Increased funding for transportation projects means drivers can expect increased road and bridge construction activity during the summer driving season.
As the summer driving season kicks into full gear, AAA urges motorists to use caution and practice safe driving habits when approaching and driving through work zones.
In light of the enactment of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Americans preparing for summer road trips should expect to encounter greater numbers of work zones and construction activity.
ARRA included $27 billion in funding for states and localities to repair as well as build highways, roads and bridges.
"Given the backlog of transportation needs across the country, AAA advocated dedicating a portion of the economic recovery funds to transportation," said Robert Darbelnet, association president and chief executive officer.
"It's important for the driving public to be aware of the increased construction activity and to adjust to changing driving conditions and work zones when they encounter them, especially during this peak travel period," added Darbelnet.
According to data compiled by the Federal Highway Administration, motorists can expect to encounter an active work zone one out of every 100 miles on the national highway system.
In 2007, 835 people were killed at locations throughout the United States in work zone motor vehicle crashes.
Federal highway safety agencies estimate that nearly four out of every five people injured or killed in work zone crashes are motorists, not roadway construction workers.
AAA encourages Carbon County motorists to:
â¢Check for planned work zone delays, traffic advisories and allot extra travel time prior to departing for trips.
â¢Stay alert and obey the directions of any police officer, firefighter or road crew flagger and follow any posted work zone advisories and signage.
Temporary work zone signs are orange and nearly always diamond-shaped, explained AAA.
As with any driving situation, local travelers should minimize interior and exterior distractions.
Construction zones may contain unusual vehicles or machinery that can divert a driver's attention, advised the association.
Drivers should be prepared to stop, slow down, shift lanes and yield to the movement of construction workers and equipment, advised federal highway safety experts.
Motorists should not turn off their vehicles when stopped on the roadway unless they will be idling for a significant period of time.
â¢Reduce travel speeds.
For the safety of all drivers and construction workers, normal posted speed limits are almost always reduced in work zones.
Most states double fines for speeding in work zones when workers are present.
Motorists, while keeping consistent with the flow of traffic, should maintain a safe distance between vehicles ahead, traffic barriers and construction workers and equipment, concluded the association.

ON THE HORIZON – Robbie Russo, D, Notre Dame
By Alan Avital
With four of its top six defensemen being 33 years and older, the Islander organization realized that it was imperative to re-stock its system with young and mobile blue-liners. They have selected 12 defensemen over the past four entry drafts, including four this past June in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Robbie Russo was the third defensemen to be taken by the Islanders in June, selected in the fourth round (95th overall). While his selection didn't receive the same fan-fare as first rounder Ryan Strome, Russo's hope is that his steady second-half play with the U.S. National Team last spring will translate into a solid collegiate career at the University of Notre Dame and beyond.
"I believe that I am one of those defensemen who plays well with the puck," said Russo, who helped the U.S. under-18 national team win its third straight championship this past May. "I am calm back there and I play with poise, but I know that if I want to take that next step, I need to physically get stronger."
Standing 5-feet-11 inches tall and weighing 186 pounds, Russo believes that adding 10 pounds will be greatly beneficial to his overall play. Still, it was his offensive prowess that drew the attention of current Notre Dame head coach and former Islander assistant Jeff Jackson, when recruiting the 18-year old Russo.
"We recruited him because of his offensive potential," said Jackson, who ironically compares his young defenseman to former Islander standout Kenny Jonsson. "Kenny was a good decision-maker and a good skater, as is Robbie. But Robbie knows that he has to get physically stronger to become a more explosive defenseman."
Russo's introduction to the sport of hockey began at the tender age of three, as he went with his parents to a "Free Skate" in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois.
"My parents could see that I could skate," said Russo. "So everything escalated from there."
Russo, who continued to play hockey for the next decade on the pee-wee level throughout the Chicago area, moved on to play high school hockey at Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor, Michigan where collegiate and U.S. national scouts took notice.
"Pioneer High School was a good place to develop. It also got me a lot of exposure," said Russo.
But it was a sub-par first half for the U.S. National Team that hurt Russo's draft ranking, allowing the Islanders to sneak up and grab him a few rounds earlier than expected.
"Robbie was hoping to be selected in the first two rounds, but he was just average in the first half last season," said Jackson. "He really picked up his play in the second half and played real well. You could see the instincts on the blue-line, and he is here (Notre Dame) to gain that defensive intensity."
Through the early part of his freshman season at Notre Dame, Russo's off-season hard work has earned the confidence of his sixth-year head coach. Jackson has played his team's second-youngest player in even strength, penalty kill and power play situations.
"Coach Jackson is big on details, "said Russo, who has assisted on two of Notre Dame's goals in his first five collegiate games. "He has told me to be myself, and has given me good minutes so far."
Russo's teammate and highly-touted Islander prospect Anders Lee also has taken notice.
"Robbie is a great defenseman," said Lee, who himself leads the country in goal scoring with eight, including notching his second-career hat-trick in Friday night's 5-2 Notre Dame victory over RPI to open up the brand-new Compton Family Ice Arena in South Bend. "He is playing on our power play. It is nice having him shoot the puck."
Islander fans got a glimpse of Russo this past June when he joined Lee on Long Island for the Blue-White scrimmage.
"It was pretty cool going down to New York and seeing a lot of the guys," said Russo, who himself eyes current San Jose Shark Dan Boyle and Detroit Red Wing and future Hall of Famer Nicklas Lidstrom as guys he has patterned his game after. "There are a lot of good, young defensemen there (on Long Island). The competition is definitely stiff, but I am definitely excited to show the Islanders that one day I could be a difference maker."

