http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/theda...ll/#more-20034�I think the axiom that you go by in scouting is you like to see a quarterback with 30 starts under his belt before he�s ready to play, and we kind of violated that, our principle,� Ireland said.
Yeah, its the exact opposite...but he also stated it went against his professional principles. Which is more likely, that he will consistently go against his professional principles or he will go back to said principles for other positions? Its important to note that Ross was pressuring him(even bringing it up in public) to land a franchise quarterback.

If you don't want to feel to bad just consider anything they say as political talk and wait until after FA and the draft to see who is actually on the roster before you get too excited/disappointed.
Olinemen can be found in later rounds. Skill players must be taken early. I dunno, it's all a gamble. Thomas not worth a 2, Egnew not worth a 3, Bess worked out great. Educated gambling.
JI has to hit aquauns for his job and the fans sake.
Welcome back Mr. Wake
The issue I have with this whole discussion is the following: Ireland has been here for five years as our GM, a period of time that most objective observers would say is adequate for any good general manager to rebuild a roster and make it competitive with the best in the league. Now we are here in his sixth draft and sixth period of free agency and we still have nine or ten starting positions on the team that require upgrade before we can be considered to be realistically competitive for a trip to the Super Bowl. Think about that deeply for a moment. He has had five years to turn this ship around and almost half the starting lineup still requires upgrades to be competitive with the best of the league. In my opinion, if that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about Ireland's stewardship of our beloved Dolphins then nothing will.
So, does anyone have any plan that is more realistic than the odds of hitting the Powerball for how Ireland can update all nine to ten starting positions that need upgrades in one draft and free agent season? I want us to be Super Bowl competitive in 2013, not 2023.

This little ship looks pretty detailed and a replica on the quality scale of even Master Replicas.
I'm thinking the Code 3 Falcon is something I'd definitely want, so long as I can afford the price.
As to starting a collection of ships from Code 3?
I'd know I'd think about going for:
The Blockade Runner
A Star Destroyer
An AT-AT
A Republic Gunship
A Mon Calamari Cruiser - especially Home One
A Republic Cruiser
A Republic Destroyer
The Queen's Royal Starship
The Medical Frigate
The Executor
But the Millennium Falcon sure tops my list.
MicroMachines' Action Fleet covers most of these ships nicely, but some could just be done way too awesome by Code 3. Probably capital ships mostly, to generalize.
Maybe displaying Code 3's to scale with other Action Fleet ships would make a nice display? AF does a great job on the fighters, right?
Just a thought.
What do you guys think about that Falcon?

By Kevin Tate/Outdoors Writer
What whitetails eat is far more important than their pedigree when it comes to reaching maximum potential, preliminary findings from a study by Mississippi State University are indicating.
Biologists at MSU have been researching whitetail deer for many years and their latest study comparing genetics and nutrition is yielding some surprising results. Eric Michel, a graduate student and researcher on the project led by Dr. Steve Demaris and others, presented preliminary findings at the Calhoun County Wild Game Tasting Banquet in Pittsboro on Monday night.
The program, which uses the university's whitetail captivity facilities, is an 8-year study that has been tracking sets of deer brought in from the coast, from the middle of the state and from the delta and comparing the development of their body mass and antler size over time. The three sets of deer are kept separate from one another but are otherwise fed identical diets and offered the same access to water and shelter.
Michel cautioned the findings are still preliminary, but results from the study underway since 2005 seem to show, at least within the span of deer found inside the confines of the state of Mississippi, nutritional improvements can lead herds of traditionally smaller-bodied and smaller-antlered deer to completely catch up to their larger cousins, though it takes more than one generation to do so.
generation gap
The first generation of bucks in the study exhibited the size differences you'd expect to see – delta deer grew antlers on average 24 total inches larger than coastal deer, with mid-state deer falling in between.
Body sizes of delta deer far outstripped the other two. Two generations later the antler measurements were effectively identical and the gap in body mass had been greatly reduced as well.
What the study shows, other than the direct relation of body and antler mass to nutrition, is that nutritional improvement can't be expected to be a quick fix. While growing better food for deer leads to larger animals and bigger racks in the long run, you can't plant a new food plot this summer and expect to see bigger antlers this fall.
"We're finding the nutritional state of the mothers can permanently affect their fawns," Michel said. A doe that has had fewer nutritional advantages will give birth to fawns that cannot grow up to be as large as those birthed by does in better nutritional circumstances. Those fawns, however, can mature and give birth to others with more potential of their own.
Michel also discussed the harvest of "cull bucks" as a method of herd improvement, noting that while it has some advantages, the improvement of genetics is not one of them.
"Because 50 percent of any buck's genes come from its mother," Michel said, "and since there's no way to know the pedigree of the does in any wild herd sample, managing for genetics is an impossibility."
Nutrition and management of herd size are the most productive paths to follow, he said.
"On average, a whitetail will eat 6 pounds of food per day," Michel said. "The more you limit the number of deer you have eating the available food, the less stressed the herd will be from a nutritional standpoint."

