SNOWMASS VILLAGE - There was a time when John Denver, Jimmy Buffett, members of the Eagles and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band all gathered right here in Snowmass to perform for thousands of people - and all for a good cause.
The Deaf Camp Picnic, which Denver helped put on the map, ended after the popular singer's death in 1997. Now, after a 15-year hiatus, the event that supports the work of the Aspen Camp for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing is coming back.
"It was a great, big community event," said Mike Adler, a camp executive committee member. "There's been a lull. We're going to pick it up where it left off."
The picnic started in the 1970s, in large part because longtime resident Twirp Anderson got Denver to lead the first one. At first the picnic was held on the Aspen Camp grounds in Old Snowmass, but eventually it moved to Campground at Snowmass ski area, where there was more room for the thousands of people who showed up every year.
"The whole idea was to kind of bring back that sense of the music, the history of the music in the valley, and how everyone came together for the cause," said Mack Bailey, who is booking the music for this summer's event.
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band will return to headline the picnic. There will be two days of the picnic, starting with a free performance of cover songs by Bailey and former Denver bandmates Chris Nole and Pete Huttlinger, who play together in the John Denver Tribute Band, on July 19 in Base Village. Rich Ganson will also perform some songs for kids on July 19.
The ticketed event on July 20 starts in the early afternoon with Bobby Mason and Starwood, followed by Anderson and his band, Timbermill. Bailey, Nole and Huttlinger will play a different set, with Billy Dean and Nitty Gritty after. The musicians will all join together to close out the night with a tribute to Denver.
"It's an opportunity to raise money for the camp, raise awareness and everyone just have an incredible, fun, positive day," Bailey said.
Some young Aspen Camp attendees will join the festivities in the early part of the day. All proceeds of the picnic benefit the camp, which has been providing services to the deaf and hard of hearing since 1967. Funds raised will not only help camp operations but also provide scholarships and aid to many participants. About two-thirds of campers ask for full scholarships to cover their tuition.
"John Denver's music and the Deaf Camp Picnic is what kept the camp going for all those years," said Executive Director Lesa Thomas.
Adler said he hopes the return of the event will raise awareness and support of the Aspen Camp once more.
"The deaf camp was always a community project," he said.

Roosters thrown from car in chase
Two arrested as police recover stolen birds
Published: Tuesday, July 23, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 22, 2013 at 11:05 p.m.
Several roosters thrown from a vehicle during a police pursuit were killed on Interstate 20/59 early Monday morning.
Two Houma, La. men led law enforcement officers on a chase that started near the Skyland Boulevard exit of the interstate and ended at T.Y. Rogers Jr. Avenue and 22nd Street, said Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. Andy Norris.
Authorities recovered 54 roosters from a sport utility vehicle and a box on the side of the interstate. The 38 surviving roosters were taken to Metro Animal Shelter, Norris said.
The roosters resemble the kind used for cockfighting, he said, but there is no evidence fighting had occurred, he said.
Cockfighting has been illegal in Alabama since 1896, but it is not illegal to raise, train or trade roosters that could be used to fight.
The driver of the SUV refused to stop for a deputy at a red light on Skyland Boulevard around 1 a.m. Monday. He led officers to the interstate, got off at Exit 68 and drove to a street near the Tuscaloosa County Jail where the vehicle was abandoned.
Deputies and Tuscaloosa Police officers set up a perimeter and captured the suspects shortly after that, Norris said. They determined that the roosters were stolen in Tuscaloosa County. The birds' owner was notified and asked to get the roosters from the animal shelter.
Charged with first-degree theft were Brandon Michael LeBouef, 22, of Houma, La., and Santos Dardar, 29. Dardar also was charged with reckless driving and attempting to elude police. He was ticketed for littering, running a red light and improper lane usage. Dardar's bail was set at $39,000. LeBouef's bail was set at $30,000. Both men remained in the Tuscaloosa County Jail Monday night.

