The U.S. state of Arkansas got its name from a word that early French explorers used for the local Quapaw Indians and the river along which they settled. Arkansas's official nickname is the Natural State, which refers to the state's beautiful countryside of mountains, lakes, and streams. The capital is Little Rock.
- Arkansas - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
In pioneer days the U.S. state of Arkansas was known as the Bear State. Then the Native Americans who first farmed and hunted the land were driven westward, and the brown bears-along with the once-abundant bison, panthers, and wolves-began to disappear. In the mid-20th century, however, black bears were reintroduced into the Ozarks, and other wildlife, including some 300 native species of birds, turkeys, quail, deer, squirrels, bobcats, and feral hogs, are found in many parts of the state. Scenic attractions-the Ozark Mountains, hot mineral springs, limestone caverns, and the only active diamond mine in the country-have made the state a family vacationland.

Occupy north Jefferson. Is it that different than occupy Wall Street? We think that our town is different in the notion of challenges and problems, but from Wall Street to Main Street, we are really quite similar. Job creation, economic concerns, debt, local government and a desire for accountable leadership all hit a resonant cord for both communities.
Just as "All politics is local" so I have found that "All job creation is local." You can't open the paper or turn on the news and not find a discussion of the topic. So perhaps now is the time to put down the remote, fold up the paper and stop with the finger pointing. How about a good dose of "roll up your own sleeves and get busy" instead?
In Jim Clifton's article for the Gallup Management Journal this week, he writes that "fixing America's problems with job creation can only be accomplished one city at a time." Well, if that is the case, then let us begin with our own town or towns.
Here in the north Jefferson area, we already have strong leadership in place. We may not see eye to eye, and we certainly may disagree on many topics and decisions, but that does not make our leadership weak. Clifton continues to state that "A natural order is already present, in governments and local business and philanthropic entities. Every city has strong, caring leaders working on numerous committees and initiatives to fuel their local economic growth – let's call it the city GDP – and to create good jobs. The feat these leaders have to pull off is doubling their entrepreneurial energy by aligning all their local forces." That means we must stop looking at our neighboring cities as competitors, and start viewing them as allies.
In his words, "They succeed by declaring all-out war." A war on job loss, a war on low workplace energy, on healthcare costs, on low graduation rates, on brain drain and on community disengagement." Those things destroy cities, destroy job growth, and destroy city GDP. Every city requires its own master plan that is as serious as planning for war.
I would add that this master plan, or community development plan, will only be affective if the leaders communicate the plan to the people of the city. It is equally important as well to embrace the success of your neighbors and help them to participate in the growth war. For certain, the last thing that you need is for an excelling city to be surrounded by declining cities.
Clifton goes on to point out that we should remember what Washington, and government, is about really. "In defense of Washington, it wasn't originally set up to be the nation's economic engine. The U.S. government has seeded whole industries through land grant universities, defense contractors and scientific and medical researchers to name just a few. But the government has never, will never, nor should it be expected to ignite badly needed sustainable economic booms. These economic booms originate in the souls of individuals," he writes.
How do you know if your city is on the right track for improving debt reduction and increasing jobs creation? If your city leadership is looking for more legislation, more stimulus and more (tax) money to solve your city's problem, and then you probably need to look for new city leadership first. Stop what you are doing if it does not create real, meaningful jobs. Clifton writes, "Everybody in charge of anything needs to focus on job creation. If they divert their attention, vote them out. Be ruthless. If the bike path doesn't have anything to do with job creation, there is no bike path. If rezoning improves the jobs outlook, rezone. This is what leadership should work on everyday, and it should get city leaders up in the morning, what they should work on all day and what should keep them from getting to sleep at night."
As you move in to your week, think about how you work with your company, philanthropy or local government and if it is affectively working in tandem with surrounding communities. Every city needs a team of leaders that work well of course, but not in isolation. Your tow, I am certain, is just like mine with multiple boards, committees and leadership appointments. Take a close look. Are they a reshuffle of the same stagnant minds without change for too many years? Or are you bringing in new thought leaders that learn from the old, but embrace the change of the new? Are you marching to the beat of the same old drum, or are you encouraged to at least on occasion ask for someone to change the station and say no to the same old song?

