Summer holidays in Spain
Spending the summer in Spain is an experience you have to live at least once in a lifetime. You've probably got time off and plenty of time to visit places, and you probably want to make plans and get the most out of those days. What's more, thanks to the nice weather, you're almost sure to enjoy a dip in one of the best beaches in the world. For example, would you like to enjoy the atmosphere on the Costa del Sol, go diving on the Costa Brava, discover our fishing villages or hire a boat? And if you love staying active you can try all kinds of water sports. As well as beaches, in Spain there are many options to suit all tastes and pockets. There are popular festivities in summer, like the famous San Fermín or La Tomatina tomato festival. But if you prefer to dance, there are also many world-renowned festivals. And of course, if you love clubbing you shouldn't miss going out at night in Ibiza. At lunchtime you can try a refreshing dish such as our cold soup – gazpacho. And you can make the most of the bars and restaurants that have outdoor terraces. Just click on the image or the text that you want in order to find more information about each one of these plans.

Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita calls on redistricting reformers to demand action
February 17, 2010
With accelerated deadlines approaching, Secretary Rokita mobilizes grassroots effort to seek action by the Indiana House
(Indianapolis) – Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita is calling on Hoosiers who support redistricting reform to demand action by the Indiana House on redistricting reform legislation. Secretary Rokita called on supporters of his "Rethinking Redistricting" initiative to demand that Senate Bill 80 be moved to the House floor for a vote.
"Speaker Bauer has moved the deadline for committee hearings, which means that the time for action is now," said Secretary Rokita. "Hoosier voters and taxpayers cannot wait another 10 years for redistricting reform."
Indiana House Speaker Pat Bauer has moved up the deadline for committee hearings from March 3 to February 22. The change in deadline means that the House Committee on Rules and Legislative Procedures needs to act on Senate Bill 80 by February 22. The House Committee must act in order to send the bill to the House floor for a vote.
Senate Bill 80 would require the new legislative maps to respect county and township lines, preserve traditional neighborhoods and communities of interest, protect minority voting rights and create simple, compact districts. Senate Bill 80 received bipartisan support in the Indiana Senate, and passed with a vote of 47-1.
When Senate Bill 80 moved to the House, Speaker Bauer referred the bill to the House Committee on Rules and Legislative Procedures where it has yet to be scheduled for a hearing. Previously in this session, Republicans in the House introduced House Bill 1013, which called for redistricting reform. This bill did not move forward, as it was assigned by Speaker Bauer to the House Committee on Rules and Legislative Procedures and never received a hearing.
"Speaker Bauer has called redistricting reform legislation a 'distraction,' said Secretary Rokita. "I have asked redistricting reform supporters to contact Speaker Bauer, and tell him that this issue is important, and that the concerns of Hoosier voters and taxpayers are hardly a distraction."
Secretary Rokita sent an action alert email to "Rethinking Redistricting" supporters this morning, calling on them to contact Speaker Bauer about Senate Bill 80.

MOSCOW (AP) — A Moscow court has put Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny under house arrest, forbidding him from using the Internet or communicating with anyone outside his family.
The house arrest is for two months but can be extended.
Navalny was sentenced to seven days in prison on Monday for participating in an anti-government protest and was taken to court on Friday from the detention center.
He is a leading opposition figure and anti-corruption crusader. Navalny and his supporters published a damning report in January, documenting corruption in the preparations for the Sochi Olympics.
His spokeswoman Anna Veduta said in a Twitter post that Navalny is barred from writing, texting, posting messages on social networks or using the Internet. He is allowed to communicate only with his family. He can receive visitors, Veduta said, but not speak to them.
In July last year, Navalny was found guilty of fraud and sentenced to five years in prison. A day later, however, he was released on a suspended sentence following mass street protests in Moscow.
Navalny spearheaded massive anti-government protests in 2011 and 2012 and finished second in last year's Moscow mayoral race with a third of the vote. The campaigner has faced numerous probes, which he attributes to his investigations shedding light on wide-spread corruption in the Russian ruling elite.

Why? What is wrong with making him coach for his job? Giving an extension tells him (and us) that things are just fine as they are now and have been the last four years.
I already said why: to avoid a lame duck situation. A lame-duck coach is one who does not have a vote of confidence from upper management--such as a contract that extends past the end of the season--and therefore loses authority.
On another note: I am so uncomfortable about the love the Pens locker room apparently expresses towards DB. That ain't right. Respect yes, love no. To me it suggests he's not feeding them enough of what they don't like, but is good for them.
Are coaches so girly and emotional they need to be held in the GM's arms and assured everything's OK? What happened to doing your job, finishing your contract, and getting a new one. I don't get that kind of thinking. I hope he's on a short leash anyway, but does it really matter. We'll have a good reg. season again, and possibly get disappointed in the playoffs. Expectations for me are so-so.

