Ad Barrage in Alaska Senate Race Set to Escalate
Backers of GOP Primary Winner Sullivan and Democratic Sen. Begich Plan Big Ad Buys
The pace of political ads that have flooded Alaska's airwaves is set to intensify after a candidate backed by Republican leaders, Dan Sullivan, won the GOP nomination to challenge Democratic Sen. Mark Begich.
Already, the state has seen more than 31,000 political ads, according to a Center for Public Integrity analysis. Less than half have been funded by the political parties and candidates. Nearly all of the spending came from groups outside of Alaska....

Filmmaker Uses VHS Magic to Talk to Himself as a Kid, Plus See His 'Ghostbusters' and 'LOTR' Fan Films
Remember the movie Frequency where Jim Caviezel uses a freak atmospheric storm to talk to his dad, Dennis Quaid, in the past? This is kind of like that, except instead of a ham radio, it's a VHS tape, and instead of Caviezel and Quaid it's a single man: Jeremiah McDonald. Okay, so it's not really like Frequency at all. It's better.
When McDonald was 12-years old, he made a VHS tape of himself talking to his future self. Now, 20 years later, he dug out that VHS tape and used it to hold a rather sobering conversation with himself. The result is pretty great stuff. Even though his isn't your childhood, prepare to get hit with a wave of nostalgia.
But that's not the only vintage gem McDonald has put on YouTube. You can watch one of his early films as well, a Super 8, stop-motion, live-action hybrid Ghostbusters fan film:
But that's not all! Check out McDonald's 1994, videotaped book report on Lord of the Rings. Coolest kid ever or what?

I'm waiting for my orders from the Politburo on how to spin this thing -- so you'll have to debate amongst yourself for a bit longer. To be updated...
My overall opinion hasn't changed since I wrote it up for "the newspaper" 10 minutes after the debate ended: Obama looked like the one who was half-dead in Denver and Mitt Romney looked like he had too much caffeine (which is kinda of funny because, uh, he actually can't drink caffeine...oops), and Romney clearly won the debate.
Romney certainly won on body language -- which to a lot of people is the most important part of a debate -- but he also won, and this is what surprised a lot of people, in exoressing empathy -- which is very important indeed. Where everybody fell flat in was ideas. Both candidates sounded wonky, but when you peeled back the wonkery there wasn't a lot there for either Obama or for Romney.
Call me crazy but I thought the worst momemt of the debate wasn't Obama looking down at his shoes but Romney trying to explain how his tax cut -- the centerpiece of his campaign -- isn't really a tax cut, but...What the hell is it? Seriously, I think you don't need to be a rocket scientist to see that cutting rates while eliminating deductions will benefit the wealthy and hurt the middle class. Why Obama didn't hammer him for that is a big reason why we're all talking today about what a disaster Obama was. You'll be shocked* to learn I've gotten a fair number of emails and calls from Romney supporters gloating about how their man "pounded" Obama. But none of them mentioned any of Romney's brilliant ideas on taxes, jobs or health care. So I guess we did see the same debate, after all.
Most of the time, we all put on a big show complaining that our politics values style over substance. But not on Debate Night oin America, when we make little pretense of admitting that it's anything but a sporting event, only lacking Fox's exploding helmeted robots or an intro song by Pink (but just wait wait a few more cycles). The most famous U.S. presidential debate line of all-time was Ronald Reagan telling Jimmy Carter, "There you go again!" Do you have any idea what the issue was they were debating about? Would it really matter if you knew?
Arguably the second most famous debate question of all time was when Walter Mondale said to Gary Hart in the 1984 primaries: "When I hear your new ideas, I'm reminded of that ad, 'Where's the beef?'"
Great question.
America gets two more chances to see whether either Romney or Obama will ever answer it in 2012.
* Sarcasm.


text: I couldn't imagine a better example than presenting logo work when it comes to showing options. I have worked for many studios and showing many options (as many as 20) was standard practice. When I started doing freelance work, I realized that showing many options was a waste of time. Would an umpire in baseball present multiple calls after a play in order to show his thoughtfulness? Never. Studios operate this way because they spend more time generating work rather than spend it up front understanding the client and the project goals. Its ironic how some studio owners feel it is their duty to supply clients with "more" rather than staying true to the "less is more" philosophy and producing quality rather than quantity. I guess it all depends upon the client. I remember doing work for companies that would not hire you if they couldn't see 20+ options. I say, "Find a new client. There's plenty of them out there."

May 23 is the deadline for the U.S. Department of Agriculture to finish reviewing 800 submitted comments and release a final rule on mandatory country of origin labeling, which originated as part of the 2002 Farm Bill and has been embroiled in controversy ever since.
Stay strong and keep COOL.
That's the message from Roger Johnson, president of National Farmers Union, along with leaders from at least 229 other organizations that continue to support hotly contested legislation that requires meat sold at retail to be labeled with information about where each animal was born, raised and processed.
May 23 is the deadline for the U.S. Department of Agriculture to finish reviewing 800 submitted comments and release a final rule on mandatory country of origin labeling, which originated as part of the 2002 Farm Bill and has been embroiled in controversy ever since.
Grilling season is fast approaching and many beef promotion groups are celebrating Beef Month in May, but the ongoing conflict over labeling continues to loom over the U.S. meat industry.
Canada and Mexico, America's two closest livestock trading partners, say COOL legislation is discriminatory and is hurting them financially (Canada alone estimates $1 billion per year in lost trade). They successfully challenged the rule at the WTO's dispute settlement body in 2011, a decision upheld last year by an appellate body. Since its original passage, it has also drawn fierce opposition within the U.S. from those who believe it adds costs to the system while hurting ranchers in neighboring countries and interfering with global trade flows. In practical terms, it obviously has the greatest immediate impact on feed yards and slaughterhouses that operate close to the northern or southern borders.
"We have long advocated that M-COOL is a marketing tool and while cattlemen and women are proud of the products they produce, a mandatory labeling program does not provide a value to our industry or our customers," summarized Scott George, a cattleman from Cody, Wyo., and current president of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. "We support and see value in voluntary labeling programs like Certified Angus Beef, where there is a genuine effort to distinguish and market the product. The proposed rule will not meet those ends."
However, a sizeable coalition continues to support it, and they appear to have one notable ally on their side: USDA. After the rule was challenged through the WTO, federal agriculture officials made the surprising move of calling for even stiffer requirements.
During a recent telephone press conference, advocates made their case for why the U.S. should continue to fight for labeling on behalf of both domestic livestock producers and consumers.
Johnson refuted figures widely circulated by the American Meat Institute contending the labeling law costs U.S. meat packers as much as $500 million for implementing new livestock segregation, record-keeping and packaging. He called those claims "way off base," saying packers rather than producers benefit from blending meat products from multiple countries and then selling them without full disclosure of the source of origin. He also pointed out that Canada is in the process of enacting its own labeling law, along with a slew of others.
The most immediate concern being raised now is what the dispute will cost the U.S. in terms of potential trade retaliation by Canada and Mexico.
Jon Wooster, a rancher from San Lucas, Calif., and president of the U.S. Cattlemen's Association, said no impending retaliatory acts are on the horizon yet. He outlined a lengthy review process that would require consultations between the two countries, further compliance and review panels and further potential for appeals. "It's not going to happen overnight," he said of retaliatory measures. "Even if it gets to that point, it will take months and months."
Another potential stumbling block for proponents could occur if Congress attempts to revisit the issue during farm bill reauthorization, which is expected to kick into high gear this month.
"I think there's a pretty strong feeling in Congress that they don't want to take this issue up again," Johnson argued.
Unless the final rule is dramatically different from the proposed version, it doesn't appear likely that Canada and Mexico will warm up to it. But Patty Lovera, assistant director for Food and Water Watch, was hopeful that President Obama would have a chance to raise the issue with Mexico's president during a recent trade trip to that country, even though immigration reform and border security were likely to dominate his agenda. She called the issue "a trade irritant" but expressed optimism that the two leaders could make headway toward resolving it.
"Every trend at this point is about giving consumers more information about their food," she said. "Even USDA has embraced this. It's striking we are even having this conversation about what is a very basic piece of food information."

