A Walgreens store set to open in south Evanston later this year is aiming to become the nation's first "net-zero" energy retail store, which company engineers predict will produce energy equal to or greater than what it consumes.
Officials at the energy-conscious company plan to bring together a number of green technologies at the new Evanston store at Chicago Avenue and Keeney Street, where demolition of an existing store is underway.
The project reads like a "Green Engineers Go Wild" script with wind turbines, geothermal technology that taps energy sources 550 feet into the earth, LED lighting and ultra-high efficiency refrigeration.
The store, scheduled to open in November, figures as Walgreens' second showcase project in the Obama Administration's Department of Energy Better Buildings Challenge.
The company has committed to a chain-wide 20 percent energy reduction by 2020.
Evanston was selected because of its progressiveness toward green buildings, said Jamie Meyers, Walgreens manager of sustainability. The Evanston site is also close to the company's corporate office in Deerfield, allowing the company to closely monitor the project, he said.
Net zero signifies that the project will produce more energy than it uses, feeding energy back into the power grid. The concept does not mean the company won't have to buy power from the local utility, said Menno Enters, the company's director of energy and sustainability. Particularly at night, when there is no sun the company will rely on the local utility to supply electricity, he said.
The cost of the store will be more expensive. It will also be different. Visitors to the store will see the wind turbines outside, and notice an electrical vehicle charger station.
Once in the store, they might see lights dimmer than usual, with daylight supplementing artificial light.
The company has set a November completion date. Officials said engineering estimates – which can vary due to factors such as weather, store operations and systems performance – indicate that the store will use 200,000 kilowatt hours per year of electricity while generating 256,000 kilowatt hours.
Once completed, Walgreens plans to seek LEED Platinum status for the store – the most stringent green designation by the U.S. Green Building Council, and plans to enter the store into the International Living Future Institute's Living Building Challenge.
Perhaps more significant, said Meyers, the company hopes to make ''a bigger statement about this project being a leader and showing others it is possible to do this. You can make a difference."

Louisiana officials have located the body of a man believed to be Brian Reed, the brother of Ravens S Ed Reed who went missing after jumping into the Mississippi River.
The 29-year-old's body was found about 500 feet away from the location police saw Reed jump into the river on Jan. 7. Reed jumped in as he fled a deputy sheriff.
"I just saw the sun come through the skies as he was being found and I thank God that he was found," Ed Reed told WDSU. "My gut feeling is saying yes [that the body is his brother's] because that was the spot."
Brian Reed had battled drug and alcohol problems, according to his mother, and was suspected of being involved with a car theft when he jumped into the river.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - University of Georgia police are investigating the death of a student whose body was found in his dormitory room.

Home | Route | Rules
Registration for the 2015 race will open on November 2, 2014. There are no prerequisites to apply, except each entrant must have run at least one 50-miler, or longer, in the past 13 months. (Teams which include a Badwater 135 finisher are given wider latitude.) If you would like to race, please submit your application!
What's included? First and foremost, you can expect a World-Class AdventureCORPS Badwater Event, the experience of a lifetime. Additionally, entry in the race includes:
1) Discount hotel rate at Borrego Springs Resort
2) Racer Check-In and Pre-Race Meeting
3) May edition of BADWATER Magazine with maps, route directions, rules, and all necessary information
4) Timing Checkpoints (one or two may be "self-service")
5) Race Officials on the course
6) Limited Medical Support
7) Race Webcast with time splits, Twitter, Instagram, and photos
8) T-shirt to all entrants and 2 crew members per team
9) Custom Finisher's Buckle (pictured above)
10) Post-Race Brunch11) Nine Badwater 135 Qualifying Slots (see Badwater 135 Qualifier below)
12) Discounted entry to Badwater Immersion
Detailed information will be required for each of the three team members, but each team member will submit their own information directly. To help avoid confusion, please have the following in order before submitting each team member's application:
1) A specific and unique Team Name which all three applicants will list on their application. This can be modified later, until April 1, if necessary. Please use the exact wording for your team name on each application, including whether or not you use the word "Team" in the name.
2) If you are a veteran of a Badwater or 508 event, our online results database will have assigned you your permanent AdventureCORPS ID #. If you are a Badwater or 508 event veteran, please find and input your official AdventureCORPS ID #, which you can find by searching for your name at this link. Please note that it is extremely important that this number be input accurately (if such a number exists for you). If you have never entered a Badwater or 508 event, you will not yet have an AdventureCORPS ID#. In that case, list 0 as your number.
3) Please submit all three teammates' applications on the same day so that we can review them together.
All Applicants are encouraged to take the application process seriously and compose a detailed and accurate application. Simply put, the applicants with the best applications (in terms of their athletic background, demonstrable commitment to sportsmanship, and in terms of their answers to questions posed on the application) will have the greatest chance of being selected to enter the race. Applications should be written as if the reader has never heard of the applicant and has no prior knowledge of the entrant or any of the events in which he/she has participated, including the various Badwater events. Acronyms and initials should not be used when listing events and such; please type out the full name of any event, person, or place mentioned in the application.
Due to permit, safety, and operational restrictions that limit the field to 25 teams or less, we apologize now that some qualified applicants may not be accepted. We encourage those not invited to attend the race as a crew member, a gratifying experience in itself, as well as an outstanding addition to a future application to compete.
Finally, a credit card will be required during the application process, but your card will NOT be charged upon submission. Your card will only be charged if you are selected for the race AND if you choose to submit your fee via the RunReg.com system. You may also pay by check or money order (and thus avoid the RunReg service charge). Please advise your payment preference if and when you are selected for the race.
Remember: You must submit DETAILS on your application. For each major race you mention, please include the full race name, race date, race distance, finishing time and place.

