|Cowboy Capital Chorus to hit Holyoke stage Sunday
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Cowboy Capital Chorus will do an encore performance of its spring show, "Cowboy Capital Jamboree," Sunday, June 23 at 4 p.m. at the Peerless Theatre.
The show's theme this year is a western one, and the chorus will be performing many old-time favorites such as "Cool Water," "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" and "Home on the Range." Also featured will be well-known cowboy poet Dave Knight and special quartets Tonal Chaos, the Hi-liners and Equally Delinquent.
Ready to herd those doggies—or maybe better yet, serenade them—the Cowboy Capital Chorus will perform its show Cowboy Capital Jamboree Sunday, June 23 at 4 p.m. at the Peerless Theatre.
"The chorus was really motivated to bring the show to Holyoke because we know many people purchased tickets for the March performance and couldn't attend because of the snow. We've appeared twice at the Phillips County Fair and have a good following in the area," said Susan Kelton, chorus director.
"Plus, we had a great time putting together the show this year, and it just seemed a shame the weather interfered with attendance," she said. "We certainly will honor all tickets that were bought for the March show even if you've thrown them away. Just tell the ticket taker at the door."
Cowboy Capital Chorus is a barbershop group of around 24 area men who have been singing together for 12 years. In that time, they have performed at over 100 area events, most recently at the Cattlemen's Ball.
This will be a fun-filled afternoon of family entertainment. Tickets may purchased at the door.

Hi everyone
I'm gradually migrating users over from MS SBS 2003 (only 13 users total) and looking to replicate our extensive nested Public Folders system.
We're planning to have a dedicated "company" account which is shared between all users of a particular distribution list.
I see that for users to be able to accept shares and access them they need to have sharing enabled in their COS.
However that also means that they can create shares for other users.
1) Can I set it so that users can accept/mount/access/unmount shares... but not create shares for other users?
2) Can the sharer force the name (mount point) and colour onto the user?
3) Ideally forcing shares to be auto-mounted and preventing users from dismounting would be properly awesome as well. Is that possible?
4) In my testing I've noticed a slight inconsistency with the users Sharing section in the Preferences of the Ajax UI.
If user X shares a mail folder with subfolders to user Y, then user Y only gets a single share request e-mail.
If user Y then deletes a subfolder from the share, it goes into user Xs Trash (really cool!).
User X then restores that subfolder into the share... fair enough it takes a few minutes for that to appear again or a logout/login for user Y.
But if user Y then goes into Sharing Preferences and uses the function to search for folders shared by user X, the deleted and now restored subfolder appears as a separate share request in the "not yet accepted" section.
Even though that subfolder is happily displayed again under the original share.
... does that make any sense?
Means a user could then create an a mount point for the subfolder whilst the parent folder is also shared.
Fair enough if user X wants to share the subfolder again or with different permissions for example but in this case I don't think it should appear as a separate/new share request for user Y.
5) Another thing I've just noticed... pretty concerning!
If user X shares a folder with subfolders to user Y, user Y has r+w permissions.
User Y deletes the main mount point (the root of the share) so it appears in their own Trash.
That's fine... as those actions don't affect the share and its contents as far as user X or any other users are concerned.
However if user Y then right clicks the mount point that's sat in their Trash and selects "Empty Folder", then the entire contents of that mount point is deleted... from user X's mailbox completely :eek:
Those deleted items/subfolders don't even end up in user X's Trash, just gone :eek:
The parent folder that was the root of the share is still present in user X's mailbox but completely empty.
Would it not be better to prevent users being able to permanently delete mail items/folders that are shared with them, even if they have Manager/Admin permissions?
Anything a user deletes should be moved to the sharer's trash, then it's subject to the sharer's trash retention policy.
Anyone got any comments/suggestions on these or able to replicate these final 2?
Cheers, B

The airspace between traditional business jet access models (charter, fractional ownership and jet cards) and first-class airline travel has been active lately, even if there's not much to show for it. But while some would-be per-seat charter providers and fledgling "flight club" programs appear to be in a holding pattern, one alternative operator in California has quickly taken off: Surf Air, which offers more than a dozen scheduled daily flights between off-the-hub airports in the Bay Area and Los Angeles.

Global deliveries of turbine business airplanes increased 7.2 percent in this year's first quarter over the first quarter of 2013, according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association.

New-jet programs come in two flavors: completely clean-sheet-of-paper designs and updates of existing models. This article deals strictly with the former. The category is well populated, but mostly with midsize and super-midsize jets—a reflection of continuing softness in the entry-level sector and the rarefication of the large-jet and bizliner field. Bombardier, Cessna and Embraer all have models under development in what can be called the greater middle market, the most attractive category for fractional programs and other fleet customers. The large-jet business is seeing some action, although less of it: new projects are under way at Bombardier and Dassault and the rumor mill is running full tilt regarding Gulfstream programs building on the larger-cabin cross-section introduced by the G650.

As soon as its first owner departs from the manufacturer's delivery center, a new airplane technically becomes used (or preowned).

Alabama lawmakers have passed bills that would make it easier to criminally charge people who abuse, neglect or financially exploit the elderly.
The sponsors say they expect the governor to sign one of the bills into law once the two slightly different versions are reconciled.
The Senate sponsor, Republican Sen. Cam Ward of Alabaster, says only one word in the measure that passed the Senate is different from the House-passed version sponsored by Republican Rep. Paul DeMarco of Homewood.
Ward says both provide tools to prosecute cases like a recent one in Montgomery, where a man was accused of getting power of attorney from a 98-year old woman and then stealing $2.5 million.

