DOE Awards 16 Contracts for Energy Savings at Federal Facilities
DOE announced on December 18 that it will award 16 new Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs) that could result in up to $80 billion in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water conservation projects at federally-owned buildings and facilities. ESPCs are contracts under which a contractor designs, constructs, and obtains the necessary financing for an energy savings project, and the federal agency makes payments over time to the contractor from the savings in the agency's utility bills. The contractor guarantees the energy improvements will generate savings, and after the contract ends, all continuing cost savings accrue to the federal agency. The new contracts will be available to all U.S. federal agencies for use in federal buildings located in the United States and overseas, and each contract allows for up to $5 billion in energy- and water-saving projects, without any restrictions on the technologies used to achieve those savings.
The federal government is the largest single user of energy in the United States. The energy goals outlined in Executive Order 13423, the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 require federal agencies to reduce their energy use per square foot of building space to 30% below their 2003 levels by 2015, while also reducing their water usage to 16% below their 2007 usage levels. Federal facilities are also required to draw on renewable energy for at least 7.5% of their electrical needs by 2013. Within DOE, the Transformational Energy Action Management (TEAM) Initiative was launched in 2007 to meet the energy intensity goal. See the DOE press release and the Web sites for the Federal Energy Management Program and the TEAM Initiative.

Thieves broke into a Grand Forks wire supply business over the weekend and stole more than 6 ½ tons of copper wiring worth an estimated $110,000 wholesale.
Dakota Supply Group President Tom Rosendahl tells the Grand Forks Herald (http://bit.ly/W7XUNn ) that the theft is different from typical copper thefts because it targeted a wholesale supplier rather than an electrical contractor.
Copper thefts are not unusual because scrap prices for the metal are about $3.50 per pound. They've been even higher in recent years.
Minnesota U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar has introduced legislation to make metal thefts federal cases. North Dakota U.S. Sen. John Hoeven is a co-sponsor of the bill.

Boston Suspects Planned to 'Party' in NYC
The brothers suspected of bombing the Boston Marathon had planned to "party" in New York City following the attack, New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Wednesday.
Mr. Kelly said details of the alleged bombers' travel plans emerged from hospital interrogation of the surviving suspect, 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was charged this week in connection with the April 15 bombing that killed three people and injured more than 200. The police commissioner said there is no evidence that the suspects planned any attacks in New York.
"There is some information that they may have been intent to come to New York but not to continue what they were doing," said Mr. Kelly, attributing the information to interrogations of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. "The information that we received is something about a party — having a party," he added. "Something to the effect of coming to party in New York."

Mr. Kelly also confirmed that the carjacking victim who encountered the brothers on Thursday night said the suspects "were speaking in either Chechen or Russian, a language the driver didn't understand. But he thought he heard the word 'Manhattan' in their conversation."
The driver, who hasn't been identified, eventually escaped from the brothers after letting them use his bank card to withdraw money from an automated-teller machine, authorities said. The older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed in a firefight with police following the alleged carjacking episode, four days after the bombings.
While the brothers didn't appear to have any intimate connection to New York City, Mr. Kelly said investigators in Boston and New York are looking into at least one visit by Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to New York last November.
Mr. Kelly said there may have been subsequent visits as well, and investigators have tracked other potential links to the New York City area. When the FBI was still hunting for the suspects, a friend of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's said FBI agents visited her mother's house in Long Island, thinking he might try to see her there.
In one visit by the younger brother, he was photographed with four others in Times Square and posted the image on his Twitter account. Mr. Kelly said it wasn't yet clear when the photo was taken and who else is shown.
"We're trying to determine where they were" and what the purpose of the visits were, Mr. Kelly said.

News 12 First at Five / Thursday, Jan. 24, 2013
EDGEFIELD, S.C. (WRDW) -- News 12 joins Ronnie Daniels for his daily routine. He starts the day with a little target training at the Beaverdam Rifle Range in Edgefield County.
On Thursday, Daniels wasn't shooting an AR-15, an AK-47 or any of the other guns that would be illegal under an assault weapons ban. But, like so many others, he's fired up.
"I think a man has the right to bear arms. I think the first step of communism is taking our guns away from us," he said.
But if guns like these are banned, the Edgefield County Sheriff's Office won't confiscate them.
"No. No. Plain and simple no," said Capt. Chris Walsh with the Edgefield County Sheriff's Office.
On Wednesday, Democrat African-American Sheriff Adell Dobey said he would be the first to go to jail protecting the 2nd Amendment.
"We believe it would be unconstitutional, you know, we've talked to people that back our opinion on that," Walsh said.
Sheriff Dobey was out of town on Wednesday, but Capt. Walsh relayed his message. As an officer, he feels felons will still get guns even with a ban.
"They're more inclined to have them if they are convicted felons," he said.
He also says home protection would take a hit. He knows of multiple people who've stopped crimes just by having a gun, not necessarily even firing it.
Daniels knows that's true, too.
"One couple friend of mine was assaulted and robbed, and if he'd of had a gun, it might have made a difference," Daniels said.
For now, Daniels will continue this daily tradition of shooting and protecting his weapons.

