Feb. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping reunited with a family in Iowa that hosted him 27 years ago as a provincial agricultural official, this time bringing with him company executives who signed deals to buy soybeans as demand for U.S. grains surges in Asia's biggest economy.
Xi, in line to begin taking over China's top leadership posts later this year, traveled yesterday to Muscatine, Iowa on the Mississippi River for a reunion with Governor Terry Branstad and the hosts from his 1985 trip when he came to see how to improve crop and livestock production as a provincial agricultural official.
Xi's visit comes as U.S. agricultural exports to China are booming, helping export growth outpace the percentage increase in imports in 2011. The bilateral trade deficit, which reached $295 billion dollars last year, has been a constant source of friction between the world's two biggest economies, with President Barack Obama telling Xi in their Feb. 14 meeting that the U.S. believes the yuan is undervalued.
"China has been a great trade partner and a key customer of Iowa soybeans, and this agreement shows a commitment on both sides to continuing that relationship," Iowa Agriculture Secretary Bill Northey said during the sales signing ceremony yesterday. "Exports are vital to the economic health of our state. China is a rapidly increasing portion of that total, and it is important we continue to build on that strong partnership."
'The Godfather'
Companies including Cargill Inc. and the Archer-Daniels- Midland Co. signed contracts yesterday to export $4.3 billion of soybeans to China. As of Feb. 2, U.S. shipments to China of grains, including corn, wheat barley, sorghum and soybeans, surged 78 percent to 695 million bushels from a year earlier, according to the Department of Agriculture. Iowa is the biggest U.S. producer of corn, soybeans, hogs and eggs.
In Muscatine, Xi visited the Victorian-style home of Sarah Lande, who held a dinner for him in 1985. He told the townspeople and officials gathered in the parlor about his first visit and how surprised they had been to hear that he watched American movies such as "The Godfather."
"It's my second visit to Muscatine after a hiatus of 27 years, and all the memories of my being here are now coming back," he said. "Coming here is really like coming back home."
Yesterday evening Branstad, then as now Iowa's governor, toasted Xi at a dinner in Des Moines, saying "Iowa farmers are proud to harvest safe and reliable agricultural products for use by the people of China."
Five Complaints
Earlier in the day, Xi spoke to business executives in Washington, including Coca-Cola Co. Chief Executive Officer Muhtar Kent, in an event co-hosted by the U.S.-China Business Council. In his speech, Xi said China's trade surplus with the world was declining as a percentage of its economy and is now in a "normal range."
"It is very important that the U.S. adjust its economic and policy structure," he said, urging the U.S. to ease restrictions on technology exports to China.
Obama has filed five World Trade Organization complaints against China since taking office three years ago. The two countries have clashed over access to each others' markets for products including steel pipes, poultry, beef, tires and music.
Before heading to Iowa, Xi met with members of Congress in Washington, including sessions with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, and his Republican counterpart Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. He also met with House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, who raised questions on human rights and religious freedom, and criticized China over intellectual property violations.
Human Rights
At the meeting with Boehner and Cantor, the U.S. side delivered a letter about the plight of Gao Zhisheng, a human rights lawyer imprisoned in China, according to a summary of the meeting released by the speaker's office. Boehner told Xi that China's enforcement of intellectual property laws was deficient, and Cantor expressed disappointment over China's veto last week of a United Nations Security Council resolution on Syria, according to the summary.
Bian Zhenhu, president of the China Chamber of Commerce of Foodstuffs and Native Produce, said during yesterday's soybean sales signing that improved relations between the world's two top economies was key in promoting more bilateral trade.
"I personally wish there was more common ground and mutual respect for the trading relationship," he said.
LA Lakers
China launched a trade promotion effort during Xi's visit that will include a drive to purchase $27 billion in U.S. products including farm goods, machinery and electronic materials, Vice Commerce Minister Gao Hucheng said Feb. 14 in Washington.
Chinese and U.S. officials, along with business executives will attend a USDA-sponsored symposium today in Des Moines aimed at strengthening trade relations, improving food security and enhancing the role of private business in agricultural development.
Later in the day, Xi flies to Los Angeles for the last leg of his visit, where additional soybean deals may be announced. He is scheduled to tour the city's port with California Governor Jerry Brown and attend a banquet in his honor. Tomorrow, his last day in the U.S., he will speak at a business conference, tour a school and attend a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

