The most important person you've never met!
"You could work here for 20 years and never meet Scott Dejane, but all of us depend on him to get our jobs done every day," says Jim Beidler, director of Information Technology.
"He is a perfect example of a back office employee who toils in anonymity, supporting systems that are absolutely critical to campus operations."
Dejane, systems administrator in IT, was nominated for Staff Employee of the Year by Shawn Ferguson, supervisor in the Data Center, who says that Dejane can be counted on for help practically 24/7. "There has been many a time when I'd call and ask a question at 12 a.m. and he would reply with an answer, and most importantly, a great attitude," says Ferguson. "He's someone who normally wouldn't get acknowledged for the work he does due to the technical nature, but he's responsible for most of the servers loaded with our applications that keep CSCC running."
Dejane was given the January 2012 Staff Employee of the Month Award in a ceremony held Jan. 4 in the Boardroom. He is now the first official staff member in the running for the 2012 Employee of the Year award!

Public FAQs
The information on this web site does not constitute legal advice. The law is constantly changing, and we make no warranty of the accuracy of information on this site or any site to which we link.
Q. How are judges chosen?
A. In Illinois, state judges consist of two types at the trial level. Circuit Judges are elected to their first term by the public and thereafter run for retention on their record every six years. Associate Judges are appointed by the Circuit Judges are appointed by the Circuit Judges and hold their office for four years.
Q. Why should I perform jury duty?
A. Because a democracy depends on its citizens' participation. Doing so will help you understand the justice system better. Soldiers have died or been injured in wars to preserve this right. Lastly, if you have your own case in court for jury trial, you would appreciate the conscientious participation of your neighbors in the jury trial process.
Q. What should I bring to court?
A. Bring whatever your Lawyer tells you to; typically this list includes receipts, cancelled checks, photographs, and contracts.
Q. What should I wear to court?
A. Wear your best clothing to show the judge that you are taking your legal matters seriously.
Q. What kind of fee arrangements are available?
A. These vary depending on what you and your Lawyer agree to; but basically charge by the hour, by a set rate, or on a contingent basis. Hourly fees tend to be for divorce and criminal matters. Set rates are often used for transactions of short duration such as drafting a Will, attending a real estate closing or filing for bankruptcy. Contingent fees are commonly used in cases involving personal injuries or workers compensation. These are different than the first two types because contingent fees are paid to the Lawyer for his or her services only if the client is successful in his or her case. The fees are based upon a percentage of the recovery. However, win or lose you might still be responsible for paying the Lawyer's out-of-pocket expenses for items like court reporters and medical records.
Q. Do I really need a Lawyer?
A. In most cases a Lawyer can help you to understand the legal process better and get better results for you than if you went to court by yourself. Every Lawyer in the State of Illinois has at least a bachelor's degree plus a law degree obtained in post-graduate study, has passed the Illinois Bar Exam, and is licensed by the State of Illinois. Many also belong to professional organizations such as the Will County Bar Association to help them stay current on the latest developments in the law. Keep in mind that the other party to the dispute usually has a Lawyer. Judges are prohibited by law from giving legal advice to either party.
Q. How do I find a Lawyer?
A. You can visit our Lawyer Referral Service on this web site, or call our Lawyer Referral Service directly at (815) 726-0383 or (815) 726-1015.

Literary Classics Adapted For Kids
Classic Literature Baby Books: Kid-Friendly or Are You Kidding?
If you're a bibliophile, chances are you're eager to move on from Goodnight Moon and Pat the Bunny to meatier fare. I love Eric Carle's books, but we recently added Have You Seen My Cat? to my daughter's collection, a book in which every single page says, "Have you seen my cat?" and "This is not my cat!" Absolute torture after three readings.
You can entertain your baby and be reminded of your days reading books with actual chapters if you pick up BabyLit's new collection of literary classics-turned-board books ($10 each). Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet have all been gorgeously reimagined for lil ones with clever, simple text by Jennifer Adams and stylish illustrations by Alison Oliver. Pride and Prejudice and Romeo and Juliet are also available as eBooks for your iPad ($4 each).
While I'm seriously digging these interpretations of some of my favorite classic books, I'm not sure the stories of star-crossed lovers and tortured orphans are quite baby-appropriate. What do you think? Are these BabyLit board books kid-friendly or will you stick to Karen Katz and Sandra Boynton?

Microfinance: Is Grameen Founder Muhammad Yunus a Bloodsucker of the Poor?
You know you're in trouble when the prime minister of your country accuses you of bloodsucking the poor.
Muhammad Yunus, the founder and managing director of Grameen Bank, found himself on the receiving end of a blistering attack from the Bangladeshi prime minister. Sheikh Hasina, who has held the office since 2008, didn't stop there:
"There has been no improvement in the lifestyle of the poor so far. They were just used as pawns to get more aid."
The devastating critique was not issued by Mrs. Hasina lightly. It attacks the reputation of a figure who was awarded the Nobel Prize and who has achieved celebrity status on The Simpsons and acclaim for efforts to alleviate poverty through microfinance–small loans–to the poor in Bangladesh.
The reason behind these attacks is the revelation that Dr. Yunus has not been entirely transparent with his handling of millions of dollars of aid money from Europe.

