Za'atar Zucchini :
When the garden is bursting with fresh veggies, cook up Za'atar Zucchini for an aromatic side dish with dinner. The mixture of thyme and sesame seeds gives the zucchini a distinctive zesty flavor. A touch of extra virgin olive oil keeps this dish on the light side so you can enjoy the simplicity of flavors as mother nature intended.
Za'atar is popular in the Middle East and is ideal for grilling and roasting meats and vegetables of all kinds. We sauteed the zucchini in this recipe, try roasting your favorite garden vegetables for a deeper flavor at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.
This is Z Squared.
Za'atar Zucchini
2 Medium zucchini diced
2 Teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
2 Teaspoons USimplySeason Za'atar Spice Blend
1/4 Teaspoon USimplySeason Fumee De Sel Smoked Sea Salt
Add olive oil to pan over medium heat, slowly stir in diced zucchini with USimplySeason Za'atar Spice Blend (use more or less to taste). Add a pinch of USimplySeason Fumee De Sel Smoked Sea Salt for added flavor. Sautee for about 5 minutes. Smile and enjoy.

Where have all the Sawmills Gone?
Posted 10 February 2012 - 07:45 AM
Maybe I just don't know how to look. I search lumber mill and sawmill and am just not finding any good leads close by.
The question is this:
Is there a good online source for finding lumber mills and hardwood supply houses?
Does anyone happen to know a good one in my vicinity (SW Missouri, NE Oklahoma, SE Kansas, NW Arkansas)?
Thanks for any help I can get...

California Dreaming....[Cal-i-fornia Dreamin']
Same type of pictures here Dozier. In the coastal SC part of the world, everything is fuel and paper. International paper uses pine trees for fuel (chips) and making paper. Santee Cooper and other plants use chips for firing boilers. Result is a lot of land is used to grow a 'super pine' that's basically planted and harvested in 15 years. Occasionally, someone cuts some old timber from family land and you'll see a truck carrying it to a mill but it's getting more rare. If the rest of the country is anything like SC, we could be in for a shortage of the basics in a few years - maples, oaks, walnut, and even yellow pine. I can't speak for you guys in other places like Pennsylvania or Oregon who have different woods and maybe more mature forests; but I am concerned. I've often thought if I had the acreage, plant hardwoods with the idea harvesting in x# of years. Unfortunately, no one looks that far ahead or if you do, you don't have the financial soundness to tie up 50 acres for 30 years. Here, those who have the land just plant them in pines or they plant a "U-Pickem" peach orchard or strawberry field and make a little money through the years. Thanks for the help on sources though. I've marked each one of them and if anyone reading has others, please share.

50 acres of straight, tall, straight Walnut trees and Maple trees about 48" at the butt. Ohhhh mama....
tim that reminds me back in the day a old wood worker i know that the custom was to plant walnut trees on the land and then harvest them when they retire to use as a bonus. maybe we should start a group to grow seedling and plant them randomly so that in 50 years if not us then someone can havest them. like johny apple seed......would like to see more the of the huge apple trees not just the dwarfs.

I knew a guy that as each of his children were born, he planted 10 acres of trees. He lost about 10% along the way. As each child got married, he harvested the trees and gave them the money as a wedding present. He averaged about $10,000 per child. Can't remember what kind of trees though.
SO saying people get married around the early twenties....what kinds of hardwoods would be grown up enough in that time span to use? I hear that COttonwood can grow up to 8' a year...but how is it for woodworking?

Hmm, seems like it would work well, but be stinky in the process... silly Chinese trees...
Posted 23 February 2012 - 05:06 PM
But, as far as stinky Chinese trees go, I'll take an Ailanthus over a Ginko any day. The male Ginko is OK, but around here the females are called vomit-berry trees. When those things are dropping fruit you don't want to be anywhere near them.

