Postal Service to stop Saturday mail serviceBy PAULINE JELINEK
The Associated Press | February 06,2013WASHINGTON — The U.S. Postal Service will stop delivering mail on Saturdays but continue to deliver packages six days a week under a plan aimed at saving about $2 billion annually, the financially struggling agency says.
In an announcement scheduled for later Wednesday, the service is expected to say the Saturday mail cutback would begin in August.
The move accentuates one of the agency's strong points — package delivery has increased by 14 percent since 2010, officials say, while the delivery of letters and other mail has declined with the increasing use of email and other Internet services.
Under the new plan, mail would be delivered to homes and businesses only from Monday through Friday, but would still be delivered to post office boxes on Saturdays. Post offices now open on Saturdays would remain open on Saturdays.
Over the past several years, the Postal Service has advocated shifting to a five-day delivery schedule for mail and packages — and it repeatedly but unsuccessfully appealed to Congress to approve the move. Though an independent agency, the service gets no tax dollars for its day-to-day operations but is subject to congressional control.
It was not immediately clear how the service could eliminate Saturday mail without congressional approval.
But the agency clearly thinks it has a majority of the American public on its side regarding the change.
Material prepared for the Wednesday press conference by Patrick R. Donahoe, postmaster general and CEO, says Postal Service market research and other research has indicated that nearly 7 in 10 Americans support the switch to five-day delivery as a way for the Postal Service to reduce costs.
"The Postal Service is advancing an important new approach to delivery that reflects the strong growth of our package business and responds to the financial realities resulting from America's changing mailing habits," Donahoe said in a statement prepared for the announcement. "We developed this approach by working with our customers to understand their delivery needs and by identifying creative ways to generate significant cost savings."
The Postal Service is making the announcement Wednesday, more than six months before the switch, to give residential and business customers time to plan and adjust, the statement said.
"The American public understands the financial challenges of the Postal Service and supports these steps as a responsible and reasonable approach to improving our financial situation," Donahoe said. "The Postal Service has a responsibility to take the steps necessary to return to long-term financial stability and ensure the continued affordability of the U.S. Mail."
He said the change would mean a combination of employee reassignment and attrition and is expected to achieve cost savings of approximately $2 billion annually when fully implemented.
The agency in November reported an annual loss of a record $15.9 billion for the last budget year and forecast more red ink in 2013, capping a tumultuous year in which it was forced to default on billions in retiree health benefit prepayments to avert bankruptcy.
The financial losses for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30 were more than triple the $5.1 billion loss in the previous year. Having reached its borrowing limit, the mail agency is operating with little cash on hand.
The agency's biggest problem — and the majority of the red ink in 2012 — was not due to reduced mail flow but rather to mounting mandatory costs for future retiree health benefits, which made up $11.1 billion of the losses. Without that and other related labor expenses, the mail agency sustained an operating loss of $2.4 billion, lower than the previous year.
The health payments are a requirement imposed by Congress in 2006 that the post office set aside $55 billion in an account to cover future medical costs for retirees. The idea was to put $5.5 billion a year into the account for 10 years. That's $5.5 billion the post office doesn't have.
No other government agency is required to make such a payment for future medical benefits. Postal authorities wanted Congress to address the issue last year, but lawmakers finished their session without getting it done. So officials are moving ahead to accelerate their own plan for cost-cutting.
The Postal Service is in the midst of a major restructuring throughout its retail, delivery and mail processing operations. Since 2006, it has cut annual costs by about $15 billion, reduced the size of its career workforce by 193,000 or by 28 percent, and has consolidated more than 200 mail processing locations, officials say.
They say that while the change in the delivery schedule announced Wednesday is one of the actions needed to restore the financial health of the service, they still urgently need lawmakers to act. Officials say they continue to press for legislation that will give them greater flexibility to control costs and make new revenues.MORE IN This Just InThe Associated Press Full StoryThe Associated Press Full StoryStaff Report Full Story

