The Best 3 Foods to Protect the Skin
By Tawnya Manion | July 23, 2013
We all apply sunscreen and cover up with big sunglasses and a hat, but did you know that what you eat can protect your skin too? Certain foods' antioxidants have the ability to protect the epidermis from UV rays; plants produce these natural agents to protect their own cells from decomposing, and when we consume the same compounds, they safeguard us from premature aging. So it's imperative when trying to take care of your skin to incorporate foods that contain copious amounts of vitamins and minerals, which will protect the body from the wear and tear of every day life. A little confused on which fare to eat for better defense against beams? Here are the Top Three Foods that can help protect you from sun damage. Read More

BW007: Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!
this wiki
Episode Plot
While having lunch on the way to the next city, Cilan discovers that all the food he prepared has been stolen. The group discovers that a Snivy has stolen the food and Ash as always attempts to capture it. He tries to weaken it with Pikachu, but the Snivy (which is female) uses Attract, making Pikachu unable to fight her. Ash sends Oshawott and Tepig out, but even they are being seducted by Snivy's charms.
Ash sends out Pidove to track the Snivy down, just as she comes across Team Rocket. Jessie tries to capture her, but fails when Snivy did a stylish backflip to avoid Jessie's Pokeball. Pidove finds the Snivy and signals Ash who tries to use Oshawott and then later Tepig, but they are also hit by the Attract attack eventually making Ash realize that they are Male as well. Ash finally uses Pidove with a little hope, to his surprise his Pidove is also Female hence unaffected by the Attract. As Ash weakens it, he finally captures Snivy and adds her to his team.
- This episode reveals the most genders of any main character's Pokémon, with Ash's Snivy, Pidove, Tepig and Oshawott having their genders revealed in this episode (Oshawott and Tepig are male while Snivy and Pidove are female).
- This is also the first episode since his travels in Johto that Ash has caught all three starter Pokémon from the same region. In Johto are: Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile. And in Unova are: Oshawott, Tepig, and Snivy.
- This is the first Best Wishes episode not to debut any new Pokémon.
- First time Oshawott comes out of its Pokeball once in the entire episode (in Martial Arts Style), while he comes out on its own twice in BW004: The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!.
- Ash's Snivy has a different voice actor from Trip's Snivy due to difference in gender (Trip's Snivy, later a Servine is male while Ash's Snivy is female).
- Professor Oak's Live Caster: Tepig

- Colorado gun-control laws go in effect Monday; critics fume
A far-reaching package of Democrat-sponsored gun-control bills will move closer to becoming law — or be halted — Monday when the Colorado Senate reconvenes.
Democrats hold a 20-15 majority in the Senate and were able to advance five bills Friday, despite more than 12 hours of impassioned floor debate largely from Republicans assailing the measures as flawed and ineffective.
Two bills, dealing with liability for assault-style weapons and a ban of concealed firearms on college campuses, were spiked by their sponsors Friday because they lacked the votes to pass the Senate.
The House, also controlled by Democrats, last month gave final passage to three of the bills that members of the Senate will vote on Monday, which:
• Require background checks for all gun transactions.
• Charge gun buyers a fee for background checks.
• Limit gun magazines to 15 rounds.
Democratic Sens. Cheri Jahn of Wheat Ridge and Lois Tochtrop of Thornton have said they'll vote no on the bill limiting ammunition magazines, and Republicans are optimistic another Democrat will come out in opposition — which would be enough to kill the bill.
Sen. Angela Giron, D-Pueblo, and Linda Newell, D-Littleton, have said they're undecided as to whether they'll support the bill.
Measures introduced in the Senate, and that if passed head to the House, would ban online training for concealed-handgun permits and restrict firearms for domestic-violence offenders.
If lawmakers pass the bill requiring Coloradans to pay for their own criminal-background checks, it will head to Gov. John Hickenlooper's desk to be signed into law, because it will have gone through both chambers unamended.
Hickenlooper, a Democrat, has indicated support for universal background checks and limits to ammunition magazines — though these bills would return to the House for a vote because each has been amended in the Senate.
"I can say I fully expect all five of these bills to pass out of the chamber," Senate President John Morse, a Colorado Springs Democrat, said over the weekend.

Coming of a 328 Attack stat further boosted either to 492 (By Choice-band) or 426 (By Life-orb) will destroy almost anything that is not immune/resistant to it. Horn-leech is STAB and healing, very good especially with Life-orb as it heals off the damage. Nature-power becomes Earthquake in Wi-fi and PO (Pokemon Online) so it is an obvious choice for coverage. Mega-horn or Wild-charge choose your coverage. His speed is 557 with Chlorophyll boost which allows you to outspeed anything that is not boosted, but if you really fear scarfed Pokemon you can put full EVs into speed. answered Apr 16, 2012 by Speed freak edited Apr 16, 2012 by Speed freak Summer form not only fits the role of SUN revenge killer but also is one of the coolest looking of his forms. commented Apr 16, 2012 by Speed freak Life orb multiplies damage by 1.3x, not attack stat commented May 2, 2012 by Saz Please log in or register to add a comment. 2 votes Then Theres This: Leech Seed/Horn Leech: To Heal Double Edge: Recoil can be recovered with the moves above.

Royal Talens Gouache is made with a unique dextrin-based binder that sets it apart from most other brands of gouache. This traditional formulation becomes more fluid as it is mixed, allowing you to cover large areas more evenly without dragging. And because dextrin-based binder is also less expensive than gum arabic binder, Royal Talens Gouache is an incredible value — great for artists and designers on a budget.
Royal Talens Gouache dries quickly to a matte finish, and all 60 colors are extremely opaque.
Set of 5 — This set contains five, 20 ml tubes including White, Lemon Yellow, Permanent Rose, Light Blue, and Black Intenso.
Set of 8 — This set contains eight, 20 ml tubes including White, Yellow, Lemon Yellow, Permanent Rose, Vermilion, Light Blue, Ultramarine Deep, and Black Intenso.
Color Chart Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.

