CHICAGO — An upcoming Illinois Historic Preservation Agency meeting will explore possible options for including Chicago's Pullman neighborhood in the National Park System.The meeting of the preservation agency will take place Aug. 21 at the Pullman Factory Complex in Chicago.Agency officials say representatives from Sen. Dick Durbin's office and the National Park Service will discuss efforts to include the site and the surrounding neighborhood as a unit of the national parks. Members of Congress have introduced legislation adding Pullman to the park system, but supporters have wanted President Obama to act more quickly.The Pullman neighborhood began as company-owned housing for workers at the Pullman Palace Car Company. It was the first planned community of its kind and the site of a major workers' strike in 1894.

This listing is for the PDF PATTERN ONLY, not the finished product.
A lot of diapers are not so pretty to look at and rarely match a baby's outfit. Diaper covers are the answer to those woes! Diaper covers also add extra absorbency capacity of the diapers. Here is a pattern for you to crochet an adorable diaper cover wrap-over style diaper cover which is fastened by two buttons, which will make sure it stays put. Great photo-prop for those adorable baby photos! As with all my patterns, you have my permission to sell items made using the pattern. A mention of my shop/Facebook page would be greatly appreciated!
This pattern is very easy to follow, but a basic knowledge of crochet stitches is required. It is written using American stitch instructions, therefore you will need to adjust them for the UK or European stitches. However, once you get the hang of it, it is very easy to follow.
Instructions are provided for the size 0-3 months only
- 8 ply yarn (Double-knit)- 50g in main colour
- small amount of yarn in contrasting colour if desired. You can use main colour for the edging.
- 2 large buttons
- crochet hook size 4mm

ATLANTA - A Georgia man is claiming he was barred from a county courtroom because he refused to remove his Muslim headwear.
Troy "Tariq" Montgomery said Thursday that Henry County State Court Judge James Chafin blocked him from entering the courtroom to dispute a traffic ticket because he was wearing a kufi, a traditional Muslim head covering.
Montgomery said he was rejected despite a vote by the Judicial Council of Georgia in 2009 to allow headwear in court that is worn for religious or medical reasons. That move came after a Muslim woman was arrested by Douglasville authorities who said she refused to remove her hijab in a courtroom.

Staff a bar tender seem a bit amateurish but they had some great IPAs can. Id come back for a drink.
Bulk_Carrier (161) Lake Champlain, Vermont | June 20, 2015
Reviewed from notes. This was a good pub I stopped in a while ago, though fairly quiet that day, they did have good service. It was quite a clean place with a light to almost dim ambiance to it. My fish tacos were pretty good along with a Long Trail IPA, it hit the spot. The value seemed reasonable for the Waterbury area. I might go back when in Waterbury.
nate2g (1100) Boomtown!, Australia | May 14, 2015
A great pub to stop by when visiting the Waterbury beer establishments. The bartender was excellent and friendly patrons at the bar too so a few bonus points for that. The taplist is not as impressive as PP and Reservoir but still pretty damn tidy with local brews. This was the only bar I found cans of Focal Banger available so enjoyed a couple of those. I didnt eat but it looked a popular place for a meal. I enjoyed my time here.
nimbleprop (88) SouthWest, Washington, Washington DC | June 23, 2014
Stopped in for lunch on a Thursday since Pro Pig was closed for lunch that day. Food was decent and well priced. Staff was attentive. The tap list had maybe 12 items, some Zero Gravity, Long Trail, Heady Topper, etc. Not a bad little place, but unfortunately it wins a bronze medal on a block with Resevoir and Prohibition Pig.
cratez (256) Toronto, Ontario | October 20, 2013
When I visited: Late May 2013. What I had: Lost Nation Gose and Long Trail Brewmaster Series Double IPA on tap, tortilla chips and guacamole dip, Clifford Bay Sauvignon Blanc for my partner. What I liked: Laidback pub-meets-sports-bar vibe, respectable draught and bottle line-ups, good wine options, awesome patio overlooking Main Street, cordial and attractive waitress, tasty appetizer. What I disliked: Had to walk inside to see the tap list as there was no printed draught menu, bartender was less than welcoming, not a full-on beer bar like the other, better-known pubs in Waterbury. Would I go back? Most likely. Overall Rating: 74
Ed5388 (78) Forked River, New Jersey | August 3, 2013
Only place open at noon to grab a beer in the immediate area. Was pretty busy with a lunch crowd, but plenty of seats open at the bar. Decent selection of craft beer. Bartender was very nice. Overall was a nice place to kick off my trip.
rejtable (223) Ontario | April 2, 2013
Ended up in here when everything else in town was closed (at lunchtime on a weekday). Wasnt expecting much, but turned out that it was a great spot. Kinda "good time oldies" look inside, but with a dozen interesting taps (including DFH Burton Baton and Noble Rot) and some solid simple food I had a great lunch.
SFLpunk (11) Burlington, Vermont | June 13, 2009
Stopped in last week after playing frisbee golf in Waterbury Center. Great bottle list for a place that doesnt seem focused on "The Beer," at least not in appearances. Draft list was kinda wanky though. Settled on a pint of Rock Art Ridge Runner, not a typical call for me, but seemed to be the best thing on. Ordered the Salmon Burger. It was a bit overcooked (dry), but not bad. Server was funny, food was ok (not great), and my beer was served properly. Not a bad joint, but not really a beer destination. Its really not bad, but its really not great, either. Sorry mates.
jason (45) Easton, Pennsylvania | June 25, 2008
Stopped in for a quick lunch with the family. Nice little bar and restaurant that has a decent beer selection - small but decent.
josarah (122) Hinesburg, Vermont | February 27, 2008
Nice resturant next door to the Alchemist, Good place for a simple Sunday brunch, Ok beer selection. Nothing really wrong with it, the older & less beer savy crowd seems to enjoy it. Like I said to start with, The Alchemist is next door, point made.

