Vitalix, Inc., of Alliance has agreed to pay a $39,683 civil penalty to resolve 19 violations of labeling regulations, the Environmental Protection Agency announced Tuesday.
The violations are related to Vitalix's sales of the RF2025 Tub, misbranded as #5 Altosid IGR Fly Tub, as well as sales of the RF2002 Block product, misbranded as Mineralix Fly Tub with Altosid IGR#11, EPA spokesman Ben Washburn said.
EPA alleged that the two fly control products were either misbranded with labels that did not include required cautionary language, or were distributed in conjunction with claims that differed from the pesticide registration information filed with EPA from 2009-11.
Washburn said that under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, distributors of pesticides must ensure that the information on their products labels contains the same required cautionary information as found on the labels filed with EPA by the pesticides registrants, and that those pesticides are not distributed with claims that differ from the registration information filed with EPA.
Under federal regulations, a pesticides supplemental distributor in this case, Vitalix and its registrant Wellmark International of Schaumburg, Ill. are both responsible to ensure the distributors product complies with FIFRA and the terms of the products registration, Washburn said.
Wellmark also agreed to pay a $44,704 civil penalty.
Wellmark International and Vitalix have certified that they are now in compliance with FIFRA and its regulations, Washburn said in announcing the settlement.

I want to be beautiful! Inside AND out... I am a makeup artist and know beautiful faces. When I became frustrated with my tired appearance I knew I had to see Dr.S. My level of comfort with the surgery performed in the office under local anestetic was shocking. To be able to go in and out of the office and home was remarkable.
Pain was nonexistent during surgery, and post op was mild discomfort. Incredible! The best part is how I feel about myself now. I did not realize how depressing it was for me to look in the mirror or do my own makeup. It has been 4 months since my surgery and I still beam when I see myself.
The goal was to look less tired, refreshed. I would say I am that and more so. The skin of my cheeks and jawline is so smooth. The other amazing part is not one person has noticed!!! Of course I am thrilled to share with them, but the usual response is you just look great, just yourself. It has truly changed my life, I feel better about myself and that has made my life sooo much happier.

This one pays him $1.02 million, with a $65,000 signing bonus, qualifying for the veteran minimum benefit (which lowers his cap charge). It's the third straight year he's worked on a one-year deal with the Lions.
The 32-year-old Muhlbach has played his entire NFL career with the Lions.

Editorial Reviews - Winter Light Barnes & Noble Slip Yanni's WINTER LIGHT into your CD player this holiday season and get ready to experience a variety of moods and emotions. "Forgotten Yesterdays" begins with album with delightfully delicate snow flurries; the zinging of the autoharp both twinkles and stings like a driven snow. "Until the Last Moment" combines a Chopin-like serenity -- the emotion broils just under the surface -- with playful abandon. Harp glissandos on "Twilight" unfurl a canopy of stars, while celestial horns corral the comets, and the shooting star effects are magical. The several up-tempo pieces are exhilarating: "The Magus" could be the theme song for speed skating program, not what you'd expect from a seasonal album where quiet contemplation and the magic of a deep crystalline sky are the norm. But, then again, Yanni isn't your average musician. Carol Wright All Music Guide Private Music's Yanni compilation Winter Light includes his 1999 hit single "Love Songs," as well as other popular songs by the New Age composer. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

Armstrong faces uncertain vote in Florida surgeon general confirmation hearing
Dr. John Armstrong will likely face tough questions and an uncertain vote as the Senate Health Policy Committee considers whether to confirm him as Gov. Rick Scott's choice for surgeon general this afternoon.
Armstrong, first appointed by Scott in 2012 to run the Department of Health, has been under fire for the removal of kids from the Children's Medical Services program, rising HIV infections particularly in South Florida, the repeal of standards for pediatric heart surgery and cutbacks to county health departments.
"I think that he has a lot to answer for," said Sen. Oscar Braynon, D-Miami Gardens, who sits on the Health Policy Committee. "I think everybody has questions, and it's not just the Democrats. There's a lot being heard from the Dade County people."
Armstrong needs support from five of the health panel's nine members. Three Democrats have been highly critical and are likely to vote against him, and four Republicans, including chairman Aaron Bean, R-Fernandina Beach, have expressed support.
That leaves it up to two swing votes: Sen. Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, who has been critical of personnel cutbacks in the health department and Sen. Anitere Flores, R-Miami, who did not say whether she planned to vote for or against Armstrong but has voiced concerns about rising HIV infections in her home county of Miami-Dade, which leads the nation in new cases.
A fellow Miami-Dade Republican, Sen. Rene Garcia, R-Hialeah, said last week that, "I'm going to vote for him, but I have questions. I definitely have questions."
Three weeks ago, Bean postponed Armstrong's confirmation hearing after senators raised concerns about the appointment. Gaetz sent a letter outlining a series of his own questions to Armstrong.
"The outcome would have been uncertain for Dr. Armstrong, depending upon how he interacted with the committee," Gaetz said that day.
Last year, the Health Policy Committee did not vote on Armstrong's confirmation, and he was one of several Scott appointees who was not confirmed by the chamber. If the full Senate doesn't approve of his nomination this year, he'll lose his $141,000-a-year job. First, he must clear the Health Policy and Ethics and Elections committees.
If the Senate does not confirm Armstrong, it would be a rarely seen move and send a clear signal from the Republican-controlled chamber to a governor of the same party.
Before being appointed surgeon general, Armstrong, an Army veteran, was a top medical officer at the University of South Florida.

