Physical Improvement of Community Service Facilities
Preferences ||| Conditions ||| Activities
These activities provide capital and related costs for the acquisition and/or improvement of buildings used by human service agencies for the delivery of social and recreational services to the CDBG target population. They include acquisition of shared facilities, rehab of such facilities, or the improvement of their accessibility or code compliance. These activities address Objective K in the Five-Year Plan and generally benefit lower income households with incomes of 80% of the median or less.
The Commission will target its funds toward the capital expenses of acquisition of property, and/or renovation of the facilities of agencies which can document that a minimum of 51% of their customers are low- and moderate-income persons, and that a minimum of 51% of their customers are city of Madison residents. The acquisition or rehab may lead to lower longer-term space costs, the improvement of physical accessibility, the encouragement of service coordination, or may improve environments for the delivery of service.
The 2007 target goal is to help three agencies acquire or rehab their properties, or to meet the National Americans for Disabilities Act benchmark standard of physically accessible services.

Warner Park Community Recreation Center (WPCRC)
In 1998, the CDBG Commission obtained a $3.2 million loan from HUD to support construction of the WPCRC. The City will use a portion of the 2007-2008 CDBG funds to repay the annual loan payment.
The Commission will continue to work with Parks representatives to ensure that the WPCRC will be operated as a place where residents of all ages, income groups and backgrounds can come together to learn, recreate and socialize, and serve as a focal point for the community.
The City will provide funds only for the following activities, according to the table below.
|Maximum % of Project CDBG Will Fund
|New Construction, Acquisition, Expansion of Existing Building
|Maintenance or Rehabilitation
(roof, furnace, painting)
The City may vary the amount of assistance based upon activity need, agency capacity, degree of relationship to Program Framework objectives, and availability of resources.
For agencies acquiring or renovating their own property, the City will provide assistance in the form of a non-recourse, deferred payment loan that will be due and payable upon the sale, transfer, or change in use of the property. The CD Office will secure deferred loans with a promissory note and a mortgage on the property, with repayment to be equal to the amount of CDBG (or ESG) funds invested or the percent of appraised value which the CDBG funds represent in the property, whichever is greater. Deferred payment loans to neighborhood centers shall include a City option to purchase the property or to find another agency to operate the activity.
For agencies renting space, the City may provide up to $25,000 as a ten-year (the approximate period of depreciation for many improvements) forgivable loan, unless the property owner will secure the loan with a mortgage on the property. Agencies renting space will be asked to provide a ten-year lease from the owner instead of a mortgage on the property.
for owner agencies are limited to a cumulative outstanding total
secured CDBG/ESG assistance of $150,000 per property. Agencies
renting space are limited to a cumulative total of $25,000. Assistance provided
prior to January 1, 1999 will not be counted toward the maximum secured
City will not fund activities smaller than $5,000, except in the case of ESG
In the interest of
promoting longer-term maintenance and planning, the City will limit agencies to one application per property in a three-year
Funds to address this objective are available through the Acquisition/Rehab Reserve Fund.
Ongoing / currently funded activities in this category include:
City CDBG: Acquisition/Rehab Fund
City Department of Planning and Development / City Parks Division: Warner Park Community and Recreation Center
Continuing activities approved in prior years include Wexford Neighborhood Center's expansion and Atwood Community Center's transformation of an historic foundry, as well as the expansion of several Community Action Coalition community gardens.

Large ring as nova remnant ?
Metryq wrote:
Depends on one's definition of a nova, doesn't it? Meanwhile, Birkeland's experiments with the terrella generated toroidal plasma rings. Besides, the "rings" of novae are imagined to be an optical effect—the outer edge of a spherical bubble seen from a distance. The big ring around Saturn is a ring or torus, not a sphere.
Saturn's icy moons, as well as its famous rings may only be hundred million years old, suggesting they formed during the reign of many dinosaurs.
This would date the formation of the major moons of Saturn, with the exception of more distant Titan and Iapetus, to the relatively recent Cretaceous Period, the era of the dinosaurs.
"So the question arises, what caused the recent birth of the inner moons?" Cuk wondered. "Our best guess is that Saturn had a similar collection of moons before, but their orbits were disturbed by a special kind of orbital resonance involving Saturn's motion around the Sun. Eventually, the orbits of neighboring moons crossed, and these objects collided. From this rubble, the present set of moons and rings formed."
Pan is one of Saturn's shepherd moons, clearing out a 200-mile-wide space in Saturn's rings known as the Encke Gap.
In January, during a flyby of Daphnis, another of the shepherd moons, Cassini was able to successfully take only one photograph.
Cassini took this image of Daphnis, a 5-mile-wide moon, in January. Daphnis' gravity also opened a gap in Saturn's rings and created the scalloped wave pattern at the ring edges. Credit NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute

GripGrab's Windster Cap is a good option for winter riding. Keeping your head and ears warm can be a challenge when cycling at this time of year and the Windster has a windproof front panel with good insulation around the head that should give you a head start (sorry) when it comes to staying warm.
I've been really impressed with GripGrab's gloves and overshoes, and the trend for high quality and well designed products continues with the Windster Cap. Rather than a one size fits all approach, it's offered in four sizes (though wiggle only list three size) covering head sizes from 51 to 62 cm circumference. Fit then was excellent and it wrapped around the head and over the ears with no tightness or restriction. There is also a ladies' version.
Pull a helmet over the top and you barely notice it, it simply disappears. You just notice how well it keeps the cold wind off your head. The soft microfleece material is stretchy and just fits perfectly, and the sides come low enough to cover up the ears. I would like to see the windproof panel at the front extended higher, so there's better protection from the air passing through the helmet's air vents.
We've tested many skull caps on roadcc and the GripGrab sits at the top-end in terms of performance. It also sits somewhere in the middle of the range of prices you can expect to pay, from the expensive Castelli WS Skully at £28 and the Ride Aquazero at £8.99. And because GripGrab is exclusively distributed by Wiggle in the UK, they're already discounting from the RRP - they're currently offering 10% off.
Comfortable, well fitted, and above all top performing skull cap when it comes to keeping your head warm.

