The federal government is legally barring a Michigan company from selling medical devices used in heart surgery, following years of quality control problems at company facilities.
The Food and Drug Administration says it signed a permanent injunction with Terumo Cardiovascular Systems and two executives that bars them from making or distributing heart-lung bypass systems. The devices are used to circulate blood during chest surgery.
Terumo agreed to pay $35 million in back profits from the sale of its devices.
Last March, FDA inspectors reported more than a dozen quality control violations at the company's plant in Ann Arbor. The company was cited for similar problems in 2004 and 2006.
The FDA said it is not recalling Terumo's products from the market because of concerns about a shortage of the machines.

WASHINGTON (December 21, 2012)--President Barack Obama announced Friday he has nominated Sen. John Kerry as his next secretary of state, saying Kerry's entire life "has prepared him for this role."
If confirmed, the Massachusetts Democrat would succeed Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in Mr. Obama's second-term Cabinet.
Clinton did not attend the Roosevelt Room announcement because she's still recovering from a concussion sustained in a fall.
Mr. Obama said Kerry's political career and service has established him as a respected American voice around the globe.
He said Kerry will not need on-the-job training.
Kerry has served as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and is a decorated Vietnam veteran who was critical of the war effort when he returned home to the U.S.
He has represented Massachusetts in the Senate since 1985.
He should win easy approval for the Cabinet post from his longtime Capitol Hill colleagues.
Kerry leaped to the front of Mr. Obama's list for the State Department job after U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice withdrew her name from consideration last week.

Adopts Concluding Observations on Reports of Ukraine, Tajikistan, Indonesia, Finland, Albania, and Czech Republic
The Human Rights Committee today concluded its one hundredth and eighth session after adopting its concluding observations and recommendations on the reports of Ukraine, Tajikistan, Indonesia, Finland, Albania, and Czech Republic on their implementation of the provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. During the session the Committee discussed its methods of work, adopted a paper on the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on new communications and interim measures, a paper on case management on dealing with concluding observations and guidelines on follow-up to concluding observations, and adopted all the recommendations set out in the report of the Committee's retreat in The Hague, including the Guidelines on the Independence and Impartiality of members of the human rights treaty bodies. The Committee continued its discussion on a draft General Comment on Article 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, on the right of everyone to liberty and security of person. The draft General Comment, prepared by Committee Expert Gerald Neuman, includes 71 articles out of which 31 paragraphs have been adopted subject to amendments. In closed meetings, the Committee also heard from United Nations organizations, specialized agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and national human rights institutions concerning the situation in the countries under review; and dealt with 17 communications, adopting two inadmissibility decisions, 14 decisions on merits and declaring one case discontinued. The Committee also adopted lists of issues on six State parties that will be examined during its next session, Chile, Malawi, Chad, Kyrgyzstan, Sierra Leone and Nepal; as well as a report on follow-up to views, presented by the Special Rapporteur. Nigel Rodley, Chairperson of the Committee, in closing remarks, said that for the first time the Committee had adopted six concluding observations on the reports of Albania, Czech Republic, Finland, Indonesia, Tajikistan and Ukraine, and which had been made public at a press conference on Thursday, 25 July. It had been a challenge to ensure that all draft concluding observations were translated in time for adoption. The Committee had also held a successful meeting with States parties, attended by representatives from 61 States and around 20 NGOs. Efforts had been made to improve the media's awareness of the work of the Committee, a substantial number of articles had been published on all six States parties under review, and two interviews with treaty bodies had been requested. In October, Mr. Rodley would address the United Nations General Assembly and refer to the request for additional resources and meeting time contained in the annual report. The Chairperson also hoped that the treaty body strengthening process in New York would be concluded within the next few months.The unedited versions of the concluding observations on the reports of the countries reviewed during this session are available on the Committee's website.The countries examined are among the 167 States parties to the Covenant, adopted in 1966 by the General Assembly. The Committee, as a monitoring body, periodically examines reports submitted by States parties on the promotion and protection of civil and political rights. Representatives of these Governments introduce the reports and respond to oral and written questions from the Committee.Under the Optional Protocol to the Covenant, 114 States parties recognize the competence of the Committee to consider confidential communications from individuals claiming to be victims of violations of any rights proclaimed under the treaty. At present, 380 communications are pending before the Committee. Seventy-five States parties have ratified or acceded to the Second Optional Protocol to the Covenant, which also aims to abolish the death penalty.The one hundredth and ninth session of the Human Rights Committee will be held from 14 October to 1 November, in Geneva, when it is scheduled to review the reports of Bolivia, Djibouti, Mauritania, Mozambique, United States and Uruguay.

Tara Reid will not appear in the sequel to "Sharknado."
That's right -- Tara Reid can't even get hired to appear in the second installment of a story about man-eating sharks being whipped around by bad weather.
Sources connected to the film directed by Antioch native Anthony C. Ferrante told TMZ that producers have decided they don't want Reid back for the New York-based sequel. The film's other star, king shark-killer Ian Ziering, will be back, TMZ said.
Reid played Ziering's estranged wife in the original. No reasons were given for her dismissal.
Sources told TMZ both actors made around $50,000 for the first film.
Reid took to Twitter to deny the reports she was not asked to return for the sequel.
"There is no script for sharknado 2 until i read it then i will make a decision but everyone that is saying i got cut that is not true #liars," she wrote.
"Sharknado 2" is set for a summer 2014 release.

TD Bank robbed
Published: Sunday, September 8, 2013 at 5:41 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, September 8, 2013 at 5:41 p.m.
Henderson County detectives are on the hunt for a man who robbed a TD Bank off Four Seasons Boulevard just before closing Saturday.
A man "fully covered from head to toe," including a black face mask and latex gloves, left the bank at 201 Wren Drive just before 3 p.m. with an undetermined amount of money, said Maj. Frank Stout of the Henderson County Sheriff's Office.
The robber displayed no weapon, Stout said, and no customers were in the bank at the time. The bank closes at 3 p.m. on Saturdays, according to its website.
Anyone with information about the robbery is urged to call Henderson County Crimestoppers at 828-697-7867.

