Multiple fires occurred in our area compounded by lightning strikes, heat, wind and, Fourth of July fireworks. A fire in the Fruitland Ridge area burned one home and threatened another, prompting an attack on the fire using ground crews as well as multiple aircraft.
Also, Fourth of July fireworks are suspected causes of fires in Shelter Cove, including several small fires and a larger fire near Little Black Sands Beach that threatened several homes and presented challenges to fire fighters.
Additionally, several lightening-related fires, including one in the Harris area, were reported and extinguished on July 3. Another fire, that occurred near the intersection of Redwood Drive and Alderpoint Rd., Garberville, on Thurs. July 4, was also extinguished-see photos, above and below, taken by Felix Omai.
Use the player below to hear two fire-related stories, aired on the KMUD Local News Fri., July 5, 2013, by KMUD News correspondent Eileen Russell. The first piece gives details on the recent fires and includes interviews with Cheryl Anthony, Public Information Officer for the Shelter Cove Volunteer Fire Dept., and David Janssen Spokesman for Calfire. The second story is a report from Eric Black focusing on fire and other health-related issues associated with climate change and includes excerpts from a talk given by Dr. Wendy Ring, a 56-year old family physician who is riding a bicycle across the country to draw attention to the negative health impacts of climate change.
Brian Elie and Eric Kirk were recipients of the first-ever recognition for exceptional volunteerism and professional pro-bono work to KMUD for their assistance in handling the legal and real estate issues involved in two estates bequeathed to KMUD.
Brian Elie, the broker and owner of the Madrone Reality in Garberville and longtime KMUD programmer (Brian's World- Fridays 10 am - noon), was warmly applauded as he received a lifetime membership award and KMUD sweatshirt at the KMUD 2013 Annual KMUD Membership Meeting held last Tues., June 25 at the Healy Senior Center in Redway.
Eric Kirk, Attorney at Law with offices at 864 Locust St # A, Garberville, does a talk show on KMUD called "All Things Reconsidered" airing on the third Thurs. of each month from 7-8 pm. Kirk was not able to attend the membership meeting for the presentation.
According to Board Treasurer, Julia Minton, "In addition to their years of volunteer service to KMUD, both Brian Elie and Eric Kirk worked very diligently and selflessly on KMUD's two bequests. We are eternally grateful for their dedication and volunteer service."
Other highlights of the annual meeting included a final call for Member Representative Nominations for the Board and a "Strategic Planning Input Process" that gave those attending the meeting an opportunity to write answers to several questions, including questions about what KMUD does well and what would be the perfect KMUD programming? These responses will be taken into consideration as the Board continues developing its strategic plan.

Anthony Ray Lane, a person of interest sought in connection with the homicide investigation of a 57 year-old man in the 3700 block of Rancho Sequoia Drive, Alderpoint, was located in a motel in Willits and arrested early this morning by Willits Police Officers, assisted by Mendocino County Sheriff's Officers. Lane was booked into the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office for suspicion of murder and possession of a stolen vehicle. More details can be found in the HCSO press release below.
HCSO Press Release, Fri., June 28, 2013:
On Thursday June 27, 2013 at about 11:30 PM, Officers from the Willits Police Department located the black Jeep Cherokee that was believed to be operated by suspect Anthony Lane. The Willits Police Officers had received a "be on the lookout" broadcast issued by the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office for this homicide investigation. The vehicle was found in the parking lot of a motel in the Willits area. On June 28, 2013 at about 12:30 AM, officers of the Willits Police Department, with the assistance of deputies from the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office, located Lane in one of the rooms of the hotel. Lane was taken into custody without incident and was transported to the Humboldt County Line, where deputies from the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office took custody of Lane. Lane was booked into the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office for suspicion of murder and possession of
a stolen vehicle (the black Jeep Cherokee).
At this time the motive for the crime is being investigated. There does not appear at this time to be a connection with this homicide to the earlier marijuana cultivation investigation and arrests that took place in the same area. The homicide does not appear to be a home invasion, marijuana related or in association with the Garret Rodriguez missing person investigation.
The Humboldt County Coroner's Office is still in the process of notification of family members of the victim of this suspected homicide. For that reason, the name of the victim is not being released. An autopsy is scheduled for Saturday June 29, 2013 and the cause of death is not being released until after the autopsy is concluded and it will not jeopardize the investigation. The lead investigator is Detective Franco (707) 268-3644 or (707) 445-7251, anyone with information about this investigation is encouraged to telephone Detective Franco at the listed
Latest arrest booking photo of Lane shown below.

