Bran Hambric doesn't know a thing about himself. He was found at age 6 locked in a bank vault in the town of Dunce. He has no memory of anything before being discovered in the vault. He's being raised by the Wilomas family, only because Mr. Wilomas worked at the bank and is forced to obey the "Finders Keepers Law." If you find it, you have to keep it, even if "it" is a kid.
In Dunce, magic is outlawed. When Bran is confronted by a gangly creature that actually knows his name, he knows something is up – something about his past. Something that has to do with magic. Clues lead Bran to a magical library, a mysterious girl, a bank employee that is much more than she seems and a gnome. Yeah, a gnome: short guy, long beard, tall red hat shaped like a cone. Together the new friends set out to uncover Bran's past and confront the Farfield curse.
An orphan kid living in a house where the family treats him badly. The kid finds out he's magic. A bad guy wants the kid dead. Oh, and there's a curse involving the kid. Sound familiar? I know it does. There are an awful lot of Harry Potter similarities…but even so, Bran Hambric is a fun story anyway. I would call it fan fiction. Fan fiction is fiction created by the admirer of a certain story or that story's characters. Kaleb didn't plagiarize, he just took some ideas and built his own story around them. There are enough original ideas to keep the story interesting. AND, he's a teenage author – not too shabby. He says that there are more Bran Hambric stories coming. It will be fun to see where he goes with Bran's story and how his writing matures. Author: Kaleb Nation

Microchipping pets was only invented in 1985 and when Ralph was adopted as a kitten from the ARL in 1998, we were already microchipping ALL cats, dogs, and rabbits before they were adopted, so Ralph received a microchip that day.
Ralph was a gift from Santa for 8 year-old Jill. Jill and her brother Adam loved Ralph for 3 years...but then as cats sometimes do, he got out one day, and despite searching everywhere, they never saw him again.
A lot changed in their family over the years that followed, so a week ago when they received a call, they had all but forgotten about Ralph...
Officer Bill with Polk County Animal Control had picked up a stray cat - and as they do with all of their strays, he brought it to the ARL to be held until it was reclaimed. Since this cat had a microchip, we called the owner...bad number. So we sent a letter to the address on file letting them know we had their cat and they had 1 week to come reclaim (per Polk County ordinance). But that address was no longer a home, it was a business.
Fortunately someone at the business opened the letter and had the contact information for the former owner of the house and called them to let them know the ARL had their cat.
They were confused because they didn't have a cat - hadn't had one for 14 years - but they went to the ARL anyway to see what this was all about.
As you have probably already guessed, the cat they saw in the kennel looking back at them was RALPH! They couldn't believe it - WE couldn't believe it! And they weren't there a moment too soon - this was the last day we were holding him as a stray, after that he would be available for adoption for another family.
Ralph was now 17 years old and when he arrived at the ARL he was sick and needed our help. We treated him with fluids and antibiotics, and tried everything we could to encourage him to eat.
Because it had taken so long for them to get the call that we had their cat, the fees had been building each day and they owed $125 in fees from the ARL (cost of boarding/care) and $35 in fees from Polk County (cost of pick-up). But this is where things get even better...
Thanks to a grant we had applied for (and received), we were able to reduce our fees to just $40 for the week he was with us (since they couldn't afford the full amount). Officer Bill with Polk County Animal Control happened to be there when they were reclaiming Ralph and since the county's fees cannot be reduced (per ordinance), Officer Bill PERSONALLY paid the $35 fees from Polk County!
Rita (mom) picked up Ralph and took him immediately to their vet (pictured: right). It's been several days now and we just heard that he's doing better and is starting to eat - but that she's still syringe feeding him supplements every 2 hours as directed by their vet until he's healthy again.
Jill is now 22 and has a family of her own. Tragically, in 2009 Adam was killed in a motorcycle accident so this photo (left) is a special memory for the family.
Ralph had likely been picked up by someone with good intentions 14 years ago, who kept him as their own. Sadly, had they just had him scanned for a microchip, they would have found he had a family already. This story is a great example of the power of microchips and the importance of notifying the appropriate agencies when you find a lost pet.
Here's to many more years together for Ralph and his long-lost family!

