U.S. soccer team success kicks up local enthusiasm
By: Sena Christian, Gold Country News Service
Colfax teen has watched every game of World Cup
American soccer fans felt the dread set in as the U.S. women's team fell down 1 to 2 against Brazil during a World Cup quarterfinal match on Sunday. Only a few minutes remained in extra time — at the end of overtime — and a loss for the Americans looked imminent. Then, in a game that will likely go down in history as one of the most exciting World Cup matches ever, the U.S. team launched a comeback. They tied the Brazilians with a last-minute header goal by forward Abby Wambach and went on to win 5 to 3 in a penalty kick shootout. U.S. goalie Hope Solo made a brilliant save to secure the win. Today the team plays a semifinal game against France. In the other bracket, Japan competes against Sweden. Soccer fans in Placer County have been watching the drama unfold as the Americans vie for a third Cup title. "I've been watching the whole thing," said Kate Bianchi, a senior at Colfax High School and member of their soccer squad. "Whoever's playing, I've been watching." That includes the game when Japan upset host team and two-time defending champion Germany with a goal in the 108th minute. Bianchi was disappointed when England lost to France on penalties in a quarterfinal game. "My favorite game was definitely the U.S. against Brazil game," Bianchi said. "(But) it's so unfair when the ref has an influence over the game like that." The referee called a foul again U.S. defender Rachel Buehler in the penalty box and issued her a red card. Buehler had to leave the field, leaving the Americans down a player. Solo saved the resulting penalty kick, but the referee allowed Brazil to retake the kick — a controversial call to some. Kyle Howarth, who recently graduated from Granite Bay High School and played defense for their soccer team, watched the U.S. quarterfinal game. "I'd never really watched women's soccer," Howarth said. "It was a very exciting game. One of the most exciting soccer games I've ever seen with all the controversies and that last-second goal. I was entertained." Kayla Garcia, a senior at Colfax High School and soccer player, has watched several of the World Cup games but missed the U.S. versus Brazil game — and heard all about it from friends. "I think the U.S. has been playing pretty good," Garcia said. "Women's soccer doesn't get a lot of attention. We're a really good (team) but we haven't been put up on a pedestal like men's soccer has." Garcia, who plays a forward position, doesn't have a favorite player on this year's U.S. team. "When I was younger, I loved Mia Hamm," Garcia said of the superstar. "I was obsessed with her." Phil Rowe, communications director for the Eureka Youth Soccer Club in Granite Bay, watched the big quarterfinal match and commended the Americans for their positive sportsmanship and caliber of play. "That gave a good representation of the differences in sportsmanship you see and how we coach our players to act in games," Rowe said. The third-place World Cup game takes place Saturday and the final match commences Sunday. Will the U.S. team go on to win a Cup title for the first time since 1999? Soccer fans will soon find out.

PUTNAM COUNTY, Fla. -- Today a judge sentenced 58-year-old Daniel Snodgrass, a circus performer, to life in prison after he was found guilty of molestation and sexual battery charges.
Snodgrass was found guilty of tying a young girl under the age of 12 to his bed and sexually abusing her, according to a news release from the office of R.J. Larizza, State Attorney for the 7th Judicial Circuit of Florida.
A jury found Snodgrass guilty of sexual battery on a person less than 12 years of age, a capital felony, and two counts of lewd or lascivious molestation on a person under the age of 12, a life felony.
Once the jury returned the guilty verdicts, Circuit Judge Patti A. Christensen sentenced Snodgrass to life in prison, Larizza said.
Snodgrass is a circus performer, Larizza said, and used his profession to gain access and the trust of his young victim.
The victim said Snodgrass tied her to his bed and sexually battered her. During the trial, three other victims came forward and testified against Snodgrass. The victims, now adults, said Snodgrass had sexually molsted them when they were children, ranging in age from four to sixteen at the time they were molested.

SHEPPARD AIR FORCE BASE, Texas
-- Sheppard's Combat Dining Out will be held Sept. 28 at hangar 1045 beginning at 6 p.m. This year's theme is "Training Airmen to fly, fight and win" and features the Air Force Inspector General, Lt. Gen. Stephen P. Mueller, as the guest speaker.
"This year's theme encompasses the missions of both wings at Team Sheppard, highlighting each of the wings but emphasizing one team," said Major Robert Moore, Commander 82d Security Forces Squadron and Combat Dining Out lead.
A highly anticipated aspect of the dining out is the grog bowl. Violate one of the rules of engagement and you could find yourself facing the obstacle course to the grog bowl. There will be two separate grogs (one with and one without alcohol) and new this year is the grog mixing ceremony, in which each group commander and superintendent will add something that represents their group to each of the grog bowls.
Displays representing both the 82 TRW and the 80 FTW will be present, as well as several static aircraft including F-15s and F-16s.
Dress for the occasion is Airman Battle Uniforms or flight suits for military and business casual or combat dress for civilians.
For more information, contact your unit's POC. A list is available by clicking
Rules of Engagement:
1. Participants will know: The President is Always Right
2. Participants will enjoy themselves to the fullest extent allowed within military and civilian law
3. Military participants will wear Airman Battle Uniform or Flight Suit...the Area of Responsibility (AOR) is a no hat area
4. Civilian participants are encouraged to wear Business Casual or Combat Dress
5. Participants will only salute the Colors or when participating in the Grog ceremony
6. Participants will be inside AOR perimeter NLT 1800 hrs
7. Participants will make every effort to meet others
8. Participants will take part in all toasts
9. Participants will rise and stand fast when the President enters and exits the AOR
10. Participants will celebrate and express approval by pounding fists or other items on table. No clapping is allowed
11. Participants will not engage in physical warfare (pushing, hitting, gouging, etc)
12. Participants will not laugh at ridiculously funny comments unless the President first shows his approval by laughing
13. Participants will only use tobacco products in designated areas. To prevent position detection, violators and ignition source will be extinguished by any means available
14. Participants will not grieve the President by questioning any of the lawful orders proclaimed herein
15. Participants will adhere to all the rules enforced by the Sergeants at Arms and will not resist, lest they be removed from the mess
16. Participants will refer to rule #1 in the unlikely event the President makes an error
17. Participants are not authorized to use projectiles (i.e. dinner rolls, Nerf guns, water guns, water balloons, etc.)

howto config two security-constraints?

