SRAM makes their PF30 Bottom Bracket Assembly to fit frames that use this pressfit standard. If your bottom bracket shell has a 46mm ID, then this is the bearing set that you'll need to install your BB30 crankset. Be aware that it will work with any brand of BB30 crank as well. While SRAM's GXP system is proprietary, BB30 is not.
To install this PF30 Bottom Bracket Assembly, you'll want a standard BB30 tool to press the composite cups into the frame and ensure correct installation. The sealed cartridge bearings will ensure smooth operation for many miles. The unit comes complete and ready to install. It's compatible with 68mm road shells and 73mm mountain shells.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I think these are a great BB option. I haven't ever had any issues and the low price makes this a winner. I've been running these for years with no complaints.
Works Great
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a great economical PressFit bb. Still spinning smooth after a year.
Super simple
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I would say "super duper simple" but that would require that this never existed and every bike had a threaded bottom bracket shell that works fine. But, that is not the case anymore. I recently installed this on my Yeti ASRc and it was super simple. Just grease it and press it in. I then used a PF30-to-GXP adaptor and used my existing SRAM GXP XX1 crankset, 168 q-factor. It just works.
best BB for the money
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I'm not a fan of ceramics, so this is totally awesome. Cheap, durable, simple.
Will a bb30 sram cx1 force crank fit on this bb?
Need bb adaptor fits old school American...
Need bb adaptor fits old school American bb, 2", to hold my bb30 spindle and crank arms
Good PF BB-30
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
It does the job on my BH cross bike. It fit in nicely and is smooth. The BB-30 seems to spin more freely than a 24mm bottom bracket. It has held up through snow, salt, ice, and mud. I clean it up from time to time and I am good to go. I doubt it is worth moving to ceramic, especially since you can afford to replace it more often since it is only $40.
To carify, this is not a BB-30 standard bottom bracket - it is a PF 30. These two standards fit different shell widths but both fit the same BB30 cranks.

Fourteen days ago, the Pirates offered the State College Spikes a four-year extension to their player-development contract, according to Spikes owner Chuck Greenberg, and State College officials countered by saying they would like to re-up for two years.
Something happened -- and it's unclear exactly what -- during the past two weeks that led the Pirates to decide to end the affiliation altogether. An official announcement of that came Monday, when the Spikes revealed they once again will be affiliated with the St. Louis Cardinals, while the Pirates are moving their short-season A-ball affiliate to Jamestown, N.Y.
"What had seemed to be a natural fit, both sides got to a point where it would be better to explore other options," Pirates general manager Neal Huntington said.
Huntington went on to point out that "relationship endings are not always pretty," and this one appears to fall somewhere in that category.
Greenberg said that 14 days ago, when Pirates outfielder Starling Marte was rehabbing with the Spikes, Bucs assistant general manager Kyle Stark met with Spikes GM Jason Dambach and offered a four-year extension to the player-development contract. A deal could have been agreed upon that day, but the Spikes were more interested in a two-year deal, like the one they had that just ended.
On Sept. 10, Greenberg and Pirates president Frank Coonelly had a lengthy phone conversation.
Fact Box
No impact on Curve
The Pirates/Spikes affiliation changes have no impact on the Curve, general manager Rob Egan said. The Curve's player-development contract runs through 2014 -- then likely will be extended another four years -- and the strength of the affiliation is evident by the Pirates agreeing to come to Altoona for an exhibition game in March.
"We have a great relationship with the Altoona Curve," Pirates president Frank Coonelly said.
"I had a great discussion with Frank Coonelly and felt really good about it," Greenberg said. "There was nothing really even remotely contentious, and I looked forward to hearing back from them. And unfortunately, we just never heard anything."
The following day was a deadline for organizations to file paperwork saying they would be interested in seeking new affiliations, which both the Pirates and Spikes did. The next deadline came Saturday at midnight, and when that passed with no agreement in place, the Spikes became a minor league free agent.
"The discussions between Frank and Chuck there at the end, it was a situation where they appeared to us to have moved on, and so we cleared our minds and were ready to set up a new partnership and new affiliation," Huntington said.
The Cardinals called the Spikes shortly after midnight, and they quickly reached a deal. The two sides had been affiliated in 2006, the Spikes' inaugural season.
So what went wrong between the Bucs and Spikes?
Coonelly told the Mirror that the Pirates' views about the Spikes affiliation changed in early June, when Dambach made heavily publicized comments about the Spikes wanting to be able to field more competitive teams than they had as a Pirate affiliate since 2007.
"We weren't mad about J.D.'s comments," Coonelly said.
They did have an impact, though.
Up until then, Coonelly said, the Pirates had always been interested in pursuing a four-year PDC with the Spikes. But Dambach's comments served as a turning point, Coonelly said, that led the Pirates to believe the Spikes and Bucs might have different priorities.
"We were probably the aggressors at that point in time, and we were continually told, 'let's wait, let's wait,'" Huntington said. "And then we got to a point in time we decided if there wasn't the commitment, if there wasn't the belief then it was probably time to move on."
Dambach also said in June that the Spikes wanted to wait until the season ended to consider their options. The season ended two weeks ago, and the Spikes finished 35-41.
Greenberg noted the Pirates still offered a four-year extension as recently as 14 days ago, which would seem to show that the comments made by Dambach about having a competitive team were not a factor.
Huntington acknowledged that much.
"It was water under the bridge for us," he said.
Greenberg said the affiliation decision from the Spikes' standpoint had "zero" to do with winning and losing.
"When I spoke with the Pirates, I emphasized that in no way, shape or form did we have any thoughts, feedback or comments about the on-field product at all," he said.
"Obviously we would have liked to have had more on-field success over the past six years than we had, but we're Pirates fans, and if the Pirates believe that they're making progress in player development, then we're right there behind them and hoping for nothing but the best."
Huntington would not say exactly why the Pirates had a change of heart regarding the Spikes.
"I don't know," Greenberg said. "That's for the Pirates to answer. But to suggest that in any way it was affected by Jason's comments many months ago is flat out untrue, because as recently as two weeks ago the Pirates were offering us a four-year deal."
Greenberg and Coonelly had spoken about having better communication between the Spikes and Pirates and also closer marketing ties. The Spikes, Greenberg added, sought more symmetry in the working relationship.
The Spikes were prepared to sign for two years "unconditionally," Greenberg said, but the Pirates declined.
An industry source told the Mirror on Monday that Jamestown, N.Y. will be the Bucs' new affiliate in the New York-Penn League.
"We're really pleased about where we're going to end up," Huntington said.
It's also possible, sources have said, that at some point the Pirates could relocate that franchise to a new ballpark that potentially could be built in Morgantown, W.Va.
As for the Spikes, they are thrilled to once again be affiliated with the Cardinals.
"It's a real honor when the defending world champions, who created the modern player-development system and with whom we already had a great relationship with back from 2006 in State College, called to say how much they wanted to be affiliated with us," Greenberg said.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Signal Genetics acquired the U.S. CLIA service laboratory of DiagnoCure and a worldwide exclusive license to its Previstage™ GCC Colorectal Cancer Staging Test as part of a five-year, $13.3 million collaboration agreement executed Tuesday.
The two transactions account for $10.8 million over five years. Signal will pay DiagnoCure $5.7 million up front for the laboratory, as well as a minimum $5.1 million in annual installments and royalty payments over the first five years of the license agreement.
Signal will also pay DiagnoCure $2.5 million under an R&D agreement to advance the development of certain genomic tests for personalized medicine being developed in its Quebec City laboratories. All payments will be made in cash.
"The R&D agreement provides Signal and its affiliates access to DiagnoCure's extensive experience in developing personalized genomic tests in oncology that are complementary technologies to the company's pipeline," Signal CEO Joe Hernandez stated.
Through a new subsidiary, CC Health LLC, Signal plans to expand its sales force and marketing partnerships to sell Previstage GCC, Hernandez says, adding that his company considers the colorectal cancer staging test to have an estimated global market potential of more than $400 million. Further commercializing Previstage GCC was among goals of the collaboration agreement with DiagnoCure.
"The new inflow of funds, added to the growing revenues generated by the sale of the PCA3 prostate cancer test, will strengthen DiagnoCure's financial base and allow us to build on our core expertise in developing clinically relevant and robust genomic tests in cancer, in particular lung cancer," states Yves Fradet, M.D., DiagnoCure's president and chief medical officer.
According to DiagnoCure, Previstage GCC is the only colorectal cancer staging test on the market that provides prognostic information based on the tumor burden measured at the molecular level in the lymph nodes.

