Can America Keep Its Waterways Working?
By Ryck LydeckerPublished: August/September 2012
Our nation's maritime infrastructure is suffering from insufficient funding to maintain dredging efforts, protective jetties, ports, and other crucial navigation improvements.
Video Source: KGW.com NewsChannel 8 PortlandThe Tillamook County Creamery Association must be the only dairy farmers' cooperative in the country that displays a two-masted schooner under full sail and with "a bone in her teeth" as its advertising logo. There's a good reason cows and canvas go well together in this dramatic reach of Oregon's ocean coast. The settler-farmers of the 1850s, their fertile valley hemmed in on three sides by rugged mountains and vast forests, looked to the ocean to get their goods to market, and so they built a 40-foot schooner to do it.
Like the other river-mouth inlets along this rugged coast, Tillamook Bay's out-flowing waters conflict with ocean tides and currents, leading to a build-up of dangerous shoals made all the more treacherous during Pacific storms. A single 5,400-foot rock jetty built in 1915 on the north side of Tillamook Inlet provided mariners some protection sailing in and out of the Port of Garibaldi until 1979 when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built another jetty on the south-side, 5,500 feet long. The twin jetties served two functions, buffering onshore seas to protect the entry, and concentrating harbor outflow to scour a channel. The Pacific Ocean, after all, is unforgiving.
"These jetties take a beating from ocean storms and we've lost over 900 feet of the south jetty since it was built," says Val Folkema, a commissioner with the Port of Garibaldi. "As a result, the Tillamook Bay bar is getting more and more treacherous, and that's a real threat to our recreational and commercial fishing fleets. In the past seven or eight years alone, 17 lives have been lost out there."
Pounding Pacific waves have taken a toll on Oregon's Tiillamook Inlet jetties. Meanwhile, federal funding to maintain waterway infrastructure nationwide is suffering as well.
For Folkema, it gets personal; her husband Jeff is a commercial crabber who has to navigate the inlet in his 26-foot boat to tend traps five to 10 miles offshore. Their two sons work on the water as well and, as a family, they operate Garibaldi Marina, roughly a mile inside the inlet. Tillamook, in the local Native American tribal language here, means "many waters" for the five rivers that flow into it.
"The big thing about working out of this port is that you can't cross the bar on an ebb tide," says Jeff Folkema. "Tillamook Bay is big and you've got all that water pushing to get out, so if there's any swell on the ocean the waves just jam up at the jaws out there. Say you've got a six-foot swell and a six- or seven-foot outgoing tide," he explains. "You definitely want to mind your Ps and Qs because it's going to jump up to about a 10-foot breaking sea over the bar. On the south jetty, to make it safe, we need them to at least do what they did to the north jetty a few years ago."
That original harbor improvement, now nearly a century old, had lost just shy of 500-feet on its outer end by 2004. The Corps of Engineers completed design work to cap the last 100 feet and prevent further deterioration, but could not get the additional funds necessary to complete the work. Then in 2009, Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the so-called "stimulus bill" or "The Recovery Act") and the project qualified as "shovel ready." Thus, in 2010, the Corps repaired 300 feet of the North Jetty at a cost of $16.1 million. But with the fiscal climate in Washington, D.C. these days, that's hardly likely to happen again, according to Kevin Greenwood, port manager.
"Luckily, the North Jetty planning had been done, and while they couldn't extend it to the original length, the Corps was able to put a 100-foot cap on the outer end," Greenwood says. "But that also means there's about 200 feet of what engineers call "relic rock" beyond it, and if you're a boater you may see the end of the jetty but not realize until it's too late that dangerous rocks lie below the surface.
"We have a huge amount of recreational boating traffic in and out of here, so if the federal infrastructure, that being the jetties or the channel, fails, that can have a huge economic impact on our region," Greenwood explains. "Twenty-two percent of all recreationally caught ocean salmon in Oregon are landed here, making Garibaldi Number One in the state."
It takes car-sized boulders and giant cranes to rebuild a jetty.
Greenwood says about 250 jobs depend on the port and its federal infrastructure, which generates $10 million annually for the local economy. According to U.S. Coast Guard statistics, outbound bar crossings totaled 20,334 in 2010, with commercial traffic accounting for just fewer than 2,800. That ratio is fairly similar in many of Oregon's small ocean ports. Unfortunately, the federal infrastructure situation is all too similar as well.
Between The Rocks And A Hard Place
Unfortunately, Meira explains, the Corps of Engineers budget has been dwindling, in real dollars, over the years and, like every other place there's federal navigation infrastructure, they're struggling to find adequate funds for jetty repair. "For us, the jetties are huge construction projects and they're not getting any cheaper to maintain, with costs of fuel, labor, and transportation all rising," she explains. "Rocks that are appropriate for the kinds of jetties we have on the Oregon coast can only be procured from certain quarries, where the boulders are large enough and have the density that the engineers require. Just sourcing the material can be a challenge."
Meira goes on to describe the all-too-familiar cost-accounting conundrum that ports and waterways, once heavily commercial but today catering primarily to recreational boating and fishing, face across the country: "The Corps uses tonnage as its budget basis and the kinds of tonnage they count favors deep-draft ports. So a port like Garibaldi, where they have significant commercial and recreational fishing, can't compare to containers or wheat or other kinds of cargo moving on deep-draft systems," she explains. "Small ports are continually at a disadvantage in the budgeting process but we keep pointing out that local fishermen and others are relying on that infrastructure to be there. In many communities, that fishing fleet is all they have left because timber is gone."
Going It Alone