I'm trying to configure <security-constraints> for two levels of security (admin & user). Lots of sources claim this can be done, but I have yet to find an example.
The following works most of the time (leaving out some details for clarity):
<security-constraint> <url-pattern>/admin</url-pattern> <auth-constraint> <role-name>admin</role-name> </auth-constraint> </security-constraint> <security-constraint> <url-pattern>/user</url-pattern> <auth-constraint> <role-name>user</role-name> </auth-constraint> </security-constraint> <form-login-config> <form-login-page>/login.jsp</form-login-page> <form-error-page>/loginretry.jsp</form-error-page> </form-login-config> <security-role> <role-name>admin</role-name> <role-name>applicant</role-name> </security-role>
... here's the behavior:
1) admin -> /admin -> login.jsp: ok password gets access (good) 2) user -> /user -> login.jsp: ok password gets access (good) 3) admin -> /admin -> login.jsp: bad password -> loginretry.jsp (good) 4) user -> /user -> login.jsp: bad password -> loginretry.jsp (good) 5) bad -> /admin -> login.jsp: -> loginretry.jsp (good) 6) bad -> /user -> login.jsp: -> loginretry.jsp (good) 7) admin -> /user -> login.jsp: ok password -> HTTP status 403 page (no loginretry.jsp) (bad) 8) user -> /admin -> login.jsp: ok password -> HTTP status 403 page (no loginretry.jsp) (bad)
... so it works OK unless one of the roles attempts to access the other's resource, at which point
fails to fetch <form-error-page>. And if I comment out the second (/user) <security-constraint>, the behavior is the same for number (8) ... so the problem is not the two constraints, it's the two roles.
I tried duplicating the <form-login-config> and <security-role> nodes after each <security-constraint>, with just one <role-name> to match the resource, but that violates node-order rules, and tomcat won't go for it.
Does anybody know how this is done? Seems like needing separate admin and user protected resources would be somewhat common, n'cest pas?
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JDBCRealm" debug="5" driverName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" connectionName="root" connectionPassword="password" connectionURL="jdbc:mysql://localhost/qmgr?autoReconnect=true" userTable="users" userNameCol="user" userCredCol="password" userRoleTable="roles" roleNameCol="role" />
mysql> SELECT * FROM users; +------+----------+ | user | password | +------+----------+ | moe | memoe | | max | memax | | bob | mebob | +------+----------+ mysql> SELECT * FROM roles; +------+-------+ | user | role | +------+-------+ | bob | user | | max | admin | | moe | admin | +------+-------+

I think the problem is in your logic; only a login failure would cause the container to serve up the retry page. In your case, it's not a login failure but an access denial. You might want to probably add an <error-page> element to your web.xml:
<error-page> <error-code>403</error-code> <location>/loginretry.jsp</location> </error-page>
Of course, this would cause
403s to display the retry page! So you'll have to think this through.
Also, you've not shown what happens when the roles try to access each other's resources but key in the wrong password. But I guess that works correctly, right?
A little extra info:
You can't duplicate <login-config>, it's one per webapp.
If you have two security constraints with overlapping URL
, then the resulting <auth-constraint> is the UNION of the entries for each.
Also, an empty <auth-constraint> means no roles but a missing <auth-constraint> means
I agree. Here's the link:

Roof & building structural noise transmission &control, causes & cures:
How does exterior noise (rain, hail, highways, aircraft noise) transmit through a roof to the building interior and how can we soundproof building roofs for a quiet building interior?
These articles discuss building noise control: how to inspect, diagnose & cure noise or sound problems in homes or commercial buildings.
Information is provided about auditory (hearing), visual, historic, medical, or other clues of building condition that explain various sounds heard in buildings. We also discuss methods of sound or noise control in buildings during construction or as a building retrofit.

Roof & Structure Noise Transmission & Structural Noises in buildings: Sources, Causes, Remedies
Are metal roofs more noisy than other roof covering types?
Metal-covered roofs in modern building installations are not necessarily noticeably noisier than other roof covering types - depending on the choice of type of metal roofing, underlayment, roof decking, fastener method, and roof insulation method.
The metal roof home shown in our photo (left, courtesy Galow Homes), was installed on a New York home and used solid metal plywood roof decking.
The roof framing support is comprised of I-joists, and the roof cavity is insulated with blown-in foam. During heavy rain, from inside the space below the roof, we could hear only a very muted sound of rainfall on the roof surface and in our opinion the sound level was not different than under an asphalt-shingle roof of similar design and use.
Nevertheless, reader questions & comments (see our roof noise FAQs below) as well as our own field experience make clear that some metal roofs and some roofs covered with other materials can be very noisy and at some buildings there are serious occupant complaints about roof noise levels observed at roofs of various designs and materials.
How is Roof Noise Transmitted into a Building?
Regardless of their source, roof noises are transmitted into buildings by two methods.
Certain building configurations, such as occupied attics or under-roof areas with cathedral ceilings, low slope or flat roofs, and metal roofed buildings may transmit noises to the building interior through the roof sheathing and building framing.
Where roof-transmitted sound reduction is most sought is in buildings located close to high noise areas such as under the flight path to airports.
Our photo of metal roofed homes (left) shows two older houses in Key West, Florida.
A Catalog of Types of Roof Noises & Sounds
Roof noises may be described as those attributed to an obvious source: the patter or even the roar of falling rain or hail, popping and cracking noises (perhaps due to thermal expansion and contraction of roof coverings, metal roofing, or roof structure), and transmitted noises from other external sources such as low-flying aircraft or nearby trains or auto & truck traffic from a nearby highway.
Very loud roof "booming" noises may be heard in cold climates when water freezing on a flat or low slope roof becomes cold enough to fracture.
Other noises sometimes attributed to building roofs are actually traced to other building components on or near the roof, such as antennas, wires, cables, signs, and roof-mounted equipment.
Role of Roof Covering Material in Noise Transmission
Choice of roof covering affects roof noise: Choices of roofing materials can reduce roof transmission of sound to the interior, including use of bituminous or asphalt shingles, or more effective, higher-mass roofing materials such as roofing tiles of clay or concrete. Metal roofing can be sound-transmission reduced by installing the metal roof over plywood and solid foam insulation. Keep in mind that roof skylights are likely to increase sound transmission through roofs.
Green roofs reduce roof noise transmission: One of the benefits claimed for "green roofs" is that by virtue of their stiffness and high mass, green roofs provide very good resistance to sound transmission from outside the building. Quoting:
Connelly & Hodgson reference Dr. Ben H. Sharp, an expert in sound transmission through structures who developed sound transmission theory and who proposed (Sharp 1973) improvements to roof sound transmission resistance thorough roof/ceiling assemblies that combined increased mass with low stiffness.
Accurate diagnosis of the source of roof noise transmission is important in deciding what remedy may work best. For example, check during rainfall to accurately determine the loudest sound source - you might find that more noise is transmitted to the building interior through skylights than through the roof surface itself.
Below at our roof noise FAQs we suggest investigative steps useful in diagnosing and thus curing annoying roof noises & sounds.
Metal roof noises & Roof Underlayments
Depending on installation details, metal roofing can transmit rain noise into buildings at levels exceeding 70 dB (equivalent to street traffic noise).[2]
Noise generated by the roof covering material itself may be a factor where metal roofing is installed, particularly if the metal roofing is not properly insulated and if its connections to the roof deck fail to secure the material properly, including providing an allowance for movement. Quoting:
As we explain at METAL ROOF EXPOSED FASTENER FLASHING
The Role of Metal Roof Profile Type in Roof Noise Levels
The metal roof profile type may also affect the level of noise transmitted by the roof to the building interior. Raised profile metal roofs may be noisier than a flatter profile roof on the same building. Metal roofing that is supported directly by the roof deck below will deflect less and should be more noise and sound resistant than metal roofing that has a raised profile. For example, some metal roof shingles employ a raised profile that includes an empty air space below the metal shingle surface.
Suggestions for Reducing Noise Transmission Through Metal-Covered Roofs
These metal roof installation options can reduce roof noise transmission from metal roofs, such as the sound from falling rain or hail:

Interested in rain impact sound transmission on TPO Roofs
Thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) single-ply roofing membranes are rather recent roof products for which I have not seen much research on noise transmission. Here are a few citations of interest but you'll see the focus has been for the most part elsewhere. Nebesnak (patent disclosure) discusses the need for sound-isolating underlayment. Baskaran et al have done a bit of research and may have some data for you as may Beer who've researched a decade of TPO roof performance. Thanks for the query. I'll continue to look at this question.
Reader Question: What causes roof noise in our flat roof during cold nighttime weather? How can we fix it?
Roof noise - during the winter our torched-on membrane (180g. polyester base sheet & 280g. polyester SBS Cap Sheet) covered flat roof (installed 2002 on the apartment building) makes noises typically at night which disturbs the tenants and has caused some to move out. There are no leaks and the roof looks properly installed. What causes the noise and what can be done about it? Regards, Steve Rickard

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Question: howling noise on roof when windy
(Apr 3, 2012) Cheryl Sayer said:
Hi. We have just had new house built and in 35km+ North and North west winds we get a howling noise that we originally thought were the windows. The windows were checked for leaks and sealed inside and out with no effect. We even bought expenive external electric shutters to cover the windows in wind without effect, hence we believe its the roof. The roofing people inspected it and said there were no problems. The roof is colorbond - coragated steel. It has flashing and gutter with weep holes. We tried covering up the weep holes with out any luck. Can you please help. I have search your site but can't find anything that fits.
Cheryl, I've been thinking about your question off and on for days and am almost as stumped as you. But don't give up. As long as we can rule out apparent noises that actually are neurological in origin (such as tinnitus and sounds suffered by people like my mom with dementia) then what's left are noises that are physical in origin and that can eventually, with care, be tracked down.
You've already related the noise to wind. Try:
- careful detection of sound source by direction, perhaps using a simple hearing amplifier sold by RadioShack
- asking the roofing manufacturer or other property owners with the same roof product installed if they are familiar with any noise issues and if so what solutions they use
- making some temporary air blocks or baffles to amend wind direction over leading edges of the roof or areas of roof surface. For example some readers had success with tracking down wind noise to some loose asphalt shingles by temporarily placing sheets of plywood over the suspect surface area. (Watch out that plywood doesn't blow off and hit someone/something).
Keep us posted, what you find will help other readers, and I'll continue to think about it and do some more research to be reported here.
Question: squeaky roof insulating board
(June 21, 2012) firstname.lastname@example.com said:
I stripped existing shingles off the roof added 2 inch thick blue board on top of existing OSB then added 3/4 OSB and reshingled with architectural shingles. Now get cereaking noises in the roof at beginning and end of day probably expansion/contraction but what of? Blue board was fastened to OSB with nails and top layer of OSB with screws. Ideas?
About squeaking creaking roof surfaces using foam board insulation:
I suspect that because the solid foam insulating board is just nailed, not glued, to the two layers of plywood and OSB, that foam and sheathing sandwich is making the creaking noise due to thermal expansion and contraction of the whole roof deck assembly.
Roof surface temperatures run through a very wide range of temperature swings, even moreso if the shingles are dark in color.
Solid foam board, moving over plywood or OSB, will sometimes make a creaking or squeaking noise.
It's possible that you might get a slight reduction in the noise if you assure that you have good under-roof ventilation, as cooling the whole roof assembly may have a small effect on temperatures throughout your plywood-solid foam insulating board-OSB sandwich.
At the time of construction one might reduce noise from foam board roof insulation panels by applying a glue rated for use with the particular insulating material. But once you've sandwiched it between plywood, without glue, securing the plywood further may not do much about this noise complaint.
Otherwise, I'm afraid you're stuck with those noises until it's re-roof time.
Question: noisy neighbor's roof
(July 10, 2012) MIke said:
Our neighbor is installing a metal roof near our bedroom window. Will this increase noise when we are trying to sleep?
Mike as you may want to read in the article above, the noise transmission into the building that the roof covers is affected by how the roof is installed and how the under-roof space is insulated. The source of noise on a metal roof is primarily the weather: rain or hail. I can imagine that a poorly secured metal roof might creak or make noises during thermal changes but I have not come across that complaint. In the occupied space below the example roof shown in our photos above, there was no significant noise level difference during rain than below the flat rubber-roofed sections of the same building.
Complaints by neighbors about noise from buildings with metal roofs is not an issue we've had reported.
Question: adequacy of bubble wrap as sound insulation in a roof?
(July 30, 2012) Madhu said:
I am building a single storey house in the tropics with a permaclad roof on top of pine rafters. The rooms will all have false ceilings with either gypsum or dry wall. I plan to use one layer of refledtive insulation (the one with bubbles in the centre an foil outside. Will this help with rain noise? What is the best way to apply this insulation? If it doesn't dampen sound the only other available insulation in my area is fibreglass. Can this be used and if so, how should it be applied in relation to the reflective insulation? Please help. Thanls
Madhu, I doubt that the thin insulation you describe will do much to reduce noise transmitted through the metal roof. You could add insulation betweeen the foil/bubblewrap "insulation" and the roof underside for added sound deadening.
Question: wind & air movement noise generation on roofs

wind noise from front of bungalow roof
(Apr 2, 2014) Anonymous said:
I had square plastic roof vents installed when the roof was reshingled 3 years ago. Prior to that the attic was vented only by soffit vents.
I am now experiencing resonating vibration in my home (starting December 2014). I am wondering if the cause of the vibration is due to the helmholtz effect of wind and sound from heat pumps and hot tubs in the area entering the house through the vents.
Is there a possibility of increased noise in my house due to the vents? How would I close the openings without tearing off the shingles?

