|Markey visits school; answers tough questions
|Written by April Peregoy
Obviously worried about what kind of economic situation the current generation in power will leave them, Holyoke junior high and high schoolers had some tough questions for Congresswoman Betsy Markey when she addressed them at an assembly Monday afternoon, April 6.
Having recently been elected to her position as representative of Colorado's fourth district, Markey told the student body the last few months have been a whirlwind for her and her staff. Because of her busy schedule, she admitted many letters and emails she has received have yet to be read and addressed, and she is using her week off from Congress to travel across the district and meet with residents to hear their concerns directly.
One reason she is visiting high schoolers across the district, she added, is because of Ault High School, whose students have sent her 40-50 letters since she took office. Rather than answering through a letter, she decided to address high schoolers directly.
"High schoolers ask great questions, too," she said. "Sometimes, much better than adults."
Markey then guided the students through her typical day in Washington, D.C. Beginning at 8 a.m., she said, she holds breakfast meetings with her staff and/or other public officials, and is usually in committee meetings during the rest of her day, except when called to vote.
Voting in the House of Representatives, said Markey, is not done by raising hands or yelling, like many people imagine. Instead, each member of Congress has their own card, which looks very similar to a credit card. On the seat in front of them is a slot for the card, which is inserted when House members are ready to vote. They then must choose between a green button for "yes" or red button for "no."
On the wall of the chamber is a list of all the Congress members' names. Next to each name, either a red or green light will come on when that rep. has cast a vote, showing how each member voted.
Recently, said Markey, the House has been busy working on the stimulus package. The current House of Reps., she added, has four areas of emphasis it wants to address. They include investing in education, affordable healthcare for everyone, reducing the country's dependence on foreign oil and cutting the nation's deficit.
Allowing time for the students to ask her a few questions, Markey was hit with demands to explain how more spending is supposed to get the country out of the current economic recession, and if she was worried about causing inflation by doing so.
Markey replied the recession is the result of the government's former hands-off approach to business. "We have to do something or the recession will become a depression," she said.
The key, she continued, is to target the spending and invest it in areas like transportation and energy, which badly need the funding anyway and will provide more jobs. She noted she does not approve of the bailouts that were given out, particularly those to the auto industry, as they were handed out with no regulations on how the money should be spent.
Markey also pointed out she did vote against the last budget, saying it was too big and there were areas in which she felt spending could be cut. However, she added, Americans spend more than $789 billion every year on foreign oil. The stimulus package, at least, more aggressively attempts to put an end to America's energy crisis so that money can be put back into the economy.
One other issue addressed by female students was the female-to-male ratio in Congress. When asked how many women are in Congress, Markey replied 17 percent. "That's actually higher than any Congress in the past," she said.
When asked why she thinks the ratio is so low, Markey answered that positions of power in government have traditionally been held by men, and the process of changing that perspective has been slow. Also, many women choose to put their political careers on hold to raise families. "I chose not to run for Congress until my kids were grown," she added.
As a way to end the assembly on a positive note and to reassure the audience, Markey had this to say about the recession: "We are a country that bounces back; we are a country of entrepreneurs, and we will bounce back from this recession."

Members of Eastmans have left and went to other mags.
I got the new western hunter magazine in the mail the other day. I don't subscribe to it, but have bought stuff from the outdoorsman.
This has got to be the best western hunter mag to date. But it looks like western hunter has either copied eastmans and hired people from eastmans.
Or the 2 companies teamed up.
so which is it?
Love the sheep section of eastmans. Always a favorite.
Members of Eastmans have left and went to other mags.
Yeah it seems like all of my favorite eastmans editors have gone to different magazines like Western Hunter and Elk Hunter Magazine.
Ryan Hatfield and Nate Simmons went to Elk Hunter Magazine which makes me really mad. David Long left also which is a serious dissapointment. The only editors I recognize now are Adam Bender and South Cox. Seems like Eastmans has a tendency to lose excellent editors like Cameron Hanes for example. Its too bad. I can only imagine a magazine with David Long, Nate Simmons, Ryan Hatfield, and Cameron Hanes. That would be awesome!
Not sure why that is but I agree they have lost some good talent. Eastmans is still the best IMO and with Guy and Ike at the helm it will always stay that way. Others will copy but the original will always be on top!
I just happy I now have 4 really great mags to look forward too!
I've noticed some real problems with Eastman's editing recently ... at least, the proof-reading / spelling / grammar.
I'd be glad to trade some of my time for just compensation!
DIY til I DIE
I just wish them all the best in their endeavors. I'm sure there were all sorts of reasons for folks moving on but for the most part I'll gather they wanted to move onward to advance their careers.
I was happy to hear Elk Hunter magazine Backcountry Editor, Nate Simmons, has gone through in painstaking detail and shared his detailed backpacking list for the current issue of Elk Hunter Magazine. It's always good to hear current thoughts and innovation as they transpire. I love the backcountry hunting.
I'm hoping they all, Eastmans', Elk Hunter Magazine and Western Hunter Magazine will all be successful publications. I'm hoping that phrase, "The More The Merrier" will hold true.

They have really made some changes to western hunter. I didnt like it much untill last issue. I signed up for elk hunter (mostly because of Ryan Hatfield) at our show and sofar only western hunter showed up in my mail box.
You're not the only one to notice that. Spelling/grammar mistakes are a pet peeve of mine, and lately, every article has four or five blatant errors. It pains me to read them sometimes. I guess that's a byproduct of the texting generation. I'm not even sure that grammar is taught in schools these days. It's just sad to see our language degrading like that.

