Ongoing Environmental Opportunities (Seasonal)
Storm Drain Marking - Summer
Many people do not know that our storm drains flow directly to our lake, river, and stream without treatment. The City needs volunteers to place markers next to storm drains to remind people to "Dump no Waste." The markers use a strong adhesive, so we ask that an adult assist volunteers less than 16 years of age with this activity. Markers must be placed during warm, dry conditions in order for the adhesive to set properly.

Almost a decade before the health-care website's failed debut, the Air Force began a project to replace 240 outdated networks with a single logistics system.
After spending about $1 billion, the program led by Computer Sciences Corp. collapsed last year. Sens. Carl Levin and John McCain described it as "one of the most egregious examples of mismanagement in recent memory."
The list of federal information-technology lapses and flops includes systems to modernize air-traffic control and to secure the nation's border, and now even President Obama is wondering why the government can't get it right.
"How we purchase technology in the federal government is cumbersome, complicated and outdated," Obama said Nov. 14 at a press conference, remarks he echoed Tuesday.
"You're going through, you know, 40 pages of specs and this and that and the other and there's all kinds of law involved," he said Nov. 14. "It's part of the reason why, chronically, federal IT programs are over budget, behind schedule."
What the Air Force and healthcare.gov systems had in common were unclear requirements, according to contracting and technology specialists. Projects from a border surveillance program to an FBI case-filing system also have failed because of late changes, a lack of oversight, cost overruns and an emphasis on deadlines rather than the flexibility to let big, complex projects evolve, they said.
"They try to force these IT projects through the same kind of process they use to buy desks and staples," Chris Kemerer, a professor of information systems at the University of Pittsburgh, said in an interview. "The problem is, IT systems are never completely off-the-shelf."
The health-insurance website didn't get exhaustive testing and had undergone late changes before it was unveiled Oct. 1 to a public that found it difficult to use. Its initial failure gave ammunition to critics of the Affordable Care Act, the law that set up what critics and supporters alike call Obamacare.
Units of CGI Group and UnitedHealth Group, both behind the design of healthcare.gov, told lawmakers the government was responsible for testing that should have been done months earlier.
CGI said it got late instructions from the government to make changes to the site. The agency responsible for the website didn't give CGI final technical requirements until May, according to one person familiar with the project. About a third of the work the contractor had previously performed had to be thrown out and started over as a result, the person said.
Marilyn Tavenner, who heads the Health and Human Services Department's Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, cited "some issues with on-time delivery" by Montreal-based CGI.
Contractors and federal agencies frequently don't communicate well about the scope of government projects, said Mark Amtower, who runs a consulting firm in Clarksville, Md. He compared the process to a game of telephone, in which messages get increasingly garbled as they pass through different people.
In addition, agency officials typically aren't willing to take a chance on lesser-known companies that might do a better job, he said.
"Nobody ever gets fired for buying IBM," Amtower said in a phone interview. "And nobody gets fired for buying Northrop Grumman, Lockheed, General Dynamics or any of the other top contractors."
Big technology failures aren't limited to the federal government. Large projects are typically handled by multiple companies, or multiple groups within a company, Michael Cusumano, a professor of management and engineering systems at the MIT Sloan School of Management in Cambridge, Mass., said in an interview. In troubled projects, workers make changes that aren't adequately coordinated, he said.
