Emil Mitch Michal, 87 - July 30, 2008
Emil "Mitch" Michal, 87, of Gothenburg, formerly of Table Rock, died Friday, July 18, 2008, at Gothenburg.
A memorial service will be held at Wherry Bros. Funeral Home in Pawnee City on Monday, Aug. 4, at 2 p.m.
Inurnment will take place at the Bohemian Cemetery east of Table Rock.
Michal was born on July 23, 1920, to Joseph and Anna Michal at Table Rock. He attended Bunker Hill Elementary School through the eighth grade and graduated from Table Rock High School.
On March 22, 1941, he married Elsie Laun. To this union, two daughters were born.
He and his family had farmed north of Table Rock until 1971 when they sold the farm and moved into town. In 2002, he and his wife moved to Gothenburg.
Michal had worked for the FSA Office, Farmers Union Coop, Binder Bros., Harlan Findlay and the Village of Table Rock as public works director and maintenance person. He also served on the Table Rock School Board of Education, the Bohemian Cemetery Board and as president of the ZCBJ lodge.
He was well known for his gardening skills, as his green thumb kept many people in Table Rock and Gothenburg supplied with fresh vegetables during the growing season, according to family members. He enjoyed his time spent in the garden and continued to cultivate a large garden until a stroke in 2007.
?Michal also enjoyed teasing others and sharing his sayings of the day whether profound or humorous, said family members.
?He was preceded in death by: his wife, Elsie; his parents, Joseph and Anna Michal; a brother, Rudolph.
Survivors include: his daughters—Mary (Gary) Fritch of Gothenburg and Kathy Michal of Hamilton, OH; grandsons—John (Trudy) Fritch of Dike, IA, Bret (Jeanne) Fritch of Omaha, and Mark (Jaime) Fritch of Papillion; granddaughters—Elizabeth (Chuck) Martin of West Chester, OH, and Lori Diehm of Hamilton; eight great-grandchildren.

Originally posted by Erwin Visser on the Windows Blog.
Today at TechEd North America, we're talking more about how Windows 8 is enterprise-ready, by design. As I was getting ready for this conversation, I found myself reflecting on the hundreds of customers my team and I have met with over the past several months. We have talked to companies in just about every industry and every area of the world. They've told us their implementation plans, some already demoed early business apps, and gave us feedback on how these innovations built on Windows 8 will be valuable to their organizations.
Since the last time you've heard from me on Windows 8 for the enterprise, I thought it would be important to share three customer stories on what enterprises are already doing with Windows 8 at TechEd and then here on the blog as well.
One of my favorites is what PCL Construction, the sixth largest contractor in the United States, is doing to ensure its team of 3,700 full-time professional staff has the tools they need to get the job done right.
PCL Construction recognized an opportunity with Windows To Go and how it could enable the work styles of its employees. Working with Windows 8 Release Preview versions of Windows To Go, PCL Construction employees can carry their entire managed corporate desktop and bring it along with them on a small bootable USB drive wherever they go – on the jobsite, from a field office, or from the comfort of their own home computer. They decided on an early implementation of Windows 8 to get feedback from users quickly and in an effort to remove any potential adoption barriers when Windows 8 rolls out to all employees.
As Shane Crawford, manager of infrastructure with PCL Construction, shared with us, "Windows 8 affords PCL Construction many ways to meet the needs of our diverse and mobile workforce from secure access touch-enabled applications that help improve jobsite safety to meeting the needs of executives and field staff working from multiple PC's with Windows To Go."
Another great example of an early customer case is a Windows 8 app developed by national furniture retailer Rooms To Go. This business app for tablets allows the company's sales associates to offer a more intimate and immersive customer service experience without leaving the customers' side.
Russ Rosen, CIO of Rooms To Go, stated, "Windows 8 provides Rooms To Go the ability to develop a custom point of sale application that takes advantage of continuous connectivity, and provides a natural touch interface to allow for a cost-effective experience for our sales associates across 175 stores."
Finally, the Dutch Public Prosecution Service, through their partner Sparked, is planning to outfit their employees with custom line-of-business applications accessing a Microsoft SharePoint backend on Windows 8 tablet. These applications allow prosecution officers to remain effective and productive whether working in an office, courtroom or while mobile.
"Due to the sensitive nature of the information presented to prosecution officers, it's crucial that the data and devices be protected from viruses, malware, theft or compromise of data," said Dr. Edwin C. Mac Gillavry, deputy director, Bureau for Criminal Law Studies, Dutch Public Prosecution Service. "The BitLocker solution with Windows 8 will protect our data, something that would be difficult to realize with other tablet platforms without extra costs."
A few more items I want to touch on: yesterday at TechEd, we announced that the next release for Windows Intune is available here. My colleague Eric Main has a more in-depth description on updates and new features of the PC management and security software from yesterday's keynote at TechEd North America.
While there are a lot of exciting new changes in this latest release, there are a couple that I would specifically like to call out. One is a new feature to better manage and secure your environment using mobile device management, which will be valuable to IT Pros who travel frequently, or have multiple locations to manage. Second, the latest release of Windows Intune includes upgrade rights to the latest version of Windows, which means businesses using Windows Intune will be able to upgrade to Windows 8 Enterprise when it becomes available.
Finally, my colleague Karri Alexion-Tiernan has an update on several Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) products, including: the availability of betas for Microsoft BitLOcker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM) and Microsoft Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM), an upcoming beta for the newest addition to the MDOP family – User Experience Virtualization (UE-V), and a release candidate for the Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset (DaRT) 8.
Have an exciting implementation plan for Windows 8 in your business or have thoughts on the Windows Intune and MDOP announcements? Share your story with us in the comments section and you may be reading about it in a future blog post.
We look forward to traveling to Amsterdam later this month for TechEd Europe and you can look for more updates from my team here on the Windows for your Business site. In the meantime, we encourage you to download Windows 8 Release Preview and test it in the business environment, available at http://preview.windows.com.

