Emirates placed a $76-billion (Dh279.68 billion) order for 150 Boeing 777Xs while Qatar Airways signed a letter of intent for 50 Boeing 777-9X valued at over $19 billion (Dh69.7 billion). flydubai also ordered up to 100 Boeing 777MAX for $11.4 billion (Dh41.8 billion) according to Gulf News. [2]
Etihad places order
Etihad announces $25.2 billion Boeing order for 82-wide body aircraft including 777x and 787s at the Dubai Airshow on Sunday.
His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, [3] Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on Sunday opened the 13th edition of the Dubai Airshow.
The event opened at its new permanent purpose-built home near Al Maktoum International Airport at Dubai World Central.
About the Dubai Airshow
The biennial trade show brings together a who's who of the regional and global aviation industry including Emirates, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Boeing, and Airbus among others.
This year's event i [4]s set to be the largest, according to event organisers F&E Aerospace. There will be more than 1,000 exhibitors with up to 60,000 trade visitors expected.
F&E Aerospace Chief Executive Officer Sharief Fahmy said that Airshow has confirmed more 150 static aircraft displays and that the US military has confirmed fly-bys from a F22 and B1 aircraft.
The AirbusA400m military aircraft and the Boeing F/A -18E Super Hornet will be on display in the region for the first time.
Dubai-staple Emirates will display one of its Airbus A380s while Qatar Airways will have a 787 Dreamliner, Bombardier Global 5000, and a Airbus A330F on show.
Airlines will also be keen to show the changes to the interior of their fleets. Hybrid airlines flydubai and flynas (formerly nasair) will each have planes on hand displaying their respective new business classes.
Raja Azmi, flynas Chief Executive Officer said that the airline will also showcase its new airplane livery since rebranding from the nasair name.
Exhibitor space
Last month F&E Aerospace hosted the press at the new venue in Dubai World Central [5]to showcase the new location that includes an exhibitor space the size of seven American football fields.
The move to the new location has been driven by Dubai's evolving aviation sector driven by the growth of Emirates. Previously held at airport Expo near Dubai International the Airshow has moved to its new location because of the show's growth.
Fahmy previously said that the new site meant the show was subject to less flying restrictions.
At its new location the Dubai Airshow has more than twice the available space with a total site size of 645,000 kilometres.
We definitely built a venue that attracts the right type of business to the Dubai airshow," Fahmy said speaking about the new Dubai World Central location.
For the first time in the Middle East French aerospace company EADS will have an integrated presence alongside Airbus, Eurocopter, and Cassidian product static displays.
Along with the Emirates branded A380, Airbus will have a fill size A350 XWB cockpit mock-up at the show.
Airbus will also have several military aircraft on display.
American competitor Boeing [6]will look to showcase its industry partnerships at this year's Airshow.
In service with UAE Armed Forces, Boeing will have a UAE Land Forces AH-64D Apache helicopter and a UAE Air Force C-17 Gobermaster III airlifter on show along with other military displays.
The Dubai Airshow is an industry-only event hosted from November 17-21 with tickets available at the door. F&E Aerospace is holding Skyview for the first time from November 18 – 21. The family-oriented Skyview is open to the general public giving visitors access to a 4,000 grandstand to watch aerial displays along with aircraft on the ground.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., April 13 (UPI) -- Beulah Work, whose work with the Detroit branch of the NAACP helped the drive for equal voting rights, has died in Southfield, Mich., at the age of 94.
Detroit City Councilwoman JoAnn Watson, who worked with Work in the NAACP branch, called her a "role model" when it came to pushing for African-Americans' right to vote, The Detroit News reported Sunday.
"She was our role model of role models," Watson said. "She told us what she thought."
In a 2000 tribute at the Lewis College of Business, Work detailed how she was motivated by her activist grandfather's near-death experience with a Ku Klux Klan mob in Kentucky.
"Because of the strength and courage of my grandfather, my family has always believed in upholding our right to self-determination, dignity, education, the vote and justice," Work said. "And I will uphold those principles all of the days of my life."
The newspaper said Work, who died last Wednesday of unspecified causes, is survived by her sister, Dorothy White, and several nephews, nieces and cousins.

DoCoMo reaches 10 million 3G users
Post a comment
MANHASSET, N.Y. Japan's NTT DoCoMo says it has passed the 10 million user milestone for its 3G service making it, arguably, the most successful 3G service in the world.
The service, which DoCoMo calls FOMA, was launched in the fall of 2001 and is available in virtually all populated areas of Japan, according to the company. In a statement, the company attributed the rapid the rapid growth of the W-CDMA service to the fact that it offers a wide variety of handsets and its flat-rate pricing plan for accessing content on offered by its i-mode service.
While the FOMA 3G service initially was aimed at business users, the company recently started offering phones and services designed to attract consumers. For instance, earlier in February, it launched a series of phones that were less expensive and more stylish than its previous selection.

Asset building open embedded test tools
Post a comment
MANHASSET, N.Y. Asset Intertech is developing open embedded instrumentation tools based on the preliminary P1687 Internal JTAG (IJTAG) specifications.
According to Asset president and CEO Glenn Woppman, the P1687 IEEE standard is close enough to ratification to begin developing tools for it.
"Electronics manufacturers are realizing that the external design validation, test and debug technologies that they have now are simply running out of gas. As a result, chip vendors, as well as the system manufacturers themselves, are embedding instruments into silicon," said Woppman.
Both camps need open tools to work with those embedded instruments Woppman added. "For the sake of efficiency and agility, these tools must be able to manage embedded instruments from any chip vendor. This is where the IJTAG standard comes in."
Asset is applying its experience from its ScanWorks platform of boundary-scan test tools, which utilize JTAG access. The boundary-scan infrastructure embedded into chips and circuit boards is one of several technologies that can form the basis for an embedded instrumentation tool set.
In recent years, Asset has enhanced its ScanWorks platform with embedded instrumentation capabilities such as CPU-emulation functional test and signal-integrity analysis using embedded Intel IBIST (Interconnect Built In Self Test) technology. According to Asset, ScanWorks has become the boundary-scan system of choice for major communication and defense/avionics suppliers, including Cisco, Ericsson, Motorola, Alcatel-Lucent, Tellabs, Huawei, Raytheon, Rockwell, Lockheed Martin, BAE, ITT, Northrop Grumman and Smiths. In addition, ScanWorks has been adopted by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 and Delphi for automotive electronics.
It is fairly common to develop silicon or tools conforming to a preliminary standard because such support lets manufacturers become acquainted with the standard before its final ratification. "We went though this same process with the original boundary-scan standard [IEEE 1149.1 JTAG] when, as part of Texas Instruments at the time, we committed to developing tools before the standard was actually ratified," said Woppman. "In the long run, we believe we accelerated the adoption rate of boundary scan. As a tool supplier, we think it is critical at this time to send a message to the industry that we will support IJTAG."
To back up that message, Asset has hired two test experts from ATE company Verigy, which acquired test vendor Inovys in the latest round of test industry consolidation.
Al Crouch, formerly chief scientist and director of DFx research and development at Inovys, has joined Asset as chief technologist for core instrumentation. Crouch has served for the past three years as vice chairman of the P1687 IJTAG working group and has contributed to the hardware architecture definition.
John Potter, formerly the principal automation architect at Inovys, has joined Asset's IJTAG tool development effort as senior principal technologist for core instrumentation. Potter is also a member of the P1687 IJTAG working group and is focusing on the language portion of the spec.
"A great deal of validation and test instrumentation technology is being embedded into silicon these days," said Crouch. "What's needed now is an open environment that can access this volume of embedded instrumentation technology to organize it, schedule its execution, access data collected by the instruments, analyze the data, display results and exert overall control over the embedded technologies. The IJTAG standard, once it is ratified, will provide the foundation for doing this."

