Team USA Strikes Gold and Bronze at World Mountain Running Championships
At the 28th World Mountain Running Championships held on Sunday, September 2, 2012 in Ponte di Legno, Italy, the four-member U.S. Women's Mountain Running Team took the gold medal with an incredible score of 18 points to best the second-place Italian team by 11 points. Switzerland claimed the bronze medal with 58 points.
Overcast skies with temperatures in the 50s with just a slight breeze at the 10:30 a.m. start were welcomed by the nearly 90 runners who competed in the senior women's race. With rain for two days prior to the race, it was a nice change to see the sun breaking through the clouds from time to time during the 8.8-kilometer mostly-uphill course that featured 760 meters of elevation gain.
Leading the U.S. women was 26-year-old Morgan Arritola, Fairfield, ID, who finished third to take the bronze medal in a time of 47:26 over the 8.8-kilometer, mostly uphill course. "It was hard," said Arritola, "It's always good, but it's always hard. I like mountain running because it's a chance to see who can suffer the most. The team result was great. Individually, I did all I could today. And today, two people were better than me and that's how it goes," said Arritola.
Those two women were Austria's Andrea Mayr who posted a time of 46:35 to take the win, and Italy's Valentia Belotti who ran 47:04.
Second for the U.S. women was 28-year-old Stevie Kremer, Crested Butte, CO, who recently moved to Italy to teach for one year. Kremer finished in seventh place with a time of 48:54. "In an uphill race it's always difficult – I don't think you ever feel great," said Kremer. "It was an amazing course and an amazing experience and I'm glad to be part of Team USA." Asked whether her pre-race expectations were met, Kremer said "I didn't know what to expect…I really had no expectations. In my head and in my heart I was hoping for a top five, but I'm happy with a top 10. My future is in mountain running, it's all I want to do."
Finishing in third for Team USA was Melody Fairchild, 38, Boulder, CO, who was three seconds behind Kremer to finish eighth overall. "The energy at World's has lifted me up. The competition has inspired me to start training tomorrow for next year," said a beaming Fairchild, "I visualized a finish in the top 5 – I was eighth. Now I know that I'm in the ballpark. I'm excited to train for cross country season as a stepping stone for mountain running and next year's team selection race. I think the competition is going to get more fierce every year. I think the word is going to get out about mountain running,"
The top three finishers for USA were all first-time team members. They joined veteran Brandy Erholtz who has been on every team since 2008. Erholtz, 35, Evergreen, CO, had an admittedly off day finishing in 40th position with a time of 53:13.
Said women's team manager Ellen Miller, "The women delivered what we thought they could. A gold medal. They elevated the American women back on the podium. It's a dream come true."
There were 19 teams competing in the senior women's division.
This was the third gold medal for the U.S. women's team with the first in 2006 and the second in 2007. The women's team also won bronze in 2004 and 2009.
Individually, the U.S. women now have two bronze medals, the first won in 2007 by Laura Haefeli. Added to the medal count is the incredible gold-medal performance by Kasie Enman at last year's world championships.
The six-member U.S. Men's Mountain Running Team finished in fourth place at the Championships, repeating last year's team finish. However, their combined team score this year was 88 compared to 112 in 2011.
Winning gold this year was Eritrea with 17 points, followed by Italy in silver-medal position with 31 points, and Russia scoring 75 to take the bronze medal.
The men's course was 14.1-kilometers and featured 1150 meters of elevation gain starting at the village of Temu and finishing in the village of Tonale. Although this was considered an uphill year for the World Championships – the event alternates in odd-numbered years to an up/down format – there were significant downhill portions in the course this year including a steep and technical downhill section of about 400 meters between the three and four kilometer marks and a 200-meter very fast downhill finish.
There were also sections of flat running through the village of Ponte di Legno crossing two wooden bridges before heading up a steep grassy section of switchbacks which led into a rolling section of single track through the forest. And of course there were some steep sections of climbing, some on rocks, others on grassy areas.
For Team USA, three men finished in the top 20. The first finisher was newcomer to the team, Glen Randall, 25, Mesa, CO, who posted at time of 1:05:48 for ninth overall. "I went through a major rough patch. I had a side stitch at 6 kilometers into the race. I just stayed totally within myself then managed to go better. I was hoping it (the side stitch) wouldn't last long and it didn't," said Randall. "I've been working on my finishes and I'm really happy with my finish and I'm definitely pleased with my race."
