Hi,this is my first post in this forum,I just got a new pitcher plant from Cameron Highland which I really like.I forgot to take a photo of it,but it is green with some red stripes or dots on it and it has some "hair" on it.Is there any special care for it?And another question,when I brought my plant back home,i found out that the water fell out from the pitcher on my way bringing it back to my house.Is this ok?Should I add some water in it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
We need more info on the type of plant it is. Sounds like a Nepenthes but could be a Sarracenia. Take a photo and post it. IF it's a Nepenthes add about an inch of water to the pitchers, this will help them (the pitchers) last longer. |

Rats! The True Story of Bubonic Plague in the Lower Haight
A century ago, San Francisco was plagued by a deadly outbreak. Here's the true story of an operation based in the Lower Haight that saved the city.
Just over 100 years ago, San Francisco was twice struck by the bubonic plague.
The first outbreak, which lasted from 1900 to 1904, was largely confined to Chinatown — in part because racial segregation meant that most of San Francisco's Chinese were crammed into poorly-made and densely-packed housing there.
The second outbreak, which spread all over city, was at its peak between 1907 and 1909, just as the city was recovering from the 1906 earthquake.
The plague arrived in San Francisco via stowaway rats on ships docked at San Francisco's harbor. The ships came from ports in Asia and Hawaii, which had both already seen major outbreaks of the epidemic. In order to combat the disease, the rats themselves had to be rounded up and exterminated in hopes of also eliminating the fleas they bred — fleas that landed on humans, infecting them with the deadly disease.
During San Francisco's second outbreak of the plague, all of these public health efforts were orchestrated from headquarters right here in the Lower Haight at the corner of Page and Fillmore. The offices and "rattery" were housed at 401 Fillmore, a two-story Victorian, which has long since been replaced by a larger apartment building.
But the stories of rats and plague in the Lower Haight live on in newspapers from the time.
Dr. Rupert Blue of the US Public Health and Marine Hospital Service led the anti-plague campaign during the second outbreak. The first difficulty for Blue was finding a home for the plague laboratory; many people understandably did not want to rent out their property to what would soon be home to rats and fleas carrying the bubonic plague.
They finally settled upon 401 Fillmore Street, which they rented for $80 a month from a landlord named Mrs. M. M. Fitzgerald.
Prior to becoming the plague headquarters, the house seems to have been used as a family home. Throughout the 1890s, for instance, advertisements regularly appeared in the San Francisco Call looking for a "good girl" or a "good American or German girl" to perform "general housework" for a "small family" at 401 Fillmore. It could be that Mrs. Fitzgerald just happened to have an empty house on her hands at the time that Blue was looking for his plague headquarters. In any event, this is where he ended up.
Once Blue and his fellow scientists moved into 401 Fillmore, they immediately set about hiring rat catchers and sanitary engineers. Hundreds of out-of-work men applied.
At a lecture at the First Unitarian Church at Geary and Franklin in February of 1908, Blue explained to his audience that the best way to combat the plague was to kill the rats, either by poison or starvation. Do not leave out food scraps. Make sure that your garbage cans close tightly, and make your basements "rat tight." Above all, do not touch the rats, dead or alive, and avoid the fleas that live in their coats. Allow the professionals to take away dead rats.
At the headquarters, Blue constructed the "Rattery" in an annex that seems to have been behind the house itself. There scientists dissected the rats, looking for telltale signs of the plague. If they found them, they then developed germ colonies from the bacteria and injected those into guinea pigs. If the guinea pigs died, they knew they would have to redouble their efforts to round up the rats in whatever area of the city the rat had come from.
They dissected hundred of rats each day, filling eight to ten steel garbage cans daily with carcasses. The work was urgent; less than a month after Blue's arrival there were already fifty-one positive cases in humans and thirty dead. The cost of all this was between 30 and 50 thousand dollars a month, which included the wages of his 300 employees, the rent at 401 Fillmore, and the supplies (including poison and cheese, of course).
By November of 1907, other countries were instituting quarantines against the city of San Francisco, and the federal government agreed to commit $50,000 in aid per month. Blue's team was catching 13,000 rats per week, and testing as many as they could. All told, 281 San Franciscans became ill with the plague, and 190 died in the second outbreak.
Some additional facts and figures from Blue's operation: more than 350,000 rats had been trapped and killed, with an additional 1.65 million estimated dead below the surface of the city. In the 1909-1910 fiscal year alone, Blue reported that his team had set 313,913 rat poisons and trapped 104,182 rats. In addition they had killed 15,630 mice, 194 gophers, and 24 squirrels (what would become the next carrier for the disease). In order to do this, they had used 3,640 pounds of bacon, 2,080 pounds of cheese, and 6,500 loaves of bread. Throughout the epidemic they had tested more than 154,000 at the Rattery at the corner of Fillmore and Page.
Simultaneously, Dr. Blue used the office at 401 Fillmore for other public health duties. In 1909 an article in the San Francisco Call reported that anyone who wanted to give up any "white rats, white mice, guinea pigs, hares, South American and old world monkeys and orang outangs," should bring them to Blue at 401 Fillmore. He would collect the animals for shipment to the leper settlement in Molokai, Hawaii, where they would be used in order to help treat and cure leprosy.
Blue closed up the headquarters at 401 Fillmore in 1910 once he had largely wiped out the plague in San Francisco. Fresh on the heels of his successes here, he was appointed US Surgeon General in 1912, a post he held until 1920. He was later president of the American Medical Association.
But back to the Lower Haight.
After Blue's operation moved out, 401 Fillmore became the home of E. S. Bonelli, who gave private music lessons under the aegis of the Bonelli Conservatory of Music. Bonelli had moved to San Francisco in 1880 after musical training in Germany, and founded the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in 1881. By the early twentieth century, however, having fallen on hard times, Bonelli was offering music lessons in his "Conservatory" at 401 Fillmore. He was also running a loan business from the home, lending out money against the value of furniture and pianos, according to the ads he regularly placed in San Francisco papers. In 1911 he was also sued as a co-respondent in a divorce case, meaning that Bonelli was accused of having an affair with the wife of the divorcing man. Bonelli died at 401 Fillmore in November of 1912 and the house presumably passed on to other owners or renters.
At some point the house at 401 Fillmore Street, as well as several others around it, were torn down, and in 1927 the large blue apartment building that currently occupies the site was constructed. Its front door and address are no longer on Fillmore, but instead face Page, meaning that there actually is no "401 Fillmore" any longer.
And there you have it — yet another little-known example of history being made, right here in the Lower Haight.

