|TRON: Uprising
General Tesler is the main antagonist of TRON: Uprising voiced by Lance Henriksen. He is one of Clu's generals and is extremely ambitious. Tesler rules over Argon City from his command ship.
Beck's Beginning
Tesler, being one of Clu's generals, was tasked with taking over a section of the Grid. This he successfully did, swiftly conquering Argon City with his army. He ran into complications, however, when the young program Beck fought back after seeing his friend derezzed before his eyes. Beck had destroyed a new statue of Clu and then overturned a Light Rail full of prisoners and freeing them. Tesler decided to handle the renegade himself but, in the ensuing duel, failed to derez Beck and was defeated: Beck effected Tesler's fall off a building by cutting off his arms. Helpless, unable to grab anything, Tesler fell a long way down onto a light rail beam where he was eventually rescued by Paige.
The Renegade, Part 1 & 2
After his embarrassing defeat at the hands of Beck, Tesler did not go on the front lines quite as much. He watched the games at the Coliseum, unaware that the Renegade that he so hated was fighting in the tournament, having been captured for breaking curfew. And so it was that before Tesler's eyes, Beck and another program defeated wave one of their enemies and then escaped. They were recaptured and brought back by Paige, but again they defeated the next round of opponents. Tesler remarked that they were "too good" and Pavel, his second-in-command, suggested that the two fight each other for freedom, thus eliminating the threat of programs beating the games. Then Cutler, Beck's accomplice, forfeited to prevent Beck and himself from killing each other. Tesler was willing to derez them both but Paige, showing her more compassionate side, convinced him to let the winner go free. So Tesler sent Beck off and had Pavel move Cutler to Argon Square to be derezzed.
This turned out to be a mistake, as Beck, once again in the guise of Tron, broke Cutler out and the two escaped from Argon City entirely. But Tesler wasn't giving up that easily. When the escapee and the Renegade jumped in a Light Boat to escape, Tesler gave pursuit in a boat of his own. He very nearly succeeded this time, but the duo was rescued by the actual Tron in his boat. Once again, Tesler had failed to derez the Renegade and achieve his ends.
When Tesler went to inspect his new energy drilling operation, he found that Paige had ordered the drill be shut down. Angered by this decision, Tesler ordered it turned back on and replaced Paige with Pavel to oversee the drilling. Before leaving, he told Paige she had been sloppy lately. He later made a public announcement that the renegade had tried to sap all the energy, and promised to find him and bring him to justice. He congratulated Paige on her idea for blaming the energy plot on the renegade.

State of Mind
Welcome Home
Personality and traits
Tesler is arrogant, ambitious, and despises being challenged. He has been known to summarily derez soldiers who bring him unwelcome news; when faced with actual traitors or rebels, he frequently toys with their hopes first, or sentences them to the games, watching with evil satisfaction as they struggle for their lives.
He is a silver-tongued tyrant, ruling Argon through force and fear while simultaneously blaming any chaos on the Renegade and convincing citizens that his cruel, arbitrary directives are for their own good. His skills at deception and rationalization are highlighted in his retention of Paige, whose values are very different from his own, as a valuable ally who believes wholeheartedly that he would never betray her.
Weakness in general is anathema to Tesler. He hates defeat, uncertainty, loss of face, lack of knowledge -- anything that could put him at a disadvantage in any way -- and tolerates the same in his troops as little as he tolerates them in himself. He also detests and fears his superiors due to their power and authority over him, and attempts to show his administration in its best light whenever they visit.
His hatred for the Renegade is complete; he denies any possibility that the rogue program is actually Tron or even Flynn himeself, and constantly plots to flush him out and destroy him. The Renegade's successes and his own failures to defeat him are a constant thorn in his side, to the point that a triumphant Renegade gloats over him in his nightmares -- a weakness and fear to which he would never admit. For his own satisfaction, Tesler demands a worthy adversary in the Renegade; anything less would be an insult to the Occupation.
Tesler, however, does appear to possess some more positive traits. He did express happiness when Paige was found alive despite her not being present to witness it, hinting he may at the very least appreciates her as a soldier. Tesler also released the prisoners when the Renegade asked as the General promised to do when he surrendered, despite the Renegade not having surrendered yet. Tesler also was disgusted by Hopper refusing to fight him and begging for mercy, calling the accused program a coward.
Powers and abilities
When Tesler ignites the prosthetics on his hands and forearms, he has the ability to block disc attacks or to generate a powerful electric charge which can break down and derez programs during prolonged contact. The augmented arms also pack a considerable punch, and Tesler can launch them up to sixty feet from his body to grapple or strike, even turning corners when an opponent dodges.
