Leader: President Ikililou Dhoinine
Government: Republic
Population: 770,000 (3,300 Christians)
Main Religion: Islam
Persecution Level: Moderate
Source of persecution: Islamic extremism
The rise of radical Islamic sympathies among the population at large, government officials, religious leaders and Muslim youth groups in particular causes anxiety among Christians. Christians are facing severe pressure due to their faith. According to an Open Doors expert, Islam and only Islam is effectively endorsed at the national level and converts to Christianity are persecuted severely in their private lives. Foreigners are allowed to practice their Christian religion but must not proselytize at the threat of being deported. There seems to be less space for Christian church life to develop and flourish.

text: At Seahawks Game, Cops Dress as ... 49ers Fans Fans are having a hard time keeping their hands to themselves By Polly Davis Doig, Newser Staff Posted Sep 15, 2013 11:38 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (28) (Newser) – Apparently, Seattle Seahawks fans have gotten thuggish to the point that police are going undercover for today's game—dressed in 49ers jerseys, in a tactic aimed squarely at curbing fan fights and attacks. "The goal here is to get people to be on their best behavior," says a police spokesman. The Seahawks are making fans who get kicked out pay for and take a four-hour online course—in the apparently hard-to-grasp concept of how to behave like a human being—before they'll be let back inside. The Seahawks say 50 people have graduated NFL charm school, reports KIRO TV. KIRO quotes a guy who got his face smashed for the sin of wearing a Packers jersey: "My eye I couldn't open the first night, my nose had to be rebroken the following week." Depressing? At least Taiwanese animators have gotten in on the action. San Francisco 49ers fans react during the second half of NFL Super Bowl XLVII against the Baltimore Ravens, Sunday, Feb. 3, 2013, in New Orleans.

U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz on Wednesday netted what may be the first union endorsement in the 2014 Democratic primary for Pennsyvlania governor.
United Steelworkers Local 10-1 backed Schwartz, citing her work with other political leaders to keep open refineries in Marcus Hook, Trainer and Philadelphia. Sunoco and Conoco Phillips threatened closure in 2011, putting 2,600 jobs at risk.
"When faced with the possibility of a devastating plant closure, Congresswoman Schwartz immediately went to work on our behalf without waiting to asked," USW Local 10 President Jim Savage said in a statement. "We appreciate her efforts and we know that all Pennsylvania working families will benefit from her leadership, which we experienced first-hand."

Gov. Corbett had his monthly hourlong radio show Tuesday morning with host Dom Giordano on WPHT 1210 the Big Talker. Some highlights:
Corbett said news reports of protests during his commencement speech at Millersville University over the weekend were exaggerated. "Now there was a large crowd --. 1200 people sitting on the football field in front of us. Some turned their backs. Fine. They were courteous; they didn't disrupt the ceremony for anyone else. That's why we have the First Amendment, it's a wonderful tool."
The governor also said he was confident that there would be a liquor privatization bill on his desk by June 30, though he did betray some irritation with the Senate's slow pace.

If Democrat Joe Sestak wins his party's primary and runs against incumbent Republican Sen. Pat Toomey in 2016, it would be the first rematch of major party candidates in Pennsylvania's history of U.S. Senate elections, according to a review by the blog Smart Politics.
Pennsylvania has held 38 special and general elections for U.S. Senate since 1914, when the state began choosing senators based on direct popular vote. In that time, a defeated candidate has never sought and earned the right to take another shot at the victor, Smart Politics found. The data-driven blog is written by Eric Ostermeier, a researcher at the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School of Public Affairs.

Former U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak announced in an email Tuesday morning that he is forming an exploratory committee to run for the Senate in 2016, setting up a likely rematch with incumbent Republican Sen. Pat Toomey.
That explains where the $460,000 Sestak raised in the first quarter is going to go. The announcement also comes a day after Pennsylvania Republicans filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, saying Sestak had violated campaign-finance regulations by raising the money without declaring what office he was seeking.
Democrats, too, have been trying to divine Sestak's intent. He was the party's 2010 nominee for U.S. Senate, losing to Toomey, but had been talking to some supporters about possibly jumping into the Democratic primary for the nomination to run against Gov. Corbett in 2014.
Thomas Fitzgerald, Inquirer Politics Writer
Former U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak (D.,Pa.) likes to hold his plans close, saying that he is interested in "public service" but refusing to discuss whether that means he is aiming at the 2014 governor's race, or the Senate race two years later.
Sestak's strategic vagueness is illegal, according to the Pennsylvania Republican Party, which has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission arguing that since Sestak has raised more than $5,000 in his federal campaign account, he must file a statement of candidacy that describes the office he is seeking. Sestak also should have filed a personal financial disclosure, the complaint says.

