Dolby Digital Live allows you to connect a PC or game console to your home theater using a single connection and enjoy the benefits of surround sound.
Dolby® Digital Live provides a better overall game experience by immersing you in 5.1-channel surround sound to match your game play.
Optimized for low-latency interactive applications, Dolby Digital Live is ideally suited for games because it does not introduce any perceptible delays between video and audio.
Dolby Digital Live transforms PC audio signals into Dolby Digital, the audio backbone for home networks. This enables playback in the millions of home theater systems equipped with Dolby Digital.
By using a single digital connection, Dolby Digital Live ensures the integrity of the audio signal and eliminates the confusion, hassle, and clutter of multiple analog and digital connections.
The best gaming experiences
make you feel like you're not merely playing the game but a part of the game. Dolby
Digital Live makes achieving this feeling easier than ever by enabling real-time
playback of game audio through a 5.1-channel home theater system. With Dolby
Digital Live, sounds surround you and the audio details of the game come to
Dolby Digital Live works
inside your PC or game console while you play, encoding the 5.1-channel audio in
the game's audio engine into a Dolby Digital output bitstream. This makes the
audio compatible with all Dolby Digital 5.1 playback systems, including A/V
receivers, home-theater-in-a-box (HTiB) systems, and integrated 5.1 speaker
systems. It also makes connecting your PC or game console to your home theater easy.
All you need is a single S/PDIF connector.
The real-time interactive
capabilities of Dolby Digital Live make it ideally suited for games. It reproduces
audio cues and effects that remain faithful to the game developer's sound
design, and it does so without introducing perceptible delays between the
action onscreen and the sound coming from your speakers.
Dolby Digital audio coding divides
the audio spectrum of each channel into narrow frequency bands optimized for the
frequency selectivity of human hearing. Coding noise can stay very close in
frequency to, and be masked by, the frequency components of the audio signal.
The Dolby Digital algorithm
analyzes how the available bits are distributed among channels from a common
bit pool. Channels with greater frequency content can demand more data than
sparsely occupied channels, for example, or strong sounds in one channel can provide
masking for noise in other channels.
Dolby Digital coding can
process at least 20-bit dynamic range digital audio signals over a frequency
range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. (The Low-Frequency Effects [LFE channel] covers 20 to
120 Hz.) Sampling rates of 32, 44.1, and 48 kHz are supported. Data rates for
5.1 channels include the 448 kbps standard for DVD-Video.
Dolby Digital delivers up to 5.1 discrete channels of high-quality surround sound for digital television, DVDs, and online streaming.

Richmond Post-race Recap
Posted by: lori on Sep 09, 2012
Tagged in: Untagged
Richmond, VA (September 8, 2012) – Casey Mears and the Germain Racing team looked to rebound in Richmond after falling victim to a non-team related issue in Atlanta a week earlier that ended their day prematurely. At the same time, something greater awaits the GEICO team when they venture to Chicago next weekend for the GEICO 400, a once-a-year entitlement sponsorship that finds the insurance giant taking over one of the nation's largest cities.
Mears and his Germain Racing counterparts would need to first deal with Richmond before moving on to the Windy City. It seemed as though things were headed in the right direction in the opening NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice session when Mears and his #13 GEICO Ford Fusion landed 22nd on the speed chart. Changes to the set-up between practice sessions did not sit well with the GEICO machine and Mears later rested 43rd on the board in final practice, and ultimately qualified 42nd for the Federated Auto Parts 400.
If rainy days and race delays always get you down, then Richmond International Raceway was not the place for you on Saturday evening. The blue skies and sunshine that filled the Richmond area on Saturday afternoon would later be betrayed by a storm front that dumped heavy rain on the ¾-mile tri-oval just hours before the green flag was scheduled to fly.
Once the track was dry and racing action got underway, Mears and the #13 GEICO Fusion made quick work of the field, marching from 42nd to 38th before the completion of the opening lap. 26 laps later saw him eleven positions to the good, in 31st, when he reported to crew chief Bootie Barker that he was in a tussle with an ill-handling racecar. The scheduled competition caution on lap 45 gave Mears the opportunity to take a much-needed trip down pit road. Aside from providing the GEICO Fusion with four fresh tires, fuel and adjustments, the Germain Racing pit crew turned in a stellar stop and ultimately helped Mears gain two positions on pit road.
Even with adjustments handed down from his crew, Mears still struggled to wheel his #13 GEICO Fusion around the racetrack. On lap 65, Mears reported, "It doesn't turn any better. It's a lot looser in and looser off. Terrible in the center." His battle would not be short-lived and would instead plague him for the balance of the evening. Undaunted, Mears and his GEICO team had climbed to the 23rd position before rain once again delivered a heavy blow to the Richmond area. What ensued was a red flag that lasted 51 minutes and 45 seconds, pushing the race even later into the evening.
With the exception of a single lap just past the halfway point of the race where Mears turned his fastest lap of the evening and voiced his approval of the feel of the car, the late night saw more of the same for the GEICO team. Mears struggled, the team worked hard and, in the end, they managed to salvage a 29th place finish when the checkered flag halted the field in the early morning hours.
"This sport can be so frustrating at times and when you have nights like this it can really get the best of you, but we've always been resilient and no one on this GEICO team is hanging their head," Mears stated. "We've come a long way and worked really hard to get here and we know what's in the heart of this team, so minor bumps in the road don't get us down. If anything, it inspires us. We have a great, committed sponsor and team owner in GEICO and Bob Germain, so it gives us motivation knowing their level of commitment and belief. We recently received some great news and we'll be releasing it this week sometime. Focus and perspective are key and we have both." He added, "Obviously, we're excited to get to Chicago next weekend for the GEICO 400. We truly have the best sponsor in auto racing and it's exciting to see all the ways GEICO supports NASCAR as a whole and cares about the health of the sport. We're proud to have them as a partner."
Next week, the Germain Racing team will arrive in Chicago where they will see their sponsor's name highly visible all over the grounds of the speedway. Along with the #13 GEICO Fusion, fans will see giant inflatable Geckos, an expansive GEICO display area in the midway and several opportunities to meet Casey Mears at scheduled autograph signings.
Mears and the #13 GEICO Ford Fusion will hit the track at Chicagoland Speedway for the opening practice session on Friday, September 14th, at 1:00 PM (EDT). Qualifying will follow on Saturday, September 15th, at 1:40 PM (EDT).
The GEICO 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race is on Sunday, September 16th, and it will be televised live on ESPN beginning at 1:00 PM (EDT). The Motor Racing Network (MRN) will carry the live radio broadcast.

