ROGERS CITY - Presque Isle County's offices could save thousands of dollars per year by switching its phone service and eliminating unnecessary lines.
The county could pay less than half of its current $3,200-per-month phone bill now that commissioners have approved a plan to switch carriers and drop a service contract. They made the decision after hearing the results of an audit of their current phone services at the board of commissioners meeting Friday morning.
Dan Konkel presented the audit, and said he found several instances where the county could save money on a new plan. Some phone lines were not being used, and the county will switch to a different dial tone provider that charges less than its current one.
In a few other cases, the county was being charged sales tax on its newly added phone lines, Konkel said.
"It's a matter of going through the bill with a fine-tooth comb," he said. "That's what I do."
Currently, 10 percent of the county's phone bill is a maintenance agreement for its phone system. Instead of paying a flat rate, Konkel and County Resource Officer Joe Libby proposed switching to an hourly one. The county's phones would be serviced by a technician based in Alpena.
"We could have them out here once a week for an hour, which I understand we've never had with telephone support, and we'd still be money ahead," Libby said.
Another change would be the addition of fax servers, Konkel said. These devices accept faxes and send them as emails to the proper department, giving county employees the choice to print them out or save the paper. It also will mean the county will need less phone lines.
In exchange for the audit and suggestions, Konkel will get half of what the county saves in its first year, he said.

Showers with some embedded thunderstorms are expected to move through New Jersey tonight ahead of a cold front moving across the eastern part of the country, but it should usher in another beautiful week of weather across the Garden State, forecasters say.
The onset of the rain is expected to be around 10 p.m., according to the National Weather Service, and as much as an inch of rain could fall by daybreak. It should be a short-lived event, however.
"With the front moving at a decent clip, precipitation should be all but over by daybreak," Larry Nierenberg, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service's Mount Holly office, wrote in his afternoon forecast. "It could linger in the far eastern zones for a bit in the early morning, but that should be about it."
After the rain moves through, beautiful weather will follow. Sunny skies are expected to dominate the coming week, while temperatures will peak in the 70s, forecasts show.

BOSTON – Understandingly, Brad Stevens entered the locker room carrying more frustration than usual.
No matter what the damage, regardless of the growing number of losses, the coach has remained proud of the way his Boston Celtics stuck together. Just last week, he discussed the connection between his players, how positive they have been. The Celtics have competed. If nothing else, they had that.
But the last two games arrived with a deep incision and left trailing blood. Boston followed a 26-point loss to Washington by dropping a nine-point decision to Philadelphia, which had lost 28 of 29.
Publicly, Stevens reacts relatively well to monstrosities like Friday night's 111-102 failure against the 76ers. He speaks in a measured tone, declines to throw any of his players under a bus, never fails to compliment the winning team. But still, his team's effort the past two games tasted like poison. He will not soon forget the feeling.
"Somewhere around forever," he replied when asked how long such a loss sticks with him. "I don't have a 24-hour rule. I probably should. I can tell you about every single one of my losses at Butler, and I could probably go through every single one this year. A lot more than wins."
Losses will help the team's lottery odds, but Stevens wants nothing to do with them. As the coach addressed his players, said Rajon Rondo, "He ripped us a little bit. Well, more than usual. That's part of it. We deserved that tonight."
Yes, they deserved it. They allowed Henry Sims to "dominate" the paint (Stevens' word, not mine), earn 18 free throw attempts, and score a career-high 24 points. They surrendered 54 points in the paint and let the Sixers shoot 50.6 percent from the field. The Celtics briefly showed life in the second quarter, and again for a short spurt during the fourth. Rondo was great for a stretch of the third, too. But every time they gathered some momentum, they allowed a putback bucket or threw the basketball to their opponents. They have now dropped 12 of 13 games, all while featuring what would be a league-worst defense if extrapolated over the entire season.
The team that at least competed is no longer competing. If we're judging by Friday's effort, the Celtics looked ready to fly somewhere warm and play as many rounds of golf as it takes to forget a miserable season.
Rondo, who admitted his team got outworked, doesn't have any concrete plans for a players-only meeting or a booming speech that might conjure memories of Any Given Sunday. But, he said, "We have to look deep. Everyone has to look in the mirror and try to pull out whatever they can give for these last six games."
"We have everything to play for," he said. "We have pride. I have pride. We have pride as a team, Celtics pride. And right now we're not displaying that at all."
The point guard committed seven of Boston's 22 turnovers, but, with 11 points, 16 assists and 11 rebounds, still managed his first triple-double of the season. He had not registered one since the night last January when he suffered a torn ACL. But still, this was not a game he – or any other Celtic – will recall fondly.
"We're not pulling in one direction right now," Stevens said, putting the blame on himself as he tends to do.
He could not even discard the idea that maybe, with the end in sight, his players have surrendered on the season.
"That may be the case," the coach said. "I hope that's not the case.
"I said in (the locker room), 'I'm going to swing, swing hard until 10 or 10:30 (p.m.) on April 16th, our last game, and I want whoever's going to swing (with me). Let's go. Let us play. Let's get after it.'
"You know, it's a long year, but sometimes you need to dial yourself back to 'it's a game that you really enjoy.' And take the outside pressure off, take the how-you're-playing-the-last-game off, and just play with a clear mind and with freedom. Sometimes that's hard to do and you don't start well. But we need to do that with the last six games. We need to play better than we've played the last two.
"Got no problem with our effort prior to these two. But these two, we got the result we deserved."
The Celtics deserved a loss to Philadelphia. Six games left.

