Kyrie Irving's adding a post-up game, and says his hand is 110%
At Cleveland Cavaliers Media Day today, Kyrie Irving told those in attendance that his right hand is "110% percent" heading into training camp. He also added that his "left hand floater is something serious". This after being without his strong hand for much of the summer, the result of slapping a padded wall at Vegas Summer League practice.
Appearing without a brace on his right hand for the first time since suffering the injury, Kyrie Irving was sporting a new scar. Not unlike the one Tony Montana had on his face. I'm of the personal belief that all legends should have at least one visible scar, so this is an encouraging development.
Irving also appeared bigger than he did last season as a rookie.
I assumed he added a few pounds because he was recently limited in 5-on-5 action due to the injury. When asked, however, Kyrie said that adding weight this off-season was a personal goal of his. He said that he felt the additional weight will help him withstand the season long pounding he'll receive while attacking the basket.
To an extent, that part made sense. I was initially surprised to hear him say, however, that he added the weight to help him post up this season. He said the post-up game is an area he wanted to improve on offensively, and something he's been working on. So while there's 51 games of NBA film out on Irving right now, this adjustment might be one that he's making in anticipation of defenses adjusting to him.
How do I feel about the idea of Kyrie Irving posting up?
Depends where on the court he's actually doing it. On the block, up to five feet away the basket? That would be a bad idea. But if he's talking about posting up on the baseline, ten to twelve feet away, and then using that space he creates for a fade-away jumpshot? I'm all for that. Especially if it hits at anywhere near the rate that Michael Jordan used to convert that same move.
Speaking of Michael Jordan, Kyrie Irving was also sporting his new customized Nike shoe. The personalized Nike Hyperfuses he was wearing with KYRIE on the tongue are pictured below:
I asked Irving how much say he had in the design, which features the wine and gold colorway. He said he "had all of the say". Kyrie went on to add that he's honored to see his name on a Nike shoe.
Editor's Note: I'll have more on Media Day throughout the Week. Be back later with Dion Waiters, Anderson Varejao, Tyler Zeller and the rest of your 2012-13 Cleveland Cavaliers. Training Camp starts tomorrow.

Using wireless devices to communicate within departments in a company is a hot topic. The Internet and handheld computers have added new features and capabilities; however, this is not a new topic in the maintenance field. We have been using RF, bar coding, pagers, and more recently, cell phones to communicate for years.
While there are a number of issues to be resolved, the wireless world seems inevitable, at least according to the reviews by industry experts. The convergence of the Internet and this wireless world holds the promise of many opportunities for maintenance personnel to increase their efficiency and ultimately reduce operating costs.
With computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) now available for use over the Internet from application service providers (ASP) for a rental fee, one part of the puzzle is in place. The promise of wireless technology is that maintenance personnel can access, from any work location, their CMMS application to review work orders, check manuals and equipment drawings, enter labor and parts used, or browse the Internet for pertinent information.
For more than a year now, on-line software rental has allowed organizations to use sophisticated software applications on their personal computers for a low monthly service fee. Internet delivery of maintenance management software reduces the overall cost of the CMMS application, while it eliminates the need of organizations to maintain and upgrade these software modules. This is all part of the service included in the monthly rental fee, as is implementation assistance, training, and on-going support. (See accompanying section "ASP Delivery Model.")
The wireless connection
With this CMMS software delivery model in place, we have to determine the part to be played by wireless technologies. These technologies need to be reviewed to evaluate what benefits flexible communications can bring to the maintenance department. Ask the following questions:
The cost of supporting wired infrastructures and their inherent static design provides a significant opportunity for wireless technology. We are in the early stages of delivering the technology to a maintenance department because much of what is reviewed is material such as pictures, drawings, text, and manuals.
Three tools or one?
Based on my review of the state of wireless technologies, a maintenance staffer would need a pager, cell phone, and handheld computer in his toolbox to deliver all of the hype promised. He also would need communications protocols from one of the five or six major suppliers.
Unfortunately, these protocols are neither standard nor compatible between different devices. Europe has adopted a standard called Global System for Mobile Communications, while North America has several competing standards. Pagers will work in most environments, cell phones will work only in certain areas, and handheld devices are supported only in large cities for on-line Internet access.
In certain specialized areas where mobility is the main criteria, such as for service management personnel, contractors, or managers of multiple facilities, there is definitely a benefit to using wireless technology to provide information at the service site. For plant maintenance personnel, wireless has a fairly limited application at this time because of the size of the devices and the need to have more than one device.
But, there is hope. The next generation of devices is predicted to combine the necessary features that would be beneficial for a maintenance department. The incorporation of an Internet browser in a cell phone allows the sourcing of parts and specifications via the Internet. It also allows limited database access to the CMMS. The necessary communications protocol will be available in most areas of North America in the near future.
When these events take place, maintenance personnel will be able to remotely sign on to their Internet-delivered CMMS application, review parts availability, select the preferred supplier, call the supplier, place a requisition on the system, receive notification when the part arrives, and surf the Internet for the latest manual on the appropriate piece of equipment.
The convergence of these technologies is happening today, but until that time, I suggest we continue to use the proven approach of a phone, pager, bar coding, and desktop PC to provide the information needed for maintenance operations. MT
The application service provider (ASP) delivery model has a number of advantages for the software application user:

Wilson High to talk banning Redskins gear
Friday - 10/11/2013, 7:16pm  ET
WASHINGTON - The debate over the Washington Redskins name is coming to the classroom.
ABC7 reports a student at Woodrow Wilson High School in Northwest D.C. approached the school's principal, Pete Cahall, and said she felt the school should ban Redskins clothing because the name is offensive to Native Americans.
"We are enforcing the 'dress code' strictly this year and she felt it should be a part of the dress code," Cahall wrote in an email to ABC7.
Cahall said he plans to discuss with his school's student council officers the idea of prohibiting Redskins clothing at school.
"As you know, Wilson is a very diverse school community (which) embraces our diversity and people's differences," Cahall wrote.
The discussion will take place in a few weeks, according to Fox 5 reporter Matt Ackland:
Principal says he will speak to the student government about it in a few weeks. No decision has been made yet.

Facing Up to Our Ignorance
Diane Ravitch shares a timely lesson: We don't (yet) know how to save schools.
Barack Obama inherited George W. Bush's war—not just in Iraq and Afghanistan, but also in the nation's public schools. Bush's battle plan was to criticize teachers' unions, increase the number of charter schools, and promote testing and accountability through No Child Left Behind, his signature legislation. Over the past year, Obama has done more than continue to prosecute his predecessor's war. In a surprise to many, he has quietly escalated it, even as the intelligence on which this war was founded has come under increasing scrutiny. If few have noticed, well, the country has been a little distracted by health care reform and the disastrous economy. But as Diane Ravitch argues in The Death and Life of the Great American School System, it's time we paid attention. Much has already been made of Ravitch's book, in which she has renounced her long-standing support of charter schools and NCLB. Her change of heart is notable because she is one of the nation's most serious and credible education scholars. In a career spanning four decades, she's written multiple histories and been an influential voice in policy debates, challenging both the reflexive right and left at different points over the years. But like a general who can no longer ignore the mounting casualties of a war she helped to propagate, she now argues the battle cannot be won under the current terms of engagement. In this sense, her book arrives with the force of the Pentagon Papers. Ravitch, of course, isn't revealing state secrets—but it sometimes seems as if she is, given how counter much of the evidence she presents runs to prevailing wisdom about education reform.
Ravitch takes aim at the centerpiece of the Obama administration's education surge: a crusading confidence that data—derived from testing—can tell us all we need to know not just about what's wrong with failing schools, but how to fix them. The view underpins Obama's primary offensive, his "Race to the Top" fund. States submit proposals, and the winners get a chance to take home some of the unprecedented $4 billion in federal stimulus money earmarked for reform. But in order for states to be considered, they must not only lift caps on the number of charter schools in their states but also start collecting more data than required under NCLB, to guide a last innovation: performance pay for teachers, which states must likewise agree to embrace. Congress and most state legislatures have historically opposed unlimited charter schools and merit pay, but in these cash-strapped times, few states can afford to say no.
In addition, this past week Obama announced an initiative that would direct nearly $1 billion of federal aid to 5,000 failing high schools, provided their districts take drastic measures, such as firing half of a school's teachers or immediately turning the schools into charters. Ravitch tweeted in response: "If we close 5,000 low performing schools, where will we find 5,000 great new principals and hundreds of thousands of great teachers?"
She argues that if we think the data hold the answer, we're indulging in wishful thinking, and her case should be enough to unsettle the best and the brightest as they take their turn at reform. Teacher quality, recruitment, and retention have become the new frontlines of this reform, spurred in part by powerful computer programs that can now mine mountains of data with relative ease. Ravitch focuses on the analyses of William Sanders, then a statistician at the University of Tennessee, whose previous work was in agriculture, manufacturing, and engineering. Drawing on past studies rather than on visits to classrooms, he decided that the single most important variable affecting students' performance is their teacher. (This is contrary to much research that suggests levels of poverty, health, parental education, and peer influences have equal or greater impact.) Since teachers' abilities vary widely, Sanders developed models for performing what is known as "value-added assessments"—that is, determining how much specific teachers boost achievement (based on test scores) for specific students over time.
Enter Stanford economists Eric Hanushek and Steven Rivkin, whose further explorations Ravitch scrutinizes. * They looked at how different variables—certification, general education level, salary—affected teacher quality. Nothing, in their judgment, was predictive. "A good teacher," they concluded, "would be one who consistently obtained high learning growth from students, while a poor teacher would be one who consistently produced low learning growth." So schools, they argued, should just open the profession to anyone and see who sinks or swim. They offered a tidy formula for how swimmers could be saviors: If a student had a teacher in the 85th percentile of teachers for five years in a row, they calculated, this would be enough to eliminate the persistent "achievement gap" between low-income and high-income students—the still-elusive grail of reform.
Hanuchek and Rivkin understandably want to improve the quality of instruction in impoverished schools, which undeniably can become repositories for the worst teachers. What Ravitch doubts is that this intervention all by itself can realistically promise to turn around failing schools in such extraordinary fashion, without any attention to other variables that affect student outcomes. And as a practical matter, she asks, how are schools—especially in inner-city neighborhoods—supposed to attract these large stables of consistent superstars? As Ravitch writes, "This is akin to saying baseball teams should consist only of players who hit over .300 and pitchers who win at least 20 games every season; after all, such players exist, so why should not such teams exist." The model also assumes yearly gains are cumulative, when most studies show that students (particularly low-income students) backslide substantially during summer months. At the very least, such an intervention would likely need to be coupled with efforts to extend the school day and school year.
But perhaps most damning, Ravitch writes:
No school or school district or state anywhere in the nation had ever proved the theory correct. Nowhere was there a real-life demonstration in which a district had identified a top quintile of teachers, assigned low-performing students to their classes, and improved the test-scores of low-performing students so dramatically in three, four or five years that the black-white test score gap closed.
Yet suddenly this one theory is driving reform. This is why Obama wants states to gather more data. He wants to tie individual students' scores to individual teachers, so achievement can be monitored not only school by school but also classroom by classroom, and then teachers can be fired or given raises accordingly.
Ravitch, however, argues that the past eight years should leave us wary of relying solely on isolated test results for high-stakes decision-making. She isn't against tests per se—or even tests being used as one element in a more comprehensive evaluation system. Schools have to have some way of judging performance, and Ravitch praises the National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP, given periodically to representative samples of students, as the gold standard. But the state tests developed under NCLB, she maintains, are terrible. They are devoid of real content and have created a culture of test-prep that is inimical to real education. Such arguments are not new—indeed, many of Ravitch's old opponents (back when she was on the pro-NCLB side) have been making this case for years.

