Balance sheets outweigh 'agenda'
Editor, OBSERVER:
The teacher who wonders what he is going to tell his students after they announced the closing of some facilities in our area evidently could not find the answer that suited him so we have to assume he knows somewhat and imagines the rest! I can also assume he does not teach business subjects or any course that pertains to the use of balance sheets.
To the misguided students, under his tutorage, I suggest they enroll in a business class where you can learn the basic theory behind the balance sheet where the instructor does not harbor a political agenda! The teacher might also be surprised to learn what is on the liability section of the sheet!

Short Edgy Pixie
There is no wrong way to rock a short pixie if you have the guts to go short and sport it with confidence, more power to you because it takes a lot for a women to hit the salon and shed off some length. This avant garde haircut looks absolutely stunning and so futuristic. The way the stylist cut the bangs extremely short leaving the sides longer and even more length towards the back really gives this haircut such a cool urban and semi anime vibe which we see quite often in Japanese cultures.

Please Note: Baits and Jigheads not included. Paddle bait behind rigs head also not included.
Allen Borden and ABT have done it again. Former Strike King Lure designer and creator of the King Shad has taken umbrella rig fishing to a whole new level. Unlike any other, the ABT Lures Multi-Rig System "The Ultimate Umbrella Rig" gives you the unique ability to modify, adjust and create a multitude of configurations to fit any fishing condition.
Each ABT Multi-Rig features a patented screw lock swimming head with removable wire harness that allows you to easily change your wire configurations from as few as two up to a maximum six. You can also change wire lengths from 3.5-6.5 inches (with the ABT Lures Multi-Rig Accessory Kit) and add weight to the hollow Polycarbonate head to adjust for deeper presentations. In addition, 6 different head colors are available all featuring a barbed bait keeper making it super easy to attach and match your favorite swimbait tail to create a more realistic and truly complete bait-ball profile.
Each ABT Multi-Rig comes standard with four 5.5 and one 6.5 inch** high-strength .47 stainless wires pre-set in an adjustable configuration providing worry-free performance while throwing larger/heavier baits and battling larger gamefish. Various weighted teaser & wire replacement accessory packs are also available, making the ABT Lures Multi-Rig System clearly superior to any other umbrella rig system on the market.

Customer Reviews
Comments: horrible quality head mine started to crack and shatter right out of the box the clay head breaks to easy.
From: Cole: Lafayette, CA
Comments: The concept seemed really cool, so I decided to pick two up, despite the reviews about cracked heads. And sure enough... Right out of the tackle warehouse package... One of the heads is completely cracked on both sides. I would super glue it, but that would defeat the purpose of the removable head. They do seem cool, and this company is on the right track, but this product is not ready to hit the market. The plastic head is just not durable enough. Back to the drawing board ABT.
From: Jack: Milford, CT, USA
Comments: Interesting concept but a total fail. I received one with the head cracked right from the package. This is all that holds the wires on the rig. A thin plastic shell. The bait holder on the back of the head is giant and requires some bait surgery to work. Kind of like putting a swimbait on an anchor. A screw would be more practical. I made the mistake of buying 4 of these. Will never purchase from ABT again. Staying with the Swarmbrellas.
From: DF: SoCal
Comments: If you put the wire holder head in backwards the head will not screw down...turn the head around!! it will be loose and won't work right-of course! -the sharp end has to be down!!! It is very strong, tight, and I've caught stripers to 25 pounds on it as a guide. I change all the wires out and put in unique configurations using their accessories-nothing like it anywhere. I can make this rig do anything-all in one thats bulletproof. Completely versatile, all quality, and able to be changed out-using just one rig. one trick umbrella rigs don't let you change wires or completely adapt rig on the fly-as I do all the time . If you think there's a better rig out there -you haven't done your homework or understand the ABT multirig! Future of umbrella's
From: George: Madera
Comments: Kinda disappointed with this rig. The concept is great but the wires move around more than I like. It seems to be made from quality components, but the wires on mine move alot. May just be a defective one, but in my opinion there are a couple better rigs out there.
From: Will: AL
Comments: Dan from Ontario, you're an idiot, it comes like that so anglers can bend it the way they want to. This one is the best in the market IMO.
Comments: I bought the ghost rootbeer brown model and the wires werent bent at all. The 3rd image showing the head with the wires bent at the hook is not how mine is. The wires on the one I received look like the wires in the accessory pack, completely straight. If you tell me they're gonnna be prebent, at least bend them!
From: Dan: Ontario, CND
Comments: If you want the best umbrella rig ever made, the ABT Multi-Rig is a one-stop-shop. You can remove the lead head, remove the wires to stay legal and even rig up a swimbait tail on the lead-head. No other umbrella rig comes close to this quality. Thanks ABT and Tackle Warehouse!
From: Daniel: Spokane, WA
Comments: Took a flyer on this as it was on sale, and then part of the Bass Master sale, so I got it for a song. I live in MN where these, with 5 hooks, would be illegal. I bought this to customize it down to 1 hook with a couple dummy swimbaits and spinner blades. I still have to confirm with the DNR that such a setup would be legal. But the components all appear to be high quality.
From: Austin: St. Paul, MN
Comments: I bought this lure from Tackle Warehouse 2 weeks ago. I went out pre-fishing for a tournament and did great. I did not get any double hook ups but when they hit it was on! Special thanks to basshookups.com where I get all my fishing information. The only place I trust which lead me straight to tackle warehouse.
From: Jim: Sacramento

