26. May 2015 - Our RFID system
RFID system: Winner of two awards - Confirmed as an innovative and ground-breaking solution. More information: www.rfidick.de
The coveted industry prize, the Fleischerei Technik Award, has been awarded for the third time by the trade magazines Fleischerei Technik and Fleischer Handwerk. As in the past, ground-breaking developments and outstanding innovations were honoured with the award. When it came to choosing their winners, the jury of experts, made up of scientists and editorial staff, were looking for factors such as quality improvements, cost reductions, sustainability and efficient process design. From the large number of entries, the top innovations were grouped under eight categories. With their RFID system, Friedr.Dick was awarded the Fleischerei Technik Award in the "Quality Management" category.
Since 2006, the Huber Verlag für Neue Medien GmbH and the Initiative Mittelstand have been awarding the INDUSTRIEPREIS annually to the best and the most progressive industrial companies. The award enjoys a very high reputation, thanks to its large and top class jury of experts, made up of professors, scientists, representatives from industry and specialist journalists. The products and solutions that are submitted are evaluated by the jury according to a defined number of criteria. These include the innovation factor (newness, product maturity and forward-looking characteristics), the benefits (identifiable benefits, contribution to profitability, efficiency increases) and its suitability for the Mittelstand (relevance, practicability, implementation). Decisive criteria for the jury's decision are the economic, social, ecological or technological benefits. The RFID system convinced the jury in the "IT & software solution" category and is ranked amongst the best of the INDUSTRIEPREIS 2015.
Quality and safety, including the traceability of tools, are of great significance in the food processing industry. It is important to be able to assign tools uniquely to persons and to departments and to be able to provide complete traceability and seamless monitoring under operating conditions. Through its subsidiary RFIDICK GmbH , Friedr. Dick offers a complete system of hardware, software and tools for the seamless and fully automated traceability of the deployed tools and quality guideline documentation. The RFID system breaks down into three components:
Tool management: The seamless monitoring of tools and accurate assignment to persons, groups and departments is guaranteed with the MasterGrip RFID and ExpertGrip RFID knife series as well as with various sharpening steels and protective articles that have an integrated RFID transponder. An RFID reader has no problem with the rapid scanning of several knives and tools at the same time.
Tool tracking: User-defined checking stations equipped with RFID readers can be deployed on a modular basis. At a glance, the user can see which tools were issued to which employees or departments as well as which tools were left at the workplace at the end of the shift or may have been swapped.
Quality management: The powerful "Knifeinspector" software delivers various statistics and reports and ensures process optimisation and transparency of operation. Employees' awareness levels are raised, pilferage rates are reduced and workplace safety levels go up. Cases of damage that can lead to the loss of a complete production run or to equipment damage are reduced to a large extent.

02. April 2015 - The Asian classic Yanagiba and Tanto complete the Red Spirit Series!
NEW! Tanto and Yanagiba for everyone looking for the extraordinary!
When considering the Red Spirit Series the product designers at Friedr.Dick were inspired by Asian craftsmanship and developed an Asian-style series, "Made in Germany". Produced with German precision and traditional manufacturing methods using state of the art production technology, "Red Spirit" has successfully established itself in the commercial marketplace. Now the series is complemented by two additional Asian classics: the Yanagiba and the Tanto.
The Yanagiba is also designated as a sushi knife in Asian regions and is used for filleting both fish and meat. Its name comes from the shape of the blade, which is inspired by the fine leaves of the willow tree - called Yanagi in Japanese. The one-sided edge and the special geometrical cutting edge give the knife its outstanding sharpness.
The Tanto is the Japanese name for a short sword, which originates from traditional Asian and Japanese martial arts. Friedr. Dick has expanded upon the unique shape of the blade enhancing even further developments to the characteristics of this style of knife. The result is an extraordinary knife for cutting meat and vegetables. The two phases of the cutting edge give the Tanto its impressive look and outstanding sharpness. This has already been confirmed by the nomination for the German Design Award 2016.

Thomas Lang is absolutely astounding! He does some of the most amazing fills I've ever heard and half the time the sticks are in the air while he's doing it! It doesn't even seem humanly possible to play like he does; and he makes it look so easy...I started playing drums the year he was born (I was 13) and I couldn't even begin to play like him in my wildest dreams. Guys like him make me realize how much there is left to learn; and at 57 yrs old, I'm still improving. Maybe if I live to be 300 or so I might get as good (if I practice diligently) Thank you Thomas for humbling me and showing me just how far you can take drumming! A HUGE FAN, Steven C. Niemand

So it's been done, at least from what we read on sites like BoyGeniusReport.com, there is finally an unlock and jailbreak for the Apple iPhone 3Gs. This means that you will no longer be forced to use your new iPhone 3Gs one AT&T or more importantly you can by one and use it with any GSM service world wide.
The amazing thing is that the unlock was released by Geohotz. That's right the same guy who unlocked the original Apple iPhone way back in August 2007.
So where does that leave us? Well hopefully that means we, at PureMobile, will be able carry the unlocked iPhone 3Gs at a great price. For now get all your accessories from Griffin Car Chargers and Wall Chargers to iSkin iPhone covers from us

