Investigators are asking the public for help after a series of suspected arson fires in the region: two fires within an hour of each other in Antioch on Monday night, and an unrelated porch fire at a Concord home Saturday morning.
No one was injured in the blazes.
The first Antioch fire started about 9 p.m. Monday in a trash can in front of the Antioch Library at 501 W. 18th St., Contra Costa Fire Protection District investigator Vic Massenkoff said. Two males, possibly juveniles, ran from the scene and were chased for a couple of blocks by a fireman before getting away.
About an hour later, another trash-can fire broke out in the 500 block of West 20th Street, and eventually spread to and damaged a van, Massenkoff said.
The second fire was reported in the area the suspects from the previous fire were last seen, Massenkoff said.
"It's suspicious," he said.
Investigators did not identify the suspects or put out a detailed description.
Arson also is suspected in a fire set on porch at a Concord house Saturday, Massenkoff said. That fire, in the 1300 block of Joan Court, was set just before 6 a.m. and caused approximately $3,000 in damages.
Massenkoff said it originated when someone set fire to wicker furniture on the porch, but when a coffee table fell over and glass shattered, the occupants were alerted and got out of the house.
"The fire was starting to break through the front window of the kitchen, so they were fortunate to wake up," Massenkoff said. "It appears to be random. Normally in something like this it's not, but we can't find a reason why this house would've been targeted."
Anyone with information or who may have seen people in the vicinity of these fires is asked to call 925-941-3300.

Adding Style & Clean Air: Stunning Living Green Wall
Last year, Vancouver design studio Green Over Grey created the largest living green wall installation in North America at the Semiahmoo Public Library in White Rock. This year, they unveiled a stunning new living green wall at Edmonton International Airport, likely to be the largest such installation in any airport.
The 1,420-square-foot vertical garden is installed as a triptych in the main terminal and features 8,000 plants representing 32 different species. Most of those species have been proven by NASA to improve indoor air quality by drawing pollutants and CO2 from the air and returning fresh oxygen and moisture. The added humidity from the living walls is a bonus, as the air in Edmonton tends to be dry.
The living wall is completely hydroponic and installed over waterproof eco-panels made from post-consumer food-grade plastic (such as milk jugs, plastic bags, etc). The moss filling the spaces in between plants is made from recycled fibers from the textile industry.
A sharp eye might recognize the smaller side panels as representations of two famous Canadian paintings (Tree Forms by Emily Carr and Unnamed Abstract by Donald Flather). The design of the larger center panel was inspired by cirrus cloud formations.

Donations for homeless generate warm response
Much effort has been expended to provide warmth and comfort to the homeless seeking shelter in the Sunnyvale Armory via the "One Warm Scarf" campaign.
They thank you, and I thank you, for all your efforts. The warm items came just in time for the extreme cold weather. Be assured that all the future warm items you make will be delivered directly to our homeless.
Many thanks to all those who donated the yarn. Please note that there is always a need for more yarn.

Rotary Club continues Mandela's AIDS work
With the recent passing of Nelson Mandela, we recognize his efforts in the struggle against AIDS.
Michael Sidibe, head of UNAIDS, the United Nations' HIV/AIDS agency, said Mandela was "a statesman who had AIDS at the top of his agenda, and he used his stature and presence on the global stage to persuade world leaders to act decisively on AIDS. His legacy will be felt by generations."
Since 1989, the Rotary Club of Los Altos has also been working to combat AIDS. In fact, we're the first Rotary Club in the world to focus attention on the AIDS pandemic.
We're also the first service club in the world to receive the prestigious Peabody Award for Broadcast Excellence (for our attitude-changing AIDS documentary "The Los Altos Story"). Generous response to fundraising efforts had made these projects possible.
While awaiting final approval from The Rotary Foundation for our third grant for Child AIDS Prevention in Liberia, we look forward to our next big effort: helping Los Altos resident and Rotary Club member Allart Ligtenberg launch Child AIDS Prevention in Nepal.
You can help by including the nonprofit Los Altos Rotary AIDS Project in your year-end giving. Make a tax-deductible donation online (rotaryAIDSproject.org) or by check (Los Altos Rotary AIDS Project, PO Box 794, Los Altos 94023).
As Nelson Mandela said on World AIDS Day 2000, "Give a child love, laughter and peace, not AIDS."
Thank you for the important Rotary service your contribution will enable.
Marlene Cowan and representatives of the Los Altos Rotary AIDS Project
Something missing from letter?
After reading the Town Crier letter from Myra Orta ("Bullying starts with the parents," Dec. 11), I realized that there was some vital information that had been omitted.

