the criminal and very anti-american element of the democrat party is absolutely breathtaking.
they are also aided and abetted by the mainstream media...and small town newspapers that censor conservative views.

Then each family member can set a good green example to the world.....of course, like for most of the other buyers WE will subsidize the company and REBATE THE 'BUYERS". From the moment the

Greece's coalition leaders sent written reform guarantees to European officials, a condition demanded for the release of new bankruptcy-saving loans, their respective parties said.
In his letter, Antonis Samaras, the conservative leader, said his party would "remain committed to the objectives, targets and key policies" described in the economic recovery programme agreed with the EU, International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank if it wins snap elections expected in April.
George Papandreou, the Socialist leader and former prime minister, had previously sent his own pledge, his party said.
However, Samaras - a long-term opponent of the EU-IMF loan agreement signed by then premier Papandreou in May 2010 - said that "policy modifications might be required" to guarantee the programme's full implementations, notably as regards growth.
"We intend to bring these issues to discussion along with viable policy alternatives, strictly within the framework outlined by the program, so that the achievement of its objectives will not be put at risk," Samaras said in the letter sent to the EU, the Eurogroup of finance ministers, the IMF and ECB.
Samaras' New Democracy party, which is widely tipped to return to power in April, has strongly criticised the EU-IMF blueprint as excessively focused on tax increases and pay cuts which have stymied growth after two years of austerity effort.
In a symbolic move aimed, Karolos Papoulias, the president, will give up his salary to help in the country's debt crisis.
Greece under pressure
Evangelos Venizelos, the Greek finance minister, announced the news on Wednesday.
"It is a gesture that honours the president. It's a symbolic gesture at a moment like this when the Greek people make such sacrifices," he said.
The news of the letter came after European finance ministers cancelled a meeting to discuss Greece's second bailout earlier in the day, creating further uncertainty over Greece's commitment to austerity reforms demanded by its creditors.
Jean-Claude Juncker, the prime minister of Luxembourg, who heads the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers, said Wednesday's meeting had been replaced by a conference call because Greece had failed to meet all the conditions needed in order to receive its next rescue loan.
Juncker said the group had not yet received assurances from Greek political leaders over their commitment to cuts, despite the measures being passed by the country's parliament.
He said Greece had also still to detail how it planned to cover a budget gap of $428m.
Jan Kees de Jager, the Dutch finance minister, said: "We should have everything clear on paper. We don't give an inch. We want everything, a complete package."
Greece needs access to the 130bn-euro loan ($170bn) in order to avoid defaulting on its debts next month, when it is due to pay out 14.5bn euros ($19bn) in redeemed government bonds.
But Greek political leaders have continued to rail against the stern measures demanded in return for the bailout.
Christos Papoutisis, the country's public order minister, said: "Greece has made all the efforts that it needed to do, and the people cannot take any more. The government is making superhuman efforts and we have reached the limits of the social and economic system."
'Playing with fire'
In comments reported by the Financial Times, Venizelos said: "In the euro area, there are plenty who don't want us anymore."
The paper quoted him as saying on Wednesday: "There are some playing with fire, domestically and abroad."
German officials stressed on Wednesday they wanted to do everything to keep Greece in the eurozone but said some assurances they sought that reforms would be undertaken were still missing.
Steffen Seibert, spokesman for Chancellor Angela Merkel, vigorously denied market rumours that Germany was happy to let Greece go bankrupt and leave the 17-nation eurozone.
"I can clearly state for the federal government that these rumours are false. There has not been such a decision from Germany," Seibert told a regular government briefing.

I love the artwork, music, and idea. It is frustrating sometimes, but it keeps you interested. On level 32 I'd managed to figure out what I had to do and get over the dang thing, when my brother asked me a question and I hit a spike by accident... I wasn't happy. At least this is fun and kept me entertained.
I have one question.
If he is looking for somewhere to fall asleep, why does he fall asleep if you dont move for 5 seconds?
When I've started that game, after fifteenth level I gave it 5/5.I was wrooooong.This game has story, fun game mechanics, decent music, but my god controls SUCKS!It's like you're walking on ice with rocket boots on Jupiter.You won't feel it until level 30-35, but then your RAGE meter will go up to the skies...
God,even when I played IWBTG, I wasn't so frustrated.So yeah, this game has everything to be perfect but controls broke everything for me.
And that's kinda sad.
I fell into one of the bricks. on level 5. reset and kept playing.

