To me ethics on this subject is as long as the odds are in the animals favor, which i have seen bears wind hunters or baits not set up clean and they won't come in because of human scent, one comment that was brought up and i just have to throw in is food plots. In my opinion it is not unethical i guess, but i don't think those animals should be allowed in the record books, humans are now making the trophy not mother nature
I agree Elkoholic and T43, hunters need to stick together not argue about whether what other hunters are doing is ethical or not. Same goes with all the issues mentioned by MI-address-ROCKYMTN-heart. I have made a couple comments on this forum against long range shooting but now I realize that these are personal choices every hunter has to make and as long as they are legal it is not for me to judge. There are so many anti-hunting animal rights groups out there fighting against us that we can't afford to lose any of the rights we have right now. That being said I think all hunters need to work at representing hunting in a good light to the non-hunting community in order to insure we can enjoy this sport in the future.
On a side note Wyoming just passed a bill stating that hunting, fishing and trapping are a right and not a privilege so that is pretty awesome.
I'm not against it where it's legal, but the only way I'll ever hunt bears is spot-and-stalk. Maybe it's because that's all I've ever known(MT doesn't allow baiting or hounds), but I love it that way. Baiting to me just sounds too 'easy'. I understand it takes work to set up bait sites and that following hounds is hard, but most of the work is being done by someone(hounds) or something(peanut butter and marshmallows) else. JMO.

(NBC) -- The rumors surrounding Apple's press event, scheduled for Oct. 23, are deafening. Will the Cupertino-based company announce a smaller iPad? (It had better.) Will the company offer up a 13-inch MacBook Pro with a Retina display? (Very likely!) How about an Apple-branded coffee maker? (No.)
We'll find out for certain which rumors are true at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET on Tuesday, when NBC News' tech/sci editor Wilson Rothman will be inside the event, covering it live here (and tweeting at @wjrothman). For now, let's sort through the latest gossip and making our best guesses. Here's what Apple might announce:
iPad Mini (or is that "iPad Air"?)
We suspect that the smaller iPad will be a 7.85-inch device. This particular size has been floating around for over half a year, since a report in the Wall Street Journal suggested that Apple is testing a device about eight inches in size. Since that time, we've heard various other outlets cite their own anonymous sources in order to back up these measurements and narrow them down to the 7.85-inch point.
Odds are high that the smaller iPad will not have a high-resolution Retina display like the iPhone 5 or the third-generation iPad. A Bloomberg report suggests it will use a slightly lower resolution display and be priced to compete with Google's Nexus 7 tablet (and other lower-cost tablets such as those made by Amazon or Barnes & Noble).
According to Apple watcher John Gruber, the smaller iPad may look a lot like a large iPod Touch, rather than any other current Apple device, and have a somewhat smaller bezel. Simple logic suggests that the device will have a Lightning connector, just like the iPhone 5 and the latest iPod touch devices. Rumors regarding the guts of the so-called "iPad Mini" - or "iPad Air," as some rumors suggest it will be called - have been scattered and leave us hesitant to hazard many guesses about that aspect of the device. (Most of the noise is around an A5 processor and 512MB of RAM, for what it's worth - about the same specs as an iPad 2.)
As far as the price goes though, it's all about educated guesswork. As our own Wilson Rothman pointed out, $249 would be the magic price tag for this tablet. "I think that $249 is the 'all other tablets are dead' price, and $299 is the 'Apple keeps its market share while making a comfortable profit' price. Anywhere over $300 is a "not good" price," Rothman concludes. "Not in today's market, not with a full-sized iPad 2 selling for $400 and a Retina-display iPad selling for $500."
That pricing logic may not win out, however. As 9to5Mac reported, Apple's smaller iPad may be priced at $329, in order to sit somewhere between the $299 iPod Touch and the $399 iPad 2.
13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display
According to multiple reports, both from purportedly "reliable sources" cited by 9to5 Mac's Mark Gurman and analysts cited by CNET's Brooke Crothers, Apple will show off a 13-inch version of the MacBook Pro with Retina display. This laptop will supposedly be "sold in two configurations, with differing processors and storage, and will be available for purchase soon after introduction," Gurman explains.
A report by the 9to5 Mac staff additionally suggests that the new laptops will start at around $1699. This price tag would belong to the base-model, according to the report, and a higher end version of the laptopwould cost about $200 or $300 more.
This new laptop is expected to co-exist with its larger siblings, so don't worry that the current MacBook Pro with Retina display models will disappear from shelves.
A new-new iPad
The folks at 9to5 Mac call attention to a photo allegedly showing a device which appears identical to the third-generation iPad, except for one small change: It has a Lightning connector instead of a 30-pin connector. One could speculate that the device will see a minor refresh, though it's questionable what sort of other changes might be made, beyond the connector.
Would Apple be crazy enough to refresh the third-generation iPad after just seven months? It would be unprecedented, but not totally outside the realm of possibility.
The other little things
It wouldn't be surprising if Apple were to announce some minor refreshes to its iMac and Mac Mini lines. According to MacRumor's handy-dandy buyer's guide, both of the product lines are certainly due for some changes. While the New York Times' David Pogue, citing an Apple exec, did peg a Mac Pro refresh for 2013, there seems to be wiggle room on the arrival date of a new iMac.
As a French Apple blogger discovered, there's also a chance that we'll also see some news related to ibooks, Apple's ebook software. After all, there appear to be apps referencing iBooks 3.0 already.
Oh, and let's not forget about the obligatory iTunes update. What would an Apple event be without one of those?

|Choirs present program packed with music
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Vocal students define music as "It's not what I do, it's who I am," and they certainly took that to heart and to the stage Thursday, May 9 at their annual spring concert in the HHS auditorium.
Under the direction of vocal teacher Marcia Dalton, Holyoke junior high and high school choirs entertained with a variety of songs. Dalton also teamed up with Maury Kramer to lead the Select Choir called Sound Check. Sharon Strauss helped out on piano accompaniment.
Song selections for the junior high group included "Seize the Day," "Light Up the World" and "Good Time," with soloists Tyler Lamm, Drew Stewart, Mackenzie Golden, Regan Van Overbeke, Cassidy Hale and Mariah Pell.