In Grounded, Tesler allowed Pavel to augment one of his arms with a massive cannon upgrade. When the upgrade is active, spikes protrude from his boots to anchor him against the cannon's hefty backlash.
Tesler prefers hand-to-hand fighting over using his identity disc, though he has been known to cast his disc on occasion. His fighting style is relentless and linear, focusing on crushing the programs in his path, often advancing slowly while pinning victims with his gauntlets in order to prolong their fear and suffering. When he believes himself to have an advantage, he also taunts his opponents verbally, attempting to impress them with their helplessness and the futility of resistance.
- General Tesler is most likely named for Larry Tesler, a computer scientist working in the field of human-computer interaction, who worked on the Compel and Pascal programming languages and has launched a campaign for modeless software.
- A deleted scene, presumably from the season finale, shows Tesler being punished by CLU by having his arms cut off by Dyson.

Recent Brandon Reviews
Our family vacation was a complete success, mainly because the house, pool and owners were outstanding. We plan to vacation there many times in the future. Because we were able to get the large home, we were able to have our four grandchildren and one nephew stay there with my husband and myself. We never wanted to leave. The children had room to play inside and out and there was never an issue about the noise because we had this great private wonderland. Horses to feed and pet were one of the highlights for the kids. I would recommend this Home Away to anyone that loves the outdoors, privacy and room to play. The house itself was terrific for me, I loved the Victorian appeal, the large kitchen counter and cooking area made a quick job of preparing and serving meals.Our family says THANKS to the friendly owners and we hope to see you again very soon.

Three years ago Jamie Smith was just a fresh-faced music geek obsessed with the infinite genres and subgenres of U.K. dance music. Now he's well on his way to becoming one of the most highly regarded DJ-producers around. As a member of the much-hyped London trio the xx, Smith has proven to be an ace purveyor of stripped-down bedroom pop; meanwhile his retoolings of songs by Adele and Florence + the Machine—as well as an ingenious reworking of soul legend Gil Scott-Heron's final recording—have shown that it's entirely possible to make an already killer cut that much better. Oh, and rumor has it Drake might be calling. "I used to listen to a lot of my parents' jazz and soul stuff," says Smith—aka Jamie xx—on the phone from the xx's studio in London (he's finishing up the band's highly anticipated second album, Coexist, out September 11 from Young Turks). "Then I discovered electronic music through the samples it was taking from soul. The whole electronic world keeps growing and progressing. It's fascinating." As the group's beat maker and producer, Smith rarely uses live percussion, instead employing a drum machine and programmed loops that are sometimes layered ten samples deep. He loves house and disco, but he's mostly been influenced by R&B and dubstep, a genre once defined by minimal sub-bass and echo effects and one that Smith thinks has taken a bit of a nosedive: "Now you've got people like Skrillex doing something very different from what dubstep set out to be. I don't really like using the term anymore, because it kind of means something else. It seems to have become very brash and in-your-face and made to make people go nuts in a club. Now it's music that only dudes will listen to." What Smith would deem true dubstep originated in South London, where he and his bandmates attended the Elliott School, alma mater of electronic acts including Hot Chip, Burial, and Four Tet. He studied drums for a year and a half, but soon abandoned formal training. "I took lessons in several different instruments," he says, "but I always quit because I don't really like being told what to do." Though the xx began collaborating with Diplo and Kewes on their debut album, Smith ultimately produced it himself. That record, xx, was released in 2009, just as Smith and singer-guitarist Romy Madley Croft and singer-bassist Oliver Sim were turning 20 (hence the title). At first the 11 songs—about first love, sex, and all the messy, ambiguous stuff in between—sounded unusually spare and spacious. Perhaps that's why there was initially something slightly cold and detached about it. The album only truly rewards after repeat listens with a badass pair of headphones. "We only put what we can play live on a record," says Smith. "That's always been our mentality. There's only three of us. We're quite simple, so we like our music simple." Talking with Smith confirms this: his explanations are always succinct, and it's difficult for him to articulate why he does what he does. "I don't think I ever really had a realization that I wanted to make music," he says. "It was just what I did since I can remember." He's not unfriendly. He just gives the impression that he can't wait to get back to his laptop to create and have some space of his own. While Smith strives to keep his arrangements for the xx tidy and nuanced—what he likes to call "classic"—his solo output as Jamie xx could be considered their schizophrenic cousin. His sputtering versions of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" and Florence + the Machine's