Survey Reveals New Zealanders' Greatest Worries
News release
29 November 2012
Survey Reveals New Zealanders' Greatest Worries
Across all age groups, rising crime rates, insurance costs
and being able to retire comfortably are New Zealander's
top three worries
• More than a third worried about their personal health
• Hamiltonians found to be more worried than those living in Christchurch
• Wellington the nation's least worried city
A new survey on the health and wellbeing of New Zealanders has found that retired New Zealanders are more worried than any other group – including those living in Christchurch.
The survey of over 2000 people by Southern Cross Healthcare Group asked respondents to tick issues they were either 'worried' about, 'in between' on, or 'not worried' about from 11 topical issues.
Retired New Zealanders were found to be on average 13% more worried than the typical New Zealander.
Surprisingly, people in Hamilton reported a slightly greater number of worries on average than those living in Christchurch. Wellington was New Zealand's least worried city.
Rising crime rates, insurance costs and being able to retire comfortably are New Zealander's top three worries. This is despite Police figures showing reported crime for the year to July being at its lowest level in two decades. Nationwide, home and contents insurance premiums have risen substantially over the last year.
Those aged 40-49 were most worried about their ability to retire comfortably – with 60% worried, compared to 52% of the over 50s and just 36% of the under 30s. Household income did not significantly impact the number of people who were worried about this issue, with those in households earning over $100,000 per annum only slightly less worried (46% worried) than people in households with an annual income of under $50,000 (50% worried).
A large number of New Zealanders also harboured health-related worries. 44% of those surveyed said they were worried about their family's health, while 36% were worried about their own personal health.
Southern Cross Healthcare Group Chief Executive Officer Ian McPherson said being able to retire comfortably was an issue that would gain in prominence in coming years.
"As the population ages, and demand for healthcare rises, it's highly likely Kiwis will also need to take more personal responsibility for their elective healthcare costs. When so many New Zealanders have concerns about their own or their family's health, how we help people to provide for their current and future healthcare needs to be top of the country's agenda."
The survey found women were significantly more worried than men, and worry also increased with age.

