Birmingham, Alabama's VIRGOS (formerly VIRGOS MERLOT) have encountered unspecified problems with the release of their much-anticipated second album, The Path of Least Resistance, which was originally scheduled to be issued through CREED's independent label Blue Collar Records. As a result, the band have decided to create a very special and very limited five-song CD entitled Collapse: The EP, featuring three songs from The Path of Least Resistance, plus two songs that will only be available on the EP. The EP will be available to everyone who pre-ordered the upcoming full-length CD via Bandrags.com at no charge. The Path of Least Resistance is tentatively set to be released in the spring.

A Robotic Web(Abstract)
Issue No.06 - Nov.-Dec. (2013 vol.17)
pp: 4-7
Published by the IEEE Computer Society
Michael N. Huhns , University of South Carolina
DOI Bookmark: http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/MIC.2013.106
It is interesting to view the Web's evolution in robotic terms--specifically, in terms of the common cognitive architecture for robots described as perceive, reason, act. As sensors and effectors are being added to the Web, it is acquiring the ability to perceive and act. The availability of the additional information of its physical environment is enhancing its ability to reason. By organizing all of its information into forms amenable for perception and for decisions about actions, the Web is taking a more active role and will be more useful.
An alert was just sent to the Computer Society Digital Library (CSDL) department and we will restore this missing publication as soon as possible.

Officials from Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center have made an agreement with a national transportation research organization.
The agreement -- which was signed with The National Center for Freight and Infrastructure Research and Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison -- is designed to assist military planners in identifying Camp Shelby as a critical part of a strategic military intermodal logistics hub.
Camp Shelby is one of several sites in the South Mississippi Defense Corridor that is being considered as a platform to streamline the return, reset, redeployment and disposal of equipment from Operation Enduring Freedom.
The Hattiesburg American reported that the idea for the agreement came last month in Gulfport during a symposium hosted by the University of Southern Mississippi.

Retailers nationwide are looking to make Black Friday safer a year after a wall of frantic shoppers trampled a guard to death at a Wal-Mart store on New York's Long Island.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is among companies instituting new procedures after the death of security guard Jdimytai Damour.
The company is keeping its stores open 24 hours on Thanksgiving Day. That will make it unnecessary for shoppers to converge outside for pre-dawn openings.
Other changes include handing out maps so shoppers can quickly find hot sale items, and keeping those items far apart so big crowds don't form. Other retailers are making similar changes.
Prosecutors considered criminal charges after the guard's death. Instead they let Wal-Mart Stores pay a nearly $2 million settlement after it agreed to the sweeping changes.

This is a discussion on [Samba] PDC with XP Clients, logon timeouts - Samba ; Hi everybody, I am attempting to switch 2 networks from Netware servers to Samba configured as a domain controller. 1 network that is less critical became the 'guinea pig' network.

Hi everybody,
I am attempting to switch 2 networks from Netware servers to Samba
configured as a domain controller.
1 network that is less critical became the 'guinea pig' network.
It is the one I am currently working to get the kinks out of.
We like the Samba servers a lot more than we liked the Netware servers,
they are much faster.
So far I have 2 Linux machines running 3.0.10, We have been using this
version for awhile now.
The intended goal is to have a backup server in case of a failure of any
kind on the primary server.
Other services on the network are a firewall, also Linux and it is
running a caching DNS server (Bind), Etc.
I am struggling with a few things.
So, here is my problem:
1. Logon issues.
Random machines on the network get a message to the effect that they
cannot locate a domain controller.
If you wait a minute or two and try again, you can login just fine.
Users really hate that.
I have tried adding SRV entries and such, and it does not seem to do
The SRV issue is probably beyond the scope of this list, but any
pointers would be helpful.
I have 2 entries:
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.Maunz. SRV 0 0 389 memaster.
_kerberos._tcp.dc._msdcs.Maunz. SRV 0 0 88 memaster.
And the A record:
memaster IN A 192.168.0.201
Now, I have one last question...
When the master fails for whatever reason, and the second one is now the
only controller around..
Can the network clients authenticate against it and continue to use it?
I am currently using rsync to keep the machines mirrored, this happens
every 5 minutes.
So, at worst our data is 5 minutes old (an acceptable loss in our case)
The master server does not start up on its own when the machine boots in
the event of a failure, just for this reason.
the services must manually start because we don't want to mirror our now
'old' data on top of what we have
on the secondary controller.
I copy the passwd and user files from one to another.
these machines are virtually the same, so it works just fine.
I appreciate any help I can get on the login problem.

