Accreditation in the U.S.
The United States has no federal Ministry of Education or other centralized authority exercising single national control over postsecondary educational institutions in this country. The states assume varying degrees of control over education, but, in general, institutions of higher education are permitted to operate with considerable independence and autonomy. As a consequence, American educational institutions can vary widely in the character and quality of their programs.
In order to insure a basic level of quality, the practice of accreditation arose in the United States as a means of conducting nongovernmental, peer evaluation of educational institutions and programs. Private educational associations of regional or national scope have adopted criteria reflecting the qualities of a sound educational program and have developed procedures for evaluating institutions or programs to determine whether or not they are operating at basic levels of quality
Some Functions of Accreditation
- Verifying that an institution or program meets established standards;
- Assisting prospective students in identifying acceptable institutions;
- Assisting institutions in determining the acceptability of transfer credits;
- Helping to identify institutions and programs for the investment of public and private funds;
- Protecting an institution against harmful internal and external pressure;
- Creating goals for self-improvement of weaker programs and stimulating a general raising of standards among educational institutions;
- Involving the faculty and staff comprehensively in institutional evaluation and planning;
- Establishing criteria for professional certification and licensure and for upgrading courses offering such preparation; and
- Providing one of several considerations used as a basis for determining eligibility for Federal assistance.
The Accrediting Procedure
- Standards: The accrediting agency, in collaboration with educational institutions, establishes standards.
- Self-study: The institution or program seeking accreditation prepares an in-depth self-evaluation study that measures its performance against the standards established by the accrediting agency.
- On-site Evaluation: A team selected by the accrediting agency visits the institution or program to determine first-hand if the applicant meets the established standards.
- Publication: Upon being satisfied that the applicant meets its standards, the accrediting agency grants accreditation or preaccreditation status and lists the institution or program in an official publication with other similarly accredited or preaccredited institutions or programs.
- Monitoring: The accrediting agency monitors each accredited institution or program throughout the period of accreditation granted to verify that it continues to meet the agency's standards.
- Reevaluation: The accrediting agency periodically reevaluates each institution or program that it lists to ascertain whether continuation of its accredited or preaccredited status is warranted.
Types of Accreditation
There are two basic types of educational accreditation, one referred to as "institutional" and the other referred to as "specialized" or "programmatic."
Institutional accreditation normally applies to an entire institution, indicating that each of an institution's parts is contributing to the achievement of the institution's objectives, although not necessarily all at the same level of quality. The various commissions of the regional accrediting agencies, for example, perform institutional accreditation, as do many national accrediting agencies.
Specialized or programmatic accreditation normally applies to programs, departments, or schools that are parts of an institution. The accredited unit may be as large as a college or school within a university or as small as a curriculum within a discipline. Most of the specialized or programmatic accrediting agencies review units within an institution of higher education that is accredited by one of the regional accrediting agencies. However, certain accrediting agencies also accredit professional schools and other specialized or vocational institutions of higher education that are freestanding in their operations. Thus, a "specialized" or "programmatic" accrediting agency may also function in the capacity of an "institutional" accrediting agency. In addition, a number of specialized accrediting agencies accredit educational programs within non-educational settings, such as hospitals.Note: The U.S. Department of Education does not have the authority to accredit private or public elementary or secondary schools, and the Department does not recognize accrediting bodies for the accreditation of private or public elementary and secondary schools. However, the U.S. Department of Education does recognize accrediting bodies for the accreditation of institutions of higher (postsecondary) education. If an accrediting body which is recognized by the Department for higher education also accredits elementary and secondary schools, the Department's recognition applies only to the agency's accreditation of postsecondary institutions.
The Department's recognition of accrediting agencies does not extend to the accreditation an agency may grant to foreign institutions or programs.
Accreditation does not provide automatic acceptance by an institution of credit earned at another institution, nor does it give assurance of acceptance of graduates by employers. Acceptance of credit or graduates is always the prerogative of the receiving institution or employer. For these reasons, besides ascertaining the accredited status of a school or program, students should take additional measures to determine, prior to enrollment, whether their educational goals will be met through attendance at a particular institution. Those measures should include inquiries to institutions to which transfer might be desired or to prospective employers.

About the ManufacturerBorn and raised in New York City, Thomas Paul got his start in the fashion business working as an intern at DKNY, in the mid-nineties, after graduating from New York's Fashion Institute of Technology with a degree in textile design. While working as a colorist and designer for a silk mill specializing in neckwear and scarves, he worked on neckwear collections for such designers as Bill Blass, Calvin Klein, and DKNY. This eventually led to the creation of his own neckwear collection, the short-lived digities in the late 90's. From this was born the start of the thomaspaul pillow collection, launched in 2001, which was originally conceived of as an idea of utilizing the silk printing mill's capabilities for home accessories instead of personal accessories. Since then the line has steadily expanded into other categories apart from silk pillows to include tabletop, stationery, and lamp shades. The ultimate goal being to have products covering every aspect of the home, all with thomaspaul patterns gracing them.

Hey all, I don't know how to ask this, but I was just wondering if the other services, or even active army members, look down upon NG soldiers, as if they weren't "good enough." Is there any truth to this?

The new Bing application for windows phone such as unlocked LG Mobile Optimus Quantum, HTC HD7, etc.. titled "We're In" makes her way much more easy for you to coordinate hanging out. Have you ever gone to hang out with your friends and then had a message to people to see who is available, find out where and what everyone would like to do, and also get estimated times of arrival from these people? Well, now utilizing the brand-new Bing application you may not have to do that anymore. The new application allows you to create an event, and share with your friends while inviting people to it, much in the same way a Facebook event invites would work. The invitation will then go out through text message.
Once your friends respond with a text message, their locations will be plotted on a map and will allow you to keep tabs on the people that are always late in the last to know where everyone is at any given time. All of the participants in the new application will be able to leave status update for particular event on the fly. This allows one person who was the first to the restaurant to let others know where they are seated and also how things are looking up location. Imagine going out to a bar, its being able to message back all of your friends and let them know that the scene is dead and you should probably start looking for another bar in the area.
This is an interesting application is good to see that Microsoft is getting further into the mobile application arena. This would be an interesting addition to applications such as Foursquare, a location tagging application that has become very popular across all of these social networks. You can imagine how application like this would tie very well into the applications that allow you to do location tagging such as Foursquare.
Puremobile carries wide range of unlocked cell phone and cell phone accessories such as Bluetooth Headsets.

