Rebecca - San Diego, CA
My Beloit College experience inspires me to continue to learn and live an adventurous, unconventional, and daring life. My Beloit College professors were the first people in my life to give me confidence that I was a strong writer and thinker. They believed in me, and I started to believe in myself. The Beloit College community offered me opportunities to thrive in leadership roles. Beloit College delivered a strong Liberal Arts experience that serves me in all my varieties of experience from teaching English as a Second Language to performing sacred music on my Hang drum. I appreciate Beloit College's commitment to encouraging international experiences that cultivated my undying "I am a Citizen of the World" spirit. This strong foundation provided me with the confidence and intellectual muscle to learn Chinese and Gurumukhi. I traveled and taught in China. I've received an M.A. in East Asian Languages and Cultures from Columbia University. I am a creative writer, a musician, a mother, and a KRI Certified instructor of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. Life is a rich and joyous affair! Beloit is an alma mater to whom I humbly offer my infinite gratitude and my most enthusiastic recommendation to new students choosing where to go to college. Beloit is an excellent choice. You will never regret it.

Beloit gave me the confidence to be myself and expand my horizons. The intelligent, warm, and fun classmates and professors embraced me as my dorky inquisitive self. With my new found self confidence I was able to go on an exchange program in Hong Kong, have a radio show for 6 semesters, and design and curate an exhibit at the Beloit Historical Society. It was at Beloit where I truly discovered my passion for museum collections work. Now I'm finishing up a contract position as an archivist for a small town and I will be attending George Washington University for a Masters in Museum Studies this fall.
Chris - Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic
I wanted a small liberal arts experience so that I would not be taught by grad students working as TAs. I also wanted to compete in sports as a distance runner. Beloit added a great international studies component into the mix... I studied philosophy and German, afterwards got my M.A. and Ph.D. and now teach at a university in Europe. The great profs dedicated primarily to inspirational teaching and quality mentoring rather than research made my learning experience successful and prepared me for my academic career. (Additionally, I have great memories running cross country & track)
Jill - Hudson, MA
As a Rotary International Exchange Student living in Kurume, Japan in 1976 I met a Beloit College alum named Richard Lyons studying there, I seem to recall, on a Fulbright Fellowship. His willingness to share his experience with me made a lasting impression above and beyond the admissions process. It was a chance meeting that indeed changed my life. Thirty-seven years later, I am still grateful for the meeting and the inspiration it provided me - a Beloit College education really can take you anywhere.
Deborah - Widnes, England
There are no guarantees in life regarding employment or health. Having faced challenges and obstacles in both these areas, I know that the holistic and attentive Beloit education I received fostered in me the ability to face each difficulty from numerous thoughtful angles (one method didn't work? Try another), resilience, and with an abiding sense of mirthful curiosity; Cancer and occasional unemployment cannot survive against such fundamental qualities in my Beloit-honed nature. Thanks, Beloit.
Emily - San Luis Obispo, CA
People give me a confusing look when they find out my degree is in Rhetoric and Discourse, but then they realize it was a perfect fit - now I'm a recruiter/headhunter for a software company and use the persuasion, analysis, logic, and writing skills on a daily basis. I attribute the other half of my Beloit success from working in Admissions all 4 years - I learned how to promote what I believe in and love!
Lu - Newton, MA
Beloit warmed me three times in my life. I entered as a 17-yr-old, a member of the Class of 1988, having chosen Beloit because I wanted something different from the private high school I attended in the East. I was thrilled by the culture change, but should have taken a year off. Even as I went down in flames, Beloit embraced me. I returned a decade later after "trying out" many other schools around the country. I could fully appreciate Beloit's compassionate rigor, and was challenged and supported towards my degree, graduating in 1998. When my stepdaughter entered Beloit and was assigned my same first-year room, I felt again its quirky embrace. Her experience as a member of the Class of 2008 confirmed Beloit's place in my heart and mind. This history gave me an intimate eye into how Beloit has changed, yet stayed the same in the most important ways: it is an inclusive, welcoming place that supports exploration and growth. Its graduates are independent and innovative thinkers.
Robert - Brown Deer, WI
I remember finding myself while Rushing TKE. Though I didn't always agree with the men who became my brothers, I knew that they always had my back and I theirs. I remember all the TKE's helping our brother propose to his then girlfriend. Thirty gentlemen, walking into the an office, each of us with a rose, handing her a rose until finally our brother Rob was left. Of course she said yes.
Crystal - Somerville, Massachusetts
Beloit expanded my worldview and my sense of what's possible. My anthropology and sociology classes and studying abroad in Nicaragua and Uganda especially encouraged me to think about my responsibilities as a citizen of the world. Serving in leadership positions--such as a student body officer, Resident Assistant, and an intern for Tammy Baldwin--challenged me to think about what role I wanted to play in society. Now, thanks to the opportunities I had at Beloit, I'm at Harvard getting my Master of Divinity to be a Unitarian Universalist minister & moral leader
Natalie - Grafton, WI
I just felt welcomed from the moment I stepped onto campus. It was POURING rain and we were running from building to building...but even the rain wouldn't stop me from seeing the beauty of campus! Students and faculty and staff all had a word of hello and a smile. Why would you NOT choose BEL-WAH!?!
Sophia - Vancouver, WA
I hated the college search! I didn't know what I wanted to do as a career or even how to get started! I applied to various Midwest division III schools and ended up visiting Ripon and Beloit. While I had fun at Ripon, food poisoning dulled the experience of my first college visit. A few weeks later, I visited Beloit and had a blast! I had an awesome host, met the man who is now my husband, played frisbee golf, had a snowball fight by the Wall, and enjoyed the classes I sat in on. I returned again a few months later and had a. Repeat experience - I was sold! Beloit was the place for me. I ended up majoring in Anthropology (Beloit has a great Anthro dept), and minoring in Ancient Mediterranean Studies (another awesome department), and. Spent a great deal of time at the pool as a student-athlete. Good luck to those of you still searching - it all comes together in the end!
Mackenzie - Beloit, Wisconsin
Currently, I am studying abroad at the London School of Economics and taking the opportunity to travel Europe.
Susie - London, UK
My time at Beloit made me more confident in my ability to learn new things in the post-college world, but for fun and for work...not that those things are mutually exclusive.
John - Catskill, New York
Beloit College educated me. It did not prepare me for my vocation directly, but by indirection--more persuasive, more lasting. At an age when many of my peers have retired, I remain a student, thanks to Beloit.
Fran - Minneapolis, MN
I have run my own business for 25 years. It is completely unique and built around the talents and skills that were nurtured and developed at Beloit. I hold Beloit College in the highest regard, especially after being disappointed by "name" and Ivy schools I later attended, expecting something fabulous. Nothing held a candle to the critical,rigorous and challenging classroom environment of Beloit.
D. Roger - Mentor, OH
