Dive Into Spring, But Protect Water Quality
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 17 April 2013 22:32
- Written by Super User
RALEIGH, N.C. : April 10, 2013 - The N.C. Division of Water Quality is offering tips on how to get your swimming pool ready for warm weather while still protecting streams and lakes nearby.
Although the chemicals used to treat pool water are safe for humans, those chemicals can kill fish, plants and other aquatic life in streams. Pool owners can help protect water quality by following a few simple steps:
• For chlorine pools, lower the level of chlorine to less than 1 milligram per liter before draining the pool. The easiest and most natural way to do that is to leave it uncovered so the water is in the sunlight for 5-10 days without adding more chemicals. If you prefer, de-chlorination kits can be purchased at pool, spa and home supply stores. A pool test kit will help to monitor the chlorine levels.
• Salt water pool systems have become more popular in recent years because of the reduced need for chemicals. However, draining a salt water pool to a fresh water creek will still be toxic for fish and other aquatic life in the stream. Make sure total dissolved solids are below 500 milligrams per liter before draining the pool.
• Dealing with algal growth or "green" pools requires killing the algae first through chlorination before de-chlorinating the pool as described above. You can rinse out diatomaceous earth pool filters in grassy or landscaped areas.
The residue can be used beneficially in the garden or scooped up and thrown in the trash. Some types of filters should be discarded in the trash for solid waste disposal.
• After preparing the pool water for draining, drain the water for several days on the lawn, moving the hose occasionally to prevent erosion. Avoid sending water down the driveway, along the curb or into a storm drain. The storm sewer system leads directly to streams, wetlands, lakes and rivers.
• Store pool chemicals in a secure place where they are not exposed to stormwater and are away from a wellhead.

Betsey Johnson Lace Platform with Embellished Heel Style SBVICKI 3 3
So Perfect! Seriously, when I saw these shoes, I knew I had to have them! The lace, the sparkles, the blue bottom, so amazing. Now these shoes are high! So i definitely recommend a little practice in these shoes before you walk the down the aisle. Unless, you're used to walking in very high heels, then you go girl! My only complaint is that the ankle strap is a little too tight, even on the loosest setting (I have very wide feet). But I think I'm just gonna suck it up and deal with it, because the shoes are too beautiful, i don't even care. I was surprised that at the top, at the peep toe, that wasn't tight! The shoe overall is definitely not going to be the most comfortable shoe of my life, but if you're willing to give a little up for that for style, then it's totally up your alley! I would recommend this to every bride who wants to have a little extra flair! July 9, 2014
O.M.G.!!! I LOVE these shoes! Just got them today and OMG! They are BEYOND adorable! A bit shakey about buying online because of how weirdly sized my feet are, but they are perfect! Just a little too big in the back, but if I had gotten the size smaller, they wouldn't fit in the top. (I have feet that are wide just at the top part...) The bling isn't cheaply glued on, excellently designed. HUGE Betsey fan so when I saw them I HAD to have them. SO PERF! Can't wait for wedding day!!! June 17, 2014
Absolutely Beautiful I was hesitant about buying my bridal shoes online before trying them on, but I have no regrets now! These shoes are beautiful and true to fit! The 7.5 fits perfect! The heel is high, but that doesn't bother me because I wear high heels all of the time. I can't wait to say, "I do" in these shoes! The picture does not do these shoes justice! These are show stoppers!!!!! May 13, 2014

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- In just the past year, Mayo Clinic has added more than 1,000 new jobs in Rochester... and 2,000 statewide.
In an announcement by its CEO, Dr. John Noseworthy says although the last year was strong some uncertain issues linger in the years to come revolving around a Destination Medical Center and the future of health care reform.
There is a lot riding on the DMC bill to put the image of Rochester in a new light. It's another year in the books, on the brink of one of the biggest year in its history.
And Mayo Clinic's stride isn't slowing as far as patients go.
"For patient care in 2012 Mayo Clinic's 61,000 employees care for 1.1 million patients," explained Mayo Chief Administrative Officer Shirley Weis.
"Compared to 2011, revenues grew by 6.3% to $8.8-billion while expenses grew 4.6% to $8.4-billion," said Noseworthy.
Mayo Clinic's total income operating activity for 2012 was $395 million.
However, because of the uncertain future of Health Care Reform, over the next five years, the clinic is expected to get paid anywhere from 20 to 40-percent less for the work they do.
"As a result we have to stop some things," said Noseworthy. "And you are aware that we have stopped our initial work at the Mall of America." He explained. the clinic has focused its efforts elsewhere by prioritizing and reducing operating budgets in other areas.
last year, 14 new locations were added to the Mayo Clinic Care network across the nation including one in Puerto Rico. "We plan to add 10 more of these, approximately in the next year including, perhaps, one or two international sites," said Noseworthy.
And although 2012 was promising, the Destination Medical Center Rochester bill is making its way through legislation. "We feel it's moving ahead. We're ahead of schedule. in terms of the way this bill is working through," said Noseworthy.
The Rochester chamber of commerce is keeping a very close eye on the DMC bill. "I applaud the community for stepping up to that challenge and recognizing we too need to do business differently," said Chamber President John Wade.