1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera as reported by actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.Refine by vehicle
The outer tie rod ends on the steering linkage may wear causing excessive free play in the steering and uneven tire wear. If the worn tie rod ends are replaced, the wheel alignment should be checked and adjusted as necessary.
The steering rack may fail causing the steering to become hard to turn.
You may be able to prevent transmission problems by servicing the transmission and inspecting the fluid every 30,000 miles. If the fluid is dark or burned then the transmission system should be completely flushed.
Fuel injectors can short-circuit electrically causing a rougher than normal idle and reduced performance.
The inside door handle may break causing the door not to open from the inside.
A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. The engine may overheat as a result of the coolant loss. A leaking water pump should be replaced.
The fuel pump may fail causing engine to stall and not restart.
This engine may leak oil from the valve cover gasket.
Front brake rotors can wear causing a pulsation felt in the brake pedal. Our technicians tell us this condition is best corrected by replacement of the front rotors and brake pads.
A door window may move slowly or stop in mid travel due to a failing power window motor. The affected window may start working again after the motor cools off. Replacing the faulty window motor will commonly correct this concern.
The rubber section of an automatic transmission cooler line may develop a fluid leak . In some cases the leaking section of hose can be replaced. In others, the complete cooler line must be replaced to correct this concern.
The high pressure power steering hose will commonly leak fluid; it should be replaced.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) can fail causing stalling, and engine and transmission drivability concerns.
A ticking noise may develop from the engine due to a cracked exhaust manifold. Damaged exhaust manifolds will require replacement to correct this issue.

How can agencies show value, impact performance and become indispensable to clients? The first 90 days of a new client partnership set the stage, instill confidence in the agency-client relationship, and ensure a positive tone for the future of the account.
The objective for our first 90 days: accelerate our transition from a value consumer to a value contributor.
Often times, the agency-client relationship begins and ends with the value your team brings to the table. We all know it: those teams that produce amazing work, bring creative ideas to the table, and foster deep relationships built on a foundation of respect are invaluable.
So how can agencies put theory into action? How can we as business partners accelerate the time from value consumer to contributor? Below is an excerpt from a larger running list—Marketers: 101 Ways to Add Value—with tangible tips for making your team indispensable to your clients.Read More
Client calls, internal regroups, big idea brainstorms—we spend a lot of time in meetings.
While, ideally, each one would be carefully planned in advance to be impactful, this isn't always the case.
More than $37 billion in overhead is wasted each year in unproductive meetings. Even worse? This number continues to grow. Collectively, 15% of an organization's time is spent in meetings, a number that has increased every year since 2008, and employees say that only 45% of their time at work is spent completing primary job duties.
The solution? Get proactive about saving your agency money and your team time. Ahead of pinging your co-workers' inboxes and calendars with a meeting notice, draw up a robust agenda that prioritizes purpose-driven results and efficiency.Read More
Have you ever stopped to wonder what would happen if you had to step away from your agency for three months unexpectedly?
For some, I'm sure this brings images of the apocalypse. Perhaps you're the agency owner who has your hands in everything from operations to sales to account management, or maybe you're an account manager who prides yourself in your ability to tackle all client requests and projects singlehandedly.
And while some may view this irreplaceability as a badge of honor, the reality is that it's often a sign that they're failing to fulfill their most important role: leading.
The best leaders make themselves redundant. Here's why.Read More
After popping bottles of champagne or sparkling juice to ring in the New Year with zeal, many of us will commit to resolutions that we likely won't keep. I'm certainly guilty of this, and I'm willing to bet that many who read this are as well.
This year, instead of making resolutions I don't intend to keep, I am trying something new—focusing on mistakes. I made some big mistakes in 2014, but I'm taking the lessons I learned with me into 2015, and I hope you can do the same. I also invite you to share your own personal wisdom in the comments section below.Read More
This is a guest post from Chirag Ahuja (@ChiragAhujanz), head of marketing at WorkflowMax, a cloud-based agency management software.
A profitable agency is an efficient agency. As a service-based business, the speed at which high-quality work gets done and approved by the client has a significant impact on your overall profitably.
Regardless if your agency's pricing model is billable hours or value-based, time tracking should be an essential element to your project management process.
Armed with timesheet reports, you'll have access to the data required to effectively evaluate your agency's profitability across the following three key pillars.Read More