52nd Annual Starbird's Wichita Show - Kustom City Goes Truckin'Written by on May 1, 2009 Starbird's 52nd Annual Wichita Show
For the past few years we have pointed our compass due east to check out the Darryl Starbird National Rod and Custom Car Show in Wichita, Kansas. As it turns out, the city so entrenched in custom cars also has a knack for churning up some of the raddest trucks we come across.
As we made our way through the front gates we were curious to see what the 52nd annual 2009 show had to offer. After all, we were a bit curious (and should we say worried?) to see what the weekend held, given the economic downfall in recent months. However, as we parted our way through customs, rods, motorcycles, and the like to seek all that has a bed out back we quickly realized that the ever so popular--and rising--truck craze will not be slowed down. For we saw more trucks at this year's event than any previous Starbird show we had been to. Even more surprising, pleasantly surprising we must add, is the fact that 80 percent of all trucks in attendance were nothing we had seen before. On top of that, the quality and creativity of trucks in attendance was far and above what we had seen in the past. Hard times baloney, this show was just another example of undeniable proof that the hot rod truck world will not go quietly into the night.
Besides being engulfed with trucks, the show had plenty else to offer: rods, customs, bikes, and the like. In the middle of the show was also a freestyle motorcross exhibition. These crazy guys set up a 20-foot ramp with a 35-foot gap and jumped over cars. By the way, the ceiling was only 33 feet high, and these guys were backing off the throttle to keep their jumps at near 30 feet in the air. All we can say is we're glad we're into trucks and not highflying motocross kamikaze missions. Anyways, check out this years offering to the truck gods, and if you're interested in next year's extravaganza call direct at (918) 257-4234 or visit www.darrylstarbird.com.

One of the wildest C10's we've ever seen is this Auto Artistry-built '67 owned by Jarod and Holly Haselhorst. The truck features an '02 GMC Sierra engine, transmission, and frame. Auto Artistry also fabricated the custom front bumper, rear roll pan, bed steps, and interior. Did we mention it's also been chopped two inches?Not only did this dude build an exact duplicate of the horse-drawn carriage that carried Wild Bill Hickock to the grave, but he even plays the part of the undertaker!
Raylund and Darren Peterman's '55 Ford is one bad machine. Underneath the sleek exterior lies a four-link suspension, Mustang II frontend, boxed frame, and heavily chromed and detailed 351 Windsor with EFI, roller lifters and rockers, with GT-40 heads.It's always nice to see a Ford in a Ford combo, such as Richard and Nancy Bogelman's '56 F-100 with a 351 Cleveland. For comfortable cruising a Volare frontend has been installed.Once again we're not sure as to who owns this '41 Ford, but regardless we like it. Dig the louvered hood, custom Nerf bars, and chopped top.We're not sure who owns this F-100, but it was interesting to check out. Notice the late-model F-100 taillights nestled in the rear quarters.Last year Mike Schoech of Auto Artistry showed up with a fenderless '46 Chevy pickup. This year they brought out their latest hot rod pickup, a '41 Chevy truck.This creation pulls no stops with a removable hardtop, a 4-inch raked chop, 2-inch section job, custom bed, '39 Chevy grille, and much more.
They say dogs take after their owners, and we say trucks do the same. Just like the builder, Paul Shoate, his '49 Chevy truck is unique, interesting, and wild. Along with the amalgam of styling cues, Paul also leaves all his creations in bare metal, and lets the spectators sign his truck. Once home he shoots the truck in clear and calls it finished. However, there is one stipulation to signing the truck. No cussing, and stay away from the wheels and tires.Brad Mason, of Wichita, Kansas, added his own touch to his '68, including this unique approach to bed wood.This may not be a truck, but we're pretty sure it will strike the hearts of many-a-truck aficionado. How many of you guys remember building Monogram's 1/25th scale Lil' Coffin model as a kid? Well here's the real deal fresh from resurrection, with a life-size skeleton from the kit nonetheless!Not only does the simple styling of the Chevy look killer, but also can you figure out what that side emblem is off of? Ah ... we'll make it easy, a '57 Chevy. A nice fit, huh?Believe it or not, but this is actually a true shop truck. Best part is, it not only looks like the roots of low-buck hot rodding, it is. We noticed when it came time to back this Ford up, the driver had to hop out and man the reverse via a two-step.

Lady Bison Surge with Fourth Straight Win
With a season-best 74 percent outing from the free-throw line and a double-double of 24 points and 10 rebounds by Howard University women's basketball senior guard Saadia Doyle, the Lady Bison extended their winning streak to four straight games and tallied the first Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) win of the season on Dec. 3 against Delaware State (DSU) at Memorial Hall in Dover, Del.
With a score of 54-40, Howard advances to 4-4 on the season and 1-0 in the MEAC.
In the opening minutes of action Howard held Delaware State scoreless for a seven-minute stretch. Howard forced 17 DSU turnovers and as the game approached the end of the first half, attained a 13-point margin. On a short 10-9 DSU run, however, the Hornets reduced the margin to nine before heading to locker rooms for the halftime intermission.
Delaware State returned to the contest still surging from its first-half run, cutting the margin to four on a 12-7 run by the 14:03 mark of the second half.
On a 6-2 HU run, the Lady Bison regained their double-figure lead by the 9:58 mark before coasting to a 14-point victory.
"It was very important for us to come out strong in this first MEAC competition," said Howard's basketball head coach Niki Reid Geckeler. "DSU has a new coach, they were coming off a win to UMES [University Maryland-Eastern Shore] and we knew this game would be a battle."
Along with Doyle's double-double, senior guard Cheyenne Curley-Payne was a perfect two-for-two from the charity stripe, while finishing with eight points and six assists. Fellow senior Kara Smith scored nine points, as redshirt junior Jerrelle Gorham knocked in eight points.
"This season Kara has stepped up tremendously," said Geckeler. "She has hit some big time shots and can hit a big time shot when we need it. But, the surprise this season has been Jerrelle Gorham. Her offensive play has freed up things for Curley-Payne."
Collectively, HU shot 42 percent from the field, 29 percent from three-point line and 74 percent from the free-throw line.
"In our last few practice sessions, we have put more emphasis on free-throw shooting," said Geckeler. "We focused on both the mental aspect of free-throw shooting and building more muscle memory."
"These last three games of the season will give us strength as we head into 2013," said Geckeler. "We have to play 40 minutes of defense, which is our strength, and let the offense flow."
HU continues its road action with cross-city opponent George Washington on Dec. 15 and concluding with out-of-state adversaries Pepperdine University in Malibu, California on Dec. 21 and Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio on Dec. 30.

