These are anxious days for tens of thousands of runners in the Midwest, those about to run one or more marathons in the next couple weeks - the Lakefront Marathon in Milwaukee and the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon on Sunday, the Whistlestop Marathon in Ashland on Oct. 10 and the massive Bank of America Chicago Marathon on Oct. 11.
More than 60,000 runners will take the starting lines of those races, and all of them have cut back their training for the taper phase. That allows them to tap unused physical energy and apply it to fretting.
Doubts are racing through their minds: "Why didn't I do another long run? What if that IT band flares up again around mile 16? If I only ran 20 miles in my training, how can I run another 6.2 on Sunday? Will that sniffle turn into a cold? What should I eat? What should I drink? And how much?"
Similar thoughts are rattling around in my head, as I approach my first ultra, the Glacial Trail 50K on Oct. 11. Luckily, collecting the advice of some top-notch veterans for a piece in today's paper helped ease my worries.
Their words of wisdom focused on an ultra distance, but they certainly apply to 26.2 miles.
The "Drop Bag" is a collection of news and events from the Off the Couch sporting world.
The name refers to the drop bags that competitors use to get their post-race necessities from the start line to the finish line of point-to-point races. Looks like an M80 and three bottle rockets hidden in the bottom.
Drink your milk: Studies found that upper-level bike racers have lower bone density than others in their age group, suggesting that complete dedication to the sport may lead to brittle bones and osteoporosis. Recreational riders and athletes who mix in more weight-bearing activities, running and weight-lifting, can avoid the bone density losses.
Runs on the Fourth: Opportunities abound for runners looking to race before launching their Independence Day celebrations. Among the options, the Fox Firecracker in Kaukauna serves as the 5K race in the Badger State Games.
Kris Hinrichs from the Lakefront Marathon recommends the River City 4th Fest 5K in Waterford.
Carolyn Smith covered 62 miles in 8 hours, 7 minutes on Saturday to set a personal best over the distance and score a top 10 finish in the IAU 100K World Cup in Torhout Belgium.
The Marquette University doctor helped the U.S. women's team win the gold medal in the team competition.
Smith, 43, has paced herself among the nation's top ultra marathon runners for much of the decade, after her first Ice Age Trail 50 in 2002. Her miler's speed and tempo training have been key assets in her international success.
In Belgium, she knocked roughly nine minutes off her previous best in the 100K and established herself among the world's elite. Her time, though, was a bit off the seven hour, 45-minute goal she had set going into the race.
Kami Semick, of Bend Ore., won the women's race in 7 hours, 37 minutes and Devon Crosby-Helms was fourth in 7 hours, 59 minutes. Smith was the fourth finisher for the dominant U.S. team.
The vast majority of runners would be thrilled to maintain a pace of 7 minutes 30 seconds per mile in their next 5K race.
In her next outing, Carolyn Smith plans to run that speed for 62 miles.
The mind-boggling effort would put her across the finish line of the 100-kilometer World Cup race in 7 hours 45 minutes, a time the 43-year-old expects would put her in the top 10; one of the world's best ultra marathoners. The International Association of Ultrarunners championship will be in Torhout, Belgium, on June 19.
Smith was named to her fourth USA Track & Field World Cup Team on May 18, a day after she broke the three-hour barrier in the Cellcom Green Bay Marathon. The lead physician for the Marquette University athletic teams finished eighth in an exceptional women's field.
More importantly, the run in Green Bay reinforced Smith's confidence that she will be able to maintain a pace fast enough to carve 30 minutes off her previous best time over 100 kilometers.
Looking over some of the weekend race results, I found another example of ultra marathon competitors running against the norm.
The finishers in the 50-mile race in the Ice Age Trail Run on Saturday outnumbered their less-ambitious counterparts in the 50-kilometer race by almost two-to-one, showing a long-distance preference that runs counter to the typical split in events offering marathon and half-marathon options.
Journeys Marathon in Eagle River is a good example. The record-setting field for the event included 105 finishers in the full marathon and 425 in the half-marathon. Another 229 tackled the 5K.
In the Southern Kettle Moraine State Forest, 202 runners followed Zach Gingerich across the finish line of the 50-mile run. Gingerich posted a time of 6:23:35, an average of 7:41 per mile.
Christine Crawford, running on her home turf, easily paced the women's field in 7:33:42.

Scotty and Lauren push 'Idol' to big year-to-year gains
Fast National ratings for Wednesday, May 25, 2011.
So America was interested in Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina after all? One day after ratings pundits carped about year-to-year drops for the last "American Idol" performance episode of the season, the FOX talent show capped off its 10th season with a big finale bump, dominating Wednesday.