Everywhere Justin Bieber shows up you can expect a host of screaming young girls hoping to have one glance at the 18-year-old heartthrob. But young girls aren't the only admirers of the pop sensation. When Bieber stopped by The View the admiration of the hosts was as obvious as his teeny bopper fans. Biebs kept it simple for his performance of the ballad "Die In Your Arms," which seems to be the fan favorite from his album. Instead of gliding across the stage as he did for "Boyfriend," he sits on a stool next to his guitar player and sings. The girls in the audience cry, sing along and reach out to touch him.
Busy promoting the album Billboard is predicting to reach No. 1, Bieber also stopped by the MTV offices where he performed "Die In Your Arms" in front of another group of fans that looked like they were in heaven. Similar to his set on The View s he opted out of putting on a huge show and instead focused on the vocals and emotion of the love song. Just showing up when you're Justin Bieber is enough for people to scream for excitement. Singing "Die In Your Arms" to a group that probably imagines he's singing to them is a mere bonus.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
The nice lady in charge of the student newspaper approached me Thursday morning and wanted a picture of me as a child. It seems that her news staff is running a feature on "Teachers Back When." I guess they want to humanize us and show the students what we looked like before we grew horns and forked tails and developed eyes in the backs of our heads.My promise to "look for one this weekend" was met with a look of disappointment, not joy. "Let me guess," I said. "You need it tomorrow." I'm glad that I am not the only teacher who is as big a procrastinator as my students. I went right home after school and began to look for a suitable picture. To my dismay, I couldn't find one. Now there were pictures taken of me when I was a child. Not many, understand, but there were some. When I was a baby my mother joined an Olan Mills Memory Club that I am sure she couldn't afford and got an 8x10 matte finished portrait of me and my sister every 12 months. There were some pretty nice pictures of me in that Olan Mills album. I was a cute baby, even if I do say so myself. That album is gone, however. It was ruined two summers ago when our house flooded, while we were away on a three-week camping trip in the Pacific Northwest. There were other pictures of me as a child, of course. Mama always bought the school pictures every year and she had a Kodak camera, too - a little box job that you held at waist level. The view finder was on top. Film was expensive, though, and processing even more so. We didn't take a lot of pictures. When we did it was a special occasion - like Christmas or Easter. I don't remember seeing very many Christmas pictures of myself. There was one where I was wearing a cowboy hat and playing a Roy Rogers guitar and another where I had on a dress and bonnet. I wouldn't have minded my students seeing a picture of me dressed up like Roy Rogers, but I wasn't about to turn over the one in the dress. It didn't matter. I couldn't find either of those pictures, either. I suppose they fell victim to the same flood. Finally, after rummaging through many boxes and drawers I found a picture of myself that I believed would be appropriate for our school newspaper. On the back, in my mother's handwriting, was written "Darrell. First Grade." I guess my mama was afraid she would forget who I was or something so she identified the picture by writing my name on back. I'm glad she did. There are days - many days - when I seem to forget who I am. I spent a lot of time looking at the photograph, and even though it was taken way back in 1958 I remember the event as if it were yesterday. My first-grade teacher's name was Ruby Jordon, and I thought she hung the moon. I loved her as much as a 6-year-old boy can love a 65-year-old woman who is not related to him. Miss Jordon told us a day ahead of time that we were having our class pictures made and that she wanted us to all look nice for the picture. I was pretty sure that "looking nice" was her way of saying "dress up for the picture." Now most of us boys at Porterdale School wore the same overalls to school every day. By Friday the knees would had gotten a little grimy from playing marbles all week, but every boy's knees were as grimy as every other boy's knees, so it didn't matter. I wasn't about to show up at school in my overalls when my teacher had instructed me to look nice for a picture. But the clothes I owned, other than my overalls, was the outfit I wore to church. On the night before the school picture, I snuck my church clothes out of the chifforobe and put them in a brown grocery sack. That night I hid the grocery bag under the house. The next morning I retrieved the bag before leaving for school. I changed clothes on my way to school, under the Yellow River bridge and hid my overalls in some bushes. It was worth the effort because Miss Jordon beamed at me when I showed up in my Sunday clothes for the picture. The problem was, I knew I wasn't supposed to be wearing my suit coat, which happened to be wool, so I refused to take it off all day. It was a hot day, too, and there was no air conditioning back in 1958. I wore the coat straight through recess and lunch and was burning up by the time we had our beauty struck - which explains why my hair looks like it is glued to my face In the picture. Precious memories. And for the record, when I got to the bridge after school my everyday clothes were still there, and I got my church clothes back in the chifforobe without incident. But when that picture came home and Mama found out what I had done, well, let's just say those memories weren't quite so precious. Darrell Huckaby is a local author and educator.

