Rated 5 out of 5 by Rjfdz3 from More bang for your buck!! Started my morning trimming a mesquite tree with a cheapo from the Depot. Had to stop working and took a short drive my local hardware store which happens to carry Stihl. Had a gas pole saw in my sights and on my mind, when I just happened to see the PP 800. Didn't have the funds for exactly the one I wanted the gas combi. Was a bit apprehensive about picking up another manual pole saw, how much could the difference be. Well when I got out of the truck and reached for my newly purchased PP 800 and proceeded to saw to my heart's content with little to no effort. Got lost in what I was doing and before I knew it my wife had to slap me around to let me know that I had trimmed more than what I was supposed to. Awsome tool highly recommend for any job

Rated 5 out of 5 by sawman1 from Just bought my 4th one! I just purchased my fourth PP800 Pole! These aluminum poles from STIHL cannot be matched by anyone out there! When you spend the money,and don't go "CHEAP", you get exactly what you pay for from STIHL. Absolutely the HIGHEST of QUALITY from STIHL! You should NOT expect anything less than the BEST from STIHL ! Not inexpensive, but worth every cent! Go get one!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Joepah from Completely awesome yard tool My 14 year old 12' Pole saw finally broke for good. I debated buying a 21' Japanese saw for awhile then I happened to see this Stihl saw at my local ace store. Once I had it in my hands It felt just great and was lighter than I expected. Made the ace manager measure the saw and it was almost 19' to the base of the saw blade. Took it home and started trimming my Queen palm trees and did t stop until it was dark! Very powerful saw blade and the ligament and hook cutting blades were super sharp. This Stihl was an absolute pleasure to use and its light weight and grip didn't tire this old 59 yo man!My only regret is not buyi g this a year ago

Rated 4 out of 5 by LBLM from Really love the product, but I wish one thing could be improved Overall I don't think I have ever used a better extension pole. I will say that I wish the third section was a little more durable. I was cutting a large limb and it fell and twisted and bent the third section slightly. The pole is still useable, but it doesn't collapse all the way. The weight is abolutely amazing compared to a fiberglass pole.

Rated 5 out of 5 by WVMountaineer from Top of The Line Telescoping Pole This telescoping pole is top of the line. Easy extension and durable and does not wobble or give way when under pressure. You cannot go wrong with Stihl. Stihl products may cost a bit more than the others but you get what you pay for. For quality and long life equipment Stihl is the only brand I buy. Been burned too many times by cheap imitators.

Rated 5 out of 5 by merlin7 from Absolute BEST Pole for Manual Pruning! This PP 800 is a killer telescoping pole: Lightweight and sturdy/strong at the same time. The 18 foot pole is REALLY 18 feet long (not like some other pole makers that calculate in the additional height of the person using it). So, add in about half your height, and you'll actually get a 20' to 22' reach. It's actually a joy to use because it doesn't bend or wobble - you can be very precise with your cutting. I've been through a few other polesaws and this one is a serious professional pole compared to any of the others.To finish your pole system out, get the ** PS 80 Arboriculture Saw attachment, and the ** Pole Pruner Lopper Attachment. The Saw and Lopper are both top notch pro tools as well!Can't be beat. No hesitation - Get it!