The search for impact players could have yielded players of greater intrigue and fame this week. Instead, the Dolphins took their chances on a bunch of lesser-known types on the first day of the annual NFL Draft on Saturday as coach Jimmy Johnson made two more trades.
Still, Johnson walked away from the opening day of the draft feeling extremely confident about his catch of five players.
``I would be shocked if any one of these five players we took today doesn't contribute to our team this year,'' Johnson said.
He has been in desperate search of impact players and rated three of the five players as possible first-round picks.
That group was led by running back John Avery of Mississippi, who was boldly compared to Barry Sanders by Ole Miss coach Tommy Tuberville. The 5-foot-9 Avery ran a 4.38-second 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine and has superb quickness. Johnson and offensive coordinator Kippy Brown said Avery will compete with Karim Abdul-Jabbar and Lawrence Phillips immediately for playing time.
``We're going to put him right in the mix with the others,'' Brown said.
In the second round, the Dolphins selected cornerback Patrick Surtain of Southern Mississippi and defensive end Kenny Mixon of Louisiana State. Johnson said that the Dolphins considered both, along with Florida wide receiver Jacquez Green, at the time they took Avery. In the third round, the Dolphins took linebacker Brad Jackson of Cincinnati and wide receiver Larry Shannon of East Carolina.
Those five picks, which will be joined by six more today, came after two trades Saturday and three this week.
They also came after ignoring the chance to take talented-but-troubled wide receiver Randy Moss or even play safe with talented defensive lineman Vonnie Holliday with the No. 19 pick. It also came after deciding not to ante up for free-agent defensive lineman Chester McGlockton.
The Dolphins didn't know that at the time they traded, but it didn't matter.
``If we had been at 19, we would not have selected a player there, we would have traded out of that spot,'' Johnson said.
He said Moss and Holliday didn't fit the Dolphins' version of good value at that point _ Moss because of a lot of off-field problems and talent, Holliday because he was more of a tackle than an end.
Rather, Johnson did two of his favorite things. He traded down, doing so before the first pick was made, and then went after speed.
The Dolphins opened the draft an hour early by trading from No. 19 to No. 29 with Green Bay, receiving the No. 60 pick. They then took the No. 60 pick and traded it to Detroit for picks 79, 143 (fifth round) and 172 (sixth). On Thursday, the Dolphins traded their No. 1 pick in 2000 for Carolina's second-round pick, No. 43. That was the pick used for Surtain.
Avery is the player the Dolphins coveted most because he can produce the most radical change. During his two years and 20 games at Mississippi, Avery had 13 rushes of 20 yards or longer. During two years and 33 games since Johnson took over as coach, the Dolphins have eight runs of 40 yards or longer.
Johnson said he had hoped to get Avery in the second round. But as the draft approached, he said it was more and more likely that Avery would be snatched up. Based on the success last year of Warrick Dunn in Tampa Bay, that was probably true.
``I was talking with [Kansas City coach) Marty Schottenheimer and he said, `We really wanted him at 27,' '' Johnson said. Instead, the Chiefs took offensive lineman Victor Riley in a need-based pick.
Though Avery will compete for time right away, Johnson said Avery wouldn't have to start to make an impact.
``I look at our first-round pick contributing but not necessarily starting,'' Johnson said. ``I think that Avery can put the ball in the end zone.''
That would be from long distance. The Dolphins got plenty of short touchdown runs from Karim Abdul-Jabbar, who scored 15 times last season.
Abdul-Jabbar's longest run last season was 22 yards. The Dolphins' longest run of the season was a 71-yarder by Jerris McPhail on a draw play in a passing situation against Chicago. The play was more of a mistake by the Bears than a well-executed piece of offense.
Though Avery is only 5 feet 9, 184 pounds, Brown said that his ability to play against the likes of Tennessee, LSU, Auburn and Alabama showed that he can be an every-down back.
Surtain was a player that the Dolphins couldn't resist because of his rank on their draft board. The Dolphins have a bevy of solid-but-unspectacular cornerbacks at this point.
``At that point, we had some other needs, but Surtain ranked so high among the players we had left that we just couldn't resist,'' Johnson said. Surtain had 12 interceptions combined over the past two seasons. He will compete with Sam Madison and Terrell Buckley for a starting position.
In Mixon, the Dolphins addressed their most obvious need of the offseason. The team had pursued free-agent defensive linemen John Randle, Sean Gilbert and McGlockton this offseason. Mixon will go into the rotation at end.
That is as long as Mixon can avoid the troubles with marijuana he had during his first three seasons at LSU. He tested positive at least three times, being kicked off the team after three games as a junior.
Mixon said he straightened himself out after that, got academically eligible and then paid his way through school his senior season. He produced eight sacks last season and showed the leverage against the run that the Dolphins desperately need at left end.
``He's really good with his hands and holds up the way we need him to,'' defensive line coach Cary Godette said. Johnson said that the Dolphins talked to numerous members of the LSU coaching and training staffs and every person vouched for Mixon's changed character.
Jackson is a typical Johnson linebacker, an undersized (6-0, 230) tackling dynamo. He had 168 tackles last season with Cincinnati, played for the basketball team and showed the enthusiasm for the game that Johnson loves.
``We cross-checked him with all of our coaches and everybody loved the way he plays,'' Johnson said.
Defensive coordinator George Hill said Jackson had the best pass coverage skills of any linebacker he rated in this year's draft class.
Shannon was limited in his senior year by injuries to his ankles and a stress fracture in his leg. As a junior, Shannon led the nation with an average of 21.4 yards per catch.
Moreover, Shannon is 6-4, 210 pounds and runs the 40 in 4.5 seconds. Johnson referred to Shannon as a physical phenom. He said that many of the Dolphins assistant coaches looked at Shannon again this week and wanted to move him even higher on the draft board than the third round. Johnson resisted.

Dec. 3 (UPI) -- A New York City rabbi who also happens to be a seventh-degree black belt is teaching from the lessons of karate instead of the Torah to help combat problems that NYC Jews are having because of the "knockout game."
At least eight Jews have been victimized by kids playing the knockout game in Brooklyn over the last two months.
"If Jewish kids started fighting back, they wouldn't get picked on so much," said Rabbi Gary Moskowitz. "I'm just trying to encourage the Jewish community to do that."
Moskowitz, 56, took his fair share of beatings while growing up in the Soundview section of the Bronx in the 1960s. "I wore a yarmulke, and I was a target," he said. "I was once dragged up six stories to a rooftop by a gang . . . They held me over the ledge."
At the age of 14, he went to a Jewish Defense League-sponsored summer camp and learned karate. "I came back, and I was able to do 400 push-ups," he said.
Upon his return, Moskowitz confronted a bully who had beaten him up and peed on his yarmulke. "He threw a punch, and it came at me in slow motion. I . . . brought him down," he said. "I could have hit him, but I didn't. I didn't have to. It was like angels were singing."
Before becoming an Orthodox rabbi, Moskowitz was a police officer and he earned the nickname of "Rambowitz" because of his ferocity.

