Nationals Today is a new daily column that will bring you the top three-to-four stories about the Washington Nationals, and from time to time the rest of Major League Baseball. We hope that in time readers will find this a good source for a quick daily check-in for morning Nationals reading.
The Washington Nationals made several moves yesterday, helping thrust themselves yet again into the National media. There are many things that can be said about General Manager Mike Rizzo and his ability to attract talent to Washington, but one thing that can't be denied is that for the first time in the history of the franchise, the Nationals are relevant.
The Nationals started the day by signing Alex Cora. A 35-year-old veteran, Cora fits a specific need the Nationals have in the infield. While the club is prepared to enter 2011 with two young middle infielders, Ian Desmond and Danny Espinosa, both are relative wild cards considering their inexperience. Cora played each infield position in 2011, and will provide much needed support if needed for either of them. He will not help much with the bat, but will be a steady influence while on the field.
Just a few hours after landing Cora, the Nats made an even bigger splash when they traded for left-handed starting pitcher Tom Gorzelanny. While they did have to give up former top outfield prospect Michael Burgess, as well as two other minor league starters, the Nationals have been able to add just a bit more security to their rotation.
Gorzelanny went 7-9 with a 4.09 ERA in 23 starts for the Chicago Cubs last year. He has had his problems with control but there are many in the profession who think that his stuff is good enough that if he can harness it he can be a strong number two starter. Just 28, he certainly could improve for Washington. However, even if he just replicates his 2010 numbers he will be the second best pitcher on the staff out of the bat.
Nationals Interested in Heilman
According to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN, the Nationals are interested in the services of starer/reliever Aaron Heilman. Heilman is a starter turned reliever who wants to be a starter again. Unfotunately (for him) he hasn't started a game since 2005, and hasn't posted an ERA below four since 2007.
Not sure how he would fit into the picture in Washington, especially with the addition of Gorzelanny today. The Nationals now have eight potential starters, not counting Stephen Strasburg, which means adding a guy like Heilman would give them almost enough for a second rotation. I know the Nationals strung out 17 guys to the mound to start games in 2010, but we're all hoping 2011 is a little more stable…right?
Heilman has been a serviceable bullpen hand for the Mets over the years, but he certainly hasn't shown himself to be far and away better than guys like Burnett, Clippard, Batista, Storen, Slaten, or Stammen.

sogeo618 "The whole earth, is filled with Your glory Lord.."
I've been trying to "explore" different parts of the Bible on a daily basis, for the past week or so I have been working on reading a chapter from 1 Samuel each day. Today I am on 1 Samuel 17, the story of David and Goliath, which is a story I really enjoy. Its interesting how I can apply what I read to my daily life, which can be difficult with the Old Testament, at least for me.
In addition to that, yesterday I read about the 9 Fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22) and each day I am trying to work on a different fruit. Yesterday was love. Which for me, entailed being kinder and more caring towards my mom, being friendly to everyone, trying to express Christ's love simply by smiling. Today's fruit is joy. It will be interesting to see how I can apply that today.