Ottumwa High School drama teacher Natalie Saunders and local theater director Dale Dommer are working together on 'The Laramie Project' at the city's performing arts center, after administrators nixed the production at the school. 'It isn't just about the performance,' Saunders said. 'Theater is a tool for education.' / Michael Morain/The Register
OTTUMWA, IA. — The show will go on — somewhere else.
Now that leaders at Ottumwa High School have nixed plans for a student production of "The Laramie Project" this fall, the school's drama teacher has decided to stage it on her own terms — with many of her students — at the city's performing arts center.
The drama around the drama is the latest revival of a debate that has played out in schools across the country, including West Des Moines' Valley High School, where a 2006 "Laramie" production prompted a firestorm of controversy: on a local radio station, on the sidewalks where the Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church protested, and on the school-board ballot, where a concerned dad launched an unsuccessful campaign to unseat the members who gave the show a green light.
Ottumwans are dusting off a similar script seven years later. Alumni have written letters to the Ottumwa Courier. Parents have called the local school board.
Ottumwa High's administrators hoped to troubleshoot a potential problem before it turned into a bigger ordeal.
The years since the Valley controversy have seen legalization of same-sex marriage in Iowa and other states, and recently the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a fatal blow to the Defense of Marriage Act. But in some ways the spotlight of "Laramie" is brighter. Schools everywhere have stepped up the fight against bullying, especially the kind that led to the 1998 murder of a 21-year-old gay man named Matthew Shepard outside Laramie, Wyo., that inspired the 2000 play by Moises Kaufman, and a sequel, "The Laramie Project: 10 Years Later."
In Iowa, 14-year-old Kenneth Weishuhn of Primghar, Ia., killed himself last year after coming out to his classmates, who had taunted him on Facebook. The documentary "Bully" brought national attention to Sioux City public schools around the same time. After the "Laramie" production at Valley, former Gov. Chet Culver visited the school to sign a bill to ban bullying in all Iowa schools.
So Ottumwa students say it's hard to understand why school administrators wouldn't want them to produce a play that confronts those issues head-on.
"It doesn't make any sense," said Jordan Young, a junior in the thespian group. "This is a show that deals specifically with bullying and the outcome that it had on an entire town because of one bullying incident. If they're trying to get rid of bullying, then why would they say 'no' to this show?"
Principal Mark Hanson, who made the decision to cancel the performance, said he agrees with the play's message. But he'd rather see more family-friendly fare on the high school stage. He noted that when Indian Hills Community College performed the show in town a few years ago, they spread the word: viewer discretion advised.
"Could we have done it? Yeah," Hanson said. "We were on the fence with it, but we came to the conclusion that it would be better at a community theater," where it could reach a wider audience and wouldn't have to be scrubbed of its original R-rated language. (The West Des Moines production swapped in some "hecks" and "darns" with the playwright's permission.)
Ottumwa resident Pam Schulz, who has nine grandchildren in Ottumwa schools, was relieved to learn that the play will not be a high school production.
"When I saw the article in the paper, I thought, 'Well, that's certainly the right approach,' " she said. "That's not a play that should be promoted for any family entertainment. I'm especially concerned about the younger children. The way it's presented is just not healthy for student entertainment."
Superintendent Davis Eidahl also supported Hanson's decision.
"We can all agree: It's an important show for people to see because of its powerful message about the brutality of intolerance and the senselessness of it," he said. "But we want to produce plays that encourage the greatest number of individuals and families to come out and watch."
And that's where Natalie Saunders disagrees. The drama teacher has taught in Ottumwa for 15 years, directing heavy hitters such as "The Crucible" (about adultery and ostracization), "Dark of the Moon" (religious intolerance) and "David and Lisa" (mental-health disorders). She coached a shortened, readers-theater version of "The Laramie Project" back in 2001, and her high school students took it to competition without much fuss.
"It isn't just about the performance," she said. "Theater is a tool for education. I look at: Which shows are my students ready to handle? Who in my program is looking at pursuing theater in the future? You can't always showcase a student's strongest talents unless you push them to a new level."
She recruited Dale Dommer, a local theater director, to help with the now-independent play set for October at the Bridge View Center. He wrote a letter to the school board, urging them to overrule the decision to cancel the play.
"This is censorship at best, and it is wrong," Dommer said.
"The Laramie Project" was the 10th-most-frequently produced non-musical play on high school stages during 2011-12, according to the Educational Theatre Association, based in Cincinnati. The nonprofit group surveys roughly 3,750 schools nationwide. "Laramie" is also a popular choice for colleges and community theaters, including a handful in Iowa that have followed StageWest's state premiere in Des Moines in 2002.
But even as the show becomes more accepted, disagreements like the one in Ottumwa still surface from time to time across the country. The play has become a measuring stick to see how much public opinion has or hasn't changed in the 15 years since Shepard's death.
The Matthew Shepard Foundation responded to the Ottumwa debate on the foundation's Facebook page, saying it was disappointed with the school leaders' decision:
"The story of what happened to Matthew and the impact on Laramie offers a meaningful opportunity to engage both the student population and the community in conversation about hate and the violence it breeds. Teenagers — whether they be in Iowa, New York City or any other part of the country — are living this 'adult content' every day in their schools, communities and homes. Students of all ages deal with the issues of bullying, hatred and bias on a daily basis. They are much wiser and have seen more than many adults would like to believe."
Superintendent Eidahl said he wished the decision-making process had started earlier. The issue landed on his desk in May, in the rush of end-of-the-year duties and graduation. He said the decision will stand, and he is ready to move on.
"It's overshadowed all the progress we're making," he said, citing last year's record-high attendance, at 95.4 percent, and a five-point boost in student-satisfaction surveys over the last three years. "We've worked very hard at our high school to create a culture of compassion and respect and acceptance, and that's not accomplished with an assembly or some poster on the wall. It's accomplished every day in the classrooms, in the hallway, in the lunchroom. It's about setting standards that ensure that each and every student can get up in the morning and feel good and even excited about coming to our schools."
"The idea that we're not allowing these conversations to take place at our high school couldn't be further from the truth," he said.
He plans to attend the play at the Bridge View Center in October, during the first fall semester without an Ottumwa High play for as long as anyone seems to remember. A replacement was never scheduled.
Reporter Mary Stegmeir contributed to this story.