The region is also, we learned at breakfast, a violent seismic area. As I finished off the last of our medialunas (croissants), the one constant of all breakfasts in Argentina, the patio began to rumble. It went on that way for 10 seconds or so, no one paying it any mind. A server smiled and refilled my coffee. Not even the dog, lying at our feet, flinched.
Somewhere around San Juan, the vineyards begin to come fast and furious. This is Mendoza Province, the heart of Argentina's thriving wine industry, which ranks fifth in global production. Though we were tempted to turn off at one of the many wineries, we pressed on. We'd tasted many fine wines over the past few days, and we had to get to the city of Mendoza for our flight to Buenos Aires the next day. Our last hour on Ruta 40 was unremarkable, and we were feeling melancholy. Adding to the mood was the arrival of the first clouds we'd seen in days, followed by a soaking rain that rolled in fast over the semidesert south of San Juan.
They say Mendoza has more trees than people, and, as we drove into town, that seemed about right. It is a cosmopolitan city speckled with landscaped parks, boasting wide avenues lined with leafy sycamore and eucalyptus trees. Our destination, the Park Hyatt Mendoza, faced the main square, the sprawling Plaza de la Independencia. Behind its white colonial-style front was a modern hotel with a slick, red-lit lounge, two high-end restaurants, and a beautiful palm-shaded pool that steamed in the thick, damp air.
That final night, in the hotel's bistro, we met Francis Mallman. A dashing man in a houndstooth blazer and well-worn leather boots, he is, it turned out, one of the country's most famous chefs, a man with restaurants in Mendoza; Buenos Aires; Punta del Este, Uruguay; and Westhampton, New York. Francis recommended a Familia Marguery Malbec and sat down to talk travel. When we mentioned our trip, he smiled. "Beautiful road, that one," he said; he told us of a special that he was planning for Latin American television. The idea: he would drive Ruta 40 from top to bottom, stopping in towns to sample local specialties and talk about food.
"So," he said, looking around the table. "Who wants to come along?"

