Ho, Makua kick off North Shore Season
Congratulations to Oakley's Mason Ho for finishing runner-up in his first ever WQS final.
Mason's father, Michael, a 4-time Xcel Pro champion (his uncle Derek also holds a title) watched along with family and friends as 19 year-old Mason took second at his home break at the 4-Star 2007 Xcel Pro Presented by No Fear.
In the exciting, down-to-the-wire final heat, defending champ Joel Centeio, turned in a 7.77 ride that kicked Ho out of first and clinched the victory. Oakley's Makua Rothman made back-to-back back final appearances, finishing third ahead of Alex Gray. The finals were a veritable "young-gun" showdown, with the average age barely legal at 21.7.
Waves ranged from 4' to 7', staying relatively consistent in size as the lineup shifted to the point around midday. The 2007 Xcel Pro is the kick-off event for Oahu's North Shore winter surf season.
Final Results
- Joel Centeio $10,000 (1,500 pts)
- Mason Ho $5,000 (1,313 pts)
- Makua Rothman $3,000 (1,125 pts)

Well, I'm new here. I've been melting down for about two weeks, every night, and having nightmares when I'm finally asleep. Well, more than two weeks. The reason for that is that I'm going to leave the country in like 4 days, and I have a girlfriend here..
I'm going back to Finland, and it's really exciting having been away for almost a year, but still.. She's the only one that seems to matter nowadays. I'd be happy if I could just take her with me. Or stay here. But not be in America, cuz this sucks. But it's not going to happen. Well, it is, in three years.

hello beloved.
Jai Maa!
Welcome. You have arrived at Sunrose Yoga, where we soak up life's gifts and challenges with curiosity and reverence: through the lens of yoga.
I am Kelly Connor Sunrose: yogini, artist, mama, peace & justice educator and environmental advocate. rain-walker. sanskrit-talker. peace-maker. earth-shaker.
my practice: staying in the love.
I am TOTALLY committed to peaceful & just approaches to education and conflict resolution.
I've been practicing yoga my entire adult life, studying with many amazing teachers and friends. My practice is rooted in Kasmir Shaivism with a healthy dose of mindfulness. I have been teaching strange, slow, radical yoga since 2006 and am registered with Yoga Alliance as an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 200).
My yoga classes are filled with stories, songs, chants, meditation, breath-work and philosophy. I encourage students to trust the body's wisdom as they work through postures, finding alignment that is both logical (safe) and intuitive (affirming).
Students leave my classes with a greater appreciation of the "long-view" that yoga invites us to take, a more compassionate view of themselves and others and more balance of body, mind and spirit.
I offer
weekly group classes in Portland, Oregon,
online and in-person private sessions with students and fellow teachers,
online courses,
and Podcasts.
All for you.

Turmeric (curcuma longa), a bold bright yellow spice native to Southeast Asia, is a true "super food" shown to have remarkable healing properties. The use of turmeric can be dated back as far as 3,000 BC, and Marco Polo mentioned it in his notes as early as 1280 when speaking of his travels to China. In medieval times, turmeric was actually referred to as "Indian saffron," and ever since that time period, this boldly colored spice has been used to serve as an inexpensive substitute for the more difficult to come by saffron.
Turmeric has been found to be effective when used for peptic, gastric and duodenal ulcers as well as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). More recently it has been found through research to be helpful in the treatment of several different forms of cancer, including colon cancer, duodenal cancer, leukemia, mouth cancer, stomach cancer, and even pancreatic cancer.
That's right! A Phase II clinical trial conducted at MD Anderson Cancer Center found that turmeric was equal to or better than all currently available FDA approved drugs for pancreatic cancer, except that it does not cause the same negative side effects. When combined with other powerful nutrients like fish oil, olive oil, and/or black pepper, turmeric's anti-cancer effects are even further amplified, as the spice is not very well absorbed by the body on its own. Turmeric can also protect cells against xenoestrogens ("synthetic" estrogens) because it can fit to the same receptor as estrogen or estrogen-mimicking chemicals. In a study on human breast cancer cells, turmeric reversed growth caused by a certain form of estrogen by 98% and growth caused by DDT by 75%.
Concerning Alzheimer's disease, turmeric inhibits formation of, and breaks down, Amyloid-beta oligomers (entwined fibres) and aggregates (lumps). In other words, it keeps the brain neuron synapses free of plaque and keeps the brain functioning normally. Also, a number of studies have suggested that curcumin (the biologically active constituent in turmeric) protects against Alzheimer's disease by turning on a gene responsible for the production of antioxidants. A December 2003 study published in the Italian Journal of Biochemistry discussed curcumin's role in the induction of the heme oxygenase (HO) pathway, a protective system that (when triggered in brain tissue) causes the production of the potent antioxidant "bilirubin," which protects the brain against oxidative (free radical) damage.
Turmeric also has been shown to help reduce the risk of heart disease. As I've mentioned before, cholesterol is essential for life, and the role which cholesterol plays in heart disease is misunderstood. According to recent research at Harvard, the primary causes of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries which leads to heart disease) are inflammation, lesions, and plaque in the arteries caused by *SUGAR* which causes insulin to be released. Insulin causes lesions in the endothelium of the arteries that become clogged with cholesterol. So, cholesterol gets the blame, but the real culprit is sugar. Turmeric can help fight inflammation in the body (and arteries), and this subsequently helps prevent heart disease.
Turmeric can also help the body detoxify and protect the liver from the effects of toxic drugs (including "legal" prescription drugs), alcohol, pesticides, heavy metals, and countless other chemicals. The liver's main job is to expel these toxins from your bloodstream so you can continue to live. But if your body is overloaded with these harmful substances, your liver is going to need a "boost." According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, curcumin stimulates production of bile by the gallbladder. The liver uses bile to eliminate toxins, and bile also rejuvenates liver cells that break down harmful compounds. For this reason, turmeric has been used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine to treat digestion and liver disorders.
I like sprinkling turmeric on scrambled eggs (free range, of course), omelets, and also in egg salad. Another interesting way to benefit from turmeric is to take it in the form of hot tea. Just boil water, add turmeric powder, grated ginger, and a little raw honey or stevia. Add some almond milk and enjoy!
[...] Cancer Truth [...]
I heard you being interviewed on RBN. Good article on Tumeric. We've incorporated it into our daily diets, but are not quite sure how to determine our functional dosage. Any suggestions?