LONDON (AP) - British Academy Film and Television Awards says 23-year-old British actress Juno Temple is one of five young stars shortlisted for the BAFTA Rising Star award.
Other actors in the running include Swedish actress Alicia Vikander, British-born Andrea Riseborough, Elizabeth Olsen of the United States and India's Suraj Sharma. The list was announced on Monday.
Temple says she is giddy about the nomination, especially as the winner will be chosen by the public.
Recently seen in William Friedkin's "Killer Joe," she appears in three movies at Sundance Film Festival and will also star with Angelina Jolie in Robert Stromberg's "Maleficent."
The BAFTA Film awards take place on Feb. 10 in London.

Thanks to Tom and "The Tom Joyner Morning Show," I have been blessed to travel the world, meet several U.S. presidents, an African president and a king – and see the best that this world, especially this country, has to offer. Now, the flip side of that is visiting New York City's Ground Zero one month after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and going to Port au Prince two months after the Haitian earthquake. Just when you think you've seen it all, along comes tornadoes that have destroyed the homes of friends and family.
The week before last, my cousin, Joe, and his wife, Theresa, rushed from their Atlanta, Georgia home to scoop up their daughters, students at Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina. Then last week, new devastation arrived in the wake of more tornadoes in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Virginia.
Hundreds, if not thousands, of homes have been lost. One morning, people kissed their loved ones, walked out of their houses, locked their doors and drove off to work or school. That afternoon, they rushed back to find … a pile of debris where their homes once stood. And their relatives? Fortunately, many were able to find and reconnect with mothers, fathers, children, brothers and sisters. Others were not so lucky. Even those who were together during the storms found themselves ripped out of each other's arms.
One mother and father were with their seven-week-old infant. The father was severely injured, but had the presence of mind to hand his child over to someone before he collapsed. The mother, a new mom – a woman who only held her child in her arms for about 50 days – did not survive.
Monday, I visited a town outside of Birmingham with the lovely name of Pleasant Grove. It certainly lives up to its name until you get to what can only be described as a DMZ – a demilitarized zone.

Paths to Success: Stephen Chmely

Paths to Success: Stephen Chmely
By Amie Lara
Children sometimes know what they want to be when they grow up, and Stephen Chmely went from a curious child wondering about science, to working on his doctorate in chemistry from Vanderbilt University.
"I was always that little kid that asked why. It was fun for me to study science, and when I got to college I knew I wanted to do something with science," he said.
His parents played a large role in his desire to get an education. "My dad is deceased. He was a history teacher and my mom is an elementary school teacher. Since they were both teachers they always stressed getting a good education," Chmely said.
Chmely took biology in high school and realized that he was more interested in chemistry. "I went more physical science than natural science in college."
"I took chemistry and biology and I had the opportunity to do labs. Labs in college are much different than labs in high school. Looking back, Vol State has a great program. It's a community college, but the chemistry program at Vol State is just like the programs at a four year university," Chmely said.
"I'd consider him one of my best students because he got an A on my final," said Dr. Chuck Snelling, associate professor of chemistry at Vol State.
"I couldn't have done what I did without the help of Professor Snelling. You have to be excited about the basics because I remember enjoying the class very much," Chmely said of his General Chemistry class.
From Vol State Chmely went on to get his Bachelor's of Science degree from Western Kentucky University, before going to Vanderbilt for his Ph.D.
Snelling has a Ph.D. in chemistry, and talked about how the dissertation process works, describing it with a humorous note. "It's kind of like a hazing ritual. You and your advisor have to pick a question that no one else can answer."
"I'm not really nervous. My professor told me that if I wrote along the way, it would be much easier to write my dissertation," Chmely said.
Chmely's dissertation is titled, "Sterically Demanding Ligands and Their Effect on the Structure and Reactivity of Main Group Metal Complexes." An overwhelming title for some to comprehend, but one of his goals is to teach in a way that students will be able to understand and enjoy science.
Publishing is an important part of the academic world. Chmely has seven published manuscripts. "The manuscripts are published via a peer review process," he said.
"We have a lot of Vol State students who go on to excel in academic studies. Stephen is an example of the reality that a solid foundation provided by a community college can provide. I think we are the regions' best kept secret. 50 percent of our full time and adjunct faculty in chemistry have Ph.D.s. They are here for their passion for teaching," said Nancy Morris, dean of Math and Science at Vol State.
Chmely and his wife Allison are expecting their first child in November. "We started dating while at Vol State. Right before I started graduate school at Vanderbilt, I got married in May 2006. We got married, moved, and I started my PhD at Vanderbilt within a two week period. It was stressful at first, but we made it through," he said.
"I work 365 days a year. If I'm not teaching classes, I'm doing research. The chemistry department pays for my tuition and gives me a stipend," he said.
Chmely explains why he wants to teach. "Chemistry is the study of the physical world where we all live. It is why the things in the world work. I think people would like chemistry more if they had someone to convey that; someone like me who likes chemistry and can teach it. That would be a fulfilling job."

