Police Vehicles: EcoBoost Utility Performs Well During TestingPosted in News on January 7, 2014
The Fuzz. The Five-O. The Cops. Whatever your nickname of choice may be, all of us with custom rides are keenly aware of the presence of police. We've all played the speed-up-slow-down-turn-here game to avoid police encounters – encounters perceived or imminent. We know the streets to avoid and have stories of confrontation with authority. While the police normally pay diligent attention to what we drive, let's reverse it and pay attention to what they drive by looking at some recent test results, even if it is just for the sake of knowing what to look for in the rear view mirror. How do today's police vehicles stack up against each other?
Things have sure changed a lot since Ford first introduced police service models in 1950. From the Crown Victoria introduced in 1983 to the new sedan (Taurus) and utility (Explorer) Police Interceptor vehicles introduced in 2012, technology has transformed these vehicles into technologically advanced mobile command powerhouses. Most recently in 2013, the 3.5L EcoBoost was added as a powerful option, as was a fuel-efficient 2.0L EcoBoost non-pursuit sedan. The Ford fleet seems to be setting a trend among police agencies because of its intelligent all-wheel-drive system and because of the spacious SUV utility option. Los Angeles Sheriff Department (LASD) certification tests recently showed that performance and handling don't need to be sacrificed for the added space and versatility of the all-wheel drive utility Explorer.
The LASD testing also showed off the assets of the all-wheel drive sedan 2014 Ford Police Interceptor equipped with an EcoBoost, as it outperformed its V8 competitors with a 0-100 mph time of 14.2 seconds compared to the all-wheel drive 5.7-liter V8 Hemi Dodge Charger (15.2 seconds) and 6.0-liter V8 Chevrolet Caprice (14.4 seconds). Agility and handling also resulted in the EcoBoost sedan having a 0.7-second faster average lap time advantage over the Caprice and 0.9-second advantage over the Dodge Charger.
Results for the all-wheel drive Police Interceptor EcoBoost utility also proved it quicker and more nimble than its 5.3-liter V8 Chevrolet Tahoe competition. The EcoBoost utility went 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds compared to the Tahoe's 8.5 seconds, and 0-100 mph in 18.3 seconds compared to the Tahoe's 26.4 seconds. On the road course, the EcoBoost was 6.1 seconds faster per average lap than the Tahoe. Interestingly, the Ford Police Interceptor utility police vehicle now represents 60 percent of Ford police vehicle sales, showing the SUV's popularity.
While the EcoBoost Ford Police Interceptor vehicles may be able to boast a little in some of the numbers categories, Chevrolet and its Police Patrol Vehicles (PPV) have some accolades of their own, for example, the Caprice PPV's top speed of 154 mph and the Impala PPV's largest trunk volume. On the horizon, and teased now as a concept, is the 2015 Chevy Tahoe PPV. Adorned with emergency lighting, police equipment, enhanced safety features, and full-pursuit capabilities in addition to everything else the redesigned Tahoe will offer, this 5.3L SUV should be a fine machine for police use.
What do the police in your area drive? Is it an Impala, Caprice, or Tahoe? Or a Taurus or Explorer? Or Charger? Would these vehicles outperform yours? (Not that you'd ever test that!) Have you noticed an increase in police SUV vehicles in your area?

Well, that didn't take long....
4 comments:
Have to admit, I'm unbuzzed about that as well. Hopefully Garrosh will just be the mechanism to get us there and we'll ... deal with him early and conclusively and move on from there to a fresh storyline.ReplyDeleteReplies
Sounds like he's the catalyst, but I simply can't wrap my brain around the why of it. If we're going back in time to when Draenor was a planet before it blew up and became Outland, why not get there before Garrosh gets there?Delete
I'd personally prefer The Burning Legion right now.
With the caveat that I'm kind of confused about the time travel (or lack thereof, I believe Blizzard specifically mentioned that this won't be a time travel expansion) nature of things that are coming, I have a theory.Delete
Garrosh WAS able to time travel back to a pristine Draenor and was able to avert the corruption. The time spent since then, until today, the Orcs have been banding together and preparing for Garrosh's revenge against the combined Alliance and Horde forces that usurped him. He isn't looking to undermine anything, he wants us to come together and do what we did so he can then come back in a few months and kick our asses. So, for US, we're fighting today... we don't have the ability to time travel (individually or especially as a group) so when we go through the new portal, we're going back to the current reality there which is that Draenor survived.
At least, I think that's where it's probably going... and that nicely sidesteps the "fine, we'll get there 5 minutes earlier and gank Garrosh in the back while he's on his way to the meeting" plot hole. IF we can time travel, we SHOULD do exactly that. So, to keep us from having that option, it logically means that we won't be able to time travel.
I expect the "alternate universe" idea is one that they're going with. Like I said in another post, they obviously read the comics to come up with that one.Delete

Suppose I have a loop form (using the loop facility) and within it is a do clause, and within the do clause is a let form, and somewhere deep within the let form are two collect clauses (like COLLECT .. INTO ..), except it's not a legal syntax to put collect clauses or any clauses in those positions. What are my options in this case?
If it were just one collect clause, I could instead put the entire let form inside a collect clause. Things seem tricky when there are two collect clauses.
I could turn the two collect clauses into two push forms but then I would be sort of reinventing the loop facility's collect feature.