Washburn University recently concluded two donation drives to benefit the Topeka community. The annual campus-wide Toys for Tots collection brought in more than $1,000 and 500 toys for area children and the Ichabod Shop generated 10 boxes of gently used clothing and shoes for the Topeka Rescue Mission with its Trade WU for New sale.
The Toys for Tots drive kicked off in early December and concluded Friday with a total of 508 toys and $1,030. This well surpassed the 2011 collection of 386 toys and $606.63 and the goal set by the committee of 400 toys and $1,000. Last year, the United States Marine Corps Reserve presented Washburn University a Commander's Award for its collection efforts.
Collection boxes were placed in 23 locations around campus as well as at Washburn Institute of Technology. Students participated as well. The social work student organizations held a fundraiser that brought together in-home sales vendors and a local barbecue restaurant at a local church for an afternoon of holiday shopping. They raised $250. Another student coordinated a collection at her off-campus job that netted 55 toys.
Staff Sergeant William Schneider, coordinator of the local Toys for Tots effort, and Sergeant Nick Jaqua, both of the General Support Ammunition Platoon stationed in Topeka, attended Washburn's faculty and staff holiday party Dec. 13. Marines also attended an Ichabods and Lady Blues basketball game that included a donation. The Marines distribute the toys to local families.
The third annual Trade WU for New event ran for much of November at the Ichabod Shop, in the lower level of the Memorial Union. Anyone who brought in gently used clothing items for the Topeka Rescue Mission received a discount on new Washburn imprinted merchandise. Kevin Beebe, course materials coordinator, said the first year netted one box for the mission. He delivered 10 boxes to the mission's warehouse on Friday afternoon.
"It's grown every year," he said.Both collection efforts support local Topeka-area residents and are planned for 2013.

STOCKTON – A SWAT team took about 25 minutes going through the home in the 400 block of West Bianchi Road that was the site of a shooting this morning before determining the suspect was not inside.
Between 15 and 18 SWAT members and one police dog entered the building around 11:15 a.m. but found no suspect. He is believed to be armed and dangerous.
Police said the suspect, one of three residents of the house, fired once from a shotgun, and the spray hit the other housemates, a man and a woman, who both are being treated for their injuries. The woman was found on the front lawn of the home next door to where the three lived, police said.
Although the police had brought in a team to evacuate nearby residences, they determined evacuation would not be necessary, according to Officer Joe Silva, a Stockton Police spokesman.
It is unclear what led to the shooting, but the girlfriend of the suspect told police she was at the house in the morning when a conflict developed. She left before the shooting erupted.
Neighbors appeared shocked over the turn of events on a stretch of Bianchi Road that is quiet and seldom sees violence that sometimes occurs on other stretches of the road. This portion, just east of Pacific Avenue in central Stockton, is lines with detached single-story homes with maintained yards.

Stream "High Hopes" in its entirety at cbs.com.
To Bruce Springsteen, the extensive trial-and-error he was known for in the '70s and '80s must feel more like a luxury at age 63 than it did at 27. �The light from the oncoming train focuses the mind,� he recently told Rolling Stone.
Hence �High Hopes,� an album on which Springsteen eschews his legendary thematic perfectionism and instead revisits outtakes and discarded tracks from the last decade-plus, many of them with Rage Against the Machine guitarist and E Street Band understudy Tom Morello. The result is an album that undeniably rocks, but lacks the through-line that makes some of Springsteen�s albums so powerful and accessible.
For this collection, you�ve got to meet Springsteen halfway: If you wanna play, you gotta pay. In the end, though, it�s worth the price, even if it takes a while to find that out.
The title track, a cover of a late-�80s Tim Scott McConnell track, is sort of an inauspicious start — it takes good advantage of the percussion- and horn-driven sound the ESB perfected on the �Wrecking Ball� tour, but doesn�t say anything Springsteen hasn�t already said better himself. And �Just Like Fire Would,� originally by Australian rockers The Saints, is similarly superfluous — it may stand up well as a Jukes-ready barroom rocker, but it feels like a B-side in search of a single.
As for Springsteen originals, the �Rising� outtake �Down In The Hole� is affecting, but its post-9/11 themes of loss and heartbreak, along with a familiar mournful organ line provided by the late Danny Federici, make it feel like it was extricated from that album and just grafted on here. As for �American Skin,� it�s just as striking as the live version, but ultimately feels vaguely unnecessary.
The standout from the album�s first half is definitely �Harry�s Place,� Springsteen�s most vivid character study in years, about a badass small-time crime boss and the lives he ruins. It�s gritty as all get out — it�s the first Springsteen lyric to drop the F-bomb in a �sexually derived� context, as the MPAA would say — and it�s relentlessly cynical, at least for Springsteen: �If he didn't exist, it'd all go on just the same,� the jaded narrator declares, and it�s a moment of icy brilliance.
But when �High Hopes� hits the midway mark with �Heaven�s Wall� — a chugging Gospel shouter whose Biblical references lack the context of �Rocky Ground� or the romance of �I�ll Work For Your Love� — it�s feeling like the album might grind to a halt before it ever really gets going. Fortunately, on the second half Springsteen gets in a groove with a series of mostly stellar tracks that feel like part of a real album, not a collection of outtakes.
It starts with �Frankie Fell In Love,� a sly, playful bouncer that pits Einstein against Shakespeare in a head-heart battle in which Al�s doomed from the start. The lyrics are both fun and funny — �From here on in we're eating takeout, she ain't gonna be cooking for the likes of us,� says the lovestruck heroine�s brother — and the vibe�s infectious.
�This Is Your Sword,� a fatherly-advice song with a robust, Celtic-tinged arrangement reminiscent of much of �Wrecking Ball,� is the catchiest on the album. More importantly, Springsteen hits his theme of love�s redemptive powers with just the right mixture of sincerity and uplift, turning a potentially cheesy extended metaphor into an arena-friendly rallying cry.
Even better is �Hunter of Invisible Game,� another allegorical track that tackles an aging man�s struggle with mortality and existential dread. It�s not as dark as it sounds: Blessed with a lilting melody and supple vocal work by Springsteen, it faces the battle with an underlying celebration of mature love�s importance in a crazy world — �I feel you breathing, the rest is confusion� — and of a life well lived. It�s moving and ultimately beautiful.
The most striking song on the album, though, is �The Wall,� a wrenching monologue from a narrator still struggling with the loss of a friend in Vietnam. �This black stone and these hard tears, they�re all I got left now of you,� he says to his friend�s name inscribed on the Vietnam War Memorial. Sung elegiacally, more resigned than angry, the singer�s sorrow and helplessness are blisteringly visceral.
Meanwhile, on the eight tracks where he�s featured, Morello�s guitar work provides a tough edge that sets the record apart from anything Springsteen�s done before. And for the most part, it works beautifully — it�s really the only raison d'etre for the studio version of �American Skin,� and adds a funky, wah-wah underworld vibe to �Harry�s Place,� counterpointing perfectly with the Clarence Clemons sax track laid down years ago.
The only time Morello takes it over the top is on the reworked �Ghost of Tom Joad� duet, where the space alien machine gun sound effects he trotted out for the live version are recreated note for note, an odd choice for a studio track. Still, the raw power of his delivery suits the indignation behind the lyrics, still some of Springsteen�s best.
The album ends with Suicide�s �Dream Baby Dream,� which Springsteen took to covering during the �Devils & Dust� tour in 2005. It fares better than �American Skin,� even if it doesn�t deviate much from the previously released live version — Springsteen�s hypnotic take is somehow even more mesmerizing in producer Ron Aniello�s echoey studio soundscape.
In fact, by the time that track draws to its haunting conclusion, you�ll likely find that despite the rocky start, the album�s familiar themes of hope, redemption and love�s ability to trump adversity have worked their magic the way they do on any good Springsteen release. The power and pleasures of �High Hopes� may not hit you like a wrecking ball — but that doesn�t mean they�re not there.