Topic Outline
Culdocentesis is a procedure performed in women in which peritoneal fluid is aspirated from the posterior pelvic cul-de-sac (pouch of Douglas) through the posterior vaginal fornix. There are few indications for this procedure in current practice. Historically, it was used to evaluate women for hematoperitoneum or a pelvic infection. However, this role has largely been replaced by evaluation with pelvic imaging, image-guided aspiration of fluid, and minimally invasive surgery.
The culdocentesis procedure is reviewed here. Other approaches to the evaluation of women with suspected pelvic bleeding or infection are discussed separately. (See "Evaluation and management of ruptured ovarian cyst" and "Clinical features and diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease" and "Ectopic pregnancy: Clinical manifestations and diagnosis".)
Culdocentesis may be used to evaluate women with pain in the lower abdomen/pelvis to determine whether intraabdominal fluid is present and, if present, to reveal the nature of the fluid (eg, serous, purulent, bloody). Thus, the procedure can be helpful in evaluating women with a suspected ruptured ovarian cyst, pelvic inflammatory disease, or ruptured ectopic pregnancy [1-4]. (See "Evaluation and management of ruptured ovarian cyst" and "Clinical features and diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease" and "Ectopic pregnancy: Clinical manifestations and diagnosis".)
Ultrasound examination has largely replaced culdocentesis because it accurately identifies the presence of abdominal/pelvic fluid, is more comfortable for the patient, and provides additional information about the pelvis, such as whether there is an adnexal mass or intrauterine pregnancy. Findings on ultrasonography are especially useful when interpreted in conjunction with laboratory test results, such as a complete blood count and pregnancy test. However, culdocentesis may be useful when ultrasonography is not readily available.
Prior to the procedure, a bimanual examination should be performed to ascertain that the posterior cul-de-sac does not contain cysts, masses, or other structures that might contaminate the peritoneal cavity if perforated or that could impede access to free fluid in the posterior cul-de-sac. A fixed retroverted uterus or a bleeding diathesis are additional contraindications.

NU Reports Second Quarter Results
Northeast Utilities (NYSE: NU) today reported earnings of $171 million, or $0.54 per share, in the second quarter of 2013, compared with earnings of $44.3 million, or $0.15 per share, in the second quarter of 2012. Second quarter 2012 results included approximately $91.5 million, or $0.30 per share, of after-tax charges related to the April 10, 2012 closing of the merger between NU and NSTAR and related merger and regulatory settlement agreements.
In the first half of 2013, NU earned $399.1 million, or $1.26 per share, compared with earnings of $143.6 million, or $0.60 per share, in the first half of 2012. Excluding merger and related settlement costs of $92.6 million, or $0.38 per share, NU earned $236.2 million, or $0.98 per share, in the first half of 2012. Results for the first half of 2013 include after-tax integration-related costs of $3.5 million, or $0.01 per share. Due to the timing of the merger, NU's six-month results from last year exclude NSTAR's first quarter 2012 earnings.
Thomas J. May, NU president and chief executive officer, said that NU's operating performance has been strong and that results for the first half of the year were consistent with NU's expectations, illustrating the benefits of the merger. "We have been very pleased with the performance of our system and our service to our customers, particularly during an extremely warm and humid first half of the summer. We continue to have a great deal of work ahead of us, but we've made considerable progress over the 15 months since our merger closed," May said. "Additionally, our financial results continue to improve as we integrate the best practices that our employees brought to this merger."
Also today, NU revised its 2013 earnings guidance by narrowing the range to between $2.45 and $2.60 per share. Prior guidance was between $2.40 and $2.60 per share.

The British Elite Championship Show for Horses
The British Elite Horse show was set up over 16 years ago, by a committee of dedicated individuals, who realised the need to have a show for family produced ponies only.

The committee would like to thank our competitors for their continued support.
We are privileged to offer a wide range of classes, ensuring there is something for everyone.
Another great feature of the British Elite is the top ten ponies from most sections go through to the evening gala performance, complete with ring guard a fantastic atmosphere with extravagant rosettes and sashes.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (release) -- Tennessee basketball coach Cuonzo Martin announced Friday that Marco Harris has been promoted to director of basketball operations.
Harris spent the past two seasons as the basketball program's student-athlete welfare coordinator.
"First and foremost, Marco is someone I know extremely well and trust," Martin said. "I know his work ethic and his character, and I see this as a role he can flourish in. He's already spent two years here at Tennessee, so he's familiar with the university's policies and procedures. This is a great opportunity for him to grow as an administrator and serve the program in a larger capacity."
In his new role, Harris oversees team administrative responsibilities, student staff and is responsible for budgetary oversight while working closely with the athletic department's senior administration.
As student-athlete welfare coordinator, Harris worked with Tennessee's basketball student-athletes to ensure that they performed at the highest level on the court, in the classroom and as members of the community. He functioned as the program's liaison to the Thornton Athletics Student Life Center as well as UT's housing, admissions and financial aid offices.
The basketball program posted two of its best semesters on record, in terms of team GPA, during Harris' two-year stint as student-athlete welfare coordinator.
Prior to his hiring at Tennessee, Harris enjoyed success both as a private business owner and as a high school and AAU basketball coach. He also held various teaching, coaching and athletic administration positions.
Harris received an associate's degree in Business Management from Southwestern Illinois College in 1992 before going on to earn his bachelor's degree in Business Management at Southwestern Oklahoma State University in 1994.
He is married to the former Ramona Knight, of Frogville, Okla.

