Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program
Would you like to participate in the Disadvangaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program?
Download, complete, and submit the DBE Application.
The DBE Certification Program allows the solicitation and assistance to disadvantage businesses to participate in the procurement process and performance of City contracts.
A Disadvantage Business Enterprise (DBE) is a small business:
- which is at least fifty-one percent (51%) owned and operated by one or more socially or economically disadvantage individuals.
- where the businesses daily operations shall be managed and controlled by one or more of the socially or economically disadvantaged individuals who own it.
The City of Wilmington directs contracting and subcontracting opportunities toward economically and socially disadvantaged individuals who are among the chronically unemployed or underemployed. To this end, the City has identified two demographic sub groups in its population (African Americans and Hispanics) which have unemployment rates fifty (50) percent above the prevailing State of Delaware unemployment rates.
In determining disadvantaged individuals, the City may review the net worth of individuals regardless of race, color, creed, sex or national origin. A presumption of economic disadvantage is if the net worth of each of the individuals who together own and control 51 percent or more of the disadvantaged business enterprise, exclusive of up to $150,000.00 of equity in his or her primary residence, is less than $500,000.00.

Women's Basketball
News: Women's Basketball Wins Saddleback Tournament, Now 6-0
Like a sports car driving on its way to Las Vegas, the Pasadena City College women's basketball team has left the disappointment of last season behind in its rear view mirror. The No. 10-ranked Lancers are back to being a state power as exemplified by their triumph in winning the Saddleback College Lady Gaucho Classic II held Nov. 16-18 in Mission Viejo.
The Lancers are a perfect 6-0 after winning three games at the 6-team tourney. While a round-robin tournament, Saddleback used a points system to name a champion and PCC earned the title. PCC went 3-0 at the season-opening Lancers-hosted Veteran's Day Classic, but only individual awards were exchanged since Citrus also went 3-0 at that round-robin affair.
At Saddleback, the Lancers capped the tourney Saturday by routing the host Gauchos, 72-49, behind the play of tourney MVP and sophomore point guard Shay Jackson, who scored 16 points (8-for-11 from the free throw line) with five rebounds and three assists. PCC led just 33-32 early in the second half before the Lancers went on a 7-0 run. Saddleback shaved it to 40-36 when PCC exploded for an 18-1 run midway through the half that put the win away.. During the spurt, Jackson hit back-to-back layups to start it and had nine of her points in the stretch.
Frosh center Kaitlyn Parks made a double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds plus three blocked shots. Reserve guard Desiree Loving added 12 points and seven rebounds.
In the second round, the Lancers won a defensive struggle over Scottsdale Community College in Arizona, 43-39. Sophomore shooting guard Stella Ghazarian put on an amazing display in scoring her team's last 15 points of the game over the final eight minutes to pull things out for the Lancers. Pasadena trailed, 33-26, with 10 minutes left in the game. But with 3:26 remaining, Ghazarian capped a personal run of 11 consecutive points with her third 3-point bomb that gave PCC a 39-37 lead. She later hit four free throws to ice the victory. Loving added 12 points.
In the opening round, the Lancers bombed San Diego City, 77-46. Ghazarian totaled 14 points, including four 3-pointers, and sophomore forward Sabrina Martinez added 12 points and five steals. Parks contributed 13 points and eight rebounds. PCC head coach Joe Peron was able to see all 14 of his players reach the scoring column. Martinez was picked All-Saddleback Tournament along with Jackson.
PCC's defense has been a brightspot so far as the team allowed an average of just 44 points per game at Saddleback.
PCC will host the 15th edition of the Rose City Classic on Dec. 7-9 at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium. Tournament schedule will be announced soon on this website.

GORE-TEX® Active Shell: Provides extreme breathability along with durable waterproof and windproof protection for all-weather, high-aerobic activities. It combines a lighter, thinner GORE-TEX® membrane, with fine denier performance textiles to deliver a streamlined three-layer construction. New for Spring '12, this brings a never-before-seen level of comfort performance to waterproof apparel.
GORE-TEX® Paclite®: Combining extreme breathability and durable wind and waterproof protection with minimum weight and pack volume, GORE-TEX® Paclite® shells use a specific membrane with a protective internal layer made of an oil-hating/carbon hybrid – eliminating the need for a separate lining, making this lighter, smaller, and easier to pack away.
GORE-TEX® Performance Shell: Specifically engineered to form an impenetrable barrier against wind and water while maintaining breathability, this waterproof material uses a two-layer construction for a lighter, softer feel – and in a three-layer construction for a more heavy-duty alternative.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gelt lover Finally some gelt!!!! I looked every where in Santa Barbara for Hanukkah gelt...real gelt that had stars or menorahs and this was the only store that had it. If I hadn't found this I would have had to resort to Palmer's american coin chocolates (yuck!) So happy to have found this gelt! I loved Manischewitz gelt but haven't been able to find it for several years here in California. I have had people scouting for it in Northern CA and in the LA area-nothing. this gelt is tasty but not as good as Manischewitz. It comes as pictured on this website in a blue mesh bag. It has 5.29 oz and 40 coins 14 large round ones and the rest the smaller size. It is a little thicker than the Manischewitz as well. Both sides of the coins have the menorahs. November 28, 2011

