Background and Objectives:The Governance and Development Planning Programme aims to developand institutionalize a new inclusive planning system in Kosovo. While building on the achievements of the former UN-HABITAT Urban Planning and Management Programme (UPMP 2002-03), this Programme is partly aimed at consolidating the results of the UPMP by building the capacity ofinstitutions and providing training. The Programme is training 95 municipaland 35 ministry planners to apply the new planning system developed underUPMP, which is more inclusive, strategic and action-oriented.
It will lay equal emphasis on building the capacity of civil society to engage with decision-makers and participate actively in the development planning process at urban, municipal and Kosovo-wide levels. As a result, the planners will have acquired skills and concepts for involving citizens and the private sector in preparing action plans that reflect the priorities of citizens and which harness public and private resources in a concerted way for city improvements.
The Programme was initiated because stabilization of Kosovo, to a largeextent, depends on sustained economic growth, social integration anddemocratic institutions. With a rapid population increase within a relativelysmall territory, inclusive spatial planning becomes especially important. This project will, over the coming 24-month period ensure that that participatory governance procedures have been anchored at all levels of planning and management in the spatial planning sector in Kosovo.
Activities:The following activities are being undertaken:

Cyclocross challenges Wrenshall cyclist
RICK LUBBERS: There isn't a stretch of dirt, gravel, mud, sand, snow, ice, tar or grass that intimidates Josey Weik and his bike.By: Rick Lubbers, Duluth News Tribune
There isn't a stretch of dirt, gravel, mud, sand, snow, ice, tar or grass that intimidates Josey Weik and his bike.
If the surface or obstacle proves too treacherous, the 16-year-old cyclist from Wrenshall simply dismounts and carries his bike to where it's again safe to pump pedals.
Such is the mindset of a cyclocross rider.
"Josey likes it the colder, the muddier, the better because it gives him a little bit of an advantage when the weather conditions are more on the poor side," said his mother, Sara, who home schools Josey with help from her husband, Matt.
Not for cyclists who prefer to keep their uniforms clean or their bodies unbruised and unscratched, cyclocross riders tore their training wheels off as toddlers and purposely rode their bikes through puddles to add a few layers of mud to their paint schemes.
"The (courses) really twist and turn and have obstacles," said Weik, which, appropriately enough, rhymes with bike. "There are a variety of surfaces depending on the time of year and the course. There are barriers on the course which are hurdles that are about 25-40 centimeters high.
"For those, you either have to get off your bike and run over them or hop them. There are also staircases that you have to run up. Sometimes there are just run-ups that are so steep and slippery that you can't ride up them, you have to run up them."
With all of those variables occurring on looped courses with races that last 40 minutes, cyclocross features more mayhem than your average mountain bike or road races, which Weik also competes in. But his focus, for the moment, is cyclocross. And he excels on those challenging courses.
Weik's Red Zone Cycling team, based in Louisville, Ky., has sent him and teammate Gavin Haley, another up-and-coming junior rider from Kentucky, to participate in a group of races in Europe – most of them taking place in cyclocross-crazed Belgium, the sport's epicenter.
An early race collision stymied Weik's efforts at the International Cycling Union's World Cup stop at Valkenburg, Netherlands, on Sunday, but he has another half-dozen races ahead of him through the middle of next month.
"Josey finished 32nd out of 64 starters," wrote Matt in an e-mail to the News Tribune on Monday. Follow Josey's exploits at his blog. "He had someone hit him in the back wheel on the start, taking all his momentum. So he was dead last around the first corner. He has pretty good form as it is pretty hard to pass that many guys on a course like this. Hoping for better luck next weekend."
It's noteworthy that Weik, who is 5-foot-9, 120 pounds, is always among the youngest competitors in his 17-to-18-year-old division. Cycling's governing body does not allow juniors in the 15-16 class to compete internationally, so Weik routinely faces older and more experienced competition at events in order to race around the world.
That degree of difficulty is appropriate considering his steep trajectory in the sport.
While mountain biking and road racing as a 13-year-old, one of Weik's coaches suggested he try cyclocross. He was hooked almost immediately. Eventually he started placing well enough at national races (making the leap from an 18th-place finish at nationals at the 15-16 level two years ago to placing sixth last year with the 17-18 competition) that he was the youngest rider ever invited to participate in the prestigious EuroCrossCamp last year in Belgium, which prepares young U.S. riders to compete with the world's top cyclocross athletes.
In Belgium it's typical for 60,000-plus spectators to cheer on the riders, and professional cyclocross athletes are routinely featured on reality TV.
Stateside, Weik is sponsored by Focus Bikes and locally by Ski Hut and Thirsty Pagan. Since cyclocross is not an Olympic sport, it receives little funding, so riders must scramble to find sponsors. The Weiks currently are attempting to raise money to fully fund Josey's season.
Weik said that while U.S. courses are challenging, European courses boost the level of difficulty several notches.
"Not only are the courses muddier, but the courses have more varied terrain and the obstacles are a lot crazier," he said.
And a lot more treacherous.
A rider has two choices when approaching an obstacle – either hop it or jump off the bike and carry it over the obstruction.
Since most obstacles come in pairs, Weik said the danger in hopping them is hitting the second barrier wrong and being sent headfirst over the handlebars.
Carrying the bike has its dangers, too.
"Cyclocross is a really on-and-off the bike sport," Weik said. "There's a lot of running involved, depending on how tough the course is. The dismount and the carryover aren't too hard. The biggest thing is getting back on."
And not damaging his … um … manhood.
"There is a special technique to doing it," he said. "If you don't do it right, it's not pretty, and I've done it wrong plenty of times."
But more often than not, Weik's dismount, carry and return are quick, precise and fluid.
Fortunately his Focus bike only weighs about 17 pounds … unless it's caked with mud. In which case, he hits the pits and switches to one of his two backups.
"It's a shorter type of racing than most cycling, so inherently it's very intense and fast," Weik said. "You're going all out the whole time."
And he doesn't let anything slow him down. Not dirt, gravel, mud, sand, snow, ice, tar or grass.

