Technological developments have resulted in a substantial increase over the last several years in the number of employers offering telecommuting as an alternative work arrangement, and the number of employees who choose it.Although telecommuting arrangements can be beneficial to employers and employees, many employers have failed to adequately meet many of the legal compliance and liability challenges that telecommuting arrangements may present.Among the most serious of these challenges are wage and hour issues that present a minefield of potential liability for employers - liabilities that may be avoidable if the telecommuting arrangement is properly managed.An increasing number of wage and hour lawsuits, frequently collective or class actions, have been directed against employers who offer telecommuting arrangements.AGENDAThis training session will provide managers and legal advisers with the background they need concerning the legal landscape surrounding wage and hour issues applicable to telecommuting arrangements, and the management policies and practices they should implement to reduce risk. Covered topics include:
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you
attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live
versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form of training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without
any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back
at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous
times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the
presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions.

Marketing New Flexo Educational Program
- Published: June 01, 2008
The Foundation of Flexographic Technical Assn. (FFTA) has selected the corporate branding firm Sidewalk Designs to spearhead a marketing and promotional strategy for FFTA's newest educational initiative, the Technical Education Services Team (TEST).
The goal of TEST is to establish FFTA as the "gatekeeper" for the flexo industry's educational and training materials.

The Digital Filter Kit from Hoya offers everything you need to get started with your outdoor shooting.
UV Filter
UV filters are wise initial investments. They help protect your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs. This filter is multi-coated.
Circular Polarizer Filter
Light rays which are reflected become polarized. Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and also saturate colors providing better contrast. The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun. Circular polarizers are specifically designed for use with auto-focus SLR cameras. They will also work on manual systems and video cameras without problems.
Neutral Density Filter
Neutral Density filters have several uses and offer the possibility to achieve otherwise unachievable results. They enable the shooter to adjust exposure without affecting color balance. ND filters appear gray and reduce the amount of light reaching the film.
Determining which neutral density filter yields ideal results for any given lighting situation takes knowledge, experience and a collection of such filters. Speaking generally, the 2-stop value (ND 4x) effectively compensates average situations.
Hoya is one of the largest manufacturers of glass in the filter industry. In collaboration with its parent company, Tokina Optical, Hoya continues to strive to produce some of the best glass on the market. Currently, they hold 40% of the world's market for optical glass.
The kit comes with a handy filter pouch in which your filters will be safely guarded and that will fit within your gear bag.

On the other side of the coin, research reveals that one out of three Americans is obese, making over-fatness nothing short of a national epidemic (Harvard Health Letter, 1994). In spite of over 30 billion dollars spent annually on diet programs (New York Times News Service 1991), the incidence of obesity has increased by 25 percent in the last 15 years (Harvard Health Letter 1994). So what's wrong with this picture?
First, exercise does work, but too few people are doing it. Second, everyone is dieting, but diets don't work. Well, not everyone is dieting, but research reveals that one out of two American women and one out of four American men is presently on a calorie-restricted diet (Tufts University Diet and Nutrition Letter 1992).
But why don't diets work? If you cut down your calorie consumption you should lose weight, right? Yes, and you definitely do lose weight on calorie-restricted diets. However, your weight loss is almost always short-lived. Studies in this area show that 95 percent of all dieters regain all of the weight they lost within the following year (Brehm and Keller 1990). Whatever happened to will power?
Actually, willpower has very little to do with regaining the lost weight. It's much more a matter of physiology than psychology. First, about 25 percent of the weight loss is muscle tissue, and less muscle results in a lower metabolic rate (Ballor and Poehlman1994). In other words you have less vital tissue to service, so you burn fewer calories on a daily basis. Second, your body adjusts to the low calorie diet by further slowing your metabolism.
You may not notice the detrimental effects of a slow metabolism while you are dieting, but as soon as you increase your calorie intake, which you must do for survival purposes, you will be surprised at how quickly the lost weight is regained.
So why do people work so hard on something that works so poorly? Primarily because diets do produce satisfying short-term results. It's just the opposite with exercise, which may explain why few people take this approach to weight management. That is, short term changes in bodyweight are relatively small because exercisers typically add lean weight and lose fat weight at the same time.
For example, in a classic study conducted at Tufts University (Campbell 1994) 12 senior subjects were placed on a basic program of strength exercise. They performed about 30 minutes of strength training, three days a week, for 12 weeks. As a result they added three pounds of lean (muscle) weight, and lost four pounds of fat weight. Although their body weight changed by only one pound, they actually made a seven-pound improvement in body composition.
What's more, to keep the participants' body weight relatively constant the researchers had to increase their calorie intake throughout the study period. During the last few weeks of the study, the senior exercisers were eating 15 percent more calories every day to maintain their bodyweight. Unlike dieting, the strength exercise resulted in more muscle and more calories as the subjects lost fat. Of course, if the subjects had not increased their calorie consumption throughout the study they would have lost even more fat weight.

