Breakthrough dna study links B.C. woman, 5,500-year-old remains
Randy Boswell, Postmedia NewsPublished: Saturday, July 06, 2013
A groundbreaking genetic study led by a team of U.S. and Canadian anthropologists has traced a direct DNA link between the 5,500-yearold remains of an aboriginal woman found on a B.C. island, a second set of ancient female bones from a nearby 2,500-year-old site and - most stunningly - a living Tsimshian woman from the Metlakatla First Nation, located close to both of the prehistoric burials along the North Coast near Prince Rupert.
The findings are the first of their kind to be generated using powerful new techniques to analyze the complete mitochondrial genome of the individuals studied, reconstructing a millennia-spanning line of maternal descent and providing remarkable new evidence of a people's enduring occupation of a specific geographical area.
The scientific achievement is also seen to have significant implications for First Nations' land claims and treaty rights, giving aboriginal groups a powerful new tool for demonstrating deep-rooted links between the present and hyper-distant past.
"Having a DNA link showing direct maternal ancestry dating back at least 5,000 years is huge as far as helping the Metlakatla prove that this territory was theirs over the millennia," said First Nations archeologist Barbara Petzelt, a co-author of the study who also served as the chief liaison between scientists - including one of this country's top physical anthropologists, Jerome Cybulski of the Canadian Museum of Civilization - and the Metlakatla community.
"I believe this is really a unique collaboration," added Joycelynn Mitchell, a Metlakatla treaty official and researcher, and also a co-author of the study. "It's very exciting to be able to have scientific proof that corroborates what our ancestors have been telling us for generations. It's very amazing how fast technology is moving to be able to prove this kind of link with our past."
The study, published this week in the U.S.-based Public Library of Science journal PLOS ONE, also identified what appears to be an "extinct" genetic line represented by two other sets of remains from Alaska and B.C. that date from 10,300 and 6,000 years ago respectively. No living person is known to share the DNA signature that was found in both of those individuals.
In a third set of findings, three current, unidentified residents of West Coast aboriginal communities were all found to share an ancestral connection with an ancient individual whose 5,000-year-old remains were unearthed from Dodge Island, near Prince Rupert.
"This is the beginning of the golden era for ancient DNA research because we can do so much now that we couldn't do a few years ago because of advances in sequencing technologies," study co-leader Ripan Malhi, an anthropologist and professor of genomic biology at the University of Illinois, said in a research summary. "We're just starting to get an idea of the mitogenomic diversity in the Americas, in the living individuals as well as the ancient individuals."
Malhi told Postmedia News it was "pretty surprising" when the research team established a clear genetic link between the 5,500-year-old female - whose remains had been excavated from an ancient settlement site on Lucy Island - and the 2,500-year-old individual (also from Dodge Island).

Most pediatric dentists will agree that regular dental care should begin by age 1 year, with a dental check-up at least twice each consecutive year for most children. Some children may need more frequent evaluations and care. In accordance with this recommendation, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) has provided the following dental checklist for infants and toddlers:
Consult your child's pediatrician regarding fluoride supplements.
Regulate feeding habits (bottle-feeding and breastfeeding).
During this time, the first tooth should appear. Consult a pediatric dentist for an examination.
Brush teeth after each feeding and at bedtime with a small, soft-bristled brush.
As the child begins to walk, stay alert for potential dental and/or facial injuries.
Follow the schedule of dental examinations and cleanings, as recommended by your child's pediatric dentist. Generally, dental examinations and cleanings are recommended every 6 months for children and adults.
As your child learns to rinse his or her mouth, and as most primary (baby) teeth have erupted by this age, brushing with a pea-sized portion of fluoridated toothpaste becomes appropriate, in most cases. However, it is advised to consult your child's pediatric dentist regarding the appropriate time for your toddler to begin using toothpaste.
Proper care of a child's deciduous teeth (also known as "baby" or primary teeth) is very important, as these teeth hold space for the future eruption of permanent teeth.
If a baby tooth decays or is removed too early, the space necessary for the permanent teeth is lost and can only be regained through orthodontic treatment.
Infected baby teeth can cause the permanent teeth to develop improperly resulting in stains, pits, and weaker teeth.
Primary teeth are important in speech development.
Primary teeth aid in chewing food properly, promoting healthy nutrition.
Most children begin losing their baby teeth around the ages of 5 or 6, with usually the front teeth first. They continue to lose baby teeth until the age of 12 or 13 when all of the permanent teeth finally come through, except for the third molars (wisdom teeth). These molars begin to appear around the ages of 17 to 21.
The AAPD recommends the following to ensure your child eats correctly to maintain a healthy body and teeth:
Ask your child's pediatric dentist to help you assess your child's diet.
Shop smart. Do not routinely stock your pantry with sugary or starchy snacks.
Buy "fun foods" just for special times.
Limit the number of snacks and choose nutritious snacks.
Provide a balanced diet and save foods with sugar or starch for mealtimes.
Do not put your young child to bed with a bottle of milk, formula, or juice.
If your child chews gum or sips soda, choose those without sugar.

