Quality of Life Grants: 2nd Cycle 2010: Bridging Barriers
University of Wisconsin-Eau Clair Foundation, Inc.
Eau Claire, WI
This Quality of Life grant will help to support the Enhanced Participation through Adapted Equipment for Children Living with Paralysis project. The health and social benefits of physical activity and athletic participation for children are well established. These benefits may be even more important for children with disabilities, including those with cognitive and physical disabilities who have a greater risk of being sedentary and having associated health conditions, such as obesity and reduced cardiovascular fitness. Grant funds will help underwrite the purchase of two sports wheelchairs for the program. This grant is funded through a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Award # 1U59DD000338).

Andrew Bynum, right, greets former teammates Kobe Bryant, left, and Pau Gasol, center, before the Lakers game against the 76ers in Philadelphia. / Michael Perez AP
Who's the best big man currently playing in the NBA?
Perhaps you're thinking Dwight "Superman" Howard. But the answer, at least according to Philadelphia 76ers center Andrew Bynum, is ... Andrew Bynum.
"Personally I think they traded No. 1 for No. 2," Bynum said of the four-team deal that sent Howard from the Orlando Magic to Los Angeles and Bynum from the Lakers to the Sixers.
Of course, "currently playing" is all relative, given that Bynum hasn't logged a single minute of game time for the 76ers since the trade, while Howard has played all 25 games for the Lakers even after enduring offseason back surgery.
Bynum spoke with reporters only hours before the Lakers handed the Sixers a 111-98 loss in Philadelphia.
He also didn't hold back from critiquing his former team, even offering them some helpful advice to overcome their early-season struggles. The Lakers have dealt with injuries to guards Steve Nash and Steve Blake as well as forward Pau Gasol, but Bynum points to another problem for the Lakers: "... they're not posting the ball, so, that's tough too."
Bynum's advice: "They got to make a commitment to defense, No. 1, and No. 2, I think they're going to have to post the ball within a system that's going to do that," he said. "Obviously the talent is there to win a championship from a starter's point of view, anyway. I think they struggle a little bit off the bench, so that kind of hurts, too."
Bynum, 25, has been battling knee problems since his trade to Philadelphia, but he said he's feeling better and the pain is down in both knees.
"The update really is I'm feeling much better, I would say, than the initial state of injury," Bynum said. "When I see the doctor, hopefully I will be cleared for impact."
Bynum has an MRI scheduled for Thursday in New York City to examine both of his knees. He said his right knee has improved considerably, but he is still feeling discomfort in his left one. Bynum has been able to participate in shooting drills but he still has not been cleared to run.
Bynum said the only former teammate he keeps in touch with is Gasol; he also hadn't spoken to Howard since the trade. But he did offer some praise and analysis for Howard.
"I think Dwight is a great player, but he's going to have to get accustomed to playing with Kobe (Bryant) and not touching the ball every single play," Bynum said.
The 76ers and the Lakers play again New Year's Day in Los Angeles, but it is unlikely that Bynum will be cleared to play.
"You want to play against your old team always," Bynum said. "It's just a shame. I don't know when I'll be back. I guess I'm just excited to play any game at this point."

In addition to reviewing print and online media, Media Matters monitors at least 150 hours of television and radio each week. This section features highlights (or low-lights) from our monitoring efforts, other noteworthy clips as well as original videos.
Fox News host Bill O'Reilly has repeatedly called for an FBI investigation into allegations against Hillary and Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation of influence peddling from the error-ridden smear book Clinton Cash.
Iowa radio host Steve Deace claimed there was no evidence proving African-Americans are treated differently by police in Iowa, despite overwhelming data showing that racial disparities in Iowa arrest rates are among the worst in the nation.
The Washington Times relied on statements from fossil fuel allies and a coal industry poll to allege that blacks and Hispanics "increasingly are turning against" President Obama's climate change agenda, supposedly out of concern for the poor. But non-industry-funded polls show that blacks and Hispanics strongly support the U.S. government taking action on climate change, and many black and Hispanic organizations have endorsed the EPA's plan to reduce carbon pollution from power plants because of the financial and health benefits it will provide for their communities.
Media are hyping claims that Carly Fiorina's 2016 bid for the GOP presidential nomination renders the Republican "war on women" neutral -- because both parties now have women running for office -- dismissing how Fiorina's policy positions would harm women.

