Evan Weiner: Ranchers, Cattle and Sports
Posted with the express consent of Evan Weiner:
Ranchers, cattle and sports
By Evan Weiner
September 25, 2012
Jimmy Devellano has worked in the National Hockey League in various capacities for 45 years so presumably he can speak with authority on most subjects National Hockey league and by extension sports. Devellano got into hot water when discussing the present National Hockey League owners' lockout of the players when he uttered what is an unspoken truth.
Devellano acknowledged publicly what anyone connected in sports knows, players are just meat on the hoof and disposable at any time.
"It's very complicated and way too much for the average Joe to understand, but having said that, I will tell you this: The owners can basically be viewed as the Ranch, and the players, and me included, are the cattle. The owners own the Ranch and allow the players to eat there. That's the way its always been and that's the way it will be forever. And the owners simply aren't going to let a union push them around. It's not going to happen."
Devellano happened to just tell that to Scott Harrigan of Island Sports News in Victoria, British Columbia. For his "misdeed" of talking during an owner's pledge of solidarity and "breaking" a code of silence, Devellano and his employer, Michael Ilitch's Detroit Red Wings are supposed to pay some sort of penitence in terms of some monetary figure.
The cattle reference may have been uttered by Texas E. Schramm, the president of the Dallas Cowboys and architect of the NFL's 1987 scab, rather replacement players', solution to the NFL labor problems. Schramm allegedly called players cattle during the 1982 NFL players' association strike.
Football players have understood they are cattle and take whatever abuse comes there way. In 1987, New York Giants defensive tackle Jim Burt walked into the New Jersey Meadowlands when word came down that the National Football League Players Association had folded when the group's strike against the owners for better wages (and it was always better wages for the NFLPA not retirement and health benefits for retirees) ended because too many players crossed the picket lines including Lawrence Taylor and Joe Montana with a smile on his face.
Burt was happy he was going back to work but he also said something rather remarkable. He acknowledged the players had lost but said that was okay because "football players are used to being beaten over the head." That too was an unspoken truth that accidentally came out but was played down by a grateful media who could look forward to watching games again without being interrupted by a labor action.
Sports is just a business.
While the National Hockey League has shut down the 30 factories around North America, one factory owner is unhappy with his building and wants a new plant for his business. So Darryl Katz ventured from his home base in Edmonton and flew across the 49th parallel to check out the Seattle market after that burg's city council approved partial funding of a new arena in town.
Katz wants Edmonton to basically subsidize his hockey business, a practice that was never much of a Canadian ritual unlike cities south of the 49th parallel in the United States. If Katz shows that Seattle or other cities want his business, he can use that as leverage in his talks to get the entire subsidy he wants from Edmonton or Alberta elected officials. Katz has a business, the NHL franchise known as the Oilers that has many consumers and is beloved by sports fans. He knows that by going to Seattle that will raise hackles in Edmonton among political types who are in office or want to be in office and will set off a frenzy because a certain segment of voters will be upset to lose their entertainment or in some cases a love of life—Katz's Oilers.
Sports in many ways has become a religious experience for some people. The National Football League has somehow captured the attention of people in the late summer, all fall and into the winter who view either a stadium or a big screen television as a 21st century cathedral. The games are at the center of a Sunday life with television pre-game shows starting at 11 in the morning in the eastern United States, 10 in the central time zone, 9 in the mountain time zone and 8 in the Pacific time zone. The experience lasts about 13 hours with a small break between what is called the late afternoon game and the Sunday Night game.
There is communal bonding, drinking of an equivalent of wine and much discussion about the events.
There are also special cathedral days on Monday and Thursday when services or games are held. There is much talk during the week about what was important from the Sunday, Monday or Thursday offerings. When college and high school football seasons are done, there is an additional Saturday offering as well.
But while all of this is going on, the money changers are on the lookout for new cathedrals. Phil Anschutz's AEG has proposed Los Angeles meat on the hoof factory may get green lighted soon by local politicians. Ed Roski is still looking for an NFL partner in the City of Industry. San Diego and Oakland are no closer to new facilities; the Spanos family's Chargers have been waiting for San Diego to bestow a new facility for them since 2000.
The National Hockey League lockout is all about money. As the late George Young used to say when he was the general manager of the New York Giants (he built the 1986 and 1990 Super Bowl inning squads). "You show me a player who says they would play for nothing; I will show you a liar." The National Football League lockout of officials is all about money also.
The owners don't feel the officials should get a pension or raises any more.
Sports is a business to the owners and players and other employees and just fluff entertainment to fans. There are never any questions raised by games being a bona fide competition. The Washington Nationals shut down one of their better pitchers Stephen Strasburg because the team felt that if he pitched too much that would ruin his arm in future seasons. Yet the team and Major League Baseball is not discounting any ticket prices for Nationals games in the playoffs even though the team does not have a full roster of talented players who give them the best chance to win with a shut down Strasburg.
Devellano said what people in the sports industry know. It will be forgotten eventually when the players return to the ice. But Katz will go on his unique Oilers power play, the Glendale, Arizona situation will go on, Quebec City and Hamilton and some other area in the Toronto metropolitan area will bid for an NHL team, Calgary Flames ownership will push for a new building if Katz gets one in Edmonton with similar terms of subsidies.
Cities will compete for teams despite dire consequences for municipal bottom lines as evidenced with stadium/arena fiscal fiascos in Hamilton County (Cincinnati), Ohio, Harrison, New Jersey, Chester, Pennsylvania, Stockton, California and other places.
That's the price of being a big league city or even a minor league city. But there is no sacred about sports, about games, about uniforms. Unfortunately the diehards who love sports don't understand that. To them it's more than a game but for the "ranchers", it is just business, nothing personal.

