text: Like a secret weapon, this cleat is something you'll want to whip out for the most important occasions. For the days when you need to blow it out of the water. For the games that really count. The all-new evoSPEED SL is our lightest cleat yet, designed to add more sprints to your game and amplify acceleration during critical turns and breakaways. It's super light yet supportive, strong yet flexible. The lower toe box enhances touch, while the longer vamp provides greater kicking surface. And every move is empowered by the studs' angles and shapes, which encourage acceleration and propulsion at every angle. This cleat takes inspiration from the dragonfly's motion, speed, precision, and dynamic response specifically when it's in attack mode. Just like you'll be when you lace these bad boys up.

Why care about water quality?
Environmental Notes
Keith Miller
Oakdale Environmental Management Commission
Did you know that the quality of water in your community can impact your property value? It's true. Studies have indicated a direct correlation between quality of water and property values. After all, would you rather live in a neighborhood with clean, clear waters or one that has ponds full of blue-green algae?
Now, I'd like to think that everyone cares about the quality of our ponds, lakes and wetlands just because it's the right thing to do. But I am a realist, and I know that this isn't the case. But perhaps knowing that good water quality has an impact on one's pocketbook – through increased property values – might spring some people into action!
So when you're ready for action, hopefully your question will be, "How can I help?" I'm glad you asked!
Each of us is responsible for the quality of our water, and there are many steps we can take to contribute. Here are seven easy things you can do to help save our lakes and wetlands. Some of these may be familiar, some perhaps not:
1 – Mulch or compost your grass clippings. Keep your clippings off of hard surfaces where they would be washed away and ultimately end up in our water.
2 – Mulch or compost your leaves, minimizing the chance they will blow away and reach our waters. Also, clean leaves from your gutters so they can't be washed away with the rain. Don't rake leaves into the street for the street sweeper to pickup.
3 – If you must fertilize, do not use one that contains phosphorous. It's phosphorous that accelerates algae growth in our lakes and wetlands. And again, like grass clippings and leaves keep fertilizer off of hard surfaces as it will be washed away and end up in our water to accelerate algae growth as well.
4 – Reduce storm water runoff from your property by directing downspouts onto your lawn, not onto hard surfaces. Also, use rain barrels to collect rain water for watering plants.
5 – Use native plants and remove invasive, non-native plants. Native plants are adapted to our environment and climate and are tolerant of both drought and tough winters. Drought tolerance means no need for excessive watering (translating into less runoff).
6 – Properly dispose of household hazardous waste! Have you ever seen people pour old gasoline onto the street or wash paint brushes at the end of their driveways? These pollutants end up in our lakes and wetlands! Instead, they belong at the Washington County Environmental Center, 4039 Cottage Grove Drive in Woodbury. The facility is open from noon to 7 p.m. on Tuesdays and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursdays and Saturdays. Call 651-430-6655 if you have any questions about what they accept.
7 – Don't use coal tar-based sealants on your driveway. In addition to our ordinance in Oakdale banning the use of coal tar-based sealants, a new Minnesota state law will ban their use effective at the end of this year. They contain chemicals that harm fish, and with prolonged exposure, pose a risk of cancer in humans. Plus, they make routine maintenance of storm water ponds more expensive.
There are other ways you can help keep our wetlands healthy. One is to get involved in the City of Oakdale's Adopt-A-Wetland program. This is a great program for individuals, families, a group of friends, neighbors, an organization, or a network of people from your work. Those involved are asked to keep "adopted" property clean and free from trash and debris, to help educate neighbors about wetlands, and monitor and remove invasive species. The program is well-organized, and the city gives step-by-step instructions to volunteers while providing great, on-going support. If you live near a wetland (and remember, although ponds and lakes are obviously wetlands, storm water pond areas, dry wetlands and drainage areas are also considered wetlands), and are interested in adopting a wetland, please check it out at the city's website http://www.ci.oakdale.mn.us/. Hover over "Generation Green" and then click on "Water Quality."
And have you ever thought about planting a rain garden? Rain gardens (collection areas that are planted with native, moisture-loving vegetation) can be a valuable means of reducing storm water runoff. And did you know financial assistance (up to $2,500 for residential projects) is available for rain garden design work, installation and plants? The grants are offered through the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District. Check it out at www.rwmwd.org. Hover over "BMP Incentive Program," and then click on "Homeowner Residential Properties."
While our governments do establish zoning and ordinance codes to protect water quality, ultimately, each of us has personal responsibility for the quality of our water. This is true even if you do not live right next to a wetland or pond, because each of us, if you think about it, is connected: my rooftop is connected to my gutter, my gutter is connected to my downspout, my downspout is connected to my sidewalk, my sidewalk is connected to my driveway, my driveway is connected to my street, my street is connected to the neighborhood storm drain, the storm drain is connected to a nearby wetland, and the wetland is connected to the community lake.
What goes into our water really does matter! And the more we protect it, the better will be our community and the higher will be our property values!