Next up for Randall is the ING New York Marathon where he has two goals, "First is to go out at the right pace, second when the moment comes, I'll seize it. That moment defines the race."
Fellow newcomer to the Team, Sage Canaday, 26, Boulder, CO, was only seven seconds behind Randall and finished in 12th place. "It was my first U.S. National Team and my first time wearing the team gear, which is nice."
Gear Review: KEEN A86 TR
The Specs
Weight: 7.77 oz / 229.786 grams
- Synthetic lining
- Breathable textile mesh upper
- Non-marking rubber out-sole
- 3mm multi-directional lugs
- Removable high-rebound EVA foot-bed
- Protective toe-guard
The Experience
While I'm a big fan of the KEEN lifestyle and their shoes, I have to admit, I had some apprehension about putting them in the performance category. I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. The A86 TR are comfortable right out of the box and even when worn barefoot (not necessarily recommended) I had no problems with chaffing or rubbing of any kind.
At first look, the asymmetrical lacing seemed more of a stylistic than useful feature, however, as I began running I found it to make for a softer feel on my foot than conventional lacing systems. Normally, I have to be careful with hot spots on the top of my foot if I get my laces even slightly too snug, but the A86 TR made this issue obsolete. The tongue on my right shoe did leave a slight gap once I had been running for a while, but nothing that effected my run; just left a thin strip of dirt on my sock. I consulted other KEEN fans online and they have had no issues with the tongue. The lacing ends a bit low so I had some slight concerns that my heel would move around too much, but it wasn't an issue. The shoe is so flexible and laces up nice and snug it left a very secure fit without being binding.
The cushion on this shoe is effective but minimal, so unless you're a seasoned minimalist runner, I would be cautious when rapidly increasing mileage. (which you shouldn't be doing anyway) That said, I'm currently putting only about 15 miles a week on trails with the A86 TR and have had no issues with any kind of foot, knee or hip pain. Because my mileage is so low right now, I had another athlete, putting in a lot more mileage, test the shoes as well. Her reaction was about the same as mine, "No joking, these are the most comfortable trail shoes I've ever run in... they feel like a moccasin."
The three directional lugs are effective on dirt, rocks and mud but when it got really muddy I did have some slippage issues. I have my doubts any shoes would have kept me upright through ankle-deep mud. The shoes are incredibly flexible and light and though I could feel the rocks and terrain as I ran, my feet felt well protected.
The sizing was right on for me, but KEEN advises that the shoe runs a half size small. If they are available, I would recommend trying them on before you buy to make sure you get the right fit if you plan on purchasing online. As an added bonus, they come in eight colors!
Overall, I'd have to say, KEEN has produced a solid trail shoe with the A86 TR and it has enthusiastic fans to show for it.

Trail Running at it's Best
" Some shoes may be adequate for dirt paths while they will underperform when taken to more technical heights. "
ICEBUG's- Don't Fear the Winter!- by Jen Hamilton
The dull disappointment of oncoming winter is nothing new to the triathlete. For some reason, my friends seem to train in some sort of fog of denial as they acknowledge in disbelief that cold slap in the face; the moment you first realize that your knickers and windbreaker will no longer hack it on canyon descents. Whining and moaning they retreat to their caves, be it basement trainers or gym treadmills to work out their salvation among the herd of New Years resolutions and college students. While I wholeheartedly admit it is impossible to avoid the indoor training altogether if you intend on staying fit through the winter, I cannot help but feel a slight sense of glee with the first drop of freezing rain. It means I will have virtually all my favorite training grounds to myself for up to five long months. With the proper gear, winter training can be absolute bliss. There's a completely different vibe among the outdoor athletes you occasionally run into in the 'off season'. Cyclists that barely glanced in your direction during the summer, though you've passed them daily for months, now offer a friendly "Hello". Any runners you see on the muddy trails deep in the mountains give a familiar smirk as they pass. The smirk that says you're running with one foot in crazy. The smirk that acknowledges you're one of them, and believe me, there's more of them gallivanting about the trails and ice covered roads than you think. They're an amazing group of people hell-bent on living life in all it's seasons, and it's time you crawled out from your cave and joined them.