It's become an article of faith in national politics that Pennsylvania is pretty much out of reach for Republican presidential candidates.
But Amy Walter, the top-flight analyst who is national editor of The Cook Political Report, argues in a new piece that Pennsylvania holds the biggest promise for the GOP in 2016. Not only is it gettable, but it has a big enough cache of electoral votes to offset losses elsewhere.
Thomas Fitzgerald, Inquirer Politics Writer
This is becoming a drumbeat: Wednesday brings another bad poll for Gov. Corbett.
Only one in four Pennsylvania voters believes he has performed well enough in office to deserve reelection, according to a Franklin & Marshall College poll released Wednesday. Perhaps it's not surprising that the number is even lower among Democrats (12 percent) and even independent voters (20 percent), but the pollsters also find that 48 percent of his fellow Republicans believe Corbett deserves reelection.
Thomas Fitzgerald, Inquirer Politics Writer
U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz on Tuesday announced the appointment of nine top operatives for her campaign for the 2014 Democratic nomination for governor:
Rich Davis, partner in the Davis/Dixon Media Group, will be the media consultant. Davis has worked with Schwartz for 14 years, including her 2004 election to Congress. The firm's clients include Govs. Martin O'Malley (Md.) and Maggie Hassan (N.H.) as well as U.S. Sens. Claire McCaskill (Mo.) , Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Debbie Stabenow (N.Y.), Kay Hagan (N.C.), Mazie Hirono (Hawaii),Mark Udall (Colo.), Jeff Merkley (Ore.), and Brian Schatz (Hawaii).
Pete Brodnitz, Beneson Strategy Group, will be the pollster. In Pennsylvania, he worked for Kathleen Kane last year, helping her win the Democratic primary and go on to become the first woman elected attorney general in state history. He is perhaps best known for two wins in Virginia – Gov. Tim Kaine in 2005 and Sen. Jim Webb in 2006 – widely considered the breakthrough that turned the perception of the state from red to purple.

Good game overall, the only part I didnt like was that your could run into bosses and kill them in one hit, or een after you repawn in the final level, your shield would give you a free kill on the boss by running into them.
Thanks. Working on a fix for the "Suicide kills" right this minute ( That sounds a bit like a developer lie doesn't it ). I hadn't even thought about using the forcefield to kill them with, so thanks for mentioning that.

GREEN BAY – Charles Woodson is getting close.
The Green Bay Packers veteran safety said on Nov. 22 that it would "be a little while longer" before he returned from his broken collarbone, and apparently, he's now on the verge of returning.
While Packers coach Mike McCarthy didn't sound optimistic that Woodson would play next Sunday night against Detroit at Lambeau Field, he did sound encouraged by Woodson's progress.
"Charles is probably … I would think maybe next week would be my guess there," McCarthy said, referring to the team's Dec. 16 game at Chicago. "If you ask Charles, he's probably pushing to play this week. There's some more testing that you have to do to make sure he's cleared. He's not been cleared yet."
Woodson suffered the injury on Oct. 21 at St. Louis and has missed the past five games, including Sunday's 23-14 victory over Minnesota. Woodson was on the sideline for the game and didn't appear to have any problems while disputing a personal foul penalty on teammate Tramon Williams
Defensive coordinator Dom Capers said Woodson has been at practice and has even participated – sort of.
"The first step will be to get him back on the practice field and see where he is. He's been coming out and running some routes on the service team and doing those types of things, so I don't think there's any problem with his movement and that," Capers said Monday. "It's just when they feel it's time that he can go ahead and take some blows on that shoulder."
Meanwhile, McCarthy had no substantive update on outside linebacker Clay Matthews, who missed his third straight game Sunday with the hamstring injury he suffered Nov. 4 against Arizona.
"I know Clay worked out today," McCarthy said. "I have not gotten the results of that yet down in the Hutson Center."
Matthews did not practice last week in advance of the Vikings game, but he was not immediately ruled out at the start of the week and was supposed to revisit the possibility of practicing last Friday. He wound up not practicing and sitting out again.

We're kind of fans of pico projectors around here, even if finding a way to justify spending big cash on them is occasionally a little hard. Sanwa's just unleashed a cheap little pico that may just be worth the money. There's nothing terribly standout about the Sanwa 400 PRJ-001 -- a Himax LCoS projector with a 640 x 480 resolution, USB connectivity and the little guy weighs in at only 85 grams. The best part of the story here, is of course, the price -- for $119, well, maybe we'll grab two. We can't be sure it's the cheapest pocket projector in the history of micro projecting, but it's pretty close. Hit up the source link to buy one for yourself.

