Evacuation center to open early Sunday in Truckee for potential flood victims
TRUCKEE, Calif. – The American Red Cross and local emergency agencies have set up an evacuation center in the town in preparation of the Truckee River flooding Sunday morning.
The center, located in the Administration Building of the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District at 11603 Donner Pass Road, will open at 6 a.m. Sunday and remain open as long as needed, according to a Saturday afternoon press release from the Nevada County Office of Emergency Services. The Red Cross will provide refreshments, and updated storm information will be available at the center.
To get updated recorded information on the center, residents can call 855-212-1866, a toll-free number set up by the Nevada County Office of Emergency Services.
The center will transition to an overnight shelter Sunday night if there is a need. The town of Truckee and the Placer County Office of Emergency Services also are assisting with the evacuation center.
According to the National Weather Service in Reno, the Truckee region will be under a flood warning from late Saturday through Monday morning as the next in a series of wet storms readies to hammer the region.
Rainfall amounts of 3 to 5 inches are possible from the Lake Tahoe Basin north to western Lassen County, with amounts up to 8 inches forecast along and west of Highway 89, according to NWS.
Across Western Nevada, rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are possible in the foothills west of Highway 395, with amounts of 1 to 2 inches forecast for valley floors in the Reno/Carson City/Minden areas.
Snow levels with this system will start near 8,000 feet and may rise as high as 10,000 feet early Sunday morning; snow levels will lower Sunday, but may not fall below 8,000 feet until late Sunday afternoon.
The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration predicts the Truckee River will reach near 8 feet between 3 a.m. and 3 p.m. Sunday – flood stage for this portion of the river is 4.5 feet, according to a statement from Placer County.
Truckee residents, particularly in the Foxmead Lane and Riverside Drive neighborhoods – which line the river in downtown Truckee – as well as various riverfront residents along Highway 89 are encouraged to take active precautions and monitor conditions closely, officials said.
According to the Truckee Police Department, self-serve sandbags are available at the Truckee Fire Protection District Station 92, at 11473 Donner Pass Road; and the Truckee Ranger Station Parking lot at 10811 Stockrest Spring.
On the North Shore, through Placer County, sandbags are available at the following locations: North Tahoe Fire Station 52, 288 North Shore Blvd., Kings Beach; Placer County Department of Public Works Corporation Yard, 2501 North Lake Blvd., Tahoe City; Old Squaw Valley Fire Station, 1810 Squaw Valley Road, Olympic Valley; Northstar Community Services District Corporation Yard, 50 Trimont Lane off Northstar Boulevard near Northstar California; and North Tahoe Fire Station 53, 5425 West Lake Blvd., Homewood.
Emergency officials are advising residents, visitors and all motorists to not drive into areas where water covers the roadway, and to pay special attention in areas beneath recent burn scars as they may be susceptible to debris flow.
If you are in an area that may be affected by rising water, Placer County encourages you to take the following steps:
• Make an evacuation plan – what to take, where to go, how to stay in touch.
• If you think you might need to evacuate – go. If you delay, you may be trapped.
• No matter what happens, stay out of the water. Debris in flood runoff and high flows makes it extremely dangerous to attempt to retrieve objects or rescue people.
• Stay calm, think clearly and be decisive. When in doubt, call 911 and ask for help.
Storm Information will be updated as information becomes available at the following websites:

Sweethearts flock to the Lincoln Park District
Album 1
on photos below to enlarge.]
[February 10, 2014]
Send a link to a friend
Sunday afternoon one guest at
the Lincoln Park District Sweetheart Dance commented that it was a
regular heat wave outside. Indeed the temperatures had
actually risen into the high teens, and compared with what we've
in Lincoln over the last few weeks, that was indeed warm.
Perhaps that and the cabin
fever that comes with heavy winter snows helped bring scores of
people out to the annual dance. As guests arrived, many of the
special couples were dads with daughters and mothers with sons. There were some who came as a complete family, and a couple of fellas came "stag,"
perhaps hoping to pick up a new girlfriend.

The Historic Churchyards Group was set up in 2002 to help make the churchyards of Cornwall's central mining villages more easily accessible for research and education.
Rural churchyards are like time capsules that preserve a record of those who have lived and died in the parish. They also provide a refuge untouched by the ravages of development and urban sprawl which is particularly valuable as a habitat for wildlife: from mice to lichens; newts to bluebells; song birds to butterflies.
The churchyards are managed to encourage and enhance this biodiversity whilst at the same time maintaining a respectful degree of formality and order.

The U.S. economy is expected to grow by 2.5% in 2013, improving to 3.5% growth in 2014, top Fed official Charles Evans said today (Jan. 14).
According to Reuters, Evans also forecast the U.S. unemployment rate would be 7.4% this year, easing to about 7% in 2014.
"One good indicator of labor market improvement would be if we saw payroll employment increase by 200,000 each month for a number of months. We've been averaging about 150,000, but it's been very uneven … we need a higher pace of employment growth and less volatility in that pace," Chicago Fed President Evans said.
The creation of 1 million jobs over six months would be a "substantive" improvement, but bringing unemployment down to the key level of 6.5% was likely to take much longer, probably until mid-2015, he said, speaking at the Asian Financial Forum in Hong Kong.
The U.S. Federal Reserve's decision last year to tie monetary policy to specific economic conditions should help boost the recovery without letting inflation take hold, said Evans, a chief architect of the policy.
It also provides additional accommodation by assuring markets that rates will remain low even after the economy perks up, he said.
"Given more explicit conditionality, markets can be more confident that we will provide the monetary accommodation necessary to close the large resource gaps that currently exist," he said. "Additionally, the public can be more certain that we will not wait too long to tighten if inflation were to become a substantial concern."
Last month, the Fed ramped up asset purchases aimed at spurring growth, and pledged to keep rates near zero until the unemployment rate drops to 6.5%, as long as inflation expectations do not climb above 2.5%.
Evans, who rotates into a voting spot on the Fed's policy-setting panel this year, had been pushing for exactly such a threshold-based policy for more than a year, saying the Fed needed to take a much more activist role in trying to meet its mandate to boost employment.

