Hopkinson leaves Truro
Updated 1:42pm Thursday 7th February 2013 in Sport By Ben Power, Sports Editor
Truro Ciy have announced that midfielder Bobby Hopkinson has left the club by mutual consent after spending five months at Treyew Road.
In a statement the club said: "Bobby Hopkinson has left the club by mutual consent.
"Bobby had been on the way back after a bad injury when he joined us and itb is felt by all parties that his further recovery to full fitness would be best served by his being able to get more game-time on the pitch, which at the moment could be most easily achieved by his joining another club.
"Truro City would like to thank Bobby for his services over the last few months."

Little Mermaid Cake
If you're throwing a party inspired by Princess Ariel, no doubt you'll want to make a big splash. Complete with a candy-topped tail, red frosting tresses, and a pretty pearl necklace, this Little Mermaid cake has you covered.
You'll need:
- Cake baked in a 9- by 13-inch pan (removed from the pan and cooled)
- Large serrated kitchen knife for leveling the cake
- Smaller kitchen knife for cutting out the cake shapes
- Template for Little Mermaid Cake
- Scissors
- Wax paper
- Large piece of cardboard
- Cake frosting, red and green
- Food coloring
- Spatula or knife for frosting
- Cake board or large serving tray
- Damp paper towel
- Green Candy Melts or other green candies for Ariel's mermaid scales
- Glittery green sugar
- Rolling pin
- Medium-size hunk of fondant, tinted a skin tone
- Small hunk of fondant, tinted purple
- Bits of white, blue, and brown fondant for the eyes
- White sugar pearls (found in the baking aisle of the grocery or craft store) and/or other small decorative cake decorating candies for Ariel's necklace
- Icing rose or other flower (found in the baking aisle of the grocery or craft store) or decorating icing to pipe on one of your own
1. Using the serrated kitchen knife (a bread knife works well for this), level the cake by carefully slicing off the domed portion of the top. Then place the cake, cut side down, onto a wax paper-covered piece of cardboard.
2. Print the template and cut out the pieces. Use the specified shapes to cut out the upper body and the mermaid tail.
3. Use the specified shapes to cut out the fin cake parts, as shown.
4. Spread an initial coat of frosting on the separate cake parts (red for the upper body and green for the mermaid tail and fin), just thick enough to seal in the crumbs. Chill the frosted pieces for 30 minutes to harden the frosting.
5. Transfer the crumb-sealed cake parts to the cake board or tray, using the wax paper to lift them, and fitting the upper body and fin at opposite ends of the tail. (Note: You'll probably need to trim the wax paper close to the cake where the pieces come together, but you can leave the rest of it in place for now.) Spread on a second coat of frosting. Use a damp paper towel to carefully wipe any excess frosting and crumbs from the wax paper around the perimeter of the cake. Then you can trim the paper close to the cake edge, if you like.
6. Decorate the mermaid tail with green Candy Melts for "scales." Start at the bottom and work your way up to the waist, slightly overlapping the rows as you go. Sprinkle the tail fin with green sugar.
7. Roll out the skin tone fondant between sheets of wax paper to about ¼ inch thickness. Do the same with the purple fondant. Use the template pieces to cut out the face, the torso, arms, and bathing suit top from the specified colors. Place the torso and arms atop the cake so that the bottom edges meet the top of the tail. (Cover the seam with a small white fondant waist ruffle, if you like.) Set the face in place with the chin slightly overlapping the neck. Score shallow lines (resembling those on a clamshell) across the bathing suit pieces, and set them in place on the cake.
8. Use the template pieces as a guide for shaping and layering bits of the specified fondant colors into eyes and a mouth, and then place them on the face. Add bits of rolled brown fondant for eyebrows. For the finishing touches, press an icing rose in Ariel's red frosting hair, and use white sugar pearls and other cake decorating candies to fashion a necklace.

About Rise-N-Shine:Cathy Beggan, Founder of nutritional supplement company, Rise-N-Shine, has been in business since 2006 on top of being a single full-time Mom for three children. Beggan, being a stay at home, single mother of three children, started Rise-N-Shine while going through a divorce to support and sustain her family. Rise-N-Shine was founded on the basis of meeting every day needs naturally, and for the past four years Beggan's groundbreaking products have been helping masses of people worldwide. In 2007, Rise-N-Shine remained in a recession-proof bubble, with growth increasing over 900%, in a very unstable economy. The minority/woman owned business has developed fifteen all natural supplements for daily problems.
The idea for Rise-N-Shine was derived from Cathy Beggan, who took a basic complaint and turned it into a fully functioning supplement. Wake Up On Time, the first in the now fifteen all-natural supplements was created by Beggan out of personal experience. She had trouble waking up every morning, and noticed that nearly everyone else she spoke with shared the same problem. Set out to conquer the problem-Cathy, being an advocate of all things natural-pooled her knowledge with experts in the field and thus discovered a delayed release capsule. Wake Up On Time is a special time released capsule taken before bedtime and within six to eight hours the body awakens naturally, feeling refreshed and alert. It easily replaces a cup of coffee in the morning!
Availability: Usually Ships Within 24-48 Hours
Rise-N-Shine Go Away Gray All Natural - 60 Capsules
Rise-N-Shine Go Away Gray is an all natural supplement specially formulated to prevent & reverse gray hair! Based on scientific studies, this anti-gray formula replenishes the enzyme Catalase, which slowly depletes as we age. Hydrogen peroxide is naturally produced by the body and Catalase breaks it down. If you do not produce enough Catalase, the hydrogen peroxide takes over and bleaches your hair from the inside out, causing it to gray. Rise-N-Shine Go Away Gray contains a high concentration of Catalase, along with other special nutrients to help bring back your natural hair color, while also promoting thicker, healthier hair.
In addition to Wake Up On Time, Beggan also created Go Away Gray, another all natural supplement, except this one's used to combat and get rid of gray hair! It's a pill taken twice per day, and within 6-8 weeks your natural color begins to gradually grow back, replacing the grays!
The results from Go Away Gray alone have been just astounding since being added to the product line in late 2009! Customers are giving excellent feedback in regards to the supplement, and the best part is it's 100% all NATURAL!
Do not exceed recommended dose. Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under 18, and individuals with a known medical condition should consult a physician before using this or any dietary supplement.
May contain trace amounts of soy.

