Outlaw Power Introduces New Neveroil Washable Filter As Alternative To Traditional Oiled Cotton
SAN BERNADINO, CA Outlaw Power, a division of Envisia Technologies™ has just introduced new NeverOil™ filter media to it's utility patent-pending line of revolutionary cold air intake products for newer trucks and SUV's.
New NeverOil is a thick non-woven, gradient-layered filter media that offers a non-oiled washable filter as an alternative to traditional cotton filters. The layered design provides staged filtration; the top layers allow for maximum airflow, while the bottom layers filter to one micron of particulate matter. This results in an impressive 99.4% filtration capacity, which means no residue on the MAF sensors.
"Our new NeverOil filter is the perfect solution for the truck or SUV owner using their vehicle in dusty, dirty, or muddy environments making it an excellent choice for use off-road, commercial or other demanding applications", said Aaron Morant, VP Sales & Marketing, Outlaw Power. "A high-performance washable filter is preferable in these environments
where high-filtration and extended filter life are concerns for the truck or SUV owner".
New NeverOil is SAE J726/ISO 5011:2000 lab tested and approved. For more information about Outlaw Power intake technology, visit

How Amelia became Pilot
By: Jasmine S.
Virginia, Age 11
When a pilot spotted Earheart and her friend,who were watching from an isolated clearing and dove at them.On December 28,1920,pilot FrankHawks gave her a ride that would forever change her life. By the time she had got two or three hundred feet off the ground she said,''Iknew I had to fly.'' Amelia took her first fling lessons on January 3,1921,and in six months managed to sve enough money to buy her first plane. One afternoon in April,1928 someone called Amelia and asked,'' Would you like to fly the Atlantic?'' Then she gladly said,''Yes''. Now that is how Amelia became pilot.

Voicemail From My Ex by Catherine Spangler
You know the kind. They usually come in the middle of the night, when you're sound asleep. Suddenly the phone rings. Dare you answer? It's been months since you last spoke. Better to let it go through to voicemail...
Duo Twins by Seth Lind
Saul and Joshua are a surprising pair forging an unlikely friendship. Saul is short and thick, a tough, self-taught, middle-aged Guatemalan rhythm guitarist. Joshua is a young, tall, soft-spoken, almost frail, American banjo plucker. Saul is a veteran of the trains, and rescued Joshua from the poverty of platform-playing. Together they are "Duo Twins," a joke name playing on how different they look - though the Twins gel together beautifully. They play mostly Latin standards though they have a fresh sound to them because of the combination of Joshua's virtuoso plucking with Saul's solid strum and charisma. But could the differences that make their music beautiful eventually tear the duo apart?
Excerpt from the Break-Up Project by Megan Hall
Over dinner one night, a pair of friends commiserated about their recent breakups -- laughing about the difficulty of navigating social circles and small town rumor mills. The joke grew into a full hour-long audio presentation featuring the break up stories of over 20 Providence residents.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico (AP) Lorena Ochoa has no regrets about leaving the LPGA Tour to devote all of her time to her family and foundation.
``I wouldn't change this for anything,'' Ochoa said. ``I'm happy with what I'm doing. I don't see myself again on the LPGA Tour. It's a tough schedule. I'm happy having a son and hopefully our family will grow next year.''
The Mexican star won 27 LPGA Tour titles before retiring at age 28 in 2010. She is back this week to play in her own Lorena Ochoa Invitational after missing the event last year before the birth of son Pedro in December. She also played in the Ladies European Tour's French Open last month, tying for 22nd.
``I'm very happy to be playing,'' said Ochoa, set to open tournament play Thursday at Guadalajara Country Club in a group with Ai Miyazato and Azahara Munoz. ``I'm excited for tomorrow.''
On Tuesday, Ochoa ran a golf clinic for children from her foundation.
``It was fun to be out there with the kids,'' Ochoa said. ``They are so small a lot of times they don't know what to think but it was nice to see them out there having fun and see their parents get so excited about getting their kids involved in golf and grow to love the game. It is always fun to be able to do that and hopefully tomorrow the kids will come out with their parents and see the tournament.''
Second-ranked Stacy Lewis, coming off her tour-leading fourth victory of the season Sunday in Japan, tops the field in the 36-player event along with No. 1 Yani Tseng, No. 4 Inbee Park and No. 5 Suzann Pettersen.
Lewis is in position to become the first American to win the player of the year points race since Beth Daniel in 1994. Lewis has a nearly insurmountable 58-point lead over Park with two events left.
Pettersen is coming off consecutive victories in South Korea and Taiwan.
Michelle Wie received a sponsor invitation after failing to qualify. She won the 2009 tournament for the first of her two LPGA Tour victories.
``Nothing is really different,'' Wie said. ``The weather is perfect, the guacamole still tastes really good, and the people are great. I think the one thing that has been different every year is the amount of people coming out and watching the event. It's great to see the golf course in perfect condition.''
Last year, Scotland's Catriona Matthew won by four strokes.

Boxing Champion Nathan Cleverly Goes Shirtless for TV Presenter – Hunk of the Day [PICTURES]
We have to give a big thanks to British TV personality Carol Vorderman for Tweeting a shot of herself with shirtless boxer Nathan Cleverly. Without it, we would never have known about this hott slice from the UK.
Cleverly is the current WBO (World Boxing Organization) World Champion, which means he's a better boxer than you. To top that off, he's got a killer six pack that tons of people are swooning over, including us.
After staring at photos of this guy, we're starting to wonder why we never got into boxing from the start. It's basically the real-life version of 'Fight Club' and most of the fighters look like Brad Pitt.

Product Highlights
The AF-S 600mm f/4G ED VR Lens from Nikon is a high performance fast super telephoto prime lens for Nikon F mount cameras. It is compatible with both FX- and DX-format DSLRs and provides 900mm focal length equivalence on DX-format cameras. It is a robust and durable lens incorporating a magnesium die-cast barrel and professional-grade dust and moisture sealing allows it to be used in more rugged situations. It is extraordinarily long reaching and is effective for drawing in distant subjects and serves well those involved in sports and wildlife photography as well as other ultra-telephoto applications.
This lens features the improved Vibration Reduction (VR II) image stabilization system that reduces the blur caused by camera shake, something particularly effective when shooting in dim light at such a long focal length. In addition, this lens also features the Tripod Detection mode, which reduces vibration that may occur due to shutter release, when mounted on a tripod.
The internal focus system and Silent Wave Motor enable fast, precise and near-silent autofocus action and direct manual focus override provides immediate access to precise manual focus by simply rotating the focus ring. In addition, a focus limiter switch, focus lock and AF memory recall buttons offer more convenient control of focus placement. Three extra-low dispersion glass elements incorporated into the optical design correct chromatic aberrations and the use of Nano Crystal and Super Integrated lens coatings reduce flare and ghosting.
A built-in rotating tripod/monopod collar offers stability and filtering is provided with a 52mm drop-in style filter holder. A two-piece lens hood is included as is a large trunk-style carrying case.

