Suturing, casting, taking blood pressures, and giving injections are activities you might expect to see taking place in a hospital. However, on March 22, a few rooms at USU-CEU were transformed and inundated with high school students who had the opportunity to try their hands at all of those skills.
Sponsored by the Utah Center for Rural Health at Southern Utah University and the Utah Hospital Association, and hosted by USU-CEU, the health career day brought together 82 students from Carbon High, Emery High, Green River High and USU-CEU. Students who attended were divided into groups and rotated among six hands-on workshops.
At the Medical Technology Workshop, Bill Palmer, the Laboratory Directory at Castleview Hospital, explained careers available in the laboratory science field. Students also had the opportunity to do a hands-on blood typing activity.
Nurses from Castleview Hospital taught the participants how to suture. Students were taught basic suture knots and worked with suturing instruments as they sutured on chicken wings.
Pre-medical students from the Rural Health Scholars program at Southern Utah University provided a casting workshop, where participants were taught how to put on a basic plaster cast. Students took turns putting casts on each other, and were then able to take their casts home with them.
The USU-CEU nursing program provided a hands-on nursing workshop. Stations were set-up and taught by the USU-CEU nursing faculty. Participants spent time in the nursing department lab and learned how to give injections and proper patient care.
A respiratory therapy workshop was provided by Weber State University students. Participants learned about respiratory therapy as a career, and were able to use some of the tools and equipment that respiratory therapists use. Students were taught how to intubate, and then given the opportunity to practice on provided dummies.
University of Utah medical students also attended and provided a workshop where students learned about medicine. In the workshop students learned about the path to becoming a doctor and then were able to dissect cow hearts with the medical students.
The Utah Center for Rural Health coordinates these regional career fairs through support from the Utah Hospital Association. According to Dennis Moser, Executive Director for the Utah Center for Rural Health and Southern Utah AHEC, "These career days are used as a way to expose kids from rural areas to health care careers. Rural areas have a harder time recruiting and maintaining their health care workforce. If we can help encourage students from rural areas to pursue health care for their careers, they will be more inclined to come back to rural areas to work."

ESSP and London Southend Airport sign an EGNOS Working Agreement (© ESSP) Veröffentlicht am: 19/02/2014
From now on, this British ANSP can publish EGNOS-based procedures that will improve safety, accessibility and efficiency to pilots and operators flying to London Southend Airport.
ESSP and London Southend Airport have recently signed an EGNOS Working Agreement (EWA) as a key step for the implementation of EGNOS-based approach procedures (LPV procedures) to be used at this aerodrome.
The signature was sealed last January 9th by ESSP SAS and London Southend Airport.
The Airport 's Operations Director David Lister commented:
"The introduction of LPV approaches, complementing the LNAV and VNAV approaches shortly to be introduced at London Southend means that the airport will have a range of instrument approaches available to operators, assuring continued operations in all but the most severe weather conditions, even if the Category I ILS is out of service."
EGNOS provides an alternative to ILS CAT I, offering similar performance, and increasing safety by allowing Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) approaches at difficult locations or under meteorological conditions where previously such approaches were not possible due to safety concerns, and is free of charge.
EGNOS procedures are already in place in many European airports.
Alderney Airport in the Channel Islands is the pioneer in the UK.
London Southend Airport
London Southend Airport handled over 31,000 movements last year, ranging in size from light aircraft up to B757. 970,167 passengers passed through the Essex airport between January and December 2013, making it the busiest year in the history of the airport.
The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service, is a Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) that improves the accuracy and provides integrity to the GPS Signal over most of Europe.The EC owns and manages the EGNOS system. ESA is the EGNOS design agent under a delegation agreement with the EC. Similar services are provided in North America by the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), in Japan by the Multifunctional Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS) and in India by the GAGAN System. Other similar Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) are under study or development in other regions of the world. It is Europe's first venture into satellite navigation and a major stepping-stone towards Galileo, Europe's own global satellite navigation system for the future. Starting from 1st January 2014, EGNOS will be managed by the European GNSS Agency (GSA).
LPV is a non-precision approach. It stands for Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance and typically takes you down to 200-250 ft decision height.
IFR Flight Rules :
Rules and regulations established by the FAA to govern flight under conditions in which flight by outside visual reference is not safe.
IFR flight depends upon flying by reference to instruments in the flight deck, and navigation is accomplished by reference to electronic signals (source: Wikipedia).
Lateral navigation (LNAV) refers to navigating over a ground track with guidance from an electronic device which gives the pilot (or autopilot) error indications in the lateral direction only and not in the vertical direction (source: Wikipedia).
Vertical NAVigation is an autoflight function which directs the vertical movement of an aircraft (i.e. gains or losses in its altitude).
If used in the cruise, VNAV causes an aircraft to climb or descend according to a vertical elements of a pre-programmed flight management system's flight plan (source Wikipedia).