Cubs expected to name manager this week
Ausmus reportedly takes job with Tigers; Lovullo could be added to candidates list
CHICAGO -- Expect a new Cubs manager to be revealed this week. All that's known so far is who it won't be.
Brad Ausmus, who interviewed Friday with the Cubs, has reportedly been hired as the Tigers' next manager. Ausmus was the sixth candidate to talk to Theo Epstein, Cubs president of baseball operations.
On Tuesday, former Indians and Mariners manager Eric Wedge, 45, met with Epstein and the front office to discuss the vacant manager's job. The Cubs also have interviewed Rick Renteria, A.J. Hinch, Dave Martinez and Manny Acta.
The Cubs also are expected to interview Red Sox bench coach Torey Lovullo, 48, this week, according to FOX Sports and MLB Network's Ken Rosenthal. Epstein hired Lovullo to manage the Red Sox's Triple-A Pawtucket team in 2010.
Lovullo also managed in the Indians' Minor League system. He interviewed for the Dodgers' job in 2006 and Boston's managerial opening prior to '12, when the Red Sox hired Bobby Valentine.
In an October interview with Fangraphs, Lovullo said the Boston approach has been to be "very dynamic." Epstein has said he wants someone who is creative and communicates well.
"What we've done here is create an environment that these guys have bought into," Lovullo said in the Fangraphs interview. "We might be asking for something in April you won't see again until August. But these guys will be ready to execute it, and understand it, because we talked about it and believe in it. We want to be dynamic. We want to be able to switch roles if we need to, and score a run a different way than a three-run home run."
The only deadline Epstein has set is to have someone in place by Nov. 11, when the General Manager Meetings are held. Dale Sveum was dimissed on Sept. 30 after two seasons as the Cubs manager.
Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer hired Ausmus as a special assistant with the Padres in November 2010, when Hoyer was the GM in San Diego, and Ausmus was the third person with a San Diego connection to interview for the Chicago job. Renteria, 51, who also interviewed with the Mariners and Tigers, is the Padres' bench coach. Hinch, 39, is currently involved with player development in the Padres' front office.
Epstein has said he wants someone with managerial experience, which Ausmus lacked. Ausmus played for 18 seasons, but his only time as a manager was with Team Israel in a qualifying tournament for the World Baseball Classic.
Renteria does not have any time in the big leagues as a manager, but he has worked in the Minor Leagues, beginning in 1998, as manager in the Marlins organization with the Class A Brevard County team. He left the Marlins system after managing in Double-A in 2001, and he was a hitting coach for the Padres' Class A Lake Elsinore Minor League team in '03.
In 2004, Renteria took over as Lake Elsinore's manager, and after three seasons, he moved up to manage Triple-A Portland. Renteria joined the Padres' Major League staff in '08, and he has been San Diego's bench coach since '11. He also managed Team Mexico in the World Baseball Classic this year.
Wedge, 45, was the American League manager of the year in 2007, when the Indians won 96 games and finished first in the AL Central. He compiled a 561-573 record in Cleveland but was dismissed after a 97-loss season in '09. Wedge had been the Mariners' manager since '11, posting a 213-273 record, but he parted ways with the club at the end of the season. He also missed 27 games this year after suffering a minor stroke.
Martinez, 49, the only candidate who played for the Cubs, has been the Rays' bench coach the last six seasons. Acta, 44, managed the Nationals (2007-09) and Indians ('10-12).

Within two hours of her AIDS diagnosis Linda Scruggs was on a bridge ready to jump off but then she heard God, found faith and began helping others. Here, the programs director for AIDS Alliance for Children, Youth & Families, talks about breaking stigma, what it will take to end the epidemic among women and the power of telling your own story.
Q: Given the fact that at one point you felt hopeless, what does it mean to you personally and professionally to have been invited to speak at the International AIDS Conference?
A: I never would have imagined 22 years ago that I would receive the invitation on April 11th to speak at the International AIDS Conference. It wasn't a goal. It wasn't a plan. I had no clue, no inkling that my voice would have traveled so far that internationally people would say, "Yes, she's a person who can come and speak on behalf of women."
I read in an interview that you believe it's important that people have vision. What vision do you have for the HIV/AIDS epidemic among U.S. women and what needs to happen for it to come about?
It's reflected in the speech I will be giving on making women count. Twenty-four percent of the epidemic consists of women. We need better messaging across the board and scholars to come up with educational programs, training and innovative ways to connect women to their own health care. We need to get to a place where we have enough aggregate data available and reported to get stakeholders to provide funding and support. Getting to that vision is not just about the funding but about funding programs that work and are innovative and changing because AIDS is changing.
What must we do to raise women's voices, increase awareness of the epidemic among women -- particularly Black American women -- and support women's leadership in ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the U.S. and around the world?
We won't end AIDS for Black women or any women until we break the stigma associated with AIDS, change the human response to individuals with HIV/AIDS and make AIDS a normal part of conversations.
I'll give you an example. I went to my HIV doctor and I got on the elevator and this gentleman said, "Oh, we're going to the same floor." I said, "Yes." He said, "We might be going to the same doctor." I responded, "I don't know; I'm going to see my HIV doctor." He totally froze into the corner, but what had been was a real flirty moment until I said I was going to an HIV doctor. So we still have those responses in 2012.
You have been very public about your status. Why is it important for HIV-positive women to tell their stories?
I think as a woman it was important for me to tell my story so that the media didn't tell my story to my family. I didn't ever want my children, my family to think that HIV was yucky and ugly -- those were the visuals we saw. I only want to imagine that I got HIV during a time when I was having an incredible sexual moment. I made a decision that I must have been having a serious sexual experience, and therefore it wasn't yucky; it wasn't ugly.
What have you gained as a result of telling your story?
I think more than anything I've gained a sense of peace. When I started doing this I was 25 or 26 years old and pregnant. I needed to leave my son a legacy. The life that I had lived before hadn't given anything to this world. Now their aunts and their uncles will be able to say, "Your mother gave of herself, she helped this world."
What is your greatest hope for the conference as it relates to women?
Important things are happening. I really hope that the people, programs, providers and policy makers will make sure that women are a first thought in their programming and research. For the past three decades we have talked about HIV in these rooms. And there is so much power, information and education in these rooms. But it has stayed in that space. As a consequence we have been negligent to the larger community.