The Brooklyn Bridge connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn in New York City. It is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States. Construction started in January 1870 and completed in May of 1883.
It was the longest suspension bridge in the world from its opening until 1903, and the first steel-wire suspendion bridge.
Originally redferred to as the New York and Brooklyn Bridge, it was dubbed the Brooklyn Bridge in an 1867 letter to the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, and formally so named by the city government in 1915. Since its opening, it has become an iconic part of the New York skyline. It was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1964.

Government employees estimate they gain nine hours per week in productivity.
Editor's note: Brittany Ballenstedt will be on maternity leave until mid-February.
The majority of federal employees believe that mobile devices are making them more productive, so much so that many of them are using their own personal devices for work, even if their agencies lack of an official bring-your-own-device, or BYOD, policy, according to a new report.
Employees also are willing to work with agencies to make sure their devices are secure: 57 percent of those surveyed said they would consider paying their agency to have their personal device updated or certified as safe.
The 2013 Digital Dilemma Report, released Tuesday by Telework Exchange, found that 95 percent of the 300 federal employees surveyed believe their work has improved as a result of having access to mobile devices.
Feds cited increased productivity (76 percent), improved communication with colleagues (61 percent), better customer service (62 percent) and increased collaboration (47 percent), as the main reasons for the improvement in their work. And that improvement is having an impact for agencies, particularly in terms of cost savings, with feds saying they gain nine hours per week in estimated productivity, equating to $28 billion, the survey found.
The most popular mobile devices were laptops (93 percent), followed by smartphones (64 percent) and tablets (19 percent). And those devices are not necessarily issued by their agency: 55 percent of feds who use smartphones or tablets for work bring their own, the study found.
Despite more feds using their own devices for work purposes, most agencies still do not have an official BYOD policy in place. Sixty-one percent of feds surveyed said their agency does not have an official BYOD policy in place, while 11 percent said their agency does have such a policy and 28 percent were unsure. Security is a major concern, as one in three BYOD users do not have password protection on their smartphones, the study found.
"My government laptop is down so much that I often do government work on my personal laptop, which I'm sure doesn't meet security requirements," one survey respondent said.
The report recommended that agencies begin recognizing that employees are using personal devices for work and develop guidelines for employees to follow. Telework Exchange also recommended that agencies test a pilot BYOD program and enforce regulations to ensure data and network security. Agencies also may benefit from looking at the BYOD examples at other agencies, particularly at the Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Interior, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services and Defense departments.

Just so everyone knows, the first post of this topic was written by me several
years ago and it seems to have been edited by someone other then me
so here is my writeup on 2wd lifting facts
All information in this thread is for educational purposes only
Lifting the front
There are two ways you can lift the front of your 2wd S-10.
(1) Spindles come in 3" & 3.5" lifting variations and are available for S-10 pick-ups and pre-98 Blazers
Spindles only change the height of your truck and they do not change the way it rides since you still use your stock coil springs.
With lifting spindles you need to purchase extended brake lines so that you don't pull your brake lines apart leaving you with no brakes. These are usually metal, braided lines for extra durability and a nice look. You do not need longer shocks with spindles however high performance shocks are recommended.
*98 and newer Blazers use a different hub/brakes and lift spindles will not work
In order to use lift spindles on the newer Blazers and Jimmys (98-05) you will have replace these parts.
1. AIM or Fabtech lift spindles
2. 98-05 S10 2wd pickup brake rotors
3. 98-05 S10 2wd pickup calipers and brake pads
4. 98-05 S10 2wd pickup Inner / Outer front wheel bearings w/ inner seals & outer caps
5. 98-05 S10 2wd pickup spindle washers, nuts
6. 98-05 S10 2wd pickup dust shields W/ ABS sensor
7. extended steel braided brake lines
Before I go on I would like to spend a moment on coil spring spacers. Spacers are dangerous to use on an S-10 because the springs are not flat on the ends, but rather the coil wind just kind of stops and a coil spring is made to fit into the lower control arm and spacer on the other hand will not conform to the spring or the lower control arm pocket leaving a large amount of stress on the end of the spring and possibly causing the spring to deform and cause the coil spring to pop-out and if you try to use a spacer on the top of the coil spring there is nothing to hold it into place but the weight of the truck. There are people who claim they have used coil spring spacers with no problem and these people have been very fortunate to have not experienced damage to there S-10s
(2) Coil Springs are a good way to lift your 2WD S-10, expect a firm to very stiff ride after installing lifted coil springs.
Lifted coil springs come in lengths ranging from 2"-3.5" and get their lift from an increased spring rate (most lifted coil springs are only slightly taller then stock springs) I have found that after a lifted coil spring settles (500-1000 miles) you can expect to lose 1/2"-3/4" of lift.Example: a 2" lifted coil spring will only give you 1 1/2" of lift after the coil spring settles.
Over the years i have used Moog or TRW 5662 & 5664 coil springs to lift my S10's 1 1/4" - 1 1/2" instead of the so-called 2" lift springs because the ride is better and they cost half the price of 2" lift springs
When using 3"- 3 1/2" lifted coil springs you must use aftermarket upper control arms to accommodate the 3"- 3 1/2" coil springs.
this requires cutting the upper control arm mounts and welding upper control arm gussets in place to help with alignment ability and wear on suspension components. The problem with lifting with 3" -3 1/2" lifted coil springs is that it puts higher angle on your ball-joints which may cause premature ball-joint wear. There are different methods that can be used to help lessen or slow the wear on your ball-joints. One is to re-mount the ball-joint to the so that the top surface of the ball-joint bolts to the lower surface to the upper control arm (sometimes called flipping the ball-joint) another method is ball-joint spacers, ball-joint spacers should only be used in extreme cases to correct severe ball-joint angles.
3" - 3 1/2" lifted coil springs are often very stiff and I've even seen upper control arm mounts tear apart at the weld because the coil springs were so stiff (this happened to me and others)
I personally don't recommend using 3" -3 1/2" lifted coil springs and upper control arms (short arm kit) to lift a 2WD S-10 because I've never seen a case were there was not some kind of problem or another when using this method to lift an S-10.
Long Travel kits (upper and lower control arms)
on the other hand is something I highly recommend because you correct ball-joint angels and gain extra travel lost when using lifted coil springs. Long Travel kits are often very expensive and installation should be left to the professional.
In my opinion, the best method when using lifted coil springs to lift a 2WD S-10 is to use 2" - 2 1/2" lifted coil springs (this will give you 1 1/4" -2" of lift) and flipping the upper ball-joints. This will give a firm (not stiff) ride and you will not be replacing ball-joints every other month.
Lifted coil springs can be used with lifted spindles for even more lift, longer shocks will be needed.
Lifting the Rear
There are 4 ways that you can lift the rear of you S-10
(1) Add-A-Leaf. What these do is basically add another leaf for your leaf pack. They are arched more than you stock leafs so it pulls your leafs into more of an arch...causing the lift. You can achieve 1.5"-2" of lift with these.
The positive side to these is if you tow or haul a lot of stuff with your truck because they add to the amount of stuff you can carry in your truck. Downfalls are that they will stiffen the ride in your truck. There are two different of add-a-leaf you can use on your S10, one is the short add-a-leaf that fits above your helper spring and the second is the long add-a-leaf that fits between your first and second spring on your spring pack. (It is said that the long add-a-leaf gives a better ride) new shocks recommended, i recommend Bilstein B46-1413 heavy duty shocks.
(2) Shackles. These are what connect the rear of your leafs to the frame. To achieve a desired lift you lengthen these twice the amount of lift you want since your lift is found in the center of your leafs but shackles are on the end. Most lift shackles will give you between 1.5"-2" of lift.
new shocks recommended, I recommend Bilstein B46-1413 heavy duty shocks.
(3) Leaf Spring Hangers. These connect to the front of the leaf spring and replace the stock leaf spring hangers and will give your S-10 2 1/2" of lift.
Leaf Spring hanger work best with lifted shackles and some people say it will mess with your driveline angles but it all depends on several factors that vary from truck to truck, i use this set-up on my S10 with stock shackles and i re-shimed the rear axel to correct the drivelive angle.
*note: longer shocks are nessesary, rear shocks from a ZR2 are perfect substitute and i recomend using Bilstein B46-1819 heavy duity shocks.
(4) Axel Flip-Kit. Because S-10 axles are positioned above our leaf springs you can "flip" the axle over to the underside providing 4.5-5" of lift.
Once again some people say it will mess with your driveline angles but it all depends on several factors that vary from truck to truck.
New shocks recommended, i recommend Bilstein B46-1413 heavy duty shocks.
Body Lifts
Lift the cab & body of your S-10 2"-3"
Body Lifts are the cheapest way to lift your S-10; by lifting the cab & body of your S-10 you gain extra room for bigger tires. Pros of body lifts include stock ride characteristics and a taller stance. Some people don't like body lifts because the frame is exposed, this can be corrected by installing Nurf Bars and Gap Guards. 2" body lifts are available for 84-04 S-10's and 3" body lifts are available 84-94 S10's and one company makes 3" body lifts for S-10's up to 97 and this kit can be modified to work on late model S-10's as well.
The most lift 2wd trucks can get is around 9.5" (spindles, coil springs, control arms and a body lift) which will give you enough room for 33" tires unless you go with a SAS or Hybrid then you can go even bigger