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (UK - BD RB)
Chris Gould takes a quick look at this most non-heinous Blu-ray release...
Bill and Ted (Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter) are high school no-hopers who dream of forming a rock band, but unless Ted can pass a history exam, he will be shipped off to military school. When a figure from the future arrives with a time-travelling telephone booth, Bill and Ted use it to leap in and out of history, meeting such people as Napoleon, Socrates and Billy the Kid on the way. (Taken from the official synopsis.)
From what I can tell this is a fairly straight port of the US release, which means a 2.35:1 (1080/24p AVC) transfer, albeit presented on a BD50 disc to accommodate the extras. Thinking about it, this is probably the first time I've seen Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure in its original theatrical ratio, as I first viewed it on VHS back in the nineties and subsequently on television broadcasts long before widescreen was commonplace. The overall quality isn't up there with the best catalogue titles, but it's not too bad all things considered. Grain is present throughout, and there's a reasonable level of detail, especially when compared to the standard definition DVD release (based on screen captures of the latter). What little softness there is would appear to result from the original photography, rather than any digital filtering. Colours are nicely saturated without looking cartoonish, and contrast is natural, neither crushing dark areas of the screen nor blowing out the highlights. I didn't spot any digital artefacts of note, and while there are a few film artefacts to be seen here and there they don't detract from the filmic nature of the presentation. This isn't quite an 'A grade' presentation, but it's a solid 'B'.
The disc includes both lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and LPCM 2.0 Stereo tracks. I went with the former for the purposes of the review and it marked the first time I'd ever heard the film in anything other than stereo. Most of the action occurs up front, with strong dialogue (save for one or two isolated incidents) and reasonable separation, but the surround channels do get a look in from time to time. Of particular note are the sequences in which the phone booth travels through the time vortex, during which the crackle of energy can be heard from behind, but other than that the rears are used most to provide the soundtrack with a little more presence. There's very little in the way of low frequency effects, but the subwoofer occasionally springs to life during some of the music numbers. In short, this is pretty much what I was expecting from a low-budget, twenty-five-year-old movie.
This is one area where the UK release would appear to have an advantage over the US one, as it includes quite a bit more in the way of bonus material. Having said that, a fair bit of it pertains to the sequel, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, and few of the extras are on any real worth or interest. I'm guessing these extras were culled from the DVD releases of both films (they're presented in standard-definition). Here's what you can expect to find:
- The Original Bill's Ted: In Conversation with Ed & Chris: Bill & Ted's creators site down to discuss the genesis of the characters and the film.
- Score! An Interview with Guitarist Steve Vai': The guitarist provides an overview of his involvement with the film.
- Air Guitar Tutorial with Bjorn Turoque & the Rockness Monster: At first I thought this was a spoof piece, but a quick Internet search reveals that these people really do compete in competitions...
- The Hysterical Personages of Bill & Ted: Short biographies of some of the historical characters featured in the film and its sequel.
- One Sweet and Sour Chinese Adventure to-Go: The first episode of the Bill & Ted animated TV show.
- The Linguistic Stylings of Bill & Ted: This short piece translates some of the duo's more popular sayings, such as 'bogus', 'heinous' and 'bodacious'.
- Radio Spots: Pretty self-explanatory this one.
- Stills Gallery: As is this.
- From Scribble to Script: Almost twelve minutes of barely-legible handwritten notes and early script revisions.
I hadn't seen the film in years, but watching it again brought back memories of that first sight unseen rental and the subsequent Bill & Ted craze that swept my school. Truth be told I'm a bigger fan of the more polished sequel, but I still have a lot of love for the original film. As for the Blu-ray? Well, it's not quite 'excellent', but thankfully it's far from 'bogus'. It offers up a surprisingly good video transfer coupled with a respectable audio track, and while the extras are simply recycled from old DVD releases they're reasonably plentiful if not particularly 'triumphant'.
Note: The images below are taken from the Blu-ray release and resized for the page. Full-resolution captures are available by clicking individual images, but due to .jpg compression they are not necessarily representative of the quality of the transfer.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Prosecutors in Nevada say they're awaiting the return of a self-described pimp who is jailed in California after a Las Vegas Strip shooting and fiery crash that killed three people.
An aide to Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said Thursday the governors of the two states signed paperwork to extradite 27-year-old Ammar Harris by May 10.
Court officials in Los Angeles say a status hearing on Harris' extradition was postponed from Friday to April 24.
Harris has been jailed in Los Angeles since his Feb. 28 arrest following an intense manhunt.
He's accused of firing fatal shots from a Range Rover SUV at the driver of a Maserati sports car that then slammed into a taxi, killing the cab driver and a tourist from Washington state.
Five other people were injured.

