Pennsylvania Supreme Court opening could empower Senate Democrats
HARRISBURG — Senate Democrats, largely shut out of budget talks the past two years, may enter budget season with clout.
The minority party has something Republican Gov. Tom Corbett needs: votes for a Supreme Court nominee.
Republicans control the Senate 27-23. A nominee for the high court would need 34 votes for confirmation, two-thirds rather than a simple majority.
"It is clear that only a bipartisan process will result in the smooth and expeditious confirmation of a new justice," said Sen. Daylin Leach, D-Montgomery County.
Leach on Thursday suggested Corbett choose from among five Republican judges to avoid a protracted, negative political debate.
"Given the political climate in the state … it would be easy for the process to quickly deteriorate into partisan bickering and stalemate," said Leach, whose list included Superior Court President Judge Correale Stevens and Delaware County Judge Kathrynann Durham, both former GOP lawmakers.
A seat on the high court will open next month when suspended Justice Joan Orie Melvin is sentenced May 7 for theft and related charges. Melvin has said she will resign May 1.
Corbett has said he plans to nominate an interim justice within 90 days of Melvin's resignation. A confirmed interim justice would serve until voters elect someone in 2015 to a full 10-year term. Corbett could delay the appointment until after the budget season.
With their own ideas about crafting a budget, a robust transportation plan and expanding Medicaid, Democrats could influence major issues before lawmakers' summer recess after June 30, said G. Terry Madonna, a political science professor at Franklin & Marshall College. It takes 26 votes to pass a bill in the Senate.
"The Republicans can't lose two votes. If they do, they can't pass a budget," Madonna said. "They can only lose one."
"We think the issues stand on their own," Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa, D-Forest Hills, said Thursday. "We may never get to a Supreme Court justice before June 30th. We may not be able to reach a consensus."
Senate Democrats have a "clear purpose," Costa said — jump-starting the economy and money for public education.
He and other Senate Democrats say creating jobs, strengthening social services and modernizing the state liquor system are important. Corbett has proposed liquor store divestiture and privatization.
Other pending appointments that interest Senate Democrats: seats on the Liquor Control Board, the Turnpike Commission and the Public Utility Commission.
Corbett's "hope is his nominee for the Supreme Court will be an up-or-down vote on the merits of the nomination, not on other issues," said spokesman Kevin Harley.
Chief Justice Ronald Castille has said the six justices could appoint someone to fill the seventh seat, although that appears unlikely. That would not require Senate confirmation.
Legal experts expect Corbett to act swiftly.
"There have been too many 3-to-3 ties. We need a full bench," said John Burkoff, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh law school.
"Without any inside information whatever, my impression of Gov. Corbett is that he is a pretty straightforward guy," said Duquesne University law school professor Bruce Ledewitz. "So I believe, out of concern that the court has already been crippled for too long, he will act in an expedited fashion."

Email marketing has brought revolution in the field of digital marketing. Not only it can be arranged and targeted to integrity, but it is more economical than most other types of direct marketing, making it reachable to many more organizations. Most of the marketers make use of behavioral targeting to make their promotion more significant and less irritating to a broad range of customers.
Have you always been amazed to observe how you get advertisement suggestions upon the topics you have recently researched online for, exactly when you were anticipating them less? There is no contradiction that behavioral targeting for email is one of the most prevailing types of marketing on the web. Regardless of the modifications and developments in how it is performed, being capable of collecting email addresses from your customers and then contacting them sporadically to keep your business at the top of their mind is extremely significant.
Checking statistical information on the behavior of website users' permits developing customized campaigns that will truly be helpful to those they deal with. It may appear as an attribute available only to web marketers, but it can be effectively used by email marketers as well.
In fact, behavioral targeting is not just for web promotion. Now it can be employed by email marketers as a technique for rented opt-in email lists. Making use of behavioral targeting with email is a great idea. Actually, it is something that good and efficient email marketers have been using it for many years. It helps in understanding that the tricks within an email are good hints to the kinds of offers that would be helpful to deliver in a consequent message. In reality, email marketers used behavioral targeting even before other online advertisers did.
Behavioral targeting approaches to customers when they are involved in relevant messaging to increase their engagement levels, develop brand reliability, timely interaction and improve email marketing ROI. Behaviorally activated or drip email marketing campaigns, like reminders, replacement, birthday alliances and welcome series, can be made to set up automatically based on customer behavior so your message went to customers at the time they are more probable to communicate.
These attempts may charge you extra, but they are constrained to enhance your return on investment. As a result, you should start with all the reasons why an email marketing campaign must be used in connection with behavioral targeting.
You can take your behaviorally targeted e-mail campaign even further by customizing and modifying the complete email and web site experience with arithmetical modeling. The same identification tags which assisted you in creating subdivided lists can activate A/B and multivariate tests that help in further modifying your targeting and customization. Through testing and optimizing your email marketing campaign, you can successfully reach out to complicated statistical reports that work on both e-mail and on your website, and drive customers towards their next buy.
Therefore, you can also try to implement behavioral targeting for increasing your list of customers and then implement it with the present list. Or else you can do things the other way round, employ it to distinguish how you can revive the interest of your old customers and then use the email marketing techniques to draw new customers.