Every NetBackup user understands the 3-tiered architecture NBU has with a Master Server, Media Servers and Clients. NetBackup 6.5 introduced a new 4th tier called a "storage server" that have been getting a lot of attention as of late since it sits at the center of NetBackup 7 deduplication, OpenStorage and even the cloud storage options.
Storage servers sit under the control of a media server in the architecture hierarchy and just like how a master server can also be a media server, a storage server can also be a master or media server. It's a nicely scalable solution since all these tiers can be on one host but as you scale up and out you have the option to start breaking out dedicated media servers and storage servers to load balance or provide multiple points of redundancy (this is backup after all).
Where storage servers break entirely new ground though is in the concept that they don't need to be a NetBackup server at all. This has never been done before with NBU since masters and media servers have always had a software component you install before they became a master or media. By opening up storage servers to 3rd parties, OpenStorage was born with an API to allow NBU to talk with these servers.
The basic reasoning behind having a storage server as a new 4th tier has to do with the fact that storage servers purpose in life is to manage disk. And unlike tape, dealing with disk comes with a lot of things like volume managers and file systems that may not work across different operating systems that media servers are running on. Media servers send data in a generic format and it wouldn't be good if it was stored in a proprietary format that only that media server or operating system could read. Think about a media server writing to a Windows NTFS file system and your Solaris media servers can't access that data anymore. NetBackup is used in a lot of large heterogeneous IT shops so not breaking the media server concept was important. Storage servers abstract the way disk is managed so media servers can continue to write a generic data format and the storage server can figure out how to store the actual data in a way it can be recalled by any other media server regardless of its platform.
For AdvancedDisk the storage server is the media server itself which means the filesystems do have to match across all the media/storage servers accessing those disks. This is the entry level disk option that lets you use all the storage server benefits of load balancing and redundancy but it comes with the limitation that all the media servers have to match in terms of the operating systems.
For OpenStorage, PureDisk and the NetBackup 5000 the storage server is outside the media server. The storage server is the DataDomain controller/head, the PureDisk Content Router or the NetBackup 5000 server. Most all of these storage servers are running a custom build of Linux and therefore handle the disks either using native Linux filesystems (EXT/riser) or in the case of Symantec we like to use Storage Foundation (it is after all our own kick-ass file system and volume manager). NetBackup media servers just send data to the storage server and it deals with all that disk stuff.
So hopefully that clears up the concept of a storage server. It's not very often that at whole new piece of architecture is added to NBU. Storage servers have legs so you'll definitely see it to be extended even further as the concept for how NetBackup manages disk.

12-15-14 Currently working on eight new tenor psalteries in my workshop. The tenor has been my most popular model. Good range of notes, 2 1/2 octave 30 strings. Starts at G below middle C. Even with that, they are still compact, slightly over 21" long. You can preview these tenor psalteries and see them in various stages of construction on my
page. While there give us a like and you will have notifications when I post anything new. A lot of what I post on there will not be on this website.
11-4-14 The 2014 East Tennessee Bowed Psaltery Gathering is now in the past. We had a wonderful time. My Facebook page has lots of pictures and videos, plus more to come. Plan to join us in 2015. I'll have all of that info up very soon.
2-20-13 I have some more tunes from a recent jam with my friends up in the Cumberland Gap area. I am playing a
D Tenor
, since most all the songs were in D. The D tenor sounds great with the dulcimers and I can even play the faster tunes, up to speed, not having to reach across to the left side for the C# and F# notes I need. They are tuned into the scale along the right. Four to five dulcimer players, two guitars, a mandolin, upright bass, and Terry was switching out between dulcimer, banjo, and the dobro. Hope you enjoy the tunes, I just want to share how the bowed psaltery works great jamming with others.

Psaltery Bows
page and scroll down to the red print to see my opinions. This stemmed from a discussion I was having the other day. I could see the common misconceptions and thought I should post an explanation of my thinking on the subject. I have also been asked where to find my adjustable tripod attachments for mounting a psaltery to a camera tripod, for double bowing. That info is at the bottom of the
page. Just go there and scroll down past the instrument listings. Four new Tenor Bowed Psalteries are almost complete. Two of them have internal pickups built in. Should be ready by early next week.

Handcrafted Bowed Psalteries
Helpful Information
Pride in Workmanship and Service
I have been building and playing bowed psalteries for the past 34 years. A love of music and woodworking began at an early age. At my fathers side, I became familiar with walnut, cherry, cedar and other woods native to North America. I gained great love and respect for the use of these materials The projects we completed provided the skills required for creating the beautiful instruments you find here today. My love for music came from my mother, she is very talented and can play the piano really great by ear. Quality and service are my top priorities. My long experience in playing the bowed psaltery gives me the knowledge to know what works well and what doesn't. My goal is to create the very best bowed psalteries available anywhere.
I love to tinker and come up with new designs. Some new ideas come out of my own head. I do listen to customers, many design changes have come from customer comments and wishes.
Please take a moment to browse the site. See the variety of figured woods used. Listen to the samples of my recordings. Visit my workshop page and see where these wonderful instruments are made. I take pride in offering lots of sound clips and videos, showing how my psalteries sound and are played. I even give you some sound clip examples of each psaltery I list for sale. I believe I am the only builder that offers this on their web site. The only better way to shop and compare, is to be standing in my workshop trying them out in person. You are even welcome to travel to East Tennessee to do that. I do all this because I am very proud of the quality bowed psalteries that I build and want you to be able to judge them for yourself.
Enjoy your time here, come back and visit often.
2015 East Tennessee Bowed Psaltery Gathering
Oct. 29 - Nov. 1
at Cove Lake State Park, Caryville, TN
just off I-75 Exit 134
Go to
page for details.
Pre-registration is required. There are only sixty-five spaces available. I already have twenty registered.
After those are claimed, the registration will be closed. Don't miss out, this is one of only a few events that are focused only on the bowed psaltery. I have spoken to a couple of folks that didn't see the part about the pre-registering requirement.
Don't plan to just show up, I'll have to be strict about turning folks away.
I'm just not going to have it be too crowded for the attendees that have followed the rules.
Green is Soprano
Blue is 2 1/2 Octave Soprano
Yellow is Tenor
Red is Baritone
Purple is D Tenor
Orange is D Psaltery
Here's how the voices of all the different models of psalteries I build, compared to the piano keyboard in pitch. You can clearly see that they all have quite a few notes in common. Some folks are confused by the names soprano, tenor, and baritone, but they are just names to distinguish each model I build. Other builders may have a different opinion of what they call the psalteries they build. The important thing to consider is the range of notes, from the lowest to the highest. This will tell you what to expect. The first sound clip listed by each psaltery I offer for sale, gives you something to listen to and hear the entire range of notes. Every builder should do the same, so you have a chance to hear and compare. Even with some of the notes overlapping, there are still differences in tone. The has a lot to do with the size of the psaltery soundbox and the type and size of strings used.

