ZHAOTONG, Yunnan, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- Sixty-seven people have been confirmed dead and 731 others injured after multiple earthquakes struck a mountainous region in southwest China on Friday, authorities said.
Rescuers in Yunnan Province said on Friday night they had reached 90 percent of the six quake-hit counties under Zhaotong, where a total of 740,000 people had been affected by the quakes.
The disaster has so far incurred 3.5 billion yuan (551 million U.S. dollars) in direct economic losses, Yunnan's civil affairs department said.
Two quakes measuring 5.7 and 5.6 on the Richter scale hit a border area near Yiliang in Yunnan and Weining county in Guizhou province at 11:19 a.m. and 12:16 p.m. Friday, respectively.
The quakes have cut off electricity and triggered landslides that have blocked roads, creating complications for rescuers.
Yunnan's civil affairs department said the quakes destroyed 6,650 houses and damaged 430,000 others. More than 100,000 residents have been evacuated and 100,000 others are in need of relocation.
Local authorities are also taking epidemic control measures after shed collapses had killed more than 4,300 heads of cattle in Yunnan. Over 153 hectares of farmlands were damaged or destroyed.
Officials in Guizhou said two people were injured and lives of nearly 28,000 people were disrupted in Weining county. Eighteen houses were toppled and more than 10,000 houses were damaged in the quakes.
"The hardest part of the rescue will be handling traffic," said Li Fuchun, head of Luozehe township in Yiliang. "Roads are blocked and rescuers have to climb mountains to reach hard-hit villages."
Li said the number of casualties might be high, although it will be impossible to assess until rescuers reach more remote areas.
Xinhua reporters in the hardest-hit Luozehe saw large rocks, some as tall as four meters, tumbling down mountain slopes and crushing houses and cars.
A settlement established near a zinc mine in Luozehe was seriously damaged. More than two dozen mining families were forced to evacuate.
"It is scary. My brother was killed by falling rocks. The aftershocks have struck again and again. We are so scared," said miner Peng Zhuwen.
Retired miner Liu Linde, 62, said he was thrown three meters off the road when the quake struck.
"When I returned, the door to my home had collapsed. Cracks were everywhere on the walls," Liu said.
Chinese netizens in the quake-hit region have swarmed to Sina Weibo, a popular microblogging site, to seek information on their missing family members and friends or to describe their plights after the quakes.
In one post, an Internet user in the Xiafajie Village said villagers were in desperate need of tents after their houses were damaged in the quakes.
"We dare not return to the cracked houses and had to stay in the vegetable fields. It's getting cold and we fear there might be rains," said the post by "Pig that can climb trees JY."
Chinese President Hu Jintao, who is in Russia for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, has called for immediate efforts to help with disaster relief work.
In a meeting on relief work held en route to the quake zone, Premier Wen Jiabao stressed that efforts to save lives should come first to minimize casualties.
Wen also said intensified efforts will be needed to take care of the injured, as well as restore damaged infrastructure facilities to facilitate the rescue work.
Yunnan has initiated a level-one emergency response to the quakes. The Red Cross Society of China has dispatched 650 tents and 3,000 quilts to the disaster-hit region.
The Chengdu Military Area Command in southwest China said it has sent 1,300 soldiers equipped with relief materials to join rescue efforts.
Local meteorological authorities said the region will experience rains in the coming three days, which may affect the ongoing rescue.
The quake-stricken area is relatively populous, which may result in heavier casualties, noted Huangfu Gang, director of Yunnan's seismological bureau.
The area's population density is estimated to be 205 people per square km, nearly twice the figure for the whole province, Huangfu said.
He said homes and buildings in the relatively poor region were not built strongly enough to resist the destructive power of a violent earthquake.
The mountainous terrain also made the quake more devastating, as landslides were more easily triggered, the expert added.
Zhaotong, with a population of about 5.6 million, is prone to geological disasters. A magnitude-5.6 earthquake in 2003 killed four people and injured 594 in Ludian county. In 2010, rain-triggered landslides left 45 dead or missing in Qiaojia county.

