Info on active remediation proposals and projects. Click on the question to view the answer.
Two bids are required for excavation during active remediation unless the excavation is related to system installation. For example, two bids would not be required for excavation of trenches required for the installation of system piping if system installation is included in the consultant proposal. Two bids would be required for excavation of contaminated soil done as a corrective action in and of itself.
If the MPCA has approved active remediation at the site, all monitoring well sampling costs should be included in the active remediation proposals to be submitted to the Petrofund for review. There is one exception to this requirement. If contaminated soil excavation was performed as the approved corrective action at the site, and the only tasks left to perform at the site are sampling and reporting of existing monitoring wells, then the costs for the sampling and reporting services may be submitted on the consultant services change order form for the limited site investigation or full remedial investigation step of services.
Consultants are encouraged to be as detailed as possible when proposing system operation and maintenance costs, in order to give the applicant and the Petrofund staff the information necessary to determine the reasonableness of the proposed costs and to establish the basis for the proposed costs in case a change order becomes necessary.
Info on reimbursement, proposal, invoice and other forms. Click on the question to view the answer.
An applicant is not required to get a proposal for certain services when they are performed as part of excavation and soil disposal oversight that occurs before the first limited site investigation or full remedial investigation of the leak site occurs. Accordingly, the "Excavation and Soil Disposal Oversight before the first LSI or full RI" form is not used as a proposal form. Instead, it is used by consultants to document the costs that were invoiced for excavation and soil disposal oversight services before the first investigation (LSI or full RI) at the site began.
Because costs for drilling, groundwater sample analysis, and soil sample analysis may be included in a consultant proposal for the limited site investigation or full remedial investigation step of services, the separate proposal forms for drilling and analysis costs will likely be used only in those relatively infrequent cases in which the applicant chooses to contract directly with a driller or analytical laboratory.
Info on petrofund 2003 rules. Click on the question to view the answer.
The maximum cost for "mobilization/demobilization (drilling)" depends on the drilling technology used for the particular drilling event and the distance between the driller's office and the leaksite (or the distance between the leaksite and another location from which drilling equipment is mobilized when the alternate location is closer to the leaksite than the driller's office is). Maximum costs for mobilization/demobilization of direct push drilling equipment are specified in Minn. Rule 2890.3100, and maximum costs for mobilization/demobilization of hollow-stem auger, mud or air rotary, air coring, or rotosonic drilling equipment are specified in Minn. Rule 2890.3700. In each case, the maximum cost is calculated using the distance one way. For example, if direct push drilling equipment is used and it travels 120 miles one way to the leaksite, the maximum cost, which in this specific example is "$250 plus $5 per mile over 50," is calculated as follows:
$250 plus $350 [120 miles one way - 50 miles = 70 miles; 70 miles x $5 = $350] = $600
The answer depends on how far the investigation and cleanup of the site have progressed. If the limited site investigation or full remedial investigation step has not been completed, the applicant must get competitive proposals for the work necessary to complete that step. On the other hand, if the limited site investigation or full remedial investigation step has been completed, the applicant is not required to get competitive proposals, but still must get a written proposal for the appropriate step of active remediation services from the new consultant. (Please note that the applicant must not approve an active remediation proposal until it has been reviewed by Petrofund staff.)
The rules specify maximum costs for consultant services based on units of work performed rather than hours, but they also specify maximum hourly rates to ensure that reimbursements are based on reasonable actual charges. Applicants want some assurance that they can rely on the rates originally proposed by their consultant and do not want to be surprised by unreasonably increased rates after the original proposal has been accepted. On the other hand, reasonable increases in rates can occur because overhead costs in the environmental consulting industry may increase from year to year.
The rules address all of these concerns and make allowances for a 5 percent increase in consultant hourly rate charges per year after at least one year has passed since the original proposal was accepted. Please note, however, that the maximum hourly rates still apply, as do the maximum cost and the amount proposed by the consultant for each task.
Info on the procedure to invoice for clean-up costs.
A consultant's company letterhead invoices must meet general standards of disclosure. In short, this means that those invoices must include the name and address of the person being billed, the name and address of the person requesting payment, the total monetary amount due, the leaksite name and location, the project identification number, the invoice date, the service period, and an itemization of the actual cleanup tasks completed during the service period. The itemization must specify each task performed (using the task names defined in the Petrofund rules) and the hourly rate(s) of the employee(s) that performed it. This will allow the actual costs incurred to be identified and their reasonableness to be determined.
Info on the process to submit proposals and bids. Click on the question to view the answer.
The general assumptions implied by this question are correct: first, costs for "AST soil sampling" are not eligible for reimbursement when a release is discovered through the performance of that task; second, "AST soil sampling" is typically performed during the LSI or full RI. In some cases, however, the MPCA may request that "AST soil sampling" be performed after a release has been discovered but before the LSI or full RI begins. In those cases, the costs for "AST soil sampling" should be invoiced on the "Excavation and Soil Disposal Oversight before the first LSI or full RI" form.
The notation "5 groundwater samples" on the "Limited Site Investigation (LSI) Standard Scope" proposal form is meant to represent the five groundwater samples that will be analyzed for VOCs and other required parameters, but costs for the required quality assurance samples as well as any necessary water supply well samples should also be entered on the proposal form.
When active remediation is not taking place at the site, costs for periodic groundwater monitoring should be put on the consultant services change order form for the limited site investigation or full remedial investigation step of services. When active remediation is taking place at the site, the estimated costs for periodic groundwater monitoring should be included in the proposal for the appropriate step of active remediation services.
If the applicant does not switch consultants, then the applicant does not need to sign off on additional investigation work before it is started, and the costs for the additional investigation services should be put on the consultant services change order form for the limited site investigation or full remedial investigation step of services.