Coast Guard ends search for man missing in NorCal
Friends of 22-year-old man called for help Sunday
The U.S. Coast Guard has called off its search for a man who went missing in the waters south of San Francisco after he headed into the surf for a quick swim.
Officer Mark Leahey says friends of the 22-year-old man called for help Sunday afternoon after he disappeared following a game of football on Roosevelt Beach near Pillar Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay.
The Coast Guard dispatched a helicopter and a rescue boat crew to join crews from the San Mateo County Sheriff's Department and Pillar Point Harbormaster.
Leahey says crews conducted an extensive search, but found no signs of the man.
He says the search was called off at 7:50pm Sunday. The man's identity has not been released, pending notification of his family.

Another week in the NFL means another week spent staring at the injury report for your favorite team or a team that possesses one of your fantasy players.
For fans, all that matters is a team win, and a squad at full strength has a better chance of notching a victory.
For fantasy owners, they need to make sure one of their players isn't injured in order to avoid getting a devastating bagel. Such a scenario will stack the deck in an opponent's favor, so having a solid bench or making good waiver-wire moves quickly can help prevent that.
Not to mention, with four teams having a bye in Week 5, a single injury could lead to even worse depletion of a roster than already may be the case.
A guy like cornerback Champ Bailey of the Denver Broncos will be someone to watch this week. He has yet to play a game this season and is listed as questionable (foot), per ESPN.com. He is the type of impact player that the Broncos—or any team—could use to give the defense a boost.
Bailey is just one of many key players who are injured and will be focused on this week.
Not only will we give you updates before and during games for all key players who are injured, but we will also share fantasy analysis and possible replacements in the event that one of your players is unable to take the field on Sunday.
Keep it right here for all the latest on Week 5 injuries.

A 6-year-old boy, Henry Perez-Rocha, has died nearly three months after he was hit by a driver suspected of driving under the influence.
The boy was walking to school with his brother at the time.
The Sacramento County coroner said Henry died Wednesday.
A woman is accused of hitting the boys, who were walking to a school in Citrus Heights on Oct. 5, 2012.
Juan Perez-Rocha, the victim's brother, was released from the UC Davis Medical Center in October, but his younger brother remained there and had been in a coma since the time of the crash, his family said in October.
Tresa Bales-Sterba appeared in court in October on DUI charges and accused of driving on a suspended license.

K9 S1E6 Fear Itself [SPOILERS]
Another improvement in the storytelling of the series so far, in my opinion. A wardrobe (like the one leading to Narnia, or the TARDIS) is causing people's fears to rise to the forefront. A lot of great character development for the protagonists and antagonists in this script. Even K9 gets to grow some.

Tsa'tsas (pron. za-zas) are traditional relief images of Buddhist deities and are used in Tibetan Buddhist meditation practice. They are sacred objects because they represent the various forms of the Buddha. Looking upon a tsa'tsa is thought to purify the mind, remove obstacles and bestow merit. Tsa'tsas may also be given to those who are ill and dedicated to the deceased.
The Buddha Vajrasattva is invoked to purify negative karma and to repair broken vows. In the preliminary practices (ngondro) of Tibetan Buddhism, Vajrasattva's 100 Syllable Mantra is recited 100,000 times.
The Buddha Vajrasattva tsa'tsa statue is handcrafted of durable resin and finished with a warm cream colored glaze that resembles antique ivory. Made in the USA.

