IBM Rational® Reporting for Development Intelligence, Version 2, (also called RRDI) is the reporting tool for the Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management, Version 4.0 (CLM 4.). This article provides instructions for deploying RRDI 2.0 on an IBM® AIX® operating system and integrating with the CLM 4.0 data warehouse IBM® DB2® database server for IBM Rational Team Concert™, Rational® Quality Manager, and Rational® Requirements Composer to generate reports by using sample report definitions from the respective applications.
Review the setup architecture
The diagram in Figure 1 shows the setup used as the basis for this article. Here. RRDI is deployed on AIX. It also supports Microsoft Windows, Linux, and IBM® System z® platforms. Download the appropriate RRDI package for your setup. See Resources for the link to "System Requirements for Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence 2.0," which provides the list of supported hardware and software details.
This article is based on the assumption that the CLM 4.0 server is already installed and configured, along with database.
Figure 1. RRDI and CLM setup
Set up data storage
Install IBM DB2 and create a database instance.
- While running the Rational Reporting setup:
- Create a content store database that uses this instance.
- Create the DB2 catalog to locally mount the database (data warehouse) of CLM 4.0 on the RRDI 2.0 server.
Important:This is mandatory when you have RRDI on one server and CLM data warehouse on another server. The IBM® Cognos® data source connection for RRDI and DB2 connection string will use localhost.
The following commands help in creating a DB2 catalog on the AIX server:
su – db2instl db2 catalog tcpip node <nodeName> remote <Remote IP Address> server <port number> db2 catalog database DW at node <nodeName> db2 list node directory db2 connect to DW user db2inst1 using <password>
To grant database administration privileges for rptuser, use the following command:
db2 grant dbadm on database to user rptuser
- After creating the database instance and configuring the catalog for connecting to the remote data warehouse, exit from db2inst1.
- Then execute the db2profile and set LIBPATH:
source /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2profile
On an IBM® AIX® system, the default library path is 64-bit, but a 32-bit library path is mandatory to complete the Rational Reporting setup successfully.
- Ensure that the 32 bit libraries are installed and export the LIBPATH:
export LIBPATH=$LIBPATH:/home/db2inst1/sqllib/lib32
- Verify the library path by using this command:
echo $LIBPATH
The remote IP address used while creating the DB2 catalog is the IP address of the CLM 4.0 server with the data warehouse configured. See the "Cataloging a database" citation in the Resources section for details.
Deploy Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence The deployment of Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence (RRDI 2.0) involves three stages:
- Installation of RRDI 2.0
- Setup of Rational Reporting
- Post-setup tasks
Successful installation of RRDI 2.0 on AIX will provide the details to run the Rational Reporting setup. RRDI 2.0 is bundled with the Apache Tomcat server, which helps to run the Rational Reporting setup.
- Before proceeding with the Rational Reporting setup, start the Tomcat server from the RRDI 2.0 installed path:
cd /opt/IBM/RRDI2/setup/tool/JazzTeamServer/server ./server.startup
- Now click Set up Rational Reporting and configure RRDI, using the RRDI setup link:
AIX is the operating system that we used for the deployment while writing this article. If you are working on an AIX system, ensure that the /tmp partition has at least 200 MB space. While preparing the setup for the article, /tmp had 1 GB. See the"Installing Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence" citation in Resources, for the details.
Set up Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence
- Using the RRDI setup link, configure the content store, data warehouse, IBM® WebSphere® Application Server, and report server.
Build and Deploy Reporting Components is the last step while running the Rational Reporting setup. It takes care of the report server configuration. This step usually fails if the 32-bit library is not set properly, as explained previously. Figure 2 indicates the successful completion of deploying the reporting components.
Figure 2. Build and deploy components
- Click Next to see the summary shown in Figure 3.
- Click Finish to return to the RRDI setup page.
Figure 3. Summary page for the Rational Reporting setup
- Click Run post-setup tasks to complete Jazz™ namespace configuration and load Cognos archives. Figure 4 shows the summary of post-setup tasks.
Figure 4. Summary of post-setup tasks
This enables sample report definitions in the public folder on Rational Reporting (see Figure 5) for Rational Team Concert (the change and configuration management software, or CCM), Rational Quality Manager (quality management, or QM), and Rational Requirements Composer (requirements management, or RM). Each folder contains the relevant data warehouse reports.
Figure 5. Sample Report Definitions
See the "Post-installation tasks" link in Resources for the details.
Verify the data source connection
- To verify the data source connection, log in to RRDI 2.0 at http://islswestest5.in.ibm.com:11080/reporting, and click IBM Cognos administration.
- Then open the Configuration tab, select RIDW > more > Test the connection, and click Test, as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6. Test data source connections
If the connection works, the Status column in the results will show Succeeded, as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7. Connection test results
Configure the Collaborative Lifecycle Management data warehouse
The data warehouse component in the server's Advanced properties of Collaborative Lifecycle Management is used to configure the data collection user and data warehouse snapshot time, which is nothing but scheduling the job run time and XDC authentication type (see Figure 8). This takes care of the Jazz Team Server and Rational Requirements Composer data collection jobs. For change and configuration management (CCM) and quality management (QM), the application's Advanced properties contain the data warehouse component. Configuration for all of these components should be similar. The data collection user should have a Data Collector license.
Figure 8. Data warehouse component configuration
The CLM 4.0 server is configured with LDAP authentication, and the data collection user specified here is one of the LDAP users who has a Data Collector license.
Schedule data collection jobs
Proper settings in the data warehouse component configuration for Collaborative Lifecycle Management ensures that the data collection jobs are running fine, as shown in Figure 9. Here, the Job Scheduling value is set to run once in 12 hours by specifying the value as 12, and Job History reveals the same in Figure 10.
Figure 9. Data collection job schedule
Figure 10. Data collection job status
Explore sample data warehouse reports After successfully configuring the data warehouse components on Collaborative Lifecycle Management, log in to Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence (RRDI 2.0).
Then you can generate reports for change and configuration management (CCM), quality management (QM), and requirements management (RM) by using the sample report definitions.
These reflect the real-time date of the respective project areas, according to the latest data collection jobs successfully executed.
Figure 11 shows the list of date warehouse reports for CCM that are included in RRDI 2.0. There are also many data warehouse reports included for QM and RM.
Figure 11. List of data warehouse reports available for CCM
Figure 12 shows one of the sample reports generated by using the "Development items implementing or impacting Requirements" date warehouse report.
Figure 12. Sample report
This article explained deploying Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence (RRDI) Version 2.0 and integrating it with the Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) Version 4.0 data warehouse on an IBM AIX operating system. It also provided details about generating reports by using data warehouse reports for Rational Team Concert, Rational Quality Manager, and Rational Requirements Composer, which are all involved in CLM.

