The Blog That Cried Greenwashing
Some companies deserve a little more credit.
It's good that consumers are learning to keep a discerning eye on companies' green efforts. Greenwashing - the marketing of a product to make it appear more eco-friendly than it actually is - runs rampant in a market where the number of green products is increasing every year. A study by TerraChoice Marketing found that 98 percent of green products committed at least one of seven green ' sins' that include hidden trade-offs, vagueness, irrelevance, or fibbing. Because we have the power to cast a vote for green each time we go through a supermarket check-out, it's important that we know, and get, what we're paying for.
But I wonder if, among a certain set of green-heeled consumers, we're too eager to call out corporations for greenwashing needlessly. For example, I read that Reynolds Wrap, maker of aluminum foil, had committed a cardinal greenwashing sin with their new 100 percent recycled aluminum foil that recently hit the shelves:
Reynolds has repackaged their aluminum (Al) foil as made from 100% recycled (!) aluminum. And the familiar blue box is now mostly green with a tree growing across the front.
Never mind that all brands of Al foil have been made almost entirely from recycled aluminum since the 1970s. Even worse, they [Reynolds Wrap] put together a press kit announcing this new/old product and the blogosphere has been astroturfed with their wonderful news.
At least for the last couple of decades, nearly all the aluminum in the US market is recycled. Al is simply too valuable to landfill.
Not so fast. I talked to Reynolds Wrap, and the product is, indeed, new. "Until recently, reliable and high quality sources of recycled aluminum have been inconsistent and not to the standard we require for the strength and durability of Reynolds Wrap," said a spokesperson for Reynolds. The unrecycled foil is made from virgin aluminum made from bauxite. The unrecycled and new recycled aluminum foils have a similar feel, performance and price point. The packaging is also recycled, and uses water-based ink. Recycling aluminum foil uses 5 only percent of the energy needed to make the original.
There are other green consumers who would say that, by virtue of being disposable, Reynolds Wrap can never be green. Same goes for the biodegradable disposable cutlery and water bottles that I've begun to notice popping up in cafes. In some ways, they are right. Supposedly, Americans throw away enough aluminum each month to rebuild our commercial air fleet.
But, let's face it - we will not wake up tomorrow to a world that has no need or desire for disposables like aluminum foil or cutlery, so these products aren't going away any time soon. That means consumers can make a choice: biodegradable or landfill, recycled or virgin, or the choice not to buy the product at all. Is our definition of greenwashing too broad, or too narrow?

RALEIGH — The N.C. Virtual Public School had lax standards when it came to enrolling, tracking and reporting the thousands of students it educated in online classes, a state audit has found.
In a report by State Auditor Beth Wood on Monday, the school was found to have overreported students in some areas and underreported in others, while giving some teachers improper access to the registration system. The school didnt verify its enrollment figures by seeking independent reviews.
The audit also found that leaders at the school inconsistently conducted performance reviews of its teachers, including one instructional leader who performed her own evaluation and two other teachers who were not reviewed at all. One teacher who received an unsatisfactory review did not provide required teacher feedback on how to improve.
Accurately tracking enrollment is important, the audit said, because teacher pay is based on the number of students who complete online courses.
The audit looked at the schools operations from July 1, 2012, to Jan. 31, 2013. During that period, 24,000 middle and high school students took online classes in the program, and teacher pay for those courses totaled $6.6 million.
The virtual school did not properly monitor access to the registration system. Tests found that four teachers had the ability to get into the system, the audit said, potentially creating a situation where someone could inflate enrollment numbers to increase pay.
Though there were problems with the way students were counted in enrollment data, the audit did not find any instances of overpayment to teachers in a test sample of 60 payments.
The schools annual report to the State Board of Education contained errors, overreporting enrollment in traditional schools by 1,726 students and leaving out enrollment in 22 charters schools, thus undercounting students by 873, the audit said.
The state Department of Public Instruction, which oversees the virtual school, said those errors were typos and that the annual report is used only for information purposes.
The department said it had instituted a number of processes to correct the deficiencies found by the auditors. Among the changes: better screening to make sure instructors dont have access to the registration system; new, independent reviews of enrollment data and pay calculations; and a better system for documenting teacher evaluations.
The Department of Public Instruction and North Carolina Virtual Public School feel that appropriate action has been taken to address the findings in the audit report, wrote State Superintendent June Atkinson. Procedures have been implemented to properly mitigate all risks noted.
Woods report said the auditors did not evaluate the information in DPIs response, and accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
The virtual school was established in 2005 and began offering courses in 2007. The idea was to give students access to subjects not offered in their school districts. It was seen as a particular advantage to rural students whose schools did not offer a wide variety of classes.
In 2011-12, more than 49,000 students from 115 school districts and 36 charter schools took the online classes. More than 100 courses are offered through the virtual school.

WASHINGTON - NOVEMBER 20: Oakland Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha #21 celebrates after the Raiders recovered a game winning fumble in the fourth quarter on November 20, 2005 at Fed Ex Field in Landover, Maryland. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images)
The venerable Matt Maiocco says every team in the league is going to be after the Raiders Nnamdi Asomugha.
One team that is reportedly already after the All-Pro corner is the Raiders' division rival the San Diego Chargers.
The San Diego Union Tribune reports that the Chargers may target Asomugha to be a center piece on an already stellar defense.
There are connections between San Diego and Asomugha as well. Current San Diego head coach Norv Turner coached the shutdown corner when he was the Raiders' head coach in 2004 and 2005.
But there are other teams that are being linked to Asomugha as well. Some analysts have linked the corner with the New York Jets and a dream pairing with fellow shutdown corner Darrel Revis.
Some reports indicate that Asomugha may be willing to take less money to play for a winner, which the Jets certainly are.
No team will be able to secure Asomugha's services until the league and its players reach a new collective bargaining agreement.

