Missing man's memory to fund first-time Cycle Oregon riders
RIDDLE, Ore. - Mark Bosworth said goodnight to friends at the Cycle Oregon camp and vanished without a trace.
At the 2013 Cycle Oregon Kickoff Party on Tuesday, Feb. 5, family and friends of Bosworth will launch a fund in his name that will send fellow cyclists to Cycle Oregon, a yearly event near and dear to Mark's heart.
"When Mark went missing from Cycle Oregon on Sept 16, 2011 we all thought that the nightmare would end soon," said Julie Bosworth, Mark's wife. "As the days and weeks stretched on and on until now we're into the second year of missing Mark, his disappearance continues to be a mystery. However, I know for a fact that Mark would love the idea of having his name attached to a scholarship designed to get a first-time rider to experience Cycle Oregon, removing cost as an obstacle. Mark was always fixing bikes, lending bikes, helping people to get on their bikes and to gain confidence on their bikes. The Mark Bosworth Fund is another step in what Mark loved to do his entire life."
The Mark Bosworth Fund will sponsor a first-time rider in Cycle Oregon each year. The fundraising goal is $30,000 for this year, with nearly half of that already raised. The money will cover the fee for the week-long Cycle Oregon ride, including meals and the tent and porter fee.
Family and friends have searched the woods and the World Wide Web since September 16, 2011, receiving the help of famous cyclists and checking more than 4,450 hospitals in the U.S.
Bosworth's family even revealed private health information about the missing man's past battles with cancer. His doctors suspected the symptoms Bosworth showed days before he disappeared could mean he has an abnormality in his brain.
While he was away at Cycle Oregon but before he disappeared, Bosworth told his wife Julie by phone that he was in Canada.
He also fell asleep in a stranger's car.
In the days after he vanished, Bosworth's family said he may think it's 10 or 20 years ago. Given his confusion, here are some of the places Bosworth may be trying to reach:
• New York City – he lived there for 10 years.
• Minnesota and Iowa – his daughters went to college in both states.
• Chicago; Santa Cruz, Calif.; North Carolina, Missouri and Florida – he has family ties.
There's a $10,000 reward for information that leads to finding Bosworth. Anyone with information about Mark's disappearance should call the Douglas County Sheriff's Office non-emergency dispatch line at (541) 440-4471.

Microsoft put the finishing touches on a massive month this week, with the global launch of Windows Phone 8 Monday, and the Build developer conference Tuesday.
The company already launched their extra-sized Surface Tablet earlier this month, as well as holding their Windows 8 event.
But what most of us were really waiting for was windows Phone 8, and now it's here. Touted by the event's speakers as "the most personal smartphone operating system you can get," Microsoft began by highlighting the growing number of apps for Windows Phone, 120,000 and counting.
However, speakers stressed that people, not apps, are the focus of the revamped OS, and called out Apple and Android for not doing enough to really change smartphones since they arrived on the scene.
As such, Microsoft is banking a lot on one of Windows Phone 8's main features, "live apps." Live apps move like live tiles and update themselves, so that your phone becomes like your fingerprint, says Microsoft.
"For example, the Facebook app updates the lock screen with your personal photos," explains WebProNews. "A number of app developers including Twitter, Zynga and Rovio are updating their apps to take advantage of live apps."
That brings us to what TechCrunch says the "future of the Windows 8 platform," hinges on – the developers.
Because the OS – nevermind the idea of live tiles – is so new, Microsoft's going to have to lure developers to it for it to really take off. At the moment, says TechCrunch, the number of new Windows 8 apps is "underwhelming," and that may explain the somewhat middling reviews Microsoft's Surface Tablet has received:
"Most of the reviewers cited the lack of apps – and not the hardware itself – as one of the reasons they didn't enjoy the experience."
But as he took the stage to kick off the Build developer conference, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer already had some positive news about the new OS' reception, saying that there have already been 4 million Windows 8 upgrades in just the few days since its launch. Hopefully some of those interested parties are developers.
But as for regular users who want to get in on the new OS, Windows Phone 8 will be globally available by November across a number of devices, including the Nokia Lumia, and HTC and Samsung smartphones.

ReEnergy Holdings officials say it's the first company solely focused on producing electricity from biomass to be certified under the Sustainable Forestry Initiative program.
The owner of four Maine biomass-to-energy facilities says it's been certified under the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. ReEnergy Holdings says it's the first company solely focused on producing electricity from biomass to be certified under the program.
Company CEO Larry Richardson says ReEnergy earned the distinction by using sustainably-harvested biomass.
"That is a critical part of our industry, as we are a integral part of the renewable energy industry here in the U.S.," Richardson said Thursday at an Augusta news conference. "We can provide clean, sustainable and baseload energy for the grid, for customers - commercial and residential customers."
The SFI standard is based on certain requirements that are intended to promote sustainable forest management and stewardship. Among other things, it requires that producers support training for loggers and forestery, workers and encourage suppliers to reforest harvested sites, protect threatened and endangered species, and help protect water quality.
ReEnergy employs about 100 people at its four plants in Maine, located in Stratton, Livermore Falls, Fort Fairfield and Ashland, and supports hundreds more forestry jobs in Maine, Richardson says. The company also owns three biomass facilities in New York.

