LOGAN, Utah - Utah State men's head golf coach Dean Johansen was recently honored by the Professional Golfers' Association of America as he was named the 2013 Utah Section Teacher of the Year.
"It is always exciting when one of your own is recognized publicly and we are thrilled for Dean that he was honored by his peers," said USU Vice President and Director of Athletics Scott Barnes.
Johansen is in his 14th season as the men's golf coach at Utah State University and in his 16th year with the program as he also spent two years as an assistant under former USU head coach Dan Roskelley. Johansen is also the assistant golf professional at the Logan Golf & Country Club, having served in that capacity for the past 16 years.
During Utah State's 2012-13 season, Johansen coached the Aggies to nine top 10 finishes in its 11 competitions including a tie for third at the Weber State hosted Battle at the Tetons. Johansen also coached junior Tanner Higham to a first-place tie, losing in a playoff, at the Southern Utah hosted Pat Hicks Thunderbird Invitational with a 2-under 142 (70-72).
Also during the 2012-13 season, Utah State was one of just 79 Division I men's golf programs to earn the All-Academic Team Award from the Golf Coaches Association of America with an overall grade point average of 3.265, while Higham became the first Aggie golfer in school history to be named a Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar.
During Utah State's fall portion of its 2013-14 season, Johansen coached a pair of Aggie golfers to back-to-back tournament wins as Higham shot an 8-under 205 (71-67-67) to win the Boise State hosted Dash Thomas Memorial, while sophomore Seokwon Jeon shot a 7-under 206 (67-71-68) to win the Utah Invitational the following weekend. Overall, it was the first time since 1996 that a Utah State golfer won medalist honors at a tournament.
Johansen graduated from Utah State University in 1995 with a bachelor's degree in philosophy. He prepped at North Sanpete High School in Mt. Pleasant, Utah and is married to the former Laura Hafen. The couple has four boys: Duncan (16), Dawson (16), Beckham (9) and Roman (6).

Adam Cohen Receives Inaugural Blavatnik Award for Young Scientists
Posted by mblnews under Course, Imaging, MBL
No Comments
Adam Cohen, a faculty member and former student in the MBL's Physiology course, is one of three winners of the inaugural Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists. The awards, given by the Blavatnik Family Foundation and the New York Academy of Sciences, honor exceptional young U.S. scientists and engineers. Each laureate receives $250,000 – the largest unrestricted cash prize for early-career scientists. Cohen is Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology and Physics at Harvard University, and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) investigator.
Cohen was recognized for "significant breakthroughs in cellular imaging that allow for the observation of neural activity in real-time, at single-cell resolution." Combining his expertise in chemistry, physics, and biology, Cohen uses microscopy and lasers to develop noninvasive methods of visualizing and studying the roles of cellular voltage in neurons. His novel techniques, including fluorescent voltage indicators derived from microbial rhodopsins, help to answer questions about the propagation of electrical signals and could one day lead to the design of individualized treatments for conditions such as ALS, epilepsy, and bipolar disorders.
"Cohen is recognized as one of the nation's most promising young scientists," said Vern Schramm, Ruth Merns Chair in Biochemistry at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and a member of the 2014 Blavatnik Awards National Jury.
The two other 2014 Blavatnik National Laureates are Rachel Wilson, Professor of Neurobiology at Harvard University and an HHMI Investigator, who was recognized for her research on sensory processing and neural circuitry in the fruit fly; and Marin Soljačić, Professor of Physics at MIT, recognized for his discoveries of novel phenomena related to the interaction of light and matter, and his work on wireless power transfer technology.
The Blavatnik Family Foundation is headed by philanthropist Len Blavatnik, founder and chairman of Access Industries, a privately held U.S. industrial group.

Reviews for the Acer Aspire 5750-9851
Source: PC Mag
The Acer Aspire AS5750-9851 offers up a powerful Core i7 processor, Acer's own Clear.fi software, and a nice 15.6-inch screen, but that's about it. If features like WiDi 2.0, WiMAX, Blu-ray, and discrete graphics don't matter to you, then the Aspire AS5750-9851 is a good buy. However, for $145 more the Toshiba Satellite P775-S7215 can give you the first three features plus the same processor. For $180 less the Asus U56E-BBL5—the Editors' Choice for budget laptops—can give you WiDi 2.0, WiMAX 4G broadband, and better battery life, but you will be trading in that Core i7 for a Core i5—it all depends on what you value in a laptop.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.

Newest Allison focused on NASCAR career
As his grandson, Justin Allison, reached Victory Lane at Pocono Raceway last weekend, Donnie Allison recalled every win in a NASCAR career that spanned three decades.
Justin's first ARCA Racing Series win, the elder Allison said, "was the culmination of a long, hard journey for him and I" and the happiest moment in Donnie's racing life.
Justin Allison is part of one of racing's most revered families. Donnie earned 10 wins and the 1967 rookie of the year award in the Cup.
His great uncle, Bobby, won the 1983 points title and three Daytona 500s. His cousin, Davey, was the 1987 rookie of the year and also won a Daytona 500 in a career cut short by a fatal helicopter crash in July 1993.
But Justin Allison hasn't enjoyed a free ride in racing. He has earned his way to what he hopes will be a Cup career one day, capped by the family's first win since Davey won at Richmond International Raceway in 1993.
"He worked awful hard to get to where he's got," Donnie Allison, 74, said. "It's a lot harder now than it was when I did it."
Justin, 22, a native of Salisbury, N.C., will be side by side with Donnie and Bobby to sign autographs for fans Saturday night at Lake Erie Speedway.
They have stood side by side since Justin began racing full time at 13 years old. Justin's father, Kenny, and uncles Ronald and Donald operate the Allison Legacy Race Series, an intermediate class featuring smaller versions of Cup cars that was part of the LES weekly program from 2002-04.
They had little time to help Justin as he began his Legacy career.
So Grandpa stepped in.
They have spent the past nine years working on race cars and building a name for the newest Allison.
Justin also turns to Bobby, a member of the NASCAR and International Motorsport halls of fame, for advice.
It's challenging to be an Allison. Expectations are much higher, even as Justin toils in his family's immense shadow.
"I haven't been around long enough to make a name for myself," he said. "We're starting to, but that just comes with time."
Donnie Allison understands how Justin feels. He was Bobby's younger brother throughout his racing career. Donnie Allison also understands the pressure of heightened expectations.
"He doesn't have to keep up with the Joneses. He has to be better than the Joneses," Donnie Allison said. "That's an awful lot of pressure put on him, and he handles it quite well."
Donnie Allison credits Justin's late start in racing, and a blue-collar approach that led to the family's success, for preparing his grandson to face that pressure.
Justin spent his early childhood playing football and baseball.
Although "that consumed 95 percent of my life," he said, Justin nagged his family about letting him race full time after getting a taste of the sport in five go-kart races at 5 years old and two Legacy races at 9 and 10 years old.
His uncle, Ronald, had a simple plan -- grow tall enough to reach a mark he placed on a pole. Justin tried to speed up the process by moving the line down the pole. But he couldn't fool his family.
They knew Justin needed time to grow physically, mentally and emotionally.
Justin understands that now, as he builds a career he hopes will lead to an ARCA championship in 2015, a move to NASCAR's Nationwide Series in 2016 and then to Sprint Cup after that. His first ARCA win was a step in the right direction, for him and his family.
"It definitely felt good winning our first race," he said. "They don't come easily at all."

