Getting Oriented
The wildly rugged Guadalupe and Sacramento mountain ranges cut through the south-central portion of the state, dividing the Pecos River valley to the east from the Mesilla River valley to the west. The major highway south through southeastern New Mexico is U.S. 285, accessible from Interstate 40 at the Clines Corner exit, 59 mi east of Albuquerque. If you're destined for Roswell or Carlsbad from southwestern New Mexico, the best route is U.S. 70 east from Las Cruces or U.S. 62/180 east from El Paso, Texas. To get to Roswell and other points in southeastern New Mexico, drive east from Albuquerque on Interstate 40 for about 60 mi, exit on U.S. 285 heading south, and continue 140 mi to Roswell. From Roswell take U.S. 285 to Carlsbad, about 75 mi away (320 mi from Albuquerque). From El Paso, Texas, take U.S. 62/180 east and north 154 mi to Carlsbad Caverns (187 mi to Carlsbad).
The Southeast Corner. It's a lot more like Texas than other areas of New Mexico, and you'll notice a strong Texas drawl coming from the locals. Stark expanses of land are broken by the dramatic Guadalupe Mountains, and once you've visited Carlsbad Caverns you'll realize why so many passed by them without knowing what amazing things lay below.
East-Central Outposts. Cattle are the name of the game in the grassy plains of this region. You'll see huge open areas in between the small towns and amazing wildflowers if you're lucky enough to drive through after good rains. Tucumcari and Santa Rosa offer amazing displays of vintage neon along the famed Route 66.
Heading to High Country. After visiting the visually stunning and smoldering heat of White Sands, you'll be delightfully surprised by how fast the scenery and the temperature change once you head into the mountains toward Cloudcroft or Ruidoso. The Wild West outpost of Lincoln is but one of the many fun historic towns to visit in the area.

My DHCPv6+PPPoE post received a very comprehensive comment from Ole Troan (thank you!) in which he explains the context in which DHCPv6 was developed (a mechanism to give a static IPv6 prefix to a customer) and its intended usage (as the prefix is static, it should have a very long lifetime).
However, when you deploy DHCPv6 in some modern access networks (it's not just PPPoE, Carrier Ethernet fares no better), you might experience subtle problems. Let's start with a step-by-step description of how DHCPv6 works:
- CPE router reboots. IPv6 is configured on the outside interface. We can use link-local address or SLAAC (in which case two IPv6 prefixes are consumed per customer).
- CPE router sends DHCPv6 request toward the PE-router. The DHCPv6 request includes the IA_PD option.
- PE-router receives the DHCPv6 request and either allocates the requested IPv6 prefix from a local pool (in which case the prefix is dynamic and somewhat random) or forwards the DHCPv6 request to a central DHCPv6 server (DHCPv6 relay functionality).
- In both cases, as the DHCPv6 reply goes back through the PE-router, the PE-router installs a static IPv6 route to the delegated IPv6 prefix. The next-hop is obviously the CPE router requesting the prefix.
My PE-router running IOS release 15.0(1)M did not insert the required static route when working as a DHCPv6 relay. DHCPv6 server functionality worked as expected.
So far, so good. Now imagine the PE-router reloads or its access Ethernet interface flaps. The PE-router loses all static routes to the CPE routers that were inserted in the IPv6 routing table based on DHCPv6 replies. However, the CPE routers assume everything is OK (in a typical mixed L2/L3 access network like the one shown below, a problem on one side does not result in a link loss on the other side) and try to renew the delegated prefix's lease only when it's about to expire. In the meantime, the customer has no IPv6 connectivity.
Fortunately, DHCPv6 implementation in Cisco IOS is pretty smart. When you use a local IPv6 pool on the PE-router, the PE-router rebuilds the static routes from the local DHCPv6 bindings. If you use a local pool and store DHCP bindings in a database, they would survive router reload as well.
It's highly recommended to use ipv6 dhcp database to store the delegated prefixes.
But what if you decide to use a central DHCPv6 server and DHCPv6 relaying on the PE-router? How would that combination survive a link loss or a router reload? What am I missing?
Of course, DHCPv6 considerations and the impact on IPv6 routing protocols will be part of the next Building IPv6 Service Provider Core webinar (register here) and the attendees of the previous sessions will get the updated material and access to the new recording.
Update 2012-01-19: DHCP Bulk Lease, available in Cisco IOS release 15.1(S) and described in my new Building Large IPv6 Access Networks webinar, solves the state loss in DHCPv6 relays.

Classroom Rules:

1. Respect people and property.
2. Raise your hand to speak.
3. Work and walk in line quietly.
4. Follow directions the first time they are given.

If a student chooses to break a rule:1st Time: Verbal Warning/reminder and name on board

2nd Time: Teacher puts check by student's name on board, note sent home by teacher to parent that must be signed and returned the following school day, student loses sticker on calendar for that day.

3rd Time: Once a student has broken the rule a third time, student serves lunchtime detention. A Detention Notice sent home to parent to be signed and returned to school the following day, student loses sticker on calendar for that day.

Rewards:
Praise, stickers on personal calendar, positive notes/phone calls home, tangible incentives from Treasure Chest (treats, toys, pencils, etc.), special privileges to be determined on an individual basis
All students will receive a calendar that is to be transported between home and school via his or her take-home folder. Students can earn a sticker for each day they demonstrate good behavior or only receive a verbal warning. Parents are asked to review and initial the calendar entries daily. Children who earn stickers for all school days in any one month earn a special treat or privilege.

