An estimated five to 10 million infants and preschoolers participate in formal aquatic instruction programs throughout the United States. Programs for the littlest water bugs focus on getting them comfortable in the water as well as helping parents become aware of basic safety measures (for instance, whenever infants or toddlers are in or around water, an adult should be within arm's reach, providing "touch supervision"). But when your child hits the age of four, he is developmentally ready to undergo formal swimming lessons. And every child should learn how to swim to reduce the risk of drowning.
"The best approach is to make everything about water fun and positive," says Caroline Kaczor, aquatics and health director at Sportime NY. "Take baby steps," she suggests. "At bath time, start small by getting your child to pour cups of water on his or her head. Let your child lead the operation depending on her comfort level."
But what if your son or daughter isn't so eager to get wet? Whether due to fear of the water or a simple aversion to feeling cold, some youngsters just don't want to get in the pool to learn. Remember that, as Kaczor reiterates, "It's best not to force anything if the child is fearful." But there are always measures parents can take to ease their child's transition from non-swimmer to willing participant. To help you, we asked local experts - including summer camp owners and aquatics directors - for their advice.
Ask the Experts:
How can I encourage my child to learn how to swim if she is completely uninterested or afraid?
"The most effective way to encourage a child who is scared is to begin to speak about what will happen before even getting close to the water. Parents should talk about the fun that they had learning to swim, and how they look forward to going in the pool with their children. Whenever possible, get right into the pool with your kids; that goes a very long way toward making them comfortable with their surroundings.
If you plan on giving them swim lessons, remember to look for a program that meets your needs-one with qualified water safety instructors (preferably Red Cross WSI certified), and one that allows you as the parent to be present for the lessons, especially for the first few if your child has fear. And always be positive and encouraging no matter how the child is progressing!"
-Jack Grosbard, owner, Mill Basin Day Camp
"Not building a fear of the water is important. Always start off slow, putting the child on the deck of the pool with his or her feet in the water. Be patient, as it can take a few weeks to ease them into the water. Once they become comfortable with their surroundings, then children's fear of the water tends to go away. Never push or force a child into the water; that will just create a bad experience that will be remembered forever."
-Howard Seidman, camp director (and former aquatics instructor), Hillcrest Jewish Center Day Camp, Fresh Meadows
"Establish pool safety rules such as: only enter the pool if an adult is watching; and, no running around the pool area. Don't focus on what can happen if the rules are broken, but be clear that the rules must be followed.
Trust is extremely important. If you say that you'll be there to catch your child, show him continually that you will catch him when he says he needs you. Show your child how much fun you have while swimming in the pool as he watches from the side. This may make him want to join you.
Most of the children I've worked with who were fearful or uncomfortable about swimming began to enjoy the pool experience while sitting on the first couple of steps. Let children play with underwater dive toys in the shallow water from the safety of the steps, where they feel comfortable and in control of the situation. When you're little, that pool can look extremely daunting! Practice kicking, putting her face in the water (even if it's just a little bit at a time) and reaching underwater for toys. The more at ease the child is near the water, the more likely she will have the desire to learn how to swim."
-Caroline Kaczor, aquatics and health director, Sportime NY, with locations on Randall's Island, in Westchester, and throughout Long Island

Concrete is being used to fill two so-called "sink holes" that are threatening the stability of homes in Lake Macquarie near Newcastle.
The first hole opened up underneath a three-storey home on Lambton Parade at Swansea Heads, forcing the residents inside to evacuate last night.
Emergency crews were called when neighbours noticed the hole had caused the front corner of the house to sink, extensively damaging the property.

Cool temperatures and a drop in wind speed have offered firefighters relief today, but the New South Wales fire situation remains dynamic and dangerous.
The crisis has claimed at least one life - a 63-year-old man who collapsed and died while defending his home on the Central Coast late yesterday.
Authorities are beginning to get a clearer picture of the scale of destruction and say hundreds of homes have been lost across the state.
In the worst-hit areas in the Blue Mountains, the Rural Fire Service says 30 per cent of properties have been inspected, with 81 confirmed lost and 37 damaged.
More than 20 bushfires continue to burn uncontained in parts of NSW, as more than 2,000 firefighters, including interstate reinforcements, are involved in battling the blazes.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has praised the efforts of fire crews: "These are ordinary people who, on an extraordinary day, come together to support their community and to protect their fellow Australians."