A man entered the Bank of America in McKinleyville this morning (Thurs., June 27, 2013 ) and reportedly waved a black revolver at tellers and customers announcing that it was a bank robbery. The suspect then, according to the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office press release, jumped over the counter and began loading money into a bag. The suspect (see photo above) fled westbound on Hiller Avenue, dropping money as he ran, and drove away in a white Nissan Pathfinder or Xterra type vehicle with tinted rear windows driven by a second suspect. The vehicle was last seen westbound on Hiller Avenue.
The suspect is described as a Black Male Adult, 5-9 to 5-10" tall, around 30 years of age, wearing black tennis shoes with thin white strips on the arches, grey sweat pants, black sweat shirt, red under shirt, grey cotton style gloves, aviator style sunglasses, white bandana across face and a short cropped mustache to lip line.

Update Thurs., June 27, 2013- According to a telephone conversation today with Bob Rinker, Manager of the Statements and Use Program, California State Water Board, the goal of the program is to get people to comply voluntarily in reporting their water diversions. If the enforcement section of the program does a review and finds that a person has complied voluntarily, even though they missed the initial filing in 2010, the agency is less likely to take any punitive action against that person. In other words, he suggests that people required to report do so ASAP. The form for filing your water diversion for the first time can be obtained using the link below.
Click here to download State Water Resources Control Board "Initial Statement of Water Diversion and Use Form."
The original post on this story appears below.
The deadline for complying with California State Water Board requirements for reporting water diversions (taking and using water from rivers streams and springs) is July 1, 2013. Most diversions covered by this mandatory reporting requirement are from surface water taken and used from rivers and streams or from springs that flow off the property in which the total amount of spring water diverted is 25 acre-feet or more per year. More information on what diversions are specifically required for this reporting requirement can be obtained by clicking here.
According to the State Water Board website, the main purpose of the "Statement Program" is to create a central repository for records of diversions and uses of water. The site also states that: "Failure to file a statement may subject you to civil liabilities that carry a maximum fine of $1,000 plus $500 for each day the violation continues after 30 days of the State Water Board notifying you of the violation."

A separate offshore auction drew just one bidder.
Italian wind energy association Anev predicted the sector would now add only about 250MW annually. Even the most optimistic estimates see annual new wind capacity gains capped at about 400MW in the next few years, compared to roughly 1GW of new capacity installed each year since 2008.
Only 18 projects totalling 442MW participated in the auction for onshore wind projects above 5MW, and all were awarded a FIT. Some of these projects are under construction and were already eligible for a subsidy if completed by April 2013, making their FIT auction bids little more than insurance against late completion.
One silver lining in the auction was the fact that some major investors saw a business case for Italian wind projects at prices well below current levels. State energy management agency GSE, which ran the auction, said onshore wind FITs were awarded at an average discount to the €127/MWh base bidding price of 7.8%.
Grid parity close
Discounts varied from the 2.5% offered by Italy's Erg Renew to the 24.4% Portugal's EDP Renovaveis agreed for one project in Apulia. That adds up to a FIT between €96/MWh and €123.83/MWh, compared to the current incentive level of around €155/MWh, although the new FIT will be for 20 years rather than the 15 years of the old system.
"Wind is getting closer to grid parity," says Tommaso Barbetti, a partner at renewable energy consultancy Elemens.
Just one 30MW offshore project participated in the offshore auction for 650MW in capacity, easily securing the maximum FIT, set at 2% below a base price of €165/MWh.
A FIT was assigned to the maximum 60MW of small-scale projects, but there were no bidders for a 150MW FIT in repowering projects outside the auction process.
Repowering is st an early stage in Italy and repowered projects must go through the same authorisation process facing new wind farms. However, analysts believe repowering will be an increasingly important source of capacity growth as many of the best wind sites use old, less efficient technology.

The HIV integrase inhibitor, raltegravir (RAL), which was recently approved by the FDA, has been shown in several trials to be highly effective. The main study will estimate the viral load decay rate in treatment-naive HIV-infected participants receiving RAL and emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF).
This substudy of A5248 will similarly examine the characteristics of decrease in viral load but will focus on estimating the time at which first-phase viral decay starts, following initiation of the study drugs.
|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections Treatment Naive
Recent data suggest that early virologic response to HIV interventions may be predictive of long-term virologic outcomes. Defining early decay in viral load through carefully performed studies of viral dynamics may be a useful tool for assessing the likely outcome of long-term treatment. It may also be a useful screening tool to define which combinations should be studied further. In the main study, the viral load decay rate will be estimated in HIV-infected, treatment-naive participants receiving RAL and FTC/TDF.
The A5248 study will last approximately 72 weeks. All participants will take RAL and FTC/TDF for 72 weeks. RAL will be provided by the study. FTC/TDF will not be provided.
A5248 will consist of 16 study visits. These visits will occur at study entry; Days 2, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28, and 56, and Weeks 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72. Blood collection and pharmacokinetic studies will occur at all study visits. Self-reported adherence assessments will be submitted at each visit. A targeted physical exam will occur at most visits. Liver function tests and urine collection will occur at select visits. Pregnancy tests will occur whenever pregnancy is suspected.
This substudy will enroll 10 participants from A5248. It is critical that substudy participants take their medications as directed to ensure accurate trial results. Any participant who discontinues study treatment will also be removed from the substudy and replaced. Participants will be asked about medication holds and adherence.
No medications will be provided by the substudy. Study treatment will be provided and administered as per the main study, A5248. After participants begin study medications, samples will be collected for the substudy. Participants will be required to stay overnight and in the hospital from Day 0 until Day 2. The morning study medication dose will be administered in the clinic on Days, 2, 3, 4, and 7.
Medication diaries will be provided for participants on Day 2. Participants will be instructed to record the times they take their study medications through Day 7 of the study. Participants are required to bring these diaries to their study visits on Days 3, 4, and 7 for review.

