Social Network Analysis of the Obesity Research Boot Camp
Regular readers may recall that for the past nine years, I have had the privilege and pleasure of serving as faculty of the Canadian Obesity Network's annual Obesity Research Summer Bootcamp.
The camp is open to a select group of graduate and post-graduate trainees from a wide range of disciplines with an interest in obesity research. Over nine days, the trainees are mentored and have a chance to learn about obesity research in areas ranging from basic science to epidemiology and childhood obesity to health policy.
Now, a formal network analysis of bootcamp attendees, published by Jenny Godley and colleagues in the Journal of Interdisciplinary Healthcare, documents the substantial impact that this camp has on the careers of the trainees.
As the analysis of trainees who attended this camp over its first 5 years of operation (2006-2010) shows, camp attendance had a profound positive impact on their career development, particularly in terms of establishing contacts and professional relationships.
Thus, both the quantitative and the qualitative results demonstrate the importance of interdisciplinary training and relationships for career development in obesity researcher (and possibly beyond).
Personally, participation at this camp has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career and I look forward to continuing this annual exercise for years to come.

Does Lean Tissue Have More To Say About Your Health Than Your Body Fat?
The common assumption is that people with more body fat are at greater risk for illness and overall mortality.
Surprisingly, an increasingly robust body of evidence now suggests that how much lean tissue you have may be far more important for your health than the amount of body fat.
This evidence as well as the methodologies used to study lean body mass are discusses in a paper by Carla Prado (University of Alberta) and Steve Heymsfield (Pennington Biomedical Research Center), in a paper published in the Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition.
As the authors point out,
"The emerging use of imaging techniques such as dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound imaging in the clinical setting have highlighted the importance of lean soft tissue (LST) as an independent predictor of morbidity and mortality."
The paper discusses in depth the advantages and limitation of the many methods that can be used to assess body composition in research and clinical settings.
The paper also discusses the current definition and importance of sarcopenic obesity and notes that,
"The identification of different body composition phenotypes suggests that individuals have different metabolism and hence utilization of fuel sources."
"It is clear from emerging studies that body composition health will be vital in treatment decisions, prognostic outcomes, and quality of life in several nonclinical and clinical states."
My guess is that it will not just be the absolute or relative amount of lean tissue mass that is important. Rather, similar to the increasingly recognised role of differences amongst fat depots, I would assume that different lean soft tissue depots may well play different roles in metabolic health.

The Grizzly Truth About Healthy Obesity
While we continue to debate the incidence and physiology of healthy obesity (i.e. adiposity without any evident health problems), there are ample examples of adiposity in the animal kingdom, where the accumulation of vast amounts of fat tissue are entirely compatible with good health.
One of these fascinating example is the grizzly bear, which accumulates enough fat to last all winter without any apparent ill-effects on its health – indeed, the accumulation of fat to a level that would be considered "morbidly obese" in humans in vital to its survival.
Thus, not only is "healthy" obesity possible in mammals, it may also be an important area of study to better understand healthy obesity (or lack of it) in humans.
Insights into healthy obesity comes from a fascinating study by Lynne Nelson and colleagues from Washington State University, in a paper published in Cell Metabolism.
The researchers studied metabolism in four adult female grizzly bears, trained to "voluntarily" allow blood samples to be drawn for this study (for a video on how exactly this was done click here).
Their study shows that as grizzly bears accumulate fat in preparation for hibernation, they become exquisitely insulin sensitive, only to switch to a state of insulin resistance as they enter hibernation. This process reverses as they emerge from hibernation months later.
While the paper describes in detail the metabolic and hormonal pathways involved in this modulation of insulin sensitivity (via PTEN/AKT signaling in adipose tissue, it suggests that it is the ability to maintain insulin sensitivity in the face of increased adipose tissue that allows these animals to remain metabolically healthy.
As readers may recall, this is akin to the finding in humans that healthy obese individuals also display high levels of insulin sensitivity compared to metabolically unhealthy obese individuals, who display the more typical insulin resistance.
While much of this ability to maintain insulin sensitivity in a state of adiposity may be genetic (as in the rare case of humans with PTEN haploinsufficiency) other factors that enhance insulin sensitivity (e.g. regular aerobic exercise) may also help prevent or alleviate the metabolic consequences of excess fat.
Other factors may well include the actual location of the expanded fat depots, with peripheral accumulation of subcutaneous fat being far less likely to cause metabolic problems (and perhaps even protect against) than visceral or ectopic fat.
Now I guess, we need a study to see how well healthy obese humans do in hibernation.