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) Two fires have been reported on the remote training range of a Central Texas military installation and the odor has drifted as far south as Austin.
The Austin American-Statesman (http://bit.ly/1ekOW8O ) reports the Fort Hood fires continued burning Wednesday.
Fort Hood officials say both fires ignited during training Tuesday when soldiers set off incendiary rounds.
Spokesman Chris Haug says military officials will decide whether to cancel training because of conditions favorable to fires.
Military firefighters worked to put out the blazes, including one that's about 200 acres. Details weren't immediately available on the second fire. A message left with Fort Hood wasn't immediately returned Wednesday.
Austin firefighter Bo Allen says there's a strong smell of smoke and it's coming from Fort Hood. Austin is about 60 miles south of the post.

CORPUS CHRISTI – Head Coach Willis Wilson and the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's basketball staff will team up with ON THE LINE to help support prostate cancer awareness and education at Wednesday night's game against UTSA at the American Bank Center. The Islanders' coaches will wear blue bow ties for the contest, which tips off at 7 p.m. on Stripes Court.
ON THE LINE and the Black Coaches & Administrators (BCA) have proclaimed this week as "Statement Week." Wilson is one of nearly 100 African American Division I coaches to show their support and help raise awareness about prostate cancer this week. Statement Week is designed to encourage African American men to not only learn the risk factors of prostate cancer, but also how to communicate with loved ones and physicians about their health.
"Obviously this is a cause that I am more than happy to help support," Wilson said. "Prostate cancer effects one in five African American men, and that's a number that can't be ignored. I'm glad to be a part of the group of coaches who are taking part in this."
Wilson and the Islanders will look to sweep the season series with the Roadrunners on Wednesday night, having posted a 50-49 victory over UTSA in San Antonio on Jan. 11. The game will also be the second "Los Islanders" game, as $3 of every regular-price single-game ticket sold will benefit the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
About ON THE LINE:
ON THE LINE harnesses the power of sports and celebrities to raise awareness that one in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime and challenges men to take charge of their health. ON THE LINE strives to empower men and their loved ones by providing the resources needed for them to take charge of their health at all stages of the journey, from understanding the risk factors to diagnosis and treatment.
The ON THE LINE campaign draws on the expertise of an independent panel of prostate cancer physicians from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the world's leading professional organization representing doctors who care for people with cancer. ASCO's expert panel provided the core clinical prostate cancer information, which serves as the basis for the campaign content. ON THE LINE has also enlisted teammates ZERO — The Project to End Prostate Cancer, Us TOO International Prostate Cancer Education & Support Network, Prostate Conditions Education Council (PCEC), and the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) to serve as local and community resources and networks.

Hi all, I really hope someone can help me as this is driving me crazy.
I've been using PS3 Media Server for a few years now with minimal to no problem but it has become really flaky for me the last few months no matter what version I run and network setup I use. It just seemed to start one day and nothing I've done has been able to fix it/make it reliable again.
Essentially I cannot get our wired network to play any content smoothly. I've tried both 100mbit from our router and also added a gigabit switch to no avail. It's a freezing slideshow non-stop whether a dvd rip, 720p or 1080i file of varying file types.
Switching to wireless and I have been able to make content play smoothly but every second day the server will not detect any renderers no matter what I do.
Our setup:
My serving PC is a 5GHz quad core, 16gb ram, ATI 7970 video card, gigabit lan and 802.11n spec wireless usb, Win 7 64-bit, PS3 Media Server v1.82 (but have tried many different versions)
Network - iiNet Bob2 modem/router (100mbit capable and N spec wireless) > PS3 (via cat5e cable) > My above PC (I've tried both cat5e and N spec wireless usb) > TP-Link TL-SG1008D Gigabit switch (I also tried a Netgear GS105 Gigabit switch but this didn't help) (I've had the PS3 plugged both directly into the Bob2 router and into the switch with no success)
I have disabled our router firewall and allowed PS3 Media Server on my PC's firewall all to no avail.
Tonight I was able to have our Samsung TV find the PS3 Media Server and stream 1080i content fine. The PS3 however was a slideshow. What could be causing these issues?
I've forced PS3 Media Server to run through my PC IP and can ping my PS3 fine. I have my max bandwidth at 150Mb/s and Transcode buffer size of 400Mb (but have tried different numbers for both of these too).
My debug log reproducing the problem is saved here: http://pastebin.com/HrhYk175
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Statement by Mr. Supachai Panitchpakdi
First BioTrade Congress - Biodiversity: The life of the Green Economy
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
17 juin 2012
Distinguished guests,
Ladies and gentlemen,
Good morning. It is a pleasure for me to welcome you on behalf of UNCTAD to the opening of the First BioTrade Congress: "Biodiversity - The Life of the Green Economy".
Biodiversity is the natural capital base for a sustainable and greener economy; its preservation and responsible exploitation offer humanity both ecological and economic benefits. Biodiversity components, both at the species and genetic levels, are a direct source of food, medicine, recreation and raw materials in general, some of which are consumed directly, while others are inputs to various industries.
As we seek to better balance growth and poverty-reduction with the conservation of the planet's biodiversity, the sustainable harvest and manufacture of biodiversity-based products and their trade can play a prominent role in the transition to a green economy. The current draft of the Rio+20 Summit outcome document duly reflects this role and aspiration.
Many Member States have been calling for the full implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity's (CBD) objectives and the Aichi Targets in order to achieve progress on biodiversity preservation - an objective also identified by the Millennium Development Goals. Several Member States have insisted on the need to promote investment in this area to accelerate the transition to a green economy and provide incentives and support to private firms to develop green technology, products and services, including through the liberalisation of trade in environmental goods and services. UNCTAD has highlighted in its 2009 Trade and Development Report and its 2010 World Investment Report how transitioning to a green economy can be supported by government and international policies that promote new green growth models.
The responsible economic exploitation of biodiversity, and its contribution to inclusive growth and sustainable consumption and production patterns, is becoming increasingly visible worldwide. For example, looking at the market for bio-trade, domestic and international sales by businesses in this sector reached over US$ 2.3 billion in 2011, showing an annual growth rate of 14 per cent. Nevertheless, these figures still represent a small proportion of the estimated market potential for biodiversity products and services, which has been put at over US$ 140 billion. This potential will continue to be driven by many factors, including consumer preferences, but also by the integration of sustainability considerations into corporate and branding strategies.
Given their often large endowments of biodiversity, many developing countries are well positioned to take advantage of trade and investment opportunities which bio-trade activities offer. These opportunities are a potential source of jobs and incomes, export diversification and rural development. In 2010, bio-trade activities directly benefited more than 38'000 people worldwide including collectors, breeders, hunters, farmers and producers.
However, sustainability and market access in bio-trade are still hindered by a variety of factors, including non-tariff barriers, access to credit, and lack of financial and management capacities. In this regard, the consolidation and expansion of emerging biodiversity-based sectors still needs a great deal of attention, as well as financial and technical support from the international community.
Sixteen years ago, UNCTAD launched the BioTrade Initiative with the aim of promoting trade and investment in biodiversity as a means of furthering sustainable development and implementing the CBD's objectives. Products and services increasingly traded by beneficiaries of the program are used in the food, cosmetic, handicrafts, fashion, and ecotourism industries.
Since then, remarkable progress has been achieved by private actors and partners in embracing bio-trade concepts and principles as an integral part of their development strategies. The BioTrade Initiative is currently being implemented in 19 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America and continues to grow. An example of this is the forthcoming Global UNCTAD/UNDP partnership on Bio-trade and Post Conflict Reintegration and Livelihoods Recovery.
This first Bio-trade Congress is evidence of the progress made so far and of the broad scope of bio-trade activities. It provides a platform for all stakeholders to share their experiences, lessons learned and the challenges faced in implementing sustainable practices and guiding private actors and governments in building "greener" economic sectors. It also offers a chance to establish mechanisms for further cooperation in implementing sustainable practices in biodiversity-based sectors and corporate strategies.
In opening this congress, we at UNCTAD would like to express our deep appreciation to the sustained support of the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and other partners to UNCTAD's BioTrade Initiative. I would also like to thank the contribution of the General Secretariat of the Andean Community (SGCAN), the International Trade Centre (ITC), the Colombian Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, the Natural Resources Stewardship Circle (NRSC), the Peruvian Ministry of Environment, PhytoTrade Africa, the Union of Ethical BioTrade, Yves Rocher and the Bureau of Crisis Prevention and Recovery of UNDP for their support in the organization of this meeting.
This wide base of support demonstrates the interest in the commercial success of bio-trade, and the recognition of the role that bio-trade can play in the growth of the green economy in developing countries. It is my hope that this event generates ideas and examples that help make a concrete contribution to the follow-up to Rio+20.
Thank you.

