Poison Ivy, Oak & Sumac
Plants belonging to the genus Toxicodendron (literally, "poison tree") are found throughout North America. The miserable rash they cause is well known to many hikers, horseback riders, campers, and others who enjoy the outdoors. These plants are sometimes all loosely referred to as "poison ivy," but they are actually three distinct species: poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac.
The poison plants contain an oil that causes an allergic skin reaction. They grow in wooded areas all over the United States, with the exception of Alaska, Hawaii, and some parts of Nevada. The itchy and sometimes painful rash caused by contact with these plants occurs most often in the warmer months, but it is not limited to summer. If you spend time outdoors, get to know what these plants look like and how best to avoid them. Your outdoor time will be much more enjoyable if you also know how to treat the rash if it does occur.
How Do I Recognize the Poison Plants?
The saying "Leaves of three, let it be" is often used to describe the poison plants. This is a handy way to recognize poison ivy and poison oak, but it's better to memorize what these plants look like. Not all three-leaved plants are toxic. And some that are toxic have more than three leaves.
Poison Ivy. The Latin name for poison ivy is T. radicans. This hardy plant may grow as a vine that climbs on trees and other surfaces up to about 50 feet. It may also grow as a shrub about 4-5 feet high.
Poison ivy can grow in a variety of conditions. It especially likes sandy, stony, or rocky shores of streams, rivers, and lakes. It also sprouts in thickets, along the borders of woods, and in forest openings. Birds feed on the plant's fruit and spread its seeds in their droppings.
The leaves of poison ivy are usually arranged in groups of three, but they may also appear in fives or sevens. In each cluster, the middle leaf grows on a stalk that is much longer than those on the sides. The leaves in a cluster are usually fairly equal in size, from one-half inch to two inches long. Their edges may be slightly notched or smooth. They are shiny when young and turn a brilliant red in fall. The flowers of poison ivy are yellowish to greenish white, about one-quarter inch in diameter, and grow in clusters on a slender stem. Small, berry-like, whitish or greenish fruit, about one-sixth of an inch across, appears after the flowers have faded and are glossy and dry when ripe.
Poison Oak. As its name suggests, the leaves of T. diversilobum, or poison oak, are lobed like those of an oak tree. Poison oak leaves are a little larger than poison ivy's and grow in groups of three, five, or seven. The plant's flowers and fruit are similar to those of poison ivy. Also like poison ivy, poison oak may grow as a vine or a shrub up to 3 feet high. The leaves have short, smooth hair on the undersides, and berries are fuzzy and white. Poison oak loses its leaves in the winter, but the plant remains toxic in all seasons.
Poison Sumac. T. vernix, or poison sumac, is less widespread than poison ivy and poison oak. More common in the Midwest, poison sumac grows as tall as a tree or shrub with clusters of 7 to 13 leaves arranged in pairs with one leaf at the end. Its small, yellowish flowers grow in clusters and mature into whitish-green berries that hang in loose clusters up to 12 inches long. There is also a species of sumac that is not poisonous and has red berries. To be on the safe side, though, always assume that any plant resembling poison sumac is probably toxic.
What Causes the Rash?
Poison ivy, oak, and sumac all contain an oil called urushiol. This oil is not really a poison, but it is made up of chemicals that are powerful allergens (substances that cause an allergic reaction). In half to two-thirds of people, urushiol causes an allergic reaction known as contact dermatitis. The resulting rash consists of swollen, itchy, red bumps and blisters that appear wherever the oil has touched the skin.
Urushiol is present in the stems, leaves, and roots of the poison plants. The only parts of these plants that do not contain the oil are certain parts of the flower (the anther), the pollen, the outermost membrane of the stem and leaves (the epidermis), and a particular kind of tissue found inside the stem (xylem). For all practical purposes, though, it's best to consider all parts of these plants as able to cause the rash.
Urushiol is released when the epidermis of the plant is broken. Even the tiniest scrape or break in this membrane can release the oil. These plants are poisonous at all times of the year but are even more so in spring and summer, when the leaves are tender and bruise easily.
You don't have to touch these plants directly to get the rash. Urushiol is a sticky, long-lasting substance that can easily remain on your clothing and shoes. Dogs, cats, and horses can carry the oil on their coats and transfer it to your skin long after you've left the woods. Especially under dry conditions, the oil can retain its effects for a very long time. In one case, museum workers handling a 100-year-old specimen developed a rash from the oil! Smoke from the burning of these plants can also cause the rash and can affect the nose, throat, eyes, and lungs.
How and When Does the Rash Appear?
The rash from poison ivy, oak, and sumac usually appears within 24 to 48 hours after contact with the plant. In some cases, though, the rash may not appear for a few days afterward. The worst stage of the rash usually occurs within a week of exposure. Depending on how severe it is, the rash may take 2 or 3 weeks to heal.
The rash from these plants occurs most often on parts of the body where the skin is thinnest, like the wrists, ankles, neck, and face. At first the area may appear reddish, and you may feel a mild stinging or itching. Red bumps then appear, often in streaks or patches where you rubbed against the plant. Itching can become severe before the bumps turn into blisters. These may ooze a clear, yellowish fluid. The blisters begin to crust over and dry up as the rash subsides.
Can the Rash Spread?
The rash from poison plants is not "contagious." Only the oil itself can be spread to other parts of the body or to another person. Sometimes, after the rash has developed in one place on your body, it may seem to suddenly appear elsewhere. This fact leads many people to think that the rash can be spread by scratching or bathing, or by touching another person's rash. This is not true, however. The rash may take days to appear after contact with the plant, and your skin varies in thickness over different parts of your body. This is why all of the affected areas may not show the rash at the same time.
In fact, keeping the area of the rash clean with soap and water is a good way to help it heal faster. Neither the blisters themselves nor the fluid they secrete contain urushiol. Touching them will not spread the rash to a new location on either your own body or someone else's, unless urushiol is present on the skin. Still, it is best to avoid touching or scratching the rash.
How Do I Treat the Rash?
The best way to treat the rash is to catch it early. At the very first sign of a rash, or if you think that you have come in contact with one of these plants, wash the affected area with plain soap and cool water as soon as possible. Keep the area clean, cool, and dry as much as possible. And above all, don't scratch!
Most cases of poison ivy, oak, and sumac may be extremely uncomfortable but do not pose a serious health threat. Several types of over-the-counter medications can provide relief. Creams and ointments, such as Benadryl or hydrocortisone cream or Caladryl lotion, can soothe the itching. If you do use a cream or ointment, wash it off and dry the area before reapplying it. An oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl, can lessen the allergic symptoms. You can also soothe the itching by applying cool compresses or soaking the area in cool water with baking soda.
If the rash covers a large area of your body or is near your eyes, call your doctor. He or she may prescribe an oral corticosteroid to lessen the swelling and itching. There are also prescription creams and ointments that may provide relief.
Some persons may have a severe reaction to poison ivy, oak, or sumac, to the point where hospitalization is needed. If the rash covers more than one-quarter of your body, the allergens in the plant oil may cause a systemic reaction. Go to the emergency room of a hospital if you have any of the following symptoms along with a severe rash:
Fever, headache, or nausea
Trouble breathing or shortness of breath
Extremely sore or painful rash that interferes with normal activity
Swollen lymph nodes in your neck, under your arms, or in the groin
Blisters that continue to ooze after a few weeks
Preventing the Poison Plants' Effects
Prevention is the best way to avoid the effects of the poison plants. The first step is to learn what they look like at all seasons of the year in the area where you live. Pay attention to the plants around you when you are outside, especially in wooded or overgrown areas.
When you come in from your walk in the woods, wash your clothing in warm water. If you encountered the poison plants while outside, scrub off your boots or shoes before bringing them into the house. Remember, the oil from these plants can remain on surfaces for days or weeks.
If you find one of these plants in your yard, remove it with care. Wear long pants and sleeves, heavy work gloves, and closed shoes or boots. Pull or dig out the entire plant, making sure to get as much of the root as possible. Avoid touching any part of the plant, and keep children and pets out of the area until you are finished. Never burn the plants. Instead, place them in a heavy, tightly sealed plastic lawn bag and dispose of them.
If you think a pet has been near an area with poison ivy, oak, or sumac, bathe the animal in warm, soapy water. Wear long sleeves and rubber gloves to avoid getting the oil on your skin.
If you live in a rural area, you may be able to control the growth of poison ivy, oak, and sumac with livestock grazing. Goats and cows will eat these plants with no ill effects, but grazing needs to continue for several years to be effective.