Server rebound, Perot services boost Dell
PCs, not so much, in fiscal Q1
The x64 server rebound has been finally confirmed with Dell reporting its financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2011 ended April 30. Dell's overall revenues were up 21 per cent, to $14.9bn, and net income was up 52 per cent, to $441m.
These numbers may not have been high enough to make us forget that Wall Street crashed again on Thursday because of the instability in the global economy, but they do confirm that companies are again willing to spend something akin to normal amounts on IT.
In the first quarter of its current fiscal 2011, Dell's product sales came to $12.1bn, up 18 per cent and nearly identical to what the company sold in the fourth quarter of its fiscal 2010, which ended in January. Dell's services revenues were up 32 per cent to $2.79bn, with most of the growth coming from its acquisition of Perot Systems last year. Services revenues were nearly a carbon copy of last quarter as well.
This is unusual, but good, given that the fourth quarter is usually a pretty good one and the first a weak one. Because of all the new chips coming out, Dell has had to jack up research and development spending to $167m, which is a tiny amount compared to IBM, HP, and Oracle, and something that these three will no doubt point out. But it is 18 per cent more than Dell spent a year ago, and the company is doing more.
Dell's server and networking business, which is mostly servers, was the star of the quarter in terms of organic growth, with revenues rising 39 per cent to $1.78bn, although this was a one point decline from the prior Q4. Still, Dell's server biz showed real growth compared to the same quarter two years ago, when the economy was already slowing thanks to the Great Recession, selling only $1.65bn in servers, up a meager 4 per cent compared to Q1 fiscal 2008,which ended in May 2007.
Dell arguably went south quicker than HP and IBM in the server racket, and while its growth and volume were nowhere near what HP reported earlier this week — revenues for ProLiant and BladeSystem x64 servers up 53.6 per cent to just a tad over $3bn — Dell is no slouch and its growth matched IBM's 36 per cent growth in its own Q1 and represented roughly twice as much revenue.
The x64 server recovery is underway.
Dell's storage business, on the other hand, is problematic — and you can't blame its acquired EqualLogic line, which had a 75 per cent revenue explosion in the quarter. Clearly other PowerVault products are suffering. Dell's software and peripherals business, which includes the resale of operating systems for servers and PCs and office automation and other software for PCs, had a more muted revenue boost of 11 per cent, resulting in $2.5bn in revenues.
The PC business, while improving, is not growing at the same rate as the server business. Dell's mobile PCs accounted for $4.56bn in revenues in the quarter, up 18 per cent, while desktop PCs accounted for $3.85bn, up 13 per cent. HP had slightly bigger and faster-growing notebook sales in its Q1, but Dell has slightly larger desktop PC biz, but one that is growing at half the rate of HP's.
Yes, I realize that HP's quarter ended in April and Dell's in May, so those numbers are apples to applesauce. The point is that Dell is not getting a licking in PCs — it's more or less doing as well as HP, and is no doubt looking forward to more of the same in the quarters ahead.
By customer set, Dell's consumer business accounted for $3.25bn in sales, up 16 per cent, with a 20 per cent boost in shipments across all products. But the consumer biz only delivers $17m in operating income. Small and medium businesses made up $3.52bn in revenues in the first quarter, up 19 per cent and yielding $313m in operating income; large enterprises comprised $4.25bn in sales, up 25 per cent, and delivered $283m in operating income. Neither SMBs nor large enterprises have recovered to their pre-recession levels yet. The public sector (governments and educational institutions) accounted for $3.86bn, up 22 per cent, in the first quarter, with $298m in operating income. Dell's public sector business was never hit as hard as Dell's commercial businesses during the Great Recession.
Dell had $5.6bn in net cash as fiscal Q1 2011 ended. Acquisitions will probably be small, if it does any.
The company did not provide specific guidance in its financial results for the coming quarters, but did say that it believes it is seeing the "early stages" of an IT refresh among corporations and therefore expects to see demand among commercial enterprises build throughout the year. The second quarter will, however, only see a "sequential demand pickup in the low single digits," and that means that basically Q2 will look a whole lot like Q1 fiscal 2011 and Q4 fiscal 2010. ®

Sunnking Inc., in partnership with Camp Good Days, has created a program titled "E-Scrap 4 Camp," which facilitates recycling old electronics from participating locations to generate funds for Camp Good Days and Special Times. 2013 marks the third year for the program - and the first time that fundraising efforts will be expanded to allow participation from Rochester-area businesses and organizations.
For the month of April, Sunnking will provide free electronics recycling supplies and pick-ups at participating schools, businesses, non-profits and other organizations in the Buffalo and Rochester area. Organizations are encouraged to collect old and unwanted electronics from employees, friends and family. Sunnking will donate money to Camp Good Days for every pound of electronics recycled.
To register an organization, visit www.sunnking.com/escrap-4-camp. The deadline to sign up is March 15.
"We have been very fortunate to have such outstanding support from Sunnking," said Lisa Donato Booz, regional director of Camp Good Days in Buffalo. "Their funds have helped us continue to provide fun and laughter for many children dealing with cancer, which we are beyond grateful for. It is always so inspiring to see businesses and individuals come together to support our kids. Not to mention, we are safely recycling old electronics for free. It really is a great opportunity for both the Buffalo and Rochester community!"
Since its inception in 2011, "E-Scrap 4 Camp" has recycled 569,562 pounds of electronics, and raised $18,000.
"It's amazing to see how the program has grown in such a short amount of time," said Sunnking's Marketing and Programs Manager Zachary Hussion. "With the expansion into the Rochester area, we are expecting to more than double the volume of electronics recycled compared to the first year of the program. It's a good feeling for everyone involved. Saving the environment and raising funds for a good cause is a win-win in my book."
Here's how it works:
•Each participating location will have the opportunity to collect electronics from employees, friends and family for one week during the month of April.
•Packaging supplies will be provided by Sunnking at no cost.
•Electronics will be picked up from each location and recycled at no cost.
•Sunnking will track and record the net weight of electronics recycled from each participating location and will provide a certificate of recycling and destruction.
•At the end of the program, Sunnking will donate money to Camp Good Days for every pound of electronics recycled.
•The participating location with the highest volume of materials collected will win $500 worth of refurbished computer equipment from Sunnking.
Camp Good Days and Special Times is a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for children, adults and families whose lives have been touched by cancer. The primary purpose of Camp Good Days is to make the lives of children dealing with cancer as happy and rewarding as possible, and to give back the childhood that cancer has taken away.
Founded in 2000, Sunnking Inc. is New York state's first EPA R2 certified electronics recycling, data destruction and asset management company dealing in end-of-life electronic equipment. Its facilities, located in Buffalo and Brockport, specialize in collecting, refurbishing, reselling and recycling electronic products from residential and commercial suppliers.

