Ten months after the deadly chlorine release, the Federal Railroad Administration ordered all railroad companies to improve manual track switching procedures. And while Norfolk Southern says they had similar procedures in place, the FRA's mandation will only make it safer.
A lot has changed since a year ago, from slowing trains down in Graniteville to making sure manual switches are in the right place and it is documented, nearly a year after the Graniteville collision and chlorine release. In this 300-page report, an engineer, brakeman and conductor admit to the National Transportation and Safety Board they may have forgotten to flip this switch in the correct place. It's a mistake that cost 9 people their lives and hundreds are still suffering from breathing problems after the colliding train's chlorine was released.
Nearly a year after this accident, the Federal Railroad Administration ordered all railroad companies to improve manual switch procedures.
"We have put in place the measures the FRA put forth regarding the procedures railroad crews have to go through to document whether or not manual switches are open or closed," said Robin Chapman, Norfolk Southern.
Norfolk Southern says they had procedures in place, but the FRA just adds another level of security.
"What the FRA rules do is put more documentation to what the crews are supposed to be doing," Chapman said.
Companies had to retrain and test workers on the procedures, which includes signing a statement that a switch is set correctly.
And what about the speed of trains? Norfolk Southern slowed the trains to 25 miles per hour.

About the Book
The Anatomy of Type is the ultimate stylistic guide to the intricacies and design of 100 indispensable typefaces. A delightful, colorful, and visual reference guide created by Stephen Coles and Tony Seddon—two acknowledged pros in the font design world—The Anatomy of Type was developed with typographers, graphic designers, and font geeks in mind, graphically and visually expanding on the current font-mania initiated by Simon Garfields's Just My Type.
A visual treat for anyone who loves fonts and typographic design.
The Anatomy of Type explores one hundred traditional and modern typefaces in loving detail, with a full spread devoted to each entry. The full character set from each typeface is shown, and the best letters for identification are enlarged and annotated, revealing key features, anatomical details, and the finer, often-overlooked elements of type design. Containing in-depth information on everything from the designer and foundry, the year of release, and the different weights and styles available, The Anatomy of Type is more than a reference guide to the intricacies of typeface design. It is a visual send-up of some of the world's most beloved typefaces, whimsically displayed in vibrant color.

The mayor, town manager, town council members and various community members all turned out to honor two stand-up members of the Dillon Police Department Thursday. Police chief Steve Neumeyer promoted Tina White and Brian Brady to sergeant in a ceremony at Dillon Town Hall.
"I've watched them through these last months and they've done a great job," Neumeyer said.
Becoming a sergeant requires commitment and dedication, Neumeyer said, mixed in with specific other qualities. His sergeants should have a sense of experience and must demonstrate their leadership. He explained that his job as police chief is mainly administrative and the sergeants are doing a lot of work
"I think they'll take it to a new dimension," Neumeyer said, especially as the police department moves forward.
Thursday's ceremony was actually the third time that White has been promoted to sergeant. She's been a part of the Dillon police force for six years. Before that, she reached sergeant within both the Silverthorne and Frisco police departments, adding up to about 20 years overall in Summit County.
"It takes a lot of work, it takes a lot of dedication and time," White said of her job. "You've got to develop that rapport in your department, not only with the officers but with the community and the other people in the town."
Though White said that she sometimes has to put family on the back burner in order to excel at her job, the support of her family was obvious as her husband took photos of the ceremony and went up to pin on her badge himself.
Brady's family was also out in full force to support him. His son, Kris, is a detective with the Summit County Sheriff's Office. His wife Kathleen pinned on his sergeant's badge.
"We're very proud of him. He deserves it," she said.
Brady's daughter, Kassie, added, "I'm very proud of him. He's definitely someone I look up to."
Brady has been in Dillon for five years. Previously, he worked in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., for 27 years as a detective in organized crime and vice.
"This is one of the best towns in the world," Brady said of Dillon. He added that he is looking forward to the future developments of the town's police department.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for Dillon," said town manager Joe Wray of the new sergeants. "We have two veteran, very experienced officers who have proven themselves not just with the town of Dillon but with the whole community. This is the next step for continuing the professional development of the Dillon Police Department."

Analysis published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Economic Research Service (ERS) in the most recent issue of the journal Science examine the relationship between public and private investments in research and development (R&D) and their importance in agricultural input industries. The Science article is drawn from a recent ERS study that provides new details on the rapid growth and changing composition of private investments in global agricultural R&D and traces the implications for agriculture.
Findings reported in the Science article include:
* Globally, about half or more of all private investment in food and agricultural research and development have been devoted to food manufacturing, not toward input industries and other areas that directly increase agricultural production.
* Recent increases in private agricultural input research have mostly centered on crops, including farm machinery and some biofuels investments; livestock-related research and crop protection chemicals have experienced less growth.
* Research into biofuels has become increasingly important, with estimated global investments by private companies at approximately $1.47 billion in 2009.
* In both crop seed and animal breeding, biotechnology research was an important driver of consolidation in these industries.
* Private spending contributed to the overall growth in R&D for agricultural in the face of slowing or stagnant public R&D resources, but addressed a narrower set of research topics and input industries than publicly funded R&D.
* Public policies have a major influence on private-sector incentives to invest in agricultural research. Intellectual property protection, regulatory frameworks, and especially, public investments in basic science that opens up new technological opportunities, have been important drivers of the growth of private agricultural R&D.