Westminster College hoping dual-degree programs pay off
SALT LAKE CITY — Westminister College's decision to offer dual degrees in China and the U.S. could boost graduates' salaries by as much as 30 percent and open up new opportunities in a sluggish job market.
Westminister launched a duel-degree Bachelor of Arts in Economics program where students at the Salt Lake City-based school study two years in the U.S. and then two years in China. Chinese students can also complete the same setup, beginning first in their native China and then transferring to Utah.
Students who complete such a program could see a possible 20 percent to 30 percent bump in their potential starting pay, said Anthony Bennett, senior recruiting manager of the Salt Lake City office of Barrett Business Services Inc.
"Those Chinese-owned businesses have a vested interest in those who have learned their customs (and) their language," he said. "(Almost) certainly they will be paying a premium for those individuals who can quickly and easily assimilate into their business culture."
China's economy became the world's second-largest, to the U.S., in August 2010 when China's $1.34 trillion gross domestic product passed Japan. The growth may continue, fueling demand for people who can bridge the two cultures.
In one example, Tom Nieman, managing director at Los Angeles-based executive recruitment firm Fortis Partners, said he dealt with a hundreds of candidates for a green technology company. One stood out from the rest because the candidate spoke Mandarin Chinese. Nieman's client deals with Chinese manufacturers for their clean technology and the bilingual candidate fit the need.
"The ability to speak English and Mandarin is a distinct leg-up," Nieman said.
The school said the program is designed to enrich the lives of students and enhance their understanding of different cultures.
In addition to China, Westminster is also pursuing graduate certificate opportunities for masters of business administration students at other universities worldwide, including in France, Brazil, Czech Republic and Australia.
While the job prospects for graduates with international business education and training may be a bit better than most, today's economy could also present challenges for those seeking positions in the local environment.
Recent graduates may have a tougher time finding jobs if they have to compete against the numerous other candidates who may have experience on their side, said Emily Rushton, Salt Lake City division director of Accountemps.
If graduates were willing to look at employers with a broader reach, then the prospects would improve greatly.
"If they are wanting to pursue a career in a global or international company, the language skills alone would make them more competitive," said Emily Rushton, Salt Lake City division director for Accountemps. Those skills would allow candidates to ask for higher pay "versus someone who doesn't have those bilingual skills," she added.
Graduates should be mindful, Rushton said, that people pursuing careers in international business are typically more competitive, which may require less experienced candidates to take less pay "to get their foot in the door" with a goal of long-term career growth and eventually higher salaries.
Yinghong Wu, a third-year student in Westminster's dual-degree program, also known as "2 + 2," is currently studying finance and economics. She began her finance studies at Nankai University in Tianjin, China, before coming to Utah for the completion of her undergraduate curriculum in economics.
"We should have someone who knows the policies of both China and America that seeks for (employment) opportunity within the (cultural) gap," Wu said. "(That's) my career goal."
Upon graduation, Wu will receive a finance degree from Nankai and an economics degree from Westminster.
Freshman Chenny Chen said he chose to study accounting in the United States so that he could help his family's export business in China. He said engaging in international business requires a fluency in English, which will work in his long-term favor.
Chen and Wu expressed wishes to utilize their new-found knowledge and training in their native homeland, at least initially, a sentiment appreciated by Chris Tong, director at the Center for China-American Studies at Westminster.
"They all have a plan to go home and contribute," Tong said. "They understand both worlds the west and how the markets in China operate. If they go back, I am totally confident they will be successful Chinese business leaders."

And this is getting annoying. We've read about actual potential use for this cloud, however MS track record does not deserve my conjuring up any of my non existent faith that this will actually pan out remotely how OTHERS have pointed out. Better and more dynamic AI in a racing game would definitely be amazing however I am personally not that into racing sims as I am into the arcadey racers. Would be nice if someone in camp "Cloud" would come out with something to show (what ever the hell that could be) to give us a taste. Until then I can't be too into it.

You retort to my response with it seems like people don't read anymore yet you failed to read my post. Unless your post isn't directed at me then my bad.
The improvements you will get offloading the AI onto the so called cloud isn't going to be that much of a difference. I even heard people say lighting as well but even with lighting that will take a big enough hit off the bandwidth. The guy in the article said that because of the cloud, the AI will improved. I doubt that. The cloud will mainly benefit off of servers more than anything else. offloading certain resources isn't going to be that much in the first place.
The reason I'm bringing this up is because even on other forums people are putting so much emphasis on the cloud that it's becoming silly.

I don't the the ps4 nor the x1 will benefit from upgrades graphically on cloud. that is too much information that needs to be downloaded per second with the average connection..... A.I response in games maybe but not graphics no sorry.... I would love for them to prove like minds wrong.