Episode 3 – Dave Stolte
I flubbed Dave's last name more than a few times and I think I even messed up Daniel's name. I'm hoping that all the background noise at the restaurant helped gloss it over. Regardless, Mr. Stolte was kind enough to meet me on a busy night at Bar & Kitchen where the din of a hip restaurant gave us a nice soundtrack. I didn't get to talk as much about his illustrations as I would have wanted to, and so here's the Navy Grog character (and the recipe to go with it).
Download the MP3: Dave Stolte
Navy Grog
Trader Vic's, 1950s
In a shaker about half-full with ice cubes, add:
1 oz light rum (Cruzan or Flor de Caña 4)
1 oz gold rum (Appleton or Mount Gay)
1 oz 151 demerara rum (Lemon Hart)
3/4 oz lime juice
3/4 oz pimento dram (recipe follows)
1/2 oz grapefruit juice (white grapefruit is preferable, if available)
Shake well to blend and chill, then strain into an Old Fashioned glass filled with crushed ice (an ice cone with a straw running through it was the style at Trader Vic's, but is impractical for home use).
Garnish with a lime zest.
Pimento Dram
Step One
Light toast 1/4 cup whole dried allspice berries, then crush to break up, but not pulverize. In an airtight container, combine the crushed toasted allspice berries with 1 1/8 cups 151 demerara rum (Lemon Hart). Let steep 10 days in a cool, dark place.
Step Two
After 10 days, strain the infused rum through cheesecloth, then a coffee filter, to remove allspice. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 1 1/2 cups water
with 2 1/2 cups brown sugar. Stir to blend until sugar is completely dissolved. Let brown sugar syrup cool, then add the infused rum. Funnel into an airtight glass bottle or jar and let sit 30 days in a cool, dark place before using. This will level out the heat of the allspice.

The fiscal cliff: Messages to Washington
We the Forgotten People...
I am still outraged in the decision to make the Hurricane Sandy victims wait for a vote. It has been 66 days and people are still without power. Now they are being forced to wait even longer.
I feel the House Republican leadership should be ashamed of themselves in allowing Congress to end without even holding a vote to aid the victims. Now, they are only voting because the people affected are standing together and their leaders are fighting back.
Maybe, these elected officials should go visit the devastated areas to refresh their memories of the severe damage in our own country. They should recall what New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said in a news conference "this is the worst storm that I've seen in my lifetime in this state."
As a photographer, documenting the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, I speak from experience, when I say the damaged areas look like Berlin after WWII. With that being said, to continue to force all these people to wait for
aid is monumentally shocking. That is not the American way. We have a proud history of helping almost everyone.