If Elaine Silets ever writes her autobiography — and we can only hope she does, and soon — it will have to be published in a couple of volumes. The woman has stories.
Born in Chicago to a lawyer father (the Marx Brothers were among his clients) and concert pianist mother, she graduated from Bennington College in Vermont, and lived in Paris as a grad student, artist and art dealer. Returning to the U.S., she married Chicago attorney Harvey Silets, raised three children, helped run her husband's practice, and then almost by accident founded a high-end model railroad business.
Huff & Puff Industries (trainlady.com), begun more than 20 years ago, designs, builds and installs meticulously detailed layouts for botanic gardens, shopping centers, retailers, private gardens and individuals across the country. Working from a drafting office in her north suburban home, Silets has her hands full with projects.
Her interest in trains is one of those wonderful stories. An uncle in the wholesale hardware business before World War II astutely saw where things were heading and would go to fire sales, buying up items he figured people would need once war broke out. Among his purchases: a box with two model trains. One went to Elaine's brother.
Her brother wasn't interested, she says. "I was 3. He was 9. I thought dolls were very boring. All they did back then was pee. My parents let me have his trains. I set them up and ran them all over the house. Trains! They're mechanical things that moved. They made sounds. Smoke tablets — my god, smoke tablets!"
How many women her age — she declines to be specific — get excited about smoke tablets?
She also gets excited talking about her late husband, their kids and grandchildren and her favorite charity. And, of course, trains.
Q: You started in the art world.
A: I got a degree in fine arts from Bennington, then I spent four years in Paris and did graduate work there. I went to L'Ecole Superieur des Beaux Arts. Then I became a dealer in high-end museum-quality artwork. I did it about 10 years.
Q: Where did you meet Harvey?
A: I came back to Chicago from Paris, and my mother gave a cocktail party for my return. One of my oldest friends brought his new roommate. And he asked me to marry him on our second date. My father told him, "You must be batty to marry my daughter, but you'll never be bored." And for 44 years, he was never bored.
Q: Speaking of your father ... the Marx Brothers?
A: My father (Martin Stanton Gordon) was an entertainment lawyer, back when Chicago was the center of the movie industry. The Marx Brothers were clients. The Marx Brothers in real life were just like they were in the movies. My father would get a call. "We've got them down at 11th and State." One call, they were staying at the Palmer House, and they had dismembered a piano and thrown the pieces out the window.
Q: You and Harvey raised your family, and eventually you went to work for him.
A: After my third child went to first grade, I went to help my husband start a new practice. I was supposed to stay two weeks. I stayed 16 years. Then the practice merged (in 1991) and I was out of a job. .... I was getting bored, so I decided I wanted to build a garden railway. Harvey said I'd never do it. But about a month later, we had a garden railway. One day I got a call from Tom McComas (a nationally known model railroading expert). He came out and photographed it, and it was in one of his videos. The following month, 10 copies of the video arrived. So I was feeling full of beans. I figured, if I could market something as dull as lawyers, I could market this. I sent the 10 videos to prospective clients — Neiman Marcus, Hammacher Schlemmer. The next day I got a call and the woman said she was from Neiman Marcus. I said, "Are my brassieres in?" She said, "No. We're interested in marketing your trains." And that's how I got into the business.
Q: There's a lot of hands-on work in building these layouts. Where'd you learn all that?
A: (Starting out) I was getting very annoyed at the plumber and carpenter I was employing. They wouldn't show up, and I'd have to explain to my clients. So I learned to do those things. Over the years people used to come up to Harvey: "You're married to the train lady. I bet you did the plumbing and electric (on the layouts)." He'd tell them, "I'm a trial lawyer. She does all that."
Q: You open your railway gardens to the public every year for a garden walk. This year you had 5,000 visitors, and it benefits Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan.
A: Yes. The Harvey M. Silets Memorial Scholarship. There have been nearly 100 Silets scholars.
Q: Have you thought about slowing down?
A: Looking at my friends who are going into retirement living, I'm appalled. They may be doing that to get some help with their lives, or for safety reasons, but that's not what I would want. I'd never want to be surrounded by people my age. I love kids. Little kids, bigger kids. That's what makes my life vibrant.
Q: You've been an artist, a mother, worked in the legal world, started a business ... what advice would you share?
A: What has driven me is this: Take a challenge and run with it. Don't let anybody tell you you can't do something. If you don't know how to do something, educate yourself. Learn how. Also, take everything with a grain of salt. Nobody is God. If you doubt what they're telling you, go find out. Another thing: My father used to have time for everybody. He was very interested in the paperboy. He was very interested in the clerk at Marshall Field's. Just interested in everybody. That's something I want them to know. Don't be snobby. You miss the best things in life.