With Google's Instant Preview here to stay, leading search marketing specialist and technology firm Greenlight, has 2011 pegged as "web design year". Greenlight predicts Google and Bing will offer app search before the year is out, competition between the two to heats up and duplication filters to get even tougher as the search engines take more drastic measures to limit the amount of resource they spend on less valuable content.
For paid search, Greenlight predicts 2011 will be the year display marketing starts to mirror much of what is search in practice. It expects there to be huge growth in the contextual based pay-per-click (PPC) model - pulling away from the search engine domain to advertisers such as such as eBay or Amazon and the Yahoo! "Rich ads in Search" proposition to take off, prompting Google to counter with a more appealing model.
These are just a few of Greenlight's top 10 predictions in its annual 'Year in Review Briefing', charting what's in store for natural and paid search marketing in 2011. It also looks back at what unfolded in 2010, surprises included, and how its predictions panned out. Among others they included Google factoring in the content of videos into page relevancy scores and the search giant finding more ways to monetise the excess inventory in AdWords, to internet use on mobile phones accelerating and mobile search taking off.
Greenlight's top 10 predictions for paid and natural search in 2011 include:
1. Google and Bing will offer app search before the year is out
Smartphone users likely already feel the pull of their respective app store/marketplace as much as if not more than a traditional search engine like Google, if/when they have a particular need. That, according to Adam Bunn, director of search at Greenlight, is a new frontier for search: the idea that instead of finding a website that will be able to answer your question right now, you'll go and find an app and install that app because it will answer the question, and questions like it, again and again, in a more usable way (in the long term).
To maintain any kind of grasp on the mobile user, search engines will need to be able to point out apps that might be relevant to the searcher's search – and even give them a one-click install option for when the search is being carried out from a mobile with the right operating system. This will manifest as another type of vertical search on Google and Bing, as well as being pulled into the normal results as a universal search element.
2. Display marketing will mirror much of what is search in practice
Google's acquisition of Double Click, Yahoo! Right Media Exchange, and Direct Response crossing over; and MSN bringing its exchange to the forefront, as well as offering similar display programmes and formats to search advertisers – is turning what we all once knew as 'traditional display marketing' to a very search-like feel to display.
The Ad Exchanges specifically have been pivotal to this evolution, providing real-time bidding and optimisation. It is making advertisers and brands rethink their display strategy and investment – and ask the question, does display have a new lease of life? Hannah Kimuyu, Director of paid search at Greenlight says
The best example of this was Google's acquisition of Double Click ... It transformed its Content Network into a fully fledged display network (also rebranded Display Network) proving that in fact traditional display (blanket run of network etc) is a thing of the past, and marketers can expect more sophistication, control and results from a new era of display. Imagine having search-like control with display - moving into 2011 we expect to see more from this new form of display marketing.
3. Google versus Bing – competition will heat up
Among other things Greenlight expects:
- Bing to imitate Google Instant Preview and introduce image previews of sites, with some additional functionality over the Google implementation such as the ability to zoom or "grab and scroll" the preview with the mouse to take a closer look before selecting which site is of interest;
- Google to introduce a feature similar to Bing's "Recent Searches" only called "Recent Pages". It will list the viewers five most recently clicked on search results for easier recollection later on. Data pertaining to how often a site is revisited when in the respective user's recent pages list will be fed into the algorithm.
"Expect this amidst a continued advertising push by Bing throughout the year," adds Bunn.
4. Yahoo! "Rich ads in Search" proposition will take off, prompting Google to consider offering display style ads within the search engine results page (SERPs)
A little similar to Google's recent introduction of Video extensions via its AdWords programme. Yahoo! has launched its 'Rich Ads in Search' (RAIS) proposition. In summary, RAIS are designed to deeply engage the target audience through images, videos and multiple direct links to the respective site. Unlike Google, Yahoo! is offering permanent real-estate. You buy full inventory over a fixed period of time and are charged on a CPM (cost per thousand impressions).
RAIS is focused on branded search. It aims to highlight a respective brand even further, incorporate its video assets and extends its search functionality including site links and a search function in the ad as well.
The proposition is expected to increase click through rates (CTRs) significantly for brand owners. It aims to take back some of the control/brand visibility lost from affiliates and competitors.
According to Kimuyu, RAIS has to be one of the most exciting things to come from Yahoo in a while.
In my opinion it is a great example of the search networks finally taking responsibility over their advertisers' brands. Although Google's version is yet to make its mark, we do expect Google to up its game, especially now Yahoo! has shown its hand.

