The Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands, which manages 400,000 acres of forestlands, plans to significantly increase the amount of wood it cuts every year. At the request of the LePage administration, the BPL will increase the harvest nearly 30 percent between now and 2015. Compared to other large commercial landowners in Maine, the public lands will still contain more cords of wood per acre. But as Susan Sharon reports, the plan is generating some concern.
Timber is harvested on Maine public land in the town of Bradley.
Not far from Bangor, this tree thinning operation on a 9,500-acre block of forest in the town of Bradley is one example of how the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands manages for timber. The site was heavily cut by the previous owner. There are several protected bogs on the parcel, a few leased camp lots and a snowmobile trail.
The smell of fresh cut balsam fir hangs in the air as a large, eight-wheeled machine plucks trees from the woodlot and carries them to a pile by the side of the road. BPL has been trying to encourage higher value species to grow here.
"Looking at this stand here - I couldn't tell you on the uncut if that's 23 or 28 or 21 cords an acre," says Chuck Simpson, the eastern regional manager for public lands, says by just looking at the stand he can't tell how many cords of wood per acre remain. And he doubts that the public will be able to tell the difference when the harvest is increased in three years time.
"You're talking about reducing our standing inventory of trees we have standing there by about 23 now, down to 21-and-a-half, so you're talking about - what? - a 6.5 percent reduction," Simpson says. "The key thing would be, I think, to stay within our policies and guidelines and that type of thing, and try to make sure that our quality stays the way it has been, which has been really high, you know?"
BPL administrators are confident they can increase the harvest without jeopardizing standards set by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative and the Forest Stewardship Council. Both certification programs review commonly accepted values for protection of biodiversity, water quality, wildlife and sustainable harvests, including regeneration. And both require regular audits.
But the decision to increase the harvest didn't come from foresters - it was prompted by a series of questions posed by the governor's office in an email to the Maine Forest Service and Bureau of Parks and Lands in April. Among other things, the governor wanted to know how much additional wood could be sustainably harvested on public lands and how much revenue that would generate.
"You can't just let the forest grow and grow and grow, increasing forever, because it will outgrow its capacity and it isn't a well managed forest," says Will Harris, the director of Parks and Lands. He says the question made sense following a 2011 forest inventory that showed the amount of wood growing on public lands had increased by an average of 1.5 cords an acre.
"We have things like over-mortality and over-risk for disease," he says. "So we had this discussion after the inventory was done about what should our stocking level be?"
The Forest Service initially lobbied for a stocking level of about 20 cords per acre. That amount is closer to the level of some of the better-managed industrial forests in Maine. But public lands are managed for multiple use, not just timber harvesting. And Harris and other staff at BPL objected. Eventually both sides settled on a stocking level of 21.5 cords per acre. Over the past year the timber harvest, which had been about 128,000 cords, was increased to 140,000.
"What we're planning on is next year take it 160,000 cords, and then the following year 180,000 cords, and then hold at that level for about 20 years," Harris says.
"The forests are being looked at as a cash cow for the administration, and they want to cut more so that they can generate more revenue for whatever their latest pet project is," says Cathy Johnson of the Natural Resources Council of Maine.
Johnson says over the past 30 years, public lands have been managed well. But she says the move to harvest more wood represents a major policy shift. She pegs the increase at 40 percent, if you compare what was cut in 2012 to what is planned for 2015.
"One of the reasons I'm concerned is that all this is being done in secret," Johnson says. "There's been no public discussion, no policy discussion, no public meetings, and that raises a huge, big red flag for us."
Dr. Malcolm Hunter, a leading conservation biologist at the University of Maine, is worried about the ecological effects of increased cutting on mature forests. Big, old trees are important for biodiversity and wildlife.
"The bureau has a much larger portion of its land base in that condition than virtually any other landowner, and I'm afraid that increasing the allowable cut will substantially decrease the portion of the lands owned by the state that are in this more mature condition," Hunter says.
Hunter is a long-time member of the Silvicultural Advisory Committee, created about 30 years ago to advise the bureau on its forest management practices. He and several other committee members interviewed for this story say they think the state will need to hire more foresters to ensure the work is done well.
They also want to make sure that any revenue generated from timber sales goes back into supporting conservation, recreation and other programs at the bureau. But most say they do think the harvesting plan can be done sustainably.
"I'm not alarmed - the principles of it, and how it happened, bother me a little bit," says Dr. Robert Seymour, of the University of Maine. Seymour - considered by many to be Maine's silvicultural guru - has performed past certification audits on BPL lands.
"The biology of it, I think, and the numbers part of it - I think probably that amount could probably be sustained for certainly a period of time," he says, "because they are growing more, right? That's the good news story here."
BPL foresters will check the biology and the numbers at five-year intervals and make adjustments accordingly. Bureau Director Will Harris says the main message coming from the LePage administration is that the harvesting plan must not interfere with forest certification.

