|High winds turn into first major rain of 2010
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Corn stalks found a new home in the fence south of the elementary school playground after 50-60 m.p.h. winds blew for most of the day Tuesday, April 13. The wind died down and 3/4 inches of rain fell with some hail. Streets were overwhelmed with water for a short period of time, and vehicles were forced to splash their way through the streets in Holyoke. National Weather Service official weather observer Dan Kafka said a wind gust was recorded at 58 m.p.h. Tuesday. The wind also tore down part of the landfill recycling building that was completed just over a year ago.

PCC in the News
News: Former PCC Baseball Coach Lani Exton Passes Away At 76
Alan "Lani" Exton, the Pasadena City College head baseball coach in the late 1970s, passed away Sunday at Citrus Valley Medical Center due to undisclosed causes. He was 76.
Exton played baseball at Arcadia High, then was a two-time, All-Western State Conference pitcher at PCC before earning a scholarship to play at UCLA. He was hired as an assistant coach to Lancers' head coach Ron Robinson in 1974 after a successful prep coaching career at Arcadia. He directed the Apaches from 1964-1973, including the 1965 CIF Southern Section 3A championship. He was inducted into the Arcadia High Coaches Hall of Fame in 2003.
At PCC, Exton became just the then fourth head baseball coach in PCC history in 1976 in succeeding Robinson. Although he was a head coach for a short five-year tenure, Exton coached three future Major League Baseball players on the '77 Lancers' squad in lefty pitcher Matt Young, a 1983 All-Star Game participant from the Seattle Mariners, infielder Rod Booker, and second baseman Alan Wiggins, a member of the 1984 National League pennant-winning San Diego Padres.
Exton continued to teach P.E. classes at PCC into the early 2000s.
A memorial service is scheduled for Saturday, May 4 at 10:30 a.m. at Loraine Avenue Baptist Church (151 S. Loraine Avenue) in Glendora.

People like to know this type of stuff. Maybe not you but others. I post informative threads. At least my posts aren't just complaining and worthless.
This really isn't the worst thread. At least it was Cyclone news. It's really all we've got until my gaming thread later today.

Artist Network member Debbie Locke will be exploring her practice as part of an on-going exploration in her work into the process of 'mapping'.
Drawing forms the basis of her practice as the most immediate and expressive way to record her on-going investigations. In order to study the disparity between logical and irrational behaviour she creates environments where rules and boundaries can be broken and crossed, by simultaneously imposing and relinquishing control. This often takes the form of kinetic drawing installations, comprising of wall-based autonomous drawing machines.
These installations run continuously over several days, creating documents as evidence of the process.
Debbie will be running a series of workshops throughout Drawn as well as working in The Drawing Lab on Wednesdays.

Former Strikeforce women's bantamweight champion Miesha Tate will return to the cage in August – on the same night the new champion defends her belt for the first time.
Tate (12-3 MMA, 5-2 SF) will face Julie Kedzie (16-9 MMA, 0-1 SF) on Aug. 18. Strikeforce officials on Monday announced the fight booking, which is expected to be part of the main card.
"Strikeforce: Rousey vs. Kaufman" takes place at Valley View Casino Center in San Diego and features a women's bantamweight title fight between champion Ronda Rousey, who beat Tate for the belt in March, and former champion Sarah Kaufman.
The evening's main card airs on Showtime, and Showtime Extreme carries the preliminary fights.
Tate took a six-fight win streak into her title fight against Rousey in Columbus, Ohio. The two had built up a weeks-long rivalry in the media, and their pre-fight weigh-in featured a tense moment that needed the fighters separated.
But when the fight rolled around, like she had done to all her previous opponents, Rousey caught Tate in an armbar, twisting it gruesomely before the then-champ finally tapped 4:27 into the first round.
Before the title fight loss to Rousey, Tate had taken the belt from Marloes Coenen the previous July with a fourth-round arm-triangle choke. The Team Alpha Male fighter got her shot at Coenen when she won a four-woman women's bantamweight tournament, beating Maiju Kujala and Hitomi Akano on the same night in August 2010.
Kedzie will enter the fight looking to rebound from a unanimous decision loss to Alexis Davis nearly a year ago in her Strikeforce debut. She was expected to get back to action this past September, but had to pull out of the fight with an injury. Consequently, when she steps in against Tate, it will have been more than a year since her last fight.
Before the loss to Davis, Kedzie, who trains at the Greg Jackson camp in Albuquerque, N.M., had put together a four-fight win streak.

