Access to MySQL
Hi. I've spent a good amount of time searching the forums on this issue, but nothing seems to answer my specific question. I need to take a .mdb file created in Access and extract certain columns of data for import into MySQL. The process needs to be automated. For example, a nightly-run cron job would run a PHP script that somehow reads the .mdb file, takes what it needs, and imports that into MySQL. Or, the cron job could run some other process that accomplishes the same result. I'm most comfortable with PHP.
* We do not have Access. Just .mdb files that were created in Access.
* Getting a CSV export from Access is not an option in this case
* We're using Linux
Any ideas? Most of the things I found in other posts seemed to deal with desktop applications that could manually process the conversions, or they required that a CSV file be created from Access, or they required the Access software itself. None of that will work for us in this case.
Thank you in advance!

I am going on my first big game hunt this fall.
I live in Colorado. I'll be hunting one of the wilderness areas in second or third rifle season (Oct 20 - Nov 11). I plan on staying ~5 days. I have an ultralight pack about 3 liters that I love, but it is pretty light-duty and I have visions of everything being a bloody mess when I'm packing out mule deer or elk quarters.
I was thinking about buying a pack frame from a company like wilderness packs, then removing the pack and tying game bags on to carry it out. But, I also kind of hate this idea because I am really small and hate to carry a heavier pack than I need to. The badlands sacrifice looks awesome, but I've heard that it doesn't fit small people well.
Any other smaller guys out there that hunt backcountry alone? What do you use?

Lucas Cranach was one of the greatest European painters of the 16th century.More popular and even more successful economically than his contemporary Albrecht Dürer, Lucas Cranach has probably had the most enduring influence on Germany's visual world.
As the leading member of a German family of artists, Lucas Cranach was a painter, printmaker and book illustrator with a distinctly individual manner and a highly successful business. He was one of the most versatile artists of the Renaissance, court artist to the Saxon electors, a staunch supporter of the Reformation, and a close friend of Martin Luther. During the course of his long career, Cranach created striking portraits and expressive devotional works, propaganda for the Protestant cause, as well as his own brand of erotic female nude and inventive treatments of biblical, mythological and classical subjects. A court painter, he also rubbed shoulders with great figures such as Martin Luther, while liberating nudity and the power of women in a sensual, anti-academic style. Some 150 paintings, drawings, and rarely seen engravings show the authenticity and originality of his sophisticated artistry, his work in the studio, and his close bonds with his German, Italian, and Dutch contemporaries, including Dürer and Metsys.

John Orsen
Men's Lacrosse Travels to Hofstra Saturday
Head Coach Joe Amplo and Assistant Coach John Orsen return to their alma mater
Men's Lacrosse To Hold Open Tryouts
Tryouts will be held Sept. 7 at Valley Fields
Marquette Lacrosse Annouces Fall Camps and Clinic
Individual instruction & team tournaments available
John Orsen was named an assistant coach at Marquette University in May 2011. At the conclusion of the 2014 season, Orsen was promoted to the team's defensive coordinator.
"I am thrilled to announce the hiring of John Orsen as one of the first members of the Marquette men's lacrosse staff," said Amplo. "John has overachieved in everything he has done. Entering college, he was a standout offensive player and throughout his career has played every position, earning All-American honors as a senior defender and becoming one of the best players at his position in the world today."
During the 2013 season, Orsen coached the defense to a 5-8 record a #18 national ranking in ground ball margin.
In the 2014 season, Orsen's defense came up big in key games. MU posted a 4-2 record in its first season of BIG EAST play, winning each game by a single goal. The defense was key in holding St. John's and Rutgers scoreless late in the game. Against Georgetown, the defense limited the Hoays to one-second half goal allowing for a comeback victory in overtime. Defenseman B.J. Grill was unanimously named to First Team All-BIG EAST, the only defender to garner votes from all coaches. Liam Byrnes was also awarded to Second Team All-BIG EAST as a long stick midfielder.
The Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., native was a freshman during Amplo's first season as an assistant coach with the Pride. Orsen successfully transitioned from attack to defense while at Hofstra, garnering an STX/USILA Division I All-American honorable mention nod in his final season.
"I respect Joe Amplo a lot," Orsen said of his former Hofstra coach. "He's a great coach and a great person. I've always had a passion for lacrosse and I think coaching was the next step. I like getting out there with the players, breaking down film and teaching them about the sport. Marquette University is a great school. It's in the BIG EAST. It's a premier conference to be in. You get everything from a great education to great competition on the field.
As a senior in 2006, he led Hofstra to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division I Lacrosse Championship, the furthest postseason run in program history. A captain in both his junior and senior seasons, Orsen was named to the 2006 All-Colonial Athletic Association First Team while leading the team to a 17-2 overall record.
He played in 57 games during his career, scoring 15 goals and tallying six assists.
Following his collegiate career, Orsen was selected in the fourth round, as the 40th overall pick, by the Long Island Lizards of Major League Lacrosse. He was also drafted by the National Lacrosse League's (NLL) New York Titans in indoor play.
He currently plays for the Colorado Mammoth of the NLL in indoor play.
In 2010, Orsen was one of 12 players named to the NLL All-Pro team after he anchored a defense that allowed the fewest goals in the league.
Orsen was a part of Team USA in the 2011 World Indoor Lacrosse Championship in Prague, Czech Republic in May.
He graduated from Hofstra University in 2006 with a degree in marketing and additional studies in accounting, management and finance. Prior to his role with Trilogy Lacrosse, Orsen worked at a New York-based hedge fund.
"His selfless attitude, contagious excitement, and drive to be the best will allow him to be a great mentor for our student-athletes," Amplo added. The most impressive thing about John was his desire to become a part of the Marquette community. It is most important to me to surround myself with individuals who believe in Marquette University and possess the character traits that will enable us to build a championship program. John fits those criteria perfectly."