The #1 Children's vitamin brand in the US contains ingredients that most parents would never intentionally expose their children to, so why aren't more opting for healthier alternatives?
Written by Rady Ananda
Last year, at the G8 Summit held at Camp David, President Obama met with private industry and African heads of state to launch the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition, a euphemism for monocultured, genetically modified crops and toxic agrochemicals aimed at making poor farmers debt slaves to corporations, while destroying the ecosphere for profit.
It may come as a surprise to some, especially those with conventional medical training, but the default state of the body is one of ceaseless regeneration. Without the flame-like persistence of continual cell turnover within the body - life and death ceaselessly intertwined - the miracle of the human body would not exist.
In a sudden turn of events, three separate incidents of Chinese authorities identifying and destroying illegally imported GM corn from the United States have been reported.
Turmeric is one the most thoroughly researched plants in existence today. Its medicinal properties and components (primarily curcumin) have been the subject of over 5600 peer-reviewed and published biomedical studies.
This humble, but immensely powerful seed, kills MRSA, heals the chemical weapon poisoned body, stimulates regeneration of the dying beta cells within the diabetic's pancreas, and yet too few even know it exists.
If you were told to ingest a biologically alien synthetic chemical whose presence on this planet did not predate 1976, and whose structure is only a few atoms away from the deadly pesticide DDT, and you knew that not only were there no long term human safety studies performed on it, but that it had been already proven in tests to have over a dozen serious adverse health effects, would you consume it?
While coconut oil has dragged itself out of the muck of vast misrepresentation over the past few years, it still rarely gets the appreciation it truly deserves. Not just a "good" saturated fat, coconut oil is an exceptional healing agent, as well, with loads of useful health applications, which include:
MCTs, the primary type of fat found within coconut oil, have been found to boost cognitive performance in older adults suffering from memory disorders as serious as Alzheimer's -- and not after months or even days of treatment, but after a single 40 ml dose!
Turmeric has been used in India for over 5,000 years, which is likely why still today both rural and urban populations have some of the lowest prevalence rates of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in the world. A recent study on patients with AD found that less than a gram of turmeric daily, taken for three months, resulted in 'remarkable improvements.'

In a mobile web form is not a good idea to place a long dropdown lists, for both usability and to avoid problems on old mobile phones.
This is confirmed at http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...rop-down_menul
"If the list of options within the menu is long, there may not be enough vertical space to display all options and the user may therefore have to scroll. On touch devices, scrolling may be particularly difficult as the scroll bar may be too small to properly grasp."
and at http://wapreview.mobi/?p=378
I would like to know your experience and opinions on this.
Which do you think is the best alternative to a long dropdown lists, like a list of cities, on a mobile web form with several fields?

DT235: Physics with Medical Physics and Bioengineering
Get a small taste of what life in DIT is like for students like you.
DT235: Physics with Medical Physics and Bioengineering
Name: Michael Geaoghegan
Currently on placement in the Department of Medical Physics & Clinical Engineering at the Adelaide & Meath Hospital incorporating the National Children's Hospital, Tallaght.
"I found the PBL approach to learning Physics in first year engaging and rewarding. It allowed me to think about Physics in more practical way and gave me the confidence to express my ideas in a way that was more clear and concise. I have enjoyed the broad range of modules in the biology, physics and engineering fields. This course has shown me how these fields can be applied in the health care and medical industry that is both challenging and interesting. Also the extensive practical experience is proving invaluable in my current placement in AMNCH Hospital, Tallaght".
Name: Anna Kolano
Graduated: 2010, BSc Hons in Physics with Medical Physics and Bioengineering
Current Position: MScR student at University of Manchester
"Following completion of my undergraduate degree I have started an MSc by research degree in University of Manchester Accelerator Group. At the moment I am working on an optical design of a gantry for future Proton Therapy Centre. After finishing my degree I hope to stay in research and continue working on Medical Applications of Accelerator Physics.
The time studying in DIT was very enjoyable. The academic staff were very supportive so despite doing a degree in a foreign country and in my second language I was able to adjust easily and quickly reach my top level. The curriculum puts emphasis on practical side of science including PBL sessions, many laboratory hours in physics and programing, and a long term work placement which I found very useful afterwards.
The variety that it offers definitely helped me to make up my mind on what I want to do in my life. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who would like to obtain a degree that will give him/her a wide choice of career paths not only in Science and Medical Physics fields but also in Management or Finance."