ADF has won the 61 of those cases decided – a most recent one being against the University of Wisconsin, a perennial base for anti-Christian sentiment and one that's spurred several lawsuits in the last decade. Just last month, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear UW's appeal of an appellate court ruling in favor of a student ministry at the university's Madison campus.
The case, Badger Catholic v. Walsh, stemmed from the refusal of UW officials to allow the ministry the same kinds of student activity fee funding that the university makes available to other registered student groups on campus. Their reason for withholding the money: the Badger Catholics' events include prayer, worship, and sharing their faith.
The university's policy marked such a blatant attack on the students' rights as protected by the First Amendment that a string of courts – culminating in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit – ruled flatly against them. And this is only the latest in a slew of clear-cut, ADF-backed cases dating back to 1995, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Rosenberger v. Rector and Visitors of University of Virginia that a school couldn't provide funding for every campus student publication except the Christian one.
But the universities' bigotry isn't limited to mere budgetary considerations.
Full disclosure: ADF represented the plaintiffs in each of these cases, which all have two more things in common: (1) the schools involved lost their case – expensively – in court. (Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer, how do you suppose they made back the money?) And (2), they are all the tip of the iceberg in an academic Cold War against Christians.
Across America, an estimated 274 public universities currently have speech codes that can be used to shut down points of view that a student, professor, or administrator might find "offensive." (At Penn State, officials even went so far as to say that "intolerance will not be tolerated.") And nothing offends the academic Left faster than a Bible, a prayer, or a Christian with a conscience.
Of course, ultimately, it's not the people of faith that the Left objects to – it's the faith itself. Their hatred is really aimed at a Truth that galls them to the deep, deep places of their souls…in the place where sins, and the need for a God bigger than themselves, can't be denied.
They won't go there. They can't shut Him up. So they're bent on removing some of the best students and most thoughtful professors they have. If that means destroying not just good people, but the holiest freedoms endowed by that Creator and ever cherished by mankind – well, surely that's not too high a price to pay, for delusion?

The Wanted's Tony Parker: Christina Aguilera "Is a Total Bitch"
Them's fightin' words!
British boy band The Wanted performed their new single on The Voice last week--and didn't hold back when asked about their experience in a recent interview with radio station Now FM.
Judge Christina Aguilera "is a total bitch," the band's Tony Parker ranted in the video, which has since been yanked from YouTube. "She might not be a bitch in real life, but to us, she was a total bitch. She just sat there and didn't speak to us. Wouldn't even look at us."
VOTE: Celebrity feuds - whose side are you on?
"She was quite rude," his bandmate, Siva Kaneswaran, added. "Who does that?"
Max George--who shared a friendly backstage smooch with Jennifer Lopez when the group recently stopped by American Idol--agreed with his pals' assessments. "She was a bit scary, to be honest."
PHOTOS: Blake, Christina, Cee Lo and Adam before they were on The Voice
When asked to compare their time on the two shows, George explained, "J. Lo's hot, Christina's nothing special."
The Wanted performed on The Voice the same night Justin Bieber showed up to debut a preview of his "Boyfriend" video--and say Aguilera was equally cold to the "Baby" crooner, making a face as Bieber went in for a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
PHOTOS: Christina Aguilera's body evolution
Aguilera, for her part, denies she snubbed the 18-year-old.
"Haha," the singer tweeted last Wednesday. "Can't a girl have a little Bieber Fever after getting kissed by the Biebs?"