BERKELEY -- The RPI computer gave Cal's basketball team a nice digital bump after its 77-69 upset of then No. 7 Arizona, elevating the Bears from No. 75 to 59 nationally. "I don't understand all that," said Cal's Allen Crabbe, the Pac-12 scoring leader.
By any measure, the Bears (14-9, 6-5 Pac-12) have a steep climb ahead to reach the NCAA tournament. The work starts Thursday at 6 p.m. with a home game against UCLA (18-6, 8-3), which began the week tied for first in the Pac-12.
"We know what we have to do," point guard Justin Cobbs said. "We go 5-0 at home and see what we can do on the road. We're pretty confident we can get two on the road: 7-0 and we're in."
Perhaps so. And although the Bears have lost four times at Haas Pavilion this season, they do have a favorable schedule to close the regular season, with five home dates and a trip to Oregon next week.
The real question is, short of winning the Pac-12 tournament and the league's automatic berth, what must Cal do to reach the NCAAs for the fourth time in five seasons under coach Mike Montgomery?
At this point, Cal is on the outside of any serious NCAA tournament conversation.
The Bears began the week in a four-way tangle for fifth place in the Pac-12, two games back of the leaders. Picked to finish third in the Pac-12 before the season, they are 8-9 since a 6-0 start. Until two weeks ago, they were 0-9 against teams in the top 100 of the RPI computer, which aids the NCAA selection committee in its evaluation of teams.
Hardly the stuff of an NCAA tournament resume.
The past two weeks were a step forward. Before winning at Arizona for just the second time in 18 years, the Bears knocked off Oregon, which arrived in the Bay Area alone atop the league standings.
"We have to defend to be successful," said Montgomery, whose team held Oregon to 21 points below its scoring average at the time, then limited Arizona to 39-percent shooting.
It helped significantly that Crabbe delivered probably the best all-around performance of his career, scoring 31 points on 12 of 15 shooting in a burst of assertiveness.
Asked how he can bring a similar mindset to every game, Crabbe said, "It's all up to me. Nobody's going to hold me back except myself."
UCLA coach Ben Howland, who has bemoaned for several years failing to successfully recruit Crabbe from his Los Angeles roots, called the 6-foot-6 Cal junior "a special player."
"Some of his shots the other night were just unbelievable," Howland said. "He has such great length, and he's really good at cutting without the basketball, maybe the best player in our conference at reading screens."
Things aren't perfect at UCLA, where famed alum and TV analyst Bill Walton last week was critical of home attendance at renovated Pauley Pavilion, placing the blame on Howland's coaching style and suggesting a change is needed. Walton is working the Cal-UCLA game for ESPN2.
Howland tried shrugging off the criticism this week. "He's an analyst and that's his job. It's his right to be critical and I understand that," Howland said of the former three-time collegiate player of the year. "It's just part of our business, especially in a high-profile position like being the coach at UCLA."
Montgomery echoed Howland's point that Walton's frame of reference is skewed, having gone 60-0 as a sophomore and junior at UCLA under John Wooden in the early 1970s.
"I like Bill. Bill's a good friend," Montgomery said. "But he's tough on people. I don't know that he thinks before he speaks."

Former GM Exec Recalls His Days Turning Around The Auto Maker In New Book
Former General Motors Co. Chief Executive Ed Whitacre is out on the circuit promoting his new book "American Turnaround – Reinventing AT&T and GM and the Way We Do Business In The USA." Mr. Whitacre stepped into the automotive spotlight when he took over the helm of GM for 10 months after the company's 2009 bankruptcy.
In a recent interview, Whitacre said he believes GM is now more competitive than ever, suggests a successor for current CEO Dan Akerson should come from within, still thinks North American President Mark Reuss is CEO material and backs GM's decision to keep its Opel unit despite its ongoing losses.
"They are focused on building great products and they are more focused on profitability than they ever have been," Mr. Whitacre said when asked about GM's future.
Mr. Whitacre stepped in when GM was in chaos. The company had filed for bankruptcy after running out of cash, taken a loan from the federal government and was attempting to get back on its feet. In his book, Mr. Whitacre recalls how the auto maker's management was a mess.
Soon after taking the job and arriving in Detroit, he met with then CEO Fritz Henderson and asked to see the organizational chart diagramming who reports to who.
"But Fritz didn't have an org chart," Mr. Whitacre wrote. "He said GM had done away with them to help save money, no doubt. Fritz said he was tracking everything in his head. This was the first red flag."
Mr. Henderson later left the company and was eventually replaced as CEO by Dan Akerson.
"He has done a good job," Mr. Whitacre said of Mr. Akerson in the interview. "He has stayed the course and put the right emphasis on changing the company. I think he has been good for the work force and the finances are much better."
Mr. Whitacre said he still backs Mr. Reuss as a potential successor to Mr. Akerson. In fact, he thought Mr. Reuss should have been named CEO when he left the company. But his lack of experience in the CEO chair caused the board to back Mr. Akerson after Mr. Akerson voted to take the job.
"It would have been a big step for Mark no questions," Mr. Whitacre wrote. "But it was my personal assessment that he could do it. I also thought it would be a good signal to the people of GM. Mark was known as a car guy and GM was a car company – there were a lot of car nuts throughout the organization and Mark could talk their language. So he was credible in a way that a non-car-guy never can be…For all those reason, I thought it was the best thing for GM long term. But it was ultimately the board's decision."
Mr. Whitacre stood behind his comments in the book although there may now be other internal candidates who may have risen to the level of CEO candidate since he left the company.
"I think you have to be a good leader, has fire in the belly and dedicated to GM," Mr. Whitacre said. "Those are the qualities you need for taking over this job. I am still a fan (of Mr. Reuss).
Mr. Whitacre said he still backs the board decision to stick with keeping money-losing Opel although the unit isn't expected to breakeven until mid-decade. GM will provide a snapshot on Opel's financial situation when it releases fourth quarter earnings on Feb. 14.
"When I first got there, there was a lot of talk in the summer of 2009 about getting rid of Opel and the European operations but as you know we ultimately made the decision to keep it," Mr. Whitacre said. "I do think it was a good decision. It is a great asset and it has potential although it's not where it needs to be right now. In my own opinion, it can be fixed."
Mr. Whitacre said he still has mixed emotions about leaving when he did but the commuting and the schedule was too much. He said he still an advocate of GM and will every now and then help in a sale by putting potential customers in touch with some GM folks to purchase a vehicle.
"It's a satisfying to see how the company is turnaround," Mr. Whitacre said. He will return to Detroit on Feb. 18 for a book signing at the Renaissance Center which houses GM's headquarters.
Other tidbits from the book:
* "What I didn't want was for the (government) to become a permanent fixture at GM, because that was going to handicap the company, big time, over the long term. Government programs, once they're established, have a way of taking root, and those roots tend to get longer with time."
* "Everybody was relocating to Warren, Mich. out by the engineering center. Once the move was done, GM planned to put the RenCen up for sale or lease. And here's the craziest part: The CEO and a couple of others weren't moving with the others. We were supposed to stay behind at the RenCen all by ourselves, in this big, vacant office building… The whole thing was nuts. A move like that would have killed what little momentum we managed to build up – that would have disappeared over night. Not to mention the cost – $100 million. I immediately assessed the situation and came to the this conclusion: We're not moving."
* "Sometimes I'd drive around GM facilities – the company has sprawling campuses all over the place – and stop at buildings. This used to drive GM security crazy – the CEO, I was told, never went anywhere without and escort. I basically said thanks but no thanks because I wanted people to be at ease when I was around."
* "I don't know the first thing about design: I'll be the first to admit that. But as a longtime truck guy, I do have some opinions. And here' my biggest beef with GM truck designs: not enough backseat leg room for passengers… So that's what I told the truck designers." (Two weeks later the truck engineers had added more leg room)
*"At GM historically, meetings invariably included a PowerPoint presentation accompanied by a thick, neatly bound booklet…Here's my bottom line on PowerPoints, You're in charge. You're responsible. You have decision-making authority. Tell me what you want to do and I'll tell you what I think. But don't sit there and waste our time by clicking through all these slides…I walked out of a few meetings at GM over this."