Romney stands by his opposition to gay marriage
by Sean Murphy and Kasie Hunt, AP
Oklahoma City, OK (AP) - Mitt Romney on Wednesday reaffirmed his view that marriage should be restricted to one man and one woman, highlighting a sharp contrast with President Barack Obama.
Obama declared his unequivocal personal support for same-sex marriage during an interview with ABC News. Reporters asked Romney about the issue after a campaign event in Oklahoma City.
"My view is that marriage itself is between a man and a woman," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee told reporters. He said he believes that states should be able to make decisions about whether to offer certain legal rights to same-sex couples.
"This is a very tender and sensitive topic, as are many social issues, but I have the same view that I've had since - since running for office," Romney said. He first ran for political office in 1994, when he challenged Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., and was elected governor of Massachusetts in 2002.
Obama is the first president in history to support gay marriage. Polls show the country is evenly divided on the issue.
Romney did not go so far as to accuse Obama of changing his position on gay marriage, though the president has said that he had an "evolving" view of the subject. Questioned by reporters, Romney said news reports indicate Obama has shifted his stance.
Romney was a leading voice against gay marriage as Massachusetts governor. The courts legalized gay marriage in the state during his tenure, but he supported a constitutional amendment to define marriage as the union of a man and a woman.
After gay marriage became legal, Romney sought to enforce a statute banning state officials from marrying gay couples from other states. In a speech to conservatives last winter, Romney touted that move, saying he prevented Massachusetts from becoming the "Las Vegas of gay marriage."
Romney said Wednesday he supports limiting benefits for same-sex couples.
"I do not favor civil unions if they are identical to marriage other than by name," he told the Fox TV station in Denver. "My view is the domestic partnership benefits, hospital visitation rights, and the like are appropriate but that the others are not."
The Romney campaign did not respond to requests for clarification about which benefits Romney supports and which he does not.
A new Associated Press-GfK poll shows independent voters trust Obama over Romney to handle social issues "such as abortion and same-sex marriage," with 39 percent favoring Obama and 22 percent favoring Romney. A majority of voters trust Obama over Romney in every age group except senior citizens.
While conservative Republicans trust Romney over Obama by wide margins, moderate and liberal Republicans are almost evenly split between Obama and Romney.
Hunt reported from Washington. Associated Press Deputy Polling Director Jennifer Agiesta and Associated Press writer Steve LeBlanc in Boston contributed to this report.
Obama gay marriage support seen as world precedent
by Jack Chang, AP
Mexico City, Mexico (AP) - President Barack Obama's announcement Wednesday that he supports gay marriage boosted the hopes of gay rights groups around the world that other leaders will follow his example. Vatican and other religious officials who oppose gay marriage stayed largely silent, while others denounced the president's position.
Gay groups lauded what they said was the tremendous precedent set by Obama and hoped for changes in their own countries. In Latin America, for example, governments in Argentina and Mexico City have passed laws permitting gay marriage, but most do not.
"This is incredibly important, it's excellent news. The United States is a global leader on everything, and that includes gay rights," said Julio Moreira, president of the Rio de Janeiro-based Arco-Iris gay rights group. "This will force other nations like Brazil to move forward with more progressive policies."
That message was echoed by some people in Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, who said it was about time Obama took a positive stand on the issue.
"It's a civil liberty," said 25-year-old Duncan Bruce while smoking a cigarette outside of a London pub. "This is not to do with religion - it's about two men loving each other. If you can't get a tax break for that, it's a disgrace."
Even as religious officials didn't comment, political leaders and others opposed to gay marriage were not shy about denouncing what they said was a shameless appeal by Obama for votes. In particular, politicians tied to Pentecostal and Catholic churches have spoken out strongly against same-sex marriage in Latin America.
"Barack Obama is an ethical man and a philosophically confused man," said Peruvian congresswoman Martha Chavez of the conservative Catholic Opus Dei movement. "He knows that marriage isn't an issue only of traditions or of religious beliefs. Marriage is a natural institution that supports the union of two people of different sexes because it has a procreative function."
