|The Royals owned the American League in last year's playoffs. But entering 2015, their division felt very much up for grabs. The Tigers had won four straight AL Central crowns, while the seemingly improved White Sox and the Indians both looked capable of making a run at the top spot. If any club was generally counted out of the running before Opening Day, it was the Twins.

Just a boy with a big dream and an even bigger heart.
A review from this past year. No joke - I love these two! :)
''Henry was hands down the best investment we made on our day. We were one of those couples who weren't positive whether it was worth getting a videographer. What initially sparked my interest was when I saw the highlight he created after my friend's wedding. It wasn't a wedding video - it was a masterpiece that captured not only the essence of the day but also the couple and their relationship. It was so different than any of those cheesy montages so typical of other wedding videos. But what really sold me was the other videos of couples I didn't know. Each video was so unique, personal, and told the story of the couple in such beautiful ways. I felt like I got to know each couple and their wedding day through those videos.
We finally took the plunge and booked Henry. He was extremely responsive. He really took the time to get to know us, our story, and what the day meant to us. On the day of, he showed up early and was always there at every moment. There were times I didn't even notice he was around - but when it crossed my mind, "ooh I wish he captured this moment", I'd turn around and he would already be there! He was so professional and on top of it throughout the day, even helping out my other vendors who hadn't paid as much attention to the schedule and flow of the day.
We just got our highlight last week and were absolutely floored. I have no idea how Henry managed to make it so perfect - but it was absolutely ingenious and perfect. It wasn't a video - it was a short film and a true work of art. Of all vendors I worked with, Henry was truly the most professional and most dedicated to his work. You will not regret booking him - his work is worth way beyond every penny we paid.
Advice for future clients: Take the time to answer his questions and build that relationship - the better he gets to know you, the richer your video will be IMHO, as it gives him a better picture of who you are and gives him more to work with.''

Infiltration Pond
What are you studying in school? Or what did you study? Ever consider how your sciences are important when it rains?
One of the concerns about the library property is the management of the storm water. This is important because it can help get us one LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) point. Credit 6.1: Stormwater Design: Quantity ControlÔÇÖs intent is to ÔÇťLimit disruption of natural water hydrology by reducing impervious cover, increasing on-site infiltration, reducing or eliminating pollution from stormwater runoff and eliminating contaminants.ÔÇŁ ┬á
For me that is a bit dry and hard to follow. However, in thinking that if we receive 1.5 inches of rain in one hour, that water needs to go somewhere. This pond will help contain that water and then allow it to absorb into the ground and also to be sent into the storm sewers to take it off site.
When building the pond, two parts are considered. The first is how much water can be held and the second is how long it takes to release the water. Our pond is built to contain 15,000 cubic feet of water.  By using mathematical statistics, of other areas with similar climates and ground types, an average size is developed.  This design is based on the 100 year rainfall chart, which shows that we would expect 6.5 inches over a 24 hour period.    Another area of mathematics, geometry, is put to use in deciding if the pond is going to round or oval. Geology, the study of the earth, is also important.  What type of soil and how quickly water absorbs into this soil and what the water table below the soil is, helps determine the size. Our pond is fat clay which is typical for this region.
Geology, mathematics, statistics are all subjects used in the development of the infiltration pond.

Western Edges Out Albemarle
Western edges out Albemarle
There was a little something extra on Bridget Shaffrey's overtime goal. Just a little extra juice.
"I just thought do what everyone tells you to do…just shoot it as hard as you can at the back of the net," said Shaffrey of her fifth goal of the night. "I don't know if it was because I missed goals in the beginning or I was mad or I just really wanted to win, but I just thought 'Get it. Just shoot it."
The shot held up as Western escaped Albemarle High with a 14-13 overtime victory over the Patriots in a back-and-forth battle.
"We had some opportunities that we didn't take advantage of, we made some mistakes and in a one-goal game that's all it takes," said Albemarle coach Laurie Pratt. "But we played some really great lacrosse, I'm proud of them."
Nine lead changes highlighted the clash between the county rivals. Every time Albemarle tried to push the advantage beyond a goal or two, Western reeled the Patriots back in with a timely goal. Western's Peyton Brandt triggered the Warriors' offensive attack, piling up eight points on four goals and four assists. Shaffrey had five goals and five players notched a goal each to round out the scoring for the Warriors.
But none of those goals came easy as Albemarle keeper Kelsey Rund came up with 11 stops in the cage, several of them in the opening minutes of the contest. The Warriors also needed every one of them as Albemarle unleashed its own offensive explosion. The Patriots scored four straight to open the game with Connor Carson's six-point night leading the charge. Carson had three goals and three assists, with one of those goals coming on a wild run in the final minute where she hauled in her own draw control and then sped down the left side of the field. She crossed back toward midfield and sprinted toward the Western goal — weaving through a number of defenders on the way — and buried the ball in the back of the cage. The goal put Albemarle up 13-12 with 47 seconds left.
But the Warriors answered just 14 seconds of game time later when Brandt scored her fourth goal of the night on a fastbreak off the ensuing draw control.
That score sent the game to overtime, where a couple of near misses and Albemarle turnovers set the stage for Shaffrey's game-winner. The goal capped a terrific bounce back by Western from the early 4-0 run by the Patriots.
"These girls are so self-aware that we didn't even get in the huddle when we were down by four — they met and we let them figure it out," said Western coach Nancy Haws. "It's just about what they think is going to work. We always tell them to assess what they've been given and react to it."
Albemarle got big nights out of Hanna Shaps with four goals and an assist and Becca Mendelson, who had three goals and an assist. The Patriots continue to make strides as a program. The squad improved drastically over last year, but they've also been taking steps in the right direction since the start of this season.
"As every game goes on we find the combinations that are working for us," Pratt said. "I can pull anyone off the bench and know that they're going to produce. I think this team is 23 players deep."
Western picks up the district opening win, and will now face Charlottesville Wednesday night at 6:30 p.m. The Patriots will host Monticello at 5:30 Thursday evening.