New York Yankees icon Don Mattingly is entering his 14th season of Hall of Fame eligibility this year. As a lifetime Pinstriper whose jersey number is retired alongside inner-circle players like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio, it might be a surprise to some that Mattingly isn't in the Hall already. Donnie Baseball certainly seemed to be on a HOF trajectory early in his career, but back injuries plagued him as he exited his prime and forced him to hang up his cleats at just 34 years old.
The former first baseman received a solid 28.2 percent of the vote in his first year on the ballot back in 2001, but has never come close to duplicating that kind of support in the many years since. His vote total has ebbed and flowed in the teens over the last decade, dropping to 13.2 percent in 2013. Mattingly is in real danger this year of not getting even the five percent of votes he needs to stay on the BBWAA ballot for a 15th and final time.
Why he's a Hall of Famer
Mattingly was the face of the New York Yankees during the 1980s and was arguably the best all-around first baseman of his era. His nine Gold Glove awards are the most ever for an AL first baseman and second all-time to his crosstown rival Keith Hernandez. He retired a .307/.358/.471 hitter and was the seventh-most valuable player in baseball during his peak years (1984-1989). Four of the guys ahead of him on that list are in the Hall of Fame, and the two who aren't--Tim Raines and Alan Trammell--probably should be.
In Mattingly's first full season with the Yankees, 1984, he led the league in hits (207), doubles (44) and batting average (.343), and earned his first of six consecutive All-Star Game bids. He followed that year with an even more impressive sophomore campaign, mashing 35 home runs and plating 145 RBIs on his way to the 1985 AL Most Valuable Player award. He would have made it two MVPs in a row in 1986 but for Roger Clemens and his 24 wins. Mattingly had far and away his best season in 1986, posting career-bests across his slash line (.352/.394/.573) thanks to a league-leading 238 hits and 53 doubles.
Despite an off-field rift with George Steinbrenner and the emergence of back issues that would eventually cut his career short, Mattingly continued to put up impressive numbers on offense through the end of the decade, hitting .313/.360/.498 from 1987-1989.
Why writers won't vote for him
Mattingly didn't have the longevity necessary to make it into the Hall. Following the prime years, Donnie Baseball fell apart. He was able to reach the 1,000-run and -RBI plateaus before retiring, but he didn't come close to any of the other counting stats on offense that have become Hall standards for excellence. Of the nine first basemen elected to the Hall of Fame by the BBWAA since the dawn of the live-ball era (1920), Hank Greenberg's 331 home runs are the fewest. Mattingly finished his career with just 222.
More Hall of Fame
More Hall of Fame
The mustachioed lefty came out slugging in his early years at first base, averaging 27 home runs a year in his first six full seasons, but chronic back problems ate away at his power in the 90's. Mattingly reached double-digit home runs in just two of his final six seasons, topping out at 17 in 1993.
While his back woes are legend, Mattingly also had the worst timing of any player to spend his entire career in the Bronx. The longest World Series drought in franchise history is 14 years, which came between 1982-1995. Those years also happen to coincide exactly with Mattingly's playing career. Not only did the Yankees fail to make the Fall Classic during that time, the club also made just one playoff appearance overall, losing to the Seattle Mariners in the 1995 ALDS.
While fellow Yankees like Mike Mussina and Andy Pettitte have glowing postseason resumes to bolster their Hall of Fame candidacies, Mattingly has all of 25 plate appearances to his name. He hit an impressive .417/.440/.708 with a home run and four doubles in that series--no small feat for a guy about to step into retirement--but no one is going to make a meaningful HOF case off a sample so small. No one iss going to penalize Mattingly for his lack of postseason reps, he just doesn't get the bump that players like Jack Morris get.
It's sad to think that had he hung around as a bench player with the Yankees for one more season he would have taken home a World Series trophy. A championship probably would not have helped his HOF candidacy much, but it would have at least made for a better send-off.

ANDOVER — Colleen Ritzer was living her dream, everyone who knew her says.
Teaching math at Danvers High School, she was happy, energized and devoted to her students, they say.
"She was just an amazing person who loved life," said Jennifer Berger, who graduated with Ritzer from Andover High School in 2007. The two also went to Sanborn Elementary and West Middle School together.
Berger was with Ritzer Saturday night watching the Red Sox at Berger's home, just days before police say Ritzer, 24, of 5 Dascomb Road was slain by a 14-year-old Danvers High student.
"She was so kind and caring," Berger said. "She could find joy in the littlest things in life. If she was having a bad day she would find a quote from a song that would turn it around.
"I just want people to know how amazing she was ... she was my go-to best friend. I just can't believe she is gone," Berger said before bursting into tears.
Others recalled Ritzer as someone with a great personality who always made them smile.
Dan Yanofsky, who also graduated in the class of 2007, said he first met Ritzer in a TV production class taught by retired high school teacher Joe Spanos.
"Colleen was one of the sweetest and most caring people I've ever met," Yanofsky said. "I never saw her with anything but a smile on her face, and she had a positive attitude about everything. She cared more about her family and friends than anything else."
He said he couldn't believe what he was hearing when he heard the news yesterday.
"My first reaction was just how unfair it was for her to go this way," he said. "This shouldn't happen to anyone, but it feels even more cruel when I know just how kind and happy she was. When they said her name on the news I felt sick to my stomach."

Shedding light on shadows from our country's past
Volume 31, No. 613
February 6 - 12, 2012