"They make changes in an attempt to improve what you're building," Cusumano said. "Inevitably, they don't sync up." The result: two-thirds or more of large IT projects are late or over budget, he said.
Unlike private industry, though, federal agencies are wasting billions of dollars in taxpayer funds.
The U.S. government has spent more than $600 billion on information technology over the past decade, and "has achieved little of the productivity improvements that private industry has realized from IT," the U.S. Government Accountability Office said in a July report.
The Air Force's Expeditionary Combat Support System, for example, already had cost $1 billion, and the fixes would have cost about the same amount.
The network, which would have been used by 250,000 people, was intended to provide the service with a single, integrated logistics system for tracking transportation, supply, maintenance, repair, engineering and acquisition.
Computer Sciences, a Falls Church, Va.-based contractor, served as the lead contractor and systems integrator. Given extra time to develop an initial pilot project, it still failed to complete the task, according to a March report by the GAO.
"CSC developed and provided to the Air Force foundational capabilities and IT assets for implementing a logistics software system in the future," Heather Williams, a company spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. "We believe that the progress we made, jointly with the Air Force, and the software we have delivered could be the foundation for the next effort to develop and deploy a logistics system for the Air Force."
The Air Force took some responsibility for the project's demise. There was a lack of an adequate acquisition process to handle a complex program with "nebulous requirements," Lt. Gen. Charles Davis, the service's top uniformed acquisition official, said in a January interview.
The Air Force system is among 15 information technology projects killed by the federal government since 2003, according to a list compiled by the GAO.
The casualties include a remake of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's case-filing system that had poorly defined requirements and limited oversight. It ended in 2005 after three years and $170 million in spending.
An attempt to use surveillance technology to help secure the border also failed to deliver. Chicago-based Boeing received about $1.3 billion for the work beginning in 2006, according to data compiled by Bloomberg Government.
The Department of Homeland Security didn't properly oversee Boeing, the government's No. 2 contractor, resulting in "costly rework" and contributing to the program's "history of not delivering promised capabilities and benefits on time and within budget," according to a 2010 GAO report.
At the Federal Aviation Administration, a $438 million replacement of air-traffic computers went over budget and risked being delayed in part because the agency didn't complete technical requirements or follow its own rules for setting completion schedules, an auditor found in May.
In 2003, a database with initial funding of $36.8 million debuted to track foreign students with visas, according to the Justice Department's inspector general.
Schools reported that the system frequently lost data, and immigration forms needed at one school would print out elsewhere.
Some students were barred from entering the U.S. because of problems with the system, said Mark Forman, chief executive officer of Government Transaction Services LLC, a technology company based in Vienna, Va.
"It was such a big disaster," said Forman, who served under former President George W. Bush in a position now known as the U.S. chief information officer.
A government official told a House subcommittee in 2003 that the student tracking system was developed and deployed under an aggressive schedule.
The main contractor, Electronic Data Systems Corp., bought by Hewlett-Packard Co. for $13.2 billion in 2008, said it knew the system wasn't properly set up and needed to be fixed before its debut, Forman said. The government didn't listen, he said.
"The government has told a lot of these contractors so many times that 'We don't want to hear what you think, we need you to do what we told you to do and make it work,'" he said. "A lot of the vendors are either fearful, or believe there is no point in telling the government how to do it right."

