CHARLES TOWN - Peeking out from behind a dumpster in a dark alley, a cat glances around. The instant it sees the movement of a human, it quickly runs off into the night.
Not all cats that do not have homes are simply strays. Some cats have never had contact with humans and are wild, untamed and cannot be turned into pets - these are feral cats.
Several years ago, on his way home from Washington, D.C., Joe Schmidt of Charles Town spotted some kittens near the entrance to the Metro. When he realized these kittens could not find food, he walked several blocks to a nearby 7-Eleven and brought them back some dry cat food.

Joseph Schmidt of Charles Town owns Maine Coon cats, all of which were adopted or rescued.
"This was a sub-colony of the larger colony of cats that live over at the Washington Naval Yard," Schmidt said, adding he found this out after feeding them for some time.
When he discovered a program called Ally Cat Allies, Schmidt began trapping these cats, having them neutered and then returning them to their environment as a way to properly manage the cat population. Since the cats were feral, they could not be turned into pets.
"Generally, when a stray cat is abandoned or strays away from home, and if that cat has kittens, those kittens never have human contact and are feral," Schmidt said. "Sometimes you can tame a feral kitten - I've done that - but you can never tame a feral adult cat."
Now, years later, Schmidt feeds his own colony of feral cats in Charles Town, which he has had trapped, neutered and returned to the wild.
Although he fears that by doing so, he risks being ticketed or fined, because, technically, what he is doing is against the city of Charles Town's ordinance 1102.16, which states: "No person shall feed, harbor or keep feral cats."
"On the other hand, there's another ordinance (1102.02) that says it's against the law to willfully withhold food, shelter or medicine from an animal," Schmidt said.
That ordinance, however, is intended for animals kept as pets, city manager Joe Cosentini said.
"Ferals, on the other hand, these are cats that no one owns," Cosentini said. "We are saying you can't randomly throw food out for these cats."
The city has these ordinances to allow for proper management of the wild animals, and while feral cats are not allowed to be fed, the process through which the Ally Cat Allies recommends (spay-neuter-return) is not something that the city finds objectionable, Cosentini said.
The problem lies in the location of where the feeding and trapping is taking place. While those residents who feed and trap ferals could technically be fined for the process, Cosentini said the city does not enforce that policy - as long as it is taking place on the city's property. If someone is feeding and trapping feral cats on private property, that property owner has the right to report the actions.
"We don't have a problem with this on city property; that can be done all the live-long day," Cosentini said. "If someone is going to do this on private property, then they need permission of the owner."
He also said that there are town residents who believe the city is trying to control the feral cat population by trapping them, but he said that is not true. The city of Charles Town has the ordinances in place to protect the animals that is the method of control. The city does not, and never has trapped feral cats, Cosentini said.
"Absolutely, the city of Charles Town has not now, and never has, trapped cats," Charles Town City Councilman Don Clendening said. "If for some reason we did decide to trap them, we would not treat them inhumanely we would be violating our own code."
Trap-neuter-return, Clendening said, is not completely in violation of the code, if done in a "humane fashion" and if the animals are property cared for. He did say, however, that feral cats should not be fed, because if someone feeds them, they are then responsible for that cat.
"We have not (trapped cats). Ever," Cosentini said.

8 Impressively Sarcastic Amazon Product Reviews (Part 3)
Your first thought here might be, "I want to ask if this is a joke product, but I'm afraid you're going to call me an asshole again out of nowhere. That was really weird and rude." Sorry, sometimes I get carried away. This is a joke product.
So we have a couple of jokes that bring up some unconventional ways for a penis to be "huge":
"Ladies ...?"
That one has a pretty good follow-up comment:
"Ladies ...?"
This next diatribe about the trials of having a big penis would probably make a good stand-up comedy bit. It's sort of like an X-rated version of a Paul Bunyan tall tale. It's pretty long (pause for reader to interject penis joke), so I've cut out a few choice excerpts.
#3. Accoutrements Horse Head Mask
The picture alone is pretty funny, so you'd think this would be a gold mine of comedic reviews. Unfortunately no. Here's a breakdown:
- 6 Sarah Jessica Parker jokes
- 1 Sarah Jessica Parker joke with Ann Coulter swapped in
- 3 Godfather jokes
- 13 "I put on the mask and it turned me into a horse" jokes
- ~50 serious reviews
Amazon user David Skwirut
Fortunately there is more variety in the image gallery. I recommend a look.
I understand that if people are actually buying a product, serious reviews are actually helpful, so fine. But 13 "I turned into a horse" reviews? Really? Do you think it gets funnier after the 10th time?
And I've kind of had it up to here with Sarah Jessica Parker jokes. We get it. It's funny that a horse is cast in human roles in a variety of television shows and movies, and it's funny that they write it so that all the other characters talk to it like it's a human. I just don't get what's so funny about repeating the same joke the show is making. It's like expecting laughs when you point out that Mr. Ed is a horse. Duh. That's the point of the show.
However, I am OK with repeated Godfather jokes because The Godfather was a masterpiece and you can never have enough Godfather references.
If you think that I am displaying a double standard in allowing Godfather jokes, then you are probably racist against Italians. Here is a non-Godfather one:
I like it better without the title, when it just seems like he was wearing a horse head mask, cruising down the highway and minding his own business when Johnny Law came along and steamrolled his rights. This is also a good one:
If you need a refresher on what the mask looks like:
Via Peter A. Kemmer
Safe from the mob!
#2. Certified Diamond
Certified Diamond (Heart, Good Cut, 8.00 Carats, D Color, IF Clarity)
The first thing you need to know is that this diamond was listed for just shy of $1 million, but thanks to some party poopers, it's now listed as "Currently unavailable."
That should set you up to enjoy the teamwork exhibited in this fine two-part story of riches gained and lost.
I kind of want to see the story continue, but I'm afraid it would just end