PFW's Packers fantasy crystal ball is a bit blurry at the WR position due to the unsure status of veteran No. 2 WR Donald Driver heading into the game against the Jets this Sunday. Obviously at less than full strength because of a nagging thigh injury, Driver's streak of 139 games with at least one reception was snapped last week. As was the case last week, he had not practiced heading into Friday, but daily team observers tell us that, if he remains true to form, Driver will somehow find a way to play Sunday.
At the same time, though, a better fantasy option very well could be normal No. 3 WR James Jones, considering the way he escaped from WR coach Jimmy Robinson's doghouse with an eye-opening four-catch, 107-yard effort against the Vikings last Sunday night. As for Greg Jennings, all you need to know is that he will probably be spending most of his time on "Revis Island" this Sunday, which could drop his fantasy stock a tad for at least one week.

Oracle Customer: AstraZeneca (US, Canada, and MedImmune)
Location: Wilmington, DE, United States
Industry: Life Sciences
Annual Revenue: Over $5 Billion
Oracle Customer: AstraZeneca (US, Canada, and MedImmune)
Location: Wilmington, DE, United States
Industry: Life Sciences
Annual Revenue: Over $5 Billion
AstraZeneca is a global, innovation-driven biopharmaceutical business with a primary focus on the discovery, development, and commercialization of prescription medicines for gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, neuroscience, respiratory and inflammation, oncology and infectious disease. AstraZeneca operates in more than 100 countries, and its innovative medicines are used by millions of patients worldwide.
Between 2009 and 2011, AstraZeneca (US, Canada, MedImmune) (may be referred to as the "entities" from this point forward) consolidated onto a centralized, enterprise resource planning (ERP) hub to unify and standardize the entities under one chart of accounts, close cycles, and reporting capabilities. This consolidation—called the North America Transaction Processing project—facilitated alignment from an actual reporting perspective, but it left a large gap related to budgeting and forecasting, as each entity had separate systems, processes, and procedures for these functions.
The entities needed to consolidate, integrate, and standardize all planning, forecasting, and reporting functionalities into one central system from the previously disparate systems used by the entities to enable an enterprisewide view of planning data across all three North American entities. This had the additional benefit of allowing the new system to be supported by a center of excellence and utilizing fewer Hyperion administrator resources across the business. Additionally, the company needed to develop more efficient reporting capabilities to better meet company requirements for analytics.
AstraZeneca (US, Canada, MedImmune)implemented Oracle Hyperion Planning to provide a centralized reporting source for planning data and to adhere to the standard ERP chart of accounts while catering to the unique forecasting needs of each entity—such as gross margin, expenses, headcount, and working capital—in a multicurrency environment.
With the implementation, the entities gained a sophisticated solution that consists of separate applications for various planning and reporting functions by entity, and a unique profit and loss planning functionality. The architecture's design provides flexibility for each entity to conduct calculations and forecasting processes that are specific to its business, while maintaining consistent master data across all applications for integrated enterprisewide planning.
"The architecture of Oracle Hyperion Planning, as it relates to our business, is truly unique and innovative. With the solution, we've been able to drive insight at an extremely high level, while enabling more detailed reporting and analysis to run our day-to-day operations with greater efficiency." – Kara McNulty, Director – AstraZeneca US Brand Finance
The entities chose Oracle Hyperion Planning due to the solution's ability to scale to support large, complex data volumes, as well as its reputation as an industry leader in enterprise planning and reporting solutions.
"We are extremely confident in Oracle's ability to manage the large volume of data created by our unique business functions," said Karen Smith – senior director, operations/G&A finance
"In addition, Oracle Consulting put a real focus on addressing our business needs. It worked really hard to match Oracle's technical solution to our unique needs, rather than the other way around."
AstraZeneca worked with Oracle Consulting to focus on matching the configuration of Oracle Hyperion Planning to the company's specific business needs. The company went through approximately six weeks of prototyping, presenting results to the chief financial officers of each operating entity throughout the process. From there, the entities worked with program managers to capture solution requirements, then to design, configure, and build, while incorporating changes into each development iteration. The company went through three iterations before configuring the final solution.

When clients hire freelancers, they are hiring them for their expertise. I wonder why sometimes, there are some who are age-centric - who wouldn't want to hire freelancers who are way too old for their requirements. Like, there was this woman who was declined a freelance project just because she is in her 60's and her age is the very reason why she got turned down. Is there like an age limit when you're freelancing online?
asked May 24 '11 at 08:25
Marissa Sayno
The US Equal Opportunity Commission has drafted The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 - where it protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older from employment discrimination based on age. You can read more facts about this act here.
Though this is properly observed during the hiring process of an employee or in-house staff, I think that there are cases of negligence-- which is greater if a company/client is hiring remote workers. There have always been a prejudice on old age, much like when someone ditches an old stuff for a new one. Age discrimination may be more than just psychological; perhaps, it's biological as well, where we tend to associate weakness and the likes with age.
I don't think there is an age limit in freelancing--unless you volunteer to retire. Besides, being a freelancer means you're also self-employed or you are your own boss and it's entirely independent of age.

