The student staff of the Red and Black, the acclaimed University of Georgia student-run newspaper, walked out en masse Wednesday to protest what the student journalists consider intrusive oversight of what had been one of the nation's most well known independent campus publications.
Expect a lot of news coverage as many Atlanta journalists worked at the Red & Black while students at UGA. Please keep in mind that the newspaper is an independent, non-profit enterprise that supports itself largely through ad sales. It is not under UGA or President Michael Adams and receives no direct university support. That independence has given it far greater freedom over the years to criticize the university and its policies.
The Red & Black publisher Harry Montevideo has responded to student charges that their role was being minimized and that the board was giving more powers to non journalists to dictate content and that the focus was shifting from "news" to "good news." He says:
"The Red and Black has always championed the best interest of student journalists. Core to our mission is providing the best possible training and experience which mirrors the real world. The changes occurring here reflect an ongoing commitment for the Red & Black Publishing Company, Inc to continue to offer a news product which is relevant for and accessible to our audience as we also train student journalists for futures in a rapidly changing world of news delivery beyond our traditional print format. There will be a quality student newspaper in our racks tomorrow, as there will be next week and the week after.
In a letter on a new blog, Red & Dead, former editor Polina Marinova explains:
The Red & Black's top editors, design staff, photo staff and reporters walked out of the newspaper building this afternoon.
The Red & Black has covered the University of Georgia community since 1893 and has been independent of the University since 1980. The newspaper has always been a student-run operation, but recently we began feeling serious pressure from people who were not students. In less than a month, The Red & Black has hired more than 10 permanent staff with veto power over students' decisions.
In a draft outlining the "expectations of editorial director at The Red & Black," a member of The Red & Black's Board of Directors stated the newspaper needs a balance of good and bad. Under "Bad," it says, "Content that catches people or organizations doing bad things. I guess this is 'journalism.' If in question, have more GOOD than BAD."
I took great offense to that, but the board member just told me this is simply a draft. But one thing that would not change is that the former editorial adviser, now the editorial director, would see all content before it is published online and in print. For years, students have had final approval of the paper followed by a critique by the adviser only after articles were published. However, from now on, that will not be the case. Recently, editors have felt pressure to assign stories they didn't agree with, take "grip and grin" photos and compromise the design of the paper.
But what's most alarming to me is that there was no input from The Red & Black student staff about any of these changes. I was doing an internship this summer, and I did not receive any materials related to these changes until I emailed the board member about it.
Even then, nothing was solidified, and I still do not even know what the print product will look like in a week. I've worked at this paper since I was a freshman and held multiple leadership positions. This semester, we have a really talented, smart and dedicated staff that had no voice in these changes. It all came from the top, not from the students.
The Red & Black has always been the best experience for student journalists. It's no longer a place where lessons can be learned without "serious repercussions." We don't believe that is a learning environment.
As the former editor-in-chief, I stood by my editors and staff 100 percent, and what I found out today was that we all stood together.
You can read more about the controversy on this Facebook page for Red & Black alums, many of whom work in Atlanta media. You can also read more about today's events at the Athens Banner-Herald.

Under "Bad," it says, "Content that catches people or organizations doing bad things. I guess this is 'journalism.' If in question, have more GOOD than BAD."

Mareen, is it fair to say that UGA's Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication has become a DISGRACE to good journalism with their actions in this matter?
August 16th, 2012
2:06 am
Prior restraint, huh? I am not sure that Henry W. Grady would be proud of the decision to come down upon a free press, even if it does have ties to the University. Grady was a pretty free-spirited journalist with his pen. He came down to Atlanta from Rome, Georgia at age 22 to become the Editor of The Atlanta Daily Herald, a very "sprightly" journal, as it has been called. My great, great grandfather, Robert A. Alston, was the publisher, and he and Grady often fretted how to keep it going and free and independent, even mortgaging Grady's mother's home on Prince Avenue in Athens. But, my point is that they wanted to keep the newspaper free and independent. A newspaper that is not free is not really part of the Fourth Estate.

Here are the names of the board as listed on the Red and Black website…. Are there any working journalists among them? My Google search was not exhaustive but I see one retired journalist and it looks like at least three are on the business, non-editorial side of media — not journalists. Perhaps AJC reporters can poll the group to see whether they voted on this and who supported the takeover and who did not:
Elliott Brack, President, Chairman of the Board, Norcross, GA
Melita Easters, Vice President, Atlanta, Georgia
Chris Stone, Secretary, Nolensville, Tennessee

@ BehindEnemyLines
I think the argument can be made that they should not have walked
out, but the students did have a responsibility to fight for professional
standards of journalism since they are in training to be future journalist.
A similar incident happened with a newspaper in Santa Barbara,California
where reporters complained to the National Labor Relations Board about
accusing the owner of exercising excessive oversight and retaliation toward

Good riddance to the staff! If they call themselves journalists, then I MUST be a genius. During the first month of attendance at UGA I picked up a copy of Red & Black, only to see their front page news was how to become a sugar baby. REALLY?! Of course, I'm sure the "nail in their coffin" was a supposed tongue & cheek piece about how to catch a husband while attending UGA. This young lady managed to catch the spotlight nationally while fending off attacks from both demographics. Yeah, journalism at its best….You won't see me shedding a single tear over their departure or the lack of this "newspaper".

The original break from the University happened in 1980 because of exactly the same thing: censorship by the controlling editors (then it was the University). Ever heard of the term "free press". Guess not.

