Two injured after crashing in pursuit
A police pursuit in Goshen ended when two men on a motorcycle crashed early Tuesday morning.
According to a release from the Goshen Police Department, the chase started around 1:55 a.m. when an officer saw the two men on the motorcycle passing vehicles at high speed on the intersection of Indiana Avenue and Pike Street. When the officer turned his lights on and attempted to make a traffic stop, the motorcycle sped up instead of stopping.
The pursuit continued east on Pike Street, with the motorcycle running through a red light on the intersection of Pike and Second streets and turning south on Third street.
The driver of the motorcycle turned onto Lincolnway East after failing to stop at three intersections with stop signs, and lost control of the motorcycle on 2600 the block of Lincolnway East. He drove off the road and crashed on property of Rap Automotive, 2602 Lincolnway East.
The driver of the motorcycle was identified as Carlos Delagdo, 24 of 1204 Twinflower Drive, Goshen. Erick Ponce, 18, of 20676 Meadow Lane, Goshen, was the passenger.
Delgado was treated by Goshen paramedics and transported to IU Health Goshen Hospital for further assessment. Ponce had a broken leg right leg, which was also bleeding. He was treated by Goshen paramedics, taken to IU Health Goshen and then flown to Memorial Hospital in South Bend. Both men had injuries that weren't life threatening, according to police.
Delgado was arrested on charges of driving while suspended, speeding, disregarding a lighted signal, resisting law enforcement resulting in serious bodily injury and operating while intoxicated resulting in serious bodily injury.

From Metadata to Ontology Representation: A Case of Converting Severe Weather Forecast Metadata to an Ontology
Miao Chen and Beth Plale
Monday, 6:30pm
With the increasing amount of data generated in geoscience research, it becomes critical to describe data sets in meaningful ways. A large number of described data sets are described using XML metadata, which has proved a useful means of expressing data characteristics. An ontological representation is another way of representing data sets with the benefit of providing rich semantics, convenient linkage to other data sets, and good interoperability with other data. This study represents geoscience data sets as an ontology based on an existing metadata description and nature of the data set. It takes the case of Vortex2 data, a regional weather forecast data set collected in Summer 2010, to showcase how forecast data can be represented in ontology by using the existing metadata information. It supplies another type of representation of the data set with added semantics and potential functionalities compared to the previous metadata representation.

High School Grad Rate Is Highest Since 1976
January 22, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation's high school graduation rate is the highest since 1976, but more than a fifth of students are still failing to get their diploma in four years, the Education Department......
1976? Was that the year Ford passed the baton to Carter? The last time gasoline was under 80-cents a gallon and a cup of coffee cost a quarter?

Three years later, in 1979, US debacle in Iran, gasoline prices under Carter doubled.
Fast forward thirty years to 2009, US debacles in Iran, Egypt, Libya,... gasoline prices under Obama doubled.
Maybe Barry Ocarter needs to start wearing more cardigans...

Its the modern way of computing results, the political way. We don't fail students and give them a high school diploma for not work. School administrators and social scientists have created a new way to give away a meaningless diploma and then they and politicians tell us that its oh so successful. But there are high school grads who cannot read, cannot write, have no jobs skills other than stacking boxes and we are supposed to be happy. Ask a teacher how much pressure is on them to pass students who do not bother to even try.

Troll, you never miss a chance to show how poorly informed you are, do you?
Gasoline went to $4.00+ per gallon in 2007. Who was our fearless leader in 2007? And did he have a Texan accent? And did he have an IQ of 92? And wasn't he just a bit lacking in oratory skills? And didn't he display latent retardation anomalies? He was your man, not mine. Give me an educated President every time.

Triton, there's a lot of truth to your comments. I do not fault you or contest anything you say here. High school was not a great experience for me, but the eleven semesters of college was phenomenal. Praise was lavish. Rewards were earned and unexpected scholarships were awarded, which helped pay for more classes. I loved it.

Window Glass Rubber Install - Gone With The Wind…Written by on October 11, 2011 …and the rattles, creaks, bumps, and slams
One of the first things I always do after purchasing a car I plan on driving (as opposed to a restoration project) is to replace all the glass window rubber, weatherstripping, door bumpers, and windlace. This is usually a day to day-and-a-half job depending upon whether I'm removing the front and rear glass as well or just working on the side glass, but can make a world of difference right off the bat when it comes to the comfort level inside the cab. A rattletrap cab with banging doors and glass is really obnoxious when you're trying to enjoy that new project and it doesn't impress your buddies one bit (not to mention your wife). Besides that, allowing the door glass to rattle around inside the door is only going to ruin it that much quicker. And if you're like me, you like to fix things before they break not put up with them until they do.
It should come as no surprise then that the first thing I did after purchasing my '68 Chevy was to pull the old door glass and vent window assemblies out and replace all the rotten rubber bits. It's a fairly straightforward process with the exception of the vent window assembly. These can be a bit of a pain for the first timer since the assembly is riveted together and replacing the vent window rubber requires removing said rivets, installing the rubber (it's tight!) and replacing the rivets with a rather awkward riveting tool. It can be a handful for one guy, but with a decent work area and a vise, it can be done; and the end result will be well worth it.
I lucked out with my C10; all the glass was in great shape when I picked her up. The rubber parts though did leave something to be desired. They were cracked and in some cases completely missing, leaving the cab with the resulting bangs, clunks, and rattles as it tooled down the road; that's no good.
To get my doors nice and tight again, I gave the good folks over at LMC Truck a call and put an order together using their super handy online catalog. They know how thick some of us shop rats can be and made things easy by grouping like items into kits. For instance, their window channel kit contains the inner and outer seals, door glass runs, and felt inserts to do both doors. That's about as easy as it gets. I also added a couple other things to finish off the doors so I wouldn't have to come back to them at a later date such as the door weatherstripping and door bumpers.
I set out on a Saturday morning while the C10 was still sitting in my driveway. By that afternoon, I had all the glass back in, the mechanisms on both the doors replaced and the window regulators greased up, painted, and in their respective locations. A new pair of door handles and window cranks with the proper colored escutcheons wrapped up the install.
It truly is amazing how big a difference a few rubber parts can make in transforming a rattle trap old truck into a tightly assembled machine. Now the doors open easily and shut nice and tight with a firm "thud" instead of the previous "clank" while the windows roll up and down as if they were new. What was a day's worth of work will make a world's bit of difference keeping the noise, wind, and heat out as the project progresses and we install things like a decent stereo and an A/C system. Stay tuned! CCT

