Pac-10 Preview | Oregon expects a smooth handoff to new coach Chip Kelly
Mike Bellotti's retirement as head coach opened the door for Kelly, who was ultrasuccessful as coordinator of the Ducks' spread offense
Seattle Times college football reporter
Oregon Ducks

Pac-10 previews
EUGENE, Ore. — Chip Kelly got the go-ahead to succeed Mike Bellotti as Oregon football coach only in mid-March, so he suddenly found himself with a problem on his hands: Whom could he get on short notice to assume Kelly's job as quarterbacks coach for spring practice?
"One question," Kelly said to his target, a coaching veteran who was on the phone at the airport in Salt Lake City, returning from a spring vacation to Italy. "Would you coach the quarterbacks?"
So Bellotti extended his day on the Oregon staff by a month, easing out of his role as dean of Pac-10 football coaches by switching roles with Kelly.
And now Kelly might be inclined to pose another question to Bellotti, Oregon's fledging athletic director: Who in his right mind put together this schedule?
Say this for it: It's not a football coach's schedule. September is composed of Boise State, Purdue, Utah and California, not the sort of downy landing a first-year BCS-school coach would draw up for himself.
In fact, Boise State — a Sept. 3, ESPN-enhanced keynote to the 2009 college season — represents the dark possibility of an early stumble for Kelly. He'll be pitted against Broncos head coach Chris Petersen, a favorite son in Eugene and former Bellotti offensive coach.
"Am I concerned about that? No," Kelly says. "It's never a coaching matchup. It's never me against him, or me against Sark [Washington's Steve Sarkisian] or me against [USC's] Pete Carroll.
"That's not the game. The game goes on between the lines."
Kelly became the designated successor to Bellotti last December, when it was apparent the Ducks were going to have trouble holding onto a coordinator whose offense plastered 65 points on Oregon State's would-be Rose Bowl qualifiers.
Through a winter of buzz about when the handoff would take place, Kelly says he never spoke with Bellotti about it until late February, and that Bellotti didn't act like a guy coasting.
"We were running him ragged in recruiting," said Kelly. "That wasn't the sign of a guy getting ready to step down."
In mid-March, Bellotti finally told Kelly, with a whimsical caveat: "I reserve the right to change my mind on the way in to work tomorrow."
Bellotti didn't, and he gives way to a successor who, stylistically, won't be a fax copy of Bellotti. Kelly is a 45-year-old New Englander who grew up on the opposite coast from Bellotti. He speaks rapid-fire, to Bellotti's measured comments.
On the field, the Ducks might not look much different, especially on offense, since Bellotti had hired Kelly in 2007 to advance Oregon's development in the spread-option offense.
"This program was tremendously successful before I got here," said Kelly. "If people think I'm going to drastically change from that game plan, they'd be crazy. They've done things right here for a long, long time."
Kelly is his own man, however. He offed two assistants, Michael Gray of the defensive line and Robin Pflugrad, who schooled receivers. Pflugrad moved on to Montana and his son Aaron, a wide receiver, transferred to Arizona State.
The Ducks are No. 14 in the coaches poll and No. 16 in the Associated Press rankings, but they must replace key parts of both lines, plus second-round NFL picks Patrick Chung and Jairus Byrd in the secondary.
Still, the offense could crackle, because it's ignited by Jeremiah Masoli, the 5-11, 220-pound dynamo who completed 57 percent of his passes, rushed for 718 yards and is the logical pick for All-Pac-10 quarterback.
"Nothing fazes him," says Kelly. "He's got as quick a release as anybody I've ever been around, and an absolute cannon for an arm."
Masoli says he is about 10 pounds leaner this year, adding, "I did a lot last year, but I feel the best is yet to come."
As for that opener, safety T.J. Ward says he clicked on a tape of the Ducks' 37-32 loss to Boise State last year and got so upset he couldn't watch it all.
"We just looked like a team that was unprepared," he said.
That's where Kelly comes in. This will be some freshman orientation.