It's not a revenue play for the public education system. A new financial education program that Vanguard is offering free of charge to U.S. classrooms uses experiential learning to teach students from kindergarten through high school about money, including how to earn it, how to save it and how to spend it.
The program, My Classroom Economy, establishes a simulated economy in a classroom where students earn credits, or "dollars," by completing classroom jobs, extra-credit assignments, getting exceptional grades and participating in extra-curricular activities. They can use those credits to pay for rent on their desks or at a class store or auction where they can purchase grade-appropriate items like markers and small toys. They can even save enough to buy their desk or buy other students' desks as a source of income. Students can also be fined for misbehavior.
The program website features materials and guides to help teachers guide their students through various activities, as well as a suggested schedule for introducing topics.
"We get a lot of encouraging emails from teachers," Shannon Nutter-Wiersbitzky (left), director of market research for Vanguard and head of the My Classroom Economy program, told AdvisorOne on Tuesday. "Kids love it. They love being grown up. Even paying rent, they think, 'Oh, this is so neat.' It's also great from a classroom management perspective. Teachers can encourage good behavior and discourage bad behavior."
The program was developed by Vanguard with the help of Rafe Esquith, a fifth-grade teacher at Hobart Boulevard Elementary School in Los Angeles who has won multiple awards for teaching and wrote several books on teaching.
"They called me because they read some of my books and thought how I teach economics might be a better way to teach financial responsibility," Esquith told AdvisorOne on Tuesday. "Initially, they just asked if I would be interested, but the more I spoke with them, the more I thought their goals were worthy. This is just a volunteer project by their people."
Vanguard had more than 40 volunteers who contributed their skills in training development, design, IT, writing, project management and investment expertise to the program, Nutter-Wiersbitzky says.
Esquith, who has been a teacher for 30 years, says students in his school are up against a lot. Just 32% of students in his school finish the 12th grade, he says, and 92% are below the poverty line. "I saw early on that it's not always the students' fault," he says. "Many of the lessons have no relevance to their lives."
As students advance to higher grades, the program's activities become more complex. Middle school students begin paying for utilities and taxes in addition to their rent. High school students can buy investment products like CDs and can purchase insurance. They can also open investment accounts with stocks and bonds.
"The additional aspects of the program are meant to make it more real life," Nutter-Wiersbitzky says. Older students who may be inclined to write the program off as unimportant can see that the principles behind fake money and investment accounts are more than just pretend. "They can see how their investment, if they started to save, how it grows over 32 years. They can see the power of compound interest, and that time shift will be powerful."
The program has only recently been expanded to include middle school and high school students, but has been available for students in kindergarten through fifth-grade classrooms for the past year, Nutter-Wiersbitzky says.
Vanguard doesn't have any metrics on how many classrooms are using the program, Nutter-Wiersbitzky says. "We don't require teachers to register," she says. "We wanted to make it as easy as possible for teachers to use."
So, what happens if a student can't make rent?
"That can happen," Nutter-Wiersbitzky says, calling it a "teachable moment." If a student hasn't saved enough to pay rent, the teacher can coach him or her to help figure out ways to earn additional income. For example, if there are any tests coming up, how can the student earn a better grade and get a bonus, Nutter-Wiersbitzky suggests. "In real life, you may have to figure out how to earn additional income."
For Esquith's students, not being able to pay their rent isn't an option. "At the beginning of the year I joke that if they can't make rent, they'll have to sit on the floor," he says, "but that never happens. There are so many ways to earn extra money in my classroom."
Although the program materials suggest using good classroom behavior as one way for students to earn money, Esquith insists that he doesn't do so. "Good behavior is expected," he says.
The program overlays any curriculum, Nutter-Wiersbitzky says, and meets common core state standards published by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State School Officers. It also meets standards developed by the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy, which provides advocacy, research and educational resources to improve young people's financial literacy.
"This is not about a teacher or one person coming in and telling students what they need to know," Nutter-Wiersbitzky says. "It's about getting to fail in a safe way."
She compares the program to learning how to ride a bike. "Before you send a kid out on a two-wheeler, you get them training wheels. This is the training wheels. It lets kids practice, and when they're ready to go out on their own, they know how to handle themselves."
A major concept in the program is that of delayed gratification. Esquith teaches his students that sometimes they may want something, but if they don't have enough money, they have to walk away. It's a lesson they've taken to heart and are using in real life. Esquith admits that most 10-year-olds with $5 in their pocket will spend it, but not his class. They've taken several field trips and his students have shown that while they may see something they like in a gift shop, they understand that in a few months, it'll be gathering dust, Esquith says. "They're very careful with their real money."
Nutter-Wiersbitzky agrees. Young people are under a lot of pressure to be consumers, she says, but they don't have an equivalent pressure to be savers.
As the father of four, Esquith is confident saying that young people don't understand the value of money and have a sense of entitlement. Many children at his school are eligible for free breakfasts or free lunches. "It's easy to understand how a 6- or 7-year-old can learn things are just handed to you."
"I realized that of course I'm going to teach my students mathematics, history, literature, but I also wanted to teach them about real life. People are quick to blame Wall Street or politicians or bankers, but part of the problem is us."
"We're talking about the economy, but it's part of a bigger lesson," Esquith says. "The motto in my classroom is 'There are no shortcuts.' If you want financial security, it takes a long time."