A great climb with lots of variety. Start about 20' left of Layback, at a clean corner with two cracks. P1: Climb the easy corner to a roof. Traverse 10' or so left around the roof (optional belay), work your way up 10 to 15' to a horizontal, then head back right around the nose. Above, a thin crack (crux) leads up. The pro is a bit tricky to place. Suddenly a big jug appears and you're up to a belay below the final overhang. 5.9, 120'. P2: A short pitch through the overhang takes you to the top. 5.8, 40'.
Small wires at the crux. Double ropes are useful.
The climbing above the crux section is run out. Not the crux itself, but the (easier) climbing above it. Gear was sparse. I built an anchor in the alcove because of rope drag. The first move into the roof is exciting - a bomber left hand jam but then a dynamic move to only a decent right hand. Bump higher and it's all over. I can understand why the previous pitch is rated more difficult, but for me, this was the hardest single move on the route.
Spoiler alert: go under, not over the tree on the first traverse. Rope management may be the crux on this. I linked the two pitches with doubles once, but I don't recommend it due to drag (not to mention sheer weight of the ropes) and the ugly potential consequences of coming off the 2nd pitch crux with lots of stretch in your rope.
"...Above, a thin crack (crux) leads up. The pro is a bit tricky to place. Suddenly a big jug appears and you're up to a belay below the final overhang. 5.9, 120'." It isn't hard to do this as a single pitch with double ropes and no drag, but there is a trick: only clip the right rope up to the first roof (of course use a long runner under the roof), traverse left and pass the left rope in front of the tree. (You have to untie to do this of course. I just clip the left rope to me with a biner, unclip it and pass it around the tree, and then tie in with it at the "optional belay" stance after I've stepped past the tree.) Use the left rope on the one or two pieces you place for the left-hand face. After traversing back right, revert to clipping the right rope, and don't use the left rope again until you get to the alcove and are climbing the final bulge. (By the way, the "bomber hand jam" referred to above depends on your hand size. The jam I get isn't even remotely bomber and once, on an extremely humid day, came flying out mid-move.)
What a creative route! But in all fairness, I think the overhang move on the last pitch is solid 5.9 for short people (short being less than 6 feet). Single rope beta: either split it up in three pitches or run it out from the tree to the nose where the crux starts. Otherwise, the rope drag will spoil the very fun crux.

From the Lancaster (Pennsylvania) NewNews

From the Lancaster (Pennsylvania) New Era:
Competitors in the Lancaster YMCA triathlon might notice a few things at next month's race:
-- Some new guys directing traffic on the bike course.
-- A bigger crowd of racers.
-- And, oh yeah, maybe a guy in a wizard's hat crossing the finish line.
All are the result of the Penryn Fire Police's decision earlier this year to stop providing traffic control for the YMCA's annual swim-bike-run race held north of Lititz.

Hi All,
I was trying to open a URL using embedded browser in my application. When tested the app in Symbian S60 3rd Edition devices , the page is getting loaded without the images . When i tried the same with Native browser on the same device the images got displayed . Also, the App is working fine in S60 5th edition devices . I tried building the app with MR SDK and FP2 SDK , but of no use.
Please let me know , is there any settings / capabilities or any other API need to be used for the images to get displayed in S60 3rd Edition devices. What's the differences in settings between the Native and embedded browser
Please some one help me on this..

