Walking can make a person healthier, skinnier and happier. On Dec. 12, walking made a few Christmases a little warmer.
This was because Anytime Fitness was able to raise $460 for Grandma's Attic, an organization that raises money and gifts for donations – and during the holiday season, those donations are presents for children.
Kristin Whitney and Beth Henderson walked for 12 hours during the day from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. They logged 38.27 miles and burned more than 5,000 calories.
"I'm just a little sore behind the knees," said Beth. "I feel really good, it's kind of like a runners high."
Beth and Kristin had so much fun during their 12 hour walkathon they are planning on doing another event in June. This time they might take the challenge a little further and continue their walk for a full 24 hours.
"We had an awesome day doing this," said Beth. "We're really pleased with the turnout, money raised and member participation."
Door prizes were also given following the event. Erika Castro took home the grand prize for guessing closest to the total miles walked at 35 miles. She won a Princess Theater and Anytime Fitness package.
There were six other winners who all took home theater passes. They were Jaren Lokre, Susan Mohe, Jody Anderson, Chris Pitcher, Angie Holmen and Jane Kuhlman.
Nine members of the community also took advantage of the sale that took place throughout the day and became members at Anytime Fitness.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2012
AIKEN COUNTY, S.C. -- Tristan Baker dreams of moving out of her tiny apartment. She started looking at rental homes a few months ago.
"Me and mom were looking for a three bedroom, two bath," she said.
It didn't take Baker long to find a beautiful three-bedroom house under $600 on Craigslist. She drove by the home before sending a money order to the person listed in the ad.
"I looked and there is this real estate sign out front, and I said that's not the same person that's on Craigslist," Baker said.
A real estate agent confirmed her fear. The ad she saw on Craigslist was a scam.
"It's getting to the point now that people are taking pictures off of the real estate's website and posting it on Craigslist and they are pretending it's their houses now," she said.
Baker started her search again. And again, she found what appeared to be her dream home.
"They sent me the application and it was like a weird application and it said that they were in Germany," she said.
Baker isn't the first person to almost fall for a rental scam on Craigslist. The FBI is now warning residents in South Carolina about scam artists looking to steal your money and your personal information through fake rental ads.
If you are victim of a real estate scam, the FBI wants you to file a complaint. You can file a complaint online here.
Here are a few ways to protect yourself when searching for housing online:
- 1. Never wire money, especially to overseas.
- 2. Be leery of anyone claiming they can't meet you in person.
- 3. Drive by the rental home to see if there is a real estate sign outside. If so, call the company to verify the Craigslist ad.
Here's the news release from the FBI:
"David A. Thomas, special agent in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in South Carolina, advises homeowners and/or prospective renters in South Carolina to be cautious of a new Internet scam being perpetrated by advertisers on a popular online marketing site, Craigslist. This type of scam has significantly increased in recent years, and the FBI would like to warn prospective renters to remain vigilant to avoid becoming a potential victim.
This scam follows the familiar pattern of an online advertisement that seems 'too good to be true.' Potential victims are contacted by an individual in a foreign country by either email or phone and subsequently wire money to an unknown third person in an overseas location. Perpetrators implement the scam by researching homes listed for sale on public search sites, such as www.trulia.com. They copy the pictures and descriptions verbatim and then post the information onto Craigslist under available housing rentals without the consent or knowledge of Craigslist or the "true" owner.
To avoid these types of scams, renters should never wire funds to an unknown person and should only conduct business with individuals they can meet in person. In addition, renters should request to see the property in person and preferably be shown the interior of a property prior to signing a contract and transmitting any payments.
The FBI is requesting individuals who have similar complaints to file an Internet crime complaint on www.ic3.gov with the FBI to ensure the extent of this scheme can be accurately evaluated."

Mulberry Woman Killed in Crash Near Fort Meade
Published: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 2:07 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 2:07 p.m.
FORT MEADE | A 54-year-old Mulberry woman was killed Friday morning in a crash that involved three vehicles west of Fort Meade, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.
Linda Cipriano of Five Iron Drive in Mulberry was eastbound on County Road 630 about 6:30 a.m. in her 1999 Volkswagen. As she approached Peeples Road, a Toyota pickup hauling a boat and trailer and driven by Cecil K. Keen, 65, of Edgewood Drive North in Fort Meade, tried to turn from the westbound lane of CR 630 onto southbound Peeples Road, the Sheriff's Office said.
The truck went into Cipriano's path and the left front of the truck struck the left front of Cipriano's Volkswagen. The Volkswagen spun into a ditch on the south side of CR 630. The truck came to rest across all lanes of CR 630 and was then struck on the right side by a 1997 Saturn driven by Bennie C. Keisling, 56, of Frostproof who was traveling eastbound on CR 630, the Sheriff's Office said.
Witnesses removed Cipriano from her vehicle but she was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency medical personnel. No one else involved in the crash was injured. All three drivers were wearing seat belts, the Sheriff's Office said.
At the time of the crash, visibility in the area was diminished because of fog, the Sheriff's Office said. Impairment does not appear to be a factor in the crash and no criminal charges are anticipated currently.

I recently got a Panasonic Viera ST60 TV, which as a built in DLNA streaming app. According to the website, this is what it supports:
AVCHD 3D/Progressive
I'm trying to figure out how to optimize the Panasonic.conf file to disable transcoding on what is supported. So far I have successfully added this line:
- Code: Select all
Supported = f:flac n:2 a:flac n:2 s:48000
I know I'm missing the mime type, which is recommended, but frankly I don't know what it is/should be.
Looking in the conf file, it appears as if .avi videos should be supported, but they are still showing up as being transcoded by mencoder through the tv, so clearly I need to do something different.
I thought you all could help me come up with the recommended settings for the conf file for these TV's. Being one of the top recommended models on cnet, hopefully this will help a lot of people!

text: Death metal bands are at a disadvantage before I hear a single note of their music. Just by the nature of what they play, it's extremely difficult for any of them to stand out from the pack. Unlike every other genre, where voices and tones vary wildly, death metal is confined to a set of standards that make everyone sound more or less the same. While that's great for fans who are immersed in the music, and can pick out those small differences and magnify them, it leaves people like me weary from listening to album after album, band after band, that all blend together.

