Gallatin Art Crossing To Host Installation Reception July 16th
This July 16th is a chance for you all to show your love for the Gallatin Art Crossing and all the work they have done to unite local sculptors and beautify downtown Bozeman in a major way. Held on the promenade of the Downtown Library the Installation reception will be celebrating this year's additions from local artists around downtown. Free beer and wine, say what? That's right, free beer and wine my friends. Come on down and spend the afternoon brushing shoulders with the happiest creative crowd around and dig the live sounds of local DJs and performers. Donations will be welcome as always, this year accompanied by a limited edition engraved pint glass and of course a complimentary tour of the exhibit by one of the many esteemed and charming board members as well as artists. Please stroll yourself on down and come enjoy the vibe, we cannot wait to see you be part of the art and soul of the Gallatin Valley.
The Art Crossing exhibit hosts a variety of artwork introducing viewers to many artistic approaches. The goal of the program is to add at least one piece to the permanent collection each year and expand further throughout downtown bringing unique works to optimal locations. The entries for this year will be posted on the Art Crossing website and opened for public voting until the installation date. We prefer this level of community involvement and interaction as the art we are placing is for public benefit. The involved fundraising behind the Crossing incorporates a variety of techniques and entities such as community challenges and the solicitation of individuals and businesses for contributions, not to mention the hours of work from the board and volunteers.

Mission awareness trip
Jan. 6-18, 2009
Sponsors learn the reality of south India; mothers groups become CFCA model
The creativity and dedication of the CFCA community in India has become an ìexpansion-of-vision centerî for staff members from Bolivia, U.S.A, Honduras, Kenya and now Guatemala. Two of our colleagues from Guatemala (Jorge Armas, coordinator, and Alvaro Aguilar, regional director) were invited to participate in the experience of this mission awareness tripófollowed by a more in-depth study of the Hyderabad model of mothers groups. Jorge took ill the night before departure and was not able to travel.
Group orientation
We are happy to be here in Chennai (Madras). All the diocesan priests from the Archdiocese of Chennai together with their archbishop are on retreat at the same convent conference center where we are staying. Father Cyrus Gallagher, a CFCA preacher, was able to concelebrate Holy Mass with them this morning.
12-hour train ride
We made it to the train station in plenty of time for our 12-hour overnight trip to Palay and a good rock-me-to-sleep night on the train in triple-decker sleeping bunks. Athletic types generously scampered upward.
Visit to a familyís home
About 50 kilometers out of Palay, we visited subproject SPT. About 30 mothers and five elderly received us at the humble home of Petchi. For sponsors Gene and Jean, this was a very historical moment, after 11 years of sponsorship of Petchi. Gene said that this day has been one of the ìgreatest in his life.î
The mothers became teachers and the sponsors learners, as we enjoyed a beautiful and meaningful dialog for a couple of hours. One of the special gifts Jean had prepared for Petchi was an anthology of their relationship over these past 11 years. Iím sure it will be treasured.
The profound joy of belonging to CFCA was expressed by children and their mothers, who were clad in sharp-looking blue saris. Following dancing, dialogue and emotional sharing, sponsors were very quiet in the van as we made our way back to Palay in the night under a beautiful Pongal/Harvest Moon.
Major mothers group gathering
At the Palay CFCA gathering, 3,000 mothers in cheerful and bright identical CFCA saris were on hand, along with 1,000 or so children and aging. The gathering included all the formalities of anointing, blessing with incense, lighting of the lamp representing the five major elements of Godís power, reception of local civic authorities and local CFCA board members.
A central message in many of the children and mothersí songs: religious harmony should reign in the world. ìInjustice, dowry, child labor, caste system, religious atrocity Ö whatever it may be, we shall overcome.î—sung by nine mothers.
Mothers group conference resolutions
- "Female infanticide should be completely eradicated with all our might. Women are the true eyes of a country. Education should be made available to girls at all levels of society which, to our bad luck and ignorance, remain only in the law book. Equal salary rights and civil rights should be stabilized.