Commerce City, Colo. - On a night with the Rapids honored Colorado Heroes in public service and athletics, it was perhaps fitting that Boulder-native Shane O'Neill made his MLS debut.
The 19-year-old became the club's first homegrown player to develop from the Academy system and play an MLS game when he replaces Jeff Larentowicz in the 86th minute of the team's 3-0 win over Portland at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
"All my family was here and a few friends, so it was a good one for me to get a chance," O'Neill said afterwards. "I've been chomping at the bit to come and get out on the field. Swansea was fun, but I really wanted to get into the MLS because obviously that's the serious stuff where the points matter."
The rookie got his first experience as a pro when he played in the Rapids' friendly win over English Premier League side Swansea City in July. However, Wednesday's regular season match is the only one that goes in the record books.
"Tonight I was a bit nervous, but once I got a few touches on the ball, the game opened up for me a little bit and I relaxed a little bit," he said of his debut. "It was nice. I was very pleased with the way that I played."
Signed on June 19, O'Neill had already made a few game days rosters but had yet to enter a match.
"Very proud and happy for Shane," coach Oscar Pareja said. "I thought he was waiting for this opportunity. I know this has been a special day for the club, it's been a special day for Shane, his family, his coaches, the people who have been around him."
Following his debut, the players presented the former Fariview High School star with a present.
"The guys gave me the match ball after game," O'Neill said, as he flipped the ball to see it signed by all his teammates. "It was my first time on the field, so it was very exciting. This will be a good memory going forward for me."
O'Neill knows minutes may be hard to come by, but he'll be ready when called upon.
"Honestly it's the coach's decision," he said. "I hope I made a good enough impression. I'll just keep working hard and keep going forward, and keep improving for next year."

The Urban Hotel had good room service food. Almost every day it was easier to order something in the morning and get started with some energy, than to look around St. Kilda for a quick breakfast. "Crispy Bacon" in Australia (as well as the UK) seems to be "soft floppy bacon" to me. I guess in the US we crisp the hell out of it. I like both varieties, bacon is just good. This was the first day of the Semi Permanent conference. It's a seminar series with speakers from the design world, photography, motion graphics, film, special effect, and of course, illustration/art. I had such a good time hearing the different speakers, we're all connected through our visual culture but each of us comes from very different worlds.
This was the first year they held it in Melbourne. The convention center looked pretty cool. Slanted lines everywhere. Melbourne seems to have lots of crooked architecture, diagonal lines and futurism mixed with... something (remnants of British colonial style??).
This is Luke Lucas. The first speaker and one of my favorites. He is responsible for the magazine Lifelounge, if you have not seen it, get a copy now! Luke is a master at working with type, he does very inspiring and clever work. Great to meet him!
In between speakers I explored the convention center and found more futuristic rooms.
Burger Rings? I was tempted to try them, but decided against it. Also Cheetos Cheese & Bacon Balls. Different. I decided to pass. Snacks are expensive in Oz...
More diagonal architecture around the convention center...
Bathroom shot.
Tara McPherson gave her talk in the afternoon, very cool to see her story and her process. We are old Art Center buddies, so it was neat to see how far we have come.
More weird and cool architecture. Southern Cross Station... Sometimes I kinda felt like I was in the city of Macross.
Then the next day came, I did my talk, threw out some stickers, cough drops, toys, and candy to the audience. Helped me loosen up, and I think it warmed up the crowd. The talk went good, I think.. yeah, I'm sure it went good. I felt a strange clarity up there on stage, like I was in control of my destiny and 100% not nervous for the first time talking in front of so many people. Maybe I am just getting used to public speaking over the years. Took a quick iPhone craptastic picture of the audience. This is just the middle row, there are rows to the side and a whole upper deck area. Thanks all you attendees for the warm response I received! I had a blast and met some great Australians.
Alex Jaeger from ILM was the last speaker. On his way over from LAX their 747 hit a bird which smashed the nosecone and took out their weather radar. They had to dump the fuel and return. Read about it here. Very interesting talk, I'm always fascinated by special effects and entertainment design. Alex had some great work to show the audience, and of course ILM has such a rich history and has been so inspirational to artists over the years. I really respect these guys. For a while it was my goal to work in that industry, and about ten years ago I made a decision to pursue painting and illustration rather than entertainment design. Still a lot of love for all that though..
After the conference I ate a weird meal. Some sort of cold chicken/ham/pistachio loaf. Pretty much the funkiest meal I had there. I should have asked what it was before ordering haha! Wasn't terribly bad, but I was cold the whole time and a cold meal was not what I had in mind!
Martin McIntosh is the best. Thanks again for all the rides!
Went to the Semi Permanent after party. The band was pretty dope- The Scare. Singer was doing some crazy shit. I don't see much live music being a family guy, I like shows but would rather be at home with the kidlets. So it was nice to feel the loud music and drink a few beers.
The party was down this seedy alley. Very Motley Crew...
A Luke Lucas poster. Hells yeah..
At first I was confused- is this Jack in the Box or Burger King? Definitely the BK logo.
Parrots are all over. Found this on the ground.
Tim Tams- very good!
The next day I had a signing with Tara at Outre Gallery. Didn't get any good pics. Anyone out there have any?
The day before Tara suggested the Eggs Benedict breakfast. I'm always a little freaked out by yolk. Everyone thinks I'm crazy- "Yolk is goood!" they say, but I dunno. It's weird man. So runny. Yolk. Even the name is weird. She was right though, this was very good! I think the rocket added some nice flavor to it.
Put up stickers all over. I am such a vandal haha...
Never heard of these... they were like Cheetos but a little different.
More food. Vietnamese. I never did get to eat a proper Australian meal. Went to a place that had Kangaroo steaks but they were all out. Apparently, they don't raise them as food, they actually have to go out and shoot them in the wild. I asked somewhere if they had Koala meat and they laughed at me.
Angelique Houtkamp and her husband Peter were in town for the opening of her show at Outre Gallery. Very nice people, and Angelique is a talented watercolorist. It was nice spending time with them.
Along with them was Dutch photographer duo Fotofloor!
This was the next morning, a view out my window. My last day. I was supposed to paint at Hosier Lane, but the news said it'd be raining all day. It was cold, windy, and I needed to find spraypaint and acrylics, so I decided against it. I am from Southern California, I am a wuss when it gets colder than 50 degrees.
Ordered some breakfast and watched some TV.
Decided to get some artwork done. I brought a bunch of supplies but hadn't had free time to make art till the end. Inks, watercolors and acrylics. Nice diffused lighting from the overcast Melbourne sky. Worked in a lot of geometrics- triangles, diamonds, diagonals- I guess reacting to my surroundings.
After a few hours I needed to get out, rain or shine. No fun to stay cooped up in a hotel in a new city.
Took the tram into the city, explored a bit, and went to Rialto Towers. It is the second tallest building in Melbourne and has an observation deck. I'm a sucker for high up places like this. I have a feeling most Melbournians have not been up here, just like most NYers have not been up the Empire State Building. It was pretty neat, and cold and windy.
Walked around St. Kilda some more...
Finally it rained. I made it back in time and modeled the koala mask I got for Shannon.
Worked on these pieces a bit more...
Next morning, on my way back. Qantas was nice to fly with. They call you "Luv" and ask for your "rubbish". I watched Star Trek on the way home but fell asleep somewhere in the middle. I was away one week. I was really missing Jennifer and the girls. Always good to return home to hugs and smiles! That's what it's all about... and it's also all about bringing home weird foreign candy bars.