I applied to both and have been accepted to both but I would really like some more information about what the programs are really like! I realise there are a few old posts but things change, new faculty members etc Thanks in advance Back to top timothypfoxJoined: 20 Feb 2008Posts: 492 Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2012 1:56 am Post subject: I will give my 2 cents worth about MA TESOL programs in NY. Take it or leave it since I do not have experience with the schools you mention in question. I did an MS TESOL at City College of the City University of New York through the New York City Teaching Fellows. The Master's cost me around $4000 because it was heavily subsidized by New York City, and gave a lot of assistance certifying me as a public school teacher in ESL and then placing me in a public school. I could work and study at the same time as a full salaried teacher. Both Columbia and NYU effectively would yearly tuitions that are 2000 to 3000% more expensive (assuming the NYC Teaching Fellows still subsidizes at the same level). But, if cost is no issue it is informative to know that most professor I studied with trained at Columbia University or NYU. So, if your aim is to be a professor at least in New York City - these 2 universities are a good way to go. If you do the more affordable public school route without the teaching fellows, you can still get quite affordable tuition and finish your studies with a PhD if you are so bound at the Graduate Center at the City University of New York. If money is no issue, sorry for making you read my post! Back to top scintillatestarJoined: 19 Oct 2009Posts: 74Location: New York, NY Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 6:14 pm Post subject: I go to Columbia, so I can only speak for this program. I enjoy it a lot. I've found all of the classes I've taken within my department to be very good. I would recommend the TESOL or Applied Linguistics tracks. I am doing TESOL with the optional K-12 state certification. For me, Columbia was also quite a bit cheaper ($15,000-$20,000) than NYU, as the tuition was lower and fewer credits were required. I don't go to NYU, but I've heard that it's considered more "practical." I got the CELTA before I started, so I actually felt that I needed additional grounding in the language. The last poster is correct; most professors and university lecturers in NYC went to either NYU or Columbia. I currently work at NYU and credit the program for helping me get my job. If you want to go this route, I would recommend one of these two programs. NYU has a good reputation worldwide, but I believe that Columbia's is even more well-respected. However, unless you have a trust fund or huge savings, it's a big financial commitment. There are places and/or school around the world when you can work tax-free and rent-free and pay it down. Back to top VecchiaJoined: 05 Jun 2009Posts: 54Location: Sao Luis, Brazil Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2012 11:53 am Post subject: Thanks for the reply. I visited both universities for tours and I had a chat with a couple of faculty members. I found TC to be more organised, open and helpful so I've accepted to go there. Although the Ma tesol seems to be more theoretical rather than pedagogical at TC, I noticed you can supplement your course with breadth modules whilst also having reasonable freedom for the research project. Also, I felt a real community spirit at TC! Yes it is very pricey but I genuinely believe it will open more doors for me in the future.

|In the Matter of
Marvin Moses,
The Securities and Exchange Commission deems it appropriate and in the public interest and for the protection of investors that administrative proceedings be instituted against Marvin Moses ("Moses" or "Respondent") pursuant to Sections 15(b) and 19(h) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act").
In anticipation of the institution of these proceedings, Respondent has submitted an Offer of Settlement ("Offer") which the Commission has determined to accept. Solely for the purpose of these proceedings and any other proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Commission or in which the Commission is a party, and without admitting or denying any of the findings contained herein, except as to the jurisdiction of the Commission over him and over the subject matter of these proceedings, and the matters set forth in paragraph II. 1. below, and the entry of the injunction set forth in paragraph II. 3. below, which are admitted, Respondent consents to the entry by the Commission of this Order Instituting Public Administrative Proceedings Pursuant to Sections 15(b) and 19(h) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings and Imposing Remedial Sanctions ("Order").
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that proceedings against Respondent be and hereby are instituted.
On the basis of this Order and the Offer, the Commission finds that:
1. Before May 1, 1995, Moses was not registered with any broker or dealer registered with the Commission. From May 1, 1995 until April 27, 1997, Moses was a registered representative with a broker-dealer registered with the Commission, although he was not authorized to sell the securities described below.
2. On September 24, 1998, the Commission filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, SEC v. Marvin Moses, et al., Civil Action No. 98-1964-CIV-T-26F (M.D. Fla. 1998) (the "Complaint"), against, among others, Respondent. The Complaint charged Respondent and others with violations of certain provisions of the securities registration, antifraud and broker-dealer registration provisions of the federal securities laws, by, among other things, offering and selling $3.3 million of unregistered International Capital Corporation 2000 ("ICC 2000") investment contracts from at least 1994 through 1997 and making misrepresentations and omissions of material facts. The Commission's complaint alleged that Respondent and others had represented that a) ICC 2000 investment contracts were secure and risk-free because investor funds were deposited and maintained in bank accounts; and b) that ICC 2000 provided invested funds to "Major Brokerage Companies" as collateral for the purchase of Guaranteed Insurance Contracts. In fact, investor funds were not secure and risk free because investor funds were withdrawn from the bank accounts in which they had been deposited and used to pay off earlier investors, to pay sales commissions, and to pay for personal expenditures of other individuals involved in the sale of ICC 2000 investment contracts. No investments in GICs were ever made. None of the ICC 2000 investment contracts sold by Respondent were ever registered with the Commission.
3. On May 24, 1999, without admitting or denying any of the allegations contained in the Commission's complaint, except as to the Court's jurisdiction over him and the subject matter of the complaint, Respondent consented to the entry of a permanent injunction. On June 8, 1999, the Court permanently enjoined Respondent from future violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.
Based on the foregoing, the Commission deems it appropriate and in the public interest and for the protection of investors to accept the Offer submitted by Respondent, and accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, that:
Respondent is hereby barred from association with any broker or dealer.
By the Commission.