Gerry and Jerry are pronounced the same way.
Student or Learner
[Gerry = Jerry in pronunciation]
Gerry | Define Gerry at Dictionary.com
[Gerry = pronounced as /geri/]
Which's correct ? thanks a lot
Gerry and Jerry are pronounced the same way.
Of course a person can pronounce his own name as he wishes, but if I saw Gerry I would start with the Jerry pronunciation.
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
Thank you all,
While Chicken Sandwich and Barb_D think Gerry is pronounced the same way as Jerry,
5jj thinks it should be pronounced as /geri/.
So, I'd draw the conclusion that both are possible as native English speakers pronounce this 'name' differently.
Thanks a lot again
The main difference in the answers in the thread so far is that 5jj was referring to "Gerry" as a surname and everyone else has been referring to the first names Jerry and Gerry.
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.
It's like John Paul Getty keeping his boat at the end of a jetty.

Two Republican senators made a major effort to strip 10,500 visas for Irish from the 2013 immigration bill at the Senate Judiciary hearings on Tuesday.
Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa and Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama both sought to remove the E3 provision and claimed that it was gross favoritism towards the Irish.
However, Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the architect of the bill, defended the provisions pointing out that the Irish had lost out heavily after the 1965 Immigration Act. Judiciary Chairman Senator Patrick Leahy pointed out that the provision in the bill was introduced jointly last year by Senator Scott Brown, a Republican.
No other Republican argued against the bill which meant it had an effective overwhelming majority in the committee.
That means that the E3 provision in the bill is now very likely to form part of the final version in the senate. It would take a supermajority of 60 votes to bring it back up on the floor which is highly unlikely.
It is still not clear if the House version of the immigration bill, if there is one, will have an E3 provision. The Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform is carrying out a major lobbying effort this week in Washington DC to win support.
Other countries such as South Korea, Canada, and Poland also have special country specific provisions in the bill. Australia was granted 10,000 E3s every year since 2005. The E3 is a non immigrant work visa renewable every two years.
Below is the transcript of the exchange on Ireland.
Sen. Grassley: Then I will ask a question on the part dealing with Ireland. It singles out Ireland to provide particular benefits with regards to the visa application. I'd like to have somebody explain the rationale for changing our immigration system to benefit one particular country and why did the Irish get their own allocation for visas and why are these workers not required to have any of the skills or education beyond high school?
Sen. Schumer: We've had provisions for Irish immigration in legislation for 15 or 20 years because of the special relationship between Ireland and America. In fact, one of the persons who pushed this was somebody who was a leader in immigration, Senator Kennedy. And what it does is you have to have 2 years of training or experience or work experience. What we're trying to here is be fair. Lots of country gets lots of immigrants because the family relationships are close. Many of the people who came from Ireland don't have parents or children there, they have second cousins and third cousins. We've had the Donnelly visa program in 1988, the Morrison visa program of 1992, the Diversity program of 1994, that all recognized these. As you know, because of the request of many, the diversity program is ending and this is a substitute for it.
Sen. Leahy: Is this, if I might, is this similar to what former Senator Scott Brown in the Republican caucus had proposed earlier a couple years ago?
Sen. Schumer: Exactly.
Sen. Leahy: Thank you.
Sen. Sessions: Mr. Chairman, I remember that discussion with Senator Brown and I could find not a principled basis to support that provision and I don't find one now in principle.

Im trying to find the best way (and best math curriculum) to teach my 10yr old son who is easily distracted in school work. He fidgets and day dreams. He does better some times. He's reading ok for his age, was slower learning reading than my 7 yr old daughter. He is smart, I just need to figure out how to get it out of him, he can be lazy. He is crazy about legos, he follows the directions and creates his own. He has great imagination. I feel like he needs hands on learning. I'm not one of the "fun" moms who gets into the hands on stuff:) But I really have got to figure out what works to bring the best out of him. I've read about learning styles. I'm doing Power Tools for Literacy for his reading. Will be starting Power Spelling and My Fathers World together with his sister. She is so easy:) stays focused and gets it done. I thought about MathUSee. We do some math online like XtraMath and flash cards. Anybody experienced the same?