In the world of mobile gadgets and accessories, it doesn't take much these days to start the rumor mill turning. So when Motorola advisor Guy Kawasaki made a Google+ post last week about a customizable car, the internet naturally started speculating about what that could mean regarding the rumored upcoming Google-Motorola X Phone.
The one line post, which reads, "Wouldn't it be great if you could personalize your phone like this," has prompted many to wonder whether the X Phone will itself be customizable. (The X Phone hasn't yet been officially announced, by the way.)
Some are really running with the rumor. AndroidAndMe posited that "customers will be able to customize their devices," choosing their color, as well as "some of the hardware specs like RAM and internal storage."
Going even further, AndroidAndMe proposes the possibility that the X Phone won't just be one smartphone, but an entire line, designed to compete with Samsung's Galaxy brand.
So, is this taking Kawasaki's Tweet way too far? Maybe so and maybe not. As CNET points out:
"Surely, the timing of Kawasaki's comments is not coincidental. Or is it? In the age of Reddit and Internet trolling, I begrudgingly must reserve some skepticism for the rumor. Is Guy having a bit of fun with his fan base or is he legitimately gauging public interest?"
If there's truth to the speculation, this could be a major follow-up to Google's previous smartphone offering, the more or less standard Nexus 4. But we'll probably find out for sure soon enough. As CNET notes, "should there be fire behind the smoke, this is the sort of rumor that won't be contained for long."

A collision between a motorcycle and a semi-tractor trailer on U.S. Highway 6 resulted in the death of a Colorado man Sunday at approximately 11:15 a.m.
Jerome Jehl, age 50 of Colorado, was killed when his westbound motorcycle reportedly ran into the back of a semi-truck.
The semi was also headed westbound in the right lane near mile post 260 when the Sept. 1 fatal accident occurred about four miles south of the Sunnyside Junction.
Jehl apparently was trying to pass a pickup truck traveling in the passing lane on the right when cyclist collided with the truck, according to accident investigators.
The driver of the semi, Jackie Holt age 55 of Texas was not injured in the accident.
"The pickup truck did not stop at the scene," explained Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Jason Marshall. "We don't think the driver was even aware the accident happened."
The preliminary investigation conducted at the scene indicated that the semi was apparently traveling between 40 and 45 miles an hour in the attempt to climb an incline on the roadway when the fatal traffic accident happened.
Critically injured in the mishap was Judy Jehl, the 48-year-old wife of the deceased motorcycle driver. She was thrown from the bike and was determined to be paralyzed at the scene.
The injured woman was life flighted directly to University of Utah hospital.
According to the information Trooper Marshall received, it appears the victim will be permanently paralyzed . Doctors have little hope she will recover from the spinal injuries.