|4G service offered for higher speed
|Written by Dan Barker, Fort Morgan Times
4G service is now available to Viaero Wireless customers. That means faster cell phone data, faster Internet access and the ability to use more powerful computer programs—whether on a "smart phone" or a computer, said Mike Felicissimo, executive vice president of Viaero.
This 4G service is up to 30 times faster than Viaero's former service, and it means instant access to any website no matter where the customer is at the time, he said. Whether at home, or on the road, the service is available.
This kind of service had a "soft" launch in early September, and current customers love it, Felicissimo said. The network covers all six Northeast Colorado counties that made up the original license area for Viaero: Morgan, Logan, Washington, Yuma, Phillips and Sedgwick counties.
It does not just cover the cities in the area, but all areas outside cities and the roads in between, he said.
Especially exciting is that Viaero did not raise its prices despite the millions of dollars invested in upgrading the infrastructure to make 4G possible, Felicissimo said.
Viaero is not leaving out existing customers, he emphasized.
Normally, customers have to wait a certain number of months to get a new contract and a bargain on new phones, but not in this case, Felicissimo noted.
Users must have phones that support 4G to get the faster data, and Viaero is offering special deals to help them buy new phones, he said.
One of the main goals for Viaero is to offer customers a "city-like" experience for those who live in the country, Felicissimo said.
It was worth the millions spent on the upgrade, because it fit the mission of bringing excellent service to rural America, he said. Viaero is committed to rural markets. The company touts its local staff and customer service.
Another goal is to provide the fastest service possible, bringing a real jump in access to the area.
That makes a real difference, because top-speed service also boosts economic development, he said.

Our non-resident party of three are so disappointed we did not get drawn for antelope in WY. Trying to figure out what went wrong so can do better next year....We studied Eastman's info and WY info on points needed, special draw, & made applications on March 11, Area 63....I believe the "tentative" quotas on website then was still 400 for 63-1 and 200 for 63-2. Now, I see that final was changed to 100 for 63-1 and 200 for 63-2.
Did the quota change in the 4 days left in application period, or is final quota changed at some date after application period closed? If the latter, how could we have got a "heads-up" that the tags would be reduced this drastically...I try to read the Eastman's info.
Thanks folks for any help...I want to be sure I take my son antelope hunting in 2014...we had a great hunt in Area 63 in 2011.

'Operation Grinch' nabs 12 parole violators | Crime
SACRAMENTO, CA - A team of local officers arrested 12 parole violators Wednesday during "Operation Grinch."
Nearly 30 officers from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, U.S. Marshals, FBI, and local law enforcement agencies split into four teams and went door-to-door in Sacramento looking for violators.
"We are focusing on all parole[e]s, mainly parole[e]s at large, people who haven't reported, maybe have committed a new crime and have a warrant in the system," said Alex Hoang, a CDC parole officer.
During the first sting operation of the day, officers arrested a parole violator after about 30 minutes of trying to talk him out.
"It's rare we get somebody at the first one unless we have good information like this morning," said Hoang.
Teams moved on to other residences throughout the day. Many of the locations came up empty.
"The subject is not there," CDC Special Agent Gary Williams said outside of one house. "They're trying to gather information and interviewing the homeowner now for any possible information as to any possible location where he's located."
In this case, the information was good, as the team found the parole violator at a house several miles down the road.
"This is very important," said Hoang, "Parole is working hard to keep the public safe, to get these parolees at large under compliance."
Parole officers say the holiday season is a good time for an operation like this because they believe violators are more likely to stick around their families around Christmas, making it easier for officers to find who they are looking for.

Campagnolo Record Ultra Narrow HD-Link Kit $0.00
If you crack your Record chain to clean it, you can't just pop a pin into it. Rather, you must install a brand new HD-L Link, which consists of a fresh pin and a new link. It's a precise procedure and the link itself isn't cheap, which is why it's always easier to clean your Campy chain while it's still attached to the bike. But for those special occassions -- when your chain's gotta look like a million bucks -- a link kit is a must-have.