"What do you do?"
For those in the marketing agency world, it's a loaded question. At Inbound, Robert Solomon (@RJSolomon), author of The Art of Client Service and founder of Solomon Strategic, opened his session with an answer he'd often tell his mother: "Mom, I do lunch." Doing lunch means being there for clients, and getting the chance to build an actual relationship with them.
Yes, it's sometimes hard to describe "client services" amongst the continual flow of client strategy, production work (writing, social media, PR, design, etc.), measurement and account management. Yet, Robert's second response to the question offers a catchall glimpse: "We do the simple things necessary to help clients achieve their goals." During his presentation, Robert shared his thoughts on what's at the heart of client services.Read More
You've won the business, delivered awesome work, exceeded expectations, and built a great relationship with your main client contact. Next thing you know, a new president is announced, who decides to slash marketing budget, and your agency is kicked to the curb.
Sound familiar? Too many agencies find themselves in this position; pushed out when the going gets tough, run ragged reacting to ill-advised business strategies, or siloed delivering a particular service and unable to grow the account.
As Paul Roetzer (@paulroetzer) explains, "Growth is the easy part. Retaining it, and making it profitable, is the real challenge for agencies."
Part of the problem these agencies face is their marginalization within the client's organization. They simply don't have a seat at the table. Comparatively, other agencies are yoked with their clients, enjoying long-range strategies, acting as strategic marketing and business partners, and feeding off each other's success. How do they do it?Read More

Product Review (submitted on April 18, 2013):
I'm not a huge fan of green teas, but I really enjoy this one. It's fairly forgiving to make - you don't have to watch every second of the brewing. It's not bitter like some greens. It has a delicate spinach-ey flavor and marine-like aroma. I'm not getting much "thickness" like some greens, but it's still a lovely experience.

An auditor does significant legwork before starting field work. During the audit planning phase, he or she reviews the preliminary financials and compares the current year's results to last year and industry benchmarks. Here's a closer look at what happens behind the scenes — and why you might want to implement a similar approach internally.
Horizontal comparisons
Preliminary analytics start with a horizontal comparison. That is, auditors compare internally prepared financial statements for the current year to last year's audited results. Usually, changes are shown as a dollar amount and percentage.
The amount of change that warrants additional attention depends on the "materiality" threshold the auditor sets. For example, an auditor of a small business may decide to inquire about any line item that changes by, say, $10,000 or 10% and then possibly incorporate additional testing for questionable line items. A higher dollar amount threshold may apply for a larger company.
Vertical analysis
Accountants also may use a vertical or "common-size" approach when planning an audit. This technique shows each line item as a percentage of sales or total assets.
For example, a common-size income statement — which shows expenses as a percentage of sales — explains how each dollar of sales is distributed between costs, expenses and profits. Changes in a company's financial statements over time can highlight trends and operating inefficiencies that warrant closer scrutiny.
Additionally, auditors calculate ratios to capture the relationships between various items on a company's financial statements. For example:
Ratios are helpful when benchmarking a company against competitors (which may be bigger or smaller) or in comparison with industry averages. What's good or bad for a particular ratio depends on the industry in which the company operates.
Audit yourself
Significant variances from year to year and from industry norms can help auditors decide where to focus. Owners can adopt similar analytical procedures to anticipate the questions that will be asked during audit field work and improve audit efficiency.
More important, however, using a similar type of analysis in-house can help owners monitor the company's performance throughout the year and catch mistakes early. Contact Martha Fordfor a detailed explanation of how to think like an auditor and perform an interim financial analysis of your company.