Tactical Thinking: Searching for the right pair
Charles GoochThe Kansas City Star
Against the New York Red Bulls, with all four central defenders on the roster available selection, Sporting Kansas City manager Peter Vermes picked the two newest players; Aurelien Collin and Julio Cesar.
Has Vermes finally landed on the pair of central defenders he has been searching for? It's hard to tell. They were the two players the team sought out in the off-season, both have the specific skills Sporting wanted for this system. But, Vermes has a somewhat turbulent record selecting a steady pair of centerbacks.
In his 48 games as manager, Vermes has started 9 different central defenders in 13 different combinations.
Larry King has had better luck with wives (hes on just No. 7) than Vermes has had with centerbacks.
The most frequent pairing was Jimmy Conrad with Shavar Thomas -- which occurred last season after the team acquired Thomas to stop bleeding soft goals. The next most frequent pairing was Conrad with Matt Besler.
Here's the full list of all of Vermes' pairings, ranked by number of appearances together.
15: Conrad-Thomas, 6-6-3 (W-L-T) ... 1.134 (Goals/Game)
12: Conrad-Besler, 5-5-2 ... 1.25
5: Conrad-Pablo Escobar, 1-2-2 ... 0.8
3: Conrad-Aaron Hohlbein, 1-2-0 ... 1.667
3: Besler-Cesar, 1-1-1 ... 1.334
2: Besler-Escobar, 0-1-1 ... 2
1: Conrad-Rauwshan McKenzie, 0-1-0 ... 1
1: Besler-Hohlbein, 0-1-0 ... 2
1: Hohlbein-Matt Marquess, 0-0-1 ... 2
1: Besler-Roger Espinoza, 0-1-0 ... 3
1: Besler-Collin, 0-1-0 ... 2
1: Cesar-Collin, 0-1-0 ... 1
So, what can we make of those numbers? Well, first KC hasn't been that great (15-23-10) and they've allowed a fair number of goals (62). I realize that central defenders arent the only ones responsible for allowing goals, but really, they have one major job (stop goals) and theres only one reliable stat to show their effectiveness (goals allowed).
Second: Consistency is key. When two defenders were thrown together for just one game (or two), they almost always lost (just two draws out of 8 times). It makes sense as more than one of the one-time duos was the result of an injury or emergency situation (i.e.: The Besler-Espinoza pair or Conrad-McKenzie duo).
Third: The most effective pair in terms of goals allowed per game? Conrad and Escobar. Sample size is everything.
Fourth: Besler has had more defensive partners than Lindsay Lohan has had second chances. He's played 22 games as a starter under Vermes with SIX different players. Which sort of makes the yo-yo ride he took last week somewhat obvious in hindsight and slightly troubling. How does Vermes expect a defender to gain consistency when hes constantly having to learn a new partners habits.
Imagine if you had a new roommate every month. Stands to reason that it will get tiring. One month youve got to write your name in marker on all your food, the next you have to guess whether the new guy drank the milk straight from the carton. (In that analogy, Escobar is definitely the guy drinking Beslers milk from the carton.)
Fifth and finally: Vermes, a former MLS Defender of the Year, is difficult to please.
Conrad left after the team deemed him too expensive and not the right fit; Hohlbein was deemed surplus to requirements.
Besler and Thomas, the second- and third-most used defenders under Vermes and the pair that ended 2010 as the starters, have now been relegated to the reserves.
Vermes said during preseason that rebuilding the defense was a top priority -- and he looked overseas to Portugal for the solution: Cesar and Collin. (It should be noted that Cesar has started every game he's been available in 2011 and Collin entered the fray hours after his ITC was submitted.)
The pair definitely made a return on Vermes' selection, holding one of the most potent defenses in Major League Soccer to just the lone goal. Collin is the physical presence, Cesar is the distributor.
Now, how long can they last together?