GATES MILLS With winter's arrival imminent, drivers are happy to see all lanes of Mayfield Road are now open.
Construction on the eastbound lanes, which have been closed since July, has been completed. Drivers in the completed section will notice slightly wider lanes, smooth pavement and new curbs.
They will have a short respite through the winter, with work scheduled to start on the westbound lanes in April.
While it was expected westbound traffic would remain open throughout the project, planners have instead chosen to divert cars headed to Mayfield Heights through alternate routes, including Old Mill Road and Wilson Mills Road. This will lead to some delays in getting to Hillcrest Hospital for rescue vehicles.
Changing eastbound lanes to westbound would create the potential for serious accidents for residents of Mayfield Road, planners decided. Travelers will still be able to head east on Mayfield Road once construction resumes in the spring.
Gates Mills Mayor Shawn Riley said the village has recognized the issue of traffic congestion due to detours, mainly on Wilson Mills Road. While implementing traffic control would be expensive, Riley said he is looking into gathering volunteers who are willing to help during peak hours next year.
The entire $2.8 million ODOT project was expected to be completed by this fall, but problems with underground pipes were discovered during construction work on the eastbound lanes. This led to delays and further expenses, with Gates Mills paying half of the $450,000 cost with ODOT to purchase and install new pipes.
Council members decided it would be better to address the situation with the road already torn up than to wait for problems to develop in the future.

User talk:Magicrainbowunicorn
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
edit Welcome to Uncyclopedia
Hello, Magicrainbowunicorn, and welcome to Uncyclopedia. This is a wiki (a collection of pages that anyone can edit). Words in blue are "links" and can be clicked to take you to another page. This wiki is devoted to comedy. It pretends it is Wikipedia, but we make people laugh, not bore them. If you aren't interested in a fake encyclopedia but in writing fake news stories, we have UnNews, and there are other projects for scripts, lyrics, how-to guides, and so on.
- What you can do
You can create an article of your own. For starters, create it under your own name; for example, User:Magicrainbowunicorn/Bedbug. (The red instead of blue is a link to a page that doesn't yet exist.) We have a list of articles that need to be created. You can help out without writing articles; just read articles and, if you see an improvement in writing or in comedy, jump in and edit it. In fact, there are ways to help out without writing at all, such as helping us organize stuff, monitoring the activity log for vandals, or even greeting other new users like this.
- What you need
To write articles, you need a sense of humor and an ability to write good English. We all have our strengths and weaknesses and you can get help in any area. But everyone needs an ability to work with other people. Decide to be polite, be positive and helpful toward others, and assume others are doing the same toward you.
- What to read
Here are some pages that might help you:
- Beginner's Guide
- Help pages
- Our vanity policies: Why we don't want articles about your friends, and probably not about your school
- And, if you need to learn what is funny, what is not, and what seems funny except that it's been tried a hundred times here already, read "How to be funny and not just stupid."
- For personal help
- All the administrators are willing to help you, and several Uncyclopedians are willing to adopt you.
- I will be watching this page for a while and will know if you edit it. Afterward, you can contact me on my own talk page.
- If you've written an article, we have a review process where an experienced Uncyclopedian will read it and tell you how to improve it.
- How to post to talk pages
Please follow these general rules:
- Add comments at the end of a talk page so people notice your addition.
- Start your paragraphs with one or more : characters to indent them and set them off from other people's posts.
- At the end, type ~~~~ (four tildes), which gets replaced by your user name and the current date and time.
- Don't delete anyone's messages. In case of any controversy, we depend on an accurate record of what was written. You may disavow your remarks by
striking them through like this.
I hope you enjoy it here and write a lot of funny stuff! Spıke Ѧ 18:36 9-Feb-13
PS--On your obsession with mustaches, you may want to read Mustaches of Legend. Spıke Ѧ 20:26 9-Feb-13
edit Homework
Your edits cleaned up this article a lot. But please reread very carefully; there are lots of typos to fix. ("time times as fat as you"?) Learn to use the History tab to look not at the document but only at the parts you have changed. (Click that link to see them.)
Also, the mere mention of Sarah Palin isn't funny, unless you have something clever and funny to say that actually relates to the real palin. Likewise anal sex. I don't like this numbered list at all, especially because we don't write numbered lists this way; we start each item with # and let the software number them:
- This is an example.
- This is another one.
A bulleted list uses * and I used it earlier on this page.
- This is a bulleted-list item.
- This is another one.
Happy editing! Spıke Ѧ 20:36 9-Feb-13
- to spike, thank you for the response. sorry if the article was rubbish, still learning. --magical rainbow unicorn
Not rubbish, but they need a careful eye (yours, not mine!) and a second pass. That is what editing is all about, not just banging out a story and considering it done. Another thing you need to do is read above, "How to post to talk pages." Thanks. Spıke Ѧ 21:21 9-Feb-13
edit Memes
By the way, above I didn't mean to give Sarah Palin a special dispensation from your sharp tongue. (Though she is hawt...for a mother of fifteen.) It's the same for bin-Laden and Bush and Obama. You'll see a lot of mentions of Chuck Norris and Oscar Wilde here too, but people are pretty much sick of them. Don't mention any celebrity just as a meme and expect that alone to do the trick. It's actual cleverness if you can relate your mention to the real-life person. Spıke Ѧ 21:45 9-Feb-13
cool thanks. I'll work on it
edit Thingies
"Some people have a way with words; and some people--you know--'not have way'!"
This is a clever concept. One thing you'll need to think about is why anyone would come here: No one types "Thingies" into a search bar. If you stumble upon someone using the term "thingies" in an article, of course change it to
[[thingies]] so it becomes a link to your page. But always take care not to put so much of the joke into the page name that the reader has to already know the joke just to see the page.
You have one gaping problem on the page, which we call listcruft. This list is already 24 items long, and that is before anonymous grade-school children who cannot write a complete sentence add their entries, which you will spend the rest of your life here deleting. A list item is not a funny sentence; it is a thing, put down on the page, which you expect to be funny just by walking through the door, like Sarah Palin. A little less of this, please, and a little more paragraphs, and talking in a funny way about people who talk about stuff and can never seem to come up with the right word for it. Bonus points for writing "an article in the style of the thing it's about." Spıke Ѧ 17:58 10-Feb-13
PS--Congrats on your successful use of Special:Upload. But, as for your comment, intended for use on uncyclopedia--Doesn't that kind of go without saying?! Separately, Nivrock beamed in a couple days after you and immediately registered with the Uncyclopedia:Proofreading Service. Based on your grammar, this could be a match made in heaven. Spıke Ѧ 19:05 10-Feb-13
- yeah sorry about my terrible grammar, thanks for the advice
I didn't mean to cast blame but to say where you could go for help. As it says above, "We all have our strengths and weaknesses." Now, could you try signing your messages with ~~~~ (four tildes) which will be converted to your signature and a timestamp? Thanks! Spıke Ѧ 19:22 10-Feb-13

