BlogHer Original Post
How it works: Submissions will remain open from today, February 14th, 2012, until 5pm Pacific, April 30th, 2012. You can nominate as many posts as you like during that time, and you can also give one thumb's up to previously-nominated posts.(There is a one thumb's up limit per post, per voter).
Shortly after April 30th, submissions go to the category judges, who will carefully review each and every one. Once the judges have worked their magic, the executive committee takes over, finalizing the selections. This year's executive committee includes Elisa Camahort Page, Lisa Stone, Jory Des Jardins, Polly Pagenhart, myself (Shannon Carroll), and the beautiful mind that started it all, Eden Kennedy of Fussy.org.
The final selections for the '12 Voices of the Year Community Keynote will be announced on May 31, 2012, on BlogHer.com. Afraid you'll forget to check? Subscribe to our conference newsletters or our Conference RSS Feed so you don't miss a beat!
Key points to remember:
• You must be logged in to nominate or vote for Voices of the Year.
• You can nominate as many posts as you like, either you own work or that of another person.
• Only one vote (thumbs-up) per post, per voter.
• Past presenters are ineligible to present again, but may be chosen as honorees.
• You must be a registered BlogHer '12 attendee to be selected as a presenter.
• Any submission may contain audio, video, or photographic aspects. The visuals category is primarily for submissions that cannot be read aloud, and every category will accept submissions that contain visual elements.

C'mon Joey. Big fly. Here. Now.
Teach tolerance.
SMH. 10 pitches.
Yes that was a very impressive infield single. I thought for a second it was leaving the yard. - texasdave 10/13/12
How many walk off homers for Joey. One that I can think of.
Are they just gonna walk him? Why bother changing the pitcher, then?
He didn't get anything to hit there.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

The lefty in to walk Votto gambit.
Teach tolerance.
Bring in a lefty to walk Votto on 4 pitches. Interesting.
Geesh, we could have used Izturis if we wanted a walk
Catcher HUSTLING out there to talk to the pitcher
If evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve!
Blitz Dorsey (06-14-2013)
And now Choo not seeing anything hittable so far...

Yep. Another top ten. And this time we've asked around a little and actually done some real research and here is what we've come up with. The best places to shag in Whistler in terms of locale radness, risk of being caught and maybe a few GNAR points.
10. The Stu Inn – top of the Khyber – a cramped hut at the top of one of the more epic ski runs off Whistler's boundary. Do it on a pow morning for a little extra heat.
9. The Peak Patrol Shack – On those days when the peak chair is shut but the signlines are open. Nothing like some sex before dropping into the Couloir
8. Top of the Chimney Boot Pack on Blackcomb – Quiet place, good boulder to lean on and several unmentionable lines to drop into right after getting off.
7. A suite at the Four Seasons – this requires picking up a rich MILF at Bill's on a Saturday night. The Four Seasons rooms are heaven on earth
6. A Toyota Tacoma in the Day Lots – How much more hardcore dirtbag skier can you get?
5. The Peak to Peak Gondola – As high a Gnar factor as it gets. Bonus for doing it over the glass floored cabins.
4. The nudie dock at Lost Lake – warm summer day, glass of wine…does it get any better?
3. In a snowcat, at night – this might require getting to know one of the groomers REALLY, REALLY well.
2. In any hotel pool and or hot tub you've poached – the locals' favourite nocturnal activity
1. The Whistler Village Gondola. Day time, night time, whenever. The view is awesome, especially on a night time download.
Be safe and ski hard
It's a bit silly to have that kind of post but unofficial is about what skiing is all about and I think that skiing and shagging go hand in hand !
… and JS. you forgot about the triple crown (the three gondolas in one day with the peak to peak bonus).
for the people that are having a go for the person posting this article. It says everything in the title, if you're only interested in serious skiing don't click on it! don'y click on it and have a go at people posting pointless stories, you're just being negative
Jake Cohn
But please do click on them!
Tommy Tailgunner
As a N.Tahoe groomer for close to 20 years. I've had sex in a few snowcats. Of course my wife would deny it.
seriously dude i only clicked on this to comment. You are filling this site with weak and irrelevant information. please spend more time on the hill being a skier rather than trying to write about pointless shit. then you might understand what this site is actually for.
Joe Skier
Maybe I'll do a gopro video of me wanking on the gondola. I can send you the first cut, if you like. Just so you can screen it for me.
Dirk Diggler
You contribute nothing to this site JS. Go have a wank in the gondola

Being a Colombian, I grew up hearing of Márquez's writing. To say Colombians consider him to be their greatest literary figure is not an understatement. But it wasn't until I read his work for myself, that I owned the religion of Señor Marquez, rather than just inheriting it.
Esteemed Colombian author, beloved father and husband, and seasoned journalist Gabriel García Márquez died at his home in Mexico City on Thursday at...