The service doc I have shows the same; 'reserved for future use' but I
did find the following snippet: "When power is applied to the system,

If a test fails, the display does not change. Therefore, when a
failure occurs , the LED code is pointing to the test which last
That means its test F3 that failed; the service guide says "Load the
DROM code into memory.". F2 apparently continues that, and F1 should
be "Successful load and checksum of DROM".
The popup says that in the event the DROM load fails, SROM will
attempt to load the selected firmware (ARC or SRM), and failing that
will drop into a "mini console" that is apparently available to
manufacturing. Is that the serial port on the MLB in the back? The
docs do not say.
There's also this note: "Check J3: If "normal", then HW_REI to PAL.
If J3 is set to S-Port, go to the SROM mini-console."
That does happen after the test that failed but perhaps the J3 jumper
setting may be worth checking to see if you can get access to further
I wonder if you have had a firmware corruption. Perhaps even to the
point that you need to use a failsafe boot...

HourlyLess than 30 hrs/week
Start DateFebruary 27, 2013
Needed: A wordpress guru for a long-term contract. 20+ hrs a week for 3-4 weeks, then as needed - probably a few hours a week. More work available if desired once you've proven yourself on this first job.
You need to know Wordpress inside out at a core level. At a minimum you'll have coded multiple plugins and themes. Ideally you'll have contributed to the core project.
Please - if all you've really done is installed some basic sites, made some basic customisations, or done PSD to theme conversions and the thought of writing a complex plugin frightens you - do not apply :)
We have a sizeable chunk of work upfront - we want to consolidate a number of smaller plugins we've already written into one, extend a custom XML-RPC API (we've already extended the default API significantly, but we need to extend it further), and we'll need to develop a new administrative section and some new functionality (nothing major). The plugin will need to be tested cross-browser, and across Wordpress versions from Wordpress 3.5.
We will need ongoing work to the plugin as we add new features, and as Wordpress releases updates to keep it up to date with the latest Wordpress versions. We'll also need ongoing bug fixes.
For the right person, who wants more work, we also have a ton of theme-related jobs (low priority) that you can have, or we can use someone else for that, whatever you prefer.
A little about us;
We have built a complex Wordpress integration. That shouldn't scare you, that platform is not built in Wordpress (or PHP) at all, but rather controls Wordpress through both the native XML-RPC API and our extension of it.
It's already built, and working with our own hosted Wordpress multisite instance. Now we want to take that and wrap it up in a Wordpress plugin that we can distribute. It's a big, fun, exciting project!
We're looking for someone who wants to work as part of a technical team (I am technical and the lead developer on this project), and has a total commitment to creating reliable, tested software to specification, and who can suggest improvements and optimizations as they work through the code.
In other words - we want a professional developer!

More 'Les Miserables' available on video
1 "Les Mis�rables" (1998). Despite an impressive cast and good reviews, this version of the Broadway musical tanked; it made just $14 million. Long before he inexplicably became an action hero, Liam Neeson played Valjean, while Geoffrey Rush played the relentless Inspector Javert. A young Clare Danes ("Homeland") is Cosette.
2 "Les Mis�rables" (1952). A year after starring in "The Day The Earth Stood Still," Michael Rennie played Valjean in a non-musical version, directed by Lewis Milestone ("All Quiet on the Western Front," "The Front Page.") Chasing him as Javert was Robert Newton. Cast also includes Sylvia Sydney, Elsa Lanchester.
3 "Les Mis�rables" (2000). Of course, it was a mini-series, too. Fox Family Channel aired the six-hour international production (USA, France, Italy, Spain, Germany) in 2000 with Gerard Depardieu as Valjean and John Malkovich as Javert.

Sean Monahan Believes The Flames Can Make The Playoffs
It may be a little early to be talking about playoffs in late February... especially when your team is second to last.
Call it youthful enthusiasm, or straight naivete ? whatever the case, Flames rookie Sean Monahan is talking playoffs.
?We?re going to push for a spot to get in the playoffs and we think we can do it,? Monahan told the Calgary Sun. ?We?re going to push every game and see what we can do.?
The Flames sit second from last in the Western Conference at the time of writing, 13 points shy of Dallas for the last wild card playoff spot.

