Fashion Incubator San Francisco (FISF) is a non-profit organization that provides education, workspace, technical support and mentoring to aspiring fashion designers. The mission of FISF is to develop creative fashion apparel designers into successful San Francisco entrepreneurs and future employers. We believe the graduates of FISF can make significant contributions to our economy through employment opportunities in designing, manufacturing and selling fashion apparel. FISF serves as an incubator for promising new designers and provides them with the tools, resources and education necessary to develop successful local businesses.
FISF is a 501 (c) (3) incorporated in May 2011. The program opened in March 2012. In a region known for nurturing new ventures, Fashion Incubator San Francisco is the first business incubator in the Bay Area focused on the fashion apparel industry. Twenty years ago, apparel manufacturing was the second-largest industry in San Francisco, behind tourism. In 1990, San Francisco was the third largest apparel producer in the nation, behind New York and Los Angeles. Much of the talent and many of the businesses have disappeared; along with them went the infrastructure for supporting up-and-coming designers. San Francisco has seen an increase in design companies and has a good foundation of skilled apparel manufacturers. FISF was formed to nurture local fashion designers so they can establish thriving apparel businesses and create employment opportunities in San Francisco.
Our services include: 1) Weekly classes taught by educators, business and fashion/design professionals and industry experts. FISF provides curriculum for the Designers in Residence (DIR) that includes business operations, marketing and sales, developing business plans, and apparel manufacturing, including costing, sourcing and production; 2) A state-of-the art workroom with the necessary equipment for producing apparel where the DIR are guided in the design and production process, learning skills like pattern making and garment fitting; 3) Networking opportunities with other designers, manufacturers and leaders in the fashion and business communities who support the entrepreneurs in their goal to start businesses.
FISF provides an educational and training platform for the benefit of individual participating students, which leads to the beneficial development of the fashion and design community and job market in San Francisco. The impact of one new apparel business has a multiplier effect of 19 positions in the business community; from business development/financial services, to production, to packing and shipping. Currently FISF has the capacity to nurture six designers per year leading to the creation of six new businesses, resulting in new workforce development and/or increased business for 114 people.
FISF has begun a series of monthly Community Seminar Programs to expand relationships in the design and manufacturing community. The first seminar had more than 75 attendees. These ongoing events have the ability to reach almost 1000 people in San Francisco. FISF is also aligned with the fashion/design schools located in San Francisco, including The Art Institute, Academy of Art, California College of the Arts (CCA), City College of San Francisco (CCSF), the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) and San Francisco State. FISF has provided tours of the facility for several hundred students.
A mentorship network of attorneys, finance partners including banks, accounting and the Small Business Administration (SBA), educators at CCA, CCSF, Academy of Art, The Art Institute, San Francisco State and FIDM is already in place at FISF. Marketing, Public/Media Relations and Sourcing/Production relationships are also in place. The DIR are supported by these communities for a minimal cost of a monthly fee of $400. As the inaugural class graduates in February 2013, an active alumni program will begin, allowing former DIR to access support and in turn, provide mentoring and support to the incoming DIR. The alumni group will also provide data on the program.
Supported by a Board of Directors with deep roots in San Francisco and led by an Executive Director with more than thirty years of experience in apparel design and manufacturing in San Francisco, FISF is positioned for success. Strong relationships with educators and the business and design communities provide resources and mentoring for the Designers in Residence. FISF is committed to supporting apparel designers create, build and grow businesses in San Francisco.

