Tentative proposal involves using $500K of budget surplus to help firms stay afloat
Oceanside would offer low-interest loans to businesses to help them open or stay in the city under a plan being developed by City Manager Peter Weiss and Economic Development Coordinator Tracey Bohlen.
The tentative proposal is to use $500,000 of a projected $1.3 million budget surplus this fiscal year to offer loans of up to $100,000 at interest rates below what businesses could get elsewhere, Weiss said.
"We've had a lot of smaller businesses wanting to come up and open or expand, and they're running into financial problems," Weiss said. He said the city loan program would give them the extra help they need to make it.
"We can attract business and keep them here for not a whole lot of money," Weiss said.
Weiss and Bohlen will present the idea to the City Council on Feb. 27.
If the council gives the go-ahead, Bohlen said, city staffers would work out the details of the program with the goal of presenting a formal proposal to the council in March. If approved, the program could be up and running by the end of June.
The tentative plan is for the city to offer three categories of loans.
Micro loans of up to $30,000 would be offered to small businesses, such as restaurants, to help make building improvements or buy equipment.
"It could be used for new (stove) hoods or grease traps," Bohlen said. "It will be for a range of business needs."
Gap financing loans, probably up to $50,000, would be offered to businesses that need extra capital to back up bank financing they have for construction, Bohlen said.
"Sometimes they need extra collateral" to secure a bank construction loan, and the city would provide that to remove what could have been a fatal snag, Bohlen said.
Targeted tenant loans of up to $100,000 would be offered to building owners who want to upgrade their property to make it more attractive to biotech and high-technology companies, she said.
"We don't have the quick and easy building space to move into if you need lab space or you need a small production area for clinical trials," Bohlen said. "If they get approval from the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), they need it (space) yesterday."
Those businesses now go to La Jolla or University City in San Diego, where such space is readily available, she said.
Bohlen said once it's up and running, the loan program would be self-sustaining, with new loans offered as old ones are paid off.
"We're looking at doing a competitive rate, probably prime plus 2.5 to 3 percent, which would be a lower rate than (businesses) could get on the market," Bohlen said.
The loans could be for as short a period as five years or as long as 20 years, she said.
Mayor Jim Wood said he likes the idea, as does Councilman Jack Feller.
"If we have the ability and the money to help companies that need a little assistance, that's something I'd be willing to look at," Wood said.

