Blonde Bedhead (See Jane's Friend)
Here's my friend, Andrea, with the last guest post of my vacation. I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone when I return!
With fall quickly approaching, I can't help but think about how I plan to style some fun outfits for the cooler weather. Last fall, I was all about leopard print, fur and shearling, and I have a feeling these trends will continue to make their way into my outfits this fall as well.
I also plan to incorporate more colored jeans and fun prints into my outfits this fall. What's your favorite fall staple and what trend do you want to try this year?
Come visit me at Blonde Bedhead, (www.blondebedhead.com)

This winter I'm trying coloured trousers as well - I have some red cropped ones from ASOS. I'm also using mixed prints at the moment. Usually I focus on one busy piece but now I'm trying the mix-and-match thing :)
You look a bit like Ke$ha! I think its the fab hair!

« How's that ALA L2 Course Going? | Main | Leslie Burger and Transformed Libraries »
A Gaggle of Schools
A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of giving a presentation for a ton o'media specialists in Michigan. The topic was using technology in media centers, specifically blogs, RSS, and wikis, with a little gaming thrown in. It was fun, and everyone seemed pumped afterwards to try something new.
However, as always happens when I do these kinds of presentations, the best part was that I learned something great that I could bring back to MPOW (my place of work as Karen says). When we talked about blogging, Ted Brindle from Grand Rapids Public Schools spoke up about some great things he's doing with a site called Gaggle.net. This site provides a safe blogging environment plus email for students, safe chat rooms, and secure message boards, almost like a closed MySpace for schools (more here). It has a tiered approach to access, letting you as administrator set up blogs fot students and restrict access on a blog-by-blog basis to either the district, the school, the class, the teacher (for those kids that don't turn in parental release forms), or not at all (open to the whole world).
Even better, you can try out Gaggle for free (you can always upgrade and pay a fee if it's working really well for you). The free version gives you 2.5 MB of space per user, provides blogging and email for each student and teacher, and allows (email?) messages to remain live for 65 days. The one caveat is that free means your students will see ads, but Ted wisely uses these to teach the students about advertising on the web and how to recognize and evaluate it. Talk about making the most of a situation and using a free resource to its ultimate potential!
So I'm going to show Gaggle to our youth services consultant to talk about how she could introduce it to our school libraries this fall. In addition, Ted is looking for other Gaggling schools to collaborate with on student blogs, so if you're on or get on the service, please email him to discuss the potential for working together (he also requests that you put "interest in gaggle.net collaboration" in the subject line). Hopefully we can connect him with some of our own school librarians and get some interstate conversation going!
Addendum: I wanted to add that Ted has really thought through a lot of the issues that schools face with getting students motivated to blog. He's got lots of great ideas, motivations, and policies, so he's a great resource. He's also given me permission to post a little more about how blogging has helped his students.
"On May 9, I only had one student that had posted to a blog. Now I have several more. Look at Uziel's post at http://www.gaggle.net/blog/uziel.
He also provided links to more of his students' blogs, with a couple of notes:
** http://www.gaggle.net/blog/alimasi
** very creative, likes to write
Like I said - Ted is a great resource!

We always love a Kardashian occasion, because that family sure know how to how to push the boat out. Take Kim's baby shower earlier this month for example, an elegant affair set in a friend's garden where marquees were erected and guests, including Kelly Osbourne and Kimberley Stewart, were invited to wear floral garlands on their heads before skipping off with a luxury goodie bag. Or Kourtney's birthday in April, which may on the surface seem quite low-key (given that it took place in a bowling alley), but actually bought the whole clan together to show off their skills. Just imagine looking over to the next lane and spotting patriarch Bruce Jenner teaching his kids how to get a strike.
Even honorary Kardashian Kanye West got in on the action at his recent bday bash in New York where he invited the music industry's finest, including Beyonce and Jay-Z to toast his health. And don't even get us started on the family's Big Fat Greek Holiday earlier this year where the crew jumped off yachts, went horse riding, ate banquets and topped up their tans, all in the glare of the paparazzi who after photos of a heavily pregnant Kim.
Today the attention turns to Kimmy's younger sister Khloe who is celebrating her 29th birthday. The star has had quite a year from hosting the X Factor to becoming an aunt again and to mark the milestone (just a year away from the big 3-0) Khloe and her sibling Kourtney hosted a pajama party with their closest pals. The girls shared photos of the night, which as you can imagine got rather raucous with high kicks, stuffed penguins and PJs galore.

