Tallahassee, FL - An informational site tour of the new Public Safety Complex in Tallahassee was given to city and county officials today. Leon County Commissioner, Kristin Dozier says "the joint dispatch building is state of the art, unlike anything in the southeast, a facility where we can coordinate EMS, fire, traffic control, and our emergency services."
Although the concept for the complex started years ago, the project actually became a reality in October 2011 and should be finished this spring. Construction Program Manager, Carl Morgan says "96 percent of the value, contract value of this construction went back into the local community. We've tried diligently from day one in the design process and in the construction to ensure involvement of local contractors, local trades and local people."
The public safety complex was built to the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) 3-61 standards for tornado shelter requirements. Morgan states "all the windows in the complex are designed to resist the impact of a 15 foot 2 by 4 traveling 100 miles an hour without penetrating the window, again to protect the individuals inside the building."
Having all of the emergency services working together under one roof will allow for faster response times and will improve safety for the community. It is also conveniently located next to the Red Cross. Dozier says "not just in the event of disasters and storms and things like that but on a day to day basis when our fire trucks are trying to reach the burning homes, EMS is trying to get to someone in need, this is going to help improve those services."
The new Public Safety Complex is located at 911 Easterwood Drive. The goal is to have the complex completed in the next 2 to 3 months and have the building occupied between June and August of 2013.

Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - Damian Lillard poured in 24 points and keyed
a furious Portland comeback that lifted the Trail Blazers to a 118-112
overtime win over the slumping Charlotte Bobcats at Time Warner Cable Arena.
Fourteen of Lillard's scoring total came during the fourth quarter or
overtime, and the talented rookie netted eight points as part of a 23-5 run
that enabled the Blazers to overcome an 18-point deficit with five minutes
left in regulation and force extra time. The young guard added nine assists in
the improbable rally.
LaMarcus Aldridge racked up 25 points and 13 rebounds and Nicolas Batum
finished with 17 points and 13 boards for Portland, which also received 19
points from Wesley Matthews in its second straight victory after opening its
current road trip with four losses.
The Bobcats have now dropped four in a row following a surprising 7-5 start to
the season, and failed to hold on to their seemingly comfortable late lead
despite 29 points from Ben Gordon and a 22-point, 7-assist effort out of Kemba

I was truly impressed with the selection available, however, there are others I would like to see there. The delivery was very good. The shipment arrived in the time they estimated. My experience with Internet purchases has been the estimated date plus 2 weeks.

Comments about Eau De Guerlain Cologne:
Eau de Guerlain cologne is a classic scent that is good any time of day. Since it is a bright, fresh / floral scent it is probably more conducive to warmer weather, but I find it so pleasant that I wear it year-round. The only 'issue' I have with it is that it really won't last all day. You may need a refresher some time in the afternoon if you want to sport the scent that evening. Typically, though, I just put some on in the morning and forget about it unless I have something planned for the night.
All in all this is a fantastic scent that you can't go wrong with. It's not overpowering like so many scents these days are. It's light, airy, and pleasant. It really is a great cologne. I recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Comments about Eau De Guerlain Cologne:
This scent works well for me in our hot humid (US)Southern summers as a casual daytime spritz; it is not especially long-lasting and fades pleasantly away by afternoon. In the same tone and purpose, I also use 4711. Original unisex fragrances!

This is the perk-up I love for these almost-constant NorthWest (USA) grey mornings. And I expect it will be just as welcome on rare sunshiny nornings. My friend with whom I go walking in the woods in the morning says I smell wonderful.Quick bright burst of lime initially, fading to a softer whisper.

|Public health is public wealth
|Written by Deanna Herbert
The first week in April is National Public Health Week and this year's theme is Building the Foundation for a Healthy America.
While the national theme is really geared more towards building on the foundation of public health successes over the years, such as the elimination of polio and dramatic reductions in the number of people who smoke, your local staff here at the Northeast Colorado Health Department is taking that theme to a more personal level.
We've taken a look at our own "foundations," some of which are a bit… eh hem… sturdier than others, and 30 of us are embarking on a challenge to see who can become the biggest loser. Of pounds.
Now I'm not saying that losing weight will solve all of our nations' collective ills. Although we live in a country where more than two-thirds of our adults are overweight or obese, we also live in a country where a baby born here is more likely to die before its first birthday than a child born in almost any other developed country; where the life expectancy has reached a record high of 78.1 years, but sill ranks 46th behind Japan and most of Europe, as well as countries such as South Korea and Jordan.
We spend more on health care than any other nation, but it is clear we are not living up to our potential. We obviously are facing more public health problems than simple dieting can fix, but healthy communities begin and are achieved with individual healthy lifestyles, and a healthy diet is a great place to start.
For 14 weeks we will have six separate teams from our Sterling, Fort Morgan and Yuma offices working together to motivate one of us into becoming the biggest loser. At two weeks in, we've lost a total of 75.89 pounds as an agency—not bad. Just keep in mind that 30 people on a diet for 98 days might make our customer service a bit rough around the edges, so please take that into consideration.
You know, there's just something about the camaraderie of working together toward a common goal, fighting to be healthy in this dog-eat-dog world (ooh, did somebody say eat?), the chorus of cheers as we celebrate an ounce lost, or the collective sympathy we offer when the scale tips the other direction…
Whatever. I'm here to win. Send your full-sugar, full-fat baked goods to our Fort Morgan office, 228 W. Railroad Ave. Fort Morgan, CO 80701, attn: Mel or Josie.
It's not that I'm actively advocating sabotage of my fellow employees; it's more of a highly intelligent form of strategic pseudo-psychology in which I'm trying to actually assist them as they gain more control over their willpower. Mmmmm hmmmm.

