Merry Christmas from the Cobram Courier team
On behalf of the team at the Cobram Courier, I wish you and your family a very happy and safe Christmas.JESSICA GRIMBLE December 24, 2012 5:00am
Cobram Courier team and editorial advisory board members - Tim Browne, Matt Jenkins, Paige Sunderland, Jessica Grimble, Hugh Crapp, Randall Johnston, Julie Brooks and Yvonne Gemmill.
On behalf of the team at the Cobram Courier, I wish you and your family a very happy and safe Christmas.
This time of year is a fabulous opportunity to reunite with family and friends and surround yourself with your loved ones, reflecting on another year that has passed.
It's also a time to be vigilant on our roads and heed the continued warnings from our emergency service personnel.
Our hearts go out to the families who will mark this Christmas with one less person at the table.
I'm not shy to admit I'm not the biggest fan of Christmas time.
But this year it's different — spending time with my two little cousins, aged one and three, in the lead-up to the big day has reminded me what Christmas is all about.
Their excitement is infectious.
They are counting down the days until Santa visits their place and decorating Christmas trees and singing carols means that festive spirit is really rubbing off.
Our community has celebrated Christmas together — and I've had the privilege to join some of these celebrations, including our Carols by Candlelight in Barooga at the weekend.
There are some beautifully decorated homes in our towns, and I encourage people to take a drive to look at all the beautiful Christmas lights and appreciate the hard work that goes into these displays.
My family will celebrate Christmas at home on our farm near Horsham, and despite our gathering being just the four of us we'll make it special — because we'll be together again for a few days.
From myself, Matt, Randall, Tim and Paige — have a happy and safe festive season.