Barry Asin's Blog
The Future of VMS in a Post Chimes World
We just got back from the Executive Forum and are all still recovering from a very intense few days. Thanks to all of you who were able to join us and who participated so actively in the forum.
For me the highlight was actually on the very last day, when many people were either already on a plane home, heading to the airport or hitting the golf course or casino. That was when we had our panel discussion on the future of VMS in a Post Chimes World. I thought it was an excellent session (but maybe I am a bit biased since I moderated the discussion)!
On the panel was Howard Ehrenberg, the bankruptcy trustee for Chimes and Axium, as well as David Cooper of Beeline, the new owners of the Chimes ASSETS ONLY (as he is careful to say), Jai Shekawat of Fieldglass, Jim Lanzalotto of Yoh and Chris Hartman of Allegis.
Among some great discussion and general points, a few really stood out for me:
- If you read between the lines of what Howard Ehrenberg said, the Axium guys sound pretty likely to have criminal charges filed against them. Evidently the more than $100 million in tax penalties that the IRS hit them for is primarily for underpaying payroll taxes that were deducted from employee paychecks back to at least 2004. Axium of course claims it is a simple misunderstanding. Oops!
- For those staffing firms that are still owed money by Axium/Chimes it looks like there is a long road ahead. Basically there is no money right now to distribute. If Ehrenberg can sue a couple different parties and collect, then maybe some of that can be recovered. Timeframe from all that is likely to be years, if ever. Ouch!
- Jim Lanzalotto of Yoh announced that Yoh is forming a partnership with SAP to build a VMS solution. In part he sees it as a response to the fears about small, undercapitalized VMS providers out in the marketplace. Jai Shekawat of Fieldglass felt that the jury was likely still out on SAP's commitment to VMS, which is a very small market for them. Of course, with Yoh financing the push there should be some sticking power for this particular solution.
- Everyone involved in buying/using VMS/MSP services owes a big thank you to Beeline (and Howard Ehrenberg) in my opinion. Without the relatively quick resolution that we have had to this problem, we could have an very ugly ongoing situation that would cause all sorts of companies to completely rethink their contingent workforce programs. Given how quickly and smoothly this has been sorted out (for instance the Chimes software never was even shut down) we are instead looking much more at some tweaks around the edges of the model.
- Speaking of tweaks around the edges, a lot of people have been discussing the use of escrow accounts as one solution to flowing large amounts of dollars through a VMS/MSP provider. However, Chris Hartman of Allegis pointed out that the actual practicalities and costs of setting up escrow accounts aren't very workable in the sort of situation facing most contingent workforce programs. He instead suggested that restricted cash accounts could do the trick.
Of course, I think there is still much more to say about all this. What do you think?

Read: Jarome Iginla Says It's Time To Make The Nets Bigger
In the latest issue of The Hockey News, Jarome Iginla says that the time has come for the NHL to make the nets bigger by a few inches on each side.
He says that he was a traditionalist until the last few years when bigger goalies and bigger equipment limited the space a player has to shoot at.
"In today's NHL, if you go down the wing trying to shoot the puck, you basically don't see any net. You might see a very little bit of it around the goalie's head, so all you wind up doing is blasting it and hoping it goes somehow through him. But beating a goalie to the far corner like players used to do? That's just gone. That's not there."
Iginla notes that the in basketball they added a three point line and in baseball they changed the height of the pitchers mound and that the time is now to change the net. "To me, the traditionalist argument is a little old when 6-5 goalies are the norm, not the exception."

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Blinds Bali Mini Blinds Essentials 1" Premium Vinyl:
I wanted a light gray mini blind for our guest bathroom. I didn't want anything heavy. I only needed something to add privacy and as an accent for the bathroom. These blinds were perfect. They aren't heavy, and I probably wouldn't use them in a main living space, but they fit the bill for this bathroom. I couldn't find a light gray blind on any other site nor at any store.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me High-end Shopper
I also purchased Levolor blinds from Steve's Blinds. I used them for a more important area. I find them hardier than Bali but difficult to install and wands don't hang well with the plastic tube that covers the wand at top. The Bali blinds have a better designed wand attachment.

the IOC also disallowed London to pay tribute to the Munich victims... granted it happened many moons ago, but still... it would've been a nice gesture, and something that - since the people running the ceremonies asked - should have been allowed.