Youth is cited by police after chase
BARRE Police say a 16-year-old has been issued a citation in connection with a police chase that ended in a crash in Barre Wednesday morning.
The individual, whose name has not been released by police, has been cited for attempting to elude, careless and negligent operation and aggravated assault on a police officer.
According to police, there was a report of some males in a white vehicle breaking into cars on Bugbee Avenue and Short Street. Upon arrival, police located a white Ford Escape with three males inside at the intersection of Maple Street and Seminary Street, and after the vehicle was pulled over, it fled the scene as police approached.
A pursuit ensued and the vehicle crashed near Boynton Street where the three males fled on foot. Police say a cellphone and wallet were found in the vehicle and from those items they were able to identify the individuals involved and contacted their parents.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The League of Women Voters of Vermont will be taking part in National Voter...

Between July 1, 1979, and March 15, 1981, there were 22 unsolved homicides and two unsolved disappearances of Atlanta children. Using epidemiologic methods, we attempted to identify factors that had put children at an increased risk of homicide. That all victims in this cluster were black, killed away from home, and that asphyxiation was overrepresented suggests that the cluster was discrete. The cluster was not homogeneous in relation to location of the victim's area of residence or location of the body; however, the median distance of 9.3 miles from home to body suggests that in some cases a motor vehicle was involved. A neighborhood-based study of the male victims and age- and sex-matched controls showed that victims more often ran errands for money (relative risk, 7.9) and were more often alone on the streets or in shopping centers; therefore, they may have been more approachable than other children in the neighborhood.

Just cloudy at my place right now.

Southeast Wisconsin 3 degrees below 0
Right now it isn't too bad at 20 degrees but the wind is rising and the temperature is falling. I'm in southern Michigan.
North central OK = 10 deg F
Eastern Washington State, +31F.
In Alabama it was 58 an hour ago. Now it's 43.
Maybe it's because the QB is a fudger, just sayin''
5 above, just NW of Chicago
My weather app says it's 73 degrees out right now, (18:27). Brrrr... :^)
Okay, it did get down to 48 last night. By Wednesday it's supposed to get down to 45. Now we're talkin' WINTER!
.... Gaaaaawd ... freezin my arse off ....... had to put on an extra layer of clothing (Long pants) .... cuz it just hit 68 degrees in SoCal (Southern California) now that the sun has set.
Minus 17 Minneapolis
1 degree British Columbia Canada. It sucks cause' there's no snow but I got a few ski and snowborad runs in at Whistler so it's all good LOL. Heading back to real weather in L.A. tomorrow...
-5°. Dry and cold.
65 degrees outside right now. We are in So. California. Got up to 78 degrees today.
60 degrees in Anaheim,CA. after a high of 83 with Santa Ana winds.But hey it's supposed to drop to the 70's.
Oh, and I forgot that wild wind at 0 mph not coming out of the..., well heck where is it NOT coming from.
So we've got a wind chill factor of 0 to subtract from that 73 degrees, so it feels like 73 out.
Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, north suburbia: 28 degrees right now (8:30PM Central Standard Time) and expected down to 19 degrees by early tomorrow AM.
-17 degrees near Minneapolis, MN. That isn't the windchill. The furnace doesn't shut off for very long.
Yes Green Bay loss sucks. The season was fun for me because my grand children 10 and 6 moved back to Wisconsin. Their parents lived out of the state for 15 years. I was in charge of turning them into cheeseheads.
The temperature in southwest Ohio right now has fallen to 32 and the rain is changing to snow. No wind yet.
Low tonight in central Illinois is supposed to be about fifteen below. This doesn't include the wind chill.
(balmy, compared to what's coming)
...about 15 inches of snow, and it's still coming down.
It's a balmy 38F and clear skies! Jupiter is in the SW part of the sky!

