Taxpayer support of base grocery stores this fiscal year would fall by $130 million, or 9.4 percent, if Congress fails to reach a debt-reduction deal by Jan. 2, its deadline to avoid arbitrary budget cuts mandated by the sequestration mechanism in last year's Budget Control Act.
The Office of Management and Budget delivered that news to Capitol Hill in a larger report that Congress required to make the impact of the sequestration threat more transparent to voters.
A budget cut of that size, which commissaries would be forced to absorb over the last six to nine months of fiscal 2013, thus intensifying its effect, "would be devastating," says Tom Gordy, president of Armed Forces Marketing Council. The council represents manufacturers of products sold in military stores.
Commissary shoppers, Gordy said, likely would see store hours and staff services cut by next spring, and might even see some stores closed in areas where two or more bases are co-located. Commissary budgets are used almost entirely for wages and benefits of its 18,000 employees.
About two thirds of employees, Gordy notes, are affiliated with the military, either family of active duty members or military retirees, retiree spouses or military veterans. Many employees would see work hours and, therefore, incomes cut by the sequestration knife.
Exchanges or base department stores would not be impacted because they are self-sustaining, with staff salaries and other operating costs paid for through store-generated profits.
Commissaries, however, rely on annual taxpayer subsidy of $1.4 billion. In return, military patrons see savings of about 30 percent on their groceries, a popular benefit worth about $2.8 billion annually. Goods are sold at cost plus a five percent surcharge. The surcharge money is used to modernize old stores and build new ones.
The commissary appropriation, like funding for most other defense and non-defense discretionary spending, would be hit by the sequestration process that both Republicans and Democrats agreed to accept as an intolerable result if they could not muster the political courage themselves to reach a fresh $1.2 trillion, 10-year debt reduction agreement.
Some key lawmakers, worried that this pitiable Congress still lacks leadership and character to negotiate a debt deal after the election, one with real compromises and meaningful tradeoffs, is said to be drafting stop-gap legislation to delay sequestration's impact for at least several months.
The White House is signaling that President Obama won't accept anything short of a "balanced" debt deal to avoid sequestration, a deal that would include higher taxes on the wealthy, which is something most Republicans have pledged not to consider.
The Defense Commissary Agency, which oversees military grocery operations worldwide from its headquarters on
Gordy said DeCA probably could absorb a 5 percent cut without shoppers being impacted. That could be handled, for example, by layoffs of some headquarter employees or by enticing older careerists to retiree early.
"There would be pain but it's manageable," Gordy said. Above 5 percent, however, and staff furloughs have to be large enough to impact store hours and even force some stores closures.
2013 COLA SET — Military and federal civilian retirees, survivor benefit annuitants, disabled veterans and Social Security recipients will see a 1.7 percent cost-of-living adjustment in January.

Havelock's MVP, all-everything football player Pharoh Cooper returned to the basketball court on Tuesday night.
Good timing.
Cooper's putback at the buzzer lifted Havelock to a 68-67 victory over D.H. Conley in a Coastal 3A Conference game at Havelock High.
"It was in the nick of time," Cooper said of his game-winner. "I was Johnny on the spot, I guess."
After Matt Prichard tied the game at 66 for the Rams with a 3-pointer with 49 seconds left, D.H. Conley's Jordan Williams hit a free throw at the other end with 29 seconds left, putting the Vikings in front 67-66.
Havelock's David Carter put up a jumper with about six seconds left that missed the mark, but Prichard got the offensive rebound on the baseline and threw up an off-balance shot that was falling short until Cooper, in one move, grabbed the ball out of mid air and banked in the putback at the buzzer for the victory.
"That's just the way I drew it up," Havelock coach Bill Fryczynski joked.
The contest was tight throughout, with Havelock's biggest lead at six points and D.H. Conley's at four. In the fourth quarter alone, there were five ties and three lead changes.
Prichard led the Rams with 17 points, while Zack Bruns had 14 and Cooper, playing his first basketball game since earning MVP honors in the state football championship game Dec. 1, contributed 9.
The victory gives the Rams (4-2) a 2-0 start in the league.
"This was a big game," Fryczynski said. "We're two teams that are considered to be in the top half of the conference. Winning this one is big because we're 2-0."
Havelock struggled most of the night with D.H. Conley's interior game, with Josh Cox leading the Vikings (7-2, 0-2) with 32 points. That made getting two offensive rebounds in the final possession even bigger for the Rams.
"We've got to do a better job on the boards," Fryczynski said. "The last two games we had done a really good job on the boards. Conley is historically a good rebounding team, and Cox is an outstanding player. We got Pharoh back in the nick of time."
Michael Bowman, who had 10 points in the first half, was injured and did not play in the second half.
D.H. Conley girls 47
Havelock 43
The Vikings scored five straight points — all from the free-throw line — midway through the fourth quarter and held off the Rams 47-43.
Kierra Fleming's basket drew the Rams within 36-35 with 5:51 left, but Havelock didn't score again until Fleming's bucket with 2:01 remaining.
By then, the Vikings (6-3, 1-1) had managed to build a six-point lead and held on the rest of the way.
Havelock led 19-17 at halftime, but Conley's LaVicia Wilson hit a 3-pointer with 5:13 left in the third quarter, breaking a 23-23 tie and giving the Vikings the lead for good.
Fleming had 12 points to lead the Rams, while Natalie Johnson had 11 and Shakina Dyer 8.
Havelock is next scheduled to play Eastern Wayne today at Eastern Wayne, with the junior varsity girls contest beginning at 4 p.m., and the junior varsity boys, varsity girls and varsity boys games to follow.