A signature feature of our photography at Teen Identity is bringing girls together. Whether they are being photographed as a group or individually, we create a team-like atmosphere.
Yes, it can appear to be madness and mayhem at times. There are so many moving parts that if you're not organized and efficient it can get out of hand and devolve rapidly.
BUT, if you can stay ahead of your time, manage the moving pieces and surround yourself with a trusted team, the results can be stunning.
This past weekend, we had another team shoot with EIGHT GIRLS ranging from junior high to high school senior. The diversity in every aspect of the girls from size, color, age, and personality is absolutely breathtaking. I say this after every photo shoot, but I believe Teen Identity has the most amazing group of girls anywhere! (I know I'm biased, just go with it.)
Many have asked how we do it all… how I do it all.
You're about to find out.
So I'll be posting a series of articles about the steps we took to create this latest photo shoot. From the practical aspects of pre-planning, styling, and makeup to more general philosophy on concept and execution of ideas.
Below is a list of topics I'll be covering:
- Hair & Makeup Tips for Black and White Photography
- Adding Your Own Style and Flair to Every Image
- No More Awkward Photos: How to Guide for Posing Teen Girls
- Capturing Personality in Every Image
- Styling and Wardrobe for Teen and Senior Portrait Shoots
- Location Scouting for Photo Shoots
- Make Everything a Learning Opportunity
- Prep, Plan, and Be Prepared
- The Power of Creative Constraints
- Execute Your Obvious Ideas (Obvious to You, Amazing to Others)
- It's Always Easier to Start Small
- Why You Should Treat Your Clients Like Friends
- Little BIG Things You Can Do to Make a Difference
So what are YOU most excited about reading and learning?
Let me know in the comments and I may bump up that idea in the schedule! I may also delete or add topics to the list as we progress!
I'm also speaking again about Redefining Teen and Senior Portrait Photography in a Master Class at WPPI. If you're there, make sure to look me up! I'll be covering many of these topics and concepts in our class together.

On Tuesday, the Federal Circuit affirmed an U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) reexamination decision, upholding the rejection of certain claims of a Flo Healthcare Solutions, LLC patent. In Flo Healthcare Solutions, LLC v. Kappos, the Court held that the PTO erred in construing claim terms under 35 U.S.C. §112, ¶6, but the Court agreed with the ultimate decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (formerly the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences) on claim construction. In applying the claim construction to the prior art cited in the re-examination, the Court reviewed the PTO's legal conclusions without deference.
Judges Plager and Newman filed concurring opinions discussing the standard of review applied to Board claim construction decisions. Both Judges noted that various prior Federal Circuit decisions applied inconsistent standards, mostly without acknowledging that the other standard exists. For one standard, the Federal Circuit gives deference to the PTO Board's prior decision and determines whether the Board's interpretation of the disputed claim language is reasonable, i.e., not arbitrary and capricious. The Federal Circuit at times uses a different standard, stating that claim construction is a question of law that is reviewed de novo, i.e., giving no deference to the Board's prior decision. Judge Plager noted that a recent Federal Circuit decision suggested a third possible standard of review for Board claim construction, which on its face appears to be a blend of the other two standards.

