Accused Craigslist killer: I killed 22-plus 'bad people'
(NEWSER) – Miranda Barbour admits killing a 42-year-old Pennsylvania man she says she and her new husband picked up on Craigslist for sex in November, but her tale only gets darker from there: In an interview with the Sunbury Daily Item, the 19-year-old says that she's killed at least 22 people over the last six years in a cross-country killing spree as a member of a satanic cult. "When I hit 22, I stopped counting" her victims, she says. She claims to be behind murders in Alaska, California, Texas, and North Carolina. "I can pinpoint on a map where you can find them," she says, adding that she killed only "bad people" who "didn't deserve to be here anymore."

India's manufacturing activity rose in December to its fastest pace in six months, led by strong factory output and a rise in new orders.
The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) from HSBC, which gives a snapshot of manufacturing health from output to jobs, climbed to 54.7 in December, compared to 53.7 in the previous month.
A figure of over 50 indicates growth in the sector while below 50 points shows contraction.
"Activity in the manufacturing sector picked up again, led by faster output growth and a further uptick in new orders, which led to a faster increase in backlogs of work," said HSBC chief economist Leif Eskesen on Wednesday.
Economist Sonal Varma at Nomura Securities said the PMI data was a good sign for the economy.
"The manufacturing sector after stabilising between July and October began to improve from November and inflation pressures remain under check," she said.
The survey's findings - based on data from more than 500 manufacturers - come after India's economic growth fell to 5.3 per cent in the July-September quarter, extending a slowdown since the start of the year.
The government has forecast growth of 5.7 to 5.9 per cent for the fiscal year to March, which is far below the near double-digit pace India set before the onset of the global financial crisis.
India's inflation cooled to a 10-month low of 7.24 per cent in November, which is still well above the central bank's comfort zone of near five per cent, and Eskesen said pressures were likely to remain.
The Indian central bank, which has kept its benchmark interest rates on hold since April due to fears about inflation, has suggested it may start easing monetary policy in the current financial quarter to March.

When the Fairbanks Ice Dogs scored three goals in the last six minutes of the North American Hockey League Championship Game to win the coveted Robertson Cup just a few Saturday's ago, it marked the very first Championship in franchise history. A history which began in 1997 when General Manager ( & first Ice Dog Head Coach) Rob Proffitt started the team.
Andy: When you were growing up, did you know in your heart that you would end up involved in professional hockey?
Rob: I grew up in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, which is a hockey hotbed, so like most kids I definitely had dreams of playing in the NHL. I actually had a serious injury when I was a teenager that put my playing days on hold for several years, but I came back and ended up playing in the West Coast Hockey League when I was 21 (The WCHL merged with the East Coast Hockey League and is a Minor league for the NHL). There was absolutely nothing better than receiving a paycheck for playing the game you love.
Andy: Is an Ice Dog a type of wolf or an Alaskan breed of some kind?
Rob: No, no, no…We actually had a contest among the fans to come up with the name which really caught on. It has more to do with our team being aggressive on the ice. Our original logo has changed from a more passive Ice Dog to the more menacing image you see today.
Andy: I'm quite sure your coaching and management of the team had more to do with the success of the squad over the years (7 straight playoff appearances and 3 straight trips to the Finals) than your super cool logo. What would you say is your biggest accomplishment to date?
Rob: Certainly putting a consistently good hockey product on the ice is fulfilling. However, nothing has been more satisfying to me than setting up our players with College Scholarships. While it is definitely a goal to have these players make it to the NHL, the reality is that the majority will not. To be able to see our players have the opportunity to get a top notch education and play the game they love, especially during the current economic downturn, is very meaningful to me. As of today we've set up close to 60 scholarships.
Andy: Love to hear that and congrats! Since this is an interview on the Original Retro Brand blog, I need to ask a retro question; Gretzky or Lemieux?
Rob: Obviously both were/are phenomenal giants of the game on and off the ice, but I got the opportunity to see Gretzky when he was a 16 year old playing for the Greyhounds (Junior Ice Hockey team from that same city Rob grew up in) and was blown away then. Probably the most significant reason hockey has grown to have teams in Phoenix, Dallas, Anaheim and San Jose, had all to do with when Wayne became a Los Angeles King. There would not be youth hockey in Texas and other western cities if not for Wayne Gretzky.
Andy: In addition to your success on the ice, you've also managed to be very successful in the branding of the Ice Dogs. Tell us how you have incorporated the Original Retro Brand in molding your image.
Rob: Our team takes pride in being a blue collar, hard working, tough outfit with an old school attitude. I believe the The Original Retro Brand flex fit and trucker caps project that same image – they're broken in, roughed up, have a perfect fit, and thus are a perfect fit for us. I know our fans feel the same way because we couldn't keep them on our shelves for long, and before we knew it we had sold through our first big batch.
We love to hear that Coach, and thank you so much for your time today. More importantly we want to say CONGRATULATIONS on winning your first Championship and wish you continued success!