edit Reading, England
As you left the last message after logging out, I noticed that you have a Southampton IP address. Would you be able to write us an article on Reading? As you can see by the red above, we don't have one. Spıke Ѧ 23:13 9-Feb-13
- i shall give it a go. just to clarify you mean the town?
Yes indeed. We already have something on reading, the study-hall activity. Thank you for your quick work. I am going to change the page title slightly, so the heading of this section should turn blue and you can click on it to go back to your article. And I'll jump in and contribute thoughts. I flew over and worked there from time to time during a seven-year period. We need to hit the Hexagon, snooker tournaments, and the Reading Royals (football). If you can figure out how to work Special:Upload, maybe you could find several photographs of the place; I never took any. Spıke Ѧ 10:20 10-Feb-13
PS--I asked another guy to add to your paragraph on 8th-Century history, but had several people tell me to leave you alone to finish your article. What would you prefer? Spıke Ѧ 12:15 10-Feb-13
- I would appreciate any help I can get on this, so am fine with additions to it- Magicrainbowunicorn
- I will look to see if I have any photographs, but I might not. I have been to Reading, but I don't think I took any photos
Hi! I don't know whether you are done with the new section on Demography--but it needs more. What you have written, simply, could be said about anywhere, as we all live in a place where a lot of people wish they were somewhere else! Spıke Ѧ 17:15 12-Feb-13
- yeah- i'm not done, just saving while I find some information. Also trying to find some pictures, I feel like it needs some sort of map. Magicrainbowunicorn (talk)
And just like that, you're addicted! I had fun with a map recently at Isle of Man. Spıke Ѧ 17:47 12-Feb-13
- Not sure if I should keep the demography section, not really much I can do with it.
- Oh and I looked at your Isle of Man map. How did you do that? Magicrainbowunicorn (talk)
(Please indent your paragraphs to set them off from posts from other people, by starting the paragraph with one or more : characters.) I grabbed the map from
worldatlas.com (If you click on any illustration, you will see the illustration's own page, which should indicate where it's from) then used IRFANVIEW to blot out the existing text, smooth over the background, and type my own text onto it. Spıke Ѧ 18:02 12-Feb-13
PS--You don't really need a demography section, as Reading's demography is not much different from the surrounding cities and less notable than London's. When people add demography sections, they usually go in two unfunny directions: Nonsense percentages, and trite stereotypes. Spıke Ѧ 18:04 12-Feb-13
- Okay, i got the feeling that was probably how it would end up. Magicrainbowunicorn (talk)
That map of yours certainly illustrates the concept! But I wonder if you could crop it so we get a little less ocean. It overwhelms the others in size, and underwhelms them in detail. Also, in specifying a pixel size (500px in this case), you might be making an assumption about the size of the reader's screen. They vary widely. Lastly, you are not getting timestamps on your posts; I think you are using three tildes and not four. Cheers! Spıke Ѧ 21:11 12-Feb-13
- will do, anything else you think I should add?Magicrainbowunicorn (talk) 18:27, February 14, 2013 (UTC)
I downloaded your map, cropped it, and re-uploaded it, though you should do the same cropping on the master copy if you kept it at home. How about this: Shouldn't the map show the national capital? The word London and an arrow whose tip disappears underneath the sprawling brown stain on the map! Spıke Ѧ 19:09 14-Feb-13
edit Homework--Quotations
Good morning! All the initial quotations on Homework are weak. An article doesn't need quotations, but if it has them, they should deliver really clever humor, while easing the reader into the page with the impression that he's reading an "encyclopedia article." Quotations attributed to you and to an archetype (the dyscalculic kid) break this, L33T shatters it, and quotations attributed to Captain Obvious make many people here groan, especially if there is no humor except to state something obvious. Would you please take charge of this? The key is to make notable figures say things about homework, especially things they would have said or did say, that become funny in a new way when used here. Getting rid of all the quotes is also an option for you. Cheers! Spıke Ѧ 12:38 13-Feb-13
Okay, I will get rid of the quotes temporarily whilst I find some better onesMagicrainbowunicorn (talk) 18:25, February 14, 2013 (UTC)
- The general rule on quotes is don't use quotes. There are exceptions. However, quotes are generally rouge punchlines, and starting out with a rouge punchline can ruin the tone of an article. Back in 2005/6, when most articles were scattershot at best, quotes were used all the time, so most established associate quotes (and other header clutter) with bad articles. --Mn-z 18:39, February 14, 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks, Mnbvcxz, for adding the history behind this. Spıke Ѧ 19:09 14-Feb-13
- Mnbvcxz is right, I think I've only used quotes on one of the pages I worked on, and it was a collab with an IP vandal. I just thought of another one, on "Clara Bow", which reminds me I should work on that page - not one of mine originally but one I've played with quite a bit. Nice work on all your pages, by the way, and good to meet you. I came here much later than 2005, so the historical perspective that others can bring is important to me. Aleister 22:00 14-2-'13
- Thanks, Mnbvcxz, for adding the history behind this. Spıke Ѧ 19:09 14-Feb-13
edit Reading, England
Excellent article. One suggestion. I was going to add 'Reading is pronounced locally as 'Otis', in memory of the singer Otis Redding whose family came around these parts.' Because people outside the UK won't know 'Reading' is sounded as 'Redding' rather than 'Reeding'. Just an idea. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 07:27, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
- That is downright baroque! If you had not just explained it to me, I would wonder what aspect of Berkshire history unknown to me "Otis" pertains to! Spıke Ѧ 12:01 18-Feb-13
Welcome back, Magic! Reading is the featured article on our main page today (and probably tomorrow)! Spıke Ѧ 19:53 8-Mar-13
Hello. Long time no see. I would say something more useful about my article being featured but all I can say to that is :). Magicrainbowunicorn (talk) 19:56, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
edit Uncyclopedian
Congratulations, you aren't sick-minded, you just view the world in a more inappropriate way! Funny? I think not, thus I deleted the quote you added to this article. This quote only serves to insult people who help our wiki by contributing to it. -- Simsilikesims(♀GUN) Talk here. 20:06, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
- sorry i didn't mean to offend anyone Magicrainbowunicorn (talk) 20:07, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
- Welcome back! I second my fellow Admin Simsilikesims on removing the quotation, though I didn't find it so potentially insulting. But the issues are exactly what we already discussed in Section 5 above. A quotation you can attribute only to "uncyclopedian" [sic] doesn't help the credibility of the article; I think all you are doing is looking for a way to work in a stock quip that doesn't really add cleverness to the article it's in. Three of us have been working on guidance for new editors at Uncyclopedia:Templates/In-universe/Quotes, toward getting people to avoid using quotations for their own sake. Spıke Ѧ 20:11 19-Mar-13

92 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - July/August 2010
($45) Bright ruby-red. Dark berry and cherry aromas complicated by dried rose and baking spices and an exotic hint of apricot. Pretty wild and expressive pinot, offering sweet dark fruit flavors lifted by tangy acidity. The finish repeats the spice and dark berry notes and lingers with very good tenacity and gentle grip. This one should reward a few more years of patience.