Conquer Cold Toes and Ankles With Our Plush Australian Sheepskin Slippers
Menââ¬â¢s Australian Sheepskin Booties 5 5
Had to try them again! I originally bought these and really abused them - I'm a historical re-enactor, and they were ideal for my footwear. I even took them to an outdoor camping trip, and they kept me VERY comfortable and warm, even in the coldest weather. After one of them finally ripped beyond my ability to repair them, I bought another pair. So far, they're fantastic - warm, comfortable, and really nice! (This time, however, they're going to stay either in my tent or at home - I want these to last!) April 9, 2013
My Friend's Cozy Feet I gave the slippers as a gift for a friend who had complained about cold feet at home during the evening while watching TV. These slippers were very well received and he was very happy with them. Thank yo. January 22, 2013
These slippers were a perfect fit. I had been looking for a good pair of winter slippers and these sheepskin slippers fit the bill. I am very pleased with this purchase. January 12, 2013
Wonderful Slippers! Bought these for my husband for Christmas and the minute he put them on he looked at me and said "These are Amazing!" He loved how soft and comfortable they are and he mentioned that they seemed like they had support even though they were slippers. Unbeknownst to him, I tried them on myself later on and wished they would make ladies slippers identical to these!! December 27, 2012
Perfect I got these slippers for my husband and gave them to him when they came in the mail this week. He loves the fit and how warm they are, he wears a size 10.5 and I ordered the size 11 and they fit perfect and he likes to wear them with the top pulled up. They are really good quality slippers and the price is great. December 21, 2012

CANTON A Potsdam man has been ordered to serve 11 years in state prison for the repeated rape of a 15-year-old girl at gunpoint.
Gregory E. Brown Jr., 27, of 509 Raquette Road, was sentenced Monday in St. Lawrence County Court for third-degree rape, a class E felony, and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a class C violent felony.
Brown had sexual contact with the girl, then 15, from August to October 2011. According to the indictment, those encounters included forcible compulsion during which he displayed a gun.
Brown had faced a maximum of 95 years in prison on the six counts brought against him by a St. Lawrence County grand jury on March 7.
On Sept. 11, he accepted a deal struck between St. Lawrence County Public Defender Stephen D. Button and Assistant District Attorney Viacheslav Mareyev, wherein he pleaded guilty to the two felonies.
County Judge Jerome J. Richards made a commitment to Brown at the time of his guilty plea that he would face a total of nine years in prison, determinate, on both charges, if he complied with the rules of the jail while he was awaiting sentencing.
On Sept. 13, Brown was charged with felony second-degree assault after he struck another inmate in the face.
Judge Richards said he was no longer bound by his commitment and sentenced Brown to the two additional years.
In addition to his prison sentence, Brown was ordered to pay $3,296.05 in restitution and $1,025 in court fines, fees and surcharges.
In other court action Monday:
Joshua J. Love, 22, of 81 Chase St., Massena, was sentenced to 3� years in state prison for third-degree rape, a class E felony.
Love was arrested April 25 by state police on charges that he provided alcohol to a 16-year-old girl Jan. 11 or 12 in the village of Massena and engaged in intercourse and oral sex with her when she became intoxicated. He also was ordered to pay $1,425 in fines, fees and surcharges.
Nicholas A. Steenkamer, 20, of 525 E. Hayward St., Ogdensburg, pleaded not guilty to two counts of second-degree criminal sex act and two counts of second-degree rape, all class D felonies.
It is alleged that during August and on Sept. 25, in the city, he engaged in oral sexual contact and sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl.
He was released under probation supervision.
Alex J. Amyot, 38, of 1900 Route 345, Madrid, was sentenced to 1� to 3 years in state prison for fourth-degree grand larceny, a class D felony, as a second felony offender.
Mr. Amyot stole more than $3,000 worth of metal railway-related items belonging to Thomas Fiacco between Aug. 12 and 28, 2012, in the town of Potsdam. He also was ordered to pay $1,296 in restitution.
On July 28, 2008, Mr. Amyot was convicted of driving while intoxicated, a class E felony, and served one year in St. Lawrence County jail on that conviction.
Andrew F. White, 25, of 46 Sterling St., Gouverneur, was sentenced to 240 days in St. Lawrence County jail after his Aug. 19 guilty plea to second-degree criminal contempt, a class A misdemeanor.
Mr. White disregarded a no-harassment order for Natalie Besaw, issued June 5 by Gouverneur Town Justice John W. Riordan. Mr. White had an altercation with the woman July 23 over a pack of cigarettes, Judge said.
Judge Richards also ordered Mr. White to pay $250 in court fines, fees and surcharges.
Additionally, Mr. White pleaded guilty to violating a five-year probation sentence imposed April 26, 2012, for an attempted-burglary conviction. He was released under probation supervision in that matter.