High school choir took the stage for an impressive "Les Miserables Medley," featuring soloists Megan Vieselmeyer, Dani Brandt, Lori McWilliams, Kaety Overton, Destiny Loh-man and Sidney Struckmeyer.
The HHS vocalists also sang "Inscription of Hope" with Taylor Goldenstein on flute and narrator Logan Gift and "Anyway" with soloist Alex McCallum.
Sound Check had a big night with several numbers. The funny "Forever Polyester" featured soloists Eva Penzing and Ben Martinez, while soloist Jose Jaquez led the group in "Some Nights." A tricky routine with glow-in-the-dark cups highlighted Sound Check's "Home" song.
Sound Check member Dani Brandt works her magic with the group's cup routine during "Home."
The Sound Check ladies sang "A Thousand Years" with Martinez on guitar, as well as "Landslide," with guitarists Martinez and Jaydin Goldenstein and soloists Erin Vieselmeyer, Elissa Baker and Camille Elliott.
Martinez and Goldenstein took center stage again with their guitars when the Sound Check men performed "Rhythm of Love," featuring Goldenstein as soloist.
Both junior high and high school choirs combined for "Bonse Aba" with soloists Struckmeyer and Gift and "Like an Eagle" with piano accompanist Whitney Powell.
Pre-concert and concert entertainment allowed many junior high and high school vocalists to get some experience in front of a crowd with solos and small group numbers.
Thursday's solos included "Listen" by Overton,"Red is the Rose" by McCallum, "Danny Boy" by Lohman, "I Will Always Love You" by Gabriela Masis, "You Raise Me Up" by Elliott and "When I'm Gone (The Cup Song)" by Powell, as well as songs by Jaxie Gerk, Autumn Higgs, Logan Osborne and Mackenzie Thompson.

Duets were "Worn" by Jaxie and Chandler Gerk, "Born Again" by Baker and Jaquez, "Blessings" by Erin and Megan Vieselmeyer, "As Long as You Love Me" by Brittney Prottsman and Trevor Dalton with guitarist Martinez and "For Good" by Powell and Emily Krogmeier, as well as duets by Overton and Becca Weaver, Kaitlyn Shafer and Tara Krueger and Megan Humphreys and Brendan Mayden.
Ensembles included Krogmeier, Powell, Osborne, Krueger, Jaxie Gerk, Thompson and Juana Penzing singing "Clouds" and a trio of America Gonzales Burciaga, Rosmery Turcios and Jasmine Cazares.
Dalton recognized and honored the vocal seniors at Thursday's concert. They included Jordan Bernard, Alexis Lenhart, Weaver, Baker, Elliott, Erin Vieselmeyer, Goldenstein, Jaquez and Martinez. She also said goodbye to exchange student Elli Ahro.

I have read that the RE will get around 80 - 85 miles per gallon. Is that a US gallon or a real one? The reason I ask is that I am getting about 65mpg (in the USA) which is around 80 miles per Imperial gallon. I have around 1,400 miles on my G5.
Currently £6.23 ($9.86) per Gallon !!
I'm a new rider with a 2010 C5, just breaking it in. I've ridden about 800 miles, mostly in city traffic below 40mph with a lot of stop-and-go, some intermittent short stretches of highway. Almost all my riding has been in New York City. The best I've achieved is about 42 MPG (US). Is this normal? Should I be expecting better?For what it's worth, I'm a heavy person (250 lbs). My shifting technique is probably fine - I have 30 years experience driving a manual transmission car.

In season: summer
Raspberries, one of the highlights of summer.
What's hot for summer? Lynne Mullins checks out the latest looks in fruit and vegetables.
Anticipation of Christmas starts to build in early December and the pace finally slows down as we settle into a sizzling hot summer.
The huge variety of sweet succulent fruit and tender crisp vegetables available at the markets during this time is almost overwhelming and the festive season is celebrated with traditional bounty, from free-range turkey to rosy radishes, redcurrants and luscious mangoes. Midsummer it's time to enjoy passionfruit, prawns and juicy stone fruit as well as all produce that can be cooked on the barbecue.
Piquant red and white currants only have a brief season, so buy them when they are available and use them as a spectacular garnish or as petite jewels in a salad.
Mangoes are top of the list during the hot steamy months, peaking in January and February, even though some varieties are available during spring. Kensington Pride, a soft medium-size fruit with a rich orange skin tinged with a red blush, is the most popular and makes an appearance on the greengrocers' shelves from late September until March.
Calypso, R2E2 and Honey Gold are other mango varieties worth seeking out.
Exotic achacha fruit are now grown in tropical Queensland and their tangy effervescent flavour takes a summer dish to the next level. The vibrant orange egg-shaped fruit will be available from December until March and should be stored at room temperature.
Super salads wouldn't be the same without juicy tomatoes and there are many types to include with your next outdoor meal.
Green to reddish brown kumatoes were originally developed in Spain and are now readily available, along with elegant truss and heirloom types, which come in a vast array of sizes, colours and shapes.
Keep an eye out for ox-heart, plum, beef steak and cherry varieties, which all have different textures and flavours. The longer vine-ripened tomatoes are left on the vine, the sweeter they become and it's also worth noting that these will last longer after harvest.
Heirloom carrots come in a rainbow of colours from purple, red, white, yellow and black and are available in gourmet greengrocers. As well as being a wonderful source of Vitamin A they will add a kaleidoscope of colour to your plate.
Zucchini and zucchini flowers are at their best in the warmer months. Look for yellow and pale green (Lebanese) fruit in addition to the more familiar dark green variety.
The new kid on the block in the berry family is the karakaberry, an improved form of the blackberry, grown primarily in the Yarra Valley. It is much bigger and sweeter than a normal blackberry and will be in stores from the start of November to the start of January.
Top five picks by month
Farmed local black tiger prawns
Western and Southern rock lobsters
Heirloom tomatoes
Reed avocadoes
Summer - the full list
Below is a series of summer recipes and guides from the goodfood.com.au collection.