The Malamute base is built on the shores of Lake Poikkijarvi,
Sina outdoor Sweden in the Arctic through the activity series of feature articles in April 14
Photo: Tsai Ying-yuan
In the early morning of April 13, after a simple but nutritious high-calorie breakfast we went to visit the whole team, their last night at a distance of 3 km away Sevujarvi North Lake camp when we sat sled arrived at the team camp , the majority of players are Malamute prepare breakfast. Dog food packaging, frozen stiff, need to take his ax, gruel-like, fed to sled dogs. The dogs are waiting to eat breakfast, when they scream, almost like a symphony of dogs. If you fall into the snow, the most intelligent way is to place rolling out of the woods.
I thought these players throughout with a tired, because last night they are open-air accommodation in the snow capped with a moisture-proof pad, and then got into the sleeping bag, looking up the Arctic Star of the night should be very hard to sleep at night, we did not expect to meet players all wreathed in smiles. sled dogs are boiled sausages German guy says, the equipment is very to the force, does not depend on the weather, he slept very well in the snow trough dug their own, this looking at the Polar Star, accompanied throughout the world to fall asleep with the feeling of a lifetime an American young man will say a few words in Chinese, because He is currently a sophomore majoring in international economic enrolled in a Chinese lesson, never been to China, but very eager to go, perhaps the future will choose to work in China, he said, when I was very young and his father playing outdoors, a variety of activities are involved this time to participate in the arctic fox polar crossing, opened my eyes and I know Fjallraven outdoor brand, but months, in initiating this voted Not long ago, I did not think the brand is so well and the pattern of its brand Fantastic, very unique! Finally, players, met a beautiful young woman dragging a black bag, I asked her, what is inside? Dog feces, she said with a smile. This way, players are in accordance with the requirements of the sled dog feces collected, centralized processing.
This time to participate through the whole 28 players, most of them are young people, they have time to go canvassing in the win and the other applicants voted PK Fjallraven not only sponsor their traffic accommodation is per person allotted a full range of outdoor equipment, from the beginning of the personal layer, the only equipment per capita than ten million SEK and invest more, the preparation and control of the risks of so many sled dogs and facilities can be said, organization of this polar crossing, a huge investment. Why do this? This is not just a round of 28 for outdoor enthusiasts Polar through the dream, it is hoped that the 28 players from 12 countries around the world, outdoor messenger, the Arctic understanding of experience, arctic fox, spread around the world. A young female athletes are touching the Polar partners - sled dogs. A team is Johan teaching approach, trying to the metal friction sparks to ignite dry wood chips. Much like Matt Damon friends in Sweden, called Henry, he is the product manager of the arctic fox, are presenting the wonderful features of the sleeping bag, which is what I've seen very unique Polar sleeping bag long-haired head is not only Fjallraven iconic design, but also very practical.
Conversation and these players, I am eager to personally control the sled idea more and more forced to not be within two hours after eating the dog can not depart, those of us half the players will first departure back to our accommodation, all The backpack has been installed on the sled, waiting for the sleigh. wizard assigned to us ashamed of our sled dogs are reared by hand, we are not only saving the dog cooking, force feeding, and less and they are familiar with , the establishment of the feelings of the opportunity I touched his dog's head, they looked at me very gentle, brushed against my legs. gazing few days, the dog saw feeding, it will pleased rushed to express closeness to the situation.
The sled like two wooden skis together (Imagine the double-plate fastened together, leaving the middle distance of 50 cm), barricaded with a handrail on a snowboard framework framework cast canvas backpack and supplies can be put into a canvas bag yard hand armrest control the sled feet each step on a snowboard, this is the basic position of the harness dog sledding.
In addition to the password command Malamute steering, there is no way to control the direction of Half players, and unfamiliar dogs, the wizard does not tell us the password, so we can only now behind him, followed by forward. I am with the of Fjallraven president Martin behind his sleigh, to be honest, few sled dogs with some difficulty, halfway for a dog.
Direction can not be controlled, but the speed really can control. Sled with soft and hard brake, the so-called soft brake is a black rubber, shaped like snowmobile tracks, foot up, the sled speed will slow down , the so-called hard braking, the metal strips with anchors stepped on the snow, the dog is naturally difficult to pull metal strips like car brakes, a loose pin will immediately bounce. put it plainly, is to increase the role of these brake large friction, for example, do not use the soft brake, step on hard snow sole also can play a similar effect. Additionally, there is a Department of the long rope metal anchors, to step in the snow, fixed to stop sleigh.
Pilots and the front of the sled dogs no password communicate indiscriminate use of brakes will only result in premature fatigue dog, or even injured. Sleigh experienced hand on a flat road soft brake rises to reduce the resistance of the sleigh, reduce dog burden. Generally, six or more sled dogs pull a sled, because our sled did not put on the equipment, and supplies, only to pull a four dogs completely sufficient.
Dogsled, in fact, not all dogs pull so simple, in fact, people need close coordination, not only need to co-ordinate arrangements for the dog and dog people need to take stomp, sideways and center of gravity control sled direction of action first arrangements for the dog of the division of labor, who is going to head dog, who will act as a reserve, who has entered a state of fatigue have to replace these specific arrangements are required to analyze, judgment and decision-making, followed by the sled have a sense of manipulation, even can not use a password, I figured out a few moves, to make my sled to keep up with the team. example, step on the soft brake auxiliary sled turn and double snowboarding, if you need to turn right, the focus should first moved to the left foot up, the sled is natural as well. Again, uphill one leg kicking auxiliary dog, even on steep slopes feet leave the sled, running, push the sled to aid climbing when going downhill precisely On the contrary, there is a need to determine in advance the curve and slope to prevent the sled overturned.
This is the dog? It is a 'state'? Fact, I'm curious Malamute cooling, the dog is no sweat glands, so only vomit tongue, hum panting to release body heat Why sled dogs are able to run so it does not have evolved such as human perspiration powerful cooling system, why in the polar than man's best cross-country runners can run? I carefully observed these sled dogs, they are fur fine, carry the freezing cold night curled up directly to sleep on the ice, they are the soles of the feet is too large, the pressure is too small, suitable for long-range strike in the soft snow pavement, they are long-tongued mouth, gasping for air, and still stuck his chin out, eat a snow, a snow marks left in the snow. my four sled dogs, an average of less than 3 minutes, it is necessary to eat a snow, I think, in this regard in order to heat the other hand, in order to supply water and to the hot summer months, more adverse dogs and heat, and no snow to eat, so the sled dogs, who can only leave the infirmary, to the end of September, and then start training again. Possessed with a cell phone camera sled dogs behind me, they are gasping for air, and strive forward.
There is a indecent but very crucial question: Malamute defecation during the run, drifting around, strong smell, strong winds from the Xi need face protection. Seriously, if a dog constipation attack, suddenly squat , to stop Chugong when the sled rope will be chaotic, stir together do not say, the sleigh may also hit the stop and the only dog, you must pay attention to these cases, especially with a password terminate dog emergency stop 'exercise our powers' behavior.
Good sled hand, and the dog is a partnership and cooperation between the close of such cooperation may race horse deep, unlike the Jockey mostly one-to-one 'The Horse Whisperer' so I try to figure out the way to control the sled The method, as I call the left, right, slow down, stop, largely ineffective, it could be a dog bully I do not understand Swedish. Players reach the end, sled dog tired, immediately lie down to rest.
As we start earlier, so the first 28 full members reach the end VAKKARAJARVI This is a spectacular glacial lake and finish in the ice of the frozen lake near the south bank of, Kenth the base across the resort base built on the shore side, more than 10 buildings large and small huts scattered in the pine forest, accommodation suites, bar-restaurant, sauna and toilet, storage room. ZHANG Yi-Min, Yang Wei and I were assigned to the 3rd huts. fact, this is with living room, two bedrooms, two relatively independent of the upper bunk. living room with large battery-driven electric heaters, also can fire heating stove. three of us sat around the table in the living room side, for under the the Polar series down underwear. Stopped at the end of the sled.
Lunch in the spire of a Sami tent, a simple tomato salmon, coupled with flat bread (the so-called flat bread, soft bread) roll cheese may be due to the pedal all the way sled sake, I eat very fragrant. I do not know who say hello to the whole team. caught on camera went to meet the 28 players, more than 180 sled dogs, arranged by the word knife flag at the finish gate, a scene memorable some players to tears, some two embrace, some leaned over and stroked Malamute, really touched people on the first day caught in a snowstorm, but 28 players survived. Fjallraven top equipment under-equipped, under the guidance of the Swedish Polar survival master Johan, 28 original ordinary people, in the Arctic, completed a very ordinary through. congratulate them on their dream has come true! Only the first dog did not like the other partners fell to the ground to rest, still standing alert.
Through the activities came to an end, leaving only the carnival. Sauna, steam steaming, glacial lake lakeside ice pond dug two meters square. Different customs of the 12 countries, the organizers specially arranged for separate male and female sauna, reflecting the kind of respect for other cultures. Ladies first really the girls soak into the ice water, because we have heard in a cabin called 'miserable' so rare polar sauna, I also can not miss, as to whether To jump into the frozen lake, to be honest, I also see step by step.
Naked in the locker room, surrounded towel into the opposite sauna room filled with people, through the activities team leader Johan did not steam for a while, go out naked, downhill walk along the snow on the frozen lake. Norwegians female camera, see ha ha straight music. Johan, is the Swedish outdoor legend, was responsible for the Swedish special forces, outdoor training, to write two polar soldiers training materials, or military school textbooks. polar glacial lakes, but for him, a piece of cake, and pretty soon, the whole body flushed into the sauna in her hand, holding paragraphs firewood, Tim stove fire. Soon, a Finnish man, a man of Norway, Denmark, men, Swedish men have been out of the hut, though silent also pressure the Chinese men I can not down but go you! The Arctic, 3 times down to the frozen lake, is crazy experience unforgettable.
But I do not want to streaking on the frozen lake, or wrapped in towels, riding on the ladder next to the frozen lake, clear lake, you can see the bottom of the lake with huge boulders. Feet of water, almost whole body trembled, and really, really biting, can not tell is cold or hot, the perception seems to have been failures. bite the bullet next to the water, dared to head Qinru water, and immediately climbed up to climb to feel colder, the body towels are soaked , Arctic cold wind blows, it seems that even the pores must be freezing. Fortunately, from the sauna, but tens of meters into the locker room to eat carrots dipped in salad dressing and peanuts, immediately slow over Within a short while but felt a fever.
Back to the sauna, Fjallraven Norway general manager Lars asked my body water, I said head out, he said this is a shame, only the head into the only enjoyable, he said his head underwater to count to 5 , next to Finnish friends can count to 2000, Finn said, I died number a room full of people laugh I have also decided to go again, towels wet, put on shorts, Lars took my phone, help me take commemorative photos. the head bubble ice water, it was very enjoyable, a cold line, throughout the temple and then took a bottle of cold beer the Lapin kulta Finland, called a refreshed ah! Sauna after sunset exceptionally good-looking, although not Aurora, but is rare in the Arctic sunset.
Some things, at first feel terrible, but tried twice, no pressure I wash with sauna soap to wash the body, rushed rushed heated, and then jumped into the glacial lake, it's only real washing bar.
Dinner a great atmosphere, Martin president asked me whether I know what is eating the main course, I said beef, with small potatoes and lingon berries He shook his head, said that of Milu the thigh meat, elk meat. know elk is nonsensical, and the first time to eat this venison be considered a protected species in China. honest, the muscle fibers of the meat is fairly thick, close texture, it seems faint salty meat rather than from the spices taste that does have some like beef after dinner, as well as a reception and concert, is said to be the best band in the Kiruna dinner when a man and a woman two singers to sing English songs of the first warm up, nice!
Unfortunately, I spent the day at the photos and interviews in the afternoon did not rest, dinner, listen to Mr Martin, trapped faster blinded the sleep in the past, almost rude and teammates after dinner to the tent, easy-to-drink point small bottle of whiskey, less than ten o'clock, back to the room to call sleep.