Barrio is only one of many new restaurants and bars drawing people to formerly forbidding neighborhoods on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Open 24 hours a day and serving a progressive American menu, it draws a clientele combining locals with the hip young crowd perpetually in pursuit of the next big thing. Interestingly, Barrio's LDs have applied a kind of Off Broadway aesthetic to this downtown dining venue (which was once the House of Candles performance space).
LDs Frank DenDanto III and Charles Cameron are principals in the Luce Group, a new firm, with a third partner, Tracy Klainer. In designing the lighting for Barrio, DenDanto and Cameron worked closely with the interior's brick, metal, and glass concept; the result is a space that sustains a glamorous 3am look at all times.
The LDs created this look through the skillful application of indirect lighting built into the interior's architecture. Plexiglas light boxes placed behind the bar (in orange) and on the wall that divides the kitchen and dining area (in white) create large pools of softly diffused illumination. The under bar is illuminated in white and steel-blue neon. Above, two skylights are lined in orange neon (orange is the main color in DenDanto and Cameron's design scheme). These elements work together to create a soft, nighttime feeling that works well with the space's industrial quality. In addition, the restaurant's glass facade features strips of blue neon.
Upstairs is a private lounge area, reached by a stairway illuminated with fiber optics. While the downstairs decor is in Southwestern style, upstairs the tone is Asian, thanks to some Thai furniture supplied by the restaurant's owner. To blend with this concept, the LDs had wall sconces constructed to match the furniture; these are lit with 70W metal-halides housed in etched tin shades. Hanging from the ceiling are batik-dyed cloth-covered pendants. A hand-carved bar, which appears to be supported by two elephants, is uplit at both ends by two floor-mounted MR-16s, with amber dichroic filters.
Both of the restaurant's bathrooms feature distinctive looks as well. Upstairs, an Islamic screen placed over flame-shaped A-lamps creates an evocative pattern of light. Downstairs, the men's room is lit only by a warm-colored fluorescent unit placed in a fish tank. Excessively shy patrons needn't worry, however; the tank is populated only by toy fish.
It's a deliberately eclectic approach, but then DenDanto and Cameron make an eclectic pair. DenDanto is resident LD at P.S. 122, a downtown performance space. Cameron is an associate at the architectural firm Focus Lighting. (Klainer is a theatre LD, who works as an associate on Broadway shows.) The goal, says DenDanto, is to "bring tools from one discipline to another." Their work method? "Everybody does everything."
Barrio, which opened early in 2000, has attracted the favorable attention of the city's often contentious food writers. Says DenDanto, "The owner has two other restaurants, in storefronts. Here, he wanted a more elegant, refined space." Thanks to the efforts of Luce, that's just what he has.

CATEGORIES Drama, Romance, Deals, RumorMonger, Fandom, DIY/Filmmaking, Tom Cruise, Movies, CinematicalHonestly, by now, I think we've all lost that lovin' feeling.
It wouldn't surprise me in the least to hear that folks were mulling a sequel to the 1986 romantic fighter jet flick. Not only are sequels to older films hot these days (see: Indiana Jones 4, Rocky 6, Die Hard 4), but Tom Cruise could provide a real boost to his rep if he were to revisit the character that kinda made him. Whether or not it would actually turn out to be a good movie is a whole different conversation. First off, according to those extremely reliable cats at The Sun, a script outline for Top Gun 2 is done and "movie bosses" want Cruise to star.
Apparently a source said this about the plot: "The idea is Maverick is at the Top Gun school as an instructor - and this time it is he who has to deal with a cocky new female pilot." Ooohh, original ... and spicy! It's like Karate Kid 4 meets A Really Big Paycheck for Tom Cruise! And yet ... we'd all still see it. Why are we such suckers? We currently have no idea how real this rumor is, so for the time being I wouldn't exactly break out into song and dance. Maybe it'll happen, maybe it won't.
What say you? Could this be the sequel we've subconsciously been waiting for our entire lives?