Not so long ago or perhaps even as I write this, Ravindra Jadeja is an Internet meme, the darling of the social media networks, a source of constant entertainment for the Internet cricket followers, more often than not, a butt of most jokes.
Just before the Delhi Test match, a game he made his own through his performance, his Wikipedia page became the subject of random vandalism by cricket fans, presumably his detractors. It read, "Sir Ravindra Jadeja (edit) is a philanthropist, a Nobel prize winner, a double Laureus sportman of the year and the nearest human to being God. After consistent pleading by the BCCI to save the nation, Jadeja agreed to play as an Indian cricketer. He was Knighted in 2005 due to his one-in-a-million talent, and being the messenger of god."
But what is undeniable is the fact that he was the find of this series, emerging today as one of the most improved cricketers in Indian cricket. After all, twenty four, that's right, twenty four wickets in a series is no joke. With every wicket he took, he'd make some of his fiercest critics, including myself, gorge on a plate of humble pie, slice by slice, bite by bite. He won, and rather handsomely.
Little over three months ago, when Jadeja was picked to represent India in Test cricket for the first time, it was due to some impressive, if not crazy numbers in domestic cricket for Saurashtra. A batting tally of almost 800 runs in 5 first-class matches, two triple-hundreds, a highest score of 331 - the other triple being an unbeaten 303 against Gujarat.
Bowling-wise, the numbers weren't bad either. 24 wickets at 20.71 a piece, with a best of 6/71. You could at best joke about these numbers and the fact that they belonged to Jadeja, but you couldn't argue against his potential to churn out these performances or even his selection for that fact. Slightly superhuman. Just slightly. His selection was quite typically met with a lot of curiosity, especially considering the format that he'd been drafted in for.
It was a fairly easy call for the selectors, given that Jadeja was clearly the man in form, and almost single-handedly (though Jogiyani fans might dispute this) set up Saurashtra's march to the final. In a sense, the think-tank knew what they were doing. They had a plan in mind and importantly, for Jadeja, they had a role which they believed he could not just play reasonably well, but excel in. They wanted a package that they longed for, one that was becoming hard to find. They got one.
KEEPING THOSE internet jokes aside, Jadeja is no prodigy. He's first and foremost come the hard way, by sheer performances in the Ranji Trophy and somewhere along the way he's figured out his game. You could argue about him being a late bloomer, but for someone who over the years has been compartmentalized as a limited-overs specialist, despite his more than decent track record in First Class cricket, it was important for Jadeja to spend more time at that level to understand what exactly he offers Indian cricket at the Test level.
On the evidence of what we've witnessed, that looks like the case. Today, he offers the think-tank a reasonable batsman at the position he plays, perhaps better than most of us think he is. Again, nothing exceptional but handy runs lower down the order always help, irrespective of the situation. He also comes through as a bowler who feeds on his limitations and does it exceptionally well.
Depending on the situation, he's displayed the abilities of a man who could hold one end up, keeping the flow of runs by doing the simple bits with a great amount of repetition and consistency. And let's admit, a proper fit cricketer with exceptional fielding skills and a sense of energy about him that India lacked in the last eighteen months.
For an all-rounder spinner who was in effect competing with a specialist in the current setup - either Pragyan Ojha or Harbhajan Singh during different times in this series, his contributions have been nothing short of phenomenal. In fact, the menacing bit about Jadeja's bowling lay in the very simplicity of his art (if you could call it that). He was by no means unplayable, but was made to look just that by a bunch of batsmen who lacked the technique, the acumen and the patience to withstand his immaculate perseverance.
THE MANTRA and the trap was simple — bowl line and length, wicket to wicket, occasionally land one that turns away from the right-hander, sow that seed of doubt that undoes the batsman's already scrambled head and keep doing that all day long. Loose balls were rare, almost extinct. He was hard to get away, because of the accuracy and the sheer discipline he'd put into it. Also, it helps to have someone who bowls with an uncomplicated action, with what you wouldn't call a run-up, he was averaging almost a couple of minutes an over, which obviously meant within no time, there was a changeover and the batsmen had face Ravichandran Ashwin. It definitely looked like smart planning, especially against the Australians whose fidgety tendencies, when the runs dried up would almost oblige with a bad shot he'd regret.
IN THIS series, there was a sense of maturity about Ravindra Jadeja. Not just consistency, but he figured out the finer aspects of spin bowling — the trajectory, the length and importantly, the pace. The drier the wicket, the faster he'd bowl, forcing the batsman to adjust within no time as the ball landed and more often than not, spun away. Two years ago, similar situation, he'd bowl a release ball, a long-hop or a full-toss or even an over-pitched delivery that instantly undid every good work he'd put in before.
It also helps that Jadeja, over the years has become a key member of a fresh, young core that Mahendra Singh Dhoni has identified. It is undeniable that he enjoys a special relationship with the captain solely based on trust and belief. He's emerged as someone akin to what Harbhajan was to Ganguly, a trusted lieutenant who, should the situation arise, would happily and wholeheartedly put his body on the line and get things done. The basis of the relationship is rather simple and a mutual sense of confidence in each other.
Here's a captain who quite blindly believes in Jadeja's ability as an asset in all forms of the game, more recently as a Test match operator, while Jadeja derives a great degree of strength from this confidence his skipper has in him. It's one of those cases, not dissimilar to Suresh Raina, where Dhoni has taken him aside, briefed him about his role, importance and value rather intricately, and like a loyal soldier, he's repaid that trust, at least in this series.
Or maybe, just maybe, he's that type of a player — someone who, as demonstrated by Shane Warne during his IPL stint with the Rajasthan franchise or even by the Saurashtra setup with coach Debu Mitra and Cheteshwar Pujara, that given a mentor, given someone who trusts him, could shine and repay that faith with stellar performances. This is by no means uncommon in sport or even nothing to be ashamed of.
THE BIGGEST takeaway from this series for Indian cricket is the sense of freshness about the dressing room and sets things up perfectly for the end of year tour to South Africa. Like every cricketer who's played before him and will represent India after Jadeja, he will be put through his toughest tests abroad, away from the dustbowls that the subcontinent offers, but is there where could yet play a role.
Jadeja's emergence as a package, at the very least makes him an option, giving the captain an opportunity to play three quicks, and two spinners, along with Ashwin. It is a trend the captain will have to buck, given his preference, almost a fetish for three quicks and a lone spinner abroad. But more than his bowling, which on bouncy, fast-paced wickets would be laced with a fair degree of predictability, his batting could again come in handy - to either resist or consolidate, depending on the situation. At least, with this showing, he's earned that opportunity, that chance to show what he's about in those conditions.
A quick glance through my Facebook feed, and I found this - the latest meme doing the rounds on a popular social media websites — "One day Sir Ravindra Jadeja smoked a cigar," it says, and as you scroll lower, and as you try and overcome that curiosity to check the rest of the joke, it reads, "And Australia and England compete for the Ashes."
It sounds utterly cheesy, a terrible attempt at humour, but that's exactly what Sir Ravindra Jadeja has over the years been subject to. It's hard to imagine someone who's copped up these levels of abuse and jokes and yet, tried harder each time he took the field. This series, from Jadeja's perspective wasn't about proving people wrong. No way. This was about telling people that he belonged. He sure did.