The Wildcats (4-4) were paced by James Bell with 15 points and Tony Chennault
with 10 off the bench as they suffered a fourth loss in the last five outings.
Temple struggled in the first half, shooting just 32.4 percent from the floor,
including 5-of-17 beyond the arc, all while the Wildcats were converting 51.9
percent from the field in order to take a 36-32 lead at the break.
In the second half the tables turned as Villanova made a total of just seven
field goals and the Owls connected on 55.6 percent from the floor in order to
surge ahead and claim the 15-point win.
Villanova knocked down just 5-of-15 from three-point range and turned the ball
over 20 times on the night.
The win for the Owls was their first at the Pavilion in more than two decades.

Holes: Makin' 'Em And Takin' 'Em Away - The Hole TruthWritten by on March 1, 2012
There ain't no gettin' away from it; if you're going to build a car, you're going to be drilling a lot of holes. You'll also likely be welding more than a few up too, especially if you intend to nose, deck, or otherwise remove trim. It may sound odd, unless you're familiar with tools or work in the automotive industry, but there's more than one way to drill a hole.
Your first choice will likely be a regular drill bit, and these are fine for many applications (but they're not ideal, especially for sheetmetal, if you're after a perfectly round hole). Ever notice that a drill bit leaves a "triangulated" hole in sheetmetal, especially cheaper bits? Equip yourself with a good quality set of drill bits, look after them properly, and they'll repay you with years of service.
However, for perfectly round holes in sheetmetal, or brackets up to 1/4-inch thick, I prefer to use a Rotabroach. They only cut the circumference of the hole, rather than the entire section you wish to remove, making them more efficient. Since the hole is perfectly round, it'll be a snug fit for any fastener used in the hole, which is important where bolts and brackets are concerned. Rotabroaches are available from Snap-On, Blair, and other suppliers. They're not cheap, but they're worth every cent—if they're looked after.
Spot-weld drill bits and step drill bits are other ways to drill sheetmetal, while hole saws can be used on sheet or heavier-gauge material. The latter will blunt very quickly unless used at the correct speed and with lubrication, which is the best way to maintain any drill bit. Speed is also a consideration with Rotabroaches, and remember, faster ain't necessarily better, especially in this case. Take it slow, and use a suitable cutting fluid.
OK, so you've finished all the fab work on your project, and are moving to the bodywork stage. Your car looks way better with all that excess trim removed, but what to do about the numerous holes left behind? Simple: weld 'em up! Sure, go ahead, but there are ways to make your life easier. First, ensure the hole is clean by filing any paint from the edges of the hole. Second, most trim holes will be on the sides of a car, so turn the wire speed up slightly if you're using a MIG welder to compensate for this. I prefer to start at the top left of any trim hole and work my way across and down, but you may find your own preference.
One sure-fire way to make the job easier is to place a piece of thick copper behind the hole, as the weld won't "stick" to this material, you'll use less wire, and not be left with a big blob of weld on the backside of the panel. Eastwood sells copper plates with magnets attached for this purpose, as well as a copper paddle that can be held behind the panel.
None of this is rocket science, but it's stuff like this that's easy to assume everyone knows. The right tools make a big difference, and can turn a frustrating job into a pleasurable one.

