Hi all, I am new to aquascaping world and I hope to learn lots and also contribute in anyway I can to this community. A little history: I have a 3 feet planted tank for about 3 months now. 36x18x18 Actual aquarium space is 2 1/2 feet with the other 1/2 feet being internal over and under flow system (IOUS Tank) I'm using riversand mix with aquarium soil as substrate I have a chiller due to where I'm located without one temperature would be in the 31 degrees celsius range. I have co2 running at about 3 bps. Light are 2x39 watts 10000k t5 for 7 hours And 2x18 watt 6700k t8 for 5 hours in between. Everything is working fine with healthy fauna and pearling plants Recently my friend pass me his marine tank with sump. A 4x2x2 with a 3x1.5x1.5 sump. There are some salt creeps in the tank(the sump is fine though) Will a thorough rinse be enough for me to use it as planted tank (with some salt creep stains still in tank) or Do I need to clean and soak in diluted vinegar and scrape off whatever salt creep I can reach before it safe to be used as planted tank. I have google for answers but most result is showing how to clean salt creep but I wanna know wether some salt creep is safe or not. Thanks
I am no expert but here is my two cents worth... BOIL EVERYTHING! A little salt won't hurt but you might have to moniter its PPMs somehow. As long as everything that can be removed is taken out, boiled, soaked in vinegar, and rinsed then you should be o.k. Any filter materials should be boiled and the media discarded ( I know that you know this but I thought that I would say it anyway). To a certain extent you will be adding 'salts' in the form of ferts already and depending on the types of fish that you will be keeping in this tank they should not be affected by any residual salts that might still exist...(probably be good for them). Some aquarists add a pinch of salt to their tanks to keep the fish healthy and aid in osmosis. There is a post on epsom salts that Shadow and I fleshed out that might give some info as well. So I say go for it and get scrubbing. The cleaner your tank is inside the more soundly your fish will sleep and swim. The living planet aquarium here in SLC have huge sump tanks and unseen tubs full of bio balls for their fresh water fish as well as salt. Every tank has one and they personally drilled the holes on all of them. Their pumps are real work horses and turn the water column over very efficiently. I would say that having this salt to fresh conversion is a blessing in disguise. You can add extra bio habitat balls or what have you to promote healthy bacteria for your tank. Just do your best to start out with a 'clean slate'...and take pics as well. We all like to see the progress that you make. Good luck and keep us posted---R
Tank Cleaned Thanks for the luck R, With my very tight schedule and even tighter budget I need all the luck in this new project. I have researched for 3 months about using sump tank setup for planted aquarium before deciding on it. Indeed it's a blessing in disguise. I have checked herbie and beanimal overflow setup for silent overflow which I may incorporate. Definitely will start a journal with tons of pic. Thanks for your pointers, will look out for the Epsom salt article. Both tank and sump was given to me bare/empty. Came with dymax 5000 return pump. These are the steps that I took to (hopefully) clear the tank of any/most residual salts. ROUND 1 1) fill up both pump and sump circulate for 24hrs 2) I intended to put a heater in to raise water temperature to 30-31 degC but heat from the dymax pump itself increased the temperature to 32 degC. (on a side note, I really need some good suggestion for return pump) 3) After 24hrs I stopped the circulation and started scrapping of the dried coraline algae and whatever salt creep that I can reach with a metal pole(since most salt creep and coraline algae was at the back and overflow compartment of the tank I was not concerned about scratching the tank). All coraline algae came off rather easily and manage to clear about 95% of salt creep/caked coral sand/dirt in the tank. 4) drained out the water/siphoned most of the dirt which was in the tank. ROUND 2 The 1st round I just work on the main tank. 2nd round will be working on both main and sump tank. 1) refill tank with water 2) scrap more residual stuff from during marine tank setup. Manage to clear another 1%-2% 3) circulate for half hour to diluted sump tank further 4) drain/siphon water/dirt from main tank 5) wipe clean and dry main tank 6) drain/siphon water/dirt from sump tank 7) wipe clean and dry sump tank This is what I have done so far. Have not used soap, bleach or vinegar. Question - you guys think I have rinsed and cleaned enough? Or do I really need to soak tank in vinegar like what most tank conversion article is suggesting. Thanks again
Thanks Tom will definite post there too. If I may ask 1 question. I have read your many post in many forums regarding sump tank setup and you recommend sealing with tape the overflow compartment to minimize CO2 losses. Do I seal just the overflow compartment of the sump or do I seal as many compartment as i can. I understand that the return compartment won't be sealed. Thanks
I just seal the wet/dry tower section, not the open part of the sump: You can see silver duct tape on this wet/dry filter The open part is placid, like the tank's surface, so very little CO2 is lost there. Some folks have used the sealed dry part as a giant CO2 reactor also.
Also, vinegar won't hurt anything if used to clean. micro organisms will brake it down and it will help with scraping crustys off of your tank. I would follow plant brains instructions to the letter. The man knows his stuff and won't steer you wrong. Good luck and I think that even with all of the work ...you are very lucky to have such a set up. best wishes---R
Thanks for the encouragement R. Oh.. and I have been reading alot of Tom's post and articles which is easily found. Progress have been slow but it's still on going. One other problem I'm facing is a place constraints. I need to shift out my fauna from my current tank while I'm setting up my new tank. No space to keep to tank at a go. I was thinking using the sump as a hold up running on eheim canisters while the main tank gets cleaned and done. Hmmm... Maybe it's time I started the journa.l