Women's Mentor Biographies
MARISSA AXELL discovered her competitive fire and athletic spirit in the swimming pool. Once she completed a successful collegiate swimming career she turned to Northern California triathlons to keep her competitive spirit alive. After conquering two Ironman triathlons and countless other triathlon and long-distance swim events, Marissa turned her attention to road
racing. With a 2nd place finish in her first road race she attended several clinics including the Early Birds Training Series. That was in 2008, and she hasn't looked back. 2014 marks Marissa's 7th racing season. She races as a Category 1. In addition to her own racing and training, she's passionate about coaching others and especially enjoys encouraging new riders in the sport. Marissa is a certified Body Geometry Bike Fit Specialist; USA Cycling Level III Coach; teaches invigorating and thoughtful indoor cycling classes, outdoor bootcamps, and TRX suspension training as a certified personal trainer; and she holds a BA in Biology from Willamette University (go Bearcats).
CAROLA BERGER got hooked on bike racing when a friend dragged her out to a certain Bay Area hillclimb on a fateful foggy January morning in 2005. She promptly dropped her chain at the start and subsequently attended the Early Birds series in order to learn how not to drop the chain at the start of a bike race. She has been racing ever since and is currently a Cat 2 on the road. Recently, her racing has taken a back-seat to other cycling endeavors. Besides perfecting her technique to pop dropped chains back on while riding, Carola is a Level 2 Power Based Training Certified Coach. With a racing and endurance background that encludes not only NRC races, but also quite a few double centuries, she coaches endurance-oriented athletes as well as those who want to bring their racing to the next level. Furthermore, she is one of the organizers of the Beat the Clock and Help Beat Cancer time trials, a training series for everyone from beginners over Paralympians and Olympians to handcyclists and HPV world-record holders. Carola is excited to be able to contribute to the NCNCA mentoring program again in 2014, since all of her mentees survived the experience despite extreme perils such as dropped chains, evil tomato trucks, and splattering gel.
LAURA CHARAMEDA'S racing results include multiple stage wins at the women's Tour de France, a medal at the World Road Racing Championships, a spot on the Olympic team, and two Criterium National Criterium titles. The number of Laura's career cycling victories are well over 250. Laura's current career foci are athletic program development, coaching and directing both junior and women cyclists, leading clinics for beginning cyclists and in 2012 she will be the Competition
Director for the inaugural 2.1 UCI Women's 2012 Exergy Tour. After retiring from professional athletics her passion has shifted her own athletic performance to helping others learn the joys of cycling at every level of the sport. Laura is currently the executive director of Team Swift which is a nonprofit organization based in Sonoma County California. Team Swift brings resources and guidance to 10-18 year old cyclists, starting with their first cycling experiences and continuing through the USA National Team level. She was also the director of the Amgen Women's Tour of California in 2007 & 2008. Laura's greatest satisfaction comes from helping athletes achieve personally defining breakthrough experiences in athletics.
MEREDITH NIELSEN is a Wenzel and USAC Level 2 Cycling Coach who has been riding and racing since 1998. She was a founder of the Left Coast Racing Team, a women's team that was the Best All-Round master women's team in the Northern California/Nevada Racing Association (NCNCA).
Now retired from racing, Meredith remains active in the cycling community and has made helping women learn to ride and race her priority. She is the 2014 coordinator of the Northern California/Nevada Racing Association (NCNCA) Women's Mentoring Program for beginning women racers, and has been active as a mentor in the Early Bird Racing Series for the last 6 years. She is co-chair of the NCNCA Women's Committee, a group formed to help encourage women to try racing and to keep them motivated to continue improving.
Meredith has been coaching Bike Skills Clinics for individuals, cycling clubs and teams for the last 6 years. She will again this year be advising the 800 (yes, 800!!) member Feather Pedals/Valley Spokesmen cycling group in their 12 week training series for the all-women Cinderella Century on April 5 2014.
She is available to coach individuals and groups though Wenzel Coaching.
Meredith is the only woman Lifetime Member of the Berkeley Bike Club (BBC) and has been the promoter/co-promoter of the Berkeley Hills road race, and BBC Criterium events.
ANDREA ATKINS says her love of cycling began at a young age when she got her first multi-speed bike complete with coaster brake, banana seat, and handlebar basket with plastic daisies on the front. She later upgraded to a Schwinn ten-speed (actuallyten!) which became her transportation to and from school. An avid bicycle commuter while attending UC Davis, Andrea completed her first Davis Double Century in 1992 and became hooked on endurance events, finishing countless centuries and 15 doubles over the next 10 years. She made the transition to road racing in 2001, and discovered that she loved the "game of chess on a bike" tactics in criteriums. She holds two NCNCA District Championships: 2004 Master Women's Crit, and 2006 Master Women's Time Trial. She competed at the USAC Masters National Championships in 2007 and 2011. Now a Cat 2 on the road, Andrea wants to share her love of cycling with other women, and inspire them to discover their passion for the sport. As a mentor, she hopes to help women develop skills and self-confidence so that they can enjoy the spirit of competition and an active, healthy lifestyle.

