What to Expect From Apple's Event
Apple executives will take the stage Tuesday at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the company's annual pre-holidays gadget event.
In the past, Apple has used its fall event to provide an update on its iPods and computers, though last year the company threw the iPad and iPad Mini into the mix.
The Journal will have real-time updates and analysis from Tuesday's gathering, which begins at 1 p.m. ET. Apple isn't saying what the event entails, but here's a guide on what you should expect.
What's Likely
iPads: A new iPad with a standard 9.7-inch screen is almost guaranteed. Not only has it been a year since the last iPad was unveiled, but the Wall Street Journal earlier reported that a refreshed iPad would be entering mass production around this time. Apple has been working on a thinner, lighter version of the iPad, using a thin film instead of the glass found in existing models, based on information from the company's parts suppliers.
iPad Mini: The biggest news would be an update to the iPad Mini, a device central to Apple's strategy for the post-PC era. One of the primary changes expected is the inclusion of a "retina" high-density display similar to what the standard iPad and iPhone use. The display will be made by Samsung.
Mac Pro: The event won't only cover mobile devices. Apple showed off a new cylindrical design for its desktop power-computer in June — to many oohs and ahhs. The device eschews the typical box-like monolithic-looking computer for a circular device about 1/4 the size. Apple previously said the device is arriving in the fall. (Here's Apple's video ad for the Mac Pro.)
OS X 'Mavericks': Apple is expected to provide a release date for the next version of its computer operating system, called Mavericks. While OS X steals less spotlight these days, it is still important to Apple given that it lays the foundation for iOS, the software that runs iPhones and iPads. Mavericks won't be as dramatic a change as iOS 7, but Mac users will receive new features and refinements such as iCloud Keychain, a service for storing and synchronizing passwords.
A Corporate-Health Checkup: Questions swirl around the strong sales figures for the iPhone 5S and 5C, which were released just a month ago. The biggest question is how well the 5C is faring relative to its higher-end counterpart. Apple could use the event as an opportunity to shed some light on the data.
Not So Sure
iPods: Apple's iPod business got a big boost last year when Apple made major changes to the form and function of the Nano, and updated the look of the Touch. Apple hasn't been updating its iPods as frequently, so this year could be quiet on that front.
Apple TV: Rumors abound that Apple is prepping an update for its Apple TV set-top box. Initially, those rumors focused on the Sept. 10 iPhone event, and now they've shifted to this one. Apple did update the Apple TV's software to support new functions like iTunes Radio, but there haven't been indications more is imminently coming down the pike.
'One More Thing': Steve Jobs, the company's co-founder who died in 2011, would utter this phrase before announcing some surprise new product. Apple has had fewer surprises over the years, but that doesn't mean you should count one out.
Don't Bet On It
Smartwatch or TV Set: The Journal has reported Apple is working on various new products for its lineup, including a smartwatch and a television set. Apple first showed off the iPhone a half year before the device hit store shelves. Apple showed its first iPad months before the official release. If Apple wanted to surprise, a watch or TV on Tuesday would certainly fit the bill.

Their home, their memories, and their child...all taken by fire.
Now, an outpouring of love from family, but many questions about what's next for a life turned upside down.
A house fire in Bamberg, South Carolina claimed the life of a ten-year-old boy Sunday night. The boy's parents were taken to the burn ward.
It's been a long day for their family, waiting at Doctor's Hospital.
They say they have no food and nowhere to go.
But what they say they do have is hope...that two of their relatives will be okay.
They're together as a family...holding on and waiting.
Late Sunday night, a fire in Bamberg, South Carolina fully engulfed the home of the Ibarra family.
Sandra and Hugo Ibarra were badly burned and rushed to the Still Burn Center at Doctor's Hospital.
"This is freaky, we don't know the reality of what's going on. My sister called me to Texas on Sunday night and I just don't believe it," says Lupe Gutierrez, brother to Sandra Ibarra.
Everyone else made it out okay but Hugo, the couple's ten-year-old boy...who investigators found dead inside the home after they put out the blaze.
"They lost family, house, everything, he lost, we don't have nothing," says Lupe.
Lupe and Marta Gutierrez drove from Texas and North Carolina on Monday after getting word that their sister and her husband suffered second degree burns.
They, along with forty other family members have waited for hours to get an update.
"We just don't know what going on," says Marta.
Last night, they slept in their cars because they didn't have a place to stay.
But some good news: the couple was released from the hospital Tuesday afternoon. They were still heavily bandaged...but doctors say it's nothing that time and medication can't heal.
The family is headed back to Bamberg tonight where they will be making funeral arrangements for the ten year old.
The Red Cross and several churches have stepped in to help.
They will be feeding the family and putting them in a hotel until permanent arrangements can be made.
State law enforcement is still looking into the cause of the fire.
The Bamberg fire chief says preliminary findings indicate an electrical problem.

Ok please do. We'll all be riveted to our fuckin keyboards until then, waiting to find out. Ever hear of email? Why do people constantly talk about shipping in these threads? Nice work, Sage & company. I'll be buying this as soon as I get paid. I'll be sure to post here and let everyone know what the tax on that purchase ends up being.

2 die as thunderstorms sweep North Carolina

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Two people have died as a line of thunderstorms swept across North Carolina.
Authorities say a volunteer firefighter died in Wilkes County Thursday afternoon when he was electrocuted after responding to a small fire when a tree fell on power lines.
Wilkes County Fire Marshal Kevin Bounds says 36-year-old Tony Barker had joined the Mountain View Volunteer Fire Department last year. Fire Chief Bill Johnson says Barker was a dedicated firefighter who had a wife and a 3-year-old son.
Authorities say 77-year-old Maurice Kilby of Wilkes County died when a large tree fell on him in his yard. Officials say Kilby's wife found him and called for help but he had died by the time rescuers arrived.
No other serious injuries have been reported from the storms.