Backcountry flower shop buzzes ahead of Mother's Day
Though Valentine's Day usually brings to mind lavish gifts of red roses, it's Mother's Day that has become the busiest holiday for Fleurish -- The Flower Shop, the store tucked up in a white farmhouse in backcountry Greenwich.
The last three or four days before the designated Sunday in May bring in a flurry of customers, said co-owner Stephanie Primm, and the store will supplement its staff of four full-time employees with some part-time help.
"It's a very heartwarming holiday for us," Primm said. "It's the single biggest holiday we have as floral designers, and it's sweet to see people wanting to honor their mom with flowers."
While bouquets of fresh flowers are obviously a popular choice, customers often look for something that can continue to bloom outside a vase. Along with sales of cut flowers and small potted plants, The Flower Shop offers large containers arranged with a mix of plants, almost like pre-made flower beds that can be set up inside or out. These are often popular choices around the holiday, said Primm's business partner, Tori Santos.
"It seems like everyone fancies their mother to be a bit of a gardener," Santos said. "We try to do things that are seasonally appropriate. In May, you're thinking more of pinks, oranges, lavender -- spring colors. People like to give orchids, too, and contrary to popular belief, they're quite easy to grow."
The flower beds can be designed and arranged to the customer's specifications, with advice from the store's outdoor specialist, Kathy Rosenbaum, on which flowers will last longest, grow best in the sun or shade, and fit well aesthetically with the client's home and yard. For those who don't have the time or expertise to keep up with the maintenance of these container gardens, The Flower Shop can send someone out to prune and seed as needed.
"We want to make sure that whatever hard work has gone into this arrangement will stay that way as long as possible," Santos said. "It's not something that many flower shops do."
Started 25 years ago by Betty Uva, the store was bought by Santos seven years ago, with Primm joining just a few years later.
Local shops are usually a safer bet when ordering flowers around a popular holiday, particularly with price scamming and unnecessary service fees that can crop up in online sales, according to the Connecticut Florists Association, of which The Flower Shop is a member. "Consumers always get a better value if they go direct to a `real florist' nearby," Bob Heffernan, executive director of the Monroe-based Association, said in a statement. "Buying from the nearby flower shop keeps our local economy strong."

The capacity of the tiny grandstand never exceeded 7,500. It served as the home of the White Sox until June 27, 1910 when the club vacated the park for Comiskey Park at 35th Street and Shields. The grounds were leased to John Schorling, a South Side saloon keeper who owned the American Giants Negro League team.
The park served as the home of Chicago's Negro League teams until the park was demolished in the late 1940s to make way for a public housing project.
The park was designed by architect Zachary Taylor Davis with help from Comiskey and pitcher Ed Walsh. Comiskey Park featured spacious dimensions (362 feet down each line and 420 feet to straight-away center field). Before the 1927 season, the park was enclosed by a double-decked outfield grandstand. On August 14, 1939, the first night game in Chicago was played at Comiskey Park, with the Sox defeating the St. Louis Browns, 5-2.
The first large center field scoreboard was built in 1950 and lasted until replaced by Bill Veeck's exploding version in 1960. In 1982, a new scoreboard, complete with color video board, was constructed along with new Golden Box seats, dugouts and a level of luxury sky suites.
The White Sox played their final campaign at old Comiskey Park in 1990. The festive final weekend of the old stadium was capped by a 2-1 Sox victory over Seattle in the final game on September 30, 1990.

