About 350 people, including more than 260 resident volunteers, participated in Saturdays continuing search for missing 13-year-old Dylan Redwine. The organized searches focused on County Roads 240 and 501 and the areas around Lemon and Vallecito reservoirs.
Were looking for any evidence that might (help us) find Dylan, said Lt. Ed Phippen, lead investigator with the La Plata County Sheriffs Office Criminal Investigations Unit. The goal is to find Dylan alive, he said.
By about noon, 10 items of interest had been identified by searchers and were being reviewed, Phippen said. None of the items was considered of substantial value, he said.
Saturdays search effort was just the latest in a series of law-enforcement and resident searches for Dylan, who vanished from his fathers home in Vallecito on the morning of Nov. 19.
Dylan was on a court-ordered visit with his father, Mark Redwine, who was divorced from Dylans mother, Elaine, in 2007.
Dylan had flown into Durango-La Plata County Airport the evening of Nov. 18, from Colorado Springs, where he was living with his mother and older brother.
A number of Redwine family members, including Dylans parents; his brother, Cory; and family friends helped with Saturdays efforts.
Were glad to have them out here, Phippen said.
They were among the 300 who signed up in advance, as well as the nearly 100 or so volunteering from a variety of groups and agencies, some in support functions, Phippen said.
When Dylan was first reported missing, authorities thought he may have walked or run away, Phippen said. But after a few days, it was clear something was very wrong, and the investigation became more intense.
Were doing a lot better than in the first few days, he said.
We hear about these types of situations across the country, but dont expect it here, Phippen said.
Were doing the best we can with the resources we have, and now are prepared and capable of moving ahead with the investigation, he said. He said that, God forbid this happens again, local authorities will be more prepared to deal with it.
In fact, the investigation and search have blossomed, Phippen said.
When law enforcement can only go so far, we depend on the public, media and other organizations and individuals to help, he said.
Phippen said all of the local registered sex offenders had been checked out and had alibis for the 48-hour period from when Dylan arrived at the airport to the time he was reported missing.
Phippen wanted to reassure residents that the Sheriffs Office does not believe there is a sex offender abducting children from the area.
There are 144 registered sex offenders in La Plata County, according to the Sheriffs Office website; 56 of those are not named on the website. Two are shown with Bayfield addresses.
The searchers were divided into groups of varying numbers to search through certain sections of roads and trails. Some of the searches were expected to take about four hours, while others would last until 3 or 4 p.m., when searchers would start losing sunlight.
In addition to the searchers on foot along the paved roads or other routes, additional searchers were on horses and all-terrain vehicles, especially in the more difficult areas around Lemon and Vallecito, Phippen said.
Silviculturist (tree grower) Darren White came from Allison to help out. White was a member of a group led by Durango resident Clay Colvig, a volunteer with La Plata County Search and Rescue.
The group searched along County Road 240 for about two miles, eventually meeting up with another group that had started four miles away moving toward Colvigs group.
Another volunteer, Connie Allen of Vallecito, said she came to help because we know the snows coming, and we want to do everything we can to help find Dylan.
Im really impressed with the (volunteer) turnout, said Colvig, director of Colvig Silver Camps.
Another member of Colvigs group, Gail Caponi, came from Gallup, N.M., to help. Caponi had planned some activities in Durango and decided that if Dylan was her child, she would want other people to help, so thats what she did.
Phippen said the search organization began Wednesday. That includes The Edgemont Highlands-Edgemont Ranch management, which provided the Edgemont picnic area off County Road 240 for the search staging area.
Among the organizations that added their support for Saturdays search were Sheriffs Office officers and mounted patrol, La Plata County Office of Emergency Management, La Plata County Search and Rescue, County Manager Joe Kerby and other county departments, Durango Fire & Rescue Authority, Durango Police Department, the FBI, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Archuleta County Sheriffs Office, Colorado State Patrol, Durango Transit, Bayfield School District, the Southwest Colorado Chapter of the American Red Cross and others, Phippen said.
In addition to advising on the investigation, Phippen said the FBI provided two victim specialists to help the family cope with the situation.

WRIGHT COUNTY, MN David Valderrama, 29, has carried his large wooden cross more than 1,000 miles since he first began a journey that eventually brought him to Wright County.
He was spotted last Monday, just east of Howard Lake as he walked along Highway 12 through the cities of Delano, Montrose, and Waverly, heading towards Howard Lake and Cokato on his way to his final destination, Litchfield.
People are the reason for his journey, the cross is his means to draw them to Jesus, Valderrama said. He wants them to know that "Jesus loves you." As he travels, he is led by the Holy Spirit, according to Valderrama.
Walking along Highway 12, he is easily seen. Cars slow down to get a better look.
One driver, Jill Heaver of Cokato, saw Valderrama carrying his cross and pulled over to talk to him.
Heaver was greeted with a warm smile. All of Valderrama's attention was focused on her as she told him about her daughter, who was to have surgery Thursday.
She had been praying for her daughter as she was driving by, and was so moved by the sight of Valderrama and the cross, she said she had to talk to him to tell him she would pray for him.
People often stop to talk to Valderrama. Sometimes as many as 50 people will stop and talk with him in a day.
He said he has talked to thousands since he began his first journey Sept. 10, 2007, from Baltimore, MD to St. Augustine, FL, a total of 850 miles.
He has walked on his journey through the winter, as well as the summer, with insulated clothes and shoes, and now says he has spikes to make it easier to walk on ice.
He flew to Minnesota two weeks ago, starting out in Maple Grove and walked to Richmond, WI, then returned to Maple Grove.
Again he started out from Maple Grove, this time his journey led him to Wayzata and then west along Highway 12 to the spot east of Howard Lake where he spoke to Heaver.
He is originally from Tulsa, OK. In Tulsa, he said his parents and sister are praying for him during his travels.
Valderrama used to take a sleeping bag with him on his journey, but he has found that he doesn't need it.
He has always had a place to spend the night.
While he is traveling his Highway 12 route, Valderrama is staying with a Waverly family, Chuck and Peggy Vonhagen and their children, Joe, Laura, Ami, Micah, and Paul, whom he met on Friday.
When Valderrama ends his day, he is picked up by Chuck Vonhagen and spends the night in Waverly. The following morning, Chuck returns Valderrama to where he had left off the night before and he continues his journey.
"My only reason for being is that the Lamb who was slain may reap the reward of His suffering to be glorified through my life," Valderrama said.
When Valderrama reaches Litchfield, he plans to leave Minnesota by plane and fly back to Baltimore, MD to start a journey through Delaware and into Pennsylvania.
This fall, his plans include flying to South Korea to begin a journey there.