Welcome to All About Garcinia Gambogia
The Garcinia species are evergreen trees and shrubs which are usually dioecious. The fruit is a berry with fleshy endocarp, which in several species is delicious. The fruit Garcinia Cambogia was once just the less popular cousin of a trendy fruit, the Mangosteen. But now, nutritional supplements containing Garcinia Cambogia extract have become the latest trend in nutrition, respected for their appaerent ability to curb appetite and initiating weightloss The Gambooge fruit, also known as the Malabar tamarind, grows across southwest India, Myanmar and Indonesia. It ripens to a red or yellowish fruit about the size of an orange, but more resembling the shape of a pumpkin. Native cultures have long used the dried gambooge rinds for chutneys or curries, and sometimes as medicine, especially for reducing stomach aches. Right around the 1960s, scientists identified a substance in the rind of the fruit called Hydroxycitric Acid, or HCA, which has some potentially attractive qualities in the areas of weightloss as well as diabetes.
Where to Find Garcinia Cambogia?
You might find fresh fruits during a stroll through the your closest market or whole foods shop. Beyond that, it's not very widely shipped throughout the world. You have better luck finding it in its dried, blackened form, or as a nutritional supplement in health food stores. These fruits are generally green when unripe, and vary in color once ripened as they turn hues of red, orange, yellow and brownish yellow. You can also find Garcinia Cambogia supplements for free all over the internet. Although as all other nutritional supplements care should be taken when purchasing them. Make sure you check weather the seller is is legitimate. you can do this by checking reviews on several sites.
Garcinia Cambogia as a Weightloss Supplement
Recently, there has been a boom in the sales of Garcinia Cambogia Supplements due to its now widely known weighloss properties. Most sellers will let you try out a FREE trial, but you ave to watch out for the legitimacy of their productions as many sellers use cheap Hydrocitric Acids instead of the Real Fruit extract. Just checking review sites is enough to see where to get the quality suplements.
How to Prepare The Fruit
he Garcinia Cambogia have to be prepared just like the Mangosteen fruit, this is because of theeir similar, fleshy properties. Youll want to slice knife only partly through the pliant, yet thick flesh along its ridged lines. This will be enough for you to manually "crack" open the fruit with your hands. The edible fruit will be revealed inside and from there, its fleshy pods can be scooped out easily.

Hillary Clinton had been scheduled to testify last month before a House committee, but was hospitalized due to a blood clot in her head.
WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will testify Jan. 23 before the House Foreign Affairs Committee about the deadly Sept. 11, 2012, assault on the U.S. mission in Libya.
That's the word from Rep. Ed Royce, chairman of the panel. He said in a statement late Monday that Clinton will answer questions about the raid that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans in Benghazi.
Clinton had been scheduled to testify last month, but she suffered a concussion when she fainted due to dehydration from a stomach virus. She was later hospitalized with a blood clot in her head.
She has planned to step down and President Barack Obama has nominated Sen. John Kerry to replace her.

EDIT: To all billion of you upset about the volume of the character "voices" compared to the actual song, send your complaints to the original creator of the song. I simply animated to the MP3 I had, and couldn't alter it in any way. There's nothing I could've done to change it, sorry.
This was a little idea I came up with practically on a whim last Sunday. I finished the whole thing in a little under a week, and I think it turned out pretty well. Back in 2004, a dude by the name of Martin Hagwell, also known as "Märta" made a song out of the BGM from the "Forest Maze" level from Super Mario RPG for the SNES. Just recently, he remixed the song he created into a full-fledged professional sounding song, titled "Rawest Forest". After finding the song by chance last weekend thanks to a YouTube video, I took a listen, and got the idea for this movie. Mario RPG is one of my absolute favorite games of ALL time, and I know it inside and out. Those who know the game as well as I do will catch all of the references scattered throughout the animation. I also used this as a test to try out some new little tricks with animation. The good majority of the movie is frame-by-frame, and yes, I know the drawings're a little crappy (I don't have a tabley, unfortunately), but I enjoyed working on it throughout my last full week of High School (YAY), and it doubled as the final for my animation class, so that's even better! Anyway, hope you enjoy it for what it is. I certainly had a ball.

"Easter has its origins in the world of the occult. The Occult / Satanic calender is comprised of four periods of 13 weeks each. Occultists believe that numbers contain inherent power, and many base their lives on numerology. Thus the occult calendar is divided into 4 parts of 13 weeks each. Note that 13 x 4 = 52 weeks – our year! So, in the occult or satanic world, the number 13 represents the state of man's having reached divine perfection, self-achieved perfection, and illumination. According to 8th century scholar St. Bede (also known as the Venerable Bede / Bede, the Venerable), the name Easter is derived from the Scandinavian "Ostra" and the Teutonic "Ostern" or "Eastre" - both of whom were goddesses of mythology and were identified with spring and fertility. Festivals for these goddesses were celebrated on the first day of the vernal equinox – March 21. Important parts of these pagan celebrations included the rabbit, colored eggs, and gifts – all of which represented fertility. Easter is steeped in the Mysteries of ancient Babylon – an evil and idolatrous system invented by and promoted by Satan – the father of lies! (John 8:44, II Corinthians 11:14, 1 Peter 5:8) Ishtar – the Babylonian goddess – is the one for whom Easter is named. Ishtar is but another name for Semiramis – the wife of Nimrod. Semiramis and Nimrod instituted the building of the tower of Babel and are the co-founders of all the counterfeit religions that have ever existed." - Source"If we remember the biblical day begins with sunset, then we will clearly see from scriptures that Christ was raised from the dead long before sunrise Sunday.John 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
Matthew 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