I was fortunate to be able to know my teachers and the administration well. We could interact over a cup of coffee several times a month. Beloit gave me a opportunities to build my social skills, my communications skills, and to build a sense of myself both spiritually and psychologically. An excellent experience that I'd wish for everyone!
Jean - Gilford, NH
My daughter recently transferred to Beloit as a sophomore. Stepping onto campus that first day we received a welcome like no other. Thank you Belioters for your welcoming smiles!
Jan - Vermillion, SD
I have always been grateful for my opportunity to attend Beloit. My experiences there have remained with me more than 50 years later and I have used my liberal arts education in various aspects of my life from laboratory researcher to stay-at-home mom to university administrator. Thank you Beloit faculty and fellow students!
Amani - Novosibirsk, Russia
I came from Atlanta, GA to Beloit in 2008 wanting only two things: to study Chinese and play sports. By my senior, I was studying Chinese and Russian, playing sports. I am now in Novosibirsk, Russia on the Fulbright Program teaching English and will attend graduate school when I return to the US. I would have never thought I'd be here. I give Beloit College faculty and staff credit for getting to where I am today and I mention the college everywhere I go.
Ian - Washington, DC
I have witnessed many Beloit students come as shy individuals, looking for their place in the world. At the end of four years, they leave with a strong conscience, and the willpower to tackle the challenging things in life that most will not touch. Seeing that in my peers became one of the best rewards of attending Beloit College.
Brian - Phoenix, Arizona
Beloit College taught me how to act and reflect, and in doing so, turn every interaction and experience into a teachable moment. It's this gift, plus the writing, research, and communication skills, self-awareness, and plethora of practical experience via study abroad, internships, and on-campus leadership roles that gives me the confidence that I can adapt to and ethically approach the complex problems of my community and this dynamic world.
Kenny - Dorchester, Massachusetts
From the discussions held to the lessons learned, Beloit changed my life. I arrived as a listless teenager and left a socially conscious, civically engaged young man. No matter where life takes me, I know that I will always be able to return to Belwah and feel at home.
Judith - Champaign, IL
When I came to Beloit I didn't know I could do anything; when I left I knew that I could. I learned two important building blocks of a successful life/career: how to think and how to learn. I was an anthropology major, but never worked in my field; but I always felt I could do whatever I wanted. I had a very successful career and am now enjoying an equally successful retirement. I always felt a commitment to give back--to my colleagues, those who came after me, to my community, and to Beloit. I have given something to Beloit EVERY year since I graduated. Class of 1969--and PROUD of it! GO TURTLES! (I even have a Beloit turtle tattooed on my forearm.)
Emily - St. Paul, MN
I met my husband Nick Stuber as a first year student living in Aldrich. We both talk often about how wonderful of a place Beloit was, both for our own relationship and the learning and growing that we did as individuals. Beloit challenges you to think outside the box and provides a supportive atmosphere where you can try new things. I credit Beloit with providing me with a strong academic foundation for graduate work and successful career and an amazing group of friends for life!
Adam - Tempe, Arizona
I graduated in 2005 with a degree in biology. Ken Yasukawa and John Jungck were the best professors a student could ask for. My experiences there as a student athlete were awesome. I played football and ran track. I was fortunate enough to be a Howard Hughes Scholar and a Sanger Scholar during two of my summers as an undergrad. Following graduation, I worked for the government, coached collegiate football, got my masters degree and just got married. Thanks Beloit for making the college experience so memorable!
Frances - Breckenridge, Colorado
Over the years I have heard people bash the cataclysm that was the 1960's. During those tumultuous times, through "the Beloit Plan" we were given innovative opportunities to gain life experience and integrate our studies with cultural realities. I continue to feel proud when I read the alumni notes from those classes, and hear the varieties of service in which we continue to be involved. Keep the innovations coming!
Dawn - Woodbridge, VA
My time at Beloit was amazing and prepared me for the rich and unexpected twists life sends. After running an analytical chemistry lab, I now find myself as a Family Practice physician, officer in the US Army, wife, and mother of 3. My liberal arts background has opened so many doors.
Gary - Arlington, VA
Beloit College's impact on my life can be summed up succinctly: I would not be where I am today had I never been a student there. The skills I rely upon to do my job, which entails tax policy analysis for congressional staff and Members of Congress, can be traced back to the research, writing, and critical thinking fostered by many of the courses I took at Beloit. I met the woman I was married to for nearly 35 years and who is the mother of my children through Beloit. And my love of learning, deep-seated desire to make the world a better place for everyone, and ongoing quest for personal growth and fulfillment all took root and began to blossom during my days as a Beloit student. For these blessings and others too numerous to mention, I give thanks. May Beloit College continue to serve as an innovative vehicle for the education, moral awakening, and personal growth and development of students for generations to come.
Ashley - Columbia, MO
My experiences at Beloit will remain in my heart forever. Beloit opened my eyes to a world of possibility and helped me find and reach my dreams. I endorse Beloit to all who will listen to me, wherever I go. I am now a 3rd year graduate student in a PhD program at the University of Missouri. I would not be here today, without Beloit. I loved my experience at Beloit so much, that I decided I wanted to be apart of a Liberal Arts environment for the rest of my life, hence graduate school to become a professor at a Liberal Arts institute.
Connie - Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Coming from the East Coast originally, Beloit truly changed my life. I was able to develop incredible leadership skills, learn in a completely different way, and make friendships and connections that will last. I thank Beloit and my double major every day for changing my perspective not only on the world but on myself.
Paige - Columbia, MO
Beloit was the school that made me happy that I'd attended college. The programs in the arts and the history of the place were a gift I hope to keep sharing.
Veronica - Cazenovia, New York
I graduated in 2002 w a double major in Rhetoric & Discourse and Sociology. I currently am the Head Cheesemaker for a small artisan sheep dairy in NY. People ask me all the time what my degrees have to with farming and cheesemaking. I point out to them that farming in the 21st century is a combination of chemistry, biology, economics, marketing, politics (local, state and federal) and logistics. In essence- it is the foundation of a liberal arts education- a little bit of everything. While I learned specific disciplines- the most important thing I took away from Beloit was critical thinking- essential for running a small scale agricultural enterprise in a global landscape!
Jan - Cottonwood, Arizona
My four years totally prepared me for life. I owe most of my success in life and my career to my liberal arts education. I will always be a loyal Beloit alum.
Karin - Mountain View, CA
I was asked at two different med school interviews if it was true that I could "walk on water". The varied experiences at Beloit gave me the confidence (coupled with a dose of humility) to fulfill my dream of completing an Emergency Medicine residency at Stanford University. I just had a Beloit grad Nicholas O'Block work an overnight shift with me the other night! Small world! Beloit also taught me the incredible value of team work.

