text: Atheism is , by no means, a religion, however you could come up with some interesting story lines, or write up some funny chapters just with issues between Christianity and Atheism,also.You could have entire chapters of the personification of Christianity calling Atheism a religion, while the personification is trying to explain that by it's very definition, Atheism is not a religion, and all the other usual squabbles between the two. For instance, you could have the personification of Christianity quoting scripture, while his opposite quotes scripture that contradicts that.You could probably have a few chapters concerning the issues between Atheism and agnosticism if you like, they aren't religions, but hey if you can work them in you could get quite a bit of nice material. You could do more with that, I was just giving you a few suggestions.

"OK, you got my attention with last month's Uptime column, 'The World's Best Maintenance Tool' (i.e., detailed work instructions). I see now that our PM work instructions are sorely lacking in details, leaving a lot to the mechanic's discretion. And, our production departments have used standardized work as part of their lean manufacturing process for years. So, here's my question: How should we begin straightening out our PM program without getting mired down in a major documentation project?"
First things first
Your efforts should focus more on improving equipment performance and reliability than overhauling your PM work instruction documents. Be careful NOT to get mired down in a massive rewrite or upgrade of all of your facility's PM work instructions—the financial justification might not be there. Concentrate on delivery of measurable business results every step of the way.
Let's begin exploring a Style Guide to specify how to develop and deploy PM work instructions. We'll start by looking at three basic considerations when improving maintenance work instructions:
#1. Focus on the most penalizing equipment
Begin improving your maintenance work instructions by targeting your most penalizing equipment items or processes. Look beyond the maintenance needs of the equipment and consider the plant or facility operations. Select your starting points with equipment that's a candidate for improved performance by asking a few questions:
The more "YES" answers to these questions, the more likely improved work instructions will be successful.
#2. Follow a structured developmental and deployment process
Given the "top 10 characteristics of the world's best maintenance tool" listed in last month's Uptime column, there may be as many ways to approach the development and deployment of maintenance work processes as there are writers. The challenge is to get started with one developmental model and improve it to suit your needs as you go—then adopt it as a "standard." I've found the continuous-improvement approach reflected in the accompanying process model (Fig. 1) to be especially effective in developing work instructions for NEW equipment.
Click to enlarge.
As you could imagine, each block in Fig. 1 can be interpreted differently. In an actual Style Guide, there would be detailed descriptions and procedures for each of the steps shown by blocks in the model. Here are several items, albeit brief, to consider in each of the steps of Fig. 1:
1A. Incorporate OEM recommendations for Preventive Maintenance whenever available.
1B. Build on the PM instructions of similar equipment (if available).
1C. Review work-order histories of similar equipment for PM effectiveness. Look for gaps.
2. Identify the specific operating conditions, operating/production requirements.
3. Review the equipment configuration. Verify common or non-standard components and modifications.
4. Identify those who will perform PM tasks (i.e., start of shift, end of shift, calendar, hourly, etc.).
5. Engage a select end-user group to prepare a 1st Draft guided by a PM facilitator/engineer.
5A. If your plant is so inclined, use a formal RCM analysis or FMEA to define PM tasks.
6. Look for accuracy, gaps and clarification during an actual "dry-run walk-through" of PM instructions.
7. Start applying visuals to the work instructions AND on the equipment for "maintainability." Consider minor modifications to improve access, inspection and overall ease of maintenance.
8. Compile the 2nd Draft PM Plan & Tasks. A repeat of the "dry-run walk-through" may be in order.
9. Submit for a formal review and approval process per "management of change" (MOC) process.
10. Publish Final PM document according to approved formats or work instruction Style Guide.
11. Deploy PM Plan & Tasks. This may involve updating the PM job plan in your CMMS and attaching the new work instructions to PM work orders.
12. Train and qualify users to accurately and completely follow the new work instructions.
13. Audit the PM performance to assure accuracy, efficiency and effectiveness of the instructions and the qualification of the persons using the instructions.
14. Over time, look for ways to improve the PM Plan & Tasks (work instructions).
15. Compile the improved PM Draft Work Instructions and return to Step #5 to complete update.
Regardless of which development-process model you use, be sure to document it. Then improve it.
#3. Use a standardized document format
Some businesses may already have a standard document format for work instructions—many plants, however, do not. The following list summarizes major headings in a standard PM work-instruction format. Of course, the format should be adapted to the specific needs/ requirements of YOUR facility. There are three major groups of information in this standard format: "Document Headings," "Job Performance" and "Document Control."
Document Headings…
1.0. Procedure Title & ID Number
2.0. Applicability: Location, Equipment, Process, Facility, Work Center, etc.
3.0. Procedure Identification: ID Number, Type
4.0. Frequency of Performance
5.0. Equipment Status: Running, Down, Major Shutdown/Turnaround
6.0. Introduction: Procedure Summary
Job Performance…
7.0. Responsibilities: (Who & What) Manager, Supervisor, Maintainer, Others
8.0. Assigned Personnel Requirements: Craft, Trade, Technician, Skill Level, Contractor…
9.0. Estimated Time: Hours, Duration, Number of People, Additional Work limits…
10.0. Personal Protective Equipment Requirements
11.0. Environmental & Safety: MSDS, Hazards, Confined Space, Cutting, Containment, Disposal…
12.0. Reference Documents & Source: OEM, Owner, Contactor…
13.0. Equipment & Tools Requirements
14.0. Parts Requirements
15.0. Materials & Supplies Requirements
16.0. Reference Documents
17.0. Procedure: Step-by-step, Should-Be and As-Found Readings, Graphics, Photos…
18.0. Comments: Job Notes, Work-Process Revisions
19.0. Completion Signatures: Performed By, Approved By, Inspected by, …
Document Control…
20.0. Current Revision: Revision Number & Date
21.0. Document Control Identification
22.0. Document Originator & Approval: Name, Contact Information, Effective Date…
Some final thoughts
There are several options for using detailed PM work instructions: They could be attached to PM work orders when they're distributed, made available in hard copy at the equipment or point of use, or posted on a network computer terminal that's accessible to the person performing the tasks. The work instructions can also be summarized in checklist format for ease of use on the job if the tasks to be performed are not particularly complex or critical.
Detailed maintenance work instructions are meant to drive out the natural "human variation" in the way people do things. They provide a basis for training and qualifying a person to perform the required tasks on specific equipment. And the use of the work instructions must be enforced—they're not optional. Instructions that are developed in the manner described here are a starting point for continuous improvement of equipment performance and reliability, improved workplace safety and environmental conditions, and for improving overall productivity of the company's physical assets AND its human resources.
Coming up in August
Next month, Part II of this article will explore the ins and outs of procedure-writing and include some actual examples along with a number of different work instruction layouts and summary checklists. MT