Please know that I pledge to be fair and consistent in administering the discipline plan as outlined above. It is my hope that this program will help to ensure that each pupil enjoys a safe, nurturing, distraction-free learning environment.

Thanks for a wonderful year! Have a safe and relaxing summer.
Love, Ms. PrineAnnehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8043504.post-1125948940942192282005-09-05T14:30:00.000-05:002005-09-05T14:35:40.950-05:00Welcome Back to School!Dear Parents,

My name is Anne Prine and I will be your child's second grade teacher this year! Because I will be spending several hours each day with your son/daughter, I would like to tell you some things about myself, both on a personal and professional level.

I've been teaching for 15 years, the past 11 right here in District #91. I have a BA in Elementary Education from Concordia University in River Forest, IL, and a M.Ed. from Olivet Nazarene University. I have teaching experience in grades Pre K, K, and second through fourth grades. I come from a family of teachers (grandmother and aunts) and I live in the Western Suburbs.

I thank you for entrusting me with your child. Please know that I am always interested in knowing your thoughts and concerns; it is my hope that we can work to forge a partnership between home and school. If and when you should have a question or need to share information with me, please send a note in your child's Betsy Ross Folder or telephone the school at 708-366-7498. I will respond as promptly as possible. I look forward to meeting you at our open house night, September 14. Good parental communication is an essential component to my being an effective teacher and so you will be receiving various written notices or newsletters throughout the school year regarding our second grade program here at Betsy Ross.

I will strive to make the 2nd grade classroom a place that children cannot wait to arrive at each day - a learning environment that is nurturing, enjoyable, and safe. I anticipate that our classroom discipline plan will have a positive impact upon your child's social and emotional growth.

Thank you in advance for your support and involvement in your child's 2nd grade experience.

Yours truly,

Ms. PrineAnnehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8043504.post-1125854890942836962005-09-04T12:13:00.000-05:002005-09-04T12:28:10.983-05:00SPELLING WORD LIST FOR WEEK OF SEPT. 6-9, 2005A single sheet of yellow paper with the new spelling words will be sent home at the beginning of each week.

Dear Parents of our Second Graders:

As you know, tomorrow (Thursday, May 26) is the day of the Forest Park All-School Picnic!

Please take note of the following:

• Dismissal from school is at 10:30 A.M. We strongly encourage parents or guardians to pick up their children from Betsy Ross School at this time, as it is difficult to find people in the crowded park.

• If you must pick up your child at the park, please note that your child will be waiting next to the Forest Park yellow school buses that are parked behind the "Tot Lot" (where the playground equipment is located). We should arrive at the park at approximately 10:50 A.M.

• Please know that no child may participate in the picnic activities unsupervised; this is a safety issue that we take very seriously! If, at the last minute you are unable to escort your child, please make arrangements for him/her to join another parent or arrange for a relative or friend to attend the picnic with your child. (Please indicate to whom you've given permission to pick up your son/daughter in a note to my attention. I cannot release a student to anyone without parental authorization.)

Please don't hesitate to call the school (708-366-7498) with any questions you may have.

SACRAMENTO - Thousands of community college students marched onto Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's doorstep at the Capitol on Monday demanding a stop to their rising tuition costs.
Schwarzenegger's 2004-05 budget proposal includes a 44 percent hike in community college fees, from $18 to $26 per unit. If approved by the Legislature, it would be the second increase in two years. Last year, community college fees rose from $11 to $18 per unit.

Drums › Effects › Electric Guitars › Staff Picks ›
Chicago Music Exchange staff members always have the scoop on the latest new, used, and vintage gear, and we love to tell you about it all. Check out September's Staff Picks:
Tim's Pick
"There's no mistaking this rosewood Tele! It's not trying to be anything other than what it is - a classic, beautiful guitar. It's got a super comfortable feel and I am in love with how the grain runs into a 'V' on the face. It's as much fun to play as it is to look at."
Silas's Pick
"Randy's Revenge is all out Canadian havoc, a noise maker's paradise. Fuzz it and use the expression feature. You're welcome."
Rob's Pick
"My pick is the Sonor 3pc Vintage kit in Natural finish. Sonor drums has always been known for its stellar quality German made beech wood shells. This kit pays homage to the incredible sounding kits that Sonor once produced in the 1960's. The teardrop lug, thin beech shell, natural wood finish and deep warm sound, make this the perfect choice for the drummer who likes a rich vintage sound with a newly designed classic look."
Drew's Pick
"The Scanner is perhaps the best effect that I have ever heard. Everything about it is cool. Check out our video of it, or better yet, get into the shop and try it for yourself!! It is super!!"
Dan's Pick
"We just started carrying Asher guitars and they're incredible. This one is an older model custom made for Jason Mozersky and it's a very unique guitar. The combination of a single-coil lipstick pickup and a Seymour Duncan Firebird pickup make for a nice well-balanced tone that's got just the right amount of twang. In lieu of a three-way switch Asher borrowed the '60s stacked knob design from the Jazz Bass giving you an independent volume and tone control for each pickup. This guitar is like a Tele, Strat, and a Jazz Bass thrown into one gorgeous axe!"
Chase's Pick
"This Gibson LG-2 American Eagle is the perfect workhorse acoustic guitar. It may be a little guy, but as we all know--size doesn't matter. Thanks to its spruce top and mahogany back and sides, this bite-sized acoustic guitar has a rich and full sound that's perfect for any setting. From the couch to the stage, this LG-2 can do it all!"
Amy's Pick
"At first glance, this Fano may not seem too special. In which case, I would suggest cleaning your glasses, because this thang's a thing of beauty. I am a total sucker for P90's, Jaguar body styles, and anything tortoise. It's been lightly distressed and plays as comfortably as your favorite pair of jeans for it. I would dare to say it plays even BETTER than your favorite pair of jeans, because those probably aren't very loud."
Albert's Pick
"Well, he did it. Stephen Stern, as he is known to do, has built the greatest Gretsch that many of us will ever have the pleasure of playing. This Masterbuilt '55 White Penguin Relic is absolutely astounding in every respect, and it is the perfect guitar for folks who want a vibey Gretsch, but don't the problems that come with the vintage ones (deteriorated binding and prior neck resets are the first things that come to my mind). We waited two years for this guitar to be built, and it was well worth the wait!"
If you were curious about what the staff at Chicago Music Exchange was into, there you have it! We've got plenty of gear to fall for. What's your pick this September? Check out our selection of recently arrived gear and share this month's favorite with us in the comments. Happy browsing!