Xiomara - Quepos, Puntarenas, Costa Rica
Studying abroad improved my life and understanding of world views, and struggles. I was very fortunate to go to Beloit College, and I will always be thankful for the learning in the classrooms and outdoors the professors and administrators ensured we received. What an incredible experience it was!
Li - Los Angeles, California
I totally enjoyed my education at Beloit! When I was talking to my friends in law school about our college experiences, I always felt that my Beloit experience was unique and transforming. The academic rigor, the breadth and depth of knowledge I learned, the wide-ranging opportunities offered will all benefit me throughout my life. The spirit of liberal arts is the best thing at Beloit College!
Emily - South Thomaston, Maine
Beloit helped me discover the world and my own mind. My time at Beloit made me a better person--more adaptable, smarter and more adventurous.
Clare - St. Louis, MO
I am appreciating my Beloit education more than ever as I prepare for a leadership role coordinating volunteer efforts in Hurricane Sandy response in New Jersey. I've heard that a political science and philosophy double major wouldn't get me anywhere, but the problem solving, communications, and creative thinking I learned at Beloit are eminently applicable in the structure-less disaster-response environment!
Charmen - Kingston, Jamaica
My son got the opportunity to shine; at Beloit he found professors,coaches and other members of staff who gave him all the support he needed. Thanks to Beloit. There is absolutely no other college like Beloit College, THE VERY BEST!!
Jason - Beloit, Wisconsin
I'm amazed and inspired daily by the work of our students and faculty. A Beloiter by choice, I give in the hopes that my small contribution can assist them in their work and plans.
Meg - Carrboro, NC
I'm about to finish my PhD in anthropology at UNC-Chapel Hill. Despite being 8 years out from my time at Beloit, as I write my cover letters for academic jobs around the country, I find myself relying on the Beloit model of teaching and student-centered research when describing the type of professor I will be. This experience is making me realize just how much my Beloit education will stick with me throughout a lifelong academic career!
Kristi - Munich, Germany
My father was one of Beloit's first foreign students (Norwegian), and he and my mother met at Beloit. As a girl, I couldn't imagine going to college anywhere else than there. My time was a most meaningful and life-forming experience, which I carried with me to graduate school and which has always been an integral part of my adult life. Beloit is a most wonderful place to study, explore and make life-long friends!!
Lisa - Warrenville, Illinois
My daughter was transformed by her Beloit experience. Now in grad school studying creative writing, Beloit gave her the personal interaction with professors she needed to soar, opening up new dreams and possibilities for her. Turtles... all the way down!

(PHOENIX) — The Arizona Lottery has confirmed that the winning ticket has been claimed for half of the $587.5 million jackpot, which has remained a mystery for weeks.
The winning numbers were drawn on Nov. 28 for the largest jackpot ever, after rolling 16 consecutive times without a winner.
The $587.5 million jackpot is the largest in Powerball history, with a cash option of $384.7 million before taxes.
The Arizona Lottery will hold a press conference on Friday afternoon, though the winner has declined to participate. Lottery officials said the winner in Arizona has chosen the cash option and will receive $192 million, before taxes, rather than a larger payout over 30 years.
The previous record Powerball jackpot — $365 million — was won in 2006 by eight co-workers in Lincoln, Neb.
Arizona lottery officials previously said the ticket was purchased at a Four Sons Food Store in Fountain Hills, Ariz. and was part of a $10 Quick Pick ticket.
The winning numbers for the jackpot were 5, 23, 16, 22 and 29. The Powerball was 6.
Mark and Cindy Hill of Dearborn, Mo. claimed the first half of the jackpot on Nov. 30. The Hills chose to take home about $193 million in a lump-sum cash payment.

ROCHESTER — Two Farmington women were arraigned Tuesday in Rochester Circuit Court on 13 combined counts of animal cruelty. They both entered pleas of not guilty to the Class A misdemeanor charges.
In early September, Shirley M. Patch, 59, of 576 Chestnut Hill Road, Farmington, was arrested and charged with 12 misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty, for the condition of 12 animals found on her property — there were five horses in her care, as well as one miniature horse, one pony, two goats, two dogs and two chickens. All were found malnourished and in varying degrees of health.
Caroline Wilkins, 40, of the same address, was arrested and charged for one count of animal cruelty for her treatment of Dolly, a 32-year-old Chestnut horse found lame on her front two legs. She weighed less than half of her normal size, with her rib cage visibly sticking out through her dull coat.
All of the seized animals are currently undergoing rehabilitation with the New Hampshire Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NHSPCA) in Stratham.
Following the hearing, Patch told Foster's her situation was inaccurately portrayed and her story was "turned around."
"All I have to say is, I love my animals," she said, "and everybody knows that."
In court Tuesday morning, Patch revealed she is still caring for two additional dogs — though one dog recently had to be "put to sleep," she said — as well as one cat, three mice, one rooster and five chickens.
Cappiello ordered, in addition to Patch and Wilkins' standing personal recognizance bail conditions, the two women also not care for any additional animals, other than the ones currently in custody with the NHSPCA. He has also added a caveat that the women not visit those animals.
Wilkins told the court she is also caring for three dogs now as well, at the Chestnut Hill property.
Following the arraignment, the two women stood outside the court clerk's office, seeking to file for a public defender in lieu of hiring a private attorney. Wilkins told Foster's she would decline to comment on the court proceedings.
Another hearing is scheduled for both women on Jan. 4, 2013, in Rochester Circuit Court. Patch continues to be released on $5,000 personal recognizance bail. Wilkins is out on $2,500.
Farmington Police Chief Kevin Willey previously told Foster's he does not believe the women intentionally meant to harm their animals, stating it appeared they did not have the "resources or capabilities" to care for them properly around the time of the arrests.
NHSPCA Executive Director Lisa Dennison previously told Foster's two of the rescued horses under the care of Patch — Dell, a white horse in her mid-20s, and Tonka, the horse's 4-year-old colt — were taken into protective custody by the NHSPCA back in January 2010, too.
The matter was brought originally to the police's attention by the former owner of Dolly. Shannon Donovan, of Milton Mills, is the same teenager who underwent a devastating event with another one of her horses earlier this year. She previously told Foster's she reported Wilkins and Patch when she saw the condition their animals were living in at the Farmington property.
Donovan lost her beloved quarter horse, Blue, the companion of Dolly, in an alleged hit-and-run last January. The driver — Sanbornville resident Lincoln Geist who was 85 at the time — reportedly struck and killed Blue and also injured Donovan's best friend who was riding him at the time.
Donovan told Foster's she thought Wilkins could provide Dolly with the care she required after she couldn't afford to keep her any longer, so she gave her the elderly Chestnut horse. Today, she is working with the NHSPCA to get Dolly back, or to provide a suitable owner for her, depending on what her finances allow, she said.