Hi: 11° Lo:3°
THERE was triple success for Bromsgrove Bears' National League teams at the weekend as the u16 girls, women and men all recorded victories.
The u16 girls overcame Bucks Hornets 62-49 with u16 England international Rebecca Taylor leading the team well.
She scored some crucial points in the final quarter to seal the victory whilst Shanice Turner showed great control and Victoria McGachies tremendous energy.
That triumph was followed by the women securing a fantastic 53-51 victory against top of the table Bristol Storm.
Bears came out strongly and led from the first buzzer with Cooper and Hall shooting well whilst Allen was on hand to convert any rebounds.
Yang ran the floor well too, scoring off fast breaks to give three Bears double figures at the end of the game. Cooper with 21 personal points, Allen with 12 and Yang with ten.
Bears went in 25-21 ahead at half time and maintained their lead throughout the second half.
Bristol applied pressure late on to set up a tense finish but two crucial free throws from Allen and Cooper's three-pointer gave Bears the victory.
The men comfortable overcame College of West Anglia, finishing almost 30 points clear at the end of the fourth quarter.
Dominant from the start, Bears led 28-14 at halfway and continued to shine with McLean getting eight rebounds on a night when the home side were without head coach Simon Fisher but Liam Sheridan stepped in as player-coach and did a fine job.
The top three scorers were Bett with 19 points, Hall and Johns with 11 and Bolsher with ten points.
The u15 Boys tackled Derby and ended up falling just seven points short.
Liam Healey top scored with 21 points and coach Liam Sheridan declared himself pleased with the performance and the many positives that came from the game.

Parents Can't Help what their children doSubmitted by TC citizen (not verified) on Fri, 03/23/2012 - 7:38pm.
I agree that Parents can not control what their children do...but then we have to look back when we were raising them and try to figure out what went wrong?? Did I give into their wishes to much? Did I not spank them over the right things? »

Ray Bradbury remembered for sci-fi classic 'Fahrenheit 451' and other literature
Although involved in many futuristic projects, including the New York World's Fair of 1964 and the Spaceship Earth display at Walt Disney World in Florida, Bradbury was deeply attached to the past. He refused to drive a car or fly, telling the AP that witnessing a fatal traffic accident as a child left behind a permanent fear of automobiles. In his younger years, he got around by bicycle or roller-skates.
"I'm not afraid of machines," he told Writer's Digest in 1976. "I don't think the robots are taking over. I think the men who play with toys have taken over. And if we don't take the toys out of their hands, we're fools."
Bradbury's literary style was honed in pulp magazines and influenced by Ernest Hemingway and Thomas Wolfe, and he became the rare science fiction writer treated seriously by the literary world. In 2007, he received a special Pulitzer Prize citation "for his distinguished, prolific and deeply influential career as an unmatched author of science fiction and fantasy." Seven years earlier, he received an honorary National Book Award medal for lifetime achievement, an honor given to Philip Roth and Arthur Miller among others.

Re: Boat Size
Not that I live aboard with kids........but the few I know that do so, have boats in the 40-45 even 50' long. As noted, have space for ea kid per say, a boat that can handle any kind of weather etc.
This is no different than my taking my kids out with a RV trailer we had. Ours was 24' long, about as short as we could get away with for how we used it. If it would have been much longer than weekends during ski season, maybe a week or two in the summer. A MUCH bigger trailer would have been needed. Boating is the same. Are you weekending, or full timing, to something in the middle. By the way, there is a really nice ready to go Jeanneau SO49iP in the NW. Owner took his twin daughters and spouse on a round the pacific trip. Boat is still ready to go! Altho with close to 8' of draft, east coasters may find it too confining. Here in puget sound, along the pacific etc, no issues.

Sauk Rapids Mayor Not Resigning
SAUK RAPIDS, Minn. (AP) - The mayor of the central Minnesota city of Sauk Rapids says he won't resign, despite numerous calls for him to step down following his drunken driving arrest.
Mayor Brad Gunderson told a packed City Council meeting Monday night that he was sorry for his "bad judgment" in his Feb. 17 arrest. Gunderson is in the first months of his new role as mayor and says he will not voluntarily step down. More than a half dozen residents called for his resignation during the meeting, including Mike Aurelius.
He told KNSI it's unacceptable that the mayor drove a bus for disabled riders, including his son, the morning after his drunken driving arrest. Gunderson was later suspended from the bus service.
The council agreed to draft a resolution saying it doesn't condone the mayor's actions.

Sean Long, a former Great Britain international, has appeared in court charged with assault. The 36-year-old former St Helens half-back appeared before magistrates charged with assaulting a woman. He has already pleaded not guilty. A three-day trial was set for 12 June and Long was granted bail. The allegations have been made by a former tenant of a property that Long owned and go back to last May, the court heard. Long hung up his boots after an injury-hit couple of seasons with Hull FC following a glittering career with Saints. He began playing rugby union with the National League North 2 side Preston Grasshoppers last season while also taking on the role of assistant coach at Salford City Reds.

Its a catholic school, they can do whatever da fcuk they want. I mean their main premise is forcing religion on those poor kids which is basically telling them everything is a sin and if they do it they're going to hell
Undisputed Champion
Certainly some permissions are required with quite a few restrictions ..... I do know that suicide prevention is part of the Catholic agenda .... just not that young. From what I've found on the net .... the age is from 10 - 19 with explicit permissions being required "Parents need to be informed and actively involved in decisions regarding their child***8217;s welfare". Parents have a prominent and influential role to play in Catholic education. They are recognized as the primary educators of children. The Catholic school welcomes parents and engages in meaningful dialogue with them throughout their child***8217;s time at school. http://catholiceducation-ni.com Last edited by arraamis; 10-25-2012 at 01:16 AM.. |

Fisher, despite being a known actress in her own right, hears enough about her fiancé, Sacha Baron Cohen, that she has established a firm policy in interviews: no talking about him or their daughter, Olive. When asked what he's like, she'll only say, "mysterious and interesting."