Freelance Qs
Thanks for sharing that link.. I think that you can't really blame some businesses/clients to discriminate you because of age. I'm glad that freelancing has given me more opportunities than I would in the real world. I guess, you can always go for the adage that 'if someone closes the door on your face, you can always come in through the window' - of opportunity, that is. Happy 4th, by the way!

New York Yankees fans still upset over their team's dismal showing in the ALCS now have something new to be upset about. CC Sabathia had elbow surgery on Thursday to remove a bone spur and clean out the surrounding area, according to David Waldstein of the New York Times. It was a routine arthroscopic procedure and no ligament damage was found, so it should not prohibit Sabathia from making the Yankees' Opening Day start on April 1 against the rival Boston Red Sox.
"It's what we expected," General Manager Brian Cashman said. "It was quick, minor surgery, and everything else looked really good. The ligament is intact, so that's very good."
All evidence suggests that this was a minor surgery and should have no long-term effects for the left-hander, but Yankees fans can be excused if the phrase "Sabathia has elbow surgery" elicits a collective loosening of the collar. The Yankees' rotation has relied heavily on Sabathia since he signed with the Yankees as a free agent before the 2009 season, as he has averaged more than 225 innings per year. And with Hiroki Kuroda and Andy Pettitte both eligible for free agency, Ivan Nova demoted to the minors and left off the post-season roster, and Michael Pineda slowly recovering from shoulder surgery, the Yankees can ill afford anything bad happening to their ace.

A renter's market?
For the first time in decades it's cool to be a renter. So why is it so hard to rent a home and still be "green"?
This week, as news outlets across the board reported a steep decline in home sales and prices in July, especially in the West, some reported increased preferences for renting, especially with the added uncertainty wrought by high unemployment levels. Particia Orsini of AOL's Housing Watch reported Aug. 26 that Americans, particularly homeowners, are now more likely to think that renting a home is more prudent than buying one. Other news outlets, such as Forbes and the Real Estate Channel and Time's "Curious Capitalist" blog, also recently dissected the growing preference for renting.
Orsini cited statistics from Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies. I took a glance at that report – titled State of the Nation's Housing 2010 – and found it shows that rental vacancies grew from 2006 to 2009, even though the renter pool was growing at the same time. In fact, U.S. Census Bureau housing vacancy survey data cited by the report shows that fewer people own homes in the West compared to any other region in the nation. The same numbers also show that nearly three-quarters of white Americans own homes while fewer than half of minority populations do.
So, what does this all have to do with the environment?Read More ...
The U.N. comes West
In April, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations announced that the U.S. will conduct a formal review of its position on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), an historic document over two decades in the making. UNDRIP was adopted by the U.N. General Assembly in September 2007, with 143 countries in favor and only four – New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the United States – opposing. Since that time, both Australia and New Zealand have changed their position, and Canada has announced a qualified endorsement.
What does this have to do with the West?
In her remarks announcing the review this past April, at the U.N. Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in New York, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice stated that:
(I)ndigenous communities continue to feel the heavy hand of history. Our first nations face serious challenges: disproportionate and dire poverty, unemployment, environmental degradation, health care gaps, violent crime, and bitter discrimination.
As Ambassador Rice later commented, "there is no American history without Native American history." As it is true across the nation, so is this true in the Western United States. The stories of the West's tribal peoples – stories of resource exploitation and cultural degradation, stories of empowerment and revitalization – are inextricably interwoven into the Western narrative.

Loving an (artificial) lake
I'm a longtime resident of Arizona. Your reception of this bit of information is likely affected by recent news coverage of my state's new immigration legislation, isn't it? Every now and then, the Grand Canyon State wants to reassure the rest of the country that its flaming red-state status is secure, thank you very much. Our "reddest" representatives – Governor, County Sheriffs, State and U.S. Senators, etc. -- have even taken breaks from their re-election campaigns (slogan: "No I'm more conservative!") to remind you of this on every T.V. network.
So it isn't surprising that another news item about Arizona may have escaped you: We have one less reservoir.
On the night of July 20th, Tempe Town Lake dramatically, though temporarily, transformed itself back into the Salt River and escaped downstream. A section of the rubber dam that forms the lake burst its seams. Luckily, no people were harmed; coverage on the environmental impact has been largely limited to the fate of the hapless fish left in the few remaining puddles. In an efficient but macabre twist, officials resolved this problem by donating the fresher carcasses to the herpetological society, creating a charming photo-op for that organization's spokes-alligator.Read More ...
Transportation policy's third rails
We live in a society of backseat drivers. Or backseat urban planners. Or train engineers. But often, no matter how loudly we clamor, we're not as right as we think. And that costs all of us, even if our convictions rely heavily on rational critiques of public policy.
Think of transportation policy in Los Angeles County, where Measure R, a referendum that cleared the way for a massive transportation reinvestment, is redefining the region's mythos. When I wrote about that shift in my master's project, nearly every source insisted that some other source's position was one step short of throwing low-income riders, the environment, the economy -- or all three -- under the bus. L.A.'s not unique in this case. When it comes to transit, there's a third rail everywhere you look.