When I was a teenager, our telephone hung on a wall in the kitchen. When I was on the phone, my parents knew it. And when I talked for too long, ignoring homework or staying up past my bedtime, they knew that too—and more often than not yelled at me to "Hang up!" How times have changed.
These days, with devices that range from cell phones to computers—and increasingly a single device that does it all–teenagers have round-the-clock access to, well, everyone and everything: texting, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, email, friends, foes, strangers and much, much more.
And, let's face it: we parents often have no idea what our teenagers are up to. These devices are not hanging on our kitchen walls. Teenagers can take them wherever they want—and they do, even to bed.
Of course, there are upsides to all this. Thanks to cell phones, we can reach our teenagers when we need to and, more importantly, they can reach us.
But, experts warn that there are pitfalls too. Spending too much time online can mean missing out on sleep or neglecting schoolwork. Social media and teenagers can be a volatile mix. And teenagers sometimes make poor decisions with technology—such as texting while driving or sexting—that can have dire consequences.
There's no doubt that managing our teenagers' use of technology can feel overwhelming. But it shouldn't, say the experts and parents whom Your Teen interviewed for this month's issue.
"This is no different than anything else we have to manage for our teenagers," stresses Dr. Georgette Constantinou, a pediatric psychologist at Akron General Hospital.
The Big Picture
Teenagers love all kinds of technology, but they love their cell phones the best. According to research from the Pew Internet and American Life Project, more than 75 percent of teenagers have cell phones (which is more than have computers).
What are they doing with them? Well, it will come as no surprise to any parent of a teenager that they're texting. On average, teenagers send 50 text messages a day—or 1,500 a month—according to the Pew Project, though about 30 percent (and growing) of teenagers are sending upwards of 100 texts a day.
Many teenagers are also accessing the Internet on their phones (about 35 percent, according to Pew), yet, the majority of them still use computers to go online.
However, experts note that we are at a convergence point in communications technology: what once required several devices to accomplish is now distilled into one single gadget that fits in our pocket. Smart phones–which offer all the capabilities of a cell phone, plus the ability to access the Internet– are becoming increasingly popular with teenagers. Walk into a Verizon, Sprint or any other cell-phone provider's store and you'll be hard-pressed to find a phone that doesn't allow for a "data plan" to access the Internet through your phone. Devices like the iPod Touch similarly allow teenagers to text, make calls (yes, there's an app for that) and access the Internet from anyplace with Wi-Fi.
But, what is perhaps most startling is just how much of the day teenagers are using technology, in one form or another. The Pew Project found that more than 90 percent of teenagers go online several times a day; studies also show that the amount of time teenagers spend using technology is upwards of several hours a day, when all devices are taken into account.
This is cause for concern, Constantinou says. "Technology is overwhelming our teenagers' lives. We need to ask: 'Are we giving our teenagers time to be real?'"
The Lure of Technology
When Nicole Klinkhamer moved in with her fiancé and his two teenage daughters late last year, she knew that it wouldn't always be smooth sailing. The Chicago-area native anticipated the inevitable challenges of being a stepmother to two teenagers. But, she never thought that technology would stand in the way of getting to know, much less bond, with her soon-to-be stepdaughters.
"We're a blended house, and we're trying to learn how to deal with each other. I'm not kidding when I say the cell phone is sometimes standing in the middle of a lot of conversation," she says. "The phone rules the roost."
It's a situation to which many parents can relate. Indeed, technology can be a source of conflict in many households, in part because so many teenagers struggle with tuning it out.
"Teenagers have an intense desire to know what's going on, and these gadgets offer constant access to that," explains John Duffy, a clinical psychologist in La Grange, Illinois, and author of The Available Parent: Radical Optimism For Raising Tweens and Teens.
Like texting, Facebook and other social networking services—including Twitter, which is increasingly popular with teens—can also be habit-forming. Research shows that teenagers spend, on average, 90 minutes each day updating their accounts.
5 Tips for Parents
So, what's a parent to do? Well, start by accepting that all of this is here to stay, Duffy says. "Recognize this is important to them. It's not just to get under your skin. It means something to them."
Then, make it your goal to ensure that your teenager has a healthy relationship with technology. Easier said than done? Perhaps. But here are five strategies to get you started:
#1: Model Moderation.
Research shows that the No. 1 impact on our children's behavior is our own behavior. So, parents that are unable to disconnect from their gadgets—and if you regularly check your phone at the dinner table or during the school play, this means you—cannot expect their teenagers to do otherwise.
"It is the unwise parent that sits there staring at a little screen and telling their kids, 'Okay, enough screen time.' That is really poor modeling and kids are far more likely to follow the model than follow the word," Duffy explains. "I get it myself. If a text comes in while I'm talking to my son, my impulse is to pick up the phone. And it takes a lot to say, 'No, be present in this moment.' But, it's important."
#2: Don't Rush In.
What tween or younger teen has not lobbied their parent to get a smart phone or other hot gadget (Hello, iPad)?
But, experts caution that parents should not rush in. Though they're often marketed as such, these devices are not toys—and it's important to wait until your child is mature enough to use them responsibly.
This is especially true when it comes to smart phones, which allow users to access to the entire Internet. "I don't know why younger users need to have any Internet on their phone," says Tracy Rush, an Austin, Texas mom, who moderates a message board at iVillage.com where she regularly hears from parents grappling with their children's technology use.
Duffy agrees. "Eleven- and 12-year-olds don't get the power of the tool and can get themselves into real trouble." He advises that parents wait until at least high school to introduce a smart phone, while tweens and younger teens should make do with a more basic phone.
#3: It's Your House; Set Rules.
Tell us what you think:
March 2, 2012 at 9:41 am
What a great artlice! I think its spot on, parents need to take control of technology, but not in an intrusive, sneeky manner. Be upfront about it, work together, and technology might actually bring your family closer together!

Grass Valley Firefighters have received a $14 thousand dollar heritage grant from the Fireman's fund and Grass valley's Network insurance company to pay for new training and safety equipment and Grass Valley Fire station Number 2 on Sierra College Drive hosted a Firefighting demonstration last week for city council members and representatives of the Fireman's fund. Part of the grant is paying for training props to create scenarios for firefighters to more safely vent roofs and fight fires in our community.
Grass Valley Mayor, Jan Arbuckle watched the demonstration and commented on how valuable it was for the firemen's fund and Network insurance companies to see how their grant funds were being utilized.
"I think it's amazing and it's nice for them to be able to see just how the grant funds are utilized instead of something that's superficial, but to actually see how they're training the firefighters to be safer, more efficient and therefore be better at their jobs of keeping the city safe."
The grant money will also be used for Knox-boxes. The small safe-like boxes are attached to buildings; they are fire and tamper proof. The boxes cost about $200 each and can hold about 10 keys, so keys for more than one building could be included. Special lighting will also be purchased to assist firefighters in lighting work areas.

Don't you realize that without the all-loving state, we would not have those little messy stickers on apples and other fruit? Free enterprise never in a million years would have come up with such a great scheme. Why, the other day, it took me about 5 minutes to peel one of these very annoying stickers off an apple I wanted to eat. It came off it little itty bitty pieces. Isn't that great!?! So, stop being such extremists and bashing the government all the time. Show a little appreciation for these hard working underpaid bureaucrats, civil servants and other paternalists.