cover of Candi Staton's "You Got the Love" could hardly be called remixes, as both divas' voices have been sliced, diced, and pitch-smacked into ghostly shadows of themselves. His gorgeous solo cut "Far Nearer" is anchored by a vocal sample from Janet Jackson's "Love Will Never Do (Without You)," but warps it beyond recognition. For Smith, lyrics and vocals are just another set of instruments, and he says he's less interested in glorifying the original artists than in deconstructing their songs in order to fashion something completely new—though "it's easier to make strong instrumentals with a powerful voice," he says. One of the voices that has resonated with him since his youth is that of Scott-Heron, the "godfather of rap," whom Smith discovered through his parents. After hearing Smith's work on xx, producer and XL Recordings owner Richard Russell tapped him to recontextualize I'm New Here, Scott-Heron's 2010 album, his first in 16 years. Smith met Scott-Heron in person a handful of times, but they discussed the project through handwritten letters. When Smith's magnificent remake, titled We're New Here, dropped in February 2011, it was wildly different from its source material, pairing Scott-Heron's talking blues with various samples from his career and snippets from other artists, such as Gloria Gaynor. Scott-Heron died three months later. "I was at a DJ festival in Barcelona at the time of his death," Smith recalls. "I came off the stage and someone told me just after I'd played [Scott-Heron's song] 'NY is Killing Me.' It was a very strange feeling, a mixture of adrenaline from coming off stage and morbidity…and sadness." Smith, who recently relocated to North London from Brixton, was inspired by a lot of house and U.K. underground while recording the xx's Coexist, but he's quick to clarify that "it's definitely not a dance album. It's just that our minds are more open to a whole world of music that we would never listen to before. I don't think it represents a new sound—it just represents our progression." As with xx, Smith's latest production packs the seductive punch to make Coexist the between-the-sheets soundtrack of the year. Percussion, though, plays a more dominant role: the track "Angels," for example, features Croft's trademark understated vocals and the threesome's standard guitar-bass-minimal-beat structure, until a military-drum loop creeps into the mix. "Charm" boasts a heavy hip-hop pulse, and "Sunset," with its throbbing techno backdrop, may be the closest the xx has come to a bona fide club anthem. When asked to sum up his vision for Coexist, Smith's answer is as simple as you'd expect. "We were all really naïve with the first album, which is the state that we tried to get into again when making this new record. I think we were all hoping to achieve a similar sense of just being in a room as three friends making music for fun again, because we hadn't done that in three years. We wanted to forget about the pressure. I think we actually managed to achieve that."

Founder Feedback gives you insights from the startup trenches.
In a post from the Red Rocket Ventures blog, George Deeb, Managing Partner of Red Rocket Ventures and Founder of iExplore, shares his top 6 key components for writing a business plan, starting with your industry and competition, and ending with your expected ROI.
Below, the post "Key Components for Writing a Business Plan" from George's "101 Startup Lessons - An Entrepreneur's Handbook" has been republished.
"When writing a business plan, it is critical to do research and set strategy across the following key topics: (1) your industry/competition; (2) business/revenue model; (3) sales/marketing plan; (4) management team; (5) cash requirements; and (6) forecasted financials/expected ROI. When you are done, you will end up with the necessary research to back up the key assumptions of your plan. We will tackle each of these points below.
Industry/Competition: To me, this is the most critical research that needs to be done upfront. How large is your industry? Who are the key competitors? How quickly is the industry growing? Are you a first mover, or entering a crowded space? What share of the market is reasonable to capture for your business? Investors like to invest in large, growing markets as a first mover with limited competition where a business can scale up to 10-20% share. So, pitching them the "next Google search engine" is a very large market opportunity, but would be very difficult to build with large, well compitalized competitors in the search space that would aggressively defend their turf. On the flip side, pitching them the newest patentable innovation in door hinges may be perceived as less competitive and disruptive in the marketplace, but the market is really small to build material scale. You need that right intersection of large market opportunity, disruptive/defensible business and limited competition.
Business/Revenue Model: Now that you have found your ripe industry opportunity, what kind of business are you building? A hardware solution? An installed software solution? Software as a service? And, more importantly, how are you going to make money? One time purchase? Recurring monthly revenues? Heavy repeat usage? Where are your prices vs. competitors? What value are you bringing vs. current solutions in the market? Investors obviously prefer large and recurring revenue streams for disruptive businesses that bring terrific value to their customers.