This is a very good vitamin. My doctor prescribed it for me when I was struggling with adrenal fatigue and wants me to continue on it now that I'm pregnant (and afterward). I was taking a chewable prenatal vitamin while I had morning sickness, because I found 6 Optivite tablets a day a bit much too swallow. It's obvious from the labels that Optivite is a much better choice, but I still hate swallowing them, and taking them crushed is even worse. But I've noticed that some of my pregnancy symptoms (like my constant runny nose) have abated since I started taking it.

It's seems that the Mandrake 8.2 i586 rpms are all uploaded now.
KDE 3.0 final is out
well at least the ftp dir. has been opened and rpms seem to be flowing freely onto the server - and the time of writing, still no tar balls avail.
It's seems that the Mandrake 8.2 i586 rpms are all uploaded now.
Anyone know where to get the debs?
btw. I beat /. by several hours on this one...
No, I would think that the debian KDE mailinglist will have information up in a few hours.
I have the source down now... I'll give you all a report after I tested it for a bit - but I don't imagine it's much different from RC3 which EXELLENT^n (for n -> infinite)
I just need to rebuild LFS... again.... changing back to GCC 2.95.3
I remember back to Mandrake 6.5 when KDE 2 was beta. It seems like only 10 years ago. My how time flies.
If anyone finds KDE3 final .deb files, please let me know.
I just installed the RPMs on my SkipJack box, fairly painless... except for the fact that they went away from a kde-utils rpm this time, so I had to --force the install to overwrite the old files from kde-utils.... oh well (;
BTW, mosfet's HighPerf liquid theme looks sooo dead sexy!

Over Gowers's blog Tim and I will make an attempt to revisit polymath5. Last Autumn I prepared three posts on the problems and we decided to launch them now. The first post is here. Here is a related MathOverflow question. Discrepancy theory is a wonderful theory and while I am not an expert we had several posts about it here. (This post on Beck-Fiala and related matters; and this news item on Beck's 3-permutation conjecture.) I am aware of at least one important recent development in the theory that I did not report. My posts go around the problem and do not attack it directly but I hope people will have a chance to think about the problem again and perhaps also about polymathing again. Meanwhile, polymath7 (over the polymath blog) is in a short recess but I hope a new research thread will start soon.

Other: Injection of 1 ml of 0.8 SW/0.2% lidocaine
Injection at 0, 1, and 2 months of 1 ml of a solution consisting of 0.8 sterile water and 0.2% lidocaine.
Detailed Description:
Longitudinal studies of subjects with temporomandibular dysfunction show a general pattern of symptom diminishment, especially in the elderly. However studies out to 2-8 years show residual symptoms in many and nearly 25% with unabated symptoms. Dextrose injection has been utilized empirically for many years and a marked reduction in pain and luxation after intraarticular and pericapsular dextrose injection has been reported in a recent RCT. However, small study size and lack of a non injection control have prevented any definitive conclusions as the additional efficacy of including dextrose in the injectate. The mechanism of action of dextrose injection was originally thought to be via a brief stimulation of the inflammatory cascade with resultant production of growth factors. However, non-inflammatory dextrose effects on growth factor production have been demonstrated, and, more recently, dextrose has been found to treat neurogenic inflammation (pain from upregulation of the TRPV1 receptor on peptidergic nerves). This has the theoretical benefit of reducing pain, regardless of the status and position of the intraarticular cartilage or degree of degenerative change of the TMD. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the ability of dextrose injection versus saline injection to reduce pain and improve functional complaints referable to the temporomandibular joint.