Skip to comments.Billy Graham takes full-page ad in Ohio newspaper to back Romney
Posted on 10/22/2012 11:40:29 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- In the heart of one of the nations most contested states, newspaper readers awoke Sunday to a full-page plea from Americas most famous evangelist to vote for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Sort of.
The full-page ad in the Columbus Dispatch featured a black-and-white photo of the Rev. Billy Graham, with a brief text burned into the dark background in white letters over Grahams signature.
On Nov. 6, the day before my 94th birthday, read Grahams message, our nation will hold one of the most critical elections in my lifetime. We are at a crossroads and there are profound moral issues at stake. I strongly urge you to vote for candidates who support the biblical definition of marriage between a man and a woman, protect the sanctity of life and defend our religious freedoms. The Bible speaks clearly on these crucial issues. Please join me in praying for America, that we will turn out hearts back toward God.
It was as close to an endorsement of Romney as Graham could get without explicitly saying so.
In May, President Obama declared his support for gay marriage rights, and he has always supported abortion rights. In January, he was accused of trampling on religious freedom when his administration got into a tangle with religious organizations over whether they should be forced to offer health insurance plans to employees that cover contraception and abortion.
Romney opposes gay marriage. Although he was in favor of abortion rights earlier in his political career, has renounced that position and opposes abortion in almost all cases.
This is not the first such ad that Graham has purchased in recent days.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimes.com ...
Actually, it's just as important, if not MORE important, to bolster this support at the local level. That's were the rubber meets the road.
Actually I am severely underwhelmed! We have the two most pro-life candidates since Ronald Reagan vs the most pro-abortion president in history. It is however overwhelming to me that anyone with even a smidge of common sense would have any difficulty deciding which team to support.
As nice as it is that you share your emotions and feelings in every post, Mitt Romney is the most pro-abortion republican candidate in history, so radical that it is unimaginable that a man so dedicated to abortion could have become the party's nominee.
Already since winning the nomination, the pro-abortion Mitt Romney has rejected the republican pro-life platform
Were you aware that he had reverted to his pro-abortion position?
You need to read the posts sent to you. Romney DID reject the party's pro-life platform, and he HAS returned to his pro-abortion position, "health" means abortion on demand.
To: fireman15
How is quoting Romney a lie?
August 27, 2012 CBS interview.
PELLEY: Well, the platform as written at this convention for the Republicans does not allow for exceptions on abortion with regard to the health of the mother or rape or incest. Is that where you are?
ROMNEY: No. My position has been clear throughout this campaign. Im in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest, and the health and life of the mother.

Art prints & frames, handmade in England since 1982
Elizabeth Parsons was born in 1953 in Gloucestershire and educated at Cheltenham. After she left school - "trained for nothing", as she puts succinctly - she knew that the only thing she wanted to do was paint. For 10 years she supported herself in a variety of ways including working with horses and gardening. In 1980 she set off for Italy, determined to meet Pietro Annigoni and devote herself fully to painting. "I had always loved painting but at school all that I wanted to draw was horses, and this was not encouraged".
Having arrived in Florence, Elizabeth Parsons called on Annigoni, who kindly agreed to see her but told her that, although he felt she was talented, he was too old to teach her. Instead he sent her to the famous tutor, Nerina Simi. She then spent six years at the Signorina's studio, being thoroughly grounded in the art of sketching and composition. Simi taught her to see the depth and variety of colours in a white wall and shadow; tonal values became incredibly important, especially when she was made to draw for weeks on end with a fragile point of charcoal.
Elizabeth Parsons now has many pupils of her own and finds that the most important part of her teaching is grounding those pupils in the basic skills.
On her return to England in 1986, Elizabeth Parsons sold her work privately and held a number of exhibitions in Knightsbridge, in Cork Street. Her work was also accepted for the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy. She has sold works to private collections all over England, America, France and Canada.
Following marriage and the arrival of a son, her painting time is at a premium. Accompanying her husband on his frequent fishing trips to Southern Ireland gives her ample scope for painting the faded grandeur of Ireland's country houses as well as on plein-air. "The sky moves so quickly there and the light is wonderful."

Time is of the essence when you are trying to find your lost pet, especially if your pet is not wearing a Broward County Rabies Registration Tag or is without a tattoo or microchip containing identification information. We are required to hold lost pets with identification for five days (not including holidays and when the shelter is closed) and animals without identification for three days, in the hopes that they can be reunited with their owners and avoid euthanasia.
Pet owners are responsible for making every effort to find their pet. You should:
We always attempt to call a pet's owner if their pet comes into the shelter and has identification (Broward County Rabies Registration Tag, tattoo, microchip or ID tag).

Top 5 Holiday Shopping Apps
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Hey shoppers! It's your favorite time of year. Sales are EVERYWHERE. From enticing window displays to unbeatable deals, everything is inviting you to buy. It's easy to get carried away. But, hey, at least you're helping the economy.
If you're tempted to open your wallet, you're not alone. U.S. holiday spending is expected to increase 4.5% this year, according to recent research from FTI Consulting , which notes that consumer confidence is approximately 25% higher entering the 2012 holiday season than it was a year ago.
It just keeps getting easier. The shopping game forever changed with the advent of the Internet. Hello, impulse buys! And now there are mobile apps to help you find great items while you're on the go. Did you expect retailers to make it difficult for you?
With so many spending options, making purchases can get complicated. How are you going to decide which shoes to buy? Don't worry, though - The Street is here to help you. These five mobile apps will help you find the best items, while saving money and time. And downloading these apps won't cost you a dime. They're all free!
Trying to find the lowest price for your choice item could have you seeing red. But don't fret. eBay's(EBAY) RedLaser will help you. Know exactly what you want? Use the app to scan barcodes. It will tell you where to find the cheapest price.
I tried scanning my Beanie Baby. Those still exist, by the way. It looks like you can get Floppity the Bunny for 99 cents these days. (At 16 years old, I guess she's not a baby anymore). Even if you don't have the barcode handy, RedLaser can help you find what to buy. Using the voice-activated search function, I still found Floppity!
Possibly the best feature of this app is that it stores your loyalty cards. Scan it so you don't have to bring that CVS(CVS) card everywhere. Don't let that precious wallet space go to waste.
RedLaser is a badly kept secret. As of October, it had been downloaded 22 million times!
The free app is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, but requires iOS 5.0 or later. It's also available on Google's(GOOG) Android operating system as well.
Decide Shopping & Price Predictor
Even if you find the best deal today, tomorrow might be the better time to buy. Decide will help you make that decision. Should I buy an Apple(AAPL) iPad Mini? Decide's Shopping & Price Predictor app tells me to wait! Alongside its price graph, the app tells me with 94% confidence that the price will drop within two weeks. (If only it could give me stock advice).

