Bring beans and water to a boil.
Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour.
Add salt pork and simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until beans are tender and water is almost absorbed.
While beans are cooking, remove scum from top and stir occasionally.
Remove salt pork and stir in enough chili powder, hot pepper sauce, and salt to give beans a spicy flavor.
Beans can be prepared ahead of time and reheated.

Notabag: How We Designed an Innovative Bag Using Dieter's Ram Principles
by Adnan Alicusic
Since I am somewhat obsessed with simplicity and functionality of a product, I found Dieter Ram's 10 principle of good design to be my mantra during the process of creating Notabag.
Good design is innovative:
Notabag's design is innovative because it allows the product to transform itself in the simplest way possible.
Good design makes a product useful:
Because Notabag can be carried as a bag or worn as a backpack, the product is multifunctional.
Good design is aesthetic:
Notabag's design is aesthetically appealing to both men and women. It is approachable, friendly, simple and stylish.
Good design makes a product understandable:
Notabag's design speaks for itself, without the need for further explanations; the transformation from a bag to backpack happens almost intuitively.
Good design is unobtrusive:
Notabag's design is purely functional, but it still leaves room for the owner's self-expression.
Good design is honest:
Notabag's design is understated, fully intended to compliment its functionality.
Good design is long-lasting:
Notabag's design is timeless. It is aesthetically pleasing, but there are no characteristics that are specifically tied to a current trend, or any fad.
Good design is thorough down to the last detail:
Every detail of Notabag's design has been thought through, and serves a purpose.
Good design is environmentally-friendly:
Notabag's design eliminates the need for plastic bags. A Notabag can be used over, over, and over again. It can be rolled into a pouch so that it can be with you everywhere you go, whether it's used as a shopping bag or backpack.
Good design is as little design as possible:
Notabag's design is stripped down to its bare minimum. No additional features, materials or unnecessary shapes are implemented. It is meant to be purely functional.
In addition to wanting multifunctional products, consumers are also becoming more conscious about the environment. Many cities are enforcing laws to ban plastic bags. Notabag is an eco-friendly solution that simplifies our active, on-the-go lifestyle and addresses a real need.
Our goal for Notabag is not just to be a trend, but rather a product that creates a new place for itself in the marketplace. Our vision is to be able to take part in good causes and also collaborate with creative individuals. We want Notabag to become one of your favorite accessories. Please consider supporting us on Kickstarter.

Welcome to the consultation on the Fairtrade Standard for Flowers and Plants! Thank you for taking the time to participate. First you will find an introduction to the topic and consultation process and then you will be asked the consultation questions. The whole process should take you around 20 minutes.
1. General Introduction
Fairtrade Standards support the sustainable development of small-scale farmers and workers in the Global South. Producers and traders must meet applicable Fairtrade Standards for their products to be certified as Fairtrade. Within Fairtrade International, the Standards & Pricing Unit (S&P) is responsible for developing Fairtrade Standards. The procedure followed, as outlined in the Standard Operating Procedure for the Development of Fairtrade Standards, is designed by Fairtrade and compliant with all requirements of the ISEAL Code of Good Practice for Setting Social and Environmental Standards. This involves wide consultation with stakeholders to ensure that new and revised standards reflect Fairtrade International's strategic objectives, are based on producers' and traders' realities and meet consumers' expectations.
You are kindly invited to participate in this consultation on the Flowers and Plants Standard limited review. For this purpose, we kindly ask you to comment on the proposed changes to the requirements suggested in this document and encourage you to give explanations, analysis and examples underlying your statements. All information we receive from respondents will be treated with care and kept confidential.
Please submit your comments by 07.08.2014. If you have any questions regarding the project or the consultation process, please contact the Project Manager, Lucy Russell (email@example.com).
Following the consultation round we will prepare a paper compiling the comments made, which will be emailed to all participants and also be available at www.fairtrade.net/standards-work-in-progress.html under the section for the flowers and plants limited review project. Taking into account all the comments received, the draft standard will be amended and presented to the Standards Committee (SC) for approval in September 2014.
2. Background
The Fairtrade Standard for Flowers and Plants was introduced just over 10 years ago. Since then Fairtrade flowers have grown to become one of the top seven Fairtrade products, with more than 50,000 workers employed on Fairtrade certified flower farms in 2012.
However, Fairtrade plant sales have been significantly lower, with currently only three certified producer organizations. One reason for this is that the standard currently only allows for plants to be imported at a "finished stage", which is expensive due to high transport costs. The market opportunities for plants lie in trading young plants and young plant material, which are cheaper to transport.
Large amounts of labour are involved not only in the production of finished pot plants, but also in the production of young plant material. This labour is currently not certifiable and therefore workers involved cannot have the opportunity of benefitting from Fairtrade. National Fairtrade organizations (NFOs) have received specific requests from industry to allow for young plant material to be traded as Fairtrade certified, and in particular from retail for specific products such as Fairtrade poinsettia which are made out of young plants grown in developing countries. Global Product Management (GPM) for Flowers and Plants have been researching the feasibility and implications of such potential changes, both at producer and market level.
The proposals presented in this consultation paper aim to adapt the standard to the market realities and harness a growth opportunity so that increased sales in Fairtrade plants can impact more workers' lives, while at the same time addressing the identified risks.
3. Objectives
To broaden the scope of the Flowers and Plants Standard to include young plants and young plant material for plants. This would open up the scope to include different types of production systems, which would enable more market uptake, thereby increasing the reach of impact to more workers.

