Designed for a local artist, the modest building acts as gate house to the primary residence located within the property just south of Collingwood. A broad selection of sustainable technologies, including a geothermal lake loop, set this project apart from others in the area.
The building itself draws inspiration from a number of intimate relationships and views, both through the adjacent woodland, down towards the winding creek, as well as across the nearby pond, which itself separates the coach house from the main house which is located to the south. As well, its orientation maximizes privacy relative to the driveway which sweeps by its side.
With the main house being located to the south of the coach house across a pond and through the trees, there is a distinct relationship between the two buildings which is unavoidable, and in fact very intentional. As a consequence of this, it seemed appropriate that there should be continuity between the two both from a massing standpoint as well as from a materialis standpoint. Thus, the coach house will embrace the Corten Steel, Pre-finished Cape Cod Wood Siding, as well as IPE decking that has been used on the main house.
Sustainability Features
- Program and Spatial Optimization
- Integration with the 'Natural Assets' of your Site and Terrain
- Site Specific View and Vista Optimization
- Passive Solar Heating
- Natural Ventilation and Passive Cooling
- Natural Daylighting
- High Performance Envelope Design
- Material Optimization and Modular Design
- Renewable Materials and Finishes
- Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and Non-toxic Materials and Finishes
- Advanced Geothermal Systems
- Radiant Heating
- Heat Recovery Ventilation
- Low Energy Lighting & Appliances
- Water Conserving Appliances & Fixtures
A whole host of other green strategies will be incorporated, including a low-impact horizontal lake loop geothermal heating system, deliberate solar orientation, low-flow plumbing fixtures, and locally sourced building materials.

Oh and since I think I saw it in a bundle somewhere a little while ago, I remember that Majesty 2 is also a really fun game. It's not too hard but the gameplay is quite unique. You build a town where you can hire heroes. You can't control the heroes directly, but only indirectly through putting bounties on something you want done (like slaying a monster or exploring an area). They will spend the loot they find in your shops for better armor, potions, etc. It's really quite enjoyable.
I LOVED Majesty 2 and put around 20 hours into it (a big contribution for me) but got massively stuck late on in the campaign. I had the choice of taking on either Region A or Region B, both stupidly hard, and just couldn't make any progress. I even YouTubed a few help videos to see where I was going wrong.
It's a really fun game but the difficulty ramped up too much for me to handle late on. But for a dollar or two (which I think is what it's going for in the Steam Trade thread) it's well worth it.
The cheesy Sean Connery ripoff voiceover man just makes it that little bit better.

The Sony
battery recalls continue as Sharp is joining the fray by recalling 28,000
batteries while Fujitsu has recalled an additional 51,000 batteries. Fujitsu
had already announced last week that it would recall 287,000 units.
These latest recalls bring the total tally to 7.7 million units.
Sony recently instituted the Global Replacement Program
for its batteries. The program is designed to help manufacturers with logistics
in receiving faulty batteries from customers and delivering new replacements.
Replacements for lithium-ion battery technology are in
development, but it may
be quite some time before see it replaced in the notebook market. Fuel cell
technology is showing some promise and Toshiba has been showing off fuel cell prototypes
in its notebooks. Toshiba has been able to see runtimes of about 10 hours with
its current fuel cell stacks, but there are still issues with size, pricing and
logistics in delivering fuel cells to customers.
quote: Let's hope Sony have enough pies then.
Sony needs to reclaim and maintain its high prestige image it had a few years ago
quote: Quitting LCD monitor business seems to be inline with the company's strategy to withdraw from highly-competitive businesses the company does not have obvious success in. For example, Sony has exited plasma panel television and is scrapping its Qualia lineup of luxury consumer electronics, as neither of the businesses brought the company profits and market shares it wanted.

In 2010, a little film called 'Four Lions' garnered some press for being controversial. The film was a comedy about terrorism.
Viewers wondered how that could be possible, but writer Christopher Morris made his feature directorial debut with the outrageous black comedy about a group of young Islamic Brits who fancy themselves bloodthirsty jihadis of the first order.
'Four Lions' Trailer
The film showcases Morris's satirical talents at their vicious best in a scathingly hilarious indictment of true believers and the social systems that create them.
The 'Four Lions' controversy certainly garnered attention. It went on to win the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature at the L.A. Film Festival.
'Four Lions' is a unique film that shows that as much as terrorism is about fear, it is also about idiocy.