The situation in Tillamook Bay and along the Oregon Coast is symptomatic of problems that confront commercial-navigation interests, and recreational boaters alike, in much of the country. Waterway infrastructure deterioration compounds itself, year to year, in the face of ever-fewer federal dollars to maintain locks and dams, dredge shallow-draft channels, and keep recreational harbors operational and safe.
In many parts of the country, navigation projects once funded through the "earmark" process, now halted by Congress, go begging, but in some areas the locals have resorted to digging into their own pockets, at least to find stopgap dollars. In Ventura California, for example, with maintenance dredging zeroed-out in the Corps budget this year, threatening the port's fishing fleet and its 1,500 marina slips, commissioners voted unanimously to spend up to $15 million in port funds to maintain a safe and navigable harbor entry.
In North Carolina, municipal and county governments pooled resources with state dollars to get five dangerous ocean inlets dredged (www.BoatUS.com/Magazine/dredging).
On Lake Michigan, one small port isn't waiting around for Uncle Sam either. "The federal government has left us on our own, and that being said we're not going to sit and cry about it, we're going to do the job ourselves," Russell Dzuba, the harbormaster of Leland, Michigan, told an ABC-TV News affiliate on April 30. Local officials and business leaders mounted a fundraising campaign earlier this year and as a daily blog, The Leland Report, put it: "The economic health of Leland is on the operating table." By the start of boating season, the campaign had raised $60,000 in local donations to dredge the harbor. That's admittedly far short of the $175,000 to $200,000 required, but the harbor is vital to the Leland economy, as Great Lakes boaters spend money at local businesses in this town of 2,000, so it's a start — and a statement.
"From the Fourth of July to Labor Day, it's non-stop traffic thorough the harbor and boaters drop a lot of money in our town," Dzuba explained. "But we can't pay for dredging every year." He said the township would have to agree to a promissory note to pay off the dredging tab at season's end, "When we've had a chance to make some money."
Ultimately, Dzuba and officials at the 50 other member municipalities that make up the Great Lakes Small Harbors Coalition say it's the federal government's responsibility. The good news on that score is that the federal Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund, derived from a tonnage tax on international cargo (largely containers shipped through major ports, and ostensibly dedicated to the maintenance of navigation infrastructure) carries a balance of about $6 billion. The bad news is that only a small portion of that money is ever spent as intended — about $758 million in the current fiscal year. (At the current spending rate, the balance is projected to rise to $7.11 billion by the end of fiscal year 2013.) Coupled with declining appropriations from the nation's General Fund, it means the Corps of Engineers must pick-and-choose from among projects on its growing maintenance backlog list. But there's mounting pressure on Capitol Hill from an alliance of commercial waterway organizations (called Realize America's Maritime Promise) to put all Harbor Trust Fund monies to work through the Corps of Engineers' Operation and Maintenance (O&M) budget. As Kristen Meira puts it: "That money is supposed to be spent on coastal O&M to include the kind of jetty repair we urgently need here in Oregon. We have to continue to push for full use of those receipts. That's an effort everyone's been able to rally around, both deep-draft and small ports."
Since the construction in 1915, the north jetty at Tillamook Bay had lost over 500 feet to storms by 2010 when repairs commenced. It took 1,100 boulders weighing 25 to 52 tons, to cap it and prevent further damage.
Follow The Money
Since the 1820s, when Congress directed the Corps of Engineers to build a canal connecting Lake Michigan with the Illinois River, and clear snags from the Mississippi, the federal government has had responsibility for maintaining waterway infrastructure. Today, the agency's Civil Works program has responsibility for 12,000 miles of waterways, 221 locks (60 percent are beyond their 50-year design life), 156 inlets, and some 900 harbors, although only 150 or so get routine maintenance. Today's budget of about $4.7 billion has shrunk from $7.5 billion in 1970 and the challenge, according to one senior Corps official we interviewed, is how to prioritize projects with the funding the agency does have. The Civil Works program, in fact, faces a "perfect storm" of rising demand for cargo movement, aging infrastructure, and declining budgets, Michael Mazzanti, Chief Of Operations, told a Congressional Waterways Caucus briefing last September.
Congress is getting the message, and in fact, there's legislation in the Senate that would tap the full $6 billion in the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund for dredging. In April, five Democratic senators called on Senate appropriators to include money in the Corps of Engineers' budget specifically for shallow-draft (defined as less than 14-feet) and low-commercial-use ports. In a March 22 letter, Washington's Sen. Maria Cantwell joined Oregon's Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, along with Senators Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, to succinctly state the challenges that face harbors such as Garibaldi, Oregon, and Leland, Michigan. "Without adequate funding, the navigation channels leading to these ports and the jetties protecting these communities will crumble," they told the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Subcommittee.
Nonetheless, waterway improvements, or even maintaining current conditions of the waterways boaters depend upon, could still require creative solutions, cautions BoatUS President Margaret Podlich: "Recognizing that the maintenance of channels and harbors has traditionally been a federal responsibility, as recreational boaters we now face the reality that in many cases the dollars that are available aren't likely to be put to use where we need them most, at least in the near term. We all know that a vibrant boating culture has developed around waterway infrastructure nearly everywhere in the country, and so it's increasingly important that policy makers hear that message, too.
"In these tough economic times, recreational boaters and sport anglers still pump much-needed dollars into waterfront communities," she added, "so it's in everyone's interest — that is, it's in the nation's interest — to find solutions to the waterway infrastructure crisis."