BUAV highlights rabbits' plight on World Day for Animals in Laboratories
The BUAV is this year commemorating World Day for Animals in Laboratories (April 24th) by highlighting the plight of rabbits in UK research. World Day for Animals in Laboratories is an international event that commemorates the millions of animals who suffer and die in laboratories around the world.
This year, the day falls on Easter Sunday - a time associated with cute images of white fluffy Easter bunnies. Sadly, few people are aware of the reality of life for thousands of rabbits cruelly used in research.
In 2009, over 11,643 rabbits were used in over 16,000 experiments in UK laboratories*. Almost 1,000 of these individuals underwent toxicity (poisoning) tests where many would have been forced to consume various doses of agricultural and industrial chemicals and food additives. Thousands of other rabbits were used in the archaic and controversial pyrogenicity test.
A recent BUAV investigation at a UK contract testing facility, Wickham Laboratories, graphically exposed the suffering inflicted on these sensitive animals during these cruel tests - rabbits can be starved of food for up to 30 hours and then restrained by their necks in 'stocks' for at least six hours and injected with the test substance into an ear vein. Their temperature is recorded using a thermometer inserted as much as 7.5cm into their rectum.
Examples of other experiments published by researchers at UK laboratories in the past two years include:
1. An experiment to investigate the eye blink response in rabbits.
Electrodes were implanted into eye muscles of rabbits whilst under anaesthetic. This required considerable cutting up of eye tissues. Each rabbit was placed into a restraining box in a sound reducing chamber. Bursts of noise were then delivered through a loud speaker. What happened to these rabbits at the end of the experiment is unknown.
2. An experiment to investigate whether the ankle joint in rabbits is damaged by the lengthening of the tibia.
A group of young rabbits had their hind leg bone (tibia) broken and stretched by 30% over a period of time to see if this affected the ankle joint. They were anaesthetised and a portion of their left the tibia was cut away, creating a fracture. The rabbits also had an apparatus attached to their leg so that the leg could be stretched slowly over a period of weeks after recovery of anaesthesia. The rabbits were all killed.
3. An experiment on rabbits to investigate female sexual arousal disorder in humans.
Under anaesthesia, female rabbits were subjected to substantial mutilation including slicing open their windpipes, opening up their abdomens, cutting away tissue in their genital areas and inserting tubes into blood vessels. An experimental drug was then given to see what the response was. There was no mention of what happened to the rabbits after this gruesome mutilation.
BUAV's Chief Executive, Michelle Thew says: "Rabbits are naturally social and inquisitive animals yet thousands are subjected to pain and suffering in UK laboratories every year. As World Day for Animals in Laboratories approaches we ask that people stop and consider the plight of the many millions of other animals who suffer and die in research around the world. Please support the BUAV to end this cruelty."

(Continuation from Sous Vide Basics: Part One)
Flavorseal Sous Vide Cooking Equipment Guide
The sous vide process isn't complicated – just vacuum seal and cook. But when it comes to sous vide supplies, there are several options in the market today, so it's important to understand their differences and determine what will work best for your situation.
1. The Vacuum Sealer (and the bags)
What chefs really need for vacuum sealing is a chamber vacuum sealer. Chamber vacuum sealers are designed for commercial use, which means they will pull a 99.9% vacuum and won't break down easily. The chambers can be thoroughly cleaned, reducing the risk of cross contamination and harmful bacteria lurking in the corners. In addition, chamber vacuum sealers use commercial-grade vacuum pouches, which are safe for food contact during cooking and come in many different sizes so you can choose one that correctly fits the products you are cooking.
Home vacuum sealers are not recommended for sous vide. Retail vacuum sealers will only work with channel pouches, most of which are designed for storage, not for cooking. The bag structure may break down, leading to harmful chemicals leaching into the food and bags breaking during cooking. Channel pouches may also allow liquids to be drawn back into the vacuum machine during sealing, and most consumer vacuum sealers are not designed to be cleaned as thoroughly as commercial cooking equipment.
2. The Sous Vide Cooker
There are two choices when it comes to sous vide cooking equipment: an immersion circulator inserted into a small tub of water (usually a Lexan tub), or an all-in-one circulating water bath. Both have digital controls to maintain temperatures within .01° F and circulate water effectively. However, the insulated circulating water baths are more energy efficient since they use less energy to maintain temperatures than the uninsulated Lexan tubs. Some circulating water baths on the market are also NSF certified and available in several sizes.
That covers the basics of the equipment needed to do sous vide in a commercial kitchen. In the third installment to this series on Sous Vide Basics, we will discuss HACCP, the health code, and what you need to consider when doing sous vide in your kitchen.