The amount of information generated by organizations is growing at a phenomenal rate. With factors such as increased legislation and penalties, many organizations want to leverage their information assets, both physical and digital, to their full advantage by increasing speed of access, improving classification schemes, and assuring information quality and trustworthiness. To do so, organizations are adopting toolsets such as Electronic Document and Records Management (EDRM) applications, Microsoft SharePoint, and other document management tools for creating a central trusted repository, which is a key goal of records managers.
There are many roadblocks to attaining that goal, such as executive sponsorship and enforcement, organizational alignment, confusion over toolsets, lack of a consistent and user-relevant classification scheme, poor usability, and low user adoption. Most organizations have islands of EDRM systems in various states of deployment that are generally not delivering the value they promised. That's why having a good planning and deployment strategy in place is crucial.
Planning your Records Management Solution
Planning a records management solution is a daunting task. To be successful, you need a multidiscipline team because designing the system requires multiple skills and diverse knowledge (e.g., communications, governance, information architecture, records management, data migration, security, EDRM system architecture). A good place to start the planning process is to read ISO 15489 and the DIRKs methodology. (See the Related Resources Box.) Here are some key points that you need to consider when planning your EDRM rollout:
- Governance—You need an executive sponsor to drive your records management program across the organizations.
- Team—You need to work with a multidiscipline team as discussed earlier.
- Plan—You must have a plan that will deliver the expected value for the organization.
- User adoption program—You must create a program that encourages and measures user uptake, provides education and mentoring, and enforces and enforces best practices (performance reviews).
- Data policy—You must define, communicate, and enforce the data policy for records. People must understand their roles and responsibilities.
- Inventory of data repositories—You need to conduct an inventory of what you have, the state it's in (age, usefulness), and location. The inventory might include file shares, public folders, microfiche, third-party records storage warehouse, and departmental EDRM systems to name a few.
Records Center 2007 Overview
Although Microsoft has released SharePoint 2010, there is merit in covering SharePoint 2007 technologies because many organizations won't upgrade for another year or so. SharePoint 2007 has a Site Template called Records Center. It has functionality such as Holds, which lets you place holds on retention schedules, and Auditing, which logs events and operations against the record. It also contains some specialized libraries and content type routing configuration that allows you to route records by content type.
For example, you could create a content type called Contracts and a library for the content type. You would then create a routing rule in Records Center that would route the content type to the Contracts library. You could then apply Information Management policy (i.e., how to handle records) to the library. The final step in the process is to configure the farm to be aware of the Records Center by adding the link to the Records Center Web Service (e.g., http://server_name/_vti_bin/officialfile.asmx). To do so, select External Service Connections and enter the URL to your records center web service in the Connect to a Records Repository field. Upon completion, the option to route records within document libraries will now appear in the item's edit/context menu as Figure 1 shows. Note that any work you do should be done in a sandbox environment, which is usually a virtual machine (VM) running on your laptop.
Create a Records Center
This section outlines the basic process for creating a Records Center in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007. For more detailed information, see the Microsoft TechNet article "Create a site collection (Office SharePoint Server)". To create a Records Center, follow these steps:
- Login as Administrator and open Central Administration. Select Application Management.
- Enter a name for the application, SQL credentials, and authentication method that suits your environment). Using Quotas is also a best practice, but isn't a requirement for a sandbox environment. Note that isolating Records Center with its own site and application will help simplify operations.
- Under Site Collection, select create a Site Collection. Enter a name, description, and URL, then select the Records Center template. (Chose a URL and port number that fits with your environment. Also, associate your Site Collection with the application you created in the prior step).
- Select Application Management and click External Service Connections. Enter the URL to your Records Center Web Service in the Connect to a Records Repository field (e.g., http://server_name/_vti_bin/officialfile.asmx). Note that in SharePoint 2007 you can specify only one connection per farm.
- Open your Records Center site in the browser and click Site Settings. Create a content type called Contracts, and accept the default settings. Click Site Settings, select Create, and create a document library called Contracts. Complete the following tasks:
- Configure the Contracts document library to accept multiple content types. Configure the Contracts document library to use the Contracts content type you created in the previous step.
- Create a routing rule called Contracts that directs the Contracts content type to the Contracts document library by specifying the name of the library as the destination.
You now have a functional Records Center site. If desired, you can add the Records Site to your Portals navigation by editing the Portals navigation menu and adding a tab for the new Records Center site.
Records Center 2010 Overview
In SharePoint 2010, the Records Center has a slick new UI and some additional features that improve usability and management. For those who evaluated SharePoint 2007 and held off, SharePoint 2010 offers compelling new features and enhancements. Here is an overview of some of the new functionality.
In-place records management. A new industry trend is the idea of in-place records management. Specifically, instead of a central repository of documents that requires a routing service or manual movement of files, records are managed where they are. The documents stay in the current location and are classified as business records. This approach avoids the laborious migrations associated with EDRM projects.
Multistage retention. Retention policies can have multiple stages, allowing you to specify the entire document lifecycle as one policy (e.g., review Contracts every year, and delete after seven years).
Folders. Another interesting note is the new role of folders in SharePoint 2010. In SharePoint 2007, folders were the recommended option for grouping files by security access or to be avoided. With SharePoint 2010, folders can act as true parents to any child objects below it. Now, metadata is set at the folder level so that the child objects can inherit that information.
Document sets. Document sets enable users to collaborate on related documents without having to create a new document library or site. Their purpose is to help organize documents and enable collaboration on documents tagged with similar metadata.
Persistent document IDs. The document ID provides absolute reference to objects, regardless of filename changes or document moves.
Content organizer. The routing rules from SharePoint 2007 have been replaced by the content organizer, a new SharePoint feature available in all document libraries. The content organizer routes documents to the right folder based on content types and any other metadata that you require.
Compliance details. This is a new feature that adds a Compliance Details option to the context menu. It allows users to check out the relevant settings that have been applied to a specific business record. The feature also enables administrators to make sure that specific documents are inheriting the right policies and retention settings.
Submit a record. This is a basic feature that adds some simple usability to the site.