Do West Coast ports meet your needs? How well do they perform?
October 29, 2010
If you import or export via U.S. West Coast ports, then researchers of the Port Performance Research Network, chaired at Dalhousie University, want to hear from you.
The Network is seeking feedback from ports' customers and stakeholders about their experiences with five U.S. west coast ports. Researchers want to understand how users evaluate the ports they use, and what aspects of port services are most important to them.
Participants in the study are asked to rate the importance of various performance criteria and then use those criteria to evaluate the ports they actually use. When the research is completed, the results will be used to design a port effectiveness survey that will be used throughout the world.
If you are interested, and you have personal experience with U.S. West Coast port' in the last year, please visit the study's website and take the anonymous survey. It requires about 20 minutes to complete. The survey ultimately will help to guide ports in improving the quality of their services, which will be a significant benefit to ports' customers. We believe it will be time well spent.

COLUMBUS -- February was a pretty good month for the state's casinos.
The Ohio Casino Control Commission reports that gross revenue for the state's four gaming palaces increased from $53.2 million in January to $55.5 million last month. That's a 4 percent gain.
The state's first "racino" - Scioto Downs south of Columbus - also had a good month. Its reported revenue of $11 million in February was an increase of more than 8 percent over the previous month.
Revenues for the Cleveland casino rose 6.7 percent last month, while the Toledo casino saw a 3.3 percent gain. The Columbus casino saw a gain of just more than 1 percent.
The state's fourth voter-approved casino - in Cincinnati - opened March 4.

NEW YORK (AP) -- New York City officials say the Boston Marathon bombing suspects intended to blow up their remaining explosives in Times Square.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly spoke at a briefing Thursday. Kelly says the two suspects had a pressure cooker bomb and five pipe bombs they wanted to set off.
They said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told Boston investigators from his hospital bed that he and his brother had discussed going to New York to detonate their remaining explosives. They said they decided it spontaneously.
Kelly had said a day earlier that the Boston Marathon bombing suspects were targeting New York, but was later briefed by federal officials.
Tsarnaev traveled to New York at least once last fall. There is a photo of the suspect in Times Square.
Tsarnaev's older brother, Tamerlan , died in a shootout with police.

Saints Row: The Third
An aerial assault on an enemy gang penthouse to the tune of Kanye West's 'Power'.
I have no idea how or exactly why I'm sky-diving into this penthouse...
Zombie outbreaks, virtual reality, purple sextoys...a healthy dose of the entire game really.
Saints Row 2 carved out a niche in the open-world crime genre, standing apart from the more dramatic and realistic portrayal of urban crime that we got with Grand Theft Auto IV. Now its time for the sequel and Volition have offered something packed to bursting point with sexually suggestive weapons, crude humour, and a button entirely dedicated to crotch punches. Its the kind of game that actively encourages you to take off all of your clothes and prowl the street with a giant purple sex-toy; the kind of game that takes a self-aware delight in just how crazy and ridiculous it can be. Unfortunately this hyper-dose of the obscene also comes at the expense of cohesion, and the impressive spectacle that the game otherwise excels at is hampered at times by underwhelming writing and a very obvious lack of focus.
After a bank robbery gone wrong youre dropped into the city of Steelport, another concrete jungle of twisting highways, docks, and sky-scrapers. Its a new city in layout but not in tone, with nothing practically changing between the local in the last game. Steelport is nice enough, with your typical New York sandbox giving the player a few changes of urban scenery, but in all honesty Im finding that the setting is getting old now. Steelport serves as a backdrop to all the madness in the game, but never does the setting feel anything other than incidental, feeling more like the playground than it is than the living city it should be.
ropped in this new city and with a rival organisation gunning to ruin The Saints new media empire, you have to start out from scratch and tear down all who oppose you. Its essentially the same story from the last two game where youre progress revolves around recruiting a cast of useful side-characters and then eroding the influence of the rival gangs.
Each mission is staged as a way to disrupt another gangs operations and this being Saints Row theyre usually done in the most violently gratifying way possible. Throughout the games campaign youll be put in control of fighter jets, given access to predator drones and air strikes, go into a Tron-inspired virtual reality showdown and base-jump into an enemy penthouse to the tune of Kanye Wests Power. I was constantly and pleasantly surprised by just how far the game goes to surprise you, and if youre looking for absurdity then Saints Row: The Third will deliver in spades. This isnt without its drawbacks though.
The game can put you in a scenario thats thrilling and absurd in equal measure, but they often suffer from a lack of context. The missions are a good length but feel far too compartmentalised. Youre driving to a building, hit a checkpoint, and now youre waking up in captivity with only the most cursory piece of exposition to link the two. Saints Row: The Third does often deliver on thrill, but its lack of inner-mission focus is reflected in the story as a whole. Reasons for performing these gloriously excessive tasks are often hard to come by and by around the half way mark I stopped really caring why I was doing any of this.
Take the gangs for instance. There are three who youll have to vie with for control of Steelport, each one suitably unique, but they prove to be a wasted opportunity. Antagonists are introduced and barely expanded on before ducking out of the action and their individual mission lines feel stunted and inconsequential in the grand scheme. Just roll with it seems to be the games excuse, and while I was willing to suspend disbelief and experience every separate shooting gallery as simple exercises in gameplay and spectacle, the Saints over the top antics would have been all the more gratifying for letting me see the necessity of them. Saints Row: The Third tells a stock story with a varied cast of fairly interesting characters, but fails in its deliverance.
While theres weak storytelling and little cohesion to bind them, the missions are well paced from a gameplay perspective, if not from a narrative one. Saints Row: The Third controls adequately though not impeccably. A lack of a cover system means youll have to manually manage your crouching and use scenery to your advantage, while whittling down the hordes of gang members. A few new control options raise the bar in other areas though. Sprinting while attempting to carjack sends your character fly-kicking through the windshield and into the drivers seat, while a running melee attack will activate a quick but satisfying takedown. A handful of QTE sequences enhances the visual spectacle, but at the expense of your control. Vehicles handle better, with a challenging and satisfying learning curve behind them which made driving from A to B a pleasure. Control never shines on its own merits, but altogether is sharp enough to get you through the missions and the various sandbox distractions without getting in your way.
Absurdity is the calling card of Saints Row: The Third and nothing helps reinforce this more than the amount of customisation. There are a pleasing number of body and clothing options, though the customisation has been slightly scaled back this time around. You can opt to have your character speak in zombie growls, pimp out a mega-mixer in classic Saints purple with gold trim or sprint around dressed as a Japanese cat mascot. All of the customisation options serve to underline the silliness that the game builds itself on. On one side-mission I had to find a golf buggy to draw out a target, so I phoned in my customised purple/gold cart with wheel spikes and nitro and tore up the city dressed like a deranged Willy Wonka. Scripted diversions including trail-blazing, insurance fraud and the bizarre Professor Genkis Reality Climax offer some mild distractions, though the majority of them are lifted from Saints Row 2. They quickly get punishing but the reward of more money and respect actually has some meaning in this world.
Respect is used as a levelling system, rather than locking off sections of the story like in earlier games. You can use your cash to buy cosmetic items and ammo, but most of your mission bounty ends up being spent on upgrades, ensuring that to progress you need to invest yourself in some of the secondary activities. The economy toes the balance between having to grind to buy items and having the in-game currency completely meaningless. The upgrades start slow 25% more sprint, fast damage recovery, more ammo capacity but the later perks can make you partly invulnerable for a massive investment. Its good to see that a sandbox incentivises itself and gives the player a reason and reward above and beyond the thrill of participation. Driving an enraged tiger around the city while trying to avoid traffic is fun, but becomes all the more worthwhile when you know youll be able to upgrade your crib into a purple neon lit skyscraper with the reward.
Bottom Line:
This is a game thats here to make all your absurd dreams come true at once, and for that its a fun and varied romp with lots of extras, and story missions that offer some brilliant set-pieces. While the games control and combat is nothing to particularly write home about its the complete absence of pacing thats the biggest detriment. The game obviously seems custom built to be a great big stupid playground for you to fuck around in, but too often does it retain that artificial feeling, never managing to make the leap to a cohesive world. A handful of frequent graphical glitches further undermines this. Saints Row: The Third is best described as a big, stupid, fun game. Its certainly not got the intelligence or satirical edge of its contemporary, but the sheer number of unique toys that are eagerly pressed into your hands means there are plenty of unique, water-cooler moments to be had in Steelport. The writing might be pedestrian, the city samey and the pace non-existent but Saints Row: The Third is a game that lets you cruise the streets on a military hover bike, dressed as a cockney superhero, firing a gun that summon sharks, and for that I cant help but applaud it.
Final Score:
7.5 / 10
This game was obtained via retail and reviewed on the Xbox 360 Approximately
18 hours
were spent on the single player mode, and around
5 hours
in the games online co-op.
Parental Guidance:
The game is stuffed full of violence, and drug and sexual references. This is deffinetely
a game suitable for children.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing: All dialogue is subtitled and all important markers have a visual representation. You should be fine!