The Tech Trek program at Stanford was the first AAUW-CA Tech Trek Program. It was established in 1998.
In 2008 we added a second week to the Stanford campus. The two weeks are named Camp Marie Curie and Camp Grace Hopper; Camp Marie Curie is run by Co-Directors Pat Ivester and Kea Jolicoeur, email@example.com, and Camp Grace Hopper is run by Melinda Moir and Maureen Buchner, email@example.com.
In 1884, Leland Stanford, Jr. the only son of Leland Stanford, Sr., contracted typhoid fever while traveling with his parents and died a few weeks before his sixteenth birthday. The next day, Leland Sr. turned to his wife and said, "The children of California shall be our children." Thus was born the idea for a great university, named in honor of Leland Stanford, Jr. It opened its doors in 1891 on almost 2000 acres of land from the senior Stanford's stock farm near Palo Alto. Today, it still bears the nickname, "The Farm."
After Stanford's death in 1893, the job of establishing the University fell to his wife, Jane Lathrop Stanford. With her husband's estate in probate and money scarce, Mrs. Stanford used proceeds from the sale of much of her jewelry and a long forgotten $10,000 life insurance policy on her husband to help the University get by. When the estate was finally released from probate, Mrs. Stanford turned $11 million over to the University.
Today, Stanford University is a world class institution with a long list of award winners among its faculty, including 18 Nobel laureates currently on campus, and a former U.S. President among its graduates.

Governor Lingle Vetoes Civil Union Bill in Hawaii
"Rejecting the Will of the Legislature and Turning Her Back on Committed Same-Sex Couples"
For Immediate Release: July 6, 2010
Press Contact:
Sean Eldridge
Director of Communications, Freedom to Marry
New York, New York
Statement from Evan Wolfson, Executive Director of Freedom to Marry, the leading campaign to win marriage equality nationwide, on Governor Lingle's decision to veto the civil union bill in Hawaii:
"In the 1990s, Hawaii began the ongoing international movement toward ending gay couples' exclusion from marriage and was the first U.S. state to create a legal status to provide some state-level recognition and protections for same-sex couples. In the historic Baehr case, the Hawaii Supreme Court acknowledged a constitutional mandate to treat same-sex couples equally. Governor Lingle's decision to veto the civil union bill is deeply disappointing and unnecessarily delays Hawaii's journey toward fairness and equality. Governor Lingle has rejected the will of the state legislature and the advice of countless business and faith leaders and turned her back on the committed couples and Hawaii kin who have expressed their support for this measure. Freedom to Marry urges the Hawaii state legislature to overrule Governor Lingle's veto and take an important step toward fairness and equal protection for same-sex couples in Hawaii."
Freedom to Marry is the leading campaign working to win marriage nationwide. We partner with organizations and supporters across the country to end the exclusion of same-sex couples from the responsibilities, protections, and commitment of marriage.

When war erupted between the United States and Spain at the turn of the 19th century, President William McKinley knew establishing communication with Cuban insurgents could be decisive to victory. But with the rebel General Garcia hiding in the expansive Cuban mountains, how would he reach him when a telegraph and courier could not?
McKinley turned to a young military officer after being advised of a "fellow by the name of Rowan who will find Garcia for you, if anybody can." Upon receiving his mission, Rowan left for Cuba, with the President's letter in tow, in search of the generalísimo.
Three weeks later he emerged, having successfully delivered the message to Garcia.
Elbert Hubbard's classic, A Message to Garcia, has been read for decades by Annapolis midshipmen and West Point cadets because it's a testament to the power of initiative. It shows the significance of a leader's ability to identify and inspire, and most of all, trust others to independently execute on a mission.
Many entrepreneurs share Rowan's initiative and drive. They love obstacles, solving problems and working until they succeed (or die trying). But how many identify, inspire, and trust others to do the job? That's the difference between a start-up founder and someone leading a viable business.
Our experience building Rocket Lawyer has been like transitioning from a one-man band into an orchestra with a conductor. At first, the founder (me) played much of the music. But over time, the only way to perform a symphony was for the leader to put down his trumpet, step away from the orchestra and conduct, giving individual performers both the guidance and space to bring their talents together.
It takes time and commitment to go all in on team building. So a good first step is to write down your mission. (At Rocket Lawyer, ours is to make the law affordable and simple.) Next, you should write down the key individual qualities, like initiative, that you're certain will help you succeed. Critically evaluate everyone on your team against these criteria, strive to mentor and develop them, and only hire those who fit the bill.
Finding the right team is really a prerequisite to transitioning from founder to leader. Without such a team, you can't achieve the force multiplier of capable colleagues. Both Walter Isaacson's biography, Steve Jobs, and Brad Stone's book on Amazon, The Everything Store, outline this in detail.
Both founders identified and managed teams that deliver stunning results. People like Tim Cook, Jony Ive, Joy Covey, Jeff Wilke and many others have exceeded the founder's expectations (and individual capacity) by taking Apple and Amazon farther than they deemed possible.
At about 200 people, Rocket Lawyer is still relatively new to its journey. Our senior team of Dan Nye, Monique Moore, Paul Hollerbach, David Baga, An Tran and Courtney O'Connell constantly refines how we work together to deliver the legal service our customers need.
So what is the path from start-up founder to leader? Not that far from the route between the unknown and the Cuban mountains that Rowan traversed. To go from founder to leader, find, inspire, and promote those people who, when given a "letter for Garcia," can figure out how to deliver it all by themselves.

