Ridgefield hires first female fire chief in state
"I don't look at it that way," said Burford about being a woman who will be a fire chief.
Her concerns and goals in starting a new job, she said, would be the same whether man or woman. "I want to learn as much as I can about the membership of the department, the operations and the community."
Ridgefield First Selectman Rudy Marconi also played down the town's distinction of having the first female fire chief in the state.
"We looked at people who were the best qualified to be fire chief in Ridgefield, female or male. If she's the first female in the state, congratulations and bravo. She's energetic and has a lot of good ideas."
Burford, 40 years old and a battalion chief with the Manchester Fire-Rescue-EMS Department, will be replacing fire chief Louis Yarrish , who retired last week. She'll start her new job May 8.
"Heather is a terrifically qualified person," said Fred Dudek , president of the Connecticut Fire Chiefs' Association. Though there are some female fire chiefs in other states, Dudek said to the best of his knowledge Burford is the first female fire chief of either paid or volunteer departments in Connecticut.
Dudek said, however, that there are a number of women firefighters in the ranks in Connecticut, and Burford's appointment as a fire chief "may open some doors now" for other females to head fire departments.
Ridgefield has a paid fire department of 29 firefighters and a volunteer department of 35 firefighters. Burford will be the chief of both departments.
Marconi said selectmen began looking for a new chief in January when Yarrish, who had been chief for five years, announced he would leave at the end of March.
Assistant fire chief Nick Gaeta Sr. announced suddenly on Saturday that he was retiring after 36 years with the department. The four captains of the Ridgefield Fire Department are in charge until Burford takes over.
Fire Captain Glenn Lake , who has been with the department for 20 years, said he's excited about Burford's appointment. "She brings a lot of knowledge to the town."
Burford's credentials in firefighting are impressive, with extensive practical and educational experience. She's been a paid firefighter in Manchester for 13 years, was a volunteer firefighter in Wilton for four years before that, went through the executive fire officer program at the
Ridgefield's Fire Department includes emergency medical services, and Burford has wide experience in that field, too. She is a paramedic and her job in Manchester as chief of a support services battalion includes full responsibility for the emergency medical services program as well as hazardous materials training and response.
Burford's administrative and budgetary experience were also a big plus in her getting the job, Marconi said. As battalion chief in Manchester, she has 80 people who report to her. She has done budgeting and human resources management and expects to get a master's degree in public administration from the University of Connecticut this spring.
"Of all the 48 applicants who started out with us, Heather Burford is the most qualified to be the chief of the Ridgefield Fire Department," said Marconi.
The field was whittled down to six candidates, who were then passed on to a panel of three police chiefs - from Milford, Norwalk and Wilton.
"Heather was at the top" of the panel's recommendations, he said.
Since Burford's contract hasn't been signed yet, Marconi didn't want to say what her salary will be. But the salary range, he said, is between $78,000 and $108,000.
"It's challenging, both intellectually and physically," Burford said about being a firefighter. Intellectually, she said, a firefighter has to be adept in many areas, including the way hazardous materials affect the environment or how to coordinate efforts in an emergency.
Physically, the job is demanding, she added. For instance, even routine firefighting equipment weighs 25 pounds, and moving heavy equipment around is part and parcel of the job.
Burford didn't start her career as a firefighter. She was born in Montreal, Canada, came to America about 25 years ago, and after earning a B.S. degree in zoology from Iowa State University became a clinical database analyst for a pharmaceutical company in New York.
Burford was living in Wilton in 1989 and was "very interested in wildland firefighting." She went to the local firehouse for information, and though there wasn't much available about these fires, Burnford was asked if she'd like to volunteer for the town.
Her firefighting training started soon after that and she was hooked. Four years later Burford applied for and got a paid firefighting job in Manchester.
"I found the fire service profession and never looked back," she said.
After 13 years in Manchester, Burford was ready for another step. "I'm at a point in my career where I'm ready for the next challenge - to manage a department."
Burford has heard good things about the Ridgefield department and is eager to work there. "I understand it's a well-respected department with a group of dedicated people."