The Volturi confrontation was a gathering of Volturi and Cullen allies in Forks, Washington, which nearly resulted in a massive battle between the two groups. Many powerful vampires were united on December 31st, 2006 in regards to the existence of Renesmee Cullen: a human-vampire hybrid.
Those involved included the entire Volturi coven, as well as the Olympic, Denali, Egyptian, Irish, Amazon, and Romanian covens, several nomadic vampires, one vampire hybrid; and the Uley and Black packs. The French coven is also involved in the movie.
Provoking event
A few months after the birth of Renesmee Carlie Cullen, Irina saw Bella, Jacob, and Renesmee hunting when she traveled to Forks. She rushed to the Volturi as she mistook the hybrid Renesmee for an immortal child. Soon after her report, Alice foresaw that the Volturi were planning a trip to Forks to punish the Cullens on this accusation.
While the Volturi gathered witnesses to watch their act of justice, the Cullens used the time to find their own. In the end, they received aid from a large group of vampires, among which a goodly number of covens, numerous nomadic vampires and another human/vampire hybrid, Nahuel, to demonstrate that Renesmee was neither an immortal child nor a threat.
Because of Alice's advance warning about the Volturi's hidden agenda to acquire more gifted vampires, the Cullens' allies used time to practice their powers in case an unwanted battle ensued. Zafrina and Kate helped Bella learn to expand her mental shield, which turned out to be crucial in protecting their allies from the mental attacks of the Volturi guard. Meanwhile, as more vampires entered the area, young local Quileutes turned into wolves, adding more members to the Uley and Black packs.
Bella's shield allowed a fair negotiation and trial of sorts to commence, rather than the Volturi's usual biased judgment taking place with those involved being incapacitated, and unable to speak in their own defense. After some discussion the Volturi concluded that Irina had made a terrible mistake and executed her. Tanya and Kate were enraged by Irina's death, but the Cullens and their allies were able to restrain them before they initiated a battle that would end badly for all involved. Eventually, while greatly saddened, they accepted that what Irina did was wrong.
Bella's power showed the advantage she gave to the Cullens and their allies as she blocks the Volturi's strongest weapons, inducing a sense of fear in Aro. In the movie, Alice showed Aro the vision of the Volturi's eventual demise if they did not leave the Cullens in peace.
Vladimir and Stefan of the Romanian coven were disappointed by the peaceful outcome, as they had hoped for a chance to attack the Volturi, but they did not instigate any hostile action.
Alice's vision
In the film Breaking Dawn - Part 2, Aro's plan to initiate the battle is thwarted by Alice's vision. Alice and Jasper arrive at the battleground, surprising everyone—especially Aro. Alice tells Aro that she has "proof" that Renesmee isn't a threat, to which Aro agrees to see. She then "shows" Aro her proof, but realizes that he is still adamant about a peaceful resolve. Alice then signals Bella, who then sends Jacob and Renesmee on their way.
Alice, seeing that Jacob and Renesmee are on their way to safety, delivers a kick to Aro's head, sending him to the back of his party. This infuriates Aro and he orders two of his guards to "take her away". Caius orders Santiago, one of the guard, to "get them"; referring to the escaping Jacob and Renesmee. Carlisle becomes infuriated at Aro taking Alice against her will and charges forward to save her; after easily knocking two of the Volturi guard aside, Carlisle is unfortunately beheaded by Aro and his body is burned by Caius. Carlisle's death immediately initiates a battle, with an enraged Edward leading both his vampire allies and wolves in the charge against the Volturi.
During the beginning of the battle, some of the Volturi's guards and witnesses are taken out very easily. Jane, seeing that Demetri is losing his fight to Jasper, attempts to use her tormenting gift to give Demetri the advantage. Bella immediately shields Jasper. Alec, Jane's brother, notices this and tackles Bella, which distracts her and her ability to shield. While Bella is distracted with an angry Alec, Jane takes the option to torment and incapacitate Jasper again; only this time Demetri, with the help of Felix, finally beheads him, infuriating Alice. An enraged Emmett sees Alec charging at Bella and rushes over, brutally beheading him before throwing his body near Jane. Alice then breaks free of her captors.
Meanwhile, Jacob and Renesmee are being pursued by Santiago in the forest nearby as they run.
Back at the battleground, Edward attempts to take Demetri out, but gets overpowered. Seth kills a Volturi guard. Jane incapacitates him with her power, and Felix moves in to kill him, which shocks his sister, Leah, who howls in grief. Jacob hears her and becomes instantly overwhelmed with sadness. Jacob is distracted and it gives Santiago a chance to catch up and carry on his attack, but Jacob is quick to snap out of his pain and kills Santiago. He then successfully escapes with Renesmee.
Benjamin, an ally of the Cullens, notices that the Volturi's party is pairing up against the Cullens and their allies. Benjamin uses his gift to create a sinkhole in the middle of the ground, allowing his side to use this as an opportunity to kill off more of the Volturi easily. The Cullens and their allies do so with the help of the Uley and Black packs. Esme is nearly killed when a Volturi guard falls into the hole with her, but Leah sacrifices herself to save her and falls into the sinkhole alongside the guard to their death. Both Sam--Alpha of the Uley pack--and Esme are deeply saddened by this. The ground continues to collapse, and Demetri pins Edward to the ground until the ground beneath him gives way, sending him into the sinkhole. Demetri--thinking he has finished Edward--is taken by surprise when Edward suddenly emerges from the sinkhole and, with a surprise attack, beheads Demetri.
Alice begins to charge at a panic-ridden Jane, dodging and taking down many of the Volturi guard and witnesses on the way. Jane tries to use her gift only to see that Alice is being shielded by Bella--who is standing nearby. Realizing that she doesn't have a chance without her gift, Jane begins to run away but Alice catches up to her and throws her at a waiting Sam - who then bites off her head and growls at Aro in defiance. Aro is devastated and infuriated by this as Caius, who is also infuriated at the Volturi's loss of allies, joins the fight. He attempts to take out Tanya, the leader of the Denali coven. Garrett, a nomadic vampire, comes to Tanya's aid and attacks Caius from the back; kicking him and sending him flying toward Kate, Tanya's sister. Kate uses her gift to immobilize Caius, allowing Tanya to partially behead and kill him; thus, avenging their sister Irina whom Caius had executed earlier during the confrontation. Stefan and Vladimir, two vampires who greatly despise the Volturi, charge at Marcus, a Volturi elder, who openly welcomes his death as the two of them easily sever his body.
Aro, infuriated by his amount of losses, finally joins the fight. Edward notices this and begins to charge toward him, as does Bella. Before Bella can attack Aro, he delivers a blow that sends her flying across the battleground into Edward's arms. A brief two-on-one scuffle dazes him for a moment and Edward then attempts to kill Aro himself only to be outperformed when Aro turns around and tries to behead him. Bella attacks Aro again, saving Edward from being beheaded. With the help of Edward, Bella is able to finally behead Aro.
Bella then grabs a torch and sets fire to Aro's head while, in the background, many of the Volturi's leftover guard members close in on both her and Edward. Aro's head is consumed by fire while Bella and Edward are likely killed by the Volturi's leftover agents.
The vision ends and we see a deathly frightened expression on the face of a very much alive Aro: everything that happened during the fight was simply a vision of what would happen if Aro initiated the battle. "Now you know. That's your future. Unless you decide on another course," Alice says to Aro in regards to his demise.
For the sake of self-preservation, Aro concludes that "there is no danger" in regards to Renesmee's existence and retreats with his coven members and witnesses, much to Caius' dismay.

