BLM Colorado Northwest District hosts Sage-Grouse EIS public meetings (10-22-13)
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — The Bureau of Land Management will host public meetings to discuss the Northwest Colorado Sage Grouse EIS. Some of the previously scheduled meetings were impacted by the government shutdown.
Public meetings will be held from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. in October at the following locations:
• Oct. 22 in Walden, at the Wattenburg Community Center, 682 County Road 42

Skip to comments.Train Operator Behind O'Hare Crash Identified
Posted on 03/29/2014 4:12:56 AM PDT by fulltltEdited on 03/29/2014 4:23:03 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
The woman at the controls of a Chicago Transit Authority train that crashed at O'Hare Airport had worked 69 hours in the seven days before the accident.
Brittney T. Haywood, 25, from Chicago, said she dozed off at the controls Monday when the train crashed into the terminal and rode up the escalator.
(Excerpt) Read more at nbcchicago.com ...
69 hours? in one week. Im having problems with this excuse
Yet another union worker racking up the overtime. She is in the protected class and will likely receive an award rather than criminal charges and fines.
It's a gimmick that I saw frequently with Metro out of DC.
The Union controls job hires and makes it all difficult. So, few hires are made, and overtime is viewed as absolutely mandatory and a wonderful deal after forty-hours a week. Needless to say, the accident rate with overtime drivers....is a major issue, which the management refuses to deal with.
A hint....go and ask this Chicago gal her schedule over the past six months, and note overtime usage, and the amount of pay she was taking in. Don't be shocked when you note that she regularly did fifty or more hours a week. And don't be shocked when they fire her, then a year later...reinstate her because of union pressure (that was another DC Metro regular event).
69 hrs is either fraud or sheer irresponsibility in a transportation worker who controls a vehicle that carries passengers
1. 69 hrs? Too much, obviously. Now, why?
2. That's a woman?
Since "She suffered injuries to her legs, back and neck during the incident", I'll go waaaaaay out on a limb and predict that the Chicago taxpayers are now on the hook for 60 years of disability payments.
"69 hours? in one week. Im having problems with this excuse."
My work week is 84 hours. With drive time, it's 96,but I get 7 days off.
Why? Consider this
Assuming a $25/ hour rate
40 hr ar $25/hr =$1000/wk
29 Hr overtime at 1.5 x$25 = $1089/wk
Adding the two gives $8767/wk or $105,210 per year for a person with less than a years job experience in a given field ( she just started the job a few months ago) and obviously poor job skills based on write ups of previously falling asleep at the wheel and missing a gate.
The motto in Chicago is that we don't want nobody that nobody didn't send
Wonder who's child or friend she is and who sent her for the job?
Taxpayer are getting raked over the coals by a feather bedding union and it's cronies in city government .
The CTA says she worked 55 hours in the 7 days prior to the crash and that she had been off for 18 hours before starting her shift that day.
The union guy is lying, according to the CTA.
oops that should be $8767/month not $8767/wk.
My bd
I suspect a 25 yo woman was doing far more in those 14+ hours/day than sleeping, perhaps partying all night long with all that extra overtime money.
Many people routinely work more than 10 hours a day, yet do not fall asleep at work. Truckers & pilots come to mind.
I want to know what she did the night before the crash. I want to know how late she was tweeting & twerking, & how much sleep she had the night before.
Public transportation operators should be held to a higher standard. They are responsible for the lives of many people. Supervisors should be held responsible for the fitness of their operators to do the job safely EVERY DAY.
I worked with a lesbian that had the same close crop hairstyle, just saying. The gal I worked with looked and dressed like a "clean cut" teen aged boy.
Well that explains it.
A boy named Brittney
Next the union will demand each train have two operators (i.e. pilot and copilot) in the event the one actually in control dozes off.
Problem solved and union membership doubled.
If Michelle Obama had a son...
Transit drivers have the best union, obviously. They can get away with anything.
That's a MAN, baby!!
ALL of those misdemeanors and she's/he's only 25????? And they STILL had her in a position like this??? Unions are the DUMBEST things ever invented!
Yup...Political patronage job...
Dollars to donuts she wasn't drug tested after the accident...
25 years old? Wanna bet she was texting at the time?
Yep! Just as I figured.
"That's a man, baby."
"Driving the train....high on cocaine...."
Having said that, I do find it hard to believe that any transit authority would allow this kind of nonsense.
precisely. That was my first thought too
Need to watch your units...I think you must mean $8767 per MONTH not per WEEK
Sorry for my quick post back at ya....Just found your self correction
"A boy named Brittney"
The politically correct statement is: "A transgendered Person of Color."
Take public transportation and be safe. OK.
Tyesheka????? Isn't that alone enough not to hire someone?
Public Unions should be banned. This person was arrested 4 times (and released) according to the report.
Back in the day they used to give them alarm clocks.
A Boy Named Sue.
"This girl is torn to pieces over this. . . I walked away, actually, with a new, totally different amount of respect for this woman. She couldn't lie if she wanted to," said Robert Kelly, president, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 308.
Ya twerk your right foot in
Ya tweet your right foot out
Ya twerk your right foot in
And you twick it all about
You do the tweety twerky