Smartphone kill switches are coming
Smartphones need kill switches. It's a relatively easy solution to the pricey (and irritating) problem of smartphone theft.

The cooperative spirit! It makes so much sense!

Okay, all we know is we can change the icon's as usual. (Replace the icon.png in the application.app folder.)
But, with the Appstore apps some of them looking strange.
I just found the reason why. In the Info.plist of each installed .app is a line (or not) that says:
if there is no such line in the Info.plist, the icon will be redone on the phone with some gloss and shapes. (to match the other icons.)<key>UIPrerenderedIcon</key>
All you have to do, is add this line to the Info.plist of the icon thats messed up (eg. CBNK3D or HoldEm.) and be happy with the correct custom icon, with no extra gloss & shape.
i hope i could help someppl out here.

Andrew Micah Miller, 29, a resident of Elkins, left this earth to be reunited with his beloved grandmother, Florence Miller and the Lord Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2012, in Davis Memorial Hospital Elkins. Andrew had been courageously fighting a battle against Lupus for more than 10 years.
Andrew was born Wednesday, April 27, 1983, at Elkins, to Sherri Miller Jackson of Elkins.
In addition to his mother, Andrew is survived by his brother, Brandon Jackson of Elkins,; stepfather Jeff Jackson of Elkins; special aunt, Jean Kelley of Elkins; and many cousins, aunts, uncles and friends.
Article Photos
Preceding him in death were his great grandparents the Rev. James Miller and Georgia Miller; maternal grandmother, Florence Miller; and a very special close friend, Pete Robinson.
Andrew graduated from Elkins High School in the class of 2001. He loved to listen to music and hang out with friends. He was an Earnhardt fan and a football fan. His hobbies included hunting, fishing and collecting knives, swords and dragons.
Andrew loved his family and friends and lived life to the fullest knowing that tomorrow was never a guarantee. He was a kind and loving soul and a true friend to anyone who knew him. He will forever be missed by many
Visitation will be conducted Friday, Oct. 19, at Elkins First Church of Christ from 5 until 7 p.m., the funeral hour. Pastor Richard Krug, the Rev. Michael Courtwright and Evangelist Gary Kendall will officiate, and Andrew's request for cremation will then be honored.
The Randolph Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 100 Meadow Lane, Valley Bend has been entrusted with the arrangements for Andrew Micah Miller. Please send online condolences to the family at www.therandolphfuneralhome.com.

The perfect time to throw a fun brunch to honor those special moms in our lives.
Make these cute animal themed gift bags for gift giving this Easter.
With the hottest of the weeks of summer setting in and kids spending more time indoors, it's not uncommon to hear parents wishing for things other than video games and TV to engage them. Without the time constraints put on kids by school schedules and extracurricular activities, summertime is the opportune time to teach them how to cook or if they already have basic cooking skills, to test some new recipes and learn some more advanced skills.
Providing a child with a recipe book for building a collection of their own personal favorites can help them see that their time and efforts in the kitchen are valuable. Not only can they see a compilation of just how many things they are able too cook, they have control over creating their idea of a 5-star menu!
A recipe collection can take many forms from a simple file box of index cards to a file on the computer to a traditional recipe book. For this project, I started with a photo album for 4 inch x 6 inch photos. Many photo albums come with a removable clear protective sleeve that will help prevent food stains from getting on the covers. So you can have a book that's pretty (or cool if you're working with a young boy!) as well as functional.
The book I started with (I invoked my right as a woman to change my mind on the color!) had a window in the cover that was intended for displaying a photo. Instead, I layered scraps of fabric, stamped images, and buttons.
Normally I use fusible web to adhere fabrics to my projects but with a project like this one, which is impractical for ironing on, I use Peel and Stick Fabric Fuse by Therm-O-Web. It's a double sided adhesive that's not going to let go so it's great for projects that are going to be handled a lot.
After adhering a piece of background fabric in the window of the album, I added some stamped embellishments. The owl I used is from the Fiskars Halloween Night stamp set and I used the Green High Density Pigment ink to stamp directly onto a scrap of muslin. The 5 Inch Easy Action Micro-Tip® Titanium Scissors are perfect for cutting around the edges of the small stamped image.
When stamping the letters, I first stamped with yellow and then stamped over it with green and blue. Even though the yellow is too light for the words to be legible, it adds depth those stamped on top of them. I also showed with the cupcake bottom that, just like on paper, stamps can be used on fabrics with a subtle pattern.
Fabric can be difficult to punch so on a project like this, one that won't be washed, using paper is perfect acceptable. These were adhered to the book cover using the Peel and Stick Fabric Fuse by first putting a small square of the adhesive on the back of the patterned paper and then punching through the 2 layers. I was unsure of my placement when I was working on adding the punches and you can see here that I need to go back and press them all down now!
More paper punched shapes added as tiny details.
After finishing the cover, I created divider tabs for the inside using the Recipe Madness stamp set and the Large Round n' Round and Extra Large Seal of Approval Squeeze Punches.
4 inch x 6 inch index cards make convenient and inexpensive recipe cards. They can be dressed up by adding stamped images like those I used from the Recipe Madness stamp set.
Handing over a fun recipe book to a kid is sure to make them want to get started using it right away so be sure to include your favorite cookie recipe to help them out!