In Spyborgs, players take on the role of a diverse team of five bionic superspies in a fight to save the world from a group of dastardly villains.
The first title developed by Bionic Games, a newly-formed development team comprised of former Insomniac Games and High Impact developers known for their work on hugely popular franchises Ratchet and Clank and Resistance: Fall of Man, Spyborgs is a unique action-adventure game set in a stylish world that resembles a Saturday morning cartoon. Engaging players in team-based challenges designed to utilize 2-player co-op play, Spyborgs takes the theme of "team" to a whole new level of fun. In Single-player mode the "team" theme continues as players jump from one member of the superspies' team to the next, rapidly tackling different challenges designed around each character's unique abilities. Fast, addictive gameplay, unique controls offered by the Wii Remote, and a storyline that refuses to take itself too seriously, Spyborgs will provide players with a dynamic and fresh gaming experience like no other.
Spyborgs' tongue-in-cheek action and compelling interactive cartoon theme keeps players engaged from the first episode to the last with one of the most fun and entertaining games to be developed for the Wii.
A cybernetically-enhanced group of super heroes is set-up to die by a former team member they trusted. When players take control of the weapon-enhanced cyborgs in their pursuit of the traitor, they will come together in 2-player co-op to face over 35 stages of mind-blowing challenges packed with epic boss battles and swarms of enemies that only a team of two can defeat!
In Spyborgs, players select two of the three Spyborg characters and use the motion-based Wii-remote to shoot, slash and pummel their way through hordes of mechanized enemies. With an in-depth 2-player co-op system, players will be able to strategically jump back and forth from one member of the team to the other, rapidly tackling different challenges with their unique abilities.
Players can also experience the frenetic fun with a friend in co-op, which opens up access to stylized co-op finishing moves. This advanced co-op system utilizing the Wii-remote motion control delivers an unparalled, highly interactive gameplay experience perfectly suited for Wii action fans. Spyborgs provides players with a dynamic and fresh approach to beat-em-up, brawler gameplay.
- Stunning Graphics: Pushing the graphics capabilities of the Wii, Spyborgs will offer a variety of vibrant environments and detailed character models alongside action-packed gameplay.
- Extreme Co-Op: Designed around the 2-player co-op experience whether playing alone or with friends, single players can jump seamlessly between characters at any time to take advantage of their unique weapons and skills while friends can tag-team it to create crazy combos and finisher moves for the ultimate brawl.
- Brawler-style Gameplay: Action-packed, intuitive gameplay for all skill-levels.
- Robust combo system to master: Multiple character specific combos allow players to chain light and heavy attacks to increase their Combo/Power meters and unleash devastating "Finisher" moves and "Co-Op Finisher" moves.
- Upgradeable Attack System: Power-up by collecting "crimson spark" currency from defeated enemies and destructible environments to purchase upgrades.
- Instant Character Swap: Users can instantly switch between two characters mid-combat to utilize each character's strengths.
- Cinematic Boss Battles: Epic, action-packed and absolutely thrilling battles featuring full-screen, dynamic and wickedly challenging bosses.
- Robust Achievement system: Similar to Xbox 360 and PSN, players are rewarded with an Achievement Title signifying their accomplishment. Taking it one step further, these Achievements also unlock bonus videos, concept art and new challenges in the game.

Motorist taken off the road for 25 months
A MOTORIST has been taken off the road for 25 months after being convicted of drug-driving and drink-driving.
Sean West, 28, had a fight with his partner and drove to Brisbane where he took methylamphetamines.
He was driving home when he was intercepted during a traffic operation near Gatton and recorded a positive drug test on September 12.
West was again arrested on Thursday night after committing a raft of traffic offences at Millmerran.
He had ridden an unregistered and uninsured motorcycle in Margaret St after drinking numerous beers. West blew 0.156%.
He was also unlicensed and not wearing a helmet.
West appeared in the Toowoomba Magistrates Court yesterday and pleaded guilty to seven charges.
Defence solicitor Shane MacDonald said West was preparing to sell the motorbike and was testing it.
Magistrate Damian Carroll noted it was West's second high-range drink-driving charge and said he would be jailed if caught again in the near future.
"You're in a very sticky situation," Mr Carroll said.
West was also fined $1850.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – Superstorm Sandy led to the biggest monthly drop in casino revenue in the 34-year history of legalized gambling in Atlantic City, N.J.
Closures due to the storm sent Atlantic City's casino revenue plunging nearly 28 percent in November.
The casinos closed on Oct. 28, the day before the storm hit, and began reopening Nov. 2. It wasn't until Nov. 5 that all 12 casinos were back in operation. That led to a 19.9 percent decline in casino revenues in October, the previous largest monthly drop ever.
The casinos took in $176.6 million in November, a decline of 27.9 percent from November 2011, when they were open a full month.
Tropical Storm Irene forced the casinos to close for three days in August 2011, causing a 19.8 percent revenue plunge.

Slash Talks 'Apocalyptic Love' on Canadian Radio
Ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash attended this year's 'Slacker Canadian Music Week' in Toronto -- but as he readies for Sunday night's sold-out gig at the Phoenix Concert Theatre, he took time to sit down for an interview.
During a conversation with radio personality John Derringer at Toronto rock station Q107, Slash talked about the recording of his new album, 'Apocalyptic Love,' and the tour that's to follow in May.
After Derringer referred to Slash's bandmate, vocalist Myles Kennedy, as "probably the best known unknown singer in the world," Slash agreed, saying, "That's exactly how I became aware of him -- he was this really-talked about guy that everyone seemed to know but myself."
Slash explained that 'Apocalyptic Love' was recorded live and "it's a real performance album, it's got all the mistakes, the talking in between the takes, it's a cool record. We did it all in the moment." When asked about how the album will translate to the stage, Slash was happy to add, "It's tailor-made for that. I'm really excited because we're about to hit the road soon."
All the songs on the disc were co-written by Slash and Kennedy, and they've also filmed the entire making of the album. Plus, with all the attention surrounding Guns N' Roses upcoming enshrinement in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame (even if the old line-up won't play together), this release seems especially timely.