I'm always interested in chatting with people about their encounters with famous athletes. Had any?
Ozzie Smith was my favorite athlete I've met for a while... but I think Dot Richardson, a member of the first ever gold-medalist winning softball team in the Olympics, is my overall favorite. Love her story.
I have met a lot of famous athletes. It's hard to say who's the most famous. The one getting the most notoriety right now is Barry Bonds (his son attends my son's high school). I am happy to say that he was not hounded at his son's football games and he seemed to enjoy himself.
Whoa, that's a pretty big one. Very cool. It's good to see you over here
Of all the famous athletes you've met, which one were you the happiest to have encountered?
I just met Olympians Bonnie Blair, Nadia Comaneci and Bart Connor this past week. They are pretty high on my list.
I was working the Acura Tennis Classic in Rancho Mirage (CA) and ran into Anna Kournakova about 10 years ago. I was with some people that represented her apparel and footwear sponsor. She was still only like 17. We met up with her and her mom in a bar at the hotel. We played darts and hung out for a while. She was fun but a bit pretentious as you can imagine a girl so young getting all that attention might be. We all knew she was going to go on to be a star. And not a bad tennis player either.
Not baseball, but MANY years ago I played against Hockey Hall of Famer Rod Langway when he played for Randolph High School. I was a goaltender. As a defenseman he scored a hat trick. Oops.........
Had dinner with Lance about 7 years ago. Was just four of us. Pretty cool.
Best part of the experience was that it just re-enforced my philosophy that we are all just regular people. Yes, one of the people at dinner that night was the greatest cyclist of all time. That said, the evening was relaxed and it was clear we were all just a bunch of guys interested in joking around, talking some trash, and enjoying a decent meal.
I am always immensely impressed when someone can will themselves to reach the pinnacle of their profession or passion....that said, we are all just regular people deep down.
Whoa! That's awesome!
If you don't mind sharing, how did you find yourself among the greatest cyclist of all time for a dinner?
This is so not as cool, but kind of related: Sheryl Crow was my brother's music teacher in grade school.
In Baseball Ted Williams, I actually sat at a table with him and Tony Gwynn at an awards function in San Diego. The great triathlete Paula Newby-Fraser was being honored with those guys in the room. In football it was Bo Jackson in the early 90's but it wasn't a pleasent meeting. It was a charity function that I introduced Bo as being from Auburn University in Georgia and he immediatly got up in my face and yelled Alabama. You could hear a pin drop and later I apoligized with the lame excuse I was from the west coast.
Another football player was when I was teaching junior high in San Diego and the Phys Ed teacher asked me to play catch with an 8th grader. As he threw the football to me burning my hands I couldn't believe the incredibile arm on this 14 year old, that 14 year old was future Heisman and Super Bowl champion Marcus Allen.
Lebron James and Michael Jordan. Lebron was standing next to me at a hotel in LA right before he got drafted (he even had an entourage back then) and Michael was by humself trying to buy some produce at Albertson's in Del Mar before getting too noticed (in 1989 or 1990). Both were relatively humble, at least to the point that I wasn't turned off.
It was later in his life but I spent many hours with Ted Williams in the 4-5 years prior to his death. My son's best friends father was the curator of the Ted Williams Museum and Hitters Hall of Fame. My sons volunteered at the museum while they were in school. Every year they had an Induction Ceremony for the Museum, they would induct a few player's "from the past" and one current player from each league (American and National). My wife, sons, and I got to go to a lot of the "behind the scenes' activities for these events and we met a lot of famous ballplayers and people including ex-president George Bush and his wife Barbara. Still, to me, Ted was the best since I grew up a Sox Fan in Mass (used to sit in "Section 33" in the left field corner and watch Ted play when I was a young kid).
Lance Armstrong. He came out from Texas to train in San Diego when he was a youngster. He rode on the same Wendsday morning training rides that all the top cyclist and triathletes in the country rode. He was a brash kid, and nearly beat the top triathlete in the world before he came to SoCal. He was freakishly strong on the bike, and one of the "old timers" was able to convince him to switch from triathlons to bike racing because of the money combined with his talent. He was always friendly and respectful, and always listened to what us bike guys said. Good choice.
Also Roberto Clemente, Buck O'Neal, Tony Gwynn, Kenny Roberts(motorcycle roadracer), Willy McCovey and David Bailey (MX)
At least in Baseball I'd have to say Roy Campanella. 1989 from memory and we were both just lining up entering Dodger Stadium for the days game. He was in wheelchair of course and I was behind him and his family and we sort of just starting chatting about the Dodgers team and game that day. He was blown away that I was from Australia cheering on the Dodgers.
Out of many famous MLB Players I would choose to meet.. Roy would have been one of them anyway.
I was very sad to hear of his passing a few years after I met him.
Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Bo Jackson, Howie Long, Charles Barkley, Tom Couples (golf), Bob Cousy, Tom Heinson, Oscar Robertson, Allen Iverson, Andy Reid, Joan Benoit-Samuelson (gold medal, track), Dave Silk (gold medal, hockey), Dale Murphy, Bill Rogers (gold medal/marathon), Tom Lasorda, Elroy (Crazy Legs) Hirsch, all the Red Sox in 1969 when we were introduced at Fenway for winning states in LL.
Some were neighbors. Some were friends of friends. Some I was seated next to on a flight. Some my uncle was their agent. I met Oscar Robertson by sneaking into the Celtics visiting locker room was I was a kid.
To TG ....The Real One.
RE: Bo Jackson
I never met Bo and I only ever saw one NFL game Live.. LA Raiders V Bengals in LA and it was Bo Jackson's last ever football game and I was there. From memory not long after that he was diagnosed with bone cancer in the hip.
I think Bo was a better baseball and football player than Neon Deon.
It was fun to watch Bo breaking bats over his knee after being K2'd.. I think he broke one on his helmet once.. LOL
I believe Bo Jackson could have been the greatest running back in the history of the NFL had he stuck with football. The guy was incredible. I'll never forget the time Brian Boswoth of the Seahawks squared up on Jackson and Jackson ran right through him. And he was fast too.

PHOENIX -- The competition at second base hasn't been quite as heated as the A's would have liked during the first dozen games of the Cactus League.
It hasn't been so much lack of performance. The five players competing for the job have a cumulative .353 batting average (24-for-68).
Injuries are the problem. Jemile Weeks hasn't played since last Friday because of a banged-up shoulder. Scott Sizemore returned to the lineup Thursday, but he had been sidelined since Sunday, when he was hit by a pitch on the left hand.
Jed Lowrie (.313), Eric Sogard (.353) and Adam Rosales (.333) have kept the position competitive, but manager Bob Melvin won't really know what he's got until he can see everybody.
He's not likely to see Weeks until the weekend, probably Sunday. The switch-hitting Weeks has been doing some light throwing and has hit from the left side off a tee, but he's not ready to go yet. X-rays on his shoulder revealed only a bruise, but that was enough to shut him down.
"It's a little bit frustrating," Weeks said Thursday before the A's beat Seattle 7-3. "No one wants to be out there 100 percent healthy more than me. You don't want to be in the training room. You want them to see you out on the field, but there's nothing I can do about it right now."
Sizemore, who badly wants the job that belonged to Weeks at this time a year ago, reported Thursday without a bandage on his left hand. He went 0 for 2 with a walk.
"It didn't feel good to go out there and not get a hit," Sizemore said. "But it felt good just as far as swinging the bat."
Young had two of the tougher plays of the day, including charging a ball that was slicing away from him toward the left field line. He caught up to it.
"You do what you have to," Young said. "As a professional you have to make the necessary adjustments. You do it because you want to help the team."
Lowrie hit a two-run homer against the Mariners, but his play of the day may have been battling the sun and high sky to catch a pop fly hit by Mike Jacobs in the second.
"I had a step-and-a-dive play against (Eric) Thames that took me into the hole a bit," Lowrie said. "But the sun ball, that was tough. It came into the sun, then out of the sun, then back into it. Finally I just stuck my glove out and caught it. It was a guess, but it was an educated guess."

Nine fresh products just for teens and young adults.
Clear Start™ was created by the skin health experts at Dermalogica, the brand that's been changing the face of skin care for more than 25 years. It became clear that no one was addressing the needs of teens – not only with products that get results, but also with the education they need – when Dermalogica Founder Jane Wurwand's own daughters entered their teenage years.
Skin care product choices available to teens may be ample, but they aren't good choices. Products for teens often contain harsh and inexpensive ingredients to strip the skin of oil, and are filled with artificial fragrances and colors – all things that can irritate and strip oil from skin, causing more problems than you started with!