"I'M SORRY," HILTON KELLEY SAYS, letting out a dry, barking cough. "Ever since I moved back to Port Arthur three years ago I've had this." He gestures to his throat and coughs again.
I understand. I've been in Port Arthur for barely a day and I have a cough too. In fact, a lot of people I've run into in the Golden Triangle—the cities of Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange, along Texas' upper Gulf Coast—seem to have a barking cough. Maybe this is the result of pollen, but it is more likely the product of the region's notorious smog. In 1981 Harry Hurt III wrote about that smog and its potential health hazards in a Texas Monthly story titled "The Cancer Belt," in which he argued that the petrochemical plants and oil refineries in the area were causing more than just coughing. The lung-cancer death rate in Jefferson County (Beaumont and Port Arthur) at the time was 62.1 per 100,000, compared with 42 for the nation—a striking 48 percent difference. As its headline implied, Hurt's story made a compelling, if largely circumstantial, case that all that smoke belching from all those smokestacks accounted for the region's high cancer-mortality rates.
I have returned 22 years later to see if, given two decades of improved environmental regulation, research, activism, and awareness, the Cancer Belt should still be called that. Kelley runs an environmental group in Port Arthur and is one of many local residents who believe that it should. They say that air pollution from the plants and refineries continues to cause cancer at high rates. "Everyone here knows someone who has cancer or who has died of it recently, sometimes a child," Kelley tells me at a meeting of his Community In-power and Development Association. In fact, some five hundred area residents, including Kelley and many members of his group, are so upset that in late June they filed suit against six Port Arthur refineries, alleging that the companies' constant and often undocumented emissions have caused chronic health problems in their neighborhoods.
The pollution levels in the Golden Triangle these days are not reassuring. While emissions of most common pollutants are down as much as 50 percent or more since the late eighties, a significant part of that improvement is probably phantom. First, some chemicals that used to be measured have been "delisted," which automatically removes them from the statistics. Second, according to the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA), "fugitive" emissions from refineries—slow leaks from valves and pumps—may be five times greater than the plants detect or report. Third, according to Eric Schaeffer, a former EPA enforcement official who now heads the Washington, D.C.-based Environmental Integrity Project, there are chemical pollutants being released in the Golden Triangle that are not on the EPA's list, so they don't get measured. "I'd be skeptical of historical comparisons of emissions from the late eighties or early nineties," he says.
And while there may be an overall drop in pollutants, on any given day, levels of carcinogens in the air are often well over state and federal guidelines. When the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ( TCEQ) sampled the air around the Huntsman chemical plant and the Ameripol Synpol synthetic-rubber plant in Port Neches in 2000, its inspectors found levels of the carcinogen 1,3-butadiene that were nine times the state limit. (And remember, medical science still can't tell us how much, or how little, of the bad stuff it takes to actually cause cancer.)
Which may help to explain why residents of the Cancer Belt's six counties—Brazoria, Galveston, Harris, Jefferson, Montgomery, and Orange—are still dying of cancer at about the same rate that they were twenty years ago, according to a study by Texas Department of Health epidemiologist David Risser. In fact, the 2000-2002 average of the current cancer death rates in all six counties is actually 3 percent higher than the average from 1980 to 1982. And mortality rates for cancers commonly associated with industrial exposures are in some cases dramatically higher. In Orange County, for example, deaths from brain cancer have nearly quintupled since the eighties (none of the other counties saw an increase). And cancer isn't the half of it. A University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston study last year found that, cancer aside, residents of Beaumont-Port Arthur were three to six times as likely to complain of respiratory, nervous system, skin, cardiovascular, urinary, and other illnesses than residents of Galveston Island, which tends to be less affected by the smog in the region. But in spite of the grim statistics, it is difficult, often impossible, to scientifically prove a cause-and-effect link between environmental conditions and cancer. That means it is almost impossible to win a lawsuit claiming that poor air quality is responsible for your disease.
Industry spokesmen aren't exactly voluble on the subject. To find out how much money the petrochemical industry has spent on pollution-control equipment, I had to call an official in Jefferson County who could do no better than "hundreds of millions of dollars." You would think the industry would be anxious to trumpet such expenditures. Tom Purves, the refinery manager of Motiva Enterprises, of Port Arthur, did get on the line to say, "We're on a path to making things cleaner. Motiva signed an agreement with the EPA to voluntarily put a lot of these things in place ahead of regulations. This is a significant investment." But that only raises the scary prospect that even with all the investment and regulation—even with lower documented emissions—we're still not making much progress.
Let's start with the notion of "regulation." Part of the problem is that, for all the agencies and laws that we have created, the petrochemical industry remains essentially self-regulated—and poorly at that. One of the refineries' chief methods of self-regulation is "flaring"—a procedure in which potentially dangerous accumulations of vapors are diverted and burned off. It can be effective if the vapors burn at 99 percent efficiency. But if a refinery has to flare too