Julian of Norwich
(c 1342-1416)
Lady Julian, 1342 - c1416, is named after the church where she resided during the latter part of her life. Her own name is unknown, and there are very few facts that are recorded about her life.
Julian's World
We do know that she was born in England in 1342 during the days of the Black Death. In fact, the Bubonic plague swept through Norwich three times during her life. As very few personal details of her life have been preserved, we can only speculate whether or not Julian was married, and if she lost a family to the plague. Certainly, virtually every home was affected by the plague to varying degrees.
Life in Julian's day was difficult. In addition to the constant looming threat of death due to the black death, there was also rampant poverty, unemployment, high taxes, bad harvests, political unrest, war with France, religious division and persecution. (Just half a mile from Julian`s Church, the early followers of the Protestant John Wycliff, The Lollards, were being martyred in the Lollards pit).
In this world where death seemed to reign, the church itself also preached mostly on themes of death. Judgment after death, and the passion and death of Christ were the most common sermon themes. In addition to the terror of death in this life, people were also terrified of facing a greater judgment from God after death.
Into this world was Julian born—and into this world she went forth—with a passion to know and love God, and to be a true and pleasing Christian. She asked the Lord for three things in her life:
First; she prayed for revelation and that she might personally share in and have a greater understanding of the Passion of Christ.
Second, she asked God for a "near death experience" that would basically cause everyone to believe her to be dead—even though she would not actually die. In this way, she felt that she could receive all the rites of the Church and be fully cleansed by the mercy of God and go on to lead a more consecrated life to His Glory. (Please note that the theology in Julian's day led her to believe that this would be one sure way of being cleansed and sanctified before God with a deep assurance of salvation).
Though she asked God for the first two requests to be granted only if it was His will, her last request was of unconditional surrender. Her desire was for three internal "wounds." These were: a true contrite and humble heart, natural compassion for others, and an unshakable longing and passion for God.
The Visions
God was soon to answer her prayers. In early May, 1373, at the age of thirty and a half, Julian became very ill with the Plague, receiving the last rites on the fourth day. On the seventh day, her mother reached out to close her daughter's eyes. In the next few moments, Julian suddenly felt a new surge of health course through her body, and her physical pain began to ebb away. Suddenly, Julian was carried away into a heavenly realm and began to see visions--a total of16 in all. These visions were to profoundly affect her life, and became the source of her two books.
After recovering from her illness, she wrote a short text--her first book--about her heavenly visions; and desiring a closer union with God, gave her life to contemplation and prayer as an anchoress. An anchoress was a person who though called to a solitary life, was not cut-off from the world, but anchored in it. Her home was a small room, attached to the Church of Saint Julian, just off one of the main streets of Norwich. Her cell had 3 windows that opened; one into the Church, so she could hear Mass and receive the sacrament; one to communicate with her servant, who would have lived close at hand; one to give counsel and encouragement to those who sought her advice. During her lifetime, she gained the reputation as a wise counselor, whose advice combined spiritual insight with common sense, and many persons came to speak with her.
After twenty years of prayer and contemplation, she was to write more fully of her experience. Wanting her book to be available to more people, she chose to write it in English rather than Latin. She was in fact, the first woman to write a book in English. Entitled, "The Revelations of Divine Love," it is interesting that some of the most profound revelations of God's love and sovereign care, came through a women in who lived in some of the most turbulent and dark days of European history. In her writing, she reveals a profound level of wisdom and insight that, over six hundred years later, remains a strong word to minister to the contemporary church.
Her Book
In her book, she shares how the Lord Jesus was revealed to her not an angry Person, full of sorrow and vengeance for a creation gone awry, but a joyful Savior who looked with love and patience upon His creatures.
"Glad and merry and sweet is the blessed and lovely demeanour of our Lord towards our souls, for he saw us always living in love-longing, and he wants our souls to be gladly disposed toward him . . . by his grace he lifts up and will draw our outer disposition to our inward, and will make us all at unity with him, and each of us with others in the true, lasting joy which is Jesus."
Each time Jesus appeared in a vision, Julian's heart was flooded with greater and greater joy. She saw the Godhead as our Maker, our Keeper, our everlasting Lover, and our endless source of Joy and Bliss.
In one vision, she saw God as our clothing, wrapping us and holding us tenderly in His love. Next, she described seeing God holding a tiny thing in his hand, like a small brown hazelnut, which seemed so fragile and insignificant that she wondered why it did not crumble before her eyes. She understood that the thing was the entire created universe, and that it would continue always because God loves it, just as everything is loved and has its being by the love of God. Such a tiny thing was easy for God to keep, and He kept if faithfully. She was told, "God made it, God loves it, God keeps it." Receiving this revelation brought a deep sense of rest and happiness to her soul, knowing that nothing could separate her from the love of God.
In her first eight visions, Julian saw many aspects of the Passion of Christ. The first one was an answer to her prayer have greater revelation of Christ's suffering. In her vision, she saw the red blood trickling down from the garland just as it was at Jesus' Passion when the thorns were pressed into His head. Julian was overwhelmed with the reality that He who suffered for her was both God and man. Julian saw that God truly suffered--- what He suffered and for whom He suffered. She saw that we should view what He went through with contrition and compassion. However, in the visions of Christ's passion, Julian did not witness His actual death. Instead, she saw Jesus' expression change to joy. This filled her with a deep happiness. She understood that if we in this life take up our crosses and follow Jesus, we will also share in the joy that was set before Him, by which He endured the cross; and we too will be changed.
Her introspective nature was troubled that sometimes we are faced with decisions where there is no clear moral answer. It troubled her that sometimes, no matter which way we decide, we will have acted from motives that are less then completely pure, so that neither decision is defensible. She finally wrote: "It is enough to be sure of the deed. Our courteous Lord will deign to redeem the motive."
Of our response to the sins of others, she said: "The soul that would preserve its peace, when another's sin is brought to mind, must fly from it as from the pains of hell, looking to God for help against it. To consider the sins of other people will produce a thick film over the eyes of our soul, and prevent us for the time being from seeing the 'fair beauty of the Lord'-- unless, that is, we look at them contrite along with the sinner, being sorry with and for him, and yearning over him for God. Without this it can only harm, disturb, and hinder the soul who considers them. I gathered all this from the revelation about compassion...This blessed friend is Jesus; it is his will and plan that we hang on to him, and hold tight always, in whatever circumstances; for whether we are filthy or clean is all the same to his love."
In a later vision Julian realized that sin stood in the way of her yearning for God. Without sin we would have been pure and like God, and all would have been well. This troubled her, as to why God allowed sin in the first place. When she questioned Him about it, Jesus reassured "that all would be well, and all manner of things would be well".
Rather than seeing Hell merely as a place of punishment Julian saw that sin itself was the hardest hell, and the true hell which the Savior came to redeem us from.
Another matter that greatly troubled her was the fate of those who through no fault of their own had never heard the Gospel. She never received a direct answer to her questions about them, except to be told that whatever God does is done in Love, and therefore "that all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well."
In her vision, Julian was constantly encouraged to trust the love and wisdom of God, being assured again and again, that "all shall be made well."
Julian's end-time view was radically different than most of the church in her day:
"It appears to me that there is a deed that the Holy Trinity shall do on the last day, and when that deed shall be done and how it shall be done is unknown to all creatures under Christ, and shall be until it has been done. -- This is the great deed ordained by our Lord God from eternity, treasured up and hidden in his blessed breast, only known to himself, and by this deed he shall make all things well; for just as the Holy Trinity made all things from nothing, so the Holy Trinity shall make all well that is not well.
"And I wondered greatly at this revelation, and considered our faith, wondering as follows: our faith is grounded in God's word, and it is part of our faith that we should believe that God's word will be kept in all things; and one point of our faith is that many shall be damned, -- And given all this, I thought it impossible that all manner of things should be well, as our Lord revealed at this time.~ And I received no other answer in showing from our Lord God but this: "What is impossible to you is not impossible to me. I shall keep my word in all things and I shall make all things well."
Though she may not have had the theology to lay it all out point by point, Julian's soul was solidly set in a faith that could not be shaken, that God would make right every area where there had been wrong; and that He was completely trustworthy, wise, powerful and loving. To this "courteous God," Julian encourages us to keep on praying, to keep on thanking, trusting, rejoicing---knowing that life is not absurd but has a divine purpose.
This is Julian's optimistic, visionary theology -- a theology where the love of God is expressed not in terms of law and duty, but in terms of joy and heartfelt compassion.
The precise date of her death is uncertain.

BENTONVILLE, AR-- For 20 years, the Northwest Arkansas Children's Shelter has been an emergency safe haven for kids needing a happy home. Executive director Steve Schotta says decking the halls with Christmas decor makes them feel like a family.
"They need to feel secure, we don't always know the circumstances that they are coming from", said schotta.
The shelter helps to create new holiday habits for little ones coming from hardships at home forced to grow up and forget about being a kid.
Schotta said, "We celebrate with ten wrapped presents per child, as well as all the stockings and all the other fun things."
The community plays a key role in leading these kids from feeling helpless to feeling happy.... one handprint at a time.
"Not only you know our operating needs throughout the year are clothes, and personal items and things like that but at the holiday season", said Schotta.
Marketing Director, Greg Russell, says consistant contributions from the community is what keeps the shelter going.
"The outpouring of generosity by the community makes up the biggest part of our operating budget", said Russell.
The gift of giving is the best way to ring in the new year... complete with a priceless reward for those paying it forward.
Russell said, "you can actually see the transformations in these kids lives, we like to say that we like to give kids the gift of hope here of seeing a different way of life that they may not have been exposed to and that they can have a better more rewarding future because of that and there is no more rewarding gift than that."
To donate to Northwest Arkansas Children's Shelter, goods can be dropped off year round, or you can visit their secure donation portal at NWACS.ORG.