a cross-linked styrene acrylic water-based polymer
Patent Pending and Proprietary Technology
Environmentally Friendly
Stabilized Soil Roads, Blocks, Bricks & Pavers |
"My Country was never so rich that it could afford poor roads"
William the Conqueror
Doomsday Survey
Affordable roads with Aggrebind©
- … sealed, water resistant, stabilized, on-site soil
- for rural roads, or with an asphalt wear surface for primary roads and, if desired, a concrete topping for specialty applications, i.e. airports/arterial roads
2009 Ukraine Aggrebind© base with concrete top construction for factory road in Odessa

Loose Gravel is Dangerous!
Dirt and gravel roads often develop corrugations, a wash-board effect, that makes driving conditions hazardous and can cause serious damage to vehicles and products.
Environmentally damaging, dangerous dust
Dirt and gravel roads cause high levels of dust that is a constant hazard. Dust is dangerous to motorists, pedestrians, the general health of local inhabitants and dust significantly reduces crop output.
The Aggrebind© (AGB)solution
- 1. Construct traditional asphalt/concrete surfaces
- 2. AGB stabilized soil base with asphalt wear surface
- 3. Construct AGB stabilized soil with stone chippings embedded
- 4. Construct AGB stabilized soil
- 5. Construct AGB stabilized road base and surface seal with AGB polymer.
- AGB does not use cement or concrete.
Too expensive and not environmentally friendly
Less expensive than (1), same durability and result
Less expensive and faster than (1) and (2), with greater surface wearability.
Higher wear than (3) with permanent road base, typically 50% cheaper
Less expensive, faster and easier to install providing a durable water resistant surface that only requires resealing when visual wear appears.
The Aggrebind© alternative
Note: This is a general guideline only and each project should be engineered /evaluated.
Visual Guide to Road Compressive Strength
150MM stabilized COMPACTED LAYER
Supports vehicles up to 40 tons
50MM stabilzed COMPACTED LAYER
Ideal for pathways and sidewalks
250MM stabilized LAYER COMPACTED LAYER
Specialty application – vehicles up to 100 tons
The maximum load is spread over a greater area when the layer depth is increased
Existing road softens and erodes when wet and is prone to potholing resulting in dangerous driving conditions. This type of road is never safe and requires constant maintenance.
Existing Rutted Soil Road
Lleida, Spain
Existing surface is ripped to the required depth (100mm, 150mm, 250mm depending on ton load required) with care being taken not to dig too deep as this could result in an uneven layer strength after stabilising.
An alternative option is to use a meri-crusher that breaks up soil and rocks up to a depth of 300mm in a single pass.
Ripping/Breaking up Surface |
Lleida, Spain
Excellent and readily available, an Offset Disc Harrow used to break down the soil to produce a well grade mix.
Breaking down Soil to Colloid Particles |
Lleida, Spain
4000 litre constant pressure bowser dispersing water/polymer solution. Speed of vehicle regulated to disperse mixture evenly across the width of the road. It is important to calculate the area that each bowser load will treat as this will enable the mixing process to be implemented immediately. It also ensures that the surface will not dry out too fast between the mixing and compaction phases.
Spraying Aggrebind©:H2O solution
Lleida, Spain
Or, disperse Aggrebind©:H2O solution manually
Mixing in Polymer Solution to Soil
Offset Disc Harrow or alternatively Power Harrow, should be used immediately to mix the polymer/water thoroughly into the treated soil. A road grader can also be used for this process.
Lleida, Spain
Grading/Profiling Road
A road grader is used prior to, and during, the compaction process to create the correct road profile.
This is vital to prevent rainwater from constantly lying on the finished road surface as this is the main cause of potholes.
Lleida, Spain
Vibro Compaction of Road
Vibration Compaction single drum smooth roller with rubber tractor tires which has to be driven backwards to remove tire indentations on the finished road surface.
A smooth drum dual tandem vibro roller is preferred.
Lleida, Spain
Final Surface Sealing with Aggrebind©:H2O
Surface sealed with a single pass of the bowser. It is important that vehicles do not drive on the surface during the sealing process. The surface is rolled again, with NO vibration, when the surface is sufficiently dry that it does not stick to the roller drum
Use bowser or apply manually
Lleida, Spain
Surface Spraying Sparge Pipe & Paddle Nozzle
Less solution volume velocity as lower to ground which is good for sloping roads, but may require two passes
Completed Sealed & Water Resistant Road

Alternate method for drainage ditches
Road bed
Solid steel bars are laid into the shoulder of the road
Bars are compacted to level with the road.
The indentation of the compacted bars creates a drainage ditch when removed.
Use long bars for straight sections and shorter bars for making curves.
Seal the road surface and drainage ditch with Aggrebind©:H2O solution.
Some installations & trials of roads & blocks
"I am not aware of another water based polymer that has the ability to seal cementitious and natural stone surfaces AND provide flexibility to mortars, grouts and underlayments, while ALSO having the ability to bond granular materials into hardened, modular building units."

