Yarmouth bounces back; Freeport, Greely now 2-0
(Ed. Note: For the complete Yarmouth-Poland game story, with additional photos and a box score, please visit theforecaster.net)
All is right with the world again as far as the Yarmouth football team is concerned.
The two-time Class C state champion Clippers, who lost, 33-7, at Oak Hill last week, snapping their 24-game win streak, played their home opener Friday against Poland.
The teams had never met, but Yarmouth quickly made a statement, driving 64 yards on 13 plays, chewing up 6 minutes, 31 seconds in the process and taking a 6-0 lead on quarterback Brady Neujahr's 9-yard run.
A 43-yard TD run by Thomas Lord and a 5-yard TD scamper by Matt Woodbury stretched the lead to 18-0 by halftime. The Knights answered at the start of the third period with a touchdown drive to cut the deficit to 18-8, but Matt Klepinger broke free for an 80-yard TD run and freshman Ryan Nason passed 33 yards to Rhys Eddy for a score to make it 31-8. Poland got within 31-18 in the fourth quarter, but a 34-yard Neujahr run put it away as the Clippers prevailed, 38-18.
"It was devastating last week," said Neujahr. "I hadn't lost since sixth grade. It was tough. This week, we came out strong, changed the tone in practice and worked hard."
"Last Saturday was a huge wakeup call," Lord said. "I think we needed it, to be honest. We knew we had to turn it around."
"It's a lot better than last week," Yarmouth first-year coach Chris Pingitore said. "That was a life lesson. You'll fail sometimes, but what you do to follow up makes your character. I told the guys that the first loss would take a lot of pressure off them. We had a good week of practice. The kids pulled through and dug down deep. Tonight, as opposed to last week, we had an answer every time (Poland) got in the end zone. I think that's the true character of this team. They worked hard and they wanted it. They paid attention to detail and did the little things. That adds up to where we've been the past couple years and where we could be this year if we keep it up. Tremendous effort."
Yarmouth finished with 500 yards of offense.
Klepinger gained 110 yards with a score on nine carries. Lord had 106 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries and caught three passes for 85 yards. Woodbury gained 29 yards and scored one TD on 11 attempts. Neujahr wound up gaining 90 yards and scoring twice on eight rushes. He completed 4-of-9 passes for 102 yards.
Yarmouth hopes to get over the .500 mark when it visits 2-0 Maranacook Friday. The teams last met in the 2010 Western C quarterfinals (a 54-6 Clippers victory).
"None of these teams are slouches," said Pingitore. "We have our work cut out for us. I think everybody's gunning for us. We're definitely a target. It's a challenge, but that challenge makes it fun. We have to work hard as coaches and players work harder."
The Clippers appear on their way back.
"A new season started tonight," Lord said. "We still need to work on the little things. Work on hitting the holes hard, working on defense, tackling, taking care of the ball.
Freeport started 2-0 with a 49-0 home victory over Sacopee. The Falcons, who eked out an 18-14 triumph at Boothbay in their opener, led 22-0 after one period and 43-0 at halftime. Jared Polley and Joe Nixon each ran for two touchdowns. James Purdy threw two TD passes (one to Evan Bertrand and one to Cameron Buthlay) and Eli Fox completed a scoring pass to Jake Perry).
"It was a good team effort," said Falcons coach Rob Grover. "We were up 22-0 midway through the first quarter. I put the JVs in with four minutes to go in the first half. We had 23 carries for 221 yards, eight sacks and held them to 54 yards for the game. Dan Burke had 10 tackles."
Freeport looks to go 3-0 when it plays at 2-0 Traip (which hasn't surrendered a point) Saturday afternoon. Last year, the Falcons lost in Kittery, 7-0.
"It will be a very big challenge," said Grover. "If we can their big runner (former Falcon Corey Aldecoa) at bay, we have a shot. They bring the house. He's one of the top running backs in the league. They're already firing on all cylinders. We played very well against them last year, but we have to go back to them. It's earlier this year too."
In Western B, Greely made it two straight Friday with a 54-0 home win over Lake Region, in a game that was stopped in the third quarter. Matt Pisini returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown and Nick Maynard caught a touchdown pass to give the Rangers, who beat Spruce Mountain, 33-7, in the opener, a quick jump.
"Lake Region didn't have a large number of players, but they played hard," said Greely coach David Higgins. "We've all been through that before. A new coach and staff. A rebuilding program. That's part of the growing pains. Our division, Class B, is very, very competitive. Numbers play into consideration. I have the utmost respect for their coaches and kids. They played hard the whole game. We just did what we had to do."
Greely has a showdown at 2-0 Westbrook Friday night. The Blue Blazes opened the season with a 30-0 home victory over perennial powerhouse Mountain Valley and defeated defending Class B state champion Wells, 28-20, last week. Last year, in Cumberland, the Rangers beat Westbrook, 28-0.
"I'm very excited about this week," said Higgins. "We look forward to the challenge. Westbrook is the dominant team right now. We took them a little by surprise last year. We took them of their game, which is running the ball. They'll be ready for us. They've had two great games. They're athletic and physical. We want to give them a game."
(An audio broadcast of the Greely at Westbrook game can be heard at theforecaster.net or mbr.org.)
Falmouth, which lost at Gray-New Gloucester, 22-14, in its first game, dropped to 0-2 after losing, 18-0, to visiting Spruce Mountain.
The Yachtsmen hope to get in the win column Friday when they go to 2-0 Marshwood, which is coming off a victory at Mountain Valley. Last year, Falmouth beat the visiting Hawks, 33-14.

Some sad news, everyone – after six years, nearly 24,000 posts, and roughly 7 trillion dogs doing specific things, Bestweekever.tv is officially going off the web. Or whatever the term for 'a website ending' is. 'Askjeevesing?' Sure.
After this week, BWE.tv will no longer be updated, and VH1's digital pop culture coverage will be rolled into VH1 Celebrity, VH1 Music, and the VH1 Blog. We'll be spending this week doing a series of BWE wrap-up lists and blasting "I Will Remember You" and "End Of The Road" simultaneously on a loop, and Friday, June 15th be our last day of new content.
If you're wondering why this is happening, long story short, the show Best Week Ever went off the air more than three years ago. We attempted to re-pitch BWE.tv to VH1 as a type of Wives, but it didn't take, so I'm afraid this is officially goodbye.
We'd like to thank all of our loyal readers and commenters over the years, who've been UNBELIEVABLY passionate and kind (by both internet and human standards), as well as our fellow bloggers in the bloggocube for linking to us and finding crap for us to link to, and VH1, for actually paying us to do this and for giving us the autonomy to write about whatever topics we wanted, no matter how controversial they may be.
On a sappy personal note – I moved to New York eight years ago, and my first job (after quitting comedy-club street-barking on my first day) was temping for a phone service whose sole purpose was to call executives at companies to remind them to schedule their annual physicals, for eight hours a day, five days a week. Needless to say, the fact that I've been able to spend ANY time – let alone five years of my life – writing fun nonsense on a website and having people care about it, and this being my job, is both amazing and legitimately humbling.
Seriously, thank you all so much for the support over the years, it's been ridiculously fun.