Josh Lucas and his wife, Jessica Ciencin Henriquez, are calling it quits after almost two years of marriage, PEOPLE has confirmed.
"She filed for divorce in New York this month," a source tells PEOPLE, remaining mum about the reason for the split.
The actor, 42, and Henriquez, 28, a writer, met through a chance encounter at a dog park in 2011.
"It was one of those weird ... classic New York meetings," Henriquez later told the Huffington Post. "I don't believe in love at first sight at all, but lightning definitely struck."
Becoming engaged six weeks later, after Henriquez opened up about the cervical cancer she was fighting, the couple quietly wed in New York City's Conservatory Garden in March 2012.
"We were at his apartment and I remember thinking, 'I have to tell him or I have to walk away, because this is something big and this could be a relationship,'" she said at the time. "I just blurted out. 'I'm sick,' and he was the first person I told."
"Well that's going to be a problem for me," Lucas replied. "Because I'm already in this."
"I felt like there was a 100 percent commitment and support during the whole thing. I was falling in love with him while I was starting treatment," adds Henriquez.
In June 2012, the couple welcomed a son, Noah Rev.
"Everyone says it's the greatest adventure you'll ever have and I'm amazed at how much I'm loving it," the Sweet Home Alabama star told PEOPLE that December.
A rep for Lucas has not commented.

PostgreSQL education and adoption has changed for the better
How times have changed for PostgreSQL
When I started teaching PostgreSQL education courses in 2001, PostgreSQL was the ugly one in the data center. Many of the people who were learning how to work with it were doing so grudgingly because of some specific requirement. They had inherited a PostgreSQL database, for example. As a result, many of them tried to learn just enough to do what they needed to do. The other population of students were serious technologists, die-hard open source devotees who wanted to use only open source solutions and were learning PostgreSQL because they needed a relational database for their operations.
But today, PostgreSQL is undergoing a renaissance of sorts as recent advances in features and capabilities have propelled the database forward with enterprises and small businesses alike worldwide. The professionals enrolling in training courses today come from a much broader technical background and the level of enthusiasm is much higher. Knowing how to work with PostgreSQL has become recognized as a valuable career path for individuals. I see experienced enterprise software professionals who are versed in operating systems and Windows, for example, taking the training to advance their careers. I also see whole departments within a company signing up because more enterprises are investing in PostgreSQL.
In classes about PostgreSQL, it helps to combine veterans with newly minted database administrators. Students from a mix of backgrounds provide a more interactive and enriching experience because of the questions they pose. People with operational experience help beginners by providing insight into why someone would need to know or work with some part of the technology. A beginner meanwhile can often pose questions that an experienced database professional never considered and they end up learning from the discussion.
TIP: I tailor my presentations to the students enrolled in that particular course. In the beginning, I ask about their goals and their backgrounds so that going in, I know if I have a large group of beginners or a greater number of professionals with a background in DB2 or Oracle. In presenting the content, I can highlight material that appeals to particular audiences.
But what longtime veterans find is a very different environment in PostgreSQL. Different in a good way. There is a philosophical emphasis in PostgreSQL that is not present in commercial solutions. It's a database designed by engineers for engineers. Commercial products seek to package and productize features. But with PostgreSQL, there is a modular framework and all the features work with every other feature. There are very few edge cases. So at first, for a database professional, working with PostgreSQL is a very different experience. But once professionals understand the design, they find it's very intuitive and they're hooked.
It reminds me of when my son suggested I try Ubuntu Linux. I had to buy a Windows laptop when I was working on the Windows port for PostgreSQL. I downloaded Ubuntu and started using it. I had been working with it for about a month when I had to go back into Windows for a project. I was shocked at how many things I suddenly could not do, things I had begun to take for granted.
PostgreSQL is like that.
16 Comments
I never thought of PostgreSQL as being "ugly". I chose for a "mission critical" application back in 1999 after evaluating several options and deciding it was the best. It "just worked" for nearly a decade. "Ugly" is how I would decribe most of the other options, and it was a factor in not using them.
In those early years, we just didn't get the _love_ we do now. I don't think anyone who used Postgres thought it was ugly, but the perception of people who didn't use it was that it just wasn't hip, or fast, or as good as the "big boy" databases. That certainly has changed for our benefit.
One of the many selling points of PostgreSQL is ease of installation and use:
* Download: around 50 - 60 MBytes
* Installation: A few relevant questions about database user and port number (with sane defaults).
And presto: You have a working database environment including administrative tools.
Another selling point in my area of expertise: PostgreSQL have - IMHO - the best support for spatial data of _all_ the major databases: PostGIS.