That's what it's all about.

A bit faster, he/she would have made it all the way up the escalator.
Less than 10 hrs. a day? Come, now, my friend.
GD women drivers!

Tell us how the patient is doing, Dr Wanye
March 31 2008 09:23AM
(Dr Wanye exits the hospital room and closes the door behind him. He faces the assembled crowd of concerned Oilers fans, who look to him with fear and apprehension.)
Ladies and gentlemen, the medical staff at the OilersNation Hospital are pleased to report that our patient is stable for the time being, and is expected to live through the night. With no games being played tonight that will affect the Oilers' playoff race one way or another, things can't get any worse for the time being.
We didn't expect the patient to live this long, to be honest. There was a lot of damage, as you well know, to the heart (trading Ryan Smyth). The shoulders have both gone (Souray and Horcoff) the ACL of the patient's knee has been severely damaged and required surgery (Torres). A leg is also broken (Moreau)—yes, the very same leg that gave us all the trouble earlier. As some of you may also know, we have found a problem with the ankle (Garon) that would ordinarily cause our patient a great deal of concern, were it not for all the other problems that have already piled up.
The biggest thing we have working against us for the moment is time. Because despite all of these injuries, the patient has shown that he's a fighter and has been much stronger of late. The youth transplant he was given (Gagner, Cogliano, Smid, Brodziak, Gilbert and Nilsson) seems to be responding better than we could have anticipated, which gives us great hope. The temper (Staios, Stortini) seems be holding up well, and the best thing we have going for us at this time is the will to fight on to live another day.
Our medical team has had a lot of discussion about the brain of the patient (MacT and Lowe). Though it seemed earlier that there had been complete synaptic failure and the patient was completely brain dead, this seems to have—remarkably—reversed itself for the time being. Sometimes these types of patients can suffer a relapse though, so it's important not to get our hopes up that the patient will be back playing chess any time soon.
All we can do now is hope, lambs. We have the patient doped up good on Rexall Drugs, and he isn't feeling much pain. He is resting for today, and tomorrow will be of utmost importance.
Tomorrow we will need to see the following, if the patient is to survive the next 24 hours:
Calgary vs Edmonton – Edmonton win Colorado vs Vancouver – Colorado win Nashville vs St Louis – St Louis win
Let us pray.
March 31 2008, 10:15AM
As far as comments go, jd, I think yours is one of the most insightful - certainly the most expressive - we've seen this season.
"doped up good on Rexall Drugs"
Doped up good is right! Rexall for all!
too funny
March 31 2008, 11:29AM
Don't kid yourselves, folks. Wanye's only got one PhD, and it's in Douchebaggery.
Excellent report, Dr. wanye.
Perhaps you could broaden your report next time to include how the patient's remarkable recovery from prongeritis and smythillia has provided new hope to the faithful on rejecting dirtbagginess and greediness with youthful bravado and speed, baby, speed.
Well done. Go Blues and blueshirted Oil.
I've recently heard on one of the between period interviews about what Pronger was like in the dressing room and we are probably better off without His Sphincter-ness. One of the talking heads said that former teamates respected his talent but that was about all. Staios by comparison may be half the talent but ten times the leader and example for everyone rookies and veterans alike. Regarding Smyth they were talking about his trouble making the adjustment and overall results this year in Colorado. I quite frankly don't care what size his contract was with Colorado or how the CBA allowed it to happen, he still sold himself for 30 pieces of silver.
Man I would like that extra point from Colorado right now...
Stupid Calgary.