Gateway communities hurt by national parks cuts
In the Northwest, we love our coffee nearly as much as we love our outdoor recreation experiences. Out of the total federal budget, our National Park System costs 1/15th of one percent. The average American household pays about $2.56 for the national parks annually. That's like investing in a cup of coffee for places that give us far more than just a short-lived buzz.
While we respect practicing "leave no trace" outdoor recreation methods, it is near-impossible to visit a national park without creating positive impact on nearby communities. In 2012, more than a million visitors contributed over $36.8 million to Enumclaw, Eatonville and other cities that surround Mount Rainier National Park.
As a foothills community, the largest advantage for Enumclaw's economic growth and destination-based recreational experiences is our reliance upon the traffic that Mount Rainier generates. Almost every traveler that visits "our" side of the mountain drives right through Enumclaw.
Across Washington state, our national park sites welcomed more than 7.5 million visitors in 2012 who infused our state with nearly $420 million and supported more than 5,100 jobs. And nationwide, funding the national parks returns $10 on average, for every $1 spent.
Despite these impressive facts and the unquantifiable experiences found in our national parks, funding has declined for years, leading to restricted hours, fewer rangers to serve the public, and a backlog of needed building and maintenance projects. Last year's across-the-board cuts led to an indefinite closure of Mount Rainier's Ohanapecosh Visitor Center, among other challenges.
These impacts were felt months before the government shutdown, with its devastating impacts to gateway communities, not to mention spoiling dream weddings and long-planned vacations.
It took the will and perseverance of many people to establish the National Park System. Our national parks need be funded to sustainable levels so these iconic symbols will continue to be what they were and should always be – gifts to our people.
Our congressional leaders have an opportunity to reverse course and reinvest in our national parks. As the National Park Service will celebrate its 100th birthday in 2016, we urge Congress to adequately fund Mount Rainier – a true icon of the Pacific Northwest – and all of our national parks to levels that will allow Enumclaw and other gateway communities to continue to build their economic base.
By supporting a park operational budget increase as well as a Centennial Initiative, our national parks will be better prepared for their next 100 years by leveraging private dollars to match a long-overdue federal investment.
Washington Sen. Patty Murray and Rep. Jaime Herrera-Beutler are two elected officials who can directly influence this process with their roles in the Senate and House appropriations committees. It is time for Congress to get smarter about how our tax dollars are spent and renew our commitment to supporting "the best idea we ever had" – our National Park System. We can't afford otherwise.
Liz Reynolds is mayor of Enumclaw, and Rob Smith is the Northwest regional director of the National Parks Conservation Association.

Some bloggers are lapping up press releases from a growing corps of PR people.
They can provide easy copy and filler material and provide mini-controversies filling the voracious appetite for content.
But while other media are picking up money for ad campaigns, bloggers say they are often not sharing in the financial spoils.
The arrangement is unsustainable, says Regan Cunliffe of Throng - a blog for television viewers.
Cunliffe says PR companies are using publicity on blogs and claiming their readership, but campaigns are ignoring blogs in favour of mass-audience social media sites and news portals when it comes to spending money.
Cunliffe says PR people claim the benefit of blog audiences in their results to the brand advertisers, but too often bloggers get nothing.
"PR companies should follow international practice and engage with bloggers and pay for the privilege of engaging with their audiences," Cunliffe says.
"It becomes a win-win where content can afford to be produced and, in many cases, audiences respect brands that help keep the communities they participate in alive. While it's one thing to provide content that is a talking point, it's a little useless if it can't be monetised."
Cunliffe seems to have a highly optimistic business model.
From a journalism point of view, the money-for-bloggers approach is a step down the road to cash for comment - and they should be kept apart or at least be transparent. But purely from a business point of view, you can see the point.
It may be that bloggers are facing the same business model challenges as mainstream media people, who are pilloried by digital media. Media commentator Gavin Ellis says that as commercial social media become more sophisticated, they are having a profound effect on what appears in the media, while the number of PR people is growing as the number of journalists diminishes.
Sometimes PR-based editorial coverage can provide a big part of the promotion without spending a buck on media.
As with the Griffin's Choco-ade marketing campaign, the hype and social media ballyhoo is an adjunct to a traditional media campaign.
The latest plug - festooned with commercial shots - beggared belief. It may be that TV3's Campbell Live has entered into the spirit of the Griffin's Choco-ade campaign and seen it as a bit of froth.
But, in my opinion, with the second long item on the Choco-ade biscuit - and its cloying coverage heavy with pictures - there has been a breakdown in the barrier between news and advertising departments at the channel.
Watch a clip earlier this week and judge for yourself at TV3 On Demand.
Campbell Live has gone into contortions to present advertising as news and become the limbo rock of TV news.
The head of news and current affairs, Mark Jennings, says: "I've looked at it and it was basically a cute human interest story done by our Aussie correspondent.
"We are not in bed with the biscuit maker ... Griffin's, Cadbury or whoever it is."
Campbell Live is not alone with these items that Mango PR calls "commercial stories".
An article in the latest Viva, a liftout in the New Zealand Herald, is a classic case in point.
This week a Q&A item featured All Black Dan Carter talking about his flash new shoes from Louis Vuitton, which Viva editor Amanda Linnell says was editorial, while acknowledging that Louis Vuitton was a major advertiser.
The first question sets the tone of the item when Carter is asked: "You are a regular customer at Louis Vuitton. What is it about the brand that appeals to you?"
But Viva is a consumer focused fashion and food liftout featuring product reviews.
Do viewers expect more from Campbell Live?
Three cheers for Bernard Hickey and his plans for a website providing "public interest journalism" - news stories and investigations he says are not being run in an increasingly commercialised media.
There are risks in the proposed website, called journalism.org.nz, which is built on a media business model that relies on people to pay for information on the internet.
But he is prepared to take the risk of launching the news site, which will be run through a non-profit trust and will rely on donations of money and expertise and voluntary membership fees for added benefits.
Hickey is a former news executive at Fairfax who made his name as the ubiquitous face of interest.co.nz and, like other online journalists, has been a harsh critic of traditional media.
He says that "public interest journalism" is being diminished because journalism is not being carried along as advertising shifts online.
With the advent of paywalls, there is a danger such non-commercial journalism will become the preserve of the wealthy who can afford to pay.
The journalism.org idea is similar to the site Propublica.org in the United States, which has been successful and formed relationships with traditional media.
"It's an open question if we can get support from the public with people wanting to pay $100 a year or pay more, with bigger contributions from foundations or family trusts or philanthropic organisations," Hickey says.
He says that the trust would include expertise "to ensure we do not go around defaming or creating grief".
"There is always that risk with investigative journalism - you come across someone who wants to sue," Hickey says. "You have to have some heft behind you."
So far Hickey has named liberal blogger and TV3 media commentator Russell Brown and businessman Selwyn Pallet as helping his plans.
He stressed Pallet was helping with technical and legal aspects, not supporting the project financially.
Interest.co.nz owner David Chaston says he supports Hickey's decision, but he would not be a financial backer beyond joining as a member.
He says Hickey would continue to have a role in interest.co.nz as a contributing editor.
The political editor, Alex Tarrant, who has shown his mettle as a commentator on TV3's The Nation, is also moving on - for an OE.
Chaston says that the interest.co.nz model - built on editorial and contractual relationships providing data to the banking sector - was working well.
While those two relationships would appear to create tensions for a journalist and Hickey has a reputation for sometimes being critical of banks, Chaston says the business model works very well.
Television New Zealand appears to be focusing back on its content strategy after years of being interested mainly in distribution "onto every screen".
The state broadcaster is looking for a head of digital to replace Eric Kearley, who will run pay TV and internet television at Telstra in Australia, joining former TVNZ chief executive Rick Ellis, who was appointed group managing director of digital at Telstra.
Many believe Ellis was too focused on technology and took too little interest in the core channels, programming and content, a view that made him unpopular with programme makers.
Kearley - who came to New Zealand six years ago with experience in European digital TV - was close to Ellis and was seen as geekish in an environment that is a mixture of marketing, conservatism and glamour.
It is understood new TVNZ CEO Kevin Kenrick has cut back on the number of digital projects being developed.
Kearley is the latest in a long list of executivess to exit the state TV company over the past year.
Igloo TV general manager Chaz Savage says the pay TV company has solved the technical problems that have delayed its launch.
He says it will launch next month, but does not have a date yet.
Igloo is 51 per cent owned by Sky TV and 49 per cent by TVNZ.