- "Dowry, the devilish curse on this society, has to be checked at both sides of bride and bridegroom relatives. The law is active over this issue to some extent, taking severe steps, but only on those who demand dowry at the time of marriage. Yet this cancer is prevalent in society as a deadly disease. It could be more effective if the law were equally serious to seek and find those parents and relatives who wish to give their daughters away in marriage, gifting dowry under the sleeves.
- "To help prevent sex abuse and maltreatment of girls, they should be provided the opportunity to learn a simple and easy martial art for self-defense.
- "The culture of this country must once more find golden periods in the hands of women. The culture of this country being an indelible identification mark of the nation, we resolve hereby as a rightful duty to save and preserve it.î
I will write more later as I begin the next phase of this trip with the Guatemalan delegation. Thank you for your prayers and solidarity.
Best wishes for the New Year.
Bob Hentzen

Dear Annie: We belong to a dinner group with six married couples. One of the couples divorced after the husband caught his wife having an affair. He no longer comes to the dinner parties, but the ex-wife still shows up and brings her new (married) boyfriend. They have been together for three years.
Here's the bigger problem: She flirts with my husband at every social activity. She always gives him a hug when we run into her. He is always pleasant and chats, when I'd rather he was less chummy. One time, on New Year's Eve, I saw my husband put his arm around her waist as she moved to the music with another man. I watched (humiliated) as the three of them swayed back and forth.
I assume it was the alcohol that prompted him to do this. However, it apparently fueled her fire. At one dinner party, she leaned across the table toward me and made a comment about my husband's "size." I kept my cool and replied that it wasn't her business, but my husband, who was sitting right next to me, said nothing.
At the dinners, we act like friends, but I am sorely tempted to give her a piece of my mind. My husband is getting aggravated with me. He claims he's never cheated on me and she's never touched him inappropriately. He says, "What am I supposed to do?" I asked him to delete her cell number, but he has not done that. This woman is not my friend, and I think she's crossed a line. Any suggestions? — Had Enough
Dear Enough: As always in such cases, the problem is less about the woman and more about your husband's reaction. He allows her flirting and even encourages her, and then becomes annoyed with you for doubting him. It undermines your trust. There is no reason for him to have her phone number in his contact list. Ask him to delete it while you are watching. Then tell him all of his future responses to this woman's inappropriate remarks should make it clear to her that he is not interested. If he refuses, the next step is counseling.
Dear Annie: I have noticed that whenever there is a tragedy involving the death of a child, people place stuffed animals and dolls at the scene. Please, in memory of these children, tell readers to donate the toys and dolls to the local police or fire departments, hospitals or a cancer center where they will bring comfort to living children. — Pennsylvania
Dear Pennsylvania: That's a lovely idea, and we hope people will consider it, although not everyone will want to. There is some sentiment attached to marking the actual spot where a tragedy occurred. We understand why loved ones might object to having these tributes removed, but in many instances, they are a safety hazard. Also, stuffed animals that have been left out in the rain and mud are no longer in any condition to donate.
The handling of these roadside memorials belongs to the local municipality. Many allow toys, dolls, etc., to stay for a specified period of time, and then the department of transportation removes them. In some areas, temporary memorials are replaced with a single permanent marker. The state of Delaware bans roadside memorials altogether and has instead provided the Delaware Highway Memorial Garden as a tribute. You should inquire with your local department of transportation and suggest the objects be donated.
Dear Annie: I read the letter from "Worried Wife," whose 44-year-old husband drinks too much and refuses to see a doctor or dentist. In addition to the advice that you gave her to contact Al-Anon and make sure he has a valid will and that his affairs are in order, she also should make sure he has a lot of insurance. She will need it to raise their four children alone. — K.

Revision as of 07:27, January 1, 2015
This is a template that is used as part of the Installation instructions which covers: boot loader configuration. Templates are being used to allow multiple variant install guides that use most of the same re-usable parts.
Installing a Bootloader
These install instructions show you how to use GRUB to boot using BIOS (old-school) or UEFI (new-school).
Old School (BIOS)
If you're using the BIOS to boot, setting up GRUB, the bootloader, is pretty easy.
To use this recommended boot method, first emerge
boot-update. This will also cause
grub-2 to be merged, since it is a dependency of
(chroot) # emerge boot-update
Then, edit
/etc/boot.conf and specify "
Funtoo Linux genkernel" as the
default setting at the top of the file, replacing
"Funtoo Linux".