Julien Boucher's world championship blog
Day 5 – September 17 – Litomysl-Bled
We have just arrived in Bled, Slovenia. The trip went well but was very long. If you combine the bus rides, two one-hour flights and the waiting time in Prague and Munich, it took us 15 hours to get here. It took us just as long to travel 6,500 kilometres from Ottawa to Litomysl on the day we left for overseas. Long live international travel!
Bled will be familiar territory for many of us over the next five days. Glenn Hoag coached the ACH pro team here for two seasons; Nic Cundy was a member of the Bled team for two years while Dan Lewis will return for a second season this winter. Assistant coach Vincent Pichette and I visited Glenn here last winter. Dustin Schneider trained here in March-April 2009 and Toon Van Lankvelt and Adam Kaminski played for teams in the same league as Bled last season. Adam Simac has joined the squad for the 2010-2011 season.
Glenn has managed all the arrangements and we just received our schedule from Petra the Bled club manager.
Tomorrow we train at 2 p.m. and play a match against Bled in the evening. Glenn's former players are obviously looking forward to challenging us and apparently the match is nearly sold out.
The ACH web site will broadcast our match at: http://www.ach-volley.si/index.php?page=novice&id=1139
The team's health is also improving. I was even criticized for saying Justin Duff was sick which wasn't the case. The first beer is on me Justin!
Until tomorrow.
Julien Boucher Canadian team manager.

The state of Indiana has instituted a process to verify the dependents enrolled on the state's health, dental and vision plan(s). Therefore, employees are randomly selected to participate in a dependent audit. The audit helps ensure that dependents enrolled are eligible and helps keep costs down.
Once documents are requested, submissions may be sent to:
Indiana State Personnel
Attn: Dependent Audit
402 W Washington St. RM W-161
Indianapolis, IN 46204
Fax: 317-232-3011
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Any questions concerning the dependent audit should be directed to the SPD Benefits Hotline at 317-232-1167 or toll-free at 877-248-0007.
|Eligibility Definition
|Documentation Required
|An individual to whom you are legally married. IC 31-11-8-5 provides: a marriage is void if the marriage is a common law marriage that was entered into after Jan. 1, 1958. Employees are not allowed to claim dependents based on common law marriages. An ex-spouse is not eligible for coverage even if court ordered.
|Natural, step, foster, legally adopted children or children for whom the employee or spouse has been appointed legal guardian or awarded legal custody by a court, until the end of the month in which they turn 26. .
|For Natural Child(ren)
Foster Child(ren)
|Disabled Dependent
|A dependent, as defined above, who, prior to age 19, was incapable of self-sustaining employment by reason of mental or physical disability and is chiefly dependent upon the employee for support and maintenance may continue coverage beyond the end of the month in which they turn 26. A dependent child of the employee who attained age 19 while covered under another Health Care policy and met the disability criteria specified above, is an eligible dependent for enrollment so long as no break in coverage, longer than sixty-three (63) days, has occurred immediately prior to enrollment.
Please note that this audit is only verifying the child's eligibility as a "dependent." Whether a dependent is "disabled" is outside the scope of this audit.
Q: Why are you asking me to verify my dependents?
A: We must guarantee consistent application of eligibility requirements within our health plans. Additionally, ineligible dependents that are using our health plans create higher costs for those who are eligible.
Q: Who is being audited?
A: Any employee who has active family health coverage will be subject to being randomly selected to comply with the Dependent Eligibility Verification Audit.
Q: Which dependent types must be verified?
A: All eligible dependent types (spouse, child, disabled child and ward) must be verified to maintain coverage for these eligible dependents.
Q: If I have misplaced my marriage certificate, birth certificate(s) or other documents needed for this audit, where can I get a new copy?
A: To obtain a copy of a marriage certificate you may contact the local courthouse in which the event took place to request a copy. Information on how to order a birth certificate can be found through the Department of Health at: http://www.in.gov/isdh/20444.htm
Q: What happens if I fail to respond to the Dependent Eligibility Verification Audit?
A: If you do not provide the required documentation to verify your dependent(s) eligibility, you will be subject to discipline up to and including dismissal.