Very nice design - I hope you don't mind a couple of suggestions:
Try the map with the saturation of the colours toned down to about half what they are now.
You could make the castle walls more interesting, by putting in slit windows, buttresses and columns etc.
There is useful reference material on the site
here: reference material
here: stunning castle plans - all done in Microsoft paint!!
It's worth having a root around the reference material bit of the site, there's quite a bit on castles there.

What NOT to Eat on St. Patricks Day
A traditional St. Patrick's Day breakfast of corned beef and cabbage with potatoes and soda bread is a fairly balanced meal, if a little high in carbs and soda bread. It's also a much healthier choice than a lot of the other St. Patrick's Day foods and dishes currently on the menu at a number of chain restaurants. These foods may be green, but they are not exactly good for you! So, if you plan to splurge today, go ahead and enjoy the real Irish deal, not these unhealthy options!
Mint Oreo Creme Donut from Dunkin' Donuts: This dessert disguised as breakfast is sort of like Ben and Jerry's Mint Cookie Ice Cream, only in donut form. The bakers at this largely Eastern and Central chain start with a yeast donut, cover it with mint frosting and bit of Oreo cookies, and top it off with a heaping helping of frosting in the center. The thing weighs in at 400 calories, 22 grams of fat, and 9 grams of saturated fat–or about 45% of your recommended daily allowance.

Tulane University School of Medicine is looking for volunteers to take part in the first definitive, large-scale clinical trial to investigate if a vitamin D supplement helps prevent or delay Type 2 diabetes in adults with prediabetes.
Tulane is one of 20 sites across the country to take part in the National Institutes of Health-funded study, which is recruiting about 2,500 participants, said local study leader Dr. Vivian Fonseca, Tullis-Tulane Alumni Chair in Diabetes.
The Vitamin D and Type 2 Diabetes (D2d) study will investigate whether vitamin D – specifically D3 (cholecalciferol) – will prevent or delay Type 2 diabetes in adults aged 30 or older with prediabetes. People with prediabetes have blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not high enough to be called diabetes.
D2d is the first study to directly examine if a daily dose of 4,000 International Units of vitamin D helps prevent the onset of Type 2 Ddiabetes. Researchers speculate that vitamin D could reduce the diabetes risk by 25 percent. The study will also examine if gender, age or race affect the potential of vitamin D to reduce diabetes risk.
The study will be double-blinded and participants will receive either vitamin D or a placebo. The study will continue until enough people have developed Type 2 diabetes to be able to make a scientifically valid comparison between diabetes development in the two groups, likely about four years.
To learn more about participating in the study, call 504-988-0200 or visit www.D2dstudy.org.
D2d (ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT01942694) is supported under NIH grant U01DK098245. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases is the primary sponsor of the trial, with additional support from the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements and the American Diabetes Association. Support in the form of educational materials is provided by the National Diabetes Education Program.

or is she just a good looking girl in a man's sport? They were talking about it today on 103.3 morning program. I would have to go with she is semi hot. However if she was in a room full of sports illustrated swimsuit models she would be a short troll.
I guess the same questions could be ask about Erin Andrews.
Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.
I have a GINORMOUS crush on Danica!!!!
2009 Insight Bowl Champions!
I think that Danica is very, very, very hot.

I don't think she is anything special. We had this discussion at the SB party I was at. If you saw her at Parks Library I think most guys would take a nice glance and walk away...I'd bet there's a girl at Parks Library as we speak way hotter than Danica. It's not that I don't think she is attractive because I do...it's just I see hotter chicks on a daily basis than her. I don't see chicks hotter than Erin Andrews on a daily basis.

At a boy!!!
Not so much a girl in a mans sport cute
Occam's Razor means 'With all things being equal , the simplest explanation/answer is normally the right one'
Oh, she's hot alright.
"Just remember, what you choose to do with each day is very important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it" -ET

She's cute-ish, hot seems like a stretch.
I can't believe you're asking this question. Of course she is.

She's hot
If you don't think the Maxim photos are hot, you are fail.

May perpetual light shine upon him.
She is good looking, but is missing some of the things I that require before I can call someone HOT.
One thing is for sure, she is a talented driver.
Nothing special. Her attitude is a HUGE turn-off. Terrible attitude.
No. She doesn't do it for me.
She's good looking. I reserve the title "hot" for Victoria Secret models.