Patient Engagement Takes Physician Leadership
Qualify for a free subscription to HealthLeaders magazine.
This article appears in the October 2011 issue of HealthLeaders magazine.
It is easy to say that patients are at the center of healthcare, but a difficult challenge facing healthcare leaders centers on the question of responsibility for the patients' care. Some providers are evaluating the patients' role, moving ahead with commitment and resources to help educate them as to their central place in healthcare and what that is all about. Others are still struggling to understand the impact of patient-centered approaches.
Sometimes, a blunt approach may be needed to get a patient's engagement. In the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, one of the 41,000 residents of Guernsey County, OH, is an 86-year-old patient who desperately needed an angioplasty, but was resistant. Her physicians were adamant, and it took some convincing from the doctors and Ohio State University Hospital officials to get her to leave home and travel some 80 miles westward in part because she had never in her life left her home county. Never.
"These are your [arterial] blockages. Do you want to live like this or die?" the patient was asked, recalls Rich Davis, associate executive director of the cardiovascular center for Ohio State University Medical Center in Columbus. The dramatic question convinced her to go to the hospital. She eventually received successful angioplasty and treatment.
The patient had taken a significant step in the development of her own care, even the simple act of going to the hospital. And it was the healthcare providers who helped her take that step.
The bottom line of patient outcomes and fiscal sustainability for a healthcare organization often depends on the patient. Physicians and hospitals are taking steps to do more than ever to educate patients and guide them in care, but providers also are challenging patients to be instrumental in their own care. There is a vast variability in a patient's role, with healthcare professionals even uncertain about the terms they use in embracing patients in their care; some saying they are "engaging" patients, some say patients are being "challenged," and others talk about "accountability" or "patient activation."
The process is changing across generational lines, with younger patients increasingly taking active consumer roles, while older patients, often those with the chronic disease, rely on family members or significant others to help them.
"There is patient responsibility, but you have to help people understand what their responsibilities are," says Richard Hanke, a member of the patient and family advisory council at the 118-bed Delnor Hospital in Geneva, IL.
For patients, there is "some teaching that is taking place, and that really helps the healing process," says Hanke, a business consultant with a doctorate in education. "Patients typically say, 'What is it that you want me to do? What is it I'm supposed to do?'"
Hospitals are in a position to help patients understand that and, in effect, help them take responsibility for their own care. Often that lies within education programs. Hanke began working with hospital officials to improve patient care after his wife was hospitalized and there were problems with her care, "a breakdown in communication," he says.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

This involves social accountability as well. What if alcohol and tobacco companies were forced to run their own hospitals? They would have to treat alcohol-addicted withdrawing patients or alcoholic cirrhosis and lung cancer or chronic obstuctive pulmonary disease exacerbations due to smoking? What if there was a McDonald's hospital for the obese, heart diseased and diabetic patients? The CEO's of these companies would surely take a paycut as these rapidly popular chronic diseases are costing taxpayers a fortune! Yes, its is a personal choice to smoke, eat junk food and/or drink in excess and to understand the health consequences of doing so. Where is the social accountability here? Why aren't we looking more at addictive behaviors or stress that can lead to unhealthy behaviors? Why are we, as a society, enabling these behaviors? Physicians, nurses, dieticians, social workers, and teachers cannot do it all, even though most do try. Instead of stuffing their fat wallets, CEO's need to partake in some responsibility and accountability as parters in care to their consumers.

5 Best Presidents Day Car Discounts
PORTLAND, Ore. ( TheStreet) -- This is a terrible time to buy a car, unless you're willing to subject yourself to the automotive Black Friday that is February.
It's not that Presidents Day is such an overwhelmingly great time to buy a car, but it's the best time during an especially bleak period. The folks at Lifehacker argue that the best time to get out there is in September and October, when the new models are just coming in and dealers are in a rush to get old models off the floors and lots.
If you missed that, the folks at AOL Cars were of the belief that the best time to buy was in December, when dealers needed to make end-of-year sales quotas and were willing to offer rebates and discounts as high as 30%. The numbers supported it, as auto sales increased 9% in December and helped automakers sell 14.5 million cars in 2012, up 13.4% from 2011.
It still holds true that any time the weather gets gray and wet and dealerships and lots empty out is the best time to make a deal. That's not going to be true for much longer, though, as income tax rebates are trickling in and dealers will be in no mood to trim prices.If you're hell-bent on braving the crowds for Presidents Day sales -- especially to pick up an SUV before the winter subsides -- there are still a few relative bargains out there. We consulted with the folks at auto pricing site TrueCar and found five vehicles worth spending a few thousand Washingtons and Lincolns on:

JACK THE GIANT SLAYER Blu-ray Review
by Andre Dellamorte Posted 1 year, 162 days ago
Bryan Singer's Jack the Giant Slayer was doomed to failure. The film was delayed from summer of 2012 until March of 2013, and the advertising could never find the right tone to sell the film. And so its eventual release was met with yawns. But it's actually a moderately entertaining little adventure film. Nicholas Hoult stars as the titular Jack, who comes across some magic beans that change his life. The film also stars Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Bill Nighy, Eleanor Tomlinson, and Ian McShane, and my review of the Blu-ray follows after the jump.