Zend_Search_Lucene_Document_Html will not list links from image maps. To resolve we just need to add code to pull in all urls from the AREA tag's href. I have a fix ready. Where should I post it?
Here is the file which contains the fix.
It is better to submit a patch than the whole file. It is hard to see what has changed if you provide the whole file. If you don't know how to make a patch, it is easy. Just run this command at the root of your svn repo: "svn diff > file_name.patch" (without quotes).
Hello, I've added some unit tests to your patch. Please see attached file.
Nice patch, Christopher!
Wrong issue was resolved :) So, I've reopened it
Fixed in the trunk and in the release branch.
Must say again, good patch, John and Christopher! :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by katyp Beautiful! I love the happy color and design on the rim. I often use for dinner vegetables because the bowl doesn't take up too much space on the table. I have also used it for instant oatmeal because it is less likely to boil over in the microwave. August 25, 2010

Rated 2 out of 5 by KMB147 Wrong size; looks cheap Both laundry service pieces offered by WM are listed under incorrect size. They are both 12 inches square.

MACON, Ga. (Feb. 24, 2010) - With one last tune-up before the 2010 Atlantic Sun Indoor Track and Field Championships, Duronal Monal (Belle Glade, Fla.) made the most of the final competition, as the senior sprinter claimed the 55m title at the Mountaineer Open. On Wednesday, the Atlantic Sun Conference tabbed Monal with Athlete of the Week honors after his strong performance in Boone, N.C.
Monal, who advanced to the finals after winning the prelims with a time of 6.29, captured the crown in the 55m after sprinting in at 6.27 - beating out Appalachian State's Landon Powell (6.36).
The Belle Glade, Fla. native holds the league's fastest time in both the 60m and 200m, and he looks to capture gold in both events this weekend at the conference championships in Johnson City.

Providing cost-effective, high-quality care for executives
The Adventist Bolingbrook hospital Executive Health Program is designed to accommodate the unique health care needs and time constraints of corporate executives. For more than 20 years, we have been helping companies protect one of their most valuable resources -- the health and well-being of their top executives.
Faced with heavy responsibility in their jobs, many executives lack the time to take responsibility for their own health, putting off physical exams and preventive screenings. At the same time, the executive's intense, stressful lifestyle may place him or her at high risk for conditions such as hypertension or weight gain. Our program allows executives to meet their health needs in one place. We provide a thorough and coordinated medical, physical and nutritional evaluation, with emphasis placed on early detection and prevention of illness, and modification of potentially harmful risk factors.
For the convenience of our clients, ABH Executive Health Coordinators schedule appointments and provide assistance in locating various departments on the day of the exam. They also help with follow ups and coordinating other services for the convenience of the executives. To make time here as comfortable and productive as possible, we provide an Executive Health Lounge to ensure privacy and accommodate phone calls, and Internet access. We are also happy to accomodate the need for flexibility in our packages, particularly during these difficult economic times.
Healthier executives lead to healthier corporations. As executives gain better health awareness and learn to pursue lower-risk lifestyles, their productivity, concentration and vitality increase. Healthy leaders can also serve as role models for other employees, enhancing corporate wellness promotion efforts.

The Department of Arkansas Heritage plans to host a series of events next month centered on commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Arkansas Post.
The Texarkana Gazette reports Monday (http://bit.ly/12ZVKB2 ) that the monthlong commemoration will include lectures and exhibits sanctioned by the Arkansas Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission.
The Battle of Arkansas Post took place in early 1863 about 45 miles downriver from Pine Bluff.
Union boats started landing troops on Jan. 9, 1863 to overrun Confederate trenches while Union Army artillery started firing from across the river on Jan. 11, 1863 —eventually forcing a surrender.
The historic commission's events will include a Jan. 9 lecture at the Old State House Museum in Little Rock.

I recently read Hilary Liftin's book "Candy and Me" which is an autobiographical story about her love affair with candy. Her favorite throughout the story is Wonka's Bottle Caps, which I admit is a candy that I don't have much experience with. Therefore, I decided it was worth checking out.
In essence Bottle Caps are soda flavored compressed dextrose tablets. The cute little discs that have the fluted edges so they look like the metal caps on glass soda bottles back in the good 'ol days. The cover of the package shows these goofy looking Bottle Caps with googly eyes and it looks like one is even about to raspberry us (at least it looks like it to me). The colors are not very intense with a chalky appeareance. The colors are light purple, light brown, light orange and a surprisingly deep raspberry pink color.
Purple: My guess of grape soda was spot on (what else could it have been, really?). The flavor was pretty mild, but definitly of grape soda. I didn't get that spicy soda kick from it which was disappointing. I chewed the tablet in hopes of releasing more flavor, but it didn't deliver. It was just mildly sweet with a little tartness at the end, but overall disappointly bland.
Pink: I had no idea what to expect from this flavor. Pink soda? It was immediately clear once I popped one into my mouth. Cherry. It had a very artificial, slightly tart cherry flavor. It was more flavorful than the grape (which isn't a feat really) yet it didn't remind me of soda at all. I felt like I just chewed a cherry Tums or something.
Orange: This flavor was another no brainer. This was very much like orange soda, except for the "cool" flavor and texture coming from the dextrose. It was orangey, very Tang like with a good mix of tart and sweet.
Brown: I was expecting this to be a cola flavor, so imagine my surprise when it turned out to be root beer! Yay! It had an awesome old fashioned flavor with great spicy, woodsy notes with a good wintergreen kick. Easily the best of the bunch and hands down my favorite.
I don't think I'll ever pick pick these again unless they start making packets that are just the root beer flavor. Now there's an idea, hrmmm…