08-02-2013 #88
The way I interpreted this article was that its not so much running the AI on the cloud in real time but more sending and receiving AI that has been programmed on the cloud, and then the game running that new code. Because we do know the game can run with out being connected to the internet, it the AI run on the servers then what would happen if there was network issues? Or synchronization issues with latency from the server and physics calculations?
Also a 20% graphics gain? I can see physics being better but not graphics, unless they some how were running the AI on the GPU. There won't be huge RAM benefits either.
But having said all that, one thing I want to know is what would happen if the AI progressively gets so good that its impossible to beat? or worse case scenario....skynet...but for racing :P

When they say 600% im just going to look at this as 6x more processing power for AI which doesnt seem like much but when you say 600% boy people get excited. 6x more processing power frees up 10-20% more power for Gfx it seems like a huge leap then you have to ask cant the ps4 do the same thing?
"I think all those developers who are saying, "We dont want to do a PS3 game," or "Its really difficult to do it," should shut up and make their games. If you have time to complain about it, then you should be spending your time working on getting the most from the hardware."

It's DOES NOT OFFER 600%, it's "CAN OFFER 600%". Hell, it could actually only be doing "100%".... or less for that matter. Never know.

Bestselling author Stephen L. Carter delivers a gripping political thriller set against the backdrop of Watergate, Vietnam, and the Nixon White House.
Philmont Castle is a man who has it all: wealth, respect, and connections. He's the last person you'd expect to fall prey to a murderer, but then his body is found on the grounds of a Harlem mansion by the young writer Eddie Wesley, who along with the woman he loves, Aurelia Treene, is pulled into a twenty-year search for the truth. The disappearance of Eddie's sister June makes their investigation even more troubling. As Eddie and Aurelia uncover layer upon layer of intrigue, their odyssey takes them from the wealthy drawing rooms of New York through the shady corners of radical politics all the way to the Oval Office and President Nixon himself.

It's always enjoyable when your hometown's in the news, even if it's for something as outrageous as a youth football referee being awarded a $275,000 settlement after he was tackled and thrown to the ground, fracturing his shoulder.

All and all, it was a great eye-opening experience for Glenn, Tara, and Dave. The weather held out nicely considering the record setting rain in the area just before.

We caught TONS of giant smallmouth bass! The weather was decent, except for a couple of super windy days. We managed to avoid any bears or scary wildlife...just lots of chipmunks! As usual, the scenery was great. There's just something so cool about nature that's virtually untouched by man.

However, we were there on the busiest of weekends and there were plenty of docks to be had.

Local Had Rough Start in Filmwork
From Issue: Volume XXI - Number 14
By Steve Propes
It all started in a Subway in Phoenix. Subway Sandwiches, that is. The first acting role Shaun Gerardo got paid for was in a Subway commercial as a very young man.
From that rather modest commercial success, Gerardo has parlayed his acting prowess into a half dozen films, mostly in the horror genre. "I've had a lot of struggles, for sure," said 28-year-old Gerardo. "Adversity, definitely, in any business, you have to overcome. My dad wasn't around and my mom was constantly working. I grew up in Phoenix" and attended Arcadia High School. "Steven Spielberg went there before he grew up in San Jose.
"Until I was nine, I lived with my grandfather, Vito Gerardo, who was in the mob in Chicago. He would hint at it. We would be watching "Casino," the Joe Pesci character, who played Nicky Santoro. They used to call him Tony the Ant, it was brutal the way Pesci would portray him, my uncle would say 'he was my best friend.'
"One of my high school friends kept some rented videos he should have returned. My grandfather would drive around in a Cadillac, he saw my buddy walking home, he made him get in the car, told him, 'my grandson tells me you got my movies.' Scared him to return the videos. He really was the real deal."
In high school, "I was really short, so I was picked on at school. I became isolated, had to break out of that shell. In my junior year, when I did my first play, everything changed. From being picked on, Gerardo heard comments like "wow, you're a funny guy."
Gerardo, who now lives in the Belmont Heights area in Long Beach attributes some of his ability to his background. "It came from my dad, who wasn't always around, trying to express myself when acting was involved; I was a natural, so I just went with it. I came from a tough place, so working with the charity with my uncle was rewarding."
His uncle is Sonny Bozeman, a well-known local access TV personality and former candidate for city council. Gerardo lives with Bozeman, who has run a non-profit named Out Flow for 15 years. "It helps those in need of food, toys, clothing, turkeys at Thanksgiving. We take calls daily to fill those needs." Gerardo is now vice president of Out Flow.
His first feature was as "a murder suspect in 'The Eleventh Aggression,'" a horror film in 2009. "It was easy work. I had about two or three scenes as the ultimate dirt bag suspect."
Gerardo admits playing such a character "can be difficult, it's a mental challenge. You have to be happy in your personal life to be a good actor. Al Pacino once said, if he didn't have a girlfriend, he couldn't do that kind of part."
Then came "Survival of the Fittest" in 2010. "I was producer on that, I auditioned for the project, the other producer really liked me, so we ended up working together. It made a little bit of money. We can shoot a film for $20,000, find an actor, for me, it was Bill Oberst Jr., he's done over 200 films and is a good friend of mine.
"Out here, actors are everywhere you look, filmmakers and artists are a rarer breed. Acting is easy, go in, get your paycheck, go home. Filmmakers are more of a knowledge-driven kind of people. As a producer and writer, you have to have a broad background on various subjects."
Oberst and Gerardo were also in a new film, "Clock Out." "My partner funds my films. I had a little bit more money. It's the story of Toby, who suffers from the AIDs virus, has a drug problem and being a little naïve ends up getting talked into a drug heist with his best friend, who claimed it would help him make money to pay for his medication. In the end, he makes a character change."
Another film, "'Criminal' is in editing; it's a cross between 'Dexter' and 'The Crow.' The lead character Marcus Taylor has a dark past. His mom was killed by his dad; he's a beat cop by day, at night he wages war on all criminals."
"I'm working on two scripts, 'Born Enemies,' about two characters with dark pasts who come together and 'The Affinity,' slated to come out in 2014.
"Movies are a purely left brain, logical business; trying to charm people is key to it, magic to Hollywood, if you embrace challenges, intertwined with several people, you can meet people who can change your own life. If you can charm people, you can change people.
"I like to make things with twists at the end that play on your imagination, like psycho thrillers, if I'm writing it, I like to produce great content."