Proc GLM is the preferred procedure for doing univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA), multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), and most types of regression.
Proc anova could also be used to do the analysis of variance when the design is balanced. The only advantage in using proc anova is that it uses less computational resources. Its use is recommended only for large projects in which experts have insured that the design is balanced.
The file pig.dat contains data on the birth weight of poland china pigs in 8 litters (from Scheffe). The layout of the file is the litter number followed by the birth weights for the litter. Note that there are unequal litter sizes. The underlying model is that each litter has some mean birth weight. The hypothesis to be tested is that these means are the same for all of the litters.
A data set called
pig is created which contains 2 variables
litter and
weight. The variable
litter contains the litter
number; each corresponding value of
weight contains the birth
weight of a piglet. The model is that
weight depends on
litter. The
question of interest is whether this dependence really exists. Note
litter is a qualitative variable here which serves only
to distinguish between (potentially) different populations.
A basic analysis using proc glm proceeds as follows.
proc glm
class litter;
model weight = litter;
class statement specifies that
litter is a
QUALITATIVE variable. All qualitative independent variables in
the model should be listed in the class statement. Independent
variables which appear in the model but not in the class
statement are treated as QUANTITATIVE variables in the model.
This allows proc glm to perform regression and analyze analysis
of covariance type models.
model statement specifies the dependent variable (
weight) and
independent variable (
The output of this procedure is a standard analysis of variance table. Two types of sums of squares are produced. In virtually all cases, it is the TYPE III sums of squares and their associated tests that are of interest.
A more in depth analysis is obtained as follows.
proc glm
class litter;
model weight=litter /solution e;
means litter /bon tukey scheffe alpha=0.10 ;
solution option of the model statement prints a solution to the
normal equations, i.e., the estimate of the parameter vector in the
general linear model.
e option of the model statement produces a print out which specifies
the general form of the estimable functions for the model. This is useful
for more advanced analysis using contrast and estimate
means statement produces pairwise comparisons of the means
by the method(s) specified in the following options statements. Note
that comparisons are only done for the main effects.
bon option of the means statement produces Bonferroni type
groupings of the means.
tukey option produces groupings of the means using Tukey's
method of multiple comparison.
scheffe option produces groupings of the means using Scheffe's
method of multiple comparison.
Actual confidence intervals (rather than just groupings by
similar means) produced by these methods can be obtained by
specifying the
clm option in the means statement.
alpha=0.10 option specifies that the multiple comparison methods
are to be done at the 90% confidence level. If not specified, the
value defaults to alpha=0.05 (95% level).
Further options can be found in the online help under SAS SYSTEM HELP--MODELING & ANALYSIS TOOLS--DATA ANALYSIS--(ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE) GLM or in the SAS/STAT User's Guide volume 2.