Rita Herron wrote her first mystery novel when she was 12 years old, but she grew up in a small Southern town (in a low-income family) and didn't think "real" people became writers. So it wasn't until her midlife crisis years later that she actually pursued publication.
Before she put pen to paper, she taught kindergarten for 10 years. Finger painting, puppet shows, and storytelling with imaginative five-year-olds made her yearn to do more with her creative edge, and she began by writing children's stories. Using a variety of props, she performed stories for kids at bookstores, libraries, and schools.
When summer came, she was bombarded with three bored kids of her own (and a house full of pets). In a desperate attempt to keep her own children occupied and maintain her sanity, she searched for a book on summer activities for kids. The bookstores were lacking, so she wrote it herself! Her summer project turned into her first book, entitled Surviving Summers with Kids: Fun Filled Activities for All.
Once Rita read her first romance novel, she was hooked. So she told her family she was leaving the finger painting, the puppets, and the minivan behind, to write adult fiction. Since then she has sold 12 books, and recently won the Maggie Award for her 1999 Harlequin Intrigue title, Her Eyewitness.

South Sudan: Delivering aid at the heart of the conflict
Takesure Mugari has been working for OCHA in South Sudan for the past three years. Since the outbreak of conflict in mid-December, he has stayed alongside 9,000 people huddled for safety inside a UN peacekeeping base in Bor, in the eastern state of Jonglei.
Fighting has ravaged South Sudan for the past four weeks, forcing over half a million people to flee their homes. Thousands are estimated to have been killed and fighting quickly spread to six of the country's 10 states.
The crisis came on top of an already difficult humanitarian situation. An estimated 4.4 million people were already in need of humanitarian assistance before the fighting. Over 188,000 people had been displaced by earlier violence in 2013, particularly in Jonglei State.
The epicentre of tensions
The eastern state of Jonglei has been at the epicentre of the fighting, with Government and opposition forces battling to control the capital, Bor. Fierce clashes over the past month have led to tens of thousands of civilians fleeing the state. An estimated 9,000 people have sought shelter at the UN peacekeeping compound in Bor town.
OCHA's Mugari was in Bor when fighting broke out and since then has been at the forefront of relief efforts to help civilians trapped by the hostilities.
"Our job is to coordinate the delivery of food and water to people in need, including those sheltering in the UN compound," he said. "But it hasn't been easy. Moving food from a warehouse just 40 minutes away took us 10 days because of the gunfire."
Aid bases looted and destroyed
Aid workers took advantage of the lull in hostilities last week to deliver food to the people in the base, including flying in much-needed water and sanitation supplies to construct toilets – a key step to preventing disease outbreaks.
However, insecurity continues to pose the biggest challenge to aid efforts in Jonglei State. Fighting has prevented aid workers from reaching people in need. Outside the peacekeeping base, all other UN and NGO compounds in Bor town have been looted and destroyed, depleting stocks of relief items. Similar looting has been reported in other parts of the country.
The aid community has suffered direct casualties from the fighting. At least three relief workers were killed by unidentified armed actors during the first week of the conflict. Many more have been wounded or remain missing. South Sudanese aid workers have been badly affected, with many of them among the civilians sheltering in UN bases around the country, or fleeing elsewhere.
A quarter of a million have received aid
"The moment I remember being most scared," reflects Takesure, "was after five mortars landed inside the UN base and we were told gunship helicopters were flying in from the capital to launch airstrikes.
"In the end, the UN compound was not attacked. We were lucky."
Following the outbreak of violence, the humanitarian community quickly launched a large-scale aid operation to respond to people in need. Within days of the crisis breaking out, relief organizations were mobilizing medical assistance, clean water and food.
Since then, over 250,000 people have been reached with some kind of support. But aid groups say that more needs to be done to scale up the response operation. With new pockets of displacement reported daily, aid agencies are doing their utmost to assess the situation and respond to needs across the country.
$209 million to address immediate needs
The South Sudan Crisis Response Plan was launched on 31 December, appealing for US$209 million to meet the most immediate needs of the crisis between January and March. As of 13 January, aid agencies had secured around $109 million of the immediately requirements for the emergency response.
Takesure is about to return to Zimbabwe for a week to see his family. He considers his return to South Sudan: "I have lived through some of the worst moments of the fighting so far. But I am committed to returning.
"We all need to stand alongside South Sudan in its greatest hour of need, to do what we can, and hope the political solution that has come will end the nation's suffering."

The train ride ended up being the longest train ride of my life... 20 hours to be exact. There is so much to talk about... so much to say...
Well to begin. NOTHING HAPPENED... at all. no, really. Everything looked like southern Illinois, very rural, and very white with snow. However, I loved the fact that this train was packed and there was never a missed opportunity to people watch. There were alot of young people on the train, mostly my age, some older. It felt like a college train... everyone was heading back to school and away from their friends and family. As I watched some of these students, I realized that many of them probably do this every time they travel to school. They had a book out and patiently waited until they got through the 20 hours. Some talked about their previous trips, while others gave advice to fellow students who were making the trip for the first time. There was one couple in particular that caught my interest. It was an older couple... around their late 60's who sat down in the same lounge car. The wife kept pointing out various artifacts and buildings outside the window and I was curious as to what their story was. The lounge car attendant finally asked them where they were from and they said Chicago. They were taking a "loop" trip. I immediately thought of my parents because I could see them taking the same exciting adventure together. The "loop" trip consisted of taking the Amtrak all the way around the United States and getting off at certain cities. Their loop included stops in Boston, NY, Georgia, Florida, Arizona, California, so on and so forth. AMAZING! Considering that this single trip was 20 hours... I can't imagine how many hours this couple would have to spend together the entire journey! Anyway, watching them made me feel more excited about my own trip and I couldn't wait to get to NYC!