The last weekend in June is the target date for the announcement of Bamberg-Ehrhardt tight end Kevin Crosby, and South Carolina is the target for the other schools in the chase.
"USC is out front," Crosby's coach and father Butch Crosby said last week. "They've done a great job of recruiting him and keeping on top of him. They've done a great job of that. South Carolina is a good little bit in front."
Crosby is down to USC, Clemson, Florida and Alabama. USC was his most recent visit. He plans to visit Clemson, Florida and North Carolina in June and will probably go back to USC again. Coach Crosby also said Alabama and Clemson are "coming on strong."
He said the decision will be announced on the last Saturday or Sunday in June.
In other recruiting news:
Wide receiver Terry Googer of Atlanta has offers from USC, Boston College, Miami, Tennessee, Louisville, North Carolina, Wake Forest, Syracuse, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech and Notre Dame. USC, Tennessee and Boston College are showing the most interest, according to Googer, but he says he does not have any leaders. Googer has visited USC several times and has developed a good relationship with recruiter Lorenzo Ward. "Every time I come down, he shows me a good time," he said. Googer played quarterback last season and will play both QB and receiver this season as well as some linebacker and safety. Some are recruiting him as an athlete, but he said USC sees him as a receiver.
LB Bryson Allen-Williams of Ellenwood, Ga., committed to USC last week, becoming the Gamecocks' second commitment for 2014. Allen-Williams, who had 88 tackles and 18 sacks last season, will play the weak linebacker spot with USC.
RB Nick Chubb of Cedartown, Ga., was thought to be a strong Georgia lean. But not any longer. Chubb visited USC on Saturday and now has the Gamecocks and Georgia at the top of his list. He also likes Auburn. Last season, Chubb rushed for 2,717 yards and 39 TDs. He plans a June decision.
DL Chris Williams of Tyrone, Ga., has a current top four of Ole Miss, Ohio State, Tennessee and USC, but he said that's not set in stone. Williams has visited USC, Georgia, Tennessee and Ohio State and will be visiting Ole Miss. And he's going to try to get back to USC. Williams also likes Georgia, but the Bulldogs have not offered. He plans a decision around mid-season.
WR Braxton Berrios of Raleigh was offered last week by Tennessee. Berrios has been a USC target and he attended the spring game. He also has offers from East Carolina, Maryland, Wake Forest, Duke, North Carolina, Minnesota, N.C. State, Kentucky and Georgia Tech.
LB Kendall Joseph of Belton Honea Path received an offer from Georgia Tech last week, bringing his total to seven. The Yellow Jackets join Clemson, Furman, Louisville, Duke, UCLA and Appalachian State as offers. Joseph plans to visit Louisville and Georgia Tech. As for the Tigers he said, "I love Clemson. I got a chance to visit three or four weeks ago and I went to a spring practice. I talked to the coaches and I like what they're doing there. They like my physicality." Joseph does not have any favorites but did say he plans to announce his commitment in early-July.
DL Poona Ford of Hilton Head last week landed an offer from Ohio State, according to his coach BJ Payne. That's the 21st offer for Ford. Some of the others are Illinois, Arkansas, Kansas State, Tennessee, North Carolina, Arizona, Georgia Tech, Michigan, Oklahoma State and Ole Miss. Ford has visited USC and Tennessee and those two remain out front for him. Ford was unable to attend the spring game in Columbia because of the ACT. Though he has named the two schools as his favorites, with no leaders, he will continue to look at other schools. This summer he plans to attend several camps with some teammates. Ford plans to wait until close to signing day before he announces.
QB Mason Rudolph of Northwestern has offers from LSU, Ole Miss, Virginia Tech and Oklahoma State. He recently took advantage of spring break by visiting Georgia, Alabama and Ole Miss. He does not have any favorites and is expecting several schools to stop by during his team's spring practices.
Summerville DB Darin Smalls was offered last week by Tennessee. That's his 10th offer. The others are USC, Clemson, Virginia Tech, Florida State, N.C. State, Georgia Tech, West Virginia, Marshall and Vanderbilt. Smalls planned to visit Virginia Tech over the weekend and has also visited USC and Florida State. USC is his leader, ahead of Florida State and Clemson.
DL Zeek Rodney of South Pointe has offers from S.C. State and Charlotte and is hearing from Clemson, UCLA, Indiana and Kansas State among others. UCLA and Indiana are showing the most interest in Rodney.
LB Jalen Williams of Blythe-wood has picked up offers from Furman and Appalachian State.
Basketball News
6-8 Darryl Reynolds of Philadelphia made an official visit to Utah late last week. He has also visited USC and Villanova and will announce his decision Tuesday at his high school, Lower Merion. "I think he's contemplating South Carolina or Villanova," said Reynolds' coach at Worcester Academy in Massachusetts Jamie Sullivan prior to his Utah vist. "He's always been really high on South Carolina. He enjoyed his time with Frank (Martin) and everyone down there. I think they are neck and neck with Villanova. He likes being in his hometown and he knows some of those coaches. But the idea of playing in the SEC really intrigues him. Everyone on the (USC) staff did a tremendous job with him."
6-9 Demetrius Henry of Bradenton, FL trimmed his list last week to USC and Miami eliminating South Florida. He will announce his decision Wednesday. Henry has not given an indication about a favorite.
USC still maintains some interest in 6-3 Shadell Millinghaus and 6-6 Leroy Fludd of Believe Prep in Rock Hill. Both have visited twice. They have not yet taken any official visits.
6-10 Sidy Mohamed Djitte of Senegal took an official visit to Cincinnati over the weekend. He has also visited Clemson. Djitte has not scheduled any other visits. "He's still going through the thinking process," said Djitte's coach at Northwood Temple Academy in Fayetteville, NC Chris Lattimer. "It's a huge decision. It is truly a life changing decision, so he wants to think through everything. I really admire him for being so thorough." Some of his other offers include Ohio State, Temple, Connecticut, NC State, Auburn and Old Dominion.
Clemson's other 6-10 spring target, Ibrahim Djambo of Mali visited Southern Miss over the weekend and will visit Saint Louis next week. He has also seen Clemson, Loyola of Chicago and SIU Carbondale.
USC added a wing with an NBA pedigree last week with a commitment from 6-6 Reggie Theus Jr. of Los Angeles. His father, of course, was a standout at UNLV and later in the NBA. Theus Jr. averaged 18 points per game last season for Fairfax High School and caught the attention of major college head coaches including USC's Frank Martin. "They came out during our league season and were very interested in the play of Reggie," said his coach Harvey Kitani. "It's his constancy and staying within the framework of the team and staying within the game plan." Theus Jr. made an official visit to USC in March and that trip convinced him to come across the country to play his college basketball. "He had thought about this ever since his visit," the coach said. "He pretty much told me that's where he liked to go. The reason being Frank Martin." Kitani said he expects Theus Jr. to have a bright future in a Gamecock uniform. "There's so much upside in Reggie," he said. "He will continue to get better because of the attitude and character he possesses."
USC also last week signed 6-2 Duane Notice of Toronto who had committed to them March 31st.
Charleston Southern signings…6-8 Ty'Quan Biting of Winston-Salem, NC; 6-6 Bakari Copeland of Lithonia, GA; 6-7 Will Saunders of London.
Presbyterian signings…6-4 Reggie Dillard of Greensboro, NC; 6-5 Danny Herrera of Miami Dade JC, FL
The College of Charleston Monday picked up two basketball commitments last week, one for the 2013 class and one for 2014. 6-11 Glenn Pierre of Oldsmar, FL will join the Cougars next season. And 6-9 Donovan Gilmore of Greensboro, NC committed for the 2014 class.
Coastal Carolina signed 6-1 Josh Cameron of Connors State JC, OK and 6-1 Deonte Houston of Olney Central JC, IL.
Newberry signed 6-6 Vincent Hicklin of Lower Richland and 6-0 Cole Birchfield of Trenton, GA.