/etc/boot.conf should now look like this:
boot { generate grub default "Funtoo Linux genkernel" timeout 3 } "Funtoo Linux" { kernel bzImage[-v] } "Funtoo Linux genkernel" { kernel kernel[-v] initrd initramfs[-v] params += real_root=auto } "Funtoo Linux better-initramfs" { kernel vmlinuz[-v] initrd /initramfs.cpio.gz }
Please read
man boot.conf for further details.
Running grub-install and boot-update
Finally, we will need to actually install the GRUB boot loader to your disk, and also run
boot-update which will generate your boot loader configuration file:
(chroot) # grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda (chroot) # boot-update
Now you need to update your boot loader configuration file:
(chroot) # boot-update
You only need to run
grub-install when you first install Funtoo Linux, but you need to re-run
boot-update every time you modify your
/etc/boot.conf file, so your changes are applied on next boot.
New School (UEFI)
If you're using UEFI to boot, setting up the boot loader is a bit more complicated for now, but this process will be improving soon. Perform the following steps.
Emerging GRUB
You will still use GRUB as a boot loader, but before emerging grub, you will need to enable EFI booting. To do this,
add the following line to
For 64-bit systems: GRUB_PLATFORMS="efi-64" For 32-bit systems, i.e. Intel Atom devices and systems with less than 4GB of RAM: GRUB_PLATFORMS="efi-32"
emerge boot-update. You will notice
grub and
efibootmgr getting pulled in as dependencies. This is expected and good:
(chroot) # emerge boot-update
Installing GRUB
Now, for the magic of getting everything in place for booting. You should copy your kernel and initramfs (if you have one -- you will if you are following the default install) to /boot. GRUB will boot those. But how do we get UEFI to boot GRUB? Well, we need to run the following command (for 32bit simply set it as efi-32):
(chroot) # grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id="Funtoo Linux [GRUB]" --recheck /dev/sda
This command will simply install all the stuff to /boot/EFI and /boot/grub that your system needs to boot. In particular, the /boot/EFI/grub/grubx64.efi file will be created. This is the GRUB boot image that UEFI will load and start.
A more detailed explanation of the flags used in the above command:
--target=x86_64-efi: Tells GRUB that we want to install it in a way that allows it to boot in UEFI
--efi-directory=/boot: All GRUB UEFI files will be installed in /boot
--bootloader-id="Funtoo Linux [GRUB]": This flag is not necessary for GRUB to boot. However, it allows you to change the text of the boot option in the UEFI BIOS. The stuff in the quotes can be set to anything that you would like.
--recheck: If a device map already exists on the disk or partition that GRUB is being installed on, it will be removed.
/dev/sda:The device that we are installing GRUB on.
Configuring GRUB
OK, now UEFI has the GRUB image it needs to boot. But we still need to configure GRUB itself so it finds and boots your kernel and initramfs. This is done by performing the following steps. Since boot-update doesn't yet support UEFI, we will use boot-update, but then edit our
/boot/grub/grub.cfg to support UEFI booting.
First, you will need to edit
/etc/boot.conf. Format this as you would if you were booting without UEFI. If you are not sure how this should look, below is an example of what it could look like if you are booting from an unencrypted ext4 partition:
boot {
generate grub
default "Funtoo Linux"
timeout 3
"Funtoo Linux" {
kernel vmlinuz[-v]
params += rootfstype=ext4 root=/dev/sda2
After you have edited your
/etc/boot.conf file, run
boot-update. You should now have a
/boot/grub/grub.cfg file, which you can edit using the following command:
root # nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg
To get your
/boot/grub/grub.cfg to support booting with UEFI, make the following changes. Below the existing insmod lines, add the following lines. Both of these involve adding support for the UEFI framebuffer to GRUB.:
insmod efi_gop insmod efi_uga
Then, change the
set gfxpayload line to read as follows. UEFI does not support text mode, so we will keep video initialized to the current resolution.:
set gfxpayload=keep
You can now save your changes by pressing
Control-X and answering
y when asked if you want to save the modified buffer. When prompted for a filename, hit Enter to use the existing filename.