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2011 Ford Ranger Super Cab
By KBB.com Editors
The 2008 Ford Ranger finds itself surrounded by a number of newer and larger competitors, making it necessary for Ford to keep its compact truck competitive by offering numerous upgrades, fresh styling and rock-bottom pricing. In terms of size, only the Chevrolet Colorado, its sibling twins, the Isuzu i-Series and GMC Canyon and the Toyota Tacoma offer a regular-cab configuration, an appealing feature for those looking for a bare-bones truck. The Ranger SuperCab models feature two small rear doors, but no crew-cab model challenges similar vehicles from Dodge, Nissan and Toyota. With no V8 option under the hood, the Ranger also falls behind the class leaders in horsepower and towing capability.
If you need a compact pickup that is inexpensive to own and operate, the 2008 Ford Ranger is one of the best. Available in everything from base two-wheel drive to highly-capable off-roader, the Ranger is one tough truck.
If you need a pickup to haul heavy loads or transport four people on a regular basis, you may want to look at a midsize V8-powered pickup.
The STX trim is dropped from the lineup, reducing the trim packages to XL, XLT, Sport and FX4 Off-Road.
Driving Impressions The 2008 Ford Ranger's handling and road manners have seen improvement through a series of suspension changes that include stiffer bushings, springs and shocks. As a result, the Ranger's rear...end does not bounce around as much as it used to and the steering response remains firm. To keep the base truck affordable, Ford equips it with a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a five-speed manual transmission. This engine exhibits good acceleration so long as the Ranger is not weighted down with a heavy load. For those not so concerned with fuel economy, the 4.0-liter V6 is the engine of choice. Although not the most powerful in its class, the 4.0-liter engine provides the Ranger with brisk acceleration and a 6,000-pound tow rating when equipped with the 3.55:1 rear axle and automatic transmission.
Pioneer Sound System
The 290-watt Pioneer sound system blows away all other stock systems.
Updated Interior
The Ranger's updated interior and steering wheel give an upscale look to the compact pickup.
The Ranger has gotten a bit roomier than in generations past, with front seats that have deeply sculpted backs and new fabric choices. Legroom is not as generous as in some competitors, but SuperCab models do provide plenty of space behind the seats for luggage or groceries. As for backseat passenger room, the flip-down jump seats make for cramped accommodations and are best used for shorter trips. The Ranger features a number of audio upgrades, including a single CD player that can read MP3-formatted discs.Exterior
The familiar Ranger exterior receives a slight freshening, with a bold grille, three bright new colors and two attractive new wheel choices. Last year's extensive exterior reworking carries over for 2008 and includes a raised "power dome" hood and an aggressive front valence. The Regular Cab models feature six- and seven-foot beds, while the extended SuperCab models come with a longer wheelbase and a six-foot bed. SuperCab models also offer rear-hinged half doors, which allow easier access to the cab area.
The Ranger is equipped with a 2.3-liter engine, a five-speed manual transmission, anti-lock brakes (ABS), a tire pressure monitoring system, two front cup holders, dual side mirrors, AM/FM stereo, 60/40 vinyl split-bench seat, power steering, tachometer and 15-inch steel wheels.
Trim levels for the Ranger include XL, XLT, Sport and FX4 Off-Road. You can order your Ranger with shift-on-the-fly electronic four-wheel drive, five-speed automatic transmission, power windows, power locks, sliding rear window, cruise control, 290-watt Pioneer audio system, 3.0-liter V6 engine (Regular Cab), 4.0-liter V6 (SuperCab), limited-slip rear differential, fog lamps, 16-inch alloy wheels and leather seats. The FX4 Off-Road Package adds gas shocks, front and rear skid plates, larger all-terrain tires and sport bucket seats.
The base 2.3-liter engine is fine for those who use their trucks to get around town and pull light-duty chores. For those who do serious off-roading, towing or just like the feel of a V6, Ford offers a choice of two. The first is a 3.0-liter V6 that produces 148 horsepower. Though this engine offers only five more horses than the 2.3-liter, you'll find it provides a significant boost in torque. The real meat and potatoes for the Ranger are provided by the 4.0-liter V6 that produces 207 horsepower and 238 pound-feet of torque. If you are going with a V6, we highly encourage you to get the 4.0-liter, which will add about $800 to the price of most V6 trims.

"I've been very pleased with the reliability of the Ranger. No real mechanical issues. The normal replacement of belts, oil, etc that goes with owning a car or truck. Only complaint is that they placed plastic handles on the doors and tailgate of a truck. Really!!? It's a truck, not some kid's toy. I've had to replace 2 handles on the tailgate and would be more, but it cost $200 every time to go in and have it done. I'm too cheap to keep replacing it. Otherwise, I'm very pleased with it. I plan on running till the wheels fall off."

