The economic downturn of the past several years has devastated local economies and their local law enforcement agencies. Sworn to protect and serve the public, law enforcement faces a bleak outlook. The nation's law enforcement agencies are confronting severe budget cuts and unmanageable layoffs, and they are fundamentally changing how they keep the public safe. COPS compiled data from a number of current surveys and data sets, which show the impact that the current economic climate has had on law enforcement agencies nationwide.**
Layoffs, furloughs, and unfilled jobs mean less public safety
Budget cuts have a heavy impact
The delivery of law enforcement services will fundamentally change as a result of today's economic climate
** Data are based on information and survey results from: the National Association of Counties; International Association of Chiefs of Police; Major Cities Chiefs Association; Police Executive Research Forum; The National League of Cities; the Fraternal Order of Police; Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics and application data from the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services.

As part of the payroll tax bill on Friday, Congress voted to tweak federal worker benefits. New federal hires will be required to make an additional contribution to their pension plans. While just a small change, federal worker unions railed against the bill as if were armageddon.
Downsizing Blog
Fixing the House Transportation Bill
After catching flack from both fiscal conservatives and the transit lobby, House Speaker John Boehner has postponed consideration of a transportation bill. Fiscal conservatives (including my fellow Cato scholar Michael Tanner) objected to the bill's deficit spending; transit interests (including Republicans from New York and Chicago), objected to the bill's lack of dedicated funds to public transit.
Obama's Proposed Cuts and the Scope of Government
The president's fiscal 2013 budget includes a 213 page document that contains 210 proposed cuts, consolidations, and other savings. That sounds like a lot until one finds out that the alleged savings would only amount to $24 billion in a $3.8 trillion budget. Not only would the cuts do little to reduce the size of government, they would do nothing to reign in the scope of government.
Reporters Should Think Big on Budget Reforms
The Washington Post did a great job last week comparing spending earmarks by members of Congress with the locations of property they own in their states. Some members are apparently using our tax dollars to expand infrastructure near their homes and businesses, thus gaining a personal benefit from federal spending.
Obama's Budget: This Isn't Built to Last
In his recent State of the Union address, President Obama said that he wanted an American economy that is "built to last." Today's release of his fiscal 2013 budget proposal shows that the president still thinks he can build economic prosperity with more spending, taxes, and debt. Those are the building materials for an economic time-bomb that will explode on future generations.
President Obama's Spending
The new federal budget includes a range of accounting maneuvers to cast the administration's 10-year projections in the best possible light. Senate Republicans point out some of President Obama's funky accounting here. But note that the George W. Bush administration also used tricks to make deficit forecasts look more optimistic.
Obama's Budget, Taxes, and Doctors
President Obama is releasing his FY2013 budget today, and it's more of the same—trillion-dollar deficits, huge spending, and tax hikes on high-earners. The president wants to raise taxes substantially on households earning more than $250,000. It's all about fairness he claims, even though effective tax rates on high-earners are already double the rates on middle-earners.
CBO Spending Projections, 2011 and 2012
Each January the Congressional Budget Office provides updated projections of the federal budget for the coming decade. Let's compare the January 2011 projections to the January 2012 projections to see whether the switchover of the House to Republican control during 2011 has made a dent in spending.
Indian Gaming: The Lobbyists Always Win
One of the issues discussed in my new essay on the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is the lobbying by groups of American Indians seeking official tribal status. The BIA has the power to confer tribal status, and it does so in a non-transparent manner. With official status comes tribal access to a wide range of federal subsidy programs plus the ability to earn monopoly profits with a casino. The gaining of official status for tribes was one of Jack Abramoff's specialty services.
Another Log for the Government Spending Multiplier Fire
At the center of the debate over efforts by policymakers to "stimulate" the economy with government spending is the issue of fiscal multipliers. Some economists argue that government spending can be a free lunch: an additional dollar of government spending increases GDP by more than one dollar. Other economists say that government spending is not so free: an additional dollar of government spending increases GDP by less than one dollar or even reduces it.

Office of University Mission and Ministry
Welcome Message from the Vice President
Welcome to Saint Xavier and to the Office of University Mission and Ministry!
A university is a unique place where students learn and change at a rapidly accelerated pace. Traditional age students, with new found independence, begin to shape their own lives as never before and establish relationships that may last a lifetime. Older and returning students, newly committed to fulfilling a dream or reaching a goal, bring a seriousness and determination that's nothing short of remarkable. It's a privilege to be part of the tumultuous, ever-changing experience that is university life.
A Catholic university exists for one purpose: to help students become better human beings. Yes, they may know more, be fitter and have more friends when they finish college. But if they are not better people, we have failed. "Success with Purpose" means taking what you learn here and using it for your success and for the good of the world.
As a Catholic University, we profess faith in God and in Jesus Christ, his son. That's our foundation and the heart of the Mercy tradition that animates us. But that same tradition requires that we open wide our arms to all who seek God. So, no matter what your faith, you are welcome here because this is a place where faith is valued and nurtured. Some don't identify with a specific faith but see themselves as seekers; we welcome them as well, because our mission is to walk with anyone who seeks that which is greater than themselves.
The Office of University Mission and Ministry (OUMM) encompasses the Department of Campus Ministry, the Office for Mission and Heritage, the Center for Religion and Public Discourse, MercyCare, collaborations with the Archdiocese of Chicago, wider outreach to our local community and connects to the University's academic ministry programs through the Pastoral Ministry Institute.
But most of all, OUMM encompasses YOU. Without you we have no reason to be. Throughout the year we sponsor retreats, service trips, weekly and daily liturgies, special celebrations that mark the passing of the year, and lectures and seminars. And all of these are opportunities to know ourselves and know God better. In fact, we dare to say they are opportunities to become more like God.
We hope you will visit McDonough Chapel of the Mother of Mercy and the Mercy Ministry Center. You'll find good and caring folks, a place of quiet, and a place for fun and friendship. We have a student lounge ready to welcome you. If you're even the least bit curious, take a risk and come explore what God may have in store for you. We go to God together, so come join us on the exciting journey that leads to God and to your deepest self.
Thank you for visiting the OUMM website!
Graziano Marcheschi, M.A., D.Min.
Vice President of University Mission and Ministry