As has been described in the application identity guide, when you choose application identity you are defining which fields of the class are part of the primary key, and you are taking control of the specification of id's to DataNucleus. Application identity requires a primary key (PK) class, and each persistent capable class may define a different class for its primary key, and different persistent capable classes can use the same primary key class, as appropriate. You specify the primary key class like this
<entity class="MyClass"> <id-class class="MyIdClass"/> ... </entity>
or using annotations
@Entity @IdClass(class=MyIdClass.class) public class MyClass { ... }
You now need to define the PK class to use. This is simplified for you because if you have only one PK field then you dont need to define a PK class and you only define it when you have a composite PK.
An important thing to note is that the PK can only be made up of fields of the following Java types
We do not currently support "embedded id". Simply add the fields of the embedded id to the class and mark all as @Id.
The simplest way of using application identity is where you have a single PK field, and in this case you use an inbuilt primary key class that DataNucleus provides, so you don't need to specify the objectid-class . Let's take an example
public class MyClass { long id; ... } <entity class="MyClass"> <attributes> <id name="id"/> ... </attributes> </entity>
or using annotations
@Entity public class MyClass { @Id long id; ... }
So we didnt specify the JPA "id-class". You will, of course, have to give the field a value before persisting the object, either by setting it yourself, or by using a value-strategy on that field.
Since there are many possible combinations of primary-key fields it is impossible for JPA to provide a series of builtin composite primary key classes. However the DataNucleus enhancer provides a mechanism for auto-generating a primary-key class for a persistable class. It follows the rules listed below and should work for all cases. Obviously if you want to tailor the output of things like the PK toString() method then you ought to define your own. The enhancer generation of primary-key class is only enabled if you don't define your own class.
If you wish to use application identity and don't want to use the "SingleFieldIdentity" builtin PK classes then you must define a Primary Key class of your own. You can't use classes like java.lang.String, or java.lang.Long directly. You must follow these rules when defining your primary key class.
Please note that if one of the fields that comprises the primary key is in itself a persistable object then you have Compound Identity and should consult the documentation for that feature which contains its own example.
Here's an example of a composite (multiple field) primary key class
@Entity @IdClass(ComposedIdKey.class) public class MyClass { @Id String field1; @Id String field2; ... } public class ComposedIdKey implements Serializable { public String field1; public String field2; /** * Default constructor. */ public ComposedIdKey () { } /** * Constructor accepting same input as generated by toString(). */ public ComposedIdKey(String value) { StringTokenizer token = new StringTokenizer (value, "::"); //field1 this.field1 = token.nextToken (); //field2 this.field2 = token.nextToken (); } public boolean equals(Object obj) { if (obj == this) { return true; } if (!(obj instanceof ComposedIdKey)) { return false; } ComposedIdKey c = (ComposedIdKey)obj; return field1.equals(c.field1) && field2.equals(c.field2); } public int hashCode () { return this.field1.hashCode() ^ this.field2.hashCode(); } public String toString () { // Give output expected by String constructor return "" + this.field1 + "::" + this.field2; } }

Ray's Take As the real estate market recovers, more families are pulling out their dream home plans. They would be wise to watch that classic movie, "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream Home."
Cost overruns are almost a given. It's largely a question of just how high those overruns rise, and when to pull the plug. There are so many potential pitfalls. In addition to asking if you can afford the home, you need to ask if your marriage is strong enough to survive the project.
However, with exceptional and detailed preparation, you might keep your dream house from becoming a financial and family nightmare. It starts with knowing everything about the building site – zoning ordinances, soil, flood zone, easements, etc. – and making sure your plan is suitable.
Working with your architect, come up with as detailed specifications as possible. The more specific you make the plans and materials now, the less likely you'll want expensive change orders later. Plus, your financing needs to be in place before ground is broken, complete with a plan for over-runs.
Then there's the contract with the builder – a reputable builder you've carefully vetted. There's a lot of money at stake here, so be sure you understand every contract line.
Once building begins, visit the site often with the builder. Be hands on and keep track of details. If you eliminate something, be sure it is documented. The same goes for any additions. Ask questions and monitor bills. Make decisions promptly, as delays can cost money.
Stay on top of things, and as your home nears completion, maybe you won't be in the same position as the very real person who inspired that movie. His budget was $11,000 (this was the 1930s) the house came in at $56,000. Just multiply that by 10 to bring things to 2013 costs.
Dana's Take More than one marriage has fallen apart while that supposed dream home was being built. The idea of building a new home is exciting, but there's a lot of hard work that goes into it, too.
Obviously, communication is key for partners building a home. However, it's more than agreeing on a budget and kitchen size. There needs to be cohesion over the division of the myriad jobs necessary to see a new home to completion.
From picking out details like cabinet handles and light switch covers to keeping a constant eye on worksite activity, there's a lot to be done. Deciding up front who will do what and how you'll keep each other in the loop is crucial.
Your builder and all the contractors need to know you are a united force and on the same page when it comes to important – and even minor – decisions. If you aren't, not only will your house not turn out as desired, you may develop cracks in your relationship as well.

The International Partnership Group for Azerbaijan--a coalition of 20 press freedom organizations, including CPJ--issued a joint call to the Council of Europe today to continue pressing Baku to release imprisoned journalist Eynulla Fatullayev.
On Friday, the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers--the body tasked with supervising the implementation of the rulings of the Strasbourg-based European Court of Human Rights by member-states--issued a strongly worded decision, calling on Azerbaijan to "remove without further delay" all obstacles to Fatullayev's release. The European Court had issued two decisions, in March and October 2010, ordering that Fatullayev be freed at once. As a Council of Europe member, Azerbaijan is bound to abide by the court's decisions, but has been defying the ruling on Fatullayev for a year.
Friday's decision by the Committee of Ministers followed a three-day joint mission to Strasbourg by CPJ, Article 19, Index on Censorship, and the Media Rights Institute-Baku.

