A third-semester student in the Electromechanical Technology program at Chippewa Valley Technical College (CVTC) had a lucrative offer from a Bloomer company recently, Instructor Jon Brutlag told a group of Eau Claire Area Chamber of Commerce members Thursday. In exchange for a commitment to their company when he finished his studies, the company offered to foot the bill for the rest of the student's education.That's how sought-after CVTC graduates in the Electromechanical Technology program have become. Brutlag said the program has 100 percent placement into jobs paying more than $20 an hour, and local manufacturers can't get enough of them."They are recruiting down to the first-semester students now," Brutlag said.The Chamber members took tours of CVTC's manufacturing center at the Gateway campus following the Chamber Breakfast, hosted by the College to mark October as Manufacturing Month. The members heard a lot about industry's need for trained workers and CVTC's efforts to meet the demand.Tim Tewalt, an instructor in Industrial Maintenance, said CVTC's placement rate in that field was 96 percent, with 91 percent retention. The average salary for a worker after one year is over $39,000, he said, and the students are diverse, from 18 to 23-year-olds to people over 50."Sometimes people don't realize they're so brilliant. They get a chance and they just blossom," he said.Instructor Wade Latz spoke enthusiastically about the Machine Tooling Technics program and the high demand for program graduates."Last year, I could have placed 10 years' worth of graduates, in one year," he said.That can be looked upon as both good and bad news, Latz suggested. It's an example of the gap between available jobs and workers trained to do them, a nationwide problem."For our students, I'm excited. For our country, I'm concerned," Latz said.Along the tour, the Chamber members saw why manufacturing jobs require a higher level of training today than in past years. As Latz spoke, students behind him worked on sophisticated, computerized CNC machines. He later showed the visitors a drill bit one-third the diameter of a human hair.According to Latz, companies today are saying, "Workers have to have mechanical skills, math skills, engineering skills, and, by the way, we need more graduates."Some of the visitors were amazed at what they saw."This is fantastic! I love this stuff," said Paul Kohler of Charter Bank, one of the area's largest commercial lenders."I was just amazed. They really are on the cutting edge of technology," said Jeff Stevens of Chestnut Consulting.Others were more familiar with manufacturing, but still appreciative of the tour."I don't get to see this side very often," said Dana Heller of DCS Netlink, who works with many manufacturers. "Banking and manufacturing have a great need for technology. This is all about technology."Bob Sather of Ace Ethanol knows the value of CVTC graduates. He said his company hires Industrial Mechanics graduates, at about $23 an hour.Many were impressed with the work of the students, such as the displays shown by ElectroMechanical Technology Instructor Gary Johnson. A mini-bowling alley and a machine that plays a guitar were among the student projects shown. Johnson said that for the final semester advanced project, he just gives the students an object like a guitar and tells them to invent something to make it work.Those kinds of creative thinking skills impressed Heller, who knows what manufacturers are looking for."It's not just the technical skills, it's the soft skills too," he said.Listening to business and industry to find out what skills they need workers to have is what CVTC has been doing for a century, said President Bruce Barker in his opening remarks at the breakfast."Education needs to be aligned with business and industry," said Barker, who added that the latest studies show a need for more worker training, and more workers with vocational and technical degrees."The job market is changing dynamically, and CVTC is responding," noted Bill Hilgedick of Edward Jones, president of the Eau Claire Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors.