That's just mean. Anyone with a temperature above 10 degrees should be prohibited from posting on this thread! ;-)
Clear and 74 in Oceanside, CA
The boys here in Minneapolis who say such things say it's about -14 as we speak. They, with a capital "T" who say such things claim it will be about 25 below come sunup. I believe the last time this happened was circa 1997 or 1998. I remember that because my son was around 17 going on 18 and in the BSA. We were on a winter expedition.
28 degrees and still snowing in metro Detroit.
20-25 degrees with a wind chill to below zero. NE Mississippi. Mississippi.
SE Wisconsin — -17 with windchill (real feel) of -48.
Visited your state in late July when the temps were in the mid 80's. Y'all had a nice summer up there from what the locals were saying!
Wife was commenting it was 43 in Skagway today (we loved Skagway!) I told her we should move, it's warmer in Alaska than it is here. Love your state. I think Alaska's beauty is proof God exists.
43 here in Atlanta, supposed to start cooling rapidly and snow should start at around 3 this a.m. Low of around 5 tomorrow night.

I went to a district football race and a math problem broke out.
Well, it seems like that these days.
With the arrival of the final weekend of the high school district football races, the playoff destinies of many teams may come down to pen and paper.
It's called a tiebreaker point system.
Of course, this was bound to be the case when the University Interscholastic League decided a while back to play Santa Claus and go with a more-the-merrier playoff system that allows three teams into postseason play.
Back in the 1970s, life was rock-n-roll or disco. Life had simple playoff systems. If your team won district, your team was in the playoffs. If your team didn't win district, your team sat at home.
Now that was a little extreme.
I like two teams from each district in the football playoffs and one state champion in each class. But I have absolutely no say in the matter and must deal with the issue at hand.
The UIL, by golly, can sure clean up the confusion of tiebreakers across this state. Because of the current system of each district earning three playoff teams, drawing up tiebreaker scenarios are more popular in coaches offices these days than drinking coffee.
Explaining the tiebreaker system is another matter. This involves cloning one Albert Einstein, having three lawyers in the room to interpret, and then nodding your head, 'yeah, yeah' you understand, when you really don't have a clue.
Because of the wild Class 5A and Class 4A races this season in our area, the playoff futures are undecided today for Amarillo High, Tascosa, Borger, Hereford, Palo Duro, Pampa, Plainview and Randall.
Incredibly, five of those District 3-4A teams - Borger, Hereford, Palo Duro, Pampa and Randall - could end in a five-way tie for first place.
Those teams could have their playoff fate decided by a tiebreaker. This is where life really gets confusing. That's because each district has a different tiebreaker system.
District 3-5A has a positive only 15 point tiebreaker, meaning a loss is simply zero points. District 3-4A has a positive/minus 12 point tiebreaker. District 4-4A has a positive/minus 15 point system in place.
In these point systems, a team can earn that maximum amount of plus or minus points regardless of the score.
For instance, Tascosa beat Amarillo High 19-13 last weekend. Tascosa was awarded a plus six, while in the 3-5A system, AHS was given a zero.
The reason for this plus/minus number is good. That number avoids teams from running up the score to say 50-zip in order to win an unlimited point tiebreaker.
All three of the districts allow only the teams tied in the tiebreaker to figure in the mix.
This is good because some other districts in the state allow ALL teams in the district to participate in the tiebreaker.
Are you plumb confused?
Well, sit down and join the crowd.
We all know the UIL has a tough job. This is a big state and rules across the board - like no-pass, no-play - need to be put in place and held accountable from Happy to Harlingen.
That's why it's time for the UIL to step in and select one football tiebreaker for every district across the state. To me, a positive only 15-point system should be put in place.
It's simple.
If a team loses, they get a zero. If a team wins, they receive all margin-of-victory points up to 15.
New Mexico high schools once had district coaches break ties by a vote. Now New Mexico has one tiebreaker system in place - a minus/plus 13. That's fine with me. At least every coach, every player, and every fan know from day one, unlike in Texas.
Even if the UIL sees the light, one 15 positive tiebreaker system in place can still make for some unconventional football. Take those Tascosa Rebels.
The Rebs are currently 3-1 in District 3-5A. They play Lubbock Coronado (2-2) Friday night. If Amarillo High pulls off the expected and beats Lubbock High tonight, the Sandies district record goes to 3-2 and Tascosa's situation is this:
Tascosa is in the playoffs with a win over Coronado.
Tascosa is in the playoffs if it loses by five or fewer points to Coronado.
In other words, let's say Tascosa is at the Coronado 5-yard line with three seconds to play and trails Coronado by eight points.
If the Rebs kick a field goal, they lose by five points and make the playoffs. If the Rebs go for the touchdown and the chance for a two-point conversion to send the game into overtime, but fail, they lose the game and miss the playoffs.
"If we are going into the playoffs, we want to go in on a positive note," said Tascosa coach Ron Rogers. "If we are down to one last shot and line (Shaun) Massie up to kick a field goal and say we get beat, 8-3, and go to the playoffs. ...well, we can say that would be a positive note."
I'm positive about one thing.
No matter what playoff tiebreaker system is in place, with three teams going to the big dance each year, confusion can't be avoided.
But the amount of confusion sure could be if the UIL would come up with one state-wide tiebreaker.