Keep the heat. Insulating your existing hot water tank will keep heat loss to a minimum. I added fiberglass insulation blankets to both storage tanks.
Consider your source. The warmer your source of domestic cold water, the hotter your output from a solar hot water system. Our home is fed by a 98-foot well with 50°F water. Originally, our well's pressure tank had no insulation. As a result, the cold-water temperatures would drop significantly in winter. When replacing our leaking pressure tank, I wrapped the new tank with 6-inch-thick fiberglass insulation, added several inches of solid foam-board insulation on top, and enclosed the tank in a draft-free wooden box. Now, in the winter, I get 45ºF water feeding the house and the solar storage tank, and no longer have to heat the pressure tank with a 120-volt heat lamp to keep it from freezing.
As is true of most RE systems, the financial rewards for solar-powered hot water trickle in slowly over the system's lifetime—which can range from 20 to 30 years. All said and done, this project, including shed construction and mechanical installation, took three months of spare evening and weekend hours, and cost almost $7,000.
Since the system only came online in September 2007, it's too early to accurately predict our monthly savings, but I can say that it has required little backup so far. By staying attuned to the weather and running the big laundry loads on sunny days, we minimize the number of kilowatt-hours we consume from the grid to heat our water.
Compared to our monthly electric bills for the past six years, the first three months of operation with the new system show that our average usage has dropped by 547 KWH per month. At our current rates ($0.07 per KWH), that reduction amounts to a savings of $38.29 per month.
After accounting for the $2,000 federal income tax credit and lower monthly bills, I suspect that we'll likely have recouped the expense of installing the solar hot water system in eleven years—although it could be longer, depending on future repairs. That payback time is more than reasonable when you take into account that electricity rates have gone up 19% in the last two years and will continue to climb, and considering that I liberally sized my SHW system. Plus, the new system nixed my plan to spend at least $1,000 on a new front-loading clothes washer, which would have used less hot water.
But the ultimate reward is a good sun-heated bath for my aching joints after a long day of work—and knowing that we are doing our small part to reduce demand on non-renewable resources.
Bob Inouye lives with his wife Carol in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains in Washington. The couple happily shares 180 forested acres with horses, mule deer, elk, turkeys, beaver, salmon, and steelhead. Solar hot air collectors are next on their RE drawing board.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — With a cease-fire announced in the Gaza crisis, the U.N. Security Council suspended a formal open debate that had been scheduled for Wednesday afternoon.
The council has been silent since Israel launched air raids on Hamas in Gaza in response to months of Hamas rocket fire into Israel.
Arab nations had called for an open debate if a cease-fire was not arranged.
Instead, the council held closed consultations, then heard a report by videoconference from U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who since Monday has been talking with Middle East leaders.
Ban welcomed the cease-fire and said it was urgent that humanitarian aid be delivered to Gaza.
Britain's U.N. Mission said in a tweet that the council is working out a statement welcoming the cease-fire and commenting on how the process can be consolidated.

Eagles master the art of the big play in 20-7 win over Glenn
CULVER — If "The Art of the Big Play" was a class taught at Culver Academies, all the football players would get an "A".
After all, the Eagles raised big plays to an art form Friday during their 20-7 victory over John Glenn.
A fake punt in the third quarter turned into a 59-yard touchdown run for CMA's Joel Tinney. Matt Neufeldt intercepted two Glenn passes. Aramonti Phillips spun away from tacklers and raced 76 yards for a touchdown as time expired in the third quarter.
"We were able to make the big plays when we needed to, on both sides of the ball," said Eagle coach Andy Dorrel, who watched his team improve to 4-2 on the season.
"When our backs are against the wall, our guys step up."
Glenn's football team ran the ball an amazing 70 times Friday night — that's 70 — but somehow managed to score only seven points.
Though the Falcons rushed for 273 yards on CMA's field, they just couldn't seem to stick the ball into the end zone.
"We just fell apart in the red zone," said an exasperated Glenn coach Justin Bogunia.
The Falcons (3-3) made it down to Culver's 14-yard line in the first quarter. Didn't score. They drove to the 22-yard line in the second. Didn't score. They had it on the 11-yard line in the third.
Didn't score.
Derek Hiler gained 111 yards on 29 carries, which is a fine night for any running back. Zach Combes collected 95 of his own on 22 carries. And Adam Dodson picked up 70 more yards for Glenn.
But for Glenn, it was all for naught.
"The mistakes, the turnovers, they just killed us," said Bogunia. "Take those away and this could have been a pretty good game."
By the way, CMA also gained 273 yards on the ground. But the Eagles needed only 24 carries to do it.
Phillips — a senior speedster from Oakland, Calif. — gained 128 of those yards on 13 carries.
If there was one player who crushed the Falcon hopes, however, it was Neufeldt, a junior free safety.
He intercepted a halfback-option pass from Glenn's Zach Combes that ended the Falcons' first scoring opportunity.
Then, he also intercepted Falcon quarterback Kyle Liedtky deep in the red zone during the fourth.
"I'm supposed to go where the ball is and make plays," said Neufeldt. "We run a lot of man coverage and when I see the ball coming, I go for it."
"He's a ball hawk," said Dorrel of Neufeldt. "He gets to the right place at the right time."
CMA took control with 4:26 remaining in the second quarter, when Tinney intercepted a pass from Liedtky at the Glenn 37-yard line. Immediately after switching over to offense, the Eagles handed the ball back to Tinney, who raced 37 yards around left end for a score.
Tinney got back into the act in the third quarter, executing a fake punt perfectly and breaking at least three tackles on a 59-yard scoring jaunt. And to end the third quarter, Aramonti Phillips bulled up the middle to make it 20-0 as time expired.
Glenn finally scored with 6:29 remaining in the fourth quarter when Hiler reached paydirt from five yards out.
Too little, too late.
"We'll just keep plugging away," said Bogunia following the game. "When we get guys in position to make plays, they just have to execute."