Putnam development director takes new job
CHARLESTON, W.Va. The executive director of the Putnam County Development Authority said Tuesday that he would resign after nearly 15 years on the job and become president and CEO of the Huntington Area Development Council.
Gary Walton, 61, said he would start the job in Huntington on April 15.
"I was asked by a person who said I should submit a résumé and I did," Walton said. "I had a lot of reservations -- I've loved working here."
The Putnam County Development Authority hired Walton, an Indiana native, in 1999. He replaced Debbie Phillips, who ran the agency while Toyota decided to place a new plant in Buffalo.
In his early years as director, Walton lived in a house on property inside the Putnam Business Park in Fraziers Bottom.
"It was just raw land. I'd ride around trying to keep it clear so it could be sold," he said. "And it did, to a Japanese company named Nippon Thermostat."
Nippon announced last year it would double the size of its operations in Fraziers Bottom and create an additional 30 jobs. Ludowici LLC, an Australian company, purchased land last year.
The business park has 205 acres and about 50 of those house six businesses on the north side of U.S. 35. County officials have started clearing land on the south side of the highway and recently got a grant to extend utilities in the park.
Walton has taken numerous business trips to Japan through the years. Putnam is home to eight Japanese companies.
In his new position, he said he would still get to travel.
On Tuesday morning, Walton said he was drafting a new job advertisement to search for his replacement.
"The one we have is 15 years old," he said with a laugh.
Putnam County Commissioner Steve Andes, who serves on the Development Authority board, said Walton would be difficult to replace.
"He works well with the state Development Authority, he's well known and well liked." Andes said.
Andes said people only need to look at the business park in Fraziers Bottom "and what he's done there to bring in not only businesses but the development of it."
"We knew it would be hard to keep him forever ... this will be a lot more money for him," he said.
Andes said the board hopes to have someone fill Walton's position by May.
"We're going to get some résumés and see what happens. We want someone with experience," he said.
Walton will replace Marc Sprouse, who retired Jan. 31, as president of the Huntington area economic development organization, which covers Cabell and Wayne counties.
"The proximity of his efforts to the Huntington market allowed Mr. Walton to develop strong working relationships with HADCO personnel and stakeholders over the years," a news release from the organization said.
"We're excited to have Gary working with us," Stephen J. Golder, chairman of the organization's executive committee, said in the release.
He noted that a nationwide search had been conducted to fill the position.

A new report links violent video games to aggressive tendencies in children in both the United States and Japan.
According to the Washington Post, the report published in the journal Pediatrics examines research conducted by Dr. Craig Anderson (left) of Iowa State University as well as work by a pair of Japanese researchers. All three studies are of the longitudinal variety. From the WaPo:
Anderson said the collaboration with Japanese researchers was particularly telling because video games are popular there and crime and aggression are less prevalent. Some gamers have cited Japan's example as evidence that violent games are not harmful.
Yet the studies produced similar findings in both countries, Anderson said. "When you find consistent effects across two very different cultures, you're looking at a pretty powerful phenomenon," he said. "One can no longer claim this is somehow a uniquely American phenomenon. This is a general phenomenon that occurs across cultures…"
"We now have conclusive evidence that playing violent video games has harmful effects on children and adolescents," Anderson said.
Anderson also told the WaPo that video games are only one of a number of influences on a child's behavior:
A healthy, normal, nonviolent child or adolescent who has no other risk factors for high aggression or violence is not going to become a school shooter simply because they play five hours or 10 hours a week of these violent video games… [Extreme forms of violence] almost always occur when there is a convergence of multiple risk factors.
The Des Moines Register has additional comments from Anderson:
The [Japanese] culture is so different, and their overall violence rate is so much lower than in the U.S. The argument has been made – it's not a very good argument, but it's been made by the video game industry – that all our research on violent video game effects must be wrong because Japanese kids play a lot of violent video games and Japan has a low violence rate.
By gathering data from Japan, we can test that hypothesis directly and ask, 'Is it the case that Japanese kids are totally unaffected by playing violent video games?' And of course, they aren't. They're affected pretty much the same way American kids are.
Anderson's study was previously detailed in his 2007 book Violent Video Game Effects on Children and Adolescents: Theory, Research and Public Policy.

