|Fairly easy hike. Was unable to do all three previously, so had to come back to knock off Missouri. Pauly's first 14er! Not bad for a boy from Missouri.

|Northwest Ridge
Date Climbed: Aug 6, 2008
|Started at the Missouri Gulch TH at 7:00, summitted around 11:00, back down to the car at 2:00PM. An easy, steep hike and a fun ridge walk to the summit...very pretty area, one that I'm sure I'll venture back to at some point. For now, I'm just glad that I don't have haul myself up those switchbacks any time in the near future. Talk about a quad workout!

Date Climbed: Aug 3, 2008
|I did the Northwest ridge from Elkhead Basin. Pretty bad weather. Avoided it and got to the top but had to cut my summit time down due to the weather coming in from the North. Very fun climb but a little hard.

Date Climbed: Jul 3, 1984
|Camped at Vicksburg with wife and toddler daughter. Soloed peak next day and descended on the back (south side) back to the pass. Found a perfect arrow head at about 12,000 feet - probably left (lost?) by a Ute hunter a century ago.

Date Climbed: Aug 26, 1995
|Dedicated this one to my Dad who passed away in l992. His home state was of course, Missouri. Left Missouri Gulch trailhead at 6:30am and was on top at 11:35am. Ridge walk seem scary as this was only my 4th 14er.

Date Climbed: Jun 29, 2007
|Left work in Denver at 3pm, started hiking at 615pm. Gained the Missouri summit ridge just as the sun set. Summitted about 30 minutes later. Descended under a full moon. One of the most beautiful and memorable hikes.
|Posted Jul 13, 2007 1:23 pm
|Via NW Ridge
Date Climbed: Jul 7, 2007
|Did all 3 this day starting with Missouri. My GPS says we climbed a total of 8220 feet. Except for the Couloir's, the snow is basically gone. There is now a pretty well developed trail along the NW Ridge route, much different than my first Missouri climb in 1993.
|Posted Jul 9, 2007 8:06 am
|Via Cloyses Lake TH
Date Climbed: Jul 7, 2007
|Clear creek wasn't too high and came up over the lower part of my bumper on my stock 4runner. Make sure you stay left on the first creek crossing--there is a deep hole to the right (Get out and walk the creek first before you cross). Only scraped bottom once or twice on the road on the way up...no problem for most stock 4wd and really easy for vehicles with some lift. Spent the night up at Cloyses lake. We were the only ones camping at the lake...beautiful place to camp. This isn't true car camping though cause the lake is maybe a quarter mile from the end of the road. Bring a backpack or something if you want to haul your camping gear up to the lake.
Met the rest of our group in the morning at the TH and started up the trail just before 9. Steep, but beautifully short. We summitted around 1145. Some storms came in shortly after noon and started to produce some thunder. I bailed on returning back along the west ridge and went south on the other ridge to the saddle there and then dropped down one of the chutes there back into the basin where we came from. I got down over an hour faster than my companions that went back the way we came up. This is a great escape route from the ridge if you get in bad weather as long as you don't mind a little "scree surfing". It wasn't that steep and you would sink into the scree and sand sort of like plunge stepping when snowshoeing. It was nice and easy on my knees. However, its not very low impact as you are knocking rocks down so don't do it unless you really need to for your safety. Fun day. Great easy hike.

Amy Adams will play Janis Joplin in Lee Daniels' next movie.
"This is my next project for sure," Daniels told the Huffington Post. "I had no idea Janis Joplin was so smart -- intellectual, even. Look, some of the smartest people in the world have been drug addicts."
He may make good movies, but maybe we should keep this guy away from elementary school motivational speeches.
Adams has started preparing for the role, telling the New York Times in June, "I've been working on my rasp. Just by tearing up my voice. I'm going to try to do as much singing as I can. But I'm also realistic, and I might need some assistance."
If you just flashed to Jenna from "30 Rock" preparing for the same role, you aren't alone.
Daniels, whose latest film "The Butler" opened to strong reviews and box office returns, said he also wants to do a horror film at some point, as well as and adapt "Miss Saigon" for the big screen.

What will the Today Show's 4th hour do without Kathie Lee's incessant absorption of vino?
Just kidding! It was a short-lived April Fools Day joke from KLG, who proved exactly how serious she was about the statement by immediately drinking out of a comically-oversized glass of wine. So oversized, in fact, that it holds up to two and a half bottles of wine, which Kathie Lee declared will only "get her to lunch." Never change, KLG!

US Electricity System in Regulatory and Terrorist Crosshairs
President Obama, Secretary of State John Kerry, and 28 Senate Democrats remain fixated on "dangerous manmade climate change." In the process, they are ignoring real threats to our living standards and very lives.
Just one year ago, the Wall Street Journal has reported, saboteurs attacked a power substation near San Jose, California. They cut fiber optic cables and shot up 17 transformers, causing them to overheat and fail. Apparently, they wanted to trigger a monumental blackout. Thankfully, grid operators were able to reroute power and avoid blackouts.
A Federal Energy Regulatory Commission official called the attack "purposeful, extremely well planned and executed by professionals who had expert training." Other utility experts said it could have been a "dress rehearsal" for much bigger operation – one that could take down much of the entire US or even North American electricity grid for weeks, months or even a year. That would have a devastating effect on our economy, living standards and lives. Indeed, many people would likely die, as food, fuel and even safe drinking water become unavailable.