2011 Ford Mad Max Concept Ford Australia, in partnership with TopGear Australia magazine, has unveiled not one, but two spectacular new Mad Max Interceptors. The 21st century concepts have been designed by Ford's designers for TopGear Magazine Australia to help celebrate the revival of the Mad Max action movie genre. It is more than 30 years since Hollywood director, George Miller's original Mad Max movie - starring Mel Gibson and a jet black Ford XB coupe-based Interceptor - hit movie screens around the world. Ford Australia's Melbourne-based Asia, Pacific and Australia Design Director, Chris Svensson, jumped at the chance to design a new Interceptor and has since thrown the full weight of Ford Australia's Research Centre behind the project, with stunning results. "Our entire team was very excited to be involved in this after-hours project and they approached it with a great deal of enthusiasm - even those that were too young to remember the first Mad Max movie," Svensson said. "We had a special screening of the original movie so they could understand it." Led by chief designer passenger cars Asia, Pacific and Africa, Todd Willing, the team created several way-out concepts that pay homage to styling cues from the original XB Coupe Interceptor. Out of the concepts two have been chosen by the magazine to feature in the April issue of TopGear Australia magazine, on sale now, because they take body design, power sources and weaponry to a futuristic level. TopGear Australia magazine readers will be invited to vote on which design Ford should take to the next level. The winning car will be turned into a clay model, and then a scale version, which is expected to be revealed later this year. The two competing designs - by designers Nima Nourian and Simon Brook - are limitless in their imagination, technology and weaponry. Among the weaponry is an industrial-strength "taser" mounted to the bonnet to zap bad guys on bikes straight off the road. Other futuristic movie features include a titanium-lined body shell to interrupt police scanners and wheels with extendable spikes to shred enemy vehicles. Nourian said his design paid tribute to the 1970s Interceptor, but also drags the car into the future. "There are some great scenes in the first movie with high-speed chases and clashes with the bad guys, and I thought I'd take that one step further," he said. "So instead of having weapons and machine guns, we've got an industrial strength taser that'll zap cars dead and out of the way. Brook's car was equally threatening. "During high-speed pursuits, the wheel's inner spokes on my design would pop out and start ripping up other cars," Brook said. "They'd do some serious damage to other people's vehicles." Brook's design takes cues from the current FG Falcon but advances it further into Armageddon-land, while adding touches of the retro Interceptor as well. "I wanted to keep it clean and aerodynamic in its essence, but still brutal and tough."

I made this video as just a side note spoof on the new technology that's becoming common while showcasing a fun car in the process. I had NO intention of this video becoming popular or getting so many views and comments. I've had a LOT of negativity, and hateful comments. Most of my videos get a great response and a lot of LOVE in the comments. Along with all the hate, in the last 30 days, I've gained 44 new subscribers from this whim video and I've made over $325.00 from this video. For that I say thank you! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I know from the comments that no one reads this video description. THIS CONTEST RAN IT'S COURSE AND IS NOW OVER. I WILL BE DOING FURTHER GIVE AWAYS SOON. =) If you did read this far, please say so in the comments section and I'll give you a prize as my way of saying thank you.