Just three days ago, Keri Herman received a very exciting phone call. It was from U.S. Freeskiing, telling her that she had won the first World Cup title and crystal globe for slopestyle skiing.
"It was awesome," Herman said of winning the title. "It's pretty exciting; it's the first time our sport's been part of this."
Herman, who has lived in Breckenridge for the past 10 years, won all 200 of the points that awarded her the title in her first two competitions of the season.
The first of these was the End of the World Challenge, taking place in Ushuaia, Argentina. Ushuaia is the southernmost city in the world, at the very southern tip of South America and close to Antarctica.
"Argentina was crazy, because they call it the 'end of the world' down there," Herman said. "It was really cool going down and trying to speak Spanish and exploring a new place. The contest was pretty fun."
It was also challenging, she said. "It was tricky, because they don't have much experience making the course," this being the first time the event has been held at Ushuaia. "The speed was really tricky, it was hard clearing the jump, but it was still fun," she said.
In Argentina, Herman took first place, putting her in the lead with FIS World Cup points. James Woods, from England, took first on the men's side. Though he skis for England, Woods often spends part of his season in Breckenridge, where he and Herman, good friends, ski together and hang out.
Herman's second event was practically her home turf, at the Grand Prix at Copper Mountain Resort in January. It was her second World Cup win in a row and enough to keep her in the lead for the rest of the season.
"Copper was a huge, a huge event. I believe there were almost 50 girls, 48 or something, which is crazy, from all over the world," she said. "It was for sure the craziest contest I've ever done, with the most competition, so winning that, I couldn't believe it, I was so excited. It was such an amazing feeling."
Her friend, Woods, also won in the men's division and now holds the men's World Cup title as well.
After her two wins, Herman said she took some time off "and just stayed in Breck and played. That's the goal in skiing for me - to do well enough to do whatever I want during the rest of the season."
Herman did attend some other competitions, including the Nine Queens event in Austria, where she unfortunately injured herself on the first day, coming away with a broken hand and a concussion. After that came the Euro X-Games in France, which she attended but could not compete due to her injuries.
Despite the setback, Herman is upbeat about her prospects. "It's all good. It'll heal," she said.
The worst part is that the concussion is keeping her away from skiing even for fun.
"It's impossible," she said, trying to stay away from the sport she loves so much.
Fortunately, Herman has a lot to look forward to, mostly the 2014 Winter Olympics, which will feature slopestyle skiing for the first time.
"It's been a goal, what I'm working for, so this was a good first move," Herman said.
Although there may be much more in the future, for now Herman's friends and family are proud of her current accomplishments.
"I'm so happy for her," said her mother, Diana Herman. "It's exciting. She made history."

Pasadena City Council Adopts Level 2 Water Shortage Plan.
The Pasadena City Council at its June 1, 2015 meeting declared a local water emergency, establishing a 28-percent conservation goal and implementing the City's Level 2 Water Supply Shortage Plan, with mandatory water waste restrictions effective immediately. As part of the City's Level 2 Water Supply Shortage Plan now in effect, Pasadena property owners will be limited to watering outdoors two days per week on Tuesday and Saturday, from April 1 to October 31, and one day per week on Saturday only from November 1 to March 31. Additionally, Pasadena Water and Power (PWP) reminds customers to adjust their sprinkler timers to water before 9 a.m. or after 6 p.m.
PWP customers can report water waste to the Pasadena Citizen Service Center at (626) 744-7311 or through the online form. Fines for repeat offenders can be up to $500 per violation for residential customers and up to $1,000 per violation for commercial accounts. View a complete list of water waste restrictions. Also, read about water-saving rebates and conservation tips. The City Council approved Pasadena's existing Water Waste Prohibitions and Water Supply Shortage Plans Ordinance in 2009 and enacted the Level 1 plan on July 28, 2014.
The key water waste prohibitions currently in effect for all PWP water customers include:
State Water Board Adopts Emergency Water Regulations
As California is facing a severe drought, the State Water Resources Control Board ("State Water Board") Adopted Resolution No. 2014-0038 with proposed Emergency Regulations on July 15, 2014. These regulations require numerous statewide conservation measures and water waste prohibitions. Pasadena's existing permanent water waste prohibitions (PMC 13.10.032) cover these requirements, except for the limitations on watering days.
The following is a summary of the key components in the Water Shortage Procedures Ordinance. Click here to read or print the unabridged ordinance.
Under a Level 2 Water Supply Shortage Plan, following instances of water waste are prohibited:
The city's "Water Shortage Level" will tell you how many days per week you can water outdoors and other water use restrictions.
In the event that a water shortage is declared by City Council, they will also declare which of four "Water Shortage Levels" exists. The Level will indicate which other water use restrictions will take effect in addition to the permanent water waste prohibitions listed above.

Warnings and fines will be used to enforce the ordinance.
PWP will work closely with customers to provide helpful information and issue written warnings for first offenses. However, residential customers and all other customers with meter sizes smaller than 1 ½" who continue to violate the ordinance will face fines of $100 - $500 for future violations. Fine amounts are double for non-residential customers with meters of 1 ½" or larger. Flow restrictors may also be used to achieve compliance. A customer does have the right to a hearing if a written request is received by PWP within ten (10) days of the date of notification. See PMC Sections 13.10.065 to .095 in the Water Waste Prohibition ordinance for details on fines.

