When Vienna resident Patricia Britz worked at the National Sleep Foundation, she fielded calls from parents wanting information on sleep needs of their children. Sleep, Britz observed, is not as valued as it deserves to be. Parents recognize their children "need" sleep, but students and many adults boast about how little sleep they get nightly. Britz knew that children develop habits when young, and she set out, a couple of years ago, to reach out to primary-school children about the value of sleep. Her recently published book, "Animals Need Zzzs, Too," engages the 4 to 8-year-old market with playful interactive descriptions and softly colored illustrations.
"This book offers a new and different perspective on the importance of sleep and will alert both parents and children to basic sleep facts."
—Meir H. Kryger M.D.
"It's a fun way to appreciate the importance of getting a good night's sleep," said Britz. "Children love animals and what they do. Kids will look at the book and say, 'oh they sleep like that. We sleep like this.'"
While working at the National Sleep Foundation, Britz developed the website's kids-and-sleep resource. It inspired her to target children themselves at an early age. "The idea is for kids to think about their own need for sleep as a universal requirement for all animals."
The soft-cover book addresses modes of sleep for humans and other animals, illustrating the differences between diurnal and nocturnal animals, and animals who sleep standing up and those who lie down. Young children and baby animals sleep for up to 14 or 15 hours a day, but the sleep need tapers off as animals mature, the book tells the young readers. What makes the book entertaining to children is the manner in which Brtiz weaves facts into the book's illustrations. As she conveys details, she poses questions to the reader, as well.
Britz worked at the National Sleep Foundation for seven years and has worked in the health field, from hospice to public affairs and the brain injury foundation, for most of her adult life. She has master's degrees in education and in public management, focusing on health.
Britz does readings and interactive presentations for children in the Northern Virginia area.
The National Sleep Foundation purchased 400 copies of "Animals Need Zzzs, Too."
"This book offers a new and different perspective on the importance of sleep and will alert both parents and children to basic sleep facts," said Meir H. Kryger M.D., past chair and current member of the National Sleep Foundation Board of Directors, in a written statement. "Parents are offered tips on how to establish healthy sleep habits for young children that will last a lifetime."
Britz has sold her book at book fairs and holiday bazaars. Artist Kelly Carter illustrated "Animals Need Zzzs, Too."
"The whole thrust is to impart to children that all animals need sleep," Britz said. "It's a basic drive."
Contact author Patricia Britz at email@example.com if you would like her to give a presentation to a children's group or preschool.

ParagPgh necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 112 diseños de 36 diseñadores freelance.
Neya Systems, LLC
I'm a single person startup, doing technology for the robotics and unmanned systems industry. This generally means writing software and designing electromechanical components for small and large robots.
The applications include defense (like bomb disposal robots, robots to evacuate wounded soldiers), and commercial, such as agriculture, mining, and other similar industries.
I'm also interested in consumer product applications of robotics technologies - like the Roomba and other iRobot products.
The culture I'm trying to create for my company is based on Carnegie Mellon University's "be reasonable" principle. I.e., act reasonably, and behave as if others will act reasonably towards you.
I've spent 6 years in a different startup, and watched it go from 3 people, to acquisition, to integration into a large corporate environment. I'm starting this company to get back to what I loved about my early days at my previous job - the excitement, energy, and passion that goes behind most successful startups.
Initially Department of Defense - but I do not want a militaristic logo, since I'm also targeting consumer applications for robotics. These will be early adopters, slightly geeky, and people who love technology for technology's sake.
As examples of robotics companies that have logos that I like the look and feel of, check out:
Main requirement is that it can't be too militaristic - i.e., no camo, no gunmetal, etc.. Definitely something a bit more modern and artistic.

Subscribe To Platinum Games Wants Darksiders IP For Cheap Updates
I've already subscribed
With THQ dissolved and Vigil Games closing the doors to the studio, there could be some hope for the former folks of the popular Darksiders series. Platinum Games' executive director Atsushi Inaba has commented about potentially picking up the license to the Darksiders IP, if they could grab it for cheap. I would certainly vote with an emphatic "Yes!" to that news.
Kotaku spotted and translated a tweet from the executive director, who recently took to Twitter to express some interest in the title, writing...
"In THQ studio and IP selling off auction, Darksiders is unsold? [We] wanna buy it...on the cheap,
Could this mean a few stable jobs for the recently let-go Vigil Studios crew? None of that is discussed, but I honestly could not think of a better studio to get hold of the Darksiders brand than Platinum Games. They honestly know their way around a hack and slash title, and combining that with a deep rooted RPG element could really open up some new doors in the genre.
Right now, Platinum Games is known as the go-to group for cheap, fast development turnovers with high-quality turnouts. I really, really hope that they can work something out and get their hands on the IP, as I'm sure many fans would hop on board to support the team.
You can learn more about which studios and games were sold off right here, as THQ has dissolved into nothing following a bankruptcy and acquisition from a capital investment firm.

On Tuesday the Dow Jones closed within a stone's throw of its all time high, which it printed in 2007.
Is the blue chip index at the edges of a new era in stock market history – one in which it marches considerably higher?
Or like in 2007, has the Dow arrived at a kind of ceiling?
In an attempt to answer those questions – Jim Cramer said it was valuable to compare the Dow Jones - then and now.