Well I don't care much for Zelda's gameplay style in general, I found Zelda 2's different play style quite a lot more to my liking, I still think Zelda 2 has the best combat in the entire series (and on the NES as far as I'm aware).

OoT has a higher rating on Metacritic.
Metacritic also uses a weighted scale for its reviews. Sites like Gamestop and IGN factor more into reviews than smaller sites do, for the overall score. Don't believe me? Go read up on it in their FAQs page. "To put it simply, a METASCORE is a weighted average of reviews from top critics and publications for a given movie, TV show, video game, or album."
Gamerankings meanwhile treats every score equally, which gives you the true average of the scores from an aggregate standpoint.
Simply put, Gamerankings is more accurate, and what anyone interested in a game's reviews should be looking at. The only niche Metacritic serves is that it compares review scores for all types of media, not just one type.
nightScan is one of the greatest human beings on the planet.

What? That doesn't even make sense. The way the characters move in response to the control stick just sucks. I didn't mean the game HAS BAD CONTROLS, I meant that it CONTROLS BAD (poorly). Someone's mindedness has nothing to do with technically flawed inputs and physics. It DOES have something to do with falling for quantity>quality.
If you're going to try to "turn around" my argument and use it on me, then it should at least make sense.
Also, if you wanna talk about the actual layout and implementation, then let's! So... you're saying that somebody who's simple-minded can't alternatively press Lt and Rt to kill everything in sight?

Whitt's End: 11.6.09
Whether you're at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End:
*Haven't received a return call all week from Greg Williams, which is weird if not troubling. Something's up. Maybe he's merely at his vacation condo in Colorado and temporarily out of pocket. Or maybe there's something to the whispers about Hammer I'm hearing from mutual friends that include a possible recent arrest and/or two broken ankles. Developing ...
*Since Arbitron has turned stingy with the publishing of its detailed radio ratings, we'll have to generalize October's stats. 1. The Ticket. 2. ESPN Radio. 3. The Fan. There, I've already said too much.
*Not saying we've let our guard down, but there are no longer metal detectors at the entrances to American Airlines Center. Check that, we have let our guard down.
Upcoming Events
*In the spirit of the Cowboys' season-opening alternating of cornerbacks Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick, Mavs owner Mark Cuban will give behind-the-mic starts to P.A. candidates Michael Taylor and Sean Heath the next 10 games before making a final decision.
*There are 8th-graders in our midst who have never witnessed a Cowboys' playoff victory. Wow. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has overseen the most successful (three Super Bowls in four years) and most unsuccessful (13 years without a playoff win) stretches in franchise history. Question: Would you accept a Super Bowl win this season, if attached afterward was another 13 years without a post-season victory? I think you would. And I know there are 15 NFL teams out there that have never won a championship that would make that deal in a nano-second. Right, Philadelphia?
*The Texas Rangers hired Clint Hurdle to be their hitting coach. Yeah, that Clint Hurdle.
*I believe in JesusGodSanta, but sometimes just to trick it up I say "Praise Allah" when I make a long birdie putt or bank in a 3-pointer or beat my buddy at paper-rock-scissors. But after yesterday's events at Fort Hood I'm gonna stop. I'm not saying all Muslims are terrorists or all terrorists are Muslims, just saying the fact that Major Nidal Malik Hasan wrote "Allah" on his door sometime before killing 12 and injuring 31 prompts me to recalibrate some angles. Make sense?
*Despite the fact that he's 27-12 and has the best winning percentage (.692) of any head coach in franchise history, I still believe that anything short of a Super Bowl victory and Wade Phillips is Dead Man Coaching.
*Can't believe it's a been a year already since we elected Barack Obama as President. I'm better off than in November 2008. You?
*With a $200 million payroll, it should only be historic when the New York Yankees don't win the World Series. Really, so your $50,000 Mercedes is faster than my $20,000 Hyundai? Shocker.
*Martellus Bennett: 9 catches. 4 holding penalties. So far, Marty B ovehyped.
*Eagles 27, Cowboys 24.
*If we somehow live past Dec. 21, 2012, I wonder if we'll unearth some Mayan calendar post-it note and find an edict that decrees nobody named Roy Williams will ever succeed as a Dallas Cowboy?
*I'm out at Texas Motor Speedway today broadcasting live from the site of Sunday's Dickie's 500 and Sunday I'll be with Jagger and Larry Brown on 105.3 The Fan's Dallas Cowboys pre-game show 4-7 p.m. from Duke's Original Roadhouse in Bedford. Don't be a stranger.