The Biggest Loser: Couples
'The Biggest Loser: Couples' trainers not fans of viewer voting twist
By Christopher Rocchio, 04/07/2008
Home viewers might be happy that they'll
play a role
in determining one of
The Biggest Loser
: Couples'
three finalists, however the same can't be said for the NBC reality weight-loss series' two fifth-season trainers.
"I was disappointed because
The Biggest Loser
not a popularity contest. It's about numbers," Jillian Michaels told reporters during a Friday conference call. "I was just disappointed."
The Biggest Loser
: Couples'
remaining four contestants
will all participate in the penultimate weigh-in, with the two that post the week's lowest weight-loss percentage being below the yellow line.
However instead of the two contestants above the yellow line voting to determine which contestant is eliminated, host Allison Sweeney will reveal that -- for the first time in
The Biggest Loser
history -- home viewer votes will determine the show's third finalist.
"I think that it's a really tricky thing because America hasn't seen everything that all these four contestants have gone through," said Bob Harper. "I'm kind of uncomfortable about it because they don't have all the information. I think we all talk about needing information, and it's just if they get all what they've seen on the show, it's just still so much more than that."
The Biggest Loser
executive producer Mark Koops disagreed with Michaels' description of the home viewer vote as a popularity contest.
"This isn't -- in my opinion -- turning it into a popularity contest," said Koops. "We're laying out there -- as you'll see in the final show before the finale towards the end -- we're laying out the facts to the audience, the incredible journeys that the two people bellow the yellow line have been on. So we're laying it out there. I think from that routine it will be enough to make an informed decision, and I think equally there's not one of them that does not deserve to be in the final three."
Koops said producers are simply taking the final four -- Alison Vincent, Kelly Fields, Mark Kruger, and Roger Schultz -- and allowing viewers to be the ones to decide which personally inspires them.
"I think that's what this show is about. It is about inspiring not only themselves, but the public," said Koops. "Just because they had one bad week out 15, should that be the reason they go home? Because they're the biggest threat? Or should they go home because they haven't been as inspirational?... One bad week shouldn't necessarily determine your fate. So what better way than letting the people who have been watching the show -- who have been on that rollercoaster with them -- say, 'I want Ali, Kelly, Mark, [or] Roger -- they deserve that final spot in the finals.'"
However Michaels added she also wasn't pleased that the four finalists had no idea about the twist until it was revealed to them at the penultimate weigh-in, which will air during Tuesday night's broadcast.
"They didn't [know this twist], which is also disappointing because they're playing this game based on a set of rules that they didn't even know," she explained. "Maybe if they had known that, they might have played the game differently, they might have done different things, they might have used different strategies, they might have behaved differently. So for that reason I also didn't think it was fair. I don't get it, personally."
Michaels said the trainers were also unaware of the twist during the season -- so making it even "more disappointing" about the vote is that she and Harper were unable to use that knowledge as "strategy" to potentially help deliver
The Biggest Loser
first ever female winner.
"Women need to use that strategy, and they've played under that pretense and then it's taken away from them without knowledge and that's why it's -- for me -- discouraging," she said.
Immediately following the conclusion of Tuesday's penultimate episode broadcast at 10PM ET, home viewers will have a 48-hour window to vote via NBC's website for one of the two contestants below the yellow line.
"With the America votes, I think after 15 weeks -- four weeks away from home -- you'd probably tell your fans to tune in because the results are incredible. It's an incredible story," said Koops. "I think the two people who fall below the yellow line, it will shock and surprise everybody and [they'll] get their chance to tell America why they deserve to make it... It's incredibly powerful and speaks to the effort they put in and gives them the chance to not be sent home because they were the biggest threat or may be the biggest threat. It gives viewers the chance to really make a positive decision as opposed to a negative decision."
The contestant who receives the most home viewer votes will then be revealed during the first five minutes of
The Biggest Loser
: Couples'
live finale broadcast on Tuesday, April 15 at 8PM ET/PT.
After the identity of the third finalist is revealed, all three finalists will participate in one last weigh-in and the finalist who posts the highest weight-loss percentage since the start of the competition will claim the show's $250,000 grand prize.
Koops said the decision to have a viewer vote was partially born out of
The Biggest Loser
fourth season when Neil Tejwani was
eliminated on the cusp of the finals
because he was seen as the biggest threat.
"At the end of last cycle, did Neil deserve to go home in that final vote given the success he had, given the fact that he set records, given the fact that he considerably out-performed the
three female finalists
," asked Koops, who added that producers see the way viewers "passionately" watch the show and thus decided to give them a say.
"Let them have a place in the argument," he said. "I hear Bob and Jillian's concerns, but I have nothing but faith and belief that in the end, America will choose the man or woman who is most deserving, and I think it's going to make for spectacular TV [on Tuesday] and then a great reveal in the first five minutes of the finale."
In addition, Koops said the twist wasn't conceived during filming for the fifth season and was something that has been planned all along.
"We definitely did go in with a very clear direction. We knew we were going to do America's vote right from the start of the season, regardless of who the final four was," he explained. "Obviously there are times when we will change creative or maybe make a decision based off where it's going. Generally the reality is better than anything we could come up with. There were definitely twists that were going to happen that we took out because we have such an incredible dynamic."
For example, Koops said when Mark
went home for the first time
that was a "moment we couldn't have constructed" despite the fact it apparently wasn't supposed to play out that way.
"There was going to be a twist at that point, which we decided not to play because the reality was so much stronger," said Koops.
Michaels, who
had previously cited
her unhappiness with the show's editing as her reason for originally departing after the show's second season, said that's the sole reason she watches
The Biggest Loser
episode broadcasts -- to see if the reality of what occurred matches up with what makes it on air.
"I do actually watch the show for that very reason -- because I need to see how it's being edited," she said. "With that said, I think honestly for the most part, [the viewers] are getting an accurate interpretation. There are a few things that I had some issues with this year with regards to me. Like when I
got upset this year defending
[Brittany Aberle], there were other things going on, which I didn't feel were portrayed clearly. It is what it is. I learned my lesson. With that said, I think for the most part this has been a more accurate season than any other. I'm actually grateful for that."
One thing Michaels isn't grateful of is
The Biggest Loser
strategic component, a fact that is well-known to viewers since she and Harper complain about it in various episodes. Michaels said it's "really hard" to balance
The Biggest Loser
strategic elements with her desire to simply get the contestants living a healthy lifestyle.
"I absolutely hate the game component, and I think that's why when they
the [fifth-season couples] up, I was so upset," she explained. "I don't want to be a part of strategizing. I don't want to be a part of any of that. I want them to do all that and I just want to get them all healthy and go home."
However once Michaels found herself training what she described as a team of "underdogs" who were "getting picked off," she didn't really have any options when it came to succumbing to strategy.
"Then I have no choice. They're coming in saying, 'You've got to help us Jill! Help us! Help us stay here, we need to be here!'" she said. "Then you're invested beyond where you want to be... It's definitely hard. If I could do away with it I would."
Michaels also isn't a big fan of
The Biggest Loser
sometimes painfully obvious product placement, although Koops said it is something that cannot be avoided.
"It is -- no pun intended -- part of the reality of where television has been moving to in the 21st century," he said. "I think there's always room for improvement. But at the same time, we also make sure the partners we pick -- who are also out there helping promote the show and promote a healthy and active lifestyle -- we're on the same message with them."
Koops described it as a "selective process" as to which sponsors are used and said both the trainers and contestants must "feel comfortable" if asked to pitch a product.
"It's all just part of trying to provide information to the viewer and from that they can make their own decision," said Koops. "The long and short of it is obviously you're often driven by the network in collaborating with who the sponsors are. I don't think I've ever sat down and told the contestants absolutely they have to do anything."
While that may be true, Michaels wanted to make it clear she and Harper aren't paid spokespeople.
"Bob and I do not get paid for the [product] integration. I don't want people to think that we are taking money for them," she said. "The reason we participate in them is because it's been explained to us that they finance the show. Without the integrations, there probably would be no
The Biggest Loser
. It comes back to the greater good."
Michaels gave the example of how she was hesitant when she learned Ziploc was a sponsor since she doesn't microwave food in plastic bags. While she told the producers, "I'm not doing it," they had her meet with a Ziploc executive who explained that using the product doesn't affect the food.
"They constantly are taking into account our concerns. If it's really something we don't like, I don't have to do it," said Michaels. "If it's something that's totally egregious, we won't do it. They won't be sponsors of the show. We do it to keep the show on the air. The show is also so much positives, nothing is 100% perfect in this world. You've got to have trade-offs."

