The Getches-Wilkinson Center for Natural Resources, Energy, and the Environment and its partners welcome you to this free-access website of Best Management Practices (BMPs) for oil and gas development in the Intermountain West. BMPs are state-of-the-art mitigation measures applied to oil and natural gas drilling and production to help ensure that energy development is conducted in an environmentally responsible manner (see the Bureau of Land Management BMP website).
The focus
of this website is a searchable database addressing surface resources
affected by oil and gas development. The database includes both
mandatory and voluntary Best Management Practices currently in use or recommended
for responsible resource management in the states of Colorado,
Montana, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming.
BMP database is not intended to represent a consensus on what
the best practices are for specific applications nor to advise
users on the current legal requirements for specific locations.
Rather, the database describes each practice and documents the
source of the practice (who requires or recommends it in what
specific applications). The database provides a link to the source
of the BMP and, where possible, it provides supplemental information,
including construction specifications, illustrations, pictures,
maps, monitoring reports, and evaluations of the potential of
the practice for mitigating impacts of development. Because practices
change over time, database users should check with appropriate
authorities to verify the latest requirements and recommendations
for your area.

The Intermountain BMP project recently released a comparative legal database for water quantity regulations pertaining to oil and gas development. High-volume hydraulic fracturing, as a new use of water; the amount of water consumed; and the timing of water usage has raised concerns in arid regions or areas experiencing water shortages. It must be noted, however, across the United States as a whole, the average amount of water used for hydraulic fracturing is minimal compared to traditional uses of water by municipalities and agriculture.
This dataset captures laws and regulations addressing the amount of water used in oil and gas development, including water administration systems, reporting requirements and disposal methods — all of which provide a more accurate picture of the life cycle of water use in the hydraulic fracturing process. Laws and regulations examined across the 13 states require those drilling to identify the physical source of water used for development, submit a water plan, and to identify the amount of water used during completion of the well, the amount of water that flows to the surface after hydraulic fracturing, and the volume of disposed water. The laws and regulations also address how surface and groundwater rights are obtained and whether the state distinguishes types of surface water and groundwater.
This is the second comparative legal database released by the Intermountain BMP project. The previous database covered water quality issues.
The Intermountain BMP Project is a work in progress. Currently,
the database includes BMPs for a variety of resources (see the
BMP Categories section) from a range of source documents (see
the Bibliography), including project Environmental Impact Statements,
Resource Management Plans, state wildlife agency guidelines, and
industry and conservation group reports and websites.
The structure and content of this website is being developed
in conjunction with project partners and advisors from government,
industry, the conservation community, academia and landowners.

Space Does Not Work That Way. Hollywood is not interested in teaching or even researching physics, and generally doesn't even depict normal explosions on Earth accurately, so it's no surprise that explosions in space rely on Rule of Cool rather than science. In the movies, explosions in space work pretty much the same way explosions on Earth would (or rather the way film-makers imagine they would, with lots of red flames and smoke). In reality, space has no air to transfer the explosive energy to. Thus, explosions would have an initial brilliant flash, and the resulting spherical fireball and debris would travel away from the point of explosion far too fast for the eye to see. Nuclear explosions would be similar, but with a much brighter flash, and little or no visible debris since it would be vaporized. Explosions in vacuum on the surface of a planet, moon, asteroid etc. will look similar to those in zero-g, but any debris that does not achieve escape velocity in the local gravity field will arc back down and rain to the surface. In low gravity, this could take minutes or even hours. Further, if a spacecraft blows up, the explosion should have the same velocity as the craft did (possibly altered by the velocity of whatever hit it). I.e., the boom should keep moving. Many movies and shows have a fast-moving craft turn into a stationary explosion (relative to the camera). Above all, explosions in vacuum would be silent. In many cases, this is caused by the method of special effects: actual pyrotechnics in an atmosphere. It should be noted that this is generally considered an Acceptable Break From Reality by the majority of the audience. Many Hollywood Explosions in Space will also include a Planar Shockwave. This is such an ubiquitous trope that only aversions and subversions should be listed.

ROTC programs that had been set to close at three Tennessee colleges are getting some time to improve, in hopes of better meeting the Army's needs.
East Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech and UT Martin were all set to close their military officer training units.
Now, Senator Lamar Alexander says the Army will give them two years, while it reviews its plans.
This is a major victory for students on these campuses at programs that have produced some of our nation's most outstanding military leaders.
Tennessee would have been the hardest hit state in last month's wave of closures, with three of the 13 such programs set to be shuttered nationally.