The burin is the direct descendant of the coarse scraper. The wooden handle of this bevel-cut steel chisel is rounded for a perfect fit in the palm of the hand, which controls the depth of the blade's cut in the material by pressure alone. For chiselling tiny details, and extremely exact work, the master engraver has some twelve burins in all sizes. He sharpens them himself with the sandstone grinder, then with the emery grinder and lastly with oil stone. The quality of his work depends on the care he puts into this operation: creating areas of shade is only possible with an impeccably polished cutting surface. Writing on gold, steel or platinum with the burin requires years of experience. First the sketch is traced directly with dry point on the back of the Reverso. The drawing is then honed with the right burin for the engraving style. An old engraving manual declares: "Writing should flow freely from the hand, that is the only way to get beautiful characters".

Jobs Bans Non C Libraries. Insane Restraint of Trade
People are writing that this is a ban on Flash, and cross platform tools. It is, but that is not what I am concerned about.
3.3.1 not only bans cross platform *tools*, it bans *everything* that is written in other languages and are ported to C. This, obviously, includes libraries.
By defining the rule as being about what language something is "originally" written in, we now must be supposedly concerned about the *provenance* of our code, and not just what it does. If a math library, or a physics engine, or a string package, or whatever, was *originally* written in some other language, and ported, then it violates this rule. This concept of what language something is written in is an insidious concept and strikes at the core of product development and of computer science in general. Everything is built on other stuff, the language provenance of which is often unclear. This language is fundamentally unreasonable, and un-enforceable.
Trying to control where something is originally done is attempting to control the thought process that yields a given result. Because if you thought of it in Java, and wrote it in java, and then, whether by hand or by tool, converted it to C, you are now outside the bounds of 3.3.1.
Some may say my interpretation is too pedantic. But the point is that in order for Apple to limit people in the way that they want to, i.e. to prevent the use of a given tool, they are inflicting collateral damage. I do not think there is a way to achieve their goal without such ridiculous restrictions. I have not done my legal homework here, but this seems to be a clear example of restraint of trade, a basic tenet of contract law.
I have no question that this will be tested in court. I don't think there has ever been a case like this because only Apple could make such a ridiculous attempt to control how developers work. But what is interesting here is that allowing this provision to go to trial may put the entire App Store concept under a legal microscope. Because it seems to me there is a reasonable risk that not only is 3.3.1 restraint of trade, but that the entire "you can only sell apps on iPhones and iPod touches that we approve" thing is found to be restraint of trade. Wouldn't that be tasty. Adobe, and/or class action lawyers start your engines!

Can adobe restrict apple from using their software to design their interfaces?ReplyDelete
How many apps do you need to support the case that Apple is not restricting trade? 200K? 300K? I find it ridiculous that Apple can't govern its iPhone/iPod Touch ecosystem. If Apple were only selling 100K iPhones/year, everyone would say it's a flop. No one would care. They would call Apple a loser. But at 50M iPhones and 140K apps later, people want to cry because Apple has their system locked down? Really? I can't understand the anti-Capitalist mentality in this country. It's no wonder unemployment is at 10% (probably higher). We want companies to be successful, but not too successful. Geesh.ReplyDelete
Here's a simple concept we all need to adhere to: don't like the product/terms/service a company provides? Don't buy their product! No lawyers needed.

Wow - i dont like C# or dotnet so i dont develop with them and say that MS is evil. That is case here Apple and MS are evil or just doing business. Both the same. And abobe is in bed with MS cause they linked internal flash code to dotnet. Now they cry wolf at Apple.ReplyDelete
The "Organic Store" example is a bit off.ReplyDelete
It should more like this:
"I own an Organic store; every product I sell must be Organic, and I happen to sell soil that you can use to grow these Organics with; Oh, another store started selling soil; Nevermind my previous rule, NOW every product I sell must be grown using MY soil"
This is anti-competitive behavior, and could be a case for a lawsuit.

Every developer that invested time into learning any of the 3rd party convertors (titanium, phonegap, etc.) as well as whoever was banking on adobe's flash to objective-c convertor is obviously being targeted by this apple closed-minded legalese. Strict interpretation of the language included as you alluded to above would include just about every graphic library out there as there isn't one of those that was built ground up for iphone without leaning on any pre-established code. I'm guessing its not apple's intent to enforce the language this strictly because that would be saying goodbye to games as a whole. They'll revisit and keep working it over until they come up language that blocks just what they want to block and competition will just be the worse for it.ReplyDelete