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 12:56am
Not only do players at Virginia and Syracuse circle their yearly clash on the calendar, but most lacrosse fans do to. There is ample reason - the stature and legacy of both programs, the myriad athletes showcasing their skills up and down the field, the at times frenetic pace, the big game environment, the highlight reel goals, the nailbiting finishes, the big-time TV exposure - rarely does this one disappoint.
With that in mind, Inside Lacrosse went down to Charlottesville to take in this great rivalry from a particularly intimate perspective - embedded with the Cavaliers.
The three-part video series to follow takes viewers through the gameday routine for the Wahoos as they ready for a Sunday night showdown at Klockner Stadium against the rival Orange.
Make sure you check out Virginia on Saturday against Cornell in the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic.
We join the team about four hours before game time, as they meet for a team meal in downtown Charlottesville. After fueling up, the players have an hour or two to themselves before congregating back at the field for pregame preparations.
The mood in the locker room and on the field as players warm up seems relaxed, confident, and excited. As I said earlier, this is a game players on both squads look forward to; they know it will be fast, physical, and a ton of fun. While some rivalries boil over with bad blood, there seems to be a level of respect and enjoyment to this one that leaves very little room for malice. Both teams want to win, but they are going to soak up all 60 minutes of play.
Coach Dom Starsia's emphasis before the game may seem contradictory at the outset, but it spoke to how this Cavalier team can excel. With a roster deep with talent, each individual player needs to exert his effort and skill, making the little plays he needs to make to win the individual battles, but the squad must do it all together, everyone with the same level of intensity and responsibility, everyone buying in.
If the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, having parts as good as Virginia does puts forth one overpowering whole.
After a brief reflection on last year's national title, Dom Starsia and his Cavaliers start the gunslinging in their match up with Syracuse. The intensity and speed is established early, as some big hits fly and some athletic rushes up and down the field captivate the crowd. Virginia builds a 3-1 lead through the first quarter, but Syracuse catches fire, rattling off five unanswered scores to take the lead. But the story of this rivalry is rarely written in the first half, and the teams head to their locker rooms ready to come out and stake their claims in the second.
In the final chapter, UVa regroups in the lockerroom and readies to make their push for the win. The high excitement and big stage may have seeped into their first half play a little, as coach Dom Starsia reminded his team to relax, get back to what they know and what they do well, and keep trying to make plays. Though the Cavaliers trailed by two at the break, these battles with Syracuse tend to be games of runs. Virginia would get theirs to open the third, scoring four-straight to take a lead they would never relinquish.
After the game, Coach Starsia highlighted the stellar face-off play of Ryan Benincasa and congratulated his team on a quality win against a tough opponent. The Wahoos would have 48 hours to turn it around for their next contest with Vermont. On the horizon loomed another Top-5 match up against No. 3 Cornell at the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic in Baltimore on March 10.
Thank you to the Virginia men's lacrosse program, players and staff for letting me hang around for such a big game. The team was fired up, and the atmosphere was highly energized. This team is the No. 1 squad in the nation for a reason, and they proved just how good they can be on that cold Sunday night in Charlottesville.
Up next for Virginia is the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic against Cornell. That game is at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium. More info is available here.

Sprint CEO Gives $3.25M Back to Company After Upsetting Shareholders in iPhone Deal

Sprint CEO Dan Hesse
(Source: technobuffalo.com)
Hesse returned the $3.25 million after previosuly excluding the financial effect of carrying Apple's iPhone when determining employee bonuses
Sprint Chief Executive Officer Dan Hesse has decided to return over $3.25 million after shareholders expressed concern with the company's recent move regarding employee bonuses and Apple's iPhone.
According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday, Hesse returned the $3.25 million after previously excluding the financial effect of carrying Apple's iPhone when determining employee bonuses.
This move upset shareholders, so Hesse decided to return the money to the company.
"I do not want, nor does our Compensation Committee want, to penalize Sprint employees for the company's investment with Apple," said Hesse. "I'm hopeful that these actions will
allow the company to remain focused
on delivering the best overall customer experience in the wireless industry, which is what will serve the company best in the long run."
Sprint agreed to purchase 30.5 million iPhones for about $20 billion over a four-year period last year. In August 2011, Hesse reportedly told the Sprint board of directors that the company would likely lose on the agreement with Apple until 2014, but believed in the deal because he said iPhones were more profitable than others like Android-based phones. According to Hesse, iPhones have a "low churn rate" and iPhone users consume less data.
When the iPhone 4S first launched, which was
Sprint's first iPhone
, the carrier sold 1.8 million of the Apple smartphone. In Q1 2012, Sprint sold 1.5 million iPhones total.
"We applaud Dan for his willingness to sacrifice personal compensation in order to reduce any distraction that could negatively affect the morale and performance of the company," said Sprint Board Chairman James Hance Jr. "Dan enjoys the full support of our board of directors, and we appreciate the leadership he has demonstrated as he continues to
guide the company
through a turnaround in a difficult competitive environment."
Hesse's pay in 2011 was $11.9 million, including stock and option awards. Hesse said he plans to reduce his salary by $346,223 this year to pay back part of the iPhone bonus, and will give up $544,607 in future pay for last year's performance. The other $2 million that he's giving back will be in performance units that he was given in February.