The two-dimensional discrete cosine transform (2-D DCT) and its subsequent quantization are widely used in standard video encoders. However, since most DCT coefficients become zeros after quantization, a number of redundant computations are performed. This paper proposes a hybrid statistical model used to predict the zeroquantized DCT (ZQDCT) coefficients for intratransform and to achieve better real-time performance. First, each pixel block at the input of DCT is decomposed into a series of mean values and a residual block. Subsequently, a statistical model based on Gaussian distribution is used to predict the ZQDCT coefficients of the residual block. Then, a sufficient condition under which each quantized coefficient becomes zero is derived from the mean values. Finally, a hybrid model to speed up the DCT and quantization calculations is proposed. Experimental results show that the proposed model can reduce more redundant computations and achieve better real-time performance than the reference in the literature at the cost of negligible video quality degradation. Experiments also show that the proposed model significantly reduces multiplications for DCT and quantization. This is particularly suitable for processors in portable devices where multiplications consume more power than additions. Computational reduction implies longer battery lifetime and energy economy.

Hello everyone I have a question about eating and running being a diabetic. I've been running for about 11 years now and it has helped me stay off my medication the last couple of years but still not sure that I'm eating correctly. I'm running 20 to 25 miles a week, sometimes more and still overweight. My wife thinks I eat too many carbs but I find if I don't my glucose drops too low while running. I've tryed more fruit but this spikes it. I usually have cereal bar with yogurt and an apple or banana for breakfast. Most days oatmeal for lunch. At supper I admit I probably eat too big of portions but after my run I'm pretty hungry. Night snack is a sugar free pudding and another cereal bar or graham crackers with peanutbutter and glass of milk. Is my diet the problem and if so how do I keep from dropping on my runs. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Actually, being a diabetic and just starting out on the C25K, I'm also interested in any responses to 6xchampsfan question above.
May the wind always be at your back!!
aselbym, I did a little looking around on the web tonight and found a pretty good article right here on active.

I'm assuming you are a type 2 diabetic as you are trying to avoid medication. Personally, I'm a type 1, but I would think the solution would be similar. For me, I have to eat (approx. 15-25 carbs) about every 20-30 mintures during a run. The first 20 minutes don't require any carbs for me since my muscles provide all the energy I need, but once those 20 minutes are up my blood sugars will drop very quickly without added carbs. I like to bring along some sort of gu shot since they are small, but you could get your carbs from any source (gatorade, fig newtons, gu shots, candy bar, etc.). The key is to keep supplementing while you run. If you find that your blood sugar drops within the first 20 minutes, you could always eat a little carbs when heading out the door.
It is a trail and error type of deal-e-o that is unique to each of us. Just don't give up.
Thanks brrit2000 for your reply. I have tryed the gu but my stomach didn't care for this at all. I have used G2 with good results but hate carrying anything when I run. I know a lot of people do but I just can't get comfortable with it. I have carried cereal bars with me and this seems to work ok. The thing is I never know how often to eat carbs till I already feel slugish then I'm not at my best. I have already stopped and checked it during longer races with the help of my wife who was kind enough to follow me with my meter at stops along the way. I'm not a fast runner but like to do as well as possible and this really kills my time. I will try your suggestion of every 20 mins and see how this works. I really appreciate your reply. Ill let you know how it works out. Thanks again.
My husband is type 2 and has had to learn how to deal with it when doing long hikes and backpacking trips. It's somewhat different from running, but I think the experience should transfer. He has found that eating more protein keeps his energy levels more stable. He eats a lot of cheese when hiking and more meat than he did when he started hiking. You might try peanut butter or nut bars while running (my husband doesn't eat nuts). He used to wake up in the middle of the night, absolutely ravenous. (Not good when you'e in bear country and the food is hung in a tree.) That stopped when we started eating the extra protein.

There's been a slight uproar concerning recent water bills in the city of Clarkfield and those concerns were addressed Tuesday night at the regular Clarkfield City Council meeting.
Clarkfield resident and Civic and Commerce Secretary Stephanie Randall broached the topic early in the meeting questioning why her water bills for the past two months were so much higher then expected. Randall said many people in Clarkfield were similarily surprised by their water bills and council woman Erin Crosby concurred, saying several residents had approached her with the same questions.
Clarkfield recently finished updating all the water meters in town, updated their billing software and have now switched to a monthly billing cycle after having been on a quarterly cycle.
City Administrator Scott Weske ticked off the reasons residents are being surprised by recent bills. First is the logistics of switching the billing cycle. Depending on when a resident's meter was installed, the first bill may be paying off part of a quarterly cycle on top of the new monthly bill. Then there's the fact that the new meters are much more accurate than the old meters they replace and some of those old meters may have been running far behind a households actual water usage. Lastly, the process—at least and hopefully just for these first few months—is just plain confusing.
"I've heard from a lot of people and I've had several people come in to go over their bill," said Weske. "And I get it, it's confusing. But I'm more then willing to walk people through it. That's the nice thing about these new meters and system is we have all the information we need to double and triple check everything. Once we get to where we have a baseline reading, it'll be very helpful and take care of a lot of problems before they arise."
The council discussed ways that the city might better inform residents and decided if questions persist, letters could be sent out and possibly a type of seminar could be conducted. For now, Weske will continue to answer questions as they come up.
"You just have to tell people if they have questions, just bring them into (Weske)," said Mayor Gene Kockelman.
"Maybe we should post a sign out front: 'Water bills? Stop in'... Cars will be lined up out front (of City Hall) like some drive-in," said councilman Dave Biermaier drawing laughs from the council.
Weske said even he had questioned some of the higher bills he's seen. "When I see some bills are $400-$500—I question that. I've sent (Public Works Director) Jeff (Lobdell) to check several meters. And every meter's been right. People haven't been happy, but the meters have been right...
Page 2 of 2 - "And you can put on record that come March 1 people will be a lot happier and their new monthly bills will be a lot smaller," said Weske.