Clefable is really unpredictable and that's where its strength lies. There are zero safe counters for him. However, once its set is found out, its average stats across the board will cause difficulties in damaging things effectively. All sets are quite viable for UU play.
Belly Drumming Clefable is quite fun, but not too good since after a Belly Drum its Attack is only 1048. Clefable is also quite slow which makes it hard to take advantage of its super high Attack, so make sure to paralyze some sweepers beforehand, or do it yourself with Thunder Wave. Even if you aren't able to find an opportunity to use Belly Drum, you can still get some random Attack boosts by using Meteor Mash if you picked that. Cosmic Power is an option as well to make this set more tankish: basically you Cosmic Power until you're not taking much damage from the opponent, use Softboiled to recover the damage, Belly Drum up, and start hitting things. If you come across a Ghost or something that can kill you in the long run, Softboiled to full HP, then switch out to come back later and try again.
Standard Calm Mind Clefable, Ice Beam and Thunderbolt are only resisted by Magneton, Lanturn, and Shedinja. It doesn't do much against good Special sponges either. This Clefable's greatest enemy is Toxic. You can Rest it off, but expect to get hit hard physically then by Fearow or Aggron, for example. You can toy around with the EVs: more Special Defense means Calm Mind will make your Special Defense absolutely impregnable by Manectric or other Special Attackers, more Defense means you will get great defenses on both sides, and more Special Attack means you will have more firepower.
Counter is one of Clefable's coolest moves. Pokémon that can be surprised by Counter include Fearow, Tauros, Quagsire, and many more. Clefable survives all of these. The first two moveslots can be about anything: Ice Beam + Thunderbolt is a good idea as well, and Calm Mind works to lure even more physical attacks; if you use Calm Mind, make sure to use a Special Attack in the other free moveslot. You can also use Light Screen in a similar way. Preferably don't use Thunder Wave here: if you Counter against a paralyzed Pokémon, you risk that they get fully paralyzed and your surprise will be given away.
Make sure to switch to Bold and to shift Attack EVs to Special Attack when running Special Attacking moves.
A stalling set, takes a long time to win with. I don't like this set because you usually get forced to Rest and then phazed, and stalling for so long is just begging to eat a critical hit. I'd always go with Rest here, using Softboiled makes you vulnerable to status. Use Encore on some attacking move and Seismic Toss them to death, or Toxic so your opponent loses HP even while you are setting up or recovering. Flamethrower / Fire Blast is a good option on this set to shut down Steel-types and Weezing.
A more novel set. Please, use one of your many other Normal Choice Bander options. The only thing Clefable has over them is Meteor Mash, which isn't that great anyway. Feel free to blend in a special move like Flamethrower or Thunderbolt to hurt Skarmory. With these EVs you should be able to outpace Meganium, Blastoise, and about anything else with 200 Speed or lower.
Other Options
Fire Blast as a more powerful option over Flamethrower. Psychic is for Fighting-types. Reflect is a great move to support your team with and can work in tandem with Counter. Safeguard supports, too, but to a lesser extent. Sing can catch any Clefable counter with a quick Sleep, and can help you set up Calm Mind or Belly Drum. Snatch can get you a Substitute, Calm Mind, Recover, Softboiled, Aromatherapy or Dragon Dance, as long as you're good at predicting. It's a novelty move though. Wish can be considered an option over Softboiled most of the time, Clefable is an above average Wisher. It might be wise to use Protect with it, which can also check what a Choice Bander is going to do, it can help your Leftovers recovery and it saves you from Explosion.
Depends completely on the set, and there's still no strict way of doing them. Using the Magic Stat Numbers article gives you an idea what you can use for EVs on Clefable. Stick with what's given on the sets.
Checks and Counters
Countering Clefable safely is hard; you'll usually have to use a combination of Pokémon. Any Pokémon with Rest stalls out the Toxic staller. Steel and Poison-types work as well, though Weezing and the Steels should beware of Fire moves.
Generally, powerful offense, Toxic, and Leech Seed stop Clefable. It often has to use Softboiled, so use that to switch in a counter easily.
Quagsire does about as well as Swampert and counters it under the same conditions. Hypno can Toxic or Thunder Wave Clefable and wall it, though Choice Band Clefable or generally Shadow Baller can hurt, and Hypno doesn't enjoy Toxic itself. Some offense from Aggron or Fearow can hurt Clefable a lot, but beware of Counter.