In a recent Washington Post article covering the drone war, White House counterterrorism "czar" John Brennan (pictured) was quoted as saying, "There are aspects of the Yemen program that I think are a true model of what I think the U.S. counterterrorism community should be doing" to fight the spread of al-Qaeda in Northern Africa.
Before turning to the expansion of the death-by-drone program in North Africa, one should consider the case against Brennan's claim of success for the policy in the Yemeni theatre.
First, as we have reported, President Obama began ordering drone strikes in the Arab nation in 2009. Since that initial attack, Long War Journal reports that "the CIA and the US military's Joint Special Operations Command are known to have conducted at least 50 air and missile strikes inside Yemen."
Given Brennan's praise of the prosecution of the drone war in Yemen, one would imagine that al-Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula (AQAP) forces in Yemen have been eliminated or at least significantly weakened as a result of the U.S. drone attacks.
Not so much.
As Gregory Johnsen writes in BigThink.com:
Estimates of the group's size vary widely. But both US and Yemeni officials estimates in December 2009 suggested that AQAP was around 200-300, while today official US estimates range from 1,000 to several thousand. Yemenis who are close to AQAP suggest that the group has as many as 6,000 fighters.
But even taking the most conservative official estimate of AQAP's current strength, which happens to be Brennan's: the group still went from 200-300 fighters in 2009 to 1,000 today.

One of cinema's top tough guys, Charles Bronson, would have turned 91 today. In honor of his birthday, we're watching a few of his best movies.
Actor Charles Bronson is shown in this Feb. 22, 1974 photo. (AP Photo)
Though Bronson's acting career began in 1951, it would be nine years before he truly made a splash – in the John Sturges western classic The Magnificent Seven (based on Akira Kurosawa's legendary Seven Samurai). Acting alongside Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, James Coburn and other greats, Bronson played one of seven gunfighters helping protect a small Mexican town – and gained attention with his stony stare.
As Bronson's star rose, he landed a role in 1967's The Dirty Dozen (based in part on the real adventures of Jack Agnew and the "Filthy Thirteen") alongside Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland and John Cassavetes. One of twelve felons conscripted in WWII to kill German officers, Bronson's character was tough enough to survive the suicide mission. Tough – and a little disturbed.
1974 brought one of Bronson's starring roles, perhaps his most memorable. In Death Wish, Bronson played a man who took to vigilantism after the death of his wife. His characteristic stoniness made his backstreets crime fighter all the scarier.
Bronson died more than nine years ago, but his tough guys are still some of the greatest of all time.

AUGUSTA, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- It may be a little too cold to hop on a motorcycle this time of year, but that doesn't stop biker enthusiasts from fixing up their rides.
The 37th Annual Great Northern Motorcycle Swapmeet was held from 9am to 4pm Saturday, at the Augusta Civic Center.
Vendors brought leather jackets and gloves, jewelry, and sweet snacks.
Antique bikes and parts were for sale and for swap.
"I bought a fender. I have my first motorcycle and my husband and brother-in-laws are going to help me chop it up, bob it out, make it more me," said Sue Leplante from Topsham. "So I needed a new fender. Well, an old fender."
The event hosted information booths for getting a motorcycle license and riding safely.

POTSDAM Two people were arrested following a weekend incident at Maxfields Restaurant, 15 Market St., Potsdam police said.
Officers were called to Maxfields shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday on a report of an individual refusing to leave. When police tried to speak to Daniel J. Zimmerman, 23, Potsdam, he allegedly pushed an officer.
Mr. Zimmerman was arrested at 1:15 a.m. and charged with second-degree harassment. He was issued an appearance ticket for Potsdam Village Court.
A 24-year-old Erie County woman was arrested 20 minutes after Mr. Zimmerman for allegedly presenting police with a false name and date of birth when questioned. Rebecca A. Cruz, West Seneca, was charged with false personation and issued an appearance ticket for Village Court.
Sundays incident is not the first time Mr. Zimmerman has been accused of lashing out at a police officer. In December 2009, he struck his 16-year-old brother with an acoustic guitar and also bit the hand of the state trooper who tried to arrest him. Mr. Zimmerman pleaded guilty to third-degree assault and resisting arrest, and in August 2010 was given a years conditional discharge and ordered to pay $350 in fines and surcharges.

KIRTLAND -- President Barack Obama's acceptance speech is hitting close to home for a family from Kirtland.
Last weekend, they met President Obama during his campaign stop and their daughter became the focus of his acceptance speech Tuesday night.
Channel 3's John Anderson has more on this little girl and her fight that got the President's attention.
The girl is Erin Potter and seeing the speech was quite emotional for her and her family.
You could never tell by a video of Erin singing to a broomstick that she has battled cancer three times and has undergone two bone marrow traansplants.
Erin and her family met the President Saturday at a campaign stop in Mentor and it obviously had a lasting impression on the President.
There was a time when her father Kevin thought their health insurance would stop. But that was before, Kevin says.
He doesn't know where his family would be if the President's healthcare plan -- or his re-election bid -- would have lost.
As Erin recovers at home from her latest trip to University Hospital's Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital, she knows the President is pulling for her too.
Doctors said Erin just had her 100-day check-up after her bone marrow transplant and everything looks good.
Also, Erin just met Justin Bieber a few weeks ago and she ranks this meeting right up there with meeting the President.

