alum conditioning of anaerobically digested sludge for entrifuge dewatering
Does anyone out therer have experience with alum conditioning of anaerobically digested sludge for centrifuge dewatering? Thanks
Seeing as nobody has added a reply for the last 11 months I'll give my two cents. From what I have read years ago about Alum conditioning, is that instead of using Polymers and such, Alum was preferable choice and used for Coagulation and Floculation then Anaerobically Digested and dried to produce a class A Biosolid that was pelletized,bagged and sold for fertilizer. Seems to me this method may have been used in Europe somewhere.

- open new windowNOZOMI Project Site
NOZOMI (PLANET-B) was Japan's first Mars explorer and its main mission was to research Martian upper atmosphere by focusing on the interaction with solar wind. On July 4, 1998, the explorer was launched by M-V-3 rocket from Kagoshima Space Center in Uchinoura. On the way to Mars, however, troubles occurred with NOZOMI and substantial orbit changes were made. Thus, it approached closely Mars in December 2003, four years behind the original plan. Due to frequent problems, however, the systems required to enter orbit around Mars did not work. Despite of every possible effort to restore the functions, we had to abandon insertion of the explorer into orbit around Mars on December 9, 2003. NOZOMI became an artificial planet that flies forever in orbit around the Sun near that of Mars.

|NOZOMI performed a lunar swing-by twice on August 24 and December 8, 1998. On December 20, 1998, it performed a powered swing-by of earth at around 1,000 km, the nearest point from the earth, but due to a defective thrust valve, it had insufficient thrust. Fuel consumption was excessive as a consequence of the change in flight course, and it became impossible to insert the explorer into orbit around Mars. Later, the explorer's arrival at Mars was postponed from October 1999 to January 2004. NOZOMI performed the earth swing-by twice more in December 2002 and June 2003 to enter the orbit toward Mars. In April 2003, however, there were insoluble failures in the communication and thermal-control systems. Finally, to prevent NOZOMI from crashing on Mars, the mission team changed the explorer's flight course on the night of December 9.
|NOZOMI provided us with valuable data by conducting a variety of observations such as measurement of hydrogen Lyman-alpha light in interplanetary space.

Most TV viewers probably know The Heavy whether they realize it or not. The British soul men are responsible for one of the more widely licensed advertising jams of this young decade, "How You Like Me Now?"
On their recent LP, "The Glorious Dead," they've cut 10 more tracks from the same cloth — funky party tracks with humongous, shout-through-the-roof choruses updated for 2012 with digital rhythms and spy-movie strings. Call it the Danger Mouse filter, especially since The Heavy sounds like Gnarls Barkley on steroids.
They'll play The Bluestone this Friday for the second leg of a three-night stand with Lucero; tickets are available exclusively through Miller Lite and CD102.5.

I've had fun reading - finally gathered guts to put a post myself. While browsing the net I came across this
A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought, and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and the time in which it is used.
- - - Oliver Wendell Holmes, opinion, Towne v. Eisner, January 7, 1918
The phrase "skin of living thought" stuck in my mind not only because it's poetry, but it helped me while writing (when words weren't coming easy, working more on the thought helped). I wondered whether anyone else has come across interesting descriptions/observations/opinions about words, they liked.

Welcome, from another.
Have you published any of your writings?
You know (and, in contrast to many of my other posts, I
am not trying to be funny here), your question made me
think about trying to describe what words, and language in
general, mean to me. They are so important to me that I
can't find the right words to say how important they are!
The closest thing I can think of is a quote from an
advertisement, that language truly is "the fabric of our

Thanks all, for the welcome. It helped me to put up my feet and feel at home.
Words and language! You're right Jackie - they are important. But I have found there is a flip side to it. Sometimes one has to be wary of words. They are tricky bastards. (whoops, sorry, I haven't read the thread on expletives yet )
If you give words too much importance, they don't treat you well. Run behind looking
for them to express yourself - you get the cold treatment. The more you run - the more they play 'hard to get'. One way to fix them is forget about them and work on the thought instead.
To work on the thought - storm the page! Just write what comes to mind. Forget pretty words, forget fancy ideas - just write and write fast - any thing and everything. You will then get a page full of your thoughts. Then you can play with the thoughts - scan them, skin them, put a skin on them. They are yours to do with what you want. By this stage if you haven't already got the words you want, looking for them is less tough. By now they've been potty trained and lot more controllable.
Sorry! I didn't mean to turn this into a "Avy Writing Classes (pay in advance)". I have been battling over this for long, I wanted to share my experiences. A good book on this is "If you want to write" by Brenda Ueland.

Yeah, welcome from me too Avy. Loved your last post re writing. I do a little editing/proofing of one sort and another for various newsletters, magazines, etc, and the thing I am always telling folk who are in despair facing that frightening blank page (or screen) is exactly that. Write the first thing that comes into your head, disjointed and ill-formed though it may be. Forget composition and niceties of phrasing. Just write something! Put it all down in a great heap and sort it all out later. The concept of putting a "skin" on these jumbled thoughts, turning them into a meaningful expression of your ideas is a nice one. Look forward to hearing more from you.

