County Board to hear report on going paperless
BROWN COUNTY – Commissioners will review a report from Information Technology Director Rich Meyer identifying costs for the county board to go paperless at its Tuesday meeting.
First-year costs are estimated at $10,710 and $600 in successive years.
Costs include $7,150 for seven laptops. Seven power outlets would need to be installed. Other expenses include a ceiling-mounted projector and cabling, projector screen, document display and cabling and two wi-fi devices.
Software costs are $940 for Microsoft Office for each laptop and Adobe Standard for digitizing materials to PDF and creating PDF bookmarks, $320.
The board will also set a public hearing for Brown County Burn Ordinance revisions. The suggested date is 10:15 a.m., Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at the county board meeting.
After reviewing current county burn regulations with the sheriff's office, Brown County Fire Chief's Association and Brown County Planning Commission, planning and zoning staff were encouraged to change the burn ordinance so that brush pile permits would no longer be required. Those wishing to burn would still need to inform Brown County Dispatch of the burn ate and burn location prior to burning brush. Residents would need a New Ulm DNR Forestry Office permit to burn anything other than a brush pile.
The board will also review and approve park caretaker contracts for Treml, Mound Creek and Lost Dog and Fox Hunters County Parks. David Helget at Treml Park and Jeff Hoffmann at Lost Dog and Fox Hunters Park seek a $100 annual contract increase to $4,330 and $4,900 respectively. Gary Schenk at Mound Creek Park seeks a 2 percent 2013 increase, from $10,375 to $10,588.
The county board meeting begins at 9 a.m., Tuesday, Feb. 19, at the courthouse.

Just wanted to check in and show you guys this little bit different direction of work. This piece is actually earthenware (think terracotta flower pot), but fired very hot, just about as hot as it could possibly go without bloating, warping and such. I became interested in the idea after seeing the seemingly wide range of firing temp of yixing/zisha clays. This kyusu is really vitrified, the lid almost was fused after firing from the clay fluxing. This is the only one I fired as a test, but now that I know the result I'm going to fire the rest ( I have another dozen or so which should be done in a week or two) Anyhoo, I hope your all having a great teaday!

How Big is the Human Footprint on Earth?
The report reveals humanity's Ecological Footprint has more than doubled since 1966. In 2007, the most recent year for which data are available, humanity used the equivalent of 1.5 planets to support its activities.
Even with modest UN projections for population growth, consumption and climate change, by 2030 humanity will need the capacity of two Earths to absorb carbon dioxide waste and keep up with natural resource consumption. The figures released in the report illustrate the scope of the challenges humanity faces not only for preserving biodiversity, but also for halting climate change and meeting human development aspirations, such as reducing worldwide hunger and poverty.
Yet change is possible. This edition of the report presents scenarios based on actions that could change the curve, as well as the outlook if we remain on our current course.
See how the Ecological Footprint of various countries compares.

Forever in Student Debt?
By Mia Taylor
SAN DIEGO (MainStreet)--Massive student loan debt is having a profound impact on twenty- and thirty-somethings, including delaying the ability among both generations to build any wealth and causing anxiety among borrowers of all income levels about whether the loans can be repaid.
"Concern about the ability to repay student debt is pervasive, and this early debt can have rippling effects over a life course, " says Signe-Mary McKernan, one of two authors of a new report from the Urban Institute called "Forever in Your Debt: Who has Student Loan Debt, and Who's Worried?"
"This is a tipping point moment," McKernan says. "People under 40 may end up so far behind, that it may be impossible to catch up."
In 1989, student loans were a relatively small component of the debt held by 29- to 37-year-olds. But by 2010, student loans were second only to mortgage debt, according to the new report.
The report also notes that one in five adults age 20 and older have student loan debt, and more than half of them worry they may be unable to repay their obligations.
Outstanding student loan balances in the United States total roughly $1 trillion. On average, recent college graduates owe about $27,000, the report states.
And the profile of the typical debt holder is anything but typical. It's a varied group that includes young and old, white and non-white, men and women, low-income and high-income, according to the report.
The drastic change in student debt levels between 1989 and 2010 can be attributed to several factors, McKernan says.
"Tuition is increasing over this time period, and more people are going to school and getting higher degrees," McKernan explains. "The other thing is, those going to school are taking on a greater amount of debt."
Another large part of the problem is people not finishing their degrees, McKernan says.
"People take student loans to get a bachelor's degree and then don't complete that degree," she says. "They don't earn the credential. And that number goes up for African Americans and Hispanics. The degree is going to pay off, on average, if you can complete it."
Meanwhile, income level appears to provide little relief from enormous school debt and the associated anxiety being felt by Generation X and Generation Y.

Nut Butter and Fruit Preserve Roll-up
Approximately $.50 per roll-up
Probably the number-one, no-frills endurance fuel for the backcountry, a PB&J can take on many forms. Because the innards tend to ooze from between two bread slices, we found the roll-up method works better for mess prevention.
For each sandwich we used two generous tablespoons of all-natural peanut butter, or about half a pouch of Pocket Fuel, and fruit preserves. We stuffed the whole roll-up in plastic wrap and took big bites throughout our run.
Nut butters offer satiating fat for long hours on your feet while jams offer quick energy. If you're concerned about sugar, stick to the fruit-juice sweetened varieties. We like Spoonful of Fruit, Fruit Classiques, because they are made with more fruit than most jams and green tea is added for additional antioxidants. If you are gluten intolerant, try Food For Life Brown Rice Tortillas.

"When we watch you, you make us proud to be Egyptian." A working-class television chef has become a celebrity by building national pride with affordable regional recipes that applaud the new post-revolutionary Egyptian cultural identity.
Is there such a thing as the Muslim world? Is the "veil" a sign of submission or courage? Is our Western concern about women in Islam really a concern for the well-being of women? Our guest, Egyptian-American Leila Ahmed, challenges current thought on these and other questions.