History:The North American B-25 Mitchell series of medium bombers went on to become one of the classic American aircraft designs to emerge during World War Two. Designed as early as 1939, the series was built to specifications as required by the United States Army. The B-25 would go on to gain national fame in the United States as the aircraft used by the famous "Doolittle Raiders", the end result having shown the American ability to bomb the heart of Tokyo from a USN carrier stationed in the Pacific (USS Hornet).

ForumsGetting Things Done®Next Actions
Next Actions
How do you handle next actions? I'm new to Toodledo but have been following GTD for years. I'm trying to figure out how to set things up Projects and Next Actions.
I'll probably use tags to group tasks by projects and people. But that will get messy after a while. I really see projects as a higher level task and action items as sub-tasks. I would be nice to have sub-tasks.
But the bigger challenge, whether using Outlook, Palm, or paper has been how to deal with Next Actions. Generally, I just type all the actions in the project. Then I create the first next action. After I complete the action, I then create the next action, and so on, until the project is done. That's not efficient and so I rarely follow it strictly. I would love for an application that would pop up the next action on a project action list as soon as I complete its predecessor. Project management software (e.g., MS Project, OpenProj, Open Work Bench) does that but that is overkill and too time intensive to set up for daily use.
Pre-creating all next actions is messy and confusing if the application doesn't support task sequencing.
How have you GTD followers configured Toodledo to manage next actions (sequencing) without lot's of manual data-entry?
Oops. I see that Toodledo does offer a sub-task feature in the Pro version, which I'm not in the trial period of. But this looks just like a grouping function, which is helpful, but it has no sequencing.
Posted: Aug 12, 2008
I use folders for projects, tasks for actions and the status of next action to denote the next action for each project. This method requires reviewing all tasks in a folder after a next action is completed to determine the next "next action" but I find that review to be highly useful in determining what to do next. I much prefer that to having to determine the sequence ahead of time.
My work-around is to put numbers for the context (1, 2, 3, 4, etc) and then assign context 1 for the first step, context 2 for the second step, etc.. I then sort by context and it puts them in the proper order. It works pretty well for me.
Posted: Aug 12, 2008
For sequencing, try using Time Due, ie. 1:01am, 1:02am, etc. Works great!
Thanks for the tips, but none are ideal for me. vegheadjones comes the closest to being useful for me, although it adds to the visual clutter. I think I'd rather just brainstorm the tasks in the notes of the project task and manually create the next actions as I complete project tasks.
Really, what I'm looking for is the auto-creation of a new task when another task is completed.
Activity sequencing and workflow support is probably asking too much of a $15/year task management SaaS. Projity costs $20/month/user and doesn't integrate with Google Calendar.
Posted: Aug 20, 2008
Hi Peaston,
Happy I could help. I don't find my lists to be too cluttered though, not when I commit to doing a weekly review where all projects and actions are reviewed and decided on.
I also used the saved search feature to pull out "next next action tasks" and review those on a daily basis. Basically these are ones with a priority of 2 and a status of active, though I used a saved search and no just look at priority because I also filter out things that a due later and want to include some other factors. This is what gets reviewed each day and after a next action in that project is completed. The other list gets reviewed during my weekly review.
I thought of using the priority field in exactly the manner you suggest. I'm still new to Toodledo. I suppose if I can order subtasks by priority that'll do a pretty good job. But it still would seem to clutter up my Context lists, which I what I mostly work in.
Posted: Aug 21, 2008
Make a saved search that shows only priority 3 and the contexts you are interested in. Voila-- a perfect next action list for you to work off of.

Blaise Siwula
Born 02-19-1950 in Detroit, MI
I have been involved with the arts for most of my life. I began studying the alto sax at the age of 14 in middle school and have been playing/ studying in varying capacities since.
After periodic explorations of drama, poetry, architecture, visual art, a B.F.A. and an M.F.A. and a stint in Europe, I arrived in NYC in 1989 with my family and an alto sax. In the past 26 years I have been actively involved with the NYC Improv Scene: Amica Bunker, the Improvisers Collective and most recently the C.O.M.A. series at ABC No-Rio since 1998. As a composer I have incorporated traditional musical scoring techniques with visual/graphical and performance oriented presentations and a simple philosophy- sound and vision are inter-related in life and art resulting in communication. As a performer I have been honored to perform in a number of states in the USA and Canada as well countries such as Great Britain, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Romania, Poland, Croatia, Morocco, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, The Philippines, Portugal, Mexico, Slovenia, Denmark, South Korea and Austria.
Although primarily an alto saxophonist I play a number of reed, flute, percussion and string instruments at varying degrees of competency per composition requirements and recently began including computer altered sound files in performance as background for improvisation. Currently my instruments of choice are: Alto, Tenor & Soprano Saxophones Bb Clarinet, Eb Alto Cl & Bb Bass Cl This has resulted in my performing and collaborating with an extreme variety of types of improvised musicians including...