Open and honest discussions about kidney transplantation recommended for people undergoing haemodialysis
- Public Health Primary Care and Food Policy, City University London, UK
- Correspondence to: Nicola Thomas
Public Health Primary Care and Food Policy, City University London, 20 Bartholomew Close, London EC1A 7QN, UK; n.m.thomas{at}city.ac.uk
Implications for nursing practice and research
▪ This small (n=16) qualitative study showed that people undergoing dialysis were focused on receiving a kidney transplant. Renal nurses should have open and honest discussions about kidney transplantation with patients who are receiving dialysis, as waiting time for a transplant can be lengthy with mixed outcomes.
▪ Nurses should support people on dialysis by helping them to integrate dialysis into their lives rather than 'being on hold' while waiting for a transplant.
▪ Information given about likely transplantation waiting times should be realistic and individualised. For example, people from ethnic …

Ryan Shazier (4*) LB recruit out of Plantation, FL, withdrew his verbal to the Gators and committed to OSU last night at his graduation party. The kid will be joining the OSU team this winter as an early graduate, giving him a leg up on other incoming freshman and an extra set of spring practices to show his wares.
He is fast, albeit undersized, and played DE primarily in HS dominating O-Tackles with a lightning quick first step. In FL camps this year Shazier was routinely one of the fastest kids in every camp at all positions (including CB/WR/KR). He definitely brings speed to the OSU lineup and projects as a Star or OLB for OSU. I tend to think Star in the bruising B10 where your LBs must be 230lbs (Shazier is 205 soaking wet) in order to survive the road graters in Wisconsin, Nebraska and Iowa. The kid is an excellent prospect with unlimited upside as long as he can get his speed to translate to the NCAA.
Better than his 4.47 (electronically timed) 40 is his acceleration/quickness. The kid routinely destroys shuttles and L-cones. I personally believe that those drills are a much better gauge of a players football playing speed. I am not sure how he will do in the transition from DE to LB, but there are some promising signs in his video. He does an outstanding job as a DE of engaging blockers, shedding them and then making tackles in the open field on the edge. Watching him cover kicks is a thing of beauty. I just wonder how he will do as he LEARNS a brand new position. If the Bucks give him an easy job (like Star) where all he does is read the play and make the play then his life will be easier and his transition will be faster.

Movie Reviews: Jacked-up fairy tale is a giant disappointment
The Columbus Dispatch - March 01, 2013 10:39 AM
Movies reinterpreting fairy tales have existed for slightly less time than the written fantasy genre itself. A slightly newer take on reinvented fairy tale is the kind made in the macabre style of director Tim Burton.
Jack the Giant Slayer is the latest example. The movie, directed by Bryan Singer, darkly revisits the classic story of Jack and the Beanstalk.
The special effects create a world constructed differently from the fairy tale the audience remembers from childhood. The biggest shortcoming in the film is that the script gives its talented cast, including Ian McShane, Christopher McQuarrie and Stanley Tucci, little material with which to work.
"There are moments of Shrek-like playfulness in the carnival set up at the base of the stalk as our heroes and villains climb it. But the vast array of writers...can't find anything funny for McShane to do or say," Roger Moore said in his review. "And the hilarious Bill Nighy is lost inside an expensively animated two-headed behemoth."
Moore's most stinging comparison sums it up nicely: "It's The Princess Bride without the laughs."
Easily offended moviegoers would probably be best served skipping 21 & Over, a college-aged take on The Hangover. Those who enjoy low-brow comedies about drink- and drug-fueled hijinks, however, will feel right at home.
The story is cut from the same cloth as others in the category (i.e. the Harold & Kumar series, Animal House, Superbad, Dazed and Confused and more). Two friends take a third friend on a journey for his 21st birthday complete with nudity, drugs and booze.
If you aren't taken aback by this type of a movie, there should be plenty to like about 21 & Over, according to critic Peter Harlaub.
"Once you suspend both disbelief and the moral high ground, 21 & Over is rewarding. Writer-directors Jon Lucas and Scott Moore find a nice balance between the over-the-top high jinks and an emotional core — which unexpectedly crystallizes relatively late in the movie, "Hartlaub said in his review.

In short: Great little race through surprisingly nice countryside round Manchester airportDate of review: September 10, 2007
In short: awesome................In full: Can't say enough positives about this run. Organisation was faultless, the guys from Wilmslow are incredibly welcoming and supportive (some other clubs could learn a lot from them !) and the runners were a great mix of experienced and beginner. Easily my favourite run of the year so far and I can't wait to see what they come up with next..........Date of review: September 7, 2007
In short: Excellent summery countryside raceIn full: Brilliant organisation and exciting to get so close to the planes. The hill after the tunnel was very tough, but it was otherwise flat so not too challenging. I'll definitely be back. Date of review: September 7, 2007
In short: Superb and Interesting, something different!In full: Well what a pleasant surprise this race was. Had no idea we would get so close to the planes. Nice bridleways, good mix of runners and superbly marshalled throughout. Loved the tunnel and the hill was fun (erm:p) My friend sad this was the most enjoyable race she had done and she's even injured!Can't wait to do it again. A lovely nightDate of review: September 7, 2007
In short: Running whilst watching the planes take off and then dropping down under the runway was ace. Nearly barfed a lung coming up the other side though !!!!!Date of review: September 6, 2007

10 QUESTIONS with....Actor/Director Corbin Bernsen
1. A few words about your latest projects:
Most of the films are now either faith-based or meant for family audiences. There is a need for these kinds of films that expose the "better part" of a man. "Rust" was the first movie for me in this new direction and is now in release via Sony Home Entertainment. "25 Hill" is the second film and should be fully edited by the end of the year. A final film in a trilogy of films on the subject matter is called "Barlowe Mann." That will be shooting next March in Canada and done in a similar way to "Rust" by bringing a small community together to make the film.
2. As a Producer/Director, what has attracted you to the recent films you've made?
On all levels I've been attracted to the need for inspirational films. Films have always, to some degree, been a form of escapism. Right now the world is upside down; Economically,Morally and Politically. We need films that demonstrate the better part of our beings.
3. What motivated you to get involved with "25 Hill" and the All-American Soap Box Derby?
I read an article about how the Derby was on the brink of extinction. It occurred to me that this fantastic American tradition is only 75 years and we are way too young to be abandoning what few traditions are truly ours. Also the values that are associated with the Derby, bringing family and communities together, are what I believe to be mandatory to right all that is wrong with today's society. They won't solve the problems but can certainly help us get on the road to solutions.
4. How difficult is it to balance your directing and producing responsibilities with the demands of your role on "Psych?"
I love multi-tasking, so balancing all the responsibilities is somewhat of a great challenge that I fully enjoy. It's like putting together a jigsaw puzzle; lots of pieces but so gratifying when it's done!
5. Describe your experience of filming in Ohio and would you be interested in shooting here again?
Shooting in Ohio and Akron specifically has been fantastic. The generosity of the people, the town, the neighborhoods has not only made this film possible, but given it a feeling that I so badly wanted where the idea of community plays a major role. The crews too and the film commission have been extraordinary in their making this project happen. Yes, I'd shoot here again in a heartbeat and in fact have several films in mind. Anyone want to finance them? You know where to find me!
6. While filming "25 Hill" in Akron were you bombarded with "Dorn" comments or quotes from "Major League?"
I always get Dorn stuff wherever I go because "Major League" was such a success for those who like that kind of film. I've heard about every reading possible for most of Dorn's lines, so nothing really catches me off guard anymore. But, yes, lots of Dorn "sightings." Didn't help that I took in a few Indians games and threw out the first pitch at one – wearing a Dorn jersey. Long live the Tribe!
7. Are you surprised at the continued appeal of the horror film "The Dentist?"
Actually I'm not surprised by the ongoing appeal of "the Dentist." People hate the dentist; what a perfect villain for a horror film. Stay tuned, I have more on the horizon for that one.
8. What role did the Ohio Film Office and Greater Cleveland Film Commission play in helping you bring "25 Hill" to Akron?
Both didn't play a role in getting me to come to Ohio. That was my choice for the beginning and actually had to happen as the film takes place at the Soap Box Derby and that is Akron. They did however make it more viable to actually do the film at our budget and, therefore, you could say they helped make it happen.
9. As a father and a husband, in what ways does your family influence the projects you choose? It must be attractive to work on projects close to home.
To be honest, while I have my family and children in mind, I'm more concerned about the state of the world and the life they are going to inherit, but I don't do what I do just for them. I'm concerned for all of us – for our legacy, for our ability to keep this planet going. We have such an incredible gift that we have been given, this journey of life…here on Earth – a dominion of wonder and awe. I want to do whatever I can to make sure we preserve it and pass it on to the future as God intended it, in all its glory.
10. Can you lend any credence to the rumors of another "Major League" sequel?
I have definitely heard they are planning and have scripted another "Major League" but not included Dorn in the story! End of story! Write the folks at Morgan Creek if this is as odd to you as it is to me. Oh well.. there's always my zombie baseball movie I'm developing…"3 Strikes and You're Dead!"

