Teacher's Guide
Learning requires action. Give your students this sense-making activity from The Curriculum Corner.
Distance and Displacement
Distance and displacement are two quantities that may seem to mean the same thing yet have distinctly different definitions and meanings.
- Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.
- Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.
To test your understanding of this distinction, consider the motion depicted in the diagram below. A physics teacher walks 4 meters East, 2 meters South, 4 meters West, and finally 2 meters North.
Even though the physics teacher has walked a total distance of 12 meters, her displacement is 0 meters. During the course of her motion, she has "covered 12 meters of ground" (distance = 12 m). Yet when she is finished walking, she is not "out of place" - i.e., there is no displacement for her motion (displacement = 0 m). Displacement, being a vector quantity, must give attention to direction. The 4 meters east cancels the 4 meters west; and the 2 meters south cancels the 2 meters north. Vector quantities such as displacement are direction aware. Scalar quantities such as distance are ignorant of direction. In determining the overall distance traveled by the physics teachers, the various directions of motion can be ignored.
Now consider another example. The diagram below shows the position of a cross-country skier at various times. At each of the indicated times, the skier turns around and reverses the direction of travel. In other words, the skier moves from A to B to C to D.
Use the diagram to determine the resulting displacement and the distance traveled by the skier during these three minutes. Then click the button to see the answer.
As a final example, consider a football coach pacing back and forth along the sidelines. The diagram below shows several of coach's positions at various times. At each marked position, the coach makes a "U-turn" and moves in the opposite direction. In other words, the coach moves from position A to B to C to D.
What is the coach's resulting displacement and distance of travel? Click the button to see the answer.
To understand the distinction between distance and displacement, you must know the definitions. You must also know that a vector quantity such as displacement is direction-aware and a scalar quantity such as distance is ignorant of direction. When an object changes its direction of motion, displacement takes this direction change into account; heading the opposite direction effectively begins to cancel whatever displacement there once was.
Check Your Understanding
1. What is the displacement of the cross-country team if they begin at the school, run 10 miles and finish back at the school?
2. What is the distance and the displacement of the race car drivers in the Indy 500?

Last month, former "Walking Dead" executive producer Frank Darabont announced his return to television with the period drama pilot, "L.A. Noir." And just a few weeks later, one of the leading actors from "The Walking Dead" was tapped to play one of the main characters for Darabont's new show. And now the co-lead of the potential series has also been found.
Deadline is reporting that Milo Ventimiglia has officially joined "L.A. Noir" to play Ned Stax, a former marine turned lawyer who is in the pocket of the mob. "L.A. Noir" takes place during the 1940s and '50s in Los Angeles at the height of the war between the corrupt L.A. police department led by Police Chief William Parker and Mickey Cohen's infamous mob that controlled Los Angeles' criminal underworld.
Jon Bernthal is said to be playing the other lead character, Joe Teague; a police officer who is caught up in the conflict between Parker and Cohen. Teague also served in the marines during World War II alongside Ventimiglia's Stax, giving the two characters a pre-existing connection.
Ventimiglia is best known for his role as Peter Petrelli through four seasons of NBC's "Heroes" as well as his three year run on "Gilmore Girls" and his turn as Rocky Balboa's son in "Rocky."
Darabont is set to write and direct the pilot and executive produce the potential series for "L.A. Noir." Michael De Luca and Elliot Webb are also attached to "L.A. Noir" as executive producers.

Injury Update for U.S. Team
Forward Clint Dempsey is considering wearing a protective mask to guard his broken nose when the U.S. men's soccer team plays again on Sunday.
Dempsey was hurt in Monday's 2-1 win over Ghana in the World Cup. Forward Jozy Altidore also left that match with a hamstring injury and his status for Sunday's game against Portugal is uncertain.
Head coach Jurgen Klinsmann says he's still hopeful Altidore will return during this tournament.

Historic Penn Hills homes to take center stage on tour
Christine DeCarolis of Penn Hills has been on house tours up and down the East Coast, from Florida to Rhode Island.
"It was kind of my hobby for a while," she said.
It makes sense, then, that she would be the prime mover organizing the Penn Hills Community Development Corporation's Sept. 14 house and garden tour of the municipality.
"When I started getting back into real estate in 2009 and saw how some of the neighborhoods like Bloomfield, East Liberty and Lawrenceville were turning around, I thought it would be nice to show people how our neighborhoods are changing," she said.
DeCarolis said Penn Hills "gets a bad rap," but once she began talking with owners of homes that could be suitable for the tour, she was unduly impressed.
"I've been quite blown away by some of the houses I've seen," she said. "I think our slogan should be, 'There's a lot more to Penn Hills than Frankstown Road and the Penn Hills Center (shopping plaza).'"
DeCarolis drove around the municipality, seeking out interesting properties or places with a connection to Penn Hills history.
Sarah Wilson has one such home, built in the 1820s. The house includes some wood from the original log cabin that Thomas Wilson, an early resident of Penn Hills, built on the property in the 1700s.
"I have two acres of the last piece of property we owned, which ran from Coal Hollow Road to Lime Hollow Road and just across Frankstown," Wilson said."'Bucolic' is the only word that comes to mind. It's two acres, flat and grassy, and we have a nice garden growing. You sort of feel like you step back in time when you come up here, even though it's right in the middle of everything."
Another stop on the tour is Jim Beck's home on Datura Drive, built in 1938. Beck also is a member of the Penn Hills Community Development Corporation and serves on its housing committee.
"It was one of the first three houses on my street, built by a prominent local builder, Ralph Scherger," Beck said, adding he looks forward to the house tour.
"When I look over our efforts in the CDC to sort of recast Penn Hills in people's minds, I think the housing committee holds our real power in terms of being a key to our renaissance here," he said.
"I think since the mortgage crisis, people are going to welcome the security of knowing they're buying houses they can afford. I think it's going to position us to have an influx of buyers, and the house tour sort of dovetails right into that."
Joan Greco will invite tour participants into her 1930s-built Cape Cod-style home on Moore Avenue, which she describes as "an artistic little place.
"I've not just gone into Ethan Allen and bought a whole set of furniture," she said.
DeCarolis said the tour will be self-guided.
"People can start on House No. 1 or House No. 10, it doesn't matter," she said. "Having been on so many house tours — and especially because Penn Hills is so big and spread out — this is probably the best way to do it."
Beck said that unlike some house tours, which showcase massive mansions that tour-takers couldn't possibly hope to buy, "we're showing them houses that a lot of homebuyers can afford."
DeCarolis agreed.
"I'm just surprised and blown away by some of the houses I've seen, and if we have good weather, there are some really fantastic gardens people will also be able to see," she said.
The tour will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance, and are available by calling 412-275-0014 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