Dragons and Dragonflies
Click to download full size album art.
Dragons are large slow characters, sitting around in a cave, burping flammable gas, or barely flying with their overweight bodies. And Dragonflies, small, fast and lightweight, they dart around like little speed demons. It is this contrast that I incorporated into the album theme of Dragons and Dragonflies. I took the idea of having the fastest and most energetic songs first and ordering them toward the end with the slowest and easiest of songs. Dragons and Dragonflies is a theme based rock electronic fantasy album with dreamy moods from funky rock and techno to ambient realms. The album is conceptually designed to slow the listener down into a relaxed mode.

November 29, 2014
Landlords in Janesville will have to take a more pro-active approach if their tenants get in trouble. A new city ordinance now holds them responsible for their tenants bad behavior. The ordinance is designed to target tenants before they are convicted of any offense. It deals with chronic nuisance-type behaviors, such as disorderly conduct, drug dealing, fighting and theft.
Police Chief Neil Mahan will now notify owners after four arrests, citations or warnings have been issued on their property. Owners have five days to meet with police and another ten days to create a plan to stop the behavior. The Janesville Police Department says it will force absentee landlords to get involved in making their neighborhoods safer, but some residents say the ordinance targets the wrong people.
"The tenant controls his premises and so that's the one they ought to go after, not the landlord," says former Janesville Police Officer and former property manager Al Lembrich.
"That's true, but property owners are also business owners and they have a responsibility to run their business in a way that doesn't destroy a neighborhood," says Police Chief Neil Mahan.
Other businesses like the ordinance. Robin Poulson of Janesville Property Management says she supports anything designed to make her tenants safer.
"We don't always know...of everything that is going on unless a neighbor complains, so this way we can nip some problems in the bud right away," says Poulson.
Last year, police had problems with apartments on South Academy Street in its Fourth Ward. One building there produced nearly 200 calls for everything from fighting to aggressive panhandling.
If landlords do not come up with an abatement plan with police, they can be subject to fines in the thousands of dollars. If tenants do not comply with the plan, owners can start the process to evict them.

