Structured Cable Products, Inc. Produces the First Cat5e/6 Cables to Achieve HDBaseT Cable Recommendation
Leading manufacturer and supplier of low voltage cables and accessories produces the industry's first HDBaseT Recommended Cables
Structured Cable Products, Inc. (SCP), a leading manufacturer and global supplier of low voltage cable and accessories, today proudly announced that its HNCPRO and HNCPRO PLUS+ professional grade home network cables, are the first cables that have been officially recommended by HDBaseT Alliance.
Any standard LAN cable will work with HDBaseT technology, but through its Cable Recommendation Program, the HDBaseT Alliance has stepped in to help installers and consumers select LAN cables that meet the current Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) requirements and therefore work perfectly with HDBaseT devices.The HDBaseT technology standard allows integrators to easily connect all entertainment devices in a home through its 5Play™ feature set, converging uncompressed full HD digital video, audio, 100BaseT Ethernet, power over cable and various control signals through a single Cat5e/6 cable using standard RJ45 connectors.
As the first HDBaseT recommended cables, HNCPRO and HNCPROPLUS+ have demonstrated the ability to meet and exceed today's demanding HD distribution applications over UTP/STP cables, which serve as the backbone of the HDBaseT standard. The cables also provide improved signal integrity and stable electrical performance exceeding TIA/EIA requirements for Cat5e/Cat6e.
"Having the distinction of producing the first Cat5e/6 cables to achieve HDBaseT recommendation is a win -win for SCP and its customers," said David Spiller, president of Structured Cable Products. "Integrators now have access to high performance cables for HDBaseT transmission, thus providing them with a proven solution for simplifying installations and reducing costs."
"The HDBaseT Alliance Cable Recommendation Program provides cable manufacturers the opportunity to use the HDBaseT logo for their products and gives consumers a way to easily identify cables ideal for HDBaseT installations," said Micha Risling, marketing committee chair, HDBaseT Alliance. "SCP is a valued member and representative of the HDBaseT Alliance and due to support from leading companies such as SCP, HDBaseT technology is positioned to become the unrivaled next -generation home networking transport."
HDBaseT Alliance is a cross -industry alliance founded by LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Valens Semiconductor to promote and standardize HDBaseT technology for whole -home distribution of uncompressed HD multimedia content.
The HDBaseT Certification Program provides HDBaseT Alliance members with a formal framework for the growing HDBaseT product ecosystem, ensuring interoperability among current and future HDBaseT products.
Structured Cable Products will provide attendees to Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2012, held January 31 -Feburary 2 in Amsterdam, the opportunity to learn more about its HDBaseT recommended cables and more by visiting booth #11F70 throughout the show.

Time Magazine Feature Highlights Credit Union-Bank Differences
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Credit unions may be growing accustomed to seeing their names in local newspapers because of their coverage of attempts by state bankers' associations to limit credit unions' field-of-membership expansion and service offerings. But now a major national business magazine, Time, has done a feature story about credit unions in an "Inside Business" bonus section in the magazine. "Big Little Lenders" discusses how credit unions have grown from what the article describes as once being "content to quietly serve a single workplace or small community" to realizing "they must evolve and grow -or perish- and are meeting the challenge with services such as online banking and a nationwide ATM network." Writer Daren Fonda cited various statistics for her piece on the credit union industry - there are about 10,000 credit unions in the U.S. and roughly 60% of them are federally chartered and supervised by the NCUA; nearly all state-chartered credit unions are federally insured; "and they tend to offer lower fees and loan rates than banks, and higher returns on deposits." Fonda interviewed CUNA President/CEO Dan Mica and also spoke with members of various credit unions around the country for their comments about their relationship with their credit union. Explaining credit unions' growth - up 29% in the past two years, growing four times faster that the $8 trillion commercial-banking industry-Mica stated that, "Banks take the consumer for granted - and for an awful lot of money. They are tacking on fees and have less interest in serving small businesses than they use to. We're filling the vacuum." Fonda also spoke with presidents and members of several credit unions, such as First Technology CU, Bellco CU, and Boeing Wichita CU, as well as credit union industry experts. Tom Glatt, for example, president, Computer Intelligence Associates, explained why expansion is no longer merely an option for many credit unions. "It's become a question of grow or die," he said. As to the niche credit unions serve, Bellco CU President/CEO Doug Ferrao said, "Big banks are marketing to the wealthy, and middle-income people are being underserved." Fonda cited the all-too-familiar issues banks have raised against credit unions. Harley Bergmeyer, chairman of Saline State Bank, Wilber, Neb. told Fonda that, "We welcome competition, but we can't compete with the bigger credit unions that don't pay taxes." Fonda's subheadline to her story said it all - "Formerly sleepy credit unions are getting a makeover and help from regulators - and are taking business from banks." -

One of the coolest things about Titanfall is the challenges it requires players to complete before they can "regenerate" their character after reaching the level cap. One of the worst things about Titanfall is the Gen 5 challenge that requires players to shoot 50 ejecting pilots out of the air. Respawn has heard you, and it's making this a whole lot easier.
The developer released a new patch today that will fix, adjust, and add a lot to its popular sci-fi shooter. That ejecting-pilot requirement, called the Gooser Challenge, now only needs you to kill 5 pilots. That's just one of the many balance changes that Respawn is implementing as it strives to make the game play better for its dedicated fans.
Here are all of the new features:
- Private match (beta): You now have a way to organize matches with your friends. Players can also use this for tournament play.
- Party colors: If you party up with your friends, they used to appear as blue dots on your minimap. They will now appear green to help you stick together.
- Auto-Titan color: Your auto-Titan's name is now gold, so you can quickly check to see where it is and how it is doing.
- Menu changes: If you've completed both campaigns, "Play Multiplayer" is now the top choice. This was previously called "Play classic," and it appeared below the campaign.
Here are the game-balance changes:
- Gooser Challenge: Reduced requirement from 50 to 5.
- Titan 40mm canon ammo reduction: This Titan weapon now only has 12 rounds instead of 20 in its standard form. In its extended-mag form, it has 16 instead of 25. It is still the only weapon that can take down a Titan without reloading.
- Titan quad-rocket mag-size change: The standard mag used to hold four shots, and it now holds five. The extended mag used to hold five, and it now holds six.
- Titan quad-rocket damage versus shields: It now takes only four shots with the quad rocket to take down a Titan's shields. It used to take five.
- Titan quad-rocket "Rapid Fire" mag-size change: This single-fire version of the rocket launcher now holds 18 rounds instead of just 16.
- Amped Kraber sniper rifle Titan-damage change: This "burn card" version of the Kraber rifle now does 800 points of damage against a Titan compared to the 100 it did before. This makes it the only highly effective small-arms weapon against a Titan.
- Hardpoint Domination scoring changes: Respawn is increasing the points players get for capturing hardpoints and reducing the points they get for killing players. This is to encourage players to move around more in this mode.
- Capture the flag scoring changes: Adjusting points to better reward capturing the flag over defending it.
Respawn also fixed a number of bugs that were affecting Titanfall. You can get a complete rundown of those patched issues from the developer's blog. The patch is available now and should install when you turn on the shooter. This latest version also includes the version number on the bottom of the menu screen, so you can tell if you have the latest release.