Microsoft was punishing OEMs who shipped competing software by threatening their Windows licenses, which would have been a death sentence due to Windows' dominance...Apple is controlling what goes on its store for its own hardware platform, which you're free to not use...quite a big difference.
- Bobby OrrApril 9, 2010 at 5:09 PM
It's more than just a consumer "your free not to use it" ideal. It's more of a "your free not develop for it"... which is basically the same as saying "your free to make your livelihood by targeting small subsets of other audiences rather than our large and established one because we want to do everything possible to make sure every dollar of opportunity is harvested by us." Sure, I could just invest the time to learn their proprietary way, but where does the conformity stop? A lot of people have already invested a lot of time to learning how to get apps on iphone and are now being told there is a new standard that will require them to reinvest all over again. What if I do it the "apple" way and tomorrow they decide to make me invest again to conform to another new standard because they feel they need to block it in order to keep their competitive advantage in the market? The consumer also ends up getting hurt in the long run because development that was being made and progressing well with open standards had to take huge steps backwards to conform to their whims which results in a less gratifying experience.ReplyDelete

Irrelevant. Apple like any company can restrict the use of their software, and what code their software is written if they like. It is their product. I don't give a damn if open source pangs at your heart. Its business not a fucking philosophy. Apple has the right to restrict their product any way they see fit.

Just because YOU want it be a certain way doesn't mean they have to mold it after your wants (which is also irrelevant) Just take your business and applications elsewhere. period.ReplyDelete

Apple can do what they want. If developers don't like it, download the Android SDK and start developing in whatever language you want or are able to make work...ReplyDelete
Developers, if you don't want to be told how to do your job, don't support a company that tells you. The iPhone and iPad rely heavily on ISVs. Apple promotes and shows the independent apps that developers like yourself write. You only have yourselves to blame for propping up Apple. Apple is the new Microsoft.
Right now is a critical point, Android is gaining rapidly on Apple, and this move can be just what it takes to shift the power from Apple to Google. Sure, Google does some crap things, but compared to this, Google is angelic. Users will eventually find that their Android owning friends are getting all the cool apps, and the balance of power will turn. It's free market capitalism!

Open source? Who's talking about open source? That doesn't even make sense. We are talking about the standards for developing on their platforms that are being open or closed. Business not philosophy? Umm, its bad business to close doors for people developing for your platform mid-stream. It's bad business to slap the people in the face who made the 140k+ apps that help make your product attractive to consumers and prolong its useful life. Its apple's hardware so just deal with it? I don't know about touting "antitrust" laws but please excuse me for being critical of them for just being plain stupid. Apple does some things very well, but they also have historically hamstrung themselves from being so much more. This is one of those moments.ReplyDelete
I agree with Apple.ReplyDelete
This isn't restraint on trade. Any developer that doesn't like it can move on to Android, Microsoft, Symbian, etc. etc. etc. There are a ton of other platforms to ply your trade in.
Apple wants to control its own destiny and not be treated like a second class citizen. I think anyone of color realizes this.
Adobe has treated Apple like a second class citizen ever since Apple gave up its partial ownership of Adobe. Look how poorly Flash runs on Mac OS X compared to Windows and Linux. And NO, it isn't due to lack of hardware acceleration (which is possible only on a few Macs). VLC runs way better than Flash when it comes to video on Mac despite the fact that Flash video is based on H.264.
Adobe wants to foist its parasitic platform on every other platform, leading to control of that platform's destiny. Apple will have none of that from Adobe or any other 3rd party SDK developer. Period.
Multi-platform apps also are poor in quality compared to natively developed apps. Apple's play is also a play for quality.
@Bobby Orr said, "I'm guessing its not apple's intent to enforce the language this strictly because that would be saying goodbye to games as a whole."ReplyDelete
IANAL (either?), but I think the prohibition is against development tools calling iPhone APIs except by the developer. Your graphic calculator could have a matrix routine written in FORTRAN, as long as you could link it in (you can), and you use your own code to call the Apple APIs. Anyway, most of those graphics libs are probably in C or C++, specifically allowed to interface to the iPhone APIs.
(Know any developers who code in C or C++? There are a few.)
The ban is to force devs to get up close and personal with the Apple APIs, not use them thru a 3rd party tool that allows— actually, forces— the dev to be indifferent to the platform. Effectively, you can build a generic-looking app for the iPhone, but you won't be forced into the lowest-common-denominator appearance of the tool.
Say what they do about hurting developers, Adobe is the biggest victim of this. 99%+ of current iPhone apps were written in the free(!) Apple coding environment, so this mostly impacts CS5.
So let's play Adobe CEO:
[1] I am struggling for dear life to get full (not lite, or beta or preview or crashy) Flash to run on ONE SINGLE SMARTPHONE—AT LEAST ONE!— which is not today the case. Sooner or later the blogosphere will blame me instead of Steve Jobs.
[2] I have thrown my many bright engineers at this challenge— desktop-scale ambitions on a platform with 256MB RAM, not 1024K or more; 600MHz CPUs, not 1500MHz or more; and 3 to 5 WattHour batteries, not a laptop's 50 WH and certainly not the 150W desktop power.
[3] Now, this A55#073 Apple, who's been dissing my firm's technical talent, wants Flash CS5 ready to support a bunch of features than none of my other target platforms offer. For the 6 customers (developers) who might actually care, since they wanted a *generic* development tool.
Question 1: How many engineers will I take from my Mac Photoshop team, which is midway with a major code rewrite that users are clamoring for?
Question 2: How many engineers will I take from our various Flash projects, especially our critical smartphone efforts?
Question 3: How can I justify any number greater than zero to my shareholders?
Extra Credit: Why would my Board of Directors not ask for my resignation if I spent so much as another 5 minutes even thinking about non-zero answers?
= = = = =
You see the problem: Adobe doesn't care enough about Apple to suit Apple. Probably, shouldn't. I personally think they should go back to their Chief Technical Officer and figure out how to look Really Smart instead of Really Lame.® Watch out for the Mythical Man Month but otherwise do a mea culpa and rethink what our Core Competencies are and what is just a Neat Idea.