Akin: I'm running, but not to Tampa
A defiant Todd Akin, the embattled Republican Senate candidate from Missouri, vowed on Wednesday to stay in the race, but he also said he will respect wishes from party leaders who want him to skip the Republican National Convention in Tampa.
"The people of Missouri chose me to be their candidate. I don't think it's right for party bosses to override [them]," Akin said on ABC's "Good Morning America."
Host George Stephanopoulos asked whether Akin would comply with Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus's request that he not attend the convention, which starts Monday.
( Also on POLITICO: Deadline for Akin to exit race passes)
"Are you going?" he asked.
"No, I honor their particular wishes," Akin responded.
Akin, who is running against Democratic incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill, took intense heat from top GOP brass after he said that in instances of "legitimate rape," pregnancy often does not occur, a statement for which he has since apologized. Akin, a Missouri congressman and member of the House Science Committee, acknowledged that he was "medically wrong" and again distanced himself from his earlier comments on "Good Morning America."
"I understand that rape is a terrible and a tragic and a violent crime and that's why I have apologized for using that word 'legitimate,' because it doesn't belong here," Akin said, adding that he wasn't apologizing for being pro life.
Akin won a bloody primary battle earlier this summer, and he said those votes should be respected.
"I know that the voters took a look at our hearts, understood who we were, had a chance to meet us in many, many different ways and made a decision," he said. "And it makes me uncomfortable to think that the party bosses are going to dictate who runs as opposed to the election process. I believe in that principle."
Akin initially didn't give a direct answer when asked whether he might eventually drop out of the race.
"I'm never going to say everything that could possibly happen," he said, but when pressed later, he said he had decided to stay in and that he could win.
He also went on offense against McCaskill.
"I've made the decision to stay in because I believe that we can win this race: There's such a strong contrast between me and my opponent, we're about opposite on all things," Akin said, citing their positions on abortion and President Barack Obama's health care plan. "I think that contrast gives us a basis to win this. And I'm planning to win it."
Meanwhile, Akin revealed in a separate interview on Wednesday that Paul Ryan called and advised him to step down for the good of the Republican Party.
"Paul Ryan did give me a call," said Akin on NBC's "Today Show." "He advised me that it would be good for me to step down."
"I told him that I would be looking at it very seriously … it's not about me, it's about standing on principle," Akin explained.
Akin, however, let the Tuesday withdrawal deadline pass without dropping out, defying Ryan, Mitt Romney and a host of other top Republicans.
The Missouri Republican also continued to backtrack from his controversial statements about "legitimate rape."
"'Legitimate' should not be in the context of rape at all … there is no rape that is legitimate. It's a heinous crime," Akin said Wednesday. "While I apologize for the use of the word, I don't apologize for the fact that I'm strong in my pro-life beliefs." Akin also further walked back his suggestion that female body has a mechanism to prevent rape from leading to conception. "I was misinformed, and I recognize that."
Asked by NBC host Matt Lauer whether he thought many women lied about rape in order to get an abortion, Akin said he did not believe so.