Why It's Romantic to Talk About Money on Valentine's Day
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's Valentines Day, and the living is uneasy for couples squabbling over money.
After all, who wants to spend a romantic, if manufactured, holiday fighting over that $200 Kate Spade purse you bought, or that new $250 driver that will upgrade your golf game?
Not to be a sour note on Cupid's big day, but studies show that money troubles are the primary driver of divorces in the U.S. these days.
According to one study , rising debt is the main reason couples fight -- and split up -- after getting married.In addition couples who fight over money once per week are 30% more likely to divorce than couples who don't. Fortunately for Cupid, and for married couples, there ware good ways to defuse financial stress and keep marriages healthy even when you do talk about money issues. According to Pamela Yellen, a national personal finance expert and New York Times best-selling author, talking turkey about money doesn't have to be the personal financial version of root canal. In fact, good "financial intimacy" can strengthen romantic relationships. "The solution is to sit down with your partner every month and go over your spending and savings plan," Yellen says. "Look at everything you bought during the past month and everything you're thinking of buying soon and ask yourselves, 'Is this really a need or a want?' Awareness is the key to taking control of your spending habits, and asking questions like this one is very powerful." To really pitch in, Yellen has come up with five steps in fueling financial intimacy that can reduce anxiety and enable couples to "save for their dreams."
- Talk before spending without your spouse's knowledge. Yellen advise setting parameters and strongly urges couples to get ahead of any issues. "Even if you don't always agree with your partner's spending habits, you can agree that any purchase over a certain amount, such as $200, will be discussed in advance," she says.
- Go all in on your golden years. Take the long view and discuss your retirement goals regularly -- a once-a-month conversation is fine. "Discuss when you both plan to retire and your plan for getting there," she says. Yellen says that about 40% of couples who responded to a survey she produced have not discussed their retirement plans in depth.
- Be equal partners. Yellen doesn't like financial "imbalance" in a relationship. "One of the biggest traps that leads couples into financial disharmony is when the partner with the biggest income makes the major financial decisions alone," she adds. "The solution: make all decisions about major purchases together."
- Quit making the credit card companies and banks rich. Yellen says couples should generate a plan to alleviate debt and "commit together to building an emergency fund to help you weather life's unexpected costs."
- Have a "Plan B." "What's your back-up plan if things change?" Yellen asks. "What if one partner loses their job? Or what if one partner wants to go back to school? What if one of you gets a job in another part of the country? Talk it over and come up with a plan together."

I love this rug more than anyone should love an inanimate object.
We bought 3 of these rugs in different sizes. The colors are great because it gives us a lot of flexibility with paint colors. We are using one for under our dining room table, one for the hall, and the other for the front door. This is not a plush rug, it is actually very thin, but it is soft. We love it!
I love this rug. I had been searching a very long time for a rug change to incorporate some new colors into my room without changing the furniture. This rug worked perfectly. The colors are perfect for what I needed. Description is spot on! It arrived very quickly too. I couldn't wait to put it down and I am just thrilled with this purchase!
I love what this rug has done for my living room! I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing such a bold floral print for my living room, but I am very glad I did. The colors are very pretty, more muted rust, red, brown, green and blue than bright. That said, this rug really brightens up the space and is very practical for a family with a small child and two dogs. The rug is thin, but very soft. I think it is perfect with a pad underneath. My two-year-old daughter loves the rug and wants everyone to roll around on the carpet all the time. It is a fun addition to the room.
This rug is gorgeous. It's soft underfoot, the colors are great, (and accurately represented in the photo), and it makes my living room look amazing. The price was phenomenal for the size and quality of the rug.
The colors on the rug are so vibrant! I love this rug! Perfect on my dark hardwood floors.
I've had this rug for a year now in a heavily used area of my home (family room adjacent to kitchen). It has held up remarkably well despite lots of foot traffic. I haven't noticed any fading of the colors or pulling out of any of the fibers of the rug at all. I get compliments on it often! The colors are even warmer to me than pictured on my computer screen. I was worried about going with such a bold print with so many colors, but have never regretted the decision. It has been fun to use the colors in the carpet to coordinate accessories in the room. Don't think twice, you won't regret this purchase!!
Love the colors in the rug. Works well under my dining room table and adds additional colors to decorate with!
I have to say, everyone had me really nervous about this rug being so thin so i bought the super thick rug pad to go with it. Even if i hadn't, i would have been perfectly happy with! i was seriously left w the impression that this was was going to be like laying a table cloth on my floor. lol. it's FINE!!!!! it's a $XXX rug! what do you want for that kind of price??? for the cost, the rug is amazing!! beautiful! colors are as described. there were some creases and lines left when unrolled but i misted them w a water bottle and a couple weeks later they are completely gone. highly recommend!! i will be looking for more, similar rugs for the rest of my house!
I love this rug!! It is totally outside of my decorating comfort zone but I am so glad I took the plunge. The flowers are big and bold. The color was slightly less bright than what is shown on the picture, but I love the way it looks in my room. The rug is soft on the feet, not too cushiony but I ordered the rug pad to go underneath and that was a good investment.