PS. May I recommend a visit to our serendipitously inventive spell-checker? It's a ripper! It wanted to turn you into AWAD (how about that!), and suggested "rhapsody lute" instead of "Rgds, lusy". I may just adopt that one.

>A word ... is the skin of a living thought<
Dear all,
I think this thread merits to be reactivated. It has the potential to return some much-needed depth to the talk.
The word as the skin of a living thought, among other attractions, brings a sort of synthesis to the long-standing philosophical dilemma of whether a thought can exist without words preexisting. The skin is an integrating part of an organism, growing together with it.

Dear wsieber,
>A word ... is the skin of a living thought<
Skin: not only covering up (hiding?) what's underneath,
but the first and most obvious representation/impression
of the "meat" underneath!
>>The skin is an integrating part of an organism, growing together with it.<< Now, this made me think of infants, and the research that has been done to try to "know" what they are "thinking", if they can be said to think at all,
in the sense that we have of the term. Pre-speech infants
clearly have something going on in their brains!
As soon as their eyes can focus, they stare at the faces of their caregivers. At about three months, they begin to
definitely react to their environment (smile when they see
a caregiver). To me, this says that they are aware that
pleasant things are associated with a person. (A side note:
there is some evidence to show that even very young infants
recognize their mother by her smell.)
Whether these reactions constitute "thought", I don't know.
But, let me pose this question: have you (anyone) ever
daydreamed in pictures? To say nothing of sleep dreams!
Are they thoughts, as well?
Ever since I was a child, I've thought (!) how wonderfully
clear our communications with each other would be if we
could directly transmit our thoughts (on command only!)
in mind-pictures, telepathically!
Are our thoughts and feelings our "real" selves?
If they are, and since as yet we don't have telepathy (sigh!), we are left with words as the primary way to
communicate our "real" selves. (I'm not forgetting art,
music, etc.) Therefore, it behooves us all to take
great care in choosing our words, because this is how we
reveal AND conceal ourselves. Sometimes what we DON'T
say gives more clue to our "real" selves than what we do,
did you ever think about that?
Harking back to a previous thread, I think carefully
choosing our words is particularly important in communicating via electronic screen, since there are no
non-verbal clues at all to give the recipient any hidden
meanings to what you say.

Hi Jackie,
>Skin: not only covering up (hiding?) what's underneath,
but the first and most obvious representation/impression
of the "meat" underneath!<
You got my thought exactly right, from my words - without telepathy! Yes, the first idea of "skin" might be the hiding aspect, but it does not make sense. The skin is necessary to give an understandable (and transmittable) shape to the "meat". It is also there to distinguish inside from outside, "you" from "me". I am a bit skeptical about the "telepathy on command" idea: The "raw data" of your thoughts might interact less favorably and less predictably with my system than the same in "coded form".

Today in history
Best known to his many fans for one of his most memorable screen incarnations–San Francisco Police Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan–the actor and Oscar-winning filmmaker Clint Eastwood is born on this day in 1930, in San Francisco.
With his father, Eastwood wandered the West Coast as a boy during the Depression.
Then, after four years in the Army Special Services, Eastwood went to Hollywood, where he got his start in a string of B-movies.
Here's the rest of the story:
Today — Ugh…isolated showers and thunderstorms in the morning…then scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs in the mid 80s to lower 90s.
Tonight — Better… partly cloudy with a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows in the mid 50s to lower 60s. South winds 10 to 20 mph.