CORPUS CHRISTI – Following a third-place finish this weekend at the Grass Routes Grand Prix, the women's cross country team moved up two spots to fifth in the NCAA South Central Regional poll. The men's team maintained its spot in sixth place and second in the Southland behind Lamar, who took the men's title in Austin this weekend.
"The improvement in the women's rankings is a testament to the good racing that they have been doing all season," head coach Shawn Flanagan said. "The same goes for the men. We now need to train hard for the next four weeks, so that we can continue to improve as we enter the championship portion of the season."
The women's team placed third this weekend, behind No. 14-nationally ranked Texas and No. 25-nationally ranked Texas Tech. The squad currently sits three spots behind the Longhorns in the regional poll. The Islanders hold the top spot in the Southland in the South Central poll and are ahead of Big 12 opponents Baylor (6) and Texas A&M (7). Southland foes Lamar and UTSA each moved up in the regional poll. Lamar finished two spots behind the Islanders at the Grass Routes Grand Prix and moved up four spots to the eighth slot. UTSA sits one place back in ninth place.
The men's team stayed strong, holding the sixth spot in the South Central Regional poll and sit in second place in the Southland. The Islanders are behind No. 4-ranked Lamar, who clinched their third straight meet at the Grass Routes Grand Prix. The men's squad jumped in front of UTSA, who dropped two spots to the seventh slot. The Islanders are three spots behind No. 24-nationally ranked Texas (3), who the Islanders finished just behind this weekend.
The Islanders will travel to Fayetteville, Ark., to compete in the Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival on Sat., Oct. 15, at 9:30 a.m.

1) It was composed in 1741 by George Frideric Handel.
2) Handel tweaked his "Messiah" many times through the years, and different versions get performed; the cognoscenti like to keep track. There's the 1741 version from Handel's autograph score; there's the 1742 version from the oratorio's Dublin premiere; there's the 1743 version from its London premiere. And so on.
3) The oratorio follows the liturgical story line: the coming of Christ, the resurrection, the ascension, the glorification.
4) Its most famous passage is the "Hallelujah" chorus. If you don't already know that ...
5) Less famous is "the trumpet shall sound," oozing mystery, as the specter of Judgment Day is evoked.

Dark Island Beer Gets Zing From a Touch of Wheat
Published: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 4:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 4:24 p.m.
Orkney Brewery
Dark Island
The Orkney Islands, an archipelago in northern Scotland, is home to Dark Island, a boldly flavored brew similar in taste to a light porter, but slightly more complex.
As the brand implies, Dark Island is all about the roast, in this case chocolate and crystal malts with a touch of wheat for added zing.
Expect flavors of chicory, licorice and burnt toast along with hints of dark fruit and vanilla.
The beer, made by the Orkney Brewery, is moderately bitter with a nice herbal, dry finish, not unlike a finely crafted birch beer without the sugar. At 4.6 percent alcohol by volume it's perfectly sessionable for this time of year.

I agree Levy needs to rediscover his cheque book asap!
Thats said on another day, Defoe and Dempsey could had bagged, both had great chances and had it not been for De Gea making some superb saves they would have.