I hate Jenny's swine flu and infectuous face.
Jenny's face is so infectuous, and swineful. We need to work together to put a stop to this. She cannot keep parading around the town like a nasty face slut. Seriously, protect your children!! If you value your own self worth, you will not allow her to infect the state of our well being. Our lives are at risk here people!! If this infectuous face gets loose again, we will have an epidemic! This is worse than the swine flu that she will spread. Run my friends, or sign this petition to rid of this Beef Stain. Thank you for your time and consideration.

BADJ Day 19: So much stuff…
Nineteen days have gone… WOW! After getting full speed ahead for a number of days, I had a stop for a day… domestic stuff kicked in. A lot of work was finished in those quick days though.
With all physics and blit done, I went straight ahead into coding the level. First task was to look at what I had done previously and finding out… it would be easier to just start over, which I did! One very cool thing is that a Finite State Machine class I wrote earlier really proved its worth and is the base for all stuff in the level. I really have to go through how the level code is structured as soon as the dust settles down since right now a lot can change and it will probably make no sense.
One thing I had to change was the Manager class. Remember I mentioned a dependency to a specific class that put all in motion. That is easier to manage now.
But the really cool thing I did today was to quickly test a console class! I used Junkbyte's Console 2.4 and I just love it! With it we will be able to change a lot of aspects in the game without recompiling.
What is happening right now? Visually? Not much, there's a circle representing Bruce on screen. Code wise there's a lot of stuff going on. For starters all the level classes (controller, factory, scene, blit, physics, etc) are created and doing their thing, so it's just a matter of adding features to it. The state management system is just beautiful and it will save tons of work!
What is missing? Graphics and stuff getting kicked!

We tested for:
Please note: this information was current as of August 2006 but is still a useful guide to today's market. For more recent information, see our newest Cots review.
# Discontinued.
Receive FREE email updates of our latest tests, consumer news and CHOICE marketing promotions.
From November 1, 2006 all cots must comply with the current Australian Standard (AS 2172:2003) which was amended in January 2006. We believe this updated Standard is more stringent and therefore safer. Two cots, the BERTINI and BABYHOOD models, failed to make the new requirements.
* Update: The manufacturers of the KINGPARROT and IKEA cots have advised us that these cots have been updated since our test and they now meet the requirements of the 2003 standard.
# Discontinued. * Maximum dimensions when in use, rounded up to the nearest cm. ** Average or recommended retail price as advised by manufacturers in July/August 2006, or the price we paid. (A) Discontinued; replaced by new model, the Stirling XT 091122, RRP $450. This includes a junior bed conversion kit. (B) Discontinued; replaced by new model with the same name, which includes a new base to allow conversion to junior bed. (C) Discontinued; new model available in October, with the same name but different dropside. 1 Passed all essential safety and durability requirements – The requirements in the latest (2003) standard were used as the basis for evaluating the cots for safety and durability (design and construction). This standard becomes mandatory (instead of the older, slightly less rigorous standard) on 1 November 2006. 2 Information and other requirements – To fully meet the 2003 standard, cots also need to meet certain requirements about informative labelling, packaging, markings, toys included and transfers. Only the GRO-YEARS met all of these as well as all passing the safety and durability tests. 3 Dropside mechanism – How the dropside is operated: by slide buttons, pushbuttons, levers or lift and push. Try dropsides out in the shop — different people prefer different mechanisms. 4 Teething strips – This is a plastic strip on the wooden edge(s) of the cot so that neither the baby nor the cot is damaged if they chew on it.
Models profiled here are in the What to buy listed in rank order. Prices are recommended retail as advised by manufacturers in July/August 2006.
Price: $449 Good points
Bad points
Price: $350 Good points