How to Create Cobie Smulders's All-Over Rosy Glow
February 6, 2014 at 8:00 am , by Tiffany McHugh
Cobie Smulders stunned at The LEGO Movie Premiere in Los Angeles last weekend with an all-over rosy glow and piece-y short hair. Since she plays one of the most down-to-earth chicks on television (her How I Met Your Mother character prefers Scotch to champagne and Netflix to date night), we're not surprised by Cobie's ability to infuse a subtle edginess to her natural girl-next-door vibe.
Here's how to get her look:
Start by smoothing on a lightweight foundation or tinted moisturizer, followed by concealer to brighten up dark under-eye circles and hide blemishes. Lightly dust a neutral matte eyeshadow (try this one by NYX Cosmetics) from your lash line up to your brow bone or leave your lids completely bare. Next, swipe one coat of clear or brown mascara over your lashes for subtle definition. To get the same all-over rosiness that you see on Cobie, you'll want to pick up a stain that can be used on your lips and your cheeks (we recommend this one by Stila in Cherry Crush). To flush your cheeks, dab three pea-sized dots where you would apply a powder blush, starting at your apples and continuing upward toward your temples, blending gently with your fingers. Next, apply the stain evenly across your pout. If you prefer to use two different stains, try Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Courture Vernis a Levres Glossy Stain in Rose Vinyl for your lips. To up your glow-factor, dust an illuminating powder down the bridge of your nose and over the stain on your now-rosy cheeks.

About Performance Appraisal Training
It is expected that Merit and P&S employees receive a formal review of their performance annually. There is annual training offered, along with several documents to assist employees and supervisors in this process. The actual review is a dedicated opportunity to comment on an employee's performance; however, it should be a continual process. The training offered will help supervisors see the benefits of offering feedback and conducting performance appraisals. They will also develop ways to reduce the negativity often associated with the appraisal process. Expanding the understanding of the goal setting process, documenting performance using a critical incident form, and also focus on preparing, conducting and following-up to a performance appraisal are all covered topics.

Update 8:48 a.m. 11/10 -
The cyclist has been identified as 68-year-old Robert McKenny, of Skokie, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office. He was pronounced dead just hours after the accident, the Medical Examiner's Office said.
Earlier 8:40 p.m. 11/9 -
Police are saying a cyclist was hit by a Volkswagen sedan near Main Street and Skokie Boulevard on Thursday around 7 p.m.
The bicyclist, who was said to be in his "30's or 40's," is in critical condition, according to police. He was transported to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston shortly after the accident.
The vehicle that struck the cyclist was heading southbound on Skokie Boulevard, and, according to police, the driver did not sustain any injuries. At this time, it is unclear if the driver was intoxicated.
The Volkswagen sedan could be seen wrapped around a pole along a sidewalk on Skokie Boulevard, with the bicycle itself about two feet away from the vehicle.
Officers closed off an entire block while they investigated the accident and more than four squad cars were present. At about 8:15 p.m., police said the North Regional Major Crimes Task Force, or NORTAF, were en route to investigate the accident. NORTAF is typically called when serious or fatal accidents occur in the Chicagoland area.

