CHARLOTTETOWN -- When it comes to his track and field career, Akeem Haynes of Calgary has barely left the blocks. But he's already taking the Canadian junior sprint scene by storm.
The 17-year-old raced to gold in the men's 100 metres at the Canada Games on Monday, in just his first full season in the sport.
Haynes ran 10.47 seconds on a track still slippery after a day of rain. Tyrone Halstead of Mississauga, Ont., won the silver in 10.62, while Carlisle Stanford, also from Mississauga, took the bronze in 10.77 on the first day of track and field at the Games.
"I just wanted to go out and place top three, and happily I did that. I guess I surprised some people this year," said the unassuming sprinter. "It's been a good year, I'd say."
Noelle Montcalm of Windsor, Ont., won the women's 100, claiming the gold in a photo finish of 11.82, edging Loudia Laarman of Lethbridge, Alta., who was also timed in 11.82. Chantal Grant of Winnipeg was third in 12.04.
Haynes, who's five years younger than the age limit for track at the Canada Games, ran track in high school last year, but didn't take it seriously until he hooked up with Calgary coach John Cannon. He won the Alberta high school championships this year, and went on to capture gold in the 100 and silver in the 200 at the Canadian junior championships.
Haynes made the Canadian team for the world youth championships last month in Italy, but couldn't go as the athletes have to foot the bill for that trip.
Cameron Levins of Black Creek, B.C., won the men's 5,000 in 14:23.01 to cap the night. Stephane Colle of Quebec took the silver in 14:27.26, while Matt Brunsting of Stirling, Ont., won bronze in 14:35.57.
Jessica O'Connell of Calgary easily won gold in the women's 5,000 in 16:39.33, in only her second time racing the distance.
"It's really exciting, I've never won a national event before so I'm really happy," O'Connell said.
Valerie Belanger of Chicoutimi, Que., won the silver 16:56.78, while Rachel Cliff of Vancouver took the bronze in 16:59.79.
O'Connell normally runs the 1,500 metres, and will be one of the favourites in that event here. She stuck in a lead group of three runners before pulling away with two kilometres to go, and was never challenged again.
"The 5,000 is really nice and relaxed because it's such a slower pace than the 1,500, so it always feels good in the beginning," said O'Connell, who attends the University of West Virginia. "It feels long though, there's a lot of time to think about whatever you want."
O'Connell said she thought about a song.
"I just kept repeating it, repeating it," she said, laughing. "Third Eye Blind -- `Never Let You Go."'
Despite the win, O'Connell said she has no sudden urge to move up to the longer distance.
"Don't really want to, it's so long."

So I only do it on weekends (with few exeptions) as so it does not interfer with school. What im getting at is at why did everyone here start smoking weed and what kind of smoker you are? As I stated I did it out of curiousity and am a mostly weekend toker.

(West Plains) – The first ever Color Me For CASA color run held Saturday morning in West Plains shattered expectations, raising approximately $20,000 for the 37th Judicial CASA, or Court Appointed Special Advocates.
37th CASA Financial Director Judy Hansmann told Ozark Radio News Saturday afternoon that a total of 712 participants ran in the Saturday event, which started and ended at the West Plains Civic Center and consisted of a 5K Run or a 1K walk/run. Approximately $20,000 was raised in the event, however a final monetary total will come later, as it will take some time to get a final total from internet donations.
Of the 712 participants, 58 of them were from Fairview School, which won a trophy for the most participants from a school.
The funding will be used to offset costs for the group, which advocates in court for children across the 37th Judicial Circuit who have been abused, neglected or abandoned, and helps find them a loving home. The 37th Circuit covers Howell, Oregon, Shannon and Carter Counties.

I confess… the title is misleading. Sadly, there is no silver bullet when it comes to introducing Sage CRM to your MAS or Accpac customers.
There is no sure-fire trick, gimmick or approach that will work every time. CRM is a complex system and – just like MAS and Accpac – you need to do some homework before presenting and recommending it.
With that said, over the next few articles, I am going to review a *general* approach that will help you better position Sage CRM and help your customers better understand its value.
If you would like a sneak peek, see the slideshare presentation below. I'm going to be using this presentation as a general guide for the discussions.

Google, software engineer propose new Scrabble values as language changes
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- January 16, 2013
- After 75 years of Scrabble, some argue tile values are out-of-date
- Is Z, worth 10 points, really worth only six?
- Would you accept X as five points when it is now eight?
GOOGLE wants to shake-up Scrabble. Too many characters, the internet behemoth insists, are over-valued or under appreciated.
The points assigned to Scrabble's letters as we now know them were taken by the game's inventor Alfred Butts from how often they appeared on the front page of the 1930s New York Times.
Much has changed since then. Language has evolved and usage mutated. New realms of science, media and entertainment have created many new words.
So Google unleashed a researcher on its extraordinary database of all the world's English web pages to find out just how frequently different words and characters are used.
The study proves what many players already know: Your U is useless unless you need to offload a Q. Z is way overpowered and J seriously undervalued.
Have your say

Since Americans have managed to butcher the English language to the point where US spelling could be regarded as a launguage in its own right, not just a seperate dialect, Google's plot is irrelevant.

That's "language" and "separate".

Australian bishops call for Archbishop Sheen's beatification
Catholic World News - May 19, 2011
The president and vice president of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference, joined by other Australian prelates, have lent their support to the beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen.
Bishop Daniel Jenky of Peoria will present the document summarizing Archbishop Sheen's life and virtues to Pope Benedict on May 25.
Cardinal George Pell praised Archbishop Sheen for "harnessing the media to present Catholic teaching in a compelling and faithful way."
"My life has been profoundly touched by his stressing of a daily Eucharistic holy hour, and I believe that the spiritual leadership which he has provided is worthy of closer examination," Archbishop Denis Hart of Melbourne added. "Clearly evident was his loyalty to the Church, passionate love of God, and devotion to Mary, our Blessed Mother."

