More Information
Airstream trailers return to Sarasota
Published: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 5:27 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 5:27 p.m.
SARASOTA - Susan Quintana has traveled to Branson, Mo., and Big Bend, Texas, with the trademark aluminum trailer hitched to her car. When her husband started to lose his mind to Alzheimer's, Quintana took the wheel of the Airstream trailer they bought together and they kept traveling.
What: 40th annual Airstream rally
Where: Sarasota Fairgrounds, 3000 Ringling Blvd.
When: Through Sunday
Cost: Free for spectators
But Thursday, Quintana was content to read her Kindle outside of her 2008 model as she took in opening day of the 40th Annual Florida Airstream RV Rally at the Sarasota fairgrounds.
What is it about the trailer that causes "Airstreamers" from across the country to converge for four days of seminars, trade shows and socializing?
"It's the look," Quintana, 72, said, gesturing to rows of silver, rounded models around her. "And the quality. You can feel the difference between these and other trailers."
Gordon Grady, 76, of Pinellas Park, drove to Sarasota on Thursday to meet Victor Bowman, of Chatanooga, Tenn., who brought his 1990 Excella 1000 model to the event.
The two have traveled often together, even living in Newfoundland, Canada, for 55 days.
They also know the ropes about the trailers that many will not go on road trips without.
They point out the refinished 1987 model that was rebuilt after an accident. They laugh at the 34-footer with the Canadian-unit flag hitched to a Mercedes.
But tucked among the excitement Thursday was much nostalgia. Years ago, participants said, thousands packed the fairgrounds for this rally. Now, several hundred participate.
"We're an older group," Quintana said. "We need to just get younger."

PHOENIX -- Friday was the second day of full team workouts for the A's, but third baseman Josh Donaldson, even at this early date, can't help but think ahead.
To October.
After making it to the playoffs the last two seasons and coming up short in five games against the Detroit Tigers, Donaldson said there is a sense of unfulfillment.
"We've got more to do here," he said Friday. "I wouldn't mind seeing Detroit again in the playoffs, but this time in the ALCS."
The American League Championship Series lasts seven games instead of the five games for the Division Series. A longer series would perhaps decrease the importance of a dominant starting pitcher, or even two. The Tigers won Game 5 last year with ace Justin Verlander dominating after Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer won Game 4 in relief.
But that's an issue for later. First, the A's have to get to the playoffs. The A.L. West is loaded once again, but Donaldson figures the two-time champs are the team to beat.
"We've been to the top of the mountain the last two years," Donaldson said in looking ahead to the divisional race. "We're not saying it won't be tough. We're going to have a target on our backs. But we know what it takes."
The second full day of team workouts is a day that has a special meaning to Donaldson. It was two years ago that Donaldson, struggling to make the A's as a backup catcher, was pulled aside by manager Bob Melvin and told he was now a third baseman.
Starting third baseman Scott Sizemore had wrecked his knee, and Donaldson, who had experience at the hot corner, was needed there.
"At the time I was trying to make it as a backup catcher to Kurt Suzuki," Donaldson said Friday. "Then Bob came and told me to put away my catching gear. That changed everything for me."
In two years since, Donaldson has developed into a very good defensive third baseman and one of the pillars of the A's offense. He finished fourth in the MVP voting last year after hitting .301 with 37 doubles, 24 homers and 93 RBIs. He led the A's in average and RBIs.
"My expectations two years ago today were to be the best catcher I could be and do the best I could to make the team," Donaldson said. "My expectations now are to do everything I can to get this team into the playoffs and the World Series."
Donaldson's evolution from aspiring catcher to top-flight third baseman and middle-of-the-lineup hitter has directly paralleled the A's rise to prominence in the A.L. West.
"He's one of the keys to what we're trying to do," Melvin said. "I don't have to tell him anymore that he's not going to catch. He knows what he has to do. He's someone we depend on a lot."

SANTA CLARA -- Rookie center Marcus Martin became the latest in a string of 49ers to suffer knee injuries in the past month. Martin had to be carted off the field after his left knee was injured on a fourth-quarter block in Sunday's exhibition win over the San Diego Chargers.
"What don't kill me, will only make me stronger," Martin wrote on Twitter. "I'll be back better than ever before, thank you everyone for the well wishes!! Love y'all!"
Coach Jim Harbaugh said afterward he did not know the severity of the injury. Martin's legs got rolled up on at the end of a Glenn Winston run, and before Martin got carted off the Levi's Stadium's field, a large contingent of teammates lined up to wish him well.
The 49ers have lost four players to season-ending knee injuries since training camp began: running back Kendall Hunter, guard Fou Fonoti, wideout Chuck Jacobs and linebacker Blake Costanzo.
Martin, a third-round pick out of USC, was hindered by an ankle injury during training camp, virtually eliminating him from contention for the starting center job with Daniel Kilgore.
"I caught a lot of heat for that last year," said McDonald, a second-round draft pick out of Rice. "I never lost my confidence. I always knew I was capable of catching the football."
McDonald had a team-high three receptions for 29 yards in Sunday's 21-7 win. He gave the 49ers the lead, at 10-7, when he caught a 6-yard pass from Blaine Gabbert 46 seconds before halftime. "Blaine went out today playing really confident, coming off the last two weeks, he was firing the ball and found me open," McDonald said.
James remained in the game, had seven carries for 9 yards and an 11-yard kickoff return. Harbaugh said James' carries went "too wide" at times.
Rather than blame the sod, James said he should have worn better cleats. His footing didn't give way, however, when he nicely executed a couple pass-protection blocks. "I'm proving to y'all I can pass protect," James said. "Everyone doubts me, and I take it personal."