I'm pretty sure I can blame my maternal grandmother for my distorted view of how the aging process works.
Grandma was born in 1882, married in 1900 and had 10 children, nine of whom lived to adulthood. By the time I came along, she was well into her 70s and seemingly invincible.
Except for failing eyesight, she remained strong in body and mind until almost the day she died at age 92. Because of that, I came to anticipate that age would float over me like a fine gossamer cloak, settling gently on my shoulders, slowly turning my hair to silver and my skin translucent, but remaining only a progression of harmless numbers.
Reality is such a cruel, well, unnice female person.
Oh, it lets you think that you are growing older -- not old -- with a bit of grace. I was just in my 20s when my father's genes started turning my dark brown hair white, but at least it was subtle.
Time passed, and I grew used to aging slowly. One morning I'd wake up with a little twinge in my knee, that would, over a few days, get a little worse. I'd adjust, compensate, learn to live with it.
But lately, age has become sneaky. It doesn't give you any warning. It just creeps up behind you and slaps you silly.
For more than a year, I've had what I've come to call a "wonky eye." So far, three eye doctors and a neurologist can't explain what's going on. I have a distortion in my right eye that makes reading fine print difficult, and it causes some interesting optical illusions.
The eye, doctors say, is perfectly healthy, so it must be in my brain; the brain doctor says no, the brain is fine, too. I've come to accept it, figuring it will eventually go away or get worse, which might then uncover the problem.
But the other day while I was sitting at my desk, a lacy film suddenly spread across the vision of my wonky eye, followed by flashes of light. Uh oh, my retina is detaching, I thought. Calls to Kaiser soon produced an emergency visit, scans and the eventual reassurance that everything would be fine. It was just age.
The doctor patiently explained, using a handy plastic model of an eyeball, that our eyes are filled with vitreous. When we are born, the goo is a nice firm ball.
I already knew where this was going, and I didn't much like it.
As you age, she continued, the ball softens and becomes the consistency of Jell-O. Sometimes, pieces slough off and float around.
It doesn't cause damage, although it sometimes can tear the retina when it pulls away. Fortunately, there was no damage when it happened to me. The gunk would continue to float and probably settle in the "corner" of the eye. Eventually, my brain would learn to ignore it.
The eye issue has become a metaphor for the aging process. My body was firm and compact when it was new, but now parts are sloughing off and floating around. Who knew such a thing could happen? You're going along, trying to deal with life, and bam, your vision is suddenly occluded by bits of Jell-O.
I find some comfort -- not much -- that I'm not alone. A very good friend of my same age had been a dancer in her younger days. She is small and fit, but she took a misstep in an exercise class and broke her ankle in three places, requiring surgery, two plates and 11 pins. Now everyone keeps saying things like "well, in our time of life" and "old bones just can't take stress."
One of my sisters, who is only five years older than I am, ended up in a hospital for three weeks after what we thought was a stomach flu turned into a severe kidney infection.
Her life went from fine to wondering if she could even manage on her own. I spent two weeks helping her once she got out of the hospital. When I went with her to a doctor's appointment, the receptionist ignored her and her walker, and instead asked me questions about her health plan, as if being unsteady on your feet at age 61 meant you were unsteady in your mind.
That cloak of age I was expecting has instead turned into a B-2 stealth fighter, swooping in to drop a bomb and disappear before the smokes clears.
We get it, OK. We're getting older -- not old -- but can't we get a little advance notice before the hammer falls? Isn't there an early warning system that would broadcast an alert?
I thought that 50 was the new 30. Did age take offense at the lack of respect and go ninja on us?
The worst part of all this is that it's turning me into a grumpy old -- make that older -- lady. I fully expect that if something doesn't change, I'll soon be standing on the street corner, shaking my fist at those young whippersnappers and their dagburnit speeding hot rods.
I'm left with no choice but to fight back.
I'm not planning cosmetic surgery or an inappropriate wardrobe change. Instead, the next time age tries to sneak up on me, it's going to have trouble finding me.
They say age is just a state of mind. If so, I'm sending in a change of address.
The next time I end up in an emergency room, it's going to be because I did something childish and irresponsible, not because aging bits of me have gone wobbly.
I say this with confidence, but perhaps I'm misjudging age. After all, youth tried to kill me, too, but I survived. Age may be sneaky, but at least it's a reminder I'm still kicking.

The exhibition features 120 rare objects from the great tomb complex of China's First Emperor (259-210 BCE), including 10 life-size terracotta figures—the maximum number of figures permitted outside China in a single exhibition. Captivating the world since its discovery in 1974, the First Emperor's tomb complex is one of the largest burial sites ever constructed. Estimated at nearly 250,000 square feet—or more than four American football fields—it includes a scale replica of the emperor's imperial palace, complete with stables, offices, an armory and even a zoo. Ancient historians also described "flowing rivers" of mercury, of which trace amounts have recently been confirmed by scientists.