2017 National Signing Day Classes
TCU | Baylor | Texas Tech | UT | Texas A&M | OU
Local Commitments: All | Baylor
A partially-deaf North Texas high school football player will take the next step toward fulfilling his dream of playing college football when he signs his National Letter of Intent Wednesday morning.
Woodrow Wilson High School's Darrion "Speedy" Green announced his commitment to Gallaudet University, a school for the deaf in Washington D.C. The 3-star recruit was also considering SMU, New Mexico and New Mexico State.
"I want to open the door for the deaf community," he said. "We have the opportunity to go to the next level."
Green inexplicably lost his hearing before his second birthday. He wears hearing aides when he plays, but his teammates met him halfway by learning some basic sign language.
"Our entire team kind of understands colors in American Sign Language [and] some formations in American Sign Language," Woodrow Wilson football coach Bobby Estes said.
Estes said it was evident early on that Green, who began receiving attention from Division I after his junior year, was special.
The 5-foot-11, 175-pound Green verbally committed to New Mexico last June 27.
During his senior season, the dynamic dual-threat rushed for 1,482 yards and 14 touchdowns on just 136 carries — a whopping 10.9 yards per carry. He added 10 tackles, 1 interception and 8 passes defended as a cornerback.
The latest news from around North Texas.
"We knew we had an athlete on our hands," Estes said.
As impressive as Green is on the field, his coach said it's what he is off the field that makes him impressive.
"His example is you don't hold anything back," Estes said. "And that's what makes him great."

We hope your Spring is going well as we move towards the solstice and the start of Summer for real. If you're a vegetable gardener like we are, you probably have seeds planted and sprouting, and transplanted seedlings in the ground that will soon turn into food for the table. Or maybe you're a flower person. We do some of that, too. We're particularly fond of the purple blossoms of iris, sage, chives, and climatis that populate our yard this time of year. The hops are climbing their twine on the way to their full 16 feet of height.
We are very excited about the next concert we have on the schedule. It's June 15 at Seven Steps Up in Spring Lake, MI. Gary and Michelle at Seven Steps Up are promoting a listening room atmoshpere with a couple of concert series that are proving very successful. Just last month they had two sold-out shows with famed singer-songwriter Jonathan Edwards. It's a very nice sounding room with comfortable seating. We're truly honored to be playing as part of their First & Third Friday Series of regional artists, and it's hardly more than a hop, skip, and a jump from home. Tickets are available at Run Amok Promotions. Here's the nice poster they designed:
Meanwhile, Max has been invited to attend the Mid-West Banjo Camp at Olivet College June 7-9 as a Guest Musician. He'll be the designated bass player for a number of fun and instructional jam sessions and try to help out wherever he can. It's a great opportunity and an honor to be asked. Our friend and favorite fiddler Dan Seabolt will be guesting at the camp, too. The staff is a who's who of bluegrass and old-time musicians including Bill Keith, Greg Cahill, Ken Perlman, Mike Sumner, Dave Para, Russ Barenberg, and a host of others. No doubt a good time will be had by all.
We're really looking forward to seeing you this summer, so check the schedule and come on out when you can.
All the best,
Ruth & Max