The result of international architectural competition for the Basel Zoo Ozeanium has been decided: the winning project is called 'Seacliff'' and comes from Boltshauser Architekten Zurich. 'Seacliff' particularly impressed the jury with its understated architecture and compact above-ground building space.
In February 2012, 55 teams bid to construct Basel Zoo's planned Ozeanium on Heuwaage. From these three-part teams, consisting of an architectural firm, an aquarium designer and a general planner, 15 teams were selected to develop a project for the 'Ozeanium' anonymous architectural competition. The participants were given until 2nd October 2012 to shape their proposals for this large inner-city aquarium. The competition jury, consisting of representatives from the cantonal Construction and Transport Department, Basel Zoo representatives and several architects, has now reached a decision: project 'Seacliff' by Boltshauser Architekten Zurich is the best fit for Heuwaage and the zoo.
High quality from all competition participants
"All in all, the entries submitted were at an extremely high level and represented a wide range of interesting proposed solutions for the task and location at hand", explained jury member and Basel canton master builder Fritz Schumacher. "However, the restrained architectural language chosen by the winning project 'Seacliff' was the best match for the public image cultivated by Basel Zoo. Under this proposal the above-ground building space on the Heuwaage site is smaller than for other competition entries, thus also offering the best solution from an urban development perspective." The jury also liked the winning project's clay and trass lime façade and the optimal use of the available space.
The project in second place, 'Watergate' by HHF + Burckhardt Partner, suggested organising the entire above-ground Ozeanium as a monolithic slanting structure with a small footprint. With nine floors it was the tallest of all the projects submitted, and would have dominated the Heuwaage area with its size and architectural character. The third-placed project 'Blue Cave' by Zaha Hadid was excellent quality from an architectural point of view, but the visitor aisles were relatively thin in many areas and the dynamic styling of the building's interior would have been in competition with the aquariums. The jury selected a building which fitted Basel Zoo. For decades the zoo has been endeavouring to make use of reticent architecture that does not compete with the animals in any way.
Giant octopuses in Basel from 2019
"The Ozeanium will link the Steinenvorstadt, Heuwaage, nightingale grove and zoo locations in the best possible way. With opening hours right into the night it will transform Heuwaage into a lively meeting place and perfectly complement Basel Zoo", was the happy judgement of Basel Zoo director Olivier Pagan. "We estimate that the construction of this energy-efficient building and its operational facilities will require investment of 60 to 80 million Swiss francs". The next step is to create a preliminary project as the basis for a development plan, which will then be submitted to the Basel city
parliament for a vote. Basel Zoo is likely to be able to begin construction work on the large aquarium in 2016. "If everything goes to plan, from 2019 onwards visitors to our Ozeanium will be immersed in a fascinating environment of coral reefs, sharks, giant octopuses and luminous marine organisms", according to Thomas Jermann, Basel Zoo's Ozeanium project manager. "This large Basel aquarium will give us humans a greater insight into the hidden environment of the ocean, thus promoting an appreciation and understanding of one of the most important ecosystems on our planet."
Exhibition in Messe Basel
All architectural competition projects will be on display in Messe Basel from 8th to 16th December 2012. The exhibition will be open Mondays to Fridays 4pm to 8pm, and Saturdays and Sundays 10am to 6pm. A public preview will be held on 7th December at 5pm. The exhibition can be found on the ground floor in Hall 3, underneath the car park.