1. Ryze: business networking with meetups
The basic account's pretty limited, though. You can't contact anyone beyond two degrees, which isn't really that bad because you can (and should!) develop links with people along the way. You can't create your own network, so no Orkut-like groups here. There seems to be a limit on how many times people can contact you. And just what does it mean to "see who wants to network with you"?
On the plus side, you can customize your profile page to an insane extent. That's cool. There's also more of a social aspect to it, with people indicating their interests, haves and wants.
Something to watch because of the meetups, but my primary network's still going to be <nop>LinkedIn.
2. Talk went okay
Need to work on being more interactive. Also need to figure out how to get people to play along with this entire ask-them-to-stand-up-and-look-around thing. Still, much fun.
Have realized that being young makes it hard to establish rapport with audience. Contemplating focusing on writing instead until am sufficiently old enough for people to think it's not mainly a generation thing.
3. Triple-headed Linux geek

Breckenridge Ski Resort announced this week the band lineup for this year's free Bud Light Concert Series as part of Breck's annual Spring Fever Festival. Widely recognized as the biggest spring party in the Rocky Mountain region, Breck Spring Fever this year features more than 40 events taking place from Saturday, March 22, through Sunday, April 27, closing day.
The Bud Light Concert Series brings the party to Breck with four concert days of big-name national acts on Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons on the mountain. All concerts are free to the public and will take place on a specially constructed stage on the snow just outside One Ski Hill Place, at the base of Peak 8, from 2 to 5 p.m. on each concert date.
"We're extremely excited to be able to bring our guests another unbeatable lineup of live national acts to celebrate the end of ski season this year," said Kieran Cain, Breck's director of marketing. "At Breck, we always aim to end ski season with a bang."
Nationally touring acts
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy will be the first major act to take the stage on Saturday, April 12. Known for such hits as "Go Daddy-O," "You & Me & the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight (Baby)" and "Mr. Pinstripe Suit" and their appearance at the Super Bowl XXXIII halftime show in 1999, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy reminds the world that it's still cool to swing, big-band style. The high-energy, nine-piece ensemble urges fans to shake and move to their inimitable grooves while also expanding their horizons with new musical inspiration and influence.
On Sunday, April 13, '90s radio sweethearts The Gin Blossoms will come to Breck. The Grammy-nominated group, with their blend of pop and rock, became a musical force that helped define the sound of the '90s with massive hits such as "Follow You Down," "Til I Hear it From You" and "Hey Jealousy." After a series of charting singles, the band broke up in 1997. They reunited in 2002 and released a fourth album, "Major Lodge Victory," in 2006, and a fifth, "No Chocolate Cake," in 2010.
Colorado natives Yonder Mountain String Band continue the live music on Friday, April 19. Blending bluegrass, rock and countless other influences that the band cites, Yonder has pioneered a sound of its own. With its lineup of instruments, the band may look like a traditional bluegrass band at first glance, but the quartet has created their own music that transcends any genre, as evidenced by their legions of loyal fans.
One of the world's legendary jam bands, Blues Traveler has released a total of nine studio albums, four of which have gone gold, three platinum and one six-times platinum. The band will play live in Breckenridge on Saturday, April 19. Over the course of its illustrious career, Blues Traveler has sold more than 10 million combined units worldwide, played more than 2,000 live shows in front of more than 30 million people, and with its hit song "Run-Around" had the longest-charting radio single in Billboard history, which earned the band a Grammy.
Breck Spring Fever events continue to be added in town and on the mountain throughout the festival; visit www.breckspringfever.com for the latest and most up-to-date schedule of Spring Fever events.

Olympic snowboarder Jessica Jenson returned home to Rigby from Sochi Saturday. Even though she didn't medal at the games, hundreds of people still gathered at Kelly Canyon Ski Resort in Ririe Saturday afternoon to welcome her home.
Jenson arrived at Kelly Canyon with a police escort and headed straight for the crowd, where she signed American flags, snowboards and helmets. She even snowboarded down a run resort officials say they're naming after her.
"I'm just speechless right now. It's such a great welcoming to come home to and to know I have all this support behind me and I couldn't ask for a better crowd," said Jenson.
"It's just a real honor, and we're so proud of her. She really did a good job," said Jenson's grandmother, Kathryn Jenson.
Jenson recalled her disappointment in Sochi when she failed to make it out of the semifinals.
"Had a really good second run, but I fell on the last jump. Just kind of landed a little tail-heavy. But that just motivates me more to work hard and make the next team," Jenson said.
Right now, Jenson said she's taking a break before heading to Colorado.
"I have a couple more events out there, and, you know, I'm really gonna work hard these next four years. I really would like to make the South Korea team," Jenson said, referring to the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.
"But there's other events besides the Olympics that I'll be doing. There's kind of a different circuit, so this is just the starting point of my career," said Jenson.

year 1
The length of the earth's year depends on the manner of calculation. For ordinary purposes the important period is the solar year (also called astronomical year, equinoctial year, or tropical year), which is the time between successive spring or autumnal equinoxes, or winter or summer solstices, roughly 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds in length. This period thus marks the regular cycle of the seasons. See also sidereal year, anomalistic year.

Old English gē(a)r, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch jaar and German Jahr, from an Indo-European root shared by Greek hōra 'season'.
This shares an ancient root with Greek höra 'season, time', source of horology (Late Middle English), horoscope (Old English), and hour. The term leap year, used from the 14th century, probably comes from the fact that in a leap year feast days after February fall two days of the week later than in the previous year, rather than the usual one day, and could be said to have 'leaped' a day.