Ray breaks Bomber record again at Roseville track
Two weeks in the book for All American Speedway and two track records for Bomber pilot Erick Ray.
A week after breaking the record with a qualifying lap of 15.721 seconds around the one-third-mile oval, Ray shaved nearly another tenth of a second with a lap at 15.655 seconds on Saturday, the first Fan Appreciation Night of the young season. He went on to win the main event on the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series program.
Trophy dash winner Richard Perez started next to Mo Abhat in the front row for the main, but Ray took the lead early in the race and drove away to a 2.782-second victory over Perez with Cody Rickard finishing third.
Late Model — Ron Chunn overcame several yellow flags and Chris Scribner to win the main event.
Chunn, who was second to Scribner in the season opener, qualified No. 2 behind Michael Roman, who clocked a lap at 14.042 seconds.
Scribner, who won the dash, started in the front row next to rookie James Bickford in the feature and led early. Chunn moved in front of Scribner on the fourth lap, and they battled for the lead until Scribner's car began to smoke.
Chunn took the checkered flag with Tony Mangini second and Hayden Pederson third.
Modified — Reigning track champion Scott Winters took the lead on a restart and drove to victory by .17 of a second in the 40-lap main event.
Opening-night winner Jay Linstroth led early but collided with top qualifier Jason Bamberg (14.12) on the eighth lap and sustained a broken spindle.
An oil spill on the track delayed the race longer but couldn't stop Winters when the green flag waved again. Bamberg finished second, and Linstroth came back to take third. Linstroth also edged Bamberg, his teammate, in the trophy dash.
Street Stock — Jared Beddow recorded his second main-event victory in a row, taking a checkered-yellow because of time limit after an oil spill.
Richard Poppert Jr. set fast time in qualifying at 14.95 seconds. He took the lead on lap four of the 35-lap feature and was pulling away before a caution flag put the brakes on his domination. Beddow went on to take the lead, and Poppert finished second.
Mark Gardiner won the trophy dash and finished fourth in the main behind Matt Camp.
NCMA Sprint — Eric Humphries won the heat race and dash, and he pulled away to win the 20-lap main by 5.578 seconds. Danny Burrell was second, and top qualifier Ed Amador (14.287) finished third.
When/Where: Saturday at the Placer County Fairgrounds, 800 All America City Boulevard, in Roseville. Gates open at 4 p.m.
NASCAR Whelen All-American Series: Late Model, Street Stock, Bomber, Legends of the Pacific, Mini Cup.
Ticket prices: $13 for adults ages 16-59, $7 for seniors 60 and older and juniors 6-15, free for kids 5 and under, $35 for a family pass (two adults and three juniors).

- How to Read a Study Record
Assessment of oral and dental problems is seldom routine in clinical oncology, despite the potential negative impact of these problems on nutritional status, social function and quality of life (QoL). A brief, assessment tool for oral/dental health and related QoL-issues to improve symptom management has been requested. The present study will be conducted on behalf of and with support from the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - (EORTC) Quality of Life Group (QLG). The study represents phase IV, the final step, in the development of an international, symptom specific questionnaire module, focusing on oral and dental problems in relation to cancer and its treatment. Phase I-III of this stepwise development process was conducted from 2008 to 2011, as an international collaboration and conducted according to the guidelines for module development set forth by the EORTC QLG. The resulting module, the QLQ-OH17, is now subject to an international field testing and validation study as described in this project description.
The present version of the QLQ-OH17 consists of 17 items conceptualized into four multi-item scales (pain/discomfort, xerostomia, eating and information) and three single items related to use of dentures and future worries. The aim of the present study is to conduct phase IV; an international field study to confirm the psychometric properties of the QLQ-OH17

Detailed Description:
The EORTC guidelines will be strictly followed also in phase IV of the module development. Eligible patients will be contacted by the local study coordinator or a study nurse and informed about the study. After having provided written informed consent, they will be presented with the following two questionnaires for self-report of general symptoms, specific dental and oral symptoms, and quality of life issues; the EORTC QLQ-C30 and the QLQ-OH17. In addition to these two, a short debriefing interview will be conducted by study coordinator / study nurse for assessment of feasibility and patients' opinion about the questionnaires.
The case report form (CRF) on medical and demographic data will be completed by the study coordinator / study nurse before or after the patients have completed their part.
A subset of the patients will be assessed twice, as examination of test - retest reliability is important in phase IV of the development process.