Offensive Players of the Week
For the week ending May 13
By John Parker / Special to MLB.com | May 14, 2012 1:08 PM ET
Steve Pearce, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
(.400/.464/.920, 7 G, 10-for-25, 4 2B, 3 HR, 4 RBI, 7 R, 3 BB, 5 K)
After seven seasons in the Pirates organization (including 185 games with the big league club), 29-year-old Steve Pearce is off to a flying start in the Yankees system. Though he had a 26-game on-base streak snapped Tuesday, the veteran slugger bounced back by going 8-for-16 with three homers, three doubles and four RBIs over four games from Wednesday through Saturday. He leads the IL in batting (.361) and doubles (12) while ranking third with a .444 on-base percentage and fourth with 26 runs scored.
Yankees' Steve Pearce hits a three-run homer
Pacific Coast League
Josh Bell, Reno
(.522/.500/.913, 6 G, 12-for-23, 1 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, 12 RBI, 6 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 SB, 1 CS)
Part of the deal that sent reliever George Sherrill to the Dodgers in 2009, Bell hit just .200 in 79 Major League games with the Orioles before being designated for assignment on April 16. The O's sent him to the Diamondbacks on April 21 and Bell immediately made his presence felt with Arizona's Triple-A club, bashing a pair of homers in his second game with the Aces. This week Bell torched host Memphis for 11 hits and 10 RBIs during Reno's four-game sweep, and the 25-year-old switch-hitter is batting .421 with 29 RBIs in his first 19 Pacific Coast League games.
Aces' Bell hits his second homer of the game
Eastern League
Darin Ruf, Reading
(.455/.538/1.000, 6 G, 10-for-22, 3 2B, 3 HR, 12 RBI, 6 R, 3 BB, 4 K)
Ruf has done nothing but rake in his first 35 Double-A games. The 25-year-old first baseman was named the Phillies organization's Player of the Month for April and has been even better in May. He went deep in four consecutive games from Sunday to Thursday this week, driving in 13 runs in the four contests. Ruf leads the Eastern League in batting average (.383) and RBIs (27) while ranking second in slugging (.594) and on-base percentage (.438).
Southern League
Matt Davidson, Mobile
(.333/.417/.810, 6 G, 7-for-21, 1 2B, 3 HR, 7 RBI, 4 R, 3 BB, 5 K)
The No. 5 prospect in the Diamondbacks system, Davidson is off to his best start since Arizona took him 35th overall in the 2009 Draft. The 21-year-old third baseman leads the Southern League with eight homers, is second in on-base percentage and fourth in batting. Davidson closed out the week with six hits -- three of them homers -- and seven RBIs over three games as his BayBears opened up a six-game lead over the rest of the league's South Division.
Top prospect: Matt Davidson
Texas League
Cody Decker, San Antonio
(.368/.435/1.000, 6 G, 7-for-19, 4 HR, 8 RBI, 5 R, 3 BB, 2 K)
If this name sounds familiar, it's not just because the Missions lead the Minors in Deckers. Cody was last week's Texas League honoree as well, and the 25-year-old UCLA product captured this week's prize by blasting four homers in four games over the weekend as San Antonio swept visiting Midland. Decker has at least one RBI in seven of his last eight contests and is tied with teammate Nathan Freiman for the league lead with 13 longballs. He's all alone at the top with a .724 slugging percentage and trails only NW Arkansas' Wil Myers in OPS.
Missions' Cody Decker goes deep three times
California League
George Springer, Lancaster
(.522/.571/1.261, 7 G, 12-for-23, 1 3B, 5 HR, 10 RBI, 8 R, 3 BB, 5 K, 2 SB, 1 CS)
The 11th overall pick in last June's Draft, Springer had a brief eight-game stint in the New York-Penn League last summer before jumping straight to Class A Advanced this season. MLB.com's No. 80 prospect hasn't disappointed, hitting .313/.362/.571 and erupting for five homers in four games this week, including longballs in four consecutive at-bats in the JetHawks' doubleheader sweep of Lake Elsinore on Friday. Having doubled his season home run total in a matter of hours, Springer is now tied for third in the league, three behind teammate Telvin Nash.
No. 80 prospect: George Springer
Carolina League
Brady Shoemaker, Winston-Salem
(.556/.619/.889, 5 G, 10-for-18, 3 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 6 R, 2 BB, 1 K)
A career .313 hitter in parts of four Minor League seasons, Shoemaker has been even better this year. The Indiana State product, who turned 25 on Thursday, leads the league in hits, ranks second in runs scored and has reached base in each of his last 20 games. Shoemaker celebrated his birthday by going 3-for-4 with a homer, double and two RBIs in the second game of a doubleheader at Frederick, then closed out the week with a 5-for-5 performance at Lynchburg on Sunday.
Florida State League
Lance Ray, Fort Myers
(.421/.542/.789, 6 G, 8-for-19, 4 2B, 1 HR, 9 RBI, 6 R, 5 BB, 4 K, 1 SB)
After hitting just .192 in April, Ray has at least one hit in nine of his 10 games this month and has scored in six of seven. An eighth-round pick out of the University of Kentucky in 2010, Ray's 16 homers for Beloit were fourth most in the Twins organization last season. The 22-year-old delivered his fourth blast of the year Wednesday, a first-inning grand slam at first-place Dunedin, and added two doubles and a single Thursday to help the Miracle split a four-game set with the Blue Jays.
Midwest League
Kevin Pillar, Lansing
(.536/.552/.786, 6 G, 15-for-28, 2 2B, 1 3B, 1 HR, 12 RBI, 5 R, 0 BB, 4 K, 4 SB)
Pillar contributed four multi-hit games this week, capped by a record-tying 6-for-6, six-RBI performance in the Lugnuts' 16-4 romp over Dayton on Saturday. The last Lansing player to collect six hits in a game was Franklin German on May 25, 1999. Pillar added three hits in Tuesday's game and three more on Friday before Saturday's outburst, which included his first homer of the season. The 22-year-old outfielder's .319 average is second-highest on the Lugnuts squad, which owns the league's best record at 25-11.
South Atlantic League
Angelo Gumbs, Charleston
(.464/.467/.643, 6 G, 13-for-28, 1 3B, 1 HR, 5 RBI, 6 R, 1 BB, 8 K, 11 SB, 1 CS)
Gumbs struggled in April, batting just .206 with 21 strikeouts in 19 games. May has been a different story for the Yankees No. 17 prospect, who went 13-for-25 during a five-game stretch this week and is batting .362 in 11 games this month. A second-round pick in the 2010 Draft, the 19-year-old second baseman had back-to-back three-hit performances Tuesday and Thursday, then went 4-for-6 with his second homer of the year and three RBIs at West Virginia on Saturday. He also stole 11 bases and was caught just once over the last seven days, and he's now second in the SAL -- one behind Delino DeShields Jr. -- with 19 steals. With Gumbs hitting his stride, the first-place RiverDogs may be even more formidable than your correspondent predicted.

