pollution on vascular plants in the Northwest Miramichi River
system. Canadian Journal of Botany 48: 1647-56.
Abstract: Copper-zinc mining pollution effects on riparian and aquatic vascular plants were studied in the
Northwest Miramichi River system of northern New Brunswick. After a period of 8 years, the riparian vascular flora of
the river system's gravel shores has been completely eliminated or seriously reduced. The most sensitive plants
are the submersed aquatic species, followed by riparian dicotyledons. Monocotyledons are less sensitive than
dicotyledons and Equisetum arvense the least sensitive species. A rough index of pollution severity was devised
based on the absence of species or species groups which would normally be present under unpolluted conditions.

Human impacts on the stream–groundwater exchange zone.Environmental Management 29(6): 763-781.
Abstract: Active exchanges of water and dissolved material between the stream and groundwater in many porous
sand- and gravel-bed rivers create a dynamic ecotone called the hyporheic zone. Because it lies between two
heavily exploited freshwater resources—rivers and roundwater—the hyporheic zone is vulnerable to impacts
coming to it through both of these habitats. This review focuses on the direct and indirect effects of human
activity on ecosystem functions of the hyporheic zone. River regulation, mining, agriculture, urban, and
industrial activities all have the potential to impair interstitial bacterial and invertebrate biota and disrupt
the hydrological connections between the hyporheic zone and stream, groundwater, riparian, and floodplain
ecosystems. Until recently, our scientific ignorance of yporheic processes has perhaps excused the inclusion of
this ecotone in river management policy. However, this no longer is the case as we become increasingly aware of the
central role that the hyporheic zone plays in the aintenance of water quality and as a habitat and refuge
for fauna. To fully understand the impacts of human activity on the hyporheic zone, river managers need to
work with scientists to conduct long-term studies over large stretches of river. River rehabilitation and
protection strategies need to prevent the degradation of linkages between the hyporheic zone and surrounding
habitats while ensuring that it remains isolated from toxicants. Strategies that prevent anthropogenic
restriction of exchanges may include the periodic release of environmental flows to flush silt and reoxygenate
sediments, maintenance of riparian buffers, effective land use practices, and suitable groundwater and surface water
extraction policies.

Kondolf, G.M. 1994. Geomorphic and environmental effects of instream gravel mining. Landscape Urban Planning 28: 225–243.
Abstract: Instream gravel mining involves the mechanical removal of gravel and sand directly from the
active channel of rivers and streams. Active channel deposits are desirable as construction aggregate because
they are typically durable (weak materials having been eliminated in river transport), well-sorted, and
frequently located near markets or on transportation routes. Instream gravel mining commonly causes incision
of the channel bed, which can propagate upstream and downstream for kilometers. As a result, bridges and
other structures may be undermined, spawning gravels lost and alluvial water tables lowered. In analyzing the
effects of instream gravel mining, a sediment budget analysis sheds light on the relative magnitude of gravel
supply, transport and extraction. Computer models of sediment transport are simplifications of complex
natural processes; they can be useful components of a sediment budget analysis but should not be relied upon
alone. A historical analysis of channel change and sediment supply is needed to understand the underlying
processes responsible for present conditions. While instream gravel mining can be a useful tool in flood
control and river stabilization in aggrading rivers, most rivers in the developed world (certainly the vast
majority below reservoirs) are not aggrading and are more prone to incision-related effects of instream
gravel mining.

Abstract: The Alabama canebrake pitcher plant, Sarracenia rubra ssp. alabamensis, is an endemic
species found in just three counties of central Alabama. This study includes a census of this species,
as well as an assessment of the viability of each population. Only eleven sites remain, ranging in size
from 2 m super(2) to 2,200 m super(2). Numbers of individual plants at each site ranged from 4 to 2,241.
There was an uneven distribution of individuals between sites, with 60% of the total occurring at just
one site. Most sites were classified as seepage bogs with characteristic acid soils. Associated species
included other typical wetland plants and three other kinds of carnivorous plants, and invasive woody plants
were prevalent at most sites. Only three of the eleven sites were considered to contain viable populations.
Threats to these sites included development, livestock grazing, mining, and the absence of fire. We conclude
that S. rubra ssp. alabamensis requires immediate management action to maintain these dwindling populations.

Biological Conservation 61: 59-71.
Abstract: A section of the extensive sand dunes
at Kaitorete Spit, Canterbury, New Zealand, has been mined for sand over a period of 40 years. Unmined
dunes are dominated by dense stands of the otherwise now restricted indigenous sand binder Desmoschoenus
spiralis , making them an area of great conservation value. Plant communities on mined surfaces of
various age and on unmined dunes were examined by using classification and ordination. Classification
clearly distinguished communities of unmined and mined dunes respectively. The principal ordination
gradients represent the typical landward dune sequence and the mined/unmined differences. Although
there are sites on unmined dunes that carry vegetation of the mined group, there is no evidence
that mined sites have recovered communities typical of the unmined dunes. The conclusion is that there
is no sign of recovery of the original dune communities despite partial colonisation by Desmoschoenus.