This week, Doctor Anonymous Show 148 has an exclusive interview (really). In his first interview following the announcement of the Medgadget awards last week, we have the winner of the 2009 Medgadget Medical Weblog Award Sponsored by Epocrates - In the Best Literary Category - StoryTellERdoc will be joining us. I always enjoy reading people's first blog, and here is a portion of the very first post called "I Am".......
Hmmm, what am I? I don't think I ever had trouble describing myself before, but as I sit here in front of this blank screen, I realize that I don't quite know how to start an honest description of myself. I will try my best, though, so you have an understanding of my perspective in the stories I will share.One of my other faves is the post called "Why Medicine" in which he answers the question of why he chose this career.
First and foremost, I am not perfect. Who is, really? My attempts to have the perfect life have all been in vain and, instead of fighting that fight, I have come to realize with age that my imperfections may be much more interesting.
Secondly, I am observant. I seem to grasp the smaller life moments that may be missed or may seem mundane to someone without a searching eye. It's these simple, boring moments that hold so much more excitement. These moments of rawness and realness make me thankful to be walking the path that I am on.
So, I hope you'll be able to join us live on Thursday, February 25, 2010 at 9pm Eastern Time for Doctor Anonymous Show 148. For those who may be new to the show, there is a chat room during the show. You can also call in to say hello. There is even a webcam so that you can see me do the show live before your very eyes. Don't forget to become a Facebook Fan of the show. Hope to see you for this week's show!

Jerlin Julieta, 17, from Costa Rica, is a senior in high school and a CFCA scholarship student. To fulfill the service component required of all CFCA scholarship recipients, Jerlin, who graduates this year, helps the project staff in several different areas. She accompanies social workers on home visits, and she helps with office work. She is the leader in her community, especially in activities related to the other scholarship students in the area. Together, they help with monthly meetings, celebrations, etc.
Rafa Villalobos, San Jose project coordinator, said that Jerlin means a lot to the project staff. They felt especially protective of her after her father died.
"In the midst of great difficulty, she has moved on, overcoming obstacles," Rafa said. "When Don Roberto heard her testimony during a mission awareness trip, he said her story was a cathedral of hope."
In the video below, Jerlin talks about how the CFCA scholarship program has helped her through many obstacles in life and how receiving a good education is allowing her to achieve her dreams.

Jessie - posted on 03/31/2011 ( 419 moms have responded )
I FEEL pregnant. I am 4 days late and have had two negative home pregnancy tests. I have been feeling tired and queesy for over a week. At first I thought perhaps the mono I had in november creeping back up on me. Then I realized my period was late, I took a test it was negative.The next day I started having cramps so I thought ok it's on its way. Today I still have some cramps and am still queesy off and on. Took another test, negative. We have a 20 month old son, but I didn't not take a test with him until about 5.5 weeks along. With him I was also tired and crampy, bloated for over a week past my expected period I just kept thinking it was on its way because of the cramps, so I delayed taking a test.
Do you think it's possible that I am and it just didn't show up yet? A friend of mine said this happened to her so I am a little concerned