Pest Control Cost in Pawleys Island
Identification of the Problem
The extermination of spiders is different from the process for getting rid of cockroaches, ants, or even rodents. Targeting termites is vastly different from eradicating fleas from a home. An exterminator has the expertise necessary to examine your residence and identify the exact nature of the problem. This professional will be able to ascertain the type of pests you have in your home and the best method for removing them.
Treatment at the Source
Pests enter a house at a specific location. If the treatment does not target the source of the infestation, it is likely to continue occurring. A professional has the expertise and equipment necessary to locate the exact source of the infestation. Once found, the exterminator will work to resolve the problem by eliminating the cause. Perhaps something such as plants, soil, pet food, or garbage is attracting the insects or rodents to your home. Expert guidance will help you eliminate these types of attractions.
Avoiding Damage
Infestation can cause significant damage to a structure. Walls, ceilings, foundations, floors, carpets, furniture, and even clothing can be damaged by insects and rodents. Instead of trying to eradicate these pests ineffectively, hire an expert to ensure that damage does not continue.
Less Expense
Purchasing your own chemicals and equipment to fight pests can be expensive, especially if the infiltration is extensive. Many homeowners will spend less money by hiring a professional service to eliminate the problem. On average, most consumers pay between $100 and $250 per year for professional services. By entering into a contract with a professional, you can also ensure that pests will not return for the contract period. If you see more insects or rodents during the contract time, the company will return to perform additional treatments under the contract terms.
More Effective Eradication
The chemicals used by an exterminator will be more effective than those consumers can purchase. Hiring a professional also safeguards the consumer from choosing the wrong chemicals for the problem, as such a mistake can render their efforts useless. Misapplication of chemicals could also create potentially dangerous conditions for people living in a home.
Stop co-habitation with insects or rodents and hire an exterminator to get rid of them quickly and effectively. The price you pay will be worth the convenience of having this service performed for you.
Many people perform their own home pest control simply because they want to save money. Some do it because they feel uncomfortable with a stranger going through their home. Professional pest removal services have many benefits to those who use them. It is actually very important to use a professional pest exterminator instead of trying to manage it yourself.
Bug spray found in many retail and grocery stores are used quite often in many homes. Rarely do they stop to think what that bug spray might be doing to their health and the health of the people living under the same roof. At times it seems they just like watching those annoying little pests squirm and slowly die. However, it is better to leave the handling of chemicals up to the professionals because all that bug spray can get into your system and may cause adverse health effects.
One may argue that when a professional comes around they too spray these chemicals into the environment of the home. But the fact is that professionals have special formulated products to use that are consumer safe. The pest control experts know how to protect themselves from these harsh chemicals and once the application is completed the treatment causes no harm to the people that live in the home. When you spray pest control chemicals yourself, it is easy to get them on your skin or clothing.
Professionals also have been specially trained to know how to find and identify pests. They know where bugs hide and what extermination methods are most effective on different types of bugs and other pests. They can address the problem right at the source. The work of a pest control professional can prove to be much more effective in getting rid of an infestation then when a person tries to treat their own home. When a pest problem appears in your home a professional pest control exterminator may be the only way to get rid of them.
There are more ways to get rid of pests in Pawleys Island other than chemical sprays. There are thousands of products on the market and even more if you consider the ones that are available to professionals only. Only a professional pest removal exterminator has enough information on all of these products to know the best ones for your home. A homeowner may waste hundreds, if not thousands of dollars over the years working with pest control products using trial and error while still not having any success. The whole point of pest extermination is to get rid of the pests and keep them away for good. Those who have infestations that last for years are in dire need of the help of an expert.
For those who lead busy lives the benefits of hiring professional pest control exterminators should be quite obvious. There is no time to waste on messing around with DIY pest extermination methods when you have more important things to get done. Do what is most important in your life and leave the time for pest control in the hands of those who have committed themselves to dealing with the situation.
For some people, choosing an exterminator in Pawleys Island South Carolina can be a difficult process. After all, different companies offer different services, and their performance levels can vary a great deal. In addition, some pest control services will back their work with guarantees while others will not. Here are some tips that can make your decision easier so that you can choose your contractor with confidence.
Qualifications and Licensing
You always want to deal with an exterminator that is fully licensed and qualified to handle your insect issue. Just because a business has nice vehicles and sharply dressed technicians does not guarantee that they'll be able to effectively take care of your problem. In most states, pest control companies are required to train and certify their technicians according to strict requirements. This certification requires not only a thorough knowledge of pests, but also proper methods of control.
Don't hesitate to ask for copies of licenses and certification from the companies you are considering. If you sense any hesitation whatsoever when you ask for this verification, that is an indication you should look elsewhere immediately. In addition, you'll want to make sure they carry liability insurance and find out how long they've been in business. The older the company, the more stable it likely is; established businesses don't get that way unless they've satisfied a great many customers over the years.
Association Membership
You want to consider exterminators who are members of state and national pest management associations. This shows the company has a commitment to continued learning so its personnel stay apprised of the latest technologies and techniques. You not only want to make sure each business you're considering is a member, but also that it is an active member.
There are several voluntary programs offered in the pest management industry that allow exterminators to broaden their base of knowledge. When you see that a company is participating in one of these programs, that is an excellent indication it is willing to go the extra mile to make sure you receive the most effective service possible.
As with any type of contractor, you should ask people you trust to get their recommendations regarding which exterminator you should use. There is a very good chance that someone you know has had pest control done recently, and will be more than happy to share their experiences with you. However, you should also look at online reviews and check the website of your local Better Business Bureau chapter to see what others think of the companies that are on your list.
Choosing a pest control company you can trust doesn't have to be difficult or time consuming. Do a little research, ask a few questions and there's a great chance you'll be satisfied with the service you receive.
Pest Control Near Me…Bed Bug Treatment
Exterminators are experts and seeking, finding, and eradicating any dangerous or annoying pests.
Humane Trap and Release
This method has been gaining popularity by many people and exterminators as it doesn't require the use of dangerous poisons and protects the animal from harm. Most traps used today are human, which means the animal wanders in (usually attracted by an edible treat), the door snaps shut, and the exterminator returns in a few days to collect and release the critter in a suitable area designated by the local government. Exterminators use this method mostly for larger mammals such as squirrels, skunks, raccoons, and opossums.
Poison Bait and Traps
These are used to catch insects as well as small animals like rats and mice. Although there are various types of traps and bait available, the one people are most familiar with are mousetraps. This is a small wooden block with a metal snapping device fixed to it. Bait, commonly peanut butter, is spread on the trap. Once a mouse or rat steps onto it, the metal bar is activated, snapping down and breaking the animal's neck.
Insect poison bait traps are sometimes called roach hotels. These are little plastic discs that are filled with poison that supposedly attract roaches or other insects that die once inside. You can set these up without the aid of an exterminator, but their effectiveness, especially in controlling large problems, is doubtful.
Poison Spray and Fumigation
These are some of the most effective and commonly sought exterminator methods by those suffering from insect problems. Exterminators can treat a variety of insect problems using different poison sprays both indoors and outdoors. Sometimes small mammals can also be targeted by this method.
Fumigation is when the entire house is sealed off (usually with a tent) for a few days and then sprayed extensively. This is the most effective and expensive as it can eliminate adult pests as well as larvae and eggs. Unlike spraying, fumigation will require some extensive preparation such as removing perishables and protecting fragile objects as well as finding alternative accommodation for your family and pets for a few days.
Natural Treatments
Some exterminators use natural treatments and preventative measures to help keep pests at bay. The effectiveness of these methods is debatable and results often take longer than through the more traditional poison and chemical route. Natural preventative measures, such as habitat modification to discourage mice and other critters from breaking into your home are generally successful as well as inexpensive.