Maria H.St.LouisHairMedium BrownFine or Thin HairRecommendedI was really on the lookout for a new heat protecter I came across this one on sale and i figured id try it out. Glad I did! I use it almost every day i love how it makes you so shiny smooth ad its protecting against heat! totally recommendedd!!!posted Oct 19, 2010Link to this post
AnnieHairMedium BrownOily HairDry HairThick or Coarse HairGood But Not Good Enough.This was my first heat protectant ever, so I'm kind of obligated to love it...
It did do a good job protecting and smoothing my hair but it also left a lot of residue, because I used way way way too much.
This smells amazing, and it works, just make sure you keep it away from your roots and don't use too much.posted Sep 25, 2010Link to this post -
AshleyCan't Live Without It!!I love the Got2b smooth operator lotion. I saw this in my GL magazine and I just had to try it out. Since it was on sale, I bought 2 bottles, and I'm glad I did. It makes my hair feel so soft and it has a WONDERFUL SCENT. It's not like any other hair products. I love it so much, I go through that stuff like water (not really, but you get what I mean). I'm glad I found this product; it makes my hair look AH-MAZING :))posted Aug 13, 2010Link to this post
Stephanie L.CaliforniaHairBlondeDry HairThick or Coarse HairGreat For Dry Hair And Smells Wonderfully! : )I got this product through BzzAgent and I have to say that I really love it! My hair tends to be dry (especially during the summer months) and a bit hard to manage, and this lotion really smooths it out and makes it soft and shiny. My fly-aways are not as bad, either, since I started using this, and I've noticed my hair looks a lot nicer (less messed up and dry) by the end of the day when I put it on in the morning. The smell is also amazing. It's a very relaxing smell that isn't too strong. The packaging is also very cute. I love the adorable, little charm that it comes with. Very nice touch. All in all, great for normal to dry hair and smells wonderful. Highly recommended!posted Jul 25, 2010Link to this post
Kel B.Long Island, New YorkHairMedium BrownColor Treated HairWorks GreatI really like this product. It smells great. It reminds of chi straight guard cream. Its a cheaper alternative and it helps my hair looking great.posted Jul 18, 2010Link to this post
MonicaAn Average Product That Smeels And Feels GreatI have tried this product a few times, alternating between blowouts and a wavy/curly look. The lustre leaves my hair smelling great and feeling soft, but I'm not so impressed with the performance. For the wavy/curly look, it works best, just apply it damp. For blowouts, it keeps the hair straight, but very poofy/frizzy. Maybe I'd buy it if it were on special and really needed some hair products.posted Jun 23, 2010Link to this post
MeaganMissouriSmooth And Smells GreatI am a bzz agent, and was given samples of this product. I figured it'd make my hair greasy, and I already have greasy roots. It felt a bit odd in my hands, but smelled great. I put it on my hair after a shower, and by the time it was dry I could definitely tell a difference. It was smooth and soft and I couldn't stop running my fingers through it.posted Jun 20, 2010Link to this post
NadiaLove This Product!Simple to use, smells great, no sticky residue or flakies, leaves my hair shiny and soft. I like to straighten my natually wavy/frizzy hair, and this sure makes things easier. My hair stays straight for longer and looks better. Love the protection for heat styling as well! I was able to try this product via a smaple I recieved as a Bzz agent, and I am planning on buying the full size. You can't beat the price! And it works as well or better than similair salon products with a much higher pricetag.posted Jun 18, 2010Link to this post
MelanieGreat ProductMy hair is wavy and thick. For the past year I've been trying to find a product that helps me straighten my hair and leave it feeling soft. This is by far the best product I've tried.posted Jun 11, 2010Link to this post
JenPleasantly SurprisedMy hair is high maintenance and moody. I have tried just about every drug store product and none of them did what they claimed to do. Then I received a sample of this sweet smelling stuff. Much to my surprise, I love this. It made my hair smooth (like it claims to do!) without leaving it crunchy or hard. My hair smells like candy, is soft to the touch and looks shiny and new. For that price, I will definitely be purchasing this in full size.posted Jun 4, 2010Link to this post