Apple sells about 7.5 million handsets a quarter - Nokia sells over 100 million handsets per quarter. Apple has about 20 to 25 percent of the Smartphone market. Obviously neither is a monopoly or even close to being the largest. Google Android is the fastest growing. Again not Apple. So why are so many people upset about this change? Well it is because Apple products work are easy to use and their customers are usually one that have money to spend on things like software. Why do people like the iPhone and are willing to spend money on software? Because the iPhone works - there is one phone - version after version works the same with increasing numbers of improvements. You know when you buy an iPhone that the software will be available and will work with your phone - there is no fragmentation of the market. Why do developers continue to put up with Apples rules for a small handset maker? Because the App Store is a proven money maker for developers and Apple users spend money. Why does all this happen? Because Apple keeps control and makes it work!ReplyDelete

@graphicaliber-- Anon gave an indirect, but meaningful answer: giving away IE was perceived as leveraging their de facto monopoly on the market for desktop OS's.ReplyDelete
Legally defining "a market" is pretty much case-by-case; the Bush Justice Dept decided not to contest Microsoft's appeal (letting an already-won case against them die), and SCOTUS has put some hurt on the foundational Sherman Anti-Trust Act in other ways.
Apple likes to pretend that that iTunes App Store is "a market" but their lawyers probably keep them from saying as much. Given how dynamic boundaries are (a big part of Microsoft's unsuccessful defense), I don't think there'd be much support for defining a small subset of "phones" or "portable personal computers" as "a market" that would be subject to anti-trust concerns. If I were a dev locked or kicked out of the iTAS, I might try a restraint of trade argument, but that goes under the heading, "if you attack the King, you dare not fail."
Even if the Obama Justice Dept was really up in arms about this, I would guess there's no appetite for charging that their actions are breaking currently-accepted norms of commercial behavior ("laws").
PS: IANAL, in case it's not obvious. Not even close.

Kids, this is not even remotely the same as Microsofts multiple felonies. If you want to make that inane comment you have a lot to learn. Hardware developers restrict such things all the time and it hardly a legal issue. How anyone thinks it is is beyond me. If you think anyone is making money from Android and its iPhone wannabe OS then go develop for it. Just remember that os can STILL only load a handful of apps at a time. Also hope the iPhone doesn't get on other carriers which will hurt Android big time. In the meanwhile iPhone sales and app sales will continue to do very well especially with the iPad out. Most of the whiners couldn't write a line of code anyway.ReplyDelete

I agree with others that Apple's recent "choices" will be judged by the market, rather than a judge.ReplyDelete
iPhone seems to be loosing market share to Android, and Apple's attempts to thwart HTC (and thereby Google) and Flash/Adobe will surely play into the hands of the other smartphone manufacturers.
If it is legal for Apple to impose these restrictions, would it then be reasonable for Google to restrict access to search and maps and their other services from iPhones? And if Adobe also dropped support for Mac versions of their products, could the Apple platform survive?
Logically speaking it seems Apple are the architects of their own demise, but the market isn't based on logic, it's based on desire, and it's still desirable to role out apps and service to the iPhone/Pad crowd.... for now.