"This was a replacement for another small truck that had an engine that failed. The reliability has been excellent. The gas mileage is fair but this is a truck. The finish has been very durable and still looks new. Yes this is a 4 door but only very small people could fit in the rear. But having the rear door is very handy when shopping.

"I purchased the 2001 Ford Ranger XLT 4X4 4.0 V6 in 2012 with 97,000 miles. The truck was and is still in good condition. It presently has 140,000 miles on it. Since the purchase, I have had to make minor repairs such as break replacement (rear drum and front disc), fuel tank line(rust), and front differential (replaced with used) at 140,000. The truck is reliable, relatively good on gas for a 4.0. It gets about 20 mpg highway. I am generally satisfied with the vehicle and can rely on it for towing, off-roading, and commuting to work daily. Would recommend to any looking for a good deal on a reliable truck."

Rev. Rul. 2014-9 [PDF 27 KB] provides what an IRS transmittal message describes as "safe harbor due diligence procedures" that a plan administrator may follow in order to be deemed to have reasonably concluded that an amount was a valid rollover contribution.
Rev. Rul. 2014-9 further provides two new streamlined safe harbor due diligence procedures that, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, will give rise to the presumption that the administrator of the receiving plan reasonably concluded that a rollover was valid.
Rev. Rul. 2014-9 considers two factual situations.
In Situation 1, an employer maintains a profit-sharing plan that:
An employee is eligible to make rollover contributions to the plan; has a vested account balance in the prior employer's plan; and is eligible for a distribution under the terms of the prior plan.
In 2014, the employee requests a distribution of her vested account balance from the prior plan and elects that it be paid to the new employer's plan in the form of a direct rollover. A check is issued and payable to the trustee for the new employer's plan, for the employee's benefit. The employee delivers the check to the plan administrator and certifies that the distribution does not include after-tax contributions or amounts attributable to designated Roth contributions.
The plan administrator accesses the a database maintained by the Labor Department and searches for the most recently filed Form 5500 for the former employer's plan. The latest Form 5500, line 8a, does not include "code 3C" (i.e., for a plan not intended to be qualified under section 401, 403, or 408).
In Situation 2, the facts are the same except:
The IRS determined that:
The IRS indicated that when accepting a rollover from another qualified plan, the plan administrator of the plan accepting the rollover must review the latest Form 5500 filed by the former employer's plan, to conclude that the former employer's plan is a qualified plan. When the rollover funds are provided from an IRA, the IRS indicated the plan administrator must conclude the source of the funds is a traditional, non-inherited IRA.
Rev. Rul. 2014-9 concludes that in both situations, if it is later determined that the amount rolled over is an invalid rollover contribution, the amount rolled over plus any attributable earnings must be distributed to the employee "within a reasonable time" after such determination.

