Tosh Mitsu was a broke college student with a snowboarding addiction.
Unable to afford plane tickets to his nearest ski resort in Chamonix, France, every time a respectable storm blew in, he was often left bumming rides from friends to get his fix of mountain air.
But it wasn't always easy to find a lift.
"Sometimes I was lucky, but most often not," said Mitsu, who went on to use his degree in advertising and digital arts to create MountainRideShare.com, a website dedicated to orchestrating carpools to and from ski resorts across the European continent.
"The site was created because I needed it myself at the time," he said.
Years later, Mitsu's idea is catching on in Colorado.
Websites like SkiCarpool.org and SkiLift.org make it quick and easy to organize shared rides from the Front Range to the mountains, and more and more skiers and snowboarders are taking advantage of opportunities to save money on gas, get in on resort incentives and enjoy a more social commute to the slopes.
Meanwhile, policymakers and transportation officials are seeing a more significant byproduct of the growing carpooling trend: traffic relief.
"Carpooling is one strategy that, along with other things like buses and off-peak travel, can have an impact on ... congestion," I-70 coalition chief Margaret Bowes said. "Carpooling alone isn't going to solve the problem, but as one piece of the puzzle, it can make a progression in that direction."
It seems to be working. The number of carpools organized on SkiCarpool.org and the number of skier visits are climbing, while the number of cars that passed through the Eisenhower Tunnel has declined in recent years.
"We like to think carpooling has something to do with that," Bowes said.
Reducing the number of cars on the road is one of Mitsu's goals as well. His rideshare site is not without its environmental idealism, and he's now looking to bring his model to Colorado.
"Now that it seems to be working in Europe, it would be great to promote the site in Colorado and indeed the rest of the U.S." he said. "It goes without saying that mountain resorts ... need to do what they can to reduce human impact on the environment as we depend on it for work and play."
Carpooling seems to be particularly suited to skiers and snowboarders. People who use the rideshare websites say they do so because it allows them to save money, protect the pristine mountains where they participate in the sports they love and, sometimes, meet new people with whom they'll end up skiing.
"They've been good experiences," said Dick Lynton, 67, who has used SkiCarpool.org several times over the last three years to organize rides to the mountains. "It's a waste of money and a waste of resources to drive up by yourself. And sometimes you find people to ski with. Usually I have interesting conversations, and people are good ride companions."

By Scott Sutherland
Recently, a friend who is a longtime DU staff member and volunteer saw an advertisement for a job vacancy in DU's Washington, D.C., office and called me in alarm. He was concerned that we were doing something wrong. The position description contained the words "full-time lobbyist." He insisted that DU could get into trouble if we lobbied and that it could jeopardize the organization's nonprofit status.
Sometimes we joke that DU is the conservation world's best kept secret. My friend's call gave me the chance to share what sometimes seems like a secret, but shouldn't be. Okay, are you ready for the secret, because here it comes: Ducks Unlimited has been "lobbying" almost since the organization was founded 70 years ago. Within limits, it's perfectly legal for nonprofits to lobby, and today DU expends extensive effort to work with our government to foster and fund programs that help safeguard the present and future for waterfowl.
Now let me clarify this a bit. By "lobbying," I don't mean that DU staff members are using conservation money to write $500 checks to attend political fundraisers. That's only one aspect of lobbying, and as a nonprofit, we're not allowed to do that. When we lobby, much of what we're doing is helping to educate members of congress, state legislators, and their key staffs. This has been done (although less formally) for many decades when issues important to the waterfowl resource have arisen.
A little history is in order. In the late 1980s, DU's board of directors realized how important the North American Waterfowl Management Plan was to the future of waterfowl. They wanted to encourage important decision makers to actively support it, so DU opened a Washington, D.C., office to educate Congress and others about the plan's importance and hence obtain funding for the conservation activities that would be required to reach the plan's goals. Many battles and many victories later, the governmental affairs office has become an integral part of DU, delivering opportunities to significantly fund waterfowl programs, promoting duck-friendly policies, and discouraging harmful ones.
Today, DU has a professional staff working in Washington, D.C., in the regional offices, and at headquarters that combines well over a century of experience working on Capitol Hill, on the White House staff, within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Department of Interior, and within state agencies and legislatures.
Right now, we're involved in over 30 issues that include helping to combat the most extensive wetland loss on the planet (the disappearing Louisiana coast), working to ease taxation of conservation easements, and obtaining funding that allows hunting and other active management on national wildlife refuges. And, of course, the governmental affairs office works on the critically important public policy issues with which DU members are most familiar, like the Farm Bill and North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA).
So what does this mean for the future? DU's top scientists, our conservation planners, recently looked into their biological crystal ball to see what will work best for waterfowl over the next 25 years. They have created a "vision document" that explores the question: "What will it take to keep waterfowl populations at sustainable levels into the foreseeable future and beyond?"
Their first question was, "Is current conservation work getting the job done?" We all know that DU and our partners are doing lots of good work. Together we're completing many projects, conducting significant scientific research, and achieving many important conservation accomplishments. But unfortunately, we also know that vital waterfowl habitat continues to be lost each year. So, is the conservation community just "buying time" for North America's waterfowl by slowing their eventual demise? Where will that leave us in 25 years?
One of the primary conclusions DU's planners reached is that we need to increase the energy and effort we're putting into public policy. Wonderful things get accomplished for ducks on a project-by-project basis, but by fielding a team of waterfowl activists that can help save the Conservation Reserve Program, for example, we can help maintain 8 million acres in the heart of the most important duck breeding area in the United States. Every waterfowl enthusiast must be a part of this team so that our representatives in Congress will hear a loud and unified voice on behalf of our waterfowl resource.
It's this simple: If we aren't out on that governmental advocacy "playing field" advocating for waterfowl needs, we won't be successful in securing the birds' future. All the other special-interest groups in this country are out on that governmental playing field, and if we aren't, the ducks will assuredly lose.
Now, we need to realize that a public policy effort requires some new thinking and new understanding. While we celebrate many victories in our partnership with government, we must also realize that the government is a many-headed dragon that sometimes works against itself. That may not make sense to taxpayers, but it happens every day. For example, DU works successfully to obtain federal government funds that perpetually conserve precious acres in the Prairie Pothole Region. Yet, at the same time, by dramatically raising the production goal for biofuels, the government fosters the plowing of more grassland in the same region and hence provides more competition for conservation efforts. Also, increased competition for land drives up the cost of protecting each acre.
So that's it; now you know "the secret." DU is doing lots of important work on public policy issues, and as was made clear by our senior scientists, we must do more if we are to win for the ducks.
For most of us, 25 years in the future seems a long way off. But oddly, when we think of 25 years in the past, 1982 seems like a short time ago. Think about this: We owe it to ourselves, but more importantly to our children, grandchildren, and future generations, to join together and fight to fix things. After all, the future we argue for now will be the one they will have to live with in 30 or 40 years. It's not far off. Our work now will determine the duck seasons they will have. Our work now will determine their future.
Scott Sutherland is the director of DU's governmental affairs office in Washington, D.C.

Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) troopers responded to two traffic fatalities last month in the Troop I area, which covers Phelps and five other south central Missouri counties. Both fatal crashes occurred in Phelps County in November.
Last month's total is three fewer than the number of fatalities reported in November 2011 in the Troop I area.
In November of last year, there were 191 reported crashes with 50 people injured in the Troop I area.
In November 2012, troopers in Troop I responded to 184 crashes with 64 injured.
Of that amount reported last month, 59 of those crashes occurred in Phelps County with 17 people reporting injuries.
A breakdown of the number of crashes and reported injuries in the other five counties in the Troop I area is as follows:
Crawford — 20 crashes, four injured;
Dent — 15 crashes, seven injured;
Laclede — 39 crashes, 13 injured;
Maries — 15 crashes, 12 injured; and
Pulaski — 36 crashes, 11 injured.
Capt. Lee Ann H. Kenley, commanding officer of Troop I in Rolla, reminds everyone that frost- and ice-covered windshields are common causes of some traffic crashes this time of year.
Kenley urges all drivers to properly defrost their windows before driving and to use their headlights on days that are overcast, foggy or snowing. She also reminds everyone to be aware of "black ice" during or after a snow or ice storm.

me and my family thinks they will.
They obviosuly have the talent to win it all that is not a question. I just wonder with Calipari and his nteams become undisciplined at times. I think Kansas has them because of the experince. 3 of UK's best players are freshman (bledsoe, wall, cousins) which will either make or break them come tourny time.
I agree, it is hard to lean on freshman to win the title. Melo did it with Syracuse but he had a strong supporting cast. Kentucky is young and it might hurt them come tourny time.
I dont know about Wisconsin winning it all but they are my sleeper tea. You heard it here first!
Love wisconson, Bo Ryan basketball baby, one of the best coaches in the nation.
no, Duke will
NO!!!!!!! A Surprise team Arizona State University or Duke.

Great players don't quit, but losers do- Kentuckyfan1
No way! North Carolina! KU doesnt have a chance! i bet they get as far as the elite eight and thats it! Kentucky will make it to the sweet 16, but no farther. they are young and i think that will effect them a lot.

This app looks pretty, but time and time again it has has failed me due to its bugginess. I much prefer X-Chat Aqua. Some of my colleagues have been using Adium which now has IRC support as well and say that it is very nice. Avoid this app unless they get to fixing the unreliability for long-running chat sessions.
It now has growl built-in but is still early with support. there are hidden prefs to turn on/off growl â" still the best by far for osx looking @ from a native perspective. irssi is still > * but I hate when you lose features of aqua
Does it use Growl or some custom notification system? These Growl bubbles look odd to me (not the default style) and they still show up when disabling Growl.
I would still have to say that I like Linkinus slightly more.
i've used this and it works just fine. irc is a bit complicated to grasp at first though, and i only used it to go to a help forum.
seems to be working fine for me so far :D
Personally I really dislike the Colloquy UI.
I use Colloquy every day and by and large I'm happy with it - the core interface is clean and intuitive, it gets the Cocoa feel right, and eschews a lot of the unnecessary features that get in the way with other IRC clients. But there hasn't been a single update in the 5 months I've been using it despite frequent and irritating known bugs: such as the crashers other users have mentioned and a particularly annoying one that makes channel windows appear to be completely empty until you type "/reload style" or rejoin the channel.
Besides the bugs, many parts of the app are still undercooked. The default style has a distracting fixed background image, and removing it is complicated by bugs in the style modification window (not to mention that removing it seems to trigger the aforementioned empty-window bug). The transfers window gives little control over transfers - if a transfer hangs (which happens a lot due to the pickiness of DCC), it's difficult to cancel it and it can interfere with retransfer attempts. Selecting and copying text from IRC into other applications is fiddly: Colloquy will often ignore or screw up selection attempts unless you have careful aim, and it will paste usernames as Colloquy-only links broken across several lines unless pains are taken to paste without formatting. The peripheral parts of the interface are a bit of a ghetto - the buddy list appears to have no way to remove buddies (or indeed much use at all), the connection window is obscure to find and use when you need it, the menus have options for controlling the drawer even though the drawer interface mode is disabled by default. And so on.
All of these are nitpicks, but they're things that irritate me daily. I want to continue using Colloquy and have donated, but if there's no sign of active development I will eventually move to Linkinus or another maintained client - despite the core experience being less elegant.
After using this application a little more I'm very disappointed with bugs on it. I am very heavy user of EnterTheGame network and Colloquy completely fails int his server. The ops/voices aren't detected as they should when you join a channel. Once there anyone that gets oped/voiced gets displayed correctly but everyone else has teh @ or + on their names and sorting is bad.
Also there's a horrible bug that everytime I attempt to change topic or try to remove a ban from the GUI, BAM whole thing comes crashing down :/
Nice interface, but it's a resource hog and completely collapses when you're connected to channels with high volumes of chat. Needs optimization and fine tuning.

