Noise From Rear Focus
jnb1 replied to vegas's topic in Ford Focus ClubMay sound like a stupid suggestion, but look at the parcel shelf. That is notorious for little squeaks and rattles.
Mechanic Advice
jnb1 replied to John Jones's topic in Ford Focus ClubAs already stated, find yourself another garage. Going in blind without a quote is always asking for trouble, as once its done, you almost have to pay, no matter what price he gives you There was an article recentlly on money saving expert, stating that taking your car to a council depot garage can be a wise move, as they are responsible for the maintiance on your local police cars and ambulances etc. Therefore, there is no insentive to overcharge you, or to 'create faults' that don't need fixing. See if there is one in your area.
Window Tinting..
jnb1 replied to Ash88lfc's topic in Ford Focus ClubI would assume that the reason the insurance significantly increase some individuals premiums once they know of window tinting, is because many accidents (especially round my area) have been caused (or would of been less likely to happen), if it wasn't for the window tint.
Performance Info
jnb1 replied to Titanium - jj.h.jeffery's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubIf it hasn't already been mentoned, try Bluefin. I would go with these over any other remap, since it gives you the option to revert to stock at any time.
Your better off getting a bluefin mate, thats what I'll be doing in a month or two. That way you can switch between stock and mapped at any time. Nice Focus btw, loving the wheels :)
There is most definately such thing as a bad remap. My cousin works in a local tuning centre, and the amount of customers he has had in, asking him to get their ECU back to normal function due to a poor/bad remap is astounding. The remap has got to be made skillfully, otherwise it can put all sorts of values (such as Air flow, fuel air mixture) out whack.
I think with the Focus sport being such a nice car, we don't need to pretend :P. Just think, I could of ended up with a Purgeot 307cc or SportKa (which is actually quite nice, its just too femanine). Had to laugh though. On the test drive, I had a fiesta driving up my backside with a 'ZSOC' sticker on the windscreen. Put my foot down, and he was soon a small spec in my rear view mirror. Ahhh, the satisfaction :D
Just bought a Focus Sport 1.6
Just bought a Focus Sport 1.6
You have proved very helpful again Stoney, cheers :). Is it worth chipping the 1.6 in your opinion? From what I drove of it today, it didn't seem short on power. Also completely unrelated, but I found it rather interesting how the speedometer went up to 150mph in the Focus Sport. Seems a tad "optimistic" :)
I don't mean to needlessly bump this thread, but I'm curious about getting a bluefin map for my new focus sport. However, bluefin only have a chip for ones up to 2005 plate. Would a focus 05 map work on my 06 plate sport?
Bye Bye Zetec :(......purchasing New Car Tomorrow.....suggestions?
jnb1 replied to jnb1's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubJust cheked. Etis lists it as a 100PS. I plan on dropping a filter in and chipping it. However, to be honest the car has alot of pull anyway, so I don't exactly feel hard done by :) And cheers for the welcome, I shall go and make myself known :P
Bye Bye Zetec :(......purchasing New Car Tomorrow.....suggestions?
jnb1 replied to jnb1's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI haven't picked up the logbook yet, as I dont pick the car up until next week
Bye Bye Zetec :(......purchasing New Car Tomorrow.....suggestions?
jnb1 replied to jnb1's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubAfter much searching, I bought my new car today: A Focus Sport 1.6 with 43k miles on the clock, 2006 plate. Its immaculate both inside and out, and had 2 previous female owners. Paid £3,950 (Knocked the dealer down from £4,250) for it, and it comes with a full service and valet. Took it for a test drive, and I must say, I'm surprised how much pull it has in it for a 1.6. At 80, it was like sitting in an armchair with almost zero wind noise, and the car was eager to go alot futher. I'm picking it up next Wednesday. All in all, I think I made a good choice. One thing I'm curious to know, do the 06 focus' have the VVT engines in them, as I read somewhere that a few do. EDIT: I also see that the 1.6 Focus sport comes in 2 engines. The 100HP or the 115HP. As it didn't state on the car at the time, how will I know what engine I have?
Bye Bye Zetec :(......purchasing New Car Tomorrow.....suggestions?
jnb1 replied to jnb1's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubCheers for the advice. I'm going to look at a wide variety of cars today, everything from a seat to a vauxhall (although unless its the VXR, I won't be buying a corsa).

Brotts leasing Broken Bow sale barn
Undecided about rebuilding Gothenburg Livestock facility.
Wendell and Kathy Brott have considered rebuilding Gothenburg Livestock since a Feb. 25 fire destroyed the 77-year-old structure and offices that also housed Brott Auction.On Tuesday, Wendell said the couple still isn't sure whether or not they'll do it.
Since the end of March, the Brotts have leased the sale barn in Broken Bow from the Central Nebraska Commission Company.
Wendell, along with a couple of other auctioneers, conducts Thursday sales at the facility.
"It's kept us in business," he said.
Because of the drought and poor grazing conditions, sales have been brisk.
"We're selling a lot of culled cows and there's a big stocker, feeder sale coming up this Thursday," Wendell said, noting that a sale last week brought about 1,800 head into the ring.
Many of the sale barn's customers have stayed with Gothenburg Livestock since the facility burned to the ground except for a few weeks in March before the Brotts leased the Broken Bow facility.
If they choose, local and area producers can bring cattle to pens at Gothenburg Livestock and the business hauls them to Broken Bow to be sold, Wendell said.
Because of the large number of cattle producers are selling, he said sales will continue into the summer.
"A little moisture doesn't mean we're out of the drought, especially with 90-degree temperatures and wind.
In addition to the sale barn business in Broken Bow, Brott Auction still has consignment sales and household auctions and uses a cafe building on site for an office.
The structure is freestanding from the sale barn that burned down.
Wendell said the Gothenburg Improvement Company and city officials have offered support as the Brotts decide their next step.