Before we look at the here and now, here is something I just want to point out...
1 - When David Moyes was at Everton, his teams were notably "slow starters". This meant that is wasn't until Christmas time that they went on a run and would go from relegation candidates to European contenders.
2 - Manchester United notably make a late dash for the title. For example 2002-03 season; they were written out of the race in November after a 3-1 defeat to Man City.
Then their revival stumbled after back-to-back defeats over Christmas, however an unbeaten run from January-May won them the league.
Also 1995-96 and the famous "You can't win anything with kids" remark. Slowly, but steadily United crawled there way back in touch with Newcastle and a 1-0 win at St James' Park turned the race in their favour and United won it, against all the odds.
So let's come back to now. Manchester United lie in 8th place in the Premier League.
They have lost three games in the Premier League (Liverpool, Manchester City and West Bromwich Albion) and many have written them out of the title race.
But many people are missing the fact that Manchester United are currently in a six-game unbeaten run in all competitions.
They are unbeaten in the Champions League so far, They are in the quarter finals of the League Cup and there is evidence that the resilience, spirit and never-say-die attitude hasn't followed Sir Alex Ferguson out the door as proved in the 3-2 win against Stoke.
Manchester United are leaking goals but they were doing exactly the same last season and still managed to cruise to the title in comprehensive fashion.
So to add to the spirit they showed to claw they way back to victory against Stoke they also have, arguably the best stroke force in the Premier League - Robin Van Persie, Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez, who are all in a rich vain of scoring form.
All three scored against Stoke and in all competitions they have scored 18 goals between them (Van Persie eight, Rooney six, and Hernandez four).
You could also add Danny Welbeck to that list who has three. These three players have been prolific for both club and country in recent seasons and last season their 48 Premier League goals helped win Manchester United the title and this is what will win it again.
This is the first time that they are all fit at the same time with Rooney and Van Persie having difficulties at times earlier in the season but their fitness will mean United are a huge threat to any defence.
In addition to this United possibly have the best young prospect in the world in Adnan Januzaj.
The 18-year-old ace burst onto the scene in September and after impressing with a couple of substitute appearances, he got his first start and scored to wonder goals to win them the game against Sunderland.
More impressive performances have followed so he is not a one-hit wonder; expect more goals because the assists and quality are there for all to see.
More games and experience can only help the lad. Moyes is no stranger to teenage super talent. Remember Wayne Rooney? Yes, It was David Moyes who gave him his debut in 2002 and his handling and care to Wayne was crucial in his development and he is now a world superstar and England's best player.
Already the squad is shaping up but many are still convinced it is the worst squad Man Utd have had since the 80's.
Well I can understand why some say that but i believe it isn't and that it is a very strong squad if it is used correctly and remains injury free.
Shinji Kagawa has struggled to gain first team football. Starts have been few and far between but back to back starts vs Real Sociedad and Stoke have seen him impress so this should mean more games to follow.
Moyes is learning about his squad and he is starting to see the talent of the Japanese maestro. Another player is Marouane Fellaini. He is having a frustrating time trying to settle in and a wrist injury isn't helping.
Having been Everton's best player when on form he can terrorise defences and boss a game all by himself.
Manchester United already have a packed midfield. Carrick will be very hard to shove out of the team so he is in competition with Shinji Kagawa and Tom Cleverley.
Fellaini showed signs against Bayer Leverkusen and Shakhtar Donetsk of his offensive and defensive talents. He's a ball winner, tackler and tough man in midfield, where United may have been short of in previous years. Going the other way his aerial threat in the box.
More games and finding his perfect role, whether that be defensive midfielder or further forward, will see him hit top form and he can be a crucial player for United and complete the midfield that has eluded the Red Devils in recent years.
Finally I can't help but mention David De Gea who has made the no.1 shirt his own and is probably the reason why i'm writing this article, arguing my point that Manchester United can still win the title this season.
The unbelievable save he made against Sunderland to prevent United going 2-0 down added to crucial saves against Stoke and Southampton that have perhaps won United seven points.
Should this happen in games against Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea and Man City then it can only mean United will win those games which will really turn the tables.
To conclude United face Arsenal at Old Trafford in two weeks time and that game could make me look a fool or make me you all read this again and say "he's right".
Should United win or even take a point from that game it shows they can still compete with the big boys and that Man City and Liverpool simply came too early in Moyes' tenure and we then give him the benefit of the doubt. Finally all I can say is, welcome to the most exciting Premier League Season there ever will be.

WASHINGTON -- If George W. Bush had told us that the "war on terror" gave him the right to execute an American citizen overseas with a missile fired from a drone aircraft, without due process or judicial review, I'd have gone ballistic. It makes no difference that the president making this chilling claim is Barack Obama. What's wrong is wrong.
The moral and ethical questions posed by the advent of drone warfare -- which amounts to assassination by remote control -- are painfully complex. We had better start working out some answers because, as an administration spokesman told me recently, drone attacks are "the new normal" in the ongoing struggle against terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda.

Paul Abbott, a faculty member in the School of Physics at the University of Western Australia, wants to teach his students a tool that they can use to tackle real-world problems—not only in his physics and mathematics courses, but throughout their studies and into their professional careers.
Mathematica provides Abbott and his students an immersing and engaging environment to investigate problems—from calculating and visualizing results to documenting and presenting findings. Abbott uses Mathematica to build all of his course materials, including lecture slide shows, student assignments and exams. His students use Mathematica to visualize surfaces, explore concepts using interactive examples, hypothesize results and check their work. According to Abbott, "What I love is watching the 'Aha' moment, the moment when they say, 'Oh, I get that concept.' And they get more concepts with the assistance of Mathematica. It gives them confidence. They go 'Wow, I can do this,' and that's the most exciting thing about teaching."
Abbott says Mathematica's free-form linguistic input and rich Documentation Center make it easy for educators and students to get started with Mathematica and quickly move from basic computations and visualizations to exploring real-world problems and research.