Drones - "Burnt Stitches"
This song will be available via free download on Soundcloud on its release date, Nov 14th. Recording filmed at Spiral Studios, Guildford.
Band Bio:
Drones are a socially and politically aware punk band hailing from Surrey. Formed in early 2010, the band was spawned from the need of a decent music scene in their hometown, as well as need to make music that was lyrically conscious. Fed up of bands that sing about getting girls and nice haircuts, Drones' songs address social and political issues that are all too often overlooked in music today. The group's infl uences derive from the likes of Rancid, Anti-Flag, The Clash, Rise Against, NOFX, Gallows and The Distillers. Fast-forward to summer 2011 and the band had signed with Lockjaw Records to release their debut album 'Mutiny', now available at HMV, iTunes and Amazon. With the album's two music videos 'Shells Fall Pins Pulled' and 'Assassins Of Youth' each receiving thousands of views online, and a number of succesful tours promoting the record, Drones are set to pave the way for contemporary UK punkrock.

WASHINGTON — Finally unburdened by worries about running for another election, President Obama is acting different these days.
Second-term Obama is noticeably quicker to speak his mind and get personal on subjects he once avoided. His schedule at times ignores concerns about "optics," Washington-speak for what voters might perceive.
On Friday, for example, the president delivered an unexpectedly personal, and at times off-the-cuff, speech in Chicago about the root causes of urban violence. The famously reserved president spoke bluntly about the Kenyan-born father whom he barely knew, and his wayward high school days in Hawaii.
"I wish I had had a father who was around and involved," he said.
In the past, Obama typically wove the uplifting version of his personal narrative — raised by a single mother, loved by doting grandparents — into his campaign message. He rarely admitted to having "issues," as he did in Chicago.

With car culture and wasteful packaging all over the United States it is hard to think of our country in its entirety as a "Green" nation. Although we are making active steps to catch up with Global environmental leaders, we are far behind. Huffington Post recently released a list of the "Top 10 Greenest Countries in the World." And to no one's surprise the United States did not make the cut. Instead, energy and conservation leaders such as Germany, Norway, and Costa Rica comprise the list. The United States uses a ton of energy in comparison to our population and of course we consume massive amounts of oil to feed our industry and car addiction. But is there a future in the Green Economy for the United States?
A new report has been published showing that the US is currently leading in installed wind power production. In 2009, the United States added 9.9 gigawatts of wind power bringing the US total to 35.2 gigawatts. This pulled the US ahead of Germany, at least for now. As Obama mentioned in his State of the Union, China is really pushing ahead with renewable energy and in 2009 they doubled their wind power capacity and added 13 gigawatts. China is now in the 3rd place position for installed wind power, following Germany and the United States.
All this talk of racing with China, feels a tad reminiscent of the Space Race of the Cold War. I get it, the USA wants to be number 1 at everything and if that is the motivation behind greening the US of A, I'll stand behind it. But really, even if our nation may have invented some of these technologies we should be learning from our friends all over the world. I mean just one quick glance at the 10 Most Green Countries, you can see why we didn't make the list. Other countries have invested mass amounts of money into solar panels and pollution control methods.
So what is the US doing wrong here? For the past few decades we have ignored the energy crisis and figured out ways or wars of getting more oil in our hands. Even if we have fallen behind in a new green economy, now is the time to reconsider our energy use. Articles about the US increasing wind production are incredibly encouraging, but there needs to be more change or we really will far even farther behind much of the world. And at this point, beyond competition for being a world leader, we can not afford it. So what can you do about it? Contact your local officials (State officials are easier and perhaps more efficient than Federal) and use your money ethically. Support companies that make an extra effort to produce by environmentally friendly means! Things aren't going to change on their own, it is time we started pushing our government and country into the Green Zone.

I find smelling the beer before I taste really helps pick out flavors. It's also easier to pick out aromas and flavors from warmer beer, so letting your beer warm up will help pick out flavors and aromas that should be there as well as flaws.
It helps to know the limitations of your own palate and how to work around them. I used to be unable to smell or taste diacetyl, so I had to get it from the slick mouthfeel. Through practice, I eventually learned to perceive both the aroma and flavor of diacetyl.Oxidation is another one. I never get papery/cardboardy. What I get is a honey-like or overly caramely character. Either that or a sensation I think of as (but would never write on a scoresheet as) "tin can". Don't let other people's descriptors limit your observations.Learn how you perceive by correlating those perceptions with what you already know about the beer.