To the editor:
On behalf of the Museum of the Marine and Hope for the Warriors, I would like to thank our wonderful community for its support of our recent Military Heroes Golf Tournament charity event.
Nearly $30,000 was raised for our two charities through the efforts of community volunteers, Marine volunteers from Camp Lejeune, a full field of golfers and generous sponsors.
Local companies donated prizes for our raffle and participated in hole sponsorships.
Two businesses, in particular, stepped forward in a big a way: Coastal Enterprises was our presenting sponsor; and Marine Federal Credit Union was our platinum sponsor.
With the generous gifts of time and money by so many in our great community, we are able to take care of our wounded warriors and their families as well as continue our plans to build a museum!
Again, we thank you for your continued support as we march forward in a proud �Semper Fi� cadence in support of our beloved Marine Corps.
Chuck Collins

May 30, 2016
Meridian police are investigating the first shooting death of 2013.
It occurred around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday on Grand Avenue.
The victim, 37-year-old TeRandy Hampton, was pronounced dead at the scene. He had been shot in the head.
Police had responded to a report of shots being fired near the intersection with St. John Street.
Officials say they are examining evidence gathered at the scene and interviewing witnesses as well as persons of interest who were picked up shortly afterwards.
Lenita Buie, an employee at McDonald and Hill, which is just down the street from where the shooting occurred, says she was going about her
business until she noticed a heavy police presence in the area.
"We started seeing police cars go by and a few minutes later, a police lady came up to us and asked if we had heard anything, if we saw anybody running, or if we had heard any loud noises like a truck back-firing or anything. And we told her we didn't hear anything," said Buie.
If anyone has information about the shooting or a suspect or suspects, please call Crimestoppers at 601-485-1860.

Uncertain future
Human Trafficking | The FBI just freed 105 teens from a life of forced prostitution, but are they really free?
One of the women rescued from her pimp by a sex trafficking sting operation late last month had a hard time believing she was safe. When she arrived at a house set up for victims to rest and begin to recover, she checked the closet in her room to make sure no one would jump out and hurt her. Like most of the women and girls rescued that night, she was scared, said Tatyana Foltz, case manager for the San Francisco human trafficking aid group Freedom House.
Foltz worked with San Mateo, Calif., police during Operation Cross Country, a nationwide FBI-led sting against child sex traffickers executed during the last weekend in July.
Foltz and her coworkers met women with gift baskets, bottled water, and warm cardigans, the best way to show them immediate compassion. Similar scenes played out in 76 other cities, where local police and the FBI arrested 150 alleged pimps and rescued 105 teenaged girls.
But the definition of "rescued" only starts with liberating victims from their abusers. Although sting operations, arrests, and prosecutions may be increasing nationwide, the trafficking victims face a long journey to true freedom.
The pimps themselves often end up on the streets again. In past executions of Operation Cross Country, police have taken more alleged pimps than abused girls. This year was no different. Lois Lee, founder of Children of the Night, said law enforcement officers she meets "joke about how there are more pimps than victims."
But cumulatively, the FBI claims it has rescued 2,700 girls and earned 1,300 pimp convictions during the last 10 years. The disconnect isn't a coincidence. Prosecution is hard, the FBI told me, and law enforcement officials often need girls' testimonies to make their cases stick. Getting pimps off the streets remains a frustrating problem.
The FBI estimates 18,000 people are trafficked into the United States each year, not to mention the 300,000 children at risk of sex trafficking already inside the country. The average age for girls to enter the sex trade in the U.S. is just 12. But according to a Polaris Project survey, just 529 shelter beds existed for human trafficking victims in 2012.
The San Mateo operation turned up 10 adult prostitutes and one pimp, but no minors. Foltz and her friends provided counseling and information on the women's options. None decided to seek further help from Freedom House, which operates an 18-month home, called Monarch, for victims.
The San Mateo Police Department, which works with Freedom House, told me girls are treated as victims and not prosecuted. When it finds minors, the department works in the short term to give girls a place for the night and separate them from their predators. But long-term help isn't up to them.
Where do they end up? "It depends" was the most common answer. Government and social service agencies don't have a clearly defined path for trafficked girls. Juvenile hall may hold them to testify. They may need psychiatric care, or they may have medical conditions that require treatment. They may simply need a loving environment with people to bring them books instead of clients. But a girl's fate can also depend on local resources, whether a home or advocacy group for victims of sexual crimes exists.
And girls can slip through the cracks. After a 2008 sex trafficking bust in Charlotte, N.C., a local women's center placed two Latina girls in foster care. But before their special visas for abused children came through, the girls had disappeared. No one knows where they went, but many girls return to their pimps—their perverted providers. Pimps want girls fed, healthy, and looking pretty. They meet their material needs, even as they abuse them. Girls often think they're better off with someone they know rather than trying to make it on their own.
But "the vast majority of women want out," Foltz insisted. Even though the women rescued last month didn't know whether they would be charged with prostitution, Foltz said many expressed concern about the safety of others still under their pimps' control. And organizations like Freedom House and Children of the Night are giving them a chance at freedom.
Starting in October, the San Mateo Police Department will be able to house children through Freedom House at the Nest, a Santa Clara County home for girls aged 12 to 17. In addition to education and physical needs, Freedom House gives victims access to true freedom. The "kingdom-minded" organization cooks dinner together once a week, with an optional Bible study afterward.
Faith can be a lifeline even in the darkest places. Even as one of last month's victims hunted in closets for her abusers, another showed what perhaps was God-given strength, Foltz said: "She quoted the Bible and said she was convicted to become a leader for youth and young adults who were 'coming out of the game.'"