When we were hooking up the "Copy to Oracle" functionality, Dermot added a cool bit of code to allow us to do queries across connections.
The Copy to Oracle function allows you point at a table in any supported connection type and choose copy to oracle from the menu. This then goes and creates the table in Oracle and populates it with data from the source table.
Now, as I said, to do this, Dermot added some functionality to enable this. This functionality is very flexible and the UI in Copy to Oracle uses this mechanism to achieve the functionality.
The command shown here is just the basics of what this can do and we will document this in more detail as we go on.
BRIDGE DEMO_CUSTOMERS AS access
(SELECT * FROM "Order Details") ;
This command can be broken into a few pieces. After the BRIDGE token, the identifier is the name of the new table to be create in the current Oracle connection. The access identifier represents the connection that we will copy the table from and the query between the braces is the query which will be run on the source connection as the data for the new table.
Running the commands listed here, drop the table if it exists and creates it on the Oracle Connection.
We then run a query against that connection we get the following results in the results panel.
This is just a small view into what the bridge command can do and how it is used in the Copy to Oracle Functionality today.
Now we have the table is in Oracle. However, we can do something even cooler than this. We can join a table in Oracle with a table in Access and show the results.
BRIDGE TEMPcustomers AS access
(SELECT * FROM "Order Details")
SELECT * FROM TEMPcustomers,Products
where Products.productid=TEMPcustomers.ProductID;
This is a little step further. We take the table in Access, copy it to Oracle as a temporary table and join it with a table in Oracle to show the results below.

Keeping farmers safe on the road
Nearly everyone who has driven farm machinery on the road has a horror story about another driver that has caused a potential tragedy.
Take some time to stop and think
Economics are tight in agriculture right now, especially in the dairy industry. When times are tough, it is very easy to just work harder and hope things will get better.
Dairymen, who has your back?
Dairy farmers and dairy support businesses you don't even know are feeling challenged right along with you, even if you feel alone.
Feeding for every penny in the milk check
With low milk prices, it's important, as the saying goes, to "squeeze every penny possible out of the milk check."
Vaccination gives boost when needed
An effective vaccination program is important to minimize disease risk and maximize productivity and profitability of your farm.
Manure management needs to be nutrient management
A question that is becoming increasingly important is: how are the nutrients contained in manure accounted for and managed as that manure is applied back to the land?
Dairymen, the VFD is on its way
The new Veterinary Feed Directive will take effect on Jan. 1, 2017, to help insure the judicious use of antimicrobials. Here's what you need to know.
Time to get your fertilizer certification
The deadline to become certified to apply fertilizer is quickly approaching.
Stress management during tough financial times on the farm
There is no doubt the production agriculture sector is going through a tough financial period. In particular, low crop prices and low milk prices are severely impacting row crop and dairy producers.
Let there be light (and darkness)
Study after study have shown an increase in milk production when cows receive 16 hours of light, alternating with 8 hours of dark.

As I previously posted, the LP is a total head trip that trances me out like Velvet Underground, Love and Rockets, and Spacemen 3 have in previous decades. Above is the video for the deeply groovy title track.

Where: United Center – Chicago, IL
When: 3:30pm EDT
Records: OSU 29-3 (15-1); Badgers 29-4 (13-3)
Fighting out of the blue corner…Seriously, there's no need for a lengthy breakdown today. My guess is the first one to 50 is the winner. I would assume the post players are duct taping magazines to their thighs and around their rib cages as we speak in preparation for another old fashioned Big Ten street fight.
It will be interesting to see how much gas Greg Oden has in the tank after dominating two games in two days because I can guarantee Bo Ryan's strategy to stop him contains a few WWE moves. If Oden can avoid foul trouble, figure-four-leg-locks and Himalayan Toe-Holds, then OSU will complete the regular season and conference tournament title sweep.
Some experts seem to think this game will decide a #1 seed but I think OSU has already assured themselves of a top spot. The late tip-off might also play a factor but the bottom line is an OSU loss should still be enough to supplant overrated UCLA as a #1 seed. OSU is favored by about 2 points. Jump on it.

I'm glad some viewers, including our own Witney Seibold, liked The Man with the Iron Fists. I didn't think it was very good, but if it gets more people interested in classic Kung Fu movies then that's still a win. And Iron Fists is fun. It's not boring. It's just a mess and edited choppily so even the cool fight scenes are a little ugly to watch. Perhaps, even with the help of Eli Roth and Quentin Tarantino, Man with the Iron Fists still looks like a rapper's directorial debut.
RZA mentioned a four-hour rough cut of the film, which sparked fantasies about what might have been deleted from the 96-minute theatrical release. I know that four hours is an assembly. It's not finished scenes that would flow in a four-hour narrative. The Blu-ray includes an extended cut that is 108 minutes, and 12 minutes added to any movie is not insignificant, so I was interested to see whether the extended cut on the Man with the Iron Fists Blu-ray would improve the film.
RZA plays a blacksmith (a black blacksmith? No, they don't make that joke) in a Chinese village that seems to be ground zero for warring clans. Not only are different clans with different styles of martial arts and different supernatural powers terrorizing his village, but the British rogue Jack Knife (Russell Crowe) has strolled into town and camped out at Madam Blossom (Lucy Liu)'s brothel. When some bad guys chop off the blacksmith's arms, he fashions some iron fists infused with his chi so he comes back stronger than ever. But how is he going to wipe with iron fists for the rest of his life? Those things are great for pounding bad guys, but they'll rip right through turn of the century toilet paper.
I honestly could not tell what was added to the extended cut, so it certainly didn't make any improvements. It isn't the blood and gore because it was already R-rated. I did look at the clock though, so it's definitely 12 minutes longer. There's 12 extra minutes somewhere in here.
The story is imaginative and creates a lot of unique characters. Clans based on animals are of course traditional, so Lion Clan feels right at home in a Shaw Brothers-inspired historical epic. Even characters in one scene get interesting backstories and characterization. Zen-Yi (Rick Yune) has cool armor with special hidden weapons. The Gemini Killers (Grace Huang and Andrew Lin) have other, different hidden weapons. The fights just feel more like series of cool moves than a visual narrative of combat.
When different combinations of these opponents face off, they have interesting permutations of strengths and weaknesses in play. Brass Body (Dave Bautista) actually has a brass body, so Iron Fists are the only power that stands a chance against him.
The editing still looks choppy to me, but that could be more of a Corey Yuen thing than a RZA thing. I generally find Corey Yuen's fight choreography less cohesive than those by Yuen Woo-ping. He does some awesome work, and who could forget the fight scene from Fong Sai-Yuk where Jet Li and his opponent are standing on the onlookers' heads? I just find his scenes more like highlight showcases than dramatically building narratives of combat.
A big narrative problem for the film is that the blacksmith is only a minor character for about the first 50 minutes. He narrates, but shows up once or twice, yet really he's the protagonist of the movie. We just don't find that out until he becomes the iron-fisted man of the title (not the titular "Man with the Iron Fists"). He's made weapons for most of the film's battling characters, but we're more invested in Zen-Yi, Silver Lion or even Jack Knife at this point, and even they are clearly memorable supporting characters, not protagonists.
There's a lot of stuff in The Man with the Iron Fists and I admire the ambition, nay, the sheer balls to shove all stuff that into a studio movie. If the fights were amazing, it would be enough, or if the story were more epic than convoluted, that would be enough, but as it stands we've simply got a worthwhile effort.
The Blu-ray looks awesome. All the detail in the sets and costumes are perfectly clear. Even the most lovingly restored Shaw Brothers movies, and there are some excellent Blu-rays, can't show quite this much detail and color. You can see every scar on a fighter, every bead of sweat, every drop of blood. It's also beautiful. The brothel is a lovely set full of lovely women in lovely costumes, overwhelmingly pink in the pinkest HD pink Blu-ray can offer. The Golden palace and tattoo parlors shine brightly and even a black and white flashback has gold highlights. Natural backdrops on location in China look more impressive than any special effect. It looks like Shaw Brothers, only crisper and cleaner.
A series of further deleted scenes provides a lot more than the extended cut's vague additions. Extended backstory on several characters is shown, making their roles in the ensemble more epic, though it is just exposition. I'm not thinking anyone would benefit from the four-hour assembly cut, or even a two-hour extended-extended cut. Interestingly, the first deleted sequence is subtitled even though they are speaking English, but it highlights how the actors don't always say all the words in the sentence. Maybe that's why it got deleted. The wires are left in on some shots too.
The other bonus features are surprisingly light, just a series of featurettes no longer than two minutes each, and most only around a minute. That's okay with me. I probably wouldn't be interested in exploring this movie any more deeply personally, but I'm surprised The RZA wasn't more involved for his passion project. He didn't even record a commentary.
After two viewings and additional deleted scenes, I'm willing to cut The Man with the Iron Fists a little slack. It's got enough fun and creativity to just go with it, but it could have been the ultimate kung fu movie with a little extra work.