To the editor:
Tearing up the railroad between Lake Placid-Saranc Lake and Old Forge will not create a bike path; it will just grow into a forest.
Upgrading the railroad will not only be a success but would attract more tourists to the area then tearing it up. Plus, freight trains would be able to use the corridor to bring up goods to the North Country.
I worked at Fish Creek Campground for three summers; it and Rollins Pond already get a lot of business in the summer, and the tourist train has a lot more passengers riding it than ARTA (Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates) thinks it does.
I know that because I'm a volunteer on the train, on my days off working at Paul Smith's College as a dishwasher.
So please stop with rails-to-trails, and stay off of ARTA's website. It's getting old. We can have rails and trail. Thank you.

As dreadful as last weekend's box score looked for Tulane football, there is good reason for optimism heading forward.
The Green Wave (2-2, 1-0 in Conference USA) faces a much more like opponent this week at University of Louisiana-Monroe. The Warhawks -- Tulane's third consecutive road foe-- aren't as big and aren't as potent as Syracuse was – a team that defeated Tulane 52-17.
When: 6 p.m. Saturday
Where: Malone Stadium (30,427)| Monroe, LA
Records: Tulane 2-2, ULM 2-2
TV: Check regional listings and online at ESPN3 http://es.pn/TULNvsULM.
Radio: WMTI FM 106.1 "The Ticket"
The Warhawks (2-2, 0-0 in the Sun Belt) also got drummed also last week, taking a 70-7 beating at the hands of Baylor. But ULM has wins against Grambling State and at Wake Forest.
"ULM is a good team," Coach Curtis Johnson said. "We probably thought we were a better match last year with them but they put 60 points on us. It goes back to one thing – it goes back to us making our corrections. We've got to go out, play better and do the best that we can, and hopefully we can come out with a victory."
Last year, Tulane lost 63-10 as Warhawks quarterback Kolton Browning completed 15-of-21 passes for 253 yards and three touchdowns. He threw no interceptions and was sacked only once.
Browning is the key to everything the Warhawks do offensively, Johnson said.
"I think he's a special player, if you are preparing for this team, you have to prepare for him," Johnson said.
But Browning isn't off to such a hot start. He has seven touchdowns this season but six interceptions. Two of them came at Baylor last week. He was injured in the Warhawks season opening loss to Oklahoma and hasn't played the way he did last year though Coach Todd Berry said he is 100 percent healthy.
Expect Browning to get the ball off quickly to avoid contact.
"In order to get back there, it's going to be a challenge," Tulane defensive tackle Julius Warmsley said. "But it's most definitely feasible. He hates getting hit, you look at the film and he hates getting hit so we got to hit him."
Still, Browning has thrown a school record 67 touchdowns. This season, he has completed 93-of-173 passes for 833 yards. But it isn't his arm that has caught Tulane's eye, however. He has 90 rushing yards.
"He's always creating things with his feet, that's the thing," Tulane nose tackle Chris Davenport said.
The high interception total this season shows he is mortal, however.
"I guess with the pressure being on him so much he don't have time to set up and make a read," Davenport said. "His eyes stay downfield so with his eyes being downfield, he's always aware of where his receivers are and things like that but in the midst of throwing the ball, you're getting hit---the ball is not going to go where you want it to go and that's the main thing, his ability to stand there and take all the pressure."
He poses a different challenge than Syracuse's Terrel Hunt did or even South Alabama quarterback Ross Metheny.
"The quarterback from South Alabama was more of a three-step guy, quick throw, the offensive line cut but the thing about the ULM guy is they like to pass protect," Davneport said. "I think that's the strength of their offensive line. They got good pass protectors and it's not so much of physical run-blockers. They are more of pass protectors. I think if they give him more time as pass protectors then he can complete more of his throws. But our whole deal is not to give him any time. It's just to get after those guys and make some plays on the quarterback."
Davenport said the return of Warmsley to the interior of the line has beefed up Tulane's front. Warmsley was played at defensive end earlier this season though he is most natural at 3-technique.
"I think that has been a big strength for us because you got two big physical guys inside in myself and Julius on the inside," Davenport said. "That makes teams have to double one of us and leave the other one free. Or you can double both of us and leave the defensive end free so you pick your poison however you want it. I think that's been a big strength because I've actually gained a lot more plays since he moved inside. We've both received our share of double-teams and we're making plays together and I think that's been a big help. He's creating penetration up field as well as I am, having fun."
Meanwhile, Tulane (2-2, 1-0 in Conference USA) will be trying to protect its own passer. Quarterback Nick Montana has been sacked 14 times this season. Keeping him upright and allowing him time to find targets is essential.
The line's ability to pave the way for the run should also be important. Tulane is averaging more than 100 yards a game -- but that still among the worst totals in the nation for the ground game.
"What we need to do is, and we've been doing it, we need to mix it in and play a close game where we can mix the run, mix the pass and do our different protections to protect him a little better," Johnson said. "But as soon as you get behind 14 or 21 points, you become one dimensional and then it's throw, throw, throw with the two short edges and we know the end of that story already. That doesn't bode well for us."
Tulane was in that situation last week where it had to pass to try to hang in a game it trailed 42-17 at halftime.
This week, it should be a bit easier to score. But keeping the defense engaged early so Tulane isn't playing catch-up is important, Johnson said.
"We just have to come out a lot faster, come out like gang busters and play the type of game we can play," Johnson said.
The opponent should help.
"Our players thought going into the Syracuse game that we had a good chance of winning," Johnson said. "We knew we couldn't make those mistakes, but we thought we could matchup with those guys. ULM gives us a different deal. This quarterback is something else. You like him. I think they were capable a year ago of putting a lot of points on us, which they did when they played at our place. It'll be a tough game for us. We like playing against whoever we play against, but this quarterback does pose a difficult, difficult problem (to solve). They're good on defense, not great, but they're good."