I recently found out that Turmeric is also good to use topically for Rosacea flare ups. I don't know that it will cure it, but I have used it to calm my Rosacea down when it gets worse. It reduced the swelling & the redness. I've also heard it helps with weight loss. Maybe that's because it helps the gallbladder work more efficiently. It has also been used after gallbladder surgery to aid in healing.

Excellent artilce. Who is the author ? ps. You said: "cholesterol is essential for life, and the role which cholesterol plays in heart disease is misunderstood. According to recent research at Harvard, the primary causes of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries which leads to heart disease) are inflammation, lesions, and plaque in the arteries caused by *SUGAR* which causes insulin to be released. Insulin causes lesions in the endothelium of the arteries that become clogged with cholesterol. So, cholesterol gets the blame, but the real culprit is sugar. Turmeric can help fight inflammation in the body (and arteries), and this subsequently helps prevent heart disease."
Is "hardening of the arteries" the same thing as "the arteries becoming blocked with cholesterol" ? If not then cholesterol may in fact be (at least somewhat) to blame as thought. I tend to agree with you though, but just wondered as I read this ?
What I am trying to say is : Is sugar responsible for artery hardening AND cholestrol ? Seems a bit hard to believe – not that I believe what the mainstream says about cholesterol all these decades, but I think sugar is just one aspect to inflamation of the arteries. Inflamation is caused by many other diet related problems as well.
Ever heard of the new breakthrough anti-inflamaory drug dervied from tobacco called Anatabloc if memory serves me correct. Google it, it's quite interesting !
Apparently if we can control inflamation we can live decades longer and healthier (ultimate anti-aging). Inflamation is the bodies own over-reaction to infections which can be harmful in itself, but sometimes necessary to save your life despite it's long term side effects – ageing, etc.
I have heard you on C2C, and enjoy every time you come on. I have never heard though how much Turmeric one should be taking. how much is to much. I take around 1500 mg

What Good Interaction Design Process Looks Like
It's easy to take for granted some of the elegant interactions we take advantage of each day. This is a thoughtful post by the designer and developer of Unread, an RSS app that demonstrates the rigor that goes into a well made design.My Mac History
Today marks 30 years since the first Mac went on the market. The Mac has been a significant tool in my life, a major part of my education, hobbies, and career. I wanted to share a little history of my Mac use.
Brainwriting Workshop
Today at our UX Community of Practice meeting, I led a workshop on brainwriting. Brainwriting is a UX tool for idea generation where ideas are written on paper, then passed to another person to build upon or to draw inspiration from. Similar to brainstorming, it allows participants to evolve ideas by harnessing the power of interaction. Here's a brief overview of what was discussed and what I learned from the group.
Wildcat Testing: How UX and A/B Testing is Similar to Drilling for Oil

Ethic WINGStand iPad and iPhone Stand for Bluetooth Keyboard
Short after getting my iPad Mini, I wanted a way to use my Bluetooth Keyboard and have it support my iPad when I type on my lap. I stumbled upon this WINGStand and decided to purchase it. The WINGStand is a small, lightweight stand that attaches to the back of the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard. This is certainly a niche stand, but it's a niche that I fit in.
Browser and OS (Devices) Support Strategy for Mormon.org
Like many websites today, Mormon.org was experience some pain with supporting a large number of devices. In the heat of a release, we didn't know whether to spend time fixing a bug for Android 2.3 or leave it. We had no strategy for how to support different browsers and OS's. Although Mormon.org is somewhat responsive, we learned it's still costly to test and support a large number of devices. I was asked to make a recommendation for a long term device support strategy.

Jay W. Marks, MD
Jay W. Marks, MDJay W. Marks, MD, is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist. He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. PRESCRIPTION: Yes GENERIC AVAILABLE: No PREPARATIONS: Advair Diskus is an oral inhalation powder available in three different forms containing the same amount of salmeterol, 50 mcg, but differing in the amount of fluticasone propionate. 100/50 provides 100 mcg of fluticasone propionate, 250/50 provides 250 mcg of fluticasone propionate, and 500/50 contains 500 mcg of fluticasone propionate per inspiration. Advair HFA is an oral aerosol containing 21 mcg of salmeterol combined with 45, 115, or 230 mcg fluticasone. STORAGE: Advair should be stored at room temperature, 68 F to 77 F (20 C to 25 C). It should be kept away from heat or flames and should not be punctured; it should not be frozen or placed in direct sunlight. PRESCRIBED FOR: Advair Diskus is used for the treatment of asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) associated with chronic bronchitis. Its action starts within 30 to 60 minutes and can last more than 12 hours. Advair Diskus is generally not needed in patients whose asthma can be controlled easily with infrequent administration of short acting inhalers. Advair HFA is used for treating asthma in individuals 12 years old or older. Advair Diskus or HFA should not be used to treat acute episodes of asthma or COPD. DOSING: The recommended Advair Diskus regimen for asthma in individuals 12 years and older is one inhalation twice daily (morning and evening) approximately 12 hours apart. The lowest effective strength should be used and the maximum dose is 500/50 mcg twice daily. For children 4 to 11 years old the recommended treatment is one inhalation of 100/50 mcg twice daily. The recommended regimen of Advair Diskus for COPD is one inhalation of 250/50 mcg twice daily. Higher doses are not more effective. The recommended dose for Advair HFA is 2 inhalations twice daily. The lowest effective dose should be used. The Diskus device is held in one hand with the thumb of the other hand placed on the thumb-grip. The thumb is then pulled away as far as the device allows until the mouthpiece seems to click into position. With the Diskus then held horizontally and with the mouthpiece towards the patient, the lever is then slid away as far as it can go until it clicks. The patient breathes out as far as comfortable, then placing his mouth to the mouthpiece, breathes in quickly and deeply and holds his breath for about ten seconds. The patient then washes his or her mouth without swallowing after inhalation. DRUG INTERACTIONS: Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (for example, tranylcypromine) and tricyclic antidepressants (for example, amitriptyline [Endep]) may increase the effect of salmeterol on the heart and blood pressure. Since Advair contains salmeterol, it should not be used with or within two weeks of discontinuing monoamine oxidase inhibitors or tricyclic antidepressants.