A proposed ban on smoking at Wrightsville Beach has some wondering if officials in Eastern Carolina could consider the same thing for beaches here.
Wrightsville Beach officials voted on that proposed ban Thursday night and rejected it by a vote of 3-2.
Emerald Isle Town Manager Frank Rush says, "A smoking ban on beaches is not something the board of commissioners has considered in the past and it's nothing we've contemplated at the staff level."
Atlantic Beach Police Major Jeff Harvey says enforcement would be a challenge. "Particularly here, we have five miles of beach front. So at any given time we have a handful of officers that are primarily tied up with the road."
While smoking bans aren't something beach goers will have to worry about along the Crystal Coast, parking fees are. Holiday and weekend parking rates go into effect Good Friday in Emerald Isle and mid-May for Atlantic Beach.

Ampullary cancer, or ampullary carcinoma, is a life-threatening cancer that forms in a body part called the ampulla of Vater. The ampulla of Vater is a small opening that enters into the first portion of the small intestine, known as the duodenum. The ampulla of Vater is the spot where the pancreatic and bile ducts release their secretions into the intestines.
Ampullary cancer is a fairly rare form of cancer. In fact, fewer than one percent of cancers related to the gastrointestinal tract are ampullary cancer.
True ampullary cancers originate in the ampulla of Vater. They are often confused with periampullary cancers, which originate in the pancreas, bile duct, or intestines close to the ampulla of Vater. In general, cancers that are ampullary have a better survival rate than periampullary cancers.
Jaundice is the most common symptom of ampullary cancer. This is because the tumor in the ampulla of Vater blocks the bile duct. Instead of flowing into the intestines, the bile enters the bloodstream and causes yellowing of the skin. Other symptoms of ampullary cancer include:
Progressive weight loss
Abdominal (belly) pain
Back pain
Pruritus, or skin itchiness, associated with the jaundice
Stomach upset and vomiting
Loss of appetite
Gastrointestinal bleeding
Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas)
Pale, greasy stools
Because jaundice is the most common symptom of ampullary cancer, this is the physical symptom that will lead doctors to look for ampullary cancer as a possibility. Tests that doctors will do to determine if ampullary cancer is the cause may include blood tests and urine tests to look for markers of the cancer.
Doctors may use specific scans to look for the presence of a tumor inside the ampulla of Vater. These may be ultrasounds, or CT or MRI scans.
Doctors may also use endoscopy, in which a long, thin scope with a tiny video camera on the end is threaded down the mouth, through the esophagus and stomach, and into the duodenum to look at the ampulla and perhaps take samples to look for cancer cells.
If your doctors determine that you have ampullary cancer, the standard approach is to remove the tumor from the ampulla of Vater with a procedure called pancreaticoduodenal resection, or Whipple procedure. This procedure involves the resection, or removal, of the tumor in the affected portion of the ampulla of Vater and the surrounding areas.
The procedure is performed using endoscopic instruments. In some centers, the long, narrow cameras and tools used to perform the procedure are inserted through small incisions (cuts) in the abdomen. This makes the procedure minimally invasive (there's not a lot of cutting and bleeding) and improves the chances of recovering from the surgery. However, the most common way to perform the Whipple procedure is with an open abdomen.
Ampullary cancer is a life-threatening diagnosis, but thanks to the use of the Whipple procedure, the survival rates from the cancer are improving. In the last decade, people treated using the Whipple procedure have shown a 5-year survival rate ranging from about 20% to as high as 75%, based on how far the tumor has progressed.
Ampullary cancer is such a rare condition that experts aren't sure what steps, if any, can be taken to prevent it. It does appear to be more common among men than women.

A transformer crashes to the ground causing wires to fall on top of a vehicle in Tallahassee.
Sharon Dubose feels lucky to be alive after transformer wires fell on top of her vehicle Friday night around 6:20 p.m.
She was turning into a parking lot off of South Monroe Street when a big-rig clipped several power lines taking the transformer down.
"The transformer fell off the top of the building and it exploded into flames and it like blinded me and I couldn't see anything," recalled Dubose.
Fire officials were cautious attempting to free the truck driver because of the downed power lines. Dubose says it was help from above that helped her through the accident.
"Just called on the name of the Lord and when I called him, Jesus, it's like the flames just went out."

When using OSS Zimbra 3.0.1 with IMAP clients and not just the web interface, we're seeing a lot of cases where the new message count within the Zimbra web interface is incorrect.
For example, one user of ours used squirrelmail to delete 3 messages the other day (his parents have dialup ;-) When he went to the Zimbra web interface, the Trash folder showed that there were 3 new messages, but really, no messages at all were in that folder (new or old). Choosing 'Empty Trash' does not solve the problem.
For me, I mainly use mutt, which uses Zimbra as an imap server. Looking in mutt now, there are no new messages. Going to the Zimbra web interface, it says that there's 60 or so new messages, but there actually aren't any new ones.
When I use the phrase "It think's there are X new messages", I'm referring to the message count in parenthesis after the folder name, in the folder list on the left.
My appologies if this was an issue already solved in 3.1.0. I have not yet upgraded, as I was hoping to wait a few days for the installer kinks to get worked out, these guys would get irate if they went without email for more than a few minutes ;-)
I didn't see it mentioned in bugzilla, the release notes, or the forum, so I figured I'd take the chance that this issue was present in 3.1.0 as well :-) If you prefer I upgrade first, I can get back to you in a few days as to whether we're still seeing this.