(Jun 17, 2013) On April 30, 2013, the Knesset (Israel's parliament) passed the Electronic Monitoring of Persons Released on Bail from Arrest and from Imprisonment (Temporary Order) (Amendment No. 3) Law 5773-2013. Amendment No. 3 extends to March 1, 2014, the application of the law on electronic monitoring, which had originally been enacted in July 2009 and periodically extended. (Electronic Monitoring of Persons Released on Bail from Arrest and Those Released from Imprisonment (Temporary Order) (Amendment No. 3) Law 5773-2013 [in Hebrew], Knesset website; for the original text of the law in Hebrew, see SEFER HAHUKIM [BOOK OF LAWS, Israel's official gazette] 5771, No. 2202, 2009 at 154.)
The law authorizes the Prisons Authority to monitor persons who were released on bail through the use of electronic devices to ensure compliance with bail conditions that may restrict such persons' exit to or entry into specific venues. The Prisons Authority, accordingly, may, among other activities, control the operation of electronic monitoring as well as coordinate the activities of various bodies that participate in operating the monitoring.

A faculty member, not housed on the Logan campus, made history for Utah State University by being the first to receive promotion and tenure as a full professor.
Robert S. McPherson, who teaches on the USU Eastern Blanding Campus, was approved by the USU Board of Trustees April 6 to be promoted to professor in the Department of History, College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
"What an honor for Dr. McPherson and what a source of pride for USU Eastern and the Blanding Campus," said Joe Peterson, USU Eastern chancellor. "I congratulate him on this groundbreaking achievement."
McPherson is well known for his expertise in Native American History and Culture. USU Eastern Blanding Campus serves Native American students who comprise 60 percent of the nearly 800 undergraduates enrolled.
The Blanding Campus has the third largest percentage of Native Americans of the 35 most significant institutions in the Four-Corner region.
The campus's close proximity to the Navajo Reservation makes it ideally suited for programs related to Native American studies, McPherson said.
In the same way that people travel to Europe to learn about the medieval period, he said his dream is for Blanding to become the destination campus for those seeking to immerse themselves in Native American studies.
Although he does not seek the publicity, McPherson said he welcomes it if having faculty with full professor status elevates the academic recognition of the campus in Native American studies."
Guy Denton, Blanding Campus director, said McPherson deserves the recognition.
McPherson is an award-winning author of several dozen publications and 10 books, the majority of them focusing on the Navajo people. Among a number of awards and recognition of his scholarly work of Native Americans, he is winner of the 2009 Utah Book Award for nonfiction for his book, "Comb Ridge and Its People" by USU Press. He is former vice president of the College of Eastern Utah where he began teaching for the San Juan Campus in 1977.

Latest on Catcher Market: Boston not yet shopping their surplus
The Red Sox have not yet begun to feel out a market for their catching surplus (Boston Herald).
The Blue Jays claimed Eli Whiteside of waivers from the Yankees.
Michael Baron, ContributorToronto now has four catchers on their 40-man roster: Whiteside, J.P. Arencibia, Travis D'Arnoud, and John Buck. I wonder if they did that as a precursor for a deal? They're not carrying four catchers on their active roster, so it seems like they're setup to make a move. Jim Duquette said on SiriusXM Radio that he thinks the Mets and Jays matchup on a deal around R.A. Dickey and Arencibia, and he says if the Blue Jays were to add OF Anthony Gose in a deal it would be a strong package for the Mets to consider. I agree with Duquette, but it remains to be seen if that comes to fruition.

|A swish of mouthwash could be more than a route to minty fresh breath. Researchers are working to develop a test that could detect the presence of certain cancers based on compounds found in saliva samples. The proposed test would key in on hypermethylated genes, chemically modified pieces of DNA that can be found in the presence of some cancers of the head and neck. The scientists involved have found that by looking at the cellular debris found in a sample of saliva from patients with cancer, it was possible to detect cancer about 42 percent of cases. The researchers were able to use their test to rule out cancer in almost 82 percent of healthy patients. In this segment, Ira talks with one of the researchers involved with the project about its potential for cancer screening.

Buzz: The Players Could Look To Decertify
In the LA Times, Helene Elliotte writes that after the NHL rejected the NHLPA proposal yesterday, the NHLPA is considering decertifying as a union and filing anti-trust lawsuits against the league.
She writes "Individual players could invoke antitrust laws and ask a federal court to end the lockout or sue the league for unfair business practices that are otherwise protected by a union-league relationship."
This is a tactic that was used by the NBAPA and NFLPA during their lockouts in 2011.
James Mirtle writes in the Globe and Mail that the NBA signed a new CBA only 12 days after the union decertified.
Larry Coon wrote last year, about the NBA lockout, at ESPN.com, "Here's the key to the whole process: This bargaining relationship continues to exist as long as the union is in place. If the players dissolve the union, the bargaining relationship dissolves with it. Without the bargaining relationship, the league is no longer shielded from antitrust laws. Much of the economic structure of the NBA — such as the salary cap, maximum salaries, rookie-scale salaries and the luxury tax — could be challenged under the antitrust laws as a form of price fixing if there was no union. The lockout itself could be challenged as a group boycott."