Citizens United for Rehabilitation of Errants (CURE)
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Citizens United for Rehabilitation of Errants (CURE)
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionSustainable Development A statement to the Rio +20 Conference by Citizens United for Rehabilitation of Errants, (CURE) in special consultative status with ECOSOC Sustainability of development requires institutional frameworks based on a firm foundation in those social developments which emphasize human rights and promote the common good. Institutions must be structured to encourage multitudes of partnerships for empowerments of those living in poverty, through cooperation. Some of the key social-development antidotes to corrosion of development and return of poverty are: a social protection floor, decent work, and social services that facilitate them. Foundational social-services include quality programs in health, education, and criminal-Justice. Programs to enable all people to have a voice to participate in the social, economic, environmental and political life of the neighborhood, local government, and national government are imperative. Social Protection Floor Sustainability depends on a minimal level of social protection against economic collapse and natural disasters. Everyone should be able to access at least basic health, primary education, housing, water, sanitation and other essential services. The Social Protection Floor, sponsored by the International Labor Organization and the World Health Organization, is a key vehicle. Health A sustained economy needs a sustained, healthy population. This includes combating diseases such as AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis that particularly affect those living in poverty, by implementing the necessary immunization, education and other programmes, and by training health practitioners to identify and treat such illnesses. Often neglected, is the provision of treatments for drug addiction and for those who are mentally ill, which can be major corrosive problems among those living in poverty. Agriculture Agriculture is particularly vital in many developing countries, and the pay-back from investment can be particularly impressive, if oriented to building a sustainable environment. We urge the creation of structures of participation that permit dialogue between small farmers, scientists, agribusiness and NGOs to explore technology transfer, and sustainable agricultural practices to improve productivity while restoring the soil and the natural environment. We urge the development of national and local agricultural policy and implementation plans with budget allocations that address infrastructure ? irrigation, farm machinery, transport, storage facilities, etc. to empower small scale farmers, many of whom are women, to produce and market food. Education The strength of the society is directly related to the quality of its education resources. Education must develop the whole person, including respect for community and participation in its function. Since the most important factor in improving education is ensuring that the teachers are properly trained, motivated, and supervised, care for the training and compensation of teachers are of first importance. Job training aimed at decent work in productive areas that are known to need skilled workers should be a high priority. Development of a green economy depends on the integration of green philosophy and technology in the educational system. Training in small business management and microfinance are valuable additions to empower new and sustainable business capability. Criminal Justice We recommend that States expand Justice systems, including mediation and other non-formal dispute resolution mechanisms, in accordance with human rights standards. We further recommend use of restorative Justice approaches and community service to restore harmony within the community as opposed to incarceration as punishment. The family is the core unit of society; hence violence within the family is particularly destructive. The legal rights of women and children must be clear and unambiguous. Laws against domestic violence must be fully enforced, bearing in mind that restorative practices, education, and counseling are appropriate in these cases. We recommend that all Justice and prison systems further organize and support, as a primary and priority function, programs to rehabilitate and reintegrate offenders as contributing members of society.

What better way to end the week of our Independence Day than with a stellar night out on a Provo garage rooftop?
Heartbreakers and American Girls: The Songs of Tom Petty
Provo Town Square Parking Terrace, Friday, July 6, 8 p.m., free
The July edition of the monthly summertime Rooftop Concert Series in Provo offers a real treat, courtesy of a batch of musicians recruited by local singer/songwriter Paul Jacobsen and an all-star ad hoc local supergroup. The collection of more than 20 musicians and singers is tackling a set of the woefully under-appreciated (in my opinion) Tom Petty. Expect some greatest Petty hits, some deep album cuts and maybe some of his contributions to the Traveling Wilburys, performed by members of local bands like The Devil Whale, The Moth and the Flame, Fictionist, Neon Trees and more.
Dan Nailen has written about music, arts and culture in and around Salt Lake City for Salt Lake magazine, The Salt Lake Tribune and Salt Lake City Weekly since 1998. He's currently a contributor to saltlakemagazine.com, and you can find more of his work at SLCene.com.

Is it time to close the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba?
Don't even attempt to come on here and spout the constitution when you supported Bush/Cheney and the constitution busting Republicans of the last administration. Shame on you.

Dusty---What are you talking about? If one branch of gov't overturns another branch's action that doesn't mean the action was criminal or unconstitutional or ignorant. I'm pretty sure Obama has read the constitution, he taught constitutional law for goodness sakes. But I defer to you, who knows all.

Dusty---Who refused to allow the closing of "club gitmo"? WHO?
5 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
We just turn them loose in the USA, give them all the "benefits", ie cash, food stamps, section 8 housing, send them to college, free pressure cookers, backpacks, free trips back to Mecca etc. I'm sure nothing would happen since they are just "misunstood freedom fighters". Let's have a national lottery where all the "progressives" can sign up to take one home.