For years, science classrooms have been a battleground for supporters of teaching evolution versus creationism or intelligent design. Now, teachers may be once again caught in the crossfire as a new controversial topic makes its way into education: climate change.
Recently leaked documents http://www.livescien...ate-change.html from conservative think tank The Heartland Institute reveal plans to pay a non-climate scientist to create school curricula designed to foster doubt about the scientific evidence surrounding climate change. Meanwhile, surveys suggest that science teachers face criticism over teaching about global warming, and some states have passed legislation seeking to include anti-climate change material in the scientific curriculum. hough climate change is politically inflammatory, climate scientists are nearly unanimous that the Earth is warming and that human-created greenhouse gases are to blame. This conclusion comes from multiple lines of evidence,

SEMA Automotive Hobby Information - Can They Close Us Down?Posted in How To on December 1, 2010
The joys of off-roading include opportunities to commune with nature and bond with friends and family. Off-road clubs host clean-ups and help maintain existing trail systems, and the economies of many local communities depend on off-road activities. Despite the efforts by 4x4 recreationalists to responsibly access and use public lands, encountering a "road closed" sign is happening more and more around the country.
Can they close us down? Yes, but only if we let them. We are again at an election crossroads in which many voters are seeking "change." That's what this issue of 4 WHEEL DRIVE & SPORT UTILITY MAGAZINE is about - an opportunity to consider how actions being taken by federal and state lawmakers affect you, the 4x4 enthusiast. The need for the enthusiast community to stay informed and become involved is greater than ever. From equipment standards to "Wilderness" designations, the government is making decisions about your current and future cars, trucks, and 4x4s.
This topic is not limited to Washington. While the federal government issues national rules dictating vehicle safety and emissions equipment, most other issues are handled at the state and local levels. From suspension and vehicle height to inspection/maintenance, your 4x4 is subject to decisions made by state and local officials. States are seeking new avenues for generating revenue and new ways of dictating what you can and cannot do with your vehicles.
The future of our hobby depends on you. The ballot box is one venue for making your views known. We also urge you to work collectively with your fellow enthusiasts. How? Join the SEMA Action Network (SAN). The SAN is a partnership between enthusiasts, car clubs, and members of the specialty auto parts industry in the United States and Canada who have pledged to join forces in support of legislative solutions for the auto hobby. It's free to join and the SAN keeps you informed about pending legislation and regulations - both good and bad - that will affect your state or the entire country. It also provides you with action alerts, speaking points, lawmaker contact information if you want to support or oppose a bill, and the tools and information necessary for hobbyists to protect their passion.
The SAN has a professional government affairs staff in Washington, D.C., that works in all 50 states and at the federal level. Also in place is a full-time research staff that monitors every bill introduced in every state. In its 13-year history, the effect of the SAN on shaping government policy has been enormous. You can add your voice and vote to the fight by joining the SAN.