It was not until attending UC Berkeley that she discovered the excitement and single-minded determination of endurance sports. Kim entered her first bike race as a student at UC Berkeley in 2006.

In November, 2008, Laurel was invited to help direct the Early Bird Racing Series, a Northern California criterium series designed to introduce new racers to the ins and outs of bike racing. Laurel, an inspired coach, and enthusiastic advocate for women's bicycle racing, was excited by the prospect of coaching and developing new riders. She wanted to help find a place for these racers to go after the 5 weeks of the Early Bird Racing Series. She realized that creating a team for women racers would provide a place for these riders to continue their development. She founded the Early Bird Women's Racing Team in the fall of 2008. She currently directs The Early Bird Women's Racing team, and coaches several riders who race on the team.
JEANETTE HAGGAS developed her passion for cycling when she was training for Ironman Madison and the AIDS LifeCycle. An endurance runner since high school, Jeanette naturally loved going on long distance bike rides. She entered her first bike race in 2012 and had a blast (even though she was dropped after the 4th lap)! In 2013, she entered a total of 61 races, basically racing every single day and time there was a race for her category. Jeanette is passionate about encouraging women in this incredible sport and enjoys sharing tips and advice that she's learned from her own experiences. As a mentor this year, she is genuinely excited to help riders develop into competitive and safe racers.
DANI SPIRES discovered cycling during a visit with her parents in Pennsylvania. Immediately upon returning to California, she bought a bike and started riding. Dani fell in love with the sport and found herself competing with others on the road. She quickly decided that racing might be fun for her. In 2011, Dani joined with Velo Girls through the Tri-Flow Race Development Program. In 2012, Dani raced with Pacific Crush and upgraded to a Cat 3, then Cat 2 in 2013. Dani primarily focuses on crits and road races, with the occasional mountain bike ride thrown in for fun.
2014 will be Dani's first year mentoring. She is very excited to help others discover the love for the sport and grow the women's cycling community.
LINDSAY WETZEL POLIN picked up her first road bike as a way to stay active and recover from running injuries, and was talked into lining up for her first bike race by some very well-meaning friends. 15 years later, she is a category 1 in road and cyclocross, with experience racing all over the US. In addition to her racing experience, she has a degree in sport psychology, and is co-owner and coach at Sprintin' Kitten Coaching.

If making homemade mix isn't your thing, you can substitute with any bag of store-bought munchies and skip right to crafting some turkeys to adorn your jar.
First, prepare your "gobble, gobble" mix. If you're making your own batch of munchies, I recommend using the original
Chex mix recipe found here on their website. I use the oven preparation version. Otherwise, you'll need a 15oz. bag of the store-bought version. Place your party mix in a medium bowl and add nuts, peanut butter flavored candies (such as Reece's Pieces) and candy corn. The measurements aren't exact, but 1 cup of each should be sufficient. Sometimes I'll even add a cup or two of Honey Nut Cheerios.
After mixing so the candy pieces are distributed evenly, you can fill your jars. One batch will fill 3 quart-sized canning jars. I prefer to use wide-mouthed jars making it easier for your recipient to snack from. Add the seal and tighten the rim before tying on extra wide lace ribbon.
To create your turkey embellishment for the front of the jar, you'll need to use your Fuse Creativity System along with Medium Design Set 0108 to create some letterpressed leaves using brown ink on cardstock. Clip the stems off of the leaves, and then overlap them as shown to create the base for the turkey's fan of feathers.
Run a variety of paper scraps through your Paper Crimper, then punch using your Oval 'N Oval Squeeze Punch. You'll need a total of 5. If you need color inspiration, you might find
Pantone's Fall 2012 Fashion Color Report to be a helpful guide.
Use glue dots to adhere the 5 punched ovals to the back of the layered leaves.
Hand-cut a turkey head from light brown cardstock. You'll notice the head resembles the shape of a wooden kitchen spoon. Add character to the turkey by cutting a beak, waddle and adding blush to the cheeks and eyes with marker. Define the outline of the turkey by inking the edges with dark brown ink. Embellish the neck with a single strand of brown baker's twine tied into a bow.
Adhere turkey head to feather fan using dimensional foam adhesive. Then adhere to the front of the canning jar using glue dots.
Stamp "happy thanksgiving" from the Holiday Hooplah Repositionable Stamp Set onto cardstock using a coordinating color of ink. Then adhere to canning jar below your feathered friend.
I hope you enjoying gifting your friends and family with some homemade "gobble, gobble" mix! We here at Fiskars are wishing you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Although Amsterdam is generally thought of as an expensive city to visit, there are plenty of ways to enjoy a break as a couple on a smaller budget. One of the most beautiful aspects of the city is its canals and archaic buildings, all of which can be explored by simply taking a stroll through winding cobblestone streets, blossoming courtyards and over bridges. Amsterdam is famed for its museums and galleries and if you don't want to go to the expense of admission fees, visit the outer arcade in the Civic Gardens Gallery, which is lined with 17th century impressive paintings and is completely free. Eating can be cheap too, especially if you head to Damstraat, a street lined with little restaurants that serve some great value bites.
Despite a reputation as a lively clubbing capital, Amsterdam is actually one of the most romantic destinations you could hope to visit as a couple. A beautiful city floating atop a maze of canals, it is the perfect place for enjoying some stolen moments of escapism. Whether you choose to simply wander across the winding streets and get lost in the atmosphere, or cycle across the streets and over waterways, you will find yourself falling in love all over again. Take your time and explore Amsterdam's art and history together, seeing famous works from Rembrandt and Van Gogh, or take some dreamy nights strolling in the starlight and finding a local restaurant to sample some of the finest traditional cuisine.
Amsterdam is full of possibilities when it comes to things to do. You can spend the day wandering across the city, exploring its twisting old backstreets and walking alongside the waterways, or you can hire a bike and ride across the canal ring discovering further. There are a number of museums and galleries, such as the Maritime Museum, Anne Frank House and the Van Gogh Museum, or you can explore some beautifully built churches and synagogues. Once the sun begins to appear in the spring, Amsterdam becomes a blooming city, with a variety of parks where you can spend time enjoying a picnic and a bottle of wine.