Travelers driving into New York City on the Major Deegan Expressway may notice a huge billboard with the thundering words "JUDGMENT DAY May 21, 2011." It's not an ad for a new Hollywood blockbuster. Rather, it is a warning of the impending Apocalypse, which is scheduled to begin on May 21, with the rapturing of believers, and finish with the Earth's total destruction on Oct. 21, 2011.
Whether via al-Qiyamah, Ragnarök or the Revelation of St. John, the end of the world has been with us for one hell of a long time. The most recent date, May 21, is courtesy an 89-year-old California preacher named Harold Camping. But Cassandras can find portents of the End of Days everywhere from natural disasters and armed global conflict to the advent of the internet and Obamacare.
And you can find it in contemporary art. For Outsider Artists, Armageddon seems like a natural subject. Both Howard Finster and Henry Darger offered dramatic representations of the Apocalypse. Less known is South Carolina painter William Thomas Thompson, a businessman who felt the call to illustrate the entire Book of Revelations during a church service in Hawaii.
Despite suffering from Guillain-Barre syndrome, a disorder of the nervous system that has left him semi-paralyzed, Thompson has completed a 300-foot-long mural as well as numerous individual paintings chronicling the events in Revelations. Animated with fearsome figures and inscribed with Biblical passages and his own commentaries, Thompson's paintings bring fire-and-brimstone themes to Neo-Expressionist life.
The art world is a secular place, but that doesn't mean that religious symbolism is banished from
contemporary art. The late Chicago Imagist Roger Brown, who was raised in Alabama in the Church of Christ, referred to Biblical imagery in his art often enough. His An Actual Dream of the Second Coming (1976), for instance, transports Revelations' doomsday vision to an urban setting not unlike Brown's adopted city, filled with sinners lost in fiery despair while the faithful ascend to heaven.
Keith Haring was raised in the tradition of the United Church of God, a protestant sect imbued with a fervent belief in the imminence of the Apocalypse. As a gay man who rebelled against the homophobia of his childhood religion, Haring nevertheless embraced its ecstatic visions and powerful images of judgment. His many versions of The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1984) divide the canvas into an upper zone where winged figures ascend heavenward and a lower one filled with snakes, beasts, skeletons and burning hellfire. And Haring returned frequently to religious symbols -- crosses, haloes, bleeding hearts and of course his signature emblem, the radiant child.
A more conceptual approach to the Apocalypse appears in the work of Paul Pfeiffer, who is the child of Methodist missionaries. He frequently gives his digitally manipulated videos evocative titles drawn from the Bible. A study for Morning after the Deluge (2003), for example, evokes both the flood in Genesis and J.M.W. Turner's luminous masterpiece. Pfeiffer's work comprises a repeated loop of the sunrise and the sunset, shot in real time, in which the camera is fixed on the sun, so that the horizon dips and rises. One is left with a vision of the void, suggesting the emptiness that both preceded and will succeed the human world.
A similar sense of absence pervades the work of Ed Ruscha, whose Roman Catholic upbringing is evident in paintings in which words drawn from catechism like "Sin," "Hell," "Heaven," "Gospel," "Devil" and "Angel" materialize against glowing grounds. Of particular interest here are paintings that employ the words "The End," or simply "End." Frequently presented in a Gothic script familiar from old Bibles, these both mimic the closing screens of old movies and conjure the idea of the ultimate conclusion.
Finally, we must mention Matthew Ritchie whose ongoing narrative is based loosely on John Milton's epic Paradise Lost. Divided into chapters featuring color-coded characters, these incredibly complex abstract works center around proliferating stories of seven groups of seven characters who are also metaphysical principles or laws of physics. Ritchie maintains that the "ekpyrotic" theory of the cosmos, which holds that the universe came about from the collision of two "branes" (the fundamental units of string theory), is analogous to the epic battle of Paradise Lost, while Milton's description of Hell as "darkness visible" is another name for what contemporary physics calls "dark matter." This conflict inspires his own work, as can be seen in a painting appropriately titled How This Ends (2008).
Happy Judgment Day!

I usually require more than a weeks notice on all cake orders so that I for sure have all the supplies and enough time to fulfill it. I got a call on wednesday asking for a cake for sunday (yesterday). So I went ahead and took the order just because she said she knew my aunt.
I did not have enough fondant for her order on such short notice & I told her that I was unable to make exactly what she wanted and that I just couldn't make her cake. She didn't want to take my no for an answer and said to make it work with just buttercream instead.
I tried my best to match what she wanted with the buttercream, but it's hard to do when it was all supposed to be fondant. I had only 4hours of sleep trying to finish her order (I was booked this weekend with cakes).
I don't usually deliver cakes but she wanted it done so I agreed. I took it to the party and she went bonkers! She was screaming, crying and yelling! She said "this is not what I wanted" "where's the fondant black band around the top not this thing" "it's all wrong" "NOOOOO"
I apologized & so did my boyfriend (who went to carry it in for me since it was heavy).
I've never had someone hate my cake before. I've made so many with all nice things to say but she HATED IT. She threw a tantrum. It discouraged me so much I cried for 2 hours...and even now I feel sick to my stomach. I knew it was ugly, but I warned her it wasn't going to be perfect, because I didn't have the fondant.
I originally charged her $130.00 but after that happened I sent my boyfriend with an envelope with all her money in it. So I made nothing off of this order & I spent a lot of my own money. He said she answered the door and was eating my cake! With a smile on her face...she took her money back and said she wishes the cake came out the way she wanted and that it's a good thing it tastes good.
I need help coping with what just happened. I've never experienced this before. Have you guys had complaints before like that? I'm so sad. How was it like for you guys when it happened? Did I do the right thing giving back the money?

Pigeons have been known be be called "flying rats." These birds can be pests if they have chosen to hang out near your home or office. Here you will find tips for humane ways to deter pigeons. This is a guide about getting rid of pigeons.
Here are questions related to Getting Rid of Pigeons.
Pigeons on my house roof outside, have laid eggs and that insect which is tinier than an ant is disturbing a lot. It flies on our whole body and some bite. I don't know what to do. I need help and tips to remove the pigeon and the insects as soon as possible.

I live in a apartment with my 2 year old boy. We have two pigeons who are trying to build a nest in the corner of my balcony. Now for the last 2 weeks it has been a battle, they bring twigs and branches every two minutes and I sweep it all away every two hours. I can't very well be using chemicals with my kid around so I am at my wits end. I need help! Please how do I stop them from building a nest in the corner of my balcony?

I spray some WD-40 into a paper towel and lightly apply this to the rails around my deck. The birds have stopped roosting there and leaving a mess on my deck.
I have a small commercial office building in northern California. The tenants complain of pigeons on the roof, foul droppings, and noise. I want to rid the place of the "flying rats" in the most humane way possible. This is a health hazard, but I have not found a good solution to the problem. In addition, I am on the east coast and rely on the building management who have been no help, as of yet.