Keith Cowing needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 34 designs submitted by 14 freelance designers.
SeamlessReceipts enables physical retailers to interact with customers through email and social media. Our flagship product is a service for retailers to offer email receipts to customers instead of paper receipts. The design should be bright and pleasing to the eye, but professional.
We are asking for an update just on our homepage. Our current site is available here:
We serve businesses (retailers) of various kinds and sizes. The target audience is the owner of a retail business, or a marketing or IT executive who works for a retail business. Having a cutting edge design and an appearance of professionalism and credibility are crucial.
We have a design but need a great, professional touch.
Full requirements are listed in the attached file, "SeamlessReceipts Full Requirements.rtf"
Header: no changes
Main Image: Update the button, provide a crisp, professional blue blackground (www.cloudera.com is a great example). Create a new button and update the text layout as needed. Add any desired effects to the background or the white receipt (don't worry about the grid in the receipt, just focus on the top part with the store name and logo, the bottom part with the promotion and icons, and the effects used to provide a nice contrast between the white receipt and the blue background. The main image and width of the central part of the page should adhere to the width of our current site, approx. 960px.
Storyboard (4 images): Use the same layout, add any effects desired and create professional-looking arrows between the images.
Partners and button: Use same layout, update the button and any other effects desired - should be simple, nothing complex.
Footer: Provide a background that matches the styling of the Main Image.
Background: We found that the logo in the top left looked best on a white background, but we're open to new background effects. The background on the area between the Main Image and the Footer should be white or simple enough for us to insert new content in the future without design changes.

8-page "everything we know" feature will suggest specs, appearance and AR features.
The artist representation, looks like a curvy ps2 when it is standing up. Next gen consoles better have SSD. Otherwise get ready for long load times.
HA! SSD he says. Do you want your consoles to be $600? Because SSD is expensive.
Well, MS started this gen with 20GB drives. There are some small capacity SSDs which are quite cheap, MS could get a good deal on the related tech and bundle them with 360s then charge crazy amounts for a sensible (as in like 100GB) SSD for a "premium" package. That is how spending more to have SSDs would actually make MS money, people won't feel as big a need to upgrade a HDD if it had one instead of a SSD because it should have plenty of capacity right at the start of the generation.
Load times will be vastly quicker even without the next gen having SSDs anyway.
There is going to be a very fine line in their pricing though. They will have to sell at a bigger loss than previous generations unless it isn't top of the range hardware (I suspect neither the PS4 nor 720 will be pushing any boundaries, but the difference between the two consoles could be large)
ssd is not expensive look at samsung ssd 840. But i dont care about the harddrive its the ram memory that needs to be big. 8 is not enough i think
Why would they sell gamers a storage with a considerably shorter life span and considerably more expensive? Or are you just trying to look smart talking about SSD's?
Don't expect SSD in the new system. It's all about getting the most value at the lowest cost this coming generation and SSD drives still start at about $80. I do expect Microsoft to go back to providing a hard drive with every system, but it's highly unlikely to be a SSD. A faster disc drive will also help load times. They will probably do something like Nintendo is doing and that is offer different models at launch. Cloud services will also come into play.
I think that model shown looks rather cool. They should call it Xbox Durango.
Hmm..so this confirms the new Xbox coming out next year. The magnesium case looks kinda cool.
Hopefully the Orbis is coming out afterward, if not prior.
edit: the shape reminds me to AppleTV and the chrome frame makes it look like an obese iP4. The minimalist approach does the sexy look.
ssds have becomewaymore reliable and cheap.
so those arguments dont really hold water.
it would be a great feature.
an ssd would improve everything from boot-time load-times browsing librarys install times literally everything depends on the hdd.
and an ssd is the answer to all that.
who knows if they would use them but it would cut load times in 1/4 for levels 4 times the size in data.
my argument here is that is IS a good idea, question is will they use it or not.
If online gameplay isnt free on this one ill pass.
Both Sony and M$ should go with SSHDs. Nearly as fast as SSDs, same storage capacity as HDDs, and quite cheap.
For example, the Seagate Momentus XT($90 newegg). I have one in my PS3. It has sped everything up by ~25%-35%, just imagine if Sony or M$ specialized their systems with such a drive.
40, 60GB SSD are cheap and they would speed-up games like crazy, it would be like playing games from a cartridge. You can put an SSD on the PS3 but the system does't make use of all its capacity/features so it ends up being just as fast as a 5000RPM HDD. But the X720 will have newer motherboards with higher speed bus and connectivity and it will be able to take full advantage of it.
SSDs aren't so unthinkable. Unlike tradditional Hard Drives, the same amount of storage in an SSD will get cheaper over time. HDD's hit a "limit" whereby the cost of components just can't get any cheaper. That's why both the 360 and PS3 have upgraded the HDD space sold over time, because it's actually cheaper to do so.
Now Flash memory is different, it always gets cheaper and cheaper so over time the same amount of space WILL cost less money. SSDs are just flash memory (with a controller) packed into a HDD-sized shell. It's not unthinkable that Microsoft may bundle say 16Gb of SSD-like flash memory to be used purely as a cach for games to load faster, faster than a normal HDD can allow.
7,200 rpm would be a pretty nice standard though...
I would think that the best alternative is this.
SSD + Cloud.
SSD for important files that need loading but also dependable Cloud storage and server-based data storing methods.
SSD is no where near being cheap or reliable enough. And one year probably won't bring them to that point. Not when downloading games, DLC, etc is becoming bigger and bigger.
Seeing how wiiU is selling I am thinking that MS might want to have you buy exteranl HDD's.
Accept they will be over priced xbox branded 100GB HDD's for $99.
The costs of SSD's are shooting down so fast at the moment. If we assume xmas time next year as the earliest release possibility for new consoles, a lot can happen in that time.
@Mikefizzled, regarding SSD life-span.
The life-span limits you mention are so out of reach for most people that they aren't worth worrying about. I mean, the Samsung 830 256gb hdd, for example, has a suggested write cycle limit of 3000 cycles. That's 256gb*3000 = 750 terabytes. That'd let you write over 200gb to it every day for 10 years before you should expect it to start faltering. That's in the worse case too.
Are you joking? 8gb of ram is all it will need for years to come. Skyrim on PC only allocates itself 2gb.
Lets just hope that everything will work out just fine for all the next gen consoles; hardware wise, software wise and sales wise.
Funny, multiple websites are reporting next gen consoles will have SSD drives. And $600, you mean like the ps3 was when it launched high speed?
I have two ssd drives in my alienware they were not expensive.
You might want to find a new hobby next gen light weight. Or find a better job.
Moron. You can buy a Sandisk Extreme 120GB SSD for less than $100 now. They are no longer expensive and soon will be reaching the point of being inexpensive.
you can put it in yourself if you really want ssd
What the hell are you talking about ? SSD have no moving parts which make them last longer than traditional HDD's. Educate yourself before posting pleas.
Do your SSD Research..
You do know that SSD's dont have a very good lifespan.
If you use your Console (with SSD) for more then 4 years, you will notice some impressive slow downs.
SSD's are using Cells..The cells can run out and the SSD will die.
HDD's on the other hand..have the advantage of lifespan.
What do you prefer?
Speed, or lifespan? Besides the diffrence in gaming with an SSD is minimal. So SSD's would be useless for a gaming console.
Extra money, for a very tiny gain.
SSDs are rated for the same lifespan of HDD's these days. Early SSDs were different, modern ones are much better at handling that sort of thing.
The difference in gaming with an SSD is NOT minimal. That's just plain untrue.
Loading screens literally cease to exist, amongst other benefits.
SSD's are built these days to replenish their cells. they now have higher life capacity but i would prefer a cross hybrid of HDD nd SSD where only certain game data is ported to SSD when u play that game.
If they have plenty of Ram SSDs wont be needed really. But SSDs are due for some more price crashing, but vendors are still trying to get rid of old stock first.
With all the digital content they want to sell you however I think they will want a bigger hard drive. Unless they choose to gimp it at first with small sized SSDs so the fanboys will constantly upgrade hardware with each refresh.
I wouldn't mind small SSDs if they allowed external storage though, because it makes the speed of SSDs standard for all game developers to work with from day one on all systems
The developers already have the kits and so far I've read that AGAIN, the xbox kit is superior to the PS4 dev kit. PS4 is has done away with cell according to insiders. Article doesn't make sense especially when they said the speculate the name is going to be simply XBOX. The first one is just called XBOX, so how do you distinguish the two? If someone walked in a store and said can I get a Playstation, iPod, Nintendo,or Samsung Galaxy...the clerk is going to ask DUH, WHICH ONE?
Do you really think retailers sell the 1st xbox? C'mon now.
it looks nice and now at least its got bluray and not HD-DVD XD
Whatabout a hybrid system?
A small fraction of the harddisk could be ssd to reduce cost but provide performance, and only the active game would use it for streaming frequently used assets, and the SSD portion could be flushed after the game.
However I would like an 8x bluray drive instead of SSD. That'd be pretty good.
Why would we need ssd's ?.
I bet you believe them articles too saying next gen game production costs are going to multiply....
BF3 maxed on ultra settings @ 1080p on pc, we'll be lucky to get hardware capable of getting close to that level of performance, games that have already been made over a year ago needing no ssd or crazy high production costs, no need "next gen" either..
yay = )im getting 1 first day, as i did with the 360 hopefully it will be cheaper. I bought mine 05 for 470 euros premium.
I can't wait. I hope next year brings us the new Xbox.
Show me how Watch Dogs and Star Wars 1313 run on the thing, Then we can talk.
8 GM RAM is quite impressive. 4 times as much as the Wii U.
I played Halo 4, Gears of War 3, Alan Wake and Red Dead Redemption and thought they look great. Now imagine what devs could create on a console with these specs... Crazy shit.
I actually like the design, too.
Assuming that's true, developer consoles tend to have 2x the RAM of the final console. So that would mean the 720/Durango/whatever will have 4GB of RAM.
That might change, of course, a similar thing was done with the 360 that was originally going to only have 256MB of RAM.
true, but these are rumors for the consumer version and not a devkit. So devkits might even have 16 GB RAM.
These are all rumors anyway.
Yeah, if this turns out to be true, I can't wait to see games like Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo 5, Alan Wake 2, and other running on it.
Not going to buy day one, but you can be sure I'm going to be following the PSNext and the NeXbox to a tee.
And if that's 8GB to just games then it'll be 8 times Wii U.
Can't wait for nextgen
8GB of ram is more than I expected so that's good and that design isn't that bad either. Just curious to see what kind of GPU will be in it! Anyone have any ideas??
We know Halo 5 is in development for XBOX (can we drop the 720 now?), but I wonder how deep Activision & Microsoft are in bed together, and if COD 10 is going to be a launch title, assuming we see the console next holiday season. That would possibly drive millions in sales for both software & hardware in those 2 months, especially since Activision just raked in $500 million so far this week.
ahem...you mean $500 million on Nov 13th alone.
They made $500 million in the first 24 hours.
This isn't something to be proud of.
Ar glasses? Kinect 2.0? Get ready for a casual gaming future Xbox fanboys. Hope you like you're gears of war while flailing your arms.
I know they're vaporware now, but remember the Move & Eye(Toy) for the PS3? Yeah...
Also, I HATE being grammar police, and I can deal with shorthand & texting lingo, but I make an exception for YOUR & YOU'RE. If you don't know how to properly use each one, just use "YUR."
"Your" wouldn't autocorrect to "you're" in any situation, so either YOUR device is broken or YOU'RE misspelling it! =D
i know its spelled that way im just TOO FUCKING lazy to move my hand to the apostrophe it leads to the inevitable missed key and i dont want to break my flow.
EVERYBODY KNOWS ITS SPELLED You're
clunky ass BFE apostrophe key is clunky and in bum F&^K egypt on my keyboard and i dont want to reach for it
this is not a college paper this is an online forum and if youre gonna point it out it just says things about you that people say behind your back.
comment nazis are cool in billoriellys book.
i like that design i hope the next xbox looks like that
Man talk about going on with a bang... I am sure these guys originally wanted to hold these stories for later in 2013 instead of now. I may need to get a hold of this mag and the PSM one and stash them away for collection sake.
Wow, I hope looks close to that- simple and unassuming, so it will look great anywhere I place it.
It's funny how some people say that 8gb of ram is not enough, this have to be pc gamers. If developers for consoles can make the games they have made for Xbox360 and playstation 3 with the little ram they have I can only imagine what they will be able to do with 8gb available to them. Can't wait for the next gen consoles and games.
8GB is more than enough, 16 would be overkill for consoles, since they aren't doing as many background processes as the PC.
Well considering I am a PC gamer as well as a Console gamer, 8Gb of ram is quite fine. Thats my recommended amount of ram to have in your pc to get optimal performance while playing a game and doing lots of other things in the background. Its funny how people assume something that the dont know about. If anything, it is the mainstream console gamers that think that 8Gb of ram is not enough because they know nothing about ram.
The amount of Ram does not matter nearly as much as the speed of the actually RAM. If any console had 4GB DDR3 @ 2000mhz I would be floored and everyone would notice a dramatic difference. 8GB @ 1466mhz will be significantly slower. So before getting excited, I'll just wait for final specs.
I can see by the disagrees that there are alot of people who have no idea about hardware, this is 100% fact but w/e.
BS.. Rather put that budget into a decent increase in clockspeed of the cpu/gpu or a higher tier GPU (imagine 7850 to 7870)..
Ram speed is really only effective for those GPU chipsets that don't have discrete VRAM.
Barely any FPS/performance difference with a 1066Mhz Ram on the same setup than with a 1866Mhz.. and where not even talking about RAM timings yet!
Will only recommend faster RAM if the price difference is almost non existent.
Just google this..
If you understand discrete GPU's then you understand these won't be put in new console due to the price and size limitations. Which is why I said the speed of RAM will make a big difference in a new console.
That's how these type of communities are. Mostly everyone aren't experts in any of this but will regurgitate what they hear from other and discuss it as if they knew what they were talking about.
yeah, and I'm finding it hard to believe that final hardware will have 8gb of ram - it could which would be great but I'm thinking 4gb is going to be final spec.
And as you pointed out faster ram and little less would do more in the case of gaming.
That design kinda reminds me of the Hauppauge HD PVR 2
wouldnt it be great if it was released with a halo2 aniversary.
Yeah id love open up my next gen console and play a old outdated game. Sounds great.
"Unless something really dramatic changes, everything we reveal in our penultimate issue will be revealed long before E3 in June."
It looks like nextbox oficial reveal is just around the corner...