Are the civil courts and the laws of England on the side of the IOC in this? If a local pub had held an Olympics party, and the IOC said "you must pay us a thousand dollar fine," and the pub owner said," I don't think so" -- what would happen next?Originally Posted by Serious Business
What would have happened if the journalist whose umbrella was seized would have hit the seizers over the head with it, citing "stand your ground?"
(At least you could have an Olympics party at your own house, right? "An Englishman's home is his castle, sir -- while there's Law in England!")

well if he hit the person with the umbrella, it'd be considered assault
I loved these Olympics overall (my favorite summer Olympics ever, Calgary for the winter games), but I was disappointed with the choppy coverage of NBC (it seemed like rings were not shown at all in the men's team competition), the broken up coverage of the closing ceremonies, etc.
I was also taken aback by the lack of a tribute. It's not as if these were a group of just any people who died. They were Olympians, taken at the Olympic village, and the event unfolded before our eyes during Olympic coverage. And that was done on purpose by the perpetrators to garner worldwide publicity. What could be more relevant to Olympic history?
I loved Bbc coverage that could watch online whenever I wanted, our 24h coverage and the normal time difference, the opening ceremony up until the steal era and Kenneth Branag, gymnastics team finals and AA, douglas, komova and mustafina, the Pole vault of ladies, the 4x 100 relay of men, Bolt superstar status, Jessica Ennis, team Spain on sychronized swimming, men diving 10m, Uchimura, men finals vault, the marathon, Italy at rythmic gymnastics ensemble and Cyprus winning their first Olympic medal ever!!!
I didnt like Ye Shiwen accusations from known coach, Komova and Douglas at event finals, that we came 9th at rythmic gymnastics and lost Q, that we got only two medals, Iordache unlucky appearance, the closing ceremony- Lenon, Freddie and Bowie mention was great but then Spice Girls, Super models and Take that, really?
I have a lot more to recall now.
There were so many bests. The Queen actually taking part as a Bond girl, the National Health segment, and getting to see all the athletes for the first time. All the competitions had marvelous moments, of course. I loved the rowing and equestrian events when I got to see them. I'm so glad I finally got to view the rhythmic gymnastics; they are simply stupendous.
I'm sorry Greece didn't so so well this time. I always root for them. I was just doing research on Olympic history and read a wonderful eyewitness account of the first modern Games, in Athens in 1896. The reporter was especially excited about the entry into the arena of marathon winner Spiridon Louis. It's so great that the first marathon ever was won by a Greek runner. You guys are about due for another one!
For me, as an American the worst thing about the London games were the ridiculoulsy embarrassing comments made by Mitt "the Twit" Romney.
Great and well deserved moments were the follow ups by the Brit PM and the Mayor of London.
It is easy enough to see who was right

Cultural and social milestones
The Olympic games, in both its ideals and many times in practice, reflect the best progressive and peaceful impulses of society. And indeed, the London games proved to be the most socially advanced and humanistic one yet!
Gender equality:
We've come a long way from the ancient games in which women weren't even allowed to attend! There is still considerable prejudice against female athletes outside of aesthetic sports like figure skating and gymnastics. But the London Olympics did more to change that than perhaps any sporting competition before it.
For the first time ever, every country sent female athletes to the games. There are three Olympic participating countries who never sent female athletes to the games before. In 2012, that all changed, when Brunei, Saudi Arabia and Qatar all realized that women deserve their place in the sun, too. That the spirit of sports, fairness, competition and friendship should not be held back by gender oppression. Yes, it took considerable pressure from the IOC and activists within those countries, but now that the door is opened it's unlikely to ever close again.
For the first time ever, the US sent more female than male athletes to the games. It's fitting that on the 40th anniversary of Title IX (the US law that pushed school sports into giving women better access), female athletes in the US have finally caught up to and even exceeded their male counterparts in the biggest sporting event in the world. And the women more than pulled their weight. 55% of the medals won by the US at these Olympics were won by women! An even larger proportion of gold medals won by the US were won by women! This is especially amazing when you consider that men get over 100 more medals awarded to them at the Olympics than women. US women are the reason the US won the medal count at these Olympics. Unfortunately, in terms of coverage and sponsorship, the women still lag far behind men in the US. But we're getting there!
Gay/bisexual visibility
There were a record 21 openly gay or bisexual athletes at these Olympics, over twice the number of the 2008 Olympics! In addition to the athletes, there were a number of openly gay/bisexual coaches and journalists as well, such as Pia Sundhage, the coach of the US women's football team, and former NBA player John Amaechi, who commentated on basketball matches. This unprecedented visibility shows how much progress gay/bi people have made recently. On the biggest stage in the world, people heralded as heroes and the epitome of physical achievement are freer to be who they are.
The Netherlands' women's field hockey team had four openly gay/bi players, all four of whom participated in the gold medal match. This is the highest number of openly gay/bi people sharing an Olympic podium ever. A win in more ways than one.
France's triathletes Jessica Harrison and Carole Péon are a couple. Which, as far as I can find, marks the first time a same-sex couple competed openly as teammates at the Olympics. There have been opposite-sex teammates and pairs competing together at the Olympics before, of course, but this is entirely new.
Overall, nearly half of all the openly gay/bi athletes at the Olympics won a medal, the majority of them gold! It's heartening to see that coming out did not impede their athletic success.
The lack of transgender visibility
Unfortunately, the T in LGBT got no representation at these games, at all. There were no openly trans/intersex athletes competing. And, as far as I know, there weren't even any trans coaches or journalists involved.
If anything, progress for trans people were set back at these Olympics. The IAAF, the governing body of track and field, started to require female athletes take hormone suppressants to compete if their natural testosterone level is close to that of the average male. This decision has no scientific basis. There is no proof that higher testosterone level gives female athletes an advantage (in fact, there's some proof against it). And even if there were, outlawing natural advantages that an athlete got by dint of birth is ridiculous. What next? Banning tall people from basketball? It's a decision purely based on superstitious notions of gender. It also creates an ongoing witch hunt for intersex athletes.