Development of Computer-aided Detection and Diagnosis From Imaging Techniques
- Full Text View

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study will develop and evaluate new techniques for computer-aided detection and diagnosis (CAD) of medical problems using images from diagnostic tests such as computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, nuclear medicine and x-ray images. The Food and Drug Administration has approved CAD techniques for detecting masses and calcifications on mammography and lung nodules using chest x-rays. Many other applications of CAD would potentially benefit patients. This study will explore additional uses of CAD.
The study will use imaging data, demographic information, and other medical information from the medical charts of Clinical Center patients to test and evaluate new CAD applications. Such applications include detection of subcutaneous (under the skin) lesions in melanoma patients, bone lesions in patients with advanced cancer, and pulmonary emboli (blood clot lodged in a lung artery) in patients who are known to have pulmonary emboli, and other uses.
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|Development and Evaluation of Techniques for Computer Aided Detection and Diagnosis From Radiologic Images
- New computer-aided detection methods--algorithms [ Time Frame: Various ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Study Start Date:
|March 2003
Radiologic images are becoming more and more complex, and utilization of radiologic techniques is accelerating. Radiologists and other clinicians are being inundated with radiologic data. Computer aided detection and diagnosis (CAD) have the potential to improve patient care by increasing sensitivity of diagnostic tests, reducing false positives and improving physician efficiency. Computer aided detection and diagnosis have been under development for many years yet there is still much work to be done to move it from the bench to the bedside. The purpose of this project is to develop and evaluate techniques for CAD using the existing radiologic data available in the Clinical Center's Department of Diagnostic Radiology. Such techniques include but are not limited to automated detection of melanoma, bone metastases and pulmonary emboli. The outcome of this study will be algorithms and software that accurately detect lesions on radiologic studies.
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion criteria are the availability of radiologic examinations in the clinical PACS (picture archiving system) in the Clinical Center. Existing Patient scans with and without the target lesion will be included. Examples of target lesions include subcutaneous and bone lesions and pulmonary emboli, although patient scans with other disorders depicted on radiologic studies may be included when appropriate. Patient scans without the target lesion may be included to determine the specificity of the computer aided detection or diagnosis algorithm.
There are no exclusion criteria.

I made my case for R.A. Dickey on the Facebook fan page very early and was happy to see him get JAM. The Mets were horrible, Dickey was not.
This is more of a gameplay comment/question, but it was with the 2011 cards so I'll ask here. I was playing a game vs the computer, CHW vs Clev, the computer started the game with Thome playing 2b. How is this possible? I know Thome played one inning (or just 1 batter?) at 3b irl and is rated there, but how can he play 2B in the game?
I sent an email with the box score. No injuries, the computer apparently demoted all of Cleveland's 2B's so had no one rated to play there.
Problem has been fixed (a few days after I originally posted the issue, I'm just now getting around to posting here), I greatly appreciate it that Mike himself responds to questions and concerns.
I ordered my 2011 cards and game in late December, and am wondering approximately when to expect them in the mail? I can't wait.

Omega Pacific
Dirt Bag Draw (out-of-stock)
Out of Stock Product Number: 674
Each of Omega's quickdraws use high performance, nylon dogbone slings for ease of use and high strength (each is rated to 22kN). Six inches in length and secured with the Omega-series bartacks, they're ready for heavy use.
Omega Pacific orients their carabiners on all their standard quickdraws with the gates facing opposite each other. Omega feels that this is the safest method to minimize the possibility of loading your carabiners in a gate-open position.
If your lead takes you to the right or left of your last placement, the 'draw tends to move in that direction, as well. If you were to fall above that piece, the quickdraw will slide across the rock and reorient itself in the direction of the load - typically directly below your last piece. Chickenheads, knobs, nubbins and other features may open the carabiner gates, but by positioning the gates opposite each other, Omega Pacific ensures that both gates can't be nudged open simultaneously regardless of the direction of travel the draw will take as it orients itself in a fall. hen used in a quickdraw.

The Wild West town at North Springs accommodates group activities.
Rumors that the North Springs Shooting Range is closing are not true, but there will be some changes in operating hours and fees beginning with the new year.
Carbon County Recreation Director Steve Christensen said that beginning Jan. 3 hours will be Thursday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
While that is fewer hours than in the past, Christensen said he believes most shooters will be accommodated. During spring and summer the range will be open later in the day.
Fees will increase slightly. A basic day pass will now be $7 and a junior pass, for youth ages 12 to 16, will be $3. Seniors will be admitted for $5 and the entire immediate family can shoot the entire day for $25. There will continue to be no charge for shooters under age 12, nor for visitors and non-shooting observers.
There will be additional charges for the 3-D Archery range, the law enforcement range, and for the shotgun/trap range.
An annual pass is just $125, or $175 for a couple. Seniors pay $75 for a year pass and a family (immediate family members only) can use the facility for an entire year for $230.
For more information call the range at 636-3705.

Product Test: Reusable BBQ Sheet
Stainless Steel Dual Sided Reusable Barbecue Sheet. We bought it at Big Lots for $7. It is meant to keep smaller items from falling through the grates. The heat spreads evenly, it is non-stick and makes for easy clean up.
Our testers did like the product but thought it would be just another thing to have around -- and they prefer to cook bigger items like hot dogs and chicken on the grill. They gave the product one thumb up and one down.

LONDON (AP) -Queen Elizabeth II has left the hospital Monday afternoon after a one-day stay caused by a stomach ailment.
The 86-year-old queen fell ill Friday and was being treated at Windsor Castle until Sunday, when she was moved to a central London hospital as a precaution.
It is the first time she has been hospitalized in a decade. Palace officials say she is otherwise in good health.