I was playing a bit of the beta for this last night. It is the next game from the guys behind Chivalry: Medieval Warfare with the main gameplay elements being similar so the game is melee combat focused. However the twist for this game is that each class has three skills they can use. Due to the combat system it has the same feel as Chivalry which is great as I think the melee combat in that was pretty good. The skills system is a nice addition and brings a lot more strategy to fights.
Map wise from the hour I played last night they appear to be fairly well designed. There are no choke-points so the game doesn't get bogged down, which is something that used to happen in Chivalry. You can always run round and flank the enemy and in general the maps appear to be more open than in Chivalry where you had a few that were just long corridors.
The only negative I found was that some of the movement feels a bit sluggish. You can double jump and sprint, but I couldn't really notice any difference to my speed when sprinting and the double jump is a bit too finicky. You can mantle up walls, so if you double jump next to one you only need to get near to the top and you will mantle up it, which is good for taking enemies by surprise. But overall the jump feels like it is lacking in precision, I often found myself failing to double jump without really knowing why.
Overall I had a fair amount of fun, as I get older and slower it's nice to play a multiplayer combat game that doesn't necessarily rely on twitch aiming and timing. I can still have fun with my slightly reduced reflexes.
If you purchase the game you get access to the beta. I also have a spare beta key if anyone is interested.

RG3 Getting Married on July 6th; Gift Registry at Bed Bath and Beyond
RG3 has been engaged for a long time to Rebecca Liddicoat, but it looks like he is going to bite the bullet and tie the knot on July 6th. Our friends at Next Impulse Sports found their gift registry at Bed Bath and Beyond.
So, we know now that Rebecca and Robert are an honorary member of the Dollarnaires.
If you are one of those crazed Redskins fans, everything looks pretty affordable if you want to get them a gift.
I can not confirm or deny this, but I heard Rob Parker sent this to RG3's email after he read this story.

"Sustaining Campaign" begins
The Ridgway YMCA will again rely on donations for this year's "Sustaining Campaign" in an effort to continue to provide various programs and sustain the popular North Broad Street location in downtown Ridgway."Our small town YMCA offers as many programs as larger YMCAs at the fraction of the cost and we are able to do this with the help of this campaign," said Mary Lynne Bellotti, executive director of the Ridgway YMCA. "Our YMCA is a unique little YMCA-- we take pride in being able to offer something for everyone."The YMCA strives to help families grow together through developmental programs that build and strengthen families while providing community services; the YMCA encourages family togetherness and parental involvement. "The YMCA of Ridgway is the leader in programs that improve quality of life and nurture the health and wellness of all," Bellotti said. "That's why our programs and services teach people of all ages the healthy benefits of a healthy lifestyle."Whether it is swim lessons or daycare for our young at heart, a fitness class or a Silver Sneakers class for our active older adults or the many other programs for everyone in between, we truly have something for everyone."During the past year, facility officials have expanded the classes that are offered free to the members. "We are now offering 28 fitness classes, all free with your membership," Bellotti said. "By adding ZUMBA, family ZUMBA, step aerobics and teen BODY PUMP, we now have something for all ages and abilities."Through the annual "Sustaining Campaign," the Ridgway YMCA is able to bring programs like these to the community and surrounding areas. "Many of the YMCAs charge additional fees for many of their programs, but not us," Bellotti said. "We wanted to give the opportunity to all of our members to enjoy the classes that we have to offer at no additional fee. This was a turning point for us, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome."Pick up a copy of the Friday, Feb. 17, 2012 edition of The Ridgway Record for more.

Reminder to our e-news readers and any other motorcyclists out there you'd like to share this with… registration is now open for Bob's BMW 2015 Cuba trip scheduled for March 2-14, 2015. After reading through the below information, if you are at all interested, you are encouraged to contact us TODAY. As you well know windows of opportunity around Cuba can close quickly, not to mention the paperwork that must be processed, so do not delay!
Bob's BMW has partnered with MotoDiscovery to create a 12-day motorcycle adventure through Cuba, an exclusive opportunity to explore a country rarely visited by outsiders…at least not legally. The tour will be led by Christopher Baker, a Cuba travel expert and award-winning author. This tour is more than your typical motorcycle adventure, this is an opportunity to travel back in time and experience the culture through people-to-people interaction with locals. You will ride through the Cuban countryside, stopping along the way to meet natives and make friends, and learn about Cuban history.
Bob's BMW: People to People Cuba 2015
March 2-14, 2015
Cuba is a country that has long been off limits to visitors from the USA. Even after a half century of embargos, political saber rattling and intense debate, Cuba–a mere 90 miles from our shores—is as controversial as ever. But we choose to push politics aside and now MotoDiscovery is able to provide legal travel to Cuba for the U.S. motorcycle touring enthusiast.What makes this possible? You must be licensed by the US government or have access to a license that permits travel to Cuba. The licensed program must involve a full schedule of educational based activities that promote meaningful interaction with the people of Cuba as mandated by US Treasury Department and Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
For MotoDiscovery, "people to people" (P2P) is nothing new. Wherever we ride in the world, we regard these encounters as fundamental to the travel experience. And in this country, where in so many respects the clock stopped in 1959, making friends is easy, made even easier because we will be traveling by motorcycle.
This itinerary has been designed exclusively for Bob's BMW and friends and is unlike anything on the MotoDiscovery program. Cuba is on the brink of change. As we all know, windows of opportunity have been known to close when it comes to Cuba. But today we can ride Cuba thanks to MotoDiscovery, which received an OFAC "people-to-people license" in 2012. Cuba is on the cusp of major change, and there is no better time to experience it than now.
Suggested Date: March 2 – 14, 2015
Day 4. Cienfuegos – Depart Havana via the Autopista, lightly traveled main highway running the length of the island. In route we'll stop near Matanzas at Australia to engage with engineers who maintain (P2P) a still functional steam train that serviced the former sugar mill. From here we make our way to (P2P the Guama crocodile breeding center to learn about ecology and conservation. Then ride along the coast to Playa Giron, (P2P), sight of the Bay of Pigs invasion, to visit the museum dedicated to the battle. Continue to Cienfuego. Dinner at El Lagarto then (P2P) enjoy a welcome reception and exchange with community members at a neighborhood Committee for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR).