So don't take my word for it that Idol Lash works – Try it effectively for FREE & just pay the Shipping costs of $6 – even that has been discounted !! – TRIAL Link HERE
(NB: Please read the T&C's – See Below***)
My Review & Thoughts:
Everybody wants to feel confident…..& I am no different to others.
This confidence comes in a whole host of forms & one of the most important ones for us women, is our eyes! After all, aren't they the "the windows to the soul"…
So with 'eye confidence' in mind, this is what the makers of Idol Lash were thinking when they developed this products (to be honest that is just my take on it!). So, from the outset, I wanted to find out more, to see if it was the 'Real Deal'.
So I bought it & this is my honest review:
Idol Lash positions itself as an 'eyelash enhancer'.
- "Something that makes eye lashes – Longer, Thicker, Darker & Fuller"
All this in a matter of weeks (2 to 4 weeks to be exact) according to the claims.
What Does It Cost?
I've put this high up in the review, as like you, I hate getting all hyped up about something ….only then to find out that you have to give up your personal details in order to get to the prices!!
This is one of those sites….so when I ordered it I took a note of all the pricing options so I could update it here:
1 Pack – $39.95
2 Packs – $69.95 – 12.5% Saving
4 Packs (3 + 1 Free) – $119.95 – 25% Saving
6 Packs (4 + 2 Free) – $159.95 – 34% Saving
They ship the product Worldwide & to most Countries. To check that they ship to you – Just click the link to go to the official site – Official Idol Lash Website & on that page there is a 'Country Drop Down Box' – You don't have to fill in any details to find out that information.
What do they Claim?
The Co says that in 2-4 weeks of continual use that Idol Lash was clinically proven to increase eyelash density by up to 82%! & up to 25% increase in eye lash length.
Now that does seem a lot…. the study was based on 15 subjects…..and they were ranging in age of 24 yrs to 82 yrs! So they would say it would work for anyone!
They claim Idol Lash is very safe, even to those with sensitive eyes. It also says that Idol Lash works on thinning eyebrows to; but I could not find any further information as to what extent or what proof & I can't comment on this really as I don't 'suffer' from this issue…..but if you do & end up trying it, please get in touch with your results (good or bad) so I can update this review for others.
What is in Idol Lash?
Yep….the usual stuff. 'Polypep Made Up Vitamins'…..'B49 Beta Pro Serum'…..you know, the usual rubbish these Co's make up so we are 'WOW'ed' & have to purchase it.
It's what it does we are interested in…..not what's in it! (or is that just me?)
Idol Lash is Safe. Even for Sensitive eyes…..
What to real people have to say about Idol Lash?
Well there are the usual quotes that these Co's trawl out. While I am sure they are all 'genuine' & they could back them up in court, I am never that convinced & always do my own research.
I like to look at all the usual sites where the real people have had their say. The ones below are 2 that I found recently & that seemed pretty genuine in their review of Idol Lash.
As Idol Lash is sold direct, I went direct to get mine (Idol Lash Website)….& that is what you should do to get the best prices – as anybody selling on other sites will be 'adding their bit'.
The above link & any of the links on my site will take you straight to their website so you get the genuine article & at the cheapest prices.
Can Idol Lash Work For You?
I would/should write more…but it does. I have now tried it & it does work. I also know others (my friends basically that I have mentioned this to) that have tried it & they have all gotten results….not universally all excellent, but enough to warrant giving it a go & see for yourself.
* The one thing we all noticed is that the longer you use it, the better the results….2-4 weeks you do indeed see results, but for noticeable results 5-6 weeks is the reality *
The product has been around for years which is also a good sign that it does work & isn't a 'flash in the pan'. This was one of the main factors for me picking it, I have seen it about for ages & finally felt I 'had to jump in' !
Are There Any Side Effects Or Warnings?
Not Really.
This isn't some hormone treatment or an experimental medical procedure. It's an eyelash enhancer! They say it is 100% safe even for those with sensitive eyes…& I can confirm that I have no issues using it.
Idol Lash does work.
There are definitely differences with the results that some people see, but that is the same with most things in life. The longer you use it, the better the results…* Update – 22nd November 2014 – Like I said above, 5-6 weeks will give you very noticeable results, rather than the 2-4 weeks they quote, but it does effectively work' straight away.*
Whenever I am looking to buy a new product, I'll usually check websites like this one to see what the general feeling is about it, rather than going direct to the Co to get their over hyped sales pitch! …..which is why I am guessing you are reading this.
I hope my review has helped in some way & thanks for reading!!
Click here for - Official Idol Lash Website
*** NEW & EXCLUSIVE – 26th March 2015 ***
**** Not Sure??? – Then try Idol Lash for $6 !! – YES…just the cost of Shipping!! & I am the ONLY website that has it !! – Just use this EXCLUSIVE Link -
Exclusive Link - Trial Idol Lash For Only $6 – YES PLEASE!
***Trial T&C's – Like most of these trials you get 16 days to try the product & then they will send you the full product at normal cost unless you cancel the agreement. The way I see it is that if you were thinking of buying it anyway you get $40 of Idol Lash for $6 & a delayed payment on the something you were about to buy anyway – just my thoughts.
*Further Useful Information*

I have been using idol lashes for the past couple months and i have definitely seen a difference in my top and bottom aye lashes as well as the growth in my eye brows where i also have applied the serum. I really works when consistently used, I did notice that it takes a little longer for the hair to grown on my right bottom eye lashes but after applying it only to the bottom eye lashes on my right eye they have been growing to the same length as my left eye. I personally have been very satisfies and am a consistent buyer to make sure that i have my natural eye lashes instead of the eyelash extensions that everyone is getting. I happen to love rubbing my eyes in the morning without having to think about it.
I have successfully recommended Idol Lashes to co-workers and have had the same results after applying for a month or so.↓

Immigrant Group Size and Political Mobilization: Evidence from European Migration to the United States
Allison Shertzer
NBER Working Paper No. 18827
Immigration to democratic nations generates new groups of potential voters. This paper investigates how the electorate share of immigrant groups influences their decision to become politically mobilized. I consider two mechanisms through which electorate share could impact an immigrant's likelihood of voting: the contestability of local elections and the existence of ethnic social networks that facilitate political organization. Using newly assembled data on ethnic enclaves in American cities in the early twentieth century, I show immigrants were more likely to mobilize politically as their share of the local electorate grew larger, but only in places where the Democratic Party likely needed to their vote to win elections and where immigrants had established enclaves. I also consider the shape of the electorate share effect, showing it is nonlinear and in particular tapers off for groups larger than one fifth of the local electorate.