Printer Repair Questions? Ask IT Technicians for Answers ASAP
Notice / disclosure: JustAnswer is an independent Q&A service not supported by or affiliated with any equipment or software manufacturer. The "9 second" ad does not mean questions are answered in 9 seconds - it means about 400 questions are answered per hour.
Please send me a short message when you're online and ready to begin.
Thanks for using JustAnswer, the internet's independent site for Q&A consulting. I'm "DrKlahn," and I'd like to help you with this question.
I am ready
Good evening, and welcome to JustAnswer. I'm Bruce, nicknamed "DrKlahn."
Please bear with me a moment for some new-user information.
The system indicates that you're a first time user of our site, so do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have about how things work.
Before starting, I would like to confirm that you know that JustAnswer is a for-pay Q&A service which is not the official company support site for either Dell or Lexmark (the printer manufacturer)?
Your troubleshooting so far is outstanding and it saves us about half an hour of time.
It is worth noting at the outset that the V715w and the V313 are notorious for this problem, so it is not anything that you did that caused it.
The problem is almost surely in the printhead, but Dell does not sell replacement printheads for the V715W. It might be possible to find one on ebay, and we can investigate that later if you like, but the problem will probably recur.
How old is the printer?
A little over a year old
OK. It is out of Dell warranty then, but there may be an unexpected warranty extension. Many credit cards double the warranty on products purchased with their card up to one additional year. Might that apply in this case?
Maybe I should just get a new printer? Sounds like this will be more than a printer will cost.
I'm sorry to hear that. Yes, you are correct, it is impractical to have the printer repaired. I can give you a detailed analysis of this situation if you like, but it boils down to "Anywhere from $125 to $200 to fix it."
The economically practical solutions are:
1. Search ebay for a replacement printhead.
2. Search ebay for a good working used V715W.
3. Buy a replacement printer from a better manufacturer.
Do you have a preference on which approach to take? I can help with all three.
I will just buy a new printer. My husband has a Canon printer that he hasn't had a problem with.
Canon is always an excellent choice, with Epson a close second. I have some saved information on what to buy and what to avoid in inkjet printers; would you like to see that?
I also have the links to the online Canon and Epson discount stores, and I will bring those in too.
First let me give you links to two commentaries about this problem with the V715W so that you can confirm what I have told you.
The following are opinions I've formed over the past twenty years while dealing with inkjet printers from various manufacturers. These comments apply to consumer-grade and office-grade printers.When shopping for an inkjet, keep in mind that the manufacturer's designed, expected and intended lifetime is 3 to 5 years. That is when the hidden internal waste ink tanks will fill up, and it is generally not economic to empty or replace them. Therefore, do not overspend.Avoid the following manufacturers:Brother: Generally the low end of the business.Kodak: Bankrupt as of 2012. Unreliable printheads. Expensive supplies. Support in the future is not clear.Lexmark: Leaving the business. Support in the future is not clear.In the middle: HP. HP puts much effort into making cartridges un-refillable, un-reusable, and has now added built-in expiration dates. The result is that sometimes HP's cartridges do not work in their printers. HP supplies new printers with "starter" cartridges having little ink, requiring two new $40 cartridges soon after purchase.Better printer manufacturers:Canon: Excellent diagnostics, with errors reported two ways. Printheads generally replaceable. Ink tanks less expensive than cartridges. Avoid the MP200 series.Epson: Good quality. Printheads often replaceable. Very inexpensive third-party ink tanks -- Epson lost a lawsuit over this issue.Anything other than the above manufacturers has thin market penetration and the quality and longevity would be only a guess. However, ink would be expensive due to a limited market.When buying a new inkjet, expect a five year lifetime. Buy based on the lifetime costs and not the initial cost. Here's an example:HP printer: $60 printer, uses three $40 cartridges a year = $120/year. Five year cost, $660.Canon/Epson printer: $120 printer, uses 12 ink tanks a year. Three sets of (4) generic cartridges at $12/set = $36/year. Five year cost, $300.Side note: Before purchasing a printer, check the benefits flyers for your credit cards. Some card issuers will double the warranty up to one additional year for items bought with their card.
While you're reading the above, I'll check the Canon and Epson online stores.
The Epson store is currently offline.
At the Canon store: Pixma MG3220 at $50, Pixma MX459 at $60. Both are reasonable printers for homes. I would recommend something tougher for an office.
(prices nclude shipping)
At the Canon retail online store:
Pixma MG2220 at $70, Pixma MG3520 at $60. Same class of printers as the previous two.
These represent the lowest end of the spectrum for new printer prices. The same printers will be available in retail stores, but the prices will be somewhat higher in a brck-and-mortar store.
Do you have questions at this point? Ask anything you like; my time is yours.
That's good to know. Thanks for the links and the info.
It is my pleasure to help and you're very welcome.
Side note: If you should decide to go with a used inkjet printer at any time, beware. Inkjet printers have "waste ink" tanks in the bottom where they store ink wiped off the printheads at the end of a print run. These do fill up and when they become full, it is generally cheaper to replace the printer than to disassemble it and empty the tanks. There is usually no way to tell how full the waste ink tanks are in a used printer!
Is there anything I've overlooked, or anything that you would like discussed in more detail, or possibly some other question I might be able to help with? Please feel free to ask - my time is yours for as long as you need it.
I also have instructions for how to save this session to a text file for later reference offline. If that would be useful, please let me know.
No further questions. You've been a big help and I for sure won't be getting another Dell printer.
Well ... the majority of Dell products are very good and Dell stands behind their products like no other computer manufacturer. But the V715 was made for them by Lexmark, and I will just leave that issue at "Break it first and save the time."