MUCH has changed since President U Thein Sein took over the reins of government in Nay Pyi Taw in March 2011.
However, more visible changes are needed. There are some who clamour that the present administration is another military government in civilian attire, and that the Revolutionary Government, Burma Socialist Program Party Government, State Law and Order Restoration Council Government, State Peace and Development Council Government and the present government are all basically the same. I for one see things differently. It is true though that most members of the present government are former senior military officers and belong to the Union Solidarity and Development Party
In addition to all the changes we have seen to date, I think there are a few additional things that can be done to show all concerned here and overseas that there has been a complete break from the past, that this government operates differently from its predecessors and is focusing on national reconciliation.
1. The statues of Bogyoke Aung San in Kandawgyi Park and Resistance Park
The time has finally come for these areas to be improved and landscaped properly, with gardens, flowers water fountains and floodlights, as befitting the status of the national hero and founder of the modern Tatmadaw.
Resistance Park should at least be open during weekends and on all official holidays. Likewise the Martyrs' Mausoleum and Bogyoke Aung San Museum should be accessible to all, including regular visitors, students and tourists.
The president and hluttaws could also consider the posthumous promotion of General Aung San to Marshal, Generalissimo or a similar rank and name Nay Pyi Taw or Yangon airport Marshal Aung San International Airport.
We have some good examples in and out of the region like Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, John F Kennedy Airport, New York and Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. This would be a long overdue gesture.
2. The tombs of Thakin Kodaw Hmaing, Bogyoke Kadaw Daw Khin Kyi, Queen Supayalat and U Thant on Shwedagon Pagoda Road
These places should also be improved and landscaped to recognise the status and backgrounds of the four personalities in our long history.
Legendary Thakin Kodaw Hmaing, also known as Professor Maung Hmaing, was from the Dohbama Asiayone; Daw Khin Kyi, the widow of General Aung San, our only female ambassador and also referred to by many as the Mother of Burma; Queen Supayalat, the last Queen of Burma; and U Thant, who served two terms as United Nations Secretary General, from 1961 to 1971.
Appropriate signs in Myanmar and English with a brief history and explanation of each should be placed in all locations.
3. The statue of Sayadaw U Wisara, freedom fighter
Again, appropriate signage in Myanmar and English should be placed to honour this patriotic freedom fighter, who died in prison on September 19, 1929, on the 166th day of his fast. It would be good if the donor of the bronze statue, from Myaungmya, is also mentioned.
4. Panglong Agreement, union spirit and related matters
The historic Panglong agreement was signed 65 years ago by 22 signatories, including Bogyoke Aung San, on February 12, 1947. They include five Shan Sawbwas and the representative of one sawbwa, seven Shan representatives of the local populace, five Kachin representatives and three Chin representatives.
It would be most appropriate to create awareness of their role in this historic agreement and name roads, streets, markets and in the respective regions after all these personalities. Even the small town of Panglong should be promoted so that visitors can learn more about this place that was integral to the formation of independent Myanmar.

Isaac approaching Cuba, Tropical Storm Watch remains
KINGSTON, Jamaica - Tropical storm Isaac is approaching eastern Cuba and is likely to make landfall there this afternoon, the Meteorological Service says.
A Tropical Storm Watch remains in effect for Jamaica.
In its 5:00am bulletin the Met Service reported that rain bands associated with Isaac will affect the island today. Showers and thunderstorms could produce between three to six inches of rain across some parishes. Thunderstorm is forecast for most parishes
Isaac is moving towards the northwest near 22 km/h (14 mph) and a west-northwest to northwest motion is expected to continue for the next couple of days with some increase in forward speed. On the forecast track, the centre of Isaac will move near or over eastern Cuba tonight and approach the Florida Keys on Sunday.

March 7, 1960
John W. Clark
Biographical/Historical abstract:
John W. Clark served as a member of the University of North Carolina Board of Trustees in the 1950s and 1960s.
Additional contributor:
This copy of a letter from University of North Carolina Board of Trustees member John W. Clark to fellow member Mark C. Lassiter, dated March 7, 1960, discusses Clark's reaction to several issues of race relations, including the Greensboro and Winston-Salem sit-ins. Clark questions the motivation and backing of individuals working to end segregation and suggests that the people of North Carolina should be advised of who is "subsidizing" the movement. Clark also mentions that three students at Woman's College of the University of North Carolina (WCUNC, now The University of North Carolina at Greensboro) were involved in the sit-ins, all of them from "out of state." The "out of state" theme is continued throughout the letter.

Research Highlight
Professor E. H. Yang, director of the Nanoelectronics & Nanomechanics Lab, along with Dr. Ning Gao and Professor Hongjun Wang, are featured on nanoweb.org for their research involving the use of "antibody-functionalized nickel nanowires for magnetically separating mouse endothelial cells."
According to the article, the efforts of Professor Yangs' team have revealed that "the cell separation yield is closely related to the cell concentration and the nanowire/cell ratio. Reporting their results in the journal Nanotechnology, they have functionalized nickel nanowires using antibodies to compare the cell separation capabilities of the material with those of commercial magnetic beads."
Essentially this work demonstrates that antibody-functionalized nickel nanowires are a promising alternative to microbeads for efficient cell separation and provides valuable data for the application of antibody-functionalized nanowires. It also points towards "further bioapplications of nanowire-bound cells after separation."