President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) said in his New Year's Day address that the nation's new industrial policy is to develop "hidden champions" in Taiwan's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) which have a leading status in their respective businesses in terms of key technologies and global competitiveness.
In his speech, Ma said he had recently visited several SMEs in different parts of the country and was impressed by these smaller-scale companies that have quietly secured unique but solid positions in the world market.
The president named a few companies, such as ball-bearing maker Tungpei Industrial Co in Taoyuan County, high-pressure gas cylinder producer Mosa Industrial Corp in Yunlin County and Gloria Material Technology Corp in Greater Tainan, which supplies steel for the global aviation, aerospace and energy industries. He said these companies might not be household names, but represented the true hidden champions of Taiwan's economy.
Ma's remarks echoed what Premier Sean Chen (陳冲) told Cabinet officials in August, that Taiwan should transform domestic SMEs into the kind of mittelstand companies which have become the engines driving Germany's export sector. At that time, Chen set a goal of turning 100 Taiwanese SMEs which possess key technologies and market products under their own brand names into hidden champions in three years.
Clearly, the government is trying to reinvigorate smaller export-orientated companies in a manner similar to the German economic model to reverse the declining market share of Taiwan-made products, while revamping local contract manufacturing industrial clusters to own-brand industries.
Borrowing the term "hidden champions" from German business consultant Hermann Simon in a study of the role of mittelstand companies in Germany's exports success, the Taiwanese government aims to upgrade local SMEs, which account for more than 90 percent of the nation's businesses, to help build a sustainable economy. In Germany, the mittelstand companies account for about 70 percent of exports, with "hidden champions" contributing about 25 percent of the total.
It would be nice if the government's hidden champions plan could be handled smoothly: Just provide a blueprint of industrial development, the necessary assistance in recruitment, financing and intellectual property rights protection, and wait for the efforts to bear fruit. Unfortunately, that is no easy task.
Take the four German companies that Chen mentioned in August, for example — lens maker Carl Zeiss, drinking water filtration system provider Brita, dishwasher maker Winterhalter and Dorma Group, which supplies door technology products and systems. They have remained market leaders for decades because of the inherent attributes of the companies, regardless of government assistance. Though not big in size, many are family-run businesses. They have secured market niches by focusing on specific products and are able to stay at the top of their sectors with heavy investment in research and innovation.
Furthermore, these companies have strong leadership; they are aggressive and focused in their business; they recruit highly competitive employees with a low turnover rate; they maintain close relationships with customers; and, most importantly, they pay as much attention to globalization as giant corporations do.

Hypothermia is an abnormally low body temperature. It is a dangerous condition that requires immediate medical attention.
Hypothermia occurs when your body loses more heat than it can produce. It is usually the result of being exposed to very cold temperatures. But it can also occur in other circumstances, such as:
- Being in less cold temperatures with a wind chill
- Wearing wet clothes
- Being in a position where you cannot move
- Being in cold water
- Certain medical conditions
Risk Factors
People who may have a higher risk of hypothermia include:
- Babies and young children
- Older adults
- Adults under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- People who are mentally ill
- People who spend long periods of time outdoors
Risk factors may also be increased by certain medications and conditions that make it harder for your body to stay warm.
Symptoms of hypothermia usually happen gradually. Over time, mental and physical abilities are lessened. The main symptoms of hypothermia are:
- Shivering—this increases the muscle activity in your body as your body tries to keep warm
- Confusion
- Clumsiness
- Memory loss
- Slurred speech
- Drowsiness
- Irritability
- Hallucinations—sensing things that are not real
- Slowed breathing
- Cold, pale skin
The situation becomes dangerous when shivering stops and confusion and drowsiness increase. Hypothermia is deadly because it causes the heartbeat to slow down, become irregular, and eventually stop.
Normal body temperature is 98.6°F (37°C). Hypothermia is diagnosed when body temperature reaches 95°F (35°C) or lower. Only a special rectal thermometer that reads low temperatures can confirm that someone has this condition.
It is important to act quickly if you suspect that you or someone else has hypothermia:
- Get to a warm, sheltered area.
- Remove any wet clothing.
- Use an electric blanket to warm the core of the body first—chest, neck, head, and groin.
- If no electric blanket is available, use skin-to-skin contact under loose blankets or towels.
- Give warm beverages to drink. Do not give alcoholic beverages.
- Get medical attention as soon as possible.
A person with severe hypothermia may be unconscious and appear to have no pulse. Medical attention is important because, in some cases, people can be saved even though they appear dead.
If you are planning to spend time outside, take the following precautions:
- Be aware of the weather.
Wear the right clothing:
- Hat, scarf, and mittens
- Several layers of loose-fitting clothing
- Water-resistant coat and shoes
- Wind-resistant outer layer
- Go inside when you are shivering or if you are wet.
- Do not drink alcohol.
- Eat well-balanced meals and stay hydrated.
Also, take special precautions with older adults, babies, and young children. If rooms are not kept warm enough, they can be affected by hypothermia even if they remain indoors.

I joined Memorial Sloan Kettering as an oncology nurse in 2001 and became a Nurse Leader in 2005. During these years I have had the opportunity to help care for thousands of people with cancer as well as be a part of shaping improvements in our patient care services.
As a Nurse Leader I work directly with medical and administrative staff to manage our treatment teams for leukemias, hematologic diseases, and bone marrow transplantation (in adults). I am in charge of recruiting and retaining a staff of more than 50 employees, and enjoy the opportunity to mentor many of these individuals.