The Carbon County Healthy Family Coalition will be holding its fourth annual Family Night on Sept. 25 at Carbon High School.
The event is an outgrowth of a community based needs assessment done a few years ago. The original group was formed to address the drug problem in the area, and as they met they found that the problem was bigger than just drugs. The emphasis soon became education about the needs and services available in the community.
This year's theme will be Only You Can Stop You From Succeeding. All community members are invited, to learn about skills to use with kids, family dynamics and just to get to know each other.
The keynote speaker will be Ben Glen and the activities will start at 5 p.m. Dinner will be served to those in attendance.

Album Spotlight: Jennifer Nettles, 'That Girl'
Jennifer Nettles' new solo album is a round peg too big for country music's square hole. Actually, 'That Girl' is sort of a zig-zaggy shaped object that doesn't fit neatly within any genre's stingy requirements. Jazz, blues, country, big band, Broadway, classic rock … Nettles dabbles.
Tim McGraw, 'Lookin' for That Girl' [Listen]
Tim McGraw marries traditional country stylings to contemporary innovations in his new single 'Lookin' for That Girl.' The scream of a pedal steel keeps the track safely on the country side of the radio, while his use of auto-tune points forward toward what could be the genre's future.
Granger Smith Samples Tour Life in Documentary Trailer – Exclusive Premiere
Long bus rides, sold out concerts, terrible homesickness and the brotherhood that comes with being part of a traveling band ... Granger Smith's new documentary will give an honest look at everything a touring country singer goes through in an effort to bring the music to the people. This three-minute-long trailer gives fans a taste of what's to come later in 2014.
Scotty McCreery Aims for Ninth Straight ToC Top 10 Video Countdown Number 1
Fans of Gary Allan's and Ronnie Dunn's new videos will need to double down to top Scotty McCreery's 'See You Tonight.' The singer and former 'American Idol' winner topped 'It Ain' the Whiskey' by five percentage points for an eighth straight win. This week he'll aim for No. 9.
Joe Nichols, 'Yeah' [Listen]
Joe Nichols' new single 'Yeah' keeps the feel-good vibe of 'Sunny and 75' alive. On paper, the story comes across as a track that was all too popular in 2013, but the singer's warm voice wraps the listener up like a good hug on chilly country night. His song is different because he's not trying so hard.
Best Album of the Year – 2014 Taste of Country Awards
2013 was a great year for country albums! Women may not have dominated the charts, but they produced some of the best LPs of the year. Ashley Monroe, Kacey Musgraves and Kellie Pickler all recorded projects that made our list of the Top 10 of 2013. Now, it's time for fans to decide who their choice for No. 1 is.
New Artist of the Year – 2014 Taste of Country Awards
Eight new artists are competing for New Artist of the Year honors at the 2014 Taste of Country Awards. Three came from reality television, one came from scripted television, three made it the old-fashioned way and one came from out of nowhere to become one of the hottest concert tickets in country music. Who do you think should win the New Artist of the Year award?
Rascal Flatts, 'Rewind' [Listen]
There's a timeless quality to Rascal Flatts' love songs, like their latest 'Rewind.' It's a song that could appear on any of the group's eight previous studio albums. Gary, Jay and Joe Don have a signature sound, and they've remained loyal to it for almost 15 years.
Chuck Wicks, 'Us Again' [Listen]
'Us Again,' Chuck Wicks' debut single on Blaster Records, is a patient, orchestral ballad about yearning to get back together with the one you loved and lost. Wicks has always been a talented interpreter of songs. His pain comes through early on this track from an upcoming studio album.
Headline of the Year – 2014 Taste of Country Awards
2013 was full of tragedy, surprises and celebration -- it seemed a new jaw-dropping news event took place just about every month in country music. Five events make the final cut as nominees for the Headline of the Year Award at the 2014 Taste of Country Awards. Which do you think should win?

For Fall 2011, Reese expanded on the seventies theme that has inspired her previous collections. Highlights include a long, faux shearling coat and dreamy floral bell-sleeve dress that channel Penny Lane in Almost Famous, and high-waisted trousers with a subtle flare that would do most girls' gams some serious justice. Along with this, the collection features a few flirty finds that are quintessential Reese -- a party look in black combined beading, mirrored paillettes, a sheer bust, and a fur skirt, and a series of full-on sequined looks.
Perfect for the modern woman, Reeses designs rely on ultra-feminine pieces layered with intelligent nostalgia, charm and luxury; a distinctive look that the designer has become known for. Bright colors, unique prints and intricate patterns define Tracy Reese, plenty and frock!

Video: Strong Storms Move Through WNY
AMHERST, NY - Large storms on Friday, left behind plenty of road damage and power outages.
WEB EXTRA: See storm photos in our photo gallery
Flooding could be found on Campbell Boulevard, Rochester Road and Saunders Settlement in Lockport.
Fire crews responded around 10 p.m. to North Gate Manor Nursing Home in North Tonawanda, where rainwater seeped into several rooms in the facility. No one was injured.
2 On Your Side also found flooding on the Wheatfield-Pendleton border.
Fire reports came in from the Air Traffic Control Tower on Porter Road at the Niagara Falls International Airport and Expressway Village Trailer Park Homes in the falls.
National Grid crews were busy restoring power Friday in places like Amherst - after wind ripped down a power line in the town on Inn Keepers Lane. More than 3,200 residents lost power, including some businesses.
Walmart on Sheridan Drive had to turn away customers. Some street lights were also knocked out - forcing Amherst police to direct traffic at intersections. Around 5 p.m. power was restored and slowly came back on.
But late night storms caused outages from Buffalo to Niagara Falls and many other surrounding communities in Niagara County.

BUFFALO, NY - About a month ago, President Obama announced plans to take a 5% salary cut in support of federal workers who face furloughs because of sequestration.
The mandated budget cuts are "across the board", meaning the pain is being felt on wide scope.
Two On Your Side asked some of those who represent you in Washington, if they shouldn't feel a pinch in their pocketbooks as well.
"No," said U.S. Senator Charles Schumer (D-New York) when asked if he'd follow Mr. Obama's lead and sacrifice a portion of his pay. "I think the best way to deal with sequester is to fight against it and that's what I've done. We have a plan to undo all of sequester, and quite frankly it's mainly by closing tax loopholes," Schumer told WGRZ-TV. "Getting rid of sequester is not going to be accomplished by symbolism."
"I would certainly consider it, but it doesn't deal with the primary issue," said Rep. Brian Higgins (D-NY 26th) when asked if he would take a symbolic pay cut. "That's something I could certainly consider and do, but I think these kind of things are distractions to the larger issue," said Higgins, who believes the key to solving the nation's fiscal woes is enhancing economic opportunities.
"We've already taken a 5% cut to our congressional office budgets," noted Rep Chris Collins (R-NY27th), who said the President was doing nothing more than grandstanding. Collins, who as Erie County Executive accepted only $1 per year in salary (donating the rest to charity), believes "smart" spending cuts need to be enacted to help cure what ails the nation fiscally.