Older homes reveal all kinds of surprises if a person knows where to look.
Over time, Tom Osborn has been replacing the double-hung windows in his Milton-Freewater home, built in the early 1940s, with energy-efficient vinyl ones.
During this process, he's recovered 70-year-old recycled evening Walla Walla Union-Bulletin newspapers rolled up and stuffed around the original window openings for insulation.
The first newspapers he pulled out were so dry and brittle, they crumbled in his hands.
But others he set aside happened to get rained on, which extended their life.
He was able to roll the tattered-edged, yellowing newsprint mostly flat and has been enjoying perusing their content.
Tom loaned me a few page fragments on Dec. 6, 2011, that are from the Saturday, Dec. 6, 1941, issue, the day before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, which swept America into World War II.
All kinds of news is featured over eight columns on the front page, with a photo of American-built fighter planes being in Burma before being flown into China.
The Japanese were in the area and the planes were intended to guard the Burma Road where U.S. trucks, drivers and technicians were on the job.
A major story out of Washington, D.C., at the top of the page is headlined "Uneasy Peace Hanging Over Pacific As U.S. Awaits Japanese Move."
The two nations were in negotiations about Japan's aggression in the Far East, and Tokyo's explanation for amassing troops in French Indo-China had yet to be delivered to U.S. officials.
The article also reported the unexplained recall of attaches from the Japanese embassy. Needless to say, the article reports extreme tension from both nations. A collective breath was being held all over.
Other news stories reported a German commerce raider sunk the British cruiser Dorsetshire in the south Atlantic; Columbia Broadcasting System heard a radio broadcast that reported the Russians broke through German lines along a highway in Leningrad; the British were readying for war in the Far East; and Russian ski troops were reported in action along their entire front.
In a story headlined "Hunter Takes 20 Years To Get Deer, Keeps It Only One Day," a hapless hunter from Steelton, Pa., had the misfortune of losing his 10-point buck to thieves, who swiped it from in front of a downtown cafe where he'd hung it for the whole town to see. Thieves evidently staked it out and made off with the venison in the night.
Businesses advertising on Page Three included B. Barer & Sons on North Fourth Avenue; Johnson Electric at 35 S. Spokane St.; Perfection Cleaners, owners Robert Smootz and C.W. Hobkirk, 206 E. Main St., radio repair by Elwyn W. Ley, 105 S. Third Ave., and Top Hat car service, East Isaacs Avenue.
A person could catch a heat-conditioned Super-Coach from the Walla Walla Bus Depot at First and Poplar Streets and ride to Portland for $4.50, Spokane for $3.40, Los Angeles for $18.40 or San Francisco for $13.40.
Crescent Drug Co. at Main Street and Fourth Avenue, "Where Most Folks Buy their Drugs," had 25 Xmas greeting cards, all different, for 29 cents (or $4.25 in 2010).
Montgomery Ward at Third Avenue and Main Street had a three-day sports coat sale with reductions in price to as low as $11.88 (about $174 in current dollars). The weekend specials also offered men's suits for $9.88, boys oxfords for $2.19; milk cans for $1.97 and cotton hand-hooked rugs, 24 by 44 inches, for $1.69.
New York Store, then at 20 W. Main St., offered Clotheraft and London fashion suits for $16.50 and dress hats for $1.50, regularly $2.95 to $5.
And finally, Falkenberg's jewelers and silversmiths, Glimme & Cundiff, successors, at 42 E. Main St., advertised Hamilton wristwatches from $44 to $85.25 (the more expensive watch is worth $1,250 in 2010).
The ad copy urges, "Why not make your fondest wish come true this Christmas? Get yourself the Hamilton watch you have put off getting - too long, now!"
Its 1.2 million members makes Rotary International truly worldwide in scope. The service club's commitment is to "service above self" and members of its 34,000 clubs focus on making Earth a better place for everyone
Members of Walla Walla Sunrise Rotary hosted one of those global guests, fellow Rotarian Rampur Viswanath, who first heard about the service groups's efforts while a college freshman. The native of India received a grant to purchase books and once he learned about their international causes he became a lifelong devotee.
He and wife Treja settled in the Tri-Cities. He was a member of the Richland Rotary for 16 years and its president in 2004-2005.
The current Rotary District 5080 governor gave an inspiring talk to the Walla Walla group, said John McKern, publicity chairman.
District 5080 includes 61 clubs in Southeastern British Columbia, Canada, northern Idaho and Eastern Washington. Also attending the meeting on Nov. 9 was Mike Tuohy, assistant district governor for Walla Walla and the Tri-Cities.
Rampur has attended eight Rotary International conventions and encouraged Sunrise Rotarians to attend the next one in Bangkok, Thailand, in summer 2012. The 2012 District conference will be June 7-10 in the Richland Conference Center. Rampur recognized the efforts of the local group and spoke of Rotary's outstanding efforts like combating polio and providing drinking water projects in developing countries.
Abby VanderPlaat presides over Sunrise meetings as president. John said the group meets at 6:45 a.m. Wednesdays for breakfast at St. Francis Community Center, 722 W. Alder St.