April 3, 1928 – March 4, 2013
Laurence E. "Larry" Erb, of East Aurora, a business owner and founder of the Buffalo Ski Club, died Monday in Mercy Hospital from heart complications. He was 84.
Born in Buffalo, he started his career in business with a newspaper route in South Buffalo.
He left West Seneca to serve in the Coast Guard in 1945 and was stationed at two lighthouses on Long Island during the final days of World War II.
Returning from service, he joined the family business, George Erb & Co. in South Buffalo, which was founded by his grandfather.
He became president following the death of his father in 1949 and transformed Erb Co. Inc. into a wholesaler of plumbing and heating supplies.
He turned over presidency of the company 15 years ago to his son Allen but continued to work there until recently.
Mr. Erb built and operated the Econolodge motel and the adjacent restaurant, the Homestead Eating Establishment, on Milestrip Road in Blasdell.
He also was a part-time pilot for 15 years for Buffalo Aeronautic Corp. and owned his own airplane.
His passion for skiing led him to establish the Sitzmarker Ski Club, more familiarly known as the Buffalo Ski Club, next to Tamarack ski area in the Boston hills. He served as president and treasurer for many years.
He also enjoyed organic gardening and winemaking.
Surviving are his wife of 61 years, the former Shirley G. Allen; three daughters, Laurie Perry, Jolie McShane and Danielle Webb; two sons, Michael and Allen; and a sister, Phyllis Banas.
A memorial service will be at 1 p.m. Friday in Baker Memorial United Methodist Church, 345 Main St., East Aurora.

Dear All,
We have a Web Dynpro Java application (CE 7.1 SP11), where we have internationalization (defined using xlf) which is working fine (for EN and DE language) when we pass a URL parameter sap-locale (sap-locale=EN or sap-locale=DE) in Web dynpro application url.
Now, when the application is loaded with English language, we have button in Web dynpro view (button "Change Language"), on click of the Button it has to load in German (DE) language.
Please suggest how we can achiev this.
Thanks and regards,
1. I assume you load your text when application starts ie. in wdDoInit().
2. If this is the case, you can put the same code in an action bound to your button, only this time
use the other language xlf you need to switch to.
yuval peery
Jun, I have just tested it and it works great.
1. Bind your textView to context attribute
2.In wdDoInit(). fill the context with values stored in the message pool
3. When button clicked, re-bind the context to language-specific message stored at the pool.
i think you are in wrong direction.
user code don't touch i18n, it is handled by web dynpro framework.
Hi Jun
Basically you're right. Language is taken from the web browser... Unless you override it in your code
Let me give you an example: my web browser language is set to Hebrew.
In my app. I decided that when loaded the text will be shown is English ("Good Morning"), which it does.
When I press the button, I load a new message from the message pool, this time the text is in German and it says "Guten Morgen". The new text in German shows on the screen.
yuval peery
1. language is not just determined by browser, there are many cases, url locale, user profile jvm.... and this is not the point concerning the question raised in the first post.
2. if there are hundreds UI element to be internationalized, i guess you won't go with your customized code......
Hi Jun
1. You are right.
2. The customization code I suggested is not a pefect solution, I agree, but it works. It depends
on the size of the application, of course.
3. And yet as you know :
OSS Answer : SAP Note #947081
"WebDynpro Java has a known limitation also described in the SAP Note #947081 (Point 9. Change of locale in Web Dynpro iView).
The Limitation is,
There is one locale assigned per login (user) session. This is done for the first Web Dynpro Java application or Web Dynpro Java iView started in the login session. After detecting the locale, this locale is assigned to the login session and all Web Dynpro applications and all Web Dynpro iViews are started in the same login session. The reason why it has to be this way is that Web Dynpro uses backend connection caches which are associated to the login session and they are locale sensitive"
for point 3, that's why i wrote "web dynpro won't work in that way(if you go with standard i18n)" in my first reply.
you cannot change the language by button click.
i think in most case, customized i18n is not an option,
please close discussion

"The role that I'm so proud of, and there have been many ... is the role of father," an emotional Catherine Zeta-Jones told an audience in New York gathered to see her husband accept the 2010 Chaplin Award from the Film Society of Lincoln Center.
"He has shown our children a love, a commitment, to the three of them ... Cameron, Dylan and Carys," said Zeta-Jones, 40. "And he has love for them that is extraordinary."
Difficult TimePrivately, Douglas, 65, told PEOPLE that the family is doing well after a difficult time that saw Cameron, 31, sentenced to five years in prison on drug charges. "God bless my son," he said. "I think he's in a safe place. He'll be there for a while. And [he'll] start a new life."
Douglas's father Kirk, 93, presented his son with the award in front of friends and colleagues including Danny DeVito, Tobey Maguire, Erika Christensen, Barbara Walters (on tape, as she recuperates from heart-valve surgery), Brian Williams and Brooke Shields.
"I think it's great that he's being honored for his work, but he's a really amazing man," Shields told PEOPLE. "As a dad and as a husband, that's the part that makes you fall in love with him."
DeVito JokesAs the celebration evolved into a roast, DeVito told a story of how Douglas, on location in Mexico for Jewel of the Nile, once held a snake and danced – and got bit on the forearm. Had he been hit below the belt, "you'd be a dead man now!" DeVito wisecracked.
Douglas later returned the favor, saying he was impressed to see DeVito "standing ... after 12 limoncellos."

Following a cheating scandal that played out in the media, Kristen Stewart is quoted talking about life in the Hollywood spotlight.
The October issue of British Vogue (available Sept. 10) features an interview with the star, though it's not known whether it took place before or after her tryst with married director Rupert Sanders was revealed.
The actress, who will soon attend the Toronto Film Festival to promote the upcoming film On the Road, is, however, candid about her public persona.
"I know if you haven't thought about how you want to present a very packaged idea of yourself, it can seem like you lack ambition," the 22-year-old actress says of how she's often perceived.
"But, dude, honestly? I can't. People expect it to be easy because there you are, out there, doing the thing you want and making lots of money out of it."
"But, you know, I'm not that smooth. I can get clumsy around certain people. Like if I were to sit down and think, 'Okay, I'm really famous, how am I going to conduct myself in public?' I wouldn't know who that person would be!" she continues. "It would be a lot easier if I could, but I can't."
Appearing on the magazine's cover in a Gucci dress, Stewart's glamorous look is a far cry from Marylou, the character she plays in the film adaptation of Jack Kerouac's largely autobiographical novel.
"The world back then, it just seems freer to me than anything I could ever touch and I'm fully nostalgic for it, even though I wasn't alive then," she says of the beat generation.
"It's the loyalty aspect of it all. I love being on the periphery with a group of people who have the same values that I do," she says. "People who don't get off on fame, who just like the process of making movies and thrive."