Ripe and ready: Cape Elizabeth farms rely on strawberries to fuel interest
CAPE ELIZABETH — The strawberries are on schedule this year.
It might not seem like a big deal, but in recent years strawberries – and other crops farmed in Cape Elizabeth – have been less than predictable.
In 2012, for instance, an unseasonably warm spring caused strawberries to blossom in March and ripen long before the annual festival that's named for them.
This year, however, is different. The berries are peaking just in time for the fifth Strawberry Festival, a two-day event that combines the fruit and farming with food and music.
The festival begins with a pig roast and lobster bake at 6 p.m. Friday, June 28, at Shady Oak Farm, on Fowler Road. Tickets are $30 and were nearly sold out by Wednesday; only about a dozen were still available at Alewives Brook Farm on Old Ocean House Road.
On Saturday, the event continues at Maxwell's Farm on Two Lights Road, with food and art vendors, musical acts, kids' activities and, of course, strawberry picking.
The fields at Maxwell's Farm were bustling Wednesday with hundreds of people crouching along the tight, hay-lined rows of strawberry bushes. Meanwhile, at the edge of the field, farm owner Bill Bamford sat in his pickup truck and talked about the season.
"It was a pretty normal spring," Bamford said, with a hint of surprise in his voice. "It was cooler than last year, but last year was too hot."
In 2012, Bamford's strawberry crops were nearly gone by the start of the festival. This year looks better, he said, with rows upon rows of bushes adorned with plump, red berries; however, Bamford stopped short of calling the season an all-out success.
"You never know until it's over," he cautioned.
The Strawberry Festival is planned each year for the last weekend in June, which, under normal conditions, coincides with the peak of the season.
Penny Jordan, owner of Jordan's Farm on Wells Road, agreed that 2013 has been remarkable for its normalcy.
"Over the past two years we got used to things coming in early," she said.
The timely arrival of fruits and vegetables is important to farmers, Jordan said.
Ideally, each crop matures and ripens on a particular week, and doesn't conflict with the ripening of another crop. For instance, strawberries normally ripen in late June and peak on July 4, which coincides with the arrival of vacationers. About a week later, peas start coming into season.
"They get strawberries at the beginning of their vacation and peas at the end of it," Jordan said. "The farms get to capture that energy when everybody is out and about."
Later in July, after the peas peter out, the corn is ready.
In an ideal season, this pattern repeats itself over and over until November, with each crop arriving in sequence like train cars arriving at a station. The timing helps farmers market their crops to retailers, she said.
"This is what farmers pray for," Jordan said. "Simple things."
The Strawberry Festival is a way for Cape Elizabeth farmers to begin the new farming season and get noticed, said Jordan, who is also the chairwoman of the Cape Elizabeth Farm Alliance, a group that strives to maintain the viability of farms in the area and sponsors the annual event.
Farmers within the alliance pitch in for the festival, particularly the pig roast and lobster bake on Friday, in hopes that it will "become one of the premier events in Cape Elizabeth that everyone wants to go to," Jordan said.
Then on Saturday, many farms host pick-your-own-strawberry events to show off their spreads.
"If you get people driving around and visiting the other farms, they're seeing the value that farms bring as safe, reliable, local food sources," she said. "It's not just about a strawberry event. It's about farming as a year-round proposition. We try to bring Maine food to people 12 months out of the year."
As for next year's crop, it's anyone's guess whether the strawberries will be on time, but Jordan made a sturdy prediction. It's an adage she learned from her brother:
"All you can say about the next season is, 'It's going to be different from this one.'"