Video Baluns / Transmission > Nitek VH839M - 8 Port Video Balun Hub RJ45
8 port video balun hubs with built-in surge suppression. Systems operate with other Nitek UTP video equipment including, video balun hubs, standard video balun transceivers or active receivers. These units feature RJ45 jack connections for quick and reliable connections.
The VH839 video balun hubs are multi-channel video transmission devices that provide a low cost means of sending quality live video over Category UTP cabling. The systems can also adapt to existing communication and computer network spare pairs, or new cable installations. The VH839 can send video up to 750 feet (225 meters) when used with other products in the VB37 or VB39 family. When used with model TR515 or TR560 active receivers, distances of 1,500 feet (450 meters) and 3,000 feet, (900 meters), respectively, can be attained. The VH839 is designed to provide superior immunity from noise and interference, such as RFI and EMI.
Wire and Cable Recommendations
Twisted Sender is recommended for use with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wiring. The systems will operate over wire gauges from 26 AWG through 12 AWG but are optimized for 24 AWG. Category cabling may be used. Individually shielded pairs should be avoided as they drastically reduce the operating range of the systems. Multi-pair cable with an overall shield is acceptable. Video can be operated in the same communication cable coexistent with telephone, computer, control signals, power voltages and other video signals. While video may be routed through telephone punch-down block terminals, any bridge-taps, also called T-taps and any resistive, capacitive or inductive devices MUST BE removed from the pair.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23 (UPI) -- Kevin Durant scored 32 points Tuesday and led the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 107-97 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Durant was 5-of-6 from the field and scored 13 points in the fourth quarter in the victory, which improved the Thunder's NBA-best record to 33-9.
Russell Westbrook added 26 points and six assists to the Thunder offense. Serge Ibaka contributed 17 points and nine rebounds.
The Clippers played without point guard Chris Paul for the fourth time in six games due to Paul's ailing right knee. Blake Griffin picked up the slack with 31 points and Jamal Crawford added 14.
The Thunder led 49-47 at halftime and began the third quarter with a 13-4 run. They outscored Los Angeles by 10 points in the period and built up a cushion that enabled them to withstand a fourth quarter in which they were outscored 29-27.

Sneeje's Favorite Techdirt Posts Of The Week
from the righthaven--schadenfreude dept
So, to stay sane, that's another thing I look for: hope—that those responsible for resolving the complex interplay between government power and our rights will at least consider that limits to government power are valid and necessary. For example the article that came out Thursday, where the court is exploring whether there are limits to border searches: Court Suggests Politically Motivated Border Searches May Be Unconstitutional. If nothing else, that one had a lot of great advice on how to protect your data from the government should you foolishly decide to cross the border carrying your laptop.
Another good article in this area, while not strictly relating to limits of governmental power, Why Infringement Isn't Theft, should lead people to question the government's reasoning behind why it is willing to act on behalf of intellectual property advocates, which would be a limit in and of itself. Seeing such a prominent law professor take this stance certainly falls under the category of "hope", at least for me.
But perhaps the greatest reason I'm drawn to Techdirt is the gobs of articles that undermine widely- and blindly-held beliefs in the intellectual property arena, that challenge the "IP laws=good so more must be better" thinking and explore the unintended consequences of their existence. The first of these addresses one of the areas that most people have very little exposure to, the decision-making behind the scenes in the VC World. Anyone that is a student of economics knows that monopolies carry a lot of baggage and barriers to entry for startups, but this was the first time I thought about how those barriers were perceived. Monopolies Can Strangle Innovation shows us that the "tax" on success is a very real phenomenon.
Mike also pointed us to Jonathan Coulton to show us yet again that not all artists are looking to intellectual property protection to ensure their success. My favorite quote from Jonathan speaking about a free and open internet: "... if as a consequence of letting that do what it wants, we destroy a number of industries, including the record business, and maybe even including the rock star business, I think that humanity will be better off." Now there's a man that can see the big picture.
The next article that really struck me (and others too, judging by the volume of the comments) regarding these unintended consequences was Patents Threaten To Silence A Little Girl. I think that most people believe that patents, copyright, and trademarks are the province of the business world only and do not affect the average person in their daily life. That article is a perfect example of how that's just not true--and the more restrictive the laws around intellectual property get, it's not hard to see how much more collateral damage there will be.
I'll close with a confession. There is something else that I sometimes look for in my weekly Techdirt feed: schadenfreude. Yeah, I said it. I can't help but enjoy the unfolding implosion that is Righthaven, and this week we got two doses, Righthaven Stops Showing up to Court and Righthaven's CEO Files Statement About How Righthaven's Own Lawyer Won't Respond To Him. A little piece of me will die when Righthaven stops being worthy of coverage here, but I'm sure something else of even greater face-palmage will arise. So with that, here's to the next week!

ATLANTA Even though the weather was poor, Home Depot (HD) posted an 18 percent increase in its net income for the first quarter thanks to the ongoing housing recovery.
Its quarterly results topped Wall Street's view and the world's biggest home improvement chain boosted its full-year earnings and revenue forecasts Tuesday.
Shares climbed 4 percent in premarket trading.
For the three months ended May 5, Home Depot Inc. earned $1.23 billion, or 83 cents per share. That's up from $1.04 billion, or 68 cents per share, a year earlier. Analysts predicted earnings of 76 cents per share, according to a FactSet survey.
"In the first quarter, we saw less favorable weather compared to last year, but we continue to see benefit from a recovering housing market that drove a stronger-than-expected start to the year for our business," Chairman and CEO Frank Blake said in a statement.
Revenue for the Atlanta company rose 7 percent to $19.12 billion from $17.81 billion. Wall Street expected $18.62 billion.
Revenue at stores open at least a year, a key gauge of a retailer's health, climbed 4.3 percent. This figure excludes results from stores recently opened or closed.
The chain anticipates fiscal 2013 earnings of $3.52 per share, with revenue up about 2.8 percent. Its prior guidance was for earnings of $3.37 per share, with revenue rising about 2 percent. The revised outlook implies revenue of $76.83 billion, based on 2012's $74.75 billion.
Analysts expect full-year earnings of $3.54 per share on revenue of $76.98 billion.
Home Depot had 2,257 stores in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, 10 Canadian provinces and Mexico at the first quarter's end.