SAN FRANCISCO — State Attorney General Jerry Brown has denied the San Francisco sheriff's request to opt out of a federal program that checks the immigration status of all people arrested using their fingerprints.
Brown told the sheriff in a letter Tuesday that he believed the program would help speed the identification of individuals in the country illegally who have a history of serious crimes.
"I think this program serves both public safety and the interest of justice," Brown said in the letter.
Sheriff Michael Hennessey asked Brown last week not to share the city's fingerprint data with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement program, known as Secure Communities.
Hennessey said the federal Secure Communities program conflicted with a city policy that requires law enforcement to report only those born outside the U.S. who are booked for felonies.
"I am disappointed in the attorney general's position and concerned that U.S. citizens and minor offenders will be caught up in the broader net represented by Secure Communities," Hennessey said.
The sheriff said he would be studying the issue further to see how the program could be applied in the spirit of San Francisco's sanctuary city policy, which prohibits city employees from aiding federal immigration investigators unless required by state or federal law.
San Francisco Supervisor Eric Mar had introduced a nonbinding resolution set to be voted on Tuesday urging city law enforcement agencies not to participate in the Secure Communities program.
Mar's office did not immediately return a call seeking comment Tuesday afternoon.

Bobsledder Nick Cunningham of Monterey had a rough day Sunday in Winterberg, Germany, placing 16th in a four-man World Cup race a day after a season-best 12th.
Cunningham, 28, is trying to earn an Olympic berth in the four-man competition after all but qualifying in the two-man sled. He and crew Dallas Robinson, Johnny Quinn and Abe Morlu finished in 1 minute 51.67 seconds, well behind German Maximilian Arndt, who won for the second consecutive day. German driver Francesco Friedrich got the silver as he did Saturday.
Reigning Olympic champion Steven Holcomb of Park City, Utah, finished seventh after crashing the previous day. Belmont's Andreas Drbal helped push pilot Cory Butner to 13th.
"We always take a knock coming from our home tracks to Europe, and it's been a lot more challenging this year with the switch to two-man and four-man with the different steering systems in the sleds," U.S. coach Brian Shimer said in a statement. "Not to make an excuse, but we're figuring out some issues and know what we've got to do to get up to speed."

The two men had been dead for six to 12 hours when the warehouse's owner found them Tuesday, said Fresno Fire Department spokesman Koby Johns. Their identities have not been released. The woman was in critical condition.
The warehouse was used to store collectibles and furniture for an online business, Johns said. The owner allowed the two men, both in their 40s, to live inside the warehouse in exchange for some labor, he said. He had not seen the victims for several days and discovered them when he came to the warehouse to give them a phone card.
Fire officials said the men used a generator to power the warehouse, because electricity had been shut off a few days earlier.
The owner, Darrell Pretzer, told KFSN-TV that he let the men stay in the warehouse because they were homeless and he knew one of them. He said he warned them not to use a generator in the warehouse.
Pretzer said the woman was breathing when he arrived. Firefighters believe she had tried to revive the men. Officials were still trying to identify her, Johns said.
Johns said two weeks before the accident, firefighters gave a news conference just down the street on the importance of carbon monoxide alarms and handed out alarms to residents.

Kirk Erickson Will Render Unto Caesars That Which Is Caesars', but He Says the Jackpot Is His
Rusty, a building contractor from Hot Springs, Ark., his wife, Beth, and son Kirk were agog at the sight of the Million Dollar Baby Slots, a carousel of eight one-armed bandits surrounding a glass case filled with $1 million in $100 bills. "We eyed that million dollars like kids at a carnival," Rusty says. Fronted $50 by his parents, Kirk, an Arkansas State University communications student who was then 19, bought some $1 tokens and began feeding one of the $3 machines. Then, after he'd watched his fortunes rise and fall by a few dollars during 45 minutes of play, the machine silently lit up with a message to summon an attendant.
Kirk pushed the call button more than 20 times but no one appeared, so he asked his father to watch the machine so he could look for help. While Kirk was away, two casino employees approached Rusty. "Hey, that's the mil, that's the whole thing," said one. The other chimed in, "Man, I didn't think it would happen on my shift. Congratulations, you're a millionaire."
The shock left Rusty, 41, and Beth, 42, feeling faint. As for Kirk, when he returned and heard that he'd won $1,061,811, "I got real numb," he says, "like I was in a dream."
The Ericksons' reverie was short-lived. Even as Kirk rushed back to the hotel room to share the surprise with his sister, Jenny, then 15, and spread the word by phone to relatives and friends, two state gaming agents ordered Rusty into a back room. There, he says, in the presence of five casino employees, the agents demanded to know Kirk's age. When he said 19, they told him Caesars Palace would not pay the jackpot, because Kirk was under the legal gambling age of 21. Moreover, as Rusty told hearing examiners, the state agents said if he persisted in demanding his son's jackpot, they would jail him on a felony charge for trying to collect another person's winnings. When Kirk eventually joined the meeting, he was flabbergasted. "Just an hour before, these people were saying, 'Hey, you all are millionaires,' " he recalls, "and then they started talking about arrest, jail and felony."
Rusty did not fold. "I knew at that point they were pulling a scam," he says. "I told my wife to get a bondsman, a lawyer, newspaper reporters and my nicotine gum, because I was trying to stop smoking."
The agents backed off from their threat to arrest Rusty, but the casino has stood firm in its refusal to pay. The Ericksons, whose appeal to the Nevada State Gaming Control Board is pending, have filed suit against Caesars Palace in the U.S. District Court in Las Vegas, seeking payment of the original jackpot plus $20 million in punitive damages. In addition the Ericksons have sued for $1,061,811 from each of two state gaming control agents who allegedly went along with Caesars' decision to deny the jackpot.
Both Caesars Palace and the gaming agents contend they followed the letter of the law. But the Ericksons insist that the casino made little attempt to inform young patrons of the age regulation, and in fact encouraged Kirk to gamble by offering free drinks and repeatedly selling him gambling tokens. "Some of the casinos are running a racket," claims Rusty. "It seems they let minors play until they hit a big jackpot. Then they jump in and refuse to pay. They keep your losings as well as your winnings."
Rusty argues that Caesars Palace misled his family from the moment they booked a room in the hotel and informed the clerk the family included teenagers. "That's when they should tell you anyone under 21 is not allowed to gamble, but they don't," he says. According to the Ericksons, signs announcing the age limit were not readily visible in the casino. "If I had gone in and the age limit was clearly posted, I wouldn't have a gripe now," says Kirk.
Already out $20,000 in legal fees, Rusty says there is no way to estimate the ultimate cost of the battle for the jackpot. "We're up against a monster that has all the money in the world available," he says. Caesars Palace has no comment. Meanwhile Kirk has come in for some good-natured ribbing at Arkansas State, where he has been dubbed the Million Dollar Man. The Ericksons do not have any definite plans for the money if they win the suit. "Thinking about it in dollars and cents, it's hard to imagine what we would do with a million dollars," says Rusty. "They took the fun out of it."

FORT MYERS, Fla. � Jake Peavy felt good after participating in his first live batting practice session of the spring Monday. Peavy had been a little behind because of irritation in his right ring finger.
�I hope the finger issue�s getting behind me,� Peavy said. �I�m still getting treatment, but I feel very good using all my pitches and able to work toward getting all those sharp now.�
Peavy is slated to throw another live BP on Wednesday, which will match him up with the other Red Sox starters.
�We don�t feel like there�s any delay in his game action,� manager John Farrell said.
Outfielder Daniel Nava hasn�t taken part in live BP the past two days because of a nerve issue in his neck that makes it hard for him to look at the pitcher, let alone take a swing. He does not expect it to be a long-term problem.
�It�s just a minor little thing I�m working on,� he said. �There�s no point of going too fast and then all of a sudden we�re set back two or three weeks.�
Nava has participated in all the other aspects of camp to this point. He may miss the start of game action Thursday.

Hallie Sheley describes the 2012-13 women's basketball season as "a year of pictures."
Sheley and Maranatha teammates and fellow four-year starters Torey DeLozier, Kristin Morrison, and Autumn Peotter have tried to ensure that the memories of their final season will be preserved in digital images. This "Fab Four" has contributed 4,851 points, 2,388 rebounds, 1,030 assists, and 117 games worth of quality basketball over four years.
There's one picture that has yet to be taken, however—the one of the seniors holding a national championship trophy.
Maranatha hopes to add that one soon, taking a 21-6 overall record and a No. 1 seed into the NCCAA Division II National Championships March 7-9 at Ohio Christian College.
"There's more excitement this year," Sheley said. "There's a little more pressure too. I mean, this is it for us."
Morrison and Peotter have started all 117 games in their careers. DeLozier missed a start this season while accepting an award for being named national volleyball player of the year. The only two games Sheley did not start came this season, when her Army National Guard husband was about to be deployed to Afghanistan.
A Tough Way to Start
All four were thrown into action as freshmen during the 2009-10 season. The results were predictable—11.6 assists vs. 25.6 turnovers per game and a 13-16 record that included a nine-game losing streak.
"That wasn't a surprise to me," head coach Clayton Morrison said. "They were all coming from small Christian schools, going against very challenging college competition."
"I hoped it would get better," Peotter said. "You knew it couldn't get much worse."
It did get better. The assists have increased each year (11.6 to 12.4 to 14.5 to 14.7), and the turnovers have decreased (25.6 to 21.7 to 20.4 to 19.1).
The Missing Link
The Crusaders were still missing a piece, however, until junior center Laci Peterson arrived last season. Peterson led NCAA Division III in blocked shots and was recently named the Northern Athletics Conference Defensive Player of the Year.
"Laci is the inside stopper on defense, and she also forces the other team to put their best defender on her," Clayton Morrison said. "She allowed Torey to move to more of a power forward role, one where she wasn't outsized every game."
"As soon as we saw Laci, we all said, 'Hey, here is our missing link,' " Sheley said.
Clayton Morrison said the Crusaders' current freshmen and sophomores have a chance to be nearly as successful before wrapping up their careers.
"One of the best things about this season has been our bench play," Kristin Morrison said. "This is the best bench we've had in four years. If we come out of the game, there's not going to be a letdown."
Everybody Does Their Thing
The four seniors surrounding Peterson all serve unique roles.
Peotter is the sparkplug, the relentless "hair-on-fire" guard with the smooth shooting touch.
"Most people can't play at Autumn's pace," Clayton Morrison said.
Kristin Morrison is the typical coach's kid, the smartest player on the floor and an outstanding defender. Sheley is a combination of Morrison and Peotter, an intelligent and energetic guard who can shoot. DeLozier is the consummate athlete—the All-America volleyball player who can run faster and jump higher than anyone who guards her.
DeLozier and Sheley are Math Education majors. Morrison is majoring in Physical Education and Health, Peotter in Elementary Education. All four plan to coach at some level after they graduate.
The Bottom Line
Maranatha may be three wins away from a championship, but the Crusaders have not won the title since 1999. Five-time champion Kentucky Christian defeated Maranatha in the title game in 2012 and 2011 and in the semifinals in 2010.
"I'd be the happiest guy in the gym if they won," Morrison said, "but not winning wouldn't diminish what they have accomplished. You can't look at 120 games and base their success or failure on one tournament. I hope we're not in that mindset.
"At the same time, I know they really want to finish the job."

Mr. Harold Bissell, Owner and President, of Air Engineers, LLC., presenting 2012 Bronze Level Dealer Awardto Rachel and Steve Rogers, Owners and President of Mr. Refrigeration, Inc., on March 22, 2013.
What is a Trane Comfort Specialist?

What is NATE certification?
Many Trane Comfort Specialist dealers have NATE certified technicians. Organizations that are part of the NATE coalition include the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers. NATE stands for North American Technician Excellence and is an independent organization that certifies installation or service technicians with a knowledge-based test. A recent survey says that 87% of air conditioning and heating consumers prefer certified technicians. Organizations that are part of the NATE coalition include the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers.
To become certified installation and/or service technicians, these technicians must pass both core and specialty parts of either an installation or service test with a score of 70 or better. Specialties include heat pump, air conditioning, air distribution, oil heat and gas heat. The NATE test is not easy, and not all technicians pass it the first time. NATE certification verifies that the technicians who pass are the best in the trade when it comes to knowledge and experience installing or servicing your home heating or cooling system. Look for the NATE logo when you need service on your current system or a new comfort system.

Custom clothing is the most beneficial options when you are building your custom wardrobe, because it addresses the most basic fashion need that arises: a flattering fit. Off the rack clothes do not address fit issues because their measurements are based on an ideal fit that in reality fits no one. Achieving an ideal fit is about selecting the custom wardrobe items that are the most flattering for your body type. Each shape has different advantages and disadvantages therefore each shape has pieces that are must haves and ones that should be avoided.
Before you can design the custom pieces that will look the best on you, who must first understand what your body type is and what your fashion challenges will be. You have a pear shaped figure if your hip area is larger than your waistline creating the illusion of a pear. You have an hourglass figure if your shoulders and hips are the same approximate size but your waistline is much smaller than the shoulders and hips. Those measurements mirror the shape of an hourglass. If your shoulders, hips, and waist are approximately the same size then you have a straight shape.
Once you have identified what your body type is, you are ready to begin designing your custom wardrobe based on which fits will be the most flattering for your figure. If you are pear shaped then work to achieve balance by adding volume on the top with the use of A-line tops and then minimizing the bottom by choosing a dark wash on the bottom. Items to avoid when you are pear shape include fitted tops and fading on your denim. Those properties will bring attention to your trouble areas. With the hourglass shape, dressing your figure is about highlighting your figure. Look for simple solid shapes on the top. You can also use a wrap top to highlight your top area. When you have an hourglass shape, choose pants that are either flared or boot cut to create balance. Elements to avoid when you have an hourglass shape include ruffles, frills, and items with boxy shapes. If you have a straight shape, then the idea is to use your custom clothing to create curves that do not exist naturally. If you have a straight shape, then look for garments that have ruffles to add volume on top. Choose boot cut pants and jeans to add curves on the bottom. When you have a straight shape, avoid menswear inspired items, straight cuts and boyfriend jeans.
The most important part of choosing a flattering custom wardrobe is to embrace who you are. There is no one perfect shape and every shape has advantages and disadvantages. The trick is to know what those advantages and disadvantages are and to dress to either maximize or minimize those features. The first step to a confident appearance is to embrace the shape that you have and let your wardrobe do the rest.

ITS America Statement on Rubio-Booker 5.9 GHz Spectrum Legislation
Washington, D.C. (June 20, 2014) – Scott F. Belcher, President and CEO of the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America), today released the following statement in response to legislation introduced by U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) that would set deadlines on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for developing and publishing a test plan for the use of unlicensed devices in the 5.9 GHz band:
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children and young adults in the United States, with an annual death toll of 33,000 and over 2.3 million people injured on our nation's roadways. That means by the end of today, 90 daughters and sons, mothers and fathers, friends and loved ones who we said goodbye to this morning won't be coming home tonight. This has been a tragic reality for far too long.
Thanks to the strong commitment by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and automotive visionaries, and years of investment by innovators and American taxpayers, 'talking cars' that avoid crashes are well on the way to becoming a reality. The U.S. DOT announced in February that it will begin a rulemaking process to deploy vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technology in new cars and light trucks utilizing the 5.9 GHz band of spectrum set aside by the FCC for V2V communication.
Earlier this week in testimony before the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, U.S. DOT Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology Gregory D. Winfree said, "We have very serious concerns about any spectrum sharing that prevents or delays access to the desired channel, or otherwise preempts the safety applications. At this time, the Department is unaware of any existing or proposed technical solution which guarantees interference free operation of the DSRC safety critical applications while allowing Wi-Fi enabled devices to share the 5.9 GHz spectrum."
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that V2V communication could prevent or reduce the impact of 4 out of 5 unimpaired vehicle crashes, saving thousands of lives each year and dramatically reducing the $871 billion annual cost of crashes to the nation's economy. This connected vehicle safety technology truly represents the next giant leap in saving lives on America's roadways by preventing crashes before they happen.
ITS America supports the collaborative effort, which is already underway, to explore whether a technical solution exists that would allow Wi-Fi devices to operate in the 5.9 GHz band without interfering with these critical safety applications. But this process should be allowed to proceed without arbitrary deadlines, restrictive parameters or political pressure that could influence the outcome.
We look forward to continuing to work with Senators Rubio and Booker, as well as the FCC and key stakeholders, to explore whether a technical solution can be developed and tested that will allow for spectrum sharing in the 5.9 GHz band without compromising safety.
The Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America) is the nation's largest organization dedicated to advancing the research, development and deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to improve the nation's surface transportation network.

WASHINGTON — Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration head Anne S. Ferro is leaving the agency toward the end of August to become president and CEO of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators.
Ferro made the announcement shortly after noon EDT in an e-mail to colleagues.
Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said Ferro "has been a true leader in safety throughout her time at the Department of Transportation and has become a trusted advisor and friend to me during my time as secretary."
Foxx said Ferro had ushered in a new culture of safety into the commercial bus and trucking industries and had made it more difficult for companies that jeopardize the public's well-being to stay in business and had made it easier for consumers to make informed choices when choosing a shipper or buying a bus ticket.
"While the opportunity to assume this position at AAMVA is another personal dream come true, no job can match the immense honor I have had serving President (Barack) Obama, and Secretaries Foxx and (Ray) LaHood with you — the dedicated individuals who persevere every day to make safe transportation a reality for all of us," she said in the e-mail.
"Together, we have made a difference for countless families across the country by raising the bar for safety in motor carrier operations," she continued. "We have worked to ensure that companies and drivers are more accountable for their actions, strengthened our oversight of high-risk carriers, created better tools for our law enforcement partners, and opened up a new world of useful data to educate both businesses and consumers alike. On a daily basis we have also recognized the significant contributions that commercial truck and bus drivers make to roadway safety and our nation's economic vitality. As part of that effort, we have highlighted the daily demands and economic pressure drivers often face because they are paid by-the-mile or load instead of their total time on-duty. In the GROW AMERICA Act we are seeking to change that compensation model so drivers receive fair wages for every hour they spend working — including time detained unloading and loading at the mercy of shippers and receivers."

It's the Bulldogs versus the Tea Partiers in endorsements for Tuesday's special election for Northern District transportation commissioner.
Earlier this week, Mississippi State University alumni political action group Bully Bloc e-mailed friends to urge their financial help and votes for runoff candidate Mike Tagert.
Last weekend, Oxford's Tea Party group interviewed Tagert and opponent John Caldwell, then announced its endorsement for Caldwell.
Bully Bloc termed Tagert "an accomplished MSU alumnus" with "real leadership" in the transportation industry.
Tagert of Starkville is chairman of the Tenn-Tom Waterway Development Council based in Columbus.
Caldwell of Nesbit, an Arkansas State University alumnus, is transportation director for the DeSoto County School District.
Kay Cobb, Tea Party Oxford's chairwoman, termed both men "well-educated" with fine presentations to the organization's candidate forum.
"However, John Caldwell brings to the table a broader background and more experience outside the public sector," she said in a news release. "Although the candidates were in agreement on several issues, there are distinct differences between them, and the Forum made it possible to explore these differences.amp"
Bully Bloc reminded its members that the runoff turnout is likely to be low, which means each vote "critical."
The winner in the non-party election will serve out the term of Bill Minor of Holly Springs, who died last fall.
Each has said he will run for a full four-year term, if he wins next week.

Dynamo Donuts
Overall Rating: 7.650
|Notes: Kiosk; Outdoor Seating
|This high-end donut purveyor may not have espresso in their name, but they take it as seriously as their $2 donuts. (Donuts that your grandmother would not recognize as a donut - more of a round cake - but enough to bring out the inner Homer Simpson in everyone.) There's a row of chairs on the sidewalk for outdoor seating, but otherwise this is just a tight kiosk with an awning at times when the morning rush hour backroom is closed - and an on-staff barista that will ask you to mind the store while he or she goes to the restroom. Here they stick to some high-quality ingredients: Four Barrel Friendo Blendo coffee, Clover organic milk, etc. Using a four-group La Marzocco Linea (a machine that the Four Barrel Coffee folks rumoredly believe pulls better shots than they have), they take their time and make deliberate shots of espresso with a mottled medium- and dark-brown crema of a good, but occasionally uneven, consistency and some real thickness. The crema is a bit congealed and separates from the liquid coffee - breaking up what should otherwise be an emulsion. It has a strong brightness that's often pleasant without being too acidic (sometimes it is strong enough for some to differ). Oddly enough, we like their original shots of Stumptown Hairbender slightly better - given that they switched to Four Barrel once they got their roasting operations up in early 2009. Their Hairbender shots had an even fresher, more intense brightness, a semi-syrupy consistency, and a strongly pungent flavor that are muted with the Friendo Blendo. But just when we were ready to call Four Barrel a step down, the quality has improved here in flavor, brightness, and even crema (especially with their top morning barista) to bridge any gap.

A beleaguered bridge project will soon be complete and residents will be able to get from point A to point B much more easily in the Village of Mamaroneck.
The Jefferson Avenue Bridge project is slated to be completed by Friday, Dec. 20 at the latest, according to village officials, and trucks have been delivering large sections of the bridge since earlier last week.
Snowfall that hit the area last week, along with logistical issues, caused a delay in the delivery and installation of the bridge parts, Village Manager Richard Slingerland said. The bridge's installation process is set to begin on Thursday, Dec. 19.
The 140-ton sections of the structure can only be delivered to Mamaroneck by way of the George Washington Bridge or Bear Mountain Bridge routes, which required the village to coordinate carefully with state police and the New York State Thruway Authority. The bridge's parts are being transported from Jersey Precast, an engineering, design and manufacturing company based in New Jersey.
The bridge was delivered in pieces that exceed 100 feet in length, according to the village manager.
The project was funded in part by a $400,000 grant from the New York State Capital Assistance Program.
"They need to get all six panels, then they drop them into place," Slingerland said. "Any logistical issues like cranes getting held up could run it into Friday."
The bridge was closed in September 2012 to increase space between the base of the bridge and the Mamaroneck River in order to help mitigate flooding issues in the area. Debris collection around the center support of the bridge caused water levels to rise significantly during heavy rains, village officials said.
Before its reconstruction, the Village of Mamaroneck and the Town of Rye were locked in a legal battle over who was responsible for the project, as the bridge links the two municipalities via Rye Neck, which exists in both. The case ended with the cost being split by the two communities.
Originally anticipated as a 10-month construction phase, the $4.2 million project, of which the village is responsible for approximately $2.1 million, ran months behind schedule after the project contractor, The Arben Group, accidentally broke a 21-inch sewer line at the construction site in March.
The broken pipe, which sat in close proximity to the Mamaroneck Riverwhich flows into the Long Island Sound caused three million gallons of raw sewage to leak into the waterway, drawing considerable criticism from the community.
The sewage amount was estimated using the sewage flow and size of the pipe, according to village officials.
Because of the break, the village was ordered to pay a $17,000 fine to the Department of Environmental Conservation. The break was temporarily repaired by the installation of a generator and two pipes leading into the sewer cap over where the break occurred.
Other project roadblocks included the village having to remove 6,000 cubic yards of silt from the Mamaroneck River so the bridge's abutments would be able to securely support the structure, Slingerland said. If the silt hadn't been removed, there would have been a risk that the abutments would have sunk into the river.
"You're talking approximately 300 truck loads of stuff that had to be taken away," he said.
Some residents, including those who live near the construction site, criticized the village for the length of the project, water quality issues from the sewer line break and what they claim is an overall lack of transparency in regards to the project's timeline.
Stuart Tiekert, a village resident who has been critical of the project, said he saw one section of the bridge heading toward Mamaroneck on Interstate 95, but that is all the progress he has seen so far. He said the bridge should have been finished already and is looking forward to being able to utilize it again instead of having to drive out of his way to get through the village.

Worldox CompleteCloud is a complete hit at Cole Valley Software.
By Peter Shaw, CEO
November 22, 2011
"With CompleteCloud, we would still be able to control our own servers and use the applications we already had, while gaining a more robust system."
"Lots of companies say they pay attention to customer service, but these people actually deliver. I ... have been involved in several IT transitions and upgrades, but none have ever been as seamless as this."
"... Worldox CompleteCloud is a complete hit at Cole Valley Software; I would recommend it to any company looking for a trouble-free hosted solution."
As CEO of a legal software company, I have a responsibility to provide our employees with the tools that they need to accomplish their goals while also managing the bottom line. We have 15 employees and a lot of work to do, so efficiency is of the utmost importance. As you can imagine, the reliability and performance of our technology infrastructure is crucial, because we are in the technology business.
Recently, we decided to make a change with our hosted desktop provider. Given the distributed nature of our environment, we decided that it is much more cost effective for us to operate in a hosted environment where we don't have to maintain our own IT infrastructure. Previously, we had been subscribing to a software-as- a-service platform which had been working, but it had too many limitations.
We needed a solution that would include the applications we needed, and the flexibility to have control of our own servers for development and testing purposes. Naturally, we also wanted the breadth of IT services a hosted solution provides, including complete infrastructure management, upgrades and backups.
We have been using Worldox as our company-wide document management system for the past two years. Everyone loves Worldox because it is easy to use, effective and relatively problem-free to manage on an ongoing basis. We actively use Worldox to archive Outlook emails and have all of our document creation, use and distribution run through Worldox.
Our Worldox reseller, Bill Baker of California-based Baker+Cadence Solutions, had always been a great resource for us in the industry, so we contacted him. Bill told us about the new Worldox CompleteCloud hosted desktop, which combined Worldox integrated with Outlook/Exchange, Microsoft Office Suite and QuickBooks for an all- inclusive monthly subscription price.
They were even able to include hosting our own ContactEase CRM application within their environment. With CompleteCloud, we would still be able to control our own servers and use the applications we already had, while gaining a more robust system.
In September 2011, we decided to subscribe to the Worldox CompleteCloud service. The preparation and planning required just a few hours over a 20-30 day period. The Baker team worked with Worldox technical support to lay out the process, including coordinating with our prior hosting provider to transition off of their system.
Baker+Cadence and Worldox were ahead of schedule on everything and they reached every milestone. They resolved issues quickly. The people we worked with were delightful, and we had friendly, positive open communication throughout, which makes it easy to do business. Lots of companies say that they pay attention to customer service, but these people actually deliver. I have to say that I have been involved in several IT transitions and upgrades, but none have ever been as seamless as this. Users came in on the Monday after the software and data was transitioned from our previous provider over a weekend and everything just worked. Frankly, we anticipated problems and had developed contingency plans in case there were issues, but we didn't have to use them. Everything was perfect!
We are up and running with Worldox CompleteCloud and we have a backup schedule that is rigorously maintained by the hosting provider, so we don't need to worry about disaster recovery. Best of all, by using Worldox CompleteCloud, we were able to avoid adding headcount for an in-house IT person, which definitely helped our bottom line.
Worldox CompleteCloud is serving us well and Baker+Cadence and Worldox technical support are standing by in case we have any issues. Basically, Worldox CompleteCloud is a complete hit at Cole Valley Software; I would recommend it to any company looking for a trouble- free hosted solution.

Brushing Your Dachshunds Teeth
There is nothing more important for your dog's oral hygiene than proper dog teeth cleaning. Unhealthy gums and rotting teeth can affect more than just his mouth- his overall health may also see a serious decline. Fortunately, once you get into a routine, keeping your dog's teeth clean is a piece of cake. Some dogs are very willing to allow their owners to brush their teeth, while others will run the minute they see the tooth brush pulled out. The key to succeeding is to remain patient and to always remember not to force him to let you brush his teeth.
To start out, you will want to slowly introduce him to having his teeth cleaned with a tooth brush. There are all kinds of flavored toothpastes for dogs out there that are very helpful when it comes to getting him accustomed to a toothbrush. When you choose flavors like chicken or turkey your dog will look at having his teeth brushed as he would a treat. The most important part of introducing him to a toothbrush is to start out very slow and be consistent. Don't scold him for not wanting you to brush his teeth- for some dogs the unknown can be very frightening. If you start out by yelling at him for pushing the brush away he will never learn to like having his teeth cleaned. Sometimes, it's helpful to offer him a real treat after you get done.
Aside from consistently brushing his teeth to manually remove the tarter yourself, you should also consider purchasing a type of dog food that is specifically aimed at oral health. There are many formulations out there that can help keep the plaque to a minimum, it's just a matter of reading the packages. You can also offer him various things to chew on, like rawhide or dental sticks. Both products are not only perfect for keeping the tarter from building up on his teeth, but they are also good treats. Your dog won't even realize that that your purpose for giving him a frequent treats is for dog teeth cleaning.
Once you start brushing your dog's teeth you need to make sure you stick with it- you will be doing him a favor by looking out for his health. He will eventually come around and love the extra attention, and you will feel good that you are doing something healthy for your furry friend.

Charities welcome £122m investment
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Communities and also in Health
Birmingham City Council teams up with HSE to prevent chimney collapses
A coalition of charities has welcomed a £112 million investment to help people suffering multiple problems.
Making Every Adult Matter (MEAM), a national coalition of Clinks, DrugScope, Homeless Link and Mind, has praised the launch of the Big Lottery Fund's 'Fulfilling Lives: supporting people with multiple needs initiative'.
The programme aims to help people with multiple problems turn their lives around by improving the co-ordination of services and placing individuals at the heart of service design and delivery.
Oliver Hilbery, MEAM project director, said: "We are delighted to see the Fulfilling Lives: supporting people with multiple needs initiative officially launch and look forward to supporting the programme in the coming years.
"From our own work and research we know the serious impact that multiple needs can have on individuals, that traditional service approaches have historically failed this group, and that coordinated interventions can have a significant positive impact on individual's wellbeing and service use.
"The long-term scope of the Big Lottery Fund's investment will help local areas not only to design new services, but to take forward the systemic changes that will make this new way of working sustainable in the future.
"We are excited to be playing our part in this programme and look forward to working with the partnerships over the eight years of the programme."