Downward pressure from the trailer tongue and upward pressure on the spring arms activates the rotational friction sway control. The spring arms link the rotational sway control to the sway control brackets and distribute the weight of the trailer tongue. The rigidity of the sway control brackets allows the dual rotational friction sway control to hold the trailer in line behind the tow vehicle.

MANATEE COUNTY - A locksmith responding to a call was robbed at gunpoint Saturday.
The victim drove to the parking lot of Fountain Lake Condominiums, just off of 57th Avenue East, to meet the two men who called him.
While the victim was grabbing tools to enter the vehicle, one of the suspects aimed a 9mm handgun at him, demanding his money, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.
The victim handed over his wallet containing $1,400. The other man stole approximately $500 worth of tools from the victim's trunk, a report stated.

PARKERSBURG -Wood County school officials are looking into a social media video recorded at Parkersburg High School last week.
A Harlem Shake video shot at Parkersburg High School and posted to social media last week is under review from officials. The video contains some alleged inappropriate content and allegedly features a high school teacher.
Sue Woodward, assistant superintendent of Wood County Schools, said there is enough indication the Parkersburg High video may not be acceptable.
"The perception of unacceptable was there," she said. "That has to be proven or disproven and warrants further investigation."
Harlem Shake videos are the latest Internet fad. The Harlem Shake is the title of a 2012 heavy bass instrumental track produced by Baauer. It has spawned a series of dance videos that begin with a masked individual dancing alone in a group before abruptly cutting to a wild dance party featuring the entire group. Popular Harlem Shake videos on YouTube include the Norwegian Army and the Peanuts. There are thousands of versions featuring schools, towns, sports teams and colleges, including West Virginia University.
School officials became aware of the video late last week when students posted it via social media sites. Woodward said the investigation is still at the "school level," as they try to determine the who, what, where, when and why surrounding the incident.
Woodward declined to say if the video included a teacher.
"We don't know how it rose its head. We don't know who launched it.
"There are community norms for educators," she added. "And our staff all follows a code of conduct. It will have to be determined if something occurred that violated that code of conduct."
Woodward said if minors are involved, things take a different bend.
"Everything is looked at differently," she said.

The new Everglades 275 CC is at the top of her class no matter how you look at her.
Everglades now offers 13 different models. The reason that Everglades has been so fast out of the blocks and immediately rose to the top of its class in terms of quality, fit-and-finish, safety, and functionality is because the company's founders have been building center console boats for years. In the case of founder Bob Dougherty, he may be the longest center console builder -- 51 years! -- still on the job. Son Stephen Dougherty has been building center consoles for over 21 years, which would make him an old-timer as well by most peoples' standards.
Bob Dougherty, 81, still comes into the Everglades offices to check on the latest developments at the fast-paced company.
The Back Story
Bob Dougherty grew up in Boston, Ma., earned a degree in Industrial Arts and met the founder of Boston Whaler, Richard T. Fisher in 1958, the year that the company began. Dougherty quickly rose to the position of Senior Vice President and was responsible for bringing the V-bottom to the company's product line. Along the way, Bob became the boating industry's expert on positive floatation, the raison d'être of Boston Whaler.
After Fisher sold the company to a conglomerate Dougherty stayed on and was the person who kept the product's reputation strong through a series of corporate buyouts that tossed the brand around like a football. Eventually, Brunswick bought Boston Whaler, and it finally got the home it deserved with a company dedicated to the marine industry instead of empire building.
The Everglades 275 CC has a transom door that opens in for safety and a freeing port in the door that opens out to help dewater the boat quickly should it swamp. Note the thickness of the ss hardware holding the fold-out seat at right.
In 1990 Bob teamed up with his son, Stephen -- of course -- a lifelong boater, and together they started a new company called Edgewater Powerboats. Edgewater quickly became a force to be reckoned with in the center console field as 30 years of experience poured into its new products. While Bob and Stephen where the principals running Edgewater they were not the majority stock holders.
Close-up of the freeing port. A piece of rubber keeps the door closed and water pressure from the inside will open it.
In 1999 the two men rolled out on their own and started Everglades. Today Stephen Dougherty is president of Everglades.
Level Flotation is Key
The secret sauce of Boston Whaler's success has always been its level flotation. Once you have seen the picture of founder Dick Fisher wearing his sport jacket, bow tie and hat sitting nonchalantly on a small Boston Whaler cut in half, who can ever forget it? That mental image of positive flotation sticks in the consumer's brain and sells boats. It more than anything else is the reason why Boston Whaler is still the sales leader in quality center console boats after 51 years and with over 50 competitors.
This 94-quart cooler is on a base under the bait prep console abaft the helm. There are rollers on either side to make it easy to pull out. This is a new wrinkle in the 275.
The out position. The cooler locks on the centerline ss strip.
Along the way the U.S. Coast Guard mandated level positive floatation for all boats powered by a 2-hp engine or more in boats 20' or smaller. But in boats over 20', Nellie bar the door, because almost anything goes. In the words of Stephen Dougherty, boats over 20' can sink "like a rock" as there is no USCG requirement or even an ABYC Standard covering their flotation requirements.
Unfortunately, this detail is not generally known by consumers who assume if a boat has "flotation" or is "unsinkable" that it will float level. They are entirely two different things.
The RAMCAP Process
Knowing the secret sauce, the Doughertys invented a process to make it fool-proof and patented it. It is called the RAMCAP Process (Rapid Molding Core Assembly). In 1999 it was awarded the 1999 NMMA Innovation Award.
A cantilevered transom seat is not so unusual, but look at this...
...when in the closed position it opens from the bottom providing access to the "pump room," batteries, and thru-hull valves.
In a nutshell, the boat's foam core is molded separately from the hull in a shape that mirrors the interior of the hull and deck. After it is formed, cured, it is released from its mold and inspected for voids or other imperfections. The foam part is then coated with epoxy and placed in to a vacuum mold where it is joined under high pressure to the fiberglass hull and deck. The result is a chemically bonded, foam filled boat, with no voids. This foam not only floats the boat level when it is swamped, but it also adds strength to the boat's hull.