The Fayetteville-Manlius School District will soon follow in the footsteps of several neighboring school districts that employ school resource officers.
On Jan. 9, the F-M Board of Education approved hiring a school resource officer (SRO) to enhance current district wide safety and security measures. The SRO's primary responsibility will be to mentor and educate students on the district's Code of Conduct – both the expected behaviors according to the code and the consequences of violating the code.
Approximately 40 percent of Onondaga-Cortland-Madison BOCES school districts employ SROs, who are on-duty police officers, and only five of those districts have populations at or exceeding the number of students at F-M High School, according to a recent survey conducted by the F-M administration. Only two districts with a population substantially less than F-M employ an SRO, according to the survey.
"Parents and community members entrust the school district with its children, and it is the district's responsibility to ensure that students are safe and secure when in our care," said Board President Marissa Mims. "We have adopted core values that include cultivating a school climate of civility and strong character. An SRO would help promote those values throughout our district."
Experts, including Manlius Police Department officials, have told district officials that hiring an SRO would allow students to develop a relationship with the officer that may prevent some issues with drugs, alcohol, and bullying, including cyber bullying. A Manlius police officer currently serves as an SRO for the East Syracuse-Minoa School District.
The earliest an officer could be in place would be July 1. The SRO will be housed at the high school but available to work with students and staff at any of the district's other five school buildings.
"We look forward to working with someone who will allow us to further our mission and goals while being a resource for us when there are incidents that require the involvement of local law enforcement, as there occasionally are in any school district," said Superintendent Corliss Kaiser.
In December, the F-M Safety & Security Task Force – a group of 41 Fayetteville-Manlius School District community members that included F-M teachers and administrators, students, parents, and elected officials – unanimously recommended to the Board that the district hire an SRO.
"Task force members believe the addition of an SRO would enable the district to focus on continuous improvement of the safety and security of the internal and external facilities and grounds and the important work of education and mentoring of youth," the F-M Safety & Security Task Force Final Report states. "While not at epidemic stages, drugs, alcohol, and face-to-face bullying and cyber bullying are a concern here, as in all schools."
The task force grew out of a Board request in August for Dr. Kaiser to research the issue of hiring an SRO for the district. It evolved as part of the commitment of the Board and administration to continuously improve the educational environment for all students, as well as the work environment for its staff.
The task force met four times during November and early December. To help form its recommendations, the group heard from district officials and safety and security experts and reviewed district data on reported incidents as well as survey results from F-M students and community members on district safety and security.
On Nov. 28, J.M. Cassalia and Associates conducted a preliminary security assessment focusing on the high school. The assessment's final recommendation was that the district centralize safety and security under one entity, as multiple staff members are currently responsible for various safety and security aspects. Hiring an SRO would fulfill that recommendation.

El Pais Owner Said to Plan $3.8 Billion Debt RestructuringEsteban Duarte and Manuel Baigorri
Promotora de Informaciones SA, the publisher of El Pais newspaper, wants to reorganize the terms of about 2.9 billion euros ($3.8 billion) of debt, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Prisa, as Spain's biggest media company is known, plans to propose terms of the restructuring to lenders as soon as next month, the person said, asking not to be identified because the deliberations are private.
The unprofitable media company is reopening talks as about 1.28 billion euros of loans near an initial maturity date in March 2014, according to its latest annual report. Shares of Prisa have fallen about 40 percent in the past year as newspaper readership and advertising decline and the euro-area's fourth-largest economy endures a six-year economic slump and rising unemployment.
"The company needs this restructuring and the market was waiting for this deal to happen but we still need to see the results of the agreement and conditions imposed by banks," Pedro Oliveira, an analyst at Banco BPI in Porto, Portugal, said by telephone today.
An official at Madrid-based Prisa declined to comment when contacted by Bloomberg News today.
Prisa shares were unchanged at 21.5 euro cents at 2:07 p.m. in Madrid, valuing the company at 218.6 million euros.
Reducing Debt
Prisa said earlier this month it was still holding talks with several companies to sell literature business Alfaguara as well as other assets as it seeks to reduce debt. Any deal will be announced after a binding agreement is reached, the company said. Prisa's net loss was 255 million euros last year, compared with 451 million euros a year earlier.
The Spanish advertising market is poised to fall about 11 percent compared with a year earlier, said Eduardo Madinaveitia, a director for media research at Zenith Media in Madrid. It's now at levels seen in the mid-1990s, he said.
"We've gone through six difficult years already and the outlook for advertising still remains very challenging after the first quarter," Madinaveitia said in a phone interview last week. "April was also horrible. It's just a complete disaster."