Abstract: | While LNA has been examined as a therapeutic agent in various antisense scenarios, we are exploring LNA as a programmable biomaterials assembly and disassembly tool under isothermal conditions. To drive isothermal disassembly of LNA-linked objects, we employ displacement strategies in which one hybridization partner is replaced by another. While LNA shows great promise in these schemes, a clear understanding of its hybridization activity is lacking in the literature. In the current study, we use flow cytometry to compare the in situ displacement activity of LNA and DNA-based targets on microsphere surfaces. By monitoring displacement events as they occur on microsphere surfaces, we can directly assess and compare the competitive abilities of natural and modified oligonucleotides in the absence of any experimental artifacts arising from conventional wash steps prior to analysis. |

Located at the tip of beautiful Edgartown, it is a nice beach for family enjoyment. It is opposite Wasque Point which I highly also recommend. Neither beach is crowded so a family can spend the day swimming without loads of people around.
We headed to Norton Point beach as a guest of some lovely friends. Heading past the crowds at South Beach, we drove right onto the Beach. We barbequed and had a lovely lunch, sunbathed, played with the kids, and enjoyed the gorgeous weather. It's all about you and family at Norton Point Beach....
Great beach. Very natural setting. Bring what you need because there is nothing but nice sand and ocean. This beach used to connect to Chappaquidick but a storm washed out the point. Three mile walk to the point.
We had a blast driving over the sand to hang out at the beach all day. We parked on the bay side where the water is shallow so the little ones could play in the water, the Atlantic side is great for the older kids to boogie board or body surf. Please note that you need to deflate your tires... More
We went out to the area where you can drive right out to the beach and park right at the spot you want (permit required). I've never done that before... so cool. The beach itself is fantastic. Very Highly Recommended
If you have a four wheel drive vehicle and love the beach, this is the place for you. Serious waves, the smell of the ocean, and the beauty of not having to carry things out to the beach. Instead, you open the tail gate on your SUV, take out your beach chairs, and relax. But, please note, the is a... More
What seperates Norton from most Beaches on the island is the fact that you can drive your 4wd vehile out on it. They charge a fee for 1 day around 35 $ I think and a season pass for 125$. There are several beaches you can stop on depending if you want to be around people or if you want... More

JPMorgan compliance chief leaves firm: WSJ
Send a link to a friend Share
[February 26, 2014] (Reuters) — The compliance chief of JPMorgan Chase & Co's <JPM.N> has quit the largest U.S. bank, roughly a year after being appointed to the position, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
Chief Compliance Officer Cindy Armine is expected to take a job at payment processor First Data Corp, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter. (http://r.reuters.com/qap27v)
JPMorgan could not be immediately reached for comment outside regular U.S. business hours.
Last year, the company agreed to about $20 billion in settlements to clear up legal claims. The deals covered claims about mortgage issues, as well as derivatives and power trading.
According to the WSJ report, the bank's Chief Administrative Officer, Lou Rauchenberger, has been appointed as interim chief compliance officer and the company is looking for a permanent replacement.
Earlier on Tuesday, the JPMorgan announced 8,000 jobs cuts and lowered its 2014 profit target, hurt by weakness in its mortgage and trading business.

Migrating from Linux/Solaris to Windows and vice versa
I need to migrate from Oracle on Linux or Sun Solaris to Oracle on Windows 2000 and the other way around. What are the issues with the migration?
If your database is at Oracle 10g, you have another option, which is to use the cross-platform transportable tablespaces feature. Solaris, Linux and Windows are supported platforms (you can query the view V$TRANSPORTABLE_PLATFORM to see supported platforms) but they are of different endianness. Solaris is big endian while Linux and Windows are little endian, so there may be an additional step involved to convert the tablespaces being...

Maternal perceptions of infant hunger, satiety, and pressuring feeding styles in an urban Latina WIC population. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 20004633 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
OBJECTIVE: Controlling feeding styles in which parents regulate feeding without responding to child cues have been associated with poor self-regulation of feeding and increased weight, but have not been well studied in infancy. We sought to assess maternal perception of infant feeding cues and pressuring feeding styles in an urban Latina Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) population. METHODS: Secondary analysis of a larger study of Latina mothers participating in New York City WIC programs. We examined maternal perception of infant feeding cues and pressuring feeding style. Using logistic regression, we assessed: 1) characteristics associated with perceptions of cues and pressuring to feed, including sociodemographics, breastfeeding, and maternal body mass index; and 2) whether perceptions of cues were associated with pressuring feeding style. RESULTS: We surveyed 368 mothers (84% response rate). Most mothers perceived that babies sense their own satiety. However, 72% believed that infant crying must indicate hunger. Fifty-three percent believed that mothers should always make babies finish the bottle ("pressure to feed"). Pressuring feeding style was associated with foreign maternal country of birth (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 3.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.66-5.60) and less than a high school education (AOR 1.81; 95% CI, 1.12-2.91). Two perceptions of feeding cues were related to pressuring feeding style: belief that infant crying must indicate hunger (AOR 2.59; 95% CI, 1.52-4.42) and infant hand sucking implies hunger (AOR 1.83; 95% CI, 1.10-3.03). CONCLUSIONS: Maternal characteristics influence perception of infant hunger and satiety. Interpretation of feeding cues is associated with pressuring feeding style. Improving responsiveness to infant cues should be a component of early childhood obesity prevention. |