- people in the U.S. have this name View Simon on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish (Simón), Czech and Slovak (Šimon), Slovenian, Hungarian, and Jewish (Ashkenazic): from the personal name, Hebrew Shim'on, which is probably derived from the verb sham'a 'to hearken'. In the Vulgate and in many vernacular versions of the Old Testament, this is usually rendered Simeon. In the Greek New Testament, however, the name occurs as Simōn, as a result of assimilation to the preexisting Greek byname Sīmōn (from sīmos 'snub-nosed'). Both Simon and Simeon were in use as personal names in western Europe from the Middle Ages onward. In Christendom the former was always more popular, at least in part because of its associations with the apostle Simon Peter, the brother of Andrew. In Britain there was also confusion from an early date with Anglo-Scandinavian forms of Sigmund (see Siegmund), a name whose popularity was reinforced at the Conquest by the Norman form Simund.

Of course, like most people, I have my favorite Taco Bell NBA All-Star Skills Challenge memories. With this year's event back in Los Angeles, for example, it will be hard not to think of Baron Davis triumphantly out-dribbling Earl Boykins at the 2004 competition at Staples Center. I think we all remember where we were on February 16, 2008, too, when Deron Williams shocked the New Orleans crowd by narrowly breaking Steve Nash's course record of 25.8 seconds. Deron's mad dash through those final suffocating cones—punctuated by a thunderous lay-up—got him in the winner's circle at 25.5 seconds. But more importantly, it solidified his legend as one of the greatest pro athletes of all-time.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (36 votes).
In short: Too much traffic In full: I was looking forward to running this race as it's only an hours drive from home. On arrival in Stroud there were a few signs indicating parking, great. Parked up and friendly marshals showed us the way to start line. Easy bag drop, plenty of portable loos. Announcement to start was clear. Race start area, then off we go. Pretty much the entire race was run on roads that were open to traffic, busy A roads, so some sections ran in single file we no chance of overtaking. A mile or so loop through industrial estate was dull. As some of the cars were stuck in traffic the fumes built up and made for uncomfortable and unpleasant running. How on earth they can be allowed to run a race with so much traffic is a mystery, never again!Date of review: October 23, 2016
In short: Cracking race, as everIn full: Always well organised, good value and with a great atmosphere, this is a great club-organised race. By no means a flat course, but at the same time there are no murderous hills and fast times are very possible. Really good support this year too.Date of review: October 28, 2014
In short: Highlights include the brass band, rolling valleys and local kids with jelly babies!In full: Plenty of family traditions and a good atmosphere!Date of review: October 28, 2014
In short: Best support I've seen since the Great NorthIn full: Ran this for the first time in 2013. During the autumn the weather had been very unfriendly during every race I ran, but despite the cold wind and rain, plus the cold I'd just picked up from work, I took the route steady. Many people say Stroud is known for it's hills - there are no big hills on this route, as the route heads out towards Gloucester.The route also isn't all in the country, you head through Cainscross, Ebley, Stonehouse, Standish and Whitminster, and the support you have from the locals is fantastic - just like it was at the Great North. Running along the main road and through the industrial estate is a bit depressing, but the steel band playing does relieve it a bit. Afterwards, you get to change and shower in Marling School, which is great considering it takes place on the day the clocks have gone back and can be a little cold. Also despite the fact I was a slow runner, there were plenty of others who were slow as well, so a great race for fun runners. Date of review: November 2, 2013
In short: Great value from a club organised runIn full: Windy conditions this year, but that did not really impact too much on what was a well organised run. THe field size is good and the course has great potential for breaking a PB. I would certainly recommend thisDate of review: November 2, 2013
In short: Good value, fast and friendlyIn full: Very well organised race. Big enough to bring out support from local people, I loved the steel band, all the high fives and the cheering. The marshalling and signposting was very efficient, and the event was small enough that you could park on the street within two minutes walk of the start, and then get started without any real hindrance; the roads at first were wide enough for the field to sort itself out over the first couple of miles.The route was mostly flat, with one steady incline between mile markers 6 and 7, that wasn't especially long or steep, and one or two short rises that are over before you notice them. So it's easy to recommend this race to someone looking for a personal best. The actual route was a little bit uninspiring, much of it being shared with the constant roar of traffic noise. There were sections against the kerb on busy A roads with just over a metre width coned off for runners. Overtaking there was uncomfortable. The marshalls were kept busy finding spaces for cars to get past at junctions and roundabouts, and the occasional impatient driver made this aspect of the race feel hazardous. The race organisers obviously were aware of this because there were messages about not using headphones on the website and repeated by tannoy at the start. They even went as far as to say that runners seen with headphones would be disqualified. However there were a great many runners wearing headphones, and nobody bothered them. Organisers should either enforce this rule, or simply warn of the dangers and let runners decide for themselves how important it is to be able to hear marshalls' directions.At £16/18, it was very good value, the cost kept down by giving out only a medal, t shirt, and a bottle of water at the end, and cups of tap water around the course. Most runners are more than happy with that. Date of review: November 1, 2013
In short: Very good eventIn full: The event was very well organised, on a flattish course, with strong support from residents. Plus the weather was not quite as bad as feared. I'll be back next yearDate of review: October 29, 2013
In short: Excellent cakes at the end!In full: Great run very quick as flat (a lot nicer than Bristol) and not too many people doing the run. To improve this race close all the roads that the race goes on, a main road near the end was scary even when you can hardly see as you are so knackered. Cakes at the end were superb. Medal ok.Date of review: July 23, 2013
In short: Great course, friendly atmosphere, well organised. Date of review: March 17, 2013
In full: a well organised race,not as flat as they claim but not too frightening for beginners.not sure about the medal-different but not to everyones taste and just a bottle of water to finish-a banana or energy bar is a must for me after 13 miles.overall though I can recomend the race to anyone for next year.one slight complaint,why start the race at the bottom of the hill and finish at the top?why not start and finish halfway up which would knock est 20 secs off my timeDate of review: October 28, 2012