What if they held a presidential debate and hardly anyone watched?
That could be the case in the Philadelphia area tonight as the third and final meeting between Barack Obama and John McCain goes head-to-head with the Phillies' attempt to win a spot in the World Series.
Viewers who opt for politics over baseball will get to see whether Republican McCain, still lagging in the polls, can find a way to launch a comeback with just 20 days left before the election.

'Honu Kai'
Honu Kai means turtle waters. We chose this name for the property because of the abundance of green sea turtles that reside in the waters surrounding Honu Kai and the Kohala Coast.
This traditional style, two-bedroom, two-bath, Hawaiian, beach cottage comfortably sleeps five people and there are 3 twin 'punees' in the living area for extras. The house has a spacious living area which separates the two bedrooms for privacy. There is a deck with outdoor dining table and large seating area to hang out
The art work and authentic Hawaiian charm create an ambiance which is warm and relaxing. Honu Kai has steps to the ocean and tide pools where you can snorkel and dive in some of the best conditions in Hawaii.
This Puako oceanfront location boasts some of the most spectacular views along the Kohala Coast and great sunsets. A panoramic view reveals an endless ocean in front of the house and Mauna Kea mountain views behind the property.
For those looking for more adventure the Kohala Coast is a paradise for ocean-related activities, fine dining, golf and world class spa facilities.
Come enjoy the 'real Hawaii' at Honu Kai. Thank you for choosing Honu Kai as your Big Island vacation destination. We are sure that it will be a vacation that will not be forgotten as many of our guests return to Honu Kai year after year!
WE HAVE WIFI! Check your email while you watch the whales!

Professional, but personal and friendly "aloha" style. We have been around a long time and we have reputation that we are proud of.
We look forward to speaking with you soon.
Honu Kai has been in our family for two generations and is a very special place for us.
This is one of the bet snorkeling spots in Puako...some say Puako is the best diving/snorkeling area in the Hawaiian Islands. There is a channel through the tide pools which takes you right out to the reef. We love the quality relaxation time here. Honu Kai is a retreat for us!
Last summer we spend 4 nights with our family in this house. It was very nice, the vieuw was great and every morning we had breakfast with huge turtles. The house was clean and had everything we needed. If we go again to this Island we definitly want to stay here again.
We rented this house for ourselves, our son and daughter in law and toddler. The location in Puako is perfect! We could swim between the rocks in a sandy section just down the beach, explore tide pools right in front, and snorkel with the numerous turtles without driving. Within driving range, a mere 5 minute drive away, are three beautiful and unique beaches -- Beach 69, Haupuna Beach, and Mauna Kai Beach (in front of the resort but open to public). Puako has a small general store, but nearby Waimea has everything else one could need, including a great brew pub -- the Big Island Brewhaus. Mostly, we enjoyed our location so much we were happy sitting on the sea wall enjoying the tropical breezes and incredible sunsets. The house is not new or fancy or remodeled, which we were fine with. There's a lot to be said for a beach bungalow! It was clean and comfortable and had most everything we needed including beach chairs, towels, etc. There is an ant issue in the kitchen which we were aware of from reading other reviews -- a very typical problem on the islands and not a big deal to us. The lawn area is perfect for a toddler and the sea wall was helpful as a border to the bay. We loved putting our chairs up on the sea wall and watching the turtles swim and come ashore each evening. We would definitely return and continue our explorations of the Big Island! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
We enjoyed our stay here THOROUGHLY! Complete relaxation with no worries or headaches...can't beat the ocean air and sound of the surf as you wake up. Puako is a very special place- somewhere you can leave all your troubles behind and just soak up the sun-kissed, salt-infused energy, and a calm you've never felt in your life. This house encompasses all of those things and also makes you feel at home, wherever home may be.
Here are the facts about this rental
Over ran with MICE, COCKROACHS and ANTS.
These photos must of been taken YEARS ago.
Dingy and dirty, the owners have put nothing back into this place.
Mattress in the "master suite" was dirty with huge tears in the box spring, there were mice in the closet and cockroachs on the bed.
We've rented "rustic" Puako homes before but this was the absolute worst.
We left and aloha Debbie refunded the rest of our money. We shook out all of our clothes check the bags for stowaways and GOT OUT.
Shame on aloha Debbie and the owners of this rental!
In April of this year, my boyfriend and I spent a week in Puako at this house. The house was spacious, comfortable, and wonderfully located near Hapuna, which is one of our favorite beaches in the world. The amenities at the house are great - lots of beach gear, kitchen equipment, and comfortable places to nap. The house itself is a throwback to old Hawaii -- it's not new or modern, but clean, cozy and charming. (Well, it's clean so long as you put away your food / cocktail glasses each night! Otherwise, beware of the ants.)
Each morning it was a pure delight to wake up to the sound of the ocean, brew a pot of Kona coffee, and sit on the sea wall in the backyard as the light turns golden. Walking out amongst the tide pools was one of my very favorite things to do -- so many beautiful honu and other sea creatures to watch as the sun warms the island. And the sunsets were just brilliant.
So highly recommended. Next time, we'll bring friends and share the magic.
We just returned from our wonderful week at Honu Kai in Puako, one of the most beautiful spots on the planet. This was our annual family Christmas beach holiday, which we have previously spent in Miami South Beach, Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Rico, Akumall Mexico and St. John USVI. Although we were 3 couples - ourselves and our 2 sons and girlfriend and wife - there was plenty of room for either privacy or family togetherness and this was our favorite rental of all. The fact that the house is so wide (not narrow like nearly every condo) and the yard is so huge, you have an incredible view of the ocean and feel like like you are the only ones for miles around. We especially enjoyed sitting on the little wall, watching the ubiquitous whales and turtles as well as enjoying the fantastic sunsets with glasses of wine. There were so many windows that there was always a pleasant breeze and the soothing sound of ocean waves. Meals on the porch were memorable and we enjoyed snorkeling with the turtles and fish right in front of the house. This is a comfortable house, more like your parents lake cottage than a sophisticated modern home and we loved the comfortable, casual decor but it it would not be for anyone who prefers new and modern. Everything was clean and the kitchen was well equipped but there were some problems with ants if any food was left out. After this, our group moved to a condo right on the beach in Kailua-Kona and although it was very nice, we definitely missed Honu Kai.
The people at Aloha Debbie were very friendly and helpful when there was an unavoidable problem with the house which delayed our check-in date and we highly recommend this company. We are already looking ahead for when we can return to the Big Island and we will definitely want to return to Honu Kai!