I got 3 bare roots from J & P and planted them in early May 2015, in mid Michigan. It is now the end of July 2015 and I have gotten at least a dozen blooms per plant. Planted them in full sun in a clay/topsoil/mulch mix. I'm a bit heavy handed with the water and fertilizer. Plants health but bugs seem to like the center of the flower. Can smell the open flowers from 6 feet away. Very pretty yellow rose. Got lucky, my roses usually don't do well.

states repeat bloomer. We have one that gets the minimum 4-6 hours of sun a day. In the edge of a garden. Blooms lightly for about two - three weeks in spring then again in fall before it goes dormant. Shows some black spot which is unusual because we have dry summers and the irrigation on it is drip other then to wash it off once in awhile. We are getting ready to rip it out because after 5 years it has never gotten over 6' tall and is just a bush most of the year. I don't recommend it although the yellow blooms are beautiful during the week or two it blooms in late March early April.

I planted two of these potted roses in my garden in zone 7A about two years ago. Both last year and so far this year they have been prone to disease. The leaves get fungus (not sure if BS or mildew) and yellow. These roses have that beat up look from the struggle to survive. I am constantly cleaning up diseased leaves, spraying and feeding/medicating.

Kill Creek Park nearing completion
Monte Fiegel knows Kill Creek Regional Park won't be as peaceful this time next year.
"At least I won't be listening to the back-up alarms of bull dozers all day," he said.
Fiegel is the manager of the 840acre park four miles south of Kansas Highway 10 and just east of the Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant. When it opens this fall or next spring it will be the third regional park in the Johnson County Park District's system.
"I have seven different contractors working out here, right now," Fiegel said. "Everything is going real well, but the weather could throw everything out of kilter.
"If everything falls into place, we could still have a fall opening."
Progress on three big remaining projects over the next two months will determine the park's opening date, Fiegel said. Specifically, the park's lateral-fill system has to be built, perimeter fencing installed and trails, parking lots and the main access road paved, he said.
Other projects are nearing completion. Work on the marina and separate beach concessions are in the "punch-list" phase, and a visitors' center at Camp Timber Ridge is "85 percent" finished, Fiegel said.
Located near a pond built before the county acquired the property, the 80-acre Camp Timber Ridge will offer day-use camping and programs for youth groups.
Kill Creek Park's 28-acre main lake is full, Fiegel said. The lake will be open to swimmers, canoes, paddle boats and small sailboats next summer, but fishermen will have to wait, he said.
"It's stocked, but the fish will be too small for fishing when we open," he said.
Fiegel estimates fishing will begin in two years. Park district officials will have a better idea after Kansas Wildlife and Parks surveys the lengths of the lake's catfish, small- and large-mouth bass, walleye, bluegill and crappie next spring, he said.
Kill Creek Park will not be a multi-use facility like Shawnee Mission or Heritage parks, Fiegel said.
The park district's goal was to keep the natural ruggedness of the park intact.
Area nature lovers will be able to enjoy the park's mixed prairie and woodland environment via 1.5 miles of paved trails most of which bends along Kill Creek and unimproved trails that take off over the park's hills. Horseback trails will also be available.
The trails will extend north to 127th Street, Fiegel said.
The park district is working with the city of De Soto to eventually extend the trails to 95th Street.
The park district has spent the better part of the last decade returning the Kill Creek's acreage to its natural environment.
Brush has been cleared, and the old agricultural areas are being returned to grassland. The lowland acres are being seeded to native tall grasses, and the uplands planted with indigenous short grasses, Fiegel said.

This script is Copyright (C) 2012 Tenable Network Security, Inc.
Synopsis :
The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security
Description :
PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
A flaw was found in the way the crypt() password hashing function from
the optional PostgreSQL pgcrypto contrib module performed password
transformation when used with the DES algorithm. If the password
string to be hashed contained the 0x80 byte value, the remainder of
the string was ignored when calculating the hash, significantly
reducing the password strength. This made brute-force guessing more
efficient as the whole password was not required to gain access to
protected resources. (CVE-2012-2143)
Note: With this update, the rest of the string is properly included in
the DES hash; therefore, any previously stored password values that
are affected by this issue will no longer match. In such cases, it
will be necessary for those stored password hashes to be updated.
A denial of service flaw was found in the way the PostgreSQL server
performed a user privileges check when applying SECURITY DEFINER or
SET attributes to a procedural language's (such as PL/Perl or
PL/Python) call handler function. A non-superuser database owner could
use this flaw to cause the PostgreSQL server to crash due to infinite
recursion. (CVE-2012-2655)
These updated packages upgrade PostgreSQL to version 8.4.12, which
fixes these issues as well as several non-security issues. Refer to
the PostgreSQL Release Notes for a full list of changes :
All PostgreSQL users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which correct these issues. If the postgresql service is running, it
will be automatically restarted after installing this update.