Verizon unveiled this week a curious package aimed at small and midsize businesses, combining its own Internet, voice, and/or TV services with Google Apps. At first blush, the deal might look appealing, particularly with the repeated use of the word "free" in the advertising. But if you crunch the numbers and carefully consider just what this bundle contains -- that is, Google Voice to replace a standard voice service -- the bundle might not seem quite so joyful.
Here's what Verizon is offering: If your organization subscribes to one of the company's Internet plans, along with either a voice plan or a TV plan, you get Google Apps at a modest discount. Presumably, Verizon wants purchasers of this bundle to ignore the fact that broadband service plus Google Apps can render phone service unnecessary because Google Apps includes Google Voice, through which users can make free VoIP calls.
Let's get to the numbers: Verizon's aforementioned bundle of Internet, voice services, and Google Apps starts at $64.99 per month (at least in the 95608 ZIP code I tested). With it, you get three free accounts for Google Apps. Additional Google Apps user accounts cost about $3.99 per month per user. At that price, the voice service includes a single phone line with unlimited nationwide calling. (This bundle also includes a free domain name for a year and a six-month trial usage of Verizon's website services, but that's not worth factoring in.) If your organization has 25 users, you're paying roughly $158 per month, or $1,893 per year.
On the other hand, your organization could subscribe to Verizon's high-speed Internet, which starts at $24.99 per month. You could then go directly to Google for Google Apps, which costs around $50 per year per user ($2 more annually per user that Verizon's Google Apps package). The important point is Google Apps includes Google Voice, a free VoIP alternative to regular phone service. Using that approach, your 25-person organization would pay around $129 per month or $1,548 per year, saving you about $345.
The above scenarios don't include the extras you might be swayed to purchase with your voice package, such as call forwarding or voicemail. Those features are included in Google Voice.
As noted, an organization could opt for TV service instead of voice service to take advantage of the bundle, but it's tough to imagine many scenarios where a business would want to shell out extra cash to cable, particularly when so much television content is available via the Internet.
Saying Verizon's bundle is an intentional dupe of its small-business customers probably isn't fair, and there might be scenarios when paying for the bundle is worthwhile -- say, for midsize organizations with a couple hundred users. But it's a safe bet that Verizon would prefer its customers remain blissfully ignorant of the fact that shelling out for both voice service and Google Voice can be a redundant waste of cash.

To Top Gear fans, he's the professional test car driver that no celebs can beat but The Stig's real identity has always been kept a secret... until now.
Lots of British newspapers reckon they know the man behind the mask, although some of them can't agree whether The Stig is played by one man or four!
We don't want to spoil the mystery, so we won't give away any names here.
But we can tell you the most popular rumour is that The Stig is a former racing driver and James Bond stuntman.
Should the Stig's real identity stay a secret?

And that's not really surprising as they want to protect the mystery for the programme's millions of fans.
The original Stig was a British racing car driver called Perry McCarthy, but he was axed after revealing his Top Gear secret in a book about his life in 2002.

PST Repair Tool to Fix Outlook Corruption when Scanpst.exe fails
Outlook PST repair software has been updated and provides complete solution to fix Outlook PST file corruption when scanpst.exe fails.
One major draw back associated with scanpst.exe is that users often complained about data loss situation. Since the inbox repair tool deletes the data it is unable to read or follow. Eventually, it can lead to loss of important data. This is the reason why it is not always reliable to use scanpst.exe. Instead Outlook PST repair furnishes a better option. The software has set new trends when it comes to repairing the PST files without any hassle. It is far more powerful and advanced tool as compared to scanpst.exe that uses advanced scanning algorithm to search for the damaged PST files and folders. One most incredible aspect of this software is that it is exceedingly easy to use the software even if you are a newbie.
No technical skills are required and this is what matters the most. The tool supports almost every Outlook versions including previous and latest versions. Users have the option to download both free trial as well as licensed version depending upon their requirement. Although the trial version can scan and analyze the PST files but, you need to switch to licensed version if you want to save the repaired PST files in the desired location.