The cushion portion 11 maybe made from any suitable elastic material as, for example, a suitable rubber or a suitable foam plastic material. As illustrated in FIGS. 3, and 4, a suitable cushion or bumper 10 is mounted around the periphery of the carrier member rigid portion 8. The bumper 10 may be made from any suitable elastic material as, for example, a suitable rubber or foam plastic material which is adhered to the outer periphery of the rigid portion 8 by any suitable means, as by a suitable adhesive.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the dust mop is provided with a mop handle 14 which has its lower end threadably attached to a handle attachment means generally indicated by the numeral 13. As shown in FIG. 2, the handle attachment means 13 includes a tube or sleeve 15 which has a threaded bore in its upper end that threadably receives the lower end of the handle 14. A pair of spaced apart legs 16 are integrally mounted on the lower end of the sleeve 15 and they are disposed on the opposite sidesof an attachment tongue 18 and they are pivotally connected to the tongue 18 by a suitable rivet 17. The attachement tongue 18 is integrally formed on the upper end of an attachment plate 19 which is formed integral with an attachment tube 20.
The attachment plate 19 is swivelly attached to the.
carrier member 9 by the following described structure. An elongated horizontal pivot rod 21 is carried by the tube 20 and it extends through suitable apertures in a pair of upstanding ears 23 of a suitable U-shaped attachment clip means which has an elongated longitudinally disposed body portion 24. The apertured ears 23 are integrally formed at the ends of the body portion 24. The U-shaped attachment clip means is disposed in an elongated longitudinal concave recess 26 which is formed in the upper surface of the rigid carrier portion 8 and is secured in place by a pair of suitable screws 25.
The pivot rod 21 is provided with a suitable head 22 on one end thereof and with a lock nut 27 on the other end thereof. A plastic washer 28 is mounted around the pivot rod 21 at each end of the attachment plate 19. It will be seen that by adjusting the lock nut 27, a controlled degree of swivel tension can be provided. The swivel tension can thus be adjustedto the individual users preference.
The mop head 12 includes a mop element 29 which is made from a suitable material as, for example, a cot- The mop element 29 is secured to a mop element backing material 30 by any suitable adhesive in the usual manner. The backing material 30 may be of any suitable material, as for example, a non-woven cloth material. One suitable non-woven fiber cloth material is an unwoven polypropylene fiber cloth material.
The mop element backing material 30 includes an extension 31 along either side thereof, and said extensions 31 function as attachment flaps. The attachment flaps 31 are brought upwardly around the sides of the carrier member 9 and they are then folded over the top thereof and are secured to the carrier member 9 by the following described means.
As shown in FIG. 4, each end of the carrier member rigid portion 8 is provided with a pair of vertical holes or seats 32 in each of which is press fitted a retainer cup 33. Each retainer cup 33 includes a cylindrical body 34 and an integral top wall 35 in which is formeda pair of cross slits 36. The cups 33 are made from a flexible plastic or any other suitable flexible material so that the portions of the cup wall between the slits 36 are flexible, whereby the attachment flaps 31 may be quickly and easily secured to the carrier member 9 by pressing the attachment flap portion overlaying each cup downwardly into the slits 36 to form an inwardly extended loop 37 as shown in FIG. 3. The portions of the cup wall 35 between the slits 36 then spring upward and hold the attachment flaps 31 in place.
It will be seen that the dust mop of the present invention provides a structure wherein the mop head 12 may be easily attached in place on the carrier 9, and be removed therefrom in a quicker and more efficient manner than the prior art type mop structures which include tie straps or snaps or other means of attaching the mop head to a carrier frame of some sort. The disposable mop element of the present invention is adapted to be used in the same manner as the prior art mops. However, it will be seen that the disposable mop element 12 of the present invention is a labor saving device and is economical, since for hosptial use it does not need recleaning, treating, and sterilizing for further use. The mop element of the present invention is economical to make and accordingly, it may be used only once and then disposed of. The mop element 12 of the present invention may be sold in a sealed bag to prevent contamination ofthe treated mop during shipment and storage before it is used.
While it will be apparent that the preferred embodiment of the invention herein disclosed is well calculated to fulfill the objects above stated, it will be appreciated that the invention is susceptible to modification, variation and change.

Problems Again Beset Firehouse Repair
Byline: Matthew Cella, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The renovation of a historic firehouse at 4300 Wisconsin Ave. NW that was begun in June 2002 and scheduled to be completed two months ago is not expected to be complete before spring.
The project, which was already rebid once after the first contractor was fired by the city in July 2003, also has been riddled with problems.
The firehouse is one of several capital projects that have posed problems for the District, including the Washington Convention Center, which had a $650 million budget and was completed in 2003 at a cost of $834 million.
Field reports obtained by The Washington Times show that an independent inspector hired by the District has cited the contractor, Garcete Construction Co. Inc., 81 times for unsafe conditions, substandard workmanship and failures to obtain construction permits.
In a letter dated Sept. 9, city contracting officer Karen Hester warns the contracting company that the District is "very concerned" that the company will fail to meet the Oct. 20 completion deadline. She noted that as of a July 26 progress meeting, the job was 48 percent complete.
The job originally was supposed to be completed Aug. 12, but city officials and Garcete Construction negotiated a 69-day extension to Oct. 20.
According to a field report filed on Oct. 4, the job was still only 59 percent complete.
Dave Aggarwal, the project manager, disputed that estimate.
"Right now, it's about 75 percent done," he said, adding that the company has worked with the District to correct the problems detailed in the rejection notices.
Additional documents show that city officials were satisfied that deficiencies cited in 37 of the 83 notices had been corrected, while 45 remained outstanding. The status of one could not be determined.
Mr. Aggarwal could not say when the project would be complete, saying that there are "still a couple of issues" that have to be resolved. …