As well as facing the Big Data and Cloud Compunting the future today
I've tried most of the open source databases at one time or another and I have to say that PostgreSQL is my favorite by far. As pointed out in the article, it may not have all the bells and whistles configurable via a gui, but there is basically nothing it can't do. It's just a rock solid database ready to handle most anything you can throw at it. To top it off, EnterpriseDB offers training at a fairly reasonable cost and the two courses I took were great.

As well as facing the Big Data and Cloud Compunting the future today IMSC Rapid Mailer Review .
I have a PostgreSQL DBA for around 4-5 years now, having previously been an Oracle DBA, and I can honestly say I would much rather work with Postgres than any other RDBMS.
I haven't really noticed a huge uptake in Postgres usage in "big business" here in the UK, but hopefully it's something that is on the cards in the near future!
I have been using postgresSQL in the financial area for over 9 years. The speed with witch you can implement changes and the design philosophy for any calculations is to implement them in pgSQL and that way all clients no matter the platform get the same answer. If it is wrong, it can be quickly changed for all with little or no impact on any. We no have over 300 banks on the system and growing.
My first larger scale implementation to Postgres from another database system was a huge success. By taking advantage of using stored procedures, I was able to simplify the client side .Net code and increase performance exponentially. And as you said, with much of the business logic in the database, corrections/enhancements are all in one place which makes for easy maintenance. This particular application was able to easily support 300 business users (20-30 concurrently) using a very meager Core2 Duo with 2Gig of RAM without breaking a sweat.
PgAdmin is the shitties tool on this planet. That't the fucking choke point for wider postgres adpotion
The fact that you are unidentified speaks volumes about your limited knowledge of the proper use of adjectives in a public forum. I can only venture to guess that your knowledge of pgAdmin more that likely matches your understanding of proper decorum.
I completely agree with you on this one. No professional would make a post like this on an open forum, even if it were their true feelings. I myself use PgAdmin regularly and have no issues with it.
Postgres keeps on amazing me - I switched from sql server 3 years ago. At the time, I was blow away - by so much capability not in ms sql server, such as - surprisingly powerful native sql functions, domains , exclusion constraints, windows functions with aggregates plus enterprise features which cost a fortune with ms completely free. Also Postgres now seems to be accelerating it's rate of improvement, which is very exciting.
Re pgadmin comment , no need to be abusive, but I have to agree to some extent, functionality is okish, but pgadmin is so ugly, therefore does unfortunately tarnish users impression of the wonderful db underneath. A nice looking gui client for pc / mac or a rich web client - ideally with an easy to install pre- configured integrated http server for table/view browsing + function calling - would be extremely welcome. Also please rename - postgres is much neater than awkward postgresql - i can think of no good reason to keep. Anyway much thanks and very well done to all involved.
I have been using Teradata since the late 1980's.
My introduction to Postgres came via Netezza about 10 years ago.
Since then I've worked with other Postgres-derived MPP offerings such as Dataupia and Greenplum.
Postgres deserves far more credit than it receives.
Hello Bruce, I think one of the reasons that slow down the adoption of Postgres is the AMP stack, so people started to use MySQL as beginner.

Reasons To Be Cheerful - # 3
Unexpected smiles from strangers. Rare as hens' teeth in a big city, where the default mode is the avoidance of eye contact and intently scrolling your smartphone on the train is the human equivalent of a cat stopping to wash itself in the middle of the room (it makes you look Important and Purposeful when you're really just at a loss for something to do). But, lucky me, last week I received two - one in the supermarket (fruit & veg) and one, even less expectedly, on a busy station platform as the 07:39 disgorged its passengers into the morning rush - and both brightened my day out of all proportion to the simplicity of the act itself.
Did the smile-givers have any inkling of how that bold moment of breaking through the invisible but tacitly consensual wall between us would make me feel better for the rest of day?
Or were they just amused by my funny little face?
Well thank you smile-givers, either way: I promise to be less Britishly buttoned-up and to Give as well as Receive in the dark and drizzly winter weeks ahead.