The sunrise this morning likely made the ancient sandstone formation of Uluru glow a glorious red at dawn, although cloud and rain from today should lead to more demure morning displays for the next couple of days.

Holyoke City Council is planning to search for a new code enforcement officer to fill the vacancy left after Dawn Worley announced her resignation in July to accept another job. There just hasn't been a set time in which they plan to do so.
Councilman Scott Murray thought the council was planning to wait until next year as code enforcement duties tend to slow down during the winter months.
Police Chief Doug Bergstrom said one item that may come up in addition to junk violations is making sure fire hydrants are clear of snow.
That comment prompted Murray to say some of the hydrants need to be painted. Mayor Orville Tonsing suggested that would be a good job for the Boy Scouts to take on. "It is something to think about," Tonsing said.
Councilman David Churchwell said he doesn't see a reason to hire someone now if there won't be much for them to do.
Councilman Brian Akey said if they start searching now, realistically they probably won't hire anyone until December and that person wouldn't begin until January or February. If the council waits to begin searching, it could be when things pick back up that the newly hired person would be thrown into the situation.
The city is also looking into dog pound ideas and is waiting to receive planning ideas. "If we do get something on the dog pound, we're going to have to make a decision sooner than later," Akey said.
The new code enforcer would be working with stray dogs and utilize the new facility.
"We might as well get going now," Akey said in regard to hiring a new enforcement officer.
Councilman Kevin Scott questioned snow removal enforcement, and Akey said the previous officer issued notices regarding snow removal.
The meeting adjourned with no real decision being made. The subject will be placed on the Oct. 2 agenda.
CSU students to return to Mini Park
Linda Langelo attended last week's meeting to say she has been in contact with CSU, who is willing to send three or four more students to Holyoke to look into safety issues at Lions Club Mini Park.
In February, CSU engineering students came to Holyoke to look into ways to help save the park's brick wall that had severe cracking. Following their visit, Holyoke City Council decided to hire Hayward Baker Geotechnical Construction, who came and injected a substance under the concrete to help lift sagging parts and push the bottom of the wall up to close the cracking that had occurred.
This second visit will look into possible solutions for the awning/shelter aspect of the park.
The idea is to see what other ideas people have to see what can be done to make the park pop a little more to attract use for it.
Council members voted to pay mileage for the students who plan to visit the park Saturday, Oct. 20.
Reports of city officials
Council members heard reports from Superintendent Mark Brown and Police Chief Bergstrom at last week's meeting.
Brown noted city crews dealt with a water main break in the 200 block of S. Sherman Ave. Unfortunately, where the water appeared wasn't necessarily where the main was broken, and Brown said they ended up tearing up 50 feet of the street to find the break.
He also said they took advantage of the extremely dry conditions and managed to clear the creek bottom of overgrown debris near the sewer lagoons. He said it had been nearly 30 years since they had been able to get to the area and they were able to drive a pickup with a chipper down the center to help clean the area out this year.
Murray questioned Brown about the number of squirrels that have caused power outages around the city. In his report during each meeting, Brown regularly mentions power outages being caused by squirrels.
Murray wondered if there are any preventative measures that can be used on transformers to lower the number of outages caused by squirrels. Brown said there are and some of the solutions work while others may not. Murray said he would like to know how many transformers the city has and if it would be feasible to invest in preventative measures.
Murray also was curious to see how much money the city has spent on repairs due to squirrel-caused outages as well as overtime paid to city employees who respond to the calls when they are not at work.
Brown said anywhere from 50-75 percent of the calls come in during normal working hours. And for some reason, it is usually during the morning hours.
With regard to the street department. Murray said he received a call from some homeowners regarding unpaved streets. The blocks have gutters in place on both sides but all of the lots haven't been tapped yet. Brown said in the past, the council wouldn't pave a street until all the lots sold by the city were tapped.
Bergstrom said his department investigated multiple reports of slashed tires between the 200-700 blocks of S. Baxter Ave. a few weeks ago. He noted there were no leads as to who may have committed the crimes but they are continuing to look into the situation.
Other business
In other business Sept. 18, council members:
—voted 5-1 to amend the force and firearms policy in order to add electronic restraint devices to tools for the police department to use. Murray said he wasn't a full believer in tasers not causing harm to individuals and cast the lone dissenting vote. Steve Moore was absent from last week's meeting
—accepted the property/casualty renewal premium quote from CIRSA for 2013 in the amount of $48,655 after the equity credit has been applied and with a $2,500 deductible per incident.
—accepted the workers compensation renewal premium quote from CIRSA for 2013 at $54,109.
—accepted a bid from Lance Murray Construction to replace the walk-in door on the north side of the fire shed for a total of $535.50.
—approved a special event permit for Phillips County Pheasants Forever Nov. 10.
—approved travel request for officer Larry Drake to attend Advanced Criminal Patrol Tactics training in Denver Oct. 18.
—held a short work session following the meeting for junk issues.