The latest newsour webcam, or even the second one (but be quick, it might finally become password protected soon), but to appreciate the pure nature of chaos it is much more scientific to isolate it and show it's characteristics in a lab setting. Or a hackerspace.
Hence the below experiment, carried out by one of our most recent members and assistant professor at the TU Delft. He replicates a classic circuit that allows one to easily explore chaos, bifurcation and strange attractors from the comfort of one's electronics workbench. Driving the simple circuit, consisting of an inductor, a resistor and a diode, with a function generator drives the diode into a chaotic state. By varying amplitute and frequency of the sinusoid input various stable and unstable states can be visualised on an oscilloscope or even made audible.

As the Age of Human-Powered Vehicles comes to pass, we are seeing more utility bikes being used for around-town errands.
Many utility bikes are tricycles. I have fond memories of going for a pedicab ride in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. The owner let me try out his pedicab. It was hard going! In the Philippines, sidecars are popular.
However, there are quite a few two-wheel cargo bikes. They're designed to carry bulky loads that would be difficult to manage by someone riding a standard two-wheeler. Of course, we have all seen images of cyclists carrying immense loads on standard two-wheel bikes, so a cargo bike would be a luxury in some parts of the world.
Cargo bikes follow four basic styles: modified traditional, low-gravity, the Longjohn, and the Longtail.
The Royal Enfield low-gravity carrier bike was popular in the 1930s. It has a smaller front wheel and a front basket. The Longjohn also has a smaller front wheel than the rear, but it has a large basket low to the ground between the front wheel and handlebars. The Longtail is a longer bike with thicker tires and more room in the rear for a rack.
Specialized, a trendsetter in the bike industry, now offers a utility bike.
I recently rode a "performance" cargo bike similar to the Royal Enfield style, built by Dale Saso of San Jose, California. Dale has been building cargo bikes for 25 years. He makes his cargo bikes with quality, lightweight tubing. His personal bike, which I rode, has high-end components.
The ride takes getting used to, as is true for any bike. Because the basket covers the front wheel, you lose your frame of reference. The wheel turns independently of the basket. What's interesting is that as more weight was added to the basket, I found the ride became more stable.
Dale says that he has ridden his cargo bike to the summit of 4,200-foot Mt. Hamilton (19 miles one way) and loves the way it rides. "It's great for maneuvering in traffic," Dale says. "I like this bike more than any I've owned because it greatly reduces my need to drive a car."
Dale's cargo bike is in a league of its own. Most cargo bikes, such as the Longjohn, are less nimble and will give a completely different ride. What's unique about Dale's cargo bike is the front wheel, which has a 20-inch rim and 3-inch tires, found on electric motorbikes. It gives the bike increased stability.
Although everyone asks how much weight can be carried on a cargo bike, Dale insists this question misses the point. "The cargo bike is great for carrying groceries and large items, such as a box of oranges," Dale says. "It's not meant for carrying around stuff weighing hundreds of pounds."
Dale says his cargo bike design continues to evolve. He's working on a handy quick-release for the cantilever style carrier (bolting to the down tube and head tube) that holds the basket.

Sebring case raises email privacy questions
Former Des Moines School Superintendent Nancy Sebring's lawsuit over released emails raises new questions about privacy.
Des Moines School's released dozens of racy emails Sebring sent under her work account. The scandal those emails created forced Sebring to decline a superintendent job in Omaha.
So what right of privacy did Sebring have? And just how private are your work emails?
KCCI 8 News asked several employment attorneys what they think.
"When you're dealing with using technology in the workplace, you need to be very careful if you are using your employer's computer or computer system, said employment attorney Bruce Stoltze.
Stoltze said it doesn't matter if you work for a public or a private company -- no employee has a right to privacy if they're using the company's equipment.
"Because they own the material, they own that, and they have a right to access that information," said Stoltze.
So you might want to think before you type, text, tweet, or post
"In your emails, in anything you post on Facebook when you're at work, text messages, voicemails, really are the property of the company," said attorney Tom Duff.
But while a company has the right to access your information, having the right to make that information public is a whole different issue.
"The public has a right to know information about the public's employees. And that's the purpose of the open records act," said Stoltze.
But with an open records request comes a balancing act.
"It's up to the employer, and it's up to the court to then draw distinction between what is something that is the public's interest to know overrides the privacy interest of the employee," said Stoltze.
In Sebring's case, a judge ruled that her racy email exchanges were public record, so the district released them.