2000 Volvo C70 Q&A
2000 Volvo C70 Question: need to know where solenoid is located on 2000C70turbo.trying 2 pass emission
I am a female please help me.I need more direction to point me to the solenoid that falls up under the code P0455 so that I can pass emission test - bobbyn
2 Answers
Answer 2
Customer Concern: Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is on. Trouble code P0455. Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP) major leak code. Has checked the gas cap and it is good. Tests/Procedures: 1. At the purge valve, remove the hose going underneath the vehicle. With a smoke machine apply smoke to that line. 2. There will be a leak through the vent valve. To eliminate this, either apply power and ground to the vent valve, or just block off the hose at the tank filler neck (after the vent filter). 3. Check for any leaks. 4. If no leaks are found, check the purge valve for leaking by running the engine at idle, disconnecting the connector and feeling for any vacuum leakage through that valve. Apply power and ground that valve and keep checking for vacuum loss when there is no power and ground at the valve to check for an intermittent failure. Tech Tips: It may be a good idea to clear the code and see if it comes back before getting too deep into troubleshooting, or run a fuel system quick test with a scan tool to see if it is a permanent or intermittent problem. Some leaks have been found where the hard plastic hose goes around the sub frame or where it goes between the sub frame and steering rack. Intermittent failures of the purge valve also have been found. Unless you have a smoke machine it will be diificult to fix. Take it to a qualified repair shop. - PARTS GUY

Fewer than 10 percent of the immigration quotas from Europe were used from 1942 to 1945.In many ways, the country was still fearful of the influence of foreign-born people.

Jana Gana Mana (Bengali: জন গণ মন, Jôno Gôno Mono) is the national anthem of India.
Written in highly Sanskritized Bengali, it is the first of five stanzas of a Brahmo hymn composed and scored by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. It was first sung at the Calcutta Session of the Indian National Congress on 27 December 1911. Jana Gana Mana was officially adopted by the Constituent Assembly as the Indian national anthem on January 24, 1950. An earlier poem by Tagore (Amar Shonar Bangla) was later selected as the national anthem of Bangladesh. A formal rendition of the national anthem takes fifty-two seconds.

Inspired dishes that cater for every course and every cuisine...
Forager's jelly
Put the berries, damsons and lemon juice, pips and flesh in a preserving pan with just enough water to cover the fruit. Put the lid half on the top and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 1 hour until the fruit is soft. Check to make sure it doesn't over-boil. Using a potato masher, press the fruits gently
Mirabelle and saffron conserve
Put a cut in the side of each plum and put in a large pan with 225ml water. Cover and cook on a moderate heat until the plums are soft and splitting. Fish out as many stones as possible. Add the sugar and saffron and dissolve over a low heat. Increase the heat, and boil for 20 minutes, until it reaches 150�
Chinese plum sauce
Put all the ingredients together with 100ml water in a noncorrosive pan and bring to a simmer. Let the mixture gently bubble for 1½ hours, checking occasionally to make sure it doesn't stick to the pan's bottom.