Officer Barnes sure earns his money! In four hours, we had two 911 calls, attempted break-ins, traffic violations, fighting teenagers, and suspicious parked cars. This was all going on at the same time he was checking the backs of businesses with his searchlight, hitting all four boundaries of the city.
It really opened my eyes to see so many young people out and about after midnight and in such bad weather. Maybe some enterprising person can come up with a place for our teenagers to congregate inside, instead of roaming around the stores of Woodinville and getting into mischief?
My thanks once again to Officer Barnes and the Citizen's Academy.

After successfully answering last summer's challenge to slim down enough to don a sexy swimsuit, Shepherd, 42, told PEOPLE at the premiere of her new film Precious at the AFI Audi Film Festival that her next challenge may be a quest for a relationship. "I'd probably like a husband to find me – a man to find me," she said. "I'm available now!"
But is she really ready for co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Walters, Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Joy Behar to weigh in as passionately on her romantic life as they do on Hot Topics?
"Sure, yeah!" said Shepherd. "I do trust them. I'm finding that everyone who meets a really good guy was on a blind date. So yeah, I'm ready for the ladies of The View to set me up on a blind date. I even asked Larry King if he knew somebody."
Shepherd also offered her celebrity pals a template for what she's looking for in a man. "A really great sense of humor. He must love children. He's got to have a good FICA score. I don't want him to have potential. I want to him to have already reached his potential, because I'm not taking care of nobody!"

The European Society for Environmental History invites proposals for panels and posters for its upcoming 4th conference in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 5-8 June 2007.
Environmental historians increasingly work on a global scale, addressing global issues or comparing local and national experiences with other locales. Given the interconnectedness of all parts of the planet in matters ecological, this makes excellent sense. Europe has had longstanding relationships with the rest of the world from the beginning of historical time, causing both enrichment and deprivation of biodiversity and habitats. Lively exchanges of humans and other biota, and of environmental ideas, techniques and practices, existed with Asia and Africa already from Antiquity onwards, with the Americas, Australia and New Zealand from the end of the Middle Ages onwards. The Netherlands, a country with a long tradition of global exchange, was one of the first nations to foster environmental awareness.
The challenging theme for the 4th conference of the European Society for Environmental History in Amsterdam, hosted by the Vrije Universiteit (Free University) in Amsterdam is therefore 'Environmental connections: Europe and the wider World'.
Submission of proposals for panels, papers and posters: 1 Feb. - 1 June 2006
For more information about the conference and paper submissions please visit the website of the European Society for Environmental History: www.eseh.org.

After taking questions from PEOPLE readers, Michelle Obama revealed that before she and the First Family traveled to Africa, she prepared briefing books for daughters Sasha, 12, and Malia, 14, so they could get the most out of the international traveling experience.
"We brief them like I'm briefed and like the President is briefed. They get a little packet of material so they understand the history of the country," Mrs. Obama says in response to a question from Bernadette in Des Moines, Iowa, about how the First Lady prepares her daughters for what they'll encounter in impoverished countries. She doesn't shelter them from harsh realities: "I want my girls to get the entire feel of what it means to be in countries that are not the United States."
She adds, "I want my kids to be educated and have as much information as they can about the countries that they're visiting."
And she has a special shout-out to Jada, a 15-year-old high school student from Cleveland, Ohio, who submitted her Michelle-look-a-like selfies: "We're sisters in power, leadership – you and me, Jada. Change the world! I expect big things from you."

Slowly whirling in space at the center of Lee Bontecou: All Freedom In Every Space, now on view on the fourth floor of the Museum, is a suspended sculpture that the artist created over an eighteen-year period from 1980 to 1998. In this remarkable galaxy of forms, the catalyst for the current exhibition, many of Bontecou's greatest interests converge—in particular, her longstanding fascinations with outer space, flight, and the natural world.