Apple policy has mobile advertisers scrambling
Mobile advertisers are working around a new Apple policy that makes it harder to track user activity on iPhones and iPads, in what some see as clear consumer privacy violations.
Last summer, Apple began phasing out developer access to unique device identifiers (UDID), numbers on devices that many companies had used like tracking cookies in Internet browsers, enabling them to monitor activity from app to app and target ads accordingly.
The Cupertino tech giant hasn't addressed its reason for the change and didn't respond to an inquiry from The Chronicle. Some have wondered whether Apple was trying to create an uneven playing field by exclusively using these identifiers for its own ad network, iAd.
But most industry observers believe the company took this step in response to growing concerns over privacy. The change followed reports in the Wall Street Journal and elsewhere highlighting how much information companies had access to via Apple devices, including consumers' location history, personal details and use of other apps.
In one hint that Apple's change was driven by privacy concerns, its guidelines now state that developers should create a unique ID specific to their own app, eliminating access to information beyond the boundaries of the company's product. Recent Apple app rejections have also cited privacy violations.
But many companies aren't content with the limited data left available under a strict reading of the policy. In response, they've devised a handful of new ways to monitor activity outside of their own app, sidestepping the obstacle Apple erected.
Stanford privacy researcher Jonathan Mayer says the tactics echo those employed by Google and several other companies to circumvent the privacy defaults in Apple's Safari browser, a controversial practice he first highlighted in February.
A Google-like practice
Google stopped using this technique after the Journal began reporting on it. The company is reportedly in talks with the Federal Trade Commission over a potentially multimillio-dollar fine for doing it in the first place.
"The similarities are striking," Mayer said. "Apple put in place a privacy protection, and some advertising companies have worked around it."
There are two main approaches so far. The first takes advantage of "pasteboards" in Apple's mobile operating system. These were designed to allow users to copy and paste data from one application to another, but developers discovered they can also employ them to store a unique ID that persists even if an app is closed or the system reboots.
One version of this approach is known as OpenUDID, developed in part by Yann Lechelle, the co-founder of Paris ad network Appsfire.
In an interview, he argued that it can't be assumed Apple made the change for privacy reasons and therefore it's not clear they're violating the spirit of the policy.
He said advertisers must be able to peer outside an app to measure the effectiveness of ads - for instance, whether an ad drove a user to download an app, something known as a "conversion." Without such metrics, the mobile ad economy begins to break down, he said.
"We don't care that the device ID actually was tracked; what we care about is that 20 percent of the clicks became downloads," he said.
Given these concerns, advertisers will push back hard if Apple adopts a strict stance against alternative UDIDs, said Ashkan Soltani, an independent privacy and security researcher. But he believes there's a more appropriate middle ground than the alternatives now being implemented.
"The challenge here is to provide a solution that allows some of the accounting necessary for an ad economy to work while providing the necessary transparency and control to consumers who are concerned about their privacy," Soltani said in an e-mail. "I've been on multiple roundtable debates for how to do this and ultimately it may come down to certain parties (i.e. ad and analytic companies) curbing their appetite for information."
Consumers unaware
The core problem is that consumers are unaware of these tracking mechanisms and don't have control over them, he said.
"Most users would probably be surprised to find that a handful of companies can track their usage across multiple apps, knowing when you run a fitness app, a calorie counter (and) then run a dating app," he said.
The OpenUDID website lists 17 companies supporting or using the standard so far, including Tapjoy, Adfonic, MoPub and Greystripe.
The second main alternative UDID relies on the unique Mac number on the device's Wi-Fi chip, which developers can obtain by digging into the underlying software on which Apple's mobile operating system is based. The ad network Jumptap has publicly embraced this approach, though it said in a blog post it's exploring other options.
Christina Feeney, a Jumptap spokeswoman, didn't address a question about whether this amounts to circumventing an Apple privacy feature, but stressed that the company supports other industry efforts to allow consumers to opt out of targeted ads.
"We're big proponents of giving consumers notice and choice," she said in an e-mail.
For both of these broad alternative approaches, several industry bodies have formed to back competing methods of achieving the desired result. Ad networks are hotly debating not whether they should do this - but which technical approach is superior.
Lechelle argues that developers shouldn't get access to the Mac number because it presents security concerns. Meanwhile, proponents of a competing "pasteboard" approach known as SecureUDID argue that OpenUDID is "fundamentally flawed," because it assigns a single number to the device that all companies can use, rather than different numbers for each.
Lechelle and Soltani agreed that the company best situated to address the concerns on both sides of the debate is Apple itself.
"They are the only one who can implement a proper, global mechanism," Lechelle said. "Until they do, everything else is ad hoc."
Soltani said it's likely Apple will try to craft a solution that balances privacy concerns against the needs of advertisers in the next upgrade of its mobile operating system.
"Under the current regulatory regime, it's clear that the use of persistent tracking with no controls is considered problematic," he said. "I suspect Apple will provide a solution, force everyone to use it and call it a day."

Sermon delivered September 30, 2007.
One of my favorite bible passages is "This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24). I try to say it each day in the morning to remember that, no matter what happens, I should be joyful. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I fail but the ideal of rejoicing, being joyful and having joy in our hearts is one of the most consistent themes in the Scriptures. It's one of the central themes in today's Epistle reading, the 20th Sunday, from 2 Corinthians 9:6-11.
Before examining the reading, let us look at the context of the passage. St. Paul, starting in Chapter 8 informs the Corinthians that the Apostle Titus and others are coming to receive, and then bring, their material offering of assistance to the Christians in Macedonia. Some 2,000 years later, the situation amongst Christians has changed little. Our stewardship offering not only supports our ministries to our members, but to non-members who come into contact with our community and to other parishes and people throughout our Metropolis of Chicago, the Archdiocese of America and throughout the world. In today's reading, St. Paul articulates four principles of Christian giving.
The first principle of Christian giving is to "make up your mind" (v.7). In other words, Christian giving, which is generous and sacrificial, requires forethought and planning. We must begin now for the next year to anticipate our income, consider the ideal of tithing, decide how much we will give, and then order our other expenses and obligations around our stewardship commitment. The Israelites were commanded by God to give their first-born to Him along with the first-fruits of their harvest. This helped reinforce the first of the Ten Commandments, "I am the Lord your God, you shall have no other gods before Me" (Ex.20:1-3) If we wait until the end of the year to see what is left-over, then we are not giving our first fruits and most certainly we have not sacrificed anything in our giving. We must make up our minds and plan ahead.
The second principle is "God loves a cheerful giver" (v.7). In other words we should feel joy in our heart when we give. As St. Paul says, we should not give grudgingly, nor out of obligation. Perhaps you have heard it said, "Give until it hurts." However, in giving to God and His Church, we say "Give until it feels good." So, if we cannot seem to feel good about our giving, it's probably because we are not giving generously and sacrificially. Our pain or discomfort may be due to the fact that we separate ourselves from God's love when we give grudgingly or out of obligation. God loves a cheerful giver.
The third principle is "Sowing bountifully leads to reaping bountifully" (v.6,11). In other words, the more you give, the more you get. As Orthodox we do not teach what some call the "Prosperity Gospel" that says if we follow God that He will make us materially rich. Rather, our obedience to God's commandments, including the commandment to give materially to Him and to others, will enrich us with spiritual gifts like wisdom, knowledge, and faith (1Cor.12:8-11). In our generous and sacrificial giving, God will helps us learn how to live with less thereby cutting-off the passion of greed.
The fourth and final principle from today's reading is "generosity produces thanksgiving to God" (v.11). When people receive a gift, their immediate response is thanksgiving. When Christians receive help from other Christians, they not only thank the giver but they thank God for inspiring the gift. So our gift to those in need and the Church help build-up the faith of others in Christ our Lord. In addition, our giving mystically produces thanksgiving within our own heart. Through generous and sacrificial giving, greed is crucified, and we are better able to be thankful for what we have and thankful for the opportunity to give.