People aren't numbers on a scale. We're more complex than that.
Hitting a target number won't cure obesity. If we aren't emotionally ready for weight loss, we might gain it all back.
Experts say we need to understand ourselves and our actions before we can address obesity. We need to assess our mood before, during and after meals. We need to relearn to rely on our bodies for hunger cues.
And finally, we need to strive to be healthy no matter what the scale says.
But the battle against obesity is fought by communities, too, from corporations to governmental agencies to nonprofit groups. And the solutions, whether grand or modest, aren't easy.
· York County is among the most obese areas in the state, and it's costing us.
How we get fat
· Follow the fastnacht from food in your mouth to fat on your body.
· Doctor: Those over 50 are disproportionately obese.
Why we get fat
· Emotions, behavior, cultural cues -- and your brain -- play a big role.
History of food
· As production of food in the US grew, so did we.
How we can get healthy
· One local family tries to overcome obesity.
· Portion sizes: What restaurants serve vs. what we really need.
What other counties do
· Portion sizes: Chester is among the state's healthiest. How does it differ from York?
· Small steps and big dreams: Experts offer tips and wish lists to help our community.
· Obesity battle can be a mind game with food.

If you could wave your hand and change one thing in York County that would help people lose weight, what would it be?
---Dr. F. Michael Gloth III said everyone would have activities that are more accessible. They would have opportunities to exercise and something that increases the pleasure of the activity.
--- Kevin Alvarnaz said that in Europe, where obesity is less of a problem, fewer people drive, and almost everyone has to do some walking in their day, either around town or to a public transportation system. York County, like many places in America, is designed to allow people to drive from place to place while taking as few steps as possible.
"We need to start thinking about how we design our communities. We design them so it makes walking and biking and being outdoors difficult.
"How do we connect the Rail Trail, which goes through a significant part of York County, to businesses or to downtown York. Once you get to downtown, you see lots of no-biking signs."
--- Mark Fenton: He visited York in June to assess the city and brainstorm less-traditional ways to encourage physical activity and healthier lifestyles. He said the area should create a joint city/county government that would encourage development in the city while rewarding land owners who protect farmland and open space outside the city.
"The goal is to generate more residential and mixed-use development in the city core, across a range of incomes, while reducing the incentives for people to plow farmland into more housing subdivisions and big box stores with massive parking lots. There are real tools being used by communities around the country that really do have this effect. It should sound like economic development policy -- which it is -- but done right, it will also create a more sustainable healthy community in the long run."
--- Dave Heltzel: "York County is just loaded with all kinds of snack food industries, and it's loaded with a heritage that doesn't necessarily fit well with fitness. Start early. Start at the beginning. There's a lot of good food, but the food is developed from German heritage, which is not necessarily healthy for you. Somehow, find a more healthy cultural methodology from raising your child at day one."
Name one achievable, moderate societal goal that would help people in York County lose weight.
--- Gloth suggested starting programs within the community, increasing the safe bike lanes available, increasing the opportunities in recreational facilities. He said the county has to decide: Where do we get our best bang for our buck? Where are we most likely to make an impact?
--- Alvarnez said school districts and businesses should look at policies adopted by other organizations -- fresh food programs in school lunches or businesses giving employees an extra half-hour to walk during their lunch break -- and see how they could implement them.
Reasonable and realistic alternative programs exist, he said. The key for a company or school is to take one step, and write it into their policy so it sticks.
---Fenton: "Pass a Complete Streets policy for the county which requires consideration of all four travel modes -- pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and motor vehicle -- during any new construction, upgrades or routine maintenance on any and all roadways.
You can look at www.completestreets.org for examples of communities and even states that are passing such ordinances and updating their roadway design standards to create healthier roads that are safe for walking and bicycling, not just driving."
--- Heltzel: "Take one night a week, turn off the TV, and walk around the block. I think the most simplistic model is going to be the most effective model."
Name one personal concrete thing that any individual could do to help lose weight and be healthier.
--- Gloth said people have to decide that they're going to improve things. ... individuals can start leagues or just pick a partner with whom to exercise, or, if you have a family, go out and do an activity once a week. A physical activity. On that night, eat no junk food, just healthy food. Get everybody in the family programmed to understand that this is an important thing.
--- Alvarnez said people should plan meals more to get away from processed food. One idea is to make double portions and freeze half for later.
Or start a co-op with your family or neighbors, where everyone is responsible for making one or two large meals a week, and then trading the freezable leftovers with the co-op.
People can also be more active, and that doesn't necessarily mean joining a gym. Go walk for half an hour. Toss a Frisbee. Do push-ups or jog in place while during commercial breaks, he said.
Doing something is significantly better than doing nothing.
--- Fenton: "Show up to at least one public meeting on an important issue of community design or planning and speak up in favor of creating a more walkable, bicycle- and transit-friendly community with healthier food choices. Urge city council to provide more support to transit; testify at a planning commission meeting to make sure that they require quality sidewalks in new subdivisions or redevelopment projects. Go to a neighborhood association meeting to support the creation of a neighborhood food co-operative that will get fresh fruits and vegetables into a neighborhood without a grocery store."
--- Heltzel: "Walking. It's so simple to do. It doesn't even have to be a brisk walk. It's the fact that you're putting one foot in front of the other, and you're moving -- ending a sedentary lifestyle and making that first step toward a better you."