Public Interest Advocacy News--Winter 2009
Welcoming New Staff
In June, Krysta Jones, M.A., joined PI-GRO as the new Senior Legislative and Federal Affairs Officer. Prior to joining APA, she worked at the American College of Ob-Gyns where she served as Federal Representative for over five years. In that capacity, Krysta was responsible for managing a wide range of legislative and regulatory initiatives impacting women's health. She is also the CEO and Founder of Virginia Leadership Institute, Inc., a non-profit candidate training organization in Virginia. Krysta holds a Master's Degree in Legislative Affairs from The George Washington University, and her diverse professional experiences include serving as consultant in the Peace Corps in Paraguay for two years where she procured over $10,000 in equipment and training from USAID and America On Line for a local radio station in an effort to increase transparency and participation in government affairs. As part of the PI-GRO team, Krysta is responsible for issues impacting women and their families as well as issues related to socioeconomic status.
Congressional Briefing. On May 15, PI-GRO, along with the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry, the National Association of Social Workers, and the Older Women's League, APA sponsored a congressional briefing on Capitol Hill on Meeting the Mental Health Needs of an Aging America: Opportunities and Challenges for Federal Policy. APA member Tony Antonucci Ph.D., co-chair of the APA Presidential Task Force on Integrative Healthcare for an Aging Population, represented APA at this important event. During her remarks, Dr. Antonucci strongly advocated for integrated health care for older adults. She also discussed the Task Force's report, which recommends that health-care providers embrace an interdisciplinary model of care in which teams of professionals--from psychologists and pharmacists to physicians and nurses--work together to devise treatment plans for each patient. On such teams, no one member is "the leader;" rather, members share leadership and power and bring their own expertise to the table to maximize patient care.
Children, Youth, and Families
Youth with Serious Mental Illness (SMI). On June 25, APA's SMI/SED Task Force member, Arthur Evans, Ph.D., represented APA at an important and well-attended -standing room only - Congressional Press Conference on Transition Youth with SMI, which was jointly held by Representative Pete Stark (D-CA), Senator Gordon Smith (R-OR), and Senator Christopher Dodd (D-CT). The purpose of the press conference was to announce the release of a key Government Accountability Office report regarding Young Adults with Serious Mental Illness and to introduce the Healthy Transition Act of 2008 (S. 3195 / H.R. 6375), legislation designed to address the challenges faced by transition-age youth with SMI. APA's Public Interest Government Relations Office played a significant role in helping to develop this legislation and in securing Dr. Evans' participation as the sole mental health expert in the panel of speakers. Dr. Evans, the Director of Philadelphia's Department of Behavioral and Mental Health Services, spoke about the challenges he faces as the director of a $1 billion mental health department in a major city to help young people transition to the adult mental health system.
Abstinence-Only Education. Following a request from the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, PI-GRO staff submitted written testimony for a congressional hearing held on April 23 entitled Domestic Abstinence-Only Programs: Assessing the Evidence. APA's testimony was positively cited in the opening statement of Committee Chairman Henry A. Waxman (D-CA) for its support of comprehensive sexuality education programs that have proven effective. The Department of Health and Human Services currently makes available annually $163 million for abstinence-only and abstinence-until-marriage education. The statement submitted by PI-GRO took as its basis the February 2005 APA Council Resolution in Favor of Empirically Supported Sex Education and HIV Prevention Programs for Adolescents.
Residential Treatment Facilities for Children. On June 26, the House of Representatives approved the Stop Child Abuse in Residential Programs for Teens Act of 2008 (H.R. 6358), a bill to mandate much-needed standards to prevent and respond to child abuse and neglect at residential treatment facilities. The Stop Child Abuse in Residential Programs for Teens Act, which has been a top legislative priority for PI-GRO for many years, lays a foundation for change by monitoring the care of children and youth in certain residential treatment facilities by:
prohibiting program staff from physically or mentally abusing children and youth in their care or denying children essential water, food, clothing, shelter or medical care, whether as a form of punishment or for any other reason;
requiring that programs only physically restrain children and youth if it is necessary for their safety or the safety of others and to use restraint in a way that is consistent with federal law;
requiring programs to provide children and youth with reasonable access to a telephone and informing children and youth of their right to use the phone; requiring programs to train staff in what constitutes abuse and neglect and how to report it;
requiring programs to have plans in place to provide emergency medical care.
Furthermore, the legislation would prevent deceptive marketing by such programs by requiring programs:
to disclose to parents the qualifications, roles and responsibilities of all staff members;
to notify parents of substantiated reports of abuse or violations of health and safety laws; and
to include a link or Web address for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which will carry information on all private residential programs.
Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment. On June 18, the House Education and Labor Committee approved the Education Begins At Home Act (H.R. 2343), legislation to support parents with young children through home visitation at the State and local levels. Strong evidence indicates that early home visitation is especially effective in preventing child maltreatment in populations that are at elevated risk of child abuse and neglect. On a related front, PI-GRO staff submitted testimony for a hearing convened on this important legislation. Furthermore, on June 26, PI-GRO staff submitted testimony for a hearing of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions' Subcommittee on Children and Families to discuss the upcoming reauthorization of the Child Abuse Prevention & Treatment Act (CAPTA), the nation's most important law addressing child abuse and neglect. In anticipation of this critical reauthorization, PI-GRO staff worked closely with APA members with expertise on child abuse and neglect to develop comprehensive, APA-wide recommendations to improve this federal law. Specifically, APA's recommendations address the prevention of child maltreatment; children with disabilities; young children in the child protective and child welfare systems; cultural competence and the overrepresentation of minority children in foster care; interagency collaboration, including collaborative procedures between child protective services and domestic violence services; attorney representation for children who have been abused or neglected; and the impact of mandated reporting laws on research.
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA). On June 18, Senators Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Arlen Specter (R-PA), and Herbert Kohl (D-WI) introduced the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Reauthorization Act of 2008 (S. 3155), legislation to update the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA). Since 1974, JJDPA has served as the nation's most important law pertaining to the treatment of juvenile offenders and the prevention of delinquency among at-risk youth. APA's priorities, which were sent to key congressional staff in March, incorporated in the introduced legislation include a seat on the Federal Coordinating Council for a mental health expert; participation of mental health experts on the State Advisory Groups; and the authorization of a study to be performed by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) that specifically addresses issues surrounding female offenders and those at-risk for delinquency. Additionally, the proposal places a greater emphasis on the significant mental health needs of those who come into contact with the juvenile justice system and focuses on providing resources for mental health screening, planning, and service provision and coordination between juvenile justice and mental health agencies.
PI-GRO staff has been working tirelessly with disability groups, business organizations, faith-based groups and civil rights organizations to ensure passage of legislation that will restore the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Currently, individuals with certain health conditions, such as epilepsy, diabetes, psychiatric diagnoses, and other mental health conditions that are controlled with medications or other disease management strategies, are not covered by the ADA. They are routinely dismissed as "not disabled enough" to warrant protection of the statute. As a result of these advocacy efforts, the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (H.R. 3195), a bipartisan compromise, was overwhelmingly passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on June 25 by a vote of 402-to-7. The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.
Ethnic Minority Affairs
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). PI-GRO staff continues to monitor issues affecting immigrant children and families, including the impact on these populations of recent ICE raids and their access to medical and mental health care while in detention. There are numerous reports of children being separated from their parents for periods of time due to these procedures. The potential implications of these situations can result in an adverse impact on the family unit, and can also have a detrimental effect on childhood development. PI-GRO staff provided information to Congress regarding the potential long-term adverse psychological impact on children's mental health of these policies, and continues to discuss these critical issues with key congressional staff in an effort to develop and implement appropriate policies and standards for the well-being of immigrants, including immigrant children's mental health and educational needs. Recently, PI-GRO staff submitted testimony to the U.S. House Workforce Protections Subcommittee (House Committee on Education and Labor) for a hearing held on these issues entitled ICE Workplace Raids: Their Impact on U.S. Children, Families, and Communities. Furthermore, as a result of strong advocacy efforts, PI-GRO staff has received numerous requests for psychologists to share their expertise at regional hearings taking place to discuss these important issues. On June 24, APA member and current Chair of the Committee on Ethnic Minority Affairs, Jose Cervantes, Ph.D., provided a powerful testimony before a national commission in Los Angeles investigating the policies and practices of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency. The hearing focused on the impact of workplace immigration raids. During his compelling testimony, Dr. Cervantes, who also serves as President of the National Latina/o Psychological Association, discussed the widespread and lasting emotional and psychological damage of the raids-particularly on children and families. Dr. Cervantes spoke before an audience of over 1,000 individuals and his testimony will become part of the commission's public report. This will assist in shaping several worker, advocacy, and immigrant groups' legislative and Congressional efforts throughout the next year.