Neuropsychology is a specialized field within clinical psychology that focuses on individuals with cognitive deficits related to disorders of the nervous system. Cognitive deficits involve attention, memory, language, perceptual skills, and executive functions such as planning, reasoning, problem solving, and mental flexibility. Examples of disorders of the nervous system are stroke, head injury, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and brain tumors. A large part of neuropsychology involves the administration and interpretation of cognitive tests. Neuropsychologists administer cognitive tests to individuals for a number of reasons: to determine the cause of cognitive deficits, to identify cognitive strengths and weaknesses, to determine the impact of an injury or disease on cognitive function, to determine the impact of a surgical or medical intervention on cognitive function, and to determine a diagnosis. The treatment provided by neuropsychologists typically involves psychotherapy for individuals with disorders of the nervous system, or cognitive rehabilitation to improve cognitive functioning. Therefore, neuropsychology lies at the intersection of clinical psychology, cognitive psychology, neurology and psychiatry.
To learn more about neuropsychology visit the websites of the National Academy of Neuropsychology (NAN), the International Neuropsychological Society (INS), and Division 40 of the American Psychological Association (the Society for Clinical Neuropsychology) at nanonline.org, the-ins.org, and div40.org, respectively. Specific training guidelines for neuropsychologists can be found on these websites. Also note that Loyola has a chapter of the student branch of Division 40 called the Association for Neuropsychology Students in Training (ANST). Contact Dr. Higginson if you are interested in becoming a member.
Neuropsychology is an element of neuroscience. Neuroscience is a very broad field that studies the brain. Many scientific fields contribute to neuroscience, including biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, and psychology. The elements of neuroscience that psychology focuses on are called behavioral or cognitive neuroscience. Although all neuroscientists study the brain in some way, not all neuroscientists treat patients. Those neuroscientists that treat patients are typically physicians (i.e., MD's specializing in neurology or psychiatry) or clinical psychologists (i.e., Ph.D.'s or Psy.D.'s specializing in neuropsychology). All clinical psychologists learn how to do research as a part of their training and most have to successfully complete a large research project (i.e., a thesis or dissertation) before they obtain their degree, however most physicians do not obtain this in-depth training in research. The neuroscientists that do not treat patients are researchers with Ph.D.'s that work at universities and sometimes private organizations such as pharmaceutical companies.
Typically, neuropsychologists obtain doctoral degrees in clinical psychology (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) then obtain a few years of additional specialized postdoctoral training ("postdocs"). Some doctoral training programs in clinical psychology offer specialized training in neuropsychology. These programs vary a great deal in terms of the number of neuropsychologists on the faculty, number of courses in neuropsychology offered, and number of externships or practica in neuropsychology available. The programs are limited in number and entrance is highly competitive, typically more competitive than other doctoral programs in clinical psychology. The Society for Clinical Neuropsychology maintains a list of doctoral programs that identify themselves as offering training in neuropsychology that can be found at div40.org. Note that this is not an exhaustive list. Another way to find programs where you can obtain graduate training in neuropsychology is to browse neuropsychology journals such as Neuropsychology, the Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology, the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, and the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society for articles that interest you. Loyola's library has electronic access to some of these journals. Look at the academic affiliations of the authors for psychology departments or contact the authors directly to determine if they are taking graduate students.
Currently, Loyola has two faculty members within the Psychology Department that are neuropsychologists, Dr. Christopher Higginson and Dr. Tamra Shockley. Dr. Shockley teaches undergraduate and graduate level courses and provides clinical supervision to psychology graduate students. In addition to these tasks, Dr. Higginson conducts neuropsychological research and supervises graduate student theses and dissertations.
Due to the specialized, integrative, and applied nature of the material, little coursework in neuropsychology is offered at the undergraduate level at any university. At Loyola, the Psychology Department offers a course entitled "Introduction to Human Neuropsychology" (PY332), one of the three courses that fulfill the biopsychology requirement for a Bachelor's degree in Psychology.
Because entrance into doctoral programs that have specialized training in neuropsychology is highly competitive, it is important to obtain research and/or clinical experience as early as possible before applying to graduate school. At Loyola, Dr. Higginson's research involves the cognitive deficits associated with Parkinson's disease, and the degree to which neuropsychological measures predict real world functioning. Please contact Dr. Higginson via email if you are interested in volunteering in his lab as a research assistant (RA). Keep in mind that you will need to commit to a number of hours per semester for multiple, consecutive semesters. This is because it takes a significant amount of time to learn lab tasks. It is possible for RA's to obtain course credit for their work, but many volunteer to obtain the experience and to obtain a recommendation letter for their application to graduate schools.
There is also the possibility to obtain some clinical experience in neuropsychology at the Center for the Prevention and Rehabilitation of Brain Injury and Disease (CPRBID) at the Loyola Clinical Centers at Belvedere Square. This experience will initially involve shadowing a neuropsychologist and/or extern during their clinical work on Thursdays and Fridays. After a period of shadowing, interested students may be granted some minor clinical responsibilities.
Opportunities for undergraduates to obtain clinical or research experience in neuropsychology in the Baltimore area (outside Loyola) are limited. This is common regardless of location because there are few neuropsychologists in general and because undergraduates typically do not have the time, training or experience necessary. The Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Johns Hopkins maintains two web pages that list opportunities in Neuroscience in general, not neuropsychology, specifically. They are pbs.jhu.edu/undergrad/intern-opp and pbs.jhu.edu/undergrad/research-opp. You could also contact faculty at nearby universities and teaching hospitals that conduct research that sound interesting to you. Johns Hopkins (including KKI), Towson, UMD, UMBC, Goucher all have faculty that study topics in neuropsychology.
At the graduate level, the Psychology Department offers a course entitled "Neuropsychological Assessment" (PY604/886) which can be taken by both Master's and Doctoral students. In addition, there are a number of excellent clinical and experimental neuropsychology externships in the Baltimore area that are open to both Master's and Doctoral students. The quality and breadth of these training opportunities is amongst the best in the country and Loyola's students fair very well in obtaining these externships. Amongst these is a neuropsychology externship at the Loyola Clinical Centers that is open to both Master's and Doctoral students. This externship is within the interdisciplinary Center for the Prevention and Rehabilitation of Brain Injury and Disease (CPRBID) and involves both neuropsychological assessment and rehabilitation psychotherapy for individuals of limited means experiencing chronic deficits associated with nervous system disorders.
Students who are considering applying to Loyola's doctoral program in clinical psychology and are interested in neuropsychology as a career should keep in mind that our program does not have a specialized track in neuropsychology. Because of this our students have difficulty competing against students from specialized doctoral programs for predoctoral internships and postdocs with a neuropsychology focus. Furthermore, because of the complex nature of neuropsychological assessment, doctoral students are not encouraged to obtain some limited experience in neuropsychology in order to offer neuropsychological services post-licensure as a small element of their practice, as it is unlikely that they will be adequately trained to do so. However, because of the rich train opportunities described above, Loyola is well-suited to students who are considering master's programs as an intermediate step to a doctoral program that offers specialized training in neuropsychology, and doctoral students can still benefit from the training and coursework in neuropsychology that we do offer.