Post-holiday depression got you down? Looking for some excitement in your life? I have three words, my friends: Puppy hot tub.
Yep, Puppy Bowl IX on Animal Planet is a mere two weeks off, and there's a hot tub involved this year. That also means that you have precious little time remaining to send out your Puppy Bowl party invitations. It's hard to believe that the Puppy Bowl is turning 9, or 63 in dog years. It's rising in popularity - last year Puppy Bowl VIII ranked No. 2 overall for social television behind the Super Bowl with just under 10 million viewers, and more than 200,000 Puppy Bowl-related tweets, according to AnimalPlanet.com.
Once again it will be shown on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 3, prior to the big game between San Francisco and New England (oops ... forgot the spoiler alert!). But there are big changes this year.
Of course among those will be stricter enforcement of roughing the ball carrier - there is just no room in sports for the kind of brutality seen in a typical Puppy Bowl. The things those puppies do to the fleece squirrel are just shocking.
From The Wrap TV: "The latest incarnation of the animal kingdom's most-anticipated sporting event is receiving a few tweaks this year. In a first for the nine-year-old Puppy Bowl, new Puppy Cam technology will put viewers on the field with 'in-your-face' shots of snouts, tails and paws, while an off-field camera will capture substitutes warming up for the game in a special puppy hot tub."
I see no way that can end badly.
The really big news, however, is that Animal Planet is employing hedgehog cheerleaders for the big game. This replaces last year's cheerleaders: piglets, and the year before that, I believe, we had chickens.
This has caused much controversy for some reason. I mentioned the addition of hedgehogs over at my NBCSports.com blog, Off the Bench, and the response was immediate. Many readers were concerned. Excerpts:
"Does this not seem dangerous?!?!"
"Hedgehogs are wild animals - they may harm the puppies!"
"Hedgehogs? Why?"
But the hedgehogs had their defenders as well.
"Why would it be dangerous? Hedgehogs are not aggressive by nature. They are not like porcupines (their quills do not detach or stick into anything, nor are they barbed), and they are kept safely apart from the puppies. I have two dogs and five hedgehogs, and while I don't allow them to interact unsupervised, they get along famously during cuddle time."
This last comment was posted by "pigwidgeon57," who in my opinion should be closely watched.
Hedgehog facts: there are 17 species, none of them native to the Americas. In fact, it is illegal to own a hedgehog as a pet in some U.S. states and some Canadian municipalities, according to http://hedgehogs.org/facts-about-british-hedgehog.
So I'm hoping that "pigwidgeon57" lives outside of the U.S. or Canada, because otherwise those doggie-hedgehog cuddle parties he's supervising are against the law. And I'd hate to see one of my readers go to the Big House for something like that.

The enduring Irish recession and uncertainty of a stable financial future is not deterring undocumented Irish and their families from moving back to Ireland in the coming months.
Some of the undocumented men and women currently living in New York spoke to the Irish Voice about their big decision to move home, especially in such turbulent times.
Due to the status of those interviewed, alias names will be used in this article.
Ava, a thirty-something emigrant from Co. Donegal, along with her husband and two children, is a few weeks away from packing their lives into a container and moving countries.
Ava came to New York 14 years ago and her husband 15. They met in the Bronx and are now married seven years.
"Living in New York has been the greatest experience ever and life has really been fantastic, but the realities of living life without a green card has really hit home," shared Ava over a cup of tea.
"We are hitting our heads off a brick wall."
Ava, who has worked several jobs through the years to make ends meet, feels a life without health insurance and no long-term pension is not creating the stable environment she needs for her family.
Her husband, like hundreds of Irish, is in the construction industry. Although business is good, every day is becoming a "little scarier without the right papers," says Ava.
Both Ava and her husband's driver's licenses are about to expire, and driving illegally is not an option for them.
Ava, who cares for the elderly and young, feels they have finally seen the bigger picture.
"We are getting older and don't have any security here, so Ireland it is," she said. "What am I going to do, work here illegally until I'm 80? Moving home is the right decision for our family."
Aside from being undocumented in the U.S. Ava said missing family is also a part of their decision to move back. "Not being able to see family frequently and missing events has always been difficult," she added.
Since making the decision to go home Ava has been advised from both sides of the pond that the move is very risky, but it's a risk they are willing to take.
"I totally understand people (undocumented) wanting to stay here for the long haul but it's not for us, not now anyway," she said. "It is hard lately to get work here without papers. A lot of the jobs I've come across require a Social Security number which I don't have."
So the decision to move back home was made at Christmas. Flights were booked in March, and Ava and her family will be home just in time for her first child to begin school in Ireland in September.
"We know things will be tough in Ireland but we are looking forward to a new chapter in our lives. I'm naturally nervous but I'm going to embrace the change positively," she says.

Jason and his partner Leah have been living in the shadows in Yonkers for eight years. Jason, a bartender, and Leah, a hairdresser, have "had enough" of being undocumented and are planning to move back to Ireland before Christmas.
"We've been hanging on and hanging on for years in the hope that there would be some sort of immigration reform and nothing has happened," Jason told the Irish Voice recently. "We have good jobs, a great social life and a fantastic circle of friends, but being illegal isn't for us anymore."
Leah is on the same page as her partner. "We both have missed so many family weddings, and even a close family death occurred last year that we were unable to go home for. We sat down a few months ago and decided it was the best decision for us," said Leah.
Jason worries about the employment situation in Ireland. "I know there are very few jobs over there so that is definitely something we have to accept. We are working very hard at the moment to save as much money to keep us both going for a year without working if it comes to that," said Jason.
Leah is excited about the decision to move back to Ireland. "I have missed my friends a lot since moving here, and to be honest I feel I've overstayed my welcome. I often say to (Jason) that I feel
guilty for living in a country that I'm not legally supposed to be in," she said. "It will feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders if I'm being honest."