Comments about Tank Top With Built-In Bra:
Love the tank top; however, the built-in bra is lacking. It looks like I'm not even wearing a bra with this tank top. Only picked two stars because it needs that something. It needs the built-in bra to be better. Other than that, it's a great shirt (very comfortable and pretty).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I am totally amazed and thrilled at how well this product worked for me. Within 15 minutes of taking 2 tablets… VertiFree completely eliminated my dizziness.- Claymom, RI, USA
What is VertiFree?
VertiFree is a safe, non-addictive, FDA-registered natural remedy containing 100% homeopathic ingredients selected to relieve vertigo symptoms at the first signs, including dizziness, nausea, disorientation or motion disturbances, as well as improve inner ear balance. Formulated by our team of experts in natural medicine, VertiFree is taken internally for symptom relief without side effects.
VertiFree works quickly to support inner ear balance and is available in small, dissolvable tablets that are easy to ingest and have no artificial colors or preservatives. It is safe for all ages, including pregnant women or those who may be breastfeeding.
VertiFree is also a great complementary remedy to herbal PureCalm™, which provides instant calming relief when experiencing symptoms of vertigo such as dizziness, nausea or disorientation. PureCalm also works to quickly relieve symptoms of anxiety, nervousness and panic attacks that can arise due to chronic episodes of vertigo.
All Native Remedies homeopathic products and biochemic tissue salts are manufactured in a FDA- and GMP-registered pharmaceutical facility under the supervision of qualified homeopaths and responsible pharmacists. Individual ingredients are listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS).
Vertigo explained
Balance is maintained by several bodily systems that work together: the eyes (visual system), ears (vestibular system), and the body's sense of where it is in space (proprioception). The information from these body systems is integrated by the brain, which also needs to function normally to maintain balance.
The vestibular system works with the visual system to keep objects in focus when the head is moving. When the head is tilted or the body position is changed with respect to gravity, the displacement of the stones causes the hair cells to bend. If there are any irregularities in this balance system of 'bobbing buoys' and fluid, we lose the ability to remain balanced.
Often times, balance problems, along with ringing sensations in the ears, dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea or the sensation of motion or disorientation can be related to vertigo. Vertigo is a symptom that gives off a sensation of spinning, whirling or moving when a person's balance is disrupted, and may be constant or episodic, occurring every few minutes or hours, sometimes for weeks or even months at a time. It can be caused by a number of reasons, including a disturbance in inner ear fluid balance, ear infections, Meniere's disease, multiple sclerosis, motion sickness or migraines.
The natural way
From time to time, experiencing vertigo and problems with balance can be extremely distressing. But there are many things that you can do to ease your dizziness naturally. Drink adequate amounts of fluid daily, change positions slowly to avoid dizziness and disorientation, and limit the amount of salt you eat each day to decrease the pressure in your inner ear.
People who suffer from vertigo also tend to experience nervousness that may result in a vicious cycle. Reducing stress levels can benefit anyone who experiences regular bouts of dizziness. Make sure that you get enough sleep, eat regular, wholesome meals and use natural remedies to benefit the nervous system. It's also important to have blood pressure checked, as dizziness and faintness may be brought on by low blood pressure.
What are the Ingredients?
VertiFree is a 100% homeopathic formula and contains the following ingredients in therapeutic dosage: Cocculus (30C), Lobelia inflata (30C), Bryonia (30C), Gelsemium (30C).
- Cocculus indicus (30C) is a plant native to India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. The berries of this plant were scattered in streams by indigenous people to "relax" the fish so that they would be easier to catch. This remedy would benefit people who tend to be very fatigued for a prolonged time, have feelings of fainting, restless sleep or 'brain fog'.
- Lobelia inflata (30C) is best suited to those who suffer with faintness, dizziness and weakness.
- Gelsemium (30C) suits those who tend to become sedentary, preferring to move as little as possible. It can be used to address headaches (accompanied by fatigue) and disorientation. Symptoms tend to worsen in late winter and spring, or because of emotional upsets (such as exams or deadlines).
- Bryonia alba (30C) is highly suitable for people who respect their bodies and the environment when they feel healthy. Physical symptoms of conditions that can benefit from Bryonia include situations where the slightest movement is distressing, when headaches are present, and when an individual perspires excessively.
This homeopathic remedy is an OTC medicine registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Native Remedies is the leading brand of natural remedies known for safe, effective and quality products. Our remedies are formulated by natural health experts and produced under the highest pharmaceutical standards in FDA-registered, GMP certified facilities. We utilize the finest quality ingredients that are officially monographed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS).
Native Remedies homeopathic products and biochemic tissue salts never contain any animal products, gluten, artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, and are not tested on animals. Our products are always backed by our One Year Unconditional Money Back Guarantee.
How do I use VertiFree?
Chew or dissolve these very small, pleasant-tasting tablets directly in the mouth. Alternatively, for small babies, crush tablets and sprinkle onto tongue.
For all ages: Acute: Take 2 tablets every 20 minutes or until symptoms subside. Chronic: Take 2 tablets 3 times daily on an empty stomach.
Note: It is recommended that VertiFree be used concurrently with fast-acting PureCalm™ for relief from anxiety and nervousness tied to vertigo. VertiFree is a homeopathic remedy and is safe for all ages and during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Caution: Avoid strong mint-flavored candy, as this may reduce effectiveness of the remedy. Because dizziness may have a number of underlying causes, it is recommended that those who suffer repeated bouts should consult their healthcare provider for a diagnosis. If symptoms persist or worsen, a healthcare professional should be consulted. If pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a health professional before use. Keep this and all medicines out of reach of children.
How long until I see results?
VertiFree starts working on a cellular level upon the first dose, helping to support the inner ear and balance from within. Response times vary from individual to individual and are based on physiological composition and other circumstances. While some individuals show an immediate improvement of coordination along with inner ear balance and health that increases over time, others will see results after 3-5 doses.
Effectiveness is greatly increased if the recommendations are followed regarding adequate rest, sufficient sleep and a healthy diet – all of which contribute to overall nervous system health.
Get optimum results with regular use
While conventional medicine works by often treating just the symptoms, natural medicine strives to create holistic balance in the body to support systemic health, relieve ailments, and help prevent future disease. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, the natural ingredients in our remedies support overall health and functioning instead of just suppressing symptoms.
People respond to natural remedies in different ways. Some of our satisfied customers experience immediate results. Many others have reported optimal benefits taking effect within 3–6 weeks. To ensure that you receive optimum results, it is important to take natural remedies as directed and remain consistent. You may also find that a smaller maintenance dose is beneficial for ongoing support. Many customers report taking a regular maintenance dose as part of a preventative program for continued health and well-being.
How long will a bottle last?
One bottle of VertiFree contains 180 lactose tablets and lasts for approximately 30 days or longer depending on dosage.
How has VertiFree helped others?
VertiFree has been used to relieve the symptoms of vertigo in sufferers. Here is what some customers have to say:
"I suffer … and for close to a year I have been suffering with chronic dizziness and a balance disorder which has created anxiety, fatigue, and blurred vision. I am very active, (I hike and I am the manager of a large medical practice) and want to remain active & employed. Highly regarded specialists have tried medications without success. Once I had the diagnosis, I tackled the problem on my own by getting on the internet and found your website. I figured I had nothing to lose. I am happy to report that the dizziness is much better and the other problems; anxiety, fatigue, blurred vision have all improved tremendously. My brother has now also ordered [VertiFree] as he also has… [issues]. I am encouraged and my feeling of desperation is subsiding."
—Viviane, CA, USA
"I am a swimmer and often get fluid in my ear, which can affect my balance quite considerably. Thanks to VertiFree, I can take it as I feel the dizziness and disorientation coming on. Thanks for a product that I can take even during swim trials!"
—Callum, South Africa
"Hey all. I had a dizzy spell while on a date, and it was so embarrassing! My date thought I was drunk, but I was not. My doctor said I had a common, harmless balance disorder – but I wasn't going to take any chances. I ordered VertiFree, and have used it since with great results. Thanks for keeping my social life intact!"