Researchers Find Bats Evolved Ability To Fly Before Echolocation main content.
by AMNH on
The discovery of a remarkably well-preserved fossil representing the most primitive bat species known to dateand an entirely new family of batsdemonstrates that these animals evolved the ability to fly before they could echolocate, or use high-pitched sounds to find the location of objects by the sounds reflected from them. The new species, named Onychonycteris finneyi, was unearthed in 2003 in southwestern Wyoming and is described in a study led by Nancy Simmons, Chair of the Division of Vertebrate Zoology and Curator at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, that appears in the February 14, 2008 issue of the journal Nature.
Bats represent one of the largest and most diverse orders of mammals, accounting for one-fifth of all living mammal species. Despite the fact that bats are so widespread and include a fossil record that extends over more than 50 million years, the evolutionary timing and development of both echolocation and flapping flight has been widely debated. The well-preserved condition of the new fossil permitted the scientists to take an unprecedented look at the most primitive known member of the order Chiroptera. When we first saw it, we knew it was special, said Dr. Simmons. Its clearly a bat, but unlike any previously known. In many respects it is a missing link between bats and their nonflying ancestors.
Dating the rock formation in which the fossil was found put its age at 52 million years. Onychonycteris was not the only bat alive at the time--fossils of Icaronycteris, a more modern bat that could echolocate, are found in the same formations.
A careful examination of Onychonycteriss physical characteristics revealed several surprising features. For example, it had claws on all five of its fingers, whereas modern bats have claws on only one or two digits of each hand. The limb proportions of Onychonycteris are also different from all other batsthe hind legs are longer and the forearm shorterand more similar to those of climbing mammals that hang under branches, such as sloths and gibbons.
The fossils limb form and the appearance of claws on all the fingers suggests that Onychonycterismay have been a skilled climber. However, long fingers, a keeled sternum, and other features indicate that Onychonycteris could fly under its own power like modern bats. It had short, broad wings, which suggest that it probably could not fly as fast as most bats that evolved later.
Instead of flapping its wings continuously while flying, it may have alternated flapping and gliding while in the air. Onychonycteriss teeth indicate that its diet consisted primarily of insects, just like most living bats.
Despite Onychonycteriss resemblance to animals that evolved subsequently, its skull lacks features in and around the ear seen in bats that use echolocation to navigate and hunt. The structure of its feet and ankles, which include a special, spur-like bone that likely supported a tail membrane, led the researchers to conclude that Onychonycteris had the broad tail that modern bats use to capture prey in flight, but that it was probably used as an airfoil to aid maneuvering. Without echolocation, Onychonycteris likely had to make do with visual, olfactory, or passive audio cues to hunt.
It finally gives us an answer, said Dr. Simmons. Flying evolved first, echolocation second.
Coauthors on the study include Kevin L. Seymour of the Royal Ontario Museum in Canada, JHabersetzer of the Senckenberg Research Institute in Germany, and Gregg F. Gunnell of the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Funding for the work was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).