National Parks for the Whole Nation
I'll admit it. There are some environmental topics I just don't know much about.
example, I first heard of the Hetch
Hetchy Reservoir when
living near Yosemite
invited me to visit during my move
from Los Angeles to Portland (that January trip was itself
my first visit to Yosemite). I saw a sign and took note of the name
mainly because I thought it sounded funny. Of course, it's more
than amusing alliteration. News about the state
of the Hetch Hetchy and a recent vote
on the reservoir's future had me wondering: how many people
served by the reservoir have actually been to Yosemite,
or any other National Park?

I grew up within sight of Channel
Islands National Park, I've only set foot on the islands
twice. I did, however, often take vacations with my family to the
Sierras and attended a summer camp there. During a summer in my
college years I spent a summer living just outside Yellowstone
and I've since traveled to a number of other national parks.
There's something else that by my very nature I won't be able to fully understand: what it's like to be non-white in America. When it comes to our national parks, I often felt as an adult like I was "catching up" with friends when I visited, partaking in an experience that I thought was normal, but turns out isn't so common for people who don't look like me.
What a week for wind
On Tuesday, July 27, the Los Angeles Times reported the groundbreaking of the immense Alta Wind Energy Center near the Mojave Desert town of Tehachapi. The story described a facility "being called the largest wind power project in the country," and its potential to generate three gigawatts of electricity for Southern California homes. Though light on opposing voices, the story did quoted the president of the nearby Old West Ranch Property Owners Association, who object to the project.
A day later, Tehachapi – and particularly the Old West Ranch – again made national headlines, albeit for quite different reasons. The afternoon of the groundbreaking a fire broke out on the Old West Ranch. NPR carried the story in its morning news update the next day. Firefighters already strained by a blaze in the nearby Sequoia National Forest struggled to keep up with the inferno. Dozens of homes at Old West Ranch were lost. Despite initial worries, wind turbines were left unscathed.
The news brought a glimpse of what life was actually like at Old West Ranch, where residents lived off the grid and as self-sufficiently as possible. This fact was barely, if at all, acknowledged by media outlets that seemed to have difficulty reconciling the ultra-modern prospect of a $1.2 billion project that could power 600,000 homes with an inwardly-focused community interested in sustainability on a very small scale. While on one hand the wildfires spared a project that could begin to significantly shift energy usage in California, they ravaged an example of an older, quieter, less shiny approach to environmentalism. It was almost as if the fire itself declared that there are acceptable, and unacceptable, approaches to sustainable living – one best left in the ashes of the past, the other glimmering in the future.Read More ...
Tribe denies trash
Editors Note: This piece is cross posted from Mother Earth Journal, where reporter Terri Hansen writes about indigenous people and the environment.
SPOKANE, Wash.—At the last minute, the Yakama Nation blocked a bid by Hawaii to ship their household garbage to a landfill that sits amid their ancestral lands in south central Washington State.
U.S. District Judge Edward F. Shea approved a temporary restraining order filed by the Yakama Nation July 29, pending a thorough environmental review and tribal consultation.
The bales of waste and rotting food were set to leave Hawaii July 30.

Growth, economics and justice
As I fretted over what to write in my debut post for A Just West, my mind kept returning to a controversy I used to follow in my first two professional journalism jobs. At both the Pacific Coast Business Times and the Ventura County Reporter, I covered the story of truck traffic from rock aggregate mines in the Los Padres National Forest through the Ojai Valley. For those unfamiliar, Ojai is a small mountain retreat about 70 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Though the valley is famous for movie stars and private boarding schools, it's also home to hardworking families, rustic ranches, and stunning wilderness. In other words, like much of the West, it's a little bit of glitz and a little bit of grit.
When a few years ago local authorities decided to permit increased trips of trucks carrying rock aggregate (an important component in roads and other construction projects) through the valley, a coalition of environmentalists and local stakeholders complained the move would increase noise, pollution, safety risks, highway damage and other problems. Mine owners and their allies, on the other hand, insisted that the coalition itself posed the environmental danger. If the opponents got their wish, trucks destined for nearby coastal communities would have to be routed so circuitously that each truck would emit hundreds of additional pounds worth of carbon, not to mention adversely impact many more smaller, possibly less well-organized communities they'd pass through.
The point is an important one however, the question rarely answered or asked was why it was an either/or situation. The quick answer at the time was that the region's growth demanded it. If the nearby cities of Oxnard and Ventura didn't buy aggregate from these mines, they'd buy it elsewhere.Read More ...
This Saturday, Prayers for the Peaks
Earlier this week I had the good fortune to share a conversation with David Johns, acting president of the Navajo medicine men's association. Mr. Johns and his colleagues in the Dine Hataalii Association (DHA) are preparing for a Navajo Nation-wide day of prayer this Saturday, to support the campaign to protect the holy San Francisco Peaks. The Peaks, which rise to 12,000 feet above Flagstaff, Arizona, at the Western edge of Navajo lands, are sacred to thirteen tribes – including the Navajo, for whom the Peaks represent a central locus of spiritual power. Presently, for tribes throughout the Colorado Plateau, the Peaks are threatened by a proposal to use reclaimed wastewater as artificial snow in order to increase the moutain's ski resort's annual skiable days.
Saturday's day of prayer will support the Save the Peaks Coalition, an alliance of concerned citizens based in Flagstaff, AZ, as they head into federal court next week. On July 20th, a Phoenix district judge will hear oral arguments on a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) question: whether the Forest Service failed to properly review the potential environmental and public health risks associated with the use of artificial snow.
This NEPA case follows an epic legal battle under the Religious Freedom and Restoration Act which concluded in 2008 when, after a victory before a Ninth Circuit three-judge panel, a rarely-convened en banc panel determined that snowmaking did not substantially burden Navajo religion. In that case, the court found Navajo tradition to be merely a "subjective spiritual experience," not entitled to statutory protection despite the colossal negative impact that snowmaking will have on Navajo spirituality and cultural cohesion.Read More ...
Representatives ask Obama to examine impacts of tar sands pipeline
In late June, the Obama Administration received a letter [PDF] from fifty members of the U.S. House of Representatives, demanding that the President take a hard look at the climate change impacts of a proposed oil pipeline that would more than double the United States' consumption of Canadian tar sands oil. This 1,600-mile oil pipeline, called Keystone XL, would transport 900,000 barrels of tar sands oil per day from Canada to the Gulf Coast, impacting natural resources, indigenous nations, and agricultural activity along the route.
In the wake of the BP disaster, the signatories to the letter expressed their concerns over the "significant energy and environment implications for our nation for many years to come" that would result if the Department of State issued the Presidential Permit for the pipeline. The authors cautioned that the pipeline "has the potential to undermine America's clean energy future and international leadership on climate change." At this critical moment in our nation's energy consumption trajectory, will the Obama Administration heed this call?Read More ...