Moffat County girls soccer closes season in style with 1-0 win

MCHS seniors playing their final game in Craig Friday

The Moffat County girls soccer team closed out its regular season on a high note Friday, beating Grand Junction Central 1-0 in Craig.
It was a good end to the best season in MCHS girls soccer history, giving the seniors a win on senior night and an 8-6-1 record on the year. The team will await the result of a game between Basalt and Vail Mountain to see if it has a guaranteed playoff spot. A Vail Mountain win would put them ahead of the Bulldogs on a tiebreaker, while a loss or tie would leave Moffat County in fourth place in the Western Slope League.
But head coach Harry Tripp wasn't as concerned about that Friday. He liked seeing this group go out with a win at Woodbury Sports Complex.
"They played hard and tough the whole game," Tripp said. "We set the goal of being up 1-0 at halftime, then when we got that, I wanted 2-0 by the end of the game. We came close on the second goal, but our defense played really well."
Allie Ehlers scored the game's only goal with 14 minutes left in the first half. On a free kick from about 30 yards straight out, Ehlers launched a ball on target, and it beat Central goalkeeper Marisa Brown.
For much of the second half the Warriors applied pressure, but Moffat County's defense stood tall. Whenever a shot got off, Bulldog goalie Skylar Tripp was there to handle it.
"Skylar was all over the place in goal," Tripp said. "That was one of her best games, and our whole team just played really well."
While the playoffs are not yet guaranteed, Moffat County would have a chance to make the field of 32 even if it loses out on fourth place in the WSL to Vail Mountain. Before Friday's win the Bulldogs were ranked 23rd in Class 3A at MaxPreps.com, one of the tools used by the Colorado High School Activities Association to determine the six at-large berths in the tournament.
Regardless of the playoff situation, it was an all-time season for Moffat County. They set the school record in wins with eight (previous record was five) and at one point won four straight games.
"I hope even if Vail (Mountain) wins, they'll decide to take five from our region," Tripp said. "We didn't have all our girls at that game, and they beat us. I hope they'll see what we put together this season and say we deserve it."

Young's Literal Translation (YLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And Moses hath been feeding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, priest of Midian, and he leadeth the flock behind the wilderness, and cometh in unto the mount of God, to Horeb; | 1 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. |
2 and there appeareth unto him a messenger of Jehovah in a flame of fire, out of the midst of the bush, and he seeth, and lo, the bush is burning with fire, and the bush is not consumed. | 2 There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. |
3 And Moses saith, `Let me turn aside, I pray thee, and I see this great appearance; wherefore is the bush not burned?' | 3 So Moses thought, "I will go over and see this strange sight--why the bush does not burn up." |
4 and Jehovah seeth that he hath turned aside to see, and God calleth unto him out of the midst of the bush, and saith, `Moses, Moses;' and he saith, `Here [am] I.' | 4 When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, "Moses! Moses!" And Moses said, "Here I am." |
5 And He saith, `Come not near hither: cast thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place on which thou art standing is holy ground.' | 5 "Do not come any closer," God said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." |
6 He saith also, `I [am] the God of thy father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob;' and Moses hideth his face, for he is afraid to look towards God. | 6 Then he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God. |
7 And Jehovah saith, `I have certainly seen the affliction of My people who [are] in Egypt, and their cry I have heard, because of its exactors, for I have known its pains; | 7 The LORD said, "I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. |
8 and I go down to deliver it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to cause it to go up out of the land, unto a land good and broad, unto a land flowing with milk and honey -- unto the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. | 8 So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey--the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. |
9 `And now, lo, the cry of the sons of Israel hath come in unto Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them, | 9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. |
10 and now, come, and I send thee unto Pharaoh, and bring thou out My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.' | 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt." |
11 And Moses saith unto God, `Who [am] I, that I go unto Pharaoh, and that I bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt?' | 11 But Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" |
12 and He saith, `Because I am with thee, and this [is] to thee the sign that I have sent thee: in thy bringing out the people from Egypt -- ye do serve God on this mount.' | 12 And God said, "I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain." |
13 And Moses saith unto God, `Lo, I am coming unto the sons of Israel, and have said to them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you, and they have said to me, What [is] His name? what do I say unto them?' | 13 Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?" |
14 And God saith unto Moses, `I AM THAT WHICH I AM;' He saith also, `Thus dost thou say to the sons of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.' | 14 God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.' " |
15 And God saith again unto Moses, `Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel, Jehovah, God of your fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you; this [is] My name -- to the age, and this My memorial, to generation -- generation. | 15 God also said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers--the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob--has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from generation to generation. |
16 `Go, and thou hast gathered the elders of Israel, and hast said unto them: Jehovah, God of your fathers, hath appeareth unto me, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I have certainly inspected you, and that which is done to you in Egypt; | 16 "Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to them, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers--the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob--appeared to me and said: I have watched over you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt. |
17 and I say, I bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt, unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto a land flowing [with] milk and honey. | 17 And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites--a land flowing with milk and honey.' |
18 `And they have hearkened to thy voice, and thou hast entered, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye have said unto him, Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, hath met with us; and now, let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to Jehovah our God. | 18 "The elders of Israel will listen to you. Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, 'The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the desert to offer sacrifices to the LORD our God.' |
19 `And I -- I have known that the king of Egypt doth not permit you to go, unless by a strong hand, | 19 But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand compels him. |
20 and I have put forth My hand, and have smitten Egypt with all My wonders, which I do in its midst -- and afterwards he doth send you away. | 20 So I will stretch out my hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go. |
21 `And I have given the grace of this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it hath come to pass, when ye go, ye go not empty; | 21 "And I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed. |
22 and [every] woman hath asked from her neighbour, and from her who is sojourning in her house, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and ye have put [them] on your sons and on your daughters, and have spoiled the Egyptians.' | 22 Every woman is to ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house for articles of silver and gold and for clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder the Egyptians." |