unidentified pests on ficus,threadsize ,white.
These things appeared on a ficus tree of mine. Nobody I have asked can ID them. They are threadlike, whiteish,up to 1/2 in. in length, curl up when sprayed with water and or insecticides, alcohol,etc. they uncurl when they 'dry'? They are attached to the bark. I have not seen any crawling around ,so I do not know how they got all over the plant.
Please has anyone else seen these things. I have sprayed them, did systemic treatment, nothing will kill them. I wiped tree with detergent mixture, even alcohol. I think they are aliens. Help!
rhizo, I agree , not mealy bugs. This pic is blurred so it may not help. I lost other images. These things are on every branch . they hang, some stand straight up, some sort of curl. They look like tiny worms? They all 'curl' up when sprayed. They are about the size of a hair. Nothing kills these aliens.I forgot to say these are only attached on the bark ,none on leaves, They are attached at one end of their 'body' and they do not crawl from their spot, just stay there, the branches die off slowly. It is like they suck the life from it.
This post was edited by margaretwyker on Mon, Aug 5, 13 at 11:32
The plant was inside until 3 weeks ago.It was beautiful, and healthy. These things appeared out of 'nowhere'. It is not bark or aerial roots. 'It' is a living creature.
The ones I have removed just seem dead. They are so tiny ,like hair, they appear to be flat and you can 'see' light through them, although they are white. The longest ones are maybe 1/2 " long, but most are shorter. The end that is in the tree bark is a tiny needle like point ,I assume this is how it feeds and stays on the tree. I have other types of plants that were next to the Ficus , but the 'things' never got on them. Thank you all for your help. I live in North Alabama.
Weird. I don't know what they are either. I assume you've sprayed the plant with insecticide?
Hope you can get rid of them.
*Oh, sorry.......I just reread your first post and see you already tried insecticide. Good luck!
This post was edited by elkay on Wed, Aug 7, 13 at 12:18
Im sorry but you dont have an infestation of anything. Its a natural part of the tree. Every Single one of my ficus trees has this. The 'mouth' isn't stuck to the branch of the tree, it is the branch of the tree. There is no mouth, you do not have bugs on your plant. Eventually tugging and pulling on all of them, and spraying with everything under the sun is going to harm your plant.
Again, theres nothing wrong (as said before) Keep up the good work its growing well!
Is there any possible chance of an image that can be used for identification purposes?
I am much more inclined to agree with grrr. Aerial roots, especially if very fine, would react to chemical treatment in the way you describe.
Did the appearance of these things coincide with the plant being put outside?
These things appeared while the plant was inside ,and has been in the same environment for 7 years. I moved it outside in hopes nature would remedy the problem. It seems that the natural elements are dealling with them, seem to have trouble dealing with the heat, but tree is still alive. i just cannot accept it being roots. They are alive.
I just looked at my own ficus trees. I have the same thing, on the trunk and branches. Looks like if you were to 'peel' your finger nail. Its a part of the bark, its attached to the plant. You have no reason to fear that your plant is infested. Theres nothing wrong with it.
However if you are still believing that this is some sort of problem, cut the branch off. cut off every part of the tree that has them.