In a recent public lands council meeting, council member Chuck Semborski expressed concern over a letter the public lands council had sent to the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining.
He said he's been involved with coal mining for more than 30 years and his company is very involved in monitoring stream and spring flows which might be affected by mining activity. "This letter will have impacts to all the coal operators and I take offense. We go to a tremendous amount of effort on monitoring. We don't control the land or the management."
Semborski thought these issues were resolved years ago.
Mistie Christiansen said Emery Town can't afford to lose any water.
Semborski said data is required before they can even apply for a mining lease. "It's in everybody's best interest to solve (water issues) up front. In Huntington Canyon, we have built two water treatment plants and one of them has never been turned on."
Christiansen said, "I need to go on record to say we're (Emery) concerned about our water."
Semborski said the letter has made things harder.
Christiansen said maybe the lands council needs to rethink the letter.
Semborski said it might be a good idea to do some public education and some presentations so people know what goes into preparing a permit for a mining lease and the requirements for water monitoring.
Emery Water Conservancy is looking at Trail Mountain and how any mining there might affect Joe's Valley dam. There is a two mile boundary that mining couldn't come any closer than that.
Semborski said they have a lot of data on Trail Mountain. They have been monitoring springs on Trail and on East Mountain.
Sherrel Ward brought up a concern for ATVs destroying the private property of the Humbug Cattle Association.
Mike McCandless said the road they are referring to is a class D county road and not newly designated. The BLM has recently done some signing in that area recently. The OHV users will contact the cattle company to see what can be done and will make an effort to work with the land owners. One possible solution might be the installation of cattle guards.
Council chairman Ed Geary told of six new national monuments recently created using the Antiquities Act. Geary will be the chairman for 2013 and Rod Player was elected as vice-chairman. Bill Bates from the Division of Wildlife Resources reported quagga mussels have been found in Lake Powell, all three of the life stages. This means any boats must be decontaminated before they can go in any other waters. He met with Capt. Kyle Ekker and Howard Tuttle on the debris basins for Huntington Canyon. The money will be sent to the DWR and then passed through directly to the project. There will be an upper and lower debris basin. The upper basin will be completed first. A 30 foot box culvert will catch the debris. The big game numbers will be set at the RAC meeting. The 80 acres owned by DWR by the Castle Dale sewer ponds is being put up for sale. The DWR was budgeted $200,000 to purchase pheasants to be released this year. The division also has a day old pheasant chick program which will give you baby chicks if you have a place to keep them.
Bryan Torgerson from SITLA said he is working with the Sage riders to install a kiosk down by Woodside to let the OHV users know of the land management in that area. The SITLA board approved the grazing language for the Emery County land use bill. He said he has talked to Mike McCandless about selling a piece of land within the industrial area at Green River.
The forest service reported on the closures that will be in effect for Huntington Canyon this summer. The burn area to Electric Lake will be closed to overnight use, but open to day use. There will be much trail work take place this summer.

Notice the differnece between the top section and the single week section.
This is also the case in topics course format on 1.8+ but with one caveat... The Ajax controls are missing if you view any section in single mode (as pictured in the ss) EXCEPT section one... Everything works fine so long as you view section one.
I don't know if that will help – or not
Somewhat related to this issue is that after a while AJAX capabilities are not available. Is there a limit to the number of AJAX enabled objects? It seems after a while the AJAX move button is no longer available. (this is within the weekly view)
Version 1.8.2+ 2007021520 cannot move weeks or topics. Move buttons appear then disappear when page finishes loading. Anyone working on this because it seems fairly important.
Deleting the exercise module fixed this for an upgraded test installation, but still not working on our production installation.
The problem is in lib/ajax/ajaxcourse.js . I have a patch available at: http://repo.or.cz/w/moodle-blog-course-format.git?a=commitdiff;h=70b9fa0b37952e61c55c923e3fbe82ea7657263b;hp=d964566ed00b6612344585110b6edab692fdc4cb
I've tested this fix in the topics format, using FF. The problem was in the logic of js, so it shouldn't be dependent on browser.
Hi Jose,
I applied the patch & tested - in my case it doesn't resolve the issue for the "single section" mode nor the "all sections" mode. In the "all-sections" mode, (I'll upload a screenshot), only my quiz' at the very end of the course have ajax icons; interestingly enough, in single mode for that section, the same quiz links do not have ajax. Everything else, in both single/all-sections mode do not have ajax. I'll upload the 2 screenshots.
ajax only enabled in last section of course, and only if not in single-section mode (I have applied the patch from comments in this tracker item); before the patch nothing was ajax, I believe...
Hi Leo,
Sorry for the lag in response. I completely missed the email notifying me of the new comment. I cannot replicate this issue. Could you send me a backup of a course that is having this problem? That should help me try to reproduce the problem. Also, what web browser are you using? If it's internet explorer which version are you using?
Hi Jose,
I tested in FF3.5 on osx, and in IE7or8 (can't remember) in XP-SP3 (virtual machine) - I really tried getting it working as it would really speed up a bunch of repetitive tasks on our end. I can't supply a course backup (clients site), but I could probably get away with doing a screencast type video of the problem on various browsers & send it to your email... would that work? I'm swamped at the moment, but perhaps later next week... let me know if that would work.
- Leo
Hi Leo,
I think I found a probably pattern. All the topics that revert to non-AJAX in my case have a non-empty topic label. As soon as I I blanked the content of the topic label and use a separate label in the topic, the AJAX controls came back. This means the problem may have something to do with the logic of processing the topics as Javascript on the client side.
I found another probable pattern. At least in my case, every topic label that has