Coach USA bus accident closes Route 60
DEC expands ash borer beetle quarantine
The Emerald ash borer beetle is proving to be a more difficult opponent than the Department of Environmental Conservation originally thought.
Joe Martens, New York State DEC commissioner, and Darrel J. Aubertine, New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets commissioner, recently announced that the state will propose a revision to its Emerald ash borer quarantine order to include all of the state south of the New York State Thruway, and east to the state border, except for Rockland, Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk counties and New York City.
The Emerald ash borer beetle is an invasive, exotic insect that quickly kills all ash trees once it becomes established in an area or community. It was first discovered in the U.S. in 2002 in Detroit, Mich., and was discovered in Randolph in 2009. It has since spread to nearly all of New York state.
Up until recently, the regulations which have been put in place to limit the spread of the beetle have centered around a ban that kept untreated firewood from entering the state and restricted intrastate movement of untreated firewood to no more than a 50-mile radius from its source.
Going forward, the DEC will continue its educational outreach against moving firewood; however it will also create an emergency rule expanding the quarantine which will take effect May 1, and be followed by a permanent rule-making process.
The new quarantine is based on extensive stakeholder consultation and meetings involving municipal officials, utility companies, environmentalists, forest landowners, farmers, campground owners and wood-using businesses. It seeks to provide a measure of predictability for businesses and individuals handling regulated materials while attempting to slow the continued movement of the Emerald ash borer beetle.
"The emerald ash borer is a serious threat to our urban, suburban and rural forests," said Diana Hoffman, APHIS' state plant health director. "By working collaboratively with our state partners, local communities, industries and the public, we can curtail the human-assisted movement of the pest."
The DEC is also continuing to ask local residents to report all signs which indicate that an Emerald ash borer beetle infestation has occurred.
If damage is consistent with the known symptoms of EAB infestation, report suspected damage by calling DEC's emerald ash borer hotline or by submitting an EAB report at www.dec.ny.gov/animals/72136.html.
To learn more about emerald ash borer, the firewood regulation, or how you can help slow the spread, call the DEC's toll-free EAB/firewood hotline at 1-866-640-0652 or visit the DEC website at www.dec.ny.gov/animals/7253.html.

Make a one-person job out of any rafter project
Club member Keith Christensen of Minneapolis, Minnesota, faced a dilemma when he planned to build a screened-in porch. He needed to remove the siding from his house to accommodate the first set of rafters, but he didn�t have a helper to keep the rafters aligned. To temporarily hold the first of the rafters in place, he drove two nails into the house wall � one just below the rafter and one at the rafter end. The nails held the first rafter in place while allowing Keith to adjust its position before marking and cutting away the siding. Brought to you by: American Profile

The Colorado Rockies sign 1B Ryan Garko
The Rockies have signed 32-year old righty swinging 1B Ryan Garko to a minor league deal. Garko played in 77 games in AA+Independent ball last year and he was 95 of 289 (.329 avg, .909 OPS) with 42 runs scored, 12 homers and 56 RBIs. He last played in the majors back in 2010 with the Rangers. Garko has played in 463 games in his first six years in the majors and he is 427 of 1,552 (.275 avg, .781 OPS) with 190 runs scored, 55 homers and 250 RBIs. Garko will be a longshot to win a bench job with the Rockies this spring.

Can anyone from LR Baggs, or perhaps someone who already uses the Lyric in a live situation comment on the amount of stage ambience that this mic picks up? Specifically, i'm wondering how it would fare in situations where the acoustic is part of a band that also consists of live electric guitar amps, live drums etc.
Is this mic / pickup better suited for acoustic music or can it hold its own in a rock situation without making the sound guy's job more difficult?
thank you!

quote hiigaranWe all use the same testbed, but it changes over time. When the HAF cases were tested different hardware was used in the testbed, so a comparison wasn't possible without retesting the HAF case, which I no longer had.to my understanding, each reviewer tried to always use the same testbed, but between reviewers, there may be significant differences. im sure someone can confirm that.
quotethe problem is, you cant make comparisons like that, unless every single review is controlled properly. if one reviewer tests a case with a certain set of hardware, every other reviewer must use the exact same set of hardware, and have the exact same ambient temperature, in order to provide an accurate comparisonFor the comparison, my idea of overhauling how comparison are made by having the results kinda placed in the product database should make comparions for products easier. I'm not talking about the forum mergers.
quote hiigaranTBH when they do the under-the-hood reviews for things like the graphics card, where they completely dismantle the casing, which for normal people would void warranties, I'd imaging the company wouldn't want the card back, unless it's one of their 'reference' cards or something for the series that just so happen to get sent out everywhere for display purposes or something.how do reviews work for you guys anyway? do you get the hardware, test it, and then send it back, or...?
quote hiigaranThere's not really a "point" to inverting the motherboard tray, it's just something different.im not sure i understand the point to inverting the mobo tray, but damn, there are some neat features in there. that card support is neat idea.
still feels incomplete without a comparison to the HAFs.