Matthew Mead/Associated Press
Stir-fry and salsa aren�t traditional companions on the plate, but that doesn�t mean there can�t be a little common ground.
As a wok-cooking teacher, I�m constantly looking for new ways to use my wok, including with cuisines other than Asian. And it turns out the Hispanic world has a wealth of ingredients and classic recipes perfectly suited to this cooking style.
Though I grew up in Hong Kong � where I watched local cooks use huge cast-iron woks to prepare classic street foods such as choutofu (stinky tofu), stuffed peppers, curried octopus and roasted chestnuts � I now live in Miami, a city rich with Cuban culture. I�ve noticed many similarities in cooking techniques, ingredients and seasonings between the cultures.
Cuban-style paella, for example, is similar to Asian fried rice. Even the paella pan resembles a wok.
Look more broadly across Hispanic cuisines and examples are plentiful. Churros and Chinese crullers are both crispy deep-fried dough sticks. Fillings for quesadillas, fajitas and tacos are basically stir-fried beef, chicken or pork.
In Peru, which has a sizeable population of Chinese immigrants, there is even an Asian-Peruvian fusion dish known as chifa, a mash-up of the term �chow fan,� which refers to Chinese fried rice. Chifa � basically fried rice with native Peruvian ingredients, often leftovers, and soy sauce � has become an integral part of Peruvian cuisine.
One of the most common ways to cook in a wok is to do so briefly at very high heat. This is why ingredients often are cooked in batches according to how long they should take. For example, vegetables go in until just tender, but still lightly crisp, then are removed from the pan. Next, the meat is cooked until nicely seared, then everything is combined.
This same approach works with Hispanic ingredients. It can be as simple as stir-frying some onion, peppers and other vegetables, then setting those aside. Add some thinly sliced beef, pork or chicken with Hispanic seasonings and cook that. When the meat is ready, combine everything and use as a filling for tacos.
But woks can do more than stir-fry, and that versatility is what makes them so useful for other cuisines. Because of their shape and wide opening, woks are great for deep frying, steaming, stewing, toasting spices and nuts, even baking.
For example, a wok can fry up churros as easily as wonton-wrapped dumplings or spring rolls. It also can be used to fry plantains.
And in both cases, the attachable wire rack that clips to the side of the wok is excellent for draining excess oil from the fried foods.
Don�t have a paella pan? Use a large wok. It also does a fine job with arroz con pollo � brown the chicken, cook the sofrito and tomato sauce, then add the rice and other ingredients. I�ve even made tortilla omelets in my wok. Start by stir-frying the vegetables in the wok, then add the mixture of egg and cheese. Set the entire thing in the oven (set on a wok ring) and bake.

AICPA News Update
A Weekly Email Newsletter on Issues & Events Surrounding the CPA Profession
October 07, 2011 - Volume 14 No. 42
On October 4, the Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF) released its proposal addressing the Blue Ribbon Panel on Standard Setting for Private Companies' recommendations. The Blue Ribbon Panel's major recommendations included the creation of an independent standard-setting board to modify GAAP for private company financial reporting. FAF instead recommended a council whose decisions are subject to ratification by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. AICPA President and CEO Barry Melancon, CPA, and AICPA Chairman of the Board of Directors Paul Stahlin, CPA, released a statement expressing disappointment with FAF's proposal. Future issues of AICPA News Update will report on information and resources to help you understand FAF's proposal and offer you the opportunity to easily and quickly send a comment letter to FAF using an online tool.
The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, the AICPA and the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants recently released a comprehensive international research report underlining the growing emphasis small and medium-sized enterprises are placing on sustainable business practices as they become increasingly crucial to business performance. The report, SMEs Set Their Sights on Sustainability: Case Studies from the U.K., U.S. and Canada, uses concrete examples to show how smaller companies can lead the market and become champions of sustainable practice. It also reveals how the finance function can play a central role in this process. Read the report for more information.
In this blog post, Melissa Labant, JD, CPA/PFS, Technical Manager at the AICPA, contends that the Making Work Pay credit didn't affect everyone equally and that some taxpayers received too little or too much credit. The method of applying the credit for 2011 was fixed by changing the withholding to 4.2% in Social Security tax instead of the traditional 6.2%. However, the question remains if taxpayers were able to realize the credit spread out over the year. The question becomes important as Congress considers extending the credit at a lower rate (3.1%). Learn more about the Making Work Pay credit on AICPA Insights.

The AICPA and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants will soon launch the new Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) credential. The CGMA will elevate the field of management accounting on a global scale and showcase the specialized skillsets of those who are helping organizations achieve sustainable business success. On October 13, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. Eastern, Carol Scott, CPA, MBA, AICPA vice president of business, industry and government, will host a free webcast, The Future of Management Accounting: Understanding the New CGMA Credential, and discuss what this new global credential means for both members and the accounting profession. CPE will not be offered for this webcast.