March 13, 2013 —
Oh, my aching feet! If ever I wondered whether I had missed my calling to work in food service, the answer is now crystal clear. A few months ago, I accepted an invitation to represent The River Reporter and take part in the 5th annual Sullivan County Boys and Girls Club Celebrity Dinner (www.bgorange.org [2]) held this past weekend in Callicoon, NY (www.villaroma.com [3]).
The event was an opportunity to raise funds for the organization and to provide those donating an evening of great food served by local celebrities, along with a fantastic show that amuses and entertains. This year's theme, "Music from Your Youth," allowed more than 40 well known Sullivan County residents to strut their stuff in outlandish costumes. Divided into teams, these celebs waited on tables to compete for "bragging rights" as the ultimate Tip Challenge winners, top honors ($5,732) going to first timers, Team Bethel Woods, for their Woodstock Hippies photo booth and regalia.
Truth be told, I was asked to be on a variety of teams. I'm guessing that it was not me but Dharma (the wonder dog) that was desirable as a member, but ultimately I decided to align myself (and her) with Team Italian Stallions, led by Thunder 102's Paul Ciliberto and Michelle Semerano along with Town of Thompson Supervisor Tony Cellini, Sullivan County Partnership's Allan Scott (www.scpartnership.com [4]) and newly appointed Partnership VP Michele Klugman-Resnick as we donned wigs, costumes and makeup to perform as "Legends in Concert." Cellini and Ciliberto's "Blues Brothers" routine was a smash, in addition to the Partnership duo's Ike and Tina Turner and Semerano's Liza Minnelli. I was elected to impersonate Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and did my best to keep up with the rest of the pack, but of course, Dharma stole what little thunder I might have had.
Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther again was in demand, but her team of hippies had some stiff competition from the Bethel Woods "stoners," not to mention the fierce contest and incredible performances from Team KISS, Team ABBA, Team Roscoe (and their bagpipers), The Beatles, the B-52's, Kenny G, and Simon and Garfunkel. Oh, the list goes on. I thought my crew was joking when informing me that we, the "entertainers" would be serving (and busing) the four-course meal, but they were quite serious, and as a result, three days later my dogs are still barkin.'
My admiration for the efforts of all involved and especially the club's executive director, Alexis Eggleton, is unparalleled. "We are actively in pursuit of raising money all year long, one dollar at a time," Eggleton shared. "In a terrible economic climate, we have been forced to reduce our reliance on grant money and have turned to the community, which has gone above and beyond in response, making the Celebrity Dinner the 'event of the year' here in Sullivan County."
The final count (still growing) is over $40,000 dollars, so The Boys and Girls Club will be able to continue to flourish. Tax deductible donations can still be made by visiting the web site or calling 845/342-8833. Dharma raised more than her share of funds auctioning off The River Reporter's "pawtographs," and we're already consulting over next year's plans assuming that we'll all be fully recovered by then.
With great entertainment still on my mind, I managed to heave myself out of bed on Sunday, toss the recuperating dog into her carry-on and swing by our local distillery (www.catskilldistillingcompany.com [5]) to catch lightning-hot, progressive country sensation the Jacob Martin Band (www.jacobmartinband.com [6]) as they swung through town to kick off the Thunder 102 "Startin' to Rumble: Up Close and Personal" series, showcasing up- and-coming country stars of the future. The guys were (IMHO) fantastic and had a tremendous rapport with the audience. I'm fascinated by their story, which front man Martin shared. Seeking to form a band, he advertised on the Internet (www.craigslist.com [7]), finding himself guitarists and a drummer who meshed as a unit and are now touring out of Nashville, performing original songs and covering country hits, while putting their own unique spin on them. Their visit to the original Woodstock Festival site was "inspiring" and their fervent wish is to "perform on the main stage at Bethel Woods in the near future." My guess is that we'll see them fulfill that dream soon. That's entertainment!

Last week on Google Earth Blog we…
- Looked at the best ways to share your favorite locations. There are a variety of great ways to share screenshots and KML files from Google Earth.
- Discovery News showed off a beautiful slideshow of photos from various Google Earth Outreach projects.
- We took a look at the excellent 3D buildings in Plymouth, Michigan, modeled by Luna Tech Designs.
- The Data Appeal visualization tool got some nice updates, making it an even more useful tool.
- The big news of the week was that Google sold their SketchUp product to Trimble. This makes the future of the product somewhat unclear, but it shouldn't affect modelers that use the free version to create 3D models in Google Earth.

text: GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric Acid) is a naturally occurring (non-essential) amino acid found in your brain, where it plays an important role as a calming neurotransmitter within your central nervous system. It helps your body react to stress and tension. Many people also find GABA supplements helpful in promoting sound sleep and general fitness. While this amino acid is found naturally in some green plants, yeasts, and bacteria, dietary sources are not believed to be sufficient enough to have any significant impact on brain levels. Therefore, GABA supplements are often the best solution to support healthy levels.

Jack White is a busy man these days! Not only does he run his own label (Third Man Records), he plays in a slew of bands including the Raconteurs, and formerly the White Stripes, along with taking the production helm for several artists. He is also on an extensive tour this summer including stops at the Hangout Music Festival and Lollapalooza in Chicago.
White's current album, Blunderbuss, was released on April 24th on Third Man Records/Columbia Records and has already sold 137,554 copies domestically, debuting at #1 on the U.S. albums chart. It's also experiences great success by hitting the #1 spot in the UK, Canada, and Switzerland. If that weren't impressive enough, Blunderbuss is in the running for the world record of "the fastest named album in history." This is pending at the moment, but since we are talking about world records, Third Man Records announced that Jack White has again decided to take on the challenge of getting into the Guinness Book of World Records this time for "most metaphors used in a single concert." Jack will continue to attempt this record for the remainder of this summer tour dates. He also asks for fans not to interfere with his attempts during the shows, as it may led to disqualification.
Jack White will be playing Lollapalooza on Sunday August 5th. Sunday passes are still available!