I haven't read pages 2-9. But I read the original message. And it sounds a lot like me. Except for the fact that I don't feel bloated after a bowel movement - and they are diarrhea, not hard. I also tried FODMAP, SCD, etc. I didn't seem to matter what "safe food" I ate - I has bloated. I have seen a GI doc and won't go into what her thoughts were as the tests are in the next few weeks. But here is what I have done which is the only thing that has worked. I essentially stopped eating fiber. This has been brutal because I love vegetables. But it has kept the pain at bay. I seem to be ok with just a few grams per meal. More than that, I'm uncomfortable. Here is a usual day:
BF - farmers cheese (can't be cottage cheese or yogurt for me), 1 serving fried banana chips and 1 serving raisins mixed in.
L - left overs usually - grilled chicken thighs, burger usually with 2 tbsp mayo and 1 tupperware of strawberries
D - salad greens, meat, sometimes winter squash or potato with butter, rice cakes sometimes, it varies.
Doing this for the last few weeks I'm pain free until dinner - I can't restrain myself and usually munch on carrots and then feel a little crappy BUT removing the cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, pumpkin, etc has really made a difference. I don't enjoy eating this way because I miss veggies, but I can at least keep the pain manageable.
Anyway, good luck.
Thank you for writing this. I've definitely been orthorexic in the past and I guess in some ways I still am. I don't really like to admit I have fears of food but I really do. Even real, whole natural foods.
I still think that the SCD intro will be good just because it has structure. I'm also going to stop coconut oil (and all other coconut products). Butter is yummy and far cheaper than coconut oil! I know in it's own right, grass fed butter is a superfood.
I still don't have any interest in junk food. I had some sweets today and they just taste like chemical fake non-food. I'd much rather eat a load of fruit.
Thanks for your help. I'm starting to feel part of a "Paleo community" which is boasted throughout out the media as one of the "benefits"... I never had the realisation as much as I do now that I've super restrictive and it;s not helping at all.
Yep, I'm really looking into the SCD diet. It looks quite simple and contains foods I haven't had a lot of in a long time. I like that it's progressive for specific reasons which aren't just plucked out of mid air. It's researched.
I've definitely been orthorexia in the past and I still am in some ways. This all stemmed from mild acne where after each breakout I cut out another food until now I'm left with very little. Junk food doesn't really please me because it's dead, chemical tasting cardboard.
Could you have low stomach acid? perhaps try taking enzymes ( you can get them in tablet form). May help.. worth a try.
It has all stemmed from orthorexia after trying to clear my mild acne holistically. (and dark circles). Each week (which have now turned to months of 'healthy' eating but years of worrying about it) I cut out more foods because that was the only thing I could control.
I'm frustrated for sure, but I'm not too stressed. I'm confused too. It pisses me off that I eat all of these amazing foods and I'm no healthier than joe bloggs who chugs down garbage all day. This is probably due to gut issues and not being able to assimilate foods.(leaky gut)
Pre-paleo I don't really remember feeling great. I remember binging a lot on junk and that was the only exciting part of eating at that time. (and because I didn't have to pay for it - there's an abundance of junk food at home) Throughout out the journey of trying to eat real food, my skin still hasn't been great. I remember cutting out dairy 5 years ago and whilst that helped a little, I feel my problems now are not going to be anything like those causing acne 5 years ago.
I agree. I love the idea of eating a lot of fruit and cutting out fibrous vegetables but there's not method in working out which to cut out and when. the SCD looks simple and easily doable for me. It's pre-planned and depending on how I feel, I no longer need to focus as much on meal planning myself.
I hear it quite often at home that my food choices are crazy. I remember eating green smoothies for months and my family though I was a anorexic hippy! They still probably think I'm a hippy but that's cool. I guess people really can find problems with every food out there and with the amount of "less is more" stuff around, it is, like you said, very easy to go to extremes.
FODMAPS are definitely a huge issue for me. They never use to be, I use to eat carrots, cabbage and brocolli at every meal for months on end. (along with fish fingers which is processed fish covered in breadcrumbs). Fibre for me also seems to be an issue. I need to get over my fear os fruit = acne and just eat and enjoy it!
I'm going to experiment with dairy but in general I don't care for it. (unless it's cheesecake which I haven't eaten for a long time)
Thanks for your post, stay tuned!