Sales/Marketing Plan: The next step is figuring out your go-to-market strategy? Does the product appeal to business clients (B2B) or consumers (B2C)? Is it dependent on building a big team of salespeople? Does it require a heavy investment in consumer marketing? If marketing, is it going to be driven by the search engines online or direct mailers or trade shows? Does it require any social media or viral elements for success? Typically sales-driven B2B business are cheaper to launch than marketing-driven B2C businesses. But, B2B businesses are sometimes harder to get investor interest, as they have a much longer sales cycle (e.g., read longer cash burn) and it is very difficult for a startup to break open new B2B relationships, especially one going after large corporations. And, B2C businesses that can be virally grown online, are much preferred to ones requiring heavy investment in expensive TV, Radio or print (which frankly you should never use to launch a business until the concept is proven out, given their heavy expense and long-term branding aspects of such media). And, in all cases, make sure the marketing or sales investment makes sense for the scale of revenues you are trying to build (e.g., is there a reasonable customer cost of acquisition metric compared to traditional industry norms).
Management Team: To me, this is the most important element to any business. I would rather have an A+ management team in a B- industry, than a B- management team in an A+ industry. You want a team that has "been there and done that" before in a start-up environment, and will not be experimenting and learning with your limited startup capital. Please re-read my previous post for more details on how to build a team for your startup in a way that will most appeal to investors.
Cash Requirements: Sales and marketing investment will drive revenues. Revenues will have cost of sales. And the business will have overhead and other employee costs. That will determine how much of an operating loss you will need to fund. On top of that, will be any capital expenditures that need to be put into R&D for your product, capex for your office or whatever. So, fully think through your cash requirements before approaching an investor. And, two words of wisdom: (i) investors prefer lower burn rate, lower cash need businesses (so a $1MM need has a better chance than a $10MM need); and (ii) whatever the model says you need, double it for your cash raise (as things ultimately go wrong and you will want a cushion in place, to prevent going back to investors looking for more later--most likely at worse terms).
Financial Requirements/ROI: The last check is a sanity check more than anything else. Over the next 3-5 years, will the investor realize a 3x return or a 10x return on their investment? And, there are two drivers of that: (i) the scale of the revenues/profits in that period; and (ii) the valuation at which the investor invested their money. Obviously, investors are looking for 10x opportunities, so make sure your financial model gives them a reasonable chance to achieve such, either via scale or valuation.
Once you have completed your business plan, you would materially pare back this information before presenting it to investors, depending on your need (e.g., a 1-2 page executive summary for preliminary introductions to investors via email; 14-15 slides for an in-person presentation). Never lead with a 30-40 page document; nobody will read it past the first page given limited investor attention span and lots of competing investment opportunities. So, make sure you get to the point, short and sweet. And remember, graphic presentations always make a better impact than words, where possible. So, provide screenshots of the product, instead of describing it in sentences.
My uncle is a successful executive and investor, and he once said to me: "if you can't communicate your vision in one sentence, you are making it too complicated for the listener to digest". Good advice!!"

Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs)
Portland's River Alert Program
There is currently no combined sewer overflow (CSO) advisory in effect.
Environmental Services issues a CSO advisory each time Portland's combined sewer system overflows.
In December 2011, Portland completed a 20-year program to improve the sewer system and reduce annual Willamette River CSO volume by 94%. The West Side and East Side Big Pipes collect and convey most combined sewage to the city's wastewater treatment plant. The program reduced CSO events from an average of 50 per year to no more than four per winter and one every third summer.
For more information about the River Alert program, call 503-823-2479.

Africa Barrick Gold (ABG) has reaffirmed plans to continue investing in its Tanzanian operations this year and beyond, in order to improve efficiency in its four gold mines and explore the potential of developing a fifth mine at its Nyanzaga deposit.
"The operations continue to make progress. We've had our challenges over the last couple of years, and it's vitally important that we seek to deliver what we have set out to the market and to ourselves during 2012 and beyond," African Barrick Gold CEO Greg Hawkins, said.
"We are looking for growth .... You would have heard us talk about the Nyanzaga project -- the 'Tusker' deposit -- and the potential delivered by our exploration team which has worked very, very hard over the last 18 months to declare a 4-million ounce resource out there. So, a real potential fifth mine in Tanzania and something that can really grow the business over the next few years," Hawkins said.
ABG acquired Tusker Gold in May 2010, giving the company 100 percent control of the Nyanzaga project.
Hawkins, speaking at the Barrick Excellence Awards ceremony at Buzwagi mine this week, reaffirmed ABG's commitment to Tanzania in mining gold.
ABG targets increased overall output for its four gold-producing mines in Tanzania -- Bulyanhulu, North Mara, Buzwagi and Tulawaka - and will look to control cash costs further, he said.
"Cash costs are a key focus for us. Our best leverage for improving our cash cost per ounce performance is to produce more ounces and I think we've got some options at all the mines to be able to improve the production level and that will help us manage our cash cost per ounce," he added.
The largest gold miner in the world, with current production of close to 700,000 ounces of gold in Tanzania, ABG plans to boost production to one million ounces in the country per year by 2014.