 renders the topic AJAX disabled. As soon as I removed the
 tags, AJAX was back. I suspect some HTML tags are not processed properly in the code that enables AJAX control.
The problem is in lib/ajax/section_classes.js, which scans for 'ul' tags to process. The topic label is outside the 'ul' of the entire topic, that's why any
 tag in the topic label breaks the code to add AJAX control for that topic. One possible solution is to put the topic label inside the topic
 tag.
This seemed to fix the problem:
in lib/ajax/section_classes.js, find the line that says:
this.resources_ul = this.content_td.getElementsByTagName('ul')[0];
comment it out, replace it with the following:
this.resources_ul = this.content_td.getElementsByClassName('section img-text')[0];
All the topic-level
 tags are of the class "section img-text".
Tak - I think you've got it - at first glance it appears to resolve part of my issue as well, namely when viewing the entire course ajax is enabled... you rock!
Jose - I haven't had a chance yet to look at this some more yet - the single section ajax still doesn't work for me with the above fix.
- Regards.
You're welcome, Leo! However, I cannot reproduce the symptom of not having AJAX control in single section mode. Did you enable that mode using the "show only ..." icon?
I created a patch to fix the issue(20091027sectioncontent_ajax.patch). Please give it a try and let me know if more issue occur.
Tak: sorry - missed your question to me, just noticed it today - I'll try Rassiani's patch right now & see if it works on my problem site...
I updated our installation with the new lib/ajax/ajaxcourse.js and lib/ajax/ajaxlib.php and now items no longer delete in the course. Once you delete something it disappears, but when you turn editing off the item appears again.
Ryan - Thanks for your feedback and help with testing. I realize this may seem a bit silly, but I had a couple of questions. First, did you upgrade completely to the latest version of Moodle or did you just make the suggested changes related to this issue. I would actually encourage testing with the latest version of Moodle. Secondly, if this patch is in fact causing another issue let's go ahead and create a separate issue in the tracker for that as it allows us to keep each tracker issue focused. Peace - Anthony
I updated from MOODLE19_STABLE this morning. (I update every morning) It fetched 3 new files:
I found that deleting was now broken, so I checked:
and it listed that a new version of the file, relating to this bug, was committed recently, so I posted this comment.
Ryan - Thanks for clarifying about your upgrade, I wanted to make sure your had the latest version and not simply applied the patch to an earlier version. I tested the latest version as well and while I now I have the ability to move things around I can confirm the behavior you describe. I think we may be able to mark this issue as resolved and continue to comment and work on resolving the behavior you are reporting about deleting on
MDL-10221 which seems to be a bit elusive. Thanks again for your help with testing. Peace - Anthony
I tested the latest patch with moodle 1.9.5 on 2 separate servers - ajax mostly worked, but not on this particular course; it stopped after the 1st block (see pic).
Leo - I couldn't re-create the issue. Could you try to update your moodle version to 1.9.6.
Thank you.
Hi Rossiani, I'm looking into getting the site upgraded as soon as 1.9.7 comes out - I'll check again after that to see if the problem is resolved on the site in question.

Affected Employee: An employee subject to a noise exposure equal to, or exceeding the Action Level and included in the Hearing Conservation Program.
Attenuators: Means any hearing protective device or material, which is capable of being worn on the head, covering the ear canal or inserted in the ear canal; is designed wholly or in part to reduce the level of sound entering the ear; and has a scientifically accepted indicator of its noise reduction value.
Baseline Audiogram: Means the audiogram against which future audiograms are compared to determine the extent of change of hearing level.
Clinical Audiological Evaluation: A clinical evaluation of a person's hearing capability, using a calibrated pure-tone audiometer and performed in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.95 (g) and (h). At SLAC, such tests are provided on site by the Medical Department.
Decibel (dB): Means a unit of measurement of sound pressure levels.
dB(A): Means the sound pressure level in decibels measured on the A-weighted scale.
Dose: The dose is represented as a percentage of allowable noise a worker can be exposed to during one day. It is based on OSHA's maximum Permissible Exposure Level (PEL) of 90 dBA over an 8 hour work day, which is equal to a 100% dose. If the total dose results in 50% or higher, they must be included in your HCP as they are at risk to noise induced hearing loss.
Engineering Controls: Means any procedure or method, other than an administrative control or personal hearing protection that reduces the sound level either at the noise source or in the hearing zone of the exposed personnel.
Hearing Conservation Program Services Contract; Means a competitively bid contract with an outside contracted vendor to provide services necessary to identify noise hazards, measure employee exposures and provide audiometric testing to City bureaus.

Other Employees: All employees other than those designated as Affected Employees and not included in the Hearing Conservation Program.
Sound Level Meter: A hand-held, direct-reading instrument with a microphone, an electronic-filter network, and a visual display such as a meter or digital readout. Because sound-level meters provide a real-time indication of noise intensity, they are typically used to survey an area.
Significant Standard Threshold Shift: A negative change in hearing threshold relative to the baseline audiogram of an average of 25 dB or greater in either or both ears averaged over 2000, 3000, 4000 Hz. This confirmed shift must be recorded on the OSHA 300 Log.
Standard Threshold Shift (STS): A negative change in hearing threshold relative to the baseline audiogram of an average of 10 dB or more at 2000, 3000, and 4000 Hz in either ear.
Standard Threshold Shift Revised Baseline: Occurs when the same level of loss (STS) of hearing is present and consistent over two hearing test cycles and an audiologist verifies the change is consistent. This new documented level of hearing can be used for future comparisons to determine if the employee is having further hearing loss or if there are improvements to an employees hearing capabilities.
Time Weighted Average (TWA): That sound level, which if constant over an 8-hour exposure, would result in the same noise dose as is measured.