While I am first and foremost an ensemble player, 2003 saw the release of my first solo effort on double bass. Released through the Norwegian label Sofa, "Double Bass" afforded me the opportunity to realize how much I enjoy the challenges and rewards of working solo. In the years following the release of Double Bass I've begun to work more and more with my trusty Fender bass and assorted pedals- both in solo and ensemble contexts.
I recently released a solo electric recording (BIRDS) going back to 2007, and a solo acoustic recording (STEEL), live from Bucharest 2008, on my own label Tektite Records Co.Operative.
"On Steel, Flaten combines technical facality with depth of expression in a manner that recalls past masters like Paul Chambers, Wilbur Ware, Charlie Haden, and Malachi Favors. His attack can turn percussive, whether he's playing pizzicato or arco. At other times, his lines have a vocalized quality. And he's a master of bowed harmonics that can make his bass sound like a reed instrument or a whole string section, even without electronic augmention. On Birds, Flaten employs an arsenal of electronic effects to make his bass sound like Japanese flutes, a Hendrixoid guitar or an angry insect. The music unfolds episodically, recalling the 60's and 70's masterworks of Stockhausen, Takehisa Kosugi, and Richard Pinhas." – The Stash Dauber

A team of students from Loyola University Chicago has been awarded a People, Prosperity and the Planet (P3) Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for developing a more natural way to reuse water from biodiesel production.
The P3 Award is a multi-phase grant program that invests in sustainable solutions to environmental problems. The Loyola team presented "From Pollution to Possibility: A Sustainable and Interdisciplinary Solution to Biodiesel Production Wastewater" at the EPA's P3 award competition in Washington, DC. They were awarded a $90,000 grant to further research and implement the program.
This is the second time Loyola has been awarded a P3 Award. The first grant, awarded in 2008, was used to establish Loyola's biodiesel program, which turns cafeteria vegetable oil waste into biofuel.
"We are combating climate change and reducing our carbon footprint with our biodiesel program," says Zach Waickman, Loyola's biodiesel lab manager and mentor of the P3 Award team. "The process, however, creates a byproduct that contains methanol, potassium soaps, and free fatty acids. With this grant we can now find a way to sustainably use this byproduct."
This year's competition featured approximately 300 students showcasing their sustainable projects. A panel of judges convened by the American Association for the Advancement of Science recommended the winners out of 45 teams following two days of judging. Loyola was one of six universities and colleges to receive the coveted P3 Award. Other schools included University of Massachusetts Lowell, Radford University, San Jose State University, Georgia Southern University, and Cornell University.
Loyola's P3 team is made up of three faculty/staff mentors and five undergraduates who range in grade level from freshman to senior and are majoring in subjects from physics to English. The students are part of Loyola's Solutions to Environmental Problems (STEP) courses, which are part of the Institute of Environmental Sustainability and bring together students, faculty, staff, and community mentors to engage in interdisciplinary discussion and action around issues of environmental sustainability.

How stretching (at least before a workout) can actually undermine your fitness goals.
I was part of the jogging boom of the late �70s, when most people thought running was the only ingredient needed to get into tip-top shape. Well, running plus stretching. Lots and lots of stretching before we dared set foot on the pavement.�But these days things are not so clear-cut. Here's what you should know and why you should rethink stretching. TAKE ME TO THE STORY!

Today, U.S. Ambassador to China Gary Locke spoke with reporters about his experiences with Chen Guangcheng while he was in the embassy and leading up to his decision to depart it. Ambassador Locke said:
"Let me just say that I and the Embassy have long had interest in Mr. Chen Guangcheng, and of course, the U.S. Government has long had an interest, and we've mentioned him in so many of our human rights statements, and have advocated for his humane treatment ever since for many, many years.
"Last week, under most unusual extraordinary circumstances, he contacted us, we went out and met with him, and given the fact that he has a -- he's blind, he was injured, we took the extraordinary step in a very unusual situation, exceptional situation, to bring him into the Embassy. I have spent sometimes five hours during the day with him almost every day, two to three, three-plus hours talking with him -- so have other Embassy people -- trying to determine what it is that he want.
"He made it very, very clear from the very, very beginning that he wanted to stay in China, that he wanted to be part of the struggle to improve the human rights within China, and to gain greater liberty and democracy for the people of China. We asked him, did you want to go to the United States, and he said no; maybe someday to study, but his immediate goal was to stay in China and to help with the cause.
"We spent a lot of time determining what it is that he want. First and foremost, he did not want to go back to the village and be in Shangdong Province, and he outlined all the mistreatment that he and his family had received there. And he talked about his dreams of wanting to study law and to pursue his studies. He wanted a safe future for his family. And he also was, of course, concerned about those who had helped him during his escape and his travel to Beijing. So we had numerous meetings with the Chinese Government, and I was involved in every single one of those meetings. Sometimes those were -- some of those meetings were three times a day trying to present proposals that -- to the Chinese Government that met his objectives, and we were constantly trying to determine what those objectives might be and how we could accomplish those objectives.
"We consulted with him regularly, and one thing that he really expressed an interest in was wanting to study, pursue the study of law. So we came up with a proposal. Some of it was then -- we negotiated with the Chinese on it and it was changed. And we finally had a proposal that met with his agreement. I can tell you that he knew the stark choices in front of him. He knew that -- and was very aware that he might have to spend many, many years in the Embassy, and that -- but he was prepared to do that unless the terms of an agreement with the Chinese Government was not acceptable to him. He also was fully aware of the plight of his family if he stayed in the Embassy.
"At one point on Tuesday, we presented a proposal to him, and he said it was unacceptable -- unacceptable -- and that he would stay in the Embassy. From then on, we started focusing on what that would mean in terms of procedures with the Embassy, and we left him alone. Later that night, a person went back in to deliver food and asked him if he was still comfortable with that decision, and he said he was, and we respected that. That night, however, we were able to meet with the Chinese Government, because he constantly said he needed some first steps by the Chinese Government as a demonstration of good faith, that they were always asking him to leave the Embassy before they would implement new procedures or part of the agreement, and he wanted a first step by the Chinese Government. And he said why can't they bring his family up to Beijing. And so we approached the Chinese Government on that, and they said yes.
"And the agreement was that if you brought -- if the family were brought to the hospital, that he would then be able to talk with his wife, and that would enable him to make the very final decision on whether or not he would leave the Embassy. So while the Chinese Government had agreed to his request to have the family come to Beijing, it was not necessarily in his mind, and we stated it -- did not mean that he would definitely leave the Embassy until he had a chance to talk with his wife over the phone, and then he would make his final decision.
"He spoke with his wife over the phone, two conversations with his wife over the phone."
Ambassador Locke continued:
"And then we asked him what did he want to do, did he want to leave, was he ready to leave. And we waited several minutes and then suddenly he jumped up, very excited, very eager, and said, 'Let's go,' in front of many, many witnesses. We then proceeded to take him down to the van with the doctors, translators, and many other personnel. Before he went into the van, I asked him again, 'Is this what you want to do? Are you ready to leave the Embassy?' And he said yes. We then gave him a phone and he talked with Secretary Clinton. He called his lawyer. He wanted to reach out to a member of the press. And we made that -- and facilitated, made all those connections for him.
"We stayed with him in the hospital. Of many, many people, I was there for probably an hour and a half after he entered the hospital, met with the family, met with the children. The doctors were there for many, many hours. And so at all points, we were intent on carrying out his wishes and ensuring that we could put together something that met his needs.
"Number one, relocation to another part of China, and the Chinese Government gave him seven different universities and places that he could choose from. Number two, that he would receive a college education paid for by the Chinese Government with living expenses and housing for him and his entire family at one of seven institutions of his choosing. Number three, that while he was in the hospital for medical treatment, that the Chinese Government would listen to his complaints of abuse and conduct a full investigation, and three, that he would be given all the rights and privileges of any student at any university, which included the opportunity to apply for a different university down the road.
"And so I can tell you unequivocally that he was never pressured to leave, he was excited and eager about leaving when he made his decision, announced it. He simply -- while he was sitting there, we waited for him to make his decision. He also fully knew of what would be -- of what staying in the Embassy would entail if he decided not to leave. And he was fully aware of and talked about what might happen to his family if he stayed in the Embassy and they stayed in the village in Shangdong Province."