Spray were the roost with WD-40. They will not return. They were trying to build a nest in my friends rain gutters. She sprayed it with WD-40 and they didn't return.
Please help me get rid of pigeons on a my balcony. I have tied foil pie plates, wind chimes, and colored plastic bags to try to deter them and nothing is working. I live in an apartment building so am not allowed to put up any kind of netting or permanent structures.
By slyly09/30/2013
I live on the 3rd floor of an apartment complex and have a balcony garden. The balcony has wide grills. The pigeon menace was crazy, with them dirtying my balcony and most of all destroying my plants!
Considering I live in a rented place, I did not want to spend too much money on netting, so tried the scarecrow, hung CDs, stuck aluminium foil flags in the pots and none of them worked for more than a week. I finally decided to mimic the netted mesh balconies using a ball of twine and a cut up mosquito net and it has worked wonders! Its been a month and my balcony has been pigeon free.
Here is how I did it:
The top 3 quarters of the balcony grill has horizontal metal bars running parallel to each other at a distance of about 1ft with parallel vertical bars at a distance of 1ft. The lower part of the balcony grill has only horizontal bars parallel to each other. So this would allow the pigeons to freely move in and out and pretty much destroy all my plants.
So I started with my ball of twine at one end of the balcony and criss-crossed the twine across the grills. For the lower part I bought a cheap light coloured mosquito net (so that light would not be blocked) and cut it up to open into one long piece which I then tied across the lower part of the balcony.
Do you have knowledge about this guide topic? Feel free to share a solution!
Thrifty Fun has been around so long that many of our pages have been reset several times. Archives are older versions of the page and the feedback that was provided then.
I have a problem with pigeons in my garden. Can some one give me some advice on how to get rid of them?
Many thanks.

This Christmas my husband bought me a silver bird feeder and the birds acted like they were scared of it. They wouldn't eat out of it until I painted it. Now they love it so I think it has something to do with the silver or they see their reflection in it and think its another bird.
You could give the pie pans or the cds a try and see if it works for you. (06/06/2005)

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
DirecTV. Is it possible to get deals offered to NEW customers if you are an EXISTING customer?
Here's our situation. The person I know has had DirecTV standard definition for over 10 years. They recently purchased a 3D HDTV, and would like to upgrade to DirecTV HD. Numerous ads are showing free HD boxes, and some even free HD DVR boxes. However, all of these deals are for NEW customers only.If this person is an EXISTING customer, is there a way to persuade DirecTV to give out the deals offered to new customers only? Is it like the cable companies where you have to threaten to cancel and join the competitor (i.e. Dish network), or do satellite companies not work like that? Thanks! |
I was in the same boat. I was out of contract, and saw all the cool stuff that new customers get. I had only one HD receiver and one SD receiver in my house. I tried getting the new customer deals and they wouldn't budge, so I canceled. A few hours later I get a call back from Customer Retention. They wanted me to come back, so they offered the following:
Free HD DVR Receiver Two free HD Receivers Free whole-home DVR installation $15 bill credit for 1 yr Free HD access for 2 years Free DVR service for 3 months Free Starz and Showtime for 1yr Free NFL Sunday ticket for 1 yr Needless to say I came back. Tech is coming this weekend to install |
there is a thread about this in hot deals i think..or maybe deal talk.. last time i did it for my nlaws i told them i wanted to cancel and they sent me to retention. they offered a pretty good deal.
for those that hate spelling mistakes www.walmarts.co
save money by checking your insurance every 2 years (and not every 20) |
thanks everyone. Will try that this week. Dish Network actually has some good offers that I plan to present to the retention rep, but I'm trying to keep DirecTV for some local channel coverage, so I'm hoping I don't have to fully cancel to get the right offer. It sucks that it always has to be this way with TV providers.
I know it's been awhile since anyone posted about DirecTV EXISTING CUSTOMER deals so I thought I'd share my experience. We've been a DirecTV customer for 8 years & have called in before to get a deal. Last year we moved & got their mover's package. This year, my contract was up & I wanted to upgrade equipment & lower my monthly bill. It took 3 calls to their retension department, but it was worth it in the end.
Upgraded equipment at no extra cost. Installation at no cost. HD service for free (have to have auto pay option, but they do offer it) $20 off for 6 months (they said to call back when this expired & they should offer it to me again) Whole Home Service (regular $3/month) New HD Satellite Dish 2 HD receivers - free 1 HD DVR - free (just pay for service at $8/month) One time credit of $50 (referral $ that Dish would have given me - go to www.retailmenot Sports Pack free for 6 months (I negotiated a waive of HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Starz for an extra 3 months totaling 6 months for Sports Pak). Cinema Pak for $19.94 shipping & handling (don't know why when it the tech brings it all!). My prior bill was $77.99 for 1 standard receiver & 1 dvr (2 tv's). New bill should be $66.98 for 3 tvs all with HD service & HD DVR. 1st call they did a little, 2nd call when I tried to cancel & was moving to Dish, they added the equipment for free, 3rd call, they also gave me $ off my bill. It took a lot of phone time & research on my part, but they finally gave in. I tried for NFL Sunday Ticket, but they didn't go for it. One other trick, the DirecTV rep told me that I could call EVERY TIME my bill went up because the credits rolled off. They should be able to put them back on. I should reference the rep's name (one who just signed me up for the "deal") & ask for the credit to be put back on. I'm hoping that I won't have to "renew" my contract every time. Longevity with the company seems to play a role in being able to swing deals. Maybe in 2 years I can swing more $ off as I hope not to have to upgrade any more equipment for quite a while. Good luck to anyone else out there for a deal. Dish has some good stuff, but if you want sports, DirecTV seems to be the one to go for. |