Common Core
Before even reading the Nov. 8 article on Charleston County public schools' report cards I knew there would be a reference made to the new Common Core standards explaining how they have improved our public school system.
It seems to me that every time something goes right with public education the S.C. Board of Education and the state Education Oversight committee immediately attribute the success to Common Core. On the flip side, whenever anything goes wrong in the school system, it is because Common Core has not had enough time to work.
I am a student who has looked at Common Core for a course dealing with local policies until I was blue in the face. These new standards of education are the foundation for average schools concerned with meeting benchmarks. South Carolina needs exceptional schools focused on surpassing the expectations of the Common Core standards.
South Carolina is not the only state where there is controversy over continuing on with the standards. While we might see improvements in S.C. schools, perhaps it is simply due to the recent emphasis on improving education outside of Common Core.
It is time to really look at Common Core and assess whether it truly is the best option for our situation. South Carolina may be better off developing strong state values that push students further.

Make bike room
The Post and Courier recently published a letter titled "Restrict bikes." The theme of the letter was that bicycling in Mount Pleasant is inherently dangerous — that the town is doing a lot to accommodate bicycles, but in the meantime bicycles should be prohibited on roads such as Rifle Range and Long Point near Palmetto Islands County Park.
Under S.C. law a bicycle is a vehicle, and has the same rights to the road as any other vehicle. The law further requires motorists to give bicyclists safe passage, and to pass a bicycle (or other slow moving vehicle, like a golf cart), only where it does not endanger the cyclist.
There are some good things going on to accommodate bicycles, such as a recent Mount Pleasant town meeting which asked for input on bicycle and pedestrian traffic, and the new striped lanes on the access roads to Highway 17, and new sidewalks wide enough to ride bicycles on for new 17, but there is a lot left undone.
Rifle Range Road, specifically mentioned by the motorist, was repaved within the past two years. An engineer I know questioned the S.C. Department of Transportation and Mount Pleasant as to why bicycle lanes were not to be added (easy to do — land is there, mostly graded). The answer was that a multiuse sidewalk/path was to be added at a later date.
We're still waiting — and in front of Whitesides Elementary, for example, there's only a sidewalk on one side of the street, not in front of city-owned waterworks, and there are no bike paths.
The reason people don't ride their bicycles to the library, grocery store, bank and other short errands is that they don't feel safe, that there's not adequate space for them.
If there are enough bicycles on the roads (as in many parts of downtown Charleston), drivers begin to expect to see them, and everyone is safer. Build paths, widen roads, connect existing paths and bicycle usage will jump and accidents will go down.
I find it hard to understand a motorist complaining about bicycle safety. What exactly is the concern? A scratch on her car? Bicyclists like myself are very aware of the unequal risks taken when riding a bicycle in a car-centric environment. We are also, however, aware of the benefits to our bodies, the environment and our pocketbooks.
Please, watch out for us when you're in your car and take some time, to ride your bicycle outside your neighborhood to church, to a restaurant, wherever. You might be surprised how pleasant it really is.

Mark him down
A few days ago the House voted on and passed a bill with nearly unanimous support that would establish a panel to study the Veterans Affairs Departments backlog of disability claims.
It would be tasked with finding ways to shorten the appeals process for claims and also prioritize claims for particular groups like those who are elderly or terminally ill. The bill was passed voting 404-1. The one individual voting against it was our own S.C. Rep. Mark Sanford.
According to his Mount Pleasant office, it was due to some strings attached that our honorable congressman disliked. Four hundred and four of Mr. Sanford's colleagues must have misinterpreted the bill.
In the state of South Carolina there are over 550,000 veterans whom Mr. Sanford decided were not worthy of consideration. Mr. Sanford's contact and discussions with veterans seems to be very limited. I am ensuring that local veterans groups, including the VFW, Disabled American Veterans and the American Legion are made aware of this decision.
We need leaders who back the men and women that give so much to this country.

Thanks for victory
As chairman of the Dorchester County Taxpayers Association, I would like to thank all those individuals and organizations (especially Sen. Mike Rose, Councilman Larry Hargett, the Dorchester County Democratic Party, the Dorchester County Republican Party, the "Tea Party" groups and our own membership) that worked tirelessly for two months to defeat the Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) referendum in Dorchester County on Nov. 5.
With all due respect to those whose views differ from our own, from our perspective, those who worked so hard and those who cast the overwhelming "No" vote, to deny the tax increase and its redistribution of tax dollars away from the poor and middle-class residents of Dorchester County not only defeated one of the worst ideas since Adam but thwarted the pipe dreams of those mayors, superintendents, special interests, boards and councils in favor of LOST.
Now let us unite to further those common-sense principles of our founding generation, principles of transparency, accountability and concurrency, as opposed to the visionary foolishness that leads to sprawl, inefficiency and fraud.

Save Clamagore
The USS Clamagore is a valuable asset in the many exhibits at Patriot's Point. How often can the average tourist or visitor see the interior of a submarine?
Unfortunately at anchor in our harbor is a very labor intensive and expensive place for such a valuable piece of history. Saltwater imparts no mercy to a steel vessel.
After reading of the possible sinking of her for a reef, I wondered if anyone considered bringing the submarine out of the water and mounting it on supports with tour entry from land?
I believe Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry has a German submarine captured during WW ll on display without any harmful saltwater problems.
It would be a shame to lose this defender of democracy to corrosion.

