NAGPUR: Marginal farmers undertaking horticulture can now hope for good government support. Some schemes in horticulture have been brought under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA).
They relate to farmers with less than five acres of land and those belonging to SC/ST and below poverty line (BPL) categories. This support for some horticulture crops like mango, orange, pomegranate, cashew, sapota, custard apple, amla, tamarind, Jamun, Kavat, etc is now double the funds allotted for the same crops under the state employment guarantee scheme.
At present, famers get Rs 46,147 and Rs 43,800 for mango graft and seedling per hectare respectively and Rs 31,030 for orange grafts under the state scheme.
But under MNREGA these amounts have been raised to 91,882 and Rs 86,290 for mango graft and seedling respectively for a period of three years to be released in three installments. Similarly for orange, sweet lime and Indian lime graft, the figure under state EGS is just Rs 39,030 and it has been scaled up to Rs 90,830 per hectare.
Though the scheme was launched in the state as per a government resolution dated June 29, 2011, the state government would be implementing it from the coming financial year April 2012-13.
Uday Patil, district agriculture superintendent, Nagpur, told TOI that the scheme would benefit a huge number of farmers having less than five acres land whose loans were waived off in 2008, the beneficiaries of land reforms and of the Indira Awas Yojna. The funds include all charges for plantation of both seedlings as well grafts, irrigation, labour, fertilizers etc.
It will, however, be implemented through the gram panchayats and zilla parishads. The cases of farmers applying for the scheme will be first discussed in gram sabha. The technical approval would be given by block development officer (BDO) office while the administrative clearance would be given by the agriculture officer. The money would be disbursed by district collector.
To avail the scheme, farmers will have to be a job card holder himself, belong to only the listed categories, and should be land owner. They have to attach the 7/12 extract and 8-A form with the application and also clearance from the gram panchayat. The labour cost will be released through post office or the bank.
"Compared to the state EGS where the grant is fixed by the state, under MNREGA scheme the government would take care of actual expenditure involved. With clearance at local level, the scheme would be better implemented," said Patil.

After working for 24 years at what he calls a "real" job, Bob DiTommaso left the office environment to pursue his passion: photography. It wasn't an easy switch—his career move required long hours and lots of hard work—but Bob says he wouldn't change a thing. The effort paid off in the end, when he opened his own studio, Robert DiTommaso Photography.
Bob works mainly in family and children's photography, but his interests run the gamut from portraits to landscape and sports photography. Regardless of subject, the seasoned shutterbug brings a keen eye for capturing the ineffable in each and every shoot. And he prints his images in-house on a wide-format professional ink-jet printer.
When he's not taking great photos, Bob is teaching others to do so during photography workshops that take place in-studio or on-location. He even leads photography safaris, multi-day trips that trek through national parks and other breathtaking locales in search of the perfect shot of Bigfoot buying deodorant.
Sears Portrait Studio's original photographers committed their first family photos to film more than 60 years ago, and the studio's digital photographers continue the tradition of taking high-quality portraits at more than 1,000 U.S. locations open today. Each professional photographer completes a rigorous training program before they begin composing and shooting digital photographs, adopting styles ranging from formal portraits to passport photos. Their all-digital system lets customers access their photographs online, where they can add graphics before ordering prints for collages, greeting cards, mugs, and broken-mug collages.

SANW: Expanding into dormant alfalfa
By Ian Gilson, CFA S&W Seed ( SANW ) has purchased the rights to a portfolio of dormant alfalfa seeds that are suited to colder climates. The company's current product mix is more suited to hot climates and this extends its available market into colder climes. About 80% of the alfalfa seed sold in the US are the dormant varieties. This is additional potential business and does not replace the production of non-dormant seeds. The plants that produce these seeds are grown in colder climates and S&W Seed will have to make arrangements with growers, or lease or buy land to produce the seeds. The selling prices are less than those of the non-dormant varieties and gross margins would also be below the current level. Gross margins for the full fiscal year 2011 were 37% and the dormant seed margins would probably be closer to 30%. Some of the varieties acquired have been sold in the North American market in prior years so growers have experience with them. Other varieties will be developed by S&W Seed to be more productive. Plantings will start this fall and seed should be available for sale in the fall of 2013. Please visit scr.zacks.com to access a free copy of the full research report.

Love the colors!
I really love the colors on this top, but almost didn't buy it because it said deep V-neckline. I don't mind the neckline being a little low, but not to low. This top has a sexy neckline but not as low as I thought it would be. It is gorgeous, and I bought a second one because I like it so much. I have already got lot's of compliments on it too. I just love it! :)

Moved into my newly built home 2.5 years ago...
Lennox 3.5ton condenser and filter unit with an All-style evap coil. Evap coil GONE after only 2.5 years! Failed on the evap coil itself where they fused the aluminum to copper The AC guy said I can probably expect this repair AGAIN b/c the evap coil are either A. getting eatin by the new r410a oil or B. pressures are too high Say thanks to the EPA and poor manufacturing processes for this headache (errr.. wallet-ache) |

chris I am sorry for your trouble. Is there any warranty? Without knowing more details, I have to offer these thoughts. You need to spread that blame a little more to include both the dealer and yourself. I never recommend a third party coil for a new system. It most always benefits the manufacturer and dealer but rarely the homeowner. If there is a warranty replacement, then I would ask dealer to negotiate a settlement with All Style and install a matching Lennox coil. Perhaps others on this forum can make comments and suggestion. Again sorry for your trouble. IMO |
thanks for the reply yes, 5year parts warranty, labor wasnt cheap though, nor was the freon problem is (or so I hear) carrier and trane have a patent on the all tin evap coils (the "good" ones) - at least until it expires I will say that the lennox coil that was installed this time around looked like it actually passed QA. The All-style that was removed was a sad looking piece of aluminum - esp at the welds and IMPORTANT points. I am in the metal mfg bus and it truly was JUNK. Let that be known. I'd acknowledge if it looked like an install error but it looks like my homebuilder opted for the cheaper evap coil but said evap coil should have never passed a QA pressure test. I really am surprised I have not heard others chime in. This issue is becoming more and more popular according to my research and all my phone calls. My father was flabbergasted in this failure - "My old r22 system has been fine for 9 years" he said. Allstyle Evaporator Coils are Junk 410 |

Home > News > Publications > The Journal > 2012 > June > Diabetes Refresher Courses Available at Springfield Hospital
Published on May 24, 2012
It is important as a diabetic to stay current with your diet, technology and current trends. A refresher course can do just that or energize your current program.
The focus of the Center for Diabetes at Springfield Hospital is to help patients achieve and continue blood glucose control by balancing meals, exercise and medication, when necessary.
Refresher courses are available with small class sizes for easy instruction. Classes are lead by a registered nurse and registered dietician both certified in diabetes education. Courses available include basic diabetes care, pump therapy, and intensive management. Attendees are encouraged to bring food and blood sugar logs, as well as your favorite food labels for an interactive discussion.
"We have had a very positive response to our refresher courses. Once you receive your initial diabetes education, it is important to continue monitoring your diabetes and receive continued education so you can make the right decisions for your health," says Mary Jane McDevitt, RN, BSN, CDE, director of the Center for Diabetes.
The basic refresher course will "refresh" or energize your diabetes self-management program. In addition, it will update you on the newest in diabetes management as well as blood glucose patterns, exercise and medications.
The dietician will work with you to update your meal plan, put your carbohydrate skills into practice and choose foods that will positively affect your blood sugar and your weight. The basic refresher course is offered for two hours the first Tuesday of the month from 1 to 3 p.m.
The intensive management refresher (IMT) course is a follow up to the intensive management program if you are on multi-dose injections of insulin or on pump therapy.
The refresher course will discuss blood glucose patterns and how to achieve better blood glucose control by utilizing all the tools available with an insulin pump. The dietician will help you update your meal plan and fine tune your blood sugars factoring in carbohydrates.
Although a person with diabetes does not need rapid acting insulin with proteins and fats; it is important to discuss keeping calories within target and choosing healthy lean proteins and monounsaturated fats to protect our heart. The intensive management course is offered from 1 to 3 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month.
The insulin pump refresher course reviews the basic insulin pump features and those advanced features to improve blood glucose control. The instructor will review sensors and downloading your insulin pump to improve control.
Insulin to carbohydrate and sensitivity ratios will be reviewed and updated, as needed. This course is offered from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on the third Thursday on the month.
The Center for Diabetes accepts most major insurance plans. Many class registration fees are also covered by insurance.
For more information about the Center for Diabetes or to enroll in a refresher course, call (610) 325-8920 or visit http://www.crozerkeystone.org/services/diabetes/.

Interview: Christian Senrud
Photos: Aaron Smith unless otherwise noted.
Stereo has a long history of riders who possess that extra little something that subtly sets them apart from the others. Ethan Fowler, Jason Lee, Pastras, Renaud, Raymond, Clint and on and on. They're all different but because of their finesse, power and individual styles and takes on skateboarding, they all emanate that classic Stereo vibe that we've come to expect from the Sound Agency. So when last year Stereo announced some team additions I was curious who would be on board. Alex was one of them and sure enough his skating has that subtlety inherent to all the classic Stereo riders.
I met Alex in the van on the way out to Arizona for the first Stereo team trip in a few years. He was one of the more motivated people on the trip, skating every spot and getting something at pretty much every one of them whether it was for the cameras or not. After the trip he kept the ball rolling, going out with Aaron and various photographers to shoot, so we decided to do an interview with him to get to know him a little better. Enjoy. :
Who are you, where are you from and who do you ride for?
My name's Alex Schmidt, I'm from Leucadia, California and I skate for Stereo, Theeve Trucks, Insight clothing and I actually just got my first Nike box yesterday so I'm pretty stoked on that.

Domestic animals, like this water buffalo in Viet Nam, live intimately with humans and provide renewable resources to humans that communicate well with them. Photo by Greg Luna. 20 July 2010 — It's no secret to any dog-lover or cat-lover that humans have a special connection with animals.
On Pangaea, latitude and rain dictated where species lived. PROVIDENCE, R.I.
[Brown University] — Aggregating nearly the entire landmass of Earth, Pangaea was a continent the likes our planet has not seen for the last 200 million years. Its size meant there was a lot of space for animals to roam, for there were few geographical barriers, such as mountains or ice caps, to contain them. Chinese fossils shed light on evolutionary origin of animals from single-cell ancestors. Evidence of the single-celled ancestors of animals, dating from the interval in Earth's history just before multicellular animals appeared, has been discovered in 570 million-year-old rocks from South China by researchers from the University of Bristol, the Swedish Museum of Natural History, the Paul Scherrer Institut and the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences.
All life evolved from a single-celled universal common ancestor, and at various times in Earth history, single-celled organisms threw their lot in with each other to become larger and multicellular, resulting, for instance, in the riotous diversity of animals. However, fossil evidence of these major evolutionary transitions is extremely rare. Do Humans Matter? New research may show that Neandertals did not go extinct.
By Philip Guelpa 27 December 2011 The recently reported results of genetic research comparing samples of fossil Neanderthal DNA with that of modern populations around the world appear to indicate that modern humans outside of Africa derive some portion of their genetic material from Neanderthals. This finding, if supported by further research, has important implications, not only in answering the longstanding question of what happened to the Neanderthals, but more importantly for our understanding of the relative weight of cultural versus biological adaptation in human evolution. Since the discovery of human-like fossils in the Neander Valley of German in the mid-19th century, anthropologists and others have debated the question of how closely Neanderthals, as this fossil group was named, were related to modern humans.

104 at my place in San Jose today. So many fried leaves, wilted plants. Thankfully this doesn't happen often here in Nor Cal.
I wonder how you guys do it in Texas. I was in Austin one summer for a month and it was at least 95 each day I was there. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It sucks! I am from San Diego, so this is a real learning experience. I shade my vegetables and sometimes it works. In south TX (I am 100 miles south of Austin), it can make a large difference. Even planted sweet potatoes in partial shade, If it's a real blister--like last year--little helps. Fruit trees gotta be really tough, My latest plan is to try anti-transpirant, though I am hesitant. On the bright side, every success is a true thrill! |

The toughest months are July, Aug and Sept. You just got to plant some heat loving veggies in June like beans, okra and sweetpotatoe. You can for get about tomatoes untill Oct. If you can keep the tomatoe plant alive through the summer you can get a second crop Oct/Nov. With plenty of water and mulch fruits and veggies thrive. I find I have more problems with bugs than the heat most years but I think the heat is harder on the gardener than the plants. |
Last year some places in TX had more than 100 days at or above 100F, yikes!!! Here at 4500ft elevation only 3 days. Just north of here in Midland-Odessa at 3000ft about 65 days. But even here with a total 2 inches rain for the year it was tough sledding. If you have good soil and plenty of water most plants can stand the heat. Without those factors it's tough. This year is much better so far, 3.5 inches rain already. But 6 hails along with that, only one with real damage. It took out about 2/3 of my watermelon that were small and set. More are setting now so it's OK. |
I can't imagine the heat. My bro worked in houston and is now up in dallas. Some say people get used to it. And no rain? You know...desertification is at y'alls doorstep! I'd expire as well as perspire! Real friendly people though. Everybody will be up at the great lakes in 50years, trying to extend their 'straws'. |

I was just thinking yesterday about the easter egg roll. So a lucky few get invited to the White House but they close it to the public? How many weeks of White House tours does one easter egg roll party cost?
- March 8, 2013 at 10:19 am
Cost more than the 18K saved by closing the WH tours. 35,000 people attending this years event. With that many on the grounds SS details will spend super O/T to cover.
Best part is, it's going to be played out on April 1st.. April Fools Day.
As usual, the WH press release by Blarney was typical – "Bo & Mo have made extraordinary efforts to make [the White House] the people's house". So parties and concerts will continue until further notice, but sorry, no tours for the common people. Oh and a nice (possible) summer trip planned to the Vineyard.
- March 8, 2013 at 9:22 am
After reading the story about the Easter Egg Roll, I now understand why Bo was posed with those ears earlier in the week. The "bunny person" was furloughed but Bo is to take their place.

After two years of slow-playing their hands and folding at every raise made by MrObama, the Congressional Repubs finally chose to call his bluff and match every raise. Holding a hand he knew could not win and not willing to lose more of his political chips, he folded.
Being a sore loser, MrObama then refused to bring the chips and dips when it was his turn to provide snacks for the game.Former Presiden "Bubba" Clinton, an admitted adulterer, is asking the Supreme Court to overturn the DOMA. After years of refusing to honor his own vows of marriage, MrClinton is asking the Court to make marriage a simple legal contract to pay each others debts and to allow the partners to "pull the plug" when medically advised.
SenPaul's recent filibuster has brought hope to millions of Americans of both parties that we can save our constitution from tyrannical acts of a President.
His vocal opponents were not members of the opposing party, but from his own. Regardless of the swift and stunning rebukes from two leading Senators, SenPaul is unbowed.The traditional Easter Egg Roll will be held on the WhiteHouse grounds in defiance of mandated sequestration cuts that forced the President to close the doors to any WhiteHouse tours by schoolchildren. MrsObama, who was in favor of eliminating the constant flow of ill-mannered obese people traipsing through her home, was adamant that the Easter Egg Roll be held as planned because she has already purchased her Easter attire and wants the public to admire her new Easter bonnet.
WhiteHouse spokesperson claims that the US can stop any nuclear warhead missiles that might come from North Korea by shooting them down somewhere in Arizona or Texas. The two states were chosen for the detonation of the bombs because of their sparse populations and their refusal to admire the President as he deserves.
A charge of misogynist discrimination was charged by a previously unknown journalist who claims the WhiteHouse does not provide a private room for her to pump the milk from her breasts. After outlining the horrors of having to pump the milk from her breasts in a unisex bathroom, the complaining lactating woman insists that the WhiteHouse provide her with a lactating station; a certain room with a lounge chair, a TV, and a full time attendent to help her pump the milk from her breasts. No mention was made of what happens to the milk from her breasts after it has been pumped. .

text: Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman Biography Winning 60 percent of the vote, Carolyn G. Goodman became the mayor of the city of Las Vegas on July 6, 2011. Her husband of 50 years and 12-year, term-limited mayor, Oscar B. Goodman, administered the oath of office. It is the only known instance of a spouse succeeding a spouse as mayor in the United States. Among her priorities as mayor, Carolyn has championed improvement in inner-city schools pushing for early learning preschool programs, tutorials for ESL students and their parents, bringing together a coalition of public, private and nonprofits partners to participate in the achievement based and measurable educational initiatives. In a county in which all public education is controlled by an independently elected Board of Trustees and implemented by a superintendent, her role continues to be through the bully pulpit. The mayor helped accomplish the passage of a long-awaited Nevada Film Tax Credit in 2013, which is expected to bring significant new film investment and jobs to Nevada. She has spearheaded efforts to formalize policies for the new food truck industry, curb underage drinking downtown and update related Las Vegas Municipal Code provisions. She has been a galvanizing force for bringing together the nonprofit social service agencies in southern Nevada to create a collaborative and establish a valid database of 501[c][3]s for donor evaluation. Carolyn has been an advocate of Las Vegas' $44.9 billion tourism industry and sits as a board member on the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. She also serves on the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance (LVGEA) and Las Vegas Events. The mayor also serves on the Blue Ribbon Committee for Clark County Child Welfare Services. Additionally, she holds national leadership roles as a member of the United States Conference of Mayors (USCM, is a member of its Advisory Board, vice-chair of its Task Force on Education Reform, and serves as the Chair of the Mayors' Business Council. In June of 2013, she hosted the 81st annual gathering of the National Conference of Mayors in Las Vegas. The USCM honored her with the Mayors' 2014 Large City Climate Protection Award. Carolyn is well known in the Las Vegas community for founding The Meadows School in 1984, Nevada's first nonprofit, college preparatory school for pre-kindergarten through 12th grades. Carolyn planned and oversaw the entire day-to-day operations for 26 years orchestrating and creating the curricular development; overseeing the budget; hiring administration, faculty and staff; and managing the entire physical plant and fundraising endeavors for the organization. During this time, Carolyn never had ownership of the school as it was incorporated as a 501[c][3] entity. Furthermore, during her 26 years in leadership, Carolyn never took a salary. She retired in June 2010. Carolyn and her husband moved to Las Vegas from Philadelphia in 1964 as relative newlyweds arriving in August with only $87 between them. Initially, Oscar (a member of the Pennsylvania Bar) worked for the District Attorney's office while Carolyn began work in the hotel industry. Thereafter she worked as a vocational counselor in West Las Vegas for the Department of Labor training and building employment opportunities for African Americans in a then-segregated city. While her husband traveled the country (establishing what became an outstanding criminal law career winning high-profile cases), Carolyn raised their four infant children simultaneously earning a master's degree in counseling at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Carolyn has served the people of Las Vegas by volunteerism and therein in leadership in many community nonprofit boards, charities and service organizations. She has proven her deep commitment to the community and continues to be devoted to the highest quality of life for all southern Nevadans by her efforts and dedication. Her children have gone on to be extremely successful, each of whom went on to graduate schools out-of-state and each of whom has now returned to live in Las Vegas and raise their own families (six grandchildren to date). The eldest son, Oscar Jr., is a MD/PhD specializing in the clinical treatment of and research for prostate cancer and oncology. His doctoral degree is in molecular pharmacology and structural biology. The other two sons, Ross and Eric, are both attorneys. Ross is a retired Major in the U. S. Marine Corps and serves in private legal practice in Las Vegas. Eric is a third generation alumnus of the University of Pennsylvania Law School and is currently a Las Vegas Justice of the Peace. Daughter Cara began working in human resources consulting and information technology after completing her undergraduate and graduate studies at Stanford University in Human Resources. She completed a second master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and works in the burn unit in the public hospital. |

".. some patients in their 10th year on methadone who are reluctant to leave it" - i.e. from one crutch to another. I think I agree with 'Sometimes'. Perhaps our efforts to minimize the pain and suffering associated with 'getting clean' or 'drying out' are contributing to the high rate of relapse. Is it possible that the stark memory of a painful rehabilitation unassisted by methadone or other drugs would help addicts more in the long term? When we look at the enormous costs and grief for families and society that accompanies addictive drugs, we have to ask whether it is time for a two pronged approach. The first step is to take the manufacture and distribution of pot out of the hands of criminals and assign responsibility for it to the liquor commission. (Yes, I realize that alcohol is addictive - but one battle at a time please.) That will free up an enormous amount of money and energy that can be redirected to the interdiction of harsher drugs. The second step is to make treatment of addicts mandatory under law. For those for whom voluntary treatment doesn't work, incarceration would be necessary. The latter would be outside the prison system unless the addict is found guilty of crimes other than the possession of addictive drugs. I don't insist this is the only solution, but I think it is high time that we considered other strategies and therapies. The current system simply doesn't work.

Sometimes I wonder if society is better off to put these people in a room for as long as it takes for the drugs to wear off. Withdrawal is rough, really rough. I wouldn't wish it on anybody. Crime has escalated because of drugs. Needles are left out in the open. People are getting killed. Some time of being sick may make them think seriously about going back on drugs.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release September 30, 2011
Fort Myer, Virginia
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. (Applause.) Secretary Panetta,
thank you for your introduction and for your extraordinary leadership.
Members of Congress, Vice President Biden, members of the Joint Chiefs,
service secretaries, distinguished guests, and men and women of the finest
military in the world.
Most of all, Admiral Mullen, Deborah, Michael, and I also want to also
acknowledge your son Jack, who's deployed today. All of you have
performed extraordinary service to our country.
Before I begin, I want to say a few words about some important news.
Earlier this morning, Anwar al-Awlaki -- a leader of al Qaeda in the
Arabian Peninsula -- was killed in Yemen. (Applause.) The death of
Awlaki is a major blow to al Qaeda's most active operational
affiliate. Awlaki was the leader of external operations for al Qaeda in
the Arabian Peninsula. In that role, he took the lead in planning and
directing efforts to murder innocent Americans. He directed the failed
attempt to blow up an airplane on Christmas Day in 2009. He directed the
failed attempt to blow up U.S. cargo planes in 2010. And he repeatedly
called on individuals in the United States and around the globe to kill
innocent men, women and children to advance a murderous agenda.
The death of al-Awlaki marks another significant milestone in the broader
effort to defeat al Qaeda and its affiliates. Furthermore, this success is
a tribute to our intelligence community, and to the efforts of Yemen and
its security forces, who have worked closely with the United States over
the course of several years.
Awlaki and his organization have been directly responsible for the deaths
of many Yemeni citizens. His hateful ideology -- and targeting of
innocent civilians -- has been rejected by the vast majority of Muslims,
and people of all faiths. And he has met his demise because the
government and the people of Yemen have joined the international community
in a common effort against Al Qaeda.
Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula remains a dangerous -- though weakened
-- terrorist organization. And going forward, we will remain vigilant
against any threats to the United States, or our allies and partners. But
make no mistake: This is further proof that al Qaeda and its affiliates
will find no safe haven anywhere in the world.
Working with Yemen and our other allies and partners, we will be
determined, we will be deliberate, we will be relentless, we will be
resolute in our commitment to destroy terrorist networks that aim to kill
Americans, and to build a world in which people everywhere can live in
greater peace, prosperity and security.
Now, advancing that security has been the life's work of the man that we
honor today. But as Mike will admit to you, he got off to a somewhat
shaky start. He was a young ensign, just 23 years old, commanding a small
tanker, when he collided with a buoy. (Laughter.) As Mike later
explained, in his understated way, when you're on a ship, "colliding with
anything is not a good thing." (Laughter.)
I tell this story because Mike has told it himself, to men and women
across our military. He has always understood that the true measure of
our success is not whether we stumble; it's whether we pick ourselves up
and dust ourselves off and get on with the job. It's whether -- no matter
the storms or shoals that come our way -- we chart our course, we keep our
eye fixed on the horizon, and take care of those around us -- because we
all we rise and fall together.
That's the story of Mike Mullen. It's the story of America. And it's the
spirit that we celebrate today.
Indeed, if there's a thread that runs through his illustrious career, it's
Mike's sense of stewardship -- the understanding that, as leaders, our
time at the helm is but a moment in the life of our nation; the humility,
which says the institutions and people entrusted to our care look to us,
yet they do not belong to us; and the sense of responsibility we have to
pass them safer and stronger to those who follow.
Mike, as you look back as your four consequential years as chairman and
your four decades in uniform, be assured our military is stronger and our
nation is more secure because of the service that you have rendered.
Today, we have renewed American leadership in the world. We've
strengthened our alliances, including NATO. We're leading again in Asia.
And we forged a new treaty with Russia to reduce our nuclear arsenals.
And every American can be grateful to Admiral Mullen -- as am I -- for his
critical role in each of these achievements, which will enhance our
national security for decades to come.
Today, we see the remarkable achievements of our 9/11 generation of
service members. They've given Iraqis a chance to determine their own
future. They've pushed the Taliban out of their Afghan strongholds and
finally put al Qaeda on the path to defeat. Meanwhile, our forces have
responded to sudden crises with compassion, as in Haiti, and with
precision, as in Libya. And it will be long remembered that our troops
met these tests on Admiral Mullen's watch and under his leadership.
Today, we're moving forward from a position of strength. Fewer of our
sons and daughters are in harm's way, and more will come home. Our
soldiers can look forward to shorter deployments, more time with their
families, and more time training for future missions. Put simply, despite
the stresses and strains of a hard decade of war, the military that
Admiral Mullen passes to General Dempsey today is the best that it has
ever been.
And today, thanks to Mike's principled leadership, our military draws its
strength from more members of our American family. Soon, women will
report for duty on our submarines. And patriotic service members who are
gay and lesbian no longer have to lie about who they are to serve the
country that they love. History will record that the tipping point toward
this progress came when the 17th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
went before Congress, and told the nation that it was the right thing to
Mike, your legacy will endure in a military that is stronger, but also in
a nation that is more just. (Applause.)
Finally, I would add that in every discussion I've ever had with Mike, in
every recommendation he's ever made, one thing has always been foremost in
his mind -- the lives and well-being of our men and women in uniform.
I've seen it in quiet moments with our wounded warriors and our veterans.
I saw it that day in the Situation Room, as we held our breath for the
safe return of our forces who delivered justice to Osama bin Laden. I saw
it at Dover, as we honored our fallen heroes on their final journey home.
Mike, you have fulfilled the pledge you made at the beginning -- to
represent our troops with "unwavering dedication." And so has Deborah,
who we thank for her four decades of extraordinary service, her
extraordinary support to our military families, her kindness, her
gentleness, her grace under pressure. She is an extraordinary woman,
Mike. And we're both lucky to have married up. (Applause.)
Now the mantle of leadership passes to General Marty Dempsey, one of our
nation's most respected and combat-tested generals. Marty, after a
lifetime of service, I thank you, Deanie, Chris, Megan and Caitlin for
answering the call to serve once more.
In this sense, today begins to complete the transition to our new
leadership team. In Secretary Panetta, we have one of our nation's finest
public servants. In the new Deputy Secretary, Ash Carter, we will have an
experienced leader to carry on the work of Bill Lynn, who we thank for his
outstanding service. And the new Vice Chairman, Admiral Sandy Winnefeld,
will round out a team where -- for the first time -- both the Chairman and
Vice Chairman will have the experience of leading combat operations in the
years since 9/11.
Leon, Marty, Ash, Sandy, men and women of this department, both uniformed
and civilian -- we still have much to do: From bringing the rest of our
troops home from Iraq this year, to transitioning to Afghan lead for their
own security, from defeating al Qaeda, to our most solemn of obligations
-- taking care of our forces and their families, when they go to war and
when they come home.
None of this will be easy, especially as our nation makes hard fiscal
choices. But as Commander-in-Chief, let me say it as clearly as I can.
As we go forward we will be guided by the mission we ask of our troops and
the capabilities they need to succeed. We will maintain our military
superiority. We will never waver in defense of our country, our citizens
or our national security interests. And the United States of America
--and our Armed Forces -- will remain the greatest force for freedom and
security that the world has ever known.
This is who we are, as Americans. And this is who we must always be -- as
we salute Mike Mullen as an exemplar of this spirit, we salute him for a
life of patriotic service; as we continue his legacy to keep the country
that we love safe; and as we renew the sources of American strength, here
at home and around the world.
Mike, thank you, from a grateful nation. (Applause.)
The White House . 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW . Washington DC 20500 .

Hi all, The 4' chain link fence that separates my neighbor's property is not only rusty, it is upside down, as is all of their chain link. Short of slapping something in fron of it (not a whole lot of room on that side of the house), is there ANYTHING I can do? Any ideas would be welcome. Thank you. |

Nope |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Fri, May 17, 13 at 11:53
If you don't want to put up your own fence, then no there is nothing you can do to your neighbor's fence. However, if you two cooperate, maybe you can put up a replacement fence together that will address your concerns and be a better containment for whatever needs to be contained. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Fri, May 17, 13 at 13:19
You could plant against it. |
I was thinking about planting something - though you might want to get the neighbor's approval first. Who knows - maybe they don't like the ugly fence either. |
Out of curiosity, what does upside down mean with regard to chain link? All the fencing I've ever used looks pretty symmetrical to me, it's never occurred to me that there might be an up or down side to it when I've been installing it. (I've probably done it wrong for decades!) Planting a nice vigorous vine (with permission, assuming the fence is not on your lot) seems like the best choice. |
- Posted by PinesEverywhere (My Page) on Fri, May 17, 13 at 14:33
Check to see if the fence is within their lot line -- if it is ON the lot line ... you have some leverage to: a.) Take it down You could always sink three/four Trellises in the ground along the fence and grow something up them on your side. This wouldn't help in the winter but it would help for three seasons. |
- Posted by woodbutcher_ca (My Page) on Fri, May 17, 13 at 19:12
Hi, Maybe some nylon fencing screen. The stuff comes in colors. You might find it used on school sites . construction sites and industrial sites. You just unroll it and wire it on the fence. It looks Ok and gives you a little privacy. Good Luck Woodbutcher |
Maybe ornamental grasses. For example, "Karl Foerster" grass grows quickly, grows into a tall column in one season, and you leave it up all winter, cut it down in March, and it grows up quickly again. We used it as a screen before we put up a fence. Or maybe put up some woven willow fencing on your side. Saw some starting around $40 for 4x10'. You can tie it to their fence if it's okay with your neighbors, or put in your own posts. |
Spray painting it black can make it less of an eyesore. That, plus some evergreen plantings would be a big improvement. |
Hi all, Thank you for the creative ideas! I like them all. Just have to figure out which is going to work best for us. I think having some kind of plant (ornamental grass sounds good to me) along with maybe the spray painting the fence black (not too excited about the prospect, but love the idea) would go a long way. My neighbor does the bare minimum on their property so the fence will stay. The upside down fence has dangerous, sharp metal prongs that I gues are supposed to go into the ground to give it more stability. A friend was over and accidentally put his hand on top of the fence, leaving a lovely gash in his hand. Not sure if there's anything to do about that. |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Sat, May 18, 13 at 11:27
The fence isn't upside down. There is no "up" or "down" with the chain link fabric. It's just probably missing the top rail or it's incorrectly installed. |
Well, that's possibly good news. Maybe we can finng" part? Thanks. |
nancita- There is also a solution for the top, sharp edge. Using a pair of standard size ViseGrips, you can work along the fenceline, grab each piece, and bend the top 3/4" or so over on itself to form a little loop. My neighbor had a 6' tall chainlink fence that he cut down to 4' with bolt cutters, and then bent over all the top edges to make it neat and safe. It went surprisingly fast. |
Hi again, Well, after comparing my neighbor's fence and mine (another story for another post), their fence is absolutely, definitely, and positively upside down. I suppose it's possible the chain links of today are the exact same top and bottm. The neighbor's fence was probably "installed" 20 years ago. he top has two loops intertwined together to make a point. The bottom doesn't. It simply has the two prongs that extend below the fence and it goes into the ground. Up or down, still have the rusty issue and have some wonderful ideas. Now if only there was a way to cap those dangerous prongs. Thanks. |

I "capped" some exposed sharp wire ends on a welded wire mesh trellis by putting a blob of dries-clear silicone caulk on each one. It was a bit of a PITA, but it makes working near the trellis safer. You can use a roller and black or dark green paint from your side to hide the rusted out links. |
nancita- Why can't you just bend them over, as I described above, with a pair of ViseGrips? |
- Posted by energy_rater_la (My Page) on Sun, May 19, 13 at 12:27
bend the tips over & plant stuff in front. ornimental grasses, evergreen bushes to hide my crack monster neighbors I bought if you decide to paint..get a rat & a string. best of luck. |
How long a fence is it? Do you think your neighbor would mind (or notice) if you put a vine on it? Doesn't hurt to ask. If it's a really sturdy fence, wisteria might be nice. Even though it goes dormant, it still has a nice woody presence and will hide most of the fence once it grows up a bit. Even grapes could be useful here. If you don't mind losing a little space and want something softer than coniferous evergreens, there are some really wonderful clumping bamboos that can stay green all winter in your zone (check out Fargesia spp.). If you plant them close to the fence, they'll swallow it up and render it invisible. The landscaping forum can be helpful if you decide to go with plants. |

Nancita, we don't know your zone or zone rules. If you are in county property in California, what you do on your side is ok! If there is a homeowner's association, different story. I suspect there is no homeowner's association, and if you live where grapes can grow, I would suggest an entire vineyard along that fence! The other thing you can do is Italian Cyprus which will block the neighbor's yard entirely! Good luck! Remember, a good neighbor is valuable. Bring a basket of goodies with your suggestions. You get more flies with honey! |
Hi all, Thank you alsuggestions! There is no doubt whatever I do , it will include some sort of plantings. I live in Zone 6 on a corner lot. So, it is my neighbors on the only side I have neighbors. They are lovely people. It isn't essential to make their yard go away, just their fence. |
Plant a hedge such as boxwood or holly in front of it. |
I don't know why people install chain link fences upside down. Maybe it just depends how you look at it as to which side is the top, but a lot of people do install it "upside down". I guess they think it deters people or animals from jumping over it. I think it just looks bad, and yes it can cut your hands or arms, or anything else that brushes against it or on it. Fyi, the bottom is where the wire that makes up the links are tied together resulting in a two-pronged jagged point. This side of the fence is typically placed towards the ground, but not always |

Lovely people as they are, they might like the points as a deterrent. I'd ask if they minded a vine, even painting. Although a vine could grow wild on their side and become a problem. Some can be very invasive, eithrr by soots or seeds. Careful selection would be needed. Double fences don't look so good, imo. |

Phil Lumbang, Aaron Axelrod and street artist Septerhed are all contributing, and they were each given the same images of reference to draw inspiration from for the 'Gift of Sight' series. Phil Lumbang used his familiar cartoon bears for his work of art, which has been displayed at the non-profit writing and tutoring center 826LA.

Reviews for Stuffed Bread Appetizers
Sort By :
"This is a winner. I added some chopped black olives and pimentos and that worked fine. I also left the ham off some of it to offer it to some vegetarian friends."
"May way 5 stars. We don't any of the raw bell pepper or celery so I added Ortrga, shredded carrots and also pimientos (I know that they are roasted red peppers) 2 8oz. of CC and sharp cheddar. a Good crunchy pickles and good cut of Ham"
"I made this recipe for a tea party and used a soft baguette. I wrapped it up the night before and put it in the refrigerator and sliced it up right before serving. It was a hit. The ladies loved it. My friend added some shredded carrots to it also and served it at a birthday party for kids and adults and they all loved it. Make sure you use really good crunchy pickles."
"I was searching for something quick and easy to bring to a "Dish to Pass" banquet. I think I found it....this sounds like the ticket!"
I think you missed the top line of the directions. It says to fill both halves of the bread with cheese mixture. By pressing both sides together firmly and wrapping in foil or plastic wrap then refrigerating over night, the two halves of of the bread should be pretty well molded together so that slicing in one piece should be easy.

Breakfast Topic: How do you handle real-life interruptions? {WoW}
Feb 12th 2012 10:58AM I used to be a hardcore "piss-in-a-bottle" raider. Early last year my fiancee and I moved in together. She needed me alot, to help with the unpacking and to spend quality time with her. So I told my guild I was taking a vacation to settle my RL stuff. Shortly after that my gf got pg. And I needed to help her more and more. All of this was on top of working a full week scheduled. So I formerly resigned as a raider (just before 4.2...*grumbledragonwrathgrumble*). Since my daughter has been born things have gotten more complicated, my soon-to-be-wife takes her when I'm working during the week, but I'm responsible at nights (weekends are split).
I've gotten back to raiding through LFR, but that (and even 5mans) haven't been the smoothest. I only queue for a group when my daughter is asleep or being cared for, however as a pure DPS class the queue can take 30min. usually from the time I queue to about half way through a dungeon or raid I'll be needed. I try to give a quick brb or afk notice, but that doesn't always go down well with groups. I have a ton of hate stories I could share.
I do feel bad when I have to afk, especially if its in the middle of a boss fight ( a big no-no), but when my little fusspot is screaming her head off...well...I gotta do my daddy duties. Oh, and it doesn't help matters that my gf doesn't quite grasp the concepts that: WoW can't be paused, that I'm playing with real people, and that my attention is necessary when I'm in a group.
The Queue: Boats {WoW}
Jan 22nd 2011 12:16PM I always thought the reason for the 5 levels instead of 10 was to keep the amount of talent points in check better and thus allowed them to prune the talent trees as they needed to without fear that players could go too deep into a second tree and do all sorts of unexpected things that would lead to balancing nightmares for the devs.
Especially since they're trying harder to balance PvP and PvE, and having too many talent points and people dipping significantly into 2 or 3 trees again could upset the balance of one and the tweaks could upset the balance of the other.
Players (in aggregate) are very good at finding unique was to use the tools given to us, and we'll leverage every bit of power we can get for an advantage.
The Lawbringer: Net neutrality and MMOs {WoW}
Jan 14th 2011 4:59PM Ahhhhh....World of Comcast a game where service is so terrible that even other MMOs that have their packets put into a queue are vastly more fun to play.
The sudden yet inevitable betrayal of gaming immersion {WoW}
Jan 8th 2011 12:01AM I don't officially RP, but when I'm questing I do a small amount in my own mind. Basically my character is an "adventurer" one of the thousands of powerful mercenaries that the Horde and Alliance have. The NPCs I help are helped in that specific way by me, but others are helping other NPCs or the same ones for different things (the fact that quests are the same for everyone is handwaved as a constraint of game design).
My character took part in the defeating of Hakkar, Rragnaros, Illidan, C'thun, Arthas, Kil'jaden, Yogg-Saron, etc. However each time he was one man in a huge army usually made up of both Alliance and Horde members (the raid sizes and faction exclusiveness again being handwaved as a constraint of gameplay, and the re-running of raids is just going back and reviewing the battles that happened).
So, my character is a hero, he did all those things, however there are also others around that are just as powerful doing similar things. See it can all fit together with a little imagination.

Faculty specializing in this area investigate a wide range of literary and narrative forms – fiction, poetry, prose non-fiction, drama, television, film, comics, maps, postcards – in the name of anatomizing the wide variety of American experiences. Our research has a considerable historical scope, from the early colonial period to the present, but concentrates on American cultures from the early nineteenth century and forward.
We are dedicated to nurturing future scholars. Our faculty teach undergraduate courses in American literature from all periods and contribute to Memorial's Film Studies Minor with courses on American film. Recent and ongoing graduate seminars led by faculty working in this area include HBO's America: Television, Culture, History and Representations of the American City, 1790-1915. We have also edited or collaborated on articles with students, publishing in the graduate journal /postscript/ and the open-access journal At the Edge. Graduate students under our recent supervision have completed dissertations on twentieth-century poetics and Cold War literature, violence in twentieth-century fiction, and theorizations of race and identity in American culture; graduate students currently under our supervision are working on international film adaptations of the works of Edgar Allan Poe and on theories of comedy in twentieth- and twenty-first century American comic strips.
Faculty in this area publish articles in a range of journals and books, including The Year's Work in Lebowski Studies, PMLA, ESQ, Journal of American Studies, The Journal of Popular Film and Television, and The Rise of the American Comics Artist: Creators and Contexts.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. — Nelson Figueroa pitched 6 1/3 innings of no-hit ball and Dan Butler accounted for all three RBI as the Pawtucket Red Sox topped the Gwinnett Braves, 3-1, on Monday.
Figueroa wound up going 7 1/3 innings, allowing a run on three hits. The 38-year-old righty fanned four as he improved his Pawtucket record to 4-3. Lefty Rich Hill retired two in the eighth and one in the ninth, earning the hold. Chris Carpenter got the save, getting the last two outs.
Pawtucket got its runs when Butler bashed a two-run homer in the second inning, and drove Tony Thomas home with a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning. For Butler, it was his first Triple-A home run of the year.
Former PawSox outfielder Josh Kroeger singled in the only run for the Braves. The run snapped a 28 1/3-inning scoreless streak for Gwinnett.
The series continues on Tuesday at 2:05 p.m. The game time was moved up five hours in anticipation of bad weather related to Hurricane Isaac.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is FRAZZLE 9 mos!
Facts about FRAZZLE 9 mos
- Breed: Collie/Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
FRAZZLE 9 mos's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Update: 6/7/12 Now healthy and ready for a loving home -- Frazzle weighs 60 pounds - of friendliness! ........Frazzle was rescued from a rural Ohio dog pound. Time was up for this youngster. No one came looking for her. Frazzle is a 9-10 mos Collie Lab mix female who needs to put on some weight. A good adult weight for her would be 50-ish lbs = full grown. Soft Black coat with Red highlights. Very friendly girl who we're still learning about. She seems to start out a bit shy but does respond to kind words and gentle touch. Crate trained, needs work on leash walking. In a home with another large dog and cat...tolerating well. Adoption fee includes, spay, up dated vaccines, heartworm & stool check. Adoption fee $160. Email firstname.lastname@example.com or check out our website at www.DogworksOhio.com for application.
Other Pets at Dogworks, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
FRAZZLE 9 mos, a Toledo Collie/Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Collie/Labrador Retriever for sale in Toledo, or seeking a Collie/Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Toledo.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Toledo already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Toledo breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Collie/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Collie/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Toledo paves the way for another one to be saved.

Blog: Is gaming for Mac finally here
Steam seems to have done what Apple could not.
I used to be a pretty hard core gamer back in the days but with work and kids, time is a bit scarce now. Also the fact that I use a Mac now contributes to my decline in gaming- Mac users don't have as much of a choice in gaming as PC users do. So with the limited time that I get for gaming, I tend to check out the "Best of the year" gaming lists that come out at the end of every year and today morning, I saw one such list at CNet called "The top 5 best PC-only games of 2010."
I knew what some of titles on that list would be- after all, Blizzard came out with a full game and an expansion pack to the most successful PC game ever this year so that was a no brainer. Civilization V was also on that list which didn't surprise me but the two that did were Dawn of War II and Amnesia. However, what shocked me is that four out of these five games were also available for the Mac.
Traditionally, Mac users are left out in the cold when it comes to gaming save for a title or two. But 2010 has been different. Other than the four games mentioned above, Mac users got to enjoy other gems like Torchlight and a bundle of valve classics like the Half Life series and Left 4 Dead. The arrival of Steam on Mac has done more for the gaming scene on Mac than any effort by Apple.
So for all of us that switched to a Mac but miss gaming from our previous platform- there is hope. Slowly but surely, Mac is making a mark for itself on the computer gaming scene and we no longer have to look at bejewelled to satisfy our gaming needs.