Religion-based opposition was also strong in Egypt's conservative Muslim-dominated society, which rejects same-sex relations. Laws prohibiting "debauchery" or "shameless public acts" have been used to imprison gay men in recent years.
"This is unacceptable, because it is against religion, traditions and against God," said engineer Shady Azer in Cairo. "God created Adam and Eve. He didn't create two Adams or two Eves."
In 2008, four HIV-positive Egyptians were sentenced to three years in prison after being convicted of the "habitual practice of debauchery." Human rights groups warned that the case could undermine HIV prevention efforts in Egypt.
Actions by governments worldwide have reflected that diversity of opinion.
In 2010, Argentina became Latin America's first country to approve gay marriage. The next year, Brazil's Supreme Court approved civil unions, followed by several state courts upholding the conversion of civil unions into full marriages. The nation's top appeals court then upheld those marriages in October, setting national precedent.
Gay marriage became legal in Canada in 2005 under the country's previous Liberal government in response to court rulings that gave gay people the right to marry. Thousands of gay Canadians, as well as foreign visitors, have gotten married since then. Spain has allowed gay marriage since 2005.
"This stance will shape the way the rest of the world views the U.S., and will eventually force the way Americans see things to change," said Sasha Mohammed, 30, in Toronto. "It is, after all, impossible to overtly hold onto your prejudices when everyone around you condemns you for it."
Cesar Cigliutti, president of the Gay Community of Argentina group, said Obama was only catching up to the rest of the world.
"It seems to me that by taking this position Obama is aligning himself with the entire world, with these times we're living in, with the achievements of rights in other countries," Cigliutti said.
Meanwhile, voters in North Carolina approved a constitutional amendment Tuesday defining marriage as only between a man and a woman, mirroring efforts in several U.S. states.
In Brazil, the Catholic and evangelical churches and religious politicians continue to block the approval of any legislation in Congress enshrining gay marriage. Moreira noted that efforts by President Dilma Rousseff to promote anti-homophobia education in Brazilian schools were scuttled last year after it became clear religious legislators would block unrelated legislation in protest.
In France, outgoing President Nicolas Sarkozy opposes gay marriage - though recent polls suggest that a majority of French voters support it. This Sunday's electoral victor, French President-elect Francois Hollande, made "the right to marry and adopt for all couples" part of his campaign platform, and has set legislative passage of a bill ensuring that right for no later than June of next year.
Spain adopted its gay marriage law when the country was ruled by the center-left Socialist Party, but the center-right Popular Party took control of the government late last year.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has said he would prefer civil unions instead of marriages, but his administration has made no move to change the current situation. His party does have an appeal of the gay marriage law pending before the country's Constitutional Court.
Jamaica's most prominent evangelical pastor and the island's political ombudsman, Bishop Herro Blair, said late Wednesday afternoon that he was just hearing about Obama's announcement and was still taking it in.
"For now, I can say that I cannot be mad at President Obama. We are in a society where people have choices. However, my belief runs contrary to his," Blair said in Kingston, the island's capital.
In Australia, Prime Minister Julia Gillard said she won't be following Obama's lead in supporting gay marriage.
"I've made my mind up and my position on this is well known," Gillard told reporters in Canberra. "I think it just reinforces this as a matter that people form their own views on, a deeply personal question people will think about, work their way through it; obviously President Obama has and he's announced a decision."
In other words, the gay marriage debate promises to rage on around the world despite Obama's groundbreaking announcement. But for one day, at least, those on one side of the battle won a powerful ally.
"We're living in other times where acceptance is growing more and more," said restaurant owner Carlos Santiago in Mexico City's Pink Zone gay district. "It's impossible to hold back a wave, against something that is natural."
Anat Chen, a 20-year-old bartender in Jerusalem, said she expected more to come.
"Everyone should be allowed to marry whoever they want," she said. "It matters that Obama said it. Whatever happens in America, the rest of the world follows."