I love it when that happens, and I do try to smile at strangers... hopefully not in a creepy way...ReplyDelete
There's a nice Zen question about this: you're walking along, and see somebody coming the other way. You smile at them, and they smile in return. Where does their smile come from?
Definitely another reason to be cheerful.ReplyDelete
I'm a smalltown/village gal..not only do I smile..I say hello.
That's going too far.ReplyDelete
My Dad, a london boy for most of his life, not only smiled and said 'hello' but would start conversations and, to my eternal shame when I was in the sixth form, used to walk home from the allotment with a basket of veg and offer bits of it to people as he passed them by.ReplyDelete
I am becoming my father although I don't think I'll ever reach stage 3.
There are people I see on the train every day who I always say hello to if I see them anywhere else, but we're content not even acknowledging each other on the train. Odd.
Remember when you were a kid being winked at by old men in the street? Usually with a chirpy "Alright son?"ReplyDelete
Probably get arrested for doing that now.
When we were en Francais dans le summer I was struck by how everyone would say Bonjour or Bon soir. I tried to keep this up, saying hello t people on the way to the corner shop etc. For about a week.ReplyDelete
Yes, I think it's exactly because a smile from a stranger is so rare in a big city that it's so lovely when it happens.ReplyDelete
All of that ritual hello-ing to everyone you pass business they're big on in the country is an entirely different thing.
They were deffo just smiling at the strange manReplyDelete
Animal magnetism.ReplyDelete
There's also the traffic light thing- you pull up at a red light, a car pulls up alongside and you both look at each other at the same time and then instantly look away. Always freaks me out a bit.ReplyDelete
Word veri- unoying
Another reason to be cheerful, govt says you only need tolay off it for 2 days a week, a doctor friend of mine told me 3 days, i think I will go with the govt on this oneReplyDelete
i could cough at you if you like. it's much the same...ReplyDelete
my every trip out round these here streets is a ooooh hello dear you alright g'morning nodding winking waving and smiles all the way. well done lovely soho. still never raised even a flicker of recognition in the blue posts mind.
the suprise smile is indeed the most lovely thing
There's seemingly a Care In The Community element when I smile at folk.ReplyDelete
I try most days.
I think we do talk to folk more as we get older. (Well maybe that's just me?) I suspect it's cos our need to give a shit diminishes - and there's less likelihood of there being an ulterior motive.
Adam's father had it right. Mind, if I offered a large courgette to a stranger on the 5:15 I'd likely get a slap.
i'm from a place called Finglas in dublin - very rough. keep head down, don't smile or wave or say alright.ReplyDelete
now i live in skerries - small town, folks nearly cross the street to say hello. it can fell like being groped but in a satisfying way. more in an older baby sitter way than a dirty uncle.
my Ma sez that Skerries is 'very residential' cos of the way folks say hello.
but the random smile/nod is cool.
i'm assuming you didn't intend it to sink to this Dave
You take it down ant, we're all with you.ReplyDelete
I smiled at a woman on the train once and now when she sees me on their she comes to sit next to me to chat. She's about 50 wears a fur coat and leopardskin print clothes, with an Ang from Eastenders hairdo and way too much cleavage. Full on Bristol accent and doesnt stop talking. That's what a random smile gets you. I don't smile anymore.ReplyDelete

When it comes to being environmentally friendly, Apple approaches things differently — through our products. That's why MacBook Pro is energy efficient and free of many harmful toxins.
View a PDF of Apple's Environmental Status Report for
13‑inch MacBook Pro with Retina display 15‑inch MacBook Pro with Retina display 13‑inch MacBook Pro 15‑inch MacBook Pro
Energy Efficiency
MacBook Pro is designed to be energy efficient right out of the box. It's even earned the EPA's ENERGY STAR qualification for its low power consumption.
Efficient power supply.
MacBook Pro includes a highly efficient power supply that reduces the amount of power wasted when bringing electricity from the wall to your computer. Lower power consumption reduces energy bills and lessens the environmental impact of greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.
Advanced power management.
Unlike a lot of Windows-based PC systems, MacBook Pro uses energy-efficient hardware components that work hand in hand with the operating system to conserve power. OS X activates sleep mode on already energy-efficient LED-backlit displays. And it balances tasks across both central processors and graphics processors. OS X never misses a power-saving opportunity, no matter how small. It even regulates the processor between keystrokes, reducing power between the letters you type. That's just one of many ways Apple manages small amounts of power that add up to big savings.
ENERGY STAR qualification.
MacBook Pro meets the stringent low power requirements set by the EPA in their ENERGY STAR 6.0 qualification. ENERGY STAR 6.0 sets significantly higher efficiency limits for power supplies and aggressive limits for the computer's typical annual power consumption.
Eliminating Toxic Substances
It's what MacBook Pro doesn't have that makes it more environmentally friendly. It's free of many harmful toxins like mercury, arsenic, BFRs, and PVC.
Fewer toxins.
The greatest environmental challenge facing the computer industry today is the presence of arsenic, brominated flame retardants (BFRs), mercury, phthalates, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in products. Apple engineers have worked hard to eliminate BFRs and PVC from MacBook Pro circuit boards, internal and external cables, connectors, insulators, adhesives, and more.1 And they've eliminated many other toxins that are a common part of notebook computer manufacturing — choosing, for example, mercury-free backlighting and arsenic-free glass for the MacBook Pro display.
Reduced Packaging
MacBook Pro packaging is designed to be as small as possible, so more products fit on fewer planes.
Smaller boxes, fewer planes.
We continue to make our packaging as small as possible. For example, the MacBook Pro with 13‑inch Retina display ships in packaging that's 25 percent smaller than the original 13‑inch MacBook Pro packaging. And smaller boxes are much better for the planet. Because smaller boxes mean we can fit more boxes on each shipping pallet. Which means more products will fit on each boat and plane. Which means fewer boats and planes are used, resulting in fewer CO2 emissions. It's one seemingly minor change. But it has a major positive impact on our environment.
Because MacBook Pro is made from aluminum, it's more likely to be recycled and reused at the end of its long, productive life.
Recyclable materials.
Apple has minimized the waste when MacBook Pro reaches end of life through its ultraefficient design and the use of aluminum, which recyclers can reuse for other products.
Free recycling for your old computer.
Apple offers a free recycling program for old computers and displays with the purchase of any new Mac. Learn more on the Apple Recycling site

Because first impressions are important, Foothill College and its programs are judged,
in part, by the graphic and editorial quality of their communications materials.
The guidelines set forth here allow the production of professional-looking print and
electronic publications that appropriately reflect a brand and identity while communicating
a distinct message for each program.
The purpose of adhering to college design standards is to strive for visual consistency, not to limit creative expression. A clear graphic identity for Foothill College does several things:
Appropriate college logos should appear on all traditional and multimedia/Web publications distributed off campus; on official college documents (internal and external); on official academic certificates; on official business system applications (stationery, business cards, mailing labels, etc.); and on promotional or marketing materials.