Every week, there are great new mobile apps being released on the market, and we here at IAAP are always on the lookout for cool and useful tools that will make your life a little easier. Few things have been more impacted by mobile tech as business travel. Whether you're changing flights, booking a rental car, finding a replacement laptop battery, getting a cab at 3:00 am or retrieving key documents at the last minute, having a smartphone or tablet provides a lot of convenience.
Tell a room full of meeting planners that they can replace their heavy three-ring binder of banquet event orders with an iPad, or Android and you'll have their attention and instant devotion. That's because the back-breaking binder, which is any event's bible, is widely regarded as a necessary (and not so eco-friendly) evil.
Travel planning – whether it's for yourself or your executive – can be a harried experience if you're not a seasoned pro. There are so many decisions to make. Where to stay? How to get there? Where to eat? What to bring? When to go? The wrong choice could leave you or, worse yet, your boss sleeping in a bedbug-infested motel or stranded in an airport in some far-off land. Fortunately, there are tons of travel apps out there that can make the process a little more manageable and a lot less stressful.
The team here at IAAP is ever vigilant for tools and techniques that can make life at work and home at least a little easier for administrative professionals. Cloud technology is amazing because it allows bright people to relatively quickly develop new applications and get them into the market. This is also a curse because it means there are literally thousands of apps being hawked at any given time, plus loads of new programs arriving every day.
In case you hadn't noticed, mobile technology is in the office and it's here to stay. About 60 percent of the world's administrative professionals say they don't need to be in the office to be productive, according to a survey by social contact manager Gist. A third of all administrative professionals use more than one mobile device to do their jobs, and about the same portion say they're at their most productive when they're using mobile tools to work from home.

How Does Global Warming Affect Birds, Other Wildlife, and Their Habitats?
All organisms depend on their habitats for food, water, shelter, and opportunities to breed and raise young. Climate changes can affect organisms and their habitats in a myriad of ways. In fact, global warming impacts all life on earth, from individual organisms to populations, species, communities, and ecosystems. It can alter behaviors, population sizes, species distributions, plant and animal communities, and ecosystem functions and stability. How strongly different species will be affected varies, depending on differences in their ecology and life history. Species with small population sizes, restricted ranges, and limited ability to move to different habitat will be most at risk. Similarly, different habitats and ecosystems will be impacted differently, with those in coastal, high-latitude, and high-altitude regions most vulnerable.
When it comes to global warming, birds are like canaries in the coal mine, showing us that temperature increases are reshaping our ecology in potentially dangerous ways. According to a 2009 Audubon report, nearly 60% of 305 species found in North America in winter have been on the move over the last 40 years, shifting their ranges northward by an average of 35 miles, and in some cases by hundreds of miles.

My friend Martha had a tummy tuck by Dr mamoun and her results were stunning and perfect. She lost 4 sizes in one week with perfect tight skin and wonderful curves. The scar of her surgery is barely visible. I visited him for my breasts which almost melted away and became droopy after my last pregnancy. Ohhhhh Dr Mamoun is a wonderful and experienced doctor with golden hands. My breasts now look better than they did when I was a teenager ! . I am so happy and satisfied. My husband seems to love me more now and he can't keep his hands off me. I feel like im newly in love. I cant describe the boost in self esteem and confidence this doctor gave me. I am so fortunate to have met such an experienced and professional physician and yes let me add an ARTIST. He made me comfortable all the time and explained every thing in detail. His prices were very reasonable. I am really happy.I recommend him to all. Class A+++ physician

Met him at the emergency room at Morristown Memorial in NJ when my 10 year old son had a sports injury and split his chin open to the bone. He came in and washed down the whole room at the E.R. HIMSELF, and was WONDERFUL with my son who was frightened. I have since used him for botox and restylane. Meticulous. Only problem .. price quoted did NOT include the cost of the Botox and Restylane. Make sure you ask for the COMPLETE cost.