Obama voices his support for gay marriage
by Julie Pace
Washington. D.C. (AP) - On the fence no longer, President Barack Obama declared his unequivocal support for gay marriage on Wednesday, a historic announcement that gave the polarizing social issue a more prominent role in the 2012 race for the White House.
The announcement was the first by a sitting president, and Republican challenger Mitt Romney swiftly disagreed with it. "I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman," he said while campaigning in Oklahoma.
Gay rights advocates cheered Obama's declaration, which they had long urged him to make. Beyond the words, one man who married his gay partner in Washington, D.C., was stirred to send a $25 contribution to the president's campaign. "Making a contribution is the best way to say thank you," said Stuart Kopperman.
Obama revealed his decision after a series of events that made clear the political ground was shifting. He once opposed gay marriage but more recently had said his views were "evolving."
In an interview with ABC in which he blended the personal and the presidential, Obama said "it wouldn't dawn" on his daughters, Sasha and Malia, that some of their friends' parents would be treated differently than others. He said he also thought of aides "who are in incredibly committed monogamous same-sex relationships who are raising kids together."
Obama added that he thought about "those soldiers or airmen or Marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf, and yet feel constrained even though now that `don't ask, don't tell' is gone because they're not able to commit themselves in a marriage."
The president said he was taking a personal position. Aides said the president's shift would have no impact on current policies and he continues to believe that marriage is an issue best decided by states.
"I have hesitated on gay marriage in part because I thought that civil unions would be sufficient," Obama said in the interview. He added, "I was sensitive to the fact that for a lot of people the word `marriage' was something that evokes very powerful traditions, religious beliefs and so forth."
Now, he said, "it is important for me personally to go ahead and affirm that same-sex couples should be able to get married."
He spoke on the heels of a pair of events that underscored the sensitivity of an issue that has long divided the nation.
Vice President Joe Biden said in an interview on Sunday that he is completely comfortable with gays marrying, a pronouncement that instantly raised the profile of the issue. White House aides insisted the vice president hadn't said anything particularly newsworthy, but gay rights groups cited Biden's comments in urging the president to announce his support.
On Tuesday, voters in North Carolina - a potential battleground in the fall election - approved an amendment to the state constitution affirming that marriage may only be a union of a man and a woman.
Additionally, several of the president's biggest financial backers are gay, and some have prodded him publicly to declare his support for same-sex marriage.
Senior administration officials said Obama came to the conclusion that gay couples should have the right to legally marry earlier this year and had planned to make his views known publicly before the Democratic National Convention in early September. They conceded that Biden's comments accelerated the timeline, but said the vice president's remarks were impromptu and not part of a coordinated effort to soften the ground for a shift by the president. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal White House deliberations.
As recently as eight years ago, conservatives in several states maneuvered successfully to place questions relating to gay marriage on the election day ballot as a way of boosting turnout for President George W. Bush's re-election.
Now, nationwide polling suggests increasing acceptance of gay marriage. In a national survey released earlier this month, Gallup reported 50 percent of those polled said it should be legal, and 48 percent were opposed. Democrats favored by a margin of roughly 2-1, while Republicans opposed it by an even bigger margin. Among independents, 57 percent expressed support, and 40 percent were opposed.
Whatever the polls, the political crosscurrents are tricky, and administration officials conceded as much.
Some top aides argued that gay marriage is toxic at the ballot box in competitive states like North Carolina and said the vote there this week shows that opposition to the issue is a rallying point for Republicans.
Shifting his emphasis, even briefly, could open Obama up to Republican criticism that he is taking his eye off the economy, voters' No. 1 issue.
Yet some prominent gay donors have said publicly they wanted Obama to announce his support for gay marriage. Other Democratic supporters claim Obama's decision could energize huge swaths of the party, including young people. He also could appeal to independent voters.
By day's end Wednesday, the Obama campaign had emailed a clip of the interview and a personal statement from the president to its vast list of supporters, drawing attention to his stance.
The decision also creates an area of clear contrast between Obama and his Republican rival as he argues that he's delivered on the change he promised four years ago.
Obama said he sometimes talks with college Republicans on his visits to campuses, and while they oppose his policies on the economy and foreign policy, "when it comes to same sex equality, or, you know, sexual orientation, that they believe in equality. They are more comfortable with it."
Maggie Gallagher, co-founder of the National Organization for Marriage and a leading supporter of the constitutional amendment approved in North Carolina on Tuesday, said she welcomed Obama's announcement at the same time she disagreed with it.
"Politically, we welcome this," she said. "We think it's a huge mistake. President Obama is choosing the money over the voters the day after 61 percent of North Carolinians in a key swing state demonstrated they oppose gay marriage."
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi instantly sought political gain from the president's announcement. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee issued an email in her name that asked recipients to "stand with President Obama." Such requests are often followed by a solicitation for campaign donations.
Obama said first lady Michelle Obama also was involved in his decision and joins him in supporting gay marriage.
"In the end, the values that I care most deeply about and she cares most deeply about is how we treat other people," he said.
Acknowledging that his support for same-sex marriage may rankle religious conservatives, Obama said he thinks about his faith in part through the prism of the Golden Rule - treating others the way you would want to be treated.
"That's what we try to impart to our kids and that's what motivates me as president and I figure the most consistent I can be in being true to those precepts, the better I'll be as a dad and a husband and hopefully the better I'll be as president," Obama said.
Six states - all in the Northeast except Iowa - and the District of Columbia allow same-sex marriages. In addition, two other states have laws that are not yet in effect and may be subject to referendums.
AP Deputy Director of Polling Jennifer Agiesta and Jessica Gresko in Washington and Philip Elliott in Colorado contributed to this report.
(CBS News) May 9, 2012 -
President Obama's position on same-sex marriage has evolved.
Three days after Vice President Joe Biden said he is "absolutely comfortable" with two men or two women getting married, Mr. Obama told ABC News in a hastily arranged interview that "Americans should be treated fairly and equally."
"I think same-sex couples should be able to get married," Mr. Obama said in an interview with Robin Roberts broadcast in a special report this afternoon. More from the interview will be broadcast tonight and tomorrow morning.
The president has previously said his position on the matter is "evolving."
Georgia Democrats' on Marriage Equality
Georgia – Mike Berlon, Chairman of the Democratic Party of Georgia, issues the following statement regarding President Barack Obama's view that couples who are in loving, committed relationships should be allowed to marry.
"Marriage equality is an important human rights issue. Love is not partisan. Everyone should have the opportunity to engage in a relationship that works for him or her regardless of sexual preference.
"It's no secret that the President has gone through some serious soul-searching on this. I am sure he has received input from many sources who deserve this support, including people in long-term relationships who have never had the security or certainty that comes with knowing the person you love will be protected if something happens to them. I am also sure that he has heard from many of our brave young men and women who serve in our armed forces, and for whom he fought so hard to end Don't Ask Don't Tell, as well as others from around the country.
"For many people, this is a difficult issue and opinions are strong on both sides.
"As an individual who has a family member that is in such a relationship, I've seen first-hand the obstacles and hurdles that have to be endured just to make the relationship work. It makes me very proud to see that the President recognizes the roadblocks to these relationships and is willing to advocate for equal rights for everyone. It's courageous and it's right.
"The Democratic Party of Georgia strongly stands with the LGBT community, the President and his administration, and with all Georgians who believe that we should treat others the way we'd want to be treated. That is not a democratic principle. It's about human dignity.
"It's simply wrong to prevent couples who are in loving, committed relationships, from marrying."