One team will savor a much-needed victory Saturday night at Central Michigan University's McGuirk Arena. For the other, the search will continue.
Miami (7-12) and CMU (9-11) are set to square off in a Mid-American Conference men's basketball matchup of struggling squads. The RedHawks have lost four straight games — the Chippewas' losing streak is three.
"The key for us is that we've got to take care of ourselves and make sure we're doing what we're supposed to do," MU coach John Cooper said. "It doesn't matter if we're not locked into our roles."
First-year Central coach Keno Davis has six freshmen on his roster and said he's focusing on the long haul.
"We know it's a process," Davis said. "I think it's important for any team, but especially a young team with a new staff, that you don't get too high after the wins or too low after the losses. You have to focus on improvement and effort, and we've pretty consistently been able to show that. I like what I've seen from my team."
CMU has just one double-digit scorer, senior guard Kyle Randall (16.7). The Chippewas are putting up 24.5 treys per game and shooting 32.2 percent from that distance, with Randall and freshman forward Blake Hibbitts combining for 77 makes.
It's a game that features teams with similar styles. Both prefer full-court, up-tempo basketball.
"It's something that I want this program to be about," Davis said. "You're seeing some glimpses from us."
Other facts to consider: These are the two worst teams in the MAC in scoring defense (70.6 for Central, 70.4 for Miami). And both coaches indicated that lineup changes are not out of the question.
"When you've got younger guys that you're trying to motivate and keep them going in practice, sometimes changing that lineup may be re-energizing and motivating as well," Davis said.
Cooper started his two freshmen, Geovonie McKnight and Reggie Johnson, in Wednesday's 72-68 loss to Western Michigan. Everybody but Josh Sewell — "Coach's decision," Cooper said — saw action, and that included Jared Tadlock, who hadn't played since Dec. 30.
"He earned it," Cooper said of Tadlock, who won't be at CMU because of a death in his family. "You try to put kids out there that try to do what you ask them to do, and he had. He went in and played hard.
"I always say there's no such thing as sending a message. You earn your playing time. You show the coaches every day in practice that you're doing what you're supposed to be doing. That's all it is. I don't make this some grand deal here because it's really not. It's your track record, what you've proven, your attitude, your focus."
Cooper liked his team's effort against WMU, but said communication and attention to detail must improve.
Miami at Central Michigan, 7 p.m., 1450, 1230, 980, 101.3