Smart building integration
Historically, the facility management challenge has been to do more with less. System integration provides a solution, and offers an opportunity to lower costs and achieve greater efficiencies.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify what a smart building is, and the solutions it can provide.
- Learn how a BAS can integrate engineered systems within a building.
- Understand the role data can play in increasing operational and energy efficiency.
Typical facility management challenges associated with energy consumption, operational costs, and occupant comfort have been compounded by the growing complexity of the engineered systems designed to manage them. Operational budgets, staffing levels, and staff skill sets often fall short of need. Implementation of smart building solutions that can remedy these problems has been underexplored due to perceived lack of return on investment. Reinforcing this perception, the capabilities of smart building technologies, when employed, are commonly under-exploited for lack of capacity to do so.
Costs associated with system integration (data storage and communications interfaces) have been falling. The concept of the Internet of Things is gaining traction. McKinsey Quarterly defines Internet of Things as "objects becoming embedded with sensors and gaining the ability to communicate." This trend is generating free-use analytical tools and processes for integration optimization, prompting building owners to increasingly concur with McKinsey's opinion that "the resulting information networks promise to create new business models, improve business processes, and reduce costs and risks." The two-part challenge is to better use technology and more fully leverage data.
What is a smart building?
The promise of smart buildings is to overcome facility management challenges and realize the potential of improved operational and energy efficiencies by leveraging interdependencies between building and business systems, leading to optimization or automation of facility management work processes and providing a wealth of data for analysis. Visualization and analytics tools reveal trends, patterns, and anomalies that can lead to better operational and energy management strategies, ultimately integrating facility management with the organization's business objectives.
Of course, the ability to integrate building systems will be impacted by the building systems being employed and the extent to which they lend themselves to integration. Knowledge of the sheer variety of systems in the field, and the expertise to understand what can be accomplished by engineering design, software, or the boots on the ground, is fundamental to the optimal success of any smart building initiative.
Systems integration and data analytics are the fundamentals of smart buildings, but the industry lacks standards and guides to define a smart building, much less measure its relative smartness. Certain attributes are typically associated with smart buildings—systems integration, data analytics, open protocols, flexibility of use, adaptability to changing requirements, enhanced user experience, fault detection, diagnostics, energy efficiency, sustainable operations—but none of these constitutes building "smartness" in and of itself.
Remote monitoring, often erroneously equated to smart buildings, can also be one attribute; having the ability to remotely monitor a building does not solely make a building smart. Nor does simply acquiring a BAS make the building smart. How the BAS is configured and used is essential to making the building smarter. Furthermore, integrating disparate systems, while a step in the right direction, doesn't render a building smart without leveraging the synergetic interdependencies of its systems. A smart building integrates disparate systems from a business case perspective, serving business case needs.
The technological state of existing buildings
Technologically, the building automation industry has progressed from pneumatic systems to direct digital control (DDC) systems to today's open protocol controls loaded with functionality. Many existing buildings and campuses have been subject to the full spectrum. Yet building management improvements have not kept pace with technological advances for several reasons:
Multiple BASs: It is common to find multiple, disparate BASs in existing facilities. A low-bid approach to new construction projects is the primary cause of this. One university in the Carolinas had, until recently, eight disparate BASs. Any time building operators needed to make a common scheduling change, they had to do it eight times.
BAS functionality is not configured: Despite the degree of functionality with which new BASs are equipped, they are seldom specified and rarely configured properly. One health care provider with a 2-million-sq-ft campus in Florida averaged more than 900 alarms per day. Use of functionality such as alarm suppression resulted in a reduction of alarms from around 900 to around 90 per day—a 90% reduction. For the health care provider, this was equivalent to reduction of one full-time position. Because alarm suppression associates secondary or tertiary alarms with its primary source, a chilled water temperature in high temperature limit alarm will trigger secondary (air handling unit discharge air temperature) and tertiary (room temperature) alarms. With an alarm suppression scheme in place, the operator gets only the primary alarm while the others are suppressed.
Building systems in silos: It's common to find a multitude of systems in existing campuses and major portfolios. Building systems typically include disparate building automation, security, fire alarm, power management, elevators, and lighting systems. Meanwhile, facility management business systems typically include work order management, preventive maintenance, scheduling, human resources, and utility analysis. Most of these systems have their own proprietary communications interface and operate in a stand-alone mode. The challenge for operational staff is to learn each system. Dedicated teams are formed to develop expertise in operating each system. Buildings within the same campus or portfolio are operated individually instead of as a group, leading to inefficient operational resource management.
Lack of standardization: Similar buildings on the same campus or even on different floors in the same building may end up with different systems, different operational sequences, or both. The same technician who configures a BAS on one building with a certain sequencing, software, and point naming scheme may have done the next building on that same campus completely differently.