Countdown in sight in Kourou : EGNOS GEO2 in the starting blocks !! Offentliggjort den: 18/03/2014, Seneste opdatering: 25/06/2015
On March 21st, a replenishment satellite for the EGNOS service will leave the European SpacePort of Kourou aboard an Ariane 5 launcher. This will ensure a next 15 years of uninterrupted EGNOS service above Europe.
The launch window will open at 10.05 PM (UTC) and close at 11.14 PM (UTC).
EGNOS, 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.
SBAS systems are designed to augment the navigation system constellation by broadcasting additional signals from geostationary (GEO) satellites; they provide differential correction messages and integrity data for the GPS satellites which are in the view of a network of monitoring stations, taking into account signal distortions provoked by factors like the ionosphere, and which could seriously impair the precision of the localisation (picture © Arianespace).
EGNOS is owned by the European Commission and was launched in 2009 to be part of the Galileo global satellite navigation system. The European Space Agency designed EGNOS under a delegation agreement with the Commission.
EGNOS is the first pan-European satellite navigation system. 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.
As from January 1st, 2014, EGNOS is operated by the European GNSS Agency (GSA) based in Prague.

Submission DHS chief: What we learned from Stuxnet->
angry tapir writes: "If there's a lesson to be learned from last year's Stuxnet worm, it's that the private sector needs to be able to respond quickly to cyber-emergencies, according to the head of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. When Stuxnet hit, the U.S. Deparment of Homeland security was sent scrambling to analyze the threat. Systems had to be flown in from Germany to the federal government's Idaho National Laboratory. In short order the worm was decoded, but for some time, many companies that owned Siemens equipment were left wondering what, if any measures, they should take to protect themselves from the new worm."