Re: PULLING A HAYWAGON
Now that I have had some time to think about things, I've come to respect most of you fellows' wishes...and not take it on the road and up/down slight grades...I rediscovered what is important to me....family, close friend (s) and loved ones' support alike...nothing else matters....don't try to live to please others- if I have to, they're not worth it...live for today....2ndly, "Life is like proper dress codes...Proper dress is NOT always comfortable- but it IS about showing your best side...3rdly, I apoligize if I worried you guys and thank you for bringing me to my senses....it's about the get-together with the people I love..> I am ending the evening with a bonfire and cook up a little sausage and suck down a few beers....that will wait till I run Moxie up and down the dirt road next to my house...it is not going onto the street and it IS all FLAT...it is a driveway...that should pacify my craving for the hayride as well as my guests...Once the alcohol breaks out , Moxie is put into the garage...happy day !! This is a celebration of people for the Harvest Moon, not my tractor.
If by chance something happens like a bigger tractor or F150 come into the picture maybe the ride will be extended , but not with my CUB...thanks guys
Re: PULLING A HAYWAGON
I think that your decision is a good one.
Slopes and angles are hard to visualize, so here are several simple examples:
Figure on an 8 foot board, now put a 6 or 7 inch block under the far end -- this is real close to a 7% slope. (It is about 4 degrees).
Remove the small block and put an 11 or 12 inch block under the far end -- this is real close to 7 degrees. (It is about 12% slope).
If we figure on a total load behind the cub of 6000 pounds, the force pushing the tractor will be around 400 pounds for the 7% slope and 700 pounds for the 7 degree slope.
A dusty or wet road would spell trouble for both cases.
Use a big tractor then when the ride is complete -- down a sixer and be happy.
Re: PULLING A HAYWAGON
Degrees and % are not very different. A 100% slope would be a 90 degree angle, so 7% x 90 = 6.3 degrees. I guess if the load's pushing you down the hill, it ain't gonna matter whether it's 6.3 or 7.0 degrees.
REMEMBER: Keep it correct or you may face the
Re: PULLING A HAYWAGON
Actually, on percentage of slope, there are a number of ways to figure the percentage. Some methods uses a run, rise percentage in which a 45 degree angle equals 100%. Other methods use 90 degrees as 100% slope.
Any way, Tinkertoy, I personally do not like to put myself at risk of "losing the farm" over an incident/accident that is not my fault. I think you made a good choice.
Long short story. I use to teach High School Shop. Never had an accident until I had two students injured in one year, nothing major. Called it quits, retired. Any way, I maintained liability insurance until the last student I taught reached 18 1/2 years of age. Just in case one of them wanted to sue me for an incident/accident.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: PULLING A HAYWAGON
In my opinion, 20 people is too many due to the weight. Your Cub will pull it but heaven forbid should your tractor quit running while climbing any grade. If you're lucky the engine will hold you but the brakes won't. If she starts rolling backwards, we'll be reading about your hayride in the news papers. It would be a disaster. If the weight pushes you down the grade due to your tires loosing traction ( tractor tires don't get great traction on pavement) we will be reading about your hayride in the news papers then too. Something heavier with good brakes would be much safer.