Lou Ferrigno Answers Your Training Problems
In July 1984, Lou Ferrigno had just finished a successful run as The Incredible Hulk. In this classic Q&A from MuscleMag issue #44, he answers fan questions.
[Q] Do you have training partners and do you prefer them or training alone?
[A] Training partners are sometimes necessary on movements like heavy squats, benches, seated presses to neck and occasionally for the odd set of forced reps but the great majority of the time I actually prefer to train alone.
[Q] My forearms are really skinny. How can I build them up and will it take long?
[A] If your forearms are really skinny try wrist curls 4-6 sets of 10-12 reps for the under side of the forearm and reverse curls 4-6 sets of 8-10 reps for the tops of your forearm. The time it takes to build them depends on your muscular structure and your body type. An ectomorph will always have fairly skinny forearms while a mesomorph or endomorph can build his arms up relatively quickly.
[Q] Do you believe in protein supplements and extra protein to grow? How much should I eat? I am 5′11′′ tall and weigh 175 lbs and I'd like to be closer to 200 lbs.
[A] Protein supplements are a fast and easy way to get extra protein and calories. Try and use good mild and egg protein. If you are trying to gain weight try increasing your milk and dairy products and space your meals over 5-6 smaller meals a day as opposed to eating 3 large ones. This allows you to eat more but with less bloating and discomfort and to assimilate more. Be persistent in eating those extra calories until you gain the desired weight you're after. It takes time but it will happen if you keep it up long enough.
[Q] The health club I just joined has a lot of Nautilus equipment and other machines but not too may free weights, and the dumbbells only go up to 60 lbs. Do you use a lot of machines in your training and will I be able to build my body training predominantly on machines?
[A] Except for the old basics – Lat Machine, Pulley Machine, Smith Machine, Calf Machine, Leg Extensions, Leg Curl, Leg press – I use mainly free weights in most of my exercises – Squats, Bench Presses, Dumbbell Flys, Chins, Bent Rows, Press, Laterals, Upright Rows, Shrugs, Barbell Curls, Dumbbell Curls, Tricep Extensions, Close Grip Bench Presses, etc. as these are the best at building up the body. I recommend you do the same as using machines exclusively you cannot build a championship body. If you are interested in moderate gains and/or general fitness your club facilities should be fine but if you have aspirations of being a champ one day then eventually you'll have to switch to another gym where you can lift the heavier iron. Hope this helps you.
[Q] You have a huge rib cage. What exercises did you use to develop it and can I develop mine?
[A] To develop my ribcage I used the basic deep breathing squat combined or super setted with light straight arm pullovers. These two exercises have been used together for over 40 years to build ribcages and nothing and nothing else has ever proved as effective for doing so. It's especially good if you are young as the bones and cartilage are still soft enough to expand and be pulled out. If you are over 25 it's much harder to develop your ribcage but it can still be done – it's just a lot more work.
When doing the deep breathing squat take a weight about equal to your body weight for 15-20 reps, but between each rep take 5 or 6 huge, deep breaths. By the time you are finished the squats you should be gasping for breath so immediately go and lie on a flat bench and take a light barbell (no more than 25-30 lbs.) and do 20 reps of straight arms pullovers, taking a huge breath as you lower the bar behind your neck as far as you can go and expanding you ribcage as much as you can. Start with one super set and work up to three. This should really expand your ribcage and provide a good foundation on which to build your pecs.