Animal cruelty is a crime in every state. And one of the most important actions you can take is to report suspicious behavior. But who do you call? Great question. The police department that covers your city is required to investigate complaints of animal cruelty. There may also be an animal control agency or humane society who conducts these investigations. But regardless of who handles the case, chances are without your phone call the abuse will go unreported.
"By making a complaint to the police or humane society in your area—you can even do so anonymously—you are making sure that animals in need are rescued and that perpetrators are brought to justice," says ASPCA Special Agent Joann Sandano.
If you live in New York City, you can file your complaints directly with the ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement department, at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4450, or [email protected]. To find contact information for your local shelter, visit the ASPCA's searchable shelter database.
Say it Loud, Wear it Proud.
You don't have to be a cop or humane agent to help fight animal cruelty, all you need is the courage to call them. Help spread the word with this 911 shirt—and speak for those who can't.
We're at it again! The ASPCA's Field Investigations and Response Team is on the ground in Kentucky assisting in the evidence collection, sheltering and placement of 118 dogs seized last Thursday during a puppy mill investigation. The dogs—mainly small breeds such as Papillons, Dachshunds and Poodles—were living in deplorable conditions on the property.
In puppy mills across the country, breeder dogs like those rescued in Kentucky often suffer with little to no medical care, inadequate food and no break from misery. They are treated as puppy‐making machines. And when they can no longer breed, they are simply discarded.
"Simply put, these dogs are considered a cash crop—the more puppies they can crank out, the more money the mills can make," says Cori Menkin ASPCA Senior Director, Puppy Mills Campaign. "When the dogs can no longer produce, they are deemed worthless, just like broken equipment."
With your help, the ASPCA remains at the forefront of ending the cruelties associated with puppy mills. Stay tuned to aspca.org for more information as this story develops.
Many people imagine a puppy when they think about adopting a dog. Who can blame them? Puppies are adorable little bundles of joy. But you have to admit, they're not the only ones looking for homes. Older dogs need love, too. And here are three great reasons to adopt a golden oldie.
They're open books. From the start, you'll know important things like their size, personality and grooming requirements. All this information will make it easier to pick the right dog and forge an instant love connection that will last a lifetime.
They like to take it easy. Not that older dogs don't require exercise—they do—but they're not going to need, or want, to run a marathon every day.
Older dogs are often the last to be adopted and the first to be euthanized. Saving an animal's life offers an unparalleled emotional return on your investment, and you'll feel the rewards every day you spend together.
Want even more reasons to give a senior a shot? Read our Top 10 Reasons to Adopt an Older Dog.

Come on, Missouri, where's the puppy love? A newly proposed tax by the state's Department of Agriculture would require all nonprofit animal shelters and rescues to pay the same fees and taxes as for-profit puppy mills. Well, our foot is down. That's just not fair, and we're doing our best to set the state straight.
Along with The HSUS and Best Friends Animal Society, the ASPCA is demanding the Missouri Department of Agriculture abolish the Shelter Adoption Tax. Not only do these animal rescue organizations often clean up after the problems created by puppy mills, but the fees could cost groups as much as $2,500 per year.
"The new adoption tax could not come at a worse time," says Randy Grim of Stray Rescue in St. Louis, Missouri. "We are working tirelessly to solve the problem of homeless pets. We are performing a service for our community and we should not be lumped into the same category as commercial puppy mills."
For more information on the newly proposed tax, please visit our Pressroom.
We did it! One million people now 'like' us on Facebook. Humbled. Amazed. Grateful. We have only one thing to say: We 'like' you, too! Together we have fought for tougher laws to protect animals, shared vital pet care tips with friends, pledged to end animal cruelty…and of course, found homes for thousands of homeless pets.
You've given so much to the animals, and now we want to give a little something back. Through November 1, everyone can take 10% off the ASPCA Online Store with coupon code 1MIL10. We're also inviting folks to enter a special Facebook contest.
The winner will receive:
- Two round-trip tickets to NYC (November 16 to November 18)
- Hotel accommodations
- Two tickets to attend the Humane Awards Luncheon on November 17
- A guided tour of the ASPCA Adoption Center
But that's not all! It wouldn't be fair—and we certainly wouldn't be us—if we didn't include our furry friends. That's why we're offering the grand-prize winner a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to improve the lives of animals: If you win, we'll award $10,000 to your favorite shelter!
Don't wait a second more! Enter the We 'Like' You, Too Give-Away. And thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We truly are one million voices for animals.