Price: $459 Good points

Price: $500 Good points
* Update 11/07: Boori, the manufacturer of the KINGPARROT, has since advised us that the labelling of this cot has been updated and that it now meets the requirements of the 2003 standard.
Price: $599 Good points
Price: $600 Good points
Price: $525 Good points
This is a quick checklist of what to look out for when you're buying a cot. Take a tape measure with you.
It's generally recommended you don't buy a secondhand cot. Secondhand and heirloom cots can be a hazard to children:

V-Drums V-Compact Series
Roland's most affordable entry into the famous V-Drums family now comes with a mesh-head snare pad. This great-feeling V-Pad is an addition to the pre-existing kit configuration, which means drummers now get an extra pad to use as another tom! In addition to the great price and new snare pad, the TD-3KV stands out with its TD-3 drum module. Packed with great sounds, this friendly brain has Rhythm Coach training features and ambience effects built in.
*Drum stand and kick pedal not included. Connection cables not shown only for photography purposes.
* For more information about full lineup of V-Drums series, please visit www.V-Drums.com.
V-Drums quality at an affordable price — that's what drummers get with the TD-3KV. Now that Roland provides an extra mesh snare pad (PD-85BK) with the kit, the rubber pad (PD-8) that was previously used for snare can be used as a tom. In total, the new TD-3KV provides a mesh snare, three toms, one kick, one hi-hat, two cymbal pads, and hardware. (Kick pedal and throne not included.)
With Roland's enhanced Rhythm Coach built into the TD-3 module (included with kit), drummers can improve their timing, speed, and endurance using several rhythm-training exercises. Best of all, the exercises are fun and effective. There's even a human-voice metronome feature onboard, so you can play along with an audible click that "tells" you exactly where you are within each bar!

Marc Faber's Anticipated Correction May Be Upon Us — Then, the Crackup Boom
by Michael Bogan Beacon Equity
Marc Faber, Swiss money manager and editor of the Gloom Boom Doom report, said on Bloomberg television a "correction is overdue." After yesterday's dismal performance in stocks, the awaited Faber correction, with all major averages off more than 1.5%, may be upon us.
He stated his expectation for a pullback on the October 26 edition of Bloomberg's "InBusiness" segment when the S&P 500 stood at 1185. After climbing as high as 1227.08 on Nov. 5, the broader measure of the U.S. stock market has since retreated to 1178.34 at Tuesday's close.
"We are in the inflation trade again," he said to Bloomberg's "InBusiness" hostess, Margret Brennan, noting "a weak dollar, strong precious metal prices, strong equity prices especially in emerging markets and now in frontier markets, plus strong industrial commodities."
"So, I think a correction is overdue," he asserted.
With more than 95% of all stocks on the S&P trading down for the day, the sell off was a wholesale one. Broad-based selling of this magnitude, though not in price percentage terms, suggests the "inflation trade" that Faber spoke of, is unwinding.
Invariably comes the question: At what level is it safe again to buy? Faber weighs in with suspicions of a Federal Reserve intervention, at an important technical level, if stocks decline too far.

Ever since the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion, California employers hoped this day would come. In a predictable result, the California Supreme Court today acknowledged that class action waivers in employment arbitration agreements are enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA). In so doing, the Court overruled its 2007 decision in Gentry v. Superior Court which effectively had barred class action waivers for wage and hour cases. But the Court's 6-1 plurality decision also bolstered an alternate method for bringing Labor Code claims in court by declaring that actions brought under the Private Attorneys General Act (Labor Code § 2968 et seq.) are not waivable by private agreement and thus not subject to compelled arbitration.