I seldom extol the virtues of plastics, but there are always exceptions. I am a long time user of various types of green plastic 'stay-fresh-longer' produce bags to store my vegetables in the fridge.
The special thing about these bags is that they contain zeolite which absorbs ethylene gas…which is supposed to make your veg last longer. Looking on line, there is a wide range of opinion about whether this is true or not. Some people swear by them, others are less impressed.
Me: I am equivocal. I have used them so long that I no longer know what the counterfactual is.
So why do I like them if I am not convinced by the freshness claims?
First, I do worry (a lot) about food wastage. In western societies we waste a huge amount of food which is a big greenhouse gas problem. If you think of everything in your fridge as embodied carbon (for transport, processing, production) you may feel less inclined to waste it. Then think about the methane (a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon) that is released when wasted food ends up in landfill and your concern should grow.
So, bottom line: I hate to waste food and am attracted to anything that may limit food wastage.
Second, these bags are green. Green in colour. Colour coordination in my kitchen is important, of course, but the primary benefit is that I know these are reserved for veggies and veggies alone. So I reuse them with confidence.
Third, these are tough bags. They wash and dry very well. The Debbie Meyer site suggests that the bags are reusable 8-10 times. I suspect each of mine has been used hundreds of times. I like that longevity.
Fourth, knowing I have a bunch of these back home removes any temptation to help myself to a flimsy plastic bag off the roll in the grocery store. I always mean to have my reusable produce bags with me, but I do sometimes forget.
Fifth, the extra large bags are long enough for celery, and that's nothing to be sneezed at!
I really believe that these bags have reduced my plastic use (and hopefully my food wastage) considerably over the years. Even though I swore, as a kid, that I would never, ever wash plastic bags (my most hated job was hanging wet bags on the clothes line), I do now. All the time. And I feel good about it.
My first bags were bought over a decade ago in the UK at Lakeland. Lakeland bags are a proprietary product made in Thailand. In north America there are a few choices: Debbie Meyer, Peak fresh, Evertfresh and I am sure some others. I can't tell you which works best, but I can tell you that they are worth a try. I'd be interested to know if you agree.

I love the binders, which I can use for personal gifts, business gifts and also even for my son for school. The binders and the index labels are sturdy and the people that have received them so far love the idea. I hate to tell them where it came from and how easy they are to get, because I want to keep the secret to myself. But of course I do share with all. I want to order one for my niece who is getting married in July I think she will be very impressed. Thanks again Avery and keep up the great work in helping us get a little more organized and having fun while we are doing it.

As a mother of three, Deborah Freeman understands what it is like when children are constantly growing out of clothes and losing interest in toys.
Because of that, Freeman is one of 10 event coordinators in Colorado for Just Between Friends, a national mom-to-mom consignment movement that takes over the Douglas County Fairgrounds for two weekends a year.
The most recent event was Freeman's most successful yet, as 500 first-time shoppers and volunteers participated in the exclusive presale on Sept. 25. By the end of the first day, sales had more than doubled from the previous year. Freeman said she expected about 5,000 moms to visit the sale over the four days from Sept. 26-29.
"Being a mom is my full-time job, and during naps and at nights I run this full-time business. It supports me and my family," said Freeman, who puts on a fall and winter/back-to-school sale each September and a spring/summer sale in the spring.
"It's a community garage sale with a twist. We inspect everything before we put it out on the sales floor and we also check everything against the government recall list so our shoppers can shop with confidence, knowing that they are getting good quality items that are safe for their kids."
Shoppers receive 60 percent of their self-determined sales price on consigned items — 70 percent if they volunteer — and the event is filled with gently used brand-name items from places like Gymboree, Gap, Old Navy and Ralph Lauren.
"We get a lot of new stuff too," Freeman said. "People get so many gifts at baby showers that kids just can't wear it all, so they turn around and sell it and make some money. You may have six of the same exact baby swing priced between $50 and $100, but the retail value is $160, so everyone is getting a deal."
The variety offered last week included everything from maternity needs to infant and teenage clothing to Halloween costumes for all ages, outerwear and backpacks. Most of the items ranged between 50 and 90 percent off retail. Items that were not sold were either picked up by the mothers that put them up for sale or donated to local charities, including the Douglas/Elbert Task Force and Mission Ministries.
Visitors also had a chance to visit vendor booths such as the one run by Sharon Arnoldi, who specializes in family portraits and newborn photography.
"Last year was my first sale," Arnoldi said. "My friends told me this was where to come. I took a chance with my business just to see, and I picked up some clients and some really great deals for my daughter as well."