Classification: Amphibian
Spring peepers are small tree frogs. Their bodies have smooth skin in shades of tan, brown, green, or gray, with lines that form an X-shaped pattern on their backs. Their bellies are white to cream-colored, and they have dark bands on their legs and a dark line between their eyes. Spring peepers are well camouflaged to look like tree bark and have some ability to make themselves lighter or darker in order to better match their surroundings. The flat, terminal pad on each of the amphibian's toes allow it to grip onto plants, while its webbed hind feet give it support. Although they are good climbers, they spend most of their time on the ground, often hiding under leaf litter during the day. Spring peepers are rarely seen, but during mating season in the spring, they are often heard. They are generally about one inch (2.5 centimeters) in length, or about the length of a paper clip, and their weight averages from 0.11 to 0.18 ounces (3 to 5 grams).
Spring peepers can be found from southeastern Canada to the eastern United States, south to northern Florida and west to Minnesota and eastern Texas. They live in moist, wooded areas, fields, and grassy lowlands near ponds and wetlands. Spring peepers hibernate during the winter in soft mud near ponds, under logs, and in holes or loose bark in trees. Snakes, salamanders, large carnivorous insects, raptors, and other birds prey on adult spring peepers. Tadpoles are eaten by aquatic invertebrates and salamander larvae.
Adult spring peepers come out to feed in the late afternoon and early evening, while subadults feed in the early morning to late afternoon. They generally eat beetles, , flies, and spiders. Tadpoles feed on algae and microorganisms.
Life History
Spring peepers are known for the males' mating call—a high-pitched whistling or peeping sound repeated about 20 times a minute. However, the faster and louder they sing, the greater the chances of attracting a mate. They often congregate near water and sing in trios, with the deepest-voiced frog starting the call. They begin breeding early in the spring and call on warm spring nights and during the day in rainy or cloudy weather. Females lay their eggs in vernal pools, ponds, and other wetlands where fish are not present. A female may lay anywhere from 750 to 1,200 eggs, which attach to submerged aquatic vegetation. Males fertilize the eggs as they are laid. Depending on the temperature, eggs can hatch within two days to two weeks. The tadpoles have gills to breathe underwater and tails to help them swim. Tadpoles transform into frogs over the course of 6 to 12 weeks. Spring peepers are said to have short lives, living three to four years at most.
These frogs are common and widespread. However, loss of wetland habitat does pose a threat. Populations are decreasing in some areas.
Fun Fact
Spring peepers are very tolerant of cold conditions. They can withstand freezing during winter hibernation due to a natural "antifreeze" in their blood.

A Halifax senior charged in a double homicide at a camp on the Eastern Shore five years ago has been granted bail with the Crown's consent.
Elmer Percy Higgins, 65, appeared in Nova Scotia Supreme Court on Thursday with lawyer Karen Endres.
Higgins, who is ill, was brought into the courtroom in a wheelchair.
Justice Glen McDougall ordered Higgins released on a $35,000 recognizance with one surety and placed him on house arrest at his home on Herring Cove Road.
Firefighters responded to a report of a blaze at a camp along Highway 374 in Sheet Harbour on Dec. 12, 2012.
The bodies of Matthew Hebb, 22, and Earle Stewart, 59, were found in the cabin. Both men had been shot.
Higgins and his wife, Karen Marie Higgins, 50, were arrested and charged in August. They each face two counts of second-degree murder and several firearms charges.
The Crown consented to bail for Karen Higgins in September.
On Thursday, the judge ordered Elmer Higgins to remain on his property except for four hours every Friday for personal needs, and when dealing with medical emergencies and appointments, and legal commitments.
He cannot possess firearms, have contact with 39 people listed as potential Crown witnesses, or be within 50 metres of the Sobeys grocery store on Herring Cove Road unless he's attending a medical clinic in the same building.
Higgins must check in with Halifax Regional Police by phone every Friday, has to deposit his passport with police and is forbidden from going to Sheet Harbour unless he notifies police in advance.
The couple are scheduled to have a preliminary inquiry in Dartmouth provincial court in January.

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 6, 2013) - The Honourable John Duncan, Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, issued the following statement today regarding Canada's decision to appeal the January 8, 2013 Federal Court decision in Daniels v. Canada.
"The Harper Government continues to work in partnership with Aboriginal organizations and provincial governments to enhance the economic opportunities for Métis and non-status Indians. Our Government must ensure that programs and services to Aboriginal Peoples are fiscally sustainable.
Given that the Federal Court decision in the CAP/Daniels case raises complex legal issues, it is prudent for Canada to obtain a decision from a higher court. After careful consideration of the decision, Canada has filed an appeal, and it would be inappropriate to comment further as the case is before the courts."