The Great Bonac Fireworks Show Fireworks show, with pyrotechnics by the Grucci company and sponsored by the Clamshell Foundation, will go off over Three Mile Harbor on July 21.
The show is supported solely by donations, which are still being sought. They can be pledged through the Clamshell Foundation Web site, clamshellfoundation.org, or sent to the organization at P.O. Box 2725, East Hampton 11937.
Rossetti Perchik, the foundation's founder, said that Grucci's "national-class" show — just one step below the fireworks company's top, world-class work — will begin at approximately 9:30 p.m. and last at least 20 minutes. A simulcast of classical music, to which the show is choreographed, will be broadcast on WBAZ 102.5 FM.
This will be the 32nd year of the fireworks, which originated as a fund-raiser for the now-defunct Boys Harbor camp, a summer haven for inner-city youth that was established by Anthony Drexel Duke on his property along the harbor. In the early days, the late George Plimpton was the show's M.C., sharing his enthusiasm for fireworks as a unique art form.
When Boys Harbor dropped the midsummer event, enjoyed not only by guests at its fund-raisers but by people all around and on boats in the harbor, Mr. Perchik took up the cause, raising money to continue the show.
Money raised above and beyond the cost of the fireworks is used to support a variety of "community-based, community-supported" initiatives, Mr. Perchik said. Since its establishment in 1991, the Clamshell Foundation has made annual $1,000 book scholarship grants to graduating East Hampton High School seniors, supported the food pantries at nine different East Hampton churches, and assisted the East Hampton Town Trustees with shellfish seeding, among other projects.
This year, Mr. Perchik said, the group hopes to provide money for Three Mile Harbor water quality initiatives, such as, perhaps, offering financial incentives to homeowners to replace aging septic systems that could be polluting surface waters around the harbor.
Other projects at hand, Mr. Perchik said, include a revival of a January chili cook-off contest, and, in September 2013, "It Came Out of the Bay," a festival celebrating local seafood.
Before that, the Clamshell Foundation will host its annual Sandcastle Contest at Amagansett's Atlantic Avenue Beach, this year on Aug. 4.
On the night of the Great Bonac Fireworks, members of the East Hampton High School Kiwanis Key Club will fan out to collect tax-deductible donations from viewers on beaches ringing the harbor. And, said Mr. Perchik, a "mini-flotilla" of floating volunteers will visit boats in Three Mile Harbor on both July 20 and 21 to request contributions from those planning to enjoy the pyrotechnics show.
Andrra, a restaurant at the Harbor Marina off Gann Road, facing the harbor, will host a fund-raiser for the Clamshell Foundation during the fireworks, with options to include dinner and an outdoor party. Details can be obtained from the restaurant.
Although the Clamshell Foundation has been responsible for the fireworks for the last few years, Mr. Perchik said he has few photos of the show, or of people on beaches or at parties enjoying the festivities. He would welcome them for the organization's future use. They can be sent to Mr. Perchik via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Excerpts follow from Lee Gomes' interview with Logitech Chief Executive Gerald Quindlen on his "Big Deal." "Last November we announced a large acquisition, our largest ever. A company called Lifesize Communications; it's based in Austin, Texas, and it's a video conferencing company. It was about a $400 million all-cash deal, which by an order of magnitude was the biggest that Logitech had ever done." Later Quindlen continues, "We believed that we had a pretty bold vision about where video communication was going. We weren't looking to simply add incrementally to the business we already had--where we dominate PC-to-PC calling with webcams."

Bow tie
A bow tie can be used for anything a tie can be used for, even though some think it's more formal than a tie and can only be used for formal events and occasions. It's mainly due to the connection with "black tie" where you wear an evening dress or dinner jacket with a black bow tie. But there are also other bow ties than the black one and they can be used for a more casual look. It can be the color or the fabric that gives the bow tie a more casual look. A bow tie in wool together with a knit and shirt gives a very casual look.
A bow tie is slowly becoming a part of the everyday outfit, and a lot of people would now rather use a bow tie than a necktie, when they're wearing a shirt and blazer. The bow ties old reputation as only being a part of formal events and occasion is changing and becoming more and more casual.
How to tie a bow tie
Some people are scared of a bow tie if it's a self-tie bow tie. And some of them feel that a bow tie is harder to tie than a tie, but that's not completely correct. All you have to do is to learn and practice. We have guide on how to tie a bow tie, so there is no excuse in not trying.

"In the sure and steady hands of a writer at the peak of his power, it is an achingly beautiful journey. There is a sorrowful beauty to the strong, poetic language. Despite the savage reality of the revelations, there is a peacefulness, a maturity of vision that is a pure gift to the reader." —The Washington Post
"It is clear that in these vivid, intersecting worlds of nature and language, Lane has found true self-expression and a certain transcendence from the pain he seems destined to carry with him always." —Seattle Times
"What the Stones Remember is a dark and beautiful memoir. Lane, ever the poet, exudes an elegance in his writing even when describing brutality." —Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"At once courageous, honest, and uplifting, this book of wisdom and wonder should be savored." —Library Journal
"The sort of memoir you will leave open beside a favorite chair, and you will read it, I think, with long pauses to savor the beauty of the language and to reflect on its relevance for your own journey." —The Globe and Mail
"To read this book is to enter a state of enchantment." —Alice Munro
"Patrick Lane has written a memoir of heartbreaking struggle that manages to be beautiful and encouraging, finding anchorage in what was once called Creation, the natural world and its unstinting promise of renewal." —Thomas McGuane
"A tough, lovely book." —Margaret Atwood
"There are scenes in this book so terrifyingly beautiful they take your breath away. Patrick Lane guides us across a grueling landscape with a steady hand. This is a tremendous contribution by an author at the peak of his power." —Alistair MacLeod
"This is the best book I've read in a decade. Here is a classic memoir, wrought in prose as beautiful as the natural world that is his obsession and salvation." —Guy Vanderhaeghe
"This is a record of recovery. Of a life, nearly lost, out of the dark into memory; of spiritual wholeness through a poet's attentiveness, season after season, to his garden—a real one. Only a writer of Patrick Lane's savage but forgiving vision could accomplish both in the same breath, and with such breathtaking beauty and power." —David Malouf

