Infant schools in the UK have been praised by inspectors for identifying children as young as four as transgender.
The report by education watchdog Ofsted found that children in primary schools were encouraged to express themselves and allowed to dress as the opposite sex.
Schools were applauded for appreciating 'that a boy may prefer to be known as a girl and have a girl's name and similarly a girl may have a girl's name but wants to dress as and be a boy.'
An unnamed school was praised for its 'excellent work' in supporting children aged four to seven 'who are or may be transgender', reported the Daily Mail.
Another school, which teaches pupils aged up to 11, allows children to behave in a 'non-gender stereotypical way' and found that younger boys were allowed to dress in what is traditionally seen as girls' clothes and wear ribbons in their hair.
Trasngender activist Jane Fae told Gay Star News she welcomed the report's findings.
She said: 'It is wonderful that schools are prepared to allow children to express themselves without finding that they are being bullied, harassed or being put back into a box where they're made to feel bad about being different.'
However, Fae said it is not just a 'trans issue' and goes much wider.
She added: 'I think it goes to the roots of gender expression and as people grow up they express themselves differently and they orient differently, identifying as lesbian, gay or bisexual, and some proportion of individuals may identify as transgender.
'It is not a question of labelling people as transgender but it's about giving people the space to explore gender freely without being constrained by categories and labels, feeling like they have to choose.
'In that sense, taking pressure away from pupils and saying it's ok to express yourself and do so without fear of bullying is an absolutely wonderful thing.'
Ofsted drew its conclusions from a survey which questioned 1,357 children from 37 primary schools and 19 secondary schools in the UK.
Susan Gregory, Ofsted director of education and care, said: 'Schools must develop a positive culture so all pupils learn in a happy and safe environment.
'Teachers should receive the right training and support so they have the skills and confidence to teach pupils about diversity and the effects of bullying.'

IL Farm Bureau Against Splitting Farm Bill
After a new five year farm bill failed in the US house of representatives, some lawmakers have suggested splitting the large multi hundred billion dollar piece of legislation into two separate bills.
One bill would focus on agriculture programs and the other on nutrition programs.
The Illinois Farm Bureau has released a statement opposing such a split.
Chair of the Political Science Department at Western Illinois University, Keith Boeckleman, said he agrees.
Boeckelman said the reason farm and nutrition programs were put into the same bill in the first place was to get urban support for farm policy.
"I think what you're seeing here is maybe this coalition is weakening to some degree, the US is becoming more of a suburban nation. You have more representatives of suburban areas, but I think that splitting the farm bill up makes it really difficult for me to see how either part of it passes," Boeckelman said.
Boeckelman said that since the farm bill usually passes, many farm groups were caught off guard when the House rejected it last month.
He also predicted that congress would at least pass another extension of the 2008 farm bill. The current extension that congress passed, expires in September.
If no new bill or extension is passed, the 1949 farm bill kicks in.

An Iranian nuclear scientist who has been missing since June is believed to have defected to the US, ABC News has reported citing unnamed government sources.
Shahram Amiri, a physicist in his early 30s, disappeared after going on a pilgrimage to Mecca last year.
Three months later Iran disclosed the existence of its second uranium enrichment site near the city of Qom.
In its report, citing unnamed sources briefed on the defection, ABC said Amiri changed sides as part of a continuing CIA operation to undermine Iran's nuclear programme.
The report said officials reportedly described the defection of the award-winning nuclear expert as "an intelligence coup".
It said Amiri has been extensively debriefed since his defection, and that he helped confirm US intelligence assessments about the Iranian nuclear programme.
Earlier speculation
The Iranian's mysterious disappearance, three days after arriving in Saudi Arabia, sparked speculation that he may have defected to the US.
According to the ABC report, CIA approached Amiri in Iran through an intermediary who made an offer of resettlement on behalf of the US.
At the time Amiri was a researcher at Tehran's Malek Ashtar University working for Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation.
The US has denied any involvement, saying it had no information on him.
In December, Iran accused Saudi Arabia of handing Amiri over to the US.
Quoting from the CIA's declassified annual report to the US congress, the ABC report said: "Iran is keeping open the option to develop nuclear weapons though we do not know whether Tehran eventually will decide to produce nuclear weapons."
Since the late 1990s, the CIA has attempted to recruit Iranian scientists and officials through contacts made with relatives living in the US, according to former intelligence officials.

|Hi, I have a Mculloch/Husqvarna 42"ride on. It is 6 months old done about 40-50 hrs. The other day a rod flew through the block. A few days earlier I did an oil change, I checked 3 or 4 times to make sure I put enough in.I ran it 2 days later for 1.1/2hrs and then the next day I started it and after 1 minute bang!!
Its hard to get parts or info in Australia on these engines, but it sounds a little common. What would anybody suggest?
Replace it with a Kohler engine, or go back to the original Intek? The fella I bought it off is a Husqvarna mechanic and he reckons he might be able to get one wholesale. Otherwise theyare $1000!!
Anyone had this problem before ??
Follow-Up Postings:
|6 months old.....40-50 hours? I believe I would be shouting WARRANTY if it were mine.
If.............the crankshaft rod journals do not show any scoring (or at least "very little" scoring) I would claim defective materials and workmanship by Briggs.
|Well this is where I am stuck! It was a demo model, which had done 5 hrs at a field day. They cant sell demo models so the mechanic bought it off them and sold it to me. So, therefore no warranty.
|If no warranty, then I'd just replace the motor if the rest of mower appears workable. Briggs & Stratton is usually a reliable engine. But you could go with a different make of engine if the shaft matches your shaft.
Incidentally I have a 17.5 hp engine on my 42" mower. The difference in power is neglible. Something to keep in mind if you can get a better deal on a different hp engine.