Halperin and Heilemann admit they don't know what Bill Clinton actually said
Video ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From the January 12 edition of Fox Business' Imus in the Morning
Loading the player reg...
Mark Halperin says of remarks attributed to Bill Clinton: "our sources tried to remember what was said, they didn't agree on the exact language. They agreed on the gist precisely."
From the January 12 edition of Fox Business' Imus in the Morning:
DON IMUS: Let me start with the Bill Clinton quote. You explain -- well, tell me how you go about placing quotes in quotation marks and not in quotation marks. You can start with Mark or John -- either one.
JOHN HEILEMANN: Well, we've been very, very careful. You know, there's a lot of sloppiness in these books you'll find if you read them. People put things in quotation markets all the time --
IMUS: Yes.
HEILEMANN: -- that they've heard second or third hand. Anything in our book that has quotation marks around it, we explain in the author's note is either something that came directly from the person who said the quote or someone who heard it directly. There's no hearsay accounts of quotations that we put in quotation marks.
So, there's a lot of paraphrase dialogue that's not in quotation marks that doesn't quite meet that standard but which we've multiply sourced, but, generally, it's because, you know, people have heard it, either -- in some cases, we got it from the direct speaker, but they couldn't quite remember the right words, or we've got it from multiple other sources. But in those cases we leave it outside quotations because we don't want to put anything within quotation marks that we're not absolutely sure came from the speaker, someone who'd heard it directly and who is absolutely sure that those are the words that were used.
We were trying to be supercautious in terms of how we deployed quotation marks. And in this case, it's a good example.
IMUS: Was that a shot at Bob Woodward there at the top of that?
HEILEMANN: Taking a shot at no one.
IMUS: [unintelligible] You, Charles? Anyway, about the quotes --
MARK HALPERIN: I'm not --
IMUS: -- and stuff? Well, here's the quote we're talking about: Ted Kennedy apparently -- apparently, Bill Clinton said to him a few years ago -- he called Ted Kennedy, trying to get Ted to endorse his wife, Hillary -- and it's in quotation marks in the information from your publisher.
HALPERIN: I think 'cause they're quoting from the book. The Kennedy part is not --
IMUS: I see.
HALPERIN: -- and the Clinton part is not a quote. It's -- that is a quote from the book of the paraphrase from the book.
IMUS: That's the way --
HALPERIN: Does that make sense?
IMUS: No, it's weak. Anyway, a few years ago, this guy Obama would have been getting us coffee. What did he say? If you're paraphrasing --
HALPERIN: Well, he said something just like that.
IMUS: Well, like -- but -- what?
HALPERIN: Well, we're just -- again, because we knew that that was an important quote, would get a lot of attention, as our sources tried to remember what was said, they didn't agree on the exact language. They agreed on the gist precisely. But we didn't want to be in the position of quoting something that sensitive in quotation marks without, again as John said, the very high level we were using.
So, there's no doubt that that is more than the essence of what he said. It's very close. And the differences in the versions we've heard were not very far, one or two words in two cases but we didn't want to put it in quotes.
HEILEMANN: And just to be further clear, I mean, in this case in the book, we're very specific, we say, this is what Kennedy reported to some of his friends --
IMUS: Right.
HEILEMANN: -- claimed that Bill Clinton said. So, we even took it a little further out. And in a lot of other cases, we'll just say, you know, Bill Clinton said the following to Ted Kennedy -- for sure that happened. All we can say in this case is that Kennedy told people that's what Bill Clinton said or something very close to that and it enraged Kennedy 'cause he took it as a pretty serious slam on Obama with some kind of negative racial connotations
IMUS: You guys have been very careful to say that all of these sources -- 300 or whoever you talked to -- most of them you knew. So you had -- so you were able to determine the veracity of their statements with in fact, 'cause you had experience. But it's been my experience, not being a reporter but just common sense, that when somebody tells you what somebody else said, that a lot -- that sometimes a lot gets lost. And that -- as an example, well, I say things about people on the radio, which often are icky things, you know, and then it gets reported to these various people. It's always far worse than what I actually said.
HALPERIN: Well, look, that is the nature of the different -- the challenge of reporting. Here's what we did to try to mitigate that as much as possible.
IMUS: Right.
HALPERIN: We did over 300 interviews and these were not short interviews. Some of them lasted six hours or longer.
IMUS: God. Such as --
HALPERIN: We went --
IMUS: You guys --
HALPERIN: We went back -- well, there were --
IMUS: That's brutal.
HALPERIN: There were breaks involved.
IMUS: Oh, OK.
HEILEMANN: That's the kind of technique we use in Guantanamo Bay sometimes.
HALPERIN: We went back to people multiple times. Some people we interviewed more than half a dozen times. In most journalism today, because of the nature of our business, you're lucky if you interview somebody twice for a story.
In addition, we were very careful with people to say, do you remember or not? And you can learn. Some people in the interview, it's clear that they had bad memories. They can't remember what happened earlier in the interview. Other people have very good memories. And I think, most important, and this is why we think -- why -- part of why we wanted to write the book, is in campaigns people don't write stuff down, there aren't a lot of memos or documents.
So you have to rely on the oral history. We interviewed people about the nomination fights right after they ended, before the general election kicked off. We interviewed people right after the general election. We think a lot of the stuff in that book would have otherwise been lost to history, because if you went and interviewed people about this now, too much has happened since then. They won't remember, but it was fresh in their minds and that really benefited us.