Months after hurricanes hit the gulf coast, many families are spending Christmas far away from home. They can barely afford to start over, much less buy gifts for their children. News 12 visits the Salvation Army's Annual Toy Shop where workers are seeing some faces they know, but several new ones as well.
Every year the Toy Shop opens, Kathrina Jones is there. She's a single parent with eight children.
"I don't know what's over there, they want bikes, but I don't know, we thank God for whatever we got," Jones said.
The Salvation Army offers the largest amount of Christmas assistance in the CSRA. And while there is a picture full of toys, the list is long for those who applied to come through the shop in the next few days.
"We're gonna help the people can we help with the toys we got and they're gonna be grateful for it," said Tracie Parker, Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army is helping local families but also this year they're helping those evacuated from hurricanes along the gulf coast. It's a need so great that the room used to stock the Toy Shop is getting closer and closer to empty.
Tammie Gilds is shopping for her five children. After relocating from New Orleans, she can hardly believe the help she's getting.
"It's very nice and there's a lot of friendly people here, I'm just shocked," Gilds said.
While her children will get plenty of toys, even coats…
"She might be able to fit this one, my little baby," Gilds said.
…They won't get everything on their list.
"I think I'm gonna get 'em the things they need, but I think they're gonna miss our family the most," Gilds said.
For Kathrina, the people here are like her family. All eight of her children were adopted on this Angel Tree and will get those bikes they really wanted.
"It's the season to be jolly, we thank God for everything that we got," Kathrina said.
The Toy Shop is open until Thursday. That's the makeup day when anyone who hasn't received Christmas assistance from another agency can come. You can shop for infants through age 14. And you must have a picture ID, social security card and proof of income and expenses.

The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends screening for depression in adults. What does this mean for you? The next time you have a doctor's appointment, you may be asked questions about your mental health.
We have known for years that depression is a big problem. According to the National Institutes of Mental Health, major depressive disorder is the leading cause of disability in the US. In a given year, millions of Americans will be diagnosed with a mood disorder (major depressive, dysthymic, or bipolar disorder).
A number of people with the disorder do not even know they have it. Depression is often disguised by other problems. And, though the stigma tied to the disorder is easing, many who are affected still go undetected or untreated.
The USPSTF urges primary care doctors to screen all adult patients for signs of depression and give them appropriate treatment and follow up care.
According to USPSTF, the following two questions are a good place to start:
If your answer is "yes" to either question, contact your primary care doctor for an evaluation. Your doctor may advise completing a more in-depth questionnaire or having a thorough check-up.
Research suggests depression comes from an imbalance of certain brain hormones. The disorder is more common in people who inherit a tendency for depression or those who are exposed to certain environmental triggers.
If you have symptoms of depression that interfere with your daily routine, contact your doctor. A physical exam and psychological evaluation will be done to determine the cause.
Depression is treatable. Research has shown that antidepressant drugs and counseling—alone or in combination—are effective in combating the disorder. However, the combination of talk-therapy and drug therapy may be more effective than either alone. Alternative treatments, such as St. John's wort, are also being studied. And adjusting your lifestyle to include more exercise and social activities may help, as well.
You are encouraged to talk to your doctor if you have concerns about your mental health. If you have thoughts of death or suicide, call for emergency medical services right away. With better screening and medical care, the future looks brighter for adults with depression.

SANTA CLARA -- A 23-year-old San Jose man died early Tuesday when he crashed his motorcycle into a big rig on Highway 101 near Great America, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The fatal collision was reported about 2:40 a.m. in the northbound lanes past Great America Parkway when the victim was riding his Honda CBR "at high speeds" and tried to pass a Peterbilt tractor-trailer traveling in the far-right lane. But he hit the back of the trailer, causing his bike to flip and throw him off, the CHP said.
Several vehicles could not avoid the man lying in the roadway and "inadvertently collided with him," the CHP said. He was pronounced dead at the scene, and his identity was withheld until his relatives are contacted.
All of the other motorists involved in the incident pulled over and cooperated with investigators. It was not immediately clear whether alcohol or drugs were a factor in the crash, which remains under investigation.
The two right lanes of northbound Highway 101 were closed for about two-and-a-half hours while the CHP examined the site.