In the year of 1468, the first Florentine caravel under captain Buonarotti crossed the Atlantic, found the way to the Swedish colony of Nystad. They discovered the Potomac river, and since the area was yet unclaimed by Sweden, they claimed it for Florence. They named the land Italia Nuova (New Italy) and founded Roma Nuova at the site of OTL Richmond.
1543, with Scandinavia in Civil War / unrest, the other powers used the opportunity. Nystad, the capital of New Sweden, was taken by the Dutch; the South and West of the Chesapeake peninsula went to Italia Nuova. The Netherlands and Florence made a treaty, ruling the border between their colonies in Atlantis, and promising to respect their borders.
In the same year, Florentine troops stood in Naples and the Marches. Now however, the main army of the Rum-Seljuks arrived, and the Florentine army was defeated several times. The chaos allowed many carbonari to leave South Italy and flee to safer places. Many would settle in Italia Nuova, which soon included all of Virginia and Maryland (although thinly settled).
During the 1570s, the influx of Southern Italians in Florence had lead to the rich merchants being questioned about their lifestyle. In reaction, the Matthewan movement started, which defends their wealth. (Like OTL Calvin's teachings, they drew biblical support for their theory from the "Parable of the talents", from the Gospel of Matthew.) The duke ruled that the Matthewan interpretation of the Bible was the right one, and dissenters were displaced to the mountain areas of Italia Nuova.
In 1589, French who explored the source of the Tennessee river, found the way to Italia Nuova. The Appalachians became the border between Italia Nuova and French Louisiane.
During the 1670s, Italian settlers who were trying to cross the Appalachians were defeated by Atlanteans allied with the French.
1688, when Florence united with Sicily to form the kingdom of Italy, Italia Nuova was also drawn into the anti-French War. In 1692, Friedrich von Hohenzollern, a German in the service of the governor of Italia Nuova, performed "The wild ride", fought his way through the French colony of Caroline with his cavalry troops, finally linking up with the Spaniards in Florida. In the peace of Amsterdam 1694, Louisiane north of the Arkansas was divided between Italy (gaining the whole South) and Denmark-Braunschweig (the North).
Since ~1700, poor Italians (mostly from the South), often with differing religious ideas, settled west of the Appalachians, in the Tenesi (yes, OTL Tennessee) area.
Around 1800, settlement had reached the Rocky Mountains, where the Italians decided to stop.

Worried about getting old? It's simple. Eat less and you could live longer. This is the view held by an increasing number of medical professionals, scientists and nutritionists around the world including experts at the Calorie Restriction Society. These beliefs are based on extensive research which suggests that caloric restriction (CR) can actually slow aging and reduce the incidence of disease, ultimately prolonging life!
CR has been investigated by gerontologists for more than 60 years and provides the only intervention tested to date in mammals (typically mice and rats) that repeatedly and strongly increases maximum life span while retarding the appearance of age-associated pathologic and biologic changes. Although the large majority of rodent studies have initiated CR early in life (1-3 mo of age), CR started in mid-adulthood (at 12 mo) also extended maximum life span in mice. There is evidence to suggest that age-associated increases in oxidative damage may represent a primary aging process that is weakened by CR. With regards to testing on primates, recent studies in monkeys subjected to CR support the notion of human translatability.
CR should not be confused with regular weight loss diets. In fact, weight loss is regarded as a side effect, not a goal. The main objective is to achieve a longer and healthier life by eating fewer calories, while maintaining a regular balance of vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients. Following this diet brings about a reduction in the white adipose tissue mass and this has been proposed as a principal factor in longevity.
The pathways influenced by caloric restriction
The proteins altered by CR seem to be associated with several different cycles, including the glucose and lipid metabolic pathways which were consistent with increased lipid biosynthesis. The expression of proteins involved in the production of Oxalacetate and NADPH and in lipolysis and lipid biosynthesis was enhanced. In addition, certain insulin receptors were also increased by CR which was consistent with a higher response to lipogenic stimuli.
Other protein expression changes induced by CR gave improved protection against oxidative stress by halting the age-associated reduction in the levels of several antioxidant enzymes and decreasing the levels of stress-induced proteins.
Both CR and aging also changed the expression of proteins involved in the cytoskeleton, iron storage and energy metabolism as well as other proteins with currently unknown functions in adipose tissue.
The CR-induced changes are in line with reported microarray studies and will help to understand the molecular mechanisms behind the lifetime extension and the suppression of the effects of aging.
In the long term, the results could also lead to the identification of novel biomarkers of aging and possible targets for mimetics of CR that could provide the same outcome: an extended lifespan, without having to follow a rigorous and controlled diet.