A Close Look: Frida Kahlo's Fulang-Chang and I
When curators Leah Dickerman, Luis Pérez-Oramas, and I began to discuss our plans for creating a new gallery dedicated to Mexican Modernist art made in the 1930s and 1940s—which opened in May of this year—Frida Kahlo's Fulang-Chang and I was one of the works we were determined to include. We were intent not only to show the painting, but also to display it alongside the mirror that Kahlo made to accompany it, for reasons I'll elaborate on a bit later. Read more

Derivatives reform limps along
June 19, 2010 - Mike Maneval
Politico's Ben Smith reports that the financial reform bill will see another push Tuesday and Wednesday, with many contentious issues, including new rules restraining derivatives investment, still unresolved. President Barack Obama would like to have the bill on Thursday, but opponents of reform see it as unlikely. According to Smith, critics of reform measures see the tide turning their way, in part, due to " recent opposition from moderate Democrats."
On a similar note, Vince Veneziani of BusinessInsider.com reported three days earlier, on June 15, that U.S. Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., is willing to amend her measure requiring financial firms to keep greater capital in reserve to cover derivatives investments to give the firms a two-year grace period for the express purpose of repackaging derivatives division to skirt the underlying reforms.
Earlier in the week, Senate aides alleged to media that the Treasury Department was pressing legislators to weaken or abandon the efforts to isolate and secure transactions, setting the stage for the measure's sponsor to choose weakening the provision.

Personnel department
XYZ University
Dear Prof. PQR,
This letter is with reference to the advertisement in ABC newspaper regarding the job opportunity to work with XYZ University as a senior faculty member for xxxx (subject) department. I have completed my undergraduate degree with excellence and currently I am completing my PhD. On 'xxxx(Subject for PhD)'. The title of my PhD thesis is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Title of the thesis). I have explained xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(Contents of thesis) in my PhD thesis.
I always had a flair for teaching. I believe that if you share the knowledge you have with others, then it grows. I have been working with GHI University as faculty for xxxxx (subject). While working in GHI University, I had the opportunity to interact with students, and senior faculty members. This experience helped me to get depth to my knowledge of xxxx (subject). I had a chance to learn new styles of teaching like classroom teaching, brainstorming sessions, discussions & arguments etc. This experience gave me a new dimension of thinking.
Rather than the set methods of teaching I prefer student centered teaching. During my working tenure at GHI University I have worked with students on their ability level. I am confident that I know the psychology of students and I would definitely be able to improve them academically.
Furthermore, I have been very adaptable and a good leader throughout my career. I was a team leader for xxxx (Science fair) back in college. I have been an excellent student and I was very good with convincing other people. I believe that teaching is much more than taking classroom lectures & I always aim at teaching my students how to apply their knowledge in life.
I have attached my resume. I have enclosed three references from my previous employers. If you need any more information, please feel free to contact me. I will happily provide it to you.

Dr. Havidán Rodríguez has been selected as the new provost/vice president for Academic Affairs for The University of Texas-Pan American. Rodríguez, who is currently the deputy provost and a professor in the sociology and criminal justice department of the University of Delaware, begins his new post at UTPA Jan. 1.
Rodríguez is also a core faculty member and former director of the Disaster Research Center, the oldest and one of the leading social science disaster research centers in the world. Currently he is the principal investigator for the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program: Training the Next Generation of Disaster Researchers, which is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
"He brings a wealth of teaching and administrative experience, research expertise and an extensive record of accomplishments," UTPA President Robert S. Nelsen said in a letter announcing Rodíguez's hire.
Rodríguez said he is honored to have been selected and is looking forward to working with the University and Rio Grande Valley communities in moving UTPA forward.
"The future is very bright at UTPA and there are many exciting and promising opportunities that will contribute to the growth and development of this institution and its surrounding communities. It will be a privilege to work with President Nelsen, the Provost's Office and with other members of the UTPA community," he said.
Rodríguez has served on many committees for the National Academies of Sciences and on review panels for the NSF and the Ford Foundation and was chairman of the Latina/o Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association. He has received funding from those foundations, as well as from the National Institute of Mental Health, FEMA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez Sea Grant Program, for many research projects focusing on the social science aspects of disasters and projects that provide hands-on experiences and mentoring for undergraduate and graduate students, according to his résumé.
He received his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, his master's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and his bachelor's degree from the University of Maryland. Rodríguez said he was impressed with the University's students, faculty and staff and their loyalty and commitment to UTPA. As provost, he said, he is looking forward to building and sustaining interdisciplinary collaborations, strategic global partnerships and initiatives, as well as expanding study abroad programs, undergraduate research, service learning and other experiential and discovery learning initiatives.
"At the end of the day, the most important institutional goal is to ensure the success of our students," he said. "Their success is the University's success."