How Government "Wilderness" Designations Impact Off-Roaders
Road closures and other threats to off-highway-vehicle (OHV) access typically take form in federal legislation passed by the U.S. Congress or regulations issued by the U.S. Forest Service or U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The most onerous threat is when land is designated as "Wilderness." This is the strictest form of public land management because nearly all forms of non-pedestrian recreation are illegal. No mechanized equipment is allowed, and trails are limited to people who travel by foot or horseback. For everyone else, you gaze at the Wilderness from afar.
Wilderness does serve an important environmental purpose: protecting plants and animals and America's natural heritage. The question is the amount of land that needs such a restrictive designation and whether it is possible to permit some motorized activities on portions of the land. When Congress enacted the Wilderness Act in 1964, it set aside 9-million acres of land. There are now about 110-million acres and Congress may soon add another 20 or 30 million acres.
Only Congress can designate Wilderness by enacting legislation into law. There are some compromise OHV-friendly solutions when considering such bills. One is to "cherry-stem" existing roads and trails so they do not receive the designation, thereby permitting travel in a Wilderness area. Another is creating a "backcountry" designation that would permit motorized activity on certain lands while simultaneously protecting the environment.
In recent years, the anti-OHV lobby has pursued scores of Wilderness bills in an effort to lock-up as much land as possible. When these bills are rushed through Congress, however, there is little opportunity to cherry-stem existing roads and trails. In fact, the Wilderness designation is often an intentional means to force responsible OHV recreationalists off public land.
In 2009, Congress combined more than 160 separate Wilderness measures into one gigantic bill called the Omnibus Public Land Management Act. The law created nearly 2.2-million acres of new Wilderness in nine states, including areas in and around Joshua Tree National Park and the Eastern Sierras in California, Owyhee-Bruneau Canyonlands in Idaho, Mt. Hood in Oregon, Zion National Park in Utah, and the Sabinoso Wilderness in New Mexico. The OHV community is still identifying roads and trails that were swept-up in the closures, for example, the Mt. Canaan Trail in Utah.
More threats are on the horizon. The current Congress is considering dozens of other Wilderness measures which, if combined into a single bill, could encompass as much as 25 or 30 million acres of land across the country! Scores of popular OHV trails could be closed.
Most of the potential Wilderness subject to legislation has already been set aside by Congress as Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs). WSAs are millions of acres of federal lands that generally retain a primeval character, which may make them eligible for a future Wilderness designation, and the federal agencies manage them accordingly. It is important to note that Congress will "release" WSAs that do not meet the Wilderness criteria. In fact, many WSAs have roads, trails, and other evidence of human activities which should nullify that particular area as Wilderness.
Solutions For Maintaining OHV Access
Preserving America's natural heritage for future generations is vitally important and can be accomplished through managed care of the nation's public lands in a manner that balances protection and responsible recreational opportunities.
Some means by which government and users can accomplish this goal are:
• OHV policies that recognize the importance of vehicle-oriented recreation: Increased OHV use in recent years has provided the American public with the ability to enjoy public lands in record numbers.
• Case-by-case reviews of all WSAs to determine an appropriate designation that has widespread local community support. Decisions must be based, in part, on an inventory of all developments within the WSA, including roads, trails, buildings, etc., to determine whether that area meets the Wilderness criteria.
• "Cherry-stemming" existing roads/trails, a process by which they are excluded from the Wilderness area and thereby can remain open to recreation.
• Creating a new designation called "backcountry" to supplement the Wilderness designation. Backcountry would facilitate motorized recreation while still protecting the land. The designation would expand access and recreation opportunities to a large percentage of Americans who are not able to visit Wilderness areas, including the very young, elderly, and physically challenged.
• Relying on broad national guidelines combined with local management decision-making: It is important that local officials have authority to work with the public and state, federal, and tribal leaders to make appropriate decisions on OHV access.
• Involving the public in decision-making: government agencies should be required to seek the active participation of the public in the process of designating OHV access.
• Setting flexible timetables for various designations (Wilderness, OHV-use policy, etc.): The designation process is complex and may vary from forest to forest, or other federal land area. While there may be a uniform approach, the specifics must be dealt with at the local level according to the unique circumstances of each land area.
• Incorporating certain "user-created" routes: By default, the OHV designation process places the burden on the OHV recreational community to identify routes that were created in recent years that have not yet been inventoried by the USFS or BLM ("user-created" routes). Many of these routes came into existence during "open" management and serve a legitimate need and purpose, and do not pose an environmental threat. In some cases, these un-inventoried routes may even be more environmentally friendly and provide a better overall access solution than their inventoried counterparts.
• Setting defined vehicle classes and use authorizations: Vehicle classes need to be defined at the federal level so there is uniform application across the country when it comes to planning and mapping of roads, trails, etc.
Lobby For The Hobby! How To Get Involved
Our greatest tool in making a difference is our voice. By speaking out on issues that concern the automotive hobby, contacting our representatives, and working constructively with government officials, we have the power to protect our passion and keep it safe for future generations of auto and 4x4 hobbyists and enthusiasts. When legislatures are out of session, representatives are in their home districts and typically have more time to meet casually with their constituents. They are also planning for the next legislative session and deciding which bills to introduce. Contacting them now can have a tremendous influence by raising their awareness of issues that could affect our hobby during the next session. That is what makes right now the perfect time to get involved and build relationships with your legislators, so hit the gas and keep your foot down!
Here are 10 tips you can use when contacting your representatives:
1. Develop And Maintain Relationships With Your Legislators And Their Staff
Make contact and develop productive relationships with individual legislators. It is the most effective form of grassroots lobbying. It's also important to develop a relationship with their staff who monitor ongoing legislative and community initiatives.
2. Educate Legislators About Our Hobby And Our Issues
Educate your legislator about the hobby and emphasize the positive impact it has on the community.
3. Maintain A Positive Attitude
Develop a positive relationship with your legislator. The next time an enthusiast-related issue comes up, that same legislator may be needed to support your cause.
4. Stay Informed
Keep up-to-date on the legislative issues that affect the hobby in your state. Share this information with fellow enthusiasts.
5. Get Involved In The Community
Join with other community groups to build positive exposure. Holding charity runs and fundraisers provide a great opportunity to show local residents and politicians that auto clubs are a positive community force.
6. Build Relationships With The Local Media
Contact local newspapers and radio/TV stations to publicize car shows, charity events, etc.
7. Invite Officials To Participate In Your Events
Give legislators a platform to reach an audience of constituents.
8. Build An Automotive Coalition
Create coalitions to add strength in numbers and ensure that all vehicle enthusiasts are represented. Actively participating in regional and statewide councils will develop a unified message to lawmakers. These types of pro-hobbyist groups can be an influential political force.
9. Spread The Word
Take this information to your next club meeting or cruise night or post it on your online forums. Share this information with other enthusiasts who are willing to help lobby for the hobby.
10. Register To Vote
Exercise your right to support pro-hobby candidates. Constituents are an elected official's No. 1 priority. Without you and your vote of support, they would not be in office, so make sure you're registered and get out and vote.
The Congressional Automotive
Performance And Motorsports Caucus
For the past 14 years, a coalition of lawmakers who support the specialty aftermarket and recognize our industry's positive economic impact has been growing on Capitol Hill. The Congressional Automotive Performance and Motorsports Caucus is now nearing 100 members and pays tribute to America's ever growing love affair with cars, trucks, 4x4s, and motorsports.
The Caucus also helps in the development of lasting working relationships with U.S. representatives and senators who share a love for the automobile and are working to promote the growth and advancement of the auto hobby. In Washington, SEMA works in partnership with Caucus members to amplify the message among national policy-makers that the automotive performance industry is a vital engine in today's economy, employing more than a million Americans and generating $32 billion in sales annually.
A complete list of legislators who have publicly shown their appreciation for our hobby can be viewed at www.4wdsu.com.
Rep. Zach Wamp (R-TN)
"I call federal legislating 'a full-body contact sport.' What I mean is that you must be face to face with decision-makers and, to put it in SEMA terms, 'the squeaky wheel gets the grease.' You must be active and aggressive and turn people into a resource. Everyone loves cars, so make sure the Congress knows what you stand for and what you would like to have happen. If you demonstrate that a lot of people agree with your positions, Congress will respond."
Rep. Gary Miller (R-CA)
"I enjoy motorsports and high-performance vehicles. I want to do what I can to support the growing automotive performance and motorsports industry, which has many members in my district."
Sen. John Tester (D-MT)
"Whether it's fixing the clutch on my tractor or working to improve local schools or going to the Senate to help repair the energy deregulation that hurt Montana consumers, workers and businesses, I do my best work with a little grease and dirt under my fingernails."
"Car guys have every bit as much of a right to make their voices heard as the special interests and their lobbyists."
Rep. George Radanovich (R-CA)
"Automotive recreation has always been something I have enjoyed. Growing up in a small town near the mountains, [I have found that] there is always plenty of fun to be had in a truck off-road. I would love a Jeep Wrangler and the time to drive it around the ranch."
Northern Rockies
The Northern Rockies Ecosystem Protection Act (H.R. 980) invents the term "Northern Rockies Bioregion" and then uses it as the reason to outlaw any motorized activity on nearly 24 million acres of land in five States (Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming) using the Wilderness designation. If enacted, the legislation could be cited in the future as a precedent for creating other "bioregions" around the nation. A House Subcommittee held a hearing in 2009 during which opponents criticized the bill as overly broad in scope and lacking consensus support at both the local and national levels. Concerns were also raised by officials from the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) that the bill conflicts with ongoing efforts to develop land management regulations in the affected areas and presents serious conflicts with public use of the land. The bill was introduced by a lawmaker from New York and most of its 75 cosponsors represent areas east of the Mississippi River.
More than one-sixth of Utah could be off-limits to motorized recreation if Congress approves H.R. 1925, America's Red Rock Wilderness Act of 2009. The bill would designate 9.4-million acres of land in Utah as Wilderness. Most of the 168 cosponsors of the legislation represent areas east of the Rockies. At a House Subcommittee hearing in October 2009, opposition to the bill was voiced from local residents and lawmakers representing the state. Concerns were also raised by the BLM, which cautioned that current off-highway vehicle areas would be closed. The BLM manages all of the land subject to closure. The agency has not yet completed mapping or an analysis of each area to be designated as Wilderness, which would allow the BLM to make informed recommendations on Wilderness designations.
Other Bills
• Central Idaho Economic Development and Recreation Act (S. 3294) - 330,000 acres of land in Idaho
• Colorado Wilderness Act (H.R. 4289) - 34 areas totaling 850,000 acres in Colorado
• San Juan Mountains Wilderness Act (H.R. 3914; S. 2762) - 44,000 acres in southwestern Colorado
• Hidden Gems Wilderness - a soon to be introduced bill to set aside 3.5 million acres in Colorado