There are so many different ways to enjoy summer in British Columbia, whether it's camping, hiking, biking or climbing in the mountains, fishing in rivers and streams, swimming and boating in the Okanagan, sailing along the coast, or enjoying urban pursuits in the cities. Whatever your favourite summer activity is, BC's craft brewers are working overtime to make sure they have a summer-themed beer for you to enjoy. Here are some of summer craft beer picks to look for.
"Radler" means "cyclist" in German, but it also refers to a uniquely German blend of lager and juice that has been popular there for a century as a low-alcohol beverage to enjoy alongside summer activities (hence the name). When the Austrian brewery Stiegl launched its Grapefruit Radler in tall cans here last year it was a huge hit. This summer, a few BC breweries have released their own versions, including Kelowna's Tree Brewing and Vancouver's Parallel 49 Brewing. Tree's 50-50 blend is a little lighter (2.5% ABV) and slightly sweeter with more carbonation, while P49's very pink Tricycle Radler (3.5% ABV) is 70% lager and 30% juice. Both are uniquely refreshing in the hot summer sun. Tree sells its in single 500-ml cans while P49's is packaged in six-packs of 355-ml cans.
When Victoria's Moon Under Water brewpub decided to launch its new Light Side of the Moon Session Lager, brewmaster Clay Potter wanted to package the beer in cans for people to take camping or load into a cooler. The problem was his brewery is simply too small for a canning system. The solution? A new company called West Coast Canning that brought their mobile system to the Moon for a day of canning. The beer, by the way, is delicious: much more flavourful than you'd expect for a 4.2% "session beer," and very, very thirst quenching.
The origins of the Pilsner style date back to the 1838 when the citizens of Plzen, Czechoslovakia dumped out a bunch of beer barrels to protest the poor quality of their local beer. The town council responded by opening the Citizens' Brewery and hiring a Bavarian brewmaster. The resulting Pilsner beer, which merged German brewing techniques with lightly roasted malts and spicy Czech hops, was a huge success, and its popularity continues to this day—it is the world's most-produced beer style, albeit in much-watered-down versions. Authentic Pilsners, like these two new versions from Nelson Brewing and Fernie Brewing, are light-bodied but still very flavourful, and ideal summer sippers.
Cannery Brewing is located in one of the most beautiful parts of British Columbia, the small city of Penticton which is situated between Okanagan Lake to the north and Skaha Lake to the south. With summer temperatures often reaching into the high 30s (near 100 Fahrenheit), locals and visitors alike spend a lot of time in the water. One popular activity is leaping off the Skaha Bluffs into the cooling waters below, as depicted on the label of Cannery's new summer ale. The beer is a great choice for enjoying in the sunshine—smooth and easy drinking with a little burst of citrusy hops.
Four Winds Brewing recently celebrated its first birthday, but this Delta brewery is already winning raves from BC beer lovers, as well as awards: Four Winds won a silver medal at the prestigious World Beer Cup earlier this year for its Juxtapose Brett IPA, one of only two BC breweries (along with Steamworks) to win medals. Four Winds' line-up is solid across the board, and its latest seasonal release, Phaedra Belgian Rye IPA, is another extra special brew. I first tasted it as one of the judges at the Okanagan Fest-of-Ale back in April where we picked it for Best in Show, and I've been waiting impatiently ever since for it to come out in bottles. Full-bodied with a melon-citrus backbone, it is absolutely delicious. Get some before it disappears.
Have a great summer!

Jets prepared to begin furloughs
Published February 21, 2011, Page 6
The Jets have roughly 158 employees, 96 on the business side and the remainder on the football side. A benefit of furloughing, Higgins added, is that the employees can file for unemployment benefits while keeping their jobs.
If no games are lost to a work stoppage, Higgins said, Jets owner Woody Johnson is committed to reimbursing the employees for their lost income. "Our plan is predicated on shared sacrifice," Higgins said. "Our goal is to emerge with the staff intact, and this is the way to do that."
Teams have to worry about more than just trying to save costs now. They also need to be prepared to hit the ground running when a new labor deal is signed, so furloughing may become a more appealing option.
The league in the last several months polled teams on their plans, team sources said, asking them to check off on a questionnaire if they planned furloughs, layoffs, salary reductions or other moves in the event of a lockout. Teams contacted by SportsBusiness Journal have talked about all of these options as possibilities, though some are waiting until after the draft in late April to execute the plans.
The CBA expires at the end of the day March 3, and there seemed to be little hope as of the middle of last week of a deal being reached before the deadline.
The Jets recently let go 30 sales staff members, but that cut was tied to the completion of the team's first year in New Meadowlands Stadium, Higgins said. Had the Jets made the Super Bowl, Higgins added, the team had planned on bringing those employees to the Super Bowl as a parting gift.

BeschreibungWhen you hear the words Hammer Films, you instantly conjure up mental images of monsters and vampires. Behind the scenes was one man working flat out to produce those wonderful creatures. That man was Roy Ashton, and it was he who created all of the make-up effects for mummies, werewolves and Gothic horrors. Greasepaint and Gore takes a look into the props wardrobe and make up unit where Ashton, long before computer technology existed, created his own high standards of magical illusions. With an introduction from the late Peter Cushing OBE, who had the opportunity to watch Roy Ashton at work countless times (after all make-up can also make you look glamorous as well as horrific), this is a demonstration of a true professional at work. Greasepaint and Gore catalogues the largest single collection of Hammer production artefacts in existence, and is a must have for any horror or indeed any film fan!

I was rewatching some stuff and this guy is just very very good. On that pass to Jordy Nelson on the last drive....Fewell was aggressive with the blitz and had man to man coverage (like most fans wanted)and Rodgers just threw an accurate dart near the sideline. When u watch Rodgers...he can throw with accuracy on the move as well. Most QBs cant do that...even formerly number 1 picks like Eli Manning. Its just amazing some of the throws he makes....give the defense some credit for completely shutting down their run, getting a nice pick, and providing a pass rush that gave us a fighting chance.
I dont agree with most of you. Fewell mixed up different looks to confuse Rodgers. Most of you would of been angry if Rodgers completed that pass with 8 guys in coverage...we lost playing the man coverage that 90% of the board wanted...we just gotta live with it and move along.