Re: PULLING A HAYWAGON
Tinkertoy, I applaud your decision! At our campground, we have a hay-ride wagon very similar to the one pictured. I've pulled many rides with it, generally using my Cockshutt 20. there are a few gentle slopes around the grounds and one very short slope that's a bit steeper. The cockshutt handled the wagon quite well but one week-end I decided to use Cubota. I had plenty power for climbing that slope, but there was some serious pucker decending it. I didn't use Cubota anymore! Although the camp ground has appropriate insurance, I've stopped pulling those rides. I feel there is still considerable liability on my part and I just don't want to go there.
Re: PULLING A HAYWAGON
Here's some good reading, a book edited by Michael Dregni, titled "This Old Tractor". A story by Bill Vossler tells of a 17 year old's first experience driving a tractor while at the same time hauling hay. Should be required reading for all new tractor drivers. Roger Welsch wrote the forward and had some very good advice in his story "Roger's Rules for Collecting Old Iron and Living with Your Wife".

Re: PULLING A HAYWAGON
I had no idea pulling a hay wagon was this technical or difficult, had I known I would'nt have done it all these years.
Re: PULLING A HAYWAGON
The technical data and information one can glean from a pool of hundreds of years of combined experience brought together on the Farmallcub.com forums is priceless, isn't it?
Re: PULLING A HAYWAGON
It's one thing to haul a wagon load of hay/corn/wood when you've been properly trained and have done it 1000's of times.
We're talking about a load of PEOPLE and a presumably inexperienced driver here.
Personally I would want at least an H in front of this load, if not an M or something more modern with power brakes. This is coming from a farm boy who used to haul 8 ton wagon loads of hay with a Farmall 560 with iffy brakes down some pretty nasty hills. I've hauled 1000's of loads for my Dad in the last 26 years with various tractors. You might be able to keep the load on the road, but God help you if you have to stop if you don't have enough tractor.
With the pictured wagon, you're looking at anywhere from 4500-6000lbs. If it was all level it would be one thing, but it could easily outrun the Cub on much of a downhill slope.
Re: PULLING A HAYWAGON
Tinkertoy here...I am not completely what you would call 'inexperienced' in the matter...I've been around tractors since I was a kid..I am now 58 and I plan to see my way to 59...please, people enough...wait for someone else to write in with a problem that needs solving...this one is done !!
Re: PULLING A HAYWAGON
I agree! Folks, Tinkertoy has already come to terms with the fact that his plan won't work. He asked a question and recieved plenty of answers he needed to make a decision. I think we have covered just about every safety aspect there is about the dangers of pulling a wagon full of people, hay or what have you with a Cub. It's time to move on to another subject and solve other problems.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

Re: PULLING A HAYWAGON
With all your good sense of what Moxie was capable of, I came to MY senses....to realize I am no slouch when it comes to equipment like Moxie...I did the hayride and I'm SSSOOOO glad I did...With all your warnings were taken and kept in mind all night....We had such a great time...since taking stock in all that you guys wrote in about , I changed my route to no hills and took in 2 dirt roads...Moxie ran like a champ...at one time, there were 20 on board (yesterday afternoon) however, the night before, I took on 12 as my limit.. we came back to our bonfire, good music and a few pops...and a lot of munchies....the high school football team came by to rake my yard yesterday, so I took them for a ride for payment...they loved it too..I have nothing but respect for your guidance and concerns for my welfare and safety as well as my passengers...I would not have been as vigilant if I hadn't consulted this website first...again, thank you so much...I called it Bob's 1) Harvest Full Moon 2) Octoberfest 3) Halloween 4) Pre-Hurricane Sandy...HAYRIDE !!

Guys and gals.
I'm on a SIM unlocked 1.0.2 (unlocked via iUnlock).
I activated YouTube via the well known method with those magic 3 files.
All worked well up until a week ago. I didn't change anything, though.
The stranges part is that while starting YouTube on the iPhone I get the "Cannot connect to YouTube" error. HOWEVER, I can still play all videos which are in my bookmarks and all the featured ones...
But I can't do anything else. By the way: The featured ones obviously haven't changed in a while - but as I said: I can still play them.
Any ideas?

Toddlers will love this bright and colourful Shape Sorter offering endless hours of fun. Learn shapes and colours as you sort them into the correct spaces.
Includes 4 brightly coloured shapes and Turtle Shape Sorter
Now we can't promise our exclusive range of Buzzing Brains toys will make your child a genius, but they *will* stimulate their senses and develop their skills. Plus give them hours of FUN! From high contrast, multi-sensory toys for newborns to role play games for pre-schoolers, each Buzzing Brains toy comes with an age recommendation for developmental appropriateness. Trust us, your little one's going to love them.
very colourful and stimulating for the young minds. Ideal present with lots of differing features.
My little girl is just starting crawling so we are finding this a brilliant little toy both to encourage crawling and for her to experiment with. My little girl is still a little young for shape sorting but it is a task that can pass hours for little uns so sure this will get its use even more over the coming months.
My grandson loves to pull this toy along. The shapes are easy for him to handle.
A really cute toy. I like the pull along aspect and the fact that it plays music and flashes when the shapes are put in the slot. However, you cannot switch the music off and it is difficult to get the shapes back out. You have to do it for the child really unless they are very dextrous.
My 6 month old loves playing with this and trying to get the shapes through the holes. It will last a long time aswell because when he is walking he will be able to pull it along behind him and correctly match the shapes. It is not a toy that he will grow out of too quick. The noises and tunes are entertaining enough to keep his attention for quite awhile.