Cat Bug Bites
Cat Bug Bites (Feline Bug Bites)
Signs and Symptoms
Whether we are indoors or outdoors, we always share our environment with a variety of insects, from fleas and flies to spiders and bees, and even Cat Chiggers. This is also true for our feline companions. Just like us humans, cats can be troubled by pesky, irritating bug bites. Some insects are more troublesome than others, and some cats experience severe reactions while others only display very mild symptoms. Cats that like to play outside and chase bugs and other critters are especially susceptible to receiving bug bites. Even less active cats are extremely likely to suffer from some form of insect bite during the course of their lives. Fleas are the most common type of insect to bother cats and other pets, but a variety of other bugs can also bite or sting felines, including mosquitoes, bees, and spiders.
In most cases, you will not actually witness your cat being bitten, and will only have the aftereffects to go by to figure out what is troubling your cat. When bitten or stung, your cat is likely to display at least some sign or symptom, but the type of symptoms exhibited and their severity will depend upon the type of insect responsible as well as the characteristics of your individual pet. Even in circumstances where the reaction is quite mild, your cat will likely be more than happy to receive some relief from irritation caused by its bug bite. For this reason, it's helpful to recognize some of the more common symptoms of cat bug bites so that you can quickly identify the problem and provide appropriate treatment and relief.
Fleas are tiny, wingless insects that live on cats as external parasites. These insects affect felines very frequently, biting a cat's skin and feeding upon the animal's blood. When fleas do bite a cat, their saliva causes varying degrees of irritation. For a regular cat that does not have a hypersensitivity to fleas, signs of flea bites include scratching and biting at the head, neck, and belly. In addition, black grit referred to as flea dirt may also be visible in your cat's fur. Sometimes, the fleas themselves may be visible moving around on your pet's skin. In the case of a hypersensitive cat that is allergic to flea bites, symptoms are much more pronounced. The biting and scratching become excessive, almost compulsive, and can lead to hair loss and bald spots. Some hypersensitive cats will also develop skin disease and lip ulcers.
While less common than flea bites, mosquito bites can also be uncomfortable for your pet and can cause Cat Mosquito Bite Hypersensitivity. While flea bites can occur in small or large numbers, mosquito bites tend to occur just one at a time. The site of the bite will likely become red, itchy, and slightly swollen. In the case of bee or wasp stings, swelling is very common and the sting site may become warm to the touch. These insect stings can also be quite painful for your pet. Often, the stinger will be left behind at the site of the sting and will be visible. More severe reactions to bee stings can be very dangerous and require immediate veterinary attention. Warning signs of a more serious reaction include rapid swelling, redness around the eyes and lips, respiratory distress, vomiting, and staggering. If your cat displays these symptoms, take him or her to a veterinarian right away.
Spider bites are relatively uncommon among cats, but they can occur. Generally, however, these bites will not be particularly dangerous and will likely only cause slight swelling, itching, and a minimal amount of pain. Unless your cat is hypersensitive to insect bites or stings, most such incidents do not require significant treatment. Despite this, your pet will likely be very grateful to receive some form of relief from troubling symptoms such as itching and irritation.
When a bug bite or sting is at the source of your cat's suffering and irritation, a veterinarian will conduct a physical exam in order to identify the problem. During this examination, the practitioner will look for any of the above signs and symptoms in order to determine the type of insect responsible. Once the specific culprit has been identified, the veterinarian will then be able to evaluate the severity of the situation and decide upon an appropriate form of treatment, if any treatment is required. In the case of a very severe reaction, such as an allergic reaction to one or more bee stings, the veterinary doctor will very quickly be able to identify the life-threatening reaction simply through a physical exam and will immediately begin to administer treatment. In the case of flea allergies, a skin test may be performed in order to evaluate the cat's reaction to flea proteins injected under the skin. However, in most cases such tests are not necessary in order to reach a diagnosis of flea bites and flea allergies, as the clinical signs tend to provide sufficient confirmation. As a result, with respect to cat bug bites, a physical examination is generally all that is required in order to arrive at a diagnosis.
Causes & Pathophysiology
Most bugs will not bite cats if left alone. However, if they are disturbed, they will bite or sting as a defense mechanism. This may occur when a cat accidentally disturbs an insect or when a cat is trying to catch or play with a bug. On the other hand, insects such as fleas and mosquitoes bite cats deliberately, in order to feed upon their blood. No matter how the cat obtains the bite, swelling and irritation usually occur. This irritation generally occurs in the form of itching, and the bite or sting site may also be somewhat painful.
With bloodsucking and parasitic insects such as mosquitoes, fleas, and some mites, this irritation is caused by components in the insects' saliva. When such a bug bites a cat, the saliva gets beneath the animal's skin, triggering a reaction. These reactions include swelling, which can result in tiny bumps or larger lumps, depending on the type of bite or sting. For example, fleas tend to cause very small bumps while mosquitoes typically cause more swelling and, therefore, larger lumps. Other insects, including bees, wasps, and fire ants sting their victims rather than biting them. Venom is injected into a cat via the stinger, and this typically causes more significant swelling than what is seen in the case of mosquito or flea bites.
While spider bites are quite uncommon for cats, when they do occur they can cause large bumps or sores. Enzymes and proteins found in the spider's venom are responsible for triggering the swelling and other symptoms. Although nearly all spiders are poisonous, in most cases their fangs are not big enough or strong enough to penetrate skin. Therefore, the majority of spider bites will not be dangerous and will only cause relatively minor, localized irritation.
Most cat bug bites can be treated in a similar fashion. However, in some circumstances specialized treatment may be necessary. Such circumstances include when a reaction is particularly severe, or where fleas are involved. Simply treating the irritation caused by flea bites is not enough to solve your cat's problem, as the fleas will likely be living in your cat's fur and will continue to bite and trouble your pet. As result, anti-flea treatment may be required in order to kill the fleas and their eggs. This is especially true when a cat suffers from flea allergies. In such circumstances, if the problem is not fully resolved, your cat could end up developing skin disease and a variety of other medical problems. However, more general treatment aimed at soothing irritation and other symptoms caused by a variety of insect bites may be beneficial when used in conjunction with anti-flea treatments. When a cat has been stung rather than bitten, an additional treatment step is also often necessary. This involves removing the stinger if it has been left behind. This should be done by gently scraping the stinger away from the injection site. Scraping tends to be better than using tweezers, as the second method can cause more venom to enter into your cat's system.
No matter what type of insect bite or sting your cat is suffering from, it's important to try to prevent your pet from biting or scratching at the affected area, as this can cause further irritation and can potentially lead to infection. Before applying any form of ointment or other remedy, it's often best to gently clean and dry the bite or sting site. Trimming some of the hair away from around the affected area may also be helpful. Once this is done, there are a number of remedies that can provide relief for your pet. For example, a mixture of baking soda and water can greatly reduce itching when applied to the site of an insect bite. Furthermore, applying a cold compress can help to prevent and reduce swelling. However, it's important to make sure that the compress is not causing your cat more pain and discomfort.
In addition to such home remedies and treatment methods, there are also a number of natural substances and products that can be very beneficial for a cat suffering from bug bites. One such substance is aloe, which is very soothing. This substance is usually available as an aloe vera gel at regular pharmacies. Mashed plantain applied as an infusion or poultice can also provide significant relief. These natural substances and other plant and herbal components can also be found in a variety of homeopathic products. Tea tree oil, Echinacea, and red alder are just a few other natural ingredients that may be used in homeopathic remedies. All of these substances have a variety of properties that assist with reducing inflammation while soothing pain and irritation. So if your cat is unfortunate enough to be the victim of an insect bite or sting, there are numerous ways to help reduce the irritation and other symptoms that are likely to trouble your pet.