• Forest Jobs and Recreation Act (S. 1470) - set aside 600,000 acres while protecting timber harvesting in Montana
• Devil's Staircase Wilderness Act (S. 1272; HR 2888) - 30,000 acres in Oregon
• Tony Dean Cheyenne River Valley Conservation Act (S. 3310) - 50,000 acres in South Dakota
• Tennessee Wilderness Act (S. 3470) - 20,000 acres near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee
State Automotive Enthusiast Leadership Caucus
State legislators around the country with a common goal to support the motor vehicle hobby have joined the State Automotive Enthusiast Leadership Caucus. Celebrating its 5-year anniversary, the Caucus is a bipartisan group of state lawmakers whose common thread is a love and appreciation for automobiles. The Caucus is helping to raise the motor vehicle hobby's profile in the state legislatures and in the eyes of the public. Working in state capitals, many of these legislators have sought to preserve and protect the hobby by seeking the amendment of existing motor vehicle statutes and creating new programs to safeguard and expand the hobby.
Over the past several years, their work has brought a series of significant legislative accomplishments for the vehicle enthusiast community on issues ranging from equipment standards to registration classifications, and from emissions test exemptions to hobbyist rights. By joining the Caucus, these legislators have demonstrated their commitment to upholding the rights of vehicle enthusiasts. In addition, hobbyists are able to quickly identify which state legislators have chosen to be recognized for their support of this great American hobby. Approximately 450 state legislators from all 50 states are involved in the Caucus, led by New York Assemblymen Bill Reilich.
A comprehensive list of current caucus members can be viewed at www.4wdsu.com.

The construction of a new Life Time Fitness club in West Harrison, NY, will not be impacted by the discovery of contamination on the property of the proposed $40 million project, Life Time tells Club Industry.
Earlier this month, The Journal News of White Plains, NY, reported that some of the land on which the Life Time club will be situated is mildly contaminated with arsenic, lead, chromium and other pollutants.
The discovery of contaminates is not a new development to Life Time, says Karen Jayne Greenwood, senior public relations manager at the Chanhassen, MN-based company.
"In fact, site remediation has been an element of the proposed project from the inception of Life Time's interest," Greenwood wrote in an email to Club Industry.
Greenwood confirmed the findings of a May 4 landfill disturbance draft plan that was submitted to the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). The report, which was obtained by The Journal News, stated that a majority of the contaminated landfill consists of construction debris, household waste and sand, as opposed to volatile waste. The landfill will be covered by the 209,000-square-foot club or by the existing parking lots, according to the newspaper.
Greenwood also confirmed what the DEC told the newspaper, that the agency has approved the developer's landfill disturbance plan and that the contamination levels are generally low on the site, with a few areas of medium contamination.
"No excessive levels of contaminants have been found," Greenwood says. "Once this proposed work is completed, no ongoing remediation requirements are anticipated."
Life Time agreed to purchase the property from media company Gannett, which owns The Journal News and will move the newspaper's headquarters to another location in White Plains. Greenwood says Life Time and Gannett are reviewing closing documents related to the sale of the property and that the $40 million estimate of the sale is accurate. A grand opening schedule for the club has not been announced.