Citysearch Editorial Review – Near Union Square, New York's first upscale ping-pong parlor touches down in underground digs.
Steps from the 6 train station (really, it overlooks the platform) awaits this 13,000-square-foot private table tennis playpen, open to members and guests alike.

If the DJs and normal tables don't cut it, high rollers can head to the private back room to play on the $60,000 stainless steel table, styled with a glass net.

GradesFirst is a student support system intended to promote student success and retention through the most effective advising practices, early identification of at-risk students, and enhanced communication methods for students, faculty, academic advisers, and athletic coaches.
GradesFirst is a wonderful tool for both students and faculty/staff. Students are able to keep track of their absences, check their progress in class, and schedule advising appointments. The Student Success Office uses GradesFirst as a means of staying in touch with our students. We send appointment reminders and advising requests. We are able to track students who are at risk of failing classes and set up one-on-one meetings with those students.
Michelle Otwell
Director, Student Success
I am excited about the new academic services Gradesfirst offers. With Gradesfirst, requesting a tutor is a breeze. Students who are struggling in a class just log into their Gradesfirst account and click the "request a tutor" button next to that class. An e-mail request is sent directly to Student Support Services, and we begin working immediately to schedule the student's tutoring appointment. In addition, Gradesfirst automatically sends the student and tutor several e-mail and text reminders, making it easy for both of them to keep up with appointments. As a result, more students are keeping appointments, and we, in turn, are helping more students.

It's enough to make legendary college-football broadcaster Keith Jackson cry, "Whoa, Nellie!"
During a three-year project completed in 1999, the University of Texas spent $90 million to upgrade and expand the football stadium on its Austin campus. Now, less than seven years later, Texas is at it again. Last February, fresh from a Rose Bowl victory that clinched a national championship in football, the university's regents approved another $150 million to further remodel and expand the Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Expected to be completed in 2008, the project will add another 10,000 seats and 44 premium suites, bringing the total seating capacity to more than 90,000.
The University of Texas isn't the only institution of higher learning lavishing funds on stadium makeovers. In Ann Arbor, the University of Michigan is spending $226 million to overhaul Michigan Stadium and add 83 suites and 3,200 club seats. The "Big House" is already one of the largest stadiums in the country, with a capacity of more than 107,000. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State, which competes with Texas in the Big 12 conference, is putting the finishing touches on a $102 million upgrade to its football stadium. Last January, the athletic program announced a gift of $165 million from oilman and alumnus T. Boone Pickens, earmarked for further renovations to the stadium and other athletic facilities. It was the largest-ever gift to a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletic program.
Ed Goble, associate athletic director for business who acts as sports CFO at the University of Texas, is unapologetic about the sums Texas is spending. "You've got to have great facilities if you are going to remain competitive," he says. "If we can pay for it, we'll do it."
Goble's words could serve as a motto for college athletic departments around the country. In the name of competition, universities are spending more and more on state-of-the-art stadiums, arenas, gyms, practice facilities, and weight rooms. Seeking to please fans and alumni, they are bidding higher sums for coaches and spending more to lure prize recruits.
But as programs vie to outspend one another, many go deep into the red, forcing schools to raise student fees and seek new sources of support. (Texas is a rarity: its program is self-sufficient and usually runs in the black.) Indeed, although many schools have increased revenue by adding premium seating and charging for seat licenses and ticket guarantees, they haven't improved their financial positions much, if at all. Unlike in the corporate world, most universities don't bother to track the returns on their sports investments beyond the win column. Despite the myth of massively profitable college-sports franchises built on the backs of unpaid players, only a handful of athletic programs manage to break even without university or student-fee subsidies.
Some argue that successful athletic programs bring intangible benefits to their schools, in the form of publicity and image enhancement. But research has cast doubt on the value of such reflected glory (see "Money Well Spent?" at the end of this article).

19, 2013]
It is important to protect young
children from the flu by watching what they put in their mouths.
Teething rings, pacifiers and other "mouth" toys should be cleaned
frequently. It is also important to frequently wash your infant's or
young child's hands with soap and water because small children are
always sucking their hands or fingers.
The hours for vaccines at the Logan County Department of Public
Health, 109 Third St., are Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. until
4 p.m. No appointment is required.
The cost of the seasonal flu shot is $27 for adults and children
with health insurance that covers vaccines, $23.75 for children
6 months through 18 years of age who have no health insurance or
health insurance that doesn't cover vaccines, and free to those with
a Medicaid or Medicare card.
[to top of second column]
For more information on the seasonal influenza vaccine, call the
health department at 217-735-2317.

Enemy Within
Trust No One
Enemy Within
Trust No One
Grace McKenzie, a well established museum curator, is notified that her
former fiancé Steven Hatfield has been murdered in the small town of New Hope, Pennsylvania. Former fiancé because she had discovered in time that his womanizing ways would never change. The terms of his will leave his art gallery to her. Anticipating that she might renounce the bequest, he asks her to spend one week there prior to doing so. She agrees to do so.
The other principal, FBI agent Matt Baxter, learns his father has been
arrested for Steven Hatfield's murder. Knowing his father, the former
sheriff, is incapable of this he takes time off to head home to solve the murder, also realizing full well that the present sheriff has a grudge not only against him but also his father.
Subplots and more subplots begin to appear, such as forged art taken on consignment and a discovery of $250,000 secreted in cereal boxes. These occupy Grace's time as she is making new friends. One of whom is Denise Baxter wife of the imprisoned Fred Baxter.
In Matt's investigation he learns that his stepmother Denise had been having an affair with the victim, and immediately prior to the murder all of this was disclosed in a bar where Fred was with friends. Fred immediately raged out of the bar and had no alibi witness for the time of the murder.
Matt leaves no stone unturned in his efforts to exonerate his father and judging from all the discord he finds there are several lines of investigation to pursue. Matt and Grace seem to drift into becoming an item as they start working together. They do so because Matt fears that if it is the gallery that prompted the murder then Grace is at risk as well.
The characters are numerous and only some of them are well defined. As the novel progresses the author takes pains to start tying the subplots
together. There are so many that the ending seems very contrived.
For all that is going on, the tension is at a pretty low level in every
respect. The characters are archetypes and dialog is always consistent with that type. The author's portrayal of Bucks County adds texture to the story.
The Romance Reader wishes Ms. Heggan well in her new endeavors.
--Thea Davis

Gala: Fruits early in the season, bearing crisp apples with a crisp, dense flesh. Semisweet to slightly tart in flavor with floral notes.
Granny Smith: The classic apple for baking, with crisp flesh and a moderately sweet flavor. A very heavy late-season producer.