Loans may be a very good financial decision when it comes to investing in your future. While loans must be repaid, student loans have very low interest rates and some payments are deferred until you are finished with school.
Federal Direct Student Loans
Subsidized Loans
Subsidized Loans are fixed at a 3.4 percent interest rate and are for students who demonstrate financial need. The federal government pays the interest while you are in school and for the six month grace period after graduation. There is a 1.5 percent origination fee.
Unsubsidized Loans
Unsubsidized Loans are fixed at a 6.8 percent interest rate and are for all eligible students, regardless of income or assets. Students are responsible for paying all interest that accrues, even while in school. Students may choose to postpone paying the interest until graduation. There is a 1.5 percent origination fee.
Borrowing Limits per School Year
Students | Subsidized | Unsubsidized | Total |
Dependent Sophomore | $4,500 | $2,000 | $6,500 |
Dependent Junior/Senior | $5,500 | $2,000 | $7,500 |
Independent Sophomore | $4,500 | $6,000 | $10,500 |
Independent Junior/Senior | $5,500 | $7,000 | $12,500 |
Federal Perkins Loans
Federal Perkins Loans are fixed at a 5 percent interest rate and are for students with exceptional financial need. The federal government pays the interest while you are in school and during the nine month grace period after graduation. Depending on when you apply for school, financial need and available funds, you may borrow up to $4,000 a year.
Federal PLUS Loans (dependents only)
Federal PLUS Loans help parents pay for a dependent's college. A parent must complete the Federal Direct PLUS Loan application and master promissory note at www.studentloans.gov. This loan is credit-based and has a fixed interest rate of 7.9 percent. If denied, the student is eligible for more Unsubsidized Loans. (See independent limits above).
A Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be completed for the student, using the student's and parent's information, before a Direct Parent PLUS loan can be processed.
To be eligible, a parent must:
- Be a biological or adoptive parent, or a step-parent whose information was required on the FAFSA.
- Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen, and provide a valid Social Security Number.
- Be credit-worthy.
To be eligible, a student must:
- Be dependent for purposes of financial aid.
- Be enrolled at least half-time.
Information Meetings
Degree completion information meetings
are held on the first Thursday of every month at 5:30 p.m.

Oregon State's Kavin Keyes scores at home plate as the ball gets away from Indiana catcher Kyle Schwarber in the fourth inning of an NCAA College World Series elimination game
Eric Francis, Associated Press - Ap
Oregon St. knocks Indiana out of CWS with 1-0 win
- Article by: ERIC OLSON
- June 20, 2013 - 1:16 AM
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- Matt Boyd pitched a four-hitter and struck out 11 and Oregon State made a fourth-inning sacrifice fly stand for a 1-0 victory over Indiana in the College World Series on Wednesday night.
The Beavers (52-12) won the first 1-0 game at the CWS since 1985. They now face Mississippi State on Friday needing to beat the Bulldogs twice to reach next week's finals.
The Hoosiers (49-16) went 1-2 in their first CWS appearance and were shut out for the first time this season. Indiana's Aaron Slegers allowed seven hits in his first career complete game.
Boyd, who pitched his fourth complete game and third shutout this season, flummoxed the Hoosiers with his mix of fastballs and off-speed pitches. He faced the minimum through four innings. The senior left-hander held the Hoosiers hitless until Michael Basil looped a ball into short right field in the fifth. Basil moved to second on Dustin DeMuth's bunt single, but no Hoosiers runner advanced farther.
The Beavers scored in the fourth when Kavin Keyes singled, went to third on Ryan Barnes' double and came home on Jake Rodriguez's sacrifice fly to right.
Boyd earned his first win in five starts since May 10 against Stanford. He had a loss and three no-decisions in between.
The Beavers played error-free defense behind Boyd, picked off runners in the first and third innings and turned a double play in the sixth.
Boyd, who was drafted in the sixth round by Toronto, took the loss in that game, allowing a run on two hits in an inning of relief of Andrew Moore.
Big Ten champion Indiana was the first team from the conference to make it to the CWS since Michigan in 1984. The Hoosiers were the first from the Big Ten to win a game here since the Wolverines beat Stanford in 1983.
But they struggled offensively, particularly against left-handed pitching, after batting .309, averaging 9.4 runs and hitting six home runs in their first five tournament games. The Hoosiers batted .211 and scored a total of six runs in three CWS games.