At the end of last week, my TED blog interview went live. It was a lot of fun to do, and my answers reflected on the philosophy behind our design practice, using details from some of our projects to expand on our aspirations for the future. Its quite a long piece, but I hope you enjoy the read.
Following the interview, I hosted a 'live conversation' on the TED site, prompted by the question:
"As unmanned drones, algorithms and prosthetics blur the distinction between man and machine, what, if anything, does it mean to be human?"
I was unsure as to how this live conversation would unfold, as it was only publicly announced just before we kicked off and was scheduled to run for an hour. After about 15 minutes, responses began flooding in, which was a real surprise. Site traffic was so high, in fact, that the conversation was extended by an additional half hour. I was typing furiously, trying to respond to as many people as possible, fielding challenging comments and questions. It was a great experience, and a lot of fun!
Here's the full thread, if you fancy checking it out.
After months of toil deep in the Drupal mines, we have just launched our shiny new website. Though we were fond of the old site, we really needed the space and structure to expand on individual projects and the studio's core mission. The new site comes with our new logo, inspired by the Devanagari script, and designed by the talented Fran Marchesi.
We've added an explanation of Superflux's structure, some examples of our way of working, profiles of our associates, and links to presentations and publications. We've also included an email newsletter, for more regular updates from the studio. Big kudos and thanks to Jon for all the development work, Justin for the incredible effort with words, and Carolina and Noah for their valuable input.
Here's the old website, for comparison and posterity:
As October's Indian summer starts to fade away, it's time to reconcile ourselves to the reality of autumn, and reflect on a busy couple of months at Superflux HQ.
At various points in the last few months, it's been hard to remember a time before we were working on the new website, text iterations and design decisions weighing heavy as we juggled pitches, project work and the endlessly challenging task of defining Superflux's core mission – something we'd all grasped at an intuitive level, but found near-impossible to articulate.
But now it's done, and we're back on the grid. So let's take a look at some of the other things we've been up to.
In the final week of August, we dialled into the Yeditepe International Research Conference of Foresight and Futures 2011 to deliver a poster presentation on 'Design Futurescaping'. This was part of a decidedly post-geographical session on participatory foresight and images of the future, with Team Superflux beamed onto a screen in a Turkish university, alongside Noah Raford and Scott Smith (both in London), Wendy Schultz (Oxford), and Jake Dunagan (Bay Area, CA).
With Anab travelling to Rotterdam at the end of September, to present on design fiction at V2_, we developed some of the ideas from this rapidly-assembled poster presentation into a longer paper to accompany her talk. Combining points from 'Learning to Play with Tomorrow', Anab's keynote from LIFT 2009 (as unpacked by Bruce Sterling) with case studies and best practices from our work, Syd Mead's designs for the world of Blade Runner, and academic writings on the public understanding of science and technology, the paper – also titled 'Design Futurescaping' – can be found in Blowup Reader #3.
From the Lab side of our operations, in August, we decided to pitch one of our ongoing projects to The Designer Fund in Silicon Valley. To our surprise and delight, we were one of the eight teams selected for mentorship and seed funding, with three months of guidance and support to help us take our idea from concept to prototype. Once at the prototype stage, we hope to be a position to consider additional funding options, with the aim of realising a minimum viable product.
Our team for this project is small and agile, with our associate Mark working on physical computing, technologist Tim Brooke lending his expertise in computer vision and robotics, Jon focusing on user experience, and Anab working on story and narrative. As of October, we are roughly half-way through prototype development, and, though we can't say too much, things are ticking over nicely.
Also under the Lab umbrella, we've been extending the work we started with Song of the Machine, building on our collaboration with Dr. Patrick Degenaar and his research team at Newcastle University. On one level, we've been brainstorming ways to develop our research. We're eager to kick off some kind of qualitative user research, focusing on the ways our prospective users are likely to interact with their immediate (domestic) environment.
At the same time, we've also been focusing on some of the commercial aspects of the team's research. Patrick Stevenson-Keating, a skilled and versatile designer, has been working with us to develop a form factor prototype of the wearable – something that can help Dr. Degenaar expand on the product concept and functions when pitching to investors.
In addition to our activities in the studio, we've found time to catch up with friends and travellers. We've had interesting conversations with the fine folks at Precipice Design and MMM/Re:think. In Rotterdam, Anab enjoyed catching up with Alex Deschamps-Sonsino, Julian Bleecker, and Michelle Kasprzak. Back in London, we touched base with futurists-in-transit Scott Smith and Heather Schlegel, and bade a reluctant farewell to Noah Raford, who we wish every success in his voluntary secondment to Abu Dhabi.