Careers In Health Law
Graduates of the law-medicine program are pursuing careers in all areas of health law, all across the country. They work at law firms, corporations, hospitals, government agencies, research and consulting organizations, legal aid offices, and other public interest organizations. Some are advocates and litigators; others are transaction experts and advisors on policy and regulation.
Our Career Services Office complements our curriculum with programs and services that include on- and off-campus interviews, individual counseling sessions, participation in specialized job fairs, an extensive career library, year-round workshops, panel discussions and presentations on job-related topics, mock interviews, and an alumni mentor program.

One of the school's top priorities is to assist students in planning their health law career. The school continues to expand its online resources and alumni career services network to aid students seeking health law-related jobs, as well as identifying nontraditional job opportunities in such areas as government and public interest.
Special Student Opportunities
The Law-Medicine Center offers summer internship stipends for students interested in a career in health law.

Africa); and Housing Advocates, Inc. (Cleveland).
Health Matrix Associate Editors with an unpaid summer health law job may apply for a summer internship stipend funded by a special Health Matrix Endowment.
Hospital Externship
Hospital Law Externships offered by The Law-Medicine Center allow students to gain hands-on, experiential learning in a top hospital legal environment, while earning course credit. The highly selective externships are with Cleveland's top hospital systems: University Hospitals Case Medical Center, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, MetroHealth System, and Summa Health System.
Health Law Scholarships & Fellowships
Students specializing in health law may be eligible for one of two merit-based programs. Law-Medicine Scholars receive tuition offset. Law-Medicine Fellows receive tuition offset and a position as a summer research assistant for a member of the Law-Medicine Center faculty.

PT council to revisit sign ordinance
Just months after enacting an ordinance that strictly regulates digital signs in Peters Township, members of council agreed Feb. 25 to look at the ordinance again, citing advances in technology.
Stacey Pape, of SP Floors in the former Ethan Allen building on Washington Road, asked council to consider an amendment to the current ordinance that would allow multi-color digital signs with graphics. The ordinance now only permits digital signs using two colors – amber and red.
Pape showed council slides of various signs using only the permitted red or amber, followed by photographs of updated signs with graphics in a multitude of colors.
"Digital technology has come a long way," Pape told council.
Councilman James Berquist said he felt council should revisit the ordinance, but stressed any changes should be consistent.
Councilman Robert Lewis has been vocal in the past in his resistance to digital displays, citing his dislike of signs advertising toilet paper, soft drinks and flu shots. Pape said, if approved, the sign in front of her business would also be used to promote community events. Lewis said others in the township had promised to display event notices. However, only a few actually promote community events. Lewis said consultants have noted that the commercial district is not "up to par" for an affluent community like Peters Township.
"The two most attractive buildings on Route 19 are for dead people," Lewis said of the two funeral homes – Cremation and Funeral Services by Danielle Andy Belusko and Beinhauer's.
A majority of council agreed to send the matter of an amended ordinance to the planning commission for review.
In other action, council:
• Approved the final plan of Hill Place Estates involving a two-lot subdivision.
• Approved the final plan of Paul Plan for James and Joan Basco Paul.
• Approved a traffic calming study for Maple Lane not to exceed $3,400.
• Granted a special permit request by the Peters Township High School dance team for a sign on the Arrowhead Trail bridge above East McMurray Road for a dance camp fund raiser March 10.
• Approved a motor vehicle ordinance creating speeds and stop signs for new streets taken over by the township, authorizing a traffic signal on the new portion of Center Church Road at East McMurray Road, and establishing no parking zones along Quail Run. The ordinance permits township police to enforce the areas.
• Announced Michael Silvestri, township manger, is in negotiations with Waste Management for a refund of garbage fees when the company failed to pick up trash during two weeks in December. Silvestri said the refund, the amount of which has not been agreed upon, could be about $6,200. Council will decide once the amount is finalized as to how to distribute the refund. Silvestri said about one fifth of the township was involved and would be eligible for a refund that could be only $2 to $3 per household.
Next meeting: 7:30 p.m. March 11.

What is it you chang ei xml to see wallpapers through app (transparent)
Each app is slightly different in my experience and there is no exact formula. Generally what your doing is changing the apps from Theme."whatever" to Theme.Wallpaper and this occurs in different places. If you want to compare some of the xmls you would want to compare would be androidmanifest.xml, styles.xml, and also things in layout and possibly things in drawable. In some instances all you have to do is change current coding that is there and in other instances you may have to add code. Sorry I dont have an exact answer for you but feel free to keep asking questions and ill try to answer to the best of my ability