Benjamin Banneker was a primarily self-taught scientist, mathematician, astronomer, surveyor, farmer and almanac author. In 1792, he sent a copy of his first almanac to Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson along with this letter. In it, Banneker acknowledges that Jefferson agrees that "we are all of the same family, and stand in the same relation to Him", but Banneker reminds him that Americans once fought for freedom from England and for the unalienable rights of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" and yet some, including Jefferson, are guilty of owning slaves. Banneker recommends to Jefferson and all other whites to "wean yourselves from those narrow prejudices which you have imbibed with respect to them, and as Job proposed to his friends, 'put your soul in their souls instead."

8 Papa John's suddenly close in Sacramento area
SACRAMENTO, CA - Eight Papa John's take-out and delivery pizzerias in the Sacramento area closed Friday to the surprise of employees and customers.
The eight stores are on Folsom Boulevard, Sacramento; Fulton Avenue, Sacramento; Elverta Road, Sacramento; Foothills Boulevard, Roseville; Sunset Boulevard, Rocklin; Blue Ravine Road, Folsom; Peabody Road, Vacaville and N. Texas Street, Fairfield.
A note on the door of one of the shuttered stores identified the franchisee as APNA Investments. Papa John's corporate headquarters in Louisville listed Kishan Patel as the contact.
The note blamed "circumstances beyond our control" for the shutdown.
One employee in Folsom found out the franchisee was in trouble when the bank refused to honor his paycheck.
The note said APNA Investments anticipates filing for bankruptcy and advised employees to seek unemployment compensation from the Employment Development Department.
Papa John's corporate spokesman Darryl Carr in Louisville said three Sacramento-area Papa John's locations would remain open.
One of the remaining locations, at 2580 Arena Boulevard in Natomas, is listed as the headquarters of APNA Investments with Chetan Patel the agent for service.
There was no immediate explanation as to why the Natomas store wasn't among those shut down.
Carr said the eight stores had been struggling, but that corporate officials were blindsided when the franchisee notified them Friday morning that he was shutting down the same day.
"We certainly could have helped them look at some other options," he said.
Papa John's would seek a new franchisee to take over some or all of the shuttered stores, Carr said.
John Schnatter founded Papa John's in 1984. According to the company Website, Papa John's either owns or franchises 4,200 restaurants in all 50 states and 35 countries.

Not sure if people have given up on this group but I thought I'd reappear.
I'm redoing C25K for the 3rd time in my career. This time I broke my foot in three places in July, so I was totally immobile for six weeks and mostly immobile for another six, leaving my woefully out of shape. It's frustrating that week one is such a challenge when I was running 5 miles at a time just a few short months ago, but c'est la vie.
How's everyone doing heading into cooler weather?
Call me Ray (not Ishmael)
Petco Run/Walk/Wag 5k
Not bad. I'm still here to cheer folks on. I did 5 cold mi this morning in the pre-dawn dark. Well cold for Austin, TX, 44F, gusts to 30, wind chill 35-37F. Supposed to be colder tomorrow morning! Freeze warnings for cooler areas tonight.
Keep on Keeping on!
bob e v 2014 goals: keep on running! Is there anything more than that?
Complete the last 3 races in the Austin Distance Challenge, Rogue 30k, 3M Half, Austin Full
Break the 1000 mi barrier!
History: blessed heart attack 3/15/2008; c25k july 2008 first 5k 10/26/2008 on 62nd birthday.
Bob, I like the goal in your signature. Keep on keeping on is right! Thanks for responding. Guess everyone else has already begun hibernation.

I live in Irkutsk, center of East Siberia, 60 km from lake Baikal, deepest in the world. Irkutsk has a lot of wooden houses, once beautiful, now quickly degrading, being destroyed by time. I decided to drive around the city and nearest villages and take photos of most unusual houses, before they become history. I am not a professional photographer, but I wanted to do it anyway. I hope you will enjoy the houses as much as I did!
To highlight warm texture of wood, I decided to use HDR (High dynamic range) technique. To create HDR photo, you need camera with auto exposure bracketing (AEB), such as my Canon 400D. Put camera on a tripod, open camera menu, set AEB to maximum (-2..+2 for Canon 400D). To avoid even small shaking, set Drive mode to Self-timer / Remote control and then take a photo with remote control. Camera will take 3 photos with different exposures (normal, under, over).
Next step is to generate HDR image from these 3 photos. I used program called Photomatix Pro, but Adobe Photoshop CS and later has this feature too (File - Automate - Merge to HDR).
Often, HDR images look too strong, unrealistic. To avoid that, I loaded normally-exposed photo to Photoshop (layer 1), then added HDR image (layer 2), and set layer 2 opacity to 50-60%.
The final step was to add vintage effect to photos. I learned it from wonderful Veerle blog. I also wrote a tutorial how to automate this effect.