Torquay Attraction
Located a short walk from Torquay's attractive harbourside, marina, town centre and local amenities, the Shirley is the ideal base from which to enjoy your Holiday or Short Break in Torquay.
Part of "The English Riviera" and based on the stunning South Devon coastline, Torquay is one of the UK's leading holiday destinations and it's easy to see why! It's the place to relax, soak up the atmosphere, take in the scenery and experience a holiday in a classic English seaside resort.
Along the waterfront you'll find the palm-lined promenade, seafront gardens, a lively harbour and an International marina. The yacht masts and luxury sports boats lying in the marina framed in front of an illuminated bridge and the coastal footpath make for a great backdrop to enjoy an evening drink after visiting Torquay's coastal zoo or enjoying a show at the Princess Theatre.
Spread along the 22 miles of English Riviera coastline are 19 beaches and coves, incorporating long, open stretches of sand with plenty of facilities, through to much more secluded and private coves. Many beaches in Torquay hold coveted blue flag awards for their cleanliness.
Are you an Agatha Christie fan?Then Torquay is the place for you! It is her hometown and there is an excellent exhibition in the local museum. She was baptized and worshipped at All Saints Church, Torre. Many visitors make an appointment to see the Church where you can hear anecdotes and details of her early life. You can also visit her house near Kingswear or view her estate from the River Dart, a very pleasant outing.
Other attractions include the Pre-historic Kents Caverns , Babbacombe's model village, the ancient village of Cockington, River Trips, Fishing Villages and well known Theme Parks all a short drive or bus journey away, each with interests for all ages groups.
The Shirley Hotel is ideally situated for eating out and exploring the beauty of Torbay, with over 22 miles of unspoilt coastline, 18 beaches, secluded coves, and the spectacular, rugged Dartmoor National Park.

Carol Shea Porter served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2007-2011 and then was defeated by Frank Guinta who arrived with the Tea Party. What has been happening since Carol has been "out"?
Conservative Republicans like Congressman Guinta have refused to raise taxes on the wealthy, and have pushed replacing our guaranteed-benefit Medicare with vouchers (which would lead to over $6,000 per year of individual payments from seniors) and replacing Social Security with risky private "investments" on Wall St. Guinta and the Republicans favor subsidies for home schooling and private schools, not public schools, and also do subsidies for Big Oil but have voted to eliminate Meals on Wheels and cut Medicaid.
What has Carol been for? Carol supported investments in infrastructure such as bridges, roads, rails and power grids plus upgrading old schools. Carol was behind funding to replace the Memorial Bridge in Portsmouth! She has worked and voted to strengthen American small businesses and manufacturing.
Carol wants to be re-elected and continue her good works in the House. She was a prime mover in acquiring funds for the modernization of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. She is in favor of clean energy (such as thermal, solar, wind and tidal) and voted for the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Energy (HR354) which became law. She believes that it will be good that almost everyone will now have health insurance and that if some cannot pay for it, the government will help them pay for it. She would like both parties to work together for the good of our country.

ANNA MARIA -- It was some 18 years ago that Beach Bistro owner Sean Murphy hired Peter Arpke as a dishwasher. On Thursday, Chef Arpke became a contender for one of the culinary world's greatest distinctions.
The James Beard Foundation announced the restaurant and chef semifinalists for the 2013 James Beard Foundation Awards, the "Oscars" of the food world. The foundation, which promotes the culinary arts in America and develops recognition of the chef's profession as an important element of culture and hospitality, named Arpke a semi-finalist as Best Chef in the South for 2013.
Arpke, who no longer has to wash the dishes, is enthralled.
"I am humbled by the nomination," he said. "It is the highest honor that an American chef can receive. I am also grateful for all of the support I have received from the Beach Bistro and Eat Here chef teams."
After working his way up from dishwasher, Arpke developed his talents and capabilities until he took over the head chef position of the chef team at the Bistro and helped develop and train similar chef teams at other restaurants that Murphy opened as a part owner or consultant.
Today, Arpke is not only head chef for the Beach Bistro, he also serves as execu
tive chef for the three Eat Here restaurants that owner Murphy opened on Anna Maria, in Sarasota and on Siesta Key.
Murphy said he is "deeply moved" by Arpke's selection.
"Beard 'Best Chef of the South' has a great ring to it," Murphy said. "I can still see him as a kid in my kitchen. Peter is an excellent candidate for this award. He has worked hard at his profession for a very long time."
Arpke was selected as a semifinalist in the nation's southern region and is one of nine Florida chefs on the list.
Florida has more chefs on the list than any other "south region" state. New Orleans is the city with most nominations in the category with five semi-finalists. The semifinalists were selected by a Restaurant and Chef Committee from over 44,000 online entries in 20 categories.
Murphy said Arpke shined when he had an opportunity "to lead the chef teams that created the Beach Bistro's performance dinners at the James Beard House in New York in 2005 and 2010."
"The James Beard House is America's culinary temple," Murphy said. "The Beard House performance dinners are a true test of a chef's talents, and Peter's performance there was stellar."
The Beach Bistro and Eat Here restaurants have had an impressive run of awards and acclaim in the past year. The Bistro was once again selected to ZAGAT's "Top Restaurants in America" and received honors for "Best Food" on Florida's Gulf Coast.
The Eat Here restaurants were selected by Florida Trend's Golden Spoon Award program as one of their "Best New Restaurants" in Florida. Each Eat Here restaurant has been selected "Best New Restaurant" by each of the communities where they have opened.
The finalists for the James Beard Award will be announced March 18, and are determined by an independent volunteer panel (restaurant critics, food editors, past winners) of more than 600 judges from across the country. The panel votes on specific award categories to determine the final five nominees in each category. From there, the winners will be announced May 6 at an awards ceremony held in New York's Lincoln Center.
Some of this year's Beard awards have already been announced -- chef Emeril Lagasse was awarded the Humanitarian Award and chef Cecilia Chiang has been honored with the Lifetime Achievement Awards.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — We have all experienced much sadness lately and while we grieve for the loss of 20 children and their teachers and mentors, it came a lot closer to home for me when I lost my friend, neighbor and block club supporter Connie Rodhy around the same time.
"Aunt" Connie as many called her was a friend to everyone and was a caretaker herself driving anyone to medical tests and visits as the need arose. Although we graduated from high school together, I first met her when she appeared at my door back in 1995 with candidate James Galie who was campaigning for mayor. She lived on 7th Street, around the corner from me and was introducing him to her neighborhood. Our paths crossed again when she came to console me in 1996 following a robbery and assault in my garage as she read about it in the Niagara Gazette. With her help, we started the Blockbusters Block Club and became fast friends. Connie stepped up and became treasurer of the club and hosted meetings in her home when the Methodist Church closed.
Dorothy, Kerry, Elsie. Bernice, Greg, Curt, Dot and Ernie, Larry and Joanne and others would enjoy attending our neighborhood group and Connie made us very welcome.
She and I would often ride around the neighborhood listing probable housing code violations and trash problems. She would drive and I would write and take photos which we presented to our area inspector Dennis Virtuoso at the next meeting. We also held picnics at our block club park on Eighth Street and I could count on her help at Crime Night Out as well.
Connie's birthday was in May and mine in July so we treated ourselves to dinner every year during June at the Western Door Steak House at the Seneca Niagara Casino. Some years our friends would join in and we had someone to share those large "sides" they serve. We volunteered together at the Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center gift shop on Sunday afternoons a few years ago until we realized there were not enough customers to make it worthwhile as we usually ended up just sitting and knitting and selling an occasional candy bar. She remained loyal and volunteered at the shop on other days and I went on to others things.
We always supported the auxiliary events and I missed her at the Holiday Luncheon this year during her illness. She was a regular "rocker" at the annual Auxiliary Rock-A-Thon in April and had many friends through this organization.
During 2006 while I was at my son's in Maryland, my water lines froze and it was raining on my dining room table. Connie came to the rescue and offered her spare room to me as I had to vacate the premises. Following permission from my insurance carrier, I rented her remaining vacant apartment next door and we spent a lot of time together. She was working at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church at the time and she would take me along to dinner at Father Duane's when she was invited. He makes the best pizza. When I moved back home in June, we would still eat together at her house or mine or we would go out on Friday nights for "you know what."
Although Connie was a widow and had no children of her own, she was very close to her immediate family and various nieces and nephews were always in her life. She included me in her families' holiday feasts and I was also included to watch the Fourth of July fireworks at her nephew's mother-in-law's great viewing spot on Buffalo Avenue. We usually caught up with current events in early morning telephone conversations about neighborhood problems, coming events and other gossip.
Her life was as busy as mine and we became involved in many of the same organizations like the Friends of the Local History Department where we met Pete Ames and Larry Steele. She followed them and joined the Board of Directors at Oakwood Cemetery where many improvements have been made under their watch.
Connie loved her family, her friends, her church and her two cats, Timmy and Tommy. She showed this love in many ways some of which I have mentioned. As we begin to celebrate the Christmas season it will be harder without her but I am sure she has joined her late husband Ken and family members and is busy catching up with departed friends and making new ones. Please keep her in your thoughts. Sleep in Heavenly Peace Aunt Connie ...Norma Higgs serves with the Niagara Beautification Commission and Niagara Falls Block Club Council.