We left New Orleans on Feb 2nd 2014 in the total fog. We did enjoy the city as it gave it a mysterious ambiance especially when you think about the cemetaries and legends that are vehiculed about it.
Embarkation was not the easiest we had in the past cruise we did. It was our second cruise with NCL (the other being on the Spirit to Bermudas a few years ago). So we knew it was not the standard we had with Celebrity or Princess, but we were aware there would be some difference.
New Orleans port is, for what we saw, going under renovation. I hope it will be easier for people to be going through traffic as you have to wait many minutes just to be dropped with your luggages by the taxi: buses, cars, taxis all converge in a small area and it is chaos. We were litteraly 3 to 4 blocks away in a hotel but not close enough with our luggage to walk it. So the taxi was $7 per person ($14 for two) for a ride that should have lasted 3 minutes, but they charge per person as they know they will be stuck at the drop off zone.
Once on the ship, we were able to get to our cabin quite rapidly, but that was after we were like a herd of tourist waiting in line for something like 45 minutes.
Room: (inside cabin just under the casino). We were concerned a bit that the room that had been assigned to us would be noisy, but really, we heard nothing the whole week. The size of the room as OK and as expected. It was clean and our room stewart was always smiling and pleasant. He did an excellent job. One thing though: the matress on the side of my husband was really showing years of abuse, being shaped almost as a banana. We did not tell anybody, but maybe we should have mentioned it.
Food: At first, we could not understand why some people had been complaining about the food. It was good and there was a good variety. But as the week progressed, we found it to be repetitive and very standard. The Garden Cafe Buffet presented many stations, but when you think about it, a whole section was for Indian food and stir fry. Personnally, we love exotic food, but it was always the same thing. For the pasta bar, it was pasta and your choice of sauce. Nothing else: no vegetable, no chicken, not shrimp. Pasta and sauce. I was told I would have to book at the paying restaurant if I wanted shrimp in my pasta! I had to laugh about it. They did offer a package at $119 per person to go and eat in any of the a la carte restaurant, but we relied on our past experience and left it open as we thought the main dining room would offer a better experience.
Really, that is not what happened. On one of the evening, I really was disappointed with their "new Orleans combo of shrimp and beef". My idea of New Orleans style shrimps is not 3 breaded shrimps beside a small steak. I would have thought it would have been more creative. As for dessert, we were not the only one finding that there was way too many dessert made of gelatin. In the end, everything tasted the same. They did have the chocolate fountain at night at the Garden Cafe, but their main thing was the Bread Pudding. Yes it was very nice, but all by itsef in its category. I remember some sorbet (coconut once and pineaple another night) that were very good.
We did eat at the Bistro (French cuisine). It was very good. We had the duck magret and confit and as for the started, the 4 cornets. Nicely presented and refined as well.
we did attempt to eat at Moderno. We had heard that the food was really excellent. Oooops. Major problem there. Three of the restaurant a la carte gives on the Atrium: Chin Chin, Moderno, and the Sushi Bar. We had a reservation for the Moderno at 8.30 PM (they are not opened on lunch time except on sea days). We sat down and when our waiter came to take our order, we could not hear him. He almost had to scream so we could hear him. The inconceivable thing is that since there are no walls seperating the restaurant from the atrium, the shows scheduled (that night was a tribute to Neil Diamond) are so loud that you cannot hold a conversation! And it was until 9.30 PM. When the manager of the restaurant came to see us because we wanted to leave, he was very gracious and understanding. He also said that he has that kind of problem every week!!!! I sure hope that the refurbishing due in May will take cake of this problem. Already that the ship atrium is far from being impressive... this is really a major problem. No wonder there was always room in the restaurant.
We did sample the sushis at the Sushi Bar before a late dinner and it was good.
Shows: They were all excellent. Very impressive that show called Le Cirque Bijou. The performers were really on the ball and gave it all they had.Jaimie the cruise director is far from acting like on of these Diva we had seen on an European ship one day: she did a very good job, was funny without being vulgar, and we felt she really enjoyed people and her job too. Good for you Jaimie! She was accessible and always smiling. A good asset for NCL.
As for all of the personnel, we can honestly say that they are very pleasant and work so hard to please their guests. Even the captain seems to be a good sport and seems close to his passengers. He also seems to show appreciation for his team (from the people in the laundry room to his officers).
See below for our port reviews.
In all, we enjoyed the destinations. We knew we did not want to spend too much, so we figured we had what we paid for. Was it a good deal? It was a honest deal. Knowing what we know, we would have paid a little bit more as we missed the dining experience this time. For us, it is part of the fun of cruising. We really look forward to these wonderful dinners.
We hope that this will have been helpful.. And we take this opportunity to thank the family who was part of the cruise critics community and invited us, after the roll calls, to visit the Villa they had rented. It is rare that people will share this privilege. The mother (Christmas Carole) was a lovely lady. I will remember them for a long time.

Genmaicha Green Tea is an extraordinary Japanese specialty. A blend of high quality Sencha Tea and partially roasted rice produces a unique and original taste. During the roasting of the rice, it is not uncommon for the rice grains to 'pop' not unlike popcorn. The Sencha leaf provides a delicate yet fragrant cup while toasted rice adds body and sweetness to the finish.

Comments about The Coffee Bean Genmaicha Green:
I've been hooked on Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearl for a long time and wanted to finally try something new. I'm really glad I did because I absolutely love the rice flavor with the green tea in a latte. Absolutely yummy! It's perfect for any time of day.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The pieces of roasted brown rice make this tea very mellow, and not at all bitter. It is hands down my favorite green tea!