Any way you can get a closer image of leaves? At a glance I'd wanted to say a type of Sedum or Stonecrop….but……………and…er….your idea of copper looks like my idea of purple? Copper to me is more of a gold/orange in color…but this looks more like purple/red to me. Not sure if I'm looking at the same way you are. :o(
Thank you, Carla. This picture was taken in strong sunlight on an afternoon early in June. The camera's settings were at default. I have noticed a difference in the way colours are displayed (warm or cool) in different camera and on different monitors. Comparing my desktop computer monitor with my husband's and with my laptop, I find that colours display truer on my desktop computer screen than on the other two. It often makes me wonder what other people are seeing – or not seeing – on their screens! We can only work with web safe colours in photo editing programmes and the way colours mix with light and with inks is also different. Even in real life, the colours of nature appear different according to the light. I think that these leaves might have displayed differently in other light conditions, so you could well be right. One thing is certain… They were definitely not green! From now on, I'll pay more attention, when actually taking the shots. Thank you for your help. A very happy Easter to you!

Thank you, Corri.

Mike Trout, Bryce Harper top rookies
NEW YORK -- Mike Trout and Bryce Harper were teammates on the Scottsdale Scorpions last fall. The outfielders arrived in the major leagues on the same April day this year, both played in the All-Star Game and they won Rookie of the Year awards a half-hour apart Monday, the vanguard of baseball's next generation.
More Rookies of Year Coverage
American League
ESPN Los Angeles' Ramona Shelburne reflects on Los Angeles Angels phenom Mike Trout's improbable first season. Story
• Stats & Info: Trout dominant in '12
• Trout Photo Gallery | ESPN LA
National League
NL Rookie of the Year was a tough call, but Bryce Harper was the right choice. Keith Law (who voted on this award) explains why. Story
• Kahrl: Down ballot drama
• Stats & Info: Late surge helps Harper
The 21-year-old Trout was a unanimous pick as the youngest AL rookie winner, and the 20-year-old Harper edged Arizona pitcher Wade Miley 112 points to 105 to become the second-youngest winner of the NL honor.
"It's pretty neat," said Trout, the son of former Minnesota minor leaguer Jeff Trout.
For the first time, players learned the voting results when they were announced on television.
"My heart was beating a little bit," Harper said.
Trout, who turned 21 on Aug. 7, received all 28 first-place votes from the AL panel of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. The Los Angeles Angels center fielder was the eighth unanimous AL pick and the first since Tampa Bay's Evan Longoria in 2008.
There could be more to come, too. Trout is among five finalists for AL MVP and is considered the chief challenger to Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera for that award, which will be announced Thursday.
"It would just top it off," Trout said.
Trout hit .326, second-best in the league to Cabrera's .330, with 30 homers and 83 RBIs, and he led the majors with 129 runs and 49 steals. He joined Ted Williams, Mel Ott and Alex Rodriguez as the only players to hit .320 or higher with 30 or more homers in seasons they started as a 20-year-old.
Trout received the maximum 140 points. Oakland outfielder Yoenis Cespedes was second with 63, followed by Texas pitcher Yu Darvish (46), who joined Trout as the only players listed on every ballot.
Detroit second baseman Lou Whitaker had been the youngest AL winner in 1978, but he was 3 months, 5 days older than Trout on the day he took home the award.
In addition to Trout and Longoria, the only other unanimous AL winners were Nomar Garciaparra, Derek Jeter, Tim Salmon, Sandy Alomar Jr., Mark McGwire and Carlton Fisk.
Trout's father made it to Double-A as an infielder with the Twins in the mid-1980s and watched his son build a career growing up in New Jersey, where the seasons are short and cold.
"He went out and did it and endured it," Jeff Trout said.
Added mom Debbie: "All the hard work paid off."
Rookies of the Year
Bryce Harper, who batted .270 with 22 home runs and 59 RBIs, was voted the second-youngest winner of the NL honor.
Player | Points | 1st-place votes |
Bryce Harper, Nationals |
112 | 16 |
Wade Miley, D-backs |
105 | 12 |
Todd Frazier, Reds |
45 | 3 |
Mike Trout, who hit .326 with 30 homers and 83 RBIs following his call-up from the minor leagues in late April, became the youngest AL Rookie of the Year.
Player | Points | 1st-place votes |
Mike Trout, Angels |
140 | 28 |
Yoenis Cespedes, Athletics |
63 | 0 |
Yu Darvish, Rangers |
46 | 0 |
Trout, taken by the Angels with the 25th overall pick in the 2009 amateur draft, still lives at home with his parents during the offseason. The award will join others in the family house.
"He gets a lot of good home cooking," Jeff Trout said.
Trout spent some time in the majors last year but still retained his rookie status. He began this season in the minors and made his first big league appearance this year on April 28 -- the day of Harper's major league debut.
Trout was on a flight from Salt Lake City to Cleveland when he saw on Twitter that Harper was being called up the same day.
Harper turned 20 on Oct. 16 and has been hyped for years. When he was just 16, he appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated with the headline "CHOSEN ONE."
"He's been put on the spotlight since he was 15 years old," Trout said.
The Washington Nationals outfielder got 16 of 32 first-place votes from the NL panel. Miley was second with 12 first-place votes, followed by Cincinnati slugger Todd Frazier with three firsts and 45 points. Harper appeared on every ballot, and Bill Center of U-T San Diego was the only voter who didn't include Miley.
Harper was the top pick in the 2010 amateur draft and batted .270 with 22 home runs and 59 RBIs as Washington brought postseason play to the nation's capital for the first time since 1933. Only Tony Conigliaro (24) hit more home runs as a teenager.
"Every little kid's dream is to be a big league ballplayer or a doctor or a firefighter or whatever everybody wants to be," Harper said. "That was my dream and I wanted to make that dream come true as quickly as possible."
At 20 years, 27 days on Monday, he was 24 days older than New York Mets pitcher Dwight Gooden when he won the NL award in 1984.
"This game is unbelievable. I love it with everything I've got," Harper said, "and I'm going to play every single day like it's my last."
And the admiration of Harper and Trout is mutual, especially after their time together last year with Scottsdale in the Arizona Fall League, for the game's premier prospects.
"He's one of the best players in baseball, if not the best right now," Harper said. "He's pretty impressive every day he plays."
For now, each has a rookie award. In the future, they may earn MVPs on the same day.
"We play the game the right way," Trout said. "We're always running out balls. He's always hustling, trying to make that big play."
For winning the award, Trout earned a $10,000 bonus on top of his $482,500 salary. ... Harper became the first Nationals player to win a BBWAA award since the franchise moved from Montreal to Washington in 2005. ... Under a new format this year, both league's winners are announced on the same day with the winner revealed on the MLB Network. Manager of the Year voting will be revealed Tuesday, followed by the Cy Young Awards on Wednesday and MVPs the following day.

