Location: Molecular Characterization of Foodborne Pathogens
2012 Annual Report
2: Conduct functional and molecular characterization of Campylobacter species with specific emphasis on responses to intrinsic and extrinsic stresses through genomic and proteomic studies, and examination of morphological and physiological changes. 2A: Determine the "mode of action" by which polyphosphates (extrinsic stress) enhance the survival of C. jejuni and C. coli strains. 2B: Use genomic and/or proteomic studies to molecularly characterize Campylobacter's physiological response to food additives under poultry processing conditions. 2C: Determine if members of the microbial ecology of chicken exudates provide survival advantages/disadvantages to Campylobacter. 2D: Determine if common food additives change the composition of the microbial ecology of chicken exudate and if these changes are responsible for enhancing the survival of Campylobacter under food processing and storage conditions.
3: Conduct functional and molecular characterization of Listeria monocytogenes serotypes with specific emphasis on elucidating responses to food-related stresses through proteomics and genomics; and determining virulence differences among L. monocytogenes serotypes through sequencing and comparative genomics. 3A: Determine genes that are essential for the survival and growth of L. monocytogenes under weak organic acid conditions. 3B: Determine genetic responses of a pressure-resistant L. monocytogenes mutant exposed to the food preservative nisin. 3C: Determine genes responsible for the differences in virulence and stress responses among L. monocytogenes serotypes through sequencing, gene expression, and comparative genomics.

Star Sport
Race begins for JAAA presidency
Raymond Graham, Star Writer
The next executive body to marshall the country's track and field for the next four years will be elected today at the annual general meeting of the Jamaica Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA) at the National Arena, starting at 5:30 p.m.
More than 370 delegates are eligible to vote in what is expected to be a tension-filled National Arena, as incumbent Dr Warren Blake and his executive will be under pressure to continue at the helm.
Blake will be challenged by former JAAA first vice-president Lincoln Eatmon and Olympian Grace Jackson, who is hoping to create history by becoming the first female to head the JAAA.
Delegates are expected to turn out in large numbers as Blake, who took over the reins following the sudden death of former president - the charismatic Howard Aris - a year ago, has come under severe pressure because of his leadership style, with him being accused of being too laid-back.
Only recently, in interviews on television and radio, one of Blake's executive members, vice-president Donald Quarrie, blasted the president for what he termed "lack of vision" and vowed not to support him at today's election.
Interestingly, the Olympian was removed from Blake's slate for the election. Quarrie accused Blake of removing him because Racers Track Club president Glen Mills said if he was on Blake's team his club would not offer its support at the election.
One man expected to come under pressure will be treasurer Ludlow Watts, who was the manager of the Jamaica team to the Olympic Games in London. Last March, a letter from Blake to Watts was leaked to the media. It inquired why Watts did not inform about critical information surrounding the JAAA, and requested answers.
Watts will be challenged by the veteran Bernard Panton from the Eatmon slate, who has served the JAAA in this capacity during the leadership of Adrian Wallace and Patrick Anderson. Joseph Taff will vie for this post on the Jackson ticket.
Although Jackson is well respected in Jamaica and the world in the sport, it looks a two-way fight for the top post between Blake and Eatmon, as both teams have strong candidates and it should be a close fight.
Unlike previous years when voters go for an entire slate, word on the road is they will not be going this route this time as there are excellent individuals on all three slates.

A comment in the snakebite thread about being bitten by a venomous snake and trying to be found by just "one person", for hope of being rescued, got me wondering..Have you ever come across someone in desperate need of help? If so, how did you handle it?Have you ever been helped by a stranger?What would you do if you stumbled onto someone seriously injured, and you're many miles from any form of help?
Edited by ardavis324 on 05/15/2014 22:08:47 MDT.
"What would you do if you stumbled onto someone seriously injured, and you're many miles from any form of help?"I honestly have no idea. I don't even know CPR. Or carry S&R gadgets, GPS thingies, et cetera.Are you drawing ethical conclusions, or is that just my conscience? :)With minor injuries or non-backcountry events that a lot of people would "freak out" about, I've always been calm, though. So maybe that would be my one contribution. Keeping the person calm, while keeping it to myself that I have no idea how to get you out of this.
I don't know anything about treating wounds, bites, fractures. On that event I suppose i'll just walk towards civilization for help, leaving the injured as stable as possible and with water/food/shelter.