The Digital Skeptic: Airbnb Pumped Full of Investor Hot Air
This article is commentary by an independent contributor, separate from TheStreet's regular news coverage.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- If you're dying for the insider perspective on billion-dollar social room-swapping service Airbnb -- yes, friends, the hipsters really do call it "airbeeandbee," as if a bed-and-breakfast were falling out of a plane -- you might want to sit down for a chat with Marty Bauer.
Bauer is no high-profile insider with ties to Paul Graham's Y Combinator , the next-gen biz incubator in Mountain View, Calif., that spawned Airbnb. His name will not be found in last week's SEC filing that confirmed the service raised more than $117 million. And the 27-year-old is definitely not among the A-list investors such as Ashton Kutcher and Peter Thiel swirling up a monstrous $2.5 billion valuation for the company.
But Bauer is willing to share something far more important: the reality of running a social market similar to Airbnb.
Bauer is the founder of itty-bitty RidePost, a four-person Greenville, S.C.-based online app that's doing for car rides what Airbnb does for lodging.
"We are trying to create a new form of public transportation," Bauer explains to me over the phone. "There are 2.3 billion road trips each year. And 80% of them have empty seats."
When I tested the service (honestly as part of finding some way to move around after Hurricane Sandy closed local gas stations) I found the process of matching those with spare space in their cars and those looking for rides to be reasonable. RidePost does a good job of managing the relationship, finding a fair price for the fare and taking a cut of every ride.
The more I spoke with this bright, earnest entrepreneur, the more I realized that despite the hype behind Airbnb, the service faces a long flight before it reaches the investor stratosphere.
"It is a challenging market, for sure," he tells me flatly.
No direct flight to riches
Bauer's critical insight into Airbnb is this: Sure, matching those who have spare rooms with those who have spare change is sexy as all get-out. But the business boils down to the intricate process of managing trust between strangers. Bauer, like Airbnb, is betting the reputation-building technologies at the heart of social media can be adapted to make folks feel safe. He can't succeed unless users are sure when they climb into a RidePost booked ride that they're not climbing in beside a psycho.
"We are trying to provide low-cost rides, but without the sketchiness factor," he said.
And for such social bartering markets, small turns out to be a beautiful thing.
Bauer is conscious to target his operation to those under 35, who are comfortable in social media, making it easy to provide a sense of service and safety. The idea is not his. He recalls hearing how Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook (FB) , said he bet his social media service on the .edu email domain early on, limiting the service mainly to those in college or at least in academia.

Darwinists maintain that Darwin was a scientist and evolution is a science. This position has for long been kept on the agenda by Darwinist circles. There is no doubt that the reason for this is that Darwin was not a scientist and evolution is not a science.
The fraud that Darwin was a scientist:
Darwinists avoid science
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar"s live interview on Dem TV, October 30th, 2009
The false idea that evolution is a science:
The theory of evolution has been constantly refuted by science for the last 150 years. It represents the diametric opposite of the facts revealed by science.
Science has revealed the extraordinary complexity in the cell and that evolutionists are unable to account for the formation of even a single protein.
Science has made it possible for more than 300 million fossils to be unearthed and examined, and has demolished evolution by showing that not a single one is a transitional form.
Science has proved that living things never evolved by showing that all fossils belong to complete and perfect life forms.
Science has totally refuted the idea of chance by showing the complex systems in living things and the irreducible complexity within those systems.
Indeed, if science corroborated Darwinism, Darwinists would have no need to behave so aggressively, angrily and deceptively. The sole reason why Darwinists strive to silence opponents of evolution and act according to the instructions of the Darwinist dictatorship is that they have no scientific evidence whatsoever.
The only reason why Darwinists insist on portraying evolution as science is that they have discovered that they can only survive through trickery, fraud and lies.
Darwinism is a false and pagan religion that has deceived people for the last 150 years and should long since have been consigned to the history books.
But they are trying to prop it up for ideological reasons, for the sake of denying the existence of Allah. The sole reason why it is still in existence and persistently kept on the agenda is that it is protected in an organized manner by certain sinister forces.
Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar"s live interview on Dem TV, October 30th, 2009
The false idea that evolution is a science:
The way that all of Europe has become acquainted with Atlas of Creation and the declaration of the fact that living creatures have remained unchanged for millions of years and that evolution is devoid of any scientific worth have led to a major change of belief among the people of Europe. Independent polls conducted by well-known publishing institutions in different European countries have revealed a major drop in the numbers of people believing in Darwinism and that belief in Allah now dominates Europe. >>
In order to create, God has no need to design
It's important that the word "design" be properly understood. That God has created a flawless design does not mean that He first made a plan and then followed it. God, the Lord of the Earth and the heavens, needs no "designs" in order to create. God is exalted above all such deficiencies. His planning and creation take place at the same instant.
Whenever God wills a thing to come about, it is enough for Him just to say, "Be!"
As verses of the Qur'an tell us:
His command when He desires a thing is just to say to it, "Be!" and it is. (Qur'an, 36: 82)
[God is] the Originator of the heavens and Earth.
When He decides on something, He just says to it, "Be!" and it is. (Qur'an, 2: 117)

Secret of the Wiild Child (DVD 401.9 S): In the fall of 1970, social workers took custody of a 13-year-old child who had spent much of her life chained to a potty chair in her bedroom. She could not speak, walk, or respond to other people. She was called "Genie." Her case attracted psychologists who were interested in finding out whether she could still learn to speak. At the time, some linguists, led by MIT's Noam Chomsky, believed that human speech is a genetically programmed ability. Eric Lenneberg, a neuropsychologist, agreed with Chomsky and added further that if a person did not learn to speak by adolescence, then the natural ability to learn language might be lost forever. This theory was the so-called "critical period hypothesis."
Although Genie's situation was one that scientists would never create intentionally to test their theories, her unfortunate circumstances made her a prime candidate for experimentation. Genie was past puberty. If she could still learn language, it would cast doubt on the critical period hypothesis. Ultimately, Genie's caretakers were criticized for combining their research with her treatment.