T-fal Mini Grilled Cheese Griddle
The claim: The T-fal Mini Grilled Cheese Griddle makes the perfect sandwich every time with a nonstick interior and exterior for easy cooking and cleaning and an even-heat base that delivers superior heat distribution. The reliable cooking results make this an absolute necessity for the sandwich lover in your family.
Cost: $7.99
Where: t-falusa.com
I've always been a sucker for grilled-cheese sandwiches. It's a welcome challenge to grill the perfect cheese sandwich. I'm talking golden-yellow bread with dark-brown patterns speckled across, and cheese oozing out. It's not as easy as it looks. But I was hopeful that the T-fal Mini Grilled Cheese Griddle would be able to craft that ideal sandwich.
The griddle is quite small, and it made maneuvering the spatula difficult at first. But I soon got the hang of it. The real test came with the first flip — and the T-fal griddle didn't disappoint. Perfectly uniform grill marks covered the golden-yellow bread. The second side grilled a little faster than the first, but still — perfect coverage.
Cleanup was a cinch, and storage isn't an issue at all. Come to think about it, the griddle would be an ideal candidate for camping.
As for my test sandwiches? They went quickly. And, the ultimate compliment: My 8-year-old son even ate the crusts!
Ilike the T-fal Mini Grilled Cheese Griddle for many reasons. When I use a bigger pan to make grilled cheese, it's hard to keep the melted butter just under the bread; it spreads around the pan. This smaller griddle, barely bigger than bread slices, concentrates everything in one small space. I also like that it doesn't stick. On regular pans, I often have to scrape off bread fragments. I also used this griddle to make some toast, and it worked.
The T-fal Mini Grilled Cheese Griddle is pretty darn cute, but is it really useful? The 6.5-inch square skillet is the perfect size for making grilled-cheese sandwiches. But, because the bottom is pretty thin, you need to cook on a really low heat to avoid scorching the pan and burning your sandwich.
I have to say, the sandwich did turn out perfectly browned, but it took a lot longer than it generally does with a regular skillet. If you have a friend with all the kitchen gadgets and who likes grilled cheese, this would make a good novelty gift. Otherwise, most of us probably have a skillet already that does the job just fine.