Calling all "DIY-challenged" wannabe craft-makers (like me):
Here are some super-easy-but-really-cool DIY projects that involve little to no craft-making skill or experience. (Now that's what I'm talking about.)
Get down with your crafty self and have a little fun this weekend with these ideas:
Candle holders. Mason jars, decorative glass pebbles, floating candles and twine come together to create a really nice fall-ish glow for your table. You don't even need a glue gun (though it might be helpful to keep the twine in place).
Pumpkin centerpiece. You can't get easier than this, and what a beautiful way to add a touch of fall to your table. Buy white pumpkins, encircle them with bittersweet vine and place them along an orange table runner to create a gorgeous center arrangement.
Candy corn wine bottles. These make really cool vases for fall flowers. Get orange, yellow and white spray paint and some old wine bottles (be sure you remove labels, clean off the sticky stuff and dry). First spray the base color of white over the whole bottle, then let it dry. A few coats will give you good coverage. Spray the middle section orange (a few coats should work well here, too), then finish with yellow on the bottom. Be sure to let the paint dry between coats, and voila, in the end, you have a beautifully transformed wine bottle.
Fall-scented sugar scrub. Not only is making your own sugar scrub cost effective, but you can also adjust it to your tastes and preferences. Here's a recipe for a pumpkin spice latte sugar scrub that'll remind you of Starbucks' popular drink. This scrub has a variety of benefits for your skin. The sugars exfoliate while the vitamin e oil and almond oil add moisture.
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tbsp ground coffee
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup Almond oil
1 tsp vitamin e oil
In a large bowl combine brown and white sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and ground coffee. In a small bowl, whisk almond oil and vitamin e oil, then pour into sugar mixture. Mix until well and store in an airtight container.

MAX10 Bodyshaping is a structured 10 week program that combines kick boxing and other martial arts with the latest fast passed exercises using resistance bands, medicine balls and steppers to create the ultimate toning and weight loss program. MAX10 is the complete package and includes the MAX10 nutrition education and other weight loss and toning guidance in the MAX10 Bodyshaping Manual. Other materials include the MAX10 Nutrition Tracking Journal, boxing gloves and wraps. The class uses free standing punching bags for the kickboxing. Our training uses plyometrics and muscle confusion. We also have a very expansive nutrition program that includes product demonstrations. We train members five days a week for one hour. We take before pictures to show transformation, then we check progress at week 1, 5, and 10. There is an instructor and experienced members who coach teams of about 5-6 per team 30+ people per class. They work out and support each other. There is both techno and rock played during classes.
Our target audience is professional men, women, and their spouses who join recreation centers, gyms and participate in other weight loss programs. Target age is 24 to early 40 in age. This group needs structure to work out but enjoys being part of the cutting edge. They are not afraid to commit money to a program but want to see fast results. They live in suburban neighborhoods and mostly work white color jobs. Some have children or are just married or are professional adults. They have been through local gyms and are now choosing between our program and the other latest programs like P90X, and Less Mills. Most are very excited about the kickboxing element. INSPIRATION: This brochure reflects pretty well the program. The problem with it is that the logo and color schemes are now different. But a good point of reference for sample content http://www.rockwellcollinsreccenter…202009.pdf Our current site can be used as a point of reference. Again same issue, we have a new logo and colors http://www.MAX10.net however the new URL will be http://www.MAX10Fit.com Another good reference is Less Mills. They have a great feel please draw inspiration form their site. http://www.lesmills.com/ Here is a link to our competitions site. We are looking to build on any of those strengths but not necessarily follow their site lay out. http://www.extremebodyshaping.com/
I need the site to be original, no licensed fonts or images.

Ultra-thin stretch-oriented blown shrink film now can be processed using the Layer Sequence Repeater (LSR) technology developed by BBS Corp., Spartanburg, S.C. In a paper to be delivered later this month at the SPE Polyolefins 2013 Conference in Houston, BBS reports producing films containing 25 to 77 nano-layers of nylon 6/66, EVOH, and PE and then biaxially orienting them. "We found that the more layers there are in the film structure, the easier it is to stretch-orient at astounding stretch ratios of up to 7x7 compared with 5x5 normally," says Henry Schirmer, inventor of the LSR and president of BBS. "Having 77 nano-layers within an ultra-thin 26 gauge film means that each nano-layer is truly in the nanometer measuring range. The average thickness in this example is 8.6 nm." The LSR is an independent unit inside the die (see image). It forms the nano-layer stack and inserts it between other layers in the film.
The paper, coauthored by shrink-film processor Bollore of France (U.S. office in Dayville, Conn.) and EVOH supplier Soarus LLC, Arlington Heights, Ill., was eye opening to Schirmer for several other reasons. First, it led to a theory that nano-layers create a new order of crystal structure in EVOH that is consistent with forming a copolymer with nylon 6/66, as observed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis.
Another new theory of Schirmer's explains polymer flow within the LSR. "While the LSR has very narrow slots for alternating layer flow, there are very many slots, meaning that the overall flow is very relaxed because it is all slow and in parallel against many metal surfaces," he states. "The melt therefore has more alignment, like a carding machine combing cotton, but with less melt orientation than normal. This means more polymer is available for stretch orientation, as we have seen with the high stretch ratios. BBS technology is available through Alpha Marathon, Woodbridge, Ont.
Overcome the Challenges in Winding Flexible Packaging Film
Not all film webs are created equal. This creates challenges for both winder and operator. Here's how to handle them.
EXTRUSION: How to Adjust for Shrinkage and Orientation
Polymers shrink and orient. Sometimes orientation is unbalanced, resulting in misshaped parts. But there are steps beyond tweaking the die that can mitigate these effects.
Get Smart About Screens
Almost all extrusion processes pass melt through wire-mesh screens on the way to the die to provide filtering and improved mixing.

Game six, the deciding game of the Lakers' 1985 championship, saw Los Angeles's Michael Cooper carried to the dressing room with an injury. Despite the rivalry, most of the Boston fans gave Cooper a nice hand. But 15-year-old Bill Simmons, sitting in the fourth row from the court, merely waved—the most tentative taunt ever taunted.
UPDATE: We found some better-quality footage, and it appears Simmons might be offering up a middle finger.