Snooki Polizzi Could Face Jail Time On Public Nuisance Charges
Snooki may vex viewers of the MTV series weekly, but now she could finally pay the price.
The fist-pumping Jersey Shore star, who was arrested on disorderly conduct charges on July 30 and later slapped by the prosecutor with a violation of annoying people on an NJ beach last month, goes to trial today and may face to up to $3,200 in fines and 30 days of jail time.
The 22-year-old has plead not guilty to all charges.
Snooki, born Nicole Polizzi, told MTV that she's too good-looking for the clink.
"I'm too pretty to be in jail," she said. "I'm a good person. I'm not a criminal and I will never go back there."
She continued: "I don't know why people take it so seriously. I had a couple cocktails, and they just put me in a drunk tank to sober me up."
Jersey Shore is one of MTV's highest-rated shows.

I have two large green caterpillars on two blueberry bushes and a brief search shows this might be it. One will likely still be there tomorrow. Anyone know if these are common here in NE Oklahoma?
I can't bring myself to kill large caterpillars so in this case I sacrificed about 25% of one bush and 40% of another to these. Hopefully they are not common so it will be worth it to my childlike mind. If in fact these are not common here then maybe I can take a picture of it and search again. I may be way off. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Scott, The polyphemus moth is said to be 'widespread' here, but I don't seem them very often and I think that maybe they're not as widespread as they once were. You're in such a beautiful, lush area of Oklahoma (most years) compared to mine that I'd bet you have a better chance of seeing them there than I do here. There's usually two hatches--one in mid-spring and one in July or August, so I assume that the ones you're seeing now are from the second hatch. Are they really large cats? They go through several instars, so if they're still fairly small, I suspect they'll be munching on your plants for some time to come. I hope the blueberries survive all the munching. We had huge numbers of butterflies and moths in April and May when we were having some rainfall, but numbers have dropped very low here during the last 4-6 weeks. I suspect the heat and drought are really hurting the butterfly and moth populations this year. Enjoy it while it lasts because I think the average Oklahoman rarely, if ever, sees one....and you're got two! Dawn |

Black Hawk Mines: With Tripod Multi-tool, Photos can be present?
Posted on: December 09, 2012 at 9:08PM
First things first, why do you go on camping? Is camping really fun? The outdoor is a great experience to anyone. The adventure of living in the outdoors makes camping fun for everyone. Camping is an escape of the hustle and bustle of the busy life in the city. The nature and fresh air in addition to great sceneries can satisfy anyone. Although camping is such a common word, everyone was to heard it in some point of their life but what is camping exactly? Camping is an act of spending time in the outside, it is an outdoor recreation activity. Campers would pack their essentials, travel the wilderness, and camp overnight or for several days. It is basically spending time in the other shelter, preparing meals by cooking over a campfire and sleeping without your beds. So why is camping fun again? Aside from what nature can offer, camping is a great opportunity to spend time with your family and friends, have fun with your kids while you get the same fun as they do with no destructions from the modern world. You can do a lot of things while you are in camping outdoors like fishing, hiking, swimming, biking, and canoeing. Everyone in the world are so much into taking pictures more especially in moments like camping with the family an friends. The dilemma is, bringing a big tripod with you would cause you more hassle but if you wont bring it, chances are, you would be the camera person as a result you are absent in every picture. Tripod Multi-tool is the best gadget for you. A camera-friendly multi-tool that functions as multi purpose tool and a tripod called Steady. Costing only $65, Gerber has done a very nice job on this one. Tiny arms fold out from the handle to offer the tripods three legs of support. Form the knife blades to driver heads and all the other components of the multi-tool are all made of stainless steal. Built for campers and adventurers, Steady can hold digital cameras up to 340 grams and smart phones up to 170 grams. This tool has 12 different components that are most essential to campers and even at home. All these in one tool with rubberize coating. report a problemPosted on: December 19, 2012 at 1:12AM
Just imagine the comfort that this multi-tool can give you. What an ease right??Posted on: December 12, 2012 at 2:35AM
Hey cmon it is reasonable. I just bought one for myself and I really loved it!!! So worth it! http://blackhawk-mines.com/Posted on: December 10, 2012 at 8:04PM
Hello I really love camping so much, more especially when I am with my family. It is a great bonding time for us and you are so right when you said that it is really a hassle if you bring the big tripods. This tripod Multi-tool is really a big help! I must buy one! I am really excited to try this .Posted on: December 10, 2012 at 4:04AM
How much, is it reasonable?

"The single most important thing I think that we've all done is establish direct TB hotlines with live people," Keenan said. "We're committed to continuing that as long as there's a concern."
Keenan noted that for urgent concerns, a call could be answered outside of regular hours if patients called the desk and it was an emergency.
She noted that while only a relatively small percentage of the patients have been tested, many were unavailable because of the holiday weekend, but the families were assured that waiting would not be a problem.
McAuley confirmed that assessment.
"On some level, it's actually better when you wait, because the skin test is more reliable," he said.
At Evanston Hospital, the test is being offered to parents midweek this week, according to spokeswoman Amy Ferguson.
The hospital notified 71 parents by phone on Friday and sent mail to nine others for whom they did not have a phone number if the family had a child in their Infant Special Care Unit between February 11 and March 12.
Ferguson said about 35 calls about had come to their hospital over the weekend.
She noted however, that because of the air filter in the infant special care unit ward, precautions the hospital takes against infection and the fact that the resident's close friends and family have not been infected, the hospital sees the risk to the children as "minimal to non-existent."
While infants and small children who come to the hospital can receive a skin test, parents should also be aware of possible symptoms of TB, since a test will not always be accurate.
"It's really all about the maturity of their immune system," said McAuley, since the reading of the immune test simply gauges the body's immune reaction to TB. This problem was once common for HIV patients whose TB would not show up on the test because of their weakened immune systems.
He noted that children may be less likely to inhale airborne TB bacteria than adults, but are more susceptible to the infection itself.
"Adults have a much more mature immune system and are able to handle that infection," he said.
He noted that weak bodily defenses were a particular concern for immunocompromised children who were being treated at the hospital. For them, McAuley said, a chest X-ray would also be prudent.
In many younger children, said Dr. Mark Metersky, a member of the American College of Chest Physicians Chest Infections Network, TB medications might be given right away to head off potential problems. The protocol, he noted, is "treat first and ask questions later."
Metersky noted that in young patients, TB will often show up as fever, weight loss, cough or lethargy, but the symptoms can also be less specific, so parents should be mindful.
"Especially in a [newborn], the infection can manifest itself just about anywhere in the body. The parents of an exposed infant should be looking for any signs of illness," he said.
But while concerns may remain, Gerber, like Metersky and McAuley said that in this case there is little reason to believe any children contracted TB.
"At this point, we have every reason to believe that the risk is minimal," she said.