Coming to U.S. This Summer, Highly-Anticipated LG G3 Smartphone Features Predictive Technology, Quad HD Display and Optimized UI
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., June 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics has taken the wraps off of its highly anticipated new premium flagship smartphone, the LG G3. Already well received by key wireless carriers around the globe, the LG G3 will begin rolling out this summer with more than 170 wireless carrier partners worldwide, including major U.S. carriers and retailers, such as T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile specialty stores.
"With the LG G3, we've developed a premium smartphone that provides a one-of-a-kind simple and intuitive user experience," said Morris Lee, senior vice president and head of North American sales and marketing for LG MobileComm, the maker of the acclaimed G smartphone series, LG G Pad 8.3 tablet and innovative, curved LG G Flex smartphone.
"The LG G3's noteworthy innovations – outperforming the impressive advancements of its predecessor, the popular LG G2 – include our new Quad HD display, a first for smartphones in the U.S., our exclusive Laser Autofocus camera for quicker, sharper photos, LG Knock Code for enhanced security and a new optimized user interface with predictive, adaptive technology. We expect these attributes to make LG G3 a top competitor in the premium smartphone category, further solidifying LG's role as a strong Top 3 player in the U.S. market," Lee said.
According to Strategy Analytics' first-quarter 2014 smartphone shipment data, LG holds a strong number 3 market share in the United States. Building on the acclaim of the premium G series, the LG G2 has set the stage for the LG G3's expected widespread success in the U.S., Lee said.
Under the banner "Simple is the New Smart," LG last week celebrated the global launch of the LG G3 in major launch events in six cities on four continents. More than 150 event attendees in New York and San Francisco, and thousands of viewers online, tuned into the live stream of the official global press briefing held in London for the global introduction of LG G3.
U.S. VIPs, analysts and journalists in attendance were among the first in the world to experience the LG G3's 5.5-inch Quad HD display, which provides an unparalleled smartphone viewing experience while being designed to easily fit in the palm of your hand. LG G3's Quad HD IPS display (2,560 x 1,440 resolution) boasts over 3.8 million pixels, four times the resolution of many of today's HD smartphones for incredible, life-like detail.
For the first time, U.S. smartphone aficionados had the chance to experience the LG G3's innovative new features during the hands-on demonstrations in New York and San Francisco.
The world's first smartphone with Laser Auto Focus and Tap to Shoot, the LG G3 allowed them take picture-perfect shots using its 13-megapixel rear-facing camera with OIS+ technology. Alongside the camera demo stations, LG's new, simplified user experience was on display, spotlighting its new Smart Keyboard, Smart Notice and Smart Security features:
A collection of new premium accessories (sold separately) previewed last week include:

And there is the sRAW mode to decrease the stored MPixel count to keep files smaller (never tested it but it should be the case).
I shoot SRAW1 all the time on the 5DII, and MRAW on the 7D. This gives an effective resolution on each camera of about 10 Mega pixels, sufficient for my needs. Processing these files does however still require significantly more computer grunt than did the 10 Mega pixel files from my previous 40D.
Quality wise it's fine and I believe grouping of pixels in this way helps a little in the way of built-in noise reduction.

1/22/12 WODNo TT today for me did a longer run and focused on form (more lean, let heels "kiss" ground, pull last min.). 11 miles around 8:30 pace. Longest I've ran in a while. Nice to change things up and enjoy the training rather than worry about going fast. Felt pretty good running too. Enjoy football today everyone.

RE TT& QuestionBradM-- The drop off is normal. There is an adaptation phase towards doing both of these WODS in a day. If your nutrition is not dialed take a look at it. 3-4 months is a good marker. We've seen much less and much more.

Results & site questionsrun 5k - 20:53
run 5k @ 90% pace - 22:55
I have a couple questions.
Why is there a delay between entering a comment and it showing? The other day one question got a half dozen responses I guess because people didn't see the other replies. Yesterday, I chose not to answer a question assuming someone else already did. It's not a big deal to me. I just think users would answer questions better without the delay.
Last week JMac asked for more results posting. I follow strength and CF programming from my local box for convenience and the endurance programming from here (as close as I can manage). I'll try to be more consistent posting my CFE results. Do you also want to CF WODs (or anything else) not programmed here?

Bike (switched SAT and SUN)As the state song goes (Oklahoma), the wind was blowing down the plains today. I had every intention of doing tabatta rounds on the bike, but ended up doing 10 miles with more than half a fight with 30 to 60 mph winds in about 32 minutes, dirt included. At least I get the respect head nod from all the other riders out there toughing it out too. You can pick your race but you can't pick your weather, so train on.

Tabata BikeI did the Tabata bike workout today. 8 minutes warm up (high cadence spinning), 8 rounds of Tabata Bike (approximately 1.54 miles total distance), 8 minutes cool down (high cadence spinning). 20:00 total, 6.3 miles total.
My local box programmed the Holbrook Hero WOD this weekend so I was going to do that today. Unfortunately, my lower back was tight and running was not an option. Instead, I did 5x2 ME Bench Press (165) and 10x2 DE Front Squat (95). Followed up with a version of Fran with 30 LB Dumbbells (21-15-9 DB Thrusters, Pull Ups). Finished in 7:08. Did a lot of Mobility work afterwords to work on the lower back and hips.

RunObviously, I'm in the "adaptation phase" Kaitlin mentioned above. I've been doing CFE as RX for about a month now, maybe a little more. Prior to that I was LSD running with 2-3 conventional weight training a week. I started out on the 5k at a 7:30min mile pace (would have previously breezed through it at that pace prior to CFE) and GASSED OUT at a mile and a half after 11min 30 secs... Demoralizing. But I'm still keeping an open mind and sticking with CFE.

Every Child Ministries can help you:
The sack or mat on which these street children sleep is their only bed and their only protection from the cold, damp ground. During the day, they hide it and hope it will not be stolen before nightfall.

At Every Child Ministries, a Christian mission for the forgotten children of Africa, we understand that albino children are valued and loved by God. Like EVERY CHILD, they are valued because they are created in the image of God. These children are often ostracized, sometimes ridiculed, neglected, despised.