ETSU looking to avoid third straight loss, falling to .500
ROCK HILL, S.C. (Sept. 21, 2012) – The ETSU men's soccer team heads to Rock Hill, S.C. on Saturday, looking to put an end to consecutive losses as it battles Winthrop on Eagle Field at 7 p.m.
ETSU (4-3-0) enters Saturday night's game on a two-game losing streak, coming up empty against the Wildcats of both Davidson and Kentucky. The two consecutive non-conference losses are the program's first since 2009, when it lost three in a row to Elon, North Carolina and UNC Asheville. All three of the Buccaneers' losses this season have come on the road. ETSU's only road win came, 1-0, at Presbyterian.
The Bucs will have to find a way to win on the road Saturday if they want to avoid falling to .500 this late into the season for the first time in three years. The 2009 squad went 6-9-3, and was 1-4-3 though its first eight games.
Junior David Geno (Kingsport, Tenn.) has had the hot foot for ETSU, having scored the lone ETSU goal in the Bucs' last two contests. Geno leads the team with five goals, and has one assist to his credit to also head the Bucs in points with 11. His goals and points totals lead the A-Sun in each category.
ETSU's Last Outing
The Buccaneers fell to 0-2 on their four-game road trip with a, 3-1, loss to Kentucky. Three different Wildcats scored, with Steven Perinovic getting credit for the game-winner in the 74th minute. UK added on a third goal with seven minutes to play, putting to rest any doubt of the result.
The Bucs went into halftime trailing 1-0, but leveled the score just 69 seconds into the second half when Alesi Osorio (Austin, Texas) was tripped up in the box to award ETSU a penalty. Geno stepped up for the Bucs, converting the chance to make ETSU a perfect two-for-two on penalties this season. Luis Calzadilla (Caracas, Venezuela) owns the other, punching in the game-winner in overtime to defeat Radford, 2-1.
Scouting the Eagles
Winthrop (2-4-0) will be looking to end its own losing streak, as it enters Saturday on a three-game slide. The Eagles began the streak competing at the 37th annual Stihl Soccer Classic, falling to VCU, 3-0, and Old Dominion, 3-2. Their most recent loss came Wednesday at the College of Charleston, 4-2. Saturday will be Winthrop's first home game since it defeated Brevard College, 4-1, in its season opener on Aug. 24.
Mason Lavallet owns the team-lead in goals, having scored four times in six games played. Lavallet has also tallied one assist to lead the team with nine points. Marc Segarra is the Eagles' only other multi-goal scorer, netting two in just 36 minutes of game action this season.
Series History
ETSU and Winthrop have met one other time in their series history, with the Bucs coming away victorious at Summers-Taylor Stadium, 2-0, on Sept. 15, 2010. Geno scored his first career goal just 4:30 into the game to put ETSU ahead, and Aaron Schoenfeld put in the insurance goal with 39 seconds to play.
The two sides were scheduled to meet last year at Eagle Field, but the game was cancelled due to inclement weather.
Live stats will be available through Stat Broadcast on ETSUBucs.com. Video will also be available via the Big South Network. Fans who do not have a subscription can view the game for a one-time purchase of $4.95.
ETSU Notes
- The Bucs will be without sophomore defender Simon Schroettle (Rain, Germany), as he is forced to sit out a game after being issued a red card for a foul in the loss to Kentucky.
- ETSU will be looking to avoid its first three-game losing streak since 2009, and falling to .500 eight games into the season since '09.
- The road has not been too kind to the Bucs, as they are 1-3-0 in road games this year. ETSU defeated Presbyterian, but has fallen to Appalachian State, Davidson and Kentucky.
- On its current four-game road trip, ETSU is 0-2. The Bucs began the swing last Saturday at Davidson, 2-1 (2OT). Winthrop will be the third opponent in that stretch, with Furman to follow next Thursday.

The New Politics of Wealth Denial
One of the most famous and funny Monty Python skits is the "Four Yorkshiremen." Four cigar-smoking, tux-wearing swells recount their childhood and try to top each other with stories of hardship.
One says he used to live in a single room with 26 others.