Over three weeks in July, John and JeanAnn Mitchell of Milton-Freewater caught up with a former Rotary youth exchange student in Germany.
The couple shared trip highlights recently with Milton-Freewater Rotary Club members.
The Mitchells spent time with Peter Lubert, who hails from Berlin. They served as a host family for Peter when he attended school in our area in 2002-03. He's currently continuing his education and lives southwest of Berlin. The couple has also hosted other exchange students.
With Peter, the Mitchells toured art galleries, museums and historical sites. They also visited Brandenburg Gate and Checkpoint Charlie, the security gate between East and West Berlin. Only a portion of the Berlin Wall that divided the city during the Cold War still exists as a reminder.
The Mitchells walked along a cobblestone trail that replaced the rest of the wall. They visited Dresden, where 90 percent of the city center was destroyed in World War II during intense allied bombing in 1945. They marveled at reconstruction efforts as many of its historic buildings have been rebuilt.
They told Rotarians that events with Peter's family were especially rewarding, including many meals and trips to parks and scenic areas around the region.
Snow in mid-November didn't deter 30 students from Lincoln Alternative High School and the Walla Walla High School Latino Club from trekking to Pullman for the Utah-Washington State game as guests of the Washington State University athletic department.
Bundled against temps in the low 20s, the students watched the Cougars experience a 30-27 overtime loss to Utah. "There is nothing more rewarding than seeing high school students, for the first time, step foot on a college campus," said Gaby Salazar, a volunteer college counselor at Lincoln. "They show up not knowing what to expect, but once they get to see and talk to college representatives they light up."
Casey Fox, a Wa-Hi alum and WSU athletic marketing director, greeted the students and gave them a tour of Beasley Coliseum and Bohler Gym. Casey pointed out the importance and recognition of the WSU "brand," especially the WSU logo designed by WSC student Randall Johnson in 1937, which is currently one of the nation's most recognized school emblems.
"These visits help students realize that college is fun and exciting," Gaby said. "College visits help our students change their minds about just graduating from high school and joining the work force. Instead, they are to wanting to expand their education by attending Walla Walla Community College or a four-year university like WSU. Exploring Post 311 organized the trip, which received funds from Lincoln and the WA-HI Gear Up program.
The USS Tarawa Veterans Association is seeking mates who served aboard the USS Tarawa CV-40 and LHA-1 for the group's 23rd annual reunion April 19-22 in Nashville, Tenn.
The Essex-class aircraft carrier USS Tarawa CV-40 was commissioned Dec. 8, 1945, at the Norfolk Navy Yard in Virginia, according to the association's website.
It bore the name of an epic battle in the Tarawa Atoll of the Gilbert Islands in the central Pacific when U.S. Marines of the 2nd Division stormed ashore on Nov. 20, 1943, at Betio Island.
More than 200 ships stood off-shore, bombarding the strategic Japanese stronghold, disgorging troops and supplies. In a three-day operation, ashore and afloat, 2,000 American sailors and Marines gave their lives.
"Their sacrifice gave our forces a foothold in what became an island-hopping strategy that eventually led to the Japanese homeland. Five thousand of the enemy gave their lives in one of the bloodiest battles fought to that time in World War II's Pacific campaign," it notes at www.usstarawavets.org/TwoGreatShips.htm.
Contacts for membership and reunion details are Ken Underdown, president, 31 Islet Road, Levittown, PA, 19057, 215-547-0245; Walter Tothero, membership/treasurer, 106 N.

Lipscomb (6-10, 1-4 A-Sun)
Northern Kentucky (4-9, 2-3 A-Sun)
1/11/2013 | Highland Heights, Ky. | Attendance: 2891
Friday, January 11, 2013
HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – Having struggled with slow starts at time this season, the Lipscomb men's basketball team got off to a good start early but then faded quickly dropping a 67-53 decision to Atlantic Sun newcomer Northern Kentucky on Friday night from the Bank of Kentucky Center.
After the Bisons (6-10, 1-4 A-Sun) built the early lead 9-5 over the first four minutes of action, the Norse (4-9, 2-3 A-Sun) went on a 17-4 run making five-straight 3-pointers to put Lipscomb behind 22-13. The hot shooting continued for the Norse in the opening 20 minutes of action as Jack Flournoy and Tyler White each hit three treys as part of 10 for NKU.
"Defensively (allowing the 3-pointer) has been an issue for us," said Lipscomb head coach Scott Sanderson. "I thought the second half some of our guys guarded the way we have to guard with that kind of sense of urgency. They banked in a couple of threes but that stuff happens sometimes. In the first half, they got any shot they wanted but they scored 23 points in the second half. We've got to build off that second half."
The scoring woes continued for the Bisons in the second half as well as Lipscomb went the first 5:30 without a bucket allowing the Norse to go on a 9-0 run and take a 53-28 lead. Lipscomb would outscore NKU 25-23 in the final stanza holding the Norse to just eight baskets from the floor but the first-half deficit was too much to overcome.
With the Norse taking away the inside game in the paint and limiting Stephen Hurt to six points and four rebounds, the Bisons were unable to make NKU pay hitting only 3-of-16 from beyond the arch. NKU on the other hand shot 46 percent from deep making 13-of-28
"Eventually someone has got to jump up and make some shots," said Sanderson. "When you're not making shots it's extremely difficult to get the ball in to Stephen. It's extremely hard when he has three guys on him. We have not had a guy step up uncharacteristically and make some shots for us. If we don't, we won't see anything different defensively."
Sophomore forward Malcolm Smith led LU with 13 points just ahead of senior guard Deonte Alexander, who finished with 10.
Lipscomb won the rebound battle 33-32 led by junior guard Khion Sankey, who grabbed seven boards.
Flournoy and White each finished with a game-high 18 points as each made a quartet of 3-pointers.
Friday marked the first meeting between Lipscomb and Northern Kentucky since the 1971-72 season.
The Bisons continue A-Sun road action on Thursday with a 6:05 p.m. contest at Florida Gulf Coast in Ft. Myers, Fla.