Creating a Records Center in SharePoint 2010
- The following steps provide the basic outline for creating a Records Center in SharePoint 2010. To find more in depth information, see the TechNet article "Create a site collection (Office SharePoint Server)".
- Log in as Administrator and open Central Administration. Select Application Management.
- Open the Create Site Collection page. In the Web Application section, if the web application in which you want to create the site collection isn't selected, on the Web Application menu click Change Web Application, then click the web application in which you want to create the site collection. TechNet has a detailed article about this process, "Create a site collection (SharePoint Server 2010)".
- As with SharePoint 2007, create a web application for Records Center. Chose a name, SQL credentials, and an authentication method that suits your environment.
- On the Create Site Collection page, in the Web Application section, if the web application in which you want to create the site collection isn't selected, on the Web Application menu, click Change Web Application, and click the web application in which you want to create the site collection.
- In the Title and Description section, type the title and description for the site collection. In the Web Site Address section, select the path to use for your URL (e.g., a wildcard inclusion path such as /sites/, or the root directory). In the Template Selection section Select Records Center from the list. Click OK.
Note that SharePoint 2010 enables administrators to create multiple connections to Record Centers per farm, and to specify more detailed parameters about the behavior of those connections. Another enhancement is the ability to move an item to the Records Center, or to move an item, but leave a link in the original location.
Next you need to create content organization rules. You add rules by following these steps:
- Select Site Settings, Site Administration, Content Organizer Rules. Then select New to open the New Rule page.
- Create a rule called Contacts. Page down and select the Target Location. Browse to a Library in your site. Make sure that whatever content type you choose is activated in the target library, or you'll receive an error that the destination doesn't have the content enabled.
It's important to note that the source and destination libraries (i.e., document libraries configured for inplace records mgmt) will require the same content types to used. For example, if you have a Contracts Form content type in your source library, you will also need one in your destination library.
In Place Records Management
To take advantage of In Place Records management, you must first activate the feature for the site collection, as Figure 2 shows. If you have a site collection configured in your sandbox environment, go to Site Actions and activate the feature. Otherwise, create a site collection (e.g., Team Collaboration), then activate it.
If you want items within the libraries to be automatically flagged as records (e.g., a Contracts library), choose the library in your site that you want to enable to support in place records management, and click Library Settings. Enable Automatic Declaration. Now, all documents added to the library are automatically flagged as records. Note that after you activate the feature and configure the library, a new button, Declare Records, appears in the Libraries ribbon. You can read more in the TechNet articles "Records management overview (SharePoint Server 2010)" and "Designing for in-place records management".
Third-Party EDRM
Butler Group released a review of the top records management vendors and their products in late 2008. EMC Documentum, IBM FileNet, and OpenText were the notable top players. HP TRIM is classified as Consider, and SharePoint 2007 is classified as Explore.
An important pattern to note is the rise of SharePoint. It's disrupting the EDRM market as well as some others such as Web 2.0. With its high cohesion with Office, its ease of use (generally a high rate of adoption), and its low cost from a licensing perspective, SharePoint is a good option for more and more companies. According to Butler Group, "SharePoint is designed to help organizations manage content while enabling information workers to communicate and collaborate electronically." EDRM vendors have made attempts to integrate with SharePoint using simple web parts that expose the File Plan and provide varying levels of search integration. The web parts typically include:
Document library. This web part enables Site Administrators to expose the EDRM File Plan as a document library. You need to specify the area (Container/Class) of the File Plan to expose it. This web part can make the provisioning process more difficult because of the skills required to configure it when provisioning sites; therefore, adopt with caution.
The Edit/Context Menu will include the "Move Document Feature" option. This web part adds a feature to the Edit/Context Menu that enables users to select a document to be moved to the EDRM File Plan. It generally exposes an ASPX page that requests record type and required metadata before sending to the EDRM.
Search protocol handler. This web part is installed on the Index Server and enables the server to crawl third-party applications such as an EDRM. For SharePoint to display combined search results from a content source, it must understand how to access, crawl, and return results. This is the job of the handler. I've found handlers to perform slowly and sometimes hang the indexer. Adopt with caution.
Federated search web part. If vendors don't have the time or expertise to develop a handler, the federated search web part is available. SharePoint search passes the web part, receives the search criteria from SharePoint search, processes the query, and displays it as a separate results set. I've found these web parts easy to install, and they perform well.
I've worked with a few of the EDRM's products web part integration and was not impressed. They don't provide true integration, but instead are more or less a simple gateway to the EDRM via web parts. They don't provide the ability to take advantage of features such as alerts, work flows, and views. Indexing performance is generally slow and doesn't scale well. There are often stability concerns and provisioning is problematic. Given its almost viral growth rate, SharePoint will continue to disrupt the EDRM market as it did the Portal market.
To the Future
To understand how the way people communicate has changed over the past century, and especially in the past 20 years, think about the communications media that past generations used: letters, phone, and fax and of course face-to-face communication. With these forms of communications came a simpler slow-paced work environment than we experience today.
Today, we use a variety of devices and applications such as smartphones, email, IM, cameras, Facebook, Linked In, VOIP, web conferencing, Twitter, and corporate systems such as email and voicemail.
EDRM is no longer the simple capture of physical and electronic assets such as mail and electronic documents. The scope of EDRM spans many applications and communication media and is far reaching organizationally. Some organizations realize this and have locked down corporate access to Internet applications. But what are the employees communicating from home? Are they leaking company secrets? Are there inappropriate communications about the organization or its people? Are recruiters chasing your staff on recruitment and networking sites?
Tools such as SharePoint technologies and Web 2.0 have changed the EDRM market. SharePoint 2010 is applying pressure to EDRM systems to step up their game regarding in place records management. Records managers and IT managers are thinking of ways to capture communication in applications such as Facebook and Twitter. The price point and usability of SharePoint is pushing EDRM tools out and changing the way companies think of and manage information assets. I predict that standard EDRMs will become a backend to software such as SharePoint. EDRM vendors will improve their integration by creating deep linkages to applications such as SharePoint and Web 2.0 applications that are seamless to the average user. Users won't even know their documents and communications are being captured as records.

