharmacokinetic studies of IDV/r [Cressey TR, et al 2005, JAC, 55, p1041-44]. Population means and variances of indinavir and ritonavir pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated using non-linear mixed effects regression models (NONMEM Version VI). The validity of the final model was evaluated using a visual predictive check (VPC) and bootstrap re-sampling techniques.

Comments about Marmot Scree Pant - Long (Men's):
Finally even had a chance for a short mountain hike with a pack. Don't know if they exceed my expectations, as I have come to expect a lot from Marmot, but they so far meet any expectation I might have had. Any kind of walking, hiking, or trekking that requires a long pant - these Scree pants are AWESOME. Maybe I'm still a little new to such high-performance outerwear, but I do so look forward to many, many more opportunities to enjoy these. Comfort is at highest level.

Dates: 2016 Grand Canyon Semester information will be available in the upcoming months. Stay tuned!
The Grand Canyon Semester offers a life-changing
learning experience in the high mountains of northern Arizona and the deep
canyon country of the Colorado Plateau. Students with a wide variety of
interests and passions come from across the United States and around the world
to join faculty in the natural sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities
to investigate how humans impact, manage, interact with, and value the natural
world. On backcountry field trips, in classrooms and art galleries, around
campfires, in traditional hogans, and exploring the Colorado River through the
Grand Canyon, we confront key environmental and social challenges in these diverse
natural and cultural landscapes.
The 2014 Grand Canyon
Semester's broad theme is Humans and the Environment, fostering a deep
exploration of how natural and cultural landscapes are intertwined. Using an
interdisciplinary approach, students experience the economic, political,
artistic, ecological, social, and spiritual forces of water, land, time, and
the lives of humans, plants, and animals. Students will explore how Grand
Canyon National Park's management, policy, and research strive to balance complex
issues including mining, dams, tourism, land development, climate change,
biological diversity and human ecology.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Shares of CBS Corp., PulteGroup Inc., and Bank of America Corp. made big moves during U.S. trading Thursday, while Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc., Boeing Inc. and Herbalife Ltd. were among top trending tickers.
Top tickers trending
$CMG: Shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill CMG, -0.25% regained some lost ground after it outlined steps to grow its business at an investor conference on Thursday.
In addition to opening another 165 to 180 restaurants, it may consider expanding overseas and developing its Southeast Asian cuisine theme. It will also test out a new shredded tofu item in the San Francisco Bay area to attract more vegetarians, Dow Jones Newswires reported.
The stock had sank over 5% on Wednesday after the company forecast fourth-quarter earnings below the Street's estimate. David Einhorn: I told you so
$BA: Boeing BA, +0.47% shares closed higher after rebounding from earlier losses. The Federal Aviation Administration had grounded Boeing's Dreamliner 787 jets after a 787 operated by Japan's All Nippon Airways Co. 9202, -0.03% was forced to make an emergency landing. Alarms showed overheating of the jet's main battery led to a burning smell in the cabin. In Japan, ANA and JAL voluntarily grounded their 787s. See: FAA temporarily grounds all Boeing 787 Dreamliners
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services Thursday said Boeing's A credit rating and stable outlook aren't affected by the grounding of the Dreamliners.
FAA grounds Dreamliners

"Although this is an unwelcome development, we do not believe this will result in a material impact to Boeing's credit quality in the near term, and the company has ample liquidity (more than $10 billion in cash and short-term investments, and $4.6 billion of revolver availability as of Sept. 30, 2012) to address the costs of fixing the problem," said S&P analysts in a statement.
@DigDugTrader: $BA ... Is that where all the excess battery inventory from Fisker went...the experts in battery fires.
@WalterRochester: I blame snakes on the $BA plane
$HLF: Herbalife HLF, -1.29% shares remain under pressure as the company took additional steps to shore up confidence in its business model in the wake of harsh criticism from hedge fund manager Bill Ackman.
The nutrition supplement company announced on Thursday that its fourth-quarter earnings are likely to be in a range of $1.02 to $1.05 a share, up from 86 cents a year ago. Analysts forecast the company to earn $1.02 a share, according to a consensus survey by FactSet. Herbalife will report audited results on Feb. 19.
However, the company warned that there may be a temporary increase in expenses due to "recent events" and there was no indication that it would increase its stock buyback ceiling which some investors have been calling for.
In July, the board authorized a $1 billion share repurchase program for five years. "Since 2007, the company has returned $1.5 billion to shareholders through the repurchase of approximately 52.6 million shares and $350 million in dividends for a total of approximately $1.9 billion, or 118% of net income," the company said in a statement.
Meanwhile, activist investor Carl Icahn has reportedly taken a stake in Herbalife, joining a high-profile battle that pits him against Ackman who has taken a huge short position in the company. Read: Icahn buys stake in Herbalife