Chapter 16
Jerusalem has become as a harlot, reveling in her idols and worshipping false gods—She has partaken of all the sins of Egypt and the nations round about, and she is rejected—Yet in the last days, the Lord will again establish His covenant with her.
1 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God unto Jerusalem; Thy
4 And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast
5 None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.
6 ¶And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.
7 I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and

10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.
11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
12 And I put a jewel on thy

22 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood.
23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord God;)
24 That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.
25 Thou hast built thy high place
26 Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.
27 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished

30 How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord God, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;
31 In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;
32 But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her
33 They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and

At first blush, the recent attacks against major U.S. financial institutions appear to be a textbook case of hacktivism: Under the name "Operation Ababil," a group of alleged Iranian protestors called for supporters to attack banks and Google's YouTube, citing the Internet giant's refusal to take down a movie that offended some Muslims.
Yet the resulting distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that caused disruptions at major banks -- including Bank of America, JPMorgan, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo -- did not emanate from the widespread home computers of hacktivists, but from hundreds -- or, at most, thousands -- of servers running vulnerable content management software, say security experts familiar with the attacks. Using the servers and customized malware, the attackers leveled between 70 Gbps and 100 Gbps of peak traffic at the targeted sites and tailored the campaign to get around defenses specifically designed to stop floods of data.
The overall picture emerging from investigations into the attack is that of not just a successful campaign by hacktivists, but of something more, says Rodney Joffe, senior vice president and senior technologist at Internet infrastructure provider Neustar.
"This was a very well done attack, and the key thing is that this was not an attack that was easily survivable," he says. "They effectively took down or disrupted major financial organizations."
The details emerging from the investigation contradict the notion that the denial-of-service (DoS) attack came from a multitude of hacktivist computers during Operation Ababil. Using the name "Cyber fighters of Izz ad-din Al qassam," someone -- or some group -- posted a call to action on Pastebin on Sept. 18, calling for Muslims to attack the Bank of America and the New York Stock Exchange. Four days earlier, messages linked to the same group called for attacks against Google's YouTube.
Yet the Web requests from individuals' systems counted for the minority of traffic in the attack, experts say. The servers that formed the backbone of the attack, and which accounted for the majority of the traffic directed at the targets, were content management servers -- most, if not all, running the Joomla CMS, according to sources who asked not to be named. The attackers infected vulnerable content-management servers with a customized version of the "itsoknoproblembro" DDoS toolkit, likely using a vulnerability in the default Bluestork Joomla template.
Reports of compromises started appearing in the Joomla forums in mid-August, far before the release of the controversial movie on YouTube. The timing suggests that the attackers decided to participate in the hacktivist's operation or used the hacktivism as a smokescreen to camouflage their own activities.
[ After years of focusing mainly on the malware used in data breaches and financially motivated hacks, some security experts have begun to turn the spotlight on the attacker himself. See Turning Tables: ID'ing The Hacker Behind The Keyboard ]
The attackers likely had high-profile targets in mind when they created the network of compromised servers, says Dan Holden, director of security for Arbor Network, a network security company.
"I would say this [set of tools] was custom-built and put together for this particular type of attack: going after targets that would have DDoS defenses and would know how to defend themselves," Holden says. "If you compromise the right servers with the right bandwidth, you can be quite successful."
The average DoS attack falls far short of the volume of traffic leveled at targeted sites during Operation Ababil. While Arbor declined to give bandwidth figures, DDoS mitigation firm Prolexic stated that the attack reached 70 Gbps and 30 million packets per second against some of its customers. Another source familiar with the attacks, who asked not to be named, pegged the bandwidth as high as 100 Gbps.
Such volumes far outstrip previous attacks. In a presentation (PDF) at the North American Network Operators Group in February, Arbor's Jose Nazario asserted that large attacks were the new normal, but defined "large" as attacks with sustained bandwidths of 1 Gbps, two orders of magnitude smaller than those leveled at the U.S. financial institutions. More than 40 percent of companies surveyed by Arbor had encountered attacks greater than 1 Gbps, and 13 percent had suffered attack topping 10 Gbps.

I posted the following to my blog:
http://my.opera.com/BarryHofstetter/blo ... -important
Many of our Bible schools and seminaries prepare students to read New Testament Greek, and this is all the Greek they ever will actually read. Now, besides the fact that many former NT Greek students don't keep up even with the minimal skills they acquire in their classes, students who never read anything outside a narrow range of literature, who have what teachers sometimes call a closed curriculum, have never really learned the language. What they had done is learned to decode the Greek with English equivalents, using various tools (often electronic these days), parsing guides and lexicons, on which they are dependent. Now, I'm not going to say that this is all bad, and it might be helpful better to understand what underlies a particular English translation, or to see a little more clearly what a technical discussion in a commentary is talking about. But what they have not done is learned the language. Instead, they have learned what scholars think the English equivalent for the Greek vocabulary item or grammatical construction is supposed to be.
In other words, for them, the Greek New Testament (this applies to those who learn Hebrew this way too) is an artifact. It's a kind of stand alone item, and, linguistically speaking, is out of context. It can be admired, and you can learn a lot from studying it, but you don't get anywhere near the full benefit.
Where do you get that full benefit, and where do you learn really to read and understand NT Greek? By reading lots of extra biblical Greek literature. You then become familiar with a wide range of idioms. You see familiar friends, so to speak, in new places and doing new things. You see that there is more than one way to say the same thing. Suddenly your Greek NT is no longer an artifact to be studied at a distance, it's no longer an archeological dig to determine the meaning of the text, but it is a document that makes sense as a nearly living language. The reader also has the added benefit of a better sense not only of the linguistic context, but of the general context of the ancient world.
So what are you waiting for! Read more Greek... NOW!