Corsicana Daily Sun
Stringer Jenkins and Margaret Moore were married on Sept. 6, 1952. They have five children; Stan Jenkins, Beth Sepedy, Mary Loraine White, Tommy Jenkins and Lisa Nowosatka.
The children hosted a celebration in honor of their parent's anniversary on Sat., Sept. 7, 2013. There were many friends and relatives in attendance and a good time was had by all. Guests were entertained by a video montage using hundreds of photos from Stringer and Margaret's dating years and wedding to the present. The photos included their five children, 11 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren at different stages in their lives. Also included in the photos were the couple's parents and many of Stringer and Margaret's siblings, nieces and nephews.
There were hors d'oeuvres served including silver dollar sandwiches, vegetable tray with dip, meat and cheese pinwheel wraps, deviled eggs, a variety of chips and dips, a cheeseball and crackers, a chocolate fountain with a variety of fruits and other dipping goodies, punch and iced tea. There was also a large cake with buttercream icing decorated with red roses.
Guests were present from Fort Worth, Mesquite, Liberty City, Dawson, Kerens, Barry, Waxahachie, Blooming Grove, Allen, and Wylie. Margaret's maid of honor, Navada Grounds Hollifield, was present from Blooming Grove and Stringer's best man, Bud Moore from Blooming Grove, was also in attendance.

I began baking as a hobby about 50 years ago. It offers many rewards, like making something and getting to eat it, too.
It's rewarding to share something you've baked. I always make at least two pumpkin pies so I can give one away to someone. I gave one yesterday to the check-out lady at the grocery store. And I take about 400 cookies with me to church each Sunday.
One of the biggest thrills in baking for me is to share a recipe. It's like giving someone something and you never know where it is going to go next, or how it will change.
And so today I will share a recipe that I hope you use frequently and share even more often. My wife, Marilyn, found this recipe in an Amish cookbook over 25 years ago, and it has allowed me to run wild with ideas for pies since then.
If you have questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.
No – Roll Pie Crust
1 ½ cups plus 3 Tbs. Flour
½ tbs. Sugar
½ tsp. Salt
½ cup vegetable oil
4 Tbs. Cold milk
Blend the flour, sugar and salt.
Pour the milk into the oil and beat until creamy.
Pour the oil/milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir until flour is moist and sort of like play-dough. Pat flour up the sides of a 9 inch pie pan, then smooth the layer to cover the bottom of the pan.
If you need a baked pie shell, bake at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes.
This recipe will not work for a top crust.
A pie needs to look good as well as taste good. Practice different decorations for the pie crust edge until you find one you like. I can make this crust from start to finish in under 10 minutes … but I've had 25 years and many hundreds of pies to practice on. It is a great crust, and so easy to make. Try making a pie for dessert tonight!

NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass., September 16, 2006 - Springfield College sophomore T.J. Potenza (Cranston, R.I.) finished 45th overall out of 155 total runners as the Pride came in ninth place as a team out of 29 participating squads at this afternoon's UMass Dartmouth "Shriners" Cross Country Invitational.
Potenza paced the Pride by finishing the five-mile course in a time of 27:05, as he averaged a time of 5:25 per mile. SC compiled a team total of 271 points to finish ninth overall. Trinity College won the men's team title with 62 total points, followed by Brandeis University with 71 points, Stonehill College with 125, Amherst College at 134, and Tufts University rounding out the top five with 138.
Sophomore Mike Griffin (Scarborough, Maine) was the second runner in for the Pride as he finished 51st overall with a time of 27:15. Griffin's mile pace was marked at an impressive 5:27. Coming in right behind Griffin was senior Patrick Gann (Guilford, Conn.), as the tri-captain finished 57th overall with a time of 27:25, good for an average pace of 5:29 per mile.
Senior Nate McMahan (Millis, Mass.) was the fourth runner in for SC on the day, averaging a mile time of 5:32 while finishing the race in 27:39, good for a 68th-place finish.

The Pride will next compete at the Purple Valley Classic on Saturday afternoon, September 23rd, in a meet hosted by Williams College in Williamstown, Mass.

RALEIGH — A day after the fact, Alex Semin's pass to Jiri Tlusty still was the talk of the Canes' locker room.
If you missed it, check it out below or on YouTube, ESPN or NHL.com. It's a beauty. Semin whipped a spinning between-the-legs pass from the right circle, the puck zipping through the skates of Winnipeg defender Zach Bogosian to Tlusty on the back side for an easy goal.
"Just recently on ESPN they had something like the top 10 passes of all time," goalie Dan Ellis said. "I would say it would be in that top 10 now.
"I think No. 1 was when (Washington's Alex) Ovechkin or someone was laying down and passed it. But the one last night has to definitely be in the top 10 in NHL history. The fact he was able to spin and put it through the D-man's feet and past the backside defender was pretty good."
Ellis said Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks made a pass last year against the Anaheim Ducks that had everyone's jaws dropping, but said Semin's pass was "outstanding."
Canes coach Kirk Muller laughed today when asked if he had taught Semin that move.
"That one you can't teach," Muller said. "That's a highlight pass. I keep saying he gets more of a high making plays than scoring goals. Now we have to get him as excited to score as he does making those type of plays.
"I don't know where it ranks but it's up there with those elite few who can make those kind of plays."
Semin's reputation in the league is of the ultimate offensive sniper. But Muller said Semin's playmaking ability is considerably underrated and compared him to Brett Hull, a Hockey Hall of Famer.
"I coached against him (as a Montreal assistant) and I didn't realize it as much," Muller said of Semin. "He might be our top playmaker on our team.
"He reminds me of Brett Hull. Everybody said he was an 80-goal scorer, or 70, but Brett really loved to make plays and was a way better playmaker than people realized and that I didn't realize until I played with him."
Muller also said there are other aspects of Semin's game that has been something of a surprise.
"His puck strength," Muller said. "His puck strength, and I know now why he's a plus player -- he reads the game pretty good.
"He's not your typical guy when you say he's a defensive forward, but he understands the game, he's smart player and he reads it well enough to put himself in the right position a lot of times and he out-thinks his opponent. The part I didn't realize is how smart a hockey player he is."
Had the Canes not lost the game to the Jets 4-3, Semin might have talked about the pass, about his season. As it was, he politely declined Friday. Maybe another day.

POSSUM KINGDOM LAKE – Divers from the Brazos River Authority and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department recovered the body of 27-year-old Lindsey Culver, of Lubbock, in 25-to-30-feet of water in the Hells Gate Cove area.
Searchers found her body using side-scan sonar, and recovered her at 2:24 p.m. The Justice of the Peace Shawn Humphries made a positive identification of the woman, who was discovered missing at 9:30 p.m., Saturday, just minutes before the Hells Gate fireworks show was supposed to begin, according to BRA spokesperson Judi Pierce.
BRA Rangers immediately arrived on the scene and halted, and ultimately cancelled, the fireworks display. Search crews worked until 2 a.m., Sunday, and resumed their search at 8 a.m.
Drowning has tentatively been listed as the cause of death, according to a press release issued this afternoon. Humphries has ordered an autopsy be conducted by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office.
Pierce said details of what led up to Culver's disappearance were "extremely sketchy" at this point.
After divers finished at Hells Gate, they were dispatched to Sandy Beach after a call came in for a missing 3-year-old boy. BRA divers went directly to Sandy Beach and found and rescued the boy who was reportedly under water. A BRA spokesperson said the boy was taken to PPGH and the child was thought to be from Graham.

Online Certificate in Medical Office Assistant Specialist
Here is a program designed to help students take the first step toward a new career as one of several types of medical assistants. Also known as a medical administrative assistant or medical assistant, a medical office assistant performs a wide range of duties that are imperative to the smooth operation of a variety of medical offices. Medical assistant duties can include updating patient files, filling out insurance forms, coordinating laboratory services, answering phones, ordering and maintaining medical supplies and equipment, and more. You might also receive on-the-job medical office technology training. As the healthcare industry continues to expand, so does the need for medical assistants. Many doctor's offices have become such complex operations that they increasingly rely upon the work of a medical administrative assistant who performs a number of critical tasks.
As part and parcel of entering the allied health field, students training to become medical office assistants must master the language used in a medical environment. Indeed, common medical terminology is a critical part of the language used by health care practitioners. It is essentially a vocabulary that requires a uniform pronunciation, definition, and spelling of terms used by professionals across a wide swath of medical offices and organizations. Individuals with medical terminology training are capable of analyzing and interpreting medical reports related to specific body systems. That is why we stress the importance of medical terminology in the curriculum.
The Medical Office Assistant Specialist Program is appropriate for adults looking to learn new job skills, refresh or refine existing healthcare knowledge, or improve occupational performance by possessing a better understanding of medical terms. Upon successful completion of our Medical Office Assistant course, students will be prepared for an entry-level position in a medical office setting and will be prepared to sit for the NHA national certification exam to become a Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA).
Why Online Learning?
- Learning occurs in a user-friendly environment and is accessible to students with little or no computer experience
- Online courses provide the knowledge and tools needed to stay ahead in today's rapidly changing professional marketplace
- Online education allows students to access their courses from anywhere there is an Internet connection, even while traveling for business or on vacation
- Flexibility: Students can attend class in the comfort and convenience of their own home, office, library, or internet café, and complete assignments at their convenience
- Cost-effective: expenses related to facilities and travel, as well as non-productive time, are reduced
- Relevant: Since so much of the work done by medical transcription editors is conducted in an online environment, this method of study is highly relevant to the profession.
The online delivery of the program requires that students have access to a computer and are proficient at using e-mail, communicating online, participating in discussion groups and conducting online research. The online format ensures that students have the most current information in the field available to them as they learn the skills needed to succeed in today's increasingly specialized medical office assistant profession.