• Lance beats cancer, but insurance won't cover mounting dental care costs
By Sean Pearson
Homer Tribune
Lance Mackey is one tough dude.
The four-time Yukon Quest and four-time Iditarod Champion has spent many a long night out on the frigid trail with nothing more than a team of sled dogs and a headlamp for company. With a ruggedness and never-give-up attitude reminiscent of Alaska's early pioneers, Mackey has surpassed even his own level of toughness with his latest victory over cancer.
The fight, however, hasn't come without a number of physical, emotional, and even financial scars that Mackey continues to face following his treatment. The 43 year old lost the last of his teeth in January, and his jawbones are currently too weak to support posts and implants.
"I'll go six-eight months with no teeth," Mackey explained. "It's not easy to get used to running around with no teeth."
Mackey will forgo this year's Iditarod in favor of competing in shorter racing venues — such as this weekend's Anchorage Fur Rendezvous race. He vows to return to long-distance racing as soon as he can. And, while he sold many of his veteran sled dogs to help pay medical/dental expenses, shorter courses will provide better training for a new litter of puppies.
Because his insurance does not cover dental care, Mackey has been paying for costly treatments out of his own pocket.
That's where you come in.
In an effort to raise funds to help offset some of Mackey's medical expenses, the Down East Saloon will hold a benefit for Lance this Friday, Feb. 28.
It's not something Mackey himself would ever consider asking for, but friend and supporter Kirsten Ballard set up a Lance Mackey Medical Fund campaign on FundRazr. All money goes toward paying his current medical/dental bills.
The Homer event starts at 3 p.m. Friday, and the public is invited and welcome to attend.
Organizers said this will be a covered-dish event, with activities like live and silent auctions, book signings, photo shoots, Iditarod documentary viewing and a talk by Lance.
Of particular interest locally, the concert portion of Friday's benefit at the Down East will feature Sabe Flores, Lance's partner and dog handler. Flores is a singer/songwriter who has created a unique musical blend of vocals and cello.
A showing of the documentary, "Chasing History: Iditarod 2010," starts at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, and is followed by auctions at 7 p.m. Auction items include unique mushing and Alaska historic items.
(Only cash, checks or money orders will be accepted. Sorry, no credit cards.)
In his Monday Facebook status, Mackey posted that his medical and dental bills — to this point — have been covered. With more expenses soon to come, event organizers said any money in the Lance Mackey Medical Fund will be used for his future expenses.
Donations for the auction can be made by contacting Marlene at the Down East Saloon: 907-235-6002 or via email at: email@example.com.
This great athlete needs all the support we can give him. He has proven so many times that there is, nor probably ever will be, another like Lance Mackey. We'll miss him in the Iditarod 0f 2014. Hope to see him back soon.

How are pressure sores treated?
There are several things you can do to help pressure sores heal:
- Relieving the pressure that caused the sore
- Treating the sore itself
- Improving nutrition and other conditions to help the sore heal
What can be done to reduce pressure on the sore?
Don't lie on pressure sores. Use foam pads or pillows to take pressure off the sore. Special mattresses, mattress covers, foam wedges or seat cushions can help support you in bed or in a chair to reduce or relieve pressure. Try to avoid resting directly on your hip bone when you're lying on your side. Use pillows under one side so that your weight rests on the fleshy part of your buttock instead of on your hip bone. Also, use pillows to keep your knees and ankles apart. When lying on your back, place a pillow under your lower calves to lift your ankles slightly off the bed. When lying in bed, change your position at least every 2 hours.
When sitting in a chair or wheelchair, sit upright and straight. An upright, straight position will allow you to move more easily and help prevent new sores. You should change positions every 15 minutes when sitting in a chair or wheelchair. If you cannot move by yourself, have your caregiver help you shift your position.
How should the pressure sore be kept clean?
In order to heal, pressure sores must be kept clean and free of dead tissue. Stage 1 sores can be cleaned with mild soap and water. You can clean stage 3 sores by rinsing the area with a salt and water solution. The saltwater removes extra fluid and loose material. Your doctor or nurse can show you how to clean your pressure sore.
Pressure sores should be kept covered with a bandage or dressing. Sometimes gauze is used. The gauze is kept moist and must be changed at least once a day. Newer kinds of dressings include a see-through film and a hydrocolloid dressing. A hydrocolloid dressing is a bandage made of a gel that molds to the pressure sore and helps promote healing and skin growth. These dressings can stay on for several days at a time.
Dead tissue (which may look like a scab) in the sore can interfere with healing and lead to infection. There are many ways to remove dead tissue from the pressure sore. Rinsing the sore every time you change the bandage is helpful. Special dressings that help your body dissolve the dead tissue can also be used. They are left in place for several days.
Another way to remove dead tissue is to put wet gauze bandages on the sore and allow them to dry. The dead tissue sticks to the gauze and is removed when the gauze is pulled off. For more severe pressure sores, dead tissue must be removed surgically.
Removing dead tissue and cleaning the sore can hurt. Your doctor can suggest a pain reliever for you to take 30 to 60 minutes before your dressing is changed to help reduce pain.
Why is good nutrition important for healing sores?
Good nutrition is important because it helps your body heal the sore. If you don't get enough calories, protein and other nutrients (especially vitamin C and zinc, which can help heal wounds like pressure sores), your body won't be able to heal, no matter how well you care for the pressure sore. Your doctor, nurse or a dietitian can give you advice about a healthy diet. Be sure to tell your doctor if you have lost or gained weight recently.
How can I tell if the sore is getting better?
As a pressure sore heals, it slowly gets smaller. Less fluid drains from it. New, healthy tissue starts growing at the bottom of the sore. This new tissue is light red or pink and looks lumpy and shiny. It may take 2 to 4 weeks of treatment before you see these signs of healing.