Use the following exterior house painting tips and tricks to help make your next home improvement project easier.
Getting Started
Before you begin your project, review these home exterior house painting tips – and get the job done right the first time.
• When starting a painting project, begin on the side of the house that will remain in the shade until you finish. Direct sunlight can cause paint to dry too quickly, and can cause lap marks and blistering.
• Work from the top down, painting gutters and eaves first if you want them to match the color of your siding.
Clapboard Surfaces
• With clapboard surfaces, work from side to side. Minimize lap marks by painting four to five boards across the house until you finish.
• On clapboard siding, begin your painting in the area where two boards overlap. Use the narrow side of the brush and force paint up under the lap.
• Coat as much of a board as you can comfortably reach, then flip to the wider portion of the brush and coat the surface of the board.
Caring for Your Brushes and Supplies
• When you take a break, wrap your brushes, rollers, and paint trays with plastic to keep paint from hardening or developing a skin. Be sure to replace the lids on any open paint cans.
• Eliminate excess paint by dragging the heel of the brush occasionally over the lip of the can. This helps prevent paint from building up on the brush heel.
Weather: Exterior Painting Tips
The weather can impact paint adhesion. To ensure your new paint stays on – and looks its best – check the forecast and:
• Refrain from painting when the temperature drops below 50 degrees.
• Avoid threatening weather – rain can ruin a fresh coat of paint.
Note: On-screen and printer color representations may vary from actual paint colors.

One of the main knocks by Democrats on GOP presidential candidate George W. Bush is his perceived vagueness on the issues.
As the old saying goes, be careful what you ask for . . .
Bush got specific Thursday in Washington, stating his support of a strong military and providing the financial backing to accomplish this objective.
Bush's comments were clear: "If elected, I will set three goals: I will renew the bond of trust between the American president and the American military; I will defend the American people against missiles and terror; and I will begin creating the military of the next century."
Bush's comments were a welcome sound to Americans who recognize the importance of a strong military. America is the lone superpower remaining, and its military commitment must remain strong.
The threat of terrorism and dictatorial regimes is a reality, one that the U.S. military must be equipped to handle. Bush indicated he would increase military spending by $20 billion over five years.
The U.S. military cannot be shortchanged or become the world's policeman, policies Bush endorses.
Democrats wanted Bush to be specific on the issues.
They'll get their wish.

Carrie Underwood learns 'How I Met Your Mother'
'American Idol' winner will romance Josh Radnor's Ted
"American Idol" winner and country superstar Carrie Underwood is set to show off her acting skills on CBS' "How I Met Your Mother."
In a March episode of the long-running comedy, which celebrates its 100th episode next Monday, Underwood will play Tiffany, a pharmaceutical sales rep who becomes a potential love interest for Josh Radnor's Ted.
Might Underwood be the "Mother" of the title? We're just going to go out on a limb and say "No," though "How I Met Your Mother" got a nice ratings bump from a guest appearance by Britney Spears, so they may be hoping musical magic strikes twice.
Underwood recently showed some comedy moves in FOX's "Carrie Underwood: An All-Star Holiday Special," but this will be her television acting debut.

ATLANTA A bowl games outcome often has little bearing on the results of the next season. Players graduate. Coaches turn over. The energy and the feeling of postseason games are typically fleeting.
But this one felt different.
Clemsons 25-24 victory over LSU in the Chick-fil-A Bowl on Monday night could have long-ranging influence.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney noted his program would have to live with the results of the Chick-fil-A Bowl for the next eight months, good or bad. Clemson knew what it was to live with last seasons Orange Bowl loss.
Had Chandler Catanzaros last-second field-goal attempt missed, Clemson would again lament being one play away. Doubters would declare Clemsons double digit-win season to be fraudulent, as it had not defeated a ranked team entering Monday. With another loss, Clemson would enter 2013 as a suspect team.
Instead, Catanzaros 37-yard kick was good. The kick heard round the ACC changes the entire offseason conversation and perception regarding Clemson.
The Tigers (11-2) proved to a national audience that they are different. Clemson physically matched an elite SEC defense. Clemson was resilient, overcoming an early injury to Sammy Watkins. And this time it was Clemson making plays in the fourth quarter, outgaining LSU 159 to 1 in yardage in the final period to overcome an 11-point deficit in one of the best fourth-quarter performances in program history.
It validated a season in which Clemson reached 11 wins for just the fourth time in program history and first time since the national title season of 1981.
You cant win 12 until you win 11, Swinney said. You cant win a national championship until you learn how to win games like this. They fought every fricking play. They played with a lot of love and toughness. (LSU) is a national championship team.
This was a landmark win.
The win could give Clemson its first top 10 poll finish since 1990. And Clemson has an excellent chance at beginning 2013 as a preseason top 10 team.
The win over No. 8 LSU (10-3) was the highest ranked opponent Clemson had defeated in a bowl since topping No. 6 Tennessee in 2004, and it was the highest ranked SEC opponent an ACC team has defeated since Clemsons win over Tennessee.
It was Clemsons first fourth-quarter comeback in a bowl game since the 1959 Bluebonnet Bowl.
Clemson proved it was a different team and Tajh Boyd proved he was a different quarterback, a quarterback who looks like a 2013 Heisman contender if he returns.
After enduring a second-half slide last season that was tied in part to poor quarterback play, Boyds gutsy performance 79 combined passes and rushes, three touchdowns, no turnovers was made more impressive when placed in the context of Clemson being without two of its most skilled receivers in Watkins and Martavis Bryant.
Boyd said Watkins figured in the game plan a pretty adequate amount, and Clemson had to draw up a new plan on the fly.
Once (Watkins was injured) I said Well, I guess we better do something different, Boyd said. Once again, Coach (Chad) Morris is a mastermind. Hes going to put us in a situation to make plays. I love playing with him.
The game was a victory for Clemson coordinators, the highest-paid pair of assistants in the country. Not only did Morris regroup on the fly and restore balance to the Clemson offense attack 50 passes, 50 runs vs. LSU but defensive coordinator Brent Venables managed to transform the tenacity and aptitude of his defense over 15 bowl practices, with a graduate assistant, Wesley Goodwin, coaching the defensive backs.
To make the fourth-quarter comeback possible, Clemson forced three straight three-and-outs to end the game, and held LSU to converting only 3 of 13 third downs.
Improving fundamentals, Venables said of the change. Splits, personnel, formations, motions and down-and-distance, we talk about that as much as anything. We needed it. When you understand why and how you do things, you are going to play a lot more sure of yourself. You are going to trust your eyes and your technique and guy next to you. Thats what it is. Thats all it is.