LONDON (AP) -- It's a familiar scene -- people lining up outside bookstores to be the first to get the new book by J.K. Rowling. But this time, the people lining up were adults -- waiting for the first grown-up book from the author of the Harry Potter series.
No wizard costumes were seen in the crowds as British bookshops opened their doors early.
The book, called "The Casual Vacancy," is being released five years after the last book in the boy wizard saga. It's already number one on Amazon's U.S. chart.
Many of the early buyers were Harry Potter fans who, like the author, have moved on to more adult fare.
Grace Proctor, a 23-year-old "massive" Potter fan, was the first to buy the book at one London store. She says of Rowling, "She's such an amazing writer, I don't think she can go wrong."

CCMC acquires additional properties
July 20, 2013
PARKERSBURG — The Camden Clark Medical Center has acquired additional property in the areas of Seventh and Eighth streets in downtown Parkersburg....
This is not "on subject", but I must respond to comments made by "Whatever". You acknowledge folks that don't have insurance "use the ER" and then state "It doesn't matter why a person goes to the ER"; all in lamenting the long wait-times and possibly the staff's attitude. It certainly does matter WHY a person goes to the ER; it should only be for a medical emergency. The long wait-times are exactly caused by people seeking treatment for non-emergency afflictions. The cost of that – often "free" – care is then shifted onto those that can pay; those with private insurance. That cost-shifting is why insurance costs so*****much.
If you present at the ER with a real medical emergency, you will not have to wait; if you wait 3hrs for treatment, it means it was not an emergency.

It looks like Camden Clark is finally moving forward. It's time the community realizes that the facilities at St Joe are antiquated. We should expect more for our healthcare - and not expect local healthcare providers to hold on to a decaying building for sentimental reasons. It's time for modern facilities and a modern model for healthcare. Time will tell if Camden Clark will deliver. In the mean time, the community needs to step up and support our local hospital.

I think buying up all this property is a waste. Why not fix up St. Joe and allow patients a choice. Camden Clark ER has poor treatment history as well as more than above average wait time for care. It doesn't matter why a person goes to the ER . They should be treated with respect and quickly making them wait doesn't deter the use of the ER. If a person does not have insurance it is difficult to find a physician. So they do use the ER and that should not be a reason to not give the same kind of care someone with insurance would receive. Quit trying to get bigger and get better!

Dorman's Olley earns SHJ's Player of the Year honor
Published: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 11:51 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 15, 2013 at 11:51 p.m.
Kenya Olley missed more than half the season recovering from an ACL injury.
But the impact the Dorman senior post made upon her return more than made up for the absence.
Olley suffered the injury during summer camp preparing for the upcoming season, causing her to miss 19 games. Her first game back came at crosstown rival Spartanburg, and she didn't miss a beat by scoring 20 points with 15 rebounds, five blocks and three steals as the Cavaliers won in overtime.
The win began a run of nine straight wins in which Dorman earned back-to-back Region II-4A titles, won the upper state championship and played in its first state championship game since 2008. Olley averaged 13 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks in her 10 games played and earned all-region, all-state and spots in the Carolinas All-Star Classic and Spartanburg vs. Greenville FCA All-Star Game.
Due to her impact on the court, Olley has also been selected as the Herald-Journal/GoUpstate Preps Girls Basketball Player of the Year. She said the honor comes as a surprise.
"I've never been a player of the year, but it's a good feeling to come back from an ACL injury," Olley said. "I never thought I'd get it after just playing in a few games."
Olley showed up in a big way during the Cavaliers' playoff run in a comeback win against Greenwood in the third round and in the upper state victory against Wade Hampton at the Bi-Lo Center. She scored nine points, including the go-ahead basket with 32 seconds left in regulation against the Eagles, and led the team with 15 points against the Generals.
Olley said, while happy to contribute offensively, it was defense in which she felt the largest contribution was made.
"I felt like I helped by blocking shots and rebounding," she said. "But, I also liked helping out by scoring."
Olley said earning the honor will help her as she prepares to spend the next four years playing at UNC Charlotte. She credited her coach, Valorie Whiteside, and teammates for helping her enjoy a successful season.
"It gives me a lot of confidence," she said. "I get a lot of it from my team, coaches and family. Coach came from Appalachian State and was a huge player for them and brought that to Dorman. She knows what it takes to be a good player. She made us work hard and never let us quit. She has made a huge impact."