Car shows are different in Tijuana
"You do not have to babysit the people from leaning or touching the cars."
Mike Madriaga 2:30 p.m., Sept. 19
Game of the Week
No. 5 La Costa Canyon (1-0) at No. 3 Poway (1-0) Friday 7 p.m.
Poway and La Costa Canyon have section title aspirations, and both teams could stand in the way of each other before a champion is crowned in Division II this season. Well in advance of a potential postseason battle, the third-ranked Titans host the fifth-ranked Mavericks in a North County showdown on Friday night. Poway opened the season with a blowout win over Scripps Ranch and has talent and experience led by senior receiver/defensive back Derek Babiash and senior linebacker Alec Moreno. La Costa Canyon shut out Baldwin Park in its opener, and the athletic Mavericks face a tough test in their first road game of the season. These two teams met last year, and Poway's 27-14 win established the Titans as a contender on their way to the Division I title.
Best of the Rest
St. Augustine (1-0) at Steele Canyon (0-1) Friday 7 p.m.
After a season opening loss to Cathedral Catholic, Steele Canyon will try to pick up its first win of the season against another religious powerhouse. St. Augustine is part of Steele Canyon's stacked nonleague schedule as the Cougars adjust to new head coach Scott Longerbone and a new spread offense. The Saints came from behind to knock off Carlsbad on the road to open the season and face a tough road challenge for the second straight game. Steele Canyon will look to avoid an 0-2 start on Friday night, while a win for St. Augustine will establish the Saints as a contender in Division IV.
No. 7 Vista (0-1) at No. 1 Helix (1-0) Friday 7 p.m.
Top-ranked Helix kicked off its state title defense in impressive fashion with a 28-6 win at Eastlake last week, making a solid season opening statement despite its inexperience. The Highlanders host Vista on Friday night aiming to continue their momentum behind a fast defense and steady offense. The Panthers slipped up against Grandview in their opener and will need a good performance in La Mesa to stay in the Top 10. Both teams are young in key areas – which one will step up to this early season challenge?
El Camino (1-0) at Mira Mesa (1-0) Friday 7 p.m.
Mira Mesa starts a two-game stretch against Oceanside opponents when they host El Camino on Friday night. Though the Marauders' game at Oceanside on Sept. 14 comes with more notoriety, their matchup of unbeatens against the Wildcats promises to be just good. The San Diego State-bound duo of quarterback Trey Lomax and receiver Addison Morrow star for Mira Mesa, who came from behind to beat Valhalla in its opener. El Camino rolled over San Diego in its debut, paced by 224 yards and three touchdowns from senior running back Justin Williams. The winner of this North County-City clash will continue an undefeated start to the season.
No. 9 Madison (1-0) at Valhalla (0-1) Friday 7 p.m.
Fresh off winning a city showdown against Lincoln, Madison heads to East County on Friday night to face a Valhalla team that narrowly missed out on a win last week. The Warhawks have a talented collection of playmakers highlighted by Arizona-bound Pierre Cormier and Lee Walker and face their first road test against the Norsemen. Valhalla started quickly in its opener but couldn't hold off visiting Mira Mesa in a 31-28 loss. This intriguing crossdivision matchup should be back and forth and come down to the wire.
In the Red Zone
Horizon (1-0) at Mission Bay (1-0) Friday 3 p.m.
The Red Zone heads to Pacific Beach for the second straight week for a Friday matinee between a pair of early unbeatens. Mission Bay has athleticism on both sides of the ball, while small school Horizon features Oregon-bound senior receiver/defensive back Darren Carrington.

Angelina Jolie is in talks to reprise her role as Evelyn Salt, an undercover CIA agent who was revealed to be a Russian spy in the 2010 action thriller Salt.
According to Deadline, Sony Pictures has asked Kurt Wimmer to write a follow-up to the $300 million-grossing film. In August, the 36-year-old mom of six told Us Weekly she was game for a sequel.
"It's up to everybody here and if they want to see more," Jolie told Us at the film's London premiere. "I hope so!"
Associate producer Amy Lynn praised Jolie's performance, telling Us that the Oscar winner is "stunning" and "captivating" to watch. "She just steals the camera," Lynn said. "You are hypnotized. You can't take your eyes off of her."
Tell Us: Would you watch a Salt sequel?

Finally, it supports multipoint technology, which means this bad boy can be paired to several devices at one time, which is super convenient. The Jawbone Prime sells for $129, but Amazon has them for $92.74.

How to fix the Motorola DROID MMS bug
Posted by Dan Hughes Categories: Cell Phones, Google, Handhelds
We recently reported an issue regarding the Motorola DROID and it's MMS problem, and it looks like we've tracked down the issue.
After some hefty research (read: lots of Googling and failed MMS messages,) we finally stumbled upon a post over on Howard Forums from a user who seemed to identify this issue. We have tested it successfully, both purposefully breaking and then fixing our ability to send MMS.
The culprit: parentheses around your contact's area code. If your contacts have parentheses around them when they are synced to the phone, the Droid faithfully preserves that. However, when the address is used for an MMS transmission (and ONLY MMS, for some reason), it glitches out and fails. [Ed. note: What an absolutely ridiculous bug!]
Here's how to fix the DROID MMS issue, if you are experiencing it:
- Delete any open threads containing the user you want to MMS, including any text message threads. Otherwise, it will pull the address form the thread instead of using the new one.
- Edit the contact, removing the phone number and retyping it in. Notice the Droid will type the hyphens in itself, but will not place parentheses. Make sure to do this on EACH form of data this may synchronize from (e.g. Corporate AND Google contacts, if this person is in both. Haven't figured out if parentheses coming from Facebook can cause a problem.)
- Soft reset the phone.
- Attempt the MMS.
This worked for us. Drop us a comment and let us know if it worked for you. There have been some reports of the problems reoccurring, and so we'd like to know your circumstances.
Personal note: Make sure you edit the information that syncs to your phone so it has no parentheses. I know I exported my contacts from Outlook, and imported them into Google, and Outlook puts parentheses by default, so that is why none of my contacts worked in the first place, but we COULD send to the guy at Verizon Wireless (because we typed in his number directly.) I'm wondering if somehow the parentheses data is somehow being synced back to the phone.
We've reported the situation to Verizon's Wireless Data Technical Support team, who thanked us for the information. (Direct quote: "Awesome.")
Reports of Motorola Droids Not Sending MMS
Posted by Dan Hughes Categories: Cell Phones, Google, Handhelds
Update: It looks like we've found the culprit - How to fix the Motorola DROID MMS bug.
It seems to be few and far between at this point, but stemming from an unfortunate first-hand series of events, we've investigated and found a few unhappy Verizon Wireless Motorola Droid customers out there who are experiencing an annoying problem: MMS' are being sent and being rejected with the error message: "You have entered an invalid address."
The problem seems to be intermittent and with no discernable pattern. Reports show customers who are inflicted with the problem are unable to send to certain numbers but are able to send to others. Our first-hand experience involved attempting to send pictures to a quarter of the address book before giving up and calling tech support. Oddly enough, the first successful picture message sent on this particular Droid went to the guy from Verizon's Wireless Data Technical Support team who was helping us to fix the problem. We were able to receive MMS from the numbers we tried, but failed receiving from another of Verizon's Customer Support reps.
Posts on Android's and Motorola's support forums found that there was no workaround yet, but some of those who swapped out for a new Droid had no problems with the new phone.
Is anyone else having this problem? Verizon, Motorola, and Google definitely have not spoken up yet, so we don't know how many people are calling about the problem, but there are a few out there. For all we know, it could be a small glitch. Drop a comment and let us know.

