Compost islands proposed for New York
As with every major city, New York creates a huge amount of waste. Disposing of it requires a variety of environmentally damaging processes, such as landfill and transportation. To try and minimize the impact of waste disposal, Present Architecture has proposed a series of composting islands along the city's waterfront. Read More
Festivals can be great fun, but aren't always so friendly to the local environment. Gathering that many people in one place tends to produce a large amount of waste, but it's the human waste that can be the hardest to dispose of cleanly. That's why French design group Faltazi has produced L'Uritonnoir, a portable, composting urinal for large festivals that helps to turn a bale of hay into usable fertilizer. Read More
Portable pulverizer gives food waste the thrashing of a lifetime
Businesses such as restaurants, grocery stores and farms are known for generating a lot of food waste. Not only can that waste take up space and attract vermin in landfills, but it can also be costly for those businesses to dispose of. That's why Nevada-based Bokashicycle introduced a new product this week, the Bokashicycle Food Waste Pulverizer. The machine "shreds, rips, bruises and pulverizes" food waste, allowing more of it to fit within a receptacle, and preparing it for easy composting. Read More
Whatever you call it - lavatory, privy, latrine, crapper, loo or dunny - most of us take the humble toilet for granted. But in many parts of the world the absence of sanitary waste disposal is not just inconvenient, it can cause deadly diseases such as hepatitis, dysentery, trachoma, typhoid and cholera. Enter Marc Deshusses, a Duke University environmental engineer who has envisioned an innovative yet simple waste disposal system designed specifically for Third World countries that can be constructed from everyday items. Now, as part of a broad ranging project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Deshusses has received $100,000 to perfect and test the system in the laboratory before producing a prototype to field-test in 18 months time.

As part of a project aimed at getting people to accept and embrace their own mortality, visual artist Jae Rhim Lee is training mushrooms to decompose human tissue. This doesn't involve cruelly prodding unruly shrooms with electric goads or whipping them into submission, but rather introducing common fungi to the artist's own skin, hair, nail clippings and other body tissue so that they start to digest it. A prototype body suit has been created that's embroidered with spore-infused netting. This would be used in conjunction with a special spore slurry embalming cocktail to break down the body's organic matter and clean out the accumulated toxins, producing a nutrient-rich compost.

Miami Swim 2012 Fashion Week has premiered what may well be the world's very first compostable swimsuits. The two earthy swimsuit creations took center stage during the HauteNatured fashion parade on July 15th and whilst they may be compostable, they'll also do their job in the water, assures sustainable clothing designer, Linda Loudermilk. Read More
A number of cities around the world now sort their municipal trash, diverting organic matter into giant anaerobic composters that turn it into nutrient-rich soil. Such systems can be very expensive, however, and have a large physical footprint. The composting process can take as little as 14 days, or as long as one year. Nevada-based company Ecologico-Logic, however, has created an alternative system, called The Muncher. Not only is it relatively small, but its makers claim that it can convert organic waste into mulched and liquid compost in less than an hour. Read More
Compostable sneakers make a dirty fashion statement
People may joke about their dirty old sneakers turning into science projects or mini ecosystems, but once OAT Shoes' compostable sneakers become commercially available within the next several weeks ... let's just say, those same people may no longer be joking when they make those kind of statements. Made using hemp, cork, bio-cotton, certified biodegradable plastics, chlorine-free bleach and other nontoxic materials, the shoes are designed to completely break down when buried in the ground – the first batch will even come with seeds in their tongues, so that wildflowers will sprout up in commemoration of users' planted, expired kicks.

Space-saving chicken coop includes rooftop veggie patch
Having chickens and vegetables in your backyard is great for self-sustainability, but what if I want both in a small space? Seattle-based architect turned-self-starter Traci Fontyn has the solution in the form of the Kippen House; a modular chicken coop with a rooftop vegetable garden that creates a looped ecosystem to benefit both your home-grown veggies and eggs. Read More
Mushrooms – the new Styrofoam alternative?
In an age where many oil fields are in terminal decline and our dependence on petroleum reaches critical proportions, it is simply crazy that with every Styrofoam-packaged item consumers purchase, one cubed foot of Styrofoam representing 1.5 liters of petrol is thrown away. Moreover, in the U.S., Styrofoam is said to take up 25 percent of the space in landfills. A much better-sounding alternative is to use naturally-produced EcoCradle. It's created from useless agricultural by-products and mushroom roots, has all the same properties as other expandable polystyrenes (EPS), and is fully compostable. Read More