Today it's Julia Gilas. Sometimes I see a girl like this and think she'd be great to have sex with. Then I think of how much work I'd need to put in to get handsomer, richer, funnier, less fatterer, etc and just decide to jerk off.
I would JPP my hand for a piece of that
We'd all appreciate it if you put in the effort to be funnier
Realistically all you need out of those is richer. The rest doesn't matter to her as you're just this week's "paycheck".
I would love to disappoint her.
"less fatterer" ?
It's 'less fatter' John. That wasn't funny.
Actually, I think it's "less fat" but hysterical point still taken.
Very nice.
Yo Feits how does one get handsomer? Asking for a friend.
The pictures of her in the kitchen are nice.

Sounds like Max Headroom.
On the flat is one thing but going up long hills is quite another - that thing is going to run out of puff very quickly.
Hardly novel, as anyone driving a hybrid will already be aware.
And why so ugly ? Seems uk wannabe carmakers still dream of the Reliant Robin.
Might as well kill off all funding for the whole Australian education system now and be done with it, saving the taxpayer a huge bundle. Hey we might even get a tax cut !
Polling places - and staff to run and count the poll - are still needed for the non-digerati to have their say. And the government is legally obliged to provide this opportunity.
An online poll solves nothing.
Similar persistent popup messages have been reported by users in Oz as well. Fairly tricky to escape from.
Looks like Apple will have to deal with this one in a future update.
If this was true mozzies would be primary attracted to the head - or near to it. Possible perhaps if the victim is lying in bed covered in bedding.
But in Australia at least this doesn't explain why mozzies have a clear preference for exposed ankles and feet if these are available, not the face or head.
It's high time the Yarty-Farties learned confrontational pieces making a political statement are not art.
If you wouldn't live with it in your backyard it's not suitable in a public place, either.
Add sea eagles and wedge tailed eagles (at least in Oz..)
Even with revision markups Word is notoriously unstable, likely to crash or corrupt the file irretrievably.
Never, ever rely on markups in Word - the safe way is to compare two versions, before (accept all changes) and after.
Agreed Word is not WYSIWYG. It never can be (oh and wait till you change languages).
Use a pure text editor, as if it were a typewriter, or a nonlinear text editor.
Hehe more like earnest twits set the survey not realising that 50% of the respondents would find the survey rather stupid and deliberately fluff the answers., just for fun. I certainly would have.
Er... what's wrong with a good-old telephone ... while there is a record of the call being made (at the telco), the talker can (optionally) request the listener authenticate him/herself, there's no trace of the contents (the conversation) as soon as its received. The talker can also request and obtain immediate confirmation that the message has been received and understood.
And if you're worried about the record of the call, use someone else's - or a phone box.
Even better, meet in person.
Sounds like a better solution...
Ill-conceived - bigger isn't always better.
There is really no point building big tablets that approach laptop screens, when comparable laptops will slay this Samsung on every technical score (eg MacBook Air or similar ultralight notepads).
The whole point of the iPad3 and iPad Air is they are big enough and fast to do what is asked of them, and their weight gives a huge advantage over the bottom end of the laptop market (Macbook Air and similar).
OTOH going smaller doesn't achieve much as the weight of most various forms of physical protection- plus the bag you carry it in - (backshells, sleeves covers etc) approach or even exceed the weight of the device itself.
As a paraglider pilot who has had a collision with a styrofoam model aircraft in the air, the risk is real.
At the speed a paraglider file its just painful, but no lasting injury. As the speeds of real aircraft or rotating blades the damage will be catastrophic and the consequences quite serious.