By Eric Johnson
CINCINNATI (Reuters) - After all the fundraising, political ads, rallies, meetings and get-out-the vote efforts, a few counties in just one state - Ohio - could have an outsized say in the outcome of Tuesday's presidential election.
At a national level polls show President Barack Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney tied. Under most calculations, Ohio is currently the most critical battleground in the candidates' state-by-state race to capture the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll on Sunday showed Obama leading the former Massachusetts governor 48 percent to 44 percent in Ohio. Other polls show a similar tight race in the Midwestern state of 11.5 million people. Obama won the state by 4.6 percentage points in his defeat of Republican John McCain in 2008.
Here is what election analysts say the campaigns need to do to win longtime swing state Ohio and its 18 electoral college votes.
- The Obama team must maximize turnout in the north, particularly in Cuyahoga County around the industrial and manufacturing Democratic stronghold of Cleveland, an area that is home to roughly 10 percent of the state's population. The northern part of the state is deeply tethered to the auto industry and has a strong presence of organized labor.
- Obama needs to avoid losing badly in Hamilton County, which the Democrat won in 2008 but which typically leans Republican. Hamilton County is in the southwestern corner of the state, adjacent to Kentucky and includes the city of Cincinnati. It has many socially conservative voters - and is surrounded by some of the most Republican-friendly parts of Ohio, including House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner's 8th District. Obama is fighting for a draw there, said a Democrat with ties to the campaign. "But we can't lose by more than 3 to 4 points."
- The Romney campaign needs to maximize turnout in the suburban and rural areas, especially in the conservative southeast and in Hamilton County, and to eat into Obama's margin in the north. Romney likely needs to carry Hamilton County to have a shot at the state overall.
- Traditionally moderate Franklin County in the central part of the state, anchored by Ohio's largest city, Columbus, could prove decisive if both campaigns get their voters out in force. Columbus, the state capital, leans Democratic, although its suburban outskirts lean Republican.
- Also prized are Stark County, which straddles the Democrat-heavy northeast and the conservative southeast and has been on the side of the winner in 10 of the previous dozen presidential elections, and Montgomery County, home to a large Air Force base and the small city of Dayton. Romney has said Obama's planned defense budget cuts would hurt the area.
The battle for Ohio will likely be decided by each campaign's efforts on the ground. An Obama campaign spokeswoman said thousands of volunteers worked on its behalf over the weekend in Ohio; the Romney campaign said roughly 15,000 worked for it on Sunday.
If both campaigns maximize turnout, everything could hinge on the decisions of uncommitted voters, many of whom will be influenced by personal connections.
"Families and then friends influence people more than every other combination of TV ads, the news media and organizational affiliation," Ohio Democratic strategist Greg Haas said. "They are in the same boat."
Alexa Marinos' family, which owns an ailing dry-cleaning business, pushed her into Romney's column even after she had donated cash to Obama, with whom she agrees over support of same-sex marriage.
"I feel more confident in Romney being able to guide us out of this recession," said Marinos, of liberal Cleveland.
Obama canvasser Jack Frase, plying for votes recently in Cincinnati, was able to use Obama's positions on women's issues to convince 44-year-old Janette Gregory, who was previously undecided, to back Obama. (Additional reporting by Kim Palmer in Cleveland; Editing by Frances Kerry and Eric Beech)