Welcome to the bye week Panthers fans. This is the Panthers best, perhaps last chance to hit the reset button on this season, not just put fresh lipstick on this pig by standing pat, and hope for the best.
So far this season, the Panthers have been on a crazy rollercoaster ride of highs and lows, with the offense only showing up every other game. The defense started out worse than last years, but has shown some reasons for hope in the last 2 games. In week 4, against the Falcons, the defense exploded for 7 sacks, half of this years total sacks for the first 5 games. In the 5th week, against the Seahawks, the pass rush came back to earth, with their usual 2 sacks, but allowed their fewest rushing yards of the season. What to do?
The Panthers To Do List:
1. Staff Meeting - Geather the whole coaching staff, Hurney, and JR togeather, to review the season so far, and plot the Panthers direction for the rest of this season. With JR first giving his view of how the season has gone so far, and what he expects for the rest of this season. JR then ask the coaching staff what they feel has gone right, and what has gone wrong so far this season, along with how they plan to fix the problem areas. JR then ask the coaching staff what they might need in the way of new players, telling Hurney to do all he can to get them for him, and asking him to explaine any trade offers the Panthers might have received, getting the coaching staff's imput. Then start forward, certain that everyone is on the same page.
2. Coaching Staff Working Session - A brainstorming session, to decide upon any new ideas to help salvage this season (they have probably alread had such a meeting, before step 1). Here are some suggestions, ditch the read option ((it's slowing everything down in the bacfield on running plays, and ruining the timing of blockers and RB's), fewer called running plays for Cam, rotate the backup WR's in more often (keeping Smitty and LaFell fresh, while developing young talent), fix the O-Line (they need a bigger more powerful run blocker at RG than Hangartner, so move Bell to RG, and start Bruce Campbell at RT, if it doesn't work, then swithch them back after a couple of games), decide if Kuechly stays at MLB, and if Martin should start at FS. Then get to work, and make it happen.
3. Checkout Trade Options - Are any teams interested in trading for FS Sherrod Martin (he's a FA at the end of this season), OT/OG Garry Williams (benched at OG in the 1st half of the last game), RG/C Geoff Hangartner (30 years old, and his salary jumps from $825,000 to $1.525 million next year), LT Jordan Gross (either he's slipped, or covering for rookie LG Silatolu is causing him problems, he has 3 more years under contract, with his salary increasing $2 million, to around $8.5 million for the next 2 years), QB Jimmy Clausen, WR Joe Adams (they aren't using him) or AE to create roster room for WR David Gettis, maybe even OLB James Anderson (he's 29, and his salary goes up each of the next 2 years), D-Will, and J-Stew as well. I'm not saying absolutely trade these players, just see what you could get for them (except for Gross probably only a very late round pick), and see if you get a good offer (Bears need a LT, Chiefs need a C, Cowboys need C and OG, Cardinals need everything on their O-Line, etc.). Here are some possible trade targets, Texans #76 pick OG Brandon Brooks (6-5, 346, 4.98-40, 36 bench reps) who's been on their inactive list all season, Jaguars 2nd year backup S Chris Prosinski (6-0 1/8, 201, 4.39-40, 39 1/2 inch vertical, 11-2 broad jump), Bears #79 pick S/CB Brandon Hardin (6-2 5/8, 219, 4.38-40, 6.60-3 cone drill, and a 4.03-20 yard shuttle) who's on IR (neck injury, but he's OK now), Miami #78 pick TE Michael Egnew (6-5 1/8, 252, 4.62-40) who's been inactive because they saw he can't learn the playbook, and Cowboys #186 pick TE James Hanna (6-3 3/4, 252, 4.49-40) who can probably also play FB (a much more gifted Brockel).
4. Possible Free Agent or Practice Squad Signing Targets - Checking the FA list at Roto-World shows no real talent, except for the old aged and over priced, or a couple of QB's (Josh Johnson, Dennis Dixon, etc.). That only leaves players on other teams Practice Squads, and they can only be signed to 53 man rosters, not other Practice Squads, so here are a few I like.
OLB Sammy Brown (6-1 7/8, 242, 4.63-40), who's on the Rams Practice squad. He had 21 sacks, 50 TFL's, and 173 tackles, in his 2 years at Houston, with 13.5 sacks, 30 TFL's, and 93 tackles as a senior in 2011. Panthers OLB James Anderson is 29 years old with his salary increasing each of the next years, and OLB's like Brown, who can both pass cover and pass rush are like gold. Here's what Russ Lande (NationalFootballPost.com Scouting Department)thinks of Brown:
"Brown is definitely capable of starting in the NFL and that is why he is an excellent developmental prospect. Excelling in pass coverage has become paramount for a linebacker to shine in the NFL and this is where Brown is the strongest. Smooth and fluid in his pass drops, he can flip his hips to change directions easily and can cover backs and tight ends in man coverage without issue. Remarkably, for a player who racked up 13.5 sacks as a senior, Brown lacks explosiveness off the ball and a variety of pass rush moves. Naturally strong, Brown can anchor, shed and make plays when he competes hard and fights to make plays." - Russ Lande
OT/OG Nick Mondek (6-5 3/4, 304, 33 3/8 inch arms, 4.84-40, 1.59-10, 30 bench reps), who's currently on the Raiders Practice Squad, after being the #195 pick of the Texans this year. He played LT at Purdue, is exsreamly fast, and might even be a better pulling OG in the NFL than a OT. He would be a good replacement for either Hangartner, or Garry Williams, and probably save a draft pick next year.
S/CB Nieko Thorpe (6-1 1/4, 198, 4.39-40, 38 inch vertical, 11-5 broad jump, and a 4.01-20 yard shuttle) was a UDFA from Auburn, who was on the Chiefs Practice Squad (where he may return) until this past week when he was brought up to the 53 man roster, but cut today. He's on a rookie minimum contract, so claim him off waivers, and sent S D. J. Campbell to the Practice Squad (he's inactive on game days anyway).
The Practice Squads have other interesting players, but they aren't yet ready for a 53 man roster. Here are a few who might be good additions to the Practice Squad if they were to be cut by their present teams, Raiders PS CB Chimdi Chekwa (5-11 3/4, 191, 4.33-40, 1.47-10), Raiders 3rd year PS S/CB Akwasi Owusu-Ansah (6-0 1/4, 207, 4.30-40), Bills S Mana Silva (6-0 3/4, 206, 4.41-40, 40 inch vertical), and Cardinals PS OT Steven Baker (6-7 7/8, 312, 4.87-40) from East Carolina.
5. Work the players tails off until the next game