Emergency tools are one of the "10 Basic Emergency Needs" that must be considered when preparing for any emergency or disaster. Very often, emergency and survival tools will be necessary to accomplish emergency tasks successfully and safely.
To select the right emergency tools for you, consider the types of emergencies that are common to your geography and the emergency scenarios they might create. Successful response will likely require emergency and survival tools to successfully carry out one or more of the following emergency activities:
The emergency tools you select should be:
A pair of emergency work gloves might be first on your list. Your ability to perform many manual tasks will be greatly enhanced by a pair of sturdy leather palm work gloves. Work gloves provide protection from injury and pain that can limit one's ability to complete tasks.
Next, you should consider each of the four types of emergency tools.
The goal in an evacuation is to "get out and away." In some cases one's exit from a house, apartment, or building may be blocked by jammed doors or fallen debris. This may be especially true in earthquakes, tornadoes, fires, hurricanes, etc. A pry tool such as the 4-in-1 Emergency Tool can pry open jammed doors and remove debris created by a catastrophic event.
Avoiding or limiting personal injury and property damage is one of the highest priorities in a disaster. Therefore, one of the most important types of tools to have is one that helps to protect you and your property by turning off utilities. In earthquakes, hurricanes ,tornadoes, and other disasters gas and water lines can be broken. This damage can threaten additional damage to property and may be life threatening.
Shutting off the natural gas in a disaster may help avert an explosion . The POGO (Pry Off, Gas Off) Pry Bar is a very effective emergency tool for turning off the gas at the meter.
Like the POGO (Pry Off, Gas Off) Pry bar, the 4-in-1 Emergency Tool can be used to turn off the gas, but it also turns off the water main and can help to stop flooding in the event that water lines break.
ll major disasters involve some type of search and rescue operations. Average citizens often end up working side-by-side with professional responders or to have to conduct these operations on their own in the absence of emergency response professionals.
In search and rescue operations, emergency tools that can be used to pry open doors, pry off fallen materials, and clear or break through debris may be essential to reaching and freeing a victim.
Emergency tools like the POGO (Pry Off, Gas Off) Pry Bar and the 4-in-1 Emergency Tool can be used for several prying and debris removal activities. A shovel can also prove very helpful in removing debris or digging under them to reach and release trapped victims.
The 6-in-1 Survival Shovel Emergency Tool is a good multifunction shovel for such functions. It can be an excellent companion emergency tool to either the POGO Pry Bar or the 4-In-1 Emergency Tool. This tool is compact, lightweight, durable and multifunctional. It includes a shovel, hatchet, saw, hammer, nail puller and even a can opener.
Finally, one should consider what tools might be needed should they have to live outdoors (or at least away from traditional shelter) for a period of time. Not everyone who is forced to leave their home ends up in a comfortable evacuation shelter within the first 24 hours of a disaster. Therefore, each emergency kit should have simple tools that might be used to "set up camp".
A tool that help one build or clear ground, set up shelter, cut or chop firewood, etc. might be very valuable in a scenario in which one must provide their own "survival living area" for even a day or two. Here again an emergency tool similar to the 6-in-1 Survival Shovel Emergency Tool would be very helpful.
One might also consider the need for basics like a knife, pliers, screwdrivers, can opener, etc. The need for such smaller, yet equally important tools, can often be met with a hand held multifunction tool such as this 14-in-1 Multifunction Emergency Tool. This is a basic for various needs around the "survival camp".
So, "what emergency tools do you need?" Well, each of us needs simple tools that can help us to:(1) evacuate safely(2) protect ourselves and our property(3) aid in search and rescue efforts(4) live in an outdoor survival situation.These tools should be:(1) lightweight(2) compact(3) multifunction(4) durable
Where do you start? Make sure to have a good pair of work gloves for every member of the family. Beyond that, consider what you can carry. It is usually not too difficult to have each family member carry at least one emergency tool. In a real disaster, you'll be thankful you have the proper emergency tools to help you be secure.

MAYOR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG CELEBRATES THE 100th ANNIVERSARY OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS IN GREATER NEW YORK
Mayor Proclaims March as "Red Cross Month" in New York City
Mayor Michael Bloomberg today celebrated the Centennial Anniversary of the American Red Cross in Greater New York (ARC/GNY) and presented Debra Dean, a disaster volunteer, with a proclamation marking March as "Red Cross Month." An exemplary volunteer and a native New Yorker, Ms. Dean began volunteering after September 11th and has since then become a permanent volunteer committed to the Red Cross and its mission. Joining the Mayor at the reception held this evening at Gracie Mansion were President of Ogilvy & Mathers New York and Chairman of the ARC/GNY Board of Trustees, William Gray, CEO of ARC/GNY, Theresa Bischoff and President & CEO of Wellchoice, Inc., Dr. Michael Stocker.
"Every time in the last 100 years that New Yorkers have been in serious or sudden need of help, the American Red Cross has been there," said Mayor Bloomberg. "As the premier organization in our community that responds to disasters, prepares people for emergencies, and helps rebuild lives after a crisis, it is my honor to thank the American Red Cross in Greater New York on its 100th Anniversary."
"On behalf of the thousands of volunteers and employees of the American Red Cross in Greater New York, I would like to thank Mayor Bloomberg for recognizing our organization and the important work it does," said Theresa Bischoff, CEO of the American Red Cross in Greater New York. "The role of the American Red Cross is vital to the millions of New Yorkers we help every year through our essential services."
"I want to commend our city partners with whom we work so closely every day -- the Office of Emergency Management, the Fire Department, the Police Department, the Department of Housing, Preservation and Development, and the Department of Health," said William Gray. "With our partner agencies, we respond to an average of eight fires and emergencies every day. We are proud to assist these agencies and to be a continuum of service."
As part of its yearlong centennial celebration, the American Red Cross in Greater New York (ARC/GNY) is marking the year with several special events in 2005 including ceremonies in the outerboroughs and Rockland, Sullivan, Putnam and Orange counties.
The American Red Cross helps people avoid, prepare for and respond to emergencies. The American Red Cross in Greater New York responds to an average of eight emergencies a day such as fires, water main breaks and building collapses.The organization also helps people to rebuild their lives after an emergency.