Tribes, counties discuss goals
By MELANIE MOORE
BLACKFOOT — Officials from Bingham, Bannock and Power counties and the City of Pocatello again met with officials from the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes and the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Friday.
The purpose of the meetings is to continue breaking down barriers between the entities so they can begin to work together toward common goals. The entities began meeting in June.
At their previous meeting, a facilitator provided training on how to work together by viewing each other as human beings and how to work out of negative behaviors and perceptions.
"It really can be a basis for how this group works together," facilitator BryanParker said. "You're learning a new way of looking at things."
Historically, there has been tension between the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes and the surrounding jurisdictions, highlighted this year by various jurisdictional issues regarding land use and public safety.
Bannock County Commissioner Larry Gahn characterized the group's efforts as a shift from conflict to cooperation.
"We all have differences that ought to be recognized and celebrated," Ghan said.
Fort Hall Business Chairman Nathan Small said the eventual goal of the meetings is to enter into consensual relations with surrounding governments for the betterment of all citizens.
"There's a lot of issues here," Parker said. "We just haven't been able to sit down and cooperate."
Parker said each jurisdiction needs to get past the perceptions they have about each other and move forward through understanding and trust.
"We've got to do something fundamentally different to get out of this collusion," Parker said.
The group plans to begin discussing various public safety issues at their next meeting Nov. 12. Each entity agreed that public safety is a common concern.
"It's really about your communities and getting healthy communities," Parker said.

This is a letter I wrote to Bill Mills, I wanted to know your guys opinions and experiences too:
"Hello Bill Mills,
I have a question for you reguarding control bore length of 2 piece barrels. By control bore length, I mean the length of the first section of the barrel (mostly stainless) where the ball is accelerated before it enters the tip of the barrel where the inner diameter opens up where the ball doesnt even touch the barrel and gas bypasses around the ball rather than propelling it.
I have inquired about this with Tom Kaye of AGD. He wrote an article about barrel efficiency, so I continued on the subject. He went into depth how 2 piece barrel work, because of the sudden change in bore size, it ends acceleration abruptly, by doing this, it results in more tighter velocity grouping.
I inquired further asking him his opinion on what is the ideal control bore length? I used a rolled up piece of paper and pushed it into the barrel until it reached the bore change. Then I marked off the paper giving me the length of the control bore. I measured my DYE Boomstick, it had a 6" control length. My old J&J Full Tilt had a 5.5", while the JT I beleive was even shorter 5.25" I believe.
I noticed the trend in control bore length as new developments come out is that lengths are getting shorter and shorter in the newer barrels. DYE ,being the oldest, has the longest control bore. J&J came out with their barrel next. Now the new JT's have an even shorter bore length.
Tom Kayes response to me was "get what you need, the shorter the control bore length, ideally the more tighter the velocity grouping, but lesser the effieciency." While a longer control bore will give better efficiency, the velocity groupings will be slightly more erratic.
While this seems true, another discussion with online shop techsamd airsmiths explained that it would depend on the valve timing and dynamics of the gun. The longer the dwell period, the need for a longer control bore. Likewise in the reverse condition.
With the dynamics of the Mag valve, there is no dwell due to the fixed volume air chamber. I would be thinking that a shorter control bore would benefit the Mag best. The trend with Mags benefitting from shorter barrels seem to support this theory. While Tom Kayes theory of the control bore length being tied to efficiency/consistency ratio, Maybe in some cases, the control bore can be slightly too long for the designed valve dwell (in the Mag's cases, minimal to none) and may add excessive drag on the ball.
I am seriously thinking of dumping my Boomy and getting a JT instead. I just dont know how the barrel and all this theory will perform on the field. I hardly see any JT's on high end guns. The only JT barrels Ive seen on the field were on Spyders and Piranhas, while the higher end guns here locally almost exclusively use Boomy's.
I just wanted to know your opinion on all this tangled theory, and also yor opinion and experiences with the JT barrel vs other barrels like the Boomy, CP, Freak, etc.
Thanks for your patience and time in reading my email, and am looking very forward to your reply.
Much Mahalos (Thanks in Hawaii) in advance,
Vincent Cecilio aka "HyperSnyper" (AutomagsOnline)"
Let me know all,

If you are anything like me after you finish a quilt you end up with a few orphaned quilt blocks…and then you don't have the heart to throw them out…so you keep them…and they wait for another chance to shine.
Well, recently I found a fun way to let those orphaned blocks shine! Add them to an apron, bag, skirt, or girls dress as a pocket and let them be the center of attention.
*A quilt block
*A piece of fabric the same size as your quilt block to use for lining
*An item to sew your new pocket onto
*Charm pack to create your own simple blocks
#1. Find yourself a quilt block that needs a good home. Square it up and then cut a coordinating piece of fabric the same size as your quilt block.
#4. Flip your block right sides out and press flat.
#5. Pin your pocket on your item.
A new home for a deserving quilt block and one new item with a darling pocket detail.
***Note all the fabric for the quilt blocks, dress, and collar come from Basic Grey's Little Black Dress 2 line.***
We were so happy to visit here at the Bake Shop today!