First of all, I couldn't decide the right words for title after reading How old is "too old"? question. I still can't decide with old, middle-aged, expert or professional.
As you know, there are a lot of developers over 35-40 years old in StackExchange. They are helping to beginners and having less experience people. They are so valuable users. And mostly, their some answers are awesome becauase of good analyzing and adding their experience to answers.
When I see this kind of users, they all started programming with kind of Lisp, Pascal, Cobol or Basic type programming language. These are the first modern programming languages. And I think these people are so lucky learning programming with them first because of they are close to machine language. Maybe they learn the basics of programming better. Now it looks they are working easly with object orianted programming.
I'm graduated from computer engineering a year ago . First year, we superficial learned C programming language. Second year, there are C# and Java course. But when I try to learn this languages in colluage, I always feel like I missed something. Learning languages, structures, libraries.. if fine but teachers never teach us "How the codes working in machine?". They teach us the programming language which is popular in software market. So kind of they prepare us for companies. They think If we learn assembly or fortran, we can't easly find a job according to Java or C#. Unfortunately, at these days, this is kind of true.
Could be better learning first Assembly, Fortran, Cobol instead of Java and C#? Are we unlucky?

1999 Service Optimas Award Profile The Valspar Corporation
HR has created 12 job families that embrace the company's 3,830 different jobs. By focusing on core behaviors that cut across jobs, HR created aptitude tests, interview guides, and performance appraisal forms for its 12 job families.
It began when Valspar's Chairman Angus Wurtele delivered a speech to employees a few years ago. He noticed people talking at the back of the room. Upon further inquiry, he discovered that the Spanish-speaking workers required a translator. He thought, "If they can't understand memos or read signs, how could they function effectively in their jobs?" The incident launched a discussion by management about how to improve the competencies and skills of its 3,833-person global workforce. Valspar, which reaped $1 billion in revenues last year, has faced the broader issue facing companies all across the world: A knowledge-based economy increasingly requires workers who demonstrate basic literacy, occupational skills—and winning personal traits.
Valspar's HR thus began addressing this corporate imperative in 1993. By establishing a strong partnership between HR and company managers and employees, managers now are better equipped in the areas of employee selection, performance management and professional development. This wasn't an easy endeavor considering that Valspar's employees (from manufacturing workers to chemists) serve four distinct business groups: consumer, packaging, industrial and special products. Today, managers can refer to printed binders that walk them through every stage of worker competency development for every job in the company. And, yes, each one comes in a different color to boot.
The first collaboration began with Gardner and psychologist Tim Follick, president of Consulting Psychologists Inc. (CPI), a Minneapolis-based organization of industrial and organizational psychologists. The latter had already worked with Valspar for 16 years. Between Gardner's business and functional knowledge, and Follick's expertise in articulating the skills and attitudes that drive effective performance, the two men created a manager's game plan. It's for that achievement Valspar has been given the Workforce Magazine Optimas Award for Service.
Aptitude tests improve the selection procedure.
Gardner and Follick were concerned that many companies, including Valspar, failed to state job goals succinctly, offer feedback on accomplishments and evaluate employees based on the hiring and job goals. That's why they initially focused on the manufacturing and production division: Turnover was high, and the quality of worker was disparagingly low. New hires were still costly, time-consuming—and a risk. Therefore, the two men decided to use aptitude tests as a way to begin measuring the desired competencies and skills. They consulted with successful managers and employees to create a list of desirable traits.
The aptitude tests, managers acknowledged, were helpful not only in screening, but also in placing workers. For example, if a manager learned from the test that an employee performed well with numbers, he or she could be placed in the warehouse where orders were fulfilled.
Once the manufacturing managers saw the benefit of these tests, word got around to the other departments. Within time, the entire company began to take notice. "Once we had those two successes [in manufacturing and sales], the organization went nuts," says Gardner. To meet the increasing demands for similar service, he and Follick reexamined all of the job descriptions and clustered them into 12 job families, such as industrial sales, manager, chemist, technical service, administrative support and hourly production worker. "That was a breakthrough," he says. HR could now take all 3,830 jobs and classify them into one job family or two.
Aptitude tests were just the beginning. Once applicants were given the tests, how were managers to conduct their follow-up interviews? Gardner and Follick took the next logical step. They created pre-employment interview guides for all 12 job families.
Competencies can be concretely measured.
Valspar, Gardner explains, is one of the largest coatings manufacturers in the world. As such, dedication to quality is one of its key corporate principles. Meeting customer requirements requires improved production efficiency and trained personnel. If a manager needs to hire an engineer, for example, he or she needs to align the interview questions with the competencies formulated within that job category.
So, in 1994, Gardner and Follick again approached managers and professionals as internal consultants. They asked about each job's requirements. To illustrate: An engineer is accountable for such functions as working safely, maintaining documents, technical skills, managing projects and participating as an effective member of a team. The competencies to do that include strong interpersonal skills, good communication, good judgment, planning and execution skills—and more.
Therefore, the pre-employment interview guides took competencies such as "interpersonal skills" and further broke them down into skill-building strategies. Follick's expertise kicked in at this point. As a psychologist, he was able to articulate the concrete values. Managers could assess a candidate or employee's interpersonal skills by asking questions such as, "Have you ever had to work with a difficult person?"
At this point, Valspar executives and managers were beginning to "ooh and aah" over the aptitude tests and interview guides. "The beauty of the program, from a manager's perspective, is the simplicity of the tool set. The guides are easy to follow for both the manager and employee," says Mike Nageleisen, general manager of operations in Toronto.
As Gardner and Follick accepted praise, neither realized more was to follow. One day, while strolling through the Pittsburgh plant, Gardner noticed one of the technical directors preparing for a performance review. He saw the interview guide lying on the director's desk. When asked what he was using it for, the director replied it also was useful in measuring his employee's performance. Gardner suddenly saw the light. "It was one of those serendipitous events," he explains. "How could I have been so stupid? Here, we've been spending all this time defining pre-employment competencies, conducting aptitude tests and using interview guides. Didn't it make sense to now link them to performance reviews?" So by 1995, Valspar had 12 job families, 12 aptitude tests, 12 interview guides and 12 different performance appraisal forms. Once these tools were embraced, it was inevitable that Gardner and Follick would reach the highest stage of evolution: The Development Guides.
Development Guides arm managers with a roadmap.
Once the tests, interview guides and appraisal forms were put in place, Gardner and Follick didn't rest on their laurels. They continued to interact with Valspar managers. "They had a renewed confidence in identifying an employee's problem," Gardner says. Before, a manager might complain that Harry's numbers were bad. In other words, he wasn't drumming up new clients. With the tests and performance appraisals, the same manager could now identify that Harry basically had poor organizational and planning skills.
Clearly, what was now missing was a plan of action—a roadmap for Harry's manager. These roadmaps are what Gardner describes as the highest evolution of HR's worker competency tools. But where would he find the curriculum to assist the managers? Again, serendipity intervened.
Gardner recalls one of his visits to a company that specialized in training. While sitting in the lobby, he eyed a small brochure entitled, "Tips on Improving Job Performance." The three-page brochure, he says, begat Valspar's Development Guides in late 1995. So if an employee was identified as having poor interpersonal relationships, the guides would break that problem down even further by identifying these four areas: relationship building, teamwork, ability to resolve conflict and sensitivity. Having narrowed down the behaviors, managers can then follow a five-page list of suggested activities that would improve the employee's aptitude in this area. For example, a manager who wants to develop a chemist's ability to influence can identify no less than 20 different on-the-job activities, such as:
- Understand buyer's psychology.
- Recognize buying signals.
- Be flexible.
"We learn on the job by doing," says Gardner, noting that the tools were all produced within HR's general budget. The results? In addition to the company's record profits, he observes "more development occurring in the firm. The technical organization is using the process the most. They like the fact that it clearly lays out performance expectations and gives them the tools they need to evaluate performance and create development plans."
In terms of training, Gardner says one-time training didn't work. When HR first rolled out the tools, the process didn't stick. Human resources needed to reinforce the knowledge to make it understood. "A combination of training, follow-up and boss support in using the process is the most effective approach," he says.
The funny thing, he observes, is that Valspar's evolution of worker competency has gone full circle. What emerged as tools for managers to evaluate and develop workers is now being used for managers. "We need to work on them, too."
Workforce, March 1999, Vol. 78, No. 3, pp. 72-75.

I've been digging around on the 'net, which prompts another question:To kick-start a non-UCE bike you use the kicker to bring the piston up to the compression stroke, use the compression release to go past TDC while watching the ammeter to go to zero, bring the kicker up to the top, switch on, then thrust the engine through.I notice that the G5 no longer has an ammeter, but instead has a combination instrument with warning lights.I also have read that there is an automatic compression release on the UCE's that is engaged whenever the engine is turning >600 RPM. I gather this is to aid in the new electric start - preventing the kick-backs that fragged the sprags on the old motors.Does this automatic compression release also come into play when using the kick starter, or does it only work when the ES is engaged?If the auto compression release works all the during either type of starting, how do you "feel" the piston at TDC during kick starting?I searched, but can't find any kick-starting instructions regarding the UCE's yet.
The number of kicks required to start any motorcycle of British descent is proportional to the square of the number of the people present.ie:if you are by yourself1x1 = 1 kickif your buddy is with you2x2 = 4 kicksif you are outside a bar and 20 people are watching20x20 = call your buddy to bring his pick-up or 911 for an ambulance

Granville Man Charged With Burglary
(Orange City) -- A Granville man has been arrested by the Sioux County Sheriff's office for burglary. John Nelson, 37 years old, was placed under arrest on Thursday evening for burglary for the third, a class D felony and theft in the fifth, a simple misdemeanor. The arrest stemmed from a burglary that occurred at 4667 Lily Avenue on the early morning of June 16. During the investigation it was found that a hay feeder and horse halters were allegedly stolen from a barn.
Le Mars School Superintendent Responds To "No Child Left Behind" Waiver Denial
(Le Mars) -- The Iowa Department of Education was denied a waiver of the law, No Child Left Behind. Le Mars Community School District Superintendent, Dr. Todd Wendt says the intent of the law was admirable in the fact that a goal was established to not allow any child fall behind in the comprehension of education. However, the problem arises when you take into consideration the schools across the country have different levels of standards and are not equal in the assessment.
Listen here
The Le Mars school official says the Iowa plan was set up on a three-year plan. If a school was able to maintain the same level of proficiency for three-years, then that school would be considered proficient. He says the there were still some problems with the system.