Hoffman Remains Undefeated in Ivy League Play, Huang Rolls
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's tennis team lost its final home match of the season Sunday, falling to No. 60 Dartmouth, 5-2. For the second straight match, No. 73 Yale narrowly lost the doubles point, while Dartmouth backed up its doubles performance with four wins in singles play.
Playing indoors at the Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center due to inclement weather, Yale (13-10, 2-4 Ivy League) was unable to get off to a strong start as the Elis' No. 2 team of sophomore Patrick Chase and junior John Huang lost 8-5. The Bulldogs came roaring back in No. 1 doubles as juniors Daniel Hoffman and Marc Powers managed to upset Dartmouth's nationally ranked No. 67 team of Alex de Chatellus and Michael Laser, 9-7. The Yale tandem now boasts a 16-4 record on the season. Only moments later, however, Yale's No. 3 team of senior captain Erik Blumenkranz and classmate Joel Samaha came up short against Dartmouth's team of Cameron Ghorbani and Michael Jacobs, 9-7. It was the senior duo's final match at the Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center.
In singles, Yale's No. 2 player, Powers, got off to a strong start, but eventually succumbed to the Big Green's Xander Centenari, 6-3, 6-2. At No. 1 singles, Huang beat Laser 6-3, 6-0 to put the Bulldogs on the board. At No. 6 singles, Yale junior Zachary Dean was unable to sustain his one-set lead and fell to Brandon DeBot 4-6, 6-1, 6-1. At this point in the match, Yale's No. 4, Blumenkranz, was deep into a third set with Dartmouth's Chris Kipouras. The Bulldogs' captain had lost the opening set only to storm back to win a tight second set. In the third set, however, Kipouras got an early lead and quashed all resistance from Blumenkranz to clinch the match for the Big Green by a final score of 6-2, 5-7, 6-3. In the next match to finish, Yale's No. 5 player, sophomore Kyle Dawson, lost a back-and-forth match to Chris Ho, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. Hoffman, however, playing at No. 3 singles, maintained his undefeated record in Ivy League competition by beating Ghorbani 7-5, 7-5.
Dartmouth (18-3, 4-2 Ivy League) hits the road again next Saturday to play No. 24 Harvard.
In light of Yale's final match at home this season, Alex Dorato, Cary Leeds Head Coach of Men's Tennis, had high praise for his team and for his senior leaders, Blumenkranz and Samaha, in particular.
"This is one of my all-time favorite teams," said Dorato. "They found the fine line of pushing each other to the limit and yet still remaining friends, and I credit the seniors [for this]."
The Bulldogs will travel to play No. 51 Brown next Saturday at 2 p.m. in their final match of the season.

My judgment was vacated. I sent in documentation from the court and a request to delete to all 3 CRA. Looked at my USAA monitoring today, and on Equifax the judgment is showing as satified. Today is the 7th, I received an email from them just yesterday saying the investigation has been started. If documentation from the courts will not get them to remove this what are my options here? I'm getting frustrated with them. This will be the 4th account that is listing incorectly that they will not remove.
Hey can you please PM me information on how you went about getting your judgment vacated?
Thanks in advance.
I thought vacated was supposed to be as if it didn't happen? That's not "satisfied" and the CRA is wrong if that's what they're doing. I would keep disputing it but perhaps without the documentation, so then when they try to validate it, it doesn't exist? I'm asking my BK lawyer to file a motion to vacate an old judgement this week but I understand you can file the motion and do it yourself. In my case, it should have been done right after my BK in 2006 but wasn't.
If they verify the accuracy of the reporting, then I would send the CRA a request for their description of the procedure they used to verify the accuracy.
This is commonly referred to as a method of verification (MOV) request, and is provided under FCRA 611(a)(6)(B)(iii) and 611(a)(7).
CRAs will commonly, under their reinvestigation rights, simply get a copy of current public record documents from the court, and use that as a basis for their determination.
If the judgment has been vacated from court records, it is kinda unlikely that the CRA obtained any such record to support their verification.
Being vacated does mean "it never occured"
Once I get the paperwork from them Robert, I plan to do just that. I'm actually having a number of issues with Equifax "verifying" incorrect information. One of the creditors is telling me they are not reporting the alleged information to Equifax (deleted from Experian and transunion), and they have even agreed to do a 3 way conference call with Equifax. I do not know if that will work, or if Equifax will go along with it, I just havn't had time during normal business hours to do it.
I'm going through this now so I've been googling like crazy and just reading different experiences on it. What most people seem to think is that after you get it vacated, wait at least 30-60 days before approaching the CRA with a dispute. That gives it time to cycle out of the records and then it seems there's more success with them being unable to verify it. Just a thought!

Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis had no desire to watch the New England-Buffalo game becaue he had no control of the situation. It's just as well.
The Patriots kept the AFC's second seed and a first-round bye with a win over the Bills, and the Bengals drew the Chargers at 1 p.m. Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium against the Chargers. Lewis got what he wanted: a Sunday game with no break in routine.
The game comes five days shy of the 32nd anniversary of The Freezer Bowl, the AFC Championship game in Cincinnati at Riverfront Stadium in which the Bengals beat the Chargers in minus-59 degree wind chill. But it was only four weeks ago the Bengals beat the Chargers in San Diego, 17-10. The Chargers have won four straight since and the Bengals have won five of their last six.
No such drama this year, it looks like. The National Weather Service in Wilmington, Ohio has a very tentative forecast of 39 degrees and sunny on Saturday and 39 degrees and rainy on Sunday. The Bengals have about 10,000 tickets available for their first home playoff game since 2009.
Fans also may contact Ticketmaster by phone at 800-745-3000. During business hours, tickets also may be purchased through the Bengals Ticket Hotline at 513-621-3550, or toll-free at 866-621-8383 (TDTD), or in person at the Paul Brown Stadium ticket office.
The Bengals actually have a player on the current roster who was at The Freezer Bowl. Kicker
A win on Sunday and the Bengals head to the divisional round the next week in Foxboro against the Patriots.
WHIT TALKS RESPECT: Even more important than the perfect home season, or Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis's record-tying 11th victory, and maybe just as big as the shot at a second seed is that Sunday's 34-17 handling of the Ravens came at the hands of the defending Super Bowl champions that have had their way with the
"We were the bullies today," said cornerback
Left tackle/guard/wherever on Sunday,
"This game wasn't about being 8-0 home, it was about respect," Whitworth said. "As good as we've played the last couple of years, we've yet to earn respect.
"We've won the division but I don't think anybody thought we'd win. They thought Baltimore would come in here and beat us again. I think people don't look at us in the same light as they do Pittsburgh and Baltimore. When we lose, they say, 'We told you so.' When they lose they say, 'They'll get it fixed and they'll be back.' We don't have respect as good as we are. Not only is this team really talented, if it starts to play the way that commands respect we'll be hard for a lot of people to handle. Until we hold that trophy, we won't have enough (respect)."
TAKE A BOW: How good is this Bengals defense? The best in 30 years. Cincinnati finished third in the NFL rankings, the best finish by the Bengals since the 1983 team led the NFL. But it doesn't begin to describe their dominance at home this season. On Sunday they held an offense to one TD or less for the fourth time. The Bengals also finished the season holding foes to 23 percent on third down at 24-for-104.
INJURY ROUNDUP: This is how banged up the offensive line was in the second half. Center
"We had nobody left," Cook said. "Next man up."
And Cook, who injured his foot simply running chasing an Andy Dalton interception, says he's getting tests on his foot Sunday night. Both Whitworth and head coach Marvin Lewis thought the day's only serious injury was the one to Smith.
"Something popped just running," Cook said. "I didn't get hit at all."
The Bengals showed their depth and resourcefulness up front while losing three starters during the course of the game and still allowing no sacks while generating nearly 400 yards of offense. They've already lost left guard
But as Whitworth left in a boot, he said he was fine and thought the offensive line would be intact for the next game, be it this week or next.
"It's another testament to how great this group has been this year," Whitworth said. "You talk about unsung heroes of the year. What guy hasn't stepped in, played well, and done the job? It's been impressive."
» Barely after telling his coaches he would never commit another fourth-down faux pas, cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick sent the fans to their cars Sunday with his first NFL touchdown on a 21-yard interception return with 4:07 left that accounted for the final score.
It marked the sixth defensive touchdown at home this season with cornerback
Less than four minutes before, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco had flung a fourth-and-10 bomb from midfield that Kirkpatrick caught at the Bengals 16 instead of knocking it down.
"When you're so young and hungry like I am and you see that ball, that's all I saw," Kirkpatrick said. "I told them next time I will not catch the ball. I will drop the ball so our team will be in a better position. Because I don't want to be selfish and I don't want to be looked at as such."
But he recovered when wide receiver Torrey Smith stumbled and Kirkpatrick was there waiting.
"It was a Cover 2 and the guy just fell down. When he fell, I just happened to see the ball at the last second. I was just trying to hold on for a dear life," he said.
Kirkpatrick will give the ball to his father because he called it Sunday morning. When Kirkpatrick stopped by his house before the game after the night at the hotel, his father was there drinking coffee and telling him, "I feel a pick-six today."
"He never talks about it. He's a pastor. He never really played sports besides baseball. When he tells me something like that and it comes true, you just have to thank the man above," Kirkpatrick said. "He deserves the ball today."
And his mother is going to get his No. 27 jersey after he rummaged through the laundry hamper.
"They washed my last one and they were about to start washing this one, but I had to go get it, I had to go save it," he said. "This one is going to Mom."
Kirkpatrick's two picks gave him the team lead with Jones with three each.
» Wide receiver A.J. Green missed the single-season franchise receiving record by 15 yards, but he said he'd rather have the Torry Holt record. On Sunday he passed Holt for the second-most yards by a receiver in his first three years in the NFL, behind only Randy Moss.
"I'll take Torry Holt right now," he said with a smile. "I've got 10 more years in me."
He finished with 1,426 yards, fourth in the NFL.
» Dalton's fourth interception of the game could have been an absolute killer if the Ravens could move the ball. Leading 27-17, Dalton threw it from the Ravens 1 with 8:23 left. Running back
"It came from the sideline that they were in a different personnel grouping and they were going to outnumber us in the front. We tagged A.J. with a fade ball and he just underthrew it. He should have handed it off. I'm not mad at him. We won the game 34-17. Had we lost the game, it would have stuck out in our minds for a long time. But luckily our defense covered our backs because that was a terrible play and terrible call."
It sounded like everybody took the blame. Dalton said he should have ran it in or handed it off and Green said, "I should have broken it up, batted it down."
It was only Dalton's third career red-zone pick and Lewis reminded people that Dalton had three red-zone touchdown passess last week against Minnesota. Smith's interception snapped the Bengals streak of 14 straight red-zone trips with a touchdown.
"We make the decisions we make and we live with them. Last week we scored touchdowns on those plays and they were great plays weren't they?" Lewis asked. "The quarterback has things that he does based on looks, so he makes the determination at the line of scrimmage."
» Dalton's 33 touchdown passes and 4,296 yards are club records. The 20 interceptions are a career high, boosted by Sunday's career-high four interceptions. But as the clock wound down Sunday, Whitworth had some words for Dalton."I told him for 25 years nobody has gone 8-0 at home," Whitworth said. "You take four interceptions and somebody will forget that in five minutes. But what they won't be able to say is another quarterback in the last 25 years has gone 8-0 (at home). You wouldn't trade that for anything. I told him because you wouldn't trade not having any interceptions for that is why you are who you are."
» According to NFL.com, Bengals Pro Bowl WILL backer Vontaze Burfict's lead held up and he won the NFL tackling title with 171. The press-box stats on Sunday had him for another 14, one for a loss.
» At 90-85-1, Lewis is back to five games over. 500 in the regular season for the first time since the end of the 2007 season.