In my own search for shoes to run in through the winter, I stumbled upon many solutions, some helpful and some... well, not so much. More than a few people mentioned the practice of putting small screws into the soles of an old pair of shoes. I see two problems with this; one, it's an OLD pair of running shoes (the one's you were supposed to throw out because they're ruining your feet) and two, they always followed up this piece of advice with a funny story about how the screw made it's way through the shoe and embedded itself neatly into the foot of one of their training buddies. Enough said. Yaktrax were another suggestion. A great alternative for icy roads, but people seem to have problems keeping them properly placed and functional in mud and on trails. There were also a few complaints that the coils upset foot placement and made their contact with the road a bit "off". Still, it's better than being stuck indoors. Another suggestion was to only run on plowed roads. This wasn't a bad suggestion except that snow seems to trap the car exhaust even worse than in the summer and can make running in suburbs and the city a bit miserable. Not to mention dodging sliding cars driven by texting 16 year olds. Seemed I was going to have to eek it out in the city and make do like everyone else. Somehow, a random search engine result landed me on the page of a Swedish shoe brand called ICEBUG. After glancing at the shoes, I frantically searched for an English translation. If anyone knows ice, it's Scandinavia and their shoes didn't disappoint.
The men's ATTLA and the women's Pytho2 are made with "BUGrip", the name of Icebug's grip technology. The sole is made of a special rubber compound and has 15-16 integrated steel studs. The design of the studs together with the properties of the rubber compound give these studs a dynamic function. They work independently from each other and are not completely fixed. When weight is applied the studs push in toward the surface of the sole. How far they are pushed in, depends on the pressure exerted by the user and the resistance from the ground. What does this mean for the winter runner? This means excellent traction on ice, snow and mud without compromising on fit and weight.
The first time I took the Women's Pytho2 out for a run, I paired it with some gaiters and put them up against a good muddy trail complete with patches of snow and ice. My husband came along with his Men's ATTLA, gaiter free. Thankfully, since it was 12° F, the generous toe-box allowed me to run with wool socks and molded PU cage still kept the fit secure. Where it's normally recommended to buy running shoes a full size larger, I would recommend going only a half size up in both the ICEBUG models we tested. I slogged in the mud, jumped around in snow and even spent a few minutes in a small stream to test out the water resistant nature of the shoe. While the Pytho's don't claim to be water PROOF, I did find that I could give them all the mud and snow I could find without any problems. In addition, I lasted in the small stream for a good 5 minutes before I began to feel any water seeping through. Another nice feature that I discovered was the fantastic grip it gives on slick tree trunks. My husband commented that he felt like a 'gecko' with his 'grippy feet'. His Men's ATTLA's performed much the same way, but with a bit heavier sole intended for light trail running and hiking, whereas the Pytho2 is intended for more advanced high speed trail running. While I don't recommend them specifically for rocky terrain they do perform about the same as my other running shoes on slick rock. At the risk of losing a stud however, I would recommend against it if possible.
Final Say:
Since my search engine stumbled on the ICEBUG's I have been blissfully enjoying all the winter terrain has to offer. My advice is this; don't fear the winter, just get the right gear and stop breathing that stale gym air. Get out and get muddy, then soak up the look from the check out lady when you stop to get milk on the way home. You'll be smiling from ear to frozen ear. I highly recommend taking the advice of our frozen Swedish brothers and investing in a pair of ICEBUG's for yourself. Whether it's the ICEBUG's or playing Russian roulette with the implanted screws, I'll see you on the trail my friends and remember to give me a smirk as you splatter mud in my direction; I'll know what you mean.

The Domomea is a great little hotel close to the old town in Alghero. The staff were fantastic, really friendly, considerate and helpful. The rooms are... really nicely done and have everything you could want for a comfortable stay. There is a small pool and jacuzzi on the roof which is great for cooling off in the Sardinian heat. The pool is only quite small but was perfect for a pre-breakfast swim or for cooling down as you relax on the rooftop terrace. The area around the hotel is ok, with quite a large supermarket just around the corner. It is quite a long walk to the nicer beaches but there is a free shuttle bus that stops close by. I would highly recommend this hotel to couples and small families visiting this area. napsal host společnosti Hotels.com dne 21.08.2012

hii all
this is a gud phone by nokia but i would like to talk about pros and cons of the product:
1. Trust of nokia
2. battery is cool.