YEA! MN Students Ride the Bus to the People's Climate March
The new school year is just under way and YEA! MN is already hard at work. We kicked off the fall season with the YEA! MN Student Action Training to shake of the summer dust and get students geared up as critical leaders in their school communities. Eleven students from 7 different Twin Cities high schools spent their last Saturday afternoon of the summer learning new tools to empower their success as youth organizers in their school environmental clubs.
Learning through Connectivity
YEA! MN Year-End Retreat at Lake Country Land School Farm
The 2014 YEA! MN Retreat was definitely the best team bonding experience we've had so far this year. We've gained many new members compared to last year and over one night we became very close. We decided as a group we would take a trip to the Lake Country Land School Farm in Wisconsin. Our first day on the farm we got a tour of the farm and later on got to plant various types of squash and pumpkin. It's safe to say we are the fastest planters YEA! MN has ever seen. During the planting process we were able to get to know each other more which made it more of a bonding experience.
South High School Students Secure Hydration Station & Reduce Waste
Early last fall, Minneapolis South High School's environmental group, the Green Tigers, decided that a worthy project to pursue would be the installation of water bottle filling stations, affectionately coined "Hydration Stations". Our school, although legally unable to sell unhealthy snacks or soda in vending machines, continues to sell bottled water, which students buy regularly. Many students buy a bottle daily, which is both a waste of financial and natural resources. Our hope with installing hydration stations was that students would be motivated to bring a reusable bottle to fill with fresh and free water.

Thursday afternoon April 3rd, 300 protesters from across the Great Lakes region from multiple generations, marched with high spirits through the final fits of winter, to a contested case hearing, holding Enbridge on trial to re-examine the need to expand tar sands infrastructure, specifically Line 67, the Alberta Clipper, which would transport 800,000 barrels of tar sands oil per day across MN to Lake Superior. Young people brought their creative energy with chanting, drumming, and a pipeline puppet masquerade, which brought to life the speeches from organizers and respected community leaders at the send-off from Kellogg Park.

Ghost Peppers in Alberta
I'm looking for someone that has successfully grown and fully ripened ghost peppers in Alberta. This is my first year growing them. The habaneros are ripening but the ghost peppers are not changing color what so ever. I was hoping to get some input on how long they may take to ripen so that I can decide if I should move the plants indoors or not.
I am in Ontario & have grown ghost peppers (:
Once you see a bit of colour it won't be long. This year it took them 3-5 days from the 1st orangish blush to become deep red.
They ripened about 1 week after my 1st habanero & 2 weeks before my 1st Trinidad Scorpion Butch T.
Good luck
Thank you for the follow up. Finally someone in Canada that has successfully grown and ripened them. I was starting to think it was impossible a few weeks ago. I've had a few ripen and you were right about a week after the habaneros they started. I was surprised at how fast they turn color. I'm still waiting on a chocolate ghost pepper to fully ripen (it's more bright red color now) but supposed to be -4 & -6 here the next few evenings so it's probably time to take them in. What do you do with your unripe peppers? I have about 150 peppers that won't be plant ripened and don't think they will ripen indoors.
Sorry I missed the reply (:
I grow my superhots in containers & bring them inside in the fall. They all ripen in my sunny laundry room. It is too dark for new peppers to set, the blossoms just drop off. When they have all ripened I cut them back to where the main stem branches apart & water infrequently. Set them back out again in the spring.
I'm not sure what you could do with the green ones that you don't think will ripen... mine always turn colour eventually. You could try making sauce out of them anyway (:
Ghost Peppers sure are prolific. I have run out of things to do with mine (:

Why do so many news shows have those annoying drums to make the news more dramatic and urgent? Drives me nutso! I usually just want to catch some local stories but between the silicone Barbie dolls and the fake tans reporting these days and the breathless way their reports are delivered, I am ready to turn it off and use the web exclusively for the news.
Does anyone else but cranky old me feel this way?
I don't really like the news at all. They give just short tidbits and make big deals out of little stuff like what bonehead thing some candidate said without thinking. Also, it feels like every thing is violence and crime and some horrible thing that someone did. And so many "entertainment" shows about crime. Why should crime be entertainment? Is this ancient Rome? News seems to glorify it. I like to scan the news I want to see on the internet and avoid the news I don't want to watch. The best part of TV news for me is the weather! I know other people like it too because they keep teasing you by saying before all the breaks that the weather is coming up...any time soon....after a few zillion commercials. Sometimes, I catch a story that really interests me, but usually, I don't want to see all the crime they report. It gets so that people get de sensitised to it and I wish that wouldn't happen.
Do any of you watch Current TV on cable? Sometimes they have some really interesting news and world news that is made by local people or independent news journalists. It feels different than the major networks. More honest sometimes and less produced and glossy. I wonder if that is really the case. I liked the French news when it was on my cable. It was subtitled so I could understand it. I like different perspectives. I wish we could get the news from all the nations. I think it's good to have other points of view presented.

One small step for RAM...
April 25, 2012 // By James Candelaria
The data storage and memory market is creeping towards a critical juncture. Whilst the solid state storage has been historically dominated by the likes of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) and (NAND) Flash, the limits of solid-state physics have finally come into play.
OEMs, device manufacturers and system designers alike are chomping at the bit to find suitable alternatives for future applications.

I know what the docs are typically starting people on, but is there some kind of chart or conversion thats used to figure what i should of been inducted at?