Many people remember where they were when big moments in history occurred. I certainly do, but I also remember watching the news coverage of those events and watching how journalists handle ever-evolving information and the confirmation of facts. As a middle school student with family members in the aviation business, I remember being fixated on the coverage of September 11th. In college, I remember where I was when the Chilean miners were rescued and Osama bin Laden was killed.
Aside from large national stories, I believe it's the personal voices that matter most. Seemingly small stories about everyday life can have a big impact in a community, and I got into this business to tell those stories. No matter how small, I believe the news has the power to help people share their stories in meaningful ways.
I studied print journalism at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. During my time there, I learned while working in magazines, newspapers and network television internships. After graduating in 2011, I interned for three months as a copy editor for the Chinese Internet Information Center in Beijing, China. Working under the Chinese system of journalism gave me a greater appreciation for the freedoms we enjoy, and the ability to tell fair and balanced stories.
My career as a print journalist in Charleston, South Carolina. While there, I covered business news in the areas of real estate, banking, tourism, healthcare and government. I believe there is no such thing as a bad story idea and I would love to hear anything pitches you've got.
When I'm not tracking down a story, I enjoy being outdoors. Hiking, kayaking, swinging in a hammock and taking photos are just a few of my favorite activities. Exploring the city's culinary treats is also something I enjoy, but those ventures typically earn me more jogs around the neighborhood. One of my favorite activities is SCUBA diving, and I can't spend enough time exploring the ocean.
I'd love to get to know you and find the best way to serve you, the community.
When I'm not tracking down sources or searching for stories to tell, I enjoy being active, listening to live local music and SCUBA diving.
I'm a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Congrats to DeAngelo Williams and Julius Peppers, the later being named a starter for the game. Here's the full list of who made it.
Don't know when the list of alternates will be released (I imagine it will be real soon), but Jon Beason better be on it. The man has been the heart and soul of a defense that has dealt with injuries all season long and has put up some incredible numbers as well. I'd personally rather see him starting instead of Jonathan Vilma. You could make the argument for Steve Smith as well, though he wouldn't even play in the Pro Bowl if he made it thanks to that broken arm. What do you guys think?

Today I've put together a playlist for the first Five episodes of The Ultimate Fighter: Smashes season. Episodes 1-4 have already aired, episode 5 is newly released on YouTube by the UFC.
Subscribe to MMA Nation on YouTube and get all of my playlists as soon as they're compiled.
Some of you may have never heard of some of the fighters listed below but let it be known there are some good British talent on this season. i can't say much for the Australia team since i really don't know much about their scene. Keep an eye out on Colin Fletcher. He not only has the talent to make it to the UFC but also has a very entertaining personalty.

A software reliability allocation model is developed. This model determines how reliable software modules and programs must be in order to maximize the user's utility, while taking into account the financial and technical constraints of the system. The model is shown to provide a unified approach in which the user's requirements and preferences are formally integrated with the technical structure of the software and its module and program reliabilities. The model determines reliability goals at the planning and design stages of the software project, making reliability a singular measure for performance evaluation and project control. An example for the application of the model is provided.

Managing Your Government Records: Guidelines for Archives and Agencies
Managing and preserving government records are important and essential work. Not only are such records used for conducting the important business of government, but they also provide invaluable witness to our rich heritage. These guidelines are provided by the Minnesota State Archives as a trusted resource that can assist you in your archives-related work.
Who can benefit from the guidelines and why?
If you are a state or local government official or entity, or a county or local historical society, you will find these guidelines very useful for they contain a wealth of information on a variety of topics related to the management of government records. They present many essential concepts and practices used every day in the management of archives, and contain information on the current legislation that affects your archives and your archives-related services. And because they serve as a practical, easy-to-read introduction to the subject of government records, these guidelines can easily be used as an integral part of your training program for new staff members.
Members of the general public will find these guidelines informative about the management of government records. These guidelines also help citizens of the state of Minnesota understand their rights to access government records, and give them the opportunity to become aware of the activities that state and local governments and historical societies undertake to preserve our heritage.
These guidelines have been written specifically for Minnesota agencies but the concepts addressed apply to similar organizations nationwide.
What is in the guidelines?
These guidelines serve as an introduction to the most important topics related to government records, and provide you with the basic tools and knowledge that are required to manage and preserve your collections.
- Chapter one focuses on the definition of government records and the laws that govern them.
- Chapter two discusses the many values a government record can have, and helps you get started appraising your own records.
- Chapter three discusses the practices of good documentation and record description and shows how these practices can help you manage your archives more effectively.
- Chapter four presents a discussion on information technology and electronic records, and discusses how changes in technology affect your work managing archives.
- Chapter five gives you preservation and storage tips that you can use to improve the preservation of your paper and non-paper records.
- Chapter six discusses the importance of providing access to your records, as well as your responsibilities to comply with the statutes that govern record access.
- At the end of these guidelines are two appendices with information to review when considering the transfer of local government records to another repository. The third appendix is a list with information about access rights to common local government records. The fourth is the revision history for the guidelines.
At the end of each chapter, you will find a "Where can you get more information on…" section that provides additional recommended print and online resources. The glossary at the end of these guidelines can be used to clarify many of the records management and technical terms used in these guidelines.
How can you use the guidelines?
Although these guidelines are a complete introduction to the subject of government records, there is a multitude of detailed information available on managing archives from many resources all around the United States. These guidelines are an excellent "jumping-off" point into the subject of government records preservation. You might want to bookmark this site for ready access to these guidelines and the numerous links to other helpful resources.
You can read these guidelines as an HTML-formatted document on this web site, or, you can easily download them, chapter by chapter, or in their entirety, in PDF format. Each chapter is self-contained; to understand the material presented in any chapter, you do not need to read all previous chapters (although reading these guidelines in their entirety would be most beneficial). Also in each chapter are occasional references to other chapters where you can find more detailed information on a related topic. If you are a manager, you might find it worthwhile to distribute this resource to your staff and volunteer members, or at least make it available to them in some way.
Unfortunately, Web page addresses do change and we therefore endeavor to periodically confirm all hyperlinks contained in the guidelines. If you find broken links or errors of any kind, please contact Shawn Rounds at the State Archives (telephone: 651-259-3265; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com). If you wish to comment on the guidelines, please Tell Us What You Think or contact Charles Rodgers at the State Archives (telephone: 651-259-3266; e-mail: email@example.com).
Regardless of your level of expertise in managing and preserving government records, you will find the information in these guidelines informative and useful, and you will be able to put it to work in your archives immediately, leading to archives that are of greater use and value.