MARIETTA - With the Sunday passing of Paul G. Bertram Jr., 75, Marietta has lost a man who had a passion for his hometown and was heavily involved in government service, economic development and community work, said those who knew him.
An attorney who graduated from the University of Cincinnati College of Law in 1962, Bertram served as Marietta City Law Director in the late 1960s and the early 1970s. He retired from his practice at Bertram Law in 2009.
Following in his father's footsteps, his son, Paul G. Bertram III is currently Marietta City Law Director.
"Paul (Jr.) was a great person, and very well thought of in the community," said Mayor Joe Matthews. "Everything he was involved in he gave it 100 percent."
"Commitment, honesty, integrity, loyalty and work ethic. Those are the (qualities) that he exhibited," said his son Paul G. Bertram III, 50, of Marietta.
A vision for development was another of Bertram's unique qualities.
Fact Box
Arrangements for Bertram
11 a.m. Friday: Memorial service, First Congregational Church, Marietta.
Immediately following the memorial service, there will be a celebration of life held at the Marietta Country Club.
To send online condolences, go to cawleyandpeoples.com.
"He had a very progressive business sense, was very pro development and made a lot of good things happen here," said Councilman Michael Mullen, who served as Marietta mayor from 2004 to 2011 and also worked with Bertram on city development projects.
"Some of the prosperity we enjoy today is because people like Paul have made an investment and had a real drive to make business better," he added.
Bertram played an influential role in some 29 local businesses including Eagle Realty, CBS, Magnum Magnetics, MKB, HiVac, Metal Tech, New Weihl Olds, Double Tree, Mole Master and Quantum Leasing.
"He's left business relationships, partners and friends to carry on a lot of those businesses, to provide jobs and services to the Marietta community, area and Washington County," his son said. "Everything in his mindset was for the enrichment of this community."
Community members feel Bertram's legacy will be carried on by others in the city.
"It leaves a void (but) we are so blessed that other people will step up to fill that void," said Charlotte Keim, president/CEO of the Marietta Area Chamber of Commerce.
"I think that's what he would have wanted," she added.
Keim remembered an Easter Sunday sunrise service for First Congregational Church that was held many years at the Bertram home.
"We stood on a hill, watching the sun come up. It's one of those Easter services that I'll never forget because it was such a perfect place to have it," she said.
Paul Bertram Jr. was anxious to get back to that home after he recently left a Columbus medical facility.
"He knew he was dying and he wanted to make sure that he died in his hometown," said his son Seth M. Bertram, 37, of Marietta.
"He passed away overlooking the valley where he lived. That was very important to him," he added.
Bertram's wife, Janice, also played an important role in his life. Married for 54 years, they were also business partners. Together, they were named Business Person(s) of the Year by the Marietta Area Chamber of Commerce in 1994.
"You can't leave mother out of the picture," Paul Bertram III said. "They did everything together. ...He would not have been where he was without her."

Credit Comes to Myanmar
Originally posted on Southeast Asia Real Time.
By Shibani Mahtani
Foreign visitors to Myanmar may finally be able to start ridding their wallets of hundreds of dollars in cash in favor of plastic credit cards, as the nascent economy celebrated its first-ever point-of-sale transaction in Yangon on Thursday.
Credit card giant Visa Inc., which in December established ATM networks with selected Myanmar banks, announced its first credit-card payment at the Green Elephant Restaurant in Yangon. The restaurant will be the first of several local merchants that will start accepting Visa credit-card transactions in coming months.
The transaction was done through a Myanmar Oriental Bank Visa-branded credit card, using an electronically operated, wireless point-of-sale terminal. Until now, that had never been seen in the country, owing to harsh sanctions that prevented U.S.-based financial services from setting up shop in the country.
Foreign visitors with Visa credit, debit and prepaid cards will be able to now use these cards to pay at selected merchants through these terminals, an important step towards the inclusion of the once-isolated country in the world's financial ecosystem.
"The ability to accept electronic payments at premises [of local merchants] will open up many new opportunities for merchants to grow their businesses," said Somboon Krobteeranon, Visa's country manager for Myanmar and Thailand.