"Eh, you were lucky to have a room!," says another. "We used to have to live in t' corridor!"
"Oh, we used to dream of livin' in a corridor!" says another. "Would ha' been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woke up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House? Huh."
The other responds, "Well, when I say 'house' it was only a hole in the ground covered by a sheet of tarpaulin, but it was a house to us."
" We were evicted from our hole in the ground and we 'ad to go live in a lake."
And so on…
The Four Yorkshiremen provide an apt analogy for the populist, anti-privilege strain running through the presidential election. In drawing the line between himself and Romney, President Obama is filling his stump speeches with his own version of the "You were lucky!" competition.
It started with Obama telling audiences that he wasn't born rich – unlike Romney, who was. Then he said he and Michelle had to take out student loans to go to college. Not only that, but they weren't able to pay off the student loans until eight years ago.
Romney — he of the $250 million net worth, twin Cadillacs and penchant for viewing $360,000 a year in income as "not much money" — has joined in as the second Yorkshireman. He said he once worried about getting fired.
College? Well, you were lucky, Romney says. He says his dad was born in Mexico, grew up poor and never even got to go to college. And his grandfather was a poor carpenter and contractor.
"And as you may know, contractors have financial difficulty from time to time."
And so on.
You can't blame the candidates for trying to highlight their "everyman" roots at a time when many Americans feel that Washington and the wealthy are ignoring the concerns of the rest of the country. Obama is clearly using wealth as the real differentiator in the campaign.
But let's get real. George Romney's family wasn't really poor – at least not for long. And Obama and his wife were making more than $200,000 a year before they paid off their loans. Their competing poverty narratives are about as credible as the Yorkshireman's family living in the lake.
Rather than spending time exaggerating their own family hardships, perhaps the candidates would do better to highlight the real struggles faced by the rest of the country.
What do you think of the "Four Yorkshireman" strategy of the Obama campaign?

I highly recommended that you install Visual Studio 2012 Update 3 if you still haven't done so. Start Visual Studio 2012, select TOOLS | Extensions and Updates… and then click Updates | Product Updates. The Extensions and Updates dialog box will display Visual Studio 2012 Update 3 with an Update button on the right-hand side (Figure 5). Click on Update and you will have Visual Studio 2012 with Windows Phone SDK 8.0 and the latest update. I'll assume you have this Update installed.
Figure 5: Visual Studio 2012 Update 3 displayed in the Extensions and Updates dialog box.
Windows Phone 8 App Types
When developing apps for Windows Phone 7.x, there were two different worlds: Silverlight and XNA. When you target Windows Phone 8, you have the following choices for the UI framework:
- Mixed mode XAML and Direct3D
- Direct3D
You can think of XAML apps as the new version of Silverlight for Windows Phone apps. In fact, you will be able to reuse most of your existing knowledge of Silverlight for Windows Phone in XAML apps that target Windows Phone 8. If you feel more comfortable with HTML5 and CSS, there is a Windows Phone HTML5 app project template that enables you to easily create an app that displays HTML5 pages. The project template is available for both Visual Basic and C# languages, but it includes XAML pages and managed code. Thus, you cannot consider the project a pure HTML5 solution.
You can use both C# and Visual Basic to create Windows Phone 8 apps and interact with .NET for Windows Phone, the Windows Phone runtime, and Direct3D in mixed mode with XAML. Windows Phone 8 has discontinued the XNA app model,so you won't be able to create XNA games if you want to target Windows Phone 8. Direct3D has replaced XNA. However, Windows Phone 8 can run existing XNA games and the project templates include XNA for backward compatibility with Windows Phone 7.x.
Windows Phone 8 includes support for native code development with C++ (Figure 6). Native code development is very useful for games that require the best performance and use Direct3D. However, as happens in other mobile platforms, it is also possible to create runtime components and libraries that take advantage of the higher performance of native code but can be consumed in managed code apps. The latest Visual Studio 2012 updates added the Windows Phone Unit Test App to simplify testing.
Figure 6: Windows Phone 8 project templates for C++ (native code).