I am very involved in designing and implementing healthcare innovations that provide a safe and positive experience for our patients. For example, I was part of a team of physicians, administrators, and others that developed a web-based tool for Memorial Sloan Kettering patients called MYMSKCC.org. Among other things, this "portal" enables patients to see their lab results online as well as communicate with their treatment team through electronic messaging. I have lectured and written extensively on the creation and use of patient portals.

I've got a graph and an iterator object gives me all its nodes according to a depth first search.
The source code looks like this:
DepthFirstIterator dfit = new DepthFirstIterator(graph);
while(dfit.hasNext()) {
// ???
I want to create another graph object inside the while loop. How should I treat the graph nodes which come from "dfit.next()"? Do I need a stack?
Simply copying the graph isn't possible, because the two graphs must come from two different libraries (JGraphT (origin) and Prefuse (target)).
All I can do additionally is to check whether two nodes in the origin are connected.
I'd appreciate any help!

Becoming a Recluse[edit]
Professions are where you'll make the most money in the new expansion pack, but they are not your only options. For those of you who want your Sims to stay at home, there are quite a number of ways to make some cash; some skills are new, and some are old skills with new features. This section will help you see the possibilities.
Let's head over to New Pyroville and check in on the Falkon family. This time around, the family isn't in the best shape you've seen them. See, Pyro was a complete idiot, and made a series of mistakes—that were completely his fault—that resulted in Aralia Rose running off and into the arms of Armando Villa…
Pyro has become extremely depressed. He locked himself in his bedroom and started to go on a self-destructive spree, breaking everything at the top of the tower, including his precious golden toilet. Pyro has even gone through a midlife crisis over this, changing over a bunch of his traits, and being forced to redecorate his vast bedroom. He is a broken Sim, but he brought it on himself, and holds absolutely no animosity toward Aralia. In fact, he wishes her the best, though thinking about her in another Sim's arms always causes him to lose control of his emotions.
No longer wanting to be a part of the outside world, Pyro decides that his best course of action is to pour himself into his writing; hey, it's certainly better than completely wallowing in self-pity, especially because he hasn't given up hope of patching things up with Ara.
Thanks to the expansion, Pyro gets to declare himself a writer, opening up new opportunities and not be flagged as a no-good unemployed mooch. Pyro's first act is to pick up his phone, and use the new "Jobs and Professions… | Register as Self-Employed… | Writer" command.
Note that Pyro has two possibilities when he gets to the "Self-Employed" part: he could have chosen to be a self-employed photographer too. You can register as self-employed in nine different skill sets. We'll explore a few of them during this section of the guide.
The reason Pyro only had two possibilities is because of his skill levels. You can only register as self-employed if you have at least one point in the applicable skill. Pyro is up to Level 10 in Writing and Level 3 in Photography. He has other skills, of course, but nothing that could be exploited as self-employment.
After making the call, Pyro leaves the towers and goes to City Hall. You can register as for self-employment directly from City Hall if you choose to, but regardless, you need to head there to "sign some paperwork." Stupid bureaucrats.
The nice thing about being self-employed is the ease of promotions. There are still ten levels to deal with, but check out the responsibilities screen…
Yep, all Pyro has to worry about is making money. He gets promoted up the ladder simply by having books to sell. Because Pyro is already at Level 10 in writing, his promotions are going to come quickly because just one book will rocket him up the career track in a hurry. The main reason skill gains aren't part of the responsibilities is because, even if he was just starting out as a writer, the Writing skill will naturally go up as a part of doing the job. With all other jobs, it's basically your choice whether you work on the skill or the job; as a self-employer, working on the skill is part of the job, and something you can't avoid.
As a writer, Pyro is not required to do any certain genre. Pyro can write anything he wants, for as long as he wants, any time. If your writer Sim wants to be the next JK Rowling and do nothing but fantasy books, more power to you. Pyro personally is trying to write a little of everything, but that's only because of the way I'm playing him, not for any goal or specific reason. (In reality, about the only things the real PyroFalkon can write well are videogame strategy guides, Final Fantasy fan-fiction, and professional wrestling commentary!)
That's not to say you won't get opportunities to write something specific. Pyro shortly gets a literal job opportunity to write an autobiography because a fan really loves his stuff. Pyro accepts the opportunity, which luckily doesn't have a time limit, because he is already in the middle of writing a different book. The way the opportunity is, once Pyro completes and submits his next autobiography, he'll gain a monetary bonus (which also goes toward his job experience), as well as increase his relationship with one Charla Leggett.
About the time Pyro finishes his autobiography, he gets a paycheck for literally over $42,000 for his book royalties. This was from all his writing prior to the expansion pack… and sadly, it doesn't count for his job experience. It's not that royalties don't normally count; they do. It's just that Pyro's job experience bar only climbs for book earnings he acquires after registering as being self-employed. All the money for all the books he wrote prior to registering as self-employed is great, and who doesn't want $42,000 added to his family bank account? But the point is, it doesn't help him get promoted.
Most of the self-employment skills are like this: gardening, writing, painting, fishing, guitar playing, nectar making, and photography (the latter two only if you have The Sims 3: World Adventures also installed) all depend on doing your skill and making money from it. If you have multiple skills, nothing really damaging happens if you do multiple things at once, it just may not help your job experience. For example, you may remember that Pyro has three points in his Photography skill. He can still shoot pictures and earn some cash, but it obviously won't help him get promoted as a self-employed writer no matter how much he makes. Of course, if he really wants a change of pace, he'll change jobs, though he'll be starting back over at Level 1.

