There are two ways to use "here documents" with bash to fill stdin:
The following example shows use with the "bc" command.
a) Using a delimiter at the end of data:
less-than less-than eeooff bc
> k=1024
> m=k*k
> g=k*m
> g
> eeooff
b) using the "inline" verion with three less-than symbols:
less-than less-than less-than "k=1024; m=k*k; g=k*m; g" bc
One nice advantage of using the triple less-than version is that the command can easily be recalled
from command line history and re-executed.
PS: in this "description", I had to use the name "less-than" to represent the less-than symbol because the commandlinefu input text box seems to eat up the real less-than symbols. Odd.
There are 3 alternatives - vote for the best!
Don't do this:
echo word | command
Using a bash "here strings" and "here documents" look leeter than piping echo into the command. Also prevents subshell execution. Word is also expanded as usual.
If you can do better, submit your command here.
Why not simply use echo?
echo "k=1024; m=k*k; g=k*m; g" | bc
I think it's easier to understand, and it's more portable (works with any bourne shell, not just bash and zsh).
The point is to show the use of the "
Sure, echo is an alternative but it means you have to use a pipe.
I am here on commandlinefu to learn *new* things.
eh? that's odd: what happened to the three less-than symbols in my previous comment? Some odd character handing in the text input box for commandlinefu?
It would also be nice to be able to edit comments (eg for spelling correctione etc).
What is the "three less-thans" operation actually called? I can't figure it out, and it's not in the TLDP guide!
The "three-less-thans" operator is called a Here String in the bash man page. See also chapter 19.1 of the Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide in the TLDP.

Cal Women's Basketball Inks Becky Staubes
Related Links
April 29, 1999
BERKELEY - Becky Staubes, a 5-10 point guard from San Diego Mesa College, has signed a national letter of intent to play basketball at Cal beginning with the 1999-2000 season, head coach Marianne Stanley announced today.
"We're thrilled to have Becky join our basketball program," said Stanley. "She has demonstrated a positive, winning attitude in a very successful junior college program."
"Becky brings much needed poise, depth and leadership to the point guard position. We're expecting her to contribute immediately. She's an excellent floor leader, who can score from the perimeter or by taking the ball to the basket."
Staubes is coming off an outstanding junior college sophomore season. The San Diego native was selected Pacific Coast Conference MVP after leading her team to a 23-7 record, averaging a team-best 15.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 3.6 steals per game. Staubes also earned second team all-state and played in the California junior college All-Star game, along with her future teammate Nicole Ybarra (Sacramento City College).
In two seasons with Staubes as its floor leader, Mesa College posted a combined 50-11 record and won two conference championships. Over those two seasons, Staubes averaged 14.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 3.1 steals per game. She was selected first team all-conference both years.
Prior to attending Mesa College, Staubes finished a stellar basketball career at Scripps Ranch High School in San Diego, where she was named first team all-league and second team All-CIF as a senior. She attended El Cajon Valley High School for three years before transferring to Scripps Ranch.
"Overall, Cal was an excellent basketball and academic decision, " said Staubes. "The Cal basketball program is on the rise. Coach Stanley and her staff have a great reputation. I look forward to contributing to the team's future success."
Staubes is the fourth player to sign with the Golden Bears for next season. She joins 5-8 point guard Nicole Ybarra (Elk Grove, CA/Sacramento City College), 6-3 center Genevieve Swedor (Auvernier, Switzerland/New Mexico Junior College) and 6-0 guard/forward Amber White (Harbor City, CA/Narbonne High School).

I raced CSP Table Mountain, which is a training crit, so not sure if this counts. It was as expected fast slow, fast slow. I held on until the second to last lap, which I thought was the last lap. There was a massive acceleration on that last lap though, so I doubt I could have hung on anyway. Finished about half a lap behind the big group. Course is great, wide, easy corners. Everyone was extremely friendly, I got tons of advice, learned a lot, and didn't cause any crashes. I was very careful and stuck to the back 1/3rd of the group and on the outside. I made sure to stay behind wheels, not next to them (that's overlapping right?). A much more detailed account can be found here.
And that's the one thing I wished I learned better, what exactly is overlapping?