The pearl, the jewels and the attire.
It had to be that either my eyes were playing a trick or I had just witnessed a very clever photoshop technique. Apparently it's neither seeing as Rese from Germany managed to very convincingly recreate the famous Johannes Vermeer painting Girl with a Pearl Earring looking more like the subject than Scarlett Johansson actually. Those particular Dutch master painting hues infiltrated a particular S/S 09 Dior Haute Couture collection by John Galliano and these painterly colours have since been filtering down exemplified most recently by Richard Nicoll's texture rich, dusty coloured collection.
20-year-old girl from Germany
I had to do a double take when I saw Laura from Switzerland's profile. First off, she's a dead ringer for Bat for Lashes front lady Natasha Khan. That can only be a good thing of course to channel a little of Khan's whimsical carefree attitude. Except Laura, whilst bearing some physical resemblance, looks to have a more streamlined style, accentuated by these pared down photos where black dominates and only a glint of embellishment is displayed through the chains on her shoulders. Jewellery designer Bliss Lau is probably responsible for all the ensuing similar designs of body chains that are part jewellery, part attire. Chains of Love has dissected the idea further with a chain that slips off the shoulder in a multitude of ways that reminds me of the shoulders Laura is bearing.

People from Madison area share Boston lockdown experience
Wis. natives in the midst of manhunt for alleged marathon bomber
Natasha Karp was doing her laundry. Around midnight, she headed to her home in Watertown, her clean clothes in hand. When the Madison native arrived home, she heard the unthinkable.
Karp didn't believe it. She couldn't believe it.
She thought it was someone who had one too many setting off an early Fourth of July celebration.
Then, Karp's roommate texted her, telling her to turn on the TV and lock all of the doors.
"I didn't really believe what was happening," Karp said. "I was commenting to a friend earlier that night how Watertown was a really quiet place. Nothing happens here."
Karp barely slept, glued to the coverage, and dozed off throughout the night. She woke up Thursday morning to what seemed like new developments every hour. Fully armed and suited SWAT team officers patrolled her backyard.
Karp peeked out of her front porch to see her neighbor try and pull away. The driver was swarmed.
"They turned their car on, and by the time they moved maybe a foot, they were surrounded by four or five state police asking them to stop, asked for identifications, asked to roll down the back windows," Karp said. "I mean, you can't go anywhere."
Karp snapped a shot of Boston Commons covered in tanks and military tents before she was forced to stay indoors. It's a scene that was anything but normal.
"I feel like the city is still in shock," Karp said.
The lockdown across Boston and a number of the city's suburbs lasted most of Friday, keeping thousands of people inside of their homes.
One of those neighbors was Harvard graduate student Tim McDonald. McDonald moved from Beaver Dam to Boston, to an apartment facing the street the carjacked vehicle sped down Thursday night. That was the explosive chase that took the two Boston Marathon bombing suspects from an MIT homicide scene to Watertown, Mass.
"One of my friends was telling me there's one car, then there were three cars, and then there were ten police cars," McDonald explained. "And that's what took them from MIT to Watertown, which is adjacent to Cambridge, probably four miles total or so.
Between the constant police presence and sounds of security, McDonald said the lockdown scene was tense, to say the least.
"They're having a hard time focusing because you hear sirens constantly. Whenever there's a control detonation, you hear an explosion, and it just has people jittered," McDonald said.
Originally from Montello, Nicole Spillner lives alone in a studio apartment. She admitted fear outweighed faith in many moments. Spillner was particularly scared about the suspect at-large striking again.
"I'm just afraid that they're not going to find this guy before he does something else," Spillner said before the suspect was captured and taken into custody, "and that he's working with other people who have plans to do something else."
Spillner said the city was like a ghost town during the lockdown.
"'I've never seen the city like this since I've been here, I mean, not even since the blizzard last winter," Spillner said.
If nothing else, for some of these "Wisconsinites", it has been a lesson of resilience in a city McDonald said would not quit.
"For me, it gets me thinking about how important it is to be resilient when things like this do happen because the unexpected will happen, and sometimes it will be violent," McDonald said. "And all we can do is respond to it as well as we can. We can prevent it, but when it does happen, everything is in your response and how people pull together and focus no the positives."
"Through this crisis, Boston has really been so strong and has really pulled together," Karp said.
The mandatory lockdown was lifted less than an hour before Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found.

As winter drags on, one way to make the most of it is to try a new sport, like cross-country skiing.
Here are a few pointers on how to get started:
Start on groomed trails: According to the Cross Country Ski Areas Association, the best way to start skiing is by going on a groomed trail. These trails have an even surface with machine-made tracks.
Equipment: Skiers will need skis with bindings, boots and poles. Some locations may have equipment on site that you can rent or buy.
Take a lesson: To properly learn techniques, all beginner skiers should take a lesson before they hit the trails.
What to wear: The Cross Country Ski Areas Association recommends wearing clothing made of synthetic and wool blends. They suggest to avoid wearing cotton material since it holds in moisture.
What to bring: In addition to equipment, you should bring a water bottle, a snack, sun screen, sunglasses and lip balm.