A striker very much needed we were showing a marked improvement with 4-4-2, need someone up front with Defoe.
Saying that teams coming to WHL lately seem to think its a bus park, hard to get the ball through 22 legs.
like the confidence we seem to have in our play now just need to beat bottom half teams.
SO cheque book out Levy get a striker in cos if Defoe gets injured we will be in s**t

Digital presentation - 25th Anniversary Digital Restoration!
Though Willow was one of director Ron Howard's few box-office disappointments, it definitely deserves a second look. At once an epic celebration and a gentle spoof of the sword-and-sorcery genre, the film concerns the efforts by little person Willow Ufgood (Warwick Davis) to protect a sacred infant from the machinations of a wicked queen (Jean Marsh). One source book has assessed the picture as a combination ofThe Ten Commandments and Snow White. This is true enough, except that neither one of those properties offered such offbeat casting choices as Billy Barty and Jean Marsh. Executive producer George Lucas has (through the conduit of screenwriter Bob Dolman) added elements of his own Star Wars saga to the stew.

I use this for all my word processing. I hated word for the mac and it only squeeked by for me on the PC. It does excellent layout and has many features without forcing them onto you. I would agree that tables sometimes run extraordinarily slow on my powerbook G4. I have to circumvent that by copying slow tables into a new pages doc and that usually fixes them. I am very pleased with this program overall.
It sometimes crashes on me. But I personally favor it over the MS products since it does exactly what I want and I have fewer of the 'WTF are you doing?' -experiences.
It's a weird hybrid of page layout and word processing. I use it more to do paghe layout - letters, my CV and so on.
I bought it when it was announced but have never used it.
It's not that bad, but sometimes It sucks, especially when working with tables.
Use it for all my word processing now

As South Korea prepares for the second Nuclear Security Summit, scheduled to take place in Seoul next March, the momentum for collective international action on nuclear terrorism must be sustained. In the months before the 2012 talks, states will have to work together to retain focus on the summit's ultimate goal -- securing vulnerable nuclear material worldwide -- or else risk taking a step backward in the fight against the menace of nuclear terrorism.
Protect the gains made so far. The April 2010 Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, DC, created a tremendous opportunity to reshape global perspectives on nuclear terrorism. For the first time, the idea of fighting nuclear terrorism emerged on the collective international agenda, rather than on the discrete agendas of individual nations. Before the 2010 summit, the topic of nuclear terrorism had been confined, politically, to national governments and, intellectually, to a few Western think tanks, university departments, and nongovernmental organizations. In organizations outside the West, nuclear terrorism was even considered a marginal or remote issue -- despite the growing threat of terrorist networks with international reach, such as the Taliban or Al Qaeda.
The 2010 summit in Washington seemed to change that attitude. Among other steps taken at the meeting, four states -- India, China, Japan, and Italy -- announced plans to establish nuclear security centers to promote global nuclear security; today, each state has begun to operate these centers. In India, for example, the objective of the new School of Nuclear Security Studies at the Global Centre for Nuclear Energy Partnership is to introduce security forces from around the world to physical-protection systems and response procedures using advanced technologies, such as sensors and seismic monitoring; the school offers courses on physical security, personnel reliability, materials control, and accounting. India also signed a memorandum of understanding with Japan and the United States agreeing to share best practices for the security of nuclear material and facilities; These countries will each work to develop nuclear security training curricula and programs for the global nuclear industry, nuclear scientists, and the security forces protecting nuclear facilities.
Signs of trouble? Despite the many positive developments made as a result of the April 2010 summit, states' dedication to collaborative international action on nuclear security is anything but certain. In fact, within months of the summit, the apparent trend toward collective action seemed to be in danger. When representatives from the 47 states that participated in the first Nuclear Security Summit gathered in Buenos Aires in November 2010 to review the national commitments made in April, the meeting seemed to lose sight of the overarching goal, devolving into disagreements. The spirit of consensus-building that had prevailed in April gave way to confrontation, and the meeting of nuclear security "sherpas" (diplomats who represent their governments at conferences) was unsuccessful. Partly responsible for this were the long-standing differences in interests between the Non-Aligned Movement and Western states; this fracture, which commonly emerges at international negotiations, led to the creation of factions that pushed their own agendas at the Buenos Aires meeting.
For example, one of the contentious proposals, championed by Australia and other countries, was the establishment of a monitoring system -- based on the work plan and communiqué agreed to at the Washington summit -- that would evaluate the progress states have made in implementing their agreed-upon commitments. Several states opposed the idea, while Jordan proposed a different set of monitoring criteria altogether.
Stay focused on international collaboration. The proposed monitoring system, though in line with the Washington summit's main principle of states agreeing to national implementation of nuclear security mechanisms on a voluntary basis, appeared to some nations to challenge their sovereignty. In Buenos Aires, many representatives asked where national jurisdiction would end and international jurisdiction would begin. For some states, this brought to light a serious concern that could undermine the success of future summits if it remains unaddressed: that the Nuclear Security Summit was making an unwelcome transition toward law enforcement.
Furthermore, some of the proposals made at the Buenos Aires meeting of sherpas seemed to marginalize the importance of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its role in global nuclear security. In fact, the centrality of the IAEA to future joint efforts to strengthen nuclear security had been agreed on, even before the April 2010 summit. Hopefully, in the future, IAEA's centrality will remain undisturbed.
At least two more sherpa meetings are planned to take place before the 2012 Seoul summit. These meetings must harness the goodwill generated by the Washington summit and soothe the concerns that emerged in Buenos Aires. The sherpa meetings (and the Seoul summit itself) need to work to clarify the international collaborative element and to reinforce the goal of securing vulnerable nuclear materials. The meetings should focus on nuclear security in the wake of Fukushima. The synergy of safety and security must be included in the 2012 agenda.
Now that the fight against nuclear terrorism has gained a spot on the collective international agenda, we must work to keep it there. We cannot afford to allow divisive issues to dilute the main principles of the summit process. A repetition of the failed Buenos Aires meeting would slow the passage of an effective nuclear security and counterterrorism regime that the world badly needs. The Seoul Nuclear Security Summit will provide the chance for countries to band together to fight nuclear terrorism. In the final analysis, this is an opportunity that cannot be squandered.