On the evening of February 8, 1915, Bert Massey, a Studebaker salesman and scion of Canada's well-known Massey family, was mounting the steps of the veranda of his home on Toronto's Walmer Road when his 18-year-old domestic servant, Carrie Davies, opened the front door and fatally shot him with a .32-calibre Savage automatic pistol.
This is the murder featured in Charlotte Gray's The Massey Murder: A Maid, Her Master, and the Trial That Shocked a Country. In one sense, The Massey Murder is very much in the vein of Charlotte Gray, whose histories have included biographies of Susanna Moodie, Pauline Johnson and Alexander Graham Bell. This book, like the above, is a work of history, albeit with a strong narrative bent. "I imagine but I do not invent," Gray writes in her preface. "I do not fabricate characters, events, or dialogue — anything in quotation marks comes from a written source." At a time when novels are often regarded as barely disguised autobiography, and many works of non-fiction, such as memoirs, are suspected of being made up, this declaration of the author, this pledge of allegiance to the borders between fiction and non-fiction, is refreshing. She does "speculate," she admits, but she does so "cautiously, and only when I am confident that I am more likely to be right than wrong." It's a mild form of speculation, of the "must have been" variety, as when Gray writes, "A night in the cells … must have been the most traumatic night of her life," or "She was the centre of the action, but she must have been totally bewildered."
The departure from previous works consists of her choice of subject. Whereas her previous subjects were individuals of some importance in Canadian cultural history, her protagonist in The Massey Murder is an obscure working class British immigrant whose one moment of notoriety came and went very quickly.
Gray had always wondered about forgotten lives, she explains in her preface, "the long-dead individuals who left no record behind them. What happens to anonymous, powerless individuals who are swept up by events and currents completely beyond their control?" The case of Carrie Davies provided just such an opportunity to inquire into a forgotten life.
The only thing required for this inquiry was a simple, if drastic, change of emphasis from her usual modus operandi. "This time I have used the literary equivalent of a microscope rather than a telescope as I gazed backwards across the years," she writes. "Then I lifted my head from the eyepiece and set the various characters I discovered onto the larger landscape of history."
In this case, the "landscape of history" provided by Gray is the landscape of social phenomena such as the Local Council of Women and other women's organizations devoted to social reform, the significance of the Massey family in Canadian history, the conditions under which domestic servants lived and worked, the rise of popular newspapers, and above all the outbreak of the First World War six months previous to the murder.
The danger of the method lies in our losing sight of the murderer. Our view of her comes solely from newspaper reporters, which means that after her trial she disappears from sight. No amount of peering through the microscope can resurrect her. Yet the book holds the reader's attention from beginning to end. Though we know who committed the murder, we are not entirely sure of why she did it until nearly the end. And though we have a good idea of the eventual verdict of the trial early on, there is considerable suspense concerning how such a verdict was arrived at. Thanks to newspaper reporters (no actual records of the trial exist), we have a good look at the duel between the Crown counsel and the counsel for the defence, and consequently a strong interest in the conduct of that duel. Its turning point may have been the revelation that Bert Massey had asked Carrie to put on his wife's underwear.
Gray's social history is very readable. It was a period, Gray reminds us, of great prosperity in Canada, and in Toronto particularly. "Montreal was still the Dominion's largest city and financial centre, but Toronto had emerged as Canada's industrial leader," Gray writes. None were more instrumental in that emergence than the Massey family. The murder victim's grandfather, Hart Massey, had risen from subsistence farming near Cobourg, Ont., shaping mechanical reapers and mowers in the family foundry, to mass producing products that, as Gray puts it, "made farmers' lives incomparably easier." (The Masseys were greatly helped, in this respect, by tariff walls erected against their American competition.)
As outlined by Gray, the social and political heft of the Masseys — the city's biggest employers — were equally far-reaching. Their "fierce Methodism," in Gray's words, was responsible for, among other good works, Toronto's Massey Music Hall and Fred Victor Mission. It was also responsible for the family's antipathy to frivolous Anglicans and for Toronto's famously gloomy Sundays. By and large, the Masseys supported the Toronto Daily Star, the organ of Liberal opinion in Toronto, though they could not have been happy with its support of free trade with the United States. Still, Massey money was behind the Star and therefore opposed to the Star's great rival, the pro-British, Tory newspaper, the Telegram. In the Carrie Davies trial, the Star more or less took the Massey family line that the shooter was a poor lunatic woman who should be sent packing to the nearest hospital for the insane. The Telegram, on the other hand, strenuously promoted, in its coverage of the trial, the notion that Carrie Davies was a vulnerable target of her lecherous employer, defending her virtue at all costs.
The cause of Carrie Davies was immensely helped by two circumstances. The first was the girl's impeccable Anglo-Saxon lineage. That made her image as a poor but honest British immigrant resonate with the working class English Protestants who packed the courtroom during her trial. Bert Massey's formidable sister-in-law did her cause no good when she remarked: "Some of these English girls look funny when they come out here." The statement became a joke among self-identified "funny looking" Britishers.
The second circumstance was the testimony of two doctors that the defendant was a virgin. That detail confirmed the defence's picture of a young woman fighting for her innocence.
Perhaps the only flaw in the book is the slightly over-emphasized war reportage among the other currents of Gray's narrative. There is a reason for this emphasis — Carrie Davies' resistance against her employer was deliberately linked by her counsel to the resistance of France and Belgium against an overpowering Germany. That was a chord that sounded powerfully in 1915, but its significance does not need to be quite so underlined by the author.
A grace note at the end of the book is a mention of Master and Maid, a 1985 novel by Toronto Star veteran Frank Jones, based on the murder trial. Jones managed to track down the family of Carrie Davies in the early 1980s, only to discover that Carrie had died two decades earlier, leaving a son, and a daughter named Margaret. "To his surprise," Gray writes, "he discovered that Carrie had never told her children what had happened when she was 18." Shown photocopies of the newspaper stories about the trial, Margaret broke down and wept. Gray quotes Margaret's words to Jones: "She had such a hard, hard life."