I meet with senior citizens every day as an elder law attorney. When the topic of advanced health care directives, living wills and health care proxies come up, the question I am most frequently asked concerns whether there is an age limit for organ and tissue donation.
"I'm too old to donate anything."
"No one would want these old organs."
"I don't have anything in good enough shape to donate."
"I plan to wear my organs out."
"Who would want an 80-year old kidney?"
Each of the documents I've mentioned contains an opportunity for organ and/or tissue donation for purposes of transplant, medical study and/or education. The donation language can be as broad or narrow as the donor wishes. There is an opportunity to select organ donor on your Pennsylvania driver's license. The website organdonor.gov allows you to register online as an organ donor.
Contrary to what many believe, there is no age limit for organ and tissue donation. People age 50 and older account for 32 percent of donors and 60 percent of the total number of transplants in the United States. Adults in their 80s and 90s have successfully donated organs, tissues and eyes. Corneas are particularly sought after, and interestingly, corneas do not age.
The decision to use organs and tissues is based upon strict medical criteria, not the age of the organ or tissue donor. The organdonor.gov site includes a section of FAQs, or frequently asked questions, which dispels many of the myths surrounding organ donation. If you have considered becoming a donor, it's worth looking at this website. And when in doubt, speak to your own physician about questions related to organ donation.
The Department of Health and Human Services launched an effort last year to educate older adults on registering as organ donors, as there are so many individuals awaiting organ and tissue transplants each year. If you decide to join the ranks of organ donors you can register at organdonor.gov, indicate your selection of organ donor when your license renews, or complete an advanced health care directive, living will or health care proxy setting forth your wishes.
Lori Cerato is a Stroudsburg attorney concentrating her practice in the area of elder law. If you would like to see a particular question covered in this column, email firstname.lastname@example.com. Cerato cannot guarantee a reply to every individual's query.

Funeral home to be at East Lawn
September 18, 2013
One of the area's older graveyards will undergo a major upgrade over the next several months as a new funeral home is to be built on the grounds of the 85-acre East Lawn Memorial Park and Valley......
hmmm...marketing synergies in the death business i guess....
maybe they should consider a funeral home next to the hospital or a nursing home or something.
with the ongoing implementation of Obamacare there should be lots of growth opportunities for funeral homes and cemeteries.

Construction growth has PGT hiring
Published: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 8:33 p.m.
PGT Inc., boosted by a revival in new residential construction and the launch of a new line of storm-resistant windows for retail storefronts, has added dozens of workers at its Venice headquarters and plant since the start of the year.
In all, the maker of impact-resistant windows and doors has hired 64 new workers since Jan. 1, and it has more positions to fill, said Alicia Adams, PGT's human resources director.
"We are gearing up right now for our busy season," Adams said. "And with the economy improving some, we have seen some improvement in the new-construction market."
The company has recently filled positions in sales, marketing, manufacturing and glass operations, and it continues to recruit for jobs in manufacturing, for maintenance mechanics, electrical technicians and international sales representatives, among others.
PGT also is now taking orders for its Storefront Commercial System, which features large, storm-resistant panes of glass meant for retail storefronts.
"We are very excited about that," said Adams.
She estimated the current payroll at 1,060.
The company now operates three production shifts in Venice.
Founded in 1980, PGT established itself as a leader in the impact-resistant window industry following Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
A NASDAQ-traded company, PGT posted its last quarterly report in October. While sales were flat at $129 million in the first nine months of the year, gross profit margins improved substantially, to about 34 percent -- from 23 percent a year earlier. Net income of $5.8 million compared with a net loss of $10.6 million a year earlier.
In another sign of its own confidence in its future, PGT announced in November that it would spend up to $20 million by the end of 2013 to buy back its own common stock.
The company said at the end of 2010 that it would close its plant in Salisbury, N.C., consolidating operations in Venice. The assembly operations conducted in North Carolina were moved to the Venice plant in 2011. The company finalized its North Carolina exit in January, when it sold its plant there for $8 million.

Everything perfect! We really loved the apartment and the location lets you move by walking. Thank you, Joonas!
Lovely apartment, only a short walk from everything, beautifully renovated - perfect for our long weekend with a group of friends! It's also great to stay in a typical Helsinki apartment rather than an impersonal hotel room that could be anywhere. If we have the opportunity, we would definitely like to stay here again.
We had a good time in Helsinki. Very nice and modern apartment and really close to the city. The contact with Joonas is very nice and uncomplicated. The apartment is well furnished and its easy to feel home!
A very nice apartment in a great location. The contact with Joonas is very nice and we would definitely come back!
Eine sehr schöne Wohnung in einer tollen Lage. Der Kontakt zu Joonas was sehr nett und wir kommen gerne wieder!
Excellent central apartment, though very calm environment. We, a family of five woult like to stay here again, next visit to Helsinki. Thanks!
All perfect, central and spacious, the bad q no smoking
Todo perfecto, céntrico y espacioso, lo malo q no se puede fumar
Joonas is a very nice guy. I stayed at his nice flat with my friends for one night. The place is great, close to the center. There were many usefull maps and brochures in the apartment. Joonas was very nice and helpfull. He even helped us to get surprise birthday cake for my girlfriend.
I recomended this place 100%.
The apartment is located in an excellent location. She is very bright and cheerful and has a very nice bathroom. The owner was nice and easy. However, the apartment was not very clean. Even at first glance it was obvious that the floor was not cleaned. There were food scraps under the table, etc. But the apartment itself is great!
Die Wohnung befindet sich an einer ausgezeichneten Lage. Sie ist sehr hell und freundlich und verfügt über ein sehr schönes Badezimmer. Der Vermieter war nett und unkompliziert. Die Wohnung war allerdings nicht sehr sauber. Bereits auf den ersten Blick war zu erkennen, dass der Boden nicht geputzt wurde. Es waren noch Essensreste unter dem Tisch etc. Aber die Wohnung an sich ist top!