I've just finished a marathon session of reading all the way through Steve Jobs on my iPad — and I'm sure Jobs would have appreciated the odd harmony of people reading his life story on a device he helped create.
After reading his biography, I'm no longer convinced that Steve Jobs would have liked me if we'd ever met in person. At least not at first. More likely, he'd have torn me a new one in our first meeting and told me that I sucked and everything I did was worthless. Then, in our second meeting, he'd have parroted my ideas back at me as though they were his own. It was apparently one of his signature moves, and it probably would have made me want to throw a chair at him.
But even if I had been provoked that far, he most likely would have just bellowed that I should have thrown a better chair.
Reading biographies is perhaps a different experience for me than it is for most people, since I spent most of my Master's thesis examining the concept of truth in biographical works. Most of the memoirs, autobiographies, and biographies I've read have fallen into one of two categories. Either the text was something designed to lionize its subject and make him or her seem larger than life, or else the writer had taken pains to focus on only the parts of the subject's life that fit into a clean narrative arc while leaving everything else on the cutting room floor, an approach that leads to easy and almost cinematic storytelling but leaves out much of the facts.
Neither approach to biographical writing strikes me as particularly true; in fact, almost every biography I've read seems to contain about as much actual truth as an episode of Star Trek. The tendency to over-praise or over-dramatize is both pernicious and pervasive throughout the various forms of biographical texts.
Walter Isaacson's 656-page profile of Steve Jobs falls in neither category. It is quite possibly the truest biography I've ever read. In the process of telling the unvarnished truth about Steve Jobs, it dispels much of the myth and magic surrounding the man and his legacy. It does not depict Steve Jobs as the information age's equivalent of Moses descending from Mount Sinai with an iPad in each hand. It would have been easy for some misinformed hack to portray Jobs that way in a quick cash-in "unauthorized" biography soon after Jobs's death, but it also would have been closer to fiction than biography.
What Isaacson gives us instead is a portrait of a man with keen insight, brilliant powers of observation, and a stubborn determination to "put a dent in the universe." However, the biography also depicts a man with deep flaws, some of which arguably contributed to his early death. It humanizes a man who's spent much of the past decade as a living legend in multiple arenas, and it gives valuable insight into the person Steve Jobs was, not just the icon he became.
After reading his biography, I get the sense that no matter how brilliant Steve Jobs was or how many fundamental shifts in our landscape he spearheaded, in the end, he was as human as the rest of us. It's a testament to Isaacson's skill as a biographer that readers can at last obtain the picture of Steve Jobs as a human being rather than a legend.
Jobs's reputation as a control freak was legendary, yet he relinquished all control over the contents of his biography. It's a surprising move from a man who insisted on so much control over all of his life's projects — the Mac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad were all born and thrived partially because Jobs refused to cede control over them. Jobs explained his motivations to Isaacson for his atypically hands-off approach to the biography. Partially it was because he wanted his children to know him better, flaws and all. It was also because he wanted to make sure that only someone possessed of all the facts about his life would write his story. "When I got sick, I realized other people would write about me if I died, and they wouldn't know anything. They'd get it all wrong. So I wanted to make sure someone heard what I had to say."
Jobs's biography manages to allow him to get the last word in many debates. Many of the people who have toasted both him and his achievements will find themselves bearing the brunt of his last barbs against them. Some, like Jobs threatening to go "thermonuclear" on Android, have already been outed. Others are a bit more deeply buried within the text, but once found they're both candid and a bit stunning.
"IBM was essentially Microsoft at its worst," Jobs said, reminiscing about the early days of the personal computer revolution. "They were not a force for innovation; they were a force for evil. They were like AT&T or Microsoft or Google is." My jaw dropped at this quote, but another later on in the book was more alarming. Immediately after heaping praise on his successor, Tim Cook, Steve said, "Tim's not a product person, per se." Considering that at many other points in the book Jobs heaped scorn on people like Bill Gates or John Sculley whom he also considered more concerned with profits than product quality, his unfiltered opinion of Cook's product sensibilities definitely raised an eyebrow.
Much of the biography will be familiar to hardcore Apple enthusiasts. Chapters on the birth of the Macintosh will be familiar to anyone who's read Andy Hertzfeld's recollections at folklore.org, and if you're a regular TUAW reader there won't be too much in the chapters about the iPod, iPhone, or iPad that you haven't already read. Older Apple fans will likely find the earliest chapters about the founding days of Apple not much more than a refresher course. But I suspect that few people will be able to read the entire book and not discover some surprising fact about Steve Jobs that they didn't already know.
If you come into Steve Jobs already hating him, the biography gives you plenty of reasons to hold onto that opinion. If instead you view Jobs as a personal hero, there are plenty of episodes within his life story that might make you reconsider that opinion. Isaacson doesn't shy away from describing Steve Jobs's darker moments or personality deficiencies, some of which border on the downright despicable. To put it lightly, Steve Jobs was not a "people person."
One of his ex-girlfriends read about Narcissistic Personality Disorder in the DSM and said, "It fits so well and explained so much of what we had struggled with, that I realized expecting him to be nicer or less self-centered was like expecting a blind man to see." Even his closest friends, like Apple design guru Jonathan Ive, noted that Jobs often exhibited a vicious and unnecessary lack of empathy for those around him. The fact that so many people all over the world have been lauding him since his death, both friends and dogged competitors, speaks to the complex and paradoxical nature of Steve Jobs, a man whose greatest goal was to establish empathy between people and technology but who often displayed precious little empathy of his own.
Isaacson's biography of Jobs isn't a character assassination by any means (though I do wonder why the first third of the book dwells so often on Jobs's body odor during the 1970s). That said, I still feel terrifically sorry for any employees who find themselves at the mercy of a supervisor who uses Steve Jobs as a managerial handbook, just like the legions of young would-be entrepreneurs trying to emulate the callous Mark Zuckerberg they saw in The Social Network.
If anyone comes away from reading Steve Jobs thinking that being a leader makes it okay to be an asshole, they'll have missed about 99 percent of the point. Anyone can cut an employee to shreds or throw epic temper tantrums at the slightest provocation, but replicating Jobs's intuition, perfectionism, dedication, and vision is arguably something that only one person in seven billion can manage to pull off.
Steve Jobs is at its core the study of the man himself, but along the way it's also a fascinating history of the genesis, near-death, and resurgence of Apple. It also describes the birth, near-death, and ascendancy of Pixar, with fascinating details I've never read before. As the book follows Jobs through the personal computer revolution, the birth of the Macintosh, his "wilderness years" at NeXT and Pixar, and his return to Apple and subsequent paving over of the landscape for the music industry, cell phones, and tablet computing, Steve Jobs's biography also offers incredibly detailed insights into how our world shifted from the hobbyist computing era of the mid-'70s to the ubiquitous techscape we live in today. Steve Jobs didn't enact any of these revolutionary changes singlehandedly — his biography takes pains to make that clear — but he was most assuredly at or near the center of all of them.
Though the book makes his flaws obvious to readers, it also makes clear that we would be living in a very different world if Steve Jobs hadn't set out to put a dent in the universe. Anyone with even a passing interest in Apple's history, and anyone who's ever wondered how so very much about the technology landscape has changed so fundamentally in just 35 years, owes it to themselves to read this book.