LAGHMAN PROVINCE, Afghanistan - While many are familiar with the 1970s song "Love Will Keep Us Together" by The Captain and Tennille, the title can be tweaked for the 21st century to "Technology Will Keep Us Together."
Spc. Christopher Chavez, a 20-year-old intelligence analyst from A Company, 4th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, witnessed the birth of his first child via Skype at Forward Operating Base Gamberi, Afghanistan.
Alice Renee Chavez was born Jan. 3 to Chavez and his wife Paige both from Buckeye, Ariz.
In a perfect world, Christopher would have been physically present to welcome his baby girl into the world. Fortunately, Skype was readily available to connect the father to his wife and baby during this exciting time.
"It was one of the best feelings I have ever experienced," he said. "Seeing both my wife and my newborn while in Afghanistan was incredible."
Christopher's chain of command was equally excited about him becoming a father.
"I know it is difficult to miss the birth of a child, and a father's firstborn is particularly special, but Spc. Chavez has proven to be a vital member of our company," said Capt. Eric Francis, the A Company commander of Muscatine, Iowa. "While I wish he could be home to help his wife with their daughter, I am certainly glad to have Spc. Chavez on our team."
Christopher, who was recently recognized as the 1st Cavalry Division's hero of the week, experienced the usual stress and anxiety that goes along with having an expecting wife, not to mention being deployed more than 7,000 miles away.
"To be honest I feel the same as I did yesterday, but a weight has been lifted off my shoulders now that my baby is out and healthy and my wife is perfectly fine," he said.
Paige Chavez looks forward to her husband's redeployment later this year. She is finding out that the task of taking care of a newborn by herself can be quite an undertaking. Thankfully, both sets of little Alice's grandparents are there to help her mom out.
"I was happy that my husband could join me, even if it was on Skype," she said.
Although many of Christopher's family and friends are stateside, he appreciated the support from his fellow soldiers.
"The support from my co-workers was a real boost as well as the large amount of congratulations," he said.
Christopher looks forward to his future in the Army and adding to his family.
"I plan to remain in the Army until I can retire at 20 years," he said. "If not, I plan on going to college and getting a degree in psychology, sociology or zoology. As for my family plans, we want to have, at most, another two children, one boy and one girl. I hope for another two boys, but I won't stop until I get at least one."

Purpose of /run/lock/ (empty except for ./whoopsie/)
- by Aeyoun
My /run/lock/ directory is empty except for ./whoopsie/. I have understood /run/lock/ as a replacement for /var/lock/ but was surprised to find it entirely empty. Is whoopsie meant as a deterrent from using this directory? I did find other lock files under /run/, though. Most notably in /run/user/<me>/. I would have expect per-users lock files in /run/lock/user/ and not in a separate directory. Hoping for some clarification!

Adams said the County Commission are in contact with Keith Price on a regular basis. Price is the president of K2O Potash.
K2O has been doing due diligence work for years with the government agencies involved. A huge potash deposit was discovered years ago when extensive drilling for oil, gas and uranium was taking place in the Anticline Overlook area of Dry Valley.
K2O has drilled several deeper holes in the area to ascertain how extensive the deposit is. When asked how big the deposit is and what the life of the operation will be, Adams replied, "Forever."
Potash is used as a high-grade fertilizer. The San Juan deposit may be up to thousands of feet deep and could be mined by injecting hot water into bore holes under tremendous pressure.
The liquefied potash will be pumped to the surface and dried with natural gas dryers. When dry, it will be trucked to railheads in surrounding states. The United States currently imports 90 percent of its potash. Most of the local production will likely be sold in country rather than being exported.
The mining, drying and trucking operation as currently envisioned will require 250 full time employees. That workforce could expand if the initial operations are successful. Since the site is in San Juan County and housing costs here are less than in Moab, it is anticipated that most of the employees will live in the county.
Funding for the project comes from Australia. It is reported that $20 million is allocated for work at the site this year.
Adams said he is pleased with the possibilities represented by this project for two principle reasons:
First, the company has promised that all company offices and support operations will be located in Monticello, a huge stimulus to the local economy.
It is anticipated that the mine will pay up to $18,000,000 a year in taxes and royalties when fully operational (at current world potash prices). This year the entire County budget is $12,000,000.
Second, Adams says the president of the company (Keith Price) likes Monticello and is looking forward to living here. Last year he gave $10,000 to Monticello High School for band and weight room improvements. At the County Fair, he paid top dollar and contributed several thousand dollars to the 4-H livestock program which benefits county youngsters.