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — All eyes this week will be on Hong Kong's protest march for democratic reform, with numbers expected to be swollen by Beijing's recent hardening stance towards the territory.
But how soon will Hong Kong have another gripe to take up with its sovereign as more alarms sound over a massive lending boom to mainland China?
This potential debt trap is increasingly on the radar of investors after a succession of cautionary comments from analysts and regulators about mainland-bound loans from Hong Kong-based banks.
The latest came from Moody's last week, as they reiterated an earlier warning about the risks in the rapid expansion of Hong Kong banks' lending to mainland Chinese entities. The exposure of Hong Kong to the mainland grew by 29% in 2013 to 2.3 trillion Hong Kong dollars ($297 billion), accounting for 20% of total banking assets, Moody's said.
This, they said, poses credit challenges as it increases banks' exposures to China's economic and financial vulnerabilities, as well as pressuring some of the banks' liquidity profiles and capitalization levels.
Both the International Monetary Fund and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority have also recently flagged similar concerns about the wall of money Hong Kong was sending into a slowing and fragile-looking Chinese economy.
Earlier this year, brokerage Jefferies described a "parabolic" rise in lending to mainland China, which it saw as a looming problem for Hong Kong. From almost zero in 2009, this lending has reached 150% of Hong Kong's GDP.
This surge illustrates that we are talking about a relatively new phenomenon which has coincided with massive quantitative easing by the world's top central banks, along with a series of measures by China to internationalize its currency USDCNY, +0.0016% This also means that assessing the level of risk when these two very different financial systems come together puts us in somewhat unchartered territory.
What we do know is Hong Kong's lending is by far the largest. Earlier this month, Fitch Ratings calculated that Hong Kong's exposure to the mainland had reached $798 billion. This compared to a total of $400 billion for banks elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region — mainly Australia, Japan, Macau, Taiwan and Singapore.
After 65 years, Chinese official walks on Taiwanese soil
For the first time in 65 years, a Chinese government official is visiting Taiwan, a self-ruled island that Beijing considers to be a renegade province.
As well as concern's over China's stumbling economy impacting the loan portfolios, there's potential contagion from a variety of ills in China's domestic banking system.
There has long been skepticism about credit quality in China, particularly given the practice of rolling over problematic loans. In the past year or so, meanwhile, the explosion in shadow banking and wealth-management products has added a whole new layer of risk.
And in recent weeks, the market has been spooked by revelations about malpractice where metals have been used as lending collateral, metals which either did not exist or had been double-counted by various parties.
Taken together, the lasting impression is that lending in China should not be for the feint-hearted.
Yet, for all the scare stories about these Wild West banking practices, there is always a reassuring reply: the Beijing put. There is a widely held belief that, for China's state banks at least, the government can backstop any losses.

Is it just Lego PotC? How long's it been happening? How old is your Wii
In my experience, the Wii freezing in how you've described (it's happened to me a few times) is an internal error of sorts, characterized by the console being unresponsive to any and all input. Could be a problem with the game itself, be it the disc is improperly made, or scratched. On the contrary, the Wii could be malfunctioning from age, or it isn't programmed as good as it should be.

ETE: a python Environment for Tree Exploration
1 Comparative Genomics group, Bioinformatics and Genomics Programme, Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), Dr. Aiguader, 88 08003 Barcelona, Spain
2 Bioinformatics Department, Centro de Investigación Príncipe Felipe, València, Spain
BMC Bioinformatics 2010, 11:24 doi:10.1186/1471-2105-11-24Published: 13 January 2010
Many bioinformatics analyses, ranging from gene clustering to phylogenetics, produce hierarchical trees as their main result. These are used to represent the relationships among different biological entities, thus facilitating their analysis and interpretation. A number of standalone programs are available that focus on tree visualization or that perform specific analyses on them. However, such applications are rarely suitable for large-scale surveys, in which a higher level of automation is required. Currently, many genome-wide analyses rely on tree-like data representation and hence there is a growing need for scalable tools to handle tree structures at large scale.
Here we present the Environment for Tree Exploration (ETE), a python programming toolkit that assists in the automated manipulation, analysis and visualization of hierarchical trees. ETE libraries provide a broad set of tree handling options as well as specific methods to analyze phylogenetic and clustering trees. Among other features, ETE allows for the independent analysis of tree partitions, has support for the extended newick format, provides an integrated node annotation system and permits to link trees to external data such as multiple sequence alignments or numerical arrays. In addition, ETE implements a number of built-in analytical tools, including phylogeny-based orthology prediction and cluster validation techniques. Finally, ETE's programmable tree drawing engine can be used to automate the graphical rendering of trees with customized node-specific visualizations.
ETE provides a complete set of methods to manipulate tree data structures that extends current functionality in other bioinformatic toolkits of a more general purpose. ETE is free software and can be downloaded from http://ete.cgenomics.org webcite.

More than 1,400 students participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame's "Get Fit Hall of Fame Training Camp" at Canton's historic Fawcett Stadium. The program was created and developed as part of the Hall's Educational Outreach Program.
In all, 1,441 students, grades kindergarten through eighth, took part in the camp. Individual sessions were offered each day from Monday through Friday. The students, along with 180 teachers and chaperones, represented 19 schools for the annual event.
As he has done in the past, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch took part in the "Get Fit Hall of Fame Training Camp." He brought 92 kids from his "Best of the Batch" organization on Monday.
The camp was facilitated by Jon Laird, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Education Advisory Panel. He was aided by coaches and players from two area college football teams, Malone University (Monday and Tuesday); and Walsh University (Wednesday-Friday).
Fawcett Stadium is home to the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony and the NFL/Hall of Fame Game. On Saturday, Aug. 6, the Class of 2011 – Richard Dent, Marshall Faulk, Chris Hanburger, Les Richter, Ed Sabol, Deion Sanders, and Shannon Sharpe – will be formally enshrined.