Try, Try Again: The California Supreme Court Sends "Fundamentally Flawed" Duran Case Back to the Trial Court
Employment class action defendants in California who were hoping for an unequivocal statement that statistical sampling has no place in class actions are likely to be disappointed by today's ruling in Duran v. U.S. Bank, N.A. The California Supreme Court cautiously left all avenues to certification open, stating that a "[s]tatistical sampling may provide an appropriate means of proving liability and damages in some wage and hour class actions." (Emphasis added.) But despair not! The bulk of the opinion agreed with the court of appeal in finding the trial court's methods "profoundly flawed," recognized the "thorny" issues of proof that arise in misclassification cases, and reaffirmed a court's obligation to consider the manageability of individual issues in certifying a class action. The Court's instructions to lower courts and litigants to determine – as an integral part of class certification – whether the case can be manageably tried are likely to aid employers in certification battles to come.

Unpaid, but Not Unprotected: New York City Extends Human Rights Law to Protect Interns
As reported by us in recent blog articles (Do as I Say, Not as I Do: Differences in Duties Means No Commonality, No Class Certification for Unpaid Interns and The High Cost of Hiring Unpaid Interns), employment issues surrounding unpaid interns are on the rise. While the bulk of the debate has centered on wage-and-hour issues, some have argued that interns should be afforded the same protections from workplace discrimination and harassment as employees. New York City has now adopted that view. Read More
Paid in Singles for a Shot at the Big Leagues: Former Minor Leaguers Sue MLB for Wage-and-Hour Violations
Spring training is just around the corner and major leaguers have already reported to their first workout. Meanwhile, an interesting development–three former minor leaguers have filed a lawsuit against Major League Baseball, Bud Selig, and three MLB teams, claiming that the MLB has failed to pay overtime and minimum wages in violation of the FLSA and various state labor laws. According to the plaintiffs, the MLB "has a long, infamous history of labor exploitation dating to its inception" by hoarding players, depressing salaries, and preventing unionization of the minor leagues. See Complaint, Senne v. MLB, No. 3:14-cv-00608-JCS (N.D. Cal. Feb. 7, 2014), ECF No. 1. The case is presently before Magistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero. Read More
NLRB Continues to Hold Firm on D.R. Horton Reasoning Despite Contrary Decisions in the Courts
Despite increasing rejection of the NLRB's controversial D.R. Horton decision by almost all federal courts which have considered it, an NLRB administrative law judge recently felt there was no choice but to follow Board precedent and so applied and affirmed its holding. These cases illustrate the growing divide between the NLRB and courts over the D.R. Horton decision and the growing trend of federal courts refusing to uphold its enforcement. Read More
A Welcome 'Waive' of Second Circuit Cases: Class Action Waivers Deemed Enforceable
For the better part of the last decade, the Second Circuit routinely and consistently struck down class action waivers in arbitration provisions. As recently as March 2011, the Second Circuit appeared to have brought down the hammer even further, by stating in In Re: American Express Merchants' Litigation ("AmEx") that a mandatory arbitration provision—even one that includes an express "class action waiver"—is unenforceable to the extent it "effectively precludes any action seeking to vindicate [plaintiff's] statutory rights."

You Can't Get Paid for Sleeping on the Job
Employees who live in employer-provided housing as part of their job may not so easily claim wages for 24-hour periods of work under California's Wage Orders, according to a recent opinion, Mendiola v. CPS Security Solutions, Inc., Case No. B245019 (July 3, 2013). Mendiola involved a class of security guards who were employed at various constructions sites across California. On weekdays, the guards were scheduled from 5:00 to 7:00 a.m. and from 3:00 to 9:00 p.m. On weekends the guards patrolled from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. From 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. on weekends and weekdays, the guards were to remain on call at the construction site where they were provided trailer residences for their exclusive use during the on-call time.