- Items stored onsite must be requested before 16.00 for delivery the same day.
- Before you register for a pass you should search the Library's Catalogues to confirm that we have the material you require. Remember to bring with you details of those items you wish to see.
- The Library does not hold multiple copies of standard texts and is not generally suitable for university course work.
- You cannot borrow items from any of our Reading Rooms. However, items marked DSC or Lending collections in the catalogue may be requested as interlibrary loans through public, academic and business libraries.
- We do not normally issue a Reader Pass to anyone under the age of 18, although we occasionally make an exception to see specific items which are unavailable elsewhere. There are special arrangements and you must apply at least 10 days in advance of your first visit.

Why is this political crisis different from all the others?
It's different because Republicans are badly divided over the government shutdown while Democrats are united. President Barack Obama and his party want to say, firmly and unequivocally, that they will never again give in to the Republicans' abuses of the governing process — or to their willingness to risk catastrophe. In the GOP, by contrast, there was buyer's remorse about the party's current adventure even before it began.
It's different because the Republicans are causing fiscal chaos over an issue quite apart from normal budget wrangling and making a demand — for gutting the Affordable Care Act — that they know Democrats, especially the president, cannot meet.
It's different because the new health care system got up and running on the very day the shutdown began. Conceding to the GOP would take health insurance away from people and ruin a program for which we now know there is a public appetite. It's not going to happen.
It's different because Obama is different. In the past, he was always ready to negotiate and typically went out of his way not to cast showdowns in partisan terms. This time, he's freely calling out "House Republicans" as the culprits. He's confident in asserting that serious talks can take place only if Republicans stop using threats to the country's well-being as bargaining levers.
And it's different because the Republicans have no coherent strategy. Their leaders, as one Republican put it to me, have been laying track just ahead of the train as it roars forward.
They are making insulting offers — for example, proposing to fund a few parts of the government that they cherry-pick while allowing the rest to languish.
House Speaker John Boehner's approach has been driven by fear: fear of the most right-wing House members, fear of rabid talk-show hosts, fear of the Frankenstein monster of fanatical organizations the party has relied upon to gin up the faithful.

A divided U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that police can take DNA samples from people they arrest for serious crimes. The court decision comes in a Maryland case and it's unclear if it will have an effect in Georgia.
The 5-4 Supreme Court majority equated DNA cheek swabs to fingerprints and mug shots following arrest for a serious crime, but the court's dissent warned of a major change in police powers. At least 28 states and the federal government take DNA swabs following an arrest. Georgia allows that step only in cases of people who have felony convictions.GBI Assistant Director Dan Kirk told FOX 5's Paul Yates that the bureau annually enters about 20,000 DNA samples in the state's database. About 270,000 DNA profiles are currently in the system."In the state of Georgia, right now we collect DNA samples from all convicted felons, whether they are on probation or incarcerated in one of our facilities," Kirk said. But while the High Court's decision will likely allow states to resume and expand programs to take DNA samples from people who are arrested, that will not be the case here in Georgia unless state law is changed.The GBI estimates that expansion of DNA sampling would cost the state about $3,5 million. The state Senate this year approved legislation allowing DNA cheek swabs following felony arrests, but the bill stalled in the state House. The measure's sponsor told FOX 5 that he will try to win final passage next year. Supporters of changing Georgia law say all the states bordering Georgia allow DNA sampling of people arrested for serious crimes.

Left to Right: MVAC Director Timothy
McAndrews; Award Recipients Joseph Tiffany, George Garvin, Bob Halseth,
Margaret Cade, and Loren Cade
James P. Gallagher Award in
Archaeology Excellence
Joseph A. Tiffany
This year MVAC's James P. Gallagher Award for
Archaeology Excellence is being given to Joseph A. Tiffany, who recently
retired from a joint position as Executive Director of MVAC and
Professor of Archaeology at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse.
During Joe's 11 years as Director, MVAC's long list of accomplishments
ranged from improving its curation capabilities to successfully
completing a wide range of contract and educational projects, including
receiving a 2012 Wisconsin Department of Transportation Tribal Award for
Excellence for its work on Hwy. 35 in Onalaska. Joe made other
significant contributions to archaeological excellence. For the past
three years he served as editor of The Wisconsin Archeologist, the
oldest continuously published archaeology journal in the nation, and
compiled high-quality and well-received issues. He also served as
president of the Wisconsin Archeological Survey, the state's
professional archaeological society, and played a key role in revising
the statewide standards used in cultural resource management. In
addition, he has enthusiastically continued his own research in the
nearby Great Plains region, crafting high-quality studies and
publications, including his popular Guide to Projectile Points of Iowa.
In his retirement, Joe will undoubtedly continue to maintain the same
high standards in his future research. This award acknowledges his
future endeavors as well as those conducted during his time at MVAC and