Motek India GandhinagarInternational trade fair for automation in production and assembly
The Motek India is an international trade fair in the fields of automation in production and assembly, feed technology and material flow, streamlining through handling technology and industrial handling. It takes place once a year in Gandhinagar and will be open to trade visitors only. As little sister of the great fair Motek in Stuttgart it is expected that this fair will quickly established itself in the Indian market, because it is the only show of its kind, which represents the entire process chain of mechanical engineering and automation in the Indian region and neighbouring countries. It also offers detailed and system solutions for the automotive industry, the mechanical engineering, the electrical and electronics industry, the medical technology and the solar manufacturing industry to improve efficiency and increase profitability in almost all industrial sectors. Due to combining the show with the concurrent fairs SPS Automation India, the trade fair for the automation industry and the Control India, the international trade fair for quality assurance, enormous synergies have been created, not only with regard to potential visitors and business transactions, but also with regard to the issues of the future of the industry. The exhibition is complemented by a top-class supporting program that deals with current developments and future trends.
The Motek India takes place annually, and therefore for the second time previsibly in February 2015 in Gandhinagar.

TVA, emergency officials braced for another arctic blast
by MBJ Staff
Published: January 22,2014
Tags: cold, demand, electricity, enefgy, Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, power, Robert Latham, Tennessee Valley Authority, Weather
NORTH MISSISSIPPI — The Tennessee Valley Authority is once again preparing for colder-than-normal temperatures that will create greater demands on its electric system.
TVA reports its power system "remains secure and stable at this time, and steps are being taken to keep it that way."
On Monday, TVA issued an internal "Conservative Operation Alert," which delays any non-emergency maintenance activities at its generation and transmission facilities to minimize risks to the power supply. It is also working with the region's 155 local power companies and TVA's directly served industrial customers to ensure an uninterrupted supply of electricity to the 9 million residents of the Valley.
As a further precaution, TVA has initiated a "Power Supply Alert," which notes that demand could reach a level where an unexpected shutdown of a large generating unit or transmission system interchange could reduce TVA's power supply reserves.
Consumers are also encouraged to take proactive steps that can lower their power bills by reducing their own electricity use.
TVA expects electricity demand to remain high through Friday, potentially reaching as high as 32,000 megawatts. In comparison, demand was just above 32,000 megawatts during the height of the cold wave on Jan. 7.
TVA's all-time record winter demand was set on Jan. 16, 2009, at 32,572 megawatts when temperatures across the Tennessee Valley averaged 9 degrees. The all-time record demand on the TVA power system was 33,482 megawatts on Aug. 16, 2007, when temperatures averaged 102 degrees.
In a related item, the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency along with county emergency managers around the state are asking residents to be prepared for some dangerously cold temperatures.
An arctic blast will move into Mississippi tonight, dropping low temperatures in the 20s. The National Weather Service is forecasting even lower temperatures tomorrow and Friday.
Central and north Mississippi could see wind chills into the single digits, with wind chills in the teens as far as the Gulf Coast. There is also a slight possibility of a light wintry mix of snow/ice in the south and west parts of the state tomorrow night, but no accumulation is expected.
MEMA director Robert Latham said, "Please be sure to check on family, friends and neighbors that may need special attention, like seniors and those that have special medical needs. These are potentially dangerous overnight temperatures and we want to make sure everyone is prepared."