Sourcefire, Tenable seek vulnerabilities passively
Both analyze a network by listen to traffic as it flows, revealing systems, topologies, vulnerabilities.
What's on your network? Sourcefire's Realtime Network Awareness and Tenable's Passive Vulnerability Scanner attempt to answer that question without leaving muddy footprints all over the network. Both use a technique called passive network analysis to listen to traffic as it flows by.
Archive of Network World tests
Subscribe to the Network Product Test Results newsletter
We tested RNA and PVS on a production network for more than a month. Overall, while both tools are fairly good at what they do, the tangible value for either product would be realized only in a big network. Security managers who need to monitor a large, dynamic network can probably gain significant value from these products, because they trim the number of intrusion-detection system (IDS) alerts that need to be investigated, and help detect system vulnerabilities. For smaller networks, the value proposition is not as strong, because other techniques, such as active scanning (see Active vs. passive scanning), give more accurate results in those networks.
Passive network-analysis tools are designed to pull information out of the network as the traffic flows by. Although the two tools we tested are similar in that they focus on network application inventory and vulnerability analysis, they have different design strategies.
With Tenable's PVS, the goal is to detect and report on system applications and vulnerabilities. Tenable is home to the popular Nessus active vulnerability-scanning freeware. PVS (originally called NeVO) is the passive complement to Nessus. The latter product works by performing active scans of systems using a wide variety of techniques ranging from pinging to logging into a system and looking at the file system and registry, but PVS does its detection without sending a single packet.
We tested PVS linked to Tenable's Security Center V3, a security-management tool used to integrate multiple vulnerability scanners - active, passive or a combination of both - and correlated vulnerability information with IDS and syslog data sent to Security Center by sensors and servers.
The goal of Sourcefire's RNA is to build host profiles for all the systems on the network and assist in prioritizing and analyzing IDS events. As home to the open source Snort IDS engine, Sourcefire has made a name for itself selling a commercial version of Snort along with Defense Center, which acts as a centralized management system and data analysis console for multiple IDS and RNA sensors. We tested it as part of a larger Sourcefire installation with an IDS sensor and Defense Center V4.5.1
These products will be of greatest use in larger networks with multiple subnets and 1,000 stations or more. For example, Tenable's PVS provides less information than an active vulnerability scanner. However, PVS carries none of the risks of system crashes or the political problems of active scanning - problems that are magnified in large networks. PVS is also arguably more effective than active scanning for large networks, because it detects changes in configuration and topology as they happen. RNA brings the same advantage to the ever-changing face of an enterprise network by providing a real-time network inventory function that directly supports the process of managing IDS alert information.
Test results
Both products had good performance as far as keeping up with network traffic and providing a lot of information about the systems talking on the network. Both also made errors in their analysis.
We pulled out 50 high vulnerabilities, as reported by Tenable's PVS, and researched each one. With an out-of-the-box, untuned configuration, the error rate is pretty high. We found PVS was wrong almost half the time in identifying vulnerabilities. Some of the problems were systemic, such as in misidentifying mail servers. For example, PVS identified one of our antispam appliances as running outdated versions of Lotus Notes, Mutt and Outlook Express e-mail clients. In reality, it wasn't running any e-mail client. PVS had seen the banner fly by in a mail message and marked the system as a client.
The nice thing about PVS is that you suppress these kinds of errors quickly by creating a dynamic host group of mail servers, an easy operation, and then telling PVS to ignore this vulnerability for that kind of server.
Other errors were not so easily explained or worked around. For example, PVS misidentified mail servers as running a vulnerable IMAP server from an entirely different vendor than was the case. PVS incorrectly picked out another of our antispam appliances as running an unpatched version of Mac OS X - but did identify correctly the Macs that had not been patched either. And even though PVS properly identified OS X servers, it assigned high-priority Windows vulnerabilities to them.
As we tuned PVS over time, we were able to fix many identification errors and got the real error rate down to just less than 20% for high-priority vulnerabilities. In a more static network, the error rate could be taken even lower, although at the risk of not catching new systems and changes in the network.
Trying to determine the error rate for Sourcefire's RNA gave us greater difficulties, because each part of the results RNA came up with for each host had a different class and frequency of errors.
RNA breaks out services, vulnerabilities and other host attributes separately, and tries to map the network by identifying bridges and routers. In our testing, RNA's topology-mapping strategy showed flaws, finding only five of 18 bridges in our network and misidentifying an additional 12 systems (including an American Power Conversion UPS) as bridges.
In terms of host identification, we audited RNA's results for all 120 systems on one network segments and found that RNA was right 42% of the time; found a running system but marked it as unknown 49% of the time; and was outright wrong 9% of the time. It called one of our HP switches and two of our Juniper firewalls HP Laserjet printers, and identified one of our antispam appliances and a Nokia firewall as IBM AIX systems. RNA did a better job in listing server applications, finding Web, mail and Secure Shell servers running on nonstandard ports on a regularly accurate basis.
Although RNA does include some vulnerability-analysis tools, they're far from useful at this stage, and the listings RNA provided were extraordinarily inaccurate. For example, once RNA had identified one of our servers as running particular versions of Linux and Apache, it immediately attached 229 vulnerabilities to the server - even though only a few were applicable. If Tenable uses an "innocent until proven guilty" approach to marking vulnerabilities, Sourcefire considers every system "guilty until proven innocent." For the list to be accurate, you have to manually go in and mark each of the incorrect vulnerabilities - an inconceivably onerous task in a large network.
Overall usefulness
RNA and PVS are outstanding tools to help sort through immense mounds of data and bring order to a large, chaotic network. To extract that value, however, you need to look closely at both when integrated with their respective management consoles.
We put an unpatched system inside our firewall and let RNA and PVS learn about it over a period of one week. When we opened a hole in the firewall to let the world start attacking this system, RNA's Defense Center immediately correlated an IDS alert of a Windows Remote Procedure Call attack with the vulnerable operating system, and then elevated the alert to the top of the list of attacks to worry about. We did the same test using a Unix system, and Sourcefire demoted the attack, pushing it down in the list.
A purist might say this result is deceptive, because we have no guarantee the most significant attacks always will be identified and promoted. That's very true. RNA is good at identifying certain operating systems and is especially good at identifying the operating systems most likely to be attacked and compromised - it misidentified only one of our Windows servers over the entire 45-day test. So the benefit of combining RNA with IDS alerts is that at least some of the alerts that really matter will be highlighted. The reality of IDS alerts, however, is that there are usually too many to be examined anyway, which means any help the network manager can get from an IDS console is going to be a big improvement.
RNA offers another benefit. Although you can't correct misinformation that RNA has learned, you can assign device-importance information, such as giving a high priority to your servers and a low priority to systems in a test lab. These priorities also can be used by Defense Center in assigning weights to different IDS events.
Defense Center is far advanced from our last look at it two years ago, but security managers hoping to integrate RNA with their IDS should be prepared for a hefty learning curve. Defense Center brings a great deal of power to a security analyst through its Web-based GUI, but in a counter-intuitive and difficult-to-use way.
Tenable's Security Center makes it possible to combine the passive information of PVS and any active scan information you might be willing to gather from Nessus. Together, these can be managed, reported on, analyzed and even trended over time. Although Tenable can use vulnerability information to help in IDS event management, the real sweet spot for this product is in networks where vulnerability information is an important part of security policy.
As a superconsole for multiple IDS sensors and other security devices, Security Center uses vulnerability information along with other correlation data, such as firewall connection logs and IDS events, to filter alerts from other devices. For example, if we picked one day, our IDS and firewalls sent 8,263 alerts to the Security Center. By punching the correlated button, we narrowed that to a list of two alerts correlated among multiple logs.
The IDS management features of Security Center are fairly immature at this stage, however. For example, it lets you look only at IDS events across a 24-hour period or less. If you want to search a whole week, you have to do seven separate searches. Also, alerting and reporting tools are barely present in Security Center, and the Web-based management tool is missing the important data summary and drill-down facilities needed when the number of elements viewed is large.
A good buy?
Sourcefire's RNA and Tenable's PVS don't directly compete, because they meet separate needs. If you have a large network and are using Sourcefire's IDS and Defense Center, then adding RNA is a no-brainer. If you've got another vendor's IDS in the mix and are drowning in alerts, because your network moves too quickly for you to tune the IDS properly, a Sourcefire-based solution with RNA might solve your problems. Buying RNA for its vulnerability-analysis features at this stage in the product's life cycle would be a mistake.
If you use Tenable's Nessus for active scanning of your network and cannot get the quality of information you need, or if you are realizing that your scanning efforts are not effective, then PVS (along with Security Center) is the ideal complement and an easy upgrade to justify. If you're using a different active-scanning approach, jumping to Tenable might or might not be a good idea. Because the Tenable solution doesn't necessarily include all the alerting, reporting and database-management tools of competing products, your choice is harder. Tenable certainly can improve the quality and effectiveness of your vulnerability-analysis tools, but if you're giving up other critical features, the trade-off should be considered before jumping ship.