3. phone works superb as a modem
4. 2nd sim swappable outside
1. has S40 platform of symbian so it dont support much java apps
2. camera is only for name even in sunlight its not performing
3. it has 3.5 mm jack but audio output is very low
4. its earpiece volume is also low.
5. speed performance is not satisfactory
6. display quality is very poor.
in a nutshell i would say that this was a gud try by nokia and anybody who is looking for a basic smartphone with in budget of 2.5k its a good deal atleast better than those silly chineese or micromax or lava etc ....
Bought this phone 3 weeks before. I wanted to use the phone for sometime before I review it. I have used phones of almost all types and OS. But I needed a dual sim phone. Since there is no gr8 dual sim smart phone I had to go for a cheaper one. I should say I made the right choice.
Here comes my review
1. Good battery life(2 days when used extensively)
2. Good Signal reception. Many people complained about this but I don't think they are true.
3. PC connectivity. I installed Nokia OVI store. Works amazing with that. Please be aware that the data cable doesn't come with the pack. Either you have to buy one or use bluetooth instead.
4. Timer. I am over delighted on this. It comes with a programmable interval timer. It will be helpful for those who do Yoga/excerises!!! Believe me you will be astonised with this.
5. Home Screen feature - Good to have!!!
6. Bluetooth for data transfer: Works as advertised!!!
7. Expandable Memory: Can be expanded upto 32 GB I think. Since I never intended to use it for listening music I had just put 8 gb memory card. The default earphone that comes with the pack doesn't sound appealing but works decent with better earphones.
1. Camera: Poor quality camera. Its purely a overkill for this mobile. I somehow felt the phone will do better without the camera provided.
2. Power saver Display: If you try to call someone, even b4 they pick up, the display goes off to save power. I usually see the display until the called person picks up the phone. The most irritating part is when you press button to get back the display, the button action is also getting performed. i.e., when you press down or up navigation button, the volume is getting changed in addition to turning on the display. If you don't understand what I am talking here, then most likely you will not bother about this issue.
3. No Multiple alarm: I expected this feature. But.... :-(
4. Minor usability bugs: Since I had used phones of different brands, I could find some minor usability bugs. Hope its not a big issue for Nokia Users.
5. Dual sim Active: When you are in a call using a sim, the other sim is swithced off totally. It doesn't bother me much but please be aware before you go for this type of phone.
Reg Flipkart delivery: This is my first order in Flipkart. I got this delivered in the next day. Inspite of the fact that I also reside at Bangalore, its really good to see your gadget in the next day.
Bottom Line: It's really good dual sim phone to buy. Eventhough I bought the black colored one, I feel the grey one looks much appealing!!!! BTW I checked the price of this mobile is cheaper in Flipkart than many of the leading mobile stores!!!!
For those of u who want to buy this fone:
- Excellent battery life.
- Good Signal reception on both SIMS.
- Good Music Player (use a wired headset or loud speaker) & FM radio & recorder too.
- Ability to take 32 GB cards too.
- EDGE/GPRS works very well for Opera Mini & FB app, though it is supported by the SIM1 only.
- Active home screen is useful.
- Both earpiece & loudspeaker work at the same time (inconvenient if u work in a quiet place & very convenient if u work in a noisy place).
- When u receive/make a call on SIM1, then SIM2 is turned off & u cannot receive/make any calls/SMS on SIM2 till you have finished your call on SIM1.
- Sound quality of music played over Bluetooth stereo headsets is bad (sounds like 16 kbps mono).
- No Equalizer presets.
- No USB charging even though it has a micro USB port.
Overall, I am very satisfied with it, though I didn't expect a revolutionary fone at just INR 2690/-(Approx. 60 USD).
Really it's nice and it is performig well.Two sim's running parllel.But there is no special button to operate second sim.