Smoke rises a fire at the cabin where accused triple murderer Christopher Dorner is believed to be holed up in mountains above Los Angeles, February 13, 2013.
Four people have died as the result of fired 33-year-old Christopher Jordan Dorner's alleged killing spree. Tuesday afternoon, Dorner was holed up in a burning cabin in the woods near Big Bear Lake.
Fugitive ex-LAPD officer Christopher Dorner, whose alleged murder spree began with the shooting death of the daughter of a police union lawyer who defended him in an internal investigation, re-surfaced Tuesday in a stolen white pickup truck in the San Bernardino Mountains.
"Enough is enough. It's time for you to turn yourself in. It's time to stop the bloodshed," LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith said earlier in the day at a news conference held outside police headquarters in Los Angeles.
He said he would get even with those who wronged him as part of his plan to reclaim his good name. "You're going to see what a whistleblower can do when you take everything from him especially his name." the rant said. "You have awoken a sleeping giant."
The cabin continued to burn more than 90 minutes after the fire started, but sources familiar with the operation said the fire department would arrive at the site once the road was cleared.
As the manhunt appeared to reach a crisis point - with two law enforcement officers dead and flames leaping from a cabin where Dorner had holed up in the woods - we take a look at the numbers in the case so far.
11: Days that have passed since the manhunt for Dorner began, starting with a shooting of Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence in Irvine on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 2, and ending Tuesday, as he was barricaded in a cabin in the mountains.

Matt G - That's a pretty sweet find. It looks a lot like the high dollar "tactical" flashlights advertised in the gun magazines. I like the compact size, too.
I got a nifty minimag LED light for Christmas. I like it a lot, but it is activated by twisting the head of the light rather than pushing an on/off button. That takes two hands and isn't too tacti-cool. On the plus side, the minimag light LED is bright as all get out and takes three AA batteries. Survivalists will like that you can also use it as a candle.
Here is a detailed review with pictures:Flashlight Review: Mini Maglite LED - Associated Content
Any idea what the lumen rating is? The E2DL is about 120 lumens on the bright setting.
OMG is that really a P4 box on your desk? Boy that puppy is old as dirt.

Mount Saint Helens wasn't the only imminent eruption last month. With liquid magma figuratively coursing through their veins, many NetJets pilots–estimated by some in the flying ranks to be an "overwhelming majority"–were expressing anger over the tentative agreement (TA) their master executive council (MEC) struck with the company for a new three-year labor contract.
Port Columbus International Airport
CESSNA CITATION S550, BIG BEAR, CALIF., AUG. 13, 2002–The NTSB determined that the probable cause of the Citation runway accident was the pilot's failure to obtain the proper touchdown point, which resulted in an overrun.
A Florida jury has found Cessna liable for the 1989 crash of a 185 in Florida and returned a record $480 million verdict against the Wichita-based manufacturer. Nobody died in the accident, but the three occupants of the 1966-model taildragger were injured in the crash and ensuing fire. The award consists of $400 million in punitive damages and $80 million in compensatory damages.
Bombardier CRJ100, Lexington, Ky., Aug.
Cessna 208B Caravan, Cross City, Fla., Sept. 5, 2007–The Paragon Air Express Caravan lost power and made a forced landing in trees. While the Caravan was at cruise at 11,000 feet, the engine suddenly failed and the engine gauges went to zero. The commercial pilot declared an emergency; ATC told him that Cross City, 29 miles away, was the closest airport.
The National Air Traffic Controllers Association (Natca) said a NetJets Cessna Citation X and a Learjet 60 had to take evasive action at 28,000 feet to avoid colliding while
The National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) claims that a shortage of full-performance level (FPL) controllers at the Chicago Tracon–the nation's third-busiest approach control facility–has brought the level of safety below an "acceptable" level, and the union has asked the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to intervene.
The National Air Traffic Controllers Association (Natca) said two business jets had to take evasive action at 28,000 feet and about 60 miles northeast of Las Vegas on Thursday afternoon to avoid the possibility of colliding while en route to Las Vegas McCarran Airport. The incident involved a NetJets Cessna Citation X and a Learjet 60.
The head of the 14,000-member air traffic controllers union said last month that the FAA is trumpeting the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) to mask poor morale and severe staffing shortages among its controller workforce.
A pair of submissions to NBAA's Air Mail Internet forum underscore the importance of preflight awareness. A Challenger crew taxiing for takeoff from an unattended airport received a radio call (from an unspecified hero) alerting them to a potentially dangerous situation. Unable to remove the small-airplane chock from behind one of the mainwheels, the crew had moved the front chock out of the way and started up.