Project Runway All Stars Blog
Tag (Art), You're It!
On "Project Runway," one of my favorite challenges every season is when the designers get to create their own fabricI think that it's the one challenge that really lets the designers show off their own aesthetic without being pigeonholed. So I pretty much felt like a kid on Christmas morning when I found out that there was going to be a similar challenge on "PRAS"â€_with spray paint! How freaking cool! And I think I can safely say that they designers felt the same way. (Reallyâ€_Andrae's expressions always say it all.)
There's nothing more I love than a spray paint party on the windiest day ever! Seriously, I don't know how the designers came out of creating their fabrics without a speck of spray paint on them! Upon first glance, the fabrics that stood out to me were Althea, Joshua, Uli and Anthony Ryan's. But, per usual, I was curious to see what all the designers were going to do with their new creationsI didn't write anyone off quite just yet!
Say what you want, but I am very Team Laura Kathleen. In my opinion (and feel free to disagree in the comments below!), I like her sassy, sometimes bitchy, yet confident attitude. If she didn't have the designs to support the fact that she's a workroom diva, then I'd be all like, hush. But I think she one of the strongest designers in the competition and she can hold her own. Soâ€_all power to her. (And really, who doesn't love a good awkward scene? You know, the kind when you walk into a room and know that people are talking about you? Ivy and Kayne did not do a good job covering that up.)
Speaking of people talking about you, how come Joanna didn't tell Suede that he should really rethink his design?! She cared more about that the model could wear a bra than the fact that the dress was shaping up to look like it could be worn at a 7th grade school dance. I felt like his runway fate was sealed in that moment.
I have to be honest (Okay, when am I not?!), I didn't entirely agree with the judges top and bottom choices. I thought Casanova should have been in the Top 3 instead of Ivy and that Andrae should have been in the Bottom 3 instead of Laura Kathleen. Casanova's did a great job piecing together and embellishing his fabric, and I though Ivy's fabric was weak. I get where she was going with the comic book/Lichtenstein angle, but it came across as weird and Halloweeny to me. As for Laura Kathleen, I don't think a short hemline was grounds to be on the chopping block. Andrae's big purple bow and overall styling was just tacky to me.
I think it could have gone either way between Emilio and Anthony Ryan. I personally liked Anthony Ryan's dress and fabric more, but Emilio did an ambitious jacket and definitely should have been rewarded for that. Well done.
As far as Suede's exit, I think looking back, Suede can see why Suede was sent packing. Had Suede not used paillettes, I'm sure Suede would agree that Suede would have had a fighting chance this challenge. Another Suede bites the dust.

- Scissors

- Fusible Webbing (3/8")
- Iron
- Strip of Hook and Loop Fastener with Adhesive Back
- 20" of 1 1/2" Ribbon
- 19 x 12 Quick Stick Felt Sheet

- There may be some overlap between the two sheets. Trim off excess to create a rectangle.
- To create bottom portion of your clutch, fold up bottom of purse 4". Press with an iron to achieve crease.
- Place ribbon about 1" from the top of the newly formed clutch bottom. You will want to tuck about 1/2" of ribbon on the inside of the right side to avoid having noticable seams. Glue the 1/2" piece. Let dry.
- Using your fusible webbing, cut an 8 3/4" strip and place in the middle of your ribbon and front of your clutch. Fuse together according to instructions.
- With your ribbon affixed to the front, you will now want to glue the left side seam together before carrying the rest of the ribbon to the back. Let dry.
- Repeat step 5 for the back portion of your clutch.
- Trim off any excess ribbon, but still leave yourself about 1/2", and tuck into seam (similar to Step 4). Glue seam in place. Let dry.
- Fold top portion down 3" to create clutch top. Use your iron to press fold.
- Affix hook and loop fastener in middle of clutch where you would like it to clasp.