WHISPER: After $4.9 Million Face Lift, Photos Show Larcom Basement Filled With Mold, Unrepaired 8 Months After Flood
by P.D. Lesko
"I just hope everyone who's asked to sign a petition gets all the information about the condition of the spaces we're trying to replace and the cost of not doing anything," said Council Member Chris Easthope, who's worked on the plan for a new police-court building for several years.—Ann Arbor News, April 2008
After asking for concessions from hundreds of unionized employees, John Hieftje, Council members Sabra Briere, Tony Derezinski, Christopher Taylor and Marcia Higgins sponsored a resolution to give $10,000 to the city's CFO, Tom Crawford, who earns $125,000 per year plus his cell phone and car allowances, for his "exemplary work" while interim City Administrator. A member of Crawford's staff in an email to A2Politico called the bonus "a slap in the face to every city worker who was asked to give pay concessions. It's shameful." A comment on AnnArbor.com in response to a post on the news blog about the bonus asked, "How can any valuable lower pay scale employee have any respect for the folks running this show?"
It's a good question.
Over the past 36 months, the Hieftje administration has consistently found money for bonuses, lump sum payments, vacation day cash outs, pay bumps and perks for senior managers. What the Hieftje administration has not found money for is to repair the mouldering, damaged, basement of the Larcom building, flooded in February of 2011, after taxpayers footed the bill for a multi-million dollar renovation.
The basement space, part of a $4.9 million dollar renovation of the Larcom Building, is supposed to be where police officers have their locker rooms. The state of the officer's locker rooms, as well as the Larcom basement, was cited over and over by politicos as one of the main reasons why a new police-court building had to be built at a cost of $48 million dollars.
The A2Journal recently ran a little-noticed piece which revealed the fact that the city's police officers have to report for work each day at the Wheeler Center, located on Stone School Road near Ellsworth, about 20-25 minutes from new police-court building and the adjoining Larcom building.
So why are the city's police officers dressing in a meeting room in Pittsfield Township then driving into Ann Arbor instead of dressing in the basement locker rooms of the Larcom building? Because eight months ago, in February of 2011, the basement of the Larcom Building flooded, "waist deep," said one police officer, "with hundreds of thousands of gallons of water from a broken pipe."
City officials told AnnArbor.com in February of 2011 that the basement flooded with "about one inch of water." Ann Arbor spokesperson Lisa Wondrash told AnnArbor.com "flooring would have to be replaced."
The photo of the basement's central area, right, taken last week and leaked to A2Politico, shows evidence of water damage to the brick walls almost up to the 10th course of brick, some 24 inches from the floor. The photo would appear to contradict Wondrash's claims that only an inch of water covered the area.
In addition to the locker rooms for the police officers, there's a conference room in the basement of the Larcom Building. Though the flooding happened eight months ago, needed repairs have not been made by the contractor who was, according to AnnArbor.com, responsible for the accident.
There are credible allegations that the problems with the basement space go deeper than flooring.
Another Ann Arbor police officer, who asked not to be identified because of fear of retaliation, told A2Politico:
"The basement. It has been flooded 4-6 times. We are not sure exactly how many times — but the Union has asked for air samples and proof that there is no mold. The Union also asked to hire a private company to come in for testing which the City has conveniently not given an answer to. They are still playing games. We have been told that the basement was dried after each flood and that the contractor had drilled holes in the drywall to "make sure" it was not still wet or damp. We have learned from construction experts that once drywall is saturated (not to mention multiple times) it would need to be torn down to the studs to make sure mold was not growing in any wood framed areas.
The officer goes on to say, "This building has had serious leaks since 1964. The City has only masked the problem time after time — including now. We have beautiful greenery on the roof, shiny new siding — on top of a toxic cesspool."
The basement of the Larcom Building, after the public spent almost $48 million dollars to build the new facility and renovate Larcom, is filled with mold, floor-to-ceiling, officers allege, allegations they backed up with photos taken last week. The first photo, left, shows portions of the new drop-ceiling, which litter the basement floor. The next photo shows a close-up of the fallen tiles, covered with mold, along with a portion of the water-damaged floor.
The final photo, below, is of a mold-infested, fallen ceiling tile with a stamped date of 7/31/2010.
Officers fear it may be the same genus of toxic mold that was found in the Larcom Building by a company city officials hired in 2006 to do an environmental evaluation. The only way to know what genus is shown in the photos is to have the mold cultured. Police officials allege city management is "still attempting to hide this and won't allow any tests be done."
Before the new police-court facility was built and the basement of the Larcom building "renovated," the officers reported for work to City Hall and used locker rooms located in the basement of the Larcom Building.
Now, they spend an additional 40-60 minutes per day simply getting themselves to and from the downtown facility. They dress in a meeting room at the Wheeler Center that was, until the officers filed a grievance, not air conditioned and reached 106 degrees in the heat of the summer. The A2Journal reported, "The locker room, which also functions as a meeting room, at the Wheeler is not air conditioned. At one point…when Ann Arbor was under an excessive heat warning, the locker room reached 106 degrees. In the wintertime, it gets every bit as cold as it is hot in the summer. Officers have been told that air conditioning would be too expensive."
The new police-court building, somewhat hopefully dubbed the Justice Center, is a hulking symbol of what some believe is the mismanagement of the city's budget and fiscal priorities that would sacrifice services to fund big-ticket capital projects that the city simply can't afford. The construction of the police-courts building was undertaken at a time when the city's budget was slipping into structural deficit.The ongoing deficits, ironically, have been closed in part by shrinking the city's police force, for whom the new facility was built because the police force was jammed into cramped, unkept quarters.
The 103,000 square foot building was sold to the public, in part, as "green," but a recent class action lawsuit against the company that sells LEED certification alleges that, "What has been created is the image of energy efficient buildings, but not actual energy efficiency." In 2008 when First Ward Council member Sabra Briere mentioned during Council discussions concerning the merit of the project that the building was not perceived as good looking, Fourth Ward Council member Margie Teall said she thought the building would be "beautiful."
It's not surprise that Teall rose in defense of the project. She sat on the 2006 Space Task Force, a committee stacked with politicos and political appointees who, one could argue, went into the job of "studying" whether a new building was necessary with some pre-conceived notions. First Ward Council member Sandi Smith, for instance, was solidly behind the need to spend big for an out-sized building in 2006 and then when she ran for Council in 2008.
The City Hall spin machine has been in high gear. Second Ward Council member Stephen Rapundalo, who has a Ph.D., but who is not an expert in the fields of toxicology or pulmonology, told AnnArbor.com in March 2011, "There is no evidence to support the union's contention that they have a higher need for health care because of the building in which they were housed." The news blog didn't get an expert medical opinion, or consult an expert in environmental safety.
On April 21, 2011, three months after the February flood, while officers were forced to get dressed in a freezing room at the Wheeler Center, AnnArbor.com posted a piece titled, "Ann Arbor Police Chief says he was ashamed of conditions of police endured inside of city hall." The misleading implication, of course, was that the conditions had been ameliorated when, in fact, the basement locker rooms were still unusable.
In the piece Police Chief Barnett Jones tells reporter Ryan Stanton, "As a chief, my people come first."
In the same April 2011 piece, Stanton reported, incredibly:
Even though they have a new building, Ann Arbor police officers will continue to use the city hall basement, said Bob Cariano, the city's safety manager.
Cariano said no employees will be stationed in the basement, but the police lockers and other meetings spaces that city employees will use are located there. He said the city has installed a completely new sub-slab pressurization radon mitigation system to ensure safety, and asbestos also has been removed.
Cariano said officers should only have to be in the basement locker rooms for a half-hour prior to the start of their shift and then at the end of their shift.
Other top city officials don't disagree conditions were bad. And in fact, that's one of the reasons cited for moving forward with construction of the new building.
Robert Cariano, the city's Safety Manager, and a member of the Board of the Michigan Safety Conference, a non-profit organization that provides health and safety education to Michigan companies and cities, did not respond to repeated requests for comment concerning his statements to AnnArbor.com, and any actions the city has taken to ascertain whether there is a mold problem and, if so, what the city has done to address any infestation. Cariano's boss, Sue McCormick, also refused to comment.
As for Council member Stephen Rapundalo's unsubstantiated assertions, the pulmonologist who treated former Ann Arbor police officer Vada Murray disagreed with Rapundalo. Murray, a non-smoker, recently died after contracting lung cancer. Officer Murray left a video recording to be used after his death by his lawyers in which he said he believed his exposure to mold and asbestos in the Larcom Building was a contributing factor in his cancer. Murray's doctor said the exposures are so vast i.e. radon, asbestos and mold—danger factors for officers who've worked in the Larcom Building are high.