Positive Choice: Prevention for Positive Health

- How to Read a Study Record
This is a randomized, controlled trial of Positive Choice, an interactive multimedia computer program, to determine whether it can detect and reduce risky behaviors among HIV-positive adults. The behaviors of interest are: unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse, illicit drug use, risky alcohol drinking, and failure to disclose HIV status to sex partners. The Positive Choice program is integrated into the routine operations of outpatient HIV clinics, where participating patients complete an in-depth risk assessment (computerized health questionnaire) before a regularly scheduled medical appointment. Participants assigned to the intervention arm receive brief, interactive risk-reduction counseling by an actor-portrayed Video Doctor and an educational worksheet. Their health care provider receives as summary cueing sheet, alerting them to the patient's risky behavior and readiness to change. Control participants complete the computerized risk assessment and receive the clinic's usual care. Three months after a baseline visit, intervention and control group patients are invited back to complete an additional risk assessment. The intervention group also receives a "booster" intervention. Six months after baseline, both groups complete a final risk assessment.

A preliminary analysis of baseline data was conducted in January 2006, which indicated that the Positive Choice intervention achieved significant reductions in drug use. These findings were reported in a poster presentation at the XVI International AIDS Conference in Toronto, Canada, in August 2006. A final analysis of outcomes data was conducted in fall 2006 (September – December). Aggregate results from all five study sites are summarized below.
We found a high prevalence of risky behaviors in our sample (497/918, or 54%) and achieved high retention for follow-up in both groups (>80%). We found significant elimination of any drug use in the intervention group at both follow-ups. Among all participants who reported drug use at baseline, 66% of intervention participants continued their drug use at 3-month follow-up compared to 85% of control participants (OR 0.356, p<0.01). At 6-month follow-up, 59% of intervention participants continued their drug use compared to 88% of the control group (<0.001). Among participants who reported methamphetamine use at baseline, 58% continued their methamphetamine use at 3-month follow-up compared to 83% of control participants (OR 0.285, p=0.02). At 6-month follow-up, 53% of intervention participants continued their methamphetamine use compared to 73% of the control group (OR 0.344, p=0.03). We also found significantly less unprotected sex with casual partners by intervention participants at 3-month follow up (69% vs. 87%, OR 0.313, p=0.04), and fewer intervention participants who exceeded the recommended number of drinks per week at 3-months (53% vs. 78%, OR 0.310, p=0.02) Our findings indicate that the Positive Choice program was effective at reducing important behavioral risks among HIV-positive adults in care. Positive Choice is an appropriate and effective adjunct to routine medical care for HIV-positive adults.

Lycra race suits probably ought to come with a warning label: Use with caution if over age 30. For many competitors among the 180 gathered at Mt. Cranmore, N.H., last March for the 12th annual Hannes Schneider Meister Cup, Lycra was not the most flattering attire. It might be fast, but it is also uncompromising in revealing extra, poorly placed pounds accumulated or redistributed in the years after a high school or college racing career.
The first thing people mention when they talk about St. Anton is the rowdy après-ski scene. "Rowdy in Austria's top ski resort means spending three to six hours with 1,000 of your fellow skiers at a standing-room-only outdoor bar that's not quite at the bottom of the mountain, tossing back Austrian beer followed by fruity schnapps while singing loudly to thumping Euro disco hits. While it's true that this is a signature St.
Perhaps Europe is on your life list. Or maybe you've never even considered it. You should. St. Anton, whose residents know how to host a vacationing skier, won't disappoint. A stay here promises a slice of the good life — ski large, relax deeply, eat like a gourmand, sleep like a baby, repeat — with a globetrotter's gold standard of comforts and its own unique sense of place. The challenge is deciding where to stay. With 9,500 guest beds, the choice is rivaled only by where to ski amidst the area's 273 square miles of terrain. Here are our picks.

Can you believe this? Yes, I suppose you all can. This is a blatant threat against the citizens of France. How will their government react? Look at his hypocrisy, calling the French government "tyrannical" when he is the one who has butchered thousands of innocent people.
I hope someone will hunt this, for lack of a better word, monster down and put him out of his misery. And hope they "strike" him on his neck. He must be stopped.

If you liked "Drive," you'll probably love Ryan Gosling in "Only God Forgives!"
From director Nicolas Winding Refn (who also did "Drive"), "Only God Forgives" looks like one intense, probably gory, action-packed flick.
The film centers on a Bangkok police lieutenant (Vithaya Pansringarm) and a gangster (Ryan Gosling) who settle their tensions, not on the streets, but in a Thai-boxing match.
Starring Gosling, Pansringarm, Kristin Scott Thomas and Tom Burke, the movie feels a lot like Refn's getaway driver flick -- we hope it measures up!
Wonder how much Ryan will talk in this one?
Are you excited to see the movie? Check out the trailer above and sound off below!
And just for fun, here's 100 photos of Ryan Gosling ... because, duh.

Viktor Fasth was as good as anyone in NHL history over his first eight starts, but does that make him worth $5.8 million?
The Anaheim Ducks think so.
The team announced Fasth's two-year extension, which will start next season year, on Wednesday. Fasth, 30, is 8-0-0 so far in his career and just the third goaltender in history to hit that mark. His .933 save percentage and 1.78 goals-against average are both top seven in the NHL, and his .938 even-strength percentage is 10th among goalies with at least six appearances.
"You always try to do your best and play your best, try to help the team as much as you can," Fasth told The Associated Press in a phone interview. "That's what I've been trying to focus on, and that's what I have to keep doing, to do my part."
Those are all impressive numbers, but again: eight starts. It makes a little more sense if the Ducks see him as a potential starter moving forward. Incumbent Jonas Hiller has one more year remaining at $4.5 million. He started a club-record 73 games last season, but struggled with vertigo the season before that and a lower-body injury in 2013.
Here's a cautionary tale for the Ducks: Nolan Schaefer. He went 5-1-0 in seven games (.920 save percentage, 1.88 GAA) with the San Jose Sharks over the 2005-06 season, then never played in the NHL again. Fasth has put up better numbers in consecutive games and starred in Sweden before making the jump, while Schaefer was a middling AHL goalie, but sample sizes this small—with goalies nonetheless—are dangerous.
As for Hiller, he made 25 saves against Columbus on Monday night for his first victory in 18 days.
When asked by the AP if he considered himself the Ducks' starter, Fasth replied: "No, I don't."
"Jonas played against Columbus and played incredibly good," he added. "I just try to work hard, and I'll play when the coach tells me to play. That's how things work."