Bark fire spurs residential fire response
MARYSVILLE — At approximately 1:40 p.m. June 18, Marysville Fire Crews were dispatched to a residential fire in the 5900 block of 77th Avenue NE. Callers reported seeing smoke coming from a house. When crews arrived, they found a bark fire that didn't extend to the house, but easily could have.
The Marysville Fire District Fire Marshal ruled the cause as discarded smoking materials.
Getchell Fire also sent an engine crew.
There were no injuries or dollar loss, but Kristen Thorstenson, public education specialist and public information officer for the Marysville Fire District, warned people not to let this happen in their neighborhoods
"What used to be moist isn't anymore," Thorstenson said. "Things that normally wouldn't burn are dry enough to burn now. We encourage you, as you prepare for your summer celebrations, to make sure your beauty bark is moist, and tall vegetation is cleared from structures. We also ask those who smoke to discard of their smoking materials properly."

A beautiful note from a reader on Christmases downtown, past and future:
Dear Kirst,
At only 35 years old I am barely able to recall many of the popular downtown retail stores of the 70's. However, I do remember downtown at Christmastime.
I lived most of my childhood on Grace Street on the city's west side. We were poor as most of our neighbors were. A lot of the time my mother and step-father didn't have a working vehicle so we walked - A LOT. Even as small children we were expected walk sometimes very far distances and many times in the cold and not complain. Winter was the most dreaded time of all, unless, that is, if it was around Christmas. This was the only time of year we didn't mind layering sweaters under hand-me-down coats or putting our feet in empty bread bags so the "slush" wouldn't seep into the cracks in the bottoms of our boots. The walk would be short because our imaginations would be racing. It would be a rare time that my brother and I, only ten months apart in age, would laugh and get along.
As we would approach downtown you could smell the sweet, salty smell coming from the Karmel Korn store. We would go in the old train and hobby shop and look at the trains and cars to get warm. When we would go back out in the cold, my brother and I never minded having to stand and wait outside of K-mart (you could safely do that back then). The cold didn't bother us then because we knew what our mother was doing inside---shopping! Being poor you figure out that there isn't a Santa Claus a little earlier than other children, but you still hold on to the hope there was one - just in case. Especially if, while you were supposed to be sleeping & you could hear your mom trying to figure out what bills not to pay in full to be able to put a few gifts under the tree.
I remember one tough year knowing money was tight and wondering if we'd be getting anything that year. Then one morning we were walking in the cold all bundled up and when we came to Nojaims IGA where we thought we were going for our weekly groceries, my mother kept walking and we knew we were going downtown! After standing in front of Kmart with my brother, arguing about why there were two Rite Aid drug stores a block away from each other, my mother appeared with two large bags. We started our journey back home and made another unexpected stop at the Karmel Korn store. We both got a piece of fudge ... didn't even have to share. After I had eaten my fudge I looked up and my mother was walking in front of me, unaware that there was a Jordache Barbie doll sticking out of the top of the bag. I grinned from ear to ear and didn't even think of complaining when after walking all the way back home to drop off the K-mart bags, we had to walk back to Nojaims to do the weekly grocery shopping.
Downtown may not be the retail hub that it used to be and it never may be. I think it's up to everyone to make their own memories and traditions for their children. Each year I take my children to the tree lighting ceremony downtown. This year I took my step-children as well and we also enjoyed ice skating that afternoon. I share the stories and memories I have of downtown while we ride the bus (they rarely take public transportation and that is an adventure in itself!) There are plenty of opportunities for families to create tradition and memories of downtown Syracuse at Christmastime. They may not be of shopping at popular retail stores but they are of being happy and spending time together as a family in a day and age where people tend not to focus on the meaning of Christmas as much as the material aspect of it.
Thank you for the opportunity to share.

What's Hot: Chambers Hotel, Minneapolis
Travel and Leisure raves, "Minneapolis's exuberant Chambers Hotel is taking Midwestern design to a whole new level." Forbes Traveler has named Chambers as one of the sexiest hotels in the U.S. Indeed this David Rockwell-designed boutique, the sister hotel to New York's famed Chambers hotel, is easily the hippest hotel in Minneapolis. Billed as the "Luxury Art Hotel," Chambers is housed in two landmark 20th century buildings located in the heart of downtown's historic theater district. The minimalist design aesthetic is complemented by the $7 million contemporary art collection of 250 works displayed throughout the public spaces. There are 60 modern guest rooms with "rain-sky" showers, the penthouse level outdoor terrace and bar, and stellar restaurant, where super chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten (the visionary behind Jean-Georges in the Trump International Hotel and Mercer Kitchen in The Mercer Hotel) has devised the delicious Asian-themed menu.

May 22, 2013 to Jun 1, 2013
Mashantucket, Conn. (March 18, 2013) – Foxwoods® Resort Casino is proud to announce rock legend Billy Idol will headline the MGM Grand Theater on Saturday, June 1. Tickets priced at $40, $50 and $60 go on sale Friday, March 22 at 10am.
Tickets can be purchased online at www.foxwoods.com, by calling the Foxwoods' Box Office at
800-200-2882, or Ticketmaster at 800-745-3000. Tickets are also available by visiting the box office.
From punk pioneer to global superstar, Billy Idol has created an unparalleled niche in popular music and remained a household name for over three decades. He is respected as the original punk rocker who long ago found a way to take that sneering punk attitude into the pop and rock mainstream, carving out songs that have lasted a lifetime.
Still as vital as ever, Idol will take to the road in the Summer of 2013 giving fans across the generations an opportunity to chant along as he delivers his endless catalogue of hits. In tow for the tour, he's got longtime partner and legend in his own right, Steve Stevens, on guitar.
As part of the infamous Bromley Contingent and a fan of the Sex Pistols, Billy Idol was inspired to front the popular British punk band Generation X from 1976 until the band's break-up in 1981. He then decided to try his luck in America. At this point, Idol hooked up with guitar genius Steve Stevens and a crucial musical partnership was forged. From there on out, Billy churned out many hits including "Rebel Yell," "White Wedding," "Dancing With Myself," "Flesh For Fantasy," "Hot In the City," "Eyes Without A Face," and "Cradle of Love" among others.
For more information on ticket pre-sale visit BillyIdol.net.