Think coffee's just the drug of choice for humans looking to stay alert? Scientists have some eye-opening news for you: Bees get a buzz when they drink nectar laced with a little caffeine, and it supercharges their long-term memory.
In laboratory experiments, honeybees were roughly three times as likely to remember a floral scent a day later if the nectar had a minuscule amount of the stimulant than if it was caffeine free. They were also twice as likely to remember a caffeine-laced scent a full three days later. Pretty impressive for an insect that lives only a few weeks.
The findings, published in Friday's edition of the journal Science, hints that flowers may have been capitalizing on the bitter compound long before humans built the first Keurig machine.
"It's the first evidence that I know of where a plant is actually using a drug to manipulate the behavior of an animal to its own benefit," said study leader Geraldine Wright, a neuroethologist at Newcastle University in England.

Courses in the Classics Program improve students' facility in dealing with a number of disciplinary and interdisciplinary challenges.
Students will:
- master the elements of Greek and Latin grammar;
- read and comprehend Greek and Latin texts in their original languages;
- use their knowledge of Greek and Latin to aid their study in other programs in the liberal arts, understand the historical foundations and interrelations of those studies, and bring them together into shared projects;.
- discern a diverse range of value systems and complex points of view by familiarizing themselves with the idiosyncratic and seminal institutions of the Greeks and the syncretic culture of the Romans;
- examine more closely Greek, Roman, and Early Christian traditions and understand how each tradition shaped the views and actions of the major figures in them; and
- construct a critical and charitable approach to each of those traditions and gain a far-reaching perspective on the ways those cultures developed over time, grew, declined, clashed with each other, and adapted to the world around them.
French classes are structured sequentially to enable students to become increasingly capable listeners, competent speakers, proficient writers, and insightful readers of French.
Expression and Social Interaction:
Students . . .
- master elements of grammar essential to effective communication in French;
- communicate effectively in authentic French, both orally and in writing;

Critical Reflection:
Students . . .
- assess the cultural character of individual, social, and intellectual values;
- appreciate insightfully how French culture has influenced other cultures, particularly that of the United States;
- develop literary interpretations through analysis of language, conventions of genre, the influence of history, and the progress of ideas;
- in their writing, challenge assumptions, anticipate consequences of divergent perspectives, explain different viewpoints on complex issues, evaluate the support available for each, and defend judgments; and
- conduct independent research in French, both in writing and orally, in a senior-year 'capstone' project that is used by faculty in French to assess program success in reaching its objectives.

At GRCC, curriculum is defined as a scope and sequence of learning activities that is arranged in a logical order for a defined audience. The scope responds to the breadth of learning intended and the sequence illustrates the order, with complexity of learning outcomes becoming greater over time. The overarching purpose of curriculum is to describe the intentions of a learning experience. A curriculum is also a planning and communication tool that lets stakeholders (faculty, staff, students and the community) know what is being taught, why and how the intended learning is to inspire and impact the learners.
Faculty are responsible for the development and implementation of the curriculum, in alignment with the GRCC Curriculum Policy, and for assuring its academic substance, currency and relevancy for its internal and external constituencies. Faculty utilize the institutional processes of Program Development, Program Review, Course Development and Course Review & Revision in order to assure the relevance and rigor of the curricular offerings. Through these processes, faculty define the learning outcomes for students for both programs and courses and develop cohesive curricula that incorporates the Institutional Learning Outcomes and aligns Program and Course Outcomes, as appropriate. The curriculum development process includes a plan for the assessment of student learning outcomes at each level. The ILO assessment is embedded in the Program and Course Learning Outcomes assessment.

Agape can be defined as an understanding of the redemptive good will of all men. In relation to maladjustment, Dr. King explains how he never intended to adjust himself to segregation and discrimination. Dr. King expounds on how justice strengthened the Montgomery movement. He further explains how the powerful influence of love is a significant factor in the practice of nonviolence.