Video:Learn the Italian Alphabetwith Jodina Hahn Gallo
The Italian alphabet is slightly different from its American counterpart and is the building block for learning to speak Italian. Here is an intro to the Italian alphabet.See Transcript
Transcript:Learn the Italian Alphabet
Buongiorno! I am Jodina. I am a professional, credentialed Italian language teacher and I spent nine years of my life in Italy. Let's take a look at the Italian alphabet, l'alfabeto italiano.
21 Letters in Italian Alphabet
There are 21 letters in the Italian alphabet, unlike English which, has 26 letters. Let's take a look at what they are.
"Ahh," (A) as in "amore," or love.
"Bi," (B) as in "bagno," or bathroom.
"Ci," (C) as in "cuoco" or "centro". The letter C, or Ci in Italian, has two different sounds: the hard sound, "kuh-," as in "cuoco," and the soft sound, "che-," as in "centro."
Then there is "Di," (D) as in "dove," meaning where.
"E," as in "edificio," or building.
"Effe," (F) as in "formaggio," or cheese.
"G" Has Two Sounds
"Gi," (G) as in "grazie" or "gelato," meaning thank you and ice-cream. Also, there are two G sounds: the hard sound "gah-," as in "grazie," or "juh-," as in "gelato." Yummy!
"Acca," meaning H, is always a silent letter, so this is pronounced "eye," meaning you have, and this is pronounced "obby," or hobby.
"Eye," (I) as in "Italiano," or Italian.
"Elle," (L) as in "libro," or book.
"Emme," (M) as in "mercato," or market.
"Enne," (N) as in "numero," meaning number.
"O," like "ora," or hour.
"Pi," (P) as in "pane," or bread.
"Cu," (Q) as in "quanto," meaning how much.
"Erre," (R) as in "ristorante," or restaurant.
"Esse," (S) as in "sorella," or sister.
"Ti," (T) as in "treno," or train.
"U," (U) like "uomo," or man.
"Vu," (V) as in the word "vino," meaning wine; "Vu" can also be called "Vi."
And then "Zeta," (Z) for the word "zaino," or backpack.
Letters Not in Italian Alphabet
Then the foreign letters that are in the English alphabet that are not in the Italian alphabet:
"J" is "i lunga" or, literally, "the long I." If you remember "I" as "E," this is "i lunga."
"K" is "kappa,"
"W" is "vu doppia," or, literally, "double V," "vu doppia."
Then "X" is "ics," and "Y" is "epsilon."
And there you have it, l'alfabeto italiano.

Have you just started cook your own meals? Are you looking for the best kitchen knives as a gift to a dear one? Whether you are looking for a fast answer or detailed information about cooking knives, our blog may help. We have tested all the top kitchen knives and many less highly rated ones, picked out the best from the best, and reviewed them in detail.
Whether it is a kitchen knives set or just a certain type of knife you are looking for, we have recommendations for you.
How to Choose the Best Kitchen Knives
Having sharp, great knives will enable you to cook very precisely. Knife skills are essential in cooking. – Eric Ripert, French chef and author
From our tests and research, the price of a kitchen knife or a set of knives is largely determined by its material and its workmanship.
We'll explain more about this in our reviews, but for now it's sufficient to know that generally, you're more likely to get a high quality knife among the expensive ones, than among the cheap ones. In other words, it is still possible to find good kitchen knives for cheap, but you'll just have to put more effort in your search. Luckily, we've done most of the work for you.
When buying kitchen knives, you can:
Buy a whole set of knives – A whole kitchen knife set is often cheaper compared to buying the exact same knives in the set individually. You may also prefer a knife set because many of them include a wooden or plastic knife block that is tailored to fit the knives. Kitchen knife sets sometimes come with a pair of kitchen shears and/or a sharpening steel as well. When buying a kitchen knives set, look for quality and value in the specific few knives or tools that you will be using the most.
Buy the knives individually – If you are the type to buy only what you need, find out which types of kitchen knives are the most imperative for your cooking. We'll talk about the types of knives, their functions and order of importance below. If you buy kitchen knives individually, you'll be able to invest a larger bulk of your budget to a few important, everyday knives and spend less on other types of knives that are only needed occasionally.
Both – Some people start with a basic kitchen knives set and add extra knives to the set when they need them. This eases the strain on the budget and allows new cooks to get a feel of what they like and don't like before investing more in kitchen knives. Many basic knife sets now come with a knife block with extra slots for this very purpose.
Types of Kitchen Knives
Kitchen knives are designed for their specific functions, which is to say the fact whether a knife has a broad or narrow blade, a tapered or rounded tip, is important for its particular function. To put it bluntly, a kitchen knife is not simply a sharpened tool that you can put to a piece of food and expect a right cut to be made. If you do that, at best you could end up with badly cut ingredients that may not affect the cooking, at worst the knife could be damaged or you may even suffer an injury.
A chef's knife, a utility knife and a paring knife are the most used knives that any chef or cook will have in his/her kitchen. These knives are multi-purpose and may be used for many types of cuts, which makes them the workhorses of the kitchen. If you're just starting out, definitely get these three kitchen knives individually or in a set. (Note: Some people use a santoku knife in place of a utility knife. You can read about santoku knives here.)
Second in order of importance are the kitchen shears and the bread knife. Kitchen shears are great for many purposes and you will soon find yourself longing for a pair if you don't have them. The bread knife is particular to slicing bread but it is important because you can't slice bread properly with any other knife.
Other types of knives like sushi knife, boning knife, steak knives, carving knife, cheese knife, filleting knife and so on are also particular to their functions and optional.
What Size Should You Get
The chef's knife ranges from 6-inch to 10-inch, and only select brands carry a line of chef knives of more than 10-inch. The average person uses the standard 8-inch chef knife comfortably but you may like a shorter or longer knife depending on your height. The taller you are, the more comfortable you will be with a longer chef knife.

|Mortgage rules change in Canada
|Written by Tom Philp
OTTAWA - The days of zero down and a 40-year mortgage are likely over for Canadians. Starting 15 October, the federal government will no longer guarantee a four-decade amortization with no down payment.
The government announced this week that mortgages will be limited to 35 years, require a minimum five per cent down payment, and be federally insured for only 95 per cent of the value of the home. At the same time, anyone borrowing mortgage funds must have a good credit rating and demonstrate that their debt servicing costs are not greater than 45 per cent of gross income.
At least one critic opined that with the Canadian housing market just beginning to cool after more than five years of rapid growth, the timing of this government decision will likely slow housing sales even more and depress home prices.
Liberal MP Garth Turner, the author of a book warning about a possible Canadian housing downturn, says the government's decision could trigger a devaluing of homes by about 15 per cent nationally and as much as 30 per cent in boom towns like Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver. It could also prompt Canadians to move quickly to beat the October deadline.
The federal finance department said forthcoming mortgage rule changes are designed to avoid any mortgage crisis that could mirror the sub-prime mortgage fiasco in the U.S., rather than pointing to any fundamental problems in the Canadian system.