I think glover beats bader, but I don't think that warrants a tile shot. After that give him whoever is ranked #2 and make it a number one contender fight. Im not sold on wins over rampage and bader warranting a title shot imho
I had high hopes for Bader,but it seems he isn't living up to his potential. I think Glover picks him apart on the feet and defends the TD well. But I still wouldn't sleep on Bader,if he comes in hungry and aggressive,he could pressure Glover up against the cage and get the takedown and smoother him for 3rds.
Should be a good fight either way.

After reading the title, I was prepared to be annoyed by another fighter demanding a title shot, but Glover is classy and patient as always. Seems like a great guy. I don't know if he can beat Jones, but that's not really a knock on anyone. Would love to see that fight soon.
Because there is no way Goose wins, Mr. Plague
I've been aboard the Glovercoaster for about five years, I'm a believer that he's going to win the championship.
Glover will be the champ when he takes the belt away from Gustafsson. Because THAT'S what's gonna happen. !BOOM!
UFC Fight Night 28's Glover Teixeira sets target date for desired title shot
"Thank God, everything has worked out for the best," Teixeira told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "I've trained hard, and today I'm nearing my goal. I'm very thankful that I've gotten this far in two years without any serious injury. Mostly, it's been all hard training sessions."
Wednesday's event, which airs on FOX Sports 1 following a prelim on Facebook, takes place at Mineirinho Arena in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Teixeira hails from Minas Gerais, and he's been featured prominently in the buildup to the fight.
Does the hometown-hero role come with pressure?
"I'm feeling happy," he said. "There's a little pressure because it's the main event, but I'm very happy to see a dream come true. I've always dreamed of winning in the UFC. To be in the main event in the UFC is already a materialization of my dreams. I'm very excited about this. I hope to put on a great performance."
Since signing with the UFC, Teixeira has extended his current winning streak to 19 fights (with 17 stoppages). In the UFC, he's faced and defeated increasingly tougher competition, starting with Kyle Kingsbury and moving on to Fabio Maldonado, Quinton Jackson and James Te Huna. Even reigning champion and pound-for-pound notable Jon Jones has pegged him as a worthy opponent. That makes a win over Bader all the more important. But despite the recent Brazil vs. the world theme of the UFC's cards in the South American country, Teixeira doesn't necessarily see it that way.
"I have great Brazilian friends and also great American friends," said the fighter, who's trained throughout the U.S. in recent years. "Of course I'm from Brazil, and I want to win for Brazil. That's undeniable. Brazil is in my heart, and I know the suffering and sacrifice of the Brazilian people.
"At the some time, I have great American friends whom I'd rather not see face my Brazilian friends, though if it happens in the future, there's nothing I can do about it. That's the sport we're in."
Bader, a two-time NCAA Division I All-American wrestler who's added solid striking skills to his game, provides Teixeira one of his toughest tests yet. The bout, which initially was targeted for UFC 160 before Bader suffered an injury, is a stiff challenge for the title hopeful.
"He's a difficult opponent with great wrestling," Teixeira said. "I think he'll attempt to impose his wrestling since that's his strong suit. But his knockout power and submission ability cannot be ignored. He doesn't have a wide variety of submissions, but they are strong submissions. I think he's a great athlete, and I think it will be a great fight. Our styles match up well and it will be a good fight for the fans."
And if victorious?
"Every victory brings me a step closer to the belt," he said. "I'm confident I'll have an excellent performance. Hopefully I can contend for the belt in 2014."

According to a recent Gallup poll, public approval ratings for the U.S. Congress have plummeted to an all-time record low of 11 percent. The Washington Post did a fascinating — but somewhat scary — compilation this week of some of the other people and things Americans have found to be at least as popular as the U.S. Congress. It's a bit alarming to see so many things that most people find downright repugnant now surpass Congress in popularity, but given its performance of late, it comes as no surprise.
Here's a short synopsis:
- Polygamy — At 11 percent approval among Americans, polygamy enjoys about the same level of popular support as today's Congress. That is a bit sobering.
- BP's handling of the Gulf oil spill — 13 percent approval in June 2010, in the aftermath of one of the worst environmental disasters in history.
- Paris Hilton — 15 percent approval. Really? Who can explain such things? Perhaps if we had more coverage of Congress in the tabloids, that might boost their ratings at least this high (or perhaps not).
- Human Cloning — 17 percent of Americans support cloning of humans for scientific purposes. I suppose that's fine, as long as no one suggests cloning Members of Congress. That would be really bad.
- George W. Bush at the low-point of his popularity — 23 percent approval, more than twice as high as Congress today, and that was in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, from which we are still trying to recover.
- Richard Nixon's approval rating just before his resignation in 1974 — 24 percent approval, and that was in the midst of the Watergate scandal, which was enough to prompt a major reform campaign.
- "Caning" to discipline teens — 36 percent support, in a poll taken not long after the 1994 controversy over the caning of an American teenager in Singapore. Hey, that gives me an idea: What if we "caned" Members of Congress every time they failed to produce a balanced budget, or insulted our intelligence with some ridiculous new policy? Now we're getting somewhere.
The one bright spot: Congress is more popular among Americans than one prominent world leader: Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. The South American dictator had only a 9 percent approval rating in 2007, two points lower than this Congress today. There, we finally found someone we like less. I feel better, don't you?
Let's face it, when you reach the point where nine out of ten Americans are basically disgusted with your performance, and your approval ratings are less than half what Richard Nixon's were, it's time to ask some fundamental questions about what you're doing and how you're doing it. How much more of a wake-up call do you need?
The reasons for this appalling level of contempt for Congress are pretty clear. Partisan gridlock, ideological posturing and special interest pressures have driven the public will right out of the equation, and everyone knows it. As a result, decisions become irrational and often lack common sense, or nothing gets done at all. When was the last time we actually passed a budget?
It doesn't have to be this way.
The fact that Americans had higher regard for BP's handling of the Gulf oil spill than for the job Congress is doing handling the nation's affairs is a pretty sobering indictment, but Americans' perceptions are correct. The train is off the tracks, the chickens have come home to roost, Elvis has left the building. You get the picture. We are a nation adrift, and we need strong corrective action.
Maybe it's time we started paying a lot more attention to the health of our democracy, the sorry state of our public discourse, the dysfunction of key institutions like the U.S. Congress, the news media, and our current approach to public engagement, and start doing something to fix it. As citizens of this country, that's our job.
What do you think would improve the workings of Congress and our political system in general? Let's hear from you.