The first step in accessing the window assemblies is to remove the clips that retain the door handle and window cranks. Then the door panel can be unscrewed from the door.The vent window needs to be removed first. The two bottom screws that attach the division bar to the door are removed…With the screws removed and the door glass completely lowered in the door, the vent window can be tilted backwards and lifted up to clear the doorframe.The sash channel of the door glass is relieved in two spots so that the regulator rollers can be slid out. A bit of up and down and back and forth will align the reliefs with the rollers, thus freeing the door glass assembly, allowing easy removal up through the doorframe.With the door glass set aside, the inner and outer door seals can be removed using a pair of pliers and an upwards tug…
Once apart, I decided to give everything a good cleaning and a quick spray with satin black paint. Here, I'm cleaning the sash channel so that the window will operate smoothly. Note the aforementioned reliefs that allow the window to be removed from the regulator.The stock vent window rubber is noticeably worn and brittle to the touch, preventing it from properly sealing against the glass.To rebuild the vent window assembly, I picked up a new division bar and felt kit that came complete with the necessary rivets and installation tool.The first step is to remove the vent window and frame from the window assembly. This is done by removing the top rivet……as well as the lower spring assembly. The spring assembly is what holds the vent window in the proper location in the window assembly.There are also four rivets that hold the division bar and vent window assembly together. These need to be removed as well.
The vent window handle kit is disassembled by removing the roll pin that holds the handle to the shaft.Painted and clean, here is the vent window assembly and seal kit with the new division bar and felt ready to be riveted together.The rear seal is first riveted to the division bar using the provided hardware and installation tool from LMC.
It's a handful, but a few careful blows with a hammer gets the rivet installed and the two pieces assembled as one.At this point, installing rivets should be second nature so attaching the vent window assembly to the division bar is easy.I like grease as it makes things operate nice and smooth and since I want my windows to operate effortlessly, I apply some grease to the teeth and drive gear of the window regulator…One thing that really helps making those doors shut nice and solid-like is a few strips of peel-and-stick insulation material. It doesn't take much and makes a world of difference.
Now it's time to drop in the glass. I use 3M weld and spark deflection paper for all kinds of things in the garage, and it works great to protect glass from scratches. Simply drop the door glass in and line it up onto the sash channel.The vent window assembly goes in just like it came out, only in reverse. It's a bit nerve racking trying not to scratch anything, and as you can see, I really don't want to damage that pristine paintjob!Once it's in, simply push it up into the corner and tighten up the fasteners evenly until the vent window operates smoothly.New door glass stop bumpers prevent the sash channel from crashing into the stop bracket when the window is rolled down.The icing on the cake for the door glass install is to push in the inner and outer window seals. Simply line up the tabs with the holes in the door and push them straight down until they snap into place.Since we had the door apart, I opted to solve another problem— poorly operating door latch mechanisms. LMC offers these guys up brand spankin' new, so replacing the old, crusty stock ones was a no brainer.
…before the door panel is installed, followed by the new escutcheons, window crank, and door handle.

FGDC Newsletter Summer 1998
FGDC Privacy Policy is Endorsed
Policy Balances Data Access and Privacy Issues
In April, the FGDC Steering Committee endorsed the FGDC Policy on Access to Public Information and the Protection of Personal Information Privacy in Federal Geospatial Databases. The policy is needed because of growing concerns about privacy issues related to geographic information systems.
Federal geospatial databases are being built with increasing levels of geographic specificity and often include personal information that must be protected. "The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is charged with protecting endangered species and the habitats upon which they depend, the bulk of which occur on private property,"explained Owen Amber, Systems Analyst with the Division of Information Resources of the Service. "In order to carry out our mission, the Service must work in close partnership with many organizations and individuals, especially with private land owners. To do so effectively, we must be able to assure them that their privacy rights will not be violated. Trust is of the essence."
The privacy policy balances privacy protection and data access issues. It articulates the FGDC's endorsement of public access to information and appropriate protections for the privacy and confidentiality of personal information in federal geospatial databases. The policy's key provisions are that: federal agencies should improve public access to geospatial data while minimizing costs to taxpayers, individuals should be informed of the purposes for data collection beforehand, and agencies should take steps to protect the privacy of individuals and limit the amount of personal information used in geospatial databases.
The policy synthesizes information access and privacy principles from many different areas. It is based on law- principally the Privacy Act and the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), related federal policies (such Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, "Management of Federal Information Resources"), and well- regarded fair information and privacy practices and principles (particularly the work of the Privacy Working Group of the U.S. Information Infrastructure Task Force). The policy echoes and reinforces federal agency directions on privacy and data access. For example, "The Department of Energy has always - for obvious reasons - been inherently security conscious," noted David Morehouse, a Senior Petroleum Geologist with the Department of Energy. "It is therefore not surprising that the new FGDC privacy policy embodies and mirrors DOE's existing principles and practices on personal privacy."
One of the policy's guiding rationales is that broad-based, consistent principles of privacy protection must be built into databases and systems from the beginning. Building in protection when systems are designed ensures smoother implementation and operation of the process later on.
The FGDC is an interagency committee composed of 16 Cabinet-level and independent federal agencies, and includes participation by the National Association of Counties, the National League of Cities, the International City/County Management Association, state geographic information coordination councils, and the National States Geographic Information Council. For the policy to be relevant to all agencies, it must be articulated at a general level. Therefore, rather than providing specific directives, the policy provides guidance for federal agencies as they develop their own policies and procedures. It is hoped that other organizations in the geospatial data community will also find the policy useful.
Federal agencies are already beginning to implement the policy. For example, the Natural Resource Conservation Service is cooperating with the National Arbor Day Foundation to sponsor a Workshop on Privacy in Natural Resource Data Collection and Use. The workshop will clarify privacy issues in the natural resources context and identify potential solutions. It will be held in Nebraska City, NE, November 18-19, 1998.
Many individuals contributed to the development of this policy. Kathy Covert, the FGDC staff member who led the effort, said, "I would like to take this opportunity to publicly acknowledge the FGDC Coordination Group and the Steering Committee for their leadership on this important public policy issue. I'd especially like to recognize two individuals who, although not members of the FGDC committees, devoted time and attention 'beyond the call of duty' to assist in the policy development: Marilyn Legnini, the FOIA and Privacy Act Officer for the Bureau of Land Management, and Maya Bernstein, Policy Analyst with the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs of OMB." The full text of the policy is available by mail from the FGDC and on the FGDC web site.