Ken, your guess that air movement across the roof vents is producing a sound is possible, but it would surprise me first because I think that the effect would be so stunningly common, and the subject of so many complaints that the roof vent manufacturers would have changed the vent design, and next because I'm not sure that Hermann's explanation would apply to this sort of vent.
I'd check for some visually obvious snafus fist, like loose flashing or even loose soffits- as now you're actually providing a partial air outlet that may change the air inflow into the attic. That change can cause anything in the air path to move and perhaps produce a sound.
I'm not a big van of spot vents like those you describe because of their lack of effectiveness - venting only portions of the roof deck. But better than nothing.
If you want to perform a test, try just temporarily taping the roof vent openings with blue masking tape.
Let us know what you find.
Question: noist transmission through steel roof to neighbors invades privacy
(Sept 7, 2014) Kathy Mirza said:
Kathy as a retrofit you may find best results adding closed cell spray foam insulation; some noise transmission will still pass through framing in contact between the interior ceiling and exterior roof sheathing but you'll largely attenuate the noise.
Question: noise transmission through rubber roof
(Sept 14, 2014) Jamie said:
If you have sufficient headroom to be willing to give up some of it you can install a layer of solid foam insulation then more sound-resistant drywall atop that. More extensive sound-isolation framing is also possible (offsetting an additional set of ceiling joists from the original ones) but that is both more costly and much more space-consuming.
Question: severe cracking noises in roof in windy conditions
(Nov 14, 2014) Martha said:
Our ceilings are 10 ft. tall, we have trusses in the attic with sprayed foam insulation in between the floor boards in the attic. The builder sent a fellow to brace up some of the 2x4's last year...but that didn't help. Do you have an answer to our dilemma? We can not live with this! Thank you for any assistance you may offer.
I'd like to help but don't know a thing about your home, its location, construction, history, conditions, materials. I agree that we want the noise cause diagnosed. Wind usually relates to noises either as air movement across or through building materials or perhaps temperature changes or even pressure loading on the structure. Try calling some of the home inspectors listed in your area to see who has experience and interest in tracking down noise and sound problems, or see
NOISE / SOUND DIAGNOSIS & CURE - home at More Reading above.

Our builder has said that with our desired closed foam insulation mechanical noise will actually increase over a metal roof with more "traditional" and less effective insulation. Would you be able to recommend the absolute best way to construct the home (ideally with a metal roof) for mechanical noise reduction and optimal energy conservation? I, of course, imagine will transpire to the "most expensive"
If you can, please try to let me know some idea of a relative cost statement and perhaps a few options with various cost bundles. I know this is a a lot to ask and I would appreciate anything you might suggest. (Note: we do get a lot of hail, but that noise is of much less concern than airplane noise :). Thanks for helping all of us!
A foam insulated roof is described by the expert sources we reviewed as providing more sound transmission insulation than simple fiberglass. I believe that in part this is because the fiberglass will do nothing to dampen sound transmitted through the roof covering to sheathing to rafters to the interior.
You will want to get some bids on insulation alternatives. Foam sprayed in placed is more costly than fiberglass (and has a higher R-value as well), perhaps 2x. However one should when assessing roof insulation cost for noise, also consider the payback time in heating or cooling cost savings: a figure that varies depending on the home's heat gain or loss rate through the roof and of course on heating or cooling methods and operating costs.
23 January 20145 Kelley Galloway said:
Unless something is done to attenuate the sound transmission through framing, the noise reduction by insulation alone will be limited. Foam has the advantage that its contact with wood framing seems to help attenuate that sound path, but using solid foam under the roof and atop the framing is still more effective.
Insulators are likely to be nervous about promising anything about sound reduction since by definition the client has already indicated that they're sound-sensitive.
The suggestions in the article above and in the FAQs are the best I've found to date.
You might need an architect or engineer who is expert in sound control to look at your specific structure to identify the sound pathways so that you can be sure you don't have to do the job twice.

Domestic horse slaughter is not, and has never been, a humane option for so-called unwanted horses ("Horse Plants Are Reasonable Solutions," Aug. 13). When horses were slaughtered on U.S. soil prior to 2007, the U.S. Department of Agriculture witnessed animals suffering gruesome injuries in appalling conditions.
Iowa is no place for this kind of misery. Any neglected horses in Iowa aren't the result of a lack of horse slaughter plants in our state, but rather are because irresponsible horse owners and breeders have chosen to commit the illegal act of neglecting their horses. Sending a horse to be slaughtered in Canada or Mexico, unfortunately, remains fully legal, but that hasn't prevented horses from being neglected or abused.
Those who truly care about horses should support the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act. This federal legislation will prevent horse slaughter from resuming in the U.S. and close our borders to the industry. Paired with rescue and sanctuary work, that's a solution that will protect horses and save millions of taxpayer dollars.

SILVER CITY — Sweet and savory smells in mountain scenery return with the 11th annual Glenwood Dutch Oven Cook-Off next week in Glenwood.
This event is designed to be reminiscent of the old days when members of small communities would gather for shared food and to visit. It is held every year at the Glenwood Community Park on CatWalk Road, just an hour north of Silver City. Last year's event drew more than 800 visitors.
Glenwood's first Dutch Oven Cook-Off was organized in 2003 by Wendy Peralta, owner of the Glenwood Trading Post. Each year since, the event has grown — in size, number of cooks, and variety of food and fun. It began to grow so large, in fact, that a committee was formed to help Peralta. Now, people like Gale Moore and Leah Jones Zachek help to organize it. Each year, proceeds from the Cook-Off go to benefit the Community Park in Glenwood, where many events take place.
According to Zachek, the event is usually held a little earlier in March, but given the month's testy weather and Easter's placement this year, they decided early April would work better.
This year, organizers promise plenty of food for everyone. Experienced chefs or amateurs are welcome to try their hands at this age-old method of outdoor cooking and to enter the competition, no matter where they call home.
Cooking categories for the competition will again be "Fancy Fixer," "Camp Cookie," and "Tenderfoot," with submitted recipes and level of experience considered.
Eager entrants can get a Cook's Packet any time up until the event. The Cook's Packet includes an entry form, rules, directions, lodging, vendor spaces and other information.
The Tasters' Delight event begins at 2 p.m., as soon as the competition judging is complete. In the Tasters' Delight, all the Dutch Oven cooks bring their food to the Pavilion for folks to taste samples of the dishes. This year, the price is $7.50 per plate.
There will be music, dancing and craft vendors as well. The price for a space as a vendor is $25.
Bucky Allred will also be selling his famous barbecue sandwiches with chips and coleslaw. The Glenwood Senior Center will sell breakfast burritos, cinnamon rolls, tea and lemonade. Organizers recommend getting tickets early for the Tasters' Delight, because they sell out quickly, and to be at the park to get in line by 2 p.m.
"We never really know how many cooks are going to show up until they show," Zachek said. "That's why we asked Bucky to show up and help supplement the amount of food at the cook-off tasting."
Visitors are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs as well as their appetites.
Western Bank, Ace Hardware and The Glenwood Gazette have signed on as event sponsors — adding to the prize money for winning cooks.
"The way it's grown is fantastic," said Zachek. "We get more and more people coming up every year. It's a little, bitty town and it's just great to have so many visitors."
For more information on entering the contest or participating as a vendor, call Leah Jones Zachek at 575-545-3737. For more information on entering the contest or to get a Cook's Packet, call Gale Moore at 575-388-4806 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you go:
What: 11th annual Glenwood Dutch Oven Cook-Off. Vendors cook in old-fashioned Dutch Ovens throughout the day as visitors hungrily wait.
When: 9 a.m. to late afternoon April 6
Where: Community Park on Catwalk Road in Glenwood
Cost: $7.50 per plate. Proceeds benefit the Glenwood Community Park.
Information: Call Gale Moore at 575-388-4806.