This letter is in regards to the editorial "Obama responsible for middle class shrinkage" by Howard Rich (Sun Advocate, Dec. 27, 2011).
The Tea Party is claiming they have an ultimatum with approximately 13 percent of the registered vote. It was actually the 40 percent of Americans that didn't vote that elected the Tea Party to congress.
Rich is trying to blame President Obama for the decline of the middle class. It was the Bush Administration that put the economy in the toilet. It was the lack of controls on Wall Street, the banks and big business that cause this recession.
Rich also claims that extending unemployment benefits is harming the middle class. Apparently his ilk wants the unemployed to underbid illegal aliens to get a job. Americans cannot live on those wages because they won't live with three or four families in one house like he would expect them to.
The Tea Party wants to privatize Social Security and Medicare, supposedly to save those programs. Private insurance administration costs are around 30 percent. Medicare's administration costs are around 5 percent. The reason? The government doesn't hire a team of lawyers to cheat people out of what they have coming to them.
I will have to admit I don't know much about socialism, but I do know that ultra-conservatives have labeled everything that benefits the common people as "creeping socialism."
In their way of thinking Social Security, Medicare, unemployment compensation, minimum wage laws, child labor laws environmental laws, etc. are all labeled as socialism.

Will Stephen Hill Step Into the Spotlight?
As if the Jets receiver corps wasn't threadbare enough already, this week the unit will be under stress again as two players won't be able to because of concissions — all the more reason the Jets brought in a player like Mardy Gilyard earlier this week. Still, Brian Costello writes for the Post that someone is going to have to step up .. so how about rookie receiver Stephen Hill?
This week, they most likely will not have Clyde Gates (concussion), and Jeremy Kerley (hamstring, heel) and Chaz Schilens (concussion) have missed practice time this week. That led coach Rex Ryan to call on rookie Stephen Hill to pick up the slack.
"He's basically just saying, 'Go out there and get the job done,'" Hill said. "That's been my motto the whole year. I haven't gotten certain things done, but definitely this is the week for me to come out and get the job done."
It's showtime for Hill. He's going to have less competition to make catches today and Mark Sanchez is playing for his viability as an NFL quarterback down the stretch. This would be a good time for both players to show what they are capable of.
"I don't think Stephen would tell you that he's to the point that we'd like him to be," offensive coordinator Tony Sparano said. "This guy, he has a ton of arrow-up upside. He's got all the athletic ability and he's got a tremendous work ethic and he's a smart kid, so those are all qualities that help you grow in our business. But I think Stephen would tell you the same thing. He has room to improve right now, certainly."
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comI liked the Hill draft pick and I still do, but the Jets are going to have to find a way to get him more involved in the offense in a way that fits Hill's skillset best.
A raw player like Stephen Hill is best used as a flyer and that's a skillset wholly unsuited to a quarterback like Mark Sanchez. Hill needs someone who can rifle the ball to him and let's be frank – that quarterback will never be Mark Sanchez. I'm not pleased with the progress from the rookie either, but at the same time Mark Sanchez might not be the best guy to work with a player of Hill's skillset – as we saw to great terribleness in the first matchup against the Patriots. This pass actually was one of the top five worst passes of the year according to Barnwell at Grantland.

WASHINGTON,D.C. (WUSA) - Yahoo's CEO took just two weeks of maternity leave and recently said caring for her newborn was easy. Andrea McCarren reports that her comments have drawn a surprisingly strong reaction.
Marisa Mayer, the CEO of Yahoo, took the helm of the Internet company when she was six months pregnant. As if that wasn't controversial enough, she took just two weeks of maternity leave and recently created a stir when she said caring for her newborn was "easy."
Andrea posted a Facebook item about Mayer's choice, and can't remember getting more Facebook posts on a story than this one.
A lot of you felt the way Maria does. She wrote:
"It helps when you have millions and probably an entourage of childcare or nannies."
But a lot of you agreed with Lorenza, who said "I thought the whole point of the feminist movement was to give women a CHOICE! She made hers!"
And Hilary added, "...women need to stop attacking other women so readily.
We also visited a local playground to hear from more of you.
"I think she only needs to be a role model to her kids." That's the take of Inga Robins-Burton, mother of 4 year-old Aiden.
" As you go up in the socio-economic ladder, you have a tendency to get further from family, from the traditional things, the maternal," Inga continued.
Larissa Gray said, " It's a lot of long nights, sleepless nights and everyone's involved."
Larissa is originally from Canada, where new mothers are granted a full year of maternity leave. Her son Liam is just three months old. "They sleep a lot, but not always when you want them to," she said.
"It's probably easy if you have someone helping. A night nurse or something like that." said Larissa.
None of the mothers at this Northwest Washington park begrudge the decisions of Yahoo's CEO, including Emily Jackson, mother of 2- year-old Ruby, and pregnant with her second child.
"My reaction is each to her own and more power to her. I certainly didn't consider taking care of a newborn easy. I think it's great if she feels that way," said Emily, who left her career as a social worker and has no regrets.
" I'm a stay at home mom, full-time and it definitely feels like it's full-time, 24/7, a lot of work, but I love it and as far as I'm concerned, it's the best job in the world. So, I'm quite happy with it," she said.
Staying at home, many mothers say, is a privilege. One that's not possible for everyone.
On Facebook, Janet wrote: "Because I needed to work and had no benefits, I returned to work less than a week after my fourth child was born.
And single mom Laurie said: "I returned to work after 9 days! I have a fantastic bond with my daughter... my body was ready."
Again, a lot of discussion on social media about this.
Julie wondered: "Did she feel pressured to return to work as a woman CEO?"
And Lindsay added, "There is no RIGHT WAY to be a Mom. As long as you provide your child with love and you try the best way you know how, you're doing a good job. I wish women would stop this."