The executive of Unite held a special meeting to discuss a paper drawn up for Labour leader Ed Miliband by Lord Collins, a former union and party official.
Mr Miliband called for changes in the wake of a row over Unite's involvement in the selection of a Labour candidate in Falkirk.

He wants union members to opt in to join Labour rather than be automatically affiliated.
Unite will now support the proposals when they are discussed at a special Labour conference next month.
Labour's National Executive Committee earlier backed the proposals.
If approved, these reforms will give members a choice over whether they opt into paying affiliation fees to the Labour Party, together with an opportunity to become affiliated members of the party with the right to vote in leadership elections.
The "electoral college" for leadership votes would be scrapped in favour of a one-member one-vote system.

Candidates speak
April 13, 2010
• Full texts from Saturday's candidate speeches at the Moffat County Republican Party County Assembly
Tom Mathers
Moffat County Commission District 3 representative, running for re-election:
Thank you, Sari, for the words of encouragement. Thank you, Sherry, for your support, and thanks to all the delegates for giving up your Saturday morning to be here.
I appreciate it.
Most of you know me, but for those of you who don't, let me tell you a little about myself.
I have a love and passion for Moffat County. It comes from living here 61 years. This is my home. I'm a rancher, farmer and local business owner, all for over 41 years.
Recommended Stories For You
I served as your 1988 to 1992 county commissioner. Within that term, the coffers were full and the mill levy was lowered.
In my current term as your county commissioner, my strong Republican values start with preserving our way of life. Here in Moffat County, that is natural resources.
We cannot afford to let our governor or president take that away from us. I will continue to fight for Moffat County. I'm a conservative Republican. I believe in the common-sense approach — stay within budget and do our part to slow government growth.
I listen to the people of Moffat County and I will continue to work for you.
Today, I ask for your vote so that I may continue to serve as your Moffat County commissioner, district number 3.
Frank Moe
Candidate for Moffat County Commission District 3
This is one time people are going to appreciate that I am known as a "doer," more than a "public speaker," because I am going to keep this short.
It is humbling and an honor to stand before you today, to run for Moffat County commissioner District 3. My wife and I moved to this community almost 23 years ago, and since that time, we have been truly blessed by the people and the way of life here. I feel it is time for me to give back to this community, and that is why I am running for this office.
I know I can bring a strong, dynamic and a creative business background, plus an effective sales and marketing approach to the Board of Moffat County commissioners. I believe government should be run in a business-like manner, and I would approach this job in the same way I have all my business endeavors. I know I can help lead our community in establishing a successful vision for all of our futures.
I believe that one of the main aspects of the county commissioner's job is to strengthen our position with all other government entities, so our voices may be heard, whether that be in Steamboat Springs, Grand Junction or on the Front Range in Denver.
We must gain, and maintain, the respect of all parties of government even if we disagree with their philosophy. Only then will we have the ability to be heard on any subject that would affect our way of life and wellbeing.
I am a very good listener, and I have been very successful at managing large and small businesses. My management style is one in which I strive to utilize good people to do the jobs they have been trained for, and to allow them the latitude to get their jobs done. This will maximize our efforts together in leading this county and community to a diverse and prosperous future.
This is my condensed view on the job I am seeking. If you agree, I would greatly appreciate your support both with your vote and with your involvement in our county government if I am elected.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Audrey Danner
Moffat County Commission District 2 representative, running for re-election
My name is Audrey Danner. I currently serve as your District 2 Moffat County commissioner since my appointment in December 2008.
In May of 1974, Ron and I packed our belongings in a Chevy Vega and moved to Craig. Craig has supported our family-owned business, our two children, Ryan and Rachel, as they grew up in Craig, and grieved with us after the death of Ryan at 17. This is our home.
As a commissioner, I continue to work not only for the people of Moffat County, but I work across county lines and economic sectors as decisions are interconnected.
Our natural resource industry provides a stable economy that is influenced by the cost of extraction, the cost of the commodity, and political decisions. My decisions favor a reasonable approach to managing the extraction of these resources and caring for our land and wildlife. I met with secretary Ken Salazar at the Department of Interior in Washington, D.C., to clearly outline the critical issues of protecting our sage grouse, our public lands and our economy.
The importance of our agricultural economy, coal mining and oil and gas to our economic future influences many decisions. In the past month, we have written secretary Salazar on the speculation about the Vermillion Basin designation and the sage grouse listing. Natural resources are the basis of our economy and I will work to preserve access to economic drivers and responsible development with multiple uses.
Water, also a natural resource, is a commodity we must manage to maintain our agricultural lands, provide for the growth of our cities and towns, provide for energy development and recreation needs.
Every economic driver relies on water.
For 13 years as the executive director at Yampa Valley Partners, I produced data reports for Routt and Moffat counties. Hosting forums and listening to citizens, business owners and non-profits gave me a background in our regional economy. I am careful in my decision-making, using data and common sense.
Government is not the answer to all of our needs. Together with my fellow commissioners we are adjusting our budget for services with a reducing bottom line due to national and state factors. We are working with departments and elected officials to continue serving the citizens with services we have all come to expect.
Budget meetings with employees include discussions on the reality of fewer tax dollars in the next years. We will need to resize our county government budget and prioritize the services we can offer.
To increase the efficiency of employees and improve our communication with citizens, I am pleased to initiate a partnership for new electronic services. Our Web site is under construction and will result in budget savings.
During my tenure at Yampa Valley Partners I was asked by local governments to facilitate a three-county public-private partnership to increase telecommunications infrastructure and capacity. We have important infrastructure in place for improved delivery of business, education and health care services by private industry. Building partners comes easily to me.
I was appointed by Gov. Ritter to the Innovation Council am currently involved with a statewide broadband mapping project to encourage development of infrastructure by the private sector.
Providing information to our legislators is key to being a voice for the citizens. You can count on me to meet regularly with legislators.
As the business personal property tax discussions continue at the state level, I will be involved.
Recently, all of the commissioners worked alongside our coal industry to oppose the "fuel switching" or "clean air" legislation. This pending legislation will be detrimental to our future. Now, we will adapt to our new reality.
Each of you can count on me to listen to your concerns, learn about the issues at hand and make decisions based on fact and reason. I will continue to work with diverse opinions and find common agreement to serve the interests of Moffat County. My leadership will continue to make a difference.
Each of you has a card at your setting good for a free cup of coffee at Serendipity Coffee Shop downtown. Thank you for giving up your time this morning — enjoy a good cup of coffee.
If you would like to ask me questions or visit about the issues, please call.
I ask for your vote for District 2 commissioner. Thank you.
Tony St. John
Candidate for Moffat County Commission District 2
I want to thank Ken Nielson and Carl Sokiu for their comments.
Republican leaders and fellow delegates and guests, as I take this opportunity to speak to you today I want to ask you a very important question… Is Moffat County moving into the 21st century?
Yes, it is time for us to move forward. However, as we try to move forward as a community, we are faced with obstacles that may threaten our way of life and any progress we have or may achieve.
State leaders recently signed the House Bill – 1365 Clean Air – Clean Jobs Act… This bill has the potential to cause great changes in our way of life… If we do nothing about it… we can lose that way of life that we have grown to appreciate and care about in our community… We need to take action and it needs to happen now.
That is why I am here today. If elected I will work with other community leaders to protect our interests in Moffat County… I will take your ideas and your concerns to where they will be heard and that means to the state capital if needed.
We need to concentrate on what we have in Moffat County. We have many strengths in this great county. We have ag, ranching, hunting, tourism, economic development, energy, exploration drilling, our local businesses and our college… These are our future of Moffat County.
Moffat County is rich is coal, oil and gas, we need to be knocking on the governor's door, not just sending letters, to get whatever fees lifted that are not reasonable to the drilling companies, so they will return to Moffat County, which will create new jobs and improve our economy, while continuing to promote our other strengths that I have already mentioned.
If elected as your county commissioner, I will work with the other commissioners to invite our governor and state leaders to come to Moffat County and take a tour of our power plant, visit our city and county. Let them know the effect that their decision on HB – 1365 would have on our community.
If elected as your county commissioner I will work very hard for everyone in Moffat County to help our way of life… I will make sure our voice is heard, … Even if that means again knocking on the governor's door…
It is my hope that we remember that the Constitution of the United States of America was created for us… For the people by the people… Not for the people by the government… I ask for your support for county commission, District 2.
God bless America and thank you…
Tami Barnes
Candidate for Moffat County Commission District 2
He pretty much hit on all of my qualifications. I have been a small business owner. I have extensive finance and accounting abilities. I know how to set a budget. I know how to stick to it. I know how to run it.
I decided to start running for county commissioner when I saw this, this is our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, it's getting thrown out of the door, it's getting thrown out with the trash, not only locally, but at the state and federal levels. It is time to bring our Constitution, which everybody in here has talked about pretty much, back into Moffat County government. This is our home. This is where we live, we work and we play. We need to start using our Constitution to save ourselves and our homes and our jobs. And I ask for your vote today, so I can implement this from day one. Thank you for your time.