Eco Brooklyn's Eco Garden
Eco Brooklyn's show house is now home to a beautiful new landscape which has been certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a Certified Wildlife Habitat. Nestled among many homes in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, NY this garden provides a home for a wide variety of shrubs and perennials that have invited in a number of different pollinators.
Planted with all native species, the garden is thriving and teeming with life. Honey bees have been spotted coming down from the roof to visit the new garden. The butterflies flutter from garden to garden and take their time to enjoy some nectar before moving on. Other beneficial insects, including some ichneumon wasps, have also been spotted buzzing around the garden. They help to keep the detrimental invasive species of insects at bay.
A small pond and meandering stream also occupy the site giving it a place for birds to bathe, fish to swim and the relaxing, harmonious sound of moving water that completes the desired effect of being in a natural setting.

Any performance parts for the '14 GC?
I dont know what engine I want yet but I cant seem to find any performance parts for any of the engines.
No tunes, exhaust, intake nothing
Can someoneo point me in the right direction?
If you do a forum search you will find a couple recent discussions. I'm surprised you are having a hard time finding any discussions.
The best bang for your buck is a diablo tuner and a custom tune (e.g. hemitune). Not sure if they are out for the 2014s yet. Folks that want high street performance migrate to the SRT.
Anything else is hardly noticeable and may do more harm than good.
So theres no headers for the 5.7 2014?
I want a 2014 but if I went with a SRT I could probably only afford a 2011 but the new ones are so badass.
Plus I want to make mine look more offroadable and not street so I dont think a SRT would work for that lol
Headers will not buy you much even if available. A custom header fabricator could probably weld some up for you, but the WK2 engine compartment is tight. Every once in awhile here a group tries to get together for a group buy, but it doesn't seem to materialize as I'm guessing headers for the 5.7 are not that feasible. There was someone trying to replace the 5.7 with a 6.4 but never could get the computer to work properly.
By the way, "performance" parts for 2011-2013 should fit the 2014 physically. The 2014 has a different transmission and different control bus, but is otherwise the same. IMHO, beside a tuner and some brake, tire, and suspension bits, there is no real performance upgrades available for the WK2, but there are several that will make the WK2 sound better (e.g CAIs and Cat Backs)
Hi Lifted07Duramax

Investigation begins in Lockridge shooting
LOCKRIDGE – Law enforcement officials are in the process of interviewing witnesses with information pertaining to the death of David L. Bittner, 46, who died Wednesday night.
Bittner, of rural Mount Pleasant, suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen Wednesday. He was shot at 105 W. Main St. in Lockridge.
A person at the residence made the 911 call that alerted authorities to Bittner's gunshot wound. A Jefferson County Sheriff's deputy responded to the scene at approximately 11:15 p.m. An ambulance transported Bittner to the Jefferson County Health Center, where he was pronounced dead later that night.
Bittner's body was transported to the Iowa Office of the State Medical Examiner in Ankeny Thursday for an autopsy.
Jefferson County Attorney Tim Dille said today law enforcement officials believe the residence in Lockridge where Bittner was found was not his home but rather the home of some of his relatives. He said persons were at the residence at the time of the shooting, and law enforcement is interviewing those people. He said law enforcement is also questioning people who weren't at the home but who may have knowledge of the circumstances surrounding Bittner's death.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation found weapons at the residence in Lockridge. Dille said authorities are waiting to recover the projectile in Bittner's body from the autopsy, and when they do they will have a better idea about whether the projectile came from one of the recovered weapons. Dille said he believes the projectile in Bittner's body was almost certainly a bullet and he believes there was just one of them.
"We're still trying to determine who owns the weapons and how they came to be there," Dille said.
Dille said his office treats all deaths seriously and explores every angle to find out what happened. He said he was unaware of any evidence that would suggest Bittner's death was the result of a suicide or an accident, although the investigation is ongoing. The county attorney's office has not filed charges against anyone in this matter.
Dille expects to reveal more information through a press release next week after local law enforcement and the DCI have had a chance to investigate the case further. The Henry County Sheriff's Office and the Iowa State Patrol responded to the shooting Wednesday but are not involved in the investigation. Dille explained a shooting requires additional backup because the deputies don't know the extent of the problem before they arrive, which is why the Henry County Sheriff's Office was requested at the scene.
Bittner's obituary appears on page 8 in today's Ledger.

February 2011 Bar Soap
Matt Guichard | Feb 01, 2011 | Comments 0
Hey, I am getting pretty good at this typewriter thing. Move over, Herb Caen. Well, perhaps he has already moved over. Anyone here who does not know who Herb Caen was? No, he was not an attorney.
We know a lot of people are on the move in our local legal community, and I don't just mean through the security lines at the airport. Speaking of that, San Joaquin County now allows one to show ID and a current Bar Card to bypass the metal detector. Now if we could only get Alameda County to do that I would be happy.
Mark Peterson has left the Concord City Counsel to take up residence on the top floor of the DA building in Martinez as our new DA. He did have an office in that same building before the move upstairs. I think it was a closet in the basement, however. Has anyone noticed the DA building is one of the few government buildings downtown without a person's name? No Mark, it is too early to think about the Mark Peterson District Attorney Building.
Speaking of attorneys on the move, everyone reports payments to attorneys are way down, so attorney balance sheets are on the move down. Look for something on that topic in one of the upcoming issues of the Contra Costa Lawyer (April, to be exact).
Another lawyer on the move is former Concord Police Chief David Livingston. He is now the County Sheriff, a licensed attorney and a long-standing member of our local Bar Association. That does remind me to once again encourage all Contra Costa County Lawyers to join the Local Bar Association. Who doesn't get a case and immediately look up the opposing counsel in the Contra Costa Bar Association Membership & Reference Directory? "Oh okay, now I know who she/he is from the picture in the directory." It is kind of hard when there is no picture though. Even harder when there is no membership.
On the move is the firm O'Conner, Runckel & O'Malley. The firm has relocated to Walnut Creek from Concord. Rumor has it their success required more space. Remember in the 1980's everyone was moving to Walnut Creek? During the boom, lots of firms moved north again. Now we are seeing the move back south to my home town of Walnut Creek. What boom you say?
Candice Stoddard has stepped down as Editor of the Contra Costa Lawyer after three years. Wow time has flown. New Editor is Nicolle Mills. It is a time consuming and thankless job. But thankfully they do a wonderful and very necessary job. Incidentally, Candice has moved her office to 1350 Treat Blvd in Walnut Creek. Closer to Club Sport?
Kate Burch, Nicole McLaughlin and Wendy Smith have joined Archer Norris as new associates. Nice to see someone is hiring. Quinlan Tom has been hired as a partner by Newmeyer & Dillion LLP, a real estate law firm based in Walnut Creek. Attorneys Terence Church, Monica Sloboda and Katherine Wenger were named principals at Walnut Creek based Morgan Miller Blair. Jim Wickersham is joining Frankel & Goldware LLP, as "Of counsel" effective March 1, 2011. Delia Isvoranu, a member of our Robert G. McGrath American Inn of Court, has been promoted to partner at Filice Brown Eassa & McLeod LLP. Mike Low has joined Janssen and Doyle.
Last but not least, our own Erika Portillo has been named a partner and shareholder at Guichard, Teng & Portello. Lots of you thought she was already a name partner. That would be Will Portello. Even our Contra Costa Bar Membership Directory listed her name in our firm heading. Mine says Portello, hers says Portillo. She surely has some influence.
Keeps those cards and letters coming, and don't forget your sense of humor!