table declines. Environmental Management 23(3): 347-358.
Abstract: Populus species typically dominate riparian ecosystems throughout arid and semiarid
regions of North American and efforts to minimize loss of riparian Populus requires an integrated
understanding of the role of surface and groundwater dynamics in the establishment of new,
and maintenance of existing, stands. In a controlled, whole-stand field experiment, we
quantified responses of Populus morphology, growth, and mortality to water stress resulting
from sustained water table decline following in-channel sand mining along an ephemeral sandbed
stream in eastern Colorado, USA. We measured live crown volume, radial stem growth, annual branch
increment, and mortality of 689 live Populus deltoides subsp. monilifera stems over four years
in conjunction with localized water table declines. Measurements began one year prior to
mining and included trees in both affected and unaffected areas. Populus demonstrated a threshold
response to water table declines in medium alluvial sands; sustained declines ≥1 m produced
leaf desiccation and branch dieback within three weeks and significant declines in live crown
volume, stem growth, and 88% mortality over a three-year period. Declines in live crown volume
proved to be a significant leading indicator of mortality in the following year. A logistic
regression of tree survival probability against the prior year's live crown volume was significant
(−2 log likelihood = 270, χ2 with 1 df = 232, P < 0.0001) and trees with absolute declines in live crown volume of ≥30 during one year had survival probabilities <0.5 in the following year. In contrast, more gradual water table declines of ~0.5 m had no measurable effect on mortality, stem
growth, or live crown volume and produced significant declines only in annual branch growth increments. Developing quantitative information on the timing and extent of morphological responses and mortality of Populus to the rate, depth, and duration of water table declines can assist in the design of management prescriptions to minimize
impacts of alluvial groundwater depletion on existing riparian Populus forests.
Trites, Marsha; Bayley, Suzanne E. 2009. Vegetation communities in continental boreal wetlands along a salinity
gradient: Implications for oil sands mining reclamation. Aquatic Botany 91(1): 27-39.
Abstract: Oil sands mining is a major disturbance to boreal landscapes in
north-eastern Alberta, Canada. Freshwater peatlands dominate the landscape prior to mining, but the post-mining reclamation landscape will have wetlands that span a salinity gradient. Little is known about the
native vegetation communities in subsaline and saline marshes in the boreal region, yet these
communities offer the best potential for reclamation of wetlands after oil sands mining.
The overall intent of this study is to provide information on natural wetland communities along
a gradient of salinities that can be used to enhance oil sands wetland reclamation. Our
specific study objectives were to: (1) characterize environmental conditions of industrial and natural wetlands, (2)
characterize vegetation communities (composition and diversity) in these wetlands, (3) and exlore how vegetation communities (composition and diversity) may be influenced by environmental conditions. We surveyed vegetation
communities and environmental variables in 25 natural boreal wetlands along a salinity gradient and in 10 industrial marshes in the oil sands mining region. We observed an electrical conductivity (EC) range of 0.5–28mScm<sup>−1</sup> in the wetlands, indicating that salinity similar to or higher than anticipated for oil sands reclamation is naturally present in some boreal wetlands. We observed low species richness in both industrial
and natural wetlands. There were 101 plant species observed in all the wetlands, with 82 species recorded in the natural wetlands and 44 species in industrial wetlands. At the plot level, richness decreased with increasing EC and
pH, but increased with soil organic matter. Using Cluster Analysis and indicator species analysis we defined 16 distinct vegetation community types, each dominated by one or two species of graminoid vegetation. In general
these communities resembled those of boreal or prairie marshes. Electrical conductivity, pH, and water depth were important factors correlating with community composition of the wetlands, however peat depth and soil organic
content did not differ among community types. Not all community types were present in industrial wetlands, indicating that these communities may need to be planted to enhance overall diversity in future reclaimed oil sands

Musicians' daughters have always been a fascination here at WWW HQ. It started years ago with Sir PaulÂ's wildly talented designing daughter Stella McCartney, followed by a keen interest in other stylish progeny like Georgia May Jagger, the sisters Geldof, Daisy Lowe, Theodora Richards, and Lily Collins. Today we're delighted to add a new member to the stylish-daughter-of-rock-royalty club: Tali Lennox. Unlike the other ladies, Lennox is the daughter of one of the coolest female singers of all time (hello, Annie Lennox!), but her personal style is definitely just as noteworthy. Whether she's glammed up in a gilded number from Dolce & Gabbana, bohemian in a butterfly crochet top and cutoffs, or showing a little rebellious spirit in leather or crop tops, Tali Lennox is definitely on our radar.
The stunning seventeen-year-old model is definitely a diverse dresser who knows how to rock everything from a fancy frock to all-weather leather! Regarding the latter, Lennox was spotted at the British Fashion Council NEWGEN Awards in June looking edgy in a deconstructed red plaid jacket and seriously substantial heels. But what really stole the show was her skater-skirt in this seasonÂ's coolest material: leather. We love how she paired the standout separates with a basic white t-shirt, and highly recommend you do too. Just make sure you pick up Diane von FurstenbergÂ's McClure Distressed Leather Skirt ($445) for a look-a-like shaped skirt or Robert Rodriguez's Plisse Leather Miniskirt ($418), and pair it with Marc by Marc Jacobs' Rain Snapper Trench-Style Short Jacket ($188) and Camilla Skovgaard's Wedge Ankle Boots ($591) for an equally tough-chic look.
Of course, if you want to turn up the statement-making volume even higher, why not go for the gold, as Lennox did in a Dolce & Gabbana dress for a Fashion Week S/S 10 party in Milan. WeÂ've long been a fan of strong shoulders and peplum, so this dress, which deftly combines the two trends, is a perfect ten. If you want to mimic our GOTM's metallic ensemble, just check out Sandro's Rayonnante Devore Mini Dress ($370) or Brian Lichtenberg's Gold One-Shoulder Glitter Dress ($398); both are snazzy, currently in stock, and significantly less expensive than her exact designer piece.
And while we could wax poetic about Lennox's fancier fare, we are also equally smitten with her laidback, insouciant looks. For example, at the London launch of MAHIKI & Gallo Rose's summer pop-up shop a few months ago, Lennox opted for a knotted gingham top, which she smartly paired with slim-silhouetted trousers and killer platforms for a flirty, pseudo-fifties look. To emulate this va-va-va-voom ensemble, try Guess' Lizel Cropped Plaid Top ($26) with black skinnies, such as Blank Denim's Back Zipper Crop Jeans ($79) or J Brand's 935 Low-Rise Capri Jeans ($174), and Jean-Michel CazabatÂ's Willa Wedges ($346). Or you could simply go for some summer-perfect cutoffs and a breezy white tee, as Lennox did at the launch party for the Edinburgh Festival's summer season. To recreate this casual look, try Sienna's Scalloped Crochet Tunic ($52) with Urban Renewal's Cutoff Denim Shorts ($28) and a borrowed-from-the-boys brimmed hat, like Oak's Grey Fedora ($48). Just follow LennoxÂ's well-dressed lead, and youÂ'll be hitting all the right style notes à la Tali in no time flat! Â--KM