Applying do-it-yourself rodent control boca raton hints in the very first hint of infestation is successful for controlling these damaging pests. A number of the rodent control approaches are sealing off entry points, appropriate food storage, home sterilization (both indoor and outside) and laying traps.
Mention a number of the annoyance causing family pests and you'll run into rodents within the list. They can be quite hard to cope with, once infested. Actually, there's scarcely anything within the household which are left unaffected by these mammalian pests.
Indications of Rodent Infestation
An exhaustive home inspection is really a must to complete measure for determining proper rodent control approaches. The most remarkable hint is the existence of fecal pellets, which vary based on species.
Hints on Rodent Control
The population of rodent could keep on growing, as long because there is sufficient reserve of food items. When they have a thriving place within the house, in Addition, the likelihood of rodent multiplication will also be raised. And So, the two of the most significant techniques for managing these bother pests are sanitizing the dwelling places and removing food supply.
Entry of rodents is quite foreseeable once they have restricted veggies or alternative food sources within the garden.
Shop Foods Properly
Rodents largely assault other stored vegetables and food grains. Basically, grains are the important food sources for all these pests. So, keep these foods in air-tight containers, in order that they're not obtainable for rodents. By depriving rodents in their meals, it is possible to starve them all to passing. Or else, they'll leave the area and keep an eye out for some other infesting areas.
Indoor Cleaning
Sterilization of the corners and rooms is one essential suggestion. Regularly wash your kitchen counter-top, underneath fridges and fuel burners. Store foods over the floor levels, if possible. Use a powerful cleansing solution for moping the kitchen flooring.
Outdoor Cleaning
Effective means to eliminate rodents comprise keeping the outside place clean, particularly the immediate borders of your house. Make sure to utilize tight covers, for those who have trash bins. Prune down dense shrubs and trees, particularly the low branches. At any stage, avoid mounting up vegetation or plant continues within the area of the home. Last but certainly not the very least, don't stack firewood within the floor or close to the home.
Fill the burrows with soil, should you encounter any supposed burrows within the garden and find out if they're re-opened again or not. Make certain that you simply assess the traps daily for existence of rodent. Use hand gloves before handling them, when it's there within the snare.
Rodent Control Products
Today, many gadgets can be found on the marketplace, which are especially configured for controlling rats and mice. You may have learned about digital and ultrasonic rodent control approaches. Such devices use ultrahigh frequency sound waves to drive-away all kinds of home and garden pests, including birds, rodents and mosquitoes.

Madrid, Spain (Sports Network) - Reigning champion Serena Williams went
the distance in order to win her quarterfinal match, while Maria Sharapova had
an easier time reaching the semifinals at the $4 million Madrid Open, a clay-
court French Open tune-up.
The world No. 1 Williams barely got past Spanish wild card Anabel Medina
Garrigues, 6-3, 0-6, 7-5, in 2 hours, 14 minutes at The Magic Box. Medina
Garrigues lost despite recording more service breaks (5-4) than the American
superstar on Friday.
The Wimbledon and U.S. Open champion Williams beat Victoria Azarenka in
last year's marquee Madrid finale.
Meanwhile, the second-seeded former No. 1 and reigning French Open titlist
Sharapova stayed hot by handling Estonian slugger Kaia Kanepi 6-2, 6-4 on Day
7 in the Spanish capital.
Sharapova is seeking her second title in two events, having recently run the
table in Stuttgart.
Williams and Sharapova could clash in a blockbuster final on Sunday.

Team Camí Comtal (AldayJover, RCR and West 8 ) winning entry provides relief to the bustling city of Cerdá, introducing a new green slow route to counter today's urban frenzy and activity, represented by the (other) Diagonal Avenue.
The new green corridor, four kilometer long, extending from the city's fringe deep into the heart of the centre is the successful result of the tunneling of the new Very fast Train route from France to Barcelona Sagrera/Sans. The urban precincts on either side of the route which used to be separated by railway yards are now linked by a series of parks.
A new green diagonal axis is extended into the core of Barcelona thanks to the burial of the existing railways. This new public space is a means to connect the sea, the city and its natural surroundings. The new La Sagrera linear park or Parc del Camí Comtal represents a new 'Slow' Barcelona that gives relief to the urban rush of the city of Cerdá. It greatly adds biodiversity as it introduces a new slow and easy green cross, facing the famous Diagonal avenue, paradigm of the urban life.
A new green diagonal axis extends into the very heart of XXI century Barcelona. It is a natural path for pedestrians and bicycles as protagonists of a new era of a greener and more habitable metropolis, which is in direct contact with its natural surroundings. The initiative is a key to improve biodiversity and a stronger urban ecological role of the city.