A 33-year-old man died in a vehicle wreck on James Island Monday night, authorities said.
The Charleston County Coroner's Office identified the man as Joseph Dangerfield, of Charleston.
The wreck occurred on Central Park and Riverland Drive on James Island at 10:15 p.m. and only involved one vehicle, according to sheriff's officials.
The driver was traveling along Riverland Drive and lost control while approaching an intersection, officials said.
The car slid, struck a tree and then flipped. The driver, whose name has not yet been released, died at the scene.
Investigators said speed was a factor in the wreck.

Red and Blue Outscore GW, 3-1
Oct. 15, 2004
Duquesne's men's soccer team scored twice early and coasted to a 3-1 victory over George Washington Friday evening on Rooney Field. The win moves Duquesne's record to 8-5 overall and 4-1 in Atlantic 10 play.
The Dukes struck early as senior Derek MacKenzie lofted a corner kick into the box in the fourth minute and his brother freshman Travis MacKenzie headed it into the net for his third goal of the season. Less than three minutes later, junior Scott Gibson scored his third goal of the year on a pass from Travis MacKenzie to make it 2-0.
The Dukes carried the 2-0 lead into the locker room at halftime before George Washington lit the scoreboard with a goal in the 51st minute to pull to within one. However, the Red and Blue responded in the 60th minute as sophomore Noah Salsi fired a shot past the GW goalkeeper on an assist from Gibson to end the day's scoring.
Duquesne outshot the Colonials, 14-6 with 12 different Dukes taking a shot at the net and had a 9-1 advantage in corner kicks.
The Dukes will close out the home portion of their schedule on Sunday, Oct. 17 as they host Richmond at 1:00 pm. The Department of Athletics will honor seniors Brian Kolena, Bret Krotee, Derek MacKenzie, Matt Mehler and Jason Sourbeer prior to the match.

The following is the latest installment of Mayor Jim Boroff's monthly updates on city issues.
Capital projects. During the last six months of this year, the city will be undertaking a flurry of building and improvement projects - some of which will extend into the next year. Here is a brief summary of some of them:
Greenfield Street/federal highway project. Construction on this $1.2 million endeavor will begin in late fall. Greenfield Street will be widened near the Market Street intersection with a median strip between the lanes. Greenfield, itself, will cut across the now existing "point" between Perry and Market Streets - making the intersection much safer.
Rock Creek interceptor. This is another fall/winter project. Funded by an approximate $1.5 million low-interest state loan, this failing 4,000-plus foot section of our sewer system will be replaced in some areas or "slip-lined" in others, rejuvenating the lines and effecting relief to those who experience sewage backups during heavy downpours. Part of this project will include laying a new line on Main Street and rebuilding that thoroughfare from the Hedges Street intersection eastward to the bridge.
Hayes lift station. This major component of our sewer system is located on East SR 101. We will be rebuilding this pumping station at a cost of about $450,000. Work on this facility should be completed by fall.
Rainbow Muffler and Firestone buildings. These properties are being acquired by Seneca Industrial and Economic Development Corp. for the purpose of razing the buildings and conducting an environmental cleanup. The buildings are scheduled to be removed this summer. The city ultimately will own these properties for use as parking lots and green areas, which will complement the streetscape along Frost Parkway.
Fact Box
If you have questions about issues facing the city, write to me in care of 51 E. Market St., Tiffin, or at firstname.lastname@example.com. I am happy to speak with anyone who has concerns, suggestions or questions about the city. Call my office at (419) 448-5401 or stop by without an appointment. To ensure I am available, call ahead.
Smaller sewer projects. We already have rebuilt (or will be working on sections of) our residential sewers along Gibson Street and Ella Street as well as on the west end of town and in the Lincoln Road area.
North Sandusky Street paving. The city will be working with Ohio Department of Transportation to pave an approximately 200-foot stretch of this street at the north end of town. This will fill the "gap" between of recently finished repaving on that street and the newly paved section completed by the state.
Emerald ash borer. In an earlier column, I reported the city received a $40,000 matching grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Forestry Division to remove ash trees from our public rights of way and plant other tree species as replacements.
We have awarded the bid to a private contractor to remove about 33 of the largest ash trees on the city's rights-of-way at a cost of about $18,000. This leaves us with $32,000 to replace trees that have been devastated by the beetle.
Through the counsel of the Shade Tree Commission, Stephanie Miller of the Ohio Division of Forestry and our own foresters, we will be planting a variety of trees so as to forestall any future infestations we might encounter.
Speaking of new infestations, we just recently have learned Ohio has joined with four other states to deal with an Asian longhorned beetle infestation. This bug does damage to maple trees. As we learn more, I will pass the information along to you.
Wage and hour restoration. In May 2009, the administration cut hours and/or pay for our non-represented employees, which resulted in a 7-percent wage decrease for these people. At that time it was necessary because we knew we would be collecting less income tax revenue in the coming months.
The hope was this would be just for a short period and that the administration would restore these cuts as soon as possible. So that the employees knew what to expect, I outlined certain financial benchmarks which, when reached, would precipitate the restoration of the lost wages.
These benchmarks finally have been met - most notably the increases in income tax collection and our projected year-end carry over, which is looking healthier than I had anticipated. Therefore, I recently asked City Council to restore the hours for the non-salaried personnel in early July.
If our tax collections continue to improve, I intend to ask that salaried workers' wages be restored early this fall.
This does not mean the city's finances are in great shape. We are going to continue to face tough times ahead. The state is finalizing its biennial budget, which projects the city will lose about $65,000 in local government funding yet this year and at least $125,000 next year.
Also, there is discussion about reducing and/or eventually eliminating the inheritance tax by the state legislature. In some years, we collect as much as $500,000 in these estate taxes. These measures, if adopted in Columbus, would leave large holes in our local budget which would have to be addressed by City Council.
However, I believe it is prudent at this time to make the wage restorations for our non-represented employees for two reasons:
The administration made a promise to our hourly and salaried workers. This must be honored. They have worked very hard these past two-plus years to keep city services at a high level and need to see the "light at the end of tunnel."
Our fiscal year 2011 projections are on target and can sustain these wage restorations through the end of year.
No one is promising that employee concessions and wage reductions are out of the picture for next year, but, if Council approves, we need to restore the level playing field for all employees so any new rounds of budget cutting discussions will be fair to all. In the meantime, City Council and the administration will be looking for alternative ways to continue to provide the maximum benefit of services to our residents.