HIGH POINT, NC -- Microtronic US is rolling out a low-profile self-checkout system designed to meet the needs of smaller locations, and with a smaller price tag than most conventional micromarket models.
The "mini" self-checkout kiosk -- priced at $3,500 -- is built into a freestanding cabinet that provides a surface on which users can place their items during the checkout process.
Customers can pay with a credit card, debit card or Microtronic prepaid card, to which they can add value with credit or debit cards, using the micromarket touchscreen. Patrons use the company's standalone loading station to add cash to their prepaid cards to minimize long lines forming at the micromarket kiosk.
Also new from Microtronic is its micromarket-specific fixture and component system designed to create a "market space" that can be efficiently monitored. It can be adapted to meet operators' unique space requirements. Special pricing is available for Microtronic customers.

Infant Death Could Be Criminal
Homicide detectives said Tuesday they would present evidence to prosecutors in the death of a 5-month-old boy in Carson to determine if criminal charges are warranted against the boy's father.
Seth Cayton was found dead by L.A. County Sheriff's deputies Monday afternoon when the father called 9-1-1 to report he'd accidentally left the boy in an S-U-V hours earlier.
Cayton was still buckled into his car seat when he was found and was partially wrapped in a blanket, investigators said.
There were no signs of trauma and no evidence the boy had accidentally been choked or suffocated, they said.
The father's story seems plausible, but L.A. County Sheriff's homicide detective Ed Aguirre said more interviews and autopsy results were needed before the investigation could be closed.
The father told detectives he left his home on Cliveden Ave. in the morning Monday and dropped his other children at day care. The father then switched vehicles and went to work, and said he realized around 3:00 pm the infant had been left behind.
The outside air temperature was in the mid to high 70s but it was likely much hotter inside the vehicle and there was nothing to shade the car seat, authorities said.
Cayton's father has worked as a security guard and his mother is a Los Angeles School Police officer, a law enforcement source confirmed.

studio 804
lawrence, kan.
The judges bestowed one collective Grand award on the three entries from Studio 804, the University of Kansas design/build program led by Dan Rockhill. "We want to encourage this direction," said one juror, commending the studio's "continued research" into single-family housing solutions.
With each project, Rockhill and his students have explored a different facet of residential design and building, often expanding on the previous year's effort. In 2007, they created Modular 4, a prefab, 1,500-square-foot home in Kansas City, Kan. The next year they shifted their focus away from residential work and onto a sustainable prototype for an arts center in tornado-devastated Greensburg, Kan. "That building really charted the course for our interest in LEED," Rockhill notes. The studio's 2009 project, the Sustainable Residence in Kansas City, achieved a LEED Platinum rating. And its 2010 undertaking, the affordable Prescott Passive House (again in Kansas City), not only reached LEED Platinum status, but also is a certified Passive House.
Studio 804's consistent push for attractive, eco-friendly housing impressed the judges. "We're trying to prove that you don't have to give up good design to do sustainable work," Rockhill says. He and his students have succeeded at that effort time and again. Currently, they're working on another sustainable project, the new Center for Design Research at the University of Kansas.
Our sister publication, ecohome, highlighted the Prescott Passive House as an affordable spec house for qualified buyers. Read the article.

Introducing a new product to market can take years of research and expense. Or it can be as simple as taking something already in existence and marketing it for a different purpose. Creating or discovering a whole new use or new market for a product can be all you need to generate increased sales and growth. Observing consumer behavior is often the catalyst for new ideas.
A recent article in The Wall Street Journal outlines Hidden Valley Foods' plan to expand its market penetration for its premier product, Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing. By repositioning the ever-popular salad dressing as the "new ketchup," the company believes it can expand its market share and increase revenue. Updating the recipe to make the dressing thicker and creamier in order to stay atop a burger and creating new packaging and labeling, the new version will be called Hidden Valley for Everything. The company will introduce the product to the restaurant industry and grocery sales as soon as they finalize the recipe, so it can safely remain on the table as a nonperishable item, like ketchup and mustard.
The idea for repositioning the top selling salad dressing came about when a company executive observed his daughter pouring it over her salmon dinner. While ranch dressing is said to be "the most often used salad dressing in the U.S.," the executive saw his daughter's behavior as an opportunity to expand to a new area. Research shows that 15 percent of ranch dressing consumers use it on something other than salad, which supports the company's move to make a play for market share in the condiment category.
Similarly, when Google learned that its customers were enjoying Google Translate more for its musical attributes than to translate words and phrases, the company saw a demand for this service with a new purpose. Customers type in a string of consonants as English for the system to translate into German, and then the computer "speaks" the phrase in rhythmic beat. The result is music to the user's ears.
Then there is Starbucks' CEO, Howard Schultz, who was recently credited with reviving the business by introducing a variety of new products and services. One of those ideas is a light roast coffee — a first for the coffeehouse chain that built its business on rich, dark roast flavors. When the company's market research uncovered that "40 percent of U.S. coffee drinkers prefer a lighter, milder roast," the product development team went to work creating their new Blonde roast.
Business owners and managers at small companies can learn from these industry leaders. Watching and listening to your consumers can often uncover the potential for new sources of revenue. Conduct a review of current products and services and think about how you might promote them to a different target market or how they may be utilized differently. By repositioning or refocusing your marketing, the potential for growth can be accomplished by just looking at the situation from a new perspective.