car crash one leg amputated. what would you rather do, fly MEL-DXB-ATH-BEG and back with EK in december(fly through DXB on Christmas day) and stay for a month or fly that route next June and stay for two months? i'm asking u that because i have those two options and i dont know which one to choose! i would love to go through DXB for Christmas day but a month will pass by very fast, but i wont have to wait almost a year...but i would love to be in Europe for two months... i was also thinking if i could do MEL-SYD with QF and then SYD-SIN with SQ's A380!!! but that would be next year probably and then do SIN-DXB-ATH-BEG with EK and OA and then back BEG-ATH-DXB-MEL with EK and OA...i would really like to fly the A380(wouldn't anyone) and expirience SQ. i could fly an Emirates A380 but they wont recieve it by June and / or August next year... edit: actually going in June 2008, 29th of June. And returning on 29th or 30th August...flying thesame route with probably the same equipment...but if EK puts their 77L's on services to Australia it could happen for me to fly on the 77L...if so i would do something like MEL-DXB(77L) DXB-ATH(77W) then BEG and back to ATH on the 734...ATH-DXB(77W) DXB-SIN-MEL(773) but i would rather fly on the A345 then the 77L because i've been on every type of the 777 except the 77L and i've never been on the A340 series....hmhmhm....best would be MEL-DXB 345 DXB-ATH 77W ATH-BEG-ATH 734 ATH-DXB 77W DXB-SIN-MEL 773...and i'm also going then because all of our Serbian friends that have moved abroad are visiting then(Friends from Switzerland, Germany, France) so i would see all of them then... Post Edited (07-31-07 16:03) Rock the Casbah
fly MEL-DXB-ATH-BEG and back with EK in december cause' a month is good enough and flying on Xmas is a nice treat (I flew across canada from YYT to YVR on Canada Day and I am currently in YVR staying for a month and the way back i'm stopping at Niagra Falls, Canada for 5 days) Would you rather fly first class Virgin America from JFK to Los Angeles, or fly MAXjet (aircraft is all buisness class) from JFK to London Stansed? ------------------------------ Trevor de Verteuil Graphic Design Student / Admin Member
737-400 =) If you were CEO of an airline would you have a low-cost airline in Australia that flys 100 A320 aircraft, 56 A319 aircraft, and 12 A318 aircraft, or would you set up a major island hopper with 78 Q400s and 10 CRJ-700s in the Caribbean? ------------------------------ Trevor de Verteuil Graphic Design Student / Admin Member
Xbox 360 because i have previous nintendo and playstation models and i do not own the Xbox nor the Xbox 360.... what would you rather do, fly Hamburg NY JFK with Emirates on the A345(now they use the A345 via HAM and 77W non-stop i think i read that somewhere...) or fly LHR-JFK on BA ? btw Singapore or Bangkok? i would go for Singapore but i've been to both but i just find Singapore safer because of those New Year bombings in Bangkok....

20 years later, Medical Leave Act helping workers, families
Nearly 38 weeks into her pregnancy, Rebecca Hunter delivered little Chloe and Sean, a set of healthy fraternal twins. And for the next 12 weeks, she spent time feeding, diapering, nurturing and snuggling the babies and their older brother, then age 2, at their Herriman home during a maternity leave.
On Wednesday morning, Hunter went back to work at MountainStar Healthcare.
"I left the house with one of the babies crying," Hunter, 36, said. "Fortunately, my baby-sitter texted me a picture of the baby smiling shortly after I got to the office. I'm sure I'll be hanging onto those pictures every day."
While she deals with the tough transition of returning to the office, Hunter said she's grateful she had a job to go back to, something she credits to the Family Medical Leave Act, or FMLA.
"I think it would have been very difficult emotionally and physically not to have had those 12 weeks," Hunter said. "I definitely appreciate the bonding time and I think it's really needed."
Twenty years ago this week, President Bill Clinton signed FMLA into law. Since then, millions of workers such as Hunter have taken a temporary leave to enjoy a newborn, heal from an injury or care for an aging parent without the threat of losing a job.
What many workers take for granted today was revolutionary at the time.
"I remember basically being very new in human resources and thinking, 'I get this,'" said Deborah Stone of Evolutionary HR, a human resources consulting company.
At its core, FMLA allows workers to take an extended leave without pay but with benefits — up to 12 weeks — for a medical reason, including the birth or adoption of a child, the care of a family member or a personal health condition. The bill only applies to companies with 50 or more employees. To qualify, employees need to have worked at the business for at least a year.
"What FMLA does best is it gives people who are employed security, so they can both keep their health insurance intact and have a job to come back to," Stone said. Continued...
For Anne Robertson, that meant peace of mind during two FMLA maternity leaves, one for her son, Ryker, who's now 3, and another for daughter Katie a year-and-a-half ago. Robertson, 31, who lives in Cottonwood Heights and works at Intermountain Health Care, admits that in some ways, she took the job and insurance guarantees for granted.