Last year I posted a blog to the Allstream portal about how tools like Cloud-based Microsoft Outlook services can help you implement personal productivity best practices, like 'Getting Things Done'.
This type of functionality is also possible with the Google toolset, indeed to be fair this is one way to see how Google outshines the competition in terms of their Cloud fit for this type of agile working.
Google Enterprise
The primary challenge with defining 'Google Enterprise', as in how the Google cloud suite can be used by large, and small, businesses to better improve activities like office work, is that there is so much of it.
From their best known Search engine through Google Compute for "IaaS" – Infrastructure as a Service, like Amazon, through their PaaS which is the Azure equivalent, and multiple SaaS products, Google is a never-ending treasure trove of Cloud assets.
Getting Things Done
Therefore like the Outlook Cloud Services example, the first most likely area to consider is the basics of email and office tools.
For this there is Google Apps for Business, which includes GMail and the Drive products, the equivalents of Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc., that are different by operating entirely online. There is a list of tools like Groups, Sites and Contacts for enhancing your own personal productivity and also achieving this through collaboration with others.
Indeed here they quite specifically describe how you can Get Things Done.
This is the 'pure play' Cloud mantra, i.e. it's not about having an offline document that you then use email to share online, but rather you simply have an online document.
The speed and ease of Google this way also lends itself to setting up a personal system like GTD. This is simply about better "labeling" the types of work you do so it's more organized, and GMail has a powerful way of also tagging your emails this way.
In short everything you are looking for in terms of agile and effective office working is a real sweet spot for the Google tools.
Coming next – Salesforce 2.0 and Google UC
In this ongoing Google Enterprise series we'll also introduce the other key product areas, like 'Google UC' – Where these office apps intersect with online Unified Communications, and then also "Salesforce 2.0″ – How you can leverage this social media style of work to better manage sales operations…

Niagara County Community College student Chad Szymczak was awarded a $1,000 scholarship through the Davey Foundation Arbor Grant Program, which awards 30 scholarships nationally to college students in any of the fields related to the "Green Industry," such as: arboriculture, horticulture and forestry.
Nick King, sales representative from the Davey Tree Expert Company office in Lancaster, was on hand to present the check. This is the third time in three years an NCCC student has earned one of the Davey Foundation Arbor national scholarships.
Szymczak, of Cheektowaga, is planning a career working with the disabled using horticulture therapy.
Army Pvt. Stephen K. Cooper has graduated from basic infantry training at Fort Benning, Columbus, Ga.
During the nine weeks of training, the soldier received training in drill and ceremonies, weapons, map reading, tactics, military courtesy, military justice, physical fitness, first aid, and Army history, core values and traditions. Additional training included development of basic combat skills and battlefield operations and tactics, and experiencing use of various weapons and weapons defenses.
He is a 2012 graduate of Starpoint High School.
Army National Guard Pfc. Meghan E. White, Army Reserve Pvt. Dominic S. Colangelo and Army National Guard Pvt. David J. Austin have graduated from basic combat training at Fort Jackson, Columbia, S.C.
During the nine weeks of training, the soldiers studied the Army mission, history, tradition and core values, physical fitness, and received instruction and practice in basic combat skills, military weapons, chemical warfare and bayonet training, drill and ceremony, marching, rifle marksmanship, armed and unarmed combat, map reading, field tactics, military courtesy, military justice system, basic first aid, foot marches and field training exercises.
White graduated in 2008 from Starpoint High School, Colangelo graduated in 2010 from Niagara Wheatfield High School, and Austin graduated in 2011 from Niagara Falls High School.
Niagara University's "What's On Your Mind?" advertising campaign garnered a silver medal in a national competition of college and university marketing materials.
Niagara's 2012-13 advertising strategy earned the Collegiate Advertising Award among competing colleges with between 2,001 and 5,000 students.
"What's On Your Mind?" comprised a seven-part series of 15-second commercials that addressed critical issues students face when selecting a college. The spots were formatted in a manner that began with a student voicing his or her concern before concluding with a university-related statistic that corresponded with the topic. Subjects included job placement, campus involvement, financial aid, and community service and study abroad opportunities.
"There are so many great stories here at Niagara, and it's great to be able to communicate these through our advertising vehicles," said Tom Burns, associate vice president for public relations, communications and marketing.
The spots were tied into online advertising campaigns on sites like Facebook, YouTube, SparkNotes and Pandora. In addition, the ads were featured prior to movie showings at Regal Cinemas throughout Western New York.
More than 700 entries from the United States and Canada were submitted in the CAA competition's multiple categories, designed to highlight communication, marketing and advertising initiatives.
The Niagara County Municipal Clerk's Association inducted their new officers on Feb. 21.
They are: president, Micky Kramp, Newfane Town Clerk; vice president, Ellen Hibbard, Wilson Village Clerk; treasurer, Cindy Boyle, Hartland Town Clerk; and secretary, Marie Little, Royalton Town Clerk.