Notre Dame (3-1) faces the Purdue Boilermakers (2-1, 0-0 Big Ten) Saturday at West Lafayette at Ross-Ade Stadium. The game will be broadcast at on ESPN at 8 PM EST.
The Fighting Irish triumphed over the Pittsburgh Panthers 15-12 last week. By a score of 59-0 The
Boilermakers handily routed the Southeast Missouri State Redhawks.
In their meeting last season Purdue fell to the Fighting Irish 23-12 in the season opener. This game also marked Kelly's first win as an Irish coach.
The interstate rivalry dates back to 1869 when Purdue and Notre Dame first faced one another. The winner of this battle of Indiana is awarded the highly prized Shillelagh Trophy. The Fighting Irish lead this series 54-26-2. The series has been highlighted by many great games. In 1950 Purdue beat the Irish to put an end to the school's 39 game unbeaten streak. The #1 ranked Boilermakers routed the #2 ranked Fighting Irish 37-22 in another memorable game.
Yet again this week ladies and gentleman is your Notre Dame football preview…
Notre Dame Offense
Tommy Reese turned in a very pedestrian performance against Pittsburgh. He threw for 216 yards with one touchdown and one interception. His day was rather lackluster until the final drive in the fourth quarter that saw Rees go 8/8 and throw the game winning touchdown. Rees leads a team ranked 49th in the nation in overall offense.
Star WR Michael Floyd had a quiet day as well. He only caught four passes for 27 yards. Despite his performance Floyd is ranked eighth in the country with 8.75 catches a game. TE Tyler Eiffert had a career day 75 yards receiving and the game winning touchdown catch. Notre Dame's passing offense is ranked 38th in the nation.
Cierre Wood is on a tear gaining 96 yards last week. Jonas Gray added 84 yards and his first touchdown this season in the winning effort. Currently the team is 58th in the country in rushing.
The Irish still continue to turn the ball over. The team committed two turnovers against Pittsburgh tying them with Tulsa for the most in the country at 15. Ten of those turnovers were fumbles. Notre Dame must limit its mistakes against Purdue to have a chance to win.
Another dismal area is Notre Dame's Special Teams. The Fighting Irish punting team are ranked in the bottom ten in three separate categories. They could easily be one of the worst squads in the country.
Notre Dame Defense
Coach Brian Kelly feels very confident about his squad. "So they are progressing. We have got a good influx of veterans with young players that have given us very good depth. To me, the most important thing is to get our defense to championship level. We're not there yet but we are on the right road."
The defense has definitely stepped up. It has allowed one touchdown or less in the last seven of eight games dating back to last year.
DE Aaron Lynch was a standout against the Panthers leading the team with six quarterback hurries last week. He also has two sacks in the last two games. The defense as a whole netted 6 sacks last week. That was the highest number for a Notre Dame squad since 2005. Darius Fleming also registered two sacks against the Panthers.
Notre Dame is ranked 25th in stopping the run (2.9 yard a carry) and 82nd in pass defense. The squad looks to improve upon its five turnovers this season.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish show they can win ugly as well as lose ugly games
Perdue Offense
The Boilermaker offense will be run through two quarterbacks in Caleb Terbush and Robert Marve. Terbush is the number one quarterback on the depth chart. He completed 14 of 17 passes for 143 yards in the rout of Southeast Mississippi State. a Perdue's passing attack is ranked 73rd in the nation.
The vaunted rushing attack is ranked tenth in the nation. Junior RB Akeem Shavers ran roughshod over the Redhawks for 75 yards and 2 TDs. Running Backs Ralph Bolden and Akeem Hunt each rushed for over 50 yards and two scores. The corps combined for 400 yards on the ground and 7 rushing touchdowns last week.
Senior WR Justin Siller is the go to receiver for the Bollermakers catching 14 balls for 138 yards on the season. Antavian Edison is another target as well for Terbush and Marve recording a touchdown and 137 receiving yards.
Purdue Defense
The defense is ranked respectfully 45th against the run and 93rd against the pass. CB Ricardo Allen is assigned this week to stop Michael Floyd.
The Notre Dame defense has proven strong against the pass and the run. The Purdue offense is formidable but has only played against third and fourth tier opponents. The Fighting Irish offense should be able to score with Wood and Floyd having big games. The Irish's most dangerous opponent is themselves and their propensity for turnovers. Look for the Irish to play tough and limit its turnovers and penalties in an easy victory.
Notre Dame 30 Purdue 10

Mike Pelfrey: Stopper.
That's what Pelfrey has become to the Mets in his emergence as a dominant pitcher, as four of his seven victories have come on the heels of a Mets' loss.
Pelfrey will attempt to stop the bleeding tonight in the wake of the Padres' torching the Mets' staff for 18 runs on 19 hits last night. Pelfrey (7-1, 2.54 ERA) will be seeking to win his fourth straight start; he threw seven scoreless innings in a shutout of Philadelphia last Thursday.
"I think your job is to put up zeros,'' said Pelfrey, in seven of his 10 starts has given up two or fewer runs.
Lifetime, Pelfrey is 1-0 with a 4.08 ERA in three starts against San Diego.

For the last few months I've been dreaming about launching my own web series "Cooking Secrets of a Single Girl". On September 2nd, that dream will become a reality!
I've partnered with 95Forty Productions to professionally produce and edit my web series and could not be more excited to begin shooting with them this week!
When the series launches on Monday, September 2nd, a new "Cooking Secret" segment will be released every day of the week Monday through Friday, with each day having it's own "theme".
- Meatless Mondays are a vegetarians dream come true! I'll start off each week featuring "meatless" cooking segments and tips, including the secret to creating the perfect veggie burger and tips on how to pick the best seasonal produce!
- Taco Tuesdays are all about my passionate love for the traditional mexican tortilla dish that can be prepared with so many fillings, so many ways, the possibilities are really endless! September's "Taco Tuesday" segments are chalk full of gems including Mini Beef and Bacon Tacos, Apricot Dessert Tacos and Waffle Breakfast Tacos!
- Wheatless Wednesdays are dedicated to my gluten-free fans! I'll be giving tips on how to cook and eat gluten free while also demonstrating how to prepare delectable gluten-free recipes! Look for the secret to creating homemade gluten free breadcrumbs (without bread!), my favorite gluten-free swaps and much more coming this September!
- Thirsty Thursdays, it's nearing the end of the week and we're all getting a little thirsty for the weekend! Whether it's a delicious craft cocktail or a healthy green juice, I'll be blending, mixing, shaking and stirring our way through Thursdays!
- It's Freaking Friday is the wildcard of the week! Maybe I'm ready to dig into a juicy burger or scrumptious steak, maybe the sweet tooth is calling for some delicious Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies, maybe it's been "one of those weeks" and I'll follow up Thirsty Thursday with another cocktail recipe, because it's Freaking Friday and I can! You never know what you're going to get on Freaking Friday and that's the fun of it!
I want to hear from you! Do you have a question about eating gluten free or would you like a recommendation for a simple gluten free substitute, tweet me! I'll be answering your questions in upcoming segments of "Cooking Secrets of a Single Girl"!
Do you have a favorite Little Leopard Book recipe that you'd like to have an instructional video to go along with? Let me know on our Facebook page! I want to prepare the dishes that you want to see made! Do you have an ingredient that you'd like to see me whip into a dish? Tell me what it is!
Would you like to see a fun, yet informative video on how to chop onions, boil chicken, make your own ketchup? Please comment below and let me know!
While I love making these videos, it's really all about you! I want to host a web series that you want to watch because it's fun and personable, but most of all, because it teaches you a new secret about cooking in every segment!
One segment each week will be hosted on location at restaurants, farmers markets, grocery stores etc. Do you own a bar, restaurant, food truck or other business that you think would be perfect for filming a "Cooking Secret of a Single Girl" segment at? Send us an e-mail via our contact form!
Do you have a product that you would like featured in upcoming Little Leopard Book recipes, as well as highlighted on "Cooking Secrets of a Single Girl" segments? Contact us for more information about partnering up!