Tom Maynard was destined for stardom... what a sad and tragic waste of life
The cricket world is struggling to come to terms with how one of the most promising young batsmen in the country in Tom Maynard could die in such tragic, wasteful circumstances.
Maynard's death in the early hours of Monday, aged just 23, left the game in shock, with the loss felt most acutely at his home ground of The Oval, where England's players practised in stunned silence ahead of Tuesday's second one-day international against West Indies.
Tragedy: Tom Maynard died in an incident early on Monday morning
Sadness: His girlfriend Carly Baker posted an emotional message on Twitter
Talent: Maynard in his Surrey kit
The show will go on on Tuesday but Surrey, reeling from the third such tragedy to hit them in 15 years following the deaths of their players Graham Kersey and Ben Hollioake, quickly postponed their Twenty20 game against Hampshire on Wednesday as a mark of respect.
The son of former England batsman and
batting coach Matthew Maynard moved to London from his native Glamorgan
last year and was quickly earmarked as an England batsman in the making,
touring Bangladesh with the Lions last winter.
Maynard Jnr was a hard-hitting batsman, reminiscent of his father, but
was also skilled enough to score four first-class centuries, including a
poignant one for Surrey against the Glamorgan side he had left in
support of father Matthew when he was sacked as coach.
Hugh Morris, managing director of the England team, is a friend of the
Maynards, having played with Matthew at Glamorgan, and was clearly
distressed when he arrived at The Oval on Monday to comfort England
players and management and Surrey staff.
Horror: Maynard was found dead at Wimbledon Park Tube station
'I've known Tom since he was a little boy and he was an incredibly
talented cricketer and an incredibly likeable young man who had the
world at his feet,' said Morris.
1989: Born on March 25 in Cardiff.
2004: Makes his debut for Glamorgan Under-17s at the age of 15.
2007: June 10 - Scores 71 off 75 balls on his professional debut for Glamorgan against Gloucestershire.
June 24 - Scores 11 off 11 balls on his Twenty20 debut against Warwickshire.
August 16 - Scores 15 on his first-class debut against Somerset.
2010: May - Captains a Glamorgan team that includes his father Matthew, who came out of retirement to play against a Cardiff University side.
2011: January - Leaves Glamorgan and signs for Surrey.
June 17 - Scores maiden century against Glamorgan. Goes on to score more than 1,000 runs in a stellar first season at the Kia Oval.
December 16 - Named in England Lions squad for tour of Bangladesh.
2012: May 9 - Scores highest total of 143 against Worcestershire.
June 17 - Scores seven for Surrey in their Twenty20 match against Kent at Beckenham.
June 18 - Found dead on tracks at Wimbledon Park station after being hit by a train.
'In a way he played just like his old man - Matthew played for England and Tom was very much on that path. It's an absolute tragedy and my heart goes out to Matthew and Sue, his parents.'
Steve James, another former team-mate of Matthew, added on Twitter: 'The lovely kid who was always in our dressing room at Glamorgan grew into a man who would have played for England. How can he be gone so soon?'
Maynard's girlfriend Carly Baker posted an emotional tribute on Twitter. It read: 'My beautiful boyfriend Tom Maynard. I can't cope with this. I love you always and forever. You meant everything to me. We will always be together I love you, Tom. You made me the happiest girl.'
It appeared then that Tom was on the cusp of a great career but there
were some causes for concern. Only last week he had damaged a shoulder
when he was hit by a car during a late night out in Brighton while he
was playing against Sussex at Horsham.
That breach of discipline led to Maynard being left out of Surrey's
opening Twenty20 match against Essex last Wednesday, but he was back
batting against Kent at Beckenham on Sunday just hours before he
embarked on his last tragic car journey.
'Tom was a prodigiously talented young batsman who was clearly destined
for greater things,' said Surrey chairman Richard Thompson.
'The impact
Tom made in such a short space of time for Surrey speaks for itself. To
lose anybody at such a young age is an utterly senseless tragedy.'
Senseless is indeed the word that came to mind as police revealed that Maynard's black Mercedes was stopped at 4.15am on Monday in Arthur Road, Wimbledon, which crosses the London Underground District Line, because he was driving 'erratically'.
You'll be missed: Maynard celebrates a man-of-the-match award with Surrey
England and Surrey batsman Kevin Pietersen said: 'So unbelievably sad!! The Maynard family is so special!! Thoughts are with this special family!!'
England bowler Stuart Broad said: 'Absolutely gutted to hear the news about Tom Maynard. A lovely guy and great talent.'
England wicketkeeper Matt Prior said: 'Such a waste of a very talented and much loved player.'
Former England captain Michael Vaughan said: 'Someone with so much talent and so much to look forward too... Why is life so cruel sometimes...??'
Former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff said: 'Tragic news that a great lad is no longer with us. All my thoughts are with his family.'
Police say Maynard ran off and, less than an hour later, he was struck by a Tube train between Wimbledon Park and Southfields stations. It is believed he had stepped on a live track and been electrocuted before the train struck him.
How on earth Maynard should find himself in such a situation is a
question that will haunt his family and his many friends in the game.
Those friends were desperately seeking answers on Monday night.
Jade Dernbach, a Surrey colleague and close friend of Maynard, was
missing from England's training on Monday and the ECB announced that he
was being stood down from the one-day squad for compassionate reasons.
He is replaced by Chris Woakes.
The Surrey flag was flying at half mast by the time England's subdued
practice session had finished and it will be at half mast again on
Tuesday during an international that clearly will be overshadowed by the
It is almost certain that Maynard would in the future have been wearing
the blue of England in senior limited overs cricket himself, providing
he was able to curb his excesses, but now we will never know how far he
could have gone or whether he would have emulated his father in playing
Test cricket.
That is the biggest tragedy of those horrible last moments Tom Maynard spent in Wimbledon on Monday morning.