RICHMOND -- The probe into what caused a massive fire at the Chevron refinery Aug. 6 is stalled while engineers work to make the site safe for investigators, but legal action stemming from the blaze that sent thousands of residents to hospitals is gathering steam.
Three Bay Area law firms sued in Contra Costa County Superior Court on Wednesday, accusing the energy giant of "gross negligence" in its handling of refinery maintenance and emergency response to the fire.
In a news conference held just a block from the claim center that Chevron opened last week for affected residents, Oakland civil rights attorney John Burris told a gaggle of media and residents that refinery leaders allowed a leaky pipe to "fester," putting Richmond residents in unnecessary peril.
"This community has borne the brunt of (Chevron's) negligence," Burris said.
Burris, joined by San Francisco attorneys Matthew Kumin and Partick Goggin, sued Wednesday on behalf of nine local residents, including three children, according to court records. Burris said there would be more plaintiffs and that a class-action suit was likely. More than 1,000 people have contacted his office since the fire, Burris said.
Goggin said the lawsuit seeks extensive safety upgrades, including improved community alert systems, along with unspecified punitive and compensatory damages to the plaintiffs. As part of the 21-page complaint, the attorneys alleged that Chevron has a history of toxic accidents that have harmed residents' health, including 13 fires and uncontrolled emissions from 1989 to 1999.
Chevron spokeswoman Melissa Ritchie said Wednesday that the company is not aware of any other lawsuits.
"When we receive lawsuits, we will review each case based on the merits of their claim and handle as appropriate through the legal process," Ritchie wrote in an email Wednesday.
Soon after the fire, Chevron opened 24-hour claims hot lines, and it has taken more than 7,500 claims by phone and 1,300 more in person at the claims center it opened last week at the Nevin Community Center.
Chevron has vowed to clear all claims -- many related to expenses incurred by the more than 9,000 hospital visits in the aftermath of the fire -- within 30 days. Representatives of the State Bar of California handed out legal fliers to visitors at the claim center last week, and other area attorneys have distributed fliers and other advertisements offering legal services to Richmond residents.
During his news conference, Burris said he advises all residents to refrain from filing claims with Chevron or accepting any compensation from the company to ensure they do not constrain their legal rights.
Ritchie on Wednesday reiterated her earlier assurances that no one who files a claim with Chevron or is reimbursed by the company is asked to sign any documents.
"Residents do not give up their right to file a lawsuit if they receive a claim settlement from Chevron," Ritchie wrote.
It had been thought that all hospital visits were for minor discomforts, usually respiratory issues. But Randy Sawyer, director of Contra Costa County's hazardous materials program, said this week that two or three people, including a small child, suffered severe respiratory symptoms that required hospitalization.
"My understanding is that a child with pre-existing asthma conditions was hospitalized with respiratory problems," Sawyer said.
A spokeswoman from Doctors Medical Center in San Pablo, which handled more than 3,000 people in the five days following the fire, said one person was hospitalized there.
Meanwhile, the site of the fire remains unsafe, preventing investigators from accessing what they said may be the most crucial piece of evidence, a leaky 8-inch pipe that apparently precipitated the fire.
At a Tuesday news conference outside the refinery, U.S. Chemical Safety Board officials said several times that the pipe, its condition and past maintenance -- including a decision not to replace it -- was a "key line of investigation."
A Chemical Safety Board official on Wednesday said a report in the San Francisco Chronicle that the agency believed an idling fire engine "likely" ignited the fire was inaccurate.
"The CSB did say yesterday that (the truck) is a possible ignition source but that there were multiple potential ignition sources, and the actual source may not be determinable and is not a major focus of investigation," CSB spokeswoman Shauna Lawhorne wrote in an email Wednesday.
Chemical Safety Board officials said they viewed Chevron surveillance video that showed a dense vapor cloud, fueled by the leaky pipe, grow to roughly 200 feet wide and 200 feet tall at the refinery's Crude Unit No. 4, briefly enveloping about a dozen workers. Don Holmstrom, a CSB investigator, said initial work has involved viewing the video, interviewing about 50 Chevron workers and requesting thousands of pages of maintenance documents and other records from Chevron.
The source of the leak was an 8-inch pipe carrying 600-plus degree hydrocarbons from the crude unit.
Repair crews initially responded but within minutes evacuated the area.
"If (the vapor cloud) would have ignited sooner, this would have been a much more serious incident," he said.
Residents have been quick to praise the public health response after the fire.
"I went to Kaiser hospital (on Aug. 7) because I was feeling the respiratory impacts," said the Rev. Andre Shumake, a longtime resident. "It was orderly and professional despite a flood of people. It was phenomenal in the midst of the crisis."
Residents and hospital officials have also praised Doctors Medical Center for handling a tremendous volume of people.
Only one of the plaintiffs was on hand at Burris' news conference. Charles Simmons, a 67-year-old resident of North Richmond, which sits nearly adjacent to the refinery, said he was suing because he has been wracked with physical and emotional distress since the fire. Simmons said he suffered a sore throat, sinus irritation, upset stomach and other symptoms since the fire.
Burris, who has a reputation for suing law enforcement agencies for alleged misconduct, said Wednesday that his legal action was more about improving safety and alert systems at the refinery than securing monetary damages.
"We want to force the kind of remedial actions that will minimize the likelihood of this happening in the future," he said.

Go Ahead, Answer the Door; Gluten Free Girl Scout Cookies Are A-Knocking
The Girls in green have hitched their cookie cart to the gluten-free bandwagon
With everything from the new COCOMobile app that lets you locate nearby cookie stands, to ever-evolving sales tactics (a local entrepreneur left behind a doorknob hangtag to say she was sorry to have missed me, but here was her info if I had a hankering for some Thin Mints), the Girl Scouts are clearly chameleons who change with the times.
READ: Does Your Lunchbox Need a Makeover?
It should come as no surprise then that the Scouts, with more than a little help from its two commercial bakers, have added a gluten-free goodie to their assortment of 28 cookie offerings.
Of this "Chocolate Chip Shortbread" pilot program, ABC Bakers, purveyors of GS goodies since 1936, says, "We believe that everyone should be able to support the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Since it's estimated that three million people have problems when they eat foods that contain gluten, [we] expect this cookie to be a huge success."
This isn't the first time the organization has changed its cookie roster to keep up with the times. Over the years, they've added "healthy" options (like this season's whole grain "Cranberry Citrus" and vegan choices like "Thanks-A-Lot" and "Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs*"), which have been welcomed by the cookie-eating community with varying degrees of popularity.
Indeed, the Scouts have long been sensitive to worldwide issues, a point they made clear in 2011 by introducing a new palm oil policy, pledging to support and use only those oils produced in a sustainable manner.
Now, those of you who've been frantically scanning this post for dreaded words like "discontinued" or "ceased production" in association with Samoas a.k.a. Caramel deLites* or (heaven forbid) the aforementioned Thin Mints, can rest at ease. None of the GS Cookie bakers have any intention of retiring those titles or messing with their tried and true formulations. Still, since you never know which health trend is coming round the corner, you might want to stock your coffers (and freezers, have you ever tried a frozen Thin Mint?!?) just to safe.
READ: The DIet that Lets Your Eat Unlimited Chocolate Chip Cookies
*Ever wonder why some years your favorite caramel and toasted coconut covered cookies are called "Samoas" and others their branded "Caramel deLites?" You're not going coconuts. Chalk it up to the different bakeries -- each has its own cookie names for the same recipes -- so it just depends on whose batch you get.