Awhile back I was commissioned to do some illustration work for a rather peculiar video game for the SONY Vita called Frobisher Says. The brainchild of Richard Hogg and indie developer Honeyslug, Frobisher Says involves playing through a fast-paced sequence of minigames at the command of the titular character. It's hard to explain, so I suggest watching the appropriately bizarre commercial for the game here:
The first one involves running through Frobisher's Mansion and finding friends from your Playstation network and leading them to Frobisher's hot tub.
The second one is a slot machine game, with an unusual twist… I won't spoil it for you!
The last one, my favorite, is called "Stir My Soups", and involves rotating the thumb joysticks in the required (usually alternate) direction as Frobisher's crazy eyes spin around and around.
The game was originally only available in Europe, but I just found out it will be available in the US as of October 23rd! And best of all, it's free! So if you have a Vita, make sure to grab your free copy.

Announcing: New Web-Based Surveys!
SHEEO is excited to announce that our State Authorization Surveys are now offered through a fully online, web-based platform! Check out the new site of the SHEEO State Authorization Surveys today.
SHEEO State Authorization Survey
SHEEO provides a directory of agencies and individuals responsible for implementing state postsecondary quality assurance laws in the 50 U.S. States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, as well as a compendium of state laws and regulations. These resources were originally developed in 2011 close cooperation with NCHEMS, the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems, whose Vice President Peter Ewell had led previous surveys of both state regulatory practices for postsecondary instruction, and of the cooperative relationships of states with accrediting associations. In 2014, SHEEO worked in collaboration with Pearson to develop a new web-based platform for the reporting and updating of survey data, which is now available for public use.
SHEEO State Authorization Survey and Reports
State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA)
The State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) establishes a state-level reciprocity process that supports national efforts to increase the educational attainment by making state authorization of postsecondary institutions more efficient, effective, and uniform in regard to necessary and reasonable standards of practice across states; more effective in dealing with quality and integrity issues; and less costly for states and institutions and, thereby, the students they serve.
SARA is administered by the four regional education compacts (Midwestern Higher Education Compact, New England Board of Higher Education, Southern Regional Education Board, and the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education), who are now accepting applications for participation from states in their regions. SARA is voluntary for states and institutions; once states are approved, they can begin to enroll eligible institutions. Application for institutional membership (in approved states) is open to accredited, degree-granting postsecondary institutions from all sectors.
For comprehensive information on SARA, please visit the website of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA), the national organization responsible for coordinating the efforts of the four regional education compacts.
For more information on the history and development of SARA, please visit The Commission on Regulation of Postsecondary Distance Education page.
Additional Resources on State Authorization
SHEEO staff have gathered external resources on several additional aspects of State Authorization – Webinars, Federal Regulations, Reciprocity, Distance Education, and Accreditation – and created the following page of annotated links to allow consolidated access to this set of information.

We like the idea of a surfer, because of the chaotic medium in which they move, and because what we do is similar: trying to adapt to different situations, not fearing to fall. The waves represent the dynamic and caotic challenges we have to overcome. We like logos like silhouettes, it can be a surfer in action or maybe just walking with the board, like waiting for action. We'd love if there are just a few colors. We don't necessarily want a palm tree in the logo but we are open to suggestions.
Don't want: we would like to avoid references to mechanical/industrial/technological stuff because we want to focus on people interactions and dynamics, not technology.
We plan to use the logo in our web site, stationary and merchandise, so it should be simple in terms of colors and composition.

Anyway, I don't think that such a list exists. Why do you need this list? You already know the 'rule' so you can apply it to words like 'interview' and 'internet' if you wish to do so.
Edit. Come to think of it, this 'rule' you mention does not apply to all words. A speaker of American English would not drop the 't' in 'ontology' and 'intimate'. For some reason I can imagine an American omitting the 't' in 'international' but not in 'intimate'.