Alma Mater: Michigan State (B.A., 2003); Wayne State (M.A., 2005); Michigan State (M.S., 2008)
Roosevelt University Head Men's Basketball Coach Joe Griffin enters his fifth season at the helm of the Lakers, positioning his team for its best season yet in 2014-15 as he continues his reconstruction efforts in a program that was dormant for 21 years.
Named the fourth head coach in school history on August 17, 2009 and the first since the Roosevelt University Athletic Department was restarted that year, Griffin has quickly cemented his reputation as a tireless recruiter, dedicated instructor and razor-sharp in-game tactician.
The Lakers are fresh off the best showing in modern program history. In 2013-14, Griffin guided the squad to 16 wins and, more remarkably considering an injury to star forward Jeremiah Jackson, a milestone berth to the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) Final Four. The Lakers advanced to the league semifinals, the farthest a Roosevelt squad has ventured in a CCAC tourney, and stood just a win away from earning an inaugural berth to the NAIA Division II Men's Basketball National Championship. Griffin's Green and White team also garnered early-season votes in the NAIA Top 25, another first for the program that signified the arrow is pointing up for the Lakers.
Roosevelt started 2013-14 with seven consecutive NAIA wins and weathered storms involving injuries and close losses to nationally-ranked teams to finish with two gritty overtime wins in the CCAC Tournament, including a quarterfinal road victory at perennial power Olivet Nazarene. Buoyed by CCAC leading assist man Tyree York, who garnered All-CCAC Honorable Mention recognition for the second straight season by leading the league with 6.2 helpers per contest, the Lakers were in prime position for a first-ever national berth but fell to eventual CCAC champion Saint Xavier in the final stages of their semifinal matchup.
2013-13 was also a huge step forward for Griffin's third-year program. Led by All-CCAC Honorable Mention sophomores in York and Jackson to go with Brandyn Denson's senior leadership and sophomore Joe Harks' team-leading scoring output, the Lakers won 15 games, marking the first time the team registered double-digit wins. Roosevelt posted more victories in 2012-13 than the previous two seasons combined, with the Lakers continuing their upward trend by increasing their wins and winning percentage for a third consecutive year.
The 2011-12 season was a great success for the Lakers in only their second season of play, going 9-20 overall, good for a five-win improvement. The Lakers finished second in the conference in opponent three-point field goal percentage and second overall in offensive rebounding, confirming their style as aggressive and always on the attack. Roosevelt also finished third in the conference in steals and in defensive rebounding percentage. The Lakers were led by seniors Paul Tometich and Mark Tometich, with Paul earning Second Team All-CCAC and Mark earning Honorable Mention All-CCAC. They were joined in recognition by Denson, who was voted Second Team All-CCAC as well. The Lakers recorded signature wins at home over Ashford and conference rival St. Francis, while playing an ultra-competitive schedule, including three NCAA Division I exhibitions.
From the time Griffin was hired until the Lakers' first game on Nov. 3, 2010, Griffin built a squad in less than 12 months that took to the hardwood for the first time since 1989 and quickly proved they belonged. Just 10 games into the 2010-11 campaign, the Lakers recorded a signature win with an 89-78 triumph over defending CCAC Tournament Champion Saint Xavier. Griffin's coaching acumen was evident in the development of his student-athletes over the course of the year, including junior guard Paul Tometich, who blossomed into one of the league's top players. Under Griffin's tutelage, Tometich led the CCAC in scoring at 21.4 points per game, while also ranking in the top 10 in rebounding and assists en route to All-League honors.
Under Griffin's leadership, Roosevelt men's basketball has been predicated on hard work and success in various facets on and off the court. Defense. Rebounding. Academics, as proven by his team's last two spring semesters of combined GPAs of 3.0 or better. A complete and well-rounded student-athlete experience.
In addition to promoting commitment to basketball and academics, Griffin is a major proponent of giving back to the community. He has engaged his team in numerous volunteering and community service e efforts, including a basketball clinic in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood as part of a partnership with the Chicago Police Department that earned recognition from the CPD and the 7th District Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy (C.A.P.S.) Office and annual participation in Coaches vs. Cancer activities. His emphasis on camaraderie has been shown with his team's presence at various Roosevelt athletic and campus events to support fellow Lakers and campus units.
Griffin joined Roosevelt after spending the 2008-09 season as an assistant at NCAA Division II Eastern New Mexico University. The 34-year old Michigan native learned his trade, though, under the tutelage of Michigan State Head Coach Tom Izzo, serving for two seasons (2006-08) as a graduate assistant coach for the Spartans.
At Michigan State, Griffin played pivotal roles for the Spartans in the areas of player development, strength and conditioning, opponent and self-scouting, travel, film exchange and recruiting. In his two seasons with the Spartans, Griffin aided Michigan State to 50 wins and back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the 'Sweet 16' in 2008.
Griffin's coaching philosophy, which emphasizes defense and rebounding, was reflected in the Spartans' play during his tenure. The squad led the Big Ten in rebounding margin and was amongst the nation's leaders in field goal percentage defense each year. Griffin helped in the development of many former and current Michigan State standouts during his tenure, including NBA Draft pick Goran Suton (2009 All-Big Ten), Travis Walton (2009 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year), Raymar Morgan (2008 All-Big Ten), Drew Neitzel (2008 All-Big Ten, All-America Second Team), and Kalin Lucas (2009 Big Ten Player of the Year).
Griffin obtained his second graduate degree in 2008, a Master of Science in Coaching at Michigan State. He was also a guest instructor within the Kinesiology department of the College of Education and a featured speaker at the 2008 Spartan Strength & Conditioning Clinic.
Griffin was born in Flint and later graduated from Romeo High School in Romeo, Mich. Griffin went on to play two seasons at St. Clair County Community College in Port Huron, Mich., before heading to Michigan State, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Advertising in 2003.
Griffin's next stop was graduate school at Wayne State University in Detroit, Mich, earning a Master of Arts in Sports Administration and taking his first coaching job, leading the freshman team and assisting the varsity team at Stoney Creek High School in Rochester Hills, Mich., during the 2004 and 2005 seasons.
Griffin headed to Jacksonville, Fla., for one year as assistant varsity boys basketball coach and English teacher at Sandalwood High School before returning to his home state to take the graduate assistant position for Coach Izzo.
Griffin is a member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) as well as the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association (IBCA) and has worked and been involved with numerous basketball camps and clinics throughout the country. He is also the 2014-15 CCAC men's basketball sport chair.
He and his wife, Suzanne, live in Oak Park, Ill. The couple has one son, Jackson Joseph, and a daughter, Colleen.
Aaron Rolle enters his fourth season as an assistant coach for the Roosevelt men's basketball team and his second full year as the program's top assistant to head coach Joe Griffin.
After serving as a volunteer assistant since the 2011-12 campaign, Rolle seamlessly transitioned into a greater role with the Lakers in the middle of the 2012-13 season after former top assistant Kevin Devitt earned an opportunity to join the staff of NCAA Division I program UAB. Rolle proved to be a steady source of leadership for Griffin during a season in which Roosevelt won more games than the previous two seasons combined.
Rolle continued to make an impact on the program in his first full year as lead assistant coach. His coaching acumen helped propel the Lakers to a modern era school-best 16 wins and a first-ever trip to the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament Final Four in 2013-14.
"Aaron is a natural teacher and a great role model for our guys," said Griffin. "Aaron's strongest attributes are in his ability to relate to our players, recruits, and all stakeholders in our program."
Rolle, who turns 31 in October, has helped position the Lakers for another step forward in 2014-15. He was the lead recruiter in landing Bolingbrook standout Joshua Dillingham and has helped in the development of the Lakers' returning corps of veteran contributors with skill sessions, weight training, and other facets that have improved his team's student-athletes and, as a result, the Lakers' chances of improving off of last season's success.
Prior to joining Griffin's staff in 2011-12, Rolle served as an assistant coach at Sterling High School in his hometown of Sterling, Ill. during the 2010-11 season. He was the head freshman and varsity assistant coach for Dixon High School for the 2008-09 campaign.
Rolle graduated from DePaul University in 2008 and has worked numerous camps and clinics, including the Reebok Headliner Camp, since leaving Lincoln Park. He recently worked at Lutheran Social Services of Illinois as a Residential Treatment Specialist before becoming a full-time assistant coach at Roosevelt.
In addition to his coaching duties, Rolle also directs Roosevelt's intramural and recreational programming at the Chicago campus and has increased the University's intramural offerings with 5-on-5 basketball leagues, special recreational events and a partnership with Columbia College Chicago that involves cross-promotional events and classes at both campuses and across the Chicago area.
Rolle is a member of the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association (IBCA). He lives in Chicago.