I tried the sample version of qcad and want to download the program. It appeared that the purchase would be about 50 dollars and I was in the process to do this, but then the instructions went into directions to wire money to a bank in Amsterdam, and a warning that all banking transfer fees were up to me to pay (no ideal what that would be). It also said the street address was the mailing target, but I needede to download this for immediate use.
Can this program be purchased and downloaded to my computer without the hurtles?

Pueblo City Council members went into executive session shortly after 11 Friday morning and went home just before 4:00 p.m. without reaching a decision.
City council was asking to see more emails between HR Director Marisa Walker and City Manager Jerry Pacheco. TARGET 13 is told they want to see about 200 more emails between the pair.
Council plans to have another executive session on Monday at 5 p.m. to continue going through emails and possibly reach a conclusion regarding what action to take regarding Pacheco.
Pueblo City Council members met in executive session Friday to discuss issues surrounding allegations against Pueblo City Manager Jerry Pacheco and an alleged affair with HR Director Marissa Walker.
The executive meeting, which was held behind closed doors, started shortly after 11 a.m. Friday at the interim city hall.
Council President Ray Aguilera said council went through thousands of documents, the same emails TARGET 13 went through when we began investigating.
Many of the emails provided to TARGET 13 by the city were redacted, council was allowed to see the ones that weren't blacked out.
Aguilera told TARGET 13 that he wants to do right and show the community that council is taking this matter seriously.
He stopped short of saying if council found any wrong doing. "It is still a personnel issue," Aguilera said.
Pacheco left the executive session shortly before noon with little comment on his future.
For council to push forward with an independent investigation four council members must agree.
TARGET 13 told you Monday about the 340 signatures placed on a petition demanding one by community members. Council was presented the petitions at Monday's city council meeting by Alvin Rivera.
"There is a community our here that is very concerned about what these issues will be resolved," Rivera said.
He said if council's decision is not to go ahead with an independent investigation, it would be an insult to those who stepped up and signed his petition, "Not only is it an insult to the 340 people, but the rest of the community, because it's the reset of the community that are distracted with what's happening in city government," said Rivera.
Newly elected councilman Chris Nicoll was asking for the independent investigation.
"I am hoping this matter is out of the way so we can start clean in the New Year with new issues that are affecting our city," Nicoll told TARGET 13's Tak Landrock.
Nicoll also is concerned about allegations concerning nepotism and favoritism within city government.
A judge recently ruled against the city finding there were violations of nepotism within the city manager?s office.
?It was a very one -sided decision and we?re confident we?ll win an appeal,? Pacheco said during Monday?s city council work session.
Pueblo City Manager Jerry Pacheco plans to fight a district judge?s ruling that he was guilty of nepotism and favoritism.
Pacheo added that he isn?t involved in the ?front line? hiring of employees and plans to appeal the ruling.
On Monday, several sources told TARGET 13 that Pueblo City Manager Jerry Pacheco sent members of council a letter stating the facts about the relationship between him and Walker.
Walker was one of his direct employees until TARGET 13 began asking questions about their relationship.
Pacheco told TARGET 13 that he wouldn't comment on anything involving his divorce. "I've briefed the city council and the city council knows everything that has been going on since the day after my Blackberry was stolen," Pacheco said Monday in his first on camera interview.
Pacheco has avoided any on camera interviews until TARGET 13 asked him to talk about the allegations at Monday?s council meeting.
Pacheco added that he has the same rights as any other city employee and has due process rights, including privacy rights.

Fun with Spotify Apps: Skip any song by Pitbull
Introducing "No Barking!" my first Spotify App. Instead of having to press next whenever Mr. Worldwide comes on, the App just skips ahead to the next track. I'll be submitting the application to the Spotify App Finder, but I have a feeling they won't be as enthused about the whole "skip Pitbull" idea as I am. So, in the meantime, you can download the development bundle and load it on your own computer.
You'll have to turn on "Developer Mode" for your account. Here are the quick directions for getting this app installed in Spotify:
- Sign up for a developer account on Spotify
- Open Terminal,
mkdir ~/Spotify
cd ~/Spotify
git clone git://github.com/brianshaffer/skip-pitbull-on-spotify.git
- Download the latest version of Spotify
- Open Spotify and type "spotify:app:bad-dog" in the search bar (restart Spotify completely in case it doesn't find the App at first)
BEWARE: If you get too close it'll bark at you.