Form of nonfictional literature whose subject is the life of an individual. The earliest biographical writings probably were funeral speeches and inscriptions. The origins of modern biography lie with Plutarch's moralizing lives of prominent Greeks and Romans and Suetonius's gossipy lives of the Caesars. Few biographies of common individuals were written until the 16th century. The major developments of English biography came in the 18th century, with such works as James Boswell's Life of Johnson. In modern times impatience with Victorian reticence and the development of psychoanalysis have sometimes led to a more penetrating and comprehensive understanding of biographical subjects. See also autobiography.

Work begins on new facility
Del Mar complex will be used for training courses
Officials broke ground Tuesday on a new building that will help train
more police, fire and emergency medical personnel in a 13county area.
The $11.5 million Public Safety Complex at Del Mar College's West Campus is part of the $108 million bond approved by voters in 2003.
The complex will house the Division of Business' Department of Public Safety. The programs include:
- The Del Mar College Regional Police Academy
- The Emerging Medical Services Professions program
- The Fire Science Technology program
- The Occupational Safety and Health Program
The building is scheduled for completion for fall 2006 and will incorporate 35 training features.
College president Carlos A. Garcia said the programs housed in the complex were limited in their growth because of a lack of space.
"The building will help increase capacity and training for first responders," Garcia said.

As it so happens, Wood is now involved in a relationship that's even more nausea-inducing than the last — and not simply because the new man is even older than Manson (he's 56) or because his face has been astoundingly disfigured by botched plastic surgery procedures (it certainly has). Rather, it's because the latest of Wood's tonsil hockey competitors is none other than the man who plays her father in her latest film, the Wrestler.