I had thought of this a couple of weeks back, but I had to wait till the holiday season passed to give it a go. Since #followalibrarian may or may not have been usurped by Twitter lists, I thought this meme would be something fun to replace it. Why toss a search into Google when you have your fellow librarians who can point you to nice sites they consult on a regular basis? Nothing quite like having an explanation and endorsement!
Here is a saved search. I intend to go back and mine the links out of it.
and a good idea, and plenty of people who use twitter would be interested~
Wouldn't this oblige one to be using Twitter? I've been far happier staying over on Identica...

Funny tattoos, misspellings, product placement, celebrity portraits
Without a doubt, the best portrait tat I've ever seen. But, Kobe is a douche and so is this guy. Rumor has it this guy paid 10k to be pissed on my Mr. Bryant.
That is one seriously gay tattoo. And I don't mean gay as in stupid, insipid, or foolish, I mean gay as in "bumping uglies while screaming into each other's chest hair."
I don't care what ya say about Kobe, that is one awesome tattoo!!
talk about taking wiggerism to a new level!!! a white guy with a black rapist guy's face tattoo?? what an idiot!!!
I'm not concerned about the quality of the work; I couldn't care less. That tattoo is just as stupid as any on here.
lol @ wiggerism, but since when does having consensual sex and nutting on a skanks face make you a rapist?
lol "best portrait tat i've ever seen" that's laughable
There are Kobe t-shirts, right?
this is awesome except kobe is not wearing any championship rings oh well
Is it just me or does that look more like Eddie Murphy? I never would have gotten Kobe from that. Crappy piece.
well at least they picked a good tattoo artist. most portraits suck balls but at least this one is well done. still dumb though…

Makes about 24 bars
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 pound milk chocolate
- 4 cups mini-marshmallows
In a bowl combine well the crumbs, the sugar, the salt, and the butter and, reserving 1 cup of the mixture, press the remaining mixture into the bottom of a flameproof baking dish, 13 by 9 by 2 inches. Bake the crust in a preheated 350°F. oven for 12 minutes, or until it is golden, and let it cool in the dish on a rack. In a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt the chocolate, stirring, pour it over the crust spreading it evenly, and sprinkle it with the marshmallows, pressing them lightly, and the reserved crumb mixture. Broil the dessert under a preheated broiler about 2 inches from the heat for 30 seconds, or until the marshmallows are golden, let it cool completely, and cut it into squares.