POTSDAM - Drafty conditions in off-campus apartments can drive up energy bills and chill Clarkson University students winters.
A group of Clarkson students are hosting a forum to discuss making those apartments more comfortable, reducing energy consumption and helping the environment.
The Saving Energy Makes Cent$: Students and Property Owners Reducing Energy Use forum at 6:30 p.m. Monday in the Student Center Multi-purpose Rooms will offer tips on how students and landlords can work together to make small improvements in their apartments, like installing plastic window seals and high efficiency light bulbs. The goal of the forum is to develop a strategy for implementing those improvements at rental properties across Potsdam.
We really wanted to do something that would affect the behavior of the students where it will have a lasting impression on them after they leave Clarkson, says Joseph Robbins 15, one of the forum co-organizers.
Students, landlords, and Potsdam community members are all invited to attend. A panel consisting of energy auditor Gerald Loch, School of Business Professor and landlord Marc Compeau, student renter Matt Desmarais, and Political Science Professor Stephen Bird will discuss obstacles to energy efficiency in student housing and answer questions from the attendees.
Gregory Pedric 76, a project manager for the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), is the keynote speaker.
Forum discussion will hopefully lead to a strategy for community-wide implementation of free energy audits in rental properties, as nearly 1,000 of Potsdams homes are more than 70 years old and could benefit from upgrades, Robbins says.
Clarkson is a residential campus, although a number of students, including older and married students, or those living in Greek housing, reside off campus.
Robbins and Emma Dixon 15 are ambassadors for Focus the Nation, a national not-for-profit group that aims to empower college students nationwide to lead more energy efficient lives. Each student has received several months of training from Focus the Nation in preparation for Monday nights Forums-To-Action program.
The two are also part of Clarksons Synergy Club, which completes projects to make the Clarkson community more environmentally friendly. Simultaneously tackling off-campus student housing and energy efficiency has been rewarding, Dixon said.
There are a lot of people that dont know the small things you can do to make your energy bill smaller, Dixon said. Small improvements can make the house better in general.

Donna Scalfaro owns a carpet cleaning business, and Allie Balling is the proud proprietor of a brand new marketing company.
But as different as their industries are, Balling says she'd be lost without Scalfaro's advice.
"Donna's been a great inspiration for me, she's really helped me from beginning to end with my business plan," said Balling.
Scalfaro is Allie's mentor through University at Buffalo's Minority and Women Emerging Entrepreneurs (MWEE) program.
"When I first was called to ask if I'd participate in the program as a coach, my feeling was, how can I really help somebody, I'm still learning, because I'm so new," said Scalfaro.
Both women made mid-career decisions to take the plunge and become small business owners. For both women, starting new companies in a down economy had its challenges.
Scalfaro and Balling have been working together since March, putting together Balling's business plan, helping her get aquainted with the financial end of running a business. The program required them to get together just one hour a month.
"Towards the end I was calling her every other day!" said Balling. "She was really patient, and really kept me on track on what I needed to be focused on."
"I've really enjoyed watching the whole plan come into place, I've really enjoyed watching Allie get information and know how to proceed forward. It's been really rewarding for me," said Scalfaro.
Scalfaro now has a full client list, as well as a life-long mentor and friend.
"She struggles maybe sometimes with the things I struggle with, so it makes me feel like, ok, well, I'm not crazy, I'm not, you know, everyone goes through this process, and everyone feels this way," said Balling.
And for this Buffalo transplant who came to Western New York from Atlanta just a year and half ago-- Scalfaro is one in a city full of good neighbors.
"Buffalo's been very gracious to me and my business, so I'm very lucky to be here, and it couldn't be any better," said Balling.

LEXIN infrared Sauna panels
Warming the human body with far infrared radiation is a very pleasant way to generate perspiration.
The difference between LEXIN's biogenetic far-infrared sauna and a traditional high temperature sauna is that LEXIN's waves quickly warm the upper skin tissue without the danger of overheating or burning.
Because with LEXIN the air temperature is lower, the cabin's relative humidity remains the same, allowing the body to sweat while feeling relaxed, not hot. Although the air temperature remains pleasantly low, like the traditional sauna, it is perfectly suited for "Passive Fitness Training" by stimulating the skin's blood circulation.It also opens the pores, detoxifies and aids in the healing processes for those inflicted with various illnesses. LEXIN's "deep-infrared warmth" does not only warm the skin; it penetrates up to 4 mm deep into the tissue. This caused heavy perspiration, which in turn cleanses the body from the inside out. The analysis of sweat produced when exposed to a far-infrared sauna showed that in by "deep-infrared warmth" one does not only perspire water, but that toxic materials that are normally stored in body-fat, were also removed.
These include cadmium, lead and nickel.The biogenetic far-infrared waves produced by the LEXIN panels, causes the water molecules in the human body to resonate, thereby changing the consistency of the bodily fluids and their velocity; hence there is increased flow. This supports the rejection of harmful pollutants and "free radicals".This resonance of water molecules also causes the deposits in the blood vessels to dissolve, allowing for more oxygen to be supplied to areas with poor blood circulation.
Sports Physicians, for instance, often recommend that football
players spend some time in an infrared sauna before a match, to allow
the increased blood-flow to strengthen their joints. Studies confirm
that using an Infrared Sauna, rather than a traditional or of Finnish
Sauna, following sports or other physical activities allows the body to
shed more toxins!
One should not spend more than 30 minutes at a time in an Infrared
Sauna. After perspiring, it is best to take a lukewarm shower.
You too can enjoy an innovative, soothing sanctuary that promotes fitness and health for the body, spirit and soul.