Twitter IPO Isn't Going to Reshuffle League Tables
Twitter Inc.'s IPO doesn't look likely to shake up much of the league tables much.
The deal, which Twitter says will raise up to $1 billion, at this point, is the most highly anticipated IPO of the year. But at $1 billion, it isn't enough to move the needle.
Through the first three quarters of the year there was $36.2 billion in U.S. IPOs, according to Dealogic. That was slightly behind the first three quarters of 2012, when $38.1 billion in deals were done, with Facebook's $16 billion deal making up nearly half that amount.
Globally, the year is at $99.1 billion for the first three months, up 12% from the prior year, according to Dealogic. The year has been marked by a parade of global $1 billion IPOs, 20 in total, the most since 2007 when 30 deals above $1 billion went public.
Twitter would join that crowd, but so far it's unclear if it will be the kind of data-skewing IPO that Facebook was.
Of course, Twitter could always raise billions more. Facebook, for instance, first announced it was seeking up to $5 billion and then went and raised over $16 billion.
Either way, Twitter selected banks that already fill out much of the leaders for IPOs, meaning the top 10 will, as of this filing, remain largely static.
Twitter has selected Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and J.P. Morgan its lead bankers, with Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Deutsche Bank next and then Allen & Co. and CODE Advisors.
Bookrunners get equal credit in the IPO league tables, and most of Twitter's banks are in the top seven of U.S. IPO league tables for the first nine months of the year, according to Dealogic.
BofA-Merrill is in the lead, followed by J.P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs. Deustche Bank is No. 5 and Morgan Stanley is No. 7.
So far not on the offering are Citigroup, currently No. 4, Credit Suisse, so far No. 6, as well as Barclays, Wells Fargo and UBS, which round out the top 10.

Bank of America's profit soars, but revenue dips
Published: Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 8:07 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 8:07 a.m.
NEW YORK (AP) — Bank of America's profit soared in the first quarter, helped by mortgages and wealth management. But revenue fell and profits missed expectations.
The Charlotte, N.C., bank reported earnings available to common shareholders of $2.3 billion in the first quarter. That('s up nearly seven times from earnings of $328 million a year ago.
Its earnings per share amounted to 20 cents. That missed the expectations of analysts polled by FactSet, who had expected 22 cents per share.
Revenue was $23.9 billion after stripping out an accounting charge. That was down 8 percent from last year, but it beat analysts' expectations of $23.3 billion.
Shares of the nation's second-largest bank by assets fell 40 cents, or 3.3 percent, to $11.88 in premarket trading.