Whether you are applying or removing it, grout is messy stuff. Wet grout sticks to tools and buckets. Dry grout crumbles into chunks and powder that get everywhere. To avoid having to discard grout-caked tools or scratching your tile with abrasive dust, dispose of the grout as soon as possible. On big jobs, take time to dispose of grout waste whenever you take a work break. Then make one final disposal run when the project is completed.
Things You'll Need
- Bucket
- Water
- Garbage bags
Dispose of wet grout on your tools by dipping them repeatedly in a plastic bucket filled with water. Wipe off the grout with your fingers. Rinse wet grout covered rags in the same way. Never use running water in the sink.
Pour grout waste water or wet grout out into the yard. Allow it to air dry on the soil. Scoop up the hardened grout, bag it or throw it away.
Place grout chips in a garbage bag, knot it and place it in the trash.
Lift grout dust with a broom or hepa-filter vacuum. Empty the filter or dustpan into a garbage bag, knot it and throw it away.
Mop residual waste grout up with clean water and a well-wrung sponge mop. Dispose of the waste water in the yard following the method described in step two.

The place:the transformation_ this sector of the city in recent years has been a change both in structure and in its urban landscape. The transformation occurs when the city underwent an expansion to the north of Bogota and to cover housing units had the need to move from two-story single-family homes to multifamily buildings in height.
The search: The characterization_ within this area, where a large number of residential buildings is a quest for power generated close to a project that could be easily identified by the user and the inhabitants of the sector, but without breaking sharply cityscape sector. To this end we studied the industry benchmark, finding a visual consistency in treatment, lack of contrasts in volume management, and the singularity in the handling of materials.
The procedure: the envelope_ having a limiting (plot area and a tight budget) we saw the task of finding an identity outside the building, to generate a response that identification by the user. The decision was made to generate a rate of pieces that give the illusion of movement (allegro) in each of the floors and thus compose in groups of 3 different levels, which saw them separately each other looks different together but generating a structure of rhythms.
The treatment: the materiality_ took into account the materiality of the nearby projects, since the project seeks to tone and harmony with the urban landscape and this is classified two types of core materials that are applied to the project. The generated vacuum (ethereal) such as glass, aluminum, and which constitute the full (heavy) as brick and concrete.

Every year Lunasol releases beautiful eyeshadow palettes for the fall, encompassing a range of sultry and shimmery eyes. Being a collector of Lunasol eyeshadow palettes, it was pretty much guaranteed that I would pick something up from the Aurorize Collection. 05 Contrast Variation offers 5 warm-toned neutral shades to create a rustic coppery eye.
I like to alternate my looks when I go out. Sometimes opting for a softer look or a daring look depending on how I feel. Last night I didn't want any sort of extra attention because I was the only chick hanging out with a bunch of guys. I wanted to look polished and blend in with the blokes. Does that make any sense?
If you use all these shades in this palette, you can create a neutral smokey eye. Adding fake lashes will add more points to sultry look. I decided to go with my usual Dior Extase Mascara, which volumizes and gives a fake lash effect.
Lunasol traditionally packs alot of glitter in their eyeshadow palettes. If you like more of a satin or matte finish, Lunasol would not be your brand. I appreciate Lunasol eyeshadows when I want to focus more to the eyes, and give a shimmery dimension which you otherwise not get from other Western cosmetics. I find it beautiful to wear to the office but some may find the glitter quite distracting.
The texture of these shadows are not as soft as the older releases. However, the brush picks the powder up easily.
I love the dark blue shade, because I can use this to extend my lashline. On the other hand, I'm not too fond of the shade to the top left corner, because the warm tones actually looks quite odd to my cool toned skin colour.
I'm on the fence with the middle silver shade. It's nice to add a little bit of glitter to the eye, but I find that there's so much fall out that it's mandatory to put some loose powder under the eye.
|Natural light
I would have loved this palette more if it was more cool-toned. But nevertheless, it's a wearable everyday palette if you like warm toned neutrals.

Council approves parking lot plan
A compromise has been reached for rebuilding Alexandria's biggest parking lot - the Fillmore lot between 5th and 6th Avenue.
At a special meeting last Thursday, 15 out of the 19 business owners supported an option that's $7,000 less than the city's original proposed assessment of $234,000.
The Alexandria City Council approved the compromise at its meeting Monday night.
The approved design doesn't contain as much green space as the first proposal, which drew a thumbs down from many business owners when the council presented the plans last month.
The compromise also omits the "center plaza" or concrete area that the city proposed to build between the parking lot and businesses' rear entrances.
It does, however, retain a sidewalk that customers could use to walk from business to business without having to step out into traffic in the alley.
The compromise, referred to as "Option C," calls for a total of 135 parking spaces - eight more than the original "Option A" plan.
There are currently 154 spaces in the Fillmore lot. Some spaces will be lost in order to bring the lot up to code for handicap accessible spaces. The other spaces will be taken up by trees or landscaping that are also required under city code.
Downtown business owners also considered but rejected an even more scaled-back plan, "Option B." At an estimated cost of $214,000, it was the cheapest route. It would have provided the barest amount of green space and four more parking stalls than Option C.
The total cost of the project is estimated at more than $412,000. The city and its utility, Alexandria Light and Power, would cover about 40 percent of it.
Property owners in the central business district would pay the rest through assessments, based on how close the business is to the lot, how big their building is, and whether the business is providing its own parking.
According to preliminary estimates, the assessments on the 11 businesses with rear entrances to the Fillmore lot would range from $1,020 to $9,690. Combined, those businesses would cover about 22 percent of the total assessment; other downtown property owners, around 90 of them, would share in the rest of the cost.
City leaders emphasized that the figures are still rough and will change depending on how the bids come in. A public hearing about the assessment amounts will take place July 28 at City Hall at 7:15 p.m.
A similar assessment approach is expected to be used when the city improves the two other city lots sometime in the future.
The Fillmore lot will be completely removed and resurfaced. Overhead electric and cable lines would be buried underground and a new watermain would be installed so businesses would have their own independent lines and sprinkler system capability.
The alley would remain a one-way but vehicles would be able to enter or exit every parking row from the alley or from Fillmore Street.
The city hopes to start the project after Labor Day and complete it this construction season.