Ripoff Report
Sanchez Auto Part's3306 E. Jefferson Grand Prairie, Texas USA
Sanchez Auto Part's took my money and did not deliver my car part Grand Prairie Texas
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
On 8/18/2014 I called the shop to request a rim for my Nissan 350z. The man on the other line, most likely the owner, said that he had it available and that I can come by the shop to get it. When I got there, he said he did not have it and would have to order it . Since I needed it badly, I went ahead and forked over the 200 dollars cash. The owner also stated that he would deliver the part to my house the next day.
So a day went by and I noticed that nothing came in and I called the shop to check on the status of my order. Oddly, a man picked up (it was the voice of the owner) and said that there was no power in the shop and that nobody was able to work and things got delayed...and that he will check on the status of my part...
two days passed and I called again. Exactly the same man picked up and he gave me the same run around...he said that he will contact the owner and that he will get back with me.
3 days have passed and nothing happened.
Finally I was fed up with the runaround and i called the owner and decided to come to the store on Friday 8/22 to demand my money back.
When I arrived at the store, I had confronted the owner about the status of my part and demanded my money back. The owner refused and things got heated.
After I realize that this I wasn't going to get my money back, I decided to file a report with the city of Grand Prairie Police department.
A few hours after I have called the Grand Prairie police department, I was contacted by Officer Brown regarding my report. I was shock when he told me that this business have received numerous complaint over the years, but the City of Grand Prairie has done nothing to shut down this business!!

The amount of electricity people use to power gadgets such as cordless phones and electric toothbrushes is expected to double in the next five years because of a huge demand for new items, according to a study.
The Energy Saving Trust predicts British consumers will buy more than 30m electrical and electronic items over the next six months, as they increasingly regard electric toothbrushes, cordless phones, juicers and breadmakers as essential for their homes.
The trust is calling for gadgets to carry labels warning shoppers how much they will cost to run. It says that labelling might persuade shoppers either to buy fewer or to choose more energy-efficient models. The research revealed that two-thirds of people planning to buy a cordless phone said it was essential. Half those intending to buy an electric toothbrush said the same. A quarter of those planning to purchase juicers and coffee machines also regarded them as essential.
Philip Sellwood, chief executive of the trust, said: "Some electrical items will be replacements but when you look at the trend it is clear that householders are increasingly adding new electrical gadgets to their homes. And we're very surprised by what people now claim are essential products."
Separate research by Mintel claims that consumer electronics manufacturers keep the market moving by changing the appearance of certain electronic products such as televisions every few years, encouraging consumers to feel that their equipment is out of date.

Erythropoietin (EPO), originally identified as a hematopoietic growth factor produced in the kidney and fetal liver, is also endogenously expressed in the central nervous system (CNS). EPO in the CNS, mainly produced in astrocytes, is induced under hypoxic conditions in a hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-dependent manner and plays a dominant role in neuroprotection and neurogenesis. We investigated the effect of general anesthetics on EPO expression in the mouse brain and primary cultured astrocytes.
BALB/c mice were exposed to 10% oxygen with isoflurane at various concentrations (0.10–1.0%). Expression of EPO mRNA in the brain was studied, and the effects of sevoflurane, halothane, nitrous oxide, pentobarbital, ketamine, and propofol were investigated. In addition, expression of HIF-2a protein was studied by immunoblotting. Hypoxia-induced EPO mRNA expression in the brain was significantly suppressed by isoflurane in a concentration-dependent manner. A similar effect was confirmed for all other general anesthetics. Hypoxia-inducible expression of HIF-2a protein was also significantly suppressed with isoflurane. In the experiments using primary cultured astrocytes, isoflurane, pentobarbital, and ketamine suppressed hypoxia-inducible expression of HIF-2a protein and EPO mRNA.
Taken together, our results indicate that general anesthetics suppress activation of HIF-2 and inhibit hypoxia-induced EPO upregulation in the mouse brain through a direct effect on astrocytes.

Perfect place for sta in a Paris with typical feeligs of Paris. Very cute accomodation. I recomend for someon who will feel the Paris.
We had a comfortable stay, close to metro and other facilities. Clean room, very kind host! We certainly come back here when we are in Paris.
Definitely a enjoyable place to stay. All amenities are equipped and the metro is just steps away. Will gladly recommend it to anyone else.
The little house is very nice: clean, with everything you need (also with books), near shops, metrostation, etc. But the most important: Anne and Jean are very polite, friendly, attend people. I am sure i will come back again!
Very cute indeed! It's a nice and quiet place at a great location.
Close to metro. Anne et Jean-Charles are very friendly hosts.
Staying in this house made our visit to Paris very comfortable.
We had a wonderful stay here. The people are very welcoming and helpful, and the house was warm and cosy. The neighbourhood is cool and there are food shops, cafes and restaurants near by. The metro station is less than 5 minutes walk away and takes you into the centre or up to Montmartre quickly. Recommended!
We has a wonderful stay at Anne's place . She was a wonderful host and was very thoughtful all the time, her husband is a great guy too.
The mansionette is super close to the train station , and it took us 30 minutes max to get to almost any Paris attraction . It is also located near a lot of Asian restaurants , so if you like this type of food , you will spend a lot of time around the neighborhood . The neighborhood is vibrant , but the house is inside a very quiet building . All was great .
Anne and Jean-Charles were very friendly and helpfull. They provided us with good info on local highlights and delicious croissants! The 'Cute Little House' on a courtyard is an oasis of peacefulness in a hectic Paris. The house is well equipped, and the Steinway piano is available for musical aspirations! We'd love to come again in the near future.
Nice, spacious and quite "little house" as Jean-Charles calls it.
Anne and Jean-Charles are very communicative, informative and friendly. Jean-Charles gave us a list of markets in the area and recommended the best transportation to use.
We spent 7 joyful days in the little house.