Motorola DROID review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Features, Google, Handhelds, Product Reviews, Videos
The Motorola DROID is a symbol of change, for a bunch of different reasons. The fact is, the DROID is a Motorola phone, exclusive to Verizon Wireless, and runs Android 2.0. There is major significance for each of those three bullet points, and that's not even getting into the actual device. In many ways, the DROID is something new for all three companies involved, which is likely why the three worked to closely together on getting the device just right. So the question is, did they succeed? We've had the device for about a week now, and we've been playing with it non-stop for the most part. We know what you're probably wondering—how does the DROID stand up to the iPhone? Is Android 2.0 actually better than what we've seen from the platform on other devices? Does the Verizon network really make a difference?
We've got all the answers for you in our Motorola DROID review, so sit back, and read on for our take.

Video: A look at Android 2.0
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Software, Videos
Google has released a video that shows off all the new Android 2.0 features. Of course, Android 2.0 is what powers the Motorola Droid. A few of the highlights:
- Android 2.0 can pull in contacts from multiple sources, and supports two-way syncing. There is a new feature called Quick Contact, that shows you just about every way you can possibly contact someone when you tap their user icon.
- Apps will now be able to turn on Bluetooth to set up connections with other devices
- Android 2.0 supports multiple screen resolutions. In the video, we see an application running at 800x480 and 854x480, as an example
Definitely some good stuff here. Color us excited.
Palm Pixi launches on Sprint on November 15 for $99
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Corporate News, Handhelds
Right on time, Palm and Sprint have finally made their plans for the Palm Pixi public. In case you didn't know the Pixi is just the second device from Palm that runs their webOS operating system (the first being the Palm Pre.) On November 15th, you'll be able to pick up a Pixi from Sprint stores, RadioShack, Best Buy, and Walmart for a cool $99.99 after $50 instant rebate, and $100 mail-in rebate. So, really, you'll need $200 in the back if you want to cop one of these on day one. Yeah, we agree with what we know you're thinking - what is Palm smoking that gives them the confidence that they can sell this phone for $100, when the much more powerful Pre can be had for $150? We'd love to find out, because we expected to see this one launch at $49-79, but hey, we aren't Palm.
Anyone gonna pick this one up?

Intermediate District 287 opened the doors of its North Education Center in late August 2012. And as the building eases into its plot in northern New Hope, the students and staff are settling in with it.
The almost $30 million development accommodates nearly 450 students on the former site of the Hosterman Education Center at 5530 Zealand Avenue North.
NEC was constructed to replace the outdated Hosterman in efforts to create an environment specifically tailored to meet the needs of 287's students.
Supt. Sandy Lewandowski said staff and students are learning how the building can meet educational and social needs in a climate that hosts multiple learning center programs.
"It was a lot of changing; new people, new staff, new kids being around each other," Lewandowski said. "Really, I think, things are pretty well stable now. Staff especially are growing in their fondness for the building and the opportunities it provides the kids."
The center hosts a dozen different programs for special education students and students at risk of not graduating.
Kids of various ages and learning levels can come together and access hands-on experiential career tech opportunities such as a culinary program, certified nursing assistant program and working at "Jitterbug Latte," an onsite coffee shop. Students can go through these programs, graduate and have a boost toward future careers.
The culinary program on the second floor of the NEC features a full commercially designed kitchen where students can learn cooking skills first-hand.
And Jitterbug Latte was built as a commercial-type café on the first floor that allows kids to work in a shop similar to a larger retail operation.
"Students can get a lot of work experience right here in the building," said Lewandowski. "That's one of the features we had planned for from the beginning."
The center's staff is at about 250 strong. Lewandowski said the level of experience the staff brings to NEC is one of the aspects that makes the center unique.
She said the building has a "critical mass" of experts where many teachers are very specialized in specific behavioral needs.
"If we get a very challenging student profile, and we have to figure out how to meet that student's needs, we can tap into a lot of different kinds of experts in this building," she said.
The building itself also helps to provide for students with different behavioral disabilities.
One program, "Students with Unique Needs," serves some of the most complex learners, many with a severe autism component to their disabilities. Lewandowski said their behavior can escalate when they are frightened, and NEC has respectful and effective features to calm a student should they need it.
The rooms in the program have a number of large swings that can help calm them through motor activity. Each room also has calming rooms where, should behaviors escalate, a teacher can guide them to to relax and feel safe.
NEC has more innovative features, including extra-wide hallways, to allow for students in wheelchairs or pedaling large tricycles, and the walls of the classrooms can be moved and reorganized to fit the specific needs of each semester's curriculum.
Aside from the customization to match academic needs, the center has a large number of sustainable building features and was built with modern and sensible development techniques.
"There are just so many more options with this building," Lewandowski said. "I think that we're able to provide more of a customized, individual approach students because of the facility and the amount of space that is available to us."
NEC also features a nursery for infants, a large gymnasium that can be split three ways, a media center, playgrounds and sensory rooms. It was built with around 90 percent interest-free federal building bonds.
Lewandowski said the building has been in the works for more than a decade and was designed collaboratively. She said that while looking around the country for ideas, it became apparent that what District 287 was planning to build would be special in how it serves its students.
"We really found that we had to figure a lot of it out ourselves," she said. "There just weren't a lot of other places similar to what we had in mind. My guess is, we're pretty unique in this regard."
She continued to say that the NEC represents a step forward in the way special education is delivered, a step that provides more possibilities for students and a more positive and enriching environment.
"My early days were in special education teaching, where kids were just coming into the mainstream," she said. "For a lot of decades, special education students were in the back hallways or the dark back room. For me, this is such a symbol of the advances in that education, and in having respectful environ-ments customized for special education needs. It's a learning opportunity for everybody, and one that will expand everybody's options."
District 287 serves students from the following member districts: Brooklyn Center, Eden Prairie, Edina, Hopkins, Minnetonka, Osseo, Orono, Richfield, Robbinsdale, St. Louis Park, Wayzata and Westonka.