Citizen With Concealed Carry Permit May Have Saved Lives During Oregon Mall Shooting
The shooting last week at the mall in Clackamas, Oregon has been overshadowed by the tragedy that unfolded Friday morning at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut. In Oregon two innocent human beings lost their lives, but perhaps the carnage would have been worse if not for Nick Meli, who has a concealed carry permit and was in the mall when the gunman opened fire. Meli pulled his weapon, but did not shoot the gunman because there were bystanders who could have been injured. The gunman saw Meli, an armed citizen, and rather than shoot more innocents he pointed his weapon at himself.
"He was working on his rifle," said Meli. "He kept pulling the charging handle and hitting the side."
The break in gunfire allowed Meli to pull out his own gun, but he never took his eyes off the shooter.
"As I was going down to pull, I saw someone in the back of the Charlotte move, and I knew if I fired and missed, I could hit them," he said.
Meli took cover inside a nearby store. He never pulled the trigger. He stands by that decision.
"I'm not beating myself up cause I didn't shoot him," said Meli. "I know after he saw me, I think the last shot he fired was the one he used on himself."
We don't know how many lives Meli may have saved by pulling his weapon and making the shooter aware that he wasn't the only person in the mall with a gun. But something tells me the left won't be giving Meli any medals. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised to see them demand he be prosecuted. But it's quite possible (probable) that Meli saved lives that day.
We need more law abiding, level headed citizens like Meli walking among us, not fewer of them.

|Nancy O'Donoghue nee Brown (middle)
One of the gravestones I very much wanted to visit was for my cousin, Nancy O'Donoghue nee Brown. She was killed last October. I never met the rest of the family. Nancy and I corresponded because we were both researching our Brown line and realized that it was the same line. We met once and exchanged information. We corresponded occasionally on Facebook and would email each other from time to time with life events or if either of us discovered something new in our research. She was an incredibly warm, sweet lady. I wanted to visit her grave and get a picture of the tombstone.
There was no tombstone. There was only the metal marker that the funeral home puts out after burial. The temporary marker. I spoke with the caretaker and the rectory and was told that many friends had stopped by looking for Nancy's grave to pay their respects, but that the temporary metal marker wasn't even placed by the funeral home until recently. She was buried in October and nothing had marked her grave until very recently. Unacceptable.
A bit harsh perhaps. I never met her immediate family as I mentioned, but I don't understand the hold up. I know that the family no longer lives in Hazleton, PA where Nancy was laid to rest in our old parish cemetery, but wouldn't someone have checked to see if the marker had been placed? Wouldn't someone at least have insisted on the temporary marker after the funeral?
I know they are going through hard times right now. Money may be tight. I won't go into the circumstances surrounding Nancy's death in this post. It is truly horrific and is undoubtedly tearing the family apart, but with so many people wanting to visit Nancy's gravesite could a memorial fund not have been created? I would have given money for a marker.
I'm going to have to bite the bullet though. I've got the funeral home's telephone number and I intend on calling and asking if the stone was purchased through them or if other arrangements have been made. If I have to I will raise money for a marker for my cousin. I will not let this sweet lady's memory fade away.

Designersblock has a proven track record when it comes to scouting and showcasing some of the freshest young talents in the design industry. Again, they did not disappoint at this year's Milan Furniture Fair, featuring some fine examples of furniture, lighting and products that employ innovative materials and upcycling. See some of our favorite designs from the show which really played up material use in interesting and eye-catching new ways.
Students from The Cass London brought some refreshing products this year. Meital Tzabari from Israel has developed an interesting new material using fallen leaves. Re:Connect is a natural leaf composite that uses 36 layers of leaves adhered with a non-toxic water soluble glue. This table lamp is made with a lacewood base and a leaf composite shade.
The Reconnect Suspension Lamp by Meital Tzabari gives off a warm glow.
Also from The Cass London, Michael Randall impressed with this Coppice Stool. Made from untreated wood and discarded offcuts, it's fastened without typical adhesives, using 100% cotton stretchers instead.
Jorunn Hostoft of Nnuroj hand-knits these happy pieces to give warmth and emotional well-being to the home. Blankets, bean bags and cushions are available in a 100% wool/merino blend made using a hand-powered knitting machine.
Helga Matos showed a collection wall textiles that experiment with materials like broken sewing needles, floppy disks and cassette tapes (pictured). The Audio Cassette textile has an intriguing texture that glimmers in the light.
Coralie Bonnet is a veteran of the fashion industry, but is trying her hand at something new. Now an "Experimental Textile Designer", she aims to revive traditional embroidery techniques from England and France. She works at a variety of scales, from urban interventions—dubbed Graffiti Embroidery—to smaller interventions in furniture.
Design Stories teamed up with local producers and artisans in Gothenburg City, Sweden, on a project called Merry-Go-Round. Merry-Go-Round makes use of industrial waste and reclaimed materials, often working with unemployed people to offer them new skills. The Drawstring Lamp was created by hand, using salvaged textile offcuts and an LED lamp.
WalterWorks demonstrates the possibilities of adaptive reuse with the Plastic Starburst Lamp. Walter Raes collected empty bottles from a local school and assembled them into this lamp. The work demonstrates the beauty of light deflection.
Natalie Sampson offers us the Whisk Lamp as a social commentary on waste and reuse. Here, she demonstrates how common household items can be given a new lease on life with minimal intervention.

Subject: Unhealthy 703?
Hello list,
I bought some slabs of semi-rigid fiber glass, the equivalent of 703,
(which isn't available in the UK). I am a little concerned about this
stuff being a possible health risk. The manufacturer recommends using a
face mask and gloves when handling it. OK, not a problem, but what about
after the slabs are in place?
I don't want to sit in my studio and inhale a lot of microscopic glass
fibres (the 20 or so Marlboros are bad enough...). Mr. "Acoustics"
Everest just states that 703 is usually covered with fabric for cosmetic
reasons, but does not elaborate on the kind of fabric. What kind would
you recommend to a) avoid any unwanted effect on sound absorption and b)
prevent any of the glass fibres from "escaping"?
I hope I am just over cautious, but since I don't really know a lot about
this stuff, I thought I better check with the experts. Many thanks in
Best regards
Catacol Records