Re: Lesson 1, p32, Catalog window, graphsBWSFieldStation2014 Feb 21, 2012 4:37 AM (in response to BWSFieldStation2014)As soon as I opened ArcGIS this morning, I saw the problem (funny how that happens). For various reasons, when starting the exercises in this book, I elected to store my work in a location other than the one that the book recommended (i.e. C:\UGIS\ParkSite\MapsAndMore\). Consequently, of course I would not have seen the author's "graphs" in the folder that I, myself, had created. Duh.
Re: Lesson 1, p32, Catalog window, graphstormsby-esristaff Feb 21, 2012 7:21 AM (in response to BWSFieldStation2014)Hi Brian,
let us know if you have any problems down the road because of this--for example, if graphs or other map files have trouble finding the paths to their source data. When we tested the book, we assumed people would use the prescribed folders and didn't consider what might happen otherwise. It's a good point and we'll take a closer look at it before updating the book.

1. Re: Email Blast Throughput on MEG7landyboy20 Mar 21, 2013 12:28 PM (in response to landyboy20)
So we sort of resolved the issue.
We created an IIS SMTP connector on a server and pointed Campaign Manger 10to it (this is our legacy spam mailer) and then had it send to our MEG 7cluster.
We noticed speeds go from about 300 emails every 10 min to 400 emails in 30sec.
Next I changed the setting on the IIS server to be what support recommended,1 email per connection, and saw the speed jump to about 7 seconds for the same400 emails.
So basically there is something about how Campaign manager sends email tothe MEG that it does not like and it really slows down the sending.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

The syrah vines at Bien Nacido's Z-Block were planted exclusively for Qupé in 1992; by 2006, they began to reach a sweet spot in their adolescence. Where earlier vintages of Hillside Estate may have been awkward on release, this '06 feels confident and sure, wrapping raspberry and plum flavors in strong tannins that mix smoke and earth. It gains freshness with air, the fruit lifted by peppery spice and cool acidity. It will reward patient cellaring.
Vivid ruby color. Smoky red and dark berry aromas are complemented by nuances of cracked pepper, dried flowers and apricot pit. Pliant, gently sweet black raspberry and cassis flavors are framed by dusty tannins that quickly fade into the lush fruit. Packs a good punch but doesn't come off heavy, finishing with good clarity and echoes of rose and smoky spices and herbs. This is delicious right now.

I'm trying to sell my mare, but the problem is, I have no idea how to make a video.
She's a registered Half-Arabian, but she's so stocky and she doesn't have the Arab type I associate with the standard "turn loose in arena and film the pretty pony" video. Her training level is such that a riding video would probably turn more buyers off.
The only real skill she has is that she is a really, really good showmanship horse. Is it tacky to include a showmanship pattern?
Help, please? What should I include in my mare's sale video?

When will they ever learn--these guys are COMPULSIVE. They do not STOP. And he's a physician--a profession that many people trust and respect without question. Ugh. When the publicity/dust settles, I will bet he'll be back at his activities. Or worse!
The fact that he's a physician played into this, you can bet. If it was a truck driver the sentence would be a lot worse. And a physician has a lot more access to children than a truck driver--or many other professions!
They should be ashamed of this sentence.

Google has acquired retail coupon firm Incentive Targeting for an undisclosed sum.
Google's Mike Dudas, a member of the team building Google's mobile commerce business, confirmed the news on Twitter.
"Google acquires Incentive Targeting to power highly targeted manufacturer and private label coupon programmes," he said.
A coupon campaign is a sales method where customers can redeem coupons to receive a discount.
Massachusetts-based Incentive Targeting was founded in 2007 by Ben Sprecher, now serving as vice president of marketing, and Joshua Herzig-Marx, now vice president of products and services. Its CEO is experienced start-up executive Win Burke.
On its website the start-up states that it "partners with retail chains to provide a targeted marketing service to manufacturers of grocery and consumer products".
In July, the firm was granted a US patent for "a computer-implemented method and system for conducting a search of electronically stored information". It filed for the patent in April 2008. The system allows marketers to view sales information, analyse trends, and use the information for forthcoming coupon campaigns.
Although financial terms were not disclosed, Boston-based publication Xconomy claims that the firm has raised a total of $4.4m (£2.7m) in funding.
In a statement on the company's website, its co-founders said: "When we founded Incentive Targeting in 2007, we set out to do for retail couponing what Google had done for online advertising: make it simple, relevant, measurable and effective. So, it is both humbling and gratifying to be joining the ranks of the company that inspired our initial vision.
"As part of Google, we will have the resources and expertise to continue the transformation of couponing from a way to give discounts to a way to build business."