Sonnier was found dead Lubbock home on July 11th, 2012. Authorities have also charged Dr. Thomas Dixon, of Amarillo, for the murder, as well.
According to the arrest warrant, police believe Dixon hired Shepard to murder Sonnier. The warrant goes on to detail how Shepard told his roommate he had been watching Sonnier for weeks leading up to his death, and then also described how he broke into Sonnier's home and shot him multiple times.
The two men were indicted on capital murder charges in August 2012, and have been held in the Lubbock County Jail on $10 million dollar bonds since their arrests. Lubbock District Attorney Matt Powell said in July 2013 that capital murder charges could mean either the death penalty or life in prison without parole, although the DA's office has not made a decision.
Sentencing for Shepard will happen in the next few weeks.

Dillian: Despite S&P 2000, This Is No Bubble
Editor's Note: This article was originally published at 9 a.m. on Real Money on Aug. 26. Sign up for a free trial of Real Money.
As everyone knows by now, the S&P 500 breached 2000 yesterday. Round numbers are pretty arbitrary, but they do have significance. Let's discuss.
I had a little extra time yesterday afternoon, so I set down to reading a set of lecture notes from Peter Thiel's class at Stanford. Quick story: I heard through the grapevine that the faculty at Stanford was very unhappy at the prospect of Peter Thiel teaching a class. After all, he was this unwashed practitioner without a PhD. After a bit of wrangling, the university listed his class. It filled up in the span of a minute.
Peter Thiel was talking at length about his experience in the 1990s. We tend to think that the 1990s was all a stock-market bubble, but nothing could be further from the truth. It started as a really bad, awful recession, and the recovery from it was very weak. If you were an investor at the time, you looked around and saw that emerging markets were a basket case, uninvestable. Europe was stagnant. Then you had the Asian financial crisis and the Russian debt default. In a lot of ways, tech was the only asset class that wasn't unattractive for some reason.
So throughout the 90s, even though stocks went up a lot, the market kind of limped along from crisis to crisis and there was a lot of lingering pessimism throughout the decade on account of the recession and the subsequent "jobless recovery." It was a long bull market, but it didn't feel like one. People were pretty much miserable up until 1998. Thiel points out that the bubble really only lasted 18 months, the period of time following September 1998, and he talks a lot about how there was a lot of shady stuff going on. I kind of forget this. When people are just throwing money around, some less-than-scrupulous characters will show up to grab some of it. He had a story of South Korean investors trying to invest in PayPal (now owned by eBay (EBAY - Get Report) ). They wired $5 million without any documents or instructions, and when PayPal tried to send the money back, the South Koreans wouldn't give them wire instructions. So I spend a lot of time talking about how tech is way overpriced and could potentially be a bubble, but after reading some of Peter Thiel, I got a little perspective about what a bubble is. Of course he talked about VA Linux and the 1,000% initial public offering, and a bunch of other stuff. The reality is that, yes, there are a lot of things about tech right now that are goofy -- Bay Area real estate valuations, the Facebook (FB - Get Report) -WhatsApp deal, venture capitalists ending up on the cover of magazines. But it's not yet a bubble -- and it's hard to imagine what would cause a protracted downturn. So, in thinking about this, I have to admit that the circumstances are pretty similar. As we know from years of experience, pessimism is rocket fuel for bull markets. Certainly there would be no optimism anywhere in sight for years, maybe decades, after almost blowing up the planet. There are a lot of great things happening, and not just in tech -- and yet we always seem to find a reason to be worried about something. So this is what I have to say as the S&P crosses 2000. As much as I think the market is overextended and technically unhealthy, as much as I think credit is overpriced, as much as I think companies are releveraging and abusing bondholders and as much as I think the Federal Reserve has created a situation where losses are asymmetrical to gains, it's hard to see the catalyst for a selloff here, as much as it pains me to say it. It will happen when it happens. Thiel started his class off by talking about how it is difficult to understand what's going on today if you hadn't lived through the 1990s. He's absolutely right.Select the service that is right for you!