Conservatism and Freedom
To the Editor:
In the New York Herald Tribune of October 9, Professor Crane Brinton notes that an ignorance of the Srbik documentation has resulted in "the standard American textbook notion of Prince Metternich" as "the tyrant who tried to turn the clock back in 1814. . . . The defense of Metternich has long been needed." This "standard textbook notion of Metternich" is nowhere better illustrated than in Gertrude Himmelfarb's analysis in the January COMMENTARY ["The Prophets of the New Conservatism"] of my recent Scribners book Conservatism Revisited. Liberalism is an optimistic, unhistorical doctrine of half-truths which I infinitely prefer to the whole-lies of the Hitler-style or Stalin-style fascists, against whom liberals and conservatives must today unite to survive; and the liberal ideal is an open mind, ever eager to let new evidence revise "standard notions." Here Miss Himmelfarb is not liberal enough. A liberal open mind toward my Metternich documentation (much of it available in English for the first time) would require her either to disprove the evidence as forgeries—in which case she would strike a brilliant blow against conservatism—or accept the logic of this evidence and change her mind about Metternichian conservatism. She does neither.
Writing on Metternich as if the secret Hapsburg archives had never been opened after 1918, she ignores his far-sighted projects—vetoed by a reactionary emperor—to "reconcile the monarchist principle and the democratic" and to reform the Hapsburg Empire by a freer constitution, an embryonic representative parliament, and a solution of the nationalities problem through greater home rule (especially in Italy) and greater education. Though Metternich made inexcusable errors, which my book stresses rather than whitewashes, he was preferable to his main opponents, the German nationalists like Jahn and Jordan, from whose "Germanic mission" to conquer "inferior" races the Hitler movement descended.
Again, she fails to refute my documentation on 1848, Jordan, and the Jahn youth movement and instead repeats the old myth that Metternich's main opponents were Western-style liberals, opposing him for freedom's sake. His main opponents opposed him because he was not "tyrannic" enough, because he stood for peace instead of nationalist war, for tolerant cosmopolitan Europeanism instead of the dictatorship, anti-Semitism, and bloodthirsty territorial conquests advocated by Jahn, of whom Hans Kohn (leading historian of that period) says in the October Review of Politics: ". . . none had a stronger influence on the practical manifestations of German nationalism." In contrast, she dismisses Hitler's influential ancestor Jahn as merely "an aberration of the time." Heine, though just as ardently liberal as Miss Himmelfarb, knew better. Of the anti-Metternichian rebels, he said in 1823: "Although I am a Radical in England and a Carbonarist in Italy, I am no Demagogue in Germany for the entirely accidental reason that, with the triumph of the latter, several thousand Jewish heads, and precisely the best ones, would fall."
And did fall; which is why Conservatism Revisited is as much a book on the origins of Nazism as on Metternich. While your 1950 reviewer stresses the democratic element (doubtless present, too) in the German rebels, Heine in 1834 saw in them "demoniac energies, that brutal German joy in battle, the insane Berserker rage, Thor leaping to life with his giant hammer." . . . "I have a feeling of tenderness," wrote Heine, "for Metternich."
She is right in contrasting with Metternich her culture-hero, the "Presumptuous Man," but wrong in identifying him with democracy. Presumptuous Man, through whom the liberals unintentionally prepare the fascism they sincerely detest, demolishes society's ethical dikes against fascism by his nihilistic relativism. If, as most liberals do, you accept Rousseau's un-Freudian natural-goodness-of-man, then only good can come from Presumption's mockery of all established restraints. But if, as conservatives do, you see politics as the secularization of the "Id" or of Original Sin, then the perfect Presumptuous Man is—Jack the Ripper, who was undoubtedly "emancipated from old-fashioned conventions," a courageous "defier of traditional restraints." Against her Presumptuous Man, I suggest coining the phrase "the Reverent Man," whose "bigoted" reverence for the laws of mutual tolerance, self-restraint, and Christian-Judaic ethics makes a better basis for a free democracy than the shallow economic determinism and the "Anything Goes" relativism of our Progressive Presumers. Humanist conservatism means that freedom-building reverence of which Herman Melville wrote:
Not magnitude, not lavishness,
But Form—the site;
Not innovating wilfulness,
But reverence for the Archetype.