The WNT-signaling pathway plays a major role during mammalian embryogenesis. We report a novel autosomal-recessive syndrome that consists of female to male sex reversal and renal, adrenal, and lung dysgenesis and is associated with additional developmental defects. Using a candidate-gene approach, we identified a disease-causing homozygous missense mutation in the human WNT4 gene. The mutation was found to result in markedly reduced WNT4 mRNA levels in vivo and in vitro and to downregulate WNT4-dependent inhibition of beta-catenin degradation. Taken together with previous observations in animal models, the present data attribute a pivotal role to WNT4 signaling during organogenesis in humans.

The mascots for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London were revealed recently and, just like the games' official logo, they have drawn some attention for looking rather inappropriate. And while the 2012 logo looks like Lisa Simpson giving brother Bart a good old slobjob, people are saying the new mascots, which are supposed to be drops of steel (because that makes so much sense!), look like a giant penis.
I would like to reassure you all that my penis does NOT look like that, but I can see how some people might consider the new mascot to be one giant "penis-cyclops-wearing-a-crown" looking thing. Personally, I think it's hilarious. After all, there's nothing more internationally funny that a good old penis joke. Good work Olympics, good work.

Bigfoot Found! (or at least my PHP editor{s?})
After reading Dan Pearce's harrowing account of his Bigfoot sighting I was alsook page">Dan Pearce's harrowing account of his Bigfoot sighting I was reinvigorated to try and seek out the best PHP IDE for me.
I tried updated versions of Aptana, NuSphere's PHPED, and the brand new WeBuilder 2014 (greatly improved I must add).
Then some developers who shall remain nameless (basically because I can't remember their names) turned me on to JetBrains PHPStorm. Needless to say I was skeptical, especially because it was written in Java (not the biggest fan). It took some getting used to, a.k.a a learning curve. Not everything, especially the key commands, worked as I expected it to. However, after a few weeks of forcing myself to use it I got more excited about it.
In keeping with my previous post on why I was looking here's the criteria it met, and some great new things:
- Syntax Coloring – It comes with a ton of themes out of the box (or off the net). It allows you to customize them and save them with a different name to make your own. Also, there's a great community and people have created a number of themes.
- Code Completion (a.k.a Intellisense) – this is the best I've found. Not only does it do PHP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS but you can add external libraries that you use to it. For me that means downloading the development version of jQuery and putting it in the external libs in my project, and getting full intellisense support. Works for lots of other plug-in type things.
- HTML/CSS Code completion – perfect on everything I've thrown at it.
- Code Folding – This is great, and even has keyboard shortcuts for various things (like fold all).
- Integrated FTP sync. – This is called "deployment" in the editor and can be set up a number of ways, although I haven't quite figured them out. I've got it working for a Sync all, up/down and compare files. Does pretty good.
- Code Snippets Library – I find I need this less and less so I'm removing it. Although it does have it.
New Stuff:
- Code Explorer – I've see this in a few other editors but didn't figure it out until this one. Works great, takes me to any function I'm using, even when I'm looking "in files".
- Path in tabs – When you open a file you can trace it back via a little bar above the tabs for the file. Helpful as it always has the root directory so you can make sure you know where you're using the relative path's correctly.
- Move lines up and down – Ctrl-Shift-<up arrow>
- Last edit location – Ctrl-Shift-<backspace> takes you the last "area" of coding you were in. So helpful.
- SCM Integration – They got the usual's SVN, CVS, Git. But they also have to my shock a plugin that gives you Microsoft Team Foundation Server capabilities. May not be important to everybody but I do a lot of work in Microsoft Shops and it's standard there.
I'd ramble on and on but likely I've found my editor. A personal license is $99 USD not too steep but not the cheapest either. Worth it to me.
P.S. I'm forcing myself to learn the new kid on the block Sublime Text simply to see if it's got the same things I need. It's very popular so that makes me want to try it out. Pretty good so far but the FTP thing is really awkward. The code snippets things is really cool though.
Well now that we know there IS a Bigfoot, I can't wait to hang out with him… looks like he lives in some pretty country.

America Deserves Answers on the Obama Administration's Decision to Outsource the Next Generation of Light Attack Aircraft
Outsourcing national defense.
December 30, 2011 - 9:01 am
Kansas Congressman Tim Huelskamp, who serves on the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, lambasted the Obama administration's decision in a statement issued December 27:
"It is simply wrong for the Obama Administration to hire a Brazilian company to handle national security when we have a qualified and competent American company that can do the job," Congressman Huelskamp said. "With millions of Americans out of work, it makes no sense to award the work to a foreign company. Along with my colleagues in the Kansas delegation, I will continue to attempt to right this wrong in order to preserve America's national and economic security interests."
The editorial board of the Wichita Eagle, the Taxpayer Protection Alliance, Women Impacting Public Policy, and others have come out questioning the Air Force's decision.
Given President Obama's rhetoric against American companies that outsource jobs overseas, the decision to outsource the next generation of US light attack aircraft to a questionable overseas company is curious, to say the least. The administration's rough treatment of Hawker Beechcraft may well have a political dimension, as the company is well known for manufacturing high performance business jets. The president has sharply criticized "corporate jet owners" on several occasions. Additionally, Embraer boasts of its attention to "environmental sustainability," which may have helped boost its profile with the administration that brought us the boondoggle known as Solyndra.
The LAS contract is worth between $1 billion and $1.5 billion.