- Workshop with Russell Yost
Workshop with Russell Yost
On Tuesday the 14th of January, a group of Academy students had the opportunity to listen to a lecture by Russell Yost, the Director of Marketing for the Atkinson Graduate School of Management as well as a professor at the school. Yost introduced the students to how marketing and advertising are present in our daily lives and gave in depth insight into potential career fields for the students.
Yost introduced the students to a variety of aspects of the marketing field including television, online, as well as social marketing. He explained the significance of advertisements and communication in the business world and gave examples, such as the sheer cost of a 30 second commercial at the Superbowl ($4 million in case you were wondering), to note the importance given to advertisements in our society. He also asked the students for their insight on the subject, questioning as to what car or clothing brand they would use to define themselves. This activity opened the door for the students to view marketing as not simply an advertisement for a product, but for a value and an identity.
Yost transitioned the discussion towards potential career fields that a marketing degree could lead. He discussed potential careers ranging from public relations to market analysis and used the diversity in career options to show the students that a marketing degree, and more importantly an MBA, have the potential to open doors to many careers.
In total, the workshop allowed the students to not only gain insight into a strong and prominent career field, but also knowledge of the effects and presence of marketing in every day society.

Jimmy Fallon reveals Winnie Rose's name origins
Winnie Rose isn't a strange name by Hollywood standards, but it's origins might not be what people expect. Jimmy Fallon revealed the special meaning "Winnie" has for him and wife Nancy Juvoven Fallon in a new interview, and it turns out the name was chosen in honor of the lake where they would frequently vacation and even got engaged at: New Hampshire's Lake Winnipesaukee.
"We were talking about different names. You overthink names -- you don't want a name that's been done, but then you don't want something so weird people are like, 'What?!' Winnipesaukee's a little long," Fallon says on "Today." "Also she's a 'win' for us."
He adds that "The Wonder Years" connotations make the name even better. "Winnie from 'The Wonder Years' is the coolest girl on TV ever," he says.

'Cinnamon Challenge,' Popular with Teens, Proves Risky | TIME
It's a relatively simple dare, but teens are sending themselves to the hospital by attempting the "cinnamon challenge."
The objective is to swallow a tablespoonful of cinnamon in under 60 seconds — a nearly impossible feat that causes contenders to gasp, spit and choke while attempting to keep the spice down. The game has gained popularity in the last few years, and as Newsfeed reported earlier this month, video after video of teens attempting the challenge are popping up on YouTube.
But the nonsensical challenge has serious health consequences. According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC), in the first three months of 2012, the nation's poison control centers have received 139 calls seeking help for cinnamon misuse and 122 of the calls were related to the "cinnamon challenge." Out of the 139 calls, 30 needed medical attention.

press releaseBy Charlene Porter
Washington — The worst drought in more than half a century in Eastern Africa has brought on the region's worst food insecurity in 20 years, according to an assessment of conditions in the region released by the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit-Somalia (FSNAU), a project funded jointly by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the European Commission.
"The current situation represents Africa's worst food security crisis since Somalia's 1991-1992 famine," according to an August 16 FSNAU report. The report further predicts that the critical food needs will persist until at least December 2011.
U.S. and international estimates find that more than 12 million people in this region are expected to be affected by the widespread food insecurity.
Famine conditions were first declared in two regions of southern Somalia a month ago, and now food insecurity has reached the level of famine in three other areas of Somalia, notably the capital, Mogadishu. The FSNAU assessment, compiled with information from food experts in the regions, finds that 3.7 million people are in a state of food crisis, and that 3.2 million people need immediate lifesaving assistance.
Lack of rain has cracked the earth and killed the animals, and tens of thousands of Somalis have left their lands to seek assistance in the capital. About 700,000 other Somalis have crossed international borders to refugee camps in Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti. Drought is also widespread in these countries, where native populations are themselves under stress for resources as they attempt to accommodate desperate Somali refugees and the international donors who have converged on the region to attempt assistance.
USAID is among the major players in the relief effort, and has been responsible for the distribution of some $580 million in U.S. assistance to provide food, medicine and shelter to Africans struggling to survive this crisis.
The U.S.-backed Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) forecast the drought and predicted the famine as much as a year ago, allowing USAID and other donors to preposition food in the region to be ready for the mounting urgency of food insecurity.
But along with hunger, sickness comes all too frequently. As stores and food supplies have grown scarcer or impossibly costly, many in the region are developing malnutrition. In this physically compromised condition, the Somalis walk sometimes hundreds of miles to reach a refugee camp in neighboring countries.
They find camps exceeding capacity, with little water and poor sanitation facilities, providing the perfect breeding ground for infectious diseases. Both cholera and measles have stricken the region, according to the latest bulletin on World Health Organization (WHO) efforts in the region.
Cases of measles increased in July more than sixfold, compared with a similar period in 2010. WHO and other health agencies have launched an emergency vaccination campaign in South and Central Somalia, attempting to reach 2.3 million children with vaccines.
Almost 4,700 cholera cases have been confirmed in Mogadishu and other regions, with children under 5 accounting for 75 percent of the cases.
"WHO's major concern is to monitor and detect new disease outbreaks in the many informal settlements set up by internally displaced people in and around Mogadishu," according to the latest WHO bulletin. "These informal settlements are a major challenge to the few health service providers who also have limited operational capacity."
Amidst this sheaf of sobering reports, USAID does foresee a couple of good breaks by year's end. While conditions may get worse until October, the prospect for a Kenyan harvest is at near-normal output in the key agricultural areas of the Rift Valley, Nyanza and the Western provinces, where rainfall has been near normal. The yields for the season could reach near-normal levels, according to an August 22 USAID report, with a downward trend in maize prices.
Looking toward the next rainy season, October to December, the USAID report says that if the rains reach normal levels, food security conditions would be expected to improve.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW: This is the 21st offering of this program. This program is coordinated by the NIU Study Abroad Office (SAO) in cooperation with the Northern Illinois University Department of Communication, English, and History. The program is in response to a growing interest among Americans in the Irish media scene which has produced such popular films as My Left Foot, The Field, Michael Collins, The Crying Game, In the Name of the Father, and The Butcher Boy, along with general interest in Irish culture and history as evidenced through Irish Studies Programs which are currently offered by many American colleges and universities.
Past programs have featured guest lectures from Professor Luke Gibbons, co-author of Cinema and Ireland (1989), author of Transformations in Irish Culture (1996), Reinventing Ireland: Culture, Society and the Global Economy (co-editor, 2002) and The Quiet Man (2002), as well as Professor Martin McLoone, author of Inside Film: The Emergence of a Contemporary Cinema (2001). Other lectures may include notable Irish film and television directors who will present their media productions. Major Irish authors may also present readings from their works. Students in previous years have visited such local cultural and historical sites as the Abbey Theater, Glendalough Monastic site, Kilmainham Gaol, Trinity College's 'Long Room,' and attended the Galway Film Festival.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: Students will become sophisticated in issues of international culture via an immersion in Irish politics, history, literature, and media. Ireland's role in the European Union has attracted wide interest from those interested in the mechanics of social change. Ireland's literature has long been preeminent in Europe and America. The Irish film industry stands as a model for understanding media's role in those developments, and students will be introduced to leading scholars and practitioners in these areas.