CRESTVIEW �The FamiliesFirst Network of Lakeview invites area motorcycle enthusiasts to participate Sunday in the 15th Annual Toys For Kids Motorcycle Run.
CRESTVIEW �The FamiliesFirst Network of Lakeview invites area motorcycle enthusiasts to participate Sunday in the 15th Annual Toys For Kids Motorcycle Run.
Motorcyclists will meet at the Crestview Wal-Mart parking lot, where they can go inside and purchase an unwrapped toy.
Shortly after registration, participants will leave for a scenic route of Crestview, ending at the Crestview Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5450 on James Lee Boulevard.
VFW members will provide lunch to participants, who can win raffle prizes donated from local businesses.
FamiliesFirst works with the Department of Children and Families to assist with the foster care system.
Many of the donations assist foster parents who struggle to provide a Christmas for children in their care, Mary Culbertson, a family services counselor, said.
"This takes the burden off them; it allows them to worry about taking care of the other necessities," she said.
There is one goal for the event: �make sure (foster children) have a great Christmas," organizer Ken Payne said.
Funds raised from the raffle go toward the purchase of items not donated. Last year's raffle raised more than $5,000, Culbertson said.
''We could not pull this off without the community's sponsorship," she said.
WHAT: The FamiliesFirst Network of Lakeview�s 15th Annual Toys For Kids Motorcycle Run
WHEN: Registration is 9:30-11 a.m. Sunday
WHERE: The motorcycle run begins at the Crestview Wal-Mart parking lot, 3351 S. Ferdon Blvd. The run will finish at the Crestview VFW Post 5450, 2240 W. James Lee Blvd.
COST: $10 donation and a new unwrapped toy

News & Views from the World of Browsers
In this report we look at the overall influence the browser is having on new companies building and developing solutions for the next generation of browser-based or web applications. It used to be that normal development of an application would be based on the computer's operating system or more of a client server configuration. This used to be the norm, but these days any new development coming out seems to be browser-based in its architecture. Why is this? Has the desktop application lost its mojo? In this report we look at a few different companies taking full advantage of the browser and why they designed their applications web-based versus client server or a traditional server-side application.
One of the growing industries that we first identified with a tremendous amount of development happening is in the ecommerce space. One company that we interviewed from the ecommerce space was Lead Commerce. They have a web-based application or ecommerce software solution but took it a step further leveraging off of today's "Cloud" technology. The development team for Lead Commerce commented that it made total sense to build their application as a browser-based back office primarily due to the fact that a good portion of companies and small businesses are now using the Cloud for a handful of different services -- all of which are accessed through the browser. Examples they provided include Gmail for Businesses, CRM software by Salesforce.com and more. According to Lead Commerce it just made perfect sense to follow in the path of these leading businesses and provide an ecommerce solution architected the same exact way.
Other companies are also taking to the web and the browser to allow anyone anywhere to access their data and get work done. Another industry we looked at which has recently begun to go browser-based is payment processing. Today, you can now run a virtual terminal to process credit card transactions for your business on mobile devices and tablets. Companies like payment processing startup Square.com are leading the way for a highly connected, browser-based processing experience where merchants can process transactions and access all of their reports via an online portal. Truly innovative.
Every way you slice it, the browser we have always imagined has truly become the new Operating System. It will be interesting to see how it's used next.

The new owner of an industrial portfolio in Oakhaven has filed a $6 million loan through PNC Bank NA on the properties.
Operating as 4895-4995 Outland Center Drive LLC, real estate investment companies Denver-based Amstar and Atlanta-based Huntington Industrial Partners filed the deed of trust, assignment of rents, security agreement and financing statement March 6. That was two weeks after it paid $11.8 million for the properties.
The partnership bought the following seven properties: 4895 Outland Center Drive; 4900 Outland Center Drive; 4900 Outland Center Drive; 4935 Outland Center Drive; 4985 Outland Center Drive; 4995 Outland Center Drive; and 5000 Outland Center Drive.
The sale closed in a Feb. 21 limited warranty deed with Outland Center Drive LP as the seller. That entity acquired the portfolio in 2006 for $15.8 million.
Two of the seven parcels are classified as accessory improvements. The other five were built in 1988 and 1989, and include roughly 400,000 square feet on about 28 acres and have an appraised value of $9 million, according to the Shelby County Assessor of Property's 2012 data.
Built in 1988, the 35,200-square-foot property at 4895 Outland Center Drive sits on 4.8 acres and has an appraised value of $767,400.
Built in 1988, the 33,932-square-foot property at 4900 Outland Center Drive sits on 5.4 acres and has an appraised value of $970,500.
Built in 1988, the 102,656-square-foot property at 4935 Outland Center Drive sits on 7.2 acres and has an appraised value of $2.3 million.
Built in 1989, the 99,625-square-foot property at 4985 Outland Center Drive sits on 4.7 acres and has an appraised value of $2.2 million.
And built in 1989, the 122,824-square-foot property at 4995 Outland Center Drive sits on 5.7 acres and has an appraised value of $2.7 million.