- How to Read a Study Record
Hand or wrist surgery often requires the use of bony material in order to accomplish any associated reconstructive aspects required for the surgery. The iliac crest is often used as the source of bone for such surgery and harvesting from this site is performed simultaneously with the hand/wrist surgery. In terms of anesthesia, patients typically receive a supraclavicular nerve block for the hand/wrist surgery, and a general anesthestic for the bone graft, though spinal block may also be performed. This study will look at the use of a transversalis fascia plane (TFP) nerve block (ie, to numb the nerves going to the iliac crest) in combination with a general anesthetic to see if post-operative pain and opioid consumption is reduced using the TFP block.

Move over, Watson: Dr. Fill to take on top crossword puzzlers
EUGENE, Ore. - Move over, Watson: The crossword-solving computer program "Dr. Fill" will take on human competitors at the world's premier crossword puzzle tournament next month.
Matt Ginsberg of Eugene plans to take his creation to the 35th Annual American Crossword Puzzle Tournament to play against humans. It's the world's oldest and largest tournament, set for March 16-18 in Brooklyn, NY.
"I decided, well, if they're going to make such a big fuss about Jeopardy!," he said, "then I'm going to do crosswords which are actually harder and have real artificial intelligence inside and see how far I can go."
Ginsberg, who runs two software companies here in Eugene "On Time Systems" and "Green Driver," told KVAL News started building "Dr. Fill" a year ago.
But crosswords and computers have been a long-term interest for Ginsberg.
"It's a hobby," he said. "I'm a terrible solver, and this is my vengence on the crossword community. Dr. Fill is way better than I am."
So how does Dr. Fill work?
For starters, the doctor is not a male.
"It's an it," Ginsberg said. "It solves puzzles totally unlike how humans solve puzzles, and it's not a him.
"At first it looks at all the clues, and it tries to get some understanding of what the clues are about," he explained. "Unlike a person who actually understands the clues, Dr. Fill does some statistical analysis and says, oh this might mean whatever but it's really not terribly well-informed.
So to speak.
"I have a database of pretty much every crossword clue that's been used since around 1990. It's got the body of wikipedia so it looks in there just to see if something comes up, but not a whole lot, it's got a very careful list of words that are probably good crossword words," Ginsberg said. "It just tries to say well I've seen something like this before."
As a result, it can solve crossword puzzles in minutes.
But so can the top human solves.
Hence the trip to Brooklyn next month.
"Everybody's curious," he said of the crossword community. "I know if you go to the tournament this year and you beat Doctor Fill, you get a button saying I beat doctor fill."

Trinity Firefighting Competition
The Firefighting Robot competition is a Tabletop Robotics competition held each spring. The main competition is held each year at Trinity College in Connecticut, though there is a local version of the competition held at Penn State Abington.
Competition Overview
The Firefighting Robot Competition is a competition where small robots must navigate autonomously through a maze, locate a burning candle, extinguish it, and return to the starting point (though this last part is optional). The maze contains four "rooms", and the candle may be located in any of these rooms, in any corner, prior to deployment of the robot. The robot is placed at a predefined starting point, and must traverse the maze and try to locate the candle. Once the candle is located, the robot must move in and extinguish it, and then leave the room and return to the starting point of the maze.
Robots are judged based on several criterion. How quickly the robots are able to locate the candle, how many rooms they need to enter before they find the candle, how effectively they extinguish the candle, and whether or not the robot is able to return to the start of the maze are all taken into account.
Bonus points are given if the robot can accomplish extra tasks, such as starting with by a tone, or being able to traverse rough terrain (e.g.: Carpet).
Club Involvement
The Penn State Robotics Club sends 3 to 4 teams to compete in the Penn State Abington and Trinity Competition. The teams that do the best there are then offered the option of traveling to Connecticut for the Trinity contest.
Several past winners include Rambler. See Club Robots for past winners.
Club Approach
The club actively participates in this competition each year, submitting two to four of our best robots. Each robot either has a custom chasis, or derives from our PSRC-I generic chasis. Many different Sensors have to be combined, with the most important sensor being Light Detection.
Algorithms needed, as solving this maze is complicated, are outlined in our Wall Following and Maze Solving articles.
A good example of a successful design would be one of our 2010 submissions, named Twitcher.

take a look at information on parted for creating space on your drive(s).How would I do this, every install of RH has used the full 40 gig drive. There is a bunch of directories created
First I believe you need to have grub installed in the newly installed distro. If i remember correctly. But essentially your would just create an entry similar to your rh entry but just with the route to the root partition.Second how do I get it to understand the partitions in Grub? I assume I would just modify the RH grub to include say Mandy command lines as an option?
Someone here is bound to have such a set up and they should post their grub setup for you as an example.