Department of Revenue News Release
June 17, 2010Greenfield License Office Awarded to New Agent
JEFFERSON CITY - A Greenfield businesswoman has been named as the new agent for the Greenfield Motor Vehicle and License Office. The winning proposal was chosen as part of a reformed, competitive bidding process for all of Missouri's local license offices.
Patti Hayes of Greenfield will be the new agent for the Greenfield License Office. Hayes has been the owner and operator of the H & R Block tax service office in Greenfield since 2005. The winning bid was one of four submitted.
Besides having a new agent, the Greenfield License Office will also have a new location. The new office will be at 311 W. Water St, which is next to Hayes' H & R Block office. Details about changes in office operations will be announced by the agent.
According to figures from Fiscal Year 2009, about 12,600 transactions took place at the Greenfield office, and about $42,450 in processing fees were generated.
Bidders have the option of returning a portion of an office's revenues to the state. Hayes' winning proposal included a 1 percent ($424) return to the state. More than $1 million will be returned to the state during the first contract year from the 183 license offices awarded under the reformed bidding process.
Although Gov. Nixon authorized the Missouri Department of Revenue to implement the new bidding system in January of 2009, it didn't become part of state law until legislation was signed by the Governor in July of last year. The new law was overwhelmingly approved by both Republican and Democratic members of the Missouri Legislature.
All 183 of Missouri's license offices have now been awarded to agents under the new bidding system. One-hundred one offices have gone to incumbents, groups associated with incumbent agents or interim agents, and 82 have been awarded to new agents. Ten offices initially awarded are being re-bid at the request of the Missouri Department of Revenue, and six of those re-bids are still pending.
Alana M. Barragán-Scott, director of the Missouri Department of Revenue, said the new bidding process has gone well.
"The teams that reviewed the office proposals have been impressed with the quality of the bids," she said. "Some proposals include longer office hours, some include better office locations and others have good ideas to improve customer service during peak operating hours. The reformed bidding process has been a success for Missouri citizens."
All local license offices provide services that are overseen by the Department of Revenue, but each office is operated by an independent contractor. Transactions that are conducted at these offices include the issuance and renewal of driver licenses, issuance of titles for motor vehicles, and the issuance and renewal of registration for motor vehicles, boats and outboard motors.