Drug watch: On Wednesday, March 27 the Street Crimes unit conducted a narcotics investigation in the 1000 block of Forum Drive. The Patrol Division was requested to assist in the arrest of a heroin dealer.
Drug watch: On Wednesday, March 27 the Street Crimes unit conducted a narcotics investigation in the 1000 block of Forum Drive. The Patrol Division was requested to assist in the arrest of a heroin dealer. When a vehicle stop was attempted the suspect fled and lead the Patrol Division on a short pursuit.
The suspect fled on foot from the vehicle in the area of Independence and 10th Street. A short time later the suspect was arrested hiding in his residence. When the suspect was taken into custody it was learned he was using a false identity and had several warrants for his arrest. We would like to thank the Phelps County Sheriff's Department and Missouri State Highway Patrol in assisting us with the arrest of this heroin dealer.
Recently I was interviewed by television and radio stations from Kansas City, Columbia and KY3 TV out of Springfield about our drug campaign and the overall marketing of the Rolla Police Dept. They were interested in our Facebook page, the weekly newspaper article in the Rolla Daily News- Chief Chat, the Rolla Police Dept. drug calendar, our float, the Harlem Shake and the bill boards. KY3 will be airing their interview tomorrow.
They want to know why, how etc..., so this is basically what I gave them. How did all this start? Rolla is my hometown and I have been a police officer here since 1982, I have seen many changes in crime and the types of criminals moving to our area. First, I believe that the public has a right to know what their police force is doing, by law and for safety of all we have to keep some information confidential.
So we started the weekly news paper column, Chief Chat to inform the public about the department. Then we started the Facebook page and I call it RPDs newspaper to also inform the public. During this time we started seeing an increase in heroin overdoses. I tried to go to every scene and talk to the users and their friends and it became apparent that many wanted help and had no place to turn and the heroin dealers were moving into our town.
We started the street crimes unit and began our drug campaign to educate officials, parents, schools and the kids about the dangers of illegal drugs. We did so, with the bill boards, our parade float and the calendar. They were designed to get people talking about the issues and in my opinion, it worked. I knew if we used boring pictures and words it would not be noticed, so we tried to make them outrageous to get people's attention.
The Rolla Police Department went viral on many fronts, from the calendar to the bill boards to our parade float. We have chased out and arrested many hardcore dealers from our community, while we can never stop drugs, we can try to keep the violent and hardcore drug thugs and dealers out of the community. Word on the street is heroin dealers will not come to Rolla because of our pro active stance, so the users are driving to other towns to get their fix. That's a start, and for your information, the funds used for the marketing campaign comes from the drug dealers, I think that's a win, win situation.
Lt. Jim Macormic has been a little busy the past couple weeks as the City of Rolla's Emergency Management Director. March 12 Lt. Macormic attended the 2013 Missouri Energy Assurance Planning Workshop held in Jefferson City. This workshop provided EMD's with resources and contacts for their areas in case of "Super Storms" which cause power outages and or storms that disrupt the normal transportation of any type of fuel.
We met with major power/fuel suppliers from the state to discuss alternate routes of power through the nations power grid and alternate routes of fuel through the numerous pipelines throughout our region. Then on March 20 Lt. Macormic attended the SEMA Region I coordinators meeting, EMD's (Emergency Management Directors) from the region I counties meet monthly to keep the lines of communication open.
Tomorrow is Easter Sunday and the Christian Life Center will be hosting their 2nd Annual Easter Egg Drop beginning at 9:30 a.m. at Ber Juan Park. This is an event where 30,000 Easter eggs, some containing prizes will be dropped from a helicopter to the waiting crowds below. Did I say crowds? Last year there were over 4,000 people in the park waiting for the egg drop. This year they are anticipating over 5,000.
The reason I am mentioning this event is safety. If you plan to attend please remember that anytime there are crowds of that size, the potential for injury is there. The organizers have assured us that they will have plenty of volunteers on hand to assist with crowd placement and control. They will also have parking attendants on hand and a plan to get everyone in and out of the park safely. We will have officers and VIPS volunteers on site to assist the event staff. Please be patient and respectful of others as you participate in this event.
In closing, I would like to remind you that Tuesday is the General Municipal Elections where you will have the opportunity to select board members for the Phelps County Emergency Services Board and council members for the Rolla City Council. The Emergency Services Board is the governing body that regulates our 911 Central Communications day to day operation. And of course the Rolla City Council governs day to day operations for the City of Rolla. This is a very important election and we encourage you to cast your vote on Tuesday.
Have a great week!