Holiday party season is almost here, and it's only a matter of time before your social calendar starts filling up with family gatherings and work soirees. Don't panic about what to wear to all of these events because we've got your wardrobe covered. Over the next two months, we'll give you loads of outfit ideas and accessory suggestions for all your festive occasions, starting today with party clutches.
As you can imagine, there are an endless number of shapes and fanciful styles to choose from, which is why we've gone through and edited the vast selection down to our top seven. There's a clutch for everyone: sleek and sophisticated iterations for the refined partygoer, luxurious bejeweled versions for the fancy dresser, and a vibrant, embellished rendition for the fearless fashion girl. Enjoy!
The Inspiration
Your clutch shouldn't be an afterthought, but rather a piece that further articulates your look. Australian actress Bella Heathcote demonstrated this idea perfectly at the 16th Annual Hollywood Film Awards Gala in Beverly Hills last week when she teamed a one-of-a-kind lilac Gucci cocktail dress with a satin box clutch, also by said fashion house, in the same hue. The clutch's minimalist design doesn't compete with the frock-which, with its sheer panel and layered paillettes, is a statement piece in itself-but instead serves as an elegant addition. On the flip side, if you opt for an understated party outfit this season, a glitzy bag, like Elie Saab's Silver Suede and Crystal Evening Clutch ($975), will add a touch of glamour to your pared-down look.
1. Edie Parker Flavia Clutch ($1395, 212.753.7300) in Nude Pearlescent with Sand Confetti Geo
Trust us, an Edie Parker clutch is an investment piece you won't regret. Right now, we've got our eye on the pearlescent and glittery Flavia, mainly because the neutral color palette lends itself to a myriad of outfit options. Even better: it's equipped with a mirror inside, so you can check your makeup at a moment's notice. Don't want to spend quite so much? Try Topshop's Diamante Silver Box Clutch ($140) instead.
2. Zara Jeweled Box Clutch ($90)
We like to think of this jeweled clutch as the bag equivalent of a disco ball. Its shimmering exterior basically says, "Let's have fun tonight." Just be warned: the bag is so darling, you're sure to attract lots of attention while carrying it, so skip this style if you're shy.
3. Sondra Roberts Jewel Box Clutch ($200) in Black
The message for fall is loud and clear: get stoned! Gem-encrusted details, like this baroque-inspired, ornately decorated box clutch, will instantly upgrade your look. One styling note: keep your jewelry to a minimum-this bag will do all the talking.
4. Reiss Lucy Zip Top Panelled Clutch ($205)
If a compact shape with sparkly details is out of the question, something tells us you will enjoy the simplicity of this leather envelope style by Reiss. Its clean lines call for an equally streamlined look, while the stark white hue would make a striking contrast with a modern LBD.
5. Brian Atwood Octavia Clutch ($2995)
Adorned with bright, multicolored beads, Brian Atwood's Octavia Clutch has a cheerful, pop art vibe. While it could easily take center stage, we like the idea of playing up its eccentric look with an equally interesting frock. Additionally, we approve of ASOS' Beaded Iridescent Clutch ($62), which hits on the embellished trend too, albeit with a smaller price tag.
6. Juicy Couture Wild Ones Jade Clutch ($198)
A bag with lots of bells and whistles is great for certain occasions, but sometimes all you need is a sleek shape to accompany your look. That's why Juicy Couture's Wild Ones Jade Clutch made today's list. We love the subtle shimmer of this navy blue version, but it's also available in a beautiful pewter gray and of-the-moment cabernet, so be sure to check out those options too.
7. Stella McCartney Gold Square Evening Collection Clutch ($1995)
Black-tie gala, formal wedding, or an elegant holiday bash-this evening clutch suits them all, and more. Its chic look lies in the details; a rippled design offers texture, while a stone clasp makes for a luxurious finish. We also recommend Expressions NYC's Snake Embossed Box Clutch ($48) as a more wallet-friendly alternative.--Jessica Baker

Early December is the perfect time to see Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. That's why Brent Stettler, conservation outreach manager for the Division of Wildlife Resources, has chosen Dec. 3 as the date for this year's Bighorn Sheep Watch.
The cliff-edged corridor along the Green River is a great place to find wild sheep. Rams are wrapping up the last few weeks of their annual rut. It's the time of year when rams of equal size engage in head-butting, sparring, kicking and mounting to determine dominance for breeding rights.
"Full-blown head crashes are uncommon," says Brent Stettler, regional conservation outreach manager for the Division of Wildlife Resources, "but the gamut of courtship and breeding behaviors by the rams is fascinating to watch. Last year, we saw rams, ewes and lambs within 50 yards of our position."
The watch will be held in Green River. The event is free. Everyone is encouraged to participate. There will be no pre-registration. Just be on time.
When you come to the event, bring a pair of binoculars or a spotting scope along with snacks, drinks and a camera. If you don't have your own binoculars or a spotting scope, no problem-the biologists have extra spotting scopes and binoculars you can use.
Participants should meet on Saturday morning at 8 a.m. at the John Wesley Powell Museum in Green River. The museum is located at 1765 E. Main Street, and is most easily found by exiting I-70 at the second Green River exit and driving into town. DWR biologists will guide participants up the Green River corridor. "For those who have tried to find wild sheep, they know it's a very difficult thing to do. Having a biologist as a guide is a huge advantage," adds Stettler. "Our biologists have a lot of experience in finding sheep. If the bighorns are there, our biologists will find them." The field trip usually ends around noon, but those who drive their own vehicle may leave at any time.
The road the group will travel changes from asphalt to gravel and then to dirt. Depending on rain or snow, the road may be muddy and unsuitable for passenger cars. For that reason, the DWR will furnish two large passenger 4WD vehicles to provide participants with the opportunity to ride-share.
Because bighorn sheep are wild and unpredictable, Stettler can't guarantee you'll see sheep at close range, or even at all. "Even if we don't see sheep," Stettler says, "the beauty of the Green River should make the trip well worth your time."
For more information, contact Stettler at (435) 613-3707 or email@example.com.