Wow this is so super cute and so easy to follow. I love this. And it is a great project for someone who does not sew or someone who does not have a sewing machine but would like to make a clutch. The clutches are so in now. I have never heard of quick stick felt sheets before but am looking forward to making this clutch with my grand daughter for a weekend or summer project. I know she will love it. I love the pattern on this felt sheet. Looks real easy. Does all craft stores carry this stick felt sheets? Thanks so much for tutorial. Nicely done.

Will New California Regulations Impact Industry?
Safer Consumer Products Regulation enters stage 2.
California, here we come…again. When it comes to regulation activity no state rivals the activity within The Golden State. The new Safer Consumer Products regulation is entering the next stage of its development and ACI enlisted the talents of three attorneys to decipher what it means for member companies.
According to Mark Duvall of Beveridge & Diamond the regulation has its impetus in a 2005 paper entitled, "Rethinking the Role of Information in Chemical Policy." As a result of that publication, California regulators are determined to push companies toward safer alternatives at earlier stages of product development.
"This is a hazard-based program that is designed to drive companies to find alternatives," explained Duvall, who added that regulators are also pushing for more disclosure that would put confidential business information at risk.
In Stage 1, the Department of Toxic Substances Control developed a list of 1,200 chemicals that deserved scrutiny. From there, the DTSC whittled the list down to 166 chemicals of concern (COC) or categories of chemicals that are ripe for regulation.
"It's a curious list," observed Duvall. "It includes chemicals like BPA, phthalates, parabens and ethylene glycol."
In Stage 3, Alternative Analysis, the responsible party must find an alternative chemical and has 12 months after DTSC issues a notice of compliance.
In Stage 2, which will be implemented on April 1, 2014, DTSC will it prioritize product/COC combinations to develop a list of Priority Products for which an Alternatives Assessment must be prepared. The purpose of the Alternatives Assessment is to require that manufacturers evaluate ways to reduce or eliminate COC concentrations.
In Stage 3, Alternative Analysis, the responsible party must find an alternative chemical and has 12 months after DTSC issues a notice of compliance.
In Stage 4, DTSC will review the assessments and can adopt restrictions on priority products.
Sounds ominous. So what is a company to do?
"Don't panic," advised Herbert Estreicher of Keller and Heckman. "Many of the ingredients on the list are the usual suspects. California regulators are only adding their voices to the choir."
Still, he advised attendees to fight DTSC every step of the way when the time comes.
"Don't let them think that your industry is low-lying fruit," he warned.
But what ingredients or classes of ingredients will be the first to get scrutinized? Right now, nobody know, nor does anyone know if the list will impact just certain ingredients, a particular dose or the entire product that utilizes that ingredient?
"It's bedeviling," admitted Cheryl Falvey of Crowell & Morning.
Also unknown is when will reformulation implementation actually take place? One thing the speakers did know is that alternative analysis will be expensive in more ways than one.
"An alternative assessment will cost more than $1 million to perform and put your trade secrets at risk," warned Duvall.