3 stars (out of 4)
Beyonce surprised even her most ardent followers a few days ago by releasing her fifth studio album, "Beyonce" (Columbia), in one giant package on iTunes. The 14 songs and 17 videos comprise a "visual album," the trump card in a year dominated by nontraditional and secretive marketing campaigns by major artists: Kanye West's worldwide building-sized video projections; Justin Timberlake's two albums after six years of silence; David Bowie's stealthy comeback; the album-as-android-app by Beyonce's husband, Jay Z.
The outpouring of double-take delight and praise in social media was instant, and "Beyonce" sold 80,000 copies in the first three hours of its availability early Friday. Much of the excitement stemmed from the notion that a superstar singer, one who had sold more than 100 million records and won 17 Grammy Awards, had released an album without hitting the usual promotional marks: radio airplay, major promotional tour, national television appearances, high-profile interviews.
On the contrary, Beyonce headlined the Super Bowl halftime in February and a national arena tour without any hint of a follow-up to her previous solo album, "4" (2011). Then came the on-line deluge, "the shock heard around the world," according to Billboard editor Bill Werde.
But in an era of innovative album roll-outs, are fans, critics and industry wonks more excited about delivery methods than the actual music being delivered? Undoubtedly. But set aside the tech buzz and the music also holds up well. Beyonce reportedly scrapped a near-finished album earlier this year because she didn't think it was strong enough. Such news usually suggests paralyzing indecision or deeper problems, and rarely turns out well for the artist. But in the case of Beyonce, it appears she really did aim to rethink her entire approach.
"Beyonce" is her most unconventional album, which may come as dismaying news to fans who loved the immediacy of such Beyonce singles as "Crazy in Love," "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" and the sublime "Irreplaceable." Nothing on the new album is nearly as catchy as any of those No. 1 hits, but it also brims with music that feels surprising and unstable, and some of Beyonce's most unguarded and daring singing – from the gospel overtones of "Heaven" to the relaxed, jazzy flow of "Mine." The big topic – sex any old place Beyonce wants it, whether in the back of a limousine or underneath an Andy Warhol painting in her home – isn't particularly new or inspiring, but the musical settings feel fresher and more off-the-cuff than just about anything she's done.
When Beyonce plays it safe, things stall. Two high-profile cameos in particular fall short. Drake's long closing rap hijacks "Mine" and turns it into a six-minute slog. On the frisky reverie, "Drunk in Love," Jay Z compares his relationship with Beyonce to Ike and Tina Turner's. Really? So much for female empowerment. The predictable Ryan Tedder production on "XO" builds from jittery keyboards to an audience-appreciation sing-along that sounds like it was designed for an arena encore. "Blue" will please those eager to hear about how deeply Beyonce loves her child, but it never transcends its mawkish sentiment.
But when Beyonce puts those production dollars and her top-shelf collaborators to work – everyone from Frank Ocean and Miguel to video director Hype Williams and actor Harvey Keitel – she delivers A-list pop with a twist. The projects multi-media promise blooms on the opening "Pretty Hurts," a soaring critique of the beauty industry that is enhanced by its troubling video. It depicts a beauty pageant contestant (Beyonce!) as not quite beautiful enough in a world that focuses on a woman's flaws, and drives her into pill-popping self-abuse. "Strip away the masquerade," Beyonce demands.
"Ghost/Haunted" suggests a two-part dream with its murky keyboards and creeping bass line. Beyonce's recessed, reverbed vocals emerge from this vaporous backdrop with a sarcastic wink: "Sold not for sale/Probably won't make no money off this, oh well."
"Blow" (with significant contributions from Pharrell Williams and Justin Timberlake) opens with Beyonce as a jazz chanteuse in swan mode over sparse piano chords, then shifts into a swinging electro-funk groove that evokes Jimmy Jam's work with Janet Jackson in her '80s prime. As discursive as "Blow" is insistent, the melody of "No Angel" slinks over a minimalist beat and takes its time introducing a subtle counterpoint bass line, while Beyonce sings at the very top of her range, her voice threatening to fray. "Underneath the pretty face is something complicated," she informs her roguish lover. "I come with a side of trouble."
"Partition" finds Beyonce credibly rapping over an Eastern rhythm as if paying homage to M.I.A., and it works. Just as steamy is the slow-burning "Rocket," which acknowledges another obvious influence, D'Angelo, as Beyonce's voice turns into a lust-saturated choir.
Throughout, the singer demands to be treated as an equal in the boardroom and the bedroom, a woman who gets fierce whenever she's taken for granted ("Jealous") and positively smolders when feeling the strength of a true union (the marvelously understated duet with Ocean, "Superpower"). Best of all is "Flawless"; in the video, Beyonce dances to a hard hip-hop rhythm like a flannel-shirted punk-rocker while the soothing voice of Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie discourses on the limitations imposed on young women: "We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, 'You can have ambition, but not too much.'" If you are too successful "you threaten the man." The merger of trap beats, punk defiance and feminist theory may not be destined for the top 10, but boldness like this can't be measured by chart positions.

Not all entrepreneurs are born leaders. Some may just be people with great ideas who were thrust into leadership positions when they launched their own company.
But people who aren't extroverts can still be strong leaders. In fact, introverts may have some leadership characteristics that can make them very successful, like the ability to see projects through to completion, let others shine and let results speak for themselves.
Regardless of what type of leader you are, consider taking a personality test like the Myers-Briggs. Your type may include classifications like intuition, thinking and judging that could make for great leadership traits.
Surround yourself with people who complement your strengths (a must for any leader). Author Les McKeown says the best introverted leaders focus on accomplishing one important goal at a time. That kind of "serial success" may not be a great fit for organizations that are easily distracted, but you can always delegate the latest request to someone you trust so you don't get distracted. It's exactly that kind of focus, like long-term brand-building, that delivers results.
It may be the brash CEOs who grab all the media attention, but there's plenty of room for quiet leaders who deliver real results.
Adapted from Leadership for Introverts by Joe Taylor at Small Business Computing.