I think he needs to die too, I mean if a sage mode Jiraiya couldn't beat him then what makes you think Kakashi will? Sure he'd have back up but in a one on one fight he would get pants'd bad
A pie in the sky?
I think that Kakashi is hiding something too , very fast doton elemnt and two raikri on the very first movemnts , he said that he has bad stamina so why he is using such powerful jutsu first ? I think that Kakashi has some good technics and some mode like jirayia or orochimaru. Maybe Kakashi the Dog
kakashi prob gonna for an instant MS win, but pein will neutralize with a godly space time warp of his own
Kakashi wont die. he will be the next hokage. He has to be there nobody left to be it im not saying that Tsunde will die but do think she will and theyre not just going to give the title Hokage to some side character and Naruto isnt even close to being Hokage i say he wont be for another 10-15 years. Kakashi is only taking on one Pain and we all know that one pein can only do one thing either Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and etc so its not like this pein is going have every trick in the ninja book
for instance asuma couldnt beat hidan not because he was not stronger it was because he did not know the situation before he fought. neither did jiraiya, but kikashi now knows pein isnt realy there and that the bodys are basicaly immortal to regular attacks i am sure he will figure something out.
Thats a good point. Kakashi isn't going to die just because hes fighting Pain. Its only 1 body. This gives him opportunities to land hits unlike how Jiraiya wasn't able to because of him having multiple fields of vision. He is facing the god realm though, so he is bound to have some unnatural powers that will stop Kakashi from defeating him.