Named grand marshal of the 2013 Rose Bowl Parade, the official duty Jane Goodall most feared was flipping the coin to start the 99th annual Rose Bowl Game. Having lost half a thumb, bitten off by a chimpanzee while doing her thought-changing research, Goodall felt she might miss the catch. A phone call to retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Conner, a previous grand marshal, assured her that she didn't have to catch the coin, just toss it. With relief, the esteemed scientist took on the role feeling the opportunity to spread her message to a huge audience was well worth taking time from her 300-day annual schedule as a UN Peace Ambassador and conservationist speaking on behalf of animal welfare and preserving the planet.
In addition to the grand marshal carriage with the world's premiere primatologist and three youth leaders from her international Roots and Shoots program on board, two precedent-setting floats called world attention to the plight of domestic animals. "Canines with Courage" celebrated the privately funded Military Working Dog Teams National Monument to be dedicated in October. Service animals in all branches of the armed forces finally are winning full military honors rather than being labeled "equipment" often discarded in foreign lands when duty ends. Now, courageous canines are to be treated humanely, battle wounds treated, retired and adopted rather than abandoned or euthanized.
The second float featuring animals carried live pets available for adoption. The message was that there is a determined, collaborative effort to eliminate mass euthanasia of shelter pets in the 12 overcrowded Los Angeles city and county shelters. Thought impossible, a milestone goal was reached in December, when no adoptable pet was killed for lack of space in the entire system. This extraordinary feat will be repeated only with public awareness and sustained participation in shelter adoption. Accompanying Goodall's carriage for a part of the parade route was a homeless dog. When questioned about the connection, Goodall explained: "He was walking for the homeless dogs of America. Dogs have always been very, very important in my life. When I was a child, I grew up with a dog. And when I went to Cambridge University to get my Ph.D., the professors told me I couldn't talk about chimpanzees having personalities, minds or emotions, because that was unique to us. I immediately knew they were wrong because of my dog. My guinea pigs had different personalities. All animals do."
On the Jane Goodall Institute website is the Rose Bowl network broadcast video recorded to express Goodall's interpretation of "Oh, the Places You'll Go!", the Rose Bowl Parade theme from Dr. Seuss: "New Year's Day symbolizes the opportunity to work towards new goals and experience new beginnings and to make a difference. My dream for New Year's Day is that everyone think of the places we can all go if we work together to make the world a better place." The institute website features simple action ideas any one can take to make that difference. "It's up to us to save some of these amazing places that our children today can go to for the future. Millions and millions of people making the right choices for the future is going to lead to the kind of change we need."
In the Tournament of Roses press release, president Sally Bixby relates: "We selected our theme, 'Oh, the Places You'll Go!' with Dr. Goodall in mind as grand marshal. The theme can be interpreted as a celebration of accomplishment, discovery and travel of course, but equally valid is its implicit call to action. We think Dr. Goodall's life story is a testament to the sense of adventure and openness to possibility that this phrase suggests: As a young woman, she defied convention to follow her dreams, and she has committed herself to a life of global citizenship, inspiring children and adults alike along the way."
Can 2013 bring us together to get on with the serious work of caring for our earth, its living beings and each other? Propelled by a spectacular Rose Bowl kickoff on January 1, this must be the year for individual commitment and action.