Do your posts encouage people to talk to you. If not, no one will read them.
If you were talking to a friend by having them listen to you read your post out loud , how would they respond to you? Are you making statements that are boring and do not offer them a chance to respond? Your goal is to get people to talk to you on your posts.
Practice the Golden Rule of Posting. 70% of your posts should be interesting, useful, informative, or entertaining. 30% should be posts that you are sharing from other people and business pages, and 10% (less really is better) of your posts can promote your business or service.
Your goal will be to get people to respond to your posts, regardless of what type they are. It is up to you to find a ways to get people to talk more to you on your posts. You can ask questions, or what ever works, to get them to interact more with you.
As with any conversation you start with your posts, you will need to remember to respond back to anybody who comments on it. Especially as you are starting to build your business page. Each response is a chance to create a relationship that may lead to a important business connection or sale. It also makes the person who has taken the time to comment feel that they have value. (As your business page grows you may find that you have so many responses that you can now answer all of them. When this happens, focus on the questions that people are asking and respond to them)
Respond back to those who have comment on your post by thanking that person for their comment. If they are using their business page, remember to "tag" their page or add the full URL so that they are promoted when you respond. This way, you have created a link to their page that other people can click on and supported their business at the same time they are supporting yours by their taking the time to post. If you are in a group you will only be able to tag that persons profile or type in the name of their business.
You should also "like" any comments that other people add to the comment you have shared.
This is also how your posts will go "viral" across the newsfeeds. You post will show up in the newsfeeds of anyone who comments on it, "likes" it our shares it. They will also show up on yours. As a result, other people on the newsfeeds will notice that your posts are popular and will become visible to those who are looking for what you have to offer.
What can you do to improve your conversations?

Automated security a recipe for disaster, experts say
Friday - 4/6/2012, 10:00am EDT
"The security industry has a tendency of moving something from having smart people to dumb processes. Big data is not going to save you it's the people examining your big data that are going to save you," said Marcus Ranum, chief security officer of Tenable Network Security, at the 2012 InfoSec World Conference in Orlando.
Ranum was joined in a panel discussion by security experts Chris Nickerson, founder of Lares Consulting in Denver; and Alex Hutton, the director of operational risk at a financial institution.
Nickerson criticized CISOs who fail to customize compliance standards and other protection systems without taking into account the way their companies do business.
"We've failed at learning the general rules of battle, and we're now protecting things based on someone's standard instead of knowing our boundaries and what we can and can't do to protect those things to the best of our ability," Nickerson said.
While the panelists railed against the shortcomings of many security professionals in protecting their companies' systems from cyber attacks, they did point to some professionals who were changing their counter-threat operations.
Hutton pointed to company that has successfully linked nearly all of its systems to its data warehouse, essentially changing its IT staff into a team of counter-threat operators.