The University of Akron advanced to its second consecutive Men's Soccer National Championship Game with a 2-1 victory over the Michigan Wolverines in a national semifinal game played in Santa Barbara, California.
The Zips broke a 1-1 tie in the 73rd minute when Kofi Sarkodie headed in a free kick struck by Michael Nanchoff from the right of the penalty box across the mouth of the goal.
Sarkodie was unguarded and calmly flicked the ball with his head into the back of the net. The Zips, after the goal, were able to kill the clock by passing the ball around the pitch while the Wolverines gave chase. Michigan did not have another serious scoring chance.
The Wolverines (17-5-3) scored the first goal of the game just two minutes into the contest. Senior Justin Meram scored his 17th goal of the year from near the top of the circle outside the penalty area, driving a hard shot into the upper-left corner net past the sprawling Akron netminder, David Meves.
Michigan held the 1-0 lead until the 33rd minute of the game when Zips freshman Perry Kitchen drilled a shot from 35 yards out that beat Wolverines goaltender Chris Blais. Akron out-shot Michigan 14-4 in the first half, but could not take the lead due to a number of critical saves from Blais.
The teams played even until the 73rd minute when Scott Caldwell was fouled from behind by a Michigan defender. This led to the free kick that Sarkodie was able to head home.
The Zips (21-1-2) will face Louisville, the top seed in the tournament at 20-0-3, who defeated North Carolina 2-1 prior to the Akron win.
Last year Akron was unbeaten heading into the championship game against Virginia. The Zips and Cavaliers played to a 0-0 draw, but Virginia claimed the title on penalty kicks, 3-2. Akron will be looking for its first national championship in any sport, and will have to defeat a familiar face to do so. Louisville coach Ken Lolla left the Akron program after the 2005 season to take the head job at Louisville. He was replaced by current Zips coach Caleb Porter.