Not So Fast, or So Simple
Millions of homes in the United States have been lost to foreclosure, and several years in, there are few signs that the crisis will ease up any time soon. Millions more borrowers may yet default on their mortgages and face foreclosure. Meanwhile, policy makers have yet to reach a consensus on the most effective solution for assisting borrowers in order to avert these pending foreclosures.
Offering mortgage modification to at-risk borrowers is not just an act of goodwill. Foreclosures cost borrowers, lenders, and society as a whole. A neighborhood where many homes go unmaintained after being foreclosed can see property values drop. As its tax revenue sinks, local services like schools and fire departments strain to meet demand and the quality of life for all residents suffers. For lenders, the foreclosure and resale process may, in some cases, be more costly than modification.
Yet large-scale modification efforts have not succeeded in preventing millions of foreclosures in the United States, as many proponents of such programs had claimed, in large part because of challenges in implementing such programs in a simple and transparent way. It's easy to see why. It can be difficult to identify which borrowers need help. While an estimated 10 to 15 million households look, on paper, like they are at risk of missing a payment and going into default, most of these households continue to make payments. When these at-risk borrowers do default, behavior varies. Some default as soon as they go underwater when the value of their home drops below what they paid for it. Others wait, possibly deterred not only by the threat of losing their homes, but also by the prospect of a blemished credit score that will endanger prospects for securing a future mortgage, credit card, or student loan.
To help at-risk borrowers avoid foreclosure, mortgage modifications are focused on decreasing monthly payments for the borrower. Extending modifications to those who are already delinquent on their mortgages is one option. If a bank cannot identify which of its at-risk borrowers will default, missing payments is surely a signal that borrowers want help and would accept it. The complication with this seemingly straightforward solution though, is that it risks strategic behavior on the borrowers' side that is, borrowers missing mortgage payments with the intention of attaining a modification even if they could afford to make their payments potentially triggering a wave of delinquencies by borrowers who would otherwise continue to pay their mortgages.
This question is at the crux of the policy debate, says Professor Chris Mayer, who has advised the debate and testified before Congress throughout the foreclosure crisis. "Opportunists might respond to fixed rules strategically, and the people who do that are likely to be the more sophisticated people who don't need the help," Mayer says.
Policies that use more elaborate verification processes seem more likely to limit strategic behavior by borrowers checking income, employment, savings, and the like, it's thought, will discourage opportunists seeking unneeded mortgage modifications. But verification is costly, and, because it takes more time than simpler programs, modifications may come too late for the borrowers who most need it. If verification rules are too stringent or complicated, many people who probably should get help might not qualify. Critics have pointed to the Home Affordable Mortgage Program of 2009, citing its abstruse rules as a reason for its limited effectiveness.
"The nightmare scenario for every policy maker is that you try to help five or six million at-risk borrowers and you put 40 million borrowers into delinquency because everyone starts missing payments in order to default and reap its benefits," says Professor Tomasz Piskorski, whose expertise includes real estate finance and asset securitization and who frequently collaborates with Mayer. "So do we want to have simple programs that extend help quickly but risk strategic behavior, or do we want to spend more money and time on costly verification procedures to limit strategic behavior?"
Mayer and Piskorski, working with Professor Edward Morrison of Columbia Law School and Business School doctoral candidate Arpit Gupta, with support from the School's Milstein Center for Real Estate, sought a way to determine the extent to which people are, in fact, willing to game a simple modification program.
When Countrywide Financial was sued by a large number of states' attorneys general in 2008 for deceptive lending practices, the firm agreed, as part of the subsequent legal settlement, to offer a simple, broad-based mortgage modification program to borrowers. Countrywide financed approximately one-fifth of all subprime home loans in the United States in the early 2000s, and a number of features of the settlement presented an ideal test case that allowed the researchers to approximate a randomized experiment. The modification program was likely unanticipated by most borrowers and was available to all Countrywide subprime borrowers with certain types of loans. Since other lenders also offered the same type of loan, the researchers could rule out that there was anything unique about the terms Countrywide gave its subprime borrowers versus what other banks gave borrowers who took out the same types of loans. Countrywide's plan had very simple eligibility requirements with little screening or additional documentation required any borrower who missed mortgage payments was considered eligible for help (although not all received it).
The researchers were able to gain unprecedented access to detailed individual (but anonymous) credit data from Equifax and mortgage default data from BlackBox Logic for millions of borrowers. Linking the sets of data allowed the researchers to make two different comparisons: they could observe the behavior of Countrywide borrowers and their credit ratings before and after the modification program was announced, and they could compare Countrywide borrowers who were offered the modification program with other lenders' borrowers who were not offered a modification option to see how both groups behaved over the same period of time.
The researchers attributed strategic default to instances where Countrywide borrowers who were eligible for the modification program defaulted (defined as missing at least two mortgage payments) but otherwise comparable borrowers from a different lender did not similarly miss payments. Mayer and Piskorski's results indicated that 20 percent of these Countrywide borrowers who they estimate would have otherwise stayed current on their payments if not for the modification offer went into delinquency, compared with similar borrowers who did not have the option of entering a simple mortgage modification program. In addition, the borrowers most likely to respond strategically were those already in the best financial shape of all borrowers, those with the most available credit and lowest loan-to-value ratios. "The results suggest that there is a sizable group of households for whom moral considerations and the threat of bad credit are not sufficient deterrents to strategic default," Piskorski says.
That 20 percent may not fully reflect the potential for strategic default. "Our research looked at just a few months after the program was announced, so it likely captured people who follow the news closely and responded fairly quickly," Piskorski continues. "In a national, broadly advertised program the response is likely to be larger, partly because over time people could advise family and neighbors to default, and the effect would trickle down."
Mayer adds, "20 percent is a number that says strategic behavior is not the only thing we should think about when pursuing modification programs. If you want to target your resources most effectively, it may mean spending time and effort to find out who will benefit most from mortgage modification."

VIENNA -Danny Goodwin, the longtime chief of the Vienna Volunteer Fire Department, died Monday night in Cincinnati. He was 67.
"He fought very, very hard," Amy Stoltz, his daughter, said.
Goodwin was in Cincinnati visiting with his family and grandkids for Christmas when he became ill and short of breath, Stoltz said. His family immediately took Goodwin to the hospital where doctors discovered he was suffering from a chronic lung disease.

"He was unaware of it. It was very rare," Stoltz said.
Goodwin remained hospitalized in Cincinnati until his passing Monday night.
Terry Hefner, chief of the Waverly Volunteer Fire Department and president of the Wood County Firefighters Association, knew Goodwin for about 30 years.
Fact Box
In Brief
* Vienna Fire Chief Danny Goodwin died at the age of 67 on Monday in Cincinnati.
"He was well known and well liked all over the state," Hefner said. "Just an all-around good guy. He will be greatly missed."
Goodwin was unique and always willing to help any department, Kim Marshall, chief of the Deerwalk Volunteer Fire Department, said.
"There's only one way to put it," Marshall said. "He was Danny Goodwin, fun to be around, very dedicated. The city of Vienna and VFD has lost a huge servant."
Goodwin was a dedicated public servant, Steve Stephens, a Vienna city councilman and former police chief, said.
"He was one of those guys that would give you the shirt right off his back if you needed it," he said.
Goodwin, a father of three sons and a daughter, had been a firefighter since the age of 15. He began as a member of a junior department started by his father, Wilbert Goodwin, Stoltz said.
Goodwin was a member of the Vienna VFD since 1971 and served as chief for more than 20 years. He also served two tours in Vietnam.
Goodwin's son Lee also serves on the fire department along with his dad's younger brother, Assistant Chief Larry Goodwin, who's served since 1972.
Goodwin's passing is a huge loss, Mayor Randy Rapp said.
"He was a great mentor to other firefighters and well respected around the state, an absolute professional," Rapp said.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