- 36-track serpentine longitudinal recording technique for improved capacity, performance, and reliability
- Same physical size as Cartridge System Tape and capable of coexisting in IBM half-inch cartridge libraries 3494 and 3495
- Midrange capacity with outstanding price/performance ratios
- IBM-certified quality with an exceptional warranty
Advanced tape technology
The IBM Enhanced Capacity Cartridge System Tape continues the IBM tradition of innovative tape technology by doubling the capacity of the Cartridge System Tape. When used with the IBM 3490 Magnetic Tape Subsystem and other compatible models, this cartridge can increase the capacity—depending on data characteristics —by an average of 12 times when compared to uncompacted, original 3480 tape cartridges.
Advanced tape benefits
The primary benefits of the IBM Enhanced Capacity Cartridge System Tape are operational and space savings since a typical disk volume can be backed up on a single cartridge. In fact, using the Enhanced Capacity Cartridge in the 3490 and other compatible models provides an unattended disk backup capacity of 2.4 GB (based on a 3:1 compaction ratio).
Reducing the number of cartridges required for backup and restore operations can result in fewer cartridges to handle and less tapes in the tape library—simplifying overall operations and saving time, effort, and money.

Food Source
Perhaps the most critical preparation for long term sustainable prepping is food. Your food source must be renewable and sustainable. A garden and raising livestock is the obvious answer. Hunting and trapping would not be considered a sustainable food source particularly once everyone begins hunting to survive. The animal population in the surrounding area would soon be depleted unless the crisis reduced human populations by a considerable number.
Have a one-year supply of food stockpiled to allow you time to develop your food sources. Stockpile heirloom seeds now. Heirloom seeds will reproduce an identical plant while hybrid seeds will produce a plant, that plant will have sterile seeds. This means hybrid plants are not a sustainable food supply. To sustain your food source you must have the means to harvest seeds from all your crops to keep the cycle of life going every season. Once you begin producing, you must have the means to preserve your crops by canning, pickling and drying.
Compost all vegetation and spoiled vegetables and fruit for fertilizer and mulch, but do not compost animal or human waste, bones or meat.
Greenhouses can be constructed rather easily for year around growing. To heat the greenhouse you can place black barrels of water (roughly five gallons per square foot of space) in the structure. Radiant heat will warm the water during the day and then the water will disperse that heat at night keeping your greenhouse above freezing. Place the greenhouse where it will receive ample sun in the winter months.
To produce enough vegetables you will need at least a 25 long by 30-foot wide section for row crops. Row gardens are simply tilled up areas where the plants are planted in the traditional rows. This means you would have a 25-foot row of corn, tomatoes and so forth. This would normally feed a family of four for the summer with surplus for preserving. Vine plants such as cucumbers, squash and melon can be planted in smaller rows and allowed to expand their vines along the additional space. Herbs, and smaller yield plants can be planted in pots around the garden or even on the patio.
If you have the space expand your garden, so you can use some of the surplus for bartering
If you have poor soil or for those of us living in the suburbs and cannot use the ground, you can build raised garden beds. Use landscaping timbers and build as high as you needed to accommodate the root systems. Landscape timbers are about three inches high so three to four stacked would likely be sufficient. Fill with quality topsoil/growing soil and mix in compost.
Start planting berries such as blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and raspberries. It may take a season or longer to begin producing significant amounts so start now. It will require a sizable area to produce enough berries to have fresh ones daily during the growing season and enough to preserve as jams or jellies. Blueberries grow on bushes while black and red raspberries grow canes that must be trimmed every year, and they are thorny. Strawberries grow close to the ground and will spread and develop more plants every season. Blackberries and raspberries can reproduce another plant from cuttings, as well as several varieties of fruit trees.
If enclosing the plants (in a greenhouse) where bees do not have access you will have to pollinate some of the crops yourself. Tomatoes are self-pollinating so they are ideal for greenhouses, patios or even inside the home. To pollinate you can remove the male flowers with the antler like antennas covered with pollen and rub it on the female flower. You can also use a small camel haired brush to transfer the pollen. The female flower will have miniature fruit behind the flower.

