COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The speed limit is increasing on parts of U.S. and state routes throughout Ohio this weekend.
The changes take effect Sunday on more than 600 miles of road in the state's second round of speed-limit increases this year. The speed limits increase to 70 mph on rural freeways, 60 mph on rural divided highways and 65 mph on rural expressways that don't have traffic control signals.
A spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Transportation says drivers should respect the current speed limits until new signs are posted. The department says the changes require 1,100 new or replacement highway signs, which are expected to be installed by Friday.
Three months ago, Ohio raised the speed limit to 70 mph on some rural interstate highways.

Aerial view of the city of Segovia
The passage of history has left its mark on Segovia, a beautiful city that now has UNESCO World Heritage status. Situated just 90 kilometres from Madrid, it boasts a magnificent cultural heritage including the imposing Roman Aqueduct from the 1st century AD, a colossal universal symbol for this location in the region of Castile and León. Shall we begin our tour?
A stroll through the streets of Segovia is a pleasant and very interesting way of gaining an insight into the history of Spain. Over the centuries, various civilisations (Romans, Arabs, Jews and Christians) have left an artistic heritage that is difficult to match elsewhere. This will become obvious as you stroll through its old town, whose streets still boast the medieval structure and civic and religious buildings of various architectural styles. Many of them were built during the Middle Ages, the heyday of this city in the region of Castile and León. One example from this period is the Cathedral, the last Gothic building constructed in Spain; another is the Alcázar, the impressive fortress with its stunning views of the city. And then there is the unique Casa de los Picos House, with a façade that leaves no-one unmoved.
Towers, Romanesque churches, squares, steps, mansions and Renaissance palaces, synagogues, porticoes, convents, gardens… Segovia boasts a whole host of monuments and an almost endless list of places of interest. To make sure you don't miss anything, call in at the tourist information centre, where the staff will be pleased to help you draw up a tour of the city. You will see one monument that predominates over everything else: the spectacular Roman Aqueduct, an engineering achievement dating back almost 2,000 years and whose colossal appearance is still intact today. The best view of it can be obtaiend from the popular Plaza Azoguejo square: the huge blocks of granite stand 29 metres tall, seeming to dwarf everything in the vicinity.
Be sure not to miss one of Segovia's other attractions: its cuisine. Restaurants and bars offer delicacies such as the broad-bean dish known as judiones,the local punch called ponche segoviano and the province's most famous dish of all, roast suckling pig. Enjoy this destination that attracts thousands of visitors every year.

Today's Meditation
[The Lord] lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
-Psalm 40:2 (NIV)
I am an inmate in a maximumsecurity prison. I live in the Restrictive Housing Unit, often and aptly referred to as "The Hole." Isolated from the general population, it is a lonely and despairing place, void of any signs of comfort or compassion. I am imprisoned by its seemingly impenetrable walls.
At one time, however, I was every bit as imprisoned even though no walls surrounded me. Sin and its accompanying entanglements had plunged me deep into a pit of spiritual darkness. But like the psalmist I cried out to God and found that the walls of that pit were not impenetrable. God lifted me up and out of it.
Even in "the hole" I see Bibles and Christian literature, catch glimpses of inmates praying, and hear prisoners calling out to speak with the chaplain.
No matter how deep in the mud and mire of sin we may find ourselves, no matter how isolated, helpless, and hopeless we might feel, God can hear us, lift us up and out, and give us a firm place to stand.
Charles P. Axe
(Pennsylvania, USA)
Prayer: O Lord, no matter the depth of our troubles, may we look to you for help — for deliverance from destruction and despair and all that imprisons us. Thank you, Lord, for being our refuge and salvation. Amen.
Thought for the Day: No pit is deep enough to put us beyond God's reach.

Remember a few years ago when it was all the rage amongst so called "men" to wear hair bands and scrape back their long greasy hair? Yeah me too and it looks like dark times are upon us once again as images of a very bearded Joaquin Phoenix sporting some "man clips" are floating around the information super highway. Like anything in the fashion world prefixed with the word "man" it looks and is a bag of crap, nothing angers me more than idiotic man-hair with the possible exception of men in Ugg Boots. Even men in make up fails to hit quite so high on the richter scale.
Ditch the generic stripe! Brandish's guide to wearing scarves
Click image to enlarge
When your own boss writes that he wants to burn his stripy scarf it's time to write a definite guide to scarves.
We featured a stripy scarf pick way back in November but we need to go back to basics.
Stripy scarves must die!