FOXBORO -- After straining his left hamstring in the first half against the Bills and missing the second half, rookie inside linebacker Dont'a Hightower returned to practice on Thursday and Friday and proclaimed himself a "game-time" decision for Sunday against the Broncos.
"Right now, it's going to be a day-to-day thing," Hightower said. "It's going to be up to [trainer Jim Whalen] and coach Belichick. But, each day, I'm getting better, feeling better and moving around great. So, it's going to be a game-time decision. It's going to be up to them.
"No pain. I'm out there, I'm running around and doing everything I can but again, each day it's a day-by-day thing and we're going to have to see about that."

California Community Colleges and California State University Launch New Associate Degree for Transfer Website – ADegreeWithAGuarantee.com
Website Serves as Comprehensive Resource
for Information about Transfer Degree
California State University
Mike Uhlenkamp
(562) 951-4800
California Community Colleges
Paige Marlatt Dorr
(916) 327-5356
(October 2, 2012) –The California Community Colleges and the California State University have launched a new website that provides comprehensive information about the new Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T/AS-T) pathway that lets students earn an associate degree and a bachelor's degree, with no wasted units. The website, ADegreeWithAGuarantee.com, is the ultimate resource for students and parents to learn about the Associate Degree for Transfer.
"An Associate Degree for Transfer will ease the transfer process for California Community College students to transfer to a CSU campus and ADegreeWithAGurantee.com is the best place for students and parents to get information about this exciting new program," said Erik Skinner, executive vice chancellor of programs for the California Community Colleges.
The key features of the website include:
- Complete details on how the new transfer pathway works
- Up-to-date information about the transfer majors available at CCC campuses that are matched to similar BA degrees at CSU campuses
- Interactive maps that help students find a campus
- Application information
- A degree progress checklist
- Testimonials from students who have earned an Associate Degree for Transfer and have successfully transferred to a CSU campus
"ADegreeWithAGuarantee.com explains how the new transfer pathway works and the many benefits for students to earn an Associate Degree for Transfer," said Ephraim P. Smith, CSU executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer. "This is an excellent tool and we're excited to share it with students, parents and the people who will help them make informed decisions about pursuing their bachelor of arts or science degrees."
The Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (SB 1440, Padilla) became law in 2010 and requires the California Community Colleges and California State University to collaborate on the creation of AA-T and AS-T degrees. Upon earning these degrees, students will be guaranteed admission to a CSU campus with junior standing. While not guaranteed admission to their campus of choice, students will be given priority consideration for admission to a CSU campus that offers a program that has been designated as "similar" by CSU. Once enrolled at CSU, students will be able to complete a Bachelor of Arts or Science degree with no more than 60 additional units.
Community colleges offer more than 450 new associate degrees for transfer in 20 of the most popular transfer majors, and more are being added. These degrees provide pathways to more than 300 baccalaureate degrees across the CSU. ADegreeWithAGuarantee.com will be updated as more degrees become available every term.

The fire that started on June 23 has burned about 7100 acres in the Argyle/Indian Canyon area and a number of structures have been destroyed during the blaze.
In the last two weeks local fire fighters from Price and Helper have assisted in protecting structures in the canyon and helped crews succeed in keeping many from going up in flames.
On Saturday property owners will be allowed entry to the area to assess damage to their property. The roadblock at the summit of Indian Canyon will still be in place and owners who want to go in will have to show identification and will need to be on a property owners list to enter.
Presently the fire fighting efforts are being staged out of the Duchesne County Fairgrounds in Duchesne. Currently there are 329 personnel on the fire which is comprised of eight type 2 engine crews, 18 engines, two helicopters, three bulldozers and eight water tenders.
The rain and humidity in the last couple of days have helped in fighting the fire. Today firefighters are working on hot spots and building fire lines. The size of the force working on the fire will decrease as the fire gets near to full containment. Full containment is expected to happen July 7.

Preserve your view, yet keep your privacy during the day with Sheer pleated shades. Show me more
Sheer Pleated Shades - Because there is more light outside your home during the day, these shades will make it difficult for people outside to see in during the daytime, preserving your privacy, while keeping your view.
Sheer pleated shades are also great at letting the maximum amount of light in, while screening out a not so beautiful view outside if you face an apartment building or other unsightly scene. Sheer and semi-sheer pleated blinds are a beautiful compliment as part of a blind with 2 shades in 1, for maximum light control.