Tampa Bay Area Black Professionals Network Online
Got a community event you want to publicize? A charitable effort that needed attention? A discussion you wanted to start among black folsk of a certain station in town?
Public relations/marketing executive Carolyn Lighty was the person you would turn to, courtesy of an authoritative email list she'd amassed of thousands of professionals of color in the Tampa Bay area. She once used the list to publicize her regular series of mixers called a Taste of Sugar Hill; even when the mixers stopped, Lighty kept forwarding messages to her cyberspatial rolodex -- becoming an unofficial town crier for the area's black professionals.
But Lighty eventually decided she needed to turn her volunteer work -- which took more and more time -- into a business. So she teamed with minority recruitment consultant Teddy Pierre to create TampaBayIn.com, an online resource planned as a cyberspatial hub for area African American, Hispanic and female professionals.
"A lot of people say there is no cohesive black community of professionals around here -- you look around, and where are they?" said Pierre. "But these people are often hidden in theor own isolated worlds -- and they just need a way to get together."
Surf to the TampaBayIn site, which launches today, and you'll see a wide array of categories for information -- with animated avatars at each page to explain the content and options available. Featuring forums for black people, Hispanics and women, the site offers listings for events around the area, business services, bulletin boards for electronic conversations, in-house columnists from the community and more.
Of course, organizers have aggressively targeted advertisers who may want to reach the community they hope to assemble. So there's lots of opportunities for business to place their logos and information throughout the site (somebody's got to pay for it all).
Pierre expects the success or failure of TampaBayIn.com as an online community to answer one question which has vexed those of us who have been active in diversity issues locally: does the Tampa Bay area really care about diversity?
"Everybody talks about it," he said. "But if people don't latch onto this, I just don't think diversity is a priority for them."
CBS Discovers Media Platforms in a Big Way
When Katie Couric was first hired to take over the CBS Evening News, none other than former Today show co-host Deborah Norville told me the strategy she expected: ""Katie will be the brand of CBS News...You will see her face attached to every CBS product out there," said Norville, who was fired from Today in 1991. "Katie has 15 years of history with people...That's the power of celebrity."
During the TV Critics Press Tour Sunday, CBS proved the truth in that prediction, announcing a strategy for spreading Couric's reports across webcasts, blogs, radio and even cellphones that makes you tired just reading it.
A short list:
Daily Digital Reports -- Couric will host and sometimes conduct three to four-minute interviews made available on CBSNews.com and to CBS Radio affiliates throughout the country.
Web-exclusive rundown -- Couric will give a quick rundown of the day's stories, viewable through CBSNEWs.com and Verizon VCast. The day's show will also be available for viewing on the CBS website.
Katie Blogs! - They're the third network to get on this, finally -- NBC's evening news blog celebrated its one-year anniversary recently -- but Couric will also headline a blog offering some behind-the-scenes chatter and extra material similar to what the other guys are doing. They say they will encourage viewer comments here, but I wonder what will happen when they get their first deluge of "Katie-is-a-bleeding-heart-liberal" flak.
Katie Goes to Radio! -- the first segment of the evening news will be made available to CBS Radio affiliates throughout the country, and Couric will do "Katie Couric Reports" -- a one-minute look at a top story made available to radio stations, as an audio and video podcast , as on-demand video on CBSNews.com and through Verizon VCast.
Which leaves me wondering: When's she going to find time to anchor the news? And when did developing the newscast of the future include such cutting-edge technology as a radio network?
And if you needed any further proof that Couric's highly-touted "listening tour" was a publicity tour in disguise, check out her evaluation of the viewer feedback she got, as reported by USA Today: "I got the distinct sense they want us to go a little bit deeper" with historical background and "how is this relevant to their lives. (And) we heard from many people the news is just too depressing. Obviously, we can't sugar-coat what's going on, but there are cases where we can be more solution-oriented."
Mmmm-hmmm. Well, that's not something anyone could have guessed while sitting in New York, to be sure.
Short Bits
-- My story about the local David taking on the TV ratings Goliath that is Nielsen Media Research -- St. Petersburg entrepreneur Frank Maggio -- runs today. He's got a TV channel debuting Aug. 1 backed by a ratings system he says can supplant Nielsen's. The biggest question hanging: Is this guy for real?
-- Bill Cosby is slated to headline a webcast forum Tuesday on black men
sponsored by the Kaiser Family Foundation, hosted by Harvard law professor Charles Ogletree and featuring everyone from Oakland's mayor-elect to the Washington Post reporters who helped assemble the newspaper's attention-getting "Being a Black Man" series.

Anne Hathaway is single (Hurray? Maybe? I dunno.)
Anne Hathaway has reportedly dumped her boyfriend Raffaello Follieri over the weekend. She got tired of things like being questioned by the IRS and swallowing balloons full of bank statements. So basically, Anne Hathaway hates true love. The Daily Mail reports
An insider tells the Mail Online that Hathaway made the painful decision to end their relationship because of the effects his controversial business dealings could have on her career.
"It's heartbreaking for her to dump him, and she's devastated that it's come to this, but she really didn't have a choice. His scandals were hurting her reputation."
Anne Hathaway apparently got smart (Swish!) and decided not to follow in the footsteps of Brittany Murphy. Who? Exactly.