There COULD NOT be a better way to start 2013!
Happy 2013, guys! 2012 may have had more jaw-dropping moments than Miley Cyrus had pets (uhh #Chavril, anyone?), but we're pretty sure 2013's already upstaged 2012 in a huge way. How, you ask? Oh, just five simple words: KIMYE IS HAVING A BABY! In case you missed it, we'll remind you that during his performance in Atlantic City, Kanye West called Kim Kardashian his "baby mama," and officially broke the "Kim Kardashian is pregnant with hip-hop royalty!!" news to the entire world. And he simultaneously made 2013 the best year ever… and we're not even a full two days in.
As one of their first postbaby announcement outings, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were snapped strolling around Beverly Hills together. You're probably thinking, "Um, they're just walking guys, calm the eff down," and yes, you'd be right. Kimye are just walking. Except now Kim is carrying KANYE WEST'S BABY aka THE KIMYE SPAWN, or BLUE IVY'S FUTURE BESTIE! Which basically turns every ordinary photo of Kim and Kanye into the most important photo you've ever seen in your entire life.

Zubrus fits in well with Parise and Zajac
Devils coach Jacques Lemaire said he decided to move Dainius Zubrus to right wing and play him on the line with Zach Parise and Travis Zajac tonight, "about five minutes before the game."
That wasn't completely true because Zubrus skated in that spot during pre-game warm-ups tonight. There was no arguing with the result, though. That trio teamed on the Devils first three goals tonight and also contributed on Zajac's overtime goal in a 5-4 victory over the Maple Leafs.
Zubrus had a goal and two assists, his first three points since returning Tuesday from a 30-game layoff with a fractured right kneecap. Parise, who said he could have had six goals, had two goals and two assists and Zajac had a gaol and three assists.
"When he first started the first couple of shifts he was just average," Lemaire said of Zubrus. "Then, after that, I don't know what happened. He started to control the puck and play like I've seen him play in the past. Playing with Zach and Travis, it helps to get better."
Lemaire said he put Zubrus on that line in place of Jamie Langenbrunner because he was looking for better scoring balance and wanted to move Langenbrunner to the second line with Brian Rolston and Dean McAmmond. At first he considered putting rookie Nick Palmieri there instead, but opted for Zubrus because he wanted a better defensive presence on the line to play against the Leafs' top line of Alexei Ponikarosky, Matt Stajan and Niclas Hagman.
"I wanted to have at least two lines that would be able to score because I looked at (the Leafs) and he have two lines that are scoring," Lemaire said. "So, I felt that I'll put Jamie with Rollie and that will maybe give us some offense. Then, Zubrus was on the fourth line and I was looking at their first line and I felt that they've got a pretty good first line and Palmieri doesn't have enough experience to play against them and I was looking for a guy that had experience."
Zubrus was happy to receive the assignment.
"I was excited," he said. "It was fun. You know right before the game that you're playing with those two guys and they make things happen. They hold on to the puck and once the puck ends up on their stick, they're going to make something happen. They don't just get rid of it. They try to make plays and you've got to be ready."
Parise and Zaajc felt that Zubrus helped them, too.
"Zubie got us going," Parise said. "He made some really good plays on my goals and a great shot on the 2-on-1. He played really well. He was great out there tonight.
Zubrus looked pretty happy after he scored his goal. He finished off a 2-on-1 with Zajac to give the Devils a 3-1 lead 9:22 into the second period. It was Zubrus' third goal of the season and first since his winner on Oct. 29 in Boston.
"It's been a while and it's fun to score goals," Zubrus said. "Up to that point, the game was going well for us and we had a lot of chances as a line too. We could have scored a few more. So, yeah, it was a fun night,."
Lemaire took Zubrus off the line in the third period and put Langenbrunner back with Parise and Zajac because he wanted Zubrus back on the fourth line with Rod Pelley and Nick Palmieri after Vladimir Zharkov, Pelley and Palmieri were vicitimized on the Leafs' first two goals.
"I tried to make another line better," Lemaire said. "After how many goals am I going to change it? Two was too many."

Unilever will train rural Vietnamese to build demand for toilets
Unilever is rejecting the latrine handout model in favor of a sanitation market sourced and supported wholly by local entrepreneurs.
It is estimated 2.5 billion people lack access to adequate sanitation. This is a widespread and long-term humanitarian issue that cannot be solved by simply providing latrines. That's why Unilever's Domestos Brand, which makes sanitation products, has been thinking about how to make this market work better for the poor.
On World Toilet Day this year, celebrated on Nov. 19th, Domestos began training programs in the Vinh Long province in Vietnam to teach local people how to source, supply and maintain community toilets for their towns. Currently many people don't have access to a clean toilet and have to practice "open defecation," one of the unhealthiest methods.
The main goal of the program is for those enrolled to create their own businesses to maintain the hygiene and sanitation needs of their rural communities. This program also teaches about the importance of sanitation, so communities will understand the value of paying for the upkeep. While Domestos benefits because they sell the products necessary for toilet upkeep, they are also creating a self-sustaining business sector that benefits the poor. Many sanitation practices are new ideas to rural provinces in Vietnam, and Domestos is aiming to fill this void.
Why doesn't Domestos simply give a community a toilet? It would only solve the short-term problem. Instead, this model helps promote long-term solutions and eventually hands the project as a business over to the local entrepreneurs.
World Toilet Day is supported by Unilever, the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Counciland the World Toilet Organization. By creating and encouraging favorable market conditions that will ensure effective, long-term provision of sanitation products and services that reach everyone, even the most vulnerable, nonprofits are working to eliminate local dependence on their service , and have begun building market-driven solutions that will be strong enough to respond to changing demands over time.