The Caperton Years: 1993-1997
Remarks by Governor Gaston Caperton
Veterans Memorial Dedication
November 11, 1995
Remarks by Governor Gaston Caperton
To our distinguished guests, to Senator Rockefeller, to our Congressmen Bob Wise, Nick Joe Rahall and Alan Mollohan, to our men and women in uniform and their families, to our veterans, to my fellow West Virginians.
I am honored to share with each of you this special Veterans Day Ceremony when we dedicate this magnificent Veterans memorial. In front of this Capitol stands a statue of President Abraham Lincoln. No words could better express our thoughts and feelings today than those immortal words he spoke at the Gettysburg address:
"From these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from this earth."
As Lincoln so eloquently said, it is the soldier above all who has paid the price for our peace and freedom. It is, thus, fitting that we in West Virginia, whose men and women have demonstrated such remarkable patriotism, should dedicate this monument as a memorial to the West Virginia soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifices.
As I looked at each individual name etched on the wall of the memorial, some 10,197 in total, I am reminded that the dedication, courage, patriotism of each of these men and women was born and nurtured in a very special West Virginia way - in our families and communities, in our places of worship, and in our schools.
From these West Virginia hills come a remarkable people.
Let us tell the nation this November 11 that West Virginia's 10,197 men and women who died for their country and West Virginia's veterans made a difference and we are deeply proud of them.
As we dedicate this monument, we will never forget the pain of loss. But in the darkness, we see light. Each veteran we honor today makes us proud to be a West Virginian, proud to be an American. Our nation faces many internal and international crises that will determine our history. Greed and hatred are still with us today, torching our vision of a free and powerful America. But we must continue our battle with a deeply rooted hope and belief in a brighter tomorrow.
Let us pray that we will never again have to erect more monuments in tribute to sacrificed loved ones. Let us hope the words of the Psalm will ring true: "The Lord will give strength unto his people. The Lord will give his people the blessing of peace."
This is the enduring message of our West Virginia Veterans Memorial.
The building of this prominent and meaningful tribute to veterans has been a difficult and demanding campaign, taking 10 years to complete with the painstaking responsibility of raising $2.8 million.
Time does not permit me to honor all the men and women listed in your program who held the vision of this monument close and played a role in its completion. People such as West Virginia's very own P. Joseph Mullins, whose breath-taking design and artistry will forever stand tall on our Capitol grounds. People such as Jim Altmeyer, who first chaired this monumental effort. People such as our most esteemed Senator Robert C. Byrd, who could not be with us today.
I would like to thank all of you, but time does not allow. I would like to honor eight individuals with the highest honor* a governor can bestow for their efforts well above the call of duty - heroic efforts befitting this most heroic day.
Kyle Workman - For years, this Veterans Memorial has been Kyle's holy passion, as he himself describes it. Not only has he sacrificed much as a Vietnam veteran, but he has sacrificed many years of his life caring for this project. I know it is a personal victory for him to realize this day and we honor you, Kyle, for your unending commitment.
Patty Ferrell Workman - Patty not only is married to the Veterans Memorial's executive director, she has been married to this project, as well. She has never received an ounce of compensation for her archival work and general assistance.
Herbert Jones - When this project began to falter, we knew it would take one of West Virginia's best to make it a success. Herbert Jones' leadership abilities are well known and equally important. He has a profound devotion to our veterans. This monument today reflects the pride and soul of Herbert Jones. Herbert, you have our deep appreciation.
Dick Northup - Dick was our fund drive co-chair and his diligence, focus and efficiency really were the glue that held this project together. We appreciate your hard work, Dick.
Senator Oshel Craigo - Oshel, too, carries a deep passion for this project and he is the sole reason for legislative funding. It was his idea to take this before the Legislature and it was his drive that resulted in subsequent support.
Alan Drescher and Rolfe Richmond - Alan has done legal work without charge for the project for 10 years and, likewise, Rolfe has been its unpaid accountant. Both of you gentlemen have given untold hours to keep the memorial fund on track and for that, we thank you.
Buck Harless - There are many contributors to the Veterans Memorial Fund, but by far the most generous is West Virginia's own Buck Harless. When good work is being done. Buck is always at the front.
*Editor's Note: The highest civilian honor the governor can give is a Distinguished West Virginian Award, which was presented to each.

MARTINEZ — A 23-year-old Pittsburg man has been charged with murder and attempted murder in connection with a Jan. 21 shooting that killed one teenage boy and wounded another.
Police said Julius Robert Short Jr. shot 16-year-old Pittsburg resident Steven Rosalez and Rosalez's 16-year-old friend on the 100 block of West Eighth Street in Pittsburg at about 7:45 p.m.
Prosecutors said the shooting occurred hours after a physical fight between Rosalez and Short. Investigators have not disclosed the nature of the dispute but did say the two knew each other.
Both victims were treated for their gunshot wounds at a hospital, where Rosalez died. Rosalez had been a Pittsburg High School student before entering an independent study program, his father said.
Short, who has a record of felony convictions in Contra Costa County, was arrested the day after the shooting and jailed on a probation hold until the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office charged him late Friday with murder and attempted murder with use of a gun and being a felon in possession of a handgun.
He was arraigned in a Martinez courtroom on Monday morning but did not enter a plea and was referred to the Contra Costa County Public Defender's Office, said deputy district attorney Jill Henderson.
Short returns to court Thursday to enter a plea. He remained in County Jail on Tuesday in lieu of $1.5 million bail.

Wadsworth (Ohio, USA)
Wadsworth, Ohio, the site of the first Mennonite higher school in America (Wadsworth Mennonite School, 1868-78) and the first Mennonite Sunday school in Ohio (1854), is located 30 miles (50 km) south of Cleveland in southeastern Medina County. Once an agricultural center and then a coal-mining town, it is now an industrial city of 10,000, known for the production of matches, valves, rubber soles, brick and tile, and iron castings.
The Mennonite community is located for the most part west of town, where they settled north and south along the River Styx as early as 1828. The Wisler Mennonite Church stands on the site of the original church (three miles southwest). Almost all of its 30 members are rural, half of them living in the Wadsworth area. Nearby is the Bethel Mennonite Church (MC), (132 members), organized after the division of 1872. Of its 40 families, 33 consider Wadsworth their shopping center, and 40 per cent earn the major portion of their incomes in town. Wadsworth First Mennonite Church (GCMC), founded on the outskirts in 1852 and moved into town forty years later, is over 80 per cent urban, but 22 per cent of its 250 members are identified with other communities.

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – James Sims scored twice and Jake Heaps passed for 110 yards and one TD in his much-anticipated debut, leading Kansas past South Dakota 31-14 Saturday night and matching the Jayhawks' entire victory total of 2012.
His yardage may not look impressive. But Heaps displayed a strong arm and a quick release in his first action since transferring from BYU, where he smashed most freshman passing records, and sitting out last season while the Jayhawks sank to 1-11 in Charlie Weis' first year as coach.
He was 10 for 20 and several of his misses probably could have been caught. The Jayhawks (1-0) rushed for 280 yards against the lower-division Coyotes (1-1) with Sims going 94 yards on 16 carries.
Josh Vander Maten was 8 for 18 for 67 yards and one touchdown for South Dakota. He also had 78 of the South Dakota's 219 yards rushing.