The leader of the steering committee of school administrators making schools merger recommendations to the countywide school board may be leaving.
Tim Setterlund, Shelby County Schools assistant superintendent, is one of seven finalists to become superintendent of the Oak Ridge, Tenn., school system.
The Oak Ridge Schools board hopes to make its selection at the end of March or sometime in April.
The national search in Oak Ridge began in July.
Setterlund, the former principal of Collierville High School, became superintendent John Aitken's assistant superintendent of research, planning and transition in December 2011.
Aitken resigned this week as superintendent in a contract buyout approved unanimously by the countywide school board.
Setterlund's departure would be a second blow to the merger efforts, which are reaching a critical stage less than five months before the first day of classes for the consolidated school system.
Setterlund has been leading the team of administrators who review merger recommendations from the consolidation planning commission and then present the steering committees recommendations to the board for their action.

Duncan-Williams Inc. has tapped Jim Cherry, a 15-year veteran of the financial services industry, to be the firm's new chief compliance officer.
As such, he'll be responsible for reviewing, analyzing and evaluating risk assessment across all business units. He also will oversee the compliance program for the firm's broker-dealer and registered investment adviser and serve as the firm's regulatory liaison.
Cherry joined the firm's compliance department in 2009 as director of fixed-income compliance and later served as director of private client group compliance.

The Memphis-Shelby County Economic Development Growth Engine board has approved a five-year tax freeze for TJX Cos. Inc., which is opening a new distribution center in Memphis.
The company's tax incentive will be used to help it complete the project, which will include creating 40 jobs here and investing almost $7 million. The retail and home furnishings company owns and/or operates under brand names such as T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods, and it recently signed a lease for 414,076 square feet at Chickasaw Distribution Center Building D, 6100 E. Holmes Road, suite 101.
The company's goal is to boost its local employment eventually to 117 full-time positions.
Imagine Vegan Café has found a new home about three blocks east of its current location in Midtown's Cooper-Young neighborhood.
The family-friendly, 100-percent vegan café's last day at its current 2156 Young Ave. location will be Friday, March 29. Imagine hopes to re-open its new location at 2299 Young Ave. at the corner of East Parkway and Young by Friday, April 5, if inspections go as planned.
"We kind of wanted this place to be like you're walking into our house for dinner," Kristie Jeffrey said. "We're moving into a house, it's just fantastic. It really is going to be like our second home."
Chef Kristie Jeffrey and her husband, Adam Jeffrey, opened Imagine in April 2011 in the old Casablanca space. The new location is a bungalow house built in 1912 that formerly housed Fork It Over Catering space.
Kristie Jeffrey said Imagine's landlord at 2156 Young, listed as Brown Family Revocable Trust and Larry McCulley with the Shelby County Assessor of Property, wanted to either raise Imagine's lease by 10 percent or terminate its lease.
Jimmy Lewis with Rasberry CRE handled the deal for landlords Jay and Michelle Campbell.

Mayors from Mississippi River communities are joining with members of Congress to draw attention to the waterway and the needs of communities dotting its banks.
About a dozen mayors from communities big and small were in Washington on Thursday to announce formation of the Mississippi River Platform. The goal is to raise awareness of issues such as water quality, community development and drought and flood preparation.
The mayors, members of the Mississippi River Cities & Towns Initiative, will work with the newly formed Mississippi River Caucus. That's a bi-partisan group of members of Congress.
The river attracted a lot of attention over the winter when drought caused it to dip near record low levels between St. Louis and Cairo, Ill. Barges were forced to reduce loads and traffic was nearly halted.

A measure of the U.S. economy's health over the next six months increased in February from January, a sign that growth could be improving.
The Conference Board said Thursday that its index of leading indicators rose 0.5 percent in February to 94.8. That followed an equal gain in January, which was revised higher. The gauge is designed to anticipate economic conditions three to six months out.
The increase was also more broad-based, with eight of its 10 components rising. That compared with only five in January and six in December.
A gain in housing permits, a longer manufacturing workweek and rising stock prices were among the elements that drove the index higher. Lower orders for large manufactured goods and lower consumer outlook for business conditions limited the gain.
The economy "may be developing some resilience against headwinds from ... federal spending cuts," Ataman Ozyildrim, an economist at the Conference Board, said.
A steady recovery in housing and rising job gains could be offsetting the cuts, he added. Automatic government spending cuts of $85 billion kicked in March 1, though their impact may not be felt until April and May when layoffs at government agencies and contractors will likely start.
The index is derived from data that for the most part have already been reported individually.