This is a battle that has been fought before. You'd think we have this settled. The job of the R and B is to report all things of interest. The president's office has PR staff to provide all the bright and shinies.
To those who say they should just follow the boss' orders–this is why we have a free press!
August 16th, 2012

Check out the Red and Black website "About Us" link for the names of the non-student board members who apparently sanctioned this takeover. Most of them are not journalists.
August 16th, 2012
8:33 am
Mountain Man @ 6:35 is right. The R&B separated from the university in 1980. The R&B is a corporation, and this is a dispute between the student staff and their corporate board, which has installed non-student management (contrary to the spirit and mission of a student newspaper, in my view). This has nothing to do with UGA, the president or the journalism school.
August 16th, 2012
8:36 am
So how does this problem get resolved. Do the students now go back to work having won no concessions, or do the editors and permanent staff fully take over and start writing the articles?
August 16th, 2012

[...] Did you expect better than this from a draft memo written by one of the new overseers of the newspaper? In a draft outlining the "expectations of editorial director at The Red & Black," a member of The Red & Black's Board of Directors stated the newspaper needs a balance of good and bad.

Newschick, Melita Easters began working for the AJC in 1979, with the DeKalb Extra. Her desk was in front of mine. I don't think she was there for more than a couple of years. Alexis Scott worked in various editorial and management positions for years, and was highly regarded. A Ron Lane was a teacher in the journalism school when I was there (1967-71), and if it's the same guy he'd have to be well into his 70s.
August 16th, 2012
9:35 am
what likely happened…
Adams and Co started not liking what they saw in R&B. an envoy from the PR office went over and had a meeting with management, where management was informed in a very round about way that UGA does lots of business with advertisers who support R&B.
the rest is pretty simple.
Adams and Co don't seem like the kind who would shy away from intimidation.

Good lesson for the Kiddies who walked out … they can make their point so well from the sidewalk … good lesson that "change" can only be made for working from the "inside".

Howard Finkelstein: Expelled? For what reason? The R&B is not part of the university, it is an independent, non-profit newspaper. You sound like a good little NAZI, just do your job and shut up, who needs ethics, right?

BehindEnemyLines : What the hell are you talking about? This is not a paid gig and the board is not supposed to be their "bosses". Otherwise what you said . . . still really does not make any sense.
bootney farnsworth: exactly right. The comment about requiring "grip and grin" photos and stories says it all. The University is trying to turn the venerable R&B into a propaganda tool for the Administration.

The publication has gone down the tubes recently anyways. The anti-greek opinion pieces and 150 word arrest reports about freshmen who get arrested for underage possession, I have a hard time really feeling sorry for their lack of "journalistic" (and I use that word very loosely) freedom.

having just read the memo redweather posted, the meat of it is in a small line about balancing good & bad. this is screaming code for spinning the news in the direction UGA / Adams wants it to go.
not being a UGA alum, I've rarely read the R&B, but I can make some guesses; unflattering stories -about the football team
-about Adams heavy handedness
-crime stats UGA doesn't want public
-the heavy handed, Rambo like behavior of the Athens police
-student binge drinking
-not having the "proper" racial balance in stories and photos
-rampant wasteful spending by Adams on pet projects
-examples of how monies which should be spend on education were spent everywhere but

I am not sure we have any "true" journalists anymore that report the real news and gives us all the facts by which we can form our own opinions. Whether in print or on television, it appears that the so-called journalists pick and choose the facts to fit their own bias if they report the story at all.

here's what happens in real life
drive off your best and brightest and (as a whole) land on their feet. usually in a better situation.
and with an ax to grind with the idiots who created the issue in the first place.
"ownership" ends up with the least talented, least qualified, least motivate, but biggest rear kissers who (as a whole) do inferior work with much less passion or motivation. quality goes down, reputation goes down, clientele go down.

Aldabra giant tortoises or geochelone gigantea belong to the testudinidae family. They live only in the Aldabra atoll, in Seychelles. However, humans moved some of them to Zanzibar, in Tanzania.
They are the biggest tortoises in the world after the Galapagos giant tortoises. They can be more than three feet long. Males can reach a weight of 550 pounds, while females hardly weigh 330 pounds. As other tortoises, these animals get to live 100 years.
They have a black or dark-grey dome-shaped shell. Their limbs are very strong, which is necessary for them to support their tremendous weight. Their neck is disproportionately long even when we are talking about a very big animal. They use it to reach the low branches of the trees located three feet up from the floor.
Cabecera h2
Suspendisse elementum, est vel fringilla eleifend, dui nisl tristique elit, nec consequat libero massa in velit. Nullam ultrices sodales erat, et tristique leo dignissim non.
These herbivorous tortoises usually eat weed, leaves and woody stems, but they also complete their diet with some invertebrates or carrion. When they are in captivity they eat fruits as apples or bananas, but they can be feed also with tablets containing basically fruits and other vegetables. Even if freshwater is abundant in their territories, they get most of the water they consume from what they eat. They are not afraid of humans and even eat from human hands.
Cabecera h4
Dui justo rutrum velit, viverra malesuada nisl massa ut augue. In at sem orci, et cursus mi.
Sexual maturity is determined by their size and not by their age. These tortoises are sexually mature when they reach the half or their final future size. Mating takes place between February and May. Females lay about 10-25 eggs from which 60% are not fertilised. Incubation takes 8 months and hatching takes place between October and November..

the Neolithic period and the Bronze Age. Then, in
the 9th century B.C., Cingoli's lands were inhabited
by the ancient Picene people. In 60 B.C. Cingoli was
fortified as an official Roman town by Titus Labienus,
a native son of the city and lieutenant to Julius
Caesar in his Gallic wars. It became a free city-state
(a "comune", the word still used to denote

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - The owner of a recently closed Arizona comedy club who was reported missing by his family last month has been found dead.
Authorities say the body of 60-year-old Mark William Anderson was discovered Wednesday in a hotel room in Buckeye, west of Phoenix.
Buckeye police say a hotel housekeeper found the body and it was identified as Anderson.
They say the cause and manner of death will be determined by the Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office.
The East Valley Tribune says Anderson checked into the hotel May 21.
He was reported missing May 15, three days after he reportedly left Oklahoma City to travel to Phoenix or Dallas to do business.
Anderson had homes in both Arizona and Oklahoma.
The Tempe Improv closed on June 1 after a 23-year run.