Bicycle Regulations
Below are regulations that apply to bicyclists commuting to the University of Washington.
Bicyclists are held to the same standards as drivers of other moving vehicles.
With more people riding bicycles, following the rules of the road is especially important. A bicycle is a legal road vehicle, just like a car. This means that bicycle riders have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers, even though bicycles are lighter than cars and generally slower. Bicyclists can be issued citations for the following infractions, among others:
- Failure to use lights and reflectors: a white front light must be visible to the front 500 feet away; a red reflector must be visible to the rear 100 feet away; a red light to the rear is optional but highly recommended.
- Failure to stop at a stop sign
- Failure to yield to a pedestrian
- Failure to wear a helmet
- Passing in a No Passing Zone
- Bicyclists suddenly entering roadway
- Unsafe/negligent action
- Speeding
- Defective/missing equipment
- Seats, brakes, and reflectors are mandatory
Campus Specific Guidelines:
- Speeding. The speed limit on campus roadways is 20 mph, and 15 mph on Columbia Road behind the UW Medical Center and Health Sciences. Any negligent riding is subject to citation.
- Right of way. The law requires cyclists to yield to a pedestrian giving audible warning of their presence. Look for posted stop signs, yield signs and pedestrian signs. Speed limits must be obeyed. Typically, bicyclists should keep to the right and pass on the left.
- Sidewalks. Bicycles may be ridden on sidewalks, except where posted: for example, the sidewalk on the west side of Stevens Way between the HUB bus zone and the Communications Building. But remember to ride where you are predictable. Pedestrians are not expecting you on the sidewalk and may overlook you as they approach a driveway or crosswalk.
- Slow Zone. Obey the "bicycle slow zone" sign at the approach to Drumheller Fountain between Johnson Hall and Mary Gates Hall.
Other Bicycle Laws:

Faith in Marriage
Security in Faith
When Liz Hammer began dating her husband, Brian, at 21, in some ways it was an improbable pairing. Liz was bubbly and outgoing, Brian quiet and reserved. At a party she was apt to work the room while he sat off to the side, deep in a one-on-one conversation. In one major way, though, they were very much alike. Both had been raised in religious homes where belief in God was the bedrock of their lives. Both had gone to a Christian college, where they'd met. Both had known that they would marry someone equally devout. "My relationship with Christ was so much a part of who I was, there was no way I could be married and not share it," says Liz, now 43. Eighteen years of marriage and four children later, faith remains the foundation of the bond between Brian, a litigation consultant, and Liz, a stay-at-home mother in Santa Monica, California. It is, she says, "the springboard from which we make all our choices and decisions."
Faith -- belief in the judgment and authority of a higher power -- can have a powerful positive influence on the marital bond, research has shown. David Popenoe, PhD, professor of sociology at Rutgers University, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and codirector of the National Marriage Project, sees being "answerable to a higher authority" as "vital" for a strong marriage. In part, faith has this power because belief in God often also means a belief that marriage itself is sacred. The conviction that, as Liz Hammer puts it, "this is a commitment we made before God, so divorce isn't an option" can give couples both emotional security and an incentive to keep their relationship strong.
"There's never the anxiety that we'll have a deal-breaking argument," says Hammer.
"And if we're frustrated, we know that we have to work it out."
The idea that religious conviction helps a couple navigate rough spots is echoed by others. "There are times when I lose patience with my husband and feel free to be short with him," says Beverly, a 37-year-old mother of three in New York City and an Orthodox Jew. "But on Yom Kippur [the Jewish Day of Atonement], I ask his forgiveness for those times. Having to say 'I'm sorry' -- and to admit that I haven't been as good a wife as I'd like to be -- requires me to swallow my ego. These moments force us to have a very different kind of conversation than we would have if we were just going out to dinner."
In addition, faith helps hold couples together by encouraging selflessness and stressing the need to give as much as one takes. "We know that for love to last, it must evolve from romantic love, which is the basis for many marriages, into something more mature and less selfish," says Gary L. Hansen, PhD, professor of sociology at the University of Kentucky, in Lexington. "Faith may help couples make that transition." The result: unions that not only are enduring but satisfying. One survey of 161 men and women published in 2003 in the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion found that inner religious commitment coupled with church attendance was associated with a reduced tendency to engage in extramarital affairs, or "mate poaching."