|If you switch to a different brand engine, you'll have to deal with electrical connector surgery at a minimum. Possibly problems with the muffler and throttle linkage??
IF you stick with Briggs, you have much more versatility. For example, if the charging system is different, you can simply swap the one off the old engine.
Post the Briggs Model & Type #
|Thanks guys,
Here is the model numbers, 31p677 1517 g5 110209zd
|No matter which make of engine you install in it--have a real mechanic show you how to "read" the dip-stick! T'will save ya money in the end!
- Posted by bill_kapaun Z8 Orygun (My Page) on Sun, Jun 2, 13 at 22:38
|You'll want an engine with the dual circuit alternator, which tends to be less costly.
I don't know if yours has a fuel pump or not.
|No need for smart alec answers, maybe I should just buy a longer dipstick Rusty.
I rely on this for my wage, so I need this back on track ASAP
|that "next day when you started it and after 1 minute, Bang"... did you check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine and was it within the dipstick limit marks after the stick wipe-off and 2nd dip?
And - my Aussie friend - don't be taking Rusty to the woodshed - chances are he's older than yer daddy and has fixed more mowers than you've ever seen.
|Well, as "dip-sticks" go---you can just stick it in the hole in the block, and get the reading there! By the way--do you just pull the stick out, look at it, without wiping off the oil, and re-insert it and then start it? If you do that--its no wonder the engine went "BANG"! Maybe, by now, you might realise you aren't really as smart as your comments make you out to be! Thanks for the smarmy message, to me, from you. Be happy, when help comes to you. I don't get my feelings hurt much any more, so have at it. Yours: Rusty Jones, The Mower Man!

Pick it Rusty,
|I checked it 3 or 4 times. Yes I wiped it every check. I even cranked it over waited for 5 minutes and checked. What I cant understand is that it was running the day previous for 1 hr, then the next day it blew within a minute!
|" then the next day it blew within a minute"
Checking the day before doesn't count. It MUST be checked each days starting. Very good chance the float needle leaked diluting oil with gas, very common.
Walt Conner
|I am not a mechanic, so this is a bit double dutch.
The float needle leaked diluting oil with gas??
It runs on petrol, what is a float needle, and why is it common they leak?? You mean this will happen again??
The neighbour and I are going to pull it apart today.
|If the float needle is leaking, does that mean it needs to be replaced? Or just amended? If this was the case, what needs to be replaced apart from the block?
|According to Husqvarna HQ only 2 things can cause this, not enough oil or over reving
|"I am not a mechanic," "The neighbour and I are going to pull it apart today."
Well that should be interesting. The float needle may get a speck of dirty, flake from inside the gas line, or other contaminate under it keep it from seating. Best solution for all these engines is an inline gas shut off valve and shut the gas off whenever the engine is not running.
Hole in block? The connecting rod will be broken and most likely the crankshaft will be damaged at a minimum. Camshaft and or camshaft bearing towers may be damaged. New short block or different engine likely best route.
Petro there, gas, gasoline, here.
Walt Conner
|If the engine was low on oil, you should see evidence of scoring, or scratches, on the crankshaft, where it meets the connecting rod. If the journal is smooth and reflective, then there is some other reason for the rod failure. Possibly a defective part, or possibly over revving. You did not have the engine running long enough for overheating to occur.
|The float and the float needle valve (with valve seat) is what maintains the petrol at a specific height or level in the carby during engine operation. It is widely (through erroneously) believed that the float and needle are dependable enough to serve as a "fuel stop valve" when the engine is not running (machine is at rest between uses).
Float systems were never intended to be the sole fuel keeper for the duration of storage, even if it is a short period.
Price point marketing has caused the omission/deletion of factory installed, manually operated........fuel stop cocks a long time past.
And the upshot of that has been a lot of trashed engines due to petrol dilution of the crankcase lube oil since that time.
EVERY piece of outdoor power equipment should be fitted with an inline fuel shutoff valve and the valve should be closed except when the engine is actually running during use.
Never put blind faith in the performance of a float valve to keep your petrol confined to the tank during storage of the machine, not even overnight.
Typically, if the float needle in the carby leaks petrol into the crankcase (during the time the engine is offline), the next operating session of the engine will usually have great clouds of blue smoke pouring out the exhaust.
The reason is that the petrol in the crankcase thins out the lube oil and raises the level high enough for the crankshaft to begin frothing the mixture into a foam.
Next, as the engine begins to warm up, the volatile petrol begins to "boil off" and in doing so, the crankcase becomes pressurized and the pressure begins to vent out of the crankcase through the crankcase vent and on into the intake system of the engine............where this oil rich stream will be fed to the combustion chamber.
The result is a huge amount of smoke and a rapid depletion of lube oil from the crankcase.
Sometimes this runaway process moves so much oil out at once that the engine is literally overwhelmed with the mixture and (thankfully) the engine may stop running before the crankshaft is trashed.
Sometimes the amount of petrol is low enough that the oil moves out at a bit slower pace, but still fast enough to run the engine low, besides that, the foamy and thinned oil is not much good as a lubricant and so the engine is slain in a tortuous death.
Just tell us the condition of the crankshaft rod journals, or even better, show us some photos of your findings.
|Took it apart. These are photos of crank shaft and the puncture hole from the inside. The oil filled a 500g spaghetti sauce jar
|Thanks for posting the photo of the scored crankshaft journal. The surface is clearly scored, most likely due to lack of oil. I can't say if gasoline from the fuel system got into your oil. Since the engine was on a "demo" unit, it has an unknown service history. I agree with comments above that pertain to the need for a fuel shut-off valve between the gas tank and the carburetor. This valve allows the owner/operator to close the valve and run the carburetor dry at the end of the day, and at the end of the season. It greatly simplifies prepping an engine for off-season storage, and it helps keep the carburetor clean and free of varnish and gum residue. There is reason to think that if such a valve had been installed on your tractor as original equipment, and it the valve had been used on a daily basis, your engine would still be in good condition.
|There can always be a degree of conjecture (A.K.A "the maybes") in trying learn the actual contributing factors that lead up to catastrophic failures such as this one.
One thing now certain (since seeing photo evidence) is that some time recently (how recent is unknown, but I would guess within a few days prior to scattering).............the engine suffered a period of running with insufficient oil in the engine.........or oil that was adulterated with petrol............or the oil was worn out from being in use too long...........or inadequate grade of oil was used (all conjecture, mind you, and not an accusing pointed finger).
The bottom line in this internet analysis is that the crankshaft connecting rod journal, and the rod big end, became scored from inadequate lubrication and from that initial scoring, the damage simply propagated to cover more and more of the rod big end and the crankshaft journal. The rod began transferring aluminum alloy onto the crankshaft (called "galling"). The result of galling is somewhat akin to welding in that the material from the connecting rod and the surface of the crankshaft try to become one piece of material, instead of one component revolving inside the other.
At some point this highly overheated mass of metal begins to tear apart and shed loose pieces from the juncture of the rod and crank, and at that point the rod big end may fly to pieces and separate from the crankshaft..........or the rod may fuse sufficiently to the crankshaft that the rotational torque will break the rod somewhere between the crank journal and the piston wrist pin.
Other scenarios that can also happen in these events include the likelihood of piston galling to the cylinder (which tends to stop the piston mid stroke) and thereby breaking the connecting rod by PULLING it apart.
This engine is now recyclable in the most basic way.
|Yes, something I haven't pointed out, the day before, I was on an embankment, say 80 degrees angle. I was right on the edge and it slipped. I disengaged the blades and then it rolled backwards down the slope and then I just drove off around the end and carried on mowing. Maybe this incline had something to do with the oil?
I carried on mowing no problem, till next day when it blew after 1 minute.
Thanks guys.
Ive been on the net since googling for engines and they are all over in USA, it seems I cant get one on line here.
|just curious, mate... how long did you operate that engine at that embankment angle?
|I was on level ground, then the back wheel slipped, and it was half off for a bout 5 or 10 seconds I disengaged the blades then it slipped down back wheels first. All up I say it would have been about 20 seconds
- Posted by bill_kapaun Z8 Orygun (My Page) on Tue, Jun 4, 13 at 20:58
|That's quite some slope, since 90 degrees is vertical!
|yeah, even if that briggs had a pressurized lube system, that sharp of an operating angle did the innards no good at all. OTOH, run time in that condition was short. Perhaps a wash.
|I really don't get Rusty Jones. His posts are either giberish or they are in dialect. He is prone to posting intellegence insulting comments and when someone reacts to one of his insulting quips, RJ gets offended?
Fowks hoo livs in glas howsis shoodnt thro stowns.
|Grass - answer with the bark on:
not getting Rusty means you don't have any grasp of the subject(s) he addresses. His wisdom comes from decades of applied L&G powered eqpt experience and self-reliance... prolly has more "been-there-done-that" t-shirts than many of us will ever earn.
On top of that, he is still going strong when most of us would be proud to sit up in a wheelchair and oh, BTW, left one of his feet in Europe so you and I can still write subjective posts. IMHO, he has earned his right to post in his own way and does offer very good practical advice to many that come here looking for help.
|You know how Jethro Gibbs smacks Tony on the back of his head (NCIS)?................
Well, that's rusty.
This forum could likened to a gemstone.......rusty is but one facet in the entire array.
I (on the other hand), may be that green stuff that shows up on cheap jewelry.
May God bless rusty and all our veterans.
|rcbe, reply with muzzle on:
Ive been reading this forum for a couple of years and I'm aware of rusty's knowledge and wisdom. I also understand he enjoys employing giberish and dialect as a literary device when posting. If you want to pick rusty's brain, you have to earn the priviledge by deciphering his code. That's fine. I enjoy reading his posts.
I would be the last one to chastize him when he posts something demeaning or rude. It's a free country we live in and we have great latitude in what we say and how we say it thanks to the sacrifices of veterans. I just wasn't aware you could earn the right to insult a stranger without the expectation of some reprisal. (albeit not a right, we do grant such allowance to the mentally impared -which rusty clearly is not- if that was your purpose in pointing out his age) .
I like rusty. My point was: he should consider not pitching it if he's not willing to catch it.
|Grass - might go back and re-read Rusty's original comment and the OP's response... then tell me who went thin-skinned. and who was telling it like it was. And don't worry - I've seen Rusty in scraps that make this little ditty look like a sunday school play. Have no fear - He's got the thickest of boilerplate for skin and the Last thing you want is a firefight with him on the other side.
|Well, thanks, fellers, for the votes of confidence!
It is plain to see that some folks never learn, or refuse to learn, the rudiments of operating small (and sometimes big) Gasoline or diesel engines. Nor do they learn how to check the dip-stick/oil level. I had one customer say that he started the engine, and it went "BANG"! He said he had checked the oil several days before, but not that day. I asked him to show me his method, on one of my machines. (Mine hadn't been started that day, but was used day before.) He took out the dip-stick, didn't wipe it, looked at it, and said it had lots of oil in it! Said it looked like it had way too much oil! MMM-HMMM! I wiped the stick and told him to check it again. It was now down to the full mark.
And, thanks for defending me from the uneducated folks, who will soon learn the error of their ways, of dissing me!
Help offers will be a long time coming.
And, thanks to mownie for the pic of my favorite brewski!
That can is really old. My Cousin, who got me educated about beer and what kind to drink, would walk among tigers just to get that can, or one like it. We both owe our long life to Dave Yeungling, who managed-s the Company. by: Rusty Jones
|rcbe-Yes, I re-read it a couple of times before posting. rusty's first comment about learning how to "read" a dip-stick is stating the obvious at best and belittleing and inulting at worst. It's understandable to me that the OP might think rusty was being a smart alec which the OP expressed in his reply. I didn't think the OP's reply was over the top, he expressed his offense but his comment about using a longer dip-stick also indicated that he acknowledged rusty's point and understands how a dip-stick functions.
So far no blood, no foul.
Then rusty took it to a whole new (and IMO completely uncalled for) level. rusty interjects name calling, a crude sexual referrence and a comment regarding the OP's intellegence.
I also just re-read my own comments. At best they are poorly expressed and belittleing, at worst, outright insulting and disparaging (I had to look up "dissing"--slang term originating in the 1980s).
rusty- I didn't write with the intent to disparage you, but obviously that is what I did, the point of my post was lost, and I can understand where you (and the others) would be justified in taking that view.

( I have not said anything of an insulting nature to anybody)
For the last time, I CHECKED THE OIL SEVERAL TIMES, AND WIPED THE DIPSTICK EVERY TIME!!!!!
|Oh a customer told me he never changed his oil for 8 yrs and it still ran fine.
And Rusty, my Pop was in the navy, he passed away at 85. He knew lots of old tricks too.
My favourite was when he taught me to split a log into 8 pieces just by using 2 swings of the axe/log splitter.

Thank you.
As a first generation hill-billy transplant on my Mother's side (Dad's heritage isn't quite so stellar), it's nice to know that I can refer to a car's cubby hole and someone here will know what I'm talking about and we can worsh our hands of this unpleasantness and start fresh.
|I'll drink to that! Decaf, anyone?
|Me an' my wife seen Warshington (D.C.).
|WARSHington? Soooo refined. Your Mother musta used Emily Post to learn ya. Pronouncing it thata way would be a sure sign you're from the hollar and new to the ridge.
|Naaahh! My mother was more like "fence post" than Emily Post.
I am "dyed in the wool" hillbilly from east Tennessee.
Nothing contrived about my roots at all.
My ancestors pronounced "ruined" as if it were spelled "rernt"..... not ruint.........rernt.
|Where I live and operate my ride on, it is in the hills. So most gardens are on hills/slopes.
Do you think continued use at times on slopes caused this?
How often and long can you use a ride on, on slopes etc?? what angles etc?? cheers. I don't want this to happen again.
|Well, I can't really say whether those conditions led to the ultimate destruction or not..............there are simply too many variables and unknown factors to try and guess.
All I can say for sure is that tilting an engine far enough that the oil pump intake port becomes exposed to air, certainly could hasten wear to critical parts.
The problem with sustaining even a little bit of damage at the rod journal and rod bearing is kinda like a woman being just a little bit pregnant...................neither of them is going to remain in that condition for very long.
So, looking at the photo of the rod journal on the crank I can say with confidence that the damage I see is due to insufficient lubrication, but I can't say when the initial damage was done.
Usually, if you can stay on the tractor and it does not turn over with you, you probably aren't hurting the engine, provided that it has good oil and the prescribed quantity, in the engine.
One thing an owner can do if they want to protect against running an engine with no oil pressure is to wire in an oil pressure operated kill switch that will ground the magneto if oil pressure falls dangerously low.
Pretty simple to add one of these to a magneto ignition system. The shutdown system does not utilize any "battery hot" circuits, only ground side circuits, but it DOES require having a "momentary open" switch that you have to operate manually while cranking the engine. But not a big deal to do.
I have posted a simple sketch of the low oil shut down in the past and would be glad to hit it again if requested.
|Thanks Mownie, I appreciate your synopsis.
A sketch would be welcome also..
It is obvious the damage is from lack of lubrication, but how I don't know...
I`ll blow the top off a frothy for you.
|Rixta - just as a reference - my engine manual (Kohler twin) sez:
" Angle of Operation
Refer to operating instructions of equipment
this engine powers. Do not operate this engine
exceeding maximum angle of operation; see
specification table. Engine damage could result
from insufficient lubrication"
My tractor manual simply states the standard (Stateside) 15 degree slope max. Prolly a bit conservative, but important in case of a warranty issue.
Your engine manual and tractor manual may have different specs...
|Some operator's manuals will furthar define with time limits.
For example, my owner's manual states that to prevent damage from oil starvation that the tractor be operated at LESS than 10 min. at a 30 degree angle, but can be continuously operated at 25 degrees. This is separate from the recommended angles of operation for reasons of safety. (I'm pretty sure an attorney added the "LESS")
|OK, since I haven't figured out how to post multiple images to a single post (without going through a separate host website) I combined 2 sketches into a single image.
Both sketches illustrate the same concept but maybe one or the other will convey what needs to be done to incorporate a low oil PRESSURE shut down circuit into an engine that has a pressure LUBE system.
Lest someone be somehow misled into supposing the magneto kill function (described in the sketches) can somehow be wired up to an existing OIL LAMP circuit, let me say right now "HECK NO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT"!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trying to do that would send 12VDC current to the magneto, and that would KILL the magneto permanently (as in: Go buy a new magneto).
The oil pressure switch can be bought at auto parts stores, just make sure it is in the pressure range of 4 to 6 PSI (or whatever your local metric equivalent of that happens to be).
The momentary OPEN push button switch MUST function so that the switch provides continuity through it when the button is not being pressed down. This allows for manually over ruling the oil pressure shutdown so you can start the engine.
Once the engine is running, release the push button and the system is ready to stop spark ignition if oil pressure falls below the switch threshold limit.
Now, in operation................any drop of oil pressure that closes the oil pressure switch.............will result in the magneto being grounded, stopping the spark.
You may encounter an operating "situation" that causes the shutdown to momentarily try to kill the engine, but does not last long enough to actually stop the engine (because the oil pressure comes back up while the engine is still spinning).
If you find yourself doing things that incite this to happen.......you need to stop doing that, whatever you are doing........because that is telling you you may be operating outside of safe parameters for your engine (regarding the lubrication system).
ABOVE ALL other considerations......DO NOT think this system protects against LOW OIL LEVEL, it does not.
In all fairness, having a low oil LEVEL to begin with will increase the likelihood of having a low oil PRESSURE event during operation, but this system is not aimed to be a substitute for checking the oil level before each run of the engine, and after refilling the fuel tank if your operation requires refilling the tank before continued use.

Williams Cabin - Durango, Colorado
(completed 2005)
contractor: Steve Kawell, Durango
structural engineer: Garth Glasco, Goff Engineering, Durango
(photo by Mika Fowler)
(photo by Gunnar Conrad)
Image of Wall-E suggestive of how cabin's two "eyes" lend the cabin an anthropomorphic quality.
Examples of historical works of architecture utilizing symmetrical, double doors. (top: St. Foy Church in Conques, France, middle: Crown Hall by Mies van der Rhoe, bottom: the Villa Snellman by Gunnar Asplund). Paradoxical Symmetries by Robin Evans was a formulative text for me. In short, instead of one central door two doors can create a more complex central axis.
(top: Tristan Tsara House by Adolf Loos, middle: elementary school by Aldo Rossi, bottom: the Villa Schwob by Le Corbusier). To be clear, in no way am I trying to position the cabin amongst these masterworks on the essay of two doors. The cabin design was merely, subtly influenced by the essay.

Section and elevation of cabin. Note, the width of the interior of the cabin matches the width of the open, covered deck. Recessing the base (in an area with snow loads) required a significant steel floor structure to accomplish.
Steel foundation framing required for large snow loads at 4,500 feet above sea level.
Photo montage with plexi and basswood model. (model by Kelsey Brennan)
Detail of "serrated, aluminum bar grating" stair tread.

View of glacial valley (and house site) that runs North from Durango, Colorado.
The rear, horizontal window is recessed a bit from the outer face of the exterior wall. This recess is expressed on the ends in order to heighten the linearity of it.
The front deck void also has a similar linearity which runs north-south as a subtle reference to the glacial valley which also runs north south.
This photo was taken by, Gunnar Conrad, a well-established, commercial photographer that happens to be located in Durango, Colorado. His charge was to "take a single photograph of the cabin at sunset" for a small piece in Dwell magazine, and this is the resulting shot.
View of rear, horizontal windows with steel shutters installed. Here they are laid down in the open position. The shutters in combination with other construction techniques are intended to make the cabin as fire-resistant as possible given the local threats.
(photo by Mika Fowler)
Though there are a variety of higher-end materials in this small cabin, the floors are actually, simply painted structural plywood with filled seams. The integral kitchen sink are Lithistone, a locally produced, sustainable counter material. The cast iron tub was also locally salvaged and refinished. Walls are an artisanal mud plaster. (photo by Mika Fowler)
The deck edging as shown in these photos required a bit of complex detailing and construction in order to have the composite decking material die into the back of the stucco edge. This was accomplished by means of a structural steel edging at the top of the stucco to form a rigid edge. (photos by Mika Fowler)
Interior paneling from locally-sourced aspen wood. Cantilevered work surface, bed and stools milled from trees felled on property during construction of entry road. All structural plywood and interior paints are non-voc. (photo by Mika Fowler)

Influenza hospitalizes 200,000 Americans annually and kills 36,000. In 2005 global concern was raised about a possible influenza pandemic because the number of human deaths related to bird flu was increasing in some Asian countries. There is concern that if the virus were transmitted human to human, a global outbreak could result in millions of deaths. As a result, federal, state and local leaders continue to plan.
"Another significant planning concern is related to staffing, especially at alternate care sites," said Mark Lawley, an associate professor of biomedical engineering who specializes in health-care delivery systems and is part of the research team. "During a pandemic, we can expect that caregivers will become ill, some caregivers will be reluctant to work and others will stay home to care for their own family members. Many planners are suggesting alternate care sites during an outbreak, but finding additional staff members for these units will a big impediment."
As a result, alternate sites often are not a feasible alternative, Lawley said. Also, the strain on the work force will likely affect the standard of care.
"The public has expectations about the standard of health care," he said. "For example, doctors prescribe medications and nurses administer them, but what happens if one group is understaffed during a crisis? How are roles reassigned and how is that communicated to the patients?"
In addition to staffing and community coordination issues, the researchers also found that misunderstandings about projected mortality and illness rates are creating panic.
"In several counties, many planners are anticipating devastating impacts that even exceed the worst case scenarios historically," Avery said. "The confusion results in a sense of helplessness among some planning teams because they believe any planning will be rendered useless by the magnitude of the problem."

Certified Yoga Instructor - Practicing 10+years, Consistently Teaching 8+ years. After years of leading edge research and enthusiastic study, I have created a Mindfulness Program to join my Yoga Practice.
I offer an 8 week course to teach Mind & Body wellness. Simply put, Mindfulness is the practice of focusing your attention on the present moment, the breath, the body, and the senses without judgement. A Mindfulness Practice inhances your ability to concentrate, establish clarity, explore creativity, receive innovative thoughts and ideas and deminish stress & anxiety. The benefits of a Mindfulness Practice go on-and-on! The Bureau of Labor Statistics declares a cost savings, upward of $20,000 per year for employees who practice mindfulness. Due to the fact that the two most popular needs for medical attention are related to stress and depression. Both can be effectively addresss through mind-body alignment and techniques taught through Mindfulness.
A great deal of my studies have come from: Author and Spiritual Philosopher, Eckhart Tolle. Chade-Meng Tan of Google and the Search Inside Yourself Program. NBA Coach and Author, Phil Jackson. To name a few.
If you FEEL you NEED a better Life and if this information resinates with you. Call or email for more information. My passion is to awaken you to your best life and offer support.

John Barry Pendergast (November 3, 1933 — January 30, 2011) British film composer, probably best known for his work on the James Bond films, where he composed for no fewer than 12 Bond films.Started out with his own jazz combo "The John Barry Seven" in the late Fifties before getting into film composing when asked to arrange Monty Norman's theme for the first James Bond movie Dr. No. Stylistically, Barry's music tends toward the moody side, with extremely limited use of Fanfare (all but eliminating the brighter instruments in the orchestra in favor of deep undertones and rich, dark melodies). His most popular pieces consist of a lyrical theme accompanied by broken chords with a French horn countermelody. Because his music typically does not include iconic themes (well, except for that one), some have accused his various film scores of being "interchangeable".John Barry passed away on January 30, 2011 in New York from a heart attack.Has a page dedicated to his beautiful music.Barry created music for:

JOHN W. RILEY. This gentleman, who is a son of James Riley and Mary A. (Rose) Riley, was born in Logan County, Ky., June 18, 1855. He was reared on his father's farm in his native county, where his parents are still living; was educated in the Browder Institute, and is now devoting himself to the pursuits of agriculture with marked success. He came to Todd County in 1878, and the following year purchased of John L. Atkins the farm on which he now lives; his farm, one of the best stock farms in the county, consists of 254 acres of improved land, situated on the Allensville and Elkton road, midway between those towns. Mr. Riley is one of those aggressive, public-spirited young farmers who has only to be known to be appreciated. He is not only giving attention to general farming, but is doing much toward the improvement of the stock of his county. In 1875, in Logan County, Mr. Riley was married to Miss Eddie A. Rutherford, daughter of Ham and Permelia Rutherford, (nee Adams). Mrs. R. was born in Logan County, November 22, 1855. Her parents are now residents of Logan County. The marriage of Mr. Riley has resulted in the birth of two children: Norma, born August 30, 1876; Napoleon Riley, born February 22, 1881. Both Mr. and Mrs. Riley are members of the Allensville Christian Church. In politics Mr. R. is a Democrat, and is the Collector of Tax for the Allensville & Elk-ton Turnpike Company.

As officers plan to flood violent housing developments across the city, residents that NY1 spoke with were optimistic over whether it will make a difference. NY1's Dean Meminger filed the following report.
More police officers pounding the pavement at violent public housing developments is welcome news at the Wagner Houses.
"They get to stay out late without no gun violence or nothing like that," said one resident.
"I think having more cops is a great idea," another said.
With a combination of rookie officers, officers transferred from desk jobs and overtime, there will now be 2,700 housing bureau officers.
Broken or vandalized lights will be fixed for safety. Police floodlights will brought in as well. "We've identified those responsible for doing the mischief, whether it be graffiti or breaking lights, and we'll arrest them if they do so," said NYPD Chief of Housing Carlos Gomez.
The city says more than 100 community centers will stay open until at least 11 p.m., and 850 additional summer youth jobs are available in an effort to keep young people out of trouble. "I think it's very holistic. Covers all of the pieces of the community of a NYCHA development, as opposed to just looking at NYCHA as just something over there," said Erica Ford of the anti-violence organization Life Camp.
Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. said late-night recreational centers could be used for employment help. "Retrofit them with the necessary technology so people can go in there and have them use, for example, like a job search agency," Diaz said. "Many of the folks are looking for work. Many of the folks need to spruce up their resume."
So there are plenty of promises and plans to make housing developments safer and better. But will all of those promises be kept?
NY1 asked residents if they thought there will be broken promises.
"No, I don't think so. New mayor," one resident answered.
"I'm geared towards believing the things that have said will transpire, and the reason why is because it has started already," said another.
Community members said they must be responsible as well. "Nobody wants to be in jail. Everybody wants to have money, right. Everybody wants to be successful, right? So, why don't you stay on that path and be focused on that and not on a negative way," said one public housing resident.
The de Blasio administration will focus its crime-reduction efforts on the 15 NYCHA developments that account for nearly 20 percent of all violent crime in public housing: Boulevard, Brownsville, Bushwick, Butler, Castle Hill, Ingersoll, Patterson, Polo Grounds, Queensbridge, Red Hook, St. Nicholas, Stapleton, Tompkins, Van Dyke and Wagner.

Hospitals' Fear of 30-Day Penalties May Speed Hospice Admissions
The issue, he says is new 30-day mortality measures federal payers have woven into the healthcare reform law's value-based purchasing algorithm for incentive payments starting October 1. Hospitals with higher numbers of pneumonia, heart failure, or heart attack patients who die within 30 days of discharge during the performance period (the latest one ended June 30, 2012) will fare poorly in their overall VBP score.
That's because the weight of those three measures affects 25% of 1.25% of the hospital's Medicare base DRG payments.
But written into the rule is a key exception that Kupfer says has not gone unnoticed by clinicians and the hospitals that employ them:
If patients are designated for hospice care during their first 24 hours of their hospital stay, and then die within 30 days of discharge, they aren't counted against the hospital's score.
Is Kupfer saying that physicians will be a little quicker to enter high-risk, older patients with multiple health issues into hospice, resulting in them not getting care that could benefit them and extend their lives?
"Right," he replies. "I'm concerned that hospitals will exert pressure to move patients into hospice, even if they're appropriate patients for hospice, but will do it within the first 24 hours. Even if it puts them at odds with families," who need more time to make that important and emotional decision.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
James Sinclair, M.D. (6/27/2013 at 4:10 PM)
Excellent point and counter-point. CMS will soon be making public outcomes data regarding our own patient's 30 day mortality rate from agressive intervention such as last chemotherapy given. If peer review could put pressure on us to see our failure in appropriate hospice referral then I agree we wouldn't need payer oversight.
Michael D. Fratkin,MD (6/14/2013 at 9:08 AM)
If the effect of the ridiculous 24 hour timeframe is that hospitals dig deeper to resource and staff Palliative Care programs, I can live with the social engineering of the federal guidelines. It seems more likely, at least in my neck of the woods, that already strapped community hospitals will just try to lean on their underfunded, understaffed, and under-resourced Palliative Care "Teams" (I am a "team" of one) to impossibly improve this metric. The desired outcome is to accelerate the conversations that define patient and family desires and values to occur prior to the initiation of any treatment plan....at admission. The culture change required to give time and space for this discussion at the moment of admission is vast. It's not going to be successful putting a Palliative Medicine provider into every hospital admission process. Rather, it will be nessecary for the incentives to favor the TIME it takes to have these conversations at admission by the admitting physician/provider. The pace, pressure, workloads, lean staffing, rising documentation requirements, and the quantification of 'quality medical care' all work to speed the admission process up and pull the provider from the central human dilemma of our patients understanding the reality of their circumstances and choosing their own path. The solution awaits us at the bedside if our systems can accommodate another 15-30 minutes to meet these people on their own terms rather than in terms of their role as data in an industrial medical machine.
T R Patterson (6/12/2013 at 4:18 PM)
As an HPM doc who practiced so far 35 years, I feel there is merit in the claim that incentives will be followed by actions. Anyone who doesn't see this has not watched medicine evolve. BUT, the real question, I feel, is WHY are doctors not asking questions that raise end of life care and getting answers long before the terminal hospitalization. A large percentage of elderly patients, and those with life limiting diseases are KNOWN to be at risk well before. We as doctors have allowed (encouraged?) the myth that we can fix anything and extend life for over two generations! Are we surprised now when no one wants to ration care or allow death to be a natural part of life? We must get directives before the crisis develops- it is too hard in a crunch for most patients and families to suddenly confront death when they have been misled for so long that it won't happen.

EAST LANSING, Mich. -
The Kansas volleyball squad dropped its Saturday afternoon contest to Florida State in a four game match. The Jayhawks (2-3) notched a 30-22 victory in game one before falling 20-30, 27-30 and 16-30 to the Seminoles (3-1). Kansas will wrap up play in the Spartan Invitational later this evening in a 4 p.m. (CST) contest against the Missouri State Bears (5-1).

Emily Brown, Savannah Noyes and Flavia Lino tallied eight kills a piece to lead the Jayhawks. Brown also contributed a team-high 19 assists.
The Jayhawks used a strong combination of hitting and blocking en route to their 30-22 win in game one. The team swung for a .273 hitting percentage and went up for eight blocks to keep the Seminoles to a -.038 hitting percentage. KU's Brittany Williams went a perfect 4-for-4 in her attack attempts and Savannah Noyes added four kills of her own on a .500 clip.
The Seminoles came back firing as Kansas was unable to find the answer it needed in the match's final games.

US government tried to overthrow Castro with Twitter-like social media site
The United States government attempted to overthrow the Cuban government by creating a social media app to cause unrest in the communist country. From CNN:
The AP says U.S. government officials developed an app called ZunZuneo — named after the chirping sound of a hummingbird — to cause social unrest.
U.S. efforts to undermine the Castro regime in Havana are nothing new. There was a poison cigar, an exploding seashell, lethal pills and a fungus-ridden diving suit. But cooking up a tech startup with — literally — revolutionary intentions? That's something else.
To get around Cuba's iron grip control on technology and outside influence via the Internet, ZunZuneo was a low-tech version of Twitter fed by cell phone text messages, the AP reported.

Live your Unitarian Universalist values out loud. Make your year-end gift today!
About Us
Press Room
Page Navigation
Follow this Order of Service as you lead the opening of Workshop 11, Faith and Celebration.
Chalice Lighting
Guided Meditation
Welcome everyone and explain that this workshop is a celebration of participants' hard work and effort over the past weeks. It is a time to glean and articulate what they have learned or gained over the group's time together. It is also a time to talk about faith and covenants — those things that can sustain a couple for the long haul.
Light the chalice while reading the following words:
We light this chalice as a symbol of our faith: to seek truth and honesty, to build respect, and to foster greater trust among all people, beginning with ourselves. May we dedicate our time together to these purposes.
Introduce the guiding Unitarian Universalist Principle for this workshop: all seven Unitarian Universalist Principles.
We covenant to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person; justice, equity, and compassion in human relations; acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations; a free and responsible search for truth and meaning; the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large; the goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all; respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.
This final workshop is a culmination of all that has been explored and learned during the program. Here you will explore your faith, naming those things on which you "place your hearts." You will also be able to celebrate your part in a shared identity made up of two lives that have come together in a healthy and whole relationship. It is a well-deserved celebration of life and love among the community.
Lead participants through the following guided meditation to center them for the rest of the workshop. Read the words slowly, pausing between phrases.
I invite you into a time of silence. Try to sit with your spine straight, with your feet flat on the floor. Perhaps close your eyes. Take a deep breath, inhale . . . and exhale. Take another deep breath . . . and exhale. Again; this time, as you exhale, let go of all the pressures of the day. Let go of the "to dos," the "should haves" . . . just let them float out of the room. You can return to them later. Take another deep breath. As you inhale, take in the energy of this place. As you exhale, let go of any tension or stress you might be feeling.
[Long pause]
Come into this place of connection. Envision yourself celebrating your partner. It is a gift you are giving each other. What does it feel like? What does it look like?
[Sit in silence for two to three minutes, then say:]
Please maintain this spirit as I read the poem.
Read the following adapted excerpt from "Song of the Open Road" by Walt Whitman.
Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road, Healthy, free, the world before me.Henceforth I ask not good fortune — I myself am good fortune;Strong and content, I travel the open road.
I inhale great draughts of space; The east and the west are mine, And the north and the south are mine.All seems beautiful to me; I can repeat over to men and women, You have done such good to me, I would do the same to you.
Whoever you are, come travel with me!However sweet these laid-up stores — However convenient this dwelling, we cannot remain here.However sheltered this port,and however calm these watersWe must not anchor here;
Together! The inducements shall be greater;We will sail pathless and wild seas;We will go where winds blow, Waves dash, and the Yankee clipper speeds by Under full sail.
Forward! After the great Companions!And to belong to them. They too are on the road!Onward! To that which is endless,As it is beginningless, To undergo much, tramps of days, rests of nights,To see nothing anywhere but what you may reach it and pass it.
To look up or down no roadbut it stretches and waits for you — To know the universe itself as a road — As many roads —As roads for traveling souls.
Sit for another minute of silence, then say,
When you are ready, please bring your focus back into this room and join our check-in.

Sun, 16 Nov 2014 10:21:24 -0800
The Texas Rangers could be in the market for a veteran catcher, even though general manager Jon Daniels believes C Robinson Chirinos is capable of starting at least 100 games next season. C Tomas Telis, who has performed well in winter ball, is currently slated to be the No. 2 catcher. C Jorge Alfaro is expected to be added to the 40-man roster but is unlikely to reach the majors before September 2015.

The hotel is very near to Komotin,just at the exit of Egnatia highway (Komotini East). It is charming, modern and comfortable.The staff is very polite. In the restaurant it is possible to have lunch and dinner at a great price. Breakfast is OK. The room wasn't big, but very charming. The bathroom was excellent.