It's an animal attraction!
Leonardo DiCaprio took a break from filming The Great Gatsby in Sydney to spend some quality time with Blake Lively.
A few days after marking her 24th birthday, Lively jetted off to Australia to meet her beau, and on Tuesday, the couple stopped by Sydney's Featherdale Wildlife Park, where they met a dingo pup named Nala, a koala named Austin and a python named Cuddles.
"They were both so nice and down to earth," Featherdale marketing manager Kellie Ames tells Australia's Daily Telegraph. "There was certainly no diva behavior. Leo was asking about the endangered animals. They loved the koalas and the wombats. We also brought out baby saltwater crocs."
Lively and DiCaprio attempted to stay under the radar; they both wore hats at the zoo. Their affection was on clearer display on Saturday, when the pair stopped at Sydney's Aria restaurant for a dinner with a harbor view.
A source told the Daily Telegraph: "She looked gorgeous and they looked very much like a couple."

COLUMBUS (AP) - Ohio's attorney general is warning consumers to proceed with caution when it comes to last-minute sales on tickets to big games or events.
Attorney General Mike DeWine's message came as consumers were being lured by Black Friday sales.
DeWine says Ohioans should be careful when purchasing tickets online from third party vendors or online market places.
His office has received reports of fraudulent tickets being sold for the Michigan-Ohio State football game this weekend. DeWine said the consumer thought he bought tickets online and wired money to have the tickets mailed, but they never arrived.
DeWine is encouraging people to follow tips from the Federal Trade Commission. He says to check with the event organizer, promoter, or venue to find out where tickets are being sold.

Hanahan Middle School Principal Robin Rogers has received a special honor in his 13th year as principal.
That award is the Palmetto's Finest distinction that HMS has won.
"We're walking pretty high right now," Rogers said. "We had to submit a 20-page application in August. From there they processed all the applications of the state.
"If you made it through that you were named as getting a visit. We received the first visit. We received a second visit in late February."
A different team of school administrators from around the state made two visits to the school.
"No room was left unturned," Rogers said. "They have a rubric they fill out . . . community involvement, leadership, instruction, student achievement."
When time for the big announcement came the afternoon of March 11 several employees and members from the Berkeley County School District office, parents and students gathered in the media center to watch the SCETV broadcast in which they were announced a winner.
"We celebrated," Rogers said. "Everybody was happy, ecstatic. The whole faculty. Parents, students, community members.
"As soon as they announced it everybody jumped up and clapped, hugged, cried . . . just to know the process you went through is one thing but to know the dedication and hard work and pride faculty kids and community have in school on a daily basis. the award validates all the hard work the community does."
Rogers was presented with a plaque and banner.
HMS has previously won awards such as the Blue Ribbon Lighthouse School of Excellence and was named a Red Carpet School.

Project HUGE: My Recent Experience With Light Cardio Fitness
I am not one who enjoys cardio. In my many years of gym experience, I have done very little cardio. And when I say "very little," it's only cause I am too timid to say, "none." However, about two months ago, my right-wrist pain came back a bit. I was so nervous about aggravating it that I stopped going to the gym. During this three week period of wrist-wrest, I decided to battle my mild sloth-depression with some light cardio work. I started using my $79 GNC stairmaster 3-4 times a week for no more than 22 minutes at a time. And, I know it's only 22 minutes because that's how long a 30-minute show is when you record it on DVR and then fast-forward over the commercials.
22 minutes is about all I can stand emotionally... and about all I can manage cardiovascularlly. But, I have to say it seems to be working. In the last few weeks, I've had a few people mention that I'm definitely looking healthier that I have in a long time. OK, so granted one of them was my mom, but I do feel like it is actually making a difference.
Now that I'm feeling good about it, I want to keep this cardio fitness thing going - January 2009 is gonna be the month where I prepare to completely get back into a healthy lifestyle. As such, I looked at upgrading my stairmaster to something a bit more comfortable (a little Christmas present to myself). Unfortunately, it looks like once you upgrade from the $79 GNC stairmaster, the next step up is over $1,000. And then, the next upgrade after that is over $2,000!
Looks like I'll be sticking with my little, fold-up stairmaster for the time being. It's not the most comfortable (the feet don't stay level as you step), but it's the perfect size for a New York City apartment.
Here's to getting healthy in the new year!