The Romans would make promises at the beginning of each year to the god Janus, for whom the month of January is named.
Statistics show that the success rate for New Year's resolutions is only about a 20 percent success rate. An optimist would analyze that statistic and say that a person cannot succeed at something they do not try. For the 20 percent who do succeed in keeping their goals, it takes courage and a strong commitment to make the new behavior a regular behavior. People are more likely to succeed if they are self-motivated and never give up on goals they set for themselves. Listed below are the four main areas that a person should focus on in keeping a balanced and happy lifestyle.
In I Corinthians 6:19-20 (New Living Translation) it states, "Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body."
Creating a reasonable schedule that includes exercise, proper diet and the right amount of sleep, rest and relaxation is the key to maintaining positive physical health. Setting realistic and obtainable goals can be difficult and most New Year's resolutions are defeated because goals are too difficult to meet.
The mind and body are connected on several levels. Depression, stress and anxiety are mental health conditions that also have physical symptoms. When a person feels troubled emotionally, there are usually physical consequences.
In Proverbs 17:22 (NLT), it states, "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person's strength." Emotional health is best improved by focusing on the positives in our life and coping with our stressors through proper counsel and strategies.
Social health is improved by making a commitment to verbalize with others close to us, having people we can trust for advice and counsel and having people we can stay accountable to. Finding people who fit these categories can often be a challenge, but social support is necessary for a healthy lifestyle. People who are isolated socially and cut themselves off from others are often the ones who struggle the most.
Proverbs 18:1 (English Standard Version) reads, "Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment."
The four components of health are all interconnected. If one area is weak, the others will be affected as well.
This is certainly true for spiritual health. Our reliance and faith in God can often be negatively affected when the other three areas are declining. But during our time of struggle is when our reliance on God is most necessary.
Romans 5:3-5 (ESV) states, "More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."
Being mindful of these four aspects of health will lead to a healthy start to 2013. Being self-motivated to keep these areas healthy is important, but do not hesitate to seek support if you find yourself struggling.

Deister Machine Co. celebrates 100th anniversary
Posted By Tina Grady Barbaccia On January 31, 2012 @ 6:20 am In People News | No Comments
Deister Machine Co. Inc. is celebrating its 100th anniversary as a manufacturer of feeding, scalping and screening equipment for the aggregate, mining, coal, asphalt, and recycle industries.
Deister has remained a family-owned business since its founding in 1912. "We continue to build upon our century of service via solid engineering and customized screening solutions that allow today's aggregate producers to efficiently meet the most stringent specifications," says Deister Chairman and Co-CEO Irwin F. Deister Jr., who recently marked 60 years of service with the company. Irwin and E. Mark Deister, President and Co-CEO, represent the family's third generation at the company's helm.
The company's dedication to the industry began with their grandfather, Emil Deister, the company's founder, according to Deister.
In the early 1900s, Emil Deister took up the study of ore separation; and eventually, he would patent his own equipment, starting with a centrifugal separator that extracted gold from mercury amalgam, and continuing on to develop ore separating tables. His table is praised in Taggert's Handbook of Ore Dressing, the official textbook at many mining schools, as the first serious competition to the only other kind of ore separating table available at the time.
Emil established his business in 1906 as the Deister Concentrator Co. In 1912, Emil sold Deister Machine Co. began manufacturing operations at 1933 East Wayne St. in Fort Wayne, Indiana, its current location. The original building, a 5,500-square-foot plant, is still in active use amidst a total operation that today spans more than 360,000 square feet and four plant locations in Fort Wayne. Its line of equipment includes heavy-duty inclined screens, high-speed screens, horizontal screens, dewatering screens, and vibrating feeders and grizzlies. Additionally, Deister recently introduced its new Ultra-Fines Recovery System, as well as its new line of Deister Premium Portable Screening Plants.
Deister equipment is in operation in all 50 states, Canada, and in many countries throughout Latin America, as well as Europe, Asia, and Australia. According to its engineers, Deister equipment is designed to integrate with all components of the production system, while delivering maximum performance and productivity. In fact, some of the earlier models of Deister vibrating screens are still in operation due to their rugged construction and continued high efficiency.
Additionally, Deister Machine Co. supports its industry by being active participants in a variety of key organizations. Today, Irwin F. Deister, Jr. and E. Mark Deister are life members of the NSSGA board, both having served as chairman of its Manufacturers and Services (M&S) Division. In the recent past, Deister Vice President of Marketing and Sales Joe Schlabach served as the Chairman of M&S Division.
Irwin and Mark Deister are proud to say that "the long-term customer relationships, which the company has developed over years of support, consultation and service, have resulted in ongoing improvements in the design, engineering and customization of Deister feeding and screening equipment – a mission never more important in an era when material specifications are tightening and producers are searching for the means to remain profitable in an increasingly competitive business environment."

Greensboro, NC -- As a dad, this kind of stuff makes me cringe.
I've been pretty angry, to be honest.
These four kids hit recently are 6, 7, 8 and 11-years-old.
If it's an adult, even a teenager versus a kid in elementary school, who's supposed to be the responsible one?
Look, earlier this week, we showed you the average stopped bus slows you down by 30 seconds.
The shortest stop only took 13 seconds!
If you need proof look at the story on digtriad.com.
The headline says "How Long Does A Bus Really Take?"
But let's step back for a second.
This isn't as much about cameras on buses or parents holding their kids hands as it is a matter of personal responsibility.
As a driver with the privilege of handling a vehicle by myself - I've been trusted by the state to follow the rules.
That's the deal we all sign up for when we get one of these (a driver's license).
You don't have to do what anyone tells you, especially me.
But I want to personally plead with you and your conscience.
Just stop.
Our children depend on it.

Lo Mein Recipe
I love Chinese food! I often make Lo Mein with leftover tidbits of meat. It is a great way to stretch a small amount of meat! Thanks to Connie for this recipe. Check out Cook with Connie for more fantastic recipes!
Lo mein is the ultimate leftover makeover. You can use your family's favorite meat and veggies to make this quick, one skillet meal. I typically use pork or chicken and the combination of vegetables varies throughout the year. In the spring and summer, use fresh cabbage, zucchini, yellow squash, green pepper, and in the winter, use frozen mixed veggies of corn, carrots, beans, and peas. Lo mein is a year-round favorite that you can vary to suit your family's tastes. Use leftover pork roast or chops or chop up the roasted or rotisserie chicken you served the night before. Steamed shrimp is delicious in lo mein, too.
This dish is quite versatile since the measurements for the noodles, veggies, and meat are approximate. If you have less noodles and more vegetables, that's fine. You can even prepare meatless lo mein. Just keep soy sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar on hand, and you'll be able to throw lo mein together in no time.
- 2 T olive oil
- ¼ c. white onion, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 c. vegetables (frozen or fresh, chopped)
- 2 t. rice vinegar
- ¼ c. sesame oil
- ¼ c. soy sauce
- 2 T. hoisin sauce
- 1 T. honey
- 2 c. cooked noodles (linguine or spaghetti)
- 1 ½ c. cooked meat (pork, chicken, shrimp, your choice)
- Soy sauce and hot sauce to taste
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onion
In a large skillet or wok, saute onion and garlic in olive oil over medium-high heat. When onions are transparent, add vegetables and next 5 ingredients, stirring well. Cook 5 minutes or until veggies are crisp-tender. Add noodles and meat and toss together. Serve immediately with garnish.