Polk State College President Eileen Holden and Lakeland businessman Joe P. Ruthven resigned Monday as co-chairs of a commission formed to advise the troubled Lakeland Police Department.
LAKELAND | Polk State College President Eileen Holden and Lakeland businessman Joe P. Ruthven resigned Monday as co-chairs of a commission formed to advise the troubled Lakeland Police Department. The resignations came before the group could even meet.
In her resignation letter, Holden told Mayor Gow Fields, who organized the Lakeland Police Advisory Commission personally, that despite stepping away from serving on the commission, she anticipates having some involvement in a search for solutions to the department's problems.
Though she didn't specify why she was stepping down, Holden did list multiple issues she thinks the city faces, including communication and accountability breakdowns that "span the city's organization chart, from top to bottom (an issue I [Holden] see as both cultural and operational)."
The resignation letter also addresses an unresolved issue over whether the advisory commission's meetings will be held in public.
Holden wrote she had expected the meetings to be held publicly, in accordance with Florida open-meeting laws, "however, the matter needs a more formal resolution to avoid additional, unnecessary controversy."
She also said the city faces other issues, which she described as: A lack of consensus and collaboration by the City Commission, an antagonistic relationship between the city and local print media, and a breakdown in trust between the city and the State Attorney's Office.
Holden, through a spokesperson, declined Monday to discuss her exact reasons for leaving. Ruthven did not respond to multiple phone messages.
Fields told The Ledger on Monday that both people cited the commission's size as a factor in their decisions. He originally proposed the commission as a five- to seven-member group that would develop ways to address problems in workplace culture and deal with citizen complaints.
As the number of people who said they would serve grew, Fields said, he expanded the commission to 15, including Holden and Ruthven. "(I) realized there was the ability to have in one commission a variety of skill sets."
"I'm sure it's going to concern people," Fields said of Ruthven's and Holden's decisions to resign. "Personally, I'm disappointed. However, at the end of the day, we are still where we are, and we still have a plan to go forward and have the citizens of Lakeland involved in the solution."
The group's first meeting is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Thursday at Lakeland City Hall. Fields said he has no immediate plans to replace Holden and Ruthven.
Fields said Ruthven approached him about joining the group, and Fields said he handpicked Holden because PSC operates the local law enforcement academy, and he thought whatever lessons the commission learned might be used in training.
Fields told The Ledger he never intended for the commission to meet in private, but he wanted to allow its members to make the decision themselves. At their meeting Thursday, he said, City Attorney Tim McCausland is scheduled to explain the Florida Sunshine Law to the group.
"The Sunshine Law gives you some real specifics about what you can and can't do," Fields said. "They may have some questions about it. We need to give them a chance to have that dialogue directly with the city attorney."
Holden ends her letter by encouraging Fields and the City Commission to "take this crisis as an opportunity to reflect with eyes wide open on the leadership and accountability breakdowns that are already evident."
"A vital step in rectifying those defects and restoring public trust will involve the candid and decisive way in which you choose to address those issues," she wrote. "The city has the opportunity to enact meaningful reform and, in the process, connect with the citizens you serve in a powerful way."
Commissioner Phillip Walker said he was surprised about the resignations, particularly Ruthven's.
"Joe Ruthven approached Gow and said that it (the Citizens Advisory Commission) would be something good to do," Walker said. "Now, it's not something good to do?
"What caused him to bail out. I would love to know why."
Commissioners Don Selvage and Keith Merritt said they were disappointed to hear about the two resignations.
Selvage said he disagreed with Fields' unilateral decision to pick the members, but he said he ultimately supported the decision to form a group.
"I think the third-party observation is a good thing," Selvage said. "I like the idea of the diversity that the mayor selected."
Merritt said there are still enough people on the commission to move forward.
"I welcome their insight," he said.
Commissioner Howard Wiggs said Holden's concerns are similar to his.
He repeated that commissioners, not the Citizens Advisory Commission, should come up with solutions about the future of the LPD.
He said commissioners should agree to do that at an 8:30 a.m. Aug. 2 agenda study meeting.
"If we could agree on doing something collectively," Wiggs said. "What does it need to include, and what is the scope we want to identify?"
Commissioner Justin Troller said he understood Holden's and Ruthven's decision.
Troller said Holden made some good points in her letter. He said he agreed with her statement about the sunshine laws.
The committee will move forward with the remaining members, he said.
"This isn't a short-term commitment," Troller said.
Commissioner Edie Yates is out of town.