You'll learn a lot, and have a great weekend or three!I just did a SOLO course, and recommend it. I'm sure others do equally well ( or maybe even better?) but can only speak to SOLO - very satisfied.
ahhh... SOLO is the provider who taught your WFR course.I thought for a moment that SOLO was a WRF course for folks who hiked Solo. Alas...
...but once my mother's Christmas sweater caught on fire in the kitchen and I tackled her with the giant blanket I'd been using on the couch. I was only about 13, so my only real recollection now is of how quickly the flames had spread on the coarse outside of the sweater. But amazingly, she was completely fine. Likely the flames grow larger each year in my memory.
I was getting down to a beach with my best friend from about 50 feet up with one sketchy area.You had to slide down 6-8 feet and come to rest on a 12 X 6 inch flat spot.Another 4-5 feet down was a 2 X 1 foot spot (where I was).My friend went to slide down to the small spot above me.He completely missed and rolled down the hill with his back side crashing into me.I don't even know how I was able to stop him, but he wouldn't have stopped himself.Below us was a 30 foot ledge going down at an 80 degree angle with chair size boulders. Death or serious disfigurement would have been very likely.There was an easy path down from there, but not in the direction he was falling.

I once ran into what I can only assume is the Chupa Cabra while on a recon patrol in Panama. I'm sure if I hadn't screamed like a 9 y/o girl, we would have all been goners. No medal from that incident funny enough.
"I'm sure if I hadn't screamed like a 9 y/o girl, we would have all been goners."Lol - that's great.
When I was around 20 I saved a friend from a possible drowning in a high Sierra glacial lake. He could swim, but I wouldn't say he's the best swimmer....not a lot of experience in water.He dove in head first off a large rock, putting himself easily 30 feet from shore when he surfaced. He was so shocked from the cold (nobody tested the water first) that he completely seized up, lost it, and was having trouble breathing. I could see the panic in his eyes as he started thrashing, struggling to keep his head above water, choking and coughing. When I dove in to get him, he immediately started to grasp and claw for my neck and shoulders he was in such a panic. I was able to get behind him and swim him in while I had him in a headlock.Drowning people are scary. They're more than happy to use you in any way they can to stay afloat, even if it means drowning you.
I was a crisis intervention volunteer in the early 1970's. We worked though a social service agency serving teenagers and young adults doing outreach for drug overdoses and bad trips, suicides, run-aways, child abuse issues, etc. There was one overdose that was scary. With the rest, I should have been scared but was young enough to think I was invincible. I've attended to a couple broken shoulders/arms and some cuts, and doled out some moleskin and band-aids.How did I handle it? If I'm not the victim, there's no need for ME to be upset! Training helps too I think. Keep them from bleeding to death, keep their airway clear, treat for shock, re-assure them, and be the rational one rather than adding to the mess. They would be in a lot worse shape if no one was there. I've had a stranger give me a ride to help with a broken down car. I've never needed more than that. "What would you do if you stumbled onto someone seriously injured, and you're many miles from any form of help?"Stabilize them and go for help. One of my backcountry disaster scenarios concerns that subject. I would leave them with whatever water, food and shelter I could muster and head out with a water bottle and my own essentials in pockets or pack. It is entirely possible for the "rescuer" to become another victim, particularly if you are hiking in the dark to go for help, or you turn an ankle in your haste, etc, so I think it is a good idea to have the classic essentials on your person while going for help. All the classic backcountry horror stories are a cascading chain of screw-ups, so you need to make sure you don't add to the disaster. Be prepared and keep your head. I don't think there is much more you can do. Of course you would have to evaluate the particular situation, like how busy the trail is, the availability of communications, severity and type of injury, etc.
Edited by dwambaugh on 05/16/2014 10:34:13 MDT.
Yes,I have. You keep your head and deal with the situation. The more first aid and emergency training,the better.
+1 to Dale and some others. I always planned to stabilize the victim as much as I could and then prepare to hike out. Fortunately, here in the SE you aren't more than a days hike from cell service usually. Also, I did save my daughter from drowning one time when she was really young. Ryan
While backpacking, high winds came up and snapped the 20' stump of a tree, which was limbless, and about 30" in diameter. As it rolled downhill toward us my friend slipped and fell. I picked her up by her pack and kept running. A two year old in a pool slipped through a float ring and went to the bottom. I dove in and brought her up.An 8 year old broke through the ice on a pond. I stopped the car, ran across a field, broke through the ice, waded in, hauled her out, drove to her home, carried her to the front door, and told her Mom - "Into the tub, Right Now".Three guys were caught in an avalanche. We saved two.I don't think there is any way to prepare for stuff like this. You just do it.