Flip4Mac WMV
41 Opinions
For Snow Leopard users, there is a beta of the new version available.
Unfortunately, Safari 3 cannot launch WMV Player without crashing any more. Flip4Mac to the rescue? -- not quite. There are still numerous .wax and .wvx files that WON'T play with Flip4Mac. Flip4Mac simply states "cannot play this file, please go to our website" (why, I don't know).
Examples are, again, Univ of Edinburgh lectures (eg Gifford Lectures), the .wvx and .wax files WILL NOT RUN in Flip4Mac......only WMV Player can play them. There are many others I've come across too that don't play in Flip4Mac.
Is there a solution?.....YES......use both. Here's how I did it:
1 Quit Safari
2 Download the latest Flip4Mac.dmg file and open it.....DO NOT INSTALL IT.
3 Instead, use Pacifist to selectively install the following components:
* the 3 QT components (export/import/advanced) into /Library/QuickTime
* the 2 internet plugins (wmv.plugin/wmvplugin.webplugin) into /Library/Internet Plug-ins
Prebindings will be auto-updated as they are transferred by pacifist.
4 Ignore the .app and the prefpane - unecessary bloat imo.....all you need is the above plugins/components
5 Download the last available WMV Player (9.0.0) from the ms website and install it.
6 navigate to /Library/Internet Plug-ins and delete the "Windows Media Plugin" file (this causes Safari to launch WMV Player - don't want that now as we have F4M installed).
7 Run Disk Utility and Repair Permissions (just in case, but should be fine anyway).
Now, we have a streamlined install where the internet side is handled by Flip4Mac and the standalone is WMV Player. If you do come across a file that won't play in Flip4Mac, it will inform you after Safari enters the page.
So double click the address bar and copy the address.
Launch WMV player and hit "Apple-U" and paste the URL......file will now play fine in the standalone WMV Player.
So a combination of both will play any .wmv/.wax/.wvx file you come across (and doing the above avoids unnecessary bloat in the form of unneeded prefpanes for instance - and by keeping the two seperate, avoids any software conflicts between the two).
Should the page here list betaversions or the official version from the author's homepage?
yeah, ok :)
People at I Use This:
Why don't you delete this entry of Flip4Mac WMV and add these users to the more than 4000 users of the original post?
There's no need for this second entry.
That one didn't come up in AppFresh, so I thought it might be a slightly different version.
This is already listed in this website, under "Flip4Mac WMV" (with more than 4000 users).
There's no need for this second entry.
I'd happily pay $4 for a gallon of gas if ALL Windows Media Formats would die a horrible and painful public death... Die WMV! DIE!!!! Quicktime, anf Flash are all ANYONE needs.
Until then.. I'll use this helpful lil app.
It's a useful plugin, but i really wish .wmv would die...
Certain wmv files can take an age to open (over a minute). Otherwise seems to work with most stuff.

My name is Connie.� I am southern born and raised and have lived in the Macon area for six years with my husband, three children (who are not so little anymore!), three dogs, a cat, three cows, one of which is like a pet and named Bella and a woodpecker that has moved in and made his life�s mission to destroy our front porch.� My family will tell you that I always have something to say so I thought blogging would be fun, a place where I can ramble about our life in the country, this lovely town that we have fallen in love with and now call home and maybe I will throw in a recipe or two!� I believe that a day without laughter is a day wasted so �sit a spell� with me and hopefully I can put a smile on your face!
There was a question on Facebook the other day asking whether mayonnaise and Miracle Whip were the same. My answer to that question was no, no, no and no! My friend gave me the idea to blog about it since I kind of have a thing for mayonnaise, a specific kind that we have shipped in from South Carolina.
I can probably count on one hand the times I have eaten Miracle Whip in my life. I may have eaten it in certain things and didn't know it but it is not something I eat on purpose. I grew up eating Duke's Mayonnaise which of course is made in the south, originating from Greenville, South Carolina, not far from where I grew up. Eugenia Duke was responsible for the mayonnaise recipe in 1917, which includes more egg yolks than other mayo recipes and no added sugar. They currently produce 240 jars of mayonnaise a minute and have expanded their market to northern Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. In recent years, the company has expanded into Alabama, Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee, as well. I have my parents and friends mail us Duke's periodically throughout the year. I have been seriously thinking of writing a letter to Duke's headquarters to see if they can broaden their market to Missouri! It's really good mayonnaise.
To give you a little history on mayonnaise versus Miracle Whip, mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil, egg, vinegar, condiments and spices. Miracle Whip is very similar made with egg, soybean oil, vinegar, water and is different from mayonnaise because of the sweet spices and the amount of oil. Mayonnaise was invented in 1756 in France by Duke de Richelieu's chief. It was originally called Mahonnaise but according to the Oxford English dictionary the sauce got its present name by accident due to a printing error in an early 1841 cookbook. In 1905, the first ready-made mayonnaise was sold at Richard Hellman's New York deli, made by his wife and sold in wooden boats that were used for weighing butter. In 1912, Richard Hellman started a distributing business, bought a fleet of trucks and started producing "Hellman's Blue Ribbon Mayonnaise." Miracle Whip was developed in 1933 by Kraft as a cheaper alternative to mayonnaise and was introduced as a condiment at the Chicago World's Fair, where the company constructed a complete sterile kitchen enclosed in glass so that visitors to the fair could watch how it was made. The condiment was named from the machine that was made to mass produce it. Today mayonnaise and Miracle Whip are about the same in cost and Miracle Whip is labeled as a "salad dressing" instead of mayonnaise and is much sweeter than mayo.
If you are adventurous and wanted to make your own, Julia Childs is famous for her homemade mayonnaise recipe from her cookbook "Mastering the Art of French Cooking". After reading the recipe I am not sure I could master it! It's very complicated in my opinion with a lot of steps and I am sure that Julia's was as delicious as the Duke's I have eaten since I was able to eat food, but I am thankful that I don't have to make it to be able to enjoy it!
So, I hope I have educated you a little on the differences between mayo and Miracle Whip. It's a bit of useless trivia but you might be able to use it one day in a game of Trivial Pursuit or wow your friends on your newly learned condiment knowledge! Do you have a preference between the two? I guess it is what you grew up eating or which taste you prefer. I personally do not like Miracle Whip as I said earlier. I do cook with mayonnaise and I try to keep a supply of Duke's in my pantry thanks to my family and friends! One of my favorite things in the summer is a tomato sandwich with bread, tomato, Duke's mayo, salt and pepper. Potato salad with Duke's and deviled eggs are also some of my favorites.
If you are ever in the southern states and happen to be in the grocery store, look for Duke's and try a jar, you might find a new favorite! I included a picture above of their label so you can easily find it. I am down to our last jar so I will be making a phone call home soon for a new shipment!