The Mazes of Time
Price Reduction for Doctor Who: The Mazes of Time for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch!
As previously reported, the Doctor Who iOS game, Doctor Who: The Mazes of Time debuted in the Apple App Store last December. There are two versions, one is for the iPhone and iPod touch, and an HD version for the iPad. Unfortunately, it is not a universal app, so you can either get the iPhone/iPod touch version and upscale it for the iPad, or alternatively get the HD version specifically for the iPad.
The prices in the US App store had been $3.99 and $4.99 respectively, but are NOW ONLY 99¢ each. So if you have been holding off purchasing this game for the iOS platform, now is the time (that includes myself). At this time, I don't know if this price reduction only pertains to the US iTunes App Store or if it is worldwide. Also I do not know if this is a permanent price reduction or a limited time sale.
Here is the link to the iPhone/iPod touch version: Doctor Who: The Mazes of Time - BBC Worldwide
Here is the link to the iPad HD version: Doctor Who: The Mazes of Time HD - BBC Worldwide
Coming Soon to the App Store - Doctor Who: The Mazes of Time (video)
Coming soon to the the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Doctor Who: The Mazes of Time. Take a look at a demo of it being played on an iPad.

Titled Spin Cycles. CBC veteran Ira Basen has been running this brilliant 6-part series all about the world of PR spin. The global warming deniers and their energy-industry lobbyist friends will surely enjoy this special!

"Deniers" yet again,
DEW replied on Permalink
…Johan…you do realize, don't you that you've repeatedly referred to other people at this site as "science deniers", don't you? So I wonder, are you:
1. saying "do as I say, not as I do"?
2. applying different standards to yourself than to others? or
3. just a common troll?
I'm thinking it's a bit of all three, but I'd love to hear your take…

Science deniers
Ian Forrester replied on Permalink
You deny everything
J I K, you deny everything that any sensible person has to offer on this site. You are one of the biggest deniers around. If, as you say, the climate is warming but it is not caused by humans then please tell us what is causing this unprecedented rate of warming over the past 30 to 40 years.
And don't bring up solar output since that has been shown to be responsible for only approximately 0.2 degrees C of the recent warming.
DEW replied on Permalink
First, few people, if any, deny climate change.
Does this mean that you've chosen the sunspot theory from the denier's catalogue? Talk about a red herring. The issue, as you well know, is not climate change but AGW. Do you, or don't you, deny it?
Secondly, the very fact that you dismiss the IPCC's publications as "dogma", indicates that you in fact are a science denier, and are in fact refusing to acknowledge any scientific finding, or scientist, that does not conform to your point of view. The IPCC report may not be perfect, but it incontestably is science.
Third, your term was invented as retailation. That makes it right?
Fourth, it really doesn't look to me like you're interested in progress at all, since you've never shown anything close to restraint in your name-calling behaviour.
Fact is, Johan, this is a very difficult and complex subject. It's easy to become frustrated and emotional, as you have amply demonstrated, because we're all dealing with concepts that we can barely grasp. It's easy and tempting to simplify the issue by demonizing the enemy. I do that, you do that, many of the commenters on this site do that. If you were really interested in an honest discussion, you might think about rising above the tactics you claim to deplore, but instead you've shown yourself perfectly at home in the mud, so there's little reason to engage in serious discussion with you.

As ice dancing favorites, much is already known about the pair, such as they're not very superstitious, although they always hug their moms before a competition. And they've been skating together since 1997, having grown up 10 minutes apart in the Michigan suburbs.
But here are some things you may not know about the winning couple.
1. They're not dating, but they "take it as a compliment" when people askAlthough they're a dream couple on the ice, the pair are not romantically involved. But Davis said in a pre-Olympics teleconference that she and White "take it as a compliment" when people ask, since their strong on-ice connection is so convincing.
2. They would be willing to appear on Dancing with the StarsIt's no secret that Dancing with the Stars's Derek Hough choreographed their Olympic routine, but it may be less-known that the Olympians would be honored to appear on the show themselves. "If we were asked to be on that show, I think we would be really excited for that opportunity for sure," Davis said in the same teleconference.

3. They got a shout-out from the University of MichiganDavis and White are officially students at U of M, although they've taken the year off to focus on skating. Upon news of their win, the University of Michigan Tweeted, "CONGRATULATIONS to two of our Wolverines, @Meryl_Davis and @CharlieaWhite for winning the GOLD in #Sochi! Go Red, White, and BLUE!"
4. They give backNot only did they give the U.S. its first ice dancing title, Davis and White also support the American Cancer Society, the March of Dimes, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and The Humane Society, according to Look to the Stars, which profiles celebrity giving.
5. White likes the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Third Eye Blind, Jack Johnson and Kanye WestOn their website, the pair lists some favorite things, like the type of music they enjoy. While White includes specifics, Davis keeps it vague, "I like all kinds of music, it depends on my mood!" she says. She does admit to being fond of "peanut butter and chicken Caesar salads (not together)."
CONGRATULATIONS to two
of our Wolverines, @Meryl_Davis and @CharlieaWhite for