Once upon a time, there was a Giant Corporation that knew nothing about small devices, but the market was starting to take off. Since the Main Competitor was far ahead, the Giant Corporation decided to open its platform completely. The Main Competitor locked everything down, and made it impossible for all but the largest software houses to develop code for its platform.ReplyDelete
In a very short time, the Giant Corporation had thousands of small developers writing code for its computers. In a very short time, the Main Competitor--which had previously owned the marketplace--was nearly destroyed, and consigned to occupy no more than a niche in the marketplace it had once dominated so completely.
The Giant Coporation that opened its platform was IBM.
The Main Competitor was Apple.
The year was 1983.
[... and it is going to play out again, but this time, the name of the Giant Corporation is Google.]
Good too see you in my Rear View Mirror, Steve.
I'm not sure, but what about the GPL or the LGPL? Apple uses an offshoot of GCC, so how can it restrict use regarding that compiler?ReplyDelete
I may be totally wrong, but I've never seen anyone do something like this before and stay in business and prosper. MS tried to hinder people from writing Office apps with VS a while back, but I'm pretty sure they don't now.
Your right. This is an insane over-reaching of Apple's power. No platform maker has ever before tried to control what tools a developer can and cannot use.ReplyDelete
This language doesnt just make thinsg like Flash's iPod port and HPs Mono Touch (on which Unity depends) verboten but, in fact, makes ANY developer built code generator that runs on data or a DSL (domain specific language) against the rules.
Couple this with the fact that Android is now beating iphone in monthly sales and is an open delivery platform, and I predict amass defection of developers.
Apple just wants the apps in their app store to be written specifically for their mobile os. Nothing wrong there. This is good for the store, developer, end users and Apple. If you could just use any method to cobble something together then when it worked like crap you or your end user would be blaming apple. Apple would have to decide case by case should we ban this "crappy" app or not. Instead they are making the decision to level the field. All developers get access to the same tools that are actually used when developing iPhone 3 and up + the same tools that are used in developing OS X. No other company has ever been as generous with their development tools. Proof is that Apple doesn't sell it's development tools but instead invests into the developer community by making these tools available free. Again, you don't have to be a big company to develop a profitable app for Mac OS. you just have to know how to code and have a good idea for something that Mac users want.ReplyDelete
This past year has witnessed some quite serious backward steps for Apple hardware products. The most recent iPhone 4 is a serious case in point. Interestingly, there have been no slip-ups in terms of Apple software products. TMV questions whether this could be associated with the FACT that reliability of Apple hardware products is increasingly becoming an issue for consumers.ReplyDelete

Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment was a shop in North Side, Diagon Alley that sold a wide variety of magical instruments like telescopes and hourglasses. There was also a local branch in Hogsmeade.
Behind the scenes
- The Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment shop's name is not revealed in the books. The shop was first referred to as such in the "Tour Diagon Alley" feature included on Disc 2 of the DVD release of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and was then confirmed in Pottermore.
- The shop is showcased in Traveler's Tales LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 game. Players are able to purchase 'fun spells' with LEGO Harry Potter studs at the Diagon Alley shop; spells from the Harry Potter universe for causing mischief as you explore Hogwarts, like changing other character's appearances, causing them to dance or even belch slugs. Special spells can be found on the upper level of the shop by entering game codes.
A "wiseacre", which is derived from the word "wise", refers to a person who claims to be knowledgeable about everything (but is not).

Jimmy De Santa
this wiki
|This article concerns a game that is unreleased.
Some details may be speculative, and may turn out to be incorrect.
- "Why do I have to hold your hand through this whole mid-life crisis bullshit?"
- ―Jimmy
James "Jimmy" is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in Grand Theft Auto V.
Jimmy is the son of Michael, one of the game's main protagonists, and Amanda and the older brother of Tracy. According to GameInformer, Jimmy is a 20 year old whiny and lazy pot smoker who has a very confused relationship with his father.
Dan Houser has described Jimmy as a 20 year old, whiny, pot smoker with the actor capturing the story of him briliantly, but he is also prominently very lazy, and addicted to video games, as he is seen on a console in his bedroom during Michael's character trailer.
Jimmy seems to be bold enough to stand up to his father, Michael, but when Michael comes back at him with aggression, Jimmy backs down.
Jimmy is a redhead, overweight man of medium size and height. He has a tattoo with his name on his neck. He wears a red and black jersey, with "07" on the back and a white undershirt, a pair of grayish blue jeans with red, black and white sneakers and a silver necklace to match. Because of the way he acts and dresses he appears to be mimicing the appearance and personality of a gangster.
He has many tattoos, one of them reads "Edifica adversario tuo aureum pons ad receptum trans.", which translates to "Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across."

Two suspected drug traffickers are off the streets and behind bars this morning.
Matthew Smith, 32, and 33-year-old Vickie Exum are currently locked up in the Greene County Jail. Court records show Smith and Exum face felony charges, for trafficking opium or heroin, and conspiracy to traffic opium or heroin. Smith is also charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver cocaine. The Kinston Free Press says a confidential informant tipped off the Greene County Sheriff's Office to the two.

Another preliminary hearing is set to take place in the case of the American soldier accused of killing 16 Afghan civilians.
Defense lawyers for Robert Bales and military prosecutors are convening Tuesday morning at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, south of Seattle. Bales faces premeditated murder and other charges in the attack on two villages in southern Afghanistan.
The Ohio native and father of two has not entered a plea.
Bales is accused of slaying mostly women and children during pre-dawn raids on March 11, 2012.
The slayings drew such angry protests that the U.S. temporarily halted combat operations in Afghanistan, and it was three weeks before American investigators could reach the crime scenes.
The Army is seeking the death penalty in the case. The U.S. military hasn't executed anyone since 1961.