May 31, 2016
Former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue has overturned the suspensions of four current and former New Orleans Saints players in the league's bounty investigation of the club.
Tagliabue, however, found that the players' conduct was detrimental to the league. He says they participated in a performance pool that rewarded key plays, including hard tackles, that could justify fines.
But the former commissioner said Tuesday that "this entire case has been contaminated by the coaches and others in the Saints' organization."
Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma initially had been suspended the whole season, while Saints defensive end Will Smith, Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita and free agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove received shorter suspensions.

Confessions of a Las Vegas Hotel Hopper

Every woman's labor is unique, even from one pregnancy to the next. In some cases, labor is over in a matter of hours. In other cases, labor tests a mother's physical and emotional stamina.
You won't know how your labor will unfold until it happens. You can prepare, however, by understanding the typical sequence of events.
The first stage of labor occurs when the cervix opens (dilates) and thins out (effaces) to allow the baby to move into the birth canal. This is the longest of the three stages of labor. It's actually divided into two phases of its own — early labor and active labor.
Early labor
During early labor, your cervix will begin to dilate. You'll feel mild contractions during early labor. They will typically last 30 to 90 seconds and come at regular intervals. Near the end of early labor, your contractions will likely be less than five minutes apart.
As your cervix begins to open, you might notice a brown or blood-tinged discharge from your vagina. This is likely the mucus plug that blocks the cervical opening, also known as bloody show.
How long it lasts: Early labor is unpredictable. For first-time moms, the average length of early labor is six to 12 hours. It's often much shorter for subsequent deliveries.
What you can do: Until your contractions increase in frequency and intensity, it's up to you. For many women, early labor isn't particularly uncomfortable. You might feel like doing household chores, taking a walk or watching a movie — or you might simply continue your daily activities.
To promote comfort during early labor:
Active labor
Now it's time for the real work to begin. During active labor, your cervix will dilate to 10 centimeters (cm). Your contractions will become stronger, longer, closer together and regular. Your legs might cramp, and you might feel nauseous. You might feel your water break — if it hasn't already. You might feel increasing pressure in your back as well. If you haven't headed to your labor and delivery facility yet, now's the time.
Don't be surprised if your initial excitement wanes as your labor progresses and the pain intensifies. Don't feel that you're giving up if you ask for pain medication or anesthesia. Your health care team will partner with you to make the best choice for you and your baby. Remember, you're the only one who can judge your need for pain relief.
How long it lasts: Active labor often lasts up to eight hours. For some women, active labor lasts hours longer. For others — especially those who've had a previous vaginal delivery — active labor is much shorter.
What you can do: Look to your labor coach and health care team for encouragement and support. Try breathing and relaxation techniques to combat your growing discomfort. Use what you learned in childbirth class or ask your health care team for suggestions.
To promote comfort during active labor:
The lst part of active labor — often referred to as transition — can be particularly intense. If you feel the urge to push but you're not fully dilated, your health care provider might ask you to hold back. Pushing too soon could cause your cervix to swell, which might delay delivery. Pant or blow your way through the contractions.
It's time! You'll deliver your baby during the second stage of labor.
How long it lasts: It can take from a few minutes up to a few hours or more to push your baby into the world. It often takes longer for first-time moms and women who've had an epidural.
What you can do: Push! You might be encouraged to push with each contraction to speed the process. Or you might take it more slowly, letting nature do the work until you feel the urge to push.
When you push, don't hold tension in your face. Bear down and concentrate on pushing where it counts. Experiment with different positions until you find one that feels best. You can push while squatting, sitting, kneeling — even on your hands and knees.
At some point, you might be asked to push more gently — or not at all. Slowing down gives your vaginal tissues time to stretch rather than tear. To stay motivated, you might ask to feel the baby's head between your legs or see it in a mirror.
After your baby's head is delivered, his or her airway will be cleared and your health care provider will make sure the umbilical cord is free. The rest of your baby's body will follow shortly.

Business Wire Sacramento hosted a panel discussion last week with four distinguished Sacramento area journalists who discussed methods of reporting technology, business and real estate stories in the region and on a national level.
The panelists (from left to right) were:
- Joe Barr, News Director, Capital Public Radio (CPR)
- Chad Vander Veen, Associate Editor, Government Technology Magazine
- Melanie Turner, Tech Reporter, Sacramento Business Journal
- Jim Wasserman, Real Estate Reporter, The Sacramento Bee
The panelists discussed some of the trends in their industries, including:
- Mr. Barr says CPR has recently been doing "incidental business coverage," as the economy and housing are of major importance to their listeners. CPR is interested in how individuals are being affected by the economy.
- Mr. Veen notes that, despite being a monthly publication, Government Technology is constantly looking for stories to print online as a complement to their print edition. Because of these online opportunities, they are becoming more diversified. They are interested in how city, county or state agencies are trying to run more efficiently to better serve their constituents. They are also interested in where stimulus money is being spent.
- Ms. Turner says the SBJ is interested in topics like how companies are cutting costs and how business is changing with the aging population.
- Mr. Wasserman says one major focus with the Bee recently is "greentech," which includes solar power, venture capital behind green tech, green construction, green fuels and green transportation.
When asked "How can PR professionals make your job easier?," some of the responses included:
- Ask "Is this really news worthy?" Distinguish between internal news that your company would find of interest versus general news that appeals to a greater audience.
- Put reporters in direct touch with someone at the company.
- Video! Panelists all agreed that video can really enhance a story.
- Finding the human angle, particularly how one person is being affected by something.
All the panelists noted that they usually need at least two people to verify a tip. They prefer pitches via email, versus fax or phone, and they are all also on Twitter Facebook and write active blogs for their outlets.
Local Business Wire offices host several events each year on PR, IR and media topics. Check out the Business Wire Events page to find upcoming events in your area.