Windows Phone 8 uses the Windows Phone Application Store as the main mechanism for distributing apps. The Store was formerly known as the "Windows Phone Application Marketplace." However, the Store isn't an appropriate source for distributing enterprise apps, so Windows Phone 8 includes additional ways of distributing apps to solve this issue:
- Internet or Intranet downloads through Internet Explorer on Windows Phone 8.
- Email attachments.
- Loaded on a microSD card that then is inserted into the phone.
Performance Improvements for Apps and Background Tasks
Windows Phone 8 made a big change in the process of submitting an app to the Windows Phone Application Store. When you submit, the process precompiles the app for the ARM CPU that powers Windows Phone devices. This way, when the end user downloads the apps from the Store, the app package includes ARM code that doesn't require the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler, thus removing overhead, which translates into faster startup times for the apps and better performance. In addition, the removal of the JIT compiler overhead improves battery life.
Background execution is one of the biggest problems for mobile devices because apps with background execution are often reduce of battery life. The Windows Phone 8 UX motivates apps to provide live tiles, and users usually expect apps to continue providing information even when they aren't interacting with them. An app running unconstrained tasks in the background can detrimentally affect the performance of the other apps running on the phone and reduce battery life. So Windows Phone 8 provides background services that permits developers to perform common tasks on behalf of the apps in an efficient way.
The Background Transfer Service enables apps to perform HTTP transfers that keep the necessary balance to avoid having a negative impact on network traffic for the main foreground app. The Alarms API, for example, allows apps to create reminders without having to write code that runs in the background to keep track of time. This way, the apps that require reminders use the services provided by the Alarms API and don't need to reinvent the wheel to create efficient background mechanisms.
The Windows Phone 8 project templates for managed code include the following three scenario-based agents that you can use for common background tasks:
- Windows Phone Audio Playback Agent
- Windows Phone Audio Streaming Agent
- Windows Phone Scheduled Task Agent
If your app requires audio playback, you create an agent based on the Windows Phone Audio Playback Agent and you benefit from reusing the existing infrastructure for playing and controlling background audio. This way, Windows Phone 8 makes sure your app doesn't consume unnecessary additional resources simply to play audio.
You will use the Windows Phone Scheduled Task Agent when you need to perform either a periodic or a resource-intensive task. For example, when you have an app that needs to regularly fetch the latest news to update the app tiles, you just need to create and consume a Windows Phone Scheduled Task Agent to perform that task.
As happens with Windows 8 apps, Windows Phone 8 managed code apps with .NET for Windows Phone and the Windows Phone runtime also trust in the new asynchronous programming model to avoid blocking the UI. Thus, asynchronous methods are an essential part of Windows Phone 8 manage code apps. If you aren't familiar with the new
async and
await modifiers that are part of C# 5.0, have a look at "Using Asynchronous Methods in ASP.NET 4.5 and in MVC 4" before attempting Windows Phone 8 managed code app development with XAML and .NET. The article talks about ASP.NET 4.5 and MVC 4, but the explanations for asynchronous methods are also useful for Windows Phone 8 app development. In the next article in this tutorial, I will be using asynchronous methods to interact with the different speech APIs.
Portable Class Libraries and Windows Phone 8
One last point before wrapping up: If you want to share code between Windows Phone 8 apps and other Microsoft platforms, after you have installed the Windows Phone SDK 8.0, you will be able to add Windows Phone 8 as one of the target frameworks for Portable Class Libraries (see Figure 7).
Figure 7: Windows Phone 8 as one of the targets for a Portable Class Library.
If you want more information about the benefits of Portable Class Libraries to share code between multiple Microsoft platforms, you can read "Access Data with REST in Windows 8 Apps." Note that you can also consume the Portable Class Libraries in Windows Phone 8 apps.
In this article, I've put in place the resources you need to develop apps for Windows Phone 8. I've provided a brief overview of some of the most important things that you must consider before starting your adventures in Windows Phone 8. In the next article, I'll explain how to develop apps that take advantage of the new features related to the speech APIs: Voice Commands, Speech Synthesis, and Speech Recognition.

Just about every weekend, from early March through early December, motorists traveling through Worcester frequently find themselves driving through a gantlet of people standing at intersections soliciting donations.
These aren�t panhandlers, either.