Hillary & Katherine's Favorite Things For October
From saucy stationary to an incredible monogramed clutch, here are the ten things we're totally excited about this month!
It ($22) by Alexa Chung
As long-time supporters of all things Chung, we're quite excited for her first foray into the publishing world. Her new book, It, features a hodgepodge of musings, photos, and drawings that you won't want to miss. The book's just as offbeat and cool as its creator and is a must-have addition for every fashionphile's coffee table.
Valentino Garavani My Own Code Clutch ($1945)
Monogrammed things are our fashion kryptonite, so naturally we're swooning for this sleek, understated clutch. Most exciting of all: Valentino boutiques will adorn the hand strap with your initials, so that everyone knows this bag is 100% yours.
United Bamboo 2014 Cat Calendar ($50)
Does it seem too early to think about 2014? Perhaps, but you can soften the blow by being one of the first to pick up United Bamboo's 2014 cat calendar, which debuts on the brand's website today. Even better: if you order it this week, the Noah Sheldon-photographed, ridiculously cute calendar ships for free. Done and done.
Model of the Moment: Kassi Smith
Thanks to Fashion Month, we had models on our minds, and are particularly keen on one in particular: the full-browed Kassi Smith. We recently shot the LA-based model for an upcoming campaign—watch this space—and think she's definitely a rising star. (Our pal Jenn Camp of Le Fashion agrees!)
Derek Blasberg x Paperless Post Collection
Modern-day Miss Manners, best-selling author and editor, and handsome man-about-town Derek Blasberg knows a thing or two about parties and etiquette, and his new collection of cards for Paperless Post is nothing short of genius. Featuring a selection of winking, wonderful bon mots for everything from birthday invitations to thank you notes, the collection can be sent virtually or via snail mail, and is sure to be a hit. (Prices range from approximately $30 for 100 virtual cards to $185 per 100 cards with envelopes, if you go for the print version.)
Homeland (Showtime, Sundays at 9 p.m.)
There are only a handful of TV shows that we equally adore, and topping that list is Homeland. Season Three started this past Sunday night, and it's already full of twisty, duplicitous plot turns galore. If you haven't gotten hooked yet, we highly suggest downloading the first two seasons and having a good, old-fashioned TV binge. Claire Danes is a revelation—she just won another Emmy for her performance on the show—and we promise you won't be disappointed.
Hunter + Rag & Bone Boots ($295)
What happens when Kate Moss' favorite maker of wellies teams up with the Rag & Bone boys? The coolest two-tone rain boots a girl could ask for, available in both a blue/black color scheme and army green. (Note: a shorter style was also produced.)
Of all the up-and-coming designers who created buzz at NYFW, there's one we're really keeping our eyes on: Tanya Taylor. Already worn by Moda Operandi's Lauren Santo Domingo and Jessica Alba, Taylor's currently-in-stores fall collection is sophisticated, with hints of a seventies vibe, and full of standout pieces, like a glimmering moto jacket.
L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara ($9)
As self-proclaimed mascara mavens, we're thrilled L'Oreal is releasing a new version of their very beloved Voluminous Mascara. The new product—Voluminous Butterfly—gives you the volume you'd expect, but a new asymmetrical wand helps emphasizes your outer corner lashes, for a "winged-out effect."
The year's most anticipated collaboration might not hit stores until next month, but thanks to recently released images from the collection's lookbook, we're already making our wish lists.