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun

Although the terms DJ and turntablist are used almost interchangeably, Immortal takes care to stress the distinction between the two. "I was never into just playing records," he says, outlining the difference. "A DJ plays records. A turntablist plays the turntable. It doesn't matter what record is on there," he says with a tell-tale rhythmic cadence. "A turntablist will manipulate the record with his hands and his mind and make his own sound and actually play the turntable like a guitar or a flute.
"When I first started, I wasn't good. It took years and years of practice to learn the hard scratch patterns. It's easy stuff once you master it. Like this scratch right here, it looks easy, it sounds cool," he says as he fires off four quick rips in rapid succession -- whaa-whaa-whaa-whaa -- capping it off with a long, tweaky whaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! (Imagine one of the grownups' voices from Charlie Brown inhaling helium and cackling like a nut job.) "But that took me years to figure out," he explains, "because I didn't know what I was looking for."
After high school, Immortal went on to study audio engineering at the Full Sail recording school in Orlando and joined with fellow students Scorponok, Spy-tek, K-razor, and I-emerge to form the Fader Ballistix turntablist crew. This June, he and Scorponok plan to open their own Margate recording studio called Reverse Polarity. The group is completing work on Condom Breaks, a scratch record packed with samples, sound effects, and beats designed for turntablists to rip up. Immortal's solo debut, Hard to Obtain, was released last October, demonstrating exactly what he had been looking for.
Though weighed heavily with samples, Hard to Obtain's fluid beats are too liquid, soft, and slow to be overbearing. In fact, "The Way of the Intercepting Fist" lays down martial-arts-flick dialogue ("be soft like water and flexible...") atop cooing female voices gliding along the trip-hop train track. Bizarre juxtapositions abound, such as 1950s a cappella doo-wop colliding with sitar and Indian ragas or the Terminator 2 sound bites, vocodered voices, Hindu chants, steamy fuzz-guitar, subtle scratching, and bits of the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody" that make up "Other."
When the hip-hop enthusiast isn't in the studio developing new sounds or recording new material, he's polishing routines for competition. He began battling four years ago and enters up to 20 contests per year all over the East Coast.
Immortal reigned supreme at the Beyond 2002 Super Festival's turntablist championship in Miami in April -- his second win this year. Among other competitions he's swept: Mixwell Fader Masters Open winner 2002, B-Boy Pro-Am winner 2000 and 2001, Break Fest winner 2000 and 2001, Power Movements 2001, and Zulu Anniversary 2001. This placement has given Immortal the opportunity to bust some crossover moves on the skate-rat crowd: he'll soon release a remix album of '90s alt-rock anthems, twisting Nirvana, 311, Sublime, and No Doubt into a hip-hopping hybrid. He practices the jeet kune do martial art and even incorporates Bruce Lee exhortations into his tunes.
"I can play any record I want and it will always be hip-hop -- because I'm hip-hop. So I can do anything I want because hip-hop's me, just my expression," boasts Immortal. "I'm a student of hip-hop -- learning new cuts, listening to new beats, listening to new DJs and artists, and learning from them every day, learning about break dance, graffiti. So I would definitely consider what I'm doing hip-hop."
Then why doesn't it sound like hip-hop? After all, the club kids know Immortal as the crazy DJ mixing all the beats with classic rock. "I throw on some Jimi Hendrix, and then I'll throw on some Queen," he cites as an example. "That's what I'm kind of known for, taking it to the extreme. I try to play Russian roulette with the crowd, [seeing] how far can I take these people out there before they walk out of there."
The vinyl-manipulating wizard attempts to defuse the myth that hip-hop and rap are one and the same. "That's one of the biggest misconceptions in music history," he frowns. That misinformation, Immortal contends, unfairly emphasizes lyrical skills over the technological innovation of decks and mixers -- not to mention the other social signifiers that are pillars of the hip-hop genre.
"Hip-hop is your state of mind -- the way you walk, the way you talk, the way you dress, the way you look, the way you communicate -- just your whole vibe," insists Immortal. "Hip-hop's the whole culture that emerged in the late '70s with graffiti and scratching and break dancing -- that's hip-hop. There were all these expressionist art forms all these kids were doing, [like] graffiti and DJing. The graffiti writers and DJs didn't even hang out. It was completely two different things, but it was all hip-hop, and that's when everybody stood up and defined a culture. And it was a mixture of these different elements -- break dancing, beat boxing, DJing -- kind of like a little Olympics. We got our own sports we taught ourselves. So that's hip-hop.

Through these striking images Burtynsky unveils the seldom seen side of oil production, and documents the existing effects of oil on our lives. His depictions of landscapes shaped by its extraction are exhibited alongside the sprawling evidence of its manufactured produce.
Presenting a modern-day "life-cycle" of the fuel that continues to shape the political and physical world, Burtynsky captures these images with an intense clarity and breathtaking depth of field. Expanding on his previous works, such as Manufactured Landcapes, he continues to magnify extraordinary landscapes and their multiple uses.
Oil originally opened in 2009, but will make its way to theNevada Museum of Art, opening next year.

First of all, let me say that I'm sorry if my Mylar balloon from Dollar Tree blew out your electrical transformer and you couldn't watch the big game. I didn't mean to let it escape when I took it out of the car, but it got away from me in the wind. Please don't have me arrested.
That's the bad news.
The good news is that I only paid $1 each plus tax for a whole slew of really pretty Mylar balloons inflated with helium, enough that I could make an entire balloon bouquet for the same or less as regular balloons at a party store.
They have balloons already inflated, or they'll blow one up for you of your choice.
There are lots of pretty designs, with sentiments like happy birthday, welcome home, congratulations ... you get the idea.
They also sell Mylar balloons at the 99 Cent Only store, but you have to pay an additional 50 cents for helium inflation.
And have fun out there. Except in the wind.