Altoona Area Superintendent Dennis Murray has retained an attorney in response to inquiries that school board President Ryan Beers has made regarding administrative staff salary increases that he suspects might have been given without board approval.
Murray said Monday that he wants "vindication - or at least to get my story out."
Murray has been recovering from shoulder surgery, but said, "I have to begin to make a response at some point."
The longtime superintendent is being represented by Pittsburgh attorney Efrem Grail of Reed Smith LLP. Through a letter including a demand of indemnity sent to district solicitor Dave Andrews, Grail has demanded that the district pay for Murray's legal fees.
The board would be responsible for Murray's legal fees, Andrews said, only if written charges were filed against Murray and those charges are found to be without merit.
"It is not our position that the district is liable for attorney fees at this point in time for his consultation," Andrews said.
Murray's contract states that the board must provide Murray with written charges if it seeks to fire him for a violation of board directives or school code.
"If found innocent of charges made, the district shall assume responsibility for payment of costs incurred by him in his defense," the contract states.
Beers would not comment on whether the board is considering filing charges. He said he is awaiting the results of Andrews' non-criminal investigation of salary increases to administrative employees that totaled tens of thousands of dollars. Beers said, "We will decide the ramifications after that."
During the school board's Jan. 22 meeting, Beers told fellow board members that he was unable to find board approval for some raises dating back to 2007 that exceeded contracted amounts for several administrative staff members. Under the Sunshine Law, all raises must be approved at public board meetings.
As directed by the school board, Andrews began an investigation of district employee raises based on Beers' inquiries.
Andrews declined to say anything about the investigation, "particularly because we have not spoken with Dr. Murray," he said.
Murray is recovering from shoulder surgery and has not been at work since Jan. 24.
Assistant Superintendent Mary Lou Ray has been appointed by the board to serve as acting superintendent in Murray's absence.
"We have to give opportunity for Dr. Murray to give his side of the story," Andrews said. "We have to wait for when his counsel would say he's available, medically speaking."
Grail declined to comment about any aspect of his representation.
Beers said he has not been updated by Andrews.
"I'm kind of waiting to hear from Andrews on this for his results," Beers said.
Beers has not reached out to Murray, and Murray has not attempted to contact Beers, he said.
"I've not been in any contact with him," Beers said. "I've been advised [by Andrews] not to reach out because of the investigation."

Australia's Food and Wine
Experience the freedom and creativity of Australia's food and wine culture that helps us produce fresh and innovative flavours and wines that are the envy of the world.
Australia's unspoilt landscapes produce an incredibly wide variety of fresh and tantalising produce. There's also a freedom and creativity to our food and wine culture that helps us produce fresh and innovative flavours, including wines that are the envy of the world, as well as exciting ingredients and 'fusion' food. But what really sets us apart is the place - our stunning weather, sunshine, outstanding natural beauty and outdoor dining lifestyle means you can enjoy some of the world's best food and wine in some of the world's most stunning surroundings. Australia does open air dining like nowhere else.
Restaurants and cafés
The Best Cafés in Australia
Australians have become so obsessed with coffee that it's hard to remember Australia was once a nation of committed tea drinkers. And while tea has hardly been relegated to the sidelines – there are tearooms and teashops in every capital city in the country – coffee is now the conversation. Where it's from, how it's roasted, who's doing the roasting: these are issues of vital importance to discriminating coffee connoisseurs. Yet the café culture that has sprung up around this coffee bean obsession is about much more than a brew, with quality food an equally crucial ingredient in encouraging punters back. Here are some of the best cafés the country has to offer.Add to your dream trip
Contemporary Bush Tucker in Australian Restaurants
Native ingredients, are experiencing a revival. Embraced by the country's leading chefs, they are transcending "bush tucker" status and being subtly integrated into contemporary restaurant menus. The shift has been especially noticeable in the past five years; it is part of the global trend to celebrate localism in food. The Australian chefs using indigenous ingredients most successfully are notable for their skill and restraint in incorporating them in dishes with flavours and techniques more usually associated with Europe or Asia. Such chefs are highlighting indigenous ingredients not just because they offer a point of difference, but because they taste so good.Add to your dream trip
Best Restaurants for Uniquely Australian Food
Some of the newest ingredients landing on plates at Australian restaurant tables are thousands of years old, as Australian chefs turn to their own backyard for inspiration. That backyard, mind you, stretches over 6.5 million square kilometres (2.5 million square miles), so they have a bit of ground to cover. As Australian Aboriginals have known for 40,000 years, this vast, dry country is home to countless wild, native plants, herbs, nuts, seeds and berries across the six climatic seasons recognised in Aboriginal culture. Visitors to Australia can now sample the results of this inspiration on tables that range from the finest restaurant in the land to an outback country pub. Here are just a few.Add to your dream trip

Australia's best young chefs to watch
Australia is a country of travellers, people who have been constantly looking abroad for inspiration. But things are changing. We've begun to reflect and look inward. Chefs are spending more time referencing what's around them, rediscovering native Australian products and executing dishes with skill, sensitivity and finesse. Australia's rising stars may still look to Spain, France, America and Italy for inspiration but there's no need to slavishly copy what they do anymore. They have found their voice, and it's funky, smoky, pickled and grilled. Here are some leading lights of Australia's new kitchen brigade.Add to your dream trip

The public was invited to participate in a panel discussion Sept. 19, 2013 about the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) passed in 2010. Attendees learned about the impacts that the ACA is having on how health care will be delivered beginning next year.
The panel discussion—entitled "Affordable Care Act: Triumphs, Challenges, and the Local Response"—which was held on Thursday, September 19, 2013 in the Donald R. Wright Auditorium at the Pasadena Central Library. Dr. Eric Walsh, Director of the Pasadena Public Health Department and the City's Health Officer, provided important background information about health care reform, challenges that the law creates and what is happening in Pasadena to help the law work best for residents. He was joined by Steven Abramson, Marketing Manager of CHAPCare, who will discuss Medi-Cal Expansion and the State Marketplace Exchange (Covered California); and Mary Donnelly-Crocker, Executive Director of Young & Healthy, who reviewed available community resources and assistance to implement health reform in Pasadena, and identified options for those who will not qualify for insurance.
KPAS, the City's government cable access TV station, recorded the event for broadcast on KPAS, seen on Channel 3 for Cox subscribers and Channel 99 for AT&T U-Verse subscribers. The program is also streamed on the "media" page of the City's website, www.cityofpasadena.net/media, and on the KPAS website at www.pasadenamedia.tv/kpas.