July 22 - August 10, 2012
PROGRAM OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES: The primary purpose of this program is to provide participants with the opportunity to learn and experience the history of Malaysia and the Malay world, on site and in a living laboratory. Because of its unique history, Malaysia, unlike any other country, is comprised of significant Malay, Chinese, and Indian populations. For example, students interested in religion can interact with large Islamic, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, animist, and syncretic groups. Those interested in race and culture and its intersections can experience all of Asia (Arab, Indian, Chinese, and Malay) all in one place. Finally, Malaysia is home to the world's once-greatest entrepot and the city that lured Columbus to cross the sea, Melaka, where history is alive and on display.

"He's got big balls. I like that." -Josh Koschek on Frank Trigg's balls.
Are you kidding? How many gifs have there been in this thread alone? The evidence of Jones breaking the rules over and over again is absolutely staggering. That many violations of the rules with no signs of the pattern changing indicates that he does it on purpose, thus is a dirty fighter. Of course we're going to disagree with Bonesknows. He's so blindly adamant that his favourite fighter is the greatest of all time that he can't possibly be a dirty fighter. Don't get me wrong, Jones is an incredibly talented fighter but I think it's an absolute shame that he takes so many liberties with the rules. I find it disrespectful to his opponents and harmful to what could potentially be a great legacy.
Then he made a video pretty much joking about his dirty tactics and removes it almost immediately lol. "Greatest lhw of all time" and "number 1 p4p kingpin" lol yea right.
Cat is being sincere, if insistent, and I don't think that's close to what we had with the trolling a while back.
And, to his credit, while I think BonesKnows was one of the people who made the forum undesirable when he joined by being needlessly aggressive and childish, he's much better now. I'd say his responses in this thread are pretty tame.
I'm not a Jones fan and I think his outstretched hand tactic is dirty. But I also think he obviously has the highest fight IQ in the game today. And that's on top of incredible physical gifts.
I really think Jones wouldn't get so much flack if he just closed his left hand when gauging distance.
His oblique kicks will probably almost always be considered strictly dirty, or not, I happen to think they aren't.
His forearming and handling of the throat is also something that really needs to be looked at. I wonder how many times he was under the chin instead of on the throat...
It's pretty absurd to say that Jones is talentless, come on now. It's also pretty absurd to think that just because you haven't been penalized for fighting dirty that you aren't fighting dirty.
You have to know what you don't know.

Tell me folks what's the difference betwix a formula and a recipe?
I saw Lant ask for the recipe for soap making.
Should it be a recipe or formula, now I don't know of any formulas for making cakes, unless that is for Rock Cakes. What say you folks.

They are the same but different
They are interchangeable however a formula has more broad definitions like for math, science etc.

Admiring your tenacity
Congratulations Jen, as a follower of your previous effort I must applaud your change to orange. However, I'm also compelled to comment on the things you're not changing.
Same dogged determination to see it all through in spite of the cost and risk.
Same attention to detail from engine development by Cosworth to following up on every post in your thread.
Same insistence on being different and unique. Even with a conventional color (brand) choice you came up with a completely off the wall approach.
All in all, I'd say very innovative. This effort seems to be far broader in it's approach than your first, which seemed to be quite the learning experience. I suspect the resulting education at the university of hard knocks had something to do with this revised approach? Let us know when you'll be coming to Colorado, I'd like to tag along on one of the fund raising rides as I'm sure many others here would as well. Subscribed (again)...
I'll be out there...

Lukas Podolski is looking forward to Arsenal's last-16 clash with former club Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League. The Gunners were eliminated by eventual champions on away goals last season, after losing 3-1 at home and winning 2-0 at the Allianz Arena, and Podolski wants to take revenge this time around.
Bayern are one of the favourites to win the Champions League again in 2013/14 and by doing so they would become the first club to successfully defend the title since the competition was revamped in 1992.
Podolski is bidding to stop them, however, and gain revenge for last season's painful exit.
"We know them well and Bayern are one of the best teams around, but we are also playing a good season and we'll try all we can to turn around the result from last season this time around," he told Germany's Sport1 television.
"Of course I know them and am friends with them - I know the bosses (president) Uli Hoeness and (chairman) Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and everybody who works at the club, but when the game approaches and we get out onto the field, then you are only focused. Like I say, our aim this time is to get into the next round."
World Cup dream
Beyond that, the Germany international has further aims and objectives for 2014
"It could be an exciting year," he said. "We're top of the Premier League with Arsenal and we want to stay there.
"Then of course there is the World Cup, which is another great highlight, but that is a bit further down the line.
"Our last major tournaments have gone well and I think we can play a major role again. We'll all be more clued up on where we stand after our first game, but the aim is to finish at the very top."