If someone gave you $35 to spend on professional attire, do you think that would be possible? I am assuming most of you said no. Don't worry, I was with you too. That is until I actually went out and accomplished this.
Career Services gave me $35 to find a professional outfit to wear to events. The best and probably only way to accomplish this is at a thrift store. Career adviser Cassie Curry and I went to take on this mission. What I found was unbelievable. I really found this hard to believe, but it turned out to be a total success. One of the most shocking things was that I was able to find more than just one outfit. I was able to find a professional suit, a very fun hot pink blazer, a few skirts, shirts and even shoes.
It was a fun outing and not only did we accomplish our goal I learned a few things as well. First I learned that Cassie has great taste and knew just where to find everything. I am 100 percent positive that I would not have succeeded without her. Some of the things I learned were what you can and cannot wear to certain events and outings in the professional field; I also learned that it is unprofessional to wear open-toed shoes to a professional outing such as an interview. Lastly, I learned that even though this is common sense, you should wear neutral colors to a professional gathering or interview and my pink blazer would definitely be inappropriate.
If you have any questions on what you should or should not wear to an interview or professional outing, make sure you pay a visit to Career Services to get some great advice!

Battalgazi is a town in Eastern Anatolia, north of Malatya.
Battalgazi was the original location of Malatya, as implied by its local (and formerly official) name, Eski Malatya (i.e., "Old Malatya").
The settlement in the vicinity—the Arslantepe mound (Arslantepe Höyüğü) in particular, which lies to the southeast of Battalgazi, close to the town of Orduzu—dates back to the 4th millenium BCE. However, it was the Hittites, originated from Central Anatolia and conquered the area in 14th century BCE, who gave the area its name—Malidiya, possibly related to the Hittite word of melid, which means "honey".
The area was subsequently ruled by Assyrians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Armenians, Crusaders, Seljuk Turks, Mamluk Turks, and Ottoman Turks.
In 1838, during a war between Ottoman Empire and the forces of Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt, the Ottoman army seized the town, forcing the local population to nearby Aspuzu, then a collection of cottages amidst the orchards in the outskirts of the town. After the war, the people decided not to return to their battered town, settling permanently in Aspuzu, and renaming it to Malatya.
The abandoned old town has later been re-populated, and after being called as Eski Malatya for more than a hundred years, officially renamed as Battalgazi in 1987, after a legendary warrior who is thought to have borned in the region.
Today, with its 14,000 inhabitants, Battalgazi is a typical Turkish provincial town with mostly concrete low rise buildings and some faint remnants from its past.
Get in[edit]
Battalgazi lies 10 km north of Malatya, and a wide avenue free of potholes and with seperated directions through lush apricot groves connects each other.
It's possible to catch public buses (run by Malatya City Council–Malatya Belediyesi, lines #B1, #25, #251) and minibuses (recognizable by large banners saying Battalgazi Koop in front of them, which is the name of the company that runs them), which depart every 15 minutes, from various stops in downtown Malatya. However, to avoid long de-tours through the city, it is best to wait for them in the stop just off the roundabout where the road to Battalgazi branches off the main highway. (Directions from the central square: walk east along Cumhuriyet Caddesi and Kışla Caddesi for 500 mt. You will arrive at an intersection, turn left into Sivas Caddesi here; look for the sign saying Aslantepe Höyüğü in the centre of that intersection. After a walk of about a kilometre along Sivas Caddesi, past a stadium, you will arrive at a large roundabout with traffic lights on the main intercity highway. Cross the highway at those traffic lights, and there you have the bus stop on the right, 50 metres down the street.)
A one-way ride on both the buses and minibuses costs 1.25 TL. Minibuses can be a little crowded on the weekends, but it's a 15-minute ride maximum anyway.
Get around[edit]
Once you step out of the bus/minibus at the town's central square, you have no other option but to walk. But note that while signage for street names is adequate (usually on small blue signs on the walls of the buildings on the corners of the streets), the signage for interesting sights is woefully rare or even totally non-existant, so either have a print-out of a detailed map of the area before you go, or trust your luck on finding the sights.
You will see lots of local kids around the main sights of interest, and be ready to be shouted at by them ("hello, tourist!" seems to be their favourite phrase). Some will (persistently) try their broken and limited English on you, and might recite what the buildings were used for, etc. You may accept their guidance but keep in mind that they are doing this in the expectation of a tip, so do return the favour if you chose to take a tour with them.
They may keep following you for a while even if you are clearly disinterested, but be patient and they will give up sooner or later. A kind "good bye!" might help.
See[edit][add listing]
The town is littered by many historic structures, most of which date back to Seljuk era, and some of which were renovated recently, while others waiting for the same favour in a halfly ruined state.
Of these, "must-see"s include:
A number of other tombs and smaller monuments, parts of which are in ruins, are scattered throughout the town.
A neighbourhood between the Great Mosque and the central square consists of whitewashed houses and streets surfaced by large stones, creating a nice but faux preserved townscape, as none of those buildings are actually historic.
Ruins of Roman-built city walls, including a re-built arch gate, can be seen just off the road from Malatya.

The area code of the town is (+90) 422.
There is a small postoffice (PTT) in the town, open M-F 8:30AM-5PM.