Arguing against background checks for ammo purchases is a red herring. The real answer is a 100% excise tax on smokeless gunpowder. Revenue from this tax could be used for victim compensation, training and gear for on-scene trauma care, gun buy-back programs, etc. This will not prevent a shooting, but it will offset the societal costs of our gun culture. Frequently there will be a suggestion that we tax bullets. This is a similar idea, but reloading equipment and materials is easy to come by. Fabricating modern gunpowder is difficult so it avoids creating a black market. Note that there is already a HAZMAT charge to _ship_ smokeless powder, so some of the costs are already being accounted for.

Georgetown Die-Hard an Integral Part of Fan Base
Published: Friday, March 19, 2010
Updated: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 00:01
When the camp starts, Boone is all business, encouraging the kids to work hard and strive to improve as players. He says he enjoys teaching the dribbling station to the guards, the position his son played.
"[Boone] is a very good camp counselor. He's enthusiastic and he works," Georgetown Head Coach John Thompson III says. "As much as he loves cheering for us and supporting us, he loves teaching and showing little kids the fundamentals of the game."
For Boone, coaching is about more than basketball. He tries to be a role model and mentor like he was for Chavis.
"I probably jammed so much into his head that most kids didn't get," Boone says of his son. "A lot of his friends, I was their father. A lot of the kids that I coached still call me Dad today."
Chavis carried a piece of paper in his wallet that listed the priorities Boone wanted him to keep in life: God first, family second, friends and basketball next. Once, when Chavis brought home a poor report card, his father benched him. He told his son he cared about him as a student more than a basketball player and said that Chavis learned the lesson.
Even in basketball, Boone keeps different priorities than most. He does not emphasize winning and follows a saying he learned from Morgan Wootten: play hard, play smart and have fun. More often than not, Boone says, winning naturally follows those priorities.
"My purpose is to teach life through basketball," he says. "Win some and lose some. When you win, you're happy, but when you lose, how do you act? [You've] got to bounce back."
With Chavis battling cancer, neither father nor son listed basketball as their proudest moment. Chavis' graduation trumped any three-pointer or trophy won, proving that he learned the priorities his father taught. One reason Boone likes Georgetown basketball is the high graduation rate of its players, and he continues to teach the right priorities to campers.
"The wins and losses on the court are just one small aspect of what it can be," Thompson says. "[Boone] is able to have an effect and touch many lives, just with his energy, his enthusiasm and his caring, and that's something special."
On game day at Verizon Center, one needs only a passing glance to see that Boone is a huge Georgetown fan. He wears a custom-made Hoyas shirt under a Georgetown sweatshirt, and has the team logo on his shoes, socks and even his watch.
What most people don't notice is a tribute to his son. He had "Let's Goooooo Hoyas" stitched into the side of his hat, six O's for the six letters in the name Chavis.
A fan since the Patrick Ewing days, Boone says he wears at least some kind of Georgetown gear every day, which is never a problem because over half of his wardrobe is blue and gray. He even earned the nickname "Mr. Georgetown" from sophomore Jason Clark's mother because he is always watching games or hanging around McDonough for the Kenner League in the summer.
"There are some big fans around," Boone says from his seat several rows behind the Georgetown bench at Verizon Center, "but I think I might be the biggest one."
He made the trip up to New York City last Saturday night to watch the Hoyas play in the final of the Big East tournament, another step in what Boone has dubbed the "Hoya Redemption Season." After the Hoyas' 2008-2009 campaign ended in a late season swoon, Boone started a blog called "Glide Hoyas" to chronicle the bounce back year.
Boone believes in "faith through adversity," a quote he got from former Coach John Thompson Jr. and a motto that exemplifies his own life. His blog posts are always positive because, as he says, "These could be your kids. When people start talking negative about the team, you always have to have something positive to say about the team."
Boone has had his own ups and downs, but through Georgetown basketball and coaching, he is able to keep the memory of his beloved son Chavis alive.
"Other than my family and my mom, nobody else did anything for my son - but every time I turn around, it's Georgetown right there," Boone says. "My whole life is dedicated to this blue and gray. Cut me right now, I'll probably let out some blue and gray."

County considers new arts board
"The county commissioners currently are considering an ordinance designed to boost the arts and beautify future capital projects in Kitsap.The commissioners could approve the ordinance, which would earmark $130,000 a year for arts projects developed in coordination with county capital improvement construction, as soon as June 11. The ordinance would add 1 percent of total costs to capital improvement projects, according to county Administrator Malcolm Fleming.Public buildings should be a reflection of our culture and community, said Commissioner Chris Endresen. This has been something I've wanted to do for a long time.The ordinance also would allow the commissioners to appoint a nine-member volunteer Arts Board. The board would create standards for selection of works of art to be placed in county structures. It also would seek private donations to add to county funds for the program.Endresen said works of art intended for county structures would have to meet community standards set by the volunteer board. Capital improvement art projects could include sculptures or murals.Find out moreA summary of the county's proposed arts ordinance is posted at www.wa.gov/kitsap. Public comment on the ordinance will be accepted this week, and the measure also will be discussed at the next commissioners meeting, set for 10 a.m. Monday, June 11, at the courthouse in Port Orchard.

Let 2013 all hang out at these musical blasts
Holidays bring out the best tribute shows. And who doesn't wanna hear all the Ramones hits of yore played by a live band in a beachy dive bar? As that meme'd pie chart side-by-side of the things the Ramones want versus things the Misfits want, the Ramones were the biggest fist-pumpers. Ramones wanna 1. "Sniff Some Glue," 2. "Be Sedated," and 3. "Be Your Boyfriend" (the joke is that the Misfits only want "Your skulls"). All that punked-up energy makes for some killer classic possibilities. And since most of the Ramones are now dead and gone — RIP — your best bet for getting what you wanna get is the Remones, SF's party Ramones act since 2009. And don't worry, it's not just the sound; the band dresses the part in tight jeans, shaggy hair, and leather jackets. This is a free-for-all, no-cost Outer Sunset retreat back to the late '70s before we fast-forward to the future now. 9pm, free. Riptide, 3639 Taraval, SF. www.theriptidesf.com