Very nice family restaurant offers much more than you might expect from a neighborhood trattoria. Real authentic Italian food made with fresh good quality, ingredients, nice wine selection. I have eaten there twice, first time I had the homemade lasagna with salad it was the best I have found anywhere in FL, the second visit the I ordered the veal it was also outstanding. The desserts are made in house, with espresso. The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. One of the best kept secrets of North Miami one would never expect such great food.

I live very close to this amazing little trattoria but would easily drive an hour if it were further away. My husband is half Italian and knows Italian food very well. This is one of his favorite places in Miami for Italian food. It is authentic, well-priced, consistent and just plain good! The quality of the food and service are top notch. Needless to say we will continue to return here frequently.

Editorial reviews
A long way from Dick and Jane, this near-primer tries hard, and with at least some success, to rob a scary toy of its power to frighten a youngster. Jack the rabbit is thrilled to receive a box covered in stars from his fond parents. His enthusiasm for the gift changes to fright, however, when a green-faced, pop-eyed talking clown head suddenly lunges out at him. Still, in subsequent playful interchanges with it, Jack gradually comes to agree with its claim that it is not a bad toy at all but a silly one - but not before it, Cat in the Hat - like, unleashes both subsidiary toys and terrifying chaos in a sequence color shifts indicate may well be imaginary. Framed in one or two sequential panels per page done in flat colors, simple shapes and with an all-dialogue text in balloons, the episode looks like a comic for brand new readers. There's a lot going on beneath the surface, though, and this may have some therapeutic value for older children too. (Graphic early reader. 4-8) (Kirkus Reviews)

Gear Review
The LG Neo Power Bib Shorts offer great value and comfort for the price. I prefer these to Assos and Skins. There was a problem with the chamois, but LG replaced during the 1-year warranty period without any problems. For sizing reference, I am 5' 9.5, 172 pounds and the XL fit perfectly. The extra length of the inseam (11.25 inches versus other brands' 9 to 9.5) adds to the comfort.

The first beta will be available next week in time for Google I/O. And yes, I'm planning to write a new Widget example for a future beta.
Normally this would be counted as a 2nd edition and you'd have to buy it all over again. But in this case the publisher has agreed to make it a free eBook-only upgrade for all current eBook owners (PDF, epub, and mobi). This includes people who bought the PDF version or the Book+PDF combo.
If you just bought the paper version before, then this would be a good excuse to upgrade to the eBook edition! See http://pragprog.com/coupon to get a big discount.

The Addicks are unbeaten in their last five outings and secured a battling 1-0 victory at Birmingham last weekend.
"We're feeling good about ourselves," midfielder Jackson said.
"People have spoken about the lack of goals but we feel that is coming, and if we win 1-0 every week we'll take that anyway.
"We certainly feel we're in a decent place and when you've got that solid defence and that stability it gives you something to build on.
"We always feel like if we get a goal we can defend a lead, not that we only want to get one every week. We want to keep going and get more and I think we will.
"Leeds are playing well but so are we so it should be a tough game. We beat them at home last year and, the place that we're in, we'll be thinking it's a winnable game for us."