Amsterdam is a great destination for a short break, providing you make the most of the city during your stay. For a quick tour, hire a bicycle and trace the city's waterways, which will take you past historical sights, architectural wonders, galleries and museums that you can stop off at on the way. There are charming markets where you can quickly pick up some local produce or you can spend your weekend watching the world go by from the cobblestone terrace of a café. If you're after a lively weekend, spend some hectic nights making sure Amsterdam lives up to its spirited night time reputation.
With some of the most varied and unique markets in the whole of Europe, you could spend days wandering across the stalls, unearthing rare finds and seeing a wealth of different items. The Albert Cuyp Market is over 100 years old and has almost 300 vendors, selling everything from fresh fruit and veg to spices, shoes, flowers, accessories and fabric. Bloemenmarkt, Amsterdam's floating flower market, must not be missed, with flowers blooming every colour of the rainbow. If you want to pick up some affordable artwork, the Spui Art Market and the Thorbeckeplein Modern Art Market are great places to see some local artists showcasing work that is often much cheaper then the galleries.
If you wish to truly make the most of a weekend break in Amsterdam, it is more convenient to stay in the city centre. For budget travellers, the Artemis Amsterdam and the Eden Hotel are in the middle of the city and both are impressive venues offering great value for money. If you want to splurge and treat yourself to a truly remarkable stay, take a look at the five star Grand Sofitel. Perching between two canals it is a magical, palatial building with an opulent interior, a fine restaurant and even a Turkish Bath.

The criminal cases of two brothers accused in a string of burglaries in Lyme, Old Lyme and other towns have been transferred to the New London court where major crimes are heard.
Justin P. Weissinger, 25, and Karl W. Weissinger, 22, made their first appearances before Judge Susan B. Handy this week and entered not-guilty pleas. The older brother has a total of 12 cases pending, including nine burglaries, and is being held at the Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center in lieu of a $400,100 bond. He had initially been represented by attorney Matthew G. Berger, but Berger withdrew from the case at Weissinger's request. Handy appointed Glastonbury attorney John E. Franckling, a special public defender, to represent him. His next court date is March 6.
Karl Weissinger, who is free after posting $10,000 in cash, is charged with six burglaries. The judge appointed attorney Jeremiah Donovan as his special public defender and continued the case to March 28.
According to arrest warrant affidavits, the brothers broke into homes while the owners were away and stole quality jewelry and antiques. A Mystic jeweler has admitted he bought approximately $100,000 worth of items from the two brothers, who he said told him they had been bidding on abandoned storage units.
Two of the burglary victims who have been attending the brothers' court appearances met this week with Senior Assistant State's Attorney Stephen M. Carney, who will be prosecuting the cases, and Victim Advocate Beth Ann Hess.
State police recovered many of the stolen items but are holding them as evidence in the case.