We are delighted to let you know that we are now plotting and planning and generally getting ready for Rhône Wine Week 2014. As well as Tyrrell & Co. Ltd it is great to have on board James Nicholson Wine Merchant this year, and also Woodberry's Wines and more to come, so please watch this space.
Put the dates in your diary, 3rd – 8th November 2014 – the Rhône Rangers will be coming your way. If you are interested in finding out more then please get in touch via the contact form here and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
Rhône Wine Week – 25th to 30th November 2013 was the first of its kind, and 2014 is going to be even better. A whole week dedicated to the celebration of the wines of the Rhône Valley; tastings, offers and more than a wine-maker or two, at restaurants and good independent off licences around the country. Organised by Tyrrell & Co. (Wine Importers) Ltd with the help of Inter Rhônes.
Links between Ireland and wine go back a long way. A very long way. Turtle Bunbury writes
In 533AD, Muirchertach mac Erca, King of Ireland, was feasting with his nobles in the Summer Palace of Clettech by Newgrange when 'a vengeful woman' tiptoed into the night and set the premises on fire. The King threw himself into a nearby barrel of wine where he swiftly drowned. Thus goes one of the first known stories of Ireland's connection with the grapes of wrath. Enough Bronze Age goblets have emerged from the bogs to prove that wine has been a part of the Irish diet at least since Noah got so drunk on the stuff that he passed out in front of his kids. If you know your history, you'll know Noah's granddaughter Cessair was one of the first to settle in Ireland after the Great Flood. A brewer and an innkeeper were amongst her followers.
You can read Turtle's full piece here.
There are of course the famous Wine Geese, the Irish who fled to France to avoid persecution. From 1691 they left Ireland and went to wine producing regions such as Bordeaux and the Loire and gave us Lynch-Bages, Kirwan etc as well as Hennassy Cognac to name but a few.
We've also come across claims that St Patrick himself brought Syrah to the Rhône. Norman Mongan writes
Two former Rhone valley vineyards were named after the saint: Clos St Patrice at Tain-l'Hermitage, near Tournon, and Saint Patrice at Chateaneuf-du-Pape, near Avignon, both now closed since the '50s. Maurice Healy, writing in 1940 in his Stay Me with Flagons noted that the Clos St Patrice was 'producing a red wine that would almost convert Hitler to Christianity, great, rich, glowing red wine, with a mouthful of bouquet at every sip … I remembered the wonderful freshness and exuberance of that Hermitage, and I discerned a reason for the sudden and overpowering success of Saint Patrick in Ireland'. Local tradition says that the saint planted these vines in these regions on his way to convert Ireland.
You can read the full article here.
The closing of the St Patrice vineyards may be interesting for any rugby fans out there, did you know that in the 4 years leading up and including 1950 Ireland was doing better than France overall in the Five Nations championship. Having been disqualified in 1931 (let's not go into that now) France had been subsequently allowed back in 1939 but of course everything was put on hold during World War II. From 1947 to 1950 though the results speak for themselves. Could they have ripped up the St Patrice vineyards as a result? …could they? We do know some of the Rhône Valley's winemakers we work with take their rugby very seriously (Yann Chave we might be looking at you).
If then St Patrick brought Syrah to the Rhône (and we'd like to think he did) then for Rhône Wine Week we are in a way welcoming home many of our own. Syrah is one of the main grape varieties grown in the Rhône Valley; it is truly at home in this region.

They ranged in age from 11 to 84 and assembled outside the Rush County Chamber of Commerce to begin a special walk last week. More than 50 people joined together July 15 to help create a new vision for what Downtown Rushville could become through a "Dream Walk" sponsored by Partners for Progress.
Partners for Progress, a group of Rush County residents making an effort to maximize all the positives of our county and to address areas of concern as well, invited the community to join in a Dream Walk - and the community came along.
More than 480 suggestions were made by the participants who went on a walking tour of the downtown district, following a list of properties that are currently vacant or may be under-utilized in the community, said Jason Clemmons.
Partners for Progress asked residents to provide ideas or dreams of what a property could become and what was needed for a better future in Rushville. Addresses on the list were: 103 S. Main, 211 N. Main, 217 N. Main, 219 N. Main, 227 N. Main, 231 N. Main, 233 N. Main, 306 N. Main, 330 N. Main, 121 W. Second, 201 W. Second, 127 W. Third, 129 W. Third and another property on West Third Street, behind 305 N. Main Street.
Residents who were unable to attend the walk are encouraged to visit City Hall or the Rushville Republican website where you can view the properties. Resident's dream lists should be dropped off at City Hall, 133 W. First Street, Rushville, or the Rushville Republican offices at 126 S. Main Street.
In working with the Office of Community and Rural Affairs on community development grants, "when you look at the grant dollars that are out there, a lot of them are for downtown districts," Clemmons pointed out, highlighting one of the reason Partners wanted to begin accumulating ideas from the community about what they wanted to see in our future downtown.

Ryan Adams Tour
The rock/alt-country singer-songwriter Ryan Adams was born in Jacksonville, North Carolina on November 5, 1974. Ryan initially was a member of Whiskeytown but left to pursue his solo career. In 2000, Adams released Heartbreaker. Adams has been a New York City resident for a long time and is best known probably for the single "New York, New York" from Gold, his highly acclaimed second album. Since that time, Adams has released another five additional solo albums along with another five sets with The Cardinals, his backing band.
In addition, Adams has produced Willie Nelson and Jesse Malin albums and made contributions on the albums of different musicians, including Kirsta Polvere, Beth Orton, Toots & the Maytals, Leona Naess, Cowboy Junkies, Minnie Driver, America, Norah Jones and the Counting Crows. In 2002, Ryan Adams appeared with Elton John on CMT Crossroads.
Ryan Adams in 2006 left The Cardinals. He announced he was going on a hiatus from music that was indefinite. In 2010, Adams started to release albums that had been previously unreleased on PAX AM, his own record label. Adams is also the author of two books of poems and stores: "Hello Sunshine" and "Infinity Blues." Ryan Adams married actress and singer Mandy Moore in Savannah, Georgia in March 2009.

Casey has crazy hippie parents, which is awesome. He realizes what a big song he has chosen, but his version is ... hmmm. The verse is ... smoother than Cobain, but then the chorus is ... rougher. It's ... hard to explain. I pretty much liked it, but the kinds of people who vote for this show aren't going to. It's not that Casey's in trouble, but it's not really the target demo for voters. Tyler loves his "goop," J.Lo says he should watch the screamy/screetchy part and Randy talks about himself some more.