The teenager who fell to his death at Perth's Serpentine Falls at the weekend has been identified as German tourist Ulrich Helmet Ditzel.
The picturesque Serpentine National Park waterfalls, about 50 kilometres south-east of Perth, have claimed at least a dozen lives over the past 40 years.
Mr Ditzel, 19, fell 12 metres to his death on Sunday while attempting to navigate the rock face.
He was attempting to find a lower ledge to jump from about 2.15pm, when he hit a wet patch and slipped, according to WA Police spokesman Gerry Cassidy.
Friends and onlookers pulled the teenager out of the water and tried to administer CPR, while they waited for St John Ambulance to arrive, Sergeant Cassidy said.
He could not be revived and was declared dead at 5.50pm at Armadale Emergency.
It is understood the Mr Ditzel, who has a Shenton Park address, was at the falls with two friends.
His next of kin in Germany have been notified.
A 21-year-old woman was killed after falling 20 metres to her death from the Serpentine Falls cliff face in 2011.
In 2007 a 27-year-old Beaconsfield man died after smashing his head on rocks while diving into the water.
Following the 2011 tragedy the State Government pledged to conduct a risk assessment of the popular summer spot.
The review lead to new recommendations, which included replacement of vandalised risk signs, the installation of additional risk signage, an investigation into whether a barrier would be appropriate at the top of the falls and an increased staff presence.
The DEC has since upgraded its signage and adjusted its rosters to ensure staff are present at the falls seven days.
Security cameras have also been installed and the number of visitors limited by closing the falls car park and restricting access to the landmark.
However, a barrier has not been installed as it was found to pose "additional visitors risks due to the topography and nature of the site," a DEC spokesman said.
"The large number of access points along the top of the falls would also limit the effectiveness of a barrier," she said.
A local teenager who was also at the national park on Sunday said he did not believe the death, or the signage would stop regular visitors from jumping off the rocks.
He said there were about 30 people around the falls before the incident.
"Other people were jumping off the falls area, that ledge that they jump off, and other people would have been swimming," he said.
"That's what happens every time you go there."
The local, who did not want to be named, said he didn't think the latest tragedy would stop people visiting the falls, nor would it stop people jumping off the rocks.
"People know that it's dangerous," he said.
"It doesn't really make that much difference to locals."
DEC are continuing to investigate Mr Ditzel's death.

Just checking back in on the thread. Regarding the flying thing and anecdotal accounts, when I fought in Brazil I did notice that there was some water retention (a couple of lbs maybe, hard to judge what would be "normal" due to my fluid intake). It's likely to do with pressure and very salty foods in general terms, though I didn't partake in the food personally because of that. If you take in water, you'll get heavier same as anyone, flying or otherwise, but it might stay on you for a day or so longer than it normally would. But you can't gain what you don't eat/drink - it's not a magical substance that your body ingests from the air when flying, and the body will readjust.
You have to prepare for it and follow the right protocols on the flight with regards to food and drink to minimise the effects, especially if you're weighing in shortly after. It sucked but it was nothing unexpected and I still had to cut the weight regardless. It certainly doesn't help you on something as drastic as a water cut though.

Shit, biased YourMMA rubbish! ha ha, only joking guys, its public opinion I know ;-)
If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
I like Enty, yes he needs to make weight, but he doesn't fuck about and you know where you stand with him
That been said, Blast would wrestle fuck him n can't see him taking Scraps out in 65 seconds imvho
Not good fights for him
Was a top 5 sub tho
Just out of curiosity, how many of his 8 fights did he fail to make weight? And who against? Anyone?

honestly, the maps have been working fine for me... :/
He screwed up by negating years of Jobs-ology. Admitting a semi-mistake instead of refusing to back down - not what Jobs what do.
Tim cook should only have one question on his mind: What Would Jobs Do?
I remember one time I was driving and turn by turn told me to make a u-turn at a road that wasnt even there. Funny thing is that wasnt apple maps that told me that. It was tomtom.
Then a few times I was lead in a completely off route way with google maps.
My point is EVERY map navigation system has issues. Personally apple maps have done nothing but work better than anything I've ever tried. With its integration on lock screen and Siri, for me it can't be beat
Went to search for a hotel location today. No results
Exact same search string in Google Maps. Exact result.
iOS Maps has been nothing but crap for me.
Idk I guess to each there own I can see how people could like it and how it could be useful, but everytime I've ever had to go anywhere in any town. LA or SF turn by turn got me there the best rather than try and stair at a street view.
I'll admit, I kind of miss street view. It was very useful when i was considering moving to a new city and was looking at potential homes/neighborhoods. But I'd rather have the free turn by turn Siri guided navigation. I applaud Apple for wanting to change and because Google wasn't willing to do TxT Nav for free, Apple moved on, without them.
I travel daily around Philadelphia and New York for my living and over half my destinations don't have numbers on the buildings when I arrive per my turn by turn directions or I don't want to have to slow down so much to piss off the guy behind me when I'm trying to look for the number on the building. I want to "look at" the whole block area before I drive up to it. And I'm not alone at all. Remember we've had GPS and turn by turn capability for over 15 years. And Google spent millions sending their trucks with their panoramic cameras around the world over a period of five years to get Street view operational. Obviously there was a public need for this feature. One that many many people use daily. But again people do NOT use it "while" they are driving. They use it before they get on the highway to look at their destination to get an idea of landmarks in the area and where to park, etc.
Now we can have differing views on any individual's personal "need" for such a thing. You (and others) don't need it. I and many others do. But I assure you Google created it because many people wanted it -not as a gimmick. And that's why Apple will eventually includ it in their maps software. Even though they'll have to pay Google for the rights to the pictures of the streets. I doubt Apple will duplicate Google's efforts and send out their own trucks around the world.
Even though google maps has more data I can only speak for myself and in california it has worked Great sense beta 1
I like your input and its nice to have a discussion for once that isn't someone callin the other person stupid for believing what they believe