Since UP Academy took over the Gavin Middle School in South Boston in 2011, some critics of charter schools have questioned whether the academy has been pushing out disruptive or academically struggling pupils in order to boost its test scores.
During the inaugural year of the in-district charter school, 19 percent of its pupils, 109 to be precise, left UP Academy. But that rate is slightly lower than the average for all the city's middle schools, according to data compiled by the Boston School Department to dispel the notion that UP Academy is pushing out the worst pupils.

Motoman Robots Arc Welding
Truss Fabrication Equipment
Highly flexible, extended-reach robot system meets or exceeds all project goals and objectives. Conservatively speaking, robot system payback was less than six months. Production capacity increased from 20-25 per month to 6-7 per day, enabling customer to bring out-sourced production of 40 units per month back in-house. Flexible robots produce high-quality, consistent welds, significantly reducing scrap and rework. Reliable robot system helped customer reduce lead time from 20-24 weeks to 16 weeks. Customer anticipates further lead time reduction to eight weeks.
Project Challenges
- Robotically weld large assembly and fabrication tables that are 4.27-m L x 2.29-m W (14' L x 7.5' W) and weigh approximately 2,450 kg (5,400 lbs), as well as subassemblies that weigh 181.4-226.8 kg (400-500 lbs) each. Tables are mild steel 6.4-12.7 mm (0.25"-0.5") thick and each requires 660 single-pass welds, ranging from 25.4-152.4 mm (1" to 6") long.
- Improve safety and reduce high turnover due to manual welding in 100-degree plus heat during summertime.
- Provide flexible welding system that can accommodate a wide variety of models and subassemblies, and has capability to perform 85% of welding on large tables.
Motoman Robotics Solution
Motoman Robotics provided two MotoSweep™ cells, each including:
- Six-axis Motoman EA1900N "Expert Welding" robot with NX100 controller.
- MotoSweep transport beam. Robot is invert-mounted from MotoSweep transport beam and controlled by the NX100 as an external axis.
- Miller Auto-Axcess™ 450-Amp power source with air-cooled Motoman Tough Gun® 500-Amp torch. Robot welds using barrel-fed 0.035" steel wire with an 80/20 mix of Argon/CO2 shielding gas.
- Automatic wire cutter, nozzle cleaner and sprayer, and torch realignment device.
- Two stationary holding fixture tables, one per side of the robot cell.
- Operator station on stand-alone pedestal. Functions include: Job Start, Emergency Stop, Hold, Alarm Reset, and Servo Power-up. Palm button for cycle start activation. Ready signal light and alarm indication light. Thumbwheel switch for program selection (up to 100 programmed jobs) and manual jog joystick.
- Workcell protection package that meets ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999 safety standard, including safety fencing, light curtains, and safety-interlocked gates.
Fixtures/Tooling Details
Customer provided their own fixtures. Each MotoSweep cell has two stationary holding fixture tables, one per side. The robot can process the same type of parts on both sides or different parts can be run on opposite sides of the same robot cell. Parts are fixtured very tightly and concisely to ensure welded parts are square and flat.