About six years ago a friend and I went offroading into the desert on a trail that sees next to no use. We climbed to the top of a pass and took in the view for a few minutes while we ate our lunch. Down in the valley I noticed movement and pulled out some binoculars to see what it was. There was a teenage boy limping and moving very slowly down a wash with no backpack or supplies. It took about fifteen minutes but we were able to catch up with him and chat. It was immediately apparent that the boy, probably 16 or 17 old, was both mentally and physically disabled, dehydrated and unaware of the situation he was in being many many miles from people and disoriented. Turns out he thought it was a good idea to leave his family and just start hiking up into the mountains. He had spent a night on a mountain alone and cold and had no food or water. We gave him food and water and were eventually were able to reunite him with his family who were extremely thankful. With no water he wouldn't have lasted another day in the desert heat.
I just came off the lift at Snoqualmie Pass here in the Seattle area. A skier was screaming for help and i skied down to assist. His friend went head first in an inbound tree well. He said his friends legs were kicking at first, but had since gone limp. Another skier showed up and we hand dug like madmen. We exposed his legs and waist, we tried lifting but no movement. We exposed to his mid stomach and lifted again. This time he moved so we continued lifting and got him out. Within those 5 minutes we had 30 people around us that I hadnt noticed. The ski patrol was there and took him away. I have no idea wjat happened to the young man.
Edited by HairlessApe on 05/16/2014 15:55:55 MDT.
I saw a small non swimmer get pushed into the deep end of a camp pool. He sank like a rock. I wasn't the lifeguard but I just lay down by the pool, caught his arm and pulled him out. The lifegaurd didn't know anything was happening till it was over. All because a counselor AND a lifeguard didn't make their kids obey the pool rules. I found it hard to say nice things about those two after that.
I was hiking towards Hannegan Pass in the North Cascades in the mid-1960's when I encountered an hysterical young woman at a snow finger/avalanche track that was crossing the trail. Her boyfriend had attempted to cross the snow while wearing tennis shoes, lost traction and slid about 400' down the snow into a tangle of avalanche debris. I worked my way down to him with the woman following. He was unconscious and doubled over butt first into a space between two logs. He was having extreme difficulty breathing and, in my experience as a former Army medic, was near death unless he could be removed from his trap. With a down coat as an improvised neck collar and the woman holding his neck straight we extracted him from between the logs and laid him out on a level area where his breathing immediately improved. I wrote a note describing the injuries and situation and had the woman get to the ranger station and to summon rescue while I stayed behind to support him. Help arrived in about five hours and the young man was transported to a hospital in Bellingham. He lived but was partially parylized below the waist; I heard later that he recovered a lot of leg function over time. I'm certain that I saved his life.About nine months later his parents sued me claiming that his paralysis was a result of my moving him from the log pile. The suit was later dismissed as being without merit. I was out $2000 in legal fees and learned far more about the Washington Good Samaritan law than I cared to know. The young woman involved gave a deposition supporting my actions as did the rescue people which helped a lot. Still, the whole thing left a sour taste. Would I do it again? Yeah, but this time I would better document the steps I took and the reasons behind them. Hindsight is great.

I have never helped someone who was critically injured or ill. I have plucked a kid off the rocks at the ocean, after he had to ditch his boat in high winds and was trying to make his way back to town following the shoreline and he was bouldering across a cliff face above the ocean. That probably would not have ended well. I've helped other people many times when out 4-wheeling or snowmobiling, some with injuries, but nothing where they were in imminent danger of death but possibly where they would have been screwed if we hadn't come along.I would definitely stop and help someone who was injured/ill in the backcountry. My PLB's registration even makes note of that, I mention in it that I will activate it for another person and so they should not assume that the injured/ill party is me. I actually believe it's more likely to be somebody else because I'm extremely conservative and safety conscious on my trip planning. I would like to get training as a wilderness first responder so that I would be more able to help in backcountry emergencies.

My post One Day in Paris began maybe a very interesting for me category in this blog -one day trips. Often, it's difficult to find much time for travel. It can be about the everyday duties, or money, or other reasons. From other side, there are places you would like to visit because they are legends, a kind of "must do" in the modern culture but in the reality they are not so interesting or important as the legends want to make us to believe. A city like Paris require a life, probably, to visit and to learn everything it offers. The little medieval southern towns and villages are beautiful, but you need not more than 2-3 hours to visit them.
I just wrote that I wanted to visit Sicily. First of all -Messina and Reggio di Calabria. This specific interest comes from my studies of the medieval Salerno and characters bounded to it. Sicilia was a part of the Normann kingdom in the times of Robert Guiscard. His brother, Rogger (Roger I DE HAUTEVILLE Conte di Sicilia.), conquested it (1061 Messina) and was it's governor -formally vassal of own grand brother- till his death in 1101.
The Dom of Messina was built by Rogger. A story of great love between him and his first wife adds a veil of romanticism to the idea of this new discovery. No, I'm not sure that Judith joined him exactly in this part of Sicily but the marriadge was celebrated on Nov.1, 1061 and it makes this assumption relatively truthful.
Why I tell you all this in a post about the ways to come and to explore a certain place? I think, such stories give a kind of a magnifying glass to the trips. I don't like meaningless collection of the places that one has visited. I know persons that travel every time they can. But the only thing they take from all these visits are the words "I was there and there and there". One blogger that I know writes about the ports of call he visited during his cruises and the only phrase he could write about Messina:" it's a place where there is nothing to see. If you do not leave the ship, you lose nothing there." He visited this town 10 times and did not find anything worth to see there.
I opened the map of the town and, except Dom, found an Aquarium, a Zoological museum. There are Caravaggio works in local Regional museum: fled from Rome after, wounded in his forehead, he killed a man, Caravaggio came in Messina. His feelings in that difficult moment of his life are in these pictures and there is even a "frontwounded" character there (there is, I controlled 😉 ). Ah, the names of the pictures are "Shepherds' adoration of the Christ Child" and "Resurrection of Lazarus".
Well, I think, I could explain the idea. The good trip is a trip when I discover something interesting, important, significant, when I find proofs of what I learned before.
Now, is such trip possible?
Book your flight, hotel, vacation in Italy
I found that it's very comfortable to come directly in Messina from Salerno (23:26 -5:15). With the ticket that costs from euro 28! (there are different possibilities). Coming in Messina at 5 in the morning is possible to take a bus or a train to go to Taormina at 6 or 7 arriving at 8 (both bus and train take more than an hour). Two-three hours in Taormina are enough for a round tour. I did not find a possibility to visit Etna ma you can see it from the town, they say.
Confront Hotels in Messina area
Than, I turn back to Messina for a round tour there, too. I think, I have to take a bus or a train at 11:40/56 in Taormina and arrive in Messina at 13:05 (train). After it, I have to take a ferry at 16, arrive in Reggio Calabria about 17 and take my train to turn home at 20:40. So, I have about 3 hours for a visit in every of these towns. All the trip has to cost about 100 euros (tickets). Look for your Hotel in Reggio Calabria