Conway filmmaker Jim Surette documents Greenpeace effort to seize control of Arctic
That's what local filmmaker and cinematographer Jim Surette learned earlier this month when he joined a team of Greenpeace activists skiing from the 89th parallel to the North Pole as part of an effort to get the region declared a global sanctuary. The team of 16 spent five days dragging sleds weighing more than 100 pounds across snow and ice.

I worked in the town of Eagle years ago. At that time it was a cowboy town. I know Roxie Deane, Marilene Miller, Dusty Walls and your police chief, Rodger McLaughlin, worked for me. They are all quality people. Saying disparaging trash about Deane and Miller is insulting. The people I knew had nothing but the best intentions for the town of Eagle and the people I mentioned should be congratulated for their part in the growth of Eagle.

State Jobless Rates Show Broad Improvement
See the full interactive graphic.
Unemployment fell across most of the U.S. in November, though Superstorm Sandy, which hit the Northeast in late October, sliced tens of thousands of jobs in New York and New Jersey, the Labor Department said Friday.
The national unemployment rate fell to 7.7% in November, the lowest since December 2008 — but largely because Americans stopped officially looking for jobs. Some people surveyed said they were unavailable to work while busy cleaning up storm damage, though the Labor Department said Sandy didn't substantively affect the national job-market figures.
Friday's data suggest this year's slow but steady improvement in the jobs market — the economy added 146,000 jobs last month, around its monthly average for the past two years — is becoming broad-based. Forty-five states and the nation's capital saw unemployment rate decreases in November; not one state posted a rise, a contrast with October, when seven states posted unemployment rate rises.
Louisiana, Alabama, Nevada, and Tennessee saw the biggest drops in unemployment. In Alabama, the jobless rate fell to 7.5% from 8.1% a month before. (Last week, Federal Reserve officials said they didn't expect to start unwinding their policy of low interest rates, which are designed to spur spending and investment, until the national unemployment rate falls below 6.5%.)
New York and New Jersey, which were hit hard by Sandy, saw levels of employment fall even as their unemployment rates, which are drawn from different surveys than the employment counts, tumbled. New York's unemployment rate fell to 8.3% from 8.7%, but it lost 33,500 jobs — the biggest month-to-month decrease in payrolls in the country in November. New Jersey's jobless rate fell to 9.6% from 9.7%, but it lost 8,100 jobs. "November data for New Jersey and New York reflect the impact of Hurricane Sandy, as well as underlying economic trends," the Labor Department said.
Nevada's jobless rate fell from 11.5% to 10.8%, but the state still leads the country in unemployment. North Dakota, the beneficiary of an energy boom, has the nation's lowest jobless rate, 3.1%.