By Nancy Weil, IDG News Service
June 14, 2005 | Dharmacon is providing its genome-wide short-interfering RNA (siRNA) library to Millennium Pharmaceuticals. According to Dharmacon, this is the first commercial siRNA collection that targets genes across the entire human genome, encompassing some 22,000 genes.
Millennium will use the library in high-throughput functional genomic studies aimed at identifying and validating novel drug targets. (Millennium declined to comment about the deal with Dharmacon or its plans for using the library.)
"One of the things we've always wanted to do is to go about changing the way people do science and medicine," says William Marshall, Dharmacon's executive vice president of research and operations. The Millennium deal will help the Lafayette, Colorado-based Dharmacon toward that goal, he says, noting that his company is "really excited" to be providing a library that covers the entire human genome.
The library was developed using Dharmacon's proprietary SMART selection and SMART pool technologies, which are employed to develop gene-silencing reagents. The library has been in the works since late last year.
The agreement between Millennium and Dharmacon, however, is not exclusive. "We really want to get [the library] into the hands of many researchers," Marshall says, adding, "We plan on being very aggressive in identifying additional opportunities where people would want to work with the entire genome."
Dharmacon's new reverse transfection screening technology is part of that push. The product line simplifies the handling of molecules and covers 26 target sets, including the human genome and 7,300 druggable genes.
In other recent RNAi news, Sirna Therapeutics, based in Boulder, Colorado, has presented encouraging data from its phase I trial for Sirna-027, an siRNA treatment for age-related macular degeneration (see "Running Interference," December 2004 Bio•IT World, page 22). One of Sirna's clinical investigators, Edwin Quinlan of the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins University, reported that Sirna-027 — the first chemically optimized siRNA to be tested on humans — appears so far to be safe and well tolerated with no systemic or local adverse reactions related to its use.

How did your relationship change after living together?

Ours got better, though it didn't always seem that way. It was an adjustment for both of us. Probably moreso for him, because I'm only the second girl he's lived with, and he basically went from living alone/with roommates and being a "single" guy, to living with a family and having to be a father figure to my child.

We have definitely had our ups and downs, mostly due to spending a lot of our living together time living with his dad and step-mom (including moving out of there, having a baby, and then having to move back in...don't even get me started on all that), but now that we are finally on our own, for good, I feel like our relationship has gotten better and more comfortable. Sure, we have our rough times, but I think you are going to have that when you are in a serious, committed relationship regardless of whether or not you are living together.
Ours got a lot better, we were seperated by many miles before we did. Don't get me wrong, it was perfect, but DH and I aren't really fighters. We discuss issues and then each work on it. We also made a promise to never go to bed angry and I think that helped keep small things from becoming big problems.