Warrior 2
Extended Angle
This course is a perfect companion for inflexible people.
Wine and Confused (DVD 641.22 J): Monty Python alums have made good second careers hosting documentary programs, such as Terry Jones's Crusades. Now John Cleese turns his attention to the subject of wine in Wine for the Confused, originally broadcast as a special on Food Network. "Don't let anyone ever try to tell you what wine you like, because people have different tastes and we shall honor that," he heralds at the start. The point of the program is clear and simple: to help you find and describe wines you like; to show how to buy wines at a good value; and to provide tips on how to get the most enjoyment from the wines you do buy. With this attitude, his considerable charm, and his gentle wit, Cleese is the perfect host for this material, and right off the bat he strikes just the right tone--instructive, but light-hearted. The result is delightful.
The Art of Knitting (DVD 746.432 A): Leisure Arts recommends that whether you're a beginner or advanced knitter, the best designers and instructors in America will show you how to knit with simple, understandable demonstrations that you can play over and over again. It will inspire you!

Learning with Leisure Arts is now easier and more convenient than ever!
The Tower (DVD 942.1 T): One of Britain's most majestic and recognizable symbols, the Tower of London has stood on the banks of the River Thames for over 900 years. A fortress, royal palace, state prison and treasure house, it has been the setting for magnificent opulence and the darkest of deeds. It is here that Kings were murdered, Queens put to the axe, spies and traitors executed, and innocents killed to suit ruthless ambitions. Featuring dramatic reenactments, expert interviews and computer-generated recreations, this eight-part series explores the Tower's storied past, going behind the scenes to witness private ceremonies and uncover forgotten secrets.

About Seidenberg
Welcome to the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems
Introduction and Outlook
The Seidenberg School mission is to prepare men and women for professional work, research, and lifelong participation in a new and dynamic information age. We are committed to providing an education based in reality in order to prepare you for your future!
Located in the financial capital of the world, you will find no limits to your education here as we offer a wide variety of courses and exposure to internships and work with leading corporations, banks, federal agencies, and global entities. Degrees and certificates are conveniently available to you at our NYC and Westchester County campuses as well as online and in special programs.
Our program offers a student-oriented environment, small classes, excellent teaching, advanced research, and innovative programs, projects, and partnerships. You will work closely with distinguished professors and established lecturers to ensure you master the latest technologies. With undergraduate and graduate programs spanning the computing disciplines, the School attracts a global and culturally diverse cross section of students. We firmly stand by equal opportunity for all.
We believe that information technologies are the tools for the empowerment of modern peoples. Stay ahead of the technology curve.
Career Outlook
Despite economic turbulence, computing and IT professionals fare comparatively well when it comes to gaining and retaining employment. Organizations have come to view their IT employees as core assets and rely on them to implement and maintain the technologies that keep them competitive. The future looks bright for those preparing to enter the field as well as for those who continue to update their skills. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), job growth through 2018 will be above average in all computing fields requiring a college degree. And as "Careers in Technology", published by www.dice.com, points out, young IT professionals "can take advantage of countless points of entry and all sorts of interesting paths for career advancement as the world continues to become more digital, more mobile and more Internet-dependent."
Over the years, Seidenberg School graduates have taken their expertise to such diverse industries as financial services, computer manufacturing and application development, telecommunications, consumer products, health care and pharmaceuticals, entertainment and communications, governmental agencies, and nonprofit organizations.
Teaching philosophy and program offerings
Pace University's Seidenberg School is one of the nation's few schools dedicated to college students' computer literacy. For over two decades, the School's basic course, "Introduction to Computing," has been part of the required Pace undergraduate Core Curriculum. Recently, additional courses satisfying general education requirements have been added that combine class work with service internships at nonprofit organizations. Also offered for general studies are courses taught in interdisciplinary learning communities webbing together such riveting topics as "Computers and the Environment."
The School's approach reflects Pace University's emphasis on balancing classroom instruction with practical experience. Many Seidenberg students gain practical, pre-professional experience through internships obtained through Pace's outstanding internship and Career Services office. As a result, undergraduates become knowledgeable and self-confident professionals before they enter the workforce full time.
At the graduate level, the Seidenberg School offers six master's level programs ranging from Information Systems to Software Design and Engineering to meet the varied needs of working and aspiring professionals. The School is credited with developing an innovative doctoral program, the Doctor of Professional Studies (DPS) in Computing designed for working IT and education professionals who already hold a master's degree. It transforms the traditional doctoral experience by making it possible to complete the program in three years of part-time study, enhanced by online interaction combined with monthly weekend study on campus. The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Computer Science is another distinguished degree offered by the School.
The School is partnered with many industries developing and offering programs like the National Coalition for Telecommunications Education and Learning (NACTEL). This collaborative program gives employees of companies like Verizon, Qwest, AT&T, and Frontier Communications, as well as members of major telecommunications unions, the chance to obtain a college-level degree in telecommunications, networking, video, and mobile technologies online, from anywhere in the country. The Seidenberg School offers courses to obtain degrees and advanced certificates in Software Development and Engineering or in Security and Information Assurance, the latter through courses on-site at the Bank of New York Mellon.
Additionally, opportunities exist for students who want to study, or initiate their studies, from abroad. Students in India are now able to take courses online along with counterparts in the USA and graduate students can begin their studies in China and complete them at the University's New York City Campus.
Research in the Seidenberg School is geared towards transforming significant sectors of the society through the design, development, implementation, testing, and deployment of practical computing applications. Paul Benjamin, PhD, heads a robotics lab that develops intelligent agents to perform operations that are considered to be dangerous to humans. He and others, including Li-Chiou Chen, PhD; Chienting Lin, PhD; and Dr Bel Raggad, PhD, work on security and intrusion detection as part of the School's designation as one of a select group of institutions to be named as a National Center of Excellence in Information Assurance. Sung-Hyuk Cha, PhD, and Charles Tappert, PhD, direct the Pervasive Computing Lab, studying and applying human-computer interaction and machine learning techniques to a wide variety of wearable and handheld devices.
Students at all levels have the opportunity to pursue research independently or with faculty and often present their works and findings at professional conferences. The School encourages critical and creative thought process and is host to an annual Student-Faculty Research Day.