Fletcher Kicks Springs to Win - Full Report |
School Age - Boys |
The visitors got on board quickly as they consolidated kickoff ball and, after a pair of near-channel forward charges, inside center Chris Kunkel crashed into space and outpaced the chase 60 meters. Kunkel's try was converted by right wing Nate Fletcher and it was 7-0 at two minutes. East got some back when the Grizzlies were pinged for not rolling away at the tackle, and Angel scrumhalf Jackson Bock drilled the penalty goal from 30 out, just off the right post. A period of action between the 22s as both sides worked their mauls and short rumbles, but handling errors and sloppy play at breakdown caused turnovers until East were pinged for improper binding in the set and Fletcher, who had a personal haul of 22 on the evening, split the sticks for a 10-3 Grizzlies advantage in the 12th minute. The travelers were judged to have handled the ball in the ruck in defense of their tryline, and sophomore scrumhalf Bock's penalty shot was straight and true; 10-6 midway through the first half. With the Angels on the front foot with a lineout throw inside ten meters of Springs' goal, the visitors managed to pilfer the throw-in and flyhalf Michael Black cleared their lines. Fletcher's third penalty of the evening after a failure to wrap infringement made the scoreline 13-6 at the 22nd minute. Plenty of action, though no more scoring, finished the first half as East were camped on their guests' threshold for an extended period. A swarming Grizzlies defense was able to deny them points. Short, smashing gains from East's pack, led by tighthead Lamin Cobb and No. 8 Meshach Ricketts, were countered by same from Springs captain Dallas Frye and lock Jacob Russell as action blistered inside that first channel. East, however, suffered a big blow just before halftime, as flyhalf Jeremy Tabor was forced to leave the field injured. Fletcher continued his outstanding form kicking, adding two penalties, while Bock responded with one to make it 19-9. East then went down a man as a payer was yellow-carded for not wrapping at tackle. Springs used their man advantage well, as Black popped into space at his own ten meter line and sped to the East 22 before offloading to fullback Luke Divich, who fended off a tackler en route to the tryline. Fletcher's deuce made it 26-9 with 54 minutes gone. Denver were pinged for coming in from the side at the breakdown on attack just outside the Grizzlies 22, and the clearance all the way to East's 22 set up the visitor lineout. A subsequent Grizzlies scrum 25 meters from goal, and a slick offload by Black to inside center John Kenney had the speedster in space and he scored. Fletcher converted again to make it 33-9. With East back to full strength, Springs kept scoring. Lock Jake Russell rumbled over to make it 40-7 with Fletcher's 4th conversion. Colorado Springs completed the evening's scoring as openside flanker Seth Halliman burst out the loose and scampered half the pitch to ground. With Fletcher perfect on the evening at 9-9 (four penalities and five conversions) Colorado Springs won 47-9 to make the climax of the Rugby Colorado boys HS league very interesting.

Congratulations. Safe shooting.
Well, I just bought an XD45. Got to take it out after work tonight and shoot 30 rounds. I think I'm going to love this gun!
Congratulations. Safe shooting.
Cool I hope you do love it!
It shoots great, just like the Service Model. I've been carrying it every day for the last 2-3 months, and it conceals easier than the Service Model, without giving up anything in accuracy or reliability. I don't need the 'old one' at all, any more, but it's just too great a shooter to get rid of. I guess I'll just save it for a grandkid.
They shoot really nice. They are 2006 Gun of the Year.