OAKLAND -- It only took seconds but for Erica Brown it felt like at least a half-hour as bullets flew into a Ford Explorer she and six others were sitting in as they tried to leave a San Leandro warehouse party two years ago.
"I seen a big flash, and I heard a big boom and then I just heard the bullets hitting the car," Brown said from the witness stand. "A bunch of hard metal hitting the car, just different sounds, big booms."
When the shooting stopped, Brown said, she looked around the car and saw no one else moving.
The driver and Brown's friend Shanice Kiel, 19, was shot dead. Another friend, Leneasha Northington, 16, was also dead, lying in the back seat. And next to her, 23-year-old Joshua Alford, was dead, riddled with bullets.
"After all the shots were fired, I didn't hear any noises, I didn't hear any voices," Brown said. "I checked on Shanice, I looked in the back and no one was responding."
Alameda County prosecutors have accused three Oakland men and one Fairfield man of killing the three people. The men are also charged with attempted murder for trying to kill Brown and four others who were also sitting in the SUV after an Oct. 2, 2011, "tattoo party" in a San Leandro warehouse ended.
Brown described what she saw and identified one of the accused shooters Wednesday during a preliminary hearing in which a prosecutor must convince a judge that there is enough evidence to send the four defendants before a jury on special circumstances murder charges.
"I saw a man standing there, a dark hoodie pulled over his head with dreads hanging," Brown said as she described a shooter who prosecutors have said is 22-year-old Paul Arthur Stevenson, of Oakland. "You could see his eyes and his nose. There was a look in his eyes, it was eerie."
Brown, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, said she had no time to react after seeing the man because he began to fire his gun immediately. While he was firing, Brown said, she heard another gun firing into the back right passenger area of the car.
In addition to Stevenson, the Alameda County District Attorney's Office has charged Anthony Alvin Perry II, 22, and Stanley Leon Turner, 20, both of Oakland, and Aaron Isaiah Stewart, 20, of Fairfield, with three counts of murder and four counts of premeditated attempted murder. Each charge includes a special circumstance which makes each defendant eligible for the death penalty.
Prosecutors allege that Perry, Stewart and Stevenson fired guns at the Ford Explorer and that Turner provided at least one weapon and helped the four flee the crime scene after the shootings.
Brown said she had no idea why she and her friends were targeted, but said she knew something was going wrong when they tried to leave the party and a white car drove up behind the Ford Explorer and blocked it from leaving its parking space.
Within seconds, Brown said, she heard people screaming and saw them running and then she saw the man with the eerie look in his eyes standing in front of the driver's side window.
Then the gunfire began.
"It felt like 35 minutes," said Brown, who suffered bullet wounds to the chest and colon.
The preliminary hearing is scheduled to resume Aug. 16 at René C. Davidson Courthouse.

"People have found us using TripAdvisor," said David Rutecki, owner of Mountain Deli on Main Street in Hendersonville.
His deli was one of about 50 Henderson County hotels, attractions and eateries that earned TripAdvisors' 2013 Certificate of Excellence award.
TripAdvisor features user reviews and advice on hotels, resorts, flights, vacation rentals and packages, and more. The certificate is given to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveler reviews on the website.
"We are pretty excited," Rutecki said. "It is great that we are recognized in that way."
The Inn on Church also made the list, and owner Joe Carlton says TripAdvisor is a useful website for vacationers.
"People absolutely look at those reviews and rely on those reviews," said Carlton, who co-owns the inn with his wife, Stephanie.
"It is a really good outlook for customers, whether returning or new," Carlton said.
To qualify for the Certificate of Excellence, businesses must maintain an overall rating of 4 or higher, out of a possible 5, as reviewed by travelers on TripAdvisor. Additional criteria include the volume of reviews received within the past 12 months.
Henderson County Tourism Development Authority officials are pleased to see more than 50 businesses on TripAdvisor's certificate list.
"We have such wonderful properties and businesses in Henderson County," said Assistant Director Karen Baker. "It is great publicity."
She said people check out the website before a vacation or weekend getaway, much as they do with AAA.
"It is just another tool to advise people what they are looking for," Baker said. "It is like a seal of approval."

The Advisory Board of the National Zoo was established by the Smithsonian Institution's Board of Regents to provide advice and support to the National Zoo. It assists the Zoo director on major issues of concern with the Zoo's operation and helps to raise funds to support Zoo programs. The board also assists in promoting the Zoo's activities locally, nationally, and internationally. Members are those who have an interest in zoos, conservation and biological education.
Friends of the National Zoo (FONZ) is governed by a Board of Directors whose members are elected by FONZ members. Officers of the Board are elected by members of the Board. Members are elected to serve three-year terms and may serve no more than two consecutive terms.
Our volunteer Board plays an essential role in FONZ leadership, and its members bring skills, experience, and talents to assist our partnership efforts with the Zoo. Much of the Board's work is accomplished through committees.
The Board's standing committees include the Executive Committee, the Finance and Audit Committee, the Board Oversight and Nominating Committee, and the Fundraising and Development Committee. The Board also has three strategic plan committees that work with the implementation of the FONZ strategic plan:

Special interest plates highlight state's efforts
QUESTION: I think the DMV should offer a breast cancer license plate as one of the special interest license plates. Is this something the DMV would consider?
ANSWER: That is a great idea! However, the DMV does not have the power to decide which plates can be established. An organization must first get a state agency sponsorship of the proposed license plate. The plate design must contain a message that publicizes or promotes a state agency or the official policy, mission or work of a state agency. At least 7,500 pre-ordered applications for that special interest plate must be received by the department before a new special license plate can be created.
I went to get a smog check for my car and it passed, but the DMV contacted me saying they never received a certificate. Now what do I do?
You can ask the smog shop to resend the certificate to the DMV, but be sure that they have all the correct vehicle information. You can also take the smog test results document into the DMV yourself (appointment suggested). For more information about smog checks: www.DMV.ca.gov/vr/smogfaq.htm.
Can I take the driving test before I take my written exam?
No. It is required that you pass your written exam before you can take the driving test. This is to ensure that you know the rules of the road before you get behind the wheel. Info: www.DMV.ca.gov/pubs/brochures/fast_facts/ffdl22.htm.
I just turned 16 and am now a licensed driver. I was planning on applying as a pizza delivery person, but my mom said that I can't be a delivery person until I'm 18. Is this true?
Yes. Provisional drivers under 18 years of age cannot be employed to drive a motor vehicle. Once you turn 18, provisional restrictions will no longer apply, so you can apply for jobs that require you to drive! Info: www.DMV.ca.gov/dl/dl_info.htm#FIRSTYEAR.
How long do points stay on my driving record?
Collisions and traffic offenses stay on your record for three years. However, hit and runs, reckless driving and DUIs will remain on your record for 10 years.
Save time, go online to make an appointment at the DMV: www.dmv.ca.gov.