Nanosphere's board of directors has appointed Michael K. McGarrity to succeed William P. Moffitt as President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. McGarrity, who was previously Vice President of Sales and Marketing and Chief Commercial Officer, has more than 24 years of sales and marketing experience in the medical device industry. He joined Nanosphere after 13 years with Stryker Corporation, where he served in leadership roles in marketing and strategic development.
"I am proud to be leading Nanosphere as we enter a new phase of our growth focused on customer-facing commercialization," Mr. McGarrity said. "I believe that the best ideas come from collaboration with our customers. We will continue to tap this resource through our commercial and marketing organization for confirmation that we are on the right path of applying our proprietary capabilities in clinically actionable ways. We are committed to market-driven execution and quality. This commitment is backed by the most talented and dedicated employees in the industry, and we look forward to creating value for our shareholders."
Board Member Changes; Commitment of Lurie Investments
The Company also announced the appointments of Sheli Z. Rosenberg, Michael J. Ward and Michael K. McGarrity to its board of directors, filling positions formerly held by Mark E. Slezak, Roy N. Davis, William T. White III and William P. Moffitt, all of whom resigned as directors. Ms. Rosenberg was appointed Chair of the board of directors and previously served on the Nanosphere board from 2002 to 2012. Ms. Rosenberg is Of Counsel at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and is the former president, chief executive officer and vice chairman of Equity Group Investments. Mr. Ward is currently a Director at Lurie Investments responsible for managing investment activities. Prior to joining Lurie Investments in 2009, he gained over 15 years of investment banking experience at Credit Suisse, Prudential Securities, Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, BMO and Leerink Swann. As an investment banker, Mr. Ward was primarily focused on M&A and financing transactions for life sciences companies.
Also, Lurie Investments together with its affiliates has executed a twelve-month voluntary lock-up agreement with Nanosphere, indicating its intent to hold its position and realize the value it believes exists within the Company. Lurie Investments and its affiliates hold approximately 14.7 million shares of common stock, representing approximately 26% ownership of the Company.
"On behalf of the Board, I want to thank Bill Moffitt for his years of valuable service in helping to make Nanosphere a leader in advanced molecular diagnostics," said Ms. Rosenberg. "We are confident in Mike McGarrity's ability to lead as Nanosphere enters the commercialization stage. We are pleased with the early signs of growth and excited about the opportunity to create significant shareholder value as we make additional progress toward the broad adoption of Nanosphere's technology as the industry-leading platform in advanced molecular diagnostics. We also appreciate the commitment of Lurie Investments to the success of Nanosphere," she continued.
Operational Results
Fourth quarter customer placements of 56 represents continued acceleration of new customer growth in the U.S. Nanosphere management, during the last quarterly conference call, provided guidance around the low end of the previously disclosed range of 60 to 80 placements for the fourth quarter of 2012. Disappointing demand in Europe resulted in total placements that were lower than expected for the quarter.
Costs and operating expenses were $38.0 million in 2012, remaining flat relative to 2011. Costs of sales increased from $1.8 million in 2011 to $3.5 million in 2012, driven by increased volume. Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2012 increased to $16.9 million from $16.2 million as field sales and customer support teams were expanded. Research and development expenses decreased from $20.0 million in 2011 to $17.6 million in 2012 as a result of a shift in resources from development to manufacturing and customer support as commercialization accelerated.
Net loss for 2012 was $32.9 million, compared with $35.4 million in 2011. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2012 decreased to $7.6 million compared with $8.6 million for the same period in 2011 and $8.7 million in the third quarter of 2012.
Cash flow for the fourth quarter of 2012 was negative $8.8 million including $1.5 million of investments in inventory to support system placements. Full year 2012 cash flow from operations was negative $31.7 million, of which $4.8 million was driven by increases in inventory. Cash at December 31, 2012 was $33.1 million.
Nanosphere is evaluating debt facilities to help manage its working capital needs and is currently in discussions with debt providers.
Business Guidance
For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, the Company expects to generate between $13 million and $15 million in product revenue and between 200 and 250 customer placements.
Nanosphere had previously provided guidance in the range of 80 to 100 placements for the first quarter of 2013. Slower than anticipated growth in international markets and the timing of projected regulatory approvals of the Company's gram negative blood stream infection and its enteric pathogens panels make 45-55 placements more likely in the first quarter.

NAMM 2009: Vox Unveils the new Night Train Head amp!
The new Night Train offers legendary VOX sound in a visually arresting, compact and portable package
VOX amplification has joined forces with legendary amp designer Tony Bruno to introduce the NT15H "Night Train," a 15-Watt, all-tube guitar amplifier head offering both classic and new VOX tones in a compact, portable, design. A collaboration between the VOX R&D team and Bruno, this all-tube head weighs less than 17 pounds and boasts an "armored box" design for stunning all-tune tone on the go.
A pair of EL84 tubes deliver 15 watts of power, as two 12AX7 tubes drive the harmonically rich preamp stage to deliver clarity and definition, from chime-like cleans to warm overdrives. A toggle switch lets users select between Pentode or Triode tube operation. In Pentode mode, Night Train delivers a full 15 Watts. In the Triode mode, the power is cut to 7.5 Watts. The Triode mode also relaxes the tube power stage, providing a smoother, mellower tube character.
The Night Train's appearance is as striking as its tone, with a mirrored chrome finish and signature VOX diamond design that not only ventilates the amplifier but provides a striking view of the all-tube circuit within. The front panel controls are clear and simple, offering traditional chicken head pointer knobs for Gain, Volume, Treble, Middle and Bass.
The preamp section features a mode switch, offering both Bright and Thick options. The Bright mode produces an articulate tone that ranges from clean to crunch; the Thick setting bypasses the tone circuit to boost the gain and create a chunkier, heavier sound suited to higher gain applications. Legendary guitar amp builder Tony Bruno played an integral role in the voicing of this new amp.
Equipped with both 8-Ohm and 16-Ohm speaker jacks, the Night Train can be used with nearly any speaker cabinet.