Our solutions use state of the art technology.
Bubble Seals™
In order to secure each artwork and their certificate of authenticity individually, ARTtrust uses one of the most reliable security technology: the Bubble Tag™.
Each Bubble Tag™, produced by Prooftag, is made of a translucent polymer in which a set of air bubbles is randomly self-generated. Each Bubble Tag™ is unique and impossible to reproduce. To be affixed on artworks and their certificates of authenticity the Bubble Tags™ are built on tamper evident Bubble Seals™.
Each ARTtrust-Online-branded Bubble Seal™ has a unique reference number plus a datamatrix code and is recorded in the ARTtrust registry.
The Bubble Seals™ are built on a tamper evident material to prevent any attempt of repositioning.
The ARTtrust website
The website's primary function is to enable registered photographers and artists (or their delegates under the artist's direction) to activate the ARTtrust Bubble SealTM, in relation to an artwork and its certificate of authenticity.It is also a tool for online authentication of the artworks and their certificates of authenticity. ARTtrust Bubble SealTM that can be checked visually to assess the authenticity of an artwork and its certificate. Finally, the website hosts photographers/artists and their artwork information presented in a gallery format for communication and promotion.
Whereas the website is a very convenient tool to manage and authenticate the certificates, you are not dependent on the ARTtrust Online database. Future generation will be able to authenticate an artwork and its certificate even without the website.

It's been a while...
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 04-24-2013 - 3:30pm
Hi everyone. It's been ages since I've been here. I ended my affair in '07. AP and I are/were both married. We went cold turkey. No contact. He just recently contacted me again. Truthfully, I've thought about him here and there, little things that remind me of him in general (not necessarily US together). But to be contacted... ugh. And I found out that he's since been divorced and remarried. So now I feel used and dumb.
Anywho... hoping to get some input. I've worked through my marriage and am happy now, but I'm still so hurt by this. Do you think it's normal? Do you think I'll always feel something for him, even though obviously I was a notch on the belt (that he keeps coming back to)? Just so torn.
I'm on the fence about contacting him. Not to get together again (he's in a different country anyway, but our A started as an emotional one and was 99% emotional as we lived in different states and only saw each other a handful of times, but I was extremely emotionally involved) but to say how disgusted I am. But then I think no reply would be an even bigger slap to him. Thoughts?
|Wed, 04-24-2013 - 7:25pm
Do you like the way he makes you feel? It doesn't sound like it from your post. Maybe it's best you avoid him in order to avoid further heartache. Plus, if you are happy now...then what's the point? Will he make you happier?
|Thu, 04-25-2013 - 11:48am
Morning, Love.Actually
Seems like you already know that contacting him is a bad idea. Why bother? You already know how it started in the first place, why go there again?
I think it's normal to think of past relationships, but some relationships are in the past for a good reason, and so should stay in the past.
You feel like a notch in his post, why set yourself up to be notched again?
And one more thing, the first time you might have been unaware and naive to that slippery slope...you aren't now. It would be a conscious decision to walk down that road to perdition.
|Thu, 04-25-2013 - 2:22pm
I would guess your BH never found out about the A. Why would you want to open that can of worms again? It certainly increases the possibility of finally being discovered and then what happens to your now happy M? Not a good idea.
|Fri, 04-26-2013 - 3:49pm
Hey everyone, thank you for the replies. You're right. It would totally be me opening a can of worms. Maybe because I'm just a grudge holder? That it's killing me that he's going to get the last word? But then, my silence would be my last word. Gah. I just hate that I truly had feelings for him and, well, here I am.
I'm too old to be playing tit for tat, but he brings it out in me. (Which, I know is another bad thing.)
I've previously trashed anything relating to him. I even blocked him on FB so that even if I wanted to sneak a peek, it would require me jumping through hoops in settings and no time for that.
Just angry that after all this time, here he is again. Seems to be his MO though.
|Fri, 04-26-2013 - 5:49pm
Hey Love.Actually
Glad you posted in again and are being very smart about how to proceed...and that is not to do anything. Silence indeeds sends a very loud message.
Our egos can really get us into a lot of trouble. Happy to see that you will be keeping yours in check and so are protecting yourself.
Post in again or as much as you need for support if you feel yourself waivering and need to be talked off the ledge.

New video footage obtained by Agence France Presse shows a gruesome scene of cold-blooded murder of unarmed Syrians in Aleppo, the northwestern commercial city. It provides a glimpse of the Jihadist armed groups in Syria that are being funded, trained and directed by Washington, London, Paris and Berlin along with their Turkish, Israeli and [Persian] Gulf Arab allies.
These are the "heroic" groups that the Western political leaders and media have championed for the past 17 months as a "pro-democracy movement" against the "dastardly" government of Bashar Al-Assad.
Western-sponsored mercenaries have carried out numerous massacres and atrocities across Syria against civilians in recent months in a calculated bid to terrorize the general population into spurning the Assad government. The reign of terror is also being distorted in the Western media as being instigated by the Assad forces, thereby justifying Western sanctions and a NATO military intervention, as in Libya, in an unspoken campaign for regime change.
Meanwhile, Amnesty International, sounding like a choirboy witnessing an orgy, has condemned the Syrian armed forces for a "brutal crackdown in Aleppo." It stated: "The current onslaught on the city of Aleppo - which puts civilians even more at grave risk - is a predictable development which follows the disturbing pattern of abuses by state forces across the country."
Contrary to what Amnesty asserts, several reports say that the Syrian state security forces have gone to careful lengths to avoid civilian casualties even though the foreign-backed armed groups have been using citizens in their homes as human shields.