How do I get a new stop sign or traffic signal installed?"
Stop signs are only placed where there is a need to assign right-of-way. Stop signs are not used to control speeding. All installations of stop signs (and all traffic control devices) must comply with the federal Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices and the Connecticut Office of the State Traffic Administration.
Requests for new stop signs or traffic signals should be directed to Councilpersons. Council will refer the request to the Public Safety Committee. Public Safety refers the issue to Public Works for review, who will then make a recommendation back to the Public Safety Committee.
How can I prevent vehicles from speeding on my street?"
All speeding concerns should be directed to the Meriden Police Department at 203-238-1911. They can conduct targeted enforcement or place speed trailers.
A sign is faded, broken, or missing, or a traffic signal indication bulb is out. How do I get these replaced?"
Contact Traffic and Fire Alarm Division at 203-630-4253.
How do I report a street light that is out?"
Contact Connecticut Light and Power through their web site (www.cl-p.com)

|ALS Chemistry Lab
The ALS Chemistry Labs are located in the User Support Building (15-130) and in Building 6 (6-2233)*. These spaces are dedicated for chemistry work that involves higher quantities, higher toxicity or reactivity, and/or more complex work activity than is allowed on the ALS experiment floor. In addition, the great majority of hazardous chemicals at the ALS are stored in these facilities.
Standard chemical safety engineering, administrative and PPE controls are employed in these labs, including a thorough work review of all proposed activities there.
*While most work will be done in the new Lab in the USB (15-130), space will remain reserved in the old room (6-2233).
ALS Chemistry Laboratory Manager
Doug Taube
How To Gain Access to the ALS Chemistry Labs
Work Review and Authorization
The level of review is dependent upon the complexity and risk of the activity.
If you think that you will need access to one of the Chemistry Labs during your experiment run, please contact the laboratory manager 1-2 weeks beforehand. This will help assure that the proper space and equipment are available. Depending upon the complexity and risk of the work, scheduling restrictions may be placed including requiring the work to be done during the day, with two people, and/or with direct safety personnel oversight.
An important part of the work review process will be to identify any possible hazardous waste streams that may be generated. Due to very strict regulatory oversight, it is important to correctly identify, store, and label all such materials. The Lab Manager will work very closely with you on this.

AG finds numerous noncompliance issues with Allentown School District
The state's auditor general says Allentown School District is not complying with many state education requirements.
The 29-page report says the school district failed to maintain the documentation required for its State Transportation Subsidy. Allentown receives close to $2 million a year for transportation.
Allentown also failed to verify all bus driver qualifications, the report says. It says records were inaccurate for nine drivers.
The district failed to report its total population, the report says. Without reporting its total membership number, the District lost out on close to $50,000 of state funding.
Allentown also failed to stay up-to-date with its monitoring of teacher certifications. It's lack of proper records resulted in three teachers with a lapse in their certification, the report says.
Allentown School District says it's working to fix the issues.
"The Allentown School District has instituted multiple-level checks and protocols to prevent these issues from recurring. The district noted the issues prior to the audit recommendations and implemented systems immediately. We value the oversight provided by the Auditor General's Office to make certain that we are meeting compliance requirements. The District has taken this performance audit seriously and we remain steadfast to ensure that we prevent future concerns," said Dr. Jack Clark, Allentown School District's Chief Financial Officer.
The district had improve its reporting of health services which was recommendation of the last audit the state performed on the district back in 2010, the report said. It also altered the superintendent's employment contract, as the state requested.
The audit covered the period of August 3, 2010 through May 17, 2013.

What's your favorite news hub for free software news?
Pretty straightforward
Okay. This should be easy... What's your favourite? Feel free to suck up :) . We don't mind we are definitely biased on this one. If your favourite hub isn't listed and you choose "Other", don't forget to let us know in the comments. And please let us know why you've voted the way you have too.
FSDaily, for now. I'd like some more discussion, but that's not FSDaily's fault (it's the users' fault). Newsvine.com is probably my favorite news hub, but it doesn't have a huge fs section.
Andrew Min
I enjoy
I enjoy http://debianlinux.net/planet/ for reading Planet blogs too.
What choice do we have :o)
"Feel free to suck up"? - not much choice there really. None of the others (that I am aware of) are exclusively Free Software news sites and thus FSD wins by default.
Okay, okay it is also very good as well.
How's that for sucking up? :o)
Yeah that's the spirit
Not Free Software?
Excuse me, LXer isn't about Free Software? I beg to differ. LXer is my favorite by far. Then again, I am biased because I am a contributing editor over there :-)
I did say exclusively
I did say "exclusively free software". LXer by it's own strap line is about
"GNU/Linux and Free/Open Source Software".
Okay so it is about Linux but I was referring to the fact that FSDaily is the only one that is (supposed to be) about free software alone. Not open source and not just GNU/Linux (but of course it features heavily.
I like LXer (really) but my point was that the poll is a little loaded.
i love free software
i love free software magazine
Thanks. You really are getting in the spirit. :)
not very unbiased :)
Not that polls matter very much but it is not very unbiased if the site you're reading is one of the options that can be voted... :)
being a pedant
[pedant mode]
It's not. FSDaily may be run by the same people but it's not the same site.
Well I dont know about voting, but LXer is by far my favorite.
Missing sites and one bad one
I'm sorry by fsdaily has to be one of the WORST sites for news. News is news... and shouldn't be buried by opinion.... go to digg for that.
I guess all of the highly opinionated people from fsdaily are voting it up here... sigh. We live in a society where truth has been exchanged for whatever we think should be truth.
Maybe freesoftwaremagazine should be here instead??
Meaningless poll so far...
Definitely LXer!
Definitely LXer!