looks like some sort of grass or palm to me. inherited this plant at work. was about to die in someone else's office so they gave it to me. no clue what it is. was near death so i repotted in some well draining soil. leaves are variegated. it constantly looks near death but is always poking up a nice new green leaf from the center but they quickly turn brown and dry. sharpie in pic for a size reference. |

Sorry, but I believe that IS dead, I think it WAS a corn plant (some kind of Dracena?). |
- Posted by Dzitmoidonc none (My Page) on Wed, May 16, 12 at 14:54
I too think it may be dead, a dead Dracaena reflexa perhaps, but the life in the stem continues to push out a small leaf, and because the rest of the stem is dead, the new leaf has no chance. Strip the dead leaves off the stem and see if there is a change in the stem with respect to brown and shriveling and green and succulent. If you find some green succulent stem, cut the dead part off and try to root the rest in water. |
it has been doing this since i got it months ago. it just keeps pushing out new leaves. only repotted it a few weeks ago. when i did i got rid of all the dead stems |
- Posted by pirate_girl Zone7 NYC (My Page) on Wed, May 16, 12 at 20:42
Apparently not. Sorry, but I still say it's dead. |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (email@example.com) on Fri, May 18, 12 at 16:07
Looks like Dracaena Sanderiana. Carefully bend the trunk. If it's dry/brittle, it's dead, if it bends w/o breaking, there's still life. One thing about 'some' Dracaenas, they sometimes send up two or three new shoots. Not attached to mom's trunk...they can sprout anywhere in the pot. For now, I'd remove dead leaves. BTW, what size is the pot? It looks way too large for two small plants. Good luck, Toni |

Beasiswa PhD by Research Bidang Ekonomi di Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (CEES), University of Oslo, Norwegia
Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (CEES)
PhD Research Fellow position in Economics, Ref. no. 2012/1021
The PhD fellow will be part of the project "Strengthening the adaptive capacity of institutions in fisheries" funded by The Norwegian Research Council as part of the Programme "Climate Change and its impacts on Norway"(NORKLIMA).
The position is available from August 15th for a period of 3 years.
Project description
The successful candidate will work in a research team that analyzes the feedbacks between climatic, social and ecological forces with the aim to strengthen the adaptive capacity of institutions that govern marine ecosystems, focusing on the Barents Sea ecosystem. Typical issues to be studied are (i) how informal institutions, such as social norms and cultural identity, influence behavior of individual fishermen, (ii) how formal institutions, such as government regulatory agencies, respond to environmental change and its effect on resource users, (iii) how biological complexity, such as the risk of a resource collapse induced by climate change, should be reflected in management plans.
This project will be carried out in collaboration with the Fisheries Centre of the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada; the Stockholm Resilience Centre, University of Stockholm, Sweden; MARICE, Reykjavik University, Iceland; Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada, and the University of Tromsø, Norway. Thus, this project combines global insights from fisheries around the world with valuable Nordic expertise to meet challenges posed by a changing climate.
The applicant has the possibility to visit the Fisheries Centre of the University of British Columbia for a period of 6 months to work with leading experts on global and regional effects of climate change on marine biodiversity and fisheries. The Centre has a unique database comprising distribution maps, as well as ecosystem and catch data for more than 1,000 species. Additional shorter stays abroad with other partners to acquire complementary knowledge are also possible.
We search for a candidate with an academic background in economics or econometrics who has a completed MSc degree (or equivalent) of excellent quality. Candidates must have strong quantitative skills and rigorous training in statistics or econometrics. Experience with STATA or other statistics software is a prerequisite. Further assets are strong analytical skills in the field of microeconomics, especially game theory, or familiarity with computational methods. Prior experience with environmental and resource economics or fisheries is an advantage, but we also welcome applicants from other economic fields. The applicant should have a keen interest to work in an interdisciplinary environment with scientists from different disciplines.
We also emphasize that we are looking for a candidate with good communication skills across different disciplines and cultural backgrounds, as well as good collaborative and organizational skills. A good command of English is required, because this is the working language at our institute.