A Penn State DuBois partner in education and training, The Marcellus Shale Education Training Center (MSETC) at the Pennsylvania College of Technology is officially changing its name to ShaleTEC. TEC is meant to stand for Training and Education Center, and the new name is thought to be more inclusive of the current and future industry expansion into other shale and tight sand formations beyond Marcellus Shale.
Located inside Penn College's Center for Business & Workforce Development, ShaleTEC provides a centralized location for industry, students and the public to obtain information regarding shale and tight sand workforce-development initiatives. It features participation from Penn College and Penn State Extension, which has provided workforce development analysis, economic needs assessment and training services since 2008. Since its inception, ShaleTEC, formerly MSETC, has also trained more than 8,500 people in natural gas related courses. These courses have benefited employees currently working in the oil and natural gas industry as well as individuals seeking a career change including the unemployed.
Penn State DuBois partnered with ShaleTEC last year, in efforts to bring their quality training programs to DuBois and the surrounding area. Interim Director of Continuing Education at Penn State DuBois John Blasdell said, "As an affiliate of ShaleTEC, Penn State DuBois acquires expanded curriculum and instructional capability needed to train and educate existing employees of gas companies, and those who want to enter the natural gas industry." He explained that students who enroll for Marcellus Shale training programs at Penn State DuBois will have access to a wide range of resources offered at ShaleTEC, which addresses a multitude of training and educational needs of the natural gas industry.
The ShaleTEC name will extend the reach of the initial MSETC throughout the entire Appalachian Basin including Ohio, West Virginia, New York and other emerging plays throughout the United States. Penn College also has several affiliate agreements with other Penn State campuses across the Commonwealth with plans to enter into additional agreements with training providers in Ohio and New York. Through these affiliates, ShaleTEC is able to offer its comprehensive list of courses across a broader geographical area to better serve the oil and natural gas training needs of local employers and residents. Customized courses can also be developed to meet the specific training needs of an employer and offered on-site if preferred.
"This continues Penn College's commitment to support the various workforce-development needs of the natural gas industry," said Penn College President Davie Jane Gilmour. "As shale activity and the natural gas industry continue to expand and evolve in the Appalachian Basin, Penn College and its strategic partners are committed to providing the infrastructure and support services required to serve the area's workforce needs."
According to Tracy Brundage, Assistant Vice President for Workforce and Economic Development at Penn College, "The rebranding of the Center is critical to our outreach efforts in the Appalachian Basin and beyond. Our new name allows us to better market our services and programs to stakeholders beyond the Marcellus play. The Center provides a centralized point of contact for natural gas workforce-development initiatives and information. We have many program offerings, as well as funding, to offset the workforce-training costs associated with training industry personnel and individuals pursuing a career with this exciting new industry."
"In addition to the Marcellus, at least five other shale zones are actively being explored in Pennsylvania today," said Thomas B. Murphy, co-director of the Marcellus Center for Outreach and Research at Penn State. "The value of workforce research and training programs available through the Shale Training and Education Center reach well beyond the Marcellus. Having a one-stop location for all shale and tight sand workforce needs is certainly key to providing a skilled workforce and meeting local employment demand."
For more information on ShaleTEC, workforce and economic analysis on the oil and natural gas industry and available courses, visit www.ShaleTEC.org or call 570-327-4775.

Man Fakes 'Bingo' Then Returns $400 Jackpot
What has 100 balls and screws old ladies? This guy.
Bingo brings out the worst in humanity. The competitive thrill of shouting "BINGO!" when finding out you've won is unlike any feeling known to man. Elderly men and women bask in the glory of playing and winning this game but the fact that a western Pennsylvania man cheated, claimed to have bingo and collected the prize jackpot while playing at Mary Mother of Hope's parish hall about an hour outside of Pittsburgh is downright right despicable.
The lying, cheating, stealing bingo player cashed out the $400 jackpot before the workers at the parish hall had checked his card to confirm that he actually won. So there is some culpability on their part.
Once the error was detected, the cops were called and then dispatched to the thief's home. He was faced with the choice of accepting a theft charge or returning the money. He chose the latter. The man's identity was withheld since he returned the $400.
The moral of this story – With the possibility of winning $400, we've got to start going to bingo.

gettimeofday, settimeofday - get / set time
#include <sys/time.h> #include <unistd.h> int gettimeofday(struct timeval *tv, struct timezone *tz); int settimeofday(const struct timeval *tv , const struct timezone *tz);
gettimeofday and settimeofday can set the time as well as a timezone. tv is a timeval struct, as specified in /usr/include/sys/time.h: struct timeval { long tv_sec; /* seconds */ long tv_usec; /* microseconds */ }; and tz is a timezone : struct timezone { int tz_minuteswest; /* minutes W of Greenwich */ int tz_dsttime; /* type of dst correction */ }; The use of the timezone struct is obsolete; the tz_dsttime field has never been used under Linux - it has not been and will not be supported by libc or glibc. Each and every occurrence of this field in the kernel source (other than the declaration) is a bug. Thus, the following is purely of historic interest. The field tz_dsttime contains a symbolic constant (values are given below) that indicates in which part of the year Daylight Saving Time is in force. (Note: its value is conŁ stant throughout the year - it does not indicate that DST is in force, it just selects an algorithm.) The daylight saving time algorithms defined are as follows : DST_NONE /* not on dst */ DST_USA /* USA style dst */ DST_AUST /* Australian style dst */ DST_WET /* Western European dst */ DST_MET /* Middle European dst */ DST_EET /* Eastern European dst */ DST_CAN /* Canada */ DST_GB /* Great Britain and Eire */ DST_RUM /* Rumania */ DST_TUR /* Turkey */ Saving Time is in force cannot be given by a simple algoŁ rithm, one per country; indeed, this period is determined by unpredictable political decisions. So this method of representing time zones has been abandoned. Under Linux, in a call to settimeofday the tz_dsttime field should be zero. Under Linux there is some peculiar `warp clock' semantics associated to the settimeofday system call if on the very first call (after booting) that has a non-NULL tz arguŁ ment, the tv argument is NULL and the tz_minuteswest field is nonzero. In such a case it is assumed that the CMOS clock is on local time, and that it has to be incremented by this amount to get UTC system time. No doubt it is a bad idea to use this feature. The following macros are defined to operate on a struct timeval : #define timerisset(tvp)\ ((tvp)->tv_sec || (tvp)->tv_usec) #define timercmp(tvp, uvp, cmp)\ ((tvp)->tv_sec cmp (uvp)->tv_sec ||\ (tvp)->tv_sec == (uvp)->tv_sec &&\ (tvp)->tv_usec cmp (uvp)->tv_usec) #define timerclear(tvp)\ ((tvp)->tv_sec = (tvp)->tv_usec = 0) If either tv or tz is null, the corresponding structure is not set or returned. Only the super user may use settimeofday.
gettimeofday and settimeofday return 0 for success, or -1 for failure (in which case errno is set appropriately).
EPERM settimeofday is called by someone other than the superuser. EINVAL Timezone (or something else) is invalid. EFAULT One of tv or tz pointed outside your accessible address space.