2012 Triumph Bonneville by Vintage Racer
Ah the sights of Paris. Le Eiffel tower. Le Arc De Triomphe. Le modified Triumph Bonneville. The last of these is a recent addition to the visual splendour of Paris, and we have Vintage Racer Motorcycles to thank for the pleasure. This Bonnie was created for a customer who turned out to be a prince from Qatar, or an 'emir' in french – so they named the bike 'Bobbemir'. It has been built with all the hallmarks of Vintage Racer's belief that their bikes should be ridden not hidden. Whether as an every day rider or something to take for a burn on a Sunday afternoon, their bikes are for blowing out cobwebs, not collecting them. This bike is as much a monument to French engineering as the Eiffel tower, but le tower Eiffel never had a chance to sport pipewrap.
Starting with a standard 2012 Triumph Bonneville, the Vintage Racer crew hooked in to the build. Ditching the factory seat, a vintage camel leather bound cushion takes it's place. Under the custom seat sits the reshaped rear guards, sporting a Daytona tail light in place of the factory one. The footrests are LSL supplied, with custom mounts to suit this Gallic work of art. The most notable part of the bike has to be the wheels though. This has been an awesome addition to the build, with Vintage Racers looking to Harley Davidson styled rims for inspiration. 17 inch Kineo rims, front and rear, mounted on Alpina hubs. The front end is wrapped in Michelin T63 120 profile rubber, while the rear is a Metzeler 160 profile tire.

Probably Not Effective Treatments
Essentially, angina is a muscle cramp in the heart—the one muscle that cannot take a rest. It develops when the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen for its needs from the arteries that supply it: the coronary arteries. Angina is, therefore, a symptom of coronary artery disease. Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of coronary artery disease; it causes thickened arterial walls and impaired blood flow.
People usually experience angina as a squeezing chest pain, as if a heavy weight rested on the chest or a tight band wrapped around it. This is often accompanied by sweating, shortness of breath, and possibly pain radiating into the left arm or neck. Usually, angina is brought on by exercise—the more rapidly the heart pumps, the more oxygen it needs. Atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) is the most common cause of angina.
People with angina are at high risk for a heart attack, and treatment must take that into account. Drugs that expand (dilate) the heart's arteries, such as nitroglycerin, can give immediate relief. Other drugs help over the long-term by making the heart's work easier. It is also important to slow or reverse the progression of atherosclerosis by treating high blood pressure and high cholesterol and by reducing other risk factors. Surgical treatments (such as angioplasty and coronary artery bypass grafting) physically widen the blood vessels that feed the heart.
Angina is a serious disease that absolutely requires conventional medical evaluation and supervision. No one should self-treat for angina. However, alternative treatments may provide a useful adjunct to standard medical care when monitored by an appropriate healthcare professional. We intentionally do not give dosages in this section as they should be individualized by your doctor; however, you can find general guidelines in the separate articles on each substance.
Note: Because angina is usually caused by atherosclerosis, other relevant information may be found in the Atherosclerosis article.
The vitamin-like substance L-carnitine might be a good addition to standard therapy for angina. Carnitine plays a role in the cellular production of energy. Although carnitine does not address the cause of angina, it appears to help the heart produce energy more efficiently, thereby enabling it to get by with less oxygen.
In one controlled study, 200 individuals with angina (the exercise-induced variety) received either a daily dose of L-carnitine or were left untreated.1 All the study participants continued to take their usual medication for angina. Those taking carnitine showed improvement in several measures of heart function, including a significantly greater ability to exercise without chest pain. They were also able to reduce the dosage of some of their heart medications (under medical supervision) as their symptoms decreased.
Unfortunately, the results of this study can't be fully trusted because it didn't use a double-blind, placebo-controlled design. (For information on why double studies are so important, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies?) A smaller trial that did use a double-blind, placebo-controlled format evaluated 52 people with angina.2 The results showed that daily use of L-carnitine significantly improved symptoms as compared to placebo.
Other studies (both single- and double-blind) used a special form of L-carnitine called L-propionyl-carnitine, and researchers found evidence of benefit.3-6 Consult with your physician regarding dosage and specific safety issues.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full L-carnitine article.
Magnesium has actions in the body that resemble those of drugs in the calcium channel blocker family, although much weaker. Since these drugs are useful for angina, magnesium has been tried as well.
In a 6-month, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 187 individuals with angina were given either daily oral magnesium or placebo.17 The results showed that use of magnesium significantly improved exercise capacity, lessened exercise-induced chest pain, and improved general quality of life.
Similarly, two double-blind, placebo-controlled studies, enrolling a total of about 100 people with coronary artery disease found that supplementation with magnesium significantly improved exercise tolerance.18,24