With the governor's signature this week, California college students from middle-income families will soon be in line for a tuition discount.
The state-funded Middle Class Scholarship will buffer tens of thousands of students from UC's and Cal State's frequent and unpredictable fee hikes.
That's something for UC Santa Cruz student Ryan King to look forward to. He has worked many jobs and taken on a pile of debt to pay for his education -- now $15,000 a year, not including room and board.
"There's been nothing for middle-income students to mitigate that tuition increase," King said. "The answer has always been loans -- until now."
When the program begins in 2014 it will bring some relief to California's middle-class families who have watched helplessly in recent years as public tuition and fees have nearly doubled since 2007.
It will offer sliding-scale discounts of up to 40 percent for families who earn $150,000 or less and don't qualify for Cal Grants, which support lower-income students. It was a separate bill signed Monday as part of the state budget.
Students apply just as they would for a federal loan or a Cal Grant, by completing a Free Application for Financial Aid by early March. They must also have a C average. About 130,000 public university undergraduates each year will be eligible, according to the state's estimate.
King, who will be a senior when the scholarship kicks in, estimates it will save him about $1,300 in systemwide tuition and fees, enabling him to take out one less loan. The son of a sound mixer and a substitute teacher, King works several jobs, including as a resident assistant, to keep the debt for his parents and himself as low as possible.
"My family has worked really hard to help me, but it is a big burden on them," he said.
As word of the Middle Class Scholarship spreads, others are also beginning to recalibrate how they will pay for college and even where they might go.
The timing couldn't be better for Concord residents Bill and Sandi Svoboda, a middle-income family with three teenage daughters. The new scholarship debuts as 19-year-old Jackie begins her third year at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and their second child, Jessica, is considering what college to attend.
The Clayton Valley Charter High School senior had been considering out-of-state schools but said this discount could sway her to stay in California.
"This legislation is really important for us," her mother said.
While welcome news for families who qualify for the help, observers note that the scholarship is just another patch on the state's education finance predicament.
"It just goes back to: What's the overall funding plan for California higher education? And that doesn't exist," said John Douglass, a senior research fellow at the Center for Studies in Higher Education at UC Berkeley. Even at the maximum discounted rate of 40 percent, a student pays more than in 2008-09. The scholarship covers only systemwide tuition and fees -- not room and board, living expenses, textbooks or campus fees, which average nearly $20,000 a year.
And, given the state's perennial budget gyrations, the scholarship could prove an unreliable financial aid. If the governor's May budget proposal shows a deficit, the program's funding -- $305 million when fully implemented in 2017 -- could drop by as much as one third.
Still, King and other students who fought for an earlier version of the bill when Assembly Speaker John Perez first introduced it in 2012 say they were heartened that state lawmakers did something -- anything -- to help students.
"This is giving people great hope," King said. "Maybe we can have a UC and a CSU that are truly great universities that don't turn people away because they can't afford it."

To apply: If your family's income is too high for a Cal Grant but less than $150,000, you can apply for a state Middle Class Scholarship using the standard Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, form. You also must be a UC or Cal State student with at least a C average.
Scholarship amount: The scholarship money starts flowing in 2014, and the program will be in full effect by 2017 when systemwide tuition and fee discounts will range from 10 to 40 percent. For families with incomes of $100,000 or less, the reduction would be 40 percent. The discount decreases gradually for every $1,000 in income above that amount.

One county, one government. The struggle for consolidation in Columbia County comes to an end for now. State lawmakers will keep consolidation off the ballot this November. A united government could mean more money and services for the county coming from fees added to utility bills. But now the county has to find a way to make up for the half a million dollars they were counting on.
It's the topic that brought on months of debate. Commissioner Steve Brown says lawmakers did not approve it for this year's ballot because they didn't have all the information.
"I don't recall seeing any legislators at any of our county meetings," he said.
State Representative Barry Fleming agrees he didn't have enough information, but he argues it's because commissioners never gave it to him.
"We gave them several questions to answer, and they have never gotten back to us about it."
He has questions about possible changes to the sheriff's office, how franchise fees would affect people long-term, and whether a unified government would offer public transit.
"We've already answered that question," said Brown, who also has some questions of his own.
Fleming represents Harlem and also serves as its attorney. In documents dating back to last November, Brown finds Fleming earned thousands in legal fees from the city. The commissioner says, for Representative Flemming to get payment from Harlem, could be a conflict of interest. Harlem is known to oppose consolidation.
"Not letting this go forward, not really addressing why we're not able to vote on this in November, is a concern of mine," said Brown.
Fleming says it's not a conflict of interest. He argues it's not uncommon for state lawmakers to serve as city attorneys for parts of their districts. And he's just looking out for what most people in his rural district want.
"I don't think people in those areas are in favor of consolidation. So far, it's the way its been presenter," he said.
Either way, the consolidation deal is off. Commissioner Brown says this is not over, and they'll probably try it again next year.
Columbia County was hoping to become the fourth consolidated government in Georgia. In addition to Augusta-Richmond, Athens-Clarke and Columbus Muscogee are the other two.