Australia Post wants people to pay more for a fast, five-day-a-week letter delivery service.
Australia Post says its existing letter delivery service is losing so much money that it could eventually overwhelm the entire group, so it needs to be overhauled.
Details of proposed changes came as the government-owned postal service reported a 34.5 per cent slide in full year profit to $116.2 million.
Profit was pulled back by losses of $328.4 million in the mail business amid a drop in letter volumes and higher costs.
Until now, Australia Post's growing parcel delivery service has been able to cover the losses in the mail business, but that may have happened for the last time.
To help stem mail's losses, chief executive Ahmed Fahour is advocating a "priority" letter delivery service to be introduced alongside "regular" deliveries.
Under the priority service, customers would pay extra to ensure their letter is delivered within a set time, in a similar fashion to Britain's Royal Mail which offers a "first" and "second" class delivery service.
The price of the priority stamp has not been determined yet.
Under the regular service, mail would still be delivered five days a week, but letters may take longer to get to their destination.
"What we're asking for is the regulatory change to enable us to put in place product choices," Mr Fahour told reporters on Thursday.
"We are not changing five-days-a-week (delivery). We will continue to offer five-days-a-week while customer demand is there."
The number of letters handled by Australia Post has fallen dramatically.
Mr Fahour said only three per cent of letters delivered to the letterbox is social mail, and the rest is from the likes of banks and government, or advertisers.
And businesses and government are moving away from traditional letters, in favour of email and other forms of communication.
Without urgent changes to its community service obligations on mail delivery and pricing, Australia Post would soon become a loss-making enterprise, Mr Fahour said.
Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull said the federal government wanted to ensure Australia Post could maintain a sustainable mail service accessible to everyone.
"We are working closely with Australia Post and considering their options for reform to ensure the company does not become a burden on the budget," he said.
Mr Fahour said continued losses in the letter delivery business would likely result in some more workers being shifted over to Australia Post's profitable parcel delivery service, or other operations.
Australia Post has already reduced jobs in the mail division and created 2,000 elsewhere.
The union representing postal workers, the Communications Electrical Plumbing Union, urged Australia Post "to do the right things by its employees" and ensure they do not fall victim to short-sighted cost-cutting measures.

If you have ever started a new job, you know that the first 90 days are like trying to drink water from a fire hose. You receive massive amounts of information and introductions that are nearly impossible to digest. To succeed, you have to set priorities – focusing on what needs to be addressed first.
Since being named President & CEO of Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network, I've received a number of supportive inquiries from friends and family, colleagues and other health-care executives. Most of the questions I received are a variation of the same theme – Why Good Shepherd? And, why now?
Recently, I announced my intention to retire as President & CEO of Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network in July 2013. (Click here to read the press release). Since the announcement, I have received numerous well wishes as well as some thoughtful questions regarding the future – my future, the future of Good Shepherd and the future of health care.
The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to hand down its decision on the health-care form law in June. Whether the law remains intact or is repealed, Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network is focused on providing high-quality post-acute care with the best possible patient outcomes.