Joe Carnahan No Longer Has A Death Wish
By Dr. Know on February 22nd, 2013
Director Joe Carnahan no longer has a Death Wish; seems Carnahan and Paramount-MGM were non-sympatico on the creative direction of the remake, so Carnahan has taken his ball and will go play elsewhere.
Word is the main issue was over casting. The studios apparently want Bruce Willis in the lead, but Carnahan had other ideas.
And so it goes, the hunt is on for a new director…and probably a new script since Carnahan was also penning this remake.
The development hell bus goes round and round round and round! The development hell bus goes round and round round and round all day long!
No confirmation if the Brucester is actually in the movie, or if he's even in any kind of talks, however.
How close or far this new version is to Brian Garfield's book, or the movie Charles Bronson starred in remains to be seen still.
Released in 1974, the original Death Wish starred Bronson as Paul Kersey, a New York City architect who becomes a one-man vigilante squad after his wife is murdered and daughter is raped by street punks. Burning red with rage, he randomly goes out and kills would-be muggers on the mean streets after dark in the hopes of nailing the thugs who ruined his life.

Is it ok to use human eye drops on my dog, white mucousy discharge, no smell, no swelling, no redness?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
I wouldn't recommend it. If it's out of the ordinary, I'd take him to the vet. Eye problems are serious business.
That said, my dogs get that sort of discharge and always have. Not quite as much as they used to.

It IS ok to use SOME human eye drops on your dogs. BUT I would not do so without first talking to your vet. You never know why your dogs eye is like that and using eye drops may not help.
Hurricane Jack answered on 6/26/10. Helpful? / 0
Many dogs will have a discharge coming from their eyes, it is usually allergies. Hector's use to literally drip from his eyes. We quit smoking and it miraculously stopped. So smoke and other household irritants can cause a dog to have discharge. Kind of like we do. The best way to treat this, is to wash your dogs eyes with a super gentle cool rag, being very careful not to touch your dogs eyeball as even the softest fabric is harsh on eyes. You will have to repeat it several times throughout the day. Just keep the cloth you are using close by, put some cool water on it and dab out the gook. Most dogs like this and will be still to allow you to do it. Eye drops is another thing though. Not many will easily allow you to drop something in their eyes. The cool water cloth works just as well.
If you suspect there is more going on than just some irritants, then your vet can give you an antibiotic or even an eyewash.
Good luck
Hector answered on 6/26/10. Helpful? / 1
You can give Visine for red, irritated eyes. The white mucousy discharge suggests an infection. It should see a vet, maybe even the emergency vet tonight. Certainly if it continues to Monday.
Aster answered on 6/26/10. Helpful? / 0
Nope, not safe.
Dog eyes and human eyes are different. A simple saline wash might be ok, but if the dog has any kind of injury to the eye (which cannot be seen with the naked eye and needs a vet's diagnosis) even that can cause swelling or enough irritation to blind a dog in certain circumstances.
So, no. Don't use over the counter human drops. Go to the vet and have them check out the eyes for any kind of scratches or injuries and infection and get the proper drops that are needed for his particular condition.
Good luck!

Date of Stay: September, 2006
Beautiful park with great trout fishing. I found that the park needs to be cleaner. The campground needs to add sewer some full hook-ups would be a plus. Would return for a short stay to fish for the Rainbow Trout.
Date of Stay: September, 2006
What a great campground! This beautiful historic campground is in the Ozark Mountains with waterfront camping located on both the Table Rock Lake and the White River. I enjoyed the best fishing ever and my wife enjoyed shopping in Eureka Springs, Arkansas just 10 minutes away. Beaver campground has very clean newly remodeled showers and restrooms. We camp on a shaded large site next to the old 1800's railroad trestle and parked our canoe next to our trailer. The managers are very helpful and live on the campground. We will be back and bring our ski boat.
Date of Stay: August, 2006
Friendly clean park. Lots of activities at the park. Way too many campers but it is Yellowstone. The Fire Ban was in effect but we did have a great stay. If we go back to Yellowstone we will stay there again.

Subaru WRX STI Returns for Grand-Am Continental Sports Car Challenge
Subaru has announced that Andrew Aquilante and Bret Spaude will return as factory team drivers for their entry in the Grand Sport (GS) class of the 2012 Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge. The first round of the series will take place at Daytona International Speedway on January 27th, 2012.
Subaru will be fielding a race-prepped 2012 four-door WRX STI, developed specifically to compete with all the other 400-hp vehicles in the class. Subaru Road Racing Team (SRRT) has been working on a technical progression for the number-35 STI during the off-season and appears to be optimistic heading into round one of the championship.
SRRT Principal Joe Aquilante noted, "We've enjoyed a very productive off-season, and our team is looking forward to getting back to the business of racing our Subaru WRX STI. Our drivers have been focusing on honing their physical fitness while our technical staff has been diligently progressing our car development plan. To say that we're excited for Daytona is an understatement."
Round one of the 2012 Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge starts January 27th at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, FL.