A driver was found dead in an overturned car in a ditch with water rapidly filling it on a rural road in Manawatu this morning.
St John territory manager for Manawatu Geoff Bates said there wasn't anything he could do when he arrived at the scene with an ambulance crew.
"The car had ended up in a ditch on its roof with quite a significant amount of water in it," Mr Bates said.
The ambulance crew couldn't do anything to help the man, who was dead when they arrived at the scene.
Manawatu police said they were informed of the crash about 8am.
The car was crashed on Hurst Road, between Bulls and Sanson.
The police serious crash unit is investigating and the victim is yet to be named.

Advice for Newbie
Like (0)
Hi! I heard about active.com recently and decided to pay a little visit.
I'm 45. 5'9 and currently 193 lbs. They don't show, but they're there (I've always been heavier than I look). Not too long ago (about 5 months) I was 170lbs, cycling constantly (about 50-100 miles/week) but then winter came and my wife ramped up the cooking and the rest is history (or extra weight I should say).
Through the years I have remained fairly active. Pickup basketball when I was younger, running, a few years of Taekwando, weightlifting, hiking. But with my responsibilities (wife, two teen boys, IT career, church, etc) I haven't been able to maintain a fitness lifestyle.
Well, I'm now tired of seeing the clock tick away and I'd like to do something about it. With all the fuss about nutrition, proper ways to train, etc, it seems like you need a degree to sort it all out.
Here are my goals, plain and simple.
1) 165-170 lbs.
2) Less than 34" around my waist.
3) Be able to squat 300+ lbs. and bench-bress at least 200+ lbs.
4) Run a 10k race in no more than 50min.
5) Ride a century in no more than 7 hrs.
6) Just feel good and active and be able to keep up with my kids.
How could I set up a cross-training program that would let me achieve my goals w/o overtraining? What resources (books, web links, videos, etc) can help me become more " educated" about my training choices?
Thank you!

Plymouth contracts out management of water & sewer district
by Thomas P. Caldwell.
PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth Village Water and Sewer District has chosen Utility Partners, the national company that has provided utility management services to the Town of Ashland since 2010, to operate the town's wastewater treatment facility on an interim basis.
Unlike Ashland, where the company hires the staff to operate the town's wastewater treatment facility and sewer collection system eight hours a day, five days a week, Plymouth will be contracting with Utility Partners to send a manager to oversee the village district crew one day a week, but he will be available by phone at other times. Initially, the manager will spend five days getting to know the system and the workers before switching to the one-day-per-week schedule.
The three-month contract at $85 per hour will satisfy the N.H. Department of Environmental Services' requirements for plant operation. Plymouth has not been in technical compliance since the resignation of the wastewater superintendent, followed two weeks later by that of the district administrator, earlier this spring.
According to Commission Chair Judith D'Aleo, the DES requires that operators match the grade of the treatment facility. In Plymouth's case, it is a Grade 3 plant, requiring a Grade 3 operator. The current staff members have Grade 1 and Grade 2 certifications. Utility Partners will provide the appropriately credentialed supervisor to satisfy the state and help the district determine its long-term strategy.
Merelise O'Connor, the interim district administrator, noted that Utility Partners also provides bulk purchasing advantages that could further reduce costs.
The initial, three-month contract may be extended if it works out well; and there is an option of hiring the company full-time, as Ashland does, in which case Utility Partners could hire those already working at the plant. The commissioners noted that hiring the company is less expensive than what the village district has been doing.
D'Aleo said after the meeting that exploring the options was not a direct result of the resignations. "We're always looking at staffing issues and trying to be more efficient," she said.
Also at the May 20 meeting, the commission agreed to appropriate $25,000 to continue funding O'Connor's position through Municipal Resources, Inc.
Citing new work responsibilities, Commissioner Steve Kahl said he would have to reluctantly resign from the board, but he agreed to continue through June 6 and said he would "keep my nose in the process" as the district moves ahead with its search for a new groundwater source. Kahl has served on the commission since 2009.