There is an illuminating article in the Telegraph today, about the most common thoughts that people have at the end of their days in this world. Apparently the most common regret people have is about having lost touch with old friends.
My own view on that is that there may be every prospect of renewing those friendships in a better world than this one. Others will disagree, of course, and I wonder what we generally think we might be thinking of when our time comes.
Perhaps we should write our ideas down and keep the notes safe, so that we can compare what we think now with what actually think when the end is inevitable.

Jockey Victor Espinoza rode California Chrome to win the 140th running of the Kentucky Derby
There are 160,000 people pouring into Churchill Downs on Saturday, and they all think they have some idea what's going to happen. They don't. Nobody knows.
Race fans don their finest headwear.
Tom Brady, Miranda Lambert, Boy George more more join the race festivities.
In a way, the crazy story of California Chrome, the early favorite of this year's Kentucky Derby, is also the crazy story of the Kentucky Derby itself.
The Kentucky Derby thoroughbred horse race is known as the "Greatest Two Minutes in Sports." Here's a look back at the event through the years.
Join us for the 140th running of the Kentucky Derby.
Saturday's race will be the 140th running of the Kentucky Derby.
The Kentucky Oaks, an important part of Derby weekend, is one of the top races for 3-year-old fillies.
In an exclusive interview, controversial trainer Rick Dutrow, banned from horse racing for 10 years, says, 'I've never cheated to win in my life.'
Since 1919, only 11 horses have won the Triple Crown, considered the greatest accomplishment a Thoroughbred racehorse can achieve.
The most popular question after the Kentucky Derby is, "Can [Kentucky Derby winner] win the Triple Crown?"
The contenders in the 140th running of the Kentucky Derby aren't just names on a page — these beautiful Thoroughbreds are fascinating individuals.
Sam Simon, who is giving away his millions before he dies of cancer, bought a horse at PETA's request so it wouldn't have to race again.
Attending the Kentucky Derby in person takes some preparation to do the right way. Here's what you need to know.
More than half of the jockeys in Saturday's Kentucky Derby are Latino.
California Chrome comes into the Derby having won his last four starts by a combined 24 1/4 lengths.
Churchill Downs, owner of the track that will host the 140th Kentucky Derby this weekend, has been an unlikely winner in recent years.
For some milliners, the annual Run for the Roses is the backbone of their business.
Louisville: where there's a lot more going on than the Kentucky Derby.
Wondering what there is to do in Louisville, Ky., besides sip a mint julep, cheer on your favorite horse, and take in all those hats? Plenty.
Exercise rider Abel Flores takes Kentucky Derby hopeful Tapiture for a morning workout in the rain.

Redding Hopeful for a Shot in the NFL
April 21, 2014
By Kylie Hargreaves, WakeForestSports.com
For most of his career as a Demon Deacon, defensive end Kristopher Redding was Wake Forest's secret weapon on the defensive line. Now the Georgia native is eager to turn heads in the NFL and be picked up by a team in May.
Redding had an impressive junior season, notching 30 total tackles including 14 solo stops. He came back for his final season as a Deacon and helped anchor the defense with 12 solo stops and 25 total tackles.
After graduating in December, Redding was invited to play in the Medal of Honor Bowl in Charleston back in January. Since then, he has been training in Atlanta at Chip Smith Performance with former teammates Nikita Whitlock and Justin Jackson. Redding and company trained incredibly hard every day to get ready for their shot at impressing NFL scouts for Wake's Pro Day which took place in March.
"I had a great time training," said Redding. "I had to work harder than I ever have in my life, but I have reaped great results."
After months of training, Redding was ready to show off his hard work to the 22 NFL scouts in attendance at Wake's practice field during Pro Day.
"Pro Day was a little nerve-wracking, but I enjoyed it," Redding said. "Going from graduating three months ago to the largest job interview of my life was a bit unnerving at first but it proved to be a blessing in the end."
Despite the freezing rain and chilly temperatures that plagued the Wake Forest campus on March 17, Redding managed to make the most of his Pro Day experience. Due to the weather Redding did not feel he was able to perform at his peak during the outdoor portion of testing. Luckily, he made up for it in the weight room for the other half of testing.
"I did really well in the indoor portion of the workouts," said Redding. "I posted 26 bench reps, 32.5 inches on my vertical jump and 9'6" on the broad jump."
Redding was also notified by a few different NFL scouts that he ran the 40-yard dash ranging between 4.8-5.0 seconds. Redding's competitive drive and humble attitude is bound to raise some interest from different NFL teams.
"Whether or not a team will want to use a draft pick on me I'm not sure," said Redding. "I'm just praying to end up with a team that appreciates my talents and that I can do well with."
While Redding waits for his fate to be determined, he plans to return to his hometown and continue to work hard. The defensive end will be focusing more on his speed, flexibility, conditioning, and building his core strength.
"I've been working since January on looking good and testing well," said Redding." Now it's time to focus on the things that make me a good football player."
Redding will continue training in Atlanta where he will wait for whatever opportunity comes his way. The NFL Draft begins on Thursday, May 8, and will go through the weekend.