ø Ignore ThaumaturgeMonte Cook is Leaving WotC, Again
From his blog-
Last week I decided that I would leave my contract position with Wizards of the Coast. I am no longer working on Dungeons & Dragons, although I may provide occasional consultation in the future. My decision is one based on differences of opinion with the company. However, I want to take this time to stress that my differences were not with my fellow designers, Rob Schwalb and Bruce Cordell. I enjoyed every moment of working with them over the past year. I have faith that they'll create a fun game. I'm rooting for them.
Thaumaturge."I use dice, roller skates, nitrous oxide, some of that mud they use on baseballs, an opossum (stuffed-not live), a pen (pencils are weak), Crown Royal, one of those big foam cowboy hats, vintage barbies, and pointy elf ears.
My game style is way more gamist than simulationist." -The Rouse.

WMI and the reincarnation of the keyboard
WMI is a lean and fast window manager with good
support for keyboard control.
Keyboard fans who prefer a lean
environment have a difficult
time. Most window managers
have menus, panels, or even icons, but
launching individual programs is
restricted to point & click. Large-scale
projects such as KDE and Gnome
include sophisticated animations and
other functions that many users do not
need, and these functions have the effect
of slowing down the window manager.
Window Manager Improved (WMI) is
a fast and lean window manager with a
special emphasis on the keyboard [1].
WMI offers extra speed that improves
the user experience on older hardware.

By ABC7 Chief Meteorologist John Patrick - bio | email | Twitter | Facebook
As we head into Wednesday, clouds will increase ahead of the next cold front to pass through Southwest Florida. It won't be as cool overnight with the clouds moving in. Expect low-mid 60s overnight.
Wednesday gets breezy, with 15-25 MPH wind expected, with higher gusts. Wind will come off of the Gulf of Mexico, so beaches will run a little cooler than the inland areas Wednesday. The high is forecast at 82º.
Wednesday night, a few showers fall over the region ahead of the cold front that passes just before dawn Thursday. About a quarter to a half an inch of rain is expected.
Thursday, the wind turns to the northwest, the north during the afternoon. This change in the wind will clear the early morning lingering clouds and usher in chillier air. Friday morning is expected to start in the 40s for a lot of us!
The weekend will be warmer, with highs getting back into the low 80s both Saturday and Sunday with a mostly to partly sunny sky this weekend.