(Reuters) - Hedge fund managers Marc Lasry and Wesley Edens are buying the National Basketball Association's Milwaukee Bucks for $550 million from businessman and former U.S. Senator Herb Kohl, becoming the latest Wall Street financiers to own a sports club.
"I believe they are the right people and the right fit at the right time," Kohl said at a news conference in Milwaukee announcing the purchase as Lasry and Edens grinned nearby.
The Bucks, valued by Forbes at $405 million and ranked as the last team in the 30-member league, have been on the block since late last year, Kohl said. He said Lasry and Edens, who are lifelong basketball fans, won the bid in part because of their commitment to keep the team in Wisconsin.
Lasry runs Avenue Capital together with his sister, Sonia Gardner, and Edens co-founded Fortress Investment Group.
The two men, whose firms are headquartered in New York, emerged as potential buyers only recently and beat out a group led by Seattle-based former Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer.
Kohl, a Wisconsin native, bought the team 29 years ago, and said he was committed to keeping it in his home state.
Lasry said that for him and Edens buying the team is a "dream come true" and underscored the pair's intention to build a new arena and help the team win a championship. "We have a strong desire, some would say an insane desire, to win," Lasry said at the news conference.
The National Basketball Association still needs to finalize the deal.
Lasry and Edens now join a growing list of Wall Street billionaires who have turned their love of sports into team ownerships.
Steven A. Cohen, whose SAC Capital Advisors changed its name this month to Point72 Advisors after pleading guilty to insider trading, owns a minority stake in the New York Mets baseball team. Jeffrey Vinik, who once ran Fidelity's Magellan Fund before launching his own hedge fund, owns the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team and John W. Henry, a former commodities trader, owns the Boston Red Sox baseball team.
The Bucks, which last year had an operating profit of $11 million on $109 million of revenue, according to Forbes, hired Allen & Company to find buyers for the team.

The Gypsy Waltz is a genre of music related to, yet separate from, Jazz Manouche. Django Reinhardt, the acknowledged master of Jazz Manouche, started his career in the bal-musette clubs of Paris before discovering jazz.
Gypsy Waltz plays an important role in the Sinti community, into which both Django Reinhardt and Stochelo Rosenberg were born. Artists such as Baro Ferret, Matelot Ferret and Tchan Tchou Vidal, continued to develop the Gypsy Waltz as both notable performers and composers.
Stochelo Rosenberg learned many of these waltzes at a very young age. His grandfather Latcheben Grünholz and his uncle Wasso Grünholz were revered as both players and composers. Stochelo continues to perform several of their compositions to this day.
Topics covered include:
In this DVD, Stochelo performs eight waltzes in the Jazz Manouche style. Accompanied by noted producer and performer, Denis Chang, Stochelo shows the technique required to perform these difficult pieces. Stochelo then demonstrates some of the more difficult phrases in these pieces at slower tempos.
Printable musical notation and tablature are included on the DVD to assist the student.

Pentax Imaging Company
Take Advantage of the Web
Ned Bunnell, Director of Marketing
One year ago, Pentax launched www.h20camera.com, a dedicated website focusing on our waterproof line of digital cameras. Since then, we�ve launched www.pentaxslr.com and www.pentaxsportoptics.com because Pentax buyers find Microsites valuable for convenient access to information to make their purchase decisions. Traffic to these sites is impressive, as is the growing number of leads we are sending on to our dealers� sites (via dealer tags) where consumers may finalize their purchase decisions.
At Pentax, we will continue to focus on lifestyle products such as waterproof cameras and, as we promised last year, we have expanded our Digital SLR line with more bodies, lenses and flashes.
With 10 megapixels; Shake Reduction; CCD dust removal; 11-point Autofocus; support for raw, JPG, and DNG; unlimited JPGS in burst-mode; SDHC card format support; and a weather-resistant body, the K10D was a main focus for Pentax at photokina 2006. Along with the K10D, we will deliver the Pentax-DA 70mm F/2.4 Limited lens. Expect us to continue to deliver new digital SLR solutions and make the Pentax digital SLR system shopping experience more informative and convenient than ever. This month, Pentax unveiled an innovative Test Drive A Pentax (www.pentaxslr.com/testdrive) sweepstakes campaign to drive customers into photo retailers to demo a Pentax digital SLR.
Samsung Opto-Electronics America, Inc.
Driving Technical Innovation
Steve Cordova, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing
The digital imaging industry is currently characterized by two major trends�convergence and consolidation. In this highly competitive space where margins are thin and technology is rapidly evolving, manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to maximize value for both dealers and end users while keeping pace with technological innovation. The most effective way to accomplish this has been to blend the features and functionalities of several products into a single device that can do it all. The trick has been to provide all of this functionality without sacrificing quality, dealer margins or consumer loyalty. That�s the convergence element.
Consolidation is not a new trend in digital imaging, but it is an extremely prominent and important trend as we move toward 2007. What we�re seeing right now is major photographic and CE manufacturers consolidating their efforts and working to deliver a full range of solutions under a single brand umbrella to digital photo customers.
Samsung Camera is leading the way in both of these areas. In the convergence area, Samsung continues to drive technological
innovation and set new standards for stylish design. We do this with a focus on delivering �lifestyle� digital media products that make dramatic statements in addition to delivering uncompromised performance and quality. With the recent launch of our new NV Series, we have shown the industry how style, technology, and advanced functionality can converge in products that are highly attractive to consumers. The NV3 is an excellent example of a cutting-edge convergence product, as it is a stylish digital camera that features a built-in Personal Media Player (PMP) that plays video files and MP3s.
Our entry into the DSLR space and the expansion of our product range to include solutions for both entry level and professional photographers is an example of our leadership in the consolidation area. Many manufacturers are expanding their digital camera ranges to include solutions for a variety of skill and experience levels. Samsung is in the unique position of having a global organization with unmatched manufacturing capabilities in every area of digital imaging production. In leveraging all of that expertise, we are able to deliver a unique combination of quality and aggressive pricing that sets us apart from the industry.
Moving into 2007, we can expect to see more of the same fierce competition that has characterized the imaging industry over the past several years. As things heat up, I think we can expect the strongest organizations to emerge as those who will set the pace, and who will deliver the greatest possible value to retailers and consumers alike. Samsung is completely committed to being among those market leaders, and we look forward to achieving great things with all of our retail partners in 2007 and beyond.