100% of the proceeds of this auction go to Blondie with SoCal Bulldog Rescue!!!
Meet Blondie!!
She came into SoCal Bulldog Rescue in early March after her family left her at a local shelter. Her family told the shelter that Blondie is three and a half years old and just stopped walking for no reason. It did not take long for the rescue workers to realize that Blondie was one special girl. She is a beautiful girl with lots of energy and love to give. She has a drive to move forward and does not let her disability keep her down.
Blondie has been seen by both a neurologist and a rehabilitation center. Both agree that other than her inability to use her back legs, she is a healthy girl. They believe that the loss of mobility in her legs may be caused by L7-S1 spondylosis which is causing spinal cord compression. She also has many hemi-vertebrae in the middle of her spine that may also be causing spinal cord compression. To make matters worse, Blondie has bilateral medial luxating patellas. But, even with so much going on, Blondie does not let it keep her down. She loves to roll around and play with the other foster dogs and go for rides in her wagon during early evening hours. She knows when it is time for dinner and is not afraid to ask for her food. Blondie's is not incontinent, but until she can get a wheelchair to assist with getting around better, she wears a diaper in the house to ensure that she stays clean and dry when home alone.
Since SCBR cannot afford physical therapy for Blondie right now, her foster mom works on her exercises at home with her. SCBR and her foster mom hope to be able to raise the money to get Blondie a wheelchair and some additional physical therapy so that Blondie can get moving again. Blondie's foster mom knows that there is a home out there waiting for this special girl.
Upcoming Expenses-
- Wheelchair and fitting-$650
- Diapers-$45.00 per month
- Diaper Covers-$45.00
- Supplements-$50.00 per month
- Lifting Harness-$120.00
- Entropic Surgery-$400.00

On how he got the part of Little Jacob:
Read the rest of the Q&A over at GTA4Mods.com
I'm still wondering about that feat. My audition I thought was horrible. For me it was about the art because I really wanted to do acting. I didn't have a clue what I was auditioning for, all I knew was that it was an acting job. I wanted to do it so bad that I crumbled at the audition and asked to come back again the next day and try it again. They said yes but to be honest the next day wasn't that much better lol. So I'm still wondering what they saw in me.
Thanks to Alan for the heads up.

N9-Apps goes live!
This has happened right in the middle of Nokia World so I pushed it back for the weekend.
We brought you news about a site being created that would act as an "app store" of sorts, bringing together a list of Nokia Store published apps as well as community developed ones. If you haven't seen it, take a look here.
A feature of the site that I like, is that they have introduced a "Requests" section, where the user can request an app, get that request voted up by other users, and hopefully a community developer will create it! I like the connection between the site and developers, allowing for them to upload their own apps.
Apps also include if they have a free/premium app. The way that did this is good, as it limits the app listing to only one for the app itself, regardless of the versions.
If you have an N9/N950, head over to N9 Apps and add it to your apps screen

There has been great excitement at Sherman Central School since its Varsity Lady Wildcats cross country varsity team won the Section 6 Championship at the meet held Friday, October 31st at Elma Meadows Golf Course. It was the first time that a Sherman cross country ladies team had been awarded the championship trophy.
Upon hearing the good news, plans were quickly made for the team's departure for the state meet Friday, November 7th on Long Island. A pep rally was scheduled to encourage the ladies and create still more enthusiasm among students. The team parents held a special dinner for them, the bus was decorated, and the school administration, faculty, employees and students made plans to give the team a tremendous send off as they boarded the bus Thursday for their trip to Long Island. Coach Downey, who has been coaching Sherman cross country teams for well over 30 years, and his wife will follow the bus. All the girl's parents and some students will also head out for the same destination to cheer the team on as they compete with a host of other cross country teams.
The Sherman Lady Wildcat cross-country ladies are friends and they encourage one another in their daily practices and as they run at the meets. Prior to the start of each race, they kneel down in a huddle and pray that each one of them will do their best and that every team participant will have a safe race with no injuries. Following the prayer, Lindsey Alday gives her team members a little pep talk and the girls are ready to compete.
Recently the parents of a girl who competes from another school complimented the Sherman team saying that she was very impressed with the behavior, good spirits and sportsmanship shown by the Lady Wildcats as they encouraged and cheered on the ladies from other schools as they were running. Sherman School Superintendent Thomas Schmitt gave the team that message.

Through Monday, the Muskegon County Road Commission had spent $3.4 million on snowplowing, salting and sanding county roads this winter, Road Commission Manager Ken Hulka told the county board this week.
That is $516,725 over budget, with several more weeks of potential winter weather ahead.
The cost overruns are being inflated by 7,700 hours of overtime for plowing already this winter due to heavy snows, Hulka said.
Hulka told county commissioners he will have to recommend budget cuts from general summer maintenance activities to his road commission board in the coming months.
One area of potential cuts would be on gravel-and-tar resurfacing of roads; 75 miles are in the current budget, Hulka told The Chronicle.
County Commissioner Don Aley questioned whether the winter snow removal budget overruns will threaten plans for $2.2 million worth of reconstruction on Quarterline Road planned for this summer.
He said the Quarterline project is important to the entire community in serving Baker College of Muskegon, Muskegon Community College and the Mercy General Health Partners Oak Street campus to the north.
Hulka said Quarterline and other primary road construction projects would be the last places to cut because local funds are being used to leverage large amounts of federal and state money.
County Commissioner Marve Engle expressed appreciation for the work of the road commission snowplow crews this winter.
"For the guys on the trucks, give them a thanks for allowing us to get where we needed to this winter," Engle told Hulka.
Not all county residents are happy, Hulka said.
"In the subdivisions, we have had complaints that the roads are not plowed as well as they would like," Hulka said, adding that there are limits to service when budgets are considered.