Seed – Ant Interactions Experiments
Thiess Pty. Ltd and The Faculty of Science & IT Summer Scholarship (Matthew Hamilton).
When direct seeding native plant seed onto a substrate for rehabilitation, it can be partially or even totally removed by ants. It was previously thought that once in the nest, ants removed the aril (growths on seeds relished by ants and birds) from seeds and discarded the rest of the seed outside the nest, leading to seed dispersal. If that were the case, ants would not collect seed that had their arils removed. Also, it was not known if the practice of hydrating some seed before sowing would affect removal rates.
To compare seed removal rates of three plant species from Petri dishes in a spoil rehabilitation area and in a remnant forest reference site. Also to determine whether seed hydration and aril removal influenced predation rates.
Summary of Results
Total seed removal for three species (Pultanaea retusa, Hardenbergia violacea, Acacia parvipinnula ) was studied in the forest and on the spoil rehabilitation area. 80% of seeds on the rehabilitation area were removed irrespective of species within 2 hours (below). In the forest there were still many seeds in the dishes at the conclusion of the study (5 hours).
In a second experiment, seed was placed in Petrie dishes: dry, hydrated, or with aril removed, in the forest and on the spoil rehabilitation area.
Results for Pultenaea retusa are shown below. On the spoil, irrespective of treatment, all seeds were removed. In the forest, seeds were removed more slowly, with those that had their arils removed slowest of all.
The reasons for these differences are mainly the ant species assemblages. On the rehabilitation area large generalist ants were present in large colonies and had no difficulty carrying away even the seeds without arils (ants will preferentially grab the seeds by the aril to carry them). In the forest, many more ant species were present but most of them were smaller and colonies were less dense than on the rehabilitation area. Some ants from different species did not forage in the same areas, leading to some plates being untouched if the dominant species was not interested.
No evidence of seed being discarded out of the nest was observed, indicating that while some dispersal of seed may occur, when seed consumers collect the seed it is generally eaten.
Ants can have a significant impact on the success of a rehabilitation plan through direct seeding. Methods can be developed to avoid this. For example, by choosing a time of year to seed when germination is possible but foraging activities of ants are lower or focused upon other food sources. Alternatively, ant repellents can be trialled as seed coatings to deter predation. Ant assemblages in both areas and ant seed consumption activities need further study.

Hot Dates!
Calendar watches heat up the horology scene with new takes on an old problem
Laurie Kahle
From the Print Edition:
Jeff Daniels-The Newsroom, July/August 2012
In case you are not familiar with the Chinese calendar, 2012 is the Year of the Dragon, which explains the current preponderance of watch dials in the market that are embellished with the mythical creature associated with prosperity and power. It is also a reminder of the burgeoning Chinese luxury market, which Swiss brands are unabashedly courting. Blancpain, however, advanced beyond mere decoration with its Traditional Chinese Calendar watch. The dial uses Chinese characters in addition to Roman numerals to display the hours, minutes, and the Gregorian calendar alongside the main indications of the lunisolar Chinese calendar: traditional double-hour indication, day, month with indication of leap months, the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac, as well as the five elements and the 10 celestial stems. A moon phase display makes the connection between the lunar cycle and traditional Chinese months.
The magnitude of such a creation—a watch that calculates both Western and Asian calendar data—comes into sharper focus when you consider that even a calendar watch based solely on our solar calendar poses challenges for watchmakers due to irregular months and leap years. For hundreds of years, watchmakers have understood how to display dates as well as time, but the latest takes on the genre offer such enhancements as improved setting systems, new representations of lunar phases, novel combinations of complications and, of course, ever-expanding design motifs. They also further explore a comparatively recent advancement, the annual calendar watch, which created a new watch category as well as its own market niche between the hyper-expensive models that almost never require resetting and the more affordable ones that need nearly bimonthly attention. And with the new annual category has come a new breed of collector.
An estimated 40 different calendars are used around the globe, but the one we—and the watches we wear—generally follow is the ecclesiastical Gregorian calendar, which was established by papal decree in 1582. Because that system includes months of varying lengths, a simple calendar watch, with a 31-day readout, must be adjusted five times a year to correct for those months with fewer days. The annual watch needs adjusting only once a year, on March 1, while the rare semi-perpetual calendar requires correcting on leap-year day only. Highly complex perpetual calendar mechanisms have existed since 1795.
Yet that is not to dismiss the first category of calendar watches. While it may technically be a simple triple calendar (showing day, date and month, but still running on a 31-day cycle), there is nothing basic about Maîtres du Temps's Chapter Two, which takes on a sporty personality in its new round case made of Grade 5 titanium and black PVD. Maîtres du Temps's hallmark is using turning roller displays, an inventive approach that was inspired by a vintage clock. Like the Chapter One, Chapter Two's rollers indicate the day and month. For its second model, the young boutique brand partnered with independent masters, Peter Speake-Marin (who worked with Christophe Claret on Chapter One), and Daniel Roth, an industry veteran who sold his eponymous brand to Bulgari.
Still, perpetual calendars are the most highly sought after and expensive due to the technical challenges involved in creating them. "The perpetual calendar is one of the most amazing complications that has ever been," says John Reardon, head of watches at Sotheby's in New York. "The execution of it continues to evolve as companies look for novel ways to display the information conveyed through the dial, but the basic technology has remained the same."
One of the most vexing aspects of owning a perpetual calendar can be the hassle of resetting all the different displays with a push pin if the watch's mainspring runs down. Some of the most notable innovations in perpetual calendar technology over the decades have simplified this process. In 1985, master watchmaker Kurt Klaus of IWC developed the Da Vinci, a mechanical chronograph with a perpetual calendar and a four-digit year display. With only 83 components, the groundbreaking movement allows you to set all the calendar functions—date, day, month, year, decade, century, millennium and phase of the moon—via the crown, an industry first. As you pull out the crown to set the date and time, the other displays automatically adjust. The movement powers IWC's latest pilot's perpetual calendar, the Spitfire Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month, which displays the date, month, and four-year leap-year cycle digitally in a nod to cockpit instrumentation.
Such elegant solutions have defined the oeuvre of Dr. Ludwig Oechslin, the independent visionary behind Ulysse Nardin's most complicated watches. His user-friendly design is the only perpetual calendar watch that adjusts forward and backward with the crown, even in the year 2100. The brand unveiled the patented Perpetual Ludwig watch in 1996 to mark the 150th anniversary of the company.
Oechslin's particular genius is the ability to devise such original, integrated concepts to solve complex watchmaking problems, rather than simply adding parts to correct for problems that arise. "I like to find the simplest solution—the less parts I need to make the same indication the better," he explains. "This is my goal, which is not always so impressive for the public, but it takes a lot more work." Oechslin's new Ochs und Junior collection applies his less-is-more philosophy with an "intuitive" calendar display composed of patterns of dots that require you to understand the system to read the date. "It appears more challenging, but it's actually a simple way to read a watch once you learn how to do it," he adds.