Swimming lessons: Lifeline for Ugandans
28 February 2007
"After AIDS and malaria, drowning is the biggest cause of death in our local communities here on the lake," says Patrick Tumwijukye, manager of a charity that is coordinating swimming lessons on Lake Bunyonyi, in the country's far west.
In the last five years alone, more than 1,000 residents have drowned in Uganda's lakes, though officials say the actual number is far higher — only a small fraction of drownings are reported to authorities.
The programme, run by the nonprofit Lake Bunyonyi Development Company, has 22 local and international volunteer swimming instructors providing lessons to children and villagers in Lake Bunyonyi, Africa's second-deepest lake. The charity has taught 2,200 Ugandans to swim since 2003.
Bryony Smith, 23, is a swimming instructor from Toronto, who has been volunteering at Bunyonyi for four months, told AP, "Word is spreading about the lessons and interest is growing. They're becoming really popular. I definitely think the lessons have saved lives."
"At first the ladies were resistant to (swimming) lessons because they didn't want to expose themselves and get wet, but they are changing their minds and now they enjoy swimming," Tumwijukye said. "We don't have anyone ready to compete in the Olympics yet, but we hope to do that in the future."
Landlocked Uganda's 10 major lakes are a lifeline for much of the population, providing fish, water and fertile ground for growing crops. The government Water Resources department estimates Uganda's fisheries earn the country some $150 million each year.
But poor public transportation links on Uganda's lakes means residents often rely on homemade boats and dugout canoes to fish and transport goods to markets. These makeshift vessels are often unstable or overloaded and frequently cause fatal accidents.
And in spite of their reliance on these waters, the majority of Uganda's 25 million people cannot swim.
"Even me, I am just now learning to swim," Simon Peter Okoshi, the marine police chief, told The Associated Press. "Swimming is not in the culture here, many people are hydrophobic."
Water Minister Maria Mutagamba welcomed the swimming lesson initiative and suggested it could be replicated on other lakes. "I think it's a good idea that so many people have acquired this important skill," she said.

Save Beaver Creek State Park group expresses concerns
February 17, 2013
LISBON — A local group opposed to surface drilling in Beaver Creek State Park is turning its attention to drilling companies that may want to withdraw water from the Little Beaver Creek....
The fact these companies would have to pay for water from East Liverpool or Buckeye Water District should be a huge red flag to anyone intrested in keeping our water in our creeks. They can drain the creeks, kill the fish all for no cost to them. This should also tell you these companies will NEVER clean the recovered water when they are done like they are supposed to. I realize many people think this is the gretest thing in the world. It may take some years but you will be proven wrong.
2 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I've seen them pumping out in the Dungannon area. They don't block the stream and leave a good percentage of water going down stream. They slowly collect the water until they have enough. Has PA complained about dried up streams and dead fish from lack of water? No, this is just another angle that the anti's use to attack the process. As with all the othr made up bs, we live this thing called fracking and the scare tactics have already fallen apart. Move on and scare uninformed people somewhere else. We are onto your game.
5 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I'm pro drilling, but people better realize that these companies have no emotional attachment to the land or need to preserve it. They've destroyed plenty of acres, forests, streams and ponds. They want what is in the ground bad enough to pay for it and we should make then pay for it. The "get out of their way" attitude is dumb.

Colorado's second snowstorm in the past three days kept emergency responders busy Tuesday night, with slick roads and blowing snow causing a number of road closures and minor crashes across Weld County.
In general, things were worse on the eastern plains portion of the county, said Colorado State Trooper Nate Reid.
"The biggest issue is the blowing snow," Reid said. That, coupled with icy roads and poor visibility, moved officials to close a number of thoroughfares.
"It's just the same stuff from this morning continued. We got a little break in the afternoon" when temperatures rose, Reid said.
National Weather Service meteorologist Frank Cooper said the Greeley area would at most see an additional inch of snow overnight, bringing the total after Sunday to more than 6 inches. Snowfall in the area varied greatly, Cooper said, from nearly 8 inches on Greeley's western edge to just 2 inches on the east side.
"It looks like the heaviest snow has stayed east of Greeley," Cooper said of Tuesday's storm. "It doesn't want to go away without a fight right now."
In all, authorities closed five corridors across Weld County and northern Colorado:
» Colo. 14 between Ault and Briggsdale
» Weld County Road 90 (near Pierce) between Colos. 85 and 14
» Weld County Road 54 between Colo. 257 and Weld County Road 17
» Interstate 25 from Wellington to the Wyoming state line
» Weld County Road 54 south of Greeley from Two Rivers Parkway west to Colo. 257.