The Emery County Sheriff's Office deputies and staff members have been in training this past week for the new computers which are being placed in each patrol vehicle. Fatpot Technologies is the company where the computer software was designed specifically for law enforcement purposes. Chris Parkins , along with Aaron Beasley, from Fatpot Technologies were involved in training the Emery County deputies.
Emery County Sheriff Greg Funk is excited about the capabilities these machines have and what it will mean for the safety of the officers. "It will help them save time. Each deputy will be able to complete their reports from their patrol vehicles. There will be electronic transfer of tickets and information to the county attorney's office and for accidents the reports will be shipped directly to the state data base. With the saved time, the officers can spend more time out patrolling."
The training is set-up in modules and after the deputies become accustomed to the computers and the technology they will be introduced to other aspects of the technology. To start out the officers were versed in the programs to generate their incident reports. The deputy begins each shift by logging onto the computer and they start their daily log. Each step along the way is recorded so there is a record of where the officer is and what he is doing at all times. Sheriff Funk said this is a great tool for officer safety. "One of the programs shows a map where all of the deputies cars are pinpointed and we know their exact location at all times. It also shows the Utah Highway Patrol vehicles too. This enables an officer to know where his closest help is and who he can call upon if he needs extra help with a traffic stop or traffic accident or any incident which requires more than one officer. This really gives us peace of mind to know our deputy's locations. Another aspect of the technology is messaging. The computer will read all of the messages to the officer. This is real time communication. If there is a large incident going on and updates are needed frequently, the officer can be kept updated instantaneously.
"The officer will be able to feed in license plate numbers at a traffic stop and receive back the registration information on the stopped vehicle. This will enable him to quickly know who he is dealing with. He will be able to run a driver's license and have all the information come back on the computer screen. If a citation is issued, then the program can automatically fill out the ticket from the information on the driver's license screen and the officer won't have to type in that information and possibly make a mistake," said Sheriff Funk.
The computer can pull up all types of data and information for the officer. You can run property to find out who it belongs to if someone runs down a fence or if cows are out, you can more easily figure out who the property belongs to and if the cows belong to them.
Information is also pulled from the surrounding counties so the deputies are aware of what's going on in the immediate areas surrounding Emery County including Grand County, Sevier County, Carbon and Sanpete counties. Communication between counties has been speeded up with this program.
Another feature the deputies are excited about is the GPS mapping. Each incident they respond to is mapped with GPS coordinates so their exact location is known at all times. Traffic accidents are mapped and detailed information can be shared to get the ambulances to the correct location quickly.
Sheriff Funk said if someone puts a property watch on their house or property, then a fence can be drawn around that property on the map and you can document how many times that property is watched on the computer. This creates a record of the activity on that property.
The sheriff really likes the paperless aspect of the new reporting system for the deputies. They've been writing their reports for years and it will take them a little time to get used to the new method, but he thinks in the long run the officers will really like the change. The officers have a printer in their cars and if a ticket is issued, then a copy of the ticket will print out for the driver.
As incident reports are filed, if further action is required then the detectives are alerted and they will be assigned to a case. Reports can only be amended and adjusted by the original reporting author of the report. Witness statements are scanned in and attached to that case in the file on the computer.
Another aspect of the program is facilities monitoring for power plants, coal mines, schools and other facilities. There will be maps of the facilities including floor plans and information about the facility. There can also be prior information in place in the file for how a situation at any particular facility is to be handled, there can be haz-mat plans and other safety plans that can be brought up in a moment's notice to be used to handle any situation.
At the schools, pre-planned command centers will be displayed as well as staging points for any deputies responding. Floor plans could be printed to give to each of the responding officers so they could become familiar with a particular building.
Another benefit of the new program is the tracking of evidence. Each piece of evidence logged in will be marked with a bar code as it's checked in. It will be recorded and included in a data base. Any inquiries as to what happened to a piece of evidence will show up in the data base and someone can learn where their items are and if they are being held as evidence for the trial or other purposes or if the evidence or property can be released.
Another feature of the program important to a deputy is the data base which will pull up prior involvements in a traffic stop. If a deputy pulls someone over and they say, they never get pulled over, they never speed, then an officer can check just that fast and find out if they're telling the truth. All prior involvements with that driver will be recorded. All of this background information helps to keep the deputy safe, so they know what type of situation they are getting into by stopping that driver.
Sheriff Funk said the officers might be at a school zone, working on their reports, but their presence there in the community acts as a deterrent for speeders. The same is true if they are pulled off the highway between towns. Spotting a patrol vehicle slows drivers down. The deputies can multi-task and everything they need is there for them in their vehicles.
As the officers begin to use the system and their data enters the system, the use of heat mapping will become available. This mapping will show the hot spots for activity. It can show areas where burglaries are occurring, it can show problem areas for speeding, it can show crime zones, drug activity zones, domestic violence calls and other useful information will be calculated and shown on the heat map. Every incident will receive a latitude and longitude reading.
Sheriff Funk said most of the officers see learning these new programs as a challenge. They've already discovered ways to personalize the program for their own needs and what will work well for them. Some of them found the calendars and recorded their days on and off and what shifts they are on for the month. The possibilities are really endless with this state of the art technology. "They are excited to use the new technology, they see the benefits. Safety is our first concern, these officers put their lives on the line each day. We want to make sure they return home each night. These deputies belong to all of us," said Sheriff Funk.
Deputy Robby Riley is one of the deputies that's trained on the new system and he's been helping acquaint others to its use. Riley said he starts from home and logs in and says he's at work. This begins his daily log. Next he calibrates his radar system. Riley said one of the things he's learned is how to use the hot keys, where you push a specific key on the keyboard and it will take you directly to the traffic screen, mapping, gps coordinates, and other frequently used screens.
Riley said, "I really like it. It will take some adjusting, but with this new system, we will generate all the reports from our vehicles. We can write our reports, while the details are fresh in our minds. We won't have to visit the sheriff's office nearly as much. The officer presence in the communities will really increase. On night shift, we go around and check all the businesses. We check vehicle speeds, we have a north, south and a central car as well as a Green River car. Now the deputies can stay in their areas and write their reports, they won't have to leave their area and they will be available to answer any calls that come up. The officers will be able to take care of a lot more things that won't have to be run through dispatch. If we're not sure the location of a call, then the mapping will draw us a path from where we are to where we need to go to answer the call. We can also calculate the distance from a drug stop, to a school zone to see if we're in a drug free zone."
Riley showed how the dispatch screen works which has all the active calls the officers are out on at any given time as well as the calls from neighboring counties. "It's good to monitor the dispatch screen so we know what's going on around us. These computers will really help us stay connected. We can log in when we are at the sheriff's office too," said Riley.
Riley said he always wanted to be a police officer. When he started a family, he wanted a stable income so he became a police officer. "There's always going to be a need for it. It feels good to help people, it makes you feel like you've accomplished something. This new system is really going to save us time. One of the trainers said a routine traffic stop was 12-15 minutes and now it's down to 5-7 minutes."
With the installation of the new equipment in the patrol vehicles, Emery County's system will be compatible to systems in surrounding counties and will make communication between law enforcement agencies easier.
The cost for the system was $95,000 for the equipment and there will be a yearly $20,000 licensing fee.