Before exploring the possibility of speedy executions for remaining prisoners, it ought to be pointed out that 86 of them have since been cleared for release (some for years). They weren't even terrorists.
7 Agrees | 5 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The Gov't needs to cut expenses and to increase its creditabity in the world and closing Gitmo is a good start on both those fronts. These individuals all deserve to know what they are being charged with and put on trial. They cannot be detained forever without a trial that is against what America is all about.
8 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Yes. There is an unused Federal prison in Wisconson or some where like that is was being considered to house these individuals. They have been held for years without have the benefit of a trial or a chance to view the complete set of charges against them. The military needs to turn them over to Federal authorities and wash their hands of the whole mess.

Well, maybe I'd better say slower-than-molasses.
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Veritas, I agree with you if these laws are followed. When it comes to trials and implementation of sentences, speedy is better than slower-as-molasses.
3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Why close it? These people are terrorists, enemies of our nation,they need to be treated as such!Many should be given the death sentence, but will never receive it due to liberal objections,if their loved ones had been in the twin towers I wonder if they would still feel the same? I certainly don't want these criminals housed next to me! So leave them there, a good place for them!!!
11 Agrees | 10 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
It never should have been devised, but as it has, should be shut down without delay. The military prison at Guantanamo Bay (and the larger extrajudicial process in the 'War on Terror' as a whole) is a step backward as a freedom-touting nation.

"Not quite ripe" is the way we jointly summed it up.
Needless to say, the Blue Lemon folks were not happy that I was not happy. But we talked, I was told several things were changing at the restaurant, and I was encouraged to try it again.
And I just did, last week, with a happy ending.
Blue Lemon is the downtown branch of a Highland original-an early denizen of City Creek. One day, the chic, contemporary express-style cafe should be packed for breakfast, lunch and dinner with Utahns and visitors shopping and enjoying our fab new future city.
Right now, pedestrian traffic is light, and when we ate there on a weekend evening, only a few tables were taken-I imagine lunch is busier.
But when the crowds do come, Blue Lemon is now ready.
Not only was the food good, stylishly presented and reasonably priced, the service was friendly and over-the-top thoughtful. Example: When we ordered a sandwich to take to a friend along with our dinner, our server offered to put the takeout order in to the kitchen when we were close to finishing our meal, so the panini would be fresh when we delivered it.
The service is partially self-you place your order and the food is brought to your table- and the menu is simple.
Fettucine alfredo with chicken (above) had a light but satisfyingly creamy coating on the nicely cooked pasta, delivering the mouthfeel of comfort food without the heft. My chicken breast with artichoke hearts, tomatoes and fresh spinach on mashed potatoes was a fresh, generous plateful, and again, tasted more luxurious than it felt. (That's a good thing.)
And the corn-tortilla soup was terrific-clear, strong, broth with fresh vegetables, tortilla strips and a hint of afterburn.
Blue Lemon prides itself on this light touch, the healthiness of its offerings in terms of calories and fat.
But a meal here doesn't make you feel like you've eaten "lite." It just makes you feel like you've eaten smart.

To keep you entertained while I take a little break, I've asked a few of my favorite bloggers and friends to tell me about the kind of cooking they do on vacation, whether they're visiting friends or family, renting a place, camping, etc. I wasn't necessarily looking for anything fancy, and was just as interested in the lazy stuff one cooks under those circumstances.
I'll be publishing this Q&A series until the end of the month, and I hope you'll be as inspired and delighted as I am by my guests' answers. If you're anything like me, you'll feel transported by the stories they shared from their nomadic kitchens — and I hope you'll chime in with your own.
A companion series will be running on the French version of Chocolate & Zucchini, so if you read French, you're in for a double treat.
Thanks to all my guests for taking time out of their busy summers to participate, and to you for reading. Be well and see you soon!

The MM Racing karting suit is constructed with abrasion resistant DuPont Cordura® outer layer and DuPont CoolMax® inner layer. Quilted exterior and interior stitching, ribbed collar, wrist/ankle cuffs and elastic under the arms give this suit superior comfort and wearability. The right sleeve is equipped with removable padding for added elbow and upper arm protection. Embroidered logos, piped epaulettes, exterior pockets and adjustable belt give this suit a stylish appearance. (NOTE: Pictures is of a size large/x-large (58) with 5' 9" model, weighing 180 pounds. Gloves and shoes are for display purposes only and are not included with the suit.)
This suit is designed to meet FIA / CIK homologation regulations.
Key Features:
CoolMax® has been specifically engineered to keep you dry and comfortable through proprietary four-channel fibers developed by DuPont. When the body perspires, CoolMax® moves moisture quickly away from the skin to the outer layer of the fabric. It then dries that moisture faster than any other fabric on the market today.
CoolMax® performance fabrics help regulate your body temperatures to keep you cool.
In tests of athletes wearing garments with CoolMax® vs. garments with nylon, an energy-optimizing effect called "thermo regulation" took place. CoolMax® cooled the body-core temperature by drawing heat-generated moisture away from the skin.
The results? These tests demonstrated that muscles kept at optimum temperature improve performance and delay exhaustion. Wearing garments with CoolMax® reduces the energy required to cool the body core, increasing performance and endurance.*
*Research conducted at the ETH Institute for Biomechanics, Zurich--renowned as a world leader in the science of human development.
What's CoolMax®?DuPont CoolMax® is a high-performance fabric that can help the athletic performance of the people who wear it. Using DuPont's proprietary Dacron;® fibers, CoolMax® moves sweat away from the body to the outer layer of the fabric, where it dries faster than any other fabric. (In moisture management tests, garments made with CoolMax ® dried almost completely in 30 minutes. Cotton, by comparison, remained wet by nearly 50%.
Sweat saps your strength. Better evaporation means you spend less energy to cool your body, which increases your performance and endurance. And because CoolMax® has better breathability, nothing's more comfortable to wear.