Tad Cronn says, "There are conspiracy theories, and there are conspiracy theories," concerning the Aurora shooting that took place in Aurora, Colorado, July 20. "But some conspiracy theories have just enough meat on them to make you go 'hmm.'"
Writing at Godfather Politics, Cronn reviewed the key questions still being raised about James Holmes' rampage, including the "exquisite" timing of the incident. It could have something to do with the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty that is being debated in New York this week. Cronn is impressed with the coincidence of the Aurora attack and suggests similarities to the Fast and Furious operation that put U.S. weapons into the hands of Central American drug cartels. Says Cronn,
There is powerful evidence to suggest that the real plan [for Fast and Furious] was to have drug runners wreak havoc here at home with our guns, as they have, and [then] use that "discovery" as leverage for further gun controls.
The same theory applies to using Aurora as leverage to pass the U.N. treaty.
Cronn also raised a number of other issues without answers, including Holmes' demeanor following the incident when he gave up to the police without a struggle and then warned them that he had booby-trapped his apartment. Holmes was a penurious student, without the obvious means to build the arsenal of weapons and chemicals found in his car and in his apartment. And where did he learn how to assemble chemicals into such a sophisticated trap that it took the bomb squad the better part of day to dismantle it, using robots?

Carbon High pitcher Dakota Cisneros, a senior, excelled on the mound for the Dinos as he pitched a perfect game in an 11-0 five inning win over South Sevier on Wednesday.
After playing five games into their 2013 season, the Carbon High baseball team already has a moment they will never soon forget.
Senior Dakota Cisneros threw a perfect game against South Sevier in a five inning 11-0 win on Wednesday.
CHS head coach Troy Moynier it was interesting to watch Cisneros take the mound each inning as he proceeded to shut down the South Sevier offense.
"He pitched very well, obviously," said Moynier in an interview on Monday afternoon. "It's totally awesome for him and the team to experience playing in a perfect game."
Moynier said Cisneros got behind the count with a few batters throughout the game, but he was able to calm down and get the outs.
"He did an excellent job of coming back from being behind in the count," he said. "Overall he had good velocity on his pitches and he was getting his offspeed pitches in for strikes which was a key for him in the game."
Cisneros also had a big day at the plate getting three walks and a double.
Derek Young and Kayden Feichko also had key hits for the Dino offense which scored 11 runs to score the mercy rule win.
The Dinos struggled against 4A's Maple Mountain the following day as they fell behind early thanks to a 7 run inning in the bottom of the third. Moynier said three errors and a walk gave Maple Mountain plenty of baserunners to work with and they capitalized on the Dino miscues.
"We've got to cut down on the errors which have hurt us in our losses this season," he said.
Carbon High (2-3) will play on the road against rival Emery High today at 3 p.m.
The team will play their first home game on Wednesday against Union at the Carbon High Baseball Field at 3:30 p.m.