It wasn't supposed to work.
Backed by a Hollywood-style gay rights group and two of the best lawyers in the country, the legal challenge to California's same-sex marriage ban -- filed in the spring of 2009 -- at first was strongly opposed by the nation's largest gay rights organizations.
The reason was simple math. In their view, not enough justices on a conservative U.S. Supreme Court were ready to back same-sex marriage rights. And that would risk a ruling that could set the movement back for years.
But on Wednesday, the legal challenge to Proposition 8 did work, even though it was far from clear there are indeed enough Supreme Court justices ready to declare a constitutional right to same-sex marriage.
And on Friday, after a 10-word ruling from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals cleared the way, the weddings began again for the first time since 2008, when voters approved Proposition 8 and blocked the altar for gay and lesbian couples.
"It did work beautifully," said Shannon Minter, legal director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights and one of many gay rights leaders who were skeptical of pushing the Proposition 8 case to the Supreme Court.
"It gave us a chance to present these arguments to the court, sort of a trial run, which I think is going to be very helpful whenever we're back in front of them with this issue."
The Supreme Court's 5-4 decision on Proposition 8 certainly did not settle the gay marriage issue for the country, with dozens of states still able to outlaw same-sex nuptials. The justices avoided tackling whether a state ban on gay marriage is constitutional, instead finding that Proposition 8 backers never had the legal right to defend California's law.
California now becomes the 13th state to legalize gay nuptials.
Legal experts say the Proposition 8 lawsuit, even if it didn't persuade the Supreme Court to issue a sweeping ruling in favor of same-sex marriage rights, did what it set out to do -- legalize gay marriage in California.
David Boies, who crafted the lawsuit with former Republican U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson, said Thursday he was satisfied the Supreme Court resolved the case by finding Proposition 8 backers had no right, or "standing," to defend the law in place of state officials. That, he said, brings same-sex marriage to the nation's largest state.
Ready or not, there were enough Supreme Court justices to make that happen, despite all the doubts of four years ago. And it was an unusual, even oddball, coalition of the court's liberals and conservatives to do so: Roberts and fellow conservative Antonin Scalia, joined by liberal Justices Elena Kagan, Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
"At the end of the day, there was no setback, only advances," said Marc Spindelman, an Ohio State University law professor.
Added Julie Nice, a University of San Francisco law professor: "Honestly, I think the fact we get this major result without any ruling on the merits, it still worked," said Julie Nice, a University of San Francisco law professor. "I think their gamble paid off."
The Supreme Court also on Wednesday struck down the 1996 federal Defense of Marriage Act, in that case taking a broader approach to finding the denial of benefits to same-sex couples violates federal equal protection rights.
Many legal experts say that decision has planted the seeds of the next challenge to a state's right to ban same-sex marriage. In fact, Scalia warned of that possibility in his dissent.
Retired Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker, who wrote the 2010 ruling invalidating Proposition 8, said this week he found neither of the Supreme Court rulings "a surprise."
Armed with Wednesday's DOMA ruling and the Proposition 8 outcome, the next challenge to a state ban may not carry the same worry and skepticism Olson and Boies confronted four years ago.
"If you look at the way the country has changed, there is a good chance that three, four, five years from now the country will have changed even more," Boies said. "So people will not have that kind skepticism about it that we faced,"

To you, runners of the world.... I need help!
I'm not a new runner, been running hard for 10 years. Through all the pain and anguish. A few years ago tho, I finally discovered I suffer from FLAT FEET and SEVERE OVER PRONATION. It made sense, since I experience severe pain while running. The worst pain is typically in my arches, extensor digitorum longus, tibalis interior, and tibalis anterior muscle. There is slight pain in my calves, but not to the extent as the fore mentioned.
I've been to way too many shoe stores and foot experts (not doctors) to examine my feet and suggest items to buy. I've spent near thousands of dollars on these shoes and inserts that were supposed to help. Nothing did. I got to the point where I was running okay and through the pain upwards of 4-5 miles, but eventually I had to stop. As for health and fitness, I can run fine without shortness of breath etc... It's the pain. I run until it gets numb and then I risk falling. Then I stop for a second. Which I switch to walking, the pain becomes SEVERE. I try to stretch out then get back into it when I feel okay, suffering then from dimenishing returns (ie - my run time before stopping decreases each time).
I took a break from running for a while, and that sent me downward spiriling into these terrible experiences. I can't remotely run like I used to.
I've got the New-Balance shoes that help with pronotion and several years of Brooks shoes that were supposed to help, and I've got many different types of inserts that aide with impact and creating arches. All they do is make the pain more intense. I try running through it, to strengthen into them, but sometimes it's just unbearable. I need to run. For excercise and to keep up physical fitness for my career.
So, hoping I've supplied enough info, I ask PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP with any information you can provide. I need aide badly.
Thank you so much for reading and even more for helping if you can. I need some serious help.
I understand your frustrations, but finding a good sports PT might really be of assistance. It sounds like you still do not have the right combination of shoes, socks, necessary stabilizing items and supplements. If you have not already experimented with this, I would recommend a quality arch item with metatarsal pad and some ankle support. There are some brands and models designed for runners and for regular wear outside of exercising that could help (like the Foot Gauntlet, for example).
The pain followed by numbness may be another circulation or nerve pressure issue, so it is important to get a professional evaluation about the whole picture.
In general, it would not hurt to increase vitamins B-12 and D.
Wishing you all the best.
It's quite possible you've got TOO MUCH support. "Common belief" is that flat feet are things that must be corrected. Very often that's not the case. I was put in rigid orthotics for over 10 years because I have horribly flat feet. A few years ago I got out of them. When I was in the process of getting out of them I went skiing with Superfeet in my boots. I figured I needed a little support - since I wasn't completely used to no arch support. I ALMOST stopped half-way down the mountain on the first run to take them out. They hurt my feet so badly. I took them out and skied the rest of the day no problem. My point is that sometimes arch support can cause pain.
I'd try some experimenting with less foot control. Just take it slowly and see what happens.
"Kick off your high heel sneakers, it's party time."