From firsthand experience over the summer on 3 networks... the broadband on trains is crap - anyone with a smartphone or tablet with a 3G connection already has a better connection with more bandwidth.
Not so great - its easily defeated because both Siri and the Control Panel are accessible while its locked.
Any thief can ask Siri to activate Airplane mode immediate, after that it can't be deactivated.
Without His Steveness Apple is clearly slipping on the quality of their designs.
For iOS there are apps that do this much better - starting with OzWeather (iOS). No need to use tat awful web page.
Forget about the vertical take-off/landing nonsense - it is not necessary as well as technologically impractical and hideously expensive.
There are small personal flying machines that can take off and land in as little as 6 metres - as small as your average lounge room, have a useful ceiling for commuters and good rate of climb: powered paragliders. And there are even electric-powered paragliders, which are reasonably quiet.
As a paraglider pilot, it is possible to fly these low-speed machines in reasonably tight gaggles and formations which suggest some sort of airborne analogy of "thoroughfares" and "traffic rules" might work. Even better, these things glide reasonably well and are even able to survive (continue flying) and land safely in very small spaces with some pretty serious malfunctions in the "airframe (canopy). Their low flying speed implies a collision with the ground is usually survivable and the pilot is even equipped with a reserve parachute, for emergencies - more than can be said for most light aircraft.
That the use of powered ultra-lights, hang-gliders and paragliders is forbidden over large urban areas should give you landlubbers a clue: large numbers of flying machines over urban areas is a really, really bad idea.
Just because something is popular - as measured by the number of views - doesn't mean it's worth watching.
All it means is that millions of morons watched it.
Sorry but I don't agree with the article - from first hand experience sending individual parcels via Australia Post you CANNOT post a parcel for $1 in Australia for delivery to the door. Then there is the little matter of insurance.
It is more likely to cost upwards of $20 for say a 10cm cube, and it could be over $100 depending on its weight.
Posting a DVD to someones home is likely to cost $20 - doubling the cost of the DVD.
Posting a valuable camera lens or a small article of clothing will be $50 or more - assuming you include registered post and insurance.
Even if retailers wise-up and bypass the local wholesalers - and buy stock directly from foreign discounters - they still face a problem of paying for the overheads associated with a shopfront and staff.
One outcome will be that goods that can be easily sold over the Internet and safely delivered should cease to be sold in streetfront retail stores - exactly as iTunes and Amazon have killed CD and DVD stores, with bookshops to follow.
The only retail areas that are somewhat safer are those where the buyer really needs to inspect/try the goods (fresh food) or it must be tailored to suit the customer in some way (men's suits) or service industries like fast food, dentistry etc.
The ugly consequences of Paul Keating's 'level playing field' are finally happening. It was a fantasy and it will slowly lead to the destruction of the incomes and quality of life of ordinary people in many industries - starting with retail - the result being to drive their income and conditions of employment to parity with China and India.
The only real long term solution is a hefty import duty levied on all sales overseas at the point of sale - ie collected via the credit card or bank handling the transaction - where the transaction can be traced offshore - and the level of duty should vary according to the country of origin. This spares customs form the ugly task of opening parcels and the paperwork to collect minuscule amounts of tax on the majority of items - and it will also collect tax on items delivered electronically such as music, video/movies, and software and e-books.