Eureka County Sheriff Ken Jones tells KOLO 8 News Now that Camp was found at the Ruby Hill Motel in Eureka, Nevada.
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - Authorities say a 33-year-old Washington state man who fled before he could be sentenced on federal child pornography counts is hospitalized in Nevada after shooting himself as sheriff's deputies closed in.
Eureka County, Nev., Sheriff Ken Jones said Wednesday that Daniel Camp looked out his hotel window as deputies approached on Tuesday. Officers heard a gunshot seconds later and found Camp wounded in his room.
Camp was airlifted to Renown Medical Center in Reno, Nev. KHQ-TV in Spokane reported that he was in critical condition Wednesday.
Jones says his office was alerted by the FBI that Camp might be in the area. His deputies had planned to arrest the man on an outstanding fugitive warrant but never got that chance.
Seattle FBI spokeswoman Ayn Dietrich confirms her agency had been seeking Camp on a fugitive warrant but would add only that the FBI is "no longer actively trying to locate him."

Obviously it is important for a cancer patient to maintain appetite. A good appetite and enjoyment of food is one of the four criteria of life quality that are considered when deciding on euthanasia. Beyond maintaining body condition and getting proper nutrients, however, there are
actual nutrients and nutritional strategies that have anti-cancer properties.
Cancer is particularly efficient at using carbohydrates.
The "Low Carb" diet theory is that a diet restricted in carbohydrates will be inhibitory to tumor growth. This theory plus work with omega 3 fatty acids has led to the production of Hills N/D diet (N/D stands for "neoplasia diet," with "neoplasia" being the scientific term for cancer). See the next section for details regarding omega 3 fatty acids in the treatment of cancer.
Biochemically, a fatty acid is what we colloquially "fat." When we talk about different types of fatty acids we are talking about different types of fat. A fatty acid consists of a long carbon
chain (say 20 or so carbons in length) with a biochemical acid group at one end.
a saturated fat
Each carbon atom has four binding sites. In the carbon chain, two sites will be taken up by other carbons (ie the two adjacent carbons on the chain). In a saturated fat, the
other two sites are taken up by hydrogen atoms. Saturated fats are typcially sold at room temperature (like lard and butter) and are generally of animal origin. Saturated fats
are generally burned as fuel by our bodies.
Unsaturated fats have two adjacent carbons held together by a biochemical "double
bond." These fats are generally liquid at room temperature and are of plant origin (olive oil, corn oil etc.).
Unsaturated fats can be classified as "omega three" fatty acids or "omega six" fatty acids, depending on the location of the double bond relative to the acid group at the
end of the chain. These types of fatty acids are Essential, meaning that our bodies cannot make them; instead, in order to get them we must eat them in our diet. These fats
are not burned for fuel. Instead they are used as structural components. The Omega six fatty acids are used as the main structural components in our cells. Omega three's are
used in the structure of the retina and central nervous system.
For healthy skin and coat, the diet must contain adequateomega six fatty acids as these make up the very surface of the skin.
Examples of Omega Six Fatty Acids (also called "n-6" fatty acids): Linoleic acid, gamma linolenic acid, and Arachadonic acid.
An excellent source would be Evening Primrose oil.
This is Linolenic Acid. Note the double bond between carbons 6 & 7 from the left.An Omega 3 fatty acid would have a double bond at carbons 3 & 4.
Examples of Omega Three Fatty Acids (also called "n-3" fatty acids): Alpha linolenic acid, Eicosopentanoic acid, docosahexanoic acid.
An excellent source would be Cold Water Fish oils.
Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to inhibit the growth and spread of cancer plus they have anti-inflammatory properties. In the study that launched Hills N/d diet, 32
dogs with lymphoma were divided randomly into two groups: one that received a diet heavy in menhaden fish oil and one that received a diet heavy in soy bean oil. Both groups also received chemotherapy with doxorubicin. The dogs that received this omega 3 fatty acid diet went into remission sooner and stayed in remission longer than dogs that received the soy bean oil diet.
Both the "Low Carb" and Omega three fatty acid therapies have incorporated into Hills N/D diet which is available as a canned food and is available for dogs only.
This diet may be of tremendous benefit to a dog with lymphoma but there are a few caveats:
The ingredient that is said to be beneficial here is linoleic acid.
There are two major brands of safflower oil on the market: Hain and Hollywood. Apparently Hollywood is the brand with the most linoleic acid and is the brand of choice in this somewhat
controversial treatment. In one study using eight dogs with Mycosis fungoides (the skin T-cell form of lymphoma), six dogs achieved remission with no other therapy.
In 1999, at the annual American College of Veterinary Dermatology meeting, two case reports were presented: one dog out of remission for Mycosis fungoides after chemotherapy and the other having
had no other therapy for Mycosis fungoides. The first dog had a partial response to the Safflower oil and the other achieved prolonged remission.
Minimal adverse effects come with the use of this oil (if too much oil is used there is a possibility of pancreatitis but, in general, obesity from the fat is the only problem). Safflower oil is
inexpensive and readily available.
So what is the catch? Should all lymphoma patients be on this oil? Safflower oil is an Omega 6 fatty acid. Omega 6 fatty acids have been shown in other studies to have

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - An appeals court has resurrected a bid by the state of Montana to force ultra-luxury resort founder Tim Blixseth into bankruptcy and make him cough up $57 million in alleged back taxes.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overruled a lower court ruling Monday and said Nevada is the proper venue. Blixseth is believed to have most of his assets in a Nevada-based trust.
The ruling comes on the heels of a Dec. 5 order that Blixseth pay $41 million to creditors from the Yellowstone Club, the private ski resort he founded near Big Sky.
Blixseth diverted most of a $375 million loan to the club for his personal use before it went bankrupt in 2008.
The state says that money counts as taxable income.