|Jeff Katz has had three and a half sacks, five
tackles for loss in Amherst's first four games.
Amherst athletics photo
Western New England offensive coordinator Ryan Anderson was a third baseman at Dickinson. But going into the season opener at Norwich he really was at the hot corner. WNEC coach Keith Emery had unexpectly lost his offensive coordinator late in the summer and Anderson came aboard the last week of July.
He was installing a new offense and the Golden Bears were not even certain who their new quarterback would be. That's all pretty daunting when you are about to travel to play a team going into the season on an eight-game winning streak.
The result was not unexpected. Norwich spanked WNEC 35-7.
"It was a long night back from Vermont," Emery said.
And it's been a beautiful ride ever since. The Golden Bears have reeled off six consecutive victories and are 4-0 in the Boyd Division of the New England Football Conference, putting themselves in a showdown at 4-0 Plymouth State this weekend.
Just a few miles down I-91, there's another winning streak going on. The Amherst Lord Jeffs are 4-0 and on a 12-game winning streak in the New England Small College Athletic Conference.
The Bears and Jeffs are having all this success with very different situations at quarterback.
The Jeffs have the benefit of a three-year starter with plenty of savvy in Alex Vetras.
"He is everything you want in a quarterback," Amherst coach E.J. Mills said. "He is a great leader, he understands the offense and he makes good decisions.
"His sophomore year he made some critical mistakes, turnovers in big games. It was a real learning experience. He's not making those mistakes now."
That has shown up this season in Vetras's TD-interception ratio. He has had nine scoring strikes and has been picked off just once.
Emery did not settle on one quarterback until after the nonconference schedule had been completed.
"Josh Lamson had actually won the job out of spring ball," Emery said.
"After three games we decided to settle on one guy. The separation was so small."
They went with junior Bryce Brown, who had played at Sacred Heart and Springffield.
"Bryce was the older kid and more experienced and runs the option a little better," Emery said.
The Golden Bears had a great four-year run with Justin Walz at quarterback. He rewrote the record book, breaking all of the school's passing records. Now, it's all different. Emery estimates the ratio is 65-35 in favor of the run.
Plymouth is also run-run-run.
"This could be the fastest game ever," joked Emery.
Bryce Brown, like Walz, is from Connecticut. There are 58 players on the WNEC roster from Connecticut, many more than from Massachusetts.
That's because Emery handles the recruiting of that state himself and has struck up great relationships with the high school coaches there.
He knows toppling Plymouth at the Panthers' Currier Field is an imposing task. This is new territory for the Golden Bears.
"They have been here before. We haven't been here," Emery said.
WNEC is coming off a 27-10 win over MIT where Brown did a little of everything. He piled up 111 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries and also completed 12 passes for 113 yards. He threw 18 times and had no interceptions.
Plymouth has already had a dress rehearsal. They were in a similar showdown last week when the 3-0 Panthers met 3-0 Endicott for the right to keep pace with WNEC. J.J. Brooks scored on a keeper with 8:37 left to give Plymouth a hard-earned 10-3 victory.
WNEC and Amherst are creating quite a buzz around Western Massachusetts as well as on their campus.
"The support has been amazing," Emery said. "Springfield is used to Springfield College doing this, not so much WNEC.
"WNEC has been a soccer school and now the soccer kids are coming to our games. It's just great to see. We're having fun."
Mills said the fans are excited about the 12-game win skein, but he and his players know they have to focus only on the opponent this week "or the streak will be over."
And like WNEC, Amherst has a very tough opponent on the road.
Wesleyan is 3-1 and it's the Cardinals' homecoming.
"This game is huge," Mills said. "Mike Whalen does a great job and they return a ton of starters.
"It's also a Little Three Game (Wesleyan, Williams and Amherst) and that's very important to us. Our priority every year is to win The Little Three and you can't do that without winning the first one."
If Vetras is a leader of the offense, Jeff Katz has to be a leader on the other side of the ball for the Jeffs. Katz is 24 years old and played baseball in the Atlanta Braves organization for three years. He also played football at Lafayette. He made 10 tackles and forced a fumble in the 30-12 win against Colby.
Matt Pieterse also had a big game on defense for the Jeffs, making nine tackles and scooping up a fumble and returning it 81 yards for a score.
"The other kids look up to Jeff and the way he prepares for a game," Mills said.
"Western New England kids are unsung,' Emery said. "Last year we went 6-4 and had only three make all-conference.
"It's a different kid every week. It's no one guy. Every week a different guy steps up and the kids are really feeding off that."
This week at Plymouth, a lot of guys are going to have to step up.
And Mills knows it will take the same kind of effort from his players at Wesleyan's homecoming.
But lately every week it's been a win for these I-91 neighbors. And that's creating a lot of excitement around here.
Ground assault
Just as there was the showdown in the Boyd Division of the NEFC, the Bogan Division had its own big game.
Chris McKenney's Maine Maritime offense did it the way they always do, pounding the ball all day long. This time it resulted in a 50-26 victory over Framingham State, leaving both teams at 3-1 in the Bogan.
Workhorse Jim Bower had 285 yards and three touchdowns to show for his 31 carries and quarterback Matt Rende accrued 182 yards and three scores.
The Mariners rushed for 523 yards.
Crowded at the top
It's a showdown every week in the Bogan. Mass. Maritime joined Framingham and Maine Maritime at the top by beating Fitchburg State 34-7 to stretch their own Bogan mark to 3-1.
The Maritimes will settle things this week in the battle for the Admiral's Cup.
Mass. Maritime quarterback Mike Stanton threw for two touchdowns and Matt White ran for two.
This is the latest Mass. Maritime (4-3 overall) has been over .500 since Oct. 14, 2000.
Salve's big 'D'
All season, win or lose, coaches have raved about Salve Regina's defense. This time it forced eight turnovers in a 31-7 win over Curry. The victory snapped a seven-game losing streak to Curry.
Trey Scales scored two second-half touchdowns for the Seahawks, but it was on defense where they made their mark, recovering five fumbles, intercepting three passes and registering four sacks. Shane Lange had two of the sacks, two fumble recoveries and four hurries. Lange this season has 51 tackles, including a team-leading 11.5 for a loss.
Hamilton breaks through
Hamilton gots its first win, 31-10 over Bowdoin. James Stanell rushed for 119 yards and two touchdowns.
The 31 points was the most scored by the Continentals since they beat Bowdoin 51-48 in overtime six years ago.
Castleton, Ida and Norwich keep pace with
The Eastern Collegiate Football Conference is a four-team race with SUNY-Maritime keeping its perfect season intact at 7-0 and 4-0 in the ECFC.
SUNY-Maritime's storybook season continued with a 23-0 win over Becker.
SUNY-Maritime coach Clayton-Kendrick Holmes' orders for deployment after the season have received plenty of attention. It was chronicled here and later was the subject of a story in the New York Times. He is recognized for his service at visiting venues.
Another chapter in this great story was written with the win over Becker as Jamie Spanopoulos ran for two touchdowns and Keith Barnes had nine tackles and two of the Privateers; five sacks. Quarterback Joe Dickey ran for 89 yards and a score. Madison Leary kicked a 38-yard field goal with time expired to send SUNY-Maritime to halftime with a 16-0 lead.
Mount Ida, Castleton State and Norwich won to stay one game behind SUNY-Maritime. All are 3-1.
Ida had to do it without star running back Johrone Bunch who was hampered by an injury and limited to two carries. The Mustangs defeated Gallaudet 22-16 with 14 unanswered points in the second half. Scott Drosendah threw for 288 yards and a touchdown.
Castleton outgunned Anna Maria 49-36 in the Helmet Game. The teams, which launched their programs against one another in 2009, play for a trophy that is a helmet, half of which is painted in one another';s colors.
Castleton's Mick Wong rushed for a career-high 118 yards and caught a touchdown pass. Tyler Carpenter added 85 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. Shane Brozowski complemented this ground game by throwing for 299 yards and a score. Michael Patterson had five cathes for 99 yards.
Norwich routed Husson 52-7 as Kris Sabourin threw three touchdown passes and the Cadets amassed 461 rushing yards. Andrew Fulford had 110 of those on 14 carries.
Dwyer, Wesleyan on the run
Shea Dwyer and Wesleyan set up that big homecoming game with Amherst by beating Bates 27-20. The Bobcats threw a scare into the Cardinals as it took a 20-yard touchdown run by Matt Coyne with just 51 seconds remaining.
Dwyer had 169 yards on 33 carries. It was his fourth straight 100-yard rushing game and he is averaging 189 yards rushing per game.
Mr. Versatility at Westfield
Westfield State's leading rusher Luke Johnson was unable to go because of an injury so leading receiver Evan Berneche stepped in at running back. What a debut! Berneche gained 236 yards on 37 carries, including a touchdown.
As a receiver, Berneche has 24 catches for 457 yards and four TDs this season.
Just for kicks
Mass-Dartmouth did with the foot and it belonged to Edgar Osols. He kicked three field goals in the Corsairs' 9-7 victory over Nichols. His third won it with 1:22 remaining.
New digs, new life
Newly renovated Swenson Field got broken in in grand style. Bridgewater was celebrating its homecoming and refurbished field. It couldn't have been better. The Bears trimmed Worcester State 25-9 and the big-play man was freshman Chris Constantine. He caught a 39-yard touchdownn pass and retuned a kickoff 75 yards for a score. Freshman Mike McCarthy threw for two touchdowns.
Look what I can do
Middlebury quarterback Donnie McKillop sets some kind of record every week. Last week it was the New England Division III record for completions. This week it was the New England Division III record for attempts. He has 1,111 in 26 games.
He threw for 302 yards and a touchdown, but was upstaged by Williams quarterback Pat Moffitt. He threw for 334 yards and four touchdowns as Williams won 41-17 to run its record to 4-0.
No place like home
Trinity extended its incredible home winning streak to 37 games by beating Tufts 27-7 as freshman running back Evan Bunker gained 158 yards with a touchdown on 32 carries.
The Big Games
Where to start? There are so many this week, but begin with the showdown in the foothills of the White Mountains. Western New England and Plymouth match their 4-0 records in the Boyd Division.
And on the other side of the NEFC, it'll be a whole lot of commotion by the ocean. The Admiral's Cup would be enough in itself, but now we have at least a share of first place in the Bogan Division at stake as well when Mass. Maritime and Maine Maritime clash in Castine.
The NESCAC's big game has Amherst putting that 12-game streak on the line against a good Wesleyan team that will have a homecoming crowd in its side.
And in the ECFC, the game with the don't-miss tag has undefeated SUNY-Maritime going into Mount Ida which is just a game behind the Privateers.