Need a tapered hole? Speedway Motors sells this 7-degree taper reamer, which is the correct taper for early Ford tie-rod ends. Just drill a 1/2-inch hole first then slowly ream the taper. A drillpress works best for this.Any drill bit (except a spot-weld cutter) will require an index to start, and while you can use a hammer and punch, these automatic punches make things simpler. Sprung loaded, they're powerful little tools.Here's a hole saw cutting a 1/4-inch wall steel box section. Of note is the cutting fluid, which lubricates the hole saw, making for an easier cut with no "grabbing" and prevents the tool from becoming blunt owing to overheating. Select the slowest speed on the drillpress when using hole saws or Rotabroaches.A Rotabroach will produce perfectly circular holes every time, even on thick material, such as this lower shock mount. This is important to ensure no "slop" between the bolt and the bracket.Rotabraoches are also ideal for producing neat holes in sheetmetal, such as this air vent next to the pump for the air compressor on my project '49 Chevy. Note where the Rotabroach skipped around on the surface on the three holes on the left, caused by not punching a center mark before drilling.Here's a good indication of the different results you'll get by using (left to right) a Rotabroach, spot-weld drill bit, and regular drill bit. Only the hole on the left is truly circular.
Placing a thick piece of copper behind any hole to be welded will prevent the welding wire from going through the hole, making the job easier and the weld will not stick to it.Note how much less weld is left on the backside of the panel after using the copper backing, compared to the weld on the right, which was done without. It's also a smaller weld, and has less heat distortion, as you're for to all intents and purposes filling a recess rather than a hole.Once the weld is ground down using a soft pad-backed abrasive on a 4-inch grinder, there's no distortion and it's ready for sanding and filler.Trim holes are easy to fill with weld, but what of larger holes, such as those in the firewall of my Chevy once I'd removed the fresh air ducts and assorted cables and wires?While the hole below was simply filled with weld, the larger one, which is the exact size of a penny, will have a patch trimmed to fit and welded flush with the firewall. No, you can't weld the penny in!I also used the same clamps to hold my A/C vent panels flush with the dash while I welded them in place. These clamps are invaluable, and can even be used to attach a ground clamp for the welder if need be.Here's a larger example of a flush-fitting patch, where the air ducting used to pass into the interior. A couple of magnetic clamps hold it in place while it's tack welded.
As they're such heavy-gauge steel, holes in chassis 'rails can be filled without patches, using the copper-backing method. Again, use a file or rotary air grinder to clean the edges.

ROCKVILLE, Md. (WUSA) -- Seven members of the Montgomery County Council opposed Pepco's request for a rate increase on Monday.
Pepco filed the request on Friday with the Maryland Public Service Commission requesting to impose a surcharge of about $1 a month starting in 2014. The hike, if approved by the Public Service Commission, could add about $7 to the average monthly bill of residential customers. A decision is expected by July of next year.
The council issued a statement in response to the request:
"We oppose Pepco's request for a rate hike. We believe Pepco's financial fortunes should be directly tied to its performance and that performance does not justify an increase in its rate of return. As it is, shareholders have fared a lot better than ratepayers.
"We also do not believe that Pepco should be able to avoid a review of the prudence of its expenditures in return for expediting their reliability work. Rather, we believe that Pepco owes it to this community to expedite its reliability work using the traditional ratemaking process that ensures that Pepco can only recover from ratepayers costs that the Commission finds are just and reasonable. We fully expect that our County will fight this suspect, unwarranted, and unjustified request, and that the Commission will, as it has recently, protect Montgomery County ratepayers that have suffered for far too long."
The statement was endorsed by Council President Roger Berliner, Vice President Nancy Navarro and Council members Phil Andrews, Marc Elrich, Valerie Ervin, George Leventhal and Hans Riemer.
Pepco also issued a statement:
"We are investing about a billion dollars over five years in Maryland to improve our service reliability. We are asking our customers to help pay for these investments necessary to provide safe and reliable service. We make the investments to meet current reliability standards, but customers and government officials say they want us to do more. This is in response to those expectations," according to Pepco spokeswoman Myra Oppel.