- Family, friends devastated by death of Livermore woman in Chico
Sandra and Dave Chesterman stood overlooking Niagara Falls, the mist rising from the waters like an ethereal spirit freed from its resting place.
Carrying daughter Kristina's smiling photograph and a tiny floral urn with her ashes, they experienced what Kristina had only imagined when she scrawled a visit to the falls on her "bucket list."
"I found myself thinking how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful world," Sandra said. "I'm approaching 50 years old, and I am just now learning how to appreciate life. Kristina's death has taught me how to live."
The aspiring nurse died Sept. 22 after being struck in a hit-and-run accident by a suspected drunken driver near the Chico State campus. Chesterman, who was 21, left behind a bright future in medicine -- as well as a wish list of unfulfilled adventures now being accomplished by inspired strangers in her stead, such as visiting the Seven Wonders of the World, or taking a boat ride along the canals of Venice.
The story of the nursing student from Livermore has become the subject of a national and international media blitz. Her parents -- along with a "family" of transplantees living with Kristina's organs -- are taking on roles as spokespeople for organ donation.
Because Kristina was a donor, five Northern California residents have received a new lease on life. Through Facebook, Sandra met two of the grateful transplantees -- Zak Pappachan, a kidney recipient from Fremont, and 1-year-old Jayden Kirby, also from Fremont, who received part of Kristina's liver.
The landing place for her heart remained a mystery until late March. Transplant recipient Susan Vieira, a retired Santa Clara County public health nurse from Campbell, read about Kristina in this newspaper and immediately suspected she'd found her donor.
"Being a nurse, I felt she was a kindred spirit," Vieira said. "I said, 'This gal's bucket list is exactly like the curriculum vitae (résumé) of my life.' ... It was scary."
Born with a congenital heart defect that worsened to heart failure, Vieira would have died had she not received a timely transplant. Convinced Kristina saved her life, she contacted Sandra and, within hours, they met. Sandra listened to Kristina's heart beat once again, using Kristina's stethoscope; and both women were floored by eerie similarities between donor and recipient -- such as a common interest in providing better health care in undeveloped countries.
After the meeting, Kristina's story went viral, making news on CNN, ABC's "Good Morning America," NBC's "Today Show," international media, and most recently, on CBS' "On the Road With Steve Hartman."
Facebook, which played a key role in connecting the Chestermans with recipients, is planning a feature. And the makers of the self-help documentary "The Secret" are including Kristina in a follow-up movie called "Power of the Heart," alongside Maya Angelou, Jane Goodall and other influential women.
"It's just been a roller-coaster ride for us," Sandra said. "Now everybody's getting to see what she was like."
Though their heartbreak is still fresh, the Chestermans are relaying the story publicly to raise awareness of organ donation. At a recent Silicon Valley Kidney Walk in San Jose for the National Kidney Foundation, the Chestermans and kidney recipient Pappachan and his wife, Angela, were the guests of honor.
"(Kristina) had a purpose, but fate had a different plan," Zak Pappachan said. "I will never be able to say thank you to her mom and dad enough. I got my life back."
Nine months after his transplant, Zak is healthy, balancing work with raising his infant daughter, RayeAnn. Angela is committed to raising money for the Kristina Chesterman Memorial Foundation.
"A year ago, my husband wasn't the same man," Angela said. "To see the rejuvenated sense he has and to see the father he is now ... there is no greater gift to a wife and mother than that."
Before the walk, the Chestermans, Pappachans, and Vieira gathered at the Chesterman home, taking family pictures. Christine Kirby brought along son Jayden, calling the group "transplant siblings."
Even in death, Kristina continues to inspire. The Kristina Chesterman Memorial Scholarship at Chico State is already funded for the next 30 years. A Livermore blood drive held in her memory became one of the most successful mobile drives the American Red Cross ever had in Northern California.
Well-wishers from all over the world have contacted the Chestermans to say they've registered as organ donors after hearing their daughter's story. Friends and strangers alike have fulfilled items on her bucket list -- taking photos of Kristina along on trips to Venice, the Four Corners, and on cross-country train rides.
"Somehow, her story brings out the best in people," Dave said. "It's like a ripple effect. When a pebble falls in the water, it continues to grow. It's got a life of its own."
It was at Kristina's memorial service when Chico State nursing instructor Darcy Lewis, searching for a doctoral thesis, had the idea of building a medical clinic in Nigeria and naming it for Kristina. The foundation not only has enough money to start building it, but also to buy the land it will occupy. Scheduled to break ground in September, it could open by next summer.
While they await the upcoming criminal trial of suspect Riley Hoover to provide some closure, the Chestermans take comfort in their daughter's reverberating legacy, and the sense her death was not in vain.
"It makes me proud of Kristina that she's made this kind of impact," Sandra said. "She was special. She's changing the world, and she's not even here. Maybe it was her destiny. She continues to shine."

Saturday was a chance for folks to celebrate victories and mourn losses.
Downtown Roanoke was transformed into a sea of pink for the 4th annual Virginia Blue Ridge Race for the Cure.
Survivors, those battling breast cancer and the people who love them, started their morning at the River's Edge on Reserve Avenue.
Nearly 3,000 people worked their way downtown on either a one-mile walk or 3-mile run.
While the race is a big part of the event, honoring survivors is a special part of the day.
*CG X303 Joey Coakley Beck
Race Co-Chair
"A lot of them are quiet about it and this is their time to shine and get some recognition about the struggle they've gone through," says Race Co-Chair Joey Coakley Beck. "Breast cancer affects one in 8 and actually in our region it's one in 5. So, if it hasn't affected you yet it will eventually."
This is the largest and only Susan G. Komen event in the region.
75% of the money stays here, the rest goes towards scientific research. Locally the money helps fund mammograms and education.

[DIY] – 3D Camera Rig
I've really been lagging on my blogging. Here's a quick update.
I've recently found myself working out of the Beaverton office again, so late one night after finishing up I hopped onto the company's aging, crusty lathe:
These are custom captive screws for the Benro quick-release plates I picked up in Hong Kong. I'm mounting the Benro plates to a piece of 8020 1010 extrusion, and the T-slots are a little bit deeper than an ISO standard camera mount. So, for my application, a custom screw would be needed.
I'm actually pretty happy with how this turned out; the machine is old and the hand-ground parting tool isn't the best for cutting stainless steel.
To chuck the screw into the chuck without damaging it, I took a page from an old machinist trick of slotting a nut with a hacksaw and clamping it in a 3-Jaw chuck. I started with a 1/4-20 x 0.5″ SAE button head socket cap screw.
(Note: Yes, I am aware that the standard tripod thread is a 1/4-20 British Standard Whitworth – cut with a 55 deg angle instead of a 60 deg angle. I challenge the reader to find one here in a hardware store in the good ol' USA. A 60 deg SAE thread is "close enough" for this application with some very minor interference)
The resultant screw is a bit too long, so I trimmed it down a little bit with my motor tool.
The tool is a Taiwanese made version of the Foredom – a 600W motor on a flex shaft and a foot pedal for actuation. It takes all the standard Dremel accessories and it'll slice through stainless pretty easily. I lined the jaws of my Wilton vice with some engineering paper scrap, and used my pano clamp as a clamping base for the tripod plate. Then, using another machinist's trick, I put a nut on each of the screws to be cut. When removing the nut, the nut acts as a tap and cleans out any debris on the screw threads and restores the proper thread form. 🙂
And BTW – at 20,000+ RPM and with 600W of power behind the disc – any slip up is … painful. Warning: somewhat graphic picture ahead:
The wound looks A LOT worse than it actually is. I think the heat from the abrasive blade cauterized the wound – it didn't bleed much. Digging all the abrasive grit out under running water was a different story – good reminder to be more careful the next time.
And here's the finished rig! Now, I need to order some 3D glasses…

I have just installed PS3 Media Server on a virtual machine running Debian 6 and I have almost got everything to work, but I have one remaining issue. When I watching a movie with external subtitles on my PlayStation 3, the subtitles aren't properly showed/decoded, so some of the words containing Á instead of the expected letter. I have searched for this and the only thing I could find was adding this parameter to PMS.conf, but after reboot it still don't work.
- Code: Select all
formencoder_subcp = cp1252
I need the server to know that I'm using swedish subtitles. The question is, how do I do that? Thanks in advance!