Hi - just downloaded qcad 3 - rc1 - for Linux.
1) When I want to select multiple lines - holding ctrl and clicking on the second (and third etc.) does not add them to the selection as it did with qcad2
2) When in printing preview mode - ctrl+p doesn't work. (I have to select it under file to print).
3) The icons for lines etc. are absurdly huge - but that maybe just me - on a 1920x1080 resolution on a 17" screen.
p.s. would you prefer me to open bugs - or is this feedback method fine?

Thank you

Today is my last day at Sun. This has been a tremendous experience, and you, the readers of my blog, have helped make it so. I plan to follow the OpenJDK compiler, Kitchen Sink Language, and OpenJFX projects, but I have a full time job, so my contributions will be small.
I still have a lot to say about Java technology, and I hope I will be able to say a bit about my next project. I invite you to follow me to my new place on the web.

The YMCA of Silicon Valley's announcement last month that it will shutter the Page Mill YMCA in Palo Alto later this year has several members up in arms and fighting back.
One of those members, Ken Horowitz, said news of the closure was a bolt from the blue.
"I think the anger we're feeling is that we were never involved in this decision," he said. "We just got a letter in the mail: 'We're closing. Period.' "
The wording of the announcement has also led some members to speculate that the YMCA of Silicon Valley doesn't value the "active older adults" who frequent the Page Mill YMCA.
"We realized that we could better serve our members by focusing on facilities that can support a wide range of programming for all ages," YMCA of Silicon Valley Chief Operating Officer Elizabeth Jordan said in a June 24 news release announcing the closure.
According to the YMCA of Silicon Valley, nearly a quarter of Page Mill YMCA members are 65 or older.
"Are you saying that you need to take resources from us in order to serve the community better?" asked Ursula Duncan, who is organizing a task force to keep the branch open. "Older folks are part of the community. Everybody is kind of like, 'What a slap in the face.' "
However, Jordan said the decision to close the Page Mill YMCA when its 10-year lease expires was solely financial.
The nearly 35-year-old facility, which is housed in the basement of Building B at 755 Page Mill Road, needs a slew of improvements, including a new heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system, she said. The YMCA of Silicon Valley estimates the total cost at $2.8 million.
"There is certainly a deep understanding on behalf of the board of directors of what Page Mill carries and this was a very arduous and difficult decision for them to make," Jordan said.
"But ultimately they realized the organization being a not-for-profit and having such limited resources, we just couldn't take on a $2.8 million debt without having some foreseeable way of recouping that."
The YMCA of Silicon Valley has encouraged members of the Page Mill YMCA to move over to the Palo Alto Family YMCA at 3412 Ross Road or the East Palo Alto Family YMCA at 550 Bell St.
"Nobody wants to go there," Horowitz said about the latter location. "It's not convenient."
The Palo Alto Family YMCA isn't much better, he said. It is located in a residential neighborhood where parking is already scarce.
"It's going to create a problem for the residents there," Horowitz said about the 2,300 members of the Page Mill YMCA who could potentially begin frequenting the branch.
The Palo Alto Family YMCA is already crowded, said Duncan, adding that there are often long lines for the exercise machines and showers.
"They don't want to be where little kids are running all around and it's noisy," she said about Page Mill YMCA users. "Particularly for seniors that we have, it would be dangerous for them to go over there."
Asked whether the YMCA of Silicon Valley considered asking Page Mill YMCA members to raise money for the needed repairs, Jordan said the organization rarely undertakes capital campaigns and instead focuses on causes such as keeping needy families fed.
"I'm not saying the people at Page Mill don't have needs," Jordan said. "They absolutely do. This is horrible. This is why we kept Page Mill open as long as we have. We're certainly a community of people, but when it comes to fundraising, we put the most effort into raising money for people who don't even have basic needs like food."
Horowitz and Duncan said the task force wants to work with the YMCA of Silicon Valley to find a way to keep the Page Mill YMCA open. But it may mount a legal challenge if all else fails.
"We're not going down without a fight," said Horowitz.

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 180 AC/DC TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

Photograph by Chris Johns
"For a [female] cheetah the real danger is not losing a kill but losing her cubs. Ninety-five percent of cheetah cubs die before reaching independence. Hyenas kill them out of hunger, lions apparently out of bad habit. ... Female cheetahs deal with the threat by constantly moving, preferably before their rivals even know they're around. They coexist as phantom species, slipping into temporary vacancies between prides of lions and packs of hyenas."