Small Talk Language Academy offers an early language program designed to expose children to foreign languages and stimulate interest in world cultures. We offer Spanish, French, Italian and Mandarin Chinese educational playgroup classes taught by native-speaking teachers. For children 6 mo - 12y
Welcome! Bienvenue! Bienvenida! 欢迎 Benvenuti!
The Importance of Early Language Learning
Young children possess a great capacity to absorb and learn language. Experts estimate by age 12 humans already begin to lose the ability to hear and say new sounds. By taking advantage of the window of opportunity between birth and adolescence children are able to optimize their learning potential, speak secondary languages with a native accent, and absorb gramatical structure naturally.
Read more about the additional cognitive benefits of children that learn a second language at http://smalltalkusa.com.

The Inov-8 Trailroc 255 is a versatile trail running shoe designed for a neutral foot motion, ideal for racing and daily training.
The Inov8 Trailroc 255 packs just enough foam underfoot for long miles on rugged trails, yet keeps a low and nimble feel. With a 6mm drop from heel-to-toe, this shoe promotes a mid to forefoot landing for a smooth and stable ride. The durable outsole uses 3 types of sticky rubber for excellent hold on dry and rocky trails.
Model Number:
Weight: 9.9 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (22mm), Forefoot (16mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
Comments: Great grip on wet and dry ground and all kind of surfaces. Not that comfortable on asphalt - but that's not what they were designed for. Not much of a chance of bruising because of the substantial rock plate (but the shoes are not very flexible as a result - at least compared to others). Heel cutout is very, very low - at least on my foot, that leads to heel slippage even if I lace lock. Haven't found that to be a problem though. The one real negative in my book: they run HOT! So much so that I don't want to wear them if the temperature is above 50. And once they are soaked with sweat, they don't drain well...and as a result, end up being much heavier 10 miles in than they were at the start. Might not be an issue for you if you don't sweat much...
From: Bernie, Round Rock, TX
Comments: I bought these shoes 10 days before running the Firetrails 50 (my first ultra). I was concerned about wearing a new shoe on a long run like that. Not only did I finish, but my feet were feeling great. I had no blisters and no black toe nails. I think these are an awesome pair of shoes. The shoes do not have any support, but I cinch down the the laces. This held my feet in the shoe very nicely. I had no problems with bruises because of rocks or anything. I could recommend these shoes to anyone interested.
From: Blake, Clovis, CA, USA
Comments: I took the 255 Trailroc to a 20 mile run in Joshua Tree national park by the mojave desert and I was amazed how it performed on rugged terrain. Despite I am used to the 4mm drop of the Salomon Sense and its light weight, the trailroc likes to go fast as well. Its very forgiving towards sharp rocks and I just breeze thru them with ease. I love the phenomenal grip the outsole exhibits towards very loose,sandy and muddy trail. The MetaFLEX actually makes the shoes very flexible and easy to run on midfoot/forefoot despite being smoked during uphill and through fatigue by the miles my legs were in. I bought this as training shoe for the Salomon Sense and surprisingly it amazed me even at the first time I ran with it. It seemed to me that I dont need to break it in and my feet just readily adapt to them. INOV8 really stresses out on its workmanship and I would take their shoes any day even sundays than the new balance minimus. The uppermesh is designed so well that I never felt any debris inside my shoes. No hot spots felt despite the gnarly downhill. It feels a little heavy but since it promotes natural running, it still feels fast.I would definitely recommend this shoes.

This week, the City of Tallahassee will begin construction of a sidewalk that will run along Centerville Road between Hodges Drive and Blair Stone Road. As sidewalks already exist along Blair Stone Road and Centerville Road up to Hodges Drive, this project will enhance connectivity in the area. This will increase accessibility for transit patrons and develop a more walkable community.
The sidewalk will be built on the east side of the roadway. The project will be completed in two phases: from Hodges Drive to Goodwood Drive and from Goodwood Drive to Blair Stone Road. Additionally, two crossings will be created to tie into the existing sidewalks on the west side of the road (at the Betton Road intersection and the Trescott Drive intersection).
As this is a Canopy Road and one of the gems of Tallahassee, the City worked closely with the Canopy Road Citizens Committee. The committee approved the project, and based upon its members' input, pedestrian rest areas (i.e., benches) will also be installed along the route.
Because of the value our community places on our gorgeous canopy, the City has designed the sidewalk in a way that will protect the trees and their root systems to the greatest extent possible. A natural features inventory has been completed, and based upon the project plans, no direct impacts to any patriarch trees is anticipated. Some of the measures taken to protect the canopy zone include elevated boardwalks, custom sidewalk structures that reduce the impact to the root zone, a meandering alignment and varying widths to help the sidewalk fit into the existing landscape. Any necessary root pruning will occur under the supervision of a Certified Arborist.
Additionally, some underbrush will be removed as part of the project. The underbrush removal will make the sidewalk visible to vehicles on Centerville Road and increase pedestrian safety.
This week, work is beginning on Phase 1 between Hodges to Goodwood drives. Weather permitting, work is expected to be completed by November. Construction hours will normally be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, with limited weekend work and restrictions during morning and evening rush hour.
Construction will start near Goodwood Drive and be completed in sections working south toward Hodges Drive. To allow for the safest work environment for the crew and the least delay for motorists, three different traffic patterns will be implemented during the project based on the location of construction. Throughout the project, accommodations will be made for local traffic to access their property.
While work is taking place between Goodwood and Trescott drives, the northbound lane within the work zone will be closed. Two-way traffic will be maintained with the use of flagmen. Motorists should expect minor delays.
While work is taking place between Trescott Drive and Betton Road, the northbound lane within the work zone will be closed. Northbound traffic will be detoured at Betton Road to E. Randolph Circle to Argonne Road back to Centerville Road. Residents living on Cantigny Way and Escadrille Drive will only be able to exit and head south on Centerville Road. Southbound traffic will not be impacted.
While work is taking place between Betton Road and Hodges Drive, the northbound lane within the work zone will be closed. Northbound traffic will be shifted to the middle turn lane. Southbound traffic will not be impacted.
Phase 2 of the project is expected to begin in November, following the completion of phase 1. Updated traffic patterns will be provided prior to its start.
As this work is taking place within the Canopy Road Protection Zone, we are taking extra measures to ensure that safety of the crew, motorists and the environment. For more information on this project, please contact the City's Public Works Department at 891-8234.