A fire engine took a wrong turn and got stuck trying to turn around on its way to a fatal house fire near Myersville, delaying the crew's response time by more than an hour, according to a report by the Frederick County Division of Fire and Rescue Services.
The post-incident analysis obtained by The Frederick News-Post identifies several deficiencies and mistakes with respect to directions and firefighter accountability during the Jan. 31 fire in the 3900 block of Highland Avenue.
Sisters Madigan Grace Lillard, 3, and Sophie Paige Lillard, 6, died of smoke inhalation in the blaze. Four other members of the Lillard family were hospitalized, including 8-year-old Morgan Lillard, who spent eight days in a burn unit at Children's National Medical Center in Washington before being released Feb. 8.
Division Director Tom Owens said in an interview this week that problems getting to the scene need to be dealt with, but officials do not believe the delays prevented rescue of the girls trapped inside the house. Firefighters entering the house through the garage roof found that the second floor had almost completely collapsed and they could go no farther.
"When you compare it with the pre-arrival photographs, how intense, how rapidly the fire had spread, even before 911 was called, and what the autopsy revealed about the cause of death, when you put all those things together, we do not believe that the outcome would have been any different," Owens said.
He said Engine 82 arriving on time "would have added a couple more working hands, and it would have added the tank of water that is on the pumper to the operation. But we never ran out of water, so was that critical to the operation? No."
The first two engines headed to the scene both went to the wrong place, followed by an ambulance crew that did not use its own directions, the report states.
Myersville Engine 82 turned from U.S. 40 onto Hollow Road after overshooting Harmony Road, which intersects Highland Avenue.
The engine became stuck trying to turn around and a heavy-duty tow truck was called to remove it. The engine arrived at 12:25 a.m., 65 minutes after it was dispatched.
Ambulance 89 followed Engine 82 until the crew realized they were heading in the wrong direction and followed Middletown Engine 72 to the scene. Engine 72 briefly went to the wrong location at 11:28 p.m. when it turned on Highland Court. The crew had laid out their supply line before realizing they were on the wrong street. Engine 72's error caused a delay of several minutes getting in position to fight the fire, the report states.
"There is no excuse for responding to an incorrect location when the CAD (computer-aided dispatch) printer is working properly and they can get a copy of the printed location prior to response," the report states. "The county is looking into printing more than one copy of the CAD information when stations are alerted for multiple unit response so all units can have a copy, not just one."
Owens said that some printers are being moved to more convenient locations so firefighters can quickly grab the printout on the way to their engines rather than having to detour into an office.
The report also mentions the possibility of a mobile terminal in each vehicle where information could be sent to crews, something that could be done during a planned reconfiguration of the CAD system.
Fire and Rescue Services spokesman Mike Dmuchowski said officials are still trying to determine what led Engine 82 crew members to go the wrong way and whether any disciplinary action is necessary. He said such mistakes are uncommon.
"They have maps on the apparatus," Dmuchowski said.
Dmuchowski said it is not department policy to make internal personnel decisions public.
Communication tapes obtained by The News-Post through a Public Information Act request reveal a sense of urgency at 11:28 p.m., nine minutes after the initial 911 call and eight minutes after the first units were dispatched. Lt. Steve Nalborczyk, of the Wolfsville Volunteer Fire Co., was first on the scene and established command at 11:27 p.m. before directing Engine 72 to the proper location.
"Come all the way up on Highland Avenue and lay up by the (inaudible) at the bottom," Nalborczyk ordered. "Get on up here."
The next two units arrived at 11:30 p.m. and 11:32 p.m., according to the report.
At 11:30 p.m., an Engine 72 crew member warned other units not to make the same mistake. "72 to all incoming units. It's not this street, it's the next street up on the right."
"That's correct," Nalborczyk said. "Highland Avenue is all the way at the top. Come on up here."
Engine 72 crew saw Engine 82 heading the wrong way, according to the report, but failed to tell the crew instead of confirming the correct location with a dispatcher.
The report made no excuses for Engine 82's crew heading to the wrong location, but it stated that Engine 72's mistake was understandable because of the similarity of the street names as well as high stress because people were trapped inside the burning house and the fire was visible and appeared accessible from Highland Court. The report attributed the mistake to "tunnel vision" by the crew upon seeing Highland on the street sign. But the unit officer should have looked at the map to make sure he and the driver knew the area, it stated.
"This is especially true since Engine 72 knew after seeing Engine 82 going in the incorrect direction they would now be the first due," the report stated. "Engine 72 also did not announce they were taking the first due assignment at any time."
The report found the ambulance crew at fault for "blindly" following Engine 82, then Engine 72, to incorrect locations rather than using its own copy of the directions. The same ambulance also got blocked in and could not transport a patient until several pieces of equipment were moved.
The report also stated that Myersvillle units did not take the most direct route to the scene and could have saved 11Ú2 minutes by taking another route. The station's maps are now being updated to reflect the fastest route across U.S. 40 and onto Bittle Road, which meets Harmony Road near Highland Avenue.
Each point of concern in the report is being examined by a working team within the division, Owens said.
"There's a lot of lessons … related to communications that we're actively working on," Owens said.
Firefighter accountability is also discussed in the report, including a failure to properly use a passport system designed to let command staff keep track of who is at a scene. The safety officer abandoned the task of checking passports after finding empty passports on several first alarm units, the report stated, and the system was essentially not used during the fire.
Additionally, not enough PAR checks — a type of roll call — were performed during the fire, according to the report.
The fire service needs to look at improving either the accountability system or training in its use, Owens said.
"Because of the hazardous environment that they're working in, we want to know everybody operating on that incident is there and what their assignments are, and the fact that they are OK," he said. "Our accountability system did not work well that night."
U.S. Fire Association spokesman Tom Olshanski wouldn't speculate on why firefighters went to the wrong location, but he said GPS systems are becoming more common among fire companies across the country. Finding fires in residential areas can be especially challenging, he said.
"Every little bit helps when you are racing to get to victims," Olshanski said.
Olshanski, who has spent 40 years in the fire and rescue field, said that challenge is increased by the rate at which house fires tend to spread, which he attributes to the presence of more plastic materials in modern houses.
"The rate at which fires ignite and spread now is unbelievably fast," he said.