First we check into our swanky digs, and then we spread out to find our cycling brethren and their rides…the cool and carbon…the chill and custom…the wild and Frankenbikin'. We will immerse ourselves in Austin's bicycle atmosphere…and then we inhale. Next we gather unto us all the fellow cycle-friendly travelers, music and film festivalers, the creative professionalers.

GlowWorm FW
Similar to Little Snitch in functionality.
GlowWorm FW Lite is a rule-based network security and monitoring application based on plugin-accessible framework. By defining rules based on a set of connection criteria including the addresses, ports, the relevant endpoint and protocol, as well as a specific application, one can effectively restrict network activity. A free registration code is necessary to use this program.
The developer is also working on a non-Lite shareware full version.

I know now how Vista users have to feel: Constant authorisation requests.
Launching the menu item (after every login): Asks for PW.
Launching main app (because you can't get into the rule editor though the menu item): Asks for PW.
On top of that, the GUI is extremely cluttered. Menu item and main app have two different pref panes. There seems to be an overlap to a certain degree between them, but there are also differences.
Overall GlowWorm feels extremely unfinished and "un-macish". Considering that the author is also selling a pro version, this is almost an effrontery.
For a free app it's bearable, but it's not great either.
autumnmist: I think it is a 9pt point within the Rule Editor. Small, I know. After I get the last couple "big" features done, I'll be going back through and doing things like font customization and localization. Neither of those are particularly fun to do.
This application is great. I use it to prevent apps from automatically connecting to the internet.
Trying it now. So far, I'm impressed.
My one problem is that the size of the fonts used in the GW rules panel can't be set... they're appearing as something like size 6-8pt on my computer. But it's very nice to find a Little Snitch alternative.

Adoba hotel brand hoping to bring conference center hotel to Abilene
ABILENE, Texas - Abilene could have a new conference center-style hotel downtown.
A company, Adoba, is working to bring the hotel – described as being "eco-friendly" – to Abilene by 2014.
Adoba's proposal would have nearly 300 rooms and about 30,000 square feet, with 14,000 being meeting space and 9,000 as a ballroom.
According to the company's website, Adoba is working with Houston landowner Paul Grohman, who plans to franchise the hotel. Grohman owns several sites in Abilene, but the site for the hotel is not yet determined.
Adrienne Pumphrey, Adoba's global head of the brand, said it will be one of less than five of its kind in the world.
"It will have state of the art technology, especially the conference centers," Pumphrey said.
Adoba has been working with the Abilene Convention and Vistors Bureau to align its plans with the city's needs.
"People want to have a convention under one roof," said Nanci Liles, executive director of Abilene's Convention and Vistors Bureau. "That is what we hear all the time, and if it's not under one roof, they want it within walking distance to the conference center."
Adoba feels strongly about having a hotel in Abilene because of what they say the city has to offer.
"Abilene has an amazing history," Pumphrey said. "You certainly have some state of the art universities and hospitals and those are really aligned with our business plan."
A downtown hotel is high on Abilene Mayor Norm Archibald's wish list. However, he told KTXS that he is not involved in Adoba's plan to bring a conference hotel to Abilene. For now, Archibald said he is only taking requests for proposals to see which offer best lines up with his vision.

I am going into a season coaching a youth boys team. We only practice once a week due to limited gym space and availability. What is a basic man to man offense I can run and be able to teach in that short amount of time? Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated.
For offence- a basic play for offence is have the ball handler plus two other players behind the three point line with two on the free-throw boxes near the basket.
1) Have the two players on the three-point line, go down to the boxes and set a pick for their respective sides.
2) Once this is done the box players come up to three point
3) the player with the ball passes the ball (who should be a few steps behind the 3-point line) to either player coming off the pick.
4) The pass reciever than can either shoot the ball,
or pass the ball down to the low post.

Taut, compelling, and engaging, Roman Polanski's Oscar-nominated "Knife in The Water" is one of the most brilliant director debuts in film.
The narrative of the film involves a middle-age couple driving along a deserted road to the sea. The couple almost run over a young hitchhiker.
With patronizing good will, the husband invites him to come sailing on their boat. The sailboat becomes an ideal setting for the sardonic world view as battle of personalities and sexual tensions build slowly and subtly.
Throughout the film acting, music and camerawork all weave together to create an unexpectedly magical, brilliantly crafted, disturbing yet sensuous experience. The film is 94 minutes and is unrated.
Show time is 8:15 p.m. this Sunday at Cinema 6, Route 6 Mall, Honesdale.
A donation of $5 per person is suggested to help support the activities of the Arts Alliance.
The film will be preceded by a short introduction and followed by a discussion.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Eleven people have been seriously hurt after a ferry crashed into a dock in lower Manhattan today. The injured include one passenger who suffered a severe head wound falling down a stairwell.
Scores of people who'd been standing and waiting to disembark were hurled to the deck or into walls by the impact. It happened as the catamaran Seastreak Wall Street slowed following a routine trip across New York Bay and past the Statue of Liberty.
The accident ripped open a small part of the hull like an aluminum can. Nearly 50 people suffered minor injuries. For nearly two hours, paramedics treated bruised and dazed passengers on the pier.
The cause of the accident is under investigation. The ferry is ten years old and had recently undergone a major overhaul that gave it new engines and a new propulsion system. The ferry company has issued a statement saying it will work with investigators to determine the cause.
Police say the boat's crew passed alcohol breath tests after the crash. The National Transportation Safety Board has sent a team of investigators.
ferry was arriving from Atlantic Highlands, a part of the New Jersey shore that is still struggling to recover from Superstorm Sandy.