History-making Kei Nishikori was dumped out of the Shanghai Masters on Wednesday by American Sam Querrey as defending champion Andy Murray was handed a walkover into the third round.
The tall American recovered from losing the first set to seal a 2-6, 6-1, 6-4 win over Nishikori, who made history on Sunday by becoming the first Japanese player to win the Japan Open.
Also in second-round action, second seed Novak Djokovic cruised through his tournament opener and there were wins for fourth seed Tomas Berdych and 13th seed Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland.
Nishikori said he had needed treatment during the match on his right ankle, which had been bothering him since last week.
"I tried to play but he had a good serve," he said. "I broke him first in the third set but couldn't finish the match. It's disappointing but I was close to win with this injury. Nothing I can do," he said.
The 22-year-old Japanese romped into a 4-0 lead and sealed the opener despite a medical timeout late in the set.
But a missed overhead early in the second set contributed to an early break for Querrey and the Japanese 14th seed lost his rhythm, showing his frustration as his rejuvenated opponent, ranked 22nd, levelled the match.
In the third set two breaks of serve proved costly for Nishikori, who is at a career high of number 15 in the rankings after his weekend win over Canada's Milos Raonic, his first on the Tour since 2008.
Djokovic, who has a shot at regaining the world number one ranking if he wins the title and Federer loses before the quarter-finals, dismissed Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov 6-3, 6-2.
But US Open champion Andy Murray did not even have to take to the court as Germany's Florian Mayer withdrew with a rib injury.
"I'll practise again. I mean, you never know whether it's a good or a bad thing. I mean, you're obviously prepared to play the match," said Murray.
"Yeah, sometimes it happens when you get a walkover. You just need to make sure you do enough practice and stay sharp."
Top seed Roger Federer, playing his first tournament on the Tour since a quarter-final defeat to Berdych at the US Open, was due to take on Taiwanese qualifier Lu Yen-hsun in an evening clash.
The Swiss world number one's build-up was clouded by a death threat from a blogger in China but the Internet user, in a fresh posting on the popular baidu.com site, said he had apologised. He remained at large.
A Shanghai police spokesman on Wednesday declined to comment on the case.
As the season draws towards to a close there are four places still up for grabs at next month's season-ending World Tour Finals in London. The top three have all qualified, along with the injured Rafael Nadal.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I want to start a corporation registered in California. I wouldnt actually start the real operations until Jan. But I want to setup websites and logistics for my business as soon as possible. How long it will take me to incorporate my business. Also I am in Texas and will be using the address in Texas . Is it possible to get registered without a California address. Also would it be wise to register before Jan of 2012(for tax purposes).
The business structure I will be looking is corporation.
Thank you for your answers..
You can register your corporate in California quickly. The California Secretary of State handles business incorporation and provides a web site with forms and fees. (http://www.sos.ca.gov/business/be/forms.htm#corp) You can register without physically being in California but you will have to have a physical address there for service of process (in case someone needs to sue your corporation).
If you will not have an office there, you will need to sign up with a registered agent service, some of which are listed on this web site: http://www.california-registered-agents.com/.
I wouldn't worry a date of incorporation except that you will want to incorporate before you take any actions.
If you intend to do any work in Texas, you will need to register the CA business as a foreign entity in TX. Also, you will need a Tax ID from the IRS and there are accounting basis, fiscal year end, and C vs S elections to make. So it's not as simple as just filling out the CA form and sending in the filing fee.
I would suggest you meet with a business attorney in your area and go over all the details before you take any further action.
Good luck on your new venture!!Ask a similar question
Thank you very much Thomas..
Sorry I can't help you here, but I have absolutely no knowledge of California incorporation law, and I doubt that anyone else you'll find here does either, so I thought you might want to know why. You've somehow posted this in the Texas divorce forum, and you'll need to instead post it in some California (not sure what they offer--business law, maybe? Go down the list until you see something appropriate.). I believe that you switch to California by changing the location you've listed for yourself to one in California. Good luck with your business.Ask a similar question
As my TX colleague noted, you can hire a coompany like CT Corporation to act as your agent for service of process so you can be sued if necessary, or your CA lawyer can be that agent.
You should consult a CA lawyer about incorporating in CA. The CA Secretary of State is about 3 months behind schedule in processing incorporations, so this can't be finalized all that quickly, but you can get it started quickly.
PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU COMMENT, EMAIL ME OR PHONE ME. I'm only licensed in CA. This answer doesn't make me your lawyer, and neither do follow-up comments and/or emails and/or phone calls, and you shouldn't expect me to respond to your further questions if you haven't hired me. We need an actual agreement confirmed in writing before any attorney-client relationship is formed. This answer doesn't constitute legal advice, and shouldn't be relied on, since each state has different laws, each situation is fact specific, and it is impossible to evaluate a legal problem without a comprehensive consultation and review of all the facts and documents at issue.Ask a similar question
You should consult a tax professional regarding whether you need to be set up by January 2012. Obviously if the entity's tax year is the calendar year and you want to file returns for 2011 then the entity has to exist before 2011 end. Whether this is something that needs to be done from a tax perspective would require you to provide additional facts.Ask a similar question