New panel series
VIPA Controls has developed and designed two new panel series: cloudPanel and smartPanel, to take account of current and future developments in the visualization market. The Franconian automation specialist has consciously intensified its focus on future technologies such as Cloud, WebVisu and Co. The new panels will be presented at the SPS IPC Drives 2017 in Nuremberg and are expected to be available from stock at the beginning of 2018.
Professional Panels
The VIPA Touch Panel family is suited for all applications in the factory, process and building automation. Due to the aluminum die-cast housing the VIPA Touch Panels are mechanically particularly robust. With the front-side IP65 protection, these devices also survive in harsh industrial environments.
The portfolio ranges from 5.7" TFT up to 12.1" TFT color display. The compact design allows the use of VIPA Touch Panels also in confined spaces. The panels can be operated either horizontally or vertically.
eco Panels
The new ecoPanels enable completely new and attractive possibilities for mechanical and system engineers: efficient visualization at attractive prices: Manifold application possibilities. The ecoPanel series are not only distinguished by uncompromising reliability and performance, but impressive by an unsurpassed price-performance ratio. Of course, we also paid attention to durability and quality of the products. This is achieved amongst others by a special construction, which enables a fanless and disc free operation. This means there are no moving parts inside the unit.
The VIPA ecoPanels in combination with Movicon Basic (full-valued + unlimited Basic license) offers incomparable advantages. The software concentrates the powerful Movicon technology in a simplified form into an extremely user friendly editing environment. This enables a high scalability and a considerable increase in performance for every project.
Panel PCs
The combination of industrial PC with state of the art performance features and a Touch Panel with ideal display capabilities enables the user to concentrate high performance into the smallest space. The latest Intel Atom processor technology, large integrated work memory and display resolutions of up to Full HD with the 21.5" panel PC are state of the art. The panels have also numerous useful interfaces just like other VIPA Touch Panels. The pre-installed operating systems Windows Embedded Compact 7 or Windows Embedded Standard 7 are state of the art in the PC world. For visualization your own programs or optionally the latest pre-installed Movicon visualization can be chosen.
Line displays
Line displays are used for the operation and monitoring of process parameters in machinery, plant and buildings.
TD 03 – Text Display
The compact VIPA Text Display TD 03 shows via a backlit LCD display defined message texts. Inputs and outputs, and process parameters can be set through the membrane keys and changed. The configuration of the messages and the parameter block is performed using the TD-Wizard from VIPA. The menu can be selected in English and German. The text display is designed for use in combination with VIPA CPUs 11x, 21x, 31x, 51x and the S7-300/400 CPUs designed by Siemens.
OP 03 – Operator Panel
The VIPA Operator Panel OP 03 is particularly suitable for operating and monitoring of small applications in conjunction with VIPA CPUs 11x, 21x, 31x, 51x and Siemens S7-300/400 CPUs. Up to seven OPs can be connected to a CPU and up 2 CPUs to an OP 03 via the MPI interface. For managing and processing operating notifications and data, 256 kByte user memory is available. Project planning is carried out with VIPA OP-Manager or Siemens ProTool.
CC 03 – Commander Compact
In the VIPA Commander Compact CC 03 a PLC CPU, programmable with Siemens STEP7, is integrated. Besides the 128 kByte user memory, the CPU has 16/24/32 kByte program and 24/32/40 kByte load memory (depending on version) . In addition, 16 digital inputs and outputs each are integrated. The CC 03 is expandable with up to four 100V or 200V modules (160 digital inputs/outputs, or up to 32 analog inputs/outputs respectively are supported).

"One of my goals is to engage students directly in the work of professional artists, whether as studio assistants, researchers, or design team members."
When asked about her life outside the Transylvania campus, Zoé Strecker really wanted to talk about laundry.
"All the little decisions I make about everyday life are similar to the decisions I make in artwork and teaching. Laundry is a great example. Even hanging my clothes on the clothesline is visual. My Greek grandmother, who was a seamstress—self-taught and visually a genius, taught me how to hang clothes so you can get the most in the least amount of space. In her Greek village they would position their clothes on the line so their more intimate garments were hidden. I still hang my things that way, even though I live out in the middle of nowhere. It's efficient and I use fewer pins.
"Process matters. Technique matters. That's what I'm constantly teaching in the classroom. It does matter how you join two things together."
Strecker grew up in a family of artists. Her mother raised her two daughters on the income she made as a functional potter. The family lived above her studio. "I mixed glazes and mowed grass as a kid," explained Strecker. "Studio techniques were just part of my everyday life."
Her sister, Erika, is a sculptor, and her husband, Mike Frasca, is a potter, with whom she has collaborated on several installations.
Strecker's interest in environmental issues and living sustainably influences her artistic work, her volunteer work, and how she manages her family farm. At home, she grows vegetables, keeps bees for honey, and raises chickens for their eggs as well as for their help controlling pests.
"We move the chickens around the farm so they can have fresh pasture. In the early spring we move them to the fruit orchard, where they eat the bugs before they make their way up the trunks and damage the fruit."
She also helps out at the nearby Mother Ann Lee hydroelectric plant, which was retrofitted from an old coal-burning power plant. "I've been involved with that project from the beginning. I take people on tours. I try to help communicate what they do through film or photos. I'll go out and check the generators, pump grease into bearings. Because I was there filming, the engineers felt comfortable teaching me how to do those things."
When Strecker decided to go to graduate school in upstate New York, she wanted to build a portable house to take with her. She bought an undercarriage with a heavy-duty suspension system and constructed a timber-framed 8-foot-wide by 22-foot-long house on top of it. Strecker cut cedar trees from her farm, hauled them to a mill in nearby Salvisa, Ky., and then used pegs to create the traditional mortise and tenon joints. In New York, she was able to park her house on a farm near a spring that provided water for her shower and a dairy barn that provided access to electricity.
"I had a gas heater. It's cold up there and all my insulation paid off. I built a porch on it and planted a garden. It was my miniature world. When I was finished at graduate school, I hitched it back up and hauled it home. Now I use it as a writing studio."
When working with students in an academic setting, Strecker believes in a lively blend of making work, studying the art of others, critically conversing with supportive peers, and absorbing cultural energy in local communities and around the world.
"It's always exciting when students begin to amaze themselves. This happens frequently, especially in introductory ceramics and sculpture classes, because most people have not had a chance to work in three dimensions. It can be more daunting than learning a foreign language.
"The thrill of opening a kiln or pulling a sculpture out of its mold is addictive, in the most positive sense. When intense engagement with materials and processes is combined with serious conceptual investigation, real art begins to happen."