It's not too late to save Lake ChamplainAugust 24,2014Conservation Law Foundation photo
Algae on Lake Champlain is caused by runoff carrying phosphorus into the shore waters.One sultry evening late last summer, my husband and I ready for a cool swim in Lake Champlain discovered firsthand the sad and maddening presence of blue-green algae in the lake on Burlingtons south shore.
We were two of many unhappy, would-be swimmers and bathers that evening as we went away without a dip. We were all disturbed and disappointed by what we had seen.
For years, we have been following, studying and speaking out on this very issue. The health of our beloved and life-supporting lake is threatened by phosphorus overloading from runoff throughout the watershed. The nutrient-rich water, warmed by the sun, produces blue-green algae.
Advocacy, when it is informed by and charged with a personal, tangible experience, can be galvanizing. It was for us.
And so it was for a father in St. Albans.
Tim Camisa, a St. Albans native, had a similar experience to our encounter with an algae-laden lake. Taking his kids to swim in St. Albans Bay on a summers day in the early 2000s, he was repulsed by the sight of the soupy green mess where the bright sparkling water of his youth used to be. He resolved to do something about it.
He studied nearly 50 Lake Champlain water quality reports commissioned by the state throughout the past few decades. Many of the reports cumulative 10,000 pages pointed to phosphorus-filled agricultural runoff as a prevalent source of bloom-generating pollution.
After a year of study, it dawned on him: Why not remove the phosphorous before it even reaches the runoff?
Several years later, after exhaustive design, research, patent procurement and capital raising, Camisa and his business partner, Mike Rooney, created a new company called Vermont Organics Reclamation Inc.
VOR buys manure from dairy farmers and makes it into a seed-starter mix that they sell through seed catalogues and to nurseries that grow flowers. Camisa said the process takes up to 20 percent of the phosphorus out of circulation and repurposes it. Its a win-win-win. VOR pays the farmer and in turn is paid by its customers, the phosphorus is exported and the lake is a little better for it.
Strategically located on land adjacent to the Ben & Jerrys plant, VOR has the potential to become a significant employer in the St. Albans community. Like the ice cream maker with a social conscience VORs environmentally motivated startup came about with the help of a public-private partnership.
If Camisa and others firsthand encounters with damaged ecosystems could generate more focused entrepreneurial responses to these stresses, there is hope. But the solution wont come without help from the public sector too.
It is one of the important functions of our state and federal governments to support the kind of activity that will take Vermont in the direction we need to go. Surely, we want the services that a healthy Lake Champlain can provide: swimming, fishing, boating, water to drink, tourism dollars and views to lift your spirits in any season.
The state of Vermont has been willing to spend many millions of dollars during the past decades for the Lake Champlain cleanup and what do we have to show for this investment? We have a lake still in deep trouble from phosphorous overloading.
Public money well spent to provide businesses whose products promote public good with a little leg up on the competition could at the same time generate economic activity and create jobs. Its not a new idea, but it is an effective one.
Camisas exciting business venture is a model and a beacon. The outrage at what we are letting happen to our great lake should spur us to take more personal and innovative measures to find lasting solutions. State and federal governments should be beating the bushes to find entrepreneurs and innovators who want to make a difference as well as a profit.
Hope to see you on bright and sparkling waters again soon.

Lamiglas X-11 Salmon & Steelhead Spinning Rods are sophisticated tools, exhibiting astonishing sensitivity and control, with highly focused affordability. These X-11 rods feature deep press chrome guides, constructed of stainless steel. The combination of their deep pressed ring design and finish allows these guides to hold up to the most rigorous of fishing conditions.
X-11 Salmon & Steelhead Spinning Rods feature exposed reel seats to provide additional sensitivity and feel. The glossy merlot color, IM graphite blanks are strikingly beautiful.
Lamiglas X-11 Salmon & Steelhead rods come with a 1-year limited manufacturer's warranty.
I havent had a chance to fish this rod just yet. From what I can tell its exactly what I was looking for. A quality rod with a sensitive and flexible tip section and enough backbone to direct a fish to where I want it to go. Might have given it a higher rating if I had fished it. The price was right and with free shipping it was even better. I cant wait to fish this rod in a few weeks.
I purchased this rod late in the steelhead season, since my purchase I have landed over 20 steelhead ranging from 3 to 10 lbs.. The sensitivity is great and the rod can take what ever you dish out, extremely light weight rod that you would see in a more expensive rod. I plan on purchasing another rod in the near future, I was using the 10' 6" Lamiglas X-11 spinning rod.
Nice action, good flex. Had the opportunity to land a 30" steelhead the first time I used it. All around good rod, especially for the price.