Worst phone I've *ever* had
I am almost literally frustrated to the point of tears. I had cheapy flip-phones through Boost mobile since 2007-2008. In 2010 I finally got a decent Android phone from them (touch-screen, internet, etc. Smartphone). It gave me a few problems, but eventually ended up just dying completely. Until I can afford a new phone and new carrier, I have to use this piece of crap.
I have been trying to send and receive messages for the past 2 days. I got a text from my fiance about 4 minutes ago, but it was from the day before last. I attempt to send messages, and I get "(Failed): Error. Message not sent. Network not responding. Message saved. Please try again later." No error code, no reason for failing, no nothing.
I can't do anything but call, and usually it will "time out" about 30 seconds into the call. So, leaving a voicemail can pose a problem, due to the time I finally get to the prompt to leave a message, it "times out."
I realize it's 2013 and everyone has a Smartphone, but for some people/instances (such as not being able to sign a new contract or get a new phone until payday) require use of non-smartphones. And this is going to drive me nuts.

OK phone but way behind the times
PROs: QWERTY keyboard, great pictures
CONs: Poor sound quality, touch screen on front will give wrong numbers, internal screen cracks eaily, poor battery life (6-8 hours on standby), phone randomly reboots or crashes for no reason, can't use touch screen in any kind of light.
So, I have had this phone for 2 years and it worked OK for about 6 months and then it was downhill from there. The call quality is garbage, the screen cracked and has been getting worse every day, I am too cheap to buy a new phone so I am waiting for my upgrade in a few days. Don't bother with this phone especially with all the options out there today.

Very annoying phone!
Ok, I have had this phone for a while now, and i get more annoyed by it everyday. I have had it sent back twice and reset three times. The phone freezes up constantly, but i figured out it does it the most when I try to check my email. Which is a joke. I feel like they tried to make this phone do tooo many functions that it really cannot support. The calendar is also connected through your email app, therefore i cannot access my calendar, which is a huge inconvenience b/c i schedule alot. This phone has so many cons I don't even have time to type. But one Pro is the GPS. it is awesome and accurate every time! I have given up my regular GPS for the one on my phone.
Cons (just a few):
-freezes constantly, have to remove battery and power back up.
-touch screen is too sensitive when on a call. hangs up or three way calls.
-calendar is connected to email.
-hard to turn speaker phone on through the touch screen.
-good sound quality
-solid phone
-fave feature is the GPS navigation. IT IS AWESOME!!!! turn by turn direction and shows you where your destination is exactly. love it!
-internet is pretty good.

bad choice
I bought this phone in February of 2011. I've had it in for fixing 3 times in 7 months. The touch screen is horrible and I frequently am not able to take the phone off speaker or even dial from the touch screen if my hands are warm and it's a warm day. My cheek has hung up the phone and dialed someone completely different when the phone was an inch away from my cheek and NOTHING was touching the screen, not even my ear. I got up one morning and the inside screen was cracked, fairly early on in my relationship with this phone. I always treat my phones with respect and have no idea at all why the screen cracked. It carries the Sanyo brand name and I've owned many Sanyo phones and have loved all of them. I've since learned that Sanyo did NOT make this phone and that may be one of the reasons it has been so unreliable for me.
PROS: The camera is nice, it takes video which is also nice. It can hold quite a few contacts. Ringers are nice and loud and you can set it to vibrate no matter what level the ringer sound is set.
I would recommend you keep looking for similar phones that are much more reliable.

What the incognito should have been
I was with Boost Mobile and the last phone I has was the Incognito, long story short it dies and I went to Sprint on Wednesday. I decided to get this phone. I cant complain one bit. The phone is what the incognito should have been. More responsive touch screen, bigger internal screen,better battery life, keypad feels more solid, camera is WAY better, solid feeling and is even my favorite colour. My 4 complaints are. Still no flash, I know this phone is for people who text a lot. But still a flash would add to the value, memory card isnt accessable without removing the battery. Not major but a pain. Keyplacement on main keyboard. I got so use to where all the keys were on the incognito that I find myself hitting the camera button when wanting to back up. And finally this phone uses a 2,5mm headphone jack. WTF! Other then that this phone is damn solid. Great buy for a great feature phone.

incognito upgrade
at the moment the incognito has a rating of 3.37, so this must be worth a 3.5. More or less its the same phone with just a few changes.
A friend got this phone, and after about an hour in my hands I wanted to get some info out there for people who may be stuck between incognito and innuendo.
the button on the top that unlocks key guard works every time, unlike the slider on the incognito that works every other time.
the touch dialing (that you have to touch) in at least 3 times faster on the innuendo then the incognito's touch dialing (that reads your finger before you touch and is wrong from time to time)
The innuendo has a 3mp camera vs the incognitos 2mp.
This phone feels pretty solid in the hands, and the hinges seem pretty strong. Should know for sure in a few days, but I don't think this will be a phone that just falls apart in your hands.
The only thing that really bothered me about the phone is that when you close it, it doesn't turn off any program that was running. So if you were texting and you close the phone with out exiting all the way out you can't place a call. You have to open the phone back up and finish exiting out and then re-close the phone just to dial the phone. But this was an issue with both the incognito and the innuendo.