Well, it's just about over now. Heavy sigh.
Relax. I'm not worried about any misinterpreted Mayan calendar silliness. I'll see you on the 22nd.
I speak, my friends, of the ever-coveted and cherished family fun time. I know the path encircling Patty Logic doesn't always follow a very conventional trajectory, now does it? Please try to hang in there with me.
The way I see it, summer is the pinnacle of family time. Everyone is in relaxation / vacation mode for pretty much three months, even if you never step foot outside of the city of Warren. Sun equals fun, just across the board during June, July and August. It is the zenith of contentment for those of us who are traditional, kin-lovin', sitting-down-together-at-the-picnic table folks. Yep, sweet summertime - it's da bomb.
Except, of course, for right now the time for which most of us yearn the whole year long: the holiday season. It is arguably the most family-oriented time of the year, and some might say, the "funnest."
Hard to dispute that the holidays - no matter which ones you celebrate - are about anything but sharing love and joy with family and friends. The food, the fellowship, the mad-dashes back home from remote locales, the twinkling lights, the parties on Tuesday nights - did I already mention the food? - and the goodwill toward men. Well, heck, it very well could just be the apex of good old fashioned get-togetherness.
Which isn't to say that autumn, even with its slaying of the summer solstice, doesn't also claim some very family-centered commotion of its own including but not limited to: football games, bonfires, trick-or-treating and leaf-raking / jumping endeavors.
But January through April in northeast Ohio? Blah.
As in, the blahs of winter. The crushing cold, the rush of the daily grind, the schlepping back-and-forth to practices in parkas, the 14 minutes of daylight per day. Sort of shoots a spear right through family fun-ability. Everyone's so frigid and grumpy and ready for bed by 6:45 p.m. that no one is motivated to hook up the slip-n-slide in the bathroom and pretend it's a warm summer's day, you know?
Post-Christmas winter time is, as they say, a bummer. Except for those families who know the secret. Luckily, we discovered it just recently. Want in on it? OK, all right, put the icicle down, dude, I'll tell you already Kalahari.
Kalahari is an indoor waterpark in Sandusky (heck, there's one in Wisconsin, too, if you want to drive to someplace even colder than here). But the secret is this: it's more than a mere waterpark - it's a time machine. Because as soon as you step into the self-proclaimed biggest indoor waterpark in the country (and I believe them), it's like you are transported back to July.
To begin with, there's a huge transparent roof that permits sunshine to permeate the entire 12,000 square feet with natural light and warmth - even when it's four below outside.
To summer-lovers like moi, that's worth the price of admission right there. I'm not kidding - it is sweltering in that place even on Groundhog Day. I have the photos of my frizzed-out hair to prove it. My mane tends to puff out like a parachute whenever there's the slightest moisture in the air. Seriously, I accidentally knocked a little boy over who was in line a football field away from me just by turning sideways in the humidity.
I digress.
Whether it's the Zip Coaster, the Swahili Swirl, the Ripping Rhino or Victoria Hill raft rides - it's a thrill seeker's paradise. For those of us who do not prefer water rides, there is the nice, slow Lazy River ride plus a couple of indoor / outdoor Jacuzzi spas.
But the real point is this: Kerry and Kyle had a ball on said crazy rides and I basked in the sun - just like we would if it were summer. Not to mention that I sat huddled in a corner saying the rosary while Kyle tried his hand at surfing on the Flowrider - just like I would in the summer. Or any other time. More digression.
Whether we were grabbing coffee and snacks at the Candy Hut, checking out Madagascar Mini Golf or being led by Kyle kicking and screaming into the arcade - we were having a blast, just the three of us. Laughing and playing and enjoying a day.
So, see? No need to worry that cold, gray days mean no more fun times with your family. Sunshine's just a car ride away this winter. Surf's up, dude!