SAN RAMON -- Chevron's first-quarter profit plunged 27 percent, with earnings of $4.51 billion squeezed by weaker oil prices and slumping production levels, the energy giant reported Friday.
The company's profit of $2.36 a share fell short of Wall Street's expectations of $2.51, and revenue of $53.27 billion missed analysts' predictions of $57 billion. The company's shares fell 0.2 percent, or 22 cents, to close at $124.72 Friday.
San Ramon-based Chevron said lower oil prices and reduced volumes for production of crude oil were the primary culprits behind the weaker profits.
However, it said it is poised for significant growth in production and profits, primarily on the strength of major projects. Those include two huge liquefied natural gas projects off the coast of Western Australia known as Gorgon and Wheatstone, and a large oil and natural gas project in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico known as Jack/St. Malo.
"We made substantial progress on our major capital projects," Chevron CEO John Watson told analysts during a conference call. "Gorgon is about 76 percent complete while Wheatstone is about 27 percent complete."
Gorgon should begin production in 2015, while the Jack/St. Malo project is expected to start producing by the end of this year.
Chevron believes production will increase in 2015 and grow by 20 percent in 2017.
In recent years, much of Chevron's focus has been on its upstream -- exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas -- which has become a big driver of company profits.
However, in the first quarter, Chevron upstream profit fell 27 percent, totaling $4.31 billion. Profit for downstream operations -- primarily refining and retail -- rose 1.3 percent, totaling $710 million.
During the January-March period, Chevron produced the equivalent of 2.59 million barrels of oil, down 2.3 percent from the year-ago first quarter.
"I still like Chevron's approach, even if 2014 is a bit of a lull for them," said Brian Youngberg, an analyst with investment firm Edward Jones. "Chevron is the most profitable on a per-barrel basis of the big oil companies."
Chevron's per-barrel cash profit, before certain expenses, is about $37 a barrel, compared with about $28 a barrel in profit for the company's nearest competitors, according to a company presentation.
"There are reasons to be optimistic about Chevron, and it's not a hypothetical prediction, it's real, given the multiple high-impact projects that will be starting over the next 24 months," said Pavel Molchanov, an analyst with investment firm Raymond James. "Production growth should average about 5 percent a year in 2015, 2016 and 2017."

Harness the power of the sun with solar powered lighting. There is free electricity readily available in your own backyard. Outdoor solar lights are easy to install and are virtually maintenance free. Solar lighting makes the perfect complement to your energy-efficient landscape.
Solar Lighting Benefits:
• Low energy costs. After equipment purchase, the sun provides all of the necessary power.
• Minimal maintenance. Solar products typically have a limited number of moving parts, which eliminates the need to replace parts due to breakage and wear.
• Zero emissions. Solar products use the power resource without any resulting waste material.
• Off grid power needs. Solar lights continue working even if there has been a power outage. Because the energy isn't coming off of an electrical grid, power outages make no difference.
• Portability. You can use solar lighting to light homes, cabins, campsites, backyards or RVs in remote locations. With no power lines to run, using solar power may be a cheaper.
• Easy installation. The majority of outdoor solar lighting has no confusing wires that must be connected to your main electrical system. Setting up your lights can be as simple as hanging them on a tree or staking them into the ground.
These advantages extend to both the wallet and the environment. In addition to all of this, the benefits of solar lighting are only destined to increase as solar technology advances.
Solar Lighting Placement
• Place lights in areas that will receive direct sunlight. Placement in shaded areas will result in poor lighting performance.
• Consider installing a variety of products for the various applications, including walkway, festive, security and standard lighting applications.

PARKERSBURG - The community came out Monday evening to see what area businesses had to offer at the 2013 Business Expo.
About 76 businesses and organizations had booths set up at the E.L.I.T.E. Sports Center in south Parkersburg to promote their products, services and facilities to the public and other businesses.
Nearly 700 people attended the expo, said Jill Parsons, president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce of the Mid-Ohio Valley. The Parkersburg News and Sentinel was one of the sponsors of the event.

''We are really pleased with the attendance tonight,'' she said. ''We had great support from the business community to attend and participate with having a booth as well as the people who came to learn more about our business community from both the public and our chamber members.
''As soon as it opened to the general public, wow, a ton of folks came in for that part. It has been continuous people coming in,'' she said.
The first part of Monday's event was for local businesses to interact and make contacts among themselves. The remainder was open to the general public to interact with the businesses.
Vendors included nonprofit organizations and businesses dealing with health care, roofing, golf, transportation, retail, banks, automotive and windows.
''We have had a nice mixture of booths,'' Parsons said.
The Community Bank booth saw several people wanting to talk banking services, said Mary Barnett, vice president of Community Bank.
''Things are going really well,'' she said. ''Tonight we feel like it has been a very nice turnout and we have had a lot of conversations.''
The big topic with many people was interest rates, which have been low for a while, Barnett said.
''We have had several conversations about mortgage loan rates today so we will see what happens,'' she said. ''We are very happy with the turnout tonight. I am glad we are here.''
Doug Kreinik of Kreinik Manufacturing said people are surprised to see its products are manufactured in the Mid-Ohio Valley.
Kreinik showed the company's materials, like a new reflective yarn it makes, and made friendship bracelets for people who brought their children to the expo.
''It is a great idea to have an event like this for the community and I wish there were more businesses here,'' Kreinik said. ''It is the only business to business function we have in Parkersburg. I think it is really important.''
Matt Tranquill, advertising director for the Parkersburg News and Sentinel, said the expo was a chance for businesses to come together and reach new customers.
''The newspaper takes great pride in partnering with the Chamber of Commerce of the Mid-Ohio Valley and giving our business partners even more ways to reach their customer base,'' he said.
Sandy and George Hall of Wood County said they visit a lot of events like this one.
''I love expos,'' Sandy said. ''We go all over the place.
''It is like trick-or-treat for adults. It is just fun. It is an excuse to get out and exercise because you really have to get out and walk around. There is always candy and there is food. It is just a nice evening out.''
George was a general contractor before he retired. They like to see some of the people he has known for years.
''We also like to see the new products that are out and keeping up with what is going on,'' he said.
''We like to keep our finger on the pulse and know what is going on,'' Sandy said. ''There was a lot of things going on.''
Lois Moore of Mineral Wells attended last year's show and wanted to see the expo's products this year.
''We really enjoyed it,'' she said. ''We are just looking at the different businesses and seeing what is available.''
Parsons said she hopes the public realizes the mixture of businesses available in this community and that there are great resources here for all types of products and services. Businesses that do business with other businesses can make valuable contacts at the expo, she said.
Businesses rely on the public for the majority of their business, Parsons said.
''They are making that connection,'' Parsons said. ''It may not be a service or a product that person needs at that particular moment, but you hope by visiting with them that the next time they need that service or product, they can say 'Hey, I met that team at the Business Expo and I need that service and I should go and support that business.'''