Vancouver, BC (Sports Network) - Ales Hemsky netted the deciding goal in the
shootout, as the Edmonton Oilers rallied from a two-goal deficit to
overcome the Vancouver Canucks, 3-2, at Rogers Centre.
Hemsky beat Canucks netminder Roberto Luongo cleanly with a wrister to end the
second round, following up Sam Gagner's backhander on Edmonton's first try.
Devan Dubnyk stopped both Alex Edler and Alex Burrows to salt away the
Hemsky and Jordan Eberle scored in regulation for the Oilers, who halted a
four-game slide to their division rivals in their season opener. Dubnyk ended
up with 27 saves.
"We still have a long way to go before I get any (Gatorade) showers," said
Oilers head coach Ralph Krueger after earning his first NHL win.
Edler and Zack Kassian tallied for the Canucks, who put together a better
effort than Saturday's 7-3 loss to Anaheim but were lucky to come up with one
point. Luongo finished with 30 stops in his first start of the year.
Edler gave the hosts a 1-0 lead with just over nine minutes left in the
opening period, carrying the puck from his own zone and ripping a slap shot
home from the left wing.
Kassian doubled the advantage with 5:42 remaining in the second period, one-
timing a Daniel Sedin feed from in front.
Eberle beat Luongo with a backhander in the waning seconds and the Oilers went
to intermission down 2-1.
Edmonton knotted the game at 2-2 on a power play as the clock ticked under six
minutes remaining as Hemsky's rising shot from the right wing sailed under the
crook of Luongo's left arm.
Game Notes
Edmonton won in Vancouver for the first time since a 4-2 decision on Apr. 2,
2011 ... The Canucks won five of six matchups with the Oilers a season ago,
including all three in British Columbia ... Oilers rookie forward Nail
Yakupov, the first-overall pick in the 2012 draft, finished his initial NHL
game with a minus-two and one shot on goal in 16:20 of ice time.

I've glanced through the last few pages as well as bugzilla and couldn't see anything about these but I never seem to use the right search terms so I'd like to know if these issues are known before I file bug reports or if fixes are available.
1) Some messages refuse to include text when replying/forwarding. It never works for certain messages but always will for others. The body of the message will be completely blank, without text or signature. I can type new text however but still pretty useless as a replying/forwarding tool.
2) (KNOWN and posted in bugzilla) Read receipts don't seem to work properly when you accept to send them. You get a soap error.
3) I installed ZD2 on a second computer. All e-mails were showing up but only the "Local Folders" calendars were showing up. Uninstalled presto and back to ZCS until later revisions.
4) Can't set Zimbra Desktop as default mail app (doesn't remember setting after clicking save). Under win 7 so UAC might be in play but ZD1 worked (well the setting didn't do much but it remembered it).
5) Sometimes, the inbox screen won't refresh until I click on the inbox tab. I haven't found any pattern to this. This is espcially annoying when I delete an e-mail and it stays there until I click on the inbox tab.
6) The ZD icon does not flash when I have a new msg (tested only on win 7 - might have to do with taskbar ?).
7) It's memory usage is still way too high, espcially for systems with only 512 MB of RAM (a few of our older laptops) to use which is disapointing as I was under the impression this version was supposed to be more optimized than ZD1. I found Outlook to do a much better job in that department.
8) A big one here. Sometimes ZD just looses conncetivity with the server and will not get it back until the zdesktop is closed. Which isn't as easy as it once was as "Stop Services" isn't an available option any longer when right clicking the taskbar icon. That's obviously a big issue. This seems to appear mostly when getting out of hibernation but it might happen at other times as well.
Other than that it works pretty well. Big improvement in the looks and ease of use department. Kudos on that.
Have a few of these issues been reported/solved already ? I think 2 and 5 have been reported already but I couldn't find anything else.
Looking forward to the next release.
Edit : Forgot number 8 which is a major issue.

Welcome to our Education page! We are pleased that you have chosen our wonderful facility for your field trip experience.
The Children's Zoo at Celebration Square provides habitats for the animals that live here. The job of the Zoo staff is to make sure that all animals have the appropriate food, water, shelter and space to live. The Zoo also strives to educate people about animals and their habitats. You will be visiting the habitats/exhibits of many zoo animals that are in trouble in the wild (threatened, endangered, or a species of special concern) because of human impact. Their habitat is being destroyed or polluted, or they are collected for their fur or the pet trade.
The purpose of this lesson is to provide students with educational learning opportunities in the topics of ecosystems, the role of humans in ecosystems and conservation. This program teaches us that we share the Earth with plants and animals and that we are all connected. Upon arrival at the Zoo your group will have a short presentation on group visit rules from a Zoo staff member. Then your group is free to explore the Zoo at their own pace. Worksheets and teacher references are available for you to print out and use at your discretion. The lesson is split up by grade levels, and is free with the group admission price for all school groups.
Grades K - 2
Grades 3 - 5
The Scavenger Hunt shares the following ideas with your students during their field trip:
- Students will be exploring the Zoo and learning about habitat, ecosystems and conservation.
- All animals, including people, live in a habitat. Habitat consists of food, water, shelter and space.
- Plants and animals live together in ecosystems like lakes, forests, fields, deserts, oceans, etc.
- Human impact causes dramatic changes to the world's ecosystems, affecting animals and their habitats.
- We have the responsibility to care for the Earth and protect ecosystems for animals and future generations. This is called conservation.
- The Children's Zoo is responsible for caring for its animals by providing habitat that is appropriate for each animal.
- The Children's Zoo also provides education in conservation and positive action for the natural world.
- RECYCLE ROO PROGRAM: Recycling stations are located throughout the Children's Zoo in which bottles and cans are collected for recycling.
- ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY: The Children's Zoo participates in the State of Michigan highway beautification program, in which litter is removed from the side of roadways.
- SAVE THE RAINFOREST DONATION METER: Visitors to the Children's Zoo can give donations to help save the rainforest from habitat destruction.
- ANNUAL CONSERVATION EVENTS: Go Wild! Earth Day Celebration; Endangered Species Day; World Ocean's Day; Birds, Bugs, Butterflies and Blooms; Zoo Boo; Arctic Zoo Fest