This post is part of our coverage on International Women's Day 2012. We'll be sharing perspectives from around the world on how we can all work together to empower women and girls.
Half the world's population is under the age of 25. Young women have always been leaders in their families, managing households and caring for their family members. Increasingly, young women are taking on leadership roles in the private and public sector. But despite their extraordinary potential, girls and women remain invisible in much of the world. In developing countries, a girl is more likely to be uneducated, a child bride, or exposed to HIV/AIDS than to be an educated professional. Only $.02 of every development aid dollar is directed to girls.
In the past few years, as the Outreach Manager at Women Deliver, I've had the great opportunity to see firsthand the power of young women.
At the Women Deliver 2010 conference, we launched the "100 Young Leaders" program to educate and strengthen advocacy skills of young women and men. The 100 Young Leaders are selected from a pool of 6,000 scholarship applicants and represent 59 different countries, in every region across the globe. What started as a one-day workshop has grown into a community of young, passionate advocates who are dedicated to improving the health and well-being of girls and women around the world.
We must approach this issue with intergenerational respect and open communication to ensure that young women can reach their potential. Young people, when given a voice, can drive change. Their perspective, their experiences, and their willingness to ask tough questions offer the greatest hope for challenging the social norms and decades-old policies that harm girls and women. When young people are engaged, informed, and empowered, they can advocate for themselves and the need to invest in solutions that save the lives of girls and women.
Saba Ismail is one of the Women Deliver 100 Young Global Leaders. She is a powerful testimony to the ability of youth to push boundaries. In her home country, Pakistan, it is considered taboo to talk about sexual and reproductive health, sexuality, and contraception. Saba is working to change these norms and raise awareness among young women through the "Sahailee Hotline," which means "female friend" in Urdu. The hotline provides information about contraception, postpartum hemorrhage, and sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Yunuén Flores, another Women Deliver 100 Young Leader, is the Gender Program Director at Espolea, A.C., an organization in Mexico City that works to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS among young people. At only 25-years-old, Yunuén is combating a culture she calls, "Patriarchal, machista, religious, and full of taboos." Whether she's dressing up as a condom (yep, she's done that!) or handing out contraceptives, Yunuén educates her peers on how to practice safe sex and prevent unwanted pregnancies.
Young leader Hasinihaja Tsiaro Barijaona Raharison lives in Madagascar, where 28 percent of 15 to 19 year olds have already given birth. Tsiaro works to ensure that young people are educated and empowered to talk openly about sex and contraception. Through counseling and outreach, she has educated her peers, healthcare workers, and even army leaders on the importance of women's rights.
In the last year and a half, the Women Deliver 100 Young Leaders have exceeded our expectations in their advocacy efforts. They produced blogs for the Women Deliver website to bring a youth perspective to World Contraception Day, spoke out at international and national events for maternal health, organized national coalitions of youth advocates and activists, and wrote op-eds for their local newspapers and radio stations. At the Women Deliver conference in 2013, we plan to pass the baton and begin working with the next class of Women Deliver 100 Young Leaders. (If you're under 30, you can apply for a scholarship now!)
It's clear that when young women and girls are healthy, educated, and empowered citizens, they can and will break the cycle of poverty for their families, communities, and nations. Let's join together to celebrate girls and women every day by making their health and empowerment a top global priority.

Posted on September 7, 2010 in Tournaments
The Santa Maria Comcast Open, one of the most competitive tournaments on the Central Coast, brings together the Open elite and tennis fanatics.
Everyone is so hyped up on what racquets and shoes the pros are wearing, at the Santa Maria Comcast Open I decided to paparazzi the semi-finalists to see what gear they were working with.
#4 seed, Brett Joelson, currently 318 in the world for doubles and 1256 in singles, used the Head Youtek Speed 18×20. His strength and passion on the court made him a threat to those in his draw. Nevertheless, his Nike Air Court Ballistec 2.3s only got him so far, losing in the semi-finals to champion, Roman Borvanov.
NAIA All-American, Alessandro Ventre, battled to the semi-finals using the original AeroPro Drive. This Brazilian showed he didn't need new technologies to make him a tough competitor. He brought a Nadal-like game and speed to the court wearing the Asics Gel Resolution 2.
USC Trojan Gary Sacks, the #6 seed and currently 1312 in the world, battled up to the finals with his Head Youtek Radical Midplus taking out the #2 and #3 seeds along the way. His one-handed backhand brought beauty to his game while his Nike Lunar Vapor Tours gave him the speed on the court.
Roman Borvanov, the #1 seed and currently 654 in the world, took the tournament with ease using the Yonex RDiS 100 midplus. His game matched his outfit, pristine and untouchable. He wore the Asics Gel Challenger 7, showcasing his perfect footwork that set him up for exemplary shots. His debonair manner on and off the court was a pleasure to watch and talk with.
From what I could tell, most of the men in the tournament weighted their racquets with plenty of lead and strung them up with poly. I'm not sure of the other players, but I heard from a friend that Roman uses Signum Pro Poly-Plasma 17g at 50/51 pounds.
Overall, the players came in with sophisticated fashion and professional attitudes that made it an amazing weekend for tennis.
Peace Sign,

Forget about the woodshed. Dollar Tree has been getting chainsawed.
The discount retailer had been a steady performer since early 2008, rallying more than 500 percent as cash-strapped consumers looked for lower prices. But it's been falling since June, and is down around $39 from the all-time highs over $56.
On Friday, however, the bulls started looking for a rebound. OptionMonster's tracking programs showed the purchase of about 5,000 November 42.50 calls for $0.53 and the sale of an equal number of November 43.75 calls for $0.28.