Stripe scarves are starting to become so ubiquitous that they're joining Taz socks and Homer Simpson ties in the naffness leagues, not any old stripe scarf though, it's the fine stripe stretchy knit scarf with usually comes in a burgundy melange of colours and has fringing on the ends.
men.style.com 2009 Fashion Forecast
men.style.com have posted their fashion forecast for 2009 and it looks like we will be wearing floral print with holes in our shoes this year. As forecasts go I think it's a little hit and miss, yes plaid is here to stay and mismatching suit jacket/pants seem to be pretty hot right now but I can't see myself in a pair of perforated winkle pickers I'm afraid.
Accessories for Spring
Available as part of the new Jil Sander collection at OkiNi are some very lovely accessories that are the very essence of the pared-down but colourful 60s-themed collection.
Real men wear denim shirts
The latest Buck magazine hit the stands last Friday and amongst its Gallic-themed pages is a great piece on the importance of denim this S/S. Highlighting the same Acne/Lanvin collaboration I've been talking about here recently it seems that there's nothing to stop a full on indigo revolution once the sun finally breaks out.
Harvey Milk: first film-related trend of 2009
Of all the films pending release in early 2009, Harvey Milk – Gus Van Sant's biopic of the gay rights leader/politician – is most likely to have an impact on the fashion front. As we stride towards a boot-legged, tight-hipped summer, the movie might just start to look prescient: suggesting alternatives to the side parting (big hair!) and yet more reasons to grow a moustache.
Shake off the winter: more Spring fashion gazing
If like me you're bored, bored, bored of winter and want Spring right NOW then a bit of fashion forward investigation might just perk you up.
Christmas is over: buy yourself some pyjamas
January looms and you're trying very hard to wear proper clothes again, but really there couldn't be a better time to invest in some lovely pyjamas.
Outfit Pick: NYE Sophisticated Style
As we endure the last week of 2008 and look back upon a year of fashion extremes, we still have the sartorial challenge of New Year's Eve (NYE) ahead of us. While many opt for a loud, proud and (often) garish get-up, I am aiming to attempt a subtle luxury with the help of muted colours but opulent fabrics (velvet, silk, corduroy etc.)…c
More lovely blue things
Isabelle's post about the lovely blue cardigan made me look out for other items to fulfill menswear's current blue moment. Other options to bring out the peacock in you include Acne Jeans' (yes, them again!) rather stunning blue cords, these snazzy blue-soled shoes by Folk, high-gloss patent Commom Projects hi-tops from Poste and this super-cosy down-filled sweater by Patagonia also from Folk.
Musical sartorialists of the year: 2008
I mentioned Vampire Weekend by way of passing in my New York shopping post last week. As we reach the year-end which other musicians have left their styleprint on the rock 'n roll catwalk?
Acne Jeans-Lanvin Collection Launches: a glimpse of Spring 2009
Acne Jeans have just launched a collaborative denim collection with Lanvin. Check out their lovely Flash pop-up lookbook to see an (oh so welcome!) glimpse of Spring 2009.
Kerchiefs: another alternative to bow ties
The other day I posted an alternative to the bow tie .. and here's another. The kerchief worn as necktie adds a jaunty, hipster edge to your shirt collar. There are several ways to knot, consider your personal style and what you're wearing it with. Ideally find something vintage. Silk always looks dashing or use that spotted pocket square you've never had a use for.
Workwear boots: it's Hard Times again ..
Classic workwear boots are one of those trends that have been bubbling under for quite a while now with the potential to become a roaring must-have.
Common performs "Universal Mind Control" on Jimmy Kimmel in a bow tie
Common is also getting of the fashion bandwagon, producing a range of tees with Microsoft for their Softwear range. Whether it will be a little like this is still to be seen but Common is obviously keen to spread his fashion wings as he recently appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel show in a nifty bow tie.
Bored of bow ties? Try some texture
Knitted tie: Topman
Whilst the appetite for formal dressing in menswear shows no sign of slacking, inevitably certain details start to look a bit tired. Thus it is with the bow tie. Whilst some can carry this off with aplomb (as the cover star of last month's debut Buck magazine showed) for others it was never going to be easy. There's something novelty about the bow tie that risks looking too try-hard.
It's all about the tuck
Last winter saw a few brave male fashion pioneers trying out the tucked in boots look. This winter it's all but essential.
But there are some definite rules to make it look effortless. If your pants are too wide you can end up with balloon pants that are more Ali Baba than louche hipster. Too skinny and you end up looking like an '80s skinhead. A classic straight leg jean cut is the best option for median bagginess. There should also be element of insouciance: a bit of errant hem helps here, as does leaving the top few lace-holes undone for that Artful Dodger touch.
Love the Look: Bill Hailey and his Comets

I'm a little in awe of this picture of Bill Hailey and his Comets from 1957, the energy and movement make it such a great shot.
Ricardo Tisci gives the ghillie brogue an S&M touch for Givenchy
Click image to enlarge
On Jak et Jil they're agog over a pair of Givenchy ghillie brogues with added buckles, lacing and straps. Ghillie brogues are worn by bagpipers, members of marching bands and are an essential part of Highland dress; I've always loved the contrast between the feminine lacing and the masculine brogue. I like what Richardo Tisci has done with the classic shoe, and with a careful bit of crafting you could easily recreate the look.

MARANA, Ariz. — Graeme McDowell rarely felt as hopeless in match play as he did Wednesday at Dove Mountain.
Overpowered and outplayed for much of the first round, he was 3 down with three holes to play as he watched the majestic flight of Gary Woodland's tee shot cover the flag on the 16th hole. McDowell figured it was a matter of time before he climbed into a courtesy car to be driven back to the clubhouse.
PHOTO GALLERY: The best shots from the Accenture Match Play
BLOG REPLAY: News and results from the first round
''The Cadillacs were circling,'' he said. They must have looked like buzzards.
In an opening round of comebacks in the Match Play Championship, none was more stunning than McDowell surviving to see another day of this most unpredictable event.
Woodland's shot took a hard bounce and landed between two corporate suites. Bogey. With a wedge in hand, Woodland pulled it on the wrong side of the 17th green, and McDowell capitalized by making a 12-foot birdie. Woodland blasted out of the left bunker, over the 18th green and into the right bunker to lose a third straight hole.
McDowell completed his improbable rally with a 6-foot birdie on the 19th hole to win.
''I'm sure he's extremely disappointed right now – and I'm extremely elated,'' McDowell said. ''I'm surprised to be sitting here, having won. Yeah, I hit a couple of quality shots down the last couple of holes, but he had mistakes, as well. It's a brutal format.''
It certainly was brutal for the 32 players headed for the airport. Such is the nature of this World Golf Championship, as cut-throat as it comes.
''It feels like a Sunday afternoon on Wednesday,'' McDowell said, realizing that Thursday won't be much different.
McDowell was among eight players who trailed with six holes remaining and somehow survived.
Brandt Snedeker had to make two tough par saves just to stay alive on the 18th and 19th holes of his match against David Lynn of England. He won with an 8-foot birdie on the next hole. It was the only time all day he had the lead.
Jason Dufner was 3 down with five holes remaining when Scott Stallings made too many mistakes, Dufner made one clutch birdie, and the PGA champion advanced in 19 holes with a simple par.
Six matches went the distance. Five matches went overtime. The last one was Ernie Els, vexed by this format so many times that some years he didn't bother showing up. He was 2 down with three to play and outlasted Stephen Gallacher in 19 holes.
''I feel for him,'' Els said, perhaps because he has been there himself.
After a wild day, there was a small degree of normalcy on Dove Mountain. Only three of the top 10 seeds were eliminated –
Zach Johnson (3), Dustin Johnson (6) and Steve Stricker (9), who wasn't even sure he would play until his brother had liver transplant surgery last weekend.
The better seed – it's really just a number – won 23 of the 32 matches.
''Seeds don't matter. Who you play doesn't matter,'' said Jordan Spieth, sounding wiser than his 20 years after a tough 2-up victory over Pablo Larrazabal of Spain.
Henrik Stenson, awarded the top seed because Tiger Woods and Masters champion Adam Scott chose not to play, trailed Kiradech Aphibarnrat of Thailand with five holes to play. The big Thai struggled with his putter, however, missing a 4-footer for par on the 14th to lose the hole, and an 8-footer for birdie on the 15th that would have given him the lead. Stenson made a 20-foot birdie putt on the 16th, and won the match when Aphibarnrat failed to match his birdie on the 17th by missing from 5 feet.
''I'm still in shock,'' Stenson said. ''It was a tough match.''
Second-seeded Justin Rose held off Scott Piercy, and No. 4 seed Rory McIlroy had little trouble against Boo Weekley to advance to the round of 32 on Thursday.
Zach Johnson, the No. 3 seed, went out in the opening round for the fourth straight year, this time to Richard Sterne of South Africa, 5 and 4. Dustin Johnson now has lost in the first round five times in six appearances. He never led in a 4-and-3 loss to Peter Hanson.
The longest day belonged to Sergio Garcia, who missed a 6-foot putt on the 18th hole for the win over Marc Leishman of Australia. They went 22 holes before Garcia made a 6-foot birdie putt to advance.
In other matches:
– Harris English made his Match Play Championship debut with a 5-and-3 win over Lee Westwood.
– Billy Horschel made six birdies in 13 holes to beat Jamie Donaldson of Wales, 6 and 5, in the shortest match of the day.
– Rickie Fowler, coming off three straight missed cuts, caught Ian Poulter on a bad day and sent the Ryder Cup star packing with a 2-and-1 victory. ''It feels like a big win after those missed cuts,'' Fowler said. ''It was nice to be the underdog. I had nothing to lose.''
– Bubba Watson was giving holes away early before winning three straight holes on the back nine in a 2-and-1 win over Mikko Ilonen of Finland.
Still, no match epitomized the wild nature of this format than McDowell's win over Woodland.
They live down the street from each other at Lake Nona. They practiced together last week. They flew out to Arizona together. And they had to play each other in the first round on a course where Woodland figured to have a big advantage with his length. McDowell played a practice round with Brooks Koepka, the first alternate, to get used to being outdriven by some 50 yards.
His worst fears were realized, especially standing on the 16th tee. He saw his agent on the phone, hopeful he could find him a good flight back to Florida.
''I thought it was over,'' McDowell said. ''You're not coming back from 3 down against a guy that's playing as well as him. Yeah, I'm still going to try to hit my shots. But it required a mistake from him to give me half a sniff, even.''