"FMLA wasn't really on my radar," Robertson said. "It made it so I enjoyed that three months with my son. It made it so I didn't even think about work. That definitely was very nice to have."
That security has benefits for both employees and employers, according to a recent Department of Labor survey. The study shows that 91 percent of employers report that complying with the law has had little or no effect on employee absenteeism, turnover or morale. And with 90 percent of workers who use FMLA returning to work after a leave, the report notes that there's little risk to businesses.
While most say FMLA is the right thing to do for workers and their families, the law does present challenges. Jeanine Wilson, director of the Utah Human Resources State Council, or SHRM, says the law has been difficult to execute.
"I don't think anybody realized it would become as onerous as it has been to administer," Wilson said. "From an HR viewpoint, it was one of the most onerous pieces of legislation ever passed."
Stone agrees.
"Employees love it; employers struggle with it," she said.
Stone said one complicating factor is that those who qualify for FMLA may also be covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and if it's an injury that occurred on the job, the person may also have a workers' compensation claim. Each has its own set of requirements and paperwork, and Stone said human resource professionals often affectionately refer to the overlapping web of laws as the "Bermuda Triangle."
Still, Wilson contends the end product is worth the headache.
"As an employee, I think it was overdue," Wilson said. "We needed a way to protect workers and this [job protection] provides one less piece of stress during a health crisis. Prior to FMLA, we saw people lose their jobs because of a sick child and that's not right." Continued...
Wilson predicts that family-friendly business practices and legislation, such as lowering the 50-employee requirement of FMLA and promoting flexible work hours, will continue.
"The FMLA will continue to be tweaked, depending on the feeling in Washington," she said.
According to HR.BLR.com, an online resource for human resource managers, recent changes include expanding leave for employees who are caring for a military spouse, parent, son or daughter, as well as revised eligibility requirements for airline flight crew employees, such as pilots and flight attendants. Local jurisdictions are also getting in on the act, with states such as Washington's paid family leave law taking effect in 2015 and cities such as Philadelphia requiring companies that do business with the city to provide paid leave to their full-time employees.
All of this is good for workers such as new mom Hunter. She contrasts her experience with a neighbor who works for a very small company and does not qualify for FMLA.
"It's definitely been an advantage for me personally," Hunter said. "As a mother, it's been great."

HARTFORD >> Alcoa-Howmet and Torrington Downtown Partners, LLC were honored at the Celebrate CT! Awards Ceremony held on Wednesday, Nov. 28 at the Bushnell in Hartford and hosted by CERC (Connecticut Economic Resource Center). They represented Northwest CT as two companies having a significant positive impact on economic development in the NW CT region. NW CT includes the eleven towns in the Litchfield Hills Council of Elected Officials (LHCEO) and the nine towns in the Northwest CT Council of Governments (NWCCOG).
Alcoa-Howmet: The Alcoa Power and Propulsion machining facility in Winsted employs 185 people and is a global supplier of precision-machined turbine airfoils to jet engine builders and industrial gas turbine manufacturers. The participation of Alcoa workers and managers in ACTION (Alcoan's Coming Together in Our Neighborhoods) events and the philanthropy of the Alcoa Foundation combine to support NW CT communities and organizations. Touching many people in worthwhile organizations during 2012, Alcoa's Winsted employees participated in 16 different company ACTION events that benefitted 16 organizations, including their annual involvement in the Day of Caring. The business is a corporate sponsor of the Torrington Chapter of United Way.
Torrington Downtown Partners: Steven Roth, Steven Temkin and David Bender formed the Torrington Downtown Partners LLC to manage the redevelopment of multiple properties in downtown Torrington. They purchased 9 foreclosed downtown buildings in 2010 and have invested over 2 million dollars resulting in eight 2nd floor renovated residential units and leases with twelve new street level businesses. The Partners offered the community a stake in their partnership and over 175 people paid $100 to join. The Partners have generously contributed to most of the downtown events and partnered in the very successful Art Space initiative. They also offered two of their buildings for murals to be installed as part of the City Canvas public arts initiative.
The NW CT Economic Development Corporation has been working with the Litchfield Hills Council of Elected Officials, NW CT Council of Governments and the NW CT Chamber of Commerce to create a new and expanded CEDS for the twenty cities and towns in NW CT. Mark Waterhouse and Leslie Cosgrove of Garnet Consulting have served as the consultants/guides for this process which began in November 2011. The NW CT Regional Planning Collaborative has been working with eight smaller towns in the region to help create more vibrant village centers and to provide affordable workforce housing opportunities for younger residents. They recently launched a new web site (secretcorner.org) to guide visitors. Workforce Development has taken center stage with NW CT Community College, the NW CT Chamber of Commerce, the NW Regional Workforce Investment Board, CT Department of Labor and a new NW CT Manufacturing Coalition (headed by Lew Chappel of BD) leading efforts to provide skilled workers for regional manufacturers. Lauren Smith (NW CT Chamber) has been working with regional educators, guidance counselors and business leaders to help connect the business world with local schools through School to Career Pathways. Torrington has had a lot of activity with the continuation of the highly successful Main Street Marketplace throughout the summer and the extensive revitalization of numerous storefronts in the downtown area by the Torrington Downtown Partners. A new children's museum on Main Street will add to the vibrancy of downtown Torrington complimenting the Warner Theatre's numerous performing arts events.
More than 150 economic development and business professionals from around the state attended CELEBRATE CT! to recognize top companies, projects, programs, organizations and individuals for their contribution to the state's economy – such as consistent or growing employment levels, role in changing the character of its community or civic engagement, strong public/private collaboration to encourage new investment, or leadership resulting in regional growth or improvements.
Based in Rocky Hill, the Connecticut Economic Resource Center, Inc. is a nonprofit corporation and public-private partnership that provides objective research, marketing and economic development resources to support making Connecticut a more competitive business environment.

It's award season at Fantasy League and this week we're announcing our 2012/13 Team of the Season - how many of your players made it?
Belgian powerhouse Romelu Lukaku scored nine points from the final weekend of the Premier League season following a thrilling 5-5 draw with Manchester United. The on-loan West Brom striker came off the bench and led his side to an amazing comeback.
Sir Alex Ferguson leads out Manchester United for the final time on Sunday, and Arsenal are in the driving seat in the race for fourth place going into the final day of the season.
The last day of the season is here and it's a time of mixed emotions for Fantasy League mangers. To mark the end of the campaign, the Insider Eye has gazed into the not-too-distant future once again and saw four players do the business this weekend.
Spanish schemer Santi Cazorla plundered eight points last night as Arsenal condemned Wigan to the Championship. The midfield marvel set up all four Gunners goals.
Once again we're giving you unrestricted access to the clandestine world of the Pro Manager. Each week we'll be putting a different league under the spotlight.
Skilful striker Daniel Sturridge was the top scoring player at the weekend with nine points after bagging a stylish hat-trick for Liverpool against Fulham. The England international calmly struck three past the Cottagers.
Frank Lampard is in line to start for Chelsea against Aston Villa, while Yaya Toure and David Silva could both return to the Manchester City line-up for Saturday's FA Cup final.
It's FA Cup Final weekend, and this year sees a special Fantasy League association, with manager of 'Mediocre Medal Winners', David Webb, singing the National Anthem and Abide with Me at Wembley.
A few weeks ago we looked at strikers who could do a job for your fantasy football team in the wake of Luis Suarez's season ending suspension. Now, following the news that Michu will spend the rest of the campaign on the sidelines, it's time to use your last transfer on a midfielder.
Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor was the top scoring player from the midweek matches with five points. The Togo international bagged a goal and an assist.

With kitchen fires on the rise, local Florida insurance agency offers residents tips on how to avoid home insurance claims.
Largo, FL (PRWEB) December 04, 2012
The agents at Patrons Insurance, Inc., a Florida insurance agency, urge the Florida community to be safe in their kitchens, in light of recent statistics on kitchen fires. The holidays are right around the corner! It's safe to say that many homeowners will be spending a large portion of their time in the kitchen around Thanksgiving and throughout December.
"Cooking was involved in an estimated 154,000 home structure fires that were reported to U.S. fire departments. The reported fires caused 410 deaths, 5,310 injuries and $993 million in direct property damage," according to recent stats by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). To avoid these types of issues, it is important that all home cooks, chefs and bakers in Florida are aware of a few kitchen safety tips. Fortunately, Patrons Insurance, Inc. is here to provide the community with some:
Patrons Insurance Agency, Inc. is committed to making sure the Florida community is safe, no matter what time of year it is.

The agency also encourages the community to check in on their Florida home insurance policy. In the event that there is a mishap in the kitchen, the proper coverage will serve as much needed financial back-up.