Heat After an Injury
Topic Overview
Experts disagree about the use of heat after an injury. Some experts:
If you have diabetes or have areas of chronic numbness, do not use heat unless your health professional has told you to do so. Lack of feeling in the area could cause a burn.

PHOENIX -- There are no freeway closures planned over Labor Day weekend, the Arizona Department of Transportation said.
Current work zones will remain in place.
ADOT encouraged drivers to always be aware of the road conditions around them and to be prepared for any unscheduled closures caused by crashes or other incidents.
Drivers are also urged to carry extra supplies, especially water, in case they are delayed for any reason.
Last year, the state saw the highest number of road fatalities since 2008.
ADOT said it expects thousands of Valley drivers to take to the roads over the holiday weekend.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Trent Colt forced a Matt Forte fumble, giving the ball right back to the Eagles. This was Forte's second fumble, both of which led to Eagles touchdowns. On the first play of the Eagles ensuing drive, it looked like quarterback Michael Vick was going to be sacked right away on first down, but Vick did what Vick does. He rolled to his left, spun and doubled back to his right coming across the field and picking up 8-yards when Chicago Bears defensive end Julius Peppers finally brought him down.
On the very next play, Eagles running back LeSean McCoy took it to the house. McCoy ran the ball off the right side, making a jump cut to avoid a bears defender, then just hit the jets and scampered 33 yards for the touchdown, putting the Eagles up over the Bears, 24-17.

My wedding was not just a small, one-day affair. It was a week long marathon of entertaining, late nights, and out of town guests, and I had to keep up with everything. On the big day, with a ceremony and long reception looming, I could feel myself growing more and more exhausted. I grabbed my wedding planner and asked, "Is there a groomsman nearby? I need a favor." When the groomsman came to my aid I whispered my request in his ear. Within 15 minutes he was back with a big box of 5-hour ENERGY – enough for all the groomsmen, bridesmaids, myself, the groom and the wedding planner. 5-hour ENERGY got me through the biggest night of my life.

Early this morning the Indiana State Police investigated a three vehicle crash on SR 168 East of Owensville that claimed the life of a Princeton woman.
Troopers say at approximately 1:00 a.m. Anthony J. Yokel, 25, Port St. Luce, Florida was driving a Gold Daewoo eastbound on SR 168 just east Owensville. At the same location was a silver Chevy Blazer and a green Pontiac Grand Am traveling west on SR 168. Yokel's vehicle went left of center into the path of the two westbound vehicles.
The driver of the silver Blazer, Marvin Christian, 49, Owensville noticed the Gold Daewoo in his lane of travel and steered to avoid a head-on collision. Yokel's Daewoo sideswiped Christian's Blazer and then hit the green 1999 Pontiac Grand Am head-on.
The driver of the Grand Am, Lauren R. Hale, 20, Princeton was not wearing her seatbelt and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Gibson County Coroner's Office.
Yokel was wearing his seatbelt and had serious injuries. After being extricated from the vehicle, he was flown to Deaconess Hospital in Evansville where he remains in serious condition. Marvin Christian was not injured.
SR 168 was closed for approximately three and half hours while emergency crew worked and cleared the scene.
The crash is still under investigation and no charges have been filed but alcohol and or drugs do appear to be a factor in the crash.