How to argue productively 22/01/2015
The ability to argue well is a life skill. Get it right and it can be an art form, but get it wrong and you risk humiliation. Red-faced rages, shouting and tears are not respected in the office and undermine one's sense of professionalism and self-worth.
According to a recent article, here are ten tips on how to argue with finesse and ensure you get your point across succinctly:
Be strategic and do your homework
"Before starting an argument think carefully about what it is you are arguing about and what it is you want," says Jonathan Herring, lawyer and author of How To Argue. This may sound obvious. But it is critically important.
Listen up
Start by listening to what the other person has to say and make sure you acknowledge their point of view.
Be open-minded, or at least appear that way
"Becoming defensive is one of the worst ways to win an argument," says psychology professor Susan Krauss Whitbourne. "If you appear to be giving the other side's position a thoughtful review, then the solution you propose will seem more sensible. Furthermore, your opponent may come to your side without your having to do anything other than listen. By letting your opponent speak, you may allow the situation to naturally resolve itself."
Trust the other person's intent
Even if the person disagrees with you or you feel angry because they hurt your feelings, assume they did not intend to hurt you or make a mistake.
Get comfortable with awkward silences
Stephen Key, author of the One Simple Idea series says: "after I explicitly state what it is I want, I clam up. When we're uncomfortable with an awkward silence, it's tempting to fill it quickly, but if you do, you might end up saying something without thinking it through. Make your point, be confident and force yourself to wait for a response."
Don't get emotional - take your time
Exploders might win arguments by sheer brute force but that doesn't last. Only logic lasts, and to be logical you need to be in control of your emotions.
Disagree clearly, using specific examples
Make your position known as soon as you reasonably can. Be simple, to the point, and specific about your concerns.
Attack the problem, not the person
Your points will be heard more clearly if you can depersonalise your comments and point only at the issue.
Bombard your opponent with questions
If you can ask the right questions you can stay in control of the discussion and make your opponent scramble for answers. A useful type of question is one that calmly provokes your opponent, 'what is about this that makes you so angry?'
Use body language to disarm your opponent
"Mirror your adversary," advises US-based communications expert Nick Morgan. Mirroring builds agreement; you can often head off potential trouble by establishing a strong basis of nonverbal agreement before the hard negotiating begins.
Try to adopt a similar seated or standing position to your party. This sends an unconscious message to the person that you are on an equal level and generally in agreement with them. They will then begin to trust you.
Fear for a dystopian future as computers show power to psychoanalyse 14/01/2015
A study of more than 86,000 Facebook users has shown the ability of
intelligent machines to predict an individual's character based on what they
have 'liked'. David Stillwell of Cambridge, who developed the personality test,
says: 'we found that the computer can predict personality as accurately as the
person's spouse, better than a close friend or family member and a whole lot
better than a work colleague'.
volunteers on Facebook completed a 100 item personality questionnaire and
allowed their likes to be accessed for the Cambridge study. Machine-learning
software analysed the 'likes' based on the five main traits usually used in
psychological assessments: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness,
and neuroticism. The more 'likes' the computer could include in its assessment,
the more accurate it became in forming a prediction of a person's overall
character and personality.
Wu Youyou, the lead author of the study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences, notes: 'in the future, computers could be able to infer our
psychological traits and react accordingly, leading to the emergence of
emotionally-intelligent and socially-skilled machines. People may choose to
augment their own intuitions and judgements with this kind of data analysis
when making important life decisions such as choosing activities, career paths
or even romantic partners'.
However, this could raise ethical questions about how and when it would
be applied. Stillwell says: 'the results of such data analysis can be very
useful in aiding people when making decisions but people need to be aware of
it, and companies need to tell us when they are using it'.
Researchers also share the concerns of those fearing a dystopian future,
where our traits and habits become an 'open book' for computers to read. Dr
Michal Kosinski, another member of the team, says: 'we hope that consumers,
technology developers, and policymakers will tackle those challenges by
supporting privacy-protecting laws and technologies, and giving the users full
control over their digital footprints.'
The paradigm shift of influencer marketing 07/01/2015
The new wave of online gurus and social media influencers are helping marketers gain 'word of mouth at scale'. Many now have more followers than the circulation of papers and magazines. A recent article in the FT shows how this trend represents a paradigm shift in how marketers reach consumers today.
Although influencer marketing has not yet become its own category,
Forrester Research estimates the US social media marketing spend will be over
double in the next few years: from $8.2bn last year to $18.7bn in 2019.
Marco Hansell, chief executive of Speakr, an agency that connects social
influencers with brands, says companies want to 'piggyback' on the
relationships such influencers build with their followers. 'A movie studio
doesn't have a personality, per se. I don't have a relationship with Universal
Studios. But I do with this guy on YouTube and when he lends his name to
something, or says this is awesome, or creates content around it, I have a
whole different level of interaction.'
Part of the authenticity is
that brands allow influencers to create their own content, instead of handing
them an advertisement to broadcast to their followers. This helps marketers reduce
their budgets with the huge number of campaigns they are expected to run on
social media.
The two biggest challenges are gauging influencers' impact and deciding
what they disclose about what a brand is paying for the promotion.
Eric Dahan from Instabrand works with influencers. He says it is a 'new
frontier in traditional ad buying and selling', where metrics such as
impressions, clicks and key performance indicators that brands are used to
buying against do not work on Vine, Snapchat
and Instagram.
These social media platforms, unlike Facebook and Twitter, are in the early
stages of working out their paid advertising model. They do not provide
detailed data on who sees each image, so marketers have to rely on how many
followers an account has.
Laundry Service, an American social media marketing agency, has created
Cycle: a business managing more than 1,000 top Instagram photographers with large
followings. Cycle's photographers are paid to share photos with their
followers, as well as to create photos for brands that are used across other
social networks. They must disclose any sponsored campaign they work on. Jason
Stein, Laundry Service president, says brands that use Instagram photos in
their email and Facebook campaigns see higher click through rates, engagement
rates and conversions. Cycle now accounts for 15 per cent of Laundry Service's
Another issue is when influencers include brands in their posts without stating
they have been paid to promote them. Recently, the advertising watchdog criticised popular
YouTube stars for promoting Oreos without disclosing they had
struck a deal with Mondelez, the global snack group that owns the biscuit
brand. Not disclosing paid promotion is detrimental to the brand.
A few examples of social media influencers who work with brands:
Sam Ciurdar - Photographer
Ciurdar's Instagram is full of pictures of his adventures. On a trip to
Canada, the professional freelance photographer took some pictures that led to
him becoming a social media influencer for Tim Horton's coffee.
Horton saw that Ciurdar's snaps of the Canadian coffee were popular with
his 35,000 followers so signed a deal with him to promote them officially.
Ciurdar thinks brands are smart in the way they approach influencers,
asking them to be creative in a way that matches their other posts on a given
Michael Platco - Snapchat artist
Platco has created a business out of being a specialist in Snapchat, the
disappearing messaging app that has soared in popularity with teenagers. He has
his own account but often takes over the accounts of brands such as Disney to
send out amusing snaps, which he enlivens with colourful sketches.
So far, Snapchat has not made it easy for influencers and marketers. It
is hard to measure who a 'snap' has reached and they are almost impossible for
a recipient to send on.
'Snapchat in every way is different than Instagram and YouTube and Vine',
he says. 'It is such a different platform that it calls for a whole different
playbook.' He adds he is cautious with brands he chooses to represent. 'I need
to be cool with that brand. I've turned down a good amount of work because I
thought anything I did with this brand would be spammy', he says.
Brent Rivera - Teen vlogger
Rivera, created a series of posts for the teen-focused retailer
Hollister. The teenager made his first brand deal last year and devotes hours a
day to his social media presence. He entrusts the deal making to his manager. '[My
manager] is really good with social media, he knows CPM [cost per mille, an
advertising measure] and what other people are charging for an Instagram post
or tweet and for which companies', he explains. 'It depends on engagement, so I
have pretty high engagement, which means I get a lot of likes.'