The explosion of corporate data systems and operational information has increased the demand for cost effective and efficient document workflow solutions. The acquisition, use and storage of shared enterprise resources can be overwhelming and complex, requiring expert knowledge to achieve a streamlined and efficient operation.
The ever changing face of information architecture means that workload automation, in a heterogeneous environment, is essential to the continued growth and success of many organisations. To this end, workflow automation helps to orchestrate a series of sensible and efficient mechanisms that help employees to access, utilise, share and store enterprise level information in an efficient and low risk environment.
Essentially, automated document workflow solutions reduces human intervention and errors, streamlines operational processes and increases output quality.
There are certain key operational areas that benefit from workflow automation.
Business Process Optimisation
The optimisation of business processes can be achieved via a number of avenues with document workflow solutions being a key factor. Streamlining the throughput of work within your organisation leads to increased efficiencies and reduced costs.
This efficiency can be best seen in the following areas:
· Accounts Payable: Automated e-invoices are received and processed faster with no manual work involved. Your e-invoice portal will accept invoices in any format, automatically convert them to your preferred format and archive the original invoices. Likewise, your invoices are automatically converted to the client's preferred format, validated and sent on to your clients.
· Contract Management: Workflow automation helps to streamline contract management and move contracts quickly from one step to the next. This means that bottlenecks are eliminated and approvals are streamlined and fast tracked. With up to date contract information, risks are minimised and deals and orders are completed efficiently.
· HR Automation: Repetitive, manual and user intensive tasks can be automated, essentially freeing your staff for more critical tasks that increase the strategic value of your HR department. Employee processes can be automatically initiated by HR staff, as necessary or at specified intervals and completed forms can be automatically submitted, validated and archived.
· Mail Room Automation: This allows you to automatically capture, digitalise, distribute, archive and process a wide range of incoming mail. Your inbound mail is streamlined, workflows and business processes are optimised and manual handling costs are minimised.
Workflow automation drives faster turnaround times, leading to enhanced customer service, and accelerated processing and response times.
RBC Business Solutions provides our clients with the hardware and the backup to fully automate workflow throughputs and the software that brings document workflow solutions to the fore front of your business. We also offer cloud, onsite or hybrid storage and server facilities, fully customised to your corporate needs.
With our proven project management skills and flexible service delivery processes, RBC Group help to maximise your ROI and increase employee efficiency, as well as enhance client satisfaction.
For more information on the benefits of workflow automation for your organisation, call us on 1300 857 164, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or complete our online enquiry form.

Just as he did last year on "Late Night," Bill Cosby took over when he paid Jimmy Fallon a visit on "The Tonight Show."
When Cosby walked out, he looked confused. He walked to The Roots and whispered, "I was called and they told me they wanted me to do the 'Tonight Show'."
"We are the 'Tonight Show'," Fallon said. "Oh, Bill I think I know what's happening. That's not Doc Severinsen. This is a different band."
U.S. & World
Doc Severinsen was the trumpeter for Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" until he retired.
The Roots joined in on the fun, intermittently playing the theme music from the science fiction series "The Twilight Zone."
Fallon asked Cosby to sit but the comedian kept standing and going on tangents, telling the audience a story about a music icon.
"Stevie Wonder is a prankster," Cosby said. The 76-year-old explained that the singer will have someone with sight along with him when people visit. The sighted person will tell Stevie what the person is wearing and Stevie will mention features of the person's outfit.
Cosby also told The Roots to play his intro music again, to which they obliged. Afterward, he told a member of the band that he sounded like a man he remembered who sang outside of Manhattan jazz bar "Blue Note" begging for change.
Finally, Fallon told Cosby that he would be the first "Tonight Show" guest to tightrope walk across tape on the floor with a pole.
While fussing, Cosby walked with the pole with Fallon on his back.
Watch the hilarious tightrope walk above.