Should Worcester police try Mark43?
Mark43 is a new mobile phone application that ties together, in one place, the functions of at least five antiquated police applications, including a mobile app that police can use to get street-level information and a desktop tool that can analyze reams of data.
Mark43 cuts the time it takes to do these police tasks "from five to six hours to 30 to 45 minutes," according to Scott Crouch, the chief executive officer of the company that produced the app, in a July 10 interview.
Founded by three members of Harvard College's class of 2013 � Mr. Crouch, Flo Mayr and Matt Polega � Mark43 was the result of a Harvard engineering class project that was based at Harvard's Innovation Lab during the students' senior year.
The students tagged along with police officers in Springfield and the state police Special Projects Team, and watched how the officers and troopers worked on the street, in their squad cars and back at their desks.
A Mark43 investor, Alex Finkelstein, general partner of Spark Capital, could not cite how Mark43 improved Springfield's crime statistics. However, in a July 12 interview, he made me think of the 2002 movie "Minority Report," in which a pre-crime unit arrested criminals before they committed their misdeeds.
Mr. Finkelstein said Mark43 gave Springfield's police pre-crime unit-like powers. He pointed out that in a March 2013 Boston Globe article, Springfield state police Trooper Stephen Gregorczyk credited Mark43 with giving his colleagues "the ability to stop a shooting before it happens."
The Globe recounted how Trooper Gregorczyk used Mark43 to learn about the locations, law enforcement interactions and personal connections of a furious local drug dealer bent on revenge after he had been robbed. A quick search of the dealer's name in Mark43 gave the trooper "a road map to plot how his team could head off the dealer before something bad happened."
The Springfield Police Department also cut its information processing time. By getting a "90 percent increase in information efficiency," it can spend the saved time collecting more intelligence and performing more social network analysis.
Mr. Crouch and his co-founders saw first-hand the appalling information systems they used. As Mr. Crouch argued, "They have multiple systems built for desktops with 15- to 20-year-old architectures, and they don't work with each other. And what's worse, the vendors don't get police input for their systems designs, and they grossly overcharge the police departments."
Mr. Crouch's team also fit the Mark43 design with the way police actually work.
"We saw that police officers always keep their dominant hand on their weapon. So we had to make a mobile app that a right-handed officer could use with his left hand," said Mr. Crouch.
Mark43 wants to solve a societal problem � and tap a big market opportunity � by delivering a better product at a lower price.
"Our EMTs, firefighters and police are kind, generous people doing important work without the proper tools," he said. "There are 800,000 local and state police, 100,000 federal officers, and millions worldwide. Our competitors are charging between $250,000 to $500,000 upfront for an inferior product, while we offer a very affordable per officer, per month pricing model."
Mr. Finkelstein � who grew up on Martha's Vineyard, was a venture capitalist at Softbank, sold five TV shows to Hollywood and is a Spark co-founder � took about three weeks to decide to invest in Mark43.
Why so fast? According to Mr. Finkelstein, "The founders are young, aggressive and fearless. They care deeply about law enforcement. A friend who is a narcotics officer in the Boston Police Department gave Mark43 fantastic feedback."
Mr. Finkelstein noted, "My friend said that Mark43 slashes officers' 10 hours a week of paperwork, replaces antiquated systems that don't talk to each other, and lets officers capture and access data via mobile � instead of forcing them to use the laptops bolted down to their dashboards."
Mr. Finkelstein sounds confident in Mark43's future. As he explained, "It's a great team and a great product. They really want to change law enforcement. They truly, truly care."
And Mark43 is hiring to meet growing demand. According to Mr. Crouch, "We have software deployed in Massachusetts, California, and more departments across the country are coming onboard in the next few months. There is a ton of inbound interest right now. We have not reached out to a single department yet."

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo (KKCO) President Obama's re-election last week has created a catch 22 for gun store owners. The election has put them in the black for the short term, but officials are worried it could create roadblocks for their industry down the road. The day after the election, Wilcox Auto & Pawn in Grand Junction received 300 applications for guns, and had a line out the door all day. Top Shot Guns and Ammo sold 19,000 rounds the same day. Business is definitely booming, but the gun community constantly has anti-gun legislation in their sights.
"The past few days, it's been hard to keep guns on the shelves," said Daniel Lente, owner of Top Shot Guns and Ammo in Grand Junction. People have been flocking to local gun stores, like Top Shot. "Usually you explain how each one works; people are just rushing in, I don't care what it is, I'll buy it, it's one right after the other," said Lente, as he helped a customer buy a small pink handgun. Lente is trying to keep stocked up on guns and ammo. "The day after the election, I went through 19 cases of 556 ammo," added Lente. Some people are buying their first gun; others already have several at home. "I get a big mix of everybody; some people come in and they've been buying for many years, and some people are coming in who are first time buyers," explained Lente.
Around the corner at Wilcox Auto & Pawn, sales are also through the roof. "They've been excellent," said owner Belinda Wilcox, as she juggled answering phone calls and assisting customers in her very busy store. Wilcox's business is selling roughly 40 guns a day, many of them "tactical" weapons. "Tactical weapons will be anything with a ten round or more clip; so anything that you can get that's a semi-automatic, that has more than a 10 round capability is what they're trying to ban right now," explained Wilcox. Talks of a ban on semi-automatic weapons in Colorado have resurfaced after the Aurora theater massacre in July. Magazines which hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition are already banned in states like California. "They should have at least 1,000 rounds of ammo for their gun, or the gun is pretty much useless; we really push that here, to be able to get the ammo; because that's what they're going to be able to control first, is the amount of ammo that's available," warned Wilcox.
Wilcox is already seeing additional regulations affect her business. "We're seeing an increase in limits of how much ammo we're able to order; so anything that you want right now, and that you're buying; it's very important to be able to stock up on that ammo for your availability; because it's not like you can just go in the store and buy certain calibers," added Wilcox.
We also spoke with Jerry's Outdoor Sports, who also reported a spike in sales. Larger stores like Sportsman's Warehouse report an increase in ammo sales. With the end of hunting season approaching, out of state sportsmen are stocking up before they go home.
Anyone buying a gun is required to go through a background check, and experts recommend that you take a gun safety class.