September Almanac
Our average high on the first of September is eighty four with an average low downtown of sixty seven. By the end of the month our average high falls to a near perfect seventy five with an average low of fifty seven. It will warm up a bit today and over the weekend.
The hottest temperature recorded in September is 104 set on the seventh back in 1881. The lowest reading recorded was 36 on the twenty third of the month in 1879. National Airport averages just over 3.75 inches of rain while Dulles average rainfall is 3.83" for the month. (At this writing we are already over 4" at both National and Dulles.) The wettest September on record occurred back in 1935 when we received almost 17.5 inches of rain. The driest September was back in 2005 when we recorded a meager 0.11 of an inch of rain. It's hard to believe that none of Katrina's remnants ever made it to the Metro Area, or anywhere in the Mid Atlantic for that matter.
If you suffer from allergies, weeds and grasses will be your main enemies in September with weeds leading the way by the end of the month. Frost will mark the end of the pollen season and that is still probably six weeks or more away.
Although astronomical fall doesn't begin until the fall equinox September 22nd, "meteorological fall" begins on September 1st. September, October and November comprise meteorological fall. For the sake of weather records, the four seasons are broken into three even months. This September we will see a new moon on September 5th and a full Harvest moon on Thursday the 19th. On the 8th, shortly after sunset, the crescent moon will be below Venus with a bright white star, Spica to the lower right. On the 19th Venus and Saturn will pass "close" to each other but the full moon will competing for your gaze as well.

I'm sure that this is already discussed so I apologize for having to post a new thread on it.
I searched and couldn't find it.
When I reply to a message in a folder such as "Golf team", I expect that the message I'm sending becomes part of that conversation and is saved in that conversation's folder. However, it doesn't seem to be the case. Am I missing something obvious? Is this covered some place else that I couldn't find by creative searching? If so, please point me in the right direction?
Thanks for everyone's time and bandwidth.

very cool. look almost like caribou.
These are Elk in Nv. I didn't take these but I know the guide that did. These are two different bulls and supposedly there are more.
very cool. look almost like caribou.
Yes I agree. Very Cool and do almost look like Caribou...
With the dark faces and legs, would those be considered piebald, instead of albino? Either way, I bet those suckers stick out like a sore thumb.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
They have dark eyes, not pink. Not true albino, but beautiful and unique anyway.
Live to hunt, hunt to live.
I thought the same thing. These pics were taken last year
Ive seen an albino cow in nv that was pretty neat.
I want one.... I think you have made up my mind on 5th choice
Yes sir. Thanks to a friend.

Child's name: For each child in the household 2-9 years of age, insert the child's name in this column next to his/ her line number (from Household Listing HL1), copying from the Household Listing, column HL2. This is done to prevent confusion during the interview. For all other household members less than 2 years of age or older than 9, leave the space next to their line numbers blank. Now, read the introduction to this module to the mother or primary caretaker of each child by saying: "I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU IF ANY CHILD IN THIS HOUSEHOLD AGED 2 THROUGH 9 HAS ANY OF THE HEALTH CONDITIONS I AM GOING TO MENTION TO YOU." Next, ask the following questions DA3 through DA13 about each child, in turn. Ask the entire set of questions about the first child, and then go on to ask about the next child in the list, asking the entire set of questions about the next child, until you have recorded answers for each child listed. In cases when there is more than one mother/primary caretaker for children listed in the module, complete asking questions about the children of the first mother/primary caretaker, then move to the next mother/primary caretaker.

As a guy who subscribed to XM before Sirius even existed, don't remind me.
I'd have to go dig out old credit card statements to get the accurate figures but my memory says my satellite radio costs have more than doubled since I originally subscribed. Maybe they have tripled.
And for essentially the same programming although now I get Howard Stern. I've never liked Howard Stern.
You're telling me......I signed up with XM in mid 2005. I was paying about $140 a year. I got my bill last month, it's up to $220 a year. I canceled.
Of course my use has changed too. I was using mine mainly on my motorcycle and I was doing MANY long distance trips which I'm not doing very many now at all. The other impact has been that back in 2005 my cell phone was just a cell phone. Today my cell phone has every record and CD I've ever owned loaded into it....LOL. Why do I need XM....LOL

Voters Say No at Polls
Bellaire, Bridgeport, Switzerland districts' ballot issues voted down
May 8, 2013
ST. CLAIRSVILLE — St. Clairsville voters passed both a school levy and a park levy Tuesday, while school levies in Bellaire, Bridgeport and the Switzerland of Ohio school districts were rejecte....
I suggest they open a bank account for donations in Bellaire. Since so many want this levy well lets give the yah sayers a place to put their money where their mouth is. My guess is very few will donate.

When the first levy was placed on the ballot for the sake of "the kids", there was a teacher with a sign in their car that read "Support The Teachers". Seriously…? Spoke volumes to me!

Quiz, you make some valid points re: the low standard of public education. However, a sizable degree of that criticism should be directed at the families as well as the schools. Kids brought up in households where substandard English is spoken and where there is little or no emphasis on gaining a good education make it difficult for public school teachers to make headway. Students who spend a large amount of their time watching "reality" shows on TV and playing mind numbing video/computer games have room for little else in their virtual world.

It's nice to see that some voters are reading betwee the lines and seeing how the school boards have been deceiving them in the past. It's always "For The Kids" But who/what is the money really for?

My wife and I voted NO for the Switzerland of Ohio School District Levy. The economy has forced us to further tighten our financial belts. I see no effort from the School District to do the same that every working/property owner family has had to do. We as a nation have spent more on the "education" of "The Children" than most nations and the result of throwing money down the education "rat hole" has not improved the situation.
When an eight grader cannot tell me the square root of 4, from what country did the United States win its independence, what country did the United States fight against in the Civil War, they continue to say "I seen" instead of "I saw" or "I have seen", what is the next number in the sequence 3,5,7,11,..., and the list goes on.
The educational system is turning out functional illiterates who cannot make change at McDonalds when the cash register is not working.
Money will not solve this problem.