EMERYVILLE, Calif., Sept. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Adamas Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a privately held company, announced today that it has initiated a Phase 2/3 clinical trial of its proprietary investigational drug ADS-5102 (amantadine HCl extended release) for the treatment of levodopa induced dyskinesia (LID) in patients with Parkinson's disease. Called EASED™ (Extended Release Amantadine Safety and Efficacy Study in Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesia), this study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of three dose levels of ADS-5102 in the treatment of LID.
"Commencement of this Phase 2/3 clinical study of ADS-5102 culminates years of Adamas research into the use of amantadine as a treatment for LID in Parkinson's disease, and represents the first well controlled, rigorously powered study of amantadine aimed at licensure in this indication," said Gregory Went, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Adamas. "The EASED™ study will build upon our successful Phase 1 studies in healthy volunteers, which confirmed the desired target pharmacokinetic profile and potential tolerability improvement associated with ADS-5102."
Dr. Matthew Stern, Professor of Neurology, University of Pennsylvania, a member of Adamas' Clinical Advisory Board added, "LID represents a significant unmet need in advanced Parkinson's disease. Unfortunately there is no drug approved for this condition and patients face limited treatment options. We know that amantadine has some utility in treating LID in Parkinson's disease – but a well controlled, rigorously powered study of this drug has not been completed to date. "
EASED™ is a randomized, placebo controlled, clinical trial that will enroll up to 80 Parkinson's disease patients at approximately 25 study sites in the US. The study's primary endpoint is reduction in LID as assessed by changes in the Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS). Secondary endpoints include assessment of "on time" without troublesome dyskinesia and reduction in fatigue. The study is enrolling patients aged 30 to 80 who have Parkinson's disease and who are experiencing troublesome LID. The protocol calls for study participants to be randomized to receive a low, medium or high dose of ADS-5102 or placebo for eight weeks with a two week follow up. An Independent Data Monitoring Committee will monitor the safety of participants throughout the duration of the study. Adamas expects the study to be completed in 2012.
Dr. Rajesh Pahwa, MD, Professor of Neurology, Kansas University Medical Center, a member of the EASED™ study steering committee remarked, "The EASED™ study is designed to evaluate a novel formulation of amantadine and to establish a dose response in treating LID. At the conclusion of this study, we will have a much better picture of the benefits of ADS-5102 in the treatment of LID, as well as its impact on additional motor and non-motor symptoms that affect the quality of life of patients with Parkinson's disease. Of additional importance, if this study is successful, we will confirm our ability to reliably study LID and pave the way for future innovations."
Parkinson's disease patients can potentially gain access to this study through the Fox Trial Finder of the Michael J. Fox Foundation at https://foxtrialfinder.michaeljfox.org/trial/2541. In addition, information on the study can be found at www.EASEDPD.com, www.PDTrials.org and http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01397422.
About ADS-5102
ADS-5102 is a proprietary formulation of amantadine in development for the treatment of levodopa induced dyskinesia (LID) in patients with Parkinson's disease. ADS-5102 has a pharmacokinetic profile designed to overcome the dose limiting side effects associated with immediate release forms of amantadine, while offering potential for enhanced efficacy. The novel pharmacokinetic profile of ADS-5102 is characterized by higher plasma concentrations during the daytime hours when the dyskinesia as well as the motor and non-motor symptoms of the disease are at their peak, and low plasma concentrations overnight, which may reduce sleep disturbance and vivid dreams occasionally associated with amantadine. In addition, ADS-5102 exhibits a reduced initial rate of rise in plasma concentration, which is expected to improve overall CNS tolerability of amantadine.
About Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesia
Levodopa remains the gold standard for the treatment of the debilitating motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. However the utility of levodopa therapy is limited by levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID), a troublesome condition that over time afflicts nearly all patients who take levodopa. Patients with early onset Parkinson's disease seem to be particularly likely to develop troublesome LID. About 200,000 Parkinson's disease patients in the US are estimated to be suffering from LID of moderate to severe intensity. Reducing or eliminating LID and improving on-time without troublesome dyskinesia are among the greatest needs in the treatment of advanced Parkinson's disease.
About Adamas Pharmaceuticals
Adamas is a clinical stage pharmaceutical company developing novel formulations and combinations of aminoadamantanes designed for superior efficacy, tolerability, and compliance. Adamas' has three (3) programs in mid-to-late stage clinical development including ADS-5102 for the treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) in Parkinson's disease, ADS-8704 for the treatment of dementia, and ADS-8902, triple combination antiviral drug therapy (TCAD) for the treatment of serious or complicated influenza. Adamas is headquartered in Emeryville, California, with operations in Bangalore, India. For more information about Adamas, please visit www.adamaspharma.com.

February Vacation? A Letter From Supt. John Brady — No School on Wednesday
I hope that all members of our community are surviving this historic weather event in the best possible manner. We are encountering a truly unique set of circumstances with the removal of snow and the creation of safe passage for busses in the Town of Woodbridge.
Bethany and Orange have been cleared for bus travel, but Woodbridge has not. We have been communicating with Woodbridge Town officials who have been doing their best to clear roadways so that school busses might travel safely. We have been advised that Woodbridge roadways will not be sufficiently clear to allow for bussing on Wednesday, February 13. Therefore Amity Schools will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, February 13. This closure includes the middle school in Orange. I will be meeting with Town officials once again at 9:00 a.m. Wednesday and will have an update for you after that meeting.
I want to thank all members of the Amity community for your patience and understanding. Please know that we are eager to resume schooling and will do so at the earliest possible time.
Some have asked about use of days during the February vacation period for make-up of days lost due to the blizzard. The Board of Education considered the option of using February days when it revised the calendar last fall to account for lost days at that time. The decision was made to stay with the published calendar which takes days from the April vacation period. Numerous parents asked the Board not to go back on its published calendar as they had made plans accordingly.
Please stay tuned for updates as we receive information on road conditions in Woodbridge.

Juno Exits Safe Mode late Friday
Sat, 2013-10-12 01:48
NASA's Jupiter bound Juno probe exited safe mode late Friday.
The exit occurred at 5:12 p.m., EDT, according to a statement from the Southwest Research Institute of San Antonio, the institutional home to Scott Bolton, principal investigator for the $1.1 billion NASA funded mission to study the atmospheric structure as well as the origins and evolution of Jupiter, the solar system's largest planet.

"(Juno) exited safe mode at 5:12 p.m. EDT today," SWRI reported. " The spacecraft is currently operating nominally and all systems are fully functional."
Launched on Aug. 5, 2011, the four ton deep space probe swept 350 miles over the southern tip of South Africa on Wednesday at 3:21 p.m., EDT, as part of a gravity assist strategy to reach Jupiter on July 4, 2016. On arrival, the camera laden Juno spacecraft is to maneuver into a polar orbit for a one year primary mission.
Soon after Wednesday's successfuly flyby, Juno entered safe mode, a condition that ensures the solar powered spacecraft can generate electricity while in a minimum functional status that allows ground control teams to sort out the difficulties. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, of Denver, is in charge of day to day Juno opertions. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory developed the spacecraft and is responsible for navigation.
Soon after Wednesday's closest approach, a signal was received by the European Space Agency's 15-meter ground station antenna just north of Perth, Australia, indicating the spacecraft initiated an automated fault-protection action called "safe mode."
The spacecraft is pre-programmed to fault to safe mode if the flight computer perceives conditions on the spacecraft are not as expected.
Juno responded by turning off instruments and a few non-critical spacecraft components, and pointed the spacecraft toward the sun to ensure the solar arrays received power.
" The spacecraft acted as expected during the transition into and while in safe mode," SWRI said in the status report issued late Friday.
"The Juno science team is continuing to analyze data acquired by the spacecraft's science instruments during the flyby. Most data and images were down linked prior to the safe mode event."
Juno carries nine instruments developed by an international science team. Findings from the mission may ultimately help to explain the conditions under which the solar system formed.