Turning magazines into furniture with the clever folks at NJU Studio
Anyone who consumes magazines with the voracity that we do will, at some point, have encountered the problem of what to do with your subscriptions once you've read them. You can't throw them away of course – suppose you suddenly need to lay hands on a vital piece of information that's long been shredded and mulched? Unacceptable! But you can't just leave them hanging around the house either, taking up valuable space that should really be full of potted plants and stylish furniture.
But what if there was a way of turning you magazines INTO stylish furniture? Let's cut to the chase now, there is! Coburg studio NJU have found a way of transforming an unsightly magazine stack into a classy piece of seating, and all it required was a couple of leather straps and a cushion. The Hockenheim (for that is its name) comes in two different sizes, based on standard publication formats, and can be stacked as high as the leather straps will allow. So now you can show off your impeccable taste and intellectual prowess at the same time. Excellent!

Significant advances in geosciences and in STEM education have taken place in the 17 years since the geoscience community last gathered to take an in-depth review of undergraduate geoscience education in 1996. Geoscience has become more interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary, resulting in the need for students to have strength in their discipline as well as the ability to work across disciplinary boundaries. The Earth Systems Science approach has demonstrated the complex interactions between different parts of the Earth system, requiring a better understanding of all aspects of the Earth system including the Earth's interior and surface, hydrosphere, atmosphere, cryosphere, and biosphere. Our science has become increasingly important in addressing societally important issues (natural hazards, water, energy, climate, sustainability, etc.), which makes preparation in ethics, economics, and communication ever more important skills for our undergraduate students to learn. Yet the importance of understanding deep time, including the Earth's history and evolution, is still critical.
Given these far-reaching changes in our science, much debate has occurred nationally in recent years on what is needed to prepare undergraduate students for graduate school and/or future careers in the geosciences. What modifications to a traditional geoscience curriculum are needed to encompass these new realities? What constitutes a thorough geoscience curriculum? How rigorous in math and other sciences does a geoscience curriculum need to be? Is there any value in having accreditation (or standardized classification) of undergraduate geoscience programs? How do geoscience curricula meet the changing geoscience workforce needs?
At the same time, undergraduate education is undergoing a transformation with the advent of Massive Online Open Courses (MOOC's), flipped classrooms, crowd-sourcing of open education resources, and new pedagogies for STEM education derived from discipline-based education research (DBER). Broad adoption of these educational approaches and pedagogies has not occurred in the geosciences, and we lag behind other STEM fields (e.g. physics, biology) that are successfully implementing these methods. Additionally, many opportunities exist for developing shared resources and courses with local customization, particularly for 2 year colleges. Major advances have taken place in visualization and geospatial tools, generation and use of massive amounts of quantitative information (big data), and computational modeling and simulation for both predictive capabilities and insight into processes and global-scale events. These advances provide new ways of enhancing student learning, as well as raise the question of the relative value of virtual versus real experiences, particularly in the field. Colleges and universities are striving to prepare undergraduate students to use rapidly advancing technologies and big data in the future.
This summit will bring together a broad spectrum of the undergraduate geoscience education community, from large research universities with undergraduate programs to smaller four-year and community colleges, to address these issues and to begin the process of developing a high-level community vision for the geosciences. Other STEM disciplines, including biology, engineering, and chemistry, are currently undertaking community efforts to develop a vision for their respective undergraduate education systems to address evolving educational changes. The goals for this summit are to take the first steps at developing a community vision for undergraduate geoscience education and build a roadmap for the future that outlines the next steps for refinement and implementation of this emerging vision. Sustained change in geoscience undergraduate education will take the combined efforts of departments and programs, led by administrators, individual faculty innovators, geoscience professional societies and future workforce employers.

I was in third grade when I read Charlotte's Web, by E. B. White, and it was the first time I understood a book to be a piece of literature. The story begins on a family farm with a little girl named Fern whose father sets out to kill the runt of the litter - a little pig later named Wilbur. Fern protested, asking her father if he would have done the same to her. "A little girl is one thing, a little runty pig is another," he responded, to which she replied, "I see no difference." This assertive response sets the tone for a book that deals with very serious issues of gender and generational conflict, friendship, death and loss. The anthropomorphized animals in the story struck an empathetic chord with me, and although the adults did not see the world in the same way as Fern, her parents indulged her request to keep Wilbur, which set off a chain of life-changing events for everyone. The story does not, in the end, draw a simple moralizing conclusion like most children's stories, and that is what made it so thought-provoking.

Owning the space where business and technology intersect.
Tepper Takes B-School to the Big Leagues
According to one of his former students, Ken Dunn was always "ahead of his time" when he taught at the business school in the 1980s. Now, this former student wants to keep it that way. So he and his wife gave Carnegie Mellon the largest gift in its 104-year history—$55 million to the school of business, the second largest gift to any U.S. business school.
His name is David Tepper. That's also the new name given to the Graduate School of Industrial Administration in recognition of the gift he and his wife, Marlene, gave to the business school that was originally founded by William Larimer Mellon in 1949.
Tepper says the gift will be used to make sure Carnegie Mellon continues to "teach things that aren't in any textbook." Dunn was doing just that when Tepper, now 46, was a graduate business student more than 20 years ago. Tepper says this was a very big reason he went on to build Appaloosa Management, a $3-billion hedge fund investment firm in Chatham, N.J.
"We say that our students make an impact in the world and we emphasize that with their ability to combine disciplines to solve problems and come up with new ideas, they make an impact more quickly than their peers," said Carnegie Mellon University President Jared L. Cohon. "David epitomizes this kind of success. To receive this transformational gift from a recent graduate speaks to the competitive advantage our students possess."
"The outstanding education I received at Carnegie Mellon gave me the ability to analyze investment options in such a unique way that I am still capitalizing on what I learned there to this day," Tepper said. "I owe a lot to my former professor, Dean Ken Dunn, and the rest of the faculty."
Tepper's gift acknowledges more than five decades of landmark accomplishments in leading new approaches to management research and education. And it supports the business school's initiatives to build upon its environment of academic rigor, excitement and discovery.
"Pioneering efforts are not new to Carnegie Mellon," said Ken Dunn, dean of the Tepper School of Business.
Management science was invented here by an academic "dream team" whose philosophy of preparing future business leaders by using an analytical decision making approach to more effectively manage an uncertain, dynamic marketplace was vastly different from the conventional reliance on a case study method that, in their opinion, did not deepen one's problem-solving abilities.
During the b-school heyday of the 1950s and 1960s, Carnegie Mellon's business faculty—which included a roster of maverick visionaries named Bach, Cooper, Cyert, Miller, Modigliani and Simon who went on to become university presidents and Nobel Laureates—served as the source of management knowledge for other leading American business schools. As the late Herb Simon, former professor and Nobel Laureate, put it, "intellectual excitement was the commodity we marketed."
The Tepper gift will nearly double the endowment of the business school and will inspire others to support this distinctive institution that uses its collaborative, multidisciplinary culture to produce innovations with impact.
"Their gift accelerates our vision of owning the space where business and technology intersect," said Dunn. "Marlene and David Tepper's generosity—and belief in the strength of the school—will have a lasting impact. They expect a return on their investment, and rightly so. They expect the school to retain and hire the best faculty. They agree that the environment here was—and remains—special. And their gift allows us to build upon an environment of academic rigor, collaboration and discovery.
"I often say that the academic experience available on this campus is one that is nearly impossible to replicate at other leading business schools. We are decidedly different in how we approach business—our global reputation and our credentials within the business environment has confirmed our role in leading management education, particularly in the arena of analytical decision making."