Kevin Pollak has been cast in CBS' Beverly Hills Cop pilot, from Shawn Ryan, Eddie Murphy and Sony Pictures TV. The hourlong project, a continuation of the movie franchise, centers around Axel Foley's police officer son Aaron (Brandon T. Jackson), who takes down the criminal elements of the rich and famous in Beverly Hills. Pollak, repped by Buchwald/Fortitude and Evolution, will play Rodney Daloof, the irritating and incredibly risk-adverse in-house attorney for the Beverly Hills Police Department, a stickler for rules and a loud mouth. Like Jackson and Murphy, who will guest star in the pilot, Pollak comes from a standup background.
Kevin Pollak Joins CBS' 'Beverly Hills Cop'
9 Comments
After watching Morton & Hayes, I was thinking about how it's such a shame that Kevin Pollak will never be seen again. And now this. Great casting decision.
Eddie Murphy and now Kevin Pollak?? Send this one straight to series!
Hour long? Christ this is gonna fail. Bring back Reinhold
Unless Eddie Murphy re-ups to series regular, I don't see this show getting a back-end pickup.
Better find room for Taggart and Rosewood!
Awesome! Love Kevin Pollak!
I hope Judge is the next casting announcement for this pilot…
Agreed! You CAN'T do the Beverly Hills Cop re-boot without a big part from the Judge. Not just a cameo either, I think the more consistency this show has from the original the better and better it is going to be! Plus Judge is super talented…hello Close Talker!
I guess if nothing else it will be chatted up on chat show

A letter from an anonymous homewrecker informs three women that one of their husbands is unfaithful. Each of the wives recall their failed marriage in a series of witty flashbacks.
A sophisticated comedy-soap from the very arch writer-director (with an emphasis on the former) Joseph L. Mankiewicz, who carried off Best Screenplay and Best Director Oscars for this in 1950.
A homewrecking bitch goddess (wryly voiced by Celeste Holm, but never seen) writes to Jeanne Crain, Ann Sothern and Linda Darnell, announcing that she's skipping town with one of their husbands, prompting flashbacks that expose their shaky marriages to Jeffrey Lynn, Kirk Douglas and Paul Douglas.
Played in high Hollywood style, with satiric jabs at social climbing, small-town pettiness, chain stores and mindless radio programming, this also boasts an array of fine performances, especially from the womenfolk.
High-flown Hollywood at its best.

What a Pair: Lip Sync From Senna Cosmetics
If coveting a product is sin, lock me away forever! Senna Cosmetics released a two-in-one lip gloss and lipstick product called Lip Sync ($24) a few weeks ago. These glossy, creamy, and shimmery tubes have my heart going pitter-patter and my eyes wide with excitement.
The concept is much like the Dual Ended Lip Color and Plumping Glossy Tints from Sonia Kashuk's past Summer collection, but these are far richer, and they contain shimmer. Plus, they have an enticing almond biscotti flavor, and the texture is significantly less sticky. Lip Sync is available in three complementary shades, and my absolute favorite is A La Mode — a pinky-peach lipstick paired with a shimmery peachy-pink gloss. However, all of the shades can be worn alone or mixed and matched together.
For more details about all three lip duos,
- A La Mode is a combination of rosy-peach lipstick and shimmery peachy-pink gloss.
- Paris Pink is a rose-colored lipstick paired with a shimmery, pale pink lip gloss.
- Stunning houses an earth-toned deep bronzey-coral lipstick on one end and a true gold lip gloss on the other.

Dimwit to 911 Operator: Put Out My Personal Fire
Subscribe to 105.7 The Hawk on
Yes, it's exactly what you think.
A guy needs sexual relief and what better way to get it quickly than calling 911 for immediate assistance?
According to an online article, "a Florida man is accused of calling 911 to ask for female deputies to respond to his home for sexual gratification."
Jail records show Joshua Basso was arrested on seven counts of making false 911 calls.
Is it any wonder that 911 operators get so sick of people wasting their time they react like the guy making the joke in the news story above?
What's the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard about someone making a 911 call?
If you were a 911 operator, what would you say to the sexually frustrated guy?
THIS is gonna be good.