Neutral Experience
Very Difficult Interview
I applied online and the process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at Anheuser-Busch in June 2010.
Interview Details – The whole process took a little over a month. I had a phone interview first. Then I went in and met with the managers of my department. then I came back to meet the 2 main bosses. Then I had to come back a third time with college transcripts, a drug test, a full background check. The interviews were very probing, a lot of "tell me a time when..."
Interview Question – Tell me a time when you persuaded someone Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I was given my offer and told I couldn' negotiate...rather strange.
Accepted Offer
Neutral Experience
Very Difficult Interview
I applied online and the process took 2 months - interviewed at Anheuser-Busch in January 2009.
Interview Details – 3 interviews total. Extensive backround check. Personality test with situational questions. Laid back company culture but uptight interviews. Advice would be to prepare for "Name a time when" questions. Drug tests are mandatory.
Interview Question – Name a time when you persuaded someone. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – No negotiation
Declined Offer
Neutral Experience
Average Interview
The process took 4 weeks - interviewed at Anheuser-Busch in September 2007.
Interview Details – Scheduling of the interview was challenging even though I opened up more than 4 days on my calendar. Ariving to the interview I was asked to wait. They kept me waiting for 45 minutes. The interview started nearly an hour after it's scheduled time. The hiring manager seemed quite inexpierenced both at her job and with the interviewing process. Here department manager joined the interview and added little to the converwsation (not sure why he was even there). Overall it was standard questions, mostly experience-related few if any behaivoral questions that I recall. The process was clumsey and both interviewers had a difficult time answering my questions. The process and presentation of the position left the impression of a poorly structured organization with inept managers. Keep in mind the job was a level below where I was in my career at the time, but I wanted to learn more about the organization. Also, this took place prior to the InBev buyout.

Basic Information About Skin Cancer
Cancer is a disease in which cells in the body grow out of control. When cancer starts in the skin, it is called skin cancer.
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. Some people are at higher risk of skin cancer than others, but anyone can get it. The most preventable cause of skin cancer is exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, either from the sun or from artificial sources like tanning beds.

Quaker Yarn Stretcher
There was a KAL; it's over now, but come on over and have a look or post your pics.
Making the yarn go further ….
I have lots of skeins of handspun all with just over 200m and wanted to see if I could get a scarf - rather than a cowl - with that yardage.
I'm happy to report that it worked. ☺
Loose gauge makes the yarn go further, while the edge stitches and the ridges keep it from being shapeless or too sloppy.
Quote from one knitter:
… excellent pattern for handspun. The alternating stockinette with reverse stockinette really shows off color changes. The pattern is easy to read and memorize.
Barbara Walker lists the stitch as Quaker Ridging - hence the name.
I used around 210-230m of Worsted on 6mm needles and the scarves are all around 150cm/ 5' long, which isn't huge, but certainly wearable as a scarf.
If you prefer you can use a different type of yarn or use more yarn to make a larger version - no adjustment needed, just knit more….
It's reversible and with some yarns the "wrong side" can actually be the best one. ☺
Many thanks to the testers:

Rid Mice the safe easy, chemical free way!
Our hundreds of testimonials help you feel confident that Shake-Away is effective. Our OMRI Seal validates that Shake-Away is the chemical free solution to your animal problem.
Mice! Just the thought of these critters gives some people the shivers. Somehow they are likely to find their way into your house and then make themselves right at home. They carry disease and can make a quite a mess including gnawing on your electrical wiring. Rather than messy traps, deadly poison and expensive exterminators, there is a mouse repellant that will get rid of your mice problem.
You may have initially seen mice in and around your home. They were likely making your yard their home prior to you noticing their presence inside. Cold weather will drive them indoors. Be sure to cover any areas they may enter into your home.
What is Shake-Away and how does it work to get rid of mice? It is an effective rodent repellent in granular form that contains a proprietary blend of natural oils that are specifically formulated to be repulsive to rodents. When you ask "how to get rid of mice", Shake-Away rodent repellent is the answer!
Shake-Away Rodent Repellent uses the scientifically proven to be repulsive-to-rodents vapors from its formulation of all-natural oils to aggravate the rodents sensitive nervous system, while producing a pleasant mint smell to humans!
Understanding that you can modifying animal behavior by manipulating their sense of smell has been known for generations.