*Coverage not available in all counties.
Despite the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), PPA is still unable to provide discounted nationwide group health insurance for its members. This is because of federal and state laws that still prohibit insurance from being pooled across state lines. Pooling at an interstate level is complicated not only by federal insurance mandates but, also because State Insurance Commissioners establish different coverage minimums for each state. This means that a member in Florida is not likely to receive the same insurance benefits as a member in Texas even if they are with the same provider (although some of this has been remedied by the new federal law).
Please know that PPA does champion the ability for associations to offer national health plans. In fact, the association continues to support and advocate for legislation that includes provisions that would legalize Association Health Plans. Until that time, PPA has partnered with Pallay Insurance Agency, Inc., to assist members in securing affordable and quality medical and dental coverage. Regrettably, there are some counties in which they are not yet authorized to broker policies, so check out their benefit page to see if yours is one of them. Pallay has also assisted the association in explaining the ramifications of the Affordable Care Act by hosting a series of webinars on the topic of health coverage.
PPA's Indemnification Trust
At some point, every one of us will fall victim to Murphy's Law — the idea that everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. But we're here to help.
PPA members in the U.S. and Canada are eligible to get a type of malpractice coverage (our Indemnification Trust) in case something goes wrong that is generally considered your responsibility, such as equipment malfunction or unsatisfied clients (like the infamous Bridezilla).
With the Indemnification Trust you:
- Call PPA's customer service center (800-786-6277) and report a claim.
- Set up the claim with the Member Care Professional, who contacts the law firm of Meadows & Macie, the most experienced attorneys in the world at defending professional photographers.
- You will be contacted by the attorneys really quickly (usually within 24 hours when possible), and they help covered members with their expert advice and guidance.
- Don't worry about your PPA rates going up after filing a report with the Trust; all members pay the same participation fee, regardless of the number of reports filed.
Trust attorneys will help you defuse an issue or a potential problem with a client. And we've got your back even if your problem cannot be resolved without litigation:
- The Trust will appoint and pay for local attorneys to defend you.
- The Trust will pay any damages awarded to your client.
- You only pay a small deductible.
- You will never pay an attorney's bill.
We hope you never have to use this benefit, but if you do, it can help save your reputation, business, and money. Get even more info on how this benefit works.
And remember: Accessing the Trust does not mean that you are taking a step towards litigation or that you'll automatically be billed for the deductible. Many times the Trust can help you successfully resolve a situation without going to court and at no cost to you! Simply put, if the Trust doesn't have to cut a check on a claim, you don't have to pay out any money!

New PowerPoint Import for KOffice
Since Nokia's takeover of Trolltech and the increased presence of Qt, the KOffice suite has been gaining prominence on mobile devices. Developers have been working on new import opportunities of Microsoft Office formats.
On September 17 Nokia's KOffice developer Thomas Zander announced in his blog that the document viewer for the next Maemo 5 platform will be based on KOffice2. At the same time the KOffice team released a new beta version with a vastly improved MS Word import filter.
Now Jos van den Oever has written some further software to improve importing MS Office documents to KOffice: a parser that converts PowerPoint format to XML. As he reports in his blog, the documentation describing the PPT format encompasses 663 pages, with the one on drawings, essential to presentations, encompassing 620 pages as a PDF file. To prevent from having to scroll through all the pages, van den Oever converted the documents to machine-readable format and developed a parser from it to convert PowerPoint files to XML format. The method allows large amounts of PowerPoint data to be read in to make it easier to find weaknessses and errors. The resulting XML files can then be used as a basis for an import filter.
The product is a Qt program called
with a C++ and Java parser that is now available for download. Jos van den Oever encourages other project developers to write parsers in their favorite languages, requiring fewer than 700 lines of code.
Interested parties in Msoscheme for machine-readable MS Office files who want to participate in the project can access the source code as follows:
git clone git://gitorious.org/msoscheme/msoscheme.git mkdir msoscheme/cpp/build cd msoscheme/cpp/build cmake .. make ./ppttoxml myfile.ppt myfile.xml
A driving force behind the newest KOffice development is the KO GmbH open document company, where van den Oever is also a member.