By Charles Pollock
Much has been written lately, including in the opinion pages of The Daily Item, about what I call the regional imperative: the need for communities to work together to make each other more vibrant. Since I'm a great believer myself, I applaud the Greater Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce for recently convening representatives of five nearby "Main Street" programs – the Danville Business Alliance, Lewisburg Downtown Partnership, Mifflinburg Heritage and Revitalization Association, Selinsgrove Projects Inc. and Sunbury Revitalization Inc. – as well as the Columbia-Montour Visitors Bureau and Susquehanna Valley Visitors Bureau.
The purpose of the day was to educate volunteer board members about the time-tested "Main Street Approach," a proven, though flexible, set of guidelines for downtown development and redevelopment. Bringing together organizations that seemingly compete for downtown customers was truly noteworthy, but it really shouldn't shock us at all.
Countless businesses in countless industries have learned to play off each others' strengths, and downtowns should be no different. Attracting shoppers, visitors and homebuyers is not altogether a zero-sum game. A stronger Milton can strengthen Lewisburg and vice versa. Ditto for Selinsgrove and Danville, Sunbury and Mifflinburg, and many other possible combinations.
Main Street Approach
Of course, each community ultimately has to be very smart about its own knitting, so I also applaud the embracing throughout this area of the Main Street Approach. This is centered on having a strong, professional manager for the downtown (what mall wouldn't have a manager?), and having that manager working hand-in-glove with a well-structured volunteer organization. Then the combined effort must be focused on business retention and recruitment, "branding" and promoting the particular downtown's unique set of appeals, and historic preservation.
To use the example with which I'm most familiar, which is Lewisburg and its eight-year-old Downtown Partnership, the town can thank the organization for its role in keeping Market Street storefronts fully occupied, for numerous façade renovations, for a full array of events and festivals throughout the year, and for Lewisburg's compelling online presence at www.lewisburgpa.com.
The Partnership's role in effecting these things is often indirect. The best metaphor for the Partnership's work is chemical catalysis. The Partnership has been the change-agent for a multitude of projects, including the current collaboration between Bucknell University and downtown merchants that not only has produced direct benefits (student foot traffic in Market Street shops, for example), but also has led to additional joint endeavors, such as a residential neighborhood improvement program that brings together Bucknell, the Borough of Lewisburg, private citizens, and others.
Susquehanna River
In the next few years, the Lewisburg Downtown Partnership will focus on creating the best possible business mix for Lewisburg in the core commercial district, increasing the downtown's user-friendliness in various ways, including parking, pedestrian movement, and signage. The Partnership will also work to reconnect Lewisburg to the Susquehanna River, both physically and psychologically. The result will be a community attractive to the rising "creative class," representing the workers and work of the 21st century, as well as the area's traditional and much-prized residents.
Lewisburg's success will enhance other communities in several ways, including the provision of "best practices" to other volunteer-based organizations working to advance their towns. Equally important will be the synergy between and among communities, which gets stronger and stronger as each piece on the playing board acquires new luster.
Each Main Street program requires local funding, whether to match state grants or to support the development effort entirely when state funding is no longer is available. The Partnership is currently spearheading a $300,000 'Campaign for Lewisburg' which will fully fund the organization from 2008-2010. It is my hope that every citizen and business will play a role, by contributing financial support, as well as volunteer effort.
Making excellent sense
When one stops to think about likely outcomes when serious effort isn't being made to preserve or revive downtowns – the physical deterioration, the loss of a social hub, the decline in property values and business fortunes, or the drying up of the necessary stream of potential new residents – I believe that support for the Lewisburg Downtown Partnership or Selinsgrove Projects Inc. or the rest of the Main Street programs hereabouts, makes excellent sense.
I hope readers will take a moment to do that thinking, and will then respond generously when asked to support downtowns throughout the Susquehanna Valley.

Writers eventually recognized that keeping them together as much as possible (especially as Jo's family diminished) was as close to a "core" as SFT would have, so they became business partners in ventures like the Riverboat, the Bed & Breakfast and even running an apartment complex. But, even as friendly & professional as Mary Stuart and Larry Haines were OFF camera, they were definitely NOT "Jo and Stu." Late in the show's run, in a last gasp effort for storylines, writers tried to force feed a romance between the long-time cronies. Larry was the kind of actor who would say his lines and hit his marks, so he didn't fight it as I recall...even as ludicrous as it seemed to anyone who'd even paid attention to the show. Mary, however, had a creative interest in her character...something almost non-existent in today's TV world. She not only wouldn't play it, she COULDN'T. As I recall, the whole thing fell apart in a matter of 5-10 episodes and Stu was pushed over to Anita Gilette's "Wilma" character and Jo toward Jack Betts' "David." Mary didn't want any part of that pairing either and, when the show wrapped, "Wilma & David" were together and "Jo & Stu" remained what they always were, and in our imaginations, always would be: besties. That last scene on the McCleary porch says it all, especially when Jo tearfully admits that their 35 year friendship has been her life's touchstone.
Interestingly, a year or so before SFT's end, Mary wrote a treatment for a storyline about a powerful, mysterious businessman named Darius...who would come to Henderson and start taking over everything (think Alan Spaulding). He'd find a formidable adversary in Jo, the unofficial keeper of Henderson's history...but the two would also have a strong attraction to each other, not unlike that which she and John Aniston's "Martin Tourneur" played so well. It was a smart plan to revamp the show on a longterm basis...working with established characters viewers loved. Instead, quick, ramshackle killer storylines bumped off key players and the "great flood" was an Etch-a-Sketch attempt to wipe the slate completely clean in a flashy ratings grab. Neither worked. Arguably, Mary's plan would have been better...and who knows, Darius' "Henderson" might still be on the air weekdays at 12:30pm. Unlikely...but we can imagine, eh?!

Anyway this is what I was typing when I was watching and while reading these post.
She is really a jealous type. Isnt Jon a person? Who says you have to be at a beach to be in swimsuits? ROFL at meetup!! 0_0 oh ma gawd hotel scene!! If he is a representation of boys... I didnt know I was this desperate and horny.. :P :O a towel!! CRAP! I should have peeked!! damn you just say you love her!! I don't think we expected HER to confess. that was awesome. I "think" I like how they aged they charechters. But ummm yeah. Epilouge? weak. Great arc though.8.4/10. But I "think" I would only buy this as part of a boxset. Sex-Hair time =D. I think we saw some foresight into Ai's (?) arc with her brother and such. I can't wait for Kaoru. It looks like just from the preview that its gonna be fine! Was she lying about the hotel reservations? DONT RUB YOUR ARM UP AGAINST MINE!!
Also her being english kinda explains all the Wow and Get and Go stuff. I always thought it was a tad bit wierd.
Yes. That whole post was crudely constructed and very bad. I did make it in a Windows 7 Sticky Note so sorry. Now, I have to go stream some Video Games bbl.

Watched ep 4, I love this show.
It's managed do things in 4 episodes, that I want some shows to do in 12-24 but never get.
Who cares if it's sweet and fluffy? I like cotton candy
Edit: And to correct myself from when this show started. I had said I was tired of girls like Haruka. I lied. I freaking love her now.

Bakacast didn't seem to like this anime. (www.projectharuhi.net)
The reason they gave was basically that Amagami is a decent enough show, it's watchable, but it just wasn't his thing.