- Economy outperforms national average- Energy sector remains key driver of growth- Jobless rate is lowest in Canada- Real GDP growth of 3.5 per cent in 2012, 2.9 per cent in 2013 (Canada's at 2.2 per cent in 2012, 2.0 per cent in 2013)
- Economy outperforms national average
- Energy sector remains key driver of growth
- Jobless rate is lowest in Canada
- Real GDP growth of 3.5 per cent in 2012, 2.9 per cent in 2013 (Canada's at 2.2 per cent in 2012, 2.0 per cent in 2013)
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Oct. 9, 2012) - Alberta's economy continues to outperform amid rising oil production and accelerating inward migration, according to the Provincial Monitor report released today by BMO Economics. The province will sit atop the Canadian leaderboard this year, with growth hitting 3.5 per cent before falling back slightly to 2.9 per cent in 2013.
"The energy sector remains the key driver of economic activity in the province, with crude bitumen production up 16 per cent year-over-year through the first half of the year, and the Energy Resources Conservation Board expecting oil sands output to more than double by 2021," said Robert Kavcic, Economist, BMO Capital Markets.
"Businesses in the private sector continue to be driving Alberta's economic growth by making important strategic investments and by focusing on opening up new markets," said Bill Hogg, District Vice President, Commercial, Alberta, BMO Bank of Montreal. "Our recent BMO Small Business Confidence Report shows that Albertan entrepreneurs have the most positive outlook in the country, with 70 per cent saying 2013 will be a better year and 55 per cent believing their business will experience growth in the year ahead."
Mr. Kavcic did note some potential risks to the oil sector. "Cost pressures could again pick up, though oil sands operations are generally viewed as economical at prices above $80. Also, wrangling over new pipeline capacity continues. In the meantime, more Bakken production-filling limited pipeline capacity-has contributed to a wider discount received by Canadian producers relative to WTI. Estimates suggest that production in Western Canada could be negatively impacted by 2015/16 if there is not enough new pipeline capacity put in place."
Strength in the energy sector has helped spur net in-migration, which hit the highest since the 2006 boom in the first quarter of 2012. Labour market trends, while favourable, have ebbed from an extremely robust performance last year. Private-sector job growth has levelled off, up 2.7 per cent year-over-year in September; most of the cooling has been in services, as growth in resources and construction is still strong.
"The 4.4 per cent jobless rate remains the lowest in Canada," said Mr. Kavcic. "Housing market activity is improving thanks to rising demand and a gradual drawdown of the excess supply put up during the 2005-07 boom. In Calgary, prices were up 6.8 per cent year-over-year in September, and have regained about half of the declines seen during the recession."

We can – and will – continue to make progress toward a more fair and family friendly nation by winning the fight for policies like the FAMILY Act. But it's going to take hard work. And we must all become advocates.
Tonight, the City Council in Newark, New Jersey, built on the great momentum we've seen around common sense paid sick days policies this year by passing its own standard.
While every family has unique health care needs, all women need a basic foundation of knowledge to help them pick the plan that's best for them.
More than 400 organizations have joined together to push for passage of the FAMILY Act. To mark its introduction, coalition members published blog posts, issued press statements, wrote op-eds and more.
It's a good day for D.C. Today, the City Council voted unanimously to strengthen the District's paid sick days law to cover more workers.
We have been proud to partner with Working Mother in recent years to galvanize support for a national paid leave program. Today, we celebrate a tremendous and exciting step forward in that effort.
Stephanie was the sole breadwinner for her family when her twins were born three months early and had to be hospitalized.
The Women's Health Protection Act would support women's ability to make personal health care decisions unhindered by callous and unnecessary state regulations.
Voters in Virginia faced a clear choice when it came to women's health and reproductive rights in the Virginia governor's race.
Support for paid sick days continues to grow. Meanwhile, opponents continue trying to thwart paid sick days efforts through "preemption" legislation.
What if, instead of plugging in your destination address, you could ask for directions to get to healthy?
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) includes key provisions of paramount importance to women...
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) includes key provisions of paramount importance to women...
As the organization that drafted and led the fight for the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the National Partnership knows that it was always meant to be a first step in helping people meet their work and family needs.
Across the country, eight million lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender workers put in the same hours and make the same contributions as their co-workers, yet no federal law protects them from unequal, harmful treatment.
Requiring all marketplace plans to include maternity coverage not only guarantees that women are treated equally in the insurance market, it also protects women and families from exorbitant pregnancy-related medical bills. We should all be embracing these benefits, not disparaging them.
It's the early 1970s. The women's movement has made great strides. "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," featuring independent, career woman Mary Richards, is climbing the ratings charts...
"Mija, I think that a woman should make her own decision about abortion for herself. It's her body and no one is in her shoes to decide for her." These are the words of my father, a proud immigrant from Michoacán, Mexico, a domestic worker, a brother to five sisters and a father to three daughters.
Jersey City just became the first city in the Garden State with a paid sick days law. Now, the Newark City Council has taken a critical step toward doing the same in the state's largest city.
Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop signed the nation's seventh paid sick days law, securing the city's position as a leader for working families and bringing us closer to the day all workers have the right to earn sick days.

The Dimensions of Colour
This started out well over a year ago as a tutorial intended for CA, but it just refused to stop growing. Eventually I took up an offer to have it made into a website as a second year student project at Billy Blue, a graphic design school where I teach drawing. But it's still meant for the community here, and I hope a bunch of you get a chance to work through it and maybe give me some feedback here. Huge thanks also to sciboy for generously hosting it on his server, where it's been sitting for the last week while I tinker with it. Still tinkering, but I think I can finally bear the thought of you guys seeing it now....
EDIT (Dec 11): I'd love for this thread to develop into a place where people come to discuss questions about colour theory. So please add any comments or questions you have, whether in connection with something on the site, or in relation to your own work, or about colour theory in general.

Just when my eyes had dried from watching videos of soldiers returning home, I hear one of the most touching stories ever and BAM -- I'm a big, weepy mess all over again.
For Shirley Sirivong, being pregnant has been anything but easy. After being diagnosed with gestational diabetes, complete placenta previa, and incompetent cervix, she was put on bed rest and a strict special diet. In the early months of bed rest, Shirley's "dull" breakfasts were limited to egg whites, wheat bread, peanut butter, and a few fruits and veggies. To liven up Shirley's bland meals, her husband Gat began to create funny faces out of boiled eggs and toast. "After a few days of that," Shirley told us, "they started to become more elaborate scenes."
Since then Gat has been serving up beautiful, creative, diabetic-friendly breakfasts for Shirley, featuring adorable egg characters parachuting, snowboarding, and even snorkeling.
"It has all been very sweet and has helped with my spirits," Shirley said. "It brings a smile to my face every morning, and I know it's out of love that he does this for me."
Despite the many complications that have arisen, Shirley says she is very grateful for the "precious life" thriving inside of her. "I treasure the opportunity to do what I can to bring a healthy baby into this world and into our lives."
Shirley was recently hospitalized and has now been on bed rest for three months. She's 24 weeks pregnant and due on December 19 -- they're expecting a boy. We're sending good thoughts their way! Share your best wishes to Shirley and Gat in the comments.
UPDATE: Shirley and Gat welcomed son Cody on December 2, 2010!