Too many passwords to remember? 1Password can create strong, unique passwords for you, remember them, and restore them, all directly in your web browser.
1Password is a password manager that goes beyond simple password storage by integrating directly with your web browser to automatically log you into websites, enter credit card information, fill registration forms, and easily generate strong passwords.
Your passwords, identities, and credit cards, are just some of the confidential information that 1Password stores in one secure place, protected by the only password you will need to remember.
1Password has received numerous awards, including 4.5 mice from Macworld magazine, MacLife Editors pick, and was the Pick of Week on MacBreak Weekly by both Leo Laporte and Merlin Mann.

This App doesn't just work ... it's almost alive. It is there when you need it. Function is totally "crossplatform" ... at least from a Mac perspective ;-) ... covering OS X and both iOS forms (iPhone & iPad) ... there is now also a version for Windows if you must deal with that.
The interface works well supporting different "classes" of items (login, wallet, software as well as free form notes) as well as folders and tags. The folders are nicely implemented such that you can chose NOT to sync some folders to your iOS devices thus providing an extra level of security for select items. Syncing is by wireless and does not require iTunes activation.
The integration into browsers is excellent both for output (going from App to auto login of a site) and capture (browser to App). Hopefully this will also extend to iPad when the OS supports multitasking.
With all that, support is responsive.
Would that more apps performed at this level of function.
This is a great app and the customer service/support is outstanding. I just wish I would have found the app earlier. It has saved me time and helps me feel more secure with my important information.
I have been accompanying 1Password on its growth path for the past three-and-a-half years, and the progress they have been making is impressive. One area in which, until recently, I felt the application was a little rough on the edges was sync.
But I have just discovered that you have been offering a Dropbox sync option with iOS devices since July, and it solves the problem beautifully (although there were a few dupe issues on my initial sync, nothing outrageous though).
With various other minor improvements, I think that 1Password can really now rate as the best password application available, by quite a wide margin.
I seldom leave reviews, but 1Password truly deserves it. It has been part of my core productivity setup since 2007. I can't imagine having to remember all of the passwords without it, and the time it saves logging in is priceless.
I like knowing that if 1Password fills in the login it has recognized that the site is legitimate and not a phishing site.
I love the way 1Password stays out of the way but is always there when needed, its simple way of adding new logins, and cross-browser support - examples of how software should be written. It also offers a full GUI for managing stored logins, secure notes, software licenses, and more.
I also use 1Password for iPhone, which securely synchronizes with my desktop - all of my logins and securely stored information is always with me.
This review would not be complete without praising 1Password's Customer Support. Over the years I've interacted with their staff many times and always came away impressed with the experience.
I've been using 1Password for over a year and it has saved me some real headaches. The app is simple to use, full featured, safe, reliable, stable, and comes with great support. I have to have simplicity in these types of apps, just because if they're not simple, they take too much time and therefore are not helping me be productive.
There are other good apps out there, but most I've tried are either not well supported or simply not user friendly. 1Password is used on my iPhone and iMac and iPad and syncs up beautifully. You can't go wrong with it. From auto-creation of encrypted passwords, to simple things like storing credit card info, it is the one app I trust to do it all.
Kudos to Agile for this app!
I echo the comments of those who use 1P on multiple machines. My iPad, MacBook Pro, MacBook White, Mac Pro 8-core, and G5 Dual 2 Gig all stay up-to-date with 1P in Dropbox. Not only that, but I messed up a setting file and got PERSONAL service from their technical team. Completely restored over 160 passwords in a matter of seconds. Customer service AND a great product. Wow, Adobe could take some lessons from Agile.
I tried several password and account storage apps on my iPhone but found them all lacking either due to the fact they were hard to use and/or did not have a desktop (Mac) version. Then I found 1Password! All I can say is WOW! This app is perfect. I have it on iPhone, iPad, and multiple Macs. It makes handling online accounts so simple and fast. Logins, inserting credit card info, and so on, couldn't be easier. I had a problem with one upgrade, and I was in a panic because I thought I might have lost everything. But support response was rapid and effective. A simple reinstall was all it needed and all my data were safe (lots of automatic backups built in). I am very happy to recommend this program.
I have been using 1Password for awhile, both on my Mac and on my iPhone, to store securely my login usernames and passwords, notes, and other information I want to protect. I have found it to be extremely useful, reliable, and easy to use. The graphics are appealing, and the sync function allows me to keep both the Mac and iPhone updated. On the rare occassion that I have experienced a technical glitch, the company that makes the software, Agile Solutions, has provided excellent customer support, really the best of any software product I've ever used. The support team is responsive, quick, friendly, and can tell you how to fix a problem or will come up with an update that does the trick within a day or two. They know their product well. This is is truly amazing customer service! I highly recommend 1Password.
I truly believe that it is impossible for anyone to be secure in their dealings with dozens, or even hundreds of internet services that demand usernames and passwords without a utilty like 1Password. I've tried many solutions, and none of them are as robust, well integrated and seamsless as this one. 5 Stars!
I used RoboForm for years on my PC. Just bought my first Mac and found that there was no version of Roboform for Mac. Took me a while to find 1P but I did and with almost instant help from their support team, I got it up and running. Much better than RoboForm, more robust, more secure, many selections for filling the blanks, etc.
I am suggesting to everyone I know who has a Mac to purchase it.