Cohen 2. ESM Collection
Ron Guth: The 1805 Small 5 Stems Half Cent is a very scarce to rare variety made up of two underlying die varieties: Cohen 2 and Cohen 3, both of which share the same obverse but slightly different reverses.
The nomenclature used for 1805 Half Cents can be confusing. The Small 5 is indeed small but the Large 5 is actually a normal-sized 5. It is only "large" relative to the Small 5. Perhaps the easiest way to tell them apart is by comparing the distance of the 5 relative to the bust. On the Small 5, the 5 is well away from the bust; on the "Large" 5, the tip of the 5 is close to the bust.
No 1805 Small 5, Stems Half Cents are known above Extremely Fine. Most examples have problems of one sort or another: porous planchets, scratches, dings, marks, etc. Nice, problem-free examples are among the scarcest of all Half Cent varieties.

Ok, so C may be slightly outdated by C++. But sometimes it can be useful to know the basics behind it for older codes etc.
I find C simpler than C++, though this may be different for other people. If you don't really care about C, or think that C++ is all that you really need to know, then don't read on.
First bit - the compiler
First, you need to get a decent C compiler. I recommend the Borland 5.5 Compiler, which is available free from www.borland.com. As a text editor, I usually use MS-DOS EDIT, or notepad.
This tutorial assumes that you have set up the compiler and know how to compile code. If you have got the borland one, follow the instructions in the readme to set it up.
Part 1 - The main() function
All C is based around functions. The one that is always run on startup is the main function. Here is the first outline of the C program.
void main()
A step-by-step breakdown of the code:
void - this shows that the program will not 'return' a value after finishing. If this were anything different, a value would be sent back to the OS when the program finished
main() - this shows the function. The brackets are there to contain any 'arguments' - anything other data that is sent to the program on starting. More on these later.
{} - the curly brackets. These show where the function starts and ends. Any code between these brackets is run by this function.
2 - The first code
OK, now you know the very basics of C. Only problem is, if you compile and run this program, nothing happens. You need to add something to it. This is done by adding new functions into the main function. These are functions that are already specified by the compiler. The main function is one that you are specifying yourself.
Here is code for a program that actually does something:
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
printf("Hello and Goodbye");
New code breakdown:
#include <stdio.h> - this tells the compiler to include code from the file stdio.h. This file contains definitions of the standard i/o (input/output) functions of the C language.
printf("Hello and Goodbye"); - this is the printf function - one that prints text for the program. The text in the speech marks, and inside the brackets, is the text that gets printed - the argument of the printf function. This length of text is called a string. The semi-colon at the end tells the compiler that this line of code is finished - an error occurs if it is left out.
If you now compile and run the program, it will print "Hello and Goodbye" on the screen (without the speech marks), and then end. This is the most basic function of C.
3 - An Intoduction to Variables
Variables are the 'storage containers' of C - they hold data for the program. The first type of variable is the integer. The integer stores a single whole number, from -128 to 127. It is stored on the computer's memory as one byte - eight ones or zeros.
Here is some code that uses an integer variable:
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
int x;
printf("The value of x is %i.",x);
New code breakdown:
int x; - this code tells the program that there is a new variable being declared. It will be an int, or integer variable, and its name is "x". Again, there is a semi-colon to show the end of the line of code.
x=5; - this tells the program to set the value of x to be 5. Whenever x is referred to in the code, the value 5 will be used.
printf("The value of x is %i.",x); - the new parts of this code are the "%i" and the ",x" inside the brackets. The "%" warns the compiler that the next letter is not to be printed directly, but that it represents a variable. In this case, the "i" shows that an integer variable will go here. The "," after the string shows that there is a new argument to the function - the integer x. The value of x will be printed instead of "%i".
If you compile and run this program, you should see the text "The value of x is 5." Program success!
For more on C, check out the later tutorials, which I will post soon.