Outages drive smart grid, and muni legislation
Storms + outage anger = muni movement
We've written extensively in this space about the prospects for municipalization by Boulder, Colo., now a more tangible proposition after its citizens narrowly voted earlier this month to explore the possibilities. (See "Boulder Rejects Xcel.")
As you probably know, the drivers in Boulder's case are many. The short version is that the city aspires to control its energy destiny. Among the many factors in the mix: cutting carbon emissions, ramping up renewables, using local resources and cutting ties to Xcel Energy. All but the last item on this list would depend on adding smarts to the grid.
Of the many factors driving that last item, it's worth noting that Boulder's simmering resentment toward its power provider may provide the closest parallel to municipalization efforts elsewhere in the country.
What a difference 2,000 miles make. On the East Coast, millions of people, battered first by hurricanes and tropical storms, then an early winter walloping, endured extended outages of electricity service from many large investor-owned utilities. Storm-related outages, of course, have been cited by many IOUs to justify their proposals to add intelligence to their grids. (See "ComEd Wins Smart Grid Okay.")
But will that argument for grid modernization work going forward? Certainly, this fall in the East, outrage ensued over the outages. The immediate environment was not, shall we say, conducive to explanations of how a smarter grid might have improved things and how much it will cost ratepayers.
(Note that we lack crucial information here: How did small- and mid-sized municipal and cooperative utilities perform at service outage and restoration under the same conditions? And, what role might scale play in similar efforts by the large IOUs? Anyone: is there a lineman-per-mile of poles-and-wires benchmark in the industry?)
As the first storms approached in late August, I was impressed with what the utilities said about their preparations for the impacts, particularly in terms of public outreach and outage/restoration notification, and I wrote about it. (See "BGE Handles Howling, and Hurricane.") Having an appreciation for the power of Mother Nature and the magnitude of the challenge of delivering, maintaining and restoring service, I had empathy for the utilities. Even after outages continued after the late October snowstorm. Chalk it up to those 2,000 miles and the fact that I could watch television news coverage of the debacle from the comfort of my powered-up home.
Then I heard details that lent credence to the complaints that preparedness and organization were lacking. A colleague tipped me off that he had been without power for six days, leading him to take refuge at a relative's home hundreds of miles away. In some cases, restoration information was overly optimistic. He was not alone.
In the case of Connecticut Light & Power, the outrage led to yesterday's resignation of Connecticut Light & Power's CEO Jeff Butler, to the creation of two new positions—one to lead emergency preparedness, the other to lead infrastructure hardening—and to an internal evaluation of its preparedness by a consultant. Perhaps more stunning, an investigation by the Connecticut Attorney General will examine whether laws were broken by the utility. This tends to counter the initial appearance that legitimate-sounding claims by utilities that all that was humanly possible was done to prepare for the storms and restore service afterwards.
Out of the back and forth, there was nuance. One editorial writer in Connecticut suggested that the storm was overwhelming and that, despite examples of disorganization, the utilities' preparedness levels and maintenance efforts were approved by state regulators. Oversight was the problem.
Now to the upshot. In neighboring Massachusetts, the storms also wreaked havoc, outages were widespread and emotions ran high, leading to vilification of the state's four investor-owned utilities, including NStar, National Grid, Unitil and Western Mass Electric.
Enter House Bill 869, which represents a decade-long effort - thwarted til now, proponents say, by utility lobbying - that would make it easier for cities and towns to take over their distribution systems from the IOUs. State law already provides a process for municipalization, but gives IOUs veto power. The bill purportedly would tilt the balance away from the utility and toward the municipality. While Massachusetts has 41 "munis" today, no city or town has formed one since 1926. That will change if the Massachusetts Alliance for Municipal Electric Choice (MAMEC) has its way.
Back to parallels with Boulder. In the foothills of the Rocky Mountains or in the hills of Massachusetts, cities or towns seeking to municipalize would undoubtedly have to modernize their grids. In the former case, smarts would help integrate massive amounts of renewable resources; in the latter case, intelligent switching could limit outages and self-healing circuits could speed restoration. In both cases, intelligence on the grid would create efficiencies in operations and maintenance that presumably would (debatably) keep costs under control. In both cases, cities and towns likely will find themselves battling their incumbent service provider and facing administrative, technical and financial challenges.
Will "outage outrage" be enough to power HB 869 into law? Will any cities or towns take the plunge on municipalization as a result? What role will the promise of grid modernization play in these decisions? And did anyone imagine that a smarter grid could be used to argue for and against so many disparate objectives? Finally, what would be the effect of municipal defections on IOUs and their revenue, earnings and stock value?