updated 05:40 pm EST, Wed February 28, 2007
Congress 'Fair Use' bill
Congressional representatives Rich Boucher (D-VA) and John Dolittle (R-CA) today introduced the "Freedom and Innovation Revitalizing US Entrepreneurship" Act, shortened in acronym to FAIR USE. According to the Washington Post, the bill would amend the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), currently used by groups like the MPAA and RIAA to attack piracy.
Boucher and Dolittle argue that the DMCA reaches too far. "The Digital Millennium Copyright Act dramatically tilted the copyright balance toward complete copyright protection at the expense of the public's right to fair use," Boucher says. "Without a change in the law, individuals will be less willing to purchase digital media if their use of the media within the home is severely circumscribed and the manufacturers of equipment and software that enables circumvention for legitimate purposes will be reluctant to introduce the products into the market." The bill is backed by the Consumer Electronics Association.
The RIAA is strongly opposed to FAIR USE, notes PC World. In a statement, the RIAA says the bill would effectively repeal the DMCA, and "allow electronics companies to induce others to break the law for their own profit." Moreover, the group suggests that digital sales of books, games, music and movies would be impossible had the DMCA not been a safeguard. "The difference between hacking done for non-infringing purposes and hacking done to steal is impossible to determine and enforce."

2012 Olympics: a mixed record so far on environmental issues
Article taken from the Financial Times. To view article,

When London bid to host the 2012 Olympics, it put sustainability at the core of its pitch. Its winning concept, "Towards a One Planet Olympics", was based on the notion that if the entire world's population lived a typical British lifestyle people would require the resources of three planets.
It was on the back of this idea that London pledged to stage the greenest games in history. Back in 2005, that pledge loosely translated into making the games carbon neutral.
Since no industrial operation can ever be entirely emissions-free, the term is largely synonymous with carbon offsetting - when an organisation funds an environmental scheme, generally in a developing nation, to counteract the emissions resulting from its operations. Over the past few years, however, offsetting has attracted a growing number of critics who say that pay-to-pollute schemes have little real impact on emissions levels and fail to discourage rich nations from cleaning up their acts.
"Offsetting is a false solution," says Robin Webster of environmental lobby group Friends of the Earth. "The focus needs to be on emissions reduction, both in the UK and abroad, rather than playing one country off another." Such criticisms have spurred demand for certified offsets, which demonstrate that real emissions reductions have taken place. One of the most widely recognised certification is the Gold Standard.
Partially as a result of this shift in attitude, Olympics officials have now distanced themselves from the concept of carbon neutrality, opting instead, in their words, to "reduce" and "mitigate" the carbon footprint of the games. However, they are considering offsetting some elements of the event, such as flights, through Gold Standard projects.
In spite of this change in attitude, the Olympic Flame will still be carbon-neutral, although EDF, the primary energy provider to the games, says this is a symbolic gesture.
Under its sponsorship agreement, EDF will provide 24MW of energy to the games, all of which will come from renewable sources, such as wind power. To put this figure into perspective, 24MW is only a single megawatt more than is needed to power a single square km of Central London. London, however, does have the highest load density in Europe.
If the Olympics uses less than the agreed amount of energy, EDF will keep half the savings. If the games use more, however, authorities will be subject to "open-book" pricing - the prevailing electricity price on the open market, rather than a previously-agreed rate, which would probably be much lower.
"London is under a lot of pressure to control costs so if it runs short on renewable energy, it could face some tough decisions," says Cindy Cahill of consultancy Deloitte, one of the advisers to the games. "The credit crisis means it has been more difficult to get the same level of sponsorship than would have been available previously, so paying a premium for green energy versus cheaper fossil fuels is not going to be an easy choice."
David Stubbs of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (Locog) says it is impossible to predict at this stage how much energy will be needed during the event. "Our first objective is to get a handle on our climate impact and then work out how to avoid our emissions," he says.
According to a recent estimate, the games will produce 3.4m tonnes of CO2. This compares with total annual UK emissions of around 550m tonnes.
It is hard to say if this is good or bad; because London has never staged an event on this scale, it has no point of reference from which to benchmark the environmental impact of the games. Information from previous host cities is only partially reliable, because the post-games environmental records of recent hosts such as Beijing, Athens and Sydney vary considerably.
Until now, no city has attempted to track all the energy embedded in hosting an Olympics, from the construction materials used to build the Olympic venues, to the transport of athletes and spectators.
So far, London's scorecard is mixed, according to Shaun McCarthy, chair of the Commission for a Sustainable London 2012, the independent body charged with monitoring the environmental impact of the games.
The commission's latest report praised London's target to reuse or recycle 90 per cent of construction waste, particularly as more than half the CO2 emissions associated with the games are embodied in the construction process.
The commission has also lauded plans for an on-site combined cooling, heating and power plant, which will be 30 per cent more efficient than a traditional generator. The plant will include biomass boilers and have the capacity to switch from natural gas to other low-carbon and renewable fuel sources.
However, Mr McCarthy says games officials are lagging in the search for alternative biogas energy sources. "There's a whole range of technologies available that would provide a low or zero carbon source of power, but there's been confusion over who is accountable," he says. "I'm getting a bit impatient now. The fact is we first made this recommendation two years ago and it still hasn't happened."
He adds that London has the added challenge of living up to a milestone year on the environmental calendar.
Domestically, 2012 is significant because it marks the final year of Britain's first carbon budget. The budget commits the UK to legally binding emissions cuts, so London's failure to stage a low-carbon Olympics would prove highly embarrassing. It is also the year the 1997 Kyoto treaty on climate change expires. Provided a successor is agreed, 2012 will usher in a new era of solutions to tackle global warming. The long-anticipated Earth Summit also takes place in 2012.
"It's an important year for the environment so London has a real opportunity to show the world what Britain is capable of achieving," says Mr McCarthy. "Our recommendations are a matter of urgency now, because time is short. It would be a travesty if we couldn't meet our 2012 goals."