City Council Meetings
The City Council welcomes your attendance and participation at its meetings. The council meets on the first four Mondays (Tuesday if Monday is a holiday) of each month at City Hall, 450 110th Ave. NE. Comments from the public are welcome during the "Oral Communications" portion of the agenda and during public hearings. "Addressing the City Council" offers details about the process.
Council meetings are broadcast live on Bellevue Television (cable channel 21). Video of the meetings can be viewed any time online from Bellevue TV.
Study Sessions
In study sessions, city staff presents the council with detailed briefings on a variety of issues. Council members discuss various topics, ask questions and give staff direction on how to proceed. On the second and fourth Mondays, when the council meets for four hours, public comment is taken during oral communications at the beginning of the meeting.
Regular Sessions
During its regular sessions, the City Council can take action in several ways. The council may adopt an ordinance or city law. Ordinances usually take effect five days after their publication in the city's official newspaper, the Seattle Times. Most ordinances become part of the city's municipal code. The council may amend or repeal an ordinance by adopting another ordinance.
The council may also pass a resolution to express policy direction or make a public statement. The council passes a motion to approve or deny a proposed action, such as the award of a bid.
The agenda also contains a consent calendar, which includes routine business items for which no special study or discussion is expected. Council members may remove items from the consent calendar for discussion if they choose.
At regular sessions, you may speak to the council during the oral communications opportunities at the beginning and end of the agenda. You may also address the council during public hearings, which are held during the regular sessions.
Executive Sessions
The council does occasionally meet in executive session, which is not open to the public. By law, the council can only discuss certain items of business during executive sessions. These topics include personnel matters, property acquisition and disposition, and legal advice on matters of litigation or potential litigation.
Quasi-judicial Matters
Public comments are not taken on quasi-judicial matters, where Councilmembers act in the role of judges. These are most often land-use matters. The Council is legally required to decide the issue based solely upon information contained in the public record and obtained at special public hearings before the Council.
The public record for quasi-judicial matters is developed from testimony at earlier public hearings held before a Hearing Examiner or a city board or commission, as well as from written correspondence submitted within certain legal time frames. There are special guidelines for these public hearings and written submittals.

|Ocean Flyfishing for Salmon Perhaps the most under-rated fishery in the world
|Topic Review (Newest First)
LOL Sean
Been there myself. I think the first few years my kids were really little was the least fishing I did. Probably because my ex had NO mother skills, and don't know if the kids would've been here if I didn't stay home more (why I have full custody of the kids now).
Your days will come. Then they will be your fishing buddies. Mine are dying for me to take them out. Hopefully soon. But will wait when good #'s are in and have access to a boat (since all my good motor boats are gone). But, in the end, they'll make your fishing better.
Leland you are killing me!!! It is looking like I may not even get a chance to fish the migration this year. Did not know babies were so much work.
OC let me know if you need/want any company chasing those silvers next month.
I have a Meiser 10'6" switch rod being built for overhead casting that is gonna be a terror on the fish. I will be itching to try out in a few weeks.
I am also looking forward to the unveiling of the miyawaki beach tamer Juro has in the works. Next year to fish are not gonna have a chance.
You just got to get those rods up and running. I bet within 5 years they will be common place out here but I want one soon at least for next year. Get the revolution going and good luck in doing so!
Been waiting for the entire Hood Cannal to open and the silvers to move south of the bridge, rain please. Spotted just one school of silvers in the last 3 weeks whacking bait. Pinks moving south in their usual way.
And it sounds like the popper man knows how to have fun where ever he fishes.
Sounds like a BLAST! I had to make a similar pirouette recently at the boneclave at the hands of a large king or spanish (looked too big for spanish) on the larger cousin of the "Leland" beach rod.
I've got the all-arounder prototype in hand, a 10'8" 9/10wt. Next will be the puget sound model. Sounds like we need to speed up the prototype process for ya!
|Leland Miyawaki
A 3-Star Day in Area 9
Five of us had a terrific morning fishing through the minus low near PNP. One of us (guess who) fished a popper and the other four switched back and forth from the dark side to the "enlightened" side. It's hard to tell how many follows the others were getting down below but I had all the excitement my little heart could take.
I used a 10' Scott 8wt today. I was getting out there but I sure wished I had a new CND two-handed "Puget Sound Beach Rod" with a floating head. I fished a slow two-handed retrieve punctuated by little hops. As soon as I picked up a follow, I hopped, gurgled, stopped, sped up, slowed and sped up again all the way in to the rod tip. The takes were close in and the coho were all between 4 and 6 pounds. They cartwheeled into the air almost instantly and a few jetted between us back towards the beach which required a 180 degree pirouette. Pretty fun stuff while it lasted.