Three cheers for the NY Knicks. Their first 5-game winning streak in 5 years!
First there were the cheap sneakers Marbury put his name behind, then there was the time Eddy Curry forgot to bring his sneakers to training camp, but now we have this: The sneaker shot heard 'round the world.
Ever since Amar'e threw his sneakers at the water coolers, went into a tirade and called out his teammates.... The Knicks are 5-1. Winning 3 games out West and taking back-2-back games from CHA!
How huge is this win? Knicks now own the tiebreaker against CHA. That means they must finish at least 1 game better than us for the 8th spot. One team done!
SO, reason number one we went with Amar'e over David Lee... Well, it's all in the name. STAT is the type of player that lures a Carmelo or a Paul. More importantly, STAT is a LEADER. Type A personality. He demand-commands respect.
Did David Lee ever throw a shoe? Heck, did he ever even rip a shoelace in disgust?
We all love and respect Lee; but STAT is the better all-around player. Knicks won the game tonight b/c STAT had a tremendous block. Any doubt that S-Jax slams that home on Lee?
STAT then drained 2 free throws, and finally (although out of control) spun around in the lane and found Fields. GAME OVER.
Players are buying into winning; and it all begand when STAT willed this season around, not allowing his team to accept losing.
Who would guess after 16 games.... Knicks would be 8-8 and MIA potentialy 8-7.... Who would guess NY would trail MIA by a mere half game!

On a narrow vote after a sometimes contentious debate Monday, the Prairie Village city council took the first step toward asking residents whether they'd support a sales tax increase to fund the city's parks master plan.
Citing a desire to find a permanent revenue source to fund parks improvements, the city's finance committee put a measure on Monday's council agenda that would direct city staff to begin drafting language for a ballot measure on a city-wide sales tax hike. A memo prepared by the Parks and Recreation department noted that a .5 percent increase in the city's sales tax would generate approximately $1 million annually — around the amount projected to be required to complete the parks plan.
The item provoked intense reaction from some council members immediately after finance committee member David Belz introduced it.
Council member Ruth Hopkins pointedly asked Belz where the finance committee got the impression that the council was interested in establishing a new revenue source for the parks plan, and council member Michael Kelly insisted that if the council wanted to fund parks projects, it should find money in the city's existing general fund.
But other council members spoke just as passionately in favor of the proposal, with Laura Wassmer chastising some of her colleagues for acting as "gatekeepers" trying to keep the public from weighing in.
"I don't see why this is a big issue," Wassmer said. "Why are we so afraid of letting the public decide whether this is something that they want?"
Opponents of the bill countered that in the current economic environment, the possibility of increasing taxes to pay for parks improvements was imprudent.
"I think redoing all our parks to the level of Franklin and Weltner is a pipe dream," said Hopkins. "We need to worry about basic services and maintenance."
The measure ultimately passed on a 6-5 vote, with Kelly, Hopkins, David Morrison, Steve Noll and Andrew Wang voting against it. Council member Al Herrera was absent.
City staff will likely present draft ballot language as well as recommendations about how a city-wide vote might be coordinated at the next council meeting.