Spartans ready to fire their Cannen
Roberson brings unique name, better game to Stanwood
Along with his father, Gunnar, and uncle, Stanwood assistant coach Harlan, the Roberson's also share unique names. Cannen Roberson isn't sure where his name came from, but he's grown to like his unique moniker.
"I'm not really sure," Cannen Roberson said. "I think they just liked the name."
Roberson, a senior for the Stanwood basketball team, moved with his parents to Stanwood before his sophomore year of high school. The Robersons lived in Spokane, another hoops hotbed, before Gunnar Roberson got a job out west.
Gunnar and Harlan played basketball at Lake Stevens High School. However, Harlan was an assistant coach at Stanwood, so when Gunnar asked him where Cannen should go to school, Harlan said the choice was obvious.
"My brother (Gunnar) called me the summer before Cannen's sophomore year and asked me, 'Where should he go to school? Where should I start looking for a house?'" Harlan Roberson said. "I said, 'Duh! Stanwood's a good place to live.'"
That was all Gunnar needed to hear.
"It was pretty set that I was going to go to Stanwood because my uncle coached here," Cannen Roberson said.
The timing couldn't have been better. Stanwood head coach Zach Ward, who was best friends with Harlan, had graduated eight seniors from his varsity team. With more than half of the team gone, Cannen Roberson, Mason Garcea -- another sophomore -- and freshman Josh Thayer were all thrown into starting roles for the Spartans.
"It was kind of unique how it all works out," Ward said. "It's kind of cool how it came full circle. ... He came in as a sophomore and started. We had eight seniors the year before so we were kind of in a rebuilding mode. He was really young, but you could tell he had the skills."
Roberson quickly made the transition from role player to leading scorer in his junior season, going from 10 points per game to an average of 18. Ward said the Spartans "leaned on him more" as a junior, and began to work a lot more of their offense through Roberson.
The summer before this season, Roberson worked with Harlan and a few other players to elevate his game even more.
"It's a special deal to coach your nephew," Harlan Roberson said. "He's worked so hard in the offseason. I had the privilege of training him and a couple other guys. He probably gained 20 pounds of muscle in the offseason. I pushed him as hard as I possibly could and he just answered the call."
The results have been undisputable.
Roberson, despite drawing constant attention from opposing defenses, is averaging a Wesco 3A North-leading 16.3 points per game, while averaging 6.5 rebounds. The versatile 6-foot-5 guard/forward can post up defenders smaller than him, and shoot from long range -- or really anywhere else on the court -- while playing against those that have a height advantage.
"He's our glue," Ward said. "He's not a vocal leader but you hear people say he does everything on the court. He's the equivalent of a 5-tool baseball player."
It's not just his scoring that makes Roberson, who used to pitch when he played baseball, so valuable.
"Even nights when he's not shooting well, I know he's going to get seven or eight rebounds, a few assists, a steal and a block," Ward said. "It's really nice to have that."
Roberson had 16 points in Stanwood's regular season-ending win over Shorewood last Friday that capped a six-game winning streak. The game before that, Roberson finished three assists short of a triple-double in the Spartans' 75-37 win over Everett.
"He played 16 minutes (against Everett) and was three assists short of a triple-double," Ward said. "He'd be fantastic on my fantasy basketball team if I could get him. If only he was eligible to be drafted."
Roberson, along with the rest of the Stanwood team, appears to be peaking at just the right time. Roberson said the team is really tightly knit this year, and that's translated into a successful -- and fun -- season.
"We're doing really well and enjoy playing with each other and have great chemistry," Cannen Roberson said. "It's been a lot of fun. This year's probably the best one that we've had. We've got a lot of guys that know their roles and utilize those roles.
"Our goals at the beginning were win the league. Then going into the postseason district championship and then obviously getting to state."
Along with Roberson, Stanwood has many pieces in place to have a good postseason run, Harlan Roberson said. Drew Sears (6-feet-10) and Drew Stang (6-8) provide height, Thayer and Garcea, two more three-year starters, take care of the guard position and there's depth coming off the Stanwood bench to go along with the league's leading scorer.
"We feel great. We went 12-1 in the regular season in our league," Harlan Roberson said. "(Mountlake) Terrace was our only loss and we were up (by 11 points) at half and for some reason the ball wouldn't go in the basket in the third quarter. We feel like we're in a really good spot. We feel like we have the pieces at every position to make a good run. It's as complete a team as Zach and I have had when we have been here."
A 15-5 regular season record has the Spartans dreaming big. Cannen Roberson said Stanwood has its goals figure out.
"Getting to the state tournament would be nice but also bringing home some hardware would be perfect," Cannen Roberson said. "We're pretty confident about it. We realize that we have a good team and when we're on, we're pretty good."
In order to do that, Stanwood is going to have to navigate a loaded 3A District tournament that features two teams in the latest Associated Press Top 10. Mountlake Terrace (No. 8) and Glacier Peak (No. 10) enter the tournament, along with the Spartans and Shorewood -- both of which also received votes in the poll.
"We realize that there's some really, really good teams in the league. But I think we're good as well," Roberson said. "We're not afraid of them or anything, but we respect them. We played with them in the regular season and I think we can do some damage."
Stanwood is playing in the 3A tournament this season after being a 4A team the past several years. During its last two 4A district tournaments, the Spartans have had some early exits and heartbreaking losses.
Harlan Roberson thinks that Stanwood has learned from those games, and is ready to make sure history doesn't repeat itself.
"I think they feel like it's their time this year," Roberson said. "They're definitely aware of the past, but there focused on only one thing. And that's Wednesday night and that game against Shorecrest."
While it's Cannen's final season for the Spartans, he won't be the final Roberson at Stanwood. Two more uniquely-named Spartans will continue the trend of Robersons. Cannen's brother Skout is a sophomore, and is "probably going to be bigger than Cannen," according to Harlan.
Then there's Harlan's son, Cannen's cousin, who is also aptly named for basketball: Cort.
Said Harlan: "When you grow up in a family with pretty unique names you pass it on."