Mets may not add a big league outfielder to the roster this winter
A team insider told Adam Rubin of ESPN New York the Mets may not sign an outfielder to a Major League contract this winter.
As such, Rubin says Lucas Duda would be the primary left fielder, Kirk Nieuwenhuis would be the starting center fielder, and Mike Baxter would be the starting right fielder, all of whom are left-handed hitters.
Collin Cowgill, Brian Bixler, and Justin Turner will get consideration as right-handed platoon options in the outfield, which would allow both Brandon Hicks and Omar Quintanilla to compete as backup infielders.
If Turner is ultimately to be a backup infielder, the Mets would then consider either Bixler or Andrew Brown as second options for the right-handed hitting outfield spot.
Michael Baron, ContributorSeriously? Simply put, the Mets have fewer Major League outfielders on the roster than they had at the end of last year, and their outfield last year was just awful. I understand the options on the free agent market aren't that compelling, but the Mets are paper thin out there – they need to add more outfielders, even if it's just Scott Hairston.
In the scenario Rubin lays out, the Mets would pretty much be banking on huge growth from both Duda and Nieuwenhuis, they would simply hope Baxter can handle a starting job, and they can get something out of two of Cowgill, Brown, Bixler, or Turner. None of the three starting options proved they are capable of hitting left-handed pitching consistently, and they struck out way too much last season in general. I mean, they all have to prove they are everyday players to begin with. Needless to say, that's a lot to ask and is very difficult to digest after last season.
Speaking of Duda, he told Rubin his surgically repaired wrist is healthy, has already started throwing, and expects to begin hitting next week.
Statistics and information Duda, Nieuwenhuis, and Baxter...
Stats: Duda, Nieuwenhuis, and Baxter combined to hit .248 with 41 doubles, four triples, 25 home runs and 102 RBI with 101 walks and 263 strikeouts in 862 at-bats.
They combined to hit just .206 with four doubles, five home runs and 13 RBI with 22 walks and 75 strikeouts in 214 at-bats against left-handed pitching.
Contracts: Baxter is eligible for arbitration after the 2013 season, Duda after the 2014 season, Nieuwenhuis after the 2015 season.

From Rose's Garden: Experiencing the Joy of Being Rose
Learn more about the challenge.
As I pondered what to write about this week, my thoughts continually drifted to self-love. I am working on being me...being Rose...that woman that I have somehow managed to lose along the way.
Who is Rose? Well, that depends on my settings and the people who surround me.
Put me in the business world, and I'm a go getter, an A type of gal but with softer edges than I had 20 years ago. A kinder, gentler version of Rose. I am very confident in the business world. I've had a lot of experience, am pretty good at making decisions, and am very good at seeing the big picture in most situations. I enjoy this part of my job, seeing the big picture and figuring out what needs to be done in order to attain a goal. I enjoy pleasing my boss as well. Who doesn't, really?
I also enjoy mentoring other women in the work world. I had some less than perfect experiences in the business world as a young woman. My goal when training young women just entering the accounting/business world is to share as much information as I can. I do this in a timely manner, allowing them to absorb a little at a time, watching them develop a comfort level, and then helping them rise to the next level. I love watching a person's confidence build as she attains knowledge and expertise. It's very gratifying. In that sense, I think I may have done well in the teaching field.
In my personal life, I'm a total domestic goddess. I absolutely love all things domestic...sans cleaning, of course. I love to cook for people and watch them enjoy my food. I love to sew. I love to paint. I homeschooled my youngest son for four years, and to this day I love that I had such a profound effect on his life at a very crucial time. He and I share a very special bond. I love just being in my home and creating my own little world. I enjoy pleasing my family and friends with food and drink during get-togethers in my home. Most of all, my "loves" on the home front and at work involve doing for others and creating an experience for them, hopefully a pleasant one!
I am just now realizing for the very first time that I have never been able to strike a balance in my life. I have spent almost no time on me as a person with needs. As a young woman, I absolutely loved to be outdoors, walking and biking. I loved the rush from exercise and all the endorphins rushing through my body. So energizing! Somehow I managed to push that special time to the back of my life and it just stopped happening for me. I managed to be oh so busy creating and doing for others that I haven't taken care of myself.
So where does this leave me? In search of Rose...the Rose that I am meant to be...at peace with myself and who I am at any given moment. And how and where do I begin?
Shirley, my amazing coach, mentioned Louise Hay to me in our very first conversation. And so I begin with Louise. I picked up one of her books on Kindle this week, and am reading through the book. I will then go back and do little exercises and affirmations. What is my goal here? To learn to love and please myself, completely and unconditionally. I am totally prepared that this won't be an easy task for me. In the section that I'm currently reading, Louise tells me to go back to my childhood and start cleaning house. I'm not looking forward to this part of the exercise because, let's face it, most of us have some sort of dysfunction that goes back to childhood. We just have different demons that we deal with.
Not once did I give a thought to how much this six month commitment was going to mean to me, to the Rose that I have lost. This isn't just about being gluten free, dairy free, soy free, or egg free. It's not just about the food! It's also about learning to love myself. If I don't love and accept myself, then how can I become who I am truly meant to be?
P.S. Regarding my sugar addiction, I am making some progress. My morning death drink now has far less sugar since I have been adding unsweetened vanilla almond milk in place of some of the sweetener. I am becoming more accustomed to the flavor and enjoying it. Baby steps. ♥