text: On the cover: Howard Borden Newcombe, Ph.D., President, American Society of Human Genetics, 1965. Howard B. Newcombe is remembered principally for his contributions to radiation genetics and as a pioneer in the use of electronic health records for research. He was born in Nova Scotia in 1914 and studied at Acadia University and the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture in Trinidad before completing his Ph.D. in 1939 at McGill University in Montreal. He carried out studies of chromatid interference in crossing over in the perennial Trillium erectum with Charles Leonard Huskins, the chair of the newly formed Department of Genetics (the first in Canada). Newcombe continued plant cytogenetics research in Surrey, England, before service in the Royal Navy during World War II. In 1946, he spent a year at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's Carnegie Institute, where he studied mutations in E. coli. Radiation-induced mutations and other effects in a variety of organisms became his primary research topic when he joined the Canadian Atomic Energy Project at Chalk River, Ontario, in 1947. He headed the Biology Branch from 1949 to 1970 and then the Population Research Branch until his retirement in 1979. In an influential single-author paper in Nature in 1949 (Nature [1949] 164, 150–151), Newcombe demonstrated the existence of spontaneous mutations to phage resistance in E. coli by using replica plating. This study provided a more visual confirmation of results that Luria and Delbrück had presented 6 years earlier in their fluctuation-analysis paper (Genetics [1943] 28, 491–511). By the late 1950s, Newcombe's interests had turned to analysis of human health records in an effort to understand population risks and trends. His paper in Science in 1959 (Science [1959] 130, 954–959) described the potential for researchers to use computers to link records on individuals or families and mine data regarding health effects of environmental exposures and genetic variation. His particular interest was linking fertility to the prior birth of children with birth defects. He characterized the birth records of British Columbia in detail and described increased fertility in mothers with a prior child affected by Down syndrome in his Galton lecture (Eugenics Rev. [1965] 57, 109–125). Newcombe served in many professional genetics societies and advisory boards. He was secretary of the Genetics Society of America from 1956 to 1958. He was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 1963 and advised several panels on radiation effects; one such panel was the World Health Organization's Expert Advisory Panel on Human Genetics. Newcombe's presidential address at the annual meeting of the ASHG in Seattle was not captured in The Journal; his Galton lecture in May of that year serves as a contemporaneous substitute for those wishing to understand his interests. He was a founder of the Genetics Society of Canada and was its president in 1965. Newcombe continued to publish into his 80s after retirement and was particularly interested in the conflict between public health and personal privacy. His final paper in The Journal estimated the genetic burden on disease from a birth cohort of more than one million consecutive births in British Columbia (Am. J. Hum. Genet. [1988] 42, 677–93). Newcombe died in 2005 at the age of 90. This image of Newcombe was drawn by Peter James Field from a photograph provided with permission by the library of Atomic Energy of Canada, Limited.

Two South American G.P's? Of course it'd be great to globalise the sport further, but I'll believe it when I see it. And will they be well supported? I've never been to South America, but they don't strike me as being as two wheeled orientated as Asia so clearly is. This smacks more of Carmelo bagging sanctioning fees and T.V rights as anything else.

Great article about Rossi's development skills: It isn't that we don't have confidence in Rossi's feedback," Ciabatti said.

Must have German Sausage! [ Thu Dec 9 2010 8:21 PM ]
The most amazing sausage they have are the Landjaeger, which are delicious flat, dried and smoked beef sausages you'll normally find for sale in the Germanic parts of the Midwest and parts of central Texas. Buy some Landjaeger from the Alpine Sausage Kitchen, get some good cold beer, and get hooked on the smoky flavor.
Breakfast last night at the Frontier. [ Wed Sep 15 2010 5:56 PM ]
A Breakfast Burrito with very spicy green chile and a Frontier roll. Really tasty, but the rest of my system didn't like the very hot chile I ladled on the burrito. Re: Burger Talk
Face it. [ Wed Jun 30 2010 8:33 AM ]
Albuquerque has been and is a car oriented city. Lowe's Downtown is a decent grocery store, but to get the variety of TJ's, Albertson's or Smith's you have to drive there. I talked to a Trader Joe's manager a few months ago, and the likelihood of TJ's Downtown is still slim, because there isn't the density of yuppies found in other areas of the city. Notice that La Montanita CoOp hasn't expanded all that much either. Let's worry more about getting everyone employed (yes, I'm looking for a job too, does someone out there need a programmer-analyst?), and less about the distance you have to drive to the grocery. If you want to have a grocery store you can walk to, maybe you should look into building one in a storefront near where you live. Last edited [6/30/10 8:40 AM]
Shopping... [ Wed Jun 23 2010 11:12 AM ]
"Just pick the stores closest to you (walking or biking distance), shop THEM, stay economically loyal to your neighborhood, and buy less. " Unrealistic. The neighborhoods where I've lived in Albuquerque (the Heights, Downtown) have rarely been good places to shop. We do live near a small convenience store that has some stuff we need, but they are more expensive, and don't sell medicine, fresh meat or vegetables, that sort of thing. So--it's off to Walgreens, Costco, Albertson's, Smith's, Lowe's, and so forth...usually in our car.
The loophole. [ Wed May 19 2010 2:41 PM ]
If a businessman hires an illegal, that businessman should also be arrested and fined. In the past, there have been too many incidents in the past of illegal farm or restaurant workers that work in a business or farm, then the owner calls the Border Patrol and the workers get kicked across the border, but the businessman doesn't pay the illegals, and gets away with it. If this little loophole has been closed by now, let me know (I hope so). Re: Salty Dodge
News for you... [ Tue Dec 5 2006 7:12 PM ]
Salt, whether sea salt or Morton's iodized is all chemicals, by definition. The extra salts in sea salt may give it a different flavor, but it's all salt. Much of the world gets its salt from salt seeps or salt mines, whose salt originally came from ancient seas. If someone thinks sea salt tastes better (I do, that's why I have some by my stove), that's well and good. But don't scare people about commercial salt, especially about salt with added sodium iodide (prevents goiters) or potassium chloride (aka "Lite Salt" that doesn't affect those with high blood pressure as much) in it. |