Intelligent Utility Daily
Will we see "Occupy The Utility" Movements?
Sending a message across the 2,000 mile difference, as spoken of in the article, can be accomplished in milliseconds with today's communications technology. A concern for the utility industry is whether the Smart Grid technologies will give rise to accelerate the "mini movement". I see it developing as a form of the "Occupy Wall Street" movements which I'll call here "Occupy The Utility". For utilities, it actually started before the "Occupy Wall Street" movement with the "No Smart Meter" backlash. It may just be my perspective, but it does seem like the push back to utilities is growing. My concern is, are we listening? The major power of these movements lies in their grassroots base. Those are the types of groundswell uprisings that can grow quickly and turn into a tsunami. A case in point is what happened to the nuclear industry in the US over the last three decades. Grassroots efforts turned the opposition to nuclear power into a tsunami that has drowned nuclear efforts in the US. Those same grassroots efforts have also been very successful in stopping the building of new transmission lines.
When you first take a look at Boulder, Colorado and the outage uproar on the East Cost, it seems to be about totally different issues; but in reality, the same underlying forces of these movements lie in the public's growing distrust of utilities to effectively act on behalf of the public's interest. The use of electricity to better our lives is fundamental to our lifestyles. This is the case worldwide and has even shown up in public outcries over electric outages in Pakistan "Taliban blow their fuse: Electricity first, Shariah later". The Taliban has issued threats to the utility executives in an effort to push them to do something about the frequent power outages in that region.
For utilities, these grassroots uproars could breathe new life into the desire for municipalization of local communities. Part of my reasons for saying this is based on some blogs from the city of Wallingford, Connecticut that I was able to find with a few Google click searches. These statements, from an existing municipality, speak louder than any other utility statements I've heard to date and should be a wakeup call for the industry:
• "I lost power for maybe three hours around the midpoint of the storm".
• "I think this storm makes the argument for that in spades where Wallingford was effectively unaffected and Meriden and Cheshire at the height of their outages were nearly 90% without power." As I write this on the fourth day after the storm they are still somewhere in the neighborhood of 75% blacked out. Whatever little extra, overall, that I am paying for that additional service it was well worth it.
• "From the standpoint of the system itself, I think it's well maintained," Director of Public Utilities George Adair said. "I don't think it's necessarily unique. You start with the primary stuff and work your way out. We were fortunate in that we still have transmission service and we haven't lost our ability to receive energy."
• "Tom Porto, working the counter, said he had customers drive from as far as Canton for gas for their cars and generators. "I've never seen it like this," he said. "We quadrupled our business, at least.""
• "Wallingford Electric Division, the municipal utility that covers the town, reported only 4,000 outages of the town's 25,000 ratepayers at the peak of the storm. In a statement, the utility said it expected to restore power to all but 100 customers by midnight Tuesday. There is no estimate for when power will be restored completely. By comparison, peak outages topped 24,000 in Meriden, 13,000 in Southington and 10,000 in Cheshire. Connecticut Light & Power Co., which covers the three municipalities, had not provided an estimated time for complete restoration as of Tuesday."
My prediction for smart grid technologies and the municipalization movement is that these technologies will do what other technologies did for large industrial and commercial electric users. They used that technology to become aware of their power usage. This led them to figure out beneficial ways to aggregate and reduce their costs.
All of this in light of the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to plan and expect more frequent and severe storms worldwide.

Outages and Smart Grid
The underlying reasons utilities have so many outages and the reasons it takes so long to restore power after a major storm are that there are too many overhed netowrks, the networks are aging, and poor vegetation management. Until these issues are addressed there will be no substantial improvement in reducing the impact of storm related outages. Resolving these issues is expensive but so is the impact of the storms on the economy.
Smart Grid applications help in identifying outages quickly (and detecting false outages) but that doesn't have much impact on the total restoration time when a hundred thousand residences are without power and restoration times are measured in days.
Micro grids, special energy sources, and self healing help some but for the most part most networks don't have much of these advanced capabilities. These capabilities help repower the consumers who are "down network" from the outages but they do nothing for the customers that are directly impacted by the outages.
To solve the real problems utilities must committ to more underground networks, replacing aging facilities, and effective vegetation management. The rest including Smart Grid is just window dressing when a storm really hits.
Municipalization Lite
The path to municipalization, as Boulder will no doubt discover as it proceeds down that path, will be expensive and complex. Unwinding the investment by IOU in assets required to operate the municipal distribution grid could take years of haggling and in the end, cities and citizens will be stuck with a large debt. The price of independence will be high in that scenario, but no doubt, some communities, like Boulder, will consider it a bargain at any price.
Consider instead a more gradual path to energy independence, whereby city leadership begins to invest in distributed energy resources such as combined heat and power gensets in its office buildings, solar PV panels on its rooftops, EV charging stations in its parking garages, energy efficiency retrofits of its building envelopes and electrical appliances, including spray foam insulation, high efficiency lighting, and high tech HVAC systems. By working with its constiuencies, including economic development agencies, chambers of commerce, neighborhood associations, and school districts, city leadership can expand its influence and reduce local reliance on grid power piecemeal as technology matures, gradually taking more control over their collective energy destiny, while allowing the IOU to do what it does best, operate an efficient distribution grid. And reducing grid consumption - including reducing peak consumption - may do more to get an IOU's attention than anything else.
Rather than look at this as a black and white debate between investor-owned grid and city-owned grid, perhaps we should expand the discussion into a future scenario involving a smart consumer, one that envisions grid-delivered kWhs, on-site kWhs, and negawatts, blended in harmony via a smart grid?

KINGSLAND, Ga. - A 21-year-old man wanted in connection with a murder Sunday afternoon in Titusville, Fla., died later that night in a crash while being pursued by Camden County deputies on Interstate 95.
IMAGES: Fatal crash in police chase
The Sheriff's Office says deputies who received an alert about the suspects possibly heading to Pennsylvania spotted their vehicle headed north after 9 p.m. Sunday and began to follow it. Deputies chased the vehicle north on I-95 for about 15 miles before the vehicle crashed in the median.
"We had two deputies sitting out looking for the vehicle," said William Terrell, public information officer for the Camden County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies said the driver, a 15-year-old girl whose name was not released, escaped with only minor injuries and was taken into custody. The passenger and murder suspect, Christian Murphy (pictured, above), died at the scene.
Titusville police say a body believed to be that of 41-year-old Michelle Chappell (pictured, left) was found Sunday afternoon in a home on Avilez Boulevard. Police say she was beheaded and her remains placed in containers.
The gold Nissan chased and wrecked in Georgia was reported missing from Chappell's Titusville home by homicide investigators.
"We don't know what the relationship between the two is," said Lt. Cleyton Brey of the Titusville Police Department.
The teen driver could be charged with vehicular manslaughter in the chase and crash, along with a possible murder charge in Brevard County. She's being held in juvenile jail.