A number of additional tools are recommended and/or provided by HSU to support your web publishing activities.
|Google Analytics
|Forms Processing

|Password-protected Directories
|Animation and Video
Drupal is a software platform that enables individuals, teams, and communities to easily publish, manage, and organize content on the web. For HSU, this means you can use Drupal to create your web site at no cost instead of paying for a license to use DreamWeaver. Drupal is all web-based, so there's no software to install, and you can control who's allowed to edit what if you have multiple people editing your site. HSU's Drupal license incorporates an HSU "theme", giving your site an easily-recognizable HSU appearance.
For more information, see Using Drupal.
MySQL is a commonly-used database system that's often combined for web use with the widely-used PHP scripting language. You can request a MySQL account on both the Central and User Web servers.
Note: Do not make any file containing a password to a database (such as a config file) universally readable.
To monitor traffic and learn more about who's visiting your website, HSU recommends using Google Analytics rather than a basic page counter. You'll get powerful, flexible and easy-to-use functionality that lets you see and analyze your traffic from multiple perspectives: which of your pages are viewed the most; how visitors find your site; what browser your visitors are using; and information about Flash capabilities and screen resolution that can help you design the best user experience possible. You just need to sign up for a free account and paste a snippet of code at the bottom of your web pages.
If you use forms on your site, HSU recommends FormMail to process submitted information rather than writing your own script. FormMail is a powerful PHP script that provides the logic required to accept form submissions on your website and email the results to you - and it's free. FormMail comes with built-in anti-spam functionality, comes with complete and guaranteed support, and is actively being improved.
Neither the Central Web nor the User Web server will automatically display the list of all files contained in a directory for security reasons; the directory may contain files that are not normally exposed through links on a web site. If you do need to provide access to files, you can either use an index.html page to link to the files you want, or you can use a directory listing utility in the directories you want to list; we recommend the PHP Directory Listing Script from Evoluted. Please install the newest version if you run into any problems.
Download PHP Directory Listing Script
We recommend that content which is required to be password-protected be placed in a Moodle course to increase security by limiting shared passwords. If you prefer to setup a protected directory, please follow these instructions.

of State Jim Bennett announced today that the court order regarding the early
qualifying date, as well as other deadline changes for this year's election
cycle, was handed down by Judge Myron Thompson.
"We are
appreciative of the fact that Judge Thompson agreed with us that the schedule
that will have qualifying of major party candidates ending on February 7th
was the correct thing to do to ensure soldiers overseas have a chance to vote
and have their vote counted," said Bennett.
The court
order is in response to a remedial order agreed upon by the State of Alabama
and the Department of Justice over a lawsuit filed for late military and
overseas ballots that were sent out in 2010 and 2012. Bennett became
Secretary of State in 2013.
"We are
pleased that this part of the process is concluded and that we can move forward
with definite dates for this election cycle," Bennett said.
said he felt like the Republican and Democratic parties were moving along
quickly with the qualifying process and that many candidates have already
filed. "We believe that the word was sent to the parties in time for them
to prepare for this change. We appreciate their willingness to
accommodate this schedule so we can get ballots out to our military in a timely
and efficient manner," said Bennett.
A bill to
change Alabama's law to reflect Bennett's schedule is now in the hands of the
legislature. The House passed the bill on Thursday. "We are
still very much in need for HB62, sponsored by Representative Ron Johnson, and
SB90, sponsored by Senator Bryan Taylor to be passed. This change is
vitally important as the schedule should be established in state law rather
than a court order," explained Bennett.
this new early schedule, chances for error are reduced and plenty of time is
provided for our Absentee Election Managers to send out military ballots on
time. It is and always will be a priority for this office that our
soldiers overseas have the opportunity to vote and for those votes to be
counted," said Bennett.

Ph.D. in Management
Bauer's Ph.D. program in management gives students the tools for conducting advanced business research, with special expertise in topics such as corporate governance, the energy industry, human resource strategy, technology innovation, and value-based leadership, among many other areas. All graduate students, regardless of the specialty they've chosen, take core courses in strategic management, organizational behavior, human resources, and organizational theory. Both micro and macro areas of management are covered, with students challenged to conduct state-of-the-art research and to develop outstanding teaching skills. An open door policy creates a collegial atmosphere where ideas and collaboration thrive. Our faculty and doctoral students co-author in top journals, and our students are actively presenting their research and winning awards at national and regional conferences. Outstanding teaching skills are honed as doctoral students assume full-time teaching assignments for undergraduate classes. Past graduates have found positions with Arizona State University, Texas A&M University, University of Florida, New Mexico State University, University of Wyoming, Georgia State University and University of Texas at Arlington.
Faculty research covers a broad range of Management topics including creativity and improvisation, leadership, technology innovation, organizational fairness, ethics, stress, compensation and human resources. Bauer's Management department also works in close collaboration with the UH doctoral program in industrial/organizational psychology, and doctoral candidates often find economics and sociology courses relevant to their research. Students are encouraged to present papers at prestigious management conferences right from their first year in the program. They also learn about the academic profession through invited guest lectures.
Student Support
Accepted doctoral students are hired as Instructional Assistants for 20 hours a week for four years and receive competitive year-round stipends of $33,000, approximately. This includes a $2100 per month stipend, a university fellowship during the first two years, and teaching compensation thereafter. Students receive a tuition waiver during four years (less student-paid fees). The Department of Management provides laptop computers for new students and additional funding for students presenting papers at national conferences.
While the application deadline is February 1st, we strongly encourage applicants to apply as early as possible. The Department will begin reviewing completed applications after December 1st, and submission prior to the deadline will enable us to consider applicants for the entire range of financial support from both the College and the University.
For more application information, please visit the admissions page here.
Ph.D. Spotlight
"The Bauer Ph.D. program in Management challenged the very boundaries of my intellectual capacity and consistently rejuvenated my intellectual curiosity through meetings with colleagues, guest speaker presentations, an array of interesting classes and programs designed to encourage students to reach their full potential. Being
able to meet with knowledgeable professors who are more than eager to hear your ideas and help you grow as a scholar is a truly rewarding experience. This type of open communication, trust and guidance is what
sets UH Bauer apart as a premiere research institution and is something that
potential candidates can
look forward to."