Rural areas in the western United States have not traditionally been a major part of AT&T's wireless service.
While the service is provided by AT&T in and around Carbon County, it is not optimal, according to company representatives.
However, AT&T does not plan to remain on the sidelines in the rural wireless communications market.
On May 8, the company issued a news release announcing that AT&T had entered into "a definitive agreement to acquire wireless assets from Verizon wireless for $2.35 billion in cash."
The acquisition includes licenses, network assets and 1.5 million subscribers in 79 service areas, according to AT&T.
Most of the purchase represents Alltel assets, but does include Verizon Wireless as well the Former Rural Cellular Corporation.
What does the announcement mean for Carbon County residents? For now, probably not much.
"Verizon will continue to manage and service these customers because we are awaiting FCC approval in the fourth quarter of this year. And even then, Verizon will continue to manage them for a year," explained Ted Wagner, the AT&T spokesperson for Utah and New Mexico,
Verizon sold many of the assets in question because the company was forced to by the United States Federal Communications Commission.
The FCC issued the directive in order to bring more competition into the area.
"What we're buying is permits and assets where we currently don't have service," said Wagner.
The company spokesperson added that AT&T intends to spend an additional $400 million on the local network beyond the purchase price.
Aside from the assets and licenses, AT&T hopes the company will have access to a larger customer base through the deal with Verizon, according to Wagner.
Once the agreement is competed, Carbon County residents will have more choices in wireless services as well as become open to new devices such as the iPhone and Blackberry Bold, noted the company.
Wagner pointed out that he hopes consumers in the Carbon County area will be excited by the new devices they will have access to because AT&T is looking forward to the opportunity to serve customers in Utah.
AT&T will be communicate with customers on a regular basis as the transition approaches.
The press release indicated that the conversion will take no longer than 12 months because wireless is AT&T's greatest growth area.
The company hopes the acquisition will significantly increase AT&T's value in the telecommunications industry, concluded therecently issued press release.

American Angler 1866 Bass and Bay Center Console
By Capt. Rob Smith
From the Smoker Craft Family of boats comes a real screamer, the American Angler 1866 Bass and Bay Center Console. If you like thrills, you'll love this one as she is nimble and responsive. She is simple in design and wide open for fishing. Her one-piece bottom is a semi-V hull, all welded design with 3 keels for straight running, quick turns and better performance.
Starting at the bow, this test boat was rough and ready with room for a trolling motor. The upper deck will get you up to spot the fish or closer to the fish as it tries to dive under the bow. Diamond plating provides good traction even when the deck is sloppy. Just under the lip of the deck is a cargo net storage compartment to keep gloves and tools ready. One level down, the floor is built with Endurance Lifetime no-wood material that is easy to clean and takes a beating asking for more. At the end of the day, hit it with soap and water and forget about it. For those of us who like to sit back and relax waiting for the fish to bite, you can add a pedestal chair or leaning seat in this section for comfort. In the floor is a storage locker for the anchor gear, lines and fenders. The bow light should be easy to find since they provide clips for storing it inside.
The front of the fiberglass center console has a bench seat for your pals. The back flips up for easy access to the batteries or connections under the dash. In the seat base is a livewell with Power Stream aerator to keep the bait fresh and lively. Moving around to the driver's seat, there wasn't one on our test boat! Now that was a bit confusing, but this boat handled fine without it, although I like the leaning post seat with carry-on cooler underneath to keep my colas and snacks fresh. The dash is protected by a windscreen with wrap-around stainless grab bar. Steering was a 5 spoke stainless wheel. The throttle and shifter was too close to the wheel on my test ride, but that is easy to remedy. Gauges were simple with just a tachometer and fuel gauge and switches with push button breakers. You have tons of room to add GPS and fish finders, radios or whatever you like.
Behind the helm is room to cast and work lines or pots. Rod racks and tackle trays are built into the side panels and the trays have vinyl protective edges to prevent cutting you. At the aft end of the tackle trays are more cargo storage pockets for loose items. Across the stern are dual casting steps divided by a engine splash well. The pumps and plumbing is readily serviceable under the splash well.
The 1866 Bass and Bay Center Console measures 18 feet length overall and has a beam width of 86". Interior depth is 23" and transom width is 88". This model is approved for up to 80hp outboards and has a 34 gallon fuel capacity. She has a capacity of 1350lbs people and gear and weighs only 700lbs without engine.
Testing was on a windy inland lake in Indiana. I found her top speed to be 29.9mph at 6000rpm and her cruise speed to be around 18mph at 4000rpm. At cruise, she should deliver about 119 miles on a full tank of fuel. She is on plane in only 2.7 seconds and reaches her top speed at 6.5 seconds.
For the simple life aboard for fishing and a fun ride, the 1866 Bass and Bay Center Console certainly fits the bill.