Meta Loftsgaarden
Since 1998, Meta's connections with Oregon Tilth and its members have taken various forms. In Montana, she ran the Agricultural Marketing and Business Development Bureau. In that capacity, she assisted organic growers with grants and technical assistance to market their products both domestically and in countries like Taiwan. She was also a member of the Western Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education board. In this capacity, she reviewed and approved numerous grants that supported organic food production and sustainable farming practices.
Upon moving to Oregon, she worked on many projects that coordinated the work of her agency, the Natural Resources Conservation Service and Oregon Tilth in support of organic farmers in the region. She worked with Tilth staff to jointly apply for WSARE funding to cross-training NRCS conservation professionals and organic certifiers. She also helped coordinate staffing capacity in the agency's technical center to support organic producer participation in Farm Bill programs. And she worked closely with Oregon Tilth staff in her role as staff lead for the state's Technical Advisory Committee to ensure that organic interests were equally represented with those of other agricultural organizations.
In addition to her experience on the WSARE board, she also served for five years on the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board prior to joining the agency's staff in 2012. From her work in her current position as well as previous roles with state and federal agencies, Meta brings extensive facilitation experience, a strong background in grant management and political expertise from her time working in the Montana Governor's office. Her work on both the marketing and the natural resource conservation aspects of organic production at the policy level aligns well with Oregon Tilth's work to develop and use sustainable growing practices that promote soil health, conserve natural resources, and prevent environmental degradation while producing a clean and healthful food supply for humanity.


text: Agencies Propose CRA Relief for Small Banks The ICBA strongly welcomed a proposal by federal bank regulators to increase the asset size of banks eligible for the small bank streamlined Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) examination from $250 million to $500 million and also eliminate the holding company size limit (currently $1 billion). The proposal comes after a thorough review of the CRA regulation and over 400 comments from the public that started in the summer of 2001. ICBA commends the regulators for making this change. If the agencies' proposal is adopted, the regulatory paperwork and examination burden will be eased for 1,100 community banks between $250 million and $500 million of assets. These banks will no longer be subject to the investment and service tests, nor to CRA loan data collection and reporting requirements. Even so, the percentage of industry assets examined under the large bank tests will decrease only slightly from a little more than 90% to a little less than 90%. During the FDIC's discussion of the proposal, Vice Chairman John Reich said that "many in the industry will say it doesn't go far enough, and I'm inclined to agree with them." OTS Director James Gilleran, while agreeing with Reich, suggested that a compromise was needed to keep the process moving. However, they both stressed the need to reduce regulatory burden. As Reich pointed out, "I'm concerned we're regulating community banks out of existence." Feedback received by the agencies as part of their efforts to reduce regulatory burden during the ongoing EGRPRA (Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996) review helped to spur this CRA proposal. ICBA CRA Study. ICBA has long urged federal regulators to increase the CRA small bank size limit, most recently advocating an increase to $2 billion. A 2002 Grant Thornton/ICBA study showed that compliance costs can more than double when a bank is no longer eligible for the streamlined CRA exam. In supporting the proposal, FDIC staff referred to cost studies that quantify the increased CRA exam burden for larger community banks. The agencies also cited changing industry demographics as the gap between "mega-banks" and those under $1 billion grows. Because of industry consolidation and bank asset growth, the number of banks defined as "small" has declined by 2000 since the $250 million small bank threshold was originally established in 1995. Other Changes. To "balance" this change, the agencies also propose to "clarify" that predatory or abusive loan practices can affect a bank's CRA rating. The proposal would explicitly provide that a pattern or practice of loans based primarily on collateral or foreclosure value instead of the borrower's ability to repay would be indicative of predatory lending. The proposal would also clarify that if a bank asks examiners to consider the lending record of an affiliate, the examiners may consider all aspects of the affiliate's lending practices-good and bad-and all loans made by the affiliate. Finally, the CRA disclosures prepared by the agencies for "large banks" will include a breakdown of the number and amount of small business and small farm loans by census tract. This data is now disclosed only in the aggregate across tracts within income categories. The agencies stressed that this will not require banks to make any changes to their current reporting and will only change how the agencies disclose the data. Banker Comments Critical. The small bank changes are controversial and will be vigorously opposed by consumer and community groups. Community activists quickly slammed the proposal, claiming it would allow more banks to 'shirk their duties' even though the proposal will not change small banks' obligations to meet their communities' credit needs. Charging that the proposal "goes in precisely the wrong direction," House Financial Services Committee ranking member Barney Frank (D-MA) and committee member Bernie Saunders (I-VT) immediately requested that Chairman Mike Oxley (R-OH) hold hearings on the proposal to explore whether it is "consistent with CRA." Therefore, the agencies must hear from community bankers expressing support for the proposed changes or advocating an increase to the streamlined exam threshold higher than $500 million in assets. The agencies will accept comments for 60 days after the proposal is published in the Federal Register.