IBERDROLA works to be an energy Company committed to ethics and respect for the environment as the foundation for a sense of belonging and for the trust of all persons and its various stakeholders. This is reflected in the Company's vision, which applies in full to the IBERDROLA Group:
"We aspire to be the preferred Global Energy Company because of our commitment to the creation of value, quality of life, the safety of people and of supply, the protection of the environment and customer focus".
IBERDROLA's vision, which brings together the economic, social and environmental aspects of sustainability, is based on six values representing firm commitments of the Company:
IBERDROLA is committed to the best corporate governance practices, to principles of business ethics, and to transparency in all of the Company's fields of endeavor.
IBERDROLA acts in furtherance of the corporate interest, understood as the common interest of all shareholders of an independent corporation (sociedad anónima) oriented towards the exploitation of its corporate purpose, pursuant to applicable law and the Corporate Governance System. The foregoing should not inhibit the consideration of the other public or private legitimate interests involved in the conduct of any business activity.
IBERDROLA is a Company that becomes involved in and learns from the cultural and social realities of the communities in which it has a presence.
The Corporate Governance System and responsible behavior by all those who form a part of IBERDROLA is an ever-present guideline for action, which constitutes one of the most distinctive features of IBERDROLA's personality.
IBERDROLA's commitment to achieve the growth and profitability objectives spelled out in the Company's Strategic Plan is the method to ensure the success of the corporate plan and to meet the demands and expectations of all groups involved in the present and the future of IBERDROLA; within the framework of a diversified Group, organized around the parent company and the various companies that lead each business and are subject to the Group's common policies, in the interest of IBERDROLA and of all the companies that form part thereof.
The focus on the development of clean energy and respect for the environment are some of the pillars of IBERDROLA's company model and the factors that distinguish our Group as one of the world's leading energy companies in the 21st century.
IBERDROLA strives to establish firm and permanent ties with its stakeholders, thus building a sense of belonging to an excellent Company, of which such stakeholders feel an integral part and in whose plan they feel involved.
By means of ongoing dialogue, IBERDROLA wants to be a company capable of inspiring trust among all those who participate in and deal with the Company.
IBERDROLA strives to offer its energy supply and to carry out the other activities undertaken by the Group within a safe and reliable environment. People's safety at the Group's facilities, in surrounding areas and among customers, as well as the development and dissemination across the entire Group of the best practices in the area of safety and prevention, are essential components of its processes.
IBERDROLA strives to know the needs and expectations of its customers, and seeks a continuous improvement of their level of satisfaction and their attachment to the Company. IBERDROLA's objective is to provide the highest service quality while complying with its regulatory obligations.
The commitments assumed by IBERDROLA in the Company's vision and values, far from being a mere statement of principles, apply to its daily practice and are part of the day-to-day management of the IBERDROLA Group in all its areas of activity.

Comments about Sound Percussion Labs SPA08 Bass Drum Practice Pad:
This practice pad is something I was looking forward to. I practice rudiments on my practice pad and wanted something for my ankle / leg. It does just that.
It's the best way to play without having to sit in front of your kit just trying to build up speed and muscle.
It dosent have a pure authentic feel to it though.
The biggest flaw is there's not enough weight holding down the pad. Although it doesnt slide with good uses of spike ( 3 total ) after hitting the pad it shakes back and forth which throws off any authentic feel a bass drum would offer.
Honestly it needs some kind of weight system to push the top of the pad straight into the ground. I've tried setting it up in different parts of my room and against different objects and even stuck two 10 lb weights on the side of the pad, but without nothing holding the top down, it still likes to shake. The bounce feels a bit fake as well. The pad feels like it's made out of a soft rubber and a harder material would help better.
Now I don't know how other practice pads feel for bass drum but this flaw is major and really hurts your practice.
That being said it still the best way to earn muscle strength, practice rudiments using feet, and good ole snare + bass exercises. Practicing snare rudiments are just as important as practicing with your feet, you don't want one to get too far ahead of the other.
My advice would be to check out some video reviews of the more expensive Pearl bass practice and see if it has this same issue. Than perhaps a cheaper pad would be a better investment. Also the head feels a bit too soft and offer an unauthentic bounce to it.
Overall verdict 6.5 / 10
- The soft rubber offer too much bounce
- The whole set up needs a weight on top to keep the pad still.
+ Good for muscle strength
+ Good for muscle memory
+ It's quieter than playing on your actual bass.
Honestly if you looking to buy snare + bass practice you might as well go with the DW Go Anywhere kit. It's a bit more money but it's all in one. That what I would do in hindsight