The UFC was originally founded by Rorion Gracie to showcase his family's jiu jitsu style. Rorion's younger brother Royce was the family's handpicked champion and he did not disappoint, winning the tournaments at UFC 1, 2, and 4 and compiling an overall UFC record of 11-1-1 in his initial run with his only loss coming by way of forfeit.
Ever since the UFC announced it would return to Rio de Janeiro in August of this year, speculation has been rife that the 45 year old Royce may return to the Octagon for the first time since his loss to Matt Hughes at UFC 60 in 2006.
Now MMA Junkie talks to Royce's manager and puts some meat on those rumor bones:
Three-time UFC tournament champion and UFC Hall of Famer Royce Gracie (14-3-3 MMA, 11-1-2 UFC) is in continuing negotiations with the promotion to appear in a retirement fight at the Brazilian event, which is expected to take place Aug. 27 at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
Mike Kogan, the U.S. representative for the Japan-based Fighting and Entertainment Group (FEG) and Gracie's longtime manager, today informed MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) of the news.
Although negotiations are far from over, Kogan said he and Gracie are talking directly with UFC president Dana White and UFC executive Lorenzo Fertitta about the prospect of bringing the 44-year-old MMA legend back into the octagon one last name against a specific - but undisclosed - opponent.
It would be fitting for the legendary Gracie to have his retirement bout in Rio in the promotion he did as much as any fighter to build. The opponent should be picked carefully, my first choice would be a rubber match against Gracie's rival Kazushi Sakuraba.

Title: Bioavailability of Particle-Associated Pesticides in Northern San Francisco Bay
Focus Categories: NPP, TS, AG
Keywords: agriculture, contaminant transport, herbicides, insecticides, invertebrates, pesticides, suspended sediments
Duration: 9/99 - 5/02
Federal Funds Request: $122,323
Non-Federal Matching Funds Pledged: $222,600
Principal Investigator: Dr.Donald Weston, University of California, Berkeley, CA
Co-Principal Investigator: Dr. Kathryn M. Kuivila, US Geological Survey, Sacramento, CA
There is clear evidence that pesticides from agricultural and municipal sources are entering the surface water of the San Francisco Bay watershed via runoff, and that their concentrations are sufficiently high that sensitive aquatic species may be at risk. The vast majority of work to date has been on dissolved phase pesticides, but USGS scientists have recent data indicating that many insecticides and herbicides with relatively low Km values (log Km of 2-3) are present on suspended particles at concentrations well above those predicted by equilibrium partitioning theory. Our objectives are to determine how rapidly sediment-associated pesticides can be desorbed in an aqueous environment, how this desorption may be affected by salinity or dissolved organic matter concentration, if they can be rapidly desorbed in the more chemically rigorous environment of a deposit-feeder's gut, and finally if they are in sufficient concentration to cause toxicity in sensitive species. Suspended sediment and recently deposited bottom sediment will be collected on at least six occasions from the Sacramento, San Joaquin, and Napa Rivers near their point of discharge into northern San Francisco Bay. The sediments will be analyzed for a wide range of pesticides including organochlorine insecticides, organophosphate insecticides, and many herbicides. Aqueous desorption experiments will be done to establish rate and extent of pesticide desorption from these sediments as an indication of potential bioavailability. Salinity and dissolved organic matter content of the water will be manipulated to examine the influence of these variables. Filter and deposit-feeding organisms ingest pesticide-contaminated particles, and in this case the relevant extractant is not water but digestive fluid. In vitro digestive fluid extraction, a novel approach to measuring contaminent bioavailability, will be used to determine the rate and extent of pesticide desorption that may be expected within the digestive tract, and thus place a upper limit on the bioavailable pesticide fraction. Finally, we will evaluate the potential for particle-associated pesticides to cause toxicity to aquatic life, either through ingestion of the particle or indirectly following aqueous desorption. Toxicity tests will be done with the cladoceran Ceriodaphni dubia. the algae Selanastrum capricornutum, and the amphipod Corophium spinicorne. The results of this research will be of particular value to environmental management agencies, and help to determine whether measurement of dissolved pesticides only, as is typically done now in the San Francisco Bay and tributary rivers, is adequate, or if protection of aquatic life must also consider the bioavailability and potential toxicity of the particle-associated fraction.

Zydeco Pancake Breakfast Planned For October 12th
The 13th Annual Zydeco Pancake Breakfast is scheduled for Saturday, October 12th from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. in Acadian Village.
The 13th Annual Zydeco Pancake Breakfast is scheduled for Saturday, October 12th from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. in Acadian Village.
The 4th annual Zydeco Bash will be held Saturday July 27th at La Louisiane Banquet Hall, 5509 Hwy 14 in New Iberia. Music by Wayne Toups and Chubby Carrier!
Grammy Award winner Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band kick-off the 2013 Sugar Jam concert series at Sugar Mill Pond tonight. Activities roll from 6pm-9pm.
The Grammy awards are supposed to be about music, all music. I think they have become more about a seriously dull television show over the past few years. The announcement that Cajun/Zydeco and several other regional and real American music genres would no longer be recognized by the alleged music industry makes me very angry and hurts my soul. It was bad enough the Grammys didn't see fit to share winners in the Cajun/Zydeco category with a national TV audience before but to now basically say we don't want your kind at our party, for shame. Our friends at KATC visited with some of our local Grammy winners and got their take on the whole story.
Congrats to Chubby Carrier and his Bayou Swamp Band, winners of this year's Best Zydeco or Cajun Music Album at the Grammy Awards! His latest effort is entitled "Zydeco Junkie" and it features special guests Jamie Bergeron and Geno Delafose.

Gas prices in the Greenville area dipped 1.8 cents in the past week, according to GasBuddy.com.
The price-tracking website reported the average cost for a gallon of gas in Greenville was at $3.10 - 16 cents lower than the national average.
Locally, the price was 14.7 cents higher than last month, but 7.1 cents lower than last year. Nationally, the price was 1.9 cents more than last month, but 8.9 cents less than last year.
"The national average now lags prices one year ago by 9 cents per gallon, which is a more optimistic start to the year than I would have expected," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan.
AAA reported the average cost of a gallon of gas was at $3.18 in South Carolina, $3.36 in North Carolina and $3.30 in Georgia.
Hawaii had the nation's highest gas prices, while Wyoming had the nation's lowest, according to GasBuddy.com.