What does a scientist do to help visualise a spacecraft's journey? Build a model of course. A model of Europe's Rosetta comet chaser constructed out of LEGO® blocks started out in this small way and has grown into a project to build a high-fidelity Rosetta Lander Education kit, supported by the German Aerospace Center, DLR, the European Space Agency, ESA, and the LEGO Group.
Rosetta, launched in March 2004, is currently in its sixth year of its 10-year journey to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. This journey involves four planetary swingbys and two asteroid flybys. After it arrives at the comet and orbits and surveys its surface, Rosetta will release the lander, called Philae, onto the comet's icy surface in November 2014.
It was visible in the expression of the faces of students and professors that this was a rather unconventional first in the history of the ancient University of Rome. Engineering students of the University and arts students from the European Institute of Design gathered yesterday to test the prototype of the Rosetta Lander Education Kit. This exercise familiarised them with the European mission to the comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko as they were building specific functionality features of the lander using LEGO® MINDSTORMS®, while also working in the theme of cometary science from an artistic angle.
"Chasing comets allows us to look back into the history of our Solar System," said Detlef Koschny during the presentation of the Education Kit. "Comets and asteroids represent the leftovers from which the planets of our Solar System formed. Understanding their composition will teach about how our own Earth came into being and the ingredients that allowed the formation of Life," he added. Koschny works as a space scientist for ESA in the Netherlands and has developed the very first model of Philae using LEGO® MINDSTORMS®, together with his son Julius.
So far comets have only been investigated from the distance. To fully understand a comet's composition it is essential to touch down on its surface. Only a real close-up can reveal the elements a comet is made of.
Recreating the lander's activities using LEGO MINDSTORMS blocks has not been an easy task. The lander has ice screws on its legs that drill into the surface using the energy of the touch down. It also has a harpoon that holds the lander on the surface and on top there is a small engine that provides some thrust to keep the lander in position while the screws and the harpoon are finishing their job fixating the lander.
Some of these features are reproduced on the model using LEGO MINDSTORMS components, which allow moving parts to be controlled by a simple home computer. As for the students, it has given them a chance to see how space engineers solve problems and to try to come to their own solutions using the kit.
Stefan Ulamec, Head of the Rosetta Lander Project at DLR said, "It has been fascinating to watch students from various disciplines work together to understand the Rosetta mission and to create a working model of Philae. I look forward to the kit being available for use in schools across Europe, hopefully soon."
Philae was developed and built by an international consortium led by the German Aerospace Center DLR. DLR's Microgravity User Support Center (MUSC) operates the Lander from the Cologne control centre.
The feedback provided by the engineering students on the Prototype Education Kit - a pilot project- will be used by the joint development team of ESA, the German Aerospace Center DLR, Europlanet, Lightcurve Films and the LEGO Group to finalise the Education Kit and adapt it to the needs of European curricula. Interested teachers and students are invited to contact:

The bill to close the Montana Developmental Center (MDC) in Boulder, SB 254 (Caferro), was just revived.
Last week the Senate Public Health Committee voted AGAINST Senate Bill 254, the bill to close MDC.
But today, the Senate voted YES on a "blast" motion to revive SB 254 and move it to the Senate floor for debate and voting. That will happen tomorrow (March 21).
MDC is a critical part of the continuum of services for people with intellectual disabilities, mental illness, and severe behavior issues. They are there because they need the services at MDC. Many present a danger to themselves and others when they are in the community.
Many of MDC's residents literally have nowhere else to go. No other facility in Montana has the capability to meet their special needs.
ACTION ALERT: Please contact all state senators today. Ask them to vote NO on SB 254 on second reading. You can leave a phone message for five senators at a time at 444-4800. Or you can email them one at a time from the legislative email system.

Microsoft greases collaboration on cloud
Sync this
Microsoft had released the first version of the .NET code that'll underpin collaboration services in the company's planned cloud platform.
The company has released Microsoft Sync Framework 1.0, first unveiled in December last year. The Sync Framework is designed to let you add roaming, synchronization, and offline access to applications, devices and services using .NET.
Microsoft said Sync Framework 1.0 works with databases, NTFS/FAT file systems, feeds for Simple Sharing Extensions - now called FeedSync - devices, and web services.
Sync Framework supports any data and any protocol over any network, the company said. "The Microsoft Sync Framework provides a platform for taking web services and databases offline. In addition, it provides optimized P2P sync of any type of file including contacts, music, videos, images and settings," according to Microsoft.
Version 1.0 works with Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.
Sync Framework 1.0 follows last month's release of code updating Microsoft's synchronization for Windows-based mobile devices. Microsoft released its first service pack for Microsoft Synchronization Services for ADO.NET, to synchronize data from different sources, and to keep data locally so Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 6.0 machines can work offline. ®

Once upon a time, on the North Shore of Long Island, not far from New York, there was a quaint house.With lots of woods and gardens to get lost in. On these grounds lived a small girl. And life was pleasant there and very, very simple. But, then one day, the girl grew up and went beyond the walls of the grounds and found the world.