Rose, that was so well said, so well written, I loved your post. You are so right, this challenge is much more than just being GF!
- June 20, 2013 at 10:36 AM
Isn't that book A-MAZ-ING!!! (You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay). It was published 1984/1999! Why, oh WHY had I never come across it before?!? If I hadn't signed up for this Challenge, I would have never discovered it. I am so glad Rose, that you asked Shirley Plant what to read, and so glad that Shirley recommended it. I got a copy from my library, but I know I will buy a copy to keep for myself and use for a weekly refresher.
- June 20, 2013 at 12:40 PM
Why, thank you, Dorothy. I always enjoy your posts, as well. I believe that those of us with all of these food intolerances and sensitivities, are also, more sensitive to everything in our world. Getting back to our true selves and loving that person really has to be step one.
- June 29, 2013 at 9:18 AM
Stella, yes, I am surprised that I haven't heard of Louise prior to this challenge. When I read her story, at the end, I, TOTALLLY, knew why her book hit home for me. I had a similar experience in my home life, before I left at age 16.
What a wonderful person she is...and such an inspiration for all of us.
I borrowed the book on Kindle and read it through the first time, as Louise suggests. I, now, am having trouble deciding if I want a hard copy, as well. :)

Great Start for Shump
Tommy DeeBefore we get into what I thought was a really exciting first step for "The Rook", take a look at his highlights via TheKnicksWall.
Obviously, knocking down two corner threes makes me incredibly happy and what Shumpert did bring to the mix was an aggressiveness to the basket that was great to see. What I've always loved about him is his unwavering confidence, something that can be both a hinderance and absolute springboard to stardom.
People think I'm hard on Shumpert, but if you've ever seen Knicks practices take a look at how Woodson hammers him in trying to drill details and keep him focused. Good coaches are good like that in developing talent and that's always been my point. You can't assume a player will hit their ceiling. You can't expect that to happen because it often doesn't.
Today was about slowly introducing an explosive and talented young player into the mix and, to me, it couldn't have gone any better. He was patient, did well in transition reads and got open looks at the SG position. He didn't seem limited other than by his coach in terms of minutes.
I was very leery about coming back off that knee, but that's clearly changed. I'm very optimistic that Shumpert can be the missing piece to take this team on a championship ride.
But as we always say here… one step at a time.

Looks like all is not fair in love and tattoos -- Kat Von D and Deadmau5 have called it quits!
On Wednesday, the "L.A. Ink" star took to Twitter to share the news ... and some pretty serious allegations against her former DJ beau.
"Cheating on your loved one is the most hurtful thing one could do. I hate to have to admit, that this relationship is indeed over," Kat posted. "Onwards and upwards," she added.
Deadmau5 proposed to the tattoo artist via Twitter last December with a skull and black diamond ring, and the pair were planning to have an under-water themed wedding this year.
This would have been the 31-year-old's second trip down the aisle -- Kat was married to Oliver Peck from 2003-2007 and was previously engaged to Jesse James before saying "Yes" to the 32-year-old musician's social media proposal.

With the announcements at the recent CES - one has to wonder - what is 2012 the year of?" Will it be SmartTVs? Perhaps it's the year of the interactive technology? Or maybe it is 4G LTE smartphones that will steal the spotlight this year. As of this early date, it is Android devices that look to have the competitive advantage this year. It very well could be a great opportunity to win over mind and market share, but they need to leverage the lead before Research In Motion (Blackberry) and Apple bring their own 4G LTE devices to market later this year.
What kind of growth are we looking at? According to DigiTimes who published 2012 estimates, Monday, they are anticipating between 4% and 5% of smartphones shipped this year will be 4G LTE capable. When reviewing their sources it is really clear that Android manufacturers are months ahead of the competition. Samsung, LG, Pantech, Motorola Mobility and HTC were named as industry players that will be launching 4G LTE handsets.
Enhance your mobility and turn your Android device into a power tool! Discover select accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables and glider gloves all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich and extremely fast.
Depending on how quickly Apple and RIM work and how effective their messaging is, the gap could be quickly closed and the opportunity lost. More specifically, there is buzz around Apple's to-be-released products this year, the iPhone 5 and iPad 3, which based on rumor will be 4G LTE capable.
Leaving your valuable mobile Android devices unprotected is risky! Discover the latest innovative protection solutions... stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
One point this writer would like clarified is what the ramifications of this technology coupled with the race to get smartphones with the capability to use it will be. Will the current trend continue pattern of "sign long-term contract with service provider, get free smartphone"? Or will we be able to break free from this carrier imposed yoke with unlocked cell phones that will empower us to choose our preferred service provider and negotiate a service contract that best meets our interactive needs at the right price!
Only time will tell what the implications will be. At the moment, 4G LTE has not been well-explained to the public and is potentially cost inhibitive. So, without a little tweaking it may turn out to not be the year of the 4G LTE network after all.