If I were in your situation, I'd go find a golf course with its short grass, take everything off my feet and go for a barefoot run in the short grass. That gets you back to basics and lets your feet function the way nature intended.
If you get through the run with no pain, it'll be obvious your shoes are causing the problem. I'm not a barefoot runner, but run in 6 oz. racing flats. They provide protection for the bottoms of my feet, but that's it.
If you find you can run without pain on the golf course, I'd continue running that way for a while to strengthen the muscles in your feet.
I don't advocate barefoot running, but have had good luck getting away from shoes designed to make your feet land a certain way. Find out if you can run shoeless, then take it from there.
And good luck, not being able to run is extremely frustrating...
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...
Trying a little barefoot running might help. A little means maybe a couple/three 200 meter jogs. However, I would find a smooth, firm surface. A composite track or a clean, flat stretch of asphalt would work well. I agree with Jim that you may be "over-supporting" your feet. Research seems to show that shoes should allow your feet to react to the road, rather than forcing them into a footstrike determined by the shoe designer.
From looking at my "real life" shoes, you'd think I was a horrible overpronator who needs orthotics. And when I started running, I wore big shoes that forced my feet to land and rotate "properly".
Then I tried running in minimalist shoes, 200 yards at a time. After some time spent adapting, I've found that a mid-foot strike nearly eliminates pronation. Mid-foot striking is very difficult to achieve in a big, bulky corrective shoe. My wife, who has feet flatter than a flounder that's been crushed by a pavement roller, also went minimalist. Neither of us has problems with foot or lower leg pain.
Do I think it's the shoe? Not really. I think it's the running style, and I also don't think that big shoes are conducive to efficient strides. I second the suggestion of running short distances barefoot, on grass, to see how it works for you. It's not the solution for everyone, but hey. If barefoot feels good, you can lay out the cash for a good pair of minimalist shoes and take your mileage higher.
Also - Do you walk around the house barefoot? It's amazing the different muscles you work. Walk barefoot, on the balls of your feet, and your arch never comes into play.
Your arch comes into play regardless of your footstrike. Even with a forefoot strike, you don't run "on the balls of your feet". The forefoot is where you land first, with the rest of your foot coming down after, lightly and quickly. Pronation involves the entire bottom of your foot, and is the means by which the load is distributed.
To reiterate, grass is not a good starting surface for barefoot. It is usually too lumpy, making your foot try to adapt to the irregularities while also trying to learn to run barefoot. If you don't like the idea of pavement or have access to a track, try to find a smooth, stone free, dirt trail. The main thing is to have a smooth, firm surface.
When overpronation comes up, I alway go back to this video of Haille Gebrselassie, marathon WR holder for some time, at 2:04:xx, and a classic overpronator.
Thank you all so much for the info. I've looked into Newton Running (although I don't intend to buy their shoe) and I am beginning to see a definite trend. It's very likely I am overcompensating with the shoes and soles and etc... I am a definite heel striker, nad being 215lbs makes that some hard hits. On top of that the over pronation and flat feet don't help. I ran around on tile barefoot for a few strides in an open arena... my running was very different and I hardly experienced pain. Was running on the balls of my foot. It was like I reverted back to the way I should be running or something.
Anyway, I figure I'm going to try and train my feet to run right. Was considering Vibram Five Fingers shoes. Kind of a back to basics thing.
Be cautious trying to change your footstrike. It takes a lot of time (months) and effort. If done too fast, you'll just be trading one set of injuries for another. I've been a heelstriker for 28 years and 190 lbs and survived with very few injuries. First work on your posture and stride, making sure you plant your foot under your hips, not out in front. This will move you closer to a midfoot strike too. Vibrams are OK but should be approached the same way as barefoot - a little bit at a time, a couple hundred meters, increasing gradually.
I agree with Len re: landing under the hips, etc. Since you're coming from a heel striking background when you start landing under your hips it will feel like you'll be landing with your feet behind you. You won't be, of course, but it will feel that way. Also try to keep a pretty high cadence - 180 steps per minute or so. I also agree to not barefoot on grass but rather a hard surface. Your feet and body need the firm feedback in order to get the form right. (Also, with regards to cadence: 180 steps per minute doesn't necessarily mean you need to run fast. You can run in place at 180 steps per minute. Try doing that, then very slightly leaning forward. You'll start to move - and your feet can stay moving at the same cadence.)
Keep in mind that Vibrams are not barefoot. The best way to learn the "barefoot style" is truly barefoot. Once the form feels comfortable then potentially look at something like a Vibram.
Dr. Mark Cucuzzella (started / is part of The Natural Running Center) has put together some GREAT info on running in the barefoot style. Check out this video:
"Kick off your high heel sneakers, it's party time."
-- From the song FM by Steely Dan
Quote: "It was like I reverted back to the way I should be running or something." Bingo!
When you take your shoes off and run, your body will compensate for the change and not let you land on your heels and get hurt. It happens automatically and you've already experienced it with what little running you did on a tile floor.
Like I said, go for a run barefoot. If it works, take it from there. You might move into a minimalist shoe and be good to go.
And don't agree with it taking months to change your footstrike, as soon as you run either barefoot or in a minimalist shoe, the change is immediate and takes place automatically.
Again... I run in a 6 oz. racing flat...
Edited to add: I suggested you find a golf course to run on because I doubt the bottoms of your feet are tough enough to run on pavement. And the short grass on a golf course would allow you to see any irregularities before stepping on/in them.
Good luck!

This is a common miscoception that is simply not true. Research indicates that most heelstrikers will continue to heelstrike barefoot for some time, transitioning to a midfoot/forefoot strike over a period of time, weeks or longer. As a matter of fact I have done some barefoot running and I consistently heelstrike barefoot. Also, the problem with changing from heel to midfoot or forefoot is not how fast you learn to do it, but with the added stresses on calf muscles and achilles that take adjustment time. You can end up with very sore or injured calves.
Lenzlaw, you're getting away from the original poster's request for suggestions that might help him get back to running without pain. I told him to try running barefoot and if it worked, "to take it from there."
Here's another quote from JFinSmith, "my running was VERY DIFFERENT and I hardly experienced pain. Was running on the balls of my feet."
That's hardly a "misconception", it's something he ought to pursue. He's an experienced runner with 10 years of "running hard" under his belt, so should be able to tell from what he's feeling whether or not what I'm suggesting will work and can "take it from there."
Enjoy life, this ain't a rehearsal...
There's no doubt in my mind, much like everything else int he world, there are differing of opinions and each side will have their facts. For me, the running I experienced barefoot was quite a noticeable change. But therein lies a problem, that I was concentrating quite heavily on how I was running so I could learn from it. It's entirely possible that my body reverted, and also just as likely, that my body converted to what I was actively trying to do. Likewise, the pain may have been minimal because I was running maybe 100m at a time, as opposed to 1 mile at a time before needing a quick stretch.
I think in the end, in taking all the opinions I could from your responses, I will continue running barefoot in 200 - 400m short runs to aide in acquiring some new habits. In a week or two I'll go back to my good old Books with the factory inserts and see if I can incorporate what I've learned.
It's definitely a weird feeling so far. I start running in place then I lean forward until I start moving. I feel like I am in a state of constant falling. It's going to take some time to get solidly use to it.
Debate is good, it's how we learn. And a lively debate's even better...lol