Shipping, private mailboxes, copying, printing and document finishing, notarizing, packaging — a wide variety of services for business and daily life are available at the UPS Store in Ridgefield.
Beginning as Mailboxes Etc., the store at 54 Danbury Road has served Ridgefielders and Ridgefield businesses for a quarter-century.
"I started 25 years ago," said John Sommer, owner of what has grown to be the regional master franchise that includes 71 UPS Stores in Connecticut and New York state. "In 1987 I opened up a Mailboxes Etc. at this exact location, 54 Danbury Road."
The idea was to have a retail storefront make access to various shipping options easy.
"Back in '87, if you wanted to use UPS, you had to go to the UPS depot. If you wanted to use FedEx, you had to go to a FedEx depot. The post office was dominant," Mr. Sommer said.
"We also provided stamps and did postal services. It was a very small part of our services. … You were able to do printing, faxing, anything a business guy would need on the road.
"When we started, there were 1,200 Mail Boxes Etc. in the country, which was quite revolutionary."
Mail Boxes Etc. was bought out by UPS in 2001. "We branded as the UPS Stores, nationwide, in early 2003," Mr. Sommer said.
"UPS wanted to be able to control a retail network providing their services."
Two years after opening on Danbury Road, Mr. Sommer was looking to grow.
"Rather than expanding into multiple locations, I started by purchasing the master development licenses for five areas in southern New England and New York. …
"It's called a master franchise. I owned, and still do today, the master franchise of UPS Stores for Connecticut, Westchester, Rockland, and Orange counties.
"Any store that's developed is done by my organization, my people," he said.
He owns the Ridgefield store, but the others in the master franchise area have their own local operators. They get training at UPS headquarters in San Diego, but also train by working in the Ridgefield store.
"It's a very busy store, nationwide" Mr. Sommer said.
"We're rated in the top 12 franchises in the country, this one in Ridgefield, out of almost 4,800 franchises."
He attributes much of its success to Chris Cuhsnick, store general manager and part of the team serving area franchises.
"She works with me in the area of developing new franchises, training, support for my existing franchise group," Mr. Sommer said. "Our business plan calls for anywhere between three and four new franchises a year."
The UPS Store offers a wide variety of services.
"UPS shipping, number one; postal services, number two; freight services," Mr. Sommer said. "We have UPS freight services that can ship anything, of any weight, anywhere, and we have shipped some crazy stuff.
"We have 300 private mailboxes here. Every one of those, people or companies that have those private mailboxes, will get some kind of a delivery every day. We not only see UPS delivery, we see FedEx and the postal service … it's a commercial address. We sort all the mail and the mail is waiting for them here," he said.
"There's a safety issue: Your mail is delivered here, your private mail and your UPS and/or FedEx can be delivered to this location, to your private mailbox, and it's available for your pickup 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can come into a secure, gated lobby and pick up any mail. …
"It's not sitting outside your house waiting for someone to steal it. It's not waiting for someone to take your credit card information from your mailbox. It's all waiting in a secure location."
The UPS Store also offers "digital printing and document finishing" services. "You can send us an email or bring it in on a flash drive or thumb drive and we can print it out for you," Mr. Sommer said.
"We have scanning services. You can bring a document in and have it scanned and we can send it to your email or someone else's email or put it on flash drive."
If a notary public's services are needed, the UPS Store will do it. "We have two notaries on staff six days a week," Mr. Sommer said.
They also offer "shredding services" for old documents. They sell office supplies.
The store ships luggage, and things like golf clubs and skis. There's a convenience factor, and it can save money.
"The airlines' charging for luggage has been one of the best things that's happened to our shipping business," Mr. Sommer said.
While the secure lobby is always open to mailbox owners, the UPS Store is open 8:30 to 6 Monday through Friday, and 9 to 5 on Saturdays. It's closed Sundays, except in December.
There are four store employees and a total of seven workers, counting three who work in support of the other area franchises.
The takeover by UPS, with its worldwide brand recognition, has worked out well.
"UPS shipping is our No. 1 profit center," Mr. Sommer said. "Easily 45% to 50% of every dollar that comes through this door every day has something to do with UPS shipping," he said. "And during the Christmas season, it's closer to 70%."
The shipping is customer-friendly, and professional.
"We do the boxes, the crating," Mr. Sommer said.
"Currently we're working with two auction houses, out of New York City. We've kept them happy for a period of years now.
"They have entrusted us to ship valuable artwork worldwide for them, and we've shipped stuff that's worth $300,000. You've got to have a good relationship to be able to ship that kind of valuable items for auction houses.
"A lot of that is because of Chris, the manager — she's great at what she does."

I think the shattering problem is related primarily to antimony content rather than just to what you harden it to. That is, a linotype bullet will shatter more readily than a low antimony alloy bullet heat treated to the same hardness. I know Veral Smith said wheelweight alloy would shatter on bone in Idaho's extremely cold weather. The rules of thumb I've heard in several places is not to exceed 2% antimony and not to let the tin exceed the antimony level or hardness will age away more rapidly. The 50/50 alloy would be about there (and a little tin could be safely added to it for easier mold fill). Beartooth Bullets, for example, and Randy Garrett's cast bullets also, IIRC, are heat treated to a BHN in the low 20's, but being low antimony alloys, don't shatter.
The issue of penetration seems to depend on how wide the meplat on the bullet is. With the wide meplat designs, like Michael's, the wound channels are often surprisingly large and long, both, even if the bullets don't deform. In that instance an exit hole is just helpful as a second blood leak.