Rated 4.2 out of 5�by 47 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Kate Awesome for long runs! I purchased this belt for a half marathon and it was AMAZING. I was able to keep my phone in the zipped pouch, as well as my license and money. The belt kept the bottles tight against me and it was comfortable for all 13.1 miles! October 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Beesh928 Solid product but for first time users be careful of placement This is my first hydration belt and overall I'm pleased with the purchase. It took a little getting used to as far as how to wear it (front or back) and where on the body (natural waist or hips). I learned that DO NOT place on your hips because the bottles bounce around too much and fall out. The best placement for me is around my back and at my natural waist (whcih is right above your belly button). Once I figured that out, the bottles stayed in and the product worked well. March 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by littleworm23 Would buy this again When shopping around for a hydration belt for running my main concerns were that it would slide/bounce while running or that it would be difficult to use while running. This belt works perfectly and I have none of those problems. :) It stays put while running, is comfortable and I can get the bottles in and out without stopping. I bought one of these for myself and one for my husband and we are very pleased. I would definitely buy this again. :) April 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by runLNrun Women's specific needs more than One Size I have several Nathan products and like them all. I have multiple fuel/hydration belts. I decided to go to a multiple bottle format. This one is the most comfortable I have had - however, I am a petite female (25 inch waist) but not the smallest female runner. Even being the women's specific I have this tightened as far as it will go and it is still to small. I encourage athletic companies to make 2 sizes in women's specific. One Size fits Most and One Size fits the little ones. January 16, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Tif in Training Good Buy!! I hesitated buying a hydration belt. I'm currently training for a marathon, and now I wish I had bought it sooner. The bottles stay in and secure and are great on long runs. The reason I bought this one over the older version is that it's adjustable. I was worried it would be too big, I'm 5'2'' and 110 lbs., but this fits great! I don't feel like it's too heavy or bulky. ***For those of you who think these bottles leak, check to make sure the tops are pushed ALL the way down!! At first I had the same problem and was very frustrated. Then I realized I needed to push the top down pretty hard to fully seal the bottle. October 3, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by JillB First timer, positive I bought this item for my first half and it went over pretty well, you do need to make sure that you've closed the tops completely because otherwise it drips on to your back and feet. The pouch was good sized as well, enough to fit two protein bars and some other things into. April 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by dawnrdh Love it! I love this hydration belt! I wish I had gotten one sooner! I was afraid to get one because I feared that it would bounce a lot while I was running and drive me crazy. It had very little movement, and the pouch holds a large amount of stuff! I had plenty of room for all the fuel I needed for a 20 mile run. Plus it holds my phone, which is larger than most phones, and I could never find anything in which it would fit. September 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mark S. Great hydration belt This is my first hydration belt. At first I did not like the rubber nozzles on the bottle caps, but I got used to them. The belt fits best right above the belly button, at least on a man with a little bit of belly. Below the belly button will interfere with movement. I use this for 2 hour runs filled up to 8oz per bottle. I think 3 hours would be the maximum I would go with both filled to 10oz. July 1, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Beth Nice belt I have a four bottle belt ( 7oz bottles) that I use on long runs/marathons. I wanted a two bottle belt for 1/2s and shorter runs. This fits the bill. What I'd prefer are 'race caps' on the bottles. I didn't realize these were 10oz bottles, whoops. I'm sure I can find replacement bottles with race caps. The storage pouch is great, better than the one on the 4 bottle belt. I can cram more stuff and my phone in there. All in all I am happy with the purchase. What surprised me was that I actually liked the clasp versus a velcro closure. March 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Chrissy67 Great product I bought this product to train for a half marathon. It is well made, snug fit, great for running distance. March 15, 2013