What is a portfolio?
Your portfolio is simply a collection of the best examples of your artwork. Your artwork might be traditional, digital or a combination of both. Think of it as a means to show us how creative and talented you are!
Why is a portfolio required for admission to an art school?
If you attend an art college, the majority of your courses will be studio art courses. A portfolio is our best indication of your potential to be successful in those courses. It also lets us get to know you as an artist in a way that goes far beyond grades and test scores.
How do colleges evaluate portfolios?
In many cases, it's the most important part of your application. Don't let that scare you. It makes sense when you think about the number of art courses you'll be taking. Many colleges look for potential. If you were already an artistic genius, you wouldn't need to go to art school. We take into consideration how much art instruction you've had, and we understand that high school art programs vary greatly. Some have been cut out altogether. We also look at your work as one part (an important part, but one part) of your total application and your grades, difficulty of courses you've taken, recommendations and essay are also important. If you're a great student, chances are you'll make a great artist someday, even if you're not there yet. No two applications are alike, so we look at all of them individually. Individuality is expressed in the portfolio through concepts, ideas and execution. Successful artists need to be creative thinkers. We value your creativity as much, if not more, than your technical skills. We also understand that high school students are still developing as artists. Finding the perfect fit is essential. We firmly believe there is a perfect school for everyone.
What if I don't have a portfolio?
If you don't have a portfolio, or you hate your portfolio, or the dog ate you portfolio, there are drawing exercises on the Ringling website you may turn in instead. Even if you already have a portfolio, feel free to try out the exercises.
What if I'm not good enough?
You're probably better than you think you are! If we believe you're not ready, it's not the end of the world, or even the end of your dreams. We will recommend that you take some beginning art courses, probably at a community college, to strengthen your portfolio so you can re-apply successfully.
How can I get feedback on my portfolio before I apply?
There's no better way to find out if you're on the right track than to show your work to an art college admissions person. You can arrange for an individual portfolio review at Ringling and most other art colleges by setting up an appointment to visit the campus. You can also go to a National Portfolio Day. See below.
What is a National Portfolio Day?
National Portfolio Days are like college fairs just for art students. You can meet with representatives from anywhere from 20 to 70 art colleges and university art departments, depending on the location. In addition to having your questions answered and gathering information, you may bring your portfolio for informal or formal review. Your portfolio can be at any level. The representatives really want to help you! National Portfolio Days are held in major cities in North America on weekends between September and the end of January. All the colleges that participate are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (http://nasad.arts-accredit.org/.) For more about National Portfolio Days, visit the National Portfolio Day Association website at www.portfolioday.net.

PHOENIX, Arizona (KPNX) -- Hundreds of Phoenix police officers stood in for a fellow fallen officer when they attended his daughter's kindergartner's graduation on Wednesday.
Cheers replaced tears as a bright blue wall of officers honored one of their own by standing up for his little princess.
All the officers were there to support a 6-year-old little girl, Tatum Raetz.
On Sunday her dad, Officer Daryl Raetz, was killed in the line of duty.
"He was a very good friend. I wish he was here see her. I hope to do him proud," said fellow officer Sara Garza.
Tatum was given flowers and a teddy bear, her mom Stephanie a warm embrace. Daryl was supposed to be there, but instead Tatum had an entire family of dads and a few extra moms.

Analysis: Speeding ticket least of Oregon football's worries
EUGENE, Ore. - I was on vacation in Hawaii when I heard about Cliff Harris being cited for driving 118 miles an hour on Interstate 5 north of Eugene.
The first thing I wondered was, "What kind of car was he driving?"
The 2011 Nissan Altima, as it turns out, was rented by a university employee.
And there's where the rubber meets the road, both literally and figuratively. This incident is sure to broaden the scope of the ongoing NCAA investigation into Oregon football.
Imagine you're on the case of looking into possible improper payments by the University of Oregon to several recruiting/scouting services.
The fact that Oregon paid one man $25,000 for a service that typically costs a fraction of that looks bad, and in fact, could be bad news for the Ducks. Given what has gone down with Ohio State and Terrelle Pryor the last few months, this looks worse.
If you're that NCAA investigator, you may be booking a few more flights and spending plenty more nights in Eugene hotels before the digging is done.
And that's what the NCAA will do. Dig. And dig deep.
The whole "where there's smoke, there's fire" thing applies in these situations, and they usually wind up in flames before someone breaks out the fire extinguisher.
Many questions remain.
- Why did the woman hand over the keys to a car she rented and for which she was likely ultimately responsible per the rental agreement?
- Why was Harris even driving with a suspended license?
- And the big one: is renting cars for athletes a common practice inside the UO athletic department?
Harris' penchant for speed is well documented.
He loves going fast, especially when fielding a punt with a well-blocked return out in front of him.
If the NCAA finds he has received improper benefits, he could be going nowhere fast - and he could be taking the Ducks with him.