When the history books are written about the great philosophers of this era rapper Juelz Santana is not likely going to be one of the first names listed.
Yet there was a lyric from one of Santana's songs on the back of Narragansett cross country coach Robert Shields' sweatshirt as he checked in on Marissa McPhillips after the sophomore Mariner had literally given it everything she had at Sunday's RI Girls State Championship.
"Hard work pays off, you get what you put in."
If anyone knows how true that is, it's McPhillips.
NARRAGANSETT – Just two steps remain in the road to perfection for the Narragansett girls volleyball team.
The upset was threatened briefly, but the top seeded Mariners overcame a slow start and eventually trounced the Central Falls Warriors 18-25, 25-17, 25-12, 25-16 in the Division II quarterfinals Tuesday night at the Narragansett Pier School.
CRANSTON — The No. 2 Coventry soccer team hadn't allowed more than two goals in any game this season.
In 18 destructive minutes Tuesday evening in the Division II semifinals at Cranston Stadium No. 3 Toll Gate hammered three goals past Coventry goalie Domenic Aguiar.
The Oakers finally settled the game down and found a lifeline in a goal from freshman Matt Buglio in the 36th minute, but the rampant Titans added a fourth goal just before halftime to advance to their first division final since 1990 with a 4-1 victory.
NORTH SCITUATE — Throughout the 2013 season the Coventry girls cross country team has battled adversity.
Down two of their top five runners in Jess Bellow and Courtney Grant, the Oakers didn't make excuses when it came to race day and each time put their best foot forward.
"It's definitely been tough mentally," junior Allison Bellows said. "Training this season our team has had a lot of injured girls go out but we also have a lot of girls that have stepped up this season and that's been pretty exciting to watch."
CRANSTON – On paper it was though they were two teams that could not have been more evenly matched.
Just one point separated the East Greenwich High School field hockey team from Moses Brown in the standings, the only difference EG's loss to Barrington to MB's tie. The Avs had the best offense in Division I and the second ranked defense, the Quakers third and first, respectively. Both of their games during the regular season ended as 1-1 draws.
NORTH SCITUATE—Make them earn it.
It was the mantra for the East Greenwich boys cross country team Sunday for the RI State Championships as the Avengers were fully aware of the depth and talent of both Hendricken and La Salle.
Just because the Hawks and Rams were heavily favored to duke it out for the state title Sunday didn't mean EG was going to roll out the red carpet for the two teams though as the Avs put up a strong fight at Ponaganset High School's Covered Bridge Trail.
EAST GREENWICH—The playoff window for the East Greenwich football team hasn't shut but the number of options for getting into the playoffs was limited by Friday night's 24-20 loss to Classical.
A win wouldn't have guaranteed the Avengers a spot but from here on out with game's against three teams – Middletown, Burrillville and Narragansett – each in playoff contention, victories are all but necessary.
"We can't afford to lose again," East Greenwich coach John George said, "or we'll be out."
PAWTUCKET—The East Greenwich girls volleyball team will be returning to the University of Rhode Island's Keaney Gymnasium this fall.
After opening the Division II playoff with a convincing sweep of Tiverton, the Avengers punched their ticket to URI with a 25-15, 25-18, 25-20 victory over Tolman on Tuesday.
"They came out strong tonight," EG coach Terri Garno said. "The first two sets we were up probably eight to 10 points from the get go."
After convincingly taking the first two games, the Avengers ran into a bit of trouble in the third as the Tigers built a 16-10 lead.
EAST GREENWICH—So far, it's been nearly all chalk in the Division I Girls Soccer Tournament.
Aside from No. 10 Cumberland beating No. 7 Kingstown in the opening round, every higher seed has held in D-I and Sunday No. 3 seed East Greenwich added itself as the last name to that list.
Senior Sarah Beaulieu's goal in the final 10 minutes made the difference as the Avengers held off a pesky Smithfield squad for a 2-1 win to advance to the D-I semifinals.
LINCOLN—Facing a top-seeded team is never an easy task but the East Greenwich boys soccer team was smelling an upset Saturday night against Lincoln in the quarterfinals of the Division II playoffs.
After beating defending-champ Classical four days prior in a shootout the Avengers once again found themselves in the same sudden-death situation against the Lions but this time it did not go in EG's favor as Lincoln survived for a 2-1 victory.
"We got unlucky I guess," East Greenwich senior Pat Lavan said.

February 7, 2012
Moving is a lot of work. And a do it yourself or DITY move is even more work. But the rewards of a DITY move are financial savings and flexibility that you won't get when you hire someone else to handle everything. So how do you know you are ready to take on a move yourself?
The first thing to look at is the calendar. It takes more coordination and planning to successfully carry out a DITY move than hiring a company to do everything. And if you do not have enough time to do everything, trying to move yourself can be disastrous. Make sure you have adequate time or it will end up costing you time, money and stress in the end when you have to call up last minute movers or help. The second thing to do is look at your budget. Know what you can and are willing to spend on your DITY move. That alone can dictate what you have to do and your motivation to do it. The next thing is to realistically map out what needs to be accomplished. After that, decide what you can physically do yourself and what you will need to have others do (and what you can afford to have others do). Lastly, make sure you have support. Your family needs to be on board when you are doing a DITY move, because they will being doing the work too. Enlist the help of friends and family who cannot only offer physical help, but moral support (babysitting, pet sitting, food, a place to stay, etc.)
A DITY move is a big commitment. But if you do it right, you will be rewarded with a much more cost effective move and the ability to do things your own way.

A firefighter and a 70-year-old woman were hospitalized after a fire broke out in Rogers Park Wednesday morning.
The firefighter suffered minor injuries, Fire Media Affairs said, and the woman had a shortness of breath. Both were transported to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston in "stable" but serious condition, Fire Media Affairs said.
The blaze erupted at a two-story building in the 6900 block of North Greenview Avenue about 5:10 a.m. and was extinguished just before 7 a.m., Fire Media Affairs said.
The fire was found in the basement and the first and second floors of the building.
About an hour after firefighters arrived at the building, the Chicago Fire Department ordered all residents to evacute the building due to unstable floors, Fire Media Affairs said.
Because of the fire, the Chicago Transit Authority's eastbound No. 96 Lunt and No. 155 Devon buses were rerouted to North Ashland Avenue, West Greenleaf Avenue and North Sheridan Road, according to an alert from the transit agency.
Further information was not immediately available.

(KDAL) - Both Minnesota U-S Senators, Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, have joined a bipartisan group of 38 other senators calling on President Obama to strengthen the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). The senators are concerned that funding for the program has declined 32 percent in recent years while the number of households eligible for the assistance has increased. Klobuchar says no family should have to face a choice between buying groceries and heating their home as winter weather sets in. They're asking the President to restore funding for the program to 4.7 billion dollars in his budget.