NEW YORK, Dec. 1 — What do the U.S. Postal Service, the Muppets and Santa Claus have in common? Neither rain nor snow nor heat nor gloom of night will keep them from delivering dreams this holiday season.
Kermit the Frog and Fozzie Bear joined Postmaster General John E. Potter today at the historic James A. Farley Post Office lobby in New York City to kick off the holiday mailing season and the Postal Service's Letters to Santa program.
"The holiday season isn't just the busiest time of the year for the Postal Service — it's our best time of year," said Potter. "For nearly 100 years, the Postal Service's Letters to Santa program has made dreams come true for those in need. This is a time to celebrate how postal employees, charitable organizations and businesses have made a difference in the lives of children coast to coast."
"We're excited to be helping the Postal Service make the holiday special for kids across the country. It's the perfect way to celebrate," said Kermit the Frog. A postmark of Kermit the Frog will appear in the upper right-hand corner of holiday cards and letters mailed throughout the month of December.
"Helping Santa Claus is always a good idea, especially at this time of year," added Fozzie Bear, who saluted the Postal Service for 234 years of delivering holiday cheer — and saluted Santa just to be on the safe side.

Capital Goods: September 2012
Tide is turning in Tar Heel politics
When Gov. Beverly Perdue spoke to some of the states top business leaders at the North Carolina Chambers annual meeting in March, she should have been at ease. After all, shes cut from the same cloth as the pro-business Democrats think former Gov. Jim Hunt or recently retired Senate leader Marc Basnight who have dominated state government for decades, with their political fortunes intertwined and intermingled with the economic ones of so many of the interests represented in that room.
But Perdue appeared anything but comfortable. At times, she chided her audience, questioning its commitment to improving education to produce a strong workforce. At times, she seemed hesitant and unsure what to say. Her performance might be dismissed as that of a politician shaken by declining approval ratings, so shaken that she had decided two months earlier not to seek a second term. I saw it as something else: another sign of how the tide has turned particularly among the movers and shakers who are major campaign donors in North Carolina politics.
That shift is shaping the race to replace Perdue. You can hear it in the rhetoric. You can see and count it in the money. Former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory, the Republican candidate, has raised more than twice that of Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton, his Democratic opponent. Yes, he got a head start. He has basically been running for governor since he lost to Perdue in 2008. Dalton only entered the race after learning she wouldnt run (though he was already raising money for the less-expensive race for lieutenant governor). Even so, during the April 21- June 30 reporting period, McCrory raised $2.2 million, compared with Daltons $1 million.
Some might explain away those numbers as simply McCrorys access to the Charlotte business communitys deep pockets. But didnt he have those same ties four years ago, when Perdue was the one cleaning up in the money chase? A better explanation is that money follows power. McCrory benefits from being the front-runner even when folks figured he was going up against an incumbent and from the fact that Republicans, with their control of the legislature, hold power in Raleigh. What Carter Wrenn, the longtime campaign aide to Jesse Helms, calls the easy money contributions from those seeking access to power mostly has slipped away from Dalton and his fellow Democrats in the legislature.
Thats not the only thing that has changed. As Perdue pointed out in March, some now doubt the long-held belief, shared by both political and business leaders, that improving public education is key to improving the states standing. GOP legislative leaders have been dismissive of efforts the Democrats made to improve schools. They have embraced alternatives to public education and may well embrace more, including voucherlike programs. Theyve done so with no interference from groups such as the Chamber, which once championed Hunts programs. Then again, back in those days, the Chamber raised little fuss when Democrats responded to economic downturns and decreased tax revenue with tax increases.
McCrory has echoed his partys legislative leaders, arguing that there is something broken in state government and state policy. The result: North Carolina is losing its luster when it comes to business growth and job creation. One of the things that needs fixing most, he argues, is an archaic tax structure that makes the states corporate- and personal-income taxes among the highest in the Southeast. He has talked about revamping the tax code to look more like Floridas or Tennessees. Neither taxes most forms of personal income.
Though hes from the foothills rather than eastern North Carolina, Daltons political philosophy isnt much different than Hunts, Basnights or Perdues. If the state is losing business to its neighbors, he says, its because the Republican-controlled legislature has made ill-advised cuts to education and economic-development initiatives. Not so long ago, that kind of talk would have attracted the support of big-business honchos. These days, a different piper is playing a different tune. Whether its because they like the piper, his power or his tune, many who once chased after another have chosen to follow.