If you will go to your profile, click on questions and answers and then you should see a prompt saying my private questions , click that.there is a two part video from suboxdoc on YouTube explaining how suboxone/bupenorphine works, and he says as few as 4 mgs can work for a new patient. You have to consider one size does not fit all though, if you will look up suboxdoc and maple2609, and watch their vids, it might answer many questions for you. Just qwelling withdrawal is not always enough for.every patient to heal, the cravings have to stop, addiction should be obtained, support must happen, and lifestyle changes may need to occur.please do read my pq, there are some things that will help in there.patti

Hey b80m4rl,
You might also check out the following site:
Well that certainly sheds some light-Its awesome to know that its common practice for suboxone to be administered at 2mg doses then higher if needed-I guess my doc skipped that step and just told me my 1st dose should be 8mg. That kinda pisses me off since even he himself told me at my 1st appointment that the amount of hydros i was taking wasnt very much... yet it was necessary to start me at 8mg of subx. Ive never taken it before and even i knew that it felt like too much. I think that sucks. Thanks for the link
Right?? My doc shoulda started me low, and worked up from there in my opinion. Its common sense, especially since he told me the amount of hydro i was taking wasnt even a lot... Maybe he's trying to secure his payments by makin sure im on for a nice long ride-I dont want that. Im trying to educate myself as much as possible so dont end up worse than i already was.

VIDEO: Case Keenum talks about his 6th year at UH
Posted by Chip Patterson
Case Keenum overcame the odds by being granted a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA after tearing an ACL in the third game of his senior season. Keenum has arguably established himself as one of the greatest quarterbacks in Houston football history, and is closing in on a majority of the major passing records at the NCAA level. However, when Keenum went down against UCLA it appeared those records would stay in tact.
But the NCAA is not going to keep a talent like Keenum off the field in order to preserve records. He will return to the field in a limited fashion this spring, and expects to be full strength for the start of the 2011 season. His return has made the Cougars a threat once again in Conference USA, as he will try to lead Houston back to the postseason after a five-year bowl streak was snapped in 2010.
He recently sat down during a Houston basketball game to discuss his return to Houston for a sixth year, as well as some of his talents on the hardwood back in the day.

Houston files paperwork for Keenum's sixth year
Posted by Chip Patterson
As expected, the University of Houston has filed an appeal with the NCAA requesting a sixth year of eligibility for quarterback Case Keenum. Keenum, the school's all-time leading passer, had his senior year cut short in the third game when he went down with a knee injury against UCLA. In 2009, Keenum wowed Cougars fans by throwing for 48 touchdowns and amassing over 5800 yards of total offense.
After being named the Conference USA Player of the Year, hopes were high for Keenum and the Houston squad coming into 2010. With another big season, Keenum could possibly become the NCAA all-time leader in total passing yards.
But the injury has kept Keenum from accomplishing that in his fifth year, as well as hurt his stock in the NFL Draft. So Houston is doing their part to try and grant him that redshirt senior season he did not get in 2010. According to the NCAA rules, a player may only be granted a sixth year of eligibility if they can prove that the player has missed two seasons due to circumstances out of his control.
What does not bode well for Keenum is that the NCAA normally does not consider a team-issued redshirt (Keenum's first season on campus) as one of those situations. Keenum's best chance in the appeal is the timing of the knee injury, and hoping to get some sympathy from the appeals committee.

Case Keenum applying for medical redshirt
Posted by Chip Patterson
Houston star quarterback Case Keenum has decided to petition the NCAA for a sixth year of eligibility. Keenum's 2010 season was finished when he tore his ACL in a 31-13 loss to UCLA in the third game of the season. He has already had a career for the record books at Houston, as the Cougars' career passing leader and fifth on the NCAA career passing yardage list at 13,587. Keenum underwent successful surgery and now
"After talking this over with my family and people close to me, I have decided to try for another year of eligibility," Keenum said in a statement released through UH. "This ending wasn't exactly what I predicted for my senior year, and because I care so much about this team and this university, I would love to be able to play one more season. I don't know what the outcome will be, but I at least want to see the whole process through. I thank coach (Kevin) Sumlin and the athletic department for their help in this appeal."
Clearly Keenum is upset with the way his career as a Cougar has potentially ended, but it is likely that this decision has just as much to do with the timing of the injury in relation to the NFL Draft. Normally the recovery period for ACL surgery can last as many as eight or nine months, with the actual date of the draft falling about seven months after Keenum's operation. Another factor in the decision is likely the dreaded collective bargaining agreement, and the threat of a lockout for the 2011 season. Regardless of the outcome, Keenum needs to hope for a speedy decision. He is set to graduate in December and if he is granted an extra year must rearrange his academic schedule by mid-January.