Why do I have so much dust???
HELP!! It seems that my house is dusty all the time and I can't figure out why! I can dust and 2 - 3 days later it doesn't even look like it's been touched. I vacuum and do all those good things, but this is the first place that I've lived that I've had a problem like this. I don't like in the country and I don't live on a dusty road. I don't know what to do about it. I'm 54 years-old and never thought I'd be writing and asking for help about dusting of all things!!
Check your dryer's vent and hose. My house was clouding up with dust; I could write on the furniture the day after polishing it.
I checked the dryer in the basement. The hose had been cut when they hooked it up. It was a small (2-3 inch long) slit on the back side of the hose down near the dryer connector. DH patched it up with several windings of duct tape and the dust problem cleared right up.
If your house is an old one, it can be the cause of a lot of dust, as timber and paint etc dry out. If your house is located in a windy area, the wind will carry with it a lot of dust. Is there insulation in the ceiling which might be beyond its use-by date? Are the carpets very old - if so, both it and the underlay might be in need of replacing - they will throw up a lot of dust every time you walk on it. If you don't have a lot of lawn or gardens, you won't get much protection from dust. If you live in or near an industrial area, or where there are busy roads, you'll get a lot of dust. If the house is build up on stumps, with just dirt underneath, you might get little wind eddies under there which throw up a lot of dust. Is there a large construction site in the area somewhere, which could be throwing up a lot of dust? Remember, dust can travel hundreds of miles, so take note of wind direction and see where it might be coming from. Also, if you have that much dust, make sure to clean the backs of refrigerator and other electrical appliances on a regular basis, or you may have a potential fire-danger. And if you use a clothes-dryer a lot, that could definitely be a cause. Try hanging clothes outside to dry and see if it makes a difference. Also check that your vacuum cleaner is working properly. The brushes might be clogged, the fanbelt may need changing, the dust-bag may need emptying more often, or it may simply be an inefficient design, spreading more dust than it collects.
Last summer I bought a new vaccum cleaner called a Thermax.It has no bags because it has a bucket water is placed in and the dirt and so forth is blown into the bucket of water.I could not believe the dust that my Bissellblew into the air everytime I turned it on until the salesman showed me.My Thermax doesn't do this.Plus I can put this scent into the water that freshens the air while I vaccum.Whenever I choose I can disconnect the hose and simply place the air freshner into the water and roll the machine into the middle of the room and turn it on.It does this "air wash" thing that pulls the dust out of the air.And as long as I do this at least once a week throughout the house my dust problem is no problem.The only part I don't like is that it's a canister type and the washing out of the bucket,"GROSS".But I can see what I've picked up.It wasn't cheap but I got it because we do live in the country and an old house and we have respiratory problems in the family.Plus it doesn't hurt my hardwood floors.
Also, in some houses, there's dust from the drywall that's inside the walls, and it floats out or is forced out by the forced-air heating system.
Be sure you have good filters (and change them often) if you have forced-air heat.
Caulk really well around baseboards and doors and windows, to minimize air movement into the room from the wall cavities.
that's because you spend 8 hours a day in the BR, and that's where you rub your skin w/ fabric (getting dressed and un-, lying on the sheets, etc.) Most of dust is skin cells, etc. You're scraping them off in there, but not as much anywhere else.
My husband has a duct cleaning business. The ducts in your home can have a lot of molds, dust, etc in them. Many people with allergies swear by it. If you ever get it done make sure you use truck with bags on top. Others charge less for a shop vac type cleaning which doesn't compare to the suction of a powerful truck. Lots of new houses have a lot of dust in the vents from sheetrock, sanding, etc. Some builders will have it done prior to selling.
Also, it is true you should clean your furnace filters regularly. It does make a difference. Check them and see if they are dirty.
The other reason for bedroom dust is a lot of dust is raised in changing and making beds. It is very important to make sure your furnace filters are clean and fresh. We have an air cleaner and I leave the furnace fan running continuously when the air or heat is on, it really does help keep things fresher and cleaner.
Hubby is very allergic to dust. So, we tiled all of our floors (zero carpet in the house) and moved the dryer to the garage. Also put in 4 lawns outdoors to reduce the amount of dirt and dust tracked in. We do not have forced air heat (we are on slab with a flat roof. Heating is baseboard).
Let me tell you that after all of that the reduction in the amount of dust was so significant that he was able to almost stop using his asthma meds. Not only that, but I only dust once every 3-4 weeks and when I do, there is nothing there!
Here in the west we have major dust and a lot of the dust problem is caused by our cooling systems. They are a pad that is wet and air drawn thru to cool the air. I put furnace filters in the heating ducts to help keep some of the dust out. Remove the vent cover, cut filter to size and put it in. Works great.
I know i'm a little late answering this, but.......we recently moved into a new house......no trees around us yet. I could literally dust every day!!!!! Of course I dont........anyway,I have been told the house is still settling, and no wind block due to lack of trees - both causing tons of dust. I'm a little worried about my electronic appliances if my furniture looks this bad....Been here 8 months and already had to replace the vacuum, got a goose feather duster, a swifter and God only knows what else!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, not sure you said how old your house was ?(?) maybe there is something there.......
i simply can not believe the dust in my 6 month old house!! it is amazing-and i thought new houses stayed clean all the time!! what a disappointment! but there are new houses going in and out landscaping is still marginal. i am sad though that there is dirt in-between the windows..hate stuff like that.
I've found the biggest difference in the amount of dust in my home is made by cleaning the furnace filter regularly and changing to a vac cleaner that does NOT allow dirt to get back outside of the tank. My old vac just spewed dust behind it. By using the vac for dusting, it is really making a difference.
What color is your dust?
Yellow Dust: You're closer to a dusty road than you think. I was 1/4 mile off of one, but the prevailing winds brought in the dust -- close the windows on that side. Never dust with a dry dust cloth.... rinse out a washrag size cloth with water, wring dry, then dust. Rinse the rag frequently. No sense just pushing the dust around with a dry rag or dustcloth. (Swiffer Duster doesn't work beyond simple surface light dust.
Grey dust: Just dirt dust. If you've got a neighbor like mine that has a dog, close the windows nearest the mutt.
Black dust: Are you within 25 miles of an airport and like to watch the planes land??? They dump fuel - that's the black dust areas. Had that in two places. Wipe windowsills every three days and see --- If your cloth is black, nothing you can do about it except close your windows, run your A/C or heat, or dust every 2 days.
Hope any of this helps.
I had a friend who hired a company come with their big vacum truck and suck out her hvac lines. AS I've noticed, the duct work in houses is usually already in before the sheet rock is finished and hardwood floors sanded. Therefore, lots of dust settles into the duct work. My friend is a consumate housekeeper, but she said you wouldn't believe the stuff that came out of her ducts and most of it was from sheetrocking when they built the house years ago!!! Getting your duct work cleaned might help. Also, we lived in an old (125 years old) house once that only had plank boards on the ceiling. Whenever I dusted, the next day everything was dusty again. AFter DH sheetrocked the ceilings, problem stopped. So nice to know all the gunk in the attic was sifting down on us!!!
i would reccomend that you change your furnace filters regularly and buy an expensive one that removes smaller particles. i also reccomend a hepa air filter - they are expensive but they are worth it. my husband has asthma and i have allergies and we too have eliminated carpet - we have either hard wood floor or ceramic tiles - much easier to clean and easier on our sinuses...
Better yet, get rid of the forced air all together. My husband is severely allergic to dust and he cannot tolerate being in a house with forced air heat. Our last house had radient heating in the floor and the current one has electric baseboards.
I can definitely vouch for having your ducts cleaned. With an older house, God knows what is inside of it. And iwth a newer house, could be drywall dust, etc.
What I would also ask for those with older homes, is do you have newer windows?
Our first house was over 50 years old, had hardwood floors and orignal casement windows. I would vacuum and dust and the next morning, dust all over those floors. Looked like I had never vacuumed at all. Drove me nuts.
Then we had our windows replaced with new vinyl. Swear to God, my dust problem was reduced by more than half. Had the ducts blown. That helped. Had the filters changed to an electrostatic HEPA (which we washed monthly). Have to tell you that the dust situation was night and day.
New windows can be expensive, but between the savings in heating costs, the decreased dust level AND the decrease in ambient street noise, I was in heaven.