So I was sitting here on Redskins playoff detox, catching up on the division's other teams, and I got to reading this Calvin Watkins item on the Dallas Cowboys' running game. And it got me thinking about the New York Giants' running game, which has a similar problem at its core -- namely, a starting running back who can't be relied on to stay healthy.
In discussing the state of the Cowboys' running game, Calvin quotes coach Jason Garrett saying this:
"We have to do a better job running the football, and you've heard me say this a lot, that balance is critical," coach Jason Garrett said when the season was over. "You want to be able to attack defenses a lot of different ways. DeMarco Murray was out for a large portion of this season, but having said that, you have to put the next guy in there and you have to be effective running it."
In theory, that makes sense. But if Calvin's point is that many of the teams having success in the playoffs are strong in the running game, I submit that they're strong around a reliable central figure who takes all of the snaps and the hits and keeps on grinding. Marshawn Lynch in Seattle. Ray Rice in Baltimore. Arian Foster in Houston. Denver got lucky, when Willis McGahee went down in the second half, it was able to turn to a former first-round pick in Knowshon Moreno and keep going.
The problem in Dallas is Murray has an injury history that starts in college and has drastically impacted both of his pro seasons. And as a result, the Cowboys don't know for certain that they can count on him going forward. They not only need to improve their depth around him, they need to see if they can find a running back capable of handling a full-time workload in his absence.
There was a similar problem in New York, where the Giants wanted to give Ahmad Bradshaw the chance to be the lead back this past year but he couldn't hold up physically either. Recurring issue with Bradshaw that has the team thinking about moving on and going with 2012 first-round pick David Wilson in a "lead dog" role. Can that work? You hope so, certainly, when you take a guy in the first round. But the Giants don't know. Issues with Wilson include ball security (famously) and pass protection. And it's not necessarily that Wilson can't pass-protect, but rather that Bradshaw's the best in the league at it, so if you're going to switch from Bradshaw to anyone as your "lead dog" your offense will have to adjust somehow.
The Cowboys and Giants both went into this season thinking they had solutions at running back, but they came out of it with questions -- some fresh and some old. Expect both teams to address this position in some meaningful way this offseason.

Mavericks hire Butz as assistant GM
Moves up a level within Mariners farm system
By High Desert Mavericks | November 1, 2012 12:17 PM ET
Butz worked the last five seasons for the Clinton LumberKings, the Mariners' affiliate in the Class A Midwest League. He is making a step up the affiliate ladder in the Mariners organization by joining the Mavericks' front office.
"We are pleased to welcome Mitch Butz to the Mavericks' new front office team," said team owner, Dave Heller. "He has a wealth of experience and success in a comparable Minor League Baseball market, and his passion and skill set will help the Mavericks organization get an exciting new chapter for baseball in the High Desert off to a great start."
Born and raised in Clinton, Iowa, Butz served as the LumberKings' director of operations the last three seasons. He began as an administrative assistant in 2008 and served as director of promotions in 2009 before graduating from Ashford University with a degree in sports and recreation management. With the LumberKings, he gained experience in all areas of the organization, including sales, client relations, promotions and hiring and supervising employees.
"I am honored to be given this opportunity with Main Street Baseball and the Mavericks, and I can't wait to get to know the entire Victor Valley community and Mavericks fans across the High Desert," Butz said. "I can't wait to start, and I know I can utilize the skills I've acquired to bring success to the Mavericks organization."
The Mavericks open the 2013 season at Lancaster on Thu, April 4, and play their home opener at Mavericks Stadium on Thu, April 11, against the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes.