The new Xigmatek XAF Series of
120mm system
fans continues the company's innovative design focus to provide
features and performance while maintaining excellent value to the end
user. The
innovative "waveform" shape of the fan blades on the XAF series aren't
just for
show and provide real performance benefits. The XAF series also
features a very
high quality copper bearing system which extends the service life of
the fan
50% over that of fans using regular ball or sleeve bearings.
Xigmatek XAF-F1252
A New Wave in Fan Design
The unique "waveform" fan blade shape of the XAF series fans were specifically designed to maximize airflow per revolution. The "waveform" shape, along with the minimized central hub, increases the surface area of each fan blade over traditional designs and delivers up to 15%-20% more CFM at comparable RPMs over normal fan designs. Furthermore, unlike traditional fans which act like an air scoop, the irregularly shaped wave of air that forms in front of the "waveform" blade helps to reduce the collection of dust on the fan blade itself.
• Innovative
"waveform" fan blade designed for performance – The unique shape of the
XAF series fan blades and the minimally sized central hub dramatically
increases blade surface area and generates 15%-20% more CFM at
comparable RPMs to traditional fans. More airflow equals better cooling
• Dramatically reduces dust collection – Traditional curved fan designs
act like air scoops and over time they collect dust over the entire
blade which increases air resistance and decreases performance. The
unique "waveform" fan blade of the XAF series generates an irregularly
shaped pressure wave in front of the fan blade which helps to reduce
dust collection.
• High quality copper bearing for long life – The bearing is the heart
of a fan system. Xigmatek's use of superior grade copper materials for
the bearing system ensures up to 50% longer service life than regular
ball or sleeve bearing designs. Greater reliability gives you peace of
mind for your PC system.
• "Waveform"
blade produces irregular air pressure wave at the front of the blade
helping to reduce dust collection
• High quality,
long life copper bearings designed to extend service life up to 50%
over standard ball or sleeve bearing designs – MTBF rated at 150,000
• Available in
3-pin (non-PWM) or 4-pin (PWM) versions
• Comes in a
variety of colors and with or without white LED

Football: Brickies earn share of NCC title
By Tom WYatt Post-Tribune correspondent October 12, 2012 11:40PM
Updated: November 14, 2012 3:12PM
HOBART — Anthony Burgos set the tone on the first play of the game. The Hobart senior returned the opening kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown, the first of two touchdown returns for Burgos and the first of many scores on the night for the Brickies as they rolled to a 50-7 victory over Highland on Friday at the Brickyard.
Hobart closed out the regular season by earning a share of the Northwest Crossroads Conference championship with the win, tying with Andrean and Kankakee Valley. It's the Brickies' first conference title since sharing the NCC crown in 2007 with Lowell.
"It's good for the kids," Hobart coach Ryan Turley said. "It's a goal to bring championships of all kinds back to the program. Now the real season begins."
Turley was referring to a rematch with Kankakee Valley next Friday in a Class 4A Sectional 10 opener. The Kougars beat Hobart 27-21 in Week 3.
Burgos added a dazzling 67-yard punt return for a touchdown midway through the second quarter to put the Brickies ahead 33-0.
"It's a big boost and gets the crowd going," Burgos said. "I just had great blockers."
At that point, Hobart (7-2, 5-1 NCC) actually had just one first down to go along with those 33 points. The Brickies' special teams and defense did most of the work early. Defensive lineman Nicholas Bokun stepped in front of a pass and returned it 23 yards for a Hobart score, and then linebacker Jarrett Colvin forced a fumble in the end zone for a safety.
"We had some concerns with the way we started games early in the year," Turley said. "We've changed some things up, and tonight we came out strong."
La'Kice Brooks rushed for 152 yards and a touchdown for Highland (1-8, 0-6 NCC).

Walmart to Host Second U.S. Manufacturing Summit
BENTONVILLE, Ark.-Walmart will hold a second summit on U.S. manufacturing on Aug. 14-15 in Denver. In January 2013, the retailer said its goal is to purchase $50 billion more of U.S.-made products over the next decade.

More and more, the Northwest is adopting a sustainable attitude toward fresh produce packaging.
"The whole industry has changed," said Ron Haas, owner of R&R Brokerage Inc., Portland, Ore. "Everyone is trying to be as green as possible. The days of the wax cartons are gone. Purveyors that sell institutional, they want it to be recyclable or biodegradable."
Part of the trend is pushed by preference, while some of it is mandated. For instance, Portland has banned Styrofoam containers.
United Salad Co., Portland, is among the region's leaders in sustainable packaging. The company is Food Alliance-certified for sustainability in packaging, said Ernie Spada Jr., vice president and owner.
"We've received an award every year from the city of Portland for recycling," Spada said. "It's at the forefront of our thought process."
United Salad has transitioned to recycled paper for some of its tomato packaging, he said. "We're pushing our suppliers for recyclable, green packaging. Our vendors know they need to have it."
Spada said United Salad's customer base is not pushing incredibly hard on his company for more sustainable packaging than is already offered.
"They know we're already doing all we can," he said, adding that he expects more innovations in the next year on sustainable packaging.
Organically Grown Co-op, Eugene, Ore., has been encouraging suppliers to look into sustainable and recyclable packaging, said senior executive Tom Lively.
A Seattle-area grower that Organically Grown works with is thinking about using a palm-fiber clamshell with cellulose packaging cap for blueberries, Lively said.
"That would be 100 percent biodegradable pack," he said. "It's really interesting to try to move people in that direction, at the same time making sure retail is ready to go with it."
New Seasons Markets, a Portland chain that Organically Grown works with, is testing bulk produce in returnable plastic containers, he said.
"The process is still a little clumsy because there's not an RPC washing facility in the Northwest," he said. "They're a homegrown chain and their push is local, local, local, so sending RPCs outside the area to wash is counter to that idea."
Botsford & Goodfellow Inc., Clackamas, Ore., has supplied sweet corn in RPCs to some of the region's major chains, said Chuck Botsford, president.
"Another major retailer has requested us to look at RPCs," Botsford said. "Of course Wal-Mart's use of RPCs is well-known."
When selling packaged produce, Seattle-based PCC Natural Markets puts an emphasis on using sustainable or recyclable packaging, said Joe Hardiman, produce merchandiser.

My friends say that I look peaceful. I am healthy. For a long time I wasn't doing such a good job with that. I took on a schedule that is not realistically sustainable and didn't allow for taking care of myself. Rather than stopping to recalibrate, I kept running until I was depleted and made bad choices about how to conceal the exhaustion. I was aware of the chaos and finally chose different things.
I did work that allows for being still, making a home, loving someone, learning new things, growing as a creative person and finally growing into myself."

''Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle''
HER CHARACTER Liu reprises the role of Alex Munday, the Angel whose skills include gymnastics, chess, archery, computer hacking, and neurosurgery -- but, alas, not baking.
HER QUALIFICATIONS Besides proving her mettle in 2000's ''Charlie's Angels,'' Liu showed off her whip-cracking, take-charge style as an assassin in ''Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever'' and a dominatrix in ''Payback.'' Real-life Liu skills include martial arts (knife-and-stick-fighting), fluency in Mandarin, painting, photography, and accordion playing.
FUN FACT Asked which other TV heroes she'd like to bring to the big screen, Liu told EW, ''I always admired Wonder Woman and the Incredible Hulk -- but I don't know if I'd be a very convincing Hulk.''
WHAT'S NEXT She's part of the ensemble of assassins in Quentin Tarantino's long-awaited martial arts flick ''Kill Bill,'' due in October; she boasts that it's so violent it'll make viewers throw up.

2012 Gardeners Planting Calendar – Zone 8
The Gardeners Planting Calendar is back and better than ever for 2012 with a simplified design for easier use. The number of pages has also been reduced in order to walk-the-walk and not just talk-the-talk of caring for the environment. On each month is ample space for writing and doodling garden plans and tasks.
The Gardening year begins in March for many and so does this calendar begin. Colors coordinate from number to plant listing for what is optimally planted using Jon Jeavons Bio-intensive recommendations. Bio-intensive growing uses both the phases of the moon and the amount of time each seed takes to germinate. Plants printed in Orange are best planted on Orange colored days, with Green colored days best for those plants printed in Green.
At the back of the calendar are pages to keep track of your planting: plant, variety, date planted, yield, etc. The back cover features a climate zone map from the Arbor Day Foundation and a place for you to keep track of your favourite seed company's information and your customer number to speed the ordering process.
The Gardener's Planting Calendar is made by a gardener for gardeners to allow for more time in the garden doing what you love!

There are two strategies public agencies may use to ensure private contractors perform as desired. The first is to focus on inputs and include in the contract specifications how a job is to be performed and with what inputs. The second strategy is to focus on outcomes. Performance-based contracting is a contracting system that concentrates on intended results and incorporates incentives for the contractor to achieve them.
This report surveys contracting practices in Arizona on the state and local level. Its purpose is to determine the extent to which performance-based contracting is used by governments in Arizona for services contracted out to the private sector. The report looks at nine different services ranging from those, like solid waste collection, which have clear performance goals to "soft" services, such as mental health care and welfare, where performance is more difficult to measure.

Workers Want CEO Back Picket for Weeks
BOSTON, MA (CBS2/FOX28) - Shelves are bare in Market Basket grocery stores.
Thousands of employees at market basket have been protesting for weeks - they refuse to work and delivery drivers refuse to bring food to the stores.
And a lot of it boils down to an interesting family feud.
In the 1950's the Demoulas's brothers owned a store in Lowell Massachusetts; they ended up passing it down to their two sons Arthur T. and Arthur S. who made a successful chain out of it.
In the 90's Arthur T.'s father was found guilty of stealing profits from his brother which initiated a family war.
Despite his father's loss, in 2008, Arthur T. was voted president of the company.
But back in June, the board, backed by Arthur S. managed to oust Arthur T.
Problem was, the employees loved him.
They say he paid them good money, gave them benefits and cared about them saying he even knew their names.
Now, they say they're not being treated well.
Employees say the board wants more profit so they're going to cut wages and hike up prices.
They say even though they haven't been working for weeks, they're standing their ground because it's the right thing to do.
Now, a total of 37 Massachusetts lawmakers have called for a boycott of the chain until Arthur T. is reinstated.
As the fight drags on, analysts say the future of the company, which employs about 25 thousand people, is uncertain.

"The case law cited [by the complainant] refers to the situation of a staff member who, failing any indication to the contrary, can rely on the continuation of his contractual relations (either not terminated or renewed), since according to the rules of good faith the Organization should warn the staff member if it considers his performance unsatisfactory in order to give him a chance to improve. The situation is different if an organisation [...] restricts the number of fixed term contracts a staff member may be given and lays down specific conditions for the award of an indefinite contract. In this case, the staff member cannot sit back and wait for his contract to be turned into an indefinite contract, since he will be expected to meet stricter requirements. Of course, the Organization is not on that account relieved of its duty of care towards the staff member, and, in accordance with the rules of good faith, it must warn him either if it is convinced that he is simply incapable of performing the duties attached to an indefinite contract, or if it believes that, in order to perform them the staff member must improve the quality of his work still further. This is an obligation the Organization must fulfil particularly in the context of periodic performance appraisals."

"[T]he publication of the internal invitation for candidature presuppose[s] that the procedure for selecting candidates [...] be conducted in compliance with the general principles recalled in the case law and with rules established prior to the invitation for candidature and known to the candidates, such rules being designed to guarantee objectivity and transparency in order to ensure that all candidates stand the same chances."

"[T]he delay of some 15 months between the selection of the successful candidate and the notification to the complainant thereof was unreasonably long. The Agency's argument to the effect that the complainant was implicitly aware of his non-selection because he knew that someone else had been placed on the post is not acceptable. It had the duty to inform the complainant in a timely manner of his non-appointment. The Agency has failed in its obligation to deal with the complainant in good faith and, while such failure can in no way affect the validity of the selection process itself, it does entitle the complainant to a nominal award of moral damages which the Tribunal fixes at 500 euros."

"A decision to place a senior officer on leave with or without pay pending a review of his or her performance is one that inevitably affects that person's dignity and good name and, moreover, it is one that will almost certainly carry adverse consequences for his or her career. Where, as here, the decision is unlawful, the person concerned is entitled to compensation. However, the measure of compensation may vary according to whether, on the one hand, the decision might otherwise properly have been taken in the circumstances or, on the other, whether it appears to have been taken for an improper purpose."