NH GOP star shines for national media after her candidacy greeted with 'sexist smear'
"Bill O'Brien + Kim Kardashian = Marilinda Garcia"
"She is a right-wing, homophobic, anti-worker shill for the Koch Brothers."
The posts began a partisan war of words for a brief time on Twitter, and Garcia said in a statement, "To me, the most unfortunate byproducts of such personal attacks, negativity and vitriol are that they discourage good people from getting involved in politics, cause citizens to be disgusted at the political process, and tarnish the reputations of all elected officials just by virtue of association."
Garcia is a Boston native of Italian/Hispanic descent who has lived in Salem since childhood.
"I was just attacked by the National Review. My life is truly complete."
He wrote that Fund "is smitten with Miss Marilinda, and is butthurt that the mainstream media hasn't sufficiently hounded me."
"Yeah, I said it, and I stand by it. The comparison is accurate. Garcia is a creepy pseudo-Christian right-wing extremist who gets a free pass because she doesn't look the part."

Underwater cache
From Cacheopedia
An Underwater Cache is a cache where the container is completely submerged in water, and requires either swimming or boating out to the cache and reaching underwater to retrieve it. Underwater caches may range from just a few feet underwater to deep enough that full SCUBA gear is required to reach it.
This differs from hydrocaching in that the cache is underwater, as opposed to being on land, but having to cross water to reach it.

It was a Sunday afternoon and I found myself clipping coupons from the Sunday paper. As I milled through the stack of advertisements, I came across a coupon for a Tom's of Maine antiperspirant. I am a big fan of Tom's of Maine deodorant. As a brand, I feel like I can trust any one of their products I pick up off the shelf.
For my own personal reasons, I chose not to use a product that contains aluminum. When I came across the antiperspirant AD, my first thought was they found a plant that will prevent you from sweating. I was intrigued. That afternoon, I drove over to a local pharmacy and there it was, sitting next to the deodorants. I removed it from the shelf, turned over the product and staring at me was the word "aluminum."
It didn't seem right to me — a company who portrays themselves as natural would offer a product with aluminum. I don't mean to pick on Tom's of Maine; I am still a consumer of theirs. But I have learned over recent years that you can never trust a label. You must read the ingredients every time you purchase the product, because they may change.
How did aluminum get in there?
Susan Dewhirst, the public relations and goodness manager for Tom's of Maine, said they used to carry an anti-perspirant in a roll-on form.
"When we discontinued the anti-perspirant roll-on we really made some of our consumers unhappy. We were very happy to make a stick that met all of our stewardship models," Dewhirst said.
In the U.S., cosmetics are regulated under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. However, not all personal-care products are regulated as cosmetics under this law. Products intended to cleanse the body or promote attractiveness are regulated as cosmetics. If, however, they are intended to affect the structure or function of the body or if their intended use is for a therapeutic purpose, they are regulated as drugs.
According to the FDA, deodorants, which are intended to mask body odor or impart a more pleasant aroma to the body, are regulated as cosmetics. Cosmetic products and ingredients are not subject to premarket approval by FDA, with the exception of color additives and several ingredients restricted or prohibited by regulation. With those exceptions, cosmetic firms may use any ingredient, provided it is safe under labeled or customary conditions of use.
Aluminum-containing ingredients are used in cosmetic products registered with the FDA's Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program for various functional purposes in cosmetic formulations, such as anti-caking agents and to improve formulation stability; they are sometimes also used as cosmetic astringent or deodorant ingredients.
Is aluminum bad
for you?
Since the 1960s there have been numerous studies linking aluminum with Alzheimer's disease. The studies found that there were high levels of aluminum found in the brain of those diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Though, the aluminum itself could not be found as the cause of Alzheimer's.
"Connections to Alzheimer's have been around for a number of years. Nothing has been definitive," said Pam Scheeler, stewardship manager for Tom's of Maine. "Aluminum is widely prevalent. Any individual is being exposed to aluminum from a variety of different routes from the foods that you eat, potentially the cookware used to prepare those foods, as well as personal care products, as well as other products you encounter in your day-to-day activities."
Some products that contain aluminum:
n anti-perspirants,
n many body lotions and creams,
n most cosmetics,
n shampoos and conditioners,
n soaps,
n suntan lotions, and
n lip balm.
The FDA says it does not have sound scientific information indicating that aluminum compounds, as used in cosmetics, present a health risk to consumers. The FDA has not prohibited or restricted the use of aluminum compounds in cosmetics. Additionally, several aluminum compounds have undergone safety assessment by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review and were found safe, as currently used in cosmetics. The CIR is an industry funded panel of medical, toxicological and chemistry experts that meets quarterly to conduct safety assessments of cosmetic ingredients. The FDA participates in the CIR on a non-voting liaison basis and may or may not agree with CIR assessments.
Antiperspirants are regulated as over-the counter drugs because of their effect on the function of the sweat glands. Products intended both as deodorants and antiperspirants must meet the requirements for both cosmetics and drugs.
The FDA says aluminum chlorohydrate and other similar "active pharmaceutical ingredients" are most commonly intended for use as antiperspirant "active ingredients" and thus are subject to regulation under the applicable OTC Drug Monograph for Human Use.
"Almost any material can be purified and presented in different grades. If you are putting it into an over-the-counter drug product it is the highest purity of the material available. The United States Pharmacopeia has purity requirements for all over-the-counter drugs. The material is purified to meet those standards, so you are not getting levels of other impurities in the end products," Scheeler said.
The active ingredient of antiperspirant consists of any of the following within the established concentration and dosage formulation. Where applicable, the ingredient must meet the aluminum to chloride, aluminum to zirconium and aluminum plus zirconium to chloride atomic ratios described in the U.S. Pharmacopeia-National Formulary.
n Aluminum chloride up to 15 percent, calculated on the hexahydrate form, in an aqueous solution nonaerosol dosage form.
n Aluminum chlorohydrate up to 25 percent.
n Aluminum chlorohydrex polyethylene glycol up to 25 percent.
n Aluminum chlorohydrex propylene glycol up to 25 percent.
n Aluminum dichlorohydrate up to 25 percent.
n Aluminum dichlorohydrex polyethylene glycol up to 25 percent.
n Aluminum dichlorohydrex propylene glycol up to 25 percent.
n Aluminum sesquichlorohydrate up to 25 percent.
n Aluminum sesquichlorohydrex polyethylene glycol up to 25 percent.
n Aluminum sesquichlorohydrex propylene glycol up to 25 percent.
n Aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrate up to 20 percent.
n Aluminum zirconium octachlorohydrex gly up to 20 percent.
n Aluminum zirconium pentachlorohydrate up to 20 percent.
n Aluminum zirconium pentachlorohydrex gly up to 20 percent.
n Aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrate up to 20 percent.
n Aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly up to 20 percent.
n Aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrate up to 20 percent.
n Aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrex gly up to 20 percent.
Where do we go from here?
Tom's of Maine is very transparent in what it puts in its products, from using recycled aluminum to providing paraben-free products. It posts all of its product information on its website.
"There is a lot of information out there on why or why they might be bad. We would encourage consumers to go out and read that information and decide for themselves," Scheeler said.
For me, the next time I need to buy a stick of deodorant I just need to take an extra minute and carefully choose the one that is right for my principles.