Framework Data Survey Wraps Up
More Than 4500 Surveys Returned
The Framework Data Survey, conducted by the National States Geographic Information Council (NSGIC), is moving into the data analysis phase. More than 4500 responses have been received to date in one of the most comprehensive geographic data survey and analysis projects ever conducted. The survey concentrates on framework data themes produced by state and local governments. Framework data themes include geodetic control, elevation and bathymetry, orthoimagery, transportation, hydrography, political boundaries, and cadastral information. Counties, in particular, have been targeted, although respondents include other local governments, regional groups, state agencies, federal agencies, nonprofit groups, and the private sector. "It is very exciting that we have all 50 states and the Inter-tribal GIS Council committed to participate," remarked Hank Garie, NSGIC survey project director and director of the GIS Program for the State of New Jersey. The survey is unique not only for its breadth, but also for its quality control procedures, the types of analyses and interpretation that will be published, the availability of the results in a variety of formats, and the widespread participation and effort on the part of the spatial data community.
Data analysis has already begun. Several states have completed their survey activities, and the data are now being examined by a team from NSGIC, FGDC, and the U.S. Geological Survey. The team is conducting a thorough quality assurance procedure to ensure reliable data that can be used in many different types of analyses. After routine data analyses have been conducted, issues related to framework data production, use, and availability will be examined, and conditions that foster framework data development will be explored.
The survey results will be a valuable resource to all sectors of the spatial data community, providing information about what framework data exist, who is producing them, how they are being disseminated, and how organizations are working together to build the framework. The survey analysis will test some of the existing hypotheses about framework data production and use, support (or refute) anecdote-based assertions, and provide insight for further development and sharing of framework data.
The results of the survey and of the data analysis and interpretation will be published in late 1998 and mid-1999. The first publication, a preview report that will appear as a special supplement to the November issue of Geo Info Systems, will cover the preliminary results from the early states' data and discuss the directions the full data analysis is taking. The National Technical Report, scheduled for release next summer, will examine results from all 50 states. The survey data will be made available digitally for everyone examine and analyze. More information about the data availability will be provided on the NSGIC and FGDC web pages.
The Framework Data Survey is a "good example of organizations working together toward a common goal to push the NSDI forward."
The survey has been a cooperative effort among NSGIC team members, state survey coordinators, GIS project representatives across the country, and FGDC and USGS staff. The survey is a "good example of organizations working together toward a common goal to push the NSDI forward," Garie pointed out. It is a communal effort in which the individual participants can "see that their piece will benefit a broader whole."
If you have received a survey but have not yet returned it to NSGIC, please do so as soon as possible. You don't want to miss the opportunity to have your results included.
Hopi Tribe Presents LIS Briefing
The manager of the Hopi Tribe Land Information System (LIS) presented a briefing at the Department of the Interior's Geographic Data Committee Meeting in April. Phillip Tuwaletstiwa and Kyle Bohnenestiehl of the Hopi Tribe and Keith Kirk of the Office of Surface Mining presented the philosophy and technical aspects of the system. The Hopi Tribe's LIS
"We believe we are stewards of the earth. If you cannot see it, you cannot manage it."
provides a system to visualize the Hopi Indian Reservation's cultural and natural resources. The system combines a commitment to responsible stewardship of the land with the technology to manage it. "We believe we are stewards of the earth. If you cannot see it, you cannot manage it," explained Tuwaletstiwa.
Following the National Spatial Data Infrastructure standards "makes good sense."
The objective of the LIS is to map Hopi cultural and natural resources and portray the information for the benefit of the Hopi People, the tribal government, and others outside the reservation. The system developers wanted to educate the Hopi People about their reservation, share certain geospatial information with others, help other tribes with their LIS technology, and follow the National Spatial Data standards because "it makes good sense." The tribe uses the LIS to map its villages, portray reservation boundaries, document cultural resources, and support the Little Colorado River water rights litigation, Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act enforcement, and range management. The Hopi are also extending their geodetic control network, developing their own large-scale DOQ's based on 1997 flight data, and developing more than 100 GIS base layers. For more information about this project, call Phillip J. Tuwaletstiwa at 520-734-3613.
New York State Clearinghouse Wins Award
The Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) has recognized the New York State GIS Clearinghouse with a 1998 Exemplary Systems in Government award in the NSDI/Data Partnerships category. The award will be presented at the opening session of URISA's annual conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, on July 20. The New York State GIS Clearinghouse was established in 1996 and is administered by the New York State GIS Coordinating Body under the direction of the New York State Office for Technology. The Clearinghouse was envisioned as a central, easily accessible, organized, and searchable list of GIS data sets, and it has developed into a focal point for the state GIS Data Sharing Cooperative and a cornerstone of the NYS GIS Coordination Program. The Clearinghouse's highly effective method uses straightforward Internet applications to establish an electronic data- sharing mechanism.
The New York State Clearinghouse site is "low cost, low tech, low flash, but high on service and accessibility."
The Clearinghouse's major features include an inventory of GIS data sets, electronic access to agency GIS data sets, a GIS metadata repository, electronic forms for updating the Clearinghouse data, listservers for disbursing information, interactive electronic mail, and a gateway from the National Geospatial Data Clearinghouse to regional clearinghouses within New York State. The Clearinghouse also serves as a "one-stop" location for information on the statewide GIS program, the New York State GIS Data Sharing Co-operative, GIS activities around New York State, education and training opportunities, GIS tools, and helpful hints for GIS users and professionals. Bruce Oswald, chair of the New York GIS Coordinating Body, described the site as "low cost, low tech, low flash, but high on service and high on accessibility." The New York State Library hosts the Clearinghouse web site at http://www.nysgis.nysed.gov/gis.
State Department Presents Digital Map Expo
The State Department hosted its first Digital Map Expo on March 24. It featured displays from 10 federal agencies and 24 vendors demonstrating the latest in satellite-based remote sensing imagery, digital mapping and imagery technology, and GIS software. The theme of the exposition was how these revolutionary tools can help diplomats meet the international challenges of the next century. The event drew over 200 guests. Under Secretary for Management, Bonnie Cohen stressed her interest in working with other Federal agencies and the private sector in exploring the use of more abundant and affordable imagery data and GIS tools as part of a modernized information system that can support our international affairs and strategic goals.
News about NSDI Initiatives
OGRIP Joins Partnership Program
The Ohio Geographically Referenced Information Program Council (OGRIP) has become the 25th member of the FGDC's Cooperating Groups Partnership Program. The program recognizes statewide or regional councils or committees committed to improving geographic data coordination. This network of FGDC-recognized councils is an important link in the web of organizations working together to build the NSDI "from the ground up." OGRIP was established by Executive Order of the Governor of Ohio in 1993 to provide for the efficient collection, management, and use of digital geographically referenced data. It encourages the creation of digital geographic data that are valuable to multiple users, and fosters the ability to easily determine what geographic data exist and the ability to easily access and use these data. OGRIP is composed of a council and forum. Ronald Vidmar is its chair and Stuart Davis is the executive director. Further information about OGRIP and the other members of the Partnership Program can be found on the FGDC web site under cooperative partnerships.
The International City/County Management Association Recognized as NSDI Stakeholder
At its June meeting, the FGDC Steering Committee recognized the The International City/County Management Association (ICMA) as a stakeholder group in developing the NSDI. Founded in 1914, the International City/County Management Association is the professional and educational organization of more than 8,200 appointed administrators and assistant administrators serving cities, counties, other local governments, and regional entities around the world.
