Out of the Woods — 2007
A Bird Watcher's Year
By Ora E. Anderson
Edited by Deborah Griffith
Illustrated by Julie Zickefoose
Foreword by Jean Andrews
Ora was inducted into the Ohio Natural Resources Hall of Fame in late 2006. This is the state's highest conservation honor.
"Reading this book makes me regret that I never had an opportunity to know Ora Anderson in person.... I would have liked him very much and I think most readers will share this view."
Ohioana Quarterly
"Attention readers! Before you crack open Out of the Woods: A Bird Watcher's Year, you might want to go ahead and lace up your hiking boots and dust off your binoculars. Once you dip into this pool of essays, you're going to want to be prepared to strike out on your own adventures in nature."
Northwest Ohio History
"Anderson left a passionate love letter to Mother Nature and these Appalachian hills in the just-published book, Out of the Woods: A Bird Watcher's Year."
Huntington Herald-Dispatch
Out of the Woods: A Bird Watcher's Year is a journey through the seasons and a joyous celebration of growing old. In fifty-nine essays and poems, Ora E. Anderson, birder, bird carver, naturalist, and nature writer, reveals the insights and recollections of a keen-eyed observer of nature, both human and avian. The essays follow the rivers and creeks, the highways and little-known byways of Appalachia, and along the way we become nearly as familiar with its numerous bird, plant, and animal species as with the author himself.
These are not the memories of a single year, however, but of a long lifetime spent immersed in the natural world. Out of the Woods, presented with humor and passion, is an account of a well-lived, productive, and satisfying life. The essays offer an intimate portrait of a half century of Anderson's life on his beloved old farm (more nearly a nature preserve), where he lived in harmony with birds and nature and followed the rhythm of the seasons. We are invited to share the joys—and the disappointments and sorrows—inherent in such a life.
Generously illustrated with Julie Zickefoose's detailed and evocative drawings, this book will delight bird watchers, artists, naturalists, backyard gardeners, and anyone who is ever tempted to take a rutted, overgrown path just to see where it leads.
Ora E. Anderson was a journalist, conservationist, naturalist, and artist. He was named Honorary Life Trustee of the Ohio chapter of The Nature Conservancy and in 2006 he was inducted into the Ohio Natural Resources Hall of Fame. He was the recipient of the Ohio Arts Council Governor's Award for Arts in 1999. He passed away in August 2006 at the age of ninety-four.
Deborah Griffith is managing editor of Bird Watcher's Digest and other publications from BWD Press.

NORMAN — Thomas Lott and Trevor Knight have a lot in common.
Both grew up in the Alamo's shadow. Both became Oklahoma's starting quarterback in their second year on campus, the season after a longtime, record setting field general's eligibility ran out. Both were flashy playmakers with their feet and won the job over more-experienced juniors.

Fantasy Source will keep you up-to-date with the fantasy football impacts of the latest skill-position player moves this offseason. Check back often for the latest fantasy football news and analysis.
MORE FANTASY: Join Fantasy Source Football | Join Fantasy Source Baseball
Bills acquire WR Mike Williams. Buffalo sent a sixth-round draft pick to the Buccaneers for the troubled receiver, who was recently stabbed in the leg by his brother. The low trade value and the sibling assault both say a lot about Williams' upside and character. He'll be nothing but a bench flier with an unproven QB in EJ Manuel while competing for targets with Stevie Johnson (if he stays in Buffalo) and Robert Woods in an offense that should run the ball. It's worth noting Williams is from Buffalo and reunites with Doug Marrone