NoGii - Super Protein Bar Chocolate Peanut Butter Caramel Crisp - 3.36 oz. (94 g)
Elisabeth Hasselbeck's NoGii Chocolate Peanut Butter Caramel Crisp Super Protein Bar is a gluten-free solution for healthy families! The Super-Protein, All-Natural, No Gluten food solution. It goes where you go. Ultimate taste; high voltage, high-energy, and even higher protein to meet men's even higher nutritional demands. Exceed expectation with the fuel from NoGii.
NoGii Super Protein Bar Features:
Manufacturing (Gluten-Free)NoGii Manufacturing and the Very Sensitive Topic of Gluten-Free Manufacturing
ALL NoGii Products are being manufactured in a facility approved and certified by the stringent testing of the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO)
With 30 Years of manufacturing "allergy sensitive" products, NoGii has a disciplined approach to allergen management procedures and policies, and a stringent "highly rated" sanitation program. In addition, they have incorporated different allergen management strategies that are all compliant to all regulatory requirements (GMP, SQG, Food Safety and Food Defense).
Starting with product production and ingredient sourcing NoGii only uses dedicated, single source ingredient suppliers who do all parts of production - from growing, to harvesting, milling and packaging. This provides the least possible risk of contamination of allergens. Each ingredient supplier must provide written documentation on product specification and analysis, processing conditions, certifications.
Additional certification is then required from a 3rd party that all the ingredients have been tested by an independent lab to confirm they are Allergy free and Gluten free. After production, NoGii's finished products are then tested for gluten and allergens after every batch produced. All this testing is through the well-respected Brunswick Labs.
The following list should generally outline the approach NoGii has incorporated:
NoGii proactively provides consumers with quick, honest answers. One of the benefits of the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act, which they have incorporated into their policies, is that their good labeling practices let consumers know that they care and they want to help.
About Elisabeth HasselbeckElisabeth Hasselbeck, known primarily as a television personality, Emmy-Award winning talk-show host of The View and ABC news contributor, is also a New York Times Best-Selling author, a designer, and a Gluten-Free living advocate. And, those are just the dynamics of her professional career! On the personal side, Elisabeth is a busy mother of three and is married to ESPN/NFL correspondent and former NFL Quarterback Tim Hasselbeck.
Becoming a Gluten-Free living advocate has evolved from Elisabeth's own amazing testimonial. Elisabeth went years trying to figure out what was causing her severe stomach pain and fatigue, however specialists and nutritionists were never able to diagnose her real problem; Celiac Disease. It wasn't until her participation on the TV show Survivor that her stomach ailments vanished due to a very restrictive diet of living-off-the land for 39 days. Call it a light bulb moment! Following Survivor, Elisabeth was able to reintroduce foods into her diet and pinpoint the food that made her sick -- gluten, the binding element in wheat. By simply eliminating gluten from her diet, she was able to finally enjoy a completely normal, healthy life. Following that experience, Elisabeth was led toward being officially diagnosed with Celiac Disease-and its only treatment: a lifelong gluten-free diet.
After being diagnosed with Celiac Disease, Elisabeth has committed herself to raising awareness about the autoimmune disease. In May 2009, Elisabeth brought the gluten-free lifestyle into the mainstream spotlight with her New York Times Best-Selling Book "The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide." Since its release the book has become a guidepost for those suffering from Celiac Disease, as well as individuals who are eager to adopt the health-related benefits of a gluten-free lifestyle. Today Elisabeth has entered the next phase of her commitment to this growing community with the creation of the NoGii gluten-free nutritional products focused on the entire family.

The nights are drawing in, leaves are starting to glow red and amber. Yes, it's that time of year to tidy up your garden. Now is the perfect time to store furniture, tools and barbecues away ready for next summer, tidy up beds and borders to keep flowers in bloom and plants cropping into the autumn, and make your garden a friendly haven for wildlife.
It might start to feel a bit chilly but your garden is still full of life. Keep mowing the lawn and dead-heading any flowers, there's always those surprisingly warm weekends late in September when you'll want to get out the barbecue before it's hibernation over winter. When the time does come to finally put the barbecue away, leave it out for 12 hours after use to ensure it has fully cooled down and then store it under a cover, tarpaulin or in the shed.shop all lawnmowers
shop all barbecues accessories & covers
Garden storage
A shed is much like another room in the house. Use it to store your tools and furniture away for the winter. You may have been in and out of the shed over summer, so see if it can be tidied up a little before you fill it up as that way it will be clear and organised ready for you to grab the sunlounger out with ease when the summer sun returns. Have a think about what items you might need during the winter and place them within easy reach. A rake is good to keep to hand for the autumn leaves but you'll also want the sledge ready for first snowfall.
If you don't have room for a shed but need some outside storage, there are plenty of smaller storage solutions. Bike sheds, bin shed, garden benches and cupboards can be ideal for small tools and toys. Using small storage is a good way to not overcrowd a small garden.shop all garden storage
As leaves start falling from the trees they will litter the garden, which can suffocate the beds below or kill crops with leaf mould. Use a leaf rake to sweep up fallen leaves; raking by hand means you can avoid delicate flowers and reach further into beds that might otherwise be difficult to get to. If your garden is a bit bigger in size or you're finding mobility a bit more challenging try using a garden vac or leaf blower.shop all rakes shop garden vacs & shredders
Now is a great time to re-stock the compost heap with grass cuttings and fallen leaves to decompose over the winter months. These provide high carbon levels which are essential for plant fertiliser. Ideally shred the leaves to reduce their space and increase the speed of decomposition.
Composting has many benefits for you and your garden. Compost provides a free nutritious fertiliser for your plants and flowers, and is great for the environment. It reduces waste sent to landfill and saves you needing to pop to the shops for compost and plant feeds so often!
Composting is easy too, just put your garden waste in a bin or composter and leave it. It's easy to start a compost heap - you can either buy a compost bin to use, or you build one of your own with timber. Ideally your bin will be easily accessible, have a lid or cover to stop pests getting in and smells getting out, and have closed walls so nothing can seep out.shop compost bins
If you're trimming down larger amounts of plants or trees that will simply take too long on the compost heap, you can use an incinerator. Incinerators help you to get rid of larger volumes of waste quickly without the need to pay for disposal services, or having to take your waste to a disposal site. Incinerators are a confined way of burning garden waste, so that hot ashes can be contained and kept off the ground and the size of the fire stays manageable. Always use with buckets of water or a hosepipe nearby to put out any stray sparks, and keep the fire under control. Do not use in a small space or one overhung by trees.
To increase the life of your incinerator, put it away under cover or in the shed when it cools down after use. This will slow down the rust which can take hold quickly if left outside unprotected.shop incinerators
To keep plants happy as the temperature cools and autumn sets in, raise outdoor pots onto pot feet or bricks to avoid water logging. Insulate any outdoor pots staying out with winter jackets - a cloche is ideal for the job, otherwise garden fleece or bubble wrap works well. Bring any delicate plants inside, and once inside reduce watering to match plant requirements. As long as the soil remains moist then your plant should be just fine. Add simple bark mulch to your flower beds to act as a blanket and wrap up any young tree trunks, again fleece or bubble wrap will do the job.
Don't stop watering! Just because it may be raining more does not mean plants and spring bulbs are necessarily getting the water they need. Keep up regular watering in harmony with rain showers.shop plant protection
As rain increases and leaves fall, your decking or patio can get slippery. Use a pressure washer to keep the surface clean, repeat every 2-3 months through the year.shop all pressure washers
Use a decking and patio cleaner with your pressure washer to enhance the lifespan of your decking and give a better finished result by keeping the surface free from mould. If you don't have a pressure washer then these cleaners can also be used with an outdoor broom, water and some elbow grease!shop patio & decking cleaners
Now is a good time to clean out any bird boxes and feeders. Bird boxes can carry diseases, so cleaning them out will provide a fresh clean home for next year's chicks.
Continue to encourage birds into your garden, keep feeders and bird baths topped up. Birds enjoying a varied diet of insects, weed seeds and even some rodents. As these can damage your plants and beds, birds can act as a bodyguard's for your garden. They're cheaper than buying weed killers and pesticides, and more fun to watch.shop bird care
The summer may only just be coming to an end but now is the time to start thinking about next year. Whilst you're clearing the lawn and beds, have a think about what bulbs you'd like next year. They'll need sowing in October. It's also time to plan your fruit and vegetable garden, and work out when you'll need to start planting and propagating in the spring. Why not clean up pots, planters and propagators now ready to use next year?
Planting calendar
Our handy planting calendar is packed full of information about which vegetables, fruit and herbs to plant, and when. It's never too early to start planning how your vegetable bed or containers will look next year. Now is the perfect time of year to review what worked this year - note down species you'd like to grow again, and look out for new ones you'd like to try.see planting calendar
Spring flowering bulbs
Early autumn is the ideal time to plant your bulbs ready for spring flowering. Colourful displays of daffodils, tulips and crocuses are easy to achieve and will bring your garden to life year after year. They're also easy to plant - simply follow the instructions on the pack.shop spring flowering bulbs