Mafalda Cartoon Basics
Mafalda was invented by Joaquín Salvador Lavado, aka Quino. Quino designed the Mafalda cartoon to appeal to girls and other children of all ages. He accomplished this by making the Mafalda cartoon look pretty generic looking in terms of kids from Latin America, and make her mischievous, something that all kids of a certain age are attracted to. The Mafalda cartoon gets into all kids of zany and wacky trouble, but always manages to find her way out of the problem and back to the good side of the adults around her. She was invented in the 1960s, and has been pretty popular ever since. The Mafalda cartoon is a mainstay in her native Argentina, but is also popular in other countries such as Chile, Paraguay, Venezuela, and other Spanish-speaking Latin American places. She is not as popular in Brazil, because Brazilians speak Portuguese. The Mafalda cartoon, however, has been translated into many languages such as English, French, and Italian.
The Mafalda cartoon likes to think of herself as having a big brain. In reality, her brain does not even exist because she is a cartoon character. Also, any brain that does exist is obscured by the huge mop of hair the Mafalda cartoon has. See the picture on the right of Mafalda. Doesn't it look like her hair is actually two big shaggy dog ears attached to her head, held in place with the white bow? That's what it looks like to us.
Developing the Mafalda Cartoon
The Mafalda cartoon was based on the comic strip Peanuts, by Charles Schultz. Quino wanted the Mafalda cartoon to be a girl in order to empower young women and in order to increase readership by appealing to a larger portion of kids, thus increasing his fame and earnings. We think the Mafalda cartoon would be great pals with Charlie Brown, but that Lucy would soon cut her down to size.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Many on the First Coast said they're still undecided about whether or not the U.S. should get involved in Syria.
Michael Phillips is a veteran. He said the military should strike Syria.
"If I had to vote, being a vet, I'd say go," said Phillips.
He said there should be a strike because people are getting hurt, and President Obama said there would be consequences if Syria crossed the "red line."
"I think he ought to stand his ground -- I think if he didn't stand his ground, then they're going to think the US is being pushed over," said Phillips.
Not everyone agrees. Bill White has done a lot of research of possible military action.
"I don't see any overwhelming reason for the US to get involved in essentially what is a civil war," he said.
No matter what the right decision is, White said it's critical lawmakers take their time before voting on what to do.
" ... We're talking about essentially committing an act of war, that's pretty important," White said.

You are the best death metal band I've ever heard. I was amazed of keyboard solo in the song Till the End of Eternity, guitar solo in beginning of Drained and ending of My Inner Beast. You guys definitely has a talent! This calm and soulful digressions make me shudder from rapture. I want a little more of such things. It is worth mentioning your deep, profound lyrics, shrewd and rousing vocal. I wish you creative inspiration and future fulfillments. All the best from Ukraine!
Posted by: Mattias on the 30. May 2012
Sad to see that the band is on hold. Still think Fragments of a Withered Dream is one of the best albums ive ever heard. Not saying that the follow up releases are bad because they are not. But not as good as that one. Hope you can find time and inspiration (and more bandmembers i guess) to make a similar one.