Production rates, environmental impacts of using ATVs to
harvest small diameter material
Many restoration prescriptions specify the removal of numerous
understory trees (less than 8 inches in diameter) to reduce forest
density and eliminate ladder fuels that contribute to crown fires.
Conventional harvesting equipment has been designed primarily for
handling large saw log-size trees and is therefore very inefficient
when used to manipulate and move numerous small trees. This study
examined the utility of a small-wheeled skidding arch that can be
attached to a four-wheel-drive ATV, documented the production rates
using such equipment in a forest thinning operation, and monitored
the environmental impact of such a forest thinning operation conducted
on the Fraser Experimental Forest. Guidelines for the use of such
equipment will be developed. Skidding arch has been demonstrated
at the Smallwood Conference in Albuquerque and local field trips.
We designed, constructed and successfully tested a small-wheeled
skidding arch that can be attached to a four-wheel-drive ATV and
used to skid small diameter logs (see Figure below). The arch allows
one end of attached logs to be raised off the ground allowing the
ATV to easily pull the log out of the forest. Raising the log also
reduces damage to the forest floor. The results of a replicated
time/motion study of the ATV arch that we conducted in lodgepole
pine thinning plots at the Fraser Experimental Forest in central
Colorado indicate that productions rates of up to four cords per
day are possible over skidding distances up to 1400 ft. The equipment
had negligible effects on soil compaction and water absorption capacity.
To Reduce Catastrophic Fires and Produce a Long-term Biomass
Supply for Energy Production
In a cooperative study with Oak Ridge National Lab, Shepperd and
others explored a modeling approach to evaluate management necessary
to reduce catastrophic fires and produce a long-term biomass supply
for energy production in forests in California, Southwest, and the
Front Range of Colorado.

Wood consumption in Colorado
One aspect of the utilization of small-diameter material is the
availability of markets for products. Lynch and Mackes have conducted
research estimating the kinds, uses, amount and retail value of
wood products consumed in Colorado. From their research, it is evident
that Colorado has a substantial wood market and is dependent on
other states and countries for this wood consumed. We worked with
Dr. Dennis Lynch and Dr. Kurt Mackes to publish their work on wood
consumption in Colorado.

of the Twenty-First Century. Research Paper RMRS-RP-32. Fort Collins,

Opportunities for Making Wood Products from Small Diameter
Trees in Colorado
Experimental ecological restoration studies using thinning and
prescribed fire have been conducted at several locations across
Colorado during the past 5 years to determin if high-risk areas
could be treated to improve forest health and reduce the potential
for catastrophic fires. These studies establishe htat 80 to 96 percent
of the trees removed were between 5 and 11.9 inces in diameter.
A search for opportunities to use small diameter trees from these
projects was conducted as part of an effort to improve the financial
feasibility of forest restoration. The potential opportunities for
using wood exist in both existing products, processes, and technology,
and in new products, processes and technology.

Mechanical Testing of Wood Pieces produced from small Diameter
Trees harvested from Ponderosa Pine Forests along the Front Range
of Colorado
Planned forest restoration activities along the Front Range of
Colorado will result in the harvest of large volumes of small diameter
trees. This study will address the existing questions about the
properties of the wood cut from these trees, due to the unknown
effects on wood quality resulting from growth conditions found in
the forests where they grow. Knowledge of the mechanical properties
of this wood is critical for use in the structural applications.

For the first time in a couple years, Florida State is once again the center of attention looking ahead to the upcoming football season. Coming off a WIN-win season with a Chick Fil-A Bowl victory over South Carolina, the Seminoles will return 17 starters and have already been dubbed a favorite to win the ACC next season.
But they will have to do so without Christian Ponder, who threw for 2,000 yards every season from 2008-2010. Luckily for head coach Jimbo Fisher, Ponder's replacement has gotten plenty of experience. During Ponder's last two seasons, rising junior E.J. Manuel has seen significant time under center for the Seminoles. As a whole Manuel has been a little spotty, but his play in the ACC Championship Game and following bowl game has Seminole fans expecting big things. His head coach seems to believe that the junior is ready for the spotlight.
"That's E.J.'s nature," Fisher said about Manuel feeling pressure, "but I don't think that's pressure that he can't handle, or things that he knows that he can do. Like you said, the thing that he can revert back to is the fact that he's done this before and he's been successful. I expect him to handle it very well, but I do expect him to challenge himself."
Manuel entered then the second quarter when Ponder left with a concussion. The talented quarterback seized control of the program in those final three quarters, completing 11 of 15 passes for a touchdown and rushing the ball seven times for 46 yards. When South Carolina clipped the Seminoles' lead to 2 with under 12 minutes remaining, Manuel orchestrated a perfect 26 play, 63 yard drive that finished by finding Taiwan Easterling in the end zone to seal the victory for Florida State.
In Florida State's spring game however, Manuel struggled to make a similar impression. He struggled to get settled, completing just 17 of 36 passes in the intrasquad scrimmage. The performance might have gone less noticed were it not for the 53,818 fans in attendance.
But even with the off-day in Doak Campbell Stadium, few around Tallahassee are concerned about Manuel's ability to lead this team. Fellow teammates continue to mention his presence in the locker room and huddle, and despite spring frustrations he has remained focus on the Florida State's goal of bringing the ACC Championship back to Tallahassee.