Wallace & Gromit's cracking new board game, Fleeced!, has now hit the shops in time for Christmas! Want to know what it's like? Forum member and superfan Seb reveals all....
"Well here it is, I finally have a copy of Fleeced in my hands after waiting for over a year due to product delays in China! Upon opening you are greeted by the instructions booklet. With most board games this is the first item you find, and it's usually a rather boring affair with the rules set out in a very unfriendly, uninviting way, but this is no ordinary game.
Indeed this game is the brainchild of Mr Nick Park himself so, like his films, you can expect something a little different! In this case, it's the design of the instruction booklet. Presented as a newspaper you read about the problems that the citizens of West Wallaby Street are encountering as sheep run amok among the area – staking out in different buildings.
It's a good job the instruction booklet is appealing, as otherwise it could be a real turn-off. You need everyone who plays the game to listen to everything in the leaflet carefully as there are a lot of rules which seem unfamiliar at first – a game like this having never been released before. After reading the instructions you should have a fairly good idea of what to do, but keep them at hand because for at least the first few games as you're going to need to keep referring to them!
For a test-run of the game I got everyone in the family involved – my younger sister, myself (teenager), my parents, and even my mid-eighties Grandmother! I'm pleased to say that we all found it easy to understand (at least, once we had the hang of it!) and everyone was in agreement that it's a sure hit and a game that will see a lot of use over the Christmas period and beyond.
The game takes a little while to get going, as there's not much to do until you get sheep onto the board, but after ten to fifteen minutes it all gets going and you're ready to rustle! From then on a game can go on for as long as you want it to. They can last for hours, but if you bend the rules a little and remove a sheep hideout from the board the game can speed up radically.
Sheep can be taken from either the village green, or you can steel them from other players before you take them back to your 'base' where they are safe (obviously I won't go into exactly how you do that here – it's a lot more fun for you to discover yourself!)
These are, however, the biggest drawbacks that we found, and really all it means is that you have to concentrate, which is never a downside as it means your mind won't wander!
Overall the attention to detail far outweighs any real faults. From the rules created to assist parents with energetic children (no blowing of the whistles unless the rules specify you must – otherwise you must forfeit a sheep!), to the detail of the board. Wallace and Gromit fans will have a lot of fun looking at the clever artwork – one example being the 'Drop Off With Snoozy Choc' poster from 'The Wrong Trousers'. The figures you use to play are also so wonderful you just want to remove them from the box and display them!
The big twists that can change the whole course of a game are also welcome – the best being any sneaky production of an 'anti-rustle card' that will stop evil doers in their paths (caught me out twice!)
Overall then, is this an essential purchase or not? Simply put – yes.
This is so original, and has to be one of the most fun games ever produced. Both Wallace and Gromit hardcore fans and newbies will enjoy this game for hours and hours, no matter what age you are. Nick Park has again created something so simple and yet so fantastic that it goes to show just how much of a genius he truly is.
One final thing to take into account if you buy the game: The instructions don't say this, but once you use a 'sheep hideout card' keep it somewhere other than the envelope, i.e. don't pick it again later. It seems they are specifically designed for one use and the game won't work otherwise. This won't make sense if you haven't played the game – but, if you do buy it, bear it in mind!"

Already bought Fleeced! but having problems with the whistles? Follow this link for advice: http://www.wallaceandgromit.com/forum/read/2336/1/
wow that's a long thread
Yeah, long. But, Katie, is Fleeced coming to Glasgow! I'd love it for Christmas!!!
i don't like the whistles because i don't want other peoples germs on them so i might buy some cheap whistles from pound shop.
Oh, stop bothering, Kieran. The whistles are fine!
the game is fab, weve played it loads since we got it and its really funny nicking one anothers sheep, its great playing it with people that have a great sence of humour its a screem, i spend most of the time in the police station for russling!!!! but when i get out its easy pickings to nick any sheep on the green!!!
Is it really that great, Conty? If it is, I would love it for Christmas!!!
well my family love it but we do like a laugh and none of us are sore losers, i wouldn't like to play it with a salker as it can be frustrating when you've got your sheep nearly home and then someone nicks them he he
oh by the way ear plugs would of been a great addition to the game as sometimes the language can get a bit colourful too i love to pick on dad!!!
Cheapest ebay listing (and one of the only to have it in stock!):
Well, it's definato going on my Crimbo list!
Kieran, whilst I don't personally agree with that, just give the whistles a quick wash before each game, I do think it's a bit of a problem. My sister wouldn't play at first because of 'germs', and others would think that too I presume.
When it comes down to it though, they're not essential to the game and you could play without them - it would just be a lot less fun!
does no one kiss anymore? or is that germs too? i say get over it and have some fun!!!, or if your fussy and you dont use the whistles, you can puccer up those lips and whistle yourself
I agree, Conty! As Lauren Bacall said: "You know how to whistle, doncha? You just put your lips together and blow!"
And who knows, a sound might come out!
If Kieran is concerned about germs etc. there are plenty of anti-bacterial products on the market that might well do the trick. Just wash, rinse, DRY THOROUGHLY!
Well conty I read something a while back about a kiss that there was I believe over 250 bacteria in the average mouth
but bacteria are good as it builds up the resistance in your immune system.
Penicillin (anti biotic) came from mould.
While on holiday in Norway we visited a small place that would always get cut of by the snow (this was years ago before snow ploughs) and they had a special cheese that once it had grown a layer of mould it would be churned back in again this process was repeated about 7 times in all which gave a natural anti biotic effect.
I bet Wallace hasn't stumbled across this one yet.
how many germs but somehow i dont think thats gonna put me off kissing girls!!!!
I sure hope it would be avalible for USA Fans to order. Only problem is,say you have this bratty little brother who insists on blowing his Whistle all the time and in everyone's ears,just to annoy him. That BRAT deserves a TIME OUT!
the rules of the game is if you blow the whistle out of turn or at the wrong time, off to the police station for you and miss a turn!!!
Why have we all started going on about germs and kissing girls and things like that?!!!
Well,I've never played the game before so how am I supposed to know what the rules are.NYYYYYAAAAAAHHH!
argh every online shop that had it has sold out!!!
Will it come out in the USA because i really want to play it but i cant find it any where
Is it out in Scotland, anyone. I've been looking for it.
I'm still looking, folks, but there is one more place to try - by 'eck! This is worse than Yellow Pages and J R Hartley! ... however! I have found the origins of the Were-Rabbit in Medieval Stockport!
...and it's quite interesting!
Hi everyone, Corgi games online should still have copies left, check out: http://www.corgi.co.uk/CorgiSite/pages/product/product.asp?prod=WGBGF&ctlg=Corgi
Hey katie do you know if the bord game is comeing out in the USA?
Hey, Katie, has it been released in Scotland yet because I can't find it in my local shops like ASDA and other places!
Hi J-Snake, there has been no official release in the US yet, although Corgi can ship worldwide (see the URL below)
Mark the Shark - Fleeced only been released in a small selection of stores including Hamleys and Forbidden Planet, although we hope there will be a wider release in the new year. At the moment it is also being sold online at numerous stores (Amazon, Forbidden Planet, Collector Zone) although I think Corgi is the only one who has stocks left for Christmas:
Wow, thanks, Katie. That was a VERY fast reply! Katie, could you possibly answer my forum about CGI softwares in the Arts and Crafts one. Because that would be great!
Hello again, I'm not a CGI expert myself, but I'll ask someone in that department and see if they have any recommendations for you. I'll reply on your CGI thread when I find out
Thanks very much, Katie. You're a lot of help!
Ok thanks Katie
i got a copy of the fleeced game for christmas but it didn't have any instructions. does anyone know where i can get them. by the way i live in canada.
Wow, Canada. Anyway, go to the forum where you can download them. Katie says you can!
Seb Whats your avatar
One of Preston.
Indeed it is! A personal favourite picture of mine!
I was reading through this thread and noticed: 1. Josephine said she found the origins of the Were-Rabbit in Medieval Stockport! 2: No one asked her what she found, even though she indicated it was quite interesting! I suppose that all the people responding were staying on topic...which is more than OK. But please PLEASE tell us what you found out about the Were-Rabbit, Josephine! I'll be chuffed to mega mintball if you would!
Yes, I would be too!