Exercises for Sciatic pain from Piriformis Syndrome
Sciatica is a symptom. It consists of leg pain, which might feel like a bad leg cramp, or it can be excruciating, shooting pain that makes standing or sitting nearly impossible.
The pain might be worse when you sit, sneeze, or cough. Sciatica can occur suddenly or it can develop gradually.
- Pain in the rear or leg that is worse when sitting
- Burning or tingling down the leg
- Weakness, numbness, or difficulty moving the leg or foot
- A constant pain on one side of the rear
- A shooting pain that makes it difficult to stand up
Sciatica usually affects only one side of the lower body. Often, the pain extends from the lower back all the way through the back of the thigh and down through the leg. Depending on where the sciatic nerve is affected, the pain may also extend to the foot or toes.
For some people, the pain from sciatica can be severe and debilitating might include the inability to bend your knee or move your foot and toes.. For others, the sciatica pain might be infrequent and irritating, but has the potential to get worse.
Causes of Sciatic Pain:
- Slipped Disc: In majority of cases sciatica is caused by a herniated or "slipped" disc. This is when one of the discs that sit between the bones of the spine (the vertebrae) is damaged and presses on the nerves.
- Spondylolisthesis (a condition in which one vertebra slips forward over another one)
- Other causes include spinal stenosis (narrowing of the nerve passages in the spine), a spinal injury or infection, or a growth within the spine (such as a tumor).
- Other things that may make your back pain worse include being overweight, not exercising regularly, wearing high heels, or sleeping on a mattress that is too soft.
- Piriformis Syndrome: It is referred as neuritis of branches of the sciatic nerve caused by pressure of an injured or irritated piriformis muscle. Symptoms associated with piriformis syndrome typically consist of buttock pain that radiates into the hip, posterior aspect of the thigh, and the proximal portion of the lower leg.
- Piriformis syndrome typically does not result in neurological deficits such as decreased deep tendon reflexes and myotomal weakness.
Sciatica is diagnosed with a medical history and physical exam. Sometimes X-rays and other tests such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are done to help find the cause of the sciatica.
- X-ray- to look for fractures in the spine
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan - to create images of the structures of the back
- Nerve conduction velocity studies/electromyography - to examine how well electrical impulses travel through the sciatic nerve
- Myelogram using dye injected between the vertebrae - to determine if a vertebra or disc is causing the pain
Primary treatment consists of self-care and non-surgical strategies. The aim is to correct the underlying problem, restore function and prevent re-occurrence.
- Self-Care: Sciatica may resolve with rest, ice or heat, massage, pain relievers and gentle stretches. Muscle inflammation and pain can be reduced by application of an icepack for 20 minutes several times a day during the initial 2-3 days. Thereafter a hot pad may be applied to relax muscles. If the self-care exercises aren't working within the first couple of days you must consult your doctor.
- Medication: Over the counter Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can bring pain relief. Muscle relaxants may be prescribed for spasms.
- Physiotherapy: A normal schedule is recommended physical therapy can help you return to full activity as soon as possible and prevent re-injury. Physiotherapists will show you proper lifting techniques / postures, walking techniques, exercises to stretch and strengthen your back muscles.
- Massage, ultrasound, diathermy, heat and traction may also be recommended for some time.
What Is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes scaling and inflammation (pain, swelling, heat, and redness). Skin cells grow deep in the skin and slowly rise to the surface. This process is called cell turnover, and it takes about a month. With psoriasis, it can happen in just a few days because the cells rise too fast and pile up on the surface.
Most psoriasis causes patches of thick, red skin with silvery scales. These patches can itch or feel sore. They are often found on the elbows, knees, other parts of the legs, scalp, lower back, face, palms, and soles of the feet. But they can show up other places such as fingernails, toenails, genitals, and inside the mouth.

Who Gets Psoriasis?
Anyone can get psoriasis, but it occurs more often in adults. In many cases, there is a family history of psoriasis. Certain genes have been linked to the disease. Men and women get psoriasis at about the same rate.
What Causes Psoriasis?
Psoriasis begins in the immune system, mainly with a type of white blood cell called a T cell. T cells help protect the body against infection and disease. With psoriasis, T cells are put into action by mistake. They become so active that they set off other immune responses. This leads to swelling and fast turnover of skin cells. People with psoriasis may notice that sometimes the skin gets better and sometimes it gets worse. Things that can cause the skin to get worse include:
- Infections
- Stress
- Changes in weather that dry the skin

Patients having chronic nasal problems along with sinusitis often complains of headache.
They most of the time describe the headache as throbbing pain in the cheek bones, over nasal bridge and over the forehead. Which sometimes exacerbates after sudden change in position or straining.
These headaches can be confused with the migraine and hence complete examination and determining the cause of headache is very necessary.
Now what exactly leads to sinus headache. It is the sinus infection or the nasal infection or the allergy leading to congestion in the nose and the draining pathways of the sinuses causing accumulation of the fluid. This fluid in turn causes pressure and inflammation of sinuses, leading to headache.
Sometimes this fluid can get secondarily infected and then patient may experience fever, body pain etc.
Treatment for this headache is just relieve the congestion of nose and form a patent channel for the sinus fluid to drain.
This will include medications like antibiotics, antihistamines, decongestant, nasal local decongestants. Steroid sprays etc. The treatment is tailor made according to the symptoms.
Home remedies include inhaling the steam.
The bottom line is to differentiate the headache cause complete examination and sometimes investigations like ctscan or x-rays are also required and hence we should get ourselves completely evaluated and then start the medication.

Doppler Radar Images
Just below the National Weather hazards link (see arrow) is a link to doppler radar images from across the country. Doppler radar systems (such as the WSR-88D) detect and locate precipitation as do conventional radars. However, Doppler systems also provide information regarding the movement of targets.
When the WSR-88D transmits a pulse of radio waves, the system keeps track of the phase (shape, position, and form) of the transmitted radio waves. By measuring the shift in phase between a transmitted pulse and a received echo, the target's radial velocity (the movement of the target toward or away from the radar) can be calculated.
The end result is high resolution radar images that enable National Weather Service forecasters to provide faster and more accurate weather warnings. You can view some of these images at any one of 155 radars nationwide. Below the maps are thumbnail images of regional composites. These composite images are also clickable so you can drill down to the local Doppler radar of interest.
These radar pages also display any severe weather warnings over the radar images.