Fisher: E.J. Manuel ready for the pressure
EJ will be fine. Jimbo was running a vanilla offense, and the looks the defense were given were quite exploitable. They didn't have to check the run, because there was no presence up front on the O-line. This meant EVERY play could be treated as a passing play. EJ threw into double coverage twice, and never took off with his feet.
This is not the EJ you will see this fall. Why? Because EJ knows how to run, and he will have a running game to give him a thinner secondary.
Spring football = nothing.

Re: Flac to M4A conversion ? in response to ment2b Solved
You've posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to be related to. However I'll give a stab at an answer.
Bit-rate alone is not an indicator of how good or bad the music will sound on your iPhone. You should experiment and see which one sounds best to you and go with that process.
Another thing you might want to consider doing is to convert the FLAC files to ALAC (Apple Lossless), add them to iTunes, then use iTunes to down convert the ALAC files as you sync them to the iPhone. There are several options for bit-rates you can choose from.

We were all amazed at this fascinating accommodation. It's a one of a kind experience and to live inside the walls of Old Rhodes made us feel very priviledged. The house more than met our needs, and the architecture, convenience, location and feel of being there wa so unique. Also very safe and easy to walk over to places to eat and shop. The owners gave us total privacy and were very kind. …

The apartment is perfectly located for the Old Town and literally five minutes away one way is a large beach, five minutes the other way another beach! The apartment is tiny but has everything you need, I spent most of my time there sitting on the balcony watching the world go by! The roof terrace is totally private, which I loved. The size of the terrace is a big surprise as you don't expect it…

Just place a dot where your home is. The call lured curious area residents like bees to a honey pot to the circular mosaic outside Tillie's of Brooklyn, where a community project is underway to document local domains – dot by dot. The mural, a nine-foot circle map of the neighborhood created by artist Ellie Balk in partnership with SONYA (South of the Navy Yard Artists) Mural Arts Project, was dedicated on the Vanderbilt Avenue side of the whimsical coffee house, 248 DeKalb Avenue, where local dwellers were invited to locate their home and record it for posterity with a dab of paint. "The goal of Tillie's Community Mural is to unify and bridge the varying aspects of the local community, giving all people a sense of connectedness," said Balk. The mural intersects the neighborhoods of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, whose residents flock to the coffee house – named in memory of Tillie Asnis, who ran a dry cleaning business in the 1940s and '50s – as much for its eats and drinks as for its performance arts space, which features an open mic on Thursdays and frequent performances by local musicians.

Yeah I've got my dream, but I guess it got away from me
**Then the breakdown (w/ harmonica), John continually plays the following progression:
A, Asus (for 4 counts of 4, building up)
**(once the drums start)
A, D, A, (F#m, D, A x3)
Here is the (only) current recording/video of John playing this song. Enjoy. It's a great song.
I'm pretty sure "Asus" is 5x765x . At least that is what I saw from his letterman performance. Otherwise, this helped a lot, thanks!
My mistake. I think you're right after all.

Still, the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) requires that customers be notified before a utility shuts off power to their residence.
In addition, the PUC does not permit electricity or gas service to be disconnected at a time when utility service and support may be unavailable, such as over a weekend or a holiday.
As for notifying customers, according to PUC rules, the provider must deliver or send by first-class mail a written shut-off notice at least 15 days before the disconnection date.
In addition, after that notice is provided, and at least 24 hours prior to the discontinuance of service, the PUC requires companies to attempt to give the customer notice of the disconnection either in person or by telephone.
It would seem that Xcel violated these rules when it did not notify Lindstrom or her neighbor of the pending outage.
But Boland says Xcel does not attempt the 24-hour notification if it has no customer of record on file.
He acknowledges that situations like Lindstrom's give Xcel executives pause about how to handle such situations, but in most cases, Xcel gets a phone call from a resident when an occupied residence loses power.
"We haven't had anyone freeze to death," Boland says.
But he admits that there have been deaths when customers lose power and then try to heat their home with alternate methods. He said the residents of one Minnesota home died many years ago after their heat was discontinued and they pulled their lit charcoal grill into the house to use it as a source of warmth.
Xcel, as required by Colorado PUC rules, will hold off on discontinuing service to a customer for two months if the company receives a doctor's note — documentation of a medical issue that requires continued power, such as a resident who relies on an electric-powered ventilator.
Boland says the company also does its best to avoid any accidental deaths by being diligent about trying to identify the people responsible for paying the utility bills. For example, Boland says Xcel uses tax records to track down the owner of a property if there is no customer of record for an extended period of time.