An Illinois man accused of attacking his female roommate for eating three cookies has been charged with attempted murder.
The brouhaha began last Wednesday after the woman ate three Chips Ahoy cookies for breakfast, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
The discovery sent Allen M. Hall, 23, into a frenzy.
He threatened to kill the 49-year-old woman, who told police she initially thought he was joking.
Then, according to police, Hall attacked.
"Allen grabbed her around the throat with both of his hands and threw her down into the tub," the woman told police, according to an affidavit. "She hit the back of her head on the tub and this caused a knot on her head."
Hall then got on top of her "and strangled her to the point she could not speak and was having difficulty breathing."
The woman's husband and landlady arrived and had to pull Hall off her.
He was arrested and jailed on charges of attempted murder and aggravated domestic battery.

This scene was originally planned for the bedroom but when Alexa Jaymes arrived she kept talking about how nice it was outside and begging to go out by the pool. We told her it would take time to get all the gear moved and the the lights and all so it wasn't worth it, but then she said 'Get your gear and go outside, if you do I'll make sure this is the best performance of my whole porn career!' When a brunette as pretty as Alexa Jaymes makes a promise like that, you get your stuff and hustle! She held up her end of the bargain and every facial fan who gets to see this is in for a very big treat!

Costcos support for the minimum wage increase the president has put forward harkens back to Henry Ford.
Instead of minimizing wages, we know its a lot more profitable in the long term to minimize employee turnover and maximize employee productivity, commitment and loyalty, Costco CEO Craig Jelinek said. We support efforts to increase the federal minimum wage.
Henry Ford doubled the wages of his workers for exactly the same reason. He sold more cars!
Giving back to the middle class and lower classes is one sure-fire way to get this country back on its feet.
In the last 30 years the top 1 percent has gone from 9 percent of the total income of the country to 24 percent of the total. That is almost triple. The bottom 50 percent of Americans own about 0.5 percent of the stock market while the top 1 percent own 50 percent of the stock market money earned without real work and taxed at an even lower rate than the person breaking their back to feed their family.
If you can barely afford to live, you cant afford to invest in the stock market, period.
People have to wake up to the reality of daily living. It is time we balanced the books a little. The minimum wage increase is a small step in that direction. Supporting companies like Costco is another.

Customer Reviews for Kids Room Yellow / Cream Top Down/Bottom Up Single Cell
"Exactly what I wanted"
By Arnie from Mt. Airy, MD
The price was less than anywhere else online. I only glanced at the box store pricing, but it seemed higher as well. I got the cordless top down bottom up because of the cats, and I didn't have high expectations for the "feel" of the operation of the blinds. I was very surprised that it feels tight and smooth and high quality. You can adjust them with two fingers and they stay where you put them. It's hard to describe, but it just feels "right." I recommend.

Plan on ordering many more. We installed top down bottom up double cell blinds.... Wish I would have found this site prior to ordering from a local store!

Cheap ski holidays in hundreds of ski resorts worldwide.
25 miles from the Austrian border in the heart of the Dolomites is the picturesque and unspoilt village of Arabba. Situated between the more well known ski resorts of Corvara and Canazei, its scenery will take your breath away. It has an idyllic setting - much enhanced by the striking dominance of the Sella Massif and Portavescovo Mountains, towering on either side of the village. At sunrise this startling backdrop glows pink whilst at dusk it turns flame red.
On your ski holidays in Arabba, you will find 52 kilometres of slopes, 27 modern lift systems and an excellent link with the other areas of Dolomiti Superski and the Sella Ronda. One of the most notable aspects of this area is the skiing area around "Porta Vescovo" the home mountain of Arabba, that is almost 2,500 metres high.
We took a late deal because the snow was so good. We were not disappointed. The chalet had everything we need... read full
Marmolada is a famous ski-resort at the feet of the Marmolada glacier, that with his 3.342 metre is considered the "Queen of the Dolomites", the highest mountain in the Dolomites. It represents one of the strategic connection points of the Dolomiti Superski carousel and it could be departure point for the famous and legendary day trip "Sella Ronda" or the new day trip on the 3.342 metre high Marmolada.
The Dolomiti Superski Area covers 1220km of pisted skiing, including the famous Sella Ronda circuit, which links four valleys and also boasts some of the worlds most spectacular scenery and skiing in Italy. Lovingly prepared pistes along with masses of artificial snow when needed make ski holidays in Arabba/Marmolada a truly wonderful experience.
Ski holidays in Arabba offer a relaxed atmosphere for non-skiers, with only a few things to enjoy. Great for those who want to just chill out. Activities for ski holidays in Arabba include: Outdoor ice skating, snowmobiling, ski tours and helicopter rides.