The FBI arrested four members of a fringe Georgia militia yesterday who were allegedly trying to obtain explosives and a potent biological weapon to use against government officials, politicians, members of the media, and potentially the public in order to "save the Constitution." "There is no way for us, as militiamen, to save this country, to save Georgia, without doing something that's highly, highly illegal: murder," one of the suspects told his co-conspirators at a Waffle House, where they met to plot. The men, in their 60s and 70s, allegedly planned to disburse the bio-toxin ricin in Washington, DC and Atlanta. Mother Jones reports that one of the men was a long-time Confederate flag activist while another appears to be a fan of conservative groups, including Americans for Prosperity.

Editor's Pick: UNITYAugust 7, 2012 1 Comment
Jesus gave us the "blueprint for unity" in his Last Supper Discourse. He was praying to our Heavenly Father for his apostles and then he prayed for us. He said, "I not only pray for them, [his apostles]; I also pray for those who will come to believe in me because of their word. I pray that they may be one in us, just as you are in me and I am in you, may they be one in us so the world will come to believe that you sent me" (John 17 :20-21).

Having swollen, red, tender gums that bleed when you floss or brush is a common complaint during pregnancy. About half of moms-to-be have these symptoms – a condition known as pregnancy gingivitis. Your gums are more likely to become inflamed during pregnancy in part because of hormonal changes that make them more sensitive to the bacteria in plaque.
You may also develop a benign nodule on your gums that bleeds when you brush. This relatively rare nodule is called a pregnancy tumor or pyogenic granuloma – scary names for something that's harmless and usually painless. Pregnancy tumors can actually pop up anywhere on your body during pregnancy, but they show up most often in the mouth.
A pregnancy tumor can grow to up to three-quarters of an inch in size and is more likely to appear in an area where you have gingivitis. Typically, it disappears after you have your baby, but if it doesn't, you'll need to have it removed. If it causes discomfort, interferes with chewing or brushing, or starts to bleed excessively, you can have it removed while you're pregnant.
Possibly, but the evidence is inconsistent. Many studies show a link between severe gum disease and preterm birth and low birth weight. And there is some research suggesting an association with preeclampsia, too. However, other studies show no relationship between gum disease and these serious complications.
In any case, it's important to take good care of your teeth and gums during pregnancy. If you don't treat gingivitis, it can get worse and develop into periodontitis, a more serious form of gum disease in which the infection goes beyond your gums into the bone and other tissue that supports your teeth.
Prevention is key. Practice good oral hygiene and get regular preventive dental care.
In addition to regular checkups, schedule a dental appointment right away if you have any of the following:

Rural Texas Physician is a quarterly electronic newsletter catering to physicians in the many rural areas of Texas caring for patients and their communities. TMA's grassroots membership is the strength of the association. For general inquiries or newsletter comments, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
STAR+PLUS Expands to Rural Areas
On Sept. 1, the STAR+PLUS Medicaid managed care program will expand to 164 rural counties not currently participating in the model. With this expansion, elderly patients eligible for Medicaid long-term services and supports (LTCSS) and adult patients with disabilities will be required to enroll in a STAR+PLUS plan. Children with disabilities can enroll voluntary.
For patients eligible for all Medicaid services, STAR+PLUS HMOs cover all traditional Medicaid visits, such as doctor visits, emergency care, and hospital services, as well long-term care services. For patients dually eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, Medicare will continue to provide acute care services, while the STAR+PLUS HMO will provide LTCSS.
Patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including those living in an Intermediate Care Facility or those eligible for certain long-term care services, also will be enrolled in STAR+PLUS for their acute care services, such as doctor visits and hospital care. They may live in a community-based Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities or Related Conditions (ICF-IID) or receive services through one of the following ICF-IID waiver programs:
Nursing facility services were originally scheduled to transition to STAR+PLUS Sept. 1. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has postponed moving nursing facility residents into STAR+PLUS Medicaid managed care until March 1, 2015.

West Texas Health Information Exchange Grant Funding Available
Developing health information exchange (HIE) infrastructure in Texas has rapidly gained traction due to $28 million in federal Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) funding. Texas uses its share of the federal money to establish HIEs in local communities.
West Texas' white space, a term referring to the areas of the state without local and regional HIE activity, has an opportunity to expand access to HIE services through grant funding available from the Texas Health Services Authority (THSA). Through the West Texas HIE Planning Grant Program, THSA will award up to $300,000 to fund the development of up to four HIE business and operational plans. Awardees' plans will outline a clear path from the current capabilities to access HIE services in West Texas to an operational query-based HIE that is qualified for the Texas HIE Accreditation Program and prepared to connect to HIETexas.
A complete application must be submitted to THSA Chief Executive Officer Tony Gilman, email@example.com, by Aug. 1.
The subject line of e-mails related to the grant application should state: "West Texas HIE Planning Grant Program RFA: [Applicant Name] [Option Number]." Access the Request for Applications (RFA) document for more information.
A list of counties that make up the Texas white space region is available online.
AMA Adopts Telemedicine Policy to Improve Access to Care
At the American Medical Association Annual Meeting in June, the AMA House of Delegates voted to approve a list of guiding principles for ensuring the appropriate coverage of and payment for telemedicine services.
The guiding principles came from a report developed by the AMA Council on Medical Service. The goals of the report were to protect the patient-physician relationship, support innovation, ensure patient privacy and quality of care, and promote care coordination and communication with a patient's medical home.
The AMA house added to its policy that a valid patient-physician relationship must be established through a face-to-face physical exam before the telemedical encounter or through a telemedical encounter where a licensed health care provider, acting under the delegation and supervision of the remote physician, is present as a clinical observer. Delegates also decreed that a physician providing telemedicine services must meet the licensure requirements and follow the medical practice laws of the state in which the patient receives the services.
The guiding principles are similar to a telemedicine policy the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) adopted in April.
For more information on the telemedicine report, see the AMA website. Read "Digital Doctor" in the July issue of Texas Medicine for more on the evolution of telemedicine, FSMB's policy, and telemedicine licensure and credentialing concerns.

Central American Refugees Cross Into Texas
TMA's leadership and members are monitoring the need for humanitarian medical care for the growing number of unaccompanied minors, adults, and families crossing the Texas-Mexico border from Central America. So far, those apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol include more than 30,000 unaccompanied minors from Central America (El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala). Estimates indicate the number of unaccompanied minors could grow to 60,000 by the end of the year. Many report they are traveling more than 1,000 miles to escape violence and poverty in their countries.
TMA is calling on President Barack Obama and Gov. Rick Perry to provide medical aid to the thousands of women and children who have traveled from Central America to Texas. The Texas Department of State Health Services reports that severe crowding in the federal facilities and shelters increases the possibility of the spread of infection. Another concern is the use of state and federal resources that could be needed in the event of a natural disaster such as hurricane.
Several federal agencies — U.S. Border Patrol, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement — are responsible for the care of those entering the country without documentation. Within 72 hours of apprehension, an unaccompanied minor must be transferred to the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement. These minors are then relocated to federal facilities, such as Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio or other shelters, to receive health screenings and other support.
While the United States routinely maintains resources, including shelter and public health services for apprehended immigrants, the number of those crossing the Texas border far exceeds available resources. TMA members in South Texas report children are being held in extremely crowded conditions. Those adults and families who have family members in the United States can be released from custody. This population appears to be straining local public and charitable resources as they are spending days waiting for transportation to other parts of the United States to join other family members.
Physicians with an interest in providing support to local charitable groups should read "Charitable Immunity," TMA's white paper on provisions associated with physician liability during a public health emergency.

Choose an EHR With TMA's Product Evaluation Tool
Need help finding the right EHR for your practice? TMA physician members have overwhelmingly indicated to us they need help when it comes to health information technology. They specifically want help with electronic health record (EHR) selection. TMA is here to help, with a tool on the TMA website.
Keep Records When Attesting to Meaningful Use
TMA has learned of yet another snag in the Medicare and Medicaid electronic health record (EHR) incentive programs. A successful attestation submission may be voided if the submitter logs back in to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) attestation portal postsubmission. Any edits made postsubmission — even something as small as hitting the space bar — could void the original submission.
For more information, visit the TMA website.

Hard Hats for Little Heads is made possible through a grant from the TMA Foundation thanks to top donors — Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas, Prudential, and two anonymous foundations — and generous gifts from physicians and their families, and friends of medicine.