Skylab was launched into low Earth orbit in May 1973 and occupied until February 1974 by three-man crews on three different missions. Several onboard tool kits contained a variety of tools and supplies for basic repairs and maintenance tasks that the astronauts might need to do while in space. This item is part of a duplicate tool kit from the backup Skylab orbital workshop displayed in the Museum.

Should I digitize my photo collection? Is it safe to throw away my original film and prints after I digitize them?
You may want to digitize your photographs because it offers safe and easy access to the images in your collection. Once your photographs have been scanned, you can view them in electronic form and even make hard copies without risking damage to the originals. Do not throw away your original film and prints after you digitize them. Digitized images are not considered a replacement for originals. Data (i.e. your images) can be lost when the storage media deteriorates; and software and hardware technology become rapidly obsolete, in some cases making retrieval of the images difficult if not impossible. Information is available elsewhere on our site answering the following questions:
How should I store my photographic prints?
If you are an archivist, curator, or custodian of a large photographic collection and are considering digitization, you may want to review the answer to the following question:
Does NARA have any guidelines for digitizing archival materials for web access?

The first goal of a helmet is to protect the rider in the event of a fall and the POC Trebec Race helmet offers the highest level of protection with a maximum amount of comfort for the XC or enduro rider. POC is a Swedish company thats main mission is to protect athletes from accidents in gravity related sports and activities. They utilize input from engineers, graphic designers, neurologist, and back specialists to create comfortable protective gear that fits the body but doesn't compomise safety.
The POC Trabec helmet fits around the head as opposed to on top of the head to offer more protection all around the head. The extra coverage on the side will be appreciated when falling backward or on your side. POC also optimized the shell by eliminating seams in those crucial areas. The shell itself is designed like a skeleton with Aramid filaments reinforcing the harder EPS shell to make a tough and durable protective layer. Built into the shell are aerodynamic channels and 16 vents to keep your head cool and comfortable.
POC Trabec - Winner of the prestigious 2012 Grand Award of Design
The Grand Award of Design is presented annually to a company and its design supplier for a commercially successful product, services or range of products/services. The design should be the key factor in the success. The award has been initiated to highlight the importance of design to the economic success of engineering companies and to serve as an inspiration in business development focusing on design.
The jury's motivation
"Trabec takes the new generation of MTB bikers to unexpected heights. The helmet is constructed to handle tough terrains with a higher cycling pleasure. The design is challenging with high protection without compromising performance. Trabec has a comfortable and solid touch and radiates adventurous freedom. It has already obtained an obvious place among the world's best cyclists. The company behind this success knows how to detect trends and to turn them in to ultimate solutions for it's target group."

Comments about Poc Trabec Helmet 2012:
I bought this helmet for trail riding, and it has been great. I have the green one so it stands out nicely, but also makes my head look like a large lime, which I like. It fits my head perfectly, and doesn't move around at all while riding. I have yet to crash it to check durability, but I did hit my head off of a low lying branch over the trail and all the helmet suffered was a small paint chip on the visor. One issue is that if you ride with glasses the retention straps can get in the way. This is not a big deal however since all you need to do is position the arms of the glasses over the strap.

Comments about Poc Trabec Helmet 2012:
I found that this helmet to be one of the most comfortable ones on the market. It fits true to size and close to a Giro/Bell if that is your noggin type. Can't comment on the functionality of the helmet as I haven't had my head bounce off of anything but the adjustments will fine tune it your head-shape nicely. I didn't notice the lack of air vents compared to other models, but I live in Canada and the weather doesn't get too hot.
To sum up - great fitting helmet, but like most try before you buy to make sure it fits your head shape.

Comments about Poc Trabec Helmet 2012:
After having a Specialized a Giro helmet I've finally found one that fits well. I was constantly fiddling with adjustments on both those helmets, the POC has been solid since the initial adjustments. Fits great and stays in place, doesn't move around on rough terrain. I'm sweat a lot and the pads keep the sweat from eyes. It may be considered a warmer helmet but I feel it's worth the protection. I can't comment on how well it works in an impact yet, that's why I only gave it four stars.