Lazio hopes in balance after draw with Dinamo
BERLIN, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Nine-man Lazio had to settle for a 1-1 draw at home to Dinamo Bucharest on Tuesday, leaving their hopes of a return to the group phase of the Champions League in the balance.
Valencia made all but certain of their ticket to the main event with a 3-0 win over Swedish champions Elfsborg but otherwise the home favourites had to work hard in third qualifying round, first leg games.
Benfica snatched a 2-1 win over FC Copenhagen in Lisbon when Rui Costa scored his second of the night four minutes from time.
Rangers left it even later to grab a 1-0 victory at home to former European champions Red Star Belgrade, with Nacho Novo pouncing on a loose ball to supply the winner in the last minute.
The other 12 first leg matches in the third and final qualifying round are being played on Wednesday. The second legs are set for Aug. 28 and 29.
The match between Lazio and Dinamo Bucharest was marred by clashes between fans before kickoff. Two Dinamo fans were stabbed and three more injured, the ANSA news agency reported.
Lazio, trying to get back into the group stage for the first time since 2003-04, fell behind to a 22nd minute header from Ionel Danciulescu.
Tommaso Rocchi missed the chance to equalise from the penalty spot in the 38th minute but Lazio got a deserved equaliser when Massimo Mutarelli headed home a Lorenzo De Silvestri cross early in the second half.
Lazio finished the game with nine men after Valon Behrami was sent off for a dangerous two-footed challenge and Mutarelli received a second yellow card. Dinamo's Lucian Goian got a red card for a second booking in added time.
Benfica, twice former European Cup winners, were heading for a similarly disappointing result at home to Copenhagen before Costa's late second goal.
Costa had given his side the lead with a 25-metre shot midway through the first half only for Atiba Hutchinson to equalise 11 minutes later.
Four minutes from the end Costa delighted the 56,000 supporters at Luz stadium with another shot from outside the area to give Benfica victory from a match that saw American teenager Freddy Adu make his debut as a first-half substitute.
Valencia took an early lead in a much easier game against Elfsborg with a close-range shot from Vicente.
The Champions League runners-up in 2000 and 2001 gave themselves breathing space in the 59th minute when Joaquin swept a fine curling cross in from the right and David Silva got between two defenders to nod home.
Joaquin repeated the trick 19 minutes from time, this time supplying the cross for Fernando Morientes to head in.

Breast Feeding
Pre birth milk
I am due today but I am not in labor yet, this is my first baby and I plan to breast feed. My breast were begining to burn, so i took the advice of my best friend and squeezed some out.
At first it was clear with a yellow tent, which I know is normal, but after a few seconds of doing that, a few squeezes, I noticed that it looked bloody. It was clear with a few blood looking spots mixed in it, Should I be worried, and is there any thing wronge? Please let me know A.S.A.P.
You must be very ready to have your baby and I am glad you are planning to breast feed. I am sorry to hear your breasts are so uncomfortable right now.
To answer your question, having blood tinged colostrum is normal in the early stages of breast feeding. As you establish breast feeding with your newborn it should disappear. Please let your medical provider know if it continues or gets worse.
Please be careful as you massage and manipulate your breasts and nipples before you have your infant. Handling or massaging your breasts or rolling your nipples is known to release oxytocin which will stimulate contractions. If you do it too much you could get a large release of oxytocin which could make for a long contraction and might harm you baby. So, please only minimally manipulate your breasts and nipples until after you baby is born.
I wish you the best in your labor, delivery, and new parenthood.

Innovation Economics Can Fight Global Warming
The U.S. House of Representatives may be on the verge of passing the most significant environmental measure since 1990. The bill, named for its sponsors, representatives Howard A. Waxman (D-Calif.) and Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), would for the first time impose caps on carbon dioxide emissions, which contribute to global warming. It also would allow companies to buy credits from each other, permitting them to exceed their greenhouse gas limits.
While the so-called cap-and-trade mechanism (or some kind of carbon pricing) is needed, it isn't enough. To really avert climate change, the government needs to adopt an explicitly green innovation policy. Unfortunately, green innovation is getting short shrift in this bill and in Washington generally.
Four prevailing doctrines shape U.S. economic policy today: Keynesian economics; two versions of neoclassical economics (conservative supply-side economics and liberal "Rubinomics"); and the new kid on the block, "innovation economics," about which BusinessWeek Chief Economist Michael Mandel wrote a cover story last September.
Both conservative and liberal neoclassicists oppose any government allocation of scarce goods and services. They prefer a market tool such as emissions trading that would set a price… Read the rest
Divorce Washington at Your Peril, Silicon Valley
Washington, D.C. and Silicon Valley are separated by 3,000 miles and vastly different cultures. But if the Valley itself and, more broadly, the U.S. economy are to thrive, then Washington and Silicon Valley need to appreciate each other more than they currently do. From my perch inside the Beltway, I'd like to offer some words of advice for the Valley.
First, I salute your entrepreneurial and organic spirit. It has helped transform the world and create jobs and wealth. But while Washington doesn't always understand what Silicon Valley does or needs, you need to abandon the myth that Washington had nothing to do with your creation.
Remember: the Internet emerged from the Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). Oracle got started doing work for the Central Intelligence Agency and Intel sold much of its early output to the Pentagon.

Cybersecurity Challenge Calls for Multilevel Plan
On Friday, May 29, the Obama administration announced the results of the 60-day review on cybersecurity conducted by Melissa Hathaway and laid out new priorities for cybersecurity.
Overall, the report delivers a solid overview of the current challenges and presents next steps for grappling with them. Key portions of this strategy include creating a "Cyber Czar" to oversee national cybersecurity initiatives; public-private partnerships to better share data and resources; efforts to create and retain a skilled cybersecurity work force; and plans to increase public awareness of cybersecurity threats and challenges.
The report's near-term action plan also includes updating the national strategy to secure cyberspace; developing a framework for additional research and development of security technology; and preparing a cybersecurity incident response plan.
The fact that the Obama administration is making this a priority speaks volumes about the growing need to secure our critical infrastructure. With two wars, a growing nuclear threat from North Korea, and a still-struggling economy, the President already has more than enough to keep him busy. But many important policy objectives of this administration rely on digital infrastructure — from modernizing the healthcare system with electronic medical… Read the rest