Bexley teenager Samuel Boon's Morocco trek led by a novice, inquest hears
Updated 2:22pm Tuesday 7th January 2014 in News By Tim MacFarlan, reporter
THE leader of a Moroccan trek on which a Bexley student died was a novice who had never been to the country before.
Stephen Bates was in charge of Samuel Boon, 17, and 10 other Business Academy Bexley students on a World Challenge trek to Amizmiz in July 2012.
The former Army engineer had served two tours of Basra and been to the Falklands, Cyprus and Belize but had never been to Morocco or the Atlas mountains.
It was his first trip with World Challenge, which organises foreign adventure excursions, and his preparation with the company had involved two weekends of training, including two days in Hexham, Northumberland, in November 2011, and watching a series of online videos.
Samuel collapsed while attempting an incline in close to 40C heat at around 3.30pm on the second day of the trek on July 17, 2012, an inquest into his death at Bromley Civic Centre heard today.
Mr Bates told Coronor Selena Lynch: "I think he was tired. He was walking under his own steam.
"There were no alarm bells ringing in my head and there were no signs of heat illness."
Former BBA assistant headteacher Guy Hewson had earlier given evidence via Skype concerning the death of 6ft 2in, 20st Samuel.
Guy Hewson: "I felt there was no reason why he would not have managed the trek. He was a big lad, I don't deny it.
"The type of terrain talked of 'undulating hills'; they are not steep or technically complicated climbs.
"It was a hot day but there was shading at the lunchtime stops and they would not be walking at the hottest part of the day so the students would be capable of completing it.
"I felt it was an appropriate destination for students to go to - obviously it was out of their comfort zones but certainly not impossible."
The inquest, which began yesterday, is set to finish on Friday.

A few items from around the Maple Leafs this week:
Monster a maybe for Canucks
Schenn fighting sophomore slump
Leafs get physical
Leafs not alone on the path to misery
Leafs all business despite long layoff
Kessel participates in game-day skate
No Toskala in Leafs lineup tonight
Toronto is flying out to Vancouver right about now in order to get to the West Coast well ahead of Saturday night's game. Jonas Gustavsson is getting all of the attention at practice lately from the media, but Joey MacDonald likely gets that start.
The Leafs play five road games in eight nights beginning this weekend, so if the slump's going to end soon, it'll be away from the Air Canada Centre.

While the movie is out, and Rooney Mara has proven to be the perfect choice for Lisbeth Salander, the story of what could have been is alwasy intriguing. As has been well documented already, "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" wen through a lengthy, and very publicized casting process and in the final days, Sarah Snook, Sophie Lowe and Léa Seydoux were said to be the final candidates, with a mix of established and lesser known names like Ellen Page, Natalie Portman, Emma Watson, Mia Wasikowska, Emily Browning and Katie Jarvis also in the running. Last fall, David Fincher said that Scarlett Johansson gave a great audition but proved to be too sexy for the somewhat androgynous part. Also being considered was "Drive" and "Shame" star Carey Mulligan, and she reveals she was called back more than once to try out for the part.
"I auditioned three times for 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,' " Mulligan told Little White Lies in a recent interview. She went on to explain that Fincher's exacting methods and pursuit of what he wants, isn't just restricted to the film set. She also hoped that landing the role would allow to her break out of being offered parts that mirrored her youthful turn in her breakout film, "An Education."
"The first audition I did, I don't think I was sort of in his mind for it. So the first audition I did for the casting director without him. And then the second was with him and the third one was with him. He is very specific. He tells you exactly what he wants you to do. He's very kind. I was intimidated, but he was very…He's very direct. I like people who are direct," Mulligan explained. "I just sort of went all out for it because I did feel a little bit stuck in sort of being young looking or playing these parts. And I'd done so much costume drama and all these things kept on presenting themselves as opportunities and I just thought, 'If I could do that… ha!' And also to work with him and to work with Daniel Craig was an amazing opportunity. It was such a great character. But he was just very, yeah, very specific, very direct, very honest and quite brief – with me, at least. His reputation of course is that he takes, like, 45 takes so him being brief with me was probably an indication that I wasn't going to get the job. But that's okay."
A fascinating peek behind the curtain, from an actress who appears to be quite grounded. The rest of the interview is fascinating and worth clicking over there for, particularly for Mulligan's thoughts on the "one for them, one for me" strategy (she doesn't particularly buy into that notion), how her U.K. agents tend to take more risks in finding her roles the responsibility women have in creating their opportunities in the industry.
At any rate, though she lost out on 'Dragon Tattoo,' Mulligan has an envoius 2012 ahead of her with roles in two of the most anticipated films of the year: the Coen Brothers' "Inside Llewyn Davis" and Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby."
jingmei | January 10, 2012 8:46 PM
No worries she can play the sequel of this trilogy or someone like Rooney Mara's sister, both can be vulnerable and kicking ass. 8)
JP | January 10, 2012 2:24 PM
Why do people keep saying that Mia Wasikowska was "in the running" for the part? She never screen tested for it, let alone auditioned.
Unknown | January 10, 2012 12:24 PM
Don't worry. She happened to star in two really great GREAT films this year that are miles ahead of Dragon Tattoo--one of which I heavily consider to be the best film of 2011.
Yeah, it's Drive.

She's lovely and a STRONG actress. I don't think she sounds bitter at all! She's just telling it like it is!

Why does she keep talking about missing out on this movie JFC. IDK how she even thought she was right for the part. And it's not like tumbleweed is blowing through her resume; I think it's fair to say things worked out for the best. Get over it girl, you're starting to sound bitter.