How about that new Kansas City Royals hitting coach?
How about that new Kansas City Royals hitting coach?
Hall of Famer and Kansas City legend George Brett was in the dugout in St. Louis for Thursday night's marathon session as the Royals' interim hitting coach.
I wonder what was going through his mind as the game was delayed an hour before the first pitch and 4 hours and 32 minutes after the Royals scored three times in the top of the ninth inning to claim a 4-2 victory in a contest that ended promptly at 3:14 a.m.
Kansas City outfielder Jeff Francoeur entered the game with a .217 batting average, but he ended the Royals' 59-inning slump without a homer in the top of the ninth inning as the Royals scored three times to take the lead.
The win helped the Royals avoid a Cardinals' sweep of the series and ended an eight-game losing streak.
I write with this with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek as I credit Brett for the win. The Royals collected just four hits in the win, but his passion, and love of the game he dominated for two decades, should make this young squad eager to follow in his footsteps.
Before the game, Brett, manager Ned Yost and general manager Dayton Moore talked about Brett's presence and how they coaxed him from the golf course to the baseball diamond.
"I was just frustrated night after night after night of watching this," Brett said when asked why he had changed his stance and accepted the hitting coach position. "I go, 'Well, (gosh) dang, Dayton.' Next thing Ned calls and asks, 'What do you think?'"
They asked Brett if he might consider being the new hitting coach, as he had worked with many of the players on a daily basis in spring training.
"We lost another game and I thought about it and I just thought I would give it a try." Brett said. "I spoke to the players, tried to invoke the same passion I have for the organization and I am scared to death right now to be honest with you."
Brett steps into his new job with a pedigree that includes three batting championships in three decades, 3,154 career hits and 13 all-star appearances.
But when he took the field, he controlled what happened.
Now, he is hoping to share his knowledge with a struggling squad.
"I am looking forward to the challenge," he added. "I know how hard this game is to play. Every day I played I was scared to death because I didn't know if I was going to go 0-for-4 or 4-for-4. I didn't know if the ball was going to go between my legs or I was going to make a great play.
Page 2 of 2 - "We have young kids on our team who are having a hard time coping with the situation they are in right now. I just want to come and share my life with them, how I got through things like this, how I became a more consistent player, how I became a leader of a club and played with the passion I played with.
"I think I can help these guys learn that."
And that's just what Yost and Moore are hoping for, too.
"Timing is everything, and obviously we got off to a good start," Moore said. "The expectations were very high for our team, knowing that we have a young ball club, young hitters and many of them with very little experience.
"So we feel the offense will trend upwards but the time was now (to make a change) and we're losing a lot of games and we're not scoring runs. We need to inject some enthusiasm and some energy. As I have said many times, coming to Kansas City and evaluating this organization's history and where we are right now and what we are trying to become getting to know George Brett I realized very early on why the Royals were so successful in the '80s.
"They had good players, but the competitiveness and the loyalty and energy and fierce competitor that George was and what he brought to that team, I feel that we need in our clubhouse and Ned feels it is the right thing as well. We talked to him in the past and we are excited he is ready to go."
Yost, who played against Brett when he was a catcher for the Milwaukee Brewers, is excited about Brett's day-to-day involvement with his hitters.
"George will bring passion, energy, enthusiasm, competitiveness – we talked about all that – but I have been in Major League Baseball spring training camps for many, many years and I have never seen a player of George's magnitude, from the minute he gets there to the minute he leaves he is working.
"He's hitting fungos, throwing batting practice, talking to players in the locker room. He is there from the first day of spring training to the last day. I've never seen a Hall of Famer with the work ethic he has. And you can see by standing around him for a while why he was so successful."
And we can only hope that aura will rub off on the struggling Royals hitters.
When he played, Brett was a miracle worker – the guy you wanted up with the game on the line. Only time will tell if he can work the same kind of magic as a coach.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Missourians hoping to find out whether the Affordable Care Act lives up to its name were greeted with brief delays Tuesday morning as computer users flocked to a new online health insurance marketplace.
Consumers seeking information from the government-backed insurance exchange were advised to "please wait" for several minutes while the website handled heavy traffic.
The online insurance exchange in Missouri is being operated by the federal government after state lawmakers and then voters rejected a state-run system. Unlike in many other states, few details about the plans' premium costs, deductible levels and other specifics were disclosed in advance of Tuesday's kickoff.

Novell MonoTouch permits .NET development for iPhone
updated 11:00 am EDT, Mon September 14, 2009
May expand accessibility for programmers
Through its open-source Mono Project, Novell has released MonoTouch 1.0, a software development kit for the iPhone and iPod touch. The SDK allows programming apps within Microsoft's .NET framework, which incorporates languages such as C#. Most iPhone development is handled using C and Objective-C, which Novell notes will necessarily exclude many people working with .NET.
MonoTouch is particularly designed to circumvent a conflict between .NET and Apple's iPhone developer license, which prevents the use of scripting engines or JIT (Just-in-Time) compilers. The kit includes base class libraries for .NET, and managed libraries for native iPhone APIs. A cross-compiler renders code into software that can be submitted to the App Store, or distributed inside a closed network.
The Personal Edition of MonoTouch costs $399 per year, per developer, and only compiles programs for the App Store. The Enterprise Edition costs $3,999 per year, but covers five developers and also allows creating apps for internal enterprise use. Updates and maintenance are included as part of the subscription.

Dear All,
It will go on the notice boards, as do your prints from the postcard exchange.....the people who work here are passionate about the products, many actually use them and all care about the history and values of the company. Our company motto is 'To be the best in black and white' that has never changed ( and never will ).
The product range : Very simple, its our strategy : We have altered, improved and updated all our manufacturing processes since taking over the business to ensure we keep every product : We make everything that we made the day we took over the business seven years ago. Some individual SKU's ( sizes or box quantities ) may have gone but apart from cooltone dev nothing has been deleted from the ILFORD Photo range, some products were deleted from the KENTMERE range, mostly because of base issues and manufacturing issues, and of course some added such as KENTMERE Film.
If you care to count we currently have 2,554 live manufactured items.
Simon ILFORD photo / HARMAN technology Limited :
Ilford is doubleplusgood.
Agree completely, Ken.
I get the feeling that Ilford and it's employees are in it for that little bit more than just making a living.
I switched to Ilford paper back in the 90s (before the receivership) because I had some inconsistent sheets in a box from someone else. I've never seriously considered any other paper since then. The paper is always consistent, like Thomas said. Better than that, it's got a great look to it. Go Ilford!
Is there any chance in the foreseeable future that colour film will come back?
Or is it a case of never say never lol?
Back on the early seventies I worked selling cameras and we got to go to a demo of new products at a hotel in Montreal. (Camera Store Staff Only) and ILFORD had set up an entire Darkroom made of Orange Plexiglass. (persprex in the UK) where they we showing the Then New Ilfospeed Product line including the special processor and dryer. The folks in the darkroom of course knew the neagtive they had to print, but still they were making 10 second exposures and the prints came out of the machine in a couple of minutes. The end of the demonstration they printed a "bunch" of prints of a head shot of a model eating a strawberry. Running it through the machines and passing them though a light trap and distributing them within 5 minutes. I have misplaced the print, but I can confirm that it looked like new 20 years later.
The department store I worked for did not sell much in the way of Darkroom stuff, but I stocked up on Ilfospeed, and Ilford has been my favorite brand of paper since, (Although the New Kentmere VC RC is the same source and twice the speed so It may be my new normal.)
A tip of the hat to Ilford from me too. Delta400 was the first b+w film I shot in a Holga about 4 years ago and it's what hooked me on shooting film. Now I'm processing and printing in my home darkroom and what a journey it has been so far. I've always found Delta400 to be a great film and the MGIV paper to be excellent, even that box of glossy I bought by mistake. Thanks for the great products =]

November 30, 2015
HALF MOON BAY, Calif. (AP) - More boats were sold and more fishermen are looking for work along the West Coast after one of the West Coast's most valuable commercial fisheries was declared an economic disaster in 2000.
But federal statistics are showing the signs of a comeback among these so-called groundfish fishermen, who ply deep waters for dozens of species, such as sablefish and thornyheads.
Conservation efforts and a 2-year-old contentious quota system called "catch shares" appear to be helping. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says the groundfish fishery industry hauled in $54 million in 2011, up from an average of $38 million over the previous five years.
But worries remain in some corners that the program in the long run will benefit big operations over small family-run fishing businesses.