Regional Archaeology Award
Robert "Bob" Halseth
Bob Halseth has worked with MVAC's Regional
Archaeology Program for over two decades. An avid artifact collector,
Bob would often bring in artifacts he'd found in the La Crosse area for
identification and to report new sites. He also introduced MVAC to
several other local collectors, thereby helping us record more of
western Wisconsin's Precontact heritage. Even though he lives in
Madison, for many years Bob made the journey to Valley View Mall to
display his collection at the Artifact Show. Bob loved explaining to the
public what each artifact was and how people used it in their everyday
life. He enjoyed his discussions with other collectors at the show even
more! Bob is currently in the process of donating a significant part of
his collection to MVAC. Materials he has donated include points, end
scrapers, awls, grinding stones, stone axes, celts, and a bison scapula
hoe, all in display cases he has hand crafted. Bob has also donated an
exceptional modern reproduction of a stone blade with all the knapped
flakes refitted, reproductions of pottery vessels, 1930s-era pipes, and
numerous journals. MVAC is pleased to present Bob Halseth with this
year's Regional Archaeology Award in recognition of his continued
commitment to archaeology and his efforts to preserve the past.

Archaeology Education Award
Loren and Margaret Cade
Loren and Margaret Cade have a long history
of involvement with archaeology and MVAC. In 1994, MVAC awarded
a Regional Archaeology award to Loren for his contributions to
documenting this area's rich cultural history. Loren's careful
recording of artifacts found on his family's Vernon County land
and his sharing of that information with archaeologists, led to
listing of the 661 acre Cade Archaeological District on the
National Register of Historic Places in 1988. More recently, 70
acres of the Cade District have been protected as Eagle Eye
State Natural Area through a partnership between the Mississippi
Valley Conservancy, MVAC, The Archaeological Conservancy, and
the State of Wisconsin's Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program.
This year, MVAC's Archaeological Education Award is being given
to Loren and Margaret to recognize another major contribution:
sharing their knowledge and appreciation of this region's
cultural heritage with members of the public. The Cades have
hosted and participated in educational hikes and tours, public
and university field schools, and other educational programs.
They have had vital roles in MVAC's National Endowment for the
Humanities Summer Institutes for Teachers. They have also been
active participants in MVAC's annual Artifact Show. Throughout
these outreach activities, Loren has shared his knowledge of
regional archaeology, traditional arrow-making and hunting
techniques, and ethical collecting. Loren and Margaret are
dedicated stewards of their land and its rich heritage, and they
are gracious and generous in their involvement with students,
professionals, and the public. We are honored to recognize their
efforts by awarding them this year's Archaeology Education
Back to Top
Distinguished Service Award
George Garvin
In its 31-year history, MVAC has given out only six
Distinguished Service Awards, and this year we are awarding our seventh,
to a very special recipient, George Garvin. George is a member of the
Ho-Chunk Nation, and is the Repatriation Researcher for the Ho-Chunk
Nation's Heritage Preservation Department. For many years, George has
worked on some of the most difficult and sensitive issues related to
heritage preservation and archaeology, namely, those concerning burial
sites, human remains, and objects of cultural patrimony. George is
widely known and highly respected for this work, and his dedication is
legendary, and a model for others. For those of us working at MVAC, he
is a valued colleague. He has graciously shared with us his knowledge,
his wisdom, and his perspective on these sensitive issues, and in doing
so has changed and expanded our own perspective, contributing to better
understanding, cooperation, and good will. We feel honored to be able to
work with George, and we wish to honor him, in turn, by giving him this
Distinguished Service award in recognition of his extraordinary
accomplishments and commitment to his ongoing work.

Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney was the overwhelming winner of England's Football Writers Association Player of the Year, earning over 80% of the vote to gain his first FWA award.
Rooney finished well ahead of Chelsea's Didier Drogba and Manchester City's Carlos Tévez.
FWA chairman Steve Bates offered the following, in a statement released on the association's web site:
Wayne is a worthy winner of our prestigous award and the margin of his victory is testimony to the marvelous season he has had for club and country.
His tally of 34 goals so far this season is certain to have captured the attention of our members but I am sure the overall improvement in his game at Manchester United has been of equal significance.
Wayne's enthusiasm, hunger and desire mark him out as a special player and we hope he can carry his club form onto the international stage in the World Cup this summer and help England achieve their dream.
Last week, Rooney had won the equivalent award from the Professional Footballers Association, succeeding teammate Ryan Giggs. With the FWA award, Rooney follows Liverpool's Steven Gerrard, who succeed Rooney's former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the award in 2006-07 and 2007-08.
Also through the FWA, Rooney had the following to say about his honor:
I am delighted to win an award with so much history and tradition and to follow a long line of wonderful players who have been honoured by the FWA since 1948 gives me real pride.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my manager at United Sir Alex Ferguson,the coaching staff and my team mates without whose help and support this award would not have been possible.
Also a big thanks to my family and friends for their constant support which is always appreciated.
In 42 all-competition appearances, Rooney has 34 goals, 26 of which have come in his 30 English Premier League matches. His previous career best in league goals came in 2005-06, when he scored 16 in 36 appearances. His all-competition goal total bests his mark of 23 (in 55 matches) set in 2006-07.