- Abstract
- Objective: To assess the prevalence of overweight, obesity and underweight among Vietnamese adults living in urban areas of Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam. Design: This cross-sectional survey was conducted in the local health stations of 30 randomly selected wards, which represent all 13 urban districts of HCMC, over a period of 2 months from March to April 2004. Subjects: A total of 1488 participants aged 20-60 years completed the interview, physical examination and venous blood collection. Measurements: Anthropometric measurements of body weight, height, waist and hip circumference were taken to construct indicators of adiposity including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and waist-to-height and waist-to-hip ratios. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure and biochemical indicators of cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes risk (lipid profile and fasting blood glucose) were also measured. Results: The age and sex standardized prevalence of overweight and obesity using Asian specific BMI cutoffs of 23.0 and 27.5 kg/m2 was 26.2 and 6.4%, respectively. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was slightly higher in females (33.6%) than males (31.6%), and progressively increased with age. The age and sex-standardized prevalence of underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m2) among Vietnamese adults living in HCMC was 20.4%. The prevalence was slightly higher in males (22.0%) than in females (18.9%), and there was a much higher prevalence in all underweight categories in younger women than in men but this was reversed for older men. Conclusion: The adult population in HCMC Vietnam is in an early 'nutrition transition' with approximately equal prevalence of low and high BMI. The prevalence of overweight and obesity of Vietnamese urban adults was lower than that reported for other east and southeast Asian countries.

A company's name is a major intangible asset--but even a federal trademark may not be enough to protect it. This entrepreneur, owner of a media services business, discovered the difficulty in defending his intellectual property against a competitor with deeper pockets. Although he expected to win his case, the prohibitive cost of going to trial led instead to a settlement.
Obtaining financing to commercialize intellectual property is tricky, because intangible assets may have value independently of the business built upon them. In a dot-com world where knowledge is currency, cost and revenue are no longer adequate measures of value. Inventor David Martin's business is soaring on the wings of software that factors new elements into the equation for putting a price on intellectual property.
To sell more and sell faster, study the bell curve of prospective customers to find out which ones are most likely to be early adopters. If your product improves their performance, they'll influence others to buy.
Taking reasonable steps to protect your trade secrets gives your company a stronger basis for legal action in the event of misuse. Read more to find out what safeguards and remedies are available.
Patents protect inventors and may enrich companies--but the application and registration process may be long and costly. Here are the statutory requirements, plus the basics of an effective patent protection program.
Trademark protection may help a growing company establish, maintain and expand market share. This column, first of a series of three, explains how to meet the criteria for eligible words and symbols when you choose a trademark for your product or company.
Here's how to constitute and file an application to register your trademark. This column, second in a series, also lists the benefits of getting your mark onto either the Principal or the Supplemental Register, or both.
Once your trademark is registered, you'll need an active program to protect its use and ensure compliance. Detailed guidelines, monitoring and taking action against infringers can help.
Balance sheets of many emerging companies show that their intellectual property is their most valuable asset. For that reason, owners and managers must focus their energies and resources on its development and protection.

I have a problem, though. My old internet streamer has stopped and I haven't found a decent replacement, so do I try and search for one tonight? Or do I listen to online radio? Or do I go down the pub and watch on the big screen? Normally, it'd be the pub, but my wife's away so I'd have to drive back home (too far to walk) or get a taxi? Decisions, decisions!
Just remembered, it's Saints tonight , but the problem remains the same - for both games.

Kevin Ward - best player I have ever seen
The real Mick Gledhill is what you see on here, a Bradford fan ........, but deep down knows that Bradford are just not good enough to challenge the likes of Leeds & St Helens.

A couple of slight differences on Wigan's side which could work well - as Deacon looks like he's fit, having him for the full game allows Sam to play 1 and join in when he feels like it, will improve our kicking game and generally bring a steadying influence. If Feca comes in for Tuson then our prop rotation becomes much stronger, and should give us at least parity up front. Leeds of course are missing 2 of their 4 front line props, so are lower in that department. For some reason, we seem more disciplined and effective playing away from home - maybe we simply relish building our victories on defence rather than setting the pace as is expected of the home team.
Finally, the best thing for us maybe for Leeds to score first, so we don't get into our sitting on a lead mode, which seems to be something that we can't do well.

They have pretty much a full side out there, where as Leeds are fast running out of bodies.
Leeds have the home advantage and although Nathan Brown does not believe in such things, I think that was more talk for th motivation of his own team.
Home advantage may make little difference to huddersfield as at their home the crowd do not seam to be able to make enough noise to make an impact in such a large ground. But last night you could see how when the noise lifted the players and got on the huddersfield teams backs. I think the south standers are also capable of being the 18th man for Leeds which may just lift them.
I'm sure when kicking goals, goal kickers would rather hear support or quiet rather than abuse and off putting comments when kicking. The same goes for those players who get wound up emotionally who can play up to the crowd when they get on their backs. I'm sure Fielden will be getting lots of comments reminding him of when he used to be a great from Bradford and when he used to be one of the great props in RL. It may only be said to be off putting, but sometimes comments can hit home.
It's all about da bass