Sioux City Police Investigate Pedestrian-Vehicle Accident
(Sioux City) -- Sioux City Police are investigating a pedestrian-vehicle accident that occurred yesterday afternoon at South Lakeport and Southern Hills Drive shortly after 4:00 p.m. Upon arrival, police located 80 year old Grace Hutchinson of Winnipeg, Manitoba, lying just off the roadway in a median, unconscious but breathing, and had sustained a blunt force to the head. Hutchinson was immediately transported to Mercy Medical Center where she is currently listed in stable condition. The driver of that accident was said to be 23 year old David Milos of Sioux City. Alcohol and drugs are not suspected to be a factor in the incident, nor is speeding.

Des Moines, Dallas, and Seattle.
Six cities regularly made less than two-thirds of their annual recommended contributions. They include Chicago, Omaha, and Portland, Ore.
Pew examined pensions in 61 cities - the most populous one in each state - plus all others with populations over 500,000.
It used data for 2007 through 2009, the most recent available.

Peay Governors as they earned an 84-81 overtime Ohio Valley Conference win
over the Morehead State Eagles at the Dunn Center.
Triggs went 7-of-9 from the field for the Governors (5-12, 1-2 OVC), who

5-of-18 from the floor. Anthony Campbell added 14 points and seven rebounds
while Thomas Greer managed 11 points off the bench.
Bakari Turner scored 19 points and led four teammates in double figures as the
Eagles (8-9, 2-1) saw their three-game winning streak come to a close. Drew

and Maurice Lewis-Briggs (10 points, eight rebounds) all scored in double
figures while Chad Posthumus recorded a double-double with 10 points and the
same number of rebounds.
Austin Peay led 39-20 at halftime after holding the Eagles to 27.6 percent
shooting in the first half while converting 45.2 percent of its own attempts
from the floor.
In the second half, Morehead State outscored the Governors 52-33 and a layup
by Kelly with two seconds left tied the game 77-77 to send it to overtime.

|Wieland explains state trapping requirements
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
By Jack Wieland, Colorado Division of Wildlife, DWM
The passing of Amendment 14 in 1996 by 52 percent of Colorado's voters changed how wildlife can be taken in Colorado by restricting the use of leghold traps, body-grip (conibear) traps, snares, nets and poisons.
This amendment still allows landowners the ability to remove birds and wild and domestic rodents (except beaver and muskrat) by the restricted methods listed above. For example, homeowners may still use mouse and rat traps and poisons.
There are also four limited exemptions to the amendment which allow the ability to:
1) control wildlife damage to commercial crops and livestock on private land by allowing landowners to trap for a 30-day period on one land parcel per calendar year;
2) protect human health and safety by a Health Dept.;
3) take wildlife for bonifide scientific research, falconry, live relocation or medical treatment of the animal;
4) manage fish and non-mammalian aquatic wildlife by the Division of Wildlife.
The most complaints I receive at this time of year deal with coyotes and calves. How does this amendment apply to the rancher with coyote problems during calving season or the landowners with coyotes visiting their poultry houses? In order for a rancher or landowner to legally trap, snare or poison coyotes that are causing damage, a series of events must take place first before the trapper is called.
First, the rancher/landowner must try other reasonable methods to alleviate the problem. These methods depend on the locations of the animals to be protected and include, but are not limited to: strategically placed lights, motion sensor lights, sirens or radios, protection dogs, calling and shooting, etc.
If these methods are not successful, the rancher/landowner must contact the local District Wildlife Manager (DWM) in writing within 10 days. The letter must state they are having coyote problems and need a trapper to assist them. Once the letter is received, the DWM will issue the rancher/landowner a trapping permit that will be good for a 30-day period on one contiguous parcel of land, per year.
After the trapping period is complete, the trapper will need to tell the rancher/landowner how many animals were removed. This information is then placed on the trapping permit and mailed to the issuing DWM.
The trapper has many restrictions to follow as required by the Dept. of Agriculture regulations, which detail the legal use of padded jaw leg hold traps, passive-nonmechanical foot snares, conibear style kill traps, live traps and registered poisons.
There are also special conditions regarding anchor chains, pan tension, stops on non-lethal snares, breakaway poundage on lethal snares and specific location information where traps can't be placed.
If you have questions about coyote trapping or would like to confirm that you are in compliance, please contact me at 970-854-3512.

Poor service and poor employee morale
April 12, 2016
I'm so disappointed with this place, I'm going to try avoiding Candlewood Suites in the future.
Not only are employees lacking basic customer service training, they are not treated with respect by management.
The room labeled "employee break room", was not a break room at all and guest were told to leave dirty towels out side the door!
The place needs some TLC, and employees have to explain customers why things are in poor repair.
I'd hate to work there!
My be that is why some front desk employees were so unwelcoming.
Great Place

Techniques to get over writers block?
I have been working on my solo album for about 11 months now, and lately I have had my friends come over to help me on some verses that I will feature them on, one of my friends is an amazing freestyle rapper, the other one has a great delivery but like me must write lyrics down and measure out the delivery.
I have noticed when I work with them if I have a writers block and they lay a couple bars together of vocals or a guitar riff it sparks a new light in my brain and gets me going again, also so does a drinking game we play. we each say a sentance and the next person follows up with a sentance with an end rhyme, the person who looses takes a drink, either way we all end up winning.
When im by myself I just explore the internet for inspiration, and this forum seems to be a great source of information as well.
I was just wondering, what do you do to get out of a writers block slump, what type of music do you normally compose?