Comments about Sound Percussion Labs SPA08 Bass Drum Practice Pad:
Speed exercises, balance and control are just as vital for feet as for hands. Had the mini-rack Gibraltar practice pad setup, but it took too much room. Got this, a small snare stand and a snare pad to work on coordination and conditioning. Overall: good to great. Worth the $$ with a great pedal.
Comments about Sound Percussion Labs SPA08 Bass Drum Practice Pad:
Definitely recommended for someone looking for a relatively quiet and effective practice pad to improve pedal skills.
I have had this practice pad for about 4 weeks. At first, I didn't like the rebound of the pad - it reminded me of a bass drum with no hole in the front head.
I removed the padding inside the pad by removing the screws around the perimeter. This didn't really seem to help. So, I used a drill bit and drilled 4 vent holes (about a quarter inch each) in the back of the pad (plastic).
I reinserted the foam padding and reassembled. This has improved it considerably as it feels almost exactly like my kick drum.
It is not tuneable, so don't be fooled by the screws shown in the photos. These are just to hold things together.
I think this pad would work well for double pedals players also. It has good stability on a carpeted floor. I have all three spikes extended including the two on the bass drum pedal. So far it stays put. I don't think I crush my pedal while playing, but I use a moderate level of power.
Comments about Sound Percussion Labs SPA08 Bass Drum Practice Pad:
Great Value
I have always struggled to find good practice pads. Prior to purchasing this I use the old fashion white remo practice snare pad and mounted it to a snare stand. This was the closest feel I had found to a bass drum. I mainly purchased this primarily to only use the stand. When I received it I immediately put the remo pad on it and was pretty happy.
A couple of weeks ago I decided to try the pad that it came with and was pleasantly surprised. I couldn't believe how great it felt not to mention how quiet it is. I practice on a low end electric kit but hated the hi hat and bass drum pad it came with.
As for wear that some of the other reviews mention, its still new but looks like it should hold up.
"A pretty good buy for the $$$"
Comments about Sound Percussion Labs SPA08 Bass Drum Practice Pad:
I use this pad on a daily basis. It has held up great for the two years that I have owned it. The pad itself does start to exhibit some wear but I haven't really noticed any decrease in feel as a result. Bottomline, its cheap, it is a solid deal.
Comments about Sound Percussion Labs SPA08 Bass Drum Practice Pad:
I've two of these so I can practice my double bass. The feel of them aren't too good because you don't get that rebound like you do from a bass drum so it's hard to keep the double bass going.

If a left fielder is added, Davis could get a lot more starts at first base, further reducing Reynolds' at-bats. It's not like manager Buck Showalter can rotate players in the DH spot anymore.
The Orioles signed Betemit to a two-year deal with a vesting option. He's emerged as the regular third baseman. They like his versatility. He's not going anywhere.
Is Reynolds? Stay tuned.
Seems like a lot of the posters here guessed correctly when discussing which DH type bat would be the first one to go.

|'Dads rally past Sand Gnats, 6-1
|Written by Staff Reports
|Wednesday, 13 April 2011 06:14
The Hickory Crawdads erased a narrow deficit with six runs in the fourth inning and never looked back, cruising to the 6-1 victory against the Savannah Sand Gnats, before 777 fans at L.P. Frans Stadium on Tuesday night.For just the second time this season, the Crawdads (4-2) enabled their opponent to score first. Savannah (1-4) broke the scoreless tie with an RBI single by 1B Sam Honeck against starter RHP Roman Mendez (W, 1-0).
However, Hickory's offense systematically went to work in the bottom of the fourth, compiling six runs on four hits, five walks and one delayed double steal against the combined efforts of Savannah starter RHP Gonzalez Germen (L, 0-1) and reliever LHP Josh Edgin. With runners at the corners and one away, C Kellin Deglan lined an RBI single to right field to plate RF Jhonny Gomez and tie the game. LF Teodoro Martinez promptly followed with a two-run double to left-center, lifting the Crawdads ahead, 3-1.
Martinez moved to third on a ground out and was then joined on base when CF Jake Skole worked a walk. On the first pitch to DH Tomas Telis, Skole broke for second, attracting all of Savannah's attention away from Martinez, who was able to sneak home on the successful delayed double steal for the fourth run. Telis wasted no time plating Skole with an RBI single to right field. After consecutive walks to load the bases, 3B Christian Villanueva earned an RBI base on balls, forcing Telis in from third and capping the rally with the Crawdads ahead, 6-1.
Sand Gnats LHP Chase Hutchingson got out of the fourth and pitched the remainder of the game in scoreless fashion, while the Crawdads received scoreless work from RHP Braden Tullis (2 innings), RHP Joe Van Meter (1 inning) and RHP Ryan Rodebaugh (1 inning) to close out the victory.
NOTES: The Crawdads go for their third straight win against Savannah on Wednesday morning with a special 11 a.m. start time (gates open at 10 a.m.).