Program Leader: Ulrich SteidlCo-Program Leader: Amit VermaStem Cells, Differentiation and Cancer is a newly configured Cancer Center program that has brought together investigators working on B-cell leukemia/lymphomas with investigators that study myeloid malignancies along with recently recruited researchers focused on cancer stem cells. While there has been an increasing focus on translation in the hematological malignancies, this program continues to remain an important resource of basic science discovery on mechanisms of transcription (including histone and chromatin biology), lineage determination and differentiation, splicing and translation at the biochemical and molecular levels. Research extends to precursors of neural, hepatic, and mammary origin and their differentiation. There have been important discoveries regarding the pathogenesis of myelodysplasia, signal-transduction strategies to stimulate hematopoiesis and delay transformation into acute leukemia. High resolution genomic studies using assays developed at Einstein have characterized the methylome in leukemia, myelodysplasia, myeloproliferative neoplasms, and lymphomas, revealing novel prognostic and pathogenic insights. Quantitative and qualitative alterations in stem and progenitor cells were identified in myelodysplastic syndromes and leukemia implicating primitive specific cells in disease-relapse. The discovery of Skp2 as a critical proliferative signal in pituitary tumors, in which retinoblastoma protein has been inactivated, has identified it as a novel therapeutic target with potential relevance to other malignancies such as prostate cancer. Finally, groundbreaking studies have revealed the role of the sympathetic nervous system in the regulation of the hematopoietic stem cell niche with the potential to pharmacologically augment the circadian mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells from the bone marrow. These studies are also linked to the role of the sympathetic nervous system in the migration of monocyte/macrophages and the role of macrophages in the bone marrow stem cell niche as a determinant of breast and other cancer metastasis. Many of these basic studies have been translated into correlative and clinical therapeutic trials at AECC and have identified novel targets for drug development pursued by investigators in the Experimental Therapeutics Program.

Ridgefield dominates Ludlowe to reach FCIAC semifinals
RIDGEFIELD -- As the FCIAC tournament and state's No. 1 ranked team, the Ridgefield High boys lacrosse team aimed for a fast start in its conference quarterfinal Saturday against Fairfield Ludlowe.
And thanks to their defense and the 1-2 offensive punch of Brett Baker and Simon Mathias, a fast start is exactly what the Tigers got.
The top-seeded Tigers scored eight first-half goals en route to a 15-4 win over No. 8 Ludlowe at Lancaster Field.
Baker scored five goals and Mathias netted two and assisted six others as the Tigers (15-2) advanced to Tuesday's conference semifinals against Greenwich.
"This is what we were expecting," Ridgefield coach Roy Colsey said. "We're the No. 1 seed; we came out and played well today ... we're ready to move on for the next game."
Ryan Desmond scored two goals and added an assist as the Falcons fell to 10-7.
"They're No. 1 in the state for a reason," Ludlowe coach Chris Parisi said. "Everything that can be said has been said. You go right down the lineup, and they have great kids and they execute really well, and they cause you problems."
The Tigers built a 4-0 lead after one, as Mathias, Timothy Cozens and Dylan Maher each set up goals. Mathias assisted two of Baker's three first-quarter tallies and also set up Ryan Dunn's goal at 2:09.
"It is definitely good to get the momentum going and support the doubt that they have early," Baker said.
William Bonaparte and Mathias each scored in the second quarter's first 1:03 to boost Ridgefield's edge to 6-0.
"That's one of the things that we do well is move the ball and share the ball," Colsey said. " I was just proud of them for executing the offense: being unselfish, moving the ball and not caring who scored."
When Ludlowe had the ball, the Tigers' aggressive zone defense pressed the Falcons, limiting them to just three first-half shots.
"We're just trying to find a way through their zone defense," Parisi said. "It takes a lot of patience, they have a lot of talent."
"We have a very solid defense," Colsey said.
Baker scored two more and would have had a sixth goal if he hadn't hit the post midway through the quarter. The Tigers led 8-0 at halftime.
Ludlowe won seven of the second half's 11 faceoffs, and Desmond's goal at 7:23 of the third cut Ridgefield's lead to 9-1. But the Tigers scored the frame's final three goals, carrying a 12-1 lead after three.
"The game plan was not terribly complicated," Colsey said. "The guys came out and executed, and we had good control of the game."