Subsisting on a diet drawn from one food group isn't healthy or gratifying. Even eating cupcakes 24/7 eventually would get old! And yet when it comes to feeding our sexual appetite, many of us rely on one mode to sate all of our romantic cravings. Turns out, women who order the same meal at the same restaurant every time, so to speak, are missing out. Engaging in different shagging styles not only prevents boredom in the bedroom, but "it also fulfills your many physical and emotional needs, allows you to express different aspects of your personality and enables you to grow sexually as a couple," explains Ian Kerner, Ph.D., a sex and relationship therapist in New York City. No one is saying you have to install a trapeze in your bedroom or invite the neighbors to join in. But just as following the food pyramid's guidelines will improve your overall diet, integrating different types of sex into your regular routine can healthy, well-rounded and satisfying sex life.
What it is A leisurely exploration of each other's body that allows you to reestablish your bond; it may or may not include intercourse.The benefits Having an orgasm may feel good (OK, amazing), but more measured lovemaking fulfills our innate need for emotional closeness. Because feeling in sync is so integral to relationship satisfaction, intimate sex is often at the base of women's sex pyramid. "Feeling connected and conveying your affection for one another requires you to slow down and really tune in to each other," says Trina Read, author of Till Sex Do Us Part: Make Your Married Sex Irresistible (Key Porter Books). "When you race to the finish line, it's easy to lose sight of your partner's physical and emotional needs," Read says. By spending some time between the sheets with no pressure to have an orgasm—or even intercourse—you'll appreciate the act and each other more, which is bound to generate some of those warm and fuzzy feelings.
The recipe No matter how long you've known your partner, he still can't read your mind, so communicate what makes you feel connected. (He probably doesn't know how much you miss those marathon make-out sessions—you have to tell him!) To ensure an affirmative response, "offer some positive reinforcement by saying, 'I loved it when you did such and such…let's try that again!'" says Emily Dubberley, author of The Going Down Guide (St. Martin's Press). In the moment, do whatever you need to do to feel closer: Kiss, laugh, share a secret you've never told anyone. You'll feel so enamored that it won't matter whether it ends with a bang.
What it is Anything that's out of the realm of your routine, whether it's a new position, sex in the shower or dressing up in a costume.The benefits Mixing it up in bed enhances your sexual self-esteem, so adventurous sex will probably fall somewhere in the middle of your sex pyramid. "Doing something different, whether or not it's 'successful,' will increase your confidence and embolden you to step out of your comfort zone more often," Read explains. Shaking things up will likely accelerate your sex drive, too: "When you venture into uncharted territory, it sticks out in your memory," she says. And the more you think about sex, the more frequently you'll want to do it.
The recipe If broaching the topic of, say, trying a new sex toy seems intimidating, you're in good company. "Many women want to experiment with their partners but aren't sure how to bring it up," says Amy Levine, a certified sexuality educator in New York City. Some common concerns: "Women may worry their mate will think he's inadequate, or they're afraid he'll judge them or question where they came up with the idea in the first place," she explains. A relatively painless approach is the old "I just read about [fill in the blank] in a magazine or book. Does that sound fun to you?" Another way to suggest something racy—write down five things that you'd like to try; ask him to do the same and then compare notes. Anything that appears on both lists gets the green light, and you can approve or consider the other items. One cautionary note: Imagine hooking up with Johnny Depp all you want, but it's generally best to share only those fantasies in which your partner has a starring role.
What it is Fast, furious and strikingly short on foreplay: Let's do this right here and right now! (Otherwise known as a quickie.)The benefits For a busy woman who juggles work, kids, chores and more, finding time for sex can present a challenge. That's why a quickie can be the perfect solution when you need to sneak some lovin' into a packed calendar. It's also a fun, effective way to show your partner that your relationship is still on the radar, so electric sex might occupy one of the middle tiers of your pyramid. It can inject a little excitement into your life, too: If both of you can step away from your desk in the middle of the day, sneaking out to meet up for an hour or so is exhilarating. "There's no better way to break up an otherwise monotonous day," Levine says. "Once you get back to work, you'll be totally fired up for the rest of the afternoon."
The recipe The beauty of speedy sex is that it doesn't require elaborate forethought. You simply need to carve out a sliver of time in your hectic day. If a lunchtime tryst isn't practical, squeeze in a session before dinner or set your alarm clock 15 minutes early and connect before the kids wake up. Stuck at a boring party? Sneak off to the powder room together to make it a night you'll both never forget. (Remember to lock the door.)
What it is You just had a major blowout. Now that it's over, all you want to do is take each other's clothes off so you can kiss and make up.The benefits No one is encouraging you to pick a fight, but the occasional healthy, nonabusive argument—wherein both parties expresses their feelings and opinions—can actually be a bonding experience. What's more, the hormone that's produced during sex, oxytocin (also known as the cuddle hormone), can help facilitate reconciliation. "Making love after a fight helps put you in a much more forgiving mood," Kerner says. "It can create a willingness to resolve things with each other." Ideally, you're not duking it out on a regular basis, so makeup sex tends to be one of the top levels of a woman's sex pyramid.
The recipe When you're steamed at your mate, you don't have to wait to make amends verbally before getting it on. "Having sex is a form of apology in itself," Kerner says. "It's a physical way to express that you love one another and want to work things out." Still, no matter how great the makeup sex is, intercourse alone won't solve whatever issue you were fighting about in the first place, so Kerner recommends sleeping on it and officially resolving things the next morning. Chances are, you will have a clearer head and be able to address the issue from a more peaceful perspective. Besides, it's hard to stay ticked off when you've been spooning all night!
What it is You know exactly what you want, and you're not going to stop until you get it. (Whips or cuffs are not necessarily required.)The benefits Jumping into the driver's seat in the sack can be incredibly empowering. "Taking charge is a great opportunity to express yourself and your desires," explains Kerner, who contends that reaching for the reins can translate into feeling more assertive outside the bedroom. What's more, you virtually ensure you will meet your needs: "You increase your pleasure potential when you accept responsibility for your sexual satisfaction and don't sacrifice your needs to those of your partner," Kerner says. Because being on the bossy side in bed isn't for everyone, take-charge sex often resides toward the top of most women's pyramid.
The recipe Before setting foot in the bedroom, imagine what it would be like to dominate your mate in detail. It's different for every woman—it may mean being on top or blindfolding him. Share those thoughts with your man to set the mood and get the ball rolling; if you're not inclined to have a conversation, act it out the next time you're in bed. "Having a particular visual image in your head will inspire you to turn your fantasy into a reality," Kerner explains. Go ahead; unleash your inner dominatrix!
What it is No partner, no pressure, only your vivid imagination and perhaps a battery-operated device.The benefits Masturbation shouldn't be reserved for dry spells or those times when your honey is out of town. If you're in a relationship and have an active sex life, solo sex may not be a top priority, so it may be at the tip of your pyramid. For single ladies, it might be closer to the foundation. But one thing's for sure: Singular sessions have some serious benefits. They not only feel sensational but also can reduce stress, encourage sleep and help you point your partner in the right direction when you do team up. Plus, "the longer women go without an orgasm, the less they want and need it over time," Read says, explaining that orgasms produce testosterone, the same hormone that drives us to want sex in the first place. So the more orgasms you experience, the more you want. Handy equation, isn't it?
The recipe Take advantage of any quiet alone time and curl up with a steamy novel, sexy movie or simply your favorite fantasy. Instead of going straight for the usual hot spots, take the time to explore your stomach, thighs and other less obvious but still erogenous zones. "There may be parts of your body you would never suspect to be erotic that turn out to offer great pleasure," Levine insists. Still wary? Masturbation isn't dirty or wrong, you're not cheating on your partner and you won't become addicted to artificial stimulation like Charlotte on Sex and the City did. It's just one of the many ingredients that make up a delicious, well-balanced sex diet.