The Massachusetts Atty. Gen. Martha Coakley recently stated that she has had her iTunes account compromised for IOS devices such as unlocked iphone 4, ipad by what she thinks are thieves, and is looking to Apple for answers on the breach. It is currently not clear how the thieves were able to get their way into her account, some believe that it may have been through an application that allowed the hackers to continue to steal her credit card information and go and make fraudulent purchases with that information. She brought out the attack during a speech that she was making at the Massachusetts Advanced Cyber Security Center, during which he stated that a number of companies quickly helped her through the process of dealing with stolen credit card information, but made it sound as if Apple did not play a part in the process. This comes as a bit of a surprise as Apple has made it there priority to improve the security of their devices and also allow their users more freedom. It is not currently clear what kind of reaction Google had when they learned of her credit card information being stolen.
The attorney general went on to say that you believe that the company had created a substantial risk of identity theft if people were able to get into account so easily. You can take security seriously want, but if people are able to get into your account by utilizing information stealing applications, then you have to do that there are always going to be issues with identity and other information getting into the wrong hands.
There has been no public reaction by the company at this time, and they are expected to play close to the head. They likely did not want to address the accusations that she is made at this time and instead will do an internal investigation. It will be interesting to see how both companies continue to pursue this case and investigation moving forward.

Carbon County Recreation director, Steve Christensen and Carbon County Commissioner, Steven Burge recently announced that a group of architects will be in Price July 21 to discuss the possibility of constructing a community recreation facility in Carbon County.
While in the local area, the architects will provide information to county officials and to the public concerning the construction of a public center.
The county representatives explained that the main reason for meeting with the architect group is to determine whether it is financially feasible to construct such a facility in Carbon County and to identify potential funding sources and then see if it is feasible to fund ongoing maintenance and operation expenses.
By meeting with the architects, the county representatives hope to establish a working relationship with the group so that cooperation will continue between the two entities.
During next weeks visit, the county officials hope to develop a conceptual drawing of what a facility in Carbon County may look like.
A public planning meeting will take place July 21 at 2:30 p.m. At this time, ideas and concerns regarding the construction of a community facility will be discussed.
The forum will take place at the Carbon County Recreation Center located at 90 North 100 East in Price.

I did two kite aerial photography sessions several days apart at opposite ends of the beach named Playa El Palmar, Ixtapa, Mexico. Playa El Palmar is the nearest beach to Casa Candiles, the Bed and Breakfast where we stayed during our vacation. The B&B is about 10 minutes walk from the public access near the south end of the beach (beside the Barcelo Hotel). There are no small hotels or B&Bs on the beach as you will see from the photographs. The buildings are large hotels and condominium complexes.
These images were obtained using a camera suspended below a kite line (Kite Aerial Photography – KAP). Each of the two sessions was with autoKAP, whereby the camera was triggered every 8 to 10 seconds while making a stepwise slow 360 degree rotation. The wind was not strong enough to lift my fully remote-controlled rig.
During the first session on February 16, 2012, I explored the southern end of the beach with my aerial camera. Photos from that session can be viewed in the KAP 2012-4 Gallery.
The second session was on February 22, 2010 and I explored the northern end of the beach, including Marina Ixtapa which is somewhat inland and connected to the Pacific Ocean by a channel. Photos from the second session can be viewed in the KAP 2012-5 Gallery.
In this posting I have included a mix of photos from the two sessions. All of these images are in an around Playa El Palmar.