USA, 2013, 110 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subject: DocumentaryLanguage: English
ONE NIGHT ONLY! Tuesday, May 13th at 7pm.
The subjects of Before You Know It are no ordinary senior citizens. They are go-go booted bar-hoppers, love struck activists, troublemaking baton twirlers, late night Internet cruisers, seasoned renegades and bold adventurers. They are also among the estimated 2.4 million lesbian, gay and bisexual Americans over the age of 55 in the United States, many of whom face heightened levels of discrimination, neglect and exclusion. But this is not a film about cold statistics and gloomy realities, it's a film about generational trailblazers who have surmounted prejudice and defied expectation to form communities of strength, renewal and camaraderie – whether these communities be affable senior living facilities, lively activist enclaves or wacky queer bars brimming with glittered trinkets and colorful drag queens.
Dennis is a gentle-hearted widower in his 70s who begins exploring his sexual identity and fondness for dressing in women's clothing under the name "Dee." Ty is an impassioned LGBT activist who hears nothing but wedding bells once gay marriage passes in New York. Robert "The Mouth" is a feisty bar owner who presses on when his neighborhood institution comes under threat. Born before the Civil Rights era, these men have witnessed unbelievable change in their lifetimes, from the Stonewall Riots and gay liberation, to the HIV/AIDS pandemic and Queer Nation, to gay marriage and Lady Gaga, and have lived to become part of an unprecedented "out" elder generation. While the film focuses on the lives of these three gay seniors, it reminds us that the issues LGBT elders face, issues such as aging, it reminds us that their challenges are universal. An affirmation of life and human resilience told with a refreshing humor and candor, Before You Know It confirms that you are never too old to reshape society.

Better living through nature
by Justine Patton
In The News, Meat, Vegetarian Diet, Meatless Mondays, Statistics, Healthy Diet, Health In America, Obesity, Health, Tips
According to USDA projections, Americans will eat 12 percent less meat and poultry in 2012 than they consumed five years ago. This could be due to recent efforts, such as the Meatless Monday campaign, to shift Americans toward a diet with more meatless dishes.
The Meatless Monday campaign began in 2003, urging Americans to start their workweeks off vegetarian style. It has been recognized by people such as James Cameron, Oprah Winfrey, Jessica Capshaw and others.
The reason for this movement?
Well. there are many. One driving force behind the cause is the health of the American population. On average, Americans eat 1/2 pound of meat a day. If you do the math, that's 180 pounds of meat a year, which is twice the amount of meat Americans ate in 1960. Studies have shown that eating that much meat can be detrimental to your health. Diets high in red meat put individuals at an increased risk for cancer, heart disease, stroke, obesity and diabetes.
Campaigns like Meatless Monday encourage people to reduce the amount of meat they consume to help benefit themselves and the planet. Photo by freefotouk/Courtesy Flickr
The campaign claims that we're not just harming ourselves; we're also hurting the planet. Twenty percent of manmade greenhouse gas emissions is attributed to the meat industry. These emissions contribute to global warming and climate change.
Now, it's no secret that Americans like eating meat, and the campaign isn't asking we give up meat altogether. Instead, it's asking we give it up one day out of the week: Monday.
Why Monday, you ask? Mondays mark the start of the week for many Americans. It's the day we look ahead to the upcoming workweek, make plans and evaluate our progress. Studies suggest we have a better chance of maintaining behaviors that we start on Mondays. So, it's the perfect day to try something new that could benefit our health and the health of our planet.
If you're not sure where to start, the Meatless Monday website offers hundreds of meatless, yet still delicious and filling, recipes, such as whole wheat blueberry pancakes, black bean burgers and quick quesadillas.

RMU Women Secure NEC Playoff Berth
from press release
MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- The Robert Morris
University women's lacrosse team earned its first postseason
appearance Sunday with a, 11-8, win against Monmouth at Joe Walton
The Colonials (7-8, 6-2) picked up their fifth consecutive victory Sunday knocking off the Hawks (10-5, 5-2), who entered the day tied for first place in the Northeast Conference standings. The win secures Robert Morris first trip to the Northeast Conference Tournament. Sophomore Rachel Engel (Pittsburgh, Pa. / Upper St. Clair) led the Colonial offensively with three goals and two assists.
Robert Morris found itself in an early hole thanks to three Monmouth goals in the first 6:40 of the game. The Colonials netted their first goal of the game at the 21:19 mark on a shot from Kaleigh Gibbons (Candia, N.H. / Manchester Central) off of an assist from Ashley Trombetta (Sykesville, Md. / Century). Trombetta along with fellow seniors Karly O'Brien (Rockville, Md. / Our Lady of Good Counsel), Elizabeth Sunseri (Pittsburgh, Pa. / Mt. Lebanon) and Mallory Schulze (Bel Air, Md. / C. Milton Wright) were honored before game as part of the team's senior day and became the Colonial all-time winningest class with the victory against the Hawks.
Engel tallied the next three RMU goals with one coming off coming on a free position shot while the other two were assisted. Lauren Roberts (Baldwinsville, N.Y. / C.W. Baker) added a free position goal at the 5:19 mark of the first half to give Robert Morris a 5-3 advantage at the intermission.
Monmouth came out strong in the second half with three unanswered goals to open second stanza including two from Sam Lillo to give the Hawks at 6-5 advantage with 23:28 remaining in the half. Roberts tied the game off of an assist from Engel at the 22:42 mark and MacKenzie Lawler (Okemos, Mich. / Okemos) gave RMU its second lead of the game off assist from Colleen O'Donnell (Portland, Ore. / St. Mary's Academy) 40 seconds later.
Rachel Feirstein tied the game for the Hawks at seven with 14:11 left in regulation but Robert Morris responded with four of the game's final five goals with three coming off of free position shots.
Sunseri scored on the free position at the 12:08 mark to give Robert Morris a lead they would not relinquish. Trombetta made it a 9-7 advantage at the 7:23 mark off an assist from Engel. Feirstein tried to rally her team with a free-position goal with 5:33 remaining in regulation but it would not be enough.
Trombetta and O'Donnell added two more free position goals to put the game out of reach for the Hawks and send RMU to its first postseason. Schulze spearheaded the Colonials defensive effort causing a season high three turnovers and helped RMU hold Monmouth to its second lowest goal total in NEC play this season.
Robert Morris returns to action at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday as they close the regular season with a road trip to instate conference rival Saint Francis (Pa.).

