TOO MUCH PROTEIN I overheard a gentleman telling a friend that alfalfa hay had too much protein for beef cattle. Thank God for small favors! I think this myth may be related to bloat and calf scours that occurs when cattle are being fed alfalfa. Years ago, some believed that alfalfa and barley couldn't be fed together without causing bloat. There is no doubt that this can happen, but it isn't caused by excess protein. Let's look at how protein is used. Almost every feed has some protein. Part of the protein is attacked by the bugs in the paunch. This is called digestible intake protein (DIP). The remainder of the protein that escapes attack in the paunch is called undegradable intake protein (UIP). When the bugs in the paunch break down protein they convert it into their own cellular protein. This is composed of a certain group of amino acids (which are the building blocks of any protein). The animal swallows these bugs and digests and uses their proteins just like any other protein. This is very important to us and our animals because the animal can take grass, forbs, hays, and straws and simple nitrogen forms such as urea, biuret, and ammonia and make delicious tasting steak out of them. The part of the protein that escapes attack by the microbes is digested directly by the animal. It breaks the protein down into its amino acids. This allows us to feed proteins that have a better amino acid profile than that of the bugs in the paunch. Feeds such as bloodmeal and fishmeal are examples of these feeds. Scientists working in the dairy industry have determined how much of certain amino acids the cows need to produce milk. If the diet doesn't have enough of these amino acids, they incorporate them directly in the diet in a form that will escape the attack by the bugs. In the beef industry we are not only concerned with milk production; we are concerned with rate of gain, milk production, and fat deposition. That I know of, no one is feeding the paunch by-pass amino acids to beef cattle. There are many situations where cattle are eating a high protein feed. Some examples might be:
All of the above feeds have much more protein than a cow or a calf need, yet they don't cause particular problems. It's important to recognize that feeds with high protein have more energy, or TDN, than feeds with low protein. In other words, an orchardgrass hay with 16% protein will usually have more energy than an orchardgrass hay with 12% protein. This is important because animals don't perform on protein alone; they must have energy, minerals, and vitamins in their diet. When an animal doesn't have enough protein or energy in the diet, they begin to break down their own body tissues to supply these nutrients. They lose weight, and become more susceptible to disease and parasites. Examples of TDN amounts with different levels of PROTEIN.
Having extra protein, does allow us to use these feeds to supplement low protein forages such as straws and mature grass hays. I have sent many samples of mature bunchgrass to the lab for analysis. They usually come back with a protein value of 4 percent or less on a dry basis. Cows need about 7% protein in their diet before calving, so bunchgrass alone will not meet the protein needs of the cow. However feeding 5 lb of an 18% protein hay will bring the total ration up to 7%. A meadow hay having 6% protein will only need about 2.5 lb of a 16% hay to meet their needs. These figures apply to cows before calving. After calving the cow's protein needs go up to about 12%, so more high protein hay needs to be fed to meet their needs. Feeding the entire diet of
a 19% alfalfa hay will hurt your pocketbook, not the animal. The excess
protein will be used by bacteria and converted into energy to help the
cow Occasionally you may run into a feed that has a much higher protein than expected. An example might be wheat or oat hay. We might expect a range of 12 to 14% protein, but the lab test came back showing a protein content of 20%. When this happened in the past, I asked the lab to re-test the sample to make sure the protein reported was accurate, not a sample error or a mathematical error. Following that, if the high protein test was repeated, I requested a nitrate test...and low and behold a high level of nitrate was found. Remember, a lab test for protein just tests the amount of nitrogen present. The nitrogen can come from sources other than protein. In that case we fed a little of the high-nitrate hay and a much greater amount of a low or no-nitrate high. Over a period of three weeks we gradually increased the high-nitrate hay and eventually fed nothing but that hay. The cattle had adapted to the nitrates in the same way that they adapt to urea or other non-protein-nitrogen compounds. When comparing too little protein versus too much protein in a cattle diet, I'll go with an excess of protein any day of the week. It may not be as efficient as a ration with the optimum amount of protein; however it is far better than not enough protein. Michael J.

The Package
The Cryo LX comes backed very well in a cardboard box with a plastic carrying handle. On the packaging there is a large white panel with an attractive design at the left, and an image of the Cryo LX in the silver version on the right.
Both sides are this greyish-green color and simply note that this is the Cryo LX aluminum cooler for power notebooks.
The back of the box holds a full list of features in various languages, as well as giving a few more product images. We can see that this cooler comes in black and silver, as well as being able to fold up for compact portability. They even show the back of the Cryo LX and the USB and power connectivity.
Lifting the lid on the box, you can see that the inner packing is very tight and allows very little room for the cooler and accessories to be able to move around.
While the accessories are shipped under the unit, the Cryo LX is shipped inside of a plastic bag to keep the brushed aluminum finish in good shape. To center the product, just in case the box takes a bit of a beating, the high density foam on both ends did a great job with delivering me a pristine product.

Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Lord God, my savior, I cry out all day, and at night I come before you. | 1 O LORD, the God who saves me, day and night I cry out before you. |
2 Hear my prayer; listen to my cry for help! | 2 May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry. |
3 So many troubles have fallen on me that I am close to death. | 3 For my soul is full of trouble and my life draws near the grave. |
4 I am like all others who are about to die; all my strength is gone. | 4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like a man without strength. |
5 I am abandoned among the dead; I am like the slain lying in their graves, those you have forgotten completely, who are beyond your help. | 5 I am set apart with the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more, who are cut off from your care. |
6 You have thrown me into the depths of the tomb, into the darkest and deepest pit. | 6 You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths. |
7 Your anger lies heavy on me, and I am crushed beneath its waves. | 7 Your wrath lies heavily upon me; you have overwhelmed me with all your waves. "Selah" |
8 You have caused my friends to abandon me; you have made me repulsive to them. I am closed in and cannot escape; | 8 You have taken from me my closest friends and have made me repulsive to them. I am confined and cannot escape; |
9 my eyes are weak from suffering. Lord, every day I call to you and lift my hands to you in prayer. | 9 my eyes are dim with grief. I call to you, O LORD, every day; I spread out my hands to you. |
10 Do you perform miracles for the dead? Do they rise up and praise you? | 10 Do you show your wonders to the dead? Do those who are dead rise up and praise you? "Selah" |
11 Is your constant love spoken of in the grave or your faithfulness in the place of destruction? | 11 Is your love declared in the grave, your faithfulness in Destruction ? |
12 Are your miracles seen in that place of darkness or your goodness in the land of the forgotten? | 12 Are your wonders known in the place of darkness, or your righteous deeds in the land of oblivion? |
13 Lord, I call to you for help; every morning I pray to you. | 13 But I cry to you for help, O LORD; in the morning my prayer comes before you. |
14 Why do you reject me, Lord? Why do you turn away from me? | 14 Why, O LORD, do you reject me and hide your face from me? |
15 Ever since I was young, I have suffered and been near death; I am worn out from the burden of your punishments. | 15 From my youth I have been afflicted and close to death; I have suffered your terrors and am in despair. |
16 Your furious anger crushes me; your terrible attacks destroy me. | 16 Your wrath has swept over me; your terrors have destroyed me. |
17 All day long they surround me like a flood; they close in on me from every side. | 17 All day long they surround me like a flood; they have completely engulfed me. |
18 You have made even my closest friends abandon me, and darkness is my only companion. | 18 You have taken my companions and loved ones from me; the darkness is my closest friend. |

Hey Angie! I'm all caught up and LOVING your report!
I love that your family has Disney traditions that they don't like to stray from! We do too...like Root Beer Floats for breakfast at MK! It's funny the things the kids latch onto and insist we do on each trip. I'm glad you got to do some wandering in the WS on your own. I know your boys aren't big fans, but there are some really cool things to see if you slow down a bit. Speaking of that...I need to get into that caramel shop in Germany.... YUCK...rain. That's all I have to say about that. OOOHHHH...I can't tell you how excited I am that you visited AoA and posted some great pics! When (if ) we go next spring, I am seriously considering staying there. It looks amazing!

I had so much fun exploring Italy on my own. It was nice to see all those little details that we usually miss because the boys just aren't that interested. Ooohhh....after seeing all the pictures of the Lion King section at AoA, that's where I would love to stay too! The suites look amazing! I just wish they would have put a pool in that section as they did with Cars and Nemo. Thanks!!! I'm so glad you joined in!! Quote:
Since we have stayed at Pop so much, I didn't take too many pictures around the resort this trip but I'll post some more pics from my past reports later on. It really is such a fun resort!! I think you'll really like it! So cool that we were at T-Rex the same night!! I remember World of Disney being so crowded that night! Which is probably why we only popped in really quick before we decided to head over to AoA. Too funny about sounding alike! I thought the same thing when I started reading your report. I am such a super planner too!! I love planning every detail of our trip!! But, I have to admit it was so nice to slow down this trip and not stick to such a strict plan. Our days and plans changed so much this trip it made me wonder why I bothered planning at all. Ugh! We couldn't believe the amount of tour groups we saw!! They definitely got to us as well as the trip went on. |

I agree! It's so nice to have those traditions when we go to Disney! I love your Root Beer Floats for breakfast tradition!! How fun! Aww...I love the WS and it was so nice to do a little exploring on my own. I was so glad when they added Kim Possible (now Agent P) to the World Showcase! It has really gotten the boys excited about exploring the different countries. We had so much fun with our mission in Germany this trip! I think it would be so much fun to stay at the AoA resort. The Lion King rooms look so amazing (actually Nemo and Cars do too!) and the Nemo pool looked like so much fun. I wish I would have been able to get a closer look. Fingers crossed for you that you get to go next year!!! Quote:
We love WPE! You should definitely give it a try! The rain did put a damper on our first day at Epcot and I was scared it was the beginning of how the week was going to be. Luckily, the rest of the week the weather was pretty good. (for the most part) |

A Kingdom full of endless dreams...
Hi!! I hope everyone had a great weekend! DH and I celebrated our 17th anniversary over the weekend. I cant believe its been 17 years already! Anyway, you might think our plans for the weekend may have included a nice romantic dinner just for the two of us. Nope..not even close! We actually went camping instead and brought the boys along. It was a really fun weekend despite the fact it rained every day. I thought I would share a couple pictures of our adventure.
When we got home, we found this in the mailbox Weve never received one before. I was so excited!! It said From all your Disney pals, we hope you created magical memories during your visit to the Walt Disney World Resort in 2012. It was signed by Minnie, Mickey, Pluto, Goofy, Donald and Tinkerbell. So cute!! Aww .I love Disney! So, lets get on with the report shall we? Step inside our storybook, imagine whats in store. Magic Kingdom Welcome Show July 12, 2012 Magic Kingdom I always have a hard time sleeping when I know we are going to do an EMH park the next day. I dont know why maybe Im afraid we wont wake up in time or maybe its just excitement of being able to start the day so early. Have I mentioned how much I absolutely love EMH mornings? We have always been able to get so much done in that first hour. Anyway, as you can probably already tell I was up bright and early that morning and actually showered and dressed before the boys had even woken up. Needless to say they werent too thrilled when I woke them so early but once I reminded them that we were heading to our very favorite park, it didnt take them long to get up and get ready to go. It was about 6:30am or so when we made our way to the food court that morning. Of course, we had our pick of tables since the place was pretty much empty. We all split up to get our breakfast. DH and Nick decided on a warm cinnamon roll. Noah had a chocolate croissant and I had a chocolate muffin. We also grabbed a bowl of grapes to share. After breakfast, we decided to browse the gift shop for a while before we made our way to the bus stop. A short bus ride later, we arrived at the Magic Kingdom and made our way over to the center in front of the train station so we could watch the opening show. We love this show! Its a must-do for us on every trip. I took a picture of the boys waiting. Okay lets try that again. Much better boys!! The crowd started gathering It was about this time when a CM approached the boys with a handful of confetti and asked them if they would like to throw it in the air during the countdown to open the park. Of course, they happily agreed. Soon, we were hearing .. "Welcome, welcome, welcome, Welcome, welcome, welcome, A kingdom full of endless dreams for every girl and boy, Wondrous lands of make-believe will fill your heart with joy, A castle leads the entrance way to seven lands and more, Step inside our storybook, imagine what's in store." "Welcome to the place where dreams come true!" Love this show!! I think its a perfect way to start a day at the Magic Kingdom. Apparently, Im not the only one who felt this way as I watched the woman in front of me wipe her eyes and tell her husband that the show gets her every time! I couldnt agree more! We ventured over to the left and made our way inside. I made sure and grab a map so I could circle our must-dos that morning and a time guide. Aww .my very first glimpse of the castle. Seriously, there is nothing like walking down Main Street for the first time during your trip. The smell of buttered popcorn and freshly baked cookies. The sound of the train pulling out of the station and the music playing all around. But, mostly seeing the anticipation and excitement on everyone faces and the CMs happily waving with their cute Mickey hands. As crazy as it may sound to some, Main Street U.S.A. is probably my most favorite place in the Magic Kingdom and I always walk away wishing I had spent more time there. We made our way closer and closer to the castle. Beautiful!!!! We had arrived! But, now that we were there, where would we go first? Next upAre you kidding me? Another change of plans. |

Happy Anniversary!! It's nice that you went camping for the occasion and had some family time.
I love that Mickey Mail!! I've never seen it before either but really hope we get one when we're back. Always fun to get Mickey Mail! This pic made me chuckle -- I always seem to catch characters when they're blinking. You caught three!

I totally agree-there is nothing like walking down Main Street for the first time on your trip. I think part of it too is knowing that you have the whole trip ahead of you. No better way to start it off than with the opening show and a visit to the MK!

Hi there I'm a little late to the party, but it is a fantastic TR so far! A few notes I wrote down while I got all caught up:
Loved your pictures of Burlington. I went to college there and I miss it alot! How is that airport?? I never even considered going up there, but Boston is a 3 hr drive for us, and Burlington is only a little further.....hmmm, might have to look into that. I am the same way about Stacey. My trip doesn't officially start until I can unpack while watching Stacey She just gets me so excited to be there! Good choice to go to DTD the first night. Looks like a great relaxing time. We tried to do DTD a couple of times, but it was just too hot to walk around the shops (we were there right after you from July 18-23rd) I laughed at your rainy time at Epcot, not because I am mean, but because our only rainy time the whole week was our first night at Epcot too. It was horrible. When you are doing your planning, you always think "its okay if it rains, we will just throw our ponchos on and go with it", but its another story when you are there and it is a torrential downpour! Glad you got to check out AoA! We had planned on going over there to eat one day, but just never got around to it. I know the suites look amazing, but Little Mermaid is my alltime favorite movie, so if I stayed there, I would have to stay in that section.....plus, it's much much cheaper MK opening show: I get teary-eyed every time too. I don't know what it is about that darn show I had been told they didn't do it during EMHs and I was very excited to see that was wrong! And finally....yes, I agree with you about the feeling walking down Main Street. I usually walk away thinking I should've spent more time there too. This time I made sure I spent lots of time just soaking up the atmosphere there. Such a great place

Wonderful updates! I tear up every time on Main Street - many of us do! Happy Anniversary! We are close in years, 16 years for us - can't think a better thing to do then celebrate with the kids!
We are staying at AoA in October for 1 night before our Fantasy Cruise, I picked the Lion King area (Nemo was booked and even though we love the Cars movies, the rooms are a little not my taste). We can't wait to explore this resort! I am torn about just enjoying the resort and food court (we will get there about 5 pm) or taking the bus to the MK entrance and monorail to the Poly for dinner at Captain Jacks and watching Wishes on the beach???? (we just did this in March during our short water park stay at POR before going to a beach condo for the week) My mom will be with us and she hasn't seen Wishes. I guess it will depend on how we feel and the weather. I over planned the last trip we took, so I have to take a more relaxed approach next time. Erin

You are such a lucky woman to have kiddos and a hubby that will get up early enough to see the opening ceremonies at Magic Kingdom! It's been years since we've seen the show but I do remember that I teared up the last time I saw it.

I had read about getting a thank you card from Disney but we've never received one before. I was so happy when I opened the mailbox!! Love getting Mickey Mail! Too funny about the pic. I didn't even realize until you pointed it out!! Quote:
Too funny that you mentioned this because when we arrived my main focus was the show and then of course seeing the castle. But, once I finally looked around, I realized that for EMH the morning was much busier than we are used to!! |

We really like flying out of Burlington. The airport is small but still nice. We usually fly JetBlue and they have a direct flight to Orlando which works out great for us! I'm happy with our choice to visit DTD the first night. It was nice to just take it slow, do a little shopping and have a great dinner. We actually didn't find it too busy that night and since it had rained that afternoon it had cooled down a little. I don't know what it is about Epcot. The last time we went during the summer (late August), we only had one day in Epcot and it poured the whole evening. This trip, besides Epcot and one other evening it didn't rain as much as we thought it would which is good thing except it made the days so HOT! I didn't think they did the opening show at MK on EMH mornings either. I know they didn't on our last trip. It was a shortened version. I was thrilled when it was the full version!! Aww...I love that show! Quote:
Thanks for the anniversary wishes! How exciting to be going on cruise! We've often thought of going on one ourselves. They look like so much fun and so relaxing! The AoA resort was a lot of fun to explore! After seeing the pictures of the Lion King section that would be where I would like to stay as well. The rooms look amazing. Wow...that is a hard choice. Both options sound great. Good idea to wait and see how you feel. I know! Although, I don't know how much longer I can talk the boys into getting up that early. |

Wow you really were up early! I made it in time for the opening MK show on our last trip (loved it of course) but just in time and that was a nonEMH day!
I'm hoping that by the time our next trip rolls around we'll be at the point where the girls will be able to manage getting up for amEMH...we'll be past Jean's need for 11 hours of sleep a night and Ella will not be quite at the teenaged sleep till noon stage. It may be a small window of opportunity Can't wait to see where your changing plans take you next!

Glad you may have a small window of opportunity. If you can get up in time, morning EMH can definitely pay off. |

292 Ballard to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram 284 BATAVIA, 19 August 1947, 6.15 p.m.
Your telegram 233. [1]
1. Press reports here state that Van Kleffens announced at New York that the Netherlands Government was prepared to propose to the Republic:
(A) Machinery for the designation of an impartial third state which would send some of its nationals to report with the widest publicity on the present situation and whose good offices could be used to bring about an immediate resumption of discussions; and (B) That Batavia Career Consuls be instructed to report jointly on the present situation in Java, Sumatra and Madura.
2. I have not heard that this has yet been put to the Republic or that they have accepted. On past form, their acceptance is unlikely.
3. The above reports are accurate, the note you have received is merely a preliminary step taken in anticipation of Republic consent.
4. Emphasis on the widest publicity and present circumstances suggests that this new Dutch step is designed to divert the attention from issues actually or implicitly before the Security Council to the present situation, no doubt in the hope of a finding that the end has justified the means with the possible result that wo[r]ld opinion would there not be disturbed if they went ahead and finished the job.

TOPEKA, KS – Kansas State Sen. David Haley has introduced a bill that would allow Kansans with debilitating medical conditions to obtain and use marijuana without fear of arrest. Advocates for medical marijuana patients and their families are calling on members of the Public Health and Welfare Committee to act swiftly and hold a hearing on the bill.
S.B. 9 would allow patients with certain qualifying conditions, who have received recommendations from their physicians, to privately possess up to six ounces of marijuana and grow up to 12 marijuana plants in their homes.
It also calls on the Kansas Department of Public Health to regulate and license medical marijuana compassion centers to provide medicine to qualified patients. The department would be able to limit the number of centers in any particular area.
"There is a mountain of evidence demonstrating the efficacy of marijuana in the treatment of a variety of debilitating medical conditions," said Dan Riffle, a legislative analyst at the Marijuana Policy Project, the nation's largest marijuana policy organization. "Seriously ill people who use marijuana to treat their conditions and improve the quality of their lives should not live in fear of being arrested and possibly thrown in jail."
"They should be able to obtain it safely and legally without having to resort to illegal drug dealers in an underground market," Riffle said.
"Kansas is a conservative state, but this is not a conservative or liberal issue," said Sen. Haley. "This is a public safety issue. Many of the opioids and other narcotics these patients take now carry serious side effects and cause thousands of accidental overdose deaths every year. Marijuana, like any medication, is not harmless, but its side effects are milder, and it has never caused a fatal overdose. The bottom line is this is the right thing to do."
Under current law, Kansans who use marijuana to treat their debilitating conditions face up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine for a first-offense possession conviction. Subsequent arrests for possession of any amount are punishable by more than three years in jail and a $100,000 fine. Personal cultivation of a single marijuana plant is a felony in Kansas that carries a penalty of up to 17 years in prison.
This is the third year in a row that a Kansas state legislator has proposed legislation to protect medical marijuana patients. In previous years, supporters have been denied a hearing in the Public Health and Welfare Committee.
"We sincerely hope the Public Health and Welfare Committee will recognize the seriousness of this issue and give these patients the fair hearing they deserve," Riffle said. "The legislature should not be playing politics when the quality of life for seriously ill people and their families is at stake."
Eighteen states and the District of Columbia currently allow qualified patients to use medical marijuana with recommendations from their physicians. At least ten more states are expected to consider similar legislation this year.

text: The Fort William stands solemnly on the Western bank of The Ganga. It stretches from the Western flank of the Red Road. The Battle of Plassey ended in June, 1757. Robert Clive was deeply worried about the British destiny and what lay in store for Calcutta because the erstwhile fragile fort was easily captured by Siraj-ud-daula. Consequently, Clive decided to build a formidable fort to resist enemy onslaughts effectively. On account of their victory in the Battle of Plassey, the British received a whopping 75,00,000 silver coins. After a few days, they received another 4000,000 coins. With this money, started the mammoth task of building the fort. Previously this place was a hamlet named Gobindapur. The local people were evicted from this place after paying a nominal compensation money. The 'Thakur' family had meanwhile abandoned Gobindapur and came to stay at Sutanuti. The construction of the fort was rounded off in 1781. This was renamed Fort William after the erstwhile fort of the same name. The fort was octagonal with three sides facing the river Ganga. Five other sides were towards the Maidan. Ditches surrounded the fort which covered 2½ square miles. They could be filled with river water as and when required. Inside the Fort is the St. Peter's Church which was constructed in 1928. Swimming pool, Boxing stadium, Firing Range and other necessary arrangements are present within the Fort. There is also a provision for ten thousand interns of the Fort. The Fort has huge archways, one of which is known as 'Plassey Gate'. It is said that this is the only Fort in the world from where not a single bullet or cannon-ball has ever been shot.

In the middle of the next block stands the Peppercorn, one of the most sophisticated and exhaustively stocked household stores in the country, crammed with kitchenware, cookbooks, china, glassware and exotic foods -- honey from New Zealand, almond nougat from Italy, Spanish olive oil and Colorado mustards and salsas. In front of the Peppercorn is a garden of gravel and large smooth stones spanned by a wooden bridge that is usually filled with clambering children. At the end of the block, outside what used to be J.B. Winberie's and is now the locally owned Boulder Café, is a corner where, almost every sunny day for over a decade, Lucky Hudson played his sax, filling the air with his smoky notes, sometimes changing a melody to suit the taste of a passerby he recognized. Hudson lived in a Denver senior center and traveled to Boulder by bus. He died in 1997 of stomach cancer; several Boulderites are raising money for a memorial on his corner.
The county courthouse takes up the entire north side of the next block. Its presence is both a curse and a blessing for the mall. Civic buildings tend to be good for downtowns, bringing in clients and workers who eat, shop and run errands in the neighborhood. The courthouse lawn is also used for demonstrations and festivals -- not to mention national media covering Boulder's big stories. But some planners think shoppers are less apt to stroll the courthouse block because it is so different from the other three and contains fewer shops. And to the annoyance of nearby merchants and restaurateurs, the courthouse lawn has been a magnet for transients (see sidebar, page 32). The county commissioners had the space outside the courthouse reconfigured in 1997 to make it less inviting; they object, however, to Communication Arts's plan for further modification of this part of the mall.
"The county is in an odd position," says County Commissioner Paul Danish. "It's a tenant on Pearl Street. It owns the building. The city has, over the years, attempted to design our piece into part of the mall. It's an admirable goal, but it's also important to remember the courthouse belongs to all the people in Boulder County. We have to make some statement that sets us a little apart; we're reluctant to allow the plaza to spill over into our area seamlessly."
Let Us Entertain You
Mall buskers aren't always welcome
The commissioners have decided to move the county clerk's office out of downtown, although other county functions will continue to be based at the courthouse. The clerk's primary function is to sell license plates and register cars, and people drive into town for this purpose, when "parking in Boulder is such sweet sorrow," explains Danish. But the county's move, along with reports that the post office, currently located a couple of blocks off the mall, is looking for new quarters because of parking problems, troubles some city officials, who feel the daily influx of government workers and customers helps keep the downtown healthy.
On the 1400 block of Pearl, the huge Cheesecake Factory has taken over space once occupied by Sawadee, a popular local Thai eatery. The new parking garage that Dick Schwarz says would have saved Stage House Two had it been built earlier has transformed the 1500 block of Pearl. It is far larger than most of the buildings surrounding it.
The east end of Pearl, now rapidly being gentrified, has long been a refuge for hippies, artists and dissidents. Its businesses include a tiny Beat bookshop with a check signed by Jack Kerouac posted in the window; Penny Lane, a coffee-drinking, poetry-reading haven for teens; stores boasting wares that would have been at home in any Sixties head shop; the vegetarian Crystal Market, on the brink of closing and whose customers are trying to resurrect it as a co-op; and Jessica Shah's well-reviewed Indian restaurant, Mijbani.
This year, the city decided to reconstruct the underground utilities in this area and to widen and improve the sidewalks. Disruption was inevitable. It was compounded by the contractor's inefficiency; eventually, he was fired and replaced. Construction of the parking facility added to merchants' woes, removing existing parking and re-routing traffic away from their stores. For long months, East Pearl looked like a moonscape.
"My business dropped by 40 percent this summer," says Craig Moelis, one of the owners of Foolish Craig's. "It was awful. People still aren't coming in as much as they used to."
Foolish Craig's is a small, cozy restaurant, strung with decorative lights and filled with orange, red and green wooden tables. The employees pick the music the customers hear -- Moelis is partial to jazz -- and the food is homey and good: salads, crepes, soups, and sandwiches made with delicious, thick-sliced, home-baked bread. It was the bread that gave the restaurant its name.
"For rye bread, you make a poolish -- like you make a starter for sourdough," Moelis explains. "I'd be in doing that, and my partners would be chanting, 'Craig's making poolish. That's pretty foolish.'"
Moelis, a onetime philosophy student at the University of Colorado, was working at Moe's Bagels when he decided to start his own restaurant. He wanted something casual, he says, "nothing too fancy, but inviting and warm."

Patch 4.3: Tier 13 set bonuses revealed {WoW}
Sep 25th 2011 2:18AM Yea I agree. The same could be said about the 4p for Affliction though with their ability to refresh soul shards with SoC. Still it is nice to see that Blizzard is listening to all those people who posted on the warlock class discussion thread recently who said that the CD on the Doomguard/Infernal was way too long in the first place. But, as it stands right now, my doomguard easily does over 1 mil damage with the right CDs up as Demo. Having him up longer AND with a shorter CD is far too OP for something like this to stand without some other kind of nerf to the move in the future.
The Queue: Artemis {WoW}
Jul 23rd 2011 3:43PM Here's a technical question that I'm not sure you'll be able to answer but I'll ask anyway:
I get most of my wowinsider reading down on the go via my iphone's safari web browser. However over the last week or so, it seems like the moblie version of wowinsider has been about a day behind the content that is available on my desktop at home. I just wanted to know if this is a problem that can be fixed or is there some issue with my phone that is preventing me from viewing up-to-date articles.
Totem Talk: State of the enhance shaman address, page 2 {WoW}
Jun 4th 2011 6:41PM I don't believe Blizzard has figured out how to make the transition from 'support' class to a class that actually can compete on the meters. Cataclysm has been real hard to deal with so far in the fact that we don't bring unique buffs to the raid anymore and we can't use them to explain our way into raids anymore. We've seen Blizzard try, and fail, at buffing our AoE DPS and our single target DPS is about middle of the pack, putting us toward the bottom of the charts on most fights. But overall, and this is the biggest issue in my book, I've found myself having more fun with my alts than I have with my shaman. That's never happened to me before and I don't see much hope in the current patch notes for 4.2. And yes our dps will be going up in the next patch just because pretty much everyone else, even those specs that need nerfs, are getting nerfed to some degree. But they did something like that back in Wrath and it failed miserably. So I'm currently getting my hunter ready for the Firelands release here soon because I'm sure that, even though they've been hit with the nerf bat as well, that I won't feel so hopeless about my class like I do right now.
Totem Talk: Restoration shaman, say hello to Spirit Link Totem {WoW}

Totem Talk: Restoration, Telluric Currents and Focused Insight {WoW}
Mar 1st 2011 7:03PM I'm a healer for a 4/13 HM guild and I've been using TC since our first normal mode kill. I tried the 7/2/32 spec for awhile but, even with the added chance to miss, the 3/7/31 TC spec has worked wonders for me. It has allowed me to focus less on spirit gear and more on my own throughput for raids. Even with the added chance to miss, I dont feel like TC has hurt me at all and there are plenty of times where I can squeeze in a LB cast or two. Simply put it's worked wonders for me and I can't imagine raiding without it. Still I understand why people are hesitant to use it. I'd recommend just giving it a shot one night to see for yourself.
Breakfast Topic: Just how lucky are you? {WoW}
Jan 8th 2011 2:55PM I don't see very many vanity mounts or pets but, when I do, they usually come very quickly back-to-back. I had been farming the MgT mount for about 3 months and had raided kara every week in BC and had never seen either of those places mounts drop once. Then I ended up getting the rare pet from Zangermarsh drop for me one day and it opened up the flood gates. The MgT mount dropped the same day while the Fiery Warhorse dropped not even 3 days later, along with the Disgusting oozeling that happened to drop while I was questing in old EPL on an alt. However I seem to have used up all my luck as I never saw either ZG mount, still have yet to see the Baron mount after at least 150 runs so far, and Anzu has eluded my grasp till this day. So I think I might have used up all my luck with those other two mounts drops on that one week lol.

Offspec gear and Cataclysm raiding {WoW}
May 9th 2010 5:41PM I must say that this will be a huge issue for me, playing a Jack-of-all-Specs shaman in our raids. I'm MS ele but I'm constantly being asked to either heal if we are short on healers or go enh if we are ranged heavy that night. With all the various pieces that going to be up for bid amongst everyone, and seeing as how 10 and 25 are being mashed together, play styles like this will take alot longer to achieve. While it does help that Ele and Resto gear are going to be the same thing, this issue is a bit more evident for people who are in my positions but play a Paladin or maybe a Druid. Things are changing and having the luxary of a hybrid class being able to do anything will take far longer to achieve in the upcoming xpac.

You already know how fear can paralyze you personally and professionally, rob you of your joy, and keep you from going after your dreams. But did you know it can also make you sick? Whenever your mind feels fear, it triggers the "fight-or-flight" stress response in your body, which disables your body's natural self-repair mechanisms and makes you more susceptible to illness. But never fear (no pun intended). Here are a few tips for living a healthier, happier life by overcoming fear.
- Understand that fear is primal. It originates from the lizard brain of your amygdala and exists as an adaptive mechanism meant to save your life. But in modern society, fear is a warning signal gone haywire. Most of what you fear – losing a loved one, money, or a relationship, for example – isn't actually threatening your life, though it may be threatening your sense of security. You may not be able to ditch the emotion of fear, but you can make the choice not to let it run the show anymore.
- Assess your fears to determine whether they're helpful or harmful. If you're afraid of crashing on the rocks when you consider jumping off a cliff, your fear is probably valid. But if you're afraid to write the book you dream of writing because you're afraid of failure, fear is only getting the way. Sometimes fear shows up as a valuable intuition, but often, it's just an agent of self-sabotage. Learning to tell the difference can make all the difference.
- Recognize that fear often masquerades as protection. Consider how many times you make decisions because of the "just in case." Remember that "just in case" is fear masquerading as self-preservation. But it's still fear, and it's still harmful to your health. Read More→

OMB releases updated sequestration report; estimates 5.0% decrease in global health funding
The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released the "OMB Report To The Congress On The Joint Committee Sequestration For Fiscal Year 2013" (.pdf) detailing the budgetary impacts of sequestration as mandated in the "Budget Control Act of 2011" (P.L. 112-25). According to the report, estimated reductions are based on funding levels provided in the "Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013" (CR) (P.L. 112-175), which authorized appropriations for FY 2013 through March 27, 2013 at a rate that is 0.612% more than the FY 2012 enacted levels. OMB estimates that global health funding through USAID and State Department, which comprises the majority of U.S. global health funding, would decrease by $411 million, or 5.0%, from the $8,218 million authorized in the FY 2013 CR.

Music exec slams Grammys; Rihanna, Drake and Kanye do NBA All-Star halftime; "Glee" coming to Verizon Center
- "The Grammy Awards have clearly lost touch with contemporary popular culture." That's according to Steve Stoute a longtime music executive and current CEO of the marketing company Translation, who took out a full page ad in the New York Times bashing the Grammys for not giving Eminem, Kanye West and Justin Bieber enough awards.
- Sunday's NBA All-Star game featured a halftime performance by Rihanna, who was joined by Drake for "What's My Name?" and Kanye West for "All of the Lights." The official video for that song was released over the weekend.
- The cast of "Glee" will hit the Verizon Center as part of its summer tour on June 9. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 4 at 10 a.m.

I Don't Want to Stop, Black Rain, Lay Your World on Me, The Almighty Dollar, 11 Silver, Countdowns Begun, Trap Door
I didn't go to Ozzfest 2008, I did not like the bands too much
I like all of his albums
I live in a small town in a mountain meadow above a small city - Ozzy likely wouldn't come to where I live. But recently when he was supposed to play on Kimmel live in concert, I was willing to drive 800+ miles to see him. Meeting him is a freaking dream!
I can't seem to see you baby ... although my eyes are open wide ... but I know I'll see you once more ... when I see you, I'll see you on the other side

Many college women say their experiences after being sexually assaulted -- often in date rape situations -- illustrate a culture of indifference and denial that results in one in five young women being assaulted during their college years. Unclear and conflicted internal disciplinary systems can compound their suffering, according to this series by InvestigateWest journalists Carol Smith and Lee van der Voo and edited by Rita Hibbard.

Athletic club weekend weekend turns into nightmare for college freshman
But her ordeal brings change to state system
Emily Lorenzen turned to college administrators for help after she was hazed into drinking too much alcohol and woke up naked in bed next to a persistent upperclassman whose advances she had spurned. She found a lack of concern and a desire to protect the university, and says the college investigation and disciplinary process victimized her again. But the experience spurred her father, then head of the board of higher education in the state of Oregon, to begin making changes in that state that could have long-ranging impact for young victims like Emily in the future.
Colleges 'in denial' about campus sexual assault problem, advocates say
Reporting system fragmented and unclear
One reason the frequency of sexual assault on campuses continues to be high is that schools are in denial about the scope of the problem, say advocates and victims. In addition, universities have fragmented reporting channels, and women report assaults in various ways – they may call the police, tell a friend or faculty member, go to the hospital or seek counseling at the sexual assault center.
Overwhelmed and unsure, victims often delay seeking help
Discipline meted out to accused often light or nonexistent
The story of a frustrating search for justice through an unclear and conflicted college disciplinary system is compellingly told through the experiences of two women who reported being raped on campus. Both women say the schools' handling of their cases compounded their trauma, and both point to insensitive handling that ranged from inappropriate questioning to being required to go through mediation sitting near the man they had accused. Discipline for the alleged perpetrators was light or nonexistent, and left both angered that students who suffer sexual assaults by other students are often left to bear the emotional, physical and financial consequences, while those they hold responsible for their anguish walk away.
A dangerous mix: drinking, sex and college students
62 percent of sexual assaults are 'drug-facilitated'
A majority of sexual assaults involving college students also involve drugs or alcohol. Advocates say this is one reason the prevalence rate of assaults continues to be high, and also partly why so few are ever successfully prosecuted.
Barriers to reporting sexual assault in same gender cases even higher
Sexual assault crosses all barriers, gender included, and same-gender assaults are not uncommon on college campuses, experts say, but the obstacles to reporting are even greater.

About the project
What happened to one young woman who reported being sexually assaulted on a college athletic club trip and another who reported being raped by a college athlete she casually dated is not unique -- their lives fell apart, and the men they accused suffered little or no consequences, InvestigateWest journalists reveal in this series. We show the high prevalence of drugs and alcohol in sexual assaults, the lack of training provided to students to recognize and deal with date-rape and non-consensual sexual situations, and the murky and sometimes conflicting disciplinary processes in place.
The series is launched in concert with Seattlepi.com, KUOW-FM,the Spokane Spokesman-Review and The Oregonian. This work was done in partnership with the Center for Public Integrity in a project that includes NPR and regional campus assault stories from four other members of the Investigative News Network - the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism, the New England Center for Investigative Reporting, Texas Watchdog, and the Rocky Mountain News Network.
These stories illustrate the power of working together. Many of the young women whose stories are told here initially thought they stood alone; when their voices are joined as they are in a project of this magnitude, the scope of the problem begins to be visible. Read this groundbreaking work here, and remember that without your support for independent investigative reporting, this kind of work cannot be done.

Equal Justice | December 2014
Grand jury reform propelled by Ferguson
With grand jury reform elsewhere focused on eliminating racial bias and curbing police use of force, Oregon is an outlier: It is one of just 14 states that do not regularly record the citizen grand juries that charge people with felonies.
Almost five years after police killed an unarmed black man in Portland and the Multnomah Co. district attorney petitioned for that grand jury to be recorded, lawmakers in Salem are lining up behind a reform bill to mandate recording statewide, InvestigateWest has learned.

Food fight pits iconic halibut against exports, fast food
A struggle in Alaska over shrinking supplies of halibut is threatening the iconic centerpiece fish in favor of cheaper exports, fast-food fillets and fish sticks.
At risk is most of the frozen supply that sustains restaurants, food-service companies and retail stores nationwide, such as Costco and Whole Foods. Lee van der Voo investigates.

Minimum Wage | August 2014
Washington struggles to help workers collect millions in stolen wages
"Everyone is aware that passing a $15 an hour minimum wage was historic," an advisor to Mayor Ed Murray and the Seattle City Council told InvestigateWest. "But if we cannot enforce that, we haven't accomplished much."
Based on a review of more than 20,000 wage theft complaints, hundreds of pages of reports and more than a dozen interviews, "Stolen Wages" shines a light on the dark world of pay violations in Seattle and across Washington.

Exhaust Fouls Public Schools in Washington
Of the roughly 50,000 kids who will attend Seattle schools this fall, nearly 2,000 will hit the books in classrooms within 500 feet of Interstate 5, InvestigateWest has found.

From Seattle to Spokane, what can be done to make sure schools are healthy places for kids?

text: RESTON, Va.-(Business Wire)-March 8, 2007 - Proxicom, an interactive agency that helps customers make the best use of the Web, has completed development of the mobile Web site for Mazda North America Operations (MNAO) (www.mazdausa.com), which launched earlier this month. From one Web address, viewers can access content from the auto manufacturer regardless of device, screen resolution, or size, and without the need for a mobile-specific browser. An abridged version of the main Web site, the mobile site offers a zip-code based dealer locator, and features and specifications of various Mazda vehicles. Future capabilities will be directions to a dealer, inventory search, a vehicle configurator, and the ability to request a brochure. Proxicom built the site as an extension of Mazda's brand-building effort directed toward customers and prospects with certain demographic characteristics. Mazda attracts one of the youngest groups of buyers in the industry, with a median age of 43.1 versus the industry average of 49.6, according to the J.D. Power 2006 Autoshopper.com study. Because younger buyers are more inclined to use mobile technology and receive marketing messages via cell phones or personal digital assistants (PDAs), according to the Mobile Marketing Association, MNAO expects this program will continue to gain in popularity as younger consumers reach the point of making car-buying decisions. "Younger consumers in particular are increasingly using their mobile devices for information as much as for communication," says Amy Simpson, VP, Automotive with Proxicom. "This new site enables Mazda to provide tailored content in an appropriate way, and encourage interactivity for future sales." Adds Rudy Privitelli, Group Manager of Relationship Marketing at MNAO, "Because our brand is based on attributes such as distinctive design, high functionality, quality, and being fun to drive, the new mobile Web site is a perfect representation for how we connect with our audience. We place a high value on giving these hard-to-reach consumers what they want in a personalized fashion." Proxicom achieved interoperability between the site and various mobile devices with software that detects the device's browser. It then searches for the device's specifications in a wireless universal resource file maintained by wireless carriers, and reconfigures the content accordingly. For faster performance, Proxicom designed the pages for several of the most popular devices used by consumers, and with clear and limited links. About Proxicom Proxicom, Inc. (www.proxicom.com), an internationally recognized interactive agency, delivers custom-tailored interactive solutions to Global 1000 organizations. Through the experience and ongoing passion of its talented professionals, Proxicom provides creative, technical, analytical and marketing solutions that transform the way business is done across a number of select industries including: Automotive, Healthcare, Financial Services and Consumer Packaged Goods. Founded in 1991 as a systems integrator, Proxicom, an affiliate of The Gores Group, LLC (www.gores.com), has developed interactive solutions for such blue-chip companies as Chevron, DuPont, Mazda North American Operations, GMAC and Toyota Motor Sales, among many others. Headquartered in Reston, VA, Proxicom also has offices in New York, NY; Detroit, MI; Los Angeles, Irvine and San Francisco, CA.

Chadron Community Hospital serves Dawes, Sheridan, and Sioux counties in northwest Nebraska; Fall River, Shannon and Bennett counties in southwestern South Dakota; and the 2,500 students enrolled at Chadron State College. Built in 1929, with additions in 1963, 1965, 1967, 1977, and 1987, the existing building of 48,000 square feet was landlocked with no options for expansion. Rooms in the hospital were too small for today's equipment and there were multiple patients in one room making it difficult to meet Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) confidentiality requirements. Specialty clinics were required to share space that was also used for emergency treatments, making it hard to attract visiting physicians. The hospital had outgrown its existing facility. Current building codes and regulations for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility and the Nebraska Department of Health standards also influenced the decision to build a new facility at an easily accessible location.
The total project cost was nearly $21 million. Rural Development provided a $8.9 million loan note guarantee to First National Bank of Omaha and a $8.9 million USDA Rural Development Direct loan. The Chadron citizens showed their support for a replacement hospital with 86 percent of the voters passing a tax revenue proposal. The funding was completed with a donation from the Chicoine Trust and the hospital's contribution.
The 25 bed replacement Critical Access Hospital was built on a sloped site which allows for two levels, each with ADA accessible on-grade entrances. The 94,000 square foot hospital has all private rooms and an expanded outpatient area designed to meet current healthcare trends. Specialty clinics, which include Orthopedics, Plastic Surgery, Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Urology, Nuclear Medicine, Ears, Nose and Throat, Nephrology, Audiology, Neurosurgery, Neurology, and Obstetrics-Gynocology, have their own space in the facility. The Family Practice Physician Clinic, which is home to six Family Practice Physicians, four Physician Assistants and 20 support staff, was relocated to the facility as well. The new Physicians' Clinic meets all patient privacy and accessibility requirements.
"The new facility is out performing all of our expectations. With the addition of the Chadron Medical Clinic into the space of the acute care facility we have seen drastic reductions in the amount of time our emergency room patients are waiting for physician services. Having all private rooms is also a major benefit for our patients, no room mates and plenty of space for our professional staff to do their jobs, and large spacious rooms for our patients' family and loved ones when visiting. Our biggest shock was the large increase in the number of babies delivered in the first week of operations; the moms, dads and newborns enjoyed the new birthing rooms. We look forward to serving our large family of friends and patients for many years into the future." stated Harold Krueger, CEO, Chadron Community Hospital.
In addition to the Physicians' Clinic, Chadron Community Hospital employs 187 professional and support staff. With expanded services after the construction, the hospital added 18 additional support positions. The construction, which took just over two years, employed more than 50 construction workers. The hospital is an asset to the community and adjoining states, in providing quality medical services for all.