Homegrown ice cream franchise offers familiar flavors and new favorites since 1870. – In Short
While this beloved chain makes candy and cakes, customers usually come to the shop for the fresh, ultrarich ice cream, which ranges from traditional flavors to the more unique black raspberry chip and Buckeye Blitz. Trademark chocolate chip ice cream is made by pouring melted chocolate into ice cream batches, so there are large, irregularly shaped chunks of rich chocolate rather than chips. Fruit sorbet is also available.

New Milford man charged with impersonating police officer
New Milford police arrested a borough man early this morning, alleging he impersonated a New York City police officer.
Paul Andreu, 46, also was charged with brandishing a loaded gun without a permit, among other offenses.
Andreu was arrested shortly after midnight Tuesday, Nov. 13, when he left his apartment on Faller Drive to walk his dog.
Andreu was charged with simple assault, criminal mischief, threatening to kill, illegal possession of a firearm without a permit, illegal possession of a concealed firearm, impersonating a police officer and possession of fraudulent documents.
Police Chief Frank Papapietro said Patrolmen Frank Haggerty, Bryan Mone and Nelson Perez went to Andreu's apartment with a search warrant for guns after a domestic violence restraining order was issued against him.
The restraining order included charges of simple assault and threatening to kill, said Papapietro, who would not release the victim's identity.
When Andreu was arrested, Papapietro said, he had a loaded gun concealed in his waistband.
Upon further search of Andreu, officers found that he was in possession of a New York City police badge and three cards identifying him as a sergeant. He also had a fraudulent gun permit.
Papapietro said Andreu is a terminal supervisor for NJ Transit.
Andreu was remanded to Bergen County Jail in lieu of $35,000 bail, with no 10 percent cash option.
Papapietro said the New York City Police Department Internal Affairs Bureau was notified about the case and has joined the investigation.

This satisfying vegetarian, sweet potato soup is inspired by the flavors of West African peanut soup. We like the added zip of hot green chiles, but they can sometimes be very spicy. It's best to take a small bite first and add them to taste. Try chopped peanuts and scallions for a different garnish. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.

The Beater Files
Every few years, we take stock and develop a list containing our nominations for the best 4x4s available in the used marketplace. This time around, we decided to tighten our belts a bit and cover only those that can be readily found for under $1,000. We know what you're thinking. What good is a worn-out bucket of rust that carries an asking price of $1,000 or less? The answers may surprise you. In terms of trail potential, many thousand-dollar beaters can out-crawl, out-haul, and out-maneuver a handful of present-day showroom challengers with much bigger price tags. And because perceived value is always dependent on what you use a vehicle for, we tried to include a wide assortment of vehicle types in our selection. Finally, if you don't see your favorite beater on our list, drop us an e-mail (email@example.com). Agree or disagree, either way we'd love to hear what you have to say.
10th PLACE
Ford F-150 ('73-'91)
If your next wheeling excursion includes any form of camping, you'll probably spend a good deal of time trying to find the space to pack essential items such as coolers, tents, firewood and sleeping bags. But when your truck is equipped with an eight-foot-long cargo box, loading up such accoutrements is a much less daunting task. Nothing beats the function and utility of a pickup truck, and when the price tag is under $1,000, the situation is a win-win. F-150s have enjoyed a solid reputation for dependability and overall toughness, and perhaps that is what makes them attractive as trail machines. Referred to as a "heavy half-tons" by many, the F-150 has enjoyed a longstanding success as the best-selling pickup in America. Equipped with I-6 and V-8 engines ranging in displacement anywhere from 240 to 351 cubic inches, there is a perfect drivetrain combination for everybody. At $1,000 or less, the most likely variant you will find is the one we prefer most: Those offered with the Twin Traction Beam front suspension. Offered between 1980 and '96, the TTB arrangement was a game-changer in a segment comprised entirely of solid front-axle vehicles. We can't tell you that the TTB setup is particularly strong for say, rock crawling, but it holds up well in the wide-open desert environments. If you consider the value of functional TTB to those who prefer it to a solid front axle, it actually adds value to your build strategy. You see, the parts that make up the TTB front suspension, in all their oddity, still command good money from truck builders in the go-fast desert crowd. We've seen complete factory TTB setups sell for more than $500 (used) online, making it that much easier to justify the expense of a 1-ton solid front axle swap for more serious trail work. Out of the box, the F-150 came ready for abuse, with underpinnings that scream "heavy duty" and square body proportions that offer a good balance of function and form.
9th Place
International Scout II ('74-'80)
For some strange reason, International Scouts have always seemed to attract a very specific enthusiast type. The Scout fan typically looks at the world from a little different perspective. We're not sure why, but we think it is due to the scarcity of style within the International brand. Developed as an answer to Jeep's popular CJ platform, the Scout II ushered in the era of the SUV. With go-anywhere utility offered in part by a pair of Dana 44 axles, Scout IIs were the icon of ruggedness to those who looked past the antiquated exterior. The Scout II's appearance was bland, with unusually flat sides and low-hanging rocker panels. Today, Scouts still maintain a love-hate relationship with the four-wheeling mainstream. Options such as a removable soft or hardtop gave the 100-inch wheelbase a Jeep-like passenger experience. Builders favor Scouts because of stout boxed frames and a literal smorgasbord of engine, transmission and transfer case options. If we could have it our way, our Scout II would have the 345 V-8, manual 4-speed transmission and a Dana 300 transfer case. Finding a rust-free Scout II is virtually impossible, though much of the affected areas are easy to repair or replace. In general, Scouts were never well known for corrosion resistance.