Speaking at Texas A&M last week, actor Danny Glover weighed in on the current gun control debate.
Glover told a student gathering, "I don't know if you know the genesis of the right to bear arms. The Second Amendment comes from the right to protect themselves from slave revolts, and from uprisings by Native Americans."
To emphasize the point, Glover restated, "A revolt from people who were stolen from their land or revolt from people whose land was stolen from, that's what the genesis of the Second Amendment is."
Talk show host Thom Hartmann picked up the theme in a truth-out.org article titled "The Second Amendment was Ratified to Preserve Slavery."
Trashing the Constitution has become commonplace on campus and in Hollywood, but this theme is false beyond the usual distortions of our founding document.
The Second Amendment (part of the Bill of Rights) reads:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
The genesis of the Second Amendment had nothing to do with slavery. It was born as a guarantee against tyranny by the central government.
In the 1770s, every Englishman (including colonists) was required to be armed and to be on call whenever the king needed to wage war. The "militia" was every able-bodied adult male. The militia was "regulated" by local elected officers.
Most importantly, the militia was seen as a protection for British citizen rights and against the tyranny of the king. The writers of the 1789 U.S. Constitution had vividly in mind the battles that started the Revolutionary War at Lexington and Concord.
The British redcoats marched against the farmers of the local militia in those Massachusetts towns to seize their weapons. Paul Revere warned "the redcoats are coming" but the rest of the warning was "to take your guns and powder."
Determined to keep their arms, the farmers fired the "shot heard 'round the world." This is the "genesis" of the Second Amendment.
Noah Webster wrote at the time of the debate over the Constitution: "The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the whole body of the people are armed ... ."
Webster warned against a standing army controlled by the central government: "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe."
George Mason, in the debate over ratifying the Constitution, noted that the British king's objective in the recent Revolutionary War was "to disarm the people. That was the best way to enslave them."
Even before the Constitution was ratified by the states, eight of the 13 new states had incorporated the English militia concept into their state constitutions.
Their concern was to protect liberty. For example, here is the wording of the Pennsylvania Constitution adopted in 1776:
"That the people have the right to bear arms for the defense of themselves and the state, and as standing armies in time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be kept up ... ."
Similar language is found in state constitutions adopted before the U.S. Constitution from Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts to North Carolina and Virginia. From non-slave-holding states to slaveholding states.
Slavery was not the reason for the Second Amendment. The overriding concern of the Founders was to insure individual liberty and protect that liberty from the federal government.
The liberty of slaves was not protected. In slaveholding states, the militias composed of slave holders no doubt were involved in suppressing slave revolts as far back as 1755.
It is also true that militias (every able-bodied man) were called out to protect settlers during Indian wars.
But these instances were not the cause of the adoption of the Second Amendment. The pervasive experience of the bloody Revolutionary War was the "genesis" of the campaign by anti-Federalists to attach a Bill of Rights to the Constitution, including the right to "bear arms."
After the Civil War, the 14th Amendment imposed the Bill of Rights on the states, including the Second Amendment right to bear arms. This greatly troubled Southern Democrats.
In fact, the concept of "gun control" was first introduced (as a ban on "Saturday-night specials") by segregationist Southern Democrats to keep blacks from being armed.
The first mass confiscation of guns was carried out by the 7th Cavalry against the Sioux after Little Bighorn, which led to the Massacre at Wounded Knee.
Danny Glover and Thom Hartmann ought to get their history straight.