Thank you again Iglu for being so user friendly and more importantly thank you to Laura for being such an asset to your company and the sales profession."

Howdy, folks, I'm new here but I'm in a bit of a pickle and I'm wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I'm a cardmodeler and I'm wanting to build a card model of a Los Angeles-class sub, but the only available model is an early version and I want to modify it to a Flight III. I'm having difficulty, though, finding any good sources online of three-views, diagrams, drawings or anything else that would give me a good idea of what the main external visual differences are between the version the model represents and the Flight III that I want to turn it into.
Any guidance?

So what do the Steelers do with their issues at the QB spot? Why, they sign WR Plaxico, of course. Wonder what JetsAndHeels thinks of that.
So what do the Steelers do with their issues at the QB spot? Why, they sign WR Plaxico, of course. Wonder what JetsAndHeels thinks of that.
"That's what Sheev said."
A big, big win in Baltimore today keeps Pittsburgh in the playoff hunt (even the division race, too). If Roethlisberger can come back HEALTHY soon, they have a chance to do some damage as a lower-seeded team (remember that 2005 season?). But California's AFC teams did not help the Steelers, with the Browns and Bengals winning road games.
"That's what Sheev said."
Just curious what everyone else thinks about the Falcons. I know our schedule has been pretty weak, but i love how the seem to find ways to win almost every game. I'm not convinced we are real contenders yet, but nobody looks dominant this year. If we can get to the playoffs healthy with home field, I think they have as good a shot as anyone.
"Roger Nasty Butler!"
I hope tonights game holds up. Denver will get a first round by if SF wins...
Nowhere in your incoherent ramblings did you come anywhere close to the answer. Thanks to you, everyone in this room is now stupider having heard you. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. -Billy Madison-
Last night's loss vs. Seattle, by craptacular fashion (50-17 L) cemented the Bills 8th consecutive losing season and 13th consecutive season of not making the playoffs.
Now that they are officially out, true to form, they will string together a few meaningless wins to further hurt their draft position. In all of those losing seasons, rarely have they had a Top 5 pick because of outstanding mediocrity. They can't even lose right.
As long as the Patriettes lose, I don't care who wins it all this year.
"The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see, the future is. But this I am sure of - do their duty the Jedi will." --Yoda from Attack of the Clones.
Or a spectacular failure?
Hey LBC, at least you guys don't have a 20-year losing streak and playoff-less streak like the Pittsburgh Pirates, longest in North American pro sports history.
"That's what Sheev said."
This weekend, if TE Tony Gonzalez, who's worn #88 for his career, catches his first pass for 8 yards and doesn't score, he'll have 88 receptions for 888 yards and 8 TDs this season. Oh, and the Steelers need to beat the Bengals this week to have any chance of The Playoffs.
"That's what Sheev said."
And Gonzalez messes it up by only catching a NINE yard pass.
But with the Steelers; aaaand end scene. On the post-season, that is. Just win next week to end at .500.
"That's what Sheev said."

Works of art may be donated to the High during your lifetime or by bequest. Donating artwork, a form of tangible personal property, requires special attention at the High Museum of Art. Although a work may be artistically significant, it may not be appropriate for the Museum's collection. If you are considering donating a work of art to the High, you should first contact the curator of the appropriate department:
A work of art held by a collector for more than twelve months is generally considered to be capital gain property. If accepted for accession into the Museum's permanent collection, a gift of artwork is related to the Museum's exempt purpose and you will be entitled to claim an income tax charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the property, which is determined by a qualified appraisal. The contribution is deductible up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income, with any excess contribution deductible over the five following years—up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income in each carryover year—until exhausted. If, however, you created the artwork, received it as a gift from the creator, are a dealer holding the artwork as inventory, or have held the artwork for 12 months or less (short term), it is considered ordinary income property. Your charitable deduction would then be for your cost basis only but the ceiling for deductibility is 50 percent of your adjusted gross income with a five-year/50 percent carryover for any excess. If the Museum accepts your gift of artwork, you can donate your entire interest in a work of art that you own outright. Or you can donate a portion of the work of art to the Museum, while retaining a fractional use for part of the year. To make a partial gift, your initial gift to the High Museum must be an undivided interest in the work of at least 10% and you must complete the transfer of the entire interest to the Museum within ten years of the initial gift or your date of death, whichever occurs first. Possession of the work is then shared proportionally on an annual basis by you and the Museum according to the fractional interest transferred to the High. If the High Museum does not take possession of the property and use it for its tax-exempt purpose at least once before the end of the 10-year period (or date of death) penalties will attach. You can claim an income tax charitable deduction for the initial fractional interest of your gift as determined by a qualified appraisal, and; deductions for subsequent fractional interests will be valued at the lower of the initial appraised value of the artwork or the appraised value at the date of the subsequent gift. For more information about making a gift of artwork to the High Museum of Art, please contact Chief Curator David Brenneman at 404-733-4446 or e-mail him. Your inquiry is confidential and places you under no obligation. We look forward to hearing from you!