It's time to take the pedal off the metal. Police want speeders to slow down, especially in construction zones. Deputy Steven Leathers is after speeders, and he means business.
"You're dealing with speeds of sixty to seventy miles an hour. Big car versus little guy, the car usually wins," Leathers said.
He uses a radar in construction zones every day. Things are especially dangerous when the roads are wet. And Deputy Leathers got one almost right away. Right after writing a speeding ticket, two calls come in to respond to crashes.
"We'll have a few in the construction zone that usually end up rear-enders, and especially on a day like this one, one will back up and cause another and another wreck." Leathers said.
He keeps an eye on all construction zones across Columbia County, like this one here on Fury's Ferry. He pulls over about thirty people each day, and speeding fines are doubled.
Fury's Ferry is the site of a terrible accident back in May. A construction worker was hit by a vehicle, and almost didn't make it. He escaped with his life, but lost his legs.
"At any time, they think they they can walk out into traffic with the understanding that vehicles are driving slower." Deputy Leathers said.
The construction zone on I-20 is sixty, but Deputy Leathers says the average speed is between seventy and eighty miles an hour.
And if you're going that fast, Deputy Leathers has a ticket for you. Columbia County officers wrote almost 580 tickets in the month of July, and around 75 of them were in construction zones. Aiken County issued 42, and Richmond County wrote around 100 in construction zones.

Documents: 3 men had role in Vt. woman's killingAP FILE PHOTO
This undated file identification photo released Sept. 12, 2010, by Vermont State Police shows Pat O'Hagan, 78, of Sheffield. Hagan disappeared from her home in September 2010. Her body was found nearly a month later by hunters in a remote area 10 miles away.
BURLINGTON — Three men have been implicated in the September 2010 killing of a 78-year-old grandmother during a botched robbery at her home during which she was sexually assaulted before being shot in the head, say federal court documents filed in connection with another case.
No charges have been filed in connection with the killing of Mary "Pat" O'Hagan, who was missing for about three weeks before her body was found in Wheelock.
The suspects, who are related, provided different reasons for the killing, including robbery and that O'Hagan had learned about methamphetamine being cooked at an abandoned house next door to her home, the federal court documents said.
The court documents say the three men — Richard E. Fletcher, 26; his brother, Keith J. Baird, 32; and Fletcher's cousin Michael Norrie, 22, all of Sheffield — have been implicated in the killing. All three are in federal or state custody on charges unrelated to the killing of O'Hagan.
"After a thorough investigation, Vermont authorities have concluded that Fletcher, accompanied by two male relatives, participated in the crime leading to the killing and disposal of the body," prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memorandum for Fletcher who is facing almost 16 years in prison on charges of sexual exploitation of a minor.
The Burlington Free Press reported none of the attorneys for the three men could be reached for comment.
Norrie was first publicly linked to the case in January 2011 when he made incriminating statements to federal agents investigating another case. The accusations against Fletcher and Baird became public Monday in documents submitted for Fletcher's upcoming sentencing.
State prosecutors have not said why no charges have been filed in connection with O'Hagan's death.
Assistant Vermont Attorney General Cindy Maguire, chief of the criminal division, said the standard for a criminal trial in state court and a federal sentencing is different.
"It is still a pending criminal investigation. We are not going to comment further with respect to the state's case," she said.MORE IN Vermont NewsThe Vermont Supreme Court ruled Friday that brush-hogging a field does not earn an agricultural...

One woman makes a difference
Diana Richards bought land on the migratory bird route and quickly put it into conservancy
Published: Sunday, February 24, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 10:56 a.m.
"My heart just goes out to the animals," exclaimed conservation property owner Diana Richards of Lake Lure. "I feel a real ache for all the losses that wildlife endures as a result of the development in our region."
When Richards relocated from Louisiana to Western North Carolina, wildlife habitat — and doing her part to embrace it and protect it — was her greatest interest. "I had a particular interest in properties with high priority ecosystems for conservation," she explained.
A friend at The Nature Conservancy tipped her off to land for sale just south of Lake Lure, in a secluded cove between Chimney Rock Mountain and Cane Creek Mountain. The tract had been classified as an important habitat along the flight paths of migratory birds. A self-proclaimed bird lover, Richards was instantly intrigued.
When the land was described to her as being "right next to where The Last of the Mohicans was filmed," Richards decided to view the movie to get a sense of the landscape. Upon watching it, she was sold. When she finally got to see the land in person, she was taken aback by its dramatic beauty.
Richards has long worried that wildlife is losing its rightful representation in our society, being undervalued and forgotten by humans. She fears that the fragmentation of the landscape brought upon by overdevelopment is too severely disrupting the ability of plants and animals to thrive. "Many of our ecosystems are teetering on the edge of destruction," she explained.
So after purchasing the property, Richards was thrilled to discuss the opportunity to place a conservation easement on her land through Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy. She was elated at the prospect of solidifying her commitment to keeping the property's ecosystem and wildlife habitat forever intact.
In 2003, she entered 38 acres of her property into a conservation easement with CMLC. She also permanently protected about 220 acres of her land with The Nature Conservancy.
Connectivity of the landscape is one of the most important aspects of conservation to Richards. "It is critical that natural land is available for wildlife corridors. And as a corridor for plants, too," she said. "We can't keep covering everything up with concrete and asphalt."
Richards' conservation easement ultimately protected one of the most critical tracts for plant and animal habitat connectivity in the region. Her property borders three Significant Natural Heritage Areas, or SNHAs: Chimney Rock Natural Area, Worlds Edge/Sugarloaf Mountain and Cane Creek Mountain.
SNHAs are sites identified by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program as having special biodiversity significance. An area's significance might be because of the presence of rare species, exemplary or unique natural communities or habitat, important animal assemblages, or other important ecological features. Part of three SNHAs, Richards' property has all those characteristics in great abundance, and more.
Much of those SNHAs that surround her property are now part of Chimney Rock State Park, one of the state's most geologically stunning park lands. Because the conservation easement on her property ensures that it will always remain in its natural state, Richards is pleased to know that her land will forever be a bridge for wildlife to travel and make their habitat in and around the park.
Richards' property includes the upper reaches of two steams, Wolf Creek and Poole Creek, which drain the Worlds Edge basin higher up on the mountain. More than 1,500 acres of the Worlds Edge tract was conserved by CMLC in 2006 and later incorporated into the state park.
Safeguarding the water quality of the land with the conservation easement is as important to Richards as protecting wildlife habitat, especially because one depends so much on the other. "There's just so much water on this property," Richards said. "There seems to be waterfalls everywhere you look."
Wolf Creek Falls, near the boundary of Richards' property and Chimney Rock State Park, is particularly impressive. At the falls, Wolf Creek plunges more than 60 feet over the face of a vertical cliff. The falls have drawn particular interest from waterfall collectors and photographers. Richards periodically hosts CMLC members hikes across her land so others, too, can be awed by the falls.
Ironically, Richards' favorite part of her conserved property might not even be on the land itself. "One of the most exciting times to be here is during the seasons of bird migrations," she said, gazing at the sky.
So deep is Richards' commitment to conserving wildlife and habitat connectivity, she intends to honor it well after her own time on her property. "This land will be left to Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy in my will," she explained with enthusiasm. "It will always be a habitat for the wildlife and plants."
Richards' heart indeed goes out to the animals. And through her commitment to conservation, so will it forever.