The company, which has invested around USD2bn in its Tanzanian operations so far, currently employs 5,400 people.
Hawkins applauded ABG employees who were awarded the 2011 excellence awards in various fields, including safety, security, community relations and the environment.
"I congratulate all the winners. We should all be very proud ... there are not too many of these awards that are handed out across the entire organisation, so you should be very proud," he said.
"To the teams that have put in the effort and the individuals that have received the awards, this is an enormous achievement," he said. Some senior officials from ABG's parent company, Toronto-based Barrick Gold Corporation, attended the employees' excellence award ceremony at the Buzwagi mine in Tanzania.
Barrick's Vice-President for Safety, Health and Risk, Craig Ross, said ABG's mines in Tanzania had made great strides in improving their health and safety performances over the past few years.
"If you look at the health and safety statistics across the board at ABG, you can see significant improvements," he said.
"What has been done with the safety awards -- recognizing people -- is to see that expanded to the environmental awards, CSR (corporate social responsibility) awards and security awards. It shows the company ethos, which is all about people," he said.

Successional Soils: How edaphic conditions change within aggrading forests in a case study of the North Carolina Piedmont
The research conducted on loblolly plantations across the South provides consistent, verifiable data on the effects of rising levels of CO2 on this species—and clues for how forest management in the South could adapt to climate change. (Photo by Rodney Kindlund, U.S. Forest Service, http://www.srs.fs.usda.gov/)
Soil composition—its abiotic physical and chemical properties—changes under an aggrading forest. Through "space for time studies" in the Piedmont of North Carolina, researchers have examined changes in soil composition and processes among three successional stages of old fields. Differences in nitrification rates, nutrient concentration, and acidity indicate that soil nutrient availability decreases during the course of forest succession.
Soil Change Through Time
The characteristics of forest change are highly interconnected with changes in soil conditions through time. A positive relationship exists between species richness and soil nutrient availability. Organisms can change the chemical composition of the soil, which in turn influences the forest composition. For example, some species of trees and other plants decrease soil pH while others increase nitrogen availability. Much study and speculation has focused on the processes and direction of soil changes. Classical, Clementsian succession theory suggested that soil conditions should improve with forest stand age given increases in soil organic matter and soil nutrients. Subsequent research has shown the loss of essential soil nutrients through leaching, chemical fixation in unusable forms, or sequestration in dead organic matter as a more typical case for soil alteration. Peet notes that if soil nutrients maintain a constant supply rate, their availability should be inversely related to the rate at which they are sequestered within biomass as it accumulates. Eventually a steady state evolves where nutrient loss from both living and dead biomass equals uptake.
Soil Studies in the Piedmont
In North Carolina, Piedmont soils suffered significant losses of fertility and high levels of erosion due to exhaustive agricultural practices throughout the 19th century. By the early 20th century, most farms—and their depleted soils—had been abandoned. Secondary succession upon these old fields proceeds from an initial cover of herbs through pine stands to mixed hardwood stands. During the past 50 years, researchers have examined plots in old field, pine, and hardwood stages as a means of studying secondary succession and forest soil change.
Concepts of Organized Change
Coile studied soil changes in the Duke Forest shortly after its establishment in 1938, finding that carbon:nitrogen (C:N) levels were higher in forested stands than in old fields. Coile suggested that nitrification proceeded more slowly in forest soils than in fields, highlighting the idea that nitrification decreases with increasing successional age. Since less nitrification leads to less plant-available nitrogen, this "could result in increased ecosystem nutrient retention consistent with the general 'strategy of ecosystem development'".
Nitrification Re-visited in the Duke Forest
In a study of old field, pine, and oak-hickory hardwood plots located on Ultisols of the White Store series, Montes and Christensen found that the two forested ecosystems had higher concentrations of ammonium and lower concentrations of nitrate, as well as less nitrifying bacteria, than old field plots. Nitrate production rates were highest in soils of old fields, intermediate in hardwood soils, and lowest in pine soils, in accordance with Coile's findings. Soils within the pine stands were sandier as well as lower in pH, organic matter (probably from coarse texture), and cation exchange capacity (CEC) than either the hardwood or old-field soils. Old field soils contained more clay. Rather than the result of succession, the study concluded that soil differences derived from initial site conditions and histories of cultivation, liming, and erosion.