Like the Springfield Falcons, the Rock Cats provide good value for families. They are worth going to watch
I hope a winning team would bring out the fans. A top six forward to replace Dane Byers and a puck-moving defenseman would help A Nash trade could bring top prospects. Brad Larsen will need tools to build a winning team.
All is not lost. The Red Sox are in the hunt for that second wild card spot. However, they will not come close to it with both Beckett and Lester pitching as badly as they are. They need an ace. I don't think they will be able to trade for one. If they come out flat after the break, they will need to be sellers and acquire as much young talent as possible. Even if they make the playoffs, does anyone believe they can compete with the Yankees? They are stuck with Beckett and Lester. Why would another team give anything of value for them??Too many big ticket players are underperforming or not performing at all. There are no easy answers.
Dane Byers will be missed. Give Cody Bass the "C'' right now.
Let's hope Cam sticks with Columbus. He proved himself in the AHL last season. If he makes the big club, the Falcons will get a very good player from the Blue Jackets.
Signing Jonathan Audy-Marchessault is much better than a year ago when Alexandre Giroux was signed. This is an up and coming player, hungry to do what it will take to play at the next level, even if it means more minor league seasoning. Giroux wanted to be in the NHL and when he wasn't, far too often just went through the motions during his Falcon tenure. Goaltending depth was also addressed and I hope Dainton will still be in the mix.
Never mind what they say, there is not a better candidate than Springfield's own, Gene Reilly.
The Red Sox will need Big Papi to stay hot and carry them to that second wild card spot.
Forget Tim Thomas? No way. What he did during the Stanley Cup run was incredible and without him, the Cup drought would still be on. At his age, duplicating that feat is an impossible task and the playoffs this year proved that. It is time to move on with Rask. He has always had No. 1 potential and everyone expects him to live up to it. This team is built to contend for the Cup for years to come. It should not take nearly 40 years to win another, but as we all saw in 2011, winning it all is difficult because a lot of things need to go right.
Good story. Going big is what they need to do. Let's hope the players they pick are not busts.
If the pitching holds up, a wild card berth is more likely. The Yankees have a much better team. Dice-K looks like he can help and the bullpen has been great. I expect more deals.
Let's hope Doubront has not hit a wall. He has not pitched well of late.
The Red Sox had two choices. They could send Middlebrooks to the minors to play every day and go wiith Youk at base or trade him. They made the right decision, one that was right for them, Youk and Middlebrooks. Youk would not have been a happy camper on the bench. Right now, Middlebrooks is the better player and the Red Sox are a better team with him in the lineup. They got what they could for a broken down veteran. They have adding pitching depth for down the road and speed on the bench, which is never a bad thing. Remember Dave Roberts?
Leave the kid at third and watch him have a nice career. Time to trade Youk.
Now that the Red Sox realize they cannot get a top prospect for Youk, it's time to take what they can get, even if it means paying part of his salary. He should be able to help another team if he is healthy. It will also be interesting to see if they shop Ellsbury because of what Boras may demand in the future.
Too bad this had to end like it did. Toot Cahoon is a good coach. He helped put UMass hockey on the map. He surrounded himself with outstanding assistants and built a good program. We used to "Root for Toot'' at the Colisuem in the 1970s when he played minor league hockey. He was a frequent visitor to the Olympia to recruit players from the 'Pics. Thanks, Toot, for a job well done.
So Roger never did steroids. Yeah, and O.J. really didn't klil his wife and her friend. Pitchers do not get better with age. He was not the same when he left the Red Sox likely because of his shoulder. Hello, HGH and steroids, and suddenly, he's better than ever. There just can't be any other explaination. Same with Bonds. This is what juice is supposed to accomplish and they are the poster boys for this, along with Canseco. Roger had a Hall of Fame career before anyone stuck a needle in his butt. What he most likely did to extend and enhance his career should keep him out of Cooperstown.
This was not a fluke. Morales went 3-0 as a starter late in 2007 to help the Rockies win the diviison. Unllike Bard, he can throw his fastball in the mid-90s for strikes. I know it's only one start, but after what he gave them Sunday night, how can the Red Sox not give him another start.
Wrigley is much better than Fenway, just as the Willis (formerly the Sears) Tower is better than the Prudential Building. Wrigley started with an upper deck and has much more room. It is old, but more comfortable then Fenway. Cub fans show up because they have a passion for the game and they know how to enjoy it. They are friendly, down to earth people and they do not insult the opposition (unless the White Sox are in). Going to Wrigley has been my most enjoyable baseball experience. I say this not because I am a Cubs fan. I grew up and still am, a Red Sox fan. I only wish the Cubs could gve their fans what the Red Sox gave us in 2004 and '07.
Manny is no more than a DH at this stage of his career and last time I looked, the Red Sox have a pretty good one.

'7 Claims. (Cl. 180-924) ABSTRACT-OF THE DISCLOSURE A Wheel type chair-bed withba'ck, s'eat,. a'nd leg suppor't ing members supported on a U frame base connected'to the seat by an intermediate. member. Hydraulic pistons 15 connect and move the various members in relation to the base.
This invention relates. to a wheel type ,chair-,bed for invalids and patients, comprising a base and a seat and. back and leg. supporting members which areadjustablein relation .to the base. Devices-of this type suifer from several draw-backs among which can be mentioned a high. retailing price, limited usefulness and practicability. Prior art wheel type chair-beds arenot suited to cope with any and all situations, and-- in a buildingthe doors and. staircases make itv difiicult to use the device. These drawbacks are eliminated by the present invention in that the seat, back and leg supporting members arecombined, into a separate unit which at the front edge of the seat member is pivotejd'to one end of;an. intermediate member. which has its other end pivotedto the base which in plan viewis of U shape.
These and further features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description in. which reference is made to the accompanying drawings which illustrate a number of embodiments chosen by; wayofexample. ie v In the drawings: M
FIG. 1 .is a side elevatiohal view. of the chair-bed in twodiffe rent positiousof use, one position being shown by full lines, while, the other positionis indicated by dash, and dot lines; e