A badly injured Palo Alto rock climber was plucked via helicopter from a craggy and nearly vertical spire in Yosemite National Park after he took a tumble during an outing Sunday, officials said.
The 26-year-old man was the lead climber in a two-person team ascending Higher Cathedral Spire when trouble struck shortly after 10 a.m. Yosemite spokeswoman Kari Cobb said he was about 15 feet above an anchoring spot when he fell, plummeting 30 feet before his fall was broken 400 feet up from the valley floor.
"He landed on a ledge, and was laying prone on the rocks," said Officer Andrea Brown, who was the flight medic on a California Highway Patrol helicopter summoned from Fresno. "He was not able to move because of the pain."
Brown said they used the helicopter to drop highly trained park rangers next to the injured man -- a daunting task that involved hovering with the chopper's blades whirling just "10 to 20 feet from the rock."
She said that in terms of difficulty, she would rate the operation a "7 or 8 out of 10."
"It would have been OK if the winds were calm, but the winds were a little silly," she said. "There are times like that when we've had to say they're going to have to do it the old-school way."
Brown said the CHP does extensive training with the park rangers for situations like this -- training that is inevitably used each year when people get into tough spots. She gave the rangers high praise.
"They are world-class rock climbers, but not only can they climb, they can start IVs and give medical aid while suspended on ropes," she said. "They're pretty studly."
Once on the side of the spire, the rangers decided it would not be ideal to lower the injured man to the ground via rope, and that he would have to be hauled up to the helicopter. He was put in a vacuum-sealing splint to prevent further motion, loaded on a litter and hoisted to the helicopter.
"Once we had him secure, I asked him 'Hey how are you doing?' and gave him a thumbs up," Brown said. "He gave me a thumbs-up back and said 'I'm good,' " Brown said. "I'm fairly certain they gave him something for the pain or he wouldn't have tolerated that at all."
He was flown to a medical facility in Modesto, where he remained in serious but stable condition Monday, Brown said.
Cobb said that Yosemite is a "mecca for climbing," with people coming from around the world to conquer the park's famous peaks. She said the Higher Cathedral Spire is a popular choice.
"It's a very well-known climb," Cobb said. "It's something that is typically done on weekends on a regular basis. These guys were not on something that is rarely climbed."
But she said rescues are not uncommon, and they usually see one or two climber deaths each year. Even so, rock scaling is not regulated by the park, with the onus for safety falling on the climber.
"Most people who come here know what they are doing," she said. "If not, you are not going to get very far up the wall."
It was the second accident this month involving a Palo Alto resident falling off a rock formation while on a popular outing. Carol Hyde, 53, was hiking April 2 at Devil's Bridge near Sedona, Ariz., when she slipped and fell about 75 feet. She died at Flagstaff Medical Center later that day.

Generally food waste is organic and will decompose, but when mixed with other waste in the landfill food waste actually contributes to the production and release of harmful gases which potentially cause environmental damage. In fact, food scraps are the third largest segment of the waste stream with nearly 26 million tons generated each year. Of the overall waste stream,about 12% is food-related, behind paper and plastic
However, by composting your food waste, you can actually put that waste to good use by putting it back back into the earth. The resulting compost can be used in a variety of different ways to support your yard or garden.
Compostable Food Items:
- Uncooked vegetables and peelings
- Salad
- Fruit
- Tea bags
- Crushed egg shells
- Coffee grounds
- Non-food materials such as plants and flowers, grass clippings, leaves and shredded paper, cardboard.
Non-compostable Food Items:
- Food which has been cooked. Cooked food, even vegetables, can attract vermin
- Meat or fish
- Dairy products
- Non-food items such as cat or dog litter, large pieces of wood, coal ash
- Plastics and metals.
How to Compost
You will need to buy or make a compost bin to effectively to manage your waste to create compost. Check with your local municipality for compost bin rebate programs.
Place your compost bin on a level, well-drained area. Make sure that the base of your compost bin is open and place it on soil ideally. This is so that the compost can absorb nutrients and moisture from the soil below easily. It also enables creatures like worms to get into the waste and they help break it down into compost.
Cover the compost bin with a water-proof cover. Every three months you will need to stir the compost pile until it is ready. The process can take anywhere from four to 18 months depending upon your climate and the types of waste in the compost pile. The compost is ready when the compost is a consistent dark brown and develops an earthy smell.
Tips for Composting
- The ideal composting mixture will be a combination of all the materials in the first list above.
- Small items tend to compost faster. Cut larger items into smaller pieces to speed the composting process.
- Add fresh water periodically to maintain the needed moisture level for a healthy compost pile, but do not over-water. If your compost pile gives off a strong odor, add less water and add wood chips or cardboard to soak up the additional moisture.
- Access to direct sunlight will speed the composting process.
Easy and Quick Composting
For those that may not want to deal with the physical demands or time it takes for a compost pile to mature, we recommend the use of a tumbling composter. Tumbling is the most effective method for making compost quickly because it evenly mixes nitrogen and carbon materials(green and brown) for optimal eco-interaction. Add the benefit of complete distribution of moisture, air, and organic microbes throughout the batch and you'll create conditions perfect for express composting. Vented ends provide optimal aeration so this tumbler will help create finished compost 4 to10times quicker than a tradition composting bed. Plus its resistant to animal entry and it's easy to turn. Just load up the composting drum and tumble it a couple times a week. Nature will do the rest as it creates nutrient rich organic compost in as little as 3 weeks.