Equilateral Truss Bridges
Name: James R. K. Status: Student Age: 15 Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: December 2002
Why do equilateral truss bridges hold the most weight?
I am not sure they do, if you mean what kind of bridge holds the most weight for the smallest amount of material in the bridge. I would have thought that a suspension bridge would win that contest.
It is true, however, that three beams connected in a triangular shape must keep that shape or break. If you connect four beams in a quadrilateral shape, the quadrilateral can be deformed quite easily, as you can quickly convince yourself with a little model, if you are not already convinced.
Best, Dick Plano
I do not think you can say that any one truss type carries the most weight. Since the mid-19th century, when the basic principles of modern structural engineering were developed, a multitude of truss designs have been developed. Each of the successful ones have some advantage depending on the type of load expected, the span required, and the limitations of materials and construction available at the time.
That said, the symmetry of an equilateral triangle corresponds to a symmetry in the forces developed in the truss members. Consequently, this shape has the potential to spread the load applied to the structure in an even fashion.

Michele of Las Vegas, writes:
We're looking for a new king size mattress. Lack of motion transfer is very important. I'm (5'2" 135 lbs late 40's) a side/stomach sleeper and my husband (5'8" 190 lbs. mid 50's) is a stomach/side sleeper. We're starting to wake up with those age related aches and pains! We're thinking medium soft with a low profile. Tempurpedic's heat and firmness concerns us but the motion transfer is great. What do you look for in a latex bed? What would you suggest? Thanks for your help.
Hi Michele. With latex, as with any other kind of bed, basic is what to focus on. High end pillowtops feel great in the store, but that luxurious feeling fades quickly....leaving you feeling like you've just wasted your money. The starting models, especially in latex, work for most. Many women prefer a somewhat softer top, as that gives better at the hip. The Sealy SpringFree River Crest is the most popular with women. Even so, it's not a "too soft" mattress, which allows you to be comfortable on your back and stomach too.

Blood Tests Explained DOWNLOAD PDFReading your blood tests can be especially confusing and often misleading. We highly recommend that you print out this article and learn to make sense of your blood and laboratory tests. We also recommend that you start plotting your blood values on graph paper, since often absolute values are not as important as their rate of change and trend analysis can best be understood by graphical displays. Compiled and edited by Barb Hauser.
Immunoglobulins Explained VIEW ONLINE DOWNLOAD PDFThe most important factor in WM is the level of a specific protein known as IgM, which is overproduced by malignant B-cells and can cause hyperviscosity syndrome, as well as problems with other blood factors. Other immunoglobulins are also important. This paper by Dr. Guy Sherwood, a WM patient and IWMF member who is also a medical doctor, will explain the differences and functions of these important components of the immune system.
Serum 2 Beta Microglobulin Explained VIEW ONLINE DOWNLOAD PDFA little understood smaller protein, serum 2 beta microglobulin, is especially relevant since it is one of the best ways to evaluate the extent of the disease and tumor burden. An equally complex differentiation is between light and heavy protein chains, and Dr. Guy Sherwood explains the relevance.

The International Workshops on Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia In the year 2000 the IWMF took the initiative to convene the top WM researchers worldwide to discuss research and treatment issues. The 2000 workshop in Bethesda, Maryland, was the first conference ever dedicated to WM research, even though Dr. Jan G. Waldenström first described the disease in 1944. Since that first "International Workshop on Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia," the IWMF has been a sponsor of the event.
The International Workshops continue to provide a unique opportunity for all who conduct research worldwide on the genetic basis, pathogenesis, and treatment of WM to gather together in one place and share their findings. Research publications, authored by the participating WM experts, follow each Workshop. Of primary importance to WM patients and caregivers is the update of current treatment recommendations for WM that is published as a summary report by the consensus panel that meets at the end of each Workshop. Below are several such publications.