Dealing With Domains - Part 1
You have a web site and you have a domain, and as long as the web site is up and running, everything is fine. But what happens if your domain is hijacked? What if you need to make changes to your domain registration, or register a new one, and your registrar is simply disinterested? What if they go out of business? Your domain name is a valuable property, and you should keep it in pro-active and trustworthy hands.
How Domain Registration Works
Domain registrars provide the service of keeping your domain name mapped with current information so that it can be found on the web. Domain names are meaningful aliases for numeric IP addresses, and aren't technically required in order to host a web site. But, the internet would be hard to navigate if we could only find things by their numeric addresses.
The primary thing that a registrar does is to keep your contact (whois) data maintained; point your domain to the appropriate name servers; and allow you to move your domain to another registrar if you choose to.
Domain Services
In addition to domain registration, most registrars offer additional services, such as:
Aliasing of Addresses (so that both http://yourdomain.com and http://www.yourdomain.com go to the same place),
Backup Mail Handling, so, should your primary mail server go down, messages sent to you will be stored until they come back around;
Web Forwarding, so you can, say, register yourdomain.org, yourdomain,.com and yourdomain.net, but forward all visitors to the .com and .net sites to your website at yourdomain.org.
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Certificates, to encrypt sensitive data, like online donation forms.
Things to Look For in a New Registrar
- Are they accredited? ICANN, the organization that oversees domain management , accredits registrars. If they aren't on ICANN's list, they aren't trustworthy.
- Do they add a year to the existing expiration date, or charge you for a full year as of engagement? They should do the former.
- Do they offer automated access to all functions (via web forms), including locking/unlocking domains, retrieval of authorization (EPP) codes, and modification of all whois records? (Some registrars prefer to list themselves as the technical contact. It should be up to you whether they can have an official name on your domain, not them).
- Do they list a telephone number, and is it promptly answered during business hours?
- Do they respond promptly to emails and support requests? The ability to communicate with your registrar is rarely needed, but, when it is, it's critical - you don't want them out of the loop if your domain is subject to an attempted hijack.
- Do they offer the ability to manage DNS for mail servers and subdomains? While this is an added feature, it's common enough to be worth expecting.
- Do they have any additional services (examples above)? While these supplemental services are far from critical, they are convenient. More to the point, a company that is engaging in a robust suite of services is more likely to be focused on their business. The truth is that anyone can be a domain registrar, if they make the proper investment, but whether it's a going concern or a neglected piece of extra income for them is a question you'll want to ask.
Next week: Safely transferring domains and a word on web hosting completes the topic.
Hi, Hal -- good point, and
Hi, Hal -- good point, and one that I did miss in part 2, which I hope you found here. I'm not sure what the ramifications of having the registrar listed as a contact are, but it doesn't seem right to me. That gives them undue authority on a domain that they only host, not own.
A DNS article would be a good follow-up, I'll keep that in mind.
Thank you for the very nice
Thank you for the very nice summary of Domain Registration. You may have planned to address this in Part 2 of your series here, but it is worth noting that some registrars list themselves as the Technical contact, and sometimes Administrative contact, in the WhoIs information for a domain. I have not seen this (yet) when domains are transferred to a new registrar, but do see it when registering a domain for the first time. A registrar with an easy to use method of editing the WhoIs info is a bonus.
Any plans on doing a DNS series?

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. — The Northstar Golf Course will host a golf tournament on Sunday, June 24 at noon to benefit a fundraising effort to illuminate and expand the existing Truckee skatepark.
Last year, several Truckee skateboarders combined forces and approached the town of Truckee with their idea for an "expansion" to the existing park. The town was on board and agreed to match the amount the enthusiasts could raise. Since that meeting, these dedicated project members have succeeded in raising money through various efforts like monthly "Trivia Nights" at Best Pies, holding raffles during Truckee Thursdays, and developing a nonprofit website that accepts donations at www.truckeeskatepark.com.
Chris Bartowski, founder of truckeeskatepark.com and member of the fundraising effort said, "The current park is awesome, but with the growing popularity of skateboarding, the current park is too small to house everybody. With the expansion, we could easily cater to a diverse selection of skill levels and age ranges."
Local companies may select to be bronze, silver or gold sponsors, contributing anywhere from $150-500 to represent a golf hole. Sponsors are encouraged to design creative hole contests (i.e. dizzybat longdrive contest etc.). The cost is $55 in advance or $65 day-of for players to enter. Sign up in advance for both players and corporate sponsors at www.truckeeskatepark.com. The event will be a four-person, scramble format. Day-of sign ups must be done in cash only. Registration begins at 11 a.m.
The golf tournament is a way for local businesses and community members to show support for the Truckee skatepark. There will be plenty of prizes and hole contests. Contact Adele Attix at 530-562-8024 or email@example.com for more information.

Ask any knowledgeable Westerner about the most complex issue facing our region, and chances are water will emerge as the clear winner. Sure, fracking, beetle kill, marijuana laws and a variety of other topics can be mired in bellicosity and intransigence, but for sheer head-banging frustration and Byzantine complexity, it's tough to beat water.
In the West, the reason is typically that there's just not enough of it. This winter, we're fretting again about the snowpack and how its relatively low levels will impact the reservoirs. Even in areas where there's plenty - maybe even to the point of flooding - it's not always easy to get water where it's most needed. Grand schemes to move water from wet areas to dry ones ultimately result in hard feelings, protracted legal battles and tremendous expenditures of money.
As populations climb, the climate changes and water-intensive activities such as lawn watering and industrial use continue to grow, those who study water foresee dire times ahead around the United States. As such, Cynthia Barnett's engaging book "Blue Revolution: Unmaking America's Water Crisis" is a timely study, as well as a logical next selection for the Summit Reads project - following last year's exploration of wildfire through Timothy Egan's "The Big Burn."
Barnett's book provides an excellent top-level view of the many moving parts that have created the looming water crisis in the United States. From the damming of rivers to early water grabs by corporations and individuals, the author paints a disturbing picture of how this most precious resource is hoarded, controlled, diverted, exploited and wasted around the country. Whether it's farmers quickly draining aquifers that took thousands of years to fill or desert homeowners squandering the little they have watering the sidewalk, there's plenty of finger-pointing to go around.
That's the bad news. The good news - and what makes Barnett's book so much more readable than a simple screed against water waste - comes from the case studies she examines from different locations around the U.S. and the world and how they might be applied to create a more workable water ethic for all of the U.S. In Singapore, she describes the water evolution of an island nation that relies solely on rainwater, yet treated what it had so shabbily that a major government-led initiative had to be put in place to preserve it.
In Australia, residents of Perth were almost comically hooked on the lush landscaping practices left over from the British colonial period, and it took a major crisis to convince them to change.
In America, we can see the problem coming (it is, in fact, already here) and possess the knowledge to make real changes. Some of that is already in place in pockets around the country, such as San Antonio, Texas. (Although not mentioned in the book, Summit County residents can take some solace in the fact that Denver Water has done a fair amount of work to conserve and stretch the water it brings from the High Country.)
Still, no overarching national water ethic is in place that promotes best practices and public-private partnerships to manage and conserve. Also missing in many places, Barnett writes, is the connection between the water and the people. After all, how can you get someone to care about their local water source when it's polluted or inaccessible and when water simply emerges anonymously from the tap?
As a call to action, "Blue Revolution" makes a compelling and practical case for stronger efforts behind how we manage and conserve our water. For residents of a headwater county, it makes sense for us to do what we can to push that message to those benefiting from all those precious drops that flow downhill.