Pneumonitis (noo-moe-NIE-tis) is a general term that refers to inflammation of lung tissue. Although pneumonia is technically a type of pneumonitis because the infection causes inflammation, most doctors are referring to other causes of lung inflammation when they use the term "pneumonitis."
Factors that can cause pneumonitis include exposure to airborne irritants at your job or while you participate in your hobbies. Some types of cancer treatments as well a dozens of drugs also can cause pneumonitis.
Difficulty breathing — often accompanied by a cough — is the most common symptom of pneumonitis. Specialized tests are necessary to make a diagnosis. Treatment focuses on avoiding irritants and reducing inflammation.
The most common sign of pneumonitis is shortness of breath, which may be accompanied by a dry cough. If pneumonitis is undetected or left untreated, you may gradually develop chronic pneumonitis. This is especially common in cases of hypersensitivity pneumonitis, in which you may be continually exposed to a lung irritant without realizing it. Signs and symptoms of chronic pneumonitis include:
When to call a doctor
Call your doctor anytime you have difficulty breathing.
Pneumonitis occurs when some irritating substance causes the tiny air sacs (alveoli) in your lungs to become inflamed. This inflammation can interfere with the delivery of oxygen to your bloodstream.
A variety of irritants, ranging from airborne molds to chemotherapy drugs, have been linked to pneumonitis. But for most people, the specific substance causing the inflammation is never identified. Pneumonitis causes may include:
Occupations or hobbies
Some occupations and hobbies carry higher risks of pneumonitis, including:
Cancer treatment
Some chemotherapy drugs can cause pneumonitis, as can radiation therapy to the lungs. The combination of the two increases the risk.
Pneumonitis that goes unnoticed or untreated can cause irreversible lung damage. Normally, air sacs within your lungs stretch and relax with each breath. Chronic inflammation of the thin tissue lining each air sac can make the air sacs scar and become inflexible — stiff like a dried sponge. This is called pulmonary fibrosis. In severe cases, pulmonary fibrosis can cause heart failure, respiratory failure and death.
While you may initially consult your family physician, he or she may refer you to a pulmonologist — a doctor who specializes in lung disorders.
What you can do
You may want to write a list that includes:
What to expect from your doctor
A thorough medical history and physical exam can provide important clues about what might be causing your symptoms. Your doctor may ask some of the following questions:
To distinguish pneumonitis from other lung disorders, you'll likely have one or more of the following tests.
Imaging tests
In most cases, pneumonia affects only a small, localized portion of your lungs, while the effects of noninfectious pneumonitis are often spread throughout all five lobes of your lungs.
Pulmonary function tests
A test called spirometry measures the amount of air that you're able to inhale and exhale in a specific period of time. Your doctor may also measure how efficiently your lungs transfer gases from the air into the bloodstream during exercise.
Another way to assess the efficiency of your lungs is to measure the oxygen saturation in your blood with an oximeter — a device that painlessly clamps on your finger.
A bronchoscopy is a procedure that uses a flexible tube threaded down your throat to view your airways and collect samples from your lungs. Once the tube is in place, your doctor may flush a section of your lung with a saltwater solution to collect lung cells and other materials. This flushing procedure is known as a lavage. Your doctor may also insert a tiny tool through the bronchoscope to remove a small sample of cells from the lung tissue for testing.
Surgical lung biopsy
In some cases, your doctor may want to examine a larger sample of tissue from several locations within your lungs that cannot be reached via bronchoscopy. A surgical procedure to obtain these samples may be necessary.
If you have hypersensitivity or chemical pneumonitis, avoiding allergens is a common-sense approach to treatment. By eliminating exposure to the allergen or chemical irritating your lungs, you'll likely notice that your symptoms lessen.
In severe cases of pneumonitis, treatment may include:
A diagnosis of pneumonitis may mean that you'll have to make changes to your lifestyle in order to improve your health.
For example, if your job duties expose you to substances that irritate your lungs, talk to your doctor and supervisor at work about options to protect yourself, such as wearing a pollen mask or personal dust respirator. If a hobby, such as owning birds, is causing the problem, you'll have to consider giving it up altogether.

Stanford unveils Mayfield housing project plans

Is this housing reserved for campus employees? Low income housing? Or available to the general public?
I have no problem with more campus housing since homes near school reduce car usage. Selling these homes to the general public will dramatically increase car traffic in a pedestrian-heavy area.
on Feb 7, 2013 at 9:28 am
Why was this presented to the CTRA first? Stanford has an agreement with the city for this. Naturally CT will try to leverage this to get money/concessions from Stanford or the city. They are good at that.

Another great move by Stanford. Thank you.

Two weeks ago, many sunflower and soybean fields were covered in
snow, delaying the harvest of late season row crops. Early November has
produced dry mild weather, so producers have been able to combine, but
yields are being impacted by the early winter storms.
Many of the
sunflowers in this field are not standing tall. The stems weren't stout
enough to hold up under the weight of the heads plus a couple of inches
of snow. Curt Coleman estimates yields are dropping 300-500 pounds per
acre due to grounded stocks.
"The One's that are flat, you
just can't pick them up, you can go down and try, we've got lifters on
our pans, that helps a lot, without those we'd be losing a lot more buts
they still don't get them all," says Curt.
All the heads that
are left behind won't go to waste. The Coleman brothers plan to turn
their cows and calves loose in the sunflower fields after they combine
what they can.
"They'll clean those up and go from head to
head, just pick them up. It will clean them up, there won't be any
laying there when we take the cows out, lets put it that way," says
Clark Coleman.
The sunflowers will provide calves that are headed
to feedlots in Nebraska with some rapid weight gain, but next year the
Colemans plan to make some cropping changes to avoid being forced to use
oil seeds for feed.
"I think we'll have less late season
crops, we'll probably going to do a little more canola, maybe a little
more spring wheat, maybe a little more barley. It's just too risky this
time of year to have this many acres still to harvest," says Clark.
their fields dried out, the Colemans harvested soybeans first, and they
still have twelve-hundred acres of corn to cut after they finish the
sunflowers. Clark and Curt say their soybeans averaged 30 bushels an
acre they say is which OK, but they are expecting a good yields on corn
and they can combine that crop even if it does snow again.
with the recent dry weather, the North Dakota row crop harvest is still
well behind normal years. Only 26 percent of the states sunflowers
have been cut according to this weeks USDA report. Last year at this
time 88 percent had been combined. The corn harvest is only 47 percent
complete, a year ago 97 percent of that crop was already cut.