In 1977, Robert Cavanaugh graduated from the Milton Hershey School.
In addition to his seats on the boards, he serves as chief investment officer of Vestar Development Co. in Phoenix. This year, he became the chairman of the Milton Hershey School board of managers and the Hershey Trust Co. board of directors upon the retirement of LeRoy Zimmerman.
Earlier this week, he sat down with The Patriot-News for a candid, wide-ranging interview on the school's enrollment, its place in the community and ongoing issues, including an investigation by the state attorney general's office and a lawsuit filed against the school by an HIV-positive teenager.
What follows is the interview, condensed only for brevity and clarity.
Q: From an outside perspective, I think very few people know what the two boards actually do. Could you talk about the school board, the trust company board and what their functions are?
A: Sure. I think their responsibilities overlap in many ways — and Mr. Hershey set it up this way.
The school board of managers has primary responsibility for overseeing all aspects of the school. That includes the administration, education and the residential portion of the school. ... 'Are we providing the proper programs? Are we helping our kids get through the school in the right way? When things aren't working out for kids, are we giving them the opportunity to figure out what's not working?'
... It's really all aspects of the school is what the board of managers has responsibility for.
Now, the trust company board of directors really oversees the 'trust' itself. And by the 'trust,' I always think of it more as the money in essence.
Milton Hershey set up some pretty specific rules in his deed about what you could spend and couldn't spend, and he also said you have to maintain this thing in perpetuity. And that's a very unique challenge. I'm in the money-management world and nowhere else do I think about perpetuity like you have to here.
... We have to provide the financial resources for the school to continue to run, but we have to invest that trust in a way that provides the income but also ensures that it will be there well beyond the lives of any of us.
Q: The school board side of it — is that mostly policy-type decisions as opposed to day-to-day operations?
A: Well, yes, because we leave the day-to-day decision-making to the administration. We try to set policy. ... Their job in essence is to run the school day to day.
Q: The school trust includes ownership of the entertainment company and also a stake in the chocolate company. So, as a trustee, do you feel any responsibility for Milton's legacy outside the bounds of the school?
A: I think it would be naive for us to attempt to manage the trust in a vacuum, because a lot of what the trust has is directly tied into the community.
So that if you could — we hope never to — but if you could paint a scenario where the community begins to deteriorate, there would be a direct impact on the trust.
Perhaps the value of the chocolate company does or doesn't begin to fall. That one's probably the most insulated of them, because it's a worldwide enterprise now.
... The entertainment and resort company, the value on that would begin to fall ... if Hershey wasn't viewed as a desirable place to vacation.
But most importantly — from my perspective — the school is in the community. It's not a concrete wall around the campus, it's spread out throughout the community.
... While we have a fiduciary duty to maximize and protect the value of Milton Hershey's financial assets, I believe that directly correlates to making sure you understand how those decisions impact the community.
Because the school is in the community and a lot of what we own — including 10,000 acres of land — is in the community. You think about the 10,000 acres of land. If this community deteriorates, it's not worth a whole lot. It's worth a lot today because it's such a desirable place to be.
So we can't say, 'Let's just — in some way — not think about the other constituencies that are impacted by our decisions' because we know that if we ignore them, ultimately it will come back to diminish the value of what we have.
Q: One of the goals for the school has been to reach a student population of 2,000. Are you looking beyond that goal? Has there been any discussion beyond that?
A: We've started that discussion.
When I was in the school, it was actually bigger in terms of the number of people than when I joined the board, which was troubling to me. ... As I got into it more, I said: 'We actually do have the opportunity to grow the school fairly dramatically and I think we have an obligation to do so.'
And I think the board all saw that the same way.
So we said, 'What's a practical number we could set out as a stretch objective?'
... You set in place the capital necessary to house, educate and provide for all of the other needs of the kids. There's an upfront physical cost and a financial cost to doing that, but then you have an operating cost associated with that.
... What you don't want to do is stretch too quickly, find out you can't meet your operating objectives, pull back and then have just spent $20 million on homes that are sitting out there vacant.
... So, we are beginning to talk about what happens when we hit 2,000. ... We did slow the growth, so it's not a 2013 decision. Now it's probably more like a 2015 decision.
Q: Almost two years ago, the state attorney general began an investigation into some aspects of the trust's operations. Has the office been in communication with the trust?
A: So, we've been fully cooperating with them in all of their information requests, document requests — we've given them everything they've asked for.
They've given us the sense that they're ready to give us their initial findings. And that's literally going to occur in the next couple of weeks.
They're going to say, 'Look, here's what we've found, here's what we are comfortable with, here's what we think you need to think about.'
... What we're encouraging them to do is not necessarily only to look backward and say, 'Geez, you shouldn't have done this or you shouldn't have done that.' But let's put in place policies that prevent us from doing that going forward.
... But what's more important for us is to maintain a positive working relationship with them, get their feedback and then ultimately implement what we believe is appropriate and discuss those things that we're not necessarily in agreement on.
... So my guess is we'll find a way to come to an amicable solution that gives them comfort that things are running the way they should run and allows us to maintain our independence and also execute our responsibilities as it relates to the school and the trust.
... I am cognizant of the fact that our former chairman's son-in-law is running [for attorney general], and I think they don't want it to spill into his campaign and, potentially, if he were to win the election, his term.
That would be problematic for everybody. ... So, I think we're all saying: 'Lets get this behind us. You can obviously do what you believe is appropriate, we'll learn from that,' and then that takes its own course, so there is no sense that this was in some way delayed either to his benefit or detriment depending on which side of the table you sit on.
Q: The current legal case involving the HIV-positive student. The decision to not admit that student, was that purely an administrative decision or was that kicked up to the board level?
A: So the decision was made by the administration. They did inform the board of the decision and they gave the board the rationale for why they made the decision they did. The board appreciated being informed of that decision and supported the administration in the decision made and the position it took.
Q: The one thing I find interesting about this case is that the school's stance has not been to have the case thrown out. Instead, the school has been pursuing a declaratory judgment. Could you speak at all to the motive behind that?
A: It's a tough issue in a lot of ways. We feel responsible for the kids at the school today. We're not judging this kid or any other HIV-positive kid in terms of their motives. But what we're saying is, 'Look, the risk goes up.'
... In essence, we're saying to the court, 'If you can help us, if you can give us some sense for how the law interprets this, we will then take that and determine what to do with it.'
... We think that the administration has made a decision which is prudent. If the court does not believe that is the case, then we may go back and overturn or some way look to modify the decision that was made.
So, we want to the court to weigh in to the extent that it is willing to do that, or at least give us some guidance.
... If we have a sense that the court believes we in some way discriminated, we're going to move to make that go away. If we get a sense that the court believes what we did was prudent, then we're going to look to quietly settle this, make sure this individual is taken care of appropriately and move on.
This is a tough issue.

SPRINGFIELD – When local hockey fans last saw the Syracuse Crunch, they were on their way to a sweep against the Springfield Falcons in the American Hockey League playoffs.
The Crunch return to the MassMutual Center on Friday night for a game in which both sides have rosters considerably different from what they were when that playoff series took place in May of 2013.
This time around, the Springfield club still looks like a playoff team, but Syracuse doesn't. The Falcons broke their longest losing streak, five games, with a 4-0 victory over Albany on Tuesday night, and continue to hold the AHL's best winning percentage (.685). The Crunch, meanwhile, have a .478 percentage and stand 12th in the AHL's 15-team Eastern Conference.
As Falcons coach Brad Larsen has said so often, he and his players don't let the other team's past performance play into their preparation. As far as they're concerned, all that matters is having good practice sessions, and thinking about the game right in front of them.
This will be one of four for the Falcons this week. They'll play a return game at Syracuse Saturday night, then wheel back home before heading to Providence for a 3:05 p.m. start Sunday.
The Falcons stand 29-12-1-4 with 30 to play. They're averaging only 3.04 goals per game, so they need to continue to play the tight defense they showed against Albany.
In that game, goaltender Mike McKenna notched his third shutout. He leads the AHL with a 1.78 goals-against average in 16 starts.
The Falcons have regained the services of right wing Trent Vogelhuber, who played Tuesday night for the first time since Oct. 18, when an injury forced him onto the disabled list. In the 2013 playoffs, Vogelhuber played very well.
In Tuesday's game, the Springfield club played without injured left wing Sean Collins, but expects to have him back for the weekend games.
Syracuse's lineup includes Jon DiSalvatore, a former Springfield Junior Coyotes player who later starred at Providence College. Over eight-plus AHL seasons, DiSalvatore has played 612 games, plus 43 in the playoffs.
ICE CHIPS: At Friday's game, fans will be able to meet New England Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo. He'll sign autographs from 7 to 8 p.m. at a table on the arena's concourse ... Center Jake Hansen is the only one to play in all 46 of Springfield's games ... Tuesday's was one of the most penalty-ridden for the Falcons. They were whistled for 10 penalties, Albany 12 ... Syracuse goaltender Kristers Gudlevskis will play for his native country, Latvia, in the Winter Olympics. He has four shutouts among his 21 starts for the Crunch ... Springfield's parent Columbus Blue Jackets play at San Jose Friday night in their last game before the Olympic break. They'll be off until Feb. 27.