PAWTUCKET — As PawSox manager Gary DiSarcina and pitching coach Rich Sauveur deftly explained, there are certain and significant areas that require Anthony Ranaudo's attention.
Mind you this particular topic has nothing to do with Ranaudo's ability to throw a baseball. In the promising righthander's case, what DiSarcina and Sauveur are implying is that Ranaudo comprehends the importance of his "other" duties, such as fielding the position and holding runners.
The two coaches touched upon the skills that need shoring up prior to Ranaudo blanking the Buffalo Bisons through 6.2 innings Tuesday night at McCoy Stadium.
"Anthony's a big kid, so he doesn't have a lot working for him when he finishes, which is why you'll see him fall toward the first-base side of the mound. That's why balls hit his way are tough to get," was an observation that became apparent to DiSarcina not long after the 6-foot-7 Ranaudo joined Pawtucket earlier this month. "How do you work on that? You get out and pitch. Anthony needs to experience things by making plays or errors … doing the things that will make him better."
Added Sauveur, "You can't say that you want a pitcher to anticipate (baseballs hit back in his direction) because now you're going to have more attention paid toward fielding the ball rather than attacking the hitter. Anthony does need a lot of improvement on fielding, there's no doubt about that, but when he's out there, he's got to worry about getting hitters out.
"Not everybody can have a good fielding position, especially the hard throwers, "Sauveur continued. "I think he's done fairly well, but it's a work in progress."
On the subject of keeping baserunners in check, Sauveur noted that one motion that the Red Sox emphasize with their young pitchers upon reaching the Class AAA ranks is the slide step. To that end, Sauveur noted that Ranaudo has done a pretty good job in that area. International League teams have successfully stolen just one base during his first four starts with Pawtucket.
"When they get to Boston, they need to be able to hold runners on," said Sauveur. "When they leave here, I want them to be able to have a side step and vary their looks to the plate. That's why they are here – to learn and get better."
Staying on topic, DiSarcina noted, "Anthony doesn't have a slide step, and that needs to improve. The day of having 10-12 guys hitting 45-50 home runs is over. It's about speed and taking extra bases. That's why you don't want to send a young pitcher up and see him get run on where he allows six stolen bases.
"A lot of guys don't know how to slide step. It's not taught in Single-A ball because you're taught to throw strikes and pitch to contact. Holding runners is not a priority," DiSarcina continued. "Once a pitcher gets to Double A and Triple A, it's about polishing up so you can give the catcher a chance to make a throw."
Given his close working relationship with Xander Bogaerts the past few seasons, it's probably not a shock to learn that Red Sox Minor-League Fielding Coordinator Andy Fox was beaming with pride upon learning that his prized pupil had gotten the call to the majors.
"I'm probably as excited as he is just because of the work he's put in and the challenges that he's had," said Fox when reached at his California home Tuesday. "I'm fired up for him. He's worked his tail off to get there."
Fox mentioned that he's exchanged several congratulatory-themed text messages with Bogaerts. More well wishes will probably come Wednesday afternoon as Fox plans to visit AT&T Park to see Boston's game against San Francisco.
"Xander and I would always talk about him appearing in a big-league game," said Fox. "Now I have the chance to see it in person."
Fox doesn't foresee a problem where Bogaerts suddenly becomes complacent just because he's reached the final destination that all professional baseball players seek to reach.
"When he came up to Pawtucket, he had to learn the things that go on in Triple A. It's no different in the big leagues just because it's a new stage," said Fox. "The way he's gone about things and the way he's adapted, he actually has an aptitude where he'll look at it and learn from any sort of challenge."
EXTRA BASES: Doling out playing to two catchers on the 40-man roster is nothing new to DiSarcina. With Ryan Lavarnway back in town, DiSarcina plans to have him and the white-hot Dan Butler in the same lineup on a daily basis. Lavarnway will catch four times a week with Butler getting three starting nods behind the plate. When one is catching, the other one will serve as Pawtucket's DH. "They need their at-bats," said DiSarcina. … Rubby De La Rosa will pitch "meaningful innings" out of the bullpen for the PawSox, according to DiSarcina. "We want to get him into some pressure situations." All 20 of De La Rosa's appearances with Pawtucket this season have come in a starting role. … The PawSox will bus to Moosic, Pa. for a four-game series against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre that commences Wednesday night. The locals will be back at McCoy Stadium next Sunday to kickoff the final homestand of the season, a seven-game stretch that will feature three contests against Scranton/WB and four against Syracuse. … As a friendly reminder, tickets for all potential PawSox playoff home games are on sale. Call (401) 724-7300 or visit www.pawsox.com for more information.

Oil!by Upton Sinclair
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In Oil! Upton Sinclair fashioned a novel out of the oil scandals of the Harding administration, providing in the process a detailed picture of the development of the oil industry in Southern California. Bribery of public officials, class warfare, and international rivalry over oil production are the context for Sinclair's story of a genial independent oil developer and his son, whose sympathy with the oilfield workers and socialist organizers fuels a running debate with his father. Senators, small investors, oil magnates, a Hollywood film star, and a crusading evangelist people the pages of this lively novel.
"Sinclair's 1927 novel did for California's oil industry what The Jungle did for Chicago's meat-packing factories." Library Journal
Upton Sinclair's classic revelatory novel about turn-of-the-century business and immigrant labor practices--with an afterword by Dr. Barry Sears, the New York Times bestselling author of The Zone.
Jurgis Rudkus, a young Lithuanian immigrant in search of a better life, faces instead an epic struggle for survival. His story of factory life in Chicago in the early twentieth century is a saga of barbarous working conditions, crushing poverty, crime, disease, and despair.
Upton Sinclairs vivid depiction of the horrors of Chicagos stockyards and slaughterhouses aroused such public indignation that a government investigation was called, eventually resulting in the passage of pure food laws. More than a hundred years later, The Jungle continues to pack the same emotional power it did when it was first published.