Based on hundreds of interviews and documents, this book chronicles the life of Barack Obama and the forces that shaped him, from early childhood through his adult years, as he became the first black president of the United States. In it the author reveals the real story of Obama's beginnings: child of a black man from Luoland in Africa and a white woman born in Texas. He charts the fortunes of the two disparate families, polar opposites in every way, which produced these two extraordinary individuals, who met briefly in Hawaii, never cohabited, and married only to legitimize the child born of that union. At the heart of Obama's psyche and his political beliefs, and therefore his presidency, is his lifelong struggle to understand the extreme duality of his identity.

Jim Burke – Oneonta, NY
WebHostingSupport.com came to me asking if they could provide my company with support for 1-month free of charge to hit the ground running. At first I was quite skeptical; new company, how could this impact my business, but as it turns out – it was one of the better moves I have made! The techs have a great concept of the industry. Its great to speak to them about issues and actually understand what they say. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Zach Duke will return to the mound at Blair County Ballpark on Monday for a rehab appearance, six years after dominating Eastern League hitters for a fantastic Curve team.
That 2004 squad finished 85-56 and lost to New Hampshire in the Eastern League Championship Series, marking the franchise's only appearance in the league finals.
That team has always been considered the best in Curve history. Until this year.
Article Photos
Mirror file photo by Gary M. Baranec
Zach?Duke pitches against Erie in the 2004 Eastern League divisional playoffs.
Now there's a debate.
Getting one thing out of the way first: The 2004 Curve squad during the month of August was, without question, the best we've ever seen.
From Brad Eldred bombing home run after home run and driving in 50 runs, to Duke baffling hitters, that team during that month would beat any other Curve squad from any point during the first 12 seasons.
But considering everything from opening day on, right now the nod would go to this year's club.
After 81 games in 2004, the Curve were 50-31. This year's team is 52-29 and has the best record in all of professional baseball.
The '04 club got off to an 11-12 start, then caught fire under manager Tony Beasley.
This year's team has never struggled at any point, getting off to a 7-1 start and rolling over EL competition.
Offensively, the 2004 squad gets the edge. That team featured Jeff Keppinger hitting .400 in late June, Josh Bonifay belting clutch homers and Chris Duffy and Nate McLouth carrying the top of the order. Once Eldred came on board, the offense was phenomenal.
This year's team gets the edge from a pitching standpoint. All five starters this season have a legitimate chance to pitch in the majors, and Rudy Owens and Bryan Morris have a chance to be special.
Other than Duke, the '04 team had only one starter do anything in the majors - Ian Snell - while the rest of the rotation for most of the year included Landon Jacobsen, Mike Connolly, Bryan Bullington and Bobby Bradley.
This year's bullpen also is better than the one in 2004. Daniel Moskos, who's now in Triple-A, was lights out, and Michael Dubee has been superb, as well. Derek Hankins and Tony Watson also have excelled.
It's a tough call, and with plenty of season left, things may change. With Moskos and outfielder Alex Presley gone, this year's team still has to prove it can win at this kind of pace with others stepping up.
The 2004 club topped out at 30 games above .500. This year's team has a very good chance to beat that, but there won't be any Eldreds or Dukes coming up in the second half to help out.
The most important thing won't be known until September.
The 2004 club couldn't deliver the first championship in franchise history, so this year's team can cement its legacy by doing so.
Then there will be no debate.

Alabaster (Shelby County) EF-0 Tornado
April 15, 2011
National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed the damage in Alabaster. It has been determined that the damage was consistent with a tornado. Winds were estimated around 70 mph. This tornado was witnessed by several residents including police officers. A weak tornado touched down in Alabaster at the Evangel Church on Thompson Road. The tornado tracked northeastward and lifted near Highway 31 at the Alabaster City Hall. The most concentrated damage occurred along 8th Street SW and 6th Street SW. In this location, several trees were knocked down and several landed on homes. Much of the tornado damage path was much weaker damage and was generally limited to broken tree limbs. The tornado damage path was 1.37 miles long and was 50 yards wide at its widest point.
A Tornado Warning was in effect from 428 pm until 530 pm.

The news of the 31-year-old's death from an overdose of heroin and alcohol came as a profound shock to those who were close to him, and many, including his father, Joe Monteith, continue to mourn his loss deeply.
"I still miss him very much and I still have the empty feeling," Joe told ET Canada.
Unfortunately, Joe (who divorced Cory's mother, Ann McGregor, in 1989) was excluded from his son's funeral. "I didn't get to go to his viewing, which would have meant a lot," he said.
Courtesy Joe Monteith
Cory and Joe were estranged for much of their lives but had begun to rebuild their relationship a couple of years before Cory died. Still, the pair were not in contact at the time Cory went to rehab in March 2013. "The only thing I knew," Joe said, "was through watching [the news]."
Joe also spoke about Cory's costar and girlfriend at the time of his death, Lea Michele. (Michele, 27, is now dating aspiring actor and model Matthew Paetz.)
"She's a beautiful young woman, she's just getting to the top of her career and I don't expect her to go out and do it alone," Joe said. "She should enjoy life. She had a good time when she was with Cory, from what I understand, but life's gotta go on."
Despite Cory's addiction, his father remembers him as a "likable, approachable" man. "If he was in the room, you'd be smiling," he said.
Although a year has passed, Joe's distress over his son's death lingers. "He enjoyed life, that's why I was so shocked about the outcome of everything," he said. "He just seemed to enjoy life overall and then all of a sudden he's gone."