FIG. 6 is a side elevationalview ,offthe chair-bed in still a further position of use; I
FIG. 7 is a side elevational view corresponding to FIG. 1 and showing a modified embodiment of the invention;
FIG 8 is a rear view of the modification shown .in FIG, 7 substantially inthetposition shownimFIG, 4;
FIG, 9 is a view of a furthenmodification of the invention in oneposition of use; V
FIG. 10 is a view of still another modification .of the 60 invention. U
The chair-bed shown in FIGS 1-6 is supported by two pairs of wheels 1 and 2, the wheels 2 being 'so-called caster Wheels. The chair-bed comprises a back supporting member 3, a seat member 4, a'leg' supporting member 5 and 65 a foot rest 6 which according to the invention are.com-. bin ed into a separate unit generally designated 7. The seat m'mber'4 and the back supporting member 3, the" leg suppor'ting member 5 and the footrest 6iri this unit I 7 are adjustable to' ditferent sitting and supine positions, 7 being pivotally'arranged relative to each other and to a A base 8 which is connected with the supporting wheels 1, 2.
The seat member 4 and the back supporting member 3,
manner into immediate proximity to the surface on which the chair-bed is placed.
At the front edge of the said member 4, the unit 7 is' pivoted to one end of an intermediate member 9 which in the base. 8, of U shape in plan view, is pivoted to said' base with its other endclose to the'transverse limb 1010f the base 8. The intermediate member 9 is of a width less than the free space between the main limbs 11 of the U-shaped base 8, FIG. 2. Thus, the intermediate member 9 is disposed in and, like the seat member 4, adapted to the free space between the main limbs 11 of the U-shaped base 8. In side elevation, the intermediate member 9 is arcuate or angular, having at its ends pivot points 12, 13
for the seat member 4 and the base 8, respectively. Al-- though it is shown as a one-piece unit, the intermediate member 9 may be an arm-pair in which the arms are located adjacent the main limbs 11 of the base 8 but 'beneath the unit and inwardly of the free longitudinal edges of the seat member 4. The 'arms of such an arm-pair are parallel and spaced apart. The arms have their one ends pivoted, at 12, to the seat member 4 and their other endspivoted, at 13, to the base 8. Aswill appear from the drawing, the-U-shaped base 8 comprises-means at the free ends of the main limbers 11- and at the transverse limb 10 for mounting the supporting wheels 1, 2. Moreover, piston-cylinder devices 14, 15 are provided, re-' spectively, between the base 8 and the intermediate member 9 and between said intermediate member 9 and the seat member 4. Such an arrangement offers a great many possibilities for an extremely varying and versatile ad-- justment and fixation of the unit in the adjusted position with regard tothe base 8 and thereby to the surroundings and the equipment to be utilized by the invalid or patient or to be employed for his care and comfort.
In addition to the operating and adjusting means in the form of the piston cylinder devices 14, 15 respectively between the base 8 and the intermediate member 9 and. between said intermediate member 9 and the seat member 4 of the the unit 7, piston cylinder devices 15a and 15b are provided also respectively between the back supporting member 3 and the seat member 4 and, between said seat member 4 and the leg supporting member 5 and possibly also between said legsupporting member 5 and the foot rest 6. However, these further operating and fixation means need not necessarily behydraulically operated but can be made adjustable and fixable by other optional means, such as mechanical means. W
At hydraulic operation of the piston-cylinder devices 14, 15 a suitable pumping device can be provided ata convenient location in the chair-bed, and the base 8 can be a hollow beam, the cavity 16 of which contains a supply of hydraulic fluid. The piston-cylinder device 14 is arranged in the space behind one of the wheels 1 in order not to increase the total width of the chair-bed and is connected to the intermediate member 9 by means of an arm 17 which is fixedly connected to said member 9. A piston-cylinder device provided on the opposite side of the chair-bed can be formed either as a hydraulic unit corresponding to the piston-cylinder device 14 or as a spring mechanism for storing and supplying driving power Patented Oct. 22, 1968* to facilitate adjustment of the back supporting member 3, the .leg supporting member 5, the foot rest 6 and the seat member 4 into desired positions. The same may apply to the piston-cylinder device 15 which can be supplemented with a similar spring mechanism.
As will appear from the drawings, the chair-bed is easily adjusted and locked in different positions of use which are shown by way of example only since a further number of other positions of use can be obtained to permit the invalid or his nurse to positively cope with every situation that may arise, either the chair-bed is operated by the invalid himself or by his nurse. In FIG.'6 the chair-bed is shown equipped with a lifting hook 18 which when the chair-bed is utilized as a lifting means permits lifting and turning the patient in a bed or on a treatment table 19. The chair-bed in FIG. 1 is shown equipped with a neck support 20 and can, of course, be provided also with arm rests or other supports not shown in FIGS. 1-6. Such supports should lie entirely within the lateral edges of the seat member 4 to allow unimpeded adjustment thereof and the adjoining parts of the unit 7 from a position above the base 8 to a position beneath said base, and vice versa. FIG. shows a water closet 21. Besides, the position in which the chair-bed is illustrated in FIG. 5 is suitable for transferring the invalid to a car, either such transfer is effected by the invalid himself or with the aid of other people.
In the modification shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a pistoncylinder device 25 corresponding to the piston-cylinder device 14 is mounted between the base and the intermediate member 9 and hingedly connected by hinges 26 and 27 to the base 8 and the intermediate member 9, respectively. The hinge 27 is mounted in the angle of the intermediate member 9 which has angular shape as seen from the side. Also connected to the hinge 27 is the pistoncylinder device which is pivoted to the seat member 4 at 28. In this modification, the hollow beam construction of the base 8 is more pronounced than in the embodiment earlier described, and a space 30 located adjacent to the transverse limb and between the main limbs 11 can be utilized to accommodate a motor 31 (which is only diagrammatically shown) for the propulsion of the chair-bed. Said space 30 can be closed by means of a cover 29. Extending from the drive shaft 32 of the motor 31 is a transmission 33 which is connected to a friction roller 34 which engages the periphery of the wheel 1 and when the motor 31 is in operation permits the chair-bed to be propelled. In this embodiment, a hinge between the seat member 4 and the back supporting member 3 is designated 35, a hinge between the seat member 4 and the leg supporting member 5 is designated 36, and a hinge between the leg supporting member 5 and the foot rest 6 is designated 37.
In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a pump 38 is disposed in the seat member 4, like in all the preceding embodiments. The pump 38 is provided with a lever 39 mounted on the outer side of the seat member 4, and by moving the lever to and fro the pump 38 is made operative to pump pressure medium from the supply in the base 8 or from the supply 40 in the seat member 4 in the embodiment according to FIGS. 7 and 8 to the various piston-cylinder devices a, 15b and 25. The flow of pressure medium from the operating pump 38 can be passed through conduits 41 and a valve mechanism 42 to the desired piston-cylinder device or devices which, when made operative, bring about the desired adjustment of unit 7 and the seat member 4, the back supporting member 3, the leg supporting member 5 and the foot rest 6, comprised therein. The valve mechanism 42 has a setting means (not shown) which can easily be reached from the upper side of the seat member 4.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the chair-bed ac cording to the invention is equipped with a track-laying mechanism 45 to permit the chair-bed to ascend or descend a flight of stairs 46. The mechanism 45 comprises a pair of chains 47 orbelts which are placed around sprockets 48 and a return sprocket 49 so that the respective chain or belt 47 will have two runs travelling in the same plane at an angle to each other. The sprockets 48, 49 are mounted in the intermediate member and take part in the movements thereof, thus being protected and inoperative up to the moment when the tracklaying mechanism is moved to operative position by lowering of the intermediate member 9'and the seat member 4 to the lowermost positionshow'n by dash and dot lines in FIG. 1. The chains or belts 47 have claws (not shown) by which the chains or belts can firmly engage the stairs 46, thereby ensuring safe propulsion of the chair-bed up or down relatively steep flights of stairs with the invalid or patient remaining seated on the seat member 4. Through a transmission 50 the track-laying mechanism 45 is drivably connected with the motor 31. As will appear from FIG. 9, the wheels 2 can be swung aside to facilitate the climbing movement of the chair-bed.
The leg supporting member 5 of the chair-bed accord ing to the invention can be used by the invalid or patient to lift a relatively heavy or large object and to convey the object, in its lifted position, by means of the chair-bed, while the patient himself remains seated on the seat member 4.
In the modification of the invention illustrated in FIG. 10, a piston-cylinder device 51 is provided which has one end pivoted to the seat member 4 at 52 and the other end pivoted to the base 8 at 53 by means of an angular connecting member 54. This piston cylinder device 51 combines the function of the piston-cylinder device 15 in the earlier embodiments with the further function of serving as a link in a parallel guide mechanism for the seat member 4, wherein the intermediate member 9 constitutes the other link. For example, if the piston-cylinder device 51 is held in its retracted position shown in FIG. 10 by dash and dot lines, together with the horizontal seat member 4 and the intermediate member 9, and only the piston-cylinder device 25 is operated for moving the seat member 4 vertically, the seat member 4 substantially remain in its horizontal position, irrespective of the height position imparted to it by the piston-cylinder device 25. This has been indicated in FIG. 10 where the seat member is also indicated by dash and dot lines in a further position.