Work under way to draft new regulations at the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) in Dubai this week could harm the Internet, warned Internet pioneer and Google executive Vint Cerf.
"The Internet is under threat" from proposals at the WCIT, Cerf said at the Usenix LISA (Large Installation System Administration) conference in San Diego on Wednesday.
[ Keep up on the day's tech news headlines with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: Wrap Up newsletter. ]
The Internet is not controlled by any one nation and the best way to deal with issues that arise continues to be through informal agreements among interested parties, he argued. The purpose of the WCIT is to update the agreements guiding the United Nations' International Telecommunications Union (ITU). In keeping these regulations up-to-date, though, it may attempt to extend the reach of ITU over the Internet.
"The natural reaction of any institution that wants to preserve its existence is to reach out for new territory," Cerf said of the ITU.
His comments may have been prescient, coming just hours before a controversy broke out at the conference, with the Internet Society suggesting that new regulations on the Internet may have been added improperly to the regulations.
The WCIT is updating the International Telecommunication Regulations (ITRs), which currently focus mainly on international billing and inter-system connectivity standards. Much of the new work around the Internet, which barely existed when the ITR was last updated in 1988, is hotly politicized. According to a number of reports, Russia was planning to submit a proposal at WCIT that would allow multinational control over the Internet. The U.S. representative for WCIT had threatened to walk out of the meeting as a result.
The Russian proposal was shelved, though other countries have lobbied for wresting control of domain name management from the U.S.-backed Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and for allowing deep packet inspection of Internet traffic.
"No one is in charge" of the Internet, Cerf reminded the audience. And this lack of control seems to perplex government officials, he said. He recounted how, in 2003, he explained to government diplomats at the Internet Governance Forum how the Internet was managed. "They absolutely refused to believe it was possible to have a distributed system of this scale and magnitude that wasn't centrally controlled," he said.
Funded by the U.S. Department of Commerce, ICANN does manage the names and addresses for the Internet, though it does not have any control over the Internet itself, Cerf said. "While there are probably some legislators in the U.S. who would like to believe [the U.S. controls the Internet], in fact it is a highly distributed, very collaborative environment," Cerf said.
Cerf, along with Robert Kahn, developed the TCP/IP stack that provided a way for different networks to communicate with one another, which in turned created the Internet. Cerf now works at Google as its chief Internet evangelist. He has also served as the chairman of ICANN.

Update: Logitech LX8 in Ubuntu
I first wrote about the Logitech LX8 back in August, 2008. The one feature that had eluded me was the side scrolling with the tilt wheel. Through some information I found on fellow blogger Ken Zutter's site, I now have my LX8 working in Ubuntu including the side scrolling feature. The key was to go back to the evdev driver. Once I made the driver change the side scrolling worked, except in the wrong direction. Left went right and vice versa. No changes in button mapping in the xorg.conf file made a difference, so I resolved to make the mapping changes with Xmodmap. Below are the changes I made to get everything working the way that I want it. Read more
Create a Button to Restart USB in Ubuntu
I've been using my HP w2207 flat panel monitor for some time now. My only frustration has been that I haven't been able to get the USB ports on the side to work unless I have a device plugged in when the computer boots. I think this is more the fault of Ubuntu than it is the monitor. Ubuntu just doesn't seem to care about a USB hub unless there is a device plugged into it. After a little searching on the web I found that a fellow blogger had posted a solution on Hack 2 Live. Read more
Create an Ubuntu Live USB Drive
Filed under: HowTo, linux, Ubuntu
There are several places on the net that show you the long, manual procedure required to create a Live USB Linux drive. With so many netbooks coming out without CD drives, the folks at Ubuntu saw the need for an easy way to create a bootable Live USB drive so you can install Ubuntu on that new netbook. I'm going to show how to do this with Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) since that's the long term support version. Read more
Install Fedora Cursor Theme in Ubuntu
This post is part of the process to Install the Fedora 10 Theme in Ubuntu.
I've recently been kicking the tires on Fedora 10. I've never been much of a fan of Ubuntu's default Human theme, but I though Fedora 10 looked great right from boot up of the Live CD. Fedora has a cool cursor theme where a little blue dot circles around your pointer when the computer is busy. Not happy to leave well enough alone, I went on a quest to add this cursor theme to my Ubuntu 8.04 installation. Although I haven't tested it, this should work on any other version of Ubuntu as well as most other Linux distros. Read more