In France, cooking is a serious art form and a national sport.Julia Child
No other animal relies on cooked food. Perhaps something in the cooking process altered the biochemical requirements for maximal access to nutrients as well as the need to process the natural toxins found in plant and animal foods.Yoav Gilad
To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a "home" might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreationEmily Post
A measuring jug is also vital when cooking rice, as this is always measured by volume rather than by weight.Delia Smith
News is like food: it is the cooking and serving that makes it acceptable, not the material itselfRose McCaulay
Housework is a breeze. Cooking is a pleasant diversion. Putting up a retaining wall is a lark. But teaching is like climbing a mountain.Fawn McKay Brodie
Gardening is something you learn by doing - and by making mistakes, like cooking, gardening is a constant process of experimentation, repeating the successes and throwing out the failuresCarol Stocker
The most casual examination will reveal the fact that all the jokes about the horrible results of masculine cooking and sewing are written by men. It is all part of a great scheme of sex propaganda.Heywood Broun
When men reach their sixties and retire, they go to pieces. Women go right on cooking.Gail Sheehy
Reading any collection of a man's quotations is like eating the ingredients that go into a stew instead of cooking them together in the pot. You eat all the carrots, then all the potatoes, then the meat. You won't go away hungry, but it's not quite satisfying. Only a biography, or autobiography, gives you the hot meal.Christopher Buckley
When men reach their sixties and retire, they go to pieces. Women go right on cooking.Gail Sheehy
There are some forms of religion that must make God weep. There are some forms of religion that are bad, just as there's bad cooking or bad art or bad sex, you have bad religion too. Religion that has concentrated on egotism, that's concentrated on belligerence rather than compassion. But then you have to remember that this is what human beings do. Secularism has shown that it can be just as murderous, just as lethal as religion. Now I think one of the reasons why religion developed in the way that it did over the centuries was precisely to curb this murderous bent that we have as human beings.Karen Armstrong
The poet who writes "free" verse is like Robinson Crusoe on his desert island: he must do all his cooking, laundry and darning for himself. In a few exceptional cases, this manly independence produces something original and impressive, but more often the result is squalor dirty sheets on the unmade bed and empty bottles on the unswept floor.Wystan Hugh Auden
When we examine the acts of an individual, we shall find them compulsory. He is compelled to do them and has no freedom of choice. In a sense, he is like a stew cooking on a stove; it has no choice but to cook. And it must cook because Providence has harnessed life with two chains: pleasure and pain (...) there is no difference here between man and animal. And if that is the case, there is no free choice whatsoever, but a pulling force, drawing them toward any bypassing pleasure and rejecting them from painful circumstances. And Providence leads them to every place it chooses by means of these two forces [i.e. pleasure and pain], without asking their opinion in the matter.Yehuda Ashlag
I have been taking stock of my 50 years since I left Wichita. How I have existed fills me with horror for I failed in everything. Spelling, arithmetic, writing, swimming, tennis, golf, dancing, singing, acting, wife, mistress, whore, friend, even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of not trying. I tried with all my heart.Louise Brooks

LST-1157 was laid down on 3 March 1952 at Bath, Maine, by the Bath Iron Works; launched on 6 December 1953; sponsored by Mrs. John H. Spiller; and commissioned on 14 March 1954, Lt. Comdr. L. I. Reynolds in command.
Assigned to Amphibious Force, Pacific Fleet, LST-1157 conducted numerous deployments to the western Pacific into 1964. She was redesignated Terrell County (LST-1157) (q.v.) after counties in Georgia and Texas on 1 July 1955. Commencing in 1964, Terrell County performed extensive service in the Vietnam theater. On 25 March 1971, the tank landing ship was decommissioned at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Wash., and assigned to the Pacific Reserve Fleet.
LST-1157 earned one award of the Presidential Unit Citation, one award of the Navy Unit Commendation, three awards of the Meritorious Unit Commendation, and 12 battle stars for Vietnam service.

Help your child develop pre-reading skills, social skills and confidence through interactive, play-centered learning. Each week we will explore a different theme through sensory activities, dramatic play, crafts, books, games and fun! Siblings welcome.
Contact Ellen at email@example.com or 920-832-6020 to register.
Encourage your students to become strong, independent readers! This program will introduce students to a wide variety of books featuring characters just like them. We'll also take a tour of the Children's Services department. Expect this program to last approximately one hour.
This field trip meets the RL2.3 (OEU 1) Common Core Standard.
Getting library cards and/or checking out books are not a requirement to visit the library for a field trip.
Library cards may be obtained for your students if desired. This requires that completed library card applications be returned to the library at least 10 days before the visit, accompanied by a class list showing the students' home addresses. Library card applications can be found on our FAQ page. If you choose to check out books, please add 30 minutes to the amount of time you plan to stay at the library.
All library programs are free and school-age programs are taught by a professional librarian. Classrooms consisting of more than one grade may attend the program of their choice and the program will be appropriately modified. Please ask us if you would like help combining this fieldtrip with a stop at another Appleton downtown destination.
Registration begins on September 8, 2014 at 9:00am. Contact the Children's desk at (920) 832-6187 or click here to register. You MUST be registered in order to earn any incentives. Students must be in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade to participate.
First, second, and third grade students are invited to blast off into the reading atmosphere with some of the best books the library has to offer!

The goal is to read: 24 books during this time period if you're in 1st grade, 12 books during this time period if you're in 2ndgrade, and 6 books during this time period if you're in 3rdgrade, then write or dictate a book review for each book. Of these books, at least half should be from the library's booklists. While you may choose books from any of the three lists, you should be choosing books written at your reading level. Please be sure to include your full name and phone number on every review you submit. Reviews may be turned in one at a time or all at once. Every review will be read by the children's librarian.
Receive an assortment of small incentive prizes, as well as a drawing entry for a special completion prize. Register and pick-up your reading list at the Children's Service Desk or online. If you have questions, call Ellen, the school-age librarian, at 920-832-6020 or email email@example.com.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A judge has ruled that a Memphis newspaper does not have to release identifying information about readers who commented on stories related to the reorganization of Shelby County's schools.
The Commercial Appeal reports that the ruling Thursday by U.S. District Judge Samuel Mays rejects the Shelby County Commission's motion to force the newspaper to produce the identities of online commenters to 45 stories by The Commercial Appeal that ran between Nov. 19, 2010, and July 12.
The commission claimed that the comments could help them prove that state laws enabling new municipal school districts in suburban Shelby County were motivated at least in part by racially discriminatory intent.
Mays wrote that the information would not be relevant to a lawsuit challenging the creation of the six new school districts.