As more applications and services move "to the cloud" (public or on-premise) cloud environments are increasingly adopting and building out traditional enterprise features. This in turn is enabling and encouraging cloud adoption from enterprise users. In many ways the definition is blurring as features like continuous operation, geo-distribution or on-demand capacity become the norm. NuoDB is involved in both building enterprise software and using enterprise cloud capabilities.
In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Seth Proctor, CTO at NuoDB, Inc., will discuss the experiences from building, deploying and using enterprise services and suggest some ways to approach moving enterprise applications into a cloud model.
Speaker Bio:
Seth Proctor has 15+ years of experience in the research, design and implementation of scalable systems. That experience includes work on distributed computing, networks, security, languages, operating systems and databases. His particular focus is on how to make technology scale and how to make users scale effectively with their systems. Seth currently serves as the Chief Technology Officer of NuoDB. He holds eight patents for his cutting edge work across several technical disciplines. He has five additional patents awaiting approval, all related to achieving greater database efficiency and end-user agility in decentralized database deployments.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Lawmakers, Guns and Money: Members of Congress Spent $25K on Guns Since 2013
Following the horrific shooting of innocent civilians at an Orlando nightclub on June 12, many members of the media were quick to point out the National Rifle Association's heavy-handed influence and how it contributes to the inaction of elected officials on gun-control issues.
It's no secret that many members of Congress use the gun issue to raise money, but what is rarely reported is that many of these members actually spend campaign money on firearms. In fact, an analysis by CREW using campaign finance data from CQ MoneyLine found that since the beginning of the 2014 election cycle, 13 members of the House and Senate have spent at least $25,526 in campaign funds to purchase guns, ammunition or tickets to gun shows and shooting events.
Why would members of Congress use campaign money to purchase firearms? Well, these members do it for a variety of reasons, but mostly it is a fundraising gimmick. In some cases, the campaigns buy the guns and then give them as gifts to the candidate's supporters. For example, in June 2013, Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) bought $2,230 in "gifts for speaker" from Turnbull Restoration & Manufacturing Company in upstate New York, which sells and restores a wide variety of pistols, handguns, rifles and shotguns.
Candidates also use guns as a feature at campaign events, putting them up for raffles or auctioning them off to bidders. In 2014, Rep. Bill Flores (R-TX) paid Turnbull $5,060 for "silent auction items" while Sen. Susan Collins' (R-ME) campaign bought a shotgun from a firearms distributor for $1,055 for a raffle. At the end of last year, Sen. Ted Cruz's presidential campaign made headlines by auctioning off a Remington 12-gauge shotgun engraved with his campaign logo. The campaign reported spending $639 for "donor memento-personalized engraving" at Dawson Precision, Inc., an arms dealer in Florence, TX. In November 2015, Ryan Zinke's (R-MT) campaign spent $545 at a gun store in Billings, MT for a "fundraising event." He later sent an email to campaign supporters saying he would give away "a signed AR-15 to one of my strongest supporters." In December 2013, Rep. Stephen Fincher's (R-TN) campaign paid $632 to Academy Sports for "Fundraiser Gun Purchase."
In spring of last year, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) announced his campaign would raffle off an AR-15 assault rifle that was autographed by rock-star-turned-pundit and NRA board member Ted Nugent. The campaign reported a $1,010 expense at Shooter's Outlet in Arcadia, IA, which was described as a "raffle item." According to Rep. King's Facebook page, a man named Trent, who was described as a Ted Nugent fan, won the AR-15. That fall, Rep. King's campaign again raffled off a gun – this time a Henry .30/.30 rifle signed by Republican presidential candidates Sen. Ted Cruz, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and former Sen. Rick Santorum. It also reported spending $1,375 at Shooter's Outlet on the "raffle item." While the campaign disavows any and all liability associated with the weapon, the official rules for the events do not mention any requirement for the prize winners to undergo a background check.
In many cases, campaigns report in-kind contributions of firearms they then use to auction off to supporters at events. In September of 2014, for instance, Sen. James Inhofe's (R-OK) joint fundraising committee accepted $2,269 worth of shotguns and $2,976 of ammunition in in-kind contributions that were both labeled "event expense." Rep. Jason Smith (R-IL) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) also reported in-kind contributions of firearms that were used for raffles.
Other members hold gun-themed events at shooting ranges or gun clubs. Rep. Richard Nugent (R-FL) did not buy guns, but spent $644 of campaign money on a "shooting event" at a trap and skeet shooting range in Prince George's County, Maryland. Rep. John Culberson (R-TX) also spent $5,550 at a gun club in Houston, TX for an "event deposit" and "balance for event (range & firearm rentals, ammo)." Rep. Duncan D. Hunter's (R-CA) campaign listed a $291 expenditure described only as "ammo", though it is unclear if this was in connection to a campaign event.
CREW also found firearms purchases by federal candidates who lost, as well as by state-level politicians and local party committees and PACs not included in the total tally.
Many lesser-known congressional challengers are also using gun giveaways as a tactic to attract attention for their campaigns and obtain e-mail addresses for their fundraising lists. In March 2016, for instance, Tim Neville, a Senate candidate in Colorado, spent $699 at a gun store for a "firearm giveaway" in which he offered the chance to win an AR-15 to anyone who caucused for him. Johnny Tacherra, a House candidate in California's 16th district, held a "2nd Amendment BBQ" at a gun dealership in which anyone who made the maximum contribution of $2,700 to his campaign received one of two models of Smith & Wesson handguns. The campaign reported paying Full Spectrum Firearms $3,632 for "event prizes."
These gun giveaways exist at the potentially tricky intersection of gun laws and campaign finance laws. If these politicians are not careful, they could find themselves in legal hot water. For example, some states require anyone transferring a firearm to someone else to conduct a background check before doing so. Some campaigns are cautious and take steps to assure that the weapon is technically given away by a licensed dealer who conducts a criminal background check, but it is unclear if all of these campaigns follow the proper procedures. The campaigns also need to take care not to exceed contribution limits by accepting in-kind contributions of high value while also properly disclosing the purchase of any firearms.
In giving guns away, these politicians are successfully raising money for their campaigns, but they do run a worst-case scenario risk that one of the weapons could fall into the wrong hands and perhaps even be used in a crime or act of violence. Campaigns have gone ahead with using firearms to raise money nonetheless, showing how important and lucrative guns are to them and their campaign coffers.