Press Release-Steyr HS.50 Wins World Championship...Again!
Wilkinson Crowned World Champion in the FCSA Hunter Class Score with his Steyr HS.50
TRUSSVILLE, Ala. (July 13, 2012) Using his out-of-the-box Steyr HS.50 long-range precision rifle, Walter Wilkinson, 56, of Edgewood, NM, bested a field of 31 competitorsmost using highly customized riflesto take the Hunter Class Score World Championship title at the Fifty Caliber Shooters Association World Championships at the NRA Whittington Center near Raton, NM, held July 1st and 2nd. This marks the second year in a row that a competitor with an off-the-shelf Steyr HS.50 has won the Hunter Class, as Eduardo Abril de Fontcuberta walked away with the championship title last year.
Wilkinson, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces sergeant major and current Gunsite Academy instructor, ran up a two-day aggregate score of 274-6X out of a possible 300, beating his next closest competitor, Lee Rasmussen, by two Xs. With his Nightforce NXS 5.5X-22X 56mm scope and the HS.50s stock folding bipod in place, Wilkinsons rifle weighed in at just about 30 lbs. in a class with a 50-lb. limit. The Hunter Class is a 1,000-yd. course of fire consisting of six, five-shot strings, with three strings shot on the first day, and three strings shot on the second day. Due to the wildly varying winds on this range, competitors who shot in the morning of the first day were required to shoot in the afternoon of the second day, and vice versa, to equal the playing field.
Slotted in the first afternoons fourth relay, Wilkinsons consistency, solid wind-doping and holding skills paid off as the winds made an especially tricky display with a 180-degree shift as thunderheads came over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Heading into his morning relay on the second day, Wilkinson found himself in second place with nothing to do but hammer the 12-inch 10-ring to work his way into the championship title.
Wilkinson, who purchased the Steyr HS.50 in 2007 and soon thereafter topped it with a Nightforce scope and a two-tone coat of Krylon paint, began working on load development as a main priority in order to compete in this type of long-range match.
As I was working up a load for the HS.50, I shot groups that amazed me, Wilkinson said. They were the best groups that I have ever shot in my lifeand they were with the .50 BMG!
This didnt make sense to me, he said. With my experience with the performance of the same cartridge overseas, I didnt expect that kind of accuracy out of it. I was getting groups of .214 MOA at 220 yards, and I didnt know what to think. All the bullets were going in the same hole, and it was like Wow, Ive really got a rifle that can shoot here. And since then, with working up different loads and knowing what the gun likes, I have become extremely happy with the HS.50.
In addition to the new Hunter Class World Championship title, Wilkinson was also a member of the Ten-X team, which won the Team World Championship with an aggregate score of 1081-24X combined with an average group size of 14.549 inches for a combination score of 19.508, as compared to the second place teams 35.026. Each team comprised of four shooters with one from each of the four classes represented at the championships: Light, Heavy, Unlimited and Hunter.
On the day prior to the FCSA World Championships, June 30, Wilkinson also topped the winner board of the 600-Yard Practical Match with a score of 123-1X out of 150 possible. Using ball ammo of unknown origin, as did everyone else on the line, this was his third consecutive 600-Yard Practical Match win at the World Championships using the Steyr HS.50.
I offer our most sincere congratulations to Sgt. Maj. Wilkinson on his pair of FCSA World Championship titles, said Scott OBrien, CEO of Steyr Arms. His incredible long-range target-shooting skills, coupled with his amazing ability to read and overcome the ever-changing winds at the NRA Whittington Center and his meticulous load development proved yet again that a highly-skilled competitor can take one of our bone-stock rifles and win a world championshipor twoand maybe even an extra side match win for good measure.
After people have seen my success with the Steyr, several people are really looking hard at this rifle, said Wilkinson. One guy has already bought one to use in the Hunter Class and possibly to use in the Practical Match.

Welcome to the Global Text Project
Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world - Nelson Mandela
We publish open content electronic textbooks that are freely available from this website. We focus on content development and Web distribution, and we will work with relevant authorities to facilitate dissemination by other means when bandwidth is unavailable or inadequate. The goal is to make textbooks available to the many who cannot afford them.
We have experience with developing a free textbook, XML: Managing Data Exchange. This project started in January 2004 when a graduate class at the University of Georgia wrote the first version of the book. Subsequent graduate and undergraduate classes at the University of Georgia and elsewhere have improved and extended the book. It has been used as the XML text in a variety of classes, and in each case the class has been required to leave the book in better shape than they received it at the beginning of the term.
Experience with this project and the success of WikiBooks convinced us that we could further develop the idea of free and open content books to increase the value of these books to students, particularly those who cannot afford paper-based textbooks.
The Global Text Project was initially funded by the Jacobs Foundation.

Lower end question
Would there be any reason to remove the small locating tab from P/N 414-40 gear shaft bearing washer? This is the washer on the outer side of the pinion shaft bearing just inside the snap ring. I found that it had been removed when I took my bottom end apart.

|Bryan Stewart tracks a Uintah guard who tries to run down the clock during the tight game. The Dinos lost to the Utes by five, 49-54.
As the showcase game of the night, the Carbon High's boys team did not disappoint.
On Tuesday night, the Dinos were host to two visiting schools for non-region basketball, with the Lady Dinos playing Cottonwood while the boys challenged Uintah.
Balancing the overflow of two sophomore, two junior varsity and two varsity games required the use of the Dino's practice gym for the younger teams.
As a result, fans enjoyed a varsity double-feature in Carbon's main gym.
The Lady Dinos hit the floor first with an eager Cottonwood team.
The Lady Colts outscored the Lady Dinos 32-24 in the first half, hitting five three-pointers to take the early lead.
However, 17 points from Morgan Warburton, coupled with 16 points from Brittany Pollastro and Andraya Newby and 11 from Tabby Cummins ended Cottonwood's hopes of a win on the road.
Carbon took the win, 70-62.
In the boys game, Carbon and Uintah battled for an advantage the entire game but neither team ever gained a substantial lead over the other during the matchup.
Entering the fourth quarter, Uintah lead 44-42.
The two teams traded baskets for the majority of the quarter until back-to-back Uintah scores gave the Utes a two score advantage.
Uintah ran out the clock and won, 54-49.
Bryan Stewart, Zach Henseler and Chase Julian all had 11 points for the Dinos. Senior Brandon Manzanares added nine points.
The loss drops Carbon to 3-8 on the season.
Carbon will travel to Colorado this weekend while the Lady Dinos take a weekend break.
Region eight play will begin next week for both teams against Emery High.
The ladies play Jan. 15 followed by the boys game on Jan. 16. Both games begin at 7 p.m.