ST. LOUIS — Pinch-hitter Greg Garcia was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and one out in the 12th inning, sending the St. Louis Cardinals over the Chicago Cubs 4-3 Tuesday night.
Jhonny Peralta led off the 12th with a single for his third hit. Justin Grimm (1-2) retired Matt Holliday on a popup, but walks to Allen Craig and Yadier Molina loaded the bases for Garcia.
Seth Maness (1-2) tossed a scoreless 12th for the win. Both teams used seven pitchers.
Trailing 3-2 going into the ninth, Chicago rallied to tie it off closer Trevor Rosenthal on Emilio Bonifacio's RBI single with two outs. The blown save was the first for Rosenthal in 11 opportunities.
Matt Adams and Matt Carpenter also drove in runs for the Cardinals.
Luis Valbuena hit a two-run homer off Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright.
The Cardinals took a 3-2 lead in the sixth after Peter Bourjos led off with a bunt single off Carlos Villanueva. Bourjos went to second on a grounder, stole third on ball four pitch to pinch-hitter Jon Jay and scored on Carpenter's grounder. Peralta added an RBI single.
Cubs starter Jake Arrieta went four innings, allowing one run on four hits and five walks. But he helped himself when he led off the third with a single and scored on Valbuena's homer.
St. Louis got one of those runs back in the bottom of the third on a two-out, RBI infield single by Matt Adams.
NOTES: The Cubs are 3-15 in games decided by two runs or less. ... Carpenter went 0 for 5 and is hitless in his last 13 at-bats. . . . Pat Neshek made his team-high 20th appearance for the Cardinals, and pitched a scoreless 11th inning to extend his scoreless streak to 13 1-3 innings. ... The Cubs' Jason Hammel (4-1) opposes Michael Wacha (2-3) on Wednesday.

With clear popular and electoral vote victories, hugely favorable ratings in the polls, and a tremendous surge of excitement surrounding his inauguration as our 44th president, Barack Obama certainly could hope, perhaps even expect, that his ambitious policy agenda would meet with success in Washington's corridors of power.
Resistance quickly surfaced to some of his appointees, elements of the fiscal stimulus package and other aspects of his program. But if the public's enthusiasm about Obama endures, he might succeed in creating a movement of citizens who want different policies and would bend their efforts to persuade neighbors and politicians that change is needed. His 2008 campaign built the foundation on which such a movement could thrive.
Obama believes that change "really comes from the ground up, not from Washington," as then-Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo., said in December. Salazar (who now is secretary of Interior) was participating in the Obama team's first effort to engage citizens in a key issue, reforming health care. Outreach began with a phone conference led by Tom Daschle, then designee as secretary of Health and Human Services, with 1,000 of 10,000 Obama supporters who had expressed interest in health care. It continued with so-called house parties for change held across the country at the end of the year.
These initiatives were part of what Obama's team christened OFA 2.0, after Obama for America, the campaign committee.
Organizers hope for nothing less than a national grass-roots-driven renewal of civic engagement. Change.gov, the Obama transition team's Web site, showed the way in December by asking citizens for views on effecting social change. Change.gov has now become WhiteHouse.gov, and the "movement" has shifted to a new site called Organizing for America, hosted by the Democratic National Committee. With a bank of 13 million e-mail addresses, OFA will be used to support local candidates, lobby for the president's agenda and keep connected to Obama's grass-roots backers.
By rising above the heads of special interest groups and lobbyists, a grass-roots movement could be powerful in driving the goals of the new president. But it would do little to ensure effective implementation. For that, Obama will have to rely on civil service and military personnel numbering more than 3 million. To be sure, many new people now want to join the government, but the administration can directly hire only a tiny fraction of the huge number of people who have submitted their résumés.
A new book from the National Academy of Public Administration emphasizes the essential role the civil service must play, as it details a menu of reforms still needed. That role is only gaining in importance as Washington deepens its grip on the nation's economy and takes on entirely new functions: part owner of private concerns and financier to an ever-growing list of private and public entities.
Paul A. Volcker, former Federal Reserve chairman and now a key economic adviser to Obama, writes the foreword to the book, Innovations in Human Resources Management: Getting the Public's Work Done in the 21st Century (M.E. Sharpe Inc., 2009). Volcker, the quintessential public servant, reflects on his work as chairman of the National Commission on the Public Service, whose 2003 report insisted on revitalization of the public service. Progress has come toward some of its goals, but "on the whole, reform has yet to achieve the scope and intensity that is required," he writes.
President Obama, to his great credit, is encouraging people to engage in voluntary public service. We can hope that he also will work toward reforms that will make the federal civil service a more vital and engaging place to be.

We spent two nights at the Gibson Mansion —and wish it could have been longer. The house is perfectly appointed in every detail and the hosts, Judy and Tom, are gracious and helpful. The garden is lovely with several small seating areas where guests and sit and sip and enjoy the manicured lawn and flower beds. The breakfast, including the pre-breakfast scones and coffee, was fabulous. The Gibson Mansion is a real find!

Much better experience than the equivalent spent on a hotel. Great place to stay and we will be going there again.

This is what a B&B should be. The standard by which all others will be measured.
5 on October 29, 2013
Tom and Nancy are people pleasers! They pay close attention to details. Their B&B was spotless inside and out. Breakfast was the icing on the cake. We will definitely stay there again next time we are in Missoula! Oh and btw....the bed was so comfy we didn't want to get up! Sarah in Delaware

My two night stay was wonderful. The room I stayed in was beautifully decorated, with all the amenities I needed to feel comfortable. The owners were very welcoming, and so were the other guests I met. The breakfasts were delicious, and the pre-breakfast tray with a fresh scone was a wonderful way to start the day. I would recommend this property to anyone staying in Missoula, and will definitely be returning myself. I can't wait to see how the garden looks in different seasons.
5 on September 24, 2013
I stayed here for one night on a business trip. I didn't want the noisy hotels and just wanted a place to lounge in quiet and comfort. Tom and Nancy were wonderful hosts. The Victorian mansion and the gardens were spectacular. It was too short a stay. I hope to come back with my wife soon.

My husband and I enjoyed a romantic evening at Gibson mansion. We loved the Garden Room with the beautiful furnishings and view of the gorgeous yard. The coffee was awesome!

Beautifully restored. Owners have paid great attention to details: fresh flowers in rooms, refrigerator filled with fruits and juices, coffee/tea tray with homemade scones each am,delicious breakfast. Very friendly and helpful.

We loved the Gibson mansion! Beautiful place, great people, and fabulous service! We will be back! Excellent!

The mansion exudes Southern charm and hospitality in the "North." A place that takes you back in time with old world charm and comfort. Times gone by are transformed to the present. The beautiful gardens of yesteryear envelope you in a tranquil setting.

Totally enjoyed our stay. Beautiful home and furnishings. Owners are very gracious hosts.
5 on July 09, 2012
We stayed here for several days. The owners are amazing - friendly, helpful, efficient, and gracious. The scones at your door and gourmet breakfasts are really as delicious as they sound. We stayed in 3 of the four rooms - all were beautifully decorated and lovely to stay in. After sleeping in the amazingly soft sheets, it's hard to Go back to regular ones! Overall exceeded all of our expectations. We'll be back soon.