It's nice to see DRM come stumbling down, but that doesn't exactly mean it's the end of file protection as we know it. Microsoft had patent 7,266,697 approved last week that would essentially replace DRM on music files with a watermark.
The patent was filed back in 2004 by Darko Kirovski and Henrique Malvar, who both work at Microsoft Research. The watermark technology doesn't encrypt files like a typical DRM does nor does it prevent the unauthorized use and distribution of files. What it's actually used for is to identify the owner, and if a file is illegally distributed that information would serve as a digital fingerprint that points back to the original purchaser.
Like all software there has got to be a way for this to be hacked, but the patent does describe what Microsoft believes to be a nearly foolproof solution:
Unlike printed watermarks, which are intended to be somewhat visible, digital watermarks are designed to be completely invisible, or in the case of audio clips, inaudible. Moreover, the actual bits representing the watermark must be scattered throughout the file in such a way that they cannot be identified and manipulated. And finally, the digital watermark must be robust enough so that it can withstand normal changes to the file, such as reductions from lossy compression algorithms.
Apple has already started doing something similar where they embed the owner information into DRM-free songs purchased on iTunes. Apple didn't, however, go to such extravagant lengths to embed the data in the song, and software such as JHymn is supposed to be able to remove it.

Pasco Seven Springs Middle prepares to require uniforms
Students at Seven Springs Middle School in Trinity could find themselves wearing uniforms next fall. They'd be the first in Pasco County to face such a restrictive dress code.
Their parents and administrators have been discussing the idea of mandatory uniforms for a few months now, according to PTSO minutes. The January minutes indicate that the move is close to certain, with a town hall meeting planned for March and uniform preorders to take place in April.
This isn't a total surprise.
Principal Chris Dunning told the Tampa Bay Times in September that he was exploring this option, after coming under fire for having students wear "out of dress code" t-shirts when they came to school dressed inappropriately in his judgment. Superintendent Kurt Browning said Seven Springs and other schools had to stop using these "shame shirts," as some called them, because they did not reflect the "culture of caring" he sought to promote.
But now the conversation has reached a point at Seven Springs that it has caught more parents' attention. And at least one is not pleased.
Mary Black, whose son attends Seven Springs, last week sent Browning a 5-page letter criticizing the school's handling of its plans to move to uniforms, and the idea of uniforms itself. "Truthfully," Black wrote, "I believe that the only thing wearing uniforms solves at a public school is dress code violations, misdirected responsibility and parental apathy."
District spokeswoman Linda Cobbe said the district has no overarching policy governing student uniforms. She expected Pasco would likely follow Hillsborough County's rules stating that parents may opt out of uniforms by signing a waiver.

Indiana County Commissioners approved development of trails and recreation facilities
Indiana County commissioners on Wednesday approved a plan for development of a 320-mile corridor of trails and recreation along waterways from Pittsburgh to Harrisburg.
In Indiana County, the plan is intended to promote tourism and improve bicycle and pedestrian access along the Kiski River, said chief planner Jeff Grim of the county's Office of Planning and Development.
"The greenway plan is another opportunity to draw and connect the rails-to-trails network in Western Pennsylvania," Commissioner Rod Ruddock said after the meeting. "It also demonstrated the cooperative nature of the agencies and counties involved in improving these trailways to benefit the citizens of our county."
Grim said the program will help with state funding opportunities.
"State officials want to maximize the bang for their buck and want to know they're helping as many people as possible when they make an investment," he said.
In addition, commissioners approved several contracts for the Department of Children and Youth Services, among them retaining department solicitors Samuel Clark and Jennifer Szalkowski at $95 per hour. Contracts for attorneys Michael Clark and Mark Bolkovan, who will represent children during dependency proceedings, were approved at a rate of $70 per hour.
County officials also recognized the county's 4-H program with a proclamation.
"The 4-H community is a very, very important educational program for the youth of Indiana County," Ruddock said. "We like to recognize those that are involved in the program and the contribution that 4-H makes to the county, particularly when we have such a strong agricultural base in Indiana County."
Indiana County 4-H ambassadors who attended the meeting to accept the proclamation were Jesse Isenbergy, 15; Alexis Elgin, 16; and Mary Ann Ostach, 16.
There are 708 youth members of the program countywide and 66 adult and teen volunteer leaders.
Commissioners announced:
• The Marion Borough polling location has moved from the fire hall to the community park at 22823 Route 403 Highway.
• The last day to register to vote is Oct. 9. Residents can register to vote by calling 724-465-3852. The last day to apply for an absentee ballot is Oct. 30.
• The courthouse will be closed Oct. 8 for Columbus Day.
The next county commissioners meeting is 9 a.m. Oct. 10.

CADDIS Volume 2: Sources, Stressors & Responses
Temperature & biotic condition in urban streams
Biotic responses associated with increased temperatures in urban streams include (but are not limited to):
- ↓ total abundance, richness or diversity
[Sponseller et al. 2001]
- ↓ EPT abundance, richness or diversity
[Sponseller et al. 2001, Wang & Kanehl 2003]
- ↓ quality of biotic indices
[Wang & Kanehl 2003, Walters et al. 2009]
- ↓ abundance, biomass, richness or diversity
[Wang et al. 2003 (Fig 29), Stranko et al. 2008, Helms et al. 2009]
- ↓ quality of biotic indices
[Wang et al. 2003]
Coldwater fishes such as salmonids are among the taxa most affected by temperature increases. For example, Runge et al. (2008) found that the survival of stocked rainbow trout in the Chattahoochee River, Georgia, was negatively related to the amount of time water temperatures exceeded 20°C (Fig 30), and that fish dispersed from warmer downstream reaches to cooler upstream reaches.
It should be noted, however, that other studies have found little or no relationship between water temperature and biota in urban streams (Kemp & Spotila 1997, Walters et al. 2009)—and as with all urbanization-associated stressors, it often is difficult to determine which of these often correlated stressors are driving biotic responses.