Agarycheva is #9 in West Region Fall Singles Rankings
SALEM, ORE. -- Willamette University women's tennis player Natalia Agarycheva (Jr., Vancouver, WA/Prairie HS/Univ. of Northern Colorado) is ranked #9 in the West Region in the fall singles rankings for NCAA Division III released by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA). Agarycheva and Willamette teammate Shannon Palmer (So., Salem, OR/Sprague HS) are ranked #6 in the West Region in doubles.
Agarycheva reached the finals in singles at the Wilson/ITA Small College Northwest Regional in early October. She also combined with Palmer to advance to the finals in doubles.
The #1-ranked player in the West Region is Liz Lewis of Chapman University (Calif.). Abby Olbrich of Linfield College, who defeated Agarycheva in the finals of the Northwest Regional, is listed at #8 in the West Region rankings and is the highest ranked player from the Northwest Conference.
Olbrich and Sally Katter, who held off Agarycheva and Palmer in the Northwest Regional finals in doubles, are ranked #2 in the West Region. The top doubles team in the Region is formed by Paige Sumida and Rachael Miller at the University of Redlands (Calif.).
Willamette has completed its fall tennis schedule. The Bearcats will return to action on Feb. 6, when they will take on the University of Puget Sound at the Courthouse Tennis Club at 1379 Madison NE in Salem, Ore. Match time is set for 2 p.m. (PST).

UT women's basketball finished 28th in nation in attendanceWritten by Zach Davis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
With their second consecutive season featuring postseason success at home, the UT women's basketball team saw its attendance rise to one of the top totals in the country with the official results coming in this weekend.
The Rockets ranked 28th out of 343 Division I schools during the 2011-12 season in attendance, averaging 3,748 per season, the second-highest in school history (4,614, 1993-94). The total also gave UT the most fans in the Mid-American Conference for the 22nd consecutive season. Only Bowling Green (1,615) and Central Michigan (1,002) drew more than 1,000 fans from the MAC.
"Big thank you to our amazing Toledo fans!" wrote Toledo head coach Tricia Cullop on her Facebook page. "Because of you we finished the season 28th in the country in attendance, 1st in the state of Ohio and led the MAC for the 22nd straight year! All of you created an amazing atmosphere in Savage Arena this season!"
The rest of the teams in the MAC weren't the only ones looking up at Toledo in attendance. The Rockets also led every team in Ohio, including nationally ranked squads Ohio State (3,666) and Dayton (2,382), as well as some other notable teams around the country: Kansas (2,552), Florida State (2,428), Miami (Fla.) (1,407) and Florida (1,245).
Toledo's success at Savage Arena was highlighted this year with its Feb. 11 matchup against Bowling Green. The Rockets drew 5,131 fans, the 10th-largest total in school history.
Toledo is 57-8 in four seasons under head coach Tricia Cullop at home, including a 30-2 record in league play. The Rockets won the WNIT Championship in 2011, hosting all six postseason games. In an effort to repeat in 2012 despite missing star point guard Naama Shafir, the team won three WNIT games in Savage Arena before falling by one in overtime to Syracuse.

(b)has excluded rights under an unapproved pension arrangement,
the permanent trustee may apply to the court for an order under this section.
(2)If the court is satisfied—
(a)that the rights under the arrangement are to any extent, and whether directly or indirectly, the fruits of relevant contributions, and
(b)that the making of any of the relevant contributions ("the excessive contributions") has unfairly prejudiced the debtor's creditors,
the court may make such order as it thinks fit for restoring the position to what it would have been had the excessive contributions not been made.
(3)Subsection (4) applies where the court is satisfied that the value of the rights under the arrangement is, as a result of rights of the debtor under the arrangement or any other pension arrangement having at any time become subject to a debit under section 29(1)(a) of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999 (debits giving effect to pension-sharing), less than it would otherwise have been.
(4)Where this subsection applies—
(a)any relevant contributions which were represented by the rights which became subject to the debit shall, for the purposes of subsection (2), be taken to be contributions of which the rights under the arrangement are the fruits, and
(b)where the relevant contributions represented by the rights under the arrangement (including those so represented by virtue of paragraph (a)) are not all excessive contributions, relevant contributions which are represented by the rights under the arrangement otherwise than by virtue of paragraph (a) shall be treated as excessive contributions before any which are so represented by virtue of that paragraph.
(5)In subsections (2) to (4) "relevant contributions" means contributions to the arrangement or any other pension arrangement—
(a)which the debtor has at any time made on his own behalf, or
(b)which have at any time been made on his behalf.
(6)The court shall, in determining whether it is satisfied under subsection (2)(b), consider in particular—
(a)whether any of the contributions were made for the purpose of putting assets beyond the reach of the debtor's creditors or any of them, and
(b)whether the total amount of any contributions—
(i)made by or on behalf of the debtor to pension arrangements, and
(ii)represented (whether directly or indirectly) by rights under approved pension arrangements or excluded rights under unapproved pensions arrangements,
is an amount which is excessive in view of the debtor's circumstances when those contributions were made.
(7)For the purposes of this section and sections 36B and 36C ("the recovery provisions"), rights of a debtor under an unapproved pension arrangement are excluded rights if they are rights which are excluded from his estate by virtue of regulations under section 12 of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999.
(8)In the recovery provisions—
"approved pension arrangement" has the same meaning as in section 11 of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999;
"unapproved pension arrangement" has the same meaning as in section 12 of that Act.]