The Ballarat Orphanage was a large, two-storey Gothic-style building, dating back to 1865. In his submission to 'Forgotten Australians', Frank Golding tells of his first reactions to the imposing buildings:
'I snatched at each shaft of the iron fence as the policeman pulled us towards the great double gate. The gravel crunched under our feet as we drew near the dark-red building. Looking up to the balcony on the second floor, Billy read to us the cast iron words 'ORPHAN ASYLUM 1865'. This was a grim place, this Ballarat Orphanage. Solid, like a fortress. '
An article published in the Argus newspaper demonstrates how the Orphanage represented itself to the Victorian public:
'It is the claim of the orphanage committee that the orphanage has one of the widest and also one of the narrowest doors in the world. No child of good character is refused admission, no matter what may be his creed and nationality. That is the width of the door. And this is the narrowness of it - the child must be absolutely destitute. But it happens that there are few Ballarat children so hopelessly placed that there is none to look after them: therefore, if the hospitality of the orphanage was confined to Ballarat, about nine-tenths of its spacious buildings would stand silent and empty. But this hospitality is wide enough to embrace the whole state, and so the place is fairly full - there are 179 inmates - though there is still room for more. '
The children were housed in separate sections of the Orphanage, depending on their age and sex. There were areas for toddlers (known as 'the bubs'), girls and boys. This system meant that siblings admitted to the Orphanage were most likely separated. Alan Radcliffe, who was admitted to the Orphanage with his siblings in the 1930s, describes how children lived at Ballarat:
'I was placed into the toddler's section, my sister Elsie went to the girl's section and Syd was placed into the boy's section. The Ballarat orphanage was a very big home, which had about 470 boys and girls in it. As a two-year-old older girls who were in the home looked me after. As I got older I they was placed into the boy's section. The home had a big farm a very big garden and their own school.'
Frank Golding was separated from his brother Bill, but lived alongside his brother Bob, as they were close in age. In his submission to the 'Forgotten Australians' inquiry, he wrote:
'With scores of children to play with, over time the idea of brothers and sisters became irrelevant. Many children with shared surnames had no other bond. Some children told us they had brothers or sisters in other orphanages. In our case although we looked like peas in a pod, especially Bob and me, we did not act like 'normal' brothers except when one of us was being picked on and a fraternal instinct could be relied on. We were thrust together with hordes of other children and some became almost as close friends as brothers. '
The children of Ballarat Orphanage attended an on-site school. The children's work in the farm, laundry, dairy, gardens, kitchen, boot-repair and woodwork workshops were seen by the Orphanage as 'valuable education' for the inmates. Photographs in the Argus in 1924 depict the boys in the 'sloyd class' (woodwork) with the caption 'The system of education adapts boys to go on the land and if a farmer is a good carpenter that will be of great assistance to him. The boys also learn to repair their own boots.' A photograph of the girls has the caption: 'All the girls shown in this photograph will, by the time they leave the orphanage, be good, plain cooks, they will be able to make their own dresses, and will understand all about the laundry'.
From 1920, children at the Ballarat Orphanage spent time at a beachside holidays in Queenscliff. The first holidays at Queenscliff saw the girls sleeping in the Church of England Hall and the boys in tents lent by the military authorities. This 'change of air' was so successful that the Orphanage committee arranged for the Queenscliff Rest Home to become a branch of the Orphanage, and dormitories for the children were built on its grounds for annual holidays.
The Superintendent of Ballarat Orphanage during this period was Arthur Kenny. He first began work at the institution when it was known as the Ballarat District Orphan Asylum. Kenny began as a gardener, but was made Superintendent in 1884. His obituary in the Ballarat Courier stated that due to his natural talent for handling children and especially boys, 'the first opportunity that arose saw him placed in the more responsible position, with the late Mrs Kenny as Matron'.
Kenny was apparently known as 'the Mister' by the children in the orphanage. He died in 1925, after 50 years as Superintendent. He was succeeded by H.C. (Bert) Ludbrook.
Mrs Kenny retired as Matron in 1921, but continued as 'Lady Superintendent' until her death in 1924. Her daughter, Sister Lulu Kenny, took over as Matron, remaining in the role for 35 years. Another daughter of the Kennys, Jean, was the Assistant Secretary of the Orphanage.
During World War Two, the Rest Home was taken over by the military.
In Frank Golding's memoir An orphan's escape (2005) which describes his experiences as a resident of Ballarat Orphanage in the 1940s and 1950s, he remembered the trips to Queenscliff with fondness:
'After Christmas we went to the Orphanage's Queenscliff Rest Home in Stevens Street for two precious weeks. Parole in paradise. Singing every mile, we travelled by slow train to Geelong, and the rest of the way by bus … Every day the Orpho children walked to the back beach, with miles of clean, hot sand to sunbake on and heavy waves for body surfing … We loved going to Queeny for all sorts of reasons but perhaps the best was that we dressed like normal children on holidays. We had runners, singlets and shorts, not at all like the daggy outfit the institution made us wear in Ballarat (pp.85-87).'
In the 1960s, the Orphanage began to organise summer camps at Queenscliff, the boys and girls holidaying separately.
The institution finally sold the house at Queenscliff in 1973.
The article in the Argus from 1924 described mealtimes at the Orphanage: '… these youngsters sit down to decently prepared tables, white cloths spread and polished knives and forks; and to a meal of pudding, soup and vegetables, good substantial and ample.'
The journalist's depiction of the food is a stark contrast to one written by Frank Golding in his submission:
'The best that could be said about the food was that it was regular and recurrently basic. Bread and dripping ('flop') was our common breakfast with a mug of lukewarm tea. The main meals were routinised: you could tell what day of the week it was by what we were eating. The menu was totally predictable. And there was never enough. '
In his submission, Alan Radcliffe remembered the rituals of mealtimes at Ballarat Orphanage:
'When it was time for breakfast dinner or tea the boys would line up single file the girls would come in a different section we would march single file into the dining room and stand at our allotted place around the table. The superintendent and other man were in the dining room. We all stood to say a prayer before we sat down. If it were not loud enough the supervisor would bang the table and say 'Not loud enough, say it again'. Following this prayer the two of supervisors would march up and down the isle. If any girl or boy talked they would render a wack on their back.'
The collection of the CLAN Orphanage Museum includes original menus from the Ballarat Orphanage from the 1960s.
After World War Two, the Board of Management decided to move towards the 'cottage' system of accommodation. This project did not commence in earnest until the mid 1950s, when the Orphanage began negotiations and planning with the Hospitals and Charities Commission. Rebuilding began in 1959.
On 14 February 1960, staff and children were transferred from the old building to a new services block, which included an assembly hall, kitchen, dining rooms, sewing rooms, laundry and boiler-house.
The east wing was demolished to make way for a residence for 54 boys and 3 housemasters. This new residence, which opened in 1961, could house children in a cottage system, comprising three potentially independent units.
In 1963, work began on another residential unit for 40 children. The Albert W. Leech Cottage (named after an 'old boy' who had died in the war) opened in February 1964. It accommodated 20 boys and 20 girls.
In 1965, the Orphanage announced its plans to build an extra wing of the Albert W. Leech Cottage for 20 more children, a new unit for senior girls and an administration building.
The Ballarat Orphanage accommodated a large number of Aboriginal or Koorie children, many of them having been removed from their families in western Victoria.
The importance of the institution to Indigenous people is recognised by the former site of the Orphanage's inclusion on the Ballarat Koorie Heritage Trail (there is an interpretation board at Damascus College, 150 metres from the corner of Stawell and Victoria Streets).
Murray Harrison (a Wotjabaluk man originally from Dimboola) and two of his sisters were removed from their family at Bruthen in Gippsland, and sent initially to the 'depot' at Royal Park. Harrison has positive memories of the Ballarat Orphanage, particularly compared with his time at Turana in Royal Park, and being in a home with other Indigenous children:
'Coming here, to actually see the black faces of the children here, that was something [I heard my sisters] say, 'I think we're home.' For us, to see people who really are us - whether they were direct family or another tribal people, we were still of the same personage and blood…'
The Orphanage commissioned a history to celebrate its centenary in 1965. Its author, Miss Ethel Morris, reflected on the changes that had taken place over 100 years:
'Gone are the buildings the founders fought so hard to achieve, replaced by a village-like pattern of attractive cottage units … And the children of 1965 … These children of the new century know all about what goes on in their fast-moving world as they watch television and listen to the radio in their recreation rooms, and browse through the books in their well-equipped libraries … Best of all, they 'belong', in smaller groups under the care of house 'mothers' and 'fathers'.'
The prospect of a name change for the Orphanage was first mooted in the early 1960s by its then-president, Dr CE Richardson. According to the Morris history, Dr Richardson 'took the view that as few of the children in the home were orphans, and most came from broken homes, the word "orphanage" was no longer applicable'.
In 1968, the Ballarat Orphanage ceased to be. The new name of the organisation was Ballarat Children's Homes.
In this oral history interview held by the National Library of Australia, Deborah Findlay discusses her experiences at the Ballarat Children's Homes; how she came to be there; the harsh daily routine; her attempts to escape and the punishment she received. In addition she highlights its heritage value.