This application is a nonprovisional of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/600,971, filed Aug. 12, 2004, now pending. Priority to this application is claimed under 35 U.S.C. �� 119, and the disclosure of this application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The invention relates to a low-cost wireless data communication device that extends the operating carrier frequency of devices such as wireless Local Area Network (�LAN�) equipment to the millimeter wave frequency band and further reduces the number of components necessary for such extension.
Computer systems such as personal computers, notebook computers, laptop computers, computer terminals, personal digital assistants (�PDAs�) and other data processing units may be interconnected via a particular type of wireless data network, a Wireless Local Area Network (�wireless LAN�). In such a configuration, terminal devices include a communication controller such as a Media Access Controller (�MAC�) to interface data processing equipment and a wireless transceiver. The controller selects the radio channel at which the radio transceiver operates, organizes data for transmission and reception across the wireless LAN, and performs error correction and other functions.
Typically, the transceiver used by these devices to communicate via the wireless LAN is a superheterdyne radio frequency (�RF�) device. In the conventional transceiver, an antenna receives signals and provides them to a bandpass RF filter, or diplexer, that selects only the RF signals and radio noise within a predetermined bandwidth of interest. Radio noise outside of the predetermined bandwidth of interest are attenuated. The selected RF signals and noise are amplified by a noise amplifier prior to conversion to an Intermediate Frequency (�IF�) by the receiver mixer.
When transmitting, a converter passes signals to one or more output transmit filters. These filters, also known as the �transmit side� of the diplexer, attenuate those signals outside of a desired predetermined transmit bandwidth. A power amplifier may also be used to amplify signals before or after those signals are received by the transmit filters.
Wireless LAN equipment is easy to deploy since it eliminates the need for connecting cables and wires to each network device. Thus, not only do wireless laptops have access to a wireless LAN, but deploying desktops and other workstations is easier as well. Indeed, the popularity of wireless LAN equipment has grown so rapidly that frequently in urban areas, two or more wireless LAN signals intersect each other at multiple points. In urban areas where the computing equipment of different companies or people is in close proximity to each other, this intersection phenomenon of two or more wireless LAN signals is becoming increasingly frequent. However, known systems for extending the range of wireless data communication devices have until now required the use of expensive networking components. Thus, a need has arisen for a wireless network communication device that extends the viable wavelength of wireless communication but further reduces the cost associated in the extension.
The present invention is provided to solve the problems discussed above and other problems, and to provide advantages and aspects not provided by prior systems of this type. A full discussion of the features and advantages of the present invention is deferred to the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The present invention is a device herein referred to as a �transconverter� that is easily coupled to existing final stage radio equipment in a wireless LAN transceiver. The transconverter up-converts transmitted WLAN signals and down-converts received WLAN signals to and from a millimeter wave frequency band. The resulting wireless signals, being located in a millimeter wave frequency band far away from the more traditional unlicensed wireless LAN frequency bands, do not interfere with signals from other devices.
A single oscillator, frequency multiplier, and mixer combination is used for processing both transmit direction signals and receive direction signals. This reduces the cost of the transconverter from those of previous transconverter designs that would use separate heterodyne stages for the transmit and receive functions of the device.
More particularly, the transconverter is a type of single-ended transceiver that makes use of a bi-directional IF-to-millimeter wave converter. This specifically includes a local oscillator source, and a frequency multiplier that are coupled to one terminal of a single balanced mixer. The other two terminals of the balanced mixer are coupled to a pre-modulated IF signal terminal and a millimeter wave frequency terminal. A filter associated with the mixer is coupled to the millimeter wave terminal that may be in turn coupled to an antenna. Optionally, a power amplifier or low noise amplifier module may be coupled between the filter and antenna.
For example, the transconverter may shift an input IEEE 802.11B compatible signal from an operating range of 2.4 GHz up to a millimeter wave frequency range in the 20 GHz band. However, it should be understood that other frequency ranges and multiply shifts can be used. For example, an 802.11A device operating in the 5.8 GHz band may be transconverted to 40 GHz or higher.
The power amplifier or low noise amplifier stage may take several forms. In one embodiment, where low-gain transmit signals are acceptable at the millimeter wave frequency, circulators may be used to isolate a power amplifier path from a low noise amplifier path. However, in such instances as where high power amplifiers are preferable, it is still useful to use the transconverter design of the present invention. In particular, these implementations may be used in a Time Division Duplex (�TDD�) signaling environment, wherein bias signals may control the operation of a power amplifier or low noise amplifier. In addition, a bi-static mode may be used to physically isolate the transmit and receive signal paths.
In a preferred embodiment, the transconverter of the present invention is conveniently packaged within a housing. The housing may contain standard 802.11 wireless LAN equipment such as packaged in PCMCIA-formatted circuit boards. The housing contains the transconverter electronics, but also the millimeter wave antenna, and a data processor interface port.
Other features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following specification taken in conjunction with the following drawings.
To understand the present invention, it will now be described by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
While this invention is susceptible of embodiments in many different forms, there is shown in the drawings and will herein be described in detail preferred embodiments of the invention with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the broad aspect of the invention to the embodiments illustrated.
Referring to
The transconverter 10 is a bi-directional converter that accepts an intermediate frequency signal at one input terminal of the mixer 104. The signal is converted up to a higher frequency by the filter 106, and passed to the antenna 110. Thus, the transconverter 10 can convert an input standard wavelength radio frequency signal to a millimeter range higher frequency signal.
Conversely, the transconverter 10 accepts a non-standard millimeter range wavelength radio signal via the antenna 110. The signal is filtered through the filter 106, and is converted down to a standard wavelength signal via the balanced mixer 104. Thus, the transconverter 10 can convert an input millimeter range signal to a standard wavelength radio frequency signal.
The balanced mixer 104 is a three terminal device having a first terminal A that is associated with an intermediate frequency signal port, a second terminal B associated with a local reference signal, and a third terminal C associated with a millimeter wave port for the filter 106. The intermediate frequency signal fed to port A of the mixer 104 is a pre-modulated signal. In one instance of the present invention, the transconverter 10 works with a wireless local area network equipment where the standard signal is in the range of, for example, 2.4 to 2.483 GHz, such as in an IEEE 802.11B compliant environment. In a 802.11A compliant environment, the signal is typically near 5.8 GHz.
In a preferred embodiment, the transconverter 10 communicates with a wireless local area network modem 20. The model 20 includes a data processor interface 202, encoder 204, decoder 206, modulator 210, demodulator 212, diplexer 214, and controller 208. When the modem 20 is transmitting, signals are received from the data processing interface 202 and are fed to the signal encoder 204 and then to the modulator 210. This signal is then fed through the diplexer 214 to the intermediate frequency port, and typically then fed to a wireless network antenna.
When the modem 20 is receiving radio signals, the signal is fed from the antenna port to the diplexer 214 and then to the modulator 212, then to the decoder 206, and then to the interface 202. The controller 208 controls the encoder 204 and decoder 206, and the interface 202 to provide signals in a desired format to data processing equipment located at, for example, a personal computer. For example, the interface 202 may be an Ethernet-10 Base T port, 100 Base T, Gigabit Ethernet, or other suitable data processing interface.
The transconverter 10 uses a single balanced mixer 104 to accomplish both the conversion of standard wavelength signals to a millimeter range wavelength, and the conversion of a millimeter range wavelength signal to a standard wavelength signal. The oscillator 100 and multiplier 102 are chosen to provide the desired shift from or to the intermediate frequency band from or to the millimeter range frequency band. By using the components to achieve both the up-conversion and down-conversion of signals as necessary, the transconverter 10 thus reduces the cost associated with the conversion and without the need for heterodyne mixer, filter, or other expensive millimeter wave component.
The specific factor N by which the input signal is translated to a higher wavelength signal is chosen according to the desired separation in wavelength between the input and output signals. For example, if the multiply factor N is equal to 2, an input frequency signal of 12.9 GHz can be converted to an output signal of 25.8 GHz. The mixer thus produces the output millimeter wave signal in the 28.2 to 28.28 GHz range. It should be understood that other multiply factors can be used to shift input and output signals without departing from the principles of the present invention.