This recipe was super simple and had great flavor. I served with french bread as suggested and it was great with the cream cheese. I used cream cheese with 1/3 less fat and I couldn't even tell it wasn't regular cream cheese. I also used only about 6 oz of cheese in each bird as that is all that would fit. I highly suggest this recipe!
This recipe turned out great. The only thing I did different was that I was able to split an 8oz package of cream cheese between 3 game hens because I couldn't fit anymore than that inside of them. Husband said it was delicious and my kids didn't complain. My toddler even loved it.
Loved this!! I've been making cornish hens for Valentines for so many years with the same recipe thought I'd try something different. This is the one for me ... easy, fast, and YUMMY!!!!!

Check the link in my sig. I don't feel like retyping it all out and all the answers are in there.
Okay, Al long time ago (Mid Wotlk) I wrote this post and got some excelent feedback, but since then retired my Warrior in liue of Priest Pwnage... anyways, long story short.. I wanna get back into tanking, and I have always found that scouring the web for warrior info can be a bit of a nightmare.
Idealy I am looking for someone to fill in the blanks here, I can figure out the rest.
Please, and Thank you. :P
Okay so .. I have read almost every thread from here to the (shudder) Wowforums. and Still I have about 300 unanswered questions..
1.) My "Stat" Priority on gear for tanking used to be...
Armor > Stam > Block > Dodge > Parry > random Avoidance stuff > Defense. Str and Agi are in there somewhere as well...
--1.a) What is my "New" stat priority looking at a piece of gear. (Ignoring Reforge)?
2.) What are my new stat caps.
Hit -
Expertise -
Mastery -
Armor -
Dodge -
Parry -
Block -
Anything else I might be missing -
3.) Reforging.. WTF should I be looking at here. I have hear so many mixed feelings about this.. Most say right now Mastery isn't worth much .. so people are reforging the highest stat into Parry.. Some are reforging Dodge into Hit.. My brain hurts!! .. would like to see a little "reforging" chart made..
like ... Dodge sucks so try to do this!!
Dodge --> Parry
Dodge --> Mastery
Dodge --> Str
Parry --> Stam
**Those are completely contrived and I do NOT take any responsibility for anyone who reforges based on that sorry excuse for a chart.**
4.) Am I still gemming for Stam? .. The old rule of thumb was once you capped all your other Def/Avoidance stats you gemmed Stam regardless of the set bonus. Now what should I be looking at?
5.) Removed due to lack of intrest :P (my own intrest)
6.) Also removed, cause it no longer matters
7.) I love you guys.
Please keep in mind this is an old cut and paste, and probly makes 0 sense, But as I said, I am really only looking to get the "Colored" blanks filled in.
Thanx to anyone who has a look at this, and has some relevent info to share
Check the link in my sig. I don't feel like retyping it all out and all the answers are in there.

LYTHAM ST. T.Y. Hilton Jersey . ANNES, England—Unlike the guys in charge of the weather forecast, Adam Scott got everything just about right Thursday in the British Open. Scott was determined not to take himself out of contention in the opening round at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, as he had done in the first two majors this year. Caddie Steve Williams gave him a pep talk to play the first hole like it was the last one. Even more inspiration came from the international flags posted above the massive grandstand down the left side of the first tee. They werent flapping. They were sagging. In surprisingly calm conditions, Scott raced out to the lead and almost into the record book. He stood on the 18th tee needing a birdie to break the major championship scoring record, and instead made bogey to settle for a 6-under 64. It matched the lowest Open round ever at Royal Lytham and gave the Australian a one-shot lead over Paul Lawrie, Zach Johnson and Nicolas Colsaerts. "It was just like a nice walk in the park today," Scott said. "And it was not what weve experienced in the practice rounds. Im sure theres going to be some weather elements thrown at us the next three days, so just going to have to knuckle down to handle that. But Im confident. My ball striking is good. I think I can get it around no matter what the conditions are." The proof was in limp flags and red numbers on the scoreboards. Scott was among three dozen players with rounds in the 60s, a group that included Tiger Woods. Trying to end a four-year drought in the majors, Woods raced out to four birdies in seven holes to take the early lead, only to settle into a series of pars and one adventure through grass up to his knees for a lone bogey that gave him a 67. In his third Open at Lytham, Woods said it was as easy as he had ever seen it play. "The wind wasnt blowing, and were backing golf balls up," Woods said. "Thats something we just dont see." Lawrie won his British Open in nasty conditions at Carnoustie in 1999, and the Scot showed he could handle the calm weather with equal aplomb. He ran off three birdies over the last five holes. Johnson, who won the 2006 Masters in the wind and cold at Augusta National, flirted with a major record-tying 63 until a bogey on the 17th hole. Colsaerts, the big hitter from Belgium, holed out with an 8-iron on the 481-yard second hole for eagle and added four birdies for his 65. Brandt Snedeker was another shot behind at 66. "We had a little wind early on the front nine, but it kind of calmed down the second half," Snedeker said "Thats the best Americans are going to see over here." Rory McIlroy was panned last summer at Royal St. Georges for saying he prefers calm conditions, so maybe this was more to his liking. He wound up in the group at 67 after a wild day filled with great shots, bad luck and a bump on the head for a 16-year-old spectator standing in the wrong spot. McIlroy was at 3 under with four holes remaining when his drive on the 15th hole sailed to the right of the fairway. It plunked the teenager in the head and caromed farther to the right. The teen was OK. The ball settled a few inches beyond the out-of-bounds stakes near a corporate tent, sending McIlroy back to the tee to play his third shot. McIlroy gave the lad a glove on which he wrote "Sorry" with a frown face and "Rory." "He could have headed it the other way," McIlroy joked later. "It would have been on the fairway." He bounced back from that double bogey by driving the 336-yard 16th hole and two-putting for birdie, then making birdie on the final hole to join guys like Ernie Els, Masters champion Bubba Watson, Graeme McDowell and Steve Stricker, who followed an eagle from the 13th fairway with a double bogey on the next hole. One sign of the easy scoring was that no one shot in the 80s. That hasnt happened in the opening round of the British Open since 1998 at Royal Birkdale, where conditions also were benign. Woods opened with a 65 that year, only to get blown away in bad weather the next round. Perhaps bad weather is on the way. The forecast hasnt been nearly as accurate as Scott was with his tee shots on Thursday—sunshine when it calls for rain, clouds when the forecast is for dry spells. Els and his caddie, Ricci Roberts, figured out immediately that dead calm translates to low scores. "Its on today," he said. "I said to Ricci, I might not have the chance again. You never know how the weather is going to be." But even in such weather suited for low scores, Lytham still required tee shots in the fairway. It still demanded good shots. And it was a struggle for some. Lee Westwood, despite a birdie-birdie start, hit a bunker shot across the third green to take double bogey, and had to play a left-handed shot out of the back end of a pot bunker on the 13th hole as he staggered to a 73. Luke Donald made a sloppy bogey—his only one of the round—on the final hole for a 70. Justin Rose played in the same group as Woods and already was nine shots behind after eight holes. He rallied for a 74. Lytham was there for the taking—as long as the tee shots found the fairway. Phil Mickelson, a runner-up at Royal St. Georges last year, went from the left rough to the right rough on the par-5 seventh to make double bogey on the easy hole at Lytham. On the next hole, he tried to hit wedge out of a pot bunker and it got snagged in high grass just over the lip. A small search party nearly didnt find it, and Mickelson had to take a penalty shot to drop it back in the fairway. "I putted poorly today and I drove it horrific and the chipping was below average," he said. Scott had no such issues. After an early bogey when he got out of position on the third hole, he warmed up with birdies on the sixth and seventh holes, and then ran off three straight birdies on the back nine, starting with the 598-yard 11th hole that he reached in two shots. Royal Lytham was changed to a par 70 this year, and with a birdie on the 16th that put him at 7 under, Scott needed one more birdie to become the first player with a 62 in the majors. There have been 25 rounds of 63. "I was waiting to use the bathroom going to the 17th tee and I did a look at the leaderboard and realized it was a par 70," he said. "And I also probably then realized that I wasnt going to be the guy to shoot 62. Its one of those things that you dont want to go through your mind, thinking about your final score and stuff like that." He slightly pulled a 2-iron off the tee on the 18th, played out of the thick rough short of the green and failed to save par. No matter. His 64, which matched Tom Lehmans third-round score in 1996 when he went on to win his only major. Scott can only hope for the same outcome. His 18 worldwide wins include The Players Championship, the Tour Championship, and the Australian Open. He has reached as high as No. 3 in the world. He is missing the kind of trophy that defines great players. "Ive won a couple of tournaments most years, which is a good habit to have because its getting harder and harder to win out here," Scott said. "And Im looking for a win this year. But I would say I havent achieved what I wanted until I win a major." Adam Vinatieri Jersey . Boy, did he know what he was doing. Nova took a two-hitter into the ninth inning, Mark Teixiera and Robinson Cano homered and the New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays for the second straight night, 4-1 Wednesday. Dwight Freeney Womens Jersey . "Its nice to come in here with a smile," the Houston manager said after watching his team break a season-long nine-game losing streak with a 6-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. http://www.coltsfanstore.com/pat-angerer-jerseys . The American player hit 21 aces but it wasnt enough against his Belgian opponent, who is enjoying an impressive season in which he is climbing the rankings.