Autism: The Musical
What happens when a group of young people with autism set out to do the impossible; that is, to stage and star in a full-length musical? "Autism: The Musical" is director Tricia Regan's answer to that question. Released in 2007, the documentary film follows individuals with autism who star in the show. The film also shares the stories of their parents, as they support their children in this challenging endeavor.
"Autism: The Musical" centers around the Los Angeles-based The Miracle Project, founded by Elaine Hall, an educator, writer, and coach. The Miracle Project seeks to empower individuals with autism to express themselves through the performing arts, and "Autism: The Musical" is an inside look into The Miracle Project's first production.
"Autism: The Musical" has received two Primetime Emmys (for Outstanding Nonfiction Special and Outstanding Picture Editing for Nonfiction Programming) and numerous other accolades as well. It is now available for purchase and rental on DVD. Recently, Autism After 16 spoke with the film's director, Tricia Regan.
AA16: What prompted you to make "Autism: The Musical"?
TR: Actually, I was asked to make the film; I was approached by a group of people who wanted to make a documentary about autism. I was basically giving them free advice for about a year, thinking they might not actually make the film, or raise enough money. My advice was not to make a film about autism, but to make a film about a group of kids who trying to achieve something, a group of kids whose autism happens to be the obstacle standing in their way. People who are struggling against all odds, to achieve something they shouldn't be able to achieve … it's your basic structure for a three-act play or movie.
One of the executive producers knew Elaine [Hall], who had just started working with kids with autism [at The Miracle Project] … so I said, shoot some stuff, put together a trailer, raise some money, and we'll go from there. And they were able to find a funder, and fly me to L.A. to direct.
The process itself was "against all odds." After three months the funder didn't come through with the money we expected him to … we had a month worth of footage shot by then, and no money. It was hand-to-mouth for every week of production after that. After finishing up the film, we found a company that funded the post-production; they own the film now. It took a lot of faith, a lot of praying to make it happen.
AA16: What was your first impression of Elaine and The Miracle Project?
TR: The first that I saw her was in the trailer that [they] shot, so that half-prepared me for meeting her. I've never seen anybody more patient with kids in my life. Her patience with kids with special needs is super-human. She jokes how she has way less patience for kids who are typically developing!
It's kind of amazing to behold the patience that she has … and she's very tiny, yet she has a big presence. That made filming easier. It's easier for me to hold the camera at waist level, and because she's closer in size to the kids, it's also easier to frame the shots—it made the shooting way more intimate.
AA16: Was there a particular scene or storyline that surprised or touched you during the filming process? (For example, I was deeply moved seeing the footage of Elaine and Neal at the orphanage.)
TR: There were two scenes that really kicked me in the stomach. The first one was early on, though it happens later on in the film, partly because it's so intense. It's when Hillary, Lexi's mother, is talking with a group of mothers. She says something like, "Who says, I hope my child dies before I do?" It kicked me in the stomach because I got it—here's this woman who loves her child so much, and she's so distraught that her child is living in a world that doesn't accept her, and there's nothing she can do about it.
The next moment was when Neal was at the speech therapist, when he started speaking through the typing machine. I'd known him for a year at the time, and he was very attached to me. When he started speaking, I thought, "Wow, that's what your voice sounds like." Elaine was crying, I was crying, because Neal was finally able to speak! He's this smart kid, saying these really intelligent things—but he hadn't been able to have a voice until that moment. It broke my heart and elated me at the same time. And I love the smile that he has at the end of that scene, because to me, it's the same smile that he has when he's rolling around with Elaine on the rug in the orphanage, as a baby.
It was very important that every main character have a journey, and for every main character, there's a turning of the screw, a significant change—and that's Neal's moment.
AA16: What do you think is the greatest challenge that parents face as their children with autism become adults?
TR: The first really big challenge is having to let go of the dream of who this child would be, and accept that this child is on a very different path than you had hoped. And I think for most parents, it's their worst nightmare. And once parents move through that, then they can start to see the kid for who they are, and begin to enjoy them for who they are.
That journey is portrayed by Hillary in the movie, starting from a place of non-acceptance, and moving toward acceptance, as played out in the film. On some level, there's always a sense of mourning for who this child could have been, but I think any parent of a child with autism will say that there are special gifts that this child brings them that they never could have dreamt of.
The other big challenge for parents is simply moving through the world with their children with special needs. I think it's gotten better—and the film has helped to make it better. It's not the only reason; there's a lot more awareness of autism. However, the people I know who have seen the film have been much more understanding of adults with autism. Every parent's story starts out "normal" and then they get the diagnosis. People who watch the film can feel themselves in the stories of each of these people. It humanizes autism.
AA16: Do you think the experience of having their children featured in the film was difficult for their parents? In what way?
TR: It was hard for Elaine to have the scene where her son acts out and hits another kid in the movie. She was so fearful that it would stigmatize [Neal] further. It took a lot of convincing her to allow that scene in the film. But I said to her, "Why don't you ask Neal?"
As I was shooting that scene, Neal looked to make sure his stepfather was watching, and that the camera was filming. And so I said to Elaine, "I think maybe Neal wanted this to be filmed." She privately asked [Neal], and he said it was OK, and that's why she allowed it to be in the film. I think people understood he was stressed at the party.
Also, I think that if we'd made the film without that scene, it might have been brushed off as a "nice, nice film." We needed to show the darkness [of life as a parent of an individual with autism] for people to take it seriously.
For each parent, watching the film is like looking into a mirror—it's difficult. And it's the scariest moment for me, showing the people who are in my film, my film. They usually react badly, and they have to sit with it and see it again.
I don't think anyone [who participated] regrets it now; it's only brought good things to the kids involved, and to the [autism] community as well.
AA16: "Autism: The Musical" has received numerous accolades and positive reviews, particularly one in The New York Times. What's been your experience of the success of the film? Has it changed your life in a significant way?
TR: I knew I had something really special [with this film], especially as we were coming close to finishing it up. So it didn't surprise me how well it did; what surprised me was how little effect it had on my career! [Laughs] Documentary is really tough; I won an Emmy right before the market crashed, and I did get a lot of [directing] offers that following year, but a lot of those offers fell through. However, I'm producing an MTV series right now, and also working with A&E and ABC.
I would love to do another film in the future, but I don't know that I have it in me to go broke for the year, so itt would have to be a film that was funded from the start. ["Autism: The Musical"] was a rare documentary film in that it actually made money in the end. It took a lot out of me, though, on so many levels. I was shooting every week for six months—until you start editing, you don't know you have a film! I felt a lot of pressure that whole time.
AA16: How would you describe a healthy relationship between a parent and a child who is coming into adulthood on the spectrum? In your experience, what qualities are vital for parents to cultivate in themselves in such times of transition?
TR: I'm certainly no expert; I'm not even a parent of a child with autism. What I do have, however, is experience in seeing how half a dozen families were with their young adults. I think the biggest thing is just love. It's so simple. If you love that kid, and they're in the center of your heart, you will figure it out.
Every kid on the spectrum is going to have different needs as they transition into adulthood, and it's a much bigger question mark for adults with autism in their differing abilities and challenges. For example, even figuring out if they're having sexual feelings, that's a challenge. And it's crazy because, since the film was made, these young adults have grown up! Lexi is 19 now!
And, you know, you can ask for advice and talk to a lot of people, but I found that the expert on each one of these kids was their mother! And [the parents] may have made mistakes, but they were 150% behind their kid, every time.
AA16: What do you think is the film's core message?
TR: The goal of the original producers was to make a movie that could show the world how great individuals with autism are. That was the goal that I took on in making this movie, but I think the core message is just love. Love can move mountains. It can. It has. It does every day.
Love opens up the world for [individuals with autism], and allows them to blossom, to the full extent that they are able to. And that is a message for every one of us, everywhere—and that's why the film is successful.
And that's why it was so important that [we have] the Stevie Wonder song end the movie: "Whatever life has in store/Through all eternity you will have my love for always."