Commercial building boom in Belmont
BELMONT — Commercial building permits are on the rise, according to Town Planner Candace Daigle, bringing some positive economic news to this southern Belknap County community.
Daigle said she has had six separate site plan review requests including two from Winnisquam Marine. One is a request for a new building on the corner of Sunset Drive, where Sarge's Store used to be, and a second one — still in the development phase — is for the renovation of the former Winnisquam Fire Station into a show room.
"It's exciting if not daunting to be a part of this," she said.
She said Winnipesaukee Truck is planning a new building on Rte. 106, across from First Student Bus Company and Pensco Company, which owns the building that houses The Vault and Church Street Laundry, is working on a new application for an another 4,000-square-foot commercial building on its Church Street site.
She said owner Scott Williams told her that the newly renovated Belmont Village looks so nice that he would like to have a second commercial building in the area.
Daigle said developer A.E. Mitchell has started construction on an expansion of Belmont Self Storage on Rte. 106 at Eastgate Park and is readying to begin building a self-serve car wash and an office building on Prescott Hill also on Rte. 106.
She said there is also a change of tenant application coming forward for the former Pasta Patio restaurant building on Rte. 3 and the restaurant will reopen as Mama Mia's.
Daigle also said the department is flooded with residential building permits. She said the long winter delayed many of the construction projects that would have typically started in March and April.
She said most of the residential permits are for home improvement projects and not new housing.
"People are putting their money into their existing homes," she said. "It's a trend we've seen in the past few years."

Clean-up work on lower Liberty Hill has begun
GILFORD — Work to remove the toxic coal tar discovered beneath four house lots off lower Liberty Hill Road has begun with the clearing, fencing and preparation of a 4.5-acre site where nearly 140,000 tons of contaminated soil will be excavated, transported, treated and returned. The project, which is estimated to cost approximately $17 million, will be undertaken in two phases during this construction season and the next.
Yesterday, officials from Liberty Utilities, the corporate successor to the gas company that originally disposed of the coal tar more than a half-century ago hosted a tour of the site, stressing the extensive measures that have been taken to limit the impact of the project on the neighborhood and safeguard the heath and well-being of its residents.
Jim Ash of GEI Consultants, Inc. of Woburn, Massachusetts has overseen the remediation of the site since the contamination was reported in 2004 and is the principal architect of the operation to remove the contamination. He explained that altogether 93,000-cubic-yards of soil, of which between 40,000 and 45,000 are expected to be contaminated and require treatment, will be excavated. The soil will be trucked to ESMI (Environmental Soil Management ) Companies in Loudon, where the contaminants will be removed by thermal treatment, then returned to the site for backfill. Some 50,000 cubic yards of soil will be stockpiled on site for use as backfill.
The excavation has begun at the southern end of the site while the supporting infrastructure for the project is located to the north. Next year the site will be flipped as the northern portion is excavated.
David Boram, construction manager of the site, said that four trucks, each leaving with 20-cubic-yards of contaminated soil and returning with an equal load of clean fill, will make four round-trips each day, timed not to coincide with the school bus schedule. Trucks will enter at the northern end of the site, dump clean fill at a designated stockpile and collect contaminated soil stockpiled on a secure site, pass through a wheel-wash station and leave by the north gate. He expects the 34-mile run to Loudon and and back to take about an hour and a quarter. He said that the proximity of ESMI's facility has significantly reduced the cost of the operation.
Excavated areas will be backfilled as the work progresses. "There will not be a large, deep hole on the site," Ash said.
Ash said that apart from when trucks enter and leave the site will be secured at all times. Throughout the operation levels of dust, fumes, noise and vibration will be monitored electronically in real time around the clock at a number of locations around the site. For each condition threshold levels have been designated, which he described as "very conservative." For example, the threshold for vibration is equivalent to that of someone walking across the living room floor, the noise level is below that of lawnmower, and the sensor for dust is triggered before it is visible to the naked eye. Moreover, two thresholds have been set for each condition: an action threshold, which once reached requires immediate corrective measures steps, and an alert threshold, representing two-thirds of the action threshold. All conditions can be monitored on a laptop computer on site.
A lined retention pond has been constructed on site to capture groundwater from the contaminated soil before it leaves the site to be treated. The water will be pumped into an adjacent water treatment plant erected on site. After being treated to standards set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Resources, which Ash described as "essentially drinking water standards," the water will be discharged, in appropriate volume and at moderate velocity, toward Jewett Brook, west of the site.
In the 1950s the coal tar, a by-product from a manufactured gas plant in Laconia, was dumped in a sand and gravel pit on the south side of lower Liberty Hill Road, which was subsequently reclaimed and divided into house lots. However, it was overlooked until 2004, when in the course of litigation it came to the attention of KeySpan, the corporate successor to the original gas company. KeySpan was itself acquired by National Grid in 2007, which was acquired by Liberty Utilities in 2012.
Mary Casey, who oversees environmental, health and safety for Liberty Utilities, said that the company will post a weekly update on its website — www.lowerlibertyhillsite.com. — throughout the project. The company will also maintain a hotline — 603-216-3600 — and respond to questions and comments from the public within one business day.