Blackberries were removed and replaced by native species as part of Bear Creek restoration.
Oregon Stewardship is leading the effort to restore Bear Creek in Medford by removing non-native blackberries and planting the riparian area with native plants. The above picture is a finished area of Bear Creek.
In Spring 2010, two South Medford High School students built bio-swales to catch run-off from the I-5 viaduct. In Fall 2010, blackberries were removed from a 100-yard area. Over 40 volunteers from the community and Southern Oregon University, Rogue Community College, and North Medford, South Medford, and St. Mary's High Schools planted nine species of native plants donated by Althouse Nursery and BLM.

The Key To Success Is Being Happy Way Before You've Actually Made It
People often say ignorance is bliss. If this is true, does it mean only ignorant people are happy?
Ernest Hemingway once contended:
Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.
He's suggesting that the capacity to think critically leads to discontentment within the mind. And research suggests overthinking or worrying a lot may be a sign of intelligence.
Perhaps it's true that people with analytical minds find it difficult to turn the switch off. They think as deeply about complex issues as they do about little ones, producing anxiety and unhappiness.
But the truth is, it doesn't have to be this way. There is significant evidence that we can train our minds to think positively. Happiness is a choice, or as Aristotle once stated:
Happiness depends upon ourselves.
Shawn Achor, the founder of Good Think, would agree wholeheartedly with this notion. For 12 years, Achor did extensive research on positive psychology at Harvard University. He found optimism and hope are the keys to fostering happiness.
But we can't generate these qualities overnight; it takes practice.
Life is stressful and unpredictable. We can't control reality, but we can choose how we react to it. Contrary to conventional wisdom, optimism is not totally dependent on environment and genetics.
Achor contends we can coach our brains into thinking positively by developing daily routines and habits.
There are multiple ways to do this, and it doesn't take a great deal of effort: Write a positive email to a friend or colleague; be nice to strangers and perform kind gestures arbitrarily; take two minutes to write in a journal about something positive that happened to you during the day; or simply take a few moments to meditate about several positive things that happened to you since you woke up.
Finally, don't forget to exercise. Take care of your body and mind.
Optimism is not about denying the fact there are negative aspects to this world; it's about taking the time to acknowledge all of the positive things around us. It takes a significant amount of intellect to do this, which one might refer to as positive intelligence.
Hence, powerful minds are not always predisposed to negativity, as Hemingway suggested.
It's much easier to focus on the bad, but with great effort comes even greater rewards.
Most of us assume success will bring about happiness, but it's really the other way around.
Achor also argues happiness is the key to a productive economy.
Research has shown happiness leads to greater levels of productivity, creativity and engagement in the workplace.
Accordingly, businesses and companies with happier employees see higher performance levels and greater profits.
Indeed, happiness leads to success.
If you want to change your life, change the way you look at the world.
Stop waiting for success to happen, and start seizing it now by remaining unapologetically optimistic.

Headline of the Week: In Time, On Demand and More Than a Little Binary: The Future of Collection Development in the Liberal Arts
Speaking honestly, one of the more perplexing challenges I see in the future is determining the role and composition of the liberal arts library collection. Jeffrey Trachtenberg of the Wall Street Journal writes in today's issue:
But the digital revolution sweeping the media world is rewriting the rules of the book industry, upending the established players which have dominated for decades. Electronic books are still in their infancy, comprising an estimated 3% to 5% of the market today. But they are fast accelerating the decline of physical books, forcing retailers, publishers, authors and agents to reinvent their business models or be painfully crippled.
"By the end of 2012, digital books will be 20% to 25% of unit sales, and that's on the conservative side," predicts Mike Shatzkin, chief executive of the Idea Logical Co., publishing consultants. "Add in another 25% of units sold online, and roughly half of all unit sales will be on the Internet."
Reflect on that statistic for a moment – in less than two years time, 20% to 25% of book sales will be digital. Today it is 3% to 5%. The game changers here are e-readers. Finally, we have compelling portable devices that make consuming an electronic book feasible if not enjoyable. Amazon's Kindle cracked the shell, though the price and narrow focus of the device kept it somewhat limited in the market. Smartphones have opened the crack slightly, though the smaller screen size again has served to govern wholesale adoption Along comes the multi-function tablet devices (the iPad is only the first of many) that now bring true multi-functionality to a device that can deliver an effective ebook experience. The shell is now broken wide open, and we won't be turning back.
Closer to home, this spring for the first time I have heard a steady stream of comments from students regarding their positive uses of ebooks in our collection. Comfort level is rising among both consumers and libraries for digital delivery. There are cautions in the transition that I see in my own use of ebooks. The tendency to keyword search and to dive tactically into a text for particularly sections is strong for me. I think this will make the challenge of writing long-form monographs greater for authors in the future. But that's not the only challenge ahead. Libraries, and particularly liberal arts college libraries have many:
- Access to Ebooks – While many may purchase devices capable of ebook delivery, not everyone will. How will we make these materials available to everyone?
- Digital Rights Management – Physical books come with a pretty easy rights management model – only one person can read it at a time. Electronic books obviously break this model. Libraries need to work with publishers to develop a reasonable system to manage use of ebooks in a library model.
- Publisher Business Models – Today's business models for publishers are built on marketing physical items to bookstores. They do not contemplate virtual items to consumers. This is a big disconnect and one that will involve a bloody and difficult transition. Libraries will be torn down two paths … the traditional monograph path where we buy one-off items, and the likely desire of publishers to market large tracts of ebooks as one entity for licensing (rental). Journal publishers went down this road first, and while many libraries were lured in by the large title lists these large packages included, we've since realized the majority of these titles are pretty useless in our collections. So while they large pre-packaged collections make it easy to build a collection, there is considerable question about how useful that collection is.
- Google – And of course, Google aims to deliver all the content we have digitally. We will need to learn how that business model will work and then ask tough questions about how important it is to keep physical copies of little-used books on shelves in libraries like Luther's.
I believe books will persevere and will remain a fundamental medium for information use and consumption. But their purpose will change. They may become more transitory (they are recyclable after all). They may become more specialized in what type of information is best delivered via print. Change is coming however, and sooner rather than later if the analysts are to be believed.
With the road bending ahead of us, we've begun to think about how we can position ourselves for the future. One area we'd like to push more into is on-demand collection development models that rely on our ability to quickly acquire needed materials instead of the in-case model where we buy materials and hope someday they'll be used. We actually do fairly well at that with about 75% of the items we buy circulating within five years of purchase. But that still leaves 25% of our items that are not used. In times of tight budgets that's a lot of resource remaining idle. By working to scale back on the just-in-case purchases, we can make our collections more useful and flexible to address where we'll be in the years ahead.
There is no formula to achieve this, just a philosophy and awareness of where the road may go. Collection-building has and always will be an art, not a science, and we are committed to collecting the best and most appropriate collection for Luther's academic program. While how we do that will certainly change significantly in the coming years, we hope to only improve the service and quality of resource we provide … in print as well as in bytes.