'Oh, our defensive back was stopped by the Oregon State Police for driving 114 miles per hour in a Nissan Altima? Well, your defensive back was stopped for doing 104 in a Nissan Altima too, and then he got in a scuffle with a bouncer.' 'Hey, your defensive back could have killed somebody when he ran over that bus stop on a vacant street at 2 a.m. with nobody in sight -- so that trumps our kicker being arrested twice for DUI and remaining on the team because at least he didn't harm an innocent bus stop.'
I'm sure this isn't going to be well-received in some quarters. I might get some hate mail from someone who lost a loved one to a drunk driver, to someone driving way over the speed limit, to someone who was the victim of an assault -- or Dear Lord forbid, someone who was victimized by a roving band of golf cart thieves.
But pardon me if my response to all of this recent hullabaloo about Malcolm Marable and Ryan Murphy is to stifle a yawn.
Or even a chuckle.
BECAUSE WHEN I was 19 years old, I certainly never tried to get into a bar with someone else's ID. I never ran any stoplights right in front of a police officer, (sideways, no less). And I absolutely positively did not inhale even once during my college years. So the view is just fine from this high horse as I explain that Oregon State student-athletes represent the Institution must be held to a higher standard.
And I've got more righteous indignation for you. I will not have my sport populated by these ruffians. I expect the players who are fortunate enough to receive a full college education, (while they generate millions in revenue for others while sometimes living at or near the poverty line) to be reckless, violent, and full of fury -- but only between whistles and on the gridiron. I expect them, nay demand, for them to be perfect schoolboys the moment they set foot off of the field of play.
I'd like to continue but my sarcasm meter just exploded. So let me be serious for a moment.
THESE ARE THE times it has to be tough to be Mike Riley. In all reality, Marable being busted twice in such a short time frame is going to be received poorly by any- and everyone in Beaver Nation and I have to think he is looking -- at the very least -- at a multiple game suspension.
I'm pretty sure there remain some pre-set guidelines put in place a few years back at Oregon State that are going to point to Ryan Murphy getting a one-game suspension.
Riley is sure to look each one of them in the eye and tell them that he's sorely disappointed in them, and to remind them they DO in fact represent the University, that they are under the microscope.
BUT WHO ELSE other than me wonders if this is the type of thing that should be handled with running stairs, until you puke, and with Coach Cav barking at you the entire time. You know, like it almost certainly would have been handled before every speeding ticket was exposed to the light of day in blinding speed on the interwebs and throughout the media?
But on the bright side, I suppose, if none of these types of incidents happened at Oregon State or Oregon, then Oregonian columnist John Canzano wouldn't have a job and we wouldn't be able to experience his particular brand of moral outrage.
Oh wait, that's the opposite of the bright side.

Prof. Ehab Abouheif, Dept. of Biology and a research team investigated which genes were being expressed during the development of antennae in male water striders. The antennae are used to grasp the females during mating. They then modified gene expression to see how this would be expressed in antennae development and success in mating. By doing so they were able to watch evolution in action.

Darwin in the genome
A current controversy raging in evolutionary biology is about whether adaptation to new environments is the result of many genes, each of relatively small effect, or just a few genes of large effect. A new study published in Molecular Ecology by McGill biologist Andrew Hendry and a colleague from Basel University strongly supports the first "many-small" hypothesis.

A World of UnderinvestmentThursday, May 28, 2015
When World War II ended 70 years ago, much of the world – including industrialized Europe, Japan, and other countries that had been occupied – was left geopolitically riven and burdened by heavy sovereign debt, with many major economies in ruins. One might have expected a long period of limited international cooperation, slow growth, high unemployment, and extreme privation, owing to countries' limited capacity to finance their huge investment needs. But that is not what happened. Read more »

We also have an exciting update about the CommuniTrees Partner Program with iTrees.com! Purchases from the program last year have already begun to benefit the streets of Coal City! On this Arbor Day Spring Grove Nursery & iTrees.com will be using the trees earned through the CommuniTrees Partner Program to replant Broadway Street. We will be donating & planting trees along the stretch of Broadway that used to be lined with so many beautiful big trees. Once again, you will begin to see some new life rise up & grace your city streets.
Arbor Day Celebration Coal City 2016
That old spot might not be the best spot
July 31, 2016
Once it was a favorite tree. Now it's just a pile of wood chips where a stump was ground out.
Many homeowners are eager to replace a tree that had to be removed because of emerald ash borer or other causes. But don't rush to replant in the same spot, said Meghan Midgley, soil scientist at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle. "That's not likely to be the best place for your new tree to succeed," she said. Wood chips are not the right environment for tree roots, she said. They won't provide enough structure to anchor the tree. As they decay, the tree will sink. And new roots are likely to keep circling within the loose zone of wood chips, where it's easy to find gaps, instead of pushing out into the soil where they need to go. READ MORE
Arbor Day is Coming Up!
April 14, 2016
National Arbor Day is coming up Friday April 29! Arbor Day was founded by J. Sterling Morton in 1872 and is celebrated every spring around the world. The idea for Arbor Day originally came from Nebraska. A visit to Nebraska today wouldn't disclose that the state was once a treeless plain. Yet it was the lack of trees there that led to the founding of Arbor Day in the 1800s. Among pioneers moving into the Nebraska Territory in 1854 was J. Sterling Morton from Detroit. He and his wife were lovers of nature, and the home they established in Nebraska was quickly planted with trees, shrubs and flowers.