With just over a week to go before Election Day, the Golden State is gearing up for -- or perhaps, altogether ignoring -- what could be its lowest-ever turnout in a primary for governor.
The top of the ticket looks like a yawn, as most experts see two contenders vying for the right to lose to Gov. Jerry Brown in November. And despite California's "top-two" primary system opening the ballot to all voters, a dearth of competitive races, the absence of citizen initiatives and general voter apathy have changed the character of midterm primaries.
Those few who are likely to vote in a primary like this year's generally are "older, wealthier, whiter, more likely to be homeowners, more educated ... and more ideological true believers," said Corey Cook, director of the University of San Francisco's Leo T. McCarthy Center for Public Service and the Common Good. "Not at all reflecting the population of the state."
It was a whole different ballgame half a century ago, when an average of 63 percent of California's registered voters came out to nominate candidates for governor from 1950 to 1966. But a long slow decline that began around 1980 eventually brought the state to an all-time low in 2010's primary, when only a third of registered voters cast ballots.
Four years later, more and more voters may be sitting out the primary.
"I think this might be an important election but I'm not sure," said Enrico Howard Sr., 49, of Hayward, noting he usually votes only in presidential elections and hasn't paid this primary much mind yet. "My ballot is still sitting on my dining room table."In the Bay Area this year, the race for San Jose mayor and Rep. Mike Honda's fight to keep his seat are relatively hot contests, but those are just isolated pockets of voter interest. Down-ticket statewide races rarely generate much heat, and this year is no exception; the races for state controller and secretary of state may be competitive, but they won't attract many voters to the polls on their own.
Meanwhile, the top-two primary system and online voter registration haven't created the bumper crop of new voters their supporters had hoped for, said Eric McGhee, a Public Policy Institute of California research fellow and an expert in voting behavior and political participation.
"I wouldn't be optimistic," he said. "People seem to be really jazzed by the competitive contest between the parties, and primary elections don't really offer that."
At least, they didn't until California adopted its top-two primary system, in which voters of any party affiliation can choose from among all candidates. "But I don't know yet whether voters are seeing it that way or are still operating in that Republican-Democrat world," McGhee said. "There's some crossover voting, but a lot of people are still making decisions within each party. That may change over time and that may get people more excited ... but I think that's only likely to happen for statewide races."
Independent voters historically "are not usually that jazzed about showing up for a primary election and usually need something to help get them there," he said.
Citizen-initiated statewide ballot measures often provided that added draw in the past. But a 2011 law moved such measures to November general elections or special statewide elections called by the Legislature, which have significantly higher turnouts. "The idea of direct democracy is to involve as many voters as possible," Brown wrote in his signing message. "This bill accomplishes that objective."
That's true, but it also gave potential primary voters even less to get excited about, said Thad Kousser, a UC San Diego associate professor and political expert: "It helps California democracy but it makes the disease even worse."
Kousser said term limits also might affect how exciting or boring voters find such primaries. "Everyone's waiting for seats to come open at the top of the ticket -- the real tough challengers are not going to take on Jerry Brown now; they know term limits will take him out in 2018."
New poll numbers from the Public Policy Institute of California show just how unenthusiastic Californians are about this election.
Of 901 likely primary voters surveyed May 8 through 15 -- less than a month before the election -- only 46 percent said they were following news about the candidates for governor closely. That's far lower than the 67 percent who said the same in May 2010, or the 68 percent in May 2006.
The new poll also found 53 percent are satisfied with their choices for governor in this primary, while 32 percent are not satisfied and 15 percent are unsure. The poll's margin of error among likely primary voters was plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.