People Who Know Foreigners or Travel More Likely to See Themselves as Global Citizens: Global SurveyMay 18, 2009
Questionnaire/methodology (PDF)
A WorldPublicOpinion.org survey of people in 21 nations from around the world finds that people who get to know people from other countries or who travel outside their country are more likely to view themselves as global citizens.
(Photo: J. Aaron Farr)
Among those who say they do not know people from other regions of the world, only 29 percent say that they see themselves as a global citizen as much, or more than, as a citizen of their nation. The more people know people from different regions of the world, the more they see themselves as a global citizen--rising to 47 percent among those who know people from five or more regions.
Among those who have not travelled outside of their country in the last five years only 29 percent say that they see themselves as a global citizen as much, or more than, as a citizen of their nation. Among those who have travelled outside their country at least once in the last five years, 39 percent say they see themselves as a global citizen as much or more than as a citizen of their own country.
Asked "Do you consider yourself more a citizen of [your country], more a citizen of the world or both equally?" most people around the world said that they think of themselves primarily as citizens of their country. On average 66 percent say they primarily think of themselves as citizens of their country, 10 percent as citizens of the world and 20 percent as both equally.
Previous research by the World Values Survey revealed that many more people think of themselves as a "world citizen" to some extent. In a poll of 45 nations majorities in 42 said that they see themselves "as a world citizen," with an average of 72 percent taking this position. The WPO poll reveals that substantially fewer regard this identity as more primary than their identity as a citizen of their nation.
In the WPO poll the nations with the highest numbers saying they primarily think of themselves as a "citizen of the world" are Italy (21%) and Germany (19%).
Substantial numbers say they see themselves as either a citizen of the world, or as equally a citizen of the world and their country. These include France (51%), China (50%), Italy (48%), India (46%), and Mexico (44%). The lowest levels are found in Azerbaijan (9%), Kenya (12%), Jordan (15%) and South Korea (16%).
The publics with the lowest numbers identifying themselves primarily as citizens of their nation were Chinese. These included 35 percent of Chinese and also 36 percent of Taiwanese. However 61 percent of people in Macau said they identify with their nation.
Younger people tend to be more globally oriented than older people. Among those 60 and older, 24 percent see themselves as global citizens. This rises to 34 percent among those 18-29 years old.
Global identity also increases with education. Among those with less than a high school education, 28 percent think of themselves as a global citizen. This rises to 39 percent among those with education.
Kull adds, "These findings also suggest international exchange programs, where people meet people from other countries, may increase the likelihood that people will think of themselves in more global terms."
The poll of 21,307 respondents was conducted in 21 nations between July 15 and November 4, 2008 by WorldPublicOpinion.org, a collaborative project of research centers around the world managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland. Most of the world's largest nations were included--China, India, the United States, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Russia--as well as Argentina, Mexico, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Egypt, Jordan, the Palestinian territories, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Kenya, Thailand, South Korea, and Ukraine. The nations polled represent 61 percent of the world population. Publics in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau were also polled. Margins of error range from approximately +/-2 to 4 percent. Not all questions were asked in all nations.

You know the saying, "Oh, the joys of being a homeowner!"
You have a leaky faucet or a roof that needs patched or maybe even a hole in your shower.
When we bought our house, we knew it was a fixer-upper, but after we fixed everything up, I thought we were done. Little did I know, there was a lot more fixer-uppin' in our future.
But there's a slight problem: My husband is not exactly the handy-man type.
No, he's more of an overseer of projects, paying someone else to do the work.
That leads to another problem: When you're a single-income household, you don't exactly have the means to just pay others to fix your house.
You have to learn to do it yourselves.
We have found we have friends who know how to fix stuff who are willing to teach my sweet husband whose hands are softer than mine (I grew up on a farm). And their wives are willing to let them hang out at our house for a day to help. Good women.
Now, I'm not meaning to toot my own horn, but I am quite the handy woman, which is a good thing because we would be in a world of hurt if neither Ray nor I knew nothing about anything.
Anyway, with the help of my dad, I helped lay our sprinkler system so now when we drive over a sprinkler, or run over it with the lawn mower…I know what to do!
I can fix the ceiling tiles (yes, hot gluing them still counts!).
But there are just certain things I didn't want to mess with - like the counter in our kitchen that has never been attached and the giant hole in our shower wall.
So I waited for Ray to figure it out.
In the meantime, we would advise guests, "Please don't lean on the counter," and I had an extra shower curtain that we hung over the shower wall (the first couple of days it was a little confusing, wondering which way to get out of the shower!).
Well, the other day, our friend Chuck came over with tools in hand, and took my husband to Home Depot. I wish I would have taken a picture of Ray before his outing, kind of like I do with my kids on their first day of school.
After a few pit stops (it was St. Patty's day), they made it back to the house and immediately got to work. I knew Ray meant business when he changed into his "painting shorts." After a few hours, they patched the hole in our shower (the right way…not with hot glue), tiled it and bolted down our counter top!
The best part? All I had to do was make sure they were fed! I can get used to this.
It was a great day. I think we all felt a little sense of accomplishment, they got to use power tools (argh argh) and I tested out a new Pinterest recipe and NAILED IT.
I love that my husband isn't afraid to learn how to do these things. Yes, he might not be the handiest man around, but he's learning and, he's having fun doing it.
What better way to learn than to have one of your best friends teaching (and laughing) beside you? To me, that is much better than paying someone else to do it.
So, yes our house still needs some work. But it's our house, and we're making memories in it. Before I know it, I just might get my cupboards painted, and the hole in our linoleum fixed. Even if it means keeping Ray's "painting shorts" out all of the time as a friendly reminder! (Ray, wink wink.)
Caiti Mondragon is married with three children. Read her Tuesdays on Greeley Moms. Also check out her personal blog here.
The best part? All I had to do was make sure they were fed! I can get used to this.

Enroll Now!
This was one of the mose useful professional ed courses I have taken. Each lesson had practical, easy to understand information. I came away with more useful tools than from all of the other Act 48 courses I have ever taken. Thank you
I learned so much from this course. It was much better than an in-service since I got to actually do the assignments and activities. I feel better prepared to work with the SMARTboard in my classroom and help my students learn to use it as well.
This course has been very helpful and has increased my confidence greatly. The instructor spoke in terms that were understandable and easy to follow. The lessons and the assignments were able to be used in the classroom immediately. I enjoyed the lessons. I could not wait to return to the next lesson. I have taken other SDE courses and have always been impressed by the quality of the course and the knowledge of the teacher, as well as with this course. I did appreciated the flexibility of participation in the lessons.
Lori is a phenomenal teacher. I have seen her in person at SDE conference workshops and am amazed at how much of her dynamic personality comes through via the web! She is direct, candid and patient and she really understands this dilemma many teachers are in: they are too old to be techno-babies but young enough that they simply must "catch up" with the technology their students have grown up with.
Great class and the teacher really knew her subject!