Hurray for Spring!
Despite getting pummeled with another 6-9" of wind ripped snow on
Tuesday night, the birds are on the move.
Monday, the first official full day of spring:
FOY A pair of Sandhill Cranes rattled from the wetland down the road.
I wonder if it is my resident pair or just travelers resting up. Last
year they arrived on March 23rd.
FOY Good numbers of RT and RL Hawks seen in both Clearwater and
Beltrami counties.
FOY One male Northern Harrier in Clearwater county
Tuesday afternoon at the farm:
A single FOY Robin complained incessantly from the old apple tree. He
did not appreciate the crowded conditions of my yard. Several hundred
Common Redpoll, three Hoary Redpoll, and a handful of Pine Siskin
refuse to relinquish control of the feeders and move north. Purple
Finch numbers are increasing and the males are absolutely glorious in
full breeding plumage and song.
Wednesday a road trip to the north in Clearwater county produced more
RT and RL Hawks and:
FOY American Kestrel
FOY Common Goldeneye (6) at the inlet to Clearwater Lake
Trumpeter Swan, 4 separate pairs in different locations in the
county, on open river water and in cut corn fields.
FOY Canada Geese in corn fields, cattle stock yard and rice paddies
In Mammal news this week...
4AM Tuesday morning I was watching my male Grey Fox foraging around
the bird feeders under my bedroom window. An altercation broke out
over at the Road Kill Diner (my flatbed trailer of salvaged deer
parts) The female Grey Fox was challenged by a Bobcat over the blue
plate special, oak planked venison, and both fox have been AWOL
since. The stand-off sounded horrific. The male dashed across the
yard toward the discord, I assume to assist his partner.
Investigation of the site the next day revealed fresh tracks of both
species, fortunately no wads of fur or blood. Hope they come back
soon, I have a lot of hard-boiled eggs and chicken livers in the fridge.

Microsoft has launched the Kodu Game Design Challenge for young children, challenging youngsters to use its Kodu Labs game development package available for free on Windows (and for $5 on Xbox Live Indies) to develop a game. Children between the ages of nine and 18 years-old are eligible to compete.
The Imagine Cup Kodu Challenge is open now and runs through May 17. There are two age brackets (9 to 12) and (13-18). The competition is run by Microsoft, with support from Mercy Corps and The Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop. This is the first year that the Imagine Cup has offered a category for young children.
Kids can use Kodu to create a game or an interactive story but they have to use the themes of the contest: "Water & People." Winners receive cash, grants, and other prizes. The finals will take place in St. Petersburg, Russia and Microsoft will provide international finalists with a free trip there. You can learn more about Kodu Lab here or download the software for Windows directly from Microsoft. Find out more about this year's challenge here.

My name is Chelsea Daddona and this is my senior year at Kenston High School. I signed up for Web Design because I've heard from previous students that it was a really great class.
Presently, my computer background consists of not very much, but I hope to change that throughout the semester. I hope to contribute to the KHS Website working on photography. Besides Website Design and Maintenance, I am taking Honors Seminar, Statistics, and Independent Living and Wellness this semester.
When I am not in the classroom, I like to hang out with my friends and play softball. My favorite TV show is Lost. My favorite radio stations are 99.5 and 96.5. My all-time favorite movie is The Notebook. My favorite song is currently My Life.
I hope you enjoy the 2008-2009 version of the KHS Website.

Martin 00-45SC John Mayer is Martin's 3rd John Mayer Signature
Martin recently released the Martin 00-45SC – a small bodied, 12 fret acoustic. The release of the Martin 00-45SC John Mayer was originally meant to coincide with the release of John Mayer's album Born and Raised, but the album was delayed and the guitar came first.
The Martin 00-45SC John Mayer is not for those with thin wallets. The guitar is a limited edition with a list price of $13,999 – but at that point who's counting? Martin only plans to release 250 of this model.
Dick Boak describes the Martin 00-45SC John Mayer as a songwriter's guitar – very comfortable for playing on one's lap. While we are drawn to the beautiful inlay on the headstock, our economical side wonders if we wouldn't be just as happy with a Martin 00-18V.

Seattle-based real-estate company Colliers International has launched a charity campaign powered by social networking.
It's supposed to have a domino effect: You give $5 to a favorite charity, encourage your friends on a social network to do the same, they tell their friends, and a chain reaction results. That's the philosophy behind Everyone Gives, a charity campaign launched by Colliers International, the Seattle-based commercial-real-estate giant.
Colliers, which has revenue of $2 billion a year, is hoping that the eight-day campaign launched Wednesday will go viral. After the first day, the website reported more than $160,000 in pledges and 4,000 participants in 53 countries.
"We saw the significance of social networking and where it is going in society," said Doug Frye, global chief executive of Colliers who came up with the idea for Everyone Gives. "It was a medium to take advantage of."

Most Read Stories
Everyone Gives has more than 900 charities, including the well-known American Cancer Society and Big Brothers Big Sisters, though donors can nominate other nonprofits that accept online contributions. Users start off by "planting" a tree by making a donation — say $5 or $10 — to a charity at everyonegives.org. The donor can then tell friends about it through Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn and watch the tree branch out as more members in the network donate.
Sree Sreenivasan, a professor of social media at Columbia University, said the idea of seeing your small donation branch out into a tree fosters both inspiration and competition.
"One person encouraging another to participate is much easier to do in social media," he said.
But Frye said he doesn't believe in social pressure. Instead, Frye said he wants to empower people by showing the impact a mere $5 contribution can make.
"We really believe the biggest mistake you can make is assuming your donation is too small," he said.
Frye said setting up Everyone Gives cost more than $500,000. Colliers is not branding the effort as its own and doesn't spend its advertising dollars on it. All of the donations are sent to the designated charity.
Instead, it's choosing to spread the word via social media, including its Facebook page. Frye also said other companies, charities and designers are spreading the word about the Everything Gives website on their own, in hopes of expanding their own trees.
The eight-day launch is the "rewards" period in which the tree with the highest amount of donations will be matched by Colliers.
Frye expects the site to generate more than $1 million in donations by the end of the year. Sreenivasan agrees it has this potential in the long run.
"E-philanthropy works for the same reason charity auctions and marathons work. People want to be involved in the 'community feeling.' "
He also said tapping into social networks is effective because it reaches out to a new audience that includes all ages.
Ward Caswell, director of key accounts at Argus Software, which helped develop Everyone Gives, said that having conversations with friends, families and colleagues about personal interests can very easily turn into "tangible fundraising."