Road to a 'cure' costs and pays Tanzanians
ARUSHA, Tanzania - Even for the seasoned Africa traveler, arriving at this city's bus park is a harrowing experience.
A gateway to some of the world's best game parks and the famed Mount Kilimanjaro, Arusha is Tanzania's de facto tourism capital - and the aggressive touts that line its grimy stage will not let any arriving Westerner forget it.
Over the past year, the peddlers have been persistent as ever - though their clients have been mostly African and their prime destination only recently put on the map. It's known as Loliondo: a far-flung village on the Tanzania-Kenya border, which is home to one of the year's most sought-after men in Africa.
It all began in late 2010 when Ambilikile Mwasapile, a retired Loliondo pastor better known as "Babu'' or "Grandfather,'' went public with the series of dreams that would make him a sensation. God, he claimed, had revealed an herbal cure for virtually any chronic illness - including cancer, AIDS, and diabetes - and instructed him to offer the remedy, for a small fee, to the public. Within weeks, he was inundated with visitors, drawn by tales of "miracle healings'' that spread across East Africa.
By June, when I decided to investigate, local officials claim Loliondo had received nearly 4 million visitors - an average of 14,000 per day over a nine-month period. Pilgrims included the rich and poor, the sick and dying, the healthy seeking prevention, and the simply curious. Many had traveled for days, under significant financial and physical strain.
On a Friday evening, just outside the Arusha bus park, I found myself inside a Loliondo-bound Toyota Landcruiser, joined by Jonathan Kalan, a fellow New Englander and Kenya-based photojournalist. From where I live in neighboring Rwanda, I had already bused more than 600 miles to Arusha, where Kalan and I contacted Rafael Kashimbiri, a slight, bearded driver who plies the Loliondo route three or four times a week. For $50 each, we crammed inside his vehicle with 14 other passengers. With 200 miles ahead - including 100 on rugged dirt paths - the journey was not going to be comfortable.
For the next seven hours, we hurtled though an otherworldly landscape, past the cow-dung huts of Massai villages, the moonlit waters of Lake Natron, and the eerie silhouette of Ol Doinyo Lengai, the conical Maasai "Mountain of God.'' As Kashimbiri did his best impression of a rally driver, we chatted with Max Magafu, an Arusha native we had recruited to come along, who versed us on the latest Babu folklore. There were the witch doctors who had come to Loliondo and been struck by lightning, the cellphone thief who drank two cups of the supposed cure-all instead of one and started going deaf, and the Babu "imitator'' in the nearby town of Moshi who was driven to insanity.
"The cure only works in Loliondo,'' Magafu said. "Otherwise it will be poison.''
Despite evidence to the contrary, this claim is the crux of Mwasapile's enterprise. As I had read before traveling, the main ingredient in his liquid concoction had been used as an herbal remedy for centuries by the local Maasai and Sonjo people, and in places as distant as Ghana, Thailand, and Japan. Past scientific studies had shown the plant, Carissa edulis, to have a therapeutic effect on a variety of ailments and to lower blood sugar - temporarily at least - in diabetic patients. Yet only through Mwasapile would it actually cure, or so God had supposedly instructed.
Just past 3 a.m, we rolled into Samunge, the small Loliondo hamlet where Mwasapile lives and dispenses his cup of medicine. Ahead of us, hundreds of vehicles lined the road: four-wheel drives, derelict minivans, and brightly painted buses. Before, residents told us, the jam was worse, stretching miles into the desert, and forcing cure-seekers to camp out for days. At least 50 had died in transit.
Teeming with a steady stream of visitors, the Samunge we explored was a makeshift boomtown. Strolling up the road, we passed crude, wooden-bench cinemas, teahouses under tarps, and red-robed Maasai warriors-turned-entrepreneurs charging the equivalent of 30 cents - the same price as Mwasapile's cup - to use a hole-in-the-ground toilet. Deciding not to sleep, we sat down for tea with Rehema Msigala, a boisterous woman from the coast who had traveled to Loliondo with her diabetic mother. We asked her why she had faith in the cure.
"Jesus Christ heals in my life,'' she said. "It's not about the cup. It's the power of God delivered through Babu.''
After sunrise, we trudged to the gate of Mwasapile's house with the continually arriving masses, now numbering in the thousands. Soon, Mwasapile appeared, a slight man in a rumpled nylon jacket. Delivering a 10-minute version of his divine encounter, he instructed members of the crowd not to bring cups home to relatives, and warned that any witch doctors present would be punished. Refusing to take questions from skeptical foreign journalists, he dismissed everyone back to their vehicles. Creeping forward in the queue, we would slowly maneuver back to his gate and drink our cups inside our cars.
After an hour of bumper-to-bumper traffic, our moment arrived. As Kashimbiri pulled to the front of the line, one of Mwasapile's assistants dispensed a tray of red plastic mugs, each filled with a dose of green-tinged liquid. While a few passengers said prayers, I sipped the elixir slowly, detecting a bitter, ashy flavor. Singling me out, the second in charge demanded I drink faster. With a long line of cars behind us, the usual plodding pace of Tanzanian life no longer applied. I chugged the rest down and we were off again hurtling into the desert.
Back in Arusha the following afternoon, I set out to find a local cynic. Wandering through the town, I stumbled upon the St. Thomas Health Center, a three-story building teeming with patients, mostly young mothers with children. There, I met Julius Msuya, a doctor trained in India. Eager to chat, Msuya told me he had treated hundreds of patients who had been to Loliondo. Not one had been cured. Worse, he said, many had stopped taking their medication. Some were afraid to admit the "cure'' had failed, lest they be branded a witch doctor.
"We have lost a lot of people,'' Msuya said. "It's one thing for people to believe, but when it costs life, there should be great concern. Aristotle taught us that belief must go with logic. This is mass ignorance. Mass stupidity.''
Msuya had a point. Yet as I walked back to my hotel, the logic to me was clear. As even Msuya admitted, Tanzania's modern health care system has serious deficiencies. Unable to afford even basic government services, many people have little to lose by turning to traditional remedies, to superstitions, or to God. Then there are those with much to gain. Though the Loliondo craze has passed its peak, Mwasapile's operations continue and his beneficiaries - from vehicle owners, to drivers, to Loliondo residents - are still plenty.
Dwani Mshani is one of them. A loud, barrel-chested tout, he accosted me as I passed the bus station on the walk back to my hotel. After insisting I didn't want to book a safari, I asked about his sales to Loliondo.
"Business is so good,'' he said, grinning. "Everyone in Tanzania is sick. Except me.''

I might try and catch the German entry ............
We used to have the eurovision drinking contest in our single days. Drink from each country drunk whilst song is on. Bit difficult now that they've up the entries to 20 odd and its hard to get an Albanian/ Slovenian beer in Tescos.
No Terry this year though, so won't bother, Graham Norton gets on my t**s.
"Catch the German entry"… sounds like a euphemism for a vile act that could ruin your carpets.
Given the fact it involves Dita Von Tease... that is entirely possible
Eurovision drinking game
Eurovision party going on chez rut tonight.
But with no Terry, it's just not going to be right. Norton really gets on my wick!
Belgian singer = shurely the product of selctive breeding between Shaking Stevens and Jaws from James Bond????
No Wogan? No point.
no will be eating own hair and drinking vodka.oh and no wogan
White chillian, red St Emilion (2 bottles), 1989 port and home-baked bread. Ditta, where is you?
Not very much intrest over on Bikemagic, theyre just throwing insults.
My house has gone Eurovision mad!
Then again I have two daughters and a Mrs who finds it all quite funny.
Not sure it going to be the same without Wogan's dry humour though.
So what does everyone think of our UK entry song then? Care to put a guess in as to how many points Jade gets?
Drinking Games
Watch the Eurovision Song Contest on TV or video.
Have one sip of your drink per successfully met condition:

It's all a bit silly but I'm watching, riveted in fact.
Israel , not bad,
french, drivel,
what the **** is going on with the swedish tv?
Rusty Trowel I can sort you out some Zlatorog or Union from Slovenia for next year if you are keen to keep your game going.
I think I will keep this post open while I'm forced to watch it. Better commentary than Norton.
Wogan was class, slowly getting more pissed throughout the night and ripping into everyone. Norton just annoys
Isnt that Norris's girlfriend from Corry singing for Potugal?
German entry has Dita VT in it? Might let the Mrs keep watching it then
Russia's effort is shockinkly bad!
Azerbaijan wins.
Wife doe not belive that Azerbaijan is a real place Nice lass singing though!
Moldova is even worse!!
Moldova's effort is at least making me smile. Special performance
Oh my God, Mrs Malta ate all the pies
smiffkin - Member
Oh my God, Mrs Malta ate all the pies
Yeah, but she can sing, or is just that she was in juxtaposition to that Moldovan row.
OMG, I am being drawn into this shockingly rubbish competition! - I must be getting old!
lol at the ronan keating impersonator, probably the best effort so far though.
here we go...
German wins the best pants so far
Germany's got my vote, so far.
Better than the sub-shakira turkish entry.
Germany, dreadful song......best gimmick so far with the delectable Dita

As a general rule, no. However, more information is needed to determine if there is something unusual in your case. What type of loan is it? Do you have another loan with the bank? Why did the bank make you a co-borrower? Is this a modified loan?

In this four-part series, we'll shed light on the world of IT training, social media consultants and whether your company needs a formal policy
FrogBox is a small business that's on the brink of getting big. The Vancouver firm, which rents out eco-friendly reusable moving boxes, is on the cusp of launching an ambitious franchising plan across the country. What's more, the company about to get a jolt of publicity with an appearance this week on CBC Television's Dragon's Den.
Soon, its brand - which was once easily managed in their head office - will be in the hands of several franchise owners across Canada. And, this being 2011, many of them will want to take to Facebook, Twitter and the open Web.
This gave CEO Doug Burgoyne - eager to make sure that none of his brand's environmental claims are inaccurate - reason to pause.
"Greenwashing is such a touchy subject right now," he says. For instance, after moving away from solar-powered Web hosting (the benefits, he says, were marginal), Mr. Burgoyne scoured the Web to remove all mention of it. But a well-meaning franchisee might find an old page referring to it, and make an untrue boast.
"We need to absolutely make 100 per cent sure," says Mr. Burgoyne.
It was this kind of concern that led him to hire a consultant to work with his company on a social media policy - one of the more talked-about managerial tools in the social media world. Social media policies are increasingly prevalent and relevant - but does every small business need one?
What's in a social media policy?
At its core, it's a written document that lays out a company's expectations for its employees as they take to social networks.
A good deal of the talk stems from the disaster scenarios that bubble up in the news from time to time: A videotaped prank at a Domino's Pizza kitchen that became an unwelcome YouTube hit, or the summary dismissals of corporate employees who posted the wrong thing on Facebook.
But more often than not, social media policies guard against slips that are entirely well-intentioned. Kirstin Beardsley, the manager of marketing and communication at CanadaHelps, a website that helps connect charities with donors, cites the example of a charity worker posting a photo on Twitter, depicting a holiday lunch spread. If the photo isn't captioned to indicate that the lunch was, in fact, donated, it could lead to readers wondering how the charity was spending its money.
Every policy is different, but most touch on a few critical areas:
• Being an ambassador: As long as they're employees, they're acting as ambassadors for the firm online. As such, their public postings need to be in line with the company's values. Everything they post online needs to be considered; if they find themselves hesitating before clicking "Post" or "Send," then they should probably reconsider.
• Proprietary information: It's easy to give away company information without realizing it. For instance, just checking in on FourSquare or Facebook from a client's location could compromise company plans. Employers and employees need to be crystal-clear on what's proprietary information and what's not.
• Private information: Client confidentiality needs to be preserved at all times. Jo-Anne Stayner, whose Vancouver firm, Fresh PR, is working with FrogBox on their policy, posits the scenario of a well-meaning employee thanking a customer on Twitter. That well-meaning act involuntarily puts confidential sales information into the public domain. The customer might not have wanted to be outed, and they might now find themselves spammed by other companies.
• Transparency: Employees need to be clear on how they can represent the company in the online world. Are staffers allowed to make representations or promises on behalf of the owner? Whose job is it to answer which queries?
Formal policy or common sense?
Social media policies are a big deal with big business, who have thousands of employees and need formalized HR procedures to manage them. But is it overkill for a small business?
Ms. Stayner, whose firm, Fresh PR, is working with FrogBox to craft their policy, says that news coverage of social media issues is drumming up a lot of interest from clients in creating formal policies. Still, she says, that for many small businesses, it's not necessary.
"The people who don't need it is where it's literally five people, they work in the same room, there's one person who does 90 per cent of their social media."
For Ms. Stayner, the need for a formal policy arises when a business is accountable to more than its founders and its customers. For instance, once investors appear on the scene, a businesses' public image reflects on them as well. Similarly, a non-profit or charity will want to make sure it doesn't misrepresent itself in front of its donors.
In the instance of FrogBox, their particular circumstances - a franchise that's charting some politically-charged waters - led them to a policy that's tailored to their needs. It emphasizes, among other things, the need to clear certain materials, like blog posts, with head office before posting them. It also requires franchisees who want to use blogs or set up Facebook pages to agree to a minimum number of posts. Ms. Stayner says it takes about a month of work and meetings to develop a policy that fully suits a firm's needs.
However, if you're looking to do it yourself approach, it's not hard to find policy templates online.
"I always suggest DIY," says Ms. Beardsley. "There are really good social media policies freely available online. Once you start reading, you can see that they have very few differences at heart."
A host of large corporations have, in the spirit of transparency, posted theirs online. You can find the list at http://socialmediagovernance.com/policies.php.
"Focus on do's rather than don'ts, and keep it short and practical," says Ms. Beardsley. "I don't think a policy should be longer than a couple of pages; people won't read it."
If the social media users in your organization buy in, she says, establishing a simple, effective policy isn't hard. A bit of employee communication up front can save a lot of crisis communication down the road.

CAMP MURRAY, Wash. (AP) — After a week off the job, more than 700 federal technicians who work for the Washington Military Department are returning to work Tuesday.
The commander of the Washington National Guard, Maj. Gen. Bret Daugherty, said the furlough affected the staff's ability to maintain vehicles and aircraft used during emergencies.
About 80 state employees of the Military Department remain furloughed by the congressional budget impasse, and the National Guard is still not able to conduct weekend drills.