Coconut oil, due its high saturated fat content was branded as unhealthy and artery-clogging which could cause heart diseases. This claim has been widely disproved by the scientific community and it is now being hailed as one of world's healthiest cooking oils. Though it may take time, perceptions are slowly changing as people are beginning to realize its tremendous benefits. Coconuts and coconut oil have always been a part of the cuisine in tropical countries like
Technically what makes it a good oil to use for cosmetic purposes and skin care is its chemical formulation. Its small molecular structure allows for easy absorption through the skin, giving it a soft, smooth texture and hence is an ideal treatment for dry, rough and wrinkled skin. Unrefined Pure Virgin coconut oil is extremely high in antioxidants that can penetrate deep into the underlying tissues of the skin to prevent and protect against the formation of free radicals that make the skin lose its elasticity. Regular application protects the skin from developing ugly spots and blemishes caused by aging and overexposure to sunlight. That's why this oil is regarded as the best natural ingredient lotion for the skin. It's also very inexpensive and is easily available. The lovely smell and feel of virgin coconut oil is so enticing that you will fall in love with it.
Coconut oil pre-bath massage
One of the previous posts The luxury called 'oil bath', had elucidated how a pre-bath whole body massage with oils, better known as 'Abhyanga Snana' in Ayurvedic terminology keeps the skin soft, young and supple for years. After bath, just pat yourself dry; do not rub your skin vigorously with the towel so that your skin retains a bit of oiliness. This oil-massage is also highly recommended for people with extremely dry skins, persons of all age-groups and for all skin-types in winter. And if you do not have the time to indulge in an oil-massage everyday do remember to add a few drops of coconut oil to your bath water.
Coconut oil as an after-bath moisturizer
Coconut oil can work as an excellent skin moisturizer if applied immediately after a shower. Oils such as olive, jojoba or coconut oil, and Vaseline (petroleum jelly) sit on top of the skin and lock in moisture, thus acting as a water sealant. That's why they work best when applied to damp skin. Keratosis pilaris, a skin problem can be alleviated with the regular use of coconut oil on body after a bath while the skin is damp. People suffering from mild to moderate Xerosis due to some defect in their skin's barrier have a dry, rough, scaly, and itchy skin. They should regularly moisturize their skin with pure coconut oil after bath to deal with this condition effectively.
Coconut oil for other skin problems
An external application of coconut oil also relieves eczema symptoms. It can also help in conditions like fungal infections in toes, athletes foot. As an under-arm deodorant it helps to prevent body odour.
Coconut oil to protect your skin and hair from sun damage
If you can't help venturing out in the hot sun often, then apply coconut oil to your scalp as a protection from the harmful and drying effects of the UV rays and also do not forget to soothe your skin afterwards with a liberal application of aloe vera gel to which a few tsps of coconut oil is added.
Coconut oil in face packs
Do not forget to add a few drops of coconut oil in your face-packs in winter, if you are above thirty and if you have dry to normal skins.
Coconut oil to cure cracked heels
For cracked heels, combine coconut oil with petroleum jelly (Vaseline) and apply over those areas before going to bed.
Coconut oil for dry, flaky lips
Dry, flaky lips can also be rejuvenated with a liberal application of pure coconut oil on them.
Coconut oil for dark elbows and knees
Take half of squeezed lemon and pour half a teaspoon of coconut oil in lemon skin, rub on dry and dark elbows and knees to help with spots.
Coconut oil to remove eye makeup
Use it to remove eye makeup by gently applying it on damp cotton wool and delicately remove it with gentle inward motion.
Coconut oil for hair
Coconut oil can be used as a pre-shampoo hair conditioner. Warm the bottle of coconut oil by placing it in a container of hot water and then take a few drops of this warm oil in your palm and massage it gently into your scalp. It smells nice and as mentioned earlier its small molecular structure allows for easy absorption into the scalp. You can leave it overnight. This oil-massage also ensures a peaceful slumber and is especially recommended if you have trouble falling asleep easily. Shampoo it off the next morning and it will leave your hair with a smooth texture. If you do not like to keep it the whole night, then apply it a few hours before washing your hair and cover your head with a shower cap to allow deeper penetration. But you can get better results only by leaving it overnight. This treatment with coconut oil is as good as an expensive hair treatment at the salon. Coconut oil application also helps with dandruff problems too and hence much preferable to other strong medicated shampoos. You can also prepare many herbal oils using coconut oils as the base. For instance, this Aloe-oil helps with split ends and this Amla (gooseberry) hair oil and hibiscus-based hair oil not only promote hair-growth and prevent premature graying but also help with insomnia.
Curry leaves hair oil for premature graying
Curry leaves oil also delays premature graying of hair. Here's the procedure of preparing it. Take a bunch of curry leaves and grind it with little water to get a paste. Add this paste to 2 cups of coconut oil and heat the mixture till all the moisture evaporates. After it cools, store it in a bottle. Use this to deal with gray hair problems.