I mentioned in another post, develop a mind-map of how you are going to write, draw it out by hand and use some tools. I use a spinner to help me come of with variations, the tool suggest a number of synonyms that help you overcome over used words when you are writing. How many ways can you write; Woke up this morning..
Your conscious mind is very creative and analytical at the same time when you are writing, stop it from being analytical while you are being creative. If you can write your life with every second you live, that's all you would be doing is' writing

DALE CITY, Va. (WUSA) -- Prince William County police say a driver has been charged after a police officer was involved in a crash in the Gideon Road and Smoketown Road area near Potomac Mills on Friday morning.
Police say an officer was headed westbound on Opitz Boulevard in his cruiser when 50-year-old Nuii Aryee Mensah of Woodbridge ignored a red light at the intersection with Gideon Drive and hit the cruiser. At impact, the officer lost consciousness but regained it again while at the scene, according to police.
The officer was flown to a hospital and treated for her injuries. She has been released from the hospital, say police.
Mensah was not injured.
Police say they later determined Mensah's car had faulty brakes. Mensah has been charged with reckless driving - bad brakes and released on a summons. Mensah has a court date scheduled for February 13.

What is PST root folder, why aren't the messages importing into Inbox/sent, etc?
I'd hate to think about moving these 1000's of messages 100-at-a-time (maximum messages per pane). Is there a better way to get these into inbox?

Brackins could possibly be the most overrated freshman at ISU. I thought G-Mac should of seen what CJ or someone could do just to give Brackins a rest. Ofcourse he has tons of talent and potential, but needs to bulk up and choose shots wisely. Id love to see him go off in upcoming games and make me eat my words.
I wouldn't say the most overrated... however I think he needs to realize he is a PF and play as so. Crash the boards, provide an inside scoring presence, go to the hoop strong in order to get the other team in fould trouble etc. The Baylor game may have been a bad gaem for his development he is consistently sitting on the 3-point line now looking for a shot.

And we said the exact same thing about Fizer at this point. And then he blew up his sophmore year. Plus we have no guards to actually get him the ball in a postion to score. Diante started really slow, and now is starting to shine. Give it some time.

Come on guys...he's a freshman and the most highly rated in school history. This guy will lead us to success. Give us a decent shooter and point guard and we're in the top of the pack. Don't blame Brack. We just don't have all the pieces yet.
I was just thinking that he's much better than Taggert at the same point in time (probably not fair because Taggert was sick) and better than Fizer when he as a freshman.
The other thing I was thinking about was that I believe the year before our run to the Regional final we weren't very good, and adding a creator at point guard solved the puzzle.
Please Tyrone, pick us

I like most of what I'm reading here.
It just takes time. Let's be patient. It's going to be just fine
I should say, I do a lot of teaching and training, and it's hard for people (the ones being trained, too) to see progress when they're in the process. But, the growth doesn't happen without the time to learn and develop, which tends to involve making mistakes. A lot of those are mistakes where the person really does know better, but just makes that mistake because they fall back into their natural, untrained response.
Sorry, getting ready to teach this morning. Got a little excited there...........
Brackins will be a force next year. I just don't know if he will bring us what we need down low. He almost seems like a guard trapped in a big mans body.
I think if ISU wants to see success then we need a true post player with Brackins playing as the 4 man and letting him playing both inside and out.
Brackins could be very hard to deal with in the future if he can take his man to the hole everytime. He will cause some match up problems b/c there are not a lot of 6-10 guys that have handles. So my point is that we are still a true post player short and that we need to be patient with CB. He will be unstoppable in the future. We just have to give him some time.
See earlier thread from last night.
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.
I think coaching of big men is lacking here

Agree. Diante is showing great improvement already, and he really adds that penetration element to the offense when he's on the floor. But damn, he really needs to hit the weights.
Brackins is a great talent. He just needs time to develop into his role as a bigman. It takes time!
Boys its NOT Brackins Brackins Brackins it NO Guards Guards Guards!!!!...Until gmac gets "GUARDS" its just gonna be more of the same....Losing to teams that we should be able to beat at Hilton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I 100% disagree with that. If you watched Jiri at all under Morgan, you would see that Morgan has made him 3x the player he was then. If Craig improves under GMac at the same rate Jiri did, he will be something really special. G-Mac is a heck of a coach of big men.
Sorry to bring everyone down, I do not have hope for this program. You have to try and lose a 13 point second half lead at home (IN HILTON FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!)
No post season this year and I give ISU a 20% next year. Things are not looking good at Hilton right now. I sure hope JP has a solid BB coach in his back pocket. JP, in my eyes is 50%. Great job with Cael and football. Not so good with basketball and the logo we all got to "choose."
He can shoot. However, when he misses it is always short with not a chance to bounce around on the rim Not good. Better to overshoot and hope to bank in.
He needs to learn to block out people better real soon for KSU and KU. Or AT will get more time.