Ford Hits Rock Bottom in Consumer Reports Reliability Survey Thanks to MyFord Touch

Woes blamed on less than stellar DCT shifting and MyFord touch
After years of being ranked as one of the most reliable automakers in the industry, Ford's recent use of in-car infotainment systems have caused it to plummet in quality rankings.
Consumer Reports
indicates that only a couple years ago Ford was in the top 10 among brands in its predicted reliability scores with over 90% of its models being average or better. However, in the most recent
Consumer Reports
reliability scores, Ford has dropped to number 27 out of 28 in the survey.
Studies from JD Power
have also noted a drop in Ford's ranking.
Japanese automakers are taking advantage of Ford's decline with Scion, Toyota, and Lexus sweeping the top three spots. Those three Toyota brands were followed by Mazda, Subaru, Honda, and Acura with all models produced by the top seven brands offering average or better reliability.
Multiple factors contributed to Ford's significant decline in
Consumer Reports
Consumer Reports
shown no love for Ford's MyFord Touch technology
and its survey participants obviously agree. Several of Ford's new vehicles -- including the
, and
-- had more problems than normal according to
Consumer Reports
. Another significant contributing factor to Ford's decline in the rankings is three of its historically reliable models, the Escape,
, and
Lincoln MKZ
are not included in the current analysis because they were all redesigned for 2013.
MyFord Touch
Consumer Reports director of testing Jake Fisher notes that despite attempts to improve MyFord Touch, the system, which is featured in many Ford vehicles, continues to confuse customers. Fisher also says that customers continue to
complain about rough shifting on Ford six-speed dual-clutch PowerShift transmissions
"They've put out some updates to try to address some of those problems for both the transmissions and the infotainment controls, but it doesn't seem to be enough," Fisher said.
Despite Ford plummeting in the Consumer Reports reliability rankings, the company posted a massive profit for Q3 2012. Ford racked up $1.63 billion in profit during the quarter, marking a slight decline from $1.65 billion earned the same quarter of 2011. Ford had a pre-tax operating profit $2.2 billion amounting to $.40 per share. Analysts had anticipated a gain of $.30 per share.
"The Ford team delivered a best-ever third quarter, driven by record results in North America and the continued strength of Ford Credit," said Alan Mulally, Ford president and CEO, in a statement. "While we are facing near-term challenges in Europe, we are fully committed to transforming our business in Europe by moving decisively to match production to demand, improve revenue through new products and grow a stronger brand, improve our cost efficiencies and take advantage of opportunities to profitably grow our business."
However, things don't look is rosy for Ford in Europe with the company reporting a loss of $460 million during the quarter marking a loss of about $1 billion in Europe this year alone. Ford has previously announced that it expects to lose about $1.5 billion in Europe during 2012 and 2013. The automaker plans to restructure its European operations and shed workers.

Family: Rallidae, Rails, Gallinules, Coots view all from this family
Description ADULT In breeding season has buff-yellow plumage overall, palest on throat, with darker feathering on crown, through eye, and on flanks; back feathers have dark centers. Back and flanks are spangled with fine white bars. Bill is yellow and legs are dull pinkish. Nonbreeding adult is similar, but with dull bill. JUVENILE Similar to adult, but head, neck, and breast are darker overall, but with more extensive white spangling.
Dimensions Length: 6-8" (15-20 cm)
Habitat Threatened and declining as a result of wetland habitat destruction. Endemic to North America and entire world population may number just a few tens of thousands of birds. In breeding season, favors freshwater marshes with abundant, emergent grasses and sedges. Winters on Gulf and south Atlantic coasts of U.S., favoring grassy wetlands and rice fields.
Observation Tips Tricky to observe, so consider yourself lucky if you succeed. Perhaps least difficult to see in winter in flooded agricultural fields.
Range Florida, Plains, Northwest, Southeast, Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, New England, Western Canada, Texas, Eastern Canada
Voice Utters a rhythmic clicking tic-tic-tic-tic; imitate this by tapping two stones together.
Discussion Tiny wetland bird. Habits are so secretive, and favored habitat so impenetrable, that few people ever get a good look at this enigmatic species. Most satisfy themselves with hearing the call or catching a glimpse of a flushed bird in brief flight (note white secondaries and underwing coverts). Sexes are similar.

Best Wishes,
Sweet child, I am thinking of you and your mother. Spend this time where you need to be and come back to us when you can. We'll still be here when you do.
Much sympathy and many hopeful thoughts.

My father told me that as long as he still had something to fight for (me & my sister) that nothing could keep him down (and two bouts with cancer haven't won yet). I'm sure you're mother feels the same way. We'll still be here when you get back, take all the time you need.

Tell her to keep her chin up, honestly the positive outlook and a lot of prayers are what got my mom and our family through. Take care of yourself and know lots of people are thinking and praying for you both!