Tony Scott, have you stopped to consider maybe any of those 1800 affirmative votes last election may have changed his or her mind on this ongoing battle? This is the SIXTH defeat. Personally I have and will continue to vote NO on this levy. Does anyone realize how much this costs to put on a special election. Who is paying for this? Anyone who owns property aka taxpayer and who must work for a living meaning pay for your bills with your own hard earned money should realize what is going on. We just do not have any more to give.

I'm curious as to why the schools need so much money when the Ohio Lottery is supposed to help fund them. Log onto the lottery website and see how much money the lottery has generated: it's in the billions, so where is it all going?

It definitely was a "snake-in-the-grass" attempt to pass the levy. I hope this is not an example of what they are teaching YOUR children in the district. I voted NO and will continue to vote NO!!!

Tony Scott should be fired immediately and his school board cronies run out of town on a rail.
This is the SIXTH attempt at passing a levy in less than three years. Give it up! It is a waste of tax dollars and it is never going to happen!
Scott even admits that they slipped the levy into this election in the hope that smaller turnout would carry the day, much like Marshall County's sneaky levy plan.
Maybe the superintendent could start by cutting his own pay by 50% if he is so worried about money.
Bellaire is a poor district populated by many students whose parents are losers who have never contributed in any meaningful way to the bottom line. When you have so many takers and so few givers, you will indeed have budget problems. Maybe they should start teaching students in Bellaire about personal responsibility, self-respect, work ethic, not making babies until you can support them, and the value of education.

Stack overflow
This is a Vulnerability. To view all vulnerabilities, please see the Vulnerability Category page.
Last revision (mm/dd/yy): 09/30/2008
Vulnerabilities Table of Contents
A stack overflow condition is a buffer overflow condition, where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
- Availability: Buffer overflows generally lead to crashes. Other attacks leading to lack of availability are possible, including putting the program into an infinite loop.
- Access control (memory and instruction processing): Buffer overflows often can be used to execute arbitrary code, which is usually outside the scope of a program's implicit security policy.
- Other: When the consequence is arbitrary code execution, this can often be used to subvert any other security service.
Exposure period
- Requirements specification: The choice could be made to use a language that is not susceptible to these issues.
- Design: Mitigating technologies such as safe string libraries and container abstractions could be introduced.
- Implementation: Many logic errors can lead to this condition. It can be exacerbated by lack of or misuse of mitigating technologies.
- Languages: C, C++, Fortran, Assembly
- Operating platforms: All, although partial preventative measures may be deployed depending on environment.
Required resources
Very high
Likelihood of exploit
Very high
There are generally several security-critical data on an execution stack that can lead to arbitrary code execution. The most prominent is the stored return address, the memory address at which execution should continue once the current function is finished executing. The attacker can overwrite this value with some memory address to which the attacker also has write access, into which he places arbitrary code to be run with the full privileges of the vulnerable program.
Alternately, the attacker can supply the address of an important call, for instance the POSIX system() call, leaving arguments to the call on the stack. This is often called a return into libc exploit, since the attacker generally forces the program to jump at return time into an interesting routine in the C standard library (libc).
Other important data commonly on the stack include the stack pointer and frame pointer, two values that indicate offsets for computing memory addresses. Modifying those values can often be leveraged into a "write-what-where" condition.
Risk Factors
While the buffer overflow example above counts as a stack overflow, it is possible to have even simpler, yet still exploitable, stack based buffer overflows:
#define BUFSIZE 256 int main(int argc, char **argv) { char buf[BUFSIZE]; strcpy(buf, argv[1]); }
Related Attacks
Related Vulnerabilities
- Parent categories: Buffer Overflow
- Subcategories: Return address overwrite, Stack pointer overwrite, Frame pointer overwrite.
- Can be: Function pointer overwrite, Array indexer overwrite, Write-what-where condition, etc.
Related Controls
- Pre-design: Use a language or compiler that performs automatic bounds checking.
- Design: Use an abstraction library to abstract away risky APIs. Not a complete solution.
- Pre-design through Build: Compiler-based canary mechanisms such as StackGuard, ProPolice and the Microsoft Visual Studio / GS flag. Unless this provides automatic bounds checking, it is not a complete solution.
- Operational: Use OS-level preventative functionality. Not a complete solution.
Related Technical Impacts
Note: A reference to related CWE or CAPEC article should be added when exists. Eg:

I am looking into Zimbra as a possible solution to some problems I've been having. My business is a mix of Mac and PC clients. We are also users of Salesforce.com. I have a few questions that, hopefully, someone can answer.
- Is the SalesForce zimlet usable with both the webmail interface AND the Zimbra desktop clients?
- If it is compatible with the desktop clients, is this for ALL OSes?
- Does the SalesForce Zimlet offer 2-way synchronization of contacts, calendars, and tasks?
- If 2-way synchronization is not available, is such functionality in the plans for the near future?
- Are there any plans to make public and resource calendars synchable through the Salesforce zimlet?
I would appreciate any answers I can get to these questions, as I have been very frustrated in my efforts to find a good solution for synching SalesForce contacts and calendars with both my Windows and Mac clients.