Cost Benefits Boost Industrial Wireless Market in Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand, Finds Frost & Sullivan
Reduced wiring, engineering, installation, and maintenance costs fuel wireless migration
Jan 06, 2013, 10:16 EST
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Jan. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The efficiency and reduced costs of wireless technology has given a boost to the industrial wireless market in Southeast Asia (SEA), Australia, and New Zealand (ANZ). The market will continue to grow as several multinationals investing in industries across the region look to enhance their infrastructure by leveraging wireless technology.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.industrialautomation.frost.com), Southeast Asia and Australia-New Zealand Industrial Wireless Market, finds that the market earned revenues of over US$98.3 million in 2011 and estimates this to more than double to reach US$200.0 million in 2018.
Australia and Malaysia offer huge potential for industrial wireless applications. Australia, being the most developed country in the region, serves as an ideal destination for wireless vendors offering customized solutions to secure large installations. The energy sector, especially oil and gas, will be a major end user across SEA and ANZ.
"Installation of wirelessly connected assets is approximately ten times cheaper than wired ones, and this cost advantage encourages wireless migration," said Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Krishnan Ramanathan. "Wireless communication as a networking alternative offers quick start-ups and efficient data-gathering, further enhancing value and long-term returns."
In addition, wireless technologies decrease human exposure to hazardous environments since they minimize the need to record readings manually. They facilitate frequent measurement and early detection of issues, reducing accidents. They are also less prone to damage and sabotage than wired systems.
However, the absence of a unified global standard restrains the adoption of wireless solutions in SEA and ANZ. Since each technology works on a different platform, compatibility issues can arise.
Industrial wireless networks also require tight security to protect wireless signals and prevent unauthorized access to data. Current wireless encryption protocols are difficult to handle and common users must be educated on the ways to address these security issues.
"Suppliers must communicate the benefits of wireless solutions to users that feel it is fraught with risks and therefore, prefer to use proven technologies," concluded Ramanathan. "As users recognize the potential of wireless devices in monitoring as well as in process control, the SEA and ANZ market will witness steady growth."

Schedule your campus visit today!
This year, Marian University's Institute for Green and Sustainable Science (IGSS) was one of three environmental finalists for the 2014 Indianapolis Sustainability Awards.
Directed by Carl Lecher, Ph.D. '97, associate professor of chemistry, and Rob Macrae, Ph.D., associate professor of chemistry, IGSS is a research, education, and outreach center, created to engage students and faculty in the study of sustainability issues, particularly in ecology, green chemistry, and energy science.
Since its inception in 2009, IGSS has grown significantly and in 2013, received a highly competitive grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to fund its well-regarded summer program, a seven-week, research-based course taught by Marian University faculty that creates a collaborative environment where individual and collective efforts lead to research and scholarly work within the field of sustainability.
Last summer, for the first time, IGSS hosted a cohort of science teachers, which allowed them to make a large-scale impact on the teaching of environmental sustainability in the high school setting.
"We envisioned a program in sustainability unlike any other in the country, had the dedication to create it, and the determination to seek and obtain the crucial funding from the EPA. We worked to forge relationships with local environmental entities, develop research partnerships, improve the educational portion of the program, and market the program to interested parties. The resulting 2013 summer program was the largest and most impactful summer program in the history of IGSS," said Dr. Lecher.
This summer, a new cohort of science teachers will study sustainability at Marian University, with the potential to impact how and what more than 2,500 high school students will learn about sustainability.

FLEXITY Swift – Stockholm, Sweden
Since 1997 the Stockholm transport authority (Stockholms Lokaltrafik AB) ordered a total of 31 BOMBARDIER FLEXITY Swift light rail vehicles. The vehicles are based on the successful concept of the Cologne LRV's and excel in low-floor technology.
The passengers benefit from level entrance, comfortable seating as well as from special communication features. The design includes proven standardised components, however, a modern exterior design according to the client's wishes could be realised due to the modular manufacturing concept. Since 1999 the first vehicles are operating successfully in the southern outskirts of Stockholm. As a result of the continued expansion of the light rail network the operation of the FLEXITY Swift vehicles is increasing steadily.

Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for war, stir up the mighty men, Let all the men of war draw near, let them come up.
Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; Let the weak say, "I am a warrior."
Joel 3:9-10
No, this is not an ironic misquotation of the well-known words from the prophet Isaiah about beating swords into plowshares, which are inscribed on the wall of the UN. This one comes from a later biblical prophet. I have never seen it inscribed on any church or synagogue wall. Little wonder. It is a call to arms, something of an embarrassment to those who would like to claim that although someone else's religion might inspire them to violence, ours certainly does not. And it is not an isolated text. Both the Old and New Testament are replete with similar, if even less widely quoted, ones. According to the Gospel of Matthew, even the Prince of Peace tells his disciples, "I have come not to bring peace, but a sword" (Matthew 10:34).
In the aftermath of September 11, we all learned a lot about religion and the American psyche. Droves of people crowded into prayer and memorial services, lit candles, sang hymns many of them scarcely knew and listened, sometimes in near desperation, to readings from ancient scriptures. Of course, they were looking for sympathy and consolation. But they were also looking for something more, perhaps some intangible frame of reference that might bring a bit of meaning to their rage, fear and bewilderment. It is notable that in a society that is so famously dependent on therapies of all kinds, the therapists were not much in evidence. When the cataclysm came, what the historian Sidney Mead once called "the nation with the soul of a church" groped for something deeper but more elusive. The sheer enormity of the horror visited upon us in Manhattan suddenly made our various feel-good remedies look a bit thin. Neither New Age nostrums nor channeling can help when it comes to such an eruption of primal malice.
In his 1995 book The Death of Satan, subtitled How Americans Have Lost the Sense of Evil, Andrew Delbanco posed what has suddenly become an achingly pertinent question. Now that the classical symbols of radical evil–Satan, apocalypse, etc.–seem to have evaporated, how, he asked, would Americans respond if we ever again experienced radical evil? "I believe our culture is now in crisis," he wrote, "because evil remains an inescapable experience for all of us, while we no longer have a symbolic language for describing it." Some years earlier Susan Sontag, in her book Illness as Metaphor, asked how we could possibly regain our moral bearings "when we have a sense of evil; but no longer the religious or philosophical language to talk intelligently about evil." These are stubborn questions, and I am not sure the classical religious traditions, already so compromised by their quest for a share of the booming spirituality market, will provide the needed help. But I can understand why so many people are foraging around in them. Did Job or Augustine or Dante know something we don't know? I am quite sure, however, that President Bush's response to this symbolic vacuum–namely, that we are now waging a war against evil, and that one day there will be a clear victory–will not satisfy many people for very long.