The purposes of ICMA are to enhance the quality of local government through professional management and to support and assist professional local government administration. To that end, the association provides technical assistance, training, management assistance, and publications to help local government professionals improve their skills and increase their knowledge. ICMA also serves as a clearinghouse for the collection, analysis and dissemination of information and data about local government. For more information see the ICMA web site at http://www.icma.org.
Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards Released
The Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards were endorsed by the FGDC in June. This is the first FGDC standards project to integrate standards for various data themes and applications. The Standards support the NSDI Framework by providing procedures and guidelines that enable integration, sharing, and use of data. The Standards consist of three parts: Reporting Methodology, Standards for Geodetic Networks, and the National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy. The document is available at the following web site: http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/documents/standards/accuracy/. More information about the standards can also be obtained from Julie Binder Maitra at firstname.lastname@example.com. Printed copies are available from ESIC, P.O. Box 25286, Denver, CO 80225.
Metadata Version 2.0 Released
The Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) Version 2.0 (FGDC-STD-001-1998) has been endorsed by the FGDC. The new version provides for the creation of metadata profiles, user-defined metadata extensions, metadata tags, and modifications to some metadata production rules. The CSDGM Version 2.0 supersedes Version 1, which was endorsed on June 8, 1994. Electronic copies of Version 2.0 can be obtained from the FGDC web site (http://www.fgdc.gov/metadata/contstan.html). Printed copies are available from the Earth Science Information Center (ESIC), P.O. Box 25286, Denver, CO 80225.
The FGDC has received permission from the American National Standards Institute National Committee for Information Technology Standards L1 Committee to perform an open review within the United States of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Metadata Standard Committee Draft. You can help the FGDC establish a position on the ISO Metadata Standard by registering with the FGDC to receive a copy of the draft to review and provide comments on. You are also invited to register to participate in the comment adjudication. The review began mid-July and is scheduled to be completed by mid-September.
Operational and Business Practices Workshop
More than 30 representatives from a variety of GIS projects across the country explored framework, organizational and businesses practices at a workshop in Annapolis in January. Participants completed a preworkshop survey that asked them for examples of business cases, a description of how each program is organized to perform framework functions, experiences and expertise they could share with their peers, issues they would like the workshop to address, and documents on their programs. The workshop discussion focused on motivating groups to participate in framework activities, organizational practices, and framework resources. The workshop report is available from the FGDC. The responses to the preworkshop surveys are included in the report and are also available on the FGDC web site at http://www.fgdc.gov/obp/home.htm.
Framework Road Data Model
Representatives from a variety of road framework projects met at a Road Data Model Workshop in December 1997. They compared their approaches and found them similar. Participants identified and discussed the elements of a road data model that would support framework activities. They agreed that the data model should be simple and provide the following functions: support multiple, current linear referencing systems, including street addresses; aid data maintenance and use; identify the geographic features being represented; and provide a means for users to attach applications data to framework data. The participants also identified a need for practical advice on implementing a model both in the field and in a GIS, and for a permanent identifier assignment method that is responsive to organizations' responsibilities and data flows. The workshop report is available from the FGDC framework web site. Following this workshop, a proposal to develop a draft NSDI Framework Road Data Model Standard was produced. The objective is to provide a logical data model for identifying unique road segments that are independent of cartographic or analytic network representation. These road segments will form the basis for sharing and transactionally updating the NSDI framework road data-bases.
The model is being processed under the classification of a data content standard; however, it also includes standards for assigning and reporting identification codes and voluntary guidelines for data collection. Any road databases submitted for inclusion in the NSDI transportation framework layer would conform to this standard.
The technical review team will look at the model in August and release a draft for general review and comment in the fall. While that review is occurring, the team will develop a prototype implementation. In the fall, the review comments and prototype results will be incorporated into the draft standard, which is scheduled to be released for formal review in January 1999. For more information, contact Bruce Spear at the U.S. Department of Transportation, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 202-366-8870 or email@example.com.
Through the FGDC Clearinghouse Gateway, there are now over 80 searchable metadata service nodes registered with the FGDC. These sites enable simultaneous search of spatial data holdings in the United States and several other countries. Approximately one-third of these nodes are U.S. Federal governmental organizations, one-third are state- sponsored sites, and the remainder are regional, local, and international partici-pating sites that use the same search protocol based on Z39.50.
Clearinghouse: What's in a Word?
The term "clearinghouse" is being used more and more in computer-based domains, and is being applied to many activities, including lists of data, web sites, and projects. Unfortunately, this broadening of the definition has resulted in some confusion about the NSDI Clearinghouse, making it difficult for prospective implementers and users to know what type of services to expect. The critical element of the NSDI Clearinghouse activity is the focus on distributed search of many locally held and managed spatial data and metadata collections, achieved through the use of common standards and accessible software solutions.
To address these terminology problems, the Clearinghouse Working Group will be exploring the development of an alternative name for the Clearinghouse. A more focused term, such as "Distributed Spatial Catalog" or "Global Search Capability," might help users and providers recognize the specific value and capabilities of the search component of the Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse activity will continue by name, but a clearer definition of its parts and expectations will be developed in the coming months.
Clearinghouse Implementers Workshop Planned for NSGIC
The one-day workshop to address Clearinghouse history, status, and technical directions for existing and prospective Clearinghouse implementers will be held in Annapolis, Maryland, September 11, 1998 immediately prior to the National States Geographic Council (NSGIC) meeting. A summary of the workshop topics will also be presented during a round-table session later during the NSGIC Conference. The workshop is free and open to all interested parties on a space-available basis. To register please contact Jennifer Fox of the FGDC Secretariat by email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or phone 703-648-5514.
FGDC now member of World-Wide Web Consortium The World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is a not-for-profit organization established two years ago to foster coordination and endorsement of specific Web technologies by all interested organizations. It is through efforts of the W3C that we have informal standards such as HTML that are adopted and implemented as common, rather than competing, standards. New Internet technologies are being designed, prototyped, and deployed within the W3C but are closed to general public participation. Through membership, the FGDC will act as a bridge between its member agencies and the W3C to assure that its standards and technologies are compatible. FGDC members interested in participating in the W3C activities on behalf of the FGDC should contact Doug Nebert (firstname.lastname@example.com) for more information.
Clearinghouse and the OpenGIS Consortium The FGDC Secretariat through Doug Nebert as Clearinghouse Coordinator, is leading a team of vendors and implementors in preparing a response to the OpenGIS Consortium (OGC) Catalog Services Specification Request For Proposals. FGDC is taking a coordination role in this activity to encourage development of OGC solutions that support Clearinghouse and are compatible with the meanings and structures of the FGDC and draft ISO metadata content standards. Through OGC standardization of catalog services, we anticipate increased vendor support and implementation of these essential NSDI concepts. Initial RFP responses from proposing teams will be forwarded to the OGC for consideration in November, 1998, with anticipated passage in early 1999 as a formal OGC implementation specification.