Larry Dalton
Candidate for Moffat County Coroner
My name is Larry Dalton and I am running for Moffat County Coroner.
My fellow Republicans, many of you I have either visited in person, at home or at work, or shared a telephone conversation and many of you received my flier in the mail.
I became familiar with Moffat County several years before I chose to move my family here. I had been here on several hunting trips and fell in love with the wide open areas and the beauty from the top of Black Mountain to the Vermillion Basin. That was 12 years ago.
Before moving to Moffat County I worked for the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office for 12 years. During my tenure at Arapahoe, I had several occasions to work with the Arapahoe County Coroner. While working for Arapahoe County, I attended the Arapahoe County Community College, where I received an associate's degree in criminal justice.
After moving to Moffat County, I went to work for the Moffat County Sheriff's Office and have been there for 12 years. During my tenure, I have had the opportunity to work closely with the Moffat County Coroner, Owen Grant, and have established a personal and professional working relationship.
Aside from my degree, I have attended several other criminal justice courses for Crime Scene Investigation. Crime Scene Investigation is very important. The coroner, at the time of the incident, will conduct his investigation and complete a written report.
This might include taking pictures, measurements and talking to witnesses.
The law enforcement agency, Colorado State Patrol, Craig Police Department or the Moffat County Sheriff's Office, that has jurisdiction will also conduct an investigation and complete a written report.
Depending on the nature of the incident, the body or bodies may need to be transported to Denver for an autopsy.
Autopsies are not done locally.
A forensic pathologist will conduct the autopsy and complete a written report.
The coroner will take all the written reports and review them to make the determination as to the cause of death. While reviewing these reports it is very important that the coroner have an understanding of criminal investigation in order to understand and interpret what has been written. The coroner must be able to compare the reports and identify any disimilarities in the reports.
In our community, we have the opportunity for a chemical incident. Whether it is a chlorine leak at Tri-State or a meth lab incident in the city or county. I have received over 80 hours of training at the Transportation Technology Center Inc. in Pueblo, Colorado. I am a certified Hazardous Material Technician and served on the Moffat County Haz-Mat team for five years.
What does that mean?
Heaven forbid, should there be a chemical incident that required Personal Protection Equipment for entry into the crime scene. I would be able to put the full encapsulated suit and air pack on and go into the crime scene and conduct the independent coroner's investigation.
There is one more very important aspect to the coroner's job. Death notification.
Death notification is not new to me. During my 24 years in law enforcement, I have had the task of notifying loved ones of a death or accident where the loved one is not expected to live. These notifications are usually late at night or in the predawn hours.
These incidents happen out of state and that local law enforcement agency will call and ask us to notify.
All of this said and done. Why do I want to be the Moffat County coroner?
I have spent a lifetime seeking knowledge and gaining experience. Much of the time, as a Deputy Sheriff, we are viewed in a negative way. As coroner for Moffat County I can use my knowledge and experience and give something back. Not only to Moffat County but to the people whose lives I will touch. I am a kind and compassionate person. With all of my qualifications and attributes, I can do what is right and just and give a timely closure. Therefore leaving a positive feeling on the family and friends in a time of need.
There are still several areas that I could talk about. However, I believe that I have outlined the basic requirements of the coroner's job. I have also outlined my qualifications for the job showing you that I am the best qualified candidate for the job. I want to thank you for your vote of confidence as you place your ballot.
Once again thanks to all the delegates who came today and thanks to the Republican Party Central Committee for all their hard work.
And, last but not least, a special thanks to Owen Grant for the excellent job he has done for the eight years.
Kirk McKey
Candidate for Moffat County Coroner
Let's talk about the coroner. There are going to be changes this year. The coroner's office has been associated with the mortuary for as long as I can remember and that has been good for Moffat County. But this is a year of change. Now we need somebody to step up and take in this office and that is why I was one of the first people to announce their candidacy for coroner.
Everybody says 'why do you want to be around all these dead bodies?' It is not the dead bodies so much as it is the investigation. The coroner has got to determine the cause of death, the time of death. He is responsible for the body and has custody of it until it is released back to the family.
Now I began back in January learning about this office to see if it was a fit for me and it is. All of this interests me. I have already visited with Owen Grant on several occasions about what is involved with this position and what needs to be done. On average, the coroner handles 50 investigations a year. So theoretically that is about one a week, but we know that is not how it takes place.
I have a work schedule that allows me flexibility and freedom to handle this position.
The biggest change for Moffat County is going to be the coroner's budget. Owen has vehicles for transport. Owen has storage facilities. These are the mortuary's. These aren't the county's. So in a few months, or probably sooner, the commissioners are getting ready to do the budget for the coroner's office for next year. But Owen is not going to be there. Either Larry or I will be in that position. So this budget is going to be very important because you have already heard that the revenues of the county are shrinking, so we have got to be very cost effective in how we run this office.
I'm your man. I work with budgets all the time. I have served on many boards, and if you have served on a board, what do you deal with? Budgets. I am very good at that and I think that I can take the coroner's office into the next four years and serve Moffat County in the same way Owen Grant has done it in the last eight years.
I have already visited with the chief of police, I have already visited with the Sheriff. I believe that the office of coroner is about building relationships also.
The other thing that I have learned about the coroner's office is that the newly elected coroner has to attend a 40-hour training put on by the state. This is put on in the second week in December, normally in December I take the last week off for vacation with the family, but we are making other arrangements so that if the 40-hour training becomes available, I can take that week off and be there. That is a continuing education every year. I love continuing education as required in my current profession. So that is something that will be a great match for me.
The position of coroner is kind of interesting in the fact that across the state there are many different occupations that coroners hold. For example, our neighbor in Routt County, is a pastor. So the state mandates this office and the state trains the coroner as to how they expect the investigations to be done.
My record shows that I'm a doer. Every organization that I have belonged to, every committee I have served on, I contributed, I try to make it a great organization or one better when I leave and that is what I plan to do with coroner. I'm asking you to make me your coroner for the next four years. You put me in that position and I will take this job and I will make sure that it is conducted very effectively, very economically and with the responsibility that should be done.
Now autopsies. The coroner has to make a decision if there will be an autopsy or not and that involves transportation. And again, the county doesn't own transportation equipment to take care of this, the mortuary does so it is going to be very important, in my opinion, to have a great working relationship to use some of the facilities that they have.
The other part of that is, is Denver the most cost effective place to have the autopsy done? Is Grand Junction better? I don't know, but I guarantee you by the time January gets here, I will know that.
So this is how much I have learned in just a few short months about the office. By the time August gets here and it's our primary election, I will have a fairly good grasp on it and then by the time its time to take office in January, I will have a very thorough understanding and experience and knowledge in a lot of these areas that are required.
So I haven't called you all at home, I haven't been by to see you. I have tried to be respectful of your time because we have a lot of important decisions to make, and until just recently I was unopposed and I just thought I could tell you everything about me that you want to know in a very short time this morning. However, I did put my phone number in the phone book. Please call with any questions. But if you put me in the coroner position, I will pledge to it 100 percent of my ability to do that office, and do a good job for Moffat County.
Thank you all very much.
Mike Brinks
Candidate for Moffat County Treasurer
My name is Mike Brinks and I'm running for Moffat County Treasurer. Thank you, Dave, Dean, and Dave for your kind words. I accept your nomination.
I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to participate in the county assembly, the most grassroots of all politics in this country. Thank you also to the central committee for the time and effort to make this all happen.
I was told that as my letter to the precinct caucus was being read that three people fell asleep at one of the precincts. I assume that the rest of you heard all about my qualifications for the office of treasurer. I think that most of you know that I am qualified for the office.
County treasurer is a big job that handles a lot money. You need education and experience to make sure that tax dollars are safeguarded and distributed correctly. A large part of that is done with internal accounting controls. I have spent a lot of time in class learning about the how's and why's and wherefor's of controls. Accounting controls minimize errors, and bring errors to light when they are made. I have witnessed firsthand when controls are implemented and working and when they are not, and we must be vigilant that our controls not become efficient.
At the risk of putting some of you to sleep, let me talk for a minute about the budget. Whether it is Trapper Mining, Bernie Businessman, Rick Rancher, or the school district, you always have to keep an eye on expenditures and look for ways to cut costs or become more efficient if you are going to stay in business. It should be no different at the county government. I studied the county budget when I served on the citizen's budget advisory board, and more recently have looked at the treasurer's budget. I think that we can save some tax dollars. I started thinking about it in January, when I read in the newspaper about approving a computer contract for something like $170,000 over three years. It would be a priority of mine, if elected, to look into this contract, and, if need be, to change vendors.