Notes from LIS Council
LIS Council is the leadership team within LIS. Among the topics discussed this past week were:
LIS User Profile: Ben Moore
Before returning to Luther after he graduated in 2002, Assistant Professor of Art Ben Moore attended the University of Iowa to get his Master of Fine Arts in Painting. Moore also taught at the University of Iowa and spent some time in Venice painting as well. In addition to his art background, he also has been a part of a small group the makes Java-based video games on the Internet called Random Thoughts. As an Assistant Professor, Moore teaches classes on painting, drawing and computer art as well as a course titled "Foundations of Art and Design."
Moore commented that he enjoys the use of the library as a whole as well as the lab in the Center for the Arts that he uses for teaching computer art. He encourages his students to use the library's collection of art books and magazines as well as the internet for inspiration and research on art forms and artists. Being able to check out projectors and sound systems for class and cameras for projects is another service Moore enjoys.
Library and Information Services (LIS) provides integrated library and information technology support to the Luther College community. The combined LIS organization was created in 1997 when the Library and the Computer Center administratively merged. Library and Information Services (LIS) maintains a number of public use facilities. Preus Library is the predominant facility, in addition to a number of computing facilities distributed across campus.

Internet Resource of the Week: openbook
Note: This week's site may or may not be SFW (suitable for work) … but that's sort of the point. Link through at your own risk … Much bellyaching has transpired regarding Facebook and their blossoming privacy settings which increasingly seek to open data to the Internet. There are good business reasons for Facebook to want to do this, and their are good privacy reasons why users of Facebook don't. Openbook is a site that serves as a search engine for content that people make available publicly via Facebook. The point of the site is to illustrate how thin privacy may be on the site, as well as how poor we are at protecting our privacy. The content returned are Facebook status updates, and you can't search by user, only terms. But results include names and photographs. Again, this site only contains information made public by these individuals (and it is visible to Google and other search engines).
Are you a Facebook user? If you haven't checked your privacy settings lately, it's not a bad idea to do so. Here's one of many guides to help you do so.

Quote(s) of the Week:
- "The days of you having a different image for your work friends or co-workers and for the other people you know are probably coming to an end pretty quickly… Having two identities for yourself is an example of a lack of integrity." – Mark Zuckerberg-
- "The best way to predict the future is to design it." – Buckminster Fuller
- "When you look at the variety of public schools that have worked well in the U.S. — in cities big and small, and in suburban and rural areas — you wonder why anyone thought it was a good idea to throw a stultifying blanket of standardization over the education of millions of kids of different aptitudes, interests and levels of maturity. The idea should always have been to develop a flexible system of public education that would allow all — or nearly all — children to thrive. One of the things Bard has shown is that kids from wildly different backgrounds — including large numbers of immigrant children — can thrive in an educational environment that is much more intellectually demanding than your typical high school." – A Very Bright Idea
- "Although today's academic library users may feel that browsing is an ancient scholarly right, the practice is in fact no older than the baby-boomer faculty who so often lead the charge to keep books on campus. Prior to the Second World War, the typical academic library was neither designed nor managed to support the browsing of collections. At best, faculty might be allowed to browse, but it was the rare academic library that allowed undergraduates into the stacks. To this day academic-library special collections—real treasure troves for scholars in the letters and humanitie—remain entirely closed to browsing." – The Myth of Browsing
- "Experience is not what happens to you; it's what you do with what happens to you." – Aldous Huxley
Image of the Week: UK Survey proves "death of email" premature
As one might expect, the data in the report (collected and processed by Nielson) shows a 65 percent increase since 2007 in the average amount of time each participant spent online.
Social networking and blogs were the fastest-growing sector. … On average participants spent 13.5 minutes out of every hour on blogs and social networks.