Wendt says Le Mars will have some classes, mainly some elementary grades, that will appear as being in the "watch list."

Missouri Man Guilty of Steel Pipe Scheme
DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) - A Missouri man convicted of running a multi-state scheme to defraud steel pipe manufacturers in Iowa and elsewhere has been sentenced to 21 months in prison.
U.S. District Judge John Jarvey handed the sentence Friday to 42-year-old Bobby Gene Prince, of Pevely, Mo., who pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud.
Prosecutors say Prince falsely told a Texas construction firm in 2009 that he owned a steel pipe manufacturing company but was getting out of the business and offered to sell $200,000 worth of
steel pipe for $75,000.
Prince falsely posed as an industry broker, and convinced steel pipe manufacturers in Iowa and Nevada to ship pipe on credit to the Texas firm. The shipments soon arrived in Texas, where the company alerted the FBI after suspecting a swindle.
Headstones Toppled
MILLERSBURG, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say two boys are suspected of damaging dozens of headstones at a cemetery in eastern Iowa.
The Iowa County sheriff's office on Friday says authorities identified two juveniles responsible for the damage. No other details, including the boys' names, were released.
Three dozen headstones at Millersburg Cemetery were knocked over or moved. The vandalism was discovered last Sunday.

Challenges abound. We all encounter challenges—to make grades, to care for our children, to put food on the table. Challenge is one of those elemental components that define life itself.
For researchers, though, challenges are to be embraced, not merely surmounted. Identify a problem, devise a hypothetical solution, test, refine—this is the scientific method; this is the essence of research.
It comes as little surprise, then, that when TechVista, Microsoft Research India's annual research symposium, was held in New Delhi on Oct. 13, the recurrent theme, the lingua franca that resonated through the varied presentations, was challenge. No self-congratulations here; the most important hurdles, it was made clear, are those to come, not those already cleared.
A TechVista audience of students, faculty members, and influentials from government and industry gazed upon a stage in the Royal Ballroom of the InterContinental Eros flanked by a pair of message boards that read simply: Inspire. Innovate. Invent. Between these twin triads of mantra-like imperatives strode a succession of luminaries to share a kaleidoscope of perspectives on the benefits to be derived from confronting computer science's looming challenges.
"Research," P. Anandan, managing director of Microsoft Research India, told the assemblage by way of introduction, "is a pleasure. Researchers are, by nature, people who are open, creative, and not bound by too many rules. And when you're not bound by rules, you are looking to have fun."
TechVista attendees enjoyed their share. They got a glimpse of the computational future, both long-term and on the immediate horizon. They got a grounding in the theoretical nature of the intriguing challenges the field provides. And they heard the hopes that Microsoft has for the potential of technology, and the dreams that could be actuated—for India and for the world beyond.
In a talk entitled 10 Years into the Future, Rick Rashid, senior vice president of Microsoft Research, sketched some of the breakthroughs within the grasp of researchers tackling today's challenges.
He cited the likelihood of a 2017 in which input/output technology would be ubiquitous, on virtually any surface available to us. He offered software engineers the prospect of provable systems to ensure that their technology will work as intended. He suggested the enormous implications of a world in which nearly unlimited storage would provide information access to a lifetime of experiences, in which breakthrough imagery could supply heretofore-unimaginable views of the environment around us, in which streaming intelligence could enable us to anticipate the unexpected.
"Predicting is hard," Rashid said. "Technology does not move in a straight line. The things I spoke to are things that are in the laboratory. You will be able to do them. What I can't say is what society will do with them. There are always new approaches that take you by surprise. The key thing is that it's hard to be able to predict what people will do with technology, what cultures do with technology."
Craig Mundie, Microsoft chief research and strategy officer, and Tony Hey, Microsoft corporate vice president of External Research, provided a look at the challenges the computing industry and the scientific community face as they enter critical evolutionary junctures.
With physical limitations to multiprocessor production ushering in an era of multicore chips, the days of sequential programming, Mundie said, are giving way to the necessity for parallel computing.
"We've talked about this at the research level," he noted, "as almost a holy grail for many years." To attain that goal, he added, the computing industry must overcome the dual challenges of concurrency and complexity.
"Our business, our engineering, in my mind, has not yet achieved the same level of formalism in composition that allows us to build giant buildings or build big bridges," Mundie said. "Other engineering disciplines have been forced to create a more rigorous, controlled composition system in order to deal with scale and complexity. The reality is that, in software, there's still too much art and too little engineering."
Society depends upon further advances in computing, he observed, offering the hope that better use of computers' currently underutilized capabilities could enable the next stage of computational advances.
"I want to challenge you to think more broadly about how … we can create a world of next-generation applications, a world of fully productive computation," Mundie concluded. "It's the ability to bring these things together and to think at a higher conceptual level, using more sophisticated tools and formal levels of composing reliable software systems, that I think is the opportunity for all us in the years ahead."
Tracing the history of scientific methodology from the experimental to the theoretical to the computational, Hey said today's scientist is working in a Web-based, data-centric realm, one he terms eResearch.
"In the last five or six years," he said, "I think we're seeing the nature of science being transformed."
Hey cited a number of attributes he foresees for eResearch:
"What is really interesting," Hey said, "is trying to use the technology from industry—from Microsoft and others—to help scientists solve their problems."
TechVista also featured a number of fascinating presentations of futuristic work being performed today by researchers based both in India and abroad.
"What are the challenges?" he asked. "The first, natural question is: How do we scale it? The second challenge is how to make the output useful for naïve users. The third is how to ensure availability.
"This is where research comes in."
The aAqua ecosystem uses an e-library of advice, including sections termed Crop Doctor and Crop Recommendations, to deliver information to farmers' cellphones, utilizing multilingual machine translation. The project faces plenty of challenges—but also offers much promise.
"ICT for social economic development," Ramamritham asserted, "has come of age."
Using what he jocularly referred to as "X-ray vision," he described the creation of surgical visualizations to enable computer-assisted surgery, in which exacting analysis and color coding of various brain structures can enable doctors to make precise maneuvers during delicate operations.
"This is bringing together a sequence of tools," Grimson explained, "a sequence of machine-vision tools, a sequence of machine-learning tools, a sequence of graphics tools, to let surgeons build patient-specific models that they can use for surgical guidance and navigation, and letting clinicians build patient-specific models that actually see how structures change as a function of disease, in response to pharmaceuticals, or as a function of genetic effects, in order to let computational tools change the face of medicine."
"Computer animation has a bunch of very creative challenges," he said. "What you want to do is create totally believable clothing."
Those challenges include creating ordinary garments on ordinary, human-like characters, good enough for viewers to suspend their disbelief while also being fast and robust enough to be practical for film.
The measure of Kass' success in doing so can be measured by box-office receipts. His list of credits includes such silver-screen smashes as A Bug's Life;Toy Story 2;Monsters, Inc.;Finding Nemo; and The Incredibles.
Veloso's project featured autonomous robots using perception and cognition to produce action. Her initial video showed round, wheeled, sensor-equipped robots interpreting multisensory information to achieve centralized, distributed learning resulting in actual robotic teamwork.
A second video had Sony AIBO dog robots communicating collaboratively to share information not available to all robots, such as telling a teammate where a ball is even when it is blocked from the teammate's view.
The research challenge, Veloso explained, is how to combine a local view with communicated information to create a coherent world model.
"My work," she said, "is trying to bring robots to life."
The approximately 650 persons attending TechVista also accorded warm responses to a pair of non-researchers, Kapil Sibal, union minister for Science & Technology and Earth Sciences for the Indian government, and Arun Shourie, member of the Indian parliament and former minister of Disinvestment, Communications and Information Technology.
In his keynote address, Sibal talked of the contributions computer-science research could bring to areas of concern in India, such as in agriculture, healthcare, energy, and the environment.
"It's mind-boggling," he stated, "what computer science can do."
Sibal challenged Microsoft Research India to provide help for a few ambitious projects: bringing 3-D computer representations of Delhi's monuments and cultural sites to students across the nation, producing a virtual science museum accessible to Web users, establishing a sensor network to monitor water usage in India.
"Research by itself is not a solution," he observed. "You need to move beyond research. Behind research is the face of an ordinary man living an ordinary life dealing with ordinary problems."
Shourie, a crusading journalist who gave TechVista's closing address, expressed his appreciation to organizations such as Microsoft Research India for helping to bolster Indian business, expertise, and creativity.
"You are the new India," he said. "It is because of persons like you that the world's perception has changed, and therefore India's perception of itself has changed."
Srini Koppolu, Microsoft corporate vice president and managing director of the India Development Center, underscored the company's commitment to the nation.
"India is very unique for us at Microsoft," Koppolu said. "This is where we have the presence of all the business of Microsoft in one particular country. We have research here, we have product development, we have sales and marketing. We have the Microsoft IT group here, we have technical support, and, of course, entertainment and devices. The whole spectrum of Microsoft is present."
As for Microsoft Research, Rashid said the mission of its India lab remains unchanged: to continue to collaborate with government, industry, and academia in an effort to extend the state of the art in computer science.
"Why do you make investments in basic research?" he asked. "One of the things we believe in is that fundamental research can change the world."
For the scientific community, in India and beyond, that, Sibal observed, makes a big difference.
"If you go into the discipline of science," he said, "research is at the heart of everything."