KUALA LUMPUR, Jul 13 – Tenaga Nasional Bhd says it believes that competitive bidding for power plant projects would bring the best value to the industry. TNB President/ CEO Datuk Seri Ir Azman Mohd said the company shares the views of the Energy, Technology, Science, Climate Change and Environment Minister Yeo Bee Yin on the need for transparency in the tender process.
He was commenting on Yeo's announcement yesterday that the federal government decided to cancel four independent power producer (IPP) contracts that had been given by the previous administration. Those contracts, she said, were directly awarded and looking ahead, the ministry will only go through open tenders.
Speaking to reporters after a meeting with the Council of Eminent Persons (CEP) at Menara Ilham today, Azman said TNB is pleased to share thoughts on the way forward and the reforms needed for the utility sector.
"CEP has been open to listening to our views, and they are very knowledgeable on the power sector and what is best for Malaysia. We would continue to work together with the government to provide the best value for Malaysia. It is good for Malaysia that we do not work on emotions but make rational and knowledge-based decisions," he added.
On whether the industry reform could bring down the electricity tariff, he said there is room for improvement but the main factor driving costs is the fuel price, which is beyond TNB's control. He said coal and gas prices fluctuate according to global pricing and this needs to be managed and handled well, noting this is a common challenge not only in Malaysia but globally.
"The industry should re-look at power plants and also the policy on the margins that we should be having. The electricity industry is actually a trait of three things which are security, affordability and sustainability. Between the three, we have to find the most optimal balance to do that," he added. — Bernama

We're kicking off TOC with a cocktail mixer on Monday evening at Bowlmor Lanes, just few blocks south of the Sheraton. Join us for drinks, appetizers, and bowling (yes, bowling!). We know what you're thinking, but this won't be your typical bowling alley experience. Bowlmor Lanes is "luxury bowling," with swanky interior and modern decor. We've reserved a private room for the party, and everything's on us. The bowling is optional, but networking is mandatory. RSVP is required.
Please note: Space at this event is limited and we have reached capacity.
Bowlmor Lanes – 222 West 44th Street (between 7th and 8th)
Comments on this page are now closed.
@Abbie – if you RSVPd you are all set. No confirmation email needed.
I did not receive a confirmation for my RSVP. Should I have received an email or something for the We Heart Books Mixer?
@Ken – We'll be emailing you shortly
I confirmed for this event before I learned that my wife would be able to come down to join me on Valentines Day. Is it possible to add her to the list if I'm already on it? Thanks, Ken Haase (email@example.com).

See How She Runs
Marion Jones and the Making of a Champion
Marion Jones is one of those world-famous Americans that Americans have yet to discover. The world's fastest woman, she is accorded celebrity treatment in Europe, where she has been mobbed by autograph-seeking fans at international track meets. Yet the sprinter and long-jumper trains in relative obscurity in Raleigh, North Carolina, where few outside the track world have heard of her. That's all about to change—if her performance goes as predicted—at the 2000 Summer Olympics when track and field receives its quadrennial spotlight from the nation's television networks.
Jones, a former collegiate basketball star and a track phenomenon since junior high, could win as many as five gold medals in Sydney. Her amazing talent, combined with good looks, intelligence and charisma already have made her the darling of sports marketers placing their bets on the athletes most likely to grace a box of post-Olympics Wheaties. Craig Masback, CEO of USA Track and Field, puts Jones in a category with Pele, Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan, saying she "has the chance to be the first female international athlete to transcend sports."
If that's the case, this is the book that will be flying out of stores come September. Rapoport, an award-winning sport columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, delivers the goods on Jones' astonishing career. He begins with her childhood in California, when Jones consistently outran boys years older than she and had to quit her Little League team because she so outshone the boys that parents on opposing teams encouraged pitchers to hit her. In high school, she excelled at both track and basketball, and in her freshman year at University of North Carolina, she led her basketball team to the women's NCAA national championship. After her senior season at UNC, Jones realized she would have to choose between basketball and track. She went back to her first love, began training with a new coach and set the track world on fire in her first full-time season on the circuit.
Fans who cringe at the soap-opera-style coverage network television gives Olympic athletes will be delighted with this book. The focus is on the sport, not scandals, childhood traumas or long-suffering blind mothers dying of cancer who drive their little prodigies to practice at 4 a.m. every morning while eating cat food to pay for lessons. Rapoport, however, delivers plenty of drama on the field and court with his play-by-play coverage of key contests and his chronicle of Jones' incredible 1999 track season.
The big drama is yet to come, in Sydney, where Jones could make history and shatter Florence Griffith Joyner's world record in the 100 meters.