Formal Investigation
The Hull-based stern trawler F.V. Gaul was lost with all of her 36 crewmembers in very bad weather conditions in Arctic waters, north of Norway, in February 1974. No distress call was ever received, and apart from a lifebuoy, recovered from the sea in May 1974, a part of one of the Gaul's liferaft containers and part of the plastic cover of the Gaul's boat, both trawled up in 1977, no wreckage was found or positively identified until 1997.
A Formal Investigation (FI) was convened in Hull in 1974 to investigate the circumstances of her loss. The then Wreck Commisioner, Mr Justice Barry Sheen concluded "that Gaul capsized and foundered due to being overwhelmed by a succession of heavy seas".
In August 1997, an expedition funded by UK and Norwegian television companies found, and positively identified the wreck of Gaul 70 miles to the north of Norway's North Cape. Following the subsequent showing of the documentary on UK television, the Deputy Prime Minister asked the Marine Accident Investigation Branch whether it was possible to determine the cause of sinking from this new material. The MAIB reviewed the available footage, and concluded that a more detailed examination of the wreck would be required to make any such judgement. The Deputy Prime Minister therefore directed the MAIB to conduct an underwater survey of the wreck and report on its findings.
The MAIB carried out this survey between 10th -12th August 1998, and reported that new and important evidence had been found. A copy of the MAIB's report can be found here. The evidence produced from the survey is both the reason for the rehearing, and the starting point for the new Inquiry, announced by the Deputy Prime Minister on 14th April 1999.
During the period 1st -25th July 2002, the MAIB conducted a further extensive underwater survey of the wreck to obtain further video footage. Innovative techniques and equipment were developed to achieve many challenging objectives which were agreed beforehand by the various parties to the Re-opened Formal Investigation (RFI). These included a detailed internal survey of the wreck to search for human remains. Samples of human remains were obtained for DNA testing.
The survey vessel used, MPSV Seisranger, was equipped with nine Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), which were deployed at a depth of some 265 metres. These included mini-ROVs, launched from the larger workclass ROVs, and used to explore the interior spaces.
Over 3,000 hours of high quality video footage was obtained, along with measurement data for various areas of the wreck. Further details, including images, of this survey are provided in the Survey 2002 section of this website.
It is the Inquiry's hope that the new evidence, together with the evidence examined by the original Formal Investigation, and any other evidence not heard before the previous Formal Investigation will determine the circumstances surrounding the loss of the Gaul.
This website has been established to provide information regarding the RFI including the hearing transcripts and imagery used during the RFI. The Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith, opened the RFI on Tuesday, 13th January 2004 at Europa House, Hull, before the Wreck Commissioner, Mr Justice David Steel.

Initial Eligibility Checklist for Deregistration Evaluation
Early Termination of Certain Person's Obligation to Register
Procedural Steps:
Step One. Applicant should confirm that he/she has only one reportable conviction or adjudication for a sexual offense. If an applicant has more than one reportable conviction or adjudication for a sexual offense, then STOP. The Applicant is ineligible to seek the early termination of his/her obligation to register.
Examples: An applicant's Order of Conviction or Deferred Adjudication Order recites two or more separate counts for sexual offenses. That person is ineligible.
Step Two. An applicant should then go to the Texas Council on Sex Offender Treatment website and "click" on "Deregistration" which appears in the left hand column of the home page.
A series of boxes will drop down, one of which is entitled "Texas Offenses Tiered Under the Adam Walsh Act". Click on this box.
You will be taken to a page containing a link to the Texas Department of Public Safety Sex Offender Registration website. Approximately in the middle of the page on the DPS website is a listing entitled,"Additional Resources". Click on the 3d bullet entitled "Texas Offenses Tiered Under the Adam Walsh Act". This will take you to the list published by the DPS containing reportable convictions and adjudications, by Texas Penal Code citation, that compare minimum registration requirements in Texas and under the federal law for a given offense.
Step Three. Locate on the DPS list your particular Texas Penal Code citation relating to your reportable conviction or adjudication. The minimum registration period for your reportable conviction must EXCEED the minimum registration period under the federal law, or Adam Walsh, in order to move on to the next step.
Step Four. An applicant must also meet any other criteria required on the DPS list.
Example: See. Page 2 of List. Registrants Who were 17 years of age or older at the time of their offense. **Indecency with a Child by Contact
a. §21.11(a)(1) Indecency with a child by contact & involved "consensual Sexual conduct as defined by 42 U.S.C. §16911(5)©; OR b. §21.11(a)(1) Indecency with a child by contact & the victim is at least 13 years of age.
Council Analysis:
a. "Consensual sexual conduct" is defined under federal law to mean The victim was at least13 years of age or older at the time of the offensea and the offender was no more than 4 years older than the victim at the time of the offense. b. The victim must have been at least 13 years of age at the time of the offense.
In the example above, provided all other requirements are met, if an applicant meets the criteria in either (a) or (b) above, then that person is likely to be approved to move forward in the deregistration process and to be referred to a Council-approved Deregistration Evaluation Specialist to sit for a Deregistration Risk Assessment Evaluation. [See. Art. 62.403, CCP]
If, on the other hand, the minimum registration period for the applicant's reportable conviction or adjudication DOES NOT EXCEED the minimum registration period for the same reportable conviction or adjudication under federal law [refer to DPS List] OR the applicant cannot meet the additional criteria, e.g. consensual sexual conduct or victim at least 13 years of age at the time of the offense, then STOP.
The applicant is not eligible to seek the early termination of his/her obligation to register as a sex offender in Texas.
Key Point: Only Texas convictions can be considered for deregistration purposes under this statute. No out of state convictions or adjudications are eligible even though the prospective applicant lives in Texas.
If an Applicant meets the requirements above, then copies of the following required documents/fee must be submitted along with this form:
4. Cashier's Check or Money Order in the Amount of $50.00 made payable to: "Texas Council on Sex Offender Treatment". This fee is assessed for the administrative review of an applicant's file and/or request to early terminate his/her obligation to register as a sex offender in Texas.
[Additional Documents Not Required to Support of an Application for Early Termination]
Texas Department of State Health Services Professional Licensing and Certification Unit Council on Sex Offender Treatment P.O. Box 149347, Mail Code 1982 Austin, Texas 78714 ATTN: CSOT Executive Director