They're really an odd couple, I mean they're lovey-dovey relationship can be to moderate to extreme. I thought they were doing a roleplay at the end (which somehow they are) which is really funny and yes that was an extremely fast forward 10 years later. Let's see, there were a lot good Haruka moments like the swimming pool scenes and the hotel.

My first point was that the direction of Kimikiss Pure Rouge wasn't popular with the fans of the game, which is why we now have this omnibus format.
But if it were to happen, such a question would have been a point of contention among fans. The opinions of the fans are quite varied enough, which was the focus of my reply.
I wouldn't say that I'm ignoring Tsukasa; rather, I'm neutral towards her as of now since her arc isn't even on yet.
I do admit that the poll has given some expectations though. Hmmm. Ai, being a popular character? I wonder why..? Why is (insert character here) viewed this way, etc. So on and so forth. You get the point. But the anime is still what I'm experiencing here, and not the game.
Honestly, I cannot agree or disagree with you concerning your defense of your favourite character, nor do I have a strong opinion about her. It's still too early for me at this point.
And please, don't spoil things any further.

While it is apparently angst free (which I kinda wish this first arc had some), anyone get the feeling that Haruka in this arc is in fact very, very lonely? Kind of the loneliness only a celebrity can get? Because the way she throws herself at her new man, she seems awfully desperate..

Mao and eriko were not only fan favorites but producers favorites as well - not to mention the focus they or in doujins and mangas...
In amagami we have four very popular heroines - Haruka, Kaoru, Ai and Ayatsuji between fans but producers certainly seem to fancy Ayatsuji much more than the others.

The one who posed the question, answered Haruka because she appeals to him, and that's how I partly based my reply. I have not involved any producer at all.

Let's start with our credo: We believe that travelers are the best source of travel information.
That is why we have setup World66, an open content travel guide, where people from all over the planet can write about the places they love, the hotels they stayed in, the restaurants that have eaten.
Every part of the travel guide can be edited directly, just click the [edit] button and go ahead. You can change the info you find, do a write up, add a complete city or just a bar or a restaurant.
Does this work? We think it does. Thanks to this approach World66.com has become one of the most complete travel resources on the internet, with 149,869 articles on 79,285 destinations all over the world. Good info, more up to date than you find in travel books. Check for yourself. And should you find some wrong info, a hotel that has closed down, whatever, don't complain, but act. You can change it. It's up to you.
And together we can make world66.com the best travel guide on the planet.

Everton may have smashed their transfer record to sign striker Romelu Lukaku but manager Roberto Martinez insists the fee is irrelevant if the player fulfils his potential.
The Belgium international landed on Merseyside for a flying visit from his homeland on Wednesday to finalise a five-year contract after a £28million deal - believed to be a £25million fee with subsequent add-ons - was agreed with Chelsea.
Everton's previous record was the £15million paid to Standard Liege in 2006 for midfielder Marouane Fellaini, who moved on to Manchester United last summer for £28million.
Martinez stressed, however, the player will not carry that burden into the dressing room.
"Rom is vitally important but his transfer fee will not count for anything in terms of him developing and having an important role in the side," said the Spaniard.
"This dressing room has got a special feeling and it is not about how much you pay for players to come in, it is about selecting the players to be in there.
"We really needed Rom at the club and that is where the chairman (Bill Kenwright) and the board have been exceptional, and I do think it is a key moment at our club.
"I am looking at that number nine position - and I am probably biased - but he is potentially the best choice in world football.
"In years to come you will see him develop into someone special, but nothing changes for Rom.
"He needs to enjoy his football, have the same standards he had and I am excited to see how far Rom can take us and how far we can take Rom.
"That is the partnership we can see here.
"It is true this moment in Rom's career is very significant because he is very ambitious, he wants to be successful and win things and wants to develop to the top of his potential.
"That is what we want to be as a team, so it is a perfect fit."
Lukaku said he is comfortable with the transfer fee and intends to provide the goals, having scored 16 in 33 appearances on loan at Goodison Park last season, to help fire the club into the Champions League.
Asked how long it could be until the Toffees were playing alongside Europe's elite, the Belgian said: "If we continue to develop like we did last season very soon.
"I wanted to stay in the Premier League because it is the most attractive league in the world and also the best.
"For me it was easy to stay here and help the team reach that level.
"I think the club wants to make a statement and I want to help the club to make a statement in this league.
"I don't put myself under pressure and just want to help my team-mates make this team as good as possible."
Martinez is still keen to add more signings, having already secured another loan player Gareth Barry on a permanent deal and also brought in £4million midfielder Muhamed Besic.
However, he may now have to rely on loan signings - the Toffees have been linked with a temporary deal for Chelsea's Christian Atsu - having used most of his transfer budget to secure Lukaku.
"I said before we signed Rom we need three attacking players and that has not changed," said the Everton boss.
"I always said money shouldn't be the difference between being able to challenge or not.
"It excites me when I see the side we have. Maybe some have the excuse of having to have a certain amount of money to challenge for titles, but I don't look at it that way."

I was wondering how you guys handle a losing spree? i've been losing more than i win recently, and idk. I don't duo so i have no one to talk about how bad i or the team played. Should i just take a break? play some normals? it's getting really stupid with these ranked solo que teams -_-
Saintvicious is older than them i think, he needs to win these tournaments as a living. He wants to in a sense 'get his shit together'. He wants to confirm a win for season 2 since this might be his living. I support him in that and he has to make sure his team is serious about this too. You don't want to try and wing a 2million dollar(?) prize pool tournament.
He shouldn't have done it over stream or while he was drunk(yes he was), it should have been done more professionally but i see where hes coming from. I love curse, nyjacky/cop/ele/sv/westrice. But they really do need to get off their asses and play seriously.
ps it was an empty threat, he just wants him to get his shit together or at least i hope it was an empty threat.

Just did a Taric (aura) + Sion (AP) lane, that double stun really is a way to kill...Got Karma first, zoned out Akali (don't think I see her bot often) and after Sion got his sheen, it was just double kills and lots of farming, with the occasional jungle cop out.
I don't have Fizz, last time I played with him was good though. Lots of damage and he moves around quite a bit, flexible builds and knockup ulti ftw.

Hmm... all this time and never realized there was a LoL thread here. Idk how it's anime related. Then again first time I looked in the games section.
Fizz is a nightmare when I am jungling. He escapes all ganks with ease. Sometimes I don't even bother to gank him unless he is really overextended. You really need a champ with hard CC to get him.
Never see Akali bot but people these days are obsessed with the meta.