Battleship is presumably one of the earliest gameplays with more guesswork and simple rules. The simplicity of the rules (see the Wikipedia article for the rules) makes this game the favorite of backbenchers in classrooms.
The one drawback of the pencil and paper game was that you couldn't play it alone. That's gone now – you can play Battleship against Captain Computer. With some variations, the rules of the game are the same. So is the fun.
So let's head out to the deep waters of the cyberworld and pit ourselves against machines or remote players. Here are ten places to enjoy a free game of Battleship.
It's almost granted that you will have one of the oldest "˜social' games on today's largest social network. And there's quite a few of them strewn around. The ICN Facebook app which this link points to installs a toolbar (ICN Gaming Bar). However, the Flash Battleship game can be played without installing the toolbar add-on. Playing the game gives you a chance to earn some Facebook credits.
Excel Battleship
We have covered a few Excel games that takes a boring spreadsheet and turns it into a gaming platform. You can download the zipped file and open it up with a spreadsheet and play against the Excel "˜code'. Each ship is represented by rows of cells; e.g. 5 squares stand for an aircraft carrier and 4 stands for a battleship.
You start by positioning your ships anywhere on a 10×10 grid. Next, you click on the opponent's grid and start guessing the location of his ships.
Pogo has over 175 free online games. You use the search or click on the Battleship image you might find on the right. You can sign up and play, or play as a guest. Signing up connects you to other players on the Pogo gaming community. The game also has chat enabled.
The game is quite neat in appearance and play with a lot of variations and even four sets of rules. You can use any of the rules and setup challenges. Place your fleet and play with any of the modes like Powerups, Salvo, Target plus One, or Basic. As usual, the goal is to stay afloat.
Battleship Nexus
On Bubblebox you can play Battleship in space. The side-winding game window against the background of space gives the game a quickfire feel.
Battleship: General Quarters
Online Flash games are simple but fun. In the Battleship: General Quarters game, deploy your ships and shoot off your cannons. The board is 3-dimensional with neat explosion effects. Then there's your Executive Officer who goads you to fight back after each hit. The game can also be played on Miniclip.
Bazosoft Battleships Online
You can choose between two game types (Classic and Mayhem). Drag and drop your games into the blue 10×10 grid and wait for someone to join in against you for a round of Battleship. A registration on the site allows you to play five games simultaneously against anyone in the world.
You can also play as a guest using any of the three guest accounts which limits you to a total of five games in all. You have to feed in your cell co-ordinates to attack and sink ships.
Your Turn My Turn
This Battleship game is a Java applet. Place your five boats on the grid. Before registering, you can try your hands on the practice games just to get a feel of the interface. What the Java applet lacks in looks, it makes up in speed as you can play a blindingly fast game against the computer.
Free Online Battleship
Enter the battle room of this online Battleship game and let the background music put you in the mood. Play a rapid-fire round against the computer's fleet and see if you can come out on top. No log-in is required.
Sink My Ship
The Java and Ajax game site has another version of the Battleship game. You can join the worldwide community and play multi-player games or play against the server in a single player challenge. Win the battles and you could see yourself in the leaderboard.
Battleship Games
The online Battleship games arcade site has not one but many variations of the classic Battleship game. The games are also sourced from other websites. For instance, the Battleship Advanced Mission is a full scale sea war with voiceovers and ship tonnage details. The effects are one of the best we have seen so far in the Flash games covered. The Torpedo Attack game is a variation of the Battleship scenario. You have to guess and attack the computer's fleet with torpedoes.
Sink or float, Battleship is one of the oldest and addictive time wasters around. You blasted around with it in class probably. Now, you can do the same in the office with these online games.
Tell us about your nostalgic thoughts on the game and if you still have a favored website to play it online.