The construction industry in Africa and Asia is steadily growing and many industry players, especially in Africa, believe the year 2014 is a year of great opportunity.
In Uganda, key infrastructure projects have flagged off. Projects including New hydro-electric power dams, Government Hospitals, Secondary schools, Technical schools and regional stadia have commenced with many more slated for commissioning early 2014.
This would have been a godsend to thousands of unemployed and quasi-employed youth across the country. Unfortunately most of the youth being churned out of the current education system are terribly deficient in basic practical and technical skills, leaving most employers with no choice but to import the skills.
There a number of factors contributory to the malaise as has been raised in various discussions. Over the years, there has been a decline on emphasis and support by government to technical hands on skilling. Over the recent past, government support to technical education and skilling has not been up to par.
Technical institutes that were established especially during the early 1950's by the missionaries, with the purpose of equipping youth with basic skills in carpentry, joinery and bricklaying, suffered neglect and most of them collapsed. Some that were taken up by government remained understaffed and ill-equipped. A few lucky ones like Uganda polytechnic Kyambogo were later to transform into higher institutions of learning in complete disregard of the intended purpose, which was to instil practical technical skills to lower ranks of the construction fraternity who do the actual work.
Progressively we lost the hands-on artisans and craftsmen at the expense of the higher grades who shun the intricacies of the blue-collar manual work and opt for supervisory roles, the "boss syndrome". Hence the current crop of elitist diplomas and graduates that floods the current job market albeit with limited practical abilities and strengths.
It is not uncommon nowadays to see expatriates on sites working as steel fixers, bricklayers, carpenters, name it, the kind that would fully engage our crop of youth. When faced with such a spectre we tend to apportion blame on whomever allows expatriates to compete with locals for blue collar jobs oblivious of the hard cold truth that we are terribly deficient in the required manual skills.
The situation has been worsened by the increasing virtualization of almost every aspect of modern life. The virtual reality manifested through computerization has quickly replaced traditional work methods and practices. The softening of most thought and work processes has impaired all efforts of imparting manual skills on modern youth especially in developing countries. The current youth have grown through a life punctuated with simulations and virtual reality, a life of virtual trades and interactions, a life of cell phones, Mobile money, Automatic Teller Machines, PayPal, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, WhatsApp and Computer Aided Design, all at the expense of real life interaction and learning.
Skills for doing the actual work can never be learnt the soft way. Real life skills are mastered through grueling hours of practice and toil.
Most developed nations transitioned over the ages from pre-industrial (primitive), through the Industrial and now the Post- industrial (information and service) age making serious benchmarks along the way. It's these benchmarks have steered their civilizations along subsequent development phases.
Africa especially the part south of the Sahara has barely leaped from the peasant (read primitive) living and is seen to be quickly embracing the post-industrial, service and information driven age of computerization and virtualization without a backbone of infrastructure, industries and skills to provide for the real needs.
A lot therefore needs to be done to close the blatant skills gap in order to consolidate and sustain the nation's upcoming infrastructure gains.
The government has already embarked on an initiative towards strengthening technical and vocational training, with the primary objective of ensuring that all government supported tertiary education is devoted to skills development especially in agriculture, business, sports, technical and vocational education. There are various rationale through which this is achievable, notably, the Skilling Uganda, BTVET (Business, Technical and Vocational Education Training) STRATEGIC PLAN 2011-2020, UGANDA VISION 2040, Article 261, the millennium development Goals and the Education for All Global Movement.
A number of Technical Schools have already been slated for strengthening in terms of provision of new modern workshops, Libraries, training equipment and staff training with the support of various development agencies such as ADB, IDB, OFID, JICA and KOICA.
This promising development however, can only be sustainable and yield the intended results if more is done in developing a competence driven curriculum. There is also need for mutual understanding between the education sector and the industries for provision of on-job-training and industry exposure of students, provision of scholarships by the relevant industries to skilled students and placement of technical and vocational graduates.

Lately, we've been a little miffed. While we love leopard accents and ladylike satchels and hints of faux fur, there's been an annoying dearth of bauble-minded trends over the past few months. Sure, chunky chokers and bib necklaces were all the rage last year, but since then we've noticed nary a single jewelry must-have--until now! Yes, dear readers, just in time for the holidays, we have a new accessory necessity on our hands: cascading earrings. These shoulder-grazers have shimmied their way back into the limelight and are currently adorning the lovely lobes of some of our favorite tastemakers, like Kate Bosworth and Rachel Zoe. So what makes these baubles different from your chandelier earrings of yore? Well, these statement earrings are chock full of drama--often landing as low as the collarbone--which is why they're the ideal accent for wintery neutrals and party-perfect ensembles alike!
In order to shed more light on this trend, we'd like to take a moment to look at two designer collections that eschewed restraint and pulled out all the delectably decadent stops: Christian Dior and Etro. At the former, John Galliano created an elegantly equestrian vibe and sent models down the runway in enchanting lingerie-like dresses in romantic pastel hues, contrasted by tweed and leather blazers, jodhpurs, and coats. The wispy silk chiffon dresses, like the lovely princess-cut Marlett Dress ($20,000, 800.929.3467) featured today, were finished off with long, multi-strand Podium Pierced Earrings ($900, 800.929.3467) and fishtail braids, resulting in a modern, Jane Austen-worthy aesthetic. Yet delicate cascading earrings are not the only option when it comes to this jewelry trend, as evidenced at Etro's F/W 10 show where Veronica Etro produced a collection of looks for refined world-travelers via paisley or animal-print pants, colored furs, kimono gowns, and refined silky blazers. While just as impressive in length as Dior's versions, Etro's Ethnic Earrings ($1235, 212.317.9096)--which were used to accent an ensemble comprised of Silk Leopard Printed Pants ($1285, 212.317.9096), a Wool Sweater ($832, 212.317.9096) and Jacket ($2116, 212.317.9096)--have a more Cleopatra-inspired sensibility, proving the versatility of this must-have accessory.
Yet, drool-worthy runway shows aside, what really piqued our interest in cascading earrings is the number of standout stylesetters who are wearing them. For example, the recently cropped-coiffed Ashlee Simpson displayed her new pretty pixie-cut and some incredibly long vintage Chanel earrings at the Decades Denim Launch Party in Beverly Hills earlier last month. Her geometric ruby shoulder-grazers are absolutely mind-blowing and we love how she paired them with a vintage sequin Chanel dress for a high-impact, holiday ensemble. Apparently vintage Chanel is the way to go when it comes to selecting this ear-wear: Rachel Zoe also picked up an old-school pair for an event celebrating the artist at Doug Aitkin at the MOCA museum in Los Angeles this fall. She let the spotlight land on her fabulously festive earrings by wearing them with a chic, Audrey Hepburn-inspired updo. Of course, an updo is always a lovely way to display your dangly earrings as demonstrated by two top-tier members of the stylish set, Kate Bosworth and Leighton Meester. The latter achieved an understated and stylish look when she went with clean, sweptback hair and Fallon's Sound Bite Cable Tassel Earrings ($275) for a Vogue & Derek Lam Spring 2011 event at the designer's store in New York City, while the former opted for a more classical coif to attend the third season premiere of True Blood at the Arclight Theater in Hollywood earlier this year. Bosworth's Samantha Willis Midnight Nightingale Earrings ($360)--currently available in black--provided a flawless finish to her red-carpet look.
If you're ready to get festively accessorized for the holiday season yourself, we have a bevy of baubles for you to try! For those who are looking to create a cascading Dior-esque aesthetic we recommend Marlyn Schiff's Chain Drop Earrings, Nicole Romano's Tia Earrings ($324), or Forever 21's Dangling Heart & Chain Earrings ($4), all multi-strand iterations. Of course, as Leighton Meester demonstrated, Fenton/Fallon has a myriad of shoulder-grazing offerings--loaded with signature tough-girl edge--like their mismatched black and crystal Vieuphoria Weeping Earrings ($200). Looking for a couple of other favorites? Well, we happened to stumble across Sachin + Babi's Calista Earrings ($160) which are a whopping six-inches long and Miguel Ases' 3 Drop Earrings ($195) which are a little less daunting at three-and-a-half inches but just as worthy of your consideration. To add a dose of color to your ensemble try Copenhagen's Triple Drop Earrings ($175) or Kendra Scott's Ora Earrings ($100) in a lovely lemony hue. Finally, to infuse your outfit with a bit of the exotic à la Etro, reach for the Gaia Earrings ($275) from Dori Csengeri--whose entire range of mixed-media earrings are spot-on for nailing this look--or Noir Jewelry's Oversized Beaded Earrings ($132) which will surely graze your shoulders too!--Liza Kaplan

By COREY BLUEMELEmery County Progress reporter
On the south side of Carbon County, a new Castle Gate town has sprung up. It is a cowboy action shooting range that has been built as part of the North Springs Shooting Park and Recreation area.
The shooting range is located on Wattis Road, in what was traditionally a place where miners mined and cattlemen ran their stock.
As one enters the park, the first thing they see is the new log lodge building. This building will house the park managers headquarters. Scott Olsen, who will be on the premises 24/7, has been named the new range manager, The lodge also has several meeting rooms and other facilities.
Adjacent to the lodge are the long distance shooting ranges. There is a 100 yard, a 600 yard and a 1,000 yard range. Each of these ranges will have permanent and moveable targets at those yardages and many other varying yardages.
"This facility was designed with self-sufficiency in mind," said Olsen during a tour for the committee that is organizing the Castle Country Ecomomic Development Summit for this fall. "It isn't hooked up to any power lines, but is powered by a generator. There are no water lines here but we have cisterns to facilitate the restrooms and kitchens in the park."
Olsen also noted that the park will have a camping area that has 118 dry camping spots. And an RV dump is being installed.
Olsen explained that the shooting ranges for rifles, muzzleloaders and shotguns is located near the lodge. Further into the park is a law enforcement certification range and an archery range that is being installed. The archery range will have static targets as well as 3-D targets.
The final stop on the tour of the park was the new Castle Gate town. In many ways it looks like a set from old western movies with only the fronts of buildings being in the actual range area. There is a church, a livery, a saloon, a sheriffs office and jail and many other buildings. In this town, pop up targets are being installed.
Cowboy action shooting, which that facility is built for, is gaining popularity around the state and this facility will host many competitions and family outings as well.
"Public safety is our focus, along with family fun," said Don Burge, who was at the range working on targets and who is part of the committee that helped to design and organize the range. "In the competitions to be held here, one person shoots at a time and that is the only loaded firearm on the range during that activity. The shooter has two pistols, one rifle and one shotgun. We take John Wayne movie type scenarios for the shoots."
Ernie Bentley, president of the local cowboy action shooting club was also there working away.
"We have a really good chance to host the state championships here," he said. "This would bring in excess of 200 shooters to the area. In the future we may even apply to hold a regional competition here."
Members of these clubs dress in period costume and shoot single action firearms. Each also has their own stage name, such as Murderin' Maude, Fargo Kid, Dingo Man, and Star Gazer Man. Bentley also explained that the targets which will be used on the shotgun range were invented by a local club member. These targets are being installed on many other ranges in Utah and the surrounding states.
"We are receiving many calls about the 1,000 yard range as well," he said. "There are not many of those around and this one will be the best of all of them. We hope to cater to all disciplines of shooting. We also have plans to put in a museum focusing on the area. Our anticipated opening date is May 1."
The Castle Country Economic Development Summit committee was touring the site because they anticipate holding an evening event at the North Springs facility during the conference.

Turning Point
Dan from Knicks Vision wanted to contribute some thoughts in this space. He writes a great blog and is very passionate and up and coming fan and blogger. In many ways I feel for Dan because he's young and is dying to see the Knicks be decent. That energy inspires many of us more seasoned Knicks fans who have forgotten success. Dan will be contributing Turning Points following games and here is his first edition:
The problem is for the team is that there was no turning point. Consider the chart above…
Is it possible for a turning point to occur before a team walks out? On Sunday night at the World's Most Famous Arena, it seemed like it.
Dahntay Jones's role in the lack of a real turning point should not be understated. He came up with many game-changing plays for the Pacers that stopped the Knicks crowd from getting on their feet. He drew an offensive foul on Carmelo Anthony; he created timely hoops for himself; he got to the line. It was a quality performance for Jones as a whole.
But in reality, did the Knicks beat themselves?
They shot just 36.6% from the field, had just 11 assists total, and allowed the Pacers to make 57.1% of their shots.
If they had pulled together a run, you could have highlighted the turnover Ronny Turiaf forced in the fourth quarter or one of Bill Walker's threes as the "game changer", but that type of run was nonexistent. Stoudemire, Anthony and Billups played well, but did they execute when it mattered most – in the final minutes of the game? The blatant, obvious, and answer Knicks fan don't want to hear is no. The Knicks got down 20, and they stayed down for the entirety of the game. That's the primary reason a turning point never fully formulated.
The lineup that was most successful against the Knicks was unsurprisingly Tyler Hansbrough, Darren Collison, Brandon Rush, Josh McRoberts, and James Posey. When all five were on the court together, they pulled a +9 in the third quarter put down. If forced to provide one time period where the Knicks lost, it was there.
The turning point may actually occur on Tuesday night, when the Knicks face-off against the Pacers for the second time. If New York comes out rejuvenated and ready for the challenge that lies ahead of them, they can beat anyone.

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Long-Term Cleanups
Short-term cleanups can correct many hazardous waste problems and eliminate most threats to human health and the environment. Some sites, however, require lengthier cleanups. These may include restoring groundwater and taking measures to protect wetlands, estuaries, and other ecological resources. These sites are often caused by years of pollution and may take several years, even decades, to clean. At any point during the long-term cleanup process, interim short-term cleanups may be conducted. To locate long-term cleanups in New England, see the Find New England Sites area of this Web site.
Steps in the long-term cleanup process include:
- Identify those responsible for pollution (begin Enforcement Process)
- If appropriate, include the site on the National Priorities List
- Study type and extent of contamination and evaluate cleanup options (Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study)
- Propose a cleanup plan and respond to public comments
- Choose cleanup plan (Record of Decision)
- Develop engineering designs for cleanup (Remedial Design)
- Cleanup the site (Remedial Action)
- Maintain and monitor the site (Operations and Maintenance)
Identify Those Responsible For Pollution (Begin Enforcement Process)
Throughout the cleanup process, EPA works to identify companies or individuals who may have caused or contributed to the pollution at the site. These companies and individuals are known as Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs). After completing a search to identify PRPs, EPA's first choice is for the PRPs to pay for and/or conduct the necessary studies and cleanup activities under the supervision of EPA. If the PRPs are unable or unwilling to do the work, EPA will fund the cleanup through the Superfund. EPA and the Department of Justice will then take appropriate enforcement actions to recover all the government's costs for cleaning up the site.
For further information on EPA's Superfund Enforcement Program, contact either the EPA New England Superfund Legal Office, or refer to EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance Superfund (CERCLA) Enforcement Web site.
If Appropriate, Include the Site On the National Priorities List
In most cases, sites that are candidates for long-term cleanup become listed on the National Priorities List (NPL). To evaluate the dangers posed by hazardous waste sites, EPA has developed a scoring system called the Hazard Ranking System (HRS). EPA uses the information collected during the assessment phase of the process to score sites according to the danger they may pose to public health and the environment. Sites that score high enough on the Hazard Ranking System are eligible for the National Priorities List. A site may also be proposed for the National Priorities List if the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) finds that it poses a significant risk to public health or if the site is chosen as a state's top priority site. The proposal is published in the Federal Register and the public has an opportunity to comment in writing on whether the site should be included on the National Priorities List. Fact Sheets are available on the Web for all New England sites listed on the NPL.
Study Type and Extent of Contamination and Evaluate Cleanup Options (Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study)
A detailed study of the site is done to identify the cause and extent of contamination at the site, the possible threats to the environment and the people nearby, and options for cleaning up the site.
Propose a Cleanup Plan and Respond To Public Comments
EPA uses information from the EPA Remedial Investigaton/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) to develop and present a proposed plan for long-term cleanup to citizens, and to local and state officials for comment. The proposed plan describes the various cleanup options under consideration and identifies the option EPA prefers. The community has at least 30 days to comment on the proposed plan. EPA may also invite community members to a public meeting to express their views and discuss the plan with EPA (and sometimes state) officials.
Choose Cleanup Plan (Record of Decision)
Once the public's concerns are addressed, EPA publishes a Record of Decision, which describes how the Agency plans to clean up the site. EPA will also notify the community of the cleanup decision.
Develop Engineering Designs For Cleanup (Remedial Design)
Next, the cleanup method is designed to address the unique conditions at the site where it will be used. This is called the Remedial Design. The design and actual cleanup is conducted by EPA, the state, or by the parties responsible for the contamination at the site. EPA closely oversees this design phase of the cleanup at the site. When the design is completed, EPA informs the community of the design and the next steps that will take place at the site.
Cleanup the Site (Remedial Action)
The cleanup process itself involves the removal, treatment, and/or disposal of contaminants at a site, and then the restoration of the site to a condition that is not dangerous to people or the environment. This step may involve different cleanup methods, such as the construction of a plant to treat contaminated groundwater, or the excavation and treatment of contaminated soil. Visit the Behind the Scenes area of this Web site to read real stories about the cleanup process in action.
Maintain and Monitor the Site (Operations and Maintenance)
EPA can put in place equipment and manpower necessary to clean up a site, but it may take a long time to return a site to the way it was before it was contaminated (as in the case of long-term treatment of contaminated groundwater). Some sites, due to the extent of contamination, will never return to the way they were prior to the pollution; however, EPA will make sure that the site will be safe for the people living around the site now and in the future. EPA regularly monitors sites to make sure they remain safe. If there is any indication that a problem has arisen, immediate action will be taken to make the site safe again. NPL sites that meet all federal cleanup standards are deleted from the National Priorities List.

Health benefits of donating blood | Sankalp India Foundation
When you donate blood it is not only the recipient of your blood who benefits medically, you too are the winner. Medical research has proven that regular blood donors enjoy numerous health benefits. Here are a few direct benefits for you as a blood donor.
Health benefits of donating blood
Reduce the chance of heart diseases
It has been observed that increase in blood iron level increases the chance of heart disease. Iron is involved in the oxidation of cholesterol and this process is believed to be detrimental for the arteries. Increases blood iron level favors this process of cholesterol oxidation and thus leads to heart disease.1 Regular blood donation helps especially males in loosing iron on regular basis. It helps in reducing the chance of heart attack to one third.2
Enhance the production of new Red Blood Cells
As the blood is withdrawn from the donors body there is decrease inblood cells. To replenish it, immediately new cells are produced by marrow andthis way blood gets refreshed. Therefore donating blood helps in stimulating generationof new blood cells.3
Helps in fighting hemochromitosis
Hemochromitosis is a genetic disorder; also know as iron overload disorder wherein iron accumulates in the body tissue because or improper iron metabolism. This condition may lead to organ damage.3 Though this problem is uncommon in Indians4, people with little iron overload also can easily donation blood and reduce their iron content. Taking example from other countries, one in every 300-400 people in England suffers from this disorder and American Red Cross blood services accept such donors as safe donor as it's a genetic disorder, it won't be harmful to the person receiving blood from such donors.3
Burns calories
One can diet or remain fit by donating blood regularly. One pint of blood (450 ml) when donated burns 650 calories in donor's body. 3, 5
Invigorated feeling in elderly people
It has been mentioned in various sites though not proved that elderly people in good health have reported feeling invigorated or reenergized by giving blood on a regular basis.6
Basic blood test is done
Apart from all these benefits a donor gets a mini blood test done before donating blood. This includes Hematocrit i.e. HB level test, Blood pressure is measured, body weight is checked. After the blood is collected it tested for 5 major diseases. Those are Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, Syphilis and malaria. Donor is immediately informed if any of these test found to be positive.

This is a neat compilation and I had a pointer to the same in the post - http://ngopost.org/story.php?title=Donate_Life__More---
This is interesting! Mostly people project blood donation as a charity work, but I don't think many people know how it can be good for the donor. This aspect must be made clear, along with any potential disadvantages as well.. this may sound counter-productive, but people may have some fears in back of their mind, and it will be good to talk about the real ones openly and refute the other ones.
This is good, I had always known that blood donation does not do any harm, but was not aware that it gives so much of benefit.
I am a regular blood donor. Due to lack of education, its very difficult to convince your dear ones to donate blood.
I think public awareness has to be created, to draw more donors.

Midwest Living Review
It's pretty hard to have a bad experience at the American Club, touted as a Forbes five star resort for 25 years running -- the only such rated resort in the Midwest -- but now, with newly remodeled and refurbished guest rooms, it's nearly impossible. Any room at the luxurious American Club is going to be above par, and the newly remodeled rooms are no exception. They are denlike, dark in a rich chocolate kind of way, and luxurious, with every kind of amenity you could wish for. The star is the bed itself, plush with plenty of pillows and draped with a down comforter and fine Italian sheets. Six overhead tea lights (with a sliding dimmer switch within arm's reach on each side) provide adjustable reading light, as well as backlighting for the dark leather headboard and the velvet drapery behind it. All of the furnishings are a cut above as well, provided by Kohler subsidiaries McGuire and Baker. Of course the bathrooms, outfitted exclusively with Kohler products, do not disappoint. The entry-level Deluxe rooms are now retrofitted with Ann Sacks-tiled luxury showers, complete with the famous Kohler overhead Rainshower tile, two side Watertile Bodysprays, and a hand-shower nozzle. The lavatories and faucets, both in the bathroom and the wet bar, are typical Kohler -- as much works of art as they are functional. Throw blankets, magazines, lamps, the television hidden behind a louver door panel -- all these things make for a feel decidedly more home than away. Factor in the resort amenities and you understand why the American Club sweeps the AAA rating every year.

Gross / Net Expense Ratio
7-Day Current / Effective Ann. Yield
The current yield more closely reflects current earnings than does the total return.
7-Day Current Annualized Yield – A simple interest calculation. A measure of return that divides average net income received over a 7-day period by the average balance in your account and multiplies the result by 365 to get an annual equivalent. This measure reflects income actually received over the last 7 days and differs from Effective Annualized Yield in that it does not reflect compounding.
7-Day Effective Annualized Yield – A compound interest calculation. A measure of return that compounds the 7-Day Current Yield to an annual figure. This measure assumes that dividends are reinvested and that an investor will earn the 7-Day Yield for an entire year. It also reflects interest earned on interest, or compounded interest.

Beginning August 27, 2013, part or all of the investment management fees are being voluntarily waived. In addition, Advisors is reimbursing certain other fund expenses. Without these changes, the 7-day current and effective net annualized yields and total returns for the fund would have been lower. The suspension of reimbursements and the addition of waivers are voluntary and may be discontinued at any time without notice.
An investment in the fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other U.S. government agency. The fund will attempt to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, but it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

2The performance shown for the benchmark is computed from August 1999.
Morningstar is an independent service that rates mutual funds and variable annuities.
For each fund/account with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's/account's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. Where applicable, Morningstar's performance rankings are based on linked performance that considers the differences in expense ratios, while actual performance data shown does not reflect such differences.
The top 10 percent of funds/accounts in a category receive five stars, the next 22.5 percent receive four stars, and the next 35 percent receive three stars, the next 22.5 percent receive two stars and the bottom 10 percent receive one star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund/account within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) Morningstar proprietary ratings on U.S.-domiciled funds/accounts reflect historical risk-adjusted performance, are subject to change every month. They are derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Please note, Morningstar now rates group variable annuities within the open-end mutual fund universe.