Open Letter to US Senate on Human Cloning
March 19, 2002
Dear Senators,
The United States Senate will soon be considering legislation on human cloning. Your decisions will have profound implications for the future of humanity.
The new technologies of human genetic engineering are among the most consequential technologies ever developed. If used wisely they hold great promise for preventing and treating disease, but if misused they could lead to a future more horrific than any we might imagine.
These technologies are being developed at a frenzied pace. The general public has had little real opportunity to understand and consider their full implications. There are few significant controls over their use.
These conditions leave us vulnerable to being pushed into a new era of eugenic engineering, one in which people quite literally become manufactured artifacts. The implications for individual integrity and autonomy, for family and community life, for social and economic justice and indeed for world peace are chilling. Once humans begin cloning and genetically engineering their children for desired traits we will have crossed a threshold of no return.
Given the rapid pace of development, the enormous stakes, the lack of societal controls and the fact that informed public debate has barely begun, what is the responsible course of legislative action at this time?
With regard to human cloning, we believe the answer is straightforward.
First and obviously, the United States should ban the creation of full-term human clones ("reproductive cloning"). There is no unmet need that requires the creation of genetic duplicates of existing people. Surveys show that 90% of Americans support bans on reproductive cloning. Nearly thirty countries world-wide have already agreed to such bans. The United States should do likewise without delay.
Second, the United States should enact a moratorium on the creation of clonal human embryos for research purposes (often prematurely called "therapeutic cloning"). The widespread creation of clonal embryos would increase the risk that a human clone would be born, and would further open the door to eugenic procedures. Fortunately, important research on embryonic stem cells does not yet require the use of clonal embryos. A moratorium would allow time for alternatives to research cloning to be investigated, for policy makers and the public to make informed judgments, and for regulatory structures to be established to oversee applications that society might decide are acceptable. A moratorium on research cloning is a middle ground between the two positions of an immediate permanent ban and an unconstrained green light.
We strongly urge as well that the United States join with other countries, under the auspices of the United Nations, to work towards an international convention that would ban dangerous applications of the new genetic technologies, while encouraging the many applications judged to contribute to the improvement of human well-being.
We are long-time advocates for human rights, the environment, and social justice. We are strong supporters of women's health and reproductive rights, disability rights, and biomedical research. We believe in the inherent equality and human dignity of all people. We want to help ensure that our descendants live in a world in which these values are sustained and nurtured.
We believe that a ban on reproductive cloning and a moratorium on the creation of clonal embryos are the policies most consistent with the values and commitments we share. We strongly urge you to support legislation that would enact such policies into law.

Text books are heavy, If you have ever carried around a bag full of books, you'll agree. Text books are obsolete the minute they come out. Thirdly they are expensive, with little resale value, as they are always changing. On another note, in some places, there aren't enough textbooks to go around. For example, I grew up in New Zealand where we didn't buy our books, the state provided them, but budgets meant that students had to share. I actually gave up my dream of becoming an airline pilot because I was in a physics class with 32 students and only 15 text books. By the 2nd semester I still … [Read more...]

Could someone certify me out of this "Observer" oblivion. I've been here since 2000, for chrissake's! And an advocate for F/OSS software since before then. I just left for about 10 years and just got back where apparently I lost even my "Apprentice" status.

Gooser has been away from HT now for quite sometime....
Even when I was running them some 5 yrs ago or so,,, I was surprised at AKC hunt tests, that MOST of the Senior marks , the gunners were hidden behind winger hides, There were never any exposed gunners in the field..
The tests I witnessed Many many moons before this,, there WERE gunners exposed in the field, thowing hand thrown dead birds and flyers.
Just 2 gunners and chairs,,
I know I am not loosing my mind, because LONG ago, you needed to train for a retired gun in Senior.
Memory bird Gunner would step out, from lets say a tree row,, throw and shoot a dead bird,, then as the dog was on its way to the other "Go" bird,, (usually the flyer) the Memory bird gunner would step back into the tree row and retire..
Long ago,, were not guns in AKC HUNT TESTS exposed, and NOT behind hides??
If there has been a change,,, WHY??

Auvi-Q, an epinephrine auto-injector considered an alternative to the EpiPen, will be reintroduced in the U.S. market in early 2017, according to it"...
(beclomethasone dipropionate, monohydrate) Nasal Spray
Beclomethasone dipropionate, monohydrate, the active component of BECONASE AQ Nasal Spray, is an anti-inflammatory steroid having the chemical name 9-chloro-11β,17,21-trihydroxy- 16β-methylpregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione 17,21-dipropionate, monohydrate and the following chemical structure:
Beclomethasone 17,21-dipropionate is a diester of beclomethasone, a synthetic halogenated corticosteroid. Beclomethasone dipropionate, monohydrate is a white to creamy-white, odorless powder with a molecular weight of 539.06. It is very slightly soluble in water, very soluble in chloroform, and freely soluble in acetone and in ethanol.