Right now, doctors and neurologists alike are using standard brain maps to pinpoint where epileptic seizures come from. However, some experts say that could be dangerous, especially for children.
That's why some doctors have decided to use a military targeting program designed for the medical practitioner. It samples parts of the brain the same way radar detects little blips.
The computer software looks for electrical impulses from the brain, excluding the ones coming from the seizure center. Those parts are seen in yellow.
Doctors say it's about two to three times more accurate than standards tests.

A Seattle pilot and his brother, both in their 80s, whose single-engine plane crashed last week near Yellowstone National Park, are presumed dead, said the Park County Sheriff's Office in Cody, Wyo.
The Sheriff's Office said the Wyoming Army National Guard on Monday evening flew a Black Hawk helicopter to the wreckage discovered earlier in the day, intending to lower a rescuer.
But, said Martin Knapp, commander of the county's search-and-rescue operation, the avalanche risk was too high.
"I simply could not, in good conscience, risk any more lives," he said. "I realize it's hard for the family of the brothers, but I have been in contact with them, and they were in complete agreement with our decision."

After crashing, the plane had settled in a steep ravine on a 60-degree slope with a large cornice of snow above it, the Sheriff's Office said.
A photo taken from above the crashed plane shows heavy front-end damage and a wing that has been torn off. The tail is bent up. There appear to be no footprints near the site.
Sheriff Scott Steward said he believes the brothers died in the crash.
He said, "Given the damage to the aircraft as well as the extremely harsh environmental conditions in the area, there's no other conclusion we can make."
Ward Zimmerman, 86, a retired Boeing engineer from Seattle, and his brother, Robert Zimmerman, 84, a retired nuclear physics professor from the University of Brazil at São Paulo, had been flying around the country for several weeks on a pleasure trip.
Initial reports had Robert Zimmerman as being from Huntsville, Ala., but that was because his plane — the one that crashed — was registered there, said a niece, Ruth Brandal, of Everett.
She said both brothers were experienced pilots and well-respected in their professions. Brandal said her dad took her on her first airplane ride when she 3 or 4.
After initial stories about Ward Zimmerman ran, a former co-worker at Boeing recounted how Zimmerman was responsible for the electronic engine control that's now in all jet engines.
Brandal told how her uncle lectured around the world on nuclear physics, most recently in Turkey.
When the brothers got together, she said, "The conversations we had over the dinner table were just phenomenal."
Brandal said both men were careful pilots.
"They'd analyze everything down to every last detail," she said.
On May 6, even though the snowy, rainy weather was bad enough that the man in charge where they refueled said he wouldn't have done it, the two brothers took off around noon.
Joel Simmons, director of operations at Choice Aviation in Cody, said the two brothers felt that a departure at around noon gave them "a little window" in between "some big weather systems."
Rescuers who went on foot into the backcountry looking for the plane reported trekking through 5 feet of snow, "extreme mountainous terrain, in winds of up to 50 miles an hour," the Sheriff's Office said.
Brandal said that the family was used to the two brothers making plans at the spur of the moment. But they also kept in regular contact with the family, she said.
By Thursday, when no one had heard from the brothers, Brandal was one of the family members who began calling authorities.
Eventually the family pieced together that the brothers were to next fly to Portland to visit a granddaughter of Ward Zimmerman's.
"He absolutely loves lemon pie. She had made it, and it was waiting for him," Brandal said. "When he didn't show up, she knew it was serious."
She said her dad had asked his children how they felt about the flying trip he was planning with his brother.
It was OK with the kids, Brandal said.
She said she told him that if he died flying, "I always imagine you died smiling, having this adventure."

No Progress on Catawba-Wateree, America's Most Endangered River
Eight months after "Most Endangered River" listing, hope lies in upcoming legislative sessionsDecember 11th, 2008

 Gerrit Jöbsis, American Rivers, 803-771-7114
Dave Merryman, Catawba Riverkeeper, (704) 679-9494 ext 3

Columbia, SC — Eight months after American Rivers named the Catawba-Wateree America's Most Endangered River™for 2008, legislators in South Carolina and North Carolina still have not acted to improve water management. American Rivers and local partners are calling on North Carolina and South Carolina to implement sensible water supply and water efficiency policies throughout the Catawba-Wateree basin. The states should also pass statewide water withdrawal regulations, and require water efficiency measures year-round.
"Parts of our region are still in the grips of an historic drought. Closing our eyes to the problem isn't a solution. Sucking our rivers dry isn't a solution. The only real solution is to improve how we manage our water, so that we can protect our economy, environment and quality of life," said Gerrit Jöbsis, Southeast regional director for American Rivers. "Decision makers in North Carolina and South Carolina should use the coming legislative sessions to implement lasting solutions that embrace sustainable water use and river protection."
In the upcoming South Carolina legislative session, Sen. Hayes (R York) plans to put surface water withdrawal permitting legislation on the docket. The goal should be to maximize community health and sustainability — not water withdrawals. The North Carolina Legislature needs to be proactive on updating current water regulations during the 2009 legislative session, which begins in January. The UNC and Duke University study team offered a preliminary report in November and that should guide the action of the Legislature this session.
While the entire region suffers from water mismanagement, the outdated policies currently threatening the Catawba-Wateree River are especially egregious. Unless immediate changes are implemented, the river that provides drinking water for millions of people, pumps tens of millions of dollars into local economies, and is directly responsible for thousands of jobs could be irreparably damaged; and the communities that depend on it will suffer.
The population explosion in the Charlotte region has left decision makers in both North and South Carolina flummoxed when it comes to water policy. Conservation measures are only implemented after things get bad, not year round. For example, in January 2007, regulators in North Carolina authorized stealing 10 million gallons a day from the Catawba, instead of curing the disease of wasteful water policy. The South Carolina Attorney General responded by petitioning the US Supreme Court to halt the water transfer and assure equitable allocation of this interstate river.
"With wasteful water practices on full display across the Southeast, people can quite literally watch their future go down the drain," said Jöbsis . "This isn't a message of gloom and doom, but rather an opportunity for all of us to look in the mirror, and make a substantive and sustainable change in our lives."
Each year at least 10 million people flock to the Catawba-Wateree to enjoy a variety of recreationally based industries including boating, camping, hiking and fishing. Those tourists leave almost 100 million dollars behind, helping drive local economies and support jobs throughout the region. Meanwhile, the river helps power both states through hydropower, coal, and nuclear power plants. Lower water flows could force the facilities to be taken off line. Several paper plants, textile factories and chemical facilities also depend on the river to keep their businesses afloat. No water for the river means no water for the businesses, and bad news for local communities.