Tennessee (3-2) vs. #1 LSU (6-0)
October 15, 2011- Neyland Stadium Knoxville, TN- 3:30 EDT
CBS- Vol Network
History and Stats
The Tennessee Volunteers are 20-8-3 against the LSU Tigers since 1925.
Half of the loss total has come in the last 10 years.
Each of the last 4 games (played from 2005-2010) has been decided by a touchdown or less.
Tennessee leads the series in Knoxville 11-2-1.
LSU holds the current winning streak at 3 since 2006.
Not considered a traditional SEC rivalry game, LSU and Tennessee meet every 4 years on the current rotating SEC schedule. It has become a more heated match up every year, playing LSU twice this past decade for the SEC championship in Atlanta has provided this matchup with some luster. LSU was victorious in both contests, the first in 2001 knocking the #2 Volunteers out of the National Championship game, and the second in 2007 that led to LSU's second National Championship in four years.
Twice Tennessee went to Tiger Stadium in the past decade and twice the game has gone into overtime; the first time in 2000 and once again in 2005. It's hard for Volunteers or Tigers fans to forget that Monday night after Hurricane Katrina. LSU went up big in the first half, but surrendered the lead in the second half after former Tiger and transfer QB Rick Clausen came in and led the Volunteers to an overtime victory.
The 2010 game in Baton Rouge proved to be one of the most exciting, chaotic, and improbable endings of any SEC game in recent memory. LSU walked away with a victory after time finally expired and Tennessee withdrew in shock from the field and headed back to Knoxville.
The Tennessee defense was trying to defend its goalline in the final seconds, clinging to a 14-10 lead, as players from both teams came running on and off the field.
When the fire drill ended -- with quarterback Jordan Jefferson trying to chase down a shotgun snap that sailed from the LSU one and wound up in a scrum back at the 15 -- the scoreboard showed :00 and Tennessee 14, LSU 10.
But, the clock lied.
In the end zone, there was a small yellow flag.
Th flag was on Tennessee for having not 11, not 12, but 13 men on the field for LSU's aborted final snap.
The illegal substitution penalty moved the ball inside the Tennessee one-yard line and gave LSU one more play. Given the unusual reprieve, Jefferson took the snap, wheeled and pitched to Stevan Ridley, who barreled over left guard for the game-winning touchdown. Since the PAT didn't matter in the final outcome, that really, really, ended the game, and Coach Derek Dooley and the Volunteers came away shell-shocked.
This year the No. 1 Tigers travel to Knoxville before another 4 year hiatus from the Vols.
Passing Game
The Tennessee offense takes the field with another captain at the helm this week. Senior Matt Simms may be the "new" starting quarterback Saturday but it is a position that is not unfamiliar to this particular Tennessee Vol. Taking over for prolific freshmen gunslinger, Tyler Bray, who is out for 6 weeks after breaking his thumb in the final quarter last week against Georgia, Simms started the first eight games in 2010 for Tennessee. He reassumes a position he held during the debacle in Death Valley against the Tigers last season.
Simms completed four of the six passes he threw in his drive against the Bulldogs, including a fourth-down completion to tight end Mychal Rivera that set up Simms' 1-yard touchdown on a quarterback sneak. Simms, who was sacked 28 times last season, completed 58 percent of his passes with five touchdowns and eight interceptions, when UT went 2-6 before Bray took over the position permanently in the second half of the South Carolina game.
The Vols are also missing star receiver Justin Hunter, sidelined for the season after the Florida loss. Hopefully, wideout Da'Rick Rogers will still be as effective with Simms under center.
If there were questions about youth and inexperience before, the hammer has come down hard on Rocky Top. One week ago, the passing game and Tyler Bray were the shining star of the Tennessee offense, in a matter of days, this offense is in essence starting over against the number one ranked team in the country.
Matt Simms is a confident quarterback and has the support of his teammates and coaches but this is a hard position for any player regardless of talent or experience. Hopefully the offensive line has improved in a season to allow Simms the time necessary to get the ball downfield against one of the top ranked defenses in the nation.
It's no secret that the Tigers are a running team, that is most evident in their 183.3 yards per game passing stats. They mostly work off of play action and depend more on Jarrett Lee to not make a bad decision more so than making a spectacular throw. He has obliged and completed 71 of his 118 attempts with 8 td's and only 1 interception.
With senior Jordan Jefferson slowly working his way back into a more prominent role, the LSU offense is starting to resemble a two-quarterback system.
Against the Gators, Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson combined to complete 10 of 14 passes for 215 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.
Jefferson has mostly run the ball himself or handed it off in his sporadic playing time the last two games, although he did complete 3-of-4 passes for 61 yards against Florida.
Meanwhile, Lee has two rushing carries to his credit for -15 yards.
If LSU can continue to run the ball at will, then Lee will continue to pick his spots to make opponents pay through the air – which has been successful in large part because of individual efforts from receivers Reuben Randle and Odell Beckham who have combined for 43 receptions and accounted for 6 of the 10 touchdown throws by both quarterbacks.
Advantage: Tigers
Running Game
Tennessee offensive coordinatorJim Chaney will have to find some way of turning the current Volunteer running game around. In the Vols two SEC games to date, Chaney's unit has totaled minus-29 rushing yards. Tennessee is the onlyteam in the SECaveraging less than 100 yards per game (84.8). The one dimensional UT offense was easily overshadowed by the passing game prior to UGA.
Given the current circumstances for the Volunteers, the run game has become a point of contention that if it is not stepped up in this week's game will bring woeful results in Neyland for the team, coaches and Tennessee faithful.
Tailbacks Tauren Poole and Marlin Lane combined for 42 yards on 28 carries in the two SEC losses. Lane had 84 yards on six receptions against the Bulldogs, but the highly touted freshman is still playing like a freshman.
Senior running back Tauren Poole is currently day to day with a hamstring injury though he practiced today and Dooley said he should be "ready to roll" on Saturday.
"We can't run the ball," said Coach Derek Dooley, an LSU assistant from 2000-2004. "If we can't run the ball, we can't beat good football teams. That's a fact."
This is the identity of the LSU offense. Yes, they actually have one this season. They are a bruising, downhill unit that picks up yards in bunches (4.1 yards per attempt). The LSU offense racked up 238 rushing yards, led by Spencer Ware's 109, against a Florida defense that came in ranked in the top 20 against the run Saturday.
LSU's running game, led by backs Ware and Michael Ford, have a combined 756 of the 1,101 total yards and 11 TD's on the season. Their production has been aided of late by the return of QBJefferson, who found his way into the end zone on the ground in his first action of the season last week. Ware earned playing time last season as a fullback before being given the starting running back position this year replacing Stevan Ridley. His willingness to block and make good decisions produces a deadly threat on the ground.
The Tiger rushing attack averages 183.5 yards per game, which means Tennessee's defensive front has it's work cut out for them.
Keep in mind that this offensive production is coming even though the Tigers are playing without one of their best offensive linemen, guard Josh Dworaczyk.
LSU has scored on its opening possession in all but one game this season.
Advantage: Tigers
The Tennessee defense has been good but not great. They were able to hold Georgia to just 20 points last week but gave up 33 to Florida on the road. The Volunteer defense against the Bulldogs held three 4th and short conversions to field goals last week but were unable to bounce back against big plays and costly penalties. Given LSU's propensity for bringing the big play, the Tennessee defense will have to have a big response and the execution to back it up. Middle linebacker Austin Johnson had a career high 11 tackles against Georgia but admits that the Vols, "have just got to fight back."
This Vols defense must learn to finish a game and play the full 60 minutes composed under pressure. Coach Dooley is looking for this defense to aggressively step up and "create" the big defensive plays necessary to stop the highly touted LSU offense.
The biggest weakness for the unit has been the defensive line. They have not been able to get much pressure on opposing quarterbacks and have not been particularly good at sealing the edge. They have been surprisingly sturdy at limiting yardage between the tackles though.
The defensive secondary will continue to rely on junior safety Prentiss Waggner, coming off a career-high 11 tackles in the loss to Georgia nearly forcing two turnovers against the Bulldogs, but who will have his work cut out for him against receivers Beckham and Randle of the Tigers. The bottom line is Tennessee's defense has been bend but don't break and isn't game changing. They are -1 in the turnover margin which is good enough for 9th in the SEC, whereas the Tigers are +11 and sit atop the SEC standings in that department.
The Tigers give up an average of 12.5 points, tied for eighth-best in the FBS, and rank fifth in total defense at 254.0 yards allowed per game after holding Florida to 213.
The Tigers' defense has been noteworthy so far this year. Led by sophomore cornerback Tyrann Mathieu who has as two interceptions, four forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries along with 41 total tackles to his credit, this group forces more turnovers than almost any team in the country.
LSU's defense is remarkable considering the strength of schedule to date. They have been stifling against the run, allowing only 69.2 yards per game. The Tigers have come up with eight interceptions and six fumble recoveries to date. They have also racked up 13 sacks on the season. UT's offensive line must cover this stifling defense while allowing Matt Simms ample time to make the play. There are some holes in the secondary, but they close quickly. This may be one of if not the fastest defenses Tennessee will face all season.
Special Teams
Miscues on special teams have become par for the course for the Vols this season and it was no different against Georgia. Michael Palardy missed a 51-yard field goal but connected on two others. Special teams are relied upon to get the points when the opportunity presents itself and kicking an extra point into the back of an offensive lineman was embarrassing for the team in the last game.
The one thing the Tennessee special teams has going for them is Devrin Young's return ability. Keeping the field position manageable for the most part against the Tigers is a must on Saturday.
Matt Darr continues to improve as a punter and may see more playing time than the Vols care for this week.
UT's coverage units have performed well to date but have also not been challenged week in and week out by high caliber squads bent on making aggressive plays on special teams.
LSU's special teams have been pretty solid all season, and at some points, spectacular. Kicker Drew Alleman is doing a good job replacing All-American Josh Jasper. He is 8-10 on fieldgoals with a long of 44 but has missed 2 pat's.
Punter Brad Wing has the Tiger's sitting 3rd in the league with a 40.6 yard average and really good placement. He also had a touchdown on a fake punt that was called back against Florida last week due to a controversial taunting penalty.
LSU has been ok at kick return coverage, giving up an average of 18.9 yards per return.
They are really good at punt coverage though. Opponents have averaged a measly 0.6 yards per return.
The Tigers have taken 1 kick for a touchdown so far this season and average 22.6 yards per return.
They are solid at returning punts as well, gaining 7.2 yards a touch.
Advantage: Tigers
There have been some great games between the Tigers and the Volunteers and this Saturday with be another chance to add to that history. This matchup presents itself as an opportunity for the Tennessee Volunteers to beat the number one ranked, undefeated team on its own terms inside its own house.
One thing is certain inside the Southeastern Conference and that is that the upset is always a variable and plays into any game any Saturday. While it doesn't look good on paper for the Vols there remain several intangibles to a Tennessee victory that don't rely on yards per carry or field goal percentages.
The young Volunteers walk into Neyland to give their all for a program that came very close to winning last year in Death Valley and walked out in stunned defeat. The Vols must also play not only for their own honor but for thousands of Tennessee fans who continue to stand behind their team and don the orange and white while singing Rocky Top at the top of their lungs.