Gardening calendar
Gardening jobs
Garden type
Pruning is an important way of improving the growth and flowering of trees and shrubs.
November is the ideal month to take stock of your garden. This is because the ground still retains plenty of warmth, allowing new plants to settle quickly and develop roots before winter. Planting in autumn gives new plants a head start of almost an entire growing season.
In November there is still so much to enjoy in the garden! We see evergreen leaves, trees and shrubs with their beautiful coloured berries, trees with a special bark – what excitement in the November garden!
In this month when it is damp outside you can still enjoy flower bulbs and plants indoors. So by the end of November the first flower bulbs (that were forced in October) can be moved into the lounge.
Your kitchen garden in November can still look beautiful with lovely winter colours! You can still harvest and enjoy the last of your homegrown produce.
We have listed a few gardening tips which will help you in the garden this month.
Outdoor grape vines enter their dormant period this month, so you can begin with the maintenance pruning, also called winter pruning, in January. This is not only necessary to maintain the shape of the plant, it also ensures a good yield (fruitwood pruning).
'Flower bulb 'is actually a collective name for plants under the ground that grow from a bulb, corm or Rhizome. This month is a great time to plant flower bulbs. Flower bulbs that bloom in the spring bring life with their beautiful colours to your garden after the winter.
There are as many as 500 species of Allium (ornamental onions), some more unusual in shape, but each has its own beauty.
Autumn is the time to plant up your spring flowering bulbs so that you can look forward to a bright and cheerful garden in the spring – just what you need after a dull and cold winter. If the soil temperature drops it's time to get planting.

The rampant virus that has struck the ATP + WTA Tour's this season has taken down another victim: David Nalbandian.
The Argentine was to compete in his country's Davis Cup tie versus the Netherlands but the virus, which effected him during his first round loss in Acapulco last week, continued to linger. Nalby could be replaced by Juan Martin del Potro in Buenos Aires this weekend.
Last week, Andy Murray was forced out of Dubai because of a virus which has bothered him since the Aussie Open; Jelena Jankovic was hit by the flu in January during the JB Group Classic in Hong Kong; and Victoria Azarenka walked away mid-match from her fourth round tussle with eventual champ Serena Williams in Oz because of sickness due to a virus.
So, what the hell is going on with this mystery virus? And more importantly how's it being spread around?? Inquiring minds would definitely like to know.
In any case ballers, wash your hands regularly, don't stick your (or anyone else's) fingers in your mouth, and above all else don't kiss anyone questionable - well, at least get their name and medical history first.

It seems Marat Safin may have seen his last Aussie Open.
The towering Russian confirmed he has most likely played his final match in Melbourne during his post-match presser after falling to Roger Federer 3-6, 2-6, 6-7 (5) in the third round:
Q. Do we have a chance to see you back here next year?And what is Marat planning for his post-tennis life?
MARAT SAFIN: I doubt it. I really doubt it. I really doubt it.
Q. How does it make you feel to be saying good‑bye to Grand Slam events?
MARAT SAFIN: I don't like this bye‑bye part. It's just a sad story. It's not for me. I prefer to leave this way, quietly, nice, with a great match.
Unfortunately, I couldn't do better than that, three sets. But anyway, I lost today probably to the better player, one of the greatest ones in the history of tennis. I really hope for him to be so I can tell the story to my kids that I played with him. I think it's a nice story.
Q. What would it take to change your mind about walking away from tennis?
MARAT SAFIN: Nothing. I've been already too many years. I want to change and do something else. I'm ready for that. It's been a nice trip. It's enough.
Q. Do you know what that something else is?
MARAT SAFIN: Yeah, but I'll keep it to myself for the moment. I would love to do that. I'm ready.
Regal Rog expressed his thoughts on the 2-time Grand Slammer and his pending retirement after the match:
He brings something different to the tennis world with his character, the way he is on the court and the way he is off the court. He's larger than life. I respect him for what a competitor he is. I hope it's not the last one tonight.Oh what a sad day it will be when Marat hangs up his racquets for good. He's enigmatic, frustrating, colorful, exasperating, and entertaining all wrapped up in a sexy 6' 5" frame.
He'll be sorely missed. *wears sad face*

(Sports Network) - The Milwaukee Bucks hope to continue their fine form on
Tuesday night when they visit The Palace of Auburn Hills to meet the Central
Division-rival Detroit Pistons.
The Bucks have won four of their last five, including two on the road. They
lost their last road outing, a 113-108 setback at Cleveland to the Cavaliers,
but rebounded Saturday night with a home victory over the Golden State
The spectacular backcourt of Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings played
brilliantly on Saturday night. They both scored 20 points and combined for 11
assists and 10 rebounds.
Ellis buried a late 3-pointer against his old squad to seal the win, but
Jennings' 18 third-quarter points made a huge difference.
"We needed to score, so (Jennings) came out in the second half and did what he
needed to do for our team," interim head coach Jim Boylan said.
Larry Sanders extended his blocks streak to 29 games, which tied Tim Duncan
for the longest active streak in the league. Sanders also had 16 points and 11
rebounds. Ersan Ilyasova recorded 18 points and 12 boards.
A win on Tuesday would send the Bucks five games over .500 for the first time
this season. Milwaukee plays four of its next six on the road.
The Pistons capped off a three-game road trip with a wild 104-102 win in
Orlando on Sunday night. It was thanks to a career night from Brandon Knight
the Pistons avoided an 0-3 trek.
Knight made two late 3-pointers, which gave him five for the game, and he
poured in a career-best 31 points. Knight went 12-for-16 from the field as the
Pistons survived a slew of last-second putbacks by the Magic.
"The ball bounces funny sometimes and you have to get some of those bounces
and make some of those effort plays," said Knight. "I have to commend my
teammates for making those effort plays towards the end of the game.
"I have to commend my teammates who did a great job of looking for me and
seeing I was making shots. A lot of it came from them trying to create for
Greg Monroe, Charlie Villanueva and Kyle Singler each scored in double
The Pistons have won two in a row at home, where they will play eight of
the next 11.
Detroit has won both matchups this season against Milwaukee, with one at home
and one in Brew City. The teams have split the last six meetings.