Get back to work
...and another thing!
I am ashamed of our leaders in Washington: Obama, Boehner, every senator and every representative. They should all be impeached, recalled, fired or sent to the gallows for going on vacation a week before the U.S. hits the "Economic Wall"! The Capitol Police should empty their offices, put their stuff on the curb and padlock the doors while they are gone. What a bunch of woosies. Eisenhower didn't run away from D-Day, Hoover faced the Wall Street crash, even Nixon didn't run away from Watergate.
Iraq made the U.S. the laughing stock of the world and this is not helping our case. Hopefully by the time this gets published on Saturday, our government will have come to its senses!
...this is ridiculous, stop it already!

Roundabout rules
Roundabouts are here to stay, most of us, especially senior citizens, aren't happy with them, but there numbers are going to increase. When you're approaching a roundabout, you must slow down and yield to traffic from your left. If there aren't any vehicles coming from your left, don't stop! Roundabouts are designed to safely speed-up traffic. The biggest problem people have with roundabouts is fear. Don't be afraid. Just follow the rules and plan ahead. If you want to turn right, take the first exit. If you want to go straight, take the second exit. A left turn is the third. Personally I've spent more years driving without roundabouts than I have with them, and there's only one directive that I'm aware of: Stop only to yield to traffic from your left... Please drive safely.

Cliffhanger ending
People need to use some logic regarding this so-called "fiscal cliff." Fact is, neither Republicans nor Democrats are going to risk letting our country fall into another recession, but also, neither side is going to appear weak by compromising too soon. The result is this sideshow Washington circus, hyped by the media, with us filling the spectator seats yelling and screaming as though what we're seeing is real.
No lawmaker wants to lose his job or the perks that go with it. Illusion is necessary. I just wish there was popcorn and more comfortable seats.

Armed America
Wayne LaPierre, CEO of the NRA, one of the biggest gun lobbyists, says we should have an armed officer in every school. There was an armed officer at Columbine, and we know how well that worked. Wayne wanted to say, every child from preschool to college should be able to bring a gun to school. Maybe the schools can hand them out when the student arrives. According to Wayne, more guns make you safe. America should be the safest place in the world. We have more guns than any other country and more gun deaths. I'm not proud to be No. 1 in gun deaths.

Happy New Year's
On Jan. 1, 2013, income earners less than $250,000 will be liable to the first of the Obama tax increases. The elimination of the Bush tax cuts will be followed by an increase in Medicare payroll taxes; a cap on flexible spending accounts for families with "special" needs kids; a 2.3 percent cost increase on medical-device manufacturers; an increase of medical-itemized deductions from 7.5 percent to 10 percent of gross domestic product; and the Internal Revenue Service has been given power to disallow any deduction that lacks "substance."
Also in 2013, insurance exchanges begin enrollment, and the federal government will battle state governments to expand Medicaid, and, additionally, to fund this massive health care bureaucracy with more taxes. Kathleen Sebelius (HHS) has power to regulate any health program and determine payments to doctors, hospitals and health services. Higher income earners have a succession of higher taxes, which will stifle business, increase unemployment and drop the stock market.
Enjoy 2013, 2014 is worse.