Just a reminder that the one unconditionally excellent thing I can say about the College Football Playoff is that it's relegated the Coaches Poll to the sidelines.
Hopefully, this will be my last post on the subject.
Filed under The Coaches Poll Is Stupid.
18 responses to "Hopefully, this will be my last post on the subject."
If Sakerlina is National Champ this year I will have to give up college football forever. My hate for Superior runs deep and I couldn't bear the pain of the "Cocks: National Champs" t shirts.
I have a sneaking suspicion that it was either Dabo or Nick
The truth of the matter is, though, coaches like Spurrier are a dying breed. You know he's going to be entertaining and you're never going to wonder what he REALLY thinks. Is he an arrogant jerk? Sure he is. But I for one will miss him when he's gone. I am a dyed in the wool Disney Dawg. I love Mark Richt like family. But I can tell you today exactly what he will say for the rest of the season. He will never say anything we don't expect. Steve on the other hand? Let's just say, when Spurrier speaks, people listen. I promise you, we'll all be telling our grandchildren about the time the Old Ball Coach said such and such.
J/K…one of my favorite Spurrierisms was the quip about Auburn's library catching fire.
There is nothing wrong with giving the players credit for the wins, blaming yourself for the losses, passing on opportunities to say "interesting" things and generally having standards that transcend your own selfish interest in winning. It's called character and is something that SOS has never had and never will. I give SOS credit in one single respect: he's the best red zone pass play caller I've ever seen.
….and Bill Stanfill still sends his regards….
Whoa there, Paul. Let's not get carried away…
Whoa there, Paul. Let's not get carried away…it's not nice to scare your grandchildren
Clearly this was the work of Evil Richt.
I thought the same thing
The phrase "South Carolina is the nation's #1 team" has all the intrinsic appeal as the phrase "turn your head to the side and cough." It's unpleasant, undignified, and what follows is uncomfortable in a place where discomfort is altogether unwelcome. Add to that the thought of Spurrier as the coach of the #1 team, and the phrase "bend over and grab your ankles" comes to mind.
You know the rest.
I didn't know the baseball poll was even out yet.
I too will miss the Old Ball Sack when he's gone.
Anyone care to guess from whence the lone Ohio St vote came
I don't want a larger playoff field but if there was ever a case for it, it's the fact that Ohio St will suck up 1 of the 4 spots by virtue of playing an absolutely abysmal schedule and a more deserving team will not be selected.
Here's hoping that Michigan State still makes Irwin eat the lonely post-game Papa John's cheese pizza
I suspect that Spurrier didn't vote at all, his SID did. Plausible deny-ability strikes again…
You think they'll put up a banner in Williams Brice to commemorate their vote for #1?
Steve is now at the "new Duke" where coaches cast joje votes. What goes around comes around.
Damn, joke votes.

PHILADELPHIA — The last time the Philadelphia Flyers had a .500 record or worse was Oct. 26 of 2010 when the Orange and Black earned a 6-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres to improve to 4-4-1 early on in the 2010-11 regular season.
Ever since, the Flyers have had a record better than .500 -— until 2013. They started the year 0-3 and have been in the position to reach that .500 mark six times and failed to earn the crucial win every single time, including Monday's 4-2 loss against the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs.
In the six chances the Flyers (9-11-1) have had to get back to a .500 record, they've been outscored 29-12, with the closest margin of defeat no less than two goals (two occasions, including Monday night).
Following last Thursday's loss to the Panthers, Flyers keeper Ilya Bryzgalov commented on the team's attitude when it comes to chasing down a .500 mark.
"We can just learn what we did wrong and we can continue to move forward and practice and prepare ourselves for the games and the games we have ahead of us," he said.
Monday's game was another chance for the Flyers to break an unfortunate streak. This time around, however, they managed to break the ice.
Scott Hartnell, who had been sidelined with a broken foot for a month, recorded his second point of the year in the form of a second-period goal that gave him his first tally on the score sheet since Jan. 19 — when he registered an assist in the season-opening 3-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Hartnell had a few opportunities during Saturday's win, but couldn't get a solid touch on a puck to find the back of the net.
"I feel a little rusty, but I think the timing and stuff will come," Hartnell said after Saturday's game. "I told G (Claude Giroux) and Jake (Voracek) they have been playing so good I just wanted to get them the puck and head to the front of the net, that's where I make a living.
"I had some chances, especially the first couple shifts there, Jake made a great pass and if I had been playing in all the other games, that goes in the net. But I was just happy to get through (the) game and no worries right now."
That all changed Monday when Voracek sent a cross-ice pass deep in the slot to a streaking Hartnell, which he managed to chip over the shoulder of Leafs keeper Ben Scrivens.
With Hartnell's return to the score sheet — not to mention, Voracek registered two more points, including a goal after being named the NHL First Star of the Week on Monday morning — that run at a .500 record with just over a half a season to play should be a bit easier to maneuver.

Visiting White Castle, led by sophomore Samson Westley, opened Tuesday night firing on all cylinders, inside and out, and quickly assumed the role of spoiler to host Family Christian's homecoming.
The forward made his presence felt early and often both in the post and at the 3-point line en route to a 27-point, 13-rebound performance, as the Bulldogs claimed the 60-43 victory.
"We were hitting in the first half, and that helps when you come on the road, and you're making baskets, especially 3-pointers," White Castle Coach Troy Green said. "We're happy about that. And we did a good job on their player, Gummie Williams. I know they're just getting him back, but we did a pretty good job on him, so I'm happy about that also."
Westley and teammates Swayne Edwards and Tyiddus Lang combined to sink five of White Castle's first seven attempts from long range to build a 17-6 advantage in a hurry.
The Class 1A Bulldogs (6-11) cooled off some from there, but never enough for the Class C Flames (7-15) to fully capitalize.
"Like I told my guys after the game, we've played a tough schedule to get better," said Family Christian Coach James Holmes, a White Castle alumnus. "We're not gonna see that in Class C basketball."
Westley remained a menace for Family Christian to try, mostly in vain, to slow.
The sophomore opened the second quarter on an individual 7-2 run and spent the period successfully alternating between 3-pointers and big baskets in the paint and on putbacks.
White Castle meanwhile extended its lead to as much as 39-17 as back-to-back scores from Westley capped an 8-0 run late in the half.
"We were having success shooting the ball, playing defense, playing as a team, as we came here to do: play as a team," Westley said. "It's a great feeling. You've gotta know what you've gotta do for your team … If they play good, I play good. We're all together, in this together."
Led by Williams in his return from a fractured wrist, Family Christian scored eight quick points to open the third quarter and a 14-5 run to cut its deficit to 44-36.
Williams finished with 11 points, nine rebounds, five assists, three steals and a blocked shot.
"We weren't competing, and we weren't playing aggressive, so we said, 'Let's play aggressive and compete,'" Holmes said. "They came out and responded. If you take away everything we did in the first half, it was an even ball game in the second half."
But the Flames' push ended there with, fittingly, a Westley jumpshot.
The sophomore ended the quarter with a score off a rebound to push the lead back to 50-39, and Family Christian could never draw back to within single digits.
"We were thinking we needed to step up our defense," Westley said. "We started lagging. We needed to play together, and something happened, we just got it together and started playing."
Lang scored 12 points for White Castle, and Edwards added nine points and four rebounds in a performance that garnered praise from the opposing coach.
"They're a seasoned team with a very good point guard, and he controlled the tempo of the game," Holmes said. "No. 4, Swayne Edwards, he controlled the tempo of the game, but I'm proud of the effort my guys stepped out and played against a team in White Castle that'll probably play in the Top 28 or quarterfinals, and I don't think we'll see that in our classification."
Byron Pierre scored six points and hauled in a game-high 15 rebounds for the Bulldogs.
Joshua Bates led Family Christian in scoring with 12 points, and Quiante' Scott added 11 points, four rebounds and two blocked shots.
Lamar Albagdadi earned homecoming king honors, alongside queen April Moker, before scoring five points for the Flames.
The loss did not diminish Holmes' optimism in his team's ability to make a run this season in Class C.
"It looked like the kid (Williams) didn't miss a beat, and Gummie Williams is probably the best player in Class C basketball," the coach said. "I don't want to be arrogant. I want to be humble, because the injuries we went through have taught me a lot of humility, and I thank God for that, but I expect us to be in the Top 28 in Class C basketball."