An unbearable loss and now the end of two years of breakneck construction of a dream is bringing the extended Gengel clan from Central Massachusetts to a small coastal town in Haiti today.
Some 70 guests from the United States and several dozen Haitian friends and co-workers are gathering on a mountainside in Grande Goave, Haiti, for a spiritual ceremony/grand opening for the Be Like Brit Orphanage.
The concrete, nearly earthquake-proof building is named � and shaped � in memory of Britney Gengel, who was 19 when she died in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince on Jan. 12, 2010, in an earthquake that shattered the impoverished island nation.
The structure is formed in a giant �B,� with two rotundas facing the valley and sea below. It is expected to house 66 orphans, plus staff, and visiting volunteers.
But the devastation that wracked Britney�s parents, Leonard and Cherylann Gengel of Holden, spurred Mr. Gengel, 52, a Worcester native and successful builder of private homes, to memorialize their daughter and help Haitian orphans.
Already, the humanitarian effort has redeemed some of the Gengels� suffering, and they are hoping that it will bring hope to a new generation in the largely rural southeastern corner of Haiti about 70 miles from Port-au-Prince.
�This is very personal for us,� Mrs. Gengel said recently at the family�s home in Holden, as she and her husband and Be Like Brit�s director, Rutland native Kristin Hervey Musser, made final preparations for the opening day events.
Inspired by a text Britney sent a few hours before she was crushed in the wreckage of a luxury hotel, Mr. Gengel set out to build the orphanage, even though he had never built in concrete, and had only once traveled outside the United States.
To realize their dream, the couple created a nonprofit organization, Be Like Brit, and raised nearly $2 million for the orphanage, including their own savings and countless hours of volunteered labor and expertise. Mr. Gengel downsized his Central Massachusetts business and traveled more than three dozen times to Haiti to supervise work.
�We�re so close to the finish line,� said Mr. Gengel, who has become conversant in the Haitian language of Creole. �I don�t regret even one second of it. I love the Haitian people. I love the children of Haiti.�
On Saturday, the Gengels will present the fruit of their efforts to their large extended family, many of whom have never been to Haiti, and to Britney�s friends and college roommates and others who lost children and loved ones in the earthquake.
A graduate of Holden�s Wachusett Regional High School, Britney was volunteering with students and faculty from Lynn University of Boca Raton, Fla., when the massive, magnitude-7.0 quake hit.
Also among the many thousands who died were three of Britney�s fellow students and two faculty members.
In addition to family, the Gengels� pastor, the Rev. John Madden of St. John�s Catholic Church in Worcester, will be on hand, as will the Rev. Robert Lord, of Milford, Conn., who was Mr. Gengel�s pastor as a young man.
The two priests will celebrate a Catholic Mass on Sunday morning before the group departs for the Hotel Montana to view the spot, high on a mountain flank overlooking Port-au-Prince, where Britney and the others died.
The Rev. Debra Pallatto-Fontaine, a United Church of Christ minister and professor of teacher education and family studies at Becker College in Worcester, is also on the trip. Be Like Brit has forged a close relationship with Becker, with many students serving as �Britsionaries� helping to build the orphanage over the past two years.
Also there from Worcester will be Susan Johnson, director of nurse education at Quinsigamond Community College, and a member of the orphanage�s medical team.
Present as well will be the directors of the medical team, part of the Reston, Va.-based nonprofit Child in Hand: Dr. Gregory R. Ciottone, head of Harvard University�s disaster relief section, and his wife, Amalia, a trauma nurse. The Ciottones, of Westminster, have already made several trips to Haiti to design medical programs at the BLB orphanage and at other orphanages in Port-au-Prince.
The only American political luminary on hand will be U.S. Rep. James P. McGovern, along with his chief of staff, Clinton native Christopher Philbin.
The Worcester Democrat used his contacts at the U.S. Department of State to get Mr. Gengel into Haiti 10 days after Britney died. The veteran congressman � noted for his humanitarian efforts in poor countries � led Mr. Gengel and a delegation of Lynn University family members into Haiti from the adjacent Dominican Republic in those chaotic days.
Several media members will be reporting on the trip, including a reporter and photographer from the Telegram & Gazette and telegram.com.
Mr. Gengel said he is proud of the project that he is now ready to unveil in its completion to the outside world.
Along the way, the Gengels and Ms. Musser, the BLB director, have amply documented construction progress on BLB�s website and Facebook and Twitter pages, while simultaneously doing full-bore fundraising. The Gengels� sons, Bernie, 20, and Richie, 17, have also helped.
�This is a representation of our daughter,� Mr. Gengel said.