Gordon left to pick up kids from school to take them to the dentist appointment. I am eating microwaved Brussels sprouts. I love the damn things and this way I can eat them and wash the bowl before they come back, so nobody will tell me they are disgusting.
Miriam writes:
Vaguely, I think you mentioned this once, but I don't know where. Do books that are pre-ordered get counted when they figure out the NYT (and other) best sellers list? Is it to your advantage if we pre-order books or wait until they are actually out? Do E-books count?
Short answer: depends on the publisher.
Some quick facts:
NYT now has two lists: print and e-books. NYT measures how fast the book sells compared to other books. For example, a mass market paperback that sells about 8,000 copies in the release week will likely make an appearance on NYT.
Print books count for print NYT, provided they are ordered from a store that reports to NYT. BN, Amazon, Powells, etc. E-books are counted toward e-NYT and I have no clue where they get their numbers. They just started doing this.
All books are shipped to stores a few days prior to release.
Some books have a hard release, meaning, they can't be put on the shelf prior to the official street date. Usually the publisher pays the retailer or creates some sort of agreement to make sure that BNA (Big Name Author) books are hard-released.
Some books have a soft release, meaning the retailers throw them on whenever.
Some publishers, like Avon, have agreements in place with the retailers, which, in certain cases, specify that books sold pre-release are counted toward the release week. So if BNA author Poopsie sells 1,000 units in the weeks before the release, and then sells 5,000 copies in the release week, her total for release week is 6,000 copies.
To my knowledge, Ace usually doesn't do that. Our editor always tries, but things are complicated on the retailer end, so it's hit or miss.
Why is all this goblegook important to the authors? Two reasons:
a) NYT on your book makes you be noticed and hopefully sell better and even get better marketing (not always!) and
b) Bonuses. On this coming up contract, if we hit NYT and stay on it for a bit, we get extra money. But this money is drawn against our future earnings, so we'd get like $2,000 now vs $2,000 six months later. So we get the money either way.
How does all of this silliness affect the reader? It doesn't. You shouldn't have anxiety when you go to a book store or when you preorder. You shouldn't worry about when to buy the book or how it will affect the author. If you like the book, get it. A sale is a sale and we thank you for it.
So, the plan is, if you find the book early and you want it, buy it. If you see it early – score! You get the book early. Email us if you liked it. We'll be totally happy for you.
[callout]If you find the book early and you want it, buy it. You get the book early. Score! Email us if you liked it. We'll be totally happy for you.[/callout]
As a further proof of the "okayness" of this, we've been soft released every year. In fact, last year MAGIC BLEEDS hit NYT one week before its release. Which caused no end of hilarity. Our editor called, terribly excited. Then our agent called and said, "How in the world did this even happen?" Our publisher still likes us. We're still writing. No catastrophe occurred due to soft release.
To be completely honest, unless we hit Number 1 on NYT, it doesn't affect us much and we aren't hitting it this release, I can tell you that. I've seen the numbers #1 gets. :P Besides, if we do hit #1, that puts us on a fast track toward hard cover. I wouldn't pay $25 for one of our books. That's just crazy talk.
Bottom line: all we ask is that if you are interested in our books, you get them by legal means: buy it, borrow it from the library, borrow it from a friends, lend it electronically, if it's enabled. Whatever works. Just don't pirate our work, and if you do, well you suck. I think less of you.
PS. Please remember that while I may bellyache and worry and display anxiety about the release on this blog, it's just evidence of me being a normal human being. I blog about whatever is bothering me in that particular moment and releases do tend to be stressful. You sit there and hope the book doesn't tank and that you won't get a bunch of really upset emails, but the reality is, it might end up that way. If it does, we'll deal with it on our end, and we'll just keep swimming and try to do better next time.

Maca Magic Express Extract -- 4 fl oz
OK Purchase
I believe it is a good quality product, have used just a few times, yet the other brand I was using I felt the effects immediately which I did not feel with this one, yet I believe each body is different and could be that it has a different acceptance for each body.

Maca Magic Express Gives Energy
When I don't sleep well (which is quite often due to hot flashes), I take some of this tincture in a little bit of water to help give me energy. The powder form of Maca Magic is also good mixed with a little milk, but it takes longer to prepare than the tincture, and time is important when you are getting ready for work. I like the flavor of both the tincture and the powder.

By Hounds PR | 9/5/13 4:35 PM
Following a three-day tryout over Labor Day weekend that saw 94 of America's premier professional and collegiate lacrosse players give it their all in Baltimore, US Lacrosse has named 52 standouts to the U.S. Men's National Team training roster, including five members of the Charlotte Hounds.
Attackmen Matt Danowski and Ryan Young, short-stick defensive midfielders Chris Schiller and Kevin Drew, along with defenseman Brett Schmidt, have all advanced to the next stage of evaluation for a chance to represent Team USA at the 2014 Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) World Championships in Denver, Colo., on July 10-19.
The duo of Danowski and Young carried the Hounds' offense in 2013, as both players posted career bests in goals and points. The veteran Danowski led the way with 54 points (36-8-10), followed closely by Young with 50 points (36g, 14a). The third-year player earned a 2013 All-Star selection for his breakout season. Also getting his first All-Star nod in 2013 was Schmidt, who led the defense with 45 groundballs and added 4 points (2-1-1).
Meanwhile, Drew was key to the Hounds' wing play and transition game. He tallied 25 groundballs and 5 points (2g, 3a). Schiller, who was only able to compete in the first half of the season due to the birth of his twin daughters, recorded six groundballs. He is the only Hounds player to have previously represented Team USA, as he was a member of the 2010 squad that won Gold with a 12-10 victory over Canada in Manchester, England.
All eight MLL teams have at least three players on the training roster, with 2013 MLL Champion Bayhawks leading the pack with 11. The Outlaws and Lizards follow with eight players each, while the Cannons have seven on the list. The Rattlers, like the Hounds, are represented with five team members, while the Machine and Nationals round out the list of MLL players selected with three each.
The 52 selected players will train with Team USA at a series of fall and winter events, culminating with Champion Challenge, a US Lacrosse event, Jan. 24-26 at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Danowski and Schmidt were both part of the same event in January 2013.
Following the Champion Challenge, head coach Richie Meade and his staff will trim the roster down to 23 men who will travel to Denver and compete for a record 10th world title for the Red, White and Blue.
See the complete 52-player roster.