Answer: Some computers output less power than others through the USB ports. On some PCs, one USB cable is enough, but to be safe and to avoid write errors, connecting both USB cables is highly recommended. If using only one USB connector, the main USB connector must be used, not the secondary connector (short cable) that is attached to the main connector.
Answer: There is a lever on the bottom of the drive. Moving the lever back will cause the cover to open even when there is no power applied to the drive.
Answer: The BDR-XD04 must be connected directly to the computer with its 2 USB connectors when installing the CyberLink software. Please ensure the BDR-XD04 is connected and recognized by the operating system and then restart the software installation.
Answer: To watch Blu-ray titles, you need to read the Blu-ray Disc at 1x. To watch Blu-ray 3D titles, you need to read the disc at 2x. Connection by USB 2.0 can allow reading of Blu-ray Discs up to 6x, so USB 2.0 is more than enough in most operating environments.
Answer: BDXL discs can only be read on BDXL drives.
Answer: The BDR-XD04 will work with newer software in a Windows 7, Vista, or XP SP3 environment. In a limited way, it will even work with Mac OS X software. However, as with all current Blu-ray drives, it will not work with playback software that does not support Bus Encryption. Bus Encryption was implemented into playback software in 2011.
Answer: The Pioneer USB High Speed Driver will only be installed when the bundled CyberLink software is installed. If using other software, it is recommended to install the bundled CyberLink software first so the Pioneer USB driver is installed. Without the Pioneer USB High Speed Driver, 6x writing on BD-R media may not be possible.
Answer: Although Pioneer does not guarantee operation with Mac OS X, being that the drive is connected through USB, the drive can operate in a Mac OS X environment (tested with Mac OS X 10.6.7). The drive should be able to read and write to Blu-ray, DVD, and CD media but it depends on the Mac OS software (finder/disc utility/etc). Video playback also depends on the Mac OS software. Note that the bundled CyberLink software does not work in the Mac OS X environment. Read and write performance will not be the same in a Mac OS X environment.
Answer: No, the drive should only be used in a horizontal (lying down) orientation.
Answer: PureRead and Auto Quiet Mode can be configured as well as enabled and disabled with the Pioneer BDR-XD04 Drive Utility. This utility is provided on the CyberLink software disc. The utility is not automatically installed with the CyberLink software. To start the utility, go to "X:\Pioneer Drive Utilities\BDR-XD04" where "X" is the drive where the Cyberlink software disc is loaded. Ensure that the BDR-XD04 is connected to the computer and then double click on "Pioneer BDR-XD04 Drive Utility.exe".
Answer: Ensure that the drive is connected and recognized by the computer before starting the utility. Ensure that the correct utility (BDR-XD04) is used and not the BDR-2207 utility. Connect the drive to the PC with the two USB cables and restart the BDR-XD04 utility.
Answer: If the USB hub is powered (AC adapter), the BDR-XD04 may work, however the drive's read and write speed may be reduced. The BDR-XD04 will not work if the USB hub is not powered.
Answer: From January 1, 2012, all playback software is required to disable analog outputs from the PC for high-definition copy protected content. For such content, an HDCP display (monitor/TV) is required and it must be connected to the PC using a digital DVI (DVI-D), HDMI, or DisplayPort cable. The best way to know if a display supports HDCP is if it has HDMI inputs. The next best way is to look at the display's user manual. When playing non-copy-protected high definition video (such as home videos), or copy protected DVDs, the computer's analog outputs are enabled and non-HDCP display systems will work. Note: This limitation is not applicable to notebook computers with built-in displays, only when using external monitors.
Answer: If the CyberLink software disc shipped with the drive shows SR: MES110922-03 on the disc label, then a free update from CyberLink is needed for the software to work properly in Windows 8. If the disc label has SR: MES120813-02, then the software already supports Windows 8 and nothing else needs to be done. To download the free update, run the "CyberLink Media Suite" software by either double clicking the icon on your desktop, or single clicking the Media Suite tile. Once Media Suite is running, there will appear a row of icons at the bottom of the window. Above the "Utilities" icon which is second from the right, there is an icon that looks like an up arrow. Click on this arrow. The free update for PowerDVD, Power2Go, and PowerDirector will be displayed as a green plus sign. Click on a plus sign to download the free update. Once you click, a website will be opened. Click on the "Download Free Update" link near the top of the page. When prompted, click on the "Run" button twice to install the update. Once the update is downloaded, click the "Next" button, then "Yes" to accept the agreement, and then click on "Finish". Close the website page, open Media Suite again, click on the up arrow and repeat to update all the software. Note that the update for PowerDirector is large (about 770MB) and will take a while to download and install.
Note that "Free Update" is different from "Upgrade Software". Upgrade software is to upgrade to the lastest CyberLink software at an additional fee. This is not needed for the software to work in Windows 8.
1Note: Triple and quad layer BDXL discs can only be used in BDXL drives.
26x BD-R and BD-R DL write speed achieved using certain media and only with the Pioneer USB driver installed with the included Cyberlink software.