Health & Parenting
Coping with School Stress
3. Consider whether your child is over-scheduled.
Over-scheduling is a big source of school stress, experts say. Many high-school students enroll in more Honors or Advanced Placement courses than they can handle, and then pile extracurricular activities on top, says Denise Clark Pope, PhD, a lecturer at the Stanford University School of Education in Stanford, California, and author of Doing School: How We Are Creating a Generation of Stressed-Out, Materialistic, and Miseducated Students.
If parents filled their kids' schedules with more sleep, down time, and family time, Pope says, "We would not be in the situation we are today. It would be that dramatic of a change."
As a fellow student, O'Brien agrees: "Kids are so consistently worried about keeping up with 'what's next' and 'what's next,' that it's hard to sit down and say, 'Wow, I'm stressed out. Let's find out why.'"
Elementary students can be over-scheduled, too, Holt says. "There are so many things to do now. It's not like you just go outside and play. Now there are clubs, sports, ballet, gym - plus you're trying to get homework in there," she says. "As a society, we're just in a whirlwind. We've forgotten: We are dealing with children."
Some children thrive under a "driven schedule," the AAP report says. "However, for some children this hurried lifestyle is a source of stress and anxiety and may even contribute to depression."
The challenge is to strike a balance between work and play. If your child feels overly stressed and overwhelmed, look for ways to cut back on school work and extra activities - though that's not easy for overachievers to hear.
"Kids just have this idea that they need to be Superman," O'Brien says.
4.Encourage sleep, exercise - and family mealtimes
Worried about the physical and emotional costs of academic stress, Pope founded the Stanford-based "Stressed-Out Students" (SOS) program. SOS partners with middle schools and high schools to survey kids' stress levels and find ways to reduce stress in school.
"There has been a serious problem with sleep deprivation," Pope says. "It's not unusual for 30% or 40% of [the students] to get 6 hours or less. Almost none are getting the required hours that an adolescent needs - which is 9 ½ hours." Adequate sleep alone would make a big difference in teens' stress levels, she says.
Holt advises exercise to help cope with stress. "If all you have is academics," she says," [stress] is going to build up, and it's got to go somewhere. It's going to help if kids are being physically active."
Both Holt and Pope agree: Family time is also crucial for cushioning stress. Pope suggests mealtimes as a way to connect with your child - "a minimum of 20 minutes sitting down together at least 4 to 5 times a week," she says. "Listen to your children, and communicate with them."

Shane Baldauf, an architecture and environmental design major at CU-Boulder who is dedicated to "green" and affordable housing, has been awarded a prestigious Udall Scholarship.
"Not only is 'green' construction good for the environment, but homes that perform more efficiently benefit the occupants too," said Baldauf. "If you think about it, the people who most need affordable housing are also the ones who need the lowest utility bills, and we're working to provide that situation through Habitat for Humanity houses."

"It's very much like everyday life, except it's completely made-up."
Eve Carlson, a resident of the Patterson Park neighborhood and a member of the Baltimore Improv Group, has found a succinct way to describe her favorite activity.
Improv, technically called "improvisational theater," is a form of performance art in which the actors make up the story—and the dialog and the action and maybe some invisible props—as they go along. Unlike a traditional play, there is no script or pre-determined cast of characters.
"The only rule is 'yes,'" says Carlson. "That means that whatever the person coming on the scene with you says, you go with it."
Sound intriguing? The Baltimore Improv Festival starts next Wednesday, July 31, and runs through Sunday, Aug. 4, at the Creative Alliance, 3134 Eastern Ave., at East Ave. The festival features evening performances and, on Saturday and Sunday, morning and afternoon workshops. Workshops run the gamut from introductory and kids' courses to seminars on musical improv, improving physical improv skills and more. Troupes from across the country will be putting on performances. See www.baltimoreimprovfestival.org for a full listing of festival activities.
Carlson came to improv from a theater background, but she says that anyone could enjoy learning the activity.
"I think improv can really be a way to bring people out of their shells," she says. "It can be empowering to come up and say whatever you want."
BIG member Katie Long calls improv "a thrill" and "very challenging" activity, though the premise is simple enough.
"A lot of improv is just allowing yourself to be a kid again," she says, "to let go and get out of your head for some real organic fun."
A mind-to-mouth filter, in fact, can be detrimental to improv, Carlson adds.
"The more improv you do, the more confident you get, and the more you think your ideas will be good ones," she says. "You need to learn to trust your gut and not filter yourself."
When that filter shuts off, Carlson says, improv performers may find themselves totally present in the scene which they have invented with the other performers, or "scene partners," acting smoothly and seamlessly as if the spontaneous events depicted were truly happening in real life.
This phenomenon, Carlson says, is known among improv enthusiasts as "group think."
As a group, BIG currently has about 40 performing members, according to Bridget Cavaiola, who is director of this years' festival. Cavaiola is also getting ready to be BIG's second paid employee as education director.
"We're a functioning nonprofit arts organization," she says. "It's really cool."
With five nights of performances, Cavaiola said that the Baltimore Improv Festival is returning bigger and better this year, the seventh for the festival. There are workshops for folks brand new to improv on both Saturday, Aug. 3, 2 p.m., and Sunday, Aug. 4, 10 a.m.
Another highlight is a crash course in musical improv, taught by Travis Ploeger of iMusical, a Washington, D.C., troupe. If making up dialogue and action on the spot is difficult, then making up songs and musical accompaniments must be incredibly demanding. Ploeger's workshop is Saturday, Aug. 3, at 10 a.m.
iMusical will perform on Friday, Aug. 2, at 8:30 p.m.
For something else completely different, the Baltimore troupe Tigerhead will be performing improv with puppets on Wednesday, July 31, at 7:30 p.m.
Generally, improv performances run from short-form styles—similar to the TV show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"—to long form, with highly developed characters and storyline.
Carlson notes that watching a performance is an "active viewing" experience. The audience is often called upon to throw out suggestions to fuel the skits.
Though the Improv Festival brings out the bells and whistles, Cavaiola stresses that simplicity is at the core.
"What I like about teaching improv, and what I like about doing improv, is that it's something that requires nothing," she says.