Braves send Minor vs. Lee in Philly opener
With eye on postseason, Atlanta hopes to win duel of southpaws
After topping the Mets in a three-game series earlier this week, the first-place Braves will hit the road on Friday to take on another National League East foe with similar status in the division.
With the Mets taking the series finale in Atlanta during the day on Wednesday and the Phillies losing to the Nationals that night, New York snuck a game in front of Philadelphia for third place in the standings. The Phillies have dropped four of five.
Both teams remain more than 20 games behind the first-place Braves, whose magic number to win the division (10) is the lowest in baseball.
Left-hander Cliff Lee will take the mound for the Phils in the opener looking to extend a recent hot stretch. After a rough patch in July and August, he has a 2.91 ERA in his past five games, though he did give up nine hits and three runs in five innings against the Cubs on Saturday at Wrigley Field.
"I feel like I had to battle," Lee said. "It seemed like they had a lot of long at-bats and grinded me out and saw a bunch of pitches and battled. … I feel like [my stuff] was OK. I feel like I wasn't commanding the ball as well as I would like, and they just had some tough at-bats."
Lee will square off against southpaw Mike Minor, who has had trouble with the long ball at times this year. Minor gave up a pair of opposite-field homers -- just his second and third allowed since the All-Star break -- and took a no-decision in his seven-inning start against the Marlins on Saturday.
Atlanta has won eight of its past 10. The Braves are 29-10 over their past 39 contests.
Braves: Quality control
Atlanta's starting pitchers have turned in a quality start in 19 of the club's past 28 games. The Braves lead the NL with 86 quality starts this year.
• Rookie Evan Gattis is 4-for-7 since being recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday. He went 3-for-3 on Tuesday night, including a game-tying solo homer in the seventh inning, then doubled in four at-bats as the cleanup hitter on Wednesday.
Gattis was sent to Gwinnett on Saturday and played in three games. He went 6-for-13, with three doubles and a home run.
Phillies: Brown out 'for a while'
Left fielder Domonic Brown hasn't played since Sunday and hasn't started a game since last Friday, and his return isn't imminent. He said on Wednesday that he won't be doing any baseball activities for "at least a week" after an MRI revealed tendinitis in his right Achilles.
Brown hopes that the time off will improve the inflammation in the area, and he does expects to play again before the end of the season.
• Philadelphia is in the middle of a streak of 20 games in 20 days, its longest stretch of the 2013 season without a day off.
Worth noting
• Atlanta outfielder Reed Johnson continues to rest his bothersome left Achilles, hoping to be fully ready for the playoffs.
"We've kind of picked out an area in September where I've got enough time to start the rehab again, start the running, get at-bats and get myself ready for the playoffs," Johnson said. "I feel like that's the most important thing."
• The Braves hit the road after a 7-2 homestand that featured a three-game sweep of the Indians, then 2-1 series victories over the Marlins and Mets.