Blog Entry
Pepper: Greinke's new home, Phillies, more
Posted on: May 9, 2011 10:28 am
Edited on: May 9, 2011 11:27 am
By Matt Snyder
ADJUSTMENT PERIOD OVER: Carl Crawford just needed a little patience. After a catastrophic beginning to his career in Boston, the speedy left fielder is swinging a hot bat in May. For the month, he's hitting .387 with two doubles and a triple. He's been hitting eighth in the batting order and manager Terry Francona had said that the Red Sox big offseason signing would move back up toward the top of the order when he started hitting. So does the current run suffice? Not quite yet.
"If you move one guy, somebody else goes, too," Francona said (Boston Herald ). "I think there will be a time when it seems to me that it works for everybody that I would like to do that. He's swinging the bat better, which is good. But it also has to work with everybody else, too."
The Red Sox currently have Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia, Adrian Gonzalez and Kevin Youkilis in the 1-2-3 spots. There really doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that set up, so Francona has a point. Or maybe insert Crawford at the two-hole and knock everyone back a slot? There's probably no wrong answer.
BEEN THERE, DONE THAT: Alexi Ogando is suffering through a blister on his pitching hand (the index finger), which was the reason he missed Sunday's scheduled start. Fortunately he pitches for the Rangers, because team president Nolan Ryan dealt with the same issue back when he was a youngster for the Mets. Ryan's been helping Ogando use some remedies that helped him, such as shaving the blister so it dries out and rubbing pickle juice on it. While we're here, just to stave off the crowd of athlete-haters, a blister isn't a pain issue for pitchers. It's a matter of affecting command. (Star-Telegram.com )
FIVES ARE WILD: Apropos of absolutely nothing at all, every single American League game Sunday ended with one team having scored five runs. It was the first time a league had every game with one team scoring the same run total since August 10, 1993 when it happened in the NL. It doesn't mean anything, obviously, but it's a quasi-interesting little anomaly. (Hardball Talk )
FIRST IMPRESSION: Phenom Julio Teheran debuted Saturday for the Braves against the Phillies -- in Philadelphia, no less, which isn't exactly an easy place for opposing pitchers -- He only made it through 4 2/3 innings, giving up four hits, three earned runs and two walks while only striking out one. Still, it wasn't an awful debut. The kid is 20. Braves' skipper Fredi Gonzalez made sure to let Teheran he was pleased with the effort. "I wanted to make sure he told him that he did good and that he was impressive and that we liked the way he handled himself," Gonzalez said. "We told him that last night. But we wanted to make sure they told him again." (MLB.com )
LONEY WAKING UP: Judging from what I've seen on Twitter and message boards, James Loney is the most-maligned person affiliated with the Dodgers not named McCourt. It's easy to see why, as he's flashed the power of a sub-par middle infielder while playing a traditional power position for the past several years. But he is starting to swing the bat better. He's hitting .382 in his past 11 games, helping his season batting average to rise 56 points. (LA Times ) Then again, he hasn't had a single extra-base hit in that span. Don't expect the chirping to stop any time soon.
AUSTIN, TOO: It's been a rough 2011 for Tigers second-year center fielder Austin Jackson. He entered the weekend hitting .190 with a .258 OBP and 43 strikeouts in 121 at-bats. Don't count out the 24 year old just yet, though, because he showed signs of life in a three-game series at Toronto. He went 7-13 for a double, home run, two RBI and two runs, raising his average 34 points. "He is gradually coming back," manager Jim Leyland said. "When he puts it in play, he gets hits. When he put the ball in play last year he had a fantastic batting average." (Detroit Free Press )
NO SALE: Chris Sale, a 22-year-old flamethrower for the White Sox, burst onto the scene last season and looked dominant. He threw only 23 1/3 innings, but struck out 32 hitters en route to posting a 1.93 ERA. This year, he's only thrown 11 1/3 innings, but has allowed the exact same number of hits (15), more earned runs (nine, compared to five last year) and more home runs (three, compared to two last year). His ERA is a grotesque 7.15. His fastball velocity is down, which could be part of the problem, but Sale isn't buying that. "My main focus is not about lighting up the radar gun,'' he said. "Everybody in this league can hit 98. That's no secret. It's a matter of where the pitch is, not how hard it is. I'm just trying to get back into a rhythm and figure out what's the reason behind what's going on." Everyone in the league can hit 98? Brandon Webb begs to differ. And someone get Greg Maddux on the phone ... though Maddux would most certainly agree with Sale's general point, which is that there's more to pitching than throwing hard. (Chicago Sun Times )
FOR REAL FRENCHY? Another season, another discussion of how good/bad Jeff Francoeur is. This time he's off to a hot start, so Fangraphs checks it out . The highlights are that his home runs per fly ball rate is unsustainable, but that Francoeur is swinging at far fewer pitches this season than in years past -- so the plate discipline improvement could propel him to one of his best seasons.
HOME COOKIN': Anibal Sanchez was one of the pitching stars of Mother's Day, as he took a no-hitter into the seventh and ended up with a career-high 11 strikeouts. So, of course, this was somehow due to his mom. "She made me breakfast this morning, so that's why I threw a game like that," Sanchez told reporters after the game.
QUADRUPLE-A: Taylor Teagarden hit three home runs and drove home seven in his return to Triple-A Sunday. That means in just seven Triple-A games this year, he has five bombs and 11 RBI. His last full season in the minors -- all the way back in 2007, Teagarden hit .310 with 27 home runs and 83 RBI. But in the majors, well, that's a different story. We know he has power. He has hit 16 home runs in 320 major-league at-bats, but he's also struck out 130 times and has a putrid .285 on-base percentage. Hey, maybe the Rangers can trade him to the Red Sox, just like they did Jarrod Saltalamacchia, another AAAA player.