CARE Dose4D in Cardiac Scanning
On our CT scanners there are several techniques available to scan with the lowest dose. One of them is CARE Dose4D. CARE Dose4D adapts the tube current (mAs) to the patient's size based on the Topogram. The tube current will be automatically lowered for slim patients and will be increased for more obese patients. The advantage is that it is not necessary to adapt the tube current for every patient. The image quality is set by the Quality reference mAs/rot of an average sized patient. The tube current will be adapted if it is necessary to keep the image quality constant. All the Siemens default protocols for cardiac scanning use CARE Dose4D and deliver the correct parameters for an excellent cardiac scan. In customized protocols, check the scan sub-task card to be sure CARE Dose4D is switched on (marked in red on the image).

hiegl needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 158 designs submitted by 32 freelance designers.
International Studienkolleg Mainz
The International Studienkolleg of the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz (Germany) is a preparatory facility which aims to prepare prospective students with foreign school-leaving certification for specific university major courses of study.
It aims to provide foreign student applicants whose foreign school-leaving certification does not comply with prerequisites for admission to a German university, with supplementary instruction and courses (usually for 2 terms = 1 year) to enable them to gain the additional knowledge and language skills required for their university courses of study. This instruction is particularly relevant to the beginning (undergraduate) phase of the intended university study.
The International Studienkolleg fulfills the purpose defined above for all the universities of the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate (Germany).
Note: Recently we are strongly committed to strengthen e-learning and web based learning throughout all our curricula.
Key terms: preparatory school, university, study, international, foreign applicants, admission, e-learning, cultural contact
Coding could possibly be commissioned later with the winning designer. We plan to use Wordpress and/or Joomla as CMS. An integration with Moodle and a Wiki is also planned.
There will be opportunities for future work for the winning designer and others, who we feel do exceptional work.
- Foreign students interested in application for studies at german universities;
- Parents of the above students;
- Principals, headteachers and teachers of foreign schools;
- Visitors e.g. from other Studienkollegs, universities and federal state governments.
The "International Studienkolleg Mainz" is located in its own building close to the campus of the university. It is structured like a small-size school i.e., head, secretary, teachers (~ 25), instructors, janitor, students (~ 150 from about 20 foreign countries)
The website should have several functions:
- Provide our current students with all information about courses, dates, exams and living in germany/mainz.
- Provide foreign students, their parents and school principals with a complete info about what we offer.
- Description of the aims of the Studienkolleg and its structure.
- Detailed info about subjects, courses and learning material provided here
- Providing the teachers with info about meetings, lectures and conferences
- News section (teaser on frontpage?)
- Internal area (login) for the members to exchange information and documents
- Contact info, probably Newsletter
- Info area for our e-learning offerings viz. our e-learning platform (moodle)
Sites, the client likes:
Have a look here: http://www.sfb295.uni-mainz.de/hieg…ienkolleg/
Tagline: Not decided yet, use "Prepare for university" for now.
Final version should be submitted in fully layered Photoshop format easily convertible into a functioning HTML page.
The old site is here: http://www.uni-mainz.de/studienkolleg/
We require a homepage design and at least one subpage. Submit your design for the homepage first, and we will let you know if we would like you to continue with the subpages.
We like clear and concise designs with a fresh and modern look. No color theme decision yet, while we prefer a lively design using lucid color and images. We rely on your creativity! Whitespace is key.
I will give some favourite example sites later.
Keep in mind, that our students love social networking (Facebook et.al.).
Nice icons and Web 2.0 features (e.g. RSS) could be considered. We prefer sophisticated over too much bells and whistles.
Maybe a grid-based layout and an inspiring photo or image but nothing that needs too heavy(!) JavaScript when coded.
A tabbed area may be usefull in the main content or a sidebar.
Central blocks or info boxes could be titled:
- Why Mainz
- Latest News
- How to apply
- Learning online
Menu items could be:
- Home, About us, Application, Admission, Courses, Schedule, Exams, Community, E-Learning
- News, Newsletter, Help, Contact
- Membership option/area and login form
- Language changing option (German, English)

Garlic & Shallots

Spring Essentials
Pluots® are some of the sweetest fruits (with 16-24 Brix) which is probably why Pluots® dominate the Dave Wilson Nursery Taste Tests. The Pluot® is "interspecific," a complex hybrid of 70 percent plum, 30 percent apricot. Smooth-skinned like a plum, the Pluot® is sturdy and durable with luscious plum flavor and a hint of apricot. It has the chin-dripping juiciness of a fully ripe plum without the notoriously tough tart skin and the astringent center typical of the parent plum.
Semi-dwarf on Citation rootstock (except Splash on standard Myro-29C can reach about 15'-25' un-pruned). These semi-dwarf trees will reach 3/4 of standard (about 8'-14'). Trees are 2 years old, and should begin to fruit in their 4th or 5th year.

Donald Sterling's racist remarks threatened to unravel the National Basketball Association's post-season via a player boycott had the league not taken the stringent measure to ban the Los Angeles Clippers' owner from the NBA for life, ex-player Magic Johnson said Wednesday.
Pointing out how well the Clippers responded in a playoff game Tuesday night, winning against the Golden State Warriors at the Staples Center in L.A., Johnson said that game might not have taken place had NBA Commissioner Adam Silver been more lenient.
"If the decision hadn't come down the way it did, you wouldn't have seen that game last night or any other NBA playoff game," Johnson told an audience at the Milken Institute's Global Conference in Beverly Hills.
Silver banned Sterling from the NBA for life, fined the Clippers' owner $2.5 million and said he would assemble a meeting of other NBA owners to vote on forcing him to sell the team.
"It was the best thing. It was a great decision. It had to be done," Johnson said. "He made the only decision that he could make, which is to ban Donald Sterling."
Johnson's comments came as potential buyers of the team started to line up. Johnson, who also holds a stake in the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team and the Los Angeles Sparks women's basketball franchise, is considered to be one possible suitor.
"We'll see what happens. I will be owning an NBA team some time," Johnson said. He added the prospect of the Clippers being put up for sale is a long way off, but he might consider a purchase with his associates at Guggenheim Partners.
"We're just waiting to see what we're going to do" Johnson said. He added one of his goals is to bring a National Football League team back to Los Angeles, which has been without one for two decades.
Reports said Wednesday that talk show maven Oprah Winfrey is looking to team up with record magnate David Geffen to possibly buy the team, and boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. may also be in the mix.