Florida Medicaid Initiative Tied to Rep. Corrine Brown Funded by Sham Nonprofit
Former Jacksonville, FL City Council candidate Mincy Pollock was recently pulled into the scandal surrounding Rep. Corrine Brown (D-FL) and sham nonprofit One Door for Education. Pollock was visited by federal agents following allegations from his former business partner concerning checks that Pollock wrote from their business last year in a dizzying sequence of suspicious money movement—including two to One Door. A CREW investigation reveals that Pollock may have used One Door to indirectly fund a state ballot initiative expanding Medicaid, raising new questions about how One Door operated and why the One Door money was used to support the initiative.

Are Montana Politicians Really "Incorruptible"?
In the Federalist Papers, James Madison noted that "if angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary." Of course, he recognized we were not to be governed by "angels," but by "men," and so laws were necessary to "oblige [the government] to control itself." According to U.S. District Judge Charles Lovell, however, Madison needn't have concerned himself: we could have just been ruled by "Montana politicians," who the Judge found were "relatively incorruptible."

Why is Larrimore starting over Hankins? Simon and Hankins should be the starting defensive tackles, or at least, the bigger Hankins should have been playing more against Wisconsin's gigantic offensive line. Why is our linebacking talent and depth so poor? Why don't we have at least one star player in the secondary, like we used to every year? This defense lacks the size, speed, and general athleticism that we once saw in Buckeye defenses. Who's accountable and responsible for this slide? Tressell? Heacock? Fickle? Bo Pelini would surely improve the defense.
#2 Oct 17, 2010
weak schedule + poor play calling at critical moments = no more #1.
#3 Oct 17, 2010
I love Wisconsin's style of play. When you have the horses to do it, it works. It also takes a good defense. If you fall behind...it doesn't work. The Badgers had the luxury of a large lead. Special teams play cost the Buckeyes and allowed Wisconsin to get comfortable.
#4 Oct 17, 2010
Wow- After reading all that the Dispatch writers have to say about the Buckeyes, one would certainly think they had been transplanted in Ohio from Wisconsin! With local writers like this, who needs enemies?

OK, Wisconsin is huge, and plays great football. So, how about this?
10/02/10 vs. Wisconsin * East Lansing, Mich. W, 34-24
What happened with the Badger's awesome physical game there? With their deadly "one-two punch"? With their crafty ball control? Doesn't a better team simply beat them? Looks like it.

Wisconsin gave OSU a good wippin. The OSU slow overrated offensive and defensive lines are terrible. The self-absorbed, self-complimentary, self-congratulatory Columbus press gives a lie to the fans from Ohio.