Expert Advice You Can Offer Your Customers

In the digital photography market, few things change as quickly as the technology itself, which means that expert tips and advice may no longer hold true as technologies quickly improve. Two common myths come to mind.
Myth #1: Do not use large storage cards because �you don�t want to put all your eggs in one basket.� Some photographers would rather shoot with a pocket full of 512-megabyte (MB) and 1-gigabyte (GB) cards or smaller rather than risk putting the majority of their images on a single card or several large capacity cards. Fact is, large capacity cards are a must for professional photographers. With the large resulting file sizes of RAW and RAW + JPEG options on today�s DSLRs, a 512-MB or 1-GB card today is as limiting as 32- or 64-MB cards were a few years ago due to their low capacities. Using an 8-, 12-, or even 16-GB card provides sufficient capacity to let you concentrate on your subject rather than the card.
Myth #2: Card speed is not important. Nothing could be further from the truth! While it�s true that storage cards are faster than most cameras, most photographers will notice a performance increase with a faster card.
Card-to-computer transfer rates are often overlooked but this is a critical workflow bottleneck. With a faster card and reader, all photographers can benefit when transferring images from a stack of cards to a computer.
For professional photographers, SanDisk offers its award-winning Extreme III and new Extreme IV cards in 2-, 4-, and 8-GB capacities as well its Extreme line of FireWire and USB 2.0 readers. It recently announced 12- and 16-GB capacities for its Extreme III line.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - The motivation of returning to the British Open spurred Andrew Georgiou to a opening round of 65 on Tuesday at the African qualifying tournament for the oldest major.
The 26-year-old was one of three qualifiers from last year's event and wants another chance to compete for the Claret Jug.
"It helps having done it once before," he told reporters at the Royal Johannesburg and Kensington golf club.
"There are a lot of great memories from last year and knowing what is in store for you really motivates."
But with just three places on offer again, and a field of 75 to compete against, he will need much of the same in Wednesday's second and final round.
Georgiou leads from Englishman Darren Lloyd and South Africans Justin Harding and Jake Roos who each shot 66.
Desvonde Botes, who shot 64 in the final round of the European Tour-sanctioned Tshwane Open in Pretoria on Sunday, and Eduardo de la Riva of Spain were a further stroke back.

Autumn Fires

In the other gardens
and all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
see the smoke trail!
Pleasant summer over
and all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
the gray smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!

For the past 55 years, the Mt. Airy-based Philadelphia Ceili Group has been, in its own words, "devoted to the promotion and perpetuation of Irish music, dance and culture" in the greater Philadelphia area.
Its activities have ranged from holding regular monthly music, dance and singing sessions at the Irish Center, 6815 Emlen St., to sponsoring concerts by outstanding Irish musical groups and staging an annual Traditional Music and Dance Festival. They have included instrumental and dance workshops, lectures and theatrical productions.
All of these efforts got a boost recently when it was announced that field recordings made at the Ceili Group's annual festivals and other events will now be available to the public in digital form as part of the Villanova University library's audio collection.
In 1990 the Ceili Group deposited its recordings archive in the library's special collections department. The archive consisted of nine boxes containing 339 cassette tapes and 53 VHS tapes, encompassing 13 years of festival main stage performances as well as other events, such as concerts, workshops and lectures.
At that time, the library did not have the hardware necessary to make the recordings available to its users, so the collection was kept in storage but never accessed in the 20-plus years it was at Villanova. But thanks to both advances in digital technology and the library's own open-source digital software, recordings from the Ceili Group's audio collection are now accessible online.
The first phase of the digitization project consists of 12 sets of music from the group's 1996 music and dance festival – a small part of the entire archive, which now includes recordings from every festival from 1977 to 1996. But even these few sets are rich in selections spanning a wide range of music, performers, instruments and styles. The Ceili Group also has recordings from 1997 to the present ready for digitization.
The Ceili Group's recordings are currently the only music collection in Villanova's digital library.
Michael Foight, special collections and digital library coordinator at Villanova, predicted that it would take "between five and seven years" for all of the Ceili Group's audio material to be available online. He noted that in addition to the technical aspects of processing the tapes was the need to secure rights clearances from the performers.
Robin Hiteshew, of Germantown, a former president of the Ceili Group who has managed the group's archives since 1979, said it was "important to note that the archive was created with little money and the hard work of volunteers over the years."
"This could not be done without the high regard and support of the many artists who have appeared at the festivals and concerts produced by the Ceili Group for recompense far below their normal fees," he said.
Calling it a "priceless resource" that includes "examples of the finest musicians playing in the past two-and-a-half generations," Hiteshew said the collection would "significantly add to the body of knowledge of Irish music around the world."
Jim McGill, of Chestnut Hill, one of the original members of the Ceili Group who has served several terms as its president, described the digitization project as "fantastic."
"There are a lot of people who would like to hear this music but would not take the time to go to a library to hear it," he said. "Now they can listen in their own home."
To hear these recordings, go to: digital.library.villanova.edu