Broadband project promises jobs, economic development and better connectivity
Sam Williams
Lassen and Plumas county residents as well as large users and governmental agencies could enjoy improved Internet and cable television service
"A major goal of the project is to create jobs and boost the economy by allowing existing businesses to expand while attracting new businesses to the region … We believe that access to affordable broadband is a crucial component to arresting the loss of jobs and population in the region."
Bob Marshall, General Manager, Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative
once the Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative installs a new fiber optic cable system. And hopefully, the new system should also contribute to the local economy by providing more jobs.
Plumas-Sierra's General Manager Bob Marshall appeared at the Lassen County Board of Supervisors Tuesday, March 22 meeting to provide information on the project to the supervisors.
"We are a true electric co-op," Marshall told the board, "which means we don't just supply power, we're dedicated to the quality of life of our member owners, and part of that is economic development."
A lack of broadband services leaves Northeastern California behind, Marshall said, and given that deficiency, the cooperative sought partners to seek the grant to install the much-needed fiber optic system. Marshall noted the importance of high-speed broadband connections as he described his attendance at a recent conference.
"What stunned me was every single device and product uses broadband," Marshall said, "including Schlage and Yale locks. They're now Internet-enabled, and you can open and close your locks via the Internet. Every device you have in your house now, literally getting down to the refrigerator, is Internet-enabled and everything assumes every house has 10 megabits per second of cheap broadband, which may be true in Sacramento and Roseville, but isn't exactly true in our region."
Marshall said the cooperative's telecommunications subsidiary has been providing services since 1987 and has been frustrated by its inability to obtain the underlying broadband capacity from other providers, especially for customers in Plumas County.
According to Marshall's presentation, the cooperative and 18 other key telecommunications users banded together in 2009 to seek an American Reinvestment and Recovery Grant administered by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, an agency inside the Federal Commerce Department.
What is broadband fiber optic service?
The term broadband refers to a communications network in which the bandwidth can be divided and shared by multiple simultaneous signals such as voice, data or video.
The term fiber optic cable means a bundle of thin, flexible, transparent glass fibers that act as a waveguide, or light pipe to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber.
Fiber optic broadband service makes it possible to access the Internet at unbelievable speeds, and at the same time provide broadband television programming.
Fiber optic systems not only improve productivity and communications capabilities, they provide a new option for entertainment, as well. A fiber optic system offers new and better services, more productivity on the Internet and expanded entertainment choices.
Unlike current high-speed broadband services that transmit data over copper or coaxial cable, fiber optic networks operate over glass fiber transmission lines designed for optimum speed and capacity. And the amazing thing is all of this happens because laser generated pulses of light send data along hair-thin strands of glass fiber at the speed of light.
What makes fiber optic technology better?
Speed — Faster transmission with the capability of going up into the gigabits.
Bandwidth — A larger capacity for carrying information.
Distance — Signals transmit farther without a need for refreshing.
Less interference — A fiber optic system has greater resistance to external interference.
Reduced maintenance — Fiber optic cables cost much less to maintain.
Versatility — Fiber optic cables can handle massive amounts of voice, video and data traffic.
This information was obtained from satelliteinsight.com/fibre-optic-broadband.html.
Key users in the local project include anchor tenants, Internet service providers, economic development entities and local government, and Marshall named some of the consortium's participants, — Lassen Community College, Susanville Indian Rancheria, Windjammer Cable TV, High Desert State Prison, Sierra Army Depot and the Lassen County Office of Education.
Marshall said the cooperative learned last August it had been awarded a $13.7 million grant to build the fiber optic system from Reno to Susanville and Quincy. The cooperative also received a matching $1.7 million grant from the California Advanced Citizen Fund for the project.
The new broadband project will run along Highway 395 from Reno to Hallelujah Junction. From there it will ride on the cooperative's transmission lines to the two state prisons and then follow the Lassen Municipal Utility District Honey Lake Power line into Susanville. Another spur would run to Herlong, serving Lassen County's Local Reuse Authority properties in the south county and SIAD.
Another spur will run west along the cooperative's lines to serve Portola, Quincy and Loyalton.
No final decision has been made about how the lines will run in the city of Susanville, Marshall said.
Marshall said the cooperative would not provide services to customers outside its service area, but Windjammer Cable and Frontier Communications could compete to offer services in Susanville and Lassen County.
While the system will provide improved connectivity and service, one of the project's ultimate goals is economic development.
"A major goal of the project is to create jobs and boost the economy by allowing existing businesses to expand while attracting new businesses to the region," Marshall wrote in his presentation to the supervisors. "Completion of the project will allow for businesses, households and key community institutions to have access to higher data usage at a lower cost. We believe that access to affordable broadband is a crucial component to arresting the loss of jobs and population in the region."
Northeastern California lags behind the rest of country because it's not connected to modern, high-speed, fiber optic communications systems, especially backhaul connections. Backhaul refers to the connection between the Internet sources and the service providers.
"The driver for the project is a lack of telecommunications backhaul facilities to provide cost-effective abundant broadband," Marshall wrote. "This communication deficiency causes a weakness in the northeastern corner of California that adversely affects progress, jobs and the local economy. In some areas covered by the grant there are no more facilities available. In other areas, there are some facilities but not enough backhaul and not enough competition to drive costs down."
Marshall said the system could be completely installed and operational by