It's about this time of year when I start getting Christmas on the brain. Yes, I'm definitely one of those people who watch Christmas movies unacceptably early and start listening to Amy Grant come October (ok ok, I've already listened to her Christmas album once...). I just love Christmas time.
Since we had Astrid, it's been really fun talking about what kinds of traditions we want to have as our own family of 3. We always are traveling to our respective families homes for the actual day, but for the past few years we celebrate just us on New Years Day. I love waking up at home and drinking coffee by our tree. It's the BEST! And now it's even more exciting that Astrid is in the mix. I think she will be really into everything Christmas this year, including the cookies!
In the spirit of Christmas soon approaching, I decided to do some prelimary "research" on what cookies to make this year. So I bookmarked some new Swedish cookies I haven't made before and decided to bake and eat my way through them to see which ones would make the cut for this year's Christmas. It's tough work, but someone has to do it.
First, I baked these Almond Spice cookies from the famous Swedish cookbook Swedish Cakes and Cookies (or Sju Sjorter kakor in Swedish). I love a good spice cookie in wintertime and these didn't disappoint. Be warned though, they are subtly spicy, not like gingerbread or pepperkakor. They only contain cinnamon and cardamom for the spices - one of my favorite spice combos!
Ready for fika!
I really enjoyed the texture of both the ground almonds in the cookies, and the pearl sugar on top. And don't worry, I didn't eat the entire place of cookies.
Verdict: I liked them! Especially warm from the oven. After I bake through more recipes, I'll do a final verdict of what makes the Christmas Cookie list for 2016 - these are definitely a contender!
Swedish Almond Spice Cookies
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 1/4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
2/3 cup ground almonds (I used blanched, slivered almonds and gave them a quick grind in my food processor)
Garnish with pearl sugar
Preheat oven to 400. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, add egg. Combine remaining ingredients and add, kneading lightly. Form into small balls and roll in pearl sugar and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Notes: I found 10 minutes was perfect - the bottom of these cookies seemed to brown quickly. I would check them early. They didn't stick to the pearl sugar easily when I rolled the balls in; I had to gently push the sugar into the dough. If you don't have pearl sugar, I'm sure regular sugar would suffice but you'd miss out on the crunchy texture that it offers. If you have a local IKEA you can check their pantry section - they used to carry it in the past at ours, but I haven't seen in there in about a year now.
Happy Fika-ing! :)

Dilma Vana Rousseff (born 14 December 1947) is the 36th and current President of Brazil. She is the first woman to hold the office. Prior to that, in 2005, she was also the first woman to become Chief of Staff of Brazil, appointed by then President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
The daughter of a Bulgarian immigrant father, Rousseff was raised in an upper middle class household in Belo Horizonte. She became a socialist during her youth, and following the 1964 coup d'état joined various left-wing and Marxist urban guerrilla groups that fought against the military dictatorship. Rousseff was captured and jailed between 1970 and 1972 and reportedly tortured.
After her release, Rousseff rebuilt her life in Porto Alegre with Carlos Araújo, who would be her partner for 30 years. Both helped found the Democratic Labour Party (PDT) in Rio Grande do Sul, participating in several of the party's electoral campaigns. She became the Secretary of the Treasury of Porto Alegre in the Alceu Collares administration, and later the Secretary of Energy of Rio Grande do Sul under both Collares and Olívio Dutra administrations. In 2000, after an internal dispute in the Dutra cabinet, she left PDT and joined the Workers' Party (PT).
In 2002, Rousseff joined the committee responsible for the energy policy of presidential candidate Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who after winning the election invited her to become Minister of Energy. In 2005, a political crisis triggered by a corruption scandal led to the resignation of Chief of Staff José Dirceu. Rousseff took over the post, remaining in office until March 31, 2010, when she left in order to run for President. She was elected in a run-off on 31 October 2010. She is the first female elected President of Brazil, in addition to being the first economist elected for the office.

update on property development around treehouse
Submitted by tremontsoul on Wed, 04/28/2010 - 00:58.
To maintain the integrity of the streetscape as planned since 2002(rather then put a tar surfaced parking lot in the center of the main district) and encourage neighborhood, city and local businesses involvement until a more feasible development can be economically sustained, we're proposing the use of the property as an urban garden and sculpture garden. This would create a visually appealing sustainable green scape and positively enhance tremont, which does not include allowing the variance.
A Mayoral conflict of interest to exploit
Submitted by Lee Batdorff on Mon, 04/19/2010 - 01:49.
There is a direct conflict of interest in Mayor Frank Jackson's dual roles as Mayor of Cleveland, and controlling the Cleveland Public Schools.
This conflict is illustrated in the potential property tax values that will be distoryed if the Mayor's proposal, (at the behest of the Ohio Department of Mental Health), to build the so-named, "Mayor Jackson Mental Hospital," on Euclid Avenue at E. 56th St.
Property Taxes go largely to public schools.