Not only will this year's Capitol Christmas tree come from the White River National Forest and feature decorations made by Rifle preschoolers and kindergartners, a local business will play a role, too.
Brook Loving, owner of Summit Sun Screen Printing, screenprinted the Capitol Christmas tree logo onto 78 tree skirts this week. The skirts were made by Girl Scouts from across Colorado, he said.
"I was honored to be involved," Loving said.
It took him about three or four minutes per skirt to screen print the 10-inch by 12-inch multi-colored logo, he added.
Forest officials contacted Loving about three months ago and asked if he would be interested in participating in the project, he said.
"I donated more than half the cost," Loving added. "It was more an honor to be asked than anything else."
Loving said his company name will also be listed on the Capitol Christmas Tree website and Facebook page.
The tree skirts were packaged for the trip to Washington, D.C., on Wednesday and will be distributed to federal officials and departments as part of the Capitol Christmas Tree program, Loving said.
Recently, Emmanuel Lutheran Preschool and Kindergarten students, as well as some in Garfield School District Re-2, made wooden decorations to be hung on the tree.
The 73-foot Engelmann spruce will be harvested in early November from a secret site near Meeker.
The tree will be transported to the nation's capital on a specially decorated Mack Pinnacle model truck, driven by former U.S. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell of Colorado.
The truck will haul the tree more than 3,000 miles over 23 days, stopping in various Colorado communities andother states on its way to our nation's capital in late November.