Gwyneth in Vegas
This is about right.
In her mind, that is. In her mind she's dressing for her audience -- in this case the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas yesterday where she delivered the keynote address, talking about how she's taking Goop global. Fine, but I haven't hated a Gwyneth Paltrow outfit the way I hate this one in a long, long time. Since 2003, in fact, back when dressing like this was fashionable. And again, like she was in Chicago, with that stiff smile and face.
What happened to the privileged saunter. The nonchalant body language? The infamous GP slouch that seemed to have its own tagline -- I'm here, but really, I could be anywhere...
Maybe she's nervous about Vanity Fair. Maybe she was nervous about giving her speech. Maybe she was nervous about how her speech would be received. Here's what she said about GOOP:
"I really want GOOP to feel like one friend talking to another. Goop really came out of my closest friendships. We're offering something that's relevant and real. That's what's made it successful."
There it is: "relevant and real". Those are her brand words, right there. As a business case study, that's what you're judging. Are these the words you'd use to describe GOOP? Relevant and real? Well, it depends on the audience. Who is the GOOP audience? If the GOOP audience is the Gwyneth Paltrow inner circle...sure. But they're aiming for wider, aren't they? The wider you get, "relevant and real" becomes more diluted. This is why they snark on her for recommending $450K worth of spring clothing and advocating a workout and diet schedule and regimen that seems unrealistic for people who can't take 3 hours of their day to dance off the wine in their private studios and grow tomatoes in the garden.
Me, you know me, I'll take my G any way I can get her, though I'd prefer her less "relevant and real" than "elite and exclusive". Still, it's an acquired taste. To many she's an abhorrent taste. At best, she's a polarising taste. Now how you turn that into a business plan?

Color is one of the attributes we're interested in exploring for collection browsing. Bearing in mind that only a fraction of our collection currently has images, here's a first pass.
Objects with images now have up to five representative colors attached to them. The colors have been selected by our robotic eye machines who scour each image in small chunks to create color averages. These have then been harvested and
snapped to the grid of 115 (of a possible 138) different colors — derived from the CSS3 palette and naming conventions — below to make navigation a little easier.
You can also see how objects are grouped using the following alternate color palettes: Crayola® or CSS4. The default color palette is CSS4.

Part 1 - Ms. Fulton shared a spooky Douglas Marland story, and her thoughts on some of the episodes on the As the World Turns Classics DVD including Bob and Kim's 1985 wedding. "These weddings were shot mostly in the studio, and it took forever to film them!"
Part 2 - Ms. Fulton shared some of the ups and downs from her run including the writing regime of Stephen Black and Henry Stern. "I called them Black and Decker," Fulton joked. "Or Frick and Frack."
Part 3 - Ms. Fulton shared her thoughts on the ending for Lisa on As the World Turns. "Leaving Lisa standing alone in the hotel was disgusting," she said. "That was their 'Up yours!' to Lisa."

By Ebong Udoma
STAMFORD, Conn., Jan 4 (Reuters) - A gun show is being held this weekend in Stamford, Connecticut, despite the mayor's plea that the event not be held so soon after last month's massacre at an elementary school in nearby Newtown.
The gun show is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday at the city's Crowne Plaza Hotel, less than 50 miles from the shooting that brought renewed calls for gun control from across the country. The show's promoter is Westchester Collectors Inc., of Mahopac Falls, New York.
On Dec. 14, 2012, gunman Adam Lanza, 20, armed with a semi-automatic assault rifle, killed 20 first graders and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
Lanza's father, Peter Lanza, lives in Stamford. His ex-wife, Nancy, lived in Newtown with their son Adam, who killed her before driving to the school to carry out the other killings.
On Friday, Stamford Mayor Michael Pavia, a Republican, released a statement asking the organizers to reconsider holding the event this weekend.
"In light of the recent tragic events in Newtown, as a community, we are sensitive to the emotions and feelings of all of those who have suffered losses and are still grieving," Pavia said in the statement.
"Holding such an event - at this time, and in such close proximity to the Newtown, seems untimely and insensitive," Pavia said.
A recorded message for callers who dial Westchester Collector's phone number says its East Coast Fine Arms Show will to go on as scheduled in Stamford this weekend.
Since the Newtown shooting, other Connecticut communities have taken gun shows off their calendars. In the nearby city of Danbury, the Danbury Gun and Knife Show also had been scheduled for Jan. 5-6. It has been canceled, according to the website of the promoter, Big Al's Silver Bullet Productions.
In Waterbury, Police Chief Michael Gugliotti imposed a moratorium on gun shows the day after the Newtown killings. He said he's concerned a gun used in a future mass shooting could be traced to a purchase made at a gun show in his city.
Westchester Collectors had planned a firearm and knife show for Waterbury on Jan. 12-13. (Editing by Barbara Goldberg and David Gregorio)