Not worth the money
Freezes constantly, screen is very sensitive and overtime will produce a black marks and bubbles, you can not post pictures to facebook, battery lasts maybe 5 hours until it reaches the last battery bar
The only pro for this phone is service is good, you can get a signal in the mountains

They are not going to get urbanites riding even two miles on those crappy bikes.
No fenders, chaincase or coatguard means getting filthy dirty. No storage space means I can't use it for going to work.
And no lights or bell means it is illegal to ride it on the road here in Ontario. And quite stupid anywhere else.
- 13:21
@Kevin. It's just 2 miles, really you could do that on any bike.
- 16:33
- Kevin Love said...
@ Peter. But why would I do it for any distance at all if I'm going to get sprayed with muddy water and wind up filthy dirty?
And why would I even ride ten minutes to work if I couldn't take my briefcase, laptop and other work stuff?
And why would I ride ten seconds after dark without a light? Scary!
And in addition to official law enforcement, why would I ride illegally without the proper safety equipment?
If we are going to encourage people to take up cycle use, let's do it properly. Do we want to have a person ride a bike and then dismount, filthy dirty, swearing an oath "I'll never do that again"?
Or do we want someone to ride a bike to work in their nice work clothes with all the things they need. And get off the bike saying "That was nice. I'll do it again tomorrow."

Green Idea Factory asked:
"What bike are you talking about?"
Kevin's answer:
All the bikes shown in the film. In the initial cover frame as well as starting at 1:06 in the film.
They are all unsuitable for the use suggested by the film.

David Hembrow did an excellent job of describing what an everyday bicycle should be like for ordinary people to cycle to work, shops, church, visit friends, etc.
- 17:37
- Green Idea Factory said...
@Kevin: What you and David say about an "everyday bicycle" are absolutely true, BUT I think the video image should not be taken too literally.
If you look below the video you will see that "Build your Bike" link which goes to all sorts of various bike designs... and unfortunately also to some things which are not necessary.
It would be great if the video showed more realistic city bikes, or least a bike of different kinds. A lot of confused cycling promotion starts with inappropriate imagery.
Not to say this campaign or video is confused... but more about that later.

I'd like it if they added to the film a statistic of the collective weight loss, in megatons, if Americans accepted the two-mile challenge.
- 23:40
If someone is travelling 2 miles without a bike, its likely they have some other transport options.
If they are already own a bicycle, as the video presumes, it doesn't help if you then say "You own the wrong type, buy this sort" (not trying to put my words into your mouth).
Perhaps on the days that the weather is inclement, they can travel the 2 miles the old way? Then when they miss cycling, buy accessories for the one they already own.
@the other Peter, that's quite funny.
- 12:43
- Peter said...
Many people I know started transportational bicycling by accepting a 2-mile challenge from me. I've talked a number of people into getting their bike out of their shed and going to the grocery store, the farmer's market, the bank, etc. with me.
A lot of people view their town from the point of view of their car. They have no idea what the true distances are. Everything that's not a brief walk away seems "far". When they realize that there is a pleasant route to the store and it is only 12 minutes away by bicycle, even going at a very slow speed, they have a change of perspective and start realizing that their bicycle can be a fun and useful way of getting around.
This change of perspective - from the point of view of a car driver to that of a bicycle driver - is why the challenge is so important. Suddenly their town seems accessible even without a car.
Sure, their bike is a fenderless, lightless, rackless "10-speed", but they can look at my bike and see how to use a bike for basic transportation. Meanwhile, they can try out their bike in clement weather using a backpack.
If they get into it, they can always add a rack and some fenders to their bike and purchase an inexpensive blinky tail light and a 1/2 watt LED light for the front and be ready to go. Is it an ideal tranportational bike? No, but it works and will hold them for some years.

The Alliance and Trips for Kids are great, though I am not sure about the third beneficiary, which relates to the whole carbon emissions thing in the video that is incredibly abstract and confusing.
On the other hand, the information about saving money and especially about how so many people go only two miles is strong and appeals to common sense.
They have a bunch of educational stuff about different types of bikes, but then go too far into helmetshouldism and finally to reflectivecultism. Plus I think a water bottle? For two miles?
I think that the two mile thing is mostly trips for entertainment, shopping and school? This will mean the USA will need like 10 million good bike parking spots ASAP. Longer trips over 5 or 10 miles can be done by combining cycling and PT, so lets hope a challenge in that area comes next.
I don't agree that A-to-Bism needs to be the primary motivator for cycling as health and conviviality/social benefits are great, too. Or just money, which ties into all those things. But the carbon stuff is confusing and, while I love ClifBar, it simply makes this too much of a sport thing. Two miles is not really a sport thing...

By CAPTAIN RONALD J. SHAW, USAF, (Ret)Orem
A contract shows a meeting of the minds of two parties acting in good faith. Once formed, it may not be rejected merely at the whim of one party or the other. Such a contract can be either oral or written. This shows that our government did in fact renege on the "oral contract" made with members of the military prior to December 7, 1956 who agreed to serve 20 years or more, and subsequently lost part of those benefits when Champus, then Tricare, and later, Medicare was imposed on them.
A Disabled American Veteran (DAV) who is now an attorney says, "....If you have an oral contract and both parties rely on it for years and years then it is a legal binding contract. The military gave its word, we got treated, our dependents got treated for years and years so there is a legal binding oral contract by action and methods...." This also validates the oral contract made during those years.
Requiring us to pay a portion of Champus, Tricare, and now Medicare Part B, does in fact violate that "oral contract" which entitled us, and our dependents, to free lifetime medical benefits.
We lost a judgment through the courts. However, the Federal Appeals Court said it was obvious the promises were made, but that Congress would have to fix it. Because of this, the Supreme Court would not hear the case.
If the current Congress cannot fix the problem and honor those promises, we need to place in office people who can. This Fall we need to elect those who, in fact, fully understand past commitments embodied in duty, honor,