The New Criterion in an unsigned editorial:
Charles Krauthammer caused grave unhappiness among some of his admirers last month when, speaking on Fox News, he attacked the Dutch politician Geert Wilders. At issue was Wilders's campaign against the "Islamization" of Europe, particularly in the Netherlands. "What he says," Dr. Krauthammer charged, "is extreme, radical, and wrong":
He basically is arguing that Islam is the same as Islamism. Islamism is an ideology of a small minority which holds that the essence of Islam is jihad, conquest, forcing people into accepting a certain very narrow interpretation [of Islam].
Dr. Krauthammer's was not the only voice on Fox News condemning Wilders last month. Glenn Beck hauled out the "F-word," describing Wilders as "fascist," while William Kristol, the editor of The Weekly Standard, warned that Wilders was a "demagogue."
So: Geert Wilders is a fascist demagogue who is extreme, radical, and (what's more) wrong. Strong words. Are they justified?
A little background. As we write, Wilders, the founder and head of the Dutch Party for Freedom, is being prosecuted by the Dutch government for "hate speech," "discrimination," and similar outrages against political correctness. (He has also been indicted by Jordan for "inciting hatred.") If he loses in Holland, he could face a two-year jail sentence. In the meantime, he lives with round-the-clock security in the face of numerous death threats. This is, remember, the country where the filmmaker Theo van Gogh was brutally murdered by jihadists in broad daylight.
What is the exact nature of Wilders's tort? Well, in 2008 he wrote and sponsored a short film called Fitna, which juxtaposes verses from the Koran with contemporary images of violence perpetrated in the name of Islam. In its opening minutes, for example, the film flashes the text of Sura 8, Verse 60: "Prepare for them [i.e., for us] whatever force and cavalry ye are capable of gathering to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies." The cavalry in question was United Airlines Flight 175, which is shown plowing into the South Tower of the World Trade Center as crowds of terrified people scramble to escape the carnage. Other verses are accompanied by images of Islamic violence against Jews, women, and apostates from Islam ("seize them and kill them wherever ye may find them," Sura 4, Verse 89).
Wilders has also been vocal in his opposition to Islamic immigration and the institutionalization of Islamic law (Sharia) in the Netherlands. At the same time, he has campaigned vigorously for free speech, especially the freedom to criticize ideologies whose spread would stifle freedom. The New York Times sniffed that Wilders's demand for free speech was a "bit rich" since he has also called for restrictions on the circulation of the Koran. A contradiction? Not necessarily. In the first place, defending free speech includes guarding against those who would deploy free speech only in order to abolish it. ("There is," said Chesterton, "a thought that stops thought. That is the only thought that ought to be stopped.") Secondly, as Wilders has explained, his call to restrict the circulation of the Koran mirrors the official Dutch restrictions on Mein Kampf, the sale of which is illegal in Holland. The whole idea of "banning" books is anathema to most Americans. But Wilders's point is that if Hitler's incitement to hatred is restricted in Holland (as it is in some other parts of Europe), why not the Koran?
Two points about Dr. Krauthammer's charge that Wilders fails to distinguish between "Islam" (the faith of 1.4 billion to which we are not supposed to object) and "Islamism" (the bad or perverted form of Islam to which only "a minority" subscribes). First, it is worth stressing that Wilders has repeatedly acknowledged that most Muslims are peaceful. Speaking in London recently, for example, he noted that
The majority of Muslims are law-abiding citizens and want to live a peaceful life as you and I do. I know that. That is why I always make a clear distinction between the people, the Muslims, and the ideology, between Islam and Muslims. There are many moderate Muslims, but there is no such thing as a moderate Islam.
Is Wilders right? If so (and this is our second point), then we have to question whether Dr. Krauthammer's contrast between "Islam" and "Islamism" is the relevant distinction. Andrew C. McCarthy got to the nub of the issue last month in a column for National Review Online. "Personally," Mr. McCarthy wrote, "I don't think there is much difference, if any, between Islam and Islamism."
Islamists are Muslims who would like to see sharia (Islamic law) installed. That is the necessary precondition to Islamicizing a society. It is the purpose of jihad. The terrorists are willing to force sharia's installation by violent jihad; other Islamists have varying views about the usefulness of violence, but they also want sharia, and their jihadist methods include tactics other than violence. I reluctantly use the term "Islamist" rather than "Islam" because I believe there are hundreds of millions of Muslims … who do not want to live under sharia, and who want religion to be a private matter, separated from public life. It is baffling to me why these people are Muslims since, as I understand Islam, (a) sharia is a basic element, and (b) Islam rejects the separation of mosque and state. But I'm not a Muslim, so that is not for me to say. I think we have to encourage the non-sharia Muslims and give them space to try to reform their religion, so I believe it's worth labeling the sharia seekers "Islamists" in order to sort them out. But I admit being very conflicted about it because I also concede that the Islamists have the more coherent (and scary) construction of Islam. We wouldn't be encouraging reform if we really thought Islam was fine as is.
Indeed. And given Wilders's experience, it's easy to sympathize with Mark Steyn's tart rejoinder to Charles Krauthammer:
Wilders does not need to be lectured condescendingly about distinctions within Islam, because he lives with them every day. And he has concluded, notwithstanding Dr. Krauthammer's views on the precise "minority" that identifies as "Islamist," that Islam itself is the issue—and that, therefore, regardless of the "moderation" of the "overwhelming majority" of Muslims, the more Islam the less Netherlands in any recognizable sense.
The point is that "Islamism" is a term that has been seized upon by anxious Westerners eager to cordon off the toxic appendage of Islamic ideology from the (we are assured) benign host. Both the anxiety and the eagerness are understandable. We saw them in operation in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 when President Bush stood astride the smoldering ruins of the World Trade Center and told the world that "Islam" meant "peace" (really, it means "submission" as in "submission to the will of Allah," but perhaps it would have been impolitic to point that out). At that time, policy makers had yet to settle on "Islamism" as a preferred linguistic repository for this political feint, but the President was appealing to the same vertiginous compact of nervousness, fear, good will, and hope...

The majority of Muslims in the UK want shariah law implemented in the UK.
Islam is the problem. If it were just a tiny minority of whackos committing violence there would be only security issues. But the real problem is that the majority of Muslims support the Islamization of Europe.

The Chevrolet
Volt has been a hot topic since its concept debut in January
2007, and it has certainly come a long way since then. General
Motors has been providing bits of news about the electric
vehicle over time to help EV buyers consider the Volt.
Chevrolet has released information regarding the cost of their Voltec
240V home charging station, which
is set at $490. Nissan
released figures awhile ago regarding their home charging
stations, which are set at $2,200 for the 220V including
$490 for the Voltec 240V home charging unit was set by SPX
Service Solutions, whom Chevrolet has an agreement with. SPX
Service Solutions is a national provider of home charging
installation equipment and services, and will be selling the Voltec
240V along with several other home charging stations.
notes that this is the most affordable 240V home charging system, and
will be beneficial to Volt drivers because it only takes four hours
to charge the electric battery from depleted to fully charged with a
240V station as opposed to the standard 120V charge cord, which takes
10 hours to complete the same task.
Chevrolet's Voltec 240V home charging system is priced at $490, the
installation of this system costs approximately $1,475. Though,
Chevrolet adds that this price varies upon electrical requirements.
vehicles have been a popular subject, and with the upcoming
release of EV pioneers like the Chevrolet Volt and the
Nissan Leaf, the interest and curiosity surrounding these vehicles
has heightened. Over time, we've watched and waited as both of these
EV heavyweights exposed their core features, such as the
Volt's 40 miles of electric-only propulsion (which was
recently revised
to 25-50 miles) with a gasoline engine providing an
additional 300 miles, and the Leaf's ability to travel 100 miles on a
single charge.
quote: Let's see, electric powered cars carry a hefty premium over gas powered cars. Some of the premium will be covered by Federal tax rebates (guess who pays that?) and the rest is extra cost to the buyer. An estimated 90 percent of the rare earth metals necessary to produce the car batteries is mined and controlled by mainland China (communists). China recently refused to sell these rare earth metals to Japan (but that couldn't effect us). Australia has the only other major rare earth supply, but mining must be developed and will take about four years and lots of cash. China has recently bought significant mining shares in Australia (coinidence?). Our current Federal Government makes policies which greatly limit our domestic oil exploration and production. Also, the Government has stopped all offshore drilling (cost about 20,000 jobs in Louisana alone). Roughly fourteen scarce drilling rigs have been sold to foreign governments including South American ones. Our Government has loaned billions of dollars to Brazil to help develop their off shore drilling in deep waters which we are forbidden to drill ourselves. To summarize for our limited thinking young folk, we have done about everything possible to limit our own domestic power and fuel production (no new oil refineries since about 1977). We must now seek over 40 percent of our domestic oil needs from other sources (one of which is Canada which is good). But most of the world's oil supply must come from countries openly hostile to democratic governments (you know the ones who elect their leaders). It now appears that much of the very expensive electric alternative will be controlled by Chinese communists.