One-stop shopping for healthy food and nutrition education
"This is a perfect example of what can happen when multiple levels of government and community organizations work together," said Luis Chavez, a member of the Fresno County School Board. "This is a model that we hope to expand across the city."
UC CalFresh, part of UC ANR Cooperative Extension, provides regular produce sampling and education in classrooms to encourage children to eat fruits and vegetables. UC ANR's Shelby MacNab, UC CalFresh program manager in Fresno, said the program is also committed to increasing access to fresh produce in the communities it serves. UC CalFresh staff will stand alongside the farm stand each Thursday to reinforce the nutrition lessons and offer nutrition class sign-ups to families.
"We are absolutely delighted to support the farm stand by providing nutrition education. Pairing greater access to fresh fruits and vegetables with nutrition education is an essential combination for transforming the health of our community," MacNab said.
On May 14, the school launched the program for 2015 with fresh cherries, oranges, jujubes, squash, green onions and baby bok choy. The produce came straight from the 10-acre Reedley farm of May Vu. The low-cost fruit and vegetables can be purchased with cash or CalFresh benefits (formerly called food stamps).
The farmer connection was facilitated by John Thao, project manager with the National Hmong American Farmers Association, another partner in the food stand effort.
"We're working to sustain the economic development of small-scale farmers," he said.
For the community around the school, the farm stand addresses the woefully inadequate grocery shopping options. Liquor stores and fast food restaurants abound. A supermarket that stood at a nearby intersection for decades is now closed.
"We want to make the healthy choice the easy choice," said Genoveva Islas, executive director of Cultiva la Salud, one of the community organizations involved in the partnership.
Theresa Calderon, principal of Vang Pao Elementary School, said the after school farm stand is popular with the students.
"The students bring a dollar and buy cherries, strawberries, whatever is in season, rather than going to the corner store and buying a slurpee and bag of cheetoes," she said "It's what's best for the students."
An initiative to maintain and enhance healthy families and communities is part of the UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources Strategic Vision 2025.

'Local' farm inspiration from half a world away
Farm advisors: They're the local hand on the long arm of the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR). They apply cutting-edge research to problems facing their farming neighbors, often adapting practices and research results to local conditions. UC ANR Cooperative Extension advisors provide locally adapted science to local farmers.
So it might come as a surprise that some farm advisors got their start in agriculture nowhere near their backyards or their neighbor's fields. In fact, more than a few farm advisors fell in love with helping farmers while they were overseas.
Mark Lundy, for example. As the UCCE agronomy advisor in Colusa, Sutter and Yuba counties, Lundy works with farmers on field crops such as tomatoes, alfalfa, wheat, sunflower, beans, and an assortment of other vegetable crops. At a recent meeting for tomato growers, he presented about tools that might help farmers better apply fertilizers, with sensors adjusting recommendations for each individual field. Does it get more "local" than that?
But as a UC Davis grad student, Lundy traveled to Malawi for a few weeks to help extension agents there teach farmers modern tomato-growing practices — as part of a Trellis project with the Horticulture Innovation Lab.
Lundy wrote about his experience in Malawi recently on the Feed the Future website. He describes setting out, eager to put "book learning" to practical use, and eventually realizing how valuable local knowledge can be for agriculture. While in Malawi, Lundy worked with a local agronomist named Chimwemwe:
"Seeing Chimwemwe's extension program in action underscored to me that agriculture is simultaneously (even paradoxically) a global and a local enterprise. Many of the fundamentals of cropping systems do apply broadly across diverse agricultural landscapes, which is what permitted the productive conversations and collaboration between us. Nevertheless, there is no substitute for a nuanced understanding of the particular contours and constraints of any given region or farm."
Though Lundy had years of formal education in agronomy, he witnessed how Chimwemwe's relationships and local understanding made him a "sharper tool" when it came to helping local farmers.
"Observing Chimwemwe in action inspired me to leverage the regionally specific knowledge I had gained about California agriculture during my graduate education and try to become a similarly sharp tool in my own backyard," Lundy wrote.
You can read the rest of the article, "How a Global Trip Inspired this Californian to Focus Locally" on the website for Feed the Future, the U.S. government's global hunger and food security initiative. The initiative brings American ingenuity and expertise to bear in the global fight against hunger. Several agricultural research programs at UC Davis and UC Riverside fall under the banner of Feed the Future — including the Horticulture Innovation Lab, led by UCCE specialist Beth Mitcham.