The PM-824 is identical to the PM-224 model EXCEPT, The PM-824 has a remote (wired) moisture sensor, not a sensor fixed to the top like the 224.
The Sensor's 10' Ft cable allows mounting the control even in a hard to reach location. It can be mounted on a wall or to a rigid conduit or pole. And, the 10 Ft cable can be extended – see instructions for extending.
A weatherproof LED indicator on the base of the 824 provides a method of checking power and trigger status when the unit is mounted in a 'hard to reach' location. Steady OFF indicates no power to the unit. Steady ON indicates power is being supplied but no snow or rain trigger is active. A blinking LED indicates the PM-824 is triggered and connected equipment has been activated.
The PM-824 sensor detects the combination of precipitation PLUS low temperature to activate a Contractor Pro control panel which in turns provides power to ProMelt Mats or Cables. It is meant to be pole-mounted open to the sky and elements and has a heated moisture sensor mounted on its top.
This Low voltage control cannot operate alone – it must be connected to and powered by a contactor control panel. For standalone operation, choose the PM-2B or PM-5 sensor-controllers.
PM-824 provides integrated air and moisture detection within a rainproof and ice-resistant enclosure. The remote wired snow sensor is heated to allow for snow, ice, or freezing rain to melt, allowing proper detection of environmental conditions.
- 3 operating modes : On-Automatic, On-Manual, Off-standby-reset
- Low voltage operation (22-28 VAC) and is powered by the CP series panels
- Connection to a ProMelt CP panel allows control of 250 – 1250 Sq Ft of snow melting, or more.
- Automatic Activation means lower costs for deicing and snow melting
- Reliable Rain and Snow Detection
- Easy Installation with many user configurable options
- Adjustable temperature and delay settings PLUS exclusive sensitivity control adjustment
- Removable cover (4 screws) provides full access to all electronics and settings
- 1 year warranty with many replaceable components and fuse
- Housed in a sturdy NEMA 3R enclosure rated for outdoor use that is 5"x7"x3"
- All internal electronic components are specified for -40°C to +85°C operation.
The ProMelt PM-824 offers automatic activation, rain/snow detection, adjustable trigger temperature, and a drying cycle, as well as manual operation. It must be connected to our Contractor Pro series of contactor panels.
We recommend adding the optional PM-DP remote ProMelt Display Panel for the easiest monitoring and control of your PM-824 sensor. The PM-DP wired remote is a great upgrade and is sold separately.

The warm weather and soft earth of spring seem to have firmly planted shovels in the minds of Jefferson County officials.
With a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreement for a new warehouse in the Corporate Park on outer Coffeen Street, a $25 million borrowing issue for a new residence hall at Jefferson Community College and nearly $345,000 for the expansion of the Watertown International Airport, development was the theme at county meetings Tuesday.
During the Finance and Rules Committee meeting, county legislators recommended moving $344,928 from the countys general fund into the capital fund to support growth at the Watertown International Airport and its surrounding area.
The money came from a PILOT payment associated with a Fort Drum housing development project.
That PILOT was initially set up in 2005 as a way to encourage construction to meet the demand for available housing created by the expanding military post.
The final payment of these funds was made in 2012 but never transferred into the proper account.
With old PILOT payments newly disbursed, the committee turned its attention to recommending for approval a fresh PILOT agreement between the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency and Suncap Watertown, LLC, a limited liability corporation formed in connection with SunCap Property Group, a Charlotte, N.C.-based real estate development firm.
Suncap Watertown, LLC, will develop and own a new 64,000-square-foot FedEx facility in the county corporate park, giving the carrier an opportunity to move out of its cramped quarters at 22530 Fisher Road.
Jonathan L. Greene, the SunCap representative, was on hand at a recent town of Watertown Planning Board meeting to witness the final approval of the project, which was designed by Michael E. Lundy, CEO of Lundy Development Corp.
At the time, Mr. Greene said the company hoped to break ground sometime in April and the facility would employ up to 100 full- and part-time employees during peak times of the year.
The 10-year PILOT agreement, which allows the company to start out paying 50 percent of all property taxes in the first year before increasing incrementally to the full amount, was originally created for Eagle Beverage.
Eagle was slated for the warehouse project before pulling out of its agreement with Mr. Lundy and the JCIDA in January, citing a changing company strategy.
The committee also had a large-scale development project to consider.
That was the 290-bed, 96,000-square-foot residence hall proposed at Jefferson Community College.
The Jefferson Faculty Student Association Auxiliary LLC is looking to finance the project with up to $25 million in tax-exempt revenue bonds issued through the Jefferson County Civic Facility Development Corp., a nonprofit local development corporation.
To do that, the county must first schedule two public hearings about the bond issue.
The bond will not involve any taxpayer money, said Daniel J. Dupee II, the colleges vice president for administration and finance, and it wont be available for purchase on the open market. As a private placement bond, it will be serviced through a bank.
Mr. Dupee said he hopes to secure a banks commitment in the next week.
According to the resolution, which the committee recommended for approval, the first hearing will be held at 7:05 p.m. June 4 with the second hearing following immediately.
The Jefferson County Planning Board also gave the project its blessing earlier in the day when it sent the site plan back to the city of Watertown for final approval with its full endorsement.
In other business, the committee entered an executive session to discuss two personnel-related issues.
The first was to authorize the countys public health director to offer more money to a candidate for director of patient services; the second was to discuss replacing the jail physician, Dr. David F. Rosner.
The meetings agenda included an email message from Sheriff John P. Burns to county administrators and legislators expressing dissatisfaction with Dr. Rosners job performance.
Mr. Burns recommended replacing Dr. Rosner with Dr. Collins F. Kellogg, whom he said was willing to accept the duties.
Rather than take any action on the resolution, the committee deferred the decision until next week, when the full board will meet. Legislators are also awaiting more documentation from the sheriff in support of his recommendation.

Cognac has long since been heralded as the most revered spirit in the world and its reputation is second to none. It is interesting to learn that Cognac was one of the last regions in France to begin distilling; it was during the 17th century that Cognac production got underway in earnest.
The drink is produced in the town of Cognac to the very west of France, and it has had a recent surge in popularity and the famed Cognac houses - including Hennessy, Hine, Martell and Rémy Martin – have become household names.
Cognac is distilled from a selection of grape varietals, with Ugni Blanc being the most popular. The first step is to press and ferment the grapes to make wine. It is worth mentioning that good Cognac grapes and good wine grapes are two separate entities, for different qualities are required. Cognac grapes do not tend to make for good wine, because they are rather bitter and acidic, thus a good year for wine may not be such for Cognac.
The wine is twice distilled - as opposed to Armagnac which undergoes a single distillation – before the spirit is matured for at least two years in oak barrels. There are regional distinctions within Cognac and most houses usually blend grapes from multiple sub-regions within the Cognac area. The regions are ringed around the town, and the most central regions are the most venerated. The premier cru is Grand Champagne, so named for the nature of its soils.