MJR GIS Services is a sole proprietorship owned and operated by Mick Robinson in Orangeville. The company mission is to provide fast and reliable technical assistance and GIS data to government entities, private businesses, and private individuals. The business is run out of Robinson's home to keep overhead costs down.
The Price SBDC helped Robinson purchase needed software, a plotter, a computer with enough processing capability to run GIS programs and other equipment. Speaking of the SBDC, Robinson said, "The SBDC counselors were great to work with. They really helped me learn some basic business skills to help me get my business started. I am really good at the technical aspect of my business, but without the help of the SBDC, I would not have considered everything that goes into running a successful business from marketing to the importance of cash management."
Robinson is a graduate of ITT Technical Institute. He earned an associate of applied science computer-aided drafting technology degree. Robinson currently works for the Emery County GIS Department. Robinson was inundated with requests for additional services not provided by the county. He formed his own business and has demand for his business from all over the state of Utah. Without help from the SBDC, Robinson would not have started his business.

This past weekend, I had the privilege to attend and present a paper at the 2013 Kuyper Center for Public Theology conference at Princeton Seminary. The conference was on the subject of "Church and Academy" and focused not only on the relationship between the institutions of the Church and the university, but also on questions such as whether theology still has a place in the academy and what place that might be. The discussion raised a number of important questions that I would like to reflect on briefly here.
In the first place, I was impressed by Dr. Gordon Graham's lecture on the idea of the Christian scholar. He began by exploring a distinction made by Abraham Kuyper in his work Wisdom & Wonder. Kuyper writes (in 1905),

NMU hockey: Vigier, Maschmeyer lead Wildcats to victory over Michigan Tech in WCHA opener
MARQUETTE – The Northern Michigan University hockey program excepted junior forward Stephan Vigier to score goals this season and so far, he's produced.
What the Wildcats didn't expect was the offensive boost its received from freshman forward Brock Maschmeyer.
That's because the rookie out of Alberta was supposed to be stopping goals as a defenseman, not scoring them.
"He's doing what he's supposed to, that's for sure," Vigier said. "He's in the right spot at the right time and he's taking advantage of his opportunities."
The Wildcats picked up two first-period goals on Friday from Vigier and Maschmeyer, then hung on for 40 minutes to tally a 2-0 victory over Upper Peninsula arch rival Michigan Tech in front of a sellout crowd of 4,260 fans at the Berry Events Center in Marquette.
It was the Wildcats (1-0-0 in WCHA, 2-3-0 overall) first WCHA game and victory in 15 years. Now the Wildcats will go for their first WCHA sweep since leaving the league in 1997 at 7:07 p.m. tonight in the Huskies' (0-1-0, 0-4-1) home opener at the John MacInnes Student Ice Arena in Houghton.
"The building was phenomenal," NMU head coach Walt Kyle said. "It's great to see when the building is like that.
"I think these Tech games are really special. To have that kind of energy and that environment here is special. Our guys can feel it and I think our guys fed off it."
Vigier sniped his fourth goal and fifth point of the season in five games past Tech sophomore goaltender Pheonix Copley 4:55 into the game to give the Wildcats a 1-0 lead over the Huskies.
Vigier, who was left alone just a few feet in front of Copley for the quick shot, credited his linemates – junior Reed Seckel and senior Erik Higby – for his latest score, whoever it was that made the precise pass.
"I don't even know who made the pass, Seckel or Higby, but it was a great play," Vigier said. "We have some good chemistry now and we have to keep it going for sure."
Maschmeyer scored on the power play at 16:08 of the first period to give NMU a 2-0 lead over the Huskies. With assists from Higby and senior defenseman Luke Eibler, he rang a wrister off the right goal post and in past Copley for his second goal of the season.
Maschmeyer said he has experience as a forward having last played the position at the Junior A level in Canada, so the transition hasn't been a major challenge, as evidence by his two power play goals now in back-to-back games.
"The boys have been helping me out a lot and it just made the transition that much easier," Maschmeyer said. "It's not too bad, just getting to know the systems again and getting to know where you need to be on the ice for the forward position."
Maschmeyer was a healthy scratch in the Wildcats opener at Wisconsin on Oct. 11, then played as a seventh defenseman the following night.
He debuted at forward a week from Friday in the 2-1 loss to Nebraska-Omaha and recorded that first collegiate goal the following night in a 6-3.
Kyle said they decided to use Maschmeyer as a center instead of as an extra defenseman because it gave the freshman the most possible ice time.
"We want him in our lineup because I think he has a huge value on the power play," Kyle said.
"I think he's been outstanding in his adjustment to forward. I think he's been really, really efficient on the power play for us – really efficient."
The Huskies only generated 24 shots on goal against NMU redshirt freshman goaltender Mathias Dahlstrom, who earned his first collegiate win and shutout in his third career start Friday.
For Kyle, the start was a better representation of Dahlstrom's performance early in the year.
"He has been outstanding," Kyle said. "I thought he was really, really solid tonight and it wasn't that hard of a game for him. What I mean by that is, there were hard moments, but it wasn't like he was peppered. He wasn't peppered with high-end chances, and then they'd get a couple great chances.
"Those are the hardest games for goaltenders to play in. He responded really, really well."
While scoring chances came at a premium for Tech, penalties did not for the second game in row to the tune of 10 call for 42 minutes.
Two of the 10 calls were five minute majors and 10-minute game misconducts for checking from behind in the third period – one going to freshman center Mike Neville and the other to freshman defenseman Chris Leibinger.
That all came less than a week removed from a Sunday loss at Notre Dame where Tech was awarded 18 penalties for 85 minutes, including three majors and three game misconducts and two additional misconducts.
"We just couldn't get behind and play from behind like we did tonight," Tech coach Mel Pearson said.
"Northern got those three power plays right at the end of the first period and it took us out of the game. They had seven or 10 goals on the power play and we talked about it coming in. I can't tell you they were blatant penalties, but they were calls and they have a good power play."
Copley finished with 30 saves for Tech, but fell to 0-3-0 in his third start of the year. In the three losses, Tech's scored three goals and posted an average of 21.3 shots per night.
Tech only has seven goals this season in five games, with sophomore Alex Petan's goal Sunday at Notre Dame being the only goal for the Huskies top line, which also includes juniors Blake Pietila and Tanner Kero.
"It's a combination of a lot of things," Pearson said about the scoring woes. 'Some of it is trying too hard, squeezing your stick too tight. Some of it is not working hard enough. Some of it is not working together. Obviously we need to find the right combination."
Pearson said the home ice tonight in Houghton will hopefully provide a boost for his offense, which he isn't planning to shake up just yet.
"You can't over react and we've been on the road from Day 1," Pearson said. "We have to get some confidence at home. We have to give our guys a chance to play at home and see what they do there.
"It's going to be nice to be home."