Hundreds behind £18m Bath Abbey facelift
Posted: September 17, 2012|
Hundreds of people have been rallying in support of an £18 million scheme to modernise facilities at Bath Abbey.
There have been more than 300 letters of support for the abbey's Footprint development, which is currently being looked at by council planners.
A new survey of the congregation at the historic church has also shown overwhelming backing for the plans to open up extra space at vault level, and create new toilets, meeting areas and a heating system which exploits energy from the city's hot springs.
The application, based on designs by Bath architects Feilden Clegg, has been backed by the city's chamber of commerce, other local clergy, Bath Festivals, historian Dr John Wroughton, and former Tory minister Lord Cope, who lives in the city.
There has been particular backing for better disabled toilet facilities, new catering areas and meeting rooms.
The church is open seven days a week, welcomes more than 400,000 visitors a year, and is the second largest venue in the city for concerts, but has only one disabled toilet and a small kitchen.
The survey has also revealed backing for the creation of better arrangements for the abbey's choirs, with one respondent saying: "We have a world class choir with inadequate facilities."
Project director Charles Curnock said: "We want to open the church out and make it more accessible for everybody, but such is the growing demand on this magnificent medieval building that its very fabric is beginning to strain. We are aware that the abbey, blessed with superb architecture and heritage, is a great resource for Christian mission. We are also aware that with little or no change, the abbey will become increasingly impractical for its busy programme of services and events.
"The addition of much- needed space will greatly enhance the abbey's ability to serve the community, and provide a strong legacy for future generations."
The planning application is being opposed by both Bath Heritage Watchdog and the Bath Preservation Trust.
BHW said: "Overall we are disappointed in the whole application and shocked at the idea that the amount of alteration and loss of historic fabric and character would be considered acceptable by those who have stewardship as a public responsibility. It would appear in places to be a case of trying to retrofit the abbey into a concert hall and conference centre."
The trust said it supported the idea of reusing the abbey's spaces more effectively, but said changes to Kingston Buildings were unacceptable.

Social Innovation Fund Not Terribly Innovative, But Confirms That Getting Grants Is Not Like Winning an Olympic Gold Medal
August 22nd, 2010 · 2 Comments
Faithful readers will remember "Why Winning an Olympic Gold Medal is Not Like Getting a Carol M. White Physical Education Program (PEP) Grant," in which I opined that in getting grants, the race does not always belong to the swift. It seems I scooped the New York Times.

How Much Money You Should Ask For — an example from the National Mentoring Programs, with Improving Literacy Through School Libraries Program as a Bonus
August 20th, 2010 · 4 Comments
In "So, How Much Grant Money Should I Ask For?," we discussed a sometimes delicate issue for nonprofits: picking a grant request amount. Our standard answer: ask for the maximum because zeroes are cheap. Funders will sometimes cut down your budget but almost never increase it. Some obnoxious programs, however, won't tell you how much [...]

A Secret YouthBuild SMART RFP Found and a Not-So-Secret YouthBuild SGA to be Issued
August 8th, 2010 · No Comments
We've uncovered a "secret" YouthBuild RFP. Well, it is not exactly secret, but not exactly well publicized either. The FY '10 Department of Labor Appropriates Bill gave YouthBuild USA, a national nonprofit, a $10,000,000 non-competitive grant. It helps to have pals in Congress. The Department of Labor press release sounds as if YouthBuild USA will [...]

Centre for Archives and Records Research (ICARUS)
ICARUS Research Seminars
A regular informal seminar is held for academic staff, research associates, doctoral research students and others interested in the research discipline of archives and records management. We talk about a range of issues, including progress on current research projects, plans for future research, research methodologies, literature reviews, plans for research meetings and conferences. Seminars are generally held in Foster Court G31.
If you are interested in attending please contact Jenny Bunn.
The dates and times for forthcoming seminars are as follows:
25th March at 5pm in Foster Court 113
Joanne Evans, Faculty of Information Technology, Monash University
Connecting the Disconnected: Introducing a research program for co-designing socially inclusive archival and recordkeeping networks
Archives and records are the memory banks of healthy organisations, governments, communities and societies. The Connecting the Disconnected ARC Future Fellowship aims to address systemic failings of recordkeeping and archival systems to meet the identity, memory and accountability needs of individuals and communities in crisis. It will look to pioneer a new participatory methodology for archival design to deliver sustainable, dynamic, and integrated archival and recordkeeping systems. It will be developed through the co-design of an integrated archival access network for reconstructing identity and a life story archive system for children currently in care. This research aims to transform evidence and memory management systems into information infrastructure that better protects and respects human rights.
29th April at 5pm in Foster Court G31
Elizabeth Lomas: ARaDD: Arts Research and Development Defined
This research has been funded with the aims of defining research and development (R&D) for the arts and culture, capturing the reality of how R&D is articulated, delivered and valued. Relatively little theoretical and empirical research has previously been conducted into how organisations approach 'Research and Development' for the arts and culture. The work is considering the networks of R&D which build and deliver links and value across a wider range of stakeholders. The purpose of the work is to inform policy makers. The project forms part of the Digital Research and Development Fund for the Arts, an ACE, AHRC, and Nesta programme.