Small bowel bacterial overgrowth is a condition in which very large numbers of bacteria grow in the small intestine.
Overgrowth - intestinal bacteria; Bacterial overgrowth - intestine
Unlike the large intestine, the small intestine does not have a high number of bacteria. When there are too many bacteria in the small intestine, these organisms use up the nutrients that would otherwise be absorbed into the body. A person with small bowel bacterial overgrowth may become malnourished as a result.
The breakdown of nutrients in the small intestine by the excess bacteria can also damage the intestinal lining. This can make it even harder for the body to absorb nutrients.
Conditions that can lead to overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine include:
The most common symptoms are:
Other symptoms may include:
The goal is to treat the cause of the bacterial overgrowth. Treatment most often consists of antibiotics. In some cases, drugs that speed intestinal movement (motility-speeding drugs) may be used. A low carbohydrate diet can be helpful.
Treatment also involves getting enough fluids and nutrition. A person who is dehydrated may need intravenous (IV) fluids in a hospital. A person who is malnourished may also need nutrition given through a vein (total parenteral nutrition -- TPN).
Severe cases lead to malnutrition. Other possible complications include:

i've never heard of a city that lets people walk around topless, ripdo.
They do here. I saw five and the cops did nothing.
Ripdo, where the hell do you live again?
ah I'm not saying but you can reserch the states and cities. I did give you a clue though.
What's the point of a map when you don't have an exact location? If they are topless, I'd think somewhere along the lines of Las Vegas but whatever.
Do you live in the ghetto or something? I really can't see the police ignoring something like that.

Accident involving tractor-trailer critically injures man
Published: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 5:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 5:26 p.m.
A man was critically injured Wednesday afternoon after his pickup truck was struck by a tractor-trailer on N.C. Highway 109 South at N.C. Highway 49, officials said.
The driver of a pickup truck was transported by paramedics with Davidson County Emergency Services after he was involved in the accident at 12:30 p.m.
Late Wednesday afternoon, Sgt. K.G. Brown said the accident was under investigation, and the driver of the pickup truck was listed in critical condition. The sergeant said Trooper Ned Moultrie was investigating the collision, and the identities of those involved were not available. Brown said it was her understanding that the driver of the tractor-trailer was not injured.
Further information from the SHP concerning the accident is expected to be released Thursday morning.
Chief Ronnie Cook of the South Davidson Volunteer Fire Department said the driver of the pickup truck, which was coming off of N.C. 49, pulled in front of the tractor-trailer. The tractor-trailer was traveling south on N.C. 109, the chief said.
Cook said the man, who he explained had critical injuries and is about 60 years old, was thrown from his vehicle and tossed about 40 feet into a nearby driveway. Cook said the impact caused the man's shoes to fly off of him.
The man suffered a broken wrist and severe head injuries, Cook said. The chief said the man was conscious, and his injuries could be life-threatening. The man was lying in a driveway upon arrival of first responders.
The truck and the cab of the tractor-trailer were totaled, Cook said. The chief said the 18-wheeler jackknifed and traveled into a ditch. Cook said about five gallons of diesel fuel from the tractor-trailer spilled into a nearby creek, and a chemical spill company out of High Point responded to clean it up.
The South Davidson, Denton, Healing Springs and Badin Lake volunteer fire departments, as well as representatives with Davidson County Emergency Services, responded.

Loan Originators - continuing education requirements
The State of Oregon, the Oregon Association of Mortgage Professionals and the Mortgage Lending Education Board held an emergency meeting this month to discuss continuing education testing requirements.
The purpose of this meeting was to bring clarification about the requirements established for loan originators. They will no longer be required to take proctored tests for continuing education courses.
This decision is effective July 1, 2006.
**This does not impact entry-level education requirements. Originators, both in and out of state, are still required to take a proctored state exam as part of the entry level requirement.
Q - Will I still be required to take an exam as part of my entry-level education
Q - I already took my proctored exam after an on-line education course.
Since the rules have changed am I eligible for a refund?
Q - If I take the same course more than once, can it count toward my 20
hours of CE?
Q - What are the consequences to Brokers if they have originators working
for them who do not have the required education completed?
Q - I have been an originator in another State for 7 years. As an entry-level
originator in Oregon, do I really have to take a 20 hour course prior to taking
my State test?
Q - May course providers of MLEB-approved courses still require examinations
and minimum passing scores to receive certificates of completion?
Click here for the letter that was mailed
out to the loan originators.