Staff Report
Published Nov. 28, 2012
The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a $3 million contract to SCRA's research and development division to support an information sharing system for port security.
Under the agreement, the Applied R&D department will do maintenance and make improvements to the Interagency Operations Center WatchKeeper System. The WatchKeeper System manages port security information to help Department of Homeland Security and federal, state and local maritime officials secure ports more efficiently.
The program is a part of the Coast Guard's Interagency Operations Center/Comand 21 project.
"SCRA Applied R&D offers domain expertise and capabilities that support these efforts to improve our ports and security," said company President Chris Van Metre.
SCRA worked on Project Seahawk in Charleston, which was a pilot project for securing for policing and securing cargo, since the WatchKeeper program began.

I am sure I am missing something obvious - but I've not been able to find any sensible documentation on the iSync / Mac OS X client support in Zimbra. I have found out that whatever the support is, it is only available in the Professional Edition, but I've not found any description of what this support provides.
Where can I find such information?

Spider-Man 2 (2004)
Spider-Man 2 SynopsisSpider-Man is back to doing what he ought to be doing: Blowing me away.
As much as the first trailer, with its super-slo-mo car crashing and hero posing Doc Ock under whelmed, the latest ad for the summers most anticipated flick cruises comfortably into super-pursuit mode.
Granted, its just a mish-mash of images and occasionally Spider-Man looks a lot like a super-bendable, super-poseable rubber figure. But the thing has an emotional resonance, a giddiness factor Ive not grooved to since the ads for the original Spider-Man.
Get ready for Spider-Man 2 to make another Jesus billion. Pass the plate; Im ready to make a contribution.
I have all the hope in the world for Spider-Man 2. I have every confidence that Raimi can bring in a sequel every bit as good as the amazing first. That having been said, I'm a little disappointed in the first teaser trailer.
Remember the first teaser for Spider-Man, way back in 2001? It premiered in front of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. I remember that because I went out of my way to see that god awful flick just so I'd be one of the first to see the Spidey teaser. THAT was a creative bit of advertising, a fake bank heist filmed specifically for the ad and a copter stuck in a gigantic spider-web. I wet my pants. Subsequent looks at the actual film were beautiful and breathtaking. The old web head never looked so good. Then the movie itself was only better.
But Spider-Man 2 is off on a much shakier foot. The trailer (which you've hopefully seen) features Doc Ock flinging cars through a coffee shop window, where Mary Jane and Peter Parker sit rehashing the same do you love me don't you love me mumbo jumbo that never quite got wrapped up in the first film.
Alfred Molina looks like he's really going to nail Doc Ock, giving us an even better villain than Willem DaFoe's Goblin. Spidey himself looks better than ever. It appears as though they may have fixed some of the little cgi fubar's that plagued film one. But for some reason this just isn't as exciting as I'd hoped. There's some cool footage of the junior Osborne hovering over the wall crawler with a knife. That and all the other dramatic elements look fine. Still, I don't feel the same level of energy from this one. That car flying through the window... just didn't feel as exciting as it ought to be. No sense of danger, none of that OUT OF CONTROL feeling that was so successful in conveying the real rush of swinging through the air on little strands of web in the original. Not yet anyway.
It is just a teaser. It is a good teaser... it just isn't as good as the stuff we had a couple of years ago for our first look at Spider-Man. I don't think that means this won't be as wonderful, it just means that there's more to come. A talented returning cast, director, and crew from a film as great as the original has to equal success.

|Sagehorn receives American FFA Degree
|Written by Darci Tomky
Elisa Sagehorn, member of the Holyoke FFA Chapter, recently received the American FFA Degree at the National FFA Convention Saturday, Oct. 24 in Indianapolis, Ind. Earning the degree means Sagehorn is one of a select group of individuals to be recognized for years of academic and professional excellence.
The American FFA Degree is the highest level that can be achieved as an FFA member. It recognizes demonstrated leadership ability and outstanding achievements in agriculture business, production, processing or service programs.
To be eligible, members must have earned and productively invested $7,500 through a supervised agricultural experience (SAE) program in which they start, own or hold a professional position in an existing agriculture enterprise. Recipients must also make it their mission to demonstrate outstanding leadership abilities and community involvement.
Of 507,763 FFA members nationwide, Sagehorn was one of only 3,299 to be recognized in 2009. Six others from Colorado's Northeast District also received the gold American FFA Degree key with Sagehorn.
On Friday night, all the American Degree recipients attended a banquet to hear words of inspiration from the sponsoring organizations, Andrew McCrea who trains the National Officers and the national FFA advisor Dr. Larry Case who challenged them to continue on their paths of hard work.
Saturday, Sagehorn said the degree recipients gathered to prepare for the "awe-inspiring" ceremony to receive their very own golden American FFA Degree key.
The key is a symbol of so many different things, said Sagehorn. "To every individual it holds a place of remembering hard work, dedication, tradition and all the emotions of their experiences in the ag classroom and the FFA organization."
Besides her own memories and experiences, Sagehorn's key also symbolizes a tradition she carries. "The FFA organization strongly promotes the excellence of agriculture heritage and the traditions that come with it," said Sagehorn. "Through my FFA experience and ag ed experience, I have been able to see a huge amount of amazing heritage from all across the country."
While these individuals are inspiring and noteworthy, Sagehorn said they can't compare to what she has at home. Both her father Keith Sagehorn and her uncle Ray Dean Sagehorn received American FFA Degrees, and Sagehorn said she is continuing on a tradition of morals and standards in her family.
"Beyond even that, my key is a recognition of the passion FFA has inspired me to carry," she said. "The key is a starting point in my own future as I prepare to inspire youth as an agriculture instructor."
A 2008 graduate of HHS, Sagehorn served as an executive committee member on the Colorado FFA state officer team for 2008-2009. She is currently studying animal science with a pre-vet focus at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa.
Holyoke FFA chapter attends convention
Nine members from the Holyoke FFA chapter attended the National FFA Convention Oct. 21-24.
In Indianapolis they had the opportunity to hear speakers Mike Rowe from "Dirty Jobs," Harvey Alston, national FFA officers and others. They also attended workshops on electronic media and service learning as well as a career show.
Apart from the convention, FFA members toured Bluespring Caverns and Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Taking a break from the long bus ride, the Holyoke chapter as well as members from Otis, Akron and Haxtun stopped at the John Deere seeder factory in Moline, Ill. where they watched them build planters.
HHS chapter members attending the convention included Evan Swanson, Amanda Ferguson, Emma Adams, Skyler Mayfield, Alyssa Roll, Caleb Kafka, Mariah Struckmeyer, Trae McCallum, Caitlyn Kramer and sponsor Troy Mayfield.