TAMPA — Andy Kramer hopes to turn around a three-year trend when he goes before a United Way of Tampa Bay committee today.
Since 2007, United Way funding to the American Cancer Society in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties has dropped more than 80 percent.
Last year, the society absorbed the latest round of cuts without reducing services at the Hope Lodge, which provides free lodging to patients coming to Tampa for extended periods of cancer treatment. But it had to lay off employees.
"You can always rob Peter to pay Paul, but at the end of the day something's got to give," says Kramer, the society's area executive director for Hillsborough.
Welcome to a hard reality for some local charities. In a major shift, the United Way of Tampa Bay is focusing its support where it aims to have the most impact: helping children and poor families. But giving more to those programs means others get less.
Moreover, this change in philosophy comes as the recession hits charitable giving across the board. With donations down, the United Way of Tampa Bay's total allocations dropped 28 percent from its 2006-07 fiscal year to 2009-10.
For some charities, the new priorities translate to even bigger cuts.
The American Heart Association saw its local United Way funding drop from $570,500 to $72,500 in a single year. With the writing on the wall, it withdrew its request for any funds last year. Since 2006, the Centre for Women has lost nearly two-thirds of its funding for a program to help seniors.
"These are tough decisions," says United Way of Tampa Bay senior vice president Emery Ivery.
They are driven by data and shaped by several years of conversations with corporate donors and local agencies, United Way executives say.
After those discussions, the local organization wrote a four-part "impact agenda." Two main long-range goals are boosting high school graduation rates and helping struggling families become self-sufficient.
"There's not a business that doesn't want a more educated work force," says Diana Baker, president and chief executive officer of United Way of Tampa Bay.
The other two parts of the agenda consist of supporting organizations that provide a safety net to those in need and working with groups in two targeted neighborhoods — Sulphur Springs in Tampa and North Greenwood in Clearwater.
United Way Worldwide began moving toward an impact approach about nine years ago. Now it focuses on programs that promote education, financial stability and healthy behaviors.
More than 80 percent of United Way's local chapters have moved in that direction, too. Research shows an impact agenda not only addresses community problems, but helps the United Way raise money, said Sal Fabens, the director of public relations for United Way Worldwide. Donors want to see their money at work.
"Resources are finite," Fabens said. "We want to make deeper impacts on issues that are critical. In the past we tried to be all things to all people, and I think we realized that we can't have as big of an impact that way."
• • •
Phasing in the new agenda has brought some of the most far-reaching changes in the 80-plus years of the United Way of Tampa Bay.
Throughout, however, Kramer and other nonprofit executives generally say their relationship with the United Way has remained good.
"That's not a bad idea to have strategic planning and really determine how to get the most bang out of the buck," said Bruce Inverso, the American Heart Association's senior vice president of health strategies for the southeastern United States.
But the cuts have forced agencies to redouble their fundraising and make sure their own focus is on what matters most to them.
When it comes to making allocations, United Way executives say they support specific programs, not agencies. As they've introduced the changes, agencies have seen funding grow for some programs even as it dwindled for others.
If an agency's programs don't line up with the new priorities, the United Way works with the agency to see if it has another program that matches the impact agenda.
The United Way also considers whether organizations get state or federal money, though nonprofit executives say they are beset by funding cuts on all sides even as demand for their services rises.
United Way executives say they understand what agencies are going through. United Way Tampa Bay, which spends 14 percent of its funds on administration, has cut its staff from 63 to 45 employees during the recession.
• • •
While cutting back elsewhere, the United Way has invested more in programs that align with its goals.
One program, Ways to Work, has seen its funding more than double since 2007. It provides low- or no-interest auto loans to low-income adults who need a car for work, but only after they go through a program to teach them how to manage their money and budget for things like repairs.
"That has been shown to link to higher income, parent involvement in schools and a number of other areas that are connected to achieving financial stability," Ivery said. Plus the program boasts a 95 percent repayment rate.
Child care that helps working parents hold on to their jobs also has gotten a boost, but United Way administrators want more than just babysitting.
So it has supported a summer care initiative offered by nine agencies on both sides of Tampa Bay.
The program offers free child care from the end of one school year to the beginning of the next to low-income families. Children in the program also do academic work to help them retain what they learned in school the year before and are prepared for the coming school year. Plus, their parents are required to take courses in financial literacy.
It helped, said Carmen Rodriguez, 30, whose three children attended the summer care program at the Harbordale YMCA in St. Petersburg. She appreciated the counseling on avoiding credit card debt, and her kids loved the program.
Ultimately, the goal of such programs is to equip families so they might not need help in a couple of years, said Brian Deming, a co-founder of the Tribridge information technology and business consulting firm and vice chairman of the United Way of Tampa Bay's board.
"It's trying to break that cycle and not just keep providing the same services to the same people," he said.

Mexican Beers Jump the Border
Americans seeking the new and different are more frequently choosing imported labels.
Imported Mexican beer has taken the limelight in American consumers' tastes as these imports are increasingly stealing away market share from domestic companies, according to a report by MarketWatch.
The brewer of Tecate and Dos Equis -- Fomento Economico Mexicano S.A. -- recorded a 42 percent increase in export volume in the first quarter of 2006, attributed to strong U.S. sales. More than 17 million gallons of beer were exported that quarter, an increase from the 12 million gallons exported the first quarter of 2005, MarketWatch said.
Meanwhile, Grupo Modelo, maker of the Corona line, saw exports jump 20.5 percent in the first quarter of 2006 and 7.8 percent in the second, reported MarketWatch.
Domestic volumes for that same time period were in sharp contrast to the Mexican brewers. Anheuser-Busch and Molson Coors reported less than 5 percent growth in this year's first quarter. Anheuser-Busch, which owns 50 percent of Grupo Modelo, reported a 2.2 percent increase in domestic beer volume for the second quarter of 2006.
As the numbers show promise, Mexican brands are looking to expand northward.
"Mexican brewers had focused on the south [of the United States] and now they are looking to encompass more territory," Luis Martinez, Standard and Poor's Latin American beverage-sector analyst, told MarketWatch.
Mexican brewers currently hold more than 50 percent of the import market share, and the convenience store and grocery channels have seen sales of Mexican beer increase by 11 percent from last year, according to ACNielsen.
To aid in their U.S. expansion, Mexican brewers have enlisted new distributors, MarketWatch said. Femsa dropped InBev's subsidiary, Labatt USA, for Heineken USA, and has seen an increase in sales. Modelo has also switched distributors and teamed up with Constellation Brands for distribution into the U.S.
Both brewers market five different brands in the U.S., while other imports only import one or two, MarketWatch reported. "Mexican breweries have focused on reaching all types of consumers with different products: premium products, low price products … Now the results are really starting to show," Martinez said.

About the Creator
Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. After 4 years in Seattle, WA, getting a bachelor's degree in photography from the Univeristy of Washington, I commenced a dual role of professional musician and public relations director. A few years later I started selling real estate, and after 12 years of that, became an attorney, practicing in the Sacramento, California area. During my 40+ years in Sacramento, I started writing children's books, and took it up a bit more aggressively after adopting my son from Russia. He liked my stories, and we read so many books, I sometimes needed to fill in with new ones of my own. I look forward to the day when I can call writing my full-time career. I am currently working on a fiction novel about leprechauns aimed at middle school readers. Slow going, since I have to work for a living.

Feeling pressure is part of being a superhero. People who are in the business of saving other people or planets have to make hard decisions. It's not for the fainthearted. So what if Charlie Brown was chosen to be the Green Lantern? A reader of Comic Book Resources asked this question and artist Nick Perks illustrated the above response. Given Charlie Brown's nature, I don't think he'd fare so well. I'd probably have the same problem.

January Jones Is A Witch!
Here's January Jones outside Chateau Marmont Sunday night, and there's only two explanations for what the hell's happening with the lower half of her body: She's pregnant with another married man's baby or she's been one of those those messed up vampire chicks from Bram Stoker's Dracula who can twist their torsos completely around this whole time. Which actually makes the most sense because that's not something you leave your wife for. Cheat on with, but never leave for. "And now to do this from behind so I don't have to make eye con- JESUS! The power of Christ compels you! The power of Christ eh, who am I kidding? This is still happening."

More than 40 small and medium enterprises (SME) from Italy attended a seminar on development of the Vietnam-Italy business partnership, in Ho Chi Minh City on May 24.
Representatives from the two countries introduced the partnership and business opportunities for foreign investors.
The seminar heard that foreign direct investment in Vietnam is rising, especially in the production sector.
Vietnam boasts many advantages to attract foreign investors with stable socio-economic conditions, improved tax and legal regulations and cheap labour costs, they said.
Representative of the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation Patrick Gilabert said the seminar is part of an SME development project funded by the Italian government.
The project is designed to develop an international business partnership for the two countries' businesses and implement activities to promote trade, production and technical cooperation agreements.
The project has provided technical assistance to almost 80 Vietnamese textile and garment, footwear and wooden furniture businesses and organised 40 training courses and 10 fact-finding tours for Vietnamese businesses to conduct market surveys and visit production mills in Italy.
On this occasion, the Italian business delegation will conduct a market survey and engage in dialogue with Vietnamese businesses.