As well as a balanced diet and a good exercise regime, supplements are essential to anyone who wishes to train harder and longer whilst ensuring the body has all the support it needs.
Supplements are ideal for complimenting a fitness programme, whether it is taking supplements alongside your weight training goals, or along with your chosen sport profession, supplements are a must for any serious athlete.
Herbalife's range of supplements, not only aid your sporting goals and training needs, but all our supplements can be used to improve sports performance and improve recovery from events and training.
Supplements are also a great way of avoiding illness and injury!
As an athlete training up to 12 times a week you always keep an ear to the ground for any new products that may help performance. However, I am very cynical of new revolutionary products that can change the way you train and perform. But, I tried Herbalife and haven't looked back. Structuring my nutrition around the Herbalife products couldn't have been easier and they are easy to use and fit into a hectic schedule.
I have found in my training that I am training harder and more consistently than before. I am lifting heavier weights but doing more reps, my times and tests on the rowing machine are getting faster but more importantly being consistent and training on the water is much quicker and I am now able to push myself harder than before. But for the most important thing…racing. At the last Head Race in my single scull not only was I the fastest sculler in my status but the fastest sculler of the whole event! This stuff really works. I am looking forward to a successful winters training that I can then take forward into the regatta season of 2009! - Tim Goldsbrough

How about Content-type headers? Are they determined by the file extension automatically? Are they only needed in the HTML5 code? Are they an issue anywhere in this project using HTML5 (not Flash player)?
The most difficult question of all:Can I use an Electric Imp Agent to directly serve the file to the HTML5 page? I have sent the contents of a file this way before including the WAV headers. The path is binary clean so I don't have to BASE64 encode it.
I plan on doing it like this:http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_audio.aspContent-type headers are not needed?
<audio controls> <source src="sound.wav" type="audio/wav"> <source src="sound.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">Your browser does not support the audio element.</audio>
<audio controls> If available and can play it, then play this one -----> sound.wavelse if not available or can't play the one above, try this one ----> sound.mp3if can't find or play either, display this message -------> Your browser does not support the audio element.</audio>
I know I don't have to use the Electric Imp.I want to use the Imp, for another related project.Can I serve the audio file from the Agent to my HTML5 webpage above?
Just specify them in the HTML5 code like above?
What if the wav file is coming from another host? How does it send the Content-type headers?
<audio controls> <source src="http://www.TheOtherServer.com/sound.wav" type="audio/wav"></audio>

Crashed aircraft is Fossett's, authorities confirm
'Number plate' identifies adventurer's Bellanca Super Decathalon
Updated Authorities have confirmed that the crashed Bellanca Super Decathalon in the mountains of eastern California is that of Steve Fossett, although the wreckage contains no body.
A hiker on Monday found Fosset's ID documents, including his pilot and glider licences and his membership card for the National Aeronautic Association. The discovery led to a renewed search for the missing adventurer, which earlier today resulted in the location of the wrecked aircraft.
Preston Morrow, store manager of Kittredge Sports in Mammoth Lakes, Mono County, California, was hiking with his dog in the Inyo National Forest in neighbouring Madera County, some 140 miles south of Reno when he stumbled across the licences, as well as clothing and cash.
Fosset was last seen on 3 September 2007 at hotelier Barron Hilton's Flying M Ranch, roughly 70 miles southeast of Reno, when he took off in his Bellanca Super Decathalon to reccy possible locations for a planned attempt on the world land-speed record. An extensive search failed to locate him or the remains of his aircraft, and he was officially declared dead in February this year.
According to Morrow's boss, Tom Cage, the items - including a "weathered Nautica brand sweatshirt" plus ten $100 bills and a $5 bill" - were at an elevation of 10,100 feet, two miles east of a range of jagged peaks dubbed the Minarets and "about six miles into some very tough terrain".
Cage explained: "Preston didn't realize what he found until the next day. He just thought he was taking some trash out of the wilderness, so he took it home, watched Monday night football and didn't look at it again until the next day."
Once they realised the significance of the finds, Morrow and his wife retured to the site on Tuesday "to search for more items and to get GPS coordinates". They then presented Mammoth Lakes Police Department with the evidence and coordinates.
Ground search teams from Mono and Madera Counties yesterday scoured the area for possible aircraft remains, assisted by helicopters and an aircraft from the California Highway Patrol. Just before dusk, an aerial spotter sighted "what appeared to be wreckage of an airplane".
Madera County sheriff's spokeswoman Erica Stuart said late last night: "Our teams are going in to that area, and we hope to know whether it is really plane wreckage, and if it is Fossett's or someone else's, by morning."
The operation was successful, and the National Transportation Safety Board confirmed this morning that searchers had located a crashed Bellanca Super Decathlon near Mammoth Lakes. It was later identified by a "number plate" as Fossett's.
Madera County Sheriff John Anderson explained that the aircraft appeared to have hit a mountain head-on. He said: "The crash looked so severe I doubt if someone would have walked away from it. There was no body in the plane. We have not found any human remains at the crash site."
Anderson added around 50 people and dog teams would now search the area for a possible body. He did, however, caution: "It's quite often if you don't find remains within a few days, because of animals, you'll find nothing at all."
The Mammoth Lakes region was last year subjected to a brief aerial survey, "based on an unconfirmed reported sighting of Fossett's plane in the area" - without result. However, he was known to fly along the route of Highway 395, which "passes close to Mammoth Lakes as it snakes from Canada to the Mojave Desert".
While Fossett had been searching for dry lake beds, and the lakes in the area being searched are "generally filled with water", US Forest Service spokeswoman Nancy Upham explained "there are dry lake beds in the Nevada mountains not far to the east". ®