DeMello, Mariners rally, win Game 109/01/2013 12:57 AM ET
By Ashley Marshall / MiLB.com
The Pulaski Mariners have shown dogged determination all year. In their biggest game of the season so far, that fighting spirit was on display again.
The Rookie-level Mariners worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the ninth inning before plating five runs in the top of the 10th to take Game 1 of their best-of-3 Appalachian League semifinal series at Bluefield, 9-4.
"Our team has been resilient all year long," said Pulaski manager Chris Prieto, who guided his team to 12 one-run wins and three extra-inning victories during the regular season. "We never let up."
Catcher Toby DeMello homered, doubled and drove in three runs, leadoff man Aaron Barbosa went 4-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored and shortstop Tyler Smith chipped in three hits.
Appalachian League Pitcher of the Year Edwin Diaz, the Mariners' No. 14 prospect, allowed three runs in the first inning before firing five scoreless frames to keep Pulaski in the series opener. He lost the lead in the seventh and was charged with four runs on five hits over 6 1/3 frames.
"He gave up a three-run homer in the first and he could have folded, but he didn't," Prieto said. "He went out there and found his pitches and threw up scoreless innings after that. It was nice to have him on the mound for Game 1. We faced the person who would have been the Pitcher of the Year if it wasn't Diaz."
To get to extra innings, the Mariners -- who edged the Blue Jays by a half-game for the East Division crown -- had to work out of a jam in the ninth.
Three walks -- the third being intentional -- loaded the bases with one out for Bluefield. But Rafael Pineda came on and got pinch-hitter Nico Taylor to hit a grounder to Smith, who forced the runner at the plate. Tim Locastro also grounded out to keep the game tied.
In the 10th, Jesus Ugueto delivered a two-run single, Wilton Martinez raced home on a wild pitch and DeMello homered.
"That was great to be able to add on like that because that's a very good ballclub on the other side," Prieto said. "It gave us the cushion we needed to finish them off."
Game 2 is Sunday night in Pulaski, where the Mariners can secure a spot in the Championship Series.

Yet as the draft approaches, we still haven't heard a word about progress being made on signing quarterback Tony Romo to a contract extension. The Cowboys need to sign Romo to an extension for salary cap reasons. If he plays out the final season of his contract, he will count $16.8 million against the cap in 2013. As of now, the Cowboys are reported to be less than $100,000 under the cap. Room will have to be made just to sign the new draft picks.

As a longtime distance runner, Newman Elementary Principal John Erlacher figured he exercised enough to eat whatever he wanted.
That was until Erlacher, now 60, developed Type II diabetes.
"I used to sit around the TV at night with a big bowl of popcorn or bowl of ice cream," Erlacher said, "but it really catches up on you."
Now, Erlacher along with 13 other Salt Lake Valley principals is trying to do something about it. The principals are part of this year's My Heart Challenge contest sponsored by the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute. As part of the 100-day challenge, which began Feb. 7, the principals are tracking what they eat, exercising more and meeting regularly with a dietician and exercise physiologist.
The competition is only about half over, but already the group has lost a combined 173 pounds, said Meagan Kline, an organizer and exercise physiologist at Intermountain Medical Center. That's nearly as much weight as last year's competitors, 12 area city officials, lost over the entire 100 days.
Kline said the idea behind the contest is to spread awareness about heart health by helping influential groups of people improve their own well-being.
"[Principals] can help the children in their schools, they can help the families," Kline said. "That's a lot of influence they can have right there."
East Midvale Elementary Principal Sally Sansom has shed 12 pounds so far by eating healthier and exercising more, and she's involved her whole school. The school held a walk-a-thon for Dr. Seuss Week and a family fitness night, and Sansom offers tips about eating well and staying active via Eddie's Excellent News (the school's new show named after its mascot).
For example, she's encouraged her students to jump rope or do jumping jacks while watching TV at home. One mom told Sansom that her kids now insist on jumping rope in front of the television.
"They say, 'Mrs. Sansom told me to,'" the mother told the principal.
Erlacher's students are also part of his transformation. Erlacher, in addition to taking spin and weight training classes, walks with students around the perimeter of the school's soccer field for about 45 minutes each day.
"It's fun and afterward it makes us feel good because we got some energy out," said sixth-grader Anna Wilson as she followed Erlacher around the field on a recent school day.
Students occasionally stop to ask him how many steps he's logged on his pedometer on any given day (7,432 as of noon on a recent school day).
"I think he's the best principal I ever had," said sixth-grader Juanita Drake. "I think he's a great example."
Two students even created a poster that hangs near the school's front entrance, detailing Erlacher's efforts (243,296 steps in 36 days, equaling 14,384 more steps than the average person).
"I think it was pretty cool how he went in a program and got more fit," said sixth-grader Marcus Ikegami, one of the students who created the poster as part of a math project. "If he stays that way it will be really good for him and everyone else."
Erlacher is planning on it. Like last year, the competition will have two winners: one who most improves his or her health and one who earns the most points for eating well, exercising and attending meetings. In February, organizers measured the principals' body fat percentages, cholesterol levels and had them take treadmill stress tests, among other things. They'll do those tests again at the end to see how far they've come and who won.
Last year's winners, Salt Lake City Councilman Carlton Christensen and Midvale City Attorney Craig Hall have managed to keep up their health, Kline said.
This year, the winners will receive $1,000 donations for their schools.
Erlacher has promised students that if he wins, he'll use the cash to enhance field day at the end of the year. He's already been able to cut down on the dosage of his diabetes medication, thanks to the lifestyle changes.
"I'm out to win," Erlacher said.