Entertaining: Special Birthday Party, with Recipes
A special luncheon celebrates cancer survivors
Recipes in This Story
Raspberry Champagne Cocktail
Yellow Pepper Soup with Yogurt and Cucumber
Halibut with Green Beans and Tomato Relish
Almond-Orange Chiffon Cake
For a special group of women, birthdays just get better and better. It's not their number of years on earth that these women are celebrating but how many they have spent as cancer-free survivors of one of women's worst enemies--breast cancer. That was the idea Traditional Home senior style editor Krissa Rossbund had in mind when designing a space in Manhattan's Holiday House designer showhouse benefiting Susan G. Komen New York. "I created a space for entertaining where the showhouse founder, Iris Dankner, could toast her 14th cancer-free birthday," says Rossbund. "It wasn't a party that celebrated one day--rather life and the second chance at it."
Dankner took the idea further. Each friend on her guest list is a breast-cancer survivor. "We marked the placecards with numbers--the number of years or, in one case, months, since each woman was pronounced cancer-free," explains Rossbund. Even the gift wrap on party favors picked up the defeat-cancer theme. A pink Swarovski crystal pin of the familiar breast cancer logo brought rosy bling to lavish ribbons. The healthful menu also stayed on point with a pink designer cocktail and a finale of almond-orange chiffon cake.
The space itself, while free of in-your-face color, does pivot on pink accents. "Plenty of the party's elements subtly referenced the breast cancer cause," says Rossbund. "It was more important that this room be warm and comforting than pink, but that doesn't mean that there wasn't room for some girly and fashionable moments." Case in point: a shapely pink boucle-covered chair that, to women who love to shop, emits just a whiff of a classic Chanel fabric.
To make those moments count, Rossbund kept to an otherwise neutral palette that included a tone-on-tone herringbone on the sofas, Farrow & Ball ivory paint on the walls, ink art instead of paintings, and antique Wedgwood in the secretary. Finding the right color for the walls was a struggle, because natural light was blocked by taller buildings. "Ivory by itself wouldn't have looked right, but this neutral soaked up the reddish tones of the rug to give the room a gorgeous blush."
Absence of pattern was a must for the rug. "The rough, organic texture kept the room from being too precious," Rossbund says. Plus, the pink shows well against the gray-brown hickory flooring by Shaw Floors.
Except for the antique fireside stools and Chippendale secretary, all furnishings are from Henredon. "I wanted lots of curves to underscore the room's femininity," she says, noting the shapely sofa arms as well as the rounded backs of the armchairs. "The table's large scale begged for substantial, fully upholstered seating--nothing too leggy or twiggy," Rossbund explains. Chair skirting provided coverage with no loss of feminine charm. The large dining table met the space's criterion for scale, but its round shape ensured easy intimacy for Dankner's friends. "Round tables are friendlier," suggests the editor.
A high ceiling was another spatial challenge. Rossbund prevailed by positioning a pair of tall vintage mirrored obelisks in front of the windows and a pair of old white-and-gold-painted panels on either side of the fireplace. Circa Lighting's modern take on a crystal chandelier puts the room in good light.

September 18 - December 15, 2007
Bits and Pieces: The Collage Impulse includes thirty-three artists whose work explores contemporary collage techniques. Papier collé (pasted paper) first became a significant art form in the early 20th century with the work of Pablo Picasso and George Braque. Its influence was felt in movements throughout the 20th century - Futurism, Constructivism, Dada, Surrealism, Expressionism, and Pop Art. Collage, with its simplicity of means, continues to evolve in the work of contemporary artists. Often including "found images" and discards from daily life, collage strategies continue to embrace a broad range of materials and techniques.
Reconstructing and building imagery from bits and pieces marks the work of each of the artists in this exhibition. The materials range broadly from lottery tickets (Yunsook Park) to Post-It notes (Mary DeVincentis) and include illusionist portraits made from money (C.K. Wilde and Mark Wagner), cut paper shapes applied directly to the wall (Beth Gilfilen), surfaces of stitched paper and cloth (Elisa D'Arrigo), and playful, freely-associated images clipped from cartoons and children's books (Brian Belott, Sue Johnson, Alejandra Villasmil). Bits and Pieces also includes fragmented video stills (Jessica Mein), geometric photomontages (Elaine Norman), Surrealist narratives (Caroline Golden), and compositions with glitz and glamour (Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt).
Bits and Pieces: The Collage Impulse, curated by Susan Hoeltzel, is supported with funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and JPMorgan Chase Foundation.

When Masculinity Harms Men
95% of incidents of violence in India are committed by men. The final episode of Season 3 examines why this is the case and how deeply-entrenched notions of masculinity affect attitudes towards women. The episode also helps explain the larger violence we witness in society, be it in incidents of road rage, ragging or acid attacks. It explores how fixed notions of masculinity are shaped and how they victimize not only those at the receiving end, but men themselves as well.
On youtube:
Guest profile:
How masculinity ends up crippling men, depriving them of expressing normal human emotions like love, pain and vulnerability is the focus of this segment. Five men originally from the U.P.-Haryana regions talk about how they were taught by their own families to suppress their instincts and conform to a certain stereotype of being male and how this manifested in their behaviour.