Expandable Walk-Thru Pet Gate 1 1
Great Product! I purchased 2 of these in the last 12 months and they work great! We use one to keep our dogs from going upstairs and the other for keeping them inside the family room. It works perfect. It is a quality product with a handsome wood finish. The self closing mechanism works well. The the latch is easy to open but secure enough that our larger dogs can't push it open. This gate is a permanent installation, with two screws going into the wall on each side. It's different from the others that Improvements offers. Other gates are held in place by tension. The beauty of this gate is there is no threshold to step over, or trip on. We have opened and closed our gates thousands of time and they still work and look great. November 1, 2012

Just thought about this, and it's mostly about where Morales is after this Garcia fight. If he looks half decent in his upcoming fight, then how do you see a Hatton fight going?
I'm not sure if this fight makes much sense, but I know one thing, it will sell crazy tickets. Question is, where would it be held? When?
Again, this sounds like a weird matchup, but it does have money written over it. Not like Hatton hasn't fought an over the hill fighter in route to a bigger fight, in the past. Morales is just dangerous enough to make it a decent scrap, but just vulnerable enough for Hatton to control things.
This IS boxing that we're talking about.

let hatton get his feet wet before u throw him to a guy like morales. i'd like to see where hatton is first. i think morales is pretty solid these days. i'm sure the rest served ricky well too.
If a cautious and jabbing Paulie could cut this guy and stop him, then a wild overweight Hatton shouldn't have much trouble. I think this is the perfect time for Ricky to get Morales, no way in hell I would've call for this fight years ago.
Well, now that I think about it, a few years ago ('06 and '07), Erik was very beatable, and ready to hang 'em up, but he was a lightweight too, so who knows. I just think he's just dangerous enough nowadays to make it a good fight. Hopefully Danny doesn't bury him next weekend though. Lol

Re: v 8 m project
I have never heard of any but my cousin it in the process of doing the same thing and an uncle of mine and former IH engineer put a Lincoln V8 in an M but they made all their own adapters the frame rails on the m need to be altered to fit a 350.(but not a Lincoln V8 as they are narrower)

Re: v 8 m project
I don't know this for certain, but I thought that Perkins, M&W or somoene like that had made diesel engines to drop in to Farmall M and 400/500 tractors. I would think that they used an adaptor plate of some kind.
Also, look up Gary Dotson's post and pictures about his Cubota tractor, where he used a Kubota 3-cylinder diesel engine in a Farmall Cub tractor. He made his own adaptor plate out of 1/2" steel plate. I would think that something like that could also easily be fabricated.

Tourism Studies
The Degree
Associate in Science (A.S.)
The Outlook
A degree in Tourism Studies can take you anywhere - literally! Tourism is a global industry that offers a diversity of career paths not found in most other industries. The U.S. travel and tourism industry generates nearly $1.8 trillion in economic output for the U.S. economy each year, and tourism is the second largest industry in the state of New York.
Finger Lakes Community College's A.S degree in Tourism Studies gives students the knowledge and skills needed for success in a wide variety of careers in the tourism industry. Graduates will be prepared to transfer to four-year institutions in pursuit of baccalaureate degrees in tourism management and business (with focuses such as destination marketing and event management).
According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, employment of meeting, convention, and event planners is expected to grow 33 percent from 2012 to 2022, much faster than the average for all occupations. As globalization increases and businesses continue to recognize the value of professionally planned meetings, demand for meetings and events is forecasted to grow. Applicants with a bachelor's degree in hospitality or tourism management are ideal candidates for job opportunities.
Finger Lakes Community College is one of the only community colleges in the state that offers this unique program. Four-year institutions that offer bachelor's degrees in tourism studies and related areas include Niagara University, Rochester Institute of Technology, University of Central Florida and others.
The Program
The A.S. in Tourism Studies program provides the preparation needed for transfer to bachelor's degree programs. FLCC students will learn through classroom instruction, integrated case studies, and visits to venues and destinations. Conferences and special opportunities to learn from high profile tourism professionals play a key role in our commitment to providing a field-based education.
Field Trips: Students get the opportunity to gain real-world insight through a variety of field trips. In recent years, students have attended the Travel Industry of America Marketing Outlook Forum (TIA) and the New York State Governor's Conference.
For many students, these experiences bring the program to life, connecting the case studies and theories learned in the classroom to real-life examples. This experience can often help a student develop a broader view of these exciting and diverse career fields.
Online Courses: As part of the SUNY Learning Network (SLN), students pursuing the A.S. in Tourism Studies degree may take all of the curriculum requirements online. Students may take a course at a convenient time and place without the need to travel to campus, thus eliminating any time and location restrictions a student may have.
Honors Courses: Students in this program may enroll in our Honors courses, open to all qualified students, which provide enhanced educational experiences for students with outstanding ability. Successful completion of Honors courses or an Honors Certificate may increase student transfer options to four-year institutions.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this degree program, students will be able to:
- The student will employ a basic knowledge of Tourism to facilitate successful transfer in those disciplines.
- Tourism Studies students will employ a knowledge of event management components and their centrality to tourism businesses
- The student will be able to identify the components that contribute to the unique aspects of tourism as a business.
- The student will interpret statistical data utilizing critical thinking skills and its application in the Tourism Industry.
- The student will explain the international growth and emerging impact of the Tourism Industry.
- The student will model professional decorum and behavior.
The Graduates
The tourism industry is one of America's largest employers with 14.4 million total jobs. In 2011, domestic and international visitors to New York State spent $53.8 billion on tourism- related services, ranking the state third behind California and Florida. With the merging of tourism, sports, and entertainment, the continued growth of this industry and career opportunities are assured. Growth has occurred in the areas of destination planning/management; event management; and adventure and experience-based tourism.
Careers and Salary: Having evolved from a travel-agent stereotype, tourism is a profession that increasingly requires preparation at the bachelor's degree level in the areas of management, marketing, planning, and finance. Graduates who earn bachelor's degrees go on to land jobs such as convention sales manager, casino and theme park marketing manager, director of tourism, event and conference manager, meeting planner, director of conference services, and urban tourism planner. As of May 2012, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, the median annual wage for meeting, convention, and event planners was $45,810.
The Faculty
Faculty members in the Tourism Studies degree program hold master's degrees and are responsible for authoring and implementing this award-winning degree program. They were also responsible for the establishment of the Walt Disney World College Program at Finger Lakes. This landmark program was the first destination tourism associate degree program offered by a community college in New York State. Our faculty members are recognized by the State University of New York as Chancellor Award winners for excellence in teaching. They are active members of the local tourism industry and have extensive experience consulting, visiting, and analyzing model destinations across the United States and Canada.