Rufus Wainwright lines up on Elton's side
Et tu, Rufus? Wainwright has attempted an explanation of why he isn't interested in helping the pro-Gay marriage campaign:
"Oddly enough, I'm actually not a huge gay marriage supporter. I personally don't want to get married but I think that any law or amendment to the constitution that deals with sex and love should just be banned in general."
So you personally don't want to get married, Rufus, so there's no need to support the rights of those who do. You don't think that, perhaps, many of the freedoms we enjoy have been fought for by people who are not personally going to benefit from the victory, but do it because it's right?
It gets worse, though:
"I don't think any government should encroach on what goes on in the bedroom at all. Frankly, if you want to marry a dog, why don't you go ahead and marry a dog, I don't care. I'm a complete libertarian and so I really disagree with it".
This is a gay man, lazily comparing gay marriage - which is about the state valuing a relationship, and one of the few times the government has to encroach on affairs of the heart - with marrying a dog. Although, confusingly, Rufus seems to think that marrying a dog is fine, but marrying someone of the same sex is a right you shouldn't even need to have. And if he is a "complete libertatian", then shouldn't he be campaigning for those beliefs, rather than just doing nothing and trying to claim that his apathy is somehow noble?

Turn the records over. That's what Attorney General Lisa Madigan's office has told Acting Illinois State Police director Jonathon Monken, who has refused to release reports chronicling the drunken driving arrest of Springfield parks director Michael Stratton.
Turn the records over. That's what Attorney General Lisa Madigan's office has told Acting Illinois State Police director Jonathon Monken, who has refused to release reports chronicling the drunken driving arrest of Springfield parks director Michael Stratton.
Monken on Tuesday morning told The State Journal-Register, which asked for the reports, that he believes releasing the documents might even be a crime.
But a senior aide to Madigan informed Monken late in the day via letter that the reports are public records that must be released. And in an interview, another Madigan aide characterized the state police's position as "absurd."
"As you are aware, compliance with the Freedom of Information Act is critical as we work to restore the public's confidence in state government," wrote Michael Luke, senior assistant attorney general, in a letter to Monken.
"Unfortunately, the manner in which this request was handled demonstrates a continued unwillingness on the part of the Illinois State Police to respond fully and completely to all Freedom of Information Act requests and to comply with that law's goal of providing the people of Illinois with access to all public documents.
"Please immediately direct your staff to comply with (the newspaper's) Freedom of Information Act request."
The newspaper's request was first denied when Larry Trent was state police director. State police claimed that releasing the records would violate Stratton's privacy, interfere with a law enforcement proceeding and hinder an investigation.
In denying an appeal from the newspaper, Monken, who was appointed by Gov. Pat Quinn in March, said releasing the records would violate three other state laws.
On Tuesday, Monken said that releasing the reports might be a criminal offense.
"Depending on the information we release from an arrest report, I'm personally guilty of a Class A misdemeanor by releasing certain types of information," Monken said. "It's been reviewed by many, many sets of eyes to determine what the circumstances are with it, and so far, that's the process we're taking: to involve as many of these legal entities as possible to make sure it's not
just the Illinois State Police saying 'Eh, we don't really feel like releasing it,' because that's not really the circumstance.
"What it comes down to is whether or not we can legally release that information under the current system that exists."
Monken suggested that the law might need to be rewritten so that such reports can be legally released.
Not so, according to the attorney general's office, which has asked Monken to explain how the state Uniform Conviction Information Act, the Criminal Identification Act and the State Records Act — all cited by Monken in refusing the newspaper's appeal – allow state police to deny an FOIA request for a police report.
Cara Smith, Madigan's deputy chief of staff, said bringing up new reasons for not releasing documents after a requester appeals a denial amounts to "a shell game."
The attorney general's office has long been concerned that state police do not properly respond to FOIA requests, Smith said.
"I think it, unfortunately, demonstrates the continuation of a pattern we thought would have ended," Smith said. "Out of the blue at the end of the day come three new statutes. There's no analysis that would justify the application of those statutes to whatever documents they have. … I guess they're alleging 'We're not covered by FOIA.' Absurd. Absolutely absurd."
State police have said Quinn's legal staff assisted with their response to the newspaper's appeal. Monken did not say whether the governor's lawyers believe the reports are public records, and Katherine Ridgway, Quinn spokeswoman, ducked when asked via e-mail whether the governor's office believes the reports are public records.
"We agree with the State Police's course of action to consult the Attorney General's office to make sure all applicable laws are complied with," Ridgway wrote.
The response came after the newspaper asked to speak with Jay Stewart, senior counsel to the governor and former executive director of the Better Government Association, which has long said that the state Freedom of Information Act needs an overhaul to improve access to public records.
The newspaper e-mailed Ridgway a copy of the attorney general's letter to Monken, and she acknowledged receiving it. But she would not answer questions.
"We are reviewing the letter and will have more information later," Ridgway wrote in an e-mail.
The attorney general has no power to force state police or any other government agency to release records. In 2006, former Gov. Rod Blagojevich ignored Madigan's opinion and refused to release federal subpoenas received by his office that had been requested by the Better Government Association and others. The BGA ultimately sued Blagojevich and won.