The invitation is in response to a request by Ms. Watt-Cloutier and the environmental organizations, in which they outlined the serious threat that global warming is already having on human rights in the Arctic and throughout the hemisphere.
"This is very good news," said Sheila Watt-Cloutier, former Chair of the Inuit Circumpolar Conference. "In the Arctic regions of Canada and the United States, warmer temperatures are melting the ice and snow that have formed the basis of our culture and survival for millennia."
Among other human rights impacts of global warming, the request for the hearing, sent to the Commission on December 5, 2006, outlined the following impacts on the people of the Arctic:
Because of the loss of ice and snow, communities have become isolated from one another; hunting, travel and other subsistence activities have become more dangerous or impossible; drinking water sources have been jeopardized; many coastal communities are already threatened or being forced to relocate, while others face increasing risks or costs; and transmission of Inuit culture to younger generations has become difficult or impossible. These impacts jeopardize the realization of the Inuit's rights to culture, life, health, physical integrity and security, property, and subsistence.
Watt-Cloutier was nominated on February 1, 2007, for a Nobel Peace Prize for her advocacy of Inuit causes, including her tireless efforts to put a human face on the impacts of global warming. On February 2, 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its latest findings on climate change, concluding human pollution is "very likely" the cause of global warming.
"With the latest science released by IPCC, the human causes of global warming can no longer be denied," said Martin Wagner, an attorney from the US-based Earthjustice who has worked with Watt-Cloutier to draw attention to the impact of global warming on the Inuit's human rights. "There can be no question that global warming is a serious threat to human rights in the Arctic and around the world. The Inter-American Commission plays an important role in interpreting and defending human rights in the hemisphere, and we are encouraged that it has decided to consider the question of global warming."

Put a stop to 'fiscal Cliff' double talk
Ray Kunz, Beacon Falls
The morning of Dec. 11, congressional Republicans offered some proposals for avoiding going over the fiscal cliff. I response, the Democrats said the proposal was not acceptable because it did not mention how we would "pay for the spending cuts." Come again? What form of logic is this double talk?

Trying to lose weight? DietBet puts your money where your cake-hole is
Everyone wants to lose weight, but for many folks, the rewards of looking better, feeling better, and living longer aren't sufficient motivation.
Ah, but what if there's money involved?
That's the idea behind DietBet, a "social dieting game" with a twist: You bet some money with friends and/or strangers, then spend 28 days trying to lose 4 percent of your body weight. Winner takes the pot -- which can end up being pretty sizable. If there are multiple winners, they split the cash.