- Amazing!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/30/2014My husband and I stumbled upon this place while we were in the area house hunting a few months ago and we were blown away by their food! It was the best meal that we have had in a long time. We are now living in the area and dined here the other night for our first "date night" without the kids since moving. As the previous visit, we loved everything that we ordered, from our drinks to our entrees. Service is great too! Amazing place! It's a must try!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Believe the HypeRabbitfoodDined on 8/26/2014The food I'd unbelievably good. We had drinks, appetizers and meals. Everything was fantastic but standouts are plantain chips with chimichurri, the beef brochettes, the fried snapper, and the skirt steak. A pricey meal but worth it because portions are large and food is yummy. The service is great too. The only negative is that it is kind of dark. More lighting would be good so I could see all the delicious food.Special Features:
- great ceviche, substandard saladschlomoDined on 8/23/2014the ceviche mixto was wonderful as was the maya shrimp. however the chopped salad was made with the outer romaine leaves which are coarse and tasteless. $9 salad could be a lot better with romaine hearts, avoid the chopped saladSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing Food ~ Impeccable ServiceFoodie4LifeDined on 8/22/2014Upon arrival, we were seated immediately & the hostess wished me a 'Happy Birthday', after noticing I made a note that we were celebrating my 30th Birthday! Our server, Lauren, was very knowledgeable with both the cocktail/wine menu & the dinner menu, offering us the specials of the evening & helping me decide between things based on her personal recommendations. The food was phenomenal and delivered in a very timely manner, with the perfect amount of time between courses. She also brought me a birthday dessert, on the house!! For the quality of food & trendy scene/ambience - it was worth every penny!! Definitely will be back again soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Worth a Driveuflaw82VIPDined on 8/22/2014My wife and I have been coming here for several years. We live in Fort Lauderdale and always get off I-75 when driving to Tampa Bay for a visit in order to dine at Selva. The Peruvian-influenced food and pisco-infused refreshments make this restaurant worth going out of your way. The lamb, short rib, shrimp piri piri and risotto dishes are favorites.Special Features:
- Always GreatsteveDined on 8/17/2014The Selva Grill has never disappointed. Our first meal out after a move from the East Coast of Florida three years ago. Always have had great food. Has become our favorite restaurant. We are never concerned about bringing guests because they have always gotten rave reviews from our guests. Fabulous rack of lamb, ditto for their steaks and seafood. Wonderful wine list, interesting sides and dessert and great food. What more can you ask of a restaurant?Special Features:
- tastyChicagoDiner07VIPDined on 8/12/2014Creative and tasty. We both had the skirt steaks after receiving numerous recommendations from friends. It was excellent said one person and I said it was very good. It had a lot of flavors going on, something different than how I normally have a skirt steak (usually just grilled). It was fun to try something different and the service was GREAT!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 1st ClassSarasotaJoeDined on 8/9/2014The food and service are always outstanding at Selva. I try a different Ceviche every time, and it never disappoints.

I didn't. How did the Texans manage to keep this a secret?
Mario Williams spoke to Mark Berman about Sunday's upcoming tilt against the Texans.
Is DeMarcus Ware's contract a good template for the Texans to use when considering how to handle a new deal for Mario Williams?
Undaunted by his repeated failures at predicting whether the sun will come up tomorrow, Tim from BRB boldly issues his weekly predictions for this week's Texans game (e.g., at Ravens).
The Texans made a ton of personnel moves today. Odd, seeing as how we're in Week Six of the 2011 NFL season.
Who wins the coveted Samsung Game Ball of the Week at BRB? The fallen destroyer of worlds, that's who.
John McClain of the Houston Chronicle is reporting Mario Williams will have surgery and is out for the season.
Before it gets lost to the abyss that is post-game reaction and Mario Williams injury news, the defensive performance deserves to be highlighted.
Mario Williams tore his pectoral muscle. Is he out for the year?