DATE: Will be calculated from "Release

Global Week Flexes the Muscle of One Ford to Make the World a Better Place DEARBORN - Producing innovative, stylish and exciting automobiles is a labor of love for Ford Motor Company employees. And so is creating a better world.
More than 12,500 Ford employees, retirees and dealers joined the Ford Volunteer Corps and marched into local communities on six continents to participate in the 8th annual Ford Global Week of Caring. Ford volunteers completed 277 community service projects in 27 countries from China to Australia and Europe to the Americas.
Ford employees built shelters for homeless children in China, renovated a community youth center in Germany, provided clean drinking water facilities in India and South Africa, constructed houses in Mexico, and participated in environmental restoration activities in Australia.
"Global Week is a snapshot of the work Ford volunteers do 52 weeks a year," said Janet Lawson, director, Ford Volunteer Corps. "Creating a better world is a big job, but Ford and its employees are up for the challenge. We're in this for long haul."
Ford Global Week of Caring is the highlight of a year-round campaign to put Ford's people power to work improving the lives of people and making the world a better place. Nonprofit organizations in Europe and the Asia Pacific and Africa region shared more than $225,000 in grants to buy the tools, supplies and materials for their projects. Ford Motor Company Fund also contributed more than $90,000 to support U.S.-based activities.
"It's not just about profitability at Ford. It's about being responsible to the communities where we do business," said Jim Vella, president, Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services. "We've been given so much, it's important that we give back and help people realize their dreams."
Wendi Brantley knows about dreams coming true. She moved her family into a Ford-sponsored Habitat for Humanity home in Detroit eight years ago. Today, she still works with Habitat Detroit, helping others realize the dream of owning a home.
"Ford's help gave me life again. You can't put into words what Ford volunteers have done for me," said Brantley. "There's not the right kind of thank you or meal you could cook to show your gratitude for the safe, affordable, energy efficient house. It changed my life."
In addition to helping build homes for Habitat for Humanity, Ford volunteers in 15 U.S. states from Alaska, Arizona and California to Florida, New York and Texas rehabilitated shelters, packed and distributed food for the hungry, created urban vegetable gardens, and assisted military veterans including sponsoring an Honor Flight for World War II veterans from Kansas City to visit the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.
"It's a way to do something good for the community, get out of the office environment and do some hard work," said Alicia Grazioli, a Ford volunteer who works in Truck Safety. "Ford really does walk the walk. We have teams all over the area. I'm really proud to be part of that."

The Freight Train Challenge is a side mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that involves the player transporting freight around the state in a Brown Streak or a Freight under a time limit. The challenge is available after all three islands have been unlocked, since it needs delivery to all five stations scattered around the state, namely Unity Station, Market Station, Cranberry Station, Yellow Bell Station and Linden Station. Like most side missions, it is activated by pressing the submission button. The challenge is completed when both levels have been completed; it is failed when either the train is derailed, the time limit expires, a station is missed, if the vehicle is abandoned or if the submission button is pressed.
Even though the Brown Streak is a passenger train, the missions can be completed using it; Carl only needs to use one train for the two missions.
- Level One: Stop at five stations.
- Level Two: Stop at five stations.
- $50,000 for the completion of both levels and free train rides. (To be precise, Carl has the option of riding in a passenger car of a Brown Streak rather than jacking the engine, which is the option prior to completing the mission.)
- It should be noted that when going between Market and Unity station, a consistent max speed of 30 MPH or thereabouts should be kept. Otherwise, it is safe to accelerate up to 44 MPH before the train is at risk of derailing.
- Starting the side mission will clear the player's wanted level.
- You do not need to be in a station to start the sub-mission. It can be started anytime after the player has entered the train, including halfway between stations. This also applies to the second of the two missions, if played concurrently.
- Hitting vehicles with the train does not generally hinder the mission.
- The player loses control of the camera during the time the train is in operation, though different cinematic views can be chose with one of the analog sticks on the PS2. This can make judging where to stop difficult if using the view from the train; it's best to use the distance meter to gauge when to stop.
- Some walkthroughs imply Carl needs to leave the train and board another one to start Level 2; in fact, he can stay in his current train and continue on, and in fact to make things easier it's possible to hold off on activating the second mission until the train is well out of the station.
- Due to the dangerous gang activity, it's inadvisable to start this mission at Unity Station as it usually requires Carl to wait on the train platform for a train to arrive, rendering him vulnerable.

Comments On Feb 22, 2015:Replaced my stock bumper on my KFX with this dominator and it looks great. Very happy with it.

Comments On Jan 30, 2014:i like pro armor but it was dissapointing to have the welds break about 6 hours on my quad. the main welds seemed to hold up, but the welds that hold the plate in the center of the bumper broke within about 6 hours of riding.

Comments On Jun 10, 2013:The bumper installed easily. Looks great. However, you can tell when handling it that it may not be the best for real protection or heavy use. Pro Armor is still my favorite armor brand though.

Comments On Sep 17, 2012:not happy with this bumper the center plate welds cracked and the center of the bumper is hanging on by a half weld, I have not crashed or hit anything I have had this on for 17 hours of ride time, disappointed.