RALEIGH, North Carolina — A mediator will try to help settle a legal fight between North Carolina and environmental groups over a replacement bridge for the span linking inhabited Hatteras Island to the mainland Outer Banks.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reports (http://bit.ly/1FJeHuN ) that the state Department of Transportation and Southern Environmental Law Center made the request jointly to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The court agreed late last week.
Lawsuits have delayed construction of a 2.8-mile bridge over Oregon Inlet that mirrors the path of the current Bonner Bridge, built in 1963 and designed to last 30 years. The center's plaintiffs prefer a 17-mile bridge going into Pamlico Sound to avoid the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge.
The appeals court panel issued a mixed-bag ruling in August for both sides.

Four patients (two males and two females, ages 12-21 years) had clinical features of the Cushing syndrome. Results of biochemical tests (in three patients tested) suggested the presence of an autonomously functioning adrenocortical neoplasm. However, radiologic examination of the adrenals did not show an adrenal tumor. The four patients underwent curative bilateral total adrenalectomy and did not manifest the Nelson syndrome postoperatively (follow-up, 2-22 years). The adrenal pathologic findings in these patients were similar. Gross findings included: 1) decreased, normal, or slightly increased total gland weight; 2) studding of the external and cut surfaces by small (less than 4 mm) black, brown, dark-green , red, or (rarely) yellow nodules; and 3) cortical atrophy and disorganization of the normal zonation between the nodules. Microscopically, the nodules were composed predominantly of enlarged, globular, cortical cells with granular eosinophilic cytoplasm that often contained lipofuscin. Twenty-four similar cases have been reported. Findings in these plus our four cases identify a special type of adrenocortical pathology associated with Cushing syndrome, for which we suggest the name "primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease."

Amy Seiwert has been touted as one of the most promising up-and-coming choreographers on the west coast. On Friday, Anchorage dance fans could judge for themselves as Alaska Dance Theatre premiered her latest work, "Monuments," as part of its "Intersections" program.
In the program notes, Seiwert suggested that the work was a "reflection" of the monumental landscapes of Alaska. She used lethargic, minimalist music by cellist Hildur Gudnadottir that she called, "the perfect manifestation of the north's tremendous terrain."
That's about as accurate as saying Seiwert's choreography was a commentary on the economic crisis in Cyprus and the response to it by the European Union's Central Bank. In fact it's abstract work, as she notes, where the forms and imagery imply no narrative.
But the slow motion moves matched the music in a way that was almost hypnotic and was certainly graceful, with several moments of surprise and beauty. "Monuments" opened with the company of eight dancers in something of a mound, with one man standing above the rest, raising his arms. The initial impression was chaos, but they quickly split into couples and what followed was notably formal.
In ADT's "Cash and Cline" show a few weeks ago, Elizel Long dominated the rest of the cast. Here, however, the ensemble was the star. Even when Long and Barry Kerollis had the spotlight in the First Movement, one was drawn to the precision of the other three couples in their matched movements and poses.
Among the vivid gestures that recurred were a move in which a male dancer lifted a female dancer from behind, her arms and legs stiff and at right angles from the body, as if she were sitting in a chair. At one point the women stood like rods while the men made hoops with their arms that they lowered vertically by bending their knees; I was reminded of someone playing a theramin, an antique electronic instrument whose sound was somewhat suggested by Gudnadottir's cello. Yet another gesture involved performers holding their hands at mouth-height, spaced about a foot apart, as if playing pan pipes or maybe a chromatic harmonica.
One felt something profound in the piece, but I fear the most tenacious feeling may be one of tedium engendered in no small part by the music. That "Monuments" was not entirely demolished by it is probably due to the choreographer's inventive talent and the fact that she stopped her piece before it went on too long.
Gillmer Duran's "Tyranny of the Senses" went too long, however. This was not new work, having been seen at the "Intersections" concert in April 2011. (Read the review here.) At that time I found it "enduring." A review in the Eugene, Ore. Register-Guard later that year said it needed editing. That reviewer was right, I was wrong. But Long's presence in the Duran work was, again, galvanizing if not outstanding in a troupe that is all quite good.
The "Intersections" program will be presented once again at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets are available at centertix.net.
Meanwhile, at UAA, the annual "New Dances" concert with 50 performers is presenting ten brand new pieces of choreography, 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 6 p.m. Sunday through April 21.

Managing risk in biopharmaceutical operations is of utmost importance for patient protection, ensuring that only the highest quality products are developed and distributed. A quality risk-management program systematically identifies and analyzes the risks associated with a product or process, mitigates those risks deemed unacceptable, and monitors the overall risk profile as conditions change. These programs facilitate more informed decision-making within a company regarding a product's quality and provide greater assurance to a company's stakeholders of the ability to deliver the highest quality product to patients. In this paper, the authors describe risk-assessment tools used in change control.
According to the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Q9 guidance, Quality Risk Management, all manufacturing processes carry certain, inherent risks (1). It is, therefore, essential that these risks are assessed and mitigated throughout the product lifecycle. Risk assessment is especially critical when changes are made to validated processes or systems to ensure the integrity of the product is preserved as the risk profile evolves. Not all risks pose a concern; it is important to distinguish between risks that are problematic and require mitigation efforts and those that do not. Thus, an effective risk assessment will ensure that maximal resources are directed towards products, equipment, and processes deemed high risk and minimal resources towards those deemed low risk.
Less-formal tools for managing change control
There are two primary goals in the assessment of risk when managing change: to assure that a company is not taking on additional risk by making the change, and to ensure the success and effectiveness of the change through the identification of risk mitigation activities to be implemented in parallel with the change. The risk tools selected to assess changes should also be simple enough to use in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and clearly communicate the scope and impact of the change to all stakeholders. CM and REM are two such tools.
Both the CM and REM have a foundation in critical parameters—that is, categories of attributes that are deemed critical to the proper functioning of a system and must be considered to fully characterize the implications of a given change. Critical parameters are system-specific and should capture such elements as critical quality attributes (CQAs), critical or key process parameters (CPPs/KPPs), critical aspects (CAs) of equipment, system capacity, process capability, raw materials, and product-contact materials. These critical parameters will serve as the input into the risk assessment process.