Review of Acute Human-Toxicity Estimates for Selected Chemical-Warfare Agents SUBCOMMITTEE ON TOXICITY VALUES FOR SELECTED NERVE AND VESICANT AGENTS COMMITTEE ON TOXICOLOGY BOARD ON ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES AND TOXICOLOGY COMMISSION ON LIFE SCIENCES NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL
Sponsor: U.S. Department of Defense
Due to the existence of large stocks of chemical-warfare (CW) agents, their easy producibility from ordinary industrial chemicals, and their potential lethal effects, there is a critical need to determine as precisely as possible the exposure levels at which CW agents cause toxic effects. This information could aid in protecting soldiers in the event of a CW attack.
This report, by the Subcommittee on Toxicity Values for Selected Nerve and Vesicant Agents of the National Research Council's Committee on Toxicology, is intended to assist the U.S. Army by assessing the scientific validity of existing human-toxicity estimates for several CW agents. The estimates considered in this report were proposed recently in the Army's Chemical Defense Equipment Process Action Team (CDEPAT) report entitled Review of Existing Toxicity Data and Human Estimates for Selected Chemical Agents and Recommended Human Toxicity Estimates Appropriate for Defending the Soldier (1994). The report was authored by S.A. Reutter, Ph.D., and W.A. Wade, D.V.M.; it is classified "secret" and can be obtained only with permission from the director of the U.S. Army Edgewood Research, Engineering and Development Center, Edgewood, Md.
We gratefully acknowledge Carl Curling, Jerry Glasow, William Klenke, Francis O'Donnell, Forrest Oliverson, Gerald Palmer, Sharon Reutter, Harry Salem, and Sandra Thomson (all from the U.S. Army) for providing background information. We also thank Gail Charnley (Commission on Risk Assessment and Risk Management) and Annetta Watson (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) for making presentations to the subcommittee and providing useful information.
We are grateful for the assistance of the National Research Council staff in preparing this report. Staff members who contributed to this effort are Paul Gilman, executive director of the Commission on Life Sciences; James J. Reisa, director of the Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology; Carol A. Maczka, program director for toxicology and risk assessment; Ruth E. Crossgrove, editor; Lucy V. Fusco, project assistant, and Catherine M. Kubik, senior program assistant. We especially wish to recognize the major contributions of the project director, Kulbir S. Bakshi, who directed the preparation of the subcommittee's report. His knowledge of the scientific and technical literature and his tireless efforts to obtain information and to organize the study plan, the subcommittee meetings, and the subcommittee's report aided in the successful completion of the project.
Finally, we would like to thank all the members of the subcommittee for their dedicated efforts throughout the development of this report.
Loren D. Koller, Ph.D. Chair, Subcommittee on Toxicity Values for Selected Nerve and Vesicant Agents
Rogene F. Henderson, Ph.D. Chair, Committee on Toxicology
No reliable acute-exposure1 standards have been established for the particular purpose of protecting soldiers from toxic exposures to chemical-warfare (CW) agents . Some human-toxicity estimates are available for the most common CW agentsorganophosphorus nerve agents and vesicants; however, most of those estimates were developed for offensive purposes (that is, to kill or incapacitate the enemy) and were intended to be interim values only.
The U.S. Army's original purpose for developing human-toxicity estimates for CW agents was to enable it to predict the number of casualties that would occur during an offensive action in which the goal was to kill or incapacitate a certain fraction of the enemy forces (for example, killing or incapacitating a minimum of 50% of the least-sensitive (most-resistant) individuals). Such an approach would actually result in more than half of the exposed individuals dying (the "bonus effect"), because a certain percentage of those exposed would be expected to be more susceptible than the least-sensitive individual. Thus, exposure under the Army's original estimates would result in substantial "over-kill". These estimates understate the toxicity of the agents and therefore are inappropriate for protecting soldiers.
Because of the possibility of a chemical attack by a foreign power, the Army's Office of the Surgeon General asked the Army's Chemical Defense Equipment Process Action Team (CDEPAT) to review the toxicity data for the nerve agents GA (tabun), GB (sarin), GD (soman), GF, and VX, and the vesicant agent sulfur mustard (HD) and to establish a set of exposure limits that would be useful in protecting soldiers from toxic exposures to those agents. In the 1994 report entitled Review of Existing Toxicity Data and Human Estimates for Selected Chemical Agents and Recommended Human Toxicity Estimates Appropriate for Defending the Soldier, the team concluded that some of the existing human-toxicity estimates are too high and are inappropriate for use in protecting soldiers. In those cases, CDEPAT proposed new estimates for various routes of exposure-percutaneous vapor, vapor inhalation, and percutaneous liquid exposures. The proposed human-toxicity estimates are only for healthy male military personnel. They must not be used for civilians.
Before making a decision on acceptance of the human-toxicity estimates proposed by CDEPAT, the Department of the Army requested that the National Research Council (NRC) independently review the CDEPAT report to determine the scientific validity of the proposed estimates. The NRC assigned this project to the Committee on Toxicology (COT) of the Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology. The COT convened the Subcommittee on Toxicity Values for Selected Nerve and Vesicant Agents, which prepared this report. Members of the subcommittee were selected for their recognized expertise in the fields of toxicology, medicine, pathology, biostatistics, and risk assessment. The subcommittee was charged to review the Army's proposed human-toxicity estimates for GA, GB, GD, GF, VX, and HD. Specifically, the subcommittee was charged with the following tasks:
1. Review the scientific protocols and quality of the toxicity data used in revising the human-toxicity estimates for acute exposures.
2. Review the toxicity estimates for mild and nonsevere effects and for severe and lethal effects .
3. Review the methods used in deriving the human-toxicity estimates for acute exposures.
4. Determine the appropriateness of the assumptions made in deriving the human-toxicity estimates for acute exposures .
The subcommittee was not asked to recommend new toxicity estimates or to address the policy or operational consequences of lowering the proposed human-toxicity estimates. The subcommittee's evaluations of CDEPAT's proposed estimates for GA, GB, GD, GF, VX, and HD are summarized in Tables 1 through 6.
The subcommittee's conclusions concerning the scientific validity of the proposed CDEPAT estimates are grouped in four categories: (1) some estimates were judged to be scientifically valid; (2) other estimates were judged adequate to serve as interim estimates until further research is conducted; (3) some estimates need to be lowered; and (4) a few estimates need to be raised.
The toxicity data that CDEPAT used to derive its proposed estimates were generated primarily from a data base developed from the 1930s to the 1960s. The existing human-toxicity estimates were based on experiments performed 30-40 years ago using various animal species in often poorly controlled studies with vastly different protocols. In reviewing the available toxicity data for the six CW agents, the subcommittee recognized that the quality of the relevant toxicity data is marginal, but it also recognized that the Army needs "best estimates " to protect its troops from exposure. For each chemical agent, data were available for only a few adverse health effects, such as death, incapacitation, cholinesterase (ChE) inhibition, miosis (a decrease in pupil size), and rhinorrhea (running nose), vesication, and erythema. Thus, even though the subcommittee concluded that some of CDEPAT's proposed estimates are scientifically valid, those conclusions are based on a limited toxicity data base. By current standards of toxicology, the toxicity data base for the agents is inadequate, and such inadequacy is a major obstacle to the Army in developing human-toxicity estimates with statistical confidence and in developing risk-management strategies.
The subcommittee recommends that the Army convene an expert panel to develop a research strategy for deriving more scientifically sound toxicity values for the agents of concern. The panel should first consider the use of such techniques as structure-activity relationships, the uncertainty factors, and in vitro systems for estimating human-toxicity values for CW agents.
If these approaches do not appear to be useful, animal and human experimentation may be recommended. Although additional research is clearly desirable to provide improved confidence in existing data, such research should not be performed on laboratory animals until expert judgment documents the need on a case-by-case basis. It must be documented that the data to be obtained from laboratory animals is needed to make a significant improvement in the protection of human health.