Go ahead, John, go on, dance all around,
Teach 'em how to dougie in the second round.
Five quick games, good to see the Bulls go,
No offense to Joakim Noah, but they're boring that Chicago.
Nine years since a series win, way back in '05,
Plenty of young fans weren't even alive.
So way to go, John Wall, Gortat, Nene Hilario
Bradley Beal, Trevor Ariza, even young Otto.
Playoff fever is back and ravishing DC,
Red shirted fans erupting at each and every three.
To ball like Wall, boy you gotta do the dance,
In the second round now, the Wizards got their chance.

Skoda Power Turbines To Be Used In Turkey Power Plant
Skoda Power has received a contract to deliver three 133 MW Skoda steam turbines with 3S Enerji ve Maden A.S. for a power plant in Cankiri, Turkey, worth about US$82.1 million (€60 million).
Skoda Power will also supply an electrical generator, control system, condensing and regenerative system, piping, electrical parts and technical advisory services during installation and commissioning of each of the three condensing steam turbines with axial condenser output.
All three units are scheduled to go online within three years. A portion of the generated energy will be distributed by Yildizlar Holding, the Turkish investor of the power plant, through its recently privatized Osmangazi network.
The inauguration ceremony for the thermal power plant took place on Sept. 1, 2010. Yildizlar Holidng will cover the complete chain of activities, from coal mining through electricity generation and distribution to the end customers, according to the company.

How Sick Is Sick?
It's 7 am. You are getting your children ready for school and yourself ready for work. You have a huge report to present to the boss, and your child has to take a test that can't be missed.
"Mommy, I don't feel so good! [cough, cough, sneeze, drip]" Maybe you find him covered in a rash. Or you are feeling feverish yourself.
This is a disaster. You can't miss work, your child can't miss school. No one will notice, right? If your kid gets really bad (or the teacher notices the rash), the school will call you. You can leave work early. Right? It'll all work out.
I've been there! I've had a real job that paid hourly, and if I missed a day, there would be a bill that couldn't be paid. I have two kids who spent enough time at home with typical kid sicknesses. Both kids AND my husband all got chicken pox within a 3-week time span. It was a nightmare.
Best-case scenario
There are good germs and bad germs. We have beneficial bacteria in our gut that keeps us healthy by keeping the bad bacteria in check. A round of antibiotics can kill off that good bacteria in short order, and we can end up pretty sick unless we replenish the good bacteria with some yogurt, kefir, and some probiotic capsules. Bacteria live in us and on us.
We have become obsessed with avoiding germs. Gerber for Medical Professionals explains that, "Exposure to common infectious pathogens thus has an important function in building the child's healthy immune system via adaptive immunity. A variety of infectious agents, both viral and bacterial, are commonly encountered by children in daycare, resulting in a range of illnesses including upper and lower respiratory tract infections, acute otitis media, gastrointestinal illness, and certain skin ailments. The young child first entering daycare – especially a child with no older siblings – essentially encounters an assault on the immune system that is a direct result of increased environmental exposure. Children under 1 year of age may be particularly hard hit as they are still in the early stages of immune system development. Parents will often cite their frustrations with the on-again, off-again illnesses experienced by their child. Parents and siblings are often co-infected, further exacerbating the family's frustrations with the cycles of illness and recovery that interfere with home, work, school and social routines."
So kids and adults getting exposed to SOME germs is good and necessary, because they will create antibodies to those germs and hopefully not get sick again because of them. But they can sure cause chaos in the household at 7 am or halfway through your workday.
The other end of the spectrum
Then there are the major illnesses that require vaccinations, if available, because they are so communicable and devastating. Many daycare centers just won't accept your child if they haven't received their vaccinations. More parents are getting state approval to opt out of school-mandated vaccinations.
In ABC News's article, Non-Medical Vaccination Opt-Outs on the Rise, "Dr. Saad Omer, author of the correspondence published in the New England Journal of Medicine, warned that this trend is leaving large populations of children at risk for developing potentially deadly illnesses that haven't been seen in the United States in many years."
Some parent have resorted to "Chickenpox parties," where they expose a group of children to a child with chickenpox, even though the most severe cases of chickenpox can be fatal, and having it predisposes the person to getting shingles later on in life. Chickenpox is caused by the varicella zoster virus, one of 8 herpes viruses, which, after a bout of chickenpox, lies dormant on a dermatome, an area of skin that is mainly supplied by a single spinal nerve. This dermatome is where the shingles (herpes zoster) can flare as an adult, causing extremely painful blisters and nerve pain. The chickenpox vaccine reduces the risk of chickenpox and shingles.
How sick is sick?
WebMD advises that you keep a child (or adult) home:
- Fever of 101º or more, and keep them home until they are fever-free. From personal experience with my kids, I'd like to mention that strep throat (see Sore throat below) doesn't always cause a sore throat. It could just cause a fever that spikes over and over for days, with no other symptoms. It may need antibiotics.
- Diarrhea can be a sign of infection, food poisoning, or medication side effect. Keep the child home until stools are well-formed and the doctor gives the okay.
- If a child has vomited twice or more in 24 hours, keep them home until symptoms clear or the doctor says the child is not contagious.
- Severe cough and cold symptoms should keep a child home from school. A serious cough could be a sign of a contagious condition like whooping cough (especially if you didn't get your child vaccinated with the pertussis vaccine), croup, or viral bronchitis.
- Sore throat – If your child has been diagnosed with strep throat, keep them home for the first 24 hours after treatment has started.
- Pinkeye (conjunctivitis) is usually contagious (unless it's allergic conjunctivitis – let the doctor decide), so children should stay home for the first 24 hours after treatment has begun.
- Headache – opinions differ on whether a child should be kept home because of a headache, which can be a symptom of a contagious condition like viral gastroenteritis, flu, meningitis, or strep throat. If there are no other symptoms and your child feels otherwise okay, she can go to school.
- Rashes can be a sign of contagious conditions like chickenpox, bacterial meningitis, impetigo (what some parents often incorrectly refer to as "infantigo"), or even the measles, for parents who haven't vaccinated.
- Earaches and mild cold or respiratory symptoms are usually no reason to keep a child at home, as long as he is not in that much pain, the nasal drainage is clear, and the cough is mild.
Mayo Clinic has guidelines on when to treat a fever (a fever is not bad in and of itself – it helps to kill what causing the illness. It's usually best to let it run its course unless the person is uncomfortable). Mayo also has guidelines on how to take a temperature.
Before you step out that door
Be aware if a child in your child's class or someone at your work is immunocompromised due to an immune deficiency, cancer treatment, medical steroid use, or post-organ transplant. They may not be sick, but your child's or your own illness could infect them and make them extremely or fatally ill if they're exposed. Methods of transmission vary widely, depending on the bug. Don't assume it's all handshakes and using someone's phone.
According to the Children's Physician Network, several illnesses are contagious for up to 2 weeks before there are any symptoms, so wash your hands often (regular soap and water is fine – you don't need the antibacterial stuff), cough or sneeze into a tissue or your elbow, use sanitizer after shaking someone's hands or cleaning up a snotty nose, wipe off your surfaces with bleach or rubbing alcohol, and don't go nuts with fear.
You can't avoid all germs, and you don't want to, because germs also keep you healthy, but you need to know when you or your child are too sick to go anywhere but back to bed.