To the Editor:
Your kind suggestion that I comment on Miss Himmelfarb's review of my book Power came as a surprise. The critics' task is to correct authors, and authors have no business correcting critics—least of all when they display as much learning and courtesy as Miss Himmelfarb. Should the author feel that his position has been misunderstood, the conclusion he must draw is that he did not make it clear enough, and he should write another book rather than reply.
Since, however, you invite my comments, I offer them here as a token of my interest in Miss Himmelfarb's thinking. I am grateful to Miss Himmelfarb for defining her terms, a precaution too often overlooked. To her a conservative wants to preserve an actual historical situation which he judges to be good (page 82); he distrusts free inquiry and tries to limit man's reason (page 86); above all he is shocked by the man who professes to be the sole judge of his own actions, and seeks to curb him (page 78).
If that is indeed what a conservative is, I do not understand why Miss Himmelfarb includes me among the "prophets" of a New Conservatism. I hold that coercion is inherently unclean and taints those who perform it. I hold that power (i.e., the means to coerce) is inherently dangerous, and tempts those who wield it. I admit that power and coercion are necessary in human society. But they should be kept within the strict bounds of bare necessity. And those who exercise power or act coercively should be in perpetual fear of misusing their damning weapons. I distrust the pretexts invoked to extend power beyond necessity, such as the delusion of mission or the fiction of mandate.
I believe that man, guided by prayer and by reason, should be the chooser of his own actions; that he may trust to his reason because it is warranted by faith; that the light of reason comes from God who could not wish to mislead us. Tom from its roots, however, reason becomes a mere instrument of the desires it was meant to rule over.
I recognize that social man—and man cannot help being social—must submit to many and great restraints of his freedom. This is to be accepted but not disguised. I will bow to any well-grounded restrictions on liberty, but will not have them called new freedoms. . . .
When the monstrous growth of public power is defended on the grounds that the monstrous growth of social concentrations of power calls for an ever stronger control, I reply: "Give ordinary men the tools and they will do the work." Give them credit, an honest currency, less taxation, free judicial assistance, and free access to the courts, so that they may use the might of justice in their own name. Create conditions that make it easier for them to stand up by themselves and for themselves—instead of inducing them to hide behind the skirts of the state. . . .
We have turned our backs upon liberty. But I am not such a pessimist as Miss Himmelfarb takes me to be: the spirit of liberty will arise.