New Zealand got their November campaign off to a fantastic start as they beat Scotland in a classy 51-22 victory at Murrayfield on Sunday.
New Zealand got their November Test series off to a great start as they beat Scotland in a 51-22 victory on Sunday.
In spells it was a performance that showed once again why the All Blacks are considered the finest exponents of attacking rugby in the game. It also backed up the importance of all players – from 1 to 15 – being comfortable in any position as forward duo Luke Romano and Wyatt Crockett proved.
New Zealand's ability to shift the point of attack with consummate ease was a constant issue for the Scots who, despite scoring the most points against the All Blacks since their defeat against Australia back in August 2011, came off second best to an effort that looks ominous to other rivals.
Tries were scored by Israel Dagg, Julian Savea (2), Cory Jane, Andrew Hore and Ben Smith but it was Dan Carter who claimed the man-of-the-match gong after directing the traffic in another showing that further rose his lofty standards.
Scotland will no doubt take some positives out of the fixture though, one being wing Tim Visser's brace that keeps his fine try-scoring rate at an impressive level. They will need him to carry that on to next week's clash with South Africa.
New Zealand started the game strongly until Scotland inside centre Matt Scott intercepted a Carter pass before handing over to speedster Visser, who was supporting well on his shoulder. The conversion from Greig Laidlaw made it 3-7 with 12 minutes on the clock.
Carter then made up for his embarrassing error as he slipped through the Scottish net to put full-back Israel Dagg in for a score. Carter's solid extras made it 10-7 at Murrayfield.
The kickers traded shots at goal soon after before the All Blacks found their rhythm as quick-fire tries from Savea, who went in at one corner and Jane's exceptional team effort – that saw the aforementioned prop Crockett and lock Romano involved – was a delight to watch.
Veteran hooker Hore then powered his way over from close range and almost in the blink of an eye, New Zealand led 34-10, with things looking bleak for the hosts. They did perk up before the break as after Scott was held up over the line, prop Geoff Cross burrowed over.
A moment that New Zealand flank Adam Thomson may live to regret then saw him shown yellow on 44 minutes for standing on the head of a Scottish player at a ruck and when Visser crossed for his second score, the hosts looked to be finding some confidence.
But the All Blacks showed why they are world champions in the closing stages as Carter set up two more scores, with Savea collecting a cross-field kick and then with five minutes to go the fly-half shrugged off a tackle, stepped and set up Ben Smith for a deserved score.
Man of the match: The phrase Perfect 10 seems to get thrown around a little too much in rugby, but with Dan Carter it consistently is attached. He created, broke the line, fended back-row forwards and kicked strongly all game. To be honest, no one else came close.
Moment of the match: Cory Jane's try was one to rewind over and over again. Piri Weepu started it before Wyatt Crockett was calm in possession and then Luke Romano's quick hands created the space outside. If there was an advert for All Black rugby, it would be on it.
Villain of the match: It was going to go to the Scottish fans who were booing while Dan Carter was lining up his kicks. However, Adam Thomson then went and did something he may regret as video footage showed him trampling on the head of a home player at a ruck.
The scorers:
For Scotland:
Tries: Visser 2, Cross
Con: Laidlaw 2
Pen: Laidlaw
For New Zealand:
Tries: Dagg, Savea 2, Jane, Hore, Smith
Con: Carter 6
Pen: Carter 3

The two main areas for rock climbing include Big Rocky Hollow and the Cedar Bluff areas. Cedar Bluff offers both traditional and sport climbing, including several short, but difficult, routes in the class 12 to 13 range that appeal to experienced climbers. Other routes include top-rope access and solid anchors that appeal to new climbers.
The Shawnee National Forest is famed for its awesome Garden of the Gods, and is home to the Rim Rock Recreational Trail (the forest has a system of 403 miles of equestrian/hiking trails). Hikers are greeted by magnificent jutting walls of rock covered with emerald-green moss, and paths that meander through canyons under the forest canopy. Nestled between the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, the stunning Shawnee National Forest landscape features rolling hills, lakes, creeks and rugged bluffs. If you're into climbing than a must-see is Jackson Falls, located near the town of Ozark in the Hidden Springs Ranger District in Shawnee National Forest. The climb takes place on 60 feet of sandstone cliffs and boulders that include numerous freestanding towers.
Located near the town of Ozark in the Shawnee National Forest, Jackson Falls offers arguably the best rock climbing in southern Illinois. There are roughly 60 climbing areas along the sandstone bluffs and freestanding boulders, each with multiple named routes on them. There are over 500 named routes in all. Most of the routes are 50-60 feet in height. The whole area sits in a very scenic glen. Most of the routes at Jackson Falls are sport routes, though there are a number of traditional routes, and a few areas suitable for setting up a top-rope. There are also many excellent bouldering opportunities here.