Everything connects to everything. In this case, we are talking about the AirSport Altitude Alerter, aircraft transponder and altitude encoder; plus the Air Traffic Control ground equipment and TCAS gear now used in airliners. In order to understand how the AirSport Alerters work, we need to discuss a little about the system overall.
First there was radar. It bounces a radio signal off the aircraft, and measures how long it takes to make the trip. This works, not only on planes, but on trucks and weather and so on. To keep extraneous echoes off the controller's scope, the FAA developed ATCRBS, or Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System. The "beacon" is what we call a transponder. It isn't radar at all, but it comes up on the same scope and the controller calls it radar. ATCRBS sends out an "interrogation" and the transponder in the aircraft replies. It is this reply that is used by the AirSport Altitude Alerter.
There are two types of interrogations and two replies. If the interrogation is Mode A, the reply is a coded pulse stream consisting of the four digit Squawk code. Mode A means squawk. But if the interrogation is Mode C, the transponder replies with coded pulses containing the altitude.
Mode C interrogations also come from TCAS. This collision avoidance equipment installed in airliners asks other aircraft for their altitude. It is possible to be out of range of ground based radar, but still be responding to an airliner with TCAS.
All transponders use the same data encoding scheme and transmit on the same frequency of 1090 MHz. This commonality is what allows you to use the AirSport in any aircraft. The receiver in the AirSport Alerter is tuned to 1090 MHz and it picks up the data.
There is no difference between Mode A and Mode C data. They are identical. The ground equipment asks for a squawk and they interpret the reply pulses as a squawk. Or, they request altitude and decode the reply as altitude. It's easy for them, since they know what they requested.
Inside the Airsport Alerter, it is a more difficult task. Sorting Mode A from Mode C is an important part of the microcomputer's job. There are 4096 squawk codes, and 1280 of them also decode as altitudes. This gives a range, in 100 ft steps, from -1200 to 126,700 ft.
The Airsport Alerter produces audible warnings via the headset and/or aircraft audio system. It also provides a direct, audible warning from the internal horn located on the back panel. The headset tones use a variety of distinctive sounds, and are adjustable in volume. The HORN switch on the front panel turns all the sounds off and enables the pilot to quickly silence the Airsport unit when needed.
At 900 ft. prior to reaching the selected target, a single tone sounds. When the target is reached, a single tone is again heard. After reaching target altitude, any deviation outside the tolerance zone produces warnings. The tolerance zone is user selectable. If the aircraft climbs above or below the tolerance zone, a musical trill is heard for each one hundred feet of deviation from target. These fly up and fly down tones are repeated every ten seconds until the altitude is within tolerance.
Inside the PRO is the 1090 MHZ receiver, a microcomputer, and the circuitry required to display the data, make the warning tones, and so on. The antenna is contained within the case.
The Airsport Altitude Alerters are very easy to use and will work in any aircraft, with any headset, in nearly any location. There are a variety of other features that you will use every time you fly, such as setting a Descent Altitude and calculating your Rate of Climb.

NFL Officials to Communicate Using New System
NFL head of officiating Dean Blandino told ?TheMMQB.com that starting this season, NFL officials will have an easier way to communicate with each other during games. The League has developed a communication system that allows the officials to talk when they?re far away from each other on the field.
?We?re going to implement an?official-to-official communications system, so all seven officials can communicate wirelessly,? Blandino said. ?Each official will have an earpiece, a microphone, and just a little radio pack where they can communicate in a closed system, encrypted.?
Officials can still huddle up and get together to discuss close calls. But the advantage to this new technology is that officials will be able to talk to each other just before the ball is snapped, to make sure everyone knows which players to be watching.
?We?ve tested this the last two years, and we feel it gives us better communication, more efficient communication pre-snap?when you?re talking about coverages, especially downfield when you have three downfield officials,? Blandino said. ?Who?s covering what receiver? Now they read the formation, they decide which receiver they?re going to cover, but there?s no check and balance. They?re 30, 40 yards away from the other officials they might need to talk to. Now they can communicate. I?ve got the widest guy, I?ve got the second guy inside.?
It also helps that when there is a pass interference call downfield, the referee doesn?t need to run all the way to the other end of the field. He can just stay where he is and tell the ref what the call is.
There are still other issues up for debate at the league meetings. One of those topics is whether the owners will allow the league?s officiating office to assist the refs in determining instant replays. But the communication among the officials on the field will definitely be a much needed transition.

Well, unfortunately they often resort to Plan B. Take this seemingly sensational story in The Record or Hackensack this weekend.
The premise: Local pols being shocked - Shocked, I say! - that Bergen County uses an equalization formula before levying the county Open Space Tax of 1 cent per $100.
Equalization is a process by which the tax base of every town is put on a level playing field. This step is necessary because New Jersey's antiquated system for tax administration allows communities to go many years between revaluations. And that means the tax assessment from one town can't be compared to another without first being adjusted.
But that's so boring! Perhaps the voters would rather hear something brash and exciting about property taxes instead. Like this comment on equalization:
"It's the most misleading, fraudulent thing I've ever seen in a tax bill," said Bogota Mayor Steven Lonegan. "They did it without explanation," Lonegan said. "Without any warning. Behind my back."
Now that is quite a powerful soundbite. You'd think that Lonegan's constituents were being Open Space Taxed out of town.
But drat. A quick check of the actual numbers shows the more pedestrian truth: County Open Space Taxes in Bogota in 2006 were a total of $76,094, representing less than half a penny of every property tax dollar paid. In a town where the average homeowner is taxed more than $6,600, the county Open Space Tax amounts to about $30.
If you're wondering why the local pols in the story are really in a tet, go back to the first paragraph: The county is asking voters in November to increase the Open Space Tax.
This is part of the democratic process. But if you're the Mayor of Mayberry, it also means the county is going directly to the voters -- or as Lonegan might say, behind your back -- and asking for a tax increase. And you're the one who has to field all the complaints about high property taxes.
Perhaps if we had a political culture where elected officials felt safe and secure in explaining complicated matters to the voters, such matters wouldn't be such a big deal.
The claim in the story that the county has secretly collected double Bogota's fair share of the tax is based on the fact that the community's tax roll is now down to close to 50 percent of market value. So when the county equalizes Bogota to bring it up to par with other communities, the equalized levy is about double the actual assessments.
The irony being that in most states that have the property tax, it would be considered bad government practice to levy taxes using a tax roll that is so far removed from real values.
But in this case, Mayor Lonegan would like to be rewarded for having such an old tax roll. Based on the views Lonegan expresses, the owner of a $300,000 house in Bogota should pay county taxes as if the house were worth $150,000.
As one Bergen County freeholder explains in the story:
"If you don't equalize it, then residents of a community that was assessed 10 years ago are going to be paying based on the value of property 10 years ago, versus the value of property now," said Freeholder David Ganz, a member of the Open Space Trust Fund Advisory committee and chairman of the freeholders budget and finance committee. Using the equalized value "allows you to be conversant," Ganz said, "and look at it from the standpoint of talking about apples to apples and oranges to oranges."