Dortmund, Aubameyang lead soccer poll
LONDON (AP) — Borussia Dortmund's impressive display over the weekend earned it first place in The Associated Press global soccer poll on Tuesday.
Dortmund routed Hamburg 6-2 on Saturday, and striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's two goals put him at the top of the player vote.
Aubameyang finished 16 points ahead of Mesut Ozil, who made his Arsenal debut on Saturday. Ozil finished only one point ahead of teammate Aaron Ramsey, who scored twice in the 3-1 win at Sunderland.
"Ramsey has been a revelation this season. Five goals so far, including a high-class double that almost overshadowed Ozil's impressive debut," Julien Bennetts of Hayters news agency said.
Arsenal was second in the team vote with 112 points, 50 behind Dortmund's 162 from the 19-man panel. Napoli was third and Atletico Madrid fourth, only three points ahead of Everton, which beat Chelsea 1-0.
Everton midfielder Gareth Barry, who was playing his first match since arriving on loan from Manchester City, impressed in the victory.
"It is amazing to think Barry hadn't played a minute of first-team football before a man-of-the-match performance against Chelsea on his Everton debut," Richard Jolly of ESPN said. "It was quite a way to announce himself as Marouane Fellaini's replacement."
Barry finished ninth in the player poll with 36 points.
There were two other players from Dortmund, Robert Lewandowski and Marco Reus, in the top 10 at fifth and sixth, respectively.
"Jurgen Klopp claimed that Reus would be 'going to heaven' for his clever step over that brought about BVB's fourth goal," said James Thorogood, editor of Bundesliga.com. "But his intricate passing and majestic footwork were just as much a reason for the 24-year-old to be worthy of reaching the pearly gates."
Gareth Bale, who scored on his Real Madrid debut in a 2-2 draw against Villarreal, came in eighth with 40 points, nine behind Barcelona forward Lionel Messi.
Messi scored the second goal before a final-minute winner from Alexis Sanchez meant Barcelona maintained its 100 percent winning record this season with a 3-2 home win over Sevilla.
The victory also saw Barcelona finish seventh in the team rankings.
"Gareth Bale may be the world's most expensive player and he also scored on his debut, but Lionel Messi still holds the title of world's best player," Mike McGrath of The Sun and Wardles news agency said. "He showed again that he is priceless to Barcelona."
Despite conceding twice, Real Madrid goalkeeper Diego Lopez made it into 10th in the player poll with 35 points. He made a string of impressive saves that helped earn his side a point.

Dr. Shakil Afridi, who helped CIA track bin Laden, sentenced for treason in Pakistan
The Pakistani doctor who helped the CIA hunt for Osama bin Laden was sentenced Wednesday to 33 years in prison for treason in an administrative action under colonial-era laws that avoided a public trial.
The move brought condemnation in Washington, where officials had been hoping to win freedom for Dr. Shakil Afridi, whom Pakistani intelligence agents detained three weeks after the May 2, 2011, U.S. special forces raid in the northern town of Abbottabad that ended in bin Laden's death.
Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Carl Levin, D-Mich., called the verdict "shocking and outrageous" in a statement.
"What Dr. Afridi did is the furthest thing from treason. It was a courageous, heroic and patriotic act, which helped to locate the most wanted terrorist in the world – a mass murderer who had the blood of many innocent Pakistanis on his hands," the statement said. "Dr. Afridi set an example that we wish others in Pakistan had followed long ago. He should be praised and rewarded for his actions, not punished and slandered."
McClatchy revealed last July that Afridi had set up a fake health program in Abbottabad, sending health workers door to door to vaccinate residents for hepatitis B, in an effort to get DNA samples from the house where the CIA suspected that bin Laden lived.
American officials were never sure that bin Laden was in the home, to which they'd traced a key al Qaida courier. Afridi's work, carried out in the weeks leading up to the raid, was an important part of the CIA's attempts to verify that bin Laden was in the Abbottabad house before mounting a risky operation to kill him in another country. It remains unclear whether Afridi's efforts gained any useful information.
Agents of the Pakistani military's Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate arrested Afridi three weeks after the bin Laden raid. U.S. officials suspect that he's been tortured in custody, a claim that Pakistani military officials have angrily denied.
The manner in which Afridi's case was handled is sure to inflame U.S. opinion. An official in Pakistan's tribal area tried the doctor under the draconian Frontier Crimes Regulation, which was imposed when Pakistan was a British colony. There's no judge, and an employee of the local government oversees the process. The law gives that official the power to declare a suspect guilty and impose a sentence that can even sanction other members of a defendant's tribe.
The Pakistani government justified handing jurisdiction of the matter to the tribal area court because Afridi was officially employed to work in the tribal area, in the part known as the Khyber agency, and is a member of a local tribe. Had his case been handled in Abbottabad, where his alleged offenses were committed, or in Islamabad, he would have been entitled to a court proceeding in which a judge would have considered his actions.
News reports here said Afridi was sent Wednesday to the Central Jail in Peshawar, the main city in the northwest of the country. Nasir Khan, a senior administration official in Khyber, told journalists there that in addition to the prison term, Afridi had been fined the equivalent of $3,550.
The local nurses and other health officials in Abbottabad who unwittingly cooperated with Afridi have been fired, and his wife lost her teaching job.
In January, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who was the director of the CIA at the time of the bin Laden raid, went public with Washington's concerns about Afridi.
"I am very concerned about what the Pakistanis did with this individual. This was an individual who, in fact, helped provide intelligence that was very helpful with regard to this operation," Panetta said during an interview aired by CBS. "He was not in any way treasonous towards Pakistan. He was not in any way doing anything that would have undermined Pakistan."
Panetta declined to comment Wednesday about Afridi's case specifically. "Anyone who supported the U.S. in finding Osama bin Laden was not working against Pakistan but working against al Qaida," Pentagon spokesman George Little said.
Pakistan regarded the bin Laden raid as a national humiliation, and the cooperation of one of its citizens angered many here. Panetta's remarks confirmed on the record that Afridi had worked for the CIA. Under the laws in Pakistan – and many other countries, including the United States – working for a foreign intelligence agency is a crime.
U.S.-Pakistani relations disintegrated last year over a series of clashes, including the bin Laden raid, culminating in a "friendly fire" episode in November in which American aircraft mistakenly attacked two Pakistani border outposts, killing 24 soldiers. In response, Pakistan stopped permitting NATO supplies headed for Afghanistan to pass through its territory.
American officials are likely to continue to press Pakistan for Afridi's release, though that negotiation will be harder now that he's been sentenced, as the diplomatic bargain required to free him will be costlier. American officials have told McClatchy in the past that concern for Afridi goes right up to President Barack Obama.
Matthew Schofield contributed to this report from Washington.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story misidentified one the senators who issued a statement condemning the sentence. In addition to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the other senator was Carl Levin, D-Mich.