CLEVELAND -- A new camera will soon be up tracking drivers' speeds in Cleveland.
The city has sent notice that the new camera will be activated at 4500 Woodland Avenue. Drivers can start receiving speed warnings beginning March 8. Tickets based on the camera's information will be issued beginning March 21.
The speed camera was added following the removal of a camera in the 8800 block of Broadway in July 2011. The camera was redeployed at the request of city council.
WKYC's Investigator Tom Meyer has taken a hard look at the city's traffic cam program and whether it has been effective in making the roads safer. You can read Tom Meyer's investigation on wkyc.com: http://on.wkyc.com/InvestigatorTrafficCams

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Secret Service is urging U.S. lawmakers to do more to prevent the types of cyber thefts of consumer information that recently have hit Target Corp and other major retailers.
"Legislative action could help to improve the nation's cybersecurity, reduce regulatory costs on U.S. companies, and strengthen law enforcement's ability to conduct effective investigations," said William Noonan, a top agent with the Secret Service's cyber operations branch.
Noonan testified at a Senate Banking subcommittee hearing on safeguarding consumer financial data, the first of a series of panels scheduled this week in response to the Target breach and other incidents.
Target, the No. 3 U.S. retailer, was hit by a massive cyber theft over the holiday shopping period. Some 40 million credit and debit card records were stolen, along with 70 million other records with customer information such as addresses and telephone numbers.
While the Secret Service has been the lead player in the Target investigation, Noonan discussed its information-sharing efforts on cyber crime with other federal agencies as well as international law enforcement bodies such as Interpol.
Noonan focused on the transnational nature of cyber crimes, including "network intrusions, hacking attacks, malicious software, and account takeovers leading to significant data breaches affecting every sector of the world economy."
"The recently reported data breaches of Target and Neiman Marcus are just the most recent, well-publicized examples of this decade-long trend," Noonan said.
Luxury department store operator Neiman Marcus in late January said that about 1.1 million customer payment cards may have been exposed during a data breach that occurred from July 16 to October 30 last year.
Congress has been wrestling for years with proposals for legislation on data security, but has been unable to reach agreement. There is, for example, no national standard to govern how and when businesses that suffer consumer data breaches much advise their customers and federal agencies.
On Tuesday senior officials from Target and Neiman Marcus are scheduled to testify at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about recent data breaches.
(Reuters) – A credit card data breach has been detected that exposed guests at certain Marriott, Holiday Inn, Sheraton and other hotel properties to theft, hotel management firm White Lodging Services Corp said on Monday.
The breach occurred at food and beverage outlets at 14 hotels, including some operated under the Westin, Renaissance and Radisson names, between March 20 and December 16 last year, White Lodging said in a statement.
The company said information subject to potential theft by cyber criminals included names and numbers on consumers' debit or credit cards, security codes and card expiration dates.
Customers who used their cards at the affected outlets should review all statements from the time in question and consider placing fraud alerts on their credit files, White Lodging said.
White Lodging would not estimate how many card numbers might have been taken. Krebs on Security, the cybersecurity blog that first reported the breach on Friday, said thousands of accounts had been compromised.
The latest data breach comes after the FBI warned retailers last month to prepare for more cyber attacks after discovering about 20 hacking cases in the past year involving the same kind of malicious software used against Target Corp over the holiday shopping season.
The incident involving Target, the No. 3 U.S. retailer, was one of the biggest retail cyber attacks in history.
In a confidential, three-page report to retail companies the FBI described the risks posed by "memory-parsing" malware that infects point-of-sale (POS) systems, which include cash registers and credit-card swiping machines in checkout aisles.
Restaurants and lounges affected by the White Lodging breach were at hotels in Chicago; Austin, Texas; Richmond, Virginia; Plantation, Florida; Denver, Boulder and Broomfield, Colorado; Louisville, Kentucky; Erie, Pennsylvania; and Indianapolis and Merrillville, Indiana, the company said.
White Lodging, which manages 169 hotels that include brands of Marriott International, Starwood Hotels and Resorts and InterContinental Hotels Group, said it planned to offer affected consumers one year of identity protection services.
The company, based in Merrillville, Indiana, said it notified federal authorities of the suspected breach and had begun a review of other properties it manages.
A spokeswoman for White Lodging declined to comment beyond the company's statement.
Marriott said one of its franchise management companies had "unusual fraud patterns" with payment systems, according to a statement from spokesman Jeff Flaherty. He added that Marriott was working with the company in the probe.
"Because the suspected breach did not impact any systems that Marriott owns or controls, we do not have additional information to provide," Flaherty added.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Target Corp, which suffered a massive data breach during the holiday shopping season, is speeding up a $100 million program to implement the use of chip-enabled smart cards to protect against cyber theft, a senior company executive said.
In an opinion piece on Monday in the Hill newspaper on the eve of his much-awaited appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chief Financial Officer John Mulligan said the retailer's goal was to have the technology in place by early 2015, more than six months ahead of schedule.
The adoption of such chip-enabled cards would be "one step American businesses could now take that would dramatically improve the security of all credit and debit cards," Mulligan wrote.
He said the United States had been slow to develop the technology, which was already in wide use in other parts of the world.
The enhanced smart cards contain tiny microprocessor chips that encrypt personal data shared with sales terminals used by merchants. Stolen smart card numbers would be useless without the chip, Mulligan said.
He noted that Target, the No. 3 U.S. retailer, had been working for years to adopt the technology.
"Since the breach, we are accelerating our own $100 million investment to put chip-enabled technology in place. Our goal: implement this technology in our stores and on our proprietary REDcards by early 2015, more than six months ahead of our previous plan."
Mulligan said requiring the use of four-digit personal identification numbers to complete sales transactions would provide additional safety.
"To be frank, there is no consensus across the business community on the use of PINs in conjunction with chip-enabled cards," Mulligan wrote. "But Target supports the goal and will work toward adoption of the practice in our own stores and more widely."
In the cyber theft that hit Target, some 40 million credit and debit card records were stolen, along with 70 million other records with customer information such as addresses and telephone numbers.
Luxury retailer Neiman Marcus has also disclosed a data breach that compromised data from about 1.1 million cards. Michaels Stores Inc, the biggest U.S. arts and crafts retailer, said it was investigating a possible security breach on its payment card network
"The data breach that struck our company spotlighted the sophistication of criminal hacker networks operating across the globe," Mulligan wrote. "We know the attack created significant concerns for millions of customers. We will learn from this incident and we will work to make Target, and the wider business community, more secure in the future."