Spectacular woodlands and sheer sandstone walls create a challenge for rock climbing and rappelling, as well as hiking. Outdoor lovers will also find horseback riding, a lookout tower, cabins and a swimming pool. Dine at historic Giant City Lodge, known for its homemade fried chicken dinner. Two different locations in Giant City State Park near Carbondale give you climbing options. A trail behind the picnic shelter takes you to a set of steep bluffs known as Shelter #1 near the Makanda entrance; another climbing area of the park includes the steep sandstone cliffs in Devil's Standtable. Plan to bring all of your own equipment since no permanent anchors are allowed. Ropes are permitted in both areas. After rainstorms, the wet sandstone gets really slippery. Use caution when grabbing for ledges as copperhead snakes warm themselves on the rocks during sunny days.
Starved Rock State Park - Ice Climbing
While rock climbing is prohibited, there are up to five canyons in which ice climbing is permitted when conditions allow. All ice climbers must sign in at the ranger station (Park Office) and must have a partner. Call ahead to check ice and other park conditions.
Mississippi Palisades State Park
The Mississippi Palisades State Park, located near the confluence of the Mississippi and Apple rivers in northwestern Illinois is known for its steep cliffs and interesting rock formations, as well as its beautiful trails that lead you to some of those awe-inspiring giant boulders. One such trail is the Sentinel, clocking at over 1.3 miles it's the longest trail in the park and leads you smack dab into Sentinel Rock, where you can take a turn at trying to conquer this monolith.
The highest pint in Illinois is 1,257 feet located in the northwest corner of the state. That's where you'll find Mississippi Palisades State Park and the Sentinel and Sunset Trails. The park has 2,500 acres of wooded ravines and canyons. The Palisades are a line of vertical cliffs that rise up from the shore of Buffalo Lake. Hiking to the top provides tremendous views and an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. The two trails are strenuous due to the elevation change, but at approximately 3.7 miles, shouldn't take too long for you to experience the sense of adventure in nature or burning in your legs.
Starved Rock State Park Visitors Center
The Starved Rock State Park Visitors Center has several interactive displays, free videos on the park, hiking maps, and more. Trailheads Concessions & Gifts, also located here, is a great place to buy gifts, souvenirs, and snacks (fresh fudge, too)! The Visitor Center and Trailheads are open year-round.

"As I've progressed in my career, I've come to appreciate — and really value — the other attributes that define a company's success beyond the P&L: great leadership, long-term financial strength, ethical business practices, evolving business strategies, sound governance, powerful brands, values-based decision-making." - Ursula Burns, Chairman and CEO
Ursula joined Xerox as an intern in 1980 and during her career she has held leadership posts spanning corporate services, manufacturing and product development. She was named president in 2007, chief executive officer in 2009 and chairman in 2010.
Shortly after being named CEO in 2009, she spearheaded the largest acquisition in Xerox history, the $6.4 billion purchase of Affiliated Computer Services. Today, Xerox is the leader in diversified business process services with its Services business representing over 50 percent of the company's total revenue. Its Document Technology business remains the market share leader in the industry and continues to grow in key areas including graphic communications.
Ursula, who regularly appears on Fortune's and Forbes' list of the world's most powerful women, is a board director of the American Express Corporation, Exxon Mobil Corporation and the Ford Foundation. In 2009, U.S. President Barack Obama appointed Ursula to help lead the White House national program on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), and she was appointed chair of the President's Export Council in 2015 after service as vice chair since 2010.
She also provides leadership counsel to several other community, educational and non-profit organizations including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the U.S. Olympic Committee, the National Academy Foundation and FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), among others.
Ursula holds a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from Polytechnic Institute of New York University and a master of science degree in mechanical engineering from Columbia University.