Arbitration meeting near to determine Shaler teacher salaries
The Shaler Area School District soon will have the final piece to complete the teachers union contract.
The binding arbitration meeting to determine teacher salary increases, the only outstanding negotiation issue, is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 13.
In September, the district negotiation team and representatives from the Shaler Area Education Association, the teachers union, reached a contract settlement on all issues but teacher salaries, which both sides agreed to settle through binding arbitration.
A three-member arbitration panel will evaluate each side's final offers.
The panel's decision will be non-negotiable.
Both sides agreed to obtain a list of arbitrators from the American Arbitration Association, and as a result of that process, the parties selected David Peterson from the submitted candidates, said Gary Mignogna, the district's director of human resources.
The district's negotiation team and the Shaler Area Education Association, which represents 390 teachers, will select the additional two arbitrators in the coming weeks.
The union and district officials approved a five-year contract, retroactive to August 2011 and through Aug. 15, 2016, at the beginning of the 2013-14 school year after two and a half years of unsuccessful negotiating that led to a strike beginning Sept. 3. The strike delayed school by more than one week.

After three albums and several minor releases, I'd got used to Revenge's style of blast-attack-raze (as in raze to the ground) style of black metal so it's a surprise to discover on this fourth album that the guys have actually raised their game to another, higher level. The band's sound is sharper than what I remember and the songs are now long enough to admit the occasional lead guitar solo which, in line with the Revenge take-no-prisoners musical philosophy, pullulates insanely shrill bubble chords as fast as bacteria on speed. The sound actually varies from lawn-mower drone to deep gravel chow-downs. There are strange throaty guttural effects a-plenty on most tracks that sound as if Read got himself a bunch of monster zombie hounds and locked them up in the studio while the band was recording so you hear them groaning and slavering away in the background. He's got reason to defend himself with such canine critters as this album expresses his and the band's general disgust with human "sheeple" weakness.
A dramatic intro with thudding bass drum and crashing riffs, beneath which James Read's voice growls indecipherable sweet-nothings, swings into "Us and Them (High Power)" which, having claimed out attention, rips into a careening zig-zag all over the shop with shrill guitar zips and bash-bash percussion. "Retaliation (Fallout Prayer)" follows immediately after and although it appears an extension of the first track, I can sort of hear a slightly different rhythm (or maybe my mind thinks, this is a new song so it must have a different rhythm!) and there are bits that go hollow and rattling which I've never heard before on any black metal album. (Are Revenge going experimental?) "Parasite Gallows (In Line)" can't wait to get started and finish at the same time so this is another wild tear through nuclear-powered drums, the filthiest, crust-laden guitar chainsaw churn, more lead guitar frothing up like cane toad spawn and deep croaky monster vocal effects. For weird, gravelly sonic texture and creepiness, very few songs can match "Parasite Gallows ..." and this is an early highlight if not the major highlight of the album.
Hardly any time for a breather each time a song ends as Revenge are already into the next one and halfway through it and before long we're close to the last couple of tracks. The singing, if we can call it that, is more deranged and hysterical with every additional track, with more screams and "aaaarghhhs!" The musicianship is surprisingly good when you consider the guys are playing faster than fast and chaotically, and the second half of the album improves on the first with more varied beats and a wide array of effects. "Banner Degradation (Exile or Death)" manages to pack in a slow, almost sludge stomping beat with an industrial edge in among the hyper-fast rhythms and riffing. By "Pride Ruination (Division Collapse)", we're just about ready for anything from Revenge that we haven't heard before and this track turns out to have a real rhythmic groove in parts. The drumming is stuttering hard and cymbals are all but completely berserk. "Scorned Detractor (Trust No One)" sees those half-crazed zombie hounds straining at the metal bars of their cage which increasingly comes close to breaking point while Read screeches himself ragged and the Revenge train races headlong towards the inevitable cliff-top where the sleepers end and below is just vast empty space.
For sheer energy and ferocity, few bands can match Revenge and few can also match the music not just for its aggression and anger but also humour. Read and Vermin really do sound as though they're enjoying every moment bashing out this opus.
Uh, well I was expecting the album to end in fiery and chaotic self-immolation but the conclusion is abrupt and it's me who's fallen off the cliff-top and going down, down, down into empty space while the fellers above are cheering me on!