I was quite pleased with their spring discovery. Especially coming after the troublesome well problems that flared up out of the blue a couple weeks ago. Well, I figured, maybe we can just use the spring.
Except that it didn't flow all the time. Some days it was like a brook, and some days it was just a streak of mud.
Likewise, the well only worked sometimes. Perfect for days, and then all of a sudden -- no pressure. This was especially frustrating because we were trying to move the animals to a new watering system.This is the pig waterer. It is made out of an old tire filled with cement. The Big Man made it. There are apparently some more nuanced facets involved (I am being over-the-shoulder edited as we speak); perhaps the Big Man will elaborate for himself at some point. Anyway, the hope is that we can roll it around to wherever we have the pigs parked, plug 'er in, and the pigs will have fresh clean water. There is a similar contraption for the chickens, which is especially exciting because they tend to, erm, contaminate their water pretty quickly with all their...fertilizer. A couple problems so far. One is that the pigs are not really giving the chickens the appropriate and polite personal space that they need. First, they like to chase them. Second, they discovered that the dripping chicken waterers can be used to make all new wallows around the chicken coop. This results in a muddy patch full of happy pigs outside, and a bunch of riled up chickens squawking in the rafters inside.
So we had to re-adjust some plans. Movable electro-netting fence is in the mail, for an impermeable pig-chicken barrier. More on that later.
As for the waterfowl and turkeys, they just drink a LOT. The one gallon waterer they have now lasts only for a couple hours. And the ducks need a deeper water source to keep their beaks clean and clear. All problems to be solved, ideas tested in the next couple weeks. They've been faring pretty well...they can come and go from their little pen, squiggling under the chicken wire in a herd, or flapping over it (turkeys) but the pigs don't think it worth the effort to get through to bother them.
The biggest complication being that sometimes the well flows. And sometimes the spring does. Never both at once. Always one or the other.
We have yet to figure out how, exactly, that works. But it is certainly annoying.

Pew Research Center survey reports, demographic studies and data-driven analysis
Reagan's Recession
In the depths of the 1981-1982 recession, Americans were far more displeased with their president and his policies than were their predecessors during the Great Depression, more so even than in today's high-unemployment economy.
How a Different America Responded to the Great Depression
The American public's sour mood is in interesting contrast with many of the public's views during the Great Depression of the 1930s, not only on economic, political and social issues, but also on the role of government in addressing them.
Tax Deal Wins Broad Bipartisan Support
The public views the tax agreement between Obama and congressional Republicans as beneficial to both the economy and their personal finances. There are virtually no partisan differences in opinions about the agreement.
What kind of response do you get to mail versus phone versus e-mail polling?
Senior research staff answer questions from readers relating to all the areas covered by our seven projects, ranging from polling techniques and findings, to media, technology, religious, demographic and global attitudes trends.
Who Tweets?
When asked specifically if they are on Twitter, rather than a generic status-updating site, 8% of online adults say they use the popular social media tool. Tweeting is especially popular among young adults, minorities and those who live in cities.
Blogs and Twitter Talk WikiLeaks
WikiLeaks was a popular topic across social media, but while blogs stayed political, Twitter users focused on the technological and international aspects of the story. The death of actor Leslie Neilsen, drew equal attention on blogs.
Deficit Solutions Meet With Public Skepticism
While an overwhelming number of Americans deem the deficit a major problem that must be dealt with now, few are willing to support specific proposals to address the issue. On dealing with the deficit, Obama has more credibility than Republican congressional leaders.
Public Sees WikiLeaks as Harmful
Most Americans following news about the WikiLeaks's release of classified documents about U.S. diplomatic relations see the revelations doing more harm than good.
WikiLeaks Data Dump Drives News
Attention to the economy reached its highest level in 20 months and a major document dump cemented WikiLeaks' status as a significant newsmaker.
Mixed Views on Tax Cuts, Support for START and Allowing Gays to Serve Openly
With the public giving subpar approval ratings to President Obama and continuing to express negative views of Congress and the political parties, it goes its own way on many of the remaining issues before the lame-duck Congress.

FAQS About Police Brutality, Abuse & Excessive Force
Can I sue for emotional damages for excessive force used during an arrest?
If you have been a victim of police brutality and suffered a serious injury you may be able to sue to recover damages for your injuries. However, what constitutes police brutality in one situation may not necessarily be considered police brutality in another situation. And, as can be seen in the news footage (below, right), police will attempt to minimize, justify and defend their actions as being appropriate.
Police are allowed to use reasonable and necessary force when making an arrest or handling a suspect. If a suspect uses a weapon, fights back, or attempts escape, police may be able to argue additional force was necessary to make an arrest. If a person does not resist arrest but is still tazered, pepper sprayed, or otherwise physically assaulted by police, then the force might be considered unnecessary and excessive.
The above news video shows a Sacramento, CA man, John Compagne, handcuffed and in custody in January 2009. An officer in a holding cell slams his head into the wall knocking him unconscious. After reviewing the video, Sheriff John McGinness agreed that excessive force was used but defends the officer (who was disciplined) stating "there was never any intent to hurt Compagne," and argued that the "suspect provoked the response," calling the incident "unacceptable, but explainable."
Law enforcement officials have lawyers trying to prove you were to blame for your injuries, or force used was necessary and reasonable. You need a skilled civil rights attorney to get the facts of your case.
If you suffered an injury resulting from police brutality or excessive force, you need expert legal representation. Our attorneys have a solid track record for successfully settling and litigating a variety of civil rights abuse lawsuits.
Call our Beverly Hills, CA office at (310) 275-9131 or our office in Santa Barbara at (805) 962-0099.
How much money can I get for damages for pain and suffering / emotional distress?
Damages for emotional distress/pain and suffering are damages (financial compensation) awarded beyond reimbursement for actual expenses. These types of damages are sometimes awarded as a way of financially punishing a wrongdoer or to send a message to others certain acts will not be tolerated by society.
The amount of money you may be awarded for damages in a civil lawsuit depends on several things:
- The severity of injury or degree of wrongdoing;
- Proving negligence, or intentional wrongdoing;
- Maximum recovery amounts that may be determined by law; and
- How effectively your attorney develops and presents your case. [Our California Civil Rights Law Practice]
Emotional damages (sometimes also referred to as damages for pain and suffering) are known as "torts" in the legal profession. In the case of physical injury or a wrongful death, a tort may exist if a negligent or intentional act of another results in injury or death to another person.
Torts are considered civil wrongs as a opposed to criminal acts, but for some crimes (like battery) a person may face both civil and criminal penalties.
Free Civil Rights Legal Consultation with Police Brutality Attorney
Because injuries can heal quickly, it is important that you contact us as soon as possible. We can help you properly document the extent of your injuries and ensure valuable evidence is preserved.
We offer a free consultation to help you understand your civil rights and the value of your case. You can contact us through our website, or call our Beverly Hills, CA office at (310) 275-9131.
Use of Excessive Force / Policy Brutality is a Civil Rights Violation
Law enforcement, including police officers, detectives, sheriffs, deputies, and security guards are not permitted to act with excessive force. The use of excessive force is a direct violation of the civil rights under Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution regarding cruelty and protection of citizens.