- Tower of London - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
William, duke of Normandy, conquered England in 1066. One of the first tasks he undertook after becoming King William I was the building of a fortress in the city of London. This structure, called the White Tower, was begun about 1078 and completed several years later by William's son, William II. Today the White Tower stands at the center of an 18-acre (7-hectare) complex of buildings that is called the Tower of London. In addition to the White Tower, there are 19 other towers. The Thames River flows by one side of the complex. A large moat, or shallow ditch, surrounds it. Once filled with water, it was drained in 1843 and is now covered with grass.

The community thinks...
Perfect for large the large family. by JTW from Dallas. on 12/04/2002. Trim: 2001 Chevrolet Suburban C1500 2WD, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: A lot of room for large families. More than adequate power. Comfort and value with the LT package. Helpful traction control feature. Very good climate control. Tows just about anything with ease. A wonderful highway cruiser.
Cons: Cheap plastic on the dash. No rear wiper on the "barn doors". Towing hitch is not a standard feature (it should be, as this is a vehicle designed for towing). Problematic throttle body, GM replaced with no fuss. Aparently this is a problem with 6 million plus GM cars and trucks, the part has been re-machined and I have experienced no further difficulties.
Overall review: My wife and I traded our 2000 Toyota Sienna Minivan (what Texan wouldn't?) for the 01 Suburban. We purchased the Suburban because it's the largest family vehicle on the road (the Ford Excursion is being discontinued), and we needed the room for our three kids. We love family road trips, we tow dirt bikes and haul a lot of luggage, so the Suburban is ideal. It's ironic when people complain about gas mileage or difficulties parking the Suburban. If the Suburban's size and fuel consumption are going to be an issue for you, consider a car based SUV instead. The Suburban is a truck. It handles like a truck. It looks like a truck. It feels like a truck. There is nothing carlike about this vehicle. On the higway, road noise is minimal, and power is excellent and smooth, even when cruising at 80mph. We are very satisfied with our purchase and I would purchase another Suburban as it is the only vehicle on the road that suits the needs of my large family.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (245 votes).
In short: A great day out, before, during and after the race,In full: This is quite a unique event featuring wine as well as water at the numerous stations along the course! The hog roast afterwards is a great addition rather than just drifting off as is normally the case.The course itself is quite hard being steadily uphill for about 8 miles, with a long descent at the end. It's quite grueling and I think my time was slower than on courses with more ascent/descent.What else? There's a DJ at the start/end, tea, coffee, cakes and melon slices upon finishing.The great views and scenery I sort of take for granted because I live in Dorking but they are fantastic too.All in all a great day out. If you're really keen you can do the marathon version as well, a double dose.Date of review: September 11, 2011
In short: Great scenery, hilly sections, some mud, and WINEIn full: Scenery is great - not a race for PBs due to the hills. Minimal queues - great post race food (hog roast, as well as fruit, cakes, not forgetting the wine). Very friendly, in a beautiful area, what's not to like?Date of review: September 11, 2011
In short: Great scenery, nice atmosphere and good fun - with wine!Date of review: September 11, 2011

Booting issues, tried several distro's- ASRock P43DE3
I'm having trouble getting any distro of linux to boot properly. Fedora KDE seems to be the only one that would work installed but the live CD was giving me trouble. I need .deb support tho for my android tethering.
I'm not really too much of a newbie when it comes to linux, but when it comes to this new motherboard I'm stumped. I've had pretty good luck with my old setup, and was able to get ubuntu working good on my old gateway laptop, but everything I try on this setup just leads to hanging boots about 2/3rds of the time.
I've tried ubuntu 10.10 + 10.4, recent Kubuntu, Mint 9 and 10, Debian 5.5, Knoppix, AV linux, Artist X (wont even boot live cd) and a couple others, and all of these refuse to boot, just a blinking cursor and a blank screen, no keyboard lights or anything, no drive activity. Once in a while it boots fine and the whole system is working nicely, some distro's are nicer than others. Some of these the live CD's wouldnt boot right either.
Knoppix seemed to work the best off the live cd, so i installed that one, and again, the 3rd time I try to boot it, i get nothing.
Ive tried booting with no usb devices pluged in, same result.
Ive tried installing different variations of filesystems, no result.
Only thing in my system that might not be getting along is a M Audio Delta 1010lt audio card. Using it in my Windows XP Audio workstation, booting fine and working as good as XP can.
Again, grub is working, but most of these distros i get nothing but a blinking cursor after i select it in grub. Windows boots perfectly.
3 new hard drives, WD black (640), Spinpoint F3 (500), Seagate single platter (500)
4 gigs of New and Memtested Gskill DDR3, selected out of my motherboard's Ram support list
New ASRock P43de3 board and squeezing some life out of a P4 prescott 3.2... I am overclocked a little, but ive been running it heavy and stable in windows with no trouble
Am I having a problem with SATA drivers or something? It was a pain getting the SATA drivers (asci drivers or whatever) loaded right in my XP install. (had to bust out the FLOPPY drive haha) but i think thats just XP for ya.

I have Fedora 14 installed now, boots the best out of any distro but still froze a couple times on me booting up, right when the blue "loading" screen comes up.

Wow, pretty crazy. Guess I just have to stick to XP
Thanks for the reply tho. Hard to believe its coming up on the top of google search but hasn't got me any help. Posted on 3 forums too. And the featured forum for ASRock? Haha all i hear are tumbleweeds. Worst support ever.
I really dont know if its a board issue, maybe the Nvidia card, maybe a combination?
The only thing that seems to help is booting a live CD with the "xforcevesa" kernal mode. Seems to boot more frequently without trouble, but i dont know what to do when installed, and i prefer not to install 12 more times to get it right. Just my luck ill wind up bricking my HD or something

everything works great as long as the IDE controller is disabled in BIOS. also change onboard and FP audio to "enabled" instead of "auto"