In addition to the basic history major, there are two optional specializations for students majoring in history:
• Students who want to teach history at the secondary level may seek Secondary Education Certification in History. To do so they must take the specific history, social science, and education requirements found in the Hood College catalog. You must register for the certification program in the second semester of your first year. For History Secondary Education contact Dr. Jennifer Cuddapah, Program Coordinator, for an advising appointment: 301-696-3773; email@example.com.
• The Public History Concentration prepares students for careers in museum work, state and national parks, historic sites, historical societies, public and private archives, historic preservation, and government agencies that employ historians; or for graduate study in non-academic historical fields. For the Concentration, talk with your academic advisor or the History Department chair.
Here are some other things to consider:
Every history major is encouraged to do a history internship after completing 9 or more credits of history coursework. Students should discuss the internship process with their history adviser and with the internship adviser in the Career Center.
History majors who wish to study abroad in the junior year should keep this plan in mind when scheduling courses each semester. If they wish to study in a country where a foreign language is spoken, they must be sure to enroll in the appropriate language courses at Hood in the freshman and sophomore years.
Students planning to go to law school can major in History with a pre-law track. Further information is available in the History Department office. Studying History is an excellent preparation for law school.
Any student planning to go to graduate school in History should speak to a History faculty member as early as possible, for advice about preparation for graduate programs and about careers.

It was back to basics at this year's Milan Furniture Fair, with a bumper crop of hardworking wooden chairs. But other trends, such as perforated and woven metal and creased and folded surfaces, added texture to the show.

Best in Show

Noticeably fewer Americans attended this year's Milan Furniture Fair: Blame the plummeting dollar and sluggish Western economy for keeping them away. But with the luxury sector going strong and building still booming in the Middle East and Asia, there were a slew of product introductions, particularly from high-end manufacturers like Poggenpohl, which, as part of the biennial Eurocucina section, unveiled the P'7340 kitchen it created with the elite Porsche Design Group. Big names were also present in force. Axor, for instance, debuted bathroom collections by Philippe Starck, Antonio Citterio, and Jean-Marie Massaud.
If, at first glance, everything at the fair was business as usual, there was also a strong back-to-basics vein. This was visible in a resurgence of unpretentious, hard-working materials and straightforward forms, including a plethora of wooden chairs. Additionally, perforated and woven metal were featured in a variety of product types, from Tord Boontje's Rain series of tubular outdoor furniture to Heath Nash's Anemone hanging pendant lamp. And keeping the event from seeming too puritan, there was much sensual exploration of skins - upholstery with folds, crevices, and layers that serve as both structure and enclosure.
ARCHETYPAL SEATING In the 20th century, chairs underwent a sea change, thanks to materials like plastic and technologies like injection molding. This year, designers returned to the archetype: the simple wooden chair. Take 29-year-old Dutch designer Wouter Scheublin's Frame chair for Established & Sons, its angular lines reminiscent of seats by his countryman Gerrit Rietveld. Artek dug into its archives to revive the Hallway Chair 403, a stackable birch model designed by Alvar Aalto in 1931-32. And Patricia Urquiola unveiled her Log Collection for Artelano, an airy yet substantial set of wooden furniture. Jasper Morrison created a hybrid that fused past and present: His Basel chair for Vitra boasted a beech frame with a seat and back made of super-thin, batch-dyed plastic. The most unusual off ering was the prototype Pregnant chair from Moooi, which features a smaller chair nestled beneath its seat.
WEAVES AND PERFORATIONS Steel and aluminum are popular structural materials, prized for their strength, beauty, and durability. This fair, furniture manufacturers punched holes in the metal's surface or daisy-chained thin strands of it to lessen items' visual bulk and add a decorative edge. Small perforations were also prevalent: Porro's stackable Spindle seat, which Piero Lissoni fashioned from sections of chromiumplated wire; Moroso's Net chair, by Polish designer Tomek Rygalik, is fashioned to resemble chain mail. Elsewhere, a striking texture of beveled holes dotted James Irvine's Open System for Alias, while Emu's Ivy Collection of pregalvanized, painted-steel sofas, tables, and a chair was so porous that the pieces looked like they could float on air.
EXCEPTIONAL SKINS Architecture's obsession with textured surfaces has been migrating to soft goods for some time, with 3-D textures appearing on products like Anna Kyyro Quinn's felt wall panels. Furniture proved the trend's next frontier, with exhibitors disrupting . at surfaces with creases, folds, and layered fabrics. The wrinkled and bunched upholstery on Cappellini's Sharpei chair was inspired by the dog of the same name, while the corrugated effect of the leather on Peter Traag's Sponge armchair for Edra is generated by the cooling of polyurethane foam injected directly into the upholstery. Asymptote's Ivo table for Meta moves the trend to metal, with captivating topography.
Julie Taraska's work has appeared in over two dozen publications, including Metropolis, British GQ, and Icon.