By David Small, Director of Communications and Air Force Affairs
The 2010 National Defense Authorization Bill conference report was passed by the Senate last night. The bill will now go to the President for signature. Below is a synopsis and analysis of items included in the bill of interest to the Reserve Officers Association Air Section.
Report on the procurement of 4.5 generation fighter aircraft: The bill contains a provision that would report on various aspects of potential procurement of 4.5 generation fighter aircraft. This is a reflection of Congress' stance that the Air Force's investment strategy of transition to a smaller, more flexible, lethal and capable strike fighter force will be challenging. As the Air Force implements that strategy, Congress expects the Air Force to analyze the viability of procuring additional 4.5 generation fighter aircraft under a multiyear contract, specifically looking at F–15s, F–16s, and F–18s that have advanced radar, data-link and avionics capabilities and the capability to deploy advanced armaments. The Air Force has been very vocal in the past about not funding 4.5 generation fighters; however this was previous to the decision to end the F-22 production line this summer. Chief of Staff of the Air Force Gen Norton Schwartz said "Why would I want to dissipate a limited pool of resources on a 4.5 generation fighter, when I can purchase a fifth generation platform?" Procurement of 4.5 generation fighters will significantly affect the Air National Guard. While the ANG does not currently support such an acquisition, their stance is primarily to stay in line with the total force opinion. Gen Wyatt might as well have crossed his fingers and winked when he spoke at the AFA Symposium on this topic, leaving the audience to understand he really wouldn't mind some 4.5 generation fighters!
Aircraft funding authorizations:
- $192.3 million, for F-22s modifications.
- $440 million, to support the contract for the KC-X air tanker program
- $319 million for 8 Joint Cargo Aircraft
- $358 million for 4 C-130Js
- $437 million for 5 CV-22s.
F-22 export version: Okay, I'm cheating by putting this topic in here because it wasn't mentioned in the Authorization bill, but might be a part of the Appropriations bill if the Senate has its way. Question for readers: Should the Air Force be burdened with the acquisition and development of an export version of an aircraft they couldn't buy more of when they have so much else on their plate? What is the benefit? It would keep the F-22 line open to bridge the fifth generation fighters until the JSF is in full production, but is that worth it given other acquisition priorities?
Limitation on retirement of C–5: The NDAA contained a provision preventing the Air Force from retiring any C–5 aircraft until certain conditions are met regarding the operational testing of the C-5 Reliability Enhancement and Reengining Program (RERP). They also want to see the economic and risk analyses leading to any decision to retire these aircraft. Read ROA's resolution regarding the modification of C-5s. The bill does not change the Air Force's current strategic airlift force structure from the 316 (213 C-17s and 111 C-5s) aircraft on the books, even though the Defense appropriations bill will purchase between 3 (House) and 10 (Senate) C-17s. This language has significant implications for the Guard and Reserve who fly the oldest C-5 aircraft, which are the last in line for the RERP program. This inclusion is a first step toward the Air Force's ability to retire these aircraft and replace them with the expected additional C-17s proposed in the appropriations bill.
Next generation bomber aircraft: The bill declares the United States support to develop next-generation bomber technologies. Read ROA's resolution regarding a new heavy bomber. Really? for something that was nicknamed the 2018 bomber, I should hope we had been a little further along with this program before the SECDEF put the kabash on it last April.
C-130 Aviation Modernization Program: Couldn't find it? That's because it wasn't included. Despite ROA's resolution advocating the need to continue this program, the Congress did not authorize money toward it this year. Read a more in depth blog about this topic by clicking here.
F-35 Alternative Engine: The NDAA contained funding for the General Electric-Rolls Royce F136 engine as an alternate to the Pratt & Whitney F135 that currently powers the F-35. The Air Force has publicly stated it does not support an alternative engine. The Administration has said the alternate engine might engage a veto, but CQ Today reports that the President Obama now may sign the policy bill with the F136 funding intact—waiting to kill it through the spending bill that will follow shortly. Who will fall on their sword first?
National Guard and Reserve Equipment: This section authorizes $600 million ($150 million less than last year) for NGREA, in stark contrast to the currently proposed Senate appropriations bill which includes $1.5 billion and its House counterpart with only $500 million for this account. That number, broken down, stands to provide $135 million to the Army Reserve; $70 million each to the Air Force and Navy Reserve; $50 million to the Marine Corps Reserve; $1 billion to the Army National Guard and $175 million to the Air National Guard. These figures are over double last year's numbers. We are currently waiting to see the conference report on the appropriations bill, but it is unfavorable to see a reduced authorization. Read ROA's resolution regarding NGREA.
Manpower: The authorization bill increased the Air Force Reserve by 2,100 billets to coincide with the significant increase in the active duty end strength. Additionally, the number of Air Reserve Technicians and AGR billets in both the Air Guard and Air Force Reserve increased considerably over other services in reaction to the active duty end strength change. Apparently the browbeating to increase the size of the Reserve concurrent with the Active Duty increase worked. Gen Stenner will add nearly 4,000 billets over the next three years if we stick to the current presidential budget plan.