Malloy offers refund to state taxpayers
Citing 'shared recovery,' governor offers ways to spend projected $500M state budget surplus
DERBY -- Gov. Dannel P. Malloy came to the state's smallest city Thursday to offer up an election-year menu of ways to spend Connecticut's projected half-billion-dollar budget surplus.
In what he's calling a "shared recovery" for the middle class -- following the largest tax increase in state history back in 2011 -- Malloy said he wants to make permanent his strategies for using future budget surpluses.
Individuals who earned less than $200,000 last year would get checks for $55 under the governor's budget, while joint filers under $400,000 in pay would get $110 under the proposal, which Malloy will present to the General Assembly next week.
In reaction, the director of the University of Connecticut's Center for Economic Analysis said that as many as 1,500 jobs could be created by the $155 million rebate.
Minority Republicans, while conceding that the rebate is acceptable, charged that Malloy is ignoring the state's longer-term budget challenges.

Return $155 million to residents
Plow $250 million into the state's emergency reserve fund
Put $100 million into the state's under-funded pension plan, a move that over 20 years could save taxpayers as much as $430 million
Give checks for $55 to earners making less than $200,000 last year
Give $110 to joint filers with earnings under $400,000
Malloy will also ask lawmakers to put $250 million into the state's emergency reserves and invest $100 million in the state employee pension funds that over the next 20 years can grow to as much as $430 million.
Malloy called the rebates a "modest" return for consumer payments in state sales and gasoline taxes. He promised that his upcoming budget request will eliminate projected billion-dollar deficits in future fiscal years.
"This three-pronged plan is part of a responsible shared vision of relief," Malloy told reporters in a City Hall news conference presided over by Mayor Anita Dugatto. "I am also introducing legislation this year that mandates that all future surpluses be used only for three specific purposes: to bolster the Rainy Day Fund, to pay down long-term debt and to provide some measure of tax relief."
The Democratic governor's proposal, with the backdrop of this tiny, five-square-mile Naugatuck Valley community of about 13,000 residents, came a week after minority Republicans proposed returning $247 million to state residents and businesses.
But with 98-53 and 22-14 Democratic majorities in the House and Senate, respectively, Malloy's plan, which will be formally presented during his State of the State budget address on Feb. 5, has a better chance of ultimate passage than the GOP's proposals.
Speaker of the House Brendan Sharkey, D-Hamden, said Thursday he supports the governor's plan.
"I've been advocating for putting our current surplus toward long-term debt reduction and beefing up our Rainy Day Fund because it will help protect future taxpayers, so these investments make sense," Sharkey said in a statement. "A sales and gasoline tax refund at this time will also provide some immediate relief for people without impacting future budgets."
Fred Carstensen, professor of finance and economics at UConn and director of the Connecticut Center for Economic Analysis, said Thursday that Malloy's proposal makes more fiscal sense than the Republicans' plan.
"You don't want to change the tax structure because in the out years (following the 2014-2015 budget), we're heading for deficits," Carstensen said, adding that the rebate structure means the $55 and $110 checks would not be taxable income.
"It's exactly the right way to handle it," Carstensen said in a phone interview. He said the $155 million can be translated into 1,000 to 1,500 new jobs at a time when Connecticut saw only 11,000 new jobs in 2013.
House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk, who introduced the Republican plan last week, said Thursday that the rebate is "a good thing," but "typical of election-year tactics."
He conceded that the investments in state pensions and the emergency reserve called the Rainy Day Fund were "more responsible" than the rebates.
The state's last major tax refunds were in 1998 -- also a gubernatorial election year -- and 1999.
"Anytime we are talking about giving tax revenues back to the people who earned them, it is a good thing,'' Cafero said in a statement from his Capitol office. "But this proposed tax rebate is perhaps the least-creative option. I'm glad to see that Gov. Malloy stuck to the Republican principle of not using this so-called 'surplus' money to blow even greater holes in future budgets," Cafero said.
The Republican plan would speed up the scheduled tax exemption on clothing and footwear; exempt non-prescription drugs from sales taxes; and end a $60 million special unemployment-tax assessment on all businesses.
Remaining parts of the surplus would go into the Rainy Day Fund and to reduce long-term debt.
Veteran state Rep. Themis Klarides, R-Derby, said despite Malloy's statements to the contrary, the state is looking at a $1.1 billion deficit in the budget that starts July 1, 2015.
"I'm pleased the governor has finally recognized that Connecticut families are in need of tax relief," Klarides said. "One budget cycle ago, he signed off on the largest tax hike in state history -- increasing everything from income tax, to sales tax, to corporate tax -- and now is doing an election year about-face, hailing tax relief as a priority. 'Rebates' sounds great in a sound bite, but we're still stuck in a pattern of going from fiscal crisis to crisis, refusing to address the structural shortfalls at hand."
Senate Minority Leader John McKinney, R-Fairfield, who is seeking the GOP gubernatorial nomination, recalled Thursday that the 2011 tax hikes included raising the sales tax from 6 percent to 6.35 percent and an increase on income and gasoline taxes, as well as a $200 reduction in the state's property-tax credit.
"Working families, small businesses and our economy in general need tax relief, but that relief should be permanent," McKinney said. "If the governor believes, as I do, that Connecticut families need real relief from his high sales taxes and gas taxes, then make the necessary spending cuts and lower the sales tax and gas tax permanently. A one-time 'sales and gas tax rebate' from the governor who gave us permanent tax hikes in both the sales and gas tax is the height of hypocrisy."