Solve the system of equations to find the values of x, y and z: xy/(x+y)=1/2, yz/(y+z)=1/3, zx/(z+x)=1/7
If all the faces of a tetrahedron have the same perimeter then show that they are all congruent.
A group of 20 people pay a total of £20 to see an exhibition. The admission price is £3 for men, £2 for women and 50p for children. How many men, women and children are there in the group?
This problem provides a good challenge in reasoning working with multiple unknowns. There are issues of redundancy to think about in the provision of too much information.
This is a pre-algebra task that can introduce students to the sort of manipulations that can be used to solve simultaneous equations.
Show the grid below, or hand out this worksheet, or display this PowerPoint slide.
"Each symbol has a numerical value. The total for the symbols is written at the end of each row and column."
"This is a really interesting problem because it can be solved in lots of different ways. Can you find the missing total that should go where the question mark has been put?"
"Can you find more than one way to do it?"
After everyone has spent a few minutes on the problem, hand out this worksheet, containing eight different ways of starting to solve the problem.
"Here are the first few lines of the solutions found by some friends working on this problem. Can you complete their solutions?"
You may choose to give all students all eight solutions, or share them out so different groups work on different solutions.
"In a while, I'm going to invite you up to the board to present your favourite method as a completed solution, so be ready to explain every part of your thinking clearly, and to justify why it is your preferred approach."
Here are some prompts that could be offered to students working on the different approaches if they get stuck:
"If you could work out the value of the square/hexagon/circle/triangle, how could you then work out the value of the triangle/circle/hexagon/square?"
"What can you deduce by comparing the bottom two rows?"
For the trial and improvement methods: "If this one didn't work, what value does it make sense to try next?"
Finish off by inviting students to the board to share the completed methods, together with any other methods they thought of for themselves.
The same techniques can be applied to some follow-up tasks. This spreadsheet can be used to generate other versions of the same problem. Here are some grids that could be printed off for students to annotate with the new values.
Here are another three problems that can be solved using similar strategies:
Using the spreadsheet, can students work out how much information is necessary to solve the problems uniquely, and identify redundant information?
Students could work in pairs to make sense of the different methods. The trial and improvement methods (1 and 5) are perhaps the most accessible starting point.