This article appeared in our Spring 2013 Update publication.
For men and women who have exhausted all other options for the treatment of overactive bladder or urinary incontinence, Gifford's Urology Department is offering a new alternative – Medtronic InterStim Therapy, or sacral nerve stimulation.
The therapy involves surgery to place a small, thin device that looks and works much like a pacemaker under the skin in the upper buttock. The device is connected to leads, or soft wires, that are placed near the sacral nerves, sending mild stimulation to the nerves.
"It's stimulates the nerves that affect the bladder. It turns off the sensory input to some degree and increases motor function," urologist Dr. Richard Graham explains.
"This is an option for the patient who has tried everything and nothing has worked," he says.
For patients who have tried other options without success, one major plus of this procedure is that patients can try the device in advance of undergoing surgery.
Right in the office, at either Gifford's Randolph urology practice or the Twin River Health Center in White River Junction, Dr. Graham or physician assistant Nancy Blessing can insert the leads under the skin near the tailbone and test for a reaction. Patients then go home with an external device for a few days to see if it helps.
Usually the goal is to decrease one's number of trips to the bathroom by at least half, notes Vice President of Surgery Rebecca O'Berry. Ultimately, it's up to the patient to decide if, based on the results, he or she wants to have the surgery.
People who are interested in learning more about this option or who have untreated incontinence or overactive bladder, should call Gifford's urology team in Randolph at 728-2470 or White River Junction at 296-7370 to set up an appointment to discuss this and the many other treatment options available.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. - The U.S. Green Building Council awarded Northstar California with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for the Zephyr Lodge, the new on-mountain restaurant that opened December 2011. The Zephyr Lodge has provided resort guests with a new on-mountain casual dining experience that includes views of the Sierra Crest and quality food options, such as a Napa salad bar and an Asian noodle bowl station.
Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council in 2000, LEED certification offers third-party validation of a project's green features and verifies the building is operating the way it was designed. The five categories projects can earn LEED points for satisfying green building criteria include sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources and indoor environmental quality.
"We're proud to have earned LEED certification for the Zephyr Lodge project," said Bill Rock, chief operating officer of Northstar. "Both as a company and as a resort, we're committed to doing the right thing when it comes to the environment. Constructing our new lodge using sustainable practices was incredibly important from the start, and it's great to have recognition of this beautiful facility by the U.S. Green Building Council."
Completed in 20 weeks by local contractors under the oversight of Vail Resorts Development Company, the 17,000-square-foot lodge features 700 seats, provides 50 percent more on-mountain seating, and access to 26 additional on-mountain restrooms. The project received USGBC credit for elements in the following categories: sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, innovation in design and regional priority.
Specific LEED recognized features include: Construction activity pollution prevention; site selection; development density and community connectivity; alternative transportation (parking capacity); site development (protect or restore habitat and maximize open space); stormwater design (quality control); heat island effect (nonroof and roof); light pollution reduction; water use reduction; water efficient landscaping; fundamental commissioning of building energy systems; minimum energy performance; fundamental refrigerant management; optimize energy performance; enhanced refrigerant management; storage and collection of recyclables; recycled content; minimum indoor air quality performance; environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) control; outdoor air delivery monitoring; increased ventilation; construction indoor air quality management plan (during construction and before occupancy); low-emitting materials (adhesives and sealants, paints and coatings, flooring systems, composite wood and agrifiber products); controllability of systems (lighting, thermal comfort); exemplary performance (open space); and LEED accredited professional (innovation in design).
The Zephyr Lodge is not the first project at Northstar to receive LEED certification. The Village at Northstar is also LEED certified, and was the first "green" village at any U.S. ski resort when it was completed. Additionally, the Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe, located at mid-mountain at Northstar was also awarded LEED certification in 2010, making it the first-ever LEED certified Ritz-Carlton resort.
Those interested in experiencing the Zephyr Lodge don't have to wait much longer. The resort is scheduled to open for winter operations on Friday, Nov. 16, weather and conditions permitting. For more information, visit www.NorthstarCalifornia.com.

Marsha Wonnacott, daughter of Mark and Diane Wonnacott of Ridgecrest, has accepted a call to serve in the Texas McAllen Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Marsha will be entering the Missionary Training Center on May 22. When asked why Marsha had the desire to serve a mission she said, "I can't fully express all the reasons I want to serve a mission. I know the Gospel has brought me so much happiness. I can't really enjoy the knowledge that the Lord loves me, and the knowledge that the Atonement gives me that my family will be together forever, without wanting everyone else to know what that feels like. I also know the Heavenly Father loves His children, and He wants so badly to be able to live with them forever and give them everything He can. He has done so much for me, and this is the only way I know that I can possibly give anything in return: to bring some of His children to be with him forever. I hope to be able to be a tool in the Lord's hands. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to give up all my personal pursuits and do whatever the Lord wants me to do."
Wonnacott is excited to be able to leave for her mission a few months earlier than she had originally expected. In April of this year, Thomas S. Monson, president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, made an announcement, changing the age-requirement for both young men and young women missionaries. Men can now begin serving a mission at 18 years of age (rather than 19) and women can serve at 19 years of age (rather than 21).
Wonnacott explained her feelings about the announcement, "I was excited because I knew, immediately, the Lord had prepared me so perfectly for that moment. I had had some personal struggles, and was confused about a lot of things, and this announcement answered so many of my prayers, and made it absolutely, unshakably clear to me that the Heavenly Father has a plan, and that He loves me."
Marsha Wonnacott will be serving as a missionary for 18 months, sharing the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If you would like to learn more information about the work she will be doing or the church, please visit www.mormon.org.

Laparoscopy is one way to do this surgery:
Some medical centers do esophagectomies using robotic surgery. In this type of surgery, a small camera and other instruments are inserted through small cuts in the skin. Your surgeon will do the surgery while operating a computer and watching the monitor. The surgeon controls the instruments and camera with a computer program.
These surgeries usually take 3 to 6 hours.
The most common reason for removing part, or all, of your esophagus is to treat cancer. You may also have radiation therapy or chemotherapy before or after surgery.
Surgery to remove the lower part of your esophagus may also be done to treat:

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Frank Gore not only helped seal the 49ers' 23-10 win with a 39-yard run, he also played a behind-the-scenes role in preparing Vernon Davis for a go-ahead touchdown catch.
Gore threw an array of passes to Davis on the side in practice last week, and Davis credited those sessions for his ability to keep his feet inbound in the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown catch 5 seconds before halftime.
"I knew it was legit. Me and Frank worked on it with 20 to 30 passes in practice," said Davis, whose touchdown was granted upon a replay review for a 13-10 over the host Carolina Panthers.
Said Gore: "We'd be on the sideline when the defense was practicing. I'd say, 'You want to be great. Let's do this.' Then I'd make crazy throws — low, high, one-hand (catches), behind him. We're just trying to get better."
Gore actually finished with more receiving yards than Davis, as the 49ers' running back made an 8-yard catch on the game's first series.
Of Gore's 84 rushing yards, 39 came on a third-and-1 run to spark a fourth-quarter drive that took eight minutes off the clock and led to an insurance field goal. "I've never seen anybody pop big runs like Frank Gore does when there's 9, 10, 11 men in the box," coach Jim Harbaugh said.