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Whether it is 70 years old this year, or 73, (there are questions; the appropriate parties are checking the records) one thing seems clear: The Staten Island Community Band is venerable.
It is definitely the oldest community band in the state, according to band librarian David Frey. It may even be a contender for oldest-community-band-in-the-nation, he believes.
The best-exposed amateur musical ensemble in the borough, the band is seen and heard from one end of the island to another year round at parades, commencements, holiday celebrations.
The community band ethos is constitutionally open-eared. Dedicated musicians with reasonable — intermediate or better — musical skills are welcome.
There are no auditions, although there is careful listening: Not everyone will be eligible for consideration as a section leaders or as a soloists. "We play for the love of it," said Frey.
Typically, community bands are staffed with players who studied intently but moved into other professions. Professional musicians are welcome, naturally.
Often, music teachers send students to play with the band. Typically, parent-and-child pairs are in the mix.
When the band strikes up on Saturday for its annual spring program at Tottenville High School, the program will be one-third patriotic music ("Star Spangled Banner," Sousa's "The Washington Post," and "Stars and Stripes Forever;" "America the Beautiful" (Samuel A. Ward) and "American Overture" (Joseph Wilcox Jenkins).
Gustave Holst, known for his atmospheric suite "The Planets" is on the program with his Second Suite in F for Military Band," a four-movement piece that's rich with English folk music.
When SICB concerts have programs, the notes on compositions are informative and entertaining, a music lover's commentary, not a scholarly treatise.
The Holst entry for Saturday's concert notes the "Second Suite is longer and considered more difficult to play" than the first, a factor "that the woodwind section will confirm."
One number, the "Mambo No. 5" of Perez Prado is described as "the No. 6 most annoying song ever, according to Rolling Stone Magazine."
The rest of the program resembles a pops playlist: Excerpts from "Porgy and Bess" and extracts from splendid and immediately recognizable film score of "Ben Hur." (Miklosa Rozsa).

I keep thinking this isn't a stove but a Grecian Urn. I look at it and get poetic.How do I love thee?Let me count the ways.The burners are a variety of sizes. The big one get my grill pan making marks that are more than faint traces. The small are just waiting there to simmer and simmer. This may be the biggest difference between the your standard big box store stove and the design quality of this unit.The burner area is a single area. That makes it so much easier to clean than the old unit. There are a lot less nooks and crannies. That is great for English Muffins but just extra elbow grease to get up the gunk and grease that happens.I am one of those types that doesn't think a half hour ahead when it comes to preheating the oven. The rapid heat feature covers up my flaw. It marches the temp up and is ready when I am.Convection. Yes, great. But what I really like is the display which tells me which of the choices does what. So, I can set it to a frozen pizza or one of the other setting without getting out the book. And, the pizza comes out uniform without even rotating half way through. I did a cheese cake. The top wasn't the pale top the old stove produced in the cooking time. It was a lovely brown like the best commercial offering. Convection offers one a lot that can't be had with standard ovens.I keep trying to find the clay feet and can't even locate a clay pinky.

The week before Thanksgiving, with a turkey to roast and pies to bake, the oven decided not to hold temperature Second time this has happened since we bought it a year and a half ago.. 2 service calls later, and consultation with Whirlpool tech support, and the oven still doesn't work right. Igniter decides to fail once in a while resulting in a 200 degree oven whose display says 450. Of course it's out of warrantee. So far have spent half the cost of the range for repairs.

Poor Performance
By Ellen27
from Richland, Michigan, United States
I have had this range for 4 years and have had several service calls/repairs for burner issues, drawer not staying on track and oven failing to light. Thank goodness for an extended warranty. In the past 6 weeks I have had the oven fail to ignite 3 times, each time needing a service call. After replacing the ignitor it happened again. Each time I had to wait 5-7 days for an appointment. then a week for parts and repair.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Gas! Need I say more!

My wife and I furnished our new home with all Whirlpool Gold appliances! We would have to say that we are extremely happy with this choice!
anyone could use
By bandit11
from Tacoma, WA
Very happy with this range would recommend to anyone looking for a gas range. Very easy to clean even after one of my chilli cookoffs.
This is a good product.
By Sahel
from Undisclosed
The knobs being on the vertical surface stops any cleaning chemicals to get under the knobs and ruin the computer panel
Great product!
By Pfcroft
I love this gas range. The power burners are great for boiling water/cooking big dishes. The small burner in the center of the range hardly sees any use because its impossible to fit 5 pots on the stove at the same time (unless its 5 small sauce pans). I also wish the power burners had more of a range from high heat to low. It's great to bring large dishes to a boil but difficult to simmer, the lowest dial setting is still like a 'medium'. The oven is superb. The top is easy to clean since you can pull off the grates in 2 sections. Great product!

The only con of this unit I see is that there is no medium icon on the burner dials. You have to kind of guess you are in the middle.First time cooking with this stove takes some getting use to since the burners are hotter than normal burners

The best stove that I have ever owned!
By dgrider001
The stove has a very straightforward design. Cleaning the stove takes a little effort; due to the grates, but is worth the time. The full coverage grates make it a simple task to move things around with little effort. The oven preheats very fast and has you cooking in a very short time. I really like the notification window that lets you know; with a message and audible tone, when to put your items into the oven, be it one or two racks. This is a real time saver, since you don't have to be constantly monitoring its status. If your looking for a time saver for stove top cooking, this is the unit you want. The 5 burners give a wide selection of heat setting to get whatever you want done fast and precisely. The power burner gives you fast heat and lots of it, while the simmer burner gives you a lower heat with a wide range of settings. I purchased the Stainless version and love the fact that it is not all stainless(top is enameled), which makes maintenance a little easier. There is enough stainless that you get the look you want though. I have not had to use the self cleaning option yet, but that is because I like to clean as I go. I did extensive research on this unit and have not been disappointed with the choice.

What NOT to Look at in E2.0 Solutions
by admin
Thanks to Alexander Wolfe of InformationWeek for the timely article published over the weekend, "IT Pro Ranking: Enterprise 2.0 Vendors," where InformationWeek surveyed 619 business technology professionals regarding 1.) if they have deployed an Enterprise 2.0 application, and 2.) how vendors perform on 12 standard benchmarks, as well as specific criteria tailored for the E2.0 category. It's timely because I just completed an article with Acquia's VP of Marketing, Bryan House, which will be published in KMWorld's next whitepaper, Best Practices in Enterprise Social Networking & Collaboration. Our article reveals five key considerations in evaluating social business software, and the thoughts and findings in Wolfe's article echo our recommendations. Here are three common themes between the two – or three things NOT to do when evaluating vendors.
Don't focus on features
"Features have been commoditized and are no longer the differentiating point," says one IT pro in the InformationWeek article. This is really the basis of our KMWorld article. Enterprises need to look beyond the feature set on factors that truly provide long-term value.
Don't think size is all that matters
"Customers are clearly finding value from small and upstart vendors, not just the largest players," states Wolfe. Vendors in use now are not the vendors IT pros want to be using in the future. Enterprises are seeing the value in alternatives to large proprietary vendors.
Don't assume size equals innovation
"It's not automatically assumed that offerings from companies like Microsoft are more innovative than those from, say, Drupal or Socialtext," according to Wolfe. Innovation stems from passion, drive, and commitment – which run deep in small and startup companies, and open source communities.
Now for just a little bragging. Drupal outranked Microsoft, Oracle, and Yammer in performance and features according to the survey. (Woot!) And only 3 percentage points separate Drupal and Jive (a proprietary alternative to Drupal Commons for social business software) in both categories. Cost and extensibility were not evaluated in this survey – where Drupal Commons beats Jive every time.