Notification system for OS X apps.
Growl is a notification system that allows any application to send it a notification, and then it displays it. You can (for example) be notified that you have new email, or that a download completed, etc.
Support for Applescript, Perl, Python, TCL, Cocoa, Carbon, Ruby and more being added.
Required OS: 10.7
Tags: notifications , adium , system , preference , pane
62 Opinions
I'd like to have more control over how long the notifications stay on your screen, and whether they require a click or just a mouseover to dismiss them.
Uninstalling solved the problem to my previous issue. I was just afraid it'd lose the preferences for my Growl-able apps. Scheme and applications were intact upon uninstall and install of 1.1.1, though.
Do I need to uninstall first in order to upgrade to 1.1.1? I've downloaded and installed 1.1.1, but it still says I'm using 0.7.6.
There are two apps that Apple should have come up with: Growl and Quicksilver. It would be great if they actually bought Growl and included it in the next OS release! (No chance for QS I guess, since Apple thinks they have that functionality in Spotlight - altough they don't.)
Download it already! XD
This app is one of the things that make you proud of using a Mac and makes the people that are
still stuck with Windows cry from envy.
This is a must have. It is one of the applications that reminds why you switched to the Mac.
Application Still in 0.7.6 for me too.
Application Still in 0.7.6 version NOT IN 0.76

The ringing of school bells and the promise of cooler temperatures indicate fall is in the air as plans are made for the 13th annual Clinch River Antiques Festival, presented by the Anderson County Chamber of Commerce. The Festival takes place in Historic Downtown Clinton and the Festival kickoff begins on Friday, Oct. 11, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. in the Hoskins/Lane Park, where the Chamber's Leadership Anderson County Class of 2014, will host live music. Market Street antique and specialty shops (100+ dealers) will open their doors along with restaurants and food vendors.
The Antique Street Festival takes place on Saturday, Oct. 12, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., when more than 80+ antique dealers and artisans from across the region line Market and Cullom Streets. In addition to local shopping, beautiful antique cars, antique tractors, live entertainment, food vendors, antique appraisers and the historical re-enactment of the Burr-Hamilton Duel on Market Street.
The Clinton Antique Mall, 317 N. Main Street, Clinton, will feature national professional antique appraisers Joe Rosson and Rick Crane on Saturday, Oct. 12, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Both will be appraising antiques simultaneously with charges of $5 per item. They do not appraise Oriental carpets, weapons and firearms and fine jewelry. Rosson is an antique consultant and appraiser with over 25 years of experience and is a co-host on the PBS television series "Treasures in Your Attic." He has written an antique column in the Knoxville News Sentinel since 1992 and has written articles for "Country Living" and "Country Home" magazines. Crane, who founded Estate Sales by Rick Crane, is a nationally recognized consultant in antique glass as well as a specialist in porcelain, glassware, prints and miscellaneous items. Both Rosson and Crane have extensive backgrounds in evaluating estates, including the estates of President Andrew Johnson and author Alex Haley.
Again this year history can be found in more than just antiques; history will come to life through a re-enactment of the 1804 duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton. Burr, first term Vice President under Thomas Jefferson, shot Hamilton, United States Secretary of the Treasury, in a duel fueled by years of animosity between the political rivals and personal enemies.
While a duel fought in New Jersey between two national leaders may seem to have little connection to Clinton, festival-goers will learn its' significance to Clinton's history as they watch the duel play out and learn how the town of Burrville became today's Clinton. The re-enactment is scheduled for 12:30 p.m.
The Clinch River Antiques Festival has grown in its reputation among antique dealers and collectors, but it has become so much more than just a well-known antique show. The festival has become a time for the community to gather in celebration of Clinton's unique character, for old friends to mingle on the streets and welcome another fall to Anderson County.
Page 2 of 2 - This is an event you do not want to miss. Chamber President Jackie Nichols said, "The Anderson County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to be a part of a festival that continues to grow beyond our expectations. We expect over 10,000 for this year's event." Admission and parking are free.
The festival is presented by the Anderson County Chamber of Commerce and the City of Clinton and is sponsored by Regions Bank, Tennova Healthcare and Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge. For additional information call the Chamber at (865) 457-2559 or visit www.clinchriverfallfestival.com.