First off, I'd like to thank Joel for letting us guest post here on Rocky Top Talk. If you will, allow me to take this opportunity to shamelessly plug my blog, Fulmer's Belly. ((End of self-promotion))
Sometimes, when you're good at your job, it seems like the job becomes easier. Whether that be as an athlete or an accountant, talent really helps with the ability to do a job well. That being said, some jobs quite frankly seem to be easier than other jobs. Sports reporting seems to be a pretty cushy gig in that respect. Why is that? Well, first, take a look at the highlights and the gameday crew reaction from after the big game on Saturday.
At one point, you'll hear Jay Bilas say the following:
(not letting the defense get spread out) was really a key, and we talked about, before this game what the keys were, keep them off the offensive glass, they did that, limit turnovers, they did that, and stop penetration, they did that, what a great game plan for TennesseeSo, what Jay was saying was that it was good for Tennessee to plan to outplay the Tigers? Very, very deep Mr. Bilas. But perhaps I'm being a bit harsh. Let's say that the game plan was indeed put together like that, and was carried out to perfection. That being the case, at this point, it seems that coaching is in fact the easy job in this equation. If that's all it took was to plan to play better than the opposing team, the question comes to mind: What the heck was Buzz Peterson doing all those years? I mean, he should have just planned to outplay all of his opponents.
Of course, it's always easier to criticize from afar, and I'm sure it's a more difficult job than it appears to be, but there's always room for improvement, and the Gameday crew is no different. It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it. I still think it's a pretty cushy gig, but if ESPN would like to send me to fun games to watch for free and make obvious statements about it afterwards, I'd be more than happy to oblige. In the meantime, I'll be busy planning on writing better in the future.

Don't forget to look near water, especially flowing streams through forested areas. Me and a friend were hiking the woods near Crater Lake, Oregon. Sat down to eat lunch by a stream and came face to face with a gigantic mule deer. Pretty exhilirating.
Never run from any animal you don't want chasing you! And don't forget to read Felix! the Sugar Glider Be Safe Hike Smart (Amazon). Learn essential hiking skills and how to navigate your way with and without a map or compass. A fast, easy read that could maybe save your life but definitely will make your hike more enjoyable and safe!
It's only a simple instruction which is important of course but actually when you see a bear people forget about any instructions and do something wrong..run away for instance.

He is talking about different ways to reduce your chances of a) provoking an animal to defend itself from a perceived attack (i.e. a skunk or snake) and b) startling wildlife while on the trail, which will either significantly reduce the amount of wildlife you see while hiking. The goal is to enjoy seeing wildlife in their natural habitat, without spooking them or present yourself in a threatening manor.
He's talking about different ways to better your chances of a) not startling wildlife who may try and defend itself if startled (i.e. A skunk) and b) getting opportunities to observe wildlife in their natural state without spooking them or driving them away long before you ever see them.
"� Breathe through your nose (unless you�re congested or moving fast, and need more air).
� Stalk wildlife early or late, when the ground is wet with dew, or after a rain; moisture softens leaves and twigs so they�re less noisy underfoot.
� Step slowly, knees bent, rolling forward from heel to toe. Slip large wool socks over your boots to muffle footsteps.
� Wear close-fitting clothes that won�t rub and swish. Make sure nothing is loose and hanging, even the ends of shoe laces.
� Avoid strong-scented lotions, sunscreen, and bug repellent.
� Mimic the way small animals move, in short, irregular bursts, not in a steady pattern.
� Practice walking quietly at home, around your pets. If you can sneak up on a dog or cat, you�re doing well."
What the hell are you talking about?

NEW YORK (AP) - The list of investors who say they were duped in one of Wall Street's biggest Ponzi schemes is growing, snaring some of the world's biggest banking institutions and hedge funds, the super rich and the famous, pensioners and charities.
The alleged victims who sunk cash into veteran Wall Street money manager Bernard Madoff's investment pool include real estate magnate Mortimer Zuckerman, the foundation of Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel, and a charity of movie director Steven Spielberg, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Among the world's biggest banking institutions, Britain's HSBC Holdings PLC, Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC and Man Group PLC, Spain's Grupo Santander SA, France's BNP Paribas and Japan's Nomura Holdings all reported that they had fallen victim to Madoff's alleged $50 billion Ponzi scheme.
The 70-year-old Madoff (MAY-doff), well respected in the investment community after serving as chairman of the Nasdaq Stock Market, was arrested Thursday in what prosecutors say was a $50 billion scheme to defraud investors. Some investors claim they've been wiped out, while others are still likely to come forward.