The Buck Stops Here!: Gristedes Foods CEO May Be Personally Liable for FLSA Claims
Last week, in Irizarry v. Catsimatidis, Docket No. 11-4035-cv (July 9, 2013), the Second Circuit held that Gristedes Foods CEO—and current NYC mayoral candidate—John Catsimatidis faces personal liability for settlement payments of FLSA claims against his company. The Court determined that Catsimatidis' active participation in the operation of the company qualified him as an "employer" under the FLSA and could therefore lead to personal liability. Read More

The behavior of ORAC-DR is entirely controlled by the command line
options entered at startup. From that point on, the system either
takes its reduction recipe instructions from the file headers (this is
the default) or uses a hardwired recipe given on the command line
itself. The recipe is, in fact, the only allowed parameter on the
command line - all the rest are options. Once you start an instance of
oracdr up, there is no further control over it; this is a considerable
change from the situation with CGS4DR, for example, where the same
package remains up once you start it, and changes are made within the
package. Corollary: if the pipeline fails to find a required
calibration frame, for example, the only logical thing for it to do is
exit cleanly, telling you why it did so. There is no control from
within the pipeline. Note that once the full ORAC system is available,
there will be plenty of pre-checking that your calibration frames will
indeed exist and be appropriate. Until that point, the behavior of
the system is logical if you understand the underlying philosophy and
do not expect to be able to control the pipeline in real time.

HP Gets Earnings Beat but Takes Autonomy Hit (Update 3)
Updated with additional conference call comments from HP CEO Meg Whitman on Autonomy.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- HP (HPQ) beat Wall Street's earnings estimates in its fourth-quarter results on Tuesday, but missed analysts' top-line forecasts.
The company's purchase of U.K. software maker Autonomy last year has been thrust into the spotlight, however, as HP recorded a non-cash charge of around $8.8 billion related to the deal.
"The majority of this impairment charge is linked to serious accounting improprieties, disclosure failures and outright misrepresentations at Autonomy Corporation plc that occurred prior to HP's acquisition of Autonomy and the associated impact of those improprieties, failures and misrepresentations on the expected future financial performance of the Autonomy business over the long-term," explained HP, in a statement released before market open.The company's shares tumbled 9.55% in premarket trading to $12.03 on the news. "These improprieties were discovered through an internal investigation after a senior member of Autonomy's management team came forward following the departure of

text: Introduction On-Time Quality Improvement Manual for Long-Term Care Facilities The On-Time Quality Improvement Program is a practical approach to quality improvement (QI) in long-term care, embedding QI strategies and best practices into health information technology (Health IT). The On-Time QI for Long-Term Care Program (On-Time) was developed with funding from the Federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), in collaboration with the California Health Care Foundation (CHCF), New York Department of Health, California Department of Public Health, Quality Improvement Organizations (QIOs) in the District of Columbia and California, and more than 75 nursing homes across the United States.On-Time focuses on:Leveraging the documentation and knowledge of Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) staff, who serve as primary informants to licensed staff.Supporting clinical decisionmaking based on best practice guidelines through use of Health IT in routine practice.Establishing practices for proactive risk identification and early intervention as part of frontline caregivers' daily work.Providing ongoing feedback on process and outcomes to frontline teams.While pressure ulcer prevention is the initial clinical area of focus, AHRQ is applying the On-Time approach to other clinical areas, such as falls prevention and management, pressure ulcer healing, and prevention of emergency department and inpatient hospital transfers.Return to ContentsChallenges of Improving Pressure Ulcer Prevention Practices in Nursing HomesPressure ulcer incidence and prevalence remain high among nursing home residents despite much effort to create and implement guidelines for prediction and prevention of ulcers (e.g., AHRQ guidelines on prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers, American Medical Directors' Association guidelines to prevent pressure ulcers). Pressure ulcers, defined as "any lesion caused by unrelieved pressure resulting in damage of underlying tissue," are a serious and common problem in frail and elderly adults.1 Pressure ulcers cause pain and disfigurement, interfere with activities of daily living, and are associated with longer hospital stays and increased rates of morbidity and mortality.2 In long-term care facilities, reported rates of pressure ulcer incidence range from 2.2 percent to 23.9 percent3 and prevalence rates range from 2.3 percent to 28 percent.4Every year, pressure ulcers affect more than 1 million acute care and nursing home patients. More than $355 million is spent annually on pressure ulcer treatment in long-term care settings.2,3,5 The cost of pressure ulcers is high, projected between $1.3 billion and $6.8 billion,1,6,7 and ulcers have serious consequences: resident morbidity, mortality, and loss of quality of life. Additional costs are associated with liability and litigation. While the financial costs associated with pressure ulcers are high, the human toll of pain, depression, altered self-image, stress, infection, and increased morbidity and mortality is immeasurable.Efforts focused on reducing pressure ulcer incidence are common. Despite knowledge about how to prevent pressure ulcers in nursing homes, rarely have improvement efforts integrated tools or resources needed to support implementation efforts into everyday practice within a nursing home. Too often, practice improvements are designed and implemented without thinking through how they will be integrated efficiently with existing staff workflow and documentation processes.Return to ContentsPurpose of the On-Time QI ManualThis manual is an introduction to the On-Time QI approach. It provides an overview of the tools and process improvements and describes the implementation process. Target users are stakeholders interested in nursing home QI (e.g., departments of health, Quality Improvement Organizations), nursing home leaders responsible for deciding QI priorities, and nursing home personnel responsible for quality improvement. In each section, we highlight areas to note: On-Time tools, process improvement key action steps, implementation tips, and quotes from teams who have implemented On-Time.