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Young, fast, dead on target. Benjamin Weger, 22, Swiss. Profession: Biathlete, trusting the Atomic Featherlight, one of the lightest skis ever used in the Nordic World Cup. This weekend in Hochfilzen he made his way to the world's elite. Third in sprint, third in pursuit, only 4.9 seconds away from his first world cup victory – overall fifth in Biathlon World Cup!
Weger's way to the world's elite – the result of enthusiasm, performance and innovation! It is no coincidence that Benjamin Weger is an ATOMIC athlete. The athlete from Valais gained a Junior European Championships bronze medal and a Junior World Championships silver medal. In 2010, he decided to take a break from his studies and to fully focus on biathlon. His success, the result of his compassion: three World Cup podium places so far, two of them in Hochfilzen. "You don't succeed like this every day", Weger was very happy and promised, "I keep on working, because there is nothing better than pushing myself to my limits and getting over them. ATOMIC helps me doing so with the ingenious Featherlight construction." THE SECRET OF THE FEATHERLIGHT CONSTRUCTION The ATOMIC athletes Dominik Landertinger, Christoph Sumann and Benjamin Weger achieved a total of 6 top-7 results in Östersund and Hochfilzen. ATOMIC Nordic Director Roman Toferer is satisfied, "Every single test kilometer for the new Featherlight generation has paid off. The secrets of the construction are thousands of little combs of Nomex, a super-light and yet extremely resistant plastic material." The Featherlight story will continue this week at World Cup part 2 in Hochfilzen.

In the wake of the Winnenden school shootings earlier this year, German politicians are proposing a total ban on the production and distribution of violent video-games.
Such a link matches that made following the Columbine school shootings in the United States, where game development companies were subsequently sued by families of the victims.
The widespread public acceptance of this causal relationship mirrors the moral panic over so-called 'video-nasties' in the 1980s, famously but incorrectly implicated in the murder of toddler James Bulger.
These 'common-sense' attributions are based on Bandura's social learning theory, which suggests that children can be socialised to become violent simply through witnessing violent behaviour.
Despite numerous studies, however, there is a lack conclusive evidence to support such a connection in the case of violent video-games. Indeed, a recent European Union report suggests that rather than being universally harmful, such games may in fact actually be of benefit to children.
This corresponds with the conclusions of the Byron report, which was comissioned by the United Kingdom government in order to examine technological risks to children.