Tulsa, OK - November 20th through December 15th, Reasor's locations teamed up with local news station, KJRH Channel 2 for their 13th Annual Food 2 Families Food Drive, benefitting the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma. Throughout the campaign, Reasor's collected 55,697 pounds of food and over $12,000 in monetary donations.
During the campaign, Reasor's shoppers were given the opportunity to donate non-perishable food items, purchase pre-made sacks of the most needed items for $15 or make a donation at the cash register. In 2012, Reasor's donated 41,350 pounds of food, exceeding donation totals from the previous year.
"We are overwhelmed by the response of our customers and the community," Steve Lehto, executive vice-president and chief operating officer "to have the ability to make such an overwhelming impact on the community we live and work in is truly outstanding and as an area local grocer we know that this response is what Oklahomans do."
In addition to the record breaking totals, the George Kaiser Family Foundation matched the monetary donations raised during the campaign, doubling the $12,000 raised by Reasor's and making the total number of meals provided just by monetary donations 96,000.
The recipient of the donations, the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma, works with a network of 450 partner programs in 24 counties of eastern Oklahoma. These programs include food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters, after school programs and senior citizen centers. Through this network, the food bank provides more than 275,000 meals each week.

exe4j 4.5.1
Java exe maker that helps you integrate your Java applications into the Windows operating environment
If you want your own process name instead of java.exe in the task manager and a user friendly task-bar grouping in Windows XP, exe4j does the job.
exe4j helps you with starting your Java applications in a safe way, displaying native splash screens, distributing and detecting suitable JDKs and JREs, startup error handling and much more.
Main features:
- Customized JRE/JDK detection:
- The executable can detect appropriate Java JREs and JDKs in the Windows registry, in environment variables, special directories and on the system path. You can fully customize the search sequence, error handling and supported JRE/JDK versions.
- Optional distribution of a bundled JRE:
- exe4j allows you to distribute your own private JRE with your application. This way you can ensure that your application's requirements are definitely met. You can even configure where the JRE is located.
- Flexible classpath construction:
- The classpath for your Java application can be fully customized to scan directories for JAR files, include specific directories and archives as well as insert environment variables. Customizable error handling allows you to interrupt the startup sequence with a specific error message instead of obscure NoClassDefFound exceptions later on.
- GUI or console applications:
- exe4j lets you compile GUI applications or console applications with an associated terminal window.
- Windows services:
- exe4j enables you to easily create a Windows service with Java. With the command line switches /install, /uninstall, /start and /stop you have full control over your service.
- Optional inclusion of JAR files into the executable:
- exe4j lets you include JAR files into the executable - in this way you can distribute your Java applications as a single EXE file.
- Custom process name instead of java/javaw:
- exe4j launches your Java application in such a way, that the exe4j executable and not java.exe or javaw.exe will appear in the task manager. In Windows XP, the task bar grouping will display the name of your executable and the associated icon, instead of the non-descript terminal icon and the string "javaw".
- Custom icon for your executable:
- exe4j lets you specify an icon file that will be compiled into your executable. This gives your application a much more professional appearance than a batch file or an executable JAR file would.
- Custom working directory:
- If required you can adjust the working directory to a specific directory relative to the executable. This is especially helpful for console applications which can be invoked from arbitrary directories. This way, you don't need to define fragile environment variables like MYAPP_HOME.
- VM parameters file:
- For every executable, you can create a user editable VM parameters file. If your executable is called hello.exe, the VM parameters file is called hello.exe.vmoptions and each line in it is added as a single VM parameter.
- Version info resource:
- exe4j can generate a version info resource entry in your executable. This version info is displayed for example in the property dialog of the Windows explorer. If you wish to obtain the "Designed for Windows" logo, this is an important requirement.
- Native splash screen:
- For GUI applications, a native splash screen gives the users of your application an optimum feedback about application startup within fractions of a second. Textual status information about application startup and version information can be freely placed on the splash screen. From within your Java code, this status information can be easily updated with one simple call. With exe4j's "auto-off" mode activated, the splash screen is hidden, as soon as your application displays a window.
- Redirection of stderr and stdout:
- Output stream and error stream can be redirected to customized files. This gives you access to valuable information like an exception stack trace on stderr that would otherwise be lost for a Java GUI application.
- Startup failure detection:
- No more flashing terminal windows and GUI applications that hang without displaying anything. exe4j executables can monitor a stderr output file and display a native dialog with helpful information to inform about startup failures.
- Optional single application instance enforcement and multiple startup notification:
- If your application must only be started once, an exe4j generated launcher can enforce this condition. Existing application windows will be brought to the top if a user starts the application a second time. The exe4j API allows you to register a listener that reacts to multiple startups and receives the parameters of the command line.
- Fully localizable messages of the executable:
- All messages of the executable are localizable. This way, the executable can blend into the target locale of your application.