Experts: Duo a 'win' for al-Qaeda
Posted By kurtnimmoadmin On June 28, 2013 @ 4:17 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,War on Terror | Comments Disabled

June 28, 2013
Accused terrorist brothers Dzhokhar and the slain Tamerlan Tsarnaev were textbook examples of the lone wolves that al-Qaeda seeks to inspire, and have to be counted as a victory for the Islamic jihadi movement, security experts said about the detailed evidence trail laid out in Dzhokhar's 30-count federal indictment.
The 74-page document lists a series of Muslim extremist texts that Dzhokhar, 19, downloaded to his computer, as well as a terrorist's do-it-yourself bomb-making guide published by the al-Qaeda online magazine "Inspire."
"They put all this stuff online to inspire people to action," said John Pike of GlobalSecurity.org, about al-Qaeda's longstanding strategy of inspiring individuals worldwide to launch attacks of their own. "It makes it difficult to track who is doing what. Whereas if they try to organize something like Sept. 11, they get caught."

Abstract. There has been increased attention to the development of measures for assessing mathematical skill and knowledge in young children. Most of the evidence supporting these measures is consistent with Stage 1 research in the development of progress monitoring measures (Fuchs, 2004) and consists of investigation of technical features of performance at one point in time. The purpose of the current study was to move into Stage 2 research and examine sensitivity to growth over time of the Preschool Numeracy Indicators (PNIs; Floyd, Hojnoski, & Key, 2006) in a sample of Head Start preschoolers through a longitudinal design. Results indicated the PNI Oral Counting Fluency, One-to- One Correspondence Counting Fluency, Number Naming Fluency, and Quantity Comparison Fluency task scores are sensitive to growth over time and provide preliminary support for the promise of such measures in assessing early mathematical skill development. Consideration is given to implications for assessing early mathematical skill development in the context of general outcome measurement.

There are two types of BPAL collectors.
Hardcores who think the gold is in the general catalog and fan girls, like myself, that love the LE Collections and releases.
I've been collecting BPAL for too many years to count and I've always had a very mushy, smushy, gooey place in my heart for their LE items.

PRC releases nursing licensure exams results-A A +A
Thursday, January 16, 2014
MANILA (Updated)-- The country will have almost 11 thousand new registered nurses as the Professional Regulatory Board (PRC) released the December 2013 Nursing Licensure Exams result on Wednesday afternoon.
Three out of every ten examinees passed the boards or 10,977 out of 35,475 from all over the country.
Repeaters who took the exam were around 21 thousand while the first timers were at 14 thousand.
Repeaters who passed the exam were only three thousand while the rest of the thousand thousand passers were first time takers.
Kristine Joie Danan from the New Era University and Nikko Martel Viray Dio of the Pamantasang Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) made it to the top with an average score of 86.20. (List of board passers A-M, N-Z)
Marco Antonio Sto Tomas, PRC Board of Nursing member advised the aspiring nurses to take the exam immediately after graduating so that learning from the academe and from the review centers will remain fresh.
The top performing schools with 50 or more exam takers were the University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao where 67 out of 68 passed, followed by Xavier University, Mariano Marcos State University in Batac, Ilocos Norte, Saint Paul University-Iloilo, Remedios Romualdez Medical Foundation, PLM, Saint Paul University Tuguegarao, Saint Mary's University and San Pedro College in Davao City.
However, the PRC said all successful candidates in the examination will be required to take an oath of professional before the Board or any government official authorized to administer oaths prior to entering upon the nursing practice.
According to the board, compared to the previous number examinees, number of exam takers this year decreased. On July 8, 2013, 37,887 took the NLE while 49,066 took the exam on December 2012.
"Pababa na ang mga nagte-take ng exam. Parang sa economics, bumababa na din kasi ang demand, hindi na katulad dati na maraming nurses ang kailangan," Sto Tomas said.
As of now, Sto Tomas said there are more than 221,000 unemployed nurses in the country.
Meanwhile, a swarm of happy new registered nurses flooded the Twitterverse with status updates regarding the PRC release.
That license is for the Glory of God!

Smog inspections are generally required during a vehicle's initial registration in California and once, every two years, thereafter. This inspection cycle will continue for as long as the vehicle is registered in this State.
The Smog Check Program applies to 1976 and newer passenger vehicles and trucks powered singly or in combination by:
Smog Inspections are also required anytime a vehicle is sold or bought in California. During a title transfer the Department of Motor Vehicles will not allow a vehicle to be registered unless it is presented with a valid smog certificate. There are special testing procedures for vehicles, which are classified as "Gross Polluters". These include Test Only and State Referee inspections. If your vehicle requires a Test Only or Referee inspection, your DMV paperwork will advise you of it. Prepare your smog check checklist ahead of time.
4 Yrs & Newer Exempt - Smog check exemption includes gasoline powered motor vehicles 4 or less model years old, unless ARB (Air Resource Board) determines that including the 5th and 6th model-year vehicles in the exemption would prohibit the state from meeting the requirements of the federal Clean Air Act. This smog exemption does not apply to diesel powered vehicles.
1975 & Older Exempt - Under the old smog laws, 1975 and subsequent model year vehicles became exempt from Smog Check when they turned 30 years old. A 1976 model year vehicle was exempt in 2005, a 1977 in 2006, etc. Under the new law... commenced April 1, 2005, exempt from smog check requirements are any motor vehicle manufactured prior to the 1976 model year. All vehicles 1976 and newer vehicles will be tested according to state emission law. This law repeals the 30-year rolling exemption.
Also Exempt: Also exempt from the State of California Smog Check program are:

Knoxville News-Sentinel (Tennessee)
HOOVER, Ala. — Repeat after me: CFP. CFP. CFP.
The BCS is dead. Long live the CFP.
On a Monday evening, Jan. 12, 2015, in Arlington, Texas, some college football team will hoist the CFP trophy for the first time.
If, as Florida defensive lineman Dante Fowler confessed Monday, you hadn't heard, the College Football Playoff era begins in 2014.
It replaces the Bowl Championship Series era, inaugurated by Tennessee's 1998 national title and put to bed after Florida State ended the SEC's seven-year reign last January.
The CFP trophy was unveiled this week. Bill Hancock, CFP executive director, revealed Wednesday at SEC Football Media Days that a comprehensive hoist embargo is in effect until the winning team gets to do so on the field.
The trophy is no crystal football. It's rather simple, a 26-inch gold and bronze column that has been compared to both an ice-cream cone and a beer tap.
The process of getting two teams to Texas on Jan. 12 is anything but - despite what Hancock says.
"The format is very simple," he said during a session dubbed CFP 101. "It's symmetrical. It's really beautiful.
"The committee will select the best four teams, period, no strings attached."
Wait a minute. Did he say committee?
Forget simple.
Let me pass along the Cliffs Notes on CFP 101.
A 13-member committee will meet weekly the final seven weeks of the season to select the four semifinalists, who will be announced Dec. 7.
Six bowls - Rose, Sugar, Fiesta, Orange, Peach, Cotton - are in a rotation to host the semifinals. The survivors then meet for the CFP national championship.
The Sugar and Rose get the 2014 semis to set up the title game in Arlington. The other four bowls will be assigned teams by the committee. Two future sites are set. The 2015 title will be decided in Phoenix, 2016 in Tampa Bay.
"It's a quality attempt," said LSU coach Les Miles, sizing up the new format.
Bottom line, the championship participants will be in the hands of a committee, not the polls or computers.
The meat of the committee includes five athletic directors, one from each of the power conferences. There's a retired Air Force general and a former sportswriter (Steve Wieberg, USA Today). Archie Manning and Tom Osborne are nice touches.
Then there's Condoleezza Rice, the former secretary of state.
Rice's inclusion bothers me, and not because she isn't capable. She's too capable. Shouldn't she be tackling world peace instead of Wisconsin's strength of schedule?
An eight-team playoff had fans. The four-team version - locked in for 12 years - prevailed to best preserve both the relevance of the regular season and the bowl agenda.
The promise of no strings attached is key for a league of the SEC's gravity. If Alabama, Auburn and Georgia are in the top four on Dec. 7, they're all in the semifinals.
"If a rematch happens," said Hancock. "So be it."
If, say, Florida and LSU have already played regular season and again in the SEC title game, so be that, too. Play again.
"You could have the two best teams in the nation playing each other for the conference championship," said Missouri center Evan Boehm. "Now they can both have a shot at going to the national championship. That's pretty cool."
Not so cool will be finishing fifth in the CFP rankings. If the system was in place last year, that's exactly where Missouri would have been.
So on Dec. 7, some team will be fifth, left out of the party. Let the moaning and debating begin.
But, of course, it won't be beginning on Dec. 7. It has been ever present, no matter the initials or the format.
"We like how popular this game is," Hancock said. "The debate comes with the popularity and we wouldn't have it any other way."

The Vaccine Debate Like Never Before
One of the greatest truth documentaries of the decade.
The Greater Good is free to watch in full until Wednesday, November 9th because it's Mercola.com's Vaccine Awareness Week.
The Greater Good looks behind the fear, hype and politics that polarize people into emotionally charged pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine camps with no room for middle ground. Exploring the cultural intersection where parenting meets modern medicine and individual rights collide with politics, this character driven documentary weaves together the stories of three families whose lives have been forever changed by vaccination. By reframing the vaccine debate and offering, for the first time, the opportunity to have a rational and scientific discussion on how to create a safer and more effective vaccine program in America today, The Greater Good challenges viewers to think again.
My mom and I watched it and I would recommend every person in the USA watch this, especially parents. It is a bit hard to sit through at times, but worth it.