Are you ready?
This question needs to be asked to everyone.
Upon learning that the Honorable Bobby K. True of Bedford intends to retire from the practice of law, I wanted to express my thoughts about a man who has had an extraordinary career.
Christmas 2014 has come and gone, leaving us with memories of the season and the events of the past year. And for the 56th year the Bethlehem Living Nativity was presented as a reminder of the real meaning of Christmas.
Anyone who has sent or received a Christmas/holiday card that was routed through the Bethlehem Post Office this year most likely noticed something different compared to previous years.
Since 1947 the iconic image of the three Wiseman following the Christmas star has adorned any card that came through the Bethlehem Post Office. Local folks and even those from around the world send their cards just to have this special stamp appear on their cards.
This year however, anyone wanting this historic stamp will be sorely disappointed.
I wanted to thank all the Henry Countians who donated Christmas Cards (old and new) to Henry County's Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary. With your help we reached our goal of 1,000 cards. The cards were distributed to the Veterans' Hospitals in Louisville and Lexington, as well as the Providence and Twin Oaks homes in Henry County.
Next year with your help, we hope to include residents at additional veterans' facilities. Now is the time to start saving cards for next year's project.
Student seeks Ky. assistance
Dear People of the Great State of Kentucky,
Greetings! My name is Joaquin and I am a 5th grade student at Salida Elementary School in Salida, California.
Editor's note:
The following submission was written in response to a letter to the editor from Jim Guthrie that appeared in the Sept. 24 edition of the newspaper. On the deficit question, a Google search can find sources that attribute different numbers to different presidents.
For example, an article on about.com, http://useconomy.about.com/od/usdebtanddeficit/p/US-Debt-by-President.htm, says that President Barack Obama added $6.1 trillion whereas President George W. Bush added $5.8 trillion.
Cold Hard Facts
Diabetes an epidemic
I have followed much of the political talk and the needs for Henry County because I am a community-minded person and desire that we elect the best for all positions.
One thing that has not been mentioned is that we need a healthy community, which produces a healthier population. Our rate of chronic disease in Henry County is far above the national level.
The Henry County Fair Board, on behalf of the New Castle Lions Club (a501+c(3) non profit organization), would like to fill the position of Henry County Fair Pageant Director.
This is a volunteer position that would coordinate activities with the Henry County Fair Pageant Committee.
The position will have responsibility for recruiting contestants, obtaining donations and/or sponsors, and providing all supervision for activities relating to the promotion and production for all Henry County Fair Pageants.

Vyconic, basically designer Andrew Fitzgerald, specialises in breathing new life into old tech such as making clocks out of of a vintage record player or an old school PlayStation. His most ambitious project to date is this radiogram which has morphed from being a record player into coffee table that's also kitted out with speakers for hooking up to your smartphone/MP3 player.
It is very striking but at £2,000 doesn't come cheap. If you like the idea it sounds like Andrew is up for commissions. You can find him here.

Universal Adherance to the Convention
Adherence to the Chemical Weapons Convention demonstrates a state's commitment to disarmament and international co-operation, and helps to reinforce its position in the mainstream of international politics. It builds confidence and transparency in security-related policies at regional and international levels. By embracing international norms of behaviour, the States Parties create a conducive atmosphere for bilateral and multilateral co-operation and interaction in the field of disarmament and security.
OPCW is the fastest growing international disarmament organisation in history. The United Nations has called upon all States to join the CWC and to rid the world of the threat chemical weapons pose to international security.

Sigh. I really wish this line would start putting out crappy figures, because then I could pass on a few of them and not expend so much effort/$$$ hunting them down. Although most of these characters are not "A-listers", it's still an awesome wave. And the figures are all really well done. I am amazed at how varied the line-up is. But I wish they would finish some teams before starting new ones. We're already at wave 14, and most toy lines don't seem to last much longer then this. It would be quite sad to have the line end before finishing up some of the super-teams.
Looks like wave 14 is the next Walmart wave.