To paint or not to pain original stained woodwork?
I recently bought a 1930's colonial and there are two rooms on the first floor that still have what appears to be the original (restained) oak trim woodwork, while all of the upstairs second floor rooms and the two additional rooms on the downstairs first floor have all been painted white by the previous owners.
I plan to stain all of the floors with ZAR brand stain in mocha color with a satin poly finish (which is on the dark side) and wondering if I should keep the stained wood trim downstairs, or also paint it.
The walls in these two rooms will be painted from the current green and beige to a medium gray paint color (probably Benjamin Moore Stonington or Coventry Gray) in these downstairs rooms. Seems like restaining to a compatible color to the new floors may be a lot of work, but If we opt to restain rather than paint, what color should we go with? Also, does anyone know what stain color appears to currently be on this woodwork?
Thoughts and/or suggestions?
From what I can see the trim looks in good condition - what are you hoping to accomplish by painting it?. Get wall colors that work with the color of your wood, instead of vice versa. (there are an infinite variety of greys so you should be able to find something that will bring out its beauty while still being something that you like). Colors are all about how they relate to other colors.
Once you start on the slippery slope of painting woodwork it goes downhill pretty fast. The first coat looks pretty for a while but eventually it starts peeling,chipping, getting stained & discolored, getting re-coated with more layers of paint that starts looking like a lumpy mess. Paint layered on window sashes eventually starts messing up the functioning of the windows. If it's you who ends up having to remove multiple layers of paint (which eventually needs to be done even if you are just repainting it) you will regret the day you ever went down that path!
I would stain the trim before I'd stain the floor just because its a more manageable job and dark floors are a PITA to keep clean. What kind of wood are we talking about, oak? There are products that would really beautify and enrich the color of oak without being a heavy pigment stain that obscures the grain - look into shellac, waterlox finish, or even a dye stain for first coat under the finish coat. When you put a dark pigment stain on it obscures the grain but also goes deep into the grain which can only be removed by deep sanding (bear in mind there are only so many sandings a floor can take before it has to be replaced.)