There is a reenergized effort to put fire sprinklers in every newly built Cape Coral home.
NBC2 learned Tuesday morning supporters plan to present the ordinance to city leaders in late March. They say without the mandated move a fire can easily spread and endanger the most vulnerable like senior citizens and children.
But other construction industry experts pushed back and told us the added expense could kill the American dream of homeownership for some buyers.
Inside Vietnam veteran Jim Shannon's southeast Cape Coral home Tuesday afternoon, he worried about the "what-ifs."
"At night if there is a fire and I'm in bed, I can't get out," Shannon said.
He said the hard-to-spot and recently installed new fire sprinklers washed away his worst fears.
"It was a no-brainer," Shannon remarked. "The sprinkler system absolutely protects you. It protects everything."
Harbor Island Construction's Sam Davis helped to make the upgrade, which cost several thousand dollars, possible for Shannon.
"The need for this is to give people another 10 or 15 minutes to get out of a fire," Davis said.
The builder wants Cape Coral to require him and other contractors to install fire sprinklers in every new single family home for safety.
"How do you replace your child? You can't," Davis said.
While no one disputes the added safety of security, construction experts fear a rigid requirement could stall growth in a struggling economy.
"Mandatory is a tough one to swallow," said Moe Beneke with Cape Coral Construction Industry Association. "If it was just safety, there's not a person in our industry who wouldn't say yes...but it's more than that."
In her office Tuesday afternoon, Beneke stressed the added costs could price out some new homeowners. She battled back against the effort and stressed sprinklers should be a consumer's choice.
"Someone who wants a fire sprinkler system will buy a fire sprinkler system. That is their prerogative. It is the person who can't," said Beneke.
A vote on the proposed ordinance could come as early as April.

Click the link below to "find yourself". Map courtesy of the USDA.
How can I find my USDA plant hardiness zone?
Click on THIS LINK for the new 2012 USDA plant hardiness zone map. You can search it by zip code.
Do you live in an area (like Nevada County) with varied terrain and varied USDA zones within one zipcode? Call your local Master Gardeners for expert guidance in establishing the USDA zone for your property.
Here's a list of the national Master Gardener programs. For Californians, try this list of Master Gardeners by county.
In our new video Tricia explains that knowing your zone is the first step in choosing the right fruit tree for your land. This is true for most of the plants and trees in your garden.
What are plant hardiness zones?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture sorts the whole country into plant hardiness zones. The national map shows gradations of the average minimum temperatures, based on decades of weather records.
For instance, your winter weather might hover around 36F at night, but if cold snaps drop it to 28F the lowest number is the one the USDA factors in. Worst-case scenarios are what they cover.
Why is the weather for zone 7b in California so different from zone 7b in North Carolina?
The USDA zones are only about low temperatures. Other climate differences between California and North Carolina (such as humidity, rainfall during the summer, and highest temperatures) are not considered.
Betty Yuill Says:
Nov 2nd, 2011 at 6:55 am
The zone map is incorrect for my area. I live in Bloomington,CA and it has me as zone 8b…..our temps are never ever down to 15 degreees. We are more like what is zone 10a where Victorville is. But that is incorrect for them also as they are high desert and get snow whereas we don't. They are probably more like a 9a or 8b. I suppose it varies area by area depending on microclimates. Our zone is classified with the coastal area which is much cooler than we are here. A few miles can make a difference down here with hills to account for. I work in Riverside and watch my temp gauge on my way to work…not long ago there was a 16 degree difference due to Santa Ana condition and the hills that blocked it.

Betty, You are so right on the microclimate issue! You said, "I suppose it varies area by area depending on microclimates. Our zone is classified with the coastal area which is much cooler than we are here. A few miles can make a difference down here with hills to account for" and the coast and the hills lead to lots of variations.
Keeping our own garden temperature records helps a great deal, and local Master Gardener groups often have the low temps mapped by topography if your area is not consistent and easy for the USDA to describe with its map.

I was blocked from entering my zip code on this map. But anyway, there are so many microclimates in foothill areas that these generalized maps are not worth much. I live down in the bottom of a frost pocket. 1/4 mile away on the hillside, my neighbor can plant way before I can, and grow stuff that would freeze to mush at my place.
Charlotte from Peaceful Valley Says:
Oct 8th, 2012 at 10:53 am
Fran, Sorry you are blocked by the map! It is working fine from my computer. As you say, though, the foothills microclimates are so varied. In Nevada County our Master Gardeners have a detailed map in the Western Nevada County Gardening Guide—but a few years of experience on a piece of land is the best info of all.

Charlotte from Peaceful Valley Says:
Mar 27th, 2013 at 10:41 am
Page, Looks like you are just east of the Cascade Range, so you should have no problem growing asparagus. Two items that can be a problem there are soil saturation (be sure soil is loose and light) and gophers.