Chabad of Bradenton will host an observance of the 15th anniversary of the passing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, obm, this week.
The central event in Manatee County will be a Farbrengen at 7:30 p.m., June 24, at Chabad Jewish Center, 11509 Palmbrush Trail.
Schneerson worked from his Chabad-Lubavitch headquarters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, N.Y., where he served as a consultant for prime ministers and celebrities on everything from personal dilemmas to international affairs. Now, his influence continues through a network of more than 3,330 Chabad institutions in 72 countries, including one in Lakewood Ranch.
"The Rebbe was one of the greatest giants of this past century, serving as an inspiration to countless numbers of people," said Chabad Exeutive Director Rabbi Mendy Bukiet. "It is befitting to pay tribute to the life and legacy of the Rebbe, obm, on the anniversary of his passing, by reflecting on his powerful teachings — on spirituality, faith and ethics — and applying them to our daily lives."
Attendees of the local celebration will join hundreds of thousands across the globe in marking this anniversary in a myriad of ways including prayer, Torah study, spiritual outreach efforts, musical tributes and lectures.
For more information about the Rebbe, his legacy and anniversary of his passing, visit www.ChabadofBradenton.com/Rebbe.

Dragon Age has a rich universe, one that has spawned novels, a film, comics, and, now, a mobile game. I know, try not to act so surprised. Yet though Heroes of Dragon Age may be free, it packs quite a bit of depth, as this is one adventure designed to forge the strongest, most-feared tactician in the land.
I'll be honest, I've never really understood the appeal of fishing, and the concept of sitting on a boat for hours hoping to get a bite already strikes me as pretty ridiculous. Thanks to grocery stores, I can think of much easier ways to get fish, and with a memory foam mattress, I can think of even easier ways to relax. But Ridiculous Fishing, which made its Android debut last week as part of the current Humble Mobile Bundle, doesn't earn its name by even remotely simulating the pastime it resembles.
I played one year of a baseball as a kid, and for a brief - very brief - period in my life, I imagined what it would be like to play on a Major League Baseball team. Yet I was never much of a serious fan, and I lacked the skills to even maintain the fantasy for a significant period of time. Thanks to Franchise MVP, the latest game MLB.com has pitched into the Play Store, no one will again have to expend much effort picturing themselves as the most valuable player on an MLB team.
The popular - and absolutely absurd - Ridiculous Fishing made its Android debut as part of the current Humble Mobile Bundle just last week, and now it's available in the Play Store. If you've been looking forward to getting your hands on this addictive, tilt-controlled, vaguely-fishing game but have no interest in the other titles offered in the bundle, this is a cheaper way to do so.
Many of the games we see enter the Play Store are just plain weird, but few can hold a candle to the premise behind Ridiculous Fishing.
There's a different farming sim out there for every type of gamer (except for those that hate farming sims, that is). There are realistic simulators, and then there are some that don't seem to have all that much to do with farming. There's Harvest Moon, FarmVille, and the list goes on. Producing a farming game seems to be a winning strategy regardless of platform, so now Supercell (developer of Clash of Clans) has ported its wildly popular iOS game Hay Day to Android, and it's available for free.
It's finally here, folks: the most-anticipated agrarian simulation game of the year is now available on the Google Play Store. If you wile away the lonely Kansas nights with the latest Tractor Supply Company catalogs, if you've ever found yourself checking out a ball hitch on eBay, if the words "crop rotation" get you hot and bothered, then this is your game.
"Tired of farming alone?" asks the Farming Simulator 2014 trailer, as if it didn't already know.
Bulkypix's last game was a first-person shooter featuring zombies running amok on a spaceship. It wasn't the most original premise out there, but at least it was somewhat of a visual treat. Yet if that offering was just too mindless for your tastes, the team is at it again with Meltdown, a top-down shooter with a tad more creativity, much more charm, and even a semblance of depth.
In Meltdown, players assume the role of a red headband-wearing blondie clad in bulky blue armor.
You knew this day would come. An asteroid is hurtling towards Earth, but before you ready those nukes, your job isn't to deflect it - it's to guarantee that it doesn't miss. In Massteroid, players take control of said asteroid and try to grow it as big as possible to inflict maximum destruction. But if you've learned anything from late 90s disaster films, Earth isn't going down without a fight. You must dodge unguided missiles, satellites, targeted ordinances, mines, and - wait for it - black holes.
Do you like Minecraft, but feel that its pixelated style isn't retro enough? Then publisher Noodlecake is happy to oblige by turning the open-world, construction-oriented first-person action game into an open-world, construction-oriented platforming game. The Blockheads just landed in the Google Play Store after earning more than a few fans on iOS over the last ten months.
There's really no getting around it: Blockheads is a pretty shameless copy of Minecraft, with adjustments to perspective and gameplay to make it easier on mobile players.
Platform games seem to have hit their stride on Android. With typical mascot-style fare like Sonic, Rayman, and Cordy, not to mention unconventional games like Bravoman, Gentlemen, and a handful of OrangePixel titles, platformer fans are spoiled for choice. Add one more game to the list, The Secret of Space Octopuses, a tongue-in-cheek game that takes inspiration from Metroid and adds in a few creative touches.
The gist is that you're an adorable alien abductee who's able to build his own helper robot in a cave, with a box of scraps.