Back Pain question
My daughter, who is 16, has been having some lower back pain for a while. Should I take her to our family doctor or to a chiropractor? We have good insurance, but I know nothing about chiropractors and have no idea if most insurance companies cover them.
Just some thoughts ...
My son had terrible back pain when he was 13. We thought it was his backpack which was loaded down with books he had to carry to and from school but even driving him to school didn't help so we took him to his GP. X-rays and a urine test were ordered and it was determined he was constipated. One dose of a super duper laxative and all his pain went away.
Start with your family dr., of course, there are so many different possibilities here. A chiropractor? I'm going to get some flack here, but I would definitely NOT take a child to one--they aren't medical drs, and can do a great deal of harm (including causing strokes). Instead, take her to an orthopedic dr. if you truly believe she's having problems with her back/spine. They're the ones who can identify and fix the problem, if necessary.
It depends upon the quality of the chiro, azzalea. The one my husband goes to is remarkable in his knowledge and care. He has a working relationship with the orthopedic and neurological community. He can take x -rays when needed. Robert's own physician recommended that Robert go to him. Our insurance covers his visits without question.
That being said, I've never seen a child in the waiting room. That's not a good call for a 16 year old.
I know there are good Chiropractors out there - but there are so many that are complete quacks. One of my friends took her kids to one to "draw the poison out" after vaccinations. Oh brother!
Go to your regular doctor.
My DD had back pain related to a sports injury. She was able to get into physical therapy and do some core strengthening (I was surprised at how much that helped, considering she was already in top physical conditioning)
If I had taken her to a Chiropractor - we would still be going in for "adjustments" - flame me too, but I do not believe in Chiropractors.
I have had back pain since my early 20s. I have scoliosis and tried orthopedic doctors, PT, acupuncture and chiropractors. Last fall I finally asked friend for recommendations for a chiro here in Ames. I went weekly for 8 weeks and now monthly. Bless his heart, this guy accepts Medicare as payment in full. Last Saturday I attended a parade at the University and walked all around campus afterwards. I haven't been able to stand through a parade without pain for 50 years. I was so amazed at how good I feel now and how my balance has improved.
having taught at Indiana Univ Indy Medical School I am famous for saying "No one grows up saying they want to be a chiro, they start out saying doctor then fail..." I do know a small hand full of Chiro doc's who went on to do the 2+ yrs of med school specialty training, they are still chro's but have some Md training. I have many more MD friends & they do not go to Chiro's. Not everything is fixable by an MD but I would not go straight to a chiro w/o dr approval. I am sure there are some issues chiro's are well at but certainly not everything is treatable by cracking your back... I also have a college friend whose mom had back issues and went to a chiro and he damaged her back further & she spent weeks in traction. ~ liz
There are good chiropractors and there are bad chiropractors just like in any field. Today they must have more extensive schooling then they had to have in the past. That being said, I feel the same way about chiropractors that I feel about microwave ovens. They have their place but I wouldn't want to cook my whole meal in them. Chiropractors have their place but I wouldn't wan to go to one to treat cancer. But, always start with an MD before going to a chiropractor. I went to an orthopedic DR and he said he sends many of his sports injured students to a chiropractor, depending on the injury, of course.