Our Approach to Philanthropy
The Wallace Foundation strives to improve children's lives and prospects by tackling large public problems, such as the inadequacy of public education in U.S. cities. We develop ideas for possible solutions and give grants to organizations to help them put the ideas to the test. Equally important, we fund independent research about our work, then share it widely to inform policymakers and others in a position to make beneficial change.
Our approach has two main parts:
We introduced this approach in 2000, after a detailed assessment of Wallace's first decade as a national foundation in the 1990s concluded that although the foundation had achieved some notable successes, it had not spurred as much lasting change as one might have wished. "We decided to take a more systemic view of the areas in which we were working and engage directly with people who had power and authority to make more sustainable, widespread change," M. Christine DeVita, Wallace's founding president, has written.
Our signature phrase – "Supporting ideas. Sharing solutions. Expanding opportunities." – encapsulates how we work today. We support innovative ideas and share lessons from them that can help institutions, governments and nonprofits expand opportunities. This approach is described in Creative Philanthropy, in which scholars Helmut K. Anheier and Diana Leat argue that foundations have a unique but often untapped capacity to develop useful innovations and encourage those ideas to spread. (Wallace is profiled in the book.) The money we have is minuscule compared to the public sectors we are trying to influence; we believe our approach stretches our philanthropic dollar, giving Wallace an impact far greater than the sum of our individual grants – that is, an ability to help many more children than we could reach otherwise.
How This Approach Affects:
Our grant-givingWe generally do not fund "over the transom" requests for grants. Instead, we determine which nonprofits and government agencies might have the interest in and ability to carry out our projects. We invite them to submit proposals for how they would do the work we envision and then choose grantees from that group. The possible solutions our grantees test generally require careful, detailed planning, the cooperation of many institutions, and time to unfold and be properly evaluated. Therefore, Wallace's grants are generally larger than those issued by similar foundations (a median size of about $1 million compared with $150,000 at 10 "peer" foundations) and last longer (an average 3.5 years, compared with 2.1 years for other large foundations). Read more about how we design our initiatives ›.
Our communicationsTo disseminate the ideas and information we are gathering, Wallace engages in a number of different types of communications. All our publications are free and downloadable from our Web site. We support professional organizations in our fields of interest, so they can convey our ideas to their members. We also conduct briefings and conferences, hold webinars and make numerous presentations.
Our work with granteesBecause grantees are the linchpin of our efforts, we conduct periodic grantee surveys to see if we are working effectively with them and to make corrections if we are not. We also often provide grantees with support apart from the grant, including the expertise of consultants and membership in a "learning community" where grantees share experiences and learn from one another and guest experts. Read more about how we work with grantees ›
Our responsibility to the publicOur belief in the open exchange of information applies to more than grant-making. We take seriously our responsibility to use philanthropic funds wisely and to let the public know how we are doing this. In 2010, Wallace joined the Glasspockets initiative to encourage "transparency" in philanthropy. Through Glasspockets, Wallace discloses, among other things, whether and how it makes available online information about each of 23 aspects of its operations, from conflict of interest policies to assessments of foundation performance.
Since 1989, The Wallace Foundation and its predecessors have supported a variety of organizations that serve the foundation and nonprofit sectors. This funding – some $16 million – has gone to efforts to strengthen how philanthropy is carried out in the United States.

If you've been following us on Twitter or Facebook, you'll know that the half-marathon and 10K sold out in record time again this year. And it looks like the 5K (90% sold out) and Marathon (almost 96% sold out) won't be far behind. So if you've made a resolution to run your first race this year, or to run faster or farther than before, now is the time to get registered. Secure your place on the starting line here.
Note: For those who missed out signing up for the half-marathon, there are a limited number of Charity Half-Marathon Registrations available through the Ottawa Hospital. These special registrations include a donation to the Hospital. Find out more here.
You can also support The Ottawa Hospital by Running for a Reason. Keep reading to find out more.
We know you love the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend. We also hope you love The Ottawa Hospital. After all, one in two Ottawans will be touched by the Hospital in 2013.On May 25 and 26, 2013, don't just run, Run for a Reason. When you run or walk in support of The Ottawa Hospital, lacing up means more than crossing the finish line in the marathon, half-marathon, 10K, 5K or 2K – it means making a difference in the life of someone that you know.
Last year, more than 2,640 dedicated runners and 48 teams raised over $545,000 for the Hospital, supporting areas that matter most to them, including cancer research, clinical trials, the neonatal intensive care unit and The Ottawa Hospital Breast Health Centre, just to name a few. That's a $9 million difference since 1998.
So as you train for the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend 2013, ask yourself: What do you love? Then commit to making a difference and Run for a Reason.
Here's a riddle for you. What single event is both the longest and the shortest race at the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend?
Answer: the Y Kids Marathon, an inspiring event that encourages kids to make physical activity a fun and regular part of daily life.
Leading up to race day, children track physical activities that count as "kilometers" towards completing all 42.2 km of a marathon. Then, on Sunday May 26, they complete the last 1.2 kms of their marathon by participating in a special kids-only race at the Tamarack Ottawa Race Weekend. So it is both the longest (taking several weeks to finish) and the shortest (being 1.2 km on race day) of all the events!

As I talked about earlier today, the Bisons are advertising a "major event announcement" as part of Friday's sold-out Winter Hot Stove Luncheon in the Adam's Mark. The last time something like that came down, it was for the 1987 exhibition game between the Blue Jays and Indians that was played through the freezing rain of War Memorial Stadium. The media was furious because then-GM Mike Billoni billed it as "a major announcement for the future of Buffalo baseball" and folks thought Bob Rich Jr. had purchased the Expos or some other team. Buffalo has never had another major-league April exhibition since and probably with good reason. You might ruin your field for a month or more trying to play one.
I have no official confirmation of what's up but International League president Randy Mobley will be in town tomorrow so I'm fairly certain the word is this: Buffalo is going to be named the host of the 2012 Triple-A All-Star Game. It would make sense because 2012 will be the 25th anniversary season for Coca-Cola Field and for the Triple-A version of the Midsummer Classic. Then-Pilot Field, remember, staged the first game on July 13, 1988 before a sellout crowd of 19,500. The IL hosts this year (Lehigh Valley) and the Pacific Coast League has next year in Salt Lake City so 2012 comes back to an IL park.
The game is broadcast every year on ESPN and a national network of radio stations and is held the day after the big-league game. In this case, you're looking at July 11, 2012, the night after the big leaguers play in Kansas City. But unlike 1988, this event has grown into a huge spectacle thanks to great hosting jobs in recent years by cities such as Rochester, Indianapolis and Portland. There's a home run hitting contest on Monday and a gala luncheon on game day.
You'll see the top prospects from around Triple-A meeting in an IL vs. PCL format and it will be a great show. I'm betting pretty solid that's what the announcement will be. Keep it locked at buffalonews.com Friday afternoon when the official word comes down.

Comments about Neff Thunder Polarized Sunglasses - black woodgrain:
Needed a nice pair of polarized lenses after I lost my arnette's. I love the wood-grain look of these sunglasses. Lots of people have noticed and complimented that detail after a few minutes of conversation. I like that it's a subtle but stylish and different look than most.