It's not about the twerking.
Sure, that sexually provocative dance style is a piece of the puzzle -- as are the risqué TV appearances, daring outfits and all the other headline-generating antics that have helped make Miley Cyrus an equally fascinating and polarizing public figure.
It's also not about the smash singles and hit albums, although, one suspects, those are quite satisfying as well.
No, the No. 1 thing that drives this former child star -- who came to fame as the lead on Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana" and has spent the past few years rushing to distance herself from that character -- is touring, she says.
"I make my albums to be able to travel and to be able to go on the road," the 21-year-old Nashville, Tenn., native says during a recent news teleconference. "That's really kind of what I love to do more than anything."
So it's no surprise that she's absolutely tickled about launching her Bangerz Tour, which touches down Monday at Oracle Arena in Oakland and Tuesday at SAP Center in San Jose.
It's Cyrus' fourth overall headlining trek and her first to cross the U.S. since 2009's Wonder World Tour. This time around, the stakes seem higher than ever. She is no longer trying to establish her own name, having already successfully distanced herself from "Hannah Montana," but rather trying to cement her place alongside Lady Gaga, Beyonce and the other true titans of the pop world.
If she's feeling the pressure, Cyrus doesn't let on during the phone call. She sounded confident and calm, even while speaking a mile a minute. But she's reluctant to provide many details of what to expect from the show.
"I don't want to give any of my surprises away, because my tour has been kept such a secret -- and nothing in my life is ever a secret," Cyrus says before the tour opener in Vancouver, B.C., on Valentine's Day.
She did divulge, however, that the tour will be "fun." That's hardly a shocking revelation, yet it is one that Cyrus underscored by using the "fun" word a half-dozen times in less than two minutes during the interview. Fun, you see, is Cyrus' specialty.
"My goal was just to keep (the show) really fun," she says, even if this brand of fun continues to generate a staggering amount of headlines and tabloid buzz. "That's what I think I'm kind of representing more than anything in the past year -- fun and (being) carefree -- and that's what the show represents."
The curiosity factor is certainly huge for this tour. People are dying to see how -- or if -- Cyrus will try to top her 2013 exploits, which included lots of racy photos and videos and, of course, her infamous performance with Robin Thicke at the MTV Video Music Awards. Then, of course, there is the matter of the wardrobe -- which is always a hot topic when it comes to Cyrus. Again, the singer is tight-lipped on the subject.
"I hate giving too much stuff away, because I feel like clothes for me -- or lack thereof -- say a lot," she says.
Early reports of the tour suggest that Cyrus, as she would put it, "can't be tamed." The Huffington Post reported Wednesday that tour organizers have been inundated with angry calls and emails from parents over the show's racy content, including a simulated oral sex scene and other suggestive stage maneuvers.
Cyrus says the set list will focus on the "Bangerz" album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 back in October and thus far has delivered three blockbuster singles, "Wrecking Ball," "We Can't Stop" and "Adore You."
Expect plenty of high-energy dance-pop numbers, but also a share of slower tunes as well. She will be doing an acoustic set, which will mix "Bangerz" cuts and cover songs. One can only hope that will include her stunning version of Bob Dylan's "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go," which showcases Cyrus' voice arguably better than anything else she's ever recorded.
"My set is about 90 minutes," she says. "But my acoustic set that I'm doing can go on for as long as I want -- so it really kind of depends on the city and how involved (the audience is in the acoustic set)."
Cyrus also wants to recognize and honor each particular city that she plays. That means not mistaking St. Paul for St. Louis, Miami for Milwaukee. (Let's hope that she sticks to that plan and doesn't yell out "Hello, San Francisco!" as she performs in San Jose or Oakland.) It's a strategy for making the locals feel special, which she learned a long time ago from one particular bald prog-rock icon.
"My first concert that I went to go to see, Phil Collins, had on a shirt that said Nashville on it," she says. "I was so stoked, because I was from Nashville. So he was in Nashville wearing that shirt. I always remembered that."
Cyrus also plans to mix it up in concert, in a fashion that is rare among today's pop stars, who tend to stick to a tight script onstage.
"Every show is going to be different," she says. "I don't want to rehearse too much when it comes to what we are going to do onstage, because I think that kind of takes all the fun out of it."