In an image taken by a remotely operated 35-mm camera, a baby langur monkey clings to his mother's chest in India's Bandhavgarh National Park. Photographer Michael Nichols set up the cameras to capture tigers in action, but the active langur monkeys tripped the infrared beam thousands of times a day, using up so many rolls of film that he had to adjust the timer to operate during "tiger time"—late afternoon, when tigers prepared for their nightly hunt.

Detox Diaries: My Three Weeks on "Clean"
Think you've got what it takes to detox for 21 days? Here's how one woman did it, why (perfect skin, anyone?), and the info you need to decide if this plan is for you
My weight is it's lowest yet and I'm pretty low on energy today. I was starving this morning so I had a vegan energy bar with my green juice for a little pick-me-up. It seemed to help, but I was still starving again by lunchtime. I can't really say I feel a whole lot better than normal -- but I also don't feel any worse than I usually do. And I am learning that I can survive on a lot less food than I thought I needed; I'm just not sure I want to.
For dinner, I tried a different recipe from the book -- carrot ginger soup -- and wow, is it awful. It has apple cider vinegar in it and the whole soup just tastes like that; so gross. I manage to salvage it by cooking it for a lot longer than what's suggested (to cook out the vinegar taste) and adding a ton of salt, pepper, and garlic. The end result is pretty good, but nowhere near the book's recipe.
SEE NEXT PAGE: Last day -- hooray!

Ashland police have received lab results confirming that heroin had been used by two Ashland men who were found dead just 24 hours apart on Dec. 3 and 4.
"We can confirm that heroin was associated in the deaths," Ashland police Deputy Chief Corey Falls said.
Heroin was found in the body of 36-year-old Colin McKean, who was found by a family member in his home on Dec. 3, and heroin, methamphetamine and alcohol were found in the body of 34-year-old Jordan Roth, who was found by a family friend on Dec. 4, according to Falls. Police are still investigating the cases, but the investigation is likely nearing a close, Falls said.
Local drug investigators say that heoin use has been on the upswing following efforts to crack down on the availability of prescription pain pills.

Comments about Jack Black Double Duty Face Moisturizer, SPF 20, 1.5 oz:
My skin is very sensitive to the sun, so I have to wear sunscreen everyday. I had a hard time finding sunscreen for my face that wouldn't cause breakouts, look oily, or smell too strong. Someone recommended to me that I try products targeted towards men even though I'm a girl (since guys don't like fragrance and also don't want to look like they are wearing face products)
This did just that. I doesn't look greasy or oily, and works fine under makeup. It has a smell, but much lighter and natural than the normal sunscreen smell. I haven't had a breakout or sunburn yet.

Hi, I am Danny Batson (Knouse) and I am a lifelong resident of the Chillicothe area. I was born in 1951 and graduated from CHS in 1969. I took over my dad's septic tank business that he founded in 1937. While I have been in every state (except Hawaii and Maine), there is no place like home! I love taking pictures of old and unusual things and sharing them. There is beauty in everything, if we look for it. I have three Facebook pages filled with local pictures that may be of interest: "Where Has Danny Been," Chillicothe Now," and "Danny Batson".
Hi, I am Gary Thomas and I was born just across from Central School in 1942. I graduated from CHS in 1960 and MU in 1964. After two years in Army, I completed a graduate degree at the University of Chicago in 1970. After working in software development for more than 40 years, I retired from Raytheon in 2007. I have an abiding interest in history and in researching past events, places, and people. My latest project is developing a history-based chronology for Livingston County from 1801-2000.
To this very day I do not know why I did such crazy things growing up; the wheels in my head were always turning.
There was a novelty store on the south side of the square next to the alley. It was a wonderful shop, they sold things in there that no other store in Chillicothe carried. I believe it was more of a smoke shop though. One day I bought this little round metal can about the size of a quarter, it was full of cigarette loads. I had been saving my money for this for quite some time, for you see everyone in my family smoked. For that matter, the majority of adults smoked back then.
We had just moved our Vagabond trailer between the old house and the railroad tracks next to the viaduct on S. Washington. At this time my cousins were still living in the house. After walking home from uptown I saw dad and another man sitting outside the trailer drinking. I hated it when dad started drinking, because it would last for weeks.
I ran down the hill from Washington Street and into the trailer. I watched and listened to them through the screen door and got madder and madder as they drank and told tall tales. Dad had run out of his cigarettes so he yelled in at me and told me to look in the trailer for some in the ash trays, that's because mom would leave long butts about.
Remember… LSMFT? I found a Lucky Strike without a filter about an inch and a half long, Perfect! I yelled back and told him I had found one. It didn't take me long to put one of those loads into it. Since I had never used these before, I thought… one more should work even better!
After I loaded the butt, I could still see them both. So I took a matchstick and pushed them deeper stick inside the cigarette. When I opened the screen door and handed it out to him he asked me to light it. This request was something that I had not planned on.
I was very careful as I lit it up, I knew if I sucked on it too much it would go off. I took it to him and watched as he smoked it. Nothing happened for a while, until it got about 3/4" long. As he was about to throw it away, he took one last puff. It went off like a firecracker and numbed his lips. He fell backwards in his chair and started cursing. The other man started laughing, so I did too, now that was a big mistake on my part!
Oh, he was so mad. He got to his feet and the chase was on. I could run faster than him. Every time he got near, I ran around George Trager's Welding Shop and Bailey's Garage on Leeper Street. I remember that finally he tricked me and I was in for it. It was the worst whippin' I ever had from him.
My dad is on the right and that's Truman Graves on the left. We rented the house in the background for just $35 a month. It had two bed rooms, a kitchen, and living room. We had an outside toilet.