Comparing the treasurer's computer budget with the assessor's and the clerk's, I believe that we should be able to save up to $40,000 per year. There are other, smaller line items that also need to be looked at very closely.
Now, I have a confession to make.
I'm hard of hearing. I have tinnitus, which is a constant ringing in my ears, which makes it difficult to hear clearly over the ringing that is always there. I wear hearing aids, which help, but do not cure the problem. This doesn't mean that my brain doesn't function. I know that it's annoying if I ask you to repeat yourself, but I do so because what you have to say is important to me and I wanted to understand. It is worst when there are many people talking at the same time, or there is background noise, but the treasurer's office is usually a quiet environment in which we can converse in a normal tone.
I would like to leave you with a final thought. You are the owner of one of the largest companies in town, with a large cash flow. You need to hire a finance officer to oversee the financial operations and investments of your company. You have two resumes. They are the resumes for county treasurer.
Who are you going to hire?
You, the delegate, have a choice. You, the taxpayer, demand the best for the county.
What kind of government do you want?
Thank you.
Elaine Sullivan
Candidate for Moffat County Treasurer
Good morning.
Thank you, Tim. Thank you, Lila. Thank you, Daddy.
Your support and confidence in me is gratifying, indeed, even flattering. Thank you so much.
An institution may spread itself over the entire community. It may employ people, but the average person will almost always form a judgment of it through their contact with one individual.
If a person is discourteous, inefficient, or ineffective, it will take much time and energy to overcome that bad impression.
Each member of an organization, who in any capacity comes in contact with the public is an agent, and the impression made is an advertisement, good or bad, which will make an indelible impression on the mind of the public.
I am of service. What I do makes a difference in people's lives. This has been the mindset I've closely held these many years. I serve Moffat County.
My experienced leadership can be witnessed by the customer service I have pledged to you, through my staff. I have the respect and support of the entire current treasurer's office staff, who embody the same dedication, experience and work ethic expected by you.
My 28 years of service has given me much insight in government and county process. It has given me experience in increasing and declining budgets, all the while maintaining budget discipline.
Today, I come before you as an experienced candidate with a record. A record of dedication and commitment. A record of service. A record of work ethic. A record of leadership.
As your treasurer, I will work conscientiously on behalf of the citizens of Moffat County to ensure the safety and liquidity of the funds entrusted to me in order for the county to meets its obligations in the most timely and efficient manner possible. Business is conducted by the law, implemented with integrity, transparency and fiscal restraint. This I will continue as your country treasurer.
I appreciate your support and ask for your vote.
Thank you.
Carol Scott
Candidate for Moffat County Assessor:
Good morning.
My name is Carol Scott and I am a candidate for Moffat County Assessor. Many thanks to the central committee for organizing the assembly and keeping us informed.
I would also like to thank Suzanne and Jennifer for nominating me. Their friendship and support are invaluable. I'm proud to know that my candidacy is endorsed by my boss and co-workers.
Because this is the first time I have run for office, it has been quite a learning experience and no doubt will continue to be. It hasn't been easy at times, but it has been an opportunity for personal and professional growth, much like my career in the assessor's office.
I hope by now most of you are familiar with my qualifications — specifically my experience, education and licensure. On a more personal note, I would describe myself as honest, hardworking and team oriented. I think people appreciate the fact that I listen, and that I generally don't lose my composure.
These traits come in handy sometimes in our office — specifically during protest period, a lively time of year when I get to meet a lot of new people.
Honestly though, one of the best parts of my job is interacting with the public and having the opportunity to talk about why and how we value their property. I hope that people feel they can come into the assessor's office to voice their concerns and have questions answered in a professional manner. Most of the data we collect and analyze is public record. We are happy to present it and make sense of it.
Like all county offices, the assessor's office is bound by laws, statutes and guidelines. Four out of six staff members are licensed appraisers. This licensure comes with its own set of legal and ethical standards that if violated may result in license revocation. Compliance with the standards and ethics of our licensure is very important to us.
Our staff strives to be accurate, efficient, accountable and most importantly, equitable.
Failure in this regard has expensive consequences for the county. One example would be the failure to properly value a classification of property, resulting in unrealized revenue. Another example would be to fail the annual state audit, which would result in a reappraisal order that the county would be required to pay for. This actually happens in some counties. We have never had any compliance issues with the audit. In fact, we have been commended for newly implemented appraisal practices.
If I am elected assessor, the commitment to equitably value property and meet compliance standards will continue. I live in this county and am accountable to the public for the work that I do.
Another important duty of any elected official is the willing participation in countywide planning and problem solving. I look forward to working with the commissioners, other elected officials and department heads to improve the services provided to county residents. Through collaboration, we ensure that the statutory duties of each office are met.
I will be out in the community campaigning in the coming months and I welcome your questions, comments and suggestions.
Thank you for your time, consideration and support. I respectfully ask to be placed on the ballot as a candidate for Moffat County Assessor in the August primary election.
Tim Jantz
Moffat County Sheriff, running for re-election:
Thank you, Elaine.
Mr. Chairman and members of this assembly:
I have greatly enjoyed being your sheriff during the past three years. There have been many challenges that needed to be overcome, but let me tell you, I enjoyed every minute of it.
I feel great compassion for the people of Moffat County, and I am going to continue to work hard to ensure the safety of our community.
When I started my campaign to be your sheriff, I was very compassionate about the safety and concerns of the people of Moffat County. I want to ensure you that I have not lost one ounce of that passion and commitment.
I believe I accomplished many of my goals since I have been elected as Moffat County Sheriff. My staff and I worked endless hours to provide excellent service to the citizens of Moffat County. I take great pride in having a staff that believes in me and has helped me to achieve my goals. We want to continue to be approachable and available to all of our citizens in the county. We want to continue to encourage people to express their needs. We want the sheriff's office to be a positive and safe work environment.
All of us have worked hard to meet the needs of the citizens of Moffat County and I believe that we have been good stewards of the taxpayer's money. My administrative staff and I have stuck by Republican standards and managed money responsibly and we want to continue to do so. I believe that my staff and I have served our county well in the past three years.
The safety and protection of our citizens remains one of my main goals. The continuing meth problem continues to be a high priority, and upcoming budget constraints may change how we actively do drug enforcement, but I am committed to pursuing illegal drug activity to the best of our abilities for the safe environment of our children.
In closing, I would like to thank the people of Moffat County for giving me the privilege and honor of being your sheriff for the last three years, and I ask the members of this assembly for your support.
Thank you.
Lila Herod
Candidate for Moffat County Clerk & Recorder
Thank you, Corrie and Elaine. Good morning fellow Republicans and delegates. I am grateful and honored to accept the designation as the Republican Party's candidate for Moffat County Clerk & Recorder.
In 1989, Barbara Baker hired me as her new part-time employee and over the years this job I fell into has become my lifelong career. As an employee of the clerk's office, I have a proven and consistent work ethic and I have excelled in my pursuit to obtain the education and excellence necessary to serve as your county clerk.
As you all know, my candidacy has been challenged under the Hatch Act, and I was instructed to withdraw from the race or resign my position in order to continue my campaign.
I sought a decision from the Office of Special Counsel and why I didn't just keep this Hatch Act information "under wraps." And my answer is simple enough — for 20 years I have served as the county's election director and I take pride in this position. It is my duty and responsibility to conduct open, honest and transparent elections. In my professional position, how could I ignore the implications that have been directed my way? I will not shrink my duties or hide behind any law in order to protect my job.
This is one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make, and I have to tell you I haven't always felt very confident about my decision, but on the very day I decided to resign, I received an email from my friend Kelly Cook. It was a little story with a very profound lesson, and I would like to share it with you…
One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well…
The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovels load later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off.
Along with this story, Kelly sent me a message. She said. "Hang in there, Lila. The farmers messed with the wrong donkey!"
Now I realize this is a Republican Assembly and I am not a donkey… I am an elephant.
I'm not sure if it was coincidence or divine intervention, but this little story has become a part of my daily thought process.
I love my work in the election office and because of the term limits it has been a natural progression that I would run for county clerk.
My situation is proof that you're never fully in control of your destiny. Sometimes life throws you a curve ball or tends to shovel dirt on you … The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. And this is how I've decided to run my campaign.
I'm going to shake it off and take a step up.
Now, as I've only been unemployed for eight days, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I'm grateful for this opportunity for personal growth.
It's easy to stand before you and tell you that I will maintain my integrity and choose to make the right choices even at personal sacrifice. But I've literally been given the opportunity to prove that I will not only say the right things … I will do the right things and I am willing to make these hard decisions.
I'm thankful for the love and support of my family and friends who gave me the strength and confidence to act. I have said all along that my fight is not with the federal government. My fight is for the right to run my campaign and to serve as your county clerk. I believe my actions are evidence of that commitment.