Tuesday was 67 and sunny in Michigan and yesterday was 38 and snowy. So I spent the day inside catching up. It felt great to get so many things checked off my to do list that have been there for quite a while now. Today is another full day, volunteering in the morning at the boys school and then double meetings one in the afternoon and one in the evening.
For now here is my unofficial review of Sof Sole Fit insoles. I received these insoles as a prize for a challenge that I am doing as one of the weekly winners.
**Disclaimer: I was not asked to do review this product by the company. I am choosing to do so on my own.
The FIT series uses three distinct arch types and tuned high rebound foam to allow our product to work in conjunction with your foot type.
Sof Sole Fit insoles work with your specific foot type to promote your foot's natural range of motion, improving footwear fit, performance and comfort.
I won these in the challenge I was asked my arch type and shoes size. I visited the Sof Sole website and followed the instructions and determined I was a neutral arch.
The directions said to replace the current insole of the shoe with the Sof Sole. The FIT soles fit perfectly in my shoe and were easy to put in.
I wore the FIT soles in my shoes for a week's worth of workouts and to be completely honest they are not for me. I didn't like the way they felt. They at times made my feet hurt. I never hit a point in my workouts where I forgot they were there. I found them to be very stiff and hard in my shoes. In high school I wore prescription orthotics which were made out of hard plastic, not a lot of give so it is not that I wasn't familiar with the feel of a hard arch support. The FIT soles for me were too hard and took some of the cushion out of my shoe during my runs.
These may be good for others who like or require more arch support.

A plane flown by adventurer Steve Fossett has been missing since Monday night, federal aviation officials say.
"The Civil Air Patrol is looking for him. One problem is he doesn't appear to have filed a flight plan," Ian Gregor, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman in Maryland, told the Associated Press.
A massive rescue mission involving 13 aircraft doing "grid" searches over hundreds of square miles in western Nevada in progress to look for Fossett. At the moment, the rescuers are being impeded by the high winds in the area, but if they worsen, the weather conditions could hinder the search, Maj. Cynthia S. Ryan of the Civil Air Patrol said at a press conference Tuesday.
Ryan added that it is "not uncommon" for no flight plan to be filed out of a private airstrip – "especially if you don't plan on going far" – and conditions were optimal Monday.
Fossett, 63, took off from a private airstrip known as Flying M Ranch, 30 miles south of Yerington, Nev., at about 9 a.m. local time Monday, with enough fuel for four to five hours of flight, but plans to return by noon, according to the Civil Air Patrol. The search for him and his aircraft – a blue and white Citabria Super Decathalon single-engine aircraft with orange stripes and blue sunburst designs on top of the wings – began at 6 p.m.
The "well-known, durable" airplane is capable of aerobatic maneuvers, which Fossett is not a fan of, Ryan said.
In 2002, Fossett became the first person to fly solo around the world in a balloon. Three years later, he became the completed the first solo, non-stop, non-refueled airplane trip around the world.
He's credited with 115 world records or world firsts, and holds official world records in five sports, according to his Web site.
UPDATE: Adventurer Steve Fossett Is Missing

County taking a bigger bite out of dog owners' wallets
August 11, 2013
LISBON — Dog owners will pay an extra $2 per license starting next year, an increase Columbiana County commissioners are blaming in part on recent changes made by the state legislatur....
The county dog shelter is doing a good job and I won't mind paying the increase, especially if it allows even one dog to continue living. The volunteers do a great job. I was there last year to rescue a dog and the animals all appeared in great shape and well cared for. As for the 3 year and lifetime, set the additional revenue in a special interest bearing account and withdraw 10 bucks a year for each 3 year and lifetime licence sold. A good dog owner won't cheat. and bad dog owners don't even licence the dog

Early Morning Intimacy
He touches her,
holds her close,
more than when
he was a macho man.
Now when they
awaken during the night
they touch hands,
squeeze, stroke, caress.
This morning when the
clock radio played,
she smiled, came around
the bed, lifted the
covers a little, rubbed
still-swollen feet.

Everybody Loves Raymond - Season Four
- Directed by Gary Halvorson
===Story=== Ray Barone (Ray Romano) enjoys a successful career as a sportswriter and has a stable, happy family life with a loving wife and three great kids. Unfortunately for Ray, he can't shake the attention of his overbearing parents who live across the street, but spend so much time at the Barone family residence that they might as well live there. Ray's parents love to meddle in his affairs, often with hilarious consequences. Meanwhile, his loser brother, Robert (Brad Garrett), also loves to drop by Ray's place to complain about his life, a habit that exasperates everyone else in the beleaguered family. A hugely popular sitcom from CBS, EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND began in 1996, and the ratings soon soared, placing the show among the Top 10 most watched shows in the country. The fourth season is collected here in its entirety. ===DVD Features=== *Available subtitles: English, Spanish, French *Available Audio Tracks: English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo), French (Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo), Spanish (Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo) *24 episodes on five discs *Commentary by series creator Phil Rosenthal, Ray Romano, Brad Garrett, Patricia Heaton, and writers Lew Schneider and Aaron Shure on four episodes *Bloopers *Deleted scenes *Number of discs: 5