Umm, as I read all the way through your post, I can't help but think that your wrist pain isn't a terribly vexing mystery. Sometimes it's good to take a problem into your own hands; sometimes it's better to get the help of others. (mind you, not knocking your blog adornments, but they might be leading you to an early disabling by carpal tunnel)
Jason makes a good point.
Also, unless you actually took those photographs yourself, you really shouldn't go putting your logo on them. As a (non professional but semi-serious amateur) photographer, if I saw photos I'd taken on someone elses site with their logo on them and no credit to me, I'd be writing you a polite email asking you to remove either your logo, or the photos altogether.
I've no idea what licence the photos are under (if any) but you really can't effectively claim credit for them if you didn't take them. You wouldn't go taking GPL'd code, remove the licence and claim credit for it yourself, would you?
You are absolutely correct. Sorry about that. I was doing this late last night while simultaneously having an argument with someone; I was distracted. Logos have been removed. As far as giving credit or permission, sometimes it's just not possible - I found the above photo on a fitness forum site... I am sure the photo was taken from a site that took it from a site that took it from a site. I don't know what the rules are in that case?? If you have any insight, I would love to hear it in such matters.
That is actually one of the things that I want to get better about - seeking help. In fact, that is one of my big resolutions for 2009: not letting any of my health issues become a second-rate matter. I need glasses, I am gonna go out and get them; I have knee pain, I am gonna seek the help of an ART (active release technique) professional. No longer will I just ignore pain hoping it goes away. As for the wrist, I have been to a sports medicine doctor and an eastern doctor. I am working on it :)
ben, i know we briefly talked about this on the twitters, but i'll give some more detail about my experiences with cardio. back when i was a gym rat, i used to do about 45 minutes on the elliptical. i liked it, but it's sooooo boring. after my firstborn came along and there was zero time to go to a gym, I started exercising at home. First, with the billy blanks bootcamp series, which wasn't bad, but which after a few months was no longer a challenge.
i said to my wife, "wife, i want a workout that makes me feel like puking". i saw the infomercial for p90x and bought it the next day.
it kicks ass! even after a year with it, when I do p90x workouts, they still rock me. it simply works you too hard to get bored.
now, in terms of cardio, the series comes with 4 different cardio videos. one of them, "Cardio X", is pretty light. I wake up around 4:30 AM on weekdays, and if I feel like getting the blood moving, I'll do this one. Another, "Kenpo", is basically a tae bo ripoff. I quit doing it b/c it wasn't gittinerdone. But the other two freakin' rock. There's "Plyometrics" and "Core". Both are about an hour. Both make me wobbly. p90x is not some girly cardio program though. it's all about the muscle. So even these 2 cardio-heavy programs are muscle intensive.
I know I sound like a fanboy... that's OK. if it weren't for p90x, i'm pretty sure i'd be 30 pounds overweight.
good luck man!
Go to the park for cardio. You will feel much better for it. Nice women there as well. I am sure the sight of you struggling up hills will bring out their maternal instincts.
I've talked to a number of people about p90x and no one has anything but great things to say about it. I have no doubt that it is good. I can't believe you wake up at 4:30 AM and have the energy to move :)
It looks like I can check some it out on YouTube just to get a taste of what it's like:
Maybe in the spring time. Right now, its waaaaay too cold. It would be fine during, but I sweat so much exercising that the second I stop, I'd freeze!
Lately, running has been my favourite form of cardio (although I haven't done much since my son was born!). I've never liked doing hour+ cardio sessions, I get bored with it. Running, whether outdoors or on a treadmill, lets you vary the intensity, so you can get an extremely effective workout in 30-45 minutes. I've also always found sports can be a way to get cardio in without the boredom. I started getting into ultimate frisbee about a year ago, and for big guys, trying to chase those little frisbee people around will really kick your butt.
Running is good, but kills my knees (I am flat footed and extremely heavy on my feet with hard landings). I have heard that interval training in running is one of the best conditioning activities that you can do.
why don't you do cardio at the gym?
Lately, I have been trying to alternate cardio and weight training. Once you get in the habbit, it's not that hard. And, it works.
Plus, at the gym they have a couple of things that make the treadmill a lot less boring. You know, like TVs, pretty women, etc. ;-)
I'm not sure; something about being home, watching my TV shows just feels comfortable. I have tried to do some cardio in the gym in the past and it was never fun. Maybe I'll give it another go.
Plus you don't necessarily have to use a treadmill ... I can't get a good workout walking on one, and my knees prefer that I don't run, so I typically do elliptical machines or stairclimbers instead.
And yes, the scenery is (occasionally) much better in the gym. :)
I remember a year ago when I switched to my current gym; there was so much good.... scenery... that I found it hard to concentrate on my workout. The newness of that wore off thankfully, but it was really funny at first.
Sorry to hear about the pain, BUT...it seems to me that no one really got the undertone of what Jason's first comment was...
This seems to not be a cardio equipment problem...
@Ben, switch hands?
Ha ha, strategy in effect.
You say about your hard landings and footfalls... Look at some parkour on the internet. Try Parkour Generations. The sport develops incredible stamina, agility, core and polymetric strength, not to mention fluidity, and would encourage you to get rid of those hard footfalls. Look for some traceurs (practitioners of the sport) in your local area, and consult them on trying to resolve your hard footfalls, these guys are some of the most informed people you will ever meet when it comes to landing effectively in order to dissipate energy. Practicing the sport isn't necessary, just talk to these guys, they may have some excellent coaching techniques for you on perfecting that footfall, a big park of parkour is stealth, and silence. Landing without making a noise.
Another conversation I am incredibly late to, but I wanted to comment. I know what is said about weight-lifting type of exercises build muscle and therefore increase your resting metabolism, resulting in weight loss, and believe me, I LOVE weight-lifting types of exercises. At the same time, admittedly, I am a runner; it is something I enjoy doing. And I have noticed, for whatever reason, that when I am actively running, I lose weight VERY effectively. I wouldn't say it falls off per se, but more like, I maintain like crazy, effortlessly, when I am running actively over a period of time, and I just simply don't put weight on during that time. Like, to gain weight during a period of time when I am actively running, I would have to try really, really REALLY hard, and I don't even know if I could do it then! On the other hand, if I am not running during a period of time, it is fairly easy for me to put it on, even if I am doing weight-lifting type of activities. And if I am not running and have put on weight, and start, I really am able to lose back down to where I previously was.
I know you said you couldn't do the running thing...can you jump? Or is that too painful for you or bothersome? I was thinking plyometrics...could you do those, you think? I absolutely love plyometrics, but I know there are some people who hate them. It's insane how fun I think they are, I think.
Another set of things that I like are things that kind of have a cardio "aspect" to it, but also have a strength training aspect as well (and combine some flexibility also). An example of this is martial arts...I absolutely love martial arts, and depending on which discipline you are practicing, it could be very cardio in nature, but it would also have a strength training aspect as well, but there are other disciplines that may have "more" of a stregth training aspect, and a little less of the cardio. I am guessing the grappling (wrestling) would fall into this category. I haven't known too many things that were a greater rush than being on top of someone and making them submit to you. :-) See, I told you I was weird. :-)
Anyway, about that last pic...I have some MAJOR ab envy going on here. I think there has been a shift in my thinking as to what I actually personally want for myself. I used to want the six-pack, eight-pack whatever-pack abs like that...I thought that would be the best thing ever and so cool! But then, when I was doing my running steadily and everything else in the world physically, I had myself a very nice flat stomach. It wasn't fat, and it wasn't muscular, it was just flat. And I got to where I liked it that way a whole lot on me. Now, don't get me wrong...I would still love to get those rock hard abs...the six- or eight- or whatever-pack for a season...just as a goal-oriented thing to make me feel successful and accomplished. But even if I was able to achieve that, I would want to go back to the flat abs for me, personally, not long after that...I wouldn't necessarily want to keep them. But they look GREAT on her!!! I still have ab envy, because I still think they look great on her. :-) I just think for me, personally, the flat stomach goes better with everything else. I don't think the abs would as much.