Bill to repeal TIP's borrowing authority moves to full House
House Resolution 2915, which proposes to repeal Western's Transmission Infrastructure Program's $3.25 billion borrowing authority from the U.S. Treasury, passed the House of Representatives Committee of Natural Resources with no amendments Oct. 5 with a 26-17 straight party-line vote.
While the three projects currently approved to use the borrowing authority – TransWest Express (development phase), Electrical District 5 – Palo Verde Hub and the Montana Alberta Tie, Limited – would not be impacted by the bill's passage, no other projects being considered would receive funding.
"New transmission is urgently needed in the western United States. And yet, getting lines in the air has been far too slow over the past few decades," said Lauren Azar, senior advisor to U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu, in a written testimony for a Sept. 22 hearing with the Subcommittee on Water and Power. "Western's $3.25 billion of permanent, indefinite, borrowing authority is, therefore, a critical tool for addressing two of the major energy challenges we now face in the West — the need for additional transmission infrastructure and integration of renewables onto the grid."
The bill will now be considered in the full House.
TIP's borrowing authority constructs or upgrades transmission infrastructure within Western's 15-state service area that has the reasonable expectation of helping deliver renewable generation to customers and is in the public interest.

Great buy!
I bought both the red & pink dispensers. I use one for handsoap & the other for lotion. Glad to say the straws inside the bottles are wide enough to let even the thickest lotion dispense. These work beautifully, and of course, they look adorable! A perfect addition to a HK bedroom or bathroom.
Great value
I would like this better if there was a model that was ceramic/non plastic. But this is great value/quality for being made of plastic. Look forwards to lots of use in My HK Bathroom!

This outfit is probably the closest thing to "t-shirt and jeans" that I'll ever wear for my workplace. I love these wide-leg jeans, not only as it's a nice change of pace from the skinny jeans trend, but also because I was wear some awesome platform boots underneath and feel all glamorous at a nice 5'5" tall. And maybe it's just me, but these boots make me feel all tough, like I could kick some tail -- superhero style!
I have to admit, this is probably one of my most comfortable outfits. Perfect way to usher in a relaxing weekend. On the agenda for tonight is cozying up on the couch with a mug of hot chocolate while catching up on a week's worth of unwatched TV. If it gets cold enough, we might even turn on our fireplace. It's getting festive around here! :)

Saw this over on the rptools site - and yes, I did notice the outhouse...

My only crit so far is that the planks on the floor are enormous. Not to say that such a size is not possible, just that they would probably warp if they were that wide, and are likely to not have straight edges as they would be the width of the whole tree. Can't help but compare the width of the planks to the width of the tree outside

I've emailed Sales, but have not gotten a response so I thought I'd ask here.
What constitutes a user as far as licensing? For instance, on my Zimbra FOSS server I host 4 domains. I have email accounts in all four for myself, plus general Info@ addresses. Plus my wife has 2 accounts. That's 10 total. So is that a 10 user license? Even though there are really only 2 people accessing it?
I ask this more because I am about to recommend Zimbra to a couple of small business customer I have and need to understand how to calculate licensing.
I know in Exchange it's only about how many concurrent logins you have.


text: I drew an area 118 deer tag. I was agonizing using my three points on G,H or 118. I looked at area 89 but 3 points wouldn't get me a tag there. I talked to the biologist before I applied and he said it was not as good an area as it was in the past but there were a few good bucks around if I hunted hard. I'd be real happy with a buck in the 160's. Is this possible in this unit? I plan to hunt the walk in areas hard if I have to. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

|Agritourism meeting set for next Tuesday
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Tuesday, May 7 at 2 p.m. in the Peerless Theatre in Holyoke, Laura Grey, the Heritage and Agritourism Program manager for the Colorado Tourism Office, will be presenting information on agritourism and how it can be a productive part of a farm or ranch.
Agritourism is the name of the tourism sector that integrates recreational and educational farm and ranch enterprises with the travel and recreational sectors of the economy. Agritourism covers a wide variety of recreational, educational and other leisure activities and services based on a farmer or rancher's land, physical and human resources.
By partnering with the Colorado Department of Agriculture, the CTO has initiated an Agritourism Program that will showcase Colorado agriculture roots and current opportunities on farms and ranches throughout the state.
Through this initiative, visitors to Colorado will be able to experience agriculture in a fun and educational way. With the many farms and ranches throughout northeast Colorado, agritourism could be a very viable means to attract visitors to the northeast part of the state.
For further information about the meeting, please contact Julie Worley, executive director, Phillips County Economic Development, at 854-4386. The public is invited to attend this meeting.