Angelina Jolie is to direct a film about former prisoner of war.
The 'Salt' actress is to work on 'Unbroken', a big-screen adaptation of Laura Hillenbrand's best-selling book 'Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption'. The tale is a true story about 1936 Olympics competitor Louis Zamperini, who served as a US Army Air Forces bombardier in World War II, survived a plane crash and lived on a raft for 47 days, before being captured and sent to a Japanese prison camp.
Angelina says she feels "deeply honoured" to be allowed to bring Louis' story to life.
She said in a statement: "I read Laura Hillenbrand's brilliant book, and I was so moved by Louie Zamperini's heroic story, I immediately began to fight for the opportunity to make this film.
"Louie is a true hero and a man of immense humanity, faith and courage. I am deeply honored to have the chance to tell his inspiring story."
The movie will be made for Universal Pictures and Walden Media and the studio are delighted to have Angelina on board.
Universal Pictures co-chairs Adam Fogelson and Donna Langley said: "In her life and in her work, Angelina has embraced stories and causes involving great struggle and triumph over tremendous odds and the basic human condition. She has a real ability to illustrate the strength in human spirit which will be essential in telling Lou's story of survival and great heroism."
Angelina made her directorial movie debut with 2011 Bosnian war drama 'In the Land of Blood and Honey'.

One of the first things that came to mind when I heard that silverlight was going to be adding managed code support, was the potential to reuse code between the server and the client. I had been successfully following this methodology for my compact framework development, and now it was possible for silverlight web applications as well! [Insert happy dance here]
One of the main areas I like to reuse code has to do with the object model, and the validation thereof. Just as a reference, when I say "object model", I mean dumb data carriers for my entities. ie: Classes that contain only properties, not behavioural methods. Not that you can't add methods to your OM classes, I just prefer to keep them simple, and let other classes take care of behaviour / validation etc.
Okay - enough blog waffle, let's get straight into sharing your code between server and client!
Here's a picture of a typical basic silverlight architecture:
The idea is to share code between the .NET application layer and the silverlight client layer, and even allowing the classes for the shared code to be serialized over the wire.
NOTE: For the last bit (code sharing that involve "over-the-wire" serialization), you'll need to wait for the release of Silverlight 2 RTW . I can confirm that RTW release does allow the re-use of types in referenced assemblies. :)
Step 1: Define the code
Typically, there are 2 strategies for defining the canonical source of the code: 1) Place it in a shared location, and link it to projects that need it, or 2) Define it in the project with least namespace dependencies, and link it up to other projects.
If you're sharing code across the compact framework, silverlight, and the full .NET framework, I recommend 1), but if you only plan on using the code for one of the subset frameworks, I recommend 2), which is the one I'll describe in detail here.
The reason for defining the class in the silverlight class library is purely due to maintenance reasons. When modifying the source code, always modify it at it's source. That way you know you're not adding any code that depends on framework namespaces that do not exist.
eg: If I open the class where it is defined in the silverlight class library, and try and add a DataSet property, the designer will immediately tell me that this is not possible. If the class was defined in the server assembly, I would only find the dependency error at compile time when the client assembly compiles.
One final note on the class definition: It may be helpful to mark your classes with the "partial" keyword, as you may wish to extend the defined class into server and client specific implementations. That, or you could define new client and server types which inherit from the shared base implementation - whichever makes more sense in the underlying design.
Step 2: Link the Code to the Server Assembly
The idea is that there is only one version of the code on disk, otherwise it's just code duplication, and not code sharing / reuse.
To reuse the code defined in Step 1 in your server class library, do the following:
From the server assembly project menu, select "Add Existing Item", and navigate to the class file defined in Step 1. Instead of clicking the Add button (which would just duplicate the code) select the arrow next to the add button, and select "Add As Link"
You will notice that there is a little shortcut mark on the class icon in the solution explorer. This indicates that the file is declared elsewhere (your silverlight assembly in this case).
ie: Whenever you make changes to the class definition, it will automatically be reflected in all the places where the source code file is linked.
NOTE: Be careful not to open the file from the shortcut, as Visual Studio will open it assuming you are in the current project, and you will have access to all the .NET namespaces. ALWAYS edit the code by opening it from the canonical source.
Step 3: Share the Code Over WCF Services
If your code is going to be "traversing the wire", then mark it with the usual [DataContract] and [DataMember] attributes. (NOTE: Since the release of SP1, you don't need to explicitly mark your data members - only do so if you want to explicitly exclude certain properties from serialization. ) Make sure that System.Runtime.Serialization is referenced in all projects making use of the shared code file.
From the Silverlight client project, right click and select "Add Service Reference". Add a reference to the WCF service you would like to consume, making sure that the checkbox "reuse types in referenced assemblies" is checked in the advanced options (as displayed below).
When reusing types (which will only be available from silverlight 2 RTW), the svcutil, which is used to generate the client proxy class definitions for the DataContracts, will add references to the client versions of the code (the class created in Step 1) instead of generating them in the Reference.cs file of the service.
...And that's it - now you're sharing C# code between server and client.
I'm currently finding this very handy for executing common business rules on object classes on the client in order to prevent unnecessary round tripping to the server.
It's also become very handy for generic framework implementations using the common base classes. Also, If you have the same DataContract defined in two separate services, instead of them being defined twice (once for each service reference), both services reference the existing client-side class, allowing the generic code implementation mentioned above.
I'm working on posting some (simple) sample source code - watch this space.