Hubby liked it okay. I guess I don't like orange flavor with my chicken. He'd give it 3 stars, I'd give it 1 so I settled for 2. =)
May 25, 2011
I read all of the reviews before making this and made 2 adjustments that resulted in the five-star rating. First, I doubled the sauce as others suggested. Yum! Doubling the sauce resulted in the perfect amount. Second, I added the zest of an orange to add some more orange flavor. That made a big difference, I think. With these two adjustments, this recipe is a keeper!
Nov 17, 2009
This was pretty good but I was expecting more intense orange flavor. The only change I made was to add two garlic cloves. It was such a pretty colorful dish to look it and does have potential - I suggest doubling the sauce so there's a little extra for the rice and adding a can of mandarin oranges and maybe a little more sugar to add more of an orange flavor. . .
Jul 11, 2009
This was very good-I added a little hoisin sauce to give it a little more flavor. Really easy to make. Thanks
May 28, 2009
That was one of the worst recipes I've tried from simple and delicious. My daughter actually spit it out of her mouth :(
Mar 21, 2009
I really enjoyed this recipe. I added granulated garlic and ground ginger to the recipe which enhanced the flavor nicely. I had all the ingredients on hand to make it and I will definitely make this one again.

Possibly the most well-known example of these rescue operations involved individual British families agreeing to "host" children from Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic through a program known as Kindertransport. Through this program, organized by Sir Nicholas Winton, an estimated 10,000 refugee children, most of them Jewish, were housed in the United Kingdom during the war. These children were able to avoid ghettoization and camp experiences; in many cases, they were the only members of their families to survive the Holocaust.

PORTLAND, Ore. — The Portland-based nonprofit Ecotrust has received a two-year USDA grant for $99,507 to develop an online tracking system for Oregon's farm to school program.
The grant will be used to establish baseline data for school across the state and provide a starting point for measuring progress and establishing goals.
"This is a significant grant and a very competitive process," Stacey Sobell, Ecotrust's farm to school manager, said. "We were pleased and surprised to receive it."
The USDA awarded $5 million in farm to school grants.
The baseline data project will be an online system that tracks a variety of indicators and will be available for public use.
A coalition of organizations, school food service directors, state agencies, farmers, teachers, school garden coordinators and others created the Oregon Farm to School and School Garden Statewide Network in 2007. The 200-member group convened a meeting of its steering committee last summer to assess Oregon's needs.
"It was clear we needed to develop a tracking system and use that to set goals and measure our impact," Sobell said. "Ecotrust proposed to establish that baseline and act as the common place for data collection while developing an online, dynamic system that is sustainable and easily accessible to everyone.
"This grant is a great fit for Ecotrust with our organization skills, economic analysts and team of developers who have all had experience assessing the impact of Farm to School efforts in previous studies on Oregon's economy," she said.
Ecotrust staff worked with the coalition steering committee in applying for the grant.
The project will develop baseline indicators for several categories, including local food procurement, education, school gardens, policy and health outcomes.
One goal might be to increase the percentage of school districts that purchase Oregon-grown or -processed products at least once a school year. This indicator has been tracked in the past, but only for fruits and vegetables.
Once the baseline is established, it could be used to set goals and policy, she said. School districts could use it, for example, to see how well school garden produce is incorporated into cafeteria meals. Schools within a district could also track their progress.
Since no other state has developed a comprehensive statewide system farm to school tracking, the goal is to make this system one that can be replicated across the country.

Dissected By Righteousness
Devoured by self-righteousness,
We look to the sky for salvation,
Yet you find no answers.
Begging our false prophet for guidance,
We gain no further wisdom of our surroundings or existence.
The greatest form of mind control.
Religion is the highest form of intolerance.
Some might say ignorance is bliss,
However one must be their own savior.
One must become the master of their own universe.
Mortified of the afterlife,
We live in morbid fear,
Fear of a divine power's judgments.
We are on a relentless pursuit of internal happiness.
When we are truly internally suffering,
For there is no salvation.

Bishop Atanasije serves in Umcari and blesses bells in Drazanj
On Sunday, October 7, 2012 in the village of Drazanj near Umcari a rite of blessing the bells for a newly built church devoted to Holy martyrs of Sebaste was served. Blessing of the bells was performed with the blessing and on behalf of His Holiness Irinej, Serbian Patriarch Bishop Atanasije of Hvosno with the concelebration of episcopal dean protopresbyter-staurophor Dragomir Ubiparovic, presbyter Aleksandar Mitrovic, Aleksandar Rajak, Dejan Todorovic, head of the church presbyter Goran Djukic, as well as deacon Dragan Tanasijevic and Darko Krstic.
This prayerful day began with the Holy Liturgy in the church of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos in Umcari, after which they went to Drazanj.