I've decided lately to switch from gedit to Geany as the default editor. I had done this before and really liked it (I didn't want to set it up again because I didn't remember all the settings I had changed). Geany is more religious how it handles text and I can't really define it better than that. All I remember is that there were some odd quirks when I adjusted to gedit like selecting text; also Geany just runs beautiful, real light. Geany is a actually an IDE (an integrated development environment) so it's more than a text editor but it can be pruned down to feel like a basic text editor and it just runs very very nice.
To get Geany to behave and feel like gedit a number of setting changes will need to be made. To make changes open up the preferences (Edit > Preferences) and change these settings in the Tabs:
General : Startup
- Uncheck: Load virtual terminal support
General : Miscellaneous
- Check: Always wrap search
Interface : Interface
- Uncheck: Show sidebar
- DropDwn: Font size for Editor: Same as system
Interface : Toolbar : Customize Toolbar Button
- Removed: Revert, Close
- Added: Undo and Redo
- Removed: Back and Forward Location (Unknown use)
- Removed: Compile, Execute, and Build
- Removed: Color Chooser
- Removed: Goto, Jump to (Using Ctrl + L instead)
- Removed: Quit
Editor : Features
- Check: Line Wrapping
- Uncheck: Code folding (I like to see all the text)
- Check: Newline strips trailing spaces (I find it hard remembering empty spaces)
- Set: Line breaking column to 80 (Good for readability, more oft use)
Editor : Indentation
- Set: Width 2 (Two space tabs break up content well without learing the eye overly)
- Type: Spaces (Spaces translate look as expected)
Editor : Display
- Uncheck: Show line numbers (Don't often need to know)
- Uncheck: Show markers margin
- Set: Long line marker > Column to 80
- Set: Long line marker > Color to #98A8B6
- Check: Strip trailing spaces and tabs # For a consistent, expected feel
- Check: Replace tabs by space
After setting these preferences remove the Message Pane by unchecking View > Show Message Window.
Automatic Save
gedit has a useful feature in one of its' options of being able to autosave files at certain intervals. To get the same functionality in Geany do:
Tools > Plugin Manager
- Check: Save Actions
- Select: Preferences
- Check: Auto Save: Enable & Save all open files
- Check: Backup Copy: Enable
Geany as Default Text Editor
xdg-mime default geany.desktop $(grep MimeType /usr/share/applications/geany.desktop | sed 's/MimeType=//' | sed 's/;/ /g')
Change Colorscheme
Colorscheme support in Geany is still rudimentary. Thankfully a fellow named codebrain has done a lot of the work and it is easy. Much appreciate the work codebrain, thank you.
gny_cnf_dir=~/.config/geany # define config dir [ ! -d $gny_cnf_dir ] && mkdir $gny_cnf_dir # create config dir cd $gny_cnf_dir [ -d $gny_cnf_dir/colorschemes ] && \ mv $gny_cnf_dir/colorschemes{,_$(date +%F-%R)} # backup original git clone git://github.com/codebrainz/geany-themes.git # get repository mv $gny_cnf_dir/geany-themes $gny_cdf_dir/colorschemes
To Do
- Remove line wrap arrows? – I learned how to do this before from a developer and lost it; afraid to ask again.

Center for Diabetes Education at St. Anthony Community Hospital to offer evening informational workshop
Contact: Deborah Marshall, Vice President of Public Relations, Marketing & Strategic Planning
845.368.5570/Deborah_Marshall @bshsi.org
or Tom Leek, Public Relations Manager
Center for Diabetes Education at St. Anthony Community Hospital to offer evening informational workshop, 'Dental Health for People With Diabetes'
March 19 program conducted by Warwick dentist Vipul Patel, DDS
WARWICK – (Mar. 5) Oral hygiene is essential for people with diabetes.
This is the message Warwick dentist Dr. Vipul J. Patel, will present to adults attending the regular monthly meeting of "Diabetes in Check" on Monday, March 19. The support group, open to anyone with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, is sponsored by the Center for Diabetes Education at St. Anthony Community Hospital.
"Diabetes in Check," will meet from 6:30-7:30 p.m. in the hospital's second-floor conference room. Everyone is invited to attend this important educational program geared for all adults with diabetes and their families.
Dr. Patel, who practices at Warwick Valley Dental in Warwick, is a fellow of the
International Congress of Oral Implantology. He is also a founding member of the American Academy of Oral Systemic Health, an organization dedicated to the improvement of health by changing public and professional awareness of mouth-body health links.
According to Dr. Patel, people with diabetes have a higher risk for periodontal disease, a chronic low-grade infection of the gums and bone around the teeth. And because diabetics tend to have more problems with infections and wound healing, gum disease represents a worrisome threat to both oral and general health.
Dr. Patel's presentation will explain the connection between systemic health and oral health, focusing on its relevance to diabetes. Periodontal disease can make it more difficult for diabetics to control their blood glucose levels. And people with diabetes tend to have more gum disease.
"This is an opportunity for us to offer a program where people with diabetes and their families and caregivers will learn the good news that those who have regular dental care experience better control of their blood sugar, compared to others with gum disease," said Certified Diabetes Educator Lourdes Braadt, RN. "And they can enjoy the same level of oral health as everyone else if they practice good oral hygiene, have regular professional care and keep their oral tissues healthy."
The Center for Diabetes Education at St. Anthony Community Hospital offers a series of classes for all patients who have been recently diagnosed with diabetes or those who demonstrate poorly controlled diets. During group or individual sessions, clinical instructors offer initial assessment, emotional support and will seek to help patients achieve a better understanding of the disease. They will show their patients how to live a normal and productive life with diabetes and how to control the disease through diet and exercise.
All adults with diabetes and their caregivers are urged to attend the March 19 "Diabetes in Check" meeting. Seating is limited and all those planning to attend are asked to reserve aplace as soon as possible by calling 845-987-5168.
For more information about the Center for Diabetes Education, call 845-987 5168 or visit bschs.bonsecours.com.