Former School District employee pleads guilty to fraud
Published: Thursday, May 16, 2013 at 10:50 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 16, 2013 at 10:50 a.m.
A veteran employee of the Marion County School District pleaded guilty to fraud on Thursday, which could put her behind bars for up to five years.
Brandy Renee Guynn, 39, is charged with third-degree organized fraud for taking a total of $15,758.07 between July 1 and Sept. 21, 2012. At the time, she worked downtown at the district office in the finance department. In her capacity she received money from various school collections, including fitness and instructional classes and employee services.
On Oct. 5, police responded to an embezzlement complaint at the office. Guynn's supervisor had noticed a discrepancy in her work; later, at the superintendant's request, an independent audit was conducted.
The audit showed that when Guynn received payments, she would deposit the checks but not the cash. Certain receipts also were missing.
According to court records, Guynn had been "flagged" for a July incident after a discrepancy was found relating to an account she had managed. Guynn was arrested on Oct. 17.
Guynn's attorney, Carrie Proctor, asked Circuit Judge Hale Stancil to sentence her client to four years of probation, given that Guynn had no prior run-ins with the law.
"I'll consider the good things you've done. I'll also consider the bad things you've done," Stancil said. He said Guynn would probably be sentenced, at a later date, to probation and some time in jail.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Michigan State Youth Soccer Association (MSYSA) defines specific rules for soccer age groups. RPYSC, an affilliate of MSYSA through our league association is required to strictly follow these rules.
MSYSA defines the age group that a player is eligible to participate in based on a player's age as of July 31st. The player's age on that date determines the age group they may register for in the following fall season. For example if you were born between 8-1-2002 and 7-31-2003 you would be eligible to play on a U8 team for the fall 2010 season.
MSYSA rules do not allow a player to play-down. For example a player eligible for a U10 age group cannot play on a U8 age group team under any circumstances. No exceptions can be made for players who in the opinion of their parents need more development. We have inexperienced or relatively new players in all rec age groups.
Depending on the league (rec or select), players may be eligible to play-up a maximum of 2 years above their age group. Please discuss this with your coach and/or the club before making a request so that we can consider appropriate team assignments. Potential select players may indicate their interest in playing up on a select tryout form and participate in tryouts for more than one age group.
All area youth are welcome to play on RPYSC recreation level teams and tryout for RPYSC select teams.
Our name reflects our geographical location and follows a precedent set by many area soccer clubs. However we are a volunteer run organization independant of the Reeths-Puffer School District.
Although many players attend Reeths-Puffer schools simply because of our location, we have a signficant number of players from surrounding areas. We are one of the largest (if not the largest) youth soccer club on the lakeshore with outstanding field space for team practice and games.
Select (or travel) soccer is an opportunity for recreational soccer players to continue the growth of their soccers skills in an increasingly competitive environment while still placing an emphasis on development. As the name implies, players are selected annually for teams based on the abilities they demonstrate in structured try-outs. Try-outs are scheduled in June for teams expecting to start play in the fall. All players try-out every year regardless of whether they have played on a select team before.
Select teams typically travel farther than recreation level teams. The GVSA league area is larger than the GLCSL area. Select teams are also likely to register for one or more tournaments which may require travel outside of our normal playing area (possibly requiring overnight stays).
U6 and U8 use a size 3 ball
U10 and U12 use a size 4 ball
U13 and above use a size 5 ball
Players are required to wear shin guards for all practices and games. Other equipment that is recommended:
- Black shorts
- Black soccer socks
- Soccer cleats (or tennis shoes)
- Ball - see our faq for appropriate sizes
- Jersey for U10 and up (jersey's are provided for U6 and U8)
- Water bottle for practice and games
During the summer of 2012 we will be making a significant investment in our home soccer fields next to RP Middle School. Work starts in June after the rec and select soccer seasons complete.
We will be filling and grading the drainage ditch. Fields will be graded, seeded and a regular grass maintenance program will be implemented. This will give us the flexibility to introduce a new field layout for the fall 2012 season.
We are also exploring ideas to improve access to the fields for visitors of all abilities.
Recently completed projects include:
- Addition added to the concession stand for more storage.
- Improvements to the concession stand in order to meet health department code.
- Purchase of trailer for field maintenance.
- Purchase of a hot dog steamer.
- Purchase of new U6 goals.
Coaches met on March 19th to get their spring 2012 team assignments and select practice times. All registered players will be contacted by their coaches to communicate practice times.
The first games will begin April 14th and will continue through May 19th.
GLCSL Tournaments for U10 and older rec players will begin May 20th and finish with finals on June 2nd.
Practices are held at our home field location on the fields behind Reeth-Puffer Central Elementary School, 1911 W Giles Rd.
See our field directions for more detailed information.
Individual coaches determine exactly when their practice times will occur.
Practices are usually an hour long on two evenings per week; either Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday.
Practices are scheduled for 5:30-6:30pm or 6:30- 7:30pm.
Please refer to our practice schedule for more information.
RPYSC is run exclusively by volunteers. In order to have another successful soccer season and to keep our registration prices as low as possible, we are asking each family to volunteer a small portion of their time. Please sign-up at the concession stand to help out.
We are always in need of volunteers. We currently have 750 registered players and that makes for a lot of work.
We need coaches and assistant coaches for all levels.
We need concession stand volunteers; we suggest volunteering one hour before or after your child's game.
We need people for field maintenance; this primarily involves lining the fields. This is a HUGE job with 10 fields to paint throughout the season; again an hour of your time during your child's practice would be a great help!
If you're not sure what to do, that's not a problem. We can team you up with someone who has experience in the concession stand, lining the fields or coaching. Just ask. The more people who volunteer the easier the tasks are for everyone.
All players will be required to wear a RP green jersey for the Spring 2011 season.
Our U6 & U8 players will be wearing team t-shirts and the cost of the t-shirts is included in the registration fee.
Laketon Soccer is now Reeths-Puffer Youth Soccer Club. This change better aligns us with the names used by other area soccer clubs. Although we are not formally part of the school district, 85% of our players are from the Reeths-Puffer.
Other soccer clubs in our area reflect the school districts from which most of their children attend. In keeping with that precedence we decided to change our name. Laketon Soccer is now Reeths-Puffer Youth Soccer Club. We are not formally part of the school district, however 85% of our players are from the Reeths-Puffer.
We continue to welcome new and existing players and coaches from other districts. Many will continue to play on the teams they have been participating in for years.