The chancellor of Syracuse University says his college's ranking as the nation's top party school is a "wake-up call" for change.
In a message posted on the university's website Tuesday and emailed to students, staff and alumni, Kent Syverud says being designated The Princeton Review's No. 1 party school isn't a good thing for a school to be labeled.
Syverud says Syracuse alumni, students and faculty like to have a good time, but they didn't pour their lives into building the university "primarily to create a party."
The chancellor says Monday's release of The Princeton Review's rankings serves as a wake-up call for working on two things: Enhancing awareness of Syracuse's academic excellence and paying more attention to activities - parties included - that "get in the way of students succeeding."

The Tardis has landed.
Comic-Con has always been a magnet for Whovians (devotees of "Dr. Who") but this year the level of excitement has reached supernova levels. Not only is it the 50th anniversary of the Time Lord saga but fans of the British sci-fi juggernaut are also eagerly awaiting a new regeration of the Gallifreyan. Who will be the new doctor?
Beloved pretty boy Matt Smith is about to hang up his bow tie and no one is quite certain who will take up the torch. Fangirls are naturally are hoping for another toothsome doctor in the proud tradition of David Tennant and Peter Davison.
Within minutes upon opening its doors, lines of rabid fans wrapped around the BBC booth like sharks circling their prey. Soon no one could tell where the bloody line ended but no one minded, happily beholding the Who memorabilia for sale. Raggedy scarf, anyone?
Many wannabe companions are chomping at the bit for Sunday's panel hoping for a scrap of news.
"They won't divulge anything but you can still hope," says Rena Wiriaatmadja, a librarian from Manteca. "It's very bittersweet for me. I was a huge David Tennant fan. And I'd love to see a woman doctor."
Wiriaatmadja, whose 14-year-old daughter Bailey is also a hard-core Whovian, would also like to see some regeneration on the companion front.
"Clara is mixed bag for me," she says. "I loved Rose. Martha was smart but she was too in love with the doctor. Donna was great!"
Some of us are also wishing really hard for the return of River Song (Alex Kingston). They just was not enough closure in "The Name of the Doctor," sweetie.
Friends of the Doctor are also fretting about getting into the Sunday panel, which will be held in the dreaded Hall H venue, the black hole of Comic-Con venues. Many are planning to camp out on the grass the night before the panel just to nab a seat. Blimey.
With Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman (Clara, aka the impossible girl) in attendance, there's so much eye candy you don't even need Jelly Babies.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - Sometimes everybody needs a helping hand, and that includes both individuals and businesses.
"You have to give back. It's almost a human obligation," said resident Gary Hartman, a former Snowmass Village Rotary president.
But in addition to volunteering his service to Rotary and its many local and international programs, Hartman also is giving back to the Aspen/Snowmass business community with the Growth Coach, his new business and sales consulting business.
Hartman was hooked on skiing from nearly the time he started in Michigan. But the smallness of the mountains had him excited about the mountains in the West. When he got an opportunity to ski in Utah, he went for it, and he wanted more.
Eventually Snowmass came up on his radar, and he came to ski in 1990 before buying a Timberline condominium in 1991.
In Ohio, Hartman had launched a payroll business because he wanted to work outside an industrial products business his wife's family owned. He saw an ad for a small, independent payroll company and bought it.
But he continued traveling west to Colorado, and eventually he and his wife, Chris, bought a house in Snowmass and moved here full time in 2008 after Gary sold the payroll business.
"Snowmass is a great ski area," Hartman said. "I just like the feel of the place. The people. And I like Snowmass because it is its own great place and 20 minutes from everything Aspen has to offer.
"When I first moved out here, I knew I wanted to (continue working). I played golf and played as much golf as I wanted to. But I couldn't play golf or ski five days a week, and I wanted to keep my mind active. I was looking around for what my next business could be and came across business coaching."
Hartman began working with the professional programs and resources of The Growth Coach, an international organization of franchise owners that help small businesses, business teams and individuals with business and
life growth.
"Coaching is a good fit for me," Hartman said. "A lot of what I have done is more than just providing service but solving problems. Helping people. Helping to see a lot of different businesses and how they work and seeing how different business principles apply to each of those businesses."
Hartman is one of 150 Growth Coaches across the country who work with business owners, managers and teams of sales professionals to identify business and personal issues and then help set a list of goals that solves those issues.
"There is a core process that is used," Hartman said. "That process involves both a business and personal side. Where are you trying to go? We want to solidify that vision and then work that down to a set of goals that we are going to complete in the next 90 days. I work in 90-day increments. It's a natural timeframe and gives you enough time to work out goals and make progress while life happens."
For business owner Hartman, the next 90 days will be focused on business expansion. He is expanding his geographical range for the Growth Coach from the Roaring Fork Valley throughout more of the Western Slope, including Eagle, Grand Junction and Rifle business networking efforts.
When he's not working, Hartman likes to enjoy the Colorado lifestyle.
"There are too many options in the great outdoors here," Hartman said. "I love being here because of the active lifestyle. But I have had to give up some things, like tennis, because there is just no time. Generally, I like running, hiking, biking in the summer. Both kinds of skiing in the winter."
What would be one new amenity he would like to see in Snowmass?
"We're such a great, family-friendly place," Hartman said. "The other ski resorts have added luges, slides and other things. We need to add one more amenity for our area. We need to come up with something different."
Steve Alldredge is the former associate editor/reporter for the Snowmass Sun. He now runs a local communications company whose clients include Related Colorado. He can be reached at