The Swedies: Swede Fest XI awards
Though it's called Swede Fest, Fresno's semi-annual (that mean's twice a year, right?) celebration of sweded films isn't judged like many festivals (It's not judged at all). But being the arbiters of art that we are, we here at The Beehive have taken to handing out awards for what we see as the best of the fest. Swede Fest XI happened last night at a packed Tower Theatre. You can see all the entries at Swede Fest site. Winners receive their names in this post, which they can feel free to link on IMDB.
And the Swedies go to:
- Best picture: "Thelma & Louise." Nice editing, design, direction and acting. The full package as Swedes go.
- Best director: Heather McLane, "Clue." Lots of movement to this one and it was handled well. McLane shows a clear understanding of what a Swede should be.
- Best actor: Vince Consentino, "Dog Day Afternoon." Consentino proves that Swedes aren't just for amateurs.
- Best actress: Dana Parker-McClain, "Thelma & Louise." I don't remember the original movie much, but she sold the character well.
- Best supporting actor: Brandon Lowe, "Wilfred." It was more than the costume that made this Swede spot on.
- Best supporting actress: Vince Consentino, "Dog Day Afternoon." The guy is versatile.
- Best writing (adapted screenplay): "Scarface." Who doesn't love a good sandwich?
- Best costume design: "Whip It." Cone hats, black turtle-necks and cowboy hats. That about does it.
- Best special effects: "Over the Top." The opening 20 seconds are what make Swedes so fun to watch.
- Best use of children or animals: "Looper," w/special recognition to "Thelma & Louise." No explanations needed, I think.
- Creepiest use of a mask: "Scarface," w/special recognition to "They Live." Seriously, WTF??

Sherman, IL --- Walker Standardbreds, owned and operated by Dr. Kenneth Walker and his wife Patricia since 1975, is proud to welcome two new additions to their staff. Dr. Brian Kennedy has been hired as the new staff veterinarian while Amanda Grim joins the team as the office manager.
Dr. Kennedy was born and raised in Newton, Ill., and his family has been active in the horse industry for many years. He received his Bachelors of Science in Agriculture from Western Illinois University and his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Illinois.
He is certainly not "new" to Walker Standardbreds, as he has worked on and off for the Walkers for the last 10 years. He will assist Dr. Walker in maintaining the overall health of the farm's horses, which includes 115 broodmares, 75 yearlings and five stallions.
He adds that he "looks forward to working with Doc and Pat and to gain their knowledge from their many years of experience."
Grim resides in Mason City with her husband, David, and their children. She was born and raised in Southeast Missouri and graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in Animal Science.
In addition to her many duties in the office, she will also be responsible for updating and maintaining the farm's website and social media outlets.
She states, "I'm excited to be a part of this amazing group. Everyone here has been so nice and welcoming of me; it has truly been wonderful. I am looking forward to working with all of the horse owners in the very near future as our foaling and breeding season is just around the corner."
Walker Standandbreds is located at 7793 Farrand Road, Sherman, IL 62684. The farm specializes in breeding both on farm and outside owned Standardbred mares and raising high quality yearlings to be sold and trained for the harness racing industry.
Breeding and boarding inquiries should be directed to 217.496.2378.

OTC topicals are available in pharmacies, drugstores, supermarkets or directly from the manufacturer without a doctor's prescription. They come in many different forms. Two active ingredients, salicylic acid and tar, are approved by the FDA as treatments for psoriasis.
Salicylic acid is classified as a keratolytic, or peeling agent, and works by causing the outer layer of skin to shed. It is a common and effective treatment for a wide variety of skin problems. As a psoriasis treatment, it acts as a scale lifter, helping to soften and remove psoriasis scales.
Strong salicylic acid preparations can cause irritation if left in contact with the skin too long. The body may absorb too much salicylic acid if used over large areas of the skin. Salicylic acid may also weaken hair shafts and make them more likely to break, leading to temporary hair loss.

Babson led by as many as nine points in the second half in the final four minutes, but No. 3 Springfield forced overtime and cruised in the extra period to earn the semifinal win. The Pride advance to the NEWMAC Championship to take on No. 4 MIT. The last time Springfield won the conference crown was in 2000, but the Pride have made four appearances in the title game since that season.
Late in the second half, Joey Flannery gave the Beavers a 65-56 lead with 3:52 on the clock on a basket in the paint, but on the other end, Nick Sienkiewicz (Cranston, R.I) knocked down his third three-pointer of the game to make the score 65-59 with 3:43 to play. After a traveling violation by the Beavers, Sean Martin (Rindge, N.H.) got an easy look to the basket to make it a four point game in favor of Babson.
On the defensive end, Martin forced a Babson turnover, which was recovered by Tim Swenson (Millbury, Mass.). The Pride went down the court and Sienkiewicz hit his biggest three of the game, making it a 68-67 game with just 1:09 on the clock.
Martin was big down the stretch, going 3-for-4 from the foul line in the last 2:30 of regulation to keep the Pride within striking distance. Trailing by two points with 30 seconds left in the game, Sienkiewicz brought the Pride within one, getting fouled in the paint and hitting one free throw. With 25 seconds to go, Springfield sent Babson's Eric Dean to the foul line, where he went 1-for-2, making it a 70-68 game.
With 18 seconds left on the clock, Martin drove to the basket and netted the game-tying basket, to make it 70-70. Babson had one last crack at the end of regulation but Swenson blocked a shot and gobbled up the ensuing rebound to send the game to an extra session.
After Babson opened the extra period with a layup by Sam Bohmiller, it was all Springfield. First-year Nick McKenna (Danvers, Mass.) hit back-to-back three-pointers and Larry Piretra (Oakland, N.J.) drained one of his own to give Springfield a 79-74 lead with 2:08 to play in overtime. The Pride put the game away at the foul line, going 6-for-8 in the final 1:10. The Springfield defense took center stage in extra time, holding the Beavers to 2-of-12 shooting from the floor.
Springfield was led by Sienkiewicz and Martin with 18 points apiece. Sienkiewicz shot 4-of-7 from three and 6-of-8 from the foul line while Martin dished out six assists and had four steals to go along with his 18 point day. McKenna finished with 14 points on 4-of-8 from the perimeter. Swenson had a big game, finishing with 13 points and 13 rebounds while Robbie Burke (Cheshire, Mass.) added 11 points.
Babson was led by John Wickey with a team-high 17 points. Joey Flannery finished the day with 16 points, after the Pride held him to just two points on 0-of-5 shooting in the first half. The first year is averaging a league-best 19.2 points per game. He also had 12 boards in the game. Matt Palazini was also in double digit figures for the Beavers with a 15 point day.
The first half was back-and-forth and included six lead changes and six ties.
Springfield took its first lead on a Sienkiewicz three-pointer 3:30 into the half to go up 5-4 but Babson went on a 9-0 run to take its largest lead of the half, 13-5 over the Pride with 13:50 to play in the first. The run started on a jumper from Kenny Ross and concluded with a basket in the paint from David Mack, spanning 2:50.
Springfield answered back on back-to-back threes by McKenna, who cut the lead to just two points, 13-11 with 13:09 on the clock.
A three-pointer from Ross put Babson up 16-13, but a three-point play by Burke, who converted the basket and the foul, knotted things up, 16-16 with 10:11 left in the first.
Swenson gave Springfield's its biggest lead of the half on a basket in the paint off a feed from Alex Garstka (Westfield, Mass.), going up 24-20 with 5:25 left in the first.
Back-to-back baskets from Wickey and a three-pointer by Palazini gave Babson a 27-24 advantage with 2:05 left on the clock. Wickey had a strong half for Babson, hitting a second-chance jumper at the buzzer to put the Beavers up 31-26 at halftime. Wickey led all scorers with 12 points at the half.
Swenson brought some fire out of the locker room, opening the second half with a three-point play, getting the basket and the foul, cutting Babson's lead to 31-29 to open the half.
Garstka was key early on in the second, getting a basket underneath to cut the lead to just four points, as Babson led 43-39 with 13:32 to go. With 11:54 on the clock, Garstka drained a three-pointer to make it a one point game, 45-44.
Babson continued to push, holding the lead to around six points throughout the entire half, but the Pride stayed right within striking distance and got it done in overtime.
In Saturday's other semifinal game, No. 4 MIT upset top-seeded WPI to advance to the NEWMAC Championship on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. at WPI.