Quick Facts
The Sarah Jane Brain Virtual Center is an online ecosystem created for families of those with brain injury and the professionals who work with them. The first step in creating this ecosystem is the launch of the Sarah Jane Brain Registry. The purpose of the SJB Registry is to gather information about everyone affected by PABI and then convert the anonymous statistical information into a format usable by researchers in order to determine what works and what doesn't as it relates to treating pediatric brain injuries.
The second phase of the Virtual Center will be the establishment of a portal for families, physicians and other professionals to upload health records into an interoperable database to optimize the acquisition, storage, retrieval of this information in real time.
The third phase of the Virtual Center will expand the Open Source Initiative which began with the launch of the Sarah Jane Brain Project in October 2007, when for the first time in medical history all the medical records of an individual were posted online using open source principals. Sarah Jane Donohue was this first case. The Open Source Initiative will allow caregivers to opt their children into a first-ever open source database of neuroinformatics.
To dramatically change PABI for patients, providers and researchers, the full power of technology must be leveraged. Data management, communications, outcomes measures and education are among the technologies which will be enabled by the SJBP. Millions of children will benefit from this process, and hundreds of thousands of care providers will be empowered as well.
For more details on the Virtual Center, read Chapter 4 of the National PABI Plan (click here for the PABI Plan).
Over 75 members of the SJBF's International Advisory Board gathered in New York City from January 8-10, 2009, to analyze the current status of care for Pediatric Acquired Brain Injury, identify the problems along the continuum and then propose solutions. As a result of this effort, the first-ever National Pediatric Acquired Brain Injury Plan (PABI Plan) was drafted and then made public. The experts who developed the PABI Plan included physicians, allied health care professionals, educators The Sarah Jane Brain Foundation recognizes that many of the practices described in the PABI Plan are currently being implemented. It is the purpose of the PABI Plan to build on the many individualized practices that exist. However, the consistent availability, coordination and integration of the numerous well-established interventions, programs, and supports do not exist at the present time on a national level. The PABI Plan develops a seamless, standardized, evidence-based system of care universally accessible for all children/young adults and their families regardless of where they live in the nation.
The PABI Plan was developed into seven "Categories of Care" for preventing, identifying nd treating brain injuries in children and young adults: 1) Prevention, 2) Acute Phase, 3) "Mild" TBI Assessment / Treatment, 4) Reintegration / Long-term care, 5) Adult Transition Phase, 6) Rural /Telehealth and 7) The Virtual Center. For each Category of Care, a nationwide standard will be established for collecting translational data, a standard set of training, education and dissemination of information, and the ability to monitor and develop basic science research.
In order to carry out this integrated seamless system of care, the 52 Sarah Jane Brain Family (SJBF) Centers of Excellence were selected. With advances in technology, neuroinformatics and assessment including functional brain imaging and genomics, the establishment of a SJBF Center of Excellence in every state will dramatically improve the lives of children by increasing our understanding of the determinants of rehabilitation from PABI and to inform the development of innovative, empirically-based interventions. Such a system will offer significant cost efficiencies, funding efficiencies and independent revenue models. On June 5, 2009, (Sarah Jane's fourth birthday), the SJBF announced the largest health and education collaboration in history dealing with PABI: one institution in every state and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico were selected as their respective SJBF State Lead Center of Excellence. Once the SJBF Centers are in operation, they will have three specific roles and be guided by four over-arching goals.
Roles of each SJBF Center:
These centers will serve not only as primary, secondary and tertiary care facilities but also as resources for individual physicians, caregivers, families and other hospitals. Data will be incorporated into a centralized registry (see SJBP Virtual Center), allowing for the efficient evaluation of best practices. Findings from research will be disseminated using methods developed by the SJBP to share knowledge gained with the entire brain injury community.
For the families who have experienced a child/young adult with a PABI, it is a terrifying and challenging experience. Their children are often not diagnosed and many are misdiagnosed. Access to comprehensive and integrative care is extremely rare. Most troubling, ongoing and coordinated support for the lifetime needs of someone with a PABI is virtually nonexistent. Families have to be constantly searching and reinventing services because there is no coordinated, seamless circle of care for those with PABI or their families.
Sarah Jane Brain Clubs are student-run, faculty-
supported organizations in high schools and universities across the country. The mission of each Sarah Jane Brain Club is to support the Sarah Jane
Brain Foundation in advancing our knowledge of the human brain to better prevent, identify and treat brain injuries throughout the world.
The first high school SJB Club was launched at one of the top high schools in America, Jericho High School on Long Island, New York, and the first collegiate SJB Club was launched at Harvard University (see media announcement here). Since the initial launch, numerous high schools and universities around the nation are starting SJB Clubs.
Starting and participating in a SJB Club offers students an opportunity to have a real impact on real people around areas of interest for each individual student. If you or someone you know would like to start a SJB Club in a school, please visit www.SJBClub.com and complete the starter kit.
The SJB Clubs will involve students from many different fields of study by offering up to eight Committees in each club that are relevant to students' areas of interest:
A major initiative of the Sarah Jane Brain Foundation is to establish a network of nonprofit, nonpublic schools, called International Academies of Hope (iHOPE), in major U.S. metropolitan areas and abroad.