No, these people represent various groups and organizations, such as youth sports leagues, charities, public school extracurricular programs and athletic teams, as well as some church groups.
They can often be seen standing out at some of the more heavily traveled intersections throughout the city soliciting donations from motorists stopped at the traffic signals.
The longstanding practice, known as �tag days,� has been a popular method for charitable organizations and youth sports groups to raise money. This year, 41 groups have been permitted by the Police Department to conduct a tag day on city streets, while 40 groups were permitted last year.
But the future of tag days in Worcester may be in jeopardy; it could very well fall victim to the city�s efforts to regulate panhandling.
The City Council has before it a pair of ordinances intended to address aggressive panhandling and making it unlawful for people to solicit money from motorists while standing in a public way, walking in and out of traffic on a street or standing on a traffic island.
In addition to targeting panhandlers, the ordinances would also eliminate tag days.
City Manager Michael V. O�Brien recommended the ordinances because he believes that panhandling has gotten worse even after the city initiated outreach efforts this past summer to direct panhandlers to the appropriate resources, such as medical care, shelter, food, mental health services, substance abuse resources and workforce development.
Mayor Joseph M. Petty said it all comes down to public safety. He said allowing people to collect money out on city streets, whether they be panhandlers or tag day participants, is simply downright dangerous.
�The panhandlers are one thing, but we also have young kids walking in and out of traffic soliciting money on tag days and that is an accident waiting to happen,� Mr. Petty said. �The time has come to put a stop to people soliciting money in the streets. Somebody is going to get hurt, and I don�t want to see that day come.�
That has drawn concerns, however, from those groups that rely on tag days for fundraising, especially youth sports leagues.
Linda McGill, District 4 administrator for Little League baseball, said the money raised by leagues within the city is used to purchase uniforms, equipment and baseballs, as well as to cover costs associated with the maintenance of their fields and to pay for umpires.
Even with the money raised from tag days, she said children still have to pay a fee to play Little League baseball.
Ms. McGill said some of the smaller leagues in the city fear that if they are unable to continue raising money from tag days, they may have to cease.
�Little League is one of the only sports organizations that allows children to play as young as 5 years old, and some of the smaller leagues are saying that without being able to use tag days their funds are going to be limited and they�re possibly going to have to fold,� she said.
While some city councilors want to see the city take an aggressive stand on panhandlers, they are far less enthused about seeing the city put an end to tag days, because groups like youth sports leagues rely so heavily on that fundraising tool.
As a result, some have inquired about whether the city could regulate aggressive panhandling while allowing tag days to continue.
But that may not be legally possible, according to a written opinion provided by City Solicitor David M. Moore to the City Council for its meeting Tuesday night.
�The short answer to this question is that the state Supreme Court has decided that panhandling constitutes a form of free speech which is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution,� Mr. Moore wrote. �Tag day solicitations are another form of speech which would enjoy First Amendment protection.
�A city ordinance or regulation of solicitation on public streets and sidewalks, traditional public forums, would survive under the First Amendment only if it is narrowly tailored to achieve a compelling government interest,� he added. �Allowing tag day solicitation while banning other solicitation would create a distinction based on the content of the speech or nature of the speaker. This distinction would not survive scrutiny under the Constitution.�
So, it looks like if the city is going to regulate panhandlers, it has no choice but to shut down tag days as well.
Mr. Petty said he believes other ways can be found for charitable organizations and youth sports groups to raise money as an alternative to tag days. But Ms. McGill said that is getting harder to do.
She said one of the bigger fundraising alternatives she was involved in before was candy sales, in which people go door-to-door and sell their candy. But she said such a fundraising method is becoming less popular and effective.
�Many parents can no longer afford to pay for the candy upfront and then sell it to get their money back, because they really don�t want their children going door-to-door trying to sell candy,� she said. �Our leagues are also in competition with the schools that are able to do fundraising throughout the year. We only have a short period, pretty much the six to eight weeks while we are playing.�
While this issue is supposed to come back before the City Council Tuesday night, it may be a while before a final decision is made, especially given the opposition to doing away with tag days.

Prosecutors get more time in case of UNH student death
DOVER, N.H. (AP) � A judge has granted prosecutors more time to build their case against a man charged with killing a University of New Hampshire student.