It extends to bar proceedings on an issue that must necessarily have been determined in the earlier proceeding even if that precise issue was not then in dispute. In such a case, the question whether res judicata applies will ordinarily be answered by ascertaining whether one or other of the parties seeks to challenge or controvert some aspect of the actual decision reached in the earlier case."

The complainant wants to be granted her salary increment to step X retroactively. "The particular circumstances upon which the ITU relies to argue that the complainant should not be granted her step X increment are that the unsatisfactory nature of her services had already been documented prior to the report signed on 3 May 2002 and that she did not cooperate with the establishment of her periodic appraisals. It may at once be noted that the appraisal for the relevant period was not made in May 2002, but in November of that year. Further, and given the complainant's absence on sick leave at various times during the relevant appraisal periods, it is difficult to infer lack of cooperation on her part. However, and more to the point, the matters upon which the Union relies fall far short of establishing that it made a genuine effort to comply with its own procedures, and do not show that the complainant frustrated or sabotaged any such effort. That being so [...], those considerations cannot defeat the complainant's entitlement to her step X increment retroactively. The treatment of the complainant by the ITU is [...] unacceptable."

The Commission adopted a directive stipulating that staff members appointed to the Professional and higher categories and internationally recruited staff should not, except in certain limited exceptions, remain in service for more than seven years. "A change in the nature of the discretion to be exercised in determining whether to grant future rights by the extension or renewal of a contract cannot be said to effect a change in an existing legal interest, much less in an existing legal right or existing legal status. Accordingly, the seven year policy embodied in [the] directive [...] is not retroactive even if the seven year period is computed from a time prior to the proclamation of that policy."

"There are two aspects to the rule against retroactivity. The first is a rule of interpretation which requires that a provision not be construed as having retroactive effect unless that is clearly intended. The second is a substantive rule of international civil service law which, as explained in Judgment 1589, prevents a retroactive change in the legal status of staff save in limited circumstances [...]. However, to state the rule in this way is not to expose what is meant by 'retroactive'. In general terms, a provision is retroactive if it effects some change in existing legal status, rights, liabilities or interests from a date prior to its proclamation, but not if it merely affects the procedures to be observed in the future with respect to such status, rights, liabilities or interests."

The post in respect of which the complainant was receiving a special post allowance was transferred but he has continued to perform the duties of the post. The Director-General has taken the view that transfer was equivalent to the abolition of the post and the allowance was terminated. The relevant Manual provision "does prohibit payment of a special post allowance when a post has been abolished. However, it does not and cannot relieve an employer of its duty to ensure proper remuneration for extra duties and responsibilities discharged by an employee over and above those of the substantive post which he or she holds."

The post in respect of which the complainant was receiving a special post allowance was transferred but he has continued to perform the duties of the post. The Director-General has taken the view that transfer was equivalent to the abolition of the post and the allowance was terminated. "The principle of equal pay for work of equal value requires that, until a proper evaluation of the work performed by the complainant is carried out, he should be remunerated at a rate equivalent to that which he would have received by way of special post allowance for so long as he continues to perform all of the duties and responsibilities of the abolished post."

"It is the duty of international organisations to ensure that they abide by the principle of equality and, particularly, that they comply with its requirement that there be equal pay for work of equal value.

As a general rule, damages for breach of contract, including wrongful termination of a contract of employment, are confined to the amount necessary to put the injured party in the position he or she would have enjoyed if the contract had been performed. Thus, ordinarily, in the case of wrongful termination, an employee is entitled to material damages consisting of salary and entitlements up to the date on which the contract would normally have expired. In this case "the Appeals Committee found that 'the [complainant's] dignity had been harmed by the administrative procedure leading to termination and that some redress for the material and moral injury he suffered [was] warranted' [...]. Notwithstanding that finding, the Committee only recommended payment of an amount equivalent to salary and allowances until the end of the complainant's fixed-term contract. As already explained, he was entitled to that amount for material damage. Thus, the effect of the recommendation of the Appeals Committee was to deny the complainant compensation for moral injury notwithstanding its finding that his dignity had been harmed. That was an error of law and, as the Director-General's decision was based on the recommendations of the Appeals Committee, it necessarily involves the same error of law."

"There can be no doubt of the right of an international organisation to set obligatory rules for the conduct of its staff governing various aspects of their relations with their employer, and that this right includes the right to set reasonable limitation periods during which claims against the employer must be asserted. However, such rules must be published or otherwise made known to all the members of staff concerned in a way which can leave absolutely no doubt as to the nature and reach of the rule, and no doubt that it has been brought to the attention of all those to whom it applies. Even if the [Organization] had succeeded in showing that the tax reimbursement instructions had been given to the staff individually, which it has signally failed to do, it would also have to have shown that all others in like case had been similarly advised. Rules limiting the right to exercise a fundamental condition of employment applicable to all international civil servants are only permissible if they, too, are applicable to all."

Case of an official who served the Organization for 16 years and always gave satisfaction, whose post was abolished. The Organization states "that although the complainant was entitled to apply for posts which fell vacant after his appointment had been terminated, he did not do so. [T]he Tribunal considers that it was up to [the Organization] to make proposals to the complainant and to give some preference to his application."

"While there is no doubt whatever that the Organisation owes a duty of good faith to its staff - '[r]elations between an organisation and its staff must be governed by good faith' (see Judgment 2116) - bad faith must be proved and is never presumed. [...] Although to act in bad faith is always to mismanage, the reverse is not the case and honest mistakes or even sheer stupidity will not, without more, be enough. Bad faith requires an element of malice, ill will, improper motive, fraud or similar dishonest purpose."