PUPILS in Stacksteads were inspired to consider their GCSE options after taking part in a series of workshops and talks including one from a 'Secret Millionaire'.
Carl Hopkins, who appeared on the Channel 4 programme in 2008, told Year 9 pupils at Stacksteads Community Sports College about his journey from humble beginning through his often difficult time in education and on to when he decided to follow his artistic dreams, which he then turned into a business success.
His tips for success included not being afraid to fail, always asking people for help and information and not waiting for life to come to you but going out and getting it yourself.
Bob Bower, from Architecture Workshops, also attended to run a hands-on team building creative session where pupils made 3.2-metre tall tetradedron using wooden dowels and elastic bands.
Careers co-ordinator Sara Ashworth said: "The special careers day was for Year 9 pupils who will soon be selecting their GCSE options."
Christopher Gansler, 14, said: "We have learnt how to make a building sturdy by using tetrahedrons and the session showed how the structure was much better for building than a square or a cuboid."

Editcam is a professional digital camera system manufactured by Ikegami and first introduced in 1995, available both as professional camcorders and modular dock recorders. Its most distinguishing feature is the recording medium: The FieldPak, which is a cartridge that contains an IDE hard disk with up to 120 GB of storage, or its compatible companion, the RAMPak, a flash memory module with up to 16 GB. A 120 GB capacity FieldPak translates to some 9 hours of DV25 video. Both, unlike tape based formats, allow random access to the video data, and both standalone Video cassette recorder (VCR) replacement players and computer adaptor racks are available for the Paks. This made the Editcam a pioneer in the field of non-linear acquisition, but the earliest incarnations of the Editcam were plagued with high power consumption and weight, and sold only about 50 units[1]. These problems were addressed with the Editcam II in 1999. The latest generation of the Editcam system, Editcam3, can record in the formats Avid JFIF, DV and optionally MPEG IMX and DVCPRO50. HDTV variants are now also available, which record in the Avid DNxHD format. Introduced at NAB 2005, the Editcam HD allows for video capture at 145 Mbit/s. Employing CMOS sensors, the camera record files natively in 1080i or 720P and at several bitrates.
The Editcam product family is a result of the development of CamCutter technology developed jointly by Ikegami and Avid Technology.

Texas Tow Truck Operator Dies On Duty, Honored With ProcessionApr 26th, 2010 | By Editorial Staff | Category: Headline News
A Texas tow truck driver died Wednesday, sickness April 21, unhealthy while helping to clear a truck wreck on the center median of Interstate 20, more about according to a news report.
Adam Lopez Jr., operator for Freddy's Garage in Ranger, was working to clear the wreck around 12:30 a.m., with the help of the Texas Department of Transportation and the Texas Department of Public Safety guiding traffic around the working crews. A motorist heading east left the road, entered the median and hit the wrecked truck just before hitting Lopez, the report states.
Lopez was taken to the John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth where he was pronounced dead at 5 a.m. Investigation into the accident is still ongoing.
Tow truck operators, friends and family gathered together the morning of Saturday April 24, before the funeral at Freddy's Garage to head over to the First Baptist Church in Ranger together. More than 300 people attended the service, according to the report. With the Ranger Fire Department coordinating, more than 35 tow truck and fire trucks created an honor guard along the route from the church to the cemetery.
Friends say Lopez was involved in several community activities, such as City Council, the board of directors of the Ranger Historical Society and was a volunteer firefighter with the Ranger Fire Department for the past 15 years, the report states.
Texas is one of the few remaining states that has not extended protection under the Move Over Law, which requires motorists to slow down and change lanes when emergency vehicles are working on roadways, to tow truck operators.

SENDAI – Takeya Nakamura hit a tiebreaking homer leading off the ninth inning Saturday, lifting the Seibu Lions to a 2-1 win over the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles to send his team into the Pacific League Climax Series for the fourth year in a row.
With their sixth consecutive win, the Lions were assured of at least third place to grab the final playoff berth for a meeting against the Chiba Lotte Marines in the first stage of the Climax Series starting Oct. 12. The winner of the best-of-three series will play PL champion Rakuten in the final stage beginning Oct. 17.
Four-time PL home run king Nakamura, who has been limited to just 24 games this season after surgery on his left knee last fall, lofted a 1-1 fastball from Eagles rookie Takahiro Norimoto (14-8) over the wall in left-center for the decisive blow — just his fourth homer this year.
"I was just hoping to make contact and help our team win," said Nakamura. "I haven't been hitting all too well, but sometimes I'm able to come through and contribute, so I'm happy about that."
The Eagles drew first blood on a Tadashi Ishimine sacrifice fly in the second but Seibu got even on Ryo Sakata's sacrifice fly two innings later at Kleenex Stadium.
Takayuki Kishi (11-5) tossed one-run ball over eight innings en route to winning his ninth consecutive decision and Hideaki Wakui, who has pitched in nine straight games, grabbed his sixth save with a scoreless ninth. PL winner Rakuten lost its third in a row.
Norimoto, who set an Eagles record this season for wins by a rookie, was making just his second relief appearance of the season.
"The team is really on a hot streak and we want to keep up this same momentum as we head into the playoffs," Nakamura said.
Hawks 3, Fighters 0
At Sapporo Dome, rookie right-hander Nao Higashihama threw his first career shutout, Seiichi Uchikawa homered and Fukuoka Softbank wrapped up its regular season on a winning note by ending a three-game skid.
Higashihama (3-1) allowed four hits, all singles, walked none and struck out 10. But fourth-place Softbank was denied a playoff berth after Seibu defeated Rakuten.
Hiroshi Kisanuki (9-8) took the loss for last-place Hokkaido Nippon Ham.
Marines 9, Buffaloes 4
At Chiba's QVC Marine Field, Toshiaki Imae went 3-for-5 with a homer and four RBIs to power Chiba Lotte past Orix.
Takuya Furuya (9-1) labored over five innings, allowing three runs and six hits while walking five and hitting a batter but got the win. Brandon Dickson (8-8) was chased after yielding five runs in two-plus innings.
Tigers 4, Giants 3
At Koshien Stadium, rookie Shintaro Fujinami allowed three runs in five innings, but was bailed out when Hanshin scored four runs in the eighth to beat Yomiuri in the farewell game for veteran outfielder Shinjiro Hiyama.
Hiroki Uemoto hit a three-run homer to tie it, and Giants errors allowed the go-ahead run to score.
BayStars 4, Dragons 3 (11)
At Nagoya Dome, Hitoshi Tamura's 11th-inning sacrifice fly lifted Yokohama over Chunichi in a game that saw outgoing slugger Takeshi Yamasaki, Japan's oldest active position player, play first base and bat cleanup for the Dragons.
Keeping with that theme, 48-year-old lefty Masahiro Yamamoto started for the Dragons, while BayStars ace, 39-year-old Daisuke Miura went for the visitors. The 44-year-old Yamasaki went 1-for-5 to finish his career with 1,834 hits and 403 home runs.
Swallows at Carp — ppd.