Ark Church Visits Haiti on a Mission
Exhausted from their three-hour plane ride, just 700 miles off the coast of Miami, a team of eight local church members visited Haiti on a mission to spread the good news of the gospel.
From June 24 through June 28, the Rev. J. L. Carter, pastor of Ark Church in East Baltimore, led his team through the rugged country to experience Haitian life.
"Our purpose of going to Haiti was to provide help to others. I wanted to partner with an organization where we would be able to send monthly support," said Rev. Carter.
Haiti, which has a 90 percent unemployment rate and 80 percent of its residents living in poverty, is in desperate need of economic improvement. Rev. Carter, who has visited the country several times, told the AFRO, "I wanted my members to see just how our living conditions are compared to a country less fortunate than ours."
During their 5-day journey, they visited churches, schools, orphans, villages and schools for children who are domestic slaves. On her first visit to the country, Mia Miller said she never would have imagined a place could be so poor, yet rich in the spirit of the Lord. She said, "I didn't know what to expect."
"The citizens of Haiti might be poor in physical things, but they are rich in faith, rich in love, rich in respect and rich in integrity," Miller said.
Ark Church's mission was to be able to provide support in hopes that Haitians will live a fruitful life. In the poorest country in the western hemisphere, a country where no public assistance or help provided, they try to make good use of what they have—which isn't much. Haiti is mostly hot and humid and some areas of the country can be almost desert-like. Water is limited; therefore Haitians rely solely on rainwater for drinking and bathing.
"Haitians aren't getting enough clean water," Rev. Carter said. "To them having clean water is like having money in your pocket."
Since his initial visit, the east Baltimore pastor said a lot has changed, however there is still so much that needs to be done. "One thing I observed, particularly in the rural areas, persons were suffering and stricken with diseases because of polluted water."
As the team traveled through some of the rural areas, Miller saw a woman with no shoes on her feet and gave her the shoes she was wearing. She said, "They appreciate everything they have and they have faith that God will provide them with more."
The church has already made plans to return to Haiti. They plan to offer more in hopes others will be willing to do the same. Rev. Carter said Ark Church is helping by providing the resources to have a well dug in order to have clean water.
"What we're doing is just a small band-aid of help," he said. "The people there have strong faith. You saw religious scriptures on the sides of transportation, businesses, restaurants and bars."
He said there were writings on sides of buildings that said, "Thank God for Jesus."
While it's clear God is the center of their lives, Carter said, "as a church they are inspired to do more." "There is a great Harvest of people who need to hear the gospel and what Ark church has done was left a tremendous impact on Haitians."
Carter told the AFRO, "we are committed." He said, "they are so used to seeing Whites giving to them, so for a black-based organization to go and give back is great."
In traveling throughout Haiti Miller said as a church family, we connected with organizations and other churches that they could help. "We've built relationships with them in a major way," said Miller.
Upon their return, Carter said there's a "great amount" of persons in the church who want to go on future journeys to Haiti to spread the good gospel. He said, "I have the Macedonia vision that we can do more."
The "Macedonia vision," is stated in Acts 16:9-10, which says, "A vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him saying, come over to Macedonia and help us. Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to him."
"I pray that other churches and communities will collectively get together to do the same, said Carter.
Carter said, "God has blessed us so that we can be a blessing to others."

Duct Work and High Ceilings | HVAC Duct Work Systems
Duct Work and High Ceilings – I did not see any reference to my question and would appreciate a response as soon as possible, as due to medical situation, have to make a decision soon. We own an OLD house with 13′ ceilings in a large part of the home and 11″ ceilings in the LV/DR and BR. We are oscillating on where to place the ducts….Floor or ceiling. It appears to be counterproductive to me to put the duct work in the ceiling since it will have so far to go. We are looking for the most cost effective, not upfront cost but operating cost, solution. In addition, we are considering DF heat pumps. The house will need 2 or 3 to be zoned correctly. Please let me know about the duct placement and thank you for your help?