Have you ever wondered why it was that for a couple of hundred years before the Founding of the United States, and for nearly two hundred years after the Founding of the United States the Bible was permitted, even encouraged to be taught in America's schools? I think we all know the answer: parents and educators understood what the American Founders understood, that a true education was not just about developing smarts, talents, and skills that enable graduates to make a living — as important as that was and is — but about developing the moral wherewithal to apply these same smarts, talents, and skills in ways that bless rather than curse themselves, their families, their communities, and their nation.

Are you a consultant by any chance? If so, let's talk. If not, off with youOriginally Posted by cga
I have switched my primary workstation operating system to CentOS. CentOS is a repackaged Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution essentially Red Hat minus the branding and cost. Since Red Hat Enterprise Linux is composed open source software, Red hat releases all source code for the product publicly under the terms of the GNU General Public License. The CentOS developers use that source code to built CentOS.
With the current release what you get is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.2. It works well and does what I want it to do. But the best thing of all about CentOS is that it has a long life cycle. This version will be supported to 2012. For a lot of Linux enthusiasts that may sound crazy, but to business and institutions, that is the main thing they want consistency and long term support. Im at that point now myself. I just want something that is 100% Open Source, that works and that lets me make money. CentOS seems to fit the bill.

I am currently an instructor at a trade school and an independent web developer and support guy. My original instructor posting was to teach A+ certification prep classes and introductory networking. I have managed to expand this somewhat and have updated our intro to networking to include Linux. I have also just finished the syllabus for a class that will give an overview of Linux and Linux applications. I am pushing to add a Linux+ program.Originally Posted by Outlaw
In my other work, I do Web site design, hosting and application development for small businesses using Open Source solutions (CSS, PHP, MySQL). I do some Windows desktop support work for my clients as well, and promote the use of Open Source solutions on Windows. Now I am looking to try and expand my business into full service Open Source consulting as well. I am at the beginning of this trip, and have a ways to go yet.
Cool. PM on its way.Originally Posted by cga
I'm on RHEL 4 at work and I'm happy with it. Linux distros tend to be stable ... RHEL is super stable. Does CentOS have a comercial support infastructure?

Cloud Expo Silicon Valley $500 Savings here!
Two types of cloud infrastructure have emerged to clearly differentiate the choices enterprises face in their cloud migration strategies: enterprise virtualization clouds versus elastic cloud infrastructure. The former defines infrastructure built to support legacy enterprise applications like those built on SAP and Oracle. The canonical example is a vSphere stack. The second cloud category - elastic cloud - defines infrastructure built to support new, dynamic applications like mobile, gaming, Big Data, and PaaS. The canonical example is public cloud provider Amazon Web Services (AWS).
In his session at the 11th International Cloud Expo, Troy Angrignon, Vice President of Sales & Partnering at Cloudscaling, will explain how enterprise CIOs are increasingly faced with the need to build and support new, dynamic apps built on REST-ful APIs under the devops model. Unfortunately, new apps are ill-suited to their enterprise virtualization stacks. Running them on public clouds like AWS works technically, but this presents regulatory, availability and proprietary issues. CIOs are asking for an elastic cloud infrastructure that's architecturally and behaviorally consistent with AWS, but they want it in their data center.
Know the strengths of each cloud type, so you can make informed infrastructure decisions for your enterprise.

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome," is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