Oregon RV Alliance Marketing Arm Active
January 17, 2011 by RVBusiness 1 Comment
Reports of the demise of the RV industry in Oregon's Lane County are greatly exaggerated, industry veteran Bradley Waring says, borrowing a line from Mark Twain.
There's no denying that the industry has taken a beating in the economic downturn. Two of the area's major coach companies, Country Coach Inc. and Monaco Coach Corp., were purchased out of bankruptcy and now operate on a much smaller scale, The Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore., reported.
Monaco is a tiny division of multinational Navistar International, and Ron Lee, younger brother of Country Coach cofounder Bob Lee, recently resurrected Country Coach as a sales and service center, with hopes of eventually resuming production. Marathon Coach in Coburg still converts buses into million dollar coaches, but far fewer than in its heyday.
Lane County's transportation equipment manufacturing sector, which has been dominated by the three RV manufacturers, employed 800 people in November, according to the state Employment Department. As recently as 2005, it had employed 4,500 people.
Even without a major manufacturing presence, Lane County still has a deep well of experience and expertise in RV sales, service and support, people in the industry say. They wanted to get the word out to RV owners across the country, so they formed the Oregon RV Alliance, a nonprofit marketing group. On Tuesday, the alliance's founder, Bradley Waring, and several other members boarded a coach headed to the RV resorts near Palm Desert, Calif., where the snowbirds flock.
More than 2,000 snowbirds were expected at the Family Motor Coach Association (FMCA) rally in Indio, Jan. 13 through Jan. 15.
The Lane County delegation in Indio included Waring, former Lane County Commissioner Jerry Rust; Susan Graham, sales manager at Premier RV in Junction City; Meg Trendler, Travel Lane County's tourism sales manager; and Tom Schneider, a retired Guaranty salesman.
Travel Lane County provided 1,200 Lane County Visitor Guides to hand out at the rally, and the Southern Willamette Valley Wineries Association supplied local wines for the delegation to serve as samples.
"We're telling coach owners we're still here," Waring said. "The same people who sold you your coach, the people who serviced your coaches, the manufacturers who have built your coaches are still here."
And while coach owners are having their vehicles serviced, they also can check out all the sights and attractions of Lane County, he said.
"We're going to give them our message of renewal, and we're going to … encourage them to bring their (coaches) back into this community over the spring and summer," Waring said.
This is just the first of many of the alliance's outreach efforts, he said.
Alliance has 30 members
Kurt and Betty Simon already visit Lane County often. The Eugene area is a convenient rest stop between their home in Auburn, Calif., and their children and grandchildren in Seattle and Portland, Kurt Simon said.
The retirees routinely have their 45-foot Monaco Executive serviced at Guaranty RV in Junction City where they bought it several years ago.
Simon said he's not sure whether more RV owners will put Lane County on their itinerary after talking with Oregon RV Alliance members.
"I suspect that people are still staying closer to home," he said.
But the Oregon draw is there, he said. "Motorhomes tend to be mobile anyway, and Oregon is a good place to go. It's a beautiful state."
The alliance already has 30 members, including RV manufacturers, dealerships, service centers, suppliers, local chambers of commerce, community festival organizers and others. Waring predicts it will have at least 200 members by the end of the year.
"I started this movement over Thanksgiving, and, frankly, it's such a sensible idea that I'm having trouble getting around to meet with all the people who want to participate," he said.
Through the '90s and up until 2007, when the local manufacturers were going strong, there was a steady stream of out-of-town coach owners, who dropped by the factories to have their coaches serviced or remodeled, or to take part in motor home rallies.
Many stopped to shop at Guaranty RV in Junction City, formerly the largest RV dealership in the nation — and now the largest one that has managed to stay out of bankruptcy, general manager Shannon Nill said.
He said RV manufacturing has been Junction City's strong suit for years.
"Even though it's down a notch; it's not gone," Nill said.
So he said he was all ears when Waring contacted him about the alliance.
"I thought it was really tremendous that he would take it upon himself to gather up all the quality elements and put a shine on it and find ways to further network and make sure people know we are open for business in Junction City for motor home sales, service and accessories," Nill said.
Some out-of-area coach owners still stop in Lane County, "but with the motor home manufacturing on the downside, there's less and less of a need for them to come to this area," said Rob Dickman, owner of the Les Schwab tire store in Junction City, a longtime supplier to the RV industry.
"By promoting the area, the recreation, the other people who work on motor homes here, and just the beauty of our area, we hope to give them a good excuse to keep coming back here," he said. "They bring a lot of money when they come."
Just filling up a coach's 100-gallon tank, for example, is a nearly $400 expenditure, Waring said.
"If we band together and pitch to those people to come back to our area, it's going to help everybody," Dickman said.
"Attracting RV travelers to the region for service as well as sightseeing is mutually beneficial for the tourism and RV industries," said Lisa Lawton, community relations manager for Travel Lane County. "We're looking forward to connecting with industry leaders and RV travelers one-on-one to tap into this market and ultimately bring more visitors to this region," she said.
More disposable income
Many coach owners have maintained ties with the people who sold and serviced their RVs. But alliance members said they want to cast an even wider net.
Most of the coaches serviced at Oregon Motorcoach Center are from out of the area, operations manager Ed Read said.
The 2-year-old business is owned by Bob Lee, founder of Country Coach, his wife, Terry Lee, and their son-in-law, Patrick Mason.
Oregon Motorcoach was eager to participate in the Oregon RV Alliance's marketing efforts to RV travelers. "We want them to know that there's a reason to be here again," Read said.
Waring founded the alliance after losing his RV-related businesses, his mobile office — a Country Coach — and even his home in the downturn. He said he took "an involuntary sabbatical" from his 15-year career as a nomadic salesman, selling heated flooring and other supplies to major coach makers, and moved to Eugene in March 2009.
"I had all my eggs in the RV basket and I'm starting again," he said. "My wife has been feeding me and giving me gas money."
Recently, Waring has renewed relationships with old friends and associates in the RV industry.
"I'm so passionate about this," he said. "(I want) to bring my friends back to work."
He said he thought for years that the Lane County RV industry should partner more closely with the local tourism agencies to market the area to RV owners.
"This is a group of people who are mobile, they're more affluent than most, they have disposable income that most of us don't have," Waring said.
The idea came into clearer focus over the summer when he volunteered at the front desk of Travel Lane County's new adventure center in Springfield's Gateway area.
Waring said he reached out to former Lane County Commissioner Jerry Rust after reading his campaign paper outlining his economic development ideas.
Rust signed on as the alliance's co-director.
"I think it's an interesting assignment," he said. "I'm happy to go do it — be a cheerleader for Lane County."
Before Rust and his wife, Zhang Yu Cai, boarded the coach Tuesday, he said he had ridden in Georgia-Pacific's helicopter and even in the Goodyear blimp, but he had never ridden in a large RV.
"I've been in little camper outfits, but I don't think I've really ever set foot in one of these monsters," Rust said. "I'm looking forward to it, and I understand how excited the people in Junction City and Coburg must be to see some new life breathing into this industry that a lot of people thought was dead, dead and never would return."
An all-volunteer project
The nonprofit alliance is an all-volunteer project, Waring said. Its sole source of funding is annual membership dues: $500 for charter members and $200 for associate members.
He said he's heartened to see a core group of RV entrepreneurs have survived the downturn and are working to renew the industry.
"It's pretty hard to put an entrepreneur down," he said.
"I just want to inspire people to dust themselves off and pick themselves up and put this behind us," Waring said. "We have everything in the world to offer here."