Barcelona Hotel Guide
There are a variety of hotels in Barcelona to choose from during your stay. Some visitors enjoy staying in Ciutat Vella, the old town, which is home to the Barri Gotic and La Rambla. Others prefer vacationing in the historical Garcia District, conveniently located near Sagrada Família and Parc Güell. Some Barcelona hotels feature rooftop terraces with pools and captivating views of the city, while other lodging is within walking distance of some of the most famous attractions in the city.
As Spain's second largest city, Barcelona has a lot to offer. One of the best ways to experience it all is to board the hop-on hop-off Barcelona Bus Turistic, which provides three routes that take visitors to some of the most notable attractions, from Sagrada Família to Plaça de Catalunya.
The Barcelona Metro is another convenient way of getting around. Depending on your travel plans, you can buy single passes or multi-journey tickets. The routes service central Barcelona and its surrounding suburbs.
Vacationers can also reserve rental cars in Barcelona, but do realize that the streets are often packed with traffic and parking spots are expensive. Driving is only recommended for those who are used to commuting around the city and navigating the road system.
Travel Basics
Catalan and Spanish are the official languages in Barcelona, but the majority of the signs are written in Catalan. Many of the locals generally address visitors in Spanish, but vacationers may find some English speakers in the more touristy areas, especially in the shops and bars. If you're familiar with Spanish, try practicing it while you're in town.
Just as in any large city, visitors need to be aware of scammers and pick pockets. As a general rule, be on guard and weary of anyone asking for directions or showing off magic tricks. Thieves may try to distract you and while an accomplice robs you. Wear your passport and wallet in a money belt for safe keeping.
Barcelona boasts a subtropical-Mediterranean climate, which gives way to warm summers and mild winters. The months of May through July are some of the best times to visit, as the weather is warm and agreeable. By August, the weather usually hits the high 80s F, and it can be especially humid and muggy. Starting in October the days start to cool down and it becomes more overcast. By the winter, the temperatures usually average the mid-50s F.
Lounge on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and sip on coffee in Ciutat Vella at any time of the year. Barcelona is the kind of place that you can enjoy regardless of the season. Use Expedia.com to book cheap flights to Barcelona to kick start your European getaway today.

No one wants to have to call a personal injury or auto accident attorney, and we know that a few lawyers have given the rest of us a bad name. Here at Premier Law Group we want to start fixing that reputation one client at a time. We provide a level of customer service unmatched by any other firm in Seattle, Bellevue, Vancouver, or anywhere else in Washington State. We can't guarantee a 100% success rate — no one can. But we promise that every member of our team will dedicate themselves to protecting your rights by giving each client's case the attention it deserves. Get in touch with Premier Law Group today and we'll change your mind about attorneys.
You Pay Nothing Upfront and Don't Pay Fees Unless We Win
One of the most common misconceptions about personal injury lawyers is about how we get paid. Here's the straight talk: We don't get paid unless you win. If we win your case, we typically take 1/3 of the settlement or jury verdict award. That may sound like a lot — but there's something you should know. Research by insurance companies found that, on average, injury victims are awarded 3.5 times more with a lawyer than without one. That means that even with attorney's fees included, you greatly increase your chances of getting the full amount of compensation you deserve. If you have been injured due to the negligence of another, it is in your best interests to be represented by an experienced, knowledgeable Seattle personal injury attorney.
Award Winning Personal Injury Attorneys in Seattle and Bellevue
Sure, you could simply choose the first injury lawyer that comes up on Google. But how do you know that lawyer will be the best one for your case? Not all lawyers have the same training or experience in the field. Any lawyer can say that they are the top rated lawyer in Seattle or the best attorney in Bellevue. Any lawyer can claim they are experienced in personal injury law. Any lawyer can buy a lot of advertising.
If the process of hiring a lawyer confuses you, you aren't alone. That's why accomplished Seattle personal injury attorney Jason Epstein has written The Shocking Truth About Lawyer Advertising. This book is FREE for all Washington State residents, along with our full selection of other books.
The truth is, we might not be the best law firm for your case, and you may not even need a lawyer. If you could be served better by another firm, we will tell you this.
Recognized as Experts in the Media
Premier Law Group's expertise in matters relating to driver safety have been noted nationally and locally by various media outlets and institutions. In addition to appearing to comment on traffic safety laws, Premier Law Group's attorneys have been invited to join Microsoft's International Women's Hackathon in Washington D.C. to judge innovative technology approaches to traffic safety. Premier Law Group employs this knowledge to your case. Even though no two cases are alike, the breadth and depth of Premier Law Group's experience is drawn upon to give your case the best possible chance.
Be Aware That Delays Can Damage Your Case
There are hard and fast deadlines for injury cases built into the legal system. These are called Statutes of Limitations and they are rules that limit the span of time in which you can bring your injury case to trial. If you delay speaking with an attorney for too long, your case may fall outside the Statute of Limitations period and you will not be able to recover compensation.
An experienced personal injury attorney won't rush your case. The more time we have to work with you, the stronger your case will be and the better our position to negotiate with the insurance companies. If you have been seriously injured in an accident and want to put together a roadmap for your case, call us at 206-285-1743 to speak with our friendly and knowledgeable staff.

HOOVER, Ala. (AP) - Georgetown goalkeeper Tomas Gomez blocked Helge Leikvang's shot in the final round of a shootout, lifting the Hoyas over Maryland 4-3 on penalty kicks Friday night following a 4-4 tie in the NCAA soccer semifinals.
Georgetown (20-3-2) beat Maryland (20-2-2) for the first time in 29 tries and will face Indiana in Sunday's final. The seven-time champion Hoosiers beat Creighton 1-0 in the second semifinal.
Maryland scored twice in a 3 1/2-minute span late in the second half to tie it at 4.
Maryland held a 3-2 lead through the first three rounds of the penalty kicks, but the Hoyas rallied for a 4-3 lead and won when Gomez stopped Leikvang.
Steve Neumann scored three goals for the Hoyas, including two in a 1:31 span to give Georgetown a 2-1 halftime lead. Neumann made it 4-2 with 30 minutes left in regulation, but Maryland tied it on goals by Patrick Mullins and Christiano Francois.