Inside Politics with Michael Wilkinson: PM David Cameron's visit to Gloucester squeezed of compassion
Posted: February 19, 2014|
Each week, public affairs reporter Mike Wilkinson takes an alternative stroll down the corridors of power.
At the weekend I brushed off my wellies and went for a jolly good walk up Cleeve Hill. They weren't going to win any awards in the fashion stakes but they did the job nicely. It did make me ponder the rise of the welly in recent days, what with Prime Minister David Cameron and his rivals Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg sporting them as they took to Britain's flood-hit areas.
David Cameron's are of the sturdy variety. I'm sure they cost a fair bit if his £90 haircuts are anything to go by. But then he's going to need a good pair as he vows to visit all of the communities that have been flooded.
On Monday it was our turn to receive a visit from the PM. To an unwitting observer, Cameron met with embattled residents of Longford at the Queen's Head pub before heading to disaster HQ in Waterwells to meet officials.
But the reality of the visit was that the PM only spoke to an invited, private party at the Longford boozer.
One resident said: "My friend who is one of the worst affected out at Sandhurst rang to ask if I'd go to the meeting on her behalf as she and the others weren't able to attend as they are flooded in. When I went along, it was 'named officers only'.
"However, they were good enough to let me speak to the PM on his way in. So, I was able to put my friend's case , and those of others. He told me he'd look into it, so we'll wait and see. So, no, it wasn't open to 'the residents' as such."
You can't help but feel that there is something slightly detached about it all. Political leaders worry so much about being caught out on camera with an angry residents that the whole charade is media managed to death and any hint of compassion is squeezed out.
At least the Royals have got it right. Princes William and Harry mucked in filling sandbags and Prince Charles spoke passionately about the situation.
I'm not saying we should go to the lengths of what they do in the USA, with politicians hugging weeping locals, but could the PM's visit to Gloucester have been a little less controlled by bright, young PR gurus and a little more heartfelt?
Still, it must be keeping welly manufacturers in business.

The Church was affected in largely positive ways by the Age of Discovery, as it found itself confronted, for the first time in many centuries, with whole societies of people who had never heard of Christ. Henceforth modern Christianity would be characterized, increasingly, by a global perspective. Originally there was debate as to whether the "Indians" and others should be considered human beings, but very quickly Church authorities decreed that they were and that therefore they ought to be evangelized.
Especially in the Far East, the new discoveries posed a long-term challenge to the Church, in that the missionaries found themselves confronting very ancient, very sophisticated civilizations which could not simply be treated as primitive. Here, especially in the person of certain Jesuits, the Church for the first time in centuries confronted the issue which would later be called "inculturation" -- how the Gospel can be incarnated in a culture very different from that of the West.
At the same time these missionaries never lost sight of the fact that they were preaching the one true faith. In later centuries, however, that issue became a key one for modernist Christians, who would draw the conclusion that non-Christian religions must be treated as paths to God equally as valid with Christianity itself.
The great blow to the Church at the beginning of modern times was of course the Protestant Reformation, which split the unity of Christendom for all times and destroyed the Church's authority in half of Europe. For a generation the Church reeled under a series of blows and appeared unable to resist. Then, beginning around 1540, the Counter-Reformation (now often called the Catholic Reformation) began, regaining some of the territory which the Church had lost, not just in geographical terms but in terms of authority and credibility.
Although sometimes thought of as the preservation of the Middle Ages, the Catholic Reformation was in fact a new, distinctively modern chapter in the history of the Church, in such things as "radical" conceptions of religious life (the Jesuits) and systematic programs of catechizing and evangelizing in ways never before attempted, and a daring new style of religious art -- the Baroque.
The spirit of the Catholic Reformation came to be thought of as one of stern orthodoxy and morality, deep personal piety, and obedience to Church authority. This revival was profoundly successful, and it gave the modern Church the form in which it continued until around 1960.
Both the Age of Discovery and the Protestant Reformation brought the Church into the modern world in the sense that both phenomena forced Catholics to see their Church in the context of other faiths, to be able to affirm their beliefs in the face of doubt.
Despite the Galileo case and other such incidents, the Scientific Revolution posed no serious threat to the Church, except insofar as it gave rise to the tendency to exalt scientific knowledge above all other kinds, the full implications of which were not realized for over a century.

NFL notes: Broncos' Welker hoping to play against Patriots
Wes Welker returned to practice Thursday for the first time since leaving Sunday's game against Kansas City with a concussion.
Also back in action was tight end Julius Thomas (right knee). Both were limited as the Broncos (9-1) practiced in snowy, 20-degree weather, which interim head coach Jack Del Rio called a "blessing" as his team prepares for Sunday's game at chilly New England (7-3).
Welker, who passed his baseline concussion test earlier in the week, wasn't allowed any contact work. He'll get to do that Friday if all goes well.
He said he's hopeful he'll be able to play against his former team.
"I want to be out there," Welker said. "I mean, there are not too many games I've missed in my whole career and I love playing the game, especially in big atmospheres like this. So, I'm doing everything possible in my power to make sure that I get the opportunity to play in a game like this."
Welker, who spent six seasons as Tom Brady's bull's-eye in New England before signing a two-year, $12 million deal with Denver in the offseason, leads the Broncos with 61 receptions and has already tied his career high with nine TD catches from Peyton Manning.
Welker said it'll be strange playing in New England as a visitor for the first time since Oct. 8, 2006, when he was with the Miami Dolphins.
"But it's another game, another field. It's still the same size and everything else," Welker said. "I'm familiar with it, so that's an advantage for sure."
Jones: Garrett will be Cowboys coach in '14
Jason Garrett will start the stretch run in pursuit of his first trip to the playoffs on the same field where he debuted as coach of the Dallas Cowboys three years ago.
His job doesn't depend on whether he gets that postseason berth. At least that's what owner Jerry Jones said Thursday.
While saying he was "disappointed" in a 5-5 record that has dropped the Cowboys out of the top spot in the NFC East for the first time this season, Jones said Garrett will return in 2014 regardless of whether the Cowboys end their three-year playoff drought.
Asked if Garrett would be his coach next year, Jones twice said yes.
Incognito agrees to postpone grievance
Richie Incognito agreed to postpone his grievance hearing challenging his suspension by the Miami Dolphins until the NFL completes its investigation into the team's bullying scandal.
The hearing had been scheduled for Thursday.
The Dolphins released a statement, saying Incognito is cooperating fully and will meet with the league's special investigator, Ted Wells.
Tackle Jonathan Martin alleges he was harassed daily by teammates, including Incognito. Martin left the team Oct. 28, and Incognito was suspended Nov. 3.
Wells met Friday with Martin and has been interviewing Dolphins players, coaches and staff this week. The NFL hasn't said how long his investigation is expected to take.