A cut in half white pumpkin with a creepy spider's nest inside can become one of those Halloween decorations that every your guest will notice. If it will also glow from the inside they won't forget it. To make such pumpkin you need slice off 1 inch from two opposite sides of the pumpkin, screw black drywall screws around the edges, place a plastic black spider inside and stretch fake spider webbing over the screw heads. To make it glow just put a LED candle inside
Cool idea for Halloween pumpkins! Carve one large hole in the face, push screws or nails into the edges of the opening, and loop on some string to make a creepy glowing spider web!

It also has the most sand in its soil and makes the lightest wine (relatively; none of the domaines wines are truly light in the sense of what in the Loire is called a vin de soif, or wine of thirst). First planted in the early 1970s, these vines average 40 years old."
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate.

Originally written on Down and Distance | Last updated 11/19/14
21 Oct 1990: Wide receiver Andre Reed of the Buffalo Bills catches the ball as New York Jets defensive back James Hasty tackles him during a game at Rich Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. The Bills won the game, 30-27. Mandatory Credit: Rick Stewart /
Over the years, the Bills have had elite wide receivers post excellent numbers, but there's one record that star wideout Stevie Johnson has that stands above the rest. Johnson is about to do something that legendary Buffalo Bills like Andre Reed and Eric Moulds couldn't accomplish… Post back-to-back-to-back 1000 yard receiving seasons. No Buffalo Bill had ever had back-to-back 1000 yard receiving seasons until Johnson eclipsed 1000 with an 18 yard touchdown catch in a week 17 matchup against New England last year. Now, with 891 yards this season and two games to play this season, 1000 yards is definitely a possibility. With the playoffs now out of the question, Johnson seems to be one of the few Bills to still be putting 100% heart into every game, every snap, every route. "It's the motivation for now," Johnson said to Buffalobills.com in an interview. "First it was get to the playoffs, now since that's out of the picture. Now it's two things really, playing for my coaches, playing for my teammates and a thousand yards. Being the only receiver to have three straight 1,000-yard seasons would be cool. That's what it's come to." Johnson hauls one in against Kansas City (Photo credit to espn.com) Johnson has shown an increased maturity in every facet this season after questions have arisen in the last few years about his maturity. From excessive celebration penalties ("Why so Serious?" and "The Jet") to the infamous "God" tweet, fans and experts questioned whether he was mature enough to excel in this league. After signing a new deal with Buffalo during the offseason, Johnson has been nothing but a class act this season. Not only has he matured mentally, but his game has seemed to only get better as the season goes on. His incredible one-handed catch against Seattle last week is proof that he's only getting better. The former Kentucky Wildcat and 224th overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft is quickly becoming a leader on a team that seems to lack leadership and teammates are taking notice. "He's developing into that role as a leader, not only of the receiver group, but a leader on the team and on our offense. No longer do we have Lee Evans or whoever it is, guys that he used to looked up to, to make the big play, to do all that stuff to get us going—Stevie realizes that that's him. He's going to be the guy that has to do something unbelievable." Said Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick when asked about Stevie's leadership. No doubt that Stevie Johnson is one to watch in the coming years. If he (along with the team) continues to improve, I truly believe he could be a huge threat to defenses across the league. If Stevie continues to improve like this, he could be looking at more than just three straight 1000 yard seasons. There hasn't been much for Bills fans to look forward to this year, but Stevie Johnson is definitely one to watch. The post Stevie Johnson closing in on Bills receiving record appeared first on DOWN & DISTANCE.