Even if "the Member States of the [Organisation] are all signatories to the European Convention on Human Rights, the Organisation [...] as such is not a member of the Council of Europe and is not bound by the Convention in the same way as signatory states. Nevertheless, the general principles enshrined in the Convention, particularly the principles of non-discrimination and the protection of property rights, are part of human rights, which, [...] in compliance with the Tribunal's case law, apply to relations with staff."

In the present case, the complainant was denied an essential safeguard owing to the individual consultation of the Joint Advisory Committee members by the Director of [the Human Resources Management Department] and the disregard for the procedure established in the Staff Rules."

"The integrity of the internal appellate process is of fundamental importance to the proper functioning of the international civil service. Like the process before the Tribunal itself, it must be free of any taint of fraud or abuse of power. If mere delay in the completion of an internal appeal is enough to vitiate the process (see Judgments 2072 and 2197), how much more will that be the case where the process is corrupted at its very source by an attempt to keep staff members from exercising their legal rights. The Tribunal asserts unhesitatingly that intimidation or threats of reprisal in such circumstances will be severely sanctioned. Indeed, there is a positive obligation on the part of the administration of every international organisation to assist staff in the exercise of their recourse and to place no obstacle in their way."

"As the titular head of the very administration whose conduct is being called into question, the President of the Office must be scrupulous in the performance of his function as final decision-maker in internal appeals. It is his duty not only to be fair and objective; his conduct must also make it manifest that he has been so. It is not enough to state, as the President appears to do in the impugned decision, that he thinks the administration has put forward the better case. That is not a reason but a conclusion. The internal appellate process is designed and intended to provide fair, satisfactory and rapid resolution of staff grievances in international organisations."

"An application for execution presupposes that the complainant is able to challenge an act or an omission by the organisation that employs him which is subsequent to the judgment concerned and contrary to the terms of the ruling. [T]he complainant [...] merely reiterates pleas and facts which preceded the judgments [of which he seeks execution], which are now res judicata and cannot be challenged."

"The confidential nature of medical information concerning the state of health of staff members constitutes a key element of their right to privacy. It is no doubt both necessary and legitimate for an international organisation, like any employer, to investigate requests for sick leave, to examine medical certificates and to have the health of its staff members checked by appropriate means. Such information should be gathered and processed on a fully confidential basis, however, and should never be communicated to third parties without the explicit consent of the person concerned. [...] The fact that the members of the Appeals Committee are bound by an obligation of confidentiality does not mean that information covered by medical secrecy can be disclosed to them without the consent of the persons concerned."

The complainant challenges a disciplinary measure of dismissal for misconduct based on the following three charges: (1) external commercial activities and misrepresentation, (2) disloyalty, and (3) insubordination. In the challenged decision, the Director-General refused to follow the Appeals Committee's recommendation to the effect that the three charges be dismissed and confirmed the dismissal, dealing in detail with the first charge. Although the Tribunal acknowledges that the evidence justifies the Director-General's position, it sets aside the impugned decision because "the Director-General entirely failed to give any reason whatsoever for disagreeing with the Committee's recommendations respecting the second and third charges". The Tribunal adds that "it is not for [...] itself [to] examine the evidence to find justification for the unmotivated decision of the Director-General. [...] Nor should it condone the organization's failure to bring the internal appeal process to a timely and proper conclusion effectively depriving the complainant of both his remedy and his employment for over three years. Accordingly, it will quash the penalty on the first charge only and refer the matter back to the Director-General for a new decision on the penalty after giving the complainant full opportunity to make representations."

This post explains how to create a webpage on Moodle that contains pictures, videos and hyperlinks to websites and files.
Turn this: Into this:
Many Moodle courses are simply lists of uploaded files. By creating a page you can explain content and links rather than relying on students to understand the files by the filename alone.
This post assumes that you know about turn editing on, how to add resources to a course and familiarity with settings pages.
Moodle Page resource
The first thing to do is add a page resource to your course. This will create a link in the course list which opens a webpage.
Turn editing on, click add an activity or resource and choose page resource.
The settings screen is very simple. Add a name (which will be the name of the link), and give an optional description.
The page is written in the page content area.
Creating links
Adding a link to a piece of text is easy. You can link to websites or files.
Creating a website link:
1 Highlight some text
2 Click the link icon
3 The insert edit link box will appear
4 To add a website link type the URL into the Link URL box. For example to make a link to the BBC website enter http://www.bbc.co.uk into the Link URL box.
5 Click insert and the link has now been created
To add a link to a file
1 Follow steps 1,2,3 above.
2 When the insert edit URL box appears, click the browse button (red highlight below):
3 This opens the Moodle file picker. Choose the file to link to, and insert it.
4 The text link has now been created.
Adding a picture
There are two ways of adding a picture, by using a URL of a picture on the internet, or upload a picture to the Moodle server. Both are explained below.
First, in the editor box put the cursor to the position on the page where you want to add the picture
Click the insert image icon:
To get the image dialog box:
You can insert an image from a URL or upload an image.
Insert image from URL
In the insert / edit image box, enter the URL of the picture in the Image URL box:
This will preview the image. If you're happy with it click Insert.
Upload a picture
If you want to upload a picture from your PC then open the Insert Image box and click Find or upload an image.
This opens up the file picker where you can upload a file or browse recent files. Upload and select the file you want to use and click insert.
This will display the image in the editor.
If the image is too big click the image to select it and use the drag handles to resize it
Manipulating the picture – resize and alignment
The image is inserted into the page. However we need to align it with the text.
Aligning an image with text
Right click on the image and choose Insert edit image
Choose the left alignment to place the picture on the left, or right to put the picture on the right.
The image is now left aligned with text on the right.
Adding Video
Adding video is a similar process to adding an image. Use the add a media button which is next to the add a picture button:
Click on "Find or upload a sound, video or applet" button, and you will see the file picker.
Upload the file (.flv flash video is guaranteed to work in Moodle, other file types might not work. We have another post following soon about media types).
The video will be displayed as a blue link with the file name.
When you click save then the video preview will appear:
Here is the final page:

Human Evolution and the Environment of Evolutionary Adaptedness
"Nothing in biology makes sense except for in the light of evolution." This famous quote from Theodosius Dobzhansky illustrates my feelings towards the utility of evolution for understanding children and youth. Certainly, genes without environment are nothing. But the environment must act on a child through the expression of that child's genes. Genes that were shaped by evolution.
But that shaping happened thousands, if not millions, of years ago. Evolution acts to solve today's problems tomorrow. For example, our inherited sweet/fat/salty cravings were presumably of great help to our ancestors, even if they are no longer very helpful in modern Western society. So one of my keen interests is trying to better understand the past conditions that led to our current genes. These past conditions, that include evolutionary pressures from many different times and locations, are generally summarized under the umbrella of the Environment of Evolutionary Adaptedness, or EEA. If we can better understand the EEA, we can better understand the reasons why our mind/genes work the way that they do.
I am currently work on two projects regarding the EEA and childhood. The first has to do with infant and child mortality. In a survey of dozens of hunter-gatherer and historical cultures, there is a remarkable consistency in the infant and child mortality rates. Roughly 1/4 of all infants and HALF of all children died in the past! This is a tremendously important factor for anyone interested in the evolution of our species. From my perspective, these high levels of mortality mean that it really matters for children to be adapted to childhood. In other words, children aren't just incomplete adults- they are adapted to thriving and surviving each of the stages of childhood that they must pass through. This idea is largely the foundation of evolutionary developmental psychology, where the prevailing sentiment is that children are adapted to being children- youth is not wasted on the young!
The second project has to do with breastfeeding. What struck me about human breastfeeding is that it is not intuitive. Indeed, it can be extremely difficult for some women to succeed at with their infant. This is in part due to the fact that the physical design of the human breast appears to require a more complicated sucking action than other mammalian breasts. But it's also due to the fact that the correct technique for feeding an infant is not instinctive for mothers. It has to be learned, or taught. What does this tell us about the human EEA? To me, it very strongly suggests that since breastfeeding is absolutely vital for infant survival (see previous point!), mothers must have had ample, reliable opportunities to learn and/or be taught the correct way to breastfeed their infant. This means that women must have lived in stable, cooperative groups for most, if not all, of our evolutionary history.

The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner and potential first round pick in this year's upcoming draft, Manziel has the skills and name recognition to become a marketing sensation. Nike wasn't the only big brand retailer who saw Manziel's marketing potential as Under Armour, New Balance, and adidas all made offers to secure his rights.
Nobody really knows what Manziel will equate to in the NFL but his brand recognition carries well beyond even the casual football fan no Nike was willing to take a chance.

Ratonhnhaké:ton's goal of stopping King Washington once and for all will take him up to Boston for an epic team-up. He'll also gain the ability to turn into an eagle, letting him fly swiftly across short distances and perform ridiculous stealth kills. FYI, we'll be screaming this a lot whenever we use the power.

Besides writing books, my next favorite thing to do is to visit with students and teachers at their schools. But please don't invite me if you want a dry, boring speaker. I like to get students excited about reading, and the characters I've written about. So I spend a lot of time talking to them while they are coming into a room or auditorium. Once I'm on stage—watch out—I think I can act, so my characters come to life when I read. I also think I can sing—which my daughter tells me is absolutely not true. But no need to worry, I won't entertain you with a song. I don't think.
I am here. I am there. Sometimes I feel like I'm everywhere. But if you'd like me to come to your school, conference or place of business, check my schedule and lets see if we can work something out. Thanks.

Boys Basketball: T.F. South clips Oak Forest
By Bill Harrison For Sun-Times Media February 18, 2014 9:12PM
Updated: March 20, 2014 6:36AM
It hasn't been accomplished at T.F. South since 1963.
That "it" is winning at least a share of a conference title in boys basketball.
Tuesday night in Lansing, the Rebels moved one step closer to making history with a 62-53 South Suburban Blue win over Oak Forest (18-5, 8-3), which was tied for second with the Rebels (12-11, 9-2) entering the contest.
League-leading Hillcrest has one loss, and if it wins out, combined with a win Friday by the Rebels over Lemont, the two teams will play for the conference title Feb. 28.
"I think it's a tremendous opportunity," T.F. South coach John O'Rourke said. "I think our guys are looking forward to this. They played a complete game (Feb. 11) against T.F. North and did the same (Tuesday). We are playing good team basketball."
Against Oak Forest, Donald Stone led the way for South with 18 points, including one flashy reverse dunk late in the fourth quarter. Jamahre Baker had 13 points in a reserve role. Normally a starter Baker, came off the bench after of a college visit Monday forced him to miss practice. Ronald Ryan added 10 points, including two three-pointers.
Ka-Ton Mays had four of his eight points late in the fourth with two of the Rebels' three dunks.
"We can have a little fun on the court but we have to stay focused because we have a goal to attend to," Stone said. "We finally beat (Oak Forest) and now we (still) have a chance at the conference championship."
The Bengals went ahead 28-27 with 1:13 left in the second quarter on a basket by Jason Roland (10 points). They increased that lead to 33-27 in the third on a three by Tom Shute (10 points) and a jumper by David Gray (10). Kyle Flanagan led the Bengals with 16 points.
Three-pointers by Ryan and Baker sparked a 10-0 run for a 37-33 lead and the Rebels never would look back. The Bengals got no closer than four points in the final quarter.
"Our guys are determined. They are competitors," O'Rourke said. "They are showing a ton of heart and they are playing team basketball and not getting rattled."