Following weak box office performances for re-releases of "Monsters, Inc.," "Finding Nemo" and "Beauty and the Beast" in 3-D, Walt Disney Studios has canceled plans for a 3-D "The Little Mermaid" in June.
The underwater animated hit from 1989 was the fourth and final 3-D re-release for which Disney announced plans in late 2011 after "The Lion King" proved a surprise hit in the format, grossing nearly $100 million in the U.S. and Canada.
But "The Lion King" turned out to be an anomaly, as the three follow-ups grossed far less. "Beauty and the Beast" took in $47.6 million last January, "Finding Nemo" $40.7 million in September, and "Monsters, Inc." only $30.5 million since its Dec. 19 release.
Though 3-D conversions cost only a few million dollars each, those weak box office performances are not enough for Disney to justify the marketing expense of a nationwide release.
Disney had already begun work on the 3-D conversion of "The Little Mermaid" in November, the studio's animation chief creative officer, John Lasseter, said in an interview at the time.
Disney also announced release plans for several other movies Monday.

Built on 40 years of experience
More than 40 years of Jülich competence in solid state physics, thin films, surface and interface physics and material sciences have been combined in the Peter Grünberg Institute (PGI).
Two theoretical and seven experimental divisions of the former Institute of Solid State Research (Institut für Festkörperforschung, IFF) and of the former Institute of Bio- and Nanosystems (Institut für Bio- und Nanosysteme, IBN), which emerged from the Institute of Surface Research and Vacuum Physics (Institut für Grenzflächenforschung und Vakuumphysik, IGV) and the Institute of Thin Film and Ion Technology (Institut für Schicht- und Ionentechnik, ISI), have joined forces and together they have set up the Peter Grünberg Institute.
PGI is named after Peter Grünberg, who was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2007 with Albert Fert. The two scientists were honoured for discovering the giant magnetoresistance effect which is used in millions of computer hard drives today and led to the emergence of the field of spintronics. The Peter Grünberg Institute builds on the recipe for success created by the famous scientist.
The institute is linked to RWTH Aachen University through the Jülich Aachen Research Alliance (JARA) sections "Fundamentals of Future Information Technology (FIT)" and "High Performance Computing (JARA-HPC)".

Goose giving Dunga dilemma
RIO DE JANEIRO - Brazil coach Dunga is coming under increasing pressure to include Santos youngsters Neymar and Paulo Henrique Ganso in his World Cup squad after the pair's electrifying performances for Santos this season.
With Brazil heavily dependent on out-of-form Kaka for creativity, many feel the pair should be given a chance by Dunga after scoring 10 goals apiece in helping Santos top the Paulista championship.
Forward Neymar, 18, has already been likened to Robinho thanks to his dribbling and was even reprimanded for show-boating by Corinthians forward Ronaldo after his side were on the wrong end of his skills.
But it is left-footed midfielder Paulo Henrique - known additionally as Ganso (Goose) because of his lanky build - who has really caught the eye, not least because he plays in the creative midfield role Brazil have found increasingly difficult to fill.
The 20-year-old's delicately lobbed goal against Monte Azul last month had the air of former World Cup captain Socrates about it.
Although Dunga's Brazil are lethal on the counter-attack, they have struggled to break down teams who pack their defences as shown by the dire 0-0 draws at home to Bolivia, Colombia and Venezuela in World Cup qualifiers.
"The national team doesn't have a creative midfielder, just Kaka," said newspaper columnist Alberto Helena Junior in a television programme.
Brazil's 1970 World Cup captain Carlos Alberto Torres told the same programme: "I would take both of them, without any fear. They both know how to play football. The national team is the place for the best, you have to take them.
However, Pele pointed out that the two have shone only in the Paulista championship, a season-opening contest of a generally weak standard.
"This Santos team has never played a South American side, they have never had to play in Argentina or Uruguay or Paraguay, and they haven't played in Europe," he said.
"This type of experience is important for a World Cup and they haven't had it."
Carlos Alberto Parreira, who led Brazil to World Cup victory in 1994 and a disappointing quarter-final exit in 2006, said there was not enough time to test them internationally.
"Neymar and Ganso have great potential, but Dunga is the one who knows the right moment to pick them," the current South Africa coach told reporters in Brazil where his team have been preparing.
"It's awkward for a coach to take a player to the World Cup without having tested him. Without a test, you don't know how a player will respond on the pitch."

some quotes :
A pesky fly keeps buzzing around Jim Carrey's head, but he barely notices.
"I think when you get to the so-called top and you realize that it doesn't fill you up, you start looking for other things that will,"
And generally, where you land is spirituality. One of my favourite things to do, and I'm not perfect at it at all, is to try and point myself in a direction that will lead me to a place where I'm really like an open receiver for that God energy, or whatever you want to call it."
"I'm into clarity," he explains. "I really love clarity. I love knowing that when I laugh it's real, and when I work, it's mine. And I keep honing my life. Some people think I'm psychotic about it, but it really works for me."
"I have one coffee a day now rather than seven
I'm a Capricorn-Aquarius cusp. Besides Muhammad Ali, the other people born on my birthday are Andy Kaufman, Stanislavsky, Benjamin Franklin and Al Capone. And when you think about it, they're all troublemakers, but in a fun way — except for Al Capone, of course. And I'm sure he was fun to his friends. He was fun to play baseball with, apparently."
Thanks for information! I can take info only here Thanks!!!
"I really want to love somebody. I do. I just don't know if it's possible forever and ever." JC

With more than 25 years' of service to the sector, our success is built upon our experience, resulting in software that is both easy to learn and pleasant to use. We ensure the resilience, high performance and future sustainability of our systems by employing Microsoft SQL database technology.
Adlib products readily integrate together to build an organisation-wide information management solution which is both efficient and comprehensive. Our software offers a completely 'open' platform for managing and publishing collections data, which includes multi-lingual operation and support for all relevant data standards.
Adlib's flexibility is almost legendary. The adaptable nature of our applications means that they can be configured by the (trained) user to deal with almost any eventuality, however unusual. This also means that your investment in software is protected against unforeseen requirements that may arise in future.
These unique qualities have firmly established Adlib as the system of choice for more than 1,600 archives, libraries and museums throughout the world, from private collectors to the most prestigious national institutions.