When: Wednesday, April 30, 2014 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Where: Plant Sciences : 1130
Event Type(s): Seminar
Plant Science Lecture Series 4/30/14 Presents Dr. Lucia Strader, Washington University, St. Louis; 4:00 p.m., PLS 1130
Seminar Title: "Refining the auxin signaling model"
Auxin is a critical plant hormone that regulates every aspect of plant growth and development. ARF transcription factors control auxin-regulated gene transcription and their activity is regulated by Aux/IAA repressor proteins. The Strader Lab has discovered that dimerization of the repressor with the transcription factor is insufficient to repress activity, suggesting that multimerization is the mechanism of repressing ARF transcriptional activity, refining the auxin signaling model.
Light refreshments and water will be provided. In our efforts to practice sustainability, it would be helpful if you would please bring your own water bottles, cups, etc.

KINGSTON, R.I -- June 18, 2002 -- At the tender age of nine Nicole Dulude had no idea how one blank newspaper would change her life. As a childhood activity, she filled in the headlines and weather forecasts, sparking her interest in journalism.
Now entering her senior year at the University of Rhode Island, the journalism and political science major, has been awarded the Rhode Island Press Association Scholarship. This competitive $1,000 scholarship is presented annually to a student with an interest in print journalism. Selection is based on background, experience, and faculty recommendation.
Linda A. Levin, professor of journalism and department chair, said that she had never seen a more qualified candidate for the scholarship. "Nicole has done it all in newspaper journalism (editing, reporting, column writing) and will make a terrific journalist one day."
Since her freshman year, Dulude has worked for the Good 5¢ Cigar, the URI student paper, and has just been appointed editor-in-chief. Last year the Cranston native worked as a news editor editing stories, developing story ideas, and helping with page layout. Dulude was the Student Senate correspondent and is most proud of the connections she established with the Student Senate members and advisers. "The more you can connect with your sources, the better you can convey the story to readers," said Dulude. She will now tackle maintaining the Cigars website, redesigning the newspaper, recruiting new staff, and dealing with the bigger issues of accuracy and story selection.
Dulude is currently free-lancing for the Cranston Herald, where she interned the summer before her freshman year. "I learned more that summer than I ever did in any journalism class," said Dulude. "Every morning I would get in my car, not knowing where Id end up. Sometimes I would be roller-skating with kids, then covering a speech by the governor."
The fourth and fifth graders at Cunningham Elementary School in Pawtucket have also been exposed to Duludes journalistic dedication. Shes their journalism teacher. The class prepares them for a final project, creating their own newspaper. "Its great to see the kids get excited about writing," said Dulude.
Dulude also gets excited about writing, but her true passion lies in the creative side of journalism. She finds page layout and design relaxing, allowing her creative juices to flow. "I have noticed that at the end of the night when I look at the finished product, it reflects my mood at the moment," said Dulude.
Duludes uncertain what her future holds. " In the immediate future I want to write for a newspaper, thats always been my passion. But later I may want to pursue journalism through law school concentrating on media law and first amendment protection. I go back and forth on a daily basis," said Dulude.
*For a digital image of Dulude please contact Nancy Gillespie at 874-2116 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

You don't need to be rich to start investing or saving money. Even people working at their first jobs or newlyweds living on a tight budget can develop the habit of saving.
Here are five ways to automate your savings program to make it effortless:
1. Set up a savings account and simply arrange automatic transfers from your checking into your savings account. Schedule the transfer to happen between two and five days after your paycheck is deposited.
2. Set up a TreasuryDirect account at the U.S. Treasury and make automatic deposits. You can arrange for monthly deposits of $25 and up.
3. Take a look at the new myRA ("My Retirement Account") program. It lets you build savings in what is essentially a Roth IRA. You can start with as little as $25 to open the account, and you can deposit as little as $5 per month.
4. Get started with a dividend reinvestment program (DRIP) with the Moneypaper folks. They have put a lot of energy into helping children learn the fundamentals of savings and retirement investing. In fact, Moneypaper can demonstrate how saving $25 per month can turn into over $1 million by retirement age.
5. Contribute to your employer-sponsored retirement account. This is especially worthwhile if your employer matches your contributions. Smart employees make payroll contributions to the level the employer will match (sometimes half, sometimes the entire contribution). Anything over that is just gravy.
How much can you contribute to a typical employer plan depends on the plan:
With a SIMPLE IRA plan, you may contribute 100 percent of your wages, up to $12,000 for 2014 (you can add an additional $2,500 if you're age 50 or over). Your employer is required either to match your elective deferrals up to 3 percent of your salary or to match 2 percent of your salary no matter how much you deferred.
There is one drawback: If you draw this money out in less than two years, the penalty is 25 percent.
With a 401(k) or qualified plan, you may contribute up to $17,500 (you can add an additional $5,500 if you're age 50 or over). Your employer may establish a plan with a choice, where you may deposit the money in a Roth version of the plan without getting any tax deduction for your contribution or deposit it into a regular retirement account, where your contributions reduce your taxable income. Your employer may even match your contributions or provide profit sharing, which could bring your total benefit up to $52,000 ($57,500 for age 50 or over).
Many of these plans allow you to borrow from them. Typically, you may borrow either up to 50 percent of your plan's value or $50,000, whichever is lower. This is a powerful tool for those expecting to keep their jobs long enough to pay the money back. You pay no taxes on the loan unless you leave the job before repayment, so you don't diminish your retirement savings.
You have a lot more options, especially if you're self-employed. Check out the IRS website for details.