- "You will, therefore, be taken to the Dune Sea and cast into the Pit of Carkoon, the nesting place of the all powerful Sarlacc."
- ―C-3PO, translating Jabba the Hutt
The Dune Sea was a vast stretch of desert on the Outer Rim planet of Tatooine. The Great Pit of Carkoon, which contained a creature known as the sarlacc, was located in the Dune Sea.[2] The Western Dune Sea was the location where the Mos Espa Grand Arena was located.[4] The palace of Jabba the Hutt[5] and the home of Obi-Wan Kenobi were located beyond the Dune Sea.[1]
According to Jawa folklore, the Dune Sea was once a genuine ocean. Although many colonists found it hard to believe that water had once flowed abundantly on Tatooine, ancient fossil-bearing rocks and eroded canyons seemed to back up the Jawas' tales.[6]

Of course, we will see Tom Brady, Arian Foster and Calvin Johnson in this year's highlights, but who will be the surprising new face that joins these greats?
Will a rookie quarterback lead their team into the playoffs, or will it simply be that breakout year for a player who has struggled to find their groove thus far?

Jan Brewer's Criminally Insane Son and His Mysteriously Sealed File
It's no secret -- not really -- that Arizona Governor Jan Brewer's son is seriously mentally ill.
During her years in the state Legislature and as a member of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, she mentioned it often in passing, and earned a reputation as a big-hearted advocate for the mentally ill who often put her conservative politics aside to do right by one of Arizona's most vulnerable populations.
But during her time as governor, she's mentioned it less. She's caved to political pressure and allowed vital services to the mentally ill to be cut.
And something funny's going on with her son's 20-year-old case. On January 9, 2009, in a very unusual move, his criminal case files were sealed. But New Times has obtained the police report behind the incident.

More on Ronald Brewer and the governor after the jump.
Ronald Brewer, 46, is not just mentally ill. He was deemed criminally insane in 1990, following a July 1989 arrest and subsequent indictment for the sexual assault and kidnapping of a Phoenix woman. According to a Phoenix Police Department report dated July 29, 1989, Brewer, then an unemployed 25-year-old, forced his way into a woman's apartment on West Indian School Road and threatened to hurt her "real bad" if she didn't engage in sexual acts, including performing fellatio.
According to a police interview with the victim, the entire ordeal lasted "approximately 20 minutes. During the assault, she feared for her life and thought the suspect was going to kill her if she did not cooperate."
Those details are not available for public inspection at county Superior Court -- even though in a typical criminal case, they probably would be. On January 9, 2009, Superior Court Judge Pendleton Gaines sealed the entire case file at the request of Ronald Brewer's attorney.
On December 1, 2008, President-Elect Barack Obama nominated then-Governor Janet Napolitano to be the head of Homeland Security. Her successor? Secretary of State Jan Brewer. Brewer assumed office as governor on January 21.
The timing is curious.
This marked the first time that Ronald Brewer's entire file was sealed. Previously, his mental-health files were sealed, which is typical. Criminal cases are rarely sealed, and then, only parts of such a case would usually be kept from the public.
Phoenix Newspapers (a.k.a. the Arizona Republic) filed a motion in July asking the judge to reconsider his January 2009 sealing order.
That motion also is under wraps. The court docket suggests that a ruling by the judge is pending.
The docket also strongly suggests that Ronald Brewer has several times over many years attempted to gain permanent release from his confinement at the state hospital in Phoenix, and has successfully won temporary release at various times.
But, as of now, he remains confined.
Last year -- even as state budget cuts were affecting tens of thousands of Arizonans -- ground was broken on a new building to house the forensics unit at the Arizona State Hospital. Governor Brewer reportedly was not in attendance on the grounds of the state hospital where her son is housed, but a member of her staff spoke, sources tell New Times.

I desire my children to have an excellent academic education, but first and foremost, I desire - no, I am desperate - for them to know this awesome God. They must know the One who gives strength to the weary, who gives hope to the hopeless, the One who is able to bring forth beauty from ashes, the One who is able to work all things for good, the One who turns weeping to joy. They must know Jesus and know Him well. I am so grateful that this is a school where my children will not only learn multiplication, they will learn about the One that multiplied the loaves and fishes. Not only will they learn division, but they will learn about the One who divided the Red Sea. They'll learn about the world and it's creations, but they will also learn about their Creator. They'll learn language and the mechanics of words, but they will also learn about the One who is the Word.

|Named in honor of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, Darwin Awards commemorate those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it.
Throwing Stones
(11 October 2000, Itim) The violent unrest in the Middle East has created a new Darwin Award winner. Alon and two friends went to the Eli junction to enjoy throwing stones at passing cars. They scored on a passing truck, then Alon walked into the street, stones in hand, to attack a passing car. The driver tried to swerve away from the stones, lost control of his car, and overturned, killing the stone thrower and severely injuring the driver. Judea and Samaria District police determined that the accidental crash was caused by the stone-throwing.
"Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."