#8 Oct 18, 2010
Last night as I tried to distance myself from the anguish of losing to the Badgers, my mind began to wonder.
I recalled the devastating, colossal losses of Jim Tressel's career: Michigan 2003, Iowa '04, Texas '05, Illinois '07, USC '08 & '09, and of course, Florida and LSU. Each year owns an epic failure of this kind, where, less these events, another trophy might be collecting dust in the Woody Hayes Center; where each is punctuated with a theme of either one-sidedness or a grasping at greatness, both only to end with devastation. Cut to Ryan Hamby bobbling a pass in the end zone. Without much effort, it is as if each was made anew.
It is easy to follow the familiar path of indignation to the size of the loss and the unaffected demeanor of Tressel. And further dissatisfaction with another national exhibition filed under "Overrated". Dissatisfied with the disparity between expectations and execution. 21-0, two minutes into the second quarter. The number ONE team in the country. That really says it all. If you can't handle this, you don't deserve a chance to embarrass the entire state of Ohio against Boise State in January.
But as reason sets in, I remember two coaches at mid-fieldreminding me of so many other, similar exchanges. I remember the now fired Tim Brewster embarrassing himself after a blowout loss last week, a thrown headset in Tennessee, Butch Jones's red face in Cincinnati, a sputtering John L. Smith at half-time in 2005, the rantings of Lloyd Carr, and yes, even the scene of a Clemson player on the sidelines of the 1978 Gator Bowl. Coaches with a style and demeanor more synonymous with a drunken soccer fan than someone who may represent me, or my school, or my favorite team, or my state.
Cut to another scene, as Jim Tressel walks across a field to provide genuine congratulations to his counterpart, and then go single out his opponent's quarterback and congratulate him, and then go back to the locker room and pick up the pieces. Then pick up the pieces when he gets home to Columbus. And do it again on media day. Call another play. Run another practice. Play another game. Guide another season to its close.
Suddenly my dissatisfaction has faded. 11-1 and a bowl game. Beat Michigan. Share a Big Ten title, maybe. Maybe watch an old friend take Sparty to a title game. Get Pryor back next year and reload. If he stays, he breaks every offensive record at OSU. Maybe a Heisman. Maybe another shot at the title.
In any event, well always have a dog in the fight. A light of constant strain, whose staying power is seldom questioned, and an image which transcends trite idioms like good sportsmanship, mostly because he embodies that quality to a degree that might convince you he invented it.
Krenzel, Smith, Pryor, Doss, Gamble, Hawk, whose face do you remember best? I remember a grey-haired, unassuming coach with a headset, vigorously chewing gum, and wearing something called a sweater-vest.

two things happened Ron that may have had somethimg to do with the loss? First: Toon, was out and also Gilbreath which took a lot of the passing game away. Second and I think the most important was James White. He was used sparingly (freshman) and now he's brought in because he's the real deal and can change the entire game.
#12 Oct 21, 2010
Great points, ArizonaBuckeye. I suppose some might say OSU also has problems with players out, injuries, etc. Toon is more pivotal to U-Dub than any of our injured guys are to us. Still, it was interesting--and not entirely unrewarding---to see U-Dub pick up a "W." Stay tuned, I guess....

It seems that this place may have been a lot nicer in the past, and since then things have somehow gone south a little bit.. It's kind of all over the shop, staff included. Strange atmosphere. Breakfast is cheapest possible stuff.. Internet was as good as no internet at all, since they only allow a handful of people to connect the network at times, so you might have to wait up to half an hour, and even then it disconnects constantly. There are much better places out there..

MapR Technologies, Inc., provider of the top-ranked distribution for Apache Hadoop, today announced a strategic partnership with Databricks and the addition of the complete Apache Spark technology stack to the MapR Distribution. The Spark in-memory processing framework provides speed, programming ease and real-time processing advantages.
"It has become clear that Apache Spark offers a combination of high-performance, in-memory data processing and multiple computation models that is well suited to serving as the basis of next-generation data processing platforms," commented Matt Aslett, research director, data platforms and analytics, 451 Research. "MapR's support for the complete Spark stack, combined with its partnership with Databricks, should give Hadoop users the confidence to start developing applications to take advantage of Spark's performance and flexibility."
Organizations are looking for easier and faster ways to derive value from big data. Spark improves both performance and developer productivity:
- Performance. Spark provides a general-purpose execution framework with in-memory pipelining to speed up end-to-end application performance. For many applications, this results in a 5-100x performance improvement.
- Developer productivity. Spark jobs can require as little as 1/5th the number of lines of code. Spark provides a simple programming abstraction allowing developers to design applications as operations on data collections (known as RDDs, or Resilient Distributed Dataset). Developers can build these applications in multiple programming languages, including Java, Scala and Python, and the same code can be reused across batch, interactive and streaming applications.
Many organizations are currently running Spark in production in their MapR environments. Their Spark-based applications benefit from the enterprise-grade dependability and performance of the MapR Distribution, and from the ability to process real-time operational data due to MapR's Direct Access NFS interface.
With the inclusion of the complete Spark stack in the MapR Distribution, MapR customers can obtain 24x7 support for all projects in the Spark stack. In addition, MapR and Databricks are joining forces to drive the roadmap and accelerate innovation on these projects. This will benefit MapR customers and the broader Hadoop community over the coming years, starting with the upcoming release of Apache Spark 1.0.
"As the driving force behind Spark, Databricks is thrilled to enter into such a strategic partnership with MapR," said Ion Stoica, CEO of Databricks. "We are looking forward to combining MapR's enterprise-grade dependability and performance with Spark, the next generation big data engine, to enable enterprises to unlock deeper insights from their data, faster."
"The open source community is developing tremendous technology innovations at a rapid pace," said John Schroeder, CEO and cofounder, MapR Technologies. "MapR provides a future-proof investment for our customers with the most open distribution to give them flexibility to pick the right solution with the widest range of compute frameworks and libraries."
The Spark stack includes five unique Apache open source projects. With the introduction of the complete Spark stack, the MapR Distribution now includes more than 20 Apache open source projects. These projects support a wide range of use cases, including batch, interactive, streaming, graph and machine leaning. MapR is the only distribution with a monthly release cadence for Apache open source projects. This enables customers to upgrade components of the distribution without upgrading the entire cluster. It also enables faster adoption of open source innovation while reducing the risk of disruption to the production cluster services.
About MapR Technologies
MapR delivers on the promise of Hadoop with a proven, enterprise-grade platform that supports a broad set of mission-critical and real-time production uses. MapR brings unprecedented dependability, ease-of-use and world-record speed to Hadoop, NoSQL, database and streaming applications in one unified distribution for Hadoop. MapR is used by more than 500 customers across financial services, retail, media, healthcare, manufacturing, telecommunications and government organizations as well as by leading Fortune 100 and Web 2.0 companies. Amazon, Cisco, Google and HP are part of the broad MapR partner ecosystem. Investors include Lightspeed Venture Partners, Mayfield Fund, NEA, and Redpoint Ventures. MapR is based in San Jose, CA. Connect with MapR on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