Slain Toddler's Mom Pleads Guilty To Charges
The mother of a 1-year-old Maryland boy found dead in central Ohio has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence.
The Republican-controlled Ohio Senate is nearing approval of a pilot program that would tie welfare benefits to clean drug tests.
The Senate Finance Committee set a Tuesday vote on a provision allowing three Ohio counties to volunteer to administer drug tests to prospective welfare recipients. Those who failed would get treatment and lose benefits for six months or more.
Its author says the provision's wording avoids legal roadblocks encountered in other states. It's among dozens of Senate changes to a midterm budget bill to be voted on Wednesday.
The think tank group Innovation Ohio says a recent constitutional amendment in Ohio against federal health care mandates prohibits mandatory government programs that collect health care data.

Miele Induction Cooktop: Set Flush or Drop In
Miele says the induction cooktop can be installed flush with the counter or with the edge sitting on top of the counter and it can't be permanently sealed in place. I would prefer to install it flush with the counter to give a sleeker look. To do this the fabricator would have to rout out a little ledge for it to sit on and I'm afraid that the transition between the cooktop and counter would become a crumb/spill collector. How did you install yours and are you happy with your method of installation?
Caulk isn't permanent--if it starts to get gunky flush mounted, you could probably use some. I'm sure the manufacturer would say not to do so, though.
It looks great flush IF and ONLY if you can get it installed perfectly. Do you trust your fabricator? :D Cuz you can't undo it!
Cotehele has a flush mount I think. Not that it matters in her pretty kitchen--a coil top would look fab in there...
Agree with Fori - the fabrication has to be perfect to do it flush with the counter, and even then I'm sure gunk would get in. Our Miele induction cooktop is top monunted and it's still a very sleek look... barely over 1/4" above the stone...and very easy to clean around that thin metal rim. (Our model is from last year...so I assume the Miele cooktop still has that metal frame).
Sorry I can't post a picture of ours right now but maybe later.
Fori, thanks. :-)
Here are a couple of pics of the flush mount cooktop. The fabricator took the cooktop to the shop and did the opening there. There is 1/8'' clearance on each side. He is an engineer who designed all the heavy equipment he uses to fabricate stone. I trusted him completely.
Don't use caulk around the cooktop. Cleaning isn't that difficult with the unit in place. Running a small icing spatula wrapped in a damp paper towel or very thin cloth gets out most of the crumbs. Also my Dyson hand vac sucks a lot of loose crumbs out. When it needs major cleaning, it can be pushed out with total access to the countertop.

Well this was a nice change! The PUUR Hotel Lage Vuursche is situated in a clearing in the forest. There is a camp site and chalets but we stayed in the hotel. Our room was very nicely decorated and had a balcony looking out into the wonderful green surroundings. Everything worked perfectly, the beds were comfortable and the bathroom clean and well designed. It was not possible to eat here as one has to book in advance. From the look of the kitchen and the quality of breakfast I would guess that a well planned evening meal here would be a good experience. Just a guess. The price was ok, but to ask 5% for the use of a credit card is a little exagerated if not even illegal? Not sure. Nevertheless a very pleasant one night stay

Thursday, 12th February 2015, Edinburgh Centre for Carbon Innovation, Old High School, Infirmary Street, Edinburgh
The twin challenges of climate change and changing demographics have led many energy industry leaders and government decision-makers to identify infrastructure
investment as perhaps the single, largest wealth creation opportunity of the 21st century. The World Bank estimates the global infrastructure gap to be in the area of $35
trillion over the next twenty years. Unlocking this scale of investment responsibly will require new ways of thinking about impacts and new models for delivering sustained, green economic growth that protects and preserves our most valuable assets for future generations.
This networking event will bring together some of the cutting-edge investors, academics and entrepreneurs operating at the front lines of the green investment challenge. We invite you to join us for a riveting discussion, which will explore the key concepts, risks and opportunities we must seek to better understand in order to deliver a fundamental shift in the way we do business.

Here's a look at the osprey nest from another vantage point. This photo was taken from the top of the dam looking up toward the new nest.
The ospreys have been busy carrying in sticks to the nest and chasing buzzards this week. They are teaming up with other pairs to help with the chase. You can occassionally hear them calling for backup when the buzzards are trying to move in too close.

It's great to see so much interest in the osprey's new home. Rest assured, there is plenty of material nearby for them to add to their nest. In addition to sticks, you will often see the osprey pull grass and moss from the face of the dam to add to the nest. In the past, we've noticed that the osprey don't get serious about building their nest until after they have mated for a couple of weeks. You can see that they have started adding more and more material over the weekend.
This is a great opportunity to see how these birds build a nest. Keep watching and see how it develops.