Why the Nationals Need To Move Tyler Clippard
June 17, 2011 in Uncategorized
Despite their recent hot streak, the Nationals look to be surefire sellers between now and July 31st. In that vein there has been a lot of discussion of who might be available, and while the usual suspects (Jason Marquis, Ivan Rodriguez, Todd Coffey) are generally accepted, one name that hasn't gotten a lot of attention is RP Tyler Clippard.
Now it is understandable why Clippard gets overlooked, as he is under team control for 4 1/2 seasons after this and has been one of the best late inning relievers in the league. Despite that dealing Clippard, is in the Nationals best interest long term. For as good as Clippard is, at the end of the day he is just one piece of a strong bullpen. And while bullpen's are important, by in large they are overvalued by the industry, in particular by contenders (which makes some sense). Last year the Nats were able to pry top catching prospect Wilson Ramos from the Twins, for a year and a half of Matt Capps. Now Capps is a good reliever, but at the end of the day Clippard is cheaper, under control for longer and in fact a better reliever than Capps.
Now I realize the counter-argument among Nats fans is to keep him, for when they are contending. Which could be as soon as next year, depending on how Stephen Strasburg comes back, and how quickly top prospects Bryce Harper and Anthony Rendon join the lineup, but a more realistic target is 2013. And while they could still have Clippard under control for a couple more years, getting that prospect return will likely have a far bigger impact than one reliever. Is there a risk? Of course there is, but there would be one with Clippard as well. Relievers are extremely volatile and the Nationals could end up not being able to move him due to performance or injury. Injury derailed the career of the Nats former bullpen ace Chad Cordero, a player that they decided to hold on to, instead of moving for prospects when he was at an All-star level. The Royals have had to also deal with their top bullpen arm losing his value, as they decided not to deal Joakim Soria last season, when his value was at it's highest. Now if they tried to move him, they'd be lucky to get 50 cents on the dollar.
Moving Clippard now makes sense for the Nationals because they can basically ask for a king's ransom. On talent alone Clippard would be among the top 5 relievers available at the deadline, but when you factor in cost, and years of control, he quickly moves to the top of the list. And given that level of value, I see the Nationals being able to land at least 3 quality young players in return, with 2 of them at a value level similar to Wilson Ramos.
While there could be any number of suitors, with the Yankees, Rangers, Cardinals all likely options, I think the best fit might be the Tampa Bay Rays. Tampa's bullpen has been just okay so far this season, and needs to get stronger for Tampa to have a legitimate shot at the playoffs. Long term their outlook is even worse, as a number of their best options are free agents after this year or next. Given Tampa's limited payroll they aren't able to spend too much on the free agent market, and that includes resigning some of their own guys. While Tampa could stick to their strategy of converting a bunch of starting pitchers, it's an idea that could take time. Instead they could trade for someone who has already made the transition and is quite effective. Clippard would give the Rays exactly what they need. He is a bullpen workhorse, as evidenced by his 40+ innings pitched already. He's the type of guy who can give 5-6 outs, and is a strike thrower, and among the top 10 in K's per 9 innings. Clippard has also left a ridiculous 97.9% of runners stranded, which means even if he does make a mistake and give up a walk or a hit, he doesn't implode like some relievers. It might cost Tampa a couple quality prospects, but it could be well worth it for them.

I'm making these kids on swings to sell and I have no idea what to charge.
Anyone know what the going price would be for these? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's all about what the market will pay. I'd suggest you cruise around on ebay looking for similar items (maybe search a term like folk art?). I imagine they take more time to make than you will get compensated for, so I hope you are doing it as much for the fun as for the money :-) Actually, putting a couple on ebay with a low reserve or no reserve would be a good way to do a value test. KarinL |
Thanks Karinl, I tried to find some on Kijjii with no luck. Guess I did not know the right search words:-) The first ones we make will cost nothing since I have lots of paint and things to decorate them with. It is mostly for fun so I don't expect to get rich quick from them, LOL |
- Posted by slateberry51 (My Page) on Tue, Mar 29, 11 at 10:05
I would try selling on etsy. Also if you did a series with kids faces of different cultures it might sell well; there are so many blended families these days, I'm sure some people would like their decor to match their family a bit better. They'd be really nice in a pediatrician's office waiting area. |