If you want to be spoiled and pampered, stay at the elegant Gibson's Mansion in Missoula, MT. Your every wish is the innkeepers demand. You'll be treated like a Royal by Tom and Nancy, while residing in their exquisite Victorian mansion. The only thing that's missing is the Fox Hunt, but they do have a friendly, black lab named Peyton, squirrels, birds and deer nearby.
5 on April 30, 2012
My second time to stay for business, and Tom and Nancy make typical "front desk" welcomes pale by comparison. Wireless throughout, including if you want to sit in the gazebo! Eye-opener coffee and scones outside your door at any early morning time you want, followed by HUGE and WONDERFUL full breakfast. Will even provide larger breakfast to your door if you need to head out to early meeting. Open kitchen where you can store take out, heat up left, make a cup of tea, or grab a fruit or water from the fridge. No fitness center? Go for a walk in the hills behind the mansion! Most important - comfortable down pillows and comforters making sleep instantaneous. No elevator, but Tom valets luggage up the beautiful staircase. Great alternate for business travelers to Missoula.

Our third time staying at this beautiful B&B and it gets better every time. We enjoyed the Christmas decor, antiques and history of the mansion. The sheets are unlike anything we've ever slept in. The room was so dark and quiet, we were late for breakfast. Amazing food and wonderful conversation with the owners. We're making this an annual weekend get away (even if it is only 3 miles from home).
5 on December 14, 2011
This B&B provided a truly exotic vacation experience for us. Our 2 days here were at the end of a 2 week getaway & so outstripped our other B&B accommodations on this trip (& others) that it, in essence, was a vacation within a vacation.
5 on October 31, 2011
Beautiful, restored mansion with immaculate grounds. Tom & Nancy were fabulous hosts who attended to our every need and the food was excellent. Would highly recommend.
5 on October 24, 2011
The Gibson Mansion was absolutely wonderful. My wife and I stayed there 4 nights while visiting our grandson at the Univ. of Montana. The innkeepers Tom and Nancy made us so comfortable and by the time we checked out they were wonderful friends. The Sunset Room we stayed in was immaculate and decorated beautifully! The grounds were just beautiful even in mid October. The scones each morning left outside your room were to die for and the Breakfast was so scrumptious everyday. My wife and I observed our 1st anniversary while at the Mansion and to our surprise Tom and Nancy left us a chilled bottle of sparkling cider with chocolate dipped strawberries in our room that evening. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Missoula. If you ever get to Missoula on business or pleasure be sure and spend at least 1 night or more if you can and I am sure you will agree it is really as good as I say. My hat goes off to Tom and Nancy their hard work has created something special in Missoula!!
5 on September 24, 2011
Tom and Nancy do it right, and exceed every expectation. From the English gardens to the beautiful restoration of the mansion to the souffle' for breakfast, it was fabulous. Their research led them to the perfect sheets for the bed. The morning tray of coffee & tea with the scones, delivered to the door of the bedroom, perfectly on schedule, was a great wakeup treat, long before we came down to the dining room for breakfast. Our friends across town, paying more at the Hilton for less splendor, were justifiably jealous. H & MS; Los Osos, CA

We stayed in teh Sunset Room for our honeymoon and loved it! The mattress and sheets were incredibly comfortable and all of the food prepared was absolutely delicious!

Hobbits would approve of this gem in Missoula. Scones and coffee set outside your door at wakeup time. Later, whenever you like, the real breakfast served in a beautifully decorated dining room. Friendly hosts, great food, nice grounds and conveniently located. My wife and I stayed here two nights and were then ready for our drive back to Texas. Thanks, Tom and Nancy.

This is a wonderful place to stay in Missoula. We stayed three nights in the masters suite on our honeymoon. The balcony off our room was truly special and gave us awesome sunset views. The morning scones, baked by Tom, are exceptional and the breakfasts superb. The Mansion itself is magnificent and Tom and Nancy are great hosts, willing to give suggestions for Missoula and surrounding area if you like. We highly recommend this B&B and will be back again soon!

We spent one night on our way to ride the Hiawatha Trail. The Mansion was beautiful with a great story behind it. It was very peaceful and relaxing. Tom and Nancy were great.

My husband & I enjoy staying in B&Bs & have had the pleasure of staying at many in the Western US. The Gibson mansion was the best. A gorgeous mansion, a to-die-for bed, gracious hosts & delicious coffee & breakfast.

This is a great B&B. The house has been beautifully renovated. The breakfast was super and the hosts were friendly. Great place to stay.

Nancy and Tom were friendly, helpful and gracious hosts. The mansion is beautiful, room was very comfortable and food was wonderful. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
4.6 on April 29, 2011
I really enjoyed our stay at this B&B everything was beautiful and gracious. The owners were great, friendly but gave you privacy. The home was outstanding and the service great. If I had one complaint it would be that 2 of the rooms looked out on a fairly busy road with an Albertson's across the street. this didn't not really influence the atmosphere once you were inside, the property on the other side of the home was beautiful, just made for weddings. The location was good, easy to fine our way from there. I would diffidently go again.

Tom & Nancy instantly made us feel at home. While our trip to Missoula was not for pleasure, our stay here certainly filled us with beautiful memories! The rooms were immaculately clean and tastefully decorated, and we just love the house! Even though it was winter outside, we were warm and cozy in our very comfortable beds. We also appreciated the private baths. Can't wait for the next excuse to stay again!

Beautifully appointed B&B. Amazing garden, serene, just begging for an afternoon of quiet time. Gracious hosts. All in all, the best I have ever encountered.

I would recommend the Gibson mansion b&b without hesitation. As the weather was warm while we visited, we particularly enjoyed the garden with its romantic gazebo.
4.8 on October 06, 2010
Stayed for one night while visiting the kids in Missoula. Would have liked to stay longer, but the rooms were all booked. I have never slept inbetween more wonderful sheets. Tom and Nancy were very warm and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious and the scones and coffee at our door was a real treat. Definitely a great B&B experience.
4.6 on September 15, 2010
Tome and Nancy have created a beautiful B&B that us the perfect getaway. We love visiting Missoula and staying at the Gibson where we feel right at home with the bonus of coffee and scones delivered to our door. We love the Gibson!
5 on September 05, 2010
The only downside to this B&B is that it is on a busy street. That having been said, the Garden area is tucked away and very peaceful. Tom and Nancy have the best customer service and really make you feel at home. We rented the mansion for a wedding and they really made sure everything went off without a hitch!
4.8 on August 28, 2010
We found you online and we were so glad we did! Your B & B was welcoming and relaxing. We appreciated your hospitality which became obvious with an introductory tour that included access to coffee, ice, etc. anytime! We also liked being able to sign up for coffee and scones delivered to our room ( great!) and our choice of times for breakfast (delicious!). Should we find ourselves in Missoula again, we'll be sure to check in. Many thanks for this western welcome!

My wife and I are big fans of B&B's, and as any big fan knows B&B's are hit & miss... Gibson Mansion is a home run. Tom and Nancy are generous hosts who share every corner of their home with guests. They take pride in their beautiful old mansion and they maintain and adorn it in excellent taste. We rarely have felt more at home nor more pampered than here at this Missoula oasis. The scones at the door were excellent and breakfast even better. And what's more when we forgot some items in our room Tom and Nancy went out of their way to get them back to us. They clearly love what they do, and it shows.
5 on August 04, 2010
We stayed in this vintage home for 4 days. We were shown around the home so that we would be comfortable using the entire home. The beds and bedding were comfortable and the food was delicious! We felt like old friends when we left. The owners are very eco-concious and their knowledge of the area is outstanding. We can't wait to go back and stay again!
5 on August 03, 2010
Both Tom and Nancy were very open and gracious hosts on our recent two day visit to Missoula. The Master Suite at the Gibson mansion was very beautiful and large with an atrium, sitting area, bedroom, and second floor outdoor balcony. The coffee tray with scones outside your door before breakfast is a sweet touch! Breakfasts were delicious. Would definately stay there agian.