Quote Sheet
Chicago Fire 1 - 0 Vancouver Whitecaps FC
Toyota Park - July 14, 2012
Frank Klopas - Chicago Fire Head Coach
Comments on the match...
"Lot of credit to the players. Fantastic win. Great to rebound like this after the setback we had against LA. I thought we played an excellent first half. Very smart in possession. Good in our decision making. Scored a very nice goal, Pavel [Pardo] had a fantastic free kick. I felt that we had a couple other opportunities to put the game away in the first half. We started the second half the same way. You get a red card, and it's amazing how it changes the game. The guys worked very hard in the end. Credit to the whole team to come away with the three points. Every game is important so it's a huge win for the team."
On the play of Arne Friedrich up until the red card...
"I thought the whole team was playing fantastic. We addressed the situation with them and [Darren] Mattocks and his pace and his athletic ability, especially when [Barry] Robson was getting the ball. We didn't give them a lot of space and we stayed compact. Arne [Friedrich] was fantastic and so was the rest of the team. But it's amazing some of the calls that are called against us."
On the team relying on Pavel Pardo and Logan Pause to generate offense...
"For sure, Alex needs a little more time to get his rhythm. They played three defensive midfielders. Vancouver came out and played very defensively, which gave Pavel [Pardo] and Logan [Pause] the ability to find space. Especially with the way they dropped, every time Alex had the ball we were able to combine. When our outside backs pushed forward in the final third, then the forwards could come inside. That was our whole game plan-to beat them with pace and combination play in the final third. They are big on defense and we didn't want to be in the situation where we were hitting long balls."
On the configuration with Alex in the middle and Chris on the outside...
"They interchange. They are dynamic players with pace that are good on the ball. Now they have the freedom to interchange with diagonal runs. They have more freedom when we have two holding guys behind them. Those guys can be creative and express themselves in the final third."
On tonight's win tying the total wins from last season...
"I think it is important that we have had a good start to the season. We have a long way to go and we have to keep going. It's one win. You enjoy this one but we have to look and see how we can get better as a team. Everyone knows what the goal is and that's what we're shooting for. We're not happy with nine wins. It's about game after game after game. You can't get too high or too low after games. We have a difficult match in New York and then we have to keep going. We have to reach our goal in the end."
Arne Friedrich, Chicago Fire defender
On the second yellow card:
"In my eyes, first it was a bad mistake in the midfield. We lost the ball so easy. I thought – I didn't see it again – I thought that me and Austin [Berry] were running, and the striker was in between us, and we were running altogether at the same speed. For me… everybody was a little bit [using] their arms, so for me it was not a yellow card. But it's the referee's decision, and I have to take it."
On his wrapped hand:
"Oh it's ok. I don't need my hands for playing soccer."
On the match:
"We did a great job today. We were playing very organized and the opponent didn't have any chances to score. We had patience and we let the ball flow. In my eyes, it was a good game, we deserved to win, and just for me it's sad that I miss they next game. But this is soccer, and we have enough good players that can play the next game."
On marking Darren Mattocks, and dealing with his physicality and speed:
"We knew before the game… what we had to do. If they face our goal, the midfielders just have to drop. We did a good job. He's very fast, and we knew that before, but in my eyes he didn't have chances today to score. In my eyes, it was not just the back four. That's what I tell the guys all the time. It's not about [only] the back line, it's everybody. And when you see in the midfield, how we got the ball today, it was pretty good. Our shape was good, and this is the key to play successful soccer."
On if he saw video of Mattocks' flying header last week:
"Yeah he can jump high. But we [can] too.
He's an athletic guy, and you just need to know what kind of strengths he has."
Pavel Pardo, Chicago Fire midfielder
On the match:
"I know the last game here, at home against the Galaxy, we didn't play good, and we knew it. Today we had to be better. The last day was an off-day for us, and today we had to bring more on the field. We brought a lot of energy in the first half. It was very, very important to win today, because it's three points, and we're tied [for] third place, so it's good for us to stay tied with the teams that are at the top."
On his free kick:
"You know, in the last game, also it was a great save from the goalkeeper in the same spot. But today it was really good. When I kicked the ball I knew it. You know when sometimes you kick [the ball] very well you know it's going to be on the net. So I was really happy, but more happy for three points. And more happy because today the team brought… a lot of energy. Defensively we were good. Width with the ball, that's the most important."
On if he's feeling any fatigue from logging the most minutes on the Fire so far this season:
"No… today you can see it. I run a lot, and I put a lot of energy [into the match.] And of course sometimes you're tired, but today I felt really good. The last time also, you know it's different, because it was hot, it was warmer. It was a game at 2 o'clock, [whereas] today the game was in the evening. It's different… I feel good."
Alex, Chicago Fire midfielder (via translator)
On his fitness after playing 72 minutes:
"I'm still trying to get to my ideal fitness. I'm trying to get rhythm and soon I want to be at 100%. The minutes are really useful for my fitness."
On getting used to his new teammates:
"I'm getting used to the players around me, especially [Dominic] Oduro. My pass goes directly to him and his speed.
On his mindset with starting versus coming off the bench:
"I'm always ready for both options. It doesn't matter, as long as I play."
Logan Pause, Chicago Fire midfielder
On Alex's contribution to the attack:
"I think he's an incredibly talented player. And you saw, when he got the ball tonight, he made things happen. We still haven't had him very long, so it's gonna take time. But he's a bright star for us, and we're really thrilled to have him."
On the attack's improvement from the Galaxy match:
"I think part of it is tactics. You know, we were really disappointed with our performance last weekend, and we knew that we needed to come out with some more bite, and some more energy. And I think the fans really lifted us and stuck behind us. I think Rolfie is starting to get really into form, and now that we're plugging Alex in, I think he's been a great addition and really added to our creativity."
Sean Johnson, Chicago Fire Goalkeeper
On his point-blank save from Eric Hassli:
"It was a situation where, in the dying minutes of the game… you have to make saves. That's my job. But more importantly, the guys in front of me made my job easier. They were in a good spot, they made it difficult for Hassli to get in a good spot and get something on it. So I was able to see it and react and make the save."
On the importance of keeping a clean sheet, especially with ten men:
"It's important, especially having the 1-0 lead. Most importantly you just want to win games. It's a plus to get shutouts, but the first thing is getting three points… being able to do both, given the fact we had ten men, shows that we have character as a team, and we were able to fight. Those ten guys in front of me battled for 90 minutes and we were able to come away with the result."
Vancouver Whitecaps Head Coach Martin Rennie
Thoughts on the match:
"I think we started the game a little bit slow, we had a little slip there, then they had a free kick, and it was executed very well by Chicago. They started the game brightly, they started the game well but I felt like after maybe twenty minutes we started to come into the game and did well. I thought in the second half we were very strong, we were on top, we were pressing them back. It's just disappointing to not get more from the game tonight. I am really proud of my players, the effort they put into it after four games on the road in really quick succession. It could have been easier for them to throw the towel in after we went down a goal in the first [ten] minutes. Nobody did that. The belief was certainly there, the effort was certainly there. So it's disappointing not to get a little more; I feel like we deserve something out of the game tonight. Sometimes that happens, we have to make sure we take the positives from the determination and the effort we showed throughout the game."
On what he wants to see out of his team in the final twenty minutes:
"We were pinning them back. We put the ball wide, which is what you want to do, and you want to get balls in the box, which is what we did. Obviously we want to see that more, but they defended well with ten men. I think maybe with a little more energy we might have more chances but as I say, coming off the back of all the games we've had, we didn't quite have the energy we would have liked to get that final pass or that final shot. So that part of it was frustrating, I think we did the right things, we did get it in the right areas, we did pin them back and made changes to add more attacking players. So I don't think there's that much more we can do. There's just some nights it just doesn't go in."
On the effects of the recent lineup and roster changes:
"Obviously, getting on the training field always helps to improve that but there's really only two players that have been playing if that makes any difference. Actually to be fair, the Dane [Richards] was fantastic and I thought Barry Robson drove the game on, always wanting the ball. His final pass and his shot will come but his overall play and determination and drive was fantastic for us tonight."
On returning home:
"It'll be nice. It's hard going on the road for that many games. The league's tough and to play so many games in quick succession, two Saturday's in a row we've played a team that didn't play during the week. They have that advantage over you. But that's a part of what happens in MLS. We really want to make sure tonight that we were able to match their intensity and their energy and their drive. Really pleased we did that. I'm a little disappointed that we didn't get something out of it in terms of the scoreline. I'm really proud of the players tonight. It's one of the nights where I questioned after giving up such an early goal, how would we respond, what would our character be like, and we passed that part of it with flying colors. The quality can improve, we know we got that. That's what determination, desire, effort, that was definitely there. Actually I can take a lot more from this game than you think. I'm not despondent about it. I look forward to the next few games at home and getting back in front of the Whitecaps fans. One of the things I said at the start of the season I talked about, I wanted to make sure we were a team fans can be proud of and absolutely we have a group of guys who will work until the very end no matter what the situation."
Vancouver Whitecaps Midfielder Dane Richards
On wanting to make an impact on the field:
"Yes, definitely. I was just waiting for the chance to get on the field and the coach told me at halftime that I would be going into the game."
On the match:
"The players had to increase their intensity more and more but in the second half, we stepped it up definitely and I am looking forward to the next game so we can rebound at home."
Vancouver Whitecaps Forward Darren Mattocks
On what they need to do more of to score more goals:
"I think we needed to get the crosses in a bit earlier but we couldn't find our finishing touch. That's the way it goes sometimes."
On his assessment of the road trip:
"I think we did pretty well. We traveled back and forth [across the country]but now we are home for a couple of games."
On the difference between the first half and second half:
"In the first half we didn't find a rhythm; things were off. Everything wasn't going well in the first half. Second half we had 45 minutes to put everything into the game. It's very unfortunate we didn't get a goal and we lost one."
Vancouver Whitecaps Midfielder Michael Nanchoff
On the match:
"Obviously not the result we wanted. But in a positive night, like Martin said at the end of the game, to fight like that, the whole time, especially on the road and our legs being heavy, that was a good sign, especially at the end of a long road trip.
It's difficult. I'm proud of the team."
On the team's effort to get the equalizer after the red card:
"We definitely picked up the energy, that's for sure. We kept pushing on, we kept getting wide, we kept getting crosses in and we had a couple of really good chances but their keeper made some really good saves."
On his first start:
"It's tough to have a first start on the year and come away with a loss, it's never fun. There's always next time, we have to push for the win."
On returning home:
"I think we are all definitely looking forward to it because we are heading back home, finally. It should be a packed house and we are looking forward to being with our fans again."