Today there is an abundance of theories about different strategies and tactics police departments can implement to reduce crime and save tax payer money. Unfortunately, like many theories, they can be difficult to measure, and prove – or disprove.
I recently came across an article in Dispatch called A Hot Spot Experiment: Sacramento Police Department that took the so-called Koper curve theory of hot spot policing, and put it to a real world test.
The Sacramento Police Department tested out the theory, which states that certain neighborhoods or locations will have an unequal distribution of crime when compared to other locations in the same area. The higher crime areas are called hot spots, and the theory says that when there is a visible police presence in these hot spots, crime will drop.
The experiment outlined a ranking of Hot Spots, and two separate groups (Hot Spot Policing, and Routine Patrols) were assigned. Hot Spot Policing was defined as having police officers who are highly visible in the assigned Hot Spot for 12-16 minutes every two hours.
The Sacramento Police Department tested the theory over a three month period. Following are some of the findings of that real world study:
- Crimes in areas that used Hot Spot Policing decreased by 25 percent
- Officer productivity improved due to Hot Spot Policing
- Hot Spot Policing lead to significant cost savings (almost $300,000 over the three month period)
So, while this is only one real world experiment that seemed to show benefits to implementing the Koper curve theory of hot spot policing, more research can be done. I also found it interesting to see how vitally important accurate crime data and statistics are to implementing a technique such as Hot Spot Policing. Accurate crime data allowed Sacramento PD to identify Hot Spots, and track the impact of its experiment. Ultimately it seems, having the ability to collect, track, and analyze crime data, leads to better knowledge, and thus better decision-making.
Congratulations to the Sacrament Police Department for using their data to implement Intelligence Led Policing systems that lower crime, and save money. To read more about this experiment, visit http://cops.usdoj.gov/html/dispatch/06-2012/hot-spots-and-sacramento-pd.asp

- Procedures for Submitting New Reports
- Format & Style Guidance
- Report Templates (for download)
- Frequently Asked Questions
This site provides information about the Natural Resource Reports (NRR), Natural Resource Data Series (NRDS), and the legacy Natural Resource Technical Reports (NRTR) report series.
Click on the links to the left to see lists of reports published in a report series.
See our procedures page for more information about submitting a new report. New submissions are only accepted from NPS offices. Submissions from external contributors are welcome, but must be submitted by a sponsoring NPS office.
Manuscripts must adhere to a set of minimum standards and are peer-reviewed to ensure that information is scientifically credible, technically accurate, appropriately written for the intended audience, and designed and published in a professional manner.
About Our Report Series
Natural Resource
Reports (NRR)
Natural Resource
Data Series (NRDS)
- Natural Resource
Technical Reports
(NRTR - Legacy 1996-2014)
Natural Resource Reports (NRR): used to disseminate comprehensive information and analysis about natural resources and related topics concerning lands managed by the National Park Service. The series supports the advancement of science, informed decision-making, and the achievement of the National Park Service mission. The series also provides a forum for presenting more lengthy results that may not be accepted by publications with page limitations.
Any peer reviewed report concerning natural resources on lands managed on NPS lands may be published in the NRR series. Examples of NRR reports are below.
- Reports that present quantifiable data, data analysis, and any sort of interpretive discussion concerning those results, including:
- Inventory reports.
- Monitoring reports.
- Species status reports
- Research study reports.
- Procedural reports (protocols, standard operating procedures, etc.).
- Planning reports (monitoring plans, data management plans, etc.).
- Any report with a significant focus on NPS policy and/or land management issues (natural resource condition assessments, land management reports, etc.).
Natural Resource Data Series (NRDS): intended for timely release of basic data sets and data summaries. Care has been taken to assure accuracy of raw data values, but a thorough analysis and interpretation of the data has not been completed. Consequently, the initial analyses of data in these reports are provisional and subject to change. Examples of NRDS reports include:
- preliminary data summary reports (release of data results prior to a more detailed analysis)
- periodic/annual data summary reports for long-term monitoring or research projects
NRTR Reports were historically used to disseminate the results of scientific studies in the physical, biological, and social sciences for both the advancement of science and the achievement of the National Park Service mission.
The Natural Resource Technical Report (NRTR) series will be merged with the Natural Resource Report (NRR) series on January 1, 2015.
The merge creates no additional steps for authors, editors, or peer review managers. The Fort Collins support office will handle most things for you during the final review for all new reports, and you can continue to submit reports using the older NRTR templates for most of 2015.
Archived copies of all previously published NRTR reports will remain available for download on the NRTR page, and in the NPS Data Store.
Background (Why the Merge?)
In 2009, the original rules that specified the chapter organization for the NRTR series were discontinued. This change removed the main distinctions between the NRTR and NRR series. Additionally, since 2009:
- Reports published in both series included quantifiable data along with related analysis and interpretation.
- The templates for both report series were nearly identical.
- Both series shared exactly the same peer review and publication submission processes.
- Having two report series with such overlapping scope was a continuing source of confusion.
In September, 2014, the NPS I&M Division Leadership Team approved the merging the two series into a single NRR series.