The Thursday before the start of the Grand Prix of the Americas, Asphalt & Rubber was part of a quick event put on by Dainese and Ducati Austin, which allowed fans to meet Kevin Schwantz. Before the start of that evening's meet-and-greet, I got to sit down with the former 500cc World Champion, and pick his brain not only about the current events happening with the Circuit of the Americas, but also about what was occurring on a larger scale within the American road racing scene.
While Mr. Schwantz could only provide limited answers about what was going on with the Texan track and his ongoing litigation with the circuit, his opinions on MotoGP and AMA Pro Racing were insightful, and serve as a serious warning about the state of American road racing not only here in the US, but also abroad in the various World Championships. It is a bit of a long read (Mr. Schwantz was more than generous with his time), but I think you will enjoy the exchange and perspective he shared during the interview.

Metro Briefing | New York: Brooklyn: Federal Officials Must Testify
By NINA BERNSTEIN; Compiled by John Sullivan
Published: June 15, 2007
A federal appeals court ruled yesterday that senior federal officials would have to answer questions under oath in a lawsuit accusing them of personally conspiring to violate the rights of Muslim immigrants held in a federal detention center in Brooklyn after 9/11. The ruling, by a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Manhattan, upholds most of an earlier decision by a federal judge in Brooklyn. The officials, including former Attorney General John Ashcroft and Robert Mueller, the head of the F.B.I., had asked for dismissal of the lawsuit, by Javaid Iqbal, a Pakistani immigrant, arguing in part that the government was entitled to take actions that might not have been lawful before 9/11. Although acknowledging some forms of government action in emergencies may exceed normal constitutional limits, Judge Jon O. Newman rejected the officials' contention, saying some protections against some of the violations claimed, such as needlessly harsh confinement and ethnic discrimination, do not vary with surrounding circumstances. ''The strength of our system of constitutional rights derives from the steadfast protection of those rights in both normal and unusual times,'' he wrote. NINA BERNSTEIN

ST. LOUIS — The Cardinals are living proof there is life after a superstar leaves town.
When Albert Pujols jumped to the Angels as a free agent, the defending world champions looked to be in trouble. How could they possibly win without Pujols?
Yet, here are the Cardinals just one victory away from returning to the World Series after last night's 8-3 drubbing of the Giants at Busch Stadium to take a 3-1 lead in the NLCS. One more win and it will be the 88-wins World Series between the Cardinals and Tigers.
Pujols, of course, is a lot closer to his prime than Alex Rodriguez, who struggled mightily as the Yankees were bludgeoned in the ALCS by the Tigers, swept away in four games. Rodriguez said he wants to remain a Yankee, but this isn't about one player. These Yankees could learn a lot from the Cardinals.
On Wednesday night, rookie Matt Carpenter stepped for Carlos Beltran in and hit a two-run, go-ahead home run to lead the Cardinals to a 3-1 victory. Last night, Carpenter produced a big double in the Giants two-run fifth off loser Tim Lincecum.
"We've had a lot of guys go down with injuries and a lot of key figures from last year's team aren't part of our team anymore,'' said Matt Holliday, who produced two hits and two RBIs. "We've found a way to get back to here. I think it goes back to organization. We expect to win. It doesn't matter who we have on the team.''
Holliday called it, "The Cardinal way. … We're the Cardinals and we are going to play in the playoffs.''
For the Yankees to succeed, they have to find a way to pick up their offense, A-Rod or no A-Rod. They must land a right-handed bat via a trade or free agency. A good start would be for the Yankees to go after Michael Cuddyer from the Rockies, who is a solid person and player.
As for the Cardinals, they have rebuilt through their farm system. The Yankees have added pieces from the farm, but they also have elected to trade some of their better prospects like Tigers center fielder Austin Jackson, who homered yesterday and hit .353 in the ALCS. The Yankees traded Jesus Montero to Seattle last January for Michael Pineda, who is on the shelf following shoulder surgery.
The Cardinals have done a fantastic job of using the draft to fill holes and they have signed big-money free agents that produce. They have made themselves a contender nearly every year and since 2004 have produced 41 postseason wins. Over that same span, the Yankees own 31 postseason victories. The Cardinals are trying to become the first team since 2000 to win consecutive World Series. The Yankees won three in a row from 1998-2000.
Gary LaRocque, who was once the Mets assistant general manager, is the senior special assistant to Cardinals GM John Mozeliak and praised the way the Cardinals do business.
"The players know what is expected on every level,'' he said.
There is one organizational teaching manual so there are no surprises when players move from one level to the next. It all works the Cardinal way.
One more win and the Cards will be in their fourth World Series over the last nine years, again rewarding their loyal fan base. Even opposing players like playing at Busch Stadium.
"It's always like a college football game here with the fan support,'' said Barry Zito, who will start Game 5 tonight for the Giants. "Everyone is wearing red.''
The Cardinals continue to build strong bullpens, as well.
"These kids get an opportunity and they run with it,'' LaRocque said of the young players.
Winning pitcher Adam Wainwright said the Cardinals are not afraid of the big situation.
"The organization makes you believe you are a winner from the very first level on,'' he said.
That is the Cardinals' way and now they are one win away from being the top team in the NL once again.