CRON or automated task to execute scripts
I have a number of PHP scripts that I wrote that I use to compile information across the web. I have an unique script for each page that I attempt to get information from, however, since I am trying to execute numerous scripts in a single cron task, it looks like the script is erroring out (and not telling me why).
This is my current script that I have running every night:
Code PHP:
$file = @file_get_contents('http://site.mine.com/pages/param1'); $file = @file_get_contents('http://site.mine.com/pages/param2'); $file = @file_get_contents('http://site.mine.com/pages/param3');
Each of the three scripts are also executable by just visiting through a browser, but they typically take too long to execute or error 500 out.
What is the correct way to mimic viewing a page through an automated task?

Since you do this in a cron job I'd go for curl or wget. No need to fire up PHP for this.
multiple runs are run independently of each other so if one of them crashes all the others still go through.

The Children's School to show 'Race to Nowhere'
The Children's School will host a screening of "Race to Nowhere," a documentary about the pressures on today's students in an achievement-obsessed culture at 7 p.m. on March 10.
Here's what the film's website says: "Featuring the heartbreaking stories of young people across the country who have been pushed to the brink, educators who are burned out and worried that students aren't developing the skills they need, and parents who are trying to do what's best for their kids, the film points to the silent epidemic in our schools: cheating has become commonplace, students have become disengaged, stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant, and young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired."
Tickets to the The Children's School screening are available on the "Race to Nowhere" tickets website rtnchildrensschool.eventbrite.com/.
Pre-sale tickets will be available for $10 and tickets will be $15 at the door if any are available. There are a limited number of seats available, so purchase your tickets as soon as possible.

REVIEW: The look, styles, dialogue and attitudes all
feel more 21st century than 1968, but this new "Sparkle" still sparkles
more brightly than its 1976 namesake, which was a sort of rough draft
for Dreamgirls. Like its predecessor both melodramatic and predictable
in illustrating the rough-and-tumble rise of a girl group in the black
music scene, this new version pops with energy and adds welcome new
angles to the plot and characters.
And there is also a vibrant
Whitney Houston, both as executive producer and in an important role,
in no way looking like she wouldn't survive until the film's release.
The Sony/TriStar musical drama looks to deliver modest-to-decent
returns in late summer release, with a good home-viewing career in
store. click here to read more

The San Francisco 49ers head into Seattle facing a noisy crowd that will make their lives just a little bit difficult. Whatever you think of Seahawks fans, they can be fairly loud, and the weather protecting design of the stadium only boosts the sound level.
49ers offensive tackle Joe Staley conducted a conference call with national media earlier today, and we've got a transcript below. Staley was asked about the noise, and he briefly discussed the fact that the team works on silent counts and non-verbal communication throughout the season.
The 49ers head into this game with no false starts through their first two playoff games. They do have a pair of delay of game penalties, so that is going to be something to watch. And it will be particularly interesting to see how Colin Kaepernick is communicating with his center and the rest of the line once the huddle breaks.
Alex Boone had his weekly segment on KNBR, and he had a chance to discuss his job with Jonathan Goodwin and Colin Kaepernick. at the 3:05 mark of the interview, Boone talks about his work as the cadence guy and general middle man. When Colin wants to say something to Goodwin and the line, he'll apparently tell Boone, who tells Goodwin. I imagine it's because it's hard for the center to turn directly behind himself while holding the ball, while Boone is off-center and doesn't have to worry about holding the ball.
Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers offensive line will have their work cut out for them. If they can take an early lead and suffocate the Seahawks offense, it might quiet down the crowd. However, the early going will be tough for them, and could very well make or break this game.
I have a general question about how the 49ers are as a franchise, not so much like details on the field. But, it seems to be a really smart bunch of people running the team, right down to head coach Jim Harbaugh, and you have seen a lot of great results on the field. For you as a lineman, and just a player on the team, how much of a difference does that make for you and do you really palpably feel that it seems to be, again, a really well-run team?
"Yeah, it for sure is. We all pride ourselves on knowing the offense inside and out, and we work very hard every day. Everybody just sees what we do on Sundays, but we are here 60, 70 hours a week, sometimes more, taking the work home making sure we know everything inside out. It has been that way ever since Harbaugh got here and it will continue to be that way."
In terms of specific guys, like CEO Jed York or the President Gideon Yu, is that in your mind as a player or is it like you mentioned, like everybody has memorized the offense? Is that the focus or do you have a feeling that the guys running the team are, I guess, a good CEO?
"Yeah, we feel confident that our ownership is doing a great job. Our job is not to worry about what they are doing. Our job is to win games, and that is where our focus is. I never think about what they are doing. We just always have trust that whatever we do is in the best interest of the team, and go from there."
In terms of, obviously the Seattle defense is one of the best in the league, just like you guys have. Is there any particular preparation that you take beyond the fact that you prepare for Seattle? Does Seattle present anything unusual for you as an O-lineman, beyond the fact that, obviously, it is a pretty good defense?
"Yeah, just a very talented front. We have seen them every single year, twice a year. We have played up there every single year, so we know what to expect. We are not going in with our eyes closed or anything. So we know what to expect. But they are a good defense, play well within the scheme and what they are trying to do, and their gap control and all that."
And then everybody makes such a big deal about the crowd noise, and you are obviously quite familiar with it. Is that something of an advantage that you guys are ready? You have prepared for this crowd noise because you have been here. Is crowd noise going to be a factor?
"Crowd noise is always a factor when you play them but we have played there before. We understand that. We understand the noise level and how to communicate non-verbally. It is something that also we have practiced throughout the whole entire season. We are very familiar with going silent count, is what we call it, on the road. That is something that we have not just practiced for one week, but we have practiced for the last three years."