In Search Of...The Slynnlings - Part 2
Unconventional family unites to faces rough road
ONALASKA, Wis. -- As families go, this one is about as unusual as they come. Unusual and inspiring.
You see, Rob and Becky Glynn were married in 1997 and had two children - Austin and Maddie. They divorced in 2005. Three years later Rob married Jennifer Sly who had 4 children. Aly, Savannah, Josh and Minnie. Meanwhile Becky married Erick Berling and together they had twin boys Dominic and Cameron. 4 adults, 8 kids. But one happy family.
They spend birthdays, holidays...and actually a lot of regular days just hanging out at each others homes. In fact the Sly's Glynn's and Berling's have even come up with a nickname for themselves. The Slynnlings. And at the heart of this family are two amazing women that ironically have become the best of friends. "I just started calling her my sister, because we're as close as that. We've learned a lot from each other and really balance each other out."
"It just shows what kind of women they actually are that it doesn't matter where they came from or who they are - they're gonna love them no matter what."
The reason this family works and works so well is two moms that are committed to working together. So what happens then when one mom literally starts falling apart.
"I started noticing problems in April of last year."
At first, it was little things. Cluster headaches, periodic fainting. "We could never figure out what's going on."
Finally late last year, doctors pinpointed the problem - or as it turns out - problems. Jen has not one but three separate diseases. A connective tissue disorder, an auto-immune deficiency and a rare condition called Postual Orthestatic Tachycardia Syndrome or POTS. Which essentially means if she tries to stand, or even sit upright for to long, her blood pressure drops causing her to lose consciousness. "I've had 12 concussions."14164868
But getting diagnosed is only part of the problem. "The doctors don't know how to help her.." "They can't figure it out. She's been to Mayo, Gundersen, to Madison."
With no course of action, Jennifer's condition continues to decline. "It's been very difficult because everything in my life, I worked full time. We did girl scouts together. I was always busy. And all of a sudden I couldn't do anything anymore."
Thankfully, there's another mom, a best friend, a sister of sorts, willing - wanting to help. "They're our family. We were raised when your family needs help, you help them. Is it hard? Yes. But we wouldn't have it any other way."
In Jennifer's absence, Becky is the one getting them where they need to go, making sure they have what they need. "I can't even tell you how much she's stepped up to the plate."
"I think it's hard just because she can't go to her kids events. Can't go to their concerts. So at times I feel guilty. I'm more than happy to help out - but it just breaks my heart that she can't be there for them."
"I can't imagine my kids having to go through this without her."
Who knows what the future holds for the Slynnlings. But one thing is for sure - they are a shining example that divorce doesn't have to divide. In fact, sometimes it can result in a union you will cherish forever. "These kids have grown to be better kids because they've seen the way we interact with each other. It's been some great life lessons to them. We are a family and there's no one that can tell us otherwise."
A fund has been set up to help the Glynn family with Jennifer's medical expenses. If you would like to make a donation, send it to:

Remember AP reporter Glen Johnson's showdown with Mitt Romney?
At the time, I assumed that Johnson went off on Romney because he was 1) tired and/or in a bad mood and 2) fed up with Romney's shtick. But after reading this fascinating Politico piece on the AP's ongoing re-invention, and the role Washington Bureau chief Ron Fournier is playing therein, I'm not so sure.
With Fournier leading the charge, writes Michael Calderone (via Romenesko), the AP is
scrapping the stonefaced approach to journalism that accepts politicians' statements at face value and offers equal treatment to all sides of an argument. Instead, reporters are encouraged to throw away the weasel words and call it like they see it when they think public officials have revealed themselves as phonies or flip-floppers. [emph. added]
Whether you loved or hated what Johnson did, he was certainly calling it like he saw it. This could explain why Johnson acted as he did, and why neither he nor the AP ever publicly apologized to Mitt.

Good for him!!!!!
It hard to argue with a liar in a 90 minute debate, so why do it?
Take what Romney said and turn it on him when he can't tell a lie. Smart strategy!
I will say it did put some life back into your campaign that was much needed, lets see how it last and if it even made a difference where it counts.
See I give credit where it is due!

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – Sen. Nickey Browning of Pontotoc, who has been elected five times to the Mississippi Senate as a Democrat, announced Tuesday he has switched to the Republican Party.
Browning has been a swing vote for years, often voting with Republicans, and said he was first approached about 10 years ago about switching parties. He said he resisted in part because the majority of the local officials in his district were Democrats.
He said he felt more comfortable switching as more of the local officials switched to the Republican Party and after consulting with his family.
"I still represent the same people I have for the past 18 years," Browning said. "I have always tried to do what is best for my constituents."
Browning said he will continue to be a strong supporter of legislation to help public education and of proposals to help the business community. He has consistently received high marks from business groups.
Browning said the fact that his district will be different when he runs for re-election in 2015 had nothing to do with his decision. Thanks to the redistricting plan passed in 2012 to adhere to population shifts found by the 2010 census, Browning will be in the same district as Sen. Bill Stone, D-Ashland.
"Bill Stone and I are friends," said Browning, who said he does intend to run for re-election. "I hope to remain his friend."
Stone would not comment on Browning's switch and would not say whether he plans to run against Browning in the new district that consists of most of Pontotoc and all of Union and Benton counties.
Republicans now hold a 32-20 advantage in the Senate.