MOUNDSVILLE - Racking up 513 yards of total offense and turing back-to-back goal line stands in the first half while the game was still close, Bishop Donahue rolled past cross-river rival St. John Central 47-0 Saturday night at Monarch Stadium.
Two Bishops, Saquan Hill and Lavonte Hampton, eclipsed the 100-yard mark while a Jordan Bonar circus catch was turned into a 62-yard touchdown, giving him 128 yards on just three catches.
Hampton, taking direct snaps in Bishop Donahue's version of the ''Wildcat,'' had 121 yards and two touchdowns on just six carries. Hill opened the scoring with a 36-yard run and he also added a 10-yard TD reception from maturing sophomore quarterbck Jesse Padlow, another Bishop standout in the runaway victory. Overall, Hill's night included 118 rushing yards for his 10 attempts.

Padlow completed 6 of 9 passes for 156 yards and two touchdowns. He was picked off one time but that was his first interception in four games for the Bishops (3-1).
Despite the huge margin of victory, Bishop Donahue coach John Durdines provided high praise for the Irish (2-2).
''We've seen all three of their (previous) games and they have improved all the way across the board. We knew we had to come out focused and our kids also had a little chip on their shoulders. We wanted to make a statement that we were pretty good, too," Durdines said.
A huge mental mistake by the St. John special teams actually helped open the flood gates late in the first quarter when Bishop Donahue needed just seven seconds to put 14 points on the board.
After Bishop Donahue had taken a 6-0 lead on Hill's 36-yard TD scamper at the 2:14 mark of the opening period, the Irish failed to get on the football when a low bouncing kickoff toward the right sideline somehow stayed in bounds and stopped dead at the St. John 4.
Kris Wood alertly made the recovery for the Bishops at that point and one-play later, Bonar picked up the final 4 yards straight up the middle. Bonar then added the two-point conversion run for a 14-0 advantage with 2:07 showing on the clock.
Devon Hennesy's 41-yard kickoff return along with a personal foul penalty against the Bishops put St. John's in business at the hosts 26. The Irish reached the 3 but C.J Huff broke through to spill D.J. Shoemaker for a loss of seven back to the 10 on fourth down ending the drive.
Alex Francis's interception gave St. John's the ball back at the Donahue 32 and he caught a 22-yard sideline toss from Shoemaker at the 5. Again, however, the Bishops defense stiffened and Shoemaker was stopped in his tracks for 2-yard loss during another fourth-down rushing attempt.
The game was basically over from that point. Padlow, facing fourth and goal at the Irish 10, found Hill to complete a well-executed slant for the touchdown.Hampton tacked on the two-point conversion extending the lead to 22-0 with 40 seconds left in the half.
The Bishops scored three times in the third quarter, beginning with the 62-yard strike to Bonar after he snatched the ball away from an Irish defender at the 40, turned around and had nothing but green grass in front of him all the way to the end zone.
''Jordan has incredibly strong hands. When the ball was in the air he said it was to be his," Durdines said. ''From there he just basically secured it and took off."
Hampton's touchdown scampers of 16 and 26 yards extended the lead to 40-0 and was followed by a sparkling 51-yard carry for the Bishops final touchdown early in the fourth quarter.
''We put in a few wrinkles tonight with Hampton taking some direct snaps. We didn't think we would be able to line up and pound the ball against them, so we mixed it up a lot," Durdines added.
While Bishops rushed for 357 yards and added 156 through the air, St. John's was limited to 75 yards of total offense, 36 yards on 33 rushing attempts and 39 passing.

A robust and roadworthy speaker design in a revolutionary combo amp.
With Hartke's Hydrive Series 115C 250 Watt 1x15" Bass Combo Amp, you get the best of both worlds: the warm tone of traditional paper cones and the clear, punchy attack of aluminum. HyDrive's patented Hybrid Cone Technology produces a speaker that uses an outside paper cone to push a warm, deep low frequency and an inner aluminum cone that produces mids and highs that cut, yet still remain sweet.
One of the most important advances with the HyDrive speaker is its power-to-weight ratio. A HyDrive speaker weighs 40% less than traditional speakers and delivers 250 watts for the highest power-to-weight ratio of any bass speaker available. But the innovation runs even deeper. Because of its cast aluminum frame and neodymium magnets, HyDrive speakers operate cooler and deliver more reliable power handling at peak performance.
As the HyDrive engineers were developing a series of combos, their intentions were to produce a powerful, versatile bass combo that could handle the task of playing in any genre of music. After years of development and assistance from professional performers like Stu Hamm, the result is a groundbreaking bass combo that provides players of all levels with power, tone and all the features necessary to shape a custom sound for any style of playing.
With 1 x 15-inch, 300-watt HyDrive neodymium hybrid cone driver, the HyDrive 115c offers 250 watts of clean linear power. A massive toroidial transformer and internal protection circuitry help protect the amplifier and speaker, allowing the 115c the ability to handle virtually any passive or active bass with plenty of power to ensure your live performance is heard amidst the rest of your band.
On-board Hartke Shape Control and Bass Attack Overdrive allow you to sculpt your sound with unparalleled control. The ability to shape highs and mids or work in distortion also offers a range of options to ensure your HyDrive combo is perfect for any style of bass playing. The addition of a 7-band EQ and bass and treble shelving result in the most versatile combo available.
The test of time and heavy gigging were also two considerations when developing these combos. Understanding the importance of a roadworthy amp, the HyDrive combo cabinets are made of the highest quality plywood and utilize the same bracing and dado joinery found on the large HyDrive cabinets. The 115c also employs vinyl covering, a steel grill and steel corners for added protection when transporting your amp. Featuring the original Kickback™ design, the HyDrive 115c also allows for better projection of your sound while on stage. The resulting aesthetics of this combo fuse classic and contemporary styles for an original look that's both novel and elegant.