4 of my bleeding heart tetras have some whitening on their fins and one has a white patch on his body. My best guess would be a fun fungus? I had had my tank for 2 months now. I do weekly 10 gallons water changes/vacuuming in my 55 gallon ta k. I also have some algae eaters, loach, 3 gouramis, 5 neons tetras and they have no issues. Please help me. Oh my water temp was 75 and I slowly bumped it up to 80 today. Thank you!! Sorry if the photos don't work or posted doubles I am on my phoneAttachment 27547

I have had something similar hit my rummynoses before. I used some Maracyn and it worked very well, just remember to remove any carbon from your filter before you do it because I think the carbon will negate any effects. It was too late for a couple of them but the infection stopped spreading immediately. Good Luck.
Your attachments don't work. Whitening around the edges of the fins is fin rot, not a fungus, and it's often caused by poor water quality. You need to change more than 10 gallons each week. Do you test the water parameters, what are the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels? The best thing to cure fin rot is clean water. I would start with a 50% water change and continue that every few days and see if the fish start getting better.When I go fishing I just place a sharp rock in the water and sit there waiting for all the dead fish to float to the top... Kingfisher
Brutal honesty will be shown on this screen.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Tolerance is a great thing to have, so is the ability to shut up.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
also - your ammonia should read 0, nitrites 0 and nitrates less than 20. If you don't have an API liquid test kit, you need to get one and check your water perimeters weekly until they are stable. any time ammonia and or nitrites approach .50 and nitrates exceed 20ppm you need a large water change.

Mommy1 +1! (can't give a rep point! Again, my system is not working right! This is getting to be a drag.)
If your water is getting bad with only weekly changes of 10 gal and larger water changes are not fesaible (more like 50% as Mommy1 say's), consider an algae filter. This will help (but never replace ... well, not totally true - there have been closed systems based on these but that is a whole other tpoic) keep the tank cleaner. Even if you can do larger changes, still consider these units - they work really well when combined with regular filters and water changes.