BERKELEY -- Cal used a sizzling start to claim another NIT victory in its final home game of the season.
Led by freshman Jabari Bird, who had one of the best games of his career, the Bears held off a late charge from Arkansas to win 75-64 in the second round of the NIT on Monday at Haas Pavilion in front of 2,518 fans.
Arkansas' pressure defense made for a somewhat tense final few minutes, but Cal (21-13) closed out the win with six straight free throws to earn a quarterfinal matchup with No. 1 seed SMU in Dallas on Wednesday at 6 p.m. The winner moves on to the semifinals next week at Madison Square Garden in New York.
With senior forward Richard Solomon sidelined with a concussion for a second straight game, the Bears were forced to use a smaller lineup against Arkansas (22-13). It worked just fine.
Cal's zone defense caused Arkansas, the No. 15 scoring team in the country, to get off to an icy cold start.
The Razorbacks missed 22 of their first 25 shots from the field, and Cal bolted out to a 31-8 lead.
Cal's zone defense also was effective when the Bears beat Arkansas 85-77 at the Maui Invitational in November.
"I felt Ty (Wallace) in particular at the top of the zone did a really nice job taking away the high post," Cal coach Mike Montgomery said.
Cal shot 63 percent in the first half as it raced out to a 38-23 lead at the break. Arkansas' pressure bothered the Bears in the second half, but by then they had enough of a lead to withstand the Razorbacks' late surge.
The Bears led by 24 with 14:20 to play.
"We came out really moving the ball, and that was nice to see," Montgomery said. "(The Razorbacks) really rely on their pressure, they want to turn you over and get turnovers for baskets, and we fell prey to that a little bit, but by and large we did a good job of moving the ball."
After a difficult Pac-12 campaign, Bird continued to play well in the NIT. He finished with 19 points on 7-of-8 shooting and a career-high eight rebounds to lead Cal.
"I've been practicing well, and I've been going harder," said Bird, a product of Salesian High in Richmond. "I've been focusing more on little things. It's not all about scoring. Today I focused on rebounds, and that got me going."
Wallace added 16 points, and David Kravish contributed 13 points and eight rebounds.
Arkansas, which made the postseason for the first time since 2008, got 15 points from Rashad Madden.
Cal has a quick turnaround for its quarterfinal and may be down another starter after guard Ricky Kreklow broke his nose late in the game against Arkansas.
"Hopefully, Ricky can get a mask," Montgomery said. "He helps us in so many ways."
Wednesday's GAME
NIT quarterfinals in Dallas
Cal (21-13) vs. SMU (25-9),

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
Henry David Thoreau
On Walden Pond 1854
Its not that Louie did not keep pace with his companions, its that they did not keep pace with him. He set the pace and he did hear a different drummer.
Louie Ramirez not only followed a different drummer, but he was his own different drummer. While other arrangers were writing seventh chords, Louie was writing ninths and when they wrote ninths he was writing elevenths and when they wrote elevenths he was writing thirteenths and when they were writing thirteenths Louie reflected and said, hey, unison isnt demeaning, lets alternate between the various type chords and unison. Hip? You bet your ass.
His humor was only surpassed by his musical talents...and what talents! Musician, composer, arranger, bandleader, conductor, percussionist, pianist and record producer. He championed the vibes, he collaborated with Puente, Pacheco, Rodriguez, the Palmieris, Ruben Blades and many more.
Louie loved people and they loved him. At any hang out session, Louie was at the center, telling jokes, imitating people, making up and exaggerating stories... cracking everybody up. His imitation of Ray Barretto was a classic. His dual imitation, says Andy Gonzalez, of father Johnny Rodriguez Sr. and son Dandy was hilarious. Louie could have been a professional comedian but music was his thing.
In the fifties, he played with Joe Loco and in the sixties he would join Joe Cuba. He was a major contributor to Johnny Pachecos first charanga album in 1960 co-writing and arranging El Guiro de Macorina. Louie also was arranger and timbalero on Sabus classic Jazz Españole (also 1960).
Over the years he joined forces with Ozzie Torrens, Pete Bonet and in the last decade, Ray De La Paz. I think this was to share some of the responsibilities with a bandmember buddy promoted to co-leader, so he could have time for his many arrangements. He recorded many LPs for various labels with different instrumentations from big band to conjunto to septet. He became a senior member of the Allegre All-Stars doing everything from clave to vibes to arranging to co-leader status with Charlie Palmieri, Kako and myself.
In 63 or 64 I produced Louies LP Vibes Galore for my Alegre label. Charlie Palmieri supervised one of the sessions. Johnny Rodriguez Sr. is very proud of his timbal solo on "El Titere," Louie of course was on vibes... and yes, "El Titere" is autobiographical. Louie wrote a very funny sidebar for the backliner of Vibes Galore in the form of a resume.
In the middle sixties, I was recording supervisor for Pete Bonet and Louies Beautiful People LP on Fania. Pacheco supervised the first session and gave in to Louie that I finish the LP and supervise the mixing. Pacheco was V.P. of the label and he could, and did, make that decision. Louie busted Johnnys chops so much about this that Johnny finally said, Well, let him do it Im outta here. It was a big band session that included the Latin-Jazz instrumental "Joe Gaines Express." Louies arrangements were brilliant and Pete was in relatively top form. In the late sixties Louie, with Pete Bonet, formed a steady big band working as house band at the Corso. Eddie Martinez and Ray Maldonado were part of that band. Tito Puente was very pleased to have some competition again. (Tito Rodriguez had moved to Puerto Rico).
In the early seventies Louie co-lead and arranged an LP with Tito Rodriguez and got his picture on the cover with "The Rajah of the Mambo." I remember they kicked off the promotion of the album with an appearance at the Village Gate.
Louie was Staff Producer and arranger for the Fania family of labels and had the title of President of Allegre records in the seventies and eighties. I had sold Alegre to Tico in 66.
He arranged and produced countless LPs for Fania, Vaya, Tico, Alegre and others. One year (late sixties?) Louie formed a big band and was musical director for the Latin New York (magazine) Music Awards. Pablo Yoruba Guzman, at the age of 25, was stage director. (By the way Yoruba, thanks for your tasty Channel 4 report.)
Louie and I go back to the sixties when I met him through his work with Pachecos Volume 1 and Sabus Jazz Españole LP. Our mothers became friends, our wives (of that time) became friends and my children used to baby sit Louies son Wicho who is now in his mid-30s. I did not know Louies first wife Marian (a non-Latina), but I did know Margie (Wichos mom) and Myriam (Vol. 3) and attended his wedding to Millie along with Marty Sheller, Vitin Aviles, Dr. Ken Rosa and Irv Greenbaum (who audio engineered so many of Louies recording sessions). His last love, Gigi, I met at the wake. Louies marriage to Millie didnt last too long and after it was over Louie complained that she kept his favorite cymbal.
In 1984 Louie recorded for Caiman Records with Ray De La Paz. In 93 at the time of his third heart attack and death they had been preparing their new LP for RMM Records.
One of my last conversations with Louie was at Roseland last year where I, for the first time, strained my 34 year old relationship with Louie. I stupidly told him, in front of Ray De La Paz and other band members, that the other bands that night Tito Nieves, Pete El Conde and Willie Colon were very exciting and compared to them, his band was bland. These were not altogether my true feelings but I wanted to challenge Louies arranging talents to the height of his ability...it boomeranged and offended Louie and he answered, I dont care for your opinions. This was not true, but I had embarrassed Louie and he had to retaliate. As soon as I got home I called him and apologized. Louie did value my opinions...we so often discussed instrumentation, repertoire, personnel, conducting styles, and tape mixing ideas. Louie and I were best of friends, his mother Doña Haydee can attest to that. We hung out, double dated, ate, drank, smoked and worked together. He was unusually intelligent and Ill never forget him. Louie, say hello to Charlie, Macho, Maldonado, Barry, Cesar Concepcion, Mon Rivera, Noro, Loco and Arsenio for me. Ill be seeing you... warm up the band... I love you.