Hello Islander fans!
Wow, it has been a busy couple of weeks since conference play started. Our games vs. Texas State were rescheduled due to weather. We traveled to Louisiana to play Northwestern, then we played Texas State when we returned, and now we are in Arlington, Texas! Somewhere in there was Spring Break! So far we have battled each team and sit 3-3 in conference play. We split with everyone we have played. We are hoping this weekend to break that streak against UT Arlington.
We arrived yesterday and have already had a busy day! The team was able to take a tour of the ballpark in Arlington, home of the TEXAS RANGERS! It was an unbelievable experience! We learned some good history of the sport, we were able to be in the press box, and we even got to sit in the dugout on the same bench where Josh Hamilton and Ian Kinsler sit! It's a little bit of a bummer that we won't be able to see a game since the team is still at spring training in Arizona, but you could say we got the next best thing! I know some of us are already making plans to make it back to the area to see a game!!
More importantly, we are back at the hotel resting up for tonight! We will leave for the field in a bit for pregame. The last game the Islanders played on this field vs. UTA was the defining game of the season. Whoever won it would be the Southland Conference Champions! Thankfully, we took the game and earned ourselves the rings! I know this field will bring back a lot of emotions for the returners, but we are looking forward to creating new memories here tonight - returners and newbies!
It will be a fun night! Thanks for keeping up!

I love it! Review by Maria
While not a big winerd - we do open at least one bottle a weekend and I am amazed at the difference when using this pourer.
I have had mine since last summer and have not had a problem.
We used it a lot last weekend as we started opening the home made wine that my husband and friend made - it's a fantastic Cab / Merlot blend.
I recommend this Pourer - Aerator. (Posted on 8/30/2012)

You called Vizio and "confirmed with Vizio that it is DLNA compatible & It will play AVI & MP4 videos via a USB memory stick". The problem is playing things over DLNA and playing things from a thumb drive are two completely different things. I think you were just the victim of the same issue with when you asked for help from the router people, on in this case the Vizio rep is mistaking DLNA for their file playback features. It's very telling I can do a search of the entire manual for the TV and not find the phrase "DLNA" once.
Also, I saw these restrictions on the manual:
Note that there are no video formats mentioned. Also check out page 35 in the manual. There is a "Browse Music" button on the left of the interface that is used to "Toggle photos and music" (probably changes to "Browse Photos" when you're on the other side). Once again, no mention of videos. You might want to stick an actual mp4 video file on a flash drive and see if they were telling you the truth about even that. I recently had the opportunity to mess around with a Vizio blu-ray player at a friend's house. It had an Ethernet port and a USB port and said you could play back media on it, but we never could figure out how to get it to display any of the video files we had on the flash drive I'd brought with me.
- The USB thumb drive must be formatted as FAT32.
- Files on the USB thumb drive must end in a supported file extension (.mp3, .jpg, etc).
- The player is not designed to play media from external hard drives or mp3 players.
Might want to check if there are additional "apps" you can download and add to the VIA widget, maybe DLNA is a feature you have to add separately.
If you decide to call Vizio back, ask them some really specific DLNA questions and you'll probably trip them up. Questions like "can I use more than one PC to stream files to my TV?" or "what's the recommended server software for DLNA?". If your TV supports DLNA they should be able to tell you what container formats, video codecs, and audio codecs are supported in video files. Something else that I noticed is not mentioned at all in your manual.
In any case, if it doesn't work out you can just get a BD player that DOES support DLNA for under a hundred easily to use with your TV.
Thanks Seafox,
I think your right about Vizio mistaking, (intentionally or un-intentionally) USB drive access as meaning DLNA compatible. The TV will play MP4's and AVI's via a memory stick. I have tried this and it works well.
The Vizio rep said it "WILL NOT" play video from an external server and there are no VIA widgets to add this capability.
I really can't understand why they would omit this functionality from a WI-FI enabled TV. Seems that would be no problem.
Anyway, I posted my problem over on avs.com and was pointed to hsti.com. They make a wireless media stick that appears to the TV or any other device you plug it into as a normal fat32 formatted drive but actually will show whatever folders you share to it. Pretty cool! I have my 1TB NAS drive that is connected to my router set up as a share and it show everything on it. It's a bit slow in showing the folder contents but plays SD quality wireless without any hiccups. I think I'm going to re-partition the drive into 200MB drives to see if it speeds up the file reading. Nice device at any rate!!!! BITE HSTI HINEY VIZIO!!! LOL

2)benzaldehyde dispensers deployed in association with pheromone dispensers containing grandisoic acid to serve as a "pull" component and trans-2-hexenal used in neighboring trees as a "push" component. At petal fall, growers applied a full block insecticide application. In trap-tree plots, only the trap trees were subsequently treated with insecticide following the full block insecticide application. The grower-standard received insecticide sprays throughout the entire plot. Fruit injury evaluations are currently being made. The total number of fruit with oviposition scars and total number of oviposition scars are being recorded based on a sample of 20 fruit/tree in trap trees (with and without trans-2-hexenal) in the trap-tree plot and flagged control trees in the grower-standard plots, and in peripherally located trees surrounding each trap tree and control tree for a total of up to 6000 fruit per plot. In addition, 20 interior trees (20 fruit/tree) were sampled along diagonal paths from opposing corners of the trap-tree and grower-standard plots to provide a measure of efficacy of each treatment program to protect fruit from plum curculio immigration and injury. A total of 400 interior fruit per plot were sampled. In addition, semi-field trials of promising nematode strains are being conducted in New England and West Virginia. Finally, soil temperature and moisture are being monitored in each of these locations.