33% of Women Wouldn't Date an Unemployed Man
If you've been looking for a job, here's more incentive. Website It's Just Lunch conducted a survey and found that a third of women wouldn't go out with an unemployed man.
There is hope, however, for the romantically forlorn and jobless. 42% would consider it if the man in question had a plan to get a job in the first place.
Also, 4% said, unreservedly, yes, they would date a man without a job.
But why would unemployed men be considered lesser dates? The women who said no were concerned that they would have to pay for all the dates, or that the man's lack of funding would mean limited dates.
You know, the conclusion we're actually taking away from this is less than unemployed men don't interest women so much is that about a third of people are too shallow to pay for their own date.

June L. Long
7-5-25 to 1-2-14
Monday, January 13, 2014 4:00 PM
June L. Long
June L. Long passed away at Renown Medical Center in Reno, Nevada on Jan. 2, 2014. She was 88. She was the fourth child born to Hazel Luella Roark McAdams and Fred McAdams and had six siblings in total.
June was born on the family farm on Ustick Road in Meridian, Idaho on July 5, 1925. Her mother often told her that she was the last of the firecrackers to explode on that 4th of July holiday in 1925, and she was a firecracker until the end.
June attended the first and second grades of elementary school in Nampa, Idaho. When June was 8 her dad, in his job with Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company, was transferred to Weiser, Idaho. June remembers these as particularly happy days and always considered Weiser her home town. When June was 15 the family moved back to the farm on Ustick Road. The clouds of war were gathering and her parents, fearing what the war might bring, decided that the farm was a better place to provide for the McAdams brood. June enrolled in Meridian High School and graduated from there in 1943. She immediately took the civil service clerk typist test, passed on her first try and went to work in a variety of civil service jobs in the Boise area including the Department of Internal Revenue and the Veterans Administration. She also worked at Mountain Home Air Force Base during the war years.
In 1951 she met Eddy Hopfer at the Moore Hotel in Ontario, Ore. Sparks flew and they were married in a beautiful formal ceremony at St. John's Cathedral in Boise that same year. They moved to Burns, Ore., where Eddy was employed by Harley and Nona Hotchkiss on their ranch. Eddy and June had two children. Edward Hopfer Jr. (Bucky) was born in 1953. June became pregnant with Cindy in 1954. Eddy fell ill during this time and died in April. Cindy was born in September of the same year. During this time, through the sorrow of losing her husband and singularly raising two small children, June showed remarkable strength and courage. She went back to work in Burns and was a well loved fixture at the high school. She eventually married Geren W. Long in 1957. They were married 53 years. Geren's work with the Bureau of Land Management took the family to Vale, Ore., in 1962. They bought their much loved farm there and their son Clifford Alan Long was born in 1966. Geren subsequently took job transfers to Kanab, Utah and Reno, Nev., and June was there supporting the family at each move. During their years in Reno June embarked in a successful real estate career that lasted the next 30 years. She was 80 when she gave up her real estate license. Her real estate career included owning Blackaby Real Estate in Ontario, Ore., after they moved back to their farm in 1982.
During the years of moving around with Geren's various job assignments, June's ability to reach out with her naturally loving and open personality helped cultivate life-long friends wherever they lived. It never mattered to mom if she didn't know a soul in town or whether we were "the new family" on the block. Mom had a talent for making friends quickly. Her generous nature, non-judgmental viewpoints, loving acceptance of everyone and hilarious, quick wit and sense of humor served her well her entire life and was intact until the end.
June and Geren moved to Nampa, Idaho in 2001 after the sale of their farm in Vale. This allowed them to be closer to son Cliff and wife Annette and their children. Mom's new vocation was spoiling and loving all her grandchildren. Geren passed away in 2011. She continued to live alone until spring of 2013. Cliff and Annette relocated to the Seattle area with new jobs so June moved to Winnemucca to be closer to son Edward and daughter Cindy and their loving and supportive spouses, Sandy and Joe. She was living in Winnemucca at the time of her death.
June was a great cook, an amazing gardener, a champion floral arranger, superb and loyal friend and a wonderfully talented realtor. But, her main love was her family. Her husbands, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and a bevy of siblings, in-laws, nieces and nephews all were graced by her love and light. She made everyone feel special in their own way. We were blessed to have her for 88 years and the world was a better place for her being in it.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her first husband Eddy Hopfer, second husband Geren Long, her brothers Bobby McAdams, John McAdams, Hank McAdams and Thomas McAdams her sister Shirley Ann McAdams Carrier. She is survived by her Sister, Ruth McAdams Wilkins, son Edward Hopfer (Sandy), son Cliff Long (Annette), and daughter Cindy Hopfer Ulch (Joe). She is also survived by seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
The family wishes to extend their gratitude to the Winnemucca medical community including Sandra Deveny, APN-C and staff, Dr. Li and staff, Dr. Bengoa and staff and Dr. Jancar and staff for the compassionate care provided to our mom. To the emergency room staff, paramedic and ambulance corps staff at Humboldt General Hospital, the Winnemucca Police Department, and the staff at Renown Medical Center in Reno - we thank you for your gentle and loving care of our mom during her very last hours.
In lieu of flowers the family requests that you make a donation to the charity of your choice in June's name.
A memorial will be held in the Boise Valley in the spring with a reception to follow. Memories and condolences can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com.

Amanda Peet Signs for 2012
Emmerich's cast is filling up fast
Amanda Peet has signed up to join Roland Emmerich's 2012, as a highjumper who dreams of competing in London...darn! No, as the lead female role in a film about the end of the world, opposite John Cusack.
Apparently Peet will be playing Cusack's ex-wife, who's gone on to marry a rich man while Cusack drives a limo and tries to become a writer. We're guessing she got custody of the kid(s?).
Oliver Platt, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton and Danny Glover are all also signed up. We're going to go ahead and predict that Platt plays the rich new husband, but if Emmerich really wants to turn the screws on Cusack's character he'll give that role to the improbably handsome and pulled-together Ejiofor, who's far more likely to give Cusack enough of an inferiority complex to turn him from zero to hero and ensure that he reverses the entire Apocalypse and everyone lives happily ever after.
Filming's due to start in July, barring an actors' strike, with the release date set for July 10 next year. Incidentally, those of you already laying in tinned food and extra shotgun shells for 2012 might want to remember that the idea that the world will end that year in December is based on a flawed understanding of the Mayan Long Count calendar. At least, so Wiki assures us.