My husband is out of town for a week on business--something that doesn't happen often, and something that in the past has coincided with marginal disasters on the home front, like 13 inches of snow and no gas in snowblower.
Or the time the dog needed to get to the emergency vet stat with a blockage that turned out to be a partially ingested Ove Glove Hot Surface Handler (I opted out of surgery and later found it in a flame-resistant pile of poop ).
Or the time when our daughter had to move out of a fifth-floor apartment (no elevator) and into a third-floor apartment (no elevator). Or when our then 17-year-old son came into the kitchen and said, "Um, is my pee supposed to be that color?"
This time? The offspring are off, out of the nest, free of infections, happily settled into their apartments, doing whatever they are doing (see Facebook). The dog is curled up, on my feet, under my desk, thankfully having developed a disdain for anything with a nonslip grip.
And maybe it's because the winter has been more of a spring than winter, or maybe it's because I'm sick of tripping over my husband's shoes in our shared closet, or maybe it's because he's not here to tell me what I can and cannot put in the Goodwill pile, but I am in full-throttle, closet-cleaning mode.
Why five pairs of slippers? Three of which are so worn out, they are more sandal than slipper? I get that his frayed-collar t-shirts are soooo comfortable, but . . . he can't find comfort in two? He has to have eight?
And the sad, saggy jeans that he keeps for painting, although he hasn't gotten around to painting in five years.
And, dear God, not another blue dress shirt!
I re-hung. I folded. I stacked. I reappointed wire shelves for his shoes. Team-themed shirts lived harmoniously next to his polo-slash-golf shirts.
His kilts--yes, kilts--I hung next to the rugby shirts, naturally. The Hawaiian shirts that somehow kept reproducing were a problem.
They needed their own archipelago. For all their outward easy-breeziness, they were a bit high-maintenance. (For one thing, they needed special nonslip hangers. Padded.)
The tiki lounge shirt that languished next to the piña colada number, the Easter Island shirt that nuzzled the hibiscus floral that slid next to the bouquets of Georgia O'Keef-ish tropicals--they all needed more air space.
My corner of the closet became just that, a corner, indicative of how I felt about my self-worth because, after all, he is the one who brings in the lion's share of the income.
And me? I always feel that because I don't bring in a lot of money to the family coffers, I don't hold up my end of the donkey. This is all me. My problem . . .
My self-flagellative introspection was interrupted by the phone. It was my husband, telling me how well things were going, how happy the client was, etc., etc., that all his nights of tossing and turning before he left had been for nothing.
He asked what I had been up to.
"Oh, nothing. Saw a couple movies. Writing. Cleaning."
"When you say cleaning you don't mean painting, do you?"
"No, I'm cleaning."
"This 'cleaning' isn't something that I'm going to have to fix when I get back, is it?"
I'll admit that in the past, I thought repainting the dining room would be something I could surprise him with, that it would be an afternoon project once I'd stripped off the wallpaper. But I hadn't planned on the plaster coming off with it.
That was six years ago, and he still hasn't gotten around to improving my home improvement. We tell people that our distressed walls are the new thing. "As seen in Architectural Digest."
I waited for him to say something about not giving away his shirts, or his slipper-spats, but he admitted that our closet needed a makeover. That he had meant to do it, but had gotten sidetracked with work and football games. He had nothing but confidence in my capabilities.
He added that this couldn't have come at a better time. He had found a specialty shop. Hawaiian shirts.

Windows 7 offers the handy ability to automatically switch your laptop's default printer when it detects that you've moved from one network to another—from home to work, for example.
This feature, called location-aware printing, is only available in premium editions of Windows 7. It's also only found on laptops and other portable devices that use a battery.
To use it, first set a printer as your default. That printer then becomes the default for the network you're connected to. Then, set Windows to change your default printer depending on where you are.
To learn about how to add printers, see Install a printer.
Open Devices and Printers by clicking the Start button , and then, on the Start menu, clicking Devices and Printers.
Right-click a printer, and then click Set as default printer.
Click a printer, and then click Manage default printers on the toolbar.
Click Change my default printer when I change networks.
In the Select network list, click a network.
In the Select printer list, click a corresponding default printer.
Click Add.
Repeat steps 4, 5, and 6 as needed. When you're finished, click OK.
If you don't want Windows to change your default printer settings when you move from place to place, click Always use the same printer as my default printer in the Manage Default Printers dialog box, and then click OK.
If you want a wireless network to appear in the Manage Default Printers dialog box, you need to have successfully connected to that wireless network at least once.

West Caldwell, NJ, June 30, 2011 - Ricoh Americas Corporation, a leading provider of digital office equipment and advanced document management solutions, today announced that Buyers Laboratory Inc. (BLI) has given the Ricoh Aficio MP C400SR a Highly Recommended and Highly Reliable rating. BLI cited the device's flawless durability performance as well as its ease of use as key factors for these ratings. "Ricoh's entry into the high-end A4 color market with the Aficio MP C400SR gave an extraordinary performance throughout its lab evaluation," said Marlene Orr, BLI senior analyst for printers/A4 MFPs. "The unit offers a competitive feature set and a competitive price tag, plus a toner cost per page that is among the lowest for this class, all while delivering faster than average speeds and robust scanning, making it a strong value. We highly recommend the Aficio MP C400SR for mid-size workgroups with monthly volumes up to 6,500 pages."BLI found the Aficio MP C400SR helps reduce the learning curve for users by combining the simple maintenance procedures of Ricoh's printers (easy to replace keyed toner cartridges) with the walkup ease-of-use of its copier line (large 8.5" touch screen and consistent menu system). While the drums have rated yields of 60,000, BLI technicians completed 87,500 impressions without a single misfeed or being prompted to change the drums. Productivity when printing BLI's job stream from both PCL and Adobe® PostScript® 3™ drivers was above average for legal-size color MFPs in this class. In addition, productivity when printing multiple sets in color and black simplex and duplex modes was above average."We are excited to receive these positive ratings from BLI, which reinforce our commitment to providing our customers with products and services that are not only cost effective but also improve productivity," said Shun Sato, senior vice president, Marketing, Ricoh Americas Corporation.