Q I just finished reading your response in Wednesday's column to Scott Carr about the lack of Obama bumper stickers on Prius vehicles. I love your answer, but I'm sure you'll be hearing from many who think your answer was a thinly veiled support of Obama. I'll be watching to see if anyone writes in to complain. I support both you and Obama. Good job!
Mary Palmer
Morgan Hill
A Oh, good God. I think every Romney supporter in the Bay Area has angrily chastised me. Here is what Scott Carr commented on, plus my response -- which I thought was pretty mild.
Q Four years ago almost every single Prius had a bumper sticker for Obama. I did see one in 2008 with a McCain sticker, but I believe that came from an alternate universe. But this season, I have not seen a single Obama 2012 bumper sticker on a Prius. What is going on? Have Prius owners become apolitical? Or, have they become timid Republicans too scared to slap on a Romney sticker? What is your opinion? Why no Obama stickers on Prius cars this election season?
Scott Carr
Palo Alto
A I've seen a few Obama stickers, but have only seen one Romney-Ryan sticker -- on a big, honkin' SUV. My opinion: Obama brought so much hope to the 2008 campaign after eight years of economic policies that had us at the brink of a depression. Obama helped avoid that, but the economy under his watch has improved only slightly, and both Prius and non-Prius owners realize how much work remains.
Q Geez, Gary, just put the Obama sticker on your Prius and stop pussyfooting around. It's not like everybody doesn't know who you are voting for by now. Remember, I'm counting on my Romney vote to offset yours!
Dennis Cole
A And off we go. ...
Q Please tell Scotty Carr that the reason he doesn't see any Obama decals is because smart Prius owners, like me, have opened up our eyes. Never again would I vote for Obama. Enough said. By the way, your comment about seeing a Romney decal on an SUV was unnecessary. ... Easy on the Bush-bashing. I drive an F-250 four-wheel drive diesel pickup with my Romney sticker displayed loud and proud! ... When did Roadshow become another mouthpiece for Obama? By the way, I drive a 17-year-old Ford and I support Romney/Ryan. This country can't survive another four years of Obama. ... Please leave your liberal politics out of the traffic reporting please!
D.G., Wayne Flora, Phil Jackson, Gary Martin and a few hundred more
A Now to the other side.
Q Gary, I was glad that you printed the remarks from a reader wondering why he had not seen as many Obama bumper stickers on the cars of Prius owners as were so common in 2008. I had Obama stickers four years ago but now have a new Prius without them. I still support the president but we all know he will win in California, so it's not as important to slap a bumper sticker on my new car. ... Lighten up. Gary's answer was entirely appropriate to the question that was put forth.
Monica Castillo, Tammy Thompson-Shetterly and a few more
A And ...
Q In response to Scott Carr's question about the Prii without Obama bumper stickers: I drive a Prius and did have one on my car which was torn off, shredded and left beside my car in a parking lot in Walnut Creek (obviously by a Romney supporter who didn't want an advertisement for Obama). I was furious that my freedom of speech was taken away so easily.
Candace O'Brien
Walnut Creek
A You have a right to be upset. It sounds like a village somewhere is missing its idiot.

Authorities in Norwood say a woman has been charged with setting a fire that forced the evacuation of a nursing home next door.
Fire crews responded early Monday when the blaze broke out on the second and third floors of the Sherman Avenue home. It was destroyed.
Police said the fire came dangerously close to the adjacent nursing home, which had to be evacuated. Nobody was hurt, but one firefighter was treated for heat exhaustion.
Police said Stephanie Krauser, 52, has been charged with aggravated arson. Lt. Tom Williams said Krauser set her second-floor apartment on fire after an argument with her boyfriend.
Krauser then told the downstairs neighbors that they should get out because of the fire.

About the Book
St. Petersburg, 1736. Dasha and Xenia are cousins and devoted friends growing up in the shadow of royal society. On the night they make their debut at court, Xenia falls madly in love with a charismatic singer in the empress's imperial choir. They marry and settle into a contented family life.
But on a snowy winter night, tragedy shatters their dreams, plunging Xenia into an abyss of grief. Pulling away from everyone, including her dear friend, she begins giving away her possessions to the poor. Then one day she disappears...until eight years later, when Dasha hears rumors of a soothsayer and healer in St. Petersburg's slums, dressed in a ragged military uniform, who answers only to her husband's name.
Told in Dasha's compelling voice, The Mirrored World vividly captures a darkly glittering world of imperious empresses, ice palaces, holy fools, and Italian castrati—a world of unparalleled extravagance for the few and desperate squalor for the multitudes. What causes one privileged young woman to cross that divide, to give up all her possessions and become one of the homeless people whom she has served? Is it devotion or delusion? The novel illuminates the blessings of friendship, the limits of reason, and the costs of loving deeply.