How to find your Mac's serial number
Your Mac's serial number is required for warranty service, among other benefits that Apple offers its customers. Therefore, while not commonly used, you may occasionally need to look it up. While you can always look on your Mac's chassis to find the printed label that contains the serial number, there are a number of additional ways do do this, some of which are more convenient than others.
Besides using the Mac's chassis, the easiest way to find your Mac's serial number is to use the About This Mac information panel that's in the Apple menu. … Read more

The needle should be driven into the tissue by an angel of about 45… and following this weight increase treatment the patient should be a little bugger in about a month's time.
A specimen of urine should be taken from all new patients, tested and then placed in the patients file.
In a case of high temperature the patient's four heads should be sponged.
In a case of poisoning an anecdote should be urgently investigated.
In cases of constipation, olive oil should be injected into the rectum.
A nurse should follow this later with a mixture of soap and water.
Dangerous drugs must be kept locked up with the ward sister.
Talking of using anecdotes, Howard followed this list with some anecdotes.
Husband, on telephone to a hospital: "Has my wife had the baby yet, nurse?"
"Yes, sir, she had it about half an hour ago."
"Oh, splendid! Is it a girl or a boy?"
"We don't know yet, we are still trying to get it down off the curtain rail."
A doctor asked a patient: "Do you have problems with concentration since the accident?"
The patient said: "Oh, no! I eat lots of prunes."
You don't need to buy a satnav (satellite navigating system) for your car. Well, not if you are in Richard Stewart's position. He sent me this:
I have a little satnav It sits there in my car A satnav is a driver's friend It tells you where you are
I have a little satnav I've had it all my life It does more than the normal one My satnav is my wife
It gives me full instructions On exactly how to drive "It's 60 kays an hour," it says "And you're doing seventy five"
It tells me when to stop and start And when to use the brake And tells me that it's never ever Safe to overtake
It tells me when a light is red And when it goes to green It seems to know instinctively Just when to intervene
I'm sure no other driver Has so helpful a device For when we leave and lock the car It still gives its advice
It fills me up with counselling Each journey's pretty fraught So why don't I exchange it And get a quieter sort?
Ah well, you see, it cleans the house Makes sure I'm properly fed It washes all my shirts and things And – keeps me warm in bed!

Steve Vigar City Skylines Chess Set
Filed under: Decor
Chess sets come in all shapes and sizes, and this one designed by Steve Vigar makes a statement by pitting famous cities like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco against each other.

The board is made of solid zebra wood and whangee, and the felt-lined storage drawer underneath is an optional addition. $2,100
Hm, now which two cities to choose?

Many of my plans came to fruition (no pun intended) but I forgot how much work it can be keeping up with everything. The pounds and pounds of unrelenting process-us-now or else tomatoes. The unyielding siege of summer squash. The diligent delivery of eggs. The baking from scratch, the home-cooked meals, the hand-knit Christmas presents. Not to mention keeping the house in decent shape, the front (non-edible at this point) yard weeded, the patio swept, the cats cared for and so on.
My dad visited in the midst of tomato-fest. He looked at my two kids - ages 6 and 8 - and said: "It's too much work for one person to keep all this up."
Yeah! What had I been thinking. Keeping up a homestead is quite a bit of work! These weren't just beings who needed help with homework, required lunches packed for them, prodding to clean up their rooms, help folding their laundry. These were little homesteaders perfectly capable of pitching in big time - beyond the set the table/clear the table sort of thing. Heck, in the Little House on the Prairie days (my kids hate it when I bring this up), kids their age would be out plowing, chopping wood, baking, you name it.
I set about asking for help. Big zero. Demanding help. Not much more.
And then, Pinterest came to the rescue. I came across the idea of the Job Jar.
I promptly brainstormed all the little things I do during that day that a 6 and 8 year old could help with. Man there was a lot - a lot that would help me keep my head above water and keep me a step ahead of the chaos. A lot of places where some well placed child labor could keep the homestead afloat.
The Implement:
My Job Jar is a thrifted canister filled with folded paper notes. It works well and didn't cost a dime but the kids keep picking the same jobs over and over again. I might switch to popsicle sticks or wine corks (here's the general idea with ping pong balls).
A Facebook page commenter suggested a job wheel. Here's a handy one for multiple kids.
A blogger friend uses a coat hook type of solution.
And, if you are willing to pay for the chore beyond regular allowance, chore magnets are a fun idea.
The Follow Through:
Now, when my kids get a consequence (in lieu of the time out system), they have to do a job from the job jar. If they leave toys and such out after they go to bed or don't clean up their rooms, whatever's left lying about goes into the ransom box (another Pinterest find). It can be ransomed by one job per item.
We have regular, daily jobs that the kids need to do to earn their weekly allowance but I suppose job jar pickings could be tied to the allowance as well.
Have you tried a system like a job jar? How did it work for you? How do you get your kids to pitch in?