The game takes us to the Carribean Sea where young pirate and Assassin in training Edward Kenway hunts the Templars. If you can raid some ships in the meantime that's a pretty good deal don't you think?
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag – which is the complete title of the game – is set in the golden age for pirates. In the early 18th century several European powers battled over the riches the new world had to offer. A lot of young men got recruited into the military that way to search for glory and fortune in Amerika. In 1713 there was a pact that ended the fighting and brought peace to the coast of Amerika. Loads of men lost their jobs and there weren't enough riches in the mainland to support everybody. Driven to despair, these men fell into a life of crime and so came the pirates.
Do not expect a Jack Sparrow clone. Ubisoft made it clear they want to bring the rougher side of the pirate life and not the Disney version of it. Famous pirates like Blackbeard, who is a really good friend and mentor of Edward, will be in the game and show you that piracy is not a fantasy, but a hard reality.
We're in the Carribean and the whole region is our playground. There are three big cities ingame: Kingston, Havana and Nassau which all have their own characteristics. The most remarkable city is most definitely Nassau, it's a name not many people will know. Nassau was also called The Pirate's Republic. It was a region completely controlled by pirates where they created their own community. Some sort of safehaven. However, how safe can you really be among a gang of pirates?
The developers wanted to create a real open world so they got rid of the loading screens. You can just lower your anchor in front of the coast, jump in the water and swim ashore to explore that idyllic island.
Next to the current platforms, Assassin's Creed 4 will be released on the Playstation 4 at launch. What the big difference is between the next-gen and current-gen consoles isn't exactly clear yet. We'll have to wait for more information on that but in the meantime you can start scrubbing that deck!

There's a unique opportunity now in Nashville to drive the exotic car of your dreams. If you have the need for speed, a Lamborghini or a Ferrari can be your rental ride for a whole day or even just a couple hours.
"Oh, it's unbelievable. There's nothing like a Lamborghini - over 500 horsepower. It's an adrenaline rush," said Jonathan Bowman, owner of Music City Dream Cars.
The roar of an Italian Roadster is a not-so-subtle signal that something special is coming, and Bowman wants you to feel the rush, too.
For about $1,000 a day, $500 for a few hours, you can push the pedal in a fire-red Ferrari, classic white Rolls Royce or another of several classic cars available to you.
"Anyone can drive them. It's just like a normal car. You've got to be careful, because it's very fast. But once you get used to it, it's just so much fun," Bowman said.
This is not a moment for the modest or the bashful. Take one of these beauties for a spin, and you will get mouth wide-open stares.
"Everyone's gonna see you. You go down Broadway, everyone will be pointing and taking videos," Bowman said.
The business plan is simple and has worked in Miami and other American cities. Bowman hopes it will work in Nashville, too.

INDIANAPOLIS - Tuesday evening, New England Patriot Deion Branch, nursing a bout of the stomach flu, had little to do here in his hotel. He decided to reach out and text someone.
"There he goes, texting me and talking junk," said New York Giants safety Deon Grant. "I expected it. He always does."
Bitter rivals on the field through their entire careers, Branch and Grant collide again Sunday in Super Bowl XLVI.
They'll play the game on FieldTurf, but both know all too well, it's a rivalry bred in the rich Georgia clay.
"Oh, no doubt, no doubt, we ride high on Georgia (high school) football," said Grant, a 32-year-old from Augusta, who played at T.W. Josey High. "We were raised on red clay. When I see another Georgia player, I say, 'What's up, Red?' We stand by it. We know some of the best athletes in this game have come from there. We definitely ride strong and high, being from Georgia."
This Deion vs. Deon rivalry began in the 1996 playoffs when Josey, thanks to Grant, got the best of Branch and his Albany Monroe mates in a playoff showdown.
But it was in that game that Monroe coach Vernorris Bradley first saw a grand future for Branch.
"He was way behind and he ran down Deon Grant from behind," Bradley told The Eagle-Tribune in 2002. "That's when I knew he was special."
Grant went on to play at Tennessee and Branch, after two years at Jones County Junior College in Ellisville, Miss., went to Louisville.
Each has prospered in the pros, with Branch playing 10 years with New England and Seattle, and Grant in his 11th season with stops in Jacksonville, Carolina, Seattle and currently the Giants. The two renewed acquaintances for the first time as pros in Super Bowl XXXVIII.