Texas entrepreneur Robert Pulliam has bad news for those who dream of some day bypassing Interstate 70 traffic and hopping a train to the mountains.
"The approach of the traditional high-speed rail is simply not going to work in Colorado," he said.
The grades are too steep, the weather too bad, the price tag too high.
Existing technology, he said, isn't going to be able to capture the Colorado Department of Transportation vision - a high-speed rail that can cover the distance from west Denver to Eagle County in an hour or less at a price taxpayers and lawmakers can stomach.
"If the existing technologies either physically can't, or you can't afford it, then it's time to develop some new technology," he said.
Queue Pulliam's solution, a transit model designed to tackle the punishing climb from Denver to Dillon for a fraction of the cost. It's an alternative take on the traditional high-speed rail, just without the rail.
Pulliam's train would pass instead through a series of elevated hoops, held aloft by a complex suspension system designed to allow the cars to round corners without derailing.
Because the model doesn't use tracks, the ground impacts of a traditional train both on existing infrastructure and the environment aren't a concern - a feature that significantly shaves down the cost, according to Pulliam.
"The problem is not making the train go fast," he said. "It's affording the track."
A pressure system created by opposing rollers working on either side of the cars he says would also allow his train to ascend the I-70 mountain corridor's 7 percent grades at the speeds CDOT engineers want to see.
The catch?
Pulliam hasn't actually built one yet.
"We want to work with one of their universities, if they (CDOT) will pay the tab ... and get the basics," Pulliam said. "We'll look at the corridor and see if this will work."
Transportation officials seem skeptical, but say they're keeping their options open. They met with Pulliam recently to hear his proposal.
"With the pace of change in all technology, we're leaving the door cracked for the possibility that there might be some technologies available in the next five years that could work or be improved over the conventional technology," CDOT rail program manager David Krutsinger said when asked about Pulliam's proposal. "If they could become commercially viable by the time we would implement the project, then we would consider them."
There have been plenty of hopefuls from the private sector offering alternative solutions to CDOT's I-70 conundrum. Since June, more than 150 private-sector representatives from around the world have expressed interest in the project.
But not all of them are ready to go, Krutsinger said, and CDOT's train is leaving the station.
If the project is determined to be feasible, transportation officials hope to be ready to sign on with a private developer by 2019, Krutsinger said.
The rail is a cornerstone of the package of solutions for the mounting traffic problems on the I-70 mountain corridor recommended in a programmatic study released last year.
CDOT sent out a request for information to private transit technology providers Aug. 16. It's the first step in a study to determine whether a high-speed rail to cover the 120 miles between C-470 in Jefferson County and the Eagle County Regional Airport is technologically and financially feasible.
"This study is making a critical determination about the potential role a high-speed transit system will play in solving the transportation congestion and safety challenges on the I-70 mountain corridor," CDOT Division of Transit and Rail director Mark Imhoff stated. "This is a unique opportunity for Colorado to become a global leader in advancing high-speed transit through sensitive environments and extreme landscapes."
Yet there are critics who say CDOT is tapping a 19th-century technology to solve a 21st-century problem. By Pulliam's count, it's been decades since significant strides were made in the arena of rail transit technology.
But transportation officials aren't the only ones who have to buy into innovations like Pulliam's model.
"These technology vendors have to prove and convince the better part of the state of Colorado, all along the I-70 corridor and the entire metro area, (before) we all would collectively say it's the right deal for Colorado," Krutsinger said.

Congress passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA) in January 2013. In doing so, they did several good things, such as renewing the IRA Charitable Rollover legislation. However, they also passed legislation that impacted many Americans when it came to their respective income tax brackets. Ducks Unlimited's Gift and Estate Planning department has representatives who are happy to speak with you or your advisors regarding ways to not only maximize your support of wetlands conservation, but also to help you adjust to the new regulations instituted by the American Taxpayer Relief Act.
The IRA Charitable Rollover is an excellent opportunity for Ducks Unlimited supporters age 70 1/2 or older. This legislation expires at the end of 2013, and with uncertainties in Congress, there is no guarantee we will ever see this again. Many supporters have found this to be a valuable tool to avoid the necessity of claiming a required minimum distribution (RMD) as income, or reducing the amount of future RMDs, which could have serious tax implications. This legislation allows you to transfer up to $100,000 from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) directly to Ducks Unlimited. Once again, we are happy to speak to you, or your advisors, regarding this opportunity.
Some other potential options to consider are Charitable Trusts or Gift Annuities. Either of these may be funded using appreciated assets, which are subject to a slightly different capital gains tax from years past. The stock market, for instance, has had a very good year and those of you with long-term stocks may have had much greater gains than anticipated. We encourage you to visit with your attorneys or advisors and consider whether or not these types of gifts are in line with the conservation legacy you wish to craft, or if these may benefit you and your family.
Ducks Unlimited sincerely appreciates the support of our members and we welcome the opportunity to speak to anyone interested in these unique opportunities. There are great benefits available to those interested in continuing your support in a different way. We are available to speak to you, your attorney, or your advisors in order to find ways to give that can help you and continue our efforts to accomplish our mission.