Dozens of Mainers packed a State House hearing room today to oppose Gov. Paul LePage's plan to gut the state's publicly-financed elections system. The governor says he needs the program's $4 million to balance the new state budget. Defenders say without Clean Elections, Maine's legislative and governor's races would be controlled by special interests. A. J. Higgins has more.
In 1996, Maine voters overwhelmingly supported the idea of offering publicly-financed campaign options for candidates running for governor or the Maine Legislature. But since then things have changed - both in terms of campaign spending and the amount of money available to fund the program.
Gov. Paul LePage wants to eliminate the Maine Clean Elections program. Adrienne Bennett is his spokesperson. "He simply believes that giving welfare to politicians comes further down the list than protecting our most vulnerable," she says. "We have difficult choices to make, we have a fiscal crisis in front of us and we need to choose."
But supporters say Clean Elections helps put a lid on the influence of big money in legislative races. Anne Luther, a spokeswoman for the League of Women Voters, told members of the Legislature's Appropriations Committee that the state's Clean Election Act had the support of 56 percent of Maine voters when it was approved at the ballot box. She says eliminating funding for the program would be nothing less than a breach of the public trust.
"Today in our country, we have more concentrated wealth and income than at any time since the beginning of the last century," Luther said. "There is nothing more antithetical to the rights of citizens in a democracy than concentrated wealth and power. Research at the federal level shows that legislators and policy makers are vastly more attentive to the interests of the affluent than they are to those of everyone else. Researchers call this representational inequality. That's the notion that, although we each get one vote, we are not all represented with the same vigor."
Among the dozens of Maine residents attending the hearing was Joseph Kubetz, of Portland. Kubetz says he couldn't help but notice the irony of holding a hearing on a plan to defund a program designed to limit the impact of corporate contributions to elections on a day when the Bangor Savings Bank chose to celebrate its new Augusta office building by buying the lunches of everyone who ate at the State House complex cafeteria.
"I noticed on the way in that lunch today is being provided by Bangor Savings Bank, which is terrific, that's great. I'm going to go have some lunch after this hearing - right? That's a good thing," Kubetz said. "But - See where I'm going with this? - we don't want that kind of interest to be running our state."
Same Jones, of Phippburg, says there's a direct link between the ways that political campaigns are financed and the strength of a democracy. Without a Clean Elections option, Jones says Maine's State House elections will be decided by those with the most to invest.
"The amount of money at issue today at this hearing - $4 million - is significant but not huge when compared with the amount of special interest funds available," Jones said. "If left intact as Clean Election funds, the money will help the people of Maine elect candidates who represent all of the people in Maine. Without it, Mainers and the environment will suffer and good candidates will refrain from running for office."
But House Republican Leader Ken Fredette says public financing in Maine elections was more or less neutralized three years ago. That's when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the Citizens United case to lift a federal ban on independent expenditures by corporations and labor unions prior to an election.
A year later, the court ruled that it was unconstitutional for states like Maine to provide publicly-financed matching funds to candidates whose opponents were privately funded, or who were the beneficiaries of third-party spending. Fredette says since then, Maine's legislative spending has reached record levels.
"Let's be clear on one thing - the Democrats opened the flood gates in this past election, spending upwards of $50,000, $60,000 and $70,000 on some House races," Fredette said. "And so Clean Elections has been virtually disbanded by the United decision."
Participation in the Maine Clean Elections program included about 80 percent of all legislative candidates in 2008. That figure declined to just over 60 percent in 2012.

Israel Chemicals Second-Quarter Profits Soar
August 20, 2008 | Deepti Ramesh
Israel Chemicals Ltd. (ICL; Tel Aviv) has reported a 445% increase in net profits to $703.2 million for the second quarter ended June 30. And sales for the period increased by 116% to $2.07 billion. The rise in sales was driven by ICL Fertilizers business segment, which is benefiting from the continued rise in demand and prices of potash and phosphate fertilizers, ICL says. The ICL Industrial Products segment contributed to growth with improved demand for some of its products and the ICL Performance Products segment benefited from higher selling prices, ICL says...

Edit: I just read the final words of the first edition, and it seems the Council thought hard about what to do and really decided to leave the texts as they are, typos and all. So I'll hold off on any proofreading right now, maybe it's bad timing to be bringing this up at this point in the process anyway. Let's see what happens around the third edition, if you do decide to go for an all-out editing spree, count me in!
But having the source files somewhere out there somewhere would be very interesting regardless. I'm really curious what the editing process is like right now.

The Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL) is pleased to announce that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has published its first-ever Department plan for providing meaningful access to homeland security programs and activities to people with limited English proficiency (LEP). At DHS, we recognize the importance of being able to communicate effectively with individuals, including those with limited English proficiency, across our many missions and functions from preventing terrorism, to enforcing our immigration laws and ensuring resilience to disasters.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, 20.6% of the U.S. population speaks a language other than English. Of that percentage, 42.4% speak English less than "very well."
This Language Access Plan establishes a system within DHS to implement Executive Order 13166, Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency (August 11, 2000), which states that people with limited English proficiency should have meaningful access to federally conducted and federally funded programs and activities, including services and benefits.
In addition to describing the Department's current language access activities, the plan includes steps to improve and increase language services for LEP individuals in operations, services, activities, and programs across DHS.
Components will now begin to develop individual language access plans. Your input is valuable to us. Please send any comments or questions that can inform the Department's language access plans currently underway to CRCL at email@example.com, or go to www.dhs.gov/crcl for additional information.