Sooo glad I got to watch this! Very eye-opening. I've forwarded it on to many.
Thanks Cindy! I love the direction they are going in with screening children for sensitivities and making vaccines safer.
Spread it around!
UPDATE: they have extended the free viewing until November 9th!
[…] […]
[…] year millions of vaccines are given. Some people have an immediate reaction following the injection and others have frequent […]
Thank you for your feedback. I am going to quote my girlfriend Melina because her response to the film is very touche!
"I watched that movie today. It was pretty good. I think it's sort of like
the business of being born (that movie by ricki lake) in that it's very
emotionally charged and it's goal is to get you to agree. I think the
main points are pretty clear: Vaccines are not 100 percent safe, The FDA
should not be allowed to fast track untested vaccines, the state should
not have to mandate that people get vaccinated.
I'm down with that. But I still think we can't forget that Polio is
horrendous and herd immunity is very important. I think the Hep B
vaccine is unnecessary. I also think the Flu vaccine does more harm than
good (I've never had it). But I think I will vaccinate my kids against
some of the other stuff.
I like where their going with researching different children's sensitivity to vaccines and their
ability to detoxify the heavy metals. I think that's probably a better
direction to go in. To polarize and say that vaccines are 100 percent bad
would be really stupid. But to conclude that they are indeed unsafe for
certain children? Well, I can get on board with that. I'm not saying
that they don't have long-term effects for everyone. I'll bet my
sensory/information processing problems are related to heavy drugs that
were put in my system at the wrong time. I mean, look at babies born
addicted to crack: They can have long-term probs even after they are
detoxed. But I digress. Really, I think if anyone expects to provide
their kids with a 100 percent toxin/risk free life, they're living in a

The best Birkie ever
Dedicated to Bob and Carol Harrsch
Thursday, May 09, 2013 9:04 PM
The following events happened in order at the Best Birkie Ever:
• Broken pole early in the Powerlines;
• Yelled at by my fellow Birkie Fever suffering skiers for overly splayed skis while trying to ski up the Powerlines with one pole;
• Yelled at several times as a "cheater" by for running up and down the Powerlines after being yelled at for overly splayed skis. (Have you ever tried running in the soft snow along the ungroomed edge of the Birkie trail, wearing ski boots while carrying skis and one unbroken pole? It sure didn't feel like cheating.);
• Had to wait more than five minutes, until the next wave approached and passed, for an elderly gentleman volunteer at the Powerline aid station to return with a replacement ski pole;
• Continued with the replacement pole which turned out to be several centimeters shorter and a few pounds heavier than my unbroken pole;
• Stabbed in the thigh by a fellow skier's errant carbide tip, drawing blood;
• Had a binding flipped open by an errant ski basket, releasing my left ski into a crowd of volunteers at a feed station. (Darn thing, all on its own, skied the slight downhill straighter and a lot faster without me.);
• Caught a ski tip on the orange mesh along Main Street 20 or so yards from the finish;
• Finished slower than any other Birkie, before or since, by over 35 minutes.
The good cause
So why was this the best Birkie ever? Because Bob was there with his wife, Carol.
Bob and Carol Harrsch were the parents of Rob, a friend of mine who I met in eighth grade. By the late 1980s, Carol's macular degeneration had advanced to the point where she could no longer drive. Their home on Lake Windigo, seven miles south of Hayward, had to be rigged with special aids to help her live day to day.
In the Summer of 1993, while we relaxed on the porch overlooking the beautiful lake she loved but could no longer see very well, Carol spoke the following words I'll never forget: "It's like watching yourself go blind."
Her words inspired me to work with Carol to raise money for the Deicke Center in Wheaton, Illinois, a clinic that specialized in macular degeneration research as well as developing gizmos to help those afflicted make with limited central vision.
With the help of my buddies in the legal and ski communities, Carol and I raised over $6,500 in pledges. All I had to do was finish the 1994 Birkie filled with the calamities outlined above; calamities that paled in comparison to what Carol and other sufferers of macular degeneration have to cope with every day.
Carol was at the finish line that Birkie day along with my wife, my friend Rob and his wife, and Erik and Emily, grandchildren of Bob and Carol. But also at the finish line was Bob Harrsch, who perhaps hated cross-country skiing only a little less than standing out in the cold waiting for his son's friend to finish 31 miles of cross-country skiing.
The war hero
Here's the thing about Bob. He was one of those exceptional young men who, as World War II involved the United States, became a First Sergeant in the Army, 463rd Anti-Aircraft Artillery, 79th Infantry. He suffered a serious back injury while training during a blackout in the Mojave Desert and could have been discharged, but instead insisted on rejoining his men. He witnessed a neighboring Liberty ship destroyed by a U-boat's torpedo during transport to Europe. He landed on Utah Beach during D-Day operations, marched through Europe and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. He was one of the troops who helped liberate a concentration camp near Rheims, France. He led his men in their advance that was ahead of General Patton's advance, shooting down enemy warplanes so they couldn't attack the Allied ground troops, and his unit was the first to shoot down a jet.
When he returned home, there was no ticker-tape parade as has been often depicted on old news reels. But there was opportunity with the GI Bill. And there was Carol, whom he married and lived happily with until she passed the day before the 2004 Seeley Hills Classic.
The Nazis couldn't kill Bob. Neither could heart-valve replacement surgery. A stroke, three carotid artery surgeries and a coronary bypass couldn't do him in either. However, at the age of 92 and a half, Bob Harrsch died on July 22, 2013, in his beloved home on the shores of Windigo Lake.
By 1994, I knew Bob had a respected military history, but I never knew how well-respected until 2008. My wife is a court reporter official, and court reporter associations are involved in veteran history preservation through the Library of Congress. On January 12, 2008, I sat down with Bob and his eldest daughter, Maryalice McHugh, and together we interviewed Bob, recording his words for about two hours for my wife to transpose later into a transcript to be sent on to the Library of Congress.
While I have given you an outline of what he did in the Army, you just can't get the feeling and the sense of a veteran's experiences until you sit and listen to his or her words. For example, Bob's anger was palpable at the mention of Holocaust deniers ("I was there. You don't forget the sight, the smell," he said.) And his compassion for his men was so heartfelt as he recollected who had died and who still lived.
What is a Birkie race to a man like Bob Harrsch? Perhaps he thought we were all nuts. What he didn't think was crazy was any and all efforts to help his wife and other sufferers of macular degeneration, even with the assistance of a man in lime green Lycra tights.
I'll miss Bob and his immense collection of John Wayne movies. And I'll always admire his family for the support they showed each other. Maryalice, for example, provided Bob with the compassionate care he needed to spend his final days in his beloved Hayward home among family.
If someone like First Sgt. Bob Harrsch thought the 1994 Birkie was particularly special, who the heck am I to argue?
You're a good man, Bob Harrsch.