Editor's Note: This profile of one of our Home of the Year winners originally ran in May of 2012. We're highlighting past winners in anticipation of the May 2013 release of the new Home of the Year winners. You'll want to check back in May, because the new winners are awesome.
The goal of this built-from-scratch theater was to create something visually unique, while fitting into the rest of the 12,000-square-foot house. "We wanted it to really stand out, but not so much that it didn't feel like it belonged," explains Jeremy Arding of Definitive Sound in Mississauga, Ont. His team of custom electronics pros accomplished this by crafting huge, sweeping arches similar to the ironwork that had been incorporated onto the exterior of the home's garage doors. A black-and-silver color scheme, meanwhile, mirrored the clean, modern aesthetic of the home's overall design.
But this 26-by-20-foot space is more than just a pretty face. It's a carefully constructed and calibrated room comprised of special materials and top-notch equipment that allow it to function beautifully as both a commercial-grade home theater and a lecture hall for the owners' business presentations.
Positioned behind the fabric and brushed stainless steel walls are clips and materials that allow the room to "float." Explains Arding: "None of the walls or the ceiling or floor touches the walls, ceiling or floors of adjacent rooms." This construction technique isolates the room acoustically so that no sound from it escapes into other areas. The owners can crank their 9.2-channel B&W surround-sound speakers as loudly as they want without disturbing activities that may be taking place elsewhere in the house. Black fabric wall panels ensure that the isolated audio comes through pure and pristine—that movie dialogue is clear, effects are realistic and everyone, no matter where they are seated, hears the soundtrack as the movie director meant it to be heard.
As is the case with most theater designs, the more ornate the room is, the more difficult it can be for the surround-sound system to stay true to its roots. Definitive Sound tackled this issue by having each of the 55 fabric acoustical wall panels individually designed and cut by the manufacturer, Kinetics Noise Control. "We sent Kinetics our calculations, and they customized each panel to spec," says Arding. Each of the nine B&W speakers and two subwoofers were tucked behind the paneling, which incorporates fabric designed to allow the sound to pass through cleanly into the room. The speakers and subs are driven by Rotel processors and amplifiers, which are stowed, along with a Samsung Blu-ray Disc player, high-def cable box and APC surge protector, in a Middle Atlantic equipment rack in a mechanical room. With the speakers and gear hidden, the only noticeable technology in the theater is the 165-inch CinemaScope screen from Stewart Filmscreen and the gun-metal gray Lumis three-chip DLP video projector from Sim2. The screen and projector are optimized for movie viewing, but function equally well for PowerPoint presentations. The owner simply touches the presentation icon displayed on the screen of his portable Crestron touchpanel to adjust the lens of the projector, brighten the LED light fixtures and disable the surround-sound system. "Audio for presentations sounds better when it comes through all speakers as one channel, without surround-sound effects," says Arding. When the meeting is over, the owner can shift the space back to its original movie setting with a single touch on the Crestron controller.

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Clippers had a mini skid
following their franchise-record winning streak, but Chris Paul helped them
rediscover their winning ways against their in-city rivals.
Paul tallied 30 points, including his team's last eight, 13 assists and six
rebounds in the Clippers' 107-102 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Blake Griffin added 24 points for the Clippers, who snapped a brief two-game
slide on the heels of their record-setting 17-game stretch.
Kobe Bryant poured in 38 points for the Lakers, who have dropped three of
their last four contests following a five-game winning streak.

Spain capped off an historic sporting year this weekend when it captured the Davis Cup championship, its third ('00, '04) in the last eight years, upsetting a favored Argentina on their home soil.
Fernando Verdasco lived out his dream when he clinched the deciding rubber over Jose Acasuso 6-3, 6-7(3), 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 after giving Spain a 2-1 lead going into Sunday by teaming up with Feliciano Lopez to defeat Agustin Calleri and David Nalbandian in doubles on Saturday. It was Spain's first win on foreign soil and Argentina's first-ever Davis Cup loss at home.
Rafael Nadal was quick to congratulate his compatriots on their exciting win telling state television:
These are unforgettable moments. We need to stress that they've made history. It's an unforgettable victory. I don't think it's possible to be any happier.In addition to the Davis Cup championship, Spain can boast the world's top tennis baller in Rafa who captured a fourth straight Roland Garros title, a Wimbledon crown, and an Olympic gold medal in Beijing; a European Championship in football/soccer after a 44-year drought and lead in the FIFA world rankings; and the Tour de France championship won by Carlos Sastre in July.
Not too shabby, eh?

WHY is Rafa not there to support his friends??? He's too busy playing, er, hide the racquet with Xisca in.. where again?ReplyDelete
Sigh. I love white shorts. Felo!!!! Cute!
Congrats Spain! Man, they must have done something right in the 80's to produce such great sportsmen, donchathink?
Babz--I was just thinking it's so wrong without Rafa there! ;) But...it's also good they can win without him, even though some of us can't live without him! btw, hide the racquet? my favorite game. ;)ReplyDelete
You know what I find odd? There is blue & white confetti. Was Argentina a little overconfident? They should have had blue & white if they won, and a neutral color if they didn't want to have red on hand if Spain won. Say, just drop the white confetti. I think it's a little disrespectful.
There was a story that came out the week before the finals that Emilio Sanchez didn't want Rafa there because he thought he would be too much of a distraction. I thought that was pretty odd, and kind of lame.ReplyDelete

I thought Sanchez' comments a bit out of place and rude, too, especially since Ana I was supposedly traveling to Argentina-- another big "distraction" IMO. Seems like she wasn't there either, so maybe someone put a word in someone's ear. Anyway, I did feel a little sad during the shots of the Spain bench and celebrations, not seeing Nadal there.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 24, 2008 at 6:04 PM
Turned out Sanchez was right - Rafa not being there to attract media feeding-frenzy helped other boys to better concentrate on themselves and their game.ReplyDelete
BTW, Rafa needed therapy for his knee. He even took his physio with him to his week-long vacation on Mauritius, for regular massage and icing. This would not have been possible sitting all day on the bench in Argentina, cheering on his mates.
A perfect way to close the year. Congrats to Spain...<3ReplyDelete