Bristol interior specialists Simple Simon Design have helped refine the look with new furniture, colour and materials and have achieved a subtle meeting of exotic flavours and styles - just like our cocktails.
The main bar area benefits from lots of natural light and there is an assortment of seating for larger groups or cosy couples. Upstairs on the mezzanine there is more lounge style seating and a lovely elevated position over the bar to enjoy people watching and the world go by outside.
Papaji's also has the only licensed and very lovely back garden on Whiteladies Road where you can enjoy alfresco drinking and afternoon tea. You can enjoy the garden until 10pm in the summer and it's open during the winter too - just ask to borrow a rug from the bar as we don't agree with wasting energy on patio heaters due to our environmental policy.

OK, definitive answer. I drilled a thruhole hear the waterline for a sanitary overboard fitting. The hull is as advertised. Solid fibreglass laminate, about 1". According to factory information it is laminated in one piece by means of a transverse rolling mold. She's not as fast as some boats, too heavy. However I've seen 7 knots heeled over on a downwind in southern Calif, waters. I've replaced the engine with a kubota 28 horse. At 2000rpm she cruises at 5.2 knots and at 2300rpm, 6 knots. Mine is cutter rigged, single mast and sails well to windward. She was a little too tender, ie; the boiler punch ballest. However, one day with a jack-drill I pulled a lot of that out and replaced it with lead ballest. Simple fix.

Advancement and Engagement-what does it mean?
UAF has begun a new adventure into the world of university advancement and community engagement. Under the leadership of Chancellor Steve Jones, we began this week building an organization combining five successful UAF units--alumni affairs, athletics, development, university relations and KUAC--into the Office of University Advancement and Community Engagement. Our vision is to provide a coordinated and focused approach in advancing UAF from a good university to a great one. UAF has grown over the years into an excellent university through the hard work and dedication of our alumni, faculty, staff and stakeholders. Today we have the opportunity to take UAF to the next level of excellence.
UAF has unlimited potential and incredible stories to tell. We need to let our stakeholders, friends and community know about our successes, programs and learning opportunities. The Office of University Relations' experienced and talented staff will provide our on- and off-campus community with the latest information and publications. Our alumni are the best ambassadors and supporters of UAF. We need to offer all alumni and friends the best opportunity to reconnect with UAF and provide them with reasons to stay connected. We will work closely with the alumni association to bring alumni affairs back into the advancement office, while maintaining the association's identity and role as our advocate and conscience. Nanook athletics is on a roll as national and Olympic champions, winning teams and outstanding student athletes. The athletic department will ensure Nanook athletes continue to be successful on the court, ice, range, trails and in the classroom. KUAC is a world-class public radio and TV station. KUAC will continue to grow and provide quality radio and TV to our state. And finally, to increase private and corporate donations and involvement, our development office will be redesigned to allow for an accelerated effort in bringing new funds into UAF.
Our goal is to provide a focused, coordinated and deliberate effort that provides UAF the best opportunity to increase its visibility throughout Alaska. This effort enables our community of alumni, friends, stakeholders, world-class faculty, staff and students to connect and make a difference. UAF is on the move, and we are very excited to be a part of this new adventure and opportunity.