What's New
Civil Rights:
Great news for Maine's children -- as of January 1, 2010, all children 18 and under in Maine will be eligible to get hearing aid benefits through their health insurance!
MCD fought for many years to get Maine's Legislature to pass a law requiring health insurers to provide hearing aid benefits for kids. There is an exception: many kids are not covered by this law because their parents' health insurance comes from self-insured employers. If you fall into that category, ask your employer to voluntarily provide the hearing aid benefit. Contact MCD for help!
New rules for Maine Newborn Bloodspot Screening:
As of December 1st 2009, The Maine Newborn Bloodspot Screening Program has adopted new program rules. One notable change in these program rules is the increase in the price of filter paper from $52 to $110. Please feel free to contact us with questions or concerns.

text: Would youth football survive a tackling ban?By Stephanie Smith, CNNUpdated 8:45 AM ET, Fri September 28, 2012Players compete during the Pop Warner Pee Wee Football Super Bowl in Orlando, Florida. Story highlightsConcussion expert says kids shouldn't be tackling, body checking until 14Before 14, expert says, "bobble head" effect snaps back the brainMyelin acts as insulation for nerve fibers in the brain after the age of 14Opponents says the age is arbitrary and that science hasn't backed up conclusionsFourteen can be a time of total transformation. It is an age when gangly adolescent limbs may morph into lithe, stronger ones. It is when the first signs of adulthood -- breasts, hair (on faces and other places) -- start cropping up.Fourteen is also the soonest any child should be tackling on a football field, heading a soccer ball, or body checking an opponent on an ice hockey rink, according to a leading concussion expert."If kids don't have axillary (underarm) or pubic hair, they aren't ready to play," said Dr. Robert Cantu, a neurosurgeon at Emerson Hospital in Massachusetts and author of a new book, "Concussion and Our Kids." "And I have absolutely no problem with parents who want to hold a child out for longer, say 16 or 18."No tackling? No body checking before 14?Heading a soccer ball before 14 in soccer might be sacrificed -- if studies eventually bear out the debatable link to concussion -- but tackling and body checking essentially define football and hockey.Just WatchedBounties offered in pee-wee football?replayMore Videos ...Bounties offered in pee-wee football? 02:54PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedExplain it to me: ConcussionsreplayMore Videos ...Explain it to me: Concussions 02:38PLAY VIDEOLimit hits, limit concussions in young brainsIn Cantu's words, "These are sports in which smashing into your opponent isn't just a possibility -- it's the object of the game."And there is some substance behind the argument for waiting until 14, says Cantu, not the least of which is protecting young, developing brains. At 14, he says, several things enhance the body's ability to protect against head trauma.Before 14, there is a size disparity between the head and the body, causing what concussion experts call a "bobble-head" effect -- the head snaps back dramatically after it is hit."Our youngsters have big heads on very weak necks and that combination sets up the brain for greater injury," said Cantu, a clinical professor of neurosurgery at Boston University School of Medicine.However, around age 14, a child's skull is about 90% the size of an adult's, and the neck and body are strong enough to steel the head against the force of a blow, according to Cantu. The more developed the neck muscles, the less dramatically the head (and thus the brain) is rocked after a tackle or a body check.And then there is the issue of brain development, and a protein called myelin. Myelin acts as insulation, a sort of buffer, for nerve fibers in the brain. Football player: Are you OK ruining a kid's brain for this game?By 14, Cantu says children have a "better myelin-ated" brain, making them less vulnerable to injury.Of course, such a bold proposition, one that would effectively change the way sports are played, causes a minor stir among experts."I don't know what is magic about the number 14," said Dr. Julian Bailes, co-director of the NorthShore Neurological Institute. "People suggest radical solutions, but is it practical? Is it going to be done?"Bailes acknowledges the debate as complicated. On one hand is a real need to protect children, on the other the unavoidable and possibly insurmountable cultural questions that enter the discussion."What does the sporting public want and what is something we can really accomplish?" said Bailes, who also is chairman of the Pop Warner medical advisory board. "As a society, as sporting fans and participants, are we ready to say we're not going to play football?"Apart from the cultural implications of placing broad limits on contact, there also is the question of what age-specific limits on hitting actually imply about a child's long-term risk for brain damage.There is no definitive set of risk factors for diseases like chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a dementia-like illness that is associated with blows to the head -- although cases as young as 17 have been identified -- and no clues yet from the scientific community about when and precisely how it starts.Suicide linked to brain diseaseAnd then there is the pesky question of science."I would very clearly disagree with the concept that there is research to support (no contact before age 14)," said Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher, chair of the Sports Neurology Section of the American Academy of Neurology."I don't feel like we need to have all the science lined up before we make policy decisions, but those decisions should be made based on common sense and science rather than randomness."Yet even Kutcher has difficulty dismissing the idea outright. The reality, he says, is that brains don't like to be hit a lot and younger brains are still developing, which could cause problems down the road.Kutcher says he advocates "diminishing versus outlawing" head contact, adding that waiting to tackle until age 14 sounds arbitrary."Some of the sports we've introduced children to involve hundreds of hits to the head," said Chris Nowinski, a concussion expert and author of "Head Games.""Show me the scientific evidence that that's a good idea."What everyone seems to agree about is that hits to the developing brain are bad; that agreement can dissolve once the emotionally charged conversation about the sanctity of sport begins."I would love to debate anyone, anytime, anywhere about this," said Cantu. "What the other side will say is you have to teach the kids the skills of a sport at a very young age otherwise they're at a competitive disadvantage. It's just plain B.S.""I'm pro-sports. I just want them to be played more safely," said Cantu, adding that youth athletes have the least-experienced coaches and few medical personnel on the sidelines, putting them at a compelling disadvantage.What he wants is for parents to carefully consider the potential long-term consequences of brain blows in their children -- to advocate for their safety."Reform should be happening much faster at the youth level than it does," said Nowinski, who is co-founder of the Sports Legacy Institute with Cantu. "We're saying wake up, your child has so many disadvantages."Your kids only have one life and you should think twice about putting your kid in a sport where they're hitting their head repeatedly."As for the magic number 14? Cantu says that age matters less than maturity and that parents might even decide to wait until after age 14 to expose their children to contact."The mantra of the book is that no head trauma is good head trauma," said Cantu. The brain cannot be conditioned to take head trauma so make it as little as possible."Questions lingers about long-term impact of subtle hits to the headMore from healthIs your penis size 'normal'?1 kidney donor triggers 6 transplants, thanks to big data and generosityDoes this beach paradise hold the secret to long life?Powered by Livefyre