If you need to get pumped up and rock out, you might want to check out Blyndfold, a progressive metal band from Germany. The band just released a new album called "Collide-o-scope," and if you open the CD case, you might find something that catches your eye.
Previously I posted on Tag Guerrilla Marketing for Bands, but today I'd like to introduce you to another way bands can use Microsoft Tag to connect with their fans. Blyndfold uses Tag to link their new album to current content; new videos, links to their next concert, and updates on their website. The band uses the Microsoft Tag Manager to easily change the content behind their existing Tags to deliver this experience. Currently, the Microsoft Tag inside the CD case links to a video of the band shredding their hearts out during a live concert.
It's easy to create a Microsoft Tag, and I encourage you to check out the Tag Manager to rotate content on existing Tags. By doing this, you can create a unique experience for your fans or customers on an ongoing basis. If you need help testing out Tag, reach out to us on Facebook and Twitter any time.

Hi Everyone,
For the time being, due to technical problems you will not be able to upload any photographs to WHL.
If you try to upload a photo for your Avatar, your Profile Picture, one of your Photo Albums, or in a Thread/Post,
you'll get a message that says- "This is not a valid image file".
This is a problem with the website, and not your PC or the type of photo files you have on your PC.
The site owner/manager has been made aware of this problem, and as soon as it is repaired, I will
post a message letting you all know that it's been fixed.
We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause,
aurora_butterfly68 (07-26-2013), Brenda Renfroe (05-31-2014)
Is the photo loader still out of commission....
unfortunately ...... yes. we still are unable to upload photos. it is a problem that cannot be easily fixed.
When you're stressed, You eat Ice cream, Cake, Chocolate & Sweets. Why? Because stressed spelled backwards is DESSERTS.
AWWW man, I SO want to get my PAPA all over my page.....FINGERS CROSSED
We Live in a MORTAL, FRAIL, IMPERFECT world in which the word "FAIR" doesn't always apply.Make EVERY MOMENT COUNT with the ones you LOVE because it can end in the blink of an eye. Love, Jeannette
HI Rob,
Is there an update on this? I see your notice is from a year ago. Has this issue been tabled as unattainable? Is there some sort of ETA? As a newer member I'd like to feel a part of the group... If this is a permanent concern, can the photo option be removed completely instead of just penalizing those of us diagnosed later? Perhaps this issue has already been resolved and I'm having a similar but not site wide problem uploading a profile picture?

Normally when it comes to hockey I respect the teams that
the New York Rangers face but the Pittsburgh Penguins are not one of them. Over
the years they in my mind have led the league in dirty cheap shots that have
hurt other players and while most of them have been punished by the NHL there
remains one who is protected from punishment because he gets pushed as one of
the biggest faces in the NHL.
I am talking of course about Sidney Crosby who when he isn't
diving or sucker punching his opposition is whining to the refs about how
mistreated he is on the ice by that same opposition. Nothing is more
disappointing than to see a talented player having to resort to cheating which
when you strip everything away is what diving really is. If you can't trust
your talent to win for you then something is wrong.
I am not going to sit here and blow smoke about how the
Rangers should walk all over the Penguins because it is not true. The Rangers
must play at a higher level than they did against the Philadelphia Flyers or
this will be as Mike Milbury predicts a very short series.
I believe the Rangers can defeat the Penguins after watching
what the Columbus Bluejackets did against them. If Pittsburgh coach Dan Blysma
thinks that his team played their best 120 minutes in games 5 and 6 against the
Bluejackets then he is kidding himself. The Bluejackets ran out of time in game
6 otherwise they would have forced a game 7.
To Win
It starts with defense as the Rangers will need to pull out
their John Tortorella playbooks and continue to block shots and protect Henrik
Lundqvist. The Rangers don't want to get into a game of pond hockey with the
Penguins because their offense just isn't firing on all cylinders.
It will be interesting to see who draws Crosby as I think
the Rangers will use Dom Moore against him but I would like to see Dan Carcillo
with Moore and Derek Dorsett. I just don't think Brian Boyle's skating would
allow him to stay with any Crosby line especially if Evgeni Malkin is kept on
the Crosby line.
If Crosby is going to whine then put the Ranger pest on the
ice against him to make it worthwhile. Carcillo can get under Crosby's skin and
off his game would be a win for the Rangers especially if Carcillo goads him
into responding. If Malkin is not on Crosby's line then keep Boyle there.
The Rangers have to play with serious composure and
discipline as giving the Penguins power plays is inviting disaster. The Ranger
penalty kill in the Flyer series was 71.4% which is 15th out of the
teams that played in the first round.
While the Penguins wasn't much better at 74% they are facing
a Ranger power play that was horrible scoring only 3 times on 29 attempts. But
there is a solution for the Ranger power play woes and it is the oldest mantra
in hockey "attack the net" whether you are camping bodies in Marc-Andre Fleury's
crease or taking the puck to the net with bodies and out fighting the Penguins
for the pucks.
It is in this area where Rick Nash do the most damage as
almost every time he attacked the net the Rangers either scored or generated a "dangerous"
scoring chance. Fleury has been rattled in recent playoff series and the
Rangers if they attack can and will score on him.
But if the Rangers continue to play a perimeter game like
they have then they will turn Fleury into a stud goalie as if he can see the
puck then he can stop the puck. The Bluejackets were scoring from 10 feet in on
Fleury and they don't have the firepower the Rangers do.
The Rangers have to play 60 minute games not 40 minute or 50
minute as start to finish they have to bring the effort against the Penguins.
They can't expect Henrik Lundqvist to win 4 games by shutting the Penguins out
every night as that just won't happen.
If anything the best way to help Henrik Lundqvist would be
to put 4-5 goals on Fleury because that will put all the pressure on Fleury
since everyone will be questioning whether or not Blysma should go with him or
play untested rookie Jeff Zatkoff. Or even better start the Thomas Vokoun rumors
up as it was Vokoun who replaced Fleury in the playoffs last year.
There is also an area that is much different for the Rangers
this time around and that is they are the younger team in this year's matchup.
The Penguins will have 13 players on their roster who are 30 and older while
the Rangers will have just 5 so keep hitting the Penguins every chance you get.
This series is going to come down to which team dictates and
imposes its will on the other team the most. If the Rangers can play smart and
keep the Penguins in chess match games then the Rangers can and will win this
As for the series I have said since the beginning of the
playoffs that I only fear a Ranger/Boston Bruin matchup so I am going to say
the Rangers will give the home fans a chance to serenade Crosby into the
off-season in 6 games.