This season of superheroes has seen the release of The Avengers and The Amazing Spider-Man, with The Dark Knight Rises arriving this weekend. Each film restores a favored crusader to his fictional world just when it needs him most. This is appropriate as we face lingering unemployment, debt crises, and international tensions that seem beyond mere mortals' ability to resolve them.
Being constrained by the laws of physics as well as generally accepted principles of reality, we can't summon masked superheroes to save us in life. But our fictional protectors can teach us to find the superheroes within.
The protagonists of this summer's films share more than crime-fighting: Each also experienced the trauma of losing his parents at an early age. Tony Stark (The Avengers' Iron Man) was orphaned by a plane crash. Peter Parker (Spider-Man) was raised by his aunt and uncle. And Bruce Wayne (Batman, also known as the Dark Knight) witnessed the murder of his parents.

Iuz Aleshkovsky's life and career in the Soviet Union were characteristic, in their unstructured variety, of the fate of many non-conformist writers and artists of his time. Following a sporadic education interrupted by war, military service and a prison sentence, Aleshkovsky made a living in Moscow first as a builder and a driver, and then, more profitably, as a writer of children's stories and screenplays for film and television. His greatest contribution to the unofficial culture of the 1950s and 1960s came in the form of songs about life and love in prison camps; they were sung not to a guitar, but to a rhythm beaten out on the table. His "Pesnia o Staline" (Song About Stalin, 1959) became immensely popular throughout the S…

ARTIST's STATEMENT
Bright colours, bold shapes, and interpreting light and shadow are my passions. As you can see by my work I explore a wide variety of subjects and different media. I find I am constantly evolving in my techniques and goals. My desire is for my art to be a never-ending process of learning and absorbing as much as I can. My happiest moment is when another soul connects with my work. I paint anything that pleases me, and if, through my paintings, the viewer has a sense of what I see and an appreciation of the same, then I am truly gratified.

My son is 15 months old and has been having temper tantrums since 12 months. Lately they've gotten really bad and I don't know what to do. Is it common to have thrown yourself on the floor, hit anyone in his way, thrown anything around him on the ground temper tantrums at this age? Does anyone have any advice to nip this in the bud?
Anyone have advice on temper tantrums?

Announcing Dr. Gene H. Moon, Conductor
May 31, 2016
Jon Cromer, president of the Longview Symphony League Board of Directors, is pleased to announce Dr. Gene H. Moon as the new conductor of the Longview Symphony. "Dr. Moon brings a strong skill set and a wide range of experiences that we believe will be a successful combination as we work to move the Symphony forward and grow our audiences. His exciting and engaging conducting style will bring a new energy to our concerts as we begin the next chapter in the 48 year history of the Longview Symphony. The Board went through an extensive and thorough selection process and engaged feedback from a variety of sources - namely our patrons and musicians. All four of the finalists were well-qualified and did an outstanding job conducting each of their respective concerts throughout the 2015-2016 season."
Dr. Moon is the Director of Orchestras and Musical Director of Opera at Stephen F. Austin State University. He is dedicated to the East Texas community. Dr Moon told us, "I am so excited about becoming part of a wonderful group of musicians and community members. I am very proud of the Longview Symphony and its service to the community and region as its premier symphony orchestra. I have admired the orchestra's history under three exuberant music directors and am humbled and honored to be chosen to continue the legacy."
Conductor and educator Gene Moon has led performances in the U.S. and abroad. As a proponent of higher education, he serves as director of orchestras at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, TX, where the Orchestra of the Pines, the university flagship orchestra, regularly performs to sold-out audiences in captivating classical subscription concerts, opera productions, choral masterworks and pops programs. Moon also serves as chair for the prestigious Schmidbauer Young Artist Competition, an annual festival inviting the most talented high school musicians from around the world to compete for prize money and a guest solo performance with the Orchestra of the Pines.
An advocate of arts education, Moon is widely sought throughout the country and overseas for his passion with young artists and orchestras. As Music Director and Conductor of the East Texas Youth Orchestras, Moon arduously works to equip musicians of younger generations to become excellent classically-trained musicians. Equally skilled in the professional setting, maestro Moon begins the 2016-2017 season as the new Music Director and Conductor of the Longview Symphony Orchestra in Longview, TX. Moon was selected for his awareness of audience development, his commitment to community outreach, and his propensity for stylish programming.
His devotion toward young musicians and charisma in sharing his passion for music are seen in his work throughout the state of Texas and beyond. He has led orchestras and performed as soloist and chamber musician worldwide. Dr. Moon is widely desired as guest conductor, with engagements including the 2016 Sewanee Music Festival, the 2016 Arkansas All-State Orchestra, an international appearance with the University of Macau Orchestra, the 2014 and 2011 Louisiana All-State Orchestra, the 2012 North Central Honor Orchestra in Oklahoma City, a 2010 engagement conducting the Gang Nam Symphony Orchestra in Seoul, South Korea, and the 2008 TPSMEA (Texas Private Schools) All-State Orchestra. In September of 2016, he will guest conduct the Orquesta Filarmónica de Medellín in Colombia.
Previous posts include the faculties at the University of Central Oklahoma, University of Oklahoma, the Mid-Del school district, and as music director and conductor of the Oklahoma Youth Symphonies.
Moon studied conducting with critically-acclaimed conductors Jonathan Shames and John Jeter, and has worked in master classes with world-renowned conductor Sergiu Comissiona. His piano studies have been guided by Jan Pokorny Steele, Lee Dai Wook, Deirdre O'Donohue, Ed Gates, and noted Van Cliburn medalist Valery Kuleshov. He earned degrees in music from the University of Central Oklahoma, New York University, and the University of Oklahoma.