Thankfully, Don Laughlin was an enterprising man with a vision. Laughlin had the foresight to recognize the potential of the little plot of land on the Colorado River close to the corner where Arizona, California and Nevada meet. Laughlin had the tenacity to carve out a fortune serving 98-cent chicken dinners at a small gambling joint with 12 slot machines and two gaming tables. Now he's got a town named for him, multi-storied casinos have risen where once was only sand, and Laughlin has served as a biker's playground for four days each spring for the last 31 years and counting.
The 32nd annual
Laughlin River Run
takes place this week, April 23 -27, a popular destination for motorcyclists from Phoenix to LA to Vegas. The Mojave Desert has a certain beauty to it this time of year, wildflowers and cactus blooms dotting the generally brown, harsh landscape. Historic Route 66 runs nearby, bringing with it the promise of a nostalgic trip down memory lane. A stop by nearby Oatman is always in order. Once home to rustlers, wranglers and those hoping to strike it rich in nearby mines, Oatman still pulses with the heartbeat of the Wild West. Just be sure to bring some carrots for the local burros.
During its heyday, Laughlin would bring 50 – 60,000 people into the area easily. Then the little brouhaha between the Angels and the Mongols happened in Harrah's, years of heavy-handed police presence ensued, and attendance numbers dropped. The last couple of years, the tri-state agency that patrols the rally has stepped down its presence a bit, and bikers seem to be embracing the idea of making the trip out to Laughlin once again. All we know is most of the hotels have been fully booked for weeks now so this year's event looks promising.
One of those reasons might be the fact that Laughlin has stepped up the quality of its headlining acts this year. It starts Thursday night as country star Jason Aldean will perform at the Laughlin Event Center. Another motorcycle rally heavy hitter, Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd, will take the stage at the center Saturday night. Great White is booked to play the
The burros of Oatman say they're anxious to see you and to bring carrots!
Sam Baldi won Best of Show at the Laughlin River Run Custom Bike Show last year. Who's going to win the title this year?
The annual Ms. Laughlin River Run Contest is always a popular draw, the winner receiving $1000 cash.
Bikers will soon be out in droves for the 32nd annual Laughlin River Run.
Riverside Resort Hotel & Casino Friday and Saturday night, while Los Lobos and Los Lonely Boys wrap up the stellar lineup with a performance Saturday night at Harrah's Rio Vista Outdoor Amphitheater. And that's just the headliners. There will plenty of local bands performing daily on outdoor stages spread around the rally, too, from Chris Hiatt at the Colorado Belle to The Garage Boys at the Golden Nugget's Outdoor Lounge.
Poker runs are always a great way to get out and see the area as card stops have been spread out from Chloride to Kingman. This year's official River Run Poker Run is headed out to locales like Lake Havasu City to London Bridge Harley-Davidson and Pirate Cove Resort. It's a self-guided poker run this year, so riders can make the run Thursday through Saturday. Registration takes place daily at Riverside Resort's Starview Room and ends at the Colorado Belle. Competitors have to have their cards in by 3 p.m. Saturday and winners will be posted at the Colorado Belle Loading Dock Restaurant Saturday at 6 p.m. There's also an American Heroes Charity Poker Run benefiting American veterans on Friday. Registration is at the Tropicana, the run heading out to Kingman's Mother Road Harley-Davidson. Proceeds benefit vets, so it's for a great cause, and best hand will win a 2015 River Run Room package.
The annual Laughlin River Run Custom Bike Show takes place Saturday from 11 – 3 on the main deck of the Colorado Belle. There's $1500 in cash and prizes up for grabs, including $750 to the winner. Sam Baldi's "Lost Angel" won last year, and this year's victor will be announced at 3 p.m. Saturday.
Which leaves just enough time to catch the winner and head over to the Ms. Laughlin River Run Contest. Ladies will be competing for $1500 in cash, the winner earning a cool grand. The popular event takes place at the Riverside Resort Bodies Bar Outdoor Stage on Saturday at 4 p.m.
A long list of vendors will once again be set-up in front of the casinos, from the Riverside Resort to the Golden Nugget. We're got an appointment with the team from Kuryakyn Friday to check out its new rally set-up and to see what exciting new products they've got for the 2014 riding season. We know our friends at Mustang Seats will be there too, the hard-working American company recently collaborating with custom builder Dave Perewitz for a signature series of seats which they'll be displaying. The beauty of Laughlin is you can park your bike and walk to just about all the vendors, and if you get too hot from pounding pavement, you can head indoors to any of the casinos to cool out.
Other events on the 2014 Laughlin River Run schedule include demo rides from Harley-Davidson who will be set up outside the Tropicana while Victory, Indian and Star Motorcycles will be offering demos from the Riverside Resort. There are lots of great new bikes on the market right now, and many of them will be available for test rides at the rally. Bikers can show off their ink at the Laughlin Tattoo Convention held during the River Run at the River Palms. The high energy crew of the Hogs & Heifers Bar will help keep the party going daily, and the casinos offer everything from night clubs to restaurants to gambling, further upping the appeal of Laughlin.
Motorcycle USA will be headed to the desert in a couple of days for the 32nd annual Laughlin River Run, so check in this weekend for pictures and reports from the scene. We've been there when it's been 100-plus degrees outside, while another year the wind blew so hard the sand felt like it was peeling skin off our faces. We've also had to buy extra layers because riding through the high desert was bitterly cold, so pack smart because you never know for sure what you're going to get at the River Run. We're packing our sun screen with high hopes, but will soon find out first-hand what 2014 has in store.