Cutting with Lasers and Waterjets--The Right Process at the Right Time
|Sample parts from stainless steel and aluminum alloys, in three thicknesses, demonstrate the edge-quality differences when cutting with laser and waterjet.
Laser-cutting machines use a high-power laser beam to cut through sheet and plate.
Twenty years ago, lasers were capable of cutting 1⁄2-in. steel at 1 to 2 in./min. Today, systems can cut 1⁄2-in. steel at 80 in./min. Automation, increased resonator power, and improvements in controllers have revolutionized the laser industry.
Lasers can quickly and easily switch from one metal alloy to the next with little downtime. Also, automation equipment helps fabricators achieve lean manufacturing by increasing output while decreasing or eliminating labor costs.
Waterjet cutting represents one of the fastest-growing technologies used in the metal-fabrication industry. The process uses a high-pressure stream of water, with an added abrasive such as garnet, to make the cut. No heat is generated during waterjet cutting, eliminating the risk of material distortion.
Waterjet cutting suits nearly every material, including glass, ceramic, wood, stone, plastic and rubber. This versatility can help niche suppliers branch out of small market segments and appeal to a much broader customer base.
The Right Process for the Job
Laser- and waterjet-cutting machines offer a good life expectancy since they do not use dynamic machining forces and they do not make direct contact with the workpiece during cutting. So, when both technologies can do the job at hand, how does a fabricator determine which process to use? Understanding a few key factors can help simplify the decision.
• Speed and thickness—Lasers are well-suited to cutting metal-alloy parts as thick as 1⁄2 in., but they can cut steel plate to 11⁄2-in. thick. On the other hand, waterjets can cut plate to 6 in. Lasers often have a speed advantage over waterjets. For example, on 1-in.-thick carbon steel, a waterjet with a pump that develops 60,000 PSI and equipped with a 0.014-in. orifice and a 0.030-in. nozzle, and consuming abrasive at a rate of 1.2lb./min., cuts at 2.9 in./min. Comparatively, a 4-kW laser with a 2-mm coaxial nozzle, and using oxygen as the assist gas at 8.4 PSI, can cut more than eight times faster at 24.5 in./min. Waterjet, however, can cut through significantly thicker materials, and alternative materials, with ease. For example, cutting the sample parts shown in the photos, a waterjet machine cut the same part from 0.75-in. foam rubber in 45 sec., from 0.375-in. granite in 198 sec., and from 0.625-in. glass in 126 sec.
• Material—Lasers can process materials other than metal alloys, but this doesn't mean they should. On plastics and rubbers, for example, laser cutting releases unappealing byproducts, while waterjet can easily cut these materials without releasing hazardous byproducts.
Highly reflective materials such as aluminum and copper also are particularly difficult for lasers to cut. For example, the cutting speed for laser and waterjet are nearly identical on 1⁄2-in. aluminum, but edge quality is significantly better with waterjet (see photos).
A laser performs best on smooth surfaces; textured surfaces can alter the flow of the assist gas and disrupt the beam's focus. A waterjet, on the other hand, does not discriminate when it comes to reflectivity or texture.
• Finish—The heat from laser cutting produces a small heat-affected zone (HAZ) near the cut, which could require secondary finishing depending on finish requirements. Waterjet does not create an HAZ. In addition, waterjet cutting delivers a smooth edge finish without jagged edges, slag or burrs, eliminating the need for secondary finishing processes such as grinding. Also, because the process does not impart heat to the workpiece material, it will not distort the parts, which then can be easily stacked to increase productivity. MF

The example, below, surprised me. It seems to be counter intuitive... aside from the fact that there is a whisker more user time for the
echo | sed combo.
Why is
echo using so much sys time when it runs alone, or should the question be, How does
sed change the state of play? It seems that
echo would needs to do the same echo-ing in both cases...