Even on a holiday, some restaurants can pack the dining room
International spots offer alternatives to turkey.
A farm dinner scheduled one month from today is shaping up to be a veritable Italian feast.
Chef Jeremy Voytish of Lidia's Pittsburgh will prepare a traditional Italian garden dinner of dishes from Lidia Bastianich's recipe box. The meal will be held at White Oak Farm in Hampton, where The Italian Garden Project houses its heirloom-seed-propagation garden, preserving traditional Italian vegetables that made their way to America in the hands of post-World War II immigrants.
Some of White Oak Farm's veggies and other local produce will be featured in the evening's menu.
White Oak Farm owner Nic DiCio, who is of half Mexican and half Italian heritage, has owned and operated Reyna Foods in the Strip District for nearly 30 years, and he holds a Hatch chile festival on his farm, so he has embraced his Mexican side for years. But now he's exploring the Italian roots, as well, not only through his partnership with The Italian Garden Project, but also by building a forno – an Italian brick oven – and rebuilding one of his grandfather's old bocce courts.
Mr. DiCio would have loved to farm his grandfather's property for a living, but 30 years ago when he was starting out, he found that the restaurant scene in Pittsburgh didn't support local farms.
"They'd buy whatever was cheapest" no matter where it came from, he said.
But in the last five years, he has seen a seismic shift in thinking among restaurant owners. Now they're eager to get produce that's "fresher and as close to the farm as possible," he said.
So he's responding by ramping up his efforts at the farm in hopes of "getting people in touch with where their food comes from." In addition to supplying some local restaurants, he also hopes to hold more produce-driven festivals and dinners on the farm.
Meanwhile, the Italian Garden Project dinner will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on Saturday, July 26. Details are still in the works, but Mary Menniti, who heads the project, plans to do a short talk or slideshow about the project's efforts to preserve Italian immigrants' stories and seeds. She's arranging for some type of live Italian music for the evening, perhaps in the form of a strolling mandolin player. If the weather is nice, diners will eat at long tables set up in the orchard; if not, they'll enjoy dinner inside Mr. DiCio's renovated barn.
This is the first time The Italian Garden Project has collaborated with Lidia's, but Ms. Menniti says it's a natural connection because Ms. Bastianich, herself an Italian immigrant, knows the value of heirloom Italian produce, and her recipes show it. Ms. Menniti first met Ms. Bastianich when she organized the baking of traditional Italian cookies for a book signing at Penguin Bookshop in Sewickley. Ms. Bastianich "identifies with The Italian Garden Project and understands what I'm doing," Ms. Menniti said, and the celebrity suggested thatshe try to work with the local Lidia's restaurant.
Some of the food for the July 26 dinner will be culled from Italian immigrants' home gardens in the Pittsburgh area, Ms. Menniti said, noting the gardeners enrolled in The Italian Garden Project are "always so generous to contribute" their produce. She even has trucked coolers full of Pittsburgh produce to events she's hosted in New York City.
Because the meal will be produce-driven, the menu is still under construction and will be based on what's plentiful in the gardens during the week of the event. But it's likely to feature heirloom tomatoes, squash, peppers or other Italian favorites, and the dishes will be based on Lidia's recipes, some from her cookbooks. Chef Voytish said it will be a "five-course dinner with wine and grappa pairings as well as prosecco and passed appetizers for a little reception when the guests first arrive."
And one dish has already been decided upon; the recipe, Lobster Salad with Fresh Tomatoes, accompanies this column.

Lobster Salad with Fresh Tomatoes
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus 6 tablespoons for the lobster pot
2 live lobsters, 1¼ pounds each
4 ripe fresh tomatoes, or 1 pound sweet, ripe cherry tomatoes
3 stalks celery, with a nice amount of leaves
1/3 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 large hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
1/4 teaspoon peperoncino flakes, or to taste
¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped
Fill the pot with 6 quarts water, add 6 tablespoons salt, and bring to a rolling boil. When the water is at a rolling boil, drop in the lobsters and start timing: cook them, uncovered, for 10 minutes total, after the water returns to the boiling point (and then keep it boiling). At the end of 10 minutes (or a couple of minutes longer if the lobsters are larger than 1 1/4 pounds), lift the lobsters from the pot, rinse with cold water, drain, and let them cool.
Core the tomatoes, and cut them into wedges, about 1 inch thick; if you have cherry tomatoes, cut them in half. Chop the celery stalks crosswise into 1-inch pieces, and chop the leaves roughly. Toss tomatoes and celery together in a large bowl with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt.
When the lobsters are cool enough to handle, twist and pull off the claws and knuckle segments where the knuckles attach to the front of the body. Lay the clawless lobsters flat on a cutting board, and split them in half lengthwise, from head to tail, with the heavy chef 's knife. Separate the meaty tail piece from the carcass (or body) of the four split halves.
Now cut the lobster into pieces of whatever size you like; put the pieces in a large mixing bowl as you work. Separate the knuckles from the claws, and crack open the shells of both knuckles and hard claw pincers with the thick edge of the knife blade, or kitchen shears, exposing the meat. Chop the knuckles into pieces at the joints.
Cut the tail pieces crosswise into chunks, or leave them whole, which I prefer. Cut the carcass pieces crosswise in two, with the legs still attached (though you can cut the legs off). I like to leave the tomalley and roe in the body pieces, as a special treat while eating the salad. Alternatively, remove tomalley and roe and whisk them into the dressing (or remove them and discard, if not to your liking).
To make the dressing: Whisk together the lemon juice, chopped eggs, peperoncino, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pour in the olive oil in a slow stream, whisking steadily to incorporate it into a smooth dressing.
To serve: Add the tomatoes and celery to the bowl of lobster pieces. Pour in the dressing, and tumble everything together until evenly coated. Scatter the parsley on top, tumbling to distribute. Arrange the salad on a large platter, or compose individual servings on salad plates.