Yellow Medicine County Commissioners have taken action that may drastically change the physical layout in which the county provides services to constituents.
On Tuesday, commissioners unanimously approved a purchase agreement for the Fagen Engineering building located at 180 8th Ave. just off of main street Granite Falls. According YMC Administrator Ryan Krosch, the purchase would serve to alleviate the county of a long-running need of additional space.
Commissioners nearly pulled the trigger on an approximately $1.3 million courthouse expansion proposal developed over 2007 and 2008 that would have added the requisite space the county would need to adequately house county attorney, information technology and restorative justice offices. Ultimately though, the board would decide to put the breaks on the expenditure in response to a growing recession and reduction in state funding.
A special committee, made up of Krosch, Property and Public Services Director Janel Timm, County Attorney Keith Helgeson and Commissioners Ron Antony and Greg Renneke, was later formed to continue to explore options to address the space concerns. Krosch said the committee remained open to courthouse expansion options while also putting out feelers for potential off-site space. Eventually, an inquiry was made about the Fagen Engineering building.
Fagen Inc. Secretary-Treasurer Diane Fagen said that the company wasn't shopping the building, but when it became apparent that the engineering offices could be moved into the main office off of Highway 212 the company was happy to accommodate the county. Terms of the purchase agreement include a sale price of $450,000 for the approximately 8,000 sq. foot structure.
According to County Assessor Connie Erickson, Fagen Inc. purchased the building, the former YMC Bank, for $410,000 in December of 2008. A building permit filed with the City of Granite Falls listed subsequent renovations to the structure to run an estimated $100,000.
The purchase of the property by the county would remove it from the tax rolls. In 2012, public documents show a taxable value of $309,000 and $12,944 in taxes payable. Broken down the portion of those taxes that belongs to major tax recipients includes the city of Granite Falls at approximately $5,000; the county, $2,600; the state, $2,750 and the YME school district $800.
A YMC Gov't Center?
Krosch says that if the sale goes through the plan is to move all Finance and Administration and Property and Public Service offices over to the Fagen Engineering building, while the county attorney offices would be moved into the courthouse alongside Family Services, Law Enforcement and the court, which all work together with frequency.
Such changes would create a logical layout that, in addition to the courthouse, creates a separate government center where the public would go for services relating to land records, property assessment, taxation, elections, vital statistics and licenses other than drivers and motor vehicles.
According to Krosch, the government center model is nothing new and is used by a number of counties, including Redwood, which recently established their government center in a former grocery store building.
Page 2 of 2 - Beyond the purchase, the county would be faced with additional expense associated with the renovation of the engineering building and the courthouse. Krosch estimated that these cost might approach $250,000 to $350,000 and $100,000, respectfully.
At the courthouse, much of the expense would be associated with upgrades to safety precautions and facility updates, while at the engineering building one of the most costly requirements would be the installation of an elevator.
Krosch said that he expects the actual purchase of the Fagen Engineering building to occur by the end of November and to be totally funded with reserves. The move by county departments into their new locations would likely be complete by next spring.

Easy to install, effective cooling
Reviewed by Anthony C. Review Posted 02/10/2012
I knew that I wanted a liquid cooling solution in my new PC. It's the most efficient way to get the heat from the CPU outside the case, and installing an i7-3930k I was expecting some serious heat.
I was caught trying to decide between this and the Corsair fans, and eventually plumbed for this one for a couple of reasons:
1) It looks nice. And I don't just mean the blue glow; the Corsair ones are ugly no matter which way you look at them
2) It is really easy to install. Check out the videos on YouTube from Intel - really easy for any supported socked (installed on s2011 for me)
3) It connects to the fan header which means the fan speed is variable, unlike the Corsairs which you have to manually set the fan speed on the pump
It's also very effective and currently in use it's spinning at an almost silent 1300RPM and the CPU is running mid 50°c's
All in all I'm very happy with my purchase

Reviewed by Manny. Review Posted 08/02/2013
Thinking and reading lots of review about Corsair, Kuhler and other water coolings, but finally decided to go with this because of the good reviews it has here
The installation is dead easy,there is a video in u tube that I didn't follow fully and found best to screw the pump and the bracket at the same time.
It is extremelly quiet and this for me was the most important thing. The LED in the fan can be turn off if it disturbs you, which I've done.
The only thing that is somehow worry is that the screws to attach the whole thing to the cpu bracket are somehow short but they stick all right. Even with heavy load, my cpu never pass 35 degrees
Get it, you won't regret it

I should have bought this in the first place
Reviewed by Ben E. Review Posted 15/01/2012
I purchased this because the fan that comes with the Core i7 processor is not really up to the job of keeping an 8-core chip cool. I tried a beefier fan, but unless you have an air-con unit blowing in the back of your PC then an i7 needs a liquid cooled solution. Installation took quite a while, primarily because the instructions aren't clear. The pictures of the screws in the instructions bear no relation to the ones supplied. However with a bit of nous it was fairly easy to work out how the fan could be attached to the PC case. The actual cooler unit was a bit trickier but it's not rocket science. All in, it took me just over an hour to fit (although I could probably do it in 20 minutes if I had to do it again). It's definitely worth the effort though as this is a quiet fan. Even when going full pelt it makes a very gentle noise. Also it must work well as I can now use SpeedStep without my PC turning itself off. So, less noise and better performance - a worthwhile purchase.

(WOMENSENEWS)--Fundamentalist Rev. Jerry Falwell has blamed the terrorist attacks against New York and Washington on the American Civil Liberties Union, abortionists, feminists, gays and lesbians who seek a secular alternate lifestyle.
"I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped this happen,'" Falwell told the Christian television news show, The 700 Club, on Thursday. Host Pat Robertson had asked Falwell to comment on the attacks in which more than 5,000 people are believed to have perished.
"The American Civil Liberties Union's got to take a lot of blame for this," Falwell said, "throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools.
"The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million innocent babies we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans and the abortionists and the feminists and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make an alternate lifestyle ... all of them who have helped secularize America."
Robertson later issued a written statement saying that terrorism "is happening because God Almighty is lifting his protection from us." He said God is displeased by abortion, Internet pornography and a Supreme Court that ended prayer in public schools.
The 700 Club on the Christian Broadcasting Network is viewed by about one million Americans daily.