The Pinewood Panthers finished as the runner-up at the SCISA state golf tournament April 22-23 in Myrtle Beach.
The Panthers shot a two-day total of 623 to finish 13 shots behind Hilton Head Christian, who won the tournament with a total of 610. The Panthers and the Eagles were tied after the first day at 312 each.
Pinewood was led by senior Richard Hubbard who shot a 4-under 68 on the opening day. Katelyn Dambaugh finished with an 80 while Spencer Warner and Reona Hirai each added 82's to keep the Panthers in the running.
However the second day saw the Eagles post a 298 total to the Panthers' 311 to ensure their margin of victory.
"We knew going in that Hilton Head Christian would be tough to beat," Panthers coach Greg Baechtle commented. "They had beaten us four out of the five times we played them this year but we felt if we could produce some great golf we would have a chance. In tough conditions on Monday we were able to stick with them but unfortunately we couldn't produce the scores we needed on Tuesday to beat them."
Richard Hubbard backed up his opening 68 with a second day score of 69 to capture the individual medalist title by 11 shots.
"Richard played absolutely outstanding both days," Baechtle said. "We have been going up to that course for five years and that was the best golf I have ever seen there by any player. Richard has been playing extremely well the past month or so and without his effort we may not have been able to hold onto second place."
Hubbard, who has played at Pinewood for five years, will be attending the University of Wisconsin next year on a golf scholarship.
Pinewood has won five state championships and has been state runners up three times in the past eight eight years.
Senior Katelyn Dambaugh shot 80-77 at the tournament. Junior Reona Hirai shot 82 both days,. Seventh-grader Spencer Warner shot 82-86. Freshman JR Stark had an 84 the opening day and Senior Jeff Chickarello had a second-day 83 to round out the team scoring.
Pinewood finished the season with a 22-6 record.

More than a thousand Western New Yorkers angered by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's sweeping gun-control law are boarding buses this morning to take part in a massive gun rights rally in Albany.
"This is such a rotten bill that so many are offended by it," said Harold W. "Budd" Schroeder, of Lancaster, chairman of the Shooters Committee on Political Education, or SCOPE. The Buffalo-based group chartered five buses to ferry its members and supporters to the demonstration.
"They're afraid of it," Schroeder said. "It takes away their freedoms, … and it does absolutely nothing to stop gun violence."
Leaders of area hunting groups and gun rights organizations say they believe that about 20 buses, which can hold up to about 56 people each, will be headed to Albany for the rally from Erie County alone. At least a half-dozen more buses are leaving from other counties in Western New York.
The protest, to be held on the steps of the Capitol, is being organized by the New York Rifle & Pistol Association, the state affiliate of the National Rifle Association, whose president is among those scheduled to speak.
Thomas King, president of the New York Rifle & Pistol Association and a board member of the NRA, said that as many as 10,000 people are expected to show up to voice their opposition to the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act.
"The SAFE Act has awoken the sleeping giant, is what it's done," King said. "I have never seen the people of New York as incensed as they are over this issue."
Erie and Niagara counties are among 26 in the state that have passed resolutions calling for the repeal of the SAFE Act.
Only four legislators from the Buffalo Niagara region voted in favor of the law.
The SAFE Act, signed into law by Cuomo on Jan. 15, includes provisions such as broadening the state's ban on military-style weapons, limiting the number of rounds in a magazine and setting up a universal background check system.
Opponents say that it is unconstitutional and was jammed through the state's legislative process without time for proper public input.
King said his organization is getting ready to file a lawsuit against the State of New York in the next few days, following a class-action suit that Hamburg attorney James D. Tresmond filed last month in State Supreme Court.
Rich Davenport, recording secretary of the Erie County Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs, said his group had initially planned to charter one bus."And then it was two, and then it was three. Then it was four. Then we had another meeting, and we went ahead and said: Let's go with five and put six on standby," Davenport said. That sixth bus was full by Wednesday morning.
David N. Rickard, spokesman for the Second Amendment Coalition of WNY, said his group has a busload going. Repeal of the law is unlikely, many people acknowledge, is unlikely. "Gov. Cuomo could veto it," he said. "I think the only chance it has of going away is through the judicial process."
The rally, he said, is "simply the beginning."

LOCKPORT – Republicans in the Niagara County Legislature charged last week that former Democratic Election Commissioner Nancy L. Smith's upcoming retirement is timed to maximize her county health insurance benefits.
Smith and county Democratic Chairman Nicholas J. Forster denied the accusation, but the fact remains that if Smith left before April 15, when she turns 55, she wouldn't receive any retirement health insurance from the county.
But by staying until her birthday, Smith ensures that the county will pay 75 percent of her health premiums for the rest of her life.
"That's why it's going to cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars," said Legislator Paul B. Wojtaszek, R-North Tonawanda.
Family coverage costs the county between $12,000 and $14,000 a year, depending on the option chosen, said Risk and Insurance Director Jennifer R. Pitarresi. In recent years, annual increases have been 5 percent to 8 percent.
On Feb. 19, the Legislature accepted the Democratic committee's decision to replace Smith with Lora A. Allen as election commissioner, but Smith was chosen to succeed Allen as deputy commissioner until April.
"She decided when she was going to stay," Forster said. "[Health insurance] wasn't a question. It never came up."
The Legislature in 1998 adopted a policy that appointed officials such as Smith receive fully paid county health insurance if they have 20 years of county service.
Smith will retire with 19 years on the county payroll, entitling her to 75 percent coverage.
But the 1998 policy says the retiree must have reached "the minimum retirement age as denied by the New York State Retirement System." That age is 55.
"If she left her employment before her retirement age, she wouldn't get anything [in health insurance]," County Attorney Claude A. Joerg said.
"You have to reach the minimum retirement before the day you retire, or I suppose 'on the day of' works, too," Pitarresi agreed.
"That's why they're keeping her on," Wojtaszek charged. "I firmly don't believe Lora needs the orientation process. She's been there 10 years. She's ready to take the reins."
Forster said, "It's too bad the Dirty Dozen [his name for the 12-member GOP Legislature delegation] didn't pay more attention to trying to reduce taxes the last 12 years instead of nailing Nancy Smith to the wall. … It sounds like she's the first county employee ever to retire. It almost seems like it, according to these wizards."
Smith said in an interview last week that the decision to stay as deputy commissioner until her birthday was driven by her desire not to be without income until her state pension kicks in at age 55.
She is fully vested in the state pension system. Her years as secretary to Lockport Mayor Thomas C. Rotondo from 1990 through 1993 count. She became county auditor in 1994, deputy election commissioner in 1998 and commissioner in 2001.
"My husband and I had decided I was probably going to retire at the end of April, anyway," Smith said. "We're making some changes in my life, and he's older than me, and I want to spend some time with him."