Wednesday evening, Occupy Oakland protesters returned to Frank Ogawa Plaza for a relatively peaceful rally and march. Most of the anticipated action was in San Francisco, where a clash with police never materialized.
On Thursday morning, two tents were pitched on the square in from of City Hall at 14th Street and Broadway
9:20 a.m.: Two tents and fence `sculpture' on Oakland plaza
Two tents remain on the plaza after the previous night's rally. About a dozen people camped overnight, it appears without city intervention.
What's really attracting attention is a stack of cyclone fence, the remnants of a barrier that had been erected around the lawn area but was torn down by protesters. The stack of fencing resembles a sculpture and many people are walking up to take pictures of it. A police officer just went over to snap a shot as well.
The plaza is open, and one can wander around. Grass looks like a quilt of dead spots, yellow rectangles from where Occupy tents were located.
One police car is parked along the street and an officer was citing someone for being illegally parked.
Thursday, 9 a.m.: Occupy SF returns to business as usual, but still on alert
A man had dropped by around 7:30 a.m. with coffee and doughnuts, as often happens in the morning. Nic Freedman was facilitating the trickle of protesters stopping by to get caffeinated.
Freedman has been sleeping at the Occupy SF camp for about a month. He hesitated to call the stalled police action a victory for the protesters.
"Other people are calling it a victory. I think that a victory would require making progress. But last night was very important because it showed the world that we have hundreds of people willing to come out and risk arrest to show the police that this camp represents us"
The camp had expected police in riot gear to surround them.
"I think the amount of people that were here made the police think they would get a lot of resistance," said Freedman, who has lived in the city for five months and is from Washington State.
"I know the police will be back. We've won the battle. The war is not over. The powers that be see us as a threat, and we are."
No one thought it would get crazy if the cops showed up, he said.
"San Francisco is not Oakland. We were all ready for gas," he said, pulling out a bandanna and earplugs from his jean pockets, "but we didn't really expect it to go down like it did over there."
"Here, the police would push at us and we would be a wall, but in Oakland the police would push and the protesters would push back. We're drawing from different crowds here. The people who are out of towners here are drawn by the legacy of peace and love. People in Oakland are more prepared for things to get sticky.
12:25 a.m.: Time to head home
The somewhat smaller crowd returned to 14th & Broadway/Frank Ogawa Plaza, with most just quietly milling around. The crowd then started to dissipate. Among those on hand late was MC Hammer, who had a message for the masses on Twitter, "We're here 14th & Broadway ... peacefully assembled."
11:18 p.m.: Protesters taunt BART
The crowd moved past police at 14th Street and Broadway without incident, chanting "Our Streets!" as they headed toward 15th. But once they reached 19th, some protesters tried to enter the 19th Street BART station, chanting "Don't Shoot Me!" "Don't Shoot Me!"
11:11 p.m.: Crowd taunting riot police
The crowd is back on Broadway headed toward Frank H. Ogawa Plaza. A large contingent of riot police are lined up at 12th Street. The crowd is moving toward the police, and some are taunting the officers.
11:03 p.m.: More chants
Some protesters are chanting "Bay Bridge," as the crowd moved up Clay Street toward the federal building. Then the protesters turned from Clay onto 9th in what seemed to be an attempt to outflank police. They appear headed back to Ogawa Plaza. There is no property damage along the route.
10:55 p.m.: Protesters shout "freedom for all"
Protesters stop at North County Jail, shouting "freedom for all," and are now heading toward the federal building. BART has just announced that trains will not stop at the Embarcadero Station and that 12th Street station is open, but the Ogawa Plaza entrance is closed.
10:48 p.m. :Protesters chant "Oscar Grant!" "Oscar Grant!"
Some protesters are trying to climb the scaffolding near the Marriott on 10th Street and Broadway. Some protesters began changing, "Oscar Grant!" "Oscar Grant!" No announcement yet from BART about what it plans to do with its train service. The protesters have reached Seventh and Washington near the police station. Several dozen officers in riot gear have come out the front door.
10:45 p.m. : Crowd marching down Broadway
The crowd of protesters is moving rapidly down Broadway on their way to the Oakland police station. A line of motorcycle officers is nearby. The crowd has now stopped at 10th Street and appear to be trying to figure out what to do next. Both anarchist and American flags can be seen throughout the crowd.
10:30 p.m.: Protesters blocked from getting into BART station
A crowd of protesters has taken over the intersection of 14th and Broadway, upset that they can't get into the 12th Street BART station. Many were trying to get to San Francisco to support colleagues at Occupy San Francisco. So far, thought, the crowd is peaceful.
10:20 p.m.: Protesters move toward BART station
A group of protesters, many carrying black anarchist flags, are moving toward the BART station, on their way to join colleagues at Occupy San Francisco in Justin Herman Plaza.
10:10 p.m.: Plans for a strike supported by protesters
A vote among protesters to try to organize a general strike of the city next Wednesday received 96.9 percent approval, a protest leader announced on a microphone in the amphitheater at Frank H. Ogawa Plaza. People chanted "Strike! Strike! Strike!" before beginning to disperse, some of them dancing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" that was playing on the amplifier. Another person smoking a joint walked past shouting "Occupy Tokeland."
9:53 p.m.: Mayor, police chief willing to meet with protesters:
Oakland Mayor Jean Quan told a media gathering she and Interim Police Chief Howard Jordan are willing to meet with protesters but must first figure out who the leaders of the protests are. She also confirmed six to seven injuries to protesters on Tuesday night. Police are on standby. The park is slated to close at 10 p.m., but Quan declined to say if the group would have to leave. She said she is considering plans on a day-to-day basis. She said police were not on the scene Wednesday, because the dynamics of the gathering were different.
9:25 p.m.: Protesters calling for a strike next week
An estimated 2,000 protesters are on hand, and they're discussing the mechanics for a strike on the city next Wednesday. Protest leaders are trying to galvanize unions, students and businesses into taking part. Ideally, protesters want students to skip school, businesses to shut down and hundreds of thousands of citizens to mobilize at the City Center.
8:45 p.m.: Police starting to organize
Police appear to be staging together several blocks away from the protesters. They're using a garage at the Clorox Building at 1221 Broadway. Helicopters continue to circle overhead. Word is circulating through the crowd that some police action may occur at some point, perhaps at 10 p.m. when Frank H. Ogawa Plaza closes. Police have taken no action so far. The first tent has gone up at the plaza, erected by a protester who is using a black bandanna as a flag.
7:54 p.m.: A strike?
Protesters are calling for a general strike in the city of Oakland on Thursday and are telling people to gather at 5 p.m. in Frank H. Ogawa Plaza. They say their hope is to shut down the city. They're telling businesses to close their shops and will be going into businesses to promote the idea. Protesters say they are trying to mobilize unions and turn this into a strike movement.
7:37 p.m.: Protesters chanting "Our Park":
Still no police. The bulk of the crowd, estimated to be 1,000 protesters, are still on the lawn and chanting "Our Park."
7:20 p.m.: Fence is down; OccupySF campers requesting support
Protesters ripped down the fence around the lawn at Frank H. Ogawa Plaza. Five helicopters also have been hovering above the Oakland skyline. Occupy Oakland organizers say they are getting reports that San Francisco police have confirmed they will raid Occupy San Francisco tonight and San Francisco campers are requesting nonviolent support
6:30 p.m.: Protesters arguing, police still absent
Protesters continue to argue back and forth, and two bandana-masked protesters jumped a blocked-off fence and ran across the plaza. A few protesters have pushed open a section of gate. The fence was pushed away and put back in place as arguments continue. Still no police present.
6:26 p.m.: Crowd is growing near the Frank H. Ogawa Plaza
Observers say the crowd near the amphitheatre in Frank H. Ogawa Plaza has grown to at least 1,000 people, and a person addressing the crowd told protesters that the Occupy Wall Street movement is donating $25,000 to the Occupy Oakland movement.
6:16 p.m.: Protesters starting to cause commotion
A few protesters are kicking and shoving at the fence around Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, and other protesters are scuffling with them, trying to block them and calm them down. No police are present
5:45 p.m.: Demonstrators starting to gather again, people buying gas masks
Demonstrators are slowly gathering again at Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, and a man with a bullhorn is rehashing their rallying points as they move closer to the 6 p.m. scheduled rally. Once again, they are protesting the disparity in the sharing of American wealth. Also, about 15 people were seen in a military surplus store buying gas masks in preparation for Wednesday evening's rally.
5:39 p.m. ACLU, National Lawyers' Guild want investigation into use of force
The American Civil Liberties Union and National Lawyers' Guild jointly sent a public records request to the Oakland Police Department seeing an immediate release about their use of force during demonstrations Tuesday. The ACLU and NLG are calling for an end to excessive police force and want a full investigation.
5:11 p.m. Tents removed, but grass is ruined
The grass is getting ugly at Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, but some of the tents have been removed. The lawn is now a mix of yellow and brown and is being heavily trodden upon. Hay and mud are also strewed on what once was green lawn. Also, overturned tents from the encampment, garbage and personal belongings have been taken to storage in a city warehouse.
5:08 p.m. Protesters returning after barriers taken down
Police are removing portable metal barriers from around part of Frank Ogawa Plaza, but about 200 protesters returned quickly. They pumped fists in the air and are vowing to occupy the plaza again.