I have found a fossil at Ruswick Bay, North Yorkshire, 200m West of Kettleness and 3m from the base of the cliff.
The photos of the fossil are as-found (no cleaning was necessary), and was found alongside Bellonites and Ammonites.
I would like to know if this is a lobster or crab, and what possible age this could be?
Thank you.
I´m sorry but I think this is not a fossil but an oddly shaped concretion.
Age should be round the 190 million years...
I would classify this find more precisely as "Kentucky Fried Chicken Concretion"...
Funny find!

Virgin Queen is the sequel to Here I Stand, another card-driven game of grand strategy that covered the previous forty years (from Martin Luther's posting of his 95 Theses in 1517 through the abdication of Charles V in 1556). Players familiar with Here I Stand will find much that is familiar in Virgin Queen: over half of the rulebook remains unchanged. New game systems have been put in place to emphasize the changing nature of the conflicts here in the late 16th Century:
* Religion: Streamlined from Here I Stand, the new rules for religious conversion and rebellion allow actions to be resolved quickly, reflecting the already entrenched presence of both Catholic and Protestant factions across the key areas of religious struggle.
* World Map: Oceanic expeditions are now under direct player control as they sail to the Caribbean and beyond to seize plunder, found colonies, and attempt to circumnavigate the globe.
* Diplomatic Influence: Alliances with minor powers (and major powers that can be activated in games with less than 6 players) are now made through a unified system where players buy influence at each of these foreign courts.
* Weddings: Here I Stand's secret negotiation phase is still present here in Virgin Queen, but with a new twist. Now you will want to arrange marriages for each of the princes and princesses of your family dynasty with a suitable foreign royal. Will even the Virgin Queen succumb to love and take a husband, or will she jilt that suitor at the last minute once again?
* Patronage: Your royal court will be visited by artists, writers, scientists, and architects, who all want you to invest in their endeavors for the glory and advancement of the realm. Will you sponsor Galileo, Cervantes, or Shakespeare or instead spend your treasury on a fruitless quest for the Philosopher's Stone?
* Espionage: Beware, there is also a dark side to this period -- a time of espionage and spymasters. In Virgin Queen you can ask your ambassadors to spy on foreign courts, send out handgun-armed assassins, invest in cryptology, and even recruit Jesuit priests for undercover missions of conversion.
There are several different scenarios included allowing your play sessions to be tailored to the number of players and time available:
* 2-Player Tutorial: Great for new players just learning the series, this 90-minute game pits the Ottomans against Spain during the time of the Siege of Malta and Battle of Lepanto. Uses a subset of the full rules so you can dive in quickly.
* Campaign Scenario: The full Virgin Queen experience, this 8-hour game can last up to 7 turns and is normally played with from 4 to 6 players. Variant rules allow you to play with just 2 or 3 players if desired.
* Armada Scenario: A quicker game focused on Turns 3 to 6 of the full campaign, this 4 to 5-hour game is ideal for tournament play. Once again supports from 4 to 6 players.
* Game Map: one 22" x 34"
* Counter Sheets: 4 full and 1 half
* 112 Strategy Cards
* 22 Royal Cards
* 44-Page Rulebook
* 32-Page Scenario Book
* Six 8.5" x 5.5" Power Cards
* Four Off-Map Displays (Diplomacy, Patronage, Victory, World Map)

A firemen's pole or sliding pole or firepole is a wooden pole or a metal tube or pipe installed between floors in fire stations, allowing personnel to quickly descend to the ground floor in the event of a dispatch.
The device was invented in the 1870s by Chicago, Illinois resident David Kenyon, although it is often incorrectly credited to the Boston Fire Department.
Firefighters usually remain above the ground floor of fire stations until they receive a call for help, after which they have to move down as quickly as possible. Until 1878, spiral staircases or sliding chutes were common, but not particularly fast. The firemen's pole allows firefighters to move down much more quickly than before, although it is not suitable for climbing up. The pole is attached to the ground floor, goes through a hole in the ceiling, and is attached as well to the ceiling of the floor above. In order to use a pole, a firefighter must put his/her arms around the pole, step into the hole, and use his/her legs to control the speed of the descent, somewhat similar to the technique used for abseiling.
David Kenyon of Chicago's Engine Company No. 21 worked in a three-story fire station; the ground floor containing the firefighting equipment, the floor above being the floor for recreation and sleeping, and the top floor being the hayloft which was used to store the winter supply of hay. During transport, the hay was secured to a wagon using a wooden binding pole, which was stored in the hayloft when not in use. Firefighter George Reid slid down the pole to respond to a call for help once, which inspired Captain David Kenyon to create a permanent pole.
In 1878 he convinced the Chief of Department to make the necessary hole in the building and install the pole, after agreeing to pay for any necessary maintenance. The Company crafted a pole out of a Georgia pine beam by shaving and sanding it into a 3" diameter pole which they gave several coats of varnish and a coat of paraffin.
After being the target of many jokes, people realised Company 21 was usually the first company to arrive when called, especially at night, and the Chief of Department ordered the poles to be installed in all Chicago fire stations. In 1880 the first brass pole was installed in the Boston Fire Department, and the poles become standard equipment all over the United States.
Fire houses were equipped with the brass pole and spiral staircases so the horses would not try to climb the stairs into the living quarters. Spiral staircases were difficult to descend and relatively slow when moving many men down to the wagons. The slide pole was a much more efficient way to move them quickly downstairs. Tradition, which the fire service thrives upon, is why there are still some in existence.
The National Fire Protection Association has called for the removal of all poles from fire stations, due to hazards, and in many cases fire stations now have only one floor, so no pole is even needed. Poles are now relatively scarce in the United States.
In New Zealand it is the policy of the New Zealand Fire Service that poles, where installed, should not be used, and that no newly constructed stations are to have them. As a result most new fire stations are designed and built on a single level. In some older stations, particularly historic ones built on three levels, firefighters on the top floor will still use the pole because of the significant delay associated with taking the stairs due to the station's layout.
The firemen's pole is also a popular object in other areas, such as strip clubs. Children's playgrounds can have small poles. Popular films, including Ghostbusters and Bridget Jones's Diary feature them, as well as the Batman 1960s TV series, where they appear in Batman's Wayne Manor as access to the Batcave.
They are also major gameplay elements in some video games, including Montezuma's Revenge and the second Commander Keen trilogy.
The same mechanism is also used by the military to quickly descend from helicopters, known as fast-roping, not to be confused with rappelling.
In Korean sitcom of High Kick!, Lee Min Yong's room, which is a modified storeroom, is connected with the rest of the house by the fireman's pole.