Public input is requested as disagreements mount between Summit County officials and the U.S. Forest Service on motorized use on Tenderfoot Mountain that would allow 21 miles of recreation terrain.
The proposed project, located in the Dillon Ranger District at the juncture of the Straight Creek and Frey Gulch trailheads, would create an approximately 21-mile singletrack system including 13 miles of new trail construction and approximately 8 miles of reconstruction and rehabilitation of existing trails.
The Forest Service released an environmental assessment of the area Nov. 17 with its decision to allow the proposal to move forward to best manage the area for recreators.
Summit officials and residents have voiced concern over the proposed system's impact on wildlife and noise disturbance to close-by residents.
The trail system would offer a winding trail less than 5 percent in steep grade with challenging, narrow, rocky and winding areas, said Ken Waugh, recreation staff officer for the Dillon Ranger District.
The project is currently in a 30-day comment period that ends Dec. 17. The county and the Forest Service are seeking public input on the trail system to adequately identify the demand for the track.
This week, both entities are hosting opportunities for the public to get involved in the comment period.
An open house on the trail system will be today from 2-6 p.m. at the Dillon Ranger Station in Silverthorne. Additionally, a special meeting of the Snake River Planning Commission has been scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at Dillon Town Hall. The public meetings will allow citizens to voice their opinions on the proposed trail system.
The county has voiced opposition of the system on behalf of citizens opposed to having motorized use in the area.
"Overwhelmingly we've heard from the community at large that residents support recreational uses on Tenderfoot Mountain being limited predominantly for non-motorized use," said Kate Berg, Summit County senior planner.
"As we were going through the review process, the public and the planning commission noted some significant concerns with the proposal that had to do with impact on wildlife, the noise impeding on wildlife and residents in the surrounding area and issues with the Forest Service's ability to monitor the trail system," Berg said.
According to the Forest Service, the trails would be patrolled by Summit County Off-Road Riders as part of the Trail Ambassador program with the Friends of the Dillon Ranger District.
Volunteers would patrol the trails by motorcycle and speak to other recreators about forest stewardship with an emphasis of staying on the trail.
The trail system would also be patrolled by forest protection officers, with one patrol during the week and one during weekends.
At the start of the system, at the juncture of the Straight Creek and Frey Gulch trailheads, a Stay the Trail education trailer would be present two times per year, according to the education and law enforcement plan for the project.
But per the White River National Forest Travel Plan implemented by the county, motorized recreation is not allowed in the area.
"The county recommended that motorized singletrack not be permitted in that area and just be limited to the historic roads. What we were wanting to continue to allow is access on those roads for hunters and people camping," Berg said.
The proposed motorized trail has been a contentious issue. User-made trails have developed from multiple users over time, creating an unmanaged system, according to Waugh. Containing the area and rehabilitating unsustainable trails is the goal of the Forest Service.
"We're aware of the opposition from the county and we're trying to work toward a compromise, but we may have to agree to disagree," said Peech Keller, with the Forest Service. "The Forest Service and the county are serving two different causes and have very different constituents."
Through the environmental assessment, Forest Service officials said the impacts have been minimized.
"You can't do anything without having an impact - we feel we've reduced the impacts of this project to a very reasonable level," Keller said. "I think we've done a good job identifying the issues and I believe it's possible to come to a compromise. If necessary, we will return to take another look at the environmental analysis."
Keller said there is demand for the system and management is the Forest Service's goal in creating a venue for motorized recreators.
"There's a huge group of people who want this proposal to go through," Keller said. "We serve all of the users of this type of system - a lot of them live in the county. We're trying to best serve our constituents."
For users of current motorized trails, the motorized recreation group has limited legal terrain to utilize, according to Chuck Ginsburg, chairman of Summit County off Road Riders.
"We need a place to ride legally, a significant area in Horseshoe Gulch has been closed, it's down to six miles of legal motorized designated trail," Ginsburg said. "How many trails are dedicated to biking and hiking or walking? Motorized recreators don't have many options."
Ginsburg said SCORR identified Tenderfoot Mountain as the project area because "that's the only area that made sense to have a motorized system." He added the trail would likely be used predominantly by local recreators.
"I think the Forest Service did a great job identifying the issues," Ginsburg said. "They've taken great steps to evaluate the environmental impacts and the I think it's a great plan that's been well thought out from the beginning."