Is Case Keenum's injury a blessing in disguise?
Posted by Adam Jacobi
There can't be many positives that come out of a 31-13 loss for a ranked team -- especially when the victor is UCLA -- but Houston's loss yesterday is going to hamper the Cougars for the rest of the season.
During the game, All-American quarterback Case Keenum tore his ACL while trying to make a tackle (incidentally, not the first time he's been hurt like that this season), and is done for the year. His backup, Cotton Turner, then broke his clavicle one quarter later. He's also out for the balance of the season. And just like that, one of the best positional units in the country is now one of the most unstable. Freshman Terrance Broadway is expected to take the majority of snaps now, but there's really no telling how he'll perform.
Ironically, if Keenum were singularly focused on setting collegiate passing records, this injury might actually be something of a blessing; Keenum's injury came during the third game of the 2010 season, meaning he's almost assured of receiving clearance for a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA. The NCAA's cutoff for medical hardship waivers is 30% of a season, after all, and our trusty calculator here tells us Keenum participated in only 25% of this season.
Further, ACL tears aren't the catastrophes they used to be; while Keenum's season is most certainly over, an 8- to 9-month recovery period puts him on the practice field by the start of summer. That means Keenum only needs 4,122 yards to break the record next season, rather than the 4,758 he needed coming into this year. While we wouldn't recommend "season-ending injury in the middle of senior year" as a path to statistical glory, of course, we are just sayin' -- three extra starts never hurt anyone's stats.
Oh, and this injury has no relation -- karmic or otherwise -- to the poor decision Houston made in starting Keenum so quickly after suffering "concussion-like symptons" (NOTE: this is, effectively, a concussion, and Houston was trying to draw a distinction without a difference in obfuscating the matter). Keenum should not have started, but an extra week of recovery for his brain would have had no bearing on whether his knee was injured.

Keenum cleared to play for Houston against UCLA
Posted by Chip Patterson
The Houston Cougars only get three opportunities in the 2010 regular season to showcase their squad against a school from a BCS AQ conference. One of those opportunities is against the UCLA Bruins on Saturday night in the Rose Bowl.
After receiving a big hit on an interception against UTEP on Friday night, quarterback Case Keenum "displayed symptoms of a mild concussion" and was held out for the rest of the game. All week, Keenum has been listed as day-to-day and his status was unknown against the Bruins.
Houston, currently ranked No. 23 in the AP poll, relies on Keenum to lead the high-octane offense that is currently first in the nation in total points and ninth in passing yards. Luckily for Houston, Keenum has been cleared to play.
As part of the University of Houston's concussion management program "an athlete would take approximately one week to proceed through the full rehabilitation protocol once they are asymptomatic at rest and provocative exercise."
The UCLA game is outside the minimum requirements UH guidelines provide for its athletes to overcome symptoms related to concussions.
However, there is no guarantee Keenum will actually see action against the Bruins.There are still variables that can trigger the recurrence of concussion-like symptoms according to Dr. Walter Lowe, who is one of the University of Houston's team doctors and is on the school's concussion management team.
So while there is no guarantee that Keenum will start against UCLA, the fact that he has been medically cleared at this point is a great sign for Houston. The Heisman hopeful has been stellar even in very limited action, throwing for over 500 yards and five touchdowns in what amounts to about a game and a half.
Keenum's backup, junior Cotton Turner, played well in Keenum's absence against UTEP. Stepping in to complete 17 of 21 passes and throw for a pair of touchdowns himself. However, UCLA will present a more formidable defense than the Miners, and having Keenum under center will help ease any concerns of a potential upset from the Bruins.

QB's uncertain on both sides for Houston-UCLA
Posted by Chip Patterson
The showdown between No. 23 Houston and UCLA is a pivotal one of the high-powered Cougars, with it being one of three games on the schedule against BCS AQ schools. A chance to showcase their top-ranked offense against one of it's more formidable opponents, and also a chance for Heisman hopeful quarterback Case Keenum to try and rack up numbers on a more national stage.
But first he needs to be medically cleared to play. Keenum is still listed as day-to-day after leaving the game in the Cougars' 54-24 win over UTEP on Friday. Keenum took a blow to the head while throwing an interception, and was "displaying signs of a mild concussion" but has been "improving dramatically," according to Houston head coach Kevin Sumlin.
Things are just as ambiguous on the other side of the ball for the Bruins with their signal callers. Starting quarterback Kevin Prince has struggled to get back to 100 percent since sitting out most of the preseason with a strained oblique. Prince then injured his shoulder in UCLA's 31-22 season opening loss to Kansas State. Prince shared time in practice with Richard Brehaut, and the sophomore eventually took over for Prince after an unproductive first half in UCLA's 35-0 loss to Stanford. Brehaut was unable to get much going himself, but it has left UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel with no clear-cut favorite for starting quarterback.
"We'll see. We'll watch practice. The effectiveness of the quarterback position is critical, so we want to make sure we have someone out there who knows what he's doing and does it well. At the end of the day, as long as (Prince's) health is good, it comes down to performance. To date, the performance hasn't been what it needs to be."Neuheisel went on to reiterate that there is no decision and he has found himself second-guessing his decision to start Prince the first two games of the season.