Christopher Daniels talked about how TNA could complete with WWE during an interview with Red Eye Chicago. Here is what he said.
"Well I think a lot of it has to do with just awareness of the brand," Daniels said. "So many people, especially lapsed wrestling fans from the boom back in the late 90's – early 2000's, a lot of wrestling fans sort of went away. And they aren't really aware that there is another brand now, now that WCW closed and ECW closed. A lot of people went away right after that, and they're not really aware that there's another brand out, other than the WWE, just sort of enjoy professional wrestling.
"And the truth of the matter is sometimes it's hard to be different from the WWE when you're trying to gain those same viewers. Sometimes there's a tendency to sort of follow in the footsteps of the WWE. And so it's sort of a fine line where you want to be recognizable as professional wrestling but you also want to set yourself apart from what some people consider the standard of professional wrestling, which is the WWE.
"So I think the challenge for us as individuals is try to stand out. Try to get people talking. Try to get that word of mouth out about our product. Not just ourselves but the entire roster as a whole. Trying to get people talking about the differences in our talent. The differences in terms of the stories we're telling in the ring. Trying to get some buzz about the things that we're doing."

The most hated husband in America is packing his bags and leaving his San Francisco home.
Noe Valley resident Stephen Fowler became a YouTube sensation and the object of ridicule at the same time after he was featured in an episode of "Wife Swap."
Fowler became famous after he called a rural Missouri woman spending two weeks in his San Francisco home stupid and simple on the ABC reality show last January. He was condemned but his own wife and the rest of the reality watching country.
And now the pressure of arguably being San Francisco's biggest "jack ass" has apparently caught up with him. Fowler is reportedly selling his Noe Valley home.
The 4,395-square-foot Victorian has six bedrooms, 4.5 baths and a private rooftop deck. It was last purchased for $730,000 in 1999. Fowler is asking a whopping $2,095,000.
There is no word on where Fowler is moving but it is safe to say the British born reality star is not moving to the middle Americawhere their "two languages seem to be bad English and redneck."

Every week is a battle. There's seldom any bloodshed, and generally no tears. But every week is a battle for the consumer mind and the consumer heart. Here's the way we saw things this week: one winner, one loser and one company that's sort of treaded water despite big announcements.+ Gateway With the release of their XHD3000 Extreme HD, Gateway smacked big display leaders Dell and Apple aside the head. 2560x1600 resolution, or 1600p, is what having a premium monitor is all about. Overkill.
- RIAA Yeah, they technically aren't a tech company, but they certainly made a lot of gadget consumers sick this week when a court ordered that defendant Jammie Thomaspay the RIAA $222,000 in damages for 24 stolen tracks. And never forget this quote from Sony BMG during the trial: "When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song." Making "a copy" of a song you bought is "a nice way of saying 'steals just one copy.' "
= Microsoft Microsoft released their long-rumored Zune 2. A new flash model will compliment the updated classic players, and the new Wi-Fi syncing is available on all old Zunes, too (very classy). But we want even more from a new model this late in the DAP game. And losing major Microsoft Game Studios development company Bungie, even with secure rights of the Halo canon, was a knock to this industry giant.

"We want this to be a nice opening like you'd find in New York or up in Chicago," enthuses local artist Andrew Woolbright, describing the debut exhibit this Friday (11.11.11) of The Pharmacy, a collective studio and gallery for Springfield artists. "Café Andiamo is going to cater the entire event, and there's going to be wine. We definitely want it to be a dressier occasion."
The Pharmacy itself is housed at 401 South Grand Avenue West, former home of King Harvest Food Co-Op and Watt Bros. Pharmacy, the latter providing inspiration for the name of both the space and the collective. Woolbright founded The Pharmacy this past summer, along with prominent local artist Phil Ackerman. "Phil was renting out the front space and I was renting out the back, and when I came back from my last semester [at Chicago's School of the Art Institute], we just thought it would be a good idea to maybe invite some other artists in and it's kind of taken off from there."
This Friday's opening will take place two blocks away from The Pharmacy proper, at 1022 S. Pasfield, a former auto repair garage. "Most of the best openings I went to [in larger cities] would pop up in someone's apartment or in some warehouse and would be gone the next day," Woolbright explains. "As soon as we got this location, all of us got excited. It's kind of got that meat packing district, Chelsea feel, it's really bare, with concrete floors, high ceilings."
In contrast to other local art gatherings, such as Third Thursday, the material appearing in the Pharmacy show is juried, meaning that the group internally critiqued the work to decide what would appear. "The most I've ever learned in art has come from being critiqued and people being completely honest," says Woolbright. "I've always thought of the critique being like the vaccination – you're injecting yourself with the disease to protect yourself from the disease."
While the work shown in this and future exhibitions will be juried and curated, membership in the collective is open to all, limited only by availability of space. Even so, The Pharmacy has already incurred its share of controversy in the local art scene. "It's kind of unfortunate considering how small of a culture Springfield has, how many factions spring up within that," Woolbright sighs. "There's been a lot of hostility to this place – of course, there's been a lot of love too. But some of the most innocuous things I could ever think of doing have been construed as, like, acts of war."
Far from warlike, Woolbright and Ackerman are primarily motivated by a desire for connection with other artists. "I think the whole point of art is community," says Woolbright. "I mean, personally, I hate painting alone and I hate working on art alone. The only reason Pollock and DeKooning initially did art was so they had something to talk about while they were getting wasted."
Opening of The Pharmacy Group Show will be on Friday, Nov. 11, from 6-9 p.m. at 1022 S. Pasfield in Springfield. The Harvest String Quartet from Peoria will be performing.