You will get The Sims 3 CD Key (photo or scan of the cd key from original DVD box). You can activate and download the game from Steam.
If you're reading this, there's a very good chance that you've heard about The Sims. It's been difficult to escape the popular franchise's web, what with two full games and a seemingly endless stream of expansions. The first thing you may be asking, then, is whether The Sims 3 is worth playing, or if it's just more of the same. Well, it most certainly is worth it, and yes, in some ways it is more of the same. But in this case, that's a very good thing. For anyone who's played The Sims or its first sequel, this familiarity will let them ease into it, feeling like a welcomed guest rather than an outsider. But this doesn't make The Sims 3 a simple rehash of what's come before. Instead, returning elements have been energized and extended by a number of terrific improvements, such as expanded customization tools, additional tools for interaction with other sims (and other players), and more tangible goals and rewards. Most importantly, the free-to-explore town makes you feel like part of an entire virtual society--a feature approximated but never fully realized in the previous games. By blending together the old and the new, developer Maxis has created the best, most charming game yet in the series.

Nice rack, however the bike is definitely worth more than the car. Sorry, just saying...
The Saris Gran Fondo is a very fine rear mounted rack for taking your posh bike to the sportive or crit. If you have a big stable of disparate bikes then it might not be the right choice, but as an easy-to-fit solution to carrying your good bike it's a well-thought-out, if fairly expensive, option.
The Gran Fondo comes in bits and putting it together is simple and takes about 10 minutes. When you're done you'll have an alloy frame with a standard six-strap harness to fit on the tailgate of your motor. The Gran Fondo will fit most cars easily and you can swap the hooked straps for toggled ones that sit inside the tailgate if the hooks won't grab or you're worried about your paintwork. The four big rubber feet are very kind on paintwork and rear windscreens and spread the load well.
The bike mounting system, however, is nothing like the standard two-prong approach. There are two half-moon front wheel holders at the top and smaller rear wheel mounts at the bottom; you lob the front wheel in and the holder keeps the whole bike hanging nice and securely. There's a ratchet strap on both wheels to stop your pride and joy ghost riding off the back of your car.
The main benefits of this approach are that the bikes aren't obscuring the number plate or the rear light clusters, so there's no need to carry a light board. You also get markedly better rear vision when you're driving. And, most importantly, it looks really Pro.
Once I'd fitted the Gran Fondo and set off on a 200-mile cross-country jaunt, the process with this rack was the same as it is with any other: set off cautiously, convinced the rack/bike is going to fall off every time it moves at all; stop to tighten the straps; eventually forget about it and proceed as normal. There's a bit of side-to-side movement of the bikes on the rack but they're well held and you soon relax. Obviously, the straps are just webbing and easily cut, so the rack isn't thief-proof; I wouldn't leave bikes on any rear-mounted rack while I was out of sight of the car at a service station or whatever, and the Gran Fondo is no exception.
The half-moon wheel cups are adjustable, with two settings. There's a standard wheel size for 700c bikes and 26in mountain bikes and a bigger one for 29ers. There's a limit to what you can carry though. You can usually find a way to carry an odd-shaped bike (kid's bike, BMX, tandem, etc) on a two-prong rack but you'll be stuck with the Gran Fondo. Similarly, if you've bikes with mudguards then this isn't the rack for you; the wheel holders are designed to grab the tyre and mudguards just get in the way or get bent. Also, you're limited to two bikes. there's no sneaking another one on.
Assuming you have specific needs (standard bikes with no mudguards, carried in style) and plenty of cash, the Gran Fondo is certainly worth looking at. You can get a roof-mounted system for similar money – and that'll look *really* Pro – but the Saris scores on being super-simple to fit and remove and easy to use, although it's not as secure as roof bars and a lockable carrier. If you're worried about clamping your expensive frame then this approach doesn't really put stress on any part of the bike.
£250 is a lot for a rear mounted carrier, but if you're moving a couple of expensive bikes about then the Gran Fondo is simple and quick to fit and well designed for the job. It's not as versatile as a two-prong rack or as secure as a roof carrier, but it's definitely worth a look.

Rule #25 // The bikes on top of your car should be worth more than the car.
For more info see the rules
I would like to know if this unusual position of this bike rack is more efficient based on fuel consumption, noise on the highway, speed limit.
Being positioned parallel with the road it might have less wind resistance so it might be better from all points of view but maybe we can get the testers opinion on that just to be sure.

Perfect In Case of Slips or Falls
Get Security and Protection for Yourself or Your Loved ones with our Medical Alert Systems.
Stay Safe in Your Own Home.
Don't Delay – Call Today for More Info!
Call hours – Open 24/7
You've probably seen the ads on TV and in magazines: How do you get help in a medical emergency when you're alone at home? The makers of medical alert systems promise that their products will come to the rescue, whether you've fallen and you can't get up or you're experiencing symptoms of a heart attack, stroke, or seizure. The ads are reaching a receptive audience: Sales of med-alert services are growing as the baby boom generation ages.Medical alert systems were introduced in the 1970s as simple push-button devices worn around the neck. They summoned help by signaling a base station connected to a home phone line that would alert a call-center operator. Today's systems are still wearable, but you can also mount help buttons throughout the home that allow for two-way voice communication with call centers. Some offer motion-sensitive pendants that can detect a fall and place a call for help.
Who needs one? Most buyers purchase a system for an aging parent who lives alone so that they can get help quickly if needed. That person might be at a heightened risk for falls because of poor eyesight or memory changes, says Barbara Resnick, Ph.D., professor of nursing at the University of Maryland and past president of the American Geriatrics Society. The systems can also be useful in nonemergency situations where the user doesn't need an ambulance but does need someone to come to their aid. The call center will alert a preselected relative or friend who can come over and assist.
Benefits of Medical Alert System in Houlton Maine
These types of emergency systems have many benefits associated with them. One of the main benefits is that they provide help to individuals when they cannot get to a telephone to call emergency medical services. Since the medical alert devices are worn on their wrists or around their necks, all they have to do is to reach up and hit the designated button and they will be contacted with the medical alert company right away. This convenience is one benefit of the medical system.
Another benefit to the medical system is that it provides independence to individuals who may not have been able to live alone without such a device. By having this type of system in place, if the individual is a senior citizen they will feel confident in living alone as will their family members who know that a medical alert system is right by their side.
Medical alert devices are also quite reasonable in cost. Depending on the type of system one orders, they may have to pay for the devices in addition to a monthly monitoring fee. The prices will vary from company to company in Guam but overall the price is reasonable and is usually around $30 per month. When viewing everything that one gets for this price it can easily be justified and seen as a great deal.