I encourage you to vote for Kevin Korenthal for Castaic Lake Water Agency Board of Directors.
There has been more visibility than usual for this position in the current election due to the ill-advised Frank Ferry letter to Kevin's employer regarding his candidacy.
That aside, there are other pressing issues regarding water in this valley — issues to which I believe Kevin will bring a fresh perspective for the citizens of Santa Clarita.
Water quality and reasonable rates are vital to all of us. I urge you to familiarize yourself with Kevin's position on these issues.
Historically, the Santa Clarita Valley has had reasonable rates, but that has changed dramatically over the last decade.
In 2000, a typical water user paid about $30 per month. By 2010, it was up about 85 percent to $55 a month.
Additionally, rate increases have already been approved that will further raise your rates in 2011 and 2012.
By 2012, that same water bill will be nearly $70, which is 2.2 times what it was in 2000. These increases have far outpaced the inflation rate.
Unfortunately, the CLWA board has been relatively quiet on the subject; even Kevin's opponent, who opposes subsidies for future development from current customers, could hardly defend these changes as being necessary to cover normal increases.
Without strong leadership, things will get worse.
With the issue of the chloride content of our valley's wastewater, the Regional Water Quality Control Board is threatening significant fines for our discharge into the Santa Clara River.
If the CLWA doesn't take a stronger leadership role, we may end up cleaning up the discharge rather than improving the quality of the water supply to the SCV.
It's time for an improvement. Vote for Kevin Korenthal. He's passionate, hardworking, honest and fiscally conservative.

Right now my plugs go from my wii into the back of my Sony TV. The only sound I get is out of the TV. Is there a way to get sound out of the receiver that I have hooked up to my tv?
Hook the audio from the Wii to your receiver (the red and white plugs)

Yeah but the three wires can be split just pull them apart thats why its not just one wire. but if thats still not long enough you can get extensions things from electronic stores mainly musicstores and Pcworld.

"I love going to the White House," Jerry Weintraub says. "I get tears in my eyes every time I walk into the Oval Office. It's awesome. You think, 'How many people in the world get a chance to shake hands with the President and Vice-President and talk to them?' Listen, I cry when I hear Hail to the Chief."
No one who knows the showbiz superagent could doubt for a millisecond the sincerity of those tears welling in Jerry Weintraub's eyes. Some 20 years ago Weintraub was a kid sorting mail at the William Morris Agency in Manhattan. He overheard two MCA executives discussing an opening for a talent agent. He applied for the job and got it. Today Weintraub, 44, is one of the most powerful figures in the entertainment industry. An elegantly dressed impresario of the glittery and the glamorous, he is also Hollywood's Washington connection in the Reagan Administration.
Weintraub knows everyone. As a personal manager he runs an incredible musical stable: John Denver, Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, John Davidson, Wayne Newton, the Beach Boys, the Moody Blues and the Carpenters. He has produced more than 50 concerts for Frank Sinatra. His credits as a movie producer include Nashville and Oh, God! As a political kingmaker, he has raised millions for candidates ranging from JFK to George Bush. "Every door in this business is open to me," Weintraub says without exaggeration, "because people know I get things done."
Weintraub in motion—and he is always in motion—is a wonder. His 10-hour days begin on the phone in his chauffeur-driven Rolls en route from his Malibu home to his office in Beverly Hills. His newest projects are a Broadway musical—Weintraub's first—about the life of Jimmy Durante and a sequel to his latest movie, Diner, about a place where college kids hang out. Diner will be released early this year.
Weintraub's determination is legendary. His wife, retired 1950s torch singer Jane Morgan, recalls that in the mid-'60s he called Col. Tom Parker nearly every day for a year, begging to promote Elvis. Finally Parker agreed—but only if Weintraub hand-delivered a $1 million check to the colonel's Las Vegas office the next day. Weintraub did, and Presley became one of his biggest clients. Since then the stars have come to Weintraub. Six years ago Dylan called Jerry up on a Sunday morning and asked him to be his manager. The Carpenters chose him because, Richard Carpenter recalls, "we heard Jerry was somebody who actually molded careers—like Brian Epstein did with the Beatles."
Weintraub's detractors credit his rise to sheer chutzpah, plus the ability to make financial offers no one can refuse. "People like me invest time and money in an unknown act," fumes promoter Jim Rissmiller. "Weintraub comes along and steals them away. I worked with the Bee Gees for seven years, until they did Saturday Night Fever. Then Weintraub offered them the moon to do a national tour."
The son of a traveling gem salesman, Weintraub grew up in a business-conscious household in the Bronx. "My father told me, 'Only two things are important at the end of the week: how much you owe the bank, and how much you have in it.' " After three years in the Air Force, Weintraub enrolled at Manhattan's Neighborhood Playhouse on the Gl Bill. He studied acting in the same group as James Caan and Elizabeth Ashley, but quit when he realized he had more ambition than talent. For a while he worked as a page at NBC, then joined William Morris and MCA.
One of his first clients was his future wife, whose biggest hit was Fascination. For three years, Jane says, "neither of us thought of the other in a romantic way. Then one night Jerry called and asked if he could come over. We started talking. I said to myself, 'You're really in love with this guy.' It was like a thunderbolt."
They married in 1965; it was her third trip to the altar, his second. Now Jane devotes herself to caring for the couple's three adopted daughters, Julie Caroline, 7, Jamie Cee, 4, and Jody Christine, 17 months. (Michael, 19, Weintraub's son by his previous marriage, is a student at Berkeley.) The Weintraubs' life-style befits the family of a mogul. Blue Heaven, their Malibu estate, boasts tennis courts, an Olympic-size swimming pool and a 16-room house painted robin's-egg blue. They also own homes in Maine (where friends George and Barbara Bush live nearby), Beverly Hills, Palm Springs and New York.
Weintraub runs four miles a day and rides his Tennessee walker, Starwoods Diamond, a birthday gift last year from John Denver. He also exercises his social conscience by putting on political fund raisers for both Democrats and Republicans, which are considered Hollywood's most opulent. "I don't get anything out of it," he says. "I have everything I want in my life. I want to help those who don't." One gala for California Republican Mike Curb's gubernatorial bid was straight out of The Last Tycoon. Guests stepped from their limos and strolled down a red carpet to the Weintraubs' home. On the lawn a 200-member marching band played the theme from Fame. Says Weintraub: "Anybody in this country can succeed if they try."
Superagent Jerry Weintraub Does It His Way for Sinatra, Denver, Dylan & Co.