to the website of Allegheny Places, the official Allegheny County comprehensive plan.
Allegheny Places, adopted in November 2008, is Allegheny County's award winning comprehensive land use plan.
What is a County Comprehensive Plan? Counties are required by state law to adopt a land use and growth management plan which establishes broad goals and criteria to guide municipalities in the preparation of their plans.
Allegheny Places meets the requirements of state law - but is so much more! Allegheny Places is a unique blueprint for a sustainable future envisioned by the citizens of the County, where:
ACED's Planning Division would be happy to meet with your municipality or organization to talk about Allegheny Places. Just give us a call at 412-350-1030.
Planning Division and the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) are exploring ways in which Allegheny Places can support the Plan for a Healthier Allegheny initiative, through updated land use policies and innovative strategies that municipalities can use to increase opportunities for physical activity and access to healthy food in their communities.
Interest in an "implementable" approach to comprehensive planning is on the rise – an encouraging trend. Implementable comprehensive plans evolve from a process of active community involvement designed to create tangible results. The community identifies its most key issues, and determines realistic and actionable ways to address them. Some communities started implementing their plan before it was even finished! For more information, look under Implementable Comprehensive Plans in the Toolbox.
Allegheny County has an active transportation plan. Completed in 2010, Active Allegheny provides a wealth of information for communities seeking to integrate non-vehicular modes, such as walking and biking, into the transportation system. The plan provides a blueprint for improved health and improved access to connect our communities, work sites, schools, attractions, and homes. Click on Quick Links below to see the plan. Call Ann Ogoreuc, Manager of Transportation Initiatives, at (412) 350-4549 if you have any questions.

It's another unusually cold morning, but normal March weather is in sight.
Most of Tampa Bay, excluding Pinellas County, woke up to a freeze warning early Friday that would last until 8 a.m., said Bay News 9 meteorologist Juli Marquez.
Temperatures were around the upper 30s and mid 40s about 6:40 a.m. Friday, with Tampa at 41 degrees and St. Petersburg at 48. Wesley Chapel and Brandon had freezing temperatures, and Brooksville was at 27 degrees.
The weather forced strawberry farmers to turn on their sprinklers, a standard practice for a one- or two-night freeze.
Carl Grooms, owner of Fancy Farms in Plant City, showered his strawberry plants for several hours to coat them with a protective ice layer. There was heavy frost on his farm overnight, so he showered his strawberry plants from 2 a.m. Friday until 7 a.m.
"It eventually went on down to 28 degrees," he said.
There was some fog around the Interstate 4 corridor, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
The afternoon should climb to about 60 degrees, she said. It will still be breezy, especially around the coast, but the winds have calmed to about 10 miles per hour.
"It's not going to be quite as cool as the last two afternoons," Marquez said.
Still, the chilly weather is far from the day's average high of 75.
It will get cold again Friday night, dropping down to the upper 30s and mid 40s around Tampa Bay.

Long-time Edinburg residents will remember Ben and Velma Uhrig and their family. They lived on S.R. 14, between our orchard and the cemetery. Ben was a farmer and Velma had been a home economics agent with the Ohio State University Extension office. They were active in farming and gardening organizations while they were here.
Ben and Velma moved to Florida in 1978. Ben died about a month ago in Leesburg. Velma is living at the Charlotte Mayfield Retirement Center in Leesburg and is in fairly good health, according to her daughter, Jean E. Richards of Alliance.
Their children and their spouses are Mary and Lee Bradbury of Punta Gorda, Fla., Betty and Tim Taylor of Leesburg, Fla., Jean and Larry Richards of Alliance and John and Betsy Uhrig of Charleston, S.C.
My daughter, Marty, was born on Marys third birthday so they often observed their day together. The Uhrig girls sang together and often presented programs for local groups. We have happy memories of the family.
Martha and Harold Bradfield have returned to their home after spending the winter months in Port Charlotte, Fla. They attended the Portage County Picnic while they were in the Sunshine State and entertained several Edinburg residents, including Donna and Bill Kibler, and Frank Wass.
Treva Johnson of Ellijay, Ga., is visiting her mother, June Johnson, this week.
Betty Dickerhoof is at home again after spending about six weeks in the hospital. She is recuperating from her surgery and pneumonia and is feeling much stronger. Her daughter-in-law, Dee Dickerhoof of Groveport, is spending a couple of weeks with her.
The Missions Committee of the Edinburg United Church will collect items for the migrant workers at Hartville, beginning April 5. Materials such as towels, wash cloths, soap and paper products will be welcome.
The annual Trash, Treasure and Treat Sale will be held at the United Church on April 5.
A craft night will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Monday in the fellowship room of the United Church. This activity is in preparation of the annual bazaar and turkey dinner on Oct. 25. Workers will be welcome and they may bring items such as yarn, crochet hooks, needles, scissors, materials for patch work, buttons, hot glue guns and poly-fill. Any ideas for projects may be brought also.