Elite linemen compete at BadgerSports event
PISCATAWAY, N.J. - While the Mid-Atlantic region was bombarded with snow ranging from 30 inches in Maryland to roughly 8 inches at Rutgers University in Piscataway, N.J., the high school prospect evaluation business didn't take a break. And while the weather kept some away, the first day of the BadgerSports Elite Lineman Challenge presented by New Level Athletics rolled on with many big names in attendance. Perhaps no one was more intriguing than Fort Piece (Fla.) Fort Pierce Central defensive end/offensive tackle Giorgio Newberry on Saturday.
Newberry, a 6-foot-5, 257-pounder wasn't the biggest name expected to attend heading into the event but the versatile big man certainly stood out more than anyone else. Newberry easily passed the eyeball test upon arrival, looked smooth and athletic in drills and was hard to contain in one-on-ones on the defensive side of the ball. And when he flipped over to take a few reps on the offensive side of things, he was dominant there as well.
Newberry, who has early offers from Florida, LSU, Tennessee, Clemson, Rutgers, South Carolina, North Carolina, Boston College, Virginia, West Virginia and others, has a terrific frame, long arms and quick feet. On defense he has an excellent swim move, a quick first step and uses misdirection to fool opponents. On offensive, he is quick out of his stance, uses his long arms to keep opponents off balance and keeps his feet moving.
In addition to Newberry, the most impressive defensive prospect on the day was Thomasville (Ga.) Thomas County Central defensive end Ray Drew. Drew is tall and lean at 6 feet 5 and 236 pounds with very long arms and excellent speed to the outside. He was too much for most linemen to handle when he used his speed rush and when he mixed things up and changed direction, he left them grasping at air. Drew won all but a few one-on-one battles and was excellent in drills, showing good agility and excellent footwork. One of the highlights of the first day was when Drew went against Newberry when the latter switched over to offense. Newberry got the better of the battle on Saturday.
Drew has offers from Florida State, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Notre Dame and many others early in the process. While he claims no leaders, many feel that the Seminoles are the team to beat. His school sent two players to FSU back in 2008 when defensive tackle Anthony McCloud and running back Debrale Smiley signed. Former FSU great Charlie Ward also hails from the school.
Others who stood out on defense included fellow defensive ends Kevin Miller and Chase Hounshell and defensive tackles Daryl Stephenson and Monte Golden. Miller, from Delran (N.J.) Holy Cross, has good size at 6-4 and 230 pounds and won most of his one-on-one battles. Hounshell, from Kirtland (Ohio) Lake Catholic, has even better size at 6-5 and 245 pounds and was one of the better bull rushers at the event. Stephenson, a 6-foot-3, 270-pounder from Parlin (N.J.) Sayreville War Memorial, showed off excellent quickness and agility for a big man while Golden, a 6-foot-1, 280-pounder, displayed a lot of power and natural leverage as a defensive and offensive lineman.
While the defensive linemen were impressive, the offensive line group was much deeper. And the battle to be the best in the group was a competitive one.
Making a case for the top spot on Saturday was offensive guard Anthony Zettel from West Branch (Mich.) Ogemaw Heights. The 6-foot-4, 255-pounder has plenty of room to fill out his frame and was the most active and energetic of the linemen in drills. And in the one-on-ones, Zettel showed a great combination of power, leverage and foot speed to win almost all of his reps. Zettel recently received offers from Michigan and Michigan State and will be at Notre Dame's junior day soon. He grew up a Wolverine fan but is keeping his options open.
Vero Beach, Fla., offensive guard Marcus Jackson was also impressive, showing off quick feet and good balance for a 6-foot-3, 280-pounder. Jackson, an early commitment to Miami over offers from South Carolina and Florida, flashed good footwork in drills and anchored very well in one-on-ones.
Port St. Lucie (Fla.) Treasure Coast offensive guard Mike Romano was also impressive in one-on-ones as was fellow Floridian Garrett Clark from Daytona Beach (Fla.) Mainland. Romano, a 6-foot-3, 275-pounder, adjusted well to misdirection, played with good leverage and didn't lunge while Clark, a 6-foot-4, 278-pounder, showed a mean streak, was physical and aggressive and kept his feet moving. Both prospects did a good job of riding their opponents to the outside.
Lynchburg (Va.) Liberty Christian Academy offensive tackle Grant Jones got better as the first day progressed. After struggling a bit early in drills, Jones became more and more comfortable and peaked at the one-on-ones where he beat Newberry in his last rep before being forced to retire for the day due to a nasty cut over his eye. Jones has very good size and uses his long arms well and has sneaky agility for a massive lineman.
Scottsdale (Ariz.) Saguaro offensive guard Cyrus Hobbi, a 6-foot-3, 285-pounder, was arguably the best technician in drills, showing great feet and excellent form, although he struggled a bit in one-on-ones. He has an early offer from Arizona State.
And the biggest prospect of the day was Sioux Falls (S.D.) Washington tackle Derek Farniok who checked in at 6-8 and 315 pounds. While Farniok struggled with quick outside pass rushers, he showed a strong work ethic, adequate agility for a huge tackle and was effective when he extended his arms. Farniok has an early offer from Minnesota.
Two of the top offensive linemen at the event came from a state not known for producing talent. Dover, Del., tackle/guard Trip Thurman and Wilmington (Del.) Salesianum School guard Evan Mulrooney were both impressive in different aspects on Saturday.
Thurman, a 6-foot-5, 295-pounder, showed off the best feet on the day in drills and has excellent instincts. He has a great build with a powerful upper body and thick legs and he is very explosive and sudden. He struggled a bit in one-on-ones mainly because he was lunging, but with a slight adjustment he has the potential to be dominant.
Mulrooney, slightly smaller at 6-4 and 275 pounds, didn't stand out as much in drills but was better in the one-on-ones, showing off an aggressive, tenacious style and competing to the whistle each time. Mulrooney got out of his stance quickly and was hard to beat to the outside.
Thurman has early offers from Boston College, Rutgers, Maryland, UConn, Wisconsin and others and is hearing from Tennessee, Penn State, Florida State and Oregon. Thurman's parents grew up in Knoxville, Tenn. and his mom went to Tennessee so an offer from the Vols would be special. However, Thurman said it will not factor in his decision.
Mulrooney doesn't have any offers just yet but is hearing from Rutgers, UConn, Maryland, Boston College, Virginia and others. He grew up a Penn State fan.
There were a few standout 2012 prospects on day one as well. On the offensive side of things, guard Ryan Brodie from Long Branch, N.J., was exceptional and even beat Newberry on the last one-on-one of the day. Brodie, a 6-foot-4, 265-pounder, still needs to fill out his frame but his footwork, smarts and technique make his upside excellent. With another full year before recruiting heats up, he's one to watch for sure.
And on defense, tackle Eddie Goldman, who also plays offensive guard, was outstanding as well. Goldman, a 6-foot-3, 290-pounder from Washington (D.C.) Friendship Collegiate Academy, showed off a fierce bull rush and a quick first step in one-on-ones and he was solid in drills as well. Goldman already has verbal offers from Maryland and New Mexico.