Comments On Sep 02, 2010:easy to install. just as lite as the stock one. looks sick also. the service was excellent and the shipping was fast. highly recommend buyin this one.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jul 08, 2010:I bought one of these in black.
The mounts didn't even line up like some of the other Pro Armor stuff.
Pro Armor stuff must be returned to Pro Armor for warranty... and every time they never have any replacements on hand or in production... Took me months to get a replacement... and I had to accept a plain aluminum one to avoid waiting months longer.
Now like everyone else, my center plate is cracking off.
They want me to pay $25 to ship this one back to Pro Armor and wait until they decide to produce some of these again before I get a replacement.
This thing looks good in the picture, but will look like a snaggle toothed wreck in a few rides.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jun 29, 2010:The flat plate fell off after a weekend of riding. No front impact occurred. It looks like the welds broke from normal riding. Not sure if it is poor material or poor welding.

Thumb Keyboard

Android App Tablet Review: Thumb Keyboard — Thumb Keyboard fixes the problem of typing on a tablet by rearranging the keys so you can hold it comfortably and type as you might on a smartphone. It's a welcome change. The app requires a bit of setup time, but once you're done, it makes tapping out emails or searching the web a whole lot...
Developer Notes
Most customizable keyboard in the Play store for Phone, Tablet and Phablet. Packed with a lot of features you won't find on any other keyboard.

Should I be worried about the West Nile virus?
In the few years since the West Nile virus first emerged in the United States, it has spread quickly and attracted plenty of press. But despite all the attention, the virus is still rare. The odds of getting bitten by an infected mosquito are very slim, and so are the odds of becoming seriously ill following a bite.
Of course, you'll still want to protect your baby — and the rest of your family — by finding out how the virus is transmitted, what the symptoms look like, what treatments are available if one of your loved ones get sick, and how to avoid being bitten in the first place.
How is the virus spread?
The West Nile virus is spread by mosquitoes that catch the virus from infected birds and transmit it when they bite humans or animals. And so far, infected mosquitoes are the only known carriers of the virus. It can't be passed from person to person (except perhaps in utero, if the mother is infected) or from other animals to people.
The virus is most common when the weather is warmest, typically between July and mid-September. But in the Southern United States and other warm climates, West Nile can be transmitted year-round.
What are the symptoms?
About 20 percent of infected people develop mild, flu-like symptoms (muscle aches, fever, headaches, swollen glands, and sometimes a rash).
Fewer than one percent of people bitten by a mosquito carrying the virus develop the most serious West Nile complication —- a potentially fatal brain inflammation called encephalitis. This more severe infection may be marked by headache, high fever, neck stiffness, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, and paralysis.
It typically takes three to 15 days from the time of infection for symptoms to develop. The good news is that once you're infected, you become immune to the virus.
Who's most vulnerable?
The West Nile virus is most deadly to the elderly and to anyone who has a compromised immune system (from AIDS or cancer, for example). The virus poses no increased risk to pregnant women or to children.

May 5, 2016
A Pollocksville man is accused of using a stolen car to ram into a business, making off with four stolen guns over the weekend. And lawmen say it's not the first time the man has used a stolen vehicle to bust his way into a business.
Jacob Riggs is facing multiple charges in two counties, including felony breaking and entering, felony larceny of firearms, felony possession of stolen firearms, felony larceny of a motor vehicle, flee to elude arrest, reckless driving and resisting officers.
Carteret County deputies say Riggs stole the vehicle in Jones County, and then used it to ram into the front door of the Croatan Trading Post on Highway 58. Inside they say Riggs stole three antique rifles and a handgun. Deputies say damage to the building is estimated at $4,000.
Jones County deputies spotted the vehicle and chased it until it ran into a ditch on Catfish Lake Road. The stolen guns were found inside, while Riggs was arrested later Saturday morning.
Deputies say Riggs was out on bond for doing the same thing in Onslow County back in July with another stolen vehicle.