ENCINITAS —— North County residents will be able to take a passport-free trip to the Greek Isles this weekend during the 27th annual Greek Festival at the Sts. Constantine and Helen Orthodox Church.
A culturally rich event under blue and white tents, the festival will feature traditional Greek music, dancing, crafts, imports and delicacies that the Mediterranean culture is renowned for. Parish council President Jeannie Ranglas said the Greeks know about hospitality.
"You feel good when you arrive, and you'll feel good when you leave," Ranglas said. "You become Greek for a day."
The festival runs from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday. Admission to the festival is $2 for adults and free for children.
Although festivalgoers won't find any classical remains of temples, they will get a sense of Greece's scenery under the shadow of the Byzantine-style church and its golden dome, as well as from the surrounding landscape of olive and pine trees.
As the annual festival draws near, parish members have been spending their days in the church's kitchen, making hundreds upon hundreds of pounds of food, from traditional sweets and appetizers, to cuisine for the combination dinner plate that draws many members of the typically 10,000-plus crowd who visit the festival every year.
Dinner costs $12 per plate for a heaping pile of goodies that includes souvlakia, a pork shish kebab; spanakopita, a type of spinach pie; pastitsio, the Greek version of lasagna; stuffed grape leaves; rice; salad and kouloura —— Greek bread.
Festivalgoers will also be able to purchase olives, feta and other cheeses, as well as eggplant dishes from the festival's Greek deli, and desserts and coffee from its temporary cafe.
With six volunteers by his side, John Pipinos, a parish member who belongs to one of the church's founding families, has prepared about 4,500 orders of pastitsio for the festival. That's about 1,000 pounds of meat and pasta and more than 150 gallons of bechamel sauce.
He said food is a very important part of the Greek lifestyle, and putting together the large order every year is one way of showing hospitality.
"We go to great lengths because it's a big part of our culture," Pipinos said. "Nobody ever leaves empty-handed, and nobody ever leaves with an empty stomach. We want to set the table for our visitors and give them the best we have to offer."
While the food is a big crowd pleaser, eating isn't the only attraction, Ranglas said. "The Olympians," a five-piece Greek band, will play Greek music throughout the day. Four teams of Greek folk dancers, ranging in age from 3 to 18 years old, will perform in traditional costumes that originated from several of the country's populated islands.
Visitors will be able to take free lessons from an instructor before making their way onto the dance floor.
"We truly involve our guests and invite them to enjoy this Greek culture and this festive atmosphere," Ranglas said.
Carnival games also will be featured at the church grounds, where every child will win a prize, and at 5 p.m. each day, participants will be able to purchase items in a live auction. Proceeds benefit the church and its programs.
Those interested in taking a look inside of the Saints Constantine and Helen Orthodox Church can participate in one of two tours starting at 1 and 4 p.m. each day, led by Father Theodore Phillips.
The church is at 3459 Manchester Ave. Parking can be found in the adjacent MiraCosta College campus parking lot.
For more information call the church office (760) 942-0920 or visit www.stsconstantinehelen.com.

Henry Clouse
Henry Marvin Clouse "Hank" was born in Reading, PA. to Mason I. and Anna (Richards) Clouse on April 13, 1922. He was the youngest child of six children. He passed away peacefully on October 15, 2013 at age 91. He was a Tucson resident for 48 years. After high school Henry became an apprentice pattern maker for Reading Hardware. In 1943, he talked the doctor into passing him on the physical, despite having no vision in one eye due to amblyopia, and proudly enlisted in the army to serve in WWII. He qualified for the highly selective Army Specialized Training Program and took accelerated engineering courses at Brooklyn College. Later as a PFC in an anti-tank platoon in Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 291st Regiment, 75th Infantry Division; he fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Returning home in 1946, Henry enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh using the GI Bill and graduated with a degree in Industrial Engineering. In Pittsburgh on a blind date he met the love of his life and future wife of 60 years, Millie Walter, and proposed to her two weeks later. He worked for Yale & Towne lock makers in Levittown, PA., Allis-Chalmers (Tractor Division) in Milwaukee, Martin Marietta in Denver, North American Aviation in Tulsa, and for the US Civil Service (Electronic Proving Ground and STRATCOM) at Ft. Huachuca, AZ. Much of his engineering career focused on budgeting and efficiency. Henry enjoyed playing tennis in his younger years. His interests included American history, particularly the Civil War. Vacation car trips centered on taking the family to national parks and historic sites. In retirement he spent many hours researching Richards/Clouse/Walter family genealogy. He loved reunions and made the most of his airline frequent flyer miles by traveling to grade school, high school, 75th Army Division, and family reunions. He tracked down and encouraged others to attend. In May 1997 Henry returned to his hometown of Reading, PA. to dedicate a bronze plaque in Charles Evans Cemetery, commemorating all the boys from his neighborhood that died in World War II. Henry will be remembered for his love of family, his energy, his wit, and his storytelling. His remarkable memory for details of events that had occurred decades earlier embellished his reminiscences. He was predeceased by his wife, Mildred. Survivors include his daughter, Jamie Alice Clouse and her husband, Steven Ron Walker; his son, Lawrence Henry Clouse and his wife, Janet Underwood Clouse and their daughter, Arielle Marie Clouse. A Memorial Service will be held Monday, December 16, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at BRING'S BROADWAY CHAPEL, 6910 E. Broadway, Tucson, AZ. Interment will follow at Southern AZ Veterans' Memorial Cemetery, Sierra Vista, AZ., at 3:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Casa de la Luz Hospice Foundation, 7740 N. Oracle Road, Tucson, AZ. 85704, www.casafoundation.org.

Modelling Sovereign Bond Yield Curves of the US, Japan and Germany
The movement of sovereign yields is important for both investment and risk management. In this paper, we apply a method that was first developed by Diebold et al (2006b) to model the sovereign bond yield curves of the US, Japan and Germany. By including observable macroeconomic variables and the latent factors of the yield curve, we find evidence of strong interaction between the yield curve and macro variables in the US and Germany but not in Japan. We also estimate the dynamic conditional correlations of the latent factors to reveal cross-country correlations of the bond markets.

Listing of the Day: 120 Puritan Avenue
This house at 120 Puritan Avenue features many things we love about Forest Hills Gardens homes: a Tudor facade, a green leafy yard, and details like hardwood floors and stained glass. A new owner may feel tempted to take out some of the wallpaper and carpeting, but otherwise the house looks like it is in decent shape. It's asking $2,150,000, which seems high considering the upgrades it'll need. 40 Markwood Place sold recently for $2,320,000, but that home rocked some pretty impressive details.