When I applied for widows benefits a year ago, I was told...
I'm afraid Social Security is right -- you have to be 65 to be eligible for any of Medicare's programs (unless you are disabled and have been receiving Social Security Disability benefits for at least 24 months, in which case you'd be automatically enrolled). You should plan on considering which parts of Medicare to enroll in and begin filling out the paperwork three months before your 65th birthday.
There are some loopholes in Social Security that really stink. My husband was on SSDI for 3 years, and passed away recently. When I got the letter from Social Security, I answered all their questions, then was informed that I would not receive a survivor's pension until I was at least 60, I am 51. And there's no guarantee that I'll receive a survivor's pension at 60, I have to call back to see if I qualify. That's my thanks for being a 24/7 caregiver with a full time job.
God will provide.
seek an attorney for advice.

The Georgia Fire Commissioner's Office says two people dead in an early morning Georgetown fire.
Around 5:00 Friday morning, firefighters were called to the home at 16 Thomas Road in Georgetown. Killed in the fire were Johnny Gibbs, 51, and Carletha Peterson, 62.
In a little over a week, five south Georgia house fires have claimed 8 lives. But even fires in which no one is seriously hurt or killed, firefighters see a common trend.
"38 % of house fires there is no working smoke detector," said Albany Assistant Fire Chief Sebon Burns. He says with the amount of fire education it's a shocking statistic. With no warning, most people who die in house fires likely had no idea there was home was a blaze.
"Most people who go to sleep, like I do, go into a deep sleep. What that smoke does, it puts you in a deeper sleep."
But even in a home with a working smoke detector, people can still fall victim without a proper escape plan. "Most people stand straight up in a panic mode. What we teach people to do is roll out of bed, crawl below the smoke, have two exit points and a safety meeting place for your family."
While many fatal fires are caused by improper heating sources, others are sparked by unattended cooking. But there is now a tool on the market that can be placed above your stove to extinguish flames. It's called 'firestop' and its proven to save property and lives.
Still a safety plan and a working smoke detector will ultimately cut down on fire deaths and injuries. "It's still amazing that people die by not having on a seat belt. Well as a firefighter, it's a amazing to have a home without a working smoke detector in that house,"Sebon said.
Fire Commissioner Ralph Hudgens reminds Georgians to make sure they have working smoke alarms on each level of their home. "With this tragedy in Georgetown, we've had 22 fire deaths so far this
year," Hudgens said. "I urge Georgian to use extreme caution while
cooking and heating their homes."
Fire deaths typically rise as the weather gets colder. Last week, five people died in house fires in Donalsonville, Nashville, and Albany. The small city of Georgetown experienced a similar tragedy last November when two children were killed in a house fire.

Hey guys,
I want to use a PathView in my application and my target is to mimic Timescape UI of Sony (Ericsson) devices.
If you do not know it:
Now I ran in the following problem: The PathView element starts again with first element of the model if you reach the end. Is there any way to stop it, like a ListView will do? Cause I don't really want to animate a ListView to mimic this effect.
Thanks in advance.

Picos de Europa
Beautiful and spectacular limestone mountain area on the north coast of Spain. Has a distinctly Celtic feel to it, architecturally, and culturally. The compact but spectacular mountain range of Picos de Europa lies in Asturias, and contains some wonderfully scenic hikes, and spectacular climbs.
Getting There
From the US to Barcelona, then rent a car. I've only driven from Madrid because that's where I work some of the year, it's a fairly long drive, but the roads are fast and smooth.

In the Blue division, Lansing Everett, who ran the league last season, found itself running into the end of the season if the Vikings did not win over Jackson.
The Vikings took the lead in the first quarter on a 1-yard quarterback keeper by Senior Lucas Barner, to make it 7-0 Vikings.
Jackson scored a touchdown and 2-point conversion to go up 8-7.
Then, Lucas Barner went to the air. The 4-year starter aired out a beautiful pass to junior Leondre' Terry, as the defender had nothing on him. And he went in for six.
It got wild before it finished. Everett won 43-36, and the Vikings are in the playoffs.

So here's something I came up while putzing around the blog some... Someone mentioned that it'd be odd for Schwartz to be talking big about players that we might draft at the Senior Bowl, that it's kind of out of his normal M.O..
This got me thinking; that is a pretty valid point, and assuming they are trying to create a contingency if St. Louis takes Suh, maybe they're just trying to get into a position to trade down..? For some reason I get this gut feeling that someone is going to get desperate for some sort of top talent after StL signs their pick to his pre-emptive contract.
Just a thought aside from (insert post about FA and draftees I want currently). Anyone got any wild speculation about who might be interested, or what we might get? I really could see us trading down some and picking up Lupati with our 1st rounder... Schwartz seemed pretty enamored with him.

I find it hilarious how some people on this board think that despite the fact that Travis Outlaw and Johan Petro have trade value beyond negative, some team will think they are great and trade us great players for them. I have seen Outlaw and Petro for Josh Smith, Chris Kaman, Danny Granger, or as part of a deal for Dwight Howard. I saw Petro and Stephen mf*%!ing Graham for Michael Beasley!
No disrespect to this great, great basketball community, but we need to get realistic with our trade proposals. No one is going to trade us good players for garbage. No one will take Outlaw without significant compensation. I'm sorry if this comes off as harsh, but we need to come back to reality.