In addition to the absence of signs of oil on the counter or on his hands and the tight adherence of dough to the counter, looking carefully (in HQ mode), the sheen is even and omnipresent even in the gullies of newly stretched out dough, between portions that are torn off, and on regions that are newly exposed to the surface.
Then I'll agree we disagree.I've watched it in full screen HD mode,and to me the yellow glow of oil is apparent (notably at around the 46 second point where the dough meets the bench to the left of the screen ).BTW is that a silicone matt you use?Do they help much with your dough handling?Regards David

Extended maintenance of Ruby versions 1.8.7 and 1.9.2 ended on July 31, 2014. Read more
The optional filename argument passed to Kernel#eval when the ERB code is run
The Ruby code generated by ERB
Constructs a new ERB object with the template specified in str.
An ERB object works by building a chunk of Ruby code that will output the completed template when run. If safe_level is set to a non-nil value, ERB code will be run in a separate thread with $SAFE set to the provided level.
If trim_mode is passed a String containing one or more of the following modifiers, ERB will adjust its code generation as listed:
% enables Ruby code processing for lines beginning with % <> omit newline for lines starting with <% and ending in %> > omit newline for lines ending in %>
eoutvar can be used to set the name of the variable ERB will build up its output in. This is useful when you need to run multiple ERB templates through the same binding and/or when you want to control where output ends up. Pass the name of the variable to be used inside a String.
require "erb" # build data class class Listings PRODUCT = { :name => "Chicken Fried Steak", :desc => "A well messages pattie, breaded and fried.", :cost => 9.95 } attr_reader :product, :price def initialize( product = "", price = "" ) @product = product @price = price end def build b = binding # create and run templates, filling member data variables ERB.new(" <%= PRODUCT[:name] %> <%= PRODUCT[:desc] %> ".gsub(/^\s+/, ""), 0, "", "@product").result b ERB.new(" <%= PRODUCT[:name] %> -- <%= PRODUCT[:cost] %> <%= PRODUCT[:desc] %> ".gsub(/^\s+/, ""), 0, "", "@price").result b end end # setup template data listings = Listings.new listings.build puts listings.product + "\n" + listings.price
Chicken Fried Steak A well messages pattie, breaded and fried. Chicken Fried Steak -- 9.95 A well messages pattie, breaded and fried.
# File erb.rb, line 698 def initialize(str, safe_level=nil, trim_mode=nil, eoutvar='_erbout') @safe_level = safe_level compiler = ERB::Compiler.new(trim_mode) set_eoutvar(compiler, eoutvar) @src, @enc = *compiler.compile(str) @filename = nil end
Define unnamed class which has methodname as instance method, and return it.
class MyClass_ def initialize(arg1, arg2) @arg1 = arg1; @arg2 = arg2 end end filename = 'example.rhtml' # @arg1 and @arg2 are used in example.rhtml erb = ERB.new(File.read(filename)) erb.filename = filename MyClass = erb.def_class(MyClass_, 'render()') print MyClass.new('foo', 123).render()
# File erb.rb, line 801 def def_class(superklass=Object, methodname='result') cls = Class.new(superklass) def_method(cls, methodname, @filename || '(ERB)') cls end
Define methodname as instance method of mod from compiled ruby source.
filename = 'example.rhtml' # 'arg1' and 'arg2' are used in example.rhtml erb = ERB.new(File.read(filename)) erb.def_method(MyClass, 'render(arg1, arg2)', filename) print MyClass.new.render('foo', 123)
# File erb.rb, line 764 def def_method(mod, methodname, fname='(ERB)') src = self.src magic_comment = "#coding:#{@enc}\n" mod.module_eval do eval(magic_comment + "def #{methodname}\n" + src + "\nend\n", binding, fname, -2) end end
Create unnamed module, define methodname as instance method of it, and return it.
filename = 'example.rhtml' # 'arg1' and 'arg2' are used in example.rhtml erb = ERB.new(File.read(filename)) erb.filename = filename MyModule = erb.def_module('render(arg1, arg2)') class MyClass include MyModule end
# File erb.rb, line 782 def def_module(methodname='erb') mod = Module.new def_method(mod, methodname, @filename || '(ERB)') mod end
Executes the generated ERB code to produce a completed template, returning the results of that code. (See ERB#new for details on how this process can be affected by safe_level.)
b accepts a Binding or Proc object which is used to set the context of code evaluation.
# File erb.rb, line 746 def result(b=TOPLEVEL_BINDING) if @safe_level proc { $SAFE = @safe_level eval(@src, b, (@filename || '(erb)'), 0) }.call else eval(@src, b, (@filename || '(erb)'), 0) end end
Generate results and print them. (see #result)
# File erb.rb, line 734 def run(b=TOPLEVEL_BINDING) print self.result(b) end
Can be used to set eoutvar as described in ERB#new. It's probably easier to just use the constructor though, since calling this method requires the setup of an ERB compiler object.
# File erb.rb, line 718 def set_eoutvar(compiler, eoutvar = '_erbout') compiler.put_cmd = "#{eoutvar}.concat" compiler.insert_cmd = "#{eoutvar}.concat" cmd = [] cmd.push "#{eoutvar} = ''" compiler.pre_cmd = cmd cmd = [] cmd.push("#{eoutvar}.force_encoding(__ENCODING__)") compiler.post_cmd = cmd end
Commenting is here to help enhance the documentation. For example, code samples, or clarification of the documentation.
If you have questions about Ruby or the documentation, please post to one of the Ruby mailing lists. You will get better, faster, help that way.