Dave Pittman, director of the Arizona Builders Alliance in Tucson, says it's not a matter of if there'll be good economic news for Northwest Tucson.
It's when.
At a Friday forum on the economy arranged by the Northwest YMCA, Pittman pointed to "little signs of great news, particularly in the Northwest." He mentioned the University of Arizona's acquisition of the former sanofi-aventis research laboratory in Oro Valley's La Reserve, and the announced expansion of Sargent Controls in Marana, the latter with the help of tax incentives from town government.
"The Northwest side has a lot of good things to look forward to," he said.
And, deep down, everyone knows it's true. You don't have to shovel heat. You wake up on a glorious, freshly washed Tucson morning, and you have to be grateful to live in a place like this.
But this economic bottom, and in particular the housing bottom, is deep and wide, speakers agreed. Growth may still be years away. It's hinged upon jobs, and expanded population, to absorb the housing glut that would stabilize a vitally important sector and rekindle homebuilding.
If long-term discouragement is unwarranted, patience is needed.
When you sit through a presentation on the Ina / Oracle solution, as this writer did Thursday, a multi-pronged approach to traffic management makes perfectly good sense.
First, immediately, while Pima County spent a pile of money — $1.3 million — for the Shell station on Ina at Oracle, the decision to build dual ramps for westbound Ina travelers to turn north is clearly a good investment. In 40 years, and a billion or so smooth right turns later, no one will remember how much the real estate cost.
You may have read or heard of the "Michigan left," the traffic pattern that moves left-hand turners through an intersection so they can make a U-turn, then proceed.
Engineers on the Ina and Oracle project are calling it the "indirect left," and we all ought to remember it. That name is more descriptive.
Here's the trick about Ina and Oracle. Of the 96,000 (!!) vehicles a day moving through that busy crossroads, only about 4,000, or 5-ish percent, are trying to turn left onto Oracle. Yet they consume an inordinate amount of time in the intersection, and understandably so. Move them away, to new traffic lights on Ina hundreds of feet removed, and life will be smoother and faster for everyone else. Nice thinking. May it proceed, and may it be effective.
All but officially, Jerene Watson is the next town manager in Oro Valley.
The government veteran, who had been assistant town manager prior to becoming the interim boss in September, is likely to lose "interim" from her title at Wednesday's town council meeting.
You don't hear negative words, from inside or outside government, about Jerene Watson. She's competent and communicative, two highly sought qualities in a government leader. She's committed to the community. And, we suspect, once she's officially the town manager with the support of the town council, she'll take Oro Valley in new, strong directions.
The town council had been prepared to undertake a nationwide search for a new town manager. Why bother? You have someone from the inside, someone who knows how things work, who is respected and who is already serving well. As occurred in Marana, when Gilbert Davidson rose from an assistant's position into the lead job, Oro Valley is wise to promote from within.

We open with a claimer over a mile in which MASTER OF DANCE will take some beating if running up to anywhere near his rating with Lily Lily and Underworld Dandy looking to have place claims at best. The selection can even run a bit below par in this race and probably still win as he is easily the highest rating in the field. That also makes him best in at the weights and it's not as though he's out of form either having won a handicap at this track over seven furlongs two starts ago. Lily Lily has plenty to do based on the official ratings but has run well at Southwell the last twice. Her run behind Tiger Hawk two starts back as worked out well and she comes here off the back of a win in maiden company over this trip. Underworld Dandy is a former course and distance winner when taking a handicap off a mark of 60 in September. His form as been solid at best since so looks to have only minor prize claims. Indigo Ink is the only other with any realistic chance of going well off bottom weight but in a weak event Master Of Dance has a really strong chance.
Master Of Dance (IRE) 7-4fav (9-7) Held up in rear, ridden and headway over 1f out, one pace final furlong, 6th of 7, 3 1/2l behind Danger Mulally (8-6) at Kempton 1m 2yo hcp 0-85 (4) pol in Dec.

A lot of things have changed lately, and for the better I should say. Lots of luck has come my way, on- and offline. I love the idea of one minor detail changed changes one's whole perspective and it's well worth the trouble.