This is a true pub the games room was even a brew house once with chatty regulars at the bar, lively, welcoming licensees and traditional décor. The atmosphere is easy-going, and as well as bar chairs against the counter, there are just a few more seats in this small low-beamed room, including a table in a snug, low-ceilinged alcove. Black Sheep, Copper Kettle Cornucopia (brewed just a mile away), Greene King IPA, Hopping Mad Brainstorm, Phipps Red Star on handpump, several wines by the glass and local farm cider from Evershed' s. The cottagey dining area has more low beams (one way through is potentially a real head-cracker) and a central fireplace - and, like the rest of the pub, broad floorboards, shelves of china, and original artwork (for sale). In the evenings and at weekends, the roomy mansard-ceilinged public area comes to life, with hood skittles, darts, games machine, shove-ha' penny, TV and board games; it has a big inglenook fireplace, and opens on to a neat garden where they have a new pétanque court.

The Cardinals have named Mike Miller as their new offensive coordinator, promoting him from passing-game coordinator, a job he held the past two seasons.
Cardinals add defensive backs coach
The Cardinals have brought in Louie Cioffi as their new defensive backs coach.

Horton hired as Cardinals defensive coordinator
The Cardinals have announced former Steelers secondary coach Ray Horton as their new defensive coordinator.
Report: Horton top candidate for Cardinals' DC position
The Cardinals used the Tuesday after Super Bowl XLV to get permission to interview Steelers and Packers assistants to fill their vacant defensive coordinator position, and Steelers secondary coach Ray Horton appears to be their man.
Peterson has tied the NFL record by returning his fourth punt for a touchdown in Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams. The rookie returned a punt 80 yards in the third quarter to put the Cardinals ahead 20-10. He was untouched as he raced up the middle of the field in becoming the fourth player with four punt returns in a season.||||||| The others to share the record are Devin Hester (2007), Rick Upchurch (1978) and Jack Christiansen (1951). Christiansen was a rookie when he first set the record.

Peterson may be a starter for the Cardinals.||||||| Greg Toler, injured in Saturday night's preseason loss to San Diego, was placed on injured reserve on Monday. The move could mean a starting assignment for first-round draft pick Peterson.
The Arizona Cardinals have reached a contract agreement with Peterson.||||||| The cornerback from LSU, the fifth player drafted overall, could be at training camp in time for Sunday's practice. Coach Ken Whisenhunt confirmed the five-year deal when he met with reporters after the team's first training camp practice on Saturday.
The Arizona Cardinals passed on a quarterback. Instead, the team used the fifth overall pick in Thursday's draft to select Patrick Peterson, a confident, highly regarded cornerback from LSU who says he expects to immediately assume the starting cornerback spot alongside Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.||||||| Peterson, in a teleconference, described himself as a "fierce, competitive, confident young man" who brings kick- and punt-returning talents along with his ability to cover receivers and tackle. He has been timed in 4.31 seconds over 40 yards.

On Saturday, January 26, nearly 400 orchestra students from area middle and high schools will take to the stage of the newly-reopened Paramount Theatre for the annual Metro Orchestra Festival. Middle school students from the Cedar Rapids, Linn-Mar, and Mount Vernon school districts will present a concert at 6:15 p.m. A concert of high school musicians will follow at 8:15 p.m. The orchestras will work with local area directors, as well as two guest conductors – Dr. Jacob Harrison, Director of Orchestral Activity at Iowa State University and Mr. Jerry Henry, former area orchestra director and past president of the Iowa String Teacher Association. The student ensembles will perform a wide array of musical styles, from classical standards to classic rock.
The festival was held at the Paramount for nearly 25 years until the Flood of 2008 forced its temporary relocation to Linn-Mar High School. With the theatre now reopened, event organizers are thrilled to return to the original venue.
"It is such a privilege for these young musicians to be able to experience rehearsing and performing in such an exquisite venue," noted Kelly Vieth, Excelsior Middle School Director. "We are all grateful to have this historic theater as part of the Cedar Rapids community again!"
Tickets may be pre-ordered online at www.paramounttheatrecr.com or by calling 800-369-8863. Tickets are $6 for students, $8 for adults, and $25 for families.

Tuesday, Jan. 8 marked the day in which UC-Beckley became official.
It started with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11 a.m. and ended with an open house.
UC-Beckley President Dr. Ed Welch said a lot of hard work has gone into this transition of schools, and is finally about to pay off.
"It involves having a vision about what might be able to be possible in Beckley for the University of Charleston and for the students of Mountain State University," said Dr. Welch. "And it involves faith and commitment that, yes it can really happen."
Dr. Welch said the events are the culmination of all the hard work. He said it's only the beginning, not just for new students of UC-Beckley, but for former students of Mountain State University as well.
"Students who had been students at MSU can meet with advisors and work on transition of courses and learn what they need to do and we are very anxious to talk to community members."
Regional President Jerry Forster said there's a lot of excitement and buzz about the changes.
He explained the numbers of students and how many they would like to eventually have.
"We're happy that we may have 400 or 500 students already talking about the courses here in Beckley and online, so it's a good start. But we certainly want to build those numbers quite a bit in the fall and next year." said Forster.
The University will begin spring semester classes online classes Jan. 14, and residential courses begin Jan. 21.