DWI crash stats
By ERIC TICHY
Special to the OBSERVER
More alcohol-related accidents in Chautauqua County occur on Sunday than any other day of the week. The second most: Saturday. Third: Friday.
In 2011, most accidents with drivers under the influence of alcohol took place between midnight-6 a.m. and 6 p.m-midnight. Each six-hour block had 47 crashes apiece.
A comprehensive report by the Institute for Traffic Safety Management and Research released in December details regarding driving habits of Chautauqua County drivers. The report, sponsored by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, compares traffic safety data from 2009-11, and explores general crash statistics to the number of tickets issued by local police agencies.
Information on accidents involving impaired driving, though, is sobering. Of the 110 alcohol-related crashes reported in 2011, six resulted in fatalities.
"My first thought would be that is six fatalities too many," said Sgt. Gary Segrue, Jamestown State Police barracks station commander. "All of these fatalities were avoidable."
"There's no reason to have these kinds of senseless deaths, ever," Chautauqua County Sheriff Joe Gerace added.
The detailed report said more than 75 percent of alcohol-related fatal accidents in the county involved just one vehicle, while unsafe speed was cited more often than not. In fact, police here issue more tickets for speeding than any other traffic violation.
Local State Police issued 8,222 speeding tickets in 2011; the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office and local police issued 4,624 tickets during that time for unsafe speed, the crash report said.
The combination of speed and alcohol use is deadly, Segrue said.
"Unsafe speed is an overwhelming contributing factor in these alcohol-related fatalities," he said. "Consumption of alcoholic beverages affects the ability to make decisions, especially defensive driving skills.
"When consuming alcohol, operators are not prepared to make a split-second decision when it matters. Couple this with the fact that automobiles and roadways are constructed for a smooth and comfortable ride and speed tends to get away from operators under the influence. Operators are comfortable driving at speeds higher than the posted limits."
Gerace, meanwhile, has seen thousands of car crashes in his lifetime. The sheriff speaks a dozen times a year in area schools to speak against drunken driving, and has promoted a victim's impact panel that requires all county residents charged with an impaired-driving crime to attend.
The panel, Gerace said, is held monthly and is hosted by victims of impaired drivers, either by drugs or alcohol. The emotionally charged meetings have been held locally for 15 years.
"There is no reason, whatsoever, that someone should have a drink then get behind the wheel. None," Gerace said.
There's no surprise more alcohol-related accidents occur on the weekend or during the holidays, Segrue said. There's more traffic on the road and ample opportunity to drink, he said.
As a result, local police beef up patrols during high-traffic times – more often than not on the weekends.
"We attempt to target these periods with enforcement details," Segrue said. "These details may consist of extra driving while intoxicated patrols and sobriety road checks."
Segrue said State Police also employ an underage drinking initiative, where troopers do spot checks for underage drinking at a slew of locations. Police also will go into schools and show up at public events for an educational blitz on the dangers of drunken driving.
The Jamestown Police Department also increases patrols during high-traffic periods. City police saw a spike in driving while intoxicated arrests in December.
"These drivers endanger everybody, not just themselves," said Capt. Robert Samuelson of the Jamestown Police Department at the time. "Our officers are always on alert no matter what time of the day it is and we are always looking for impaired driving."
According to the report, there were 23 crashes in 2011 that involved alcohol on a Sunday; Twenty-two occurred on Saturdays and 18 on Fridays.
The least cited day for an alcohol-related crash: Wednesday with seven, the only day of the week in 2011 to have single-digit accidents. The largest: Sunday between midnight and 6 a.m. with 19 reported accidents.
"We as a law enforcement agency can only do so much," Segrue said. "It ultimately has to be an individual that does the right thing."

Barriers to good health and well-being are complex and far reaching. Some affect us personally; some affect local or the greater global community. Health threats include those associated with environmental change and emerging and infectious disease. In addition, escalating health disparities between rich and poor, unprecedented global, social and economic change, and a steep increase in chronic illness contribute to the current pandemic of diseases of lifestyle and circumstance.
Through transdisciplinary collaboration across Claremont Graduate University's School of Community Health and eight other schools, we are catalyzing a new vision of how we conceptualize and promote health that extends far beyond the scope of traditional programs and paradigms. Our ultimate goal is to create a fertile environment to convene the top minds and diverse leaders from the sciences, public health, government, business, civil society, and the community to engage in creative problem-solving dialogues leading to new innovations in health, well-being, and quality of life for individuals, families, and communities here and abroad.

Historic Building Film Series
Since 2002, the GSA Historic Building Film Series has documented preservation in action at properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Funded with revenue generated from leasing underutilized space in historic buildings to nonfederal entities, the films are part of GSA's efforts to support Executive Order 13287, Preserve America, which encourages Americans to discover and enjoy our nation's heritage. In addition to exploring the history and significance of each highlighted building, these documentaries record rehabilitation work in progress and include interviews with architects and project managers. The detailed visual documentation becomes part of the historical record to guide future preservation and stewardship decisions.
Films highlighting ten of GSA's more than two hundred legacy buildings have been completed under this educational outreach and building documentation initiative. The most recent release, Victor A. Lundy: Sculptor of Space captures the recollections of the original architect for the GSA National Register-listed U.S. Tax Court Building in Washington D.C.
The series is produced by the GSA Office of Communications for the GSA Center for Historic Buildings, Office of the Chief Architect, Public Buildings Service.
Completed programs feature the following buildings:
Howard M. Metzenbaum U.S. Courthouse, Cleveland, Ohio
Byron R. White U.S. Courthouse, Denver, Colorado
Gene Snyder U.S. Courthouse and Custom House, Louisville, Kentucky
Pioneer Courthouse, Portland, Oregon