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — State lawmakers officially begin their next two-year session Monday with the Legislature reshaped by the November election.
Voters gave Democrats two-thirds majorities in the Assembly and Senate, enough to raise taxes if they choose without Republican support. They also approved Gov. Jerry Brown's tax initiative, which will bring in about $6 billion a year from higher sales and income taxes on the wealthy.
If Democratic lawmakers don't blow through the new money, the state could see a budget surplus within two years.
"We have a tremendous opportunity and also a great responsibility to govern," said Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, who is poised to be re-elected to that leadership post. John Perez, D-Los Angeles, is expected to be re-elected Assembly speaker.
Monday's events will be mostly ceremonial before the Legislature adjourns for the holidays, although some lawmakers will begin introducing bills to be taken up next year. How to address the $1.9 billion budget deficit — a far smaller gap than California is used to — will be taken up after lawmakers reconvene in January. Gov. Jerry Brown also has said he plans to call a special session of the Legislature to address health care reforms after the first of the year.
Half the 40 senators are newly elected or re-elected, while the other half are in the middle of their four-year terms. There is one vacancy, with a special election scheduled Jan. 8 to replace state Sen. Doug La Malfa, R-Willows, who resigned his 4th Senate District seat in a successful bid for Congress.
Nearly half the 80 Assembly members will be new to the Legislature. It was unclear if all 80 could be sworn in because the vote margin in a few contests remains too narrow for the race to be called.
"It's a very serious day," said Assembly Minority Leader Connie Conway, R-Tulare, who is entering her final two-year term. "I remember for me, I had my mom with me on the floor and you look around at the beautiful building, the history and the other Californians that got themselves elected to represent the people. It's kind of a moving moment for some of us."
Democrats will have enhanced power this session after voters gave them veto-proof supermajorities in both chambers for the first time in decades. The two-thirds majorities mean Democrats no longer need Republican votes to approve tax increases or place ballot measures before voters, and proposals already are surfacing to rewrite the state's tax structure.
Lawmakers, along with California's statewide officeholders, also will be working for less pay starting Monday. The California Citizens Compensation Commission voted in May to reduce their salaries by 5 percent.
Even with the reduction, California lawmakers will remain the nation's highest paid with a base salary of $90,525 a year. Unlike lawmakers in some other states, they do not receive pensions.
The salaries for the Assembly and Senate leaders will be cut to $104,105.
Gov. Jerry Brown's $174,000 salary will drop to about $165,000. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom's $130,000 salary will fall to about $124,000, and Attorney General Kamala Harris will be paid less than $144,000, down from about $151,000.
Commissioners justified the action by pointing to years of state budget deficits, although voter approval of Brown's tax initiative in November is expected to give the state an actual surplus a year from now. The independent panel previously reduced salaries for California's statewide officeholders and its 120 legislators by 18 percent in 2009.

You're right who would want Samuelsson, it's not like he had the same PPG as Richards, Van Riemsdyk, Roy, Brassard, Hornqviust, Setoguchi, Hemsky, S. Koivu, Gagne, Booth, Duchene, Ruutu, Morrow, Dubinsky, or Stewart. None of these players have any value, I'm surprised they are even on NHL teams!
Sarcasm aside, Sammy's PPG being the same or near anyone on that list is not the same as Sammy being equal to that player.
Unless you're honestly saying the given the choice between Sammy and Mike Richards (I'm guessing you meant Mike), it's a wash?
Or Sammy and the 22 year old Sam Gagner (I'm also assuming that's who you meant and not Simon Gagne who was out most of the season with a concussion)
I could go down the whole list but I think you get my point.

Woman convicted in Huey Lewis car theft
Lewis is frontman for Huey Lewis and the News
A woman is to be sentenced in May in Northern California for the theft of a rental car and laptop from singer Huey Lewis.
Katherine Bowyer Gallagher has pleaded guilty to a felony charge of possession of stolen property. The Marin Independent Journal reports sentencing for the 31-year-old is May 15.
Lewis was identified by the California Highway Patrol as Hugh Anthony Cregg. The 62-year-old was staying at a Holiday Inn Express in Mill Valley on Feb. 21 when the Toyota Corolla he rented was stolen with his laptop inside.
Lewis says he left the car idling to go into the hotel for a receipt. Authorities say a CHP officer later spotted Gallagher in the stolen vehicle.
Lewis is the frontman of Huey Lewis and the News.