History Day Hullabaloo a St. Cloud Success
The first History Day Hullabaloo event at the St. Cloud Public Library took place Saturday, Feb. 2 and was a great success!
National History Day is an interdisciplinary research project for students in grades 6 to 12. Students choose a topic that relates to the annual theme, and develop their research as either a research paper, exhibit, documentary, performance or website. History Day competitions take place at school, regional, state and national levels. A History Day Hullabaloo is a research open house for National History Day students to gather and research at a host library. Eighty-two students from seven schools attended the St. Cloud Hullabaloo where they had access to online sources, print, and professional helpers. The schools were:
Becker High School
Buffalo Middle School
St. Cloud Lincoln Elementary
Rocori Middle School
Sauk Rapids Rice Middle School
Saint John's Preparatory School, and
Zimmerman High School
Nine teachers, eight research assistants from the library staff and a crew of seven Minnesota Historical Society staff and volunteers helped students do their research at the library. As well as providing one-on-one assistance, they provided mini lessons on thesis statements and project organization.
Student researched projects included the Kristallnacht, Frank Lloyd Wright's buildings, the early American trial of John Peter Zenger, immigration from Slovenia, the sinking of the Spanish treasure ship El Cazador, and Russia's Sputnik 2.

Great work
Another artist sent me a link where my designs were being stolen and sold...While on that site I ran across a design that I recognized as one of your designs being sold. We're trying to contact artists whose work has been stolen and being sold. Our hope is that the site will remove all of our stolen designs. If you'd be so kind to relay this to other artists it would be greatly appreciated. Maybe if the site gets enough complaints they will get shut down because there are a lot of stolen designs by other artists on there. Here's the link to one of yours: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/produ...

The Committee on Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct has attempted to bring together a variety of resources that will allow administrators, student-athletes, coaches or support groups to engage others in the development of a positive sporting environment for intercollegiate athletics. It is not by accident that sportsmanship has become such a defining value in intercollegiate athletics. The NCAA was founded in an attempt to address unsportsmanlike acts that were costing the loss of student-athlete lives. Today, values such as respect, caring, fairness, civility, honesty, integrity, and responsibility are the focus for the committee.
The NCAA Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct Committee has developed the following definitions for sportsmanship and ethical conduct:
- Sportsmanship is a set of behaviors to be exhibited by student-athletes, coaches, game officials, administrators and fans in athletics competition. These behaviors are based on values, especially respect and integrity.
- Ethical conduct is a set of guiding principles with which each person follows the letter and spirit of the rules. Such conduct reflects a higher standard than law because it includes, among other principles, fundamental values that define sportsmanship.
Sportsmanship is one of 16 defining principles of the Association:
NCAA Bylaw 2.4 The Principles of Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct.
For intercollegiate athletics to promote the character development of participants, to enhance the integrity of higher education and to promote civility in society, student-athletes, coaches, and all others associated with these athletics programs and events should adhere to such fundamental values as respect, fairness, civility, honesty and responsibility. These values should be manifest not only in athletics participation but also in the broad spectrum of activities affecting the athletics program. It is the responsibility of each institution to: (Revised: 1/9/96)
(a) Establish policies for sportsmanship and ethical conduct in intercollegiate athletics consistent with the educational mission and goals of the institution; and (Adopted: 1/9/96)
(b) Educate, on a continuing basis, all constituencies about the policies in Constitution 2.4-(a). (Adopted: 1/9/96)
Contained within this section of the website are:
- The RESPECT Sportsmanship Initiative.
- Resources and Best Practices used by member institutions.
- Information on the NCAA Sportsmanship Award.

Royals Roster Moves
It's September, which means a flurry of roster moves around the Major Leagues. Here's a brief look at what moves the Royals made so far…
On Friday, Aug. 31, before September call ups even began, the Royals decided to recall Mike Sweeney from his rehab assignment and reinstate him from the 60-day D.L. before the second game of the doubleheader. To make room for Sweeney on the roster, the Royals optioned right-handed pitcher Kyle Davies to Wichita and transferred right-hander John Thomson from the 15-day to the 60-day D.L. After breaking up Scott Baker's no-hitter with a single in the ninth inning Friday, Sweeney went 2-for-5 with a double as DH on Saturday and then 1-for-5 in the same role on Sunday.
The next set of moves came Monday, when the Royals reinstated Mark Teahen from the 15-day D.L. and recalled Davies and fellow right-hander Leo Nunez from Wichita. All three were in uniform for last night's 8-1 win over the Rangers. Teahen started in right field, went 3-for-5, walked, scored a run and had an RBI – glad to have him back from the D.L., too!
Today, Kansas City recalled RHP and 2006 first overall draft selection Luke Hochevar as well as first baseman Justin Huber. The Royals purchased the contracts of catcher Paul Phillips and first baseman Craig Brazell. All four come from the Triple-A Omaha roster and will be in uniform for tonight's game. Although a starter in the minors, Hochevar will work out of the bullpen at the Major League level, according to GM Dayton Moore, who just participated in an online chat with Royals fans.
Any other September moves you'd like to see before the end of the season? Which September call-up would you like to see get the most playing time?
Tonight, Billy Buckner (0-0, 1.17 ERA) makes his first Major League start, facing the Rangers Kevin Millwood (9-11, 5.11 ERA). Tune into RSTN or 810 WHB Sports Radio – first pitch is 7:05 p.m.