EPA Official: Sir, I'm afraid you've gone mad with power.It seems like any major military- or corporate-backed venture to give a mundane person super powers or just enhance their normal abilities always results in the test subject going uncontrollably berserk as a side-effect. Sometimes the choice of test subject is clearly to blame. Convicted criminals make pretty poor guinea pigs if you're trying to develop a Super Soldier who can punch out a tank, yet nobody in any of these programs ever seems to have been given the most basic psychiatric evaluation. The evidence indicates a connection between morals and one's ability to remain "sane." Normally, using the power makes you crazy the longer you use it, because Evil Feels Good, but a noble, heroic character is better able to stay in control. Other times, it seems that insanity happens as a side effect for no discernible reason other than to justify the needs of the plot and/or give the super individual a weakness that they must struggle to balance and maintain. This also gives the Badass Normal their one edge over the competition as they lack this weakness. This trope can also arise if the principle that knowledge is power is extended to These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know. Sometimes, the creators of the super being realize the error while in the prototype phase and will seal the subject away, hoping everyone just forgets about them. This never works. Often, the first subject to undergo the process — or a single subsequent subject — will turn out okay, so on top of all the various other issues that the treatment has, it's usually their job to clean up the mess made by subsequent failed attempts. If it's a Science Is Bad story, the sponsors of the program are likely to just keep pumping out nutty prototypes hoping they'll eventually make one that is not insane. If all else fails, it'll seem like it happened just to make the Aesop "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" appear in the story. Karmic Death is a frequent end for not only the subject, but the scientists who created him/her/it. May be either the cause or the result of Science-Related Memetic Disorder, especially if the person is already a Mad Scientist to begin with. Invisibility seems to drive one insane, or at least evil, more than any other power, because it lets you spy on people undetected and escape easily without consequences. H. G. Wells' novel The Invisible Man is the Trope Codifier for invisibility letting you be evil in the modern era, but the germ of the story is much older than that; if you asked Wells where he got the idea he would probably have mentioned Plato's tale of the ring of Gyges (from The Republic). Shapeshifting and telepathy are close seconds to invisibility as potential causes of this trope, probably due to Personality Powers; after all, changing identities too often might result in losing track of the real you, and having other peoples' thoughts in your head is a lot like voices in your head (or can be abused for Big Brother Is Watching). Anything can theoretically trigger it, though. Getting energy blasts can result in Psycho Electro. Getting Charles Atlas Superpowers can result in Ax-Crazy. Getting Flying Brick powers can result in Beware the Superman. Knowing that one is a Reality Warper will cause A God Am I and the warper to remake the world in his own image. And of course, think of all the Power Perversion Potential. This is the inverse of Power Born of Madness. Often occurs when someone acquires god-like powers. One possible way to stave this off is to think "A God I Am Not." Always occurs when someone makes serious use of an Artifact of Doom, provided the user isn't eaten on the spot by said artifact. A.K.A. Comes Great Insanity for short, to go with the original version, Comes Great Responsibility. Compare The Corruption, Almighty Idiot, Drunk with Power, God for a Day and Mad God.
Russ Cargill: Of course I have! You ever tried going mad without power? It's boring! No one listens to you!

2014 Pheasant Brood Survey Indicates Higher Pheasant Numbers
PIERRE, S.D. – The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) has completed the annual pheasant brood survey and the results show a 76 percent increase in the statewide pheasants-per-mile index from 2013.
From late July through mid-August, GFP surveyed 109, 30 mile-routes across the state to estimate pheasant production and calculate the pheasants-per-mile index. The survey is not a population estimate, but rather compares the number of pheasants observed on the routes and establishes trend information. Survey routes are grouped into 13 areas, based on a local city, and the index value of each local city area is then compared to index values of the previous year and the 10-year average.
"With favorable weather conditions this past winter and spring, along with the availability of quality nesting habitat across the state, we are going to see an increase in this year's pheasant population," stated Jeff Vonk, GFP Secretary. "Survey results show pheasant numbers rebounded the strongest in central South Dakota; especially in the Pierre, Chamberlain, Mobridge and Winner areas. Results also indicate that pheasant numbers are substantially higher than 2013 throughout much of eastern South Dakota."
The 2014 statewide pheasants-per-mile index of 2.68 is up from 1.52 in 2013. The statewide pheasant-per-mile index is similar to 2002 when hunters harvested 1.26 million roosters.
"Habitat is at the forefront of the conversation right now and is a crucial factor in pheasant numbers," stated Vonk. "Bird numbers are higher this year due to excellent reproduction in parts of the state where quality habitat conditions still exist, primarily on grasslands including those enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program as well as fields of cereal crops such as winter wheat. We continue to work in cooperation with the Governor's Pheasant Habitat Workgroup, partner organizations and agencies, and landowners to provide an improved future for habitat in our state."
Public hunting opportunities are abundant in South Dakota. Over 1 million acres of publicly owned and private land leased through GFP's Walk-In Area Program and the James River Watershed Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program is available in the primary pheasant range of South Dakota. The 2014 public hunting atlas and a web-based interactive map of public lands and private lands leased for public hunting can be found online at http://gfp.sd.gov/hunting/areas.
"The results of this survey are highly anticipated by many who have a strong interest in South Dakota's hunting heritage. The availability of pheasants and pheasant hunting opportunities in our state this fall should serve to enhance that heritage," concluded Vonk.
South Dakota's traditional statewide pheasant hunting season opens on Saturday, Oct. 18, and runs through Jan. 4, 2015.

This is your property ?
Live, as the French do, in this beautiful wooden-floored one-bed apartment, overlooking a quiet street. Recently refurbished, rue de Saussure offers all modern conveniences, in the heart of a busy, much sought-after Parisian neighbourhood.
Ideally situated on the border of the 17th and 8th arrondissements, this apartment is located in a wonderful, residential area. This is "Les Batignolles", the poets' quarter (Verlaine, Mallarmé)- close to the business and shopping areas, but still lovely, peaceful and Parisian.
The Rue de Lévis Marché is the place to explore if you are a food lover. This narrow, pedestrian street houses a charcuterie specialising in delicacies from Alsace, two huge produce stands, a poissonnerie, an artisanal boulangerie known for its crusty country bread, one of the best cheese shops in the city, a place that sells fresh-ground coffee, a Nicolas wine store and a florist.
In addition, there is also the Marché Biologique des Batignolles by metro Rome that is open every Saturday morning from 9AM until 2PM. This is an offshoot of the famous Boulevard Raspail Marché. You'll find organic produce and dairy goods, wine, prepared salads and pastries. If you are lucky, you can even try some home-pressed organic cider and Calvados.
Parc Monceau, one of the most beautiful parks in Paris which was built in 1769. The park, which features carefully manicured gardens, pleasing paths, small ponds and streams, and lots of pleasing sculptures, is very popular with families, affluent joggers and newly weds having their pictures taken. The park was also the subject of a painting made famous by Claude Monet called (what else!) "Parc Monceau".