Bobbles & Lace
Remember how I mentioned that I bought a gorgeous dress on my birthday, well here it is! The cut and color are what drew my attention; I love little shift dresses and I love black and white. It was an added bonus that the embroidered paisley fabric was so cool!
I bought the dress at an adorable little boutique around the corner from my apartment called Bobbles & Lace. When the store first opened this past winter, I thought for sure I wouldn't be able to afford a single item in there. Their window displays were always to-die-for and the styles so chic. I didn't want to tempt myself with looking at things I couldn't afford, so I put off going inside. Finally, I bit the bullet a month ago. Imagine my surprise, when the first amazing, must-own dress that I saw was under $70! I continued to look around the store in disbelief, picking up different items, all were under $100. Thus began my love affair with Bobbles & Lace!
Their website says it all:
Beauty does not have to come at such a high price."
After unwrapping my beautiful dress, I couldn't throw away the gorgeous cherry blossom print tissue paper protecting it. Instead, I turned it into a paper flower and stuck it on top of my monitor. Perfect!

The SMS 3.0.0 spec is EXTREMELY vague in how it describes the semantics of the ringtone data stream. In particular, there is a concept of "current octave", "current style" and "current volume", but no information as to when they are reset to their defaults.
On my 8210 these current settings are retained throughout a pattern and are only reset to their defaults at the start of the pattern. But the 3310 seems to contain a "feature" whereby the current octave (at least) is reset to the default after every rest (note with value = 0).
Is there any documentation available which explains the "differences in implementation" of ringtone playback between different Nokia phones? Is there a well-defined, lowest common denominator format?
Or at least can anyone confirm the behavior I describe on the 3310? How do other people handle the "current octave" settings? The lowest common denominator approach seems to be to always issue a "set octave" command before any note that occurs immediately after a rest. This is unfortunately wasteful of limited memory. Any better ideas?

Some actually take this spectator sport/election seriously and I just can't help but be disturbed by it.
Some McCain supporters are getting excited because of his PR stunt (e.g. Palin) that has boosted his national popularity. It was even reported that when Palin left for Alaska the recent surge of crowds for McCain dwindled… noticeably.
But popularity doesn't exactly win an election. We should know this by now.
When it comes to the polls by state and considering the electoral votes of the secured and swing states, Obama bin Biden will win.
But who cares? The two are nearly identical; their differences are akin to that between Coke and Pepsi.
Most Americans are concerned with the economy yet both candidates have the same view, which isn't in line with the public. Where they differ is on foreign policy and it amounts to the Republicans opting for aggression from the get go whereas Obama bin Biden wants to put on a show before the finale.
What I am saying is you can choose between Coke and Pepsi, but you all know you should be drinking water…

Beginning Reading Lesson Plan
By: Sarah Drawdy
Rationale: It is important for students to learn correspondences between letters and sounds so they can transition into beginning reading. Short vowels are especially hard to learn; therefore, it is important for students to have explicit instruction and practice with short vowels. This lesson will help students learn to recognize and read the correspondence a = /a/. The students will learn the correspondence a = /a/ by making a memorable connection to the correspondence in written and spoken words. They will remember the a=/a/ by the memorable hand and facial gesture, as well.
Materials: The Cat Nap (copy for every child), white board and marker, a tongue twister written on slips of paper for each child, a worksheet practicing words that have the say /a/, and a pencil.
1) Introduce the lesson by telling the children that our written language is a secret code that we have to figure out in order to read. I will then explain to children that each letter has its very own mouth movement and sound! Then, I will tell them that today we are going to be learning about the letter A.
2) Then, I will say to the children: Has anyone ever jumped out and scared you? Or have you ever seen something that scared you? Well, what do you normally say when someone scares you? That's right! You say AAAAAAA! And that's the sound the letter A makes. Every time we hear the /a/, let's put our hands on our face!
I have a
tricky tongue tickler we are going to say with our new sound in it. I'm going to
model it first and I want you listen to all the /a/ sounds that you hear.
Then, I'm going to read it a second time
and I want you to put your hands on your face when you hear our special sound!
"The awesome antelope asked Annie about apples." Did everyone hear our special
sound? Good! Now let's say it together and make sure you put your hands on your
face when you hear the sound! "The
awesome antelope asked Annie about apples." Great! Everyone put their hands on
their face at the right time! Now, I want you to read the sentence by
yourself! I know you're going to do great!
Now, I want you to read the sentence by yourself! I know you're going to do great!
4) Say: Now, let's read the /a/ sound in a book! I have a book called The Cat Nap. This story is about a cat named Tab. Tab is a fat cat who likes to nap in a bag. Sam is the man who owns Tab. Sam plays baseball. Sam has a bat in his bag. To find out if Tab is nearby, we need to read the book!
5) Say: I want each of you to point to the words while I read it to you. When I read the book, I want each of you to tell me what words have the /a/ sound in them. Next, you will read the book to me!
6) Say: Now that you know the short A sound and can read a book with that sound, let's try a practice worksheet. Next to each number is a picture of something that has the short A sound in it. I just want you to finish the word by putting the letter a where you hear the sound in the word.
7) Assessment: I will be able to assess the children by not only observing their involvement with the lesson, but also by using their worksheet activity.