Might be an interesting book to read. I cannot imagine an organization like Disney's – a life like Disney's – running on nothing but happy smiles and fairy-dust.
There are disturbing things about Disney running around out on the 'net if you go digging. I don't know how much of it is true. I do know that his animators have a tendency to stick inappropriate "Easter eggs" into their creations, and those cannot be denied. I also know that somewhere I have a picture of backstage Disney that should have been confiscated by park employees and would have been had they known I took it.

Stock car racing is a form of automobile racing found mainly in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Great Britain, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. Traditionally, races are run on oval tracks measuring approximately 0.25 to 2.66 miles (0.4 to 4.3 kilometers). NASCAR is the world's largest governing body for stock car racing, and its Sprint Cup Series is the de facto premier series of stock car racing. Top level races are 200 to 600 miles (322 to 966 km) in length.
Average speeds in the top classes are usually 70–80% of comparable levels of open wheel racing at the same tracks. Some stock cars may reach speeds in excess of 200 mph (322 km/h) at tracks such as Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway. These tracks have come to be known as "restrictor plate tracks", a name that is derived from the "restrictor plate" device that was designed to limit top speeds to approximately 192 mph (309 km/h) on such tracks.
Mountain Dew (stylized as Mtn Dew in the United States) is a carbonated soft drink brand produced and owned by PepsiCo. The original formula was invented in 1940 by Tennessee beverage bottlers Barney and Ally Hartman and was first marketed in Marion, Virginia; Knoxville, Tennessee and Johnson City, Tennessee with the slogan "Ya-Hoo! Mountain Dew. It'll tickle yore innards." A revised formula was created by Bill Bridgforth in 1958. The Mountain Dew brand and production rights were acquired by the Pepsi-Cola company in 1964, at which point distribution expanded more widely across the United States and Canada.
Between the 1940s and 1980s, there was just one variety of Mountain Dew, which was citrus-flavored and caffeinated. Diet Mountain Dew was introduced in 1988, followed by Mountain Dew Red, which was introduced and subsequently discontinued in 1988. While Mountain Dew Red was short-lived, it represented the beginning of a long-term trend of Mountain Dew being produced in different flavor variations. In 2001, a cherry flavor called Code Red debuted. This product line extension trend has continued, with expansion into specialty, limited time production, region-specific, and retailer-specific (Taco Bell, 7-Eleven) variations of Mountain Dew.
The twentieth season of IROC competition started on February 16, 1996. IROC XX was the first year that the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am was used in competition, and contested races at Daytona International Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, and Michigan International Speedway. Mark Martin won the first night race in the history of the series in race three at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and won again in the season finale at Michigan International Speedway propelling him to a come-from-behind IROC championship, his second in three seasons.
The roster of drivers and final points standings were as follows:
International Race of Champions (IROC) was a North American auto racing competition, promoted as an equivalent of an American All-Star Game or The Masters. Despite its name, the IROC was primarily associated with North American oval-racing culture.
Drivers raced identically-prepared stock cars set up by a single team of mechanics in an effort to make the race purely a test of driver ability. It was run with a small field of invited drivers (6–12). It was created and developed in 1972 by David Lockton, the developer of the Ontario Motor Speedway, launched in 1973, with Mark Donohue being the first driver to win the championship in 1974. The cars used that year were Porsche Carrera RSRs. Donohue's win in the fourth and last race of that season was his last win, as he unfortunately died in a Formula One crash at the Österreichring in practice for the 1975 Austrian Grand Prix. The series was not run in 1981, 1982, or 1983.
The Bojangles' Southern 500 is the annual spring NASCAR Sprint Cup race held at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, South Carolina, USA. A 100-mile (160 km) race was held in May at the track in 1952, however the event did not become a regular one on the NASCAR schedule until 1957, as a 300 miles (480 km) race in the Convertible Division, known as the Rebel 300. In 1966, the race was expanded to 400 miles (640 km), and in 1973 to 500 miles (800 km). In 1994, the race was returned to 400 miles. In 2005, as part of the settlement of the Ferko lawsuit and as part of a schedule realignment, the race would be held on Mothers Day weekend, and raised it back to 500 miles.
Without a title sponsor for 2009, the race tentatively adopted the moniker of Southern 500, the traditional name of the fall race run from 1950–2004 on Labor Day weekend. A one-year deal with Go Daddy was signed. Some fans]who?[ referred to the race exclusively as the GoDaddy.com 500 out of respect to what fans called the "real" Southern 500, a fall-race showdown. In 2010, Showtime Networks signed a multi-year deal to sponsor the race, giving it the name Showtime Southern 500. In 2012, Bojangles', a Charlotte, North Carolina-based quick-service restaurant, took over sponsorship of the race. In 2014, the race will swap dates with the STP 400, and will be run in April.