About Pastor Derwin
Derwin L. Gray is the founding and lead Pastor of Transformation Church (TC), a multiethnic, multigenerational, mission-shaped community in Indian Land, South Carolina, located just south of Charlotte, North Carolina. TC also has two campuses in South Carolina Correctional Institutions, Kershaw and Lee. For three out of the last five years, TC has been recognized by Outreach magazine as one of the top 100 fastest-growing churches in America.
Pastor Derwin met his wife, Vicki, at Brigham Young University. They have been married for 23 years and have two children.
After graduating from Brigham Young University, Pastor Derwin played professional football in the NFL for five years with the Indianapolis Colts (1993-1997) and one year with the Carolina Panthers (1998). During that time, he and Vicki began their journey with Christ and experienced God's faithfulness and direction as He moved their hearts to know Him and make Him known. Read the "Life Story" tab to find out about the "Naked Preacher" who told Pastor Derwin about Jesus!
Pastor Derwin and Vicki began an itinerant speaking ministry in 1999–One Heart At A Time Ministries–and Pastor Derwin went on to graduate magna cum laude from Southern Evangelical Seminary with a Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree, with a concentration in Apologetics. But following God's call on their lives and their desire to shepherd people towards transforming their world through the mission of Christ, the Lord transitioned Derwin from his primary role of itinerant speaker to being the Lead Pastor of Transformation Church in January of 2010. Coupling his dynamic speaking style with a shepherd's heart, his intense passion for seeing lives and culture transformed is both contagious and inspiring.
In addition to his role at Transformation Church, Pastor Derwin speaks at conferences nationwide and is recognized by many as the "Evangelism Linebacker." Pastor Derwin is currently pursuing a Doctor of Ministry in New Testament Context at Northern Seminary and has been awarded an honorary doctorate from Southern Evangelical Seminary. He is the author of Hero: Unleashing God's Power in a Man's Heart (2010), Limitless Life: You Are More Than Your Past When God Holds Your Future (2013), Crazy Grace for Crazy Times Bible Study (2015), and The High-Definition Leader (2015).
As I surveyed the landscape of my life in the summer of 1997, that insistent and gnawing cry that had always accompanied me echoed in my soul, "There's got to be more to life than this." Sure, I escaped the West Side ghetto of San Antonio, Texas, through the vehicle of football–but only to find myself in another ghetto. This ghetto, however, had all the right external pleasures one could possess: a beautiful wife, nice cars, nice home, great vacations, fame, an elite professional occupation, financial stability, and the financial muscle to provide for my grandparents, mother, and siblings. Though the externals looked good, the external "stuff" I possessed could not fill the empty cavern in my soul.
I found the stench of this ghetto to be worse than the foul-smelling one in which I spent my formative years. You're probably thinking, "But Derwin, you lived the American Dream." Exactly, I had the American Dream! But I didn't have God's dream! God's dream was for me to know, love, and live for Him (2 Cor. 5:14-21). My existence is summed up by Jesus when He said the following in Mark 12:29-31: "The first of all the commandments is, 'Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God will all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like it, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
Our Heavenly Papa longs to love and empower us so our lives can display His excellence . . . this is true and total joy. And this is how I finally escaped the ghetto of my soul.
During my rookie year (1993) with the Indianapolis Colts, I observed a linebacker on the team that was rather unique. After practice he would take a shower, dry off, and wrap a towel around his waist. Then he would pick up his Bible and begin walking like a 1970's pimp as he approached guys in the locker room asking them this strange question: "Do you know Jesus?" I didn't grow up hearing about Jesus so this seemed exceedingly strange to me to see a naked man walking around with a Bible in a locker room . . . besides, I was in the NFL to build my empire and fulfill my dreams (which eventually led to misery).
Out of curiosity I asked the veterans on the team, "What's up with the naked black man walking around talking about 'Do you know Jesus'?" They said, "Don't pay any attention to him; that's the Naked Preacher." So we had a Naked Preacher in the locker room asking guys, "Do you know Jesus?"
As I look back at my first introduction to authentic Christianity, it was ingenius of the Naked Preacher (Steve Grant) to ask the question, "Do you know Jesus?" Why? Because in the Bible, John 17:3 says, "And this is eternal life, that they may know the one true God and Jesus Christ whom I have sent." The word "know" in the Greek language means to know personally or experientially. The Naked Preacher was basically asking his teammates that he loved and was highly respected by, "Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ?"
Over a five-year period (1993-1997), as I watched his life–which gave credibility to his words–the Holy Spirit began to operate on my heart. The sovereign Creator of all that exists lavishly unleashed His uncaused, measureless, and ceaseless love upon me on August 2, 1997. I remember it like it was yesterday. I called my wife on the phone and said, "I want to be more committed to you and to Jesus." At that moment I could literally feel my soul being engulfed by God's holy presence. Since that awakening, my life has not been the same. I can relate to the words of a former murderer named Paul found in Philippians 3:7-10, "But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ–the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings."
I humbly declare my story, as one who is consumed by God's all-sufficient grace that I am a follower of Jesus whose sole purpose of existence is to love God with all that is within me, love myself in light of how God loves me, and love my fellow human beings compassionately by being a servant in this broken world. God's love is the fuel that ignites my passion to share Jesus with you. It is my prayer that you would invite Him to live in you and become a part of His family.

Vonn's publicist Lewis Kay said it's unclear when the four-time overall World Cup champion will return to skiing. "She is resting comfortably at home," Kay wrote in an email. "Doctors are still working to determine what specifically was the cause of her illness, but thankfully she has responded well to their treatment." On Tuesday, Kay said Vonn was "awaiting results from diagnostic testing for severe intestinal pain," but his latest statement did not specify the reason for the hospitalization. Her next scheduled races are the giant slalom and slalom in Aspen on Nov. 24-25, followed by speed events in Lake Louise, Alberta -- her most successful stop on the circuit. Vonn's ski technician, Heinz Haemmerle, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Vonn has visited the hospital two or three times in the past week. Haemmerle said Vonn told him she "has pain all over her body and...