California State University and SoCalGas Collaborate
to Strengthen Energy Education through Service and Learning
Claudia Keith or
Mike Uhlenkamp
(562) 951-4800
(November 27, 2012) – The California State University and Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) are working together to involve CSU students in service-learning activities that address energy efficiency and energy education. A $50,000 grant from SoCalGas will fund 10 demonstration projects that will lead to course implementation and curriculum development at six CSU campuses.
"Thanks to SoCalGas, students across the state will have the opportunity to participate in energy-related coursework, which will increase their awareness of the field and position them for careers in energy efficiency and conservation," said Judy Botelho, CSU director of the Center for Community Engagement.
The 10 demonstration projects supported by the CSU/SoCalGas alliance will expand CSU's efforts to actively engage students in service and learning related to energy, while also building a base of knowledge to grow the program. Projects will take place at Dominguez Hills, Fresno, Los Angeles, Northridge, Pomona and San Luis Obispo. Read more about each project.
"Investing in job-creating educational programs is the definition of sustainability," said Gillian Wright, SoCalGas director of Customer Programs and Assistance. "The service-learning programs that are being developed will help our economy and improve energy efficiency now, and in the years to come."
Service learning integrates meaningful community service with academic instruction and reflection, allowing students to apply their disciplinary knowledge for the common good and to strengthen communities. During the 2011-12 academic year, 85,000 students from all 23 CSU campuses contributed more than one million hours to their communities through more than 2,600 service-learning courses. For more information about CSU service learning and the CSU's Center for Community Engagement, please visit www.calstate.edu/cce/.

It may grow on me, but I like the current one better at least from that view.
Looks better but is nothing that great. I'll probably like it better when its unveiled. Hopefully this pig lost some blubber.

You'll notice in that report that one of Ford's top goals is to reduce vehicle weight from now through 2020.
"There's a lie that all drivers tell themselves -- death is something that happens to other people. That's how you find the courage to get in the car in the first place. But more powerful than even the fear of death itself is the will to win."

It looks like a big Escape kinda.

Do you mean the hardware? If so, you can use just about any PC to install Linux on. Just check the hardware compatibility list and be sure the components will work. Of course, it is fun to build you own box as well.Originally Posted by red_99
As to the software side, you can download a free Linux distro -- I highly recommend CentOS if you are interested in learning the server and networking side of things. Ubuntu or Fedora are good choices for a desktop system.

|Shade-grown coffee is sometimes called "bird friendly coffee," but a new paper in the journal Current Biology suggests that the plantations also help maintain the genetic diversity of native tree species. "Shade-grown" refers to the way coffee has been traditionally farmed. On shade-grown plantations, coffee shrubs have been planted in the shade of tall trees, making excellent homes for birds and other forest-dwelling wildlife. Study author Shalene Jha discusses the research and its implications.

Buzz: The Rangers Reached Out To Denis Potvin in 1993-94?
Yesterday, Stan Fischler, sent out a bunch of tweets saying that in 1994 the Rangers offered former Islanders captain Denis Potvin a contract.
Fischler's tweets were:
- Thanks to pal Phil Czochanski, we have the "inside" on Potvin nearly becoming a Ranger. Phil got it straight from Denis. It happened in 1994
- Phil says,"Denis had been retired for 5 seasons" when Rangers made the offer: "They offered him a $5 mil bonus for a Cup win; and $2 mil for the rest of that season and $5 mil for the following season."
- Phil, who worked with Denis on Panthers telecasts asked Potvin why he turned down the Rangers offer. "Denis told me that he was flattered," says Phil, "but worried about injuries, not being on top of his game.
- "Denis wondered about the reception he'd get from Rangers fans in his first game at MSG; and his reception from Isles fans at Nassau….
- "Potvin rejected the offer because he was happy with his life at that point. He was flattered but politely declined." Still, hard to imagine
According to George Vescey in the New York Times, Mike Keenan was unhappy with his team prior to the 1994 trade deadline and made a comment saying that he wished he had Denis Potvin on his team. Potvin retired after the 1987-88 season and was a broadcaster with the Panthers at the time.
Vescey writes "Potvin was flattered. Potvin was also smart. He said thanks but no thanks. The damage, however, was done. The players and the fans could see that Mike Keenan was so uncomfortable with his team that he would banter the name of the suave, slap shot-firing, ankle-snapping, hope-breaking symbol of that half-a-century-plus of frustration."

Catch "The Boulevard" Travel Video in Downtown Savannah Georgia
The Thunderbird Inn recruited more than a dozen of its closest business friends to help film "The Boulevard," now playing below and on a YouTube screen near you.
The name comes from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, just a block or so away from our retro hotel. We planned the video to showcase the area within a couple of blocks of the boulevard – from Barnard to Boundary streets — a treasure trove of attractions new and old that often fly below visitors' radar. Ships of the Sea Museum, SCAD Museum of Art, and the Georgia State Railroad Museum are some of the better known destinations in our new video, but we can introduce both tourists and locals to undiscovered gems.
For example, you can drop the better part of 20 bucks to lunch on famous soul food Southern cooking in downtown Savannah – and we'd be among the first to admit it's worth every penny. But the Boulevard hosts an authentic soul food restaurant where you can fill up for a mere $5 on an equally memorable meal, seven days a week.
So check out our video. It's a fast-paced preview of what's in striking distance of the hippest hotel in Savannah! The collaborative video project was developed by Thunderbird Inn's general manager, Mark Thomas, local marketing consultant Sandy Traub, and Guy Smith's Popcorn Octane LLC digital production firm based in Hilton Head Island, SC.
For more information contact Mark Thomas, telephone 912-232-2661, mark [at] thethunderbirdinn [dot] com and on Twitter @TBirdInn.

Lets say you're a web developer/programmer and you want to set up a personal portfolio site.
Unfortunately, like most people with a full time job and a family, your time is hard to come by. You make the choice to, instead of building your own site from scratch, implement something like WordPress or Drupal.
What effect (if any) might this have on people's (potential employers/fellow developers) perception of you as a developer?

[Updated, 6:34 p.m.] The owner of the New York Jets has apologized to a TV Azteca reporter following allegations that Jets personnel harassed her at practice this weekend, and she has accepted, the reporter told CNN's Rick Sanchez on Monday.
The NFL says it is investigating media reports that Jets players behaved inappropriately - including allegedly hooting and hollering at her in their locker room - when Ines Sainz visited the team Saturday to interview Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez for the Mexican TV network.
Sainz said Monday that Jets owner Woody Johnson called her to apologize. ESPNNewYork.com reported earlier Monday that Johnson said he offered an "open apology" to her.
"I accept the apologies, and I said thanks to him for the concern and all the rest of the team, because he promised that he is going to make everybody on his team respect … women," Sainz said on CNN's "Rick's List." "And I think the important point is that women deserve respect in any profession, so I think it's going to happen."
Sainz said that although she told Johnson not to worry, she did feel a little uncomfortable because of players' behavior in the locker room, and that she thinks the behavior was unacceptable.
"I think that it's not good that this kind of thing happened, and it mustn't happen anymore. I'm agreeing with the idea that it's good that everybody knows that a woman or a man deserve the same treatment in the locker room," Sainz said.
According to the New York Post, Sainz claims that while she was standing on the sidelines at practice, Jets coach Rex Ryan and a member of his staff overthrew passes so they would land near her.
Then, when she entered the locker room to interview Mark Sanchez, she said she heard players discussing her.
"I try not to hear anything, try not to pay attention. My cameraman told me, 'Don't look on the right, don't look at the left," she said. "But I really feel the noise and all the environment was talking about me."
She said she never felt she was in danger in the locker room. Later, she said, other reporters said they heard the players say things about her that she didn't hear.
"One colleague – one female colleague – came with me and [told] me, 'I'm so sorry. It mustn't happen. It's not OK,'" Sainz said. "So I tried to calm her. … I really know that she [heard] something that I didn't hear, and the rest of the media … heard things that I didn't really hear. So I really appreciate the concern about it."
[Original post, 9:58 a.m.] The New York Jets think this is their year. They were one game from the Super Bowl last season, were just featured on HBO's NFL documentary series "Hard Knocks" and their coach Rex Ryan is on the cover of this week's New York Times magazine and seems to love putting himself and his team in the spotlight.
So you'd think that with their season starting tonight with the first game in their brand new stadium, on Monday Night Football no less, they'd be thrilled to be on the front page of the New York tabloid papers. But today's publicity isn't the kind of publicity the Jets really want - the league is investigating whether coach Ryan, a member of his staff, and some of his players behaved inappropriately toward TV Azteca reporter Ines Sainz.
Sainz, working with one of the most popular Mexican TV networks, was at the Jets camp Saturday to interview quarterback Mark Sanchez.
According to the New York Post, Sainz claims Ryan and assistant coach Dennis Thurman overthrew passes so they would land near her. The Post also says Jets players allegedly hooted and hollered with Sainz walked in the locker room.
Sainz, former Miss Spain, tweeted that she was "dying of embarrassment" according the Post.
Sainz, being her own Monday morning quarterback, addressed the concerns in an interview with a TV Azteca reporter, saying while she was embarrassed, she didn't realize it was going to become that big of a deal.
Sainz told her colleague that she did notice that footballs were being thrown her way but, "to be quite honest, it didn't bother me… I took it as a joke, and none of the footballs actually hit me."
"It was definitely a joking tone, very amicable," Sainz said, regarding the tone Sanchez had with her. "I wasn't offended."
But she did say in the interview that she didn't hear everything said about her - and apparently several other members of the media took the interactions much more seriously. She added perhaps they heard something she hadn't.
"I was surprised to wake up on Sunday and have a call from the NFL , saying that they wanted to talk to me about what had happened at the Jets; and I asked… what happened?" Sainz told TV Azteca. "And they said well there is a pretty powerful accusation of harassment and then it was at that point I realized the magnitude of what had happened. "
The NFL says it's investigating and The Association for Women in Sports Media says the Jets and the league have been responsive to their concerns. They also say on their website that they plan to hold an educational session for the Jets this week or next.
The Jets are one of the favorites to go the Super Bowl this season, but the New York Daily News's Gary Myers looks at how this incident could derail the team if they're not careful.
Thank you, I have recently been searching for info approximately this subject for a long time and yours is the greatest I have discovered so far. But, what concerning the conclusion? Are you positive concerning the supply?
@ Hank.. lmao! I agree with you bro! You bring a gorgeous woman to a locker room or whatever filled with men.. they will tease and play. SHE OR ANY OTHER WOMEM...SHOULD EXPECT THAT! Is it right..NO! But they're just teasing or horsing around. Now.. if these men actually used profanity or worse physically touched her...that's a whole different story!
stupid azz, you must be a fat dude that expect your wife to cook and you are sitting down farting... wake up !!!!
Regardless, it's pretty stupid to harass a reporter. There's no way you're going to escape getting bad press out of it. Good to see she had a sense of humor about it though... being an attractive female reporter in sports, you have to expect a certain amount of joking.
I should add, I'm not saying that she's the only one at fault. I absolutely do not agree with the "team" messing around with her, but she could have dressed/acted differently to prevent it. I mean, come on, yes, she's pretty – but she should have seen this coming.
since when does what someone wears make it okay to harrass them?
yeah, her ankles were showing, lets stone the infidel!
oh sure blame the person for what they wear, not the millionaires acting like boys
How do you level harassment charges when the alledged 'victem' says "It was definitely a joking tone, very amicable," Sainz said, regarding the tone Sanchez had with her. "I wasn't offended."
Some people need to stop worrying so much about other people and sticking their nose into something to just make noise.
If nothing more than what is reported here happened, it isn't really harassment. It's joking, which should be expected (as has been stated), especially with an attractive woman. If they said more behind her back... it still isn't harassment, as it wasn't directed AT her. Inappropriate, maybe, but not harassment. If they did things that she's not talking about, then she needs to talk about them. Otherwise, someone in the media is playing the PC tune too loud and needs to be fired.
Reporters and all news people are NOT your friends.It's best to ignore them and say nothing to them.
Monica L – you're right – this is NOT Central AMerica. BUT when an American woman goes to the middle east she covers her head because to be an international person you must understand and adapt to other cultures. I might add it seems okay these days for women to wear whatever they want into the workplace – low cut tops, extra short skirts. And men can't say anything and must act accordingly.
Just because someone does not dress as you judge to be appropriate, does not give others the right to harrass them. Should she cover herself head to toe in order to avoid the ignorance of others? Last I checked, this was still the USA where women have a right to dress as they see fit. That NEVER gives others the right to be abusive!!