In Stock & Ready To Shipin_stock
A near clone of Rory's famous battle-worn Strat.
Fender Custom Shop designers met Donal Gallagher, brother of late great guitarist Rory Gallagher, in Los Angeles in 1997 and received one of the most coveted guitars of all time - Gallagher's heavily worn 1961 Stratocaster guitar. Fender initially built 40 replicas for European sale, but was subsequently besieged with requests for more. The Rory Gallagher Tribute Stratocaster guitar is an exact replica of that revered instrument, down to the extremely worn Three-color Sunburst alder body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. It even has five Sperzel tuners and one Gotoh tuner, and the 12th-fret dot marker is white plastic rather than the original clay. It also features three custom-wound '60s single-coil pickups, aged chrome hardware, 21 jumbo frets and a bone nut. Fender includes a case with the Rory Gallagher Signature Electric Guitar.
Start your own blues revolution with this amazing tribute guitar.

BULLSHIDO story. If the bear was a lost cub, MAYBE she scared it, I doubt it. Bear cubs play a little rougher than some elbow. The little bear was probably wondering why it's new play toy went running off.
I live near the Smokey Mt Nat'l Park. Black bear attacks are rare. Surviving the attack without major inury is exceptionally rare by an unarmed attackee. Let's put it into perspective. The bear "grabbed" her with it's paws. Paws equipped with essentially multiple short bladed knives pulled by more strength than any 2 men could provide. Oh, yeah, minor injuries.
And I used to wrestle lions, undefeated (20-0), zero injuries.

OSU prevails in OT
Tressel's 2002 team was undefeated going into Camp Randall and had a very similar team. Great rushing attack with a smart QB who makes plays with his legs and a defense with a stout defensive line and a shutdown corner (Gamble & Roby). Meyer & Co. have had two weeks to prepare for a one dimensional offense so if for some reason they run the ball all over us then kudos to them but I don't see that happening.
Tressel's first game inside of Camp Randall resulted in a win. Let's hope Meyer can follow suit!
In terms of the receiving corp I think Stoneburner and Fragel will give us a good enough option to throw to until we establish a solid WR for Bauserman, Guiton, whoever. Stoneburner going up against a B1G linebacker is a mismatch 90% of the time. Yeah going to the TE is boring and simplistic but with our 5 game qb it'll be a safe and effective.

Sara A. Hudson
Published on July 31, 2012
We are sorry to announce the death of a long-time English Department colleague, Sara A. Hudson, who served for many years as an Associate Professor, teaching memoir and 19th century American literature. She retired as Professor Emerita in English at Auburn, in 1986.
She earned her undergraduate degree at Chapel Hill, where she met and married—on graduation day—the poet Hayden Carruth; after serving as a WAC in World War II, she earned her graduate degrees at the University of Chicago and moved to Alabama with her young daughter, where she later married Fred Hudson, a professor in Engineering.
A former student, Marian Carcache, recalls her as "a scholar, philanthropist, mother, vocal Democrat, adventurer . . . and force to be reckoned with." Among her other works, she co-edited—with LeahRawls Atkins and Joseph Harrison—A Belle of the Fifties: Memoirs of Mrs. Clay of Alabama. Her service will be held at Pine Hill Cemetery at 4pm, Friday, August 3rd.

Bill deadlines
Deadlines are very important throughout the legislative process. Although you will learn more about committee bills and raised bills in the next chapter, the
committee deadlines
illuminate the timeline for legislative action. Deadlines are dictated by the Joint Rules.
In order for a legislator to put your good idea in writing, she or he has to request that it be drafted in bill form. (Although they pay close attention to a bill's language, legislators aren't the ones who write out the exact wording of the bills - this is done by the Legislative Commissioners' Office - LCO.) Legislators submit their bills to the clerk's office or directly request drafting from the LCO. The deadline for this first step depends if it's a long or short session:
2 weeks after the start of a long session
1 week after the start of short session
There are deadlines for requesting the drafting of committee bills:
4 weeks after the start of a long session
2 weeks after the start of a short session
There are also deadlines for requesting the drafting of raised bills:
8 weeks for a long session
4 weeks for a short session
It's True!
A Representative or Senator requesting that a bill be drafted is called the bill's
. There can be one or many sponsors of a bill. depending on how much support there is for it to pass.

Representatives from OSHA's Region VI Regional Office and
Area Offices in Louisiana and Texas responded quickly to protect workers and
others after Hurricanes Gustav and Ike hit the Gulf Coast in September 2008.
In response to Hurricane Ike, OSHA's Houston North, Houston South, and Corpus Christi Area Offices also conducted outreach to protect employees performing hurricane recovery work. Representatives from these Area Offices contacted the Incident Command Centers in affected counties and provided them with OSHA fact sheets and QuickCards related to hurricane recovery. OSHA personnel also provided technical assistance and OSHA publications at numerous sites where recovery operations were being performed, including demolition, tree trimming, roofing, and debris removal.
During their outreach activities, OSHA personnel observed many workers performing recovery work without the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE). Upon hearing about this potentially hazardous situation, Cindy Lewis, president of the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) Gulf Coast Chapter, offered to request PPE donations from ASSE members and provide the PPE to OSHA for distribution to workers. The ASSE Gulf Coast Chapter had a longstanding relationship with OSHA's Houston Area Offices, including an Alliance signed in April 2003 that concluded in May 2007.
The ASSE Gulf Coast Chapter received PPE donations from 28 members and passed the PPE to OSHA. The OSHA Area Offices distributed approximately 4,000 items of PPE to workers conducting Hurricane Ike recovery operations. The PPE included hard hats, Class II reflective vests, safety glasses, and leather gloves. OSHA staff reported that employers and workers who received the PPE were generally very thankful.
For more information, contact Alex Novas, Region VI CAS, Baton Rouge Area Office, or Mark Hernandez, Region VI CAS, Houston South Area Office.
As of December 2008 (updated May 2009).