On Monday's Dancing with the Stars, frontrunner Zendaya earned the first 10s of the season and Karina Smirnoff performed with ex-fiancé Maksim Chmerkovskiy for the first time since their split.
But for Andy Dick and D.L. Hughley the night was a repeat of hearing harsh critiques from the judges.
Dick made a statement with a Zoro-themed entrance during his paso doble with partner Sharna Burgess, but the rest of his dance was panned. Hughley, too, failed to impress the panel with his and Cheryl Burke's tango. Both couples finished the night at the bottom of the leader board with 18 points.
At the end of Tuesday's elimination, Andy and Sharna were declared safe but D.L. and Cheryl were in jeopardy, along with soap star Ingo Rademacher and Kym Johnson and boxer Victor Ortiz and Lindsay Arnold.
But the couple with the lowest combined scores and leaving the competition were D.L. and Cheryl.
"I've had a ball," he said after hearing the news.
And when asked what he'll miss about Dancing with the Stars, he said, "Just Cheryl."
But the comedian couldn't resist cracking a joke at the expense of judge Len Goodman, who had been hard on him throughout the season. "You need to work on your hip action," he joked.

The once shy Olympic gymnast, 18, was ever the giddy competitor backstage after Monday night's Dancing with the Stars.
"I've just been having so much fun that I don't think I'm being interviewed right now or I'm on TV," Raisman – who admitted she was previously nervous to interact with reporters – told PEOPLE. "It's just been such an amazing experience. I just feel like a new person. I know I keep saying this, but I've never had this much fun in my life, so it's been really awesome."
Raisman, who was one point shy of a perfect 60 out of 60 on Monday with partner, Mark Ballas, adds, "My whole life has always been gymnastics, so to do something different is just like, 'Ahh.' "
Letting loose with laughter, the athlete went on to say, "I like this new Aly – Wooo! Well, actually, no, when I'm in gymnastics, I like the old Aly because I have to be very focused, but here, it's just all about having fun! Yeah! Yeah!"
With her partner by her side, jokingly telling her to shush, Raisman said, "[Mark] has to deal with me all the time. Yeah! … Woo hoo!"

Ms. Olipa Nkunika has appealed to the National Food and Nutrition Commission (NFNC) to establish more radio listening groups (RLGs) in the rural areas where there are high levels of malnutrition.
So far, NFNC has established 47 RLGs in nine of the 14 phase one districts implementing the First 1000 Most Critical Days Programme as part of nutrition sensitisation programme.
Welcome to NFNC Website
It's our pleasure to welcome you to the National Food and Nutrition Commission's Website. The National Food and Nutrition Commission, also referred to as the Commission, is a government parastatal set up in 1967 as an advisory body to the Zambian government on all matters relating to food and nutrition.
As a research and advisory body, we run various projects and programmes, some of which we implement directly or in partnership with other government ministries, international organizations, learning institutions, civil societies, NGOs, the private sector, faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, the media and many more who have nutrition at the centre of their heart, or can influence policies that support and nurture nutrition.