Avoid 'race to the bottom' in seafood sustainability
As the global demand for seafood booms, major food retailers are promising that soon all of the fresh, frozen, farmed and wild seafood that they sell will come from sustainable sources. However, finding such sustainable sources to satisfy the global appetite for seafood is easier said than done.
While many of the sustainability standards have been met by commercial fisheries in the developed world, a major challenge exists in fisheries overseen by developing nations, which account for about half of all seafood entering the international market. Unfortunately, only 7 percent of the fisheries that have been fully certified by the Marine Stewardship Council for meeting sustainability standards are developing-nation fisheries.
An alternative mechanism for achieving both sustainability and increased seafood supply has been developed in the form of Fishery Improvement Projects, which aim to get fisheries on a path to sustainability and potentially certification by the MSC.
These improvement projects are partnerships between fishermen and firms up and down the international seafood supply chain. They are designed to offer developing-country fisheries access to the lucrative international export market in exchange for promises to improve sustainable fishing practices.
"It is hoped that the projects will protect marine life and ecosystems in areas where local and national governments have not acted to oversee sustainable practices, while also satisfying the demand for sustainable seafood," said Gabriel Sampson, UC Davis graduate student and lead author of the study.
In many cases, however, the fisheries are obtaining access to the international seafood markets without following through to make the required improvements in sustainability.
In a May 1 policy forum titled "Secure Sustainable Seafood from Developing Countries" in the journal Science, Sampson and colleagues conclude that Fishery Improvement Projects need to be fine tuned to ensure that fisheries are delivering on their promises for sustainability improvements. The related abstract and podcast are available online.
Such sustainable fishery management reforms should include data collection and ongoing monitoring, strengthening harvest and access rights to the resources, limits on the catch, and instituting traceability throughout the supply chain, the researchers say.
They predict that if access to the fisheries is not better regulated, the current efforts by retailers to secure sustainable, wild-caught seafood could stimulate a "race to fish," and those fisheries with full sustainability certification could find themselves at a competitive disadvantage compared to the fisheries that have been fast-tracked into the international market without having first made sustainability improvements.
And that could trigger a "race to the bottom" in terms of sustainable seafood fishing practices, they say.
"The retailers and organizations involved with managing fishery improvement projects need to insist on progress toward reforms from the fishery as a condition for purchasing seafood from that fishery," said James Sanchirico, a faculty member with the UC Agriculture and Natural Resources Ag Experiment Station, UC Davis professor and associate director of the UC Davis Coastal and Marine Sciences Institute.
"This would likely lead to more durable conservation and greater assurance for consumers that marketing claims of 'sustainable' seafood are valid," he said.
Hackathon movement connects consumers to food
On a Friday evening in a San Francisco conference room, food and technology leaders – including nutrition expert Carl Keen, a UC Davis professor affiliated with the UC Agriculture and Natural Resources Ag Experiment Station – spoke to a mixed audience on the need for innovation in adapting populations across the world to changing food systems.
In the crowd, one inspired undergraduate student from UC Davis thumbed together some notes on his phone. The next day he stood in front of everyone at the event – more than 250 in all – and pitched his newly formed idea for a nutrition app.
It drew a small team: a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, a UC Davis nutritionist and a UC Berkeley student. Over the next 40 hours they developed a software application that matches safe foods to patient medications. With the final presentations Sunday evening, the judges announced the winners.
Their project, called Took that? Eat this., won first place at the 2015 Food Hackathon. They now have sponsors and are developing their idea into a real consumer product. They are also flying out to the World Expo in Milan, Italy, in September – the first devoted to food and where an even larger food-themed hackathon will take place.
(Food Hackathon from FounderLY on Vimeo)
Breaking down the silos
"It's powerful how much happens in such a short period of time," says Bob Adams, innovation adviser for the UC Davis World Food Center and a mentor for the hackathon teams. "It was a great experience for all the UC Davis students who participated, because they don't normally interact in projects with students from other programs."
With nearly 9,000 total hours spent in developing the 18 different projects, the hackathon was declared by the organizers a success and a testament to the power of crowd sourcing.
A group of passionate techies, foodies, scholars, investors and entrepreneurs shut in a room for two days pushed them like never before to apply their diverse expertise toward tackling some of the biggest problems facing food and ag.
A university connecting ag and nutrition
Research and industry leaders are looking to this model as one way to seed California's innovation ecosystem across the state's agricultural horizons. As another example, Mars, Inc., which co-sponsored the hackathon, is investing in a new type of university-industry partnership with UC Davis and the World Food Center by establishing the Innovation Institute for Food and Health.
"All of us win from these new and needed collective investments in innovation in food, agriculture and health," writes Mars chief scientist Harold Schmitz in a recent Sacramento Bee op-ed.
Howard-Yana Shapiro, also a Mars chief scientist and a UC Davis fellow, sees innovative food technology projects like those crafted at the hackathon as this decade's biggest investment arena.
"The next, larger human generation will face food challenges ranging from climate change and water stress to growing demands for upmarket foods," he wrote in a LinkedIn article. "But from what I saw at the hackathon, the next generation is on it."