Dragons must be up for breakdown battle
9:50am Tuesday 18th September 2012 in Dragons By Chris Kirwan
AFTER being bullied at the breakdown by a Sam Warburton-inspired Cardiff Blues, Newport Gwent Dragons have been told they must up their game when they take on a side known for being cunning at the contact area.
The Dragons are still smarting after seeing the Blues, who were woeful but not as woeful as their hosts, take the spoils 16-5 at Rodney Parade last Saturday. It was a drab encounter that was dominated by errors and the whistle of referee Neil Hennessy, who was infuriatingly inconsistent at the breakdown.
The Blues, with Warburton and fellow flanker Josh Navidi to the fore, won that battle and the Dragons know it's area that must be targeted on Saturday.
They travel to Limerick to take on Munster – a side they haven't beaten on their own turf since the first season of regional rugby.
"Munster are renowned for their skills on the floor and it's a massive challenge for us but we have to look at it as a great opportunity," said centre Ashley Smith.
"Last weekend was a massive disappointment and when we gathered in the huddle afterwards we said that the standards were not good enough.
"We didn't put the Blues under pressure through the phases, we let them off the hook and they turned us over too much.
"It was a massively frustrating performance, we let our fans down and didn't put into practice what we had done in the build-up.
"But we have started afresh and looking forward to the Munster game now because we know that we have to be much, much better." Smith came off the bench at half-time against the Blues when in-form centre Andy Tuilagi was forced off by a calf problem.
The 25-year-old, who was troubled by a tight hamstring in pre-season, has been among the replacements for all three of the Dragons' RaboDirect Pro12 fixtures so far but has his fingers crossed for getting the nod at Thomond Park.
He said: "Andy and Pat (Leach) have been excellent in midfield, in fact the whole back line have been in good form and that's why they've been selected for every game.
"You can understand them staying in and the rest of us just have to bide our time and take the opportunity when it comes.
"Hopefully I'll be playing at Munster and I can get a bit more game time, but hopefully it won't be down to Andy being injured."
Injuries suffered by centre Andy Tuilagi (calf) and hookers Steve Jones (calf) and Hugh Gustafson (ankle) will be assessed further this morning.
Early indications are that they are not serious and the squad received a boost yesterday when winger Tonderai Chavhanga took part in his first contact session since his summer knee operation.
* There will be a minute's silence at all RaboDirect Pro12 games in memory of Ulster centre Nevin Spence, who died in a farming accident on Saturday night along with his 30-year-old brother, Graham, who was married with two children, and their 52-year-old father, Noel.
Ulster's fixture against Zebre in Parma on Friday has been postponed.

Matt Lopez named A-Sun "Player of the Week"
March 3, 2008
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Senior shortstop Matt Lopez was named Atlantic Sun Conference "Player of the Week" after leading the Dolphins to a sweep over Gardner-Webb, the program's first at Varsity Field since the Bulldogs joined the conference in 2002.
An all-freshman selection in 2005, Lopez suffered through nagging injuries last season but enters 2008 in full health and continued his torrid hitting in Boiling Springs, N.C.
"Matt has always been known for his glove but he has always been above .320 as a hitter when he is healthy," said JU head coach Terry Alexander. "You can see he is back to his old self by the way he has started this season and I expect him to conclude his final year in a Dolphin uniform on a good note. Matt is starting in his fourth year at shortstop for us and has been a big piece to the success we have enjoyed the past two seasons."
In a weekend in which JU stayed undefeated and jumped out to a 3-0 conference mark for the first time since 1991 (6-0), Lopez batted .467 (7-15) with four doubles, a home run, five RBI, 14 total bases, a .933 slugging percentage and a .467 on-base percentage.
In game one, he finished 3-for-5 with two doubles, a home run and two RBI, but this biggest hit was a two-run round tripper to break a 6-6 tie in the eighth and lead the Dolphins to a 9-6 win.
In game two, Lopez only batted 1-for-6 with an RBI but the hit was his second game winner in as many days when his lone hit drove in a run in the top of the 12th, which led JU to a 6-5 win.
In the finale, he did his part at the plate once again by going 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI en route to a 7-1 Dolphin win to complete the sweep.
The Dolphins will continue the non-conference portions of their schedule with a home-and-home series against UCF, beginning on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in Orlando, Fla.

Join me on his A-Z journey into A SENSE OF PLACE where I reminiscence on places that are connected with my family history or are part of my own personal memories.
The small town of
St. Chad's Church in photographs
taken by my uncle Harry Rawcliffe Danson
Poulton is a much older settlement than its more famous neighbour
Reminders of the past are still visible in the Market Square, with its market cross, stone slab for selling fish, whipping post, and stocks.
Here sitting in the stocks is the only photograph I have of my great grandfather James Danson (1852-1906), He is the bearded figure looking very merry and clearly enjoying life. By all accounts of his grandchildren, James was something of a ne'er do well with anecdotal comments that "Granny had a hard time with him".
Poulton War Memorial in the Square, with the names of two of my great uncles - John and George Danson remembered.