In 2009, New York journalist Judith Torrea left the city that never sleeps for what she calls the "city of hit men"—arriving in Juárez, Mexico, "with no agenda except my love for a city that is being blown off the face of the earth." Aiming to stand up for the victims of a war between government forces and drug cartels, Torrea, who was born in Spain, started a blog, Ciudad Juárez, en la Sombra del Narcotráfico ("City of Juárez, in the Shadow of Drug Trafficking")—and last year won Spain's equivalent of a Pulitzer Prize for digital journalism.
Torrea recently arrived at the scene of a massacre of seven youths to interview nearby residents. "No help from the Mexican government has been offered to pay victims' medical bills," she wrote. "Investigators haven't asked witnesses what they saw." Torrea does ask. But her questions often aren't appreciated. "I've been pressured by the cartels and by government security forces," she says. "I can't change society. But as a journalist, I can tell stories that inspire people to reflect."

Cross dock fuels growth at Dots
VIEW THE SLIDE SHOW and see how the combination of cross-docking and flow-through distribution fuels growth at the Ohio-based fashion retailer Dots
February 24, 2011 - LM Editorial
So in March 2006, Akey began the process of selecting a consulting firm that could help Dots design a new distribution system. After three months of extensive interviews, site visits, and reference checks, Dots decided to partner with California-based SDI Industries, a systems integrator and solutions provider that had extensive experience in the fashion retail industry. To aid in the analysis and establish best practices benchmarking, SDI brought in another California-based consultant, Dennis Green from Green & Associates.
For several months, the team collected data; audited current processes from source, to DC, to store; and analyzed business projections before nailing down the final detailed system design in November 2006. "The process was slow and tedious," says Akey. "However, it was critical to define every nuance of the system, including all system specifications and software interfaces. Without this level of detail, a successful implementation could not have happened."
In May 2007, after a lengthy study of the present building and available alternative sites, Dots made the decision to build a completely new office and distribution center in Glenwillow. In February 2008, groundbreaking took place and SDI was selected to install and implement the entire distribution system.
In September 2008, with only the floor and the building shell in place, SDI began mechanical installation of the new distribution system. "The schedule was aggressive and followed closely behind the actual construction of our new building," says Akey.
By January 2009, SDI completed the installation of the equipment and immediately started hands-on training. "Because the unit sorters were perhaps the biggest change from the old system, we arranged for Dots to send their people to our other clients' sites to literally work on their unit sorters," says Steve Haskell, SDI's vice president and lead implementation manager. From January to April, SDI's software team was also onsite to train Dots personnel and offer systems support.
Because Dots did not really have a true WMS, "this became a more involved, all-encompassing warehouse control system (WCS) and software project on our end," adds Haskell. "The new WCS is totally tailored to match Dots' systems with almost no changes on their side." Transition to the new DC was complete by May 2009.
Cross docking in the year 2011
|Steve Haskell, VP,
SDI Industries, Inc.
Q: What technological developments have enabled the adoption of cross docking today?
A: "The mechanics for automated cross docking have always been there. It's just become faster and cheaper. The technological development is more on the IT side than on the mechanical side. Information capabilities are so amazing now that you can communicate with suppliers easily, quickly, and commonly and that allows you to be able to tell them exactly what you want and when you want it."
Q: What is the key to successful cross docking?
A: "You have to have good relationships with your trading partners. First, you have to be able to tell them how to pack what you want. Second, the partner has to be able to document what they've done and get it to you, so that when you see the product at the door you know what to do with it."

Leslie Bibb Gossip

Sam Rockwell's dancing gets its own video

If you've been reading this blog long enough, you know that I have a thing for Sam Rockwell. (And Sam Rockwell and Leslie Bibb.) You know how Brad Pitt almost always has an eating scene in his movies? Sam Rockwell is always dancing. And his dancing is the sex. Think back to Charlie's Angels. Full Story
Smutty Roundup: Sam & Leslie, Rooney & Theo, and just Ezra
Wenn, FameFlynet, George Pimentel/ Getty Images
Sam Rockwell and Leslie Bibb are still together. And they were at Sundance. And that matters to the five of us who care about them, who would for sure rank them top 5 in a cool couple list…even though they are way too cool to be on a cool couple list. Rooney Mara and Theo James are together in Dublin working on a film called Secret Scripture directed by Jim Sheridan. Full Story
Sam & Leslie in London
This post is for me, because I know you don't care. Why don't you care about Sam Rockwell and Leslie Bibb? There's a reason Sam Rockwell works so much. And it's because he's GOOD. He just doesn't need it to be in your face all the time, which I love, and I love too that she wasn't famewhoring about her love life, hanging around, trying to bag a Ben Affleck type who could elevate her by getting her pregnant.