Terrorism is an ever-present threat in our times. Bioterrorism is of special concern because its human consequences can be so devastating, its weapons relatively easy to obtain and disseminate, and its effects often not detectable for days or even weeks. The ability of a bioterrorist attack to create massive numbers of casualties (on a scale that overshadows other forms of terrorism) makes bioterrorism today's most dangerous threat. For this reason, the U.S. Government has assigned the highest priority to developing nation-wide domestic capabilities to prepare for and respond to bioterrorism and other outbreaks of infectious diseases. A terrorist-triggered outbreak of a dangerous and highly communicable disease such as smallpox would require a concerted response by the public health emergency response system to prevent catastrophic mortality and morbidity. Because pathogens do not recognize or respect geopolitical boundaries and travelers who cross the border into Mexico from the United States (and vice versa) can spread a contagious disease rapidly, early warning surveillance and prompt sharing of findings of concern among the six Mexican and four U.S. states along the U.S.-Mexico border and beyond is a public health and national security imperative.
The Early Warning Infectious Disease Surveillance (EWIDS) program consists of two companion but separate initiatives, the first of which involves the U.S. Mexico Border Health Commission (BHC) and the second of which focuses on the enhancement of cross-border surveillance and epidemiological capacities within the 20 U.S. states sharing borders with Mexico and Canada.
Along the southern border, EWIDS funds have also been separately awarded to Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California to improve and strengthen capabilities that will complement those being developed by their Mexican counterparts so that the systems on both sides of the border will be coordinated and interoperable (in this context, the ability of different types of computers, networks, operating systems, and applications to work together effectively). EWIDS related activities undertaken by the four U.S. border states are intended to be an intrinsic element of the overall public health emergency preparedness efforts supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In a similar vein, BHC EWIDS activities to be carried out by the six Mexican border states and the Secretariat of Health (SOH) of Mexico should reflect relevant priorities on prevention and health promotion as stated in Mexico's National Health Act through the policies established by the National Council for Health Security, and in accordance with the lines of action established in the Mexican National and State Bioterrorism Health Protection Plans as well as in the National Guidelines for Health Security.
Both sets of EWIDS activities (in the United States and in Mexico) are intended to strengthen critical capacities in surveillance and epidemiology, laboratory capacity for biological agents, surveillance related communication and information technology, and surveillance/epidemiology related education and training. The common feature to both of these initiatives is (1) the emphasis on cross-border infectious disease surveillance and epidemiology and (2) the involvement of all ten state health officers and bioterrorism coordinators (or their designated representatives) of the U.S. and Mexico border states in any planned activities. This is to ensure that planning and implementation efforts by the four U.S. southern border states for the EWIDS project are harmonized with comparable efforts by neighboring jurisdictions in Mexico's six northern border states. Thus, the overall goals of both EWIDS projects is to enhance coordination among neighboring states in the U.S. and Mexico; to improve surveillance capabilities at the state, local and tribal level; to launching an epidemiological investigation promptly; to share surveillance (including laboratory) data; and to provide for appropriately trained public health personnel for these activities.