FRUITA, Colo. (KKCO) -- Women, wine and beauty talk--a perfect formula for ladies night.
Canyon Creek Plastic Surgery hosted their Fifth Ladies Night event, and the topic of the night was plastic surgery.
Wine and cheese were served while Dr. Rebecca Glasser answered questions about various cosmetic surgery procedures.
Spring is a popular time for Botox.
"We are seeing a lot of people coming in for Botox. Botox really addresses the upper face looking at fine lines and wrinkles around the forehead in between the eyes and around the crows feet," says Dr. Glasser.
Canyon Creek Plastic Surgery is running a Botox special this month. Botox is $10 unit and is a non-surgical procedure.
The event was a part of the Fruita Community Center and Family Health West's free health and wellness speaker series.

The National Weather Service says an E-F-two tornado touched down briefly in Mansfield, Georgia on Friday (4/19) afternoon as a line of strong storms moved east through.
According to the NWS, a twister with winds between one-hundred and five to one-hundred-15 miles per hour was on the ground for about seven miles in Mansfield, which is located in Newton County.
Witnesses said they saw a funnel cloud, heard noise and then ran for cover.
NWS reports power poles and trees were blown down. Fire officials said that five to eight homes were destroyed, another half-dozen homes were severely damaged and then another 12 suffered minor damage.
Saturday (4/20) Emergency workers blocked off the neighborhood as they worked to clear the debris.
Around 30 people were looking for shelter on Friday night after their homes were damaged. The Red Cross was assisting them find places to stay. The Salvation Army was providing hot meals to some of those displaced.

We've provided the step-by-step video and cake-shape template. You provide the icing and fun!
Weekdays on Nick Jr.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line the bottom of a 9- by 13-inch cake pan with wax paper. Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions for the pound-cake recipe. (Add the pudding mix, increase the number of eggs to 4, and decrease the water to 1 cup.) Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean; about 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes, and then invert the cake ont a rack and allow it to cool completely.
Line a cookie sheet with a piece of wax paper. Place the chocolate chips into a resealable bag and microwave (with the bag open) on high for about 30 seconds or until the chocolate chips are melted. Snip a small corner from the bag and pipe a "Y" about 3 inches long onto the wax paper. (This will be Dora's cowlick.) Transfer the cookie sheet to the refrigerator until ready to use.
Spoon 1/4 cup of the vanilla frosting (for Dora's eyes) into a resealable bag and set aside. Mix 2 tablespoons of the vanilla frosting with 2 tablespoons of the chocolate frosting (for Dora's irises) and spoon this lighter chocolate frosting into a resealable bag; set it aside. Tint the remaining vanilla frosting a golden brown using the orange and brown food paste coloring. Tint 3 tablespoons a darker shade of this color and spoon it into a resealable bag (for Dora's nose and chin); set it aside.
Trim the top of the cake with a large serrated knife to make it level. Place the cake trimmed side down onto a serving platter. Using the cake template, cut the cake and discard the scraps. Use the template again to score or mark outlines of Dora's face and hair with a toothpick. Frost the top and side of Dora's face first with the golden-brown frosting. Spread some of the chocolate frosting on the side of the cake (for the sides of Dora's hair). Spoon the remaining chocolate frosting into a resealable bag and sip a corner from bag. Pipe on Dora's hair.
Mark the center of Dora's eyes with a toothpick. Snip a small corner from the vanilla-frosting bag and pipe in the eyes. Snip a small corner from the light-chocolate bag and pipe the irises. Add candy-coated chocolates and a dot of white to finish Dora's eyes.
On a clean work surface, press the two pieces of fruit leather together, overlapping them slightly. Cut out the mouth shape according to the template. Place the mouth on the cake and pipe a line around it with the red decorating frosting. Snip a small corner from the bag with the dark golden-brown frosting and pipe on Dora's nose and chin. Peel Dora's cowlick from the wax paper and insert it into top of her head. (You may need to use a toothpick to stabilize it.)

While traversing the far reaches of the globe, legendary polar explorer Will Steger saw firsthand the effects of climate change. This Sunday, he will share his experiences during a free public forum discussing the present state and future of clean energy in Minnesota at Granite Falls Lutheran Church beginning at 7:00 p.m.
Hosted by Clean Up the River Environment (CURE), the evening's forum will also include presentations from Fresh Energy science policy director J. Drake Hamilton, CURE Senior Director Duane Ninneman and Granite Falls Lutheran Pastor Steve Carmany.
Steger, whose Global Warming 101 expedition was sponsored by Fagen Inc. in 2007 and 2008, is actually making a return trip to Granite Falls after presenting at the Yellow Medicine East auditorium several years ago. His message on the impacts of climate change will be complemented by the evening's other presentations. Drake will describe effective clean energy and clean air solutions that benefit the state economy while Ninneman will provide a history of NSP and Xcel Energy production and the impact of climate change on watershed health.
Over the last several years Steger and Drake have travelled all over the country with their message, providing hundreds of presentations to over 50,000 people. Drake emphasized that Sunday's forum would be significantly different from that community members may have seen before, offering updated information and a primary focus on the opportunities for renewable energy investment that exist right here in Minnesota.
"We want to make sure Minnesotans know how well we're doing compared to other parts of the country and what that means in terms of jobs and economic development," Drake said. "It is our firm belief that we're not having enough conversations about how we can move forward and build our renewable energy economy."
Drake said that Sunday's forum is open to "everyone from boy scouts to retired folks" and that "people find these conversations are a positive experience, with real examples of how Minnesota is making a difference."

The California Department of Transportation said officials originally discovered that 32 of the 96 rods that have been tightened on the $6.4 billion span snapped two weeks ago.
The rods, which are essentially giant bolts, are being used to connect steel earthquake safety devices called shear keys to the bridge's deck and a large concrete cap.
The bridge, which is replacing the span damaged during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, is designed to withstand a major temblor.
Caltrans officials acknowledged there is a risk that the problem could delay the bridge's opening over Labor Day weekend. Still, the agency says the project is currently on track.
One of the tricky issues is that some of the failed bolts are located beneath a cement cap and cannot be easily removed, said Will Shuck, a Caltrans spokesman.
"There is not enough room to lift them out, so you can't replace them," Shuck said. "They are working on an engineering solution for those bolts."
The company that made the pieces that failed is Painesville, Ohio-based Dyson Corp. Shuck said the company has been "cooperative and helpful" with Caltrans' investigation.
Caltrans is focused on fixing the problem and said it will determine who is financially responsible for the bolts' failure after repairs are finished and the costs are known.