The former Olympic Champion and World Record holder in the 100 meter sprint Maurice Greene is a devoted boxing fan who has attended many world championship fights live and has met and befriended many boxers, including Mike Tyson who he once ran into while shopping.
Known as one of the greatest sprinters ever after winning the 2000 Olympic 100 final and setting the world record of 9.79, Greene is also known as one of the most entertainingly colorful characters of track and field. After one spectacular sprint on national TV, Greene quickly removed his running spikes and had a friend run out on track and use a fire extinguisher to cool them off, suggesting he had run so fast his feet were on fire. The Kansas City native Greene also wore a body tattoo that stated simply GOAT (Greatest of all time).
In the 100 meters, Greene undoubtedly was one of the finest athletes in history. He won four Olympic medals including a bronze in the 2004 100, was a five-time world champion, won three golds at the 1999 World Championships, won the 1999 World Indoor championship. He retired from athletics in 2008 and currently coaches and takes care of business interests.
Now 39, Greene, who appeared on "Dancing With The Stars" (he took fifth place), took time out at the recent Diamond League Adidas track and field event in New York City to talk about his love for boxing…
Ringobserver.com: What is your first memory of boxing?
Maurice Greene: "It would have to be seeing videos of Muhammad Ali boxing."
Ringobserver.com: What is the appeal of boxing for you?
Maurice Greene: "It's a glamorized sport. The Heavyweight Championship fights always get a lot of big press and I guess, just to see two men get in the ring and to give their all for – what they used to go – 15 rounds is pretty tough."
Ringobserver.com: Were you at ringside for any Heavyweight Championship fights?
Maurice Greene: "Oh yes, I've been to a couple of them, couple of Mike Tyson, Tyson-Holyfield the first one. I've been to so many boxing matches."
Ringobserver.com: What's a standout memory of being there live at ringside?
Maurice Greene: "It's just the whole atmosphere is very thick. It reminds me of when I'm walking into the stadium during the Olympics, the atmopshere. Just to be around all the excitement is great."
Ringobserver.com: Your favorite boxers of all time?
Maurice Greene: "Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Roy Jones, Trinidad. Now I like to watch Pacquiao and Mayweather."
Ringobserver.com: Who's gonna win that fight – if it ever happens?
Maurice Greene: "Geesh (rolls eyes)!! I don't know, you know, I mean."
Ringobserver.com: Do you want to see it?
Maurice Greene: "Of course I want to see it. But, I mean, it's hard to say who's gonna win. Mayweather is a defensive fighter. Pacquiao is an offensive fighter. I think whoever goes with the best gameplan basically. It's gonna be tough."
Ringobserver.com: Who are some of the boxers you have been lucky to meet?
Maurice Greene: "Oh, I met 'em all. Basically, I've met 'em all. Everybody is different outside the arena, I got to see the person they are outside the ring."
Ringobserver.com: Do you have a Tyson behind the scenes memory?
Maurice Greene: "We were really cool. We were in New York one time. I was in – I can't remember the store – but we were just in there shopping. And we just ran into each other. Hey, Mo Greene! So it was really cool."
Ringobserver.com: What do you think the sport needs to do to get back on top of the mainstream?
Maurice Greene: "Like every other sport, you gotta have the great matchups. You have to get people to go out there and publicize it a lot more. Just like every sport that has a hard time. The more good publicity you can get the sport, the better it is."
Ringobserver.com: Did boxing inspire you in your career?
Maurice Greene: "Of course it did. I guess that's why I kept pacing back and forth (before getting in the starting blocks), they always used to say I looked like a boxer on the track, so it was good."
Ringobserver.com: Which boxers do you think would have made great track and field athletes, if any?
Maurice Greene: "I'm not for sure about sprinters. But when you have the heart of a boxer, when you have the competitive factor comes in, they are athletes. So who knows what they could have done."
Ringobserver.com: Do any boxers remind you of yourself?
Maurice Greene: "All the great ones [laughs]!"
Later during the day I overheard Greene make this interesting quote about U.S. sprinters regaining world honors from the current Jamaican domination by Usain Bolt, which could also be applied to boxing: "The heart of a champion is never how you win, it's how you come back from a loss."

Las Brisas supporters, opponents debate mercury limits
Proposed permit would allow plant to emit twice as much mercury as recently permitted White Stallion Energy Center plant
AUSTIN - Las Brisas Energy Center and its opponents presented witnesses Monday who disagreed whether the power plant's mercury pollution limit is low enough.
David Cabe, an environmental engineer, testified for Las Brisas that the mercury limit meets all state regulations. The plant would be allowed to emit about one pound of mercury for every 10,000 tons of petroleum coke burned.
"There is simply no question that we are dealing with a very high level of emissions control and extremely low levels of emissions that will be protective of human health and the environment," Cabe testified.
However, Ron Sahu testified for opponent Environmental Defense Fund that the limit is higher than should be allowed.
Las Brisas' proposed permit would allow it to emit twice as much mercury as the recently permitted White Stallion Energy Center plant in Matagorda County, which has comparable technology. Cabe said this is because Las Brisas assumed its petroleum coke would have more mercury than White Stallion's. Sahu testified Las Brisas used flawed data and the limit should be much lower.
The testimony came on the first day of the second hearing to gather evidence on the air permit for Las Brisas, a proposed $3 billion, petroleum coke-fired power plant on the Corpus Christi Inner Harbor.
The expert witnesses also disagreed on the benefits of a provision in the permit that would require Las Brisas to lower the mercury limit if it performs at lower levels. The provision would kick in if actual emissions are half the permitted levels.
Cabe said the provision is a way for the public to be assured the permit will limit mercury. Sahu said it should be unnecessary because the limit should be set low.
"It just seems like a convoluted way with a lot more traps and pitfalls," Sahu said. "Why don't you just set the permit limit right in the first place?"
The contested case hearing gives opponents the chance to question aspects of the permit application, such as pollution limits and control technologies. The burden of proof is on the company to show its plant meets all requirements.
Environmental groups presented their cases against it during a two-week hearing last November. The two judges overseeing that hearing, Tommy Broyles and Craig Bennett, recommended the permit either be denied or sent back to state environmental staff for more work.
Instead, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality commissioners, who have final say on the permit, sent it back to the judges to hear more evidence on several specific points. That hearing started Monday in Austin and is expected to last four days.
The mercury limit was one of the specific points for review, along with emissions from handling materials such as limestone and petroleum coke.
Frank Brogan, deputy director of engineering, finance and administration for the Port of Corpus Christi, also testified Monday for Las Brisas. He entered pre-filed testimony saying the port might have to get a new state permit or amend its current one to accommodate Las Brisas. He answered few questions from opponents' attorneys.
Brogan also testified the port lowered the amount of particulate matter — pollution made up of tiny particles — it was allowed to emit while handling customers' materials. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality approved the change in May. Brogan said the change was made in response to concerns from Las Brisas opponents, but it more accurately reflects the port's emissions.
The judges plan to issue their recommendation to environmental commissioners by Dec. 10. The company has expressed concern that the permit be issued by Jan. 2, when federal regulation of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide could go into effect.