Accurate Imaging Resources Launches Multifunctional Antimicrobial Screen Protector
Jan 11, 2013, 07:05 EST
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Accurate Imaging Resources announced this week its launch of Accurate Films – screen protectors for cell phones, tablets, laptops, monitors, PCs, and LCD/LED TVs.
"These new multipurpose and multifunctional screen protectors will work for Apple iPhones, Samsung Galaxy 3S phones, Apple iPads and much, much more," Michael Doyle, Director of Sales for Accurate Imaging, says. "What really sets these screen protectors apart from others is that they are not only antimicrobial, but they can be customized to fit any size screen and they offer high transparency for sharper imaging."
So, how do they work? Special coatings are applied to the film's surface that includes an antimicrobial element that prevents bacteria growth on the screen.
"We are especially proud of our antimicrobial feature," Doyle says. "It promotes better health practices by eliminating transfer of germs from hand to face that may linger on the phone screen protector."
These screen protectors also work to eliminate glare and fingerprints and can be easily removed and attached without leaving any residue behind on the screen surface. This ensures that the screen's surface is not damaged.
Doyle says that most of the glass surfaces, including the famous "Gorilla Glass™" by Corning™ have an Oleophobic coating on the screen surface. This coating is important to the hardness of the glass and how the touch sensation interacts with the electronics of the device itself; it also prevents scratching.
"If this coating gets worn off, or washed off by household cleaning products, it will cause the device's touch sensation to malfunction," Doyle says. "Accurate Imaging's screen protectors will not only protect the screen coatings, but also the screen surface."
About Accurate Imaging Resources:
Since 1978, Accurate Imaging Resources has sold polyester film products in the facsimile and bar code/label printer market. The same base film that is used in thermal transfer film ribbons is now being used to protect and offer health-conscious functions for cell phone, tablet and other screen use. The newly-branded Accurate Films' product line plans to add more devices that cater to Point of Sale (POS) cash registers, kiosks and medical device markets.

Facebook App From Business Competence To Go Head To Head With Facebook's 'Nearby'
Facebook applications are often provided by small developers around the world, and this is the richest resource of Facebook. Now it is the turn of Business Competence, a small and virtuous Italian company that have developed Facearound, the new Facebook app.
Jan 30, 2013, 06:22 EST
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Currently Facebook is the most famous and used social-network in the world. Solidly on top of the social media pyramid, the Zuckerberg's creature is not only a virtual home for billions of people, but also the perfect test bench for many developers who implement on Facebook their own projects. This is, without a doubt, Facearound's case.
Facearound is a Facebook App.
Created by the Italian IT company Business Competence, Facearound landed on the social network in September 2012 with brilliant results (number 1 download in the "Social" category on Apple Store and more than 75,000 fans on Facebook, just to name a few).
Facearound, as an inner app, moves through Facebook's users and their friends lists, and produces a well-detailed map of the "places of interests" nearby.
"Nearby", instead, is the Facebook own creature landed on the social-network just a few weeks ago (December 2012) that basically works just in the same way - except for the original dealing/couponing system that characterizes Facearound.
In fact, as said by Pierguido Iezzi (Facearound founder) "Some of the characteristics of Facearound remain unique, such as its dealing/couponing integrated system that does not require intermediation fees".
As per usual, Facebook's biggest value is given by the multitude of projects and apps created by single developers and software houses from all over the world.
"There is a fact we must reckon with," Iezzi explains. "The most popular social-network in the world needs continuous development of new services in order to keep growing. Since the very beginning, Facebook has always appreciated the added value given by the developers, and sometimes Italian creativity and know-how place themselves ahead of entrepreneurial giants".
Extremely meritocratic, Zuckerberg's platform gives attention to each good idea - it doesn't matter if it comes from a student locked into his own room or from a well-known company.
The game is open now between Facebook and Business Competence, the company behind Facearound: a giant on one side, and the small Italian company on the other side, but it is well known that communication is not only the bedrock of social media, but also the foundation of any good idea and cooperation.