Q&A: UC ANR's Doug Parker talks drought
Recently, the UC Food Observer caught up with one of California's foremost experts on water: Doug Parker of the University of California. Parker is the director of the University of California's Institute for Water Resources. The mission of the institute is to integrate California's research, extension and education programs to develop research-based solutions to water resource challenges. The institute has recently launched a blog, The Confluence.
Prior to joining UC, Parker worked on water quality issues related to the Chesapeake Bay as an associate professor and extension specialist in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Maryland. An economist by training, he earned his Ph.D. in agricultural and resource economics at UC Berkeley, and was on faculty there as an extension specialist. He holds bachelor's degrees in economics and environmental studies from UC Santa Barbara.
Q: Governor Brown recently issued an executive order that will restrict urban water usage by 25 percent. How do you see this being enforced across the state? What might enforcement mechanisms look like?
A: The State Water Resources Control Board will set restrictions for each of the over 400 water districts that serve residential consumers in the next month. The 25 percent reduction is meant to be a statewide average for urban users, and the actual reductions will be based on per capita water consumption in 2013. So, areas that are already conserving water will not be asked to reduce as much as the largest water users, who will have to make bigger reductions.
To meet the reductions, individual water districts will each have to draft a plan of how they will bring consumers in their district into compliance. This may include restrictions on outdoor water use and pricing structures that greatly increase costs to large water users and monetary fines. In essence, the reductions are not solely aimed at individual users, but will be made by a combination of reductions by homeowners and industrial and commercial users.
In terms of enforcement, the State Board can fine water districts that are out of compliance up to $10,000 per day. Before fines are enforced, the board will engage the water district to try to help figure out how they can meet the goals.
Q: How much is this going to hurt the average person? What kinds of changes will individuals have to make?
A: The average person will most likely need to reduce outdoor water use, such as landscape watering, and increase conservation measures indoors as well. The easiest way to meet the water reductions is to reduce or eliminate outdoor watering. The governor's order calls for a voluntary, incentive-based program to remove 50 million square feet of turf. Many homeowners may want to consider replacing turf with drought tolerant landscaping. There will also be programs for water efficient appliances like dishwashers and clothes washing machines, and low-flow shower heads. In general, I don't see major changes for the average person, particularly if they've already been conserving and cut outdoor watering, but they will need to take action and be more mindful of their water use.
A: I find it rather disturbing that some people see this as an urban vs. agriculture issue. The California Constitution states that water belongs to the people of the state. It is our water to use for the benefit of all Californians. I myself am happy to be able to cut back on my water use so that it can be used to grow food. What greater use of water do we have? It is inconvenient and perhaps aesthetically unpleasing to have a brown lawn, but compared to food production and food insecurity, the impact on my own life seems pretty minor.
In addition to growing food, the agricultural sector supports jobs in many of our most needy communities. The agricultural water restrictions in 2014 were estimated to have cost the agricultural sector over 17,000 jobs and a loss of over $2 billion. We expect those numbers to increase in 2015.
In the urban sector the drought has had very little impact on jobs or income. In the landscaping industry it remains unclear what impact the drought is having or will have. Reductions in turf irrigation may reduce the need for mowing and other uses of labor. But an increase in turf removal and replacement with drought-tolerant landscaping will lead to an increase in landscaping expenditures and labor.
The thing that I try to keep in mind is that it's all of our water, and we're all in it together.
Q: What happens to California agriculture in the next few years? What might the industry look like 20 years from now? What kind of cropping patterns might we see?
A: I think agriculture will reassess their perception of how secure their water supply is. For those that are seeing large cuts in water allocations, future planting decisions may be more conservative. We may see a decrease in permanent crops to increase flexibility in response to water shortages, though this may be balanced by the fact that things like almonds continue to yield a high value and if you are already reducing crops, keeping the most valuable ones is a rational decision. We will continue to see increases in efficiency, whether through irrigation technology or management of irrigation. We will also see increased investment in surface and groundwater storage to increase resiliency.
Q: Historically, is this drought a bump in the road or a harbinger of things to come?
A: All droughts are a bumps in the road and all droughts eventually end. But, I think we are more used to the speed bump type of drought that slows us to 25 mph. This one is a bit more severe and we probably need to take it down to 5 mph and do some serious long-term planning. Climate models predict that we will see an increase in the frequency and severity of drought. We need to start preparing for this drought to last a few more years and for future droughts as well.
Q: What resources would you recommend people seek out for information on a practical level? What about resources for those who might want to dig deeper?
A: The University of California has many resources to help homeowners, businesses, landscapers and farmers adapt to the drought. Many of those resources can be found on our webpages.
Q: What policies do we need in California to make sure we are able to more effectively respond to these types of crises in the future? What kind of infrastructure would help us more effectively meet our water needs?
A: I think this drought has brought to light the critical importance of groundwater as a resource to lessen the impacts of drought. California passed historic groundwater legislation in 2014 that will ensure this resource is available to us in future droughts. We need to work now to implement this law as quickly as possible. The law's timeline is very generous but I believe that communities that work to accelerate the timeline will greatly benefit from such efforts.