Location & area
Located a 4 minute walk from metro Villiers, our Parisian Living apartment is little more than a 5 minute ride to metro Charles de Gaulle Etoile, where you will find the Champs-Elysées and Arc de Triomphe. If you take the metro in the opposite direction, or better yet, take a leisurely stroll, you will be in Montmartre.
Shopping is also all around you. Not only does the rue de Lévis Marche have many boutiques but you are only a couple of metro stops away from Galleries Lafayette and Le Printemps, large department stores with everything under one roof.
Apart from these wonderful conveniences, the apartment is 6 metro stops from Porte Maillot (where the buses come and go from Ryanair's Beauvais Airport) and 7 metro stops from Gare du Nord (where the Eurostar train and RER rail link to Charles de Gaulle is).

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.

One of our most useful tools is being able to manipulate our sofas so that we can get them into homes that otherwise are very difficult to deliver to. We have many options in the construction of the sofa that allow us to bypass your trouble issues, whether it is a small door opening, tight turns in a hallway, or a low drop ceiling in the stairwell. We will work with you to make sure that your sofa is deliverable before you buy it. Just bring us dimensions of your problem areas and we will resolve them and create a sofa that fits you and your lifestyle perfectly.
We will do everything we can to make sure that the pieces you buy make it into your home. As the owner, I feel that we really go out of our way to take care of any issues that come up. Below is a video of our delivery people hand hoisting a sofa up a 40 foot building to get a sofa that was just a little too big into a home with a very difficult stairway. Below that are some other photos of basically the same issue. We would rather solve these issues ahead of time, but at Customs House we do everything in our power to make things right for our clients!!!

Guys? GUYS?! Roll call. Does everyone have their buddy? Get with your buddy and check in, please. That is why we have the buddy system in the first place. Oh man, is everyone OK? Is anyone OK? As of this writing, millions of people are without power across the Eastern seaboard, and there are actual fatalities being reported from the storm. Fatalities! No more joking around! In 2002, I moved from New York City to Chicago less than two weeks before the infamous blackout happened, and I remember being so bummed to have missed this epic, and by all accounts "super-fun" event that brought out the best in the city. This feels very similar, although certainly more devastating and scary and disastrous. What I am trying to say is that it is very strange, as someone who has lived in New York for so long, and loved it so much, to not be there with everyone during this difficult time. Because that is what is important here: how I am feeling, and whether or not it is "weird" for me to not be trapped at home as the world drowns. Hurricane NARCISSISM! ANYWAYS, here is to hoping that everyone is safe, and warm, and dry, and has a couple of cans of tuna and a bottle of Gatorade or whatever. Nutella and pickles? I don't know what people eat in an emergency. Let's all share our 9/11 stories! Oh my God, no please do not. NO! But it really is, as I said yesterday, very hard to find anything else worth even remotely thinking or talking about. So far the best I've been able to dig up is that Jimmy Fallon and Dave Letterman both taped their late night talk shows in front of empty theaters last night. Is that something? Hahhaha, it is crazy how boring it is to talk about a late night talk show ON A REGULAR DAY WHEN THE ROOF IS NOT BLOWING AWAY. We can't talk about that. Not right when we are about to have things in perspective. If anyone is out there, let's talk about the movies and TV shows that we would take with us when everything else was washed down the drain (think "desert island discs" but with water instead of sand) and for those of you who are not back with us yet, although I know you will not hear me: please hang in there.