Springfield Falcons looking for a little payback against Syracuse Crunch

NEWARK — Mike Lupica of the Daily News has a message for New Jersey: This Super Bowl really belongs to New York City.
Mike Vaccaro of the Post, meanwhile, notes that the Garden State simply wants one thing this week: "to be more than just the E Street Band backing up The Boss."
Two of New York City's sports columnists have weighed in on the complaint by many Jerseyans that the Big Apple is getting more attention in the lead-up to Sunday's Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.
U.S. Sen. Cory Booker said he's beyond "miffed." Gov. Chris Christie joked that the Super Bowl's players landed at Newark's airport — and not LaGuardia. Even Miss New Jersey said she's "so upset about it."
But Lupica writes in a column published today it doesn't matter that the teams are staying in New Jersey hotels, that Media Day was held at the Prudential Center in Newark, and that the game itself is being held in a stadium in Bergen County.
"This is still a New York City Super Bowl," he writes.
"This doesn't mean that Booker's state doesn't have a huge fun factor going for it lately, because it does, just going off Chris Christie's staff alone," Lupica continues, throwing in a joke about the George Washington Bridge scandal engulfing the governor's administration. "But the Super Bowl is here because of New York City, even if the game is being played over at the place the late Sonny Werblin, when running the Meadowlands and enticing the Giants across the Hudson, used to call '13th Avenue.'"
Werblin is the former Jets owner who helped build the Meadowlands and bring the Giants to New Jersey in 1976.
Lupica adds that saying New Jersey is sharing the Super Bowl with New York "is like suggesting that "San Francisco will be 'sharing' Super Bowl L with Santa Clara in 2016 because the 49ers have moved there from Candlestick Park."
"The NFL didn't want this game here because of that big gray bowl where the Giants and Jets play their games," he concludes. "They wanted this game here because of New York."
As for Vaccaro? In a column published today, the former Star-Ledger writer compares the situation to the two women at the center of the 1987 film "Fatal Attraction."
"New Jersey, simply put, is Glenn Close as Alex Forrest this week," he writes.
In other words, the state will not be ignored.
Vaccaro discloses that he lives in New Jersey "gladly, not at gunpoint" — though also because of its proximity to the city where he works: New York.
"And I admit it, when I'm in St. Louis or St. Kitts, when I'm asked where I'm from, I often say 'New York,' more for geographic simplicity than geographic slight," he adds.
So, does it all come down to the wisdom of a character from "The Godfather"?
"Maybe," Vaccaro writes, "it's like the philosopher Peter Clemenza once said: 'These things gotta happen every five years or so, every 10 years. Helps to get rid of the bad blood.'"
In the end, Vaccaro notes that "even the most ardent Jerseyan would admit, under truth serum, the Super Bowl would sooner come to Easter Island than East Rutherford if not for the fact its neighbor" happens to be New York.
"After all, Max Weinberg is a hell of a fine drummer," he writes. "But would he be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame if he didn't happen to share a band with a guitar player named Springsteen?"

Just wanted to let you folks know I will forever be boycotting all Parma businesses until the traffic cameras are removed. This is simply a scam in order for the city to spend more money it does not have.
I was given a ticket for going 28 in a 20 zone. The fact that I received the ticket a month later gives me absolutely no ability to fight the ticket in my defense. You simply take a picture of my vehicle and say I was speeding. If I was given the ticket by an officer right away I would be able to recollect the situation. How can I prove it was not a mistake made by your cameras? I'm sure this never happens right? I put an average of 65-70,000 miles on my vehicle for my work every year and cannot remember the last time I had a speeding ticket.
Start looking for "Boycott Parma" signage and literature because I've had enough. I'm sure your local businesses will appreciate your fine work.
Fed up with an out of control government. From local state and federal. You're nothing but thieves.

An initiative that would result in all U.S. students studying the same things in core subjects is drawing criticism from some state school board members, who say they fear it's the first step toward a nationalized education system.
The Alabama Board of Education in a work session today heard a presentation by Tommy Bice, deputy state superintendent of instruction, about the Common Core State Standards, an initiative to create the same standards for all students across state lines.
The initiative was developed by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State School Officers, who this month released a final draft of the standards.
The standards, which if adopted would replace the state's course of study for English language arts and math, outlines exactly what students are expected to learn in those subjects in each grade.
For example, if a student is learning about triangles in third grade at a school in Georgia, and moves to Alabama midyear, that student would be learning the same thing here. Currently, it is left up to each state to define its standards.
State Superintendent Joe Morton said he at least wants the board to consider the standards, but said he didn't want to bring them to the board until the final version is drafted. "When we agreed to participate in this, we weren't bound to adopt these standards if we didn't like them," he told the board.
The proposed national standards are more detailed and rigorous than Alabama's course of study, Bice told the board, but he said there are many similarities.
Board members Stephanie Bell and Betty Peters, both Republicans, questioned the new standards, saying those issues should be left up to states to decide.
The English language arts standards are available for viewing at www.corestandards.org/the-standards/english-language-arts-standards. The math standards are available for viewing at www.corestandards.org/the-standards/mathematics.

Indonesia disasters
On October 25, 2010, an earthquake and tsunami struck the Mentawai Islands near Sumatra. At least 500 people are reported to have been killed. An estimated 20,000 people have been displaced.
Additionally, on October 26, 2010, the eruption of Mount Merapi on the island of Java has resulted in the destruction of homes and the evacuation of an estimated 36,000 people. Reports from Habitat for Humanity Indonesia indicate nearly 130 Habitat home partner families are among those directly affected.
Habitat's response in Indonesia
In West Sumatra, Habitat has resettled two villages including 94 families, built 94 transitional shelters, one evacuation building and 180 mile road, facilitated community-based disaster risk management training, and planted trees in the community.
In response to the Merapi volcano eruption, Habitat has served 4,149 families through new home construction, rehabs, water and sanitation, emergency shelter kits, well cleaning, and CBDRM training.

Gabrielle Farley | Say What? About Santa
The Review visited Captain Johnston Blakely Elementary to talk about Santa Claus, elves and the holidays with kindergarteners.
Where does Santa live?
"The North Pole. He does not get cold since he has his coat on."
Who else is up there with Santa at the North Pole?
"Sea lions. And his reindeer and his sled."
How many elves are up there?
"I think he has 11."
What does an elf look like?
"They have curly shoes and they have kind of twiggly hats."
How do elves know what toys to make?
"They have a list."
How does Santa know if you have been good or bad?
"He sees you at night and he sees you in the daytime."
How have you been?
"Good. [Pauses.] I've been good and bad."
What have you done that's been good?
"I share with my brother. I share some of my dolls when he wants to play with them, and I share my Legos."
What happens if somebody has been kind of naughty and not so nice?
"He does not give them presents. Santa is not kidding about that."
Have you ever left cookies for Santa?
"I gave him three cookies. And threw carrots out in my front yard for the reindeer."

- Forum: Classic Menswear
Hi R_R, The shoes are wearing on the front of the toe. There's no walking-related wear on them (the soles are fine, etc.) It seems to be a problem with the leather, not something intrinsic to the type of shoe. Did you have any recommendations for alternative models? What a normal loafer be more appropriate for day-to-day wear? Thanks!