This giveaway is now closed…and here is the winner:
Linda says, "I follow you on FB and if I were to win the $100 my goal would be to start a membership to our local gym."
Congratulations Linda and to all of you who are committing to fitness! Way to go!
**Our winner has been notified via email with further instructions. Stay tuned to $5 Dinners for our next exciting giveaway!**
Above is what hangs on the wall in our office. A constant reminder of our family's commitment to fitness.
What you see is a framed *** that my mom had made for me after I ran the Marine Corps Marathon in 2000. Ten years ago, last weekend, I ran my first (and probably only) marathon. It was an amazing experience…complete with sassiness, sore legs, Tootsie rolls at mile 22, a nice view of Watergate where I stopped to say Hi to my dad and stretch my legs, a running finish, and a race for a cure. Oh, and there was a space blanket, purple Team in Training comradery for all of us where purple tanktops, and a dad who stalked me rode the metro around DC to different stops along the course to cheer me on!
It was an amazing experience. And one I'd like to repeat…but the chances of that happening with little people around is slim. Really, none. (Perhaps when they are older…training for a marathon with little people around takes more time and commitment than I have to offer right now.)
Half marathons will do. They are my thing.
I'm back to hitting the pavement and have run several miles this week. Tomorrow I've got my final long run before the half marathon in a few weeks. This is what my Saturday will look like.
Bible Study. 10 mile run. Drink water. Eat. Stretch. Eat. Epsom salts bath. Drink water. Stretch. Sink into the couch. Eat. Drink water. Stretch. Another Epsom salts bath. Eat. Drink water…
(You get the idea. Most of the day will be centered around this long run…and now you see why training for longer than a half marathon would prove difficult!)
I have made the Commit to Fit Pledge. Have you?!?
If so, then this giveaway is for you. It's for $100. 100 bucks. 100 smackers. For you to invest in your fitness goals.
For me, it was the half marathon entry fee.
For you, it could be a series of 5K entry fees. Or a gym membership. Or Zumba classes.
This money is to help you reach your personal fitness goals. (Please note, proof of purchase will be required before your reimbursement can be sent. Winner and I will work out all those details. Failure to show proof of purchase in a timely manner will result in a new winner being chosen.)

By Jennifer Hansen, Mono County Sheriff Public Information Officer
Every May 15, in honor of National Peace Officers Memorial Day, law enforcement agencies nationwide join hands to honor those brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice of giving their life in the line of duty. On average, one law enforcement officer is killed in the line of duty somewhere in the United States every 53 hours. Since the first known in line of duty death in 1791, more than 19,000 U.S. law enforcement officers have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Former President George Bush said, "It takes a special kind of person to serve in law enforcement. Most people run from danger. Law enforcement officers run towards it."
The Mono County Sheriff's Department hosted the first memorial ceremony, on the lawn in front of the Bridgeport courthouse, to honor the fallen law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty in the Eastern Sierra. "We are here today to honor those brave men and women who went to work one day and never returned home," said Sheriff Richard C. Scholl to start the ceremony.
"Unlike most other careers, the brave men and women who embark upon a life in law enforcement know fully that they might one day be called upon to lay down their lives in the call of duty.
Deputies and police officers representing Mono County Sheriff's Department; Inyo County Sheriff's Department; Mammoth Lakes Police Department; Bishop Police Department; California Highway Patrol; California Department of Fish and Game; Mountain Warfare Training Center Police Department; and Mono County Paramedics stood together to honor all the lives lost in the Eastern Sierra. A moment of silence was given to those fallen Eastern Sierra officers: Sheriff N.F. Scott (1862, MCSO); Sheriff Thomas Passmore (1878, ICSO); Sheriff William Moore (1879, ICSO); Deputy William Edwards (1907, MCSO); Constable Walter Reed (1912, ICSO); Sheriff James Dolan (1915; MCSO); Deputy Lemoyne Hazard (1925, ICSO); Inspector James Randolph Jr. (1979, ICSO); Police Officer Richard Perkins (2001, Bishop PD); and Officer Paul Pino (2003, CHP).
"As we leave here today, have in your thoughts the men and women who go to work each day as the protectors of society never knowing if that day may be their last," stated Sheriff Richard C. Scholl as the ceremony concluded and the wreath was laid to honor those law enforcement officers of the Eastern Sierra who have the ultimate sacrifice of giving their life in the line of duty.