Truly an outstanding B&B. Restoration is exquisite in detail, comfortable, warm, and delightful. The hosting is superb with personal attention but not intrusive. Food is 4 star! and the recommendations for local restaurants, sights, and "to do" were great. A beautiful stay in a great town...we will be back!! Steve & Barbara

This was our third B&B and the best so far. Our host & hostess knew the exact amount of time to spend with us, allowing all the alone time we needed. The coffee and scones at our door each morning was the perfect start to the day. Breakfast was excellent, the Master Suite with the candles and fireplace made our stay perfect. Thank you!

This B & B is such a nice change from the chain hotels where I normally stay! I love the victorian/antique decor and the gardens!! Tom and Nancy are wonderful hosts. Their efforts at restoring this mansion are second to none and the beds are SOOO comfortable. Having WiFi is a major plus as I spend numerous hours a day on my work computer. I would highly recommend the Gibson Mansion to any business traveler who wants business travel to feel a little more like a relaxing retreat!!

We have stayed at B&B's all over the US and this was one of the absolute best. Coffee and scones left outside your room before breakfast was a 'first' for us. Charming innkeepers, lovely rooms, tasty breakfast.

The Malikie's were friendly hosts and the breakfasts, as well as the scones, were so wonderful I suggested Tom run cooking classes for guests. I strongly recommend Gibson Mansion.

Dick has always been reluctant to stay at a B&B. He felt like it would not be private enough. Gibson B&B changed his attitude. It worked out so perfectly with the 70th birthday party and dinner and the breakfast scoped a perfect 10!

The place is beautiful, comfortable and very well kept! We loved our room, balcony & meals!

Authentic Victorian style B&B and you are served like a Royal, starting with the house tour on your arrival, a coffe/tea and cake for wake-up and a great freshly prepared breakfast.

The hosts were magnificent. The home and gardens are beautiful. The food was outstanding. We would recommend this B&B to our friends.

Like the previous reviewer, we found ourselves needing to spend a night in Missoula and decided to try a B&B, canceling our reservation near the airport. What a wonderful surprise. The Master Suite is indeed spacious with a luxurious king bed. The private balcony was a peaceful spot for morning coffee, although the view to Lolo is becoming obscured by the mature, but lush foliage. The spacious garden is nonetheless perfectly manicured with several inviting 'sitting spots'. Then there is the food! The coffee and scones sitting outside our door were a true delight and the full breakfast was no less pleasing. A very restful and enjoyable stay.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. Charming place and wonderful hosts.

We had decided to stop off in Missoula and thought a B&B would be a nice change from a hotel. Staying at the Gibson Mansion B&B was fabulous. I can't think of anything but good things to say about the experience. From the hot scones delivered to our room, to the original leaded glass balcony doors, everything was just perfect! We enjoyed the "Master Suite" and I would recommend it to anyone.

Beautiful decor in all rooms and the garden is great. Tom & Nancy are the very best of hosts, nothing being too much trouble. I informed them when we booked that I was on a restrictive diet (gluten free) and was catered for wonderfully.

Our stay at the Gibson Mansion was very pleasant and comfortable. Our hosts greeted us with a tour of the mansion and provided an outstanding breakfast.

Dave's Lakeview Compact Kitchen
Dave is no stranger to Apartment Therapy. He's been a house tour participant several times and we're pretty impressed with his third time around. We're particularly impressed with his compact kitchen which infuses unlikely colors and textures, resulting in a great space.
Dave has experimented several times with decorating his home. He's an interior designer and even though his home was previously sensational, he knew that it just wasn't him. He really tried to channel his own wants, needs and loves this time around and we think he did really well.
We've noticed that Dave chose to use a lot of brown. We're not talking the typical light beige that can be found in most homes, we're talking full on brown — in several different shades. Brown can be a little tricky in the kitchen because most people go really bright and bold (bright colors tend to excite the palette and get you in the mood to eat!)
Dave's color palette is unusual, but extremely success. The brown on the tops of the walls matches the cabinets perfectly and really accent the vintage stainless steel appliances. It's such a surprising combination! And who doesn't love vintage knives and a marlin on the wall? So unexpected, but much appreciated.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (September 12, 2005) - The ETSU baseball team recently took part in the first ever Equifest Rodeo, a fund raising event benefiting the Crumley House, a brain injury rehabilitation center.
"Having 20-30 people show up to help is such a big deal, we really appreciate having the ETSU baseball team here helping us," said executive director Guynn Edwards.
The team assisted the Crumley House staff in several different capacities at the rodeo. Team members served as security, some served and sold concessions, and others worked as parking attendants for both participants and spectators.
This is the second year that the Buccaneer baseball team has helped with the Crumley House's fall fundraiser.
"It's a great opportunity to deal with different people, good people, It really humbles you to be around people whose lives have been changed forever," said junior pitcher Jeremy Hall (Gray, Tenn.).
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics takes pride in its community service activities and strives for 100 percent participation from its student-athletes, coaches and administrators throughout the year.

PMI Index jumps to nine-month high
A sharp jump in January's PMI Index got the manufacturing sector off on the right foot for 2013.
The monthly manufacturing index was at 53.1% in January, higher than analysts predicted and 2.9 percentage points higher than the December 2012 figure. It marked the 11th month out of the last 12 that the index was above the 50% mark that indicates growth in manufacturing, and it was the highest level since the index hit 54.1% in April 2012.
"Manufacturing is starting out the year on a positive note, with all five of the PMI's component indexes – new orders, production, employment, supplier deliveries and inventories – registering above 50% in January," said Bradley J. Holcomb, chair of the Institute for Supply Management Manufacturing Business Survey Committee. "The past relationship between the PMI and the overall economy indicates that the PMI for January corresponds to a 3.4% increase in real gross domestic product on an annualized basis."
The survey quotes several manufacturers as saying the manufacturing sector continues to be solid, if still a little uncertain.
"Fiscal cliff, uncertainty in general and EU economic weakness are factors causing our customers to be very tentative with commitments for product purchases in 2013," said one machinery manufacturer.
"Housing sales are trending upward in light of overall market uncertainty, translating to improving optimism in appliance market," said an appliance manufacturer."
"The general theme developing in our industry is that we can move suitable volumes. However, profit margin is elusive," added a wood products manufacturer.
The ISM's New Orders Index was at 53.3%, reversing a month of contraction in December and representing a 3.6 percentage point increase over the previous month. The production and employment indexes also were up for January, with the employment index higher for the 40th consecutive month.
The index also tracks growth in the overall economy, with a figure above 42.2% indicating growth. The PMI was above that level for the 44th consecutive month.

Watch the iQ Video
Lots of companies claim they have no-wax floors. But read the fine print, and you'll find they have no-initial-wax floors or no-wax-until-such-a-time-as-you-need-it floors. Only Johnsonite Granit and Optima with iQ construction never need wax or finish. Forever. Period.
That's because iQ isn't a topcoat or a wear layer. It's a proprietary technology. And because you never wax or finish, iQ floors are great for your bottom line. Not just because they cost less to maintain but because they cause less disruption to the people who use the space.
Open the iQ Calculator
Less wax and finish mean better indoor air quality. And that means fewer chemicals being washed into our rivers and lakes. Managing a facility is a series of choices and trade-offs. Each path leads to a dozen consequences. Each with an impact on your bottom line, the people who use the space and the environment.
When it comes to resilient flooring, which path will you choose?