Willingham, Plouffe back Pelfrey's win in Twins debut
Right-hander throws 5 1/3 innings, earns first victory since August 2011
MINNEAPOLIS -- It was only three games, but the early returns on the Twins' rebuilt pitching staff were certainly good against the Tigers in the club's first series of the year.
New additions Vance Worley, Kevin Correia and Mike Pelfrey combined for a 2.45 ERA and gave up just three extra-base hits in 18 1/3 innings to help the Twins to a series win over the defending AL Central champions.
Pelfrey picked up the victory in the series finale, as he was solid in his first start since undergoing Tommy John surgery, and Josh Willingham and Trevor Plouffe both homered to help lead the Twins to an 8-2 win over the Tigers on Thursday at Target Field.
"These first three have all given us good performances," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We know it's a long, long season but it's a good start. Three good starts in a row is huge for our baseball team. We talked about that enough in the winter. We just want them to give us a chance."
Pelfrey, who had the surgery performed on May 1, 2012, didn't give up an earned run in his Twins debut. The right-hander gave up two unearned runs on five hits and two walks over 5 1/3 innings in his first outing since April 21, 2012, and his first victory since Aug. 24, 2011.
"It felt good," Pelfrey said. "Always going into a year, whether you're coming back from injury or not, it's always good to get that first one out of the way. It went good. We got a 'W' and won the series, which is huge."
Aaron Hicks added to the Twins' firsts, as his first career hit, a two-run single in the eighth, capped the scoring. Hicks was hitless in his first 11 at-bats with seven strikeouts.
Two errors led to the Tigers' runs, as Joe Mauer made a throwing error in the first inning trying to throw out Austin Jackson as he attempted to steal second. Jackson reached third on the throw and scored on an RBI groundout by Torii Hunter.
Pedro Florimon made the other error on a bad throw on a routine grounder hit to shortstop by Hunter. Hunter reached second on the play and came around to score on an RBI single from Miguel Cabrera.
But Willingham tied the game at 2 in the third inning with one swing against Tigers right-hander Rick Porcello. Willingham launched a two-run blast to give the Twins their first homer of the season.
Plouffe then gave the Twins a 3-2 lead on a solo shot to left with one out in the fourth. It marked the ninth time the two have homered in the same game dating back to last year.
"That's what good hitters do when you fall behind and you miss with fastballs over the plate," said Porcello, who gave up three runs on six hits over 5 1/3 innings. "That was just a product of two poorly pitched at-bats on my part."
Reliever Jared Burton and Ryan Pressly, in his Major League debut, each threw a scoreless inning to seal the win.
Chris Parmelee's single off Fielder's glove scored Justin Morneau in the eighth to give the Twins a 4-2 lead, and then Florimon drove in Parmelee and Ryan Doumit on a single to left before Hicks drove in two more on his sharp single to right.
The Tigers wasted a prime scoring opportunity in the seventh, when reliever Josh Roenicke loaded the bases with one out after an intentional walk to Cabrera. Left-handed reliever Tyler Robertson came in and struck out Prince Fielder for the second out before right-hander Casey Fien was able to get out of the inning by getting Victor Martinez to pop out to second.
"Joe [Mauer] told me he thought I could throw a couple fastballs as long as I threw them away," Robertson said about striking out Fielder. "He's a good fastball hitter and I was able to throw him two pretty good ones and I think it surprised him. It sped him up a little bit and I was able to get him out with my slider."
The win improved the Twins to 2-1 this year, and marked the first time the club has been above .500 since the last game of the 2010 season.
"I think after the last couple of years it's important for us to get off to a good start," Pelfrey said. "I know the expectations outside the clubhouse aren't the greatest, but everyone in here believes in each other and knows what we're capable of."

|Assistant Coach
|Previous College:
|California '08
|Fourth Season
Wood joined the water polo staff at Harvard in September of 2010, reuniting with Ted Minnis who she served with as an assistant coach at Castilleja School for two years.
As Minnis' assistant during his first year at the helm of the Harvard water polo teams, Wood worked with the team's goalies and coordinated practices with Minnis. Wood helped lead both teams to their highest win totals in several years (men - 12, women - 17), and was part of a staff that coached a combined three CWPA all-conference players and seven CWPA players of the week. In 2012, Wood helped guide both programs to seventh-place finishes at Easterns with four Crimson earning all-conference accolades.
Wood continued to help the program improve in 2013. The men won 15 games and finished in seventh place at the CWPA Eastern Championships, while the women finished in sixth at the championships. The men had their first first team All-CWPA Northern Division selection since 2009, and the women had three All-CWPA Southern Division picks, including goalkeeper Ariel Dukes.
Wood, a top recruit for California who was sidelined with injuries, started her coaching career in college when she served as a pool site director and swim instructor for the Little Dipper Swim School. She joined Minnis on the Castilleja staff in August of 2008. During her tenure, Wood served as the junior varsity head coach and varsity assistant before being promoted to associate head coach. In addition to her water polo duties, she coached the swim team and was a substitute teacher in the fitness and wellness department.
Wood also has experience coaching in the Olympic Development program with Golden Bear Water Polo and College Park High School. She served as the Aquatics Director at the Menlo Country Club for six months and at the Stanford Water Polo Club, she coached the girls U12, U14 and U16.
Away from the pool, Wood was a sales lead for the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, Calif.
Wood graduated from Cal in 2008 with a degree in education and social change.