Why Some Spread Misinformation In Disasters
By editor
Superstorm Sandy turned out the lights along the Eastern Seaboard, but Twitter was ablaze with comments. Host Michel Martin looks at the good, the bad, and the ugly of social media during Sandy, including intentional hoaxes. She speaks with Rey Junco of the Harvard Berkman Center for Internet and Society about why some users spread misinformation.

Greensboro to host political collectibles show
Winston Blair may be the biggest Ronald Reagan supporter in North Carolina.
If you doubt it, check out the room where Blair — a Triad-based collector of political memorabilia — displays his Reagan memorabilia. The room is wall-to-wall Reagan, from posters, pennants and plates to buttons, bumper stickers and bags of jelly beans (one of Reagan's favorite snacks).
There's even a Ronald Reagan jack-in-the-box.
"I started out as a general collector, but I just collect Reagan items now," Blair says. "There's so much stuff out there, I realized I could never be just a general collector — I would have to collect a specific candidate or a specific election."
He chose Reagan.
"Probably just because of the same politics," he explains. "I was born during his presidency, and I kind of fell in love with that. Also, he's modern enough to where his stuff is not that expensive or rare, which makes it a little easier to collect him."
Blair, of Clemmons, is one of at least two dozen collectors expected to display some of his memorabilia at a political collectibles show this weekend. Sponsored by the Dixie Chapter of the American Political Items Collectors, the show will take place Saturday, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at the Holiday Inn Airport in Greensboro.
"There aren't any shows in South Carolina or Tennessee or southern Virginia, so this is the show for this region," Blair says. "It's gotten to be a fairly big show, and we'll have a number of people there from other states."
Also, for attendees who want to bring in their own political memorabilia, some of the collectors will be available to identify, appraise and possibly even buy it. Items will be auctioned to the highest bidder, with 10 percent of the proceeds going to the show's sponsoring organization.
Blair is relatively new to the political collectibles field, having started about six years ago.
"I got started with the 2008 presidential election," he recalls. "I had always been a fan of presidents — I grew up going to presidents' birthplaces, tombs, homes they lived in and places like that — so I started looking around for political items, and it just kind of took off from there."
It was around 2010 that he made the decision to focus his collection on Reagan memorabilia.
In addition to dozens of Reagan buttons, posters and bumper stickers, some of Blair's more unusual items include the aforementioned jack-in-the-box; a collectible plate featuring Reagan and his running mate, George H.W. Bush; commemorative bags of jelly beans; hats and neckties; and a large Gov. Reagan poster, from the late president's gubernatorial stint in California.
One item Blair is especially proud of is a "North Carolina for Reagan" button.
"They're pretty hard to find," he explains. "A lot of state-specific buttons were kind of limited, because they would've only been produced for delegates from North Carolina, so there aren't thousands of them out there. It's probably more like less than a hundred out there. And then just being in North Carolina makes it special, too."
Blair points out that while older memorabilia tends to be more expensive, that's not always the case. Sometimes the value of an item is determined by quantity than age, he says.
"For example, you can find a William McKinley button from 1900 for $10, whereas there could be a Romney or Obama button for $200, just because it's based on how many were made," Blair says. "Collectors refer to 1896 to 1920 as 'The Golden Age' — that's when the era of buttons began, and they were mass-produced because it was such new technology."
Blair points out that while when he purchases an item, he prefers to put it on display, rather than store it somewhere for safekeeping.
"That's why I have a room for all of my stuff," he says. "It's no fun to have that stuff in a closet somewhere. You want to be able to enjoy it."

Want to go?
A political collectibles show, hosted by the Dixie Chapter of the American Political Items Collectors, will be held Saturday, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at the Holiday Inn Airport, 6426 Burnt Poplar Road, Greensboro.
Attendees can bring political material to be identified, appraised and/or sold. Materials brought in to be sold will be auctioned to the highest bidder, with 10 percent of the proceeds going to the Dixie Chapter of the APIC.
Show admission is $3, free for students.