|Lord Mayor's Day
It had been a chilly night in Whitechapel but the day promised to be fair and full of fun. After all, it was November 9th the day of the annual Lord Mayor's celebrations. But the day would not bode well for some.
|Thomas Bowyer
|Window to Kelly's Room
Just before 11 a.m., Thomas Bowyer knocked on the door of 13 Miller's Court, the flat where Mary Jane Kelly lived. He had been sent to pick up the rent money she was six weeks behind on. When there was no answer, Bowyer peered in a window - and discovered Kelly's mutilated corpse lying on her bed. She would be the final victim of England's notorious Jack the Ripper.
|Mine Explosion
|Limerick, Ireland
Mary Jane Kelly or Marie Jeanette, as she was sometimes called, was born in Limerick, Ireland in the early 1860s of well-to-do people, or so she said. Nothing is really known of her family or upbringing. She married a coal miner named Davies around 1879 but he died in a mine explosion a couple of years later.
|Joseph Barnett
Kelly claimed to have lived with family until she began working as a prostitute in the early 1880s. She told of being taken to France to live as a courtesan but said she did not like the country and returned to England. She lived with several men in the East End before moving in with Joseph Barnett in 1887.
|Billingsgate Fish Market
Barnett worked at Billingsgate Fish Market for a time, but when he lost his job, Kelly began to turn tricks again. After an argument about another prostitute staying with them, Barnett moved out of the room they shared in Miller's Court on October 30th, just ten days before her body would be discovered there.
|Mary Jane Kelly
Mary Jane was a quiet woman when she was sober. She could sometimes be heard singing Irish ballads, but when she was drunk she could become quarrelsome, even violent.
|George Hutchinson
On the night of November 8th, Kelly was seen taking a man into her room around midnight. Then about 2 a.m. local laborer George Hutchinson met her coming down the street. She asked him for a loan of sixpence. He refused, telling her that he was broke. Hutchinson watched as she approached another man, one he described as being of "Jewish appearance." He followed them to Kelly's room and stood watch until almost 3:00 a.m.
|Kelly and a Stranger
Three days after Kelly's murder, Hutchinson provided police with a very detailed description of the man he had seen her with – down to the color of his eyelashes – although it had been a dark winter night.
The police were divided on whether Hutchinson could be the Ripper. Inspector Fredrick Abberline questioned him and felt he was telling the truth.
Assistant Commissioner Robert Anderson believed that Hutchinson knew too much about what had happened and considered him a suspect. Many believed Hutchinson had made up his story and description just to get attention, and possibly be paid for his story by the press.
Two women living in the house reported hearing a faint cry of "Murder" around 4 a.m., but being that they were in Whitechapel, neither investigated it.
|13 Miller's Court
Police finally broke into her room at 1:30 p.m. and discovered the true extent of the mutilations. The abdominal cavity had been emptied, the breasts sliced off, and the face hacked up beyond recognition. Blood was everywhere. The remains of a fire that had melted solder on a pot still smoldered in the fireplace.
|Mary Jane Kelly
Mary Jane's body was taken to a mortuary in Shoreditch where Dr. Thomas Bond and Dr. George Bagster Phillips examined it. The time of death was said to have occurred between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m. Phillips said that the mutilations took about two hours to perform.
Barnett identified her by recognizing "the ear and the eyes."
|Shoreditch Town Hall
An inquest was held on November 12 at Shoreditch Town Hall and lasted one day.
|Dr. Bond
Phillips stated that she was killed by a slash to the throat and was cut up afterwards. According to Dr. Bond the murder was not committed by someone with any medical skills, "In each case the mutilation was inflicted by a person who had no scientific nor anatomical knowledge. In my opinion he does not even possess the technical knowledge of a butcher or horse slaughterer or a person accustomed to cut up dead animals."
Mary Jane Kelly was buried on November 19, 1888 at St Patrick's Roman Catholic Cemetery in public grave number 66, row 66, plot 10. Joseph Barnett and her landlord John McCarthy attended the funeral. In the 1950s, Mary Jane Kelly's grave was reclaimed. A plain marker was put in the vicinity of the grave in the 1990s.
This ended the murder spree of Jack the Ripper. It has been 125 years since that terrible autumn of 1888. Although many suspects have been identified, no one has ever been undeniably determined to be Jack the Ripper, Britain's most notorious serial killer.

The Wood, Morgan and Burnett force is making rapid progress on the highway job between Hallar Camp and Cortez. And when completed this apparently is going to be the finest section of road in the basin. The distance along this route will be reduced considerable and the driving time cut in half. The long sweeping wye at the intersection of the road with No. 666 east of Cortez is a big improvement over the old connection, which a stranger was bound to miss.
Decorating with electric light at Christmas time is a custom that is increasing in popularity in all parts of the country. The growth of this cheerful method of expressing the seasons greetings has been due chiefly to the fact that electric lighting is decorative, bright and offers a great flexibility in design.
Construction work on a logging road from the foot of the hill at the mouth of Dry canon to the top of the mesa, a distance of about five miles, will start at once, according to information received from McPhee. The work will be done with the big steam shovel, belonging to the Salee Construction Co., which has been left standing along the railroad near Bear Creek. The shovel was used by the contractors in the building of a section of the Dolores-Rico highway. The work of taking up the steel rails and ties of the old logging railroad has been going ahead for several days.
Forty-five thousand dollars to complete the last section of highway No. 160 between Hallar camp and Mancos is all Montezuma County can expect next year, according to plans of the highway advisory board which adjourned last week.
Mrs. Jim Trimble and sister, Mrs. Marie Good, were callers in Dolores Tuesday.

KnowledgeBase 00035: Panning and Scrolling in the Query Processor
The QM query processor includes useful features to pan reports that are wider than the screen and to scroll back through pages of a report.
Developers sometimes have to juggle field display widths to get the columns required in a report to fit the screen. The pan feature of QM's query processor allows a report to be wider than the screen, panning all or part of it to show the columns of interest by use of either the horizontal cursor keys or the letters L and R.
Panning is controlled by use of the PAN keyword in a query sentence. If this keyword appears either before or after all display clause elements, all columns are panned. If the keyword appears part way through the display clause elements, the items before it are fixed, panning only the later data columns.
How often have you paged down through a lengthy report and gone past an item of interest? With the scroll feature of QM's query processor, you can move back up to earlier pages of the report.
Scrolling is enabled by including the SCROLL keyword in the query sentence. When running in scrolling mode, the query processor recognises the cursor up key or the letter P to show the previous page, cursor down or the letter N to show the next page, or a page number followed by the return key to move to a specific page.
Automating Pan and Scroll
If panning or scrolling is required as standard for all reports, the keywords can be included in the $QUERY.DEFAULTS VOC record.