Comments about Poc Trabec Helmet 2012:
I purchased this helmet thinking that it would provide more protection at the back of my head than my Giro XAR. It turns out that they both protect the same area (one doesn't go any lower than the other). The fit was OK, but I preferred the XAR. Seems to be a great helmet, just not for me.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A sprawling adult-only all-inclusive
This sprawling, 450-acre resort will give walkers an opportunity to exercise their legs; otherwise, guests can jump on one of the many golf carts scooting from one end of the property to the other (these free rides are a good way to experience the manicured grounds). The mile-long sandy beach is rocky and not ideal for swimming, but still suitable for games, strolling, and dining (romantic candlelit dinners are possible).
When in need of an escape, the tour desk arranges off-site excursions, or guests can take a shuttle service to visit Playa del Carmen (though the schedule may be limited and reservations are required).
An all-inclusive resort along the beautiful Riviera Maya -- just south of central Cancun
The El Dorado Royale is along the Riviera Maya, closer to the town of Playa del Carmen than Cancun. The Riviera Maya is famous for its large resorts and smaller boutique hotels, as well as the many fine-dining restaurants. The area contains mostly all-inclusive, self-contained resorts, and this one in particular is geared toward adults on a romantic getaway. Visitors don't come to this part of the Riviera Maya for the sights -- there are none -- however, the resort does arrange day trips and excursions. There is a shuttle to Cancun, as well. To get a feel for local flavor, head to the culture-rich downtown area (known as Ciudad Cancun), which is a drive away.
The El Dorado Royale is an adults-only resort with a whopping 450 acres of tropical jungle along the Riviera Maya. There are 13 pools in total -- an important aspect, as the ocean bottom is too rocky for most to enjoy. The resort calls itself a "gourmet" all-inclusive, and offers a dizzying array of restaurants (all with dress codes), as well as bars, nightlife, spa treatments, and on-site activities. There are three total sister properties in this area, and the Royale is the most basic -- though rooms still feel luxurious with balconies or terraces, walk-in showers, whirlpool tubs, bathrobes, and stocked minibars. The resort is attached to the newer Casitas section which has additional amenities such as outdoor showers and private plunge pools.

|State Budget Update from All Children's
The Florida Legislature's budget meetings are continuing. Legislators will be deciding on a budget of approximately $75 billion.
One of All Children's priorities is the implementation of a Diagnosis Related Group (DRG) system. The current DRG proposal will have a negative impact to our health systems. Last year, the state passed legislation to research and implement a DRG system, which would mean a move from a traditional reimbursement model that pays for each day a patient is in the hospital to a model that reimburses on the basis of the severity of the patient's condition. While a DRG system appropriately places the burden on the health system to manage care efficiently, this approach is limited in its capacity to properly reimburse hospitals for complex pediatric disorders which defy easy categorization into DRG's. The proposed Senate plan does not address the fact that teaching, children's and public hospitals face higher costs than other hospitals.
Current proposals have a negative impact to All Children's of $18 million. A recent story in the Tampa Bay Times conveyed the urgency of this issue. We are asking you to be ready to act when called on.
Right now, we are confident that in working with our legislative champions, Speaker Will Weatherford, Chairs Grimsley and Hudson, that All Children's will be protected from these cuts. We are cautiously optimistic and will continue to keep you, our advocates, updated. Thank you for your continued willingness to speak up for children and for All Children's Hospital.

Hello, friends and neighbors. It is good to see you here.
Lady literacy
What do you do with a book that you've read and reread that has become like an old friend, especially in today's ebook world? Retired
"I started buying fiction for my own leisurely reading after college," Diane said in a press release from the college. "During a recent renovation in my home, I decided instead of putting these books on already overstuffed shelves, I would give the books to a local charity. My friend Mary Gail Howland, who works at Coastal's library, suggested that I give them to the college."
Kudos to the college library for accepting and cataloging the books.
While the college library's focus is on academic material, head librarian Sally Goodman said that "we are thrilled to accept these books for the benefit of our students, faculty, and staff." She says Diane's collection of hardbound fiction is in great condition and is an "incredible" donation to fill the shelves at the college.
"The addition of quality fiction in our collection helps us in our mission to promote literacy and the value of reading," Goodman said in the press release.
For people like Coastal employee Becky Eubanks, an avid reader, the donation is providing her with a new book from her wish list each week right on the campus.
"I will continue to give books to Coastal because it makes me happy to know that my books are going to a good home, and they will be read by many different people and enjoyed as much as I have enjoyed them," Diane said.
What a fitting act to promote literacy from a teacher who has spent her life teaching children to read.
Lady Liberty
It's tax time — time for people dressed as the Statue of Liberty to stand at the side of the road and wave a sign at motorists about instant refunds to compel taxpayers to bring the masses in to complete filing taxes. The instant refunds are actually short-term loans based on expected refunds with requisite bank fees for the instant cash.
I have watched these Ladies Liberty do their job in heat, rain, wind and now cold; and while I'm sure these people appreciate the opportunity to earn an honest wage, I have decided that sometimes it is a tough way to make a living especially at night. This week a Lady Liberty waved her sign at the corner of U.S. 258 and the new Walmart shopping center with a flashlight pointed at her for illumination. There was little illumination and probably few takers at that time of night.
Ridge Road Raceway
During last week's warm weather, my son Jimmy and I put my granddaughter Sophia in the stroller and took a walk to enjoy the beautiful weather. We first walked on
This display of muscle car prowess took place just past the home that a couple of weeks ago erected a sign with a squirrel on it asking, "please slow down and let me live." Apparently smashing squirrels is sport on the Ridge Road Raceway.
The neighborhood ends at the canoe and kayaking park on the Blue Creek. I don't believe the other streets are privy to the speedway, just those of us who live on the straightaway to 258 that were here long before the racing and car enthusiasts moved in behind us. It is like drivers turn onto
This lack of regard for the residential speed limit is not only dangerous but has spoiled the enjoyment of the otherwise safe and upscale neighborhood. Numerous calls to law enforcement have yielded a ride through the neighborhood and nothing more. I pray it will not take a tragedy to return the race car drivers to Coastal Plains Speedway.
Thank you for coming.