Matching Church Scholarship Program
Each year Anderson University faces the challenge of making Christian higher education affordable to a broad range of students. The Anderson University Matching Church Scholarship Program is one of the ways we attempt to meet that challenge. Through this program, churches provide financial assistance to their local young people who attend AU, and the university doubles the scholarship value by matching the amount dollar for dollar (up to $1,500 per year or $750 per semester). Since 1978, the program has grown to include over 1300 churches with annual awards of approximately $750,000. The program benefits approximately 400 students each year.
It is very important that you understand the Guidelines for the Matching Scholarship Program before completing the Student Award Form [PDF].

WOONSOCKET — Minutes following Mount St. Charles' 1-0 loss to fellow Division II stalwart Lincoln High on Friday afternoon, head coach Paul Jacques worried not so much about the verdict but the health of junior keeper Ben Weiss.
With 17:30 remaining in the opening half, Lions' senior tri-captain Alex D'Aloisio fired a pass from the deep left corner toward Weiss as he guarded the net. The liner got through the defense, and Weiss deflected the ball away, but went down in a heap.
Apparently, a Lincoln forward had tried to knock the carom off the goalie inside the right post, and the two collided.
"Ben was going for a loose ball, and a Lincoln player hit him simultaneously to the save; there was nothing dirty about it, (and) it was a clean play," Jacques stated later. "We're still waiting to hear how he is. I know his parents were taking him to the hospital. There is a possibility of a concussion, but naturally we hope it isn't.
"Right now, I'm just thinking about him and that he's OK," he added. "We're all hoping that reports from the doctors will come back negative, and that he'll return soon."
Jacques replaced Weiss, a standout netminder, with senior Chris Miele, who hadn't seen an iota of action in the cage in over 24 months. On his first save attempt, it appeared he came out of the net when – during a scrum in front – D'Aloisio gained possession and delivered a try inside the left post.
Fact was he didn't. Officials deemed it an "own goal," meaning one of Miele's defenders had mistakenly poked it into the netting. D'Aloisio nevertheless received credit for being so close to the play, and that's how the Mounties fell to 8-2-3 in league action (11-2-3 overall).
In the end, the Lions made the tally hold up, and improved to 9-2-2 in D-II and 9-4-3 overall. They hadn't scored at all in a 2-0 defeat to Mount Pleasant on Tuesday, and gaining that early advantage proved critical.
"I thought we did play with more confidence after we scored," noted Lincoln chief John D'Aloisio afterward. "Then again, you always seem to get a lift when you need one so badly. This is a huge win against a very solid team. I know they had two tough games against Middletown and Classical (before this one), and I think that helped us.
"As much as I hate to single anyone out, (junior) Jack Bacon came through for us," he added of the keeper who finished with 10 saves. "All of the guys played well, but he definitely deserves special credit."
With the triumph, Lincoln closed in on league-leading Toll Gate; they now are virtually tied for first place with 29 points. MSC, on the other hand, now has 27.
"I think the kids are extremely disappointed, as am I, but they're a great group, and I know we'll bounce back," Jacques offered. "They'll focus on the good things they did, and do some work on some of the negatives they may have had and try to improve on them."
Not so surprisingly, the Mounties carried play through the second 10 minutes of the opening stanza. In fact, it looked as if they would penetrate the net when junior midfielder Dan Weiss raced down the right side and rifled a high, hard one at Bacon. Classmate John Cutler went up for the header, but the keeper snagged the save.
MSC senior tri-captain/forward Colin Berg had another chance almost 14 minutes into the half after delivering a rope from the right corner at a teammate, though he missed the header and allowed junior Josh Gillen to drive it away.
Then came Ben Weiss' injury, and Miele trotted into the net, but the Mounties' assault continued. With 15:04 remaining before the break, senior Jake Leahey sprinted down the right sideline and crushed a try at the right post. Still, Bacon made a sprawling stop.
It looked like the Lions would push their advantage to 2-0 with 11 minutes elapsed in the second session when senior Colby Alves sent a pass from the deep right corner toward the goalie box. Junior Nick Palumbo picked it out of the air with his right foot and fired at Miele, though it floated just over the crossbar.
The MSC assault nevertheless continued. With 21:52 left in regulation, senior Ryan Diogo stationed himself just outside the box and fired a low liner at Bacon. The latter made the initial save, but it drifted past him; that's when senior John Ariza cleared it from harm's way.
Exactly 17:01 remained when referees whistled the younger D'Aloisio for a "hand" ball inside his own penalty area, and awarded junior Mike Doody a penalty kick. He walloped a liner toward Bacon's midsection, but still found the wherewithal to drive it up and over his cage.
"That was a remarkable save," shrugged Coach D'Aloisio.
Stated Jacques: "Mike had a beautiful shot on net; I thought it was a bit too much at the keeper, but Jack made an incredible save. That ball was struck so hard. It was just a great shot and a great save."
At Jacques' behest, his defenders moved more into the offensive zone in an attempt to knot it, and it looked as if a couple would succeed. With 7:10 still left on the new scoreboard clock, sophomore Matthew White whacked a 15-yard grounder at Bacon, though he responded with aplomb.
And, with only 2:08 remaining, senior tri-captain Peter O'Brien dribbled down the middle, juked a pair of defenders and ripped a low try at Bacon. Again, he dove for the save.
"I thought Chris stepped up and had a huge game for us," Jacques said of Miele, who halted seven shots after Weiss had made three in his approximate 22-minute stretch in goal. "He hasn't played keeper in about two years, so I can't be more proud of the way he played. He took a big leadership role for us.
"On the goal, Chris wasn't at fault; our defense should have cleared it," he continued. "I still think our defense is getting better every game. They shut down a very good Lincoln team, and they did so because they played under control. We had two seniors playing (defense) on the outside, (seniors) Andrew Van Winter and Peter O'Brien, and they played smart.
"We had one of our other captains (senior Billy Burns) out due to injury, and that didn't help. Right now, we've got to stay focused. This will hurt for a bit (now), but they'll come back Monday re-energized. I have to let them know that the season isn't over, that we have two big games left to go in our regular season.
"We have to play a very tough team in Mount Hope at their place (Tuesday at 6 p.m.), and it's their Senior Night. We also have Moses Brown here on Friday (at 3:45). Both of those teams have been tremendous the past two weeks, so we're going to have our work cut out for us."
The Lions also have a pair remaining, but is hell-bent on earning the top seed in the D-II playoffs.
"Right now, it's a battle between Toll Gate, Coventry, Mount and us," D'Aloisio mentioned. "We're going to have to keep improving."