NYPD officer saves a dozen from house fire
By Michael Frazier
NEW YORK — With flames engulfing the Bronx home yesterday morning, New York police officers Christopher Scott and Michael Welsh couldn't wait for firefighters.
So they rushed into the 2 1/2-story house to help lead residents to safety.
Minutes later, the officers had to brave flames for a second time when the fire spread to a neighboring house.
"We were hoping that would've been there but they weren't," said Scott, who suffered scalp burns when embers fell on his head as he was coming out of the first fire. "So we went right back in."
The officers, both 14-year veterans, were on routine patrol when they spotted the flames and black smoke pouring out of the first home. They ran inside, searching for anyone on the upper floors.
Many of the residents had already made their way out of the home, Welsh said.
But the officers helped lead seven people out, including a mother holding her 2-month-old baby.
Once outside, and without a moment to catch a breath, Scott and Welsh saw the flames had spread to the second house. A tenant of that home opened the door for them and the officers ran inside.
The officers checked all three floors of the home and helped five people escape.
"We made sure no one was in there," Welsh said.
Flames first broke out about 9:15 a.m. on the second floor of a home at 374 Bronx Park Ave. in the West Farms section, fire officials said. The blaze then spread to a home at 376 Bronx Park Ave.
Firefighters arrived minutes after Scott and Welsh ran through the homes. The officers shouted for anyone home to escape. They banged on doors and kicked some open.
About 106 firefighters responded and the fires were brought under control in about an hour, fire officials said.
The cause of the fire hasn't been determined.
Seven firefighters and one resident were taken to Jacobi Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries.
Scott was treated and released from St. Barnabas Hospital. His partner was uninjured.
It was unclear how many people lived in the two residences, which housed apartment units.
Police said two families were receiving services from the New York branch of the American Red Cross.

Michigan point guard Trey Burke talks with reporters after a pre-draft workout at the Sacramento Kings practice facility in Sacramento, Calif., on June 7, 2013. / Associated Press
Trey Burke is considered Michigan basketballs most dominant force since Chris Webber a separation of 20 years.
Despite that, the two players, one an NBA draft lottery hopeful and another a former NBA star and current TV analyst, have yet to talk in person. Burke indicated he wouldnt mind that changing sometime soon.
Ive never talked to him personally, Burke told Sacramento Kings blog CowbellKingdom.com. I know if I was to see him, we would have a great relationship, great conversation.
After starring in Michigans Fab Five from 1991-93, Webber went on to become a star for the Kings from 1998-2005. This year, the Kings have the No. 7 pick in the draft and could use a point guard like Burke.
Burke and Webber did (somewhat) cross paths during the NCAA championship game vs. Louisville in April; Webber, despite a 10-year disassociation from the University of Michigan that ended a month later, attended the game via a private suite.
It was great to see him at the national championship game, Burke told CowbellKingdom.com. And Im sure Ill see him soon and be able to get some insight on the league and next level.

51 U.S. Code § 20135 - Property rights in inventions
prev | next
(a) Definitions.— In this section:
(1) Contract.— The term "contract" means any actual or proposed contract, agreement, understanding, or other arrangement, and includes any assignment, substitution of parties, or subcontract executed or entered into thereunder.
(2) Made.— The term "made", when used in relation to any invention, means the conception or first actual reduction to practice of such invention.
(b) Exclusive Property of United States.—
(1) In general.— An invention shall be the exclusive property of the United States if it is made in the performance of any work under any contract of the Administration, and the Administrator determines that—
(A) the person who made the invention was employed or assigned to perform research, development, or exploration work and the invention is related to the work the person was employed or assigned to perform, or was within the scope of the person's employment duties, whether or not it was made during working hours, or with a contribution by the Government of the use of Government facilities, equipment, materials, allocated funds, information proprietary to the Government, or services of Government employees during working hours; or
(B) the person who made the invention was not employed or assigned to perform research, development, or exploration work, but the invention is nevertheless related to the contract, or to the work or duties the person was employed or assigned to perform, and was made during working hours, or with a contribution from the Government of the sort referred to in subparagraph (A).
(2) Patent to united states.— If an invention is the exclusive property of the United States under paragraph (1), and if such invention is patentable, a patent therefor shall be issued to the United States upon application made by the Administrator, unless the Administrator waives all or any part of the rights of the United States to such invention in conformity with the provisions of subsection (g).
(c) Contract Provisions for Furnishing Reports of Inventions, Discoveries, Improvements, or Innovations.— Each contract entered into by the Administrator with any party for the performance of any work shall contain effective provisions under which the party shall furnish promptly to the Administrator a written report containing full and complete technical information concerning any invention, discovery, improvement, or innovation which may be made in the performance of any such work.
(d) Patent Application.— No patent may be issued to any applicant other than the Administrator for any invention which appears to the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (hereafter in this section referred to as the "Director") to have significant utility in the conduct of aeronautical and space activities unless the applicant files with the Director, with the application or within 30 days after request therefor by the Director, a written statement executed under oath setting forth the full facts concerning the circumstances under which the invention was made and stating the relationship (if any) of the invention to the performance of any work under any contract of the Administration. Copies of each such statement and the application to which it relates shall be transmitted forthwith by the Director to the Administrator.
(e) Issuance of Patent to Applicant.— Upon any application as to which any such statement has been transmitted to the Administrator, the Director may, if the invention is patentable, issue a patent to the applicant unless the Administrator, within 90 days after receipt of the application and statement, requests that the patent be issued to the Administrator on behalf of the United States. If, within such time, the Administrator files such a request with the Director, the Director shall transmit notice thereof to the applicant, and shall issue such patent to the Administrator unless the applicant within 30 days after receipt of the notice requests a hearing before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board on the question whether the Administrator is entitled under this section to receive the patent. The Board may hear and determine, in accordance with rules and procedures established for interference and derivation cases, the question so presented, and its determination shall be subject to appeal by the applicant or by the Administrator to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in accordance with procedures governing appeals from decisions of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board in other proceedings.
(f) Subsequent Transfer of Patent in Case of False Representations.— Whenever a patent has been issued to an applicant in conformity with subsection (e), and the Administrator thereafter has reason to believe that the statement filed by the applicant in connection with the patent contained a false representation of a material fact, the Administrator, within 5 years after the date of issuance of the patent, may file with the Director a request for the transfer to the Administrator of title to the patent on the records of the Director. Notice of any such request shall be transmitted by the Director to the owner of record of the patent, and title to the patent shall be so transferred to the Administrator unless, within 30 days after receipt of notice, the owner of record requests a hearing before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board on the question whether any such false representation was contained in the statement filed in connection with the patent. The question shall be heard and determined, and the determination shall be subject to review, in the manner prescribed by subsection (e) for questions arising thereunder. A request made by the Administrator under this subsection for the transfer of title to a patent, and prosecution for the violation of any criminal statute, shall not be barred by the failure of the Administrator to make a request under subsection (e) for the issuance of the patent to the Administrator, or by any notice previously given by the Administrator stating that the Administrator had no objection to the issuance of the patent to the applicant.
(g) Waiver of Rights to Inventions.— Under such regulations in conformity with this subsection as the Administrator shall prescribe, the Administrator may waive all or any part of the rights of the United States under this section with respect to any invention or class of inventions made or which may be made by any person or class of persons in the performance of any work required by any contract of the Administration if the Administrator determines that the interests of the United States will be served thereby. Any such waiver may be made upon such terms and under such conditions as the Administrator shall determine to be required for the protection of the interests of the United States. Each such waiver made with respect to any invention shall be subject to the reservation by the Administrator of an irrevocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable, royalty-free license for the practice of such invention throughout the world by or on behalf of the United States or any foreign government pursuant to any treaty or agreement with the United States. Each proposal for any waiver under this subsection shall be referred to an Inventions and Contributions Board which shall be established by the Administrator within the Administration. Such Board shall accord to each interested party an opportunity for hearing, and shall transmit to the Administrator its findings of fact with respect to such proposal and its recommendations for action to be taken with respect thereto.
(h) Protection of Title.— The Administrator is authorized to take all suitable and necessary steps to protect any invention or discovery to which the Administrator has title, and to require contractors or persons who retain title to inventions or discoveries under this section to protect the inventions or discoveries to which the Administration has or may acquire a license of use.
(i) Administration as Defense Agency.— The Administration shall be considered a defense agency of the United States for the purpose of chapter 17 of title 35.
(j) Objects Intended for Launch, Launched, or Assembled in Outer Space.— Any object intended for launch, launched, or assembled in outer space shall be considered a vehicle for the purpose of section 272 of title 35.
(k) Use or Manufacture of Patented Inventions Incorporated in Space Vehicles Launched for Persons Other Than United States.— The use or manufacture of any patented invention incorporated in a space vehicle launched by the United States Government for a person other than the United States shall not be considered to be a use or manufacture by or for the United States within the meaning of section 1498 (a) of title 28, unless the Administration gives an express authorization or consent for such use or manufacture.