As you can see, here is the new nesting box. We hope the Ospreys enjoy their new home!

As you already know, our Ospreys have returned for a new season! The new nesting box arrived at the end of last week and was installed yesterday. We were not sure the old box would hold up to another season of youngsters especially if we have triplets again! Only a few sticks were added from the old nest as most of them had rotted from last year. I'm confident this pair will fill the nest full of fresh sticks. Steps are being taken for new nesting box installations on the transmission towers.
We do read ALL your comments but are not able to reply to each and every one, BUT we will try to answer most questions as soon as possible!

We expect the Ospreys to return in mid to late February. Depending on when the new nesting box arrives, we may take the site down temporarily during the box replacement. Regardless, we will not clean up the old nest. However, if the new nesting box arrives in time, we will add a few small sticks to the nest. The Ospreys are wonderful housekeepers!!Additionaly, we will be installing 6 new nesting boxes on the transmission towers. If the Ospreys take to them, we may add more down the road.

The Fall season is upon us and the leaves have started changing its colors. Soon they will begin shedding from the trees. We would like to thank everyone for their comments and watching our OspreyCam this year.

We haven't seen many Ospreys this week. Sadly, it is time for them to begin migrating south. Miracle and parents are still in the area, but we expect them to begin their long journey soon.
It has been an amazing year! Miracle has proved to be a fighter from the very beginning. We have watched him grow into the strong, stunning Osprey he is today. We are going to miss watching this lovely family, lbut ook forward to seeing them again next year.

Miracle is about 12 weeks old now. We are seeing less and less of him these days. This has been a special year watching young parents figure out how to take care of a new chick. We all had concerns from the get-go, whether we would ever see the egg hatch or the chick survive, but the final result has truly been a miracle!

While Miracle and the other chicks in the area work on their fishing technique, they seem to enjoy each other's company. You can hear them chatter back and forth and often engage in a game of "follow the leader". It is a joy to watch these young Osprey play and learn!

Miracle is now about 10 weeks old. He will continue to stay in the area, close to home. As Miracle works on his fishing skills, he will return to the nest for food brought in my mom and dad.

Thank you for all the pictures and video of Miracle taking flight! All is empty in the nest this morning but we are sure Miracle is out taking in his new surroundings and learning how to dive for fish. This little one's name says it all……Miracle.

Miracle is now about 8 weeks old. He has been busy active preening and exercising his wings. As his wing-flapping increases, we will be able to see Miracle lift a little off the nest. If you are able to capture a picture, please send it in!

Storms blew through the area yesterday afternoon bringing heavy rain and wind. We were concerned for our little Miracle, but all is well in the nest this morning. Miracle is almost as big as Mom, but of course Mom and Dad make sure their baby keeps a full belly. Not much longer before Miracle will be ready for his first fledge.
Temps will cool down the rest of the week.

We have been seeing more Buzzards than usual around the nest this week. Although the Buzzards outnumber the Osprey, at least 5 to 1, the Ospreys are teaming up to try and chase them away. With only one chick to tend to, Mom and Dad give Miracle all their attention and provide more than enough food! Mom does her best to shade little Miracle, but he's not so little anymore. Temps stay in the low to mid 90's this week with a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon.

The Style of the Stedelijk
From the Publisher. The reopening of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam on September 23, 2012, meant the inauguration of a spectacular new edifice as well as a new house style. The Style of the Stedelijk is the fascinating account of the Stedelijk Museum's unique relationship with graphic design and search for a new visual identity. Design historian Frederike Huygen examines the long search for a new house style. The various participating designers and their proposals are presented, as well as the house style concept developed under current director Ann Goldstein by Mevis & Van Deursen, and the museum's fascinating history and unique relationship with graphic design.
The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, one of Europe's major art institutions, has a long commitment to the sensitive application of graphic design. In this engagingly focused, dual-language study, in the Premsela Design Story series, Dutch design historian Frederike Huygen examines the innovations of Willem Sandberg, a graphic designer who, in 1945, became the museum's director, as well as contributions by Wim Crouwel, Anthon Beeke, Walter Nikkels, and Experimental Jetset. An accompanying film by Lex Reitsma documents the development of the Stedelijk's latest visual identity by Mevis & Van Deursen before it reopened in 2012.