|Corn harvest much earlier this year
|Written by Chris Lee
This new grain bunker located just west of Holyoke was finished just in time for
the early corn harvest. Steve Young of Grainland Co-op said the bunker will hold
just around two million bushels of corn and holds an estimated one million bushels
in the photo above. The pile was part of an expansion project which also included a
bin at the east location. —Enterprise photo
The sights of harvest are everywhere. Piles of corn and beets are spread throughout the county, and grain dust can be found floating down Interocean Avenue.
As of Monday, Oct. 25, corn harvest in the area was nearly 75 percent complete, according to Grainland Co-op grain merchandiser Steve Young.
Young said this year's harvest is complete opposite to last year's which didn't really get going until December.
Young said some farmers who didn't get into the field until Dec. 15 last year are finished picking this year—nearly two months before last year's harvest.
Farmers have been blessed with good weather and the opportunity to get into the field and harvest. Young added the corn has dried down nicely, partly due to the fact there hasn't been a real freeze yet. Temperatures are estimated to duck down below freezing later in the week.
Young estimates harvest will near completion later next week. He said many of the area farmers will wrap things up by Halloween, weather permitting.
The moisture received Friday and Saturday, Oct. 22-23 was just enough to slow farmers down a bit. Another small shower Monday, Oct. 25 slowed things down as well.
Young said yields have been good on this year's corn crop. "It is about what farmers expected," he noted.
Piles of corn can be seen east of Holyoke at Grainland's state line site.
Beet harvest nears completion
Numerous beet trucks have been seen rolling through Holyoke in the past few weeks. The pile north of Holyoke is growing on a daily basis.
Jerry Darnell, Nebraska and Colorado Ag Manager for Western Sugar, said the beet harvest in Colorado is around 92 percent complete as of Tuesday, Oct. 26.
Darnell said northeast Colorado has seen a little higher sugar percentage than the rest of Colorado beets. The beets in northeast Colorado are producing around 17.48 percent sugar while the rest in the state are around 16.9 percent.
"It's been a real good crop," Darnell said. He also noted prices are at an all-time high, which the growers will benefit from greatly.
Justin Herman, agriculturalist for Western Sugar, said harvest is about 95 percent complete in Holyoke and hopes to see things wrapped up around Thursday, Oct. 28.
"This is close to a record crop," Herman noted. He said the weather was a direct influence.
The pile of beets north of Holyoke is growing by the day. Trucks will haul the crop

(Reuters) – The Washington Redskins, Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers all fired their head coaches a day after the regular season concluded as part of the National Football League's so-called "Black Monday."
The Redskins axed Mike Shanahan, the Vikings parted ways with Leslie Frazier, the Buccaneers fired Greg Schiano and the Lions axed Jim Schwartz after each team finished well out of the playoff picture.
Shanahan's Redskins went 3-13, Frazier's Vikings finished 5-10-1 and Schiano's Bucs went 4-12 as all teams finished last in their respective divisions. Schwartz's Lions were 7-9.
The announcements came a day after the Cleveland Browns fired head coach Rob Chudzinski after his team closed out the 2013 season with a seven-game losing streak to finish 4-12.