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
With the loss this week to ALA, a trip to the state tournament has pretty much turned into a long shot now.
On Wednesday the Dino soccer team lost 4-1 to ALA in a region match-up. Then on Friday afternoon they played Ben Lomond in a non region game and lost 6-2. With only region games left against Wasatch and Park City it is highly unlikely that they will get a shot at a play-in game this season.
On Wednesday ALA and Carbon squared off on the Dino field. ALA scored first with a pair of goals withing a few minutes of each other. The Dinos actually had more shots on goal in the half, but still had trouble hitting the net.
In the second period Carbon's K.J. Ericson did manage to get one in with a shot from 30 yards out that sailed in the top corner of the net. The game stayed 2-1 until the final 10 minutes when the Eagles punched in two more to finalize the win.
Friday's game was one scheduled earlier but was snowed out. Ben Lomond put in the first goal, but the Dinos quickly added one to tie it on a throw in from Paul Ramirez that sailed over the opponents to Tanner Gagnon. Gagnon headed the shot into the net.
Ben Lomond added one more at the end of the half and then another as the second period began. Gagnon found himself with the ball right after that and dribbled it up field past everyone and poked it in to make it 3-2.
Midway through the second half, Carbon ran out of gas and Ben Lomond turned it up and sent three more in to ice up the game. Carbon found their rhythm again and shut down the scoring barrage before any more damage was done.
"I wasn't disappointed in the play this week. We played really close against ALA even though the final score looks bad; we really stayed close most of the way." stated Coach Patrick Clifford.
"Ben Lomond is a well coached, very good team and we stayed with them most of the way except for that ten minute stretch. We have battled hard all year and even though I wish we would have had a few wins, we played hard. We do not have a very deep bench and that hurts us late in the games."
Carbon will wrap up their season with road games against Wasatch on Wednesday and Park City on Friday. They would have to win them both to get into the playoffs. It is not likely since those two teams are the region leaders.

Read: JT Miller WJC Tournament Review/How He Plays "The Right Way"
In the World Junior Championships, JT Miller had two goals and seven assists to finish in the top ten in tournament scoring.
After the game, Miller told Mike Morreale of NHL.com,"I started blacking out, my heart was pounding thru my chest; Don't think I've been happier in my whole life"
Following the Gold Medal game against Sweden, Chris Peters wrote at the United States of Hockey that Miller wanted redemption after the seventh place finish Team USA had in 2012. He added that after a slow start to the tournament, Miller was "excellent" at the end of the tournament.
In his wrap up of the entire tournament, Peters wrote that Miller simplified his game after some early tournament struggles and started playing to his strengths. Those strengths, Peters says, are his vision, size and skill and his play in the second half of the tournament showed a glimpse of the kind of player he will be when he reaches the NHL.
Grant Sonier of ESPN Insider, writes that Miller is the kind of player that all winning teams need. He says that Miller played a big part as a defensive forward for Team USA and most importantly, he is "the type who will give his body up for the cause."

By DANIEL CROSSLEYSenior Vice CommanderUtah Veterans of Foreign Wars
Congress just set out on a difficult but important mission. The Senate just held its first hearing ever on the asbestos litigation crisis. As it continues to consider this issue, the lives and well being of thousands hang in the balance.
By all accounts, the hearing room was packed with business lobbyists, as a panel of attorneys argued over the merits of reforming the current system. It's no wonder that businessmen and lawyers are leading the charge. It's been reported that litigation over asbestos could cost the American economy more than $200 billion.
But they're not the ones who have the biggest stake in reforming this system. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), the Chairman of the committee holding the hearing, did the right thing by declaring that any solution should, first and foremost, help victims of asbestos exposure. Thankfully, Senator Leahy also pointed out that our nation's veterans are suffering from asbestos exposure
This is important because, of the thousands of victims who need help, many are America's veterans.
For decades, from before World War II through Vietnam, the United States Navy required that asbestos be installed on its ships as a fire retardant and an insulator. While the men who served on these ships served bravely against enemy forces, many never had a chance against asbestos.
Now, veterans are sick and dying from diseases like mesothelioma and asbestosis, which are only caused by asbestos exposure. They need help fighting these diseases. But they're not getting much help at all.
In theory, veterans can turn to the Department of Veterans Affairs or the courts for help. Unfortunately, neither seems up to the task. The VA is bad, but the courts have failed completely.
Put simply, sick and dying victims have to wait too long for too little.
Concerned about asbestos litigation, Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist convened a panel, which found that because there are so many asbestos claims, suits can take nearly twice as long to process as other liability suits. In fact, many victims actually die before there cases are completed.
His panel also found that victims often receive just 37 cents for every dollar they are awarded. The rest goes to lawyers and administrative fees.
It's a good thing Senator Leahy and the Judiciary Committee he leads are looking into this problem. Our own Senator Orrin Hatch also serves on the committee. Veterans and other victims clearly need help now. Figuring out how make this happen won't be easy, but that's what our elected representatives are supposed to do - find solutions to tough problems.
As they look for solutions, they shouldn't overlook the role the government played in causing this epidemic. Soldiers, sailors, and marines were exposed to asbestos because the government mandated its use. Of course, the government wasn't alone.
I guess in some ways, the problem isn't that tough. If you contributed to the problem, whether you're a corporation or the U.S. government, you should contribute to the solution. Everyone should pay their fair share to help those who are suffering today.