Item # SHI0353
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Trigger Shifters in stock than that.View Similar Products
Shimano XTR SL-M980 Shifters $0.00
These SL-M980 XTR Rapidfire Shifters finally look the part. What we mean is that they're sleek, minimalist, and racy -- just what you'd expect from Shimano's top-shelf offering. And in contrast to its racing heritage, XTR is now designed for racing and trail riding. These shifters are made to function with both their 2x10 Race and 3x10 Trail XTR groups. The left side shifter has a tiny switch that functions as a mode converter allowing it to work with either group. Just select your chainring configuration and go ride.
Like previous generations of XTR shifters, the right side shifter has multi-release function, which means that you can make upshifts to smaller cogs more than one gear at a time. Less expensive groups like XT and SLX do not have this function. Both shifters also have instant release, so cable tension is released as soon as you click the forward trigger paddle. It can be operated with either your thumb or finger. This 2-way release design allows easy upshifts in the back even when standing out of the saddle. One technology that is new for these 980 XTR Shifters is Shimano's Vivid Index. It creates a more positive feel for the large, thumb shifter paddle. As you push it, you can't help but notice the click of the indexed ratchet mechanism so you'll always know you've made the shift. Another benefit is that the "weight" of the shifts is more consistent across the gear range for the rear shifter so a shift from the 34 to 36t feels like a shift from the 12 to 13t cogs.
The XTR Rapidfire Plus Shifters SL-M980 come as a set with left and right shifters. They can be used with XTR Race and Trail, double and triple cranksets.
- Multi-release shifting lets you jump over multiple gears at a time
- A mode converter allows for 2x and 3x front chain rings
- I-spec clamp available separately for a clean one-clamp brake and shifter mounting

Crispy Shifting
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This XTR replaced Deore shifters that came with my mtn bike, let along with XT front and rear derailleurs that were also replaced. Can't say much but wow! They never fail me and best feature is that the rear shifter can be push with either your thumb or forefinger. Worth the investment.
On some reviews said that they felt the shifter is filmsy or too much freeplay. This didn't occur to me whatsoever.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I set up a right sided XTR shifter for 1 by 10 hardtail. I have to agree with the other reviewer regarding the flimsy feel of the paddles. I do like the light, quick action of the thumb downshift, but the upshift paddle does feel very flimsy and is stiff to operate. I think I expect more from the XTR level, but overall, the shifter works fine.
Almost perfect
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love the 2-way release trigger (thumb push or pull with index finger), the multi-release rear shifter (can shift to two higher gears on the same push/pull, and also to four lower gears on the same push), and the swiss watch-like sound and feel of the clicks, and the high end SP41 cable set it comes with, but the paddles still feel a little flimsy for my tastes.
I'm a thumb-push kind of guy and I feel at home on SRAM shifters. The SRAM paddles feel much more solid and don't have as much free movement before it feels resistance. I also like the match maker 2 system, though I haven't tried the I-spec system to compare. If the SRAM shifter also had multi-release and had a 2/3x adjustment for the front shifter, I feel it would beat XT. Not a XTR contender really, as it lacks that refined mechanical feel (the swiss watch feel), but the XX is super light at about 90g per shifter w/o cable.
Shimano just needs to work on those paddles and the "free play" before it engages to get this to feel perfect. I feel that its Swiss watch like feel actually is what makes it feel like it's worth the price over XT and SRAM offerings, not to mention the premium cable and housing included and longer warranty period.

Would like to know where I can get an i-spec clamp for the clean mounting of shifter to brake. Looks like Competitivecyclist doesn't sell this clamp. Sure would appreciate a referral.
The clamps being referred to are part of the brakes. Both the XT and XTR brake levers have mounts for these. Super clean, and works really well.

not sure what derailleurs I have on my cannondale 2005 (3 x 9 ring ) I know I have Sram x 7 shifters. Will these shifters work or do you need to know derailleurs?
Unfortunately, these will not work with your setup, These are 10speed, so they'll have one more click than you need, and Shimano and SRAM shifters and derailleurs are not compatible with one another. We don't have any 9-speed SRAM Shifters on Competitive Cyclist, but you may be able to find some on eBay or Amazon.
Does it come with cables?
Does it come with cables?
Yes, the XTR shifters comes with a Shimano derailleur cable kit. If you have any questions, I would be happy to help. firstname.lastname@example.com

I have a 10 speed road bike w shimano components, i want to put a straight bar will these shifters work w my components?
Sorry, but Shimano road and mountain bike shifters have different pull ratios and cannot be mixed. You would need to go with a Shimano flat bar road shifter, such as the Shimano Tiagra SL-4600. These shifters would work with your road group. Unfortunately, we do not stock this item. If you have trouble finding this locally, I can look at special ordering a set for you. email@example.com