Ida Lieszkovszky · More Music! Your Midwest Nominations
May 3rd, 2011
We asked, and you answered. Here are more of your nominations for the Best from the Midwest. Any current band or performer with Midwest roots is eligible. (More suggestions? Post them in Comments.)
From Chicago and Illinois:
Kanye West is from Chicago, Illinois. He's already received 14 Grammy awards, and often asserts that he deserves even more.
Rapper Common is also from Chicago and also has a couple of Grammy awards under his belt, as is Lupe Fiasco.
Songwriter and multi-instrument player Andrew Bird also hails from the Windy City, as does Steve Goodman. Illinois also gets the credit for American country/folk singer John Prine, from Maywood.
Cleveland and Ohio:
The home of rock and roll — and home city of Changing Gears partner ideastream is also well represented in this latest round of Twitter and Facebook votes. Among the best known is the industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails founded in Cleveland in 1988. They have earned two Grammys, plus an additional Golden Globe and an Oscar for front-man Trent Reznor (along with Atticus Ross) for the score of The Social Network.
The group that produced the ultra catchy song I Know What Boys Like is also from Cleveland – that would be the new wave band The Waitresses. Recently reunited power pop group The Raspberry's are Clevelanders, as is the band The James Gang. That latter group is perhaps best known for their guitarist, Joe Walsh, who later went on to become a part of The Eagles. Musician, DJ and politician Michael Stanley is also from the Cleveland area.
Detroit and Michigan:
One Changing Gears fan noted that we would be remiss not to mention musician and activist Ted Nugent, from Detroit Michigan. Bob Seger of Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band was born in Dearborn and grew up in Ann Arbor, home to partner station Michigan Radio. You can catch Seger on tour now.
John Mellencamp, best known for his heartland rock, was born in Seymour, Indiana.
And then there's Prince…
Though the Changing Gears coverage area is generally Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin, we're bending the rules for some notable exceptions this time around. Michelle Norris, co-host of NPR's All Things Considered, nominated Prince from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Prince has earned himself seven Grammy awards , one Golden Globe and an Oscar for Best Score too. American musician, poet and painter Bob Dylan calls Duluth, Minnesota home.
We also had a few nominations for musicians who aren't from the Midwest but still had a big impact on the area's music scene. Chief among those is McKinley Morganfield, otherwise known as Muddy Waters. He's from Mississippi but is better known as the Father of Chicago blues.

Robert Hines of Piggot, Ark., won the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame and Museum raffle bike on Sunday at BikeBandit.com AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, featuring Indian Motorcycle, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio.
Hines' name was drawn by Grand Marshal Bill Tuman, a member of the legendary Indian Motorcycles Wrecking Crew. Grand Marshal Bobby Hill, the other surviving member of the crew, also attended the drawing.
Co-Grand Marshal Bill Tuman pulls the winning ticket for the 2014 AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame raffle bike -- a 1947 Indian Chief.
The third wrecking crew member, Ernie Beckman, died in October 1999.
The bike, a 1947 Indian Chief, was restored as a rider by its previous owner. The AMA bought the bike at the 2013 Vintage Motorcycle Days swap meet.
AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman thanked the crowd for attending the event and supporting the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame.
"It's great pleasure for the AMA to put on this event as the primary fundraiser for the Hall of Fame and the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation," Dingman says.

Rosacea-like redness and sensitivity can be embarrassing and painful to those who suffer from it. Murad's Redness Therapy products provide skin with agents that help calm, cool and soothe current symptoms. When dealing with the challenge of continual redness, the best approach is to feed the skin with nourishing and soothing ingredients that will help control and help prevent flare ups in the future while also camouflaging the redness so that the skin instantly looks calmer and more comfortable. Murad Redness Therapy is a total solution to redness associated with hyper reactive skin and rosacea.
Murad Redness Therapy offers a full regimen for the daily maintenance of skin that suffers from redness. Because proper care involves products that do not aggravate the problem, Murad Redness Therapy is formulated with extra gentle ingredients that balance reactive skin to help it look its best.
Murad Redness Therapy was developed to help those who experience redness and flushing due to sensitivity and rosacea. Redness can occur briefly as a result to certain foods or activities as well as irritating skin care products. Redness can also be persistent due to conditions like rosacea. Murad Redness Therapy was designed as a maintenance program for skin that either experiences short periods of redness or constant persistent flushing.
Women who experience redness often have trouble finding a cleanser that is gentle enough for every day use. Murad Soothing Gel Cleanser gently cleanses to remove dirt, oil and impurities without stripping the natural oils in the skin or causing tightness. The gentle formula moisturizes and calms inflamed skin, reducing redness and the stinging that is often associated with sensitivities.
Murad Recovery Treatment Gel is a treatment gel that calms and balances red, irritated skin. The patented gel is lightweight and fast absorbing to go deep into the layers of the skin, hydrating and nourishing reactive complexions. Murad Recovery Treatment Gel provides hours of relief and comfort.
Murad Correcting Moisturizer SPF 15 is a light but highly hydrating moisturizer that cools and calms hot, red and irritated skin while also providing a broad spectrum sun protection of 15. Sun exposure can aggravate already irritated skin, make the skin even more red and damage fragile capillaries. Daily use of a moisturizer with sunscreen can help prevent problems. Murad Correcting Moisturizer SPF 15 has a light green tint to help neutralize the redness in skin. Soothing vitamins and botanical extracts help to calm inflammation and protect the skin against the elements.
You may buy Murad Redness Therapy products as a single purchase or receive a discount when you setup an automatic shipment.

Kewill study outlines best practices
September 15, 2011
With its fifth annual bechmarking survey of logistics professionals, Kewill came to some rather startling conclusions about the current state of the parcel shipping industry.
"This report clearly highlights the challenges that shippers face when it comes to making strategic choices as to how to move forward as parcel and freight volumes start to increase," said Alan Gold, vice president of marketing and business development for Kewill Inc. "Organizations that were holding steady or contracting last year may now be in a position to consider growing their operations and investing in the future."
Kewill, a major provider of SaaS accelerating global trade and logistics, announced the availability of "2011 Best Practices Survey for Parcel Shipping and LTL/Freight Management."
Survey participants revealed their challenges and strategies in parcel shipping. It contains key trends and industry best practices. The findings of the survey are detailed in a whitepaper that also provides 10 best practices recommendations for parcel shipping and LTL/freight management. Key findings from the report include:
• Twenty-one percent of shippers are still using a fully manual process to input parcel information, and only a small minority of progressive leaders – 8 percent –
claim to have a totally hands-free operation.
• The difference between 2010 and 2011 is that we see an improved economic environment, with an increasing number of companies in a position to add headcount to their shipping operations.
• Most LTL/Freight shippers currently use between two and five carriers in their operations.
• The majority of companies are still using from one - three parcel shipping carriers.
• The survey also looked at the use of blended postal solutions (i.e., Newgistics and Fedex Smartpost) and a third of respondents who are using blended solutions clearly see the advantage of using USPS's infrastructure for final delivery with another 19 percent considering the option.

Is The Economy Moving Forward or Simply Stumbling?