These days, digging is more than just grabbing a shovel or hand posthole diggers and hitting the dirt; sophisticated, productive earth drilling equipment exists.
And though they all achieve the same basic end result – a hole – all one-man earth drills are not the same.
No longer "just a hole digger," designs and features have advanced and improved over the years – the industry has come a long way from the simple hand method of digging.
With many models and accessories available, units are now able to match specific applications and cut through virtually any type of ground.
Whether the project calls for several, identical holes in typical lawn soil, or a single, large hole in rocky soil, there is a model and appropriate accessories available to achieve the best results safely and efficiently.
Because each machine will perform better in certain situations, and offer features and options to further enhance the process, it's important to consider the entire scope of the digging project when selecting a drill.
All aspects, from the soil structure and project location to the hole depth, diameter and frequency will come into play.
But despite differences in projects, the bottom line remains the same – choosing the proper drill will complete the job fast and effectively, and even help to dig up some ROI along the way.
Play It Safe
It's a widely understood rule that digging into the ground can be extremely dangerous.
One-call phone numbers have been established for every area across the country to help protect operators and let them know what's below the surface before digging.
But the drill itself can pose a safety threat to the operator too, making it imperative to look for units designed with added safety features.
Certain models incorporate the engine and auger into one piece, while some manufacturers offer a configuration that places the engine on a wheeled chassis, which sits back a few feet from the operation point.
Compared to models that mount the engine right on the operator's handle, a separate mounting keeps harmful exhaust emissions at a distance.
Even in well-ventilated areas, carbon monoxide poisoning is serious, and minimizing its likelihood of occurring in any way will greatly increase operator safety.
This style may also protect the operator in additional ways.
Some models with a separate engine chassis utilize a steel torque tube that protects operators from potential harm by transferring digging torque from the drill head to the engine carriage.
This allows operators to use larger diameter augers without fear of dangerous kickback.
Additionally, the torque tube enhances drilling ease and reduces operator fatigue, effectively improving overall drilling safety.
A more alert, less fatigued operator will be more likely to pay attention and handle the drill properly.
And as an added benefit, easier operation will reduce physical stress on the operator, including back problems and muscle strains.
A pressure relief valve is another safety feature to look for, and one that is often incorporated on hydraulic units.
If the auger becomes overworked and the drill reaches a certain hydraulic pressure, the valve will release, stopping the auger's rotation.
This halts the drill before it reaches a point where it stops the engine or causes damage to the machine.
Mechanical units are also built with unique safety features, one in particular is a centrifugal clutch.
If a buried object is encountered or the auger is overloaded, the clutch automatically slips, protecting the operator from serious injury.
Additionally, this eliminates potential damage to the drive cable and transmission gears, reducing the likelihood of expensive repairs or full replacement.
Extra, Extra
When the crucial considerations have been identified, and the drill choice and accessories have been narrowed down, the final decision rests in the details.
From ergonomic designs and the unit's engine to reduced maintenance and enhanced portability features, these extra features play a major role in finding a productive solution that will maximize overall drilling efficiency and safety.
Whether an experienced operator or first-time hole digger, all ultimately desire a machine that's easy to use.
An ergonomically designed piece of equipment will provide a more comfortable, user-friendly experience, further enhancing operation ease.
First, a unit with large, easy-to-grip handles will allow for better control and more comfortable operation.
Additionally, look for a model that places operator controls right on, or in close proximity to the handle.
Certain functions, such as a hydraulic unit's forward/reverse switch should be adjacent to the machine's on/off switch for added convenience.
Choosing a unit with a high-quality engine is a must, as a drill's operation is greatly dependent on its engine.
Look for one from a reputable manufacturer that includes a warranty and adequate service network.
For portable units offering the engine on a separate chassis, one that includes a durable steel frame will help protect the engine and its components.
To ensure the machine is safe for even the most delicate lawns and turfs, consider a unit with large, pneumatic or semi-pneumatic tires.
The benefit will be two-fold, as quality tires won't damage turf, and will also allow the unit to easily traverse a variety of terrain conditions.
Beyond providing multiple auger tips, look for a manufacturer that also offers augers in multiple lengths and diameters.
Some manufacturers offer snap-on augers, making the change-out process quick and easy, and eliminating the need for extra tools.
Snap-on auger extensions offer the ability to achieve various digging depths without requiring multiple augers, adding versatility and saving money.
Finally, just like any piece of jobsite equipment, an earth drill that's easy to care for is ideal.
In the event the machine becomes damaged, a unit that can be serviced in the field, and doesn't require special tools to do so, will be most convenient.
As an added bonus, a drill that's easy to maintain will encourage the operator to stick to a routine maintenance schedule, preventing future issues, enhancing longevity and ultimately maximizing the drill's ROI potential.
Thanks to the advancements in drill designs, as well as the available features and accessories, what was once a simple hole digger is now much more – it's a complete solution to any digging project, simple or complex.
Taking the time to learn about the available options prior to selection will ensure the success of a project on all levels – from safety and productivity to quality and equipment ROI.