Can't Get Enough Netflix? Click Here for a Chance to Win an ENTIRE YEAR FREE!
With the cost of cable going up without major improvements in services, instant streaming services are very popular. As the leader of the industry, Netflix is no exception. It is the go-to streaming service for classic and modern television shows of all genres, and that is great news for action fans. Here are some of the best action shows available on Netflix.
"Star Trek"
This popular science fiction and action series stars a young William Shatner as Captain Kirk, the captain of the Enterprise. The show follows the adventures of the crew as they explore the universe and defend the Federation. Although it only ran for three seasons, the classic show has inspired a number of remakes and films and continues to retain a large fan base. Many of these remakes and films are also available on Netflix, including the popular reboot, "Star Wars: The Next Generation."
"Hercules: The Legendary Journeys"
This popular action show ran six seasons in the mid-1990s, and all of these seasons are available on Netflix. It follows Hercules, the son of Zeus and strongman, as he protects village people from mythical creatures and other powerful enemies with the help of his sidekick, Iolaus. However, Hercules' personal foe is Hera, his own stepmother. The setting of the show is ancient Greece, and many of the episodes are loosely based on ancient mythology. Although mainly an action-adventure series, the show has many comedic themes.
"Xena: Warrior Princess"
"Xena: Warrior Princess" follows Xena, a female warrior who is intent on making up for her dark past by fighting for the greater good. Her trusty companion, Gabrielle, provides companionship and moral support to Xena during her journeys. The character made her first appearance on "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" as a villain. The character was so popular that her fate was re-written and a spin-off created. The show eventually surpassed "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" in ratings. All six seasons of "Xena: Warrior Princess" are available on Netflix.
"Quantum Leap"
"Quantum Leap" follows Dr. Sam Beckett as he "leaps" into the bodies of people throughout history to change history and prevent catastrophes. Sam Beckett is aided by Al, his sidekick and assistant who can only be seen as a hologram by Sam, and the calculations of Ziggy, a super-computer with artificial intelligence. Each episode encompasses a different story and time period as Sam "leaps" into men, woman and teenagers who lived within his lifetime, with some exceptions. He often interacts with political and popular historical figures during his adventures, which gives this action show historical fiction elements. All seasons of "Quantum Leap" are available for instant watching on Netflix. However, some of the more popular episodes and episodes that feature copyrighted material are only available on disc.
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
Based off of the film of the same name, this action television series is a cult favorite. The show follows the adventures of Buffy, a former high-school cheerleader who has what it takes to defeat vampires. All seven seasons of this show are on Netflix.
"The Walking Dead"
Newer than the other entries on this list, "The Walking Dead" began airing in 2010. This popular show is a serial drama that follows survivors of a zombie apocalypse. The group is led by Sheriff's Deputy Frank Grimes, a man who begins by looking for his family and comes across other survivors who need his help. The survivors work together look for a safe place and protect each other from zombies. Netflix carries the earliest seasons of this show, which is great for those who want to catch up or refresh themselves on this popular series.
"Doctor Who"
This insanely popular television show originates in Britain, but it is famous world-wide. The show follows "The Doctor" as he travels through space and time in his TARDIS, a spaceship that appears in the form of a classic British telephone booth for police. The show originally ran from 1964-1989. The original series is available on Netflix, although not in entirety as some episodes have been lost since originally airing. The series was rebooted in 2005, and many of the newer seasons are also available on Netflix along with "Torchwood", a popular spin-off featuring Captain Jack Harkness.
Lovers of action shows need look no further than Netflix for new shows to watch. These are just a sample of the great action series' that Netflix has to offer on its instant watching service. The shows listed above are great for first-time watchers and those who want to see their favorite action shows all over again.