|Data-driven dialogue enhances CSAP response
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Data-driven dialogue amongst Holyoke School District staff kicked off the 2009-2010 school year in a progressive mode.
Supt. Bret Miles gave a thorough evaluation report of Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP) test results for 2009 at the Aug. 18 meeting of the Board of Education.
With that, Miles described the staff's data-driven dialogue from inservice sessions just prior to the start of the school year. He said there's been 100 percent engagement of staff, as they utilize the information reflected in the CSAP results to determine areas to focus their instruction.
Results of all 27 CSAP tests taken by Holyoke students in grades 3-10 in 2009 were reviewed thoroughly by Miles. Accompanying graphs were part of his presentation.
He concluded nine of 27 tests were at or above proficient and advanced state averages, and 15 of 27 tests were at or below unsatisfactory state averages. Eight tests were either one or two students away from meeting state average.
In cross sectional year-to-year comparisons (i.e. comparing last year's third grade tests to this year's third grade tests), Holyoke showed improvement on 10 of 27 tests on proficient and advanced scores. Lower unsatisfactory percentages were noted on 14 of 27 tests.
The longitudinal year-to-year comparison is where Holyoke student results were low this year, noted Miles. This compares last year's third grade results to this year's fourth grade results. Miles pointed out it's not exactly the same kids, as some may have moved in or out of the district, but basically it's the same core group of students.
On only one of 20 tests did the proficient and above improve from the previous year, and on only seven of 20 did the unsatisfactory percentages improve.
Supt. Miles said the state has initiated a new growth data report which will further investigate the longitudinal development of individual classes and students. A growth data report will be given by Miles at the Sept. 1 board meeting.
Along that line, board member Kris Camblin asked for a summary of fourth grade and sixth grade growth, in reference to adding a third fourth-grade section and moving the sixth grade to the junior high for the 2008-09 school year.
Fourth graders clearly showed improvement, particularly in math and reading in terms of percentage of class testing proficient and above, compared to their third grade scores.
While sixth graders showed a drop in numbers that were proficient and advanced from their fifth grade testing, they did test better than the previous year's sixth graders in reading, Miles pointed out.
Scoring lower than the previous year was the norm in Holyoke this year, so the fact sixth graders had lower proficient and advanced numbers than they did in fifth grade does not necessarily lead to good conclusion-making.
Miles said the growth model could show more, but at this point the data for sixth graders is not sufficient for showing whether or not the move to the junior high affected achievement.
He added the district will certainly be looking at the data in an effort to improve the longitudinal growth districtwide.
Further data discussion on each of the 27 tests showed gender achievement gaps in the difference between male and female testing. Results also noted the gap in hispanic/white achievement results.
Future data analysis, according to Miles, will see further breakdown of the hispanic and English Language Learner data. Additionally, status results will be analyzed with mobility and stability as variables.
JR/SR High Principal Susan Ortner added they've enjoyed the data dialogue process, and the continuation of that conversation will be interesting. Elementary Principal Kyle Stumpf said a number of K-5 staff members indicated their excitement for delving deeper into the data.
Bus loan authorized
Supt. Miles explained the 2010 budget calls for a capital reserve expenditure for two buses. The arrangement is for one payment to be handled in the current fiscal year and the second payment in the next fiscal year, on July 1, 2010.
Miles noted appreciation for local banks which put forth their best effort for bids. Miles recommended the First Pioneer National Bank bid, as it had the lowest interest rate and the next payment would be due July 1, 2010.
Going with the recommendation, the school board authorized board president and secretary to secure a loan with First Pioneer to finance the purchase of one 2010 Bluebird 54-passenger school bus in the amount of $75,000 at a rate of 3.94 percent interest for up to a total loan amount of $77,815.
Payment due date is July 1, 2010, and two 2010 Bluebird 54-passenger school buses will be utilized as collateral to secure the loan.
Organizational chart revised
Revisions to a staff organizational chart which is a policy exhibit were presented at last week's board meeting. Supt. Miles said the revised exhibit will be an agenda item for approval Sept. 1.
The previous exhibit didn't list the alternative school director nor director of curriculum and assessments, so those two positions were added.
Other proposed changes note the grounds supervisor will no longer be under the maintenance supervisor, and custodians were moved under the building principals.
A new segment of the chart is advisory, with five committees listed under it: leadership team, budget, standard of excellence, budget and facilities and Supt. advisory.
Other business
In other business Aug. 18, the Re-1J board:
—acknowledged appreciation to Bank of Colorado for donation of protective gear for the football team at a cost of $1,050.
—noted teachers Andrea Kammer and Sandra Rahe are completing internships for becoming school principals, and they will be attending school board meetings regularly.
—approved application for Type V substitute teaching authorization for Amanda Bennett and Penny Johnson.
—approved nonresident students Caleb Deaver from Logan County and Christian Swenson, Bailey Hamaker and Dalton and Darlee McMurrin from Haxtun School District; and transportation request for Hamaker.
—received homeschool notification from Jamie Hahlweg for her children, Jessica and Christopher.