As a child, I knew that I wanted to become a teacher. I grew up with a mother who taught high school Home Economics and who served as my teacher/mentor. After completing BSE and MSE degrees at ASU, I became a classroom teacher of young children. Those were some of the best days that I could ever imagine! At the end of five years, I made a conscious decision to go to graduate school to further my education. Working on a doctoral degree was not something that I had originally planned, but was a wonderful avenue for meeting new colleagues, increasing my knowledge-base, and developing my writing skills.
My first college teaching job was challenging but rewarding. After two years at a private college, I accepted at position at ASU. During the 20 years of work at ASU, I have become a full professor, assistant chair, and now department chair. These different roles have provided me with opportunities for growth and development as a professional.
While I am uncertain of my next career directions, I am proud to work at the institution from which I graduated and to serve with ASU faculty. Our goal is to train quality teachers and to continue to find effective ways to improve the lives of children and families in our region, the state, and across the US.

On first blush, Lejeune's 63-43 win over South Robeson on Wednesday night was just another lopsided win by the top-seeded and unbeaten Devilpups, who are now headed to the third round of the NCHSAA 1-A girls' basketball playoffs.
But there are reasons for concern.
For the second straight playoff Lejeune (24-0) looked like it missed its wakeup call.
"They had no energy, same problem we had last game," first-year coach Kevin Popadines said. "It's either going to be fixed or it's going to bite us. If we come out and play four quarters, we're going to be real tough to beat. But teams we've got coming down the road, two quarters isn't going to cut it."
Next up for the Devilpups will be fifth-seeded James Kenan (21-4), which will travel to Camp Lejeune on Friday with a trip to Fayetteville and the East Regional semifinals up for grabs. The time of the game will be announced today.
James Kenan won at fourth-seeded Goldsboro 61-55 Wednesday night.
While the Devilpups are continuing to win, Popadines isn't all that happy that his team is living dangerously.
"I don't like it. It's stressing me out. It's going to bite us at some point," he said. "Either we're going to play four quarters every night and do something special or we're going to be disappointed."
Senior Chatori Major, who had 29 points and 10 rebounds against the eighth-seeded Mustangs (14-9), shared her coach's concerns.
"It's really worrisome because if we play like this against a good team, there's no telling if we're going to come back or not. There's no guarantee," she said. "If we start out slow, we might finish slow because the team might just be not better than us but they have more energy and more heart."
Major said "some problems with the team, players were out for personal reasons" may have contributed to the slow start. Popadines said another factor could be the lack of JV games and the schedule — Wednesday's game tipped off at 5 p.m. — was different.
Whatever the case, the Devilpups won — and won handily once they played like themselves.
But the Mustangs battled Lejeune even for a half thanks to a 1-2-2 zone that spread out to a 3-2 and caused the Devilpups problems. Popadines expected South Robeson to do what most teams do against Major — use a box-and-one or triangle-and-two against her.
"That was a little different," he said. "We haven't seen much of that in our conference."
And with freshman A'terria Quick scoring half her 20 points in the opening half, the Mustangs led 22-19 with 3:08 left in the opening half before Major hit both her 3-pointers in the final 2:53 to give the Devilpups an uneasy 29-27 lead at intermission.
Then with Lejeune up 31-30 the Devilpups put it in high gear, outscoring the Mustangs 19-1 to take command at 50-31 late in the third quarter. Major had 8 points in the run, which also saw La La Lee, who missed Monday's game for reasons Popadines declined to discuss, scored 6 straight points, one on a follow and another off a feed from Major.
"She's a match-up problem, especially just the way she can post up and get those hands high," he said. "Any penetration we can get right to them. She's not afraid to shoot. So that's a good thing for being down low."
Asked about the third-quarter surge, Major said:
"We had more energy, and we were just picking it back up. Sometimes we just turn it on and turn it off. That's a bad thing to be honest. We need to have it turned on all the time, but I guess we're just starting in the third quarter."
So did Popadines' halftime talk wake up his girls? Maybe, maybe not, he said, adding he "laid it out like it was."
"I said if we play this hard, it's not going to happen. If we can pick it up, we're just going to be just fine. I guess they bought in. It looks like they bought in," he said. "But I tried to give the same speech before tip-off and I don't know. It worked one time. I'm going to try to record my words next time and use exactly the same before the (next) game."