A good arrhythmia is an irregular difference in the beating structure of the heart.
What Is Sinus Arrhythmia? A good arrhythmia is an irregular difference in the beating structure of the heart. Nose arrhythmia is what can be defined as your anxious state of the slowing down of the heart while breathing out or during expiry and increasing from the heart beat while inhaling or during motivation. This abnormality could prove to be dangerous of course, if remained uncured might as well resulted in the death of the patient. So if you ask. 'What is actually sinus arrhythmia?' you can also find other things too associated with it. However, a sinus arrhythmia certainly does not always mean that an individual is struggling with an unwarranted ailment, especially no heart disease as such. Many arrhythmias, specially arrhythmia is found to take place within people who do not have the least symptom or inkling from a heart disease. In most of the cases, even if the arrhythmia is found to exist alongside a coronary disease, it is in all probable possibility that the individual will likely die with the heart disease than from the arrhythmia, particularly sinus arrhythmia. And a word of extreme caution when you say,'What can be sinus arrhythmia?', which sinus bradycardia is not the just like sinus arrhythmia. The symptoms of both the forms of heart-beat troubles are divergent and the manifestations are different. Sinus arrhythmia influences the vagus nerve which can be responsible for activating the actual nervous system-triggered parasympathetic input which usually regulates the heart overcome. This systematic disappointment of the medulla oblongata results in the trouble which is termed as nasal arrhythmia. To put it in simple words, your vagus nerve is left unstimulated resulting in the wrong signals for the heart and the future decline in frequency of the heart rate. This is just what is sinus arrhythmia. Nasal arrhythmia is the most common type of arrhythmia that occurs in middle-aged grownups. With the advent of age, the conditions of arrhythmia boosts. The symptoms exuded include dizziness or light- headedness, feeling of breathlessness. Patients are almost sure their heart skipped a beat and a feeling of abnormal giddiness overcomes them. Such signs and symptoms are commonplace and should not be confused with the excellent cases that occur in the course of your lifetime. But if you see a pattern inside the irregularities, then the scenario demands immediate problem or attention. I think you will got your answer to those question, 'What is sinus arrhythmia?'