[JURIST] The US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] ruled [opinion, PDF] 6-3 Wednesday in Winter v. National Resources Defense Council [Cornell LII backgrounder; JURIST report] that the US Navy may continue using sonar as part of military training exercises, despite environmentalists' concerns for the impact this has on whales and other marine life. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority:
We do not discount the importance of plaintiffs ecological, scientific, and recreational interests in marine mammals. Those interests, however, are plainly outweighed by the Navys need to conduct realistic training exercises to ensure that it is able to neutralize the threat posed by enemy submarines.
In light of the likely, substantial harm to the environment, [National Resource Defense Councils] almost inevitable success on the merits of its claim that [the National Environmental Policy Act] required the Navy to prepare an [Environmental Impact Statement], the history of this litigation, and the public interest, I cannot agree that the mitigation measures the District Court imposed signal an abuse of discretion.

Lovelace Fights UNM Proposal For New Hospital
By KRWG News And Partners
The operator of a downtown Albuquerque hospital says the University of New Mexico shouldn't build a new university hospital.
Lovelace Health System says its downtown Lovelace Medical Center can take patients when University Medical Center's own beds are full.
Lovelace says a bed-sharing agreement would make that possible.
A university official tells the Albuquerque Journal that there's been no discussions with Lovelace and that the proposed agreement would violate federal rules.
The university is proposing to build a new $146 million hospital but has yet to win approval from the state Board of Finance.
The UNM hospital is the state's only Level 1 trauma center.

Dude you really like putting words in peoples mouths. All I said is that I don't remember the 2005 season all to well so I'm not going to comment on it. I can't defend what I know little about effectively now can I?
Where did I say that he played horribly because of Gary Matthews Jr not playing? Nowhere. I said he was injured and had no protection thanks to Garret Anderson being half blind. My whole point is about lineup protection and he didn't have any in 04 and 07.
This is why I left the discussion the first time we had it. You have a habit of taking things out of context and I just didn't care to get into it. Can you honestly say that you know the Angels inside and out so well that you can make the statements that you make with absolute certainty? Or are you a fantasy baseball playing stat geek who makes up his mind by looking at statistics?

That's not the worst of it, either. The solution this season cannot be what it was last season. Holgorsen and his offensive coordinator, Shannon Dawson, can't pull back and plan for less. They can't be more conservative.
Not in the Big 12, where offenses are salivating over the prospect of mining gold from the defense the Mountaineers have no choice but to put on the field. There is no defense to fall back on and ask to stand up and support a more reasoned offensive approach.
There's not even incentive to believe it might happen, not as injuries accumulate and freshmen are put into big spots. Not with the way WVU arm tackles and tries everything to cover people. It is a massive difference between last season and this one.
"There's only a certain amount of coverages we can run, only a certain amount of run plays we can run," Holgorsen said. "If you try to do a whole bunch more to make up for deficiencies with more plays, it confuses them more than anything."
Make personnel changes? The Mountaineers are doing that. They're changing starters and backups on offense and defense and special teams and they're nearing the end of the line. WVU used 26 players on defense against Kansas State - and that doesn't count four other regulars who didn't play. WVU's defense doesn't have 26 players, or 30, to ably combat a team as mature and precise as Kansas State.
The good news, you could say, is there are few options left to consider.
"The biggest motivation in college football is playing time, but you don't want to sit a guy down that you don't think has a guy behind him that is better than him," Holgorsen said. "You want to play the better player. You want to use playing as a motivation if you can, but our depth is the issue."
There is no simple solution, no precedent to make part of the present. This is a week-by-week thing now as players are forced to mature and act tough and prove they belong. Coaches must continue to find out who can do what while they're finding out what works for the players they can trust.
"It's going to be games before we find out what we're made of," Holgorsen said.
There are no gimmicks. The schemes are the schemes. The players are the players. The quotes suggest neither is changing, which means the coaches have something to keep them busy during this off week.
"If you try to manufacture plays, manufacture people, come up with tricks or any of that, that's not the solution," Holgorsen said. "What we've been talking about the last three days is what we can do on all three sides of the ball that we're good at.
"That's what we need to do. We'll probably narrow down some things and focus on getting better at some of the stuff we're good at and then try to build some confidence."