Changing the game for both still photographers and videographers, the all new Canon EOS 70D brings new power to the DSLR Field. Revolutionary new Dual Pixel CMOS AF allows for unprecedented smooth and precise AF performance during Live View and Video recording. Using the touch sensitive Vari-Angle LCD allows shooters to just point at their subjects for crystal clear images and video. The powerful Digic 5+ processor grants users great creative freedom with built in HDR shooting and Creative Filters to enhance their images
20.2 MegaPixel CMOS Sensor: Completely redesigned to incorporate Dual Pixel AF, the new 20.2 Megapixel CMOS Sensor in the EOS 70D not only delivers the uncompromising image quality and clarity, but also reaches into a high ISO of 25,600 to deliver results in any lighting situations. Paired to the Digic5+ Image processor, photos in low light are crisp and clean and autofocus is fast and accurate.
Dual Pixel AF: Completely new and revolutionary, Canons Dual Pixel AF delivers fast and accurate focusing during Live View and Movie Recording. Fully supporting Movie Servo, the 70D can now track and follow subjects in motion or switch between subjects with a smooth and natural field. Follow Focus and shallow depth of field effects are now within reach of any videographer. The Vari-Angle LCD and Touch Autofocus grant compositional freedom to explore hard to reach areas. Since its a Canon, it is compatible with over 103 Canon lenses.
Fast Action Shooting: Canons Digic 5+ Processor enables the 70D to be super-fast, both in focus and shooting. Up to 7.0 Frames Per Second insures that you never miss a decisive moment in the action. The Dual Pixel AF makes live view focusing as fast and accurate as viewfinder shooting, both in stills and movie recording, so you dont ever miss the game.
Built In WiFi: The simplicity and convenience of life without wires is built right into the compact EOS 70D. Using the WiFi standard, sharing and printing images has never been easier. Fully DLNA compatible makes connections to other DLNA devices quick and easy. Using the EOS Remote App you can control the 70D from afar, complete with full exposure control and live view. File transfer is also possible between compatible EOS cameras and your favorite social sharing sites using the included Canon Image Gateway program.
Advanced In-Camera Shooting and Editing: The 70Ds creative features expand shooting possibilities with new shooting modes, such as HDR, multiple exposure and HDR Backlight control. Seven filters turn your photos into works of art. Creative Filters include Grainy Black and White, Soft Focus, Fisheye Effect, Toy Camera Effect, Miniature Effect, Art Bold Effect and Water Painting Effect. Each effect can be applied in three different levels (low, standard and strong), and easily previewed on the LCD panel in Live View. Since the filters can be applied to the image after shooting, its easy to try several effects on the same shot during post-process right in the camera!
19 Point AF System: 19 Focusing points cover the EOS 70Ds image area. All 19 points are high precision cross-type sensors. The high sensitivity center point is f/2.8 dual cross-type to assist in focusing using lenses of f/2.8 or faster. This versatile AF system is tied to the Digic 5+ processor to track moving objects that may move arratically in either horizontal or vertical orientation. The entire system is customizable for any situations.
FEATURE: The EOS 70D cameras Intelligent Viewfinder offers a sharp, bright, approximately 98% field of view with an approximate magnification of 0.95x, a viewing angle of 27.9° and a 22mm eyepoint. Using a superimposed LCD, all pertinent shooting information is in front of the photographer so you never have to remove your eye from the viewfinder. And in case of information overload, the viewfinder is customizable, so you can focus on the image with little to no distractions.

What is eureka?
When you have a problem that needs to be figured out, you may opt to figure it out by concentrating on it until you find the answer, maybe stroking your chin and saying hmmm. Or, the answer may come suddenly, like a bolt from the blue, when you weren't even thinking about it. Why does only the second method seem like inspiration? There isn't a lot of difference here. Either way, any solution you ended up with came from your unconscious mind.
In the first example, the conscious mind thinks it worked it out or was in on it in some vital way. But the conscious mind has no capacity to use logic or math. Those talents lie in the hands of our organic mind. Our intellectual talents developed long before consciousness and are performed in a multi-tasking parallel manner which is impossible for the conscious mind to perceive. Likewise, the unconscious mind has limited ability to cope with problems that require even a minimum of conceptual structure. That requires higher stage mental organizations to create a mental workspace where the problem can be broken into parts and then separately and sequentially presented to the unconscious mind which processes and responds with answers.
If you think about it, that act we think of as thinking is simply us consciously herding or steering what other parts of our mind actually do. The role of thinking in problem solving is compiling and organizing a conceptual representation of the problem at hand, like a Power Point presentation to ourselves. Thinking of this sort is a conscious experience, and can create the illusion that thinking is strictly a conscious process.
From our conscious perspective, a sort of process is going on, unfolding in time. We see ourselves thinking logically or working it out, even though at any step of this process we have no perception of how any answer was actually arrived at. Most of the time, we see enough continuous steps to be satisfied that we are consciously sorting things out. But there is a threshold of steps below which we lose the illusion of thinking and can no longer account for our emerging ideas. That's when we call the process intuition.
Intuition has been called body knowledge, or race-memory, or a spiritual message. The first two are embedded in the design of our physical forms. It is knowledge learned by your ancestors passed on genetically and built right into your emotional and intellectual character. It is knowledge from every move you've made and experience you've had, the vast majority of which you had no conscious experience of. It's knowledge you can't know- somatic knowledge.
Our computers are a good analogy. You might know how to tell your computer to store a bitmap as a jpeg, but you probably don't know how the little electric chicklets inside do it. It's the same with our minds. If asked, "What was the capital of Assyria?", you might remember the answer… but how? Historical facts are no different than a charging gorilla. Do you know how you switched on your adrenalin?
As this inner knowledge is revealed through life experience, consciousness recreates this knowledge into information- what we think we know. That information becomes more conceptual building blocks of the conscious world. Once experienced, we can consciously have known something all along and know that we knew it, but we can't consciously know something that we haven't experienced hence don't know yet. This is why intuition isn't known, intuition is experienced.