Doctors report evidence of "anniversary reaction"
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A woman whose defibrillator activated one week to the hour after her father died, and recorded the event, may provide the first documented evidence of "anniversary reaction," doctors reported.
The defibrillator acted as a pacemaker, perhaps saving the 50-year-old woman's life. Its function of keeping a precise record of when it was activated made it possible to establish the precise time of the event, the doctors reported.
In a dramatic extra twist to the story, the patient was standing by the open grave of her sister-in-law, who had herself died when she heard the news of the father's death.
Dr. Michael Sweeney of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston and Dr. Michael Quill of the University of Rochester School of Medicine in New York reported on the occurrence in the journal HeartRhythm.
"We have all, almost to the point of being urban legend, heard stories of people literally dropping dead upon receipt of tragic news ... or a widower dying on the anniversary of his deceased spouse's (death)," Sweeney said in a telephone interview.
No one could really prove it, but the case of the woman, who had had the defibrillator implanted after an earlier heart attack, may provide good evidence, he said.
Sweeney said he learned of the story when the woman came into his office for a routine checkup. He noticed that the defibrillator -- a device that sits quietly in a patient's body until an abnormal heart rhythm activates it -- had provided a mild shock to her heart five months after it was implanted.
"My patient ... had an event which, had she not had a defibrillator, she would have fallen into the grave," Sweeney said.
She was also not aware that the defibrillator had fired, as it gave her heart just a gentle pulse and not an overwhelming shock. Because it fired at almost the precise hour of her father's death, but one week later, Sweeney and Quill believe it was this shock, and not the funeral of the sister-in-law, that precipitated the abnormal heart rhythm.
"The concept of anniversary reaction is that it is a response to the unconscious sense of time. Just because you aren't thinking that it is exactly seven days later ... a part of your mind ... is thinking that," Sweeney said.
The event also suggests a possible biological cause for "anniversary reaction" -- a change in the heart's beating pattern, Sweeney said.

So i went out to Mobara to catch MSC at Mobara yesterday. Here is a small teaser of some of the action that was going on.
First thing i did was walk the pits, this Rendezvous S13 was pretty sick, it had some crazy aero and was pretty clean all around
Then i moved to the track where something was always going on. This red 180 was putting down some clean runs
MSC also has their famous triple class here is team Illusion showing how it`s done with their big 90s and JXZ100
If you watch various street drifting videos from the Kanagawa area you may have seen this car before...
And of course you have tandem, here are two pretty famous cars waiting to go out, the Run Free AE86 and Magician S14
I have got a ton of pics that i need to get organized so you can look forward to some pretty good stuff in the next few days

Hay Rakes for Cubs ???

Re: Hay Rakes for Cubs ???
I have an IH #14 sidedelivery rake that I use each hay season. I am certain that any of my CUBs that are in good mechanical order could pull it, however, I have been concerned about the tongue weight on the drawbar. Especially going over rough ground. I have been looking for one wtith the front support wheel. That would be ideal for a CUB in my opinion. Mr Becker is correct in that the newer sidedelivery rakes were designed to disturb the hay a minimal amount. Baisically it just rolls it over 180 degrees and sideways in the process. This will reduce the loss of leaves especially in forages such as the lespedezas and alfalfa.
Re: Hay Rakes for Cubs ???
I use the cub to rake hay as it fits perfect between the wndrows and turns sharper than a bigger tractor
Re: Hay Rakes for Cubs ???
The IH McCormick #15 Side Delivery Rake was advertised with the Cubs in some of the old sales literature. It was replaced by the #14 then later the #35, if I recall correctly. I sold my #15 when I bought a CaseIH 860 last summer. New Holland and New Idea both make good rakes, buy they usually bring a higher price than the IH rakes. A lot of the CaseIH 86's and 860's have the dolly wheel, which makes them easy hook up and should help with bottoming out on unlevel ground. Tongue weight was around 100lbs on the #15, haven't had to lift the 860 by hand yet.

Re: Hay Rakes for Cubs ???
I have hopes of building a "bull rake" or "sweep rake" for the front of my cub, utilizing the hydraulic lift. I have a stationary baler, and after raking hay into windrows w/ my side delivery rake, a sweep rake would be ideal to get it to the baler. Anyone ever seen one for a cub? I'm otherwise working from a blank slate....
I've never met a tractor I didn't like....but I have found some that were greatly annoying....
Re: Hay Rakes for Cubs ???
Buck Rake. We use to call them buck rakes. There are several modern versions on You-tube.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Hay Rakes for Cubs ???
I see several people in our areas using a side delivery rake with the dolly wheel or what we call trucks in front. From there they have different lengths of pipe to hook up to the draw bar making the rake farther back for sharper turning here in the mountain state. Here in our rough area I wouldn't hook a side delivery rake directly to the draw bar on a cub.