Questions about the Personal Emergency Response System
1. Does this medical alert system work with VOIP (voice over internet protocol) telephone services? If you have Comcast or Verizon cable at home, chances are that you might also be using them for your (home) phone service. If that's the case, you are likely are using a VOIP plan (just as we do with Vonage, another major VOIP provider). Many of the traditional medical alert system providers recommend checking with your home (VOIP) phone provider to see whether they offer local 911 (and other) services. So keep this in mind, and ask*. (*Note: The alert system providers will know about their compatibility with the major phone service providers.)
2. What is the range of my alert system? MOST of the major medical alert system providers have the following components included in their "systems". A base station and a pendent of some kind (necklace – worn around the neck, belt clip, or wrist watch like device. The myHalo system even has a chest strap). MOST of the pendants need to communicate (wirelessly) with a base station that is connected to your home phone line. So, you need to know the range of that pendant to the base station. Usually this range covers most normal sized homes, and is in the neighborhood of 400-600 feet. After installation be sure to test out the range inside (and outside) the home.
3. Does someone install this for me, or do I do it myself? Many manufacturers have sales/marketing representatives that will come to your home and install/test the system for you. They usually charge a one time set-up fee for this service so ask about that fee is ahead of time! If all they do is send the alert system to you, make sure there is ample literature (on and off line) for assistance with set-up AND testing. Always TEST your medical alert system before using it.
4. Do I need a land line to use this medical alert system? In most cases the answer will be YES, but there are a few exceptions. For example, The MobileHelp Medical Alert System has a small hand-held device that connects to AT&T Wireless for use outside the home (anywhere covered by AT&T). To use their pendant (small necklace) device around the home, you still need a land line however. Also, The Wellcore Personal Emergency Response System boasts the ability to interface with some cell phones to extend the range of their device outside the home.
5. Who staffs your call center, where are they located, and what are the average response times? OK, this is a bit of a loaded question, because "outsourcing" call centers has been a trend that many, many companies take advantage of. Frankly, I've found great service from call centers all over the world, and the only thing you need to be wary of here is PERFORMANCE.
Nearest Medical System to You In Aroostook County 04730
How to pick the right one in ME
As the population ages, the range of services for seniors increases. The medical alarm is one of those pieces of technology that has grown in popularity. Where there were once only a few businesses offering medical alert systems, there are now dozens. So, how does one choose the best medical alarm out of the many options available?
One of the most important features of a medical alarm is the monitoring service. If an individual has made the decision that they need an alert system, then they have made the decision that they may need outside help in case of an emergency. If the monitoring system fails or is unsatisfactory, then the alert system is inadequate. A monitoring system should be a monitoring centre, not be a direct call to 911. Many people who utilize medical alert systems simply require outside support such as a friend or family member, not emergency services. A monitoring service can provide this support. Secondly, the provider of the medical alarm should own the monitoring service. This way, the professionals who answer the alarm are qualified by the standards of the medical alarm company.
Medical alert systems should be easy to install. Most should take a matter of minutes to set up. If a system's set-up seems too onerous or complicated, then the company has not fully considered the needs of their clientele. The installation should be easy or provided free-of-charge. They should also provide long-term, 24/7 technical support.
Another element to consider is the company's history and reputation. There are companies who have been in the business of medical alert systems for decades. These companies know their business and are more likely to have proven equipment. The company that only started offering medical alarms in the past couple of years is less likely to thoroughly understand the needs of their clients. The new company is also less likely to have amassed positive testimonials – do a simple Google search to find out what others say about the company and the services offered.
How a Medical Alert System helps you?
If you are looking for a medical alert system to protect an elderly loved one, be sure to do your homework. There are a lot of companies out there that offer personal emergency response systems with a number of features and benefits that are very useful and others with serious limitations. For example medical alert phones may be a practical solution for your elderly loved one if they are comfortable with the technology and you believe that they are not in a great risk of falling in becoming incapacitated. A medical alert phone is more or less a wireless phone that you can program with an auto dial feature. It allows the user to carry the telephone around and be able to present auto dial button and be connected with friends, relatives or emergency response professionals but it does require them to be able to access the telephone, operate the telephone and communicate with the person that they're calling.
The trouble with these medical alert phones is that in the event of a sudden illness, fainting or slip and fall the elderly user may not be able to find, use or even remember that they have the phone. On the plus side, these systems are cheaper than medical monitoring systems as there is no monthly monitoring service to pay for. By getting your senior citizen a reliable mobile phone and preprogramming personal contact numbers into autodial you pretty much accomplish the same effect. We're not knocking these phones we just want to point out that while they give the user access to a telephone service remotely the system is only as strong as its weakest link.
When an elderly person falls chances are they are going to be disoriented. If they are too confused to find and operate a remote medical alert phones they will not be able to use this system to summon help.
A more practical solution is a medical alert system that can be activated using a pushbutton that is worn around the neck as a pendant or on the wrist like a watch. These medical alarm systems will allow your parent to maintain an independent lifestyle because you'll have the peace of mind of knowing that they can get help simply by pushing a button.

On May 5, 2019, wheelchair users and runners will compete side by side in one race. Everyone's in it together – exactly how it should be. The only requirement: wheelchair users need to start in a regular, everyday wheelchair. Just as Sweden's Aron Anderson did in 2015 when he became national champion after 64.82km, beating all the runners on the Sweden track.
"The Wings for Life World Run is an event for everyone. Everyone who has a regular, everyday wheelchair can take part alongside the runners", said Anita Gerhardter, Wings for Life CEO. "Of course, we would have loved to see also race wheelchairs or hand bikes on the tracks, but they are simply too fast for this kind of race format. Safety could not be guaranteed."
Everyone – wheelchair users and runners alike – will start globally at 11am UTC, and everyone will be chased, slowly but surely, by the Catcher Car. When the Catcher Car passes you, your race is over, but the fun carries on as finishers make their way back to the starting area, where everyone can celebrate in style.
Please note that the route back to the start line varies from country to country. Check for details with the local organisers.
Want to compete? You need to
Get yourself specced out, grab your friends and register for the most global race on the planet.
Let's make this something for everyone – register here

Nestled in the heart of the South Pacific, Fiji enjoys a tropical island climate year-round with most months getting up around 30°C (86 °F). A gentle trade wind often blows from the south-east to keep even the most active visitors to our shores cool and comfortable.
The high mountain ranges in the middle of the larger islands mean that some parts of Fiji get slightly more rain than others. You'll notice these 'dry' and 'wet' zones by the sudden change from grassy rocky peaks to jungle clad mountains as you fly over the larger islands.
With pleasant water temps all year round (27°C /81°F), ocean activities like swimming, snorkeling and diving can be enjoyed in all seasons. Scuba divers enjoy increased visibility around coral reefs during the Fijian 'winter' months of May - October.
When to Visit FijiAll year is perfect really!
The most popular time to visit Fiji is between late March and early December, with sunny days and a warm tropical climate offering endless options for lazing on white sandy beaches, diving beneath the waves and exploring inland.
Temperatures climb during the summer months of November to April and the brief afternoon downpours are the perfect respite from the heat.
Smaller islands typically receive less rainfall than the main Islands.

I´m having a bit of an understanding problem with a DEM TIF file. I have a DEM TIF file which is served with Geoserver. When I click on the layer the WMSGetFeatureInfo gives me the following output:
I realise that the 110.0 is the height, but what I don´t understand is why the raster field is called grey_index. The DGM was produced from a point shapefile which was then interpolated using spatialanalyst. The height field in the shapefile was called "z" so why is this then converted to "grey_index"?
For the WMSGetFeatureInfo I would like to change the field name to "Height" but how do I do this? Is this really a "Field" in the same sense as a shapefile dbf? Am I able to just change field names in raster files?
I have GDAL and ESRI libraries available if anyone can help.

Bet Girardi didn't come to Party
Yankees vs Rockies Game 1
Weather: 64 degrees, cloudy.
Wind: 9 mph, In from RF.
Attendance: 41,595
Rain…Lots of rain.
I didn't feel like I had great pictures for this game so I was going to skip this particular blog entry. However this was a Rockies win, the only one of the series and the only one in a while. Plus how often are the Skankees in town?
Although I was shut-out for BP again…. I felt like BP was as it should be. Baseballs flying everywhere and folks I know catch'n 'em. I was witness to the Rox Addict snagg'n his first two of the season while surrounded by Yankee fans gloves.
Best thing about BP is it wasn't raining…Yet.
I watched Jersey Geoff spring into action and snag Mariano Rivera's autograph while in left field.
I was also witness to the end result of an overly eager ball hawk that decided it was a good idea to crowd Jersey Geoff. A BP ground rule double bounced off the warning track then off of a glove and tagged that eager ball hawk right in the eye. (He's OK).
Folks, that's how you keep an eye out for the ball 🙂
With Joe Girardi (Skankees Manager and the Rockies first catcher) in town it was time for a group pic. Four old Rockies pretty much the same age as me. Prize for best hair hands down goes to Vinny Castilla.
Think these fellas have a few stories to tell?
I hung out with the Rox Addict most of this game, sitting just under the second level along the first baseline taking pictures and trying keep my camera dry.
It started raining early on and never stopped. Here's my buddy "Big B" and his lady center picture toughing it out in the pavilion.
Remember this guy? Chris Nelson a Yankee!…Oh well at least he'll get to play there.
Anyone else think Ichiro's eyebrows look tattooed on? This dude is still one helluva player despite the botched make-up.
Quote from Walt Weiss about Jorge: "Jorge gave up three singles — that's a big-time performance," Weiss said. "It's nice to see one of our starters go out there and pitch like he did. If we get good starting pitching like we have for the most part this year, we're going to win games."
As per usual, weather became an issue.
Cargo blasts a homer to center field and scores Rutledge…2-0 Rockies.
Quote from Cargo: "I won't lie — I was a little angry the whole game," Gonzalez said. "We've been playing in a lot of bad weather, in a lot of bad situations, but we've still got to go out there and do our best."
Well played Cargo!
I'm "D" the Ranter and give a lil props to the Rockies as this was their first shutout win at Coors Field since a 6-0 victory over the Cubs last Sept. 26.
I'll be sitting front row of the pavilion May 16-18 for the Giants series here at Coors Field with my only goal being catching a game homer. See you there…"D"