Christensen and MacAller revisited the limited nitrification in mature ecosystems found in the 1979 study. They noted the proposed mechanisms which have been offered for this successional process: allelopathy; variations in soil inorganic chemical characteristics (pH, cation, and phosphate availability); and competitive relations between heterotrophic microbes, plant roots, and nitrifying bacteria due to C:N and availability of reduced carbon (C). The only clear trends found in the data were higher pH as well as concentrations of calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), and phosphate- phosphorus (PO4-P) in old field soils. (These findings coincide with those of Richter et al., which demonstrated increasing acidity and decreasing concentrations of Ca and Mg during succession.) Christensen and MacAller asserted that variation of the factors limiting ammonification and nitrification among sites within successional ages should be assessed in order to form generalizations about soil change during succession.
A general principle of soil succession still eludes researchers due to the lack of causal mechanisms. Yet, changes in soil composition can be measured in the Piedmont: old field soil conditions do not match those of hardwood stands, reflecting biological and edaphic alterations through time.

At least they'd be talking about what you'd expect them to be talking about.
I would listen to Perrault from time to time when I lived in that area and thought he was OK. Either I wasn't listening enough or he's a lot better when he has a vested interest in what he's covering.
I heard Miller talking yesterday (Matt on vacation) about how Matt is so good he'll be gone from this market soon. Found that interesting.
This is what happens when you pay people 10 cents to do a show.
They should just stick with larry the cable guy christmas songs for the whole show tomorrow, instead of a few seconds.
I don't do signatures. Blondes, brunettes, and red heads are a different story.
HAHA good stuff here. I usually give Tim and Travis a shot each morning but usually turn it after 10 min. This morning was horrible, couldn't take a call! The guy was gonna talk about sport betting I believe, who the hell wants to listen to that in the morning?
I never started listening! Precious minutes of my life - unwasted!
"Explode and tear this whole town apart
Take a knife and cut this pain from my heartFind somebody itching for something to start"
"The Promised Land" Bruce Springsteen
I only caught the end, take my wife to work every morning and this morning it was XM holiday music.... Not sure that's a step up.
I actually enjoyed the 7:30-8:00 time which is when I listen. It did not include Tim, who seems like a nice guy, but does not have the voice for the radio.
I kind of get tired when it comes to all the complaining directed at local radio personalities, but on the other hand, the Des Moines market has had more than a few turd sandwiches shoved down its collective throat.
Travis and Tim seem like nice guys that mean well, but there is nothing interesting about either of them. Their show is awful and there is absolutely no reason to listen to KxNO until the Dan Patrick show starts.
"Karl Malone love making up jokes. Karl Malone always say, 'laughter is the best Mexican.' "

Travis was pretty good when he was on Todd & Tyler here in Omaha.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Christmas came early for 5-year-old Olivia and 175 other kids. She's never had a bike before, but thanks to the Santa Wheels program, she's got some wheels of her own.
Once a year at Master Buick GMC, pedal power is more important than horse power.
George Sleister, founder of Santa Wheels, who used to work at the dealership, got the idea to give bikes to kids in 1995 after finding one in the trash.
"I thought it was a good bike. All it needed was a couple of tires. I brought it in the shop and we repaired the bike. Pretty soon, word got around that I was going to give it to a needy child," Sleister said.
Goodwill hires workers to refurbish the bikes, Andy Jordan's provides parts and Safe Kids of Georgia donates helmets for all the kids.
However, Sleister says others deserve credit, too.
"The community has been great. They've come together. We've got a lot of cash donations this year. We've added probably 25 new bikes this year," he said.
To get help to the families most in need, parents apply through the Christmas Clearing House. Next year, Sleister says he hopes even more families make the the list, so more kids like Olivia can smile like this on Christmas.
"I don't think it will ever be enough. As soon as every child that wants a bike gets a bike that parents can't afford to buy one," Sleister said.
Helping is easy. You can donate bikes year-round at Goodwill and Master Buick GMC begins collecting bikes in October.

Area: 3,929,557 square kilometers.
* Venezula
* Colombia
* Ecuador
* Peru
* Bolivia
* Argentina
Geography and Vegetation: Extremely diverse with regard to topography, from near sea level to more than 5000 meters elevation, with a continuous cordillera system that becomes in places narrow, divides and joins. Vegetation varies in the lowlands from very wet or very dry forest to semi-desert, to dry or wet premontane forest or dry inter-Andean vallies, to open dry or wet montane forest or elevated valley deserts. Finally the alpine zone, either wet or dry paramo and puna, are often either somewhat isolated as in the former, or exist as extensive plains. Overall, plant communities represented in the Tropical Andes, like species diversity in the region, is probably one of the highest in the world.
Vascular Plant Diversity: Absolutely unknown, more than 50,000 species.