Re: Hay Rakes for Cubs ???
Here in Mississippi we have mostly flatish grounds. We do have rolling hills but nothing like mountains, and in delta area its all flatter than salt flats
but I'd still like the dolly/truck idea to reduce load on drawbar... on a side note ... If I'm putting hay up in barn thats not bailed (loose) does it need to be as dry as if you were going to bail it??? My thinking is that its not as tightly compacted to cause spontaneous combustion...

Re: Hay Rakes for Cubs ???
Yes. By all means the hay must be dry. It may not be as compact going in but the weight of the hay will pack it as tight as if it were baled. There was/is a device called a hay saw that was used to cut just such compacted hay for easier removal from the mow. I can not really remember loose hay but do remember my "job" was riding the horse pulling the rope to the hay fork. Of course the horse knew what to do anyway. Vern
Edit: EBAY has a dozen or so of these saws listed.

SgtBull/Kelly. Good video on buck raking hay. Drop the blade off your front mounted "Leveling and Grading blade". Shouldn't be to hard to make a Cub sized buck rake.

25. J.R. Smith! J.R. Smith! J.R. Smith!
J.R. Smith!
(Via NBA Off-Season. Suggested by Trey Kerby from The Basketball Jones)
This is how you say, "Hello, my name is J.R. Smith," not only non-verbally, but in four different fonts.
24. Anderson Silva knocks out Not George St-Pierre
I enjoy watching mixed-martial arts, but as one of the many who grew up exclusively watching and playing stick-and-ball sports, it's difficult to reconcile my expectations of a sport with what MMA actually is. Everyone has been clamoring for Anderson Silva to fight Georges St-Pierre for ages. But a match-up between the world's two best pound-for-pound fighters just hasn't happened yet, so instead, we've watched Silva put together a winning streak that's five years old at this point.
What's the problem? Just fight already, you jerks! Everyone must be lazy or indifferent. Like, Dana White hasn't made the fight official yet because he's in his back yard throwing crab apples at squirrels. Georges St-Pierre is lying face-up on his living room floor, throwing a remote control or Lego whatever was in arm's reach in the air, trying to throw it as high as he can without actually touching the ceiling.
Meanwhile, Silva bides his time in the Octagon. Every few months, some guy is shoved in there, and Silva spends a couple of minutes screwing around before, in this case, delivering a foot to the face and ending the fight.
Baseball teams play 162 games a year, you know. Y'all lazy as hell.
23. What a unique and interesting couple
When I was a kid, my Sunday school teacher explained that in both Heaven and Hell, everyone sits at a dinner table with an enormous feast sitting on it. And in both Heaven and Hell, instead of arms, everyone has a giant spoon for a left hand and a giant fork for a right hand. There are no elbows, so you can't feed yourself. She said the difference was that in Heaven, everyone fed each other, but in Hell, everyone went hungry.
That is probably the weirdest, worst story I have ever heard in my life. Related: here is Cameron Diaz shoving popcorn or something into Alex Rodriguez's face.
(Click image to view. Via Mocksession)
As the two least offensive/interesting people in the entire world, Alex Rodriguez and Cameron Diaz don't really deserve to get pilloried for this, but I think this moment has potential to spark a meaningful national conversation about the lame trope of shoving food into your significant other's mouth.
While I do think that it looks super-stupid when done in public, I'll refrain from judgment on that end. Do what sets your heart free, et cetera, et cetera. I'm only saying that it's extremely awkward and inefficient, and eventually you find yourself eating for reasons other than hunger, which is generally ill-advised.