Travel restrictions remain in effect this week on Interstate 10 east of Tucson as the Arizona Department of Transportation continues guardrail work on a three-mile segment of the interstate near the Marsh Station interchange.
Lane closures are in effect each day through Friday, April 25 from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. between mileposts 288 and 291.
One lane will remain open in each direction at all times and the posted speed limit is reduced to 45 mph in the project area.
The work is part of a $17.2 million project that has separated eastbound and westbound I-10 by constructing new alignments in each direction.
ADOT advises drivers to proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.
ADOT works to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but there is a possibility that unscheduled closures or restrictions may occur. Weather can also affect a project schedule. To stay up-to-date with the latest highway conditions around the state, visit the ADOT Traveler Information Center at www.az511.gov or call 511.

Many years ago my husband, Todd, saw a spark in me I had ignored for years in light of the pressing needs of three preschoolers and my responsibilities as a stay-at-home mom. First, Todd gave me the gift of an online writing class. When the class was over and I was writing regularly in the wee hours of the morning before the kids were up, Todd arranged and paid for a series of mentorships with more experienced writers. Without those mentorships, my writing life would have languished. I needed guidance and specific feedback that went beyond a "how to" book, and my mentors provided the outside input that eventually ushered me into a robust writing life, published essays, and a first book. I went on to do graduate work in creative writing, publish two more books and many more essays, and to teach and mentor other writers. I love my writing life—but I wouldn't be where I am now without my husband's confidence in my gifts and his practical and financial support.
Now I'm a writing mentor myself, and I can offer the very services that made all the difference for me when I was getting started. I've created three holiday packages this year, and each one includes an attractive gift certificate in a holiday gift bag.
$300 / Mentorship
Individualized feedback on up to three essays or memoir excerpts (up to 7,000 words in total). The writer will submit work to me on mutually agreed upon deadlines, and for each writing submission I will provide either 1-3 single-spaced pages of feedback or 1-3 comments per page. Along with the gift certificate, the writer in your life will receive a signed copy of my limited-edition craft book, Creative Nonfiction Toolbox: Exploring Form and Method. The book includes my five chapters on writing craft along with a six-essay anthology including work by Brenda Miller, Bret Lott, Lee Martin, and others.
$150 / Consulting
Two hours of manuscript feedback, one-on-one instruction, coaching, or advice.
$100 / Essay-length manuscript evaluation (up to 3,000 words)
1 – 3 comments per page plus a 5 – 10 minute screencast or one page of single-spaced feedback.
1 – 3 comments per page plus a 5 – 10 minute screencast or one page of single-spaced feedback.
Mad Money / Credit of any amount to be spent on any combination of services (editing, critique, publishing guidance, consulting). Certificate can be printed to reflect hours rather than dollar amount. Email me directly if you're interested in this option.
Once you purchase a certificate, I will be in touch via email (or phone if you prefer) within 24 hours to confirm receipt and gather any necessary information about the services you'd like to purchase. I will ship the same day via Priority Mail. Certificate and gift bag can be mailed to you (the giver) or directly to the recipient—just let me know your preference.
I can only guarantee pre-Christmas delivery for orders placed before December 20, but for orders placed after December 20, I will be happy to provide a digital gift certificate by return email or Christmas Day email from me to your loved one.