Dallas 102, Clippers 89
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Sat, 12/22/07, 07:37am:
Dallas is one of the worst matchup nightmares in recent history: There's Dirk Nowitzki – Larry Bird + 3 ½ inches. You've got Josh Howard who is too long, too quick, too smart, and generally too good for any single defender. Then everyone else on the court services his role – Erick Dampier creates space and Devin Harris draws in the defense with penetration. Then, coming off the bench, there's Jason Terry: A 50% FG shooter who never really makes a bad decision in halfcourt play, and has been hitting considerably better than 40% from the arc since he got to Dallas. I'm not entirely sure what Eddie Jones gives them -- his defense is solid, but not what it was ten years ago.
Given the circumstances, the Clippers play a decent game, even on the defensive end where Dallas hits at a 55% clip. These things happen when you assign Tim Thomas, then Paul Davis, then – with no other recourse -- Cuttino Mobley to handle Nowitzki. This isn't a knock on the coaching staff because I don't have any other suggestions other than this might have been a nice opportunity to give Josh Powell some minutes because Nowitzki is a natural assignment for him – an opposing PF who plays off the block most of the time. But the problem with Josh Powell is that…he's Josh Powell and not someone who can do anything to help a basketball team on the other end.
Except for hitting their open looks, I don't know what else the Clips can do here. They do a good job of swinging the ball side-to-side against a very, very long defensive squad. They cut it to within three in the 3rd with a nice ball reversal. Given what Dallas throws at him, Kaman handles the double-teams well – six turnovers notwithstanding. He finishes the game with five assists. At the close of the first half with about :45 seconds left, Dallas sends a quick, feverish double-team at Kaman – Josh Howard joining Dampier -- up against the baseline. Everyone makes a nice decision here: The instant Howard moves off Corey from the weak side to pick up the double, Corey slides down the lane. He's immediately picked up there by Nowitzki, who has moved off Thomas…but Harris has now rotated over on TT. So this leaves Brevin Knight as the open guy. It's a tough find for Kaman, who is trapped against the baseline, but he manages to dart the ball over to Knight. With Harris closing, Knight hits the jumper.
With the exception of San Antonio, Dallas has the best defensive rotation in the West. But the Clips do everything they can to work a shot, and they succeed. It's not impossible to do this on every set, but for a team without a lot of good defensive options, it requires precision. But, for the most part, the Clippers accomplished that tonight…they just can't hit their open looks. Still, strange as it sounds, I thought this was one of the Clippers' better games of the season.
Highlight of the night: [1st, 1:05] Mike Smith on Chris Kaman: "That's when you know you're a superstar, Ralph. When you can go kibitz with the referees."
Pronounced "KEE-boots"
Trust me when I tell you that Mike Smith is the singularly most goyische life form in the universe. It's endearing.
Ralph Lawler [1st, 0:07]: "So now Nowitzki comes out...and kibitzes over here with Coach Dunleavy."

Video: Lawmakers Spar Over Proposed Youth Football Ban
By Haley Viccaro, Gannett Albany Bureau
Jeff Preval, WGRZ
ALBANY - Lawmakers are grappling over a proposal to limit youth football in New York.
Sen. Thomas O'Mara, R-Big Flats, Chemung County, sacked the measure, saying it would be a rash reaction to recent national reports about the safety of football.
"Talk about being out of bounds, not to mention out of touch," O'Mara said in a statement. "What we need to ban is knee-jerk legislation. What's next? No more fastballs in Little League? Enough."
Assemblyman Michael Benedetto, D-Bronx, introduced legislation last week to prohibit children younger than 11-years-old from playing tackle youth football statewide.
Benedetto said he is concerned about young children suffering from concussions or minor injuries during practices and games that could potentially lead to serious health conditions in the future. Recent reports have shown an increasing number of head injuries among college and professional football players.
"It is a sport that emphasizes contact and this has become a dangerous situation for anybody playing a game, but more of a reason for us to look closely at protecting young people," Benedetto said Monday.
According to the CDC, from 2001 to 2009, the number of visits to emergency departments for traumatic brain injuries to the head have increased from roughly 153,000 to 248,000 with the highest rates among men ages 10 to 19.
Meantime, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest University have been busy studying safer football helmets and how safe youth are between the lines. A joint study by the two schools one year ago found that the average youth football player suffers 107 head impacts each season and that 59 percent of the them happened in practice and 41 percent of them in the games.
Children as young as five-years-old can play organized tackle football. Youth football teaches children how to play at a young age and is supervised by coaches with no score kept, supporters said.
"When they play tackle football it allows kids to learn the proper technique and how to do it correctly," said Josh Pruce, national director of media relations for Pop Warner, which oversees the sport for more than 250,000 youth across the nation. "It is easier to learn when you are a kid rather than an adult."
Benedetto said he acknowledges that there are regulations in place that protect young children from injuries, but he believes they shouldn't be participating in a contact sport when the chances of injuries could be removed entirely.
Pruce said there are rules to limit the chances of injury during practice, including a restriction on the amount of contact time during a game and a new concussion rule enacted this year.
"There is more injury during practice than during a game, so about a year ago we enacted a concussion rule that says if someone was injured they must sit out and get a note from a doctor before playing again," Pruce said.
Benedetto said his interest in the issue started about three or four years ago when a woman he worked with told him that her son, who was a star running back for a high school football team, was unable to play in college due to multiple blows to the head he suffered over a period of years.
"He never got to play in college because shortly after arriving his injuries finally kicked in and he could focus or even get out of bed," Benedetto said.
Benedetto said that many of his colleagues in the state Assembly have expressed interest in signing the bill as co-sponsors. He also said some senators are considering introducing the bill in the Senate. It's unclear if Governor Cuomo is in support of the bill or not.
It won't be O'Mara.

A $50.7 billion Superstorm Sandy aid package is expected to be voted on today in the House. The package, which has come under criticism by some fiscal conservatives, is being heavily pushed by Northeastern lawmakers. The money would be spent on immediate needs to the region including $5.4 billion for New York and New Jersey transit systems and $5.4 billion for the Federal Emergency Management Agency's disaster relief aid fund.

YIELD: Makes 1 (2-Pound) Loaf
- 3 cups whole grain spelt flour (12 ounces)
- 1 cup whole grain rye flour (3 3/4 ounces)
- 1/2 cup coarse or medium stone-ground whole grain cornmeal (2 ounces)
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup flax or sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons aroma spice blend (see below)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon rapid-rise or instant yeast
- 1/2 cup whole wheat, rye, Kamut, or spelt berries, soaked overnight and drained (optional)
- 2 cups cold water
- Cornmeal, for sprinkling
- 6 tablespoons whole coriander seeds
- 3 tablespoons fennel
- 3 tablespoons caraway seeds
1 To prepare the dough, start at least 12 hours ahead. Whisk together all the ingredients except the whole grain berries and the water in a large bowl. Scatter the grain berries on top and add almost all the water. Stir with a dough whisk or a wooden spoon until the flour is incorporated. The dough should be wet and sticky to the touch, like firm oatmeal; otherwise, add a bit more water. But don't worry too much about the liquid-to-flour ratio, as this is a forgiving dough. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature to ferment for at least 12 hours and up to 18 hours.
2 The next day, finish the bread. Sprinkle a linen or cotton kitchen towel (not terry cloth) with cornmeal and generously flour your work surface. Using a bench scraper or a rubber spatula, scrape the stringy, bubbly dough onto the work surface. Using floured hands, fold it exactly 4 times, always toward the center from the right and from the left, as well as from the top and the bottom. Turn the loaf upside down so the fold is at the bottom, and set it on the kitchen towel. Fold the towel over the loaf to cover, and let sit for about 1 hour.
3 After about 30 minutes, position a rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 475°F. Place a 4 1/2- to 5 1/2-quart cast-iron pot or Dutch oven with its lid in the center of the rack. After about 1 hour, your loaf should have nicely risen. (When you press it with your finger about 1/4 inch deep, the dimple should remain; if not, wait 15 more minutes.) But again, don't worry too much I have sometimes been less than precise and still succeeded.
4 Using thick pot holders, carefully remove the cast-iron pot from the oven and place it on a couple of folded kitchen towels (to avoid cracking); uncover. Unwrap the dough, sprinkle with a bit more cornmeal, and invert directly from the kitchen towel into the pot, seam side up (it might look a bit wiggly; that's normal). If the dough doesn't drop into the center, shake the pot once or twice (use caution, it is hot!).
5 Cover with the lid and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the loaf is nicely browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 200°F, 20 to 25 minutes. Using thick pot holders, remove the loaf from the cast-iron pot and transfer to a wire rack. If you can resist, allow to cool completely, about 3 hours, before cutting the loaf with a sharp serrated knife. And a sharp knife it must be this is a German-style bread, after all.
To vary it: You can use 3 cups regular whole wheat flour (13 ounces) for a slightly denser loaf. If you don't have a cast-iron pot, use a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Bake until an instant-read thermometer registers 200°F, 40 to 45 minutes. You can also bake the bread in a 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan. Grease the pan well with oil and sprinkle with 1 to 2 tablespoons flax seeds or sesame seeds. After folding the dough as in step 2, drop it seam side up right into the pan. Cover with a dish cloth for about 1 hour (do the finger-poke test as in step 3). After 30 minutes, place a rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 425°F. Bake until an instant-read thermometer registers 200°F, about 60 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for about 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges, unmold, and return to the wire rack, right side up, to cool completely before cutting. For a nicer crust when using a skillet or a loaf pan, slide a second rack with a broiler tray into the lowest level of your oven when preheating. After you place the loaf in the oven, carefully add about 1 cup hot tap water to the tray. Stand back so the steam doesn't hit you!
To time it: Soak the whole grain berries the morning before, no later than lunchtime. Mix the dough (as in step 1) in the late afternoon or evening. Finish and bake the loaf (steps 2 through 5) in the morning, but no later than 18 hours after you start the dough.

Working with Solids
I'm anxious to see how this one turns out. I go back and forth between really liking it and thinking it's not appropriate for a 1-year old. What do you think?
I really went off the grid and grabbed random items from all around the department, instead of sticking to a collection like I normally do. I guess that's how the "real" quilters do it. : )
I think I'll stick to collections for a while.

I think the colors you've chosen are splendid! High contrast is great for babies, and the complementary blue-orange combo fits that bill for sure, as do the dark charcoal and white. I can't wait to see how it comes together. :)ReplyDelete
Really love the colors. And I also am drawn to that dark gray Kona cotton... I might be using it in the sashing of a large quilt I'm working on.ReplyDelete
welcome to the blog world! I like your blog...and I'm an Atkinson Design follower as well. Her patterns are easy, well written and look HARD! I think your colors are great. My son asked for an orange quilt when he was 9 ...and I grudgingly made it. It was the BEST colors study I have done. I will send you a picture...be sure to put your sunglasses on!ReplyDelete
I could not send e-mail...no address! You can see Drew's ORANGE quilt on my blog: http://bzyqltr.blogspot.com Look in the archives: Oct 15,2006ReplyDelete
I love this quilt! I've been collecting some blues and oranges to make a Posti quilt (the colors of the Finnish postal service are blue and orange). Very modern, very hip, totally cool for a 1 year old! Collections, schmollections. Don't be afraid!ReplyDelete
I love love love brights, and love your color choices! You definitely have an eye for color. Perfect for a little boy quilt, too.ReplyDelete
I like quilts for kids to have some longevity and I think the grey really adds to that. I think it looks a little more sophisticated that way.ReplyDelete
So this is what these are going to be!! This is going to be so beautiful! The contrast is perfect for a young child. What an amazing present :-)ReplyDelete