I don't like April Fool's Day. It's not that I don't like a good joke so much as most of the April Fool's fodder tends to fall well short of being humorous.
Last March, there was a little buzz around the "Miracle Machine." This whatzit was supposed to turn tap water, and some added ingredients, into quality wine in three days. To be fair, several mainstream news organizations did quickly peg this as a hoax.
I didn't write about the so-called Miracle Machine in part because it was pitched as a consumer appliance which falls a bit outside my usual area of interest. The main reason I didn't cover it was simply because I couldn't figure out how such a contraption could possibly work as advertised. At best, it would have to be an update to the Prohibition-era "Grape Brick" or a grossly over-price home wine-making kit. As such, it hardly seems newsworthy except in the "look at this gizmo that won't perform as well as you want it to" sense.
Now that April Fool's Day is here, it has been revealed (again) that the Miracle Machine is what one may call a pious fraud or publicity stunt aimed at garnering attention for Wine to Water, a non-profit aid organization. The fact that the media, myself included, are covering this story again now that the Miracle Machine has been revealed as a hoax means that Water to Wine got the attention they wanted.
I can't help thinking that all this publicity stunt accomplished was to demonstrate that more people were interested in an impossible wine-machine than are interested in making sure that other people have access to clean water.

Many people are intimidated by wine's subtle flavors and endless varieties, but did you know that it's actually just juice made from vodka-infused grapes? Learn other things my cousin told me about with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options:
- $19 for personalized in-home wine tasting for four with complimentary $25 bottle of wine (a $150 value)
- $29 for personalized in-home wine tasting for eight with complimentary $25 bottle of wine (a $200 value)<p>
A knowledgeable wine consultant arrives at homes toting hand-selected bottles from suppliers such as California's Golden Grape Estate and Hungary's Pieroth Winery. Consultants pour four different wines for parties of four, while groups of eight taste six varietals. Guests can then purchase any of the sampled wines, and hosts receive a $25 bottle of wine courtesy of PRP Wine International. This deal is valid for homes in Ft. Myers, Naples, Tallahassee, Sarasota, Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Lakeland.
PRP Wine International
Equipped with in-depth product knowledge and bottles from all over the world, the consultants of PRP Wine International waltz into homes ready to answer nearly any question a novice oenophile may have. As they pour samples for small groups, they explain everything from the intricacies of flavor profiles and the correct pronunciation of "pinot noir" to the most dramatic way to throw a glass of red at a mortal enemy. After tastings, guests can select any of the wine varietals sampled, all of which are chosen by PRP consultants after thorough scrutiny.

Eurostar is a train service that connects London (Waterloo station) with Paris (Gare du Nord), Lille and Brussels (Brussel Zuid station). Trains cross the English Channel via the Channel Tunnel, or "Chunnel". In Southern England, a new railway line has been built to the same high-speed LGV standards used in France. The two-phase Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL) project has been partially in operation since 2003, reducing times to and from London Waterloo. Eurostar have announced that upon completion of the CTRL into London St. Pancras, the finished railway will be branded as High Speed 1 to the public from 2007-11-14 onwards. From 2003, the journey time from London to Paris has been 2 hours 35 minutes with London to Brussels slightly faster at 2 hours 20 minutes. In November 2007, times from London to the Channel Tunnel will be cut by 20 minutes, when the construction of the full CTRL is complete. CTRL Section 2 (CTRL2) will bring the British portion of the route up to the same standards as the French and Belgian LGV high-speed sections, allowing 300km/h running. Works about to finish near Brussels Zuid will additionally provide a 4 minute improvement for all Brussels-bound services. Completion of the dedicated rail link on the British side will allow a significant potential increase in the number of Eurostar trains serving London. Grade separation of the CTRL from UK domestic railway services through Kent, means that timetabling for Eurostar train paths will be unaffected by peak hour restrictions. After CTRL2 is completed, up to eight trains per hour in each direction will be able to travel from London to the continent, moving the bottleneck in capacity to the Channel Tunnel itself.

Suspects in home invasion claim they were robbing stash house
Sat, 18 Feb 2012 00:27:41 GMT —
Three men are behind bars and each are charged with two counts of criminal attempted capital murder.
The charges are in connection to a Wednesday home invasion north of Palmview.
However these men did not pull the trigger.
Wednesday Victor Casillas and three other men reportedly tried robbing a home north of Palmview.
When deputies arrived at the scene, they say Casillas shot at them.
Casillas was killed when deputies shot back and these three other men are left to deal with the attempted murder charges.
The Hidalgo County Sheriff's Department said Enrique Martinez went with Casillas to rob the home while Jose Garza and Robert Morales kept watch outside.
Sheriff Lupe Trevino said even though they did not shoot at his deputies, the law of parties makes it so any accomplice to the criminal can also be held liable.
"Now on the attempted capital murder, since they were all together in the entire conspiracy, anybody that assisted them is also going to be held liable or responsible for the attempted capital murder of our deputies when they took deliberate shots at pursuing deputies." said Trevino.
All three men were also charged with aggravated robbery.
They each received a bond of two and a half million dollars.
These men told deputies they were looking for over 300 pounds of pot inside that home.
The sheriff's department said at this time they have no evidence to support the home was a stash house.
No deputies were injured in the shooting.

The murder yesterday of Ronan Kerr, a Catholic PSNI officer, by violent Republicans has brought condemnation from across the political spectrum and left many asking who could believe that the seemingly arbitrary killing of unarmed police officers could advance the cause of Irish unity. The blame for this violence has often been pinned on a 'blood lust' and those responsible have been accused of having 'no strategy'. Although it is true that these groups maintain that violent resistance is a duty (post to follow in the coming days on the ideology of violent Republicans), this violence is not arbitrarily applied.
Anti Good Friday Agreement Republican's see the GFA as an attempt to 'normalise' British rule in Ireland, with the replacement of the RUC with the PSNI, a cosmetic change designed to 'trick' Catholics into accepting, and indeed, enforcing 'foreign rule'. In an interview with the Irish News in 2010, Óglaigh na hÉireann stated that their strategy is to 'expose the myth of normalisation'. The killing of Ronan Kerr is an attempt to enact this strategy.
Attacking PSNI officers generally, and Catholic officers specifically, serves two main purposes. The first of these is an attempt to derail 'normalisation' through turning the PSNI into a 'force under fire', like the RUC before it. A police force under constant threat of death has great difficulty acting in a normal fashion and engaging with the communities it hopes to Police. The second reason the attack on Constable Kerr is significant, like the previous attempt on the life of Constable Peadar Heffron, is that these officers were Catholics. It is much harder to portray the PSNI as a Colonial Militia when Irish speaking GAA captains such as Constable Heffron are a part of that force; as such the targeting of Catholics is intended to discourage Catholics from joining the PSNI and to again turn policing in the North into the sole preserve of Protestants. This attempt to undermine the legitimacy and cross community nature of the PSNI and link it to the distrusted RUC also has a political element. Non violent anti Good Friday Agreement groups such as éirígí oppose the PSNI and distribute posters and leaflets which read 'Different name, same aim'.
A long running tactic of Armed Republican groups has been to garner support from within the nationalist community through a tough line on drug dealers and 'hoods', carrying out punishment shootings and beatings. An effective PSNI which deals adequately with crime blocks this potential avenue of support, making it all the more necessary for anti GFA Republicans to undermine the PSNI and ensure that the priorities of the force shift away from dealing with every day criminal issues towards tackling violent groups. This could potentially manifest itself through the PSNI making the same mistakes as the RUC before it, recruiting petty criminals and drug dealers from within the Nationalist community as informants, turning a blind eye to their actions in exchange for information on Republicans.
If this strategy of undoing 'normalisation' succeeds, the next steps seem less important, one member of IR.NET, a popular Republican forum, crudely summed up the position as follows:
[T]he feeling of the war will be everywhere once again and the spirit of Irish republicanism will spark in many of them, this is how we got some of the greatest volunteers during the conflict.
Violent Republicans kill to engender a reaction from the establishment, to bring Ireland back to the 'troubles'. To over militarise the response to this killing, and those that will inevitably occur in the future, would be to play right into their hands.