Guest Star: "If I Didn't Have That Happen To Me, Nobody Would Know What Fat Joe Was Trying To Explain"
Friday, Jan 4, 2013 3:40PM
[With rap heavyweights like Lil Wayne and Rick Ross making headlines last year for seizures, renowned rapper/producer Erick Sermon reflects on previously getting hospitalized for heart-related complications.]
My hospitaliziation was a blessing because as you can tell, people who know me know I like to speak and have something to say when I am being spoken to or when I'm speaking. So I'm able to be alive to tell people about heart disease, about how big it is, about how for black men the leading cause of death is not cancer, it's not HIV but it's heart disease.
Heart disease comes from having high blood pressure and diabetes. If I didn't have that incident happen to me, I don't think nobody in the hip-hop community would know what Fat Joe was trying to explain because Fat Joe didn't explain it this way. He explained it that his boys were dropping off like flies but didn't know why and so he started losing weight.
He said he had diabetes for so many years and he lost weight. But he didn't get the statistics the way I'm giving them, the way they will scare a person that's walking on the street that doesn't know he or she might have high blood pressure.
So I'm telling them that gunfire, cancer and HIV is not killing you faster than your heart is.
I really can't explain the recovery because people will think I'm crazy. What was supposed to happen to me happened. It was quick and it was fast and I was back into the mix of things. I got out of the hospital on the six day, went to my bed and that night I went downstairs at 12 o'clock in the morning and I made that Jimi Hendrix ["A Way Out"] record.
My studio is in my basement, so I was able to sit down and make it in my home. I didn't have to drive anywhere. I had stayed in the hospital for an extra two days just to make sure I could go home. I wasn't weak at all.
So think about it. I went to the hospital, on the six day got out and went to make that "A Way Out" Jimi Hendrix record. That's how fast it was. It was something that was supposed to be made and my mixtape didn't feel like it was going to be able to come out unless I had that record to go with it.
That was the last song that I did for the [Breath of Fresh Air] mixtape.
Erick Sermon, also known as Erick Onassis, (born November 25, 1968 in Bay Shore, New York) is an American rapper, musician, and producer. Sermon is best known as half of late-1980s/1990s hip hop group EPMD and for production work. He currently resides in Hauppauge, New York.

Sewer works to close Watling Street in Radlett this evening (From St Albans & Harpenden Review)
Get involved: send your pictures, video, news & views by texting st albans to 80360, or upload here
Sewer works to close Watling Street in Radlett this evening
Updated 2:34pm Thursday 6th March 2014 in News
The A5183 Watling Street in Radlett will be closed from A411 Elstree Crossroads North to the A414 North Orbital Road from 8pm this evening.
Thames Water has been dealing with a blocked sewer near Radlett Station under an emergency response permit since February 19.
The works have involved temporary two-way traffic signals being manually controlled during peak times.
The sewer, which is four metres down in the centre of the highway, has been completely blocked by concrete causing sewerage to back up. The sewer will now have to be replaced.
It is hoped the work will be completed by 8pm on Saturday, March 8.
Terry Douris, Cabinet Member for Highways, said: "We are doing everything in our powers to limit the disruption caused during this time. We are insisting that works be carried out 24/7 to minimise the duration of the closure with noisy works kept to a minimum during the night time periods.
"We are extremely frustrated that this situation has arisen due to what appears to be someone's irresponsible actions and residents affected by this disruption have our sympathy. Due to the nature of these works council taxpayers will not be footing the bill."
Thames Water operations manager Mark Grimshaw said: "Normally blockages are caused by fat, oil and grease building up in the sewer but unfortunately in this case it's concrete, so we can't just jet it through.
"It's in there and it's set to the pipe, so unfortunately it means we need to remove the pipe and replace it with a new one. This is very frustrating and not the first time damage has been caused by private contractors pouring concrete into our sewers. "

"I first met Ryan McGinley in 2002 at a party somewhere in downtown New York, we talked and had a great connection… he showed me photos that he pulled from his pocket. They reminded me a bit of Nan Goldin's works that I had showed at the Galerie du Jour in the 90's. But Ryan's photos were very different in the way he was photographing his friends -outdoors and close to nature, in a very neo-romantic and lyrical way, akin to painting, evoking the difficulties of youth and coming of age." agnès

The Dow Jones industrial average, down nearly 101 points during the afternoon, finished with a loss of 58.92 at 6,896.56.
Broader indicators also fell despite a fairly encouraging session in the bond market, where prices rebounded after an early drop that briefly boosted long-term interest rates above 7 percent for the first time since September.
Decliners outnumbered advancers by nearly a 2-to-1 margin on the New York Stock Exchange, with 865 up, 1,670 down and 815 unchanged. NYSE volume totaled 467.30 million shares vs. 494.43 million yesterday.
The Standard & Poor's 500-stock list fell 6.05 to 789.66, and the NYSE's composite index fell 2.97 to 415.40. The Nasdaq composite index fell 10.09 to 1,269.34, and the American Stock Exchange composite index fell 0.79 to 595.45.
Bonds initially sank after the Commerce Department reported that construction of new homes and apartments unexpectedly shot up 12.2 percent in February to the highest level in nearly three years.
Although there are few signs of rapid inflation, analysts worry the economy may be growing too fast and generating price pressures.
Those fears have been fed by a wide array of data ranging from labor markets to consumer spending. Federal Reserve officials are scheduled to meet next week to decide whether to raise interest rates.
As bond prices fell, the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond -- a key determinant of corporate and consumer borrowing costs -- briefly jumped above 7 percent before pulling back near late yesterday's 6.95 percent.
Rising inflation or interest rates can make the fixed payoff on bonds less attractive, pushing down prices to improve the yield. Higher interest rates at the Fed or the bond market, meanwhile, can hurt stocks by slowing consumer spending and raising corporate borrowing costs. A higher, guaranteed yield on Treasury bonds can also sap demand for stocks.
The shaky interest rate backdrop continued to drag down banks and other financial services companies, which enjoy a smaller profit margin on loans when rates rise.
The most active NYSE issue was Micron Technology Inc., which fell $4.125 to $40 despite late yesterday's slightly better-than-expected earnings report by the chipmaker.

I say the blazers trade Andre Miller, Travis Outlaw, the rights to Victor Claver (or our 2010 first round pick) to the Bulls for Kirk Hinrich and Aaron Gray... then Aaron Gray, Steve Blake our 2010 first round pick (or the rights to Victor Claver) to the Wizards for Brendan Haywood.
The salaries match and everyone gets something beneficial... at least I think so... but I'm biased.
If I were Pritchard I would make this move.