I applied through an employee referral – interviewed at Norfolk Southern.
Interview was very formal, there were 6 other candidates in room for a brief presentation/speech about the position. Then they told you the schedule of individual interviews (30 min each). The individual interview was with 4 other NS employees. They go over your resume/work experience and ask basic interview questions. Overall a fairly easy process.

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days – interviewed at Norfolk Southern in October 2014.
I spoke with recruiters at my school during a career fair who later contacted me to schedule an interview. I was then interviewed by two recruiters who were very polite and straight forward. It was a standard interview with mostly behavioral questions and being a student with limited job experience a majority of the interview was revolved around my resume and an explanation of the position itself and the training involved.

I applied through a recruiter – interviewed at Norfolk Southern (New Brunswick, NJ) in October 2013.
Met at a career fair, gave them my resumes, texted me to set up an interview the next day. Had literally a 10 minute interview and than had to take a 3 part online assessment, now I am waiting to hear back.
Interview was basic questions, nothing about the actual railroad, he made it very clear to me that they would teach me all that it takes to work in there field. I interviewed with a worker and a recruiter at the same time, they asked questions mainly about how I would handle myself in situations like heavy lifting, or getting dirty in the work place since it is a very hands on job. Also asked me if I was willing to relocate, this seemed to be a make or break for them.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Norfolk Southern.
I met the recruiters at my university's career fair, and was told to apply online. Once I did, I was asked to take their management assessment test about two weeks later and was then contacted to come in for an onsite interview. An HR rep arranged my flight to arrive the day before the interview and they provided me with a hotel room.
When I arrived for the interview, I found out that HR had invited about ten other people as well. The morning began with a company overview and then candidates were called into one-on-one interviews. All of the HR reps were very nice and the employees I interviewed with were as well.

I applied through college or university. The process took a week – interviewed at Norfolk Southern (Champaign, IL) in September 2013.
Single interview. I was interviewed by a person from HR and a Chief Engineer. They were very straightforward about what they expected from me They expect interns to devote their life to the company, pretty much. Expect to work 80 hour weeks and be on-call 24/7, working nights, weekends, and holidays. I didn't even want the job.

I applied online. The process took 1 day – interviewed at Norfolk Southern (Atlanta, GA) in March 2013.
I applied to the internship online. After submitting the application, I had to take an online assessment. From there, I had a phone interview. I was shown a powerpoint over the phone along with other potential members. I was flown to Atlanta for the departmental interview. I was given a $50 gift card for my expenses.
During the interview we were given an exam. However, it was not an assessment. It was an exam over basic operations research concepts including modeling and transportation questions. There were logic questions as well as statistics and SQL questions.
Afterwards, there were one-on-one interviews with various people in the department. Some paid attention to the responses to the questions. Others were preoccupied sending e-mails (Clark last name unknown) and not listening to responses.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Norfolk Southern (Norfolk, VA) in March 2013.
Applied online. Received email to complete online test (many behavioral). Received phone call to schedule a phone interview after test. Phone interview very basic questions along with questions about your skill set. Then they had a conference call with a presentation about NS. Interview at the office in Norfolk, Va a week later with department heads (multiple at the same time). They asked me to come back again within the week for another interview because they couldn't decide between me and another candidate.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks – interviewed at Norfolk Southern in January 2013.
After receiving my application, they forwarded me a link to an assessment test consisting of old SAT-style questions. They were difficult, and I know I missed several. Nevertheless, I was asked to a phone interview. Everything went extremely well, and although I would've enjoyed the actual work, I came out with the perception that NS was focused highly on employee loyalty, something that, as an intern who is still evaluating where I want to be next year (much less five years down the road), I saw as a major issue.