Sochi Olympics 2014: Lindsey Vonn delivers major blow to the Games with announcement she will not compete
The American had hoped to return in time for the Games in Russia
Tuesday 07 January 2014
Lindsey Vonn, the defending downhill champion and winter sport's biggest star, will miss the Sochi Olympics after failing to recover from a knee injury. It is a crushing blow not only to the 29-year-old but also to the US team, US broadcasters and the organisers coming on the day they marked a month to go until the Games begin.
Vonn is skiing's most recognisable face and one of the few winter sport athletes who transcends their discipline. Her gold in Vancouver four years ago – the first for the US in the women's downhill – earned her widespread fame at home, a status that was only added to last year when she started going out with Tiger Woods.
Vonn, who also won a bronze in the super-G in Vancouver, tore ligaments in her right knee in a crash at the world championships in February. After undergoing surgery she was out of action for 10 months and then re-tore the repaired ligament in training in November. She still insisted she would make Sochi and returned to compete in World Cup races at Lake Louise in the US last month but then suffered a further injury racing at Val d'Isere – the first World Cup race watched by Woods. On Tuesday, Vonn gave up her struggle to make Sochi and will undergo surgery. She hopes to return for the 2015 world championships.
"I am devastated to announce I will not be able to compete in Sochi," said the 29-year-old from Colorado. "I did everything I possibly could to somehow get strong enough to overcome having no ACL [anterior cruciate ligament] but the reality has sunk in that my knee is just too unstable to compete at this level."
In a statement, Vonn's management team said: "After the incident in Val d'Isere an MRI showed an MCL [medial collateral ligament] sprain which, coupled with the torn ACL, has made it impossible to stabilise her knee and be ready to safely ski again next month."
The US were the most successful nation on the slopes in Vancouver but their hopes of repeating that feat in Sochi have been badly damaged by Vonn's withdrawal. Bode Miller and Julia Mancuso, two of their other medal hopefuls, are both struggling desperately for any sort of form. The absence of Vonn will also be keenly felt by NBC; the skier was certain to be the centre-point of their coverage for which they paid $775m.
The organisers marked a month to go by announcing everything was ready and in place for Russia's first Winter Games and first post-Soviet Olympics. It was accompanied by a painful slogan "Hot. Cool. Yours." Hours later one of their key performers was gone. They will be feeling Vonn's pain.

Verizon Brings Hundreds of New Jobs to Tulsa
New jobs for Tulsa. Verizon today announced it's adding 500 positions at its' facility in the Cherokee Industrial Park. Verizon Vice-President Michelle Robinson says the company reviewed several locations across the country before choosing Tulsa for the expansion.
She says Verizon already has a long-standing relationship with Tulsa and the state of Oklahoma, and that played into the decision. The expansion will allow the company to create a financial services hub here. Chamber of Commerce officials estimate the new jobs will have a 60-million dollar economic impact for the area.

Stephen Tulloch will return as the Lions' starting middle linebacker after signing a five-year contract Tuesday. Tulloch, 27, led the team with 111 tackles last season and also recorded three sacks.
- Filed Under
Name tags won't be necessary when the Lions get together for the start of the off-season program next month, but check back in January to see if that's a good thing.
The Lions signed linebacker Stephen Tulloch to a new five-year contract Tuesday, locking up their last remaining major free agent in what has been a self-focused spring.
Rather than chase big-name additions or marginal talent upgrades, general manager Martin Mayhew spent the last week ensuring the core of last year's wild-card team would remain intact. ...

EcoGastronomy is a word coined by the University of New Hampshire itself, just like EcoGastronomy is a program available only at UNH. Break the word "EcoGastronomy" down, and it basically means environmental eating. But what is that? There are a thousand ways to interpret it, and most of them describe the EcoGastronomy dual major. Food is an integral part of our life- we kind of need it. Why do people interact with their food the way they do? That's one of the focuses of EcoG. If the food we... Read More