Teachers in Richmond County are helping keep students engaged by using technology in the classroom. (WRDW-TV / Aug. 12, 2011)
News 12 This Morning / Friday, Aug. 12, 2011
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- At Warren Road Elementary, Ms. Suzanna Sutton's fourth grade language arts classroom is full of netbooks instead of notebooks.
The pencil sharper in the room barely works, but that's okay, her students don't usually need it.
"We do everything with the netbooks," Sutton said.
Suttons' 24 netbooks stay in her class so her students can visit poetry websites and listen to the words instead of read them off of a page.
"I see where books just aren't interesting to them," Sutton said. "If you do the exact same thing on the netbook, they are much more interested. They are still getting the same skill, just through technology."
Her student Tanner Thurmond explains it best: "When I'm at home I get on the computer and go find something to do because I'm bored."
It takes a lot to keep Tanner engaged, but in Ms. Sutton's class he gets excited as he enters his answers online for his jeopardy game.
"On the netbooks I don't have to open the book," Tanner said. "I'm kind of lazy and I don't like to flip the pages."
With one click, Tanner has all the information he needs at his fingertips.
Media specialists at the school are spending more time training teachers on ways to implement technology into the classroom. Not just with netbooks, but with the active boards in the classroom.
"Within the last two years they have all started using more multimedia in the classroom," said Hillary Murrah, media specialist at Warren Road Elementary. "I think it's really a funding source. There are lack of funds to really have the technology. Now, Richmond County is kind of helping us get more funds to get technology in the building."
With more technology in the building, students like Tanner are able to put together more creative projects like video slides using a photo programs.
"With technology, I've been able to keep their attention most all the time," Sutton said. "With the board, we really don't use text books often."
Warren Road Elementary has netbooks for the older students in third through fifth grades. This year, the school will receive another cart with 24 additional netbooks for the younger students. Each cart costs $4,000. The money is distributed by the school board based on the need for technology at schools throughout the county.

So i work at my LFS and we had a fahaka 7-8" there for a few months and i picked him up. He was kept in one of the stores 75g
tanks, he was very active and extremely aggressive as well as very hungry all the time (and eating huge amounts). Well i moved
him to my 120g planted tank at home, and now he is very passive and wont eat more than a single clam (1/3-1/2 of what he ate
while at the store). He is also mellow and sits for long periods only to occasionally swim up and down the front panel. He has been
in the tank for about 4 days.
Is this normal? he was so much more active and glutinous at our stores smaller tank. what gives?
what is "normal" behaviour for a healthy puffer?
The tank specs as of today: Ph 7.6, ammonia 0, nitrate 30, nitirite 0*
filtration: home made 5g biofilter, 50w uv sterilizer, pag of purogen.
*after seeing the specs did a 40% water change with gravel vac, lots of detritus. this most likely will solve my nitrate issue.

In a career that spanned decades and yet ended all too soon, Steve Jobs managed to save his best for last.
The success of the iPad was perhaps the most unlikely and remarkable of Jobs' many achievements.
And while many remembrances have noted his "genius" and his "magic," a closer look at why the iPad has been a blockbuster helps us understand the particular qualities that made Jobs special.
In many ways, the iPad epitomizes the way Jobs rebuilt Apple (AAPL) into a consumer electronics juggernaut. He took his time, ignored conventional wisdom, and developed it his way. As a result, it defied the skeptics to become one of the fastest-selling consumer electronic products in history.
As buzz built toward the announcement of some kind of Apple tablet in January 2010, analysts and journalists wondered, what need would it fulfill? What problem would it solve? What devices would it replace?
"I was skeptical along with everyone else," recalled Andrew Eisner, director of content at Retrevo, an online consumer electronics store.
Even when Jobs unveiled it, people ridiculed the name. Remember all those iPad jokes?
Nobody jokes anymore. Not with the company selling 28 million iPads in less than two years. Not with developers creating 135,000 iPad apps that generated more than $1 billion in revenue in just the first nine months.
So what did Jobs and Apple get so right with the iPad?
The first thing was timing. Jobs waited until all the pieces were in place to create a product that would deliver a sublime experience. Carl Howe, a Yankee Group analyst, noted that there were indications Apple had been working on a tablet back in 2004, but had apparently put it aside to focus on developing smartphones instead.
Apple could have built a tablet back then, but the screen resolutions, chip speeds and wireless networks available would have resulted in an extremely limited experience. Apple was willing to wait.
"It shows what a long game they were playing," Howe said. "They weren't just focused on what was happening the next quarter."
The success of the iPhone then became a steppingstone to the tablet. Jobs knew that people were becoming comfortable with touch screens. And just as important, the iPhone had spawned a community of developers and an app ecosystem that dramatically expanded the utility of the devices.
Creating an emotional connection would be important for the iPad. That's because unlike the iPhone, for instance, which for most people replaced another mobile device, the tablet would be a whole new category of device.
The product had to be about more than the technical specifications. If it could create a sense of wonder and delight, then Jobs believed people would make room in their lives for a new device.
Jobs understood that consumers are not rational in their purchasing behavior, Howe said. Diamonds are just crystallized carbon, but people pay thousands of dollars for them because they signify some great emotional bond.
And so, Jobs talked about the iPad in terms of the experience, how it would make you feel, rather than trying to rationalize the amount of time or money it might save you. It would bring you more happiness; not make you more productive.
"It's not a product that solves a problem," said Jason Calacanis, CEO of app developer Mahalo and an angel investor. "It creates an opportunity. Until you use the iPad for a couple of weeks, you can't appreciate it. But it quickly becomes your primary consumption device" for games, movies and photos.
By 2009, Jobs knew the pieces were in place -- the mobile networks, the app ecosystem, the screens and chip speeds -- to create a product that would elicit that important but intangible sense of wonder and delight the moment a consumer touched it.
"Part of his brilliance was creating something that as soon as you saw it, you wanted it," Eisner said. "People fall in love with their gadgets. And you see this unusual amount of affection transferred from their love of their gadgets to the creator. You see that now in the outpouring of love and grief for the person who gave them so much happiness."