At Bite Size Wellness we strive to bring you the best of health and wellness one bite at a time. If you think about it, each day is made up of little bites that we make, say, see and do for our healthy lifestyle.
We put that all of those ideas together here on the Daily Bite.
Sometimes that includes drooling on our keyboard over ridiculously unique recipes like this raspberry tiramisu from SophistiMom.
Tiramisu is a very quiet obsession of ours. It is better than cake. And we love this take on the Italian dessert because it is bountiful on the berry front. It also removes the coffee or rum flavors from the mix which creates a whole new tiramisu experience and we are not mad about it…at all.
Here is what you need for your raspberry tiramisu creation:
- 1 8 ounce package mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 40 or so store bought lady fingers
- 1 8 ounce jar seedless raspberry jam
- juice of 2 lemons
- raspberries, a lot, as many as you can get
For the rest of the recipe click on to SophistiMom.
Do you love tiramisu? What other berries would you use in this recipe?

I take your point, *but* - the kind of folks who can afford and attend these sorts of soirees are not interested in networking with the reps of other non-profits. They're there to enjoy themselves and feel good because they've helped in some measure. You and I may not agree with it, but that's how it is.
I appreciate the efforts of Pitt, DeGeneres, Drew and the others-- and this is simply the way these things are done. Take away the tax-exempt status and there'd be a lot fewer attending, sad as that might be.
I'm a twice-yearly visitor who lives in Milwaukee. The exact same behavior has been occurring here, for 4th of July parades and fireworks. It's gone from being folks showing up early with chairs and coolers to large encampments set up a week in advance, often manned by no one! Police do not seem inclined to get involved-- I guess it is up to 'the rest of us' to make it known that it's not acceptable. It must be very frustrating for those of you who remember how it used to be before the age of encampments.
I'm sorry I didn't read about this until just now, as I would have visited when I was there two weeks ago. Good luck with your business, and I'll stop by when I return in December!
Just thrilled to hear of the renewal for a third season. I'm a yearly visitor, have spent 2 weeks in NOLA each year for the last 16. I don't have cable, but read the reviews and comments each week after a new episode airs. I bought the first season on DVD as soon as it became available.
To me (and to the many friends and relatives who watch the show because they've been invited to stay with me and experience the city I love) what I enjoy about the show *is* the music-- it is part and parcel of the lives of the characters. There would be no jazz, no rock, no R&B or pop if it were not for the gumbo that was life in New Orleans through the 19th century. I think it's great that is celebrated in 'Treme'.
Keep on keepin' on, NOLA, and I'll be back in the clubs listening to music again in February.
I made plans a month ago to move my NOLA timeshare week to encompass the Superbowl date. I was hoping there would be a 'mass showing' of the game somewhere, didn't realize the NFL wouldn't allow it. Still, it should be an incredible experience, guess we'll just walk around the quarter and take it all in!
Fleur de lis, black and gold, Saints win in the Super Bowl!!
I've been visiting New Orleans each winter for 16 years, and simply love the city and the people of NOLA. So there was a northern outpost of the Who Dat Nation here in Wisconsin. My adult kids watched the game with me while we ate red beans & rice and oysters joseph. I thought I was having a heart attack multiple times... but at the end, after we screamed and jumped and yelled "Who dat say..." into the cold night from the front porch, I wept tears of absolute joy for the city. We will be in the Crescent City to cheer for the Saints on Super Bowl Sunday!

The shrimp cocktail at St. Elmo Steak House in Indianapolis now has bragging rights as the world's spiciest food. Food critic and Travel Channel blogger Alison Stein Wellner says even she was "puzzled by Indianapolis' come-from-nowhere triumph" after traveling all regions of the world on a quest to find the spiciest cuisine. St. Elmo says the culinary concoction is made daily by grating 20 pounds of horseradish. The Travel Channel may feature the dish as part of a show on the world's most potent epicurean delights.

INDIANAPOLIS � Local restaurant landmark, St. Elmo Steak House is adding to its international recognition by winning the world�s spiciest food award from well-known food critic and blogger, Alison Stein Wellner, (www.worldhum.com) who partnered with television�s popular Travel Channel on the quest.
�I dropped my cutlery as a sensation that I can only describe as what electrocution must feel like, shot down my throat and then up my nose, forking its way into my brain My hands started to rise and�yes!�I had the urge to clap my hands on my skull to keep the top from blowing off.� she added.
On a quest to find the world�s spiciest food, Stein Wellner traveled to all regions of the world to find the top five spiciest food and here is the list, in decreasing order of spiciness:
1. St. Elmo Steak House's Shrimp Cocktail, Indianapolis 2. Red Chilies in Cop�n Ruinas, Honduras 3. Spiced Sardines in Kumarakom, India 4. Chicken Curry in Mumbai, India 5. Currywurst in Frankfurt, Germany
�I have to admit, I was puzzled by Indianapolis� come-from-nowhere triumph in the blow-the-top-of -my-head-off quest,� Stein Wellner states. �I mean, really, Indianapolis and not India, not China, Honduras, Louisiana or Tennessee? �
Since 1902, St. Elmo Steak House has offered guests perfectly aged steaks, tender pork chops, superb guest service and � its notorious shrimp cocktail. Like many, first-time, unsuspecting guests who order St. Elmo�s signature shrimp cocktail, the �head rush� of horseradish is an unforgettable experience.

Eerie glow from the Dollar Lake Fire, as seen on Monday night from the Red Hill area above Laurance Lake. The fire, estimated at 1,500 acres Tuesday morning, was caused by lightning and is burning on national forest and wilderness land. A type-II management team was assigned to the fire this morning and 13 crews were ready for action.