scrap prices,
ferrous scrap,
steel scrap,
Sean Davidson
NEW YORK Ferrous scrap prices appear to be leaning toward another price drop in June, according to early market speculation.
Although price trends are expected to vary significantly for different grades and regions, most sources surveyed by AMM said they expect a sideways or slightly softer June pricing environment.
"The general consensus seems to be unanimous in thinking that June will show additional softness. This generally becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy," said one broker who expects the price differential between prime and cut grades to widen a little in June.
Most mill buyers and suppliers said they anticipate some Midwest markets to be weaker than the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic, with the South and Southeast expected to fall somewhere in between. The variations will relate to supply and demand balances, which appear to be at equilibrium in some regions and not so far off in others, according to several sources.
A buyer for one steel producer said he expects prime grades in Chicago to drop $10 per gross ton and shredded scrap to fall $15 per ton from May, while prices in the Ohio Valley could trend sideways on prime grades and be down $10 on shred.
Other Midwest buyers and sellers said they expect price drops of anywhere between $10 and $20 per ton in the Midwest, with prime grades likely to trend slightly stronger than shred and obsolete grades. A few sources, however, felt the overall market could trend closer to sideways.
Market participants speculated similar drops of $10 to $20 per ton in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and Texas, with prime grades there also expected to perform better than obsolete grades.
The expectation that prime grades might experience less of a price decline than other grades comes as some sources say demand for prime looks likely to rise, even as overall scrap demand is largely expected to hover around the same levels seen in April and May or even come off a little.
Demand for prime grades like No. 1 busheling is expected to rise in June because some mills "came up short" on the grade in May, according to one market source.
A second broker agreed, saying that demand for prime will stay strong because electric-arc furnaces (EFs) are not expected to change their melt. "Most EFs are not going to all of a sudden switch to an all-frag (shred) heat, which is cheaper and has better supply," he said. "Melt shops got used to the drug that is busheling. Yield to value was great. That party is largely over as the grade and its overhang has been tapped pretty much out. We are back to a balanced supply-demand curve on busheling. EFs will continue to pressure the grade for the next few months until we see spreads get to $30 or morea more traditional bush-to-shred spread."
However, most participants said that any spike in demand for prime grades will be met by sufficient supply, thereby negating much price impact.
Meanwhile, most Midwest sources contacted by AMM reported a steady scrap supply, with only some suggesting flows from industrial accounts and obsolete collections had dropped following two months of price declines.
A source at a large scrap company echoed the consensus view, saying that flows into yards have been reasonable but not "overwhelming."
A buyer for another Midwest steel producer said there was little concern about supply. "My remote vendors say supply is great. More locally, theyve told me supply is okay and hasnt fallen off despite the price decreases," he said. "Some dealers here think prime shouldnt go down and claim that some mills are buying at sideways. Im on the fence with this one. Industrial scrap generation is not tied to pricing so it should go down."
A third buyer said he had heard conflicting reports on the strength of scrap flows, "but regardless of whether theyre up or down, they seem to be adequate to cover demand. Dealers so far seem content to keep their scrap moving. Neither dealers nor consumers seem inclined to build inventories. Steel markets continue to feel weak and uncertain as steel pricing continues to drift down on most products."
Although some suppliers pointed to recent price increase announcements by a number of steel sheet producers as a positive for scrap prices in June (amm.com, May 23), others were more skeptical.
"Regarding the price increases, we dont really believe it," said a scrap buyer for a fourth steel producer. The buyer said he had received offers at down $15 per ton in the Midwest and responded with bids at down $17 to $18.
"It appears we are going into another soft market in June for the third month in a row," another consumer said. "With finished goods struggling to find a home and margins squeezed, the metalworking industry continues to flounder, as witnessed by quarterly earnings by steel mills. The export market would be the only thing to hold the market up, but that is pretty much nonexistent at this time."