Little Leaguers open season
The Villa Augustina team leads the Goffstown Junior Baseball Opening Day parade into the Villa fields. (David Suitor Photo)
When baseball fans think of opening day they think of iconic Fenway Park, giant flags draping the Green Monster, and chants of "Oh, oh, oh!" to Sweet Caroline. But Goffstown has its own opening day tradition.
Hundreds of youngsters and family members kicked off the junior baseball season with a parade through town to their home fields at Villa Augustina.
They assemble early, about 7:30 a.m., at Maple Avenue Elementary. At 8 a.m. sharp, they head down Elm, to Main and down Mast Road. There are just a few onlookers but the blaring sirens of the police cruiser and fire engine that leads the parade lets everyone know the parade is in progress.
This is the 54th year of Goffstown Junior Baseball, which includes several age and skill levels, along with the Little League team that represented Goffstown at the World Series in 2012.
The game and the teams are a big part of the community's identity.
"Goffstown takes pride in its baseball. It's a baseball community," said Jim Hujsak, president of Goffstown Junior Baseball. "Ask any communities around and they say Goffstown does a great job."
Ann Redman, whose son plays on a minor league team enjoys the event.
"It's a big parade and the kids enjoy the walk" said Redman. "It gives them the chance to say hello to the town."
Chris Nadeau's son plays for the Mast Road Lumber team. For him, the parade marks the start of spring. It's also a chance to see his boy play in Little League, just as he did.
"At tournament time, it's all people talk about," said Nadeau about the end of the season when the Goffstown team competes for a chance to go on to post-season play.
It's about a 2-mile walk from Maple Avenue School to the fields at Villa Augustina. Once they arrive, the teams assemble along the base paths decked out in their colorful uniforms. Friends and family are right behind them.
Jim Hujsak welcomes everyone to the opening ceremonies. It begins with acknowledgements and thanks to those who make the league possible.
Hujsak then introduces other officers of the Goffstown Junior Baseball. The American flag is raised in center field while young Alicia Edgar sings the national anthem.
A finicky wireless microphone starts to cut in and out during the anthem but everyone begins to sing along, helping Alicia finish.
The mothers of two 12-year-old players who will be too old to play next year throw simultaneous first pitches to their sons.
At last, two of the youngest players step to the microphone to deliver the Little League pledge.
"I trust in God, I love my country, and will respect its laws. I will play fair, and strive to win, but win or lose, I will always do my best."
With that, a hardy "Play ball!" was exclaimed. And they did for the rest of the day.