(Boulder County Colo.) After removing the water and wet building materials from a flooded structure, the next crucial step is to clean and sanitize the building as needed and to thoroughly dry both living and storage spaces. As with the previous stages of clean up, the relative cleanliness of the floodwater makes a difference for how drastically the affected space must be treated. The established scale for flood events is as follows: Category 1 is clean water such as tap water from a burst pipe other plumbing supply leak, or fresh rainwater or snowmelt leaking through a roof. Category 2 (gray water) is usually groundwater or other water flooding in from outside, but it could also come from the drain side of a dishwasher or clothes washer. Category 3 (black water) is sewage that typically backs up through soil pipes and spills out of toilets, shower and sink drains, and floor drains.
Cleaning and Sanitizing
Before a space is dried out, it needs to be cleaned well. A clean-up contractor I interviewed uses a pressure washer on walls and floors for any category 2 or 3 clean ups--it's a lot easier than trying to scrub every nook and cranny of furring strips, wall studs, radiators, etc.. The wash and rinse water is collected by a large truck-mounted water extractor similar to a carpet cleaning extractor. Strong broad-spectrum anti-microbial cleansers are used at this stage in a flood clean up. Besides cleaning any scum and contaminants left behind by floodwater, backed up sewage, or both; the proper cleaning products used for this work disinfect and sanitize surfaces. One major benefit of anti-microbial disinfectants over bleach is that they don't have to be rinsed and therefore can provide lasting bacteriostatic and fungistatic protection. After wet cleaning, a second application of disinfectant is usually applied to affected surfaces to sanitize them
There are many professional anti-microbial disinfecting cleansers available (with different kill levels for whatever you need to clean up), but according to commercial supply houses and disaster restoration contractors alike, the latest botanical formulations are revolutionizing the industry. Unlike traditional formulas, these products don't require any PPE for safe handling, making them safer and easier for workers to apply. (This PPE requirement relates to just the products themselves--of course protective suits, boots, gloves, and respirators may still be required to work in a contaminated area).
Unless mold is detected in a building, a separate treatment to prevent mold is usually not required.
Mold Remediation
If any mold is detected or even suspected, a trained and certified mold remediation contractor should be brought in. Unless you are aware of all of the advanced requirements and methods of treatment, you would be wise to sub out this step. You don't want to be liable if a flood-damaged building you worked on ever develops mold in the future—leave that to a specialist.
If you do tackle any mold clean-up and treatment, remember that the mold has to be chemically killed as well as physically removed. Any "dead" mold left in place still presents a hazard to the building and its occupants. Be sure to follow established remediation guidelines like those published by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC). The IICRC is a non-profit organization that develops ANSI-approved standards for water damage restoration and mold remediation that professionals in the industry look to. www.iicrc.org
While working in an area where you suspect mold is present, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the EPA recommend using at least an N-95 NIOSH-approved particulate respirator mask to prevent breathing in airborne microorganisms. An N-100 rated respirator mask is a step above that and half- or full-face respirators with canister filters offer even better protection.
Regardless of your previous experience with seemingly harmless mold in shower stalls or under sink cabinets, any exposure should be treated with caution. A friend of mine recounted how spending just a few nights in an apartment with flooded walls and floors (caused by a plumbing leak) triggered adult onset asthma that she suffered from for two years.
Drying Out
Once everything is cleaned, you will need to set up equipment to dry out a space. If you are renting, keep in mind that the experts around here say they typically have to keep the machines running for three to five days. If you live in a more humid area or if it is cold out, it may take longer. The large tool rental chain in town said they brought in five semi trailers with over one thousand pieces of drying equipment right after the flood and that it all got put into service right away. The demand for machines was in the following order.
Dehumidifiers are the most effective tool for drying out a building because they actively condense moisture from the air. Large, high capacity mobile units dry air more quickly than household units to better help you stay ahead of mold. In regions with high ambient humidity, for spaces without ample ventilation like basements and crawlspaces, and during heating season, a dehumidifier is probably a necessity for drying a building.
Air Movers — also called carpet driers or carpet fans--blast a high volume of air along the floor to hasten evaporation. They are typically used in conjunction with dehumidifiers; the powerful stream of air pulls the moisture out of materials at the surface, and the dehumidifier draws the moisture out of the air. During times of warm weather in relatively dry areas like Boulder, air movers and other fans may be enough to dry out a space as long as there is good ventilation with fresh air at a lower humidity level
Air Scrubbers are recirculating fans that have a series of three or four filters to clean particulates out of the air. The third filter is a HEPA filter which can trap fine mold spores, and the optional fourth filter contains activated charcoal to absorb odors.
Moisture Content
While the building is drying out, spot moisture meters are used to monitor the moisture content of the wood that was wet. Sample readings should be taken all over, but it's especially important to check where the wood stayed wet the longest and dries the slowest such as stud wall plates sitting on concrete. Some clean-up contractors prefer using moisture meters with probe pins while others prefer the non-intrusive scanning type. There are also two methods for determining when a building is dry. One company I interviewed said they keep the machines going until every reading they take is at 9% or below. Another company said that their target number is within 4% of readings of known dry areas in the same building, which means drying to between 4% and 11%. Either way, materials in the building need to be brought way below the 17% moisture content that will harbor mold.
Keep checking back for more coverage. Links to guidelines and standards for clean up and restoration work are coming, followed by a look at some volunteer organizations that can help flood victims save valuable documents, photos, and artwork. And I am still compiling a veritable flood of information from local, state, and federal building officials regarding some standards that are being relaxed or modified during this state of disaster.
This is the fourth in a series of reports intended to help inform both the victims of natural disasters as well as the contractors they look to in these times of crisis.