Extreme natural disasters, acidified oceans, shrinking coral reefs, unstoppable arboreal infections, a vanishing bee population – environmentalists say the writing is on the wall. Despite the warning signs, many in this country refuse to see or address the enormous environmental damages that are happening now all around us – damages that many warn will escalate unless humans change behavior. A panel of experts will share ideas on how to get the critical message to the masses in time to protect the environments in which we live and breathe.

When the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Michigan State running back Le'Veon Bell in the second-round of the 2013 NFL Draft, it was believed he was the favorite to be the team's starting RB this season. Entering Saturday's preseason opener vs. the New York Giants, it was expected this would be the first chance for him to reinforce that belief, but he was a late scratch due ti a minor knee injury.
Bell now expects to make his NFL debut in next Monday night's preseason game between the Steelers and the Washington Redskins.
A solid training camp has put Bell in position to beat out Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer for the starting running back job. He can win the spot with strong performances in the next couple of preseason games. During his final season at Michigan State, Bell recorded 382 carries for 1,793 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Bell, though, is clearly the most talented running back the Steelers have. The real drama at running back is who will be backing up Bell. The Steelers might not keep both Redman and Dwyer, so maybe the Steelers are keeping Bell out tonight to get a better look at those two.
LaRod Stephens-Howling and Baron Batch are also battling for spots on the roster.

I don't think the goal stated is unrealistic and I also don't think it requires FTTH. Analog TV should go away by 2015 and that will allow Cable MSOs to significantly increase upstream and downstream bandwidth (much higher levels of channel bonding) without going to FTTH. New CPEs and diplex filter changes will be required, but we are talking hundreds of mhz of spectrum on existing plant that becomes usable by then.

1) No RF option. 2) Transport control location is clumsy. 3) Lack of hard buttons for skipping forward/backward. |
Logitech is an amazing company that stands behind it's products. If you actually have a problem, submit something to customer service and I guarantee they'll help you out. This isn't EA so don't try to abuse this process. That's how companies become EA...
Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; love more and all good things will be yours.
The fraud is obvious. But this is SD, so I expect that to be secondary to The Deal. |
I wrote to Logitech about a bulging battery issue in my One a few months ago. They offered to swap it out for a refurb and I took it. I was surprised when I received the remote and saw they had sent me a 900 instead. I counted myself lucky and took it. Maybe it wasn't a mix-up and they just don't have One's to swap? The 900 seems slower, but it is nice to have the RF ability.
Thos. |
Mine was swollen too and it was a bitch to get out. I put in a 3rd party battery and its been working great.
I have had both he 880 and the One and they both have similarly slow response times for button presses (maybe a quarter to a third of a second). Is this also the case with the 900 and Touch remotes? |
I was kidding, hence the "LOL". Any space to fool around? And as you see less than a quarter of the battery shows and it's dark, no there is really no way of showing the swelling in pictures. Can't pull mine out.
If you have this defect request a battery replacement or a new unit, you shouldn't be paying for a new battery out of pocket, it's something that the company should have recalled in the first place but never did. Show it to logitech and they'll help. |
So I bought a remote via eBay that turns out to be a dud..same issues...battery dies in 30 minutes. Called Logitech and they offered to upgrade to Touch. So thanks for the tip!!
If I sync up the old remote, would it just not add new info or would it render it useless? Anyone tried that at all? Last edited by dcmetro; 05-13-2013 at 12:30 PM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |

Hospitals Should Include IT Recovery in Disaster Planning
If a hospital staged a disaster drill for a hurricane, chances are the exercise would focus on the actions of caregivers.
But would the drill also include a medical center's IT technicians?
It should, said Jim Grogan, vice president of consulting and software product marketing for SunGard Availability Services, in Wayne, PA. SunGard provides IT disaster recovery assistance and managed IT services to 10,000 customers in North America and Europe.
If IT systems go down in a hospital as part of a real disaster, the effects will be felt on the clinical front line, Grogan said. With systems down, nurses may need to send designated "runners" with diagnostic tests to the laboratory and be prepared to wait four hours for results instead of just 15 minutes electronically.
Workers may have to re-enter reimbursement information from patient charts into a rebooted billing system. In the worst IT crashes, the emergency department might have to close temporarily.
Actively including IT representatives in drills will ease interdepartmental confusion and force all sides to appreciate what others view as the consequences of disasters, Grogan said. Simply put, nurses look at mission critical systems as lab testing equipment and ventilators. IT techs view disks and servers as mission critical needs.
When both sides participate in disaster exercises and learn how IT will recover the hospital's systems, those perspectives become more open, Grogan said.
SunGard, which has clients within healthcare and other industries, offers the following three strategies for IT recovery drills:
- Test your plans frequently. Drills make participants feel more comfortable with response plans. SunGard recommends conducting disaster recovery exercises at least twice a year, which for hospitals reflect Joint Commission emergency management requirements.
- Push the envelope with unexpected scenarios. "It's not just the regularity of testing, but the variety of testing," Grogan said. Do nurses understand how the pharmacy operates if there's an IT failure, for example? Likewise, do IT techs realize how their systems' down time affects computer-aided diagnoses? The Joint Commission expects at least one drill each year to simulate an escalating series of events in which the local community can't support the hospital. Such approaches also work for IT recovery exercises, Grogan said.
- Encourage communication between clinical and IT departments. Nurses need to explain what the most critical IT factors are for them during a disaster response. For example, if a hospital uses an electronic medical records system, nurses need to outline at what point printouts of the records may be necessary (e.g., patient evacuations).
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Gulf of Kutch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gulf of Kutch is an inlet of the Arabian Sea along the west coast of India, in the state of Gujarat, and renowned for extreme daily tides [1].
The maximum depth of Gulf of Kutch is 401 feet (122 m).
It is about 99 miles in length, and divides Kutch and the Kathiawar peninsula regions of Gujarat. The Rukmavati River empties into the Arabian Sea nearby.