If you've ever struggled with the question of whether your cat should spend its time indoors or outdoors, consider the perfect happy medium: a catio.
A catio is an enclosed space that exposes cats to the great outdoors and protects them from cars and predators while simultaneously protecting their potential prey.
"It can be elaborate, but it doesn't have to be," says Karen Kraus, executive director of the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon. "This doesn't have to be something expensive. It doesn't even have to be a permanent structure to your home."
Need inspiration? Nine of Portland's most creative catios will be on display next month during the second-annual catio tour, hosted by the Feral Cat Coalition and Audubon Society of Portland.
The two groups have shared an unusual but longstanding partnership that aims to protect both felines and native wildlife.
The idea for the catio tour came out of a meeting of the groups' "Cats Safe at Home" initiative, a collaboration that also includes Multnomah County Animal Services and Washington County Animal Services.
Benefits of catios
While catios are typically designed with indoor-only cats in mind, they ultimately benefit feral cats too.
"Our prime objective is reducing the number of feral and stray cats in this community," Kraus says. "Pet cats are the original cause of stray cats. If you can help your kitty not roam free, we're going to have fewer future feral and strays and fewer cats predating on wildlife."
It may sound counterintuitive, but catios can also allow native wildlife to thrive, says Nikkie West, coordinator of the Backyard Habitat Certification Program for the Portland Audubon.
At least two of the catios on this year's tour includes a certified backyard habitat, which incorporates sustainable gardening practices and integrating native wildlife.
In fact, many people who volunteer for the Audubon Society also volunteer for the Feral Cat Coalition, she points out.
"That's the theme here: We want to keep all animals safe," West says.
Free-roaming cats face lots of threats, from coyotes and cars to toxins and simply getting lost.
An enclosed space that provides access to sunshine and fresh air can not only extend a cat's life, it greatly improves the quality of it.
For St. Johns resident Robin Kreger, whose catio will be featured in this year's tour, the structure provides peace of mind and contented cats.
Kreger volunteers with the Feral Cat Coalition and was inspired after last year's tour, which drew nearly 700 participants.
She sketched out a designed and asked her husband, Sam Perkins, to build it as a Christmas present.
Their structure features a cat door built into a basement window, allowing the cats to come and go while not obstructing any of the upstairs house windows.
It's about three feet wide and its tallest point is about eight feet high - enough space for the couple's two pet cats and rotating foster from the Multnomah County shelter.
Squirrels, hummingbirds and other wildlife provide the entertainment, and the cats are content to sit back and watch.
"Even on hot days where we have the AC on, they prefer to be outside," Kreger says, noting the cats have been calmer since the catio was built. "It gives them the ability to be outside without us having to worry."
Constructing a catio
There's not really a right or wrong way to build a catio, Kraus says, although you will want some kind of cover to keep your cat inside and wildlife out.
Another element you may want to consider is how – or whether – to attach it to your home.
As for materials, most people use a wood frame structure of some sort and wire mesh, but your creativity is the limit.
Kreger and her husband used cedar lumber, plywood and coated fencing to prevent rust.
You can also purchase portable enclosures online, which may be ideal for apartment dwellers, or keep cats safely contained with a fence enclosure system such as Purr...fect Fence.
"For the vast majority of people that live in the city and have some space, a catio is just a really great win-win," Kraus says. "It's going to come down to what people are able to envision and then either build or purchase, and then they're just limited by their own creativity."
Sidebar: Catio tour
The second-annual Catio Tour, hosted by the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon & Audubon Society of Portland, features a self-guided tour of nine outdoor cat enclosures in the Portland metro area.
The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 6. Suggested minimum donation: $5; register at feralcats.com.
Things to consider when building a catio:
- Existing patios can be transformed into catios simply by enclosing them with screen or wire.
- You can build a catio yourself, order premade kits or fencing, or hire a handyman or contractor.
- Access to the catio can be created by adding a cat flap to a door, window or wall cut, and enclosing a tunnel to the space.
- Feline-friendly features may include ramps, cat trees for climbing; driftwood and posts to scratch; catnip or other cat-safe grasses fountains; perches for lounging or chairs for people to relax.

Look at my stats, in the link in my profile. I applied to similar schools with somewhat similar stats. It's hard to say anything, however, without knowing how good that GPA is in the context of your school, and how colleges will interpret it.

My stats are similar to yours, but with more strength in testing, less strength in english, and fewer and less developed ECs. That said, your profile is better than mine because you have interests that show in your ECs, etc. I think you'll get into about 75% of your schools, likely Kenyon, Claremont, Swarthmore, and kinda halfnhalf for the others. Depends on your essays.
I have one question for you: are you the kinda student that works pretty hard, i.e. 2 hours per night, is genuinely devoted to the other things you do, and is an all-around smart person (relative to your classmates)? Or, do you put <30 mins into homework per night, somewhat interested in your other activities, and a very smart person in all aspects of life who gets excellent grades by your sheer intellect? Most of the people on this website are the former. Just wanted to know what you think.
|By Quack87 (Quack87) on Tuesday, April 27, 2004 - 10:29 pm: Edit
Qwert - I've noticed the same trend on CC too. I think I'm more the first type you described. I can afford to slide by in many of my classes without a ton of effort (maybe an hour or so a night). But my ECs are all consuming. I'm at school nearly every Saturday for the magazine, random Fridays for Debate and Model Congress, and organizing the conference essentially takes up the rest of my "free" time. I never could get into the idea of resume building as a profession, of doing something w/ a catchy name ONLY because it'll look good. I guess I get bored too easily. Same for you (or anyone else, if you want to contribute)?
|By Qwert271 (Qwert271) on Tuesday, April 27, 2004 - 10:45 pm: Edit
Hmmmm... I'm kind of a mix. I don't do well in required classes because I'm not interested in them usually. They're the sort of classes that anyone could get an A in if you put in 20 mins per night, but usually I don't see the point because I don't care about what's going on. But the classes that are more conceptual are easy for me because it understand it quickly, and it's downhill from there. As for ECs, I do little, period. I only do the ones that interest me for a few hours a week. The way I see it, colleges look at ECs because they want to get more perspective on you as a person, what interests you, what you do with your free time. I think my personality comes off sufficiently in the few things that I do, and that's fine because I wouldn't want to do anything just for the resume pad. I don't want to end up wanting to quit any of my ECs after I've gotten into college. Besides, those ones are see-through anyway.
It's weird, in terms of looking over the material for SAT 2 and APs, I do fine because I find myself caring about the material occasionally, and when I do, I can absorb it well and learn it. For class, though, you have to study when you have a test and do work when it's due. That doesn't jive with my 'schedule'. So I do badly (relatively) in school since sometimes I don't care at all.
Thanks for listening. I think I'm trying to convince people that my GPA doesn't define me.