In Sandy's Wake, Some Saw Love Grow
For most who endured the floodwaters, wrecked homes and lengthy power outages six months ago, superstorm Sandy is remembered as a grim ordeal at best. But a few found unexpected closeness in the chaos of the storm.
Patricia Rogers, 23 years old, was facing the first real emergency situation since living on her own as the power went out in her two-bedroom apartment in Orange, N.J. The transit shutdown and gas shortages kept her apart from her parents in the Bronx and a sister on Long Island.
But her boyfriend, 20-year-old Ray Sykes, was by her side as Sandy made landfall on Oct. 29, and their relationship that hadn't been all that serious over the months of summer seemed to change as a result of the unusual situation.
"Because of boredom," Rogers said, "we talked more and probably got to know each other better in that week than we ever did."
The couple stayed at her apartment for eight days, living without power or heat, playing cards and walking to buy groceries. Rogers said they talked earnestly by candlelight about topics not usualy broached early in a relationship. "It was really after Sandy where I was like, OK, yeah, he is my boyfriend, I am his girlfriend," she said.
For Laura Tatham and her longtime boyfriend, Nick Fierro, the superstorm brought more severe hardships. They lived together in Jersey City's Paulus Hook neighborhood that filled with water — first creeping into the backyard they had planted with tomatoes, then flowing into their apartment.
"It was an obscene amount of water and it all happened within 10 to 15 minutes," Ms. Tatham recalled. "By the time I left, it was up to my belly button."
Neighbors quickly came to their aid, allowing Tatham and Fierro to ride out the storm in their top-floor apartment. But the couple's home was ruined in the light of morning, starting an ordeal that continues. Renters' insurance hasn't covered the cost of lost belongings, she said, and a small check and hotels stay provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency provided welcome relief but no lasting fix.
Help came from all quarters – "Everyone we know," Tatham said — but the weeks of couch-surfing and scrapping by ultimately revealed her commitment to Fierro.
"That night cemented to me, we have a really strong relationship, and it doesn't matter what happens from here on out," she said. "We're going to be fine." The couple even commemorated their storm experience with matching tattoos, four feet up from the ground — the level of the water line. The tattoos read: "home."
Sarah Riffat and Juanly Cabrera, residents of Astoria, Queens, saw Sandy wreck their wedding scheduled for the Friday following landfall when the waterfront venue they had reserved suffered flood damage.
Not wanting to inconvenience family members and friends, some of whom had traveled long distances to attend, the couple improvised. Riffat, 27, who is Pakistani by background, had planned a traditional pre-wedding celebration and mehndi ceremony at Haveli, an restaurant in Forest Hills. The wedding moved there as well, with a makeshift aisle and 100 friends and relatives in attendance.
Looking back six months later, Riffat believes the day was "perfect, given the circumstances."
"We ended up doing this completely different thing and it was totally hectic, totally chaotic," she said. Guests have told them it was among the best weddings they have attended.

An exclusive survey by Computing finds that over 40 percent of the UK's IT strategists accept that their data is unreliable and may not meet their business needs. Staggeringly, the same percentage have not taken steps to clean and correct core data when errors have been found.
These and other findings suggest that a significant number of the UK's Chief Information Officers (CIOs) are not living up to their job titles and instead are being controlled by inaccurate data, lacking the will or the business support to tackle the problem at source. Dealing with core data errors while they are small and manageable is far better than trying to repair the damage after the problem has been allowed to escalate out of control

Decision on charges coming in fatal Millcreek crashes
Decisions are coming soon on charges in a pair of fatal traffic accidents in Millcreek Township, Erie County District Attorney Jack Daneri said Monday.
Township police and the District Attorney's Office have completed the investigation into a June 26 crash that killed a Lake City motorcyclist. The District Attorney's Office will have a decision on charges by the end of the week, Daneri said.
Dale S. Kunselman, 55, was pronounced dead at UPMC Hamot after the Harley-Davidson motorcycle he was driving collided with a Chevrolet Lumina at the intersection of West Sixth Street and West Lake Road, near the south entrance of Waldameer Park & Water World. A passenger on the motorcycle, Jeanne Edwards, 51, of Lake City, was seriously injured in the crash and is still undergoing medical treatment, according to investigators.
Also injured in the crash was a passenger in the Chevrolet, Erica Leuschen, 28, of Wesleyville. The driver of the Chevrolet, Alex Pearson, 21, of Millcreek, was not injured, police said.
Daneri said he expects a decision on charges within a couple of weeks in a July 3 accident along Peach Street that killed a pedestrian. Investigators were still waiting on some evidence, he said.
Bryon Long, 27, and a woman were pushing shopping carts full of groceries north along the east berm of Peach Street when Long was hit by a northbound van, driven by John M. Peterson, of Waterford, that drifted off the roadway just south of Kuntz Road, investigators said.
Long, of Millcreek, was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman was not injured, police said.
Millcreek police have not yet completed their investigation into a July 18 crash along Route 8 that killed another pedestrian. Brian W. Trimble, 44, of North East, was walking along the east berm of Route 8, near the Interstate 90 interchange, when a Chevrolet Cobalt driven by Eileen M. Zatynski, of Greene Township, veered off the road and hit him, police said.
Trimble was pronounced dead at UPMC Hamot. Zatynski was treated at Saint Vincent Hospital.
Investigators looking into the crash were waiting last week for the results of toxicology testing and the results of an inspection on the Chevrolet, Millcreek Police Chief Tom Carlotti said Monday.