By desert bill

Good value and works well.
By RubyEagle
from Atlanta, GA
This telescoping brush with flow through made washing my 20' enclosed car trailer so much easier. The design works well and had no leaks that I was expecting. The on/off water switch is high quality and works good. The water flow wet the trailer down nicely and had good pressure to rinse. i would purchase again.
Not bad
By Bigdog916
from Elk Grove, CA
I was hasintent to purchase this item, because it was the last one. Like the soft bristles. Used it the day of purchase, it worked good. The only thing that i could find wrong with it, lost bristles.
Works okay but head becomes loose during scrubbing.
By CQ
from Wantagh, NY
The scrub head loosens during use and the connection with the hose could be tighter.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Jason Anderson">
STOCKTON - A man left a Stockton auto dealership in his new 2013 Mercedes Benz and drove less than three miles before the car was totaled in a hit-and-run collision Saturday afternoon in central Stockton.
Danny Diwa, 48, purchased the car at Berberian European Motors on West Lane. After leaving the dealership, he traveled 21/2 miles to South Airport Way when he was broadsided by a white Suzuki station wagon that ran a stop sign while going east on Washington Street, Diwa said.
The Suzuki suffered major front-end damage. Diwa said officers told him the driver of the Suzuki fought with his or her passenger before fleeing on foot. Authorities said the passenger was taken to a hospital with injuries sustained in the collision. Police could not provide a description of the driver.
Diwa was not injured, but the collision caused major damage to the passenger's side of his new car, a gray Mercedes Benz C250.
"I'm OK," Diwa said. "I'm just really stinking mad."

Magic Johnson's 20-year-old son has come out as gay.
Earvin Johnson III -- aka EJ -- is one of Johnson's three children. The NBA legend told TMZ, "Cookie and I love EJ and support him in every way. We're very proud of him."
The website showed a picture of EJ and his boyfriend, walking down Sunset Boulevard hand-in-hand.
EJ told TMZ he's been "hoping and praying" for his dad's team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, which was taken over by his father and his business partners last year.
EJ is a student at NYU and is supposedly close to his parents. In August, Magic tweeted, "Thx to my son EJ for hosting me at NYU. Look forward to taking him to dinner tonight in the city."

THIS isn't going to sit well with certain Obamaphobes:
FBI� investigators do not believe Internal Revenue Service officials committed crimes in the unusually heavy scrutiny of conservative groups that applied for tax-exempt status, a law enforcement official said Monday.
Prosecutors for the Justice Department who have been overseeing the case have not made a decision about whether to file charges against the officials � although that would seem unlikely given the F.B.I. investigators� conclusion, according to the official, speaking anonymously because he could not talk on the record about a continuing investigation.

What's the Best Exercise for Your Age?
If your typical workout routine never changes, you're missing out. Here's what you should be doing at the gym, based on your goals and your age
Your fitness fix: Work out at work.
If you're intensely focused on your career, chances are you're neglecting your exercise routine -- and you're probably getting a "desk butt." "Someone who sits for hours at a time will have tight hips and overstretched glutes," says Trink. Pagano recommends setting an alarm at your desk (try an email reminder) to go off every two hours. "You need to stretch your upper body and open up your hips," she says. Sure, your co-workers may look at you strangely, but incorporating exercise into your workday will make a huge difference in how you look and feel.
Mini exercise bands are easy to stash in your office, and they're ideal for sneaking in mid-afternoon workouts. Pagano suggests lateral and forward walking with the mini band around your knees. Don't work in the kind of office where this kind of fitness break is acceptable? Join a gym nearby and sneak in early a.m. or even lunchtime workouts.

I'm in my 20's and I think it's really important to vary your routine and only do things that you enjoy, then you're more likely to stick with it. Also changing up your routine confuses your body and you are less likely to get used to doing the same exercise over and over, then you hit a plateau and have to change your routine. Some days I do Zumba, walk my dog, cardio kick-boxing or a more intense strength training workout. Even if I'm super lazy I'll still fit in a short walk or yoga, once you get going you almost always want to continue. It's good to have a workout buddy, if you know someone is depending on you to show up, you're more likely to follow through. Also check your local parks and recreation. Often they have free classes. Mine offers free yoga and Zumba. They also have great hiking trails which are free, so no need to pay for a gym membership.

- Fully taped seams prevent moisture from infiltrating along stitching throughout the pant
- Insulated with the mid-weight warmth of 60g poly-fill to keep you warm on cold days but leave you comfortable on the warm days, too
- Nylon Tactel fabric wears comfortably and feels light while upholding durability
- Inseam vents let air circulate on warmer days
- Elastic boot gaiters with boot lace hook secure to your boot to keep snow from soaking your stoke
- Pant-to-jacket loops connect to corresponding jackets to create a snow-resistant seal
- Angled cargo pockets make it easy to access your stuff on the chair

Pretty good mid-level pant
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I only ski a few times a year, 5 tops, so I was looking for something middle of the road, and on clearance wouldnt hurt either. These are great, everything you'd expect from a pair of pants.
Size-wise, before you buy just consider this. I'm 5'10", 175#. Normally I wear a 33/34 waist and a 32 length. I ordered a medium, based on the special blend size chart. With the waist adjustments as open as they can go, they were a little snug all around (waist, legs, bum), and just slightly shorter than i'd like, barely touching the floor when standing with no shoes (I like them just a little baggy on bottom). I exchanged for a large and was perfect.
best review cuz you give references to size!! something no-one ever thinks of. thanks