Do You See What I See?
Reading to Learn
By: Lindsey Barber
Rationale: For students to become fluent readers they need to have comprehension strategies to help them make sense of what they read. One of those strategies is visualization. Visualization is important because it opens up your imagination and once students begin reading chapter books without illustrations, it is important to use visualization to aid in comprehending stories. This lesson will help students with the strategy of visualization while reading to help them improve their comprehension skills. In this lesson students will practice visualizing different scenes in the book by drawing what they see and writing about it to help with their comprehension of the story.
Materials: Class set of Sarah, Plain and Tall, white paper, markers/crayons/color pencils, pencils, Assessment Checklist
1. Say: "Sometimes when we read a book with no illustrations in it, it is hard to picture what is going on in the story and this might make it hard to comprehend what we are reading. Today, we are going to practice the strategy of visualizing. Can someone tell me what visualizing means? Yes, it means we can read a story and picture what is happening in our minds. First, I am going to show you how to visualize and then I will let you practice reading and visualizing with a partner."
2. Say: "I am going to model how we can visualize text. I am going to read a section out of the book, Sarah, Plain and Tall, and then I will draw on the board what I visualized. While I do that, I want you to close your eyes and listen to me read and then draw what you visualized. What I visualize may be different from what you visualize, and that is okay because our imaginations work differently. Now, I am going to read the passage. 'Sarah sang us a song that we had never heard before as we sat on the porch, insects buzzing in the dark, the rustles of cows in the grasses.' I pictured Sarah sitting on the porch with her brown hair in a bun. I then pictured lightning bugs flying around with their bright yellow light shining. Then I pictured cows chewing on the brown grass. Now, I am going to give you a few minutes to finish your drawing and then I will walk around to look and ask questions about what you drew."
3. Say: "The book we are going to work with today is Sarah, Plain and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan. Anna and Caleb are children who live with their Papa. Their mother passed away so Papa is lonely. Papa puts an ad in a newspaper for a wife, and Sarah responds by writing letters to them. Sarah lives far away by the sea, and Anna and Caleb are hoping she will come be their new mother. Will she travel to take care of them? Will Anna and Caleb get a new mother?"
4. Say: "In this book there might be a few words you don't understand and don't know the meaning of. We are going to learn about one word you may not know the meaning of and that word is pesky.
Pesky means a person who makes a lot of trouble or bothers others.
Here is an example of it in the book: Do you think she'll come? asked Caleb. "And will she stay? What if she thinks we are loud and pesky?"
Would a pesky person be quiet and keep to themselves or would they nag you and get on your nerves?
Now, I want you to complete a sentence using the word pesky. Sometimes I feel like I am being pesky when I _________________________. "
"Now you are ready to practice visualizing on your own. I want you and a partner
to take turns reading Chapter 1 together. While you are reading I want you to
visualize what the setting and characters look like and anything else you can
visualize that is going on in the story. After you are done reading, I want you
and your partner to each draw something you visualized while reading the
chapter. I also want you to write a sentence about what you drew. So if I read,
log broke apart and crackled in the fireplace',
I am going to draw a log breaking apart in a fireplace and then I will write
that sentence. "
6. I will assess the students 'ability to visualize text by observing their drawings and their sentences they write using the following checklist. I will also ask some comprehension questions from chapter one.
Assessment Checklist
Student draws a representation of a scene from the book ________
Student describes the scene from the book using a sentence excerpt _______
Student orally connects the representation with the sentence excerpt ______

Multiple sclerosis, often referred to as MS, is a disease of the central nervous system. Chronic and quite often disabling, MS varies in severity and rate of progress, and different patients experience varying symptoms from a set group. While multiple sclerosis has an immune system component in that the immune system attacks the central nervous system, it is not technically considered an autoimmune disease, although newer research may change that with time.
Mild symptoms include numbness in the arms, legs, hands, and feet, while severe symptoms can include blindness and paralysis. Which symptoms a person will develop, whether a person's MS will progress from mild to severe, and how fast that will happen, all vary by patient and are extremely difficult to predict.
As with any chronic, potentially disabling disease, for people who have multiple sclerosis, medical ID necklaces and bracelets are a layer of protection they can wear daily. First responders and emergency room physicians always want to know a patient's baseline in order to provide appropriate, immediate treatment, and MS is a significant factor for them to consider in assisting you. Additionally, people with MS are often on multiple medications. Medical ID jewelry with your medications listed or simply, "multiple meds / see wallet card" (Download a FREE Lauren's Hope Wallet Card here!), lets EMTs and ER personnel know that they need to be extra careful to prevent accidental drug interactions.
Has your multiple sclerosis medical ID bracelet helped you? We want to hear from you! Write in, and tell us about it! For more information about MS, visit the National MS Society's website, where you'll find links to your local chapter and can find out about upcoming fundraising and awareness-raising events such as runs, walks, and bike rides.