I have a domain with about 200 users on Zimbra 7.2. I'd like for everyone to be able to receive mp3 files except ONE user. I want that one user to just reject emails with an attachment whose name ends with .mp3. I want that one user to be able to receive other attachment types, just not mp3.
I have found methods for rejecting attachment types globally for all users, but I'm looking to reject just one attachment type for just one user.
The message filters at the account level don't seem to be able to work with attachments other than determining if it "exists" or "does not exist."
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

May 24, 2016
Tallahassee, FL-December 19, 2012
Members of the group known as 'The Action' are asking Congress to end the Bush Tax Cuts for the richest 2 percent while keeping the tax breaks for the Middle-Class.
Four people dropped off about 20 letters Wednesday at Representative Steve Southerland's Tallahassee office.
The members say the letters are from people asking the Representative not to raise taxes on the Middle-Class.
They say the letters are from people in Leon and Gadsden counties are from people of all different ages, backgrounds and economic incomes.
Southerland's office released this statement:
"Representative Southerland has opposed efforts to raise taxes throughout his time in Congress, and he opposes efforts to raise taxes now. That said, he's frustrated that tax relief for hardworking families could be used as a political pawn to avoid making necessary choices to save medicare and social security. Unlike some in Washington, Representative Southerland doesn't believe that providing meaningful tax relief and strengthening these vital programs need to be mutually exclusive. He expects solutions that can achieve both goals."

Search: 1871 Census (Ontario)
Search Help: 1871 Census (Ontario)
Districts and Sub-districts: 1871 Census (Ontario)
The 1871 Census marked the first regularly scheduled collection of national statistics. It officially began April 2, 1871.
A total of 206 commissioners were appointed to coordinate the census. Reporting to the commissioners, 2,789 enumerators were then assigned to a clearly defined area.
Enumerators visited 206 census districts, divided into 1,701 sub-districts. These units were made up of cities, towns, groups of townships, Indian reserves, and other less well-defined areas.
Enumerators collected information for 3,485,761 individuals distributed as follows:
The enumeration data were collected using 9 documents, known as schedules, which included a total of 211 questions.
With some exceptions, most of all 9 schedules have been preserved. Please note that only Schedule 1, Nominal Return of the Living, is searchable in the database. The other schedules can be viewed through the Microform Digitization tool.
The 1871 Census returns were first microfilmed in 1967. Only Schedule 1 was microfilmed (microfilms C-601 to C-716). Those microfilms are now obsolete, although some libraries still hold copies of them.
The 1871 Census was re-filmed in 1975 (microfilms C-9888 to C-10570). Those reels include all 9 schedules.
The digitized images found on the Library and Archives Canada (LAC) website have been made by scanning the microfilms of the 1871 Census. As exact copies, a page that was unreadable on microfilm will also be unreadable on your computer screen. Title pages from the microfilm have not been scanned, and contained this information:
These records and those of previous censuses are described in the Statistics Canada fonds, formerly Record Group 31 (RG31).