There Will Be Blood wins two 2008 Academy Awards. Read about it here.
Penguin Books is proud to now be the sole publisher of Oil!, the classic 1927 novel by Upton Sinclair. After writing The Jungle, his scathing indictment of the meatpacking industry, Sinclair turned his sights on the early days of the California oil industry in a highly entertaining story featuring a cavalcade of characters including senators, oil magnets, Hollywood film starlets, and a crusading evangelist.
This lively and panoramic book, which was recently cited by David Denby in the New Yorker as being Sinclair's "most readable" novel, is now the inspiration for the Paramount Vantage major motion picture, There Will Be Blood. It is the long-awaited film from Paul Thomas Anderson, one of the most admired filmmakers working today whose previous movies, Boogie Nights and Magnolia were both multiple Academy Award nominees. The movie stars Oscar-winner Daniel Day-Lewis (Gangs of New York, My Left Foot) and Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine).
Paramount Vantage will be releasing the film in New York and Los Angeles on December 26, 2007 and go nationwide in January. This is the same company responsible for Babel and A Mighty Heart and the current releases, Into the Wild, Margot at the Wedding, and The Kite Runner.
As wars rage on in the oil region and as anxiety over natural resources rise, the subject of this book, which celebrates its 80th anniversary in 2007, is more timely than ever.
About the Author
Upton Sinclair (1878-1968) was born in Baltimore. At age fifteen, he began writing a series of dime novels in order to pay for his education at the City College of New York. He was later accepted to do graduate work at Columbia, and while there he published a number of novels, including The Journal of Arthur Stirling (1903) and Manassas (1904). Sinclair's breakthrough came in 1906 with the publication of The Jungle, a scathing indictment of the Chicago meat-packing industry. His later works include World's End (1940), Dragon's Teeth (1942), which won him a Pulitzer Prize, O Shepherd, Speak! (1949) and Another Pamela (1950).

I would like to than all of the people in this community and throughout the state that have expressed their shock, disbelief and anger at USU Eastern for firing Todd Olsen. The most commonly stated fact from most of you was "Todd Olsen is CEU!"
You also said that "We always knew that if we had a question about CEU or needed help with something in regards to CEU Todd would help us."
Todd dedicated 21 years of his life to CEU, not just 8 hours a day but around the clock if needed. Todd was an advocate for CEU, as well as for Carbon and Emery counties. He was also a spokesman in a number of venues throughout the state.
I am Todd's mother so I have first hand knowledge of his dedication and what has gone on during the transition at CEU/USU Eastern. I am sure that sure that USU Eastern has made a large mistake by "not retaining" Todd and all of the others they chose to let go.
It seems that the people they let go were the people who had the students best interest at heart.
Thanks again to all of those that realize this.

Advanced Stats: Extrapolating GVT into a WAR stat
Perusing a list of GVT rankings is one thing. It can tell you that Martin St. Louis (20.4 GVT) had a season twice as good as Gaborik (10.2). How much does that difference really mean to the teams they play for?
Hockey, like all competitive sports, is about winning games. For the GVT metric to be helpful to a team in any tangible way we have to know how a player's GVT relates to a team's won-loss record. Fortunately, this can be done.
In baseball they've determined just how many runs (RAR) equal a team win. This allows us to calculate how many wins above replacement a player is worth to his team. The metric in baseball is called Wins Above Replacement (WAR).
They've also deduced how many games a team comprised of only "replacement" players would win in a season. My memory says it's somewhere around 50 or so games. Theoretically you should be able to tally up the total WAR accumulated by the players on a team and add it to the win total of the "Replacement" team. That total should equal or be close to equaling the actual total team wins for that club.
I recently considered if that has already been done for hockey. Of course I knew it was possible; I just didn't know if I could figure it out myself. So I reached out again to Tom Awad. Here's what he had to tell me about how many goals (per the GVT stat) equal a win.
"Generally speaking, 3 goals = 1 point (or 6 goals = 1 win). You can take my word for it or just regress it."
I took his word for it. He's better at this than I.
In essence, if we looked at the Rangers GVT ratings we could calculate their WAR, or WAT (Wins Above Threshold). Here's what that looks like:
- Ryan Callahan – 7.8 GVT = 1.3 WAT
- Brandon Dubinsky – 9.6 = 1.6 WAT
- Marian Gaborik – 10.2 = 1.7 WAT
- Artem Anisimov – 7.5 = 1.25 WAT
- Brad Richards – 17.5 = 2.92 WAT
- Mike Rupp – 1.4 = 0.23 WAT
- Brian Boyle – 8.0 = 1.33 WAT
- Brandon Prust – 6.3 = 1.05 WAT
- Marc Staal – 8.7 = 1.45 WAT
- Dan Girardi – 9.9 = 1.65 WAT
- Ryan McDonagh – 4.6 = 0.77 WAT
- Michael Sauer – 7.1 = 1.18 WAT
- Mats Zuccarello – 5.5 = 0.91 WAT
- Derek Stepan – 7.0 = 1.17 WAT
- Henrik Lundqvist – 29.6 = 4.93 WAT
To put that into context, in theory if we had replaced Henrik Lundqvist with a "Threshold" goaltender (maybe like Chad Johnson), the Blueshirts would have earned almost 10 fewer points, placed 11th in the conference and missed the postseason. That sounds plausible at least.

Despite the defeat, WKU still leads the all-time series between the two rivals 92-36. Middle Tennessee has now won 24-straight regular season games at the Murphy Center.
Kevin Kaspar led WKU with 14 points on 6-of-9 shooting, and Stephon Drane added nine in 10 minutes off the bench. Middle Tennessee was paced by 15 points by Marcos Knight and 10 and seven rebounds by Bruce Massey.
Despite falling behind 8-0 at the start of the game, WKU chipped away at the lead via the free throw line and got within six points at one point before the half ended with Middle Tennessee on top 30-23. WKU made 11 of 18 free throw tries (.611) in the first half, and won the battle of the boards in the opening 20 minutes 18-12. Middle Tennessee shot 44.0 percent from the field (.440) and limited WKU to 31.6 percent shooting in the half (6-for-19).
WKU had 12 turnovers, which the Blue Raiders converted into 13 first-half points. WKU was led by George Fant's seven points and six from Kaspar. Twelve different Hilltoppers played in the first half and seven scored.
Kaspar buried a three-pointer to make the score 42-36 Middle Tennessee with 14:01 left in the game, but from there the Blue Raiders scored 14-straight points and 19 of the next 22 to open up a 61-39 lead and provide all the cushion they needed.
WKU finished the game shooting 39.0 percent from the floor (16-for-41) and made 17 of 27 free throw tries (.630). Middle Tennessee shot 48.1 percent for the game (25-for-52) and hit six three-pointers. The Blue Raiders forced 18 WKU turnovers in the contest, and Middle Tennessee turned a six rebound disadvantage in the first half into a plus-six rebounding margin for the game.
WKU returns home on Thursday for a 7:00 contest against Troy. The game will be televised by the Hilltopper Sports Satellite Network airing nationally on ESPN3 and ESPN Full Court, regionally on WKYU-PBS and in Louisville on WBNA. It will also be broadcast on the radio on the Hilltopper IMG Sports Network with Randy Lee and Hal Schmitt on the call.

Wake up to Fairtrade!
The 2012 Fairtrade Breakfast Campaign is underway
Why not start your day with a cup of coffee grown by the Hop Tac Cooperative in Vietnam ? Or make pancakes filled with bananas from small producers groups like APPBOSA in Peru? Or go one step further and organize a breakfast in your office or home, and get your friends, colleagues and family to come along? Not only will you be enjoying delicious food and drink but you will be supporting farmers and workers in developing countries, as well as joining thousands of people across the globe campaigning for fairer terms of trade.
Last year, around a quarter of a million people took part in 22 countries, holding breakfasts big and small with Fairtrade products in April and May. Some of the events were massive – with hundreds of people eating breakfast in public squares on World Fair Trade Day. Others were closer to home with families seeing how many Fairtrade products they could get on the breakfast table. This year, events are taking place worldwide from 20 April to 20 May, in countries as diverse as Ghana and Germany, Austria and Australia. In Lebanon, one of the latest additions to the Fairtrade family, farmers and consumers will come together for a massive Fairtrade Brunch in the Beirut souks on the weekend of World Fair Trade Day (12-13 May). It's the first major event for this country, with the first Lebanese farmers joining Fairtrade just a few months ago. http://www.fairtrade.net/single_view1+M5bdddec1ea1.html
We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day but millions of people around the world miss this meal because they can't afford to eat three times a day. For farmers, workers, their families and communities, increased local food prices and higher food production costs mean that incomes are not always sufficient to meet growing household costs.
Fairtrade works to change this. Over 1.2 million farmers and workers now benefit from fairer prices and better terms of trade, but there's still many more who we need to reach. Help us get a fair deal for all farmers and workers by eating a Fairtrade breakfast today!
For inspirational breakfast ideas check out our breakfast page.
Breakfast campaigns are being held in these countries:

Ok, Im working on some script that is using the exec function. Why I mention this only? Well, Im almost 100% surtain that this is the "bad-guy" here! My problem is that when I run the script, it does all the job FIRST and THEN show me the output I do in the script! Even echo("BLABLA"); on first row (after the <?php) doesnt help! Even tried flush(), but no luck! This is really getting to bugg me, because I dont get why the h-ll it wont show anything, until all is done!
Also, I can mention that I run my script using the cli version. However, using the "normal" one (cgi?) dosnt matter, since I got the same problem there aswell - No output until all is done!
Oh, and also, the script run programs like unzip etc (not that it should make any difference!, since I got output here and there, so output should be now and then, BEFORE some exec functions are called!)
ANY ideas on how to solve this would be nice,