A good book should leave you... slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it. ~William Styron, interview, Writers at Work, 1958
It's been said by both contestants and producers in interviews from seasons past that penalties are assessed FAR more frequently than we see. The only time an assessed penalty is aired is when it changes the race order, but that doesn't mean that they're not happening.Originally Posted by jadewarlock;3411797;
Until I see the episode, I'm taking Luke's pushing with a grain of salt. People's peripheral vision is not always super sharp to begin with, and Luke does have a disadvantage of not hearing footfalls. It's possible - I will not say guarantee - that he elbowed her by mistake as it looked like to me they both got there at the same time, he opened it up elbows out, and she got hit.Originally Posted by maude~flanders;3411822;
This doesn't excuse his behavior in the fight at the mat afterward - there is a way to handle oneself without the violence hearing or not - but it might be a problem too. We'll have to wait and see.
It's the brothers' own fault for not following the rules. I'm sure that the producers give each of the teams a quick debriefing of what they should expect to follow on the race. Everyone else seems to have followed these rules pretty well. The brothers have taken it upon themselves.Originally Posted by MHcarrollton;3411758;
The rude behavior is all coming from Jaime though. That's the reason why I feel bad for Cara; she gets all the same hatred that her partner may deserve while she herself does nothing. I still like Cara. Jaime... not so much.Originally Posted by ducky2;3411814;

I watched the preview on line twice and I never saw Luke elbow any one. Both people looked equally aggressive trying to get to clues in the clue box. I thought in the second incident the lady was quiet rude as she blocked Luke getting access to the clue box while she attempted to read her clue. I think the girls are equally aggressive they are just trying to get away with it because they are girls. They looked pretty self righteous about to.Originally Posted by jadewarlock;3411958;

I like Cara as well - I just didn't know who was who so directed my post at both of them. Unfortunately, though they are a team, and probably are not leaving the best impression of Americans to those they come in contact with, all because of Jaime's mouth. That's too bad.
Check the first incident again. Luke and Jen were running side by side towards the clue box, but Luke ended up getting a better position to grab the clue first. But as he did, he raised his arm into Jen's face. I even provided a screencap in Kisha/Jen's thread.Originally Posted by Bearcata;3412248;
In the second incident, Luke didn't seem intentional. They were both running side by side again, but this time, Jen reached the box first. But it looked like they were running down a slope, so Luke might have lost his balance, causing him to crash into Jen and tip her over. So of course, Jen was going to mad because not only did he elbow her face (and not say sorry, but I'll wait 'til the episode to see if he does apologize), he also crashed her into the box (even if it was unintentional).
These little incidents aren't so bad in my eyes. The behavior that Luke possesses at the mat is what grosses me out. He and his mom get mad at Jen for calling him a bitch, but what does he do in retaliation? Do the same thing.
But you know, I'll wait until the actual episode to pass any real judgment. This is all just coming from a preview.

Yes...we actually saw that at the beginning of this leg. The stuntmen had an hours worth of penalties, but left over 3 hours after the first team...which made zero sense and TPTB didn't bother to explain it to us silly sheep.Originally Posted by jsciv;3411957;
looks like jen and kisha go off on luke and use the b word.they look bigger than him and ger mad when he beats them to the box i think.
Overall what does it really matter. It's a race, everyone's adrenaline is up everyone wants to be first to the clue box, although I think it is more important to be first to the mat at the pitstop especially on the final leg, there is always a lot of jostling, feet, elbows, whatever, this is not new so why all the talk about inappropriate behavior? It happens every leg during every season.

Fernando Alonso is expecting to be 'in the hunt' in the German Grand Prix, even though the Scuderia was not in a position to challenge for pole position.
Ferrari went tactical in the top-ten shootout - despite the fact Alonso's team-mate, Felipe Massa had been quickest in Q1 and Q2 - and ran both its drivers' on the harder medium compound tyres. With the rest of those setting a time in Q3 on the soft tyres, the Maranello-based outfit is now hoping to get pay back on race day, although as a consequence both Alonso and Massa will start on row four, with the latter ahead of his team-mate.
"The strategy we used today was dictated by looking at our average qualifying performance, given that pole is not yet within our grasp and the two scenarios were either starting fifth or sixth on the Soft tyres or start sixth or seventh on the Mediums," explained Alonso, who qualified eighth in the end.
"We won't know the true worth of our choice now until tomorrow. [But] maybe here it's not too important to start from the front because the Soft tyre shows very high degradation and so, from lap 8 onwards the run of pit stops will begin and traffic will build up. At that point we will have to push like if they were all qualifying laps.
"All weekend we have been off the pace by an average of six tenths, but compared to Silverstone we can say we are back to normal, capable of fighting in the lead group. Of course, we still need to improve a lot, but in the race we think we can be in the hunt, without forgetting that, regardless of the tyres and the starting positions, it's the fastest who wins."
Massa meanwhile is also hopeful the strategy will give them an edge, even if he did admit he really wanted to go for it in Q3: "In terms of performance, it was a good qualifying, even if we opted for a completely different strategy to the teams who are ahead of us on the grid," added the Brazilian. "The car worked very well and with the Soft tyres, we were very competitive, more so than at Silverstone, where we suffered on both compounds, but even so, we could not have ended up any higher than fourth or fifth.
"When I saw I was first at the end of Q1 and Q2, I felt like I wanted to fight all the way to the finish, but based on the simulation we carried out during free practice, we felt our choice was the right direction to go in.
"It's hard to think we will be able to make up places immediately starting on the Medium tyres, but yesterday we saw that the Softs degrade after just a few laps and this could work out to our advantage. If the car handles well and we manage to have a good race, we could get a really fantastic result."
"The comparison carried out yesterday between the Soft and Medium compounds opened the door to various possibilities, both for qualifying and the race and today's result is fully in line with what we had expected," summarised Ferrari technical director, Pat Fry. "The decision to tackle qualifying thinking only about our race strategy was actually dictated by the difference we saw in terms of degradation for the two types of tyre.
"Overall, our car performance was good, even if it was affected by many factors, including the higher temperatures we saw today. Even though Felipe and Fernando were front runners in Q1 and Q2, we stuck to the choice we made at the start. We didn't feel it was a realistic target to fight for the front rows and we preferred to stick with our pace, trying a different strategy.
"Clearly, as always, tomorrow everything will depend on how competitive are the two F138s and how good is their pace. From one point of view, we feel that the high degradation of the Soft compound will force our rivals who are ahead of us, to make an early first stop and that traffic might then limit their pace, while we will be going for a longer first stint which should allow us to make up ground..."