We're trying to get the Sample Security Provider example running in Weblogic 8.1. We have implemented some of the custom Security Providers and have set the others to the defaults.
But when we try to run the ant target, "test.perimeteratn", we keep getting: java.io.FileNotFoundException: [url]http://localhost:7001/SamplePerimeterAtnWebApp/SamplePerimeterAtn.jsp[/url].
We've got the build script to run correctly and the files are moved to the user_projects directory correctly (user_projects\domains\sampledomain\applications).
We've tried running the test manually as well, but receive java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: SamplePerimeterAtnClient. This is coming up even though we are running it from the directory where this class resides.
I'm assuming this is a simple config problem. I've tried dropping the "domians" directory, so that the path is just user_projects\sampledomain\applications, but that hasn't worked.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Josh Hamilton says Texas Rangers have 'crazy' talent
Josh Hamilton is hyped about the Rangers' 2010 season. Most notably because he is finally feeling good.
"(I'm) healthy baby. Do I look strong?" Hamilton told the Abilene Reporter-News on Friday, when he spoke at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Victory Dinner at the Abilene Civic Center.
Hamilton said he expects Texas, which recently added slugger Vladimir Guerrero, to play meaningful games late in the season. LOUIS DeLUCA / DMN Josh Hamilton hit 10 home runs during an injury-plagued 2009 season in which he appeared in just 89 games. View larger More photos Photo store
"We've got so much talent it's crazy," he told the Reporter-News. "The key is staying healthy. ... If we can stay healthy as a team, we've got such a great lineup from 1-to-9, and then the pitching obviously stepped up big time last year with (new co-owner) Nolan Ryan coming in and (pitching coach) Mike Maddux. It was such a dramatic difference from '08 to '09, and even if we can improve just a little bit on that going into '10, it will be a great year."
Hamilton is also healthier in the wallet. He reached an agreement Tuesday on a $3.25 million contract last week. He was eligible for arbitration for the first time after hitting .268 with 10 home runs and 54 RBIs during an injury-plagued season a year ago, when he made $565,000.
Manager Ron Washington is moving Hamilton to leftfield to make room for Julio Borbon in center and Nelson Cruz in right. Hamilton will be the backup centerfielder for now: "He's still a quality center fielder," Washington said. "We don't feel that's a weakness."
Hamilton hadn't heard the news. "I think they moved me to left - they haven't really told me," he told the Reporter-News. "We read it on the Internet. But I'm going to be somewhere in the outfield this year."

Dirk Nowitzki: Miami's LeBron James is a 'fake' in this regard...
Dallas Mavericks power forward Dirk Nowitzki recently joined Men in Blazers on ESPN/.com's Grantland Podcasts. Here are some highlights:
On if LeBron James is a soccer fan since he is involved with Liverpool:
"He's a fake soccer fan."
On being an Arsenal fan:
"I like Arsenal. Obviously, they've got two Germans in. (Lukas Podolski) is my boy. We text once in a while. I'm really glad they got the Champions League berth and finished strong and finished fourth. But really, my two brothers in law play for Blackburn. The Olsson twins. When Blackburn fired Sam Allardyce, that was the biggest mistake. Everything went downhill from there. They had a rough year and almost got relegated from the championship. I'm a Blackburn fan first and in the Premier League, I like Arsenal."