CONTINUING LEGAL EDUCATION IN COLORADO, INC., is the nonprofit corporation organized to serve as the educational arm of the Colorado Bar Association and the Denver Bar Association, and is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. CLECI offers a full range of educational services, including live programs, audio and videotapes, and publications.
CLECI's mission is to educate, improve and continually develop the professional competency and capabilities of all members of the Colorado legal profession and other interested parties, while being financially self-sustaining.
Each year, over one thousand of Colorado lawyers and judges volunteer their time and expertise as speakers, authors, editors and advisors to help CLECI fulfill its mission to serve the needs of the Colorado legal community. Without the dedicated support of the thousands of Colorado lawyers and judges who have generously donated their time and expertise as authors, editors, speakers and advisors over the years, CLECI would be unable to fulfill its mission.
CLECI is financially self-sustaining. Revenues are derived from course tuition, sales of publications, audio and video courses, and web based training. These revenues are, in turn, used for additional course and book development. CLE in Colorado, Inc. is committed to provide educational opportunities in all fields of law, rather than focus exclusively on the profitable topics. Profit-generating projects sustain projects that cannot be self-supporting. CLECI's goal is to meet expenses for overall operations while implementing as many cost-saving measures as possible, consistent with maintaining program quality.
The DBA, CBA, their sections and committees, co-sponsor many of their programs with CLECI.
The body that oversees the process of accrediting continuing legal education programs for CLE credit, and keeping track of CLE credit for all licensed Colorado attorneys, is the Supreme Court Board of Continuing Legal and Judicial Education. The Supreme Court Board is located at 600 17th Street, Suite #520-S, Denver, Colorado 80202, telephone (303) 866-6500.
LIVE PROGRAMS: CLECI presents approximately 100 live programs each year. Many of the programs are planned and cosponsored by the various substantive sections and committees of the Colorado and Denver Bar Association. The length of the live program varies, from one-half day programs to multi-day annual symposia/institutes.
VIDEO REPLAYS: Most of the live programs are recorded for replay at locations around the state. Video replay registrations include a copy of the course manual.
AUDIO RECORDINGS: Most of the live programs presented are also available for sale on audio CD's along with the course manual. Attorneys may claim CLE credit for listening to the audio CD's under the homestudy provision of CRCP 260.
COURSE MANUALS: Course manuals from live programs are available for purchase after the live program.
Web-Based Training: CLEci is now offering on-line web-casting of some live programs. Internet based information delivery continues to be a priority for CLECI to serve the members of the association. Developments in web delivery improve continuously.
PUBLICATIONS: CLECI publishes a series of deskbooks and handbooks in different practice areas for Colorado practitioners. Topical areas include litigation, ethics, estate planning, real property, business law, domestic relations, criminal, and employment. Publications are kept current by supplements, as needed. CLE in Colorado also publishes the Annual Survey of Colorado Law, a reference work that includes all major developments -- case law, legislation and administrative developments -- in 30 areas of the law.
PRO BONO TRAINING: The CLECI Board of Directors has committed to furnish affordable training for attorneys who volunteer to provide Pro Bono services. Registrants may attend these courses for a nominal charge, if they undertake at least one pro bono case in the area that is the subject of the program. Recent programs have been offered in family law, immigration, disability law and elder law.

Gay marriage: Britain, France in surprise contrast
LONDON The French like to make fun of the British, joking about their repressed ways in matters of the heart. But when it came time to debate same-sex marriage, it was France that betrayed a deep conservative streak in sometimes violent protests while the British showed themselves to be modern and tolerant.
With little fanfare or controversy, Britain announced Wednesday that Queen Elizabeth II hardly a social radical had signed into law a bill legalizing same-sex marriages in England and Wales. France has also legalized gay marriages, but only after a series of gigantic protests attracting families from the traditional heartland that revealed a deeply split society.
Official word that the queen had approved the bill drew cheers in the usually sedate House of Commons.
This is a historic moment that will resonate in many peoples lives, Equalities Minister Maria Miller said in a statement. I am proud that we have made it happen and I look forward to the first same sex wedding by next summer.
There were British political figures and religious leaders vehemently opposed to gay marriage but the opposition never reached a fever pitch, in part because the same-sex marriage bill had broad public support and the backing of the leaders of the three major political parties. In fact, it was Prime Minister David Cameron, leader of the tradition-minded Conservatives, who proposed the legislation in the first place.
The picture was completely different in France. Few people had expected legalizing gay marriage to face much of a hurdle. French polls had shown for more than a decade that the concept enjoyed majority public support, and Paris has had a gay mayor for years.MORE IN Wire NewsMADISON, Wis.