Natch, I think Argentina was a bit overconfident. That white and blue confetti contrasting with the color of the Spaniards' uniform look ridiculous. Many people speculate that they didn't take the doubles match into account, because they were confident they'd be 2-0 on Friday.ReplyDelete
I wanted Nadal to play DC, but I'm happy these guys, who'll probably never achieve what Nadal has, were able to win without him.
we are sisters from another mother. What would we give to play that game with Rafa?
natch + babz: you'd have to get through xisca first, and that girl would CUT you!!!ReplyDelete
Rich - pish posh. I can break that skinny girl in two. She didn't give me the boots, now I go after Rafa. ;)ReplyDelete
So happy for Spain!! What an exciting deciding match - Tabasco took me on an emotional roller coaster ride and I loved every second of it! And how cute was it that Rafa was basically standing by to congratulate his teammates (and friends)?? ...his comments were posted online almost instantaneously. You def get the sense they are such a close-knit team :)ReplyDelete
Rich did you see any of Spain's TV coverage? I needed me some Rafa so I went logged onto www. rtve.es and found some adorable clips of him congratulating the team. There's also a bunch of clips of Spain celebrating, etc. I don't even speak Spanish but I was soaking it up. Check out how HOT Rafa looks in this one:
You are sooooooo missed, Rafa...
babz: ahhh the boots, yes. well you know where you can shove those now. rafa is at your mercy.ReplyDelete
johanne: hey thanks for the links! i'm on a bit of vacation so posting will be slow. feel free to post links to more DC/Rafa partying here since i prob won't be posting tons this week.ReplyDelete
Rich, please do enjoy your vacation. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!ReplyDelete
To my fellow Rafa/Spanish tennis fans - here's some clips of the whole Davis Cup extravaganza, if interested:
Rafa congratulates Feli on the phone (too cute):
Locker room celebration (featuring a few shirtless men):
The moment they won (featuring a very hot shirtless Feli at 2:02):
Interview with the entire team:
>>natch + babz: you'd have to get through xisca first, and that girl would CUT you!!!<<ReplyDelete
That where you come into play. You must go with us to Spain, pretend you're straight and lure Xisca away for a brief moment. We can take it from there, and save you some for when you dump her a$$. Or better yet, convince her to be the videographer. If she knows what's good for her, she'll share.
Will you marry me? ;)
Rafa on the phone....you both completed me.
I would give up attending US Opens for the next 10 years...
I would donate all the blood in my body (but save just enough to perform certain *acts*) to the Red Cross...
I would give Rich's left testicle to play htr with Rafa.
natch: who's gay? oh, and it's a good thing i have a spare testi - do what you will with the extra. you have my blessing (and my testi's too.)ReplyDelete

With 1 week to go, Sanford subject of attacks
CHARLESTON, S.C. Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford can't seem to escape attacks on the extramarital affair that derailed his political career, which he hopes to revive in a special congressional election that is now a week away.
For months, his Democratic opponent, Elizabeth Colbert Busch, refused to criticize Sanford's affair - which was uncovered during his term as governor when he visited his then-mistress in Argentina under the guise of hiking the Appalachian Trail. Sanford seldom found himself on the defensive this spring, instead focusing on a message of redemption and seeking voters' forgiveness.
But Colbert Busch in recent days has been airing an ad blasting him for lying to the people of the state, and she criticized him during a debate at The Citadel on Monday for using taxpayer funds to "leave the country for a personal purpose." Sanford didn't respond.
On Tuesday, Colbert Busch, the sister of political satirist Stephen Colbert, stood by the criticism.
"We're just talking about the facts. We're just talking about the differences between the two," Colbert Busch said when asked about the change in strategy after speaking to an AACP group in Goose Creek. "We're talking about policy and we're talking about how differently we would lead."
The attacks came even as Sanford, a Republican, picked up the endorsement of U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, a tea party favorite who is considering a presidential run.
A new television ad from the House Majority PAC that went up Tuesday tells voters not to cast their ballots for Sanford, a man the Democratic super PAC says has values that are not those of Republicans. And a billboard on an interstate near Columbia - outside the 1st Congressional District where Sanford is running - uses Sanford's photo to advertise a website where people can meet partners for extramarital affairs.
Colbert Busch's campaign ad says she worked to provide trained workers for the Boeing plant in North Charleston and that Sanford knew it. The ad came after an earlier Sanford ad questioned her claim she "worked with Boeing."
"It's the same Mark Sanford who used tax dollars to visit his mistress in Argentina," the Colbert Busch ad says. "He disappeared for a week leaving no one in charge. He betrayed all who trusted in him and then lied to cover it up."
Before leaving office, Sanford avoided impeachment but was censured by the Legislature over state travel expenses he used for the affair. He also paid the largest ethics fine ever in South Carolina, $70,000.
Sanford did not respond directly to the new attacks or the billboard.
The ad from the House Majority PAC shows a woman who claims she is a lifelong Republican saying she could not vote for Sanford.
"I used to be for Mark Sanford but not anymore. He skipped town to be with his mistress on Father's Day. Sanford even asked his wife for permission to have the affair and wasted our taxpayer dollars on himself. I'm a Republican, but Mark Sanford just does not share our values," says the woman, Jennifer Stark of Mount Pleasant.
Sanford and his wife Jenny have divorced, and the ex-governor is now engaged to his former mistress, Maria Belen Chapur, who even appeared at his victory speech after the GOP primary runoff.
In April, Jenny Sanford accused him in a court complaint of repeatedly trespassing in her home. The revelation prompted the National Republican Congressional Committee to pull its support from Sanford's campaign. Sanford has said he went there because he didn't want his 14-year-old son to have to watch the Super Bowl alone.

Summer Wines to Pair With BBQs and Warm Weather
By Ian White on July 07, 2011 3:00 PM
Summer is here and if you're anything like me, you'll be spending most of your time at BBQs and hanging outdoors by pools, rivers and cool waters. But what wine to bring? Everyone's tastes are different so there's no right answer, but here are some of my favorites, a few summer-safe varietals and the top picks of a local expert:

Stewart Components WHO-10 - Stewart Components In-Line Electric Water Pumps
Stewart Components In-Line Electric Water Pumps
Stewart Components has developed in-line electric water pumps with unique features and benefits. Weighing less than 5 pounds and measuring 6'' long with a 4-1/4'' diameter, these pumps have
single speed flow up to 55 GPM.
The electronic control box can be mounted remotely using the prefabricated harnesses sold separately. The pumps can be used alone in many applications or as a booster pump for vehicles that experience overheating problems in low RPM situations.
Because mechanical water pump speed is directly linked to engine RPM, overheating can become a major problem while in parades, cruises, or stop-and-go traffic. An in-line booster pump solves this problem by working with the mechanical pump to create constant added flow to the engine block. These pumps have been proven to increase flow by more than 300% at idle.
Lightweight Polymer with 1-1/4'' or 1-3/4'' slip-on inlet/outlet ports