Travesty: Supreme Court (And Senate) Deny SCOTUSblog A Press Pass
from the shameful dept
And yet... the Supreme Court has denied SCOTUSblog's request for a press pass based on a stupidly convoluted system for which the Senate is partly to blame as well. According to SCOTUSblog:
SCOTUSblog is not now, and has never been, credentialed by the Supreme Court. The Court's longstanding policy was to look to credentials issued by the Senate. We pursued a Senate credential for several years, modifying several policies of the blog to address concerns expressed by the Gallery. Last year, we finally succeeded – the Senate Press Gallery credentialed Lyle as a reporter for SCOTUSblog. We then presented that credential to the Supreme Court, thinking that the issue was resolved.This is complicated further by the fact that the Senate Press Gallery has now rejected SCOTUSblog's request for a press pass, and also told the blog it will not renew Lyle's press pass -- thereby cutting off the blog to both the Senate and the Court. SCOTUSblog's Tom Goldstein does note that the Supreme Court itself has actually tried to accommodate the blog's requests for public seats, despite not agreeing to give it a press pass. The situation is clearly ridiculous:
But the Court declined to recognize the credential, explaining that it would instead review its credentialing policy. The Court has not indicated when that review will conclude.
All that said, the Senate Press Gallery's decision to deny us a credential is important to us. We wanted the credential in substantial part because we cover Supreme Court-related matters in the Senate. Most significantly, we do gavel-to-gavel, liveblog coverage of Supreme Court nominations. We also expect to cover hearings related to the Court's budget. So those efforts are now more difficult.I don't think "strange" is the right word. Shameful works better. Stupid would apply as well.
So we plan to appeal the Senate Gallery's credentialing decision. We do not have a written list of the reasons for the denial, which makes the process more difficult. Our impression is also that the appeal may go to the same group that denied the application in the first place. If the appeal is denied, then we expect to litigate the issue. We're now coordinating all those efforts with other groups that kindly have offered to support us.
All in all, the refusal by the Court and the Senate to credential us have always seemed strange. No one seems to doubt that we are a journalistic entity and that we serve a public function. Winning the Peabody and other awards would seem to confirm that. And the Court for years has functionally recognized us, because obviously the overwhelming majority of Lyle's work is for us. We do not want any kind of special treatment. Credentialing the blog doesn't give us any special power or recognition; it just makes our jobs incrementally easier. All in all, it doesn't seem to make sense to impose burdens on us that are greater than those that apply to others who fundamentally do the same thing.

Nate Wara's (So. • Oshkosh) four touchdown passes led UW-Oshkosh to its highest score in 29 games as the Titans posted a 43-15 victory over UW-River Falls on Saturday (Sept. 25) in River Falls. The contest was the WIAC opener for both teams.
UW-Oshkosh (1-2/1-0 WIAC) hadn't tallied this many points since a 62-7 triumph over Lakeland College in 2007. The convincing win was a rarity in this series, with the Titans taking the last three meetings against the Falcons by a total of six points. UW-Oshkosh also had captured its last five conference victories by a combined 11 points.
Jeremy Roach (Sr. • Deerfield) tallied his team's first two scores as the Titans posted touchdowns on their opening four possessions.
Wara, who averaged more than 17 yards per completion, converted three third downs with his legs on UW-Oshkosh's first drive. He also hooked up with Craig McClelland (Sr. • Union Grove) and Juston Wara (Sr. • Oshkosh) for gains of nine yards to set up a score. Roach capped the 83-yard drive with a catch from 32 yards out to take a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter.
UW-River Falls (0-4/0-1 WIAC) came right back with a 16-play possession to tie the score. Taylor Edwards, the league's leading rusher, carried the load and scored on fourth-and-goal from one yard out. The march was kept alive by a Titan personal foul and a 16-yard run from Greg Klingelhutz on third downs.
The Titans' next trip covered 61 yards and included three explosive plays. Following a 16-yard pass to Paul Coburn (Sr. • Sussex), Wara threw for 18 yards on a screen pass and tallied a 10-yard run. Roach then ran in for a six-yard touchdown early in the second period. The Falcons reached the red zone on the ensuing possession, but Ben Zill (Sr. • New Franken) blocked their field goal try.
UW-Oshkosh went ahead, 20-7, when Nate Wara connected with Juston Wara for a 20-yard touchdown three minutes before the half. The Titans weren't done yet, taking over after the Falcons lost 33 yards on a snap over the punter's head. Garrie Fox pulled in a 12-yard score two plays later to put his team up, 26-7, at intermission.
Each squad posted a long pass play during scoring drives in the third quarter. Justin Budiac (Jr. • Mukwonago) got behind the defense for 59 yards, setting up a Titan field goal. Moments later, UW-River Falls had BJ Letourneau find Matt Guertin for 49 yards. That set up Joel Yogerst, who corralled a four-yard touchdown throw to cut the deficit to 29-15 with 5:14 on the third-period clock.
The Titans just kept coming, getting a 13-yard reception from Coburn and another 13 on a Charlie Weissman (Jr. • Colgate) run. Wara's fourth and final TD toss went to Fox and covered 25 yards as UW-Oshkosh's cushion grew to 21 points.
UW-River Falls was sacked six times on the day, including Tyler Westphal's (Fr. • Menasha) forced fumble that was recovered by Luke Bingen (Sr. • Hartford) in the final quarter. Roach took advantage with a tackle-breaking, seven-yard touchdown run at the 8:54 mark. The Titans' defense stepped up later on fourth down, as Logan Heyden (Sr. • Kenosha) and Jordan Mortenson (Jr. • Iola) squashed a Falcon drive with another sack.
Nate Wara compiled 246 passing yards and didn't turn the ball over in recording a career-best for touchdowns. Four of his completions went to Fox, who marked 62 yards and two scores. Wara also ran for 45 yards, while Roach topped the ground game with 59 yards on nine attempts.
Edwards made it four straight 100-yard efforts as he racked up 128 on 27 carries. Letourneau hit on 11-of-23 passes for 104 yards as the Falcons finished with 239 yards overall. UW-River Falls was successful on 10 of its 19 third-down opportunities and possessed the football for nearly 36 minutes.
The Falcons' Lincoln Bjorklund paced all players with 10 tackles. Frank Martin (Jr. • Greenleaf) and Dan Swanson (Jr. • Pardeeville) each compiled eight stops, with Martin recording one sack. UW-Oshkosh, which also received 1.5 sacks from Andrew Thompson (So. • Greendale), finished with 420 yards on offense.
The Titans will be at home for a night contest with UW-La Crosse next Saturday (Oct. 2).

U.S. Oil Prices: Don't Call It a Comeback
The recent strength in WTI crude-oil prices reflects new pipelines, not new demand. Expect it to be short-lived, which is good news for at least one type of oil company. Heard on the Street's Liam Denning discusses. Photo: Getty Images.