You didn't study fluid mechanics in the engineering core?
Ball valves have smooth edges, conducive to one smooth flow path. Butterfly valves have a cutting edge, splitting the flow and providing a catch point surface. Gate valves on the otherhand provide finer tuning...
What do you think are the relative merits between butterfly and ball valves?I figure the butterfly valve is easier to clean, but the ball is less likely to get clogged. Anything I'm missing?
Well ya didn't specify an application, Tom.
That is awesome Martin, since the pic lacks scale (but not limescale) it looked to me like a mattress shoved in there

Wisconsin Kills WiscNet, Because The Only Good Infrastructure Is AT&T Infrastructure
from the infrastructure dept
The move was accomplished via an eleventh hour provision AT&T managed to get inserted into the budget, in a state ranked 43rd in broadband access nationwide. Christopher Mitchell at Community Broadband Networks directs our attention to the fact that Internet 2 President H. David Lambert tried to help prevent WiscNet's defunding, writing a letter to Wisconsin's Governor Walker regarding his since-successful effort to help AT&T kill WiscNet:We see this all too often in the telco world. If there were real competition, this probably wouldn't be an issue. But so many telcos seem to focus on making sure that they're the only game in town, creating a monopoly -- which is a real "free market" problem. Contrary to what people are saying, this isn't a "free market" issue, this is an issue of regulatory capture, leading to diminished infrastructure.AT&T's ability to crush any and all public Wisconsin broadband benefit projects would be slightly-less obxnoxious if AT&T was providing the kind of infrastructure that made all of these projects unnecessary, but they're simply not. AT&T connectivity in many parts of Wisconsin consists of over-priced T1s, and lawmakers there are more than happy to write laws protecting AT&T ability to not only over charge for outdated infrastructure, but ensuring that connectivity-strained communities have no alternatives. Wisconsin's AT&T-run government is the future for all states without serious U.S. political reform, and the result will inevitably be disastrous for the future of cutting-edge connectivity.
Yet, just when other states in the country are scrambling to invest in network infrastructure to help their universities rise to meet the international research and education challenge, this legislation could essentially disconnect Wisconsin from the global research it now leads. The result would be devastating. As the only intensive research institution in the United States that would be barred from participating in its own networks, Wiscnet and Internet2, the University, with respect to the ability to participate in global research, would become an immediate equivalent of a third-world University.

After years of tweaking, patching, and otherwise cajoling the Microsoft Windows XP operating system, many administrators and users feel comfortable with their current systems. But now the writing is on the wall, and the dominance of Windows XP in the marketplace is slowly but surely being squeezed by Windows Vista, Linux, Mac OS X, and eventually Windows 7.
Like it or not, information technology professionals have no choice but to plan for another operating system migration. The aging equipment sitting on many a user's desk is going to have to be replaced, and that will likely mean a new operating system.
Have you been planning for this eventuality? Would you like to know what your peers are thinking on this subject? I certainly would.
To get the ball rolling and to give us a starting point for discussion, I created the following set of poll questions. The idea is to get a glimpse of the general thinking among IT pros and then expand on the topic to gain a little more in-depth collective insight.
Please don't scoff at the idea — the TechRepublic Community is an excellent barometer for the industry.

The capacitated single-allocation hub location problem revisited: A note on a classical formulation (2009)
Denote by G = (N;A) a complete graph where N is the set of nodes and A is the set of edges. Assume that a °ow wij should be sent from each node i to each node j (i; j 2 N). One possibility is to send these °ows directly between the corresponding pairs of nodes. However, in practice this is often neither e±cient nor costly attractive because it would imply that a link was built between each pair of nodes. An alternative is to select some nodes to become hubs and use them as consolidation and redistribution points that altogether process more e±ciently the flow in the network. Accordingly, hubs are nodes in the graph that receive tra±c (mail, phone calls, passengers, etc) from di®erent origins (nodes) and redirect this tra±c directly to the destination nodes (when a link exists) or else to other hubs. The concentration of tra±c in the hubs and its shipment to other hubs lead to a natural decrease in the overall cost due to economies of scale.
A general multi-period network redesign problem arising in the context of strategic supply chain planning (SCP) is studied. Several aspects of practical relevance in SCP are captured namely, multiple facility layers with different types of facilities, flows between facilities in the same layer, direct shipments to customers, and facility relocation. An efficient two-phase heuristic approach is proposed for obtaining feasible solutions to the problem, which is initially modeled as a large-scale mixed-integer linear program. In the first stage of the heuristic, a linear programming rounding strategy is applied to second initial values for the binary location variables in the model. The second phase of the heuristic uses local search to correct the initial solution when feasibility is not reached or to improve the solution when its quality does not meet given criteria. The results of an extensive computational study performed on randomly generated instances are reported.
In this paper, an extension to the classical capacitated single-allocation hub location problem is studied in which the size of the hubs is part of the decision making process. For each potential hub a set of capacities is assumed to be available among which one can be chosen. Several formulations are proposed for the problem, which are compared in terms of the bound provided by the linear programming relaxation. Di®erent sets of inequalities are proposed to enhance the models. Several preprocessing tests are also presented with the goal of reducing the size of the models for each particular instance. The results of the computational experiments performed using the proposed models are reported.

All-Ireland winning boss Jim McGuinness is ready to work his magic with Glasgow Celtic – but his new job won't interfere with Donegal's defense of the Sam Maguire.
McGuinness has agreed a part-time role as a sports psychologist with the Scottish League champions.
He agreed the deal with majority shareholder Dermot Desmond and manager Neil Lennon after watching Celtic's historic Champions League win against Barcelona last week.
The former Donegal footballer will initially work with young players at the club, but Lennon has admitted he will use McGuinness's skills with the first team where necessary.
The Donegal County Board congratulated McGuinness on his appointment and confirmed it will not affect his position as football team manager.
McGuinness himself said, "It's going to be great. You've got the best of both worlds in terms of your day job in sport and then your passion with Donegal.
"I have looked at that, I've sat down and worked it out and there will be no drop off at my own attendance at training and the input I put into the team so I'm very thankful for that.
"We've been on a great journey for the last two years and obviously I think the world of them.
"It would have been very difficult to walk away from them so I'm delighted I don't have to do that.
"I'm looking forward to starting the ball rolling in the next week or two in terms of weights programs and getting everybody back on track."
Celtic boss Lennon is adamant he will not interfere with McGuinness' role as Donegal manager.
Lennon stated, "It will not affect what he is doing with Donegal. He will probably initially come in on a three day a week basis and take things from there.
"We didn't want it to ruin what he has been doing with the Donegal team because they have been magnificent this year."
Reports in the Irish media have suggested that McGuinness could earn as much as $200,000 a year deal to act as a sports psychologist with Celtic.
He said, "It's a fantastic opportunity for me on an individual level and I'm very thankful to Neil Lennon for giving me this chance and bringing me into the club.
"Obviously I work in amateur sport and the opportunity to work in professional sport in any capacity is a wonderful chance for me and one I'm very much looking forward to.
"You are really looking to create a finished product that is good enough to be pushing for the first team and creating a stronger squad at the club.
"We will hopefully look at every single player as an individual project and move them forward as best we can."
The Donegal boss also explained his growing relationship with Celtic boss Lennon.
He added, "I suppose the bottom line is that it has been through my work with Donegal.
"We started off at Donegal at a very low base, a low level, but we have worked very hard in moving the thing forward and getting people to up a level and ultimately getting success on the pitch.
"So I suppose Neil Lennon was looking in at that and watching that unfold. I was invited over, then saw around the facilities and met all the coaching staff and the support people."