1) Linux, Windows, or XAMPP/WAMP server (important notice to Ubuntu/Debian users)
2) For commercial servers: Shared, Dedicated, and VPS hosting supported
3) Apache or IIS
5) cURL and PHP cURL extension enabled
6) ffmpeg.exe for Windows & XAMPP/WAMP; FFmpeg and codecs packages installed on Linux
7) That's it!Recently, I reeeaally wanted an MP3 audio version of a certain YouTube.com video. I was tired of the online apps that either didn't work or charged you for this service, so I decided to write my own. It was a tad confusing, so I thought I'd share my mini-app with the world to help others who might undertake such an endeavor.ATTENTION LINUX USERS. . .
(Important notice to Ubuntu/Debian users!)
If you already have FFmpeg installed on your Linux web server (those with sites hosted on shared servers will need to verify this), then you absolutely can run this app on your site. In this case, Linux configuration is identical to Windows configuration with the following exceptions:
1) ffmpeg.exe is no longer required, so you don't need the file on your server.
2) Change the following line of code in config.class.php:
...to something like...PHP Code:
const _FFMPEG = 'ffmpeg.exe';
...depending on where the installation of FFmpeg is located on your server.PHP Code:
const _FFMPEG = '/absolute/path/to/ffmpeg';
I created the app for my own personal use to run on my Windows development machine using the latest version of XAMPP. I chose this environment for my app because, in this way, I have complete control over server and PHP configurations. And manipulating video and audio files is just plain easier that way. Thus, I suspect that this app won't run in most shared hosting environments (i.e., on a commercial server run by a web hosting company). You'll have to tweak my code in that case...
So, first of all, you will need to download the latest FFmpeg build. I used the Windows 32-bit version. FFmpeg is the software that will ultimately enable you to convert YouTube's FLV video files into MP3 audio files.
Inside the FFmpeg distribution is a /bin/ folder that contains the only file that you'll need: ffmpeg.exe. I have the file in my project/app folder in the web root (htdocs in XAMPP), but you may want to put the file (and other app files/directories) beneath the web root and reference it there (i.e., in a production environment). It's not required for my app to function, but, on a production server, I'm in the habit of putting files there that don't need to be publicly accessible, for extra security. It's your prerogative.
With that in place, you can put both the converter class (YouTubeToMp3Converter.class.php) and example implementation (index.php) into your web root project directory as well. See below for both files:
index.phpPHP Code:
// Download latest version above to see this code...
Now, add 2 writable sub-directories to your app directory: I called them "mp3" (where the resulting MP3 files appear) and "videos" (where YouTube FLV files are temporarily stored during conversion).PHP Code:
// Download latest version above to see this code...
To help you visualize, in XAMPP, my final directory structure appears as follows:
I'll let you figure out the majority of the code on your own. In a nutshell, the converter class grabs the YouTube FLV url using some regex, downloads the video with cURL, then converts the FLV to MP3 audio by invisibly running FFmpeg in a command shell (with PHP's exec()).
A few things:
1) As I said earlier, the app won't run on commercial servers that have disabled shell access (see use of exec() function in code).
2) The regex to get the FLV urls (and other video information) will undoubtedly break the next time Google drastically overhauls their site....which they did recently....Alternatively, there is probably some API available for grabbing the videos, and maybe one of these days I will integrate that into the code.
3) If you need help with FFmpeg command line flags and general syntax, take a look at the FFmpeg documentation.
4) You will probably want to add some additional data validation/sanitization, as I only coded the minimum required for my needs.
I may update this app periodically if I feel like it. I'm sure it can be improved.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Long-time 4-H Volunteer Leaders Honored
February 26, 2013 – The Colville Confederated Tribes Business Council recognized and honored four long-time 4-H leaders for their volunteer service. During the (CDC) Community Development Committee meeting, Ben E. Marchand, Colville Business Council member & CDC chairman, welcomed guests and turned the floor over to Linda McLean, Colville Reservation-Ferry County Extension Educator, for introductions of visitors and to read the honoring speech.
Those recognized for outstanding service were: Ian Wilder, Nespelem Creek Kids 4-H, 26 yrs.; Janell Townsend, Big Goose Kids 4-H, 25 yrs.; Marilee Seymour, Kewa Hillbillies, 25 yrs.; Karen Neal, Keller Valley Highriders 4-H & Keller 4-H Culture Club, 20 yrs.
Three of the four honorees were present to receive their award: Ian Wilder, Karen Neal and Janell Townsend and all acknowledged their appreciation for the Colville Confederated Tribes and the support that the Tribes have shown for youth over the years.
"There are only two areas in the state where a tribe works with the state for 4-H children…the Colville Tribes stand out as unique for that," said Ian Wilder at Wednesday's honoring. He went on to say "I would also like to thank the tribe for always being there to help the youth of the community; we do appreciate the Tribes' involvement."
Karen Neal thanked the tribe and the community both, stating that "4-H is conducive to families, and that her daughter, Storey Jackson, is now taking the lead with the Keller 4-H club and her grandchildren are enjoying 4-H. This was a sentiment repeated by Colville Reservation-Ferry County Extension Educator, Linda Mclean, as she noted "Many of these volunteers are working on their second generation of 4-Hers."
Dan Fagerlie, recently retired Ferry County Extension Director and the current WSU Tribal Liaison & Project Director for Colville Reservation Extension, was on hand to show his appreciation for these 4-H Leaders; all of them began their tenure as volunteers during his Ferry County 4-H Agent work. Dan acknowledge Darlene Wilder, wife to Ian Wilder, for her many years of dedicated service also saying, "Behind every great man is a great woman." Where ever Ian goes, Darlene is right beside him assisting in any way possible.
"Youth development is a priority of the Colville Tribes; the youth of today are our leaders of tomorrow. It is important to recognize the positive efforts that people put forth for the benefit of our young people and our communities. Ian, Janell, Karen, and Marilee have shown that they are truly dedicated to the positive development of our reservation youth. Their actions and their continued leadership make the Colville Reservation a stronger community by engaging our youth and bringing out the potential for greatness in each and every young person that they work with." stated Linda McLean.
As a sign of recognition, appreciation and gratitude, Colville Business Council members, Ben E. Marchand, N. Lynn Palmanteer-Holder and Joe Somday presented each of the 4-H leaders with a Pendleton Blanket embroidered with the Colville Confederated Tribes seal.