Four of the winners are members of Air New Zealand's Airpoints FFP which ties in well with three winners being from New Zealand. Air China's Phoenix Miles and Lufthansa's Miles & More FFP scored two winners each and in this case the winners actually reside in the respective home markets of China and Germany. Air Canada's Aeroplan FFP also has two of the winners, with one residing in Canada and one the UK. THAI's Royal Orchid and US Airways Dividend Miles FFP had one winner each.
Taking part in the competition, which ran from 14 May, 2012 to 14 June, 2012, was simple and did not require any travel. Participants had to guess the location of the virtual mystery plane which was hidden somewhere on the Star Alliance network. Correctly answering three questions on Star Alliance increased the chances of better identifying the exact position of the plane. Participants then dropped a pin on the spot where they believed the plane was sitting with the 17 closest pin drops each winning one of the prizes on offer.
The participant whose pin was placed closest to the aircraft received the top prize, a VIP trip of a lifetime for a group of 15 people.
The second prize was a Business Class Round the World (RTW) ticket for two. The winner was able to select the routing of the ticket (within the rules of the RTW fare for an itinerary of up to 39,000 miles per person) and include a stop at one of the 27 festivals on offer.
A further 15 people won round trip tickets for two to any of the 27 festivals on offer, which are all linked to cultural experiences and traditions of the home countries of both current and future Star Alliance member airlines:
Abu Simbel Festival (Celebrate an Egyptian King's Birthday), Abu Simbel
Temple, Egypt
Chinese New Year, Beijing, China
Chingay Parade, Singapore
Dubrovnik Summer Festival, Dubrovnik, Croatia

What process/reference/book/faq/tutorial/quickstart/primer/etc would you recommend to a lifelong Windows guy who wants to become a Linux superuser?
Perhaps I should provide a little bit of background. I've been primarily a CP/M / DOS / Windows guy for over two decades. I've gotten as far as installing various Linux distros, and navigate my way around the filesystem, install stuff via apt-get, schedule cron jobs, etc. However I've never found myself as comfortable in an *nix environment as I do in Windows. I guess what I'm probably looking for is the definitive Linux primer so I can get familiarized with the basic architecture, how the kernel works, etc. - i.e., become a Linux superuser.

Big Vibration around 45 MPH
Is it possible this has anything to do with adjusting the front end suspension, or is is simply most likely tire/wheels out of balance? The bike has aftermarket chrome spoke wheels and no apparent weights on them.
The vibration is really bad, but I am able to accelerate to 50 MPH or so and it gets a little bit better. It is pretty scary with the whole bike shaking. Can this simply be a balancing problem?

I considered 'self-proclaimed' but that, I believe, suggests an element of self-promotion (the proclamation aspect) whereas soi-disant, at least as I think of it, is more about self-presentation and in some contexts self-deceit.
I think "self-styled" would be the closest match.
I think it would help to give an example sentence. I confess, I've never heard soi-disant used in English. But in French, it is used in three ways:
how about "self-appointed"? Or "so-called," depending on the context? "Alleged" might work, too.
All of "self-styled", "so-called" and "supposed" work well. Which one you choose just depends on the context and personal preference.
Literally word for word 'soi-disant' in French would be 'self saying' or more closely 'self-called'.
But the word is now native English (a borrowing) like 'a la mode' or 'frisson'. 'Soi-disant' has a formal or affected air to it (like other obscurantist borrowings).
In English it means two related things (see online definitions)
The latter is both the more common interpretation since it includes the former semantically. It is a common thing to say in speech (along with 'so-called') in order to convey the same meaning as the much more informal 'quote unquote' or use fingers for air-quotes in order to make obvious that one is using a term sarcastically or that the one who chose the label for themselves is hypocritical. Whether so-called or self-styled, it is as M-W says "a disparaging term for someone who styles or fancies him- or herself in some role".
So 'self-styled' (or other variations) will serve your purposes, but be aware it is more likely to be understood as hypocritically referring to oneself, but rather as a sarcastic label by others.

CANTON - A last-minute design change by CSX Rail Inc. at its Route 11 rail crossing has created delays and extra costs for the states $9.55 million Main Street reconstruction project.
A decision by CSX to increase the train speed through the village from 25 mph to 40 mph disrupted design plans that were established several years ago, according to Michael R. Flick, a spokesman with the State Department of Transportation.
Its unfortunate, Mr. Flick said. You never get through a project without something you didnt expect, but this one really caught us off guard.
The higher speed limit impacts the slope of the curve at the crossing.
The elevation of the curve is designed for a specific speed. We designed the highway there to match a 25 mph crossing, Mr. Flick said. We found out recently that it was changing to 40 mph, which changes the elevation and crossing slope.
DOT Project Engineer Thomas A. Maroun said he met with CSX officials after he learned of the speed limit increase and before highway work started at the crossing.
He said he was assured that existing design plans didnt need to be altered in response to the speed limit hike.
They said everything would remain the same, Mr. Maroun said.
However, when CSX crews installed the new crossing, they elevated the grade of the crossing to meet their design standards, Mr. Maroun said.
As a result, a short section of Route 11 approaching the crossing has to be elevated 17 inches while a section of Railroad Avenue has to be elevated by 30 inches, Mr. Maroun said.
Also, all of the new curbing that was installed there a few weeks ago had to be removed and re-installed because the slope of the highway has to be altered to match the CSX rail crossing.
Also, plans for storm drainage and paving has to be altered. Additional design and survey work is required so that the ehighway matches the elevation at the railroad crossing slope.
The highway elevation in front of adjacent driveways and fire hydrants has to be redesigned.
CSX Spokesman Robert T. Sullivan said in an email, We are looking into the matter and will work with the state to resolve any issues.
The DOT has to incur the extra costs, Mr. Flick said.
We cross the railways right of way, they dont cross ours, he said. Railroad law supercedes highway law.
He said he couldnt provide an estimate of the additional costs.
At Mondays village board meeting, Village Superintendent Brien E. Hallahan said the extra cost to DOT will be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I have no reservation placing the criticism on CSX, Mr. Hallahan told village trustees.
Meanwhile, some village trustees want to put pressure on CSX to retain the 25 mph speed limit.
Trustee Dan McDonnell resides on Pleasant Street and said hes concerned about possible derailments.
The board asked its attorney, Gerald Ducharme, to research village code regarding train speed limits and determine if the village has any authority in enforcing a speed limit.
Mr. Maroun said hes waiting for an updated schedule from the general contractor, Luck Bros Inc., Plattsburgh, to determine how the project proceeds. At this point, its still expected to finish by Nov. 30.
While work at the rail crossing is on hold, crews are continuing other work such as grading for new curbing and removing old sidewalks.
The curb subcontrator is scheduled to come in soon to get everything done, Mr. Maroun said.