Is everyone eating the year's bountiful Harvest,tomorrow? |
Follow-Up Postings:
We will be eating from a good deal of our harvest. In about half an hour I'll catch and fix the turkey ;) George |
- Posted by slowpoke_gardener 6/7 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 22, 12 at 9:25
Most of my harvest has come from Walmart. Larry |
We went to a relative's house and because we had to drive almost 3 hours each way, they assigned us the simple task of bringing beverages and a dessert because they travel well. Now that we are home, we're eating homemade salsa. Had we hosted the meal at our house, there would have been lots and lots of side dishes from the garden. And, when I bake desserts, I do use our own fresh eggs. Dawn |
My sweet potatoes turned out pretty good, but were a little pithy, I guess because of hot, dry weather. Charlie |
- Posted by ezzirah011 (My Page) on Fri, Nov 23, 12 at 7:58
I had all kinds of sage. YUM.... |
Even though I had a much better sweet potato crop, than say, for the last two years, I still couldn't resist, Wednesday, when I walked into Walmart and saw them for sale at $.38/lb. I purchased about a bushel of them! George |
- Posted by soonergrandmom Z6 Grove (My Page) on Fri, Nov 23, 12 at 13:27
We were so tired from vacation travels that we turned down an invitation to our daughter's house, because we didn't want to be in the car that many hours. Instead, we ate with friends that only live a couple of miles travel distance. George, I bought a few sweet potatoes also, but the deal of the day on Wednesday was turkey. Although I wasn't cooking one for Thanksgiving, I couldn't resist the price. I didn't even have room in the freezer and had to put it in the extra refrigerator to start thawing. My pepper vines froze and I have been pulling them up and was surprised to find several nice bell peppers still on the plants. I have good lettuce, radishes, and sweet peppers from my garden and although I didn't have them on Thanksgiving Day, I plan to make a nice salad today. I have a few winter squash but it would take a crowd to eat one, so I don't know when I will ever use them. So much for the Seminole I thought I was getting. Except for the cool crops growing under the low tunnel, all of the other harvest is either canned or frozen and will be enjoyed all winter. It is amazing how many things in the grocery store you can just pass by when you have had a good garden. |
Charlie, Pithiness can develop for several different reasons. Sometimes it develops if the plants (in-ground or after harvest) are subjected to cold temperatures below 55 degrees or if the sweet potatoes are stored a very long time at very warm temperatures. I'm not sure if moisture fluctuations cause pithiness the way they cause cracking. Leaving the plants into the ground and letting the tubers get overmature can lead to pithiness in some varieties. Y'all are braver than I am if you were in the stores on Wednesday (or today). I avoid stores right around a holiday. I just hate fighting the crowds. Carol, I think that pepper fruit are somewhat cold-tolerant, especially if they have foliage that protects them from frost. I've found peppers on plants in the garden that were subjected to temperatures as low as 26 degrees. While the foliage froze, the peppers were fine. We still have 10 or 12 pepper plants in the greenhouse, which is unheated. I think the coldest it has been in there has been 26 degrees, and the peppers are fine. In fact, the plants continue to flower and form new fruit. We're supposed to go down to 28 degrees tonight, so I'm expecting 24-26 in our microclimate. I'll be happy if I'm wrong about that, because if it gets that cold, the peppers may freeze...and the cold-season crops in the garden will have frost or freeze damage if temps hit the mid-20s. I should go outside in a few minutes and harvest anything that is ready in case we have an ultra-hard killing freeze tonight. I think the lettuce likely will be alright, but much depends on how much colder we get than forecast. I agree it is amazing to walk through the produce section and not buy much because you already have most of the stuff at home that they are selling there. Sometimes I don't think about how much preserved food we have at home until I am walking through the produce section and saying silently to myself "don't need that, got it at home....don't need that...got it at home". If I grew more fruit, I could say it even more often. I just recently harvested all the lemons, oranges and figs from our potted trees, so for New Year's Eve I'm making a lemon chess pie from some of our own lemons. That's not something I get to say very often. My chickens like to eat squash....and so do the deer. When we have an excessive number of winter squash (we have about 60-70 of them sitting around the house and garage right now, including both Seminole and Waltham Butternut), I just share them with the animals. Dawn |
Carol, here's how we handle large squash. I prefer to grow larger squash, because they are easier to process this way, than individually, as with smaller squash. We split the squash and place the cut side down on a cookie tray. Then we bake it until it is soft, remove it from the oven and scoop out the flesh. We use what we want and freeze the rest in 2 to 3 cup servings, using zip lock bags. The bags stack well and they last for years. They're also easy to use. George |
Thank you Dawn for the info on sweet potatoes, I thought to cure them I should keep them by the heater 3 or 4 weeks? George, bought the same sweet potatoes at Walmart today! Charlie |
I have a question for everyone, If on the sweet potato info it gives 90 days to maturity, 90 days fro when? time of planting in the ground or what? Charlie |
- Posted by soonergrandmom Z6 Grove (My Page) on Fri, Nov 23, 12 at 22:07
Thanks George, that sounds like a good idea. Did you catch that turkey? |
Charlie, I believe that means 90 days after planting, and that's just an average. Yes, Carol. Caught him with not difficulty. It was a relief to dress out a turkey for a change. Been doing ducks for weeks, now, and they are much more difficult to clean. Temp here, this morning is 21 F. I'm going to find out if broccoli can handle that under my hoop house. George |
Charlie, If you dig them early enough and it is still very warm outside, you can cure them in a shady spot with temperatures of 80-90 degrees and high humidity. I usually cure them on the covered patio that sits beside a backyard lilypond. I cure then for a week or two and then move them to their storage area. If I've dug them long after the temperatures have cooled, I'll cure them in my garage which has thick insulation and stays really warm until the temperatures are hitting the 20s. How warm? I can keep potted tomatoes and peppers in the garage all winter and they will not freeze until the outdoor air temperature hits 18 degrees. If you dig the sweet potatoes after the nights are already dropping below 55 degrees, you can cure them inside for a week or two and then move them to their storage space. I have stored them in various places over the years...the tornado shelter, the spare room, the garage and the floor of the kitchen pantry. They do pretty well in any of those spots. Then, after you've cured them following the harvest and move them to storage, they continue to improve over the next 6-8 weeks. I'll link a document that explains curing and storage in more detail. George, You had to work for your dinner! What turkey breed was it? Our overnight low was 26, but the Burneyville Mesonet station went to 22. Tim has already checked the greenhouse and said it only went down to 35, which amazes me. I covered up almost all the winter veggie garden olants with floating row cover. I deliberately left several small areas uncovered so I could see what kind of damage occurs on those veggies at specific temperatures. I am about to go out to the garden and uncover everything so I'll know soon enough what kind of damage occurred, if any. I've already harvested all the Packman broccoli,but am hoping for side shoots. The other two broccoli varieties are just sitting there looking pretty but not yet producing. Carol, While I was covering up the winter veggies last night, I looked up and spotted a Seminole pumpkin at the top of the trellis in plain sight, just hanging there looking at me like....."hey, you took everyone else inside weeks ago and here I sit freezing to death on these cold nights". I have no explanation for how I missed it. It is sitting there in plain sight in all its buff-colored glory. Even if vines covered it at harvest time, I should have noticed it when I was looking for any I'd missed after the foliage froze and dried. In fact, I should have noticed it every time I walked into the garden. Maybe garden gnomes crept into the garden at night and attached that pumpkin to the vine or maybe my eyesight is really, really bad even when I am wearing my glasses. Dawn |

I hope everyone had wonderful Thanksgiving. We just back home after few travels and then great thanksgiving weekend with my old colleagues at Flagstaff, AZ. They bought new home and going to put new garden after seeing our garden pics! Cheers Chandra |

Has anyone ever grown one of these plants indoors on a windowsill? I saw a potted pansy in a house window years ago, and often wonder how it did as a house plant. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by purpleinopp 8b AL (My Page) on Thu, Dec 19, 13 at 14:37
If they are true annuals (?), you'd just need to replace them occasionally &/or start a succession of seeds to replace them yourself. With diligent deadheading, I wonder how long you could keep one going? If these plants also make cleistogamous seeds/flowers like ground violets, deadheading would be a moot point. I think I increased the number of questions! IMO, anything cheerful and bloom-ish that you have space for is great, even if it's temporary. Is there no space for them outside where you are? |

I've grown pansies indoors, but never with the intention of keeping them as permanent indoor plants. Some years, I get impatient for spring and buy six-packs of them at the nurseries before it's warm enough to plant outside, so they live indoors for a few weeks. Other years, I've started these plants from seed indoors under lights, again with the intention of putting them out as soon as possible. I didn't find them easy indoors, but that doesn't mean they can't be grown as houseplants. I believe they need cooler temperatures than are comfortable for most people, but if you have a spot where cyclamen do well, violas might do well there, too. In my experience, they need stronger light than cyclamen. My issue, in particular with the nursery-grown plants, was that they seemed to be magnets for aphids and spider mites. I'm not sure one can buy these plants around here *without* aphids and spider mites. I had much less pest-trouble with the ones I grew from seed. I've found that the small-flowered, V tricolor types do better inside than the large-flowered pansy hybrids. Outside, I dead-head mine and then, when they get stringy in the hot weather, I chop them back to about an inch above the ground. They sit there and do little until early fall, when they spring back to life and bloom until snow covers them. Sometimes I find them when the snow melts in spring, chop them back again, and get another season of bloom. I wonder if you could use the same chopping-back technique on an indoor plant, and maybe get a longer "season" out of it. I think they'd make charming windowsill plants, If you try growing them inside, please let us know how it goes. Amanda |