Death Of 19-Year-Old Winona Student Investigated
WINONA, (AP) - Police say foul play is not suspected in the death of a Winona State University student who was discovered in a dorm room over the weekend.
But Winona police Sgt. Chris Nelson says the investigation into 19-year-old Mitchell Grierson's death is ongoing.
Authorities were called to campus early Sunday after Grierson was discovered by a friend. Nelson says he was dead when authorities arrived.
Nelson says there were no obvious signs of trauma, and it will be some time before toxicology results are completed. He says police are looking at everything, including natural causes, or whether alcohol or controlled substances were factors.
Police are also talking with those who saw Grierson last.
Grierson is from Dassel. He was a freshman who enrolled last fall.

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Inbee Park felt right at home in North Texas. The top-ranked woman in the world left with another trophy.
Park played the final 35 holes of the inaugural North Texas LPGA Shootout without a bogey, closing with a 4-under 67 Sunday to finish a stroke ahead of playing partner Carlota Ciganda. It was the third victory this season for the 24-year-old South Korean, and her fifth win her last 18 starts.
"It wasn't something like I was making three, four birdies to catch her," Park said. 'All day, I was just trying to be really patient, and if the chances come, then I win. If not, maybe next chance."
Ciganda shot a 70, losing the opportunity for her first LPGA victory with problems at Nos. 14 and 15, where Park took the lead with pars.
After Ciganda drove into the right rough with a tree between her and the 14th green, her shot from about 130 yards clipped a branch and came up short. She had a chance to save par but her 6-foot putt was short, and Park's par got her within a stroke of the lead.
After stepping away from her approach at No. 15, to a green surrounded by water on three sides, Ciganda hit a shot that went to the right and then rolled down into the water. Ciganda had to go back to a drop zone, where the 22-year-old Spaniard had a decent pitch before her first putt rolled over the left edge of the green for a double bogey 6.
Park made another par and led for good.
"I'm very happy with my round and with my week. ... I had two bad holes on the back nine," Ciganda said.
Between playing and practicing, Park visited Koreatown in Dallas only a few miles from the Las Colinas Country Club. She was also followed on the course by many young Koreans.
"There (were) a lot of Korean girls cheering hard for me too. So, yeah, it felt like a little bit home. So that's good," said Park, who went to Koreatown three or four times. "I just go there to eat and go to bookstore and buy some books and just to look around. They have a bakery, and get a yogurt. All that stuff."
With the $195,000 check for first place, Inbee exceeded $6 million in career earnings and will be No. 1 for the third week in a row. It was her sixth career LPGA victory, along with four more wins in Japan.
Fifth-ranked Suzann Pettersen from Norway, the winner in Hawaii last week, had a closing 66 to get to 10 under and finish third. Hee Young Park (64) and So Yeon Ryu (68) tied for fourth at 275 on the 6,439-yard course with plenty of sloping fairways and raised greens.
Caroline Masson, the LPGA Tour rookie from Germany who led after each of the first two rounds and started Sunday tied for second with Park, shot 75 and finished eight strokes back.
Stacy Lewis, a Texas native and the No. 2 player in the world, had a closing 66 with all six of her birdies and her only bogey coming between Nos. 7-17. She tied for seventh for her sixth top-10 finish this season.
At the end of her round, Lewis signed the back brace of a 6-year-old Dallas girl who was diagnosed with scoliosis at 18 months old. Lewis wore a similar brace 18 hours a day for seven years after being diagnosed with scoliosis at age 11 and missed her first collegiate season after a spinal fusion.
Ciganda played last season on the Ladies European Tour, where she was the top rookie and the top money winner — the first player since Laura Davies in 1985 to accomplish that feat. She won twice in Europe last year and now has her best LPGA finish.
"It's always nice to win, but I think when you finish second or even worse, I think you learn more from it," Ciganda said. "So I think it's a great experience."
At the 403-yard eighth hole, Park made a birdie before Ciganda followed with one of her own and responded with a slight fist pump when her ball dropped into the cup. They both had pars at No. 9, where Park was closer to the hole even though she missed the green to the left, and they traded birdies again at the par-5 10th.
"Carlota was playing great golf. And I was really ready to actually congratulate her if she played that solid on the back nine," Park said.
Ciganda is returning to Europe but will be back on the LPGA Tour in June.
"I was happy and playing good and having fun and enjoying the day," she said. "And then I think, let me see, the hole it bounced to the right, but I had a bogey there and then hit it to the water on 15."

I havent seen this site mentioned on AO before.
Its a pretty interesting site with all types of stats regarding computer crime/security.
Also featured are reports (from various sources including CERT and Symantec), tools (like a password strength meter, a port/protocol searcher) and a news section (amoungst other things).
Over all a nice site IMO.