PORTLAND, Maine — Tilson completed two major milestones in federal contracting in January.
Tilson has been added to the General Services Administration IT Schedule 70 Contract. The IT Schedule 70 allows for federal, state, and local government agencies to purchase a range of information technology professional services from Tilson easily and efficiently. Having a GSA Schedule provides government customers instant access to products and services via GSA's e-commerce website. Schedule 70 is the largest, most widely used acquisition vehicle in the federal government.
Also in January, Tilson completed the Veterans Administration Center for Veteran Enterprise verification process as a Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concern (SDVOSBC). The Veterans Administration recently implemented a stringent verification process to ensure that businesses representing as SDVOSBC's are in fact controlled by the veteran, and meet a long list of compliance requirements.
The Veterans Administration's verification is the gold standard in the federal government for certification as a SDVOSBC. Benefits of being a verified SDVOSBC include exclusive access to federal government set-aside contracts that are only available to SDVOSBC companies; public listing in the Vendor Information Pages (VIP) database that federal procurement officials use when searching for vendors and suppliers; and increased attractiveness to large federal prime contractors.
Tilson is a high growth team of telecom and information technology professionals with a worldwide practice. Tilson provides services to industry and government in:
• Information technology, including software development, project management, and information security
• Fiber optic engineering, permitting, and construction management
• Wireless site acquisition, construction management, and DAS for mobile carriers, public safety, and smart grid applications.

Government resources for coming PST return
The government of B.C. is reaching out to businesses to help them prepare for the return of the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) with all permanent exemptions on April 1, 2013.
Government increased business outreach activities in October and November to explain the timeline for re-implementation of the PST, what assistance is available to business, how to register, and to promote the new e-services option, eTaxBC.
This new online service will make administration of the sales tax easier for businesses. Starting Jan. 2, 2013, eTaxBC services will be available for online registration.
Chambers of commerce and business organizations are being offered special seminars covering the general principals of the PST and eTaxBC. Six were held in November and more are under development.
Here are some of the return to PST tools and services that are now available to help keep businesses informed during the transition:
• Book a one-on-one consultation with a ministry tax specialist. So far over 800 requests have been received and over 160 consultations have been completed.
• Participate in an online webinar covering the general principles of the PST and eTaxBC. Over 300 businesses have registered for webinars, three webinars have been held and more are being scheduled for December.
• Call the toll-free number with questions about the new PST (1 877 388-4440). Thousands of questions from businesses have already been answered.
• View the video: Returning to the PST - An Overview for Business.
• View the new notices and bulletins on the application of PST and related exemptions.
• Email questions to: firstname.lastname@example.com
Letters were mailed out to over 160,000 B.C. businesses in late September advising how to get information on the return to PST, and government has reached out to chambers of commerce and business associations to offer presentations with information businesses need for the transition.
Provincial legislation/regulations:
A new provincial sales tax notice, "General Transitional Rules for the Re-Implementation of the Provincial Sales Tax", was issued in October.
This notice provides general descriptions of transition rules for the re-implementation of the PST. The transitional rules describe how and when PST applies to transactions that straddle April 1, 2013, and should be read in conjunction with federal transitional rules for the elimination of the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) in B.C. The rules outlined in the notice are subject to the approval of the legislative assembly.
The Ministry of Finance continues to work on developing the regulations, and transitional and consequential amendments to support the Provincial Sales Tax Act, which received royal assent on May 31, 2012. Government plans to publicly release a final proposed version of the Provincial Sales Tax Act with proposed amendments in late December. All amendments to legislation require the approval of the legislative assembly, expected in spring 2013.
Business transition:
More than 100,000 businesses will need to register to collect the PST, and about 30,000 of those are new businesses that have only existed under an HST tax system. They will need to learn to administer the PST in tandem with the GST, and adjust their accounting and administrative systems and prepare to collect a second sales tax, as of Apr. 1, 2013.
More information can be found at www.PSTinBC.ca.

I have all of my teeth. I live by myself. Yeah im an artist but I wont paint you naked.
I also wonder if the girls who only post pictures of their kids realize paedophiles probably dig that sort of thing.
And what if the pattern of energy that comprises my being is really just the same stuff that is you but merely a different frequency...
And what if someone reads this and thinks about how tall I am or what kind of shoes am I wearing?
And what if someone reads this and thinks I talk about myself too much on my profile?
What does that even mean?¿?^
I also wonder if its a dick move to compile a book of "what if's?" and when someone asks me what I'm thinking i'll just give them that book...