Adobe coaxing Photoshop power to iPad
Adobe Systems, with a Photoshop-like demo on an iPad yesterday, is beginning to show more of the fruits of its tablet-computing labor. And it's a good thing, too, because there's no guarantee the company's power in desktop software will extend to tablets.
It's no secret Adobe Systems is working on graphics programs for tablets--indeed, John Nack, the leader of Adobe's tablet work, has been soliciting advice about exactly what to do since last year and Adobe has demonstrated other Photoshop features on Android and iPad tablets. But the fact that the company is shedding more … Read more

Bring a CVS Pharmacy to Siouxland
CVS Pharmacy's are slowly expanding in the area, and the purpose of this petition is to show the support of bringing one or more to the siouxland area. There are now 2 in Omaha, NE and they are awesome. A little friendly competition to the Walgreen & Wal-Mart pharmacy's would be a great time and money saver for the people of Siouxland. I would much rather spend my dollars earned in Siouxland in Siouxland, but with the prices of things around here, a trip or two to Omaha including lunch and gas will still save me money. If you agree with this idea please sign this and forward it to as many people as possible.

Whistling Bird's return attracts flock of old friends
Wednesday was a day of happy coincidences on Gilbert's main street. The Whistling Bird reopened 15 years to the day since diners first sat down to platters of Jamaican jerk chicken and pork.By: Janna Goerdt, For the News Tribune
GILBERT — Wednesday was a day of happy coincidences on Gilbert's main street. The Whistling Bird reopened 15 years to the day since diners first sat down to platters of Jamaican jerk chicken and pork.
And April and Jim Monetti of Hibbing finally got to celebrate a personal milestone properly.
"We used to come here for our anniversary," April Monetti said. When the couple learned the restaurant would be serving food and drinks on Wednesday, their ninth anniversary, their celebration plans were back on. They shared nibbles of chicken as a steel drum band warmed up in the background and Bob Marley songs poured out of a loudspeaker.
New Whistling Bird owner Jessica Antonovich said the last few months of renovations and reworking the Caribbean-themed restaurant menu have been exciting. She is planning to open for regular dinner hours beginning July 10. On Wednesday, diners enjoyed jerk chicken and pork as Gilbert's annual Third of July parade wound through town.
The first customer in line was Kenny Belanger, who dropped by to enjoy a Pickled Parrot cocktail. Belanger and his wife, Louise, used to drive from Carlton to Gilbert a few times a month to have dinner at the Whistling Bird. If they had to wait for their table, they often went to the Alibi, the bar next door, to have a drink. And about two years ago, when they learned the Alibi was for sale, they decided to buy that, too.
Belanger said he welcomes the return of the Whistling Bird and the added business he expects it to draw to the area.
"I'm really glad," Belanger said. "It will only benefit Gilbert and the surrounding bars."
The Whistling Bird closed in November 2009. Antonovich has brought back several of the kitchen staff, including executive chef Patrick Berg. He said there has been significant buzz about the restaurant's rebirth.
"Expectations are really high," Berg said. "We want the restaurant to have the same energy as before."
Some of the most popular menu items will be back, Berg said, as well as some new offerings he expects will be popular. Berg said they will be adding seared Ahi tuna, conch fritters and sugar cane-skewered shrimp to the list, as well as nightly dinner specials.
But customers can also count on their traditional favorites, like the jerk chicken and pork that was hot off the Whistling Bird's outdoor grills on Wednesday. Chef Eric Schneider, who worked for about six years at the original Whistling Bird, seemed happy have a pair of tongs in his hand on opening day.
"This is where I need to be," Schneider said as he dabbed jerk sauce on the sizzling chicken. "Me and Patrick are back home."
"Absolutely," Berg said as he bustled by.

text: The dressed feathers I tied do have flashbou mylar twines in them too. Just no flash on camera so they don't really pick up on the photo. I too use the highly contrast feather trailer on some other lures as well. I've found out that the matching camouflaged appearance has a time and place that brings success over the contrasting feather trailer. Low light angle and cloudy scenarios seems to have been more successful from my testing time with these lures vs the contrasting tail type. They're not meant to compete against the contrasting trailers, but more like to complete the set.****Added to 'Tying Trebles' thread