To Save People The Bother of Attacking Me
Submitted by Norm Roulet on Sun, 02/28/2010 - 21:12.
I'll be brief.
I co-founded realNEO in 2004 because Northeast Ohio needs realNEO - the world needs realNEO. It is entirely different from any other "social network" or content management system on Earth, building upon the ICEarth co-op conceptual framework.
I developed the ICEarth (Internet/Information Community Earth) conceptual framework in global collaboration, in the late 1990's, and founded ICEarth LLC, in 2002, to build the co-op data warehousing and serving platform for the ICEarth conceptual framework.
We have built specialised hardware for ICEarth, running specialised open source software, all developed to unique specifications. Initial testing of the hardware and software configurations exceeds expectations.

I've Identified Some Astounding Information Technology Talent in real NEO that has been harmed by our regional leadership, and I'm trying to find a nice way to deal with that. Each of these people have risen to positions of demonstrated excellence in their fields - have innovated our regional information technology landscape and had global impact - and each of them have been directly violated by leadership in our community - IT leadership and community development leadership. They have each done the right things - each taken the right steps - and each been blocked along the way. And each are "minority". How do I now give them the proper status they deserve in the community, where they have not been welcome or valued?

Cleveland lost another one of its great historic institutions, Sunday morning, as the Lancer Steakhouse burned beyond salvage, and was demolished. Established in the mid-1950's, making it one the first restaurant's in Cleveland owned and operated by an African American, the Lancer was for five decades at the heart of more political action, and home to more important moments and memories, than any other restautant in this region - a truly historic place in the evolution of Northeast Ohio, for the past 50 years.

The conspiracy to build the Mayor Frank Jackson state mental hospital
Submitted by Lee Batdorff on Thu, 12/03/2009 - 01:46.
In the Sunday Nov. 29th Plain Dealer cover story about the Health Line Steven Litt deserves much praise for mentioning in the fifth to the last paragraph of a 32-paragraph article that somehow, "a state psychiatric hospital planned near East 55th Street could discourage development of housing and other businesses nearby."
At least Mr. Litt said it somewhere. This soft touch on something that could be very destructive to the future of Cleveland is puzzling. There is much to look into concerning this proposal.

Submitted by Norm Roulet on Mon, 11/02/2009 - 17:40.
October 7, 2009, we began our sixth year of ongoing, expansive, free, open source content management and global knowledge sharing, community building, social networking and collaboration on REALNEO. See posting Number 1, REALNEO Development Plan, from October 7, 2004, here, for links to many source documents from the planning and development of REALNEO, since 2004.
Congratulations to all REALNEO members, from day one to today! We've come a long way, since 2004, and our outcomes run far deeper than is seen on the surface of REALNEO. Six years is an eternity, in the world of social computing - we're about 8 months younger than Facebook, and a paradigm beyond - we are Real Co-op!

EDMONTON – Connor Hellebuyck has been named the NHLs first star of the week.
The Winnipeg Jets goalie wrapped up 2017 by going 3-0 and turning aside 99 of the 104 shots he faced in those starts, posting a 1.69 goals-against average and .952 save % in the process.
Hellebuyck has been a pleasant surprise for the Jets this season, wrestling back the No. 1 job after the organization signed Steve Mason to a two-year deal on July 1.
"It's nice. The team is clicking and it feels good in the locker room," Hellebuyck said after the Jets defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-0 on Sunday to close out 2017 in first place in the Central Division with a record of 23-11-6. "It's how you go through your career, you're going to get better every day. It helps when the team is clicking like this, scoring goals and blocking shots and playing unbelievable in front of me."
Hellebuyck has gone 21-4-5 this season in 32 games, including 30 starts and is among the league leaders in several categories, including wins (third), goals-against average (seventh), save % (tied for seventh) and shutouts (tied for fourth).
"It's rewarding, but I always expected this out of myself," said Hellebuyck. "I'm not satisfied. I want more and I want to be better and I want to be the best I possibly can, every single day."
Hellebuyck had a heavy workload in December and endured some early challenges, giving up four or more goals in five of eight starts, but he's been lights out to close out the month – going 5-0-1 while posting a 1.65 goals-against average, a .949 save % and two shutouts.
Simply put, Hellebuyck is looking energized and refreshed coming out of the Christmas break.
"I think so," said Jets head coach Paul Maurice. "His numbers are good. He's played a lot of hockey but it was our schedule more than anything else because he's in that low 60s, pro-rated for the season, which is a good number for a guy playing as well as he is. We got into a heavy grind there, and he played a lot of games when Steve (Mason) got hurt. So, yep, he looks strong, he looks good and we really paid for it in the last two months. It has nothing to do with the quality of opponent but we've got some rest time here in January and that will be good for our team."
Hellebuyck joined Blake Wheeler and Nikolaj Ehlers as members of the Jets who were chosen as NHL first stars of the week.
The Jets close out a two-game road trip in Denver on Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche, who improved to 19-16-3 after a 6-1 win over the New York Islanders on Sunday.
During Monday's workout, Jets defenceman Dustin Byfuglien was a full participant and shed the non-contact jersey he's been wearing recently.
Maurice told reporters in Denver that if Byfuglien doesn't suffer any setbacks, he's likely to return to the lineup against the Avalanche after missing the past 10 games with a lower-body injury.