Check Out the Trailer for Brad Pitt's New Film, 'Fury'
The last time we saw Brad Pitt hunt and kill Nazis was in 2009's 'Inglorious Basterds.' He's back at it again in the WWII film 'Fury.' Starring alongside Shia LaBeouf and Logan Lerman, Pitt plays an army sergeant who leads his small crew on a deadly mission deep inside Nazi Germany.
"You think it can't get worse. It can; and it will," Pitt's character says at the beginning of the trailer. "It [the war] will end soon, but before it does, a lot more people have to die."
The film is due to hit theaters this November. Watch the trailer after the jump.

In the wake of the first Gulf War, the summer of 1991 was a period of dramatic changes and challenges, as shown in our post on the attempted coup in the USSR. But the ISA files also contain moments of light relief, such as these press cuttings accompanying a message from the consulate general in New York, telling Yitzhak Shamir's press adviser that the American bodybuilders' magazine "Muscle Training Illustrated' had chosen the diminutive and physically unimpressive prime minister as its Man of the Year.
During the Gulf War Iraq attacked Israel with Scud missiles, which caused serious damage and aroused fears that Israel's ability to deter its enemies would be undermined. Shamir was under great pressure to retaliate, but he knew that military steps against Iraq might lead to the break up of the coalition against Saddam Hussein built by the United States with the moderate Arab states. Shamir's policy of restraint aroused great admiration all over the world.

This admiration was also expressed in the award given to Shamir in August 1991, by Dan Lurie, the Jewish publisher of the magazine, and a champion bodybuilder himself. And even Shamir had his moments as a sportsman, as shown by this photograph from a visit to a sports club in 1988.

Flaw in ISAPI Extension for Windows Media Services Could Cause Code Execution (822343)
Originally posted: June 25, 2003
Who should read this bulletin: System administrators running Microsoft® Windows® 2000
Impact of vulnerability: Allow an attacker to execute code of their choice
Maximum Severity Rating: Important
Recommendation: System administrators should install the patch at the earliest available opportunity.
End User Bulletin: An end user version of this bulletin is available at:
Affected Software:
Microsoft Windows 2000
Not Affected Software Versions:
Windows NT 4.0
Microsoft Windows XP
Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Technical details
Technical description:
Microsoft Windows Media Services is a feature of Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server and is also available in a downloadable version for Windows NT 4.0 Server. Windows Media Services contains support for a method of delivering media content to clients across a network known as multicast streaming. In multicast streaming, the server has no connection to or knowledge of the clients that may be receiving the stream of media content coming from the server. To facilitate logging of client information for the server, Windows 2000 includes a capability specifically designed to enable logging for multicast transmissions.
This logging capability is implemented as an Internet Services Application Programming Interface (ISAPI) extension nsiislog.dll. When Windows Media Services are added through add/remove programs to Windows 2000, nsiislog.dll is installed in the Internet Information Services (IIS) Scripts directory on the server. Once Windows Media Services is installed, nsiislog.dll is automatically loaded and used by IIS.
There is a flaw in the way nsiislog.dll processes incoming client requests. A vulnerability exists because an attacker could send specially formed HTTP request (communications) to the server that could cause IIS to fail or execute code on the user's system.
Windows Media Services is not installed by default on Windows 2000. An attacker attempting to exploit this vulnerability would have to be aware which computers on the network had Windows Media Services installed on it and send a specific request to that server.
Mitigating factors:
Windows Media Services 4.1 is not installed by default on Windows 2000.
Windows Media Services are not available for Windows 2000 Professional.
Severity Rating: Windows 2000 Important
The above assessment is based on the types of systems affected by the vulnerability, their typical deployment patterns, and the effect that exploiting the vulnerability would have on them.
Vulnerability identifier: CAN-2003-0349
Tested Versions:
Microsoft tested Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 to assess whether they are affected by these vulnerabilities. Previous versions are no longer supported, and may or may not be affected by these vulnerabilities.