There was a time when Quinnlin's family didn't know about anti-rejection drugs and IV antibiotics and near monthly E.R. visits for her or her brother, Gage. Quinnlin and Gage survived kidney failure, dialysis and kidney transplants, both at the age of eight and now are in the phase where things like twice daily drugs and IVs and regular E.R. visits are (their) normal.
Last month when Quinnlin had a simple bump on her arm turn into an infection that was growing, her mom knew they'd end up in the E.R. and probably admitted before she even called their doctor to discuss the color, shape and size of the area.
"It looks red and it's growing. It looks exactly like Gage's did when it was MRSA." Quinnlin's mom said to the care team. MRSA is a resistant staph infection that sends fear into just about any medical professional, but many doctors, including organ transplant teams, are particularly worried about MRSA in their patients.
A Sunday afternoon brought a trip to the E.R. at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and the presumed admission to the hospital for IV antibiotics. Normally a hospital bag is packed for an E.R. trip, but it was early in the day Sunday, which means Quinnlin's mom knew she'd have time to get things from home. So they only brought Champerina, a book and chargers for the iPad and phone.
It wasn't long before the doctors were looking for a room for her upstairs on a floor and ordering an IV to be started to get the medicine in her as soon as possible. Luckily this was a slow Sunday that afforded the chance to get a visit from terrifically nice Amy Hood, Child Life Specialist, who helps kids cope with the procedures they will be having in the hospital. Working in the E.R. this afternoon was also a very skilled and smiling paramedic, Kevin Locke.
It wasn't long before Quinnlin (bravely, with Champerina tucked in the bend of her arm) was making demands about how this IV would happen.
"This arm."
"Right here."
"Champerina sits here."
"Give me a second and you have to tell me what you're doing."
"Mom, don't talk! It hurts more when you talk!"
Then it was done and Quinnlin started her journey up to her room where she would only spend one night – this time. Quinnlin and her family know that the next time, or the time after that, she could easily have to stay longer for any number of reasons. It isn't like Quinnlin sits around waiting to go to the hospital. She just knows it will happen again because it's a regular part of her life.
Quinnlin knows that and each and every time she goes to the hospital, she'll have support from her family and her friends. She also knows Champerina will be there and find the right arm to sit under during any given procedure, during any given time.

Sustainable Progress in the Corporate World
By Evelyn Neumayr-Oracle on Jan 17, 2013
By Jon Chorley, Chief Sustainability Officer and Vice President of SCM Product Strategy, Oracle
At the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Doha in November 2012, the consensus was that it's time to take action.
In his address to environmental ministers and climate officials from nearly 200 countries, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon summed it up by stating that "the abnormal is the new normal" and he highlighted events such as the flooding in Manhattan and Beijing, to the ice caps melting, permafrost thawing and sea levels rising.
But another aspect of this "new normal" is that business and the market are responding to the challenge. The green economy for example, which can be measured by looking at green jobs, green markets and investment in green industries, is showing genuine signs of momentum. An article from Steven Cohen, Executive Director, Columbia University's Earth Institute, in the Huffington Post does a great job of capturing the progress made.
There are also signs that businesses are increasing their commitment to sustainability. A new report by Calvert Investments, Ceres and World Wildlife Fund demonstrates the dramatic progress that has been made over last three years. The report, "Power Forward: Why the World's Largest Companies are Investing in Renewable Energy," showed that a majority of Fortune 100 companies have set a renewable energy commitment, a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction commitment or both. Additional findings included:
56% of Fortune 100 and Global 100 companies have set GHG reduction goals.
Of those, 13% have set specific goals for renewable energy use, with others using renewable energy to meet their GHG goals.
Many companies are shifting from purchasing short-term, temporary Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) to longer-term investment strategies like Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and on-site projects, indicating a long-term commitment to renewable energy and reaping the benefits of reduced price volatility.
And of course technology will play a critical role in helping businesses act on sustainability goals and objectives. That's why we continue to expand our sustainability solutions at Oracle and why we recently introduced a waste management solution for the Oracle E-Business Suite. Waste management issues are becoming an increasingly crucial part of environmental sustainability and we see it as one more way Oracle is helping businesses hit sustainability goals. It's exciting to be part of the progress being made in the green economy and sustainability and we are looking forward to continuing that work this year.

Creating a Portable Java/JavaFX Rig using the Raspberry Pi
By MarkHeckler-Oracle on Dec 31, 2012
So you're a mobile/embedded Java developer who just can't get enough time with your devices? Need to get your JDK/JavaFX ARM fix on the go? It's easy and inexpensive to do just that with only a few essential parts:
- Raspberry Pi
- Atrix Lapdock, which provides portable keyboard/video/mouse and power for the Raspberry Pi!
- A few cables and adapters (shown in videos, described in linked article below)
- SD card (8G or more, Class 6 or higher)
- Edimax EW-7811Un wi-fi adapter
That's all the hardware you'll need to make some serious, very portable ARM Java magic. Total cost was under $120 when I started this adventure; YMMV. :-)
There are a few differences between setting up the soft-float (SF) and hard-float (HF) versions of Raspbian, but this recent post covers the basics of getting an OS on the SD card for booting and configuring the Pi. The two key differences between SF and HF configuration to this point:
- Overclocking. HF Raspbian allows for easy overclocking from the raspi-config utility. A word of warning, though: The OS devs caution that the maximum overclocking setting has been known to corrupt SD cards, and I've found this to be the case several times. Stepping down one level to the next-to-fastest overclocking setting works a treat.
- Wi-fi configuration. SF Debian/Raspbian wi-fi configuration can be best accomplished using the instructions in the aforementioned post. Trying the same thing in HF Raspbian results in a message suggesting the use of the wi-fi graphical configuration tool...and it's even easier. With the Edimax, all I did was boot with both ethernet cable & Edimax connected, sudo su, startx, and run wpa_gui under the Internet menu (WiFi Config on the desktop if not root). Fill in your wi-fi details (I used WPA2/CCMP for my WAP) and then File|Save Configuration when finished. Quick, easy, and done. :-)
Below are links to a couple of short video tours of my mobile Java/JavaFX "testing rig". I'd embed them directly if the Roller blog software supported it (if someone knows how, please let me know!). After the video links is a link to an article/video I used as a template when I originally made mine. Great stuff, fun, and extremely useful...for me, anyway. Hope you enjoy it!