We had a marketing challenge at my work and the reward is $300. From the beginning I vowed that if I succeeded I would use my $300 on something superfluous. Far be it from me to call bourbon superfluous, but I do technically have plenty (15 bottles or so). Anyway, I don't regularly spend $300 on whiskey at once. Occasionally I might splurge and buy a $50-75 bottle, but thats about the max. So . . . .
Should I get one or two expensive bottles (PVW20, 23, Parker's Heritage (the 27yr was barreled in my birth year), etc) or spread it out a bit? I need to plan my strategy out beforehand so I don't make any panic purchases. Thoughts? Suggestions?

The calendar shows just four weeks remaining in the Iowa Legislature's 2013 session, but with all the year's top issues unresolved it's not hard to imagine lawmakers sticking around Des Moines a lot longer.
Democrats and Republicans alike have tagged education reform, property tax relief and an expansion of state-sponsored health care as their priorities this year, alongside perennial negotiations over the coming year's budget.
But lawmakers' progress on those issues in the 12 weeks since they convened the 85th General Assembly convened has been uneven and fraught with uncertainty. ...

I use this with no problem on a Triumph Tiger 800, Triumph Street Triple R and a Triumph Daytona 675R. The stand isnt the best example out there as the weld are a bit off, the tiny wheels tend to flat spot overnight and the cup of the arms is poorly machined and tends to eat up the underside of any bobbins Ive used. I usually hook the left arm in, lean into the bike with my chest and shoulder to stand it up and then peer down the opposing side to line up that hook. Once both bobbins are in the hooks/cups the bike stands pretty rigidly without me touching it (hand firmly on lift handle). Press down on the handle of the lift and the bike pops right into place. If the stability was 100% when new, then now after three years use, Id call 90% stable. It does seem that the flexing of the welds increases over time. Still, its not really enough to concern me as it still supports both the bikes and my weight. I powder coated the hooks and that stopped destroying bobbins! Speaking of bobbins... HF used to sell them, CHEAP! It was great because they were inexpensive and after a quick sandblast and powder coat they looked like any other NB bobbin. Bring em back HF! It would be great to be able to get the stand and the bobbins at the same place. Anyway, great stand... dont hesitate!

I thought for the price I was getting a steal. This item was light weight and super easy to install. Measured the spools up against my Ninja 650 without help was a snap. My issue is with just 3 uses I've noticed that the side near the kickstand is starting to bow. I'm not sure why since my bike is less than 500 lbs with a full tank of gas. That's why I'm a little disappointed. I may have to bite the bullet and get a made in America stand rather than something that bends after just a few uses.

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Pittsburgh Motorcycle Low Profile Rear Spool Motorcycle Stand:
Bought this because the box says you can get swingarm adapters. They are also shown in the online pics, but they are not available. Harbor Freight needs to update their data, like remove that picture online and the box. Really wanted this, I like how lightweight it is. Too bad I had to take it back.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Works well w/2014 Ninja 650

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
I went to my local store and I looked around for the stand. They had the Rear Swing Arm Stand model but not this model. I was thinking this maybe a stand I need to order online only. So I asked the cashier and she looked up the part, they had it, but not displayed. I took it home hoping I had all the parts inside. I did! I put it together with the (6)nuts & bolts. I had to loosen up the allen screws to slide the spool adaptor into place. At first I thought I bought the wrong spool because the stand's spool catcher was too small to fit. I finally realized I had to adjust catcher so it can catch the inner part of my spool. No problems. . .I was able to lift and use the stand all by myself. I moved my bike side to side and it felt firmly on the stand.

I have a 2001 SV650 and got this stand specifically for it. The stand itself is very light aluminum but surprisingly very well made, especially for a HF item. I use it for basic maintenance and leave it on there when not in use for long periods of time with no problems. Only thing I wish it had was an attachment to put under the spools instead of the hooks, but something can probably be made for it.

Great working stand! I use it for changing tires,oil and chain/sprocket work.Would not want to use for winter storage but I am over protective of my bike.

I bought this stand about three years ago with intensions of using it on my 09 stretched hayabusa but unfortunately it wouldn't do the job with the extensions on (my fault should have read dimensions) but it does work great for my wifes 900 so it worked out just fine her bike sits on the stand all winter long no problems what so ever when I need to move her bike around in storage I even leave it right on the stand lift the handle up a bit and push it around at first I was a little worried about it but now I have complete confidence in this little stand I also use it for my cbr 600 streetfighter ive even rigged up some attatchments and use it as a front stand definetly worth the $20 with discount Im just bummed I had to order another one for the busa. but great product for the money

Using it on my sport bike.I have looked at pit bull stands (all hype). I bought this HF stand just to see how well it was built. I did not like the cheap hardware, so I used better grade stainless hardware from my shop, aside of that simple preference . this stand is solid. Oddly enought Parkalgar honda racing team would use a similar rear stand. Google for pics.