I have more than 100 drawings I want to import to QCAD 3.0.
The drawings are made on a 3-D CAD program with name
Pro Desktop Express 8 /Built on Granite (PTC).
As I understand the drawings are in 2-D format, and can be exported as file type
DWG, DXF or binary DXF. The file version can be ACAD R10, R11, R13, R14 or ACAD 2000.
I have had some success in importing DXF file type to QCAD. I could open the drawing
but if I edited a text string and saved the file and opened it again I got a blank window.
The drawing file had still the same size on disk but was not seen. I got a message saying
the lines colour were changed to white and therefore not seen.
Can I change the colour for that layer to black and make it seenable again?
Anyone that can give me a hint of combination of file type and version to use
when exporting from PTC CAD program?
Thank you in forward!
I am using Scientific Linux 6.3

Giveit100 is a project by Karen X. Cheng and Finbarr Taylor.
When you watch someone perform or score the winning point - you're only seeing a brief moment of glory. What you don't see is thousands of hours of preparation. You don't see the self doubt, lost sleep, the lonely nights working. You don't see the moment they started. The moment they were just like you, wondering how they could ever be good.
We made Giveit100 for you to see that moment. Everyone starts a beginner. A child doesn't notice when she's growing taller. It's the same way when you're learning something. It happens so gradually, you hardly notice you're getting better.
We made Giveit100 for you to capture the moment you start out, and every moment after that. One day you may look back and cringe. But that will be the same moment you realize: Woah. I've come a long way.

- Document: Open letter from San Jose State professors about online course
In January, a group of prominent leaders gathered at San Jose State University to launch what they promised would be a revolution in the delivery of higher education.
In the ensuing frenzy of press coverage, San Jose State President Mohammad Qayoumi, sounding more like a tech CEO than an educator, argued that universities should not be afraid of failure when experimenting with Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCS, and similar online ventures: "We want to fail fast, learn from it and move on," he said.
Now the spring semester results from this pilot program at SJSU are in. The pass rates in the experimental online courses are troubling and should give educators, students, parents and the Legislature much pause.
In the Udacity Remedial/Developmental Math course there was a disappointing 29 percent pass rate compared to an 80 percent pass rate in the regular face-to-face SJSU course. Only 12 percent of non-SJSU students in the Udacity version of the course passed, including students from Oakland Military Institute, the college-prep charter school.
Likewise, in the online College Algebra course, only 44 percent of San Jose students achieved the required C pass rate compared to a 74 percent C pass rate in the face-to-face version. Here again, only 12 percent of non-SJSU students in the online version achieved a C.
Finally, in the statistics class, which Udacity expected to produce far superior results, only 51 percent of students achieved a C pass rate, in stark contrast to the 74 percent C pass rate students accomplished in the face-to-face version of the same course.
Advocates of this effort will offer all kinds of excuses. They may attempt to blame teachers. They may argue that it is only a pilot program and kinks still need to be worked out or that the data is only preliminary.
However, there are real-world, long-term consequences when we "fail fast" in higher education.
For students, it is wasted time and lost money that for many represented a family sacrifice. For some it means increased debt for courses that lead to nothing. The price of failure for students can also be nonmonetary. They can easily become demoralized and think they are not college material when in fact the medium of their instruction has simply been a bad match.
There are reasons California's public colleges and universities have been emulated around the world. Because of faculty-led efforts at our institutions, including SJSU, millions of students have come through our public doors and received a quality education. Sometimes it's face-to-face, sometimes through online courses -- but always through an accredited institution with well-vetted and articulated courses taught by publicly paid faculty members more concerned with the transfer of knowledge than the collection of profit.
Dealing with tough economic times by handing off education to private vendors and using public funds to increase online offerings through these vendors will not serve California well in the long run. Politicians' well-intentioned efforts to increase access for students ignores a proven solution that we know will increase access: investing resources in more class sections.
Thanks to rebounding economy, we finally have a chance to begin reinvestment in our public higher education. Let's invest these public monies in what we know works.