UPDATE - Sheriff's Department releases name of shooting victim
July 15, 2010
On Wednesday, the Walworth County Sheriff's Department released the name of the man who died in an officer-involved shooting earlier Tuesday morning in Lake Como. Roman O. Petriw, 47, had been living at the residence for the past several weeks. Originally from Chicago, Petriw was a childhood friend of the owner of the home, who lives in Dundee, Ill. According to the release, Petriw had been unemployed for the last several months and was depressed over personal issues. On Tuesday, between 6:15 and 6:20 a.m., a Lake Como man was out walking his dog in the area of Whittier and Dandelion roads when he said he heard a "pop."
'You have to at least look at the allegations'
Town Board still hasn't decided on investigating complaint against police chief
July 15, 2010
Linn — A month ago, the town received a complaint signed by 14 people listing an array of allegations against Police Chief Dennis Wisniewski. Although the Linn Town Board conducted its first closed session meeting about the complaint Thursday, July 8, its members still haven't decided whether the complaint merits investigation. "You have to at least look at the allegations. That's why we're gathering more information," Town Attorney David Schiltz said shortly after the July 8 special meeting in the Town Hall basement.

A welcome surprise
Economic program makes bridge possible
July 08, 2010
Linn For quite some time, town officials have been trying to obtain the funds to replace a bridge on Mohawk Road.But thanks to U.S. President Barack Obamas economic stimulus program, improvements to the bridge east of Swamp Angel Road are being made earlier than expected.The reason this came up so soon is the president released money for the economic recovery program, which is called ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act), said Jim Wolfgram, the towns highway superintendent. This project is 100 percent paid for by the federal government.

Data was stored on audio cassettes. If you wanted your computer to do something, you had to write the program, which could take weeks to complete.
Police chief complaint in hands of board members
June 17, 2010
Linn At least the ongoing police controversy has created some learning opportunities.Last week, a complaint against Town Police Chief Dennis Wisniewski signed by 14 people was filed with the town clerk-treasurer.But on Monday, Town Attorney David Schiltz said he doesnt know how officials will proceed with investigating this complaint because theres no clear town policy to guide officials through the situation.
At it again: Group filing complaint against police chief
June 10, 2010
Linn Apparently, town resident Jim Keeler still wants officials to fire Police Chief Dennis Wisniewski.At the annual town meeting in April, Keeler read a list of several reasons why he believes Wisniewski should be terminated. Although Keeler made a motion asking the Linn Town Board to investigate his claims, evidently it wasnt official.Then, last month, newly appointed acting town chairman Jim Weiss said the controversy shrouding Wisniewski and the Town Police Department for the past two years was yesterdays news.

DA reluctantly reduces charge in sexual assault case
Former town of Geneva police sergeant was investigator
May 27, 2010
Elkhorn A sexual assault charge significantly was reduced Tuesday during a plea hearing for a case former Geneva Town Police Sgt. Robert Haase investigated.Scott J. Anderson, 7186 Depot St., Springfield, pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of fourth-degree sexual assault, a charge which carries a maximum penalty of nine months in jail and $10,000 in fines.