There's nothing worse than when fans of a sports franchise give up all hope and dismiss the team's chances before the season even begins. When it comes to the Miami Dolphins, there is absolutely no reason why 'Fins fans should do so. This team is loaded with talent and could come out of nowhere to make a playoff run and shock the league.
So, if you're a Miami Dolphins fan and you're reading this, please don't give up on this team. The past has been tough, and there certainly hasn't been a ton to cheer for over the past few years, but fans need to be optimistic and look forward, not backwards, when it comes to this team. It could be a really fun season down in South Beach, and here's why:

Gap year India
For the gap year traveller, India has long been the one to beat. It's not just a country but an entire (sub)continent, and it has the star attractions to match, from the deserts of Rajasthan to the mountains of the Himalayas, the beaches of Goa to the Taj Mahal. And that's barely scratching the surface: you could spend your whole year travelling here and still not see it all.
Adventure travel India
India has a vast range of adventure travel opportunities. There's hiking and trekking, camel safaris in the deserts of Rajasthan and Jeep safaris on the trail of jungle cats in Kanha. You can take a boat down the Ganges to the sacred city of Varanasi, rent a houseboat in Kashmir or even go white water rafting in the spiritual centre of Rishikesh.
Student travel India
India is well set for student travel. It's easy to negotiate, the infrastructure is there, everyone speaks English and there's a strong link with the old colonial power. You'll find that days and nights spent on trains and buses are a huge part of the experience, and that you don't even have to try to soak in the history and culture. It's everywhere, not just in the temples and palaces, colonial forts and municipal buildings, whether it's a colonial monument in the middle of cosmopolitan Mumbai or an intricately carved shrine on a beach in Kerala.
Volunteer work India
India may be an emerging superpower, but there are still vast differences of wealth and opportunity here. You can help by making volunteer work part of your trip. There are opportunities to help deprived children and adults in the Himalayas, Jaipur or Goa, and to join social and labour projects in villages.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- A new report by the Brookings Institution estimates that almost 30,000 households in the Birmingham-Hoover metro area don't have a car and a majority of those households are in the suburbs, where the residents are much less likely to live near a bus stop.
The report, "Transit Access and Zero-Vehicle Households," is based on U.S. census data, surveys of transit systems, and demographic and business surveys by the Nielsen Company.
Brookings estimates that 6.4 percent of all metro-Birmingham households don't have access to a car. Of those 28,929 zero-vehicle households, 46 percent are in the city of Birmingham, while 54 percent are in the suburbs.
Of those carless households, Brookings estimates that 70 percent are low-income, 22 percent are middle- class and 7 percent are in the upper-income brackets.
Despite frequent complaints about transit in Birmingham, Brookings' estim ates show carless households in the city of Birmingham are much more likely to be within threefourths of a mile from a transit stop.
Through an examination of Birmingham bus routes, Brookings estimates that 98 percent of zero-vehicle households in the city are near transit stops.
That contrasts starkly with the suburbs, where only 33 percent of carless households are close to bus stops.
"The city does really well," said Adie Tomer, a senior research analyst at Brookings and author of the report. "If you live in the city of Birmingham, you are likely able to get on a bus."
However, where Birmingham -- and the metro area as a whole -- fares more poorly is connecting transit to jobs. Only about 23 percent of the jobs in the region are reachable within 90 minutes by public transit.
"Even if you can get on the bus, it leaves you out of reach of three-fourths of the jobs," Tomer said.
Hunting jobs
While transit and the struggles of low-income residents traditionally have been thought of as inner city problems, low-income residents are spreading out into the suburbs in pursuit of jobs, Tomer said.
This transit access report is part of an emerging body of research showing how American metro areas are changing with suburban sprawl, sometimes in unexpected ways. Tomer said that Brookings' analysis of census data shows 60.4 percent of the low-income households in the metro area now live outside the city of Birmingham.
However, they often find themselves without transit options when they get to the suburbs. The Brookings report suggests those carless households in the suburbs have to come up with a variety of makeshift options to make it to work, from carpooling to walking to borrowing cars. "These are real questions that people face," Tomer said. "A lot of them are unable to reach transit service of any kind."
Out of the 100 largest metro areas, the Birmingham area ranks 89th for the percentage of carless households with access to transit. Most of the other metro areas with low access to transit also are in the South.
Tomer said Southern cities have been more likely to spread out across the landscape without much accommodation for transit. "All of our communities were built for the car," he said.
Going forward, communities might want to look for ways to provide people transit choices, he said. That can increase economic opportunity for individuals, he said, and creating better transit connections to jobs can be good for the economy.
"Making sure you have access to a broad labor pool is good for business," Tomer said.

Outdoor burning permits for all residential and commercial brush piles will expire at the end of June.
The end of burn-permit season in San Juan County coincides with a statewide outdoor-burn ban authorized by the Department of Natural Resources, which goes into effect July 1.
Recreational fires — two feet in diameter or less — are still allowed if contained within a suitable fire ring.
The statewide ban is expected to remain in effect until October. San Juan County each year adheres to DNR's schedule on burn bans to lower the risk of uncontrolled fire.
The county Fire Marshal encourages islanders and visitors alike to be cautious with open flames, especially as vegetation dries out over the course of the summer. Recreational fire should be completely extinguished before left unattended.
For more info, visit the Fire Marshal website, www.sjcfiremarshal.org, or call, (360) 378-3473.

Pakistan has one of the highest reported rates of childhood intellectual disabilities in the world. Services for such individuals are rudimentary. This mixed-methods study of childhood intellectual disability in Pakistan showed that:
There is a need to develop feasible, cost-effective, community level interventions which can be integrated into existing healthcare systems.

Disability and Society, vol. 24, 2009, p. 461-474
Discussions about user involvement in mental health services throw up four major areas of concern: the capacity of service users to participate, their lack of participation skills, the need for a positive organisational culture, and the need for arenas of participation. This article presents evidence from participatory action research with Irish mental health service users which explored how they could more effectively participate in advisory committees. Service users identified barriers to their equal participation which fall within Baker's 2004 equality of condition framework. These include unequal cultural, physical, mental, economic and time resources, stigma, and lack of respect for experiential knowledge.

During the last decade Dutch healthcare organisations have developed programmes to support the employment of people with learning difficulties in the ordinary workplace, an innovation that follows from a broader government policy to facilitate the empowerment and social integration of such citizens. Supported employment programmes provide assistance in the form of job coaches, transportation, technology, specialised job training and client-specific supervision. This study used the innovative Q-methodology to investigate supported employees' own views of their employment, focusing on the characteristics they felt best contributed to their social integration. Two views on the impact of supported employment on social integration emerged: 'work as participation' and 'work as structure'. The group with the first view placed greater value on participation, task variety, feeling appreciated and belonging, while the second valued working independently, clear working agreements, and friendly co-workers.

Friends, the folks at True Value heard that I love doing projects around the house, so they invited me to join their True Value DIY Blog Squad. I think it's going to be fun. For the next few months, I'll be doing big and small projects in the house — and outside in the yard too. I'll gather all the supplies I need at my local True Value. Then I'll report on the projects here.
I know exactly what I want to do for my first project: I made a list of a dozen or so minor repairs that need to be made around the house. Things like a towel-rack that's fallen down and a curtain rod that's broken. I'm going to schedule a Blair House Fix-it Day and take care of all those loose ends. I love checking those sorts of things off my mental list!
What about you? Any projects or fixes you're about to tackle around the house?