Fearsome NFL defensive lineman. Lovable TV dad.TORONTO, ONTARIO —T.J. Williams paid a hefty price for missing a tackle. The Toronto Argonauts released the rookie defensive back Monday after Williams missed a tackle on Montreal receiver Jamel Richardson in the Alouettes 24-12 victory at Rogers Centre on Sunday. Richardson scored on a 75-yard touchdown pass from Anthony Calvillo late in the third quarter. Williams had a shot at Richardson at about the Torronto 10-yard line and instead of making the tackle appeared to try to knock Richardson out of bounds. Dwight Freeney Jersey. But he ended up barely touching the Montreal receiver, who scored easily. The six-foot-three, 183-pound Williams joined the Argos as a free agent June 10 out of Valdosta State University. He appeared in seven games—five as a starter—and had 11 tackles and two interceptions. ' ' '

How to draft the perfect pitch in 140 charactersKorisa Geiger
Great media relations experts have to be on message and direct and to the point. This can often be the biggest challenge when pitching reporters. The key is to draft the story in a short message, whether you're pitching through the phone, by email or on social media networks.
Getting a journalist's attention has become more challenging than ever, so the first step in setting your pitch is to get them interested in your story. You can provide details, images and video once you've hooked them on your idea.
Twitter is a great way to pitch to reporters in a specific niche or location. An example is a recent media relations campaign promoting our client, the Town of Frisco, for its largest event of the year — the Colorado BBQ Challenge. The event pulls in travel and foodie reporters throughout Colorado to sample savory barbeque and experience the mountains during summer. Twitter was used as a tool to reach the target media. Here are a few tips for using Twitter for your pitch.
• Abbreviate – shorten the titles or names as much as possible but still make them readable. No need to throw out proper grammar here. Example: if the event is the "Colorado Barbeque Challenge" event, use "CO BBQ Challenge" instead.
• Use Tags - tag your client's Twitter page, but don't include every specific #hashtag associated with the topic. For example, you can use CO #BBQ Challenge, especially if you're targeting a reporter who covers barbeque.
• Create Lists – build your list of targeted media as you would in a media database — that way it's easier to find all the Twitter handles of the people you're pitching.
• Be Brief – the key to a great Twitter pitch is to include exactly what you want in a short message. Example, 40K attend @townoffrisco CO BBQ Challenge for BBQ, chef demo with celebrity Brian Malarkey, Breck Whiskey Tour & more. Details or tix DM me.
When using Twitter as a pitching tool, keep these tips in mind and you're sure to succeed. Happy tweeting!

Manus is the forgotten province of Papua New Guinea, the last frontier where tourism would never go, simply because « nothing was there ». This book aims to change this image of Manus and exposes an unknown wonderland by recording some of the diving expeditions and explorations led by Pierre Constant over a period of eight years (1990-1998). In the most remote corners of the Admiralty Island, French-born naturalist and underwater photographer Pierre Constant, known as "Kisokau" by the islanders, opens a door to the marvels of diving in Manus. Complemented with a text on natural history and human history, Manus, Lost World of the Titans features stunning photographs that reveal the colourful and vivid experiences of Pierre's dive explorations in the region. An important year for marine awareness and conservation, 1998 has been declared "year of the oceans" by the United Nations, to arouse people's consciousness to planet level. Manus, Lost World of the Titans is a small contribution which will add to our knowledge of this once forgotten archipelago in the Bismarck Sea. The underwater around Manus has to be recognised and protected right from the beginning. As a diving pioneer in the region, Kisokau is well qualified to present Manus as a new destination that will attract divers from around the world.

I continue to be stunned how watching this year's political debates has become appointment television for most people. These same folks who I've never once heard utter a political thought in their lives are now rushing home, setting up spreads of food and drink on the coffee table, even hosting parties and gatherings like it's the fucking Super Bowl, in order to watch two losers debate. Ha, "debate." Political debates are not debates. They're nothing but carefully orchestrated and choreographed theater. High school forensics leagues are more riveting and exciting and unpredictable. Does any one watch a debate nowadays and have their opinions swayed? Of course not. Because it's not a debate, it's two people standing on the same stage kinda near each other and shoe-horning their already well-tread platforms into brief snippets of answers to questions. It's a vanity contest, no more significant than the speaking portion of a beauty pageant. A sound and a fury signifying nothing. You know who the winner of these debates is? The person who speaks clearest, who smiles the most, who looks up the most, and who has the nicest suit on. It's ludicrous. George H.W. once "lost" a debate because he checked the time. Nixon lost one because he forgot to shave. And someone will "lose" tonight because they farted. Or sneezed. Or said Gesundheit to that sneeze instead of "God bless you!" ("'Gesundheit?' What are ya', a German atheist?!") Or wore clashing socks. It's insane. But, the biggest crime is that it's just fucking boring.
Your Vice Blogger will be out getting loaded tonight. Something actually fun. And though he probably won't be voting–nevertheless, as Marx said (I think) "We are all political animals"–so it's certainly possible he'll get into a drunken political debate with a buddy or two. Now that would be riveting television. That I would understand if all of America wanted to watch me drunkenly debate my likewise-drunk friends.
The only thing worse than watching a modern-day political debate is when you go to a bar and they have the debate on, muted, with the fucking closed-captioning scrolling. Are you fucking serious?! Like I want to drunkenly read the no-content ramblings of Joe Biden*. Sure. This happened to me last week and I was gobsmacked. I will not allow that to happen tonight. Any bar that does that will be quickly 86ed from my life.
And now I come to the penultimate beer review from the big care package of Minnesota brews The Captain sent me so long ago. The EPA has not much of a smell. Faint hops and pine scents. It tastes a little bland. Earthy, pine hints, slight orange tastes. No carbonation, no alcoholic bite, no bitterness = about as drinkable as a halfway decent beer can be.
A pleasant enough little pale ale. Very easy to drink and enjoy. I don't know how any one could NOT like this. Then again, I don't know how any one could LOVE it. And I still don't know how any one could love political debates. Please, just don't watch them.