Comfortable and Pretty Sandals
"These sandals aren't really flip-flops; they look more dressy than that and can be worn with more elegant clothing. They look very pretty and, most importantly, are very comfortable. They run slightly small so be sure to get half a size bigger than usual."

Emery County voters went to the polls on Nov. 3 to decide a number of mayoral and city council races. Also on the ballot was the Castle Valley Special Service District Bond Election. This bond election passed for the issuance of $12.5 million in bonds for use in projects throughout Emery County over the next 10 years.
The money will be used in culinary water, secondary water, road construction, sewer maintenance and upgrades as well as several other projects outlined by the cities. The second portion of the CVSSD election was the continuation of the tax for operating and maintenance funds for the district. Both of these ballot questions passed.

CORINTH – The recent notification that Corinth has been awarded a $4 million grant to address widespread drainage issues was welcome news.
Having taken office only months after the disastrous countywide flooding of May 2010, Mayor Tommy Irwin and the Board of Aldermen have since been keenly focused on projects throughout the city to reduce flooding.
This grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration of $4,090,624 is awarded from the 2012 Disaster Relief Opportunity program to support flood control and protect local businesses, said U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran, in announcing the grant award. Corinth will provide a 20 percent match of more than $1 million for the proposed project.
Corinth experienced two federally declared flood disasters in a two-year period, and the city street department as well as the Tombigbee River Valley Water Management District have been working on several projects in the city to clear drainage canals and reduce the chance of flooding.
Those ongoing efforts are important, because it will be a couple of years before the city sees the results of work conducted with these new grant funds.
"It will be about a year to construction," said Matthew Estes of Cook Coggin Engineers. "It's unfortunate, but there's work going on the entire time. It's just a lot of steps with federal and state government that have to be taken care of."
The project is expected to created 40 jobs and save 107 other jobs.
The scope of the project includes improving the pipe sizes and channels in the Hickory Road-Oak Lane area northwest of Shiloh Road and Tishomingo Street-Polk Street areas northeast of Linden Street and the Kansas City Southern Railroad, Estes said.
To keep water from ponding and alleviate the existing problems, Estes said they will construct detention ponds – temporary water holding areas – to slow water flow, while also increasing drainage pipe sizes in some areas, installing pipe culverts, box culverts and ditches according to the need.
"These types of projects are slow-moving and everybody has to be patient," he said.

Annual Funding Notices
The Pension Protection Act of 2006 amended ERISA section 101(f) to create new funding notice requirements for single-employer plans and to change funding notice requirements for multiemployer plans. PPA also repealed ERISA section 4011, which required certain underfunded plans to provide an annual funding status notice to participants.
Single-Employer Plan Annual Funding Notices: Under section 101(f) of ERISA and guidance issued by the Department of Labor, starting with plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2008, single-employer plans with liabilities that exceed plan assets by $50 million or more must provide PBGC with a copy of the Annual Funding Notice by the Annual Funding Notice due date. Single-employer plans with liabilities that exceed plan assets by less than $50 million must provide PBGC with a copy of the Annual Funding Notice within 30 days of receiving a written request from PBGC.

The all-new CTX1300 expands the innovative concept first introduced with the CTX series—the idea of combining higher levels of comfort and technology to create a riding experience unique to Honda. These bikes place a premium on ease of use and a spacious rider environment with comfortable ergonomics. But now, by extending Honda's longstanding and successful heritage of V-4 technology, the CTX1300 adds a full load of 1300-class muscle with exhilarating right-now thrust accompanied by a distinctive V-4 engine pulse and exhaust note. That helps make the CTX1300 an advanced motorcycle in multiple ways—one that incorporates class-leading comfort, unusually broad-shouldered versatility and new technology to deliver an unmatched riding experience. Its moderate weight, low center of gravity (CG) and nimble handling make the CTX1300 a joy to ride wherever the day may lead, while its styling gives it a unique look that makes it stand out in a crowd. There's also a Deluxe model that adds technology such as an audio package including Bluetooth® connectivity, self-cancelling turn signals, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control, plus blacked-out styling elements that all add to the CTX1300's distinctive equation.

Posted on 08/01/2006 7:33:58 PM PDT by DoctorZIn
Top News Story
Iran is preparing operation "Judgment Day?"
- Yehudit Barsky, InfoIsrael.net reported that little attention has been paid to Tehran's preparations for a possible showdown with America and its allies for a confrontation code-named "Al-Qiyamah," which is Arabic for "Judgment Day."
The head of the IRGC tells forces to "prepare to take revenge" on Israel and the U.S. Or did he speak to soon?
- Reuters reported that the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards said hard-line forces should get ready to take revenge on Israel and the United States for the offensive on Lebanon. The regime later retracted the report.
Chavez in Iran: "Let's finish off the U.S."
- The Washington Post reported that Iran awarded Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez its highest state medal on Sunday for supporting Tehran in its nuclear standoff with the international community. Then quoted Chavez saying: "Let's save the human race, let's finish off the U.S. empire."
Iran says it is hardening its stance on its nuclear policy.
- Yahoo News reported that Iran's president signaled that Israeli attacks against the Palestinian territories and Lebanon were causing Iran to harden its stance in the international row over its nuclear program.
- FOX News reported that Iran's foreign ministry warned Sunday that Tehran would abandon the West's package of nuclear incentives if the U.N. Security Council approves a resolution against Iran on Monday.

Bush sees "a moment of opportunity" to deal with Iran?