The Pirate one-game winning streak is but a distant memory tonight, as Colorado brought them back to reality with a 8-0 drubbing at Coors Field.
Ubaldo Jimenez won his tenth game, putting more Pirates on base by himself than the Pirates did on their own. He walked four and hit one; the Bucs could only bang three singles off him.
Jimenez touched 99 MPH on his heater, regularly hitting 96-97, and had a nasty split. The Pirates didn't hit a ball squarely all night as he overpowered the young lineup.
They had one shot at making it a game in the fifth, behind 3-0 at that point and loading the bases with two outs. But Andrew McCutchen softly rolled out to short on the first pitch, and that was the game.
Kevin Hart showed a good fastball, and his curve had some bite. But his slider wasn't sharp, and the second batter, Carlos Gonzalez, took one knee high and on the outside part of plate and lined it over the left field fence, giving the Rox a lead they'd never relinquish.
Jeff Karstens had another rough outing, giving up three runs in two innings of work. And Lastings Milledge showed that he still has a way to go before he's a finished product in the outfield.
He played a couple of angles poorly in Coors spacious pasture, turning one-base hits into extra-base knocks, and his slow release in getting a ball back into the infield allowed a Rockie to turn a single into a hustle double.
In that way, he represents the whole team; a work in progress. And it will continue. There's sure to be a couple of changes next year, and surely wholesale movement further down the road.
So settle in. It's gonna be more of the same for another season or two.

Nook does NOT work on Playbook, its because of the handlers they used for the app not being Java, which is essential to running on the PB

One more reason to buy my ebooks from Kindle. I hate Amazon, but many of the books in my profession are only released on Kindle and Nook formats.
The Kindle bar sideloads nicely.
I have the latest Nook version running on my Dev Alpha, you guys are welcome to try on your PlayBooks. I've uploaded it here: http://apk2bar.unker.net/bar/c3/81/5..._v184.108.40.206.bar
I just sideloaded the Nook app from goodreader via the Chrome extension method. App works fine so far. I can access my library and just ordered a new book. Haven't begun reading via app as yet so can't say about other functions.
i have the only known working version of nook for playbook on my site right now, its quite buggy but mostly works.

Hi BB Addicts, me included.... I recently had a need to fire up my wife's Playbook I got her 2 years ago for BD. She's a 25 yr plus RN, and needs to study over one thousand subject questions in prep for recertification. Currently the hospital she's at is using Mosby's and was only after 12 hour days, having to stay in their IP control for login and practice study in prep. So I decided to see if I could ease the demand and profide her some relief by getting her PlayBook using 18.104.22.1686 os. After two days of battle search to find the tightly controled program, I found Barnes & Noble and Kobo Books to have some of the Mosby's exams. Problem, PB does not directly have a Nook App, Android does, so I went to Goodreader where they work hard to have Android to BAR files and Apps, and great video tutorials on all this for us Do-It-Yourselfers.
Now I know I wrote out a lot, but I have reason, prior to this for about a week, and about a month ago, I spent at least 5 straight days, say on average 8-10 hours each day trying to both us Apps that Goodreader has as well as using DDPB and Goodle Chrome Extension, to get my Z10 to operate an App that did what DriveSafe.ly had done in the past for us BB users with OS7 and down. With No exaggeration I must have converterd, downloaded Android bar apps for the Z10. Not One, Not One, would do what they were designed to do on an Android Phone.
Now I say all this and a bit more cautious this time, pulled out the Playbook put in about 4 hours trying to do the same thing, except for just One App. Nook to Bar provided by Goodreader. Followed their recommendation to not use DDPB, used Chrome Extension. All loaded just fine, the Nook App opened in th Playbook, I was getting excited that maybe just maybe I have One App to Bar that will work. Just one.
Nope, go to get a book or whatever, I get, "stopped unexpectedly (process bn.reader), please try again. Force Close". So I have given up on Any Android App to Bar that will work, for me.. Is there something I do not understand, as these converted Apps, will sideload fine, most of the programs I did on the Z10, open.. But that is it, some lock up the device, or give me an error message.
So after now having about 70 hours of downloading, uploading, converting, sideloading, opening and failure with every one of more than fifty apps of the same category. Good news is that I can do the sideload blindfolded in my sleep.
Can anyone tell me what possibly I'm doing wrong, or more so, what I'm not doing or leaving out, for all thes attempts for not one App to Properly Work?
After the prior post on this, I see that I'm not alone about the PB and Nook? PKcable said he got Kindle to work, so I will try this. I did go out and just bought a Nook reader $79 at Wally's and they have Kindle normally $79 on clearance for $30. It's just so sad that BB could not get the edge on these different formats of ebook files and have PB read whatever crossover capable. I think we would have seen everyone with PB, instead of having iP, and Kindle's and Nook's etc. Reason I say that using me as example. I could only find Mosby's at Barnes&Noble mostly in Ebook form, PB can't read it. Kobo, has very limited, and when I downloaded one of the ebookd, PB struggled with it and some of the ebooks parts, pages and info is missing or not complete.
So if anyone can shed some light on my dilemma about this App failures, with both the Z and the PB, I would greatly appreciate it.