Diversity: Liverworts 1000 species, Mosses 1400+ species. Estimated by country: Venezuela - 852, Colombia - 953, Ecuador - 954, Peru - 882, Bolivia - 1136. Country estimates change continuously due to newly described species or new country records that increase the number, and newly recognized synonyms that reduce the number of species.
Endemism for Higher Taxa: There are no endemic families recorded for the Tropical Andes. There are 23 endemic genera presently recognized for the Tropical Andes. Two sections of Sphagnum are also endemic to the region. Fifteen of the 23 genera are listed under the individual countries. The following endemic genera are known from 2 or more Tropical Andean countries:
Allioniellopsis Ochyra - Sematophyllaceae: A. cryphaeoides (Broth.) Ochyra is known from the eastern Andean slopes of Ecuador and Peru at elevations from 750 to 1400 m. A monotypic genus, this branch epiphyte is known only from three collections inhabiting premontane to low montane forest.
Callicostellopsis Broth. - Pilotrichaceae: C. meridiensis (Müll. Hal.) Broth. is known from Venezuela and Bolivia at elevations from 3500 to 3620 m. A monotypic genus, related to Helicoblepharum and Lepidopilum group, found on exposed rocks and shrubs in moist or wet páramo and puna.
Erythrophyllopsis Broth. - Pottiaceae: Two species: E. andina (Sull.) R.H. Zander Müll. Hal.) and E. zanderi M.J. Cano & J.A. Jiménez. The genus is distributed from Venezuela to Bolivia and northern Argentina at elevations from 2750 to 4720 m. A genus found on soil and rocks in somewhat dry, open scrub montane to páramo and puna.
Gertrudiella Broth. - Pottiaceae: G. validinervis (Herzog) Broth. Previously known only from Bolivia, now recroded for northwest Argentina and southern Peru; at elvations from 300-2940 m. This species is locally quite common in the dry inter-Andean valleys and to some extent in Chaco and Chaco Serrano forest, at least for the departments of Chuquisaca and Santa Cruz of Bolivia, found in dry open thorn- and spine-forest on soil.
Porotrichopsis Broth. - Neckeraceae: P. flacca Herzog is known from mid to upper montane forest of Colombia and Bolivia at elevations from 2000-3800 m. This species is found on logs and shrubs in somewhat open sites. This species probably is a good example of an inconspicuous plant that has simply been overlooked in the intervening countries of Ecuador and Peru.
Sciuroleskea Hampe - Stereophyllaceae: Two endemic species - S. mittenii (Spruce) M. Fleisch. is known from Ecuador and Peru, at elevations from 1300-2150 m, epiphytic in semidry montane forest; S. xanthophylla (Hampe & Lorentz) Broth. is known from Ecuador and Bolivia at elevations from 3050-3160 m; possibly epiphytic.
Stenodesmus (Mitt.) A. Jaeger - Pilotrichaceae: S. tenuicuspis (Mitt.) A. Jaeger is known from premontane forest of Colombia and Ecuador at elevations from 700-925 m. This species, found as an epiphyte on tree branches (probably shrubs and treelets also), is apparently rare, only three known collections.
Sphagnum section Cuculliformes H. A. Crum - Sphagnaceae: S. cuculliforme H. A. Crum is known from Colombia and Ecuador at elevations from 1800-2000 m in wet premontane to low monatne open forest.
Species Endemism: The number of mosses endemic to the Tropical Andes is estimated at about 960. That figure is inflated owing to numerous superfluous species described in the 19th and early 20th century. There may be 300-400 endemic species, but that is simply a guess at the present time.
Floristic Coverage: As with much of the Neotropics, there remain large portions of the Andes that have been little or not at all explored for mosses. The majority of historical and even many recent collections have been made near major cities and principle routes between cities. During the final three decades of the 20th century both the number of localities and collections increased significantly throughout the region. With regard to countries, relative ranking of the Tropical Andes would likely be, at present, Ecuador as best inventoried, followed by Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia, and least, Peru. Level of inventory assessment of the tropical Andean countries for bryophytes is here considered minimal - has only started.
TROPICOS. The number of bryophyte collections from the tropical Anden countries in the Missouri Botanical Garden TROPICOS system data base is more than 54,000.
Herbaria. Information on herbaria presented here and under the various countries is based on the current information provided by Index Herbariorum http://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/IndexHerbariorum.asp.
The following European and North American herbaria contain important historical and recent (hopefully not original) collections from the Tropical Andes.

Prior to this year's Brandon Sun Spartan Invitational varsity boys high school basketball tournament, Neelin Spartans captain Theo Farough was approached by Adam Philpott.