New exhibit at the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance
October 4, 2012 —
NARROWSBURG, NY — "The Continuing Line," an exhibit of paintings and works on paper by Elise Freda, opens with a reception on Friday, October 5 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Delaware Arts Center's Alliance Gallery at 37 Main St. The exhibit will be on view through October 27.
Admission is free. Call 845/ 252-7576 or visit www.ArtsAllianceSite.org.
"My paintings and drawings have long been both abstract and based in nature. They begin with observation. I find my shapes, colors, spaces, textures and line in the trees, plants, fields, mountains and skies that surround my studio in Callicoon's rolling Beechwoods," explains painter Elise Freda.
The title of this exhibit, "The Continuing Line," evolved from Freda's recognition that line has been a constant in her work since 1980. "The line starts as part of the underpainting, weaves through the building of layers, and ends up on the surface of my paintings and works on paper."
Freda's paintings explore a world of contrast: light/dark, warm/cool, surface/depth, and organic/geometric. Her work is process oriented, and she finds her image during the process of making it. "All of the changes, additions and subtractions become part of the finished work," she explains. "I enjoy the mystery of abstraction, the unknown eventually evolving in to the known."
Freda came to the Upper Delaware River Valley from New Jersey in 1965 when her parents, Fred and Helga Andkjar, both artists, bought a farmhouse with land and a barn for a studio in Callicoon. "It was a good place to grow up as the outdoors played a major role, and the Delaware River was a perfect playground," she recalls. She and her husband Joe returned to the river valley in 1993 when Elise became Gallery Director for the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance. Her work has been exhibited extensively in group and solo shows throughout New York State, Pennsylvania, and across the United States; her work has been reviewed in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe and The Brooklyn Rail.
Since 2005 she has divided her time between painting and selling real estate. "I have become adroit at quickly changing hats, and it has forced me to become productive in the studio in shorter periods of time," she says.
"Free and open to the public, the exhibit is sponsored by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, the Arts Council for Sullivan County, NY, and is made possible in part by a grant from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

Apple, a leading developer of portable digital media player and the maker of Macintosh computers, on Monday unveiled the second version of its iPhone handset, which combines functionality of cell phone with Internet browsing and multimedia. The new iPhone 3G got lower price, faster Internet transfer rates and global positioning system. But more importantly, the iPhone 3G will be available in much more countries than the first-gen iPhone.
The new Apple iPhone 3G comes in a slightly different enclosure compared to the original iPhone – it is now made of plastic and is slightly thicker – but sports the same 3.5" touch-screen with 480x320 resolution, includes support for quad-band GSM, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 EDR wireless technologies. The iPhone 3G also features a 2 megapixel (2MP) camera, audio and video playback capabilities as well as assisted GPS function. Depending on the model, the iPhone 3G comes with 8GB or 16GB of memory.
In general, there are very few difference between the first-generation Apple iPhone and the second-generation Apple iPhone 3G when it comes to technology. However, with faster data transfer rates the new models may be acquired by those, who did not want to use the previous model because of this issue.
However, Apple iPhone 3G has many software-based features that are available in previous-gen iPhone only in certain cases. iPhone 3G includes the new iPhone 2.0 software with both the iPhone SDK and key enterprise features such as support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync to provide over-the-air push email, contact and calendar syncing as well as remote wipe and Cisco IPsec VPN for encrypted access to corporate networks. iPhone 3G includes the new App Store, providing iPhone users with native applications in a variety of categories including games, business, news, sports, health, reference and travel.
"Just one year after launching the iPhone, we're launching the new iPhone 3G that is twice as fast at half the price. iPhone 3G supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync right out of the box, runs the incredible third party apps created with the iPhone SDK, and will be available in more than 70 countries around the world this year," said Steve Jobs chief executive of Apple.
iPhone 3G will be available in the USA on July 11 for a suggested retail price of $199 for the 8GB model and $299 for the 16GB model in both Apple and AT&T's retail stores and requires a new two year contract with AT&T for qualifying customers.
iPhone 3G will be available in more than 70 countries later this year, beginning with customer availability in 22 countries – Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the U.S. – on July 11.

Branstad leading trade trip to China in April
Gov. Terry Branstad says he'll lead several governors on a trade trip China later this month.
Branstad says Monday that the mission will help continue Iowa's trade relationship with China. He will be joined on the trip by three Republican governors, from Virginia, Wisconsin and Guam, and 46 people representing Iowa businesses and other organizations.
The group departs April 12 and returns April 18. Branstad says they will visit Beijing and three other cities.
Branstad says they will meet with government officials and business leaders in China. A meeting with China's new President Xi Jinping is not confirmed.
Branstad's ties to Xi date back to a 1985 diplomatic trip that Xi took to Iowa, during Branstad's first stint as governor. Branstad last visited China in May 2012.

My Dad is still raving!
By Cheri in Ohio
from Coshocton, Ohio
I purchased this shirt for my Dad, while visiting him in Florida, and had it shipped to him. He had been searching for a shirt like this, but was disappointed that the ones he found were either too heavy to wear in Florida winters, way too pricey or not genuine leather. I was alarmed several days later when I got a call from him, because he NEVER initiates a phone call unless something is wrong. It turned out that he had just received his shirt and was ecstatic! I've not seen this shirt in person, but after his 20 minute raving phone review I feel confident in stating "it's awesome!" I didn't mark "washes well", only because he hasn't washed it yet. I'm pretty sure I'll get another call from him on that day & will let you know. I'm not worried :-)Thank you so much!