Here at Who What Wear headquarters, we always keep a vigilant watch on the footwear worn by the well-heeled Hollywood elite. While over-the-knee boots and ankle booties still rule for fancy, non-working nights out, fashionable celebs pick a more moderate style for their daytime activities. The favored selection-henceforth to be referred to as cropped boots-is invariably paired with a loosely tucked-in pair of deep blue or black skinny jeans, resulting in a perfectly undone, totally easy-going look.
While the way these ladies wear their cropped boots might not seem revolutionary, the subtle style tweak makes all the difference. Don't forget that up until recently, a casual boots-and-jeans look always required a pair of knee-high equestrian or vintage boots and some methodical denim tucking (one never wants to add bulk to ones calves). However, as witnessed on some of the savviest trendsetters, the cropped boot is fast replacing its taller counterpart.
As for why this look is dominating, well, we're not exactly sure. Maybe everyone loves cropped boots because they offer a weather-appropriate way to transition into a spring wardrobe? Or perhaps it's a time issue: who has the patience to zip, button or lace a boot all the way up, when you can just pull on a boot that is roomy enough to easily slip your skinnies into? Whatever the reason, we are quite taken with the look, and can't wait to showcase our favorite cropped boots, as seen on some of the most stylish tastemakers from coast to coast.
One of the most popular ways our trendsetters style their cropped boots is with menswear-inspired pieces. While running errands around Beverly Hills, Emma Roberts paired her Doc Marten 1460 Boots ($99.95) with Current/Elliott's The Legging Jean ($218) and Elizabeth and James' Double Breasted Blazer ($471). Kate Moss wore a shrunken schoolboy blazer with buckled boots while shopping in central London, while Agyness Deyn opted for a boyfriend jacket to create a strong T-shaped silhouette when picking up coffee in the East Village last week. Though neither of the Marc by Marc Jacobs' boots seen on Moss or Deyn are available for purchase, try BCBGirls' Herry Boots ($69) or Topshop's Aztec-Studded Ankle Boot ($160) to duplicate their utilitarian chic look. We are also keen on Nicky Hilton's military-esque boots, which looked smashing with her tucked-in Jet Trasher Skinny Jeans ($188) and leather moto jacket. Try Michael Kors' Mogul Boots ($399) for a similar effect.
Of course, some fashion-forward forces prefer to wear simpler styles. For example, Mary-Kate Olsen and Michelle Williams both opted for no-fuss flat boots to run errands in Manhattan and Brooklyn, respectively. Olsen may have paired a vintage embroidered poncho with Vivienne Westwood's AngloMania Boots, but we love DV by Dolce Vita'sKent Buckle Ankle Boots ($71) for a well-priced alternative. If you want Williams' carefree and casual look, slip on Free People's Landon Bootie ($118) and jaunt around your neighborhood in understated style.
In addition to biker buckles or simple slouchy models, many celebs are also going for boots embellished with studs, ruching and fringe for a decidedly hippie vibe. Rachel Bilson reached for a cropped boot with gathered leather details, much like Forever 21's Nadia Slouched Boots ($35). Sienna Miller selected a boot with metallic adornments to get a luxuriously boho look. The British beauty chose a pair of Strategia's Studded Buckle Suede Boots ($437), but we like Forever 21's Monet Studded Boot ($34.80) even more, considering the lower price point. Claudia Schiffer slipped her cobalt blue bottoms into a pair of fringed Minnetonka Moccasin Trampers ($55) which complimented her floral belle sleeve blouse beautifully. And there you have it: nine cropped boot examples, each one cooler than the last.-Kate Mulling

Upstate New York's Catskill Mountain Range is a bucolic place near and dear to my heart. It's where storybook character Rip Van Winkle enjoyed his legendary slumber, and its scenery hasn't changed much since he was born of Washington Irving's fertile imagination. Yet, like Van Winkle, if I'd fallen asleep for 20 years when first arriving in that verdant heaven, I, too, would have noticed some profound changes upon awakening.
About two decades ago, many rural Catskill teens — sons of farmers and hunters and fishermen — suddenly started donning baggy pants and reflecting "gangsta'" counter-culture despite living nowhere near any large urban center. The following generation of teens experienced today's recent cultural evolution and often sport multiple tattoos and body piercings despite living nowhere near NYC's grungy East Village. Yet I'm wrong in a sense: those places were actually very close — a television set away.
My old hinterland haunt was once a place where, if you wiggled the rabbit-ear antenna just right, you could pull in one or two TV stations. And what could you see? Perhaps reruns of The Brady Bunch, perhaps the news. But about a quarter century ago came VCRs and video stores; then cable and satellite TV; and, finally, the Internet. The serpent had entered Eden.
In the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy, much fire has been directed at gun advocates in general and the National Rifle Association in particular. In response, the organization has implicated Hollywood and popular culture in general for mainstreaming mindless violence. Yet even many Second Amendment advocates part company with the NRA on this point. After all, blaming entertainment for crime smacks of blaming guns. Yet there's quite a profound difference: guns don't transmit values. But how we use guns— and knives, fists and words — on screen certainly does.

A prothrombin time test measures how quickly your blood clots. Sometimes called a pro time test or PT test, a prothrombin time test uses a sample of your blood.
Prothrombin is a protein produced by your liver that helps your blood to clot. When you bleed, a series of chemicals (clotting factors) activate in a stepwise fashion. The end result is a clot which stops the bleeding. One step in the process is prothrombin turning into another protein called thrombin. The prothrombin time test measures how well the clotting process works and how long it takes to occur.
If you take a blood-thinning medication such as warfarin to prevent clots from forming, your doctor will recommend a prothrombin time test to monitor the medication's effectiveness. It can also be ordered to:
A variation of the prothrombin time test is part of a test series called model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) used to assess the severity and priority of people waiting for liver transplants.
If your doctor suspects you may have liver problems, you may undergo additional testing to assess the health of your liver, such as liver enzyme tests. If your doctor suspects you may have a bleeding disorder, you may undergo additional clotting-function tests.
A prothrombin time test is safe. Because the test involves drawing blood from a vein in your arm, you may experience soreness or bruising at the site from which your blood is drawn.
Prothrombin time testing is done using a blood sample. Usually, the blood is drawn through a small needle inserted into a vein in the bend of your arm. You'll be asked to roll up your shirt sleeve if you're wearing long sleeves. The person drawing the blood might tie a band around your upper arm and ask you to make a fist. This causes your vein to stick out more, making it easier to insert the needle. The needle is attached to a small tube, in which your blood is collected. All of this usually takes just a few minutes.
You may feel a quick pain as the needle is inserted and experience some short-term discomfort at the site after the needle is removed.
Once the needle is removed, you'll be given a piece of gauze and a bandage to cover the area where the needle was inserted. You'll be asked to gently apply pressure to the area for a minute or so, to help stop any bleeding.
Your blood will be sent to a laboratory for analysis. If the laboratory analysis is done on-site, you could have your test results within hours. If your doctor sends your blood to an off-site laboratory, it may take several days to receive the results.
Home testing kits are available for people who have to take blood thinners for long periods and who have been trained in taking blood samples and testing them.
Prothrombin time test results can be presented in two ways:
If your prothrombin time test reveals that your blood is clotting too slowly, this can be caused by:
If your prothrombin time test reveals that your blood is clotting too fast, this can be caused by:
