Local History Notes:
The First Arkansan
When Marquette and de Tonti visited Arkansas, the territory was occupied by two great tribes of Indians -- the Quapaws and the Osages. The Arkansas River separated them, the Quapaws living south, and the Osages, north of that stream. The Quapaws were known also by another name, Arkansas, which, as we have said, was early given by the French to the region around our largest river and to the river itself.
The 1854 Gazetteer of the United States by Thomas Baldwin shows:
ARKANSAS, generally classed as one of the Western states, but having for the most part the soil and products of the Southern, is bounded on the N. by Missouri, E. by Missouri and the Mississippi river, (which separates it from the states of Tennessee and Mississippi,) S. by Louisiana and Texas, and W. by Texas and Indian territory. It lies between 33° and 36° 30´ N. lat., and between 89° 45´ and 94° 40´ W. lon.; being about 240 miles in length from N. to S., and 224 in breadth from E. to W.; and including an area of near 52,198 square miles, or 33,406,720 acres, only 781,531 of which were improved in 1850.

A Biography of George Izard
George Izard, governor of Arkansas Territory, was born in London, England, Oct. 21, 1776; son of Ralph and Alice (De Lancey) Izard. He was brought to America by his parents in 1780, and was prepared for college in South Carolina. He was graduated at the College of Pennsylvania in 1792; studied military science in England and on the continent, 1792-94; entered the U.S. army as lieutenant in the engineer corps, serving 1794-96; served as lieutenant in the engineer corps of the French army at Metz, as a student, 1796-97; was captain in the engineer corps, U.S.A., 1799-1802, and captain U.S. artillery, 1802-03, when he resigned his commission. He was secretary of legation at the court of Lisbon, Portugal, through the request of Thomas Sumter, U.S. minister, 1809-11. He re-entered the U.S. army in 1812 as colonel of the 2d artillery, and was made a brigadier-general in 1813 and major-general in 1814. He commanded the Department of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware in 1812; the 3d military district, with New York as headquarters, 1813; a brigade under Gen. Wade Hampton at Chateaugay river, Lake Champlain, N.Y., in October, 1813, and in the retreat of Hampton's army was commended for the skill with which he handled his brigade. On May 4, 1814, he took command of the Division of the Right, with headquarters at Plattsburg, N.Y. He had in August about 7000 raw recruits, which he drilled and had under so good discipline as to make the place safe against the British army of 30,000 men under Prevost, all regulars and veterans of European wars. He was ordered to Sacket Harbor and Niagara with 4000 of his men and marched them 400 miles over bad roads and joined Gen. Jacob Brown. With their combined forces they crossed the Niagara river and found General Drummond entrenched behind the Chippewa. He offered battle on the plain, which was declined, and fearing the approach of winter and being weak in artillery, he declined to attack the entrenched army. After destroying Fort Erie, he evacuated the peninsula and his action was approved by the war department and by the President, while Generals Armstrong and Ingersoll criticised his military judgment. He resigned from the army in 1815, and on March 4, 1825, President Adams appointed him governor of Arkansas Territory, which office he held till his death. He was elected a member of the American Philosophical society in 1807.

COLLAPSIBLE CONTAINER Filed Feb. 2, 1959 IN VENTOR.
ML M0 F M05451? 3,014,516 CQLLAPSHBLE CONTAINER William F. Mueller, 5405 Auro Ave., Tarzana, Calif. Filed Feb. 2, 1959, Ser. No. 790,659 3 Claims. (Cl. 159-59) The present invention relates to containers and more particularly to a collapsible or compressible container which in its collapsed or compressed form is of a size and shape convenient to be merchandised as a carry-out item and which in its non-collapsed or uncompressed state forms a container which will withstand substantial misuse and abuse.
In most municipalities, trash for pick-up at the home or business establishment must be placed in containers before the pick-up agency will handle the same. These pickup agencies have also imposed various other requirements, such as for example, setting a maximum size for the container employed and a maximum weight for the container and trash contained therein. The usual type of container in use is the ordinary metal barrel; however, these have the disadvantage that they are firstof all, quite heavy, so that they will hold relatively little trash before the barrel and trash exceeds the maximum permissible weight. Secondly, barrels of this type are extremely difficult to handle at the point of purchase. Because of their size, they will not fit into the ordinary car and the housewife is usually unable or refuses to handle the same. There have been recent attempts to provide a barrel formed of plastic which has the advantage over metal barrels in that there is a lower initial weight, but the same disadvantage owing to its size and awkward shape.
The barrel of the present invention is designed to overcome both of the disadvantages cited above. For example, the barrel to be hereafter described can be collapsed or compressed to a greatly reduced mass which can easily be carried by the purchaser or housewife and which, because of its reduced mass, can be merchandised through retail outlets, such as for example, supermarkets. At the point of use, the container can be released to expand into a ful1-size container, and because of the initial low weight, the container can hold more trash than metal containers. Besides these two advantages, the container of the present invention is, for all practical purposes, indestructible in view of the fact that its backbone is comprised of a compression spring formed of spring steel. The bulk of the abuse given the container is therefore directed against this compression spring which is formed of such material as to withstand any such abuse. The typical rigid metal barrel or plastic barrel, after being brown from a trash truck one or more times becomes bent and damaged to such an extent that within a relatively short period of time it is unusable. Since in applicants container the abuse is directed primarily against the compression spring, it is for all practical purposes impossible to damage the same through ordinary use.
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide an improved container of this type.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a container which employs a helical compression spring and a flexible covering over such spring.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a flexible container which can be compressed into a convenient size for merchandising purposes.
Other advantages of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art upon perusal of the following description and drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container embodying the principles of the present invention shown in its expanded form.
FIG. 2 is. a vertical cross-sectional view taken on the 3,614,516 Patented Dec. 26, 1961 line 22 of FIG. 1, with parts removed, and slightly enlarged.
FIG. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of FIG. 1, with parts removed, and slightly enlarged.
FIG. 4 is the container shown in- FIG. 1 in compressed form.
Referring to the drawings, a container embodying the principles of the present invention is designated broadly by the number 10. This container consists of a squared end helical spring 11 formed of spring steel and which is maintained in compression as will be more fully appreciatedhereinafter. The upper end of the spring is formed in the shape of an outwardly extending handle 12 which is anchored by a hook i3 and a suitable clamp 14 to the adjacent coil of the spring. The bottom end of the spring is likewise formed in the shape of a handle 15 which is located in vertical alignment with handle 12 and which is likewise anchored by a hook 16 and a clamp 17 to its adjacent coil.
The outer peripheral surface of the helical spring is tautly covered by a tube of flexible material 13, such as for example, burlap, denim, nylon, rubberized cloth, etc.
material 19, a, plurality of cross-members 2% formed of metal wire are strung across the bot-tom squared end and hooked tothe spring at 21.
- T o prevent movement of the flexible material 18 re1ative to the coils of the spring 11, which movement would ultimately cause abrasive wear of the cloth, a molding 22 is provided. This molding 22 in cross-section has a bead 23 formed therein, the inside diameter of which is substantially equal to the outside diameter of the spring wire forming the spring. This molding 22 is anchored between the clamps 14 and 17, is helically wound around the exterior of the container in the path of the coils of the spring and is so positioned that the spring wire along with the adjacent flexible material is received firmly in the bead. The adjacent flexible covering material, therefore, is locked to the spring and prevented from moving relative to the spring. This molding also acts as a bumper for preventing damage being imparted to the flexible covering material by reason or" the container being thrown oil a truck against a solid object, such as for example, the pavement, a fence or a tree. Since any impact from such handling will be directed against and resisted by the individual coils of the spring, the molding protects the flexible covering material adjacent the spring coils from such imp-act. The holding can be formed of any suitable sheet material, such as for example, aluminum, and its side edges are overlapped at 24 so as to prevent the exposure of any sharp edge.
The clamp 14 holds the squared upper end or" the spring with the first coil as previously suggested, and can be formed of any suitable sheet metal with one curled end 25 wrapped around the first coil and another curled end 26 wrapped around the upper squared end, the fiexible covering material, and the molding.
The clamp 17 is formed in a manner similar to clamp 14.
The pitch or lead of the spring is, of course, dependent upon the size of the container desired, but in any event, the spring must. have sufiicient coils to impart to the spring suflicient compression when it is in its open position to maintain the container in its upright position with a fair degree of rigidity; The spring must also not have any greater number of coils than absolutely necessary since otherwise the container when in its compressed form would be unduly bulky and heavy. The container illustrated herein is intended primarily for trash purposes at the home. To that extent, therefore, it is contemplated that it would be approximately between 4 and 5 feet in height when in its uncompressed state and on or about 2% feet in diameter. This container when compressed as shown in FIG. 4 represents a height of only about 6 inches and is maintained in this compressed form by a pair of holding clamps '27 and 28 Which can be of any convenient shape. The container in this compressed form can readily be picked up at the point of purchase, placed in a car by the purchaser, and transformed to its expanded shape by removing each of the hold-down clamps at the point of use. If, after use, it is desired to store this container either in the home or garage or any other point of use, it can once again be compressed into its FIG. 4 shape, retained in this shape by means of the clamps, and then stored or hanged upon a wall.
It will be appreciated that when the container is in its expanded position as in FIG. 1, that the flexible material retains the spring under compression and that the compressive force of this spring in this position is sufficient to retain the container in a substantially rigid state. Since the framework of the container consists of the helical spring formed of spring wire, and since the flexible material which holds the spring under compression is protected from abuse by the spring itself as well as by the holding, the container can withstand considerably more abuse and bad handling than any container formed of rigid material, such as steel or plastic. For all practical' purposes, it is almost impossible to bend any one ormore coils of the spring through normal use of of a container of this type. Even such handling as dropping or throwing the container from a truck upon pavement or any solid object such as a tree or fence will not damage the spring, and since the flexible material is protected by the molding, such treatment will also not damage the flexible material at its point of contact with the coils of the spring.
While the molding 22 is shown for preventing relative movement of a flexible covering material and the coils of the spring, it will be appreciated that other means can be employed for eifecting this same purpose. It will also be appreciated that containers of this type can be manufactured of any size desired and that there is a wide choice in the type of flexible covering material used.
What is claimed is:
1. A compressible trash container comprising a squared end helical spring, a flexible axially extending tubular covering tautly encircling the outside periphery of said spring, the axial length of said covering being less than the axial length of said spring when said spring is in its uncompressed condition, an end covering fixed to said tubular covering adjacent one end thereof for enclosing one end of said spring, the other end of said tubular covering being fixed with the other end of said spring while said spring is under compression, the compressive force of said spring being sufficient to tautly extend said covering axially to its maximum extent and to support said container in its upright position, and a molding fixed to the opposite ends of said spring, said molding in cross section having a bead formed therein, the outside diameter of said bead being substantially equal to the outside diameter of the wire forming said spring, said molding being Wound around the exterior of said container in the path of the coils of said spring and so positioned that the wire along with the adjacent flexible material of said covering is firmly received in said head, said molding preventing relative movement of said covering with reference to the coils of said spring while acting as a bumper for protecting the flexible material from impact, said eontainer being relatively light in weight and compressible for ease of storage and transport.
2. The container defined in claim 1 further characterized by said end covering being formed of fiexible material and a plurality of cross members being extended across said end covering and fixed with the first mentioned end of said spring for preventing abrasive wear of said end covering.
3. The container defined in claim 2 further characterized by the respective ends of said spring being in the form of vertically aligned, outwardly extending handles.

WATERVILLE & CARRABASSETT VALLEY, Maine – The University of New Hampshire Nordic ski team prepares for its first races of the Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association (EISA) season this weekend (Jan. 17-18) at Quarry Road Recreation Area, while the alpine team moves into its second week of competition at Sugarloaf.
The Nordic team, led by 32nd-season head coach Cory Schwartz, will be without the services of women's junior co-captain Annika Taylor (Truckee, Calif.) for the early part of the season. Taylor, last year's team MVP, was selected to compete for the British Ski Team at the U23 World Championships in Val di Femme, Italy (Jan. 29-Feb. 3).
Elizabeth Izzo (Lake Placid, N.Y.) takes on an increased leadership role as a senior co-captain. Izzo qualified for the NCAA Championships in 2013 but did not compete due to a three-skier-per-school limit. Izzo won the 3K prologue freestyle race at St. Lawrence on Jan. 19, 2013, to post New Hampshire's first Nordic individual victory since Kate Underwood (2004, Middlebury, 10K free). She earned points in 11 of 12 races in which she competed and ranked 13th in the East.
The team receives an infusion of youth to replace '13 graduates Liz Guiney and Anya Caldwell Bean. Sophomore Emily Larson (Boulder, Colo.) will seek to build off a successful freshman campaign that included action in four carnivals and eight races. Earlier this month, Larson was joined by highly-touted freshmen Lizzie Gill (Bozeman, Mont.), Katrin Larusson (Truckee, Calif.) and Teagan Yutrzenka (Anchorage, Alaska) at the U.S. Cross Country Championships in Park City, Utah. The quartet is expected to play a pivotal role in the Wildcats' success.
Junior Per Lindgren (Pitea, Sweden) was elected a 2014 co-captain after reaching the NCAAs along with his now-graduated brother Erik last season. Lindgren notched the EISA's No. 18 ranking, tops among all Wildcats. His best classic finish was seventh in 10K at Colby, and he tallied a season-best 13th freestyle finish at Vermont (10K). Johnny Springer (Jackson, Wyo.), a senior, serves as UNH's other co-captain. Springer competed in six carnivals and earned points in three races last season. His season-best finish was 22nd place in 20K free at Colby.
Sophomore Eirik Fosnaes (Hovlik, Norway) should seamlessly step right into the UNH lineup after transferring from the University of Maine at Presque Isle. While competing for the Owls, Fosnaes finished 10th in the 10K classic at the 2013 EISA Championship en route to reaching the NCAAs, where he placed 17th in the 20K mass start free and 25th in the 10K classic.
The Colby Carnival opens Friday with the women's 5K and men's 10K classic Nordic races and the giant slalom alpine races. Saturday's Nordic schedule features the women's 15K and men's 20K skate MS races with slalom racing on the alpine agenda.
The UNH alpine team finished third in giant slalom at last weekend's UVM Carnival. Jay Ogle (Pittsfield, Mass.) finished fourth to claim top 'Cat honors on the men's side, while Laura Rozinowicz (Toronto, Ontario) paced the women's team with a seventh-place finish. The slalom race was postponed due to weather and will be made up at a later date. The Nordic portion of the UVM Carnival is set for Feb. 1-2 at Trapp Family Lodge.

# STUDENTS /// Profaning Colonial Architecture. Sandi Hilal & Alessandro Petti at Columbia November10th
Sandi Hilal and Alessandro Petti, the two founders of Decolonizing Architecture (with Eyal Weizman) will be presenting their work at Columbia University on November 10th (at 6:30pm). Their lecture entitled Profaning Colonial Architecture will introduce their strategy of re-using abandoned Israeli settlements in the West Bank for the future new state of Palestine. Their projects are therefore based on a pretty optimistic scenario (Israel leaving the West Bank (1) without destroying their own settlements as they did in Gaza (2)) but as said in a BBC article that a reader just sent to me, the colonization's impact on land is such that it can now be considered almost as irreversible which make Decolonizing Architecture's projects even more important.

Top-seeded Indianapolis battles back to win GLVC baseball tournament title at Bosse Field
Lost opener to No. 8 seed, beat No. 2 seed Northern Kentucky for crown
EVANSVILLE - One way or another University of Indianapolis pitcher Donovan Drake knew he was going to throw Sunday at Bosse Field.
What the Great Lakes Valley Conference Pitcher of the Year didn't know was that it would be when the top-seeded Greyhounds were nursing a one-run lead against No. 2 Northern Kentucky for the GLVC Tournament title.
But Drake was up to the task and mowed down six straight Norse over the last two innings for his first save of the season in a 4-3 victory.
"This was the normal bullpen day for (the starters), so I was going to throw some," said Drake, who was bombed in the tournament opener in an 8-2 loss to No. 8 Lewis. "It just happened to be in this game. But I wouldn't feel any different right now if I had pitched yesterday. This win's for the team."
It completed a tournament turnaround for 17th-ranked UIndy after Drake gave up nine hits and five runs (four earned) in four innings against the Flyers on Thursday. Then all the Greyhounds had to do was come back through the losers' bracket with five straight wins from the league's deepest pitching staff.
"We're blessed with a lot of good pitchers," said Indianapolis
coach Gary Vaught. "We ask our pitchers to throw strikes, and when they do what we ask you're going to have a chance."
It worked Saturday night when Phil Wheeler, who had pitched just 22 innings all year, threw a no-hitter in a 3-0 win over Rockhurst and again Sunday afternoon.
This time the fresh arm belonged to senior right-hander Patrick Kraft (2-0), who entered the game with just 18 innings pitched this season and then got the win Sunday with seven strong innings.
Kraft allowed one earned run on six hits, one walk and three strikeouts. But it was his ability to keep to the pitching formula of throwing strikes — 54 out of 72 pitches — that kept the Greyhounds (42-14) in control.
"I've never been a guy to just go out there and blow hitters away," said Kraft. "Ever since I was four I just wanted to throw strikes and let my defense work behind me."
Kraft also fielded his position, twice forcing out the lead runner at second base on Norse attempts to move runners via the sacrifice bunt. Then Drake made another great play on a drag bunt attempt in the ninth inning.
"All of us make those plays," said Drake. "We're not labeled as athletes, so we take pride in that."
Drake entered the game with a 4-1 lead in the eighth, but faced a bases-loaded jam with nobody out after Hugo Lalonde gave up a hit and two walks to open the inning.
But Drake worked ahead and got outs with a sacrifice fly and a fielder's choice before ending the eighth with a strikeout. Then he breezed through the ninth and the Greyhounds celebrated with, you guessed it, a dog pile in the middle of Bosse Field's infield grass.
"I was nervous when they loaded the bases in the eighth," said Kraft. "But I wasn't worried about the win for me. It's all about this team. This was the goal all year and now we move on to the next one, a regional."
The loss ended the GLVC run for NKU (35-19), which joins the Atlantic Sun Conference next year.

Watering your garden should preferably be done with rain water. However, sometimes using tap water is unavoidable. In such a case one should, as with all natural resources, be efficient and sensible.
Ever noticed how a small pinch hole in your garden hose is capable of wetting a large area?
Many commercial sprinklers have 2 things in common: they are expensive and not very efficient. They seem to be designed with the idea of getting a lot of water in the air hoping it will land somewhere where water is required.
This device relies more on pressure than on size, creating a fine sheet of water. This I'ble will show you how to build this very cheap and simple lawn sprinkler and it will show you how to customize you sprinkler by going into some patterns.
If you like my idea, don't forget to vote for me in the "Garden Contest".
Step 1: How to make it.
It's quite simple: a pipe and two legs. Due to the round legs, it slides quite easily over your lawn when you pull the hose (so you don't get wet).
What you need.
An Aluminium tube (OD 10 mm)
2 PVC pipes
Hose clamp
How it is made.
Drill a 10 mm hole trough both PVC pipes.
Insert the Aluminium pipe through the PVC pipes.
Saw a notch (more about patterns in the next step).
Plug the end of the pipe.
Connect hose and clamp.
You can rotate the tube in its legs to aim the water curtain at a specific region. Be careful not to point it downward too much or you end up soaking the earth beneath it.
You can make this fairly long (or short) to meet your requirements. Be aware that over a distance you gradually loose pressure. Secondly, very long ones can become weak (you should add an extra PVC "leg" in the middle).
good ide,,
1) they are all inefficient due to evaporation, during the spray cycle, AND when droplets land on leaves, much of it drys before entering the ground
2) you really want the water to get to the roots, and that means, ON the ground for it to soak, or in a weeping device under the ground
if it is really dry, and you NEED to water, then just lay a hose and let it lightly pour on the ground. too much pressure will cut the ground. when the area is soaked, move the hose
sprinklers are FUN because they look nice and kids can play in them. This one, while workable, seems to be less efficient than a store bought one, that are sold for around $5.00 or less
Mash the end closed, and fold it over. Possibly with some caulk.
Solder a cap onto the end of the copper tube. This requires a torch, flux, solder. That's a way a plumber would do it.
Mash the end closed, solder it.
Mashing up works best if the wall thickness of the pipe is fairly thin.
The second picture: in a previous model I used a wooden plug (that is often used for furniture) and simply hammered it in.

Infinity Mirror
Mirrors add a touch of style to any room, especially an infinity mirror that seems like it goes on and on. They give a feeling of depth like large wall mirrors and elegance like art Deco mirrors. This type of mirror is very popular and can be used in many rooms of the home such as the living room, bedroom, and bathroom. An infinity bathroom mirror will help to make a small bathroom look much larger than it really is. It adds spaciousness.
An infinity mirror makes the room look like it has more space. If you look into a mirror, there is a pattern of frames that seem like they extend deep into it to exaggerate depth. At one time, an infinity mirror was considered a decoration but this is no longer the case. It is now used on furniture as well as wall hangings. Some homes and businesses have illuminated items of this type.
There are also ways of how to make an infinity mirror yourself. Some of the items you will need include cardboard, two glass panels, reflective film, and wood to make the frame, glue, and LED to make an LED infinity mirror.
The first step is to create the outside frame with a piece of wood that measures 1 inch by 4 inches. The second step is to create the inside with a ˝ inch thick piece of wood. The frame should have holes to allow you to install the lights. The outside frame of the infinity mirror should be larger to go around the inner frame. There should also be a one-inch opening to allow you to attach the cord that will power the lights.
The backing of the infinity mirror will be the cardboard. The reflective film and the cardboard should be colored black and then the reflective film should cover the glass. Then the backing and the glass will go with the outside part of the frame. Next, the lights are installed and then the second pane of glass, which should also be covered with black reflective film, is attached. The second glass piece is what will be used as a mirror in order to view all of the patterns typically seen in a lighted infinity mirror. The final step is to seal the glass with molding.
There are various uses for the finished product. It can be used by hanging it on the wall in a bathroom, bedroom, or living room. You can also use it to decorate and enhance your furniture or you can place it as an addition to a table or nightstand.
An infinity mirror surely makes a very nice décor anywhere because it looks beautiful especially after the lights are installed. Lights of any color can be used to add depth and to make an area look spacious. An infinity mirror can be made or purchased with intricate designed frames if you wish.

When Ja Rule isn't starring in films like I'm in Love With a Church Girl, reminiscing about the good 'ol days with Lil Kim and Kid Rock, or shamelessly using the hashtag #modelsandbottles, he's spitting Instagram bars about art. Or rather, he just did, quoting "Intro (Fuck Fame)" off his 2012 album, Pain is Love 2, alongside a portrait that can't decide whether to be black and white or oversaturated.
"Picasso Rembrandt Basquiat Warhol couldn't paint a better work of art and I'm like a child in art class cause I'm tryna brainwash every canvas go on kiss my ass the elephants in the room paint retro here's to van goo but y'all don't hear me tho I'm what u never saw something ya never seen y'all motherfuckas can't see me Banksy"- Ruleyork
"Intro (Fuck Fame)" is awfully similar to Jay Z's "Picasso Baby," in terms of being an assaulting amount of art world references in one song. Maybe Ja Rule knows it's #museumselfie day on Twitter and forgot to use the hashtag? Either way, this is your daily "rappers love art and art loves rappers" moment to cherish and ponder for the week to come. You're welcome.

How much formula should you feed your baby?
I have a almost 5wk old and it seems he is so hungry that every three or four days we have been slightly increasing his formula. We are now up to 5ozs and I'm just wondering if this was the "right" thing to do....We have changed his formula because he was having issues with his poop being too hard and changed it to the Gentelease but now it seems it's not enough food ...like it's not holding him from being hungry...Does anyone have suggestions? This was supposed to help with gas and fussiness as well but I didn't see any change maybe for the worst but not for the good...Does anyone have suggestions?....Thanks! :)

my boy just turned 6 wks, eating 5-6 oz every 3-4 hours. He's healthy and gaining appropriate weight - we tried Gentlease and also noticed he stayed hungry- went right back to Enfamil Premium and am sticking with it - also tried mylacon drops but it seems to upset his intestinal track more - I noticed making sure I don't feed him when he's really crying is important. I calm him down first- even if he's crying for bottle, I'll put it to his lips so he knows its there and give him up to a minute of love and play to calm tummy!posted 12/12/2011 by scorpson
my son is almost 3 months and he eats 6-8oz every 4 hrs from 7am to 11 pm and 3-4 bottles have 1 tbs of rice in them cuz if not he is so hungry he cries for another bottle then eats too much and then throws it all up so we found it helpful to do the rice and without it idk what we would do!posted 11/25/2011 by orange731
My son was on enfamil newborn and like you i was having problems with him using the bathroom, but the doctor switched it to gentlease in which then his bowels became to loose almost ten times a day, and he never got full so we switched again. Now he's a month old and hes on enfamil prosobee and it doing well with him and he's full but he still eats every 3 to 4 hours but only 3ozposted 11/14/2011 by evamagee
My twin girls are six weeks old, they were having stomach problems and trouble pooping as well and were switched to gentle ease I think it made them worst. They were crying more and more everyday.. The doctor finally switched them again to enfamil nutramagen it's a formula special for colic babies.. They have been on it about three weeks and it's working great.. No more fussy babies here!! They are also eating about four to five oz every 3 hours. They go threw growth spurts at 2, 4, 6, weeks. After that they should slow down and eat not as often!posted 11/11/2011 by svaughan08
My son is also ob gentlease. It took us about 3 weeks to really see a huge difference. We have just recently moved up to 6oz. Jus give it s chance if u dont notice a change after about 6 weeks of being on it contact ur pediatrition.posted 10/24/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
my son have 6 weeks old and i only feeding him with formula once a day,at 8 or 9 pm and he sleeps untill 6am,iam not sure if iam doing ok but in the hospital they told me that the baby can drink 5cc more every day,my son start with 35 cuz he born with 10 pounds but now his drinking 4 oz and then for fun he stay in my breast around 1o more min and he dont have any problems untill now.posted 10/18/2011 by gigibep
my baby is ten weeks and she drinks 6 oz at a time. dont listen to those charts because every baby is different.posted 10/15/2011 by allison__rios
We had NO luck with the Gentlease formula; also several times problems with poop. I went with my instincts... not what is currently recommended by pediatricians. It seemed to me that if our baby is spitting up alot then he is not only losing milk (nutrients) but also hydration. When my daughter was a baby giving water to babies was normal faire. I started giving my baby 1-2 oz. water at night before bed on the days that he had spit up excessively or had trouble pooping. Everything has panned out & we are at a steady 4 oz. per feeding every 3 hours like clockwork, no more problems pooping & alot less "starving baby" syndrome. Maybe they are just THIRSTY.posted 10/11/2011 by thegarnels
My son is 10wks now and have been eating 6oz since he was 5wks. I too was tryin to figure out why is my baby so fussy and consistently eating so soon after consuming a 4oz, that's when I increased his amount and he's been fine. There's no chart that any babies go by that tells you your child must do this and take this amount, if your child is still hungry then give them more..your child will push away when done. My son will push away his bottle and then start sucking on his thumb just to suck then I give him his binky and he's good. I've heard Carnation is really good for sensitive tummys, so far we're on Similac Sensitive just switched from Advance to better control spit-up but it's perfectly normal for babies to spit up and have that reflux because they can't contol their sphincter in the esophaus just yet (same thing with children learning to be potty trained) so it'll get better over time. My 3yr old had projectile spit up which is acid reflux and we needed dr's help to ctrl that.posted 10/11/2011 by luvmyboyz3
I have a 3 month old baby and she loves to eat. I feed her 4oz every 3 hours since she was born....One of the nurses in the hospiyal told me to feed my baby until she gets full. You will know if you are over feeding your baby. Try burping him after every 2oz and if he cries as if he's not full atfer he burps then give him the rest of the bottle. If he doesnt then you know he has enough.posted 10/05/2011 by Monica122

Paper Entrepreneurs Beating Product Entrepreneurs: 30 Years On
Robert Reich: Paper entrepreneurs ensure that capital is allocated efficiently among product enrepreneurs. But paper entrepreneurs do not directly enlarge the economic pie. They only arrange and divide the slices. They provide nothing of tangible use. For an economy to maintain its health, entrepreneurial rewards should flow primarily to product, not paper.

Nearly 600 proposals seeking $868 million — including 57 to benefit students in Franklin County — were submitted by Friday night's application deadline.
The fund, however, will award only $100 million this school year and $150 million in the 2014-15 school year.
"Unfortunately, there could be some great ideas that will not be funded this year, but we're going to do everything we can to make the right decisions and fund as many innovative ideas as possible to help Ohio students," said Richard A. Ross, state superintendent of public instruction.
Schools want money for a wide range of initiatives, including iPads or laptops for students, propane-powered buses, snowplows, equine therapy, wind and solar energy, breakfast for students, development of online courses and programs allowing high-school students to earn college credit.

Product description
Students and beginning researchers often discover that their introductory statistics and methods courses have not fully equipped them to plan and execute their own behavioral research studies. This indispensable book bridges the gap between coursework and conducting independent research. With clarity and wit, the author helps the reader build needed skills to formulate a precise, meaningful research question; understand the pros and cons of widely used research designs and analysis options; correctly interpret the outcomes of statistical tests; make informed measurement choices for a particular study; manage the practical aspects of data screening and preparation; and craft effective journal articles, oral presentations, and posters. Including annotated examples and recommended readings, most chapters feature theoretical and computer-based exercises; an answer appendix at the back of the book allows readers to check their work.

Review quote
"Even the most informed psychologist is likely to learn something by reading this book. ... A superb resource for students and teachers alike. ... It would enhance any psychology curriculum and help the students of today become first-rate researchers of tomorrow." - APA PsycCRITIQUES "Kline has written the finest synthesis of getting started and finishing research for graduate students that I have read. It is comprehensive, integrative, and couched at a level that will engage students in the research process. I wish I'd had this book when I was first starting out." - William R. Shadish, Chair, Psychological Sciences Section, University of California, Merced "A book designed to improve the quality of behavioral and social science research and the way in which it is communicated. I would strongly recommend this text for use in both undergraduate and graduate research methods courses. It offers students a glimpse of many important issues in the field. In particular, the emphasis on, and presentation of, measurement and statistics reform should truly benefit students. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who intends to pursue a career in the behavioral or social sciences." - Chris L. S. Coryn, Director, Interdisciplinary PhD Program in Evaluation, The Evaluation Center, Western Michigan University "I appreciated the section on data screening - a crucial topic - and found the author's treatment of how to write each section of an empirical paper quite valuable. The APA style manual is not nearly as instructive. This text is the kind of book that you keep; it would serve as a handy reference." - Theresa DiDonato, doctoral candidate, Department of Psychology, Brown University "This is more than a textbook; it is a portable mentor! Kline brings his considerable knowledge and approachable style to the aid of advanced undergraduates and graduate students alike. The book addresses so many issues that fall through the cracks in our fragmented coursework, such as the general integration of design, measurement, and analysis. I would be remiss if I did not make this mandatory reading for all of my students." - Gregory R. Hancock, Professor and Chair, Department of Measurement, Statistics and Evaluation, University of Maryland, College Park "Many beginning graduate students find that conventional statistics and methods courses do not give them enough of the practical skills in data analysis, interpretation, and oral and written communication that they need to succeed. Kline has given us a wonderfully wise guide to these skills. This book is beautifully written, entirely practical, and includes the latest statistical approaches. It is essential reading for anyone who wishes to become a successful behavioral science researcher today." - Geoff Cumming, School of Psychological Science (Emeritus), La Trobe University "Outstanding! Kline is masterful in helping to fill the sometimes cavernous gap between research coursework and applied practice. The focus on modern approaches, including emphasis on replication and effect sizes, represents a new (and needed) generation of research texts, which will benefit advanced undergraduate and graduate students alike in their research courses and seminars. The book honestly and artfully walks the fine line between applied accessibility and necessary depth of content." - Robin K. Henson, Department of Educational Psychology, University of North Texas

The spirit of Ferrari's pioneering 'Pampas Bull' will be with Fernando Alonso when he takes on the Red Bulls at the British Grand Prix this weekend.
Two years ago the Spaniard marked the 60th anniversary of Ferrari's first Formula One victory by driving winner Jose Froilan Gonzalez's 1951 car around the same Silverstone circuit where the Argentine had triumphed.
Alonso went on to win the race that day and will try to repeat the feat on Sunday as his team again pay tribute to Gonzalez after his death in Buenos Aires two weeks ago, at the age of 90.
"For me, Alonso's win at this track in 2011 was one of the greatest of my career," said team principal Stefano Domenicali.
"It was a special race, because we were going through a difficult season and to win exactly when we were celebrating the 60th anniversary of Ferrari's first ever F1 [victory] was like a sign of destiny.
"It is very sad that just a few days ago, Froilan Gonzalez, the man who gave Ferrari that first win in 1951, passed away and we will be remembering him during this weekend," added the Italian.
Alonso needs a win to rein in Red Bull's triple world champion Sebastian Vettel, now a healthy 36 points clear of the Spaniard, after seven of the season's 19 races.
Ferrari have won in Britain, home of eight of the current 11 Formula One teams, more times than anyone (16 in all) and Alonso has every chance of adding to that tally.
"I wouldn't say that Vettel is favourite for this race. I'd say it's Alonso," McLaren's Jenson Button told reporters ahead of a home grand prix that has yet to reward the 2009 champion with a podium finish.
Alonso was on pole last year but Red Bull's Mark Webber, who also won in 2010, beat the double champion into second place while Vettel – winner at Silverstone in 2009 – was third.
Webber, yet to win this season, could be a bigger threat than Vettel at what amounts to a home race for the pub-owning, countryside-loving Australian whose house is a short drive from the circuit.
"He's always gone well at the circuit…I think he sees it almost as much of a home grand prix as Albert Park [in Melbourne]," said team principal Christian Horner.
Ferrari and Red Bull will not be the only ones fighting for the top step on Sunday.
Lewis Hamilton, the 2008 champion for McLaren, makes his first home race appearance in Mercedes overalls with every hope of a competitive performance in a team that has had four pole positions so far and a win for Nico Rosberg in Monaco.
The tyres were a big problem in Spain, where the same hard and mediums will be used at Silverstone, but the team – who were reprimanded for a "secret" tyre test with Pirelli since that race – are confident they will be more competitive.
"I think we've made some small steps just with tyre cooling and brake cooling, I don't think we've made a huge step but we've yet to find out really," Hamilton told reporters on Tuesday.
"I definitely feel that we'll be competitive throughout the weekend," he added.
Lotus can also hope to be in the mix, with Kimi Raikkonen a winner at Silverstone for Ferrari in 2007 and currently third overall in the championship.
McLaren, who last won at home with Hamilton in 2008, has plenty of new bits to try out and hope to have clawed back some of the time they need to make up after a deeply disappointing start to the season.
"It would be great if the guys could get a podium out of it but I think on recent performance that could be quite challenging," said McLaren managing director Jonathan Neale.
On current form, Force India's Paul di Resta is Britain's next best hope after Hamilton while Marussia's Max Chilton will just be soaking up the atmosphere on his home debut.
Former champions Williams, a long way from their glory days of the late 1980s and mid 1990s, are still searching for their first point of the season, on what will be their 600th race weekend.
Formula 1 Statistics ahead of the British Grand Prix:
- Four different teams have won in seven races so far this year (Lotus, Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes).
- Red Bull's triple champion Sebastian Vettel is the only driver with three wins in 2013.
- Ferrari's Fernando Alonso has 32 career wins, Vettel 29, Mercedes's Lewis Hamilton 21, Lotus's Kimi Raikkonen 20 and McLaren's Jenson Button 15.
- Ferrari have won 221 races since the championship started in 1950, McLaren 182, Williams 114 and Red Bull 37.
- Mercedes have been on pole four times in seven races.
- Vettel has 39 poles to his credit, putting him third in the all-time list (Michael Schumacher had 68 and Ayrton Senna 65). Hamilton has 27 and Alonso 22.
- Caterham and Marussia have yet to score a point after three seasons in Formula One.
- None of the five 2013 rookies has scored points so far.
- Kimi Raikkonen has now finished 24 successive races in the points for Lotus and can claim the outright record this weekend. He shares it currently with Michael Schumacher, although the scoring system has changed.
- Former champions Williams have yet to score a point this season and for eight races in a row – the worst start in their history.
- Silverstone hosted the first race in the Formula One world championship in 1950. The circuit has hosted every British Grand Prix since 1986 and this year will be the 47th race there.
- Red Bull have been on pole at Silverstone in three of the last four years (Webber 2011, Vettel 2010 and 2009) and won three of the last four.
- Historically, pole has not been a significant advantage. Only four times in the last 18 races has the quickest driver in qualifying gone on to win. However, since 2000 every winner has started from fourth or better.
- The race has never been won by anyone starting outside the top 10.
- Twelve British drivers have won their home race since 1950. The last was Hamilton in 2008. The last Briton to win from pole at home was Damon Hill in 1994.
- The last British one-two in Britain was in 1999 with David Coulthard and Eddie Irvine. In 1965, the top five were all British.
- McLaren's Jenson Button, the most experienced driver on the starting grid, has never stood on the podium at his home race.
- Ferrari have won 16 times in Britain, McLaren 14 and Williams 10.
- Alonso and Webber are the most successful current drivers at Silverstone, with two wins each. Webber has been on the podium every year since 2009.
- Williams are marking their 600th grand prix this weekend.
- Next week will be the 60th anniversary of Britain's first Formula One grand prix victory – Mike Hawthorn for Ferrari in France on July 5, 1953. (Reuters)

Nazi's Jesus and the ApocalypseOctober 26, 2009 10:39 pm
Mood: Beat up
Tagged with: tv, history, apocalypse, nazi, religion
Did anyone else notice that the History channel went from shows about all sorts of history to primarily shows about WWII, Jesus and the Apocalypse?
I usually watch late night so it's understandable that I'm not watching their prime time programs but seriously how much more Nazi can we take? Several times a day there's something on World War II and nine times out of ten it's about the Nazi movement. When it's not on the Nazis it's on D-day, some American or British operation or something to do with Japan. Certainly WWII was horrible but there are other wars where terrible things happened that had a significant impact on history. Hitler is dead and the war is over, let's move on please.
If Nazi's don't suit your fancy then maybe Jesus does. From the Templar Knights to the last super, the ten commandments to the holy grail there's more Catholicism on the History Channel than there is in Italy. As if Catholics haven't taken up enough of the world's time, calendar or holidays they need to invade education television as well! You have your own channel, several as a matter of fact, let's keep it there.
Most interestingly there are a ton of shows about the end of the world. Life without people, while it's not about how the world will end shows what will happen to the planet without us. It's actually pretty good. Then there are the religious shows (like the ones mentioned above) relating to the end of days and Revelations. Beyond those we have prophecy shows relating to Nostradamus and his lot, most recently the Nostradamus effect relating prophecies from all sorts of people and showing how they tie into current events. Still other shows talk about how the universe hates us. One in particular showcases the top 10 ways life will go extinct on earth, most of those ways coming from outer space.
I didn't mention in the beginning but besides these program shifts there's another smaller section of programs dealing with conspiracy theories all centered on the American government. Apparently the Free Masons are taking over, all our founding fathers were apart of it and if they weren't they were plotting something on their own. More and more there are shows starting with "Secrets of..." or "The truth behind..." Give me a break.
What's most disturbing about the shift in programming are not that we have it, it's that they continue. People are obviously watching these shows. If they weren't they wouldn't continue this sort of programming to get better ratings. So the lesson here is we like death, destruction, conspiracy and Jesus? What that says is probably best left for another post some other time.

There is one local man who doesn't have to worry about the pain at the pump. That's because he is making his own liquid gold.
"It works beautifully," Adam Burke said.
Burke makes his own alternative biodiesel out of used vegetable oil.
"I make a batch of about 24 gallons, and I get to use this for four weeks, maybe two months," Burke said.
He gets wasted oil for free from Chinese restaurants. He then fills 24 gallons of the oil in his processor, takes out the water, adds a reactant and alcohol, and after a week he has enough to fill up his vehicle for two months.
"I really have not made more than about 250 gallons because this is more of a hobby and an experiment to me, and each time I make a batch, I try something different in the process," Burke said.
However, Burke is saving major money. The fuel he's making costs about 85-cents a gallon.
"I think if you factor in your time and the hassle, it's probably not worth it for most individuals. You have to think that this is fun," Burke said.
Burke wants to help save you money.
Many communities have started making their own biodiesel plants and Burke would like to do the same. He's suggests many people coming together to build a local facility.

Rosatom Wants to Renew Siemens Partnership, FT Deutschland Says
May 27 (Bloomberg) -- Rosatom Corp. wants to revive ties to Siemens AG even after the German engineer signaled a strategy shift, Financial Times Deutschland reported, citing Nikolai Spassky, deputy chief of the Russian nuclear company.
Rosatom wants to "hold serious talks to renew the level of our partnership" with Munich-based Siemens, which could deliver technology and factory parts, the German newspaper cited Spassky as saying.
Siemens has said it will discuss with its Russian partner the implications of an arbitration tribunal decision forcing the German company to pay France's Areva SA 648 million euros ($923 million) following its exit from a nuclear joint venture. Talks will "take into account the events in Japan and the worldwide market environment as well as the social and political aspects," Alfons Benzinger, a Siemens spokesman, said in an e-mail May 23.

I am new here and to the word of knitting. I have been using a loom (round ones and square made by knifty knitter) for about a month and a half. I have made a 3 hats, a double knit scarf and an iPod bag. This has been fun but while doing the last project, I started to consider using needles. I had tried to do this when I was a kid and was very frustrated because I just could not get the hang of it.
I bit the bullett and decided to just do it anyway. So I went to AC Moore and purchased a butt load of equipment. My partner says I better learn and use it because I spent soooo much money. Not to mention the money I have spent thus far on supplies for the other projects. He is is not complaining too much because I have been very relaxed at home since I started doing this and have only freaked out once becasue I had to start my last hat all over again when my dog got to it. He is enjoying the hat and scarf I knitted for him though, especially since in the northeast here it has been very frigid.
All that to say I am anxious to start with needles. I have been just doing stiches on the needles to try to get the hang of it. Basic knit and purl. Nothing fancy. I learned this from a book! I am very proud of myself for that. I do plan to try to attend a class though. Just got to fit it in somewhere. I am a graphic designer full time and taking class for Flash and I sing too and meet with a friend about once a week to be creative musically.
What would be a good project to start on for a firt time needle user? I thought about a dishcloth or sock or something. I just want to make sure I am doing something and learning and not knitting just to knit. I like knitting, but I am goal oriented and so I would like to see a finished project at the end. Just keeps me motivated. I don't get too upset if it does not turn out right, becasue I realize that I am very green behind the ears on this, but I would like to knit something. Not just a big piece of nothing. Any ideas?
Thanks for all the encouragement.
I started a dishcloth/facecloth pattern, last night I threw half of it away out of frustration. I have made too many mistakes for my perfectionist brain to handle. I started again and am doing much better. It is a faily easy patter to follow to start sts 4, k2, yo, k to end of row (repeat until 40 or 50 sts). But when the decreasing started, k1, k2 tog, yo, k2 tog, k to end, repeat until 4 sts on kneedle. Well... the k2 tog was the problem because I had knit many of my sts too tight! I learned a valuable lesson on that. So I started again and am about half way done on the decreases already.
This is really helping me stay calm, especially since I has some pipes crack and start leaking becasue of the frigid weather last night. Urgh... This knitting is my drug. I am a knit addict and this morning when all was starting to settle, I too 15 minutes to knit some more rows and the wonders that worked on my nerves. I am fiening now!
I'll post the results when I am finished. Hopefully Saturday.
heh-heh-heh! another one hooked...
ahem! I mean to say, yes, knitting can be very relaxing - except of course when something goes wrong! *grin*
MMario - I don't live in the 21st Century - but I sometimes play a character who does.
Dive in and have fun. I am almost finished with my very first project, a simple 2x2 ribbed scarf. Just keep plugging away at it and have fun, it'll come to you.
Linux: because a PC is a terrible thing to waste
"tried to do this when I was a kid and was very frustrated "
Yes, as a kid, doing anything new can be frustrating, but you're a big boy now, so have more patience! Right? LOL
Dishcloths are always good, the yarn is large enough so you can see what you are doing, and they are still useful whether you make a mess or not.
Yes, take a class, or find a knitting group where you live. Watch the videos online. And lots and lots of practice (perfect practice of course!) Bad habits take a lot longer to un-learn.
Make more things for your partner -- it eases the complaining.
A dishcloth or a scarf is a good starter. Or you could knit flat rectangles and seam them into wrist cuffs. I had a little trouble learning from a book so I used the videos at http://knittinghelp.com/ to help figure out some stuff.
Also, most every brand of yarn has a website and offer free patterns. I have printed a bazillion patterns from Lion's website.
I have only been knitting for about 2 years and also taught myself from a book. I loved doing dishclothes, because they were quick and reasonably easy...basic knit and purl with a few slips, twists, increases and decreases. I also tried the Nifty Knitter, but grew bored with it. Keep up the practicing and it will get alot easier.
You can google on facecloths or dishcloths - there are about umpty gazillion patterns out there. Choose your own level of complexity.
Or try the Irish Hiking Scarf; it has knit, purls, and a simple cable.

Today is the day…
Well…we all knew this day was going to come sometime and it did. Today is the day that I leave for home. It is such a bittersweet moment. All things I wanted out of this trip happened, plus more. My lifelong dream had come true…to go to Africa and help children. I do not even believe those words when I say them, because they seem unbelievable. I am completely and whole-heartedly satisfied with my work done here. I know once I am gone, I will want to come back…and come back I will..soon. There were life-changing experiences, life-long friends that turned into family, and a life-time full of memories.
I understand why they call it the 'Pearl of Africa' because it is the most beautiful place I have ever been to. Everywhere you go there is beauty. There are mountains that carry you to the heavens and green scenery that is so aesthetically pleasing to the eye. It has not only been a place to stay, but has become my home that I know I can always come back to and be welcomed with warm hearts and big hugs. You don't feel lonely here or unhappy, because no one will let that happen.
There was so much that has been done here and I could not be more grateful for it all. I walked through many villages and met children who barely had anything, but rags on their backs, I have seen the Nile River and waterfalls and pure beauty, walked through rain forests, made African food by myself, been to about 12 different schools and met over 5,000 children, rode on boda boda's (African "motorcycle"), walked 2 miles through pouring, taught children with special needs, played and danced the nights away, and the list goes on and on and..on, but it would take faaar to long to write them all down.
I still have a few things that I really want to do here, so I guess that means I just have to come back again! My time here has gone by so quickly and I cannot believe it has come to an end. I remember thinking the first night I got here, that I could not believe I was in Africa and not to worry about time because I have 2 whole months. Those 2 months is over and went by quicker than ever. But whenever one door closes another door opens and for me my adventures do not end here. In 2 and half weeks I will be leaving once again for another adventure in Australia to be an au pair for an amazing family that I cannot wait to be with!
I want to conclude this trip with saying thank you to everyone that helped me get here and everyone that is here. I would not have been able to do it without you and I appreciate all your prayers and support with all my heart. So once again thank you for making my dream come true.
With Very Kind Regards and Love,
Anya and Maria
P.s. I will be uploading more photos and videos, once I get home…so keep your eye on here within the next week or so!

Hi there! We are searching for a new custom sectional for our FR.
We've seen tons, but the one we are leaning towards is the modular sectional made by Kroehler. I know Kroehler is made is Canada which is what we prefer and the leather quality appears to be good as well. Does anyone have any feedback on this brand or offer comparisons with other brands?
Thanks so much!

Malnutrition-hit minor on deathbed
Jamuna, who weighs eight kg, has lost her eyesight and is so weak that she cannot even chew or swallow properly
"Such an emaciated child I had seen only in a picture depicting hunger in Somalia," said Dr Bimal Dhakal of his new patient, 12-year-old Jamuna Buda.
Jamuna was admitted to the Malnutrition Rehabilitation Centre of the Bheri Zonal Hospital four days ago. Just skin and bones, she weighs only eight kilogram, has lost her eyesight and weak to the point that she cannot even chew or swallow properly.
Jamuna's mother Najara said that her growth was normal until the age of four. "First, she had a problem with her sight and then she started getting weak."
Najara and her husband Dipak come from a remote Serabang village of Kada VDC in Rukum. With seven children to feed, the couple work as wage labourers to eke out living.
Owing to the lack of funds, the couple could neither take Jamuna to hospital, nor provide nutritious diet to her.
"We took her to local shamans. Some said she was hexed by witch and some said that our deity was mad and had cursed her with the disease," Najara said. "We, finally, managed Rs 10,000 on loan and took her to the district hospital and the doctor there advised us to bring here."
Bimala Poudel of the Malnutrition Rehabilitation Centre said there has been a slight improvement in Jamuna's condition in the last four days. She said that Jamauna is being administered milk, jeevanjal and liquefied food every two hours.

Calvin College has received a $375,622 state grant to strengthen cleanup efforts in the Plaster Creek watershed, long one of the region's most polluted streams.
The grant, from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, will be used for community education efforts, faculty and student research, and to reduce storm water running into the creek.
Calvin, which sits partly in the 58-square-mile Plaster Creek watershed, has been involved in efforts to restore the creek over the past several years.
Calvin faculty from were among the founders of Plaster Creek Stewards, a group whose members also include the West Michigan Environmental Action Council and a growing group of churches from within the watershed, according to Calvin. In 2011, the group received a $58,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

I'm trying to change the Create - Group widget to do the following:
Auto create two forums in stead of the default one (Discussions). i.e.
I want to create two forums : One for discussions and one for Q&A.
I thought a simple change to the widget to include another registered push function with different formdata would do it, but get the following error:
Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'IX_te_Forum_Forums_Validation'.
Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.te_Forum_Forums'.
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'ApplicationId', table 'Telligent4GA.dbo.te_Applications';
column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated. The statement has been terminated.
•Unable to create forum
The duplicate key ?? I thought that the Id get's auto generated.
maybe it's because it;s asynchronous trying to add the new forum before the other one is done ??
In reply to RenierW:
I would make sure that the names don't conflict and you may also want to include the "DefaultThreadType" in your "forumCreateData" for both calls.
Would it be possible to see a sample of the ui.js file to look at the createMethods.Push function you added?
In reply to Rudy Sandoval:
Hi Rudy,
Thanks, yes it's just a copy of the default one, with some added attributes. They work on their own, but not together..
var forumCreateData = {
GroupId: group.Id,
Name: group.Name + ' - General Discussions' // + context.singularNameForum
// if there was a mailing list associated with this forum create request, create it now
if($(context.forumMailingInput).is(':checked')) {
$.extend(forumCreateData, {
EnableMailingList: true,
MailingListName: forumCreateData.Name,
MailingListAddress: $(context.forumAddressInput).val()
url: $.telligent.evolution.site.getBaseUrl() + 'api.ashx/v2/forums.json',
data: forumCreateData,
success: function(response) {
handleResponse(response, context.createForumErrorMessage);
defaultErrorMessage: context.createForumErrorMessage
Name: group.Name + ' - Questions & Answers', # + context.singularNameForum
AllowedThreadTypes: 'QuestionAndAnswer'
Please try removing the comment "// + context.singularNameForum" and
also the "# + context.singularNameForum" from the forumCreateData section.
With those changes I was able to create a new group with 2 Forums.
Rudy Sandoval
Yes, I just commented out the stuff that was there, he # is just a typo, should have been //.
Anyway, I removed it, but still get the duplicate key error. I couldn't get it to work, so pretty much gave up on that idea.

- Introductory notes to a grammar of Cahuilla : [to appear in Linguistic Studies offered to Joseph Greenberg on the occasion of his 60th birthday] (1976)
- These notes grew out of my preoccupation with writing a grammar of a particular language, Cahuilla, which is spoken in Southern California and belongs to the Uto-Aztecan family. [...] The Introduction to the Grammar as a whole – of which two sections are reproduced here in a modified version – tries to integrate the synoptic views of the different chapters into a series of comprehensive statements. The statements cluster around two topics: 1. A presentation of Cahuilla as a type of language. 2. Remarks on writing a grammar.
- Descriptivity in the domain of body-part terms (1976)
- In an earlier paper, I proposed a system for evaluating the relative descriptivity of lexical items in a consistent manner in terms of the interrelations of three metrics. The first of these, including five possible degrees of descriptivity, is based on the premise that the sum of the meaningful parts of a given form is or is not equal to the meaning of the whole. The second, also composed of five degrees, is based on paraphrase-term relations in which the logical quantifiers: all, some and no, are applied to the terms of the paraphrase in one test and to the meaningful parts of the term (linguistic form) in the reversibility test. Both tests are applied in the form of logical propositions. The third metric, with three degrees, deals with the relative explicitness of the meaningful parts of a given form: explicit, implicit or neither. […] This system was then tested in a pilot study involving the fairly limited and semantically homogeneous lexical domain of body-part terms in a specific language, Finnish. The purpose of the present paper is to subject comparable data from other languages to the same kind of analysis and compare the results in order to ascertain whether the generalizations arrived at with the Finnish data also hold for the other languages or, more specifically, which of these generalizations are more or less universal and which language or language-type specific? The additional languages to be examined here are: French, German, Ewe, Maasai and Swahili.
- Determination: a universal dimension for inter-language comparison : (preliminary version) (1976)
- The basic idea I want to develop and to substantiate in this paper consists in replacing – where necessary – the traditional concept of linguistic category or linguistic relation understood as 'things', as reified hypostases, by the more dynamic concept of dimension. A dimension of language structure is not coterminous with one single category or relation but, instead, accommodates several of them. It corresponds to certain well circumscribed purposive functions of linguistic activity as well as to certain definite principles and techniques for satisfying these functions. The true universals of language are represented by these dimensions, principles, and techniques which constitute the true basis for non-historical inter-language comparison. The categories and relations used in grammar are condensations – hypostases as it were – of such dimensions, principles, and techniques. Elsewhere I have outlined the theory which I want to test here in a case study.