First-timer Iwakuma joining Felix in All-Star Game
SEATTLE -- Felix Hernandez earned his third straight American League All-Star bid and fourth overall on Saturday and this time "The King" will have some company as teammate Hisashi Iwakuma also was selected for the July 16 game in New York.
Hernandez has been the Mariners' lone All-Star representative the past two years, but Iwakuma also had his name called during Saturday's MLB All-Star Selection Show presented by Taco Bell after an outstanding first half.
SEATTLE -- Felix Hernandez earned his third straight American League All-Star bid and fourth overall on Saturday and this time "The King" will have some company as teammate Hisashi Iwakuma also was selected for the July 16 game in New York.
Hernandez has been the Mariners' lone All-Star representative the past two years, but Iwakuma also had his name called during Saturday's MLB All-Star Selection Show presented by Taco Bell after an outstanding first half.
Mariners manager Eric Wedge informed Hernandez and Iwakuma of their All-Star nods in a team meeting before Saturday's game against the Reds.
"The guys were really excited for both of them, but they've been down this road with Felix before," Wedge said. "For Kuma, it was a pretty neat experience. It was just nice to see how genuine their teammates were and excited for them, so that was a neat thing to be a small part of."
Hernandez said he plans to actually pitch in the game this year, as the past two seasons he didn't participate after throwing for Seattle on the final regular-season game before the break.
Iwakuma likely faces that fate this year as he's scheduled to throw his final start before the break on Sunday, July 14 against the Angels at Safeco Field. Hernandez is scheduled to start the prior game against the Angels, giving him an extra day of rest.
"It's unfortunate not being able to pitch," Iwakuma said through translator Antony Suzuki. "But then at the same time, you want to enjoy every moment being an All-Star -- enjoy the atmosphere."
Iwakuma was a three-time All-Star in Japan, but this is his first Major League selection after signing with Seattle last season.
Hernandez wasn't selected for the team in 2010, when he went on to win the AL Cy Young Award. He pitched one perfect inning in his first trip in 2009 in St. Louis, needing just seven pitches to set down Orlando Hudson, Albert Pujols and Justin Upton, but otherwise has been limited to a sideline role at the game.
In 2011, MLB rules precluded pitchers who threw on the final Sunday before the game to participate. Last year, the rules were changed to allow participation, but Rangers manager Ron Washington elected not to use Hernandez in the game after he'd thrown 113 pitches in a complete-game outing on the last day before the break against the A's.
Hernandez, who signed a seven-year, $175 million contract extension this spring, has again been one of the AL's premier starters as he's posted an 8-4 record with a 2.69 ERA in 18 games with 130 strikeouts and 24 walks in 123 2/3 innings. Although this will be his fourth appearance, Hernandez was still honored by the selection.
"It's always exciting," Hernandez said. "To be a part of the All-Star Game with all those guys, it's always fun."
Hernandez threw his first perfect game last season and since '09 has the second-lowest ERA in the Majors behind only Clayton Kershaw and the second-most strikeouts and games pitched behind Justin Verlander.
Only four Mariners have been selected to more All-Star Games in franchise history: Ichiro Suzuki and Ken Griffey Jr. at 10 each, Edgar Martinez with seven and Randy Johnson with five. Alex Rodriguez earned four All-Star berths while with Seattle.
Iwakuma and Hernandez rank 1-2 in the AL in ERA, with Iwakuma leading the way with his 2.60 mark in 18 starts. The 32-year-old from Japan has posted a 7-4 record and has the lowest WHIP (walks plus hits per inning) at 0.88.
Wedge referred to his All-Star pitching duo as "masters of consistency."
"You just feel good when they go out there," he said. "That's how you want to get with all your guys, but you know that they're going to be consistent. More times than not, they're not going to beat themselves. And they're very different in regards to how they pitch and what they do, but they've both gotten to the point where they've mastered what they do."
Iwakuma has struck out 103 batters with just 18 walks in 121 1/3 innings. He began last year in long relief in his first experience in the Majors, but he's gone 15-7 with a 2.62 ERA in 33 starts since moving into the Mariners' rotation on July 2, 2012.
Iwakuma has the lowest ERA among all AL pitchers with at least 15 starts since last year's All-Star break at 2.56, with Boston's Clay Buchholz second at 2.83 and teammate Hernandez third at 2.84.
The Mariners haven't had a position player in the All-Star Game since 2010, the last of Suzuki's 10 consecutive appearances in the Midsummer Classic. Seattle sent three pitchers in 2011 -- Hernandez, Michael Pineda and Brandon League -- and Hernandez was the team's lone representative the past two years.
For Iwakuma, who said he is looking forward to learning from his peers in New York, his first All-Star appearance was made even better by the fact he'll be joined by Hernandez.
"There is a special feeling with that because we've fought together, one and two," Iwakuma said. "And we've gone through a lot of challenges together already. It's very special for us."

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 11, 2006) - The ETSU baseball squad rallied for four sixth inning runs, paced by back-to-back home runs, and the Buccaneer bullpen once again turned in a solid performance, as the Bucs rallied for an 8-6 non-conference win over UNC-Asheville Tuesday night from Cardinal Park.

Denny1 needed a new print or packaging design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 84 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
My name is Denny Oh and I'm a downtown San Diego real estate expert. I grew up in Redondo Beach, but have lived in SD for 12 years. I've been in real estate for 6 years and about 2/3 of my business comes from my website. My blog is the only marketing I do and I believe in providing free, acurate information, which often times is my opinion - something that buyers/sellers can't find on Zillow.com or Realtor.com. I have gotten critisism for offering negative opinions on certain buildings, but have gained clients for that same reason - people like that I'm not a "salesman" and will be open and honest with them.
I believe that if people like me and how I work, they'll want to work with me, opposed to me chasing after clients. I'd rather work with people who see my value and want to work with me. I hate "selling" people on me.
I've primarily been working with buyers, but want to focus on sellers and expand my business by marketing to specific buildings downtown. The mail goal is to drive them to my website and/or contact me for their real estate needs.
I I pride myself on my knowledge of the market, honesty and just being a good person. I hate cheesy salesmen. I want my postcards to be different from the traditional realtors, but I want it to be professional.
These mailers will be sent to high-end condo highrises. Prices range from about $400K-3M. Most people are very well educated and range from about 30-70yrs old. I have a lot of content on my blog about the building I'm mailing to, so hopefully they will see the postcard and connect me(who they probably see in their building a lot but don't recognize) to my site and as a realtor.
About 10-20 other realtors mail to the same building on a regular basis. Again, most of my clients are buyers in this building and others, but I want to expand by contacting sellers(while maintaining my buyer market).
The audience(residents) get these mailers all the time. I don't want mine to be "loud," but I do want it to stand out. Most people won't read it, but hopefully they'll glimpse at it from time to time.
Many of these people are 2nd, 3rd, 5th home owners, many run their own businesses and many are retired. Another portion of people who will see this are young professionals who are renting there.
The postcard must be 8.5" x 5.5"(horizontal). There must be an additional 0.125" bleed margin(outside of the 8.5x5.5) and a 0.25" margin(inside of the 8.5x5.5) where there can be no text - color/images in the margin are ok. Additionally, there must be a 4"x2.5" blank white box in the bottom right hand quarter(horizontal) of the card where the mailing address will go.
The post card will be two sided - the side you design will be static and the other side will be customized for each mailing.
On the side you design, the following MUST be included:
"http://www.sandiegoh.com" logo
Name - "Denny Oh"
contact info "858-243-2092"
The following can be included, but not necessary:
email "firstname.lastname@example.com"
any picture of me
a picture of downtown san diego
the windermere logo
I've attached my business card that I designed as an example of what I like.
I want the reader to know that A) I'm a realtor, B) how to contact me C)what my website is D) i want to stand out and look professional - not cheesy