Quo Vadis, South Africa?
Quo Vadis, South Africa?
by Dr. Rolf D Baldus
South Africa has a rich history in wildlife conservation, having brought many species back from the brink of extinction with its unique wildlife ranching model. Studies show direct wildlife expenditure is in excess of R7 billion (nearly $1 billion) per annum, with substantial job creation. However, there is growing concern amongst South African game ranchers that some leading politicians in government circles and parts of the administration not only disregard the great biodiversity and economic achievements of the wildlife sector, but are actively trying to destabilize it. Last year the responsible minister compared game ranching with golf and remarked that they were only the hobby of rich whites. There are statements by government officials that game ranching is not a recognized land use and the land would be better used for growing mielies (corn) and potatoes. As such the land should therefore be expropriated for rural development. Such threats came as a shock to game ranchers and their staff and will endanger the credibility of South Africa as a reliable investment partner worldwide. At the same time, they show a lack of knowledge as most of these lands are not suitable for any sustainable form of agriculture or protein production in a viable commercial manner other than the rearing of wildlife.This article first appeared in the e-newsletter of African Indaba.

This spring I have got an offer to co-invest in a game farm in South Africa from my friend there. Price of the land was low compare to Europe, so in the first moment I was quite excited by this opportunity to connect my hobby with putting money in some safer place than shaky banks. But after reading several articles with Mr. Malema and several other high ranking ANC leaders political statements and opinions, I decided to let my money sleep in bank. This bank was in fact technically nationalized last year, but I can still withdraw and cash out my hard made money. I am not sure if Mr. Malema would let me do the same after his land reform he wants to start by seizing farms after the Soccer World Cup. Maybe I miss the investment opportunity of lifetime, would be nice to hear some other opinions especially from inside South Africa.

is sushi like salmon roses, salmon california roll etc classified as a body for life meal??
Or should this be saved for cheat days?
I love sushi as well :) The problem with sushi is the white rice, the mayo in the most of the rolls and the high levels of sodium in some of the dishes (like miso). However for the most part it is a really good meal. Many places are now offering sushi with brown rice. Another problem, at least for me, is portion control. Sushi is so good and it comes in nice bite sized pieces so it is easy to eat too much. :)
My husband was a high end sushi chef for 10 years so I'm happy to weigh in on this one. :) I'd recommend eating sushi made with brown rice and filled with fish + veggies only. Stay away from california rolls (the filling is fish cake + mayonnaise), philly rolls, crunchy rolls, crab rolls, and other fancy rolls like that. Better choices are maki rolls (fish or veg with less rice and the seaweed on the outside), hand rolls, nigiri sushi, and sashimi. Sashimi is a great way to get in your protein because eating too many rolls can put your carbs over the limit.
I'd also recommend you avoid fattier portions of fish, like toro, which is fatty tuna belly. And stay away from tilapia and freshwater eel. Both are farm-raised in China, have high cholesterol, are fed largely GMO corn and soy and generally are total garbage (all sushi restaurants use the same 1-2 distributors and don't get products that are any different from other places, unless they are super high end and getting fish flown in FedEx from Japan, but even then you never know on certain types of fish).
Good choices at sushi restaurants are maguro (tuna, but ONLY if the meat is ruby-red; if it's pink "sashimi grade" then it's been cold smoked using carbon monoxide and should always be avoided), shake (salmon), hamachi (yellowtail jack), kanpachi (amber jack), saba (mackerel), suzuki (sea bass), anago (sea eel), aji (Spanish mackerel), katsuo (bonito), hirame (halibut), tai (red snapper), and kohada (gizzard shad). Also, for sides, go for things like seaweed or cucumber salad, edamame without added salt (edamame is traditionally cooked in very salty water anyway), pickled plums, or fermented foods like natto or kim chi. They are gross but great for overall system support.
Hi there,
I like sushi mwseahorse thanks for the education great advice. Is sushi typically gluten free?

Survey toasts impact of Colorado brewers
Last Updated: 16:53 December 16, 2013
« Previous Image | Next Image »
On a per capita basis, only Oregon's craft brewers provided more impact in 2012. Colorado craft brewers pumped $1.6 billion into the state's economy.
"It speaks to Colorado as a brewing community," said Bart Watson, the Brewers Association's staff economist, "$1.6 billion is nothing to sneeze at."
The figures are derived from the total economic impact of craft beer as it moves from breweries to wholesalers to retailers, as well as the impact of non-beer products sold by brewpub restaurants.
California's craft brewers pump $4.7 billion into the economy there to top the list. Texas was second at $2.3 billion, followed by New York ($2.2 billion), Pennsylvania ($2 billion) and Colorado. When it comes to economic impact per resident age 21 and older, Oregon tops the list at $448.56, with Colorado second at $436.50. Colorado is the only state in the top five on both lists.
The state ranking is the most detailed the Brewers Association's analysis gets, though Watson said he's hoping to crunch the numbers more locally at some point as well, an area in which Boulder County figures to shine. The number of craft breweries in Boulder County is fast approaching 30.
"Obviously here in Boulder, per capita, there's an incredible number of breweries of many sizes, including some bringing significant economic impact to the area," Watson said.
Nationally, the Brewers Association pegged the craft brewing industry's total economic impact at $33.9 billion in 2012, when the organization reported 2,347 craft breweries operating in the United States. Those breweries sold 13.2 million barrels of beer with a retail value of $11.9 billion.
The Brewers Association numbers also showed that the industry contributed 360,000 jobs nationally, including 108,440 at breweries and brewpubs.
"With a strong presence across the 50 states and the District of Columbia, craft breweries are a vibrant and flourishing economic force at the local, state and national level," Watson said.