Lol Sion + Taric. Good times to be had when I did it s1 during the times AD carry went mid. Big reason why Taric is my best support, considering how many times I've played it.
And man, still tired from the 10 hour or so GG classic tourney yesterday. The grand finals alone went for all 8 games, as the finalists were darn near even, with CLG.Black pulling a consistent performance, while Team Dynamic makes a lot of impressive plays but equally as many stupid mistakes that cost them games.

Hardly comparable to Heimer imo. Much more difficult to play efficiently. To tap her full potential all of her spells (save for W ofc) optimally should hit both seeds/plants AND the opponent (in teamfights even several opponents). However, if everything hits as it should her aoe dps is incredible, maybe even a bit too high.

Zyra is quite fun. Her AOE burst is incredible. Wait for a team fight to happen, preferably at 2 of your seeds and unleash everything. However, she can't carry a team, so she needs some people with a clue around her. She'll get you an edge but you need people to capitalise on it promptly.

Zyra can pull off some crazy stuff.
In a 2v4 bot (me and Ez) vs Darius, Maokai, Vayne and Hecarim, they tower drive and go for Ez. I root and growth at the 2 seeds I had ready - their team is about half hp. Immediately drop ulti - 2 dead. Ignite and growth on 3rd seed at Hecarim, root Darius and auto attack him - all 4 dead while Ez had to flee and did hardly any damage.
She is fun for sure.
Major Edit: Just snapped me a new kill streak and deathless score personal record. The real irony of the match - I wanted to be Zyra, but someone called mid as I picked Zyra, so after seeing what others picked, I switched accordingly. And yeah, no surprises for guessing who I switched to.
Spoiler for Fortune Doesn't Favour Fools:
And new champ will be Diana, the Scorn of the Moon. I'm already intrigued!

Got Zyra today. It was kinda hard at first since her real dps comes from her seeds and they need a few levels on Zyra to pick up the damage, but around mid-game or so, she was really fun to play with. Definitely the easiest champion to hit 40% CDR with, since her W gives 20%(!), very good at laying jungle traps. 2x seeds in bottom tribrush, dragon fakeout, add another two and enjoy seeing your enemies shredded to pieces Her ultimate's second part (increasing vine AS) is also very helpful.
Of course, even at max CDR and LV5 rampart growth, seed cooldown's still at 7.9 seconds, so it's not something you can use frequently. Mana issues may or may not arise - despite her obvious skill spammage, I didn't find myself oom until a base invasion, but I suspect others may want to play more aggressively with her.
@ LS: nice, my highest kill spree is 16/0/12 with Nunu (Twisted Treeline) and 13/0/8 with Ahri on SR. Really though, gj not dying with MF, she's pretty fragile and a major fire focus.

Pipex retains personal data for escapees' own good
ISP expecting ex-customers to come back
Posted in Networks, 6th June 2007 11:18 GMT
Pipex says it retains departed customers' bank details in case they ever change their minds.
Yesterday, we reported on how a new customer account website had revealed that the ISP does not delete personal information when users cancel their contract.
According to Reg readers who are former Pipex customers, the data is still available well over a year after they quit the service.
In response to our questions on why it had not deleted information about ex-customers, Pipex sent us this statement:
We are not in a position to discuss individual cases due to data protection, but can assure all customers that data is held securely and not used for any purposes other than being available should they wish to return to us.
Pipex may not be the only ISP to operate such a "keep the home fires burning" data policy.
However, the Data Protection Act prohibits data retention for any longer than necessary as demanded by the reason it was originally recorded. Which makes Pipex's response seem rather flimsy, although the law is open to interpretation. Details of how to complain to the Information Commissioner, the government watchdog which regulates data retention, are here.
The struggling ISP, which is undergoing a wide-ranging strategy review by external consultants, and has been the subject of repeated sell-off rumours this year, currently has about 570,000 broadband subscribers. ®

As deputy executive director, Stephens was responsible for the day-to-day management of SFRTA, with responsibilities for operations, human resources, administration, procurement, marketing, customer service, finance and information technology, engineering and construction and planning and capital development. He was also responsible for negotiating with outside agencies' developers and contractors at the direction of the governing board or executive director.
"As sad as we are to see Joe Giulietti leave for the presidency of Metro-North, we are fortunate to have a seasoned professional with more than 20 years of experience in the transportation industry step in. With 10 of those years spent at the SFRTA, Jack already understands all facets of the authority," said Governing Board Chair and Commissioner Steven Abrams. "I expect the transition under Jack Stephens will be a seamless one."
Prior to joining SFRTA, Stephens spent a dozen years associated with the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority in a succession of increasingly responsible managerial positions. Among the titles he held were deputy general manager for administration, interim general manager/chief executive officer, executive vice president, customer development division, assistant to the general manager, office of federal and state relations and legislative coordinator.

Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis has been voted the Budweiser Presents American League Player of the Month for June. Budweiser, the official beer sponsor of Major League Baseball and sponsor of 23 of 30 clubs, is also the presenting sponsor of the National League Player of the Month Award.
Kipnis, who claimed two A.L. Player of the Week awards during the month, batted .419 (39-for-93) with 12 doubles, one triple, four home runs, 25 RBI, 17 runs scored and 30 walks in 27 games to earn his first career monthly honor. He is the first member of the Tribe to claim the league's Player of the Month Award since Shin-Soo Choo was tabbed in September 2008. Among A.L. leaders with a minimum of 81 plate appearances during the month, the 26- year-old finished first in batting average and on-base percentage (.517); tied for first in hits; ranked second in doubles, RBI, slugging percentage (.699) and extra-base hits (17); tied for second in walks; and was tied for 11th in runs scored. Among Major League leaders, his on-base percentage ranked first; his batting average was second; and his slugging percentage was third overall. In addition, the Illinois native reached base safely in each of his 27 games played in June as he continues an on-base string of 33 straight contests dating back to May 26th. It is the longest such streak for the Indians since Victor Martinez reached base safely in 45 consecutive games split over the 2005-06 seasons.
Among his highlights, the Arizona State University product went 3-for-5 with a double and a home run as Cleveland topped the Texas Rangers, 5-2, on June 12th in Arlington. Back in Cleveland against the Washington Nationals on June 14th, Kipnis used his bat to provide the home fans with some late-inning excitement as he ripped a sharp, one-out grounder to the first-base side of the infield to score Drew Stubbs from third as the Tribe walked off 2-1 winners at Progressive Field. Kipnis and the Indians took two-of-three from the reigning N.L. East Champions as Cleveland's second-round pick in the 2009 Draft went 5-for-9 with three RBI in the series. On June 22nd against the Minnesota Twins, the lefthanded-hitting Kipnis finished a home run shy of batting for the cycle to lead the Indians to an 8-7 victory in Cleveland. Jason roped a two-RBI double in the first inning as part of a six-run frame in the triumph. In the first game of a doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox on June 28th, the three-year veteran went 3-for-4 with three doubles, three walks, two RBI and four runs scored to drive Cleveland to a 19-10 win at U.S. Cellular Field. He added a walk, an RBI-single and a sacrifice fly in a 9-8 Indians win in the nightcap to finish the day a combined 4-for-7 with three doubles, four walks, four RBI and five runs scored.
Others receiving votes included Chris Davis (.290, 12 HR, 30 RBI) of the Baltimore Orioles; Miguel Cabrera (.378, 9 HR, 21 RBI) of the
Detroit Tigers; Mike Trout (.358, 11 2B, 15 RBI) and Howie Kendrick (.356, .414 OBP) of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim; and Edwin Encarnacion (.277, 8 HR, 20 RBI) of the Toronto Blue Jays.