Sale Sharks sack forwards coach
ESPN Staff
September 23, 2012
Sale have started the new season with four defeats © Getty Images
The Sale Sharks have sacked their forwards coach Steve Scott after slumping to four losses on the bounce.
Sale recruited big name signings Richie Gray and Danny Cipriani over the summer and were making all the right noises pointing towards a top six finish. But they have started the new campaign in dreadful fashion with four straight losses to their name.
Following Friday night's defeat to London Welsh - where the team were booed at the full-time whistle - reports claimed that Sale chief Steve Diamond called his backroom staff into their training base at Carrington for a meeting the following day. The result of this seems to be the dismissal of ex-Scotland international Scott.
The 11-cap hooker took up his role with Sale back in December 2010 but the Sharks will now start their search for his replacement. In the mean time, Diamond will take charge of the forwards on an interim basis under coach Bryan Redpath.
"Our results have been poor so far and we decided that we needed to change the coaching structure within the club," Diamond said. "I would like to place on record my thanks to Steve Scott who has worked hard in his role and always given 100%. I wish him all the best in the future."
Redpath will look for his first win as Sale boss against Bath next Saturday and he slammed his side after seeing them lose at home to Premiership newboys London Welsh on Friday. "There weren't any plus marks really as most of our game wasn't up to speed," Redpath said. "You can't hide behind that performance tonight because, as a group, it wasn't good enough.
"It let a lot of people down that came along tonight. We need to find out why, but there's not many answers coming out at the moment. We really need to look hard in the mirror and see why that happened tonight as that wasn't acceptable at all.
"I don't want to take any credit away from London Welsh. They came up here, played a simple game, got in front and stuck at it. I can understand the frustration and accept it, but we have to take that responsibility when the fans booed us off the pitch and that is something we obviously never want to happen again. I apologise to every Sale supporter. They pay good money to watch and I will be doing my utmost to rectify that."

In a Surprise Move, MIT Settles Closely Watched Student-Suicide Case
For years, the lawsuit arising from the death of Elizabeth H. Shin, a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who died on the campus in 2000, has rattled college administrators throughout the nation.
Ms. Shin's parents sued MIT for $27-million, alleging that the institution had failed to prevent her apparent suicide, and last summer a Massachusetts judge ruled that the plaintiffs could seek damages from individual staff members named in the lawsuit.

UK Anti-Piracy Law Survives Court Challenge 47
from the just-setting-up-a-more-dramatic-fall dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
SOPA/PIPA were defeated.
So the next option for the MafiAA is to buy similar laws in a few other countries, then argue the US needs to pass SOPA/PIPA anyways to "harmonize with international law."
They don't really have vast power. What they have is unchallenged power.
Ford can't just do things. If they started writing a law specifically to benefit Ford (and screw everyone else) the next day every Democrat would oppose it because the UAW/environmentalists said so, and every non-Michigan Republican would join in because businesses in their district were being screwed.
Hollywood's unions are on their side re: piracy, which means the AFL is on their side, which means all the other unions have solidarity with the Hollywood studios. The business community doesn't care about fair use, because restricting fair use doesn't screw them. Therefore Hollywood gets to be the only people in the room when decisions like SOPA are made, which gives the ability to write the damn treaty.
To an extent the internet and geek activism can stop this. When we are organized we are unstoppable. We are everywhere, and we can influence all those people who jumped on the SOPA bandwagon when it was easy, and then jumped off when we noticed what they were doing.
The problem is convincing geeks to all give money to the same organization, on a consistent basis, even after said groups issues a press release they don't like.
Well, the business community should care, as IPR is part of what makes western cost levels prohibitively high. From a macroeconomic perspective monopoly rights are equatable with taxation (having exactly the same effect as, for example, VAT) and should really be counted as part of the total tax level in an economy.
That, of course, means that any 'gained jobs' that the monopoly rights proponents claim to get are taken from someone else. And that any jobs lost in those industries are gained elsewhere as consumer discretionary income is directed to other services. Which means that other unions should certainly consider any support, as it's their members that lose their jobs as more money is directed to Hollywood.
The same BBC that never once interviewed a PP member during the last election.
That'd be because there was precisely one candidate. PPUK are a tiny party. The amount of coverage they've gotten from the likes of the BBC and various non-Murdoch newspapers is massively disproportionate to their size. Let's celebrate the fact that the BBC even know who Loz is and actually turn to the PPUK for comment on matters like the Digital Economy Act, rather than moan about the lack of 24/7 coverage of the Pirate Party world-wide.