Since Twitter found it's niche in the social media world several years ago, reporters, fans and players alike have enjoyed the free rein (within 140 characters, of course) it gives them to express themselves.
Reporters love it because they can link their followers to stories quickly and hook you with just a few intriguing details of their story.
Fans love the proximity it gives them to their favorite athlete. With just one "@" sign you can ensure that your favorite athlete can read exactly how you feel about their play, their attitude, their personal life, etc.
But just because they can see it, doesn't mean they always do.
Linebacker Shaun Phillips has more than 436,000 followers on his Twitter page. If even half his followers tweeted him in one day it would be nearly impossible for him to do anything else with his day if he wanted to reply to all of them.
Despite their large number of followers the players love Twitter and the access and freedom it gives them as well.
So often in a locker room they have to go by an agenda. Whether it's their public relations staff, their coaches or the reporters. Rarely do they get the chance to talk about what they want, they just answer questions.
With Twitter, players interact with the fans in a way that was never possible before. They can ask your opinion on dinner places, one of offensive lineman Antonio Garay's favorite questions.
Chargers tight end Antonio Gates posts contests on his Twitter page where fans can tweet him to win jerseys and tickets.
Phillips loves his Twitter and uses it multiple times a day.
In the guest blog on the Chargers website he said, " I love that you just get to say whatever you want to say. You get to have your own opinion without having to deal with what reporters or commentators think you mean. You get your point across and make a connection all by yourself."

When you leave your house for school in the morning, does your mom complain that you are wearing too much makeup? If you're not sure what the right amount of makeup is to wear, there are a couple things to do to make sure that you are not wearing too much makeup. Here are a couple of helpful hints:
1) How much time do you spend putting on your makeup? If you are spending more than 25 minutes put on makeup in the morning, there is a good chance that you are wearing too much makeup. For an average person with natural looking makeup, the average amount of time to apply makeup is usually 10-15 minutes. This time frame is for a person who wears light mascara, eye liner, eye shadow, foundation, blush, and lip gloss/lipstick. If you can apply all this makeup within this time frame, it is probably light and natural looking, so that it is not too much makeup.
2) Do your features look dark and harsh? Too much makeup often ends up looking like the lines of your face are harsh and dark. You want to make sure that makeup gives you a very soft, womanly look. If you makeup lines are looking very dark, then you probably are wearing too much. Try to wear lighter makeup during the day, and only let your makeup be slightly darker when you go out at night.
3) What kinds of colors are you using? Remember, the purpose of makeup is to naturally highlight and accentuate your facial features. If you are not wearing natural colors, and your makeup detracts from your features instead of highlighting them, you might be wearing too much makeup. For example, wearing a lot of bright blue eye shadow and dark red blush probably is going to look like you're wearing too much makeup.
Another thing which is a sure-fire indicator of too much makeup is the color of foundation. If your foundation color doesn't match your skin completely, it can make you face look either orange or pasty. Also look closely at the way you blend your makeup – does your makeup look caked-on or does it rub off on your clothes? If you feel like either of these things applies to you, then you probably have too much makeup on.
The color of your eyeliner can determine if it looks like you're wearing too much makeup. If you have blonde hair and wear black liquid eyeliner on top and underneath your eyes, it might be too much black to highlight your skin. If you do prefer to wear black liquid eyeliner, make sure that you apply it in a thin line, close to the roots of your lashes. The thicker your eyeliner is, and the further away it gets from your eyelash roots, the more likely it will appear that you have too much makeup on.
4) Are you wearing every single makeup product that is available? When wearing makeup, it is a good thing to keep in mind that you don't have to wear every single makeup product that is on the store shelf. Generally, someone who wears foundation, concealer, powder, blush, mascara, eye liner, a few shades of eye shadow, lip liner, and lipstick is probably wearing too much makeup! Remember, you don't have to wear every single makeup product that's out there. For example, you might have naturally rosy cheeks and not need to wear blush! Or, you might have very even skin tones and not need to wear foundation at all! If you have relatively dry skin, there is not a reason to wear powder, because it's really geared to help get rid of shiny faces. Remember, always strive to have a natural appearance, and your makeup will look great!


text: Hi, I have four questions regarding archival washing & toning. My procedure after fixing is as follows: 5m wash 5m HCA 60m wash* 5m selenium tone 1:19 (I know this is not a full tone for archival purposes) 5m wash 5m HCA 60m wash. *Do I need to do that first 60m wash before toning or am I over doing it? I read in Tim Rodmansa book on toning that when HCA is used after fixing, then moderate over-washing or slight under-washing is not important if toning for permanence is to be subsequently carried out. How does this apply to a partly toned print? I have recently obtained the HT-2 Hypo Test Solution for testing washing efficiency. Should this be used after both of my 60m washes or only after the final wash. I understand that staining can occur if a print is not properly fixed or washed before toning in selenium. Would such staining appear immediately or over time? Thanks, Peter

A thief or thieves stole several blocks worth of wiring from Alhambra's street light system over the past week, authorities said.
The thefts, which were initially believed to have caused more than $20,000 in damage, took place between Saturday and Tuesday, Alhambra police Sgt. Jerry Johnson said.
The first incident was discovered Sunday afternoon after a resident reported that the street lights in a neighborhood along the 1300 block of South Westminster Avenue and the 2800 block of Shorb Street never came on Saturday night, the sergeant said.
Police and work crews soon realized the outage was not a mechanical failure but the result of about 2,000 feet of wire being stripped from the system, Johnson said. The wire was believed to have been taken sometime between Saturday morning and Sunday.
An even larger wire theft was discovered Tuesday, police said.
"The wires were removed on the east and west sides of Winthrop (Drive) between Poplar Boulevard and Conchord (Avenue)," Johnson said. The theft apparently occurred sometime between Sunday and Tuesday.
Wiring had also been stripped in the same area along Commonwealth Avenue between Winthrop Drive and Westmont Drive.
"It's certainly something our detectives are looking into," Johnson said.
No witnesses had come forward to provide a concrete link between the two wire thefts, he said.
Police asked anyone who sees a suspicious person tampering with wiring to notify authorities immediately. In general, city work crews do not work after 3 p.m.
Additionally, police expressed concern over the possibility that wires left exposed by the thief or thieves could be energized and pose a danger. Anyone who sees exposed wires is urged not to touch them and contact police immediately.
As two alleged would-be thieves discovered earlier this month, electrical wiring theft can be a dangerous endeavor.
A man was badly shocked on Oct. 19 while attempting to steal wire from the abandoned Fred C. Nelles facility in Whittier, according to California Highway Patrol Sgt. Charles Quijada.
On Oct. 13, a man suffered severe burns and was hospitalized in critical condition after he received a 12,000-volt jolt while trying to steal wiring from a Southern California Edison facility in the 9900 block of Beverly Boulevard in Pico Rivera, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Robert Smith said.
But rising metal prices provide an incentive for thieves to cash in on ill-gotten copper.
According to Kitco, a Canadian precious metals company that charts the price of metals, copper was selling Wednesday for $3.30 per pound, up from about $3.05 as recently as August.
The price of copper has more than doubled over the past five years, according to Kitco data. Copper could be purchased in late 2008 for well under $1.50 per pound.

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time.
The Final Fantasy games are finally arriving on PC. A while ago, I decided to play through every game in the series, in order. It's currently possible to play through 3-9 and I'm happy enough to begin at three, given that many fans had told me it was a good starting point. I've played for around an hour – 64 minutes says Steam – and have absolutely no desire to continue. Have you played it? Am I wrong to give up so quickly?

A minimalist game about jumping and friendship and floating and bouncing and anti-gravity.
We all have fears and obstacles we can't conquer by ourselves. We're fragile, vulnerable beings who sometimes need a helping hand to get through the day. We're creatures of habit, creatures who want to be left alone at times and desperately need companionship others. Thomas Was Alone is a story that looks at all of these tropes of human nature, and it expresses them. This is a story that makes you look at yourself and the vulnerabilities inside of you while telling an incredible tale of companionship, friendship, and self-exploration. You start off as the titular Thomas, a lone red rectangle stuck in a not-so-complex space with walls and roadblocks that aren't all that difficult to get through. Soon, however, Thomas encounters an orange square named Chris. This... Read Review

ISLAMABAD: The first meeting of the reconstituted National Economic Council (NEC), presided over by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Monday, remained divided over two major issues.
According to sources, the centre informed the provinces that about Rs67 billion worth of small and medium development projects in the provinces previously funded from the federal resources would no more be on that portfolio.
"The provinces were asked to take over these projects and finance them from their own sources so that financial burden on the federal government could be reduced," an official said. The provinces were also told that since their resources had gone up following their increased share out of the federal divisible pool, there was no reason for the federal government to continue execution of projects whose benefits were restricted to provinces.
As the provincial governments protested, the prime minister decided that a special committee on review of the PSDP, comprising the chief ministers, should also deliberate on the issue to identify the projects and decide how to move forward.
The federal government also informed the provinces that a block allocation of Rs115bn for its 'new development initiatives' would be available for federal projects and the provinces would not be given any share.—Staff Reporter

"I would like to thank you for the gift that surprisingly over-shocked my fiancee when he came into his room, it was already there... he was even so boastful taking picture and sending it to me thinking it was from the hotel like a giveaways since Chinese new year was just over, and a told him to go over if there was a note... he was even more shocked when he saw the line 'Hi babe' and made him curios how could it be from the hotel? Later he just knew, it was from me..so cute and I'm really happy he was so surprised and really making his day even when I am away ;)..thanks gift baskets overseas, thanks for making our valentines day & our upcoming 2nd yr anniversary possible for us... it was really great indeed.. Warm greetings, Elvira"