"If you want on or off this Iran ping list, Freepmail DoctorZin
We really need to be doing something about Iran -- yesterday.
"prepare to take revenge
I must have missed something.....revenge for what? Being free?
I hate to say it but I believe that Iran will instigate a war in the Middle East this month... all the signs are there and they are increasing daily.
How much warning and blustering must we absorb, before we flatten the bastard and everything near him?
Must we wait for the mushroom clouds over America and Israel before we respond?
Semper Fi
Thanks DoctorZIn.
The 22nd of August is fast approaching.
Check out these threads from Monday and Sunday also.
Iranian Alert - July 31, 2006 - Iran preparing its people for war with Israel
Iranian Alert - July 29 - Ahmadinejad's promised message to the world coming soon... August 22nd?
With all of the bleeding hearts, do-gooder and procrastinators that are elected officials, the answer will probably be YES because we need proof of the country that either launched or set off the weapon. Of course the MSM will do its best to show the massacre of those "innocents" when we finally do retaliate.
Do they have milk factories on Takte Tavoos Street in Tehran?
I SOOOO agree with you!
About our military in Iraq, and our contractors,,,we would have to get them out. We would have to give them a few hours warning to GET OUT!
Even on a windy day, if a nuke were exploded in the air, our troops could don their NBC suits and if they are 100 miles out or more, they are probably ok. Theoretically, it is asserted that fallout could reach the US. Again, fallout rides on the wind. The most recent info we have on this is the Chernobyl incident.
The questions still remain on all the variables, but my point is: it IS possible to have healthy survivors after a nuke that is dropped halfway around the world. Was there any documentation of fallout 'effects' in the US from the bombs dropped in Japan in WWII? Now, it is only fair to say, the nukes we have now are at least 10x stronger per warhead (selectable yield), so 80x stronger than what Japan received.
Has anyone noticed that although Russia and China protect Iran in the Security Council, neither country has even hinted about jumping in and defending Iran should things get really hairy. Has there been any country/state who has said, 'if Iran gets nuked, then a nuke will be fired in their defense'...? Iran has NOT ONE COUNTRY covering their a$$$. Just a thought.
Iran's behind the mess in Lebanon - and they've pushed for North Korea's launches.
They've tried to ignite a civil war in Iraq...
So what's left? Pakistan? Overthrow the "western" part of the House of Saud?
Here's what I fear -- Iran's sifting -- who will stand with them, who won't. Who's weak, who's not -- who can be manipulated. Iran's not kidding, they're going for World War III.
It is time this crazy regime is taken down. Prayers for our Iranian friends.....and the world.
I think it's very possible to have healthy survivors here if bombs are set off halfway around the world..especially considering how many nuclear tests we set off above ground in Nevada.
I love the delusions of gandeur. LOL.
"Must we wait for the mushroom clouds over America and Israel before we respond?"
With all of the bleeding hearts, do-gooder and procrastinators that are elected officials, the answer will probably be YES because we need proof of the country that either launched or set off the weapon. Of course the MSM will do its best to show the massacre of those "innocents" when we finally do retaliate.
Sadly this is completely true.
Yes. I think the big worry, and I share this, is the troops we have around the area. The troops and the contractors and those Americans who are trying to make things better in that part of the world. Keeping those Americans safe is the complicating factor, I know. They are very, very important. I don't mean to be callous or irresponsible in my discussion.
I was raised in an era that promoted the idea that the use of a nuke would automatically result in nuclear holocaust as the be-all, end-all of humans on earth. That really isn't the case and I was just wondering if the nuke discussion was worth having. I don't pretend to know how to work the logistics. No way. I am trying to discuss what sometimes is considered the 'unthinkable.' I hope that makes some sense.
It's about time we did..
I expect Iran plans to "test" its first Russian warheads over American troops as we mass on the border to invade Iran.
Then Russia and China will have gotten its real payback for all the bomb making facilities and hardware they have given for the Jihad.
Americas front line army devasted by a nuclear exchange, 15 billion dollars...
Americas fleet having to withdraw to protect it from the Chinese silkworms loaded with nukes, breaking our supply lines... 1 Billion dollars
Americas Heartland unprotected from Russia and China... Priceless
Americas front line army devasted by a nuclear exchange, 15 billion dollars...
Tehran and Damascus succumbing to multiple MIRVs from sub-launched missiles and Minutemen from the states, 15 minutes later...Free.
Americas fleet having to withdraw to protect it from the Chinese silkworms loaded with nukes, breaking our supply lines... 1 Billion dollars
24 hours later, all of the military sites, shipping sites, and refineries in Iran turned into glass craters from B-2 bombers out of Missouri...No charge.
Americas Heartland unprotected from Russia and China... Priceless
Bush getting impeached for being such a dumbass as to let our forces get nuked, and new-President Cheney imitating Ronald Reagan in restoring America's greatness...PRICELESS!
WAR A major war between Muslims and Christians: Half the Christian army will sign a peace treaty with the Muslim army, while the second half of the Christian army remains the common enemy.
ISTANBUL CONQUERED BY CHRISTIANS The enemy half of the Christian army conquers Constantinople (Istanbul), Turkey.
ISTANBUL RECONQUERED JOINTLY BY MUSLIM AND CHRISTIANS The Muslims and the good half of the Christian army conquer Constantinople together, against the enemy Christians. Thereafter, a Christian will say the victory was due to the cross, and the Muslim will say it was due to Islam. A battle between both sides will ensue, and the Muslim Ruler will be martyred.
SYRIA CONQUERED BY CHRISTIANS The two Christian armies reunite, conquering Syria.
CHRISTIAN DOMINATION Christians dominate the world up to Khaiber (near Madinah), and they will pursue Muslims with 80 flags, with 12,000 men under each flag.
a piece of advice for the iranian people ... fix you leaders ... or we will.
A pomegranate will be so huge that a jamaat will be able to eat it and the people will use its peel as shade.
LOL!!! That's hugh!!!

Pretty Good DiffuserThis diffuser is really cool you can turn it so that the hair only goes through the pointy things or change it so it goes through the vents. I got the Croc Greenion Dryer and it doesn't 'fit' on there. It will stay on but it doesn't snap on or anything so it makes me nervous that it will fall off and break, especially since the plastic the diffuser is made of is really thin and cheap so it will most likely break if dropped.