Guys, if I need to get an eyepatch and a helicopter or something to help you all excape from New York*, just let me know and I am on it!
*I have not seen that movie. I assume everything ends happily ever after.
How have you not seen that movie?! You are dead to me!
I keep meaning to, but end up watching The Thing like a billion times. The Thing is so good! How can anyone watch any other movie when The Thing is around, waiting to be watched?
Because Escape From New York is even better! And it never ever had a sequel to tarnish the reputation of that great movie!
The Thing falls into my favorite genre of movie, of which there are like…two…Claustrophobic SF/Horror.
Facetaco is 1/2 right. Escape From New York is 100% worth seeing, but it is not better than The Thing.
I was going to call out Ernest Borgnine as the deciding factor, but then I remembered that Willard Scott was in The Thing, so they cancel each other out. HOWEVER, Escape From New York also has an Isaac Hayes, which is more or less unbeatable.
Kurt Russel's beard is better in The Thing, and it has quirky stoner scientists.
What is Devilivator? Should I let you Google that for me?
I thought the Descent was excellent until the monsters came. It's way scarier when you are left alone with your imagination, the monsters were kind of silly and the cgi was bad. Until they showed up I was terrified though!
ah, makes sense, ptsmith. what about event horizon and sunshine?
Sunshine is a gorgeous, near-perfect movie until the very, very end – which IMHO is really corny (no spoilero).
Escape from New York is a must-see. The soundtrack is prob one of the best Carpenter ever did.
@ "face taco" your earlier comment about Escape From New York not having a sequel is a lie, there was a little number you might not have heard about called Escape From Los Angeles. Guess you will now have to atone for your lie, liar.
Random fact: I've actually considered getting lasik to prevent the off chance that there is an apocalypse and my glasses break.
Not so random fact: I hope everyone is ok.
I considered Lasik once, too. Then I learned that "laser eye surgery" isn't something that can be used offensively, so I changed my mind.
I have had that thought too! But not just in the context of Ragnarok, I've thought about it just in case I get accidentally transported in time!
Me too! What if I get transported through time without my contact solution, my back up glasses, or my inhaler? All of a sudden natural selection isn't just something they don't teach in the bible belt.
Me too! Wow, how common is this? There should be a therapy group for people who consider optional surgeries in order to be prepared for unlikely sci-fi scenarios.
Well, it just go at least one more person common. I'm going to sit here being anxious about my vision prospects post-apocalypse, thanks folks
In my dreams, I have a special mask built that looks a bit like this:
but contains a really big asthma puffer.
I'm comforted by the fact that 93% of time travel accidents send the person back to the age of dinosaurs. And dinosaurs are like large print versions of real animals.
AHHHHHH!!!! Do you have backups?
But you had time now! So much time!
But yeah, that storm was crazy.
I had a friend in the city who got a shard of metal from a construction sight in his eye during Hurricane Irene so NO ONE IS SAFE.
All clear in sunny Albany, NY. Very little of the storm seems to have hit us, despite massive amounts of panicking and preparation by the population.
I'm about to have some coffee, but as soon as I'm done with that I'll take a walk to check in on Edible Arrangements and report back.
Everyone be safe and also please let your friends and family know that you are safe! Update on Social Media so you don't have to text everybody. Just let them know what's up because they worry about you!
You watched the 4th season of The Wire for the first time!? Was it as great as you expected it to be? Most people I know generally agree that the 4th is the best season.
I'm on Season 3! The Wire is such a good show. Well worth waiting to watch. The Wire!!
We only got the very very very edge of the storm in Montreal (a little bit of wind), but today it is warm and sunny and beautiful so hopefully the weather has cleared up everywhere!
Best wishes to everyone affected by the storms. We always get a lot of love from you folks whenever parts of Australia catch on fire or go under water for long periods of time.
We even have this ad running on our TV at the moment that provides helpful advice for times like this (no joke):
Stay safe peeps, and don't swim in the flood waters.
Ahhh…spoke too soon. I just read this headline on one of our national news sites…
"Sandy not as bad as Yasi in some ways"
"while wind speeds in Sandy reached 150 kilometres an hour, Yasi posted 205km/h."
So ours was like faster, and probably full of deadly spiders too.
This, BTW, is from a country whose former foreign minister tried to suggest that our big terrorist attack was worse than yours because more of us died per capita. Because that's how you measure tragedy.
I love my country, but some of the people are the worst…
My brother lives in New York and I texted him last night advising him to try not to die, and he said "Must live long enough to get Totoro bed." (http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/my-neighbor-totoro-bed-the-whole-world-is-slightly-cuter-now-179250)
So clearly he has his priorities straight.

SVN Perform Changes
Jerry checkouts the latest version of the repository and starts working on a project. He creates array.c file inside trunk directory.
[jerry@CentOS ~]$ cd project_repo/trunk/ [jerry@CentOS trunk]$ cat array.c
Above command will produce following result
#include <stdio.h> #define MAX 16 int main(void) { int i, n, arr[MAX]; printf("Enter the total number of elements: "); scanf("%d", &n); printf("Enter the elements\n"); for (i = 0; i < n; ++i) scanf("%d", &arr[i]); printf("Array has following elements\n"); for (i = 0; i < n; ++i) printf("|%d| ", arr[i]); printf("\n"); return 0; }
He wants to test his code before commit
[jerry@CentOS trunk]$ make array cc array.c -o array [jerry@CentOS trunk]$ ./array Enter the total number of elements: 5 Enter the elements 1 2 3 4 5 Array has following elements |1| |2| |3| |4| |5|
He compiled and tested his code and everything is working as expected, now it's time to commit changes.
[jerry@CentOS trunk]$ svn status ? array.c ? array
Subversion is showing ? infront of filenames because it doesn't know what to do with these files.
Before commit Jerry needs to add this file to the pending change-list.
[jerry@CentOS trunk]$ svn add array.c A array.c
Let us check it with status operation. Subversion shows A before array.c it means file is successfully added to the pending change-list.
[jerry@CentOS trunk]$ svn status ? array A array.c
To store array.c file to the repository use commit command with -m option followed by commit message. If you omit -m option Subversion will bring up text editor where you can type a multi-line message.
[jerry@CentOS trunk]$ svn commit -m "Initial commit" Adding trunk/array.c Transmitting file data . Committed revision 2.
Now array.c file is successfully added to the repository and revision number is incremented by one.