Francisco Pizarro, the conqueror of Peru, and Francisco de Orellano, the explorer of the Amazon, both came from Trujillo, while the ruthless Hernán Cortés, who led the destruction of the Aztec empire, hailed from Medellín in Badajoz.

Bear Harbor to Wheeler
Length 10.6 mi · Climbing 2330 ft
California > Southern Humboldt County > Sinkyone Wilderness State Park
Access road closed
As of September 2015, the last 2 miles of the road to the trailhead are badly eroded and therefore closed to cars year-round. To get to the trailhead, you have to park at the Needle Rock visitor center and walk down the somewhat dull access road, adding a total of 4 miles to the round-trip hike.
The Lost Coast Trail runs through miles of lush, attractive coastal woodland high up on top of the rugged coastal cliffs. There aren't a whole lot of ocean views; most of the trail is lushly wooded and on summer days is often in the fog. Although it's in a wilderness, the trail is fairly popular and is generally in good condition. Because it's built to state park standards there aren't any really steep or technically difficult sections.
Although there aren't actually a lot of redwoods here, the trail does pass through a small stand about 5 miles in, which is the destination for this hike. There are also a few smaller stands of redwoods, particularly Chase Grove, of which perhaps a few dozen trees can be seen from the trail in a scenic ravine. The redwoods tend to be slightly twisted and gnarled and lack the height or the magnificent, straight-as-an-arrow appearance of the redwoods in the major redwood parks. The woodland as a whole, though, is quite scenic and varied.
Long pants are recommended to protect against poison oak. Although there isn't a lot of it (the first two and a half miles hardly have any), parts of the trail are somewhat overgrown and the occasional small sprig of poison oak hiding in the undergrowth among the many other 3-leafed plants can be difficult to spot.
Click here to see the trailhead location in Google Maps.
The trailhead is about an hour and a half from Highway 101. Take one of the Redway exits and continue to the town of Redway, then turn onto Briceland-Thorn Road toward Shelter Cove. The road climbs though attractive countryside. Turn left onto Briceland Road. Interestingly, there are a few isolated old-growth redwoods along the side of the road. Just past the Mendocino county line, the road passes a larger old-growth grove to your right. This grove is actually an isolated part of Sinkyone Wilderness.
Go straight at the "four corners" intersection, where the road becomes dirt. Wind your way down until you reach the Needle Rock visitor center, where there's a gate across the road. Pay the parking fee and continue past the gate. The road undulates up and down along the coast, crosses a small stream, then ends at the trailhead.
Hike description
The trail starts out with a pleasant stroll along a level path cut through tall, dense blackberry brambles. The trail passes some campgrounds. A short spur to the right crosses a footbridge and leads to a beach; here you can see the cliffs that you'll be walking on top of. The main trail continues to the left, becoming somewhat faint and overgrown as it passes through a meadow. Fortunately it soon opens up again as it comes under the tree canopy. In general, the trail is overgrown whenever it comes out from under the trees, but most of the trail is under the trees and in good condition.
The trail climbs along a ravine, then turns and winds its way up a hillside, passing a few stumps and the remains of an old road. The trail levels out and passes through an attractive fir grove. Eventually it descends slightly into another ravine with trickling creek where a few good-sized redwoods grow.
The trail continues at a roughly constant elevation, although there still seems to be a lot of up-and-down as it meanders engagingly through dense green woodland.
After an extended climb, the trail tops out at a pair of small knolls, then begins to descend. For a while, the trail leaves the forest and becomes a little faint and overgrown, though it's always easy to discern the trail. Finally, the trail re-enters the forest, turns away from the coast, and begins to descend through a fir grove that soon gives way to redwoods. It comes as something of a relief to have a mile-long stretch of straight (at least between the switchbacks), clear trail where you can walk at a normal speed. The trees get larger as you descend, reaching their largest size right at the point where the trail bottoms out at Wheeler Camp. The campground itself is located in a small clearing next to the redwoods.
This is the end of the hike, but you may want to continue along the trail as it passes through an attractive alder grove, if for no other reason than to enjoy the perfectly flat, wide stretch of trail, an unusual thing in this area. A trail to your left ascends for about two miles to the Sally Bell Grove, another old-growth grove.