B2B ID: Karin Moyano Camihort
Karin Moyano Camihort Purchase photo reprints »
NAME: Karin Moyano Camihort
TITLE: Dean of online learning and academic initiatives, Holyoke Community College, 303 Homestead Ave.
WEBSITE: www.hcc.edu/online
HOW MANY ON YOUR STAFF: The Online Team has five staff members and five IT student workers
WHAT YOU DO: I provide vision and direction to Online Programs. Student demands for flexible online learning options have grown dramatically. In an effort to respond to these demands, HCC has made online learning a college priority. We increased the number of online degrees and have been working hard on the virtualization of the campus. From admissions to graduation, learning experiences and academic support strategies are designed for the online student. As the dean, I am responsible for the budget, policies and procedures of the division. Among my obligations, maintaining high academic standards and preserving HCC student-centered ethos are chief.
EXPERIENCE: I came to this position with substantial experience and a strong commitment to teaching and innovation. I have had the chance to engage in a number of collaborations and projects at other vibrant campuses. I am constantly engaged in dialogue with colleagues across the country who are also leaders and innovators. For example, I recently spent a week in an intensive Breakthrough Models Academy, exploring ways in which technology can help us design the next generation learning models.
THE MARKET: Our online students are, on average, older than our campus students, most of them work full time and have family responsibilities. They are looking for authentic and meaningful learning experiences. Our job is to create this educational space where they can learn and succeed.
KEY TO PROGRAM SUCCESS: The secret to student success is the connection they make with faculty and peers. Creating opportunities that promote these connections are key to the overall program success.
CHALLENGES: Online learning forces us to reconsider traditional policy and practice in educational settings. Our main challenge is to create nimble organizations able to adapt to the future.
MISSTEP YOU LEARNED FROM: The preliminary success of the program led us to believe that every student could be successful online. We were wrong. Learning online is challenging. Successful online learners are motivated and technology savvy. They are self-reliant students that know how to manage time and how to face challenges. We have learned to, early on, embed these skills in the learning process.
WHAT OTHERS COULD LEARN FROM YOU: I am a resilient observer who believes we can always do things better. I can be very assertive, but I try to remain open and listen. I know my strong convictions can only improve if I am open to the insights of others. I have learned that change is only possible when we all work together.
WHO HELPED MENTOR YOU PROFESSIONALLY: Thomas Warger, who was my boss at the Five Colleges, Inc., has been my invaluable mentor. He is an expert in the field and extremely generous with his knowledge. I also pay close attention to what my colleagues, faculty and students teach me on a regular basis.
TOP GOALS FOR 2014: Our main goal for fall 2014 is to complete a successful upgrade of our learning management system and to continue providing excellent learning opportunities for all.
ADVICE FOR OTHERS SEEKING BUSINESS SUCCESS: All of us, at certain moments of our professional lives, need to take the time to step away from our daily obligations and look back from a new perspective.
PARTING THOUGHT: Online learning makes it easier for you to pursue your dream of a degree.

Cyber bullying victim didn't know what to do 'besides kill myself'
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — A 14-year-old girl sat timidly, telling her story of falling victim to cyber bullying.
"I didn't know what to do," she said. "I just felt like cutting myself was the only thing for me to do, besides kill myself."
The cyber bullying started with social media website www.ask.fm. The site is used to ask anonymous questions.
The girl said in the beginning, the questions were innocent. But before long, some went so far as "slit your throat," "suicide," and "eat sleeping pills and die."
"It hurt, a lot. I wanted to actually do it," said the girl, who shared her story with Eyewitness News on condition of anonymity.
What's worse, her mother feared it was her high school classmates behind the violent online messages.
"Only people at school would know that she has a crush on that boy or talked about this boy. It would be only people from school that would know that stuff," the mother said, also speaking to Eyewitness News on condition of anonymity.
School administrators said it's an increasing problem. Without the identities of the perpetrators, all they can do is to attend to the victims.
"Quite often, these cyber bullying assaults are coming from anonymous sites," said John Teves of the Kern High School District. "Anybody who's doing this kind of thing is a sadist, in the truest sense of the word. They're just inflicting pain on someone just for the sake of inflicting pain on them"
Without an identity or an additional crime, there isn't much police can do.
"Cyber bullying is not a crime, in and of itself," said Bakersfield police Sgt. Joe Grubbs. "If it's limited to cyber bullying, and your child's being bullied online, and there's been no other type of assault, then we're somewhat limited."
Some states have passed laws making cyber bullying a crime, but that isn't the case in California.
Police said that leaves families to rely on themselves.
"It's really a parent's responsibility to know what their child is doing," Grubbs said.
Schools can offer counseling, and police can provide resources.
But, for this family, that still isn't enough.
"We're trying to find help, and we can't find help nowhere," the mother said.

The construction down the highway 15 corridor through Cedar City will be closing exits and entrances for residents of the town for a few hours on 7-17 through 7-19.
- Filed Under
As the warm summer months continue to be conducive to road construction, The Utah Department of Transportation has a number of projects in Iron County that will slow travelers while improving infrastructure.
UDOT construction projects in Iron County this year have a projected value of more than $16.6 million.
Perhaps the most visible project is the work occurring along Interstate 15 through Cedar City. This $4.1 million project involves a roto-mill, overlay and structure-rehab project from mileposts 58 to 60. Included in the project is structure rehab on the four bridges along the ...

Our art project is the centerpiece for the 3:00 plaza this year. We would greatly appreciate any help we can get. A lot of us are spending many days/hours per week towards making this happen. We've done an art car the past 3 years (the grrrsect) so we know what we're getting into, and hope that everyone will enjoy what we're building for this year.
This piece is intended to be experienced by participants at Burning Man, from August 26 through September 2, 2013. Whether used for ceremonial purposes, as a meditation space, a place to hold rituals, to find shade in the sunlight, or interact with the illumination, by night—we intend this piece to be useful for each individual's own unique purpose.
After returning from Burning Man 2013, the Templum Caelestis Oculus will be stored and will return to grace the playa in the future, in another, evolved, form. We firmly believe that while creation is important, so is evolution. The materials dedicated and money spent on this project will be utilized again, maybe not in its original form, but in a new way. It will live on. Reinvent and reincarnate. Just as do each of us, when we leave the playa and return again.