Rahall said Republicans who voted against the plan were afraid of being "primaried" by more conservative Republicans in the 2014 primary elections.
McKinley is up for reelection in 2014 and Capito is running for U.S. Senate in 2014. Out-of-state groups representing the Republican Party's right-most flank have already attacked her on fiscal issues.
Both McKinley and Capito denied the primaries played any role in their vote.
Rockefeller said if Congress failed to pass the bill taxes would have gone up for low- and middle-income West Virginians.
"I refused to let that happen, despite warped efforts by House Republicans to place more of the burden on those already hurting," Rockefeller said.
McKinley said Congress is going to have to do something to cut spending because the nation's debt load is unsustainable.
"Sooner or later we have to pay for that," McKinley said.
McKinley said the fraught fiscal cliff negotiations ended up hurting everybody. But he was especially unhappy with House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican. Some Republicans were unhappy with the terms of the final deal.
"Am I happy with him?" McKinley said. "No."
Still, McKinley said he supported Boehner.
Playing a sort of Goldilocks, Manchin said the whole deal was "the good, the bad and the ugly."
"I knew that going over the cliff was the wrong thing to do," he said.
In Manchin's view, the good is that Congress avoided many tax hikes; the bad is that the country did not come up with a "big fix" for its budget problems; and the ugly is that Congress will have a similar fight again in two months when lawmakers have to decide if they should let the government borrow more money.

Internet captivated by Bigfoot hunters' press conference
It's the ultimate summer Friday news story: CNN Webcasting a press conference hosted by the men who claim they nabbed a dead body of the legendary creature known as Bigfoot.
Bigfoot hunter Tom Biscardi held the press conference in Palo Alto, Calif., in conjunction with Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, the two men from Georgia who claim that they found the corpse while hiking. Biscardi wouldn't actually show the body, saying that he had invited Fox News reporter Megan Kelly to show it on-air and that a number of scientists would be performing an autopsy on Monday.

Hi, I have been using Mac Sword for almost a year now, and I absolutely love it. I sincerely say thanks and "God bless" to the developers of this wonderful tool. The only issue I have had, is that my options menu hasn't ever been "operational." By this, I mean that the only selectable options on the menu are the following: Make Text Bigger Make Text Smaller Footnotes Variants Verses On One Line The one feature that I have really been missing are the Strong's numbers. Can someone please explain to me why this menu is inactive (grayed-out) and how I can activate the Strong's number's feature, please? Thanks-a-million, and God bless you. In Christ, Ryan |

Hi Ryan. The option menu items are enabled if the module supports them. Have you tried our KJV module? It has Strong's numbers. Regards, Manfred |

Best EDs Focus on Flow
More hospitals are operating or attempting to get involved in running urgent care centers. Some 51% operate urgent care centers or have a formal or informal relationship with one. An overwhelming 78%, however, said a freestanding ED is not in their plans.
Outpatient programs will be continually crucial as health systems try to relieve the pressure on the ED, and innovation is needed, says Newbold. "The ED is so complex, and you have different levels of care needed," he says. "We have big gaps that we have to close as an industry." Newbold says his system and others need to be innovative and "start setting up EDs in areas that will take the load off the current EDs, with 24-hour urgent care centers and convenience express care centers.
And while most healthcare leaders said they have programs or initiatives specifically aimed at addressing patient experience in the ED, nearly one in five does not.
"It is time to think fundamentally about better experiences for the patients," Newbold says. "Over time, people will be shopping for lower waiting times and compare satisfaction scores, like a retail experience."

I think it's safe to say the refereeing was poor. Both sides had inconsistent calls against them. Gerrard could have seen red as well.
Congrats on the win guys. Should have been a tie IMO, but someone by the name of Webb ruined things. I think we can all agree that it was a 100% penalty. Saurez...