The agency hopes that residents take these tips into consideration. The last thing it wants is for locals to file home insurance claims this holiday season.

With her glossy dark hair, exotic outfit and ruby-red pouting lips, she's every inch the classic pin-up... except, that is, for that greenish-blue skin. And yet her image was every bit as popular, in its day, as those of the latest Hollywood starlets.
She is the "Chinese Girl," by Vladimir Tretchikoff, the Russian-born South African who became king of the kitsch portrait. In the 1950s and '60s, no self-respecting suburban home was fit to be seen without a print of her on the living room wall.
At one point, the picture was reputed to be the most reproduced image in the world; on Wednesday, the original sold for almost $1.5 million (£982,050) at Bonhams auction house in London, far outstripping pre-sale estimates of $750,000.
Speaking to CNN before the auction, Giles Peppiatt, director of South African art Bonhams said that the picture's kitschy popular appeal "isn't necessarily a bad thing."
"It is an extraordinary image... and it certainly seems to have caught everyone's eye. It is, I suppose, the 'Mona Lisa' of kitsch, but it is a great work of art as well."
Tretchikoff's biographer, Boris Gorelik, says the picture was "one of the most important pop culture icons" of the mid-20th century; Peppiatt agrees, "the word iconic is so often-used and almost debased now, but this really is an iconic image."
The painter himself wrote that "my heart and soul went into this painting," and whatever the secret, it was certainly a success.
"Millions of people -- perhaps your parents or grandparents -- bought a lithograph of the painting, hung it on their wall and admired it for years, if not decades," wrote Gorelik. "Maybe you even grew up looking at it."
While cheap copies of the picture flooded the globe, the original disappeared from view: Taken to the U.S. by Tretchikoff for a hugely successful tour in the 1950s, it was bought by a young fan, and hung in the family home, a world away from the art scene's latest fads and fashions.
The identity of the model for "Chinese Girl" was a mystery for decades, too. After she was eventually identified three years ago, CNN visited Monika Pon at home in Johannesburg. Now in her 70s, she explained how, as a teenager, she came to pose for the painting.

Interlock Door Entry System
- antitree
- joshshua
Interlock needs an easy way to give members access to the space. It is important however, to maintain the ability to easily remove access punitively or as members choose to leave the group. The ability to keep track of who enters and leaves the space is not only helpful for security, but also could be used creatively.
Function Testing - Get a simple electronic lock system working:
- Electronic lock or electric strike
- Need to know the type and size of door/frame we are working with
- PDF How To Install Electric Strike
- Computer control of the strike
- Homemade control through serial port w/relay (cheaper, easier to implement than Arduino)
- Arduino
- Probably overkill for this system
- Authentication system
- RFID/Swipe Card/Key Fob
- Server to manage ACLS (LDAP server? See Infrastructure#Network)
- Yubikey
- iButtons - steel chip that requires a contact to transfer
- Audit logging
Second Factor - Additional authentication for extra security:
- Second factor authentication system (pin pad, touch screen pin pad)
Disaster Planning - make sure the system functions appropriately during problems
- Power Outage: Outbound - make sure people inside are not locked in
- Power Outage: Inbound - make sure people outside can't get in during an outage
- Backup: Make sure a physical key is able to access the doors in case the system has a problem
Tweaks and Geeks - Fun non critical additions:
- Twitter bot
Tweet hourly updates on who is in the space - Tweet when a person enters the space
- IRC bot
- Regular updates on who is in the space
- Expand security to other items
- KegBot security
- Snacks and vending machine
- Multiple areas within the space
- Electric Strike (Fail Secure)

3 superstars don't equal NBA title

While the two-time MVP complained after he left the Cleveland Cavaliers last July 8 that he didn't have enough talent around him to achieve that goal, the Dallas Mavericks pulled off that feat with a 105-95 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 6 to capture the title.

Curtis to play in U.S. Open qualifier Monday
Stow resident Ben Curtis has played in every U.S. Open since 2004. But his participation in this year's event June 16-19 at Congressional Country Club depends on how he fares in Monday's 36-hole qualifier at Brookside Country Club and The Lakes in Columbus.
Shooting 69 in Saturday's third round of the Memorial Tournament, Curtis didn't plan to get in some holes at either qualifying course over the weekend.