Frank White - One Man's Dream
Tuesday, October 23, 2012
6:30pm @ Plaza Branch
During his 18 years playing for the Royals, Frank White became a beloved figure in Kansas City.
His career was one of superlatives: He appeared in five All-Star Games, won eight Gold Glove awards for fielding, and batted cleanup in the 1985 World Series (one of only two second basemen to do so after Jackie Robinson).
In a public conversation with sportswriter Bill Althaus, co-writer of One Man's Dream: My Town, My Team, My Time, White discusses his life and career.
He will also tell his side of the story of his dramatic split from the Royals earlier this year.

In case you missed it, Lady Gaga and R. Kelly performed together on SNL and it was weird as hell. They dry humped and grabbed each other's privates and made everyone feel uncomfortable. Basically, nobody wanted to see this BS and we don't want to ever see it again.

Office of Border Health
In the early 1990s, the NMDOH had a much larger role in delivering health services, especially in maternal and child health for under-served residents in rural areas. The Office of Border Health (OBH) operated a mobile clinic to provide a variety of health care services to thousands of people lacking ready access to such services due to distance and/or the dearth of alternative medical service providers.
Since that time, and in response to population growth and changing demographics, the NMDOH has collaborated with the Executive and Legislative branches of State Government, federal agencies and non-profit organizations, to improve health care in these areas.
Since OBH was established in 1993, two additional local public health offices operated by NMDOH, but more importantly, 16 additional private non-profit community health centers and specialty health services providers have been established throughout New Mexico's Border Region.

Watch out for Good Sport
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 9:54:30 PM in IWC (29)
International Watch Co. (IWC) Schaffhausen, Swiss manufacturer of fine timepieces since 1868, reaches out to the community in partnership with Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. The foundation stands on its belief in the power of sports to melt down barriers and bring social transformation. It goes around the world seeking to inspire and motivate children of different nations through sports as a vehicle of hope and positive change. As one in the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, IWC published a beautifully illustrated book entitled "Let the Children Play" in which renowned authors and photographers documented ten projects supported by the sports foundation. Since 2006, the Swiss watch maker also released several limited edition watches in honor of the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. The latest of these is the Portofino Chronograph Laureus Edition, which is especially engraved in the back with a Laureus child's artwork depicting how the project inspired and affected him. IWC donates to the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation from sales of the special edition. IWC Schaffhausen also played an important part in bringing the foundation alive in Switzerland. IWC watches, including the Laureus special edition pieces, are available at Shreve & Co. in Palo Alto.

President Barack Obama aimed to refocus the national debate and put the economy front and center with a speech at Knox College in Illinois.

SAN JOSE -- Neel Kashkari made the best of it Wednesday.
As news broke that the latest Field Poll found him trailing far behind fellow Republican candidate for governor Tim Donnelly -- with both being slaughtered by Gov. Jerry Brown -- Kashkari squared his shoulders, fixed his smile and told about 200 Rotary Club members that "winning as a Republican in California will be very hard but not impossible."
He said he decided to run only after Democrats won their legislative supermajorities in 2012. "I said, 'Someone has to fight to turn this around,' and I looked around the state and I didn't see a bench."
A member of the audience asked how he can run while representing a party that, at least at the national level, opposes gay rights, rolls back voting-rights legislation and sometimes describes the poor as "takers and moochers."
"All of the perceptions that you just articulated are part of why I decided to do this," Kashkari replied, noting that his top goal is to win but his second goal "is to rebuild the Republican Party around a very positive, inclusive image" of fighting for the poor and middle class. "I have to be an optimist."
The former U.S. Treasury Department official, now an Orange County asset manager, told reporters he's undaunted: "We're honestly where we thought we'd be" without having run any paid ads or direct mail so far, he said.
That will start about May 5, when vote-by-mail ballots start reaching voters, with television ads and direct mail focused on San Diego, Orange County and other areas with enough conservatives and moderates to make it worthwhile, he said. Donnelly might be ahead now, he said, but "I believe we're going to have a substantial resource advantage."
Any blitz Kashkari mounts will have to be extremely frugal by California standards. He had about $903,000 cash on hand as of March 17 and has raised at least about $150,000 since then. That's better than Donnelly has been doing, but it's a fraction of Brown's $19.7 million war chest.
Kashkari told the audience Wednesday that Brown is an honorable man who chose a career in public service despite being born into a life of privilege, but who is unwilling to make the big changes California needs.
Since launching his campaign in January, Kashkari has tried to leverage voters' outrage over job creation he says is too slow, underperforming schools and Brown's commitment to an increasingly unpopular high-speed rail plan. But the Field Poll found Brown's job approval at a record-high 59 percent and disapproval at 32 percent -- not much outrage for an opponent to leverage.
The poll also found that 57 percent of likely voters in June's primary support Brown while 17 percent support Donnelly -- a highly conservative assemblyman whose campaign started months before Kashkari's -- 3 percent support Laguna Beach Mayor Andrew Blount, 2 percent support Kashkari and 20 percent remain undecided. Donnelly was backed by about 11 times as many Republican likely voters as Kashkari -- and Brown is backed by five times as many.
It wasn't the first poll to show Kashkari within the margin of error of getting no votes at all, and California Republican Party Chairman Jim Brulte all but wrote off the governor's race at last month's GOP convention.
Democrats are gloating.
"The battle royal between the Wall Street and tea party wings of the Republican Party is well underway, but with less than 60 days to go, it appears Tim 'Tea Party' Donnelly has 'Wall Street' Neel Kashkari on the ropes," California Democratic Party spokesman Tenoch Flores said Wednesday.