Hi, Linux Network Gurus, Please help this novice
Hey all,
I have a Linux machine at gateway at home, it acts as a gateway to by home network.
It has eth0 and eth1, eth1 is connected to adsl router ( and i have ppp0 ) and eth0 is connected to a d-link 8 port 10/100 Unmanaged switch.
I do port forwarding through ip-tables and use this setup, to access internet form my subnets machines. all the machines in this subnets ( 3 of them were Linux )
but, last week i unplugged everything and did the following :
ADSL ROUTER ----> eth1(linux-gateway)
eth0(linuxx gateway) ---> dlink unmanaged switch
eth0(solaris 10 ) ---> unmanaged switch.
able to ping form linux-gateway-->solaris10 and vice versa
trace route gets the route with very first hop,
But all other services like ssh, telnet and ftp etc, just hangs at prompt and throws connection timed out.
Now the problem is that i can Ping solaris 10 form linux-gateway, and vice versa.
[chandan@chandan-gateway ~]$ ping 192.168.10.10
PING 192.168.10.10 (192.168.10.10) 56(84) bytes of data.

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.143/0.186/0.345/0.080 ms
But when i try to run any other network service like ssh, telnet, it ends up in a connection timeout.
So thinking it may be because of firewall or something, i even disabled firewall on both the machines.
still no go, and still i end up with the same connection timeout.
a sample with ssh follows, note that i get the same error for telnet or any other service like ftp etc.
[chandan@chandan-gateway ~]$ ssh -vvv 192.168.10.10

ssh: connect to host 192.168.10.10 port 22: Connection timed out
Can anyone guide me whats wrong and how do i correct this, This is actually hurting me lot, I used to do lot of testing activity, on my home network and used to connect form office very often, but now i am stuck.
Please help me guys, Await for you guidance.
-- Chandan
how about simple ping? traceroute? tcpdump?
and did you really turn off the firewall?
service running?
Hi, Thanks for reply.
Yep it pings, and ping from both sides work well.
Trace route works well, and gets the route in a single hop as expected.
but apart from these all other services are timing out.

We know it was a cold February in Tucson - the snow in town last week tipped us off - but now the National Weather Service has tabulated the frigid facts.
The cold truth: The average temperature in Tucson last month was 50.9 degrees - a chilly 4.4 degrees below the normal February average temperature of 55.3 degrees.
"That's a huge difference" when considering the average temperature over an entire month, said John Glueck, senior meteorologist with the National Weather Service.
Glueck noted that the final reading for last month's average temperature could even slip one-tenth of a degree - to 50.8 degrees - depending on temperature changes in the final hours of Thursday evening.
But whatever the exact final reading, "it's definitely been much colder" than normal, Glueck said.
That cold trend goes back to January as well, when icy weather - including a low of 17 degrees on Jan. 15 - pushed that month's average temperature 2.8 degrees below normal.
What pushed the average temperatures for January and February well below normal levels?
"Normally, when winter storms come into the area, they're around for about two days and then it warms back up again," Glueck said. "But this year, it was much more persistent" - with cold weather lingering in the area for several days or more.
But here's the thing: This February wasn't the coldest ever in Tucson.
The coldest February on record had an average temperature of 45.3 degrees in 1903, Glueck said. "We're not even close to that this year."
The weather service is forecasting highs of 70 to 75 degrees today - with temperatures topping out around 80 on Saturday and Sunday.
"We are expecting a warm-up over the next seven days, but there is actually another system that may bring us colder air next weekend - nine or 10 days from now," said weather service meteorologist J.J. Brost.
Many Tucsonans are wondering when it will be OK to begin pruning frost-damaged plants.
A conservative approach would be to wait until mid-March to be sure the worst of the winter cold is over, said Jon Childers, a horticulture adviser at Mesquite Valley Growers.
"But you could do some pruning in the next couple of weeks," Childers said. "We're close enough to the cold being completely over. If we get another freeze, it probably wouldn't be a prolonged freeze. Unfortunately, none of us has a crystal ball."

Hey Nineteen
In Friday's column, I reviewed the results of a stock screen that focused on profitable small-cap value companies holding healthy amounts of cash, which I ran last January. Although there were just a handful of companies meeting the criteria, the average returns were decent, beating the relevant benchmarks handily. But with just six names making the cut, the true effectiveness of this screen is inconclusive, at least for 2011. That being said, it is worthy of another test for 2012.
As a recap, the screen is designed to identify smaller companies that are trading at reasonable price-to-earnings (PE) multiples and have great liquidity, ample amounts of cash and low levels of price-to-book ratios. Here are the specific screening criteria, which are unaltered from last year's screen:...335 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

AlturaSolutions pushes social media for the JanSan industry
July 28, 2009
CHICAGO — AlturaSolutions Communications Inc., a Chicago-based communications company serving clients in the professional cleaning and building industries, announces its new social media marketing practice, allowing it to better serve clients through the use of new social media venues such sites as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, StumbleUpon and others, according to a press release.
Consumer-focused companies have been very successful using these new mediums, and now business-to-business companies, including many in the JanSan industry, are benefiting from them as well, the release stated.
AlturaSolutions President Robert Kravitz said: "The focus with social media sites is not necessarily to just ''talk to'' site visitors, but to ''engage in'' a helpful dialogue with them. This includes both supporters and critics of a company and its products. These people in turn become third-party endorsers [of a company] by providing word-of-mouth recommendations on social media websites, which can be very powerful. This will supplement advertising and traditional public relations, but we can expect [social media marketing] to grow significantly in the coming months."
AlturaSolutions is also developing its own social media "dashboard" tool to get people talking about their clients and their products, the release noted.