You are working in a rural ER in a mountain resort town. A family of four is brought in because they have headache, nausea and malaise without syncope or chest pain. Following a thorough history and physical examination you quickly note the cause of the illness is carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning from a faulty heat generator. The closest HBO chamber is 300 miles away.
Another extremely busy day, but you feel a small sense of achievement as you prepare to discharge an 87-year old man with mild lower leg cellulitis. Your euphoria quickly evaporates as the nurse tells you that several family members are concerned that the patient has recently been demonstrating increasing signs of cognitive dysfunction.
A helpful application of the Canadian C-Spine Decision Rule, or an onerous malpractice risk?
You recently read a debate on the new American Heart Association guidelines for CPR on the blog WhiteCoat's Call Room. Not long after, your local EMS director asks for your opinion about the evidence supporting compression-only CPR (COCPR) for witnessed cardiac arrest victims outside the hospital.
As you polish off the documentation on your last five patients, the nurse for the closed femur fracture patient asks if you are ready for the pending reduction. Orthopedic surgery is patiently waiting, and the nurse has the Propofol that you requested at the bedside.

South Dakota Firm Pays $1,225 to Settle Seed Case
Release No.: 167-13
Nadine Wilkins (202) 720-8998
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, 2013 The U.S. Department of Agricultures Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) announced that L. W. Sales Inc., Groton, S.D., has paid $1,225 to settle alleged violations of the Federal Seed Act.
This settlement resolves one case involving a shipment of proso millet seed to Georgia. The alleged violations were as follows:
-false labeling as to the percentage of weed seed;
-false labeling as to rate of noxious-weed seed;
-failure to test for germination prior to shipping in interstate commerce; -failure to include the complete name and address of the interstate shipper, or in lieu thereof, the name and address of the consignee together with a code designation issued by this Department identifying the interstate shipper; and
-failure to keep or supply records of the seed, as required by the Federal Seed Act.
The company settled the case in agreement with AMS officials. The company neither admitted nor denied the charges brought against them.
The Federal Seed Act regulates the interstate shipment of agricultural and vegetable seeds to ensure that seed shipped in interstate commerce is truthfully labeled, and that advertisements about the seed are truthful. This allows seed buyers to make informed choices and promotes fair competition within the seed trade. AMS administers the Federal Seed Act by leveraging its resources with State departments of agriculture. These investigations were a result of joint efforts with seed regulatory officials in Georgia. By working collaboratively with State partners, the Federal Seed Act also helps promote uniformity among State laws and fair competition within the seed trade.

Derby County clash a "massive game", says Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson
Posted: January 09, 2014|
LEICESTER City manager Nigel Pearson is preparing for a "massive game" against East Midlands rivals Derby County at the King Power Stadium on Friday night.

"It's a massive game for us, because we've worked exceptionally hard to put ourselves in this situation - and it's got the added spice of being a local derby," said Pearson.
"It's an early kick-off compared to the rest of the league programme, so both sides will see it with as an opportunity.