Hey guys,
Sadly I can attend no meeting this week. My coworker has injured himself and I must fill in for a couple days. RAW is occupied of Thursday, but if anyone else would like to host a meeting Wednesday I could pop in and out. Or if it's a nice day, don't feel too guilty about going to the park without me!
I'm going to post some cool things tomorrow. Hartford's got me exhausted.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologySpot-billed pelicans nest in colonies, usually in old trees; returning to the same trees and the same position each year. The breeding season is dependent on the rains, but on the Indian subcontinent pairs begin to construct their nests in September (4). The clutch of around two to three eggs is laid from October to November and the chicks fledge around three months after laying (4). Enormous colonies have been recorded in the past, when hundreds of birds nested in the same area of the forest, with up to 15 nests per tree (4). Little is known about the feeding ecology of these pelicans; individuals appear to mainly hunt for fish prey on a solitary basis (4).

COLLOQUIUM You are invited to attend a lecture byProfessor Sir Richard Friend, FRSOptoelectronics Group, Cavendish LaboratoryUniversity of Cambridge On: Organic Semiconductor Devices: Charge injection, Transport, Recombination and Photoinduced Separation I will report on several recent advances in the design and operation of organic semiconductor diodes: Charge injection has traditionally been achieved with the use of metallic electrodes, but metal oxides are now known to provide excellent alternatives, providing ohmic injection of both electrons and holes. I will show that this provides interesting opportunities to redesign the architecture of light-emitting diodes. Charge separation in organic solar cells requires the use of a heterojunction between two organic semiconductors that can be used to overcome the onsite Coulomb binding between electron and hole, but the formation of bound charge-transfer excitations across the heterojunction can limit the efficiency of simple heterojunction structures. These CT states can evolve to form spin-triplet excitons that then prevent long-time charge separation. The magnetic field dependence of the photoluminescence and photoconductivity provides information about these processes.The possibility that a spin singlet exciton can split to form two triplet excitons when the exchange energy is large has been known for many years. However, the possible use of this process to improve efficiency for solar cells has now been appreciated. We have carried out transient optical absorption measurements that reveal that his process is present in pentacene/fullerene solar cells.
The lecture will take place On Wednesday, 15/09/2010 at 12:30 in Room 1003 Electrical Eng. Building Technion City

PARIS — She was the silent, supportive wife during the scandal that forced her husband, former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, into the spotlight of public scrutiny after his arrest on sexual assault charges in New York — later dropped.
Now, Anne Sinclair, once France's diva of TV journalism, has stepped back into the spotlight, announcing her return to the work force Monday, this time with Le Huffington Post, the made-in-France version of the news and opinion Web site.
For colleagues who ask how she stood by her man amid humiliating revelations, she has but one reply: mind your own business.
The 63-year-old Sinclair made her reputation as a journalist interviewing politicians and stars on her "7 Sur 7" TV show for 13 years. She later started up the Internet site of the leading French TV station.
On Monday, she joined Arianna Huffington, HuffPost's founder, at a packed news conference to announce the launch of Le Huffington Post, the first foreign-language version of the site, and her appointment as its editorial director.
More foreign-language HuffPosts are to follow in coming months, in Spain as early as March, in Italy in April, then in Brazil, Greece — where Huffington was born — and Turkey.
The small French version, with a team of eight journalists, is associated with the independent daily Le Monde, where its offices are located. Huffington would not divulge the operation's budget.
Despite the ambitious sweep of the project, Sinclair, a woman of independent means, will work without salary at a job she says "fell from the sky."
"Here, I'm not the most geeky person of the team. That's clear," Sinclair said during the introductions. But she said it's a pleasure to be back on the job — at a peak news time with the euro financial crisis, spring presidential elections in France, followed by the U.S. presidential voting.
Sinclair has spent the last eight months in the shadows as the stoic, silent wife in the sex assault scandal that began with the spectacular May 14 arrest of Strauss-Kahn — known here as DSK — after he boarded an Air France flight in New York for Paris.
Charged with sexual assault based on accusations by a housekeeper at Manhattan's Sofitel hotel, Strauss-Kahn was jailed on Rikers Island, then forced into a gilded prison, a luxury townhouse in Manhattan, an electronic bracelet locked on his ankle. As months passed, DSK's bid to become the Socialist candidate in French presidential elections this April and May disappeared, like his IMF job.
Sinclair's wealth cushioned the blows, from paying bail and rent for the extravagant townhouse — but raised questions about why she hung in as sordid tales came out.
Sinclair — long a role model among French women — vowed at Monday's news conference that there would be no conflict of interest in her new job.
"All important information will be treated normally. And everything that should be page 1 will be page 1," Sinclair insisted.
What if the news is about her husband?
"I wasn't expecting that question," she quipped. "I don't think it will be the essential news of 2012, but if it were we would handle it ... in a professional manner."
Strauss-Kahn still faces a civil lawsuit in the U.S. by the hotel maid, Nafissatou Diallo, but that could take years to reach court.
His name has surfaced in an ongoing investigation of a prostitution ring in Lille, in northern France, implicating police and other officials. However, he has not been questioned. French prosecutors refused to pursue an allegation by a young French writer of attempted rape in 2003.
The developments are a lot for any wife to digest.
Journalists who broached the topic Monday got no response. Sinclair noted that an interview in this week's Elle magazine says all she intends to say, for now.
She may one day recount her experience, and her choices, "But if I want to, when I want to and how I want to," she told Elle.
Her message in that interview was clear: mind your own business.
Her husband emerged in China in his own bid to rebuild a professional life, a speaker at a business conference in Beijing.
Sinclair feels no need to explain herself.
"That women may feel disappointment in me, I'm sorry but that's their problem ...," she said. "All the dikes that protect one's private life were broken" during the DSK affair in New York, she said.
"To be the object of speculation, permanent harassment to know what's happening in my household has something Orwellian about it. It's totalitarian," she told Elle.
Huffington may have provided a partial answer, referring to Sinclair as a "force of nature."
Later, she said that Sinclair can serve as an inspiration for women.
"It demonstrates to millions of women who have suffered their own defeats and obstacles and setbacks that they don't have to retreat, Huffington told The Associated Press. "
"They can come back and rejoin whatever it is that their passionate about, get back in the arena."