But overall, nice concept.
I don't remember exactly because it's been a few months since I did the research, but as far as I know, the Apricorns were tinkered with to make them more effective. They basically split them in half and added a hinge and a lock mechanism to make it easier to open and close. The Apricorn itself already has the ability to capture and hold Pokémon, but it can be made better.

Herbert: Solemn and humbling to see ground zero
AP Photo/Mark Lennihan\r\n
NEW YORK CITY — Gov. Gary Herbert said Friday it's solemn and humbling to see ground zero as the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks nears.
The governor, in New York City to meet with American Express and other companies looking to expand in Utah, described the sight to KSL NewsRadio's Doug Wright during a broadcast from the east coast city.
"It's a solemn thing to look and see where these great, big twin towers were and now there's nothing," Herbert said. "It's humbling, I think for all of us. But it brings also a spirit of gratitude and thanksgiving for what we stand for in America."
Herbert said it's important to take time to remember and reflect on the events of 9/11 and the actions taken by the nation in response.
"I think we're a stronger nation on many levels than we were 10 years ago," the governor said. "So out of tragedy comes good things. I think we need to emphasize the good things that are coming out of it."
He said he has a great appreciation for the resiliency of New Yorkers who have stayed strong enough to "spit in your eye" and say, "'Don't get me down.'"
Saying they exemplify the American spirit, the governor said no one should ever "mistake freedom and liberty, which we have in America for weakness. Because we are going to fight for freedom and liberty."
Herbert said he is "proud of our American spirit and I think it's on display. That's the silver lining to the cloud that we will celebrate here in remembrance."

CE Pro's industry-leading website--www.cepro.com--now has a mobile version optimized for iPhone and Android. Tablet users will continue to view the full website.
The wait is over! CE Pro's website, http://www.cepro.com, now has a mobile device version available for readers.
The speedy mobile version of the industry's leading site, which has 100,000+ unique visitors and 500,000 pageviews monthly, is a fast and portable way to read breaking news, download white papers, watch videos, view slideshows and more.
Users do not need to type in a separate mobile URL. The site will automatically detect that you are accessing cepro.com via a mobile device and redirect to the new well-designed mobile version. The tablet experience will remain the same with the full site available.
Integrators, technicians and sales staff in the field will no longer need to wait (and wait and wait and wait in some cases) for the full website to load on their mobile devices. Easy-to-use pull-down navigation bars allow users to quickly access News (including blogs, products, CE Profiles, and the CE Pro 100), Topics (such as audio, displays, home automation, lighting control, security, networking and more), and full Search capabilities.
So when you are early to an appointment, have a break on the job or stop for lunch, CE Pro information is handy and available as a key business resource.
In yet another evolution, an optimized version of each printed issue of CE Pro magazine will soon be available in the Apple App Store for tablets. A digital edition version of the publication has been available on desktop computers for over 5 years.