Lafond admits guilt through plea bargain
LACONIA — Facing eight charges arising from the collision that took the life of one teenage girl and severely injured another on Messer Street last April, Amy Lafond yesterday pleaded guilty to negligent homicide and second degree assault, along with possession of of a narcotic drug and unlawful possession of a prescription medication.
The state dropped the charge of manslaughter, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison along with a misdemeanor drug offense and three traffic violations.
Lafond is scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday, May 29, at 10 a.m.
Ashen and drawn, Lafond, who has been held in the Belknap County Jail in lieu of bail since her arrest, remained impassive throughout the proceedings in Belknap County Superior Court, responding to Justice James D. O'Neill III's instructions and questions with barely audible yes and no answers.
Lilyanna Johnson and Alyssa Miner were struck by the Jeep Cherokee driven by Lafond while on the sidewalk near the crosswalk at the south end of the Messer Street Bridge at approximately 2:30 p.m. on April 19. Lafond was traveling northbound on Messer Street toward its intersection with Opechee Street. A car going in the same direction had stopped at the crosswalk, apparently to enable a number of Middle School students to cross the street. Lafond skirted the stopped car, crossed into the southbound lane of Messer Street and mounted the raised sidewalk, hitting the two girls.
Johnson died from her injuries while Miner suffered a fractured pelvis and ruptured spleen as well as severe lacerations and internal injuries.
Following yesterday's hearing, attorney Mark Sisti, who represented Lafond, said that "she insisted on a plea. She wanted to make sure that the victims' families did not have to go through this trial."
Belknap County Attorney Melissa C. Gulbrandsen told the court that the Johnson and Miner families accepted the negotiated plea, but asked that Lafond serve a minimum sentence of six-and-a-half years in prison.
"No amount of time diminishes the pain and suffering these families have felt," she said.
Negligent homicide, a class B felony, carries a sentence of three-and-a-half to seven years in prison. According to the plea agreement, Lafond is required to undergo counseling and treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and forfeit her driver's license indefinitely. She will be forbidden to contact by any means, either directly or indirectly, the family of Lilyanna Johnson, and to make restitution amounting to $120,000.
Second degree assault, a class B felony, also carries a three-and-a-half to seven year sentence to be served consecutively with six months of the minimum suspended on condition she undergo counseling and treatment for substance abuse. Again Lafond may not contact the family of Allyssa Miner and is required to make restitution of $140,000.
The three-and-a-half to seven year sentence for possession of a narcotic drug was agreed suspended, conditional on her good behavior for 10 years while on parole. Finally she was given a suspended sentence of a year in the Belknap County House of Corrections for unlawful possession of a prescription drug, a misdemeanor.
In accepting the plea bargain as appropriate, Sisiti told the court that it ensures that Lafond, who recently turned 53, will be incarcerated or paroled until she is 67 years old. With time served and good behavior, he expected she will serve five years and four months in prison.
Guldbrandsen told the court that there was not sufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Lafond was impaired when the collision occurred, in which case the negligent homicide charge would haven risen to a class A felony with a maximum sentence of 15 years imprisonment. Therefore, she accepted the plea of guilty to the charge of negligent homicide for failing to maintain a proper lookout.
Presenting the state's evidence in the case, Guldbrandsen said that one witness reported that Lafond was holding a cell phone before the collision. Moreover, police executing a search warrant of her cell phone found that she had received three calls and a text message in the four minutes surrounding the time of the collision.
The Belknap Regional Accident Investigation Team, Gulkdbrandsen said, confirmed that Lafond, while traveling northbound on Messer Street crossed the double yellow line into the southbound lane at the junction with Opechee Street, then climbed on to the sidewalk, where she struck the two girls, struck the guardrail on the bridge and caromed across the roadway to come to rest in the northbound lane. Analysis of images of Lafond's vehicle captured by a surveillance camera mounted on Irwin Motors property indicated that she was traveling at 40 miles per hour, 10 miles per hour above the posted speed limit.
Following the incident, Guldbrandsen recounted, Lafond was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital where she told Officer Ben Black of the Laconia Police "I may have blinked for 30 seconds at the time of the collision.
Guldbrandsen said that the attending nurse found a 30 milligram oxycodone pill in Lafond's clothing. A blood test, Guldbrandsen said, measured 166 nanograms per milliliter of oxycodone in Lafond's bloodstream, which Guldbrandsen said was well above the 10 to 100 nanograms per milliliter common among patients using the drug as prescribed. In the course of searching Lafond's vehicle Officer Jeff Wholley found gabapentin, a prescription medication for managing pain. Lafond had no prescription for either drug.