Sometimes subtle mannerisms can really show through and make people seem related. So a slight visual resemblance, combined with certain interactions and similar mannerisms can lead to the question.
I went to a flea market with a friend 20 years younger than I am and we were really having a great time. One of the vendors asked if we were related, we looked at each other in shock, and I said to my friend, "Oh my golly! I AM old enough to be your mother!" I don't think either one of us truly realized it before, even though we had discussed cultural differences in our age groups. I am also just a tad older than her eldest sibling.At least the vendor didn't ask me if I was Mom. Whew! Vendor dodged an etiquette bullet on that one, didn't she?

Change At The Top
In the world we live in it's often hard to find good things and good news but let's close out the month of January with a couple of positive items.
The Lakewood BlueClaws did not have to look hard to find a replacement for the only general manager in the history of the minor league baseball team. Just a week after it was announced that Geoff Brown was leaving to take an athletic administration position at Rutgers University, the BlueClaws named Brandon Morano as his replacement.
Morano has been with the BlueClaws since before they played their first game and had served as Brown's assistant since 2006. A shore-area native and Rutgers graduate who lives in Brick with his wife Amber and son Brandon Jr., Morano assumes the GM responsibilities immediately and is fortunate in having a front office staff that has for the most part been together for years.
Sunday's Super Bowl will feature a halftime show by Beyonce and the national anthem sung by Alicia Keyes but don't be surprised if the singing group that receives the largest ovation is made up of 26 children. The chorus from Sandy Hook Elementary School will sing "America the Beautiful" as part of the pre-game show which will be broadcast live by CBS.
The school in Newton, Connecticut was where 20 children and six adults were killed in a shooting rampage in mid-December. Reports indicate that an anonymous donor will help make the trip to New Orleans possible for the students and family members.
Two Ocean County basketball standouts became members of their schools 1,000 point clubs this week. Lakewood's Tyrice Beverette needed 24 points and scored 24 in the Piners win over Central Tuesday night to reach the milestone and on the same evening Central's Rachel Iozzia became just the fifth female in school history to surpass 1,000 in the Golden Eagles victory over Lakewood.
Among those on hand to congratulate her was Berkeley Township Police Chief Karin DiMichele, who was Karin Kane when she scored over 1,000 points before graduating from Central in 1989.
The Shore Conference Wrestling Tournament resumes tonight at the top four seeds: Toms River South, Brick Memorial, Jackson Memorial and Howell. Most expect those four to advance to the semis and finals Saturday at the Pine Belt Arena.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- A former City of Rockford employee has been indicted for allegedly defrauding contractors out of tens of thousands of dollars. 57-year-old Mark Bixby worked as the City's Energy Director and was in charge of the Weatherization Program.
The Feds say that between December of 2006 and March of 2010, Bixby underpaid two contractors by about $50,000 and used that money to buy himself a convertible and to pay off bills. They also say that Bixby accepted bribes from the two contractors and extorted the heating contractor out of close to $3,000.
Bixby was charged with two counts of mail fraud, two counts of bribery, two counts of extortion, and one count of making false statements to the FBI.
Each count of mail fraud, bribery, and extortion carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and the false statement count carries a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison.
Bixby is scheduled to be arraigned on Monday, January 28th in Rockford.
The City of Rockford has released the following statement concerning Bixby's charges:
"The City of Rockford applauds the efforts of Federal Law Enforcement in this investigation. In 2010, following receipt of information from a local private attorney, the City of Rockford launched an investigation into the City's energy grant assistance program. Following a preliminary investigation by the Rockford Police Department the matter was referred to Federal Law Enforcement agencies. That investigation led directly to the indictments announced today.
During the early stages of the investigation, Mr. Bixby was placed on administrative leave. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Bixby was notified of the City's determination to terminate his employment, at which time Mr. Bixby submitted his resignation."

Very nice photograph, the lettering shows up nicely. Usually these ledger style stones are too weathered to read. I'm related to Samuel Wade's wife, Lydia Newhall, through her maternal Greene lineage.

Thanks Heather. And, of course, Lydia Newhall is my 6th great-grandmother. Is that the same as you, was she a direct?
- September 21, 2010 at 10:48 AM
- Heather Rojo said...
No, she's not a direct ancestor. My closest ancestor to Lydia Newhall is Thomas Greene and Elizabeth Lynde. There are lots of Newhalls in my notes because I have a lot of Lynn ancestors, but they are all just marriages and cousins.

Hi Barbara,
Nathaniel and Mercy (Bradstreet) Wade are my 8th great-grandparents.
Thanks for the photos - I haven't been to Medford yet! It's almost time for another trip to New England, I think!

I kept pushing it as a joke and he jokingly asked whether I was becoming a "high maintenance girlfriend".
StarFaerie, I'd highly recommend "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman. In it he explains that people have different ways of expressing love and 'understanding' love. Some people show love by saying "I love you" a lot, others by doing favours, others again by physical touch and others - like you, it sounds - by giving gifts.If you like showing him you love him by giving him gifts, by all means continue! As long as he reciprocates in another love language, I wouldn't worry about it
So, your BF would learn to give you gifts for significant (and sometimes insignificant) occasions. You would find some other way of expressing love to him, since he's made it clear that "gifts" isn't his love language.
So actual etiquette questions:Is the 6 month anniversary a gift giving occasion?Is it SS to want gifts in a rel@tionship?
Now we are coming up to 6 months and I would kind of like him to show in some way that I mean something to him. Last night I reminded him that next week is our 6 month anniversary and jokingly asked what he was getting me. He stated "nothing" as he does not do that stuff. I kept pushing it as a joke and he jokingly asked whether I was becoming a "high maintenance girlfriend". I don't think it is High maintenance to want the occasional gift but don't expect or want a gift next week.