Devyn Marble scored 22 points and Melsahn Basabe blocked a potential game-tying layup with 21 seconds left to help Iowa hold off Penn State 74-72 on Thursday night.
Iowa (16-9, 5-7 Big Ten) led by at least 10 twice in the game but couldn't put away the league's last-place team until late.
The Nittany Lions (8-16, 0-12) went 0 for 2 from the field in the last 30 seconds with a chance to tie or take the lead, capped by Basabe's block of Jermaine Marshall's drive to the paint.
Marble was fouled on the ensuing inbounds and hit two foul shots for a four-point lead with 20.9 seconds left.
Penn State had one last chance, down three with 1.5 seconds left and Marshall on the foul line. Marshall hit both shots, but the Nittany Lions whiffed on a chance for a game-tying putback if Marshall had missed at the line.
Penn State wasted an inspiring effort from lead guard D.J. Newbill, who finished with 26 points on 11-of-20 shooting and eight rebounds. Marshall added 10 assists and finished with 14 points, but went just 3 of 13 from the field.
The Hawkeyes broke a four-game conference road losing streak and won their first game in Happy Valley since 2006.
They nearly let it slip away late.
But Marble and Masabe were able to help Iowa hold on down the frantic stretch. Basebe finished with 11 points, six rebounds and four blocks.
Sasa Borovnjak's three-point play drew the Nittany Lions within 70-67 with 1:55 left before a foul shot by Marshall cut the lead to two.
With the game on the line, the Hawkeyes put the ball in the hands of Marble, who scored 14 after halftime. The junior let the shot clock wind down to 10 on a late possession but lost the ball on the drive to the basket.
Still, Penn State couldn't convert in transition after Newbill missed a 3 with 35 seconds left.
Penn State clawed back from two double-digit deficits, the last one down the stretch with the help of scrappy play by two unheralded walk-ons seeing more time of late. Kevin Montminy hit a 3 before 6-foot-9 forward Alan Wisniewski had a block and helped forced Iowa into a shot-clock violation in a 7-0 run that helped get the Nittany Lions within 62-59 with 6:29 left.
The Nittany Lions went 8 of 17 from 3-point territory, a season-high in conference play, and controlled the boards 40-29.
Borovnjak added 14 points for Penn State, which was forced to look for other options much of the second half with Newbill facing an array of double teams and defensive switches.
The lower-division Big Ten teams traded scoring spurts in a chippy and entertaining first half that ended with Aaron White hitting a 3 from the corner before the halftime buzzer to give the Hawkeyes a 38-34 lead.
Led by Newbill's inspired play, the Nittany Lions went on a 16-0 run midway through the first half to take a 23-17 lead before the Hawkeyes regrouped after a timeout and responded with a 9-0 run. Freshman Mike Gesell had 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting in the half, surpassing his season average (8.8 points) in his first 17 minutes on the floor.
Gesell finished with 13 on the night.

Hardware characteristics
My model came with an Intel 2.8 GHz P4 and 512 MB of RAM standard. It features a 40 GB drive, a 15" SXGA+ TFT with 1400x1050 resolution and an ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 with 64MB VRAM (the Xorg r200 3D driver works hardware-accelerated for OpenGL games and apps). It also has an integrated 3-in-1 card reader supporting SD/MMC/MS cards, an optical DVD/CDRW Combo Drive, built-in 10/100 networking (natsemi driver included in all default kernels), 56k internal modem (third party slmodem driver required), a PCMCIA/CardBus socket for Type II, 4 USB 2.0 ports, a mini Firewire port and more (check web page). The laptop weighs 7 lb.
Software Compatibility
The laptop comes pre-loaded with Red Hat/Fedora Linux but on demand LinuxCertified can also install Debian or Linspire Laptop Edition, and there is an optional dual-boot install with Windows XP. My laptop came with Fedora Core 2 and later LinuxCertified sent me an upgraded laptop with Fedora Core 3 Test-3 on it. FC is working well on this laptop, however, in order to achieve this, LinuxCertified is using specially-compiled kernels, additional drivers and other patches. Among the patches/additions included are SoftwareSuspend, some acpi scripts, XBindKeys and Synaptics (touchpad driver for X11) and some multimedia packages.
I also took the liberty of installing other distros on the laptop, just to see how it would behave in a non-patched environment. Unfortunately, Ubuntu wouldn't work (Ubuntu-specific bug); the kernel loads just fine, but when it's time to get into the text-mode installer, all you get is a black screen. There's a chance that Debian-Sarge might have the same problem, as it uses the same installer as Ubuntu (however, LinuxCertified supports Debian, so they will certainly make sure that this is fixed by the time Sarge is ready).
Arch Linux 0.7pre+, on the other hand, worked perfectly and installed fine. Its recent XOrg selected the right resolution selected automatically, and 3D worked too with the games I tried: lthough the commercial demo of "Dark-Horizons: Lore" was not running at full speed, while simpler GL games, like GLTron, Neverball etc, ran fast enough. Running in the native 1400x1050 resolution with XOrg's r200 3D drivers (not ATi drivers), GLXGears did up to 1594 fps at 24bit color in X11, and 2212 fps while in 16bit. Sound and onboard networking also worked fine with no extra drivers needed (and slmodem and synaptics packages are part of /extra of Arch's tree anyway, so installing them was a piece of cake).
General Usage
The laptop is really a desktop replacement rather than an ultra-portable laptop. Its battery life with a stock kernel is about 1.5 hours. The laptop will automatically shut down if the battery goes below 10%, sometimes without a warning (which is actually a good thing, because users should never leave batteries drain below ~20%, as this damages all batteries in general).
The keyboard has an "ok" feel, but I had to get used to it a bit, as I was mostly used to my 12" Powerbook's soft keyboard touch. The biggest hurdle was to teach myself to press the right keys for Enter and Backspace, as my hands were used to find them at the right edge of the keyboard layout, while the LC2430 has the Home/End/PgUp/PgDown buttons instead on the rightmost part of the keyboard. A few days later and I was finding myself used to the new layout without a problem.
The laptop boots pretty fast and the hard drive performance is adequate, especially after adding some hdparm modifications in Arch. The screen is beautiful; its quality and viewing angle is better than my 12" Powerbook's (12" which has the same LCD model as the iBook family, which is not the same as the much-better 15/17" Powerbook LCD model).