GDB 32: Phx v Edm
December 22 2008 12:08PM
You'll forgive us if we aren't exactly wetting our pants in anticipation of the game tonight. See, Friday night didn't go exactly as planned. Santa failed us. The Oilers failed us. The taxi companies failed us. Operation Red Nose failed us. The legal system failed us. Now we are left to sit at the Remand Centre looking out over a cold cityscape and wonder what went wrong.
OK fine. We aren't really in the prison downtown. But we are in a way worse kind of prison. A prison of the mind. And that's way worse, trust us. We are all imprisioned by a crappy team, folks, and we aren't getting out any time soon.
Real round table analysis
We had a long talk over a tall beer with a few of the boys after the game. We accused one dude of being a bandwagon jumper –- which he took with characteristically bad humour.
"Screw you Wanye" he yelled. "I am no bandwagon jumper. I'm here every single game griping the entire time. I wish the Oilers weren't so crappy this year. I wish that we could sit here and say 'Wow, the forwards sure are scoring left and right.' I wish I could say 'It's Christmas and I am already fairly certain the Oilers are going to make the playoffs this year.' But that ain't the case is it?"
It's an interesting distinction between fans who have a legitimate axe to grind and bandwagon jumpers.
We ran into our boy Ssseth at the game on Friday. He is the prime example of an Oiler fan that has been completely failed by the squad, in our opinion. With every failed pass, weak back check and fancy play that went awry you could see his anger starting to build. Don't get us wrong -- when the Oil tied the game in the third, there was joy and high fives all around. But when the shoot-out ended, he left the building faster than Elvis leaves a concert. Don't kid yourself: this guy is a superfan. But even superfans have their limits of the crap they can tolerate.
Is this bandwagon jumping? No. And we guess that's the point.
No jumping here
All the comments on sites like these, all the calls to radio shows all over town, all the water cooler talk about "Whatever is to be done about that Oiler hockey squadron?" All these folks really want is a winner. No one really wants MacT to be fired. They just want the team to win. No one really wants to see Nilsson, Roloson or (insert other Oiler in the dog house here) shipped out of town. You ask anyone on here that is vehement that MacT be fired the following question and watch their reply.
"Would you rather see MacT fired or the Oilers make the playoffs?"
We will bet it will be ridiculously lopsided. In fact we will make it the poll.
Look around RX1 during any given night of late. Look at the good people who have shelled out hundreds of their own dollars for tickets –- and then thousands of dollars for flat beers. We don't see a bandwagon jumper in the house. We have been to games in plenty of cities too, so we've seen the lame noise that passes for applause in all too many expansion cities.
It's different here. But there really is a limit to how much mediocrity one team's fans can take. And perhaps we haven't arrived at that point yet, but it is definitely on the horizon and getting closer with every passing minute.
You can't help but feel for the Citizens of the OilersNation. It's nut-freezing cold out, pitch black 23 hours a day and there really ain't shit to do up here but have a few beers and watch a few scores. So turn out to watch we do: in droves.
In RX1, at the bars, buying the PPV broadcasts or sitting around with a bunch of fellow "bandwagon jumpers" ignoring your poker game because the Oilers are down 3-1 "but on a powerplay." Teams in 25 other cities would KILL for the level of fan dedication. Our team seems content to sit on its hands and issue a bunch of platitudes about effort and turning the corner.
So this is prison.
On a related note: we will see YOU at the JL meeting tonight.
I read this site pretty much daily, but I rarely comment.
All I can say is holy hobble-knockers™! I'm honored to be called a superfan, I really am. God knows with this team it's not easy some days. I'm going to show my wife this and proudly proclaim "See, I told you! All those thousands upon thousands of hours (never mind dollars) of watching, reading, talking, listening, thinking, dreaming, praying and hallucinating about the Oilers have finally paid off! I'm not a lunatic, there are others like me!". Maybe she'll let me buy another jersey (you can never have enough jerseys right?). Some days I imagine my wife prays for the off seasons as much as I pray for Oil to bring home Lord Stanley's mug once again.
So about the game on Friday night against the Ducks; It's funny, I noticed "this guy" in the row in front of me with an Oilersnation t-shirt on. I didn't think they were out yet, so it was driving me bananas wondering where he got it. Finally I cracked and had to ask. Lo' and beyold it was Wayne Gretz himself! It was great. I think I was just as pumped to meet someone from Oilersnation as he was to meet someone who reads it. :) Talking with him at times during the game, I could really feel his passion for the Oilers. I think you just know a diehard fan when you meet one and he definitely fits the bill. Keep up the great work Wanye (and company), I do enjoy it!
I was at the 'Yotes game last night as well. Does anyone know if there were some rule changes in the off season I missed? I thought a game was supposed to be 3 periods, not the 1 or 2 the Oilers have been putting in so far this year. All I want for Christmas is a consistent 60 minute effort! Oh well, at least they were able to pull off the win. I guess it's nice to have some positive feelings about the Oil heading into Christmas, right? Being an Oilers fan all these years, I've learned to take what I can get.
Have a safe and happy holiday season Nation!
December 23 2008, 03:00PM
@ Ssseth:
Well this is a nice comment to get! Way better than the usual "Wanye - have you suffered brain damage at any point in your life?"
"Talking with him at times during the game, I could really feel his passion for the Oilers."
I hope my passion for Sheldon Souray came though too. And by passion I mean man crush and by man crush I mean stalker tendencies.
I agree with the 60 minutes of effort wish too. All I want for Christmas is a 60 minute effort and a first line winger who can shoot the puck through the boards and beat the crap out of the underperforming player of the week - whomever he may be.
Have a good Christmas and even better '09 Ssseth.
Note: Those good wishes go only to Ssseth. The rest of you - no merry anythings.