Research Summary
Darryl C. Zeldin, M.D., is NIEHS Scientific Director, head of the Environmental Cardiopulmonary Disease Group, and holds a secondary appointment in the Clinical Research Branch. The group conducts basic and clinical/translational research to better understand the role of the environment in the etiology and pathogenesis of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases such as allergy, asthma, adult respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary fibrosis, atherosclerosis, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and stroke.
The group has a major research interest in eicosanoids, with an emphasis on how they function in the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. The group has identified a family of cytochrome P450 enzymes that are abundant in cardiovascular tissues and active in the metabolism of arachidonic acid to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which are potent vasodilators and cardiovascular protective agents. To study the effects of altered expression of cytochromes P450 on cardiovascular function, the group developed several new transgenic knockout mouse models.
Opportunities for translational research in this area include development of new drugs for blood pressure control, atherosclerosis and ischemic heart disease. Identification of individuals at increased risk for these disorders due to P450 genetic variation may also lead to new approaches to disease prevention.
The group has also conducted studies to examine the role of cyclooxygenases in lung function and disease. The work, based on the hypothesis that cyclooxygenase-derived eicosanoids (prostaglandins) are important modulators of the lung immune response to environmental agents, such as allergens and bacterial lipopolysaccharide, involves development and phenotypic characterization of new transgenic knockout mouse models. This research will lead to additional opportunities for mechanistic and translational research in a variety of inflammatory lung diseases.
In addition, the group studies basic mechanisms, which underlie sex differences in the response of the lung to environmental agents, such as indoor allergens, bacterial lipopolysacchride, respiratory viruses and pro-fibrotic agents.
Lastly, the group is active in clinical research on asthma and the environment. The group's research focuses on indoor allergen exposures, and other potential risk factors and modifying factors (e.g. endotoxin), which are associated with the development and exacerbation of allergic respiratory diseases. The group has conducted large national studies which have not only resulted in a better understanding of the characteristics and predictors of indoor allergen and endotoxin exposures in U.S. households, but also have provided information on the importance of different allergens in asthma and other allergic diseases that are of significant public health concerns nationally and globally. The main goal of the group is to provide sound scientific basis for the development and implementation of environmental interventions that will be effective in preventing asthma and other allergic diseases.
Major area of research:
- Cytochrome P450 family and the bioactivation of arachidonic acid
- Cyclooxygenase-derived eicosanoids
- Sex differences in lung response to environmental agents
- Asthma: Exposure Assessment and Prevention ("/Rhythmyx/assembler/render?sys_contentid=52986&sys_revision=2&sys_variantid=639&sys_context=0&sys_authtype=0&sys_siteid=&sys_folderid=" sys_dependentvariantid="639" sys_dependentid="52986" inlinetype="rxhyperlink" rxinlineslot="103" sys_dependentid="52986" sys_siteid="" sys_folderid="")
Current projects:
- Understanding the role of cytochrome P450-derived eicosanoids in cardiovascular homeostasis and in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and stroke
- Elucidating the role of cyclooxygenase-derived eicosanoids in lung function and disease
- Examining the basic mechanisms for sex differences in the response of the lung to a variety of environmental agents such as indoor allergens, bacterial lipopolysacchride, respiratory viruses and pro-fibrotic agents
- Determining the prevalence and determinants of indoor allergen and endotoxin exposures and investigating the complex relationships between those exposures, allergic sensitization, and the development and exacerbation of allergic diseases, including asthma
- Developing environmental interventions that lower indoor exposures to allergens and endotoxin
Zeldin earned a B.A. in chemistry from Boston University in 1982 and an M.D. from Indiana University School of Medicine in 1986. He completed a Residency in Internal Medicine at Duke University in 1989 and a Fellowship in Pulmonary/Critical Care Medicine at Vanderbilt University in 1993. Zeldin, a physician-scientist who is internationally recognized for his contributions to the fields of environmental health, respiratory disease and cardiovascular disease, is a member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation (ASCI), a Fellow in the American College of Chest Physicians and a Fellow in the American Heart Association. He has served on NIH and foundation study sections and is a member of the editorial boards of several scientific journals. He has published over 200 peer-reviewed articles in leading biomedical journals, as well as numerous reviews and book chapters. Zeldin is on staff at Duke University Medical Center, where he serves as an attending physician on the pulmonary consult service and the medical intensive care unit. He served as the NIEHS Acting Clinical Director from 2007-2011 and currently serves as the NIEHS Scientific Director.