La Crosse, WISCONSIN (WXOW) If you were a college track coach on the recruiting trail, it was one-stop shopping at La Crosse Central.
Four Red Raiders put their signatures to partial track scholarships Wednesday.
Sawyer Smith will compete at Wisconsin.
Aaron Klos at North Dakota State.
Jake Roh and Joe Gasper will be teammates at South Dakota.
The four form the back-bone to the Central team that took second at state last year in division one.
"It's rare to have one person say they are a scholarship athlete. It's twice as rare to have two, you can start doing the math. Four people on one team receiving scholarship money is unheard of. It's never happened before. it's unprecedented. Obviously, it's very exciting for us," said Niels Anderson, Central boys track coach.
It's not everyday a local football player heads to the Big Ten.
But Michael Conway will do just that.
Conway will be a preferred walk-on quarterback for the Minnesota Gophers.
He was an All-MVC first team and the conferences offensive player of the year last fall.
"As an athlete in general you want to be the best and compare yourself to the best. So, I mean I guess when the opportunity of playing in the Big 10 came to me I just wanted to play against some of the best players in the country is definitely an opportunity I wanted to take up on," Conway said.
In La Crescent, another athlete headed to South Dakota on scholarship is Katie Shepardson.
Shepardson was a state qualifier in cross country and track and field for the Lancers.
"I think when I first stepped on campus that was kind of when it was like 'yeah, this is where I want to be.' So, finally signing I think its just kind of relieving just having it done now and getting to concentrate on this spring and track," Shepardson said.

When the news broke that Facebook was making a big announcement about an innovative new product, all eyes were on the social media network, and the internet was ablaze with speculation as to what the announcement was to reveal.
The rumour that a Facebook phone was passed around the internet but it appeared that it was simply that, just a rumour. Facebook founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg took to the stage to announce the introduction of an exciting new search feature that would make accessing data about Facebook friends a great deal easier – Facebook Graph.
This may have seemed a welcome move for some people but there were those that felt it may become invasive, was not required and others felt disappointed that the announcement was somewhat underwhelming. So what exactly is Facebook Graph proposing to do and is it really necessary?
The feature works on the basis that sometimes finding information on Facebook is a little tricky and as everything on Facebook is seen as a 'social graph' by Mark Zuckerberg – a living database of connections all being updated by the many users that participate – information mining should be simpler. For example, if a friend has claimed in the past that they liked a particular subject such as a music star and that star was coming to town and the user was considering going in a group to the gig, Facebook Graph will help find those friends that are into the same music.
Another example would be if a user is looking for a way to sell their phone and they remember that a friend sold their Blackberry recently on a website but they couldn't remember which friend or the name of the website; Facebook Graph could help find this information. They could search for 'how to sell blackberry bold 9900' and the friend who was selling their phone would be revealed with the status about selling their Blackberry.
When the new Facebook Timeline was released it faced a barrage of questions, complaints and resistance but that appears to have died down over recent months and no doubt Facebook Graph will come under the same amount of scrutiny.
One question is – is Facebook Graph giving the users something they actually need? After all, it can be difficult to retrieve information on a subject that a friend has discussed several months or years ago and it can be hard to remember who mentioned the subject so Facebook Graph could be the ideal tool to use for this particular type of query.
Some may see it as having little use but consider how many times an email search has revealed a vital piece of information in day to day life and this may just be the tool that everyone will need to use at some point or another. Rather than being an all out search engine, Facebook Graph is essentially a query tool on a growing database and no doubt it will come in handy for many different uses. Time will indeed tell.

The project involved cleaning a number of 4 inch production lines totaling approximately 6 miles and 3 miles of 8 inch gathering line. Several different types of pigs were run, first in conjunction with hot oil and then with normal well flow. The results of the pig runs were analaysed and a program recommended for the client, including frequency and type of pig to be run.