yup, it's great. easy to use and always get the result I want. Looking forward to 5.
Excellent support!
Very good software; intuitive and adaptable. Also has an excellent forum,
I used to use Freeway 3 and it did the job well but Freeway 4 is simply great! Way ahead of the template-driven site builders but just as easy to use.
Simply the best and easiest way for non-coders to design and upload a website (but you have to be on a Mac). If you know Quark or InDesign you can get a website up and running in a day, easy. And yet, it's powerful enough for professional Web designers to go nuts with all the bells and whistles they can conjure. I echo the comment above about support. Softpress gives you fast, personal responses and the user forums are absolutely the best.
Used the software for nearly 5 years. It's always done exactly what is said on the box, and a lot more.
Great support and community.

Matriculation Services for Faculty and Staff
The Office of Matriculation and Assessment coordinates the process for the review and approval of prerequisites, corequisites, and advisories, and limitations on enrollment. It maintains the Prerequisite Review Schedule for CCSF credit programs and provides technical assistance to those responsible for writing of review documentation and those charged with scrutinizing completed documentation. It facilitates the flow of review documentation between the instructional departments and the Curriculum Committee. The Office of Matriculation and Assessment, in consultation with department chairs and coordination with the Office of Admissions and Records, facilitates the enforcement of pre/corequisites either at the point of registration (through Banner) or in the classroom.
California Community College Matriculation regulations in Title 5 require colleges to establish necessary and appropriate course and program prerequisites, corequisites, advisories, and limitiations on enrollment to enhance a student's likelihood of success. They also require that colleges adopt a process for reviewing these requisites to assure that they are valid (e.g. not keeping potentially successful students out of courses and programs). Requisites are to be reviewed and justified at their inception and every six years thereafter. The department in which the target course is offered is responsible for conducting the review and producing the written justification.

Tuesday November 27, 2012
Thomson, GA--When you make it to the state quarterfinals, it's tough enough just getting past your next opponent. Now imagine doing it with your starting quarterback on the sideline. Sounds unlikely, but that's just what's happening over at Thomson.
The Bulldogs hit the road to Cartersville this friday with Quay Cummings under center. The junior stepped in after starter Chris Tutt went down in week one of the playoffs. Tutt's high ankle sprain could've been a big blow, but the Bulldogs have barely missed a beat.
"It's been a good challenge because lately I've been practicing at quarterback and knowing what to do. When Chris (Tutt) went down, I just got in there and knew what I had to do to help the team."
"Chris is coming along well. He's still day-to-day. Quay's done a great job stepping in at quarterback for us. You're going to have your bumps and bruises and scratches and scrapes. We're in good shape, and we're just going to have to continue to have a great week of practice and play our very best Friday night."
It's a battle of unbeatens for the Bulldogs at Cartersville. Don't expect them to go away from their dominant running back duo of Chris Jordan and Torrie Battle.

Hell's Kitchen is back with more meltdowns, more cursing and... puppets?! When Fox's culinary competition show kicks off its 11th season with a two-hour episode on Tuesday at 8/7c, Chef Gordon Ramsay has fashioned an all-new form of torture for the 20 contestants.

Hell's Kitchen Diner's Confessional: I didn't go hungry! Over the course of the competition, the chefs will take part in a grueling obstacle course, tackle farm animals (both live and butchered) and prepare meals for world-renowned athletes.