Tudors History day at Green Lane
3rd October 2016
Makers of History visited Green Lane School to work with pupils in Key Stage 2. Key Stage 2 classes have/will cover aspects of Tudor life within their history curriculum. Class 3 are focusing on Henry VIII and his six wives throughout Autumn term. This was the key focus for the Tudor workshop taking place. Each of the pupils had an amazing experience and thoroughly enjoyed the morning. They learnt how to greet their Queen Catherine Parr and all about the role of Knight Jack. Pupils engaged in practical activities such as clay crown making, Tudor dance and joined in waving ribbons and supporting their friends in a theatre production. It was a thoroughly enjoyable morning and feedback from staff and pupils was amazing. We are all so proud of how much the children learnt and have loved hearing about their favourite parts of the workshop.

Once you decide between semi-auto or revolver and finalize your caliber choice, your next question will be, "What brand of Handgun should I buy?!?" Fortunately today, there are a ton of great options. Assuming a working man's budget, with a focus on value, and based on my own personal, hands-on experience plus extensive research:
- For semi-autos, I have significant hands-on experience with, and am partial to Beretta, Glock, and Sig Sauer. There are also many great offerings from Smith & Wesson's M&P line, Springfield Armory, FNH USA , CZ USA, Heckler & Koch (pronounced 'coke') and Ruger. All reputable, qualified reviews, articles and videos I've researched on those have been very positive. Many of the brands I've presented here have an extensive pedigree including Military and/or Law Enforcement use – and that definitely says something. These are your 'mainstream' semi-auto gun manufactures and you generally can't go wrong with a weapon that has been successfully tested and put into use by a major Military or Law Enforcement agency.
- When it comes to Double-Action revolvers, I recommend Smith & Wesson and Ruger. This is the stuff of endless Internet and gun forum debate. Saving you a ton of reading, the prevailing thoughts seem to be that Ruger firearms are over-built, but Smiths are The Cadillac of Guns, having better triggers which lend themselves to better accuracy. Honestly, you can't go wrong either way.
- Taurus, what about Taurus?! Taurus International Manufacturing makes both semi-auto pistols and revolvers. I have no personal experience with Taurus beyond handling a few at my local gun store. Again hopefully saving you a ton of reading and research time, the bottom line seems to be that Taurus offers great value for your money. Fit, finish and attention to detail will not likely be on par with some of the other manufacturers I've mentioned above, but you'll get a working, reliable gun for a very reasonable amount of money. If you are on a very tight budget, Taurus might be the way to go.
This is a bit like "Ford Vs. Chevy" or even "Blonds, Brunettes or Redheads" in that with so many good offerings from so many reputable manufacturers – and many made right here, in the U.S.A. which is something important to a lot of people these days. You almost can't go wrong with an offering from the list I've recommended, so is really your call, and should be based on personal preferences. You're the only one who must be happy with the decision. Check out different makes and models. Surf the Web. Visit your local gun. Try to get experience shooting your choices by finding a local range with a rental program or by going shooting with a friend. Pick the one you are most comfortable with, the one that feels best in your hand, and the one that best fits your budget.