It wasn't too long ago that hybrid buyers expected to endure some hardships in the pursuit of great fuel economy. Usually, those hardships took the form of lazy acceleration and handling that seemed like an afterthought. But you already know what I'm going to say – the 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid absolutely eliminates those drawbacks and gives you a car that excels both as a green vehicle and as a driver's car.
The Accord Hybrid starts at a thrifty $29,945 including the destination fee, and delivers 50 MPG in the city and 45 MPG on the highway, with a 47 MPG average in real-world driving. Only the Toyota Prius and Prius C offer higher city mileage, but they do so using a smaller platform. In the world of mid-sized sedans, the Honda Accord has the fuel economy edge.
The Accord Hybrid also merits praise for its on-road manners. The car's 2.0-liter gasoline engine delivers plenty of power when you ask for it, and the electric motor half of the hybrid team helps with the push. The overall power rating for the drivetrain is a healthy 196 horsepower, with 226 pound-feet of torque courtesy of the electric motor. The Accord's electric motor is also capable of getting the car moving all on its own, which is a nice feature that hybrid drivers enjoy at every stoplight. The only available transmission is a continuously variable unit, but it is implemented nicely and does the job without drama. You will notice a little engine noise under hard acceleration, but once that's done, the Accord offers a pleasantly quiet drive.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about the Accord hybrid is how well it corners and handles. The steering is crisp and precise, offering the driver confidence and a sense of control that is often lacking when automakers put low-rolling-resistance tires on a car in search of the last few miles per gallon. Those tires also generate more than a usual amount of noise on Portland's rough highways, and the Accord does a great job of damping that sound.
For a mid-size car, the Accord offers great interior space, easily carrying 5 adults in comfort. Both front and rear passengers will enjoy full-grown legroom and plenty of space for shoulders. You won't be putting an elbow into the person next to you! The one tradeoff happens in the trunk, which is smaller than expected in order to house the batteries.
The dash and control layout is designed with typical Honda efficiency and attention to detail. All the usual creature comforts are there in the base model, including zone climate control, cruise control, keyless entry and ignition, Bluetooth hands-free phone support, a nice stereo with iPod/USB connection, and a Pandora app if you pair a smartphone with the system. But the central fact is that the Accord is roomy, comfortable, and pleasant.
Safety and tech options run the gamut, with base models featuring the full slate of expected features such as antilock brakes, stability and traction control, rearview camera with an 8-inch display screen, and Honda's own blind spot radar, called LaneWatch. Moving up to the EX-L middle trim level adds lane departure and forward collision warning, full smartphone integration with HondaLink apps, Satellite radio, and heated front seats. Top of the line Touring models include voice-controlled GPS navigation, touchscreen display, LED headlights, and adaptive cruise control.
The bottom line on the Honda Accord Hybrid is that the only time you really need to notice that it's a hybrid is when you lay down some extra money to buy it, and when you get that money back as you drive past the gas station. If you're shopping hybrids this year, the 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid merits your serious consideration.
Base Price: $29,945 (including destination charges)
Type: Four-door sedan
Engine: 2.0-liter DOHC inline 4-cylinder with Electric Motor
Layout: Front-engine, front-wheel-drive
Transmission: Continuously Variable
MPG: 50 city/45 highway
Safety: Front airbags; side impact airbags; side curtain airbags; LATCH; anti-lock brakes with brake assist; traction control system; electronic stability control, blind-spot awareness, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, forward collision warning.

SAYREVILLE - A 24 year old man was arrested and charged with being in possession of two handguns, a stun gun, and a large quantity of marijuana on Aug. 18, according to police.
Sayreville police were dispatched to Skytop Gardens on Ernston Road at 6:40 p.m. for a welfare check. Information received was that there were possibly two firearms at the residence.
Daniel Novak, 24, of Parlin, was found to be in possession of two handguns and a stun gun. One of the handguns was reported stolen in Virginia.
Additional information received at the scene indicated Novak was possibly in possession of a large quantity of marijuana. A drug detection canine from South Plainfield responded to the scene and indicated a positive reaction to a safe in a closet of the apartment. After obtaining a search warrant for the safe a large amount of marijuana was seized.
Novak was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance with the intent to distribute, possession of marijuana, greater than 50 grams, possession of stolen property, and 2 counts of possession of a firearm while in the course of committing a controlled dangers substance offense.
There was also an outstanding bench warrant for Novak from the South Amboy municipal court. He was being housed at the Middlesex County Adult Correction Center in North Brunswick.

Want to keep the planet and your portfolio green? The Fool shows you how in our special series on Earth-friendly investing.
If this Earth Day finds you more in tune with clean energy than ever before, buying a hybrid car isn't the only way you can take action. Investing in alternative energy can come with a learning curve, but even if you don't know a photovoltaic cell from a wind turbine, there's still an easy way to participate in the sector's booming potential.
In a single purchase, you can snap up a basket of alternative-energy stocks through one of the many exchange-traded funds that specialize in clean energy. Your timing couldn't be better, since the industry's recent roughing up provides you with attractive entry points this year.
2008 Return
PowerShares WilderHill Clean Energy (AMEX: PBW )
PowerShares Global Clean Energy (AMEX: PBD )
Market Vectors Global Alternative Energy (NYSE: GEX )
With higher gasoline prices and elevated environmental concerns increasing clean energy's popularity on economic and ethical grounds alike, now's a great time to invest in the sector. The lower prices at which all three of the above funds trade, after suffering double-digit percentage dips early in 2008, is just the icing on the cake.
Let's take a closer look at the WilderHill fund, which David Gardner recommended to Rule Breakers subscribers two years ago. Even with this year's nearly 21% dip, the pick is still handily beating the market, fueled by a 60% surge in 2007.
The fund's biggest holdings are solar energy plays. Four of its largest investments -- JA Solar (Nasdaq: JASO ) , Yingli Green Energy (NYSE: YGE ) , Trina Solar (NYSE: TSL ) and Suntech Power (NYSE: STP ) -- are all Chinese companies enjoying rapid growth by enabling our migration towards solar energy.
Given the pounding that Chinese equities have taken since peaking late last year, it's only natural for an ETF loaded with numerous Chinese stocks to falter. However, many of these companies have healthier fundamentals now than they did when their stocks peaked several months ago.
If you're an autopilot investor who likes to pick themes, then let seasoned managers handle the rest, ETFs like PowerShares WilderHill Clean Energy offer a simple way to piggyback on professional investors' expertise. It's a great time to make some green by thinking green.

- Fax capabilities in QuickBooks
Can I fax invoices or other forms directly from QuickBooks?
QuickBooks does not support in-product fax capabilities, however, there are third party applications that allow for this feature. Please visit QuickBooks Solutions Marketplace for a list of third party developers that may have the solution you are looking for. Other results can be found by searching the Internet.
Most common fax software applications will install a fax printer driver that allows you to handle faxing as if you were printing the transaction.