Find Your Passion: Internalizing Teamwork Concept
By Sarah Caroline Willcox
At The University of Alabama, leaders are everywhere—in the classroom, in extracurricular activity, in campus organizations and among faculty. But the ultimate goal of leadership on campus is becoming a leader in the community and, for some, the nation. Travis Tarbox, a senior majoring in criminal justice, is working toward that ultimate goal as an Army ROTC cadet ranked third in the country, according to the National Order of Merit List for the 2009-2010 academic year.
The summer after his junior year at UA, Tarbox, 21, submitted his Cadet Performance Score to the U.S. Army Cadet Command along with more than 4,700 undergraduate cadets from across the country. The score is calculated based on academic, military and physical performance, in all of which, Tarbox excelled. More aptly, the score is a number value assigned to the cadet's passion, drive and determination throughout their performance on campus, as observed by his or her peers and instructors.
In October 2009, Tarbox was recognized for his high ranking and, as a true team player, Tarbox credits his achievements on the OML and in the UA ROTC program to his superiors and to those working beside him in his battalion.
According to Lt. Col. Jim Shaver, professor of military science and department chair for the military science department, "It is extremely important to be a team player as a cadet and future officer. [Teamwork] is essential to our success, and Travis has internalized that concept already."
In the fall of 2009, Tarbox served as the cadet battalion commander. The highest position a cadet can hold in the battalion, Tarbox was selected to lead his peers by Shaver. Similarly to the OML, the battalion commander position is chosen based on a cadet's performance in academics, physical fitness and performance. Shaver says all of the senior cadets hold cadet officer positions in the battalion, as all of them are encouraged to be scholars, athletes and leaders.
"We have a great ROTC program here at UA, and Travis is one of many outstanding young men and women in the Crimson Tide Battalion," Shaver says.
Tarbox, a native of Birmingham, is at the University on a four-year ROTC scholarship. He says it has been an ambition of his since middle school to serve his country through the United States Army, and he knew enrollment in the UA ROTC program was the first step in accomplishing his goal.
Generally, cadets can take the first two years of ROTC classes without committing to the U.S. Army. Once they begin their third year or the advanced course, they must sign a contract with the Army. Upon graduation and completion of their courses, they become commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army.
"I always think there is a way I can do better," Tarbox says of his motivation to continue with the ROTC program through his four years at UA. "If I achieve good results the first time I do something, I force myself to do better the second time around."
In addition to its obvious esteem, ranking third on the OML has its perks. The top 10 percent of cadets on the list are given their first choice of the Army branch where they will serve; Tarbox chose aviation. He says he is interested specifically in helicopters, and, upon graduation, he will reside in Fort Rucker, Ala., for up to a year and a half of aviation school. Once more, Tarbox credits his interest in aviation to the UA ROTC program for giving him a chance to branch into Army aviation; without his determination in the ROTC program, he may not have had the opportunity to advance immediately to pilot training.
"There are many branches in the U.S. Army, so, through ROTC, cadets can work toward branching into an area that suits his or her interests," Tarbox says. "I'm not really sure what sparked my interest in flying. From an early age, I have always had the urge [to fly]."
The UA ROTC Program was established in 1860, and, since its installment, has produced more than 7,500 U.S. officers, 42 general officers and six governors of Alabama. Each year more than 160 students take Army ROTC classes, and about one third of these students are on scholarship. In addition to experiencing military organizational culture, roles of the armed forces, leadership management, and leader communication skills, students develop individual leadership and credentials that will benefit them in their life after UA.
Tarbox says he is slated to begin active duty on Oct. 3 as a commissioned officer.
"I would be lying if I said I was not apprehensive about the changes that will occur in my life once I commission," Tarbox says. "But the changes will be for the better and represent four years of hard work, so I'm not too worried about them."

Margaret (Peggy) AbelsDirector, Office of Health Science Programs, UNK
The Board of Regents is pleased to present a KUDOS award to Margaret (Peggy) Abels, Director of the Office of Health Science Programs at the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
The Health Science Programs at UNK provide students with academic advising, career counseling, assistance with applications and the interview process, a formal shadowing and volunteer program, and the sponsorship of the UNK Health Science Club.
Peggy has served as Director of the Health Science Programs for 12 years now. And under her leadership, the program has experienced impressive growth. In 1996, for example, the office served about 300 students. Today more than 500 students are pursuing pre-professional programs.
Peggy's responsibilities are many and vast: She manages 19 different pre-professional health-related career programs, ranging from allied health professions like radiologic technology and respiratory therapy – to pre-pharmacy, pre-optometry, and pre-med. In the past several years Peggy has worked with UNMC to develop three new cooperative scholarship programs: NU PATHS, the Health Science Scholars Program, and the Kearney Health Opportunities Program.
Dr. Francis Harrold, Dean of UNK's College of Natural and Social Sciences says: "Peggy has been tireless and very successful in promoting the growth and strength of our Health Sciences Programs."
Peggy is joined today by her mother, Jackie Bartak and her daughter, Megan.
We are honored to present this KUDOS Award to Peggy Abels for her exceptional service to the University of Nebraska at Kearney, for her outstanding commitment to her profession and for the exceptional service she provides to the entire campus community.