"There were a lot of very sophisticated people who were duped, and that happens a great deal when you've had somebody decide to be unscrupulous," said Harvey Pitt, a former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, a regulator in charge of monitoring investment funds like the one Madoff operated.
The extent of the potential damage prompted a leading fund manager in London to lash out at U.S. regulators for failing to detect the fraud earlier.
"I think now it is very difficult for people to invest in things that are meant to be regulated in America, because they haven fallen down in the job," Nicola Horlick, the manager of Bramdean Alternatives, which has 9 percent of its funds invested in Madoff's scheme, told the British Broadcasting Corp.
"All through the credit crunch this has been apparent," Horlick added. "This is the biggest financial scandal, probably, in the history of the markets."
Among U.S. investors, the Boston-based Robert I. Lappin Charitable Foundation, a charity that financed trips for Jewish youth to Israel, sacked its staff after revealing that the money for its operations was invested with Madoff.
New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg, one of the wealthiest members of the Senate, entrusted his family's charitable foundation to Madoff. Lautenberg's attorney, Michael Griffinger, said they weren't yet sure the extent of the foundation's losses, but that the bulk of its investments had been handled by Madoff.
Lautenberg's foundation handed out more than $765,000 to at least 100 recipients in 2006, according to the most recent listing on Guidestar, which tracks charitable organization filings.
The foundation helps support a variety of religious, educational, civic and arts organizations in New Jersey and elsewhere, and its contributions range from a gift of than $300,000 to the United Jewish Communities of MetroWest New Jersey to a $2,000 donation to a children's program at the Hackensack Medical Center.
Reports from Florida to Minnesota included profiles of ordinary investors who gave Madoff their money. Some had been friends with him for decades, others were able to invest because they were a friend of a friend. They told stories of losing everything from $40,000 to an entire nest egg worth well over $1 million.
They join a list of more powerful investors that have come forward, all worried about the extent of their losses. The roster of names include former Philadelphia Eagles owner Norman Braman, New York Mets owner Fred Wilpon and J. Ezra Merkin, the chairman of GMAC Financial Services, among others.
The Wall Street Journal, citing a person familiar with the matter, said Mortimer Zuckerman, the chairman of real estate firm Boston Properties and owner of the New York Daily News and U.S. News & World Report, had significant exposure through a fund that invested substantially all of its assets with Mr. Madoff.
The Journal also said the Steven Spielberg charity, the Wunderkinder Foundation, in the past appears to have invested a significant portion of its assets with Mr. Madoff. It said the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity, founded by the famed Holocaust survivor and writer, was hard hit by losses, citing two people familiar with the organization's investments.
Messages were left with the Zuckerman fund and Wunderkinder foundation. The Wiesel foundation said it was looking into the matter.
The Journal also reported potential investors and firms exposed to the alleged fraud included: Carl Shapiro, founder and former chairman of women's apparel company Kay Windsor Inc.; Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. co-founder Leonard Feinstein; Yeshiva University; EIM Group; UBS AG; Fairfield Greenwich Advisors; Tremont Capital Management; Maxam Capital Management and Ascot Partners.
Among those overseas confirming exposure on Monday, Banco Santander, the largest bank in the euro zone by market capitalization, said its clients have 2.33 billion euros ($3.07 billion) in exposure with Madoff, mostly through a fund called Optimal Strategic US Equity.

Settlement Agreement - Center for Biological Diversity v. United States Fish and Wildlife Service et al. (2013)
Photo credit: Flo Gardipee
On November 4, 2013, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California approved a settlement agreement between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Center for Biological Diversity that will result in the completion of Endangered Species Act section 7 consultations for the effects of seven pesticides on the California red-legged frog (Rana draytonii). The seven pesticides that will be assessed are: glyphosate, malathion, methomyl, myclobutanil, pendimethalin, permethrin, and simazine. The terms of the settlement agreement specify that the Service will deliver to EPA draft biological opinions for two of the seven pesticides no later than November 4, 2014, and final biological opinions for all seven pesticides no later than November 4, 2015.
The California red-legged frog was listed as a threatened species under the ESA in 1996, and its critical habitat designation was most recently updated in 2010.
Stipulated Injunction - Center for Biological Diversity v. Johnson (2006)
On October 20, 2006, the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California issued a stipulated injunction to resolve a case brought against the Environmental Protection Agency by the Center for Biological Diversity. The court's injunction included use restrictions, such as buffer areas around certain habitats of the California red-legged frog. The pesticide use restrictions of the stipulated injunction are still in effect. The counties affected by the stipulated injunction are listed and shown on the map provided below. Since the stipulated injunction took effect, the Environmental Protection Agency has found that 62 pesticides covered by the stipulated injunction "may affect" and are "likely to adversely affect" the California red-legged frog.
Counties: Alameda, Amador, Butte, Calaveras, Contra Costa, El Dorado, Fresno, Los Angeles, Marin, Mendocino, Merced, Monterey, Napa, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Riverside, San Benito, San Bernardino, San Francisco, San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, San Mateo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Solano, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Tehama, Tuolumne, Ventura, and Yuba.

i bought this fabric
with sonja dress on my mind
but after my 1st attempt on sonja
that idea was abandoned
and i set to find an alternative pattern
that has less fit issues
and i found the perfect one
cocktail dress from burda magazine 1/2012, mod 114
i lowered the neckline
and made bodice end at my actual waistline
attached half-circle skirt to it
and that's about it
quite pleased with the dress
(although i wish i made it a bit longer)

ANCHORAGE, Alaska The Aces defeated Idaho 3-2 in a shootout that went seven rounds late Friday night. It was the sixth straight game between the two rivals to be decided by one goal. Brett Robinson and Tommy Grant scored goals for Idaho (10-15-5) in the second period, but Alaska quickly answered after each goal. Idaho goalie Pat Nagle turned away 40-of-42 shots. Alaska was trying for a three-game sweep late Saturday night. The game was still in progress at press time.