About Our Awning Products
Interior shades, blinds, window tints and draperies are good for reducing glare and damage from sunlight. But they have two shortcomings. They do not affect the amount of heat inside your home once the sun rays pass inside via the window glass. Secondly they block the view outside partially or completely.
Retractable awnings and shade sails are a great way to control the flow of heat and light into your home. Your home gets shade and light to the scale you want.
Retractable AwningsRetractable awnings are versatile. You can have shade when you desire and sky, when you don't. You can extend your living space outside without the trouble and high cost of construction. You can enjoy a big area of shade at the touch of a button. It protects the carpet and furniture indoors from fading. It reduces indoor temperature by 15% and lowers sunlight and glare by 94%. They add to the look and value of your home.
Retractable awnings have simple mechanisms to adjust the pitch and consist basically of the operating mechanism, fabric and frame. By adding them, you increase the space of your home. It can also be a decorative element. Using them, you can control light and shade and enjoy outdoor activities. Long life fabric that is knitted resists fraying and tearing and is zero maintenance.

OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
OSHA News Release – Region 2
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 2 News Release: NY 105
January 9, 2001
Contact: Chester J. Fultz
Phone: 212-337-2319
The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited a West Seneca, New York, contractor and four subcontractors involved in restoration of dormitories on the Amherst campus of SUNY Buffalo, and proposed penalties of $176,620 for three alleged willful violations and 29 alleged serious violations of OSHA standards. The companies have until January 25th to contest the citations.
According to OSHA area director David E. Boyce, the action results from an investigation conducted from July 3, 2000 to January 2, 2001 following a complaint of unsafe conditions at the worksite, the Ellicot Complex on the SUNY Buffalo Amherst Campus. The general contractor, Allstate Development, Inc -- Progressive Weatherproofing Joint Venture, West Seneca, New York, and four subcontractors were engaged in re-pointing the brick exterior and working from improperly erected scaffolding that was enclosed in plastic sheeting. "The enclosure had the effect of increasing the concentration of silica dust which was released by the brick grinding," Boyce said.
OSHA alleges that the company willfully violated OSHA's respiratory protection standard by failure to conduct medical evaluations on employees wearing respirators, failure to perform respirator fit testing, and failure to train employees in respirator use. The alleged willful violations carry a proposed penalty of $132,000.
The alleged serious violations for which the Allstate-Progressive joint venture was cited included:
- failure to provide appropriate respirators, issuing incorrect respirators;
- exposing employees to airborne levels of silica four to 21 times higher than the permissible exposure limit;
- failure to provide appropriate protective personal equipment to employees using corrosive chemicals;
- failure to provide training on the hazards associated with the chemicals in use;
- failure to inform employees of the availability of exposure records and their right of access to them;
- permitting scaffold to be installed more than 14 inches from the face of the building;
- failure to provide guardrails on scaffolds;
- failure to provide safe access to all levels of the scaffold;
- permitting scaffold sections to be moved by persons not qualified to do so;
- failure to barricade scaffold areas where overhead hazards existed.
The alleged serious violations by the prime contractor carry a total proposed penalty of $14,000. The firm was also cited for failure to inspect scaffolds daily and failure to maintain the required log of injuries and illnesses, two alleged other-than-serious violations.
OSHA citations issued to the subcontractors included the following:
HIPPWrap Containment, 4070 Kearny Mesa Road, San Diego, California:
- failure to provide full decking on all scaffold levels;
- failure to provide safe access on scaffolds;
- failure to provide fall protection on scaffolds;
- failure to have scaffolds moved by competent persons;
- failure to train employees in the hazards of working from scaffolds;
- failure to provide fire extinguishers on site. The six alleged serious violations carry a proposed penalty of $8,250. The firm was also cited failure to maintain the required log of injuries and illnesses, an alleged other-than-serious violation.
Arric Corporation, 5033 Transit Road, DePew, New York:
- failure to evaluate respiratory hazards at the site;
- failure to keep site free from debris. The two alleged serious violations carry a proposed penalty of $3,250.
CME Associates, 810 Sheridan Drive, Tonawanda, New York:
- failure to keep worksite free from debris. The alleged serious violation carries a proposed penalty of $1,750.
Safespan Platform Systems, 252 Filmore Avenue, Tonawanda, New York:
- failure to keep scaffold within 14 inches of the building, an alleged serious violation with a proposed penalty of $1,500. The firm was also cited for failure to complete the required log of injuries and illnesses, an alleged repeat other-than-serious violation with a penalty of $120.
A willful violation is defined by OSHA as one committed with an intentional disregard for, or plain indifference to, the requirements of the OSHA act and regulations. A serious violation is defined as a condition which exists where there is a substantial possibility that death or serious physical harm can result. An other-than-serious violation is a hazardous condition that would probably not cause death or serious physical harm but would have a direct and immediate relationship to the safety and health of employees.
The investigation was conducted by OSHA's Buffalo area office, located at 5360 Genesee Street, Bowmansville, New York, telephone (716) 684-3891.