Village Vanguard
The Village Vanguard is a jazz club located at 178 7th Avenue South in Greenwich Village, New York City.[1] The club was opened on February 22, 1935, by Max Gordon. At first, it featured many forms of music, such as folk music and beat poetry, but it switched to an all-jazz format in 1957.
The Village Vanguard, a small underground club nestled in the heart of Greenwich Village, first opened its doors in 1935.[2] Yet its history did not begin there; for years prior to 1935, the Vanguard's proprietor, Max Gordon, strove to run a successful nightclub. His first attempt at a Village Vanguard opened in 1934 on Charles Street and Greenwich Avenue. Gordon intended for the Vanguard to be a forum for poets and artists as well as a site for musical performances. Yet, due to insufficient facilities, Gordon was refused a cabaret license from the police department and was unable to create the club that he originally envisioned. In his autobiography, Gordon writes that "I knew if I was ever to get anywhere in the nightclub business, I'd have to find another place with two johns, two exits, two hundred feet away from a church or synagogue or school, and with the rent under $100 a month."[3] In 1934, Gordon moved his business and purchased the Golden Triangle, a speakeasy on 178 Seventh Avenue.[4] The Golden Triangle was an apt name for the club, as the structure of the basement facility resembled that of an isosceles triangle. After purchasing the property, Gordon changed the name of the club to the Village Vanguard and that name has remained ever since.
Like its prototype on Charles Street, the Vanguard was initially dedicated to poetry readings and folk music. Frequenters of the club in the thirties and forties would hear poetry read by poets such as Maxwell Bodenheim and Harry Kemp; they would hear folk music ranging from Lead Belly's southern U.S songs to the Duke of Iron's Caribbean calypso.[5] Painters would go there to have discussions regarding the Spanish Civil War. Political posters dotted the walls, enhancing the atmosphere of intensity and discourse.[6] The club also had a rich stand-up history, with comedians like Phil Leeds performing there.[7] Yet throughout the thirties and forties, amidst the neo-bohemian culture that flourished in the Village, jam sessions were making their presence known at the Vanguard. "The biggest reason my pals and I went to the Vanguard, though, was because there were jazz jam sessions in the afternoons on Sundays. You could go hear Lester Young, Ben Webster; all the greatest jazz musicians for fifty cents at the door, or something like that."[8] Even though jazz was not yet the main attraction at the Club, the Vanguard was still a haven for the then established small group swing idiom.[9] In the 1930s and 1940s, performers of the standing of Sidney Bechet, Una Mae Carlisle, Art Hodes, and Mary Lou Williams performed at the Vanguard. The wife of Max Gordon, Lorraine Gordon, has commented on the growth of jazz at the club, stating "in time, Max began to book acts, often three a night. Many proved to be high-caliber jazzmen."[10] In 1940, Roy Eldridge performed at the Vanguard. His virtuosic performance coupled with his dedicated following presented the possibility that jazz sets could be at the top of the bill.[11] As modern jazz developed in the forties, small group sets began to dominate the Vanguard scene. The maturation of jazz at the Vanguard can be partially attributed to the growing interest in and identification with the music among college students and artist in Greenwich Village.[12] In 1940, a resident trio was formed that included the pianist Eddie Heywood, along with Zutty Singleton, and Jimmy Hamilton.[13] Mirroring the culture in the Village,the jazz scene at the Vanguard was steadily growing.
Strictly jazz[edit]
By 1957, one commentator writes, "Gordon reversed his policy, putting jazz at the top of the bill and letting the folknicks…and the comics…fill it out. Thus the Vanguard booked Miles Davis, Horace Silver, Thelonious Monk, Gerry Mulligan, the Modern Jazz Quartet, Jimmy Giuffre, Anita O'Day, Charlie Mingus, Bill Evans (a regular), Stan Getz, Carmen McRae."[14] The booking of Thelonious Monk was a particularly interesting story that demonstrated the Vanguard's ability to take a relatively unknown musician and help launch his career. The story of Monk's introduction to the Vanguard began with the first ever encounter between Max and Lorraine. Max and Lorraine first met each other in the Bluebell Bakery, a "homey little Fire Island joint."[15] After she walked in and spotted Max (who she knew to be the owner of the Village Vanguard), Lorraine proposed to him that he showcase Thelonious Monk at the Club for a week. He agreed and on September 14, 1948, Monk opened for the Vanguard. The reception was not ideal. "[N]obody came. None of the so-called jazz critics. None of the so-called cognoscenti. Zilch." [16] But Lorraine continued to sponsor Monk as a genius and through her persistence helped him grow into the pillar of jazz he is today. From the 1950s on, the Vanguard was the leading small venue for jazz, launching many celebrated careers and sustaining others that were already aloft.[17] The Thad Jones–Mel Lewis Orchestra that eventually became the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra played from 1966 to 1990 on Monday nights.
In 1989, Max Gordon died. The day after, Lorraine Gordon closed the Vanguard. The following day, she reopened it and has continued to run the place ever since. She has not made any alterations of any kind, and kept it how it was, how people liked it.
The Vanguard has helped launched many careers and has hosted many recordings that are regarded as masterpieces in its basement, making it now a club of international renown. On 3 November 1957, during some of the first recording sessions at the club, Sonny Rollins, a tenor sax player, recorded three LPs.[18] These recordings were at the forefront of the hard-bop movement. The LPs documented two different saxophone-bass-drums trios. Rollins had shown an interest in smaller ensembles as early as 1955; in Paradox, he exchanged four-measure phrases with drummer Max Roach, with no other instrument taking part. In the Vanguard recordings we hear similar styles in arrangements.[19] In the song Old Devil Moon, Rollins is accompanied only by a bassist and a drummer. Musically, this song set the standard for the piano-less trio.[20] Following Rollins, recordings continued; there was John Coltrane's and Bill Evans's famed Vanguard titles, both from '61 (Evans was extensively recorded at the Village Vanguard just 3 months before his death in 1980). Coltrane's album was five titles taken from twenty-two recorded songs over four nights at the Vanguard. There was Art Pepper's "Thursday Night at the Village Vanguard" in '77, Tommy Flanagan's "Nights at the Vanguard" in '86 and Wynton Marsalis's voluminous seven-disc "Live at the Vanguard" in '99. "The words 'Live at the Village Vanguard' do have a direct and positive influence on an album's sales," claims Bruce Lundvall, head of Blue Note Records, a principal jazz label with over a dozen "Live at the Vanguard" titles in its catalog.[21]