Via Technologies, a well known chip designer, has announced the industry's first 4-port USB 3.0 controller. The device is aimed at mainboards, notebooks and other devices for which SuperSpeed USB support is a benefit.
"SuperSpeed USB not only makes transferring HD video files, high pixel count digital photos, and backing up hard drives quick and easy, but Via's new hub controller allows consumers to get the most out of the technology by expanding the capacity of PC systems," said Richard Brown, vice president of marketing at Via Technologies.
Via Technologies' VL810 chip supports up to 5Gb/s transfer rate (625MB/s) of SuperSpeed universal serial bus and is also backwards compatible with previous-generation USB standards. Along with power management features that include the ability for devices to communicate latency tolerance to the host and for links to enter progressively lower power states when link partners are idle, the Via VL810 is made using advanced 80nm CMOS technology, further lowering the chip's power usage.
Via did not indicate whether the VL810 is intended for PCI Express 2.0 x1 or x4 interconnection. In the latter case all four USB 3.0 ports will have to rely on 500MB/s interconnection between USB 3.0 hub and PC itself, but in the former case about 2GB/s of bandwidth will be available for demanding SuperSpeed USB clients.
Previously the only USB 3.0 hub controller available was 2-port solution from NEC.

Toward the Rising Sun
Shaun Martin keeps running tradition alive in the Navajo Nation
Photo by Chris Hunter
The Arizona wind swirls dust around us and the trail-side bushes quiver with sleepy snakes just waking up for spring. Trailing our Navajo guide and friend, Shaun Martin, Jeremy Duncan, Chris Hunter and I descend a steep, sandy singletrack into Canyon de Chelly, part of the Canyon de Chelly National Monument just outside of Chinle.
Shaun stands six feet tall, with the wiry-strong build of an endurance runner. His steps appear effortless. Hardly missing stride, he kicks small rocks out of his path and occasionally retraces his steps to cover snake tracks with one even swoosh of his right foot; leaving snake tracks untouched is a bad omen in Navajo culture. Shaun stops occasionally, gazing into the canyon's depths as though seeing the towering rock walls for the first time. He explains the history of this ancient path, of the Navajo people who fled down these same trails 146 years ago when the United States Army raided their homes and forced them on The Long Walk. He points to the canyon's cliffs and caves, places Navajos hid to escape the attack.
"The army tried to drive them out," says Shaun. "But many outsmarted them. They hunted at night. They moved quietly."
Shaun's shaggy hair is held back with a worn-out Harley Davidson bandana—the same one he was wearing when I first met him two years ago. He has run in it for eight years, the original vibrant orange faded to dull brown. He is handsome, with olive skin and square features. At 29, his face reveals the shallow lines around his eyes and mouth of someone who has spent his life on these trails, trails few outside the Navajo tribe have ever seen and will likely never run. No one is allowed in this canyon without a guide, and we are fortunate that Shaun has agreed to share these trails, sacred to the Navajo people.
Shaun runs these and other unmarked trails around his home in Chinle nearly every day as preparation for one of the trail ultramarathons he enters—and likely wins—each year. But his passion and commitment to running goes beyond competing in trail races, beyond the numerous state titles the high-school cross-country team he coaches has won in the past few years. It goes beyond a successful Division I college running career. It goes deep into Navajo culture, into ancient tradition. For Navajos, running is a teacher, a form of prayer and a celebration of life.
In an age where indigenous cultures are diminishing into a homogeneous mix of modern society, Shaun works tirelessly to keep Navajo running traditions alive. He is the program director for Wings of America, a Native American youth-development program that uses running to help better the lives of American Indian and Alaskan Native youth.
"Everything I have in this world, I got from running," says Shaun. "By coaching Chinle kids to be distance runners, I am can help them realize their dreams, their potential, give them opportunities they may have never had."
Chinle High School Principle Doug Claschee says, "We have 1200 kids in this school and I sometimes see a lack of respect for our culture, but Shaun not only coaches his team, he transforms them into exceptional people," he says. "Shaun is a role model and that has brought our school together."
Here on the rez, life is hard. Evidence of poverty and hardship is everywhere. Driving though Chinle, we pass starving stray dogs, livestock dead on the side of the road, homes that are little more than four crumbling walls with a wind-tattered tarp for a roof. Few teens have a chance for success, inhibited by gangs, suicide, drug abuse, teen pregnancy and high unemployment rates.
Even eating healthy meals here is a challenge and many Navajo youth are obese. "Everything on the rez is pre-packaged and processed," says Shaun. After being trucked around the state, produce on the grocery store shelves is usually rotting within a couple of days. "We drive two to three hours every other week to Flagstaff just so we can buy healthy food."
With few paved streets—aside from the main artery of Interstate 191, which slices through Navajo Nation—most running here is off road along historic Navajo trails. In fact, even during track season, says Shaun, "We do most of our runs on the trails. We hardly ever step foot on the track, because traditionally, we didn't run around an oval."
Each morning, Navajos run east toward the rising sun, a tradition passed down from the oldest generations, says Shaun. Running at dawn represents new birth. Though few Navajos still have permanent homes in them, traditionally, families lived in a "female hogan," a circular living structure made of wood and packed mud, (male hogans are built with a vestibule and used only for ceremonies), and the door, which always faces east, was left open during the morning run to bless their home for the new day.
Spirits and deities are out in the morning, celebrating the birth of a new day, and so to be out running at this time, says Shaun, "shows Mother Earth and Father Sky what kind of a person you are, that shows you are working to be a stronger person, so when you reach times of struggle, they will be there to help you."
Beyond prayer, running is a teacher. "It teaches you to endure, to deal with pain and struggle," he says. "It is a celebration of life and a healing process." In fact, running is central to both female and male coming-of-age ceremonies. The Puberty Ceremony (girls) and the Voice Changing Ceremony (boys) involve running farther each day of the ceremony as a way to grow and develop as a young adult.