Adaptec Redefines Price-Performance for Advanced Data Replication, Distribution and Protection Software
Adaptec, Inc. storage systems division, Snap Appliance, today announced the availability of Snap Enterprise Data Replicator (Snap EDR), a high-performance, network-optimized data replication and management software suite that allows customers to easily and cost-effectively move, protect and report on their data throughout a distributed enterprise. Snap EDR is a breakthrough in affordable data mobility and management capabilities for the enterprise, delivering one of the industry's most powerful and full-featured software solutions for optimizing the aggregation, distribution and protection of business-critical information. With this announcement, Adaptec is setting a new price-performance standard for data management software, allowing companies of any size to cost-effectively implement enterprise-wide backup, disaster-recovery and compliance operations.
Snap EDR provides a vital role in an organization's data protection strategy with:
"Adaptec is bringing a significant set of enterprise-class functionality in Snap EDR to the market at a very aggressive price point," said Mark Pollard, vice president of marketing at Adaptec. "Until now, powerful data replication functionality has been a costly undertaking, requiring significant license fees, additional hardware and IT support personnel. Combined with the price-performance benefits of Snap Servers, Snap EDR offers an exciting value proposition for our enterprise customers."
"Adaptec is making a significant move to support its customers' ever-increasing requirements for affordable backup, disaster recovery and data management solutions with its new Snap EDR enterprise-class data replication and management software," said Jon Toigo, CEO, Toigo Partners International. "The fact that Adaptec has made its new software 'platform-independent' means that it can integrate easily into almost any data management strategy. Customers don't need to replace hardware in their existing environment in order to capitalize on the powerful benefits of Snap EDR, which makes it a truly flexible solution worthy of consideration for many organizations."
Additional features include highly secure data replication and transfer. Snap EDR securely replicates data between any supported platforms, while retaining file security attributes, and securing data transfers over wide area networks (WANs) using user-selectable encryption (64-bit or 128-bit). The software provides an additional layer of WAN security through the use of certificate authentication between source and destination agents, a capability unique to Snap EDR.
Pricing and Availability
Snap EDR will be available on October 25, 2004 via the Snap Appliance Web store at www.snapappliance.com, and supports GuardianOS Snap Servers, Windows, Linux and UNIX servers. The Snap EDR software suite also offers additional capabilities including remote office backup and recovery, data asset management and reporting which will be available later this year. Snap EDR pricing starts at $2,699 per server and includes one year of software maintenance support.

(CNN) -- On Leyte Island, one of the hardest hit areas by Typhoon Haiyan, a man is asked by a television crew if he has a message for relatives living abroad.
"I'm just letting you know, Josie is gone. Please forgive me, I couldn't save her, because we all got separated from each other when the strong waves hit," said the man, tears rolling down his face as he spoke to CNN affiliate ABS-CBN about his daughter's death. "We got separated.
"I couldn't even hold on to my child ... Josie is on the corner. Her body has been there three days," he tells the camera.
With spotty communications in the wake of one of the largest storms in history, some survivors are reduced to turning to television cameras to tell far-flung family members the worst of news.
"To the mother of my kids, who's currently living in Virginia, I know that you'll watch this: Justin and Ella are gone," another unidentified man tells ABS-CBN. "They are both dead."
The number of Filipinos living abroad -- either permanently or as contracted workers -- was estimated at 10.5 million in 2011, according to the Commission on Filipinos Overseas. The diaspora has Filipinos working in 217 countries around the world, but most work in the United States (3.4 million), followed by Saudi Arabia (1.6 million) and Canada (about 850,000), according to the commission.
That has left family members abroad in a desperate search for news of loved ones in the storm's path. In the United Arab Emirates, Naicy Yu Bono is gripped with pain and fear after the storm ravaged her hometown of Tacloban. Among the family members missing are her mother and two daughters, 8-year-old Rheinzi and 22-year-old Reanne.
"My last communication with my eldest (daughter) was Friday 1 a.m.," she told CNN's Leone Lakhani. "She sent me a Whatsapp (text message). She said, 'Mummy I'm so scared because the wind is so strong.'"
Bono has been in the UAE -- the fourth largest home of Filipinos expatriates with about 680,000 migrant workers -- for the past six months working to send cash back to her family at home. Now she is at the Philippine embassy preparing to leave the country. "I'm going to find my daughters," she said.
Some relatives abroad have had better luck. From London, iReporter David Armstrong puts out an SOS trying to get in contact with his wife, Ruby, in Ormoc City. Fortunately, he was able to re-establish contact with his wife, but the suffering of his family and other survivors is profound, he said. Four of six homes owned by her family are damaged.
"They have all suffered from upset stomachs as they have had to drink unsuitable water. Their city has had 90% of its buildings damaged, including hospitals, banks and supermarkets," he said. "They are unable to use any ATM to withdraw money to buy any food from the very few street sellers who are selling food. They have had no relief aid whatsoever."
While most of the media coverage has focused on Tacloban -- the largest city hardest hit by the storm -- there are many more towns and cities which have sustained substantial damage, Armstrong notes. He is attempting to travel to Ormoc to get supplies to his family.
He said his wife told him that "they have been told by the electric company that they will be without electricity until January as the typhoon has brought down most of the power lines on the island," he said.
"She also told me there is only one supermarket open in the whole city and it's running out of food. There is only one pharmacy open in the whole city but they have very few medicines left and people have had to queue for hours to get any."
In Tacloban, iReporter Leo Udtohan took his camera along the roads of this city of more than 200,000 people, showing dead bodies wrapped in plastic lying along the street.
"Other dead bodies were washed ashore near the Tacloban fish port," he reports. "In some areas, the dead are being buried in mass graves ... I saw some people bury the dead near the highway."
"There's no clean water, no electricity and very little food," he said. "The communication is still very limited in many areas in southern Leyte, so there is real difficulty if you're asking for some updates on what happened to families or relatives."

Jennifer Aniston's personal message about her debut fragrance!
March 23, 2011 | Celebrity News, Fragrance, Jennifer Aniston | 1 Comment|
Actress Jennifer Aniston has blended her most beloved scent recollections to create her debut fragrance. Favored aromas like night-blooming jasmine, wild violets, and Amazon lily—all redolent of her California upbringing—open the fragrance. Its warm finish of sensual musk, golden amber, and sandalwood is inspired by the smell of wood fires at Jennifer's friends' houses on summer evenings. These wonderfully fragrant ingredients are topped off with the freshness of citrus grove and rose water, creating a unique combination. With a nod to an admired architect, she has bottled the eponymous floral scent in a beautiful, fluid shape to represent the organic form of a cresting wave.

"The Ruins" Talisay, Bacolod This begins as an account of a May 2008 visit to Bacolod and environs but we hope to expand this section as we spend more time in Negros. We have been living in Iloilo City for nearly two years. Our Iloilo stay was supposed to only be for a month and then we were to go on to Bacolod City. We liked Iloilo so well we just stayed, but after this visit to Bacolod we can see that it's an excellent choice for those seeking a mid-size Philippine city. Iloilo City's expansion sprang from the core of an old Spanish settlement. Bacolod is newer and has a more modern plan with some wide roads and a more spacious layout. It also seems more prosperous than Iloilo City, its civic buildings and museums better maintained. It has also planted and maintained trees which grace its streets. I don't know if Bacolod can match Iloilo's medical care or educational facilities, but it's certainly…