Louisiana's Senate Education Committee advanced a revised $3.6 billion school funding formula Thursday morning (May 15) after turning down a previous proposal brought forward by Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education two weeks ago.
The committee's chairman, state Sen. Conrad Appel, R-Metairie, had rejected state school board's first formula because it included a provision that would have automatically hiked Louisiana's spending for schools in the years to come. The second, approved proposal didn't include such a measure.
The state school board is required to put together a school funding formula, referred to as the "minimum foundation program," based on what it will take to provide an adequate education to each public school child in the state. The Legislature is allowed to accept or reject the plan wholesale, but can't revise it.

Program Extensions
Although an F-1 student is admitted to the United States for "duration of status" to complete an educational program, the student must actually complete his/her program before the program completion date indicated on the I-20 or DS-2019 form. If the student will not complete the academic program by that date, he/she must apply for a program extension.
Extension Qualifications
Valid Extension Reasons
Delays caused by academic probation or suspension are not acceptable reasons for program extension.
A student who fails to complete his or her program within the time prescribed and who cannot meet the eligibility criteria for program extension is considered "out of status" and must apply for reinstatement to student status.
Make an appointment with an immigration adviser at the International Student Office for program extension. Bring the following items to your appointment:

The Brown shield bug or Brown stink bug is not commonly found in cotton. The habits of these bugs are not well known but they mainly feed on a range of grasses, bean crops and lucerne.
Identification: Adult bugs are shield shaped, matt brown and 7-8mm long. Newly hatched nymphs are orange with dark markings and a black head. As they grow they change colour to have a pale brown abdomen with transverse dark and pale markings at its centre.
May be confused with: The pest may be easily confused with the Glossy shield bug, a beneficial insect. The main distinguishing features of the Brown shield bug are the matt brown surface, shorter head and smaller eyes. Newly hatched nymphs are very similar in appearance to other shield bug nymphs until they grow and change colour.
Lifecycle: Pale cream eggs are laid in twin row rafts. There are 5 nymphal stages. Usually only one generation will develop per summer legume crop.
Damage: It has been shown that the Brown shield bug causes the least amount of damage of all bugs in the 'stinkbug' complex, causing just ¼ of the damage caused by a Green vegetable bug.
Monitoring: The most effective way to check for the Brown shield bug is with a beat sheet. Populations are usually very patchy, so it is important that checking is carried out in as many sites across the field as possible.

President Obama Finally Speaks On Trayvon Martin Case: "If I Had A Son; He'd Look Like Trayvon"
While announcing Dartmouth President Jim Kim as his pick to head the World Bank, President Obama decides to answer one question. It so happens the subject of that one question is Trayvon Martin. President Obama has been reluctant to weigh in due to his position as President, but how can you not have a moral opinion regarding this case. It's much bigger than beer-gate. Even Newt Gingrich calls the case in Sandford, FL a tragedy. So I don't know what has changed *whispers politics*, but I'm happy President Obama isn't afraid to speak on behalf of the real victim, Trayvon Martin:
Obviously, this is a tragedy. I can only imagine what these parents are going through, and when I think about this boy, I think about my own kids, and I think every parent in America should be able to understand why it is absolutely imperative that we investigate every aspect of this, and that everybody pulls together — federal, state and local — to figure out exactly how this tragedy happened.

Basketball Wives Sneak Peek After The Cluth Fight
I still haven't figure out why Evelyn is so mad at Jen. Evelyn keeps saying watch the show, and the truth will be revealed, but at this point, I've seen Evelyn do more dirt to Jennifer and do not understand why Jennifer would want to be friends with Evelyn in the first place. I get Evelyn feels like Jennifer has gotten some new friends and is acting extra, but with old friends like Evelyn and Nia, I would run, too. Perhaps Jennifer's new friends are more encouraging and don't sneak and hit Jen in the head with their clutch when they are mad. They probably don't threaten to reveal all of Jen's secrets on twitter, either, or on the blogs for that matter. I will keep watching, but at this point, it doesn't seem like Jennifer is the bad friend. Anyway that's my opinion, and here's the sneak peek of next week's episode (after the "clutch fight" at Shaunie's birthday party).
Watch the video when you continue…At this point Evelyn has done too much to hurt Jen publicly…what "friend" put their hands on you like that over some words?Read More
Ray J Wants You To Know…He Did NOT Harm Whitney Houston!!!
Ray J wants you to know he was in NO way involved in the death of Whitney Houston. Bobby Brown's sister, Leolah Brown , names Ray J as Whitney's connection to drugs during an interview with Dr. Drew. She basically accuses Ray J of killing Whitney Houston. Leolah Brown also claims Ray J was at the hotel that morning, although his team says he was in San Diego and no where near the hotel room in Los Angeles on that fatal day. This is the second person from Whitney's camp that believes Ray J was a bad influence on the singer. Whitney's best friend and sister-in-law, Pat Houston, suggested something similar during an interview with Oprah. However, Leolah Brown and the Brown family do not have the best reputation when it comes to facts about Whitney or having Whitney's best interest. After all, they did sell those infamous bathroom pics to the National Enquirer. So anything they say about Whitney should be taken with a grain of salt. Bottom Feeders!
In order to clear his name, Ray J's publicist wants you to know the accusations are false. Here is the statement sent to us with a message that reads "VERY URGENT":Read More
Friday Funnies: Kim Kardashian Gets Hit With Flour Bomb
I swear, Fridays bring out the crazies. According to the Daily Mail, last night Kim Kardashian was at an event to launch her new perfume, True Reflection, when an unidentified Asian woman launched a white substance-filled bomb at Kim.
And she got a direct hit!! The woman was escorted away by the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department and the fire department later determined that the substance was regular all-purpose flour. To her credit, Kim just simply walked off with her staff, where I'm sure they cleaned her up. Good thing it was simple flour and not anything dangerous. Check out the aftermath photo PLUS a video of the incident, when you continue…Read More