Little Belt
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
The Little Belt (Danish: Lillebælt) is a strait between the Danish island of Funen and the Jutland Peninsula.
The belt is about 50 km long and 800m to 28 km wide, the maximum depth is approximately 75 m, and contains numerous small Danish islands.
Two bridges cross the belt, the Old Little Belt bridge and the New Little Belt bridge; also the two Little Belt overhead powerline crossings. The first power line was taken down and replaced by a subsea cable in 2013.[1]
The Belt is mentioned in the German national anthem (written 1841), the Deutschlandlied, to define the northern limit of territories advocated in the song as a unified Germany. Its inclusion reflects the bilingual nature of the former Duchy of Schleswig, which as populated by both Danes, Germans and bilinguals. It was also mentioned for the same reason in the 1813 song, Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland?, written by Ernst Moritz Arndt.

New York attractions: New places to go in NYC in 2012

Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park
What it is: After four decades of stops and starts, this four-acre plot at the southern tip of Roosevelt Island will finally open this week. The space commemorates the 32nd President's famous "four freedoms" speech, and will offer postcardworthy views of the Manhattan skyline.
Why you should care: The saga behind the project's development is compelling enough to warrant attention. It's been 40 years since Mayor John Lindsay and Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller announced the memorial; however, the plans languished until 2005, when an exhibition at Cooper Union revived interest in the project. The park was designed by the late renowned architect Louis I. Kahn (this is his only commission in the city) to anchor the waterfront space along the East River. Amenities include a large green expanse planted with 120 linden trees, a massive bronze bust of FDR designed by Jo Davidson and a Wi-Fi network. Roosevelt Island (212-204-8831, fdrfourfreedomspark.org). Opens Wed 24.—Amanda Angel

OE Toyota plugs, could be either NGK or Denso.
Matter of fact I was surprised because in my 2005 4Runner I had Denso plugs in 1 bank and NGK in the other. When I talked to a Toyota tech friend he said they see that quite often, but when they replace them they use only one kind.

In this blog I almost forgot to talk about my classes. You know that I'm a Journalism major student. My Online Journalism teacher, David Loomis, asked us to do a Mobile journalism assignment. We had to attend an event and write an article in real time using phone, camera, video camera and handheld recorder. Everything we need to do go reporting. I decided to attend the IUP basketball game, Saturday 11, at 7:30 in the Memorial Field house on campus. Saturday and Sunday was the Indiana Regional Medical Center Holiday Classic, a kind of tournament between four teams- Central State, Edinboro, Urbana Blue Knight and IUP.
To do this MoJo assignment, we were supposed to send short report on our Twitter account with our phone. I was really excited to attend this game since IUO team is a good team and there is always a good ambiance for our home games. But this time I could chill with my friend but stay focus on the game and the atmosphere around and type on phone everything I could say about it.
The first game was Edinboro versus Urbana. Few people were there to watch this game. Around 7:15, most of the students started to full in the gym. The IUP game versus Central State was going to start late, but it didn't seem to annoy the fans there. When the players came on the field, the IUP stand was almost full.
End of the warm up. Picture by Laurie Ajavon
The cheerleaders with their pink shirt to help breast cancer, the usual IUP basketball fans and I, with my phone in a hand and my camera in the other hand; everybody was ready to cheer our team.

The IUP players dominated the first part of the game despite a lot of mistakes. They lost stupidly the ball times and missed to score a basket too many but we can see that obviously our team was better than their opponents. The IUP #3, Kevin Steward was everywhere on the field. At the halftime, our team was winning 45-29.
Pictures during the second half of the game. Last picture: player "fighting" to win. Picture by Laurie Ajavon
The second was at the same time more interesting and irritating to watch for the Crimson Hawks fans. But in the stands, a lot of people left. When they went out of their locker rooms, The IUP players kept doing miss to score a baskets and loosing the ball allowing Central State to move up their score. At 11:58 of game, the score was 59-50. We could feel a lot of tension between the players.
Coach Lombardi and Central State's coach stressed out. Picture by Laurie Ajavon
Even the coaches looked stressed out. Joe Lombardi could be restless. The last minutes of game were very tense; both team wanting to win. Darryl Webb and his team-mates who were commiting a lot of mistakes seeing their opponents scored started to give everything to keep the victory. Finally our team beating Central state. The team didn't show his best during this game but it was the better this weekend winning its other game against Urbana 87-63 the day after. My Mojo wasn't really easy to do since I was suppose to type and watch the game at the same time but it was interesting to do. It was funny to be a sport commentator.
End of the game; IUP won. Picture by Laurie Ajavon

Tell me: what did you think about the Saturday game?
And you my online journalism classmate, what di you think about your Mojo assignment?