Former Notre Dame standouts Bob Crable, Raghib Ismail and Aaron Taylor were among the 77 players and five coaches on Football Bowl Subdivision ballot for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame, which the National Football Foundation announced Tuesday.
Crable was a linebacker, who was a consensus first-team All-American selection in 1980 and 1981. He holds Notre Dame records for most tackles in a career (521), season (187 in 1979) and game (26 vs. Clemson in 1979. His 26 tackles in a game remains an FBS record-tying effort
Ismail was a receiver, was named a first-team All-American twice. He earned consensus honors in 1989 and unanimous honors in 1990. Ismail was Walter Camp Player of the Year and Heisman Trophy runner-up in 1990, and he set NCAA record by twice returning two kickoffs for touchdowns in a single game (Rice 1988, Michigan 1989).
He finished with 4,187 all-purpose yards, led the nation in kickoff returns as freshman in 1988 with 36.1-yard average and helped the Irish to 1988 national championship.
Taylor was an offensive tackle, who was a two-time first-team All-America selection in 1992-93. He was a consensus pick in 1992 and a unanimous selection in 1993.
Taylor won the 1993 Lombardi Award and was named College Interior Lineman of the Year by Columbus (Ohio) Touchdown Club in 1993. He was a team captain in 1993, and he started 30 straight games to end his college career and helped his team in '93 win its first 10 games to reach the No. 1 ranking.
This is Crable's third time on the ballot (also in 2007 and 2010); it's Ismail's second straight appearance; and it's Taylor's first time on the ballot.
The Hall of Fame class will be announced May 7 and then inducted at the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame's Annual Awards Dinner Dec. 10 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City.