Countryside Manor Of Bristol in Bristol, Connecticut
Nursing Homes, also called Skilled Nursing Facilities, are options for seniors that can provide continual assistance for residents that require frequent or constant medical attention. They maintain qualified staffing that is able to monitor and care for aging residents that require assistance with daily activities and may have various health issues.
Using a Nursing Home Referral Service
A few of the services offered by nursing home or elder care placement services are:
1) Help Determine if a nursing home is what you need
2) Determining the level of care needed
3) Locating the home or facility best suited to your needs
4) Helping you to negotiate the lowest possible price for you and your family
5) Helping you with financial planning so that your resources can be used wisely to cover the costs involved
6) Ensuring that the facility you choose is able to handle any special needs that you may have.
There are placement agencies that will be pleased to help you sort through the maze and make the best choice for your loved one. This is their field of expertise and they are happy to share the knowledge they've gathered with you. A few of our favorites are A Place For Mom, Elder link, and Elder Home finders. Most referral agencies (sometimes called placement agencies) provide their services free of charge to the resident and their family.
Our goal at Nursing Homes in Connecticut is to assist families who are looking for the best, affordable skilled nursing homes.

Five-Star Quality Rating
The Five-Star Quality Rating System was created by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in order to help consumers, their families, and caregivers find the best nursing homes available.
These quality ratings are taken from the result of facility health inspections, staffing inspections and quality measure inspections. The ratings are then combined to calculate an overall rating for the facility.
The quality rating can help you find the best nursing home, but it is not a substitute for visiting the nursing home, talking to the staff and asking lots of questions. Choose the nursing home that best meets your needs. Be sure to talk to your doctor or other healthcare professionals, your family, friends, or others about your nursing home choices. You can also contact the Long-Term Ombudsman or State Survey Agency before you make a decision.
Costs of Nursing Homes in Connecticut
It's a good idea to learn as much as possible about all nursing homes that are available in your area. Some may be designated as skilled nursing facilities while others may not.. Everything you read and each facility you visit will help you to get closer to determining your own need. Learning about the costs of nursing homes and how to cover those costs is also very important. With all these options, and maybe because there are so many choices, it can be overwhelming. There's nothing wrong with getting help.

His decision to divide his kingdom among his elder daughters, over the warnings of his youngest Cordelia (Valentina Shendrikova), sparks off a chain of events that engulfs the entire countryside. Lear's final days are marked by dissension, internecine conflict and terribleviolence. Humiliated and banished by his daughters, the King wanders the countryside like a beggar, accompanied by his Fool and a few faithful servants. Driven mad by despair, Lear's megalomania consumes him to the point of blindness.

Row v Wade was regrettable in part because it lowered the People's expectation of our participation in our democracy. Large portions of our population hold strongly opposed views on this issue, and our pre-RvW constitutional system was perfectly well equipped to handle that. Let the states have their varied laws reflecting the views of their varying majorities, and if it is important enough to treat uniformly across the nation, let the People amend the Constitution to say so. One might argue that it is very difficult to amend the Constitution, but this is just an example of post-RvW democratic laziness. Remember, the People have done so many times before. We even managed amendments both ways on alcohol within 15 years. If the Court hadn't fabricated a constitutional right to abortions 40 years ago, it might actually be in the Document in some form by now.
This is unfortunate for many reasons, not least the damage it does to the idea that we are governed by laws, not men. From a very practical perspective, it causes abortion to continue to suck up our scarce political resources. Every election cycle, many millions of Americans have to consider, among the myriad other reasons to vote for or against candidates, who each candidate might appoint or vote to confirm to the Court because, as RvW enforces, the law on abortion or anything else is only really whatever the Justices say it is. Let the People write down the answer to this question and we will be relieved of much of this ongoing angst. By instead inventing an answer subject to change, the Court gave us a cheap short-term fix that is costing us much more in the long run.