text: For the first nine months of the year, distributable cash flow before certain items was $1.29 billion, up 17 percent from $1.10 billion for the comparable period in 2011. Distributable cash flow per unit before certain items was $3.72 compared to $3.40 for the same period last year. Net income before certain items was $1.58 billion compared to $1.27 billion for the first three quarters of 2011. Including certain items, net income was $737 million versus $789 million for the same period last year. Certain items for the first nine months of the year totaled a net loss of $838 million versus a net loss of $479 million for the comparable period in 2011. The loss, due to certain items for the first three quarters, was primarily attributable to the re-measurement of discontinued operations to fair value related to the KMP assets to be divested in order to obtain Federal Trade Commission approval for Kinder Morgan, Inc.'s acquisition of El Paso.Overview of Business Segments The Products Pipelines business produced third quarter segment earnings before DD&A and certain items of $185 million, up 4 percent from $178 million for the comparable period in 2011. This segment currently is expected to end the year slightly below its published annual budget of 6 percent growth. "The increase in earnings compared to the third quarter of 2011 was driven by higher earnings at our West Coast and Southeast Terminals," Kinder said. "Growth at our West Coast Terminals was attributable to the Carson, Calif., tank expansion project which is being completed ahead of schedule, while growth at our Southeast Terminals was a result of two acquisitions and increased throughput volumes of refined products and biofuels. Earnings were also favorably impacted by higher volumes on the Cochin Pipeline reflecting a completed expansion project and a favorable tax adjustment, as well as better results from our transmix business due to favorable gasoline and diesel pricing." Natural gas liquids (NGL) volumes on Cochin increased by 40 percent compared to the third quarter last year.

New Original Factory Shop opens in Diss
PUBLISHED: 16:24 07 August 2012
Paul Nixon Photography 07904296577
A new department store has opened in a Norfolk town, providing between 15 and 20 new jobs and promising a boost to the town's economy.
The Original Factory Shop opened in Victoria Road, Diss on Saturday on the site formerly occupied by furniture store Wallace King Interiors, which closed in April with the loss of 10 jobs after falling victim to changing trends with shoppers buying more goods on the internet.
However, Colin Leggatt, a marketing director with the Original Factory Shop, said on Monday marketing research had suggested Diss would be a good place for a new store after the town was assessed on criteria including population size, parking, levels of competition and the standard of the building.
And he added the first weekend of trade had been successful.
"Diss was basically a very good place for us and we saw the opportunity because we thought the town was not being served by national retailers and there was a space for us," Mr Leggatt said.
So far, the national chain, which aims to offer a wide range of goods from electricals and bedding to furniture, has opened 10 new stores across the country this year and has a number of stores in smaller towns and village across Norfolk and Suffolk, such as Harleston, Wrentham, Bungay and Bury St Edmunds.
Mr Leggatt said the firm targeted smaller towns where customers had to drive to nearby larger towns to do their shopping and specialised in buying branded goods which had not been bought by other retailers and selling them at a discounted price.
He described the Original Factory Shop as a mini-department local convenience store where local people could walk to if they needed, for example, a new jug or kettle urgently.
"We do offer a very broad range to our customers that they would not normally find on smaller high streets," Mr Leggatt said.

Joining us this year is Gulf Coast, a literary magazine founded by Donald Barthelme and Philip Lopate over twenty years ago. Gulf Coast continues to be published today out of the creative writing department of the University of Houston. They publish poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, interviews, and reviews, as well as a full-color visual art features and critical art writing. Editor Adrienne G. Perry fills us in on what they are all about below!
ZFH: Tell us a little bit about yourself and what you'll be showing at ZFH 2015!
Gulf Coast: Gulf Coast is a boss, student-run journal based out of the University of Houston's English department and creative writing program. Our team of about 30 staffers are on the hunt for the best in contemporary art and literature, publishing two luscious print editions each year and continually rotating content online. Folks who read Gulf Coast love the journal's design, the diversity of voices in our pages, on the web, and our unique fusion of art and literature. On the national literary scene, we're an established player with local, H-town roots and a little edge.
ZFH: What is the future of zines in this new and rapidly digitizing world?
GC: Zines are hugely important in this digitized world. Zines are a form of citizens' art and media, allowing artists, writers, and creators to regain agency in publishing and producing art and writing they believe in passionately. One of the dangers of digitization and the big guy publishers is that those voices–crucial, often marginalized voices–that need to be heard and celebrated lose their platforms. Zines rebuild those platforms and reinvent them beautifully and with incredible imagination.
ZFH: What in your opinion is the best invention of the last 30 years?
GC: Quantum computing.
ZFH: What in your opinion is the worst invention of the last 30 years?
GC: Private prison industry.
Thanks, Gulf Coast! We are excited for you to join us at the fest this year! There will be lots of other magazines featured at Zine Fest Houston 2015 as well, so stop by The Printing Museum on Saturday, October 17th to check them out.

Hi there...
I have a 4 year, 4 month old son that was diagnosed with autism at 32 months. He has been in various therapies since then (ABA, speech, OT, SI). He has made progress in some areas, but I feel like his speech is stuck. His speech is basically simple requests for food items, and echolalia. When someone says, "hi matt", he repeats it. He also perseverates on words all day long, which have no significance to the situation at hand. It's like what he is saying has a secret meaning to him. He currently has about 30 words, can't answer or ask questions, initiate conversation, follow through on conversation, express likes,dislikes, or feelings. He has progressed socially, by that I mean that he makes eye contact with family members and familiar people, and will smile and give hugs. He is still unable to play with children. He has no idea what to do. He wants to interact, but usually will push them down or hug them so hard that they fall. He makes screeching noises before his approach, so I know he is excited. He also doesn't know how to play with toys at all, and has no imaginary play skills. His usual pattern of interest revolves around "tapping" with an elongated object, such as a toy sword, stick, ruler, empty plastic bottle, etc.
He is very difficult to engage in play, unless it consists of bouncing him on a ball, or jumping with him on a trampoline or bed. Of course, this type of play can't be done all day, so I have run out of ideas. He is not interested in toys, games, art, etc. He will follow through on a task in ABA, just to get the reinforcer (cookie), but then changes course once he gets the cookie.
This autism is tricky. Here is my question: Is it typical for an autistic child to progress in some areas, such as eye contact, and physical contact, but remain stagnant in language and play skills? I'm afraid that my son will crave attention so much that he will hug or push anyone because he is lacking appropriate social skills.
I hope that you can answer my question. I look forward to your response.