Demetri Martin is a funny, funny man; Whether he's strumming his guitar, doodling on an oversized sketch pad or telling jokes into a microphone, the 39-year-old comic is a multitalented wordsmith with an uncanny ability to take a one-liner and turn it on its head. After a grueling winter stand-up tour, Martin is back tonight with a brand-new Comedy Central special (his first in 6 years) and a full-length album, Standup Comedian, which drops on October 2nd. I had the chance to catch up with Martin while he is in New York putting the finishing touches on his second book (slow down already!) to talk to him about his ever-increasing workload, his approach to comedy and why Santa Monica gets less work done on average.
Nerdist: You have a new stand-up album, Standup Comedian, coming out on October 2nd and your first stand-up special on Comedy Central in 6 years this weekend. What can you tell us about them?
Demetri Martin: Well, I toured quite a bit to get ready for the special. I did 30 cities around the U.S. and Canada this past winter, then I filmed the special. A few months after filming the special, I went to Minneapolis and recorded the album. It's got some of the same material, some different material. I was sitting on the material I was touring with, ready to put it to bed and record it, but then I did quite a bit of new stuff. It was cool to focus pretty much exclusively on stand-up for that stretch of time. Now, having something to show for it – the DVD and the CD – it's really nice.
N: How do you think your material has evolved over time?
DM: I don't know. I'm pretty consistent inasmuch as my first night doing standup ever, July of '97, I did fine. I wrote jokes and told them, and they were all one-liners. It's changed over the years; I've tried different ways to present the one-liners, whether it's with drawings or playing guitar or putting them in a short story. When I did the last special, I had more of those things than the jokes; I had friends coming out on stage in costume. There was more of a theatrical element to it. I don't know how theatrical I am anyway, but… there you go. I still have drawings to help me out when I'm in the club. Basically, though, it's an hour of one-liners.
N: What is it about one-liners that attracts you as a comedy writer?
DM: I like the game of writing a joke and telling it. You see what's possible and communicate a pretty large idea with just a few words. It's kind of fun to build a longer set when you have so many little elements. I like storytellers and I like a good story; I've done longer shows and one-man shows, but I just really like the game, the puzzle of each joke.
N: Exactly! I'm glad you phrased it like that because my writing partner and I refer to one-liners as "puzzles waiting to be solved," too.
DM: Yeah! There are multiple solutions for each one, but it's cool just to find one of them.
N: I understand you're also finishing up your second book. What can you tell us about that?
DM: It's due next Friday, actually. I'm in New York right now. I dropped off 60 of my drawings yesterday and I have to drop off whatever's left next week. It's comprised entirely of my drawings. They're not cartoon strips; they're captioned line drawings. The book will include some short stories, but it's mainly line drawings. I draw all the time, so I thought it would be cool to put together a collection of some of my favorite ones. So, that comes out in March and it's called Point Your Face At This.
N: Well, I can't wait to point my face justly. Which do you find more challenging? Writing for a live audience or writing a book?
DM: If I could do only one… I don't think I could. I'm too listless. It's nice to be able to do one for a while, then switch it up. I love stand-up, and if I could just do it in my town – come home, have dinner, then go out and do a show – that would be great. But it's the travel that gets you. It's really necessary and really exhausting. I never thought I'd be traveling as much as I do now. But with drawing, I'm hunched over a lightbox. When I'm doodling, I can just carry around a notebook and draw in that, but when I'm preparing something for publication in a book, the limits of my artistic endurance really start to show. I'm not a professional graphic designer. Having a career where I can go back and forth, I feel like I'm living the dream.
N: What's something you know now that you wish you knew when you were starting as a comic? Or what's a piece of advice you'd give to someone beginning down that path?
DM: When I started – this is minor, but over time I think it's becomes more important to me – I used to not write down thoughts unless they were "good ones." Or if I had a good idea, I wouldn't write it down because I thought, "That's such a good idea – I'll probably remember it." I would inevitably forget it, so I always need to write things down. I've learned over time that it's really valuable to write down anything you think could have any value. You develop a kind of library of ideas; you don't know where your career or your creative interests might take you, so just because it was a crappy joke in 1999 doesn't mean it won't be useful later as the genesis of a short story or a character's backstory or any number of things. If I had known a little bit earlier that I shouldn't assume I'll remember stuff so much, I might have a little bit more to pull from now when I'm trying to make things as good as they can be. Don't edit too much, but don't compartmentalize. Just make stuff – that way you'll have more to edit from and you'll have a better chance of being prolific. It's kind of a long, meandering answer, but I think it's mostly true.
N: Apart from the new album, what projects do you have coming up that you can share with us?
DM: The book will come out in March, I'm writing a movie on spec that I'm going to direct, and I did a part in a movie that Lake Bell wrote, directed and starred in. I'm also writing an animated pilot for Fox that I'll be handing in this November.
N: Well, it certainly sounds like you're keeping busy.
DM: It's weird; I am busy, but I don't feel busy. I've been spending a lot of time in Santa Monica, which is different from New York in so many ways that even when I'm this busy, I feel disconnected or something like I'm not doing enough. In New York, there's such a pace – you're fighting to get a cab or to get to the subway before the doors close that you feel a sense of accomplishment just for getting through the day. They're little victories…and also headaches. In Santa Monica a lot of those small inconveniences are gone, so I don't feel as productive as I do in New York. I'm trying to find a way to adjust.
N: One last question – who are some of your favorite working comics today?
DM: Ooh, this is a good question because I watch a lot less comedy than I used to. I don't get out to watch as many rooms. I like Louis C.K. Lots of people like Louis now, but I've always found him to be a pretty great comic. I haven't seen Hannibal [Buress] in a while, but he's really funny. I've been doing shows in Brooklyn with John Oliver and Eugene Mirman, so I've seen a lot of terrific guys there too.
Catch Demetri Martin's new stand-up special tonight (Saturday, September 29th) on Comedy Central at 10pm ET and be sure to snag his latest album, Standup Comedian, when it drops on Tuesday, Oct. 2nd.