Seth Mazzaglia (mah-ZAY-lia) of Dover is accused of suffocating or strangling 19-year-old Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott Oct. 9.
Foster's Daily Democrat reports (http://bit.ly/Zyes3Z) a judge signed off on the state Attorney General's office request for an extension of the time by which they must bring an indictment against Mazzaglia.
Prosecutors now have until the end of February to present their case to a grand jury.
In December, Assistant Attorney General Peter Hinckley wrote in a motion the state was requesting additional time to interview witnesses and finish "certain investigative steps."
Last month, 19-year-old Kathryn McDonough was accused of lying to police about her whereabouts and interaction with Marriott.

Colorado Democratic Chairman Rick Palacio to help party nationwide
Colorado Democratic Party chairman Rick Palacio will help Democrats across the country attempt to bounce back from the midterm losses the party incurred last month.
Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chair of the Democratic National Committee, announced the appointments Friday to the Democratic Victory Task Force. In addition to Palacio, the appointees include Naomi Aberly, a Planned Parenthood board member and vice chair of the DNC's national finance committee; Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear; party strategist Donna Brazile; strategist and former DNC spokeswoman Maria Cardona; Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias; digital strategist Teddy Goff, who ran President Obama's online campaign in 2012; marketing expert Maneesh Goyal; AFL-CIO leader Lee Saunders; and Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt.
"I look forward to continuing the analysis of the 2014 election results nationwide," Palacio, 40, said in a statement Friday. "The Colorado Democratic Party has already reached out to Democrats around the state to gather key perspectives on how our elections were run. There's no better way to sure up the process than engaging with our grassroots Democrats."
He added, "I'm honored to be chosen and will passionately work to see how the party's role in key areas such as infrastructure, messaging and paid media worked and didn't work in 2014."
The task force will look to strengthen and improve on the work of the party and its allies. The announcement cited future midterm electiions, but in two years the White House, 10 Democratic seats, including Colorado's Michael Bennet, and 24 Republican seats in the U.S. Senate are up for election.
Palacio, a sixth generation Coloradan from Pueblo, was elected party chairman in 2011. He was an assistant to former Colorado House Majority Leader Alice Madden, held several positions with former U.S. Rep. John Salazar from Colorado and was an aide to U.S. House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland.

Content management system FAQ.
How does a CMS help us deliver more sales leads?
When you develop a consumer-first content strategy with your content management system, you reveal preferences, interests, and needs that can be targeted to build trust and brand loyalty. By pushing out content that becomes more relevant, interesting, and compelling, you send more leads to sales.
Can I automate content management?
You can automate several activities by using a content management system, including content optimization and delivery, responsive display, approval workflows, translation, and more.
We are a global company. How do we manage content at scale and across different regions?
A content management system provides global enterprises with greater content governance and access management as you scale. Store, tag, access, and search for contextually relevant content from a unified interface easily deployed across scattered teams.
What are localized, centralized, and federated content management?
A localized model gives content control to those closest to its creation. A centralized model puts control in a single content hub. Federated control shares content across multiple repositories.
Does a CMS require a heavy IT investment?
It depends on what you want from it and how you build your solution. Adobe provides considerable support and expertise to ensure you have an architecture with a minimum dependency on IT.
Do I need separate strategies for web, mobile, in-venue, and Internet of Things?
Not with the right CMS solution in place. By using a content fragment structure with independent textual, visual, and rich media elements you're able to easily adapt user experiences to fit any format.

Provide additional contact information that shooters should use to learn more about this shooting range.
Many shooting ranges require membership to a club. Others are public ranges, often run by the state and paid for by your tax dollars, or fee-based commercial ranges run by gun stores or training academies.
Check each type of shooting range at this location. Use the notes fields for distances, number of firing points, and so on. Abbreviate distances with yds for yards, ft for feet, and m for meters. Example notes for Outdoor Pistol: "12 firing points at 25 and 50 yds. Firing line is covered."
Please provide this information in case I need to follow up with you and if you have feedback which doesn't fit into the prior fields.
Thank you for helping keep this range listing accurate!