HAMPTON, Va. – Junior quarterback Ricky Santos (Bellingham, Mass.) passed for 315 yards and five touchdowns to lead the No. 9 ranked University of New Hampshire football team to a 41-38 win at No. 8 Hampton University on Saturday afternoon at Armstrong Stadium in NCAA Division I Championship first round playoff game.
The Wildcats improve to 9-3 overall with the victory, while Hampton ends its season at 10-2. UNH is the first team in Atlantic 10 history to advance to the quarterfinals for the third straight season.
The Wildcat defense stood up on the Pirates last full possession as Marvin Wright (Roxbury, Mass.) sacked Princeton Shepherd with 1:38 left to play.
With 6:55 remaining in the game, UNH came up with the biggest play of the contest as the Wildcats faked a punt on fourth down, snapped directly to Evan Loring (Chocorua, NH.), and then he pitched the ball left to Maurice Duper (Baldwinsville, N.Y.) who ran 19 yards for the first down to keep the drive alive for the Wildcats. UNH capitalized on the drive to take a 41-38 lead with 4:40 remaining on a 25-yard TD pass to Chad Kackert (Simi Valley, Calif.) from Santos. With that score Santos tied a career-high with five passing touchdowns in the game.
"We had looked at their return and a couple times we were going call it and I just didn't feel it. If we were going to do it, we were doing it now. The play was supposed to go right and Loring audibled left. I said go green and he went in. We had this in place all year and we never used it," said UNH head coach Sean McDonell.
"These were two very good football teams, both offenses came into the game in high regard and they both played well. I have to give their defense lots of credit in the second half, we got lucky and executed a fake and made a play there.
UNH turned the ball over for the second time in the contest with 11 minutes left in the game when the offense fumbled and Derious Swinton recovered on the Wildcat 19 yard line. Andrew Paterni hit a 43-yard field goal with 8:59 left to give the Pirates a 38-34 lead.
Shepherd scored on a six-yard TD run with 8:12 left in the third quarter to get Hampton within six points at 34-28. Swinton intercepted a Santos pass with 2:31 remaining in the third quarter to give the Pirates the ball on the UNH 23-yard line. Hampton then regained the lead at 35-34 on a six-yard pass from Shepherd to Marquay Daniels. The Pirates only needed five plays to punch it in the end zone.
The 'Cats went into the locker room with a 34-21 lead. UNH scored on five of nine possessions in the first half, including two of its first three to start the half. Bobby Simpson (Brockton, Mass.) scored his fifth touchdown on the season on a two-yard TD run to end the first half. Santos threw for 220 yards on 19 of 26 passing with four TD passes. He eclipsed the 10,000 yard mark with his passing total in the first half, while Ball went over 1,000 yards receiving for the third straight year. LeVan caught eight balls in the first half for an impressive 93 yards.
"They (offensive line) did an outstanding job of giving me time at the end of the game, especially after their defense had gotten to me a couple of times. Our receivers did a great job all day and I think they had their best game of the year. You have to threat the needle and we did what we needed to do as an offense to win this game. He (David Ball) is the best decoy in the nation, he was a key contributor into making that play happen," said Santos.
The 'Cats regained the lead at 27-21 on another strike from Santos to Ball, a seven-yard TD with 6:44 left in the second frame. UNH outscored Hampton 21-0 in the second quarter. Ball has scored 13 TD's in his senior season in 2006.
UNH got back on the board with 11:39 left in the second quarter on a 15-yard passing strike from Santos to Ball. The score cut Hampton's lead to one point, 21-20.
The Pirates scored on a 65-yard touchdown run by Alonzo Coleman with 5:19 left in the opening quarter to take a 14-13 lead. Kevin Beverly then gave HU a 21-13 lead on a four-yard TD run with 12 seconds left in the opening quarter. The Pirates drove 10 plays for 8-0 yards in three minutes and 10 seconds.
J.E. Fredrickson (Palm Beach, Fla.) blocked a punt by Hampton to get the Wildcats back on offense at the Pirates' 28 yard line. It took the 'Cats three tries to give UNH a 13-7 lead on a 25-yard TD pass from Santos to Keith LeVan (Waltham, Mass.). Manning's point after attempt was blocked by a Pirates defender.
Hampton tied the game, 7-7 with 10:03 remaining in the first quarter on a four-yard pass from Shepherd to Marquay Daniel. The Pirates started their first offensive series on UNH's 22 yard line after a 69-yard kickoff return by Kevin Teel.
On the first series of the game, UNH marched down the field in eight plays and 75 yards consuming only 2:27 to give the Wildcats a 7-0 lead. Santos completed three passes for 51 yards in the 'Cats first offensive series. Aaron Brown (Central Square, N.Y.) caught a 1-yard touchdown pass from Santos with 12:22 remaining in the opening quarter.
The UNH football team advances to the NCAA quarterfinals to face the University of Massachusetts on Saturday, Dec. 2nd at Warren McGuirk Stadium in Amherst, Mass at 2:30 p.m.