Heartbeat 'could power pacemaker'
A device which could harness energy from a beating heart can produce enough electricity to keep a pacemaker running, according to US researchers.
Repeated operations are currently needed to replace batteries in pacemakers.
Tests suggested the device could produce 10 times the amount of energy needed.
The British Heart Foundation said clinical trials were needed to show it would be safe for patients.
Piezoelectric materials generate an electric charge when their shape is changed. They are used in some microphones to convert vibrations into an electrical signal.
Researchers at the University of Michigan are trying to use the movement of the heart as a source of electricity.
In tests designed to simulate a range of heartbeats, enough electricity was generated to power a pacemaker. The designers now want to test the device on a real heart and build it into a commercial pacemaker.
Dr Amin Karami told a meeting of the American Heart Association that pacemaker batteries needed to be replaced approximately every seven years.
"Many of the patients are children who live with pacemakers for many years. You can imagine how many operations they are spared if this new technology is implemented."
Prof Peter Weissberg, the medical director at the British Heart Foundation, said: "Advancing technology over recent years has meant people with pacemakers need to change their battery less often. This device could be another step forward along this path.
"If researchers can refine the technology and it proves robust in clinical trials, it would further reduce the need for battery changes."

The University of Dubuque football team continue to remain at the top of the Iowa Conference after a 40-17 victory at Cornell College on Saturday.
The Spartans victory was highlighted by quarterback Wyatt Hanus who has quietly tied the Iowa Conference passing touchdowns in a game record for the second time in 2011. He completed 14-22 attempts for 265 yards and six touchdowns. Michael Zweifel led all receivers in the game with seven catches for 157 yards and four touchdowns with his longest being from 74 yards. Demacus Fleming caught a 29 yard touchdown pass in the third quarter. Tim Clary caught the first touchdown of the day on a three yard grab at 10:14 of the opening quarter of play.
The Spartans finished with 431 yards of offense, a balanced attack of 158 yards of rushing and 273 passing. Justin Spaulding led the rushers with 16 attempts for 104 yards for an average of 6.5 yards a carry. Defensively Anthony Losasso ended with 12 tackles, one fumble recovery and one tackle for loss. Stephen Vassalotti chased the Rams quarterback all afternoon and collected two sacks for a loss of 14 yards.
Zweifel nears closer to the all-time reception leader, currently has 408 catches for 5374 yards and 47 touchdowns for his collegiate career.
The Spartans, who lead the IIAC in nearly offensive category, continue their road trip next week at Buena Vista University in Storm Lake with kick-off scheduled for 1:00 p.m.

It is rare I am up in time to write a blog post the morning before a race, but that is what jet lag will do to you. I slept from 8 to 4 and am feeling really ready to tackle the trails of the Chippewa Moraine. SR is sleeping and I am sitting in the Bloomer Inn lobby drinking coffee from Kwik Trip. And I just finished a peanut butter and chocolate rice krispie treat - only slightly less satisfying than the pecan carmel cream cheese pie last night.
I have no particular expectations for today. It is a really nice feeling to have before an ultra. I think this pregnancy will make me learn more about how to run in the future. Really, every race should be like this: going out and enjoying the day, seeing how fast and how much you feel like running simply according to how you feel. It takes a lot of pressure off.
And if I don't finish all 50k today, it' not for lack of gear. I finally caved and bought compression socks. The CEP brand, since if you recall from my post about compression socks, they're the only ones that have some amount of evidence proving they work. So far it has been a good decision because the pitting edema that had been around my ankles for weeks now has disappeared. There is probably no time of life that one could get greater benefit out of those stockings when running than when pregnant.
And I bought a prengancy support belt. I went out running for about 15 minutes with it and noticed absolutely no difference, but I've decided to run with it anyway.
I promise to take pictures and give a full report after the race. Happy Easter weekend, everyone!