"I think about these teachings a lot when I'm running," says Shaun. "And I have taught my high school team you don't run to win a race—you run to improve yourself."
Using these building blocks, Shaun has created one of the most successful high-school distance-running programs in the country. He started coaching the boys' team in 2004 and the girls' in 2006. He took a group of young men, who could hardly run three miles—let alone race that distance—and, in 2010, turned them into state champions. Even outside of their high school's division, the Chinle High School boys' cross-country team was ranked higher than any other school in the state. The girls were runners up for the state title in their division.
Says Rolanda Jumbo, 17, a junior who, this year, has been ranked fourth in the country in the mile and second in the two-mile says, "Shaun is my hero. He not only made me a good athlete; he made me a better individual. Running is my most precious possession and Shaun made me believe anything is possible."
In 2010, Shaun was named the National Federation of High School Sports Cross Country Western Coach of the Year. But to Shaun, the award itself held little meaning compared to the joy he experienced watching his team succeed and grow.
Word of his accomplishment trickled down through his current and past team members, who planned a surprise banquet in his honor at the high school cafeteria. "Every one of them got up on stage, and explained how running had affected their lives and made them better people," says Shaun, who comes to tears recounting the event. "To me, state titles and state champions are great, but the kids' appreciation of a deeper significance meant much more."
Shaun, Jeremy, Chris and I retrace our steps out of the canyon, ascending some 1400 vertical feet in little more than a mile, to stand on the rim. Shaun appears relaxed, reflective. Then he lets out a cry, he says, to let the spirit people know he is active and striving for a balanced life. His voice echoes through the rocky corridor, as though giving the landscape thanks.
After the run, we sit in Shaun's living room with his family, spooning mouthfuls of mutton stew and fry-bread, a Navajo staple. Shaun's dad, Allen Martin, recounts stories of his own school-boy "ultras"—when he and his friends would run away from boarding school just so they could be outside. "Navajos strive to be one with nature, with the heavens, the ground, the plants and living creatures, to respect them," he says. "Back in school, I wanted to be out in that environment and was pulled by the natural forces. So we ran."
Once, he and his friends ran 100 miles in three days, mostly at night, from just east of Flagstaff, Arizona, to his grandparents' homestead in The Gap. He digs deep into those memories, a distant look settling in across his face as he remembers the desert landscape they traversed, the empty hogans where they found day-time shelter and rest before running through the next night.
We all laugh about his runs, how he was running ultras when Western States was still a horse race. And then Shaun's face grows serious. "I want to run that route someday, Dad," he says. "I want to follow in your footsteps." His father nods proudly.
"When I think of the milestones in our lives, they have always involved running," says Melissa, Shaun's wife and mother of their two young children. "When Shaun comes back from a race or run, he's always a better person, a better father. He does all his problem solving out there."
Shaun cannot remember when he and his brothers started running traditionally— each morning toward the rising sun—but says they must have been close to his son Maverick's age of two and a half. In elementary school Shaun was introduced to competitive running by his coach Mark Lomeland, who mentored Martin all the way through high school. It was Lomeland who inspired Shaun to become a coach.
After high school, Shaun attended Northern Arizona University on a full running scholarship. But Division I athletics felt different. "In college, everything was based on winning or losing. There was no other objective but to become faster," he says. "We [my team] got good at that. But when college was over, I was burned out."
Then, after almost a year of little running, Shaun remembers heading out the door and just running, and running and running. "I didn't have a watch," he says. "I didn't have any idea how far out I was. I must have run at least 15 miles one way. I came back three and a half hours later feeling great. I realized that I just had to fall in love with running again." Shaun started running farther each day and fell into ultrarunning by default.
In fall of 2008, his brother Theo, a 2000 Olympic Marathon Trails Qualifier with a 2:16, accompanied him on a 40-mile traverse of the Paria River Canyon, a stunning slot canyon on the Arizona-Utah border. While Theo hit the wall at mile 30, Shaun remembers settling into a steady stride. "By the time we finished, Theo was wrapped up in a blanket, puking, and I just wanted to run more."
Trail ultramarathons opened up a whole new world of possibilities. "I didn't want to train," he says. "I just wanted to run. I still just want to run, so I started doing these 20- or 30-mile trail runs to explore the canyons around here. I decided I should test myself and entered the Red Mountain 50K." Shaun not only ran the 2008 inaugural race in Ivins, Utah, he crushed the field, finishing 10 minutes ahead of second place and setting a blistering course record of 3:20, a record no one has come close to.
The next morning, at dawn, Shaun drives us a few miles outside of town for a morning run, with expansive views of the Chinle valley. En route, he plays traditional Navajo prayer songs on his iPod. "This is what I listen to before my morning runs," he says. The songs are peaceful, rhythmic, symmetric, even drones of prayer, each repeated four times—once to the north, the south, the east and the west. It almost sounds like steps, a beat and prayer you could run to. Shaun pulls off the highway and slows the truck to a crawl. He cranes out the window searching for the trail, a snaking slice of singletrack that winds up onto a rocky ridge and dips into a sage flat on the other side.
We begin our ascent, Shaun effortlessly gliding up the steep embankment as I falter and slip on the sandy earth. Every now and then we lose the trail, but he traverses the field easily and we pick it up again. His steps are small, precise, his body leaning slightly forward. We stop and gaze into the valley, as Shaun points out landmarks. "Like the sacred Navajo symbol of a circle, a person must be whole, balanced," he says. "There is a positive and a negative to everything. When negative events happen, you have to find the positive in them so you can keep moving forward. A lot of people focus on the physical side of running. After that, they focus on the mental. But Navajos, we focus on the spiritual." We turn toward the valley and stride along in silence.