Editor's note: The following piece was sent to NSBA staff by Senior Editor Lawrence Hardy, whose mother passed away on Sept. 12. A native Missourian, she was a graduate of Maplewood High School, near St. Louis.
My mother, Eleanor Collins Hardy, was born in 1916 in Kansas City but spent most of her early life in St. Louis. Her father, a civil engineer, died of tuberculosis when she was 3, and as a result, my grandmother had to struggle to support her and her older brother. Not able to afford their own place, they lived with my great grandmother and other relatives in what must have been a crowded apartment over a drug store in Maplewood, a close-in, working class suburb of St. Louis. My grandmother worked at the drug store with the pharmacist, another relative.
While others certainly had it worse during the Great Depression — witness the homeless families living in "Hoovervilles," the makeshift campsites that sprung up downtown along the Mississippi River — my Mom had to forgo a lot of material things. She loved music, but had to quit piano lessons when my grandmother could no longer afford them. When walking to school, she was instructed by my grandmother to walk on the grass, not on the sidewalk, so the soles of her shoes would last longer. When she graduated from high school in the early 1930s and my grandmother started talking about college, one indignant relative would respond: "Eleanor can't go to college!" (presumably, because there was no money). And my grandmother, a wonderful, kind, and deeply religious woman, would say in a strong voice, "Eleanor's going to college."
She did go to college, too, earning an associate's degree from William Woods College in Fulton, Mo. In later years, my Mom would tire of my grandmother repeating that story, but its lesson meant so much to her — that with hard work and the support of others, they could find a way.
This summer, for a story on community Involvement for September's ASBJ, I interviewed Linda Henke, the recently retired superintendent of the Maplewood Richmond-Heights (Mo.) School District. Maplewood, as you recall, was a Grand Prize Winner of this year's Magna Awards for districts under 5,000 enrollment. They won for a most unusual initiative. Struck by the number of homeless boys in their small district – boys who tended to show up in Henke's office after school (perhaps because of the crackers, peanut butter, and frozen dinners she kept there) – Henke and the school board decided not to wait for the city, or the state, or someone else to face the problem of homelessness in their community: they bought a house themselves, formed a coalition, and turned the house into a homeless shelter for teenage boys.
Henke, a truly buoyant personality, told me of how she was walking around Maplewood one day and saw the big yellow Victorian with the "For Sale" sign in front.
"I thought, 'Wow,' she recalled. "That must be the house we're supposed to buy.'"
It was an audacious move that took courage, hard work, and quite a bit of faith. As of this summer, of the 14 boys enrolled in the program 13 have graduated or are on the graduation track. College, once out of the question, is no longer a fantasy.
I told Henke I that had a connection to St. Louis, to her still-working class town, and to the castle-like fortress, not far from her office, that is Maplewood High School.
"I grew up in St. Louis," I said, "and my Mom graduated from Maplewood High."

Sure, it may have been a banner day for the cast and crew of "American Hustle," "Gravity" and "12 Years a Slave," which all garnered multiple Academy Awards nominations, but what about those who were not nominated?
What about Tom Hanks in "Captain Phillips?" Or Emma Thompson in "Saving Mr. Banks?" Or the Coen Brothers for "Inside Llewyn Davis?" What film, actor or actress do you think suffered the greatest indignity by not getting an Oscar nomination?

Steven Curtis Chapman
His music a cross between '70s-style light rock and orchestrated pop, Steven Curtis Chapman has been one of the most prominent performers of contemporary Christian music since the '80s. Born and raised in Paducah, KY, Chapman learned to play several instruments while hanging out in his father's music store, excelling at guitar and piano.
As a young man, he enrolled as a pre-med student at Anderson College in Indiana. He soon decided to pursue a music career and dropped out to go to Nashville, where he began working in a music show at Opryland USA.
When not performing, he was busy writing songs, a skill he learned from his father. One of Chapman's tunes was recorded by the Imperials, a prominent gospel group, marking the beginning of his songwriting success; many of gospel and country's brightest stars, including Sandi Patti, Billy Dean, Glen Campbell, and Roger Whittaker, have gone on to record Chapman's songs. Although several different labels and music publishers were interested in him by 1987, he decided to sign with the major Christian music company Sparrow.
That year he cut his first album, First Hand. The first single released from the album, "Weak Days," made it to number two on the contemporary Christian chart.
His second album, 1988's Real Life Conversations, earned him four more hits, including the number one song "His Eyes." Co-written with James Isaac Elliott, it earned the Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year award from the Gospel Music Association in 1989. That year, he also won a GMA award for Best Songwriter of the Year.
Released later that year, his third album, More to This Life, contained four number one hits and in 1990 earned him an unprecedented ten nominations at the GMA Awards (he won five). His next album, For the Sake of the Call, which contained five number one singles and earned him another slew of GMA awards and his first Grammy in the Best Pop Gospel Album category, only strengthened his position as the king of Christian music. In 1992, Chapman made a successful bid to attract a more mainstream audience with The Great Adventure, which also won a Grammy, and its accompanying title track video.
When Sparrow Records was purchased by EMI/Liberty, they began marketing the album in discount stores, and in 1993, it went gold. Also released in 1993 (both as a video and CD), The Live Adventure won more GMA awards and also earned Chapman a new award from American Songwriter magazine, Songwriter and Artist of the Year.
Chapman released his seventh album, Heaven in the Real World, in 1994 and embarked on a major tour. In 1996, Chapman released Signs of Life, which was followed three years later by Speechless.
Though Chapman's albums had always done well on the Billboard CCM charts, in 2001, after the release of Declaration, he really began to get even more attention on the Top 200. Both it and 2002's All About Love peaked in the Top 15, and his 2004 record, All Things New, made it to number 22.
In September 2005, in time for the holiday season, Chapman released All I Really Want for Christmas, and the following year Musical Blessing came out. Beauty Will Rise arrived in 2009.