Writing Center
West Chester University
Dr. Margaret Ervin
Associate Professor of English
FHG Library Room 251
Graduate Student Writing Tutors
We are pleased to have graduate students from diverse academic disciplines working as tutors in the writing center. In recent years, we have had representatives of the graduate programs in not only English but also communication studies, social work, public health, Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL), geography, psychology, philosophy, and counseling. This variety of backgrounds and disciplines underscores our mission to serve students, faculty, and staff from across campus. They must take ENG 600, the course on writing center theory and practice, to be eligible to work as a writing tutor; however, graduate students hired in the summer may take the course in the fall, consecutively with their first semester of employment in the writing center.
Undergraduate Student Writing Tutors
We welcome undergraduate students from all academic disciplines as tutors in the writing center. Successful completion of ENG 397, Tutoring Writing, makes undergrads eligible to apply for the following semester. ENG 397, which familiarizes undergraduate students with writing center theory and practice, is a course in the English major writings track and counts as a cross-over course for students in the English major literatures track. For students in every major, ENG 397 bears the writing emphasis designation.
The Course that Prepares Students for Writing Center Work: ENG 397 or ENG 600
The course on writing center theory and practice is usually taught in a combined undergrad/grad section in the fall in late afternoon or evening. Students may access MyWCU from the WCU home page to obtain current information on course offerings. Please contact Dr. Margaret Ervin if you are interested in seeing a sample course syllabus.
Graduate Assistantship Application Process
Graduate students interested in becoming a tutor in the writing center should apply for a graduate assistantship in the spring semester. Assistantships are generally offered for the following year. Preference is given to students entering the university for their first year of study. Writing center graduate assistantships are funded through the generosity of the Provost and the College of Arts and Sciences Dean. Graduate students accepted for a tutoring position are required to enroll in ENG 600, Tutoring Composition, as part of their preparation for writing center work.
Applicants should submit the following to Dr. Ervin, Writing Center Director, in ONE PDF file (append documents to the file using page or section breaks):
Undergraduate Students Interested in Working in the Writing Center
Undergraduate students interested in tutoring in the writing center as an hourly-wage worker should submit the information listed above in numbers 1-6 in a PDF files to Dr. Ervin. Applications may be submitted during fall or spring semesters. To be eligible to apply for a writing center tutoring position, undergrads must have successfully completed ENG 397, Tutoring Writing.
Other Opportunities to Assist Writers
The Learning Assistance Resource Center (LARC) is a peer tutoring option for undergraduates or graduate students. LARC does not offer tutoring for writing courses, with the exception of tutoring in the Academic Development Program (ADP) sections of ENG Q20 and WRT 120. ADP runs in the second summer session as well as fall and spring. In past years, undergraduate students who have taken ENG 397 have some advantage when applying to serve as a tutor in the summer ADP program. See LARC's web site for details on their application process.
Writing Zones is a college access program that sends WCU undergraduate students to be writing mentors in Kennett High School and at other sites. See the Writing Zones web site for details on their application process. All English BSEd students have an opportunity to tutor in Writing Zones when they take ENG 392, Writing and Teaching Writing, after formal admission to teacher education. Writing Zones also hires "core mentors" who may or may not be in the BSEd program. Having taken ENG 397 is a benefit when applying to Writing Zones.

One way in which our society is unequal? Education.
(Page 2 of 2)
It's no secret that there are too many school districts in New York state. Study after study by smart people points to the fact that there is no reason for a tiny school district with 800 students to be independent when it could be merged with an adjoining district. But parents and students want to have school identity, and won't give up their sweatshirts with local logos for a modern, consolidated school district.
The next issue is the formulas for the distribution of education aid. Some of the neediest school districts get next to nothing in new aid, while the land-wealthy districts do much better. The governor's Race to the Top program, which rewards better-performing schools with more money, is a great idea. But for the past 50 years, everyone has been talking about revising the way we distribute aid, and nothing ever happens.
Some of my friends on Long Island think that parents in New York City are getting a better deal because they pay very little to support education. Because of poor long-range planning, the city lacks a sufficient number of public schools to accommodate its population, and parents turn to private schools. Private-school tuition in almost any school I can think of is now over $40,000 a year, which is an impossible burden for the average hardworking family.
There is no doubt that New York state is blessed with many brilliant and dedicated teachers, and we graduate many very promising students. But overall, the system is hurting badly, and so far no one has come up with a way to give every student an equal chance at getting a good job and having a meaningful life.

Comments about Koolatron Fun Auto Cooler:
I use the product mostly during travel via car on day trips or vacations. I enjoy being able to take the cooler into my hotel room and have cold drinks and cold snacks available for happy hour or in the evening. I often use the supplemental power supply that is available and plug into 110 volts at the hotel. Omly problem I have is it's cooling power. The items you put into the cooler had better be very cold to begin with and you will need to use ice packs, best placed at the bottom of the cooler in order to get maximum duration before the ice packs melt.