A new Brooksville shop sells secondhand medical goods.
By BETH N. GRAY
Published May 8, 2007
BROOKSVILLE - Grandma has passed on. What to do with her walker, her power chair, her hospital bed?
Buddy's broken foot mended quickly. What to do with his barely used crutches?
The answers are at Medical Thrift & Consignment, 689 S Broad St., opened recently by Vanessa Guy. The 39-year-old is a former medical assistant in a physician's office and has worked in a retail store selling durable medical equipment.
"Other stores have new goods but there's still a need, because not everybody could afford it, " she said. Thus, she sought to provide an outlet for no-longer-needed equipment to benefit both consigners and those in need.
"I'm not here to compete; I'm here to help, " Guy said.
And help she has. A man came into her shop and inquired about a power chair for his 48-year-old wife who had lost mobility after a stroke. She had been trying for four months to obtain a mobile vehicle through her doctor's office. Her HMO insisted she forward the copayment of 20 percent before it would approve the claim.
Guy filled out paperwork for Medicare, and in the meantime, offered the woman a power chair on loan.
"The woman cried" as she wheeled out the door, Guy said. She had a new power chair in four days, thanks to Guy's knowledge of the system and perseverance.
The "project, " as she calls it, she's now working on is getting a power chair for a widow without family, in her early 70s, who has been moving around her home for at least seven years on a wheeled desk chair.
"Her legs are all bandaged from falls, " Guy said. Living on Social Security, she cannot afford even a few dollars a week for needed mobility.
Guy is pursuing financial aid through Universal Health Care's Community Diversion Program, which works with the Florida Department of Elder Affairs in Hernando County, the Comprehensive Assessment Review and Evaluation Services.
In addition to providing information on Medicare and Medicaid, Guy helps customers file insurance claims.
Another mission is helping a brain-damaged 28-year-old woman at a local nursing home. To her, Guy is donating a specialized chair, priced new at $4, 000, with head restraint, elevated leg rest and which fully reclines. "With the use of that chair, (her mother) hopefully will be able to bring her daughter home, at least on weekends."
Of course, no store can survive by only doing good deeds. Medical Thrift & Consignment sells a mix of new and used items. "Sometimes people get it too late, " she says of never-used consigned items.
Outright donations of equipment have come from Forest Oaks Care Center, Heron Pointe and Jericho Road Ministries. "The community has really taken on to the context (of the business), " Guy said.
The shop stocks lift chairs, potty chairs, shower benches, hand rails for bathtubs and toilets and shower bars. Walkers with sit-down accommodation, at $139, are a hot item, Guy says. Models with more options range to $199.
There are hospital beds, car lifts to attach to the back of vehicles, a lightweight push chair that folds flat for $170, new and used manual wheel chairs from $50 to $250.
"Consigners price (the items) themselves, " Guy said. "I guide them to realistic figures." She prices other items according to condition, and she looks at catalogs for new equipment costs, which she says she reduces at least 50 percent.
Guy adds, "Nothing comes in the front door." It is delivered to the back door of a scrub room. "I go through a rigorous type of regimen: cleaning, sanitizing, deodorizing."
Kathy Jones, acting executive director of United Way of Hernando County, is glad to see the opening of the durable medical equipment shop.
"We get a lot of calls, " she said, "people wanting to donate equipment." Now United Way has a place to steer them and residents have an opportunity to buy on a shoestring.

The Next ChapterPosted by Billi-Jean under Uncategorized

"Why is Mama on da swings?! Mama! Get off dere! Swings are for KIDS!"
When I was an 'appropriate' age for the swings, I always imagined that my life would be spent largely in other places. I wanted to have coffee in Paris. Walk alone in the rain in the green fields of Ireland. Work in Africa. Nap in the afternoon in Greece. Buy groceries in Frankfurt. I wanted to go places, not on vacation, but to live and work. But time passed and my life has not much resembled the life I intended to have.
Time is a funny thing.
Occasionally, Time means everything, other times, it means nothing at all. It ever moves forward – be it steadily, lurching or crawling - but sometimes, there are moments when you leap backward through Time and are transported to another time in your life, as if jumping from one lily pad to another in a pond. When I lean back on a swing, pumping my legs so that I swing higher and higher trying to touch the blue sky with my toes, I easily leap from lily pad to lily pad. And while the blog has stood frozen in time for twenty months, my bountiful life has carried on.
In my time away, we have all continued to learn and grow, my children have grown and become more wonderful and inspiring with every day and I have been sick again, had surgery again and have been doing my best impersonation of a Phoenix, again. Though much of my recent journey was very difficult and I was often frightened, in pain and frustrated, I was emotionally well-sustained by the lessons I'd learnt from the creation of My Bountiful Life.
I began this blog years ago when I was so sick that I confided to my doctor that I was afraid I was dying and she told me that she couldn't tell me that I wasn't. My health was not improving, but something had to change. I began first by working to increase my own awareness of all the Good Things in my life – the big and the small. I looked for, and found, joy in the most mundane things. And then I began to record them here. This time, I knew that I was not dying, but the months of misery took their toll. I remembered though, that I had already discovered that it is the smallest things that hold the greatest joy, and the practice I'd already had of seeing and grabbing onto that has carried me through.
I left the blog because it was a time of severely pared-down priorities, but I never intended to leave it forever. It gives me too much. A few months ago, I began the process of switching to a new (wind powered!) server, and finding someone to clean up the software issues, kill the spam and deal with the fact that my site had been hacked. So, while nothing has changed here in almost two years, everything has changed. It's all shiny and new.
It is time. Time to shake off the ashes. Time to pick up the scattered pages and write the next chapter.
Today, we bought four one-way tickets to India.