Couple win million dollar home
BETTY and Tony of Roma are the lucky winners of the latest Mater Prize Home draw, winning a home in Mount Coolum valued at $1,081,656, as well as a book buyer prize of $35,000 in gold bullion.
When told she was the new owner of a million dollar home, Betty's first response was "you're joking".
She could not wait to tell her husband when he returned home.
Later that afternoon, her husband had the same reaction and called Mater Lotteries marketing manager Jodie Springer to confirm it was in fact not a practical joke played on them by a friend.
Betty is a long-time supporter of Mater Prize Home and has been purchasing tickets since before her 50 year old son was born; she remembers visiting the homes on trips to Brisbane.
Betty was blown away when she received the life changing phone call.
"Thank you very much, I can't believe it. I never thought we would win," she said.
Betty was still in shock when she was given the keys to their brand new home.
"I support charities who work with children as my brother has a special needs child. It never crossed my mind that we would win one day."
The couple are excited about winning the Mater Prize Home as it is so close to the beach and they will be able to walk their 14-year-old dog, Herbie.
The couple will have their friends and family up to visit, including their electrician of 25 years who was working in their shed at the time of the phone call.
Proceeds from Mater Prize Home Lotteries help to purchase specialist equipment and fund vital research to improve health care for babies and children at Mater.
Mater Foundation executive director Nigel Harris said he encouraged people to support the Mater Prize Home Lottery by buying a ticket or becoming a regular buyer by joining the VIP program.
"Since the Mater Prize Home Lottery started we have had hundreds of lucky winners like Betty and Tony who also hope to make a difference. Thanks to everyone who buys a lottery ticket which supports patient care and medical research to ensure our babies and children have the best possible chance of a healthy future," said Nigel.

I'm on Lesson VI in Pharr's book and it is explaining the second declension. My question is do nouns only belong to a single gender and declension (suppose first declension feminine
for a word like [face=SPIonic]boulh/[/face]) while adjectives must have a male, female, and neuter declension? And that the adjectives gender is "chosen" out of the set of available declensions, like: [face=SPIonic]kalo/j, kalh/, kalo/n[/face]--which are second declension male, first declension feminine, and second declension neuter, respectively? And different adjectives can have different declensions for the male, female, and neuter gender?
Is the description of what belongs to where set up so that if it is a noun, I will see the genitive case ending and the gender in the vocabulary, but if it is an adjective I will see the nominative male, female, and neuter endings, and I have to see which endings match which declension in any case?

The new United Sorghum Checkoff Program (USCP) Board of Directors has approved a contract with the National Sorghum Producers (NSP) as the management entity for the USCP.
In accordance with USDA guidelines, USCP has initiated a contractual agreement with NSP for management of its day-to-day activities. Both organizations will be directed by Tim Lust, CEO, but will otherwise maintain separate staffs.
Bill Greving, Chair of the USCP Board of Directors, said the Board is confident NSP will provide sound management direction for the new organization.
"We, as a Board, believe that it is in the best interests of sorghum growers for the National Sorghum Producers to manage the day-to-day operations of the USCP," Greving said. "NSP brings to the table qualities that the Board deems important to this new program. NSP has multiplied years of experience with this industry and its producers, knowledge of the industry's strengths and weaknesses, and a desire to improve the sorghum industry."
"USCP will benefit from NSP's background with sorghum research and experience in promoting the crop, industry, and their products. While the two organizations maintain separate goals, their working relationship will benefit producers."
The two organizations will office in the same building in Lubbock, Texas.
Toby Bostwick, Chairman of the NSP Board of Directors, said the contract between USCP and NSP will serve sorghum growers nationwide.
"NSP has been an advocate of the Checkoff Program since its beginning and we look forward to working for the Board to continue to better the sorghum industry. We are excited about the opportunity to serve producers in this new role, and we believe that we can make great strides in improving our industry."
The United Sorghum Checkoff Program serves the sorghum industry through research, promotion and information. To learn more about USCP, visit www.sorghumcheckoff.com.

John Lennon : Award-winning biographer Elizabeth Partridge dives into Lennon's life from the night he was born in 1940 during a World War II air raid on Liverpool, deftly taking us through his turbulent childhood and his rebellious rock'n'roll teens to his celebrated life writing, recording, and performing music with the Beatles. She sheds light on the years after the Beatles, with Yoko Ono, as he struggled to make sense of his own artistic life - one that had turned from youthful angst to suffocating fame in almost a split second. Partridge chronicles the emotional highs and paralyzing lows Lennon transformed into brilliant, evocative songs. With striking black-and-white photographs spanning his entire life, John Lennon: All I Want Is the Truth is the unforgettable story of one of rock's biggest legends.