While the U.S. men's national team will be trying to avoid falling further behind Jamaica in Group A on Tuesday, 10 other CONCACAF teams will be looking to improve their chances of reaching the Hexagonal round of qualiyfing in what are sure to be intense and intriguing matches.
Costa Rica are a team in need of three points after having lost at home to Mexico in the last set of games. But they have a daunting task ahead of them, as they head into Estadio Azteca to take on El Tri in a pivotal Group B match-up that could see Mexico become the first team to punch their ticket to the Hex.
Panama are another team that could use a win so as to avoid possibly falling into third place in Group C. The Panamanians will host Canada, who beat them on Friday at BMO Field courtesy of a Dwayne De Rosario goal, and a revenge win would put them back in the top spot in the group.
Here is a full rundown of Tuesday's CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers:
Group A
Antigua and Barbuda vs. Guatemala
United States vs. Jamaica
Group B
Guyana vs. El Salvador
Mexico vs. Costa Rica
Group C
Panama vs. Canada
Honduras vs. Cuba
Which matches are you most looking forward to? Do you see Mexico clinching their spot in the Hex, or will Costa Rica bounce back with an upset win? How do you see Canada doing in Panama?
Share your thoughts below.
What are our odds here, fellas? I didn't see the first game in Kingston because, well, it was nearly impossible to find. What are our odds in Columbus?
Odds are decent but far from a sure thing. We badly miss Bradley in midfield and Jamaica has improved. I watched the game Friday and, at times, Jamaica was passing the ball around us
Depends on our lineup. I lost a lot of faith in JK as a coach with his starting lineup of 3 DMs the other night who just sit in front of the back 4 trying to break up plays and then giving the ball away once they got it. We were always going to have no width and little opportunity to create anything going forward with those three midfielders on the field at the same time. I don't know if I was more discouraged at seeing the lineup or more discouraged at the idea that JK was surprised at the lack of quick intelligent ball movement in our midfield after the game.
All of that said, I think we get a W tomorrow night. But if we are not in the lead and the clock ticks past about the 70th minute, I am going to full on panic.
Good thing second place advances just the same as first. With every team having to play every other team home and away, there is no advantage to finishing top of the group from what I can tell?
Big Chil
Jamaica will no doubt bunker for the draw, which would be a fantastic result for them. 8 pts keeps them at the top of the table and 11 would see them through.

Review by:
Marcia Carrington
on April 14, 2012 :
Introspective short story where the narrative's central relationship is intimately portrayed, sometimes with an uncomfortably realistic level of emotional detail which makes the reader believe they are watching a true story unfold, and that they are intruding on the events.

This is sad, tender and sweet, but I couldn't help but feel that it's a prelude to a story rather than a story in itself. The reader is given a mere glimpse into James's life and then shut out. There's potential for much more here. I think the real story would be James moving on from his loss and learning to live again.

Benchview vs. Developers facing off in hearing on July 19
City approved lot boundary adjustment which led to lawsuit
The protests that arose around efforts to build three houses in the "Benchview" neighborhood in the Admiral area, at the corner of 55th S.W. and S.W. Manning Streets, led to a lawsuit filed by neighbors attempting to stop the project, or at least modify it. A hearing on the matter will happen this Friday in King County Superior Court. The Benchview Neighborhood Association (BNA) state in their opening brief that they don't oppose redevelopment of the property, they just want to "ensure that the development is consistent with the existing pattern."
The lawsuit followed the City of Seattle's decision to allow the Lot Boundary Adjustment that the developers sought.
Benchview Blockwatch Captain Dave Allen said, "This has been an extensive, months-long, costly effort for our neighborhood. If we prevail, it will have taken many resources to simply get the developer to follow the same basic zoning rules everyone else in the neighborhood must follow.
"If we win the court case, we hope the City will not appeal. It would be very disappointing to have our Seattle tax dollars used to try to overturn a King Co. Superior Court decision which protects Seattle residents, property and neighborhood integrity."
Essentially the developers are using existing zoning laws to put a larger house on a lot than has been traditionally done. They seek to have three homes on a lot previously holding two. David Allen provided clarification, " This (double) lot only had 1 house for 60 yrs. The developer is trying to squeeze 3 houses where the basic zoning rules say you can only fit 2. (Thats where the loopholes and manipulation of the code comes in)
The 2nd of the 3 houses started construction in 2013; the 3rd house has not started."
Using what might be called creative license they sought to adjust the conventional boundaries for home construction to squeeze more dollars out of the same amount of land.
The issues and facts around the case are somewhat convoluted and go back to the 1952 code when the original home on the lot was built.
Please see the actual court documents for a complete explanation:
