Plugging the holes
"A sidewalk near where I live in Downtown Atlanta is falling apart, disintegrating so that the hollow space below it is open to the air. Could be dangerous but, rather than fix this, the nearby building owner has apparently decided to go the WTR route and just plug the holes up with inverted traffic cones. Actually since I took these pictures a white and orange saw horse has been added, although the cones are still there, plugging the holes. "
2 Comments to Plugging the holes
Makes sense actually, if the cone was face up, some moron would kick it out of the way and snap his leg off putting his foot in the hole.
The way said moron can NOT hurt himself. The white saw horse is just to keep the morons from tripping over it, Which probably already happened, hence the addition.

I would have to assume the sidewalk would be the cities responsibility to fix anyway, not the store owner.

text: Thanks, this is good information. However, I remember that the charger plates used to be heated and then the plate was placed on it to keep the food warm. Now that they are plastic, I doubt that heating is a good idea. But I still think they bring a certain charm to the table, especially at the holidays.

text: There is a rich but relatively understudied linguistic heritage here in Western Canada. Neighbouring British Columbia is home to no less than thirty languages representing eight different language families or isolates. One of these families, viz. Wakashan, has long been my object of study. Calgary itself is relatively near to languages from five very different language families: Dene/Athabaskan (Tsuut'ina/Sarcee, Dunne-za/Beaver, Dëne Sųłiné/Chipewyan, Dene Tha/South Slavey), Algonquian (Blackfoot, Plains Cree, Ojibwe, Gros Ventre), Siouan (Stoney dialects), and more distantly, Ktunaxa (Kutenai) and Montana Salish. Since arriving at the University of Calgary I've been privileged to work with fluent speakers of most of these languages, and of many others. I am interested in both the documentation and the revitalization of these Indigenous languages.

While, filmmaker Manmohan Shetty is almost ready with his Rs15, 000-crore theme park in Panvel, a well-known real estate company in Dubai is building a similar theme park with producer Ritesh Sidhwani as the brand ambassador. Ritesh will not just be the face of the project but also be creatively involved in its making.
A source close to Ritesh told Mirror: "He had signed up for the project nearly a year back but had kept it under wraps. Preparations for the theme park are on in full swing. His recent trip to Dubai too was for that. Plans are afoot to make this the biggest theme park in the world."
The park will borrow elements from Hollywood and Bollywood films and Ritesh has been assigned to decide on the Indian content. There will also be restaurants, shops and cafes catering to both kids and adults.
Elaborating on this, the source said: "Ritesh has recommended about 15 Bollywood films to the makers of the park. The deals to buy the rights of the films in question have almost been locked and an official announcement in this regard will be made soon." When contacted, Ritesh confirmed the news but said it is too early to elaborate on the project.

Robotic Procedures on a Beating heart.
Robotic Procedures on a Beating heart.
HeartLander is a new medical device, well into pre-clinical development, that enables minimally invasive surgical procedures any place on the surface of a beating heart. HeartLander is placed on the epicardium through a small, sub-xiphoid port. It walks on the surface of the heart like an inchworm, providing a mobile platform with a stable frame-of-reference relative to the beating heart surface. It provides a superior alternative to closed-chest, beating heart endoscopic surgery and endocardial approaches. Lead applications are cardiac ablation and biventricular pacing lead placement.
Approximately 550,000 ablation and lead placement procedures are performed annually, representing a market potential for HeartLander of $450 million.
Leading electrophysiologists, interventional cardiologists, and cardiothoracic surgeons have indicated significant interest in this innovation and its key physician benefits: more precise and accurate procedures, faster and more efficient protocols, and lower patient exposure to fluoroscopic radiation.
HeartLander has been used in numerous in vivo porcine procedures, which have demonstrated that the device has a broad range of capabilities. Currently on its third generation, the device is only 8.5mm in diameter. Enhancements could shrink HeartLander to 3mm. Additional information on early prototypes can be found on our academic partner's website.

About six months ago, a wonderful gift came into our neighborhood. It came in the package of a very energetic, talkative and ever-entertaining neighbor. I stopped to talk to her on the sidewalk a few days after she moved in.
An hour later, we discovered we have a bit in common. She is a teacher. I have a child.
As she unpacked, she began showing up on my doorstep with gifts…well…bags. Of stuff. Books and boxes and games and catalogs and more things than you can imagine. All related to things my kids are interested in.
And then, there was this scuffed up, rather not-interesting looking blue, plastic filing box. She handed it to me as if it were gold.
"My aunt," she said, "collected these math problems over 30-years of teaching math. I thought your son might like them. Please take good care of them. They are a true labor of love." As I opened the box, I could tell, they had been carefully written, indexed, cared for.
I am always in awe of teachers who put such time, effort and energy into their students. Oh, I'm just in awe of teachers. Period.
I've held on to this box…sharing the problems with Boy Genius from time to time. But then it dawned on me. There is an opportunity to share this gift with so many more. So today, I kicked off Twyla's Corner on SABusyKids.com. Head on over, today's problem is one of our favorites – a logic problem. You can read it here. And there's a prize for the first correct answer – a CD from my all-time favorite children's musician, Lucas Miller.
Every Monday, I'll post a new math problem. Monday Math – get it? Some of them are easy. Some a little more challenge. I hope teachers and parents will find the resource helpful. I hope Twyla's aunt would be proud.
Happy counting!

Children's Parliament held in Central Hall, Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly shows the way
Kulsum Mustafa Lucknow, November 2008: "This parliament is more fruitful than the bigger parliament sessions. The demand for a state children's commission must be immediately conceded to as it will give a real voice to children", a sentiment expressed by veteran legislator Om Prakash Singh at the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly on November 20 - Universal Child Rights Day. Addressing the House, Speaker of the State Assembly Sukdev Rajbhar acknowledged that some very relevant issues had been touched upon in the Children's Parliament which would be taken up at a higher decision-making level by the government. "I fully support the idea of State Children's Commission which must be set up" he said. The issues ranged from poor health facilities, education and civic amenities in rural areas to issues of child prostitution, child sexual abuse, gender, caste discrimination, police high-handedness on working children and more. The UP State Legislative Assembly has shown the way by inviting 60 under privileged children from different parts of the state to hold a Children's Parliament in the Central Hall of Parliament. The proceedings were recorded by the Assembly Secretariat and referred to for action to different legislative committees. Among those also present were Parlimentary Affairs Minister Lalji Verma and Opposition Legislator Lalji Tandon … a clear pointer to the importance accorded to this event. The Central Hall wore the look of a mini assembly. There were marshals, legislative reporters, galleries for media and public. But instead of one there were two speakers - Narendra representing the boys and Reena, the girls. Children First a consortium of 40 odd NGOs of UP working for child rights were the organizers of this novel initiative supported by UNICEF and Action Aid. Exercising their right to be heard the child 'legislators' presented their problems before the House. The issues ranged from poor health facilities, education and civic amenities in rural areas to issues of child prostitution, child sexual abuse, gender, caste discrimination, police high-handedness on working children and more. Triveni, a street child from Varanasi, spoke of the harassment faced by kids working on railway stations and narrated heart rending tales of the suffering they go through due to lack of medicine, food and homes.
Dhirender, from Lakhimpur Kheri, expressed a deep desire for handicapped children to study and go to normal schools where they are at present denied admission. The concluding session of the Children's Parliament was organized at the City Montessori School auditorium at Gomti Nagar. In all over 200 children visited the state capital and voiced their grievances through a forum provided by the UP's Children's Parliament. "This was no mock Parliament. The children spoke and adults listened. There was proper documentation of the whole proceedings and issues referred to special committees for consideration. If only we elders lend the children our ears and let them speak out fearlessly and freely this world will be a much safer and peaceful place to live in." said UNICEF Lucknow Communication Specialist, Augustine Veliath.

BBSRC researchers rewarded for cross-cultural collaborations with Japan
1 December 2010
Researchers from the BBSRC community have been awarded two of the six 2010 Daiwa Adrian Prizes - prestigious awards for scientific excellence in the UK and Japan.

Following an assessment conducted by a panel of Fellows of the Royal Society, the Trustees of The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation have awarded prizes of £10,000 to joint UK-Japan research teams. Winners include two teams from the BBSRC community, one led by Professor Sophien Kamoun at The Sainsbury Laboratory in Norwich, and the other led by Dr Hugh Robinson at University of Cambridge. Professor Kamoun and Dr Robinson are due to receive their prizes during an awards ceremony on Thursday 02 December 2010.
Professor Kamoun's team is funded by BBSRC to study the genomics of interactions between plants and organisms that cause plant disease - potato and P.infestans (which causes late blight), for example. This research will help to reduce crop losses to disease and so contribute to future food security. The award is shared with their colleagues at the Iwate Biotechnology Research Center in Japan.

Dr Robinson's neuroscience research aims to understand the basic operation of networks of nerve cells in the brain and has previously been funded by BBSRC. Dr Robinson, along with researchers at Harvard University (USA) and the Karolinska Institute (Sweden) is awarded the prize together with collaborators at two Japanese institutes: University of Tokyo and Osaka University.
The prizes recognise cross-cultural collaboration and reflect the breadth and diversity of scientific achievement by researchers in the UK and Japan.
Steve Visscher, Deputy Chief Executive, BBSRC will be attending the awards ceremony on Thursday. He said "I would like to congratulate the award winners. This is a wonderful recognition of the excellent work they do and acknowledgement of the advantages that come with international collaboration. At BBSRC we believe that partnerships add considerable value to research. Working with overseas partners ensures that the UK can benefit from the increasing scientific activity across the globe. It also means that efforts to research important global issues are set in a global context, ensuring that the research remains relevant and has greater impact."

Courtney Love Becomes a Cartoon, Drowns in Shame, and Kicks It With Karl Lagerfeld
Categories: A Compelling Visual, Video
Image by Michael Mouris |
In the short animated film The Dark Night of the Soul, directed by Michael Mouris, laugh tracks add the backdrop for a wannabe rock 'n' roll sitcom.
Courtney sounds completely out of it, but tells Lagerfeld that she's "sober." And when she and
Her hair then becomes a pile of noodles. An Asian woman starts doing sign language in the bottom right corner. Are we losing it?
She goes to lunch with fashion mentor André Leon Talley and he tells her, "You are none of these [bags]. You are a rockstar. That's just your bag." Love responds, "Well, it's still pretty magical." Cue awkward segue to "Skinny Little Bitch," a cutesy blonde going in head first for a strawberry-topped cake, then assorted candy, which morphs into a video installation at an art gallery. Are you dizzy yet?
"No, no, no, darling," Lagerfeld continues. "The kook is never gone. You are the kook and the grace, and we love all of it." All of a sudden the animation morphs into live video of Love performing and fans cheering.
What's more interesting, still, is that Mouris transformed this short from pixels in photographs, see left. Check out the six and a half minute short below, and tell us what you think. Isn't Love a lot more fun when she's animated?

200-2010 Bachelor of Business Administration Program (BBA)
Program Goals | Admissions & Financial Aid | Degree Requirements | Program Policies | Project Sequences
Program Chair: Aric Krause
Faculty: Aric Krause, Tana Monaco, Michael Sutton, Jerry Van Os, Joel Watson
The Bachelor of Business Administration is a project-based degree completion program specifically designed for non-traditional students who have completed an Associate's Degree (A.A. or A.S.) and wish to complete a Bachelor's degree at a later point in life. The program is:
- Project-Based: a student completes a total of 5 projects designed and sequenced specifically to measure student learning and accomplishment.
- Self-Paced: a student completes sequenced projects while still attending to personal and professional commitments; a student will individually choose the speed and pace they wish for program completion.
- Accelerated: a student graduates when all projects are successfully completed; the amount of time a student would take to graduate from the program is self-determined by the student.
- Low-Residency: a student uses learning experiences and resources delivered via the Internet to master program competencies. A student attends two-day on-campus residencies once during each of the 5 project sequences.
- Faculty mentored: faculty members work with students on an individual basis to provide mentorship, project guidance, and feedback. Faculty members also evaluate completed student projects to determine whether or not project learning is sufficiently demonstrated.
Students completing all program and college requirements earn a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree from Westminster College.
Program Goals
A student completes the program by demonstrating mastery of the following program goals and related competencies:
- Communication skills: a student effectively communicates business concepts orally and in writing to faculty and business stakeholders.
- Ethical decision making skills: a student understands various ethical perspectives and utilizes ethical and legal framework for decision-making.
- Critical thinking skills: a student develops skills to analyze and solve complex managerial problems.
- Leadership and collaboration skills: a student demonstrates how individuals and groups contribute to valued organizational outcomes.
- Strategic perspective: a student demonstrates the cultural, legal, economic and geo-political forces that impact business strategies within national and international contexts.
- Organizational performance: a student analyzes and uses accounting and financial information to articulate organizational performance for various stakeholders.
- Market execution: a student identifies and understands markets for an organization's goods and services, applies the activities which make up the value chain for those goods and services, and employs appropriate methodologies and techniques for ensuring product/service quality and speed to market.
Admissions & Financial Aid
A student is admitted to the program on a rolling basis, with new cohorts beginning the program in August, January, and May of each year.
Admission to the Bachelor of Business Administration requires the submission of the following materials to the Office of Admissions for admissions evaluation:
- A completed application with a $40 application fee.
- Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended, providing evidence of an associate degree (A.A. or A.S.) from a regionally accredited college or university or international college or university. A Letter of General Education Completion from an accredited college or university with 64 credit hours or more will also be considered.
- Résumé detailing 6 or more years of relevant work experience. Relevant work experience can be paid employment, volunteer work for non-profit organizations, military service, or combinations of the above; the résumé should demonstrate increasing responsibility in work-related experience.
- One reference letter, typed on letterhead from a supervisor, manager, professor, or other professional source.
- Responses to essay questions.
In certain cases an interview with an admissions representative may be required prior to admissions. When the application materials are complete, the application is reviewed by a committee and decisions are reported to the student.
A student entering the program is given the equivalent of 64 credit hours for an associate's degree (A.A. or A.S.).
Program Costs
The cost of the entire program is fixed as long as the student is making academic progress. The tuition price includes all learning resources and fees. Because of the self-paced nature of the program, once a student is enrolled in a project, tuition refunds are not possible. Students with extenuating circumstances can adjust their pace when necessary. Students who decide to withdraw from the program entirely must notify their Program Assistant immediately.
Satisfactory Progress Policy
A student is required to maintain satisfactory progress in the program in order to receive Title IV federal financial aid funds. For more information, see the satisfactory progress policy on the Financial Aid page.
Financial Aid
A student enrolled in this program is eligible for federal financial aid programs as described in the financial aid section of this catalog. A student is not eligible for institutional aid programs. To be eligible for federal financial aid, a student must maintain enrollment and satisfactory progress as described. A student can also elect to participate in alternative loan programs as long as eligibility requirements are met. Please contact your Program Assistant for specific information about financial aid.
Degree Requirements
The Projects
The program consists of 5 project sequences which must be completed at Westminster College. Each of the project sequences consists of several small sub-projects and an integrative project. The projects are to be completed in the order specified. A student completes all projects to demonstrate mastery of the program learning goals and objectives. Before starting a project sequence, a student meets with his or her Coach to assess which learning experiences should be used to help the student complete the projects, given the student's prior life and/or professional experience. The student is given a set of rubrics, which explain precisely how the project will be evaluated upon its completion. A student can use this rubric to self-assess the project before submission. When a project sequence is successfully completed, the student can begin the next project sequence.
Faculty Interaction
To help students in the program, there are dedicated faculty members specifically assigned to assist in learning, in learning assessment, and for career mentorship. Students and faculty interact regularly to effect learning. Each student has a Coach to serve as a mentor to the student throughout the program. Each project sequence has a faculty mentor who assists the student in learning experiences and in project completion and evaluation. Each student also has access to Program Assistants to assist with registration, billing, financial aid, project submission, technology systems, and any other questions about the program. A student is encouraged to utilize these resources whenever needed throughout the duration of the program.
Grading/Assessment Systems
When a student has completed a project, work is submitted to the Mentor for evaluation according to the established project rubrics. A student is given one of three assessments for each of the competencies related to the sub-project and for the overall project: Exceeds project standards, Meets project standards, or Does Not Meet project standards. In all cases, the student is given substantial feedback on project performance. In the case that an assessment of "Does Not Meet project standards" is given, the student is allowed to use additional learning experiences and resubmit the work for additional evaluation. A student can submit their work a maximum of three times for evaluation.
Each project sequence includes a required two-day on-campus residency period. The residency consists of workshops, seminars, and simulations specifically designed to offer learning opportunities related to each project sequence. Residencies are scheduled on a monthly basis. Please consult the program website for specific information on residency schedules.
Learning Experiences
Learning experiences are provided to help the student master the knowledge related to specific competencies and learning goals as they relate to specific projects. All of the learning experiences can be accessed from the program website. A student is not required to complete any specific set of learning experiences. Learning experiences augment a student's knowledge and can be engaged on an as-needed basis by the student. A student is strongly encouraged to consult with his or her Mentor as they are working on projects to figure out which sets of learning experiences are most useful, given the student's background and experience. All learning experiences can be accessed by all students--even if a student is completing a later project, that student can refer back to learning experiences from other projects to help recall specific techniques and knowledge.
Program Policies
Academic Progress
A student can complete the requirements of the program within five semesters. A student who, for whatever reason, does not enroll for two consecutive terms must request reinstatement in the program, and will be subject to the tuition charges currently in effect. A student must complete a project sequence within a semester. If, at the end of the semester, the project sequence is not completed, the student may be required to reapply to the program. Staying in constant contact with the program assistant and project coach helps avoid problems.
Academic Suspension
A student who, for whatever reason, is unable to demonstrate mastery of the competencies of a particular project sequence after two full attempts will be asked to meet with their Coach. The Coach will work with the student to develop a realistic plan to identify those barriers that inhibit the student's successful performance. This plan will then be engaged and the student will be given one additional attempt at completion. If the student is still unable to complete the project, the student may be suspended from the program.
A student who is suspended from the program may reapply for admission after two terms. A personal interview will be required before readmission is allowed, and, if readmitted, the student will be able to reenter the program at the current year's tuition rate. The student will work with his or her Coach to develop a specific progress plan. As long as the student fulfills the terms of the performance plan, the student will be allowed to complete remaining program requirements.
Academic Standards
Faculty members in the Bill and Vieve Gore School of Business have developed the following academic standards to support the mission and goals of this program. The goals are presented here to help the student understand responsibilities as a student throughout the program.
A student should always be familiar with project requirements and assignment guidelines to avoid problems. The student should take every opportunity to consult with his or her Coach and Mentors to receive clarification when needed.
All work on all projects should be the original work of the student.
A student should always be respectful of faculty, staff, and other students in the program.
The program should most importantly be fun, intellectually challenging, and enjoyable. Students should push themselves, using every opportunity to participate and learn and get the most from the Westminster experience.
Plagiarism is a serious offense in academic and business settings. Plagiarism is a violation of the college's academic policy. Click here for further information on Academic Honesty. A student who violates the academic honesty policy may be suspended from the program.
Graduation Requirements
A candidate for graduation must consult their Program Assistant at the beginning of Project 4. The Program Assistant will assist the student in completion of the application for graduation for the next graduation period in the following December or May, or August, depending on the actual date of application. To be eligible for graduation, a student must satisfy the following conditions:
- Complete 124 credit hours
- Complete each project sequence successfully with a minimum evaluation of "Meets project standards"
A student should consult either the assigned Coach or the Program Assistant at any point when questions arise about graduation requirements.

Second, even if you find out the owner it could be in the name of a corporation. Off hand I can think of about 2-3 ways to obscure corporation ownership records so nobody can track it to the owner or at least not without a great deal of effort and probably expense.
Now maybe these guys are that sophisticated and a simple records search and some basic research will turn up the evidence if it exists.
Also, I might look for a good IT lawyer. Or, more to the point, a sleazy Tech Lawyer. I'm sure those guys know a PI or two...
Then ask your credit card company about the charges and the company behind them one at a time. I use the guise of not remembering using my card that day and if they could tell me more about the company it might help to remember... they always have some info on the company.
Tip for finding a good PI... maybe not internet PI but if you have company names that might be all he needs... but, Bail Bond places almost always have good PIs working for them on contract or staff.... asking them for a recommendation might be good.
Other clues to tie them together would be similar themed sites... recycled code, like CSS or JS, are they using the same checkout methods? Just by studying the websites themselves you should be able to see some trends that you can weigh in with.
[edited by: Demaestro at 4:54 pm (utc) on July 10, 2008]
This is definitely one of the first moves. Depending upon how these companies are set up (are locations and management diversified) they may be shipping from one location, using the same boxes and/or packaging materials, identical invoice/receipt setups, identical shipping label software... Even stealth shipping can leave a trail, typically ship from zip code.
Definitely the code itself could provide clues. They might be smart enough to vary the image packages, mix up the presentation, but unless they had different developers do each site, the coding could be as good as a fingerprint. Have the shuffled the deck on hosting? If not, another clue.
Been on both sides of this with the same company. One of our competitors in Niche A is well 'diversified'. They have six sites that I know of - all selling almost the exact same mix of products. They all are very different in appearance, and it looks like they had different designers do the work, but I have still been able to make definitive connections. Smart on their part - and on any owner's part. All of the sites rank pretty well, so they are protected from a big hit against any one site - always a smart play. Plus, they do a lot of black hat SEO and are very good at it, so need extra protection when a site blows up. (Wish I knew a fraction of the tricks that they know.)
On the other side, in Niche B, I am doing work for an owner that wants to hide the relationship between a wholesale operation and a retail operation. It's an open secret so a complete waste of time IMO. They take the easy wholesale cash, provide absolute minimal support to distributors and then use the funds to compete all out with their own retail operation; undercutting their own MSRP, offering 'exclusive' products that distributors can't have - real scumbag type operation but that's the SOP there. A shame. More upside in building the brand and distributor base than in gutting a 'capped' market. Any fool could connect the dots it is so pitiful, but that's not my call.
The topic is in Supporters but if you search your favorite SE, you'll easily find it. ;)
It's a great start at getting "overall pictures" and then drilling down to other levels. It may provide some clues as to whether or not your suspicions are accurate.
This is what "we" are doing almost to a "T." Different company registration, phone lines, site designers, DNS, IP, ...pick a detail and it differs...except that the retail sites' ship tickets have the same address as the wholesale business. Same warehouse... Different UPS accounts and all, but anyone missing the connection simply isn't looking.
This is not always true. I bought a book or something online from a web site I hadn't ever been to before, but came up in the search results. I should have known better, but bought the item anyway. Unfortunately the owner of the site was a dirt bag and sold or stole my credit card number and starting racking up charges at other online companies. I tried to call my credit card company to track down the problem, but these small e-tailers were using all kinds of proxies and third party agents to process transactions and do order fulfillment that it was impossible to find the actual company behind the mess. I ended up telling my credit card company that the card had been stolen and the account compromised. Once they closed the account and issued me a new card and new number the problem went away.
Now admittedly this happened almost 11 years ago so things may be a lot different now in terms of the credit card companies having more info on each company, but back then they didn't and I am not sure if that has changed today.

Ummm...Herm Edwards as soon as KC cans his ass. With all these firings tho I wouldn't be surprised if the Richardsons are sick of firing coordinators and assistants and just want to do away with the whole staff. If that is the case I would not be that upset. Fox pretty much put together that whole coaching staff, he promoted Turdo, he threw Henning under the bus (and we all saw what Henning did with Miami in one year), and now there are reports that he holds Davidson back from what he can call??? The ship is sinking fellas and the Richardsons better save it before our most gifted player gets away with little compensation in return. Or how about we trade him, he blows up and then Fox is exposed as someone who under-develops talent.

That's only Florio's take on it. It ain't necessarily so.Doesn't it say something about our organization that we are going to throw everything out to make one guy happy? How pathetic is that? It's bad enough that we don't bench guys after poor performances and now we're ready to burn down the barn when somebody doesn't like the color we painted it?
Posted 20 January 2009 - 02:40 AM
From Darin Gantt...Another dumb article by Florio.
Trgo's contract is not expired.
The reality is, every coach on the staff not named Fox had a contract which expired after the season, and they're scrambling to line up next year's staff before they leave Mobile this week.

More About:
While scoring manure piles, producers and nutritionists should check their herds' locomotion and body-condition scores, said Mike Hutjens, University of Illinois emeritus dairy nutritionist.
Or evaluate cows as they come from the milking parlor, he added.
The locomotion scoring system, developed by Michigan State University and Zinpro Corp., ranges from score 1 showing no lameness to 5 reflecting severe lameness. Hutjens scores about 30-50 cows at a time. A herd's locomotion score should have at least 75% of the cows score 1, about 15% score 2 and less than 10% score 3.
"And score 3 cows are what? Lame. Dry-matter intake goes down 3% and milk drops 5%," he said. "We should drop more milk than that. Those cows are now going to take that milk from their backs, which means they're not going to breed and they're going to become cull cows."
Body-condition scoring is rated from 1 as underconditioned, 2.75-3.25 as balanced, 4 as overconditioned and score 5 as obese, high-risk unhealthy cows. Hutjens wants to see no cows over 3.5 in body condition and no dropping of more than half a point as they start milking, but, "realistically, they may drop one score by 60 days after calving.
"Notice these are cows and not first-calf heifers," he said. "Cows that have a lower body condition have lower fertility, while cows with high body-condition scores experience high levels of metabolic challenges.
"I want less than 25% of my breeding pen below a 2.5, a late-lactation pen less than 25% over a 3.25, less than 25% of my dry-cow pens over 3.5 and less than 25% of my heifers over 3.25. I want my heifers lighter than my cows."

This article needs attention from an expert in Medicine. (November 2008) |
Phlegmon is a spreading diffuse inflammatory process with formation of suppurative/purulent exudate or pus. This is the result of acute purulent inflammation which may be related to bacterial infection, however the term 'phlegmon' mostly refers to a walled-off inflammatory mass without bacterial infection, one that may be palpable on physical examination.
An example would be phlegmon of diverticulitis. In this case a patient would present to the emergency department with left lower-quadrant abdominal tenderness, and the diagnosis of sigmoid diverticulitis would be high on the differential diagnosis, yet the best test to confirm it would be CT scan.[1]
Another example, phlegmon affecting the spine, is known as spondylodiscitis and is associated with endplate destruction and loss of disc height. In adults, the bone marrow is affected first, while in children, the disease starts in the disc itself and spreads rapidly to the adjacent vertebral bodies. Phlegmon in the spine can be a diffuse enhancement, or localized abscess, (peripheral enhancement) in the epidural, subligamentous or paraspinous spaces. Under MRI examination, phlegmon will show dark with T1, and high signal (bright) with T2.
Commonly by bacteria - streptococci, spore and non-spore forming anaerobes, etc.
Factors affecting the development of phlegmons are virulence of bacteria and immunity strength.
NB: severity of patient condition with phlegmons is directly proportional to the degree of intoxication level i.e. the more severe the condition, the higher the degree of intoxication level.
A noninfectious occurrence of phlegmon can be found in the acute pancreatitis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. The immunosuppressive aspects of this disease and the immunosuppressive medications used to treat it blunt each of the signs of infection.[2]
The main goal of treatment is to remove the cause of the phlegmonous process in order to achieve effective treatment and prevention of recidives.
If the patient's condition is mild and signs of inflammatory process are present without signs of infiltrates, then conservative treatment with antibiotics is sufficient.
If the patient's condition is severe, however, immediate operation is usually necessary with application of drainage system. All of these are done under general anaesthesia. During operation, the cavity or place of phlegmonous process are washed with antiseptic, antibiotic solutions and proteolyic ferments.
In post-operative period, patients are treated with intravenous antibiotics, haemosorbtion, vitaminotherapy. Additionally, the use of i/v or i/m antistaphylococci γ-globulin or anatoxin can be taken as immunotherapy.
During operation of phlegmon dissection at any location, it is important:

Warnock braced for Wigan bid
Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock admits he would not be surprised to see Wigan make a move for young striker Victor Moses. The Nigerian-born England Under-19 starlet, who can also play on the wing, is under contract until 2012, but the Latics are reportedly weighing up a £2.5million bid. And with new Wigan boss Roberto Martinez having seen Moses score against former club Swansea in March, Warnock believes the Spaniard could be lining up a bid. "I've not heard anything at all but it wouldn't surprise me," he said in the South London Press. "Victor was super at Swansea. "I had a good chat with Roberto after that match and told him that Victor would go on to play for one of the top-four clubs." The striker's advisor, Tony Finnigan, added: "I had dialogue last year with Swansea's chief scout and there are numerous other clubs in the Championship who would welcome Victor Moses as part of their squad, but the proof is in the pudding. "Talk is cheap. It's about making a physical offer and Crystal Palace deciding when they deem fit to accept any bid. "Only the manager can decide that."

Good Fit, Good Visibility
May 17, 2014
Trying the ole good suction test looking for new goggles
these instantly stuck to my face. Straight to the pool and they
stay sealed with nearly no strap tension. My only gripe is that
like so many goggles, the anti-fog claim is bunk. Fresh out of the
package, never even had water on the inside yet and they fogged
within 20min. I'd still recommend these goggles if they appear to
fit your face, just don't put any value on the Anti-fog claim. Use
a dab of baby shampoo and your all set.

Deep Vein Thrombosis Program at John C. Lincoln Deer Valley Hospital 19829 N. 27th Ave. Phoenix, AZ 85027 Google map and driving directions
» Request a referral to a John C. Lincoln DVT specialist in DVT symptoms
When symptoms of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) present themselves, it's clear that one has a problem requiring medical care. DVT symptoms can be extremely painful and easy to see. They are almost always concentrated in one leg — the site of a deep-vein blood clot.
Classic DVT symptoms include:
DVT symptoms can be progressive. Typically, a patient suffering from symptoms will begin to experience pain in one leg. Over the course of a few days, that leg may begin to swell or appear discolored. In time, the swelling and pain become so significant that the patient will seek treatment for DVT in a hospital emergency department or at a physician's office.
While these symptoms can be quite painful, it's important to remember that they are not apparent in nearly half of all DVT cases. In fact, the condition can go undetected for some time because deep-vein blood clots in legs can be too small to trigger obvious symptoms.
A long period of immobility — brought on by a long-haul airplane flight, extended road trip or a prolonged hospital stay — has been linked with symptoms of deep vein thrombosisoutlined above. Sitting uncomfortably on an airplane or in a cramped car for several hours can lead to slowed blood flow and pooling of blood in the lower leg.
The limited legroom common to "economy" rows of planes has given DVT the nickname "economy class syndrome." Yet, it is yet to be proven whether travel-related symptoms of deep vein thrombosis are brought on by immobility or common DVT risk factors.
You should see your physician if you experience symptoms of deep vein thrombosis and you're linked to the following risk factors of DVT:
Women with increased estrogen can be at risk of developing DVT. Estrogen produces chemicals that increase blood's ability to clot. Therefore, women can be at a higher risk of DVT when:
Other DVT risk factors include age (age increases risk of DVT), obesity, smoking and high blood pressure.

Team engineering aims to develop the essential professional engineering skill of working with others. You'll work as part of a small project team, formed at the first weekend residential school. Projects will encompass a broad sweep of engineering, requiring cooperative development of the knowledge and skills needed to analyse an engineering system and produce a revised specification for that system. You'll work together in a team via email, telephone and online conferencing, under guidance from your tutor. Your team's results will be presented and assessed at the second residential weekend school and through submission of a written report.
Registration closes 14/08/15 (places subject to availability)
Registration closes 18/12/15 (places subject to availability)
This module provides an opportunity for you to explore an engineering 'problem' in depth, working as part of a small team. The problem could be developing a product, such as a bicycle, improving a manufacturing process, such as forming steel sheet, or working with a variety of other engineering systems. Whatever the problem, its investigation will cover technical, social/environmental and business aspects and may include a computing/software dimension.
You will attend two weekend residential schools that run over three days, from Friday to Sunday. At the first one, which takes place at the very start of the module, you will learn about functioning effectively as a team and get to know each other by confronting a variety of practical and intellectual challenges. You will join with fellow students to form a team of about five. Your team will select its engineering problem from those on offer and refine it into a 'project'.
After the first weekend, and working at a distance from the other team members, you will individually and jointly pursue agreed lines of enquiry on your engineering project. Your progress through the project is charted in your team wiki, in online video conference records of team meetings and in team and individual reports, submitted as tutor-marked assignments.
All the teams will report back at the second residential weekend some 20 weeks later. This will give you a chance to engage in discussions with other students and staff members before developing a plan for your final project report, which is your end-of-module assessment (EMA). This is submitted several weeks later.
This is a not a content-focused module. Instead, you and your team will be responsible for gathering together the information you need to pursue your project. You will be supplied with a project brief and with background material about group working and project management. You will have access to a full range of information resources through the internet and online or conventional libraries. You will keep in touch with your tutor and work collaboratively with your fellow team members through email, your team wiki, and online meetings and forums.
This module will be the culmination of work towards your Master of Engineering (M04) or Postgraduate Diploma in Engineering (E22) – and is aimed at providing the academic base for professional recognition as a Chartered Engineer.
Satisfactory attendance at the first residential school is required. Non-attendance at the first weekend will result in you being withdrawn from this module and losing a proportion of fees paid, the remainder of which can be used as a discount towards the cost of the same or another module if used within 18 months of the start of T885.
Should you not be able to attend the second residential weekend, you will lose a proportion of the continuous assessment marks for this module. If a number of students from the same team are unable to attend the second residential weekend, this may affect the team's score for the team presentation to be given at the second residential school (EMA03).
Residential weekends for the module starting in September are usually in September and February. For the module starting in January, the residential weekends are usually in January and June.
The cost of the residential weekends, including accommodation and meals but excluding travel, is included in the fee.
Registration is restricted to those who have satisfactorily completed 90 credits of approved postgraduate study and who have otherwise completed the requirements for the Master of Engineering (M04) or the Postgraduate Diploma in Engineering (E22).
After you have reserved a place on this module, we will check that you fulfil the entry requirements and your reservation may be cancelled if you do not. We aim to confirm about your place on the module within two weeks.
Your spoken and written English must be of an adequate standard for postgraduate study. If English is not your first language, we recommend that you will need a minimum overall score of 6 and minimum score of 5.5 in each of the four components: reading, writing, speaking and listening under the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Please see the IELTS website for details.
If you have any doubt about the suitability of the module, please speak to an adviser.
The module is suitable for a European-wide audience, but you must attend the UK-based residential schools.
T885 is a compulsory module in our:
This module can also count towards M03 which is no longer available to new students.
Some postgraduate qualifications allow study to be chosen from other subject areas. These qualifications allow most postgraduate modules to count towards them. We advise you to refer to the relevant qualification descriptions for information on the circumstances in which this module can count towards these qualifications because from time to time the structure and requirements may change.
As a student of The Open University, you should be aware of the content of the Module Regulations and the Student Regulations which are available on our Essential documents website.
Written transcripts of any audio components and Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) versions of printed material are available. Some Adobe PDF components may not be available or fully accessible using a screen reader. Alternative formats of the study materials may be available in the future.
You may find Day 2 of the residential school tiring, when sessions begin at 09:00 and end at approximately 21:00. There is a 15-minute break in the morning and afternoon, 45 minutes for lunch and an hour for dinner.
If you have particular study requirements please tell us as soon as possible, as some of our support services may take several weeks to arrange. Find out more about our services for disabled students.

Astonishing Collection of Artistic Underwater Photos. Water is the universal solvent, it can dissolve almost anything in itself, including beauty, passion and art.
Today, I'll be focusing on the beauty, passion and art part. This is a collection of artistic photography taken under water, in oceans, rivers and anywhere in the waters. We have shared such conceptual photos previously, such as 30 Breath-Taking Underwater Portrait Photography and recently published Spectacular Examples of Ocean Life Photography but this post has a different flavor, it is garnished with my favorite spices; art and beauty.

Kha'Zix gave a mental sigh. He'll have to take a risk, something he was use to. He swiftly and silently moved behind her. He used Taste Their Fear on her legs, dealing more damage due to her isolation, and because of the damage she already took.
Snowy Poro
The pain of the attack was dulled by the shield somewhat and in an instant, Leona spun around and swung her shield at the insect
Kha'Zix let out a grunt as he blocked some of the damage with the flatter and more blunt side of his claws. He leaped over Leona with blinding speed and shot off three spikes at point blank. This would be able to do damage effectively with the three spikes and heal the damage he took.
Leona swung her shield back, catching two of the spikes but one was allowed to slip through, catching her in the side. She quickly ripped it out and charged her shield with Sunlight, charging Kah'Zix with it
Kha'Zix saw the sunlight charge up, and dove out of the way. He hit the ground hard and quickly got up. He smiled. "Mmmmm... Another challenge..." He said as he licked the blood off his claws. His eyes widened in joy at the taste. He wanted more. He wanted her, on the ground, body open for him to devour. He got into a stance again, letting her do the first strike this time.
Leona spun around and launched her Zenith Blade at him, looking to close the gap
Oh lord how OBVIOUS! Kha'Zix moved out of the way, and while she casted her blade he darted to her side, doing another Taste Their Fear on the arm that held her shield, the same spot he had hit her with Unseen Threat.
Leona smirked as his claws hit her arm, again, the Sunlight shield absorbing most of the damage. She then simply swung her sword around at him, her shield reaching it's limits and bursting, showering Sunlight all around her
Kha'Zix was blown back from the explosion of sunlight. He just fought through it, as his blood craze was slowly taking over him. Now that shield was gone, time to go to work. He cloaked again, silently moving, and moved around her to stab her in the same spot where he hit her leg.

Trayvon Martin Killing: Why George Zimmerman Could Still Totally Get Away With It
Zimmerman, after an unrelated 2005 arrest. |
Fields, after the saloon incident. |
...law does not require defendant to prove self-defense to any standard measuring assurance of truth, exigency, near certainty, or even mere probability; defendant's only burden is to offer facts from which his resort to force could have been reasonable...
The State has the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did not act in self-defense.
When a defendant claims self-defense, the State maintains the burden of proving the defendant committed the crime and did not act in self-defense. The burden never shifts to the defendant to prove self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt. Rather, he must simply present enough evidence to support giving the instruction.

One From The UK: 30 years of books for children divide Ion and Lusa Thomas from their children. In some respects the children's choice of stories is similar to that of their parents - right down to the titles in the case of Asterix and Tintin.
But generally today's children have a much broader range of books and authors to choose from. The subjects covered are more diverse than in the early 1970s, when adventure books were the staple fare for young readers.