"From Conservation to Environment: The Sierra Club and the Organizational Politics of Change," Studies in American Political Development 22: 183-203.
In the 1950s, the Sierra Club emerged as a leader of the nascent environmental movement. In challenging a proposal to build two dams within the boundaries of Dinosaur National Monument, the Club found its voice as a public advocate for the preservation of wilderness and in the process introduced a new type of politics to old conflicts over conservation. Born out of the Dinosaur dam conflict was a new environmentalism characterized by confrontation with state authorities and emotion-laden appeals to the public for political support. The Sierra Club's success in pioneering these strategies launched it to the forefront of the new movement, elevated its executive director David Brower to icon status among environmentalists, and affirmed the philosophy of Aldo Leopold as the moral compass of the movement. In this essay, I argue that interest group entrepreneurs ought to be considered alongside institutional actors as agents of change within processes of political development. As the case of the Sierra Club demonstrates, the internal organizational politics of a group can be just as important in establishing a trajectory of political development as are processes of policy feedback.
"The Political Roots of Small Business Identity," Polity 40: 436-463.
A divided and largely hapless small business lobby failed to advocate effectively on behalf of small firms in the post-New Deal era. While interest-group scholars have accepted collective action-based arguments for patterns of under-mobilization, this article challenges conventional wisdom by examining historical and institutional causes of small business political fragmentation. It shows a fractured small business community emerging out of the populist era, and subsequent policy developments institutionalizing divisions and rivalries among competing factions. During the New Deal, when opportunities arose to forge a new consensus among small business groups, policymakers instead followed old scripts and reinforced received identities. Consequently, small business never came to occupy an important space in the post-New Deal political order.
"Political Parties and Changing Patterns of Civic Associationalism" (with Kristi Andersen).
In this paper we argue that reforms which weakened party control over patronage jobs and other incentives and thus encouraged the development of interest group politics also had the effect of altering the associational landscape of the U.S. during the early twentieth century. First we trace the rise of civic associationalism and explore ways in which civic groups used links to political parties to mobilize new recruits. Next we identify changes in the legal context within which parties operated. We suggest that a replacement effect occurred as entrepreneurial organizers and potential members assayed the opportunities available, in this changing context, beginning in the late 1890s and into the early 20th century. Whereas fraternal organizations had comprised most of the new associations in the preceding era, new business, professional and labor groups would begin to outnumber fraternal groups by an increasing margin once the tide of political reform had attenuated the benefits that parties could provide and thus weakened the connections, at the local level, between parties and traditional fraternal groups. This argument is supported by analysis of data on organizations in 14 cities across the U.S. between 1880 and 1920, and by case studies of Milwaukee, Boston, and San Francisco.
"The Price of Advocacy: Mobilization and Maintenance in Advocacy Organizations"
In the late 1960s, growing awareness of environmental issues spurred the creation of scores of new environmental organizations. In the subsequent decade, these groups took part in writing or rewriting nearly all of the nations environmental statutes. The leading advocacy organizations took on different forms: Earth Action followed Senator Gaylord Nelsons (D-WI) lead in trying to organize students on college campuses; the Sierra Club led conservation lobbying efforts in Washington D.C.; and local groups formed coalitions of citizens to clean up their towns and neighborhoods. Some local groups, such as the Environmental Defense Fund, grew beyond their particular issue to become active on wide-ranging national environmental issues. One particularly influential advocacy organization was the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). Of all the groups that emerged out of the environmental fervor of the late 1960s, none surpassed the NRDC in scope, effectiveness, or importance in establishing guidelines for environmental protection. Soon after being founded in 1970, NRDC established itself as the leading environmental litigation organization in the country and its lawsuits both clarified and expanded the regulatory scope of federal authority. The NRDC story provides a window into one of the central questions of the study of interest groups: how does the political environment, coupled with the material and normative motives of advocacy organization entrepreneurs, influence the supply of advocacy? This essay examines the formation of NRDC, the development of its organizational structure, and its relationship with other similar environmental organizations. It deploys the NRDC case study in pursuit of an alternative theoretical formulation of the collective action problem facing advocacy organizations. It borrows theoretical constructs from theories of firm behavior to advance our understanding of advocacy organization behavior.

CVC Central 2007 Highlights: Investigating proteinuric kidney disease
Also consider that one cause of false positive urine protein results on a dipstick test is alkaline urine. And a false positive result may occur with a turbidometric test performed by a diagnostic laboratory if a patient has recently received penicillins, cephalosporins, sulfonamides, or radiographic contrast agents.
If the second sample shows proteinuria, perform a urine protein/creatinine ratio to determine the extent of protein loss in the urine.ASSESSING URINE PROTEIN/CREATININE RATIOS
Urine protein/creatinine ratios < 0.2 in dogs and cats indicate normal urine protein loss, while those between 0.2 and 0.5 in dogs and 0.2 and 0.4 in cats indicate borderline proteinuria and necessitate assessing the patient's kidney function. If the results are normal, recheck the urine in a few months.
Urine protein/creatinine ratios that are > 0.5 in dogs and > 0.4 in cats necessitate a more thorough work-up. Ratios > 3 may indicate glomerular disease. With lower abnormal ratios, also consider nonglomerular pathology, such as hypertension, hyper adrenocorticism, or renal tubule defects.
Nonazotemic patients with ratios > 2, azotemic dogs with ratios > 0.5, and azotemic cats with ratios > 0.4 warrant treatment. In patients with substantial proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia may occur.
If a more thorough work-up is indicated, perform a serum chemistry profile to evaluate albumin, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and cholesterol concentrations and liver enzyme activities and a complete blood count to detect any abnormalities consistent with an infectious or inflammatory process. Additional blood testing may be needed to rule out heartworm disease, tick-borne illnesses, and hyperadrenocorticism.
Urine bacterial culture and sensitivity testing are also warranted, especially in patients with dilute urine concentrations. Test cats for feline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus infections if their status is unknown. Since hypertension can be closely associated with proteinuria and many of the diseases that cause it, be sure to obtain serial blood pressure measurements. Thoracic and abdominal radiographic or ultrasonographic examinations may also yield important information. Obtaining kidney biopsy samples may be helpful in some patients. And certain breeds may be predisposed to familial kidney diseases, so it's important to research this possibility as well.
Over time, marked proteinuria can lead to severe hypoalbuminemia and edema, hypercoagulopathy, and progressive kidney disease. High levels of proteinuria can be directly nephrotoxic—so it's important to treat these patients. Switching to a renal diet may reduce albumin loss in the urine but should not reduce the serum albumin concentration. So be sure to monitor serum albumin concentrations and the patient's weight and muscle and coat condition.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors play a major role in treating proteinuria. A 50% reduction in urine protein/creatinine ratios indicates improvement. Patients must be monitored carefully to ensure that kidney function does not worsen while they are receiving these medications.
Patients with hypertension may require additional treatment. The anticoagulant and antiplatelet effects of low-dose aspirin can also be beneficial in preventing thrombotic events. And, of course, if during your work-up an underlying infectious or noninfectious condition is found to be causing immune-mediated mechanisms leading to kidney damage, direct your therapies toward eliminating that condition, if possible. Although of unproven value in managing proteinuria in dogs and cats, omega-3 fatty acid supplementation may be considered to reduce intraglomerular pressure and inflammation.