Jimmy Carter should remember the Christian requirement to show charity in thought, word, and deed. Speaking cruelly of a dead man is particularly nasty, and he should be ashamed of himself for doing it. As for conservative feminists, well...feminists should be ashamed that they have become so weak that even conservatives can appropriate the word "feminist," and few people see how awful that is. With the socially conservative views the Teabaggers hold, it shouldn't be possible for a right-winger to call herself a feminist without TRUE feminists howling--but not a word comes from the Old Guard. Perhaps feminism really is dead. Damn.September 19 2010 at 1:04 PM Report abuse Permalink -16 rate up rate down Reply

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (AP) - The percentage of jobless in Florida stands at 8.6 percent for a second straight month.
The recently reorganized and newly named Department of Economic Opportunity said Friday the seasonally adjusted rate for June remained unchanged from the May figure and that nearly 800,000 Floridians remain jobless.
Republican Gov. Rick Scott has made creating jobs the centerpiece of his administration. Scott campaigned on a pledge to create 700,000 new jobs in seven years. Although the rate has dropped since Scott became governor, state economists sayFlorida's unemployment rate has improved largely because people have left the work force, not because they are finding jobs.
Scott argues the state's dropping unemployment rate is because of changes he has been pushing such as removing regulations he believes deter creating jobs.

Ohio Wesleyan to Hold 2007 Economic Outlook Conference
February 6, 2007
Three economics experts — including Ohio Wesleyan University alumnus and CNBC guest analyst Andrew B. Busch, will ponder this puzzle during the university's fourth annual Economic Outlook Conference. The event will be held at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 26, in the university's Chappelear Drama Center, 45 Rowland Ave. It is free and open to the public.
In addition to Busch, a 1983 Ohio Wesleyan alumnus, the panel also will include Mark S. Sniderman and Philip A. Voelker.
Andrew B. Busch, MBA, is the director of BMO Capital Markets and a global foreign exchange strategist. He advises institutional and large corporations on foreign exchange hedging and trading strategies. Busch is a recognized expert on world financial markets and how these markets are impacted by political events. A frequent face in the media, he appears at 4:15 p.m. EST every Friday on CNBC's "Closing Bell" with Maria Bartiromo.
Mark S. Sniderman, Ph.D., is the senior vice president and director of research for the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. His responsibilities include directing the economic and monetary policy analysis of the bank and overseeing the production of research publications. He also serves on the Senior Management Committee and the Credit Risk Committee. Sniderman currently serves as an advisor to a number of government and nonprofit organizations on the topics of education and economic development.
Philip A. Voelker is the chief investment officer for Dublin, Ohio-based Advanced Asset Management Advisors, Inc., with $375 million under management. Voelker has spent the last 31 years managing securities portfolios with objectives ranging from short-term cash management to aggressive equity and venture capital investing. Unlike many generalists, his investment background is unique, having gained specialized portfolio management experience in each strategy.
The Economic Outlook Conference is co-sponsored by the Ohio Wesleyan Department of Economics and the Woltemade Center. During the conference, each panelist will speak for approximately 15 minutes and then respond to questions and comments from the audience. Robert Gitter, Ph.D., professor of economics and coordinator of the conference, will serve as its moderator.