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
Nice application and really usefull. I can't imagine using my Mac without Growl installed. I use it with Adium and Skype, and nearly all my other applications as well.
I'd like the ability to customize the Display styles for every application, being able to use Red bubbles for mail and Blue bubbles for Adium, without having to tweak with the priority settings.
(As of Feb 1, 07, the download link is still Growl .75. It needs updating.)
I was skeptical about Growl for a while. It just didn't seem appealing. After using it a for a bit, I've grown to like it a quite a bit. Once you turn off notifications for things you don't care about, Growl become way less obtrusive. I love the Gmail Notifier/Growl integration and its integration with iScrobbler, which by extension becomes an iTunes notifier.
Growl is a great app, it should be included as a option in OS X Leopard! I Hope, well if not, its ok... IT is FREEWARE after all! I Love the integration with IRC Clients and FTP Clients. Check it out! Definetely!
It's a really good idea, but I've had it interfere with some programs, and overall it just annoys me. I prefer the little app-icon bounce in the dock, it's unobtrusive and it tells me all that I need.
The only thing I ultimately ended up using it for was displaying chats I didn't see pop up while gaming. And the program I have now bounces and/or plays a little * ding * when I get a new message, so I just go and check. I press a 2-key-combo (thanks to WindowShadeX) and I can read the message without even changing app focus.
It was on my system for a few months, and I tried just about everything it had to offer. It's been off my system for a few months, and I don't miss a thing (except, perhaps, for a few wasted CPU cycles).
@nlma : often, that's because the OSX-native ones are ported from non-OSX versions. Do you really expect a KDE-styled app to blend in on OSX? There are plenty of open source projects that are aimed first-and-foremost at OSX, and those are built using Apple guidelines for the GUI. They look like they always belonged.
There are exceptions to every general statement. Especially where programs are concerned.
My main brawl with open source applications in the end always boils down to the same thing. They're ugly and often not very intuitive. I'm going to flamed about this one, I know... but I'm right! I just don't see an open source operating system getting the same level of consistency as OS X for instance. And the advantage of a consistent OS is that apps that run on that OS naturally inherit that consistency. But often I'm wrong. And boy am I glad I'm wrong about this app ;) Looks good and delivers a great functionality!
I have one thing to say - It should be integrated in the next OS (like CoverFlow in iTunes 7)
You missed my point. If I already have these progs running, they'll tell me what's happening anyway. Usually their icons bounce in the dock.
If I'm using "chicken on the vnc" already for remote control of a networked desktop, why do I need growl to notify me of things as well? It's all there in front of me anyway.
Similarly others like mail, skype etc...they all notify me of events. I use an iTunes menu controller because of the control features, the notifications are secondary but they just happen negate the need for growl in my settings.
I don't need to download "loadsa progs" to tell me things.....they usually do that anyway and that isn't why I initially d'ldd them. Seeing as the notifications they have already do this, why add growl?
Also, even with lots of apps running I always tend to have a good idea what's going on with them anyway. So for me, growl isn't that useful.
(just a personal opinion is all)
Growl is a great App (and framework). I have all sorts of updates popping up on my screen as I work. This makes it easier not to flip between apps all teh time to see what is going on or why the icon is bouncing in the dock. I get a gentle message as I continue to work. freakin great.
Growl is no app. It's a framework - a framework that is used by many applications.
The point of Growl is to unify all kinds of unifications. Why should I use "loadsa progs" if Growl handles all by itself? Why should I click on some icon to see if my download is ready if I can be notified? I use Growl to get notified when my favourite TV shows beginn.

STOCKTON – A man who tried to take cologne from a department store in the 5100 block of Pacific Avenue around 6:55 p.m. Thursday slashed three guards as he tried to abscond with several items, according to police.
Jeffery Harrison, 49, was arrested on suspicion of robbery after he was eventually stopped. A guard from the store alerted two more in the mall, and when they confronted Harrison, he pulled out a box cutter and slashed at them, police said.
One guard was cut on the left calf, and one was cut on the right arm. They were treated at area hospitals for their injuries.