WHAT Summer Solstice Blackout Party
WHEN 7 to 10 p.m., Saturday
DOORS OPEN 6:30 p.m.
WHERE Smyrna Opera House, 7 W. South St., Smyrna
COST $7, cash bar for non-alcoholic refreshments
INFO smyrnaoperahouse.org
This Saturday night, the stuffy, stodgy view that teens have of the Smyrna Opera House may change when Programs Director Amber Frushon hosts her first "Summer Solstice Blackout Party" for the local under 21 crowd.
Frushon herself is only 20 years old, giving her inside information for what teens and young college students find fun.
"My roommate and I had these parties all the time," Frushon said. "They're so much fun. The dark room makes everyone less embarrassed about dancing but the music and the neon makes it feel more like a club."
The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. but the music won't crank up until 7 p.m. At that point, the lights will also go out, save for the "black lights" that illuminate neon colors and bright whites. Deejay Styles will play Top 40 hits, taking requests and encouraging kids to participate. Frushon hopes to see 100 to 200 kids show up.
"The end of summer is a hard market," she explained. "People are away on vacation and older kids are getting ready to head to college. But, there's just not much to do in town for this age group that's both safe and fun. We want to change that."
If attendance is good, the event could become a more frequent occurrence. So far, Frushon said that the social media response on the SOH Facebook and Twitter pages as well as her own pages has been positive. She's optimistic that the event will be a success, clearing the way for more teen-specific events in the future.
There will be no dress requirements. However, normal attire won't allow participants to make the most of the event. Teens will want to consider accessories and outfits that maximize the black lights:
- Neon nail polish
- Highlighters for body art
- Neon temporary tattoos
- Flashing/LED accessories like earrings and buttons
- Glow sticks
- UV-reactive face paint and hair color
- Bright white clothing. Be careful not to layer white undergarments under neon because the white will be seen.

Jimmie Johnson pleased with 1st run in Daytona Beach Half Marathon
Kahne edges 5-time NASCAR Cup champ at Daytona International Speedway
Published: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 7:27 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 12:00 a.m.
DAYTONA BEACH -- Just moments after crossing the Daytona Beach Half Marathon's finish line, NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Jimmie Johnson signed autographs and took photos with fans on pit road.
Daytona Beach Half Marathon
WHEN: 6:30 a.m. start Sunday
WHERE: Daytona International Speedway to the beach and back. Runners will exit Gate 7, head east on International Speedway Boulevard, continue on the beach for a 10th of a mile then return to DIS, crossing the finish line in Gatorade Victory Lane.
TRAFFIC: Major intersections along ISB will close while the marathon takes place. Drivers should use Interstate 95, Williamson Boulevard and Bill France Boulevard. Roads and intersections should be open by 11 a.m. at the latest.
Photo Galleries
If running 13 miles a few hours after competing in the Sprint Unlimited was exhaustive, Johnson didn't show it.
Johnson said he was pleased with his time of one hour, 29 minutes and 48 seconds.
"I am hurting right now," Johnson said. "This is my first half and the last three miles were tough, but I finished my goal and I am happy about that."
Johnson wasn't the only driver testing his endurance this morning. Michael Waltrip, Kasey Kahne and Aric Almirola were among nearly 1,400 runners who braved near-freezing temperatures early this morning as they ran the 13.1-mile course from Daytona International Speedway to the beach. The temperature was about 34 degrees at the start of the race.
The drivers finished strong in their age groups with Kahne, 32, at 1 hour, 28 minutes and 44 seconds; Almirola, 28, at one hour, 46 minutes and 35 seconds; and Waltrip, 49, at two hours and seven minutes.
Almirola, who ran today's race with his wife, said today's race marked his first half marathon.
"I pushed myself tremendously," Almirola said. "It was difficult running over the bridge, with the cold wind but I did what I hoping to do. I survived it and I never stopped to walk."
Organizers delayed the start of race by 15 minutes due to congested traffic on International Speedway Boulevard and also allowed late runners to compete without penalizing their starting time.
"There was a lot of people trying to enter through the gate at once," said Kevin Coulthart, vice president of the Central Florida Sports Commission's Marketing and Events. "We had a challenge so we delayed the start. That's one of the things we want to improve going forward for what was already a great race.
The Central Florida Sports Commission, Volusia County and the Speedway partnered to host the race, which was held in conjunction with Speedweeks for the first time in its five-year history. Organizers held the race in October in past years.
Daytona International Speedway President Joie Chitwood III said he considered the race a success despite the traffic hiccups.
"For next year, we have to make sure everyone is arriving early and that we are better prepared for that rush that happens between 5:45 and 6 a.m.," Chitwood said. "But the number of runners is up from the October event and that's a big deal. We are really happy."
Daytona Beach resident Joshua Guerrero, 21, was the male winner for the half marathon with a time of one hour, 16 minutes, according to unofficial race results. Ormond Beach resident Katie Hoover, 31, was the unofficial female winner with a time of one hour, 26 minutes and 18 seconds.
Guerrero, a California native who is a student Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, said it was exciting to run along NASCAR celebrities.
"They were right there next to me and it was really inspiring to run with them," he said.
Sunday's half marathon marks the third time Hoover has been the overall female winner.
"I'm originally from Pennsylvania so I'm used to running in cold weather," Hoover said. "I actually prefer this weather for running."