This climate climate zone covers from about 44°N to 50°N latitude mostly east of the 100th meridian in North America. However, it can be found as far north as 54°N, and further west in the Canadian Prairie Provinces and below 40°N in the high Appalachians. In Europe this subtype reaches its most northerly latitude at nearly 61° N. Areas featuring this subtype of the continental climate have an average temperature in the warmest month below 22°C (22°F). Summer high temperatures in this zone typically average between 21-28°C (70-82°F) during the daytime and the average temperatures in the coldest month are generally far below the -3 °C (27°F) mark.
The Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this climate is "Dfb". (Warm Summer Continental Climate).
The average temperature for the year in Lincoln is 41.0°F (5°C). The warmest month, on average, is July with an average temperature of 69.0°F (20.6°C). The coolest month on average is January, with an average temperature of 10.0°F (-12.2°C).
The average amount of precipitation for the year in Lincoln is 16.2" (411.5 mm). The month with the most precipitation on average is June with 3.2" (81.3 mm) of precipitation. The month with the least precipitation on average is January with an average of 0.5" (12.7 mm).

The big headline out of the International Energy Agency\'s annual World Energy Outlook Monday is the projection the U.S. will overtake Saudi Arabia in oil output in less than a decade.
The forecast comes as the U.S. has reversed its declining oil production with domestic oil output from Occidental Petroleum , Devon Energy , Chesapeake Energy Corp. , Southwestern Energy Co. and many others.
Just as the U.S. kicked off the oil industry in Pennsylvania more than 100 years ago, it\'s a pioneer once again, unleashing vast amounts of oil from fields such as the Eagle Ford of Texas and the Bakken of North Dakota with newer techniques such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.
With the potential to deploy these practices to boost oil output around the globe, the push for renewable energy is losing out in the competition for government support.
The same IEA report also said fossil fuels attracted about $523 billion in government subsidies in 2011, up by 30% from 2010. That compares to $88 billion for renewable energy. The heaviest subsidies typically take place in parts of the Middle East and Africa, the study said.
While the IEA projects renewables such as wind and solar will move to the world's second-largest source of power by 2015, it\'s warning that a major shift away from fossil fuels won\'t happen in the next 20 years. For environmentalists hoping to cut the world\'s output of carbon dioxide in an effort to reduce global warming, this isn\'t encouraging.
\"Many governments and businesses are clearly in denial over the threat posed by climate change and need to accept that we have to start leaving fossil fuels in the ground rather than dashing to develop new reserves,\" said Keith Allott, head of climate change at the WWF U.K.
But with rich short-term returns from the sale of fossil fuel and the developing world demanding more, all signs point to increased oil production for now.

Thomas Hicks Nursery is enjoying its new, visible location on Highway 98. And passersby are enjoying the festive view provided by the pumpkin patch, complete with a haystack scarecrow.
"This is our third year doing the pumpkin patch," said manager Kathy Slay.
The patch is regularly restocked with pumpkins hailing from Chipley.
Scouring a local patch for the perfect pumpkin is a fun event for families. Walking through the patch earlier last week was Hazel Rae McCormack, with her dad Jody. He patiently waits for the toddler to pick her favorite pumpkin.
"We always visit here for pumpkins," Jody said.
Paying at the counter, Slay immediately recognizes Jody and asks about the rest of the family.
"All of my customers mean a lot to me," she said.
That is the difference between visiting a local pumpkin patch versus a cardboard bin at a mass retailer.
"It's fun for the kids to load them on the wagon," Slay said. "We're planning to have events and activities for kids to participate in soon."
Supporting local businesses such as Thomas Hicks Nursery is like supporting your community. A couple weeks ago, the nursery donated pumpkins for a local church to use for decorations. In it's 30 years of serving Northwest Florida, the nursery has regularly donated goods to local organizations.
The nursery also offers plenty of other items to style your house for the holidays such as small, mixed gourds, corn stocks and Indian corn, and wheat straw � perfect for hay rides.
Thomas Hicks Nursery is located at 5061 U.S. 98 W in Santa Rosa Beach, right across from 98 Bar-B-Que. For more information, call 267-0202.

Leveraging the power of digital insurance is no longer simply about incorporating technologies into the organization. It's about reinventing the insurance organization—and the culture within it—to drive innovation, to drive change, to drive the business into the next generation.
Disruptive digital strategies are still emerging, but the proactive insurers that take the next few years to carve out their places in newly forming digital ecosystems will be those that define their own destiny. The question for every insurer is this: Can you lead your people to get there?