NEW DELHI - Eight people died on Tuesday in northern India when a rescue helicopter helping flood relief efforts crashed near a pilgrimage site, the air force announced.
"The eight persons on board including five crew members sustained fatal injuries" in the crash near Gaurikund in the state of Uttarakhand, said a statement sent to AFP.
The helicopter, a Russian-made Mi-17, was flying a rescue mission in the state where more than 1,000 people have been killed in flash floods and landslides.
The military is leading efforts to evacuate some 6,000 pilgrims and tourists still stranded throughout the state since the floods hit on June 15.
Raging rivers swept away houses, buildings and even entire villages in the state, which was packed with travellers in what is a peak tourist season.
More than 1,000 bridges have been damaged along with roads, cutting off villages and towns.
Gerard Galway, a spokesman for the air force in Uttarakhand, told AFP that the reasons for the crash were being investigated.
About 60 air force helicopters are being used in the rescue efforts.

This part of the year is such a busy time for us with Lincoln and Max's birthdays only two weeks apart. So when it comes to their parties I generally start planning months in advance, which means when they'e all over I get such a great feeling of satisfaction!
For Max's dinosaur party we packed everything we needed into our little car and drove three hours up the coast to Sean's parents place. Max's big request this year was to have his party at his Nona's place. A lot of our friends (and their kids) live up in Hervey Bay so it made sense to us and we granted his sweet little wish :).
Way back when I first started planning his party I came across these dinosaur cookie cutters and fell in love. I suggested a dino party to Max and was so excited when he said yes! I saved all my inspiration and ideas on Pinterest and am so happy with how it all ended up coming together. Shortly after we had everything set up and ready to go it started to rain so we had a quick relocation from the garden to the house, it was still perfect though. A fun day was had by all, especially Max who absolutely loved being the centre of attention for the day!

There are a lot of different sounds interspersed throughout Rihanna's latest album Unapologetic - and a lot of them may even sound a little familiar.
You'll hear pop, R&B;, reggae, old school sounds, dubstep, and you may even think you've heard the lyrics or the music before.
Jump has Ginuwine's Pony lyrics incorporated, What Now reminds me a tad of John Farnam's The Voice when it gets into the chorus, Nobody's Business featuring Chris Brown obviously has a Michael Jackson theme to it and the song Love Without Tragedy sounds like it has sampled Message in a Bottle by The Police.
However, there is a fresh sound to the album too.
Overall, it's a solid set of tracks and there are some welcome surprises.
In the past I've enjoyed the upbeat, sexually-charged songs she's known for but this time, I'm more partial to the songs that have a fresh sound for the star.
Of course, we still get the "I don't give a damn and I'll embrace my sexuality if I like" Rihanna we all love. However, we also get introduced to a raw, softer side, particularly on Stay and Mother Mary, the second half of a two-part track which starts with Love Without Tragedy.
Unapologetic is Rihanna's seventh album in seven years and she still seems to have plenty to work with. She's still pumping out good music and I hope she continues to.
I wonder when she's going to slow down - but if her track Right Now is anything to go by, I'd say she's making the most of the present.

In accordance with MA DEP's Water Management Act Permit issued to MassDevelopment, a mandatory water restriction is to be placed in affect whenever the USGS local stream gauge #01096500 — Nashua River at East Pepperell is below a specified trigger point for three consecutive days.
The reading yesterday was below the threshold and had been for three consecutive days and so we are now required to institute water use restrictions.
Signage has been posted at the entrances to Devens. Nonessential water use will be restricted from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and that usage includes:
- Irrigation of lawns via sprinklers or automatic irrigation systems.
- Washing of vehicles, except in a commercial car wash or as necessary for operator safety.
- Washing of external building surfaces, parking lots, driveways or sidewalks, except as necessary to apply surface treatments such as paint, preservatives, stucco, pavement or cement.
The river gauge readings must be above the threshold for seven consecutive days before the restriction can be lifted. At that time, the signage will be removed. For more information, call 978-784-2931 or 978-784-2911 for more information.

2013 Chevrolet COPO Camaro Pricing Announced
- COPO Camaro starts at $86,000
- Three engines offered, up to 425 hp
- Production limited to 69 units
The 2013 Chevrolet COPO Camaro will be priced from $86,000 when it goes on sale later this year. That's the latest from Chevrolet, who recently announced the return of the drag-tuned COPO Camaro after a low-volume production run for 2012.
While that may sound like big money for a Camaro, the COPO trim level is no ordinary Camaro. Instead, it's built to compete at NHRA drag racing events. That means in addition to spartan interior fittings with no rear seats, the COPO Camaro boasts a solid rear axle and an NHRA-mandated roll cage. It also boasts huge rear tires to improve traction off the line.
Of course, the COPO Camaro also packs a major punch under the hood. According to Chevrolet, three engines are available. The least-powerful model uses a 325-horsepower 5.3-liter V8. One level above, the mid-level COPO Camaro offers a 375-horsepower 6.5-liter V8. Topping the range is a wild 7.0-liter V8 that produces a muscular 425 horses.
That's a bit different from the 2012 COPO Camaro, which offered the 7.0-liter V8 and two supercharged 5.3-liter mills. Another difference is the transmission: while last year's model only offered a race-ready "Powerglide" automatic, the latest COPO Camaro boasts an available four-speed manual.
According to Chevrolet, just 69 units of the 2013 COPO Camaro will be built. That pays tribute to the original COPO Camaro, then a 1969 model whose name stood for "Central Office Production Order." Like today, the '69 COPO Camaro was the wildest of them all, boasting up to 435 horsepower and an available four-speed transmission.
Due to its low production volume, the COPO Camaro will be difficult for buyers to find. Chevrolet will use a lottery system to pick 69 lucky shoppers. They can then elect to purchase the Camaro, choosing an engine, a transmission, and one of the coupe's five available colors.
Once all is done and the $86,000-plus price tag is paid, buyers can take delivery with one caveat: the COPO Camaro isn't street-legal and can't be registered. That will restrict its use to a high-performance toy for wealthy drag racing fans.
What it means to you: The limited-production 2013 Chevrolet COPO Camaro will be one of the fastest factory-built cars on any drag strip.

Get a Website Built
Budget £250-750 GBP
Hello, I am looking for help to design and build 3 websites from scratch. The website will look like an independent website to post reviews, but it will be passively promoting my company, whilst degrading my competitors. I do not have any design plans as such and will need help to make the website look appealing and authentic. The website will need around 10 pages and once built may need SEO to ensure it will appear in search engines when my company is googled. Each website will need around 10 pages and will need to be user friendly. The purpose of these websites is when individuals search my company, upon coming across one of these independent review sites they gain the confidence to work with my company. Each website will need around 10 pages, but whilst the design may vary slightly between website, the content will not be too different and will be something that I will be able to manage myself. I need someone who is prepared to work closely with me with lots of feedback and the ability to bring creative ideas to the table.