Vacationrentalpeople.com's guide. East Maui is the island's lush green-covered side, and great for a East Maui vacation rental home, full of waterfalls and rainforests and panoramic views, a place which takes you back in time and away from the masses, but mostly known for one thing, the dramatic and magnificent road from the main city of Kahului to the small traditional town of Hana.
Kahului is the location of Maui's major airport and is the retail center for local Maui residents with several major department stores, but it is not really a tourist attraction apart from the Alexander and Baldwin Sugar Museum and Maui's Arts and Cultural Center. However, it is the starting point for the famous Hana Heighway and a great place to book up a East Maui vacation rental home.
This winding coastal road is 52 miles long and goes through vibrant rainforests, gushing waterfalls, one lane quaint bridges, and many unbelievable vistas and sweeping ocean views which are simply begging to be photographed. This drive is one you can do a few times over, and it's actually worth booking up an East Maui vacation rental home purely to do this incredible journey.
Hana itself is a tiny and remote community-town engulfed in and surrounded by green pastures, but it has several points of interest; the Pi'ilani Temple, constructed in the C15th and Hawaii's largest temple; Kahanu Gardens, a 290 acre botanical garden filled with native plants and focusing on breadfruit; the Kaia Ranch Tropical Botanical Gardens, a smaller collection of plants but which also includes tropical fruit; and finally, Wai'anapanapa State Park, a park full of glistening streams and sparkling fresh water pools with camping facilities.
There are several beaches near yuor East Maui vacation rental home: Hana Beach Park is a beautiful and secluded spot with choppy waves which make for good body-boarding and surfing conditions; Koki Beach has a unique mixture of red, white, and black sand but is not suitable for swimming due to very strong alongshore currents, although it has a great shaded grassy area ideal for picnics; Kaihalulu Beach, is a stunning and unique red sand beach that has been cited as being the most beautiful beach in the Pacific, and which is protected from the big waves by an offshore reef, but is a little inaccessible due to the sometimes perilous hike along the coast to get to it; Waianapanapa Beach, is another spectacular and distinctive beach, volcanic black sand surrounded by black lava rock face and lush green foliage, and this is a good place for swimming and snorkeling.
You can also visit Haleakala Volcano from your East Maui vacation rental home, a huge shield volcano which actually forms most of the island, peaks at over 10,000 feet, and is surrounded by the Haleakala National Park. This is almost 30,000 acres big, most of which are pure wilderness and otherworldly deserts thaty are best viewed on horseback, and the more tropical landscape which is to be found nearer the bottom and closer to the coast. There are several hiking trails with scenic vistas which go past bamboo forests and gushing streams, three visitor centers, and it also includes the Kipahulu Valley and the beautiful Pools of Oheo, natural tiered pools fed by a series of waterfalls. You can also hike along the Pipiwai Trail to reach the Waimoku Falls, 400 feet high, and then take an unforgettable boardwalk trip through a dense bamboo forest. Al, near your East Maui vacation rental home.
East Maui is spectacular and scenic, a natural landscape which will stay with you forever, and it's yet another must-see place on the incredible islands of Hawaii.

Our family will be hosting a graduation party for our niece in about a month. I got a jump start on decorations by creating this giant "M" for her. (The initial represents her high school--this monogram was copied directly from the school website and used. Feel free to use your school's monogram by searching the school's website or by using the initials alone...)
Taylor's school colors are blue and white. So I took the liberty of tinting all of her senior pictures blue, and printed them out. This project took about 35 photos (but M is a larger letter. An "I" would take much less, for example.) When I printed them, I elected a black edge and matte finish (I use Costco. LOVE.) Normally, I'd never recommend using a wet glue on photos. But for this project, I highly recommend it because I have no intention of reusing the pictures, so insuring the archival quality of them isn't important.
The banner was created using posterboard. I free-handed it, and outlined the edges with a black sharpie. I was torn about what to write on the banner, and have elected to make a pennant banner to hang above this (look for another blog post on this one), which will state the word "Congratulations!" I did use the Cricut to cut out the letters. I need to find a way to work in the "Class of 2012" as well. Still a work in progress...
For more information on how to create the letters, check the original blog post on them here.
Now, for those of you who have a limited imagination, I want to offer a few suggestions. Short on photos? Try using their own pictures that have been posted on their social media (Facebook or Instagram are perfect for this project!) Simply right click on the photo and save it to your computer! Why not use "2012" instead of the school's monogram? I love the project because it makes a big impact for a little cash. Total cost of the project was about $15.
Feel free to post any questions--I'll be sure to answer!
Enjoy your day!