Dental Corner: Educate your clients about dental home care for their pets
The specific dental problem we strive to prevent is periodontal disease, which is related to the presence of plaque bacteria on the tooth surface. The goal of dental home care is to remove plaque to retard calculus accumulation on the tooth surface. Plaque bacteria can colonize a clean tooth in 24 to 36 hours. So within a few days of a professional dental cleaning, a pet's teeth are already accumulating the bacteria that will again cause periodontal inflammation and disease. The good news is that home care can prevent this accumulation.
Unfortunately, what is best for our patients isn't always what gets done. Unscientific polls of veterinarians attending continuing -education lectures confirm that many pets, even those owned by veterinarians, go without dental home care. In some cases, the reason is the pet itself (e.g. the pet bites or runs away). But in many cases, it simply boils down to a lack of adequate client education or a lack of motivation on the pet owner's part. As veterinarians, our job is not only to educate our clients about the available products to perform home care, but more important, to motivate clients by underscoring the serious nature of the disease we are trying to prevent.GETTING STARTED
Dental home care for veterinary patients starts at the veterinary office. Patients must be evaluated for dental disease and treated, if necessary, before a home care program is begun. Eighty percent of dogs over the age of 3 and at least 50% of cats have advanced periodontal disease that requires immediate professional treatment.2 Professional dental treatment, performed when needed and while a pet is anesthetized, is the cornerstone of preventive dental health for our patients. On average, dogs and cats benefit from an annual prophylaxis starting at the age of 3, but each patient needs an individualized dental program.
As part of your canine patients' dental programs, consider incorporating a recently developed bacterin to prevent periodontitis (alveolar bone loss). The bacterin (Porphyro monas Denticanis-Gulae-Salivosa Bacterin—Pfizer Animal Health) is conditionally licensed for vaccinating healthy dogs to help prevent periodontitis associated with Porphyromas gulae, Porphyromas salivosa, and Porphyromonas denticanis—the three most common black-pigmented anaerobic bacteria isolated from dogs with periodontitis.3 A reasonable expectation of this bacterin's efficacy has been shown in experimental studies.4 A clinical trial is currently under way that evaluates the safety and efficacy of the bacterin in client-owned dogs. However, study results are not yet available. This bacterin, in addition to annual prophylaxis and daily home care, is yet another means of preventing periodontal disease.
Dental home care is contraindicated in pets with painful dental problems, including feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions and fractured teeth with exposed pulp. In fact, the discomfort caused by trying to brush a painful tooth may adversely condition the pet to fear future attempts at home care. So home care, especially feeding a textured dental diet, should be instituted only after appropriate professional treatment has established a clean and healthy mouth (except in the youngest and healthiest of patients).5 Ideally, dental home care programs should be started in puppies and kittens before any dental pathology has started.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Rookie midfielder Kelyn Rowe followed up Friday's two-goal performance with a two-assist performance on Wednesday afternoon at Gillette Stadium, setting up both goals in the New England Revolution's 2-1 win over Boston College.
Supplemental Draft selection Alec Purdie (28th minute) and captain Shalrie Joseph (52nd minute) were the goal scorers for the Revolution, sandwiched around a strike from BC's Diego Medina-Mendez in the 33rd minute. The win improved New England's preseason record to 3-0-0 following previous triumphs over Boston College and FC Tucson.
Training camp invitee Blake Brettschneider started at forward for the Revolution and almost opened the scoring in the 18th minute. The former D.C. United striker powered a header on frame from the middle of the box, but his effort was acrobatically tipped over the crossbar by Eagles goalkeeper Justin Luthy.
The Revs did make the breakthrough 10 minutes later when Purdie put the finishing touch on a clever pass from Rowe in the 28th minute. Rowe's cutting through ball split open the Eagles' backline and sent Purdie streaking into the right side of the box, where the former Indiana Hoosier buried his chance with a low shot inside the far post.
It took BC just five minutes to find an equalizer, however, as Medina-Mendez pulled the college side level in the 33rd minute. Kyle Bekker was the orchestrator with a short pass at the top of the box to spring Medina-Mendez, whose rising drive slipped through the hands of Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis before bouncing over the line.
Head coach Jay Heaps altered his formation to start the second half, bringing on Blake Wagner and Clyde Simms and moving to a 4-5-1 setup. Wagner took over for Chris Tierney at left back, pushing Tierney into a left midfield role, while Simms joined Joseph and Benny Feilhaber in central midfield. Brettschneider continued as the lone forward.
The move paid dividends just seven minutes into the second half as Joseph scored what proved to be the game winner in the 52nd minute. Rowe was once again the creator, whipping a right-wing cross to the back post for Joseph to bury from close range.
Second-half substitute Diego Fagundez had a golden chance to add a third for the Revs in the 65th minute, but his breakaway effort was pushed away and the follow-up try from Tierney was tipped narrowly over the crossbar by the sprawling goalkeeper.
The Revs return to Arizona for their second preseason training trip early next week as they'll take part in the FC Tucson Desert Diamond Cup along with the LA Galaxy, New York Red Bulls and Real Salt Lake.

Also, make sure you are very well hydrated. I see in the previous post that you focused on hydration after your stomach incident, but do this every day and it might help. [/QUOTE] hydrating really well every day is S.O.P. I was suggesting that getting sick in middle of night had me playing catch up and prob impacted first of the day pump.
Keep changing up the compressions until you find the best method. It took me a while but when I eventually mastered breast compressions my output went up significantly. I found there were certain parts of my breasts that really needed some direct pressure to empty, and both breasts were different. [/QUOTE] thanks. Agreed. Left one is stubborn!
Good Luck![/QUOTE]