The piano looks as though it has seen better days. The action on the depressed B needs work. Also, the G needs an ivory replacement. I can only imagine how this roughed up instrument sounded!
As long as I've had wavy hair, I never got it to look like that.

Vatican Supports Stem Cell Initiative Led By University of Maryland School of Medicine
Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine are leading a new international research initiative, funded in part by the Vatican, to explore the therapeutic potential of intestinal stem cells. The International Intestinal Stem Cell Consortium will include scientists from several institutes in Italy as well as from the University of Maryland School of Medicine Center for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine.
The Vatican and the Istituto Superiore di Sanita, the Italian equivalent to the National Institutes of Health, announced the new partnership on April 23 at a news conference in Rome attended by University of Maryland School of Medicine officials. A followup news conference was held in Baltimore April 28.

"This new coalition brings together scientists from both sides of the Atlantic to ensure we are exploring every avenue of stem cell research in order to bring real treatments as quickly as possible to patients suffering from deadly conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis," says Alessio Fasano, MD, professor of pediatrics, medicine and physiology and director of the Mucosal Biology Research Center and the Center for Celiac Research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
"All of the partners have put a tremendous amount of energy and enthusiasm into putting this consortium together, and we are thankful to the Vatican for making this research possible," adds Fasano, who is coordinating the consortium and who appeared at the news conference in Rome.
In addition to scientists at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, the group will include researchers from the Istituto Superiore di Sanita, the University of Salerno in Fasano's hometown of Salerno, Italy, and the Bambin Gesý in Rome, the largest children's hospital in Europe.
The Vatican funding goes directly to the foundation of the Scuola Medica Salernitana, the University of Salerno's medical school, which will distribute it to the University of Maryland School of Medicine and the rest of the consortium's partners.
Fasano says researching stem cells found in the intestines is a promising area that has been largely neglected until now.
The ideal type of stem cells for medical use, says Fasano, has unlimited pluripotency - that is, the stem cells are virtual blank slates that can become any kind of cell, from heart cells to blood cells to skin cells to intestinal cells and so on. Embryonic stem cells and the newer induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are prized for their pluripotency, which makes them promising for use in treating a variety of health issues from heart disease and cancers.
Adult stem cells are not as pluripotent, but harvesting them from a patient's skin, muscle, bone marrow or intestine may be an important alternative, according to Fasano. "We just want to take advantage of what nature is already doing in the intestines," he says.
It is likely the first treatments that might result from the research would help patients with intestinal disorders such as celiac disease - Fasano's research specialty - an autoimmune disease with gastrointestinal symptoms.
Intestinal stem cells are highly active stem cells that support the shedding and replacing of all the cells in the intestinal lining once every four to seven days.
They are multipotent, already programmed to generate all the various kinds of cells - such as mucus cells and epithelial cells - necessary to line the 20-foot length of the intestine, a highly complex organ. Importantly, intestinal stem cells can be easily harvested using endoscopy, a simple procedure used regularly for intestinal biopsies.
As a result, patients could have their own intestinal cells harvested and used to treat bowel disease. If patients were to receive treatments using their own stem cells, there could be less risk of rejection or a reaction to the transplant, Dr. Fasano explains.
"These cells are very promising, at least on paper," he says. "To study this, though, takes multidisciplinary teams of experts in stem cell research, experts in gastrointestinal medicine, experts in molecular biology and bioengineering. We need all the pieces of the puzzle and we need to communicate freely, sharing our ideas and findings. That is what we will do with this consortium."
The group will work to answer two critical questions about intestinal stem cells. One mystery is how the cells can be kept alive and made to replicate in the laboratory. Another key question to be explored is how, once the cells are healthy and flourishing, scientists can induce them to transform into different types of cells.
If the laboratory research goes well, the consortium could move on to clinical research, testing intestinal stem cell treatments in patients.
"I am confident that this partnership will facilitate new discoveries about intestinal stem cells that also will lead us to a better understanding of all types of stem cells, their function and potential to treat disease," says Curt Civin, MD, professor of pediatrics, director of the Center for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine and associate dean for Research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
Civin, who also attended the news conference in Rome, says, "The University of Maryland Center for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine is dedicated to pursuing every promising avenue of stem cell science using multidisciplinary research partnerships between our faculty and the construction of core facilities to support all types of stem cell research. We hope this new funding will help us reach our goals."
"This international initiative is yet another example of the global footprint of the University of Maryland School of Medicine, which works in 23 countries around the world," says E. Albert Reece, MD, PhD, MBA, acting president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore and John Z. and Akiko K. Bowers Distinguished Professor and dean, University of Maryland School of Medicine. "It builds on our existing education and research partnership with the University of Salerno. We're delighted to have this opportunity to work more extensively with our Italian colleagues to advance science and medicine worldwide."

This addition complements the 10 litre 'jerry' can I bought. Exactly the same quality and expected serviceability that I used for many years in the British forces.
By Matt on 02/10/2012
This is a must edition and the locking system works well into the nossle of the can. It definitely works well to stop any drips etc. The connection to the can when not in use is ok although would prefer a tighter fit as if bouncing about a bit in the back of a van i'm sure it would come off but overall i'd say a must attachment if purchasing the can.

Steampunk is a fashion that always seems to live just around the corner; every time you think it's down to its last copper fitting, it peeks around the corner for another encore. Poland's Carlex Design, which will outfit anything from a Toyota Hilux to a Ferrari FF with sensuous leather and interior trimmings, is the latest to go the copper-toned way with a Mini Countryman.
Dubbed MiniSteam, this unique vehicle features a satin gray finish with blacked-out windows and lights and bronze detailing that pops all over, it's a crossover that H. G. Wells might have used when he tired of his time machine. Inside, things are ornate in the extreme: a tiny slice of brown wood on the center stack is surrounded by brightwork of copper hue and deep brown leather, the floor is hardwood, even the streering wheel gets twin bands of bronze, and the seats and wheel center cap are set off by insets of mechanical movements.
The Carlex website doesn't appear to have any detailed info on the sci-fi Mini, but if their other works are any indication, this will be expensive and exclusive. Have a closer look at it in the gallery of photos.