By RICHARD SHAW Sun Advocate publisher
If you intend to run for office this fall, now is the time to act.
Why? Because next week the filing process for open offices starts at the Carbon County Courthouse, and if one misses it, they will be out of luck until the next election.
This year there will only be a few openings in the Carbon County area for the general election that takes place in the fall. Depending on what happens at conventions later this year, a primary could take place, too.
The general election will take place on Nov. 6, but the filing date for candidates for all offices is coming up fast. There are five business days in which a person can register for state and local offices and that period comes between Friday, March 9 and Thursday, March 15.
In terms of national elections, local voters in November will be selecting a president/vice president, a congressional representative for the revamped District 3 (now held by Jason Chaffetz) and for a U.S. senator (now held by Orrin Hatch).
Other state offices open will be the Governors and Lieutenant Governors seats, as well as the State Attorney Generals position.
Two other state offices which will be open for that election cycle is that of representative for District 69 in the Utah House (currently held by Christine Watkins) and for a seat in State Senate District 27 (currently held by David Hinkins).
Locally only one position in county government will be open for election. Mike Milovich, a current county commissioner whose term will be up, has stated that he does not intend to run again. That means the position will be vacant.
Also three seats on the Carbon School District Board of Education will be up. Those seats are from Districts 1, 2 and 3 (presently held by Barry Deeter, Janie Rae Nielsen, and Jeff Richens, respectively).
As of now there are no propositions or referendums on the ballot, but that could change as the legislature ends its session and citizens with certain kinds of interests might put action into place for various measures to be placed on the voting docket in November.

NRCS hydrologists predict reduced spring and summer water supply for much of the West.
This month's forecast is especially important because there probably won't be significant snow accumulation after April 1, according to hydrologist Tom Perkins.
"April is usually the endgame. We're not likely to make up this deficit. Snowpack is not good. Reservoir carryover is not good," said Perkins.
Although other parts of the country got more snow, it didn't have impact in the western mountains, he said.
Water resource managers face difficult decisions due to this shortage, he said. Western states should prepare for potentially increased vulnerability to forest and rangeland fires and mandatory water restrictions. In addition, wildlife that depends on surface water is going to suffer.
According to NRCS Meteorologist Jan Curtis, most Western snowpacks peaked two to three weeks early this season and are now in decline. The best scenario would be for those snowpacks to melt slowly, providing a steady water supply through the spring and summer. This seems unlikely, given the above-average temperatures forecasted for the spring and summer.
"Although NRCS' streamflow forecasts do not predict drought, they provide valuable information about future water supply in states where snowmelt accounts for the majority of seasonal runoff," according to Perkins.
In addition to precipitation, streamflow in the West consists largely of accumulated mountain snow that melts and flows into streams as temperatures warm into spring and summer.
The April forecast is the fourth of six monthly forecasts issued each year between January and June by the national center. The forecast compares the current level of water content in snowpack in the 13 Western states with historical data to help the region's farmers, ranchers, water managers, communities and other stakeholders make informed decisions about water use and future availability.
The snowfall, air temperature and numerous other factors taken from remote climate sites ultimately contribute to water supply. Now that Western snowpacks have peaked, the Governor's Drought Task Force of each Western state will begin meeting to discuss drought preparations.
NRCS will continue to monitor levels across the Western states to provide the most up-to-date water supply information each month. The next two forecasts will measure rate of snowmelt and refine streamflow predictions.
"USDA streamflow forecasts play a vital role in the livelihood of many Americans," said Dave Brown, NRCS State Conservationist. "With much of Utah greatly affected by drought, our experts will continue to monitor snowpack data and ensure that NRCS is ready to help landowners plan and prepare for water supply conditions."
Since 1935, NRCS has conducted snow surveys and issued regular water supply forecasts. NRCS installs, operates and maintains an extensive, automated system called Snow Telemetry, or SNOTEL, designed to collect snowpack and related climatic data in the Western United States and Alaska.
Utah's NRCS Snow Survey Manager Randy Julander prepared a short video report than can be seen on the NRCS YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vT0HWUJdXM.

USU-College of Eastern Utah's 12th annual Bread 'N Soup Night to benefit the Carbon County Food Bank will begin Monday, Nov.1 and continue consecutive Mondays until Thanksgiving (Nov. 1, 8, 15 and 22). CEU student Amanda Van Wagoner, a native of Mapleton, and SUN Center student in charge of the event, notes that "everyone has been working hard to make all the arrangements. It should be another classic year for Bread 'N Soup at the college."
Eastern Utah's Dining Service staff, under the direction of Becky Archibald, volunteers its time each Monday to create three delicious soups, including one vegetarian offering, with rolls and butter. Van Wagoner notes that attendees should look forward to some of their favorites like chicken noodle and cream of potato on the menu again this year.
All are welcome to attend between 5:00 and 6:30 in the Multi-Purpose Room of the Jennifer Leavitt Student Center. Prices are $6.00 for adults, $5.00 for students 18 and over, and $4.00 for students under 18. Children 5 and under are admitted free. For the price of admission, each person will receive two tickets, each good toward one bowl of soup.
Last year, USU-CEU's Bread 'N Soup Night donated a record high $3,000 to the Carbon County Food Bank, making a total over its 11 years to more than $23,000.