Rafael Nadal is blogging again for The Times Online during his US Open campaign and discusses the "stolen kiss" incident from the other night in his latest entry entitled "That fan was funny - although I didn't like his kiss!". We figured, but anyway...
Hello everyone,
Hope you all are good. I am great and feeling very good. Yesterday it was very late when I posted my blog. I think that it is the first time ever I have done it after coming back from the tournament so late. I ended up going to sleep after 4 am. It is quite late even for a Spaniard... Specially if you are a tennis player and have to play.
Many people asked me today about yesterday's match. I said to everyone who asked me that I found I played better, starting to feel good. But when I was elaborating on my game I was immediately cut and asked not about the match but about the incident of the guy jumping on court and kissing me and everything you've seen on TV.
To be honest, I didn't see the guy coming. I'd just taken my shirt off to change it when I saw a guy coming to me, kissing me and saying that he loved me... Then I saw the security jumping to him. I didn't think it was important, not serious, and tried to stop the security at some point to leave the guy. You can actually read my lips saying "it's OK". Not that I know a lot of English to explain to them that it was OK, that he was cool and that for me it was OK. Not that I liked the kiss... :-)
So I didn't really give too much importance to it. I just thought, as I say it was funny.
I understand that the tournament's security got nervous, but I was cool with it. As a matter of fact, when I was in the locker room, one of the main guys of the tournament, David Brewer, came to the locker and asked me if I was OK and if the guy had hurt me. I told him I was fine and to please not to do anything to the guy. Jokingly I said "One fan I have tonight - please leave him". I was told that the guy was going to be prosecuted (I think it is the correct way to say it). Hope he is OK.
I understand it is a delicate issue but I have to say that this tournament really takes good care of me. They are really, really nice with me and have lots of attentions with me and my team. From my side no complaints whatsoever, on the contrary I have to thank them for everything they do. Maybe the only complaint is the scheduling... We'll talk another day about that...
Hope this whole thing is taken positively and no one suffers for something like this.
So thanks US Open staff for everything.
It warms my parts, eh, heart to hear Rafa be so understanding about the scary incident. He's taking it in stride and not making a big deal about the fact that the fan was a man who planted the smooch.
I'm pretty sure not every boy baller would react the same way to the incident.

One Direction star Niall Horan has confessed he likes recording the boy band's hits in his underwear.
The 19-year-old singer admits he has started stripping off for luck because he believes his near-naked antics in the studio give the group a little extra luck.
He explains, "I've been doing it for a while. I recorded What Makes You Beautiful in my boxers. What Makes You Beautiful was the first time I did it because it was really warm in the studio, and I've done it ever since. I sing better naked."

Priority area 3: Protected areas .... achieving quality
Much of the Global Protected Areas Programme's efforts in the past have focused on the need to build capacity to manage protected areas effectively. Management effectiveness assessment itself has grown to the point that assessments are being undertaken using a multitude of methods in nearly every country and national governments have committed in Decisions of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity to expand the degree to which Management Effectiveness Assessment is applied. The assessments themselves yield important information about the challenges that protected area managers face in addressing weaknesses, including the need for more advice and guidance on new and emerging topics, like dealing with climate change or restoration, but also what kinds of skills managers need when responding to the weaknesses that are identified.
But assessing management effectiveness using these methods is not enough to address the core question: Are protected areas achieving a sufficient quality of management that they actually meet their objectives. Many governments and agencies are asking IUCN to provide the basis for an independent measure of whether protected areas are achieving quality standards, that can be used for rewarding effective management or for stimulating further investment in addressing the weaknesses that have been identified.
This the focus of GPAP's priority, to facilitate the development of a new international standard for the minimum level of achievement that all protected areas should attain in order to meet their objectives. This standard is being referred to as the IUCN Green List of Well-Managed Protected Areas. Realising that this standard needs to meet the needs of users and be built from the ground up, IUCN WCPA, together with some national partners and other agencies is currently piloting the application of the IUCN Green List, with a view to being able to provide more concrete proposals for its launch at the 2014 6th World Parks Congress in Sydney, Australia.