Let us just suppose for a few moments that the original three episodes of the 'little known' space saga by the name of Star Wars did not exist so that we could be able to concentrate and focus on the other aspects of the films. However, the original trilogy, was, is and will always be cherished, treasured and loved by the millions and billions of its huge base of fans scattered all over the globe.
It doesn't matter who your favorite character might be, or even if you are inclined towards Star Trek, you are sure to admit that the garbage bin shaped little metal midget, and popular as the R2D2 is one of the most loved and acknowledged characters in the history of science fiction. The little creature, which has the capability to stream video messages just by using its tiny eyeballs, that has the enormous strength to hold anything, including a spacecraft, and so much more is something that makes. And that is one of the reasons why the Limited Edition R2D2 Motorola Unlocked Droid 2 for Verizon Wireless will, by all probability be one of the most impressive and headline making device that will be released in all of the year 2010.
However, no details are available as of now about the exact date of its release or how much this little gem of a device will be priced at, but sources close to the company reveal that phone will not cost more than the usual $200 for the two year contract, albeit after a discount of $100, not that it would matter too much because even if it cost a bucket load of cash, there are plenty of geeks obsessed with Star Wars who would go to any extent to get their hands on anything even remotely associated with it.

It's time for New Year's Resolutions. Mine is the same every year: "I'll make no silly promises to myself about correcting any of my supposed shortcomings."
That settled, I offer the following New Year's Resolutions for readers investing for retirement.
1) Spend less and save more
You alone are responsible for accumulating enough assets to retire at the time and in the lifestyle of your choosing. Make the resolution to have a positive cash flow every year. Track your expenses and create a budget that will allocate 10% - 15% of income to savings and investing.
The days that you can expect the stock market to do the heavy lifting for you are over. Make deferred gratification your new best friend. Your retirement lifestyle will be determined primarily by how much you save and invest during your accumulation years.
2) Manage your debt
Consumer and credit card debt is a drag on your financial life. With today's low interest rates, once you have funded an emergency fund, pay off non-mortgage debt. Paying off non-deductible debt is the equivalent of buying a risk-free, tax-free bond that yields the interest rate of the debt.
If you're planning on staying in your current home for the foreseeable future, the best inflation hedge you can buy today is a sub-4% 30-year mortgage.
3) Fund your 401(k)
The easiest way to save for retirement is a 401(k) salary deferral. If you're in the 25% marginal tax bracket, a 401(k) contribution yields an instant 33% rate of return. The earlier you start the better because you'll be maximizing the benefits of compounding growth.
4) Ignore all market predictions for 2013
Yogi Berra said it best, "Making predictions is difficult, especially about the future."
The only thing that moves markets away from current prices is unexpected news. Nobody can see unexpected events any better than you can. All the blathering is done to get you to tune in or make a trade.
5) Don't follow the market on a daily basis
Short-term market movements are irrelevant to the long term investor. Stock market volatility in recent years has frightened many investors, causing them to shun stocks. This is a mistake. Most won't retire before the Great Recession is nothing more than a notch on a timeline of things long forgotten.
The omnipresent 24/7 financial media wants you to stay anxious and keep tuning in. If you must look I suggest that you take a peek on Fridays. It'll save you four needless emotional reactions each week.