Sony Xperia Z1 review: A smartphone with a camera-sized sensor
Lars Rehm | Published: Nov 1, 2013 at 13:30 UTC57
Connect smartphone reviews are written with the needs of photographers in mind. We focus on camera features, performance and image quality.
The Sony Xperia Z1 was launched in September at the IFA consumers electronics trade show in Berlin and replaces the Xperia Z, which itself was only launched at CES in January as Sony's top-of-the-line smartphone. The new model comes with the same impressive build quality and waterproof body as its predecessor and with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 processor and a 5-inch 1080p screen, the Z1 offers top-end specs all around.
For photo-centric users the really big news is the Z1's camera. The 1/2.3-inch sensor in the Sony's camera module is the same size as you would find in most consumer level compact cameras and therefore larger than the 1/3-inch sensors common in the current crop of smartphones.
The comparatively large sensor is combined with a high pixel count of 20.7MP, a fast F2.0 lens and a physical shutter button, all of which demonstrate that Sony, like other high-end mobile device manufacturers, has identified camera performance as a key differentiator in the highly competitive smartphone market.
We've put the Sony Xperia Z1 through our rigorous testing regimen. Read on to find out if the impressive specs translate into top-level image quality.
Key Photographic / Video Specifications

Installing and Using Distribute
Table of Contents
About the fork
Distribute is a fork of the Setuptools project.
Distribute is intended to replace Setuptools as the standard method for working with Python module distributions.
The fork has two goals:
Providing a backward compatible version to replace Setuptools and make all distributions that depend on Setuptools work as before, but with less bugs and behaviorial issues.
This work is done in the 0.6.x series
Starting with version 0.6.2, Distribute supports Python 3. Installing and using distribute for Python 3 code works exactly the same as for Python 2 code, but Distribute also helps you to support Python 2 and Python 3 from the same source code by letting you run 2to3 on the code as a part of the build process, by setting the keyword parameter use_2to3 to True. See docs/python3.txt for more information.
Refactoring the code, and releasing it in several distributions. This work is being done in the 0.7.x series but not yet released.
If you install Distribute and want to switch back for any reason to Setuptools, get to the Uninstallation instructions section.
More documentation
You can get more information in the Sphinx-based documentation, located in the archive in docs. This documentation includes the old Setuptools documentation that is slowly replaced, and brand new content.
About the installation process
The Distribute installer modifies your installation by de-activating an existing installation of Setuptools in a bootstrap process. This process has been tested in various installation schemes and contexts but in case of a bug during this process your Python installation might be left in a broken state. Since all modified files and directories are copied before the installation, you will be able to get back to a normal state by reading the instructions in the Uninstallation instructions section.
In any case, it is recommended to save you site-packages directory before you start the installation of Distribute.
Installation Instructions
Distribute is only released as a source distribution.
It can be installed using easy_install or pip, and can be done so with the source tarball, the eggs distribution, or by using the distribute_setup.py script provided online.
distribute_setup.py is the simplest and preferred way on all systems.
Download distribute_setup.py and execute it, using the Python interpreter of your choice.
If your shell has the wget program you can do:
$ wget http://nightly.ziade.org/distribute_setup.py $ python distribute_setup.py
easy_install or pip
Run easy_install or pip:
$ easy_install Distribute $ pip install Distribute
Source installation
Download the source tarball, uncompress it, then run the install command:
$ wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/distribute-0.6.1.tar.gz $ tar -xzvf distribute-0.6.1.tar.gz $ cd distribute-0.6 $ python setup.py install
Uninstallation Instructions
Like other distutils-based distributions, Distribute doesn't provide an uninstaller yet. It's all done manually!
Distribute is installed in three steps:
- it gets out of the way an existing installation of Setuptools
- it installs a fake setuptools installation
- it installs distribute
Distribute can be removed like this:
- run easy_install -m Distribute. This will remove the Distribute reference from easy-install.pth. Otherwise, edit the file and remove it yourself.
- remove the distribute*.egg file located in your site-packages directory
- remove the setuptools.pth file located in you site-packages directory
- remove the easy_install script located in you sys.prefix/bin directory
- remove the setuptools*.egg directory located in your site-packages directory, if any.
If you want to get back to setuptools:
- reinstall setuptools using its instruction.
- remove the .OLD. directory located in your site-packages directory if any, once you have checked everything was working correctly again.
Install FAQ
Why Distribute turn my Setuptools installation into an fake one?
Since Distribute is a fork, and since it provides the same package and modules, it fakes that the Setuptools installation is still present, so all the programs that where using Setuptools still work.
If it wasn't doing it, a program that would try to install Setuptools would overwrite in turn Distribute.
How does Distribute interacts with virtualenv?
Everytime you create a virtualenv it will install setuptools, so you need to re-install Distribute in it right after. The Distribute project will not attempt to patch virtualenv so it uses it when globally installed.
Once installed, your virtualenv will use Distribute transparently.
Although, if you have Setuptools installed in your system-wide Python, and if the virtualenv you are in was generated without the --no-site-packages option, the Distribute installation will stop.
You need in this case to build a virtualenv with the --no-site-packages option or to install Distribute globally.
How does Distribute interacts with zc.buildout?
Some work is being done on zc.buildout side to make its bootstrap work with Distribute. Until then, using Distribute in zc.buildout is a bit tricky because the bootstrap process of zc.buildout hardcodes the installation of Setuptools.
The plan is to come with a custom bootstrap.py for zc.buildout for the 0.6.3 release, together with some small changes on zc.buildout side.