ALAMEDA -- The ascension of Menelik Watson to starting left tackle of the Raiders is part desperation and part necessity.
A second-round draft pick out of Florida State, Watson will get what offensive coordinator Greg Olson called a "baptism by fire" in the loudest environment in the NFL when the Raiders visit the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night at CenturyLink Field.
Watson, who played at Saddleback College with Kyle Long, the son of Raiders Hall of Fame defensive lineman Howie Long, has been at CenturyLink before when it was much quieter.
"I spoke to Howie Long, and he was telling me about it," Watson said. "It's a loud venue. I got to see it coming out of junior college on my visit to Washington. It should be interesting."
Raiders coach Dennis Allen said Watson, along with quarterback Terrelle Pryor and cornerback D.J. Hayden, will remain in the exhibition finale with the second team after most of the starters have departed.
"He hasn't taken a snap in a game situation and he needs all the work he can get," Allen said.
Watson was considered a raw prospect coming out of the draft because he only played 19 football games at Saddleback and Florida State, all as a right tackle. He was late to football, originally playing college basketball at Marist College.
A calf injury kept Watson out of all of training camp except for a few drills, during which time he aggravated the injury. He finally got on the field for team sessions last Wednesday.
With Jared Veldheer out following left triceps surgery and veteran Alex Barron getting starts against New Orleans and Chicago, the Seattle game provides the only opportunity to see what Watson can do heading into the season opener Sept. 8 at Indianapolis.
"The question is whether or not time is on your side in getting a good evaluation, and the only way we're going to get that evaluation is to let him play," line coach Tony Sparano said.
Watson has so little experience that Sparano believes the problems associated with a switch from right tackle to left tackle are minimized "because he doesn't have a history. His bad habits are easy to break."
Having grown up in Manchester, England, Watson played soccer before gravitating to basketball. He even dabbled in boxing before being talked into playing football.
Watson has uncommon footwork for someone who is 6-foot-4 and 315 pounds.
Because of what Sparano calls "left tackle qualities" related to Watson's athleticism, the Raiders discussed in the offseason giving him time on the left side. That way he could be a swing tackle who could play on the left side if Veldheer went down and compete to start on the right side.
The process has been accelerated because of Watson's extended absence and Veldheer's injury.
"It's very technical, and things happen a lot quicker on the left," Watson said. "Obviously, it's the blind side, so you have to be double about your wits."
Cornerback Joselio Hanson (groin) and running back Latavius Murray (ankle) were placed on the injured reserve list, meaning neither can play for the Raiders this season. Cornerback Mitchell White was waived.
Hanson had an interception in the Raiders' 34-26 exhibition loss to Chicago, but came out of the game with the injured groin. Allen said an MRI determined it to be a "significant" injury.
Murray, slow to recover from recent arthroscopic surgery on his ankle, remains property of the Raiders and can make another run at the roster starting next offseason. He was a fifth-round draft pick out of Central Florida who had eight carries for 29 yards in the exhibition opener against Dallas. He didn't play against New Orleans or Chicago.

Roger Federer beats Mikhail Youzhny to win Halle title (BBC Sport)
It is the first time since 2007 that Federer has come back from a set down in the semis and final to triumph at an ATP World Tour event. "I have won a lot in my career but not recently," said world number three Federer, whose last tournament win came in Cincinnati. "I was satisfied with my game in the past 10 months. Maybe people thought I was playing badly but that was not the case. "I was playing well but when it mattered the others were just better. Today it worked well."
Roger Federer comes back against Mikhail Youzhny to win in Halle (The Guardian)
Before beating Mikhail Youzhny for the 15th time in a row to lift his sixth Gerry Weber Open in Halle, Roger Federer said: "Winning tournaments is everything." It was a Bob Paisley-esque evocation to tempt fate and the Swiss delivered. Federer overcame an uncertain start to win 6-7, 6-3, 6-4 in just over two hours and he is in good, although not devastating, shape to defend his title at Wimbledon. Whether or not he can reproduce his German form in London is uncertain because the familiar contenders grouped around the world No3 at the summit of the game are probably playing more consistent high-end tennis.
Federer claims sixth Halle crown (Fox News)
Federer lost to Rafael Nadal in his other final this year last month in Rome. He was a quarterfinal loser to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga last weekend at the French Open, but was able to turn around his season on his favorite surface. Grass has always suited Federer well. Seven of his record 17 Grand Slam titles have come on the famed lawns of Wimbledon, where he will return later this month as defending champion. Federer, who is now 6-2 in title matches in Halle, improved to 121-17 on grass.
Roger Federer ends victory drought (Los Angeles Times)
Roger Federer found the perfect place to end his title drought — a small town in western Germany that has a big tennis stadium and a street named Roger-Federer-Allee leading to it.
Can't wait for the 78th title win <3 :). #allez
All the very best for SW19 and retaining your Wimbledon title - you can do it!
best wishes to you and your lovely family,
good luck for Wimbledon, bless u & yr family. Allez ...
JUST everything right about these words. Very you. Very Perfect. Go Roger. My prayers and well wishes are for you for Wimbledon. The winner of that finals match will be you.


text: The festival of lights has begun, and we here at Networx couldn't be more excited. (We hear there's also some other holiday today involving chasing turkeys around a football field, but we wouldn't know anything about that.) First of all, we're getting eight days of presents (can anyone say gelt?). See full article.

Brees and family to appear on CBS 'Person to Person"
Published: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 6:36 a.m.
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and his wife, Brittany, will bring a little more exposure for their adopted hometown on the Friday after Thanksgiving, when CBS profiles the couple on a primetime network special, "Person to Person."
Brees and his wife will be featured, giving viewers a tour of their Uptown home, on the interview show hosted by Charlie Rose and Lara Logan, which is modeled on the Edward R. Murrow program of the same name from the 1950s.
Also featured in the episode -- airing at 9 p.m. Nov. 23 on WWL-TV and CBS -- will be singer Alicia Keys and actor Sean Penn.
"Brees, the Super Bowl-winning quarterback of the New Orleans Saints, and his wife Brittany take viewers inside their New Orleans home. Viewers will also meet the Brees' three children," says a CBS press release.
"Set to be broadcast the night after Thanksgiving, 'Person to Person' will give these top newsmakers a chance to talk about what their most important places mean to them and to share life-changing stories with viewers."