Stuck between two extremes when it comes to choosing your wedding day makeup? This year's bridal beauty trends have something to offer for all kinds of ladies, no matter what side of the aisle you may find yourself on.
Celebrity makeup artist Ricky Wilson told Access Hollywood Live the scoop on glamorous and natural-looking bridal makeup. His top recommendation for both looks? Flawless skin, so that the less makeup you have to apply, the better.
Wilson points to Zoe Saldana for a perfect example of classy sophistication, which features "sexy, sculpted eyes," lots of eyeliner and mascara and bright lip colors.
Blake Lively exemplifies dewy, natural gorgeousness, on the other hand, where "the ultimate goal is to look like you woke up looking this gorgeous," Wilson told the news source. To pull this one off, you'll need bronzer, a soft lip color and naturally glowing skin.
No matter how you choose to look on your big day, full gorgeous lashes will seal the deal. Use blinc Mascara for a long-lasting, flawless finish.

Portable Sawmill & Lathe Machine
A Portable Sawmill Opens Up Woodworking Possibilities
As a serious woodworker, you likely have a wood shop full of numerous woodworking tools. Of course, you have all the basics, from bandsaws to lathes. While this equipment may be enough for the most common project you take on, it's likely that you are ready for some bigger, more advanced woodworking tasks. You may be considering adding a portable sawmill to your collection of tools. This will likely be your largest woodworking purchase, so understanding the different choices and which is best for you is extremely important. You want to be able to get the job done right without breaking the bank.
Buying a portable sawmill is an investment. While it can be hard to justify having one as a hobbyist, it can definitely pay for itself. In fact, many advanced hobbyist are able to build their own homes from wood off their own land with the help of this versatile tool. Buying your model used or refurbished will cut a significant portion off the top of your purchase price, making it one of the best options for people who don't plan to use it for business purposes. Determine the scope of your project and then make a reasonable budget before beginning to look for a sawmill. Depending on what you select, you may expect to pay as much as $4-5,000. However, if you are using this to build a barn, large outbuilding or home, this can quickly be worked into the budget.
There are several different choices when it comes to buying a portable sawmill. First, you can actually purchase a chainsaw mill. These hook up to a single chainsaw and can usually be operated by one person quite easily. They are also much more affordable than other models. In fact, it's quite common for hobbyist to build this portable sawmill themselves. You can also find models that work in conjunction with a bandsaw. Of course, completely freestanding models are made by companies such as Cutting Edge, Frick, Lucus and Meadows. These are the most expensive options but often the easiest to use. Most require no electricity, but rather run on a gas powered engine. They can be attached to a trailer and moved between different lumber sources easily.
While you can do most woodworking projects with the basic shop tools, having a portable sawmill can definitely open up more options for you. If you don't have a large budget, go with a chainsaw mill. For larger projects that require more precise cuts, consider purchasing a freestanding mill. Looking at used models can save you money. Either way, make sure that you understand what you need before making your final choice in order to ensure that you can complete your projects as planned.
Choosing The Perfect Wood Lathes For Your Woodshop
Whether you are a beginning woodworker or have been at this gig for quite some time, it's likely that you understand the importance of wood lathes. These are the best tools for turning any detailed piece of woodworking. They are commonly used to create legs for furniture. However, they are also easily adjusted to complete mini projects like wooden bowls or yo-yos. In the shop, a lathe is truly a multipurpose tool that you will not want to be without.
Different lathes have different capabilities, so knowing what you plan on using the machine for is important before you make your purchase. Cheaper machines, of course, have less features and flexibility. However, buying the most advanced models may not be the best choice for your needs either. Understand your needs and check the reviews on each model before determining the best fit. When making your final selection, pay attention to the specifications, including the bed length, swing, horsepower and RPM. Whether or not the wood lathes you consider have variable speed can also make a difference in the successful completion of your projects. Finally, don't forget to include the chucks, chisels and gouges in your initial purchase so you can get working right away.
It seems like there are dozens of companies that are in the business of making and selling wood lathes. Some common options include Craftsman, Delta, Jet, Oliver, Glaser, Grizzly, Rikon, Stabilax, Supenova, Powermatic, Ohio Forge and Tranpower. Unless you read reviews that suggest a particular brand or model is sub-par, your main concern when shopping will be price and features. You also may prefer a particular brand if you already have woodworking tools made by the same company. This can make learning the particular operation of your lathe much easier as the setup is often configured similarly with different machines in the same product line.
Working with your hands can be very fulfilling. Taking a simple block of wood and creating something truly useful and beautiful has a lot of appeal. Having the proper tools can make your hobby even more fulfilling. Wood lathes are one of the funnest woodworking tools in your shop, so take the time to make sure that you purchase the right one for your needs. One more option to consider is using your router as a lathe. It sounds odd, but there are articles online on how to do it. It's probably not for the beginner.