But Lindstrom wonders why Xcel wasn't able to track down her, her neighbors or her landlady regarding the outstanding electricity bill, which grew to about $619 by Jan. 12. After all, she says, Xcel contacted her in October about the amount she owed for the overdue gas charges, which was also amassing, unbeknownst to Lindstrom, although at a much slower rate, since her stove is the only gas-powered appliance in the house. "They knew to contact my landlady for the gas, but not the electric," she says.
At that time, Lindstrom again asked Xcel to be sure that all of the meters for the house were being billed to her. For the second time, the company failed to follow through on that request, she says, and the electricity charges for her neighbor's unit — and heat for the entire house — continued to pile up.
In October, when she asked why Xcel had not contacted her earlier about the nonpayment of the gas bill, they told her it was because it was only a small amount. "But it became a big enough deal for them to come and shut the electricity off," Lindstrom says.
After his interview with Boulder Weekly about the oversight, Boland spoke with Lindstrom and offered to eliminate her outstanding $619 in back charges, an offer that Lindstrom accepted.
But says that she was willing to pay for the service she received and that she remains frustrated that the company twice failed to add all of the house's meters to her bill and did not notify her of the outage before it happened.
For his part, Boland says Lindstrom's case is not an unusual one.
"It's fairly common," he says. "It was an unfortunate situation, but there wasn't a whole lot of usage coming off that particular meter."
Where to turn:
If you have questions about your Xcel service or billing, call 1-800-895- 4999. If you experience an unexpected power outage, call the company's 24-hour hotline at 1-800-895-1999. To file a claim with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission's consumer complaint division, call 303-894-2070.

I see people actually believe the AJC's news before it is printad. the AJC needs to do some fact checking out first; before offering their "opinions"
I watched the Alabama people call Gov Cristie a liar as I watched the news. Gov Christie spoke out of both sides of his mouth when he talked about the storm...I wish I had copied it. .Misinformation in the poll of Dec. 2 needs to be corrected concerning non-union utility crews being refused work in areas hit by Hurricane Sandy. Don't believe anything the likes of Rush, Boortz, Beck, Cain, Faux 'News' or Rove have to say unless you are just getting a chuckle out of their so-called 'entertainment.' This is a quote from the Atlanta Journal with correct information concerning this matter: 'There were initial reports of non-union utility crews from Alabama being turned away by New Jersey, but a spokesman with Jersey Central Power & Light denied this, telling News 12 New Jersey: 'We have not turned away any help. Absolutely not.' Crews from California, Idaho, Kentucky, Florida, Michigan and North Carolina were working in New Jersey just days after Hurricane Sandy. Crews from Alabama went to New Jersey to offer assistance but were sent to Long Island, according to nj.com and al.com, websites for newspaper groups in New Jersey and Alabama. One crew returned home over confusion about paperwork and another crew went to Denton, Md.' The Republican Party caused their own problems by not silencing the extreme right-wing Nazi gasbags who are paid millions of dollars to espouse what the super wealthy want you to believe. That fact along with the voter suppression in red states sent eligible Democratic voters to the polls by the thousands who stood in line to vote even after the election had been called for President Obama. Did anyone else notice that the states with the best educated electorate and the highest living standards voted for the reelection of the president?" The AJC needs to check with the people who were in the hurricane. The citizens were and are the people helping. And the companies have checked these stories out. The unions prevented the help from coming to the eastern states. Check with the utilities in Al.

I wonder if the people understand that they have the freedom to run for public office. You see this is the United States of America. If you are a citizen you have the choice to get any one elected. 1) Talk someone into running for a specific office (ie school board) 2) Get others who believe the same as you to support you. 3) Get involved with the position you wish to run for. (learn the ins and outs of that office) 4) Get people to interview you concerning that post. 5) Get help at the polls; poll watchers; sign makers; people to help campaign etc. 6) pray for devine help through the entire campaign (this will insure you have a good relationship with God. If you are not saved, do that before you start so you will be worthy of His help.)