... us all prices are up ... but the coal come back on Liam Denning at the dumpster ... so far this year the price of West Texas Intermediate which is the main U S benchmark crude Albright ... is up by around fourteen percent ... so does that mean that markets are getting tight and supplied the mother of balance well not really ... there is still a lot of oil out that inventories in the US is still way above ... the historical averages ... so what's going on ... the way to think about this is the shrine picture The U S as a giant funnel ... we have lots of oil coming in from the north from places like the cuts on ... Canada ... missiles slowing down to a place in Oklahoma from Cushing ... Cushing is where there are lots of storage tanks for oil and also happens to be weighing ... the Nymex crude oil contract is physically settled ... what's been happening other Lacie is ... is a loss of oil is being done in the end of the housing and see many pipelines coming south out of it to evacuated to the customer can be sold ... that's put pressure on the pricing is disconnected ... from the Brent crude price which is more of the global benchmark and so we've seen the BTI trading at discounts to Brent ... on average of around six in the seventeen dollars a barrel ... what's happened recently ... is the more pipelines the road ... so some of oil is of the killing of Cushing heading down to the Gulf countries ... where it can be refined ... this is taken pressure off the price and allowed it to rise to suppress price ... I love that it's not like it's the last time the reason is that in some ways are we doing this well in mobile phone that for another ... in this case a new bull neck ... will be the Gulf Coast refineries I can only take so much to do so well ... what sets maxed out ... the door will then have to compete with other grades of oil that those refineries use and typically ... they use cheaper grades from overseas heavier oil ... the trades at a discount to Brent of about ... eight to ten dollars a barrel ... so it's likely that some for later this year on Dexia WTI will widen out again ... because the basic problem is ... that the reasonable full of oil coming out of the U S it's a problem ... for overseas is not such a problem for refiners or indeed for consumers like us ... if you wanna read more about it ... cycle to vote on the straight ...

HASBUN H, Jorge et al. Disección aórtica tipo B y embarazo en un síndrome de Marfán: manejo y resultado. Rev. chil. obstet. ginecol. [online]. 2012, vol.77, n.2, pp.137-142. ISSN 0717-7526. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-75262012000200010.
Marfan syndrome is a multysistemic an autosomal-dominant disorder of connective tissue and cardiovascular complications determine its prognosis. We present a 32 year-old patient diagnosed five years previously after thoraco-abdominal aneurysm Standford B, and a current unplanned pregnancy. She was treated with beta blockers and evaluated with serial images of the aorta showing a stable thoraco-abdominal aneurysm initiated at the left subclavian artery to the right iliac artery of 41.8 mm at maximum diameter. The patient was hospitalized at 32 weeks to be evaluated in a multidisciplinary team planned delivery. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance on maternal spine detected dural ectasia at S2 and fetal evaluation shows growing at 20 percentile, hemodinamical wellbeing and normal echocardiography. After corticosteroids at 34 +3 weeks a cesarean section with tubal sterilization is performed, with continuous spinal anesthesia, without uterus compression and inmediate postoperative care at the Coronary Unit for 48 hours with satisfactory maternal evolution. The newborn presented a necrotizing enterocolitis at 7 days improving with medical therapy.
Palabras clave : Marfan syndrome; aortic aneurism; aortic dissection.

I know this is over a year old, but here is a video of Andy Rubin demonstrating an early beta of Android. At 2:20 he loads up Quake and its running at 30fps. If you search the web you can find several other videos of the same demonstration on different hardware. So really, why do we not have any FPS games available yet? Does it have to do with the lack of paid games so far? Quake is pretty much shareware, so I don't know whats holding someone back from releasing it.
I've been told paid apps are coming tomorrow and I'm really interested to see what games come out.

I'm pleased to share with our residents and readers that the first season of the City's recently launched Reforest Rolla program has resulted in the planting of 85 new trees among various residential properties in the Rolla community.
I'm pleased to share with our residents and readers that the first season of the City's recently launched Reforest Rolla program has resulted in the planting of 85 new trees among various residential properties in the Rolla community.
Some of the trees were also planted in front of the Community Garden that is located next to the Public Works Services Park on McCutchen Drive behind the Rolla Recycling Center. The trees were planted by the Public Works Department so the public can see what the various species and sizes of trees look like. The next opportunity to place an order for a free tree through the Reforest Rolla program will be in the Spring of 2013 when the next phase of the program continues.
Spearheaded by the City of Rolla's Engineering Division in the Public Works Department, the Reforest Rolla program will eventually lead to a comprehensive management plan to preserve and care for our tree resources, and will reduce the amount of storm water runoff and erosion by "recycling" rainfall through absorption and evaporation. Trees absorb rainwater that would otherwise end up in the storm sewer.
Did you know, for instance, that over a 50 year lifetime, a tree can recycle nearly $37,500 worth of water, all the while reducing pollutants and protecting the environment? This is because trees absorb rainwater that would otherwise end up in the storm sewer along with sediment and pollutants. In fact, urban and community reforestation is becoming a more popular technique daily. Trees naturally filter sotrmwater and reduce runoff and erosion. They have energy saving benefits associated with them and are aesthetically pleasing.
The Reforest Rolla program will lead to the adoption of a tree management ordinance, the development of the "Reforest Rolla Commission," the planting of approximately 100 trees per cycle/season; a city-wide tree inventory, and eventual recognition as a Tree City USA.
By using funds from a Tree Resource Improvement and Maintenance (TRIM) grant program, the city developed a Reforest Rolla brochure (that was mailed to 9,200 households in the City of Rolla) to educate the citizens of Rolla on the Reforest Rolla program as well as the benefits of trees.
The TRIM grant is cost-share program provided and administered by the Missouri Department of Conservation in cooperation with the Missouri Community Forestry Council and the U.S. Forest Service. It provides financial assistance for the management, improvement or conservation of our community forests.
I would like to express my appreciation and thanks to City's Public Works Department, and especially the efforts of Anne McClay, Project Coordinator; Jolene Carson, Secretary; Don Humphrey, Foreman (Street Dept); and Len Mathis, Foreman (Street Dept.).
Without their collaboration and team work this program would not have been the success that it is. I would also like to extend my appreciation to the Missouri Department of Conservation, Missouri Community Forestry Council and U.S. Forest Service for their continued support and collaboration with this important program.
If you are interested in participating in the Reforest Rolla program in the Spring 2013, and would like to place an order for a free tree, or learn more about the program, please contact Anne McClay at 426-6955. Free Reforest Rolla brochures are also available in the lobby of Rolla City Hall (901 N. Elm Street) and at the Rolla Area Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center (located at 1311 Kingshighway).
Have an enjoyable weekend and a safe week!