Have You Heard The New…Arcade Fire Album?
November 18th, 2013 | Features | 0 Comments
I don't want to make this too long.
This is Arcade Fire's best album. It's big, sprawling, epic, ambitious, but focused, and in every conceivable way it just works. It returns the band to the darkness they first visited on Neon Bible, but James Murphy and the dancefloor influence brought to this album make it sound different – and more propulsive – than anything the band has done up until this point. Admittedly, the emotion and honesty of Funeral do not make a return; the lyrics may be the most lacking aspect of the album, though they're still solid for the most part. But that was then, this is now. And on its own terms, this album knocks it out of the park big time.
The precedent for this album – despite what Owen Pallett says – is London Calling and Sandanista! No other album in memory features a super-white band trying their hand at musical styles as distant as Carribean music with anywhere close to the success that Arcade Fire achieve here. There's also rock songs, pop songs, dance songs, krautrock, other stuff. And it all just works. The songs are all like six minutes long – but they also just work, because the band and/or Murphy apparently never run out of ideas of ways to keep things interesting and exciting.
I like the first half of the album better. It starts with some long intro thing that's all arty – I've listened to it but I skip it when I re-listen to the album. Most of the heavy hitters are on this side – "Reflektor", "We Exist", "Normal Person", and "Joan Of Ark" stand out in particular. Most of these songs could serve as centerpieces for lesser albums, but here they're each just another track. "Normal Person" I find especially interesting because it's got great lyrics but the very thing that makes me enjoy it less might be the most brilliant aspect of it. I'm sure I'm wrong about this but the song features a big, loud, blunt guitar sound blaring out the songs main four chords during the chorus, and every time I hear it I think 1) this is one of the most boring aesthetics they could've used for this song 2) maybe the use of the big guitar is kind of a snarky joke on the part of the band, as in this is the sound a "normal person" wants to hear in radio rock song – just big, blaring guitar.
The second half, as Pitchfork wrote, is more 'airy'. The songs are not as sonically 'grounded' or memorable for the most – part – they're still very good. Here "Afterlife" does seem to serve as a centerpiece of sorts, providing the big, beautiful flagship track for the side before allowing "Supersymmetry" to close things in neat, logical, shimmering fashion.
Is there much to the whole Orpheus referencing the album makes? I don't know if it's as deep as we'd like it to be – you sojourn into the underworld to bring your love out of it. I suppose it could serve as a metaphor for the album itself in that it's a wealth of beauty that resides sonically and moodily in the underworld. I wouldn't make a big deal out of it. A big deal doesn't need to made out of it. Arcade Fire brought their A-game to this one. As in the A-game brought their A-game. They sound excited. All the hype-work they did around the album seems to confirm that impression, though it doesn't need to. The sounds on this album are made by a band that's not sounded this alive in almost a decade, when they sounded more alive than any other band on Earth. Maybe they needed to go to the underworld to pull it off again. But man, they totally did.

Smashburger set to smash the Tabor Center at the end of June
Smashburger, the homegrown burger barn that's multiplying like calculators, will open its eleventh Colorado location in June at 1203 16th Street in the lower level of the Tabor Center. The burger chain, which began building its beef empire back in 2007, isn't skedded to build any more outlets in Colorado -- at least, not now -- but there are 17 additional locations opening soon in other markets that will join the 54 existing Smashburgers scattered throughout the country. The downtown Denver store is slated to open at the end of June.

Hedge Funds Cut Brent Crude Net-Longs to Lowest in 14 Months
Hedge funds and other money managers reduced bullish bets on Brent crude to the lowest level in 14 months, according to data from ICE Futures Europe.
Speculative bets that prices will rise, in futures and options combined, outnumbered short positions by 85,658 lots in the week ended Jan. 14, the London-based exchange said today in its weekly Commitments of Traders report. The cut of 14,438 contracts, or 14 percent, is the second weekly reduction and brings net-longs down to their lowest since Nov. 13, 2012.
Bearish positions by producers, merchants, processors and users of the North Sea crude outnumbered bullish wagers by 219,522 contracts, a decrease of 37 lots in their net-shorts.
ICE publishes, usually each Monday, aggregate numbers for long and short positions for speculators such as hedge funds and institutional investors, as well as commercial companies that buy or sell futures to protect against price moves. Analysts and investors follow changes in speculators' positions because such transactions can reflect an expectation of a change in prices.
Brent futures declined 0.9 percent on the ICE exchange to $106.39 a barrel in the week to Jan. 14 and were at $106.25 as of 12:35 p.m. London time.
Swap dealers boosted net-long positions in Brent for a second week, increasing them by 9 percent to 199,834 contracts, the highest since Nov. 26.
Money managers' bullish bets on European gasoil declined for a second week to their lowest since mid-November, falling by 12,809 contracts, or 21 percent, to 47,570 lots, ICE data show.