Apple sues resellers over power adapters
Apple has filed a lawsuit against three companies it alleges are selling knockoff power adapters for MacBooks and MacBook Pros, according to court filings.
The lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on Thursday, names Brilliant Store, Sunvalleytek International, and Hootoo.com as defendants. Those companies operate Web sites that sell a variety of computer parts and accessories, including power adapters that Apple says infringe upon its patents.
One of the stores operated by Sunvalleytek, usadapter.com, isn't exactly hiding the fact that it sells both "oringinal" (their spelling) MacBook adapters … Read more

In the previous article, as I mentioned, I explained how to use the hasProperty() and getStaticProperties() reflection methods with a sample class. Below I reintroduced the source code corresponding to these examples, starting with the definitions of the class itself and its associated interface. Here they are: interface Identifier { public function setId($id); public function getId(); } /** * A sample user class * * @param id fname lname email */ class User implements Identifier { private $id = NULL; private $fname = 'Alejandro'; private $lname = 'Gervasio'; private $email = 'email@example.com'; const HEADING = 'Using the Reflection API in PHP 5'; // constructor (not implemented) public function __construct(){} //setter for id property public function setId($id) { if (!is_numeric($id)) { throw new Exception('ID must be a numeric value'); } $this->id = $id; } // getter for id property public function getId() { return $this->id; } // setter for fname property public function setFirstName($fname) { if (empty($fname) OR !is_string($fname)) { throw new Exception('First name must be a non-empty string.'); } $this->fname = $fname; } // getter for fname property public function getFirstName() { return $this->fname; } // setter for lname property public function setLastName($lname) { if (empty($fname) OR !is_string($fname)) { throw new Exception('Last name must be a non-empty string.'); } $this->lname = $lname; } // getter for lname property public function getLastName() { return $this->lname; } // setter for email property public function setEmail($email) { if (empty($email) OR !is_string($email) OR strpos($email, '@') === FALSE) { throw new Exception('Email must be a well-formatted email address.'); } $this->email = $email; } // getter for email property public function getEmail() { return $this->email; } } Since the Identifier interface and its implementing User class have been coded only for demonstration purposes, explaining how they function (again) would be a waste of time. Instead, you should look at the following code fragment, which shows how to use the aforementioned hasProperty() and getStaticProperties() methods, first for checking the existence of a specific property, and then for getting all of the static properties defined by this class: // create instance of 'User' class $user = new User(); // create instance of Reflection class and pass in 'User' class as an argument $reflector = new ReflectionClass('User'); // check if the reflected class has a specified property if ($reflector->hasProperty('lname')) { echo 'Property found in reflected class'; // displays 'Property found in reflected class' } else { echo 'Property not found in reflected class'; } // get static properties of reflected class print_r($reflector->getStaticProperties()); // displays nothing Undeniably, getting information about the properties of a class is a no-brainer process, thanks to the numerous methods included with the reflection API. Again, its fair to stress here that the API offers many other handy methods that will let you analyze your classes and interfaces down to their bare bones, so if you need to perform a particular introspection task that hasnt been covered in this series, make sure to check the APIs official online documentation. So far, so good. At this stage, you've learned how to obtain relevant data about the properties of a class, so now Im going to discuss using reflection to know if a class has been declared abstract and final. These subjects will be covered in the section to come. To get there, simply click on the link below and read the next few lines.