07/19/2008, Somewhere along the way to Oriental, NC
Ahh, the Rebounder. I'm relaxing in it as I write this outside some small town in North Carolina. Nevertheless, I've got several bars of broadband internet. I hope they don't kick me out of the Food Lion parking lot I've camped in. There are signs for camping just up the street, but I prefer this tonight. I'm about 60 miles from the airport, about 130 to go to Oriental. I've got a special appointment to pick up the dogs at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. I've got a slice of pizza from a joint in the strip mall here and whatever I have left from the bag of food Pam and my Mother sent me off with. I'm fine. I will be better than fine tomorrow morning when I reunite with Jake and Anne.
07/19/2008, Nashville, TN
Again, I'm sitting in the airport doing a live blog entry. It is 2:37 p.m.. The flight leaves at 3:20 p.m. We should start boarding in 10 or 20 minutes. It looks like a 2 hour flight or so. Then its back to the rebounder (stored, as you may recall, in the long-term parking lot), drive part of the way tonight, wake up tomorrow, drive the rest of the way to Oriental, pick up the dogs at 1:00 p.m., and continue my cruising adventure. I have a court hearing later this week that I can appear at telephonically, so I probably won't depart until its over, then I'm finally off.
07/19/2008, Somewhere between Los Angeles and San Diego
My mom hooked me up with a business class train ticket to San Diego for a very short visit at their summer place in Coronado. I wound up taking a later train so that I could spend some time with Aunt Rhoda, who came up from San Diego on the same day I traveled down there. Pamela, Cameron, Rhoda, and I enjoyed a pleasant walk together. There is a historic latino district just outside the station where I picked up a burrito lunch for the trip. It was only ok. The 2.75 hour trip turned into about 4 hours due to problems with another train. That would have really bothered me in the past, but I've become much more patient over the last few months and I'm no longer in a rush all the time. I read a book and enjoyed the scenery. I picked the book up at a used bookstore in Tucson before I left town. It is about a father and son who sail around the tip of South America together. My dad helped me with my taxes last night and by phone message and e-mail today. That may be as close to Tropical Dreamer as we're likely to get together.
I wanted to get in this shot of Pamela even though the guys are about to crash on me. She was very kind to hang out with me so much while I was in town. Between taking care of the kids and me during the day and working at night these days as a set designer for hollywood, she is busy. My brother Kevin similarly puts in 12 hour work days to support the family. I remember when I devoted most of my life energy to work. I didn't even have a family to support. The work regimine we follow here in the US doesn't leave much left for one's self or others. With all this time and energy on my hands in this coming period, I hope I will not waste it and that I will savour and appreciate the freedom. Before he left for work this morning, my bro assured me that if I needed money, I could call on him. What a guy. Lets hope I don't have to make that call.
A little unpredictable with the youngins and all, but still enjoyable to be with family. I believe the pirate theme was in my honor.
My brother Kevin left for work early and I got to spend a few hours with my youngest niece. We played with play dough together, I made her breakfast, she taught me her version of checkers and tick tack toe. Then my sister-in-law Pamela got everyone organized for the day. We dropped Jasmine off at camp and took youngest nephew Cameron to the Guitar Center. Cameron is 2.5 years old. Guitar Center is a music instrument superstore. The boy was in his element. He especially likes the drum section. We had to drag him out of there after spending over an hour running from one drum set to the next. A nice mexican food lunch, rest time, work-out and clean-up at the Beverly Hills Country Club, a bit of food shopping with Pam and the kids, BBQing red snapper on the roof deck with my bro, family dinner, and bed time. I sure like this better than hanging out by myself in an empty house in Tucson, but maybe not as much as hanging out by myself with the dogs in a cruising sailboat.
07/17/2008, 10,000 feet up and 50 miles northwest of town
Somehow this is how the picture came out. I think I moved the camera when I realized it was going to flash and disturb everyone on the flight. I'm presently staying for a day or two with my brother, sister in law, and their two young kids in the city of Los Angeles. I feel better already. For one thing, its a lot cooler in LA than Tucson. Also, I'm traveling again, which feels right. From the calls and e-mails, the dogs and boat are fine. Only four more days, not that I'm counting. The highlight of Tucson was the friends and family that I spent time with. Going back "home" like that really taught me some things and put some things into perspective. Glad to be moving on in my travels.

AAR reports railroad shipping volumes are up for week ending September 24
September 30, 2011
Rail traffic was up for the week ending September 24, according to data released by the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
Carload volume—at 305,133—was up 1.1 percent annually and approached the week ending April 2, which hit 305,905 carloads, marking the highest weekly carload tally since the end of 2008. This outpaced the previous three weeks, which hit 299,914, 299,943, and 300, 521, respectively.
Eastern carloads were up 2.9 percent, and out west carloads were up 3.8 percent. On a year-to-date basis, carloads—at 11,016,908—are up 1.7 percent.
Intermodal volumes at 248,402 trailers and containers are up 3 percent annually and represents not only the highest weekly total for 2011 but also the highest weekly tally since week 39 of 2007, according to the AAR. Intermodal is up 5.5 percent year-to-date at 8,630,362. Shippers continue to turn to intermodal as an alternative to trucking movements, as they can see significant fuel savings in exchange for a longer transit time.
Of the 20 commodity groups tracked by the AAR, 13 were up annually. Metallic ores were up 21 percent, and grain was down 21.4 percent.