The start of the 2011 Formula 1 season had to be delayed. The first race was to be held in Bahrain on March 13. However because of the internal political situation Bahrain's Crown Prince informed the Formula 1 administration that they would be unable to host that race. No change has been made to the rest of the 2011 Formula 1 calendar and the first race will now be the Qantas Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on March 27.
The biggest news ahead of the Australian Grand Prix is that McLaren have made last minute upgrades to their 2011 car. Those who are familiar with the technical aspects may find it interesting to learn that these changes are mainly to the car's exhaust and floor. McLaren hopes that these changes will result in an improvement of one second per lap. Whitmarsh of McLaren said, "We have made some fairly dramatic changes …. There's some risk in that, but I think it was the right thing to do and we're hoping that risk comes off and that the car is a lot more competitive." However punters at online betting sites are not that convinced and the odds of McLaren winning the 2011 Constructors Championship have lengthened to 7.00 at Bet365.com.
Detailed Markets for the Australian Grand Prix have also opened up at Bet365.com. The Formula 1 market is not listed directly in the main menu in the Bet365.com betting site, but falls under the category of Motor Sports. Apart from the outright winner of the Australian Grand Prix, odds are offered for fastest qualifier, podium finish and fastest lap. Vettel is the favorite to win the Australian Grand Prix with odds of 3.00. He is also the current favorite for the 2011 Drivers Championship with odds of 3.25.
The online betting site Bet365.com also offers some interesting bets for the 2011 season. One such bet is the Season Match Bet. Players have to predict which from the given pair of drivers will finish higher up in the final season rankings. In the match bet between Vettel and Webber, Vettel has odds of 1.28 and Webber has odds of 3.50. Another bet is the number of season race wins for each driver. The odds are offered in an under/over format. The odds for Vettel winning under 4.5 races are 2.20 and the odds for him winning over 4.5 races are 1.61.

Biogeochemical cycles in estuaries are regulated by a diverse set of physical and biological variables that operate over a variety of time scales. Using in situ optical sensors, we conducted a high-frequency time-series study of several biogeochemical parameters at a mooring in central Long Island Sound from May to August 2010. During this period, we documented well-defined diel cycles in nitrate concentration that were correlated to dissolved oxygen, wind stress, tidal mixing, and irradiance. By filtering the data to separate the nitrate time series into various signal components, we estimated the amount of variation that could be ascribed to each process. Primary production and surface wind stress explained 59 and 19 %, respectively, of the variation in nitrate concentrations. Less frequent physical forcings, including large-magnitude wind events and spring tides, served to decouple the relationship between oxygen, nitrate, and sunlight on about one quarter of study days. Daytime nitrate minima and dissolved oxygen maxima occurred nearly simultaneously on the majority (>80 %) of days during the study period; both were strongly correlated with the daily peak in irradiance. Nighttime nitrate maxima reflected a pattern in which surface-layer stocks were depleted each afternoon and recharged the following night. Changes in nitrate concentrations were used to generate daily estimates of new primary production (182 ± 37 mg C m−2 day−1) and the f ratio (0.25), i.e., the ratio of production based on nitrate to total production. These estimates, the first of their kind in Long Island Sound, were compared to values of community respiration, primary productivity, and net ecosystem metabolism, which were derived from in situ measurements of oxygen concentration. Daily averages of the three metabolic parameters were 1,660 ± 431, 2,080 ± 419, and 429 ± 203 mg C m−2 day−1, respectively. While the system remained weakly autotrophic over the duration of the study period, we observed very large day-to-day differences in the f ratio and in the various metabolic parameters.

Shoppers, on your mark!
Stave off the turkey coma, because Black Friday deals are coming early this year.
Several stores have extended their hours for the biggest shopping day of the year to include Thanksgiving day.
Belk at Oak Hollow Mall opens at midnight tonight, three hours earlier than last year. The store is giving away gift cards to the first 250 people in line, and one card is worth $1,000.
Target at Oak Hollow Mall also is opening its doors earlier this year, at 9 tonight, compared to their midnight opening last year.
"We are ready," said store team leader Gerren Grayer. "(Wednesday night) my team will convert the store to our Black Friday layout, which will prominently display TVs, small appliances and clothes."
According to the National Retail Federation, up to 147 million people plan to shop Black Friday weekend, a slight decrease from the 152 million who planned to do so last year.
"Though the Black Friday tradition is here to stay, there's no question that it has changed in recent years; already there is a tremendous amount of excitement and anticipation surrounding retailers' Thanksgiving and Black Friday promotions," said NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay in a release. "It's critical for retail companies to constantly evolve as consumers do, and right now shoppers want great deals, good value, and convenience — exactly what we're seeing with this season's late and early openings, price-matching, layaway, and mobile offerings."