Behind the Curtain of the Dealer LAB: Understand the Power of Management by the Numbers
Saturday, Feb. 16 – 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Successfully managing a dealership requires more than experience and gut instinct; you need timely and accurate financial data. If you make staffing decisions with your heart, you're only going to get a heart attack, says consultant Bill Shenk. To sell units and maximize your profits, you must have quality people, a quality process, and make decisions based on facts. The Dealer LAB project, the popular editorial series that is a joint venture between Dealernews and PowerHouse Dealer Services and sponsored by Manheim, chronicles Shenk's attempts to return a once-failing business, Destination Powersports in Punta Gorda, Fla., to profitability. In this session, Shenk will candidly share his challenges so far with staff turnover, moving to a new location, satisfying OEM requirements, obtaining financing, and much more.
Bill Shenk is the founder of PowerHouse Dealer Services, one of the largest independent 20 Group organizations in the industry. An expert licensed road racer who owned his first dealership by the time he was 30, Shenk has always liked to move fast. In the 1980s he helped Lightspeed's founders design their new dealership management system, and then later developed FasTrak, his own automated reporting system for dealers. Shenk is a regular contributor to Dealernews through the Dealer LAB project.
Data Back Industry Trends: The Difference Between Good Dealers and Great Dealers
Friday, Feb. 15 – 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

And in sales, you can determine your most profitable customers and find out whether your margins are increasing, declining or holding. You can't improve it if you can't track it — and you can't track it without a point of reference. In this cross-departmental session, industry veteran Hal Ethington will show you the difference between good data and great data, and using it to build your bottom line.
Harold D. "Hal" Ethington brings to the industry more than 40 years of experience as owner, accountant, computer program developer and, for the past 23 years, analyst and classroom instructor with ADP Lightspeed.

An Asthma Action Plan is a written, customized plan to help you take action to manage your asthma. If you know what to watch for and what steps to take, you will be able to make timely and appropriate decisions about managing your condition help prevent your asthma from getting worse. The Action Plan is based on changes in asthma symptoms. Peak flow monitoring can also be used as part of the asthma action plan. The asthma action plan will:
View an example Asthma Action Plan (pdf).
Action Plans should be individualized. Your health care provider will develop an Action Plan for you, and your action plan should include the following information:
Asthma Symptoms
Your action plan should tell you what to do when you experience asthma symptoms and when you need to increase treatments to manage asthma symptoms. Your plan will be based on the severity or seriousness of these symptoms.
Peak Flow Numbers and Peak Flow Zones
Your asthma action plan may include use of a peak flow meter. Peak flow numbers measure how well you are breathing. If your peak flow number drops, it means you are having trouble breathing. Peak flow zones can be used to signal you when your peak flow drops a certain percentage. Your health care provider will consider certain characteristics of your asthma and help you determine your zones.
Asthma Medications
Together with your health care provider, you will develop instructions about when to take asthma medications.
Emergency Telephone Numbers and Locations of Emergency Care
Your written action plan should include information about who to call and where to get emergency care. Your health care provider will be able to give you telephone numbers and locations for emergency care during the day or night. You should also include numbers of relatives, friends and other people who can help you in an emergency.
These are five points that your health care provider should specifically clarify for you for inclusion in your Action Plan.
Your Action Plan can help you manage your asthma symptoms. Here are tips to make sure it's available and update for you to use:
Photocopy your written plan and give it to those who can assist you in using the plan, including your spouse or significant other, relatives and work personnel.
Keep a current action plan with you at all times for use in an emergency.
Review your action plan with your health care provider at least once a year. Changes in your personal best or baseline peak flow number or medications may mean your action plan also needs to be changed.
If you ever have questions or concerns about your Action Plan, please discuss them with your health care provider.

News 12 at 6 o'clock, August 1, 2009
EVANS, Ga. -- More people are out shopping this weekend, not only because kids are going back to school soon, but also because it's a tax free weekend in Georgia.
So the United Way is hoping to cash in -- by way of donations.
News 12 is on your side tonight along with our time to care sponsors for this year's first annual stuff a bus.
Instead of having a bus full of kids, today it was all about filling the bus with back to school supplies.
"It's a great feeling to see the response from our community," said Michel Young, a volunteer.
And the need is high -- with more families pinching pennies.
"A lot of families are finding themselves in an unfamiliar territory," United Way President, LaVerne Gold said. "And an unfamiliar situation when they can't provide basic school supplies."
Which is exactly why the united way has partnered with four Wal-Mart's in Augusta in the Stuff-A-Bus campaign. Their hope is that shoppers out on this tax free weekend will spare a few extra bucks for school supplies to be donated to children.
"We probably expect 20 to 25 percent more traffic customer the good thing is that means more faces get to see the bus," said Wal-Mart General Manager, Patrick Clifford.
Due to that increased traffic Gold is sure that, "We know we can stuff this bus!"
And with the teamwork of everyone in the community, the goal isn't to only stuff this bus, but more importantly stuff each and every backpack of needy kids here at home.

Hello Hiro Mashima, Fairy tail is a really good anime, but to rank it further, you have to think about a way so that natsu trains to become stronger, he cannot just rely on his hidden powers to continue, as far as the anime is on now, many can defeat natsu easily, so make something interesting, like gildarts training natsu.