WebRTC Summit Early Bird Savings here!
There are many potential applications for WebRTC and for many interoperability is not a requirement. However, this does not mean that there is not a need for interoperability, particularly at the signaling level, for other applications.
Many people have dismissed interoperability as a consideration when using WebRTC - often due to the fact that their favoured use-cases do not require it (and in some cases are even hampered by it). In his session at 2nd WebRTC Summit, Peter Dunkley, Technical Director at Acision, will look at the other side and discuss the case for interoperability and explain how WebRTC can be used to enhance and extend existing services in a way provides benefits to service providers and their customers.
He will conclude with a look at some of the open-source options available today for building interoperable WebRTC applications.
Explore WebRTC Summit Sponsorship & Exhibit Opportunities !
Speaker Bio
Peter Dunkley is Technical Director at Acision. He graduated from The University of Edinburgh in 2000 with a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science. After graduation Peter worked on a PSTN switch developing signalling stacks for SS7, ISDN and similar protocols and creating advanced routing and service applications. Since 2005 he has worked mainly with SIP first leading a team developing a PSTN gateway and then managing the development of a SIP Application Server. Peter joined Crocodile RCS in September 2010 and has made numerous contributions to the Kamailio open source SIP Router project (particularly in the areas of presence, WebSocket, MSRP, and SIP Outbound) since then.

The Future of U.S.-ROK Nuclear Cooperation
This post was co-authored with Toby Dalton, co-director of the Nuclear Policy Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and Miles Pomper, senior research associate at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies.
South Korean and U.S. negotiators are on the verge of concluding a new bilateral nuclear cooperation agreement to replace the current outdated one, which has been in place since 1974. This new agreement undoubtedly will be criticized by some in South Korea because it does not give Seoul unconditional approval to enrich uranium or reprocess spent fuel. But such narrowly-focused criticism is misplaced, for it overlooks the importance of the agreement to Korea's energy security and the future of its nuclear program. Read more »

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) has proposed eliminating the requirement for public school districts to transport students, The State Journal-Register reports.
The proposal, which would also change the way reimbursements from the state to school districts are determined, is being made in response to the reduction in state funding for transportation in recent years. Reimbursements would be based on an average per-student or per-mile rate if the proposal becomes law. Districts would be allowed to charge parents a fee to make up the difference between the state reimbursement and the actual cost of transporting students.
Since 2009, funding for education transportation has dropped from $339.5 million to $205.8 million, ISBE spokesman Matt Vanover told the newspaper. Currently, districts are required under state law to offer free transportation to students who live at least a mile and a half away from their school, or who live closer but cannot walk safely to school.