Arkeel runs wild for Ansonia in NVL title game
WATERBURY — Arkeel Newsome never really went anywhere. He was still wearing his blue No. 2 uniform, still running through and around opposing defenses.
But something about Newsome's first two months of the 2012 season felt odd. He had just one game with more than 200 rushing yards and just one with more than three touchdowns. Horrors.
Thursday night at Municipal Stadium was the setting for both Ansonia's 56-26 win over Woodland for the Naugatuck Valley League championship and Newsome's grand "return."
And in his typical soft-spoken fashion, the junior superstar welcomed himself back to the party.
"It's good to be back," Newsome said.
Newsome, who earned the NVL championship game MVP honors for the second year in a row, had 247 total yards and four touchdowns as the Chargers (10-0) extended their state-best winning streak to 24.
Ansonia warmed up in the first quarter before unleashing Newsome in the second. With a 21-7 lead, he dashed around the left end and broke two tackles en route to the end zone for a 28-7 lead early in the second.
The most impressive play of the night — and perhaps Newsome's already historic career — came on the Chargers' next drive. On the first play after Woodland (6-3) cut the lead back to two possessions, Newsome took off to the left from the Ansonia 47-yard line.
He broke two tackles within the first five yards, then made a series of cuts through defend-
See ANSONIA, Page 4C
ers to the middle of the field. Newsome weaved his way to the right and made another pair of defenders miss near the 10-yard line before coasting into the end zone.
"Tonight he was 100 percent and he was really running at a different level than we've ever seen him," Ansonia coach Tom Brockett said. "There aren't a lot of kids in America who can make the runs he made tonight. It was special."
Newsome also caught a 25-yard touchdown pass from Jai'Quan McKnight in the first quarter and a 15-yard scoring run on the Chargers' first drive after halftime to make it 49-14.
"He had a night," Woodland coach Tim Shea said. "He was fast. He looks good on turf. He's a very good player and that doesn't take away from any of the other guys. Ansonia poses a lot of matchup problems. You can try to take away the run or take away the pass. You have to pick your poison."
When the Hawks slowed Newsome, McKnight popped a big pass that ended in an Ansonia score more often than not. Of McKnight's six completions, half went for touchdowns.
He hit Andrew Matos on a 37-yard touchdown down the left side for the game's first score, then found Newsome on a 25-yard play-action pass over the middle to make it a 14-0 game. McKnight bombed a 49-yard touchdown pass in stride to Raeshaun Finney in the third quarter on the Chargers' last play with their first-string offense.
Ansonia needed 15 plays to score on its first two offensive series. The Chargers' last five touchdowns came on a total of 18 plays.
"I think the first two drives were more methodical and just feeling them out," Brockett said. "Then I thought we were able to do what we wanted to do on offense."
Woodland's offense warmed up in the second quarter, too, but only after Tanner Kingsley had a screen pass intercepted by Hezekiah Duncan and returned for a 28-yard touchdown to make it 21-0. It was the Chargers' sixth pick-six of the season.
The Hawks scored their two varsity touchdowns on the next two drives, thanks in large part to big plays. A 41-yard run by Rahmi Rountree and a 21-yard catch by Anthony Scirpo set up Kingsley's 4-yard touchdown pass to Brian Zaccagnini to make it a 21-7 game.
On Woodland's next drive, Kingsley hooked up with Scirpo on a 77-yard fly to cut the deficit to 28-14.
"As funny as it sounds, we went into it with a similar game plan (as the teams' first meeting)," Shea said. "We protected a little better and we caught the ball on those long plays. Hopefully we can build on that."
But the night belonged to Ansonia and Newsome, who didn't mind his relaxed load over the first nine games of the season.
"As long as we got the win, I was happy," Newsome said.
Newsome is a happy man today. His Chargers are NVL champs again. They're crushing everyone. And there's one more little detail: Arkeel Newsome is back.

Knitter's Review
March 15, 2012
If we are truly on the cusp of a colorwork renaissance, then it's time for a little primer.
Some of the most beautiful, intricate designs are created by the artful placement of just two colors along each row. It's called "stranded knitting," and who better to teach us than Meg Swansen and Amy Detjen in their new book, Knitting With Two Colors.

U.S. Policymakers Can't Ignore Storm Clouds from India
U.S. Policymakers Can't Ignore Storm Clouds from India
06.07.13 | By Chip Davis
This week, the Commerce Department released the latest data on America's trade balance, and the news was not good. While exports of U.S. goods and services rose in April, our trade deficit grew to $40.3 billion, up more than 8 percent in a single month.
But for American innovating sectors like semiconductors, biopharmaceuticals, and telecommunications that rely on exports to grow our economy and U.S. jobs, even more disturbing was our trade deficit with India, which increased by over 34 percent to more than $2.4 billion.
This news is hardly surprising, given that our trade deficit with India has more than quadrupled since 2009. For U.S. policymakers, it should serve as yet another of many red flags that have been raised by the Government of India's (GOI) refusal to play by internationally accepted rules and allow foreign firms to compete fairly. Instead of working to develop strong innovating industries of its own in technology, life sciences, and energy, India has instead chosen a path of protectionist actions that effectively locks out foreign competition and ultimately hurts its own economy and citizens in the long run.
In the short term, however, this kind of behavior has direct consequences for the United States in terms of jobs and economic growth. Many of the industries being shut out of India's market rely heavily on intellectual property (IP), and are the sectors of our economy that are showing the most promise for our economic future. IP-intensive jobs tend to pay higher wages (up to 30 percent higher than average); at the same time, however, the industries supporting these jobs depend on our ability to access foreign markets, especially large markets like India, for future growth.
In a sign that policymakers are beginning to understand the magnitude of the situation, several members of the Senate Finance Committee referenced India issues at the confirmation hearing for Michael Froman yesterday, President Obama's choice to be the United States Trade Representative. That's a good start, but must be followed up by action. That's why PhRMA has joined with America's leading innovators and drivers of our economy in a letter to President Obama that urges the Administration to stop this discrimination and mitigate the worsening damage to U.S. industry.
We look forward to working with Congress, President Obama, and the USTR to find solutions that will restore balance in our trading relationship with India and ensure American innovators can continue to provide the kinds of high-paying jobs that will help secure our country's economic future.

1.1 Zoology The tibiotarsus of a bird.
Example sentences
- A bird with a broken tibia popped off her own cast after a week.
- Severely affected birds may have a marked bowing of the tibia, be reluctant to move, and have a stilted gait.
- The bird's tibia (lower leg bone) has been fused with some of the upper bones of the foot to form the tibiotarsus.
1.2 Entomology The fourth segment of the leg of an insect, between the femur and the tarsus.
Example sentences
- In addition to the pretarsus, tarsus, tibia and femur, insects have two proximal (closer to the body) segments not shown in the figure.
- Both sexes have a pair of 'spurs' on each hind leg where the tibia, or fourth leg segment, joins the tarsus, or foot.
- The claw is closeable over its entire length and the prey is fixed between the femur (upper arm) and the tibia (lower arm) of the insect leg.
- Example sentences
- The most common fracture was patellar fracture, followed by fractures of the tibial spine and proximal tibia.
- When aligned, the surgeon drilled into the medullary canal of the tibia and seated the tibial prosthesis.
- One patient did require revision of the tibial tubercle osteotomy because of traumatic displacement.