Philpott told Farough that he was named the tournament's MVP the last time Neelin won the event in 2004 and now it's his turn. Farough admitted after the tournament ended at Neelin's gymnasium on Saturday night that he took Philpott's comments lightly, but he made good on them. The 6-foot-1 forward scored 27 points and was named the Tri-Star Screen Printing Division's MVP as the Spartans defeated the Selkirk Royals 77-66 in their division final.

What is the most important information I should know about ibuprofen?
This medicine may cause life-threatening heart or circulation problems such as heart attack or stroke, especially if you use it long term. Do not use ibuprofen just before or after heart bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG).
Get emergency medical help if you have chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, slurred speech, or problems with vision or balance.
This medicine may also cause serious effects on the stomach or intestines, including bleeding or perforation (forming of a hole). These conditions can be fatal and can occur without warning while you are taking ibuprofen, especially in older adults.
Call your doctor at once if you have symptoms of stomach bleeding such as black, bloody, or tarry stools, or coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds.
Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of ibuprofen can cause damage to your stomach or intestines. Use only the smallest amount of ibuprofen needed to get relief from your pain, swelling, or fever.
What is ibuprofen?
Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Ibuprofen works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body.
Ibuprofen is used to reduce fever and treat pain or inflammation caused by many conditions such as headache, toothache, back pain, arthritis, menstrual cramps, or minor injury.
Ibuprofen may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking ibuprofen?
Do not use ibuprofen just before or after heart bypass surgery (coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG).
This medicine may cause life-threatening heart or circulation problems such as heart attack or stroke, especially if you use it long term.
This medicine may also cause serious effects on the stomach or intestines, including bleeding or perforation (forming of a hole). These conditions can be fatal and can occur without warning while you are taking ibuprofen, especially in older adults.
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to ibuprofen, aspirin or other NSAIDs.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to take this medication if you have:
- a history of heart attack, stroke, or blood clot;
- heart disease, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure;
- a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding;
- asthma;
- polyps in your nose;
- liver or kidney disease;
- systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE);
- a bleeding or blood clotting disorder; or
- if you smoke.
FDA pregnancy category D. Taking ibuprofen during the last 3 months of pregnancy may harm the unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using ibuprofen.
It is not known whether ibuprofen passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Do not give this medicine to a child without the advice of a doctor.
How should I take ibuprofen?
Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of ibuprofen can cause damage to your stomach or intestines. The maximum amount of ibuprofen for adults is 800 milligrams per dose or 3200 mg per day (4 maximum doses). Use only the smallest amount of ibuprofen needed to get relief from your pain, swelling, or fever.
Take ibuprofen with food or milk to lessen stomach upset.
Shake the oral suspension (liquid) well just before you measure a dose. To be sure you get the correct dose, measure the liquid with a marked measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
The ibuprofen chewable tablet must be chewed before you swallow it.
If you take ibuprofen for a long period of time, your doctor may want to check you on a regular basis to make sure this medication is not causing harmful effects. Do not miss any scheduled visits to your doctor.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not allow the liquid medicine to freeze.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Since ibuprofen is taken as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are taking the medication regularly, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. Overdose symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, drowsiness, black or bloody stools, coughing up blood, shallow breathing, fainting, or coma.
What should I avoid while taking ibuprofen?
Avoid taking ibuprofen if you are taking aspirin to prevent stroke or heart attack. Ibuprofen can make aspirin less effective in protecting your heart and blood vessels. If you must use both medications, take the ibuprofen at least 8 hours before or 30 minutes after you take the aspirin (non-enteric coated form).
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cold, allergy, or pain medicine. Ibuprofen and other NSAIDs are contained in many combination medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much ibuprofen. Check the label to see if a medicine contains ibuprofen or similar NSAIDs (aspirin, naproxen, ketoprofen).
Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of stomach bleeding.
What are the possible side effects of ibuprofen?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop taking ibuprofen and seek medical attention or call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
- chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, slurred speech, problems with vision or balance;
- black, bloody, or tarry stools, coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds;
- swelling or rapid weight gain;
- urinating less than usual or not at all;
- nausea, upper stomach pain, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);

Ask your doctor before using an antidepressant such as citalopram (Celexa), escitalopram (Lexapro), fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem, Symbyax), fluvoxamine (Luvox), paroxetine (Paxil), or sertraline (Zoloft). Taking any of these medicines with an NSAID may cause you to bruise or bleed easily.
Tell your doctor about all other medicines you use, especially:
- aspirin or other NSAIDs such as naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn, Naprelan, Treximet), celecoxib (Celebrex), diclofenac (Arthrotec, Cambia, Cataflam, Voltaren, Flector Patch, Pennsaid, Solareze), indomethacin (Indocin), meloxicam (Mobic), and others;