---- — A "positive discussion."
That's what the head of the state Senate Democratic caucus is asking for in regard to a proposal he backs to drop the mandatory school age in Indiana from age 7 to age 5 and to provide millions of dollars to provide pre-kindergarten education in every school district in the state.
The debate on education reform in Indiana has drifted into a political wasteland. Scandals have side-tracked the real issue at hand: how to best educate the leaders of tomorrow.
So, we'll take this space to focus on Senate Minority Leader Tim Lanane's proposal.
It will cost us more now. Such a program would carry a price tag of an estimated $200 million annually.
No one denies that's a lot of money, not even Lanane. But, he argues, it will pay off big later.
By providing high-quality pre-K programs and getting children into them sooner, Lanane says, students will more likely need less remediation. They'll more likely graduate from high school and own a house (read pay more income, sales and property taxes). They'll also be less likely to commit a crime (read less tax money to house more inmates).
And from what we're reading, we think he's onto something.
An initiative of the Urban Child Institute seems to prove him right. Using information from a variety of studies since 2000, the Institute says research clearly points to the value of high-quality pre-kindergarten education.
Here's why:
• Those with a pre-K education are about half as likely, compared to those without pre-K, to be arrested for a misdemeanor or a felony by the age of 27.
• Of those with a pre-K education, about 76 percent are employed at the age of 40; compared to 62 percent of those without pre-K.
• Of those with a pre-K education, about 41 percent will never accept welfare, compared to about 20 percent of those without pre-K.
• Of those with a pre-K education, about 15 percent will need special education, compared to about 34 percent of those without pre-K.
So, is lowering the starting age for students the answer to all our education woes? We don't know. We think there's great merit in the idea, and we know it's a question worth exploring.
We don't claim to know to have all the right answers when it comes to educating our children or how to pay the bills for it. But, for goodness sake, let's all come to the table and talk about it like grown-ups. We want to see legislators lay the political battles aside and have the "good, old-fashioned legislative debate" Lanane is calling for.
Some things are more important than which side of the aisle you sit on. Educating our state's children is one of them.

(Updated May 2)
Stevens and Spokane County water rescue crews have found the body of the 48-year-old who drowned Saturday morning in Waitts Lake while fishing.
According to witnesses, Frederick Barker apparently lost the grip on his fishing pole while trying to reel in a catch. Barker, who was not wearing a life jacket, jumped into the water to retrieve the pole but apparently was quickly overcome the water's frigid temperatures.
Other people in his boat, including his wife, threw him life jackets but he was unable to retrieve one of them before going under.

Buzz: Winnipeg and Columbus Could Switch Conferences For This Season
Told the report the Jets and columbus would flip conferences for this year if a season is saved is not true. #nhlsource—
Daren Millard (@darenmillard) December 28, 2012
According to Larry Brooks, there is talk that Columbus and Winnipeg may swap conferences this season.
This wouldn't neccesarily be a permanent move as realignment is expected to occur for 2013-14.
The schedule for a 48 game season would only involve conference play which would mean that Rick Nash would return to Columbus this season

Following are a few of the whispers we've heard around the NFC South lately:
• The Panthers are playing rookie WRs Brandon LaFell and David Gettis ahead of fourth-year veteran Dwayne Jarrett, and some league observers are wondering why the team keeps Jarrett on the roster. It's unlikely that any club is going to show interest in dealing for him before the trade deadline, so he's not going anywhere unless the Panthers cut him.
• An observer in Charlotte said OLT Jordan Gross hasn't displayed his usual Pro Bowl form consistently this season, and Gross hasn't disagreed with that assessment. Gross has been critical of himself and the rest of the offensive line, which has struggled thus far.
• Falcons second-year S William Moore started the last two games while the usual starter, Erik Coleman, sat out with an MCL injury. While head coach Mike Smith has said Coleman is progressing well, it's possible that Moore will keep the starting job even when Coleman returns. The Falcons would like to get a long look at Moore, a second-round pick in 2009.
• Buccaneers DE Tim Crowder hasn't cracked the starting lineup this season, although defensive line coach Todd Wash has said he views Crowder as a "third" starter. The Bucs like what they've seen from the 2007 second-round pick, and it would be no surprise if he gets worked into the rotation even more frequently. The added playing time could come at the expense of DE Kyle Moore, who is coming off a rough performance vs. Pittsburgh.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- A grand jury has indicted a 19-year-old man in the shooting death last month of a 17-year-old southwest Ohio high school student.
The Hamilton County prosecutor says Dierres Lee was indicted Tuesday in Cincinnati on murder and felonious assault charges in the Feb. 24 slaying of Justin Brown.
The prosecutor says Brown and three friends drove to a Cincinnati neighborhood to buy drugs from Lee. Investigators say the teens used counterfeit money to pay Lee for the marijuana, and Lee fired into their vehicle as they drove away. Brown was shot in the back of the neck.
Lee could face the possibility of life in prison if convicted.
Court records did not list an attorney for Lee.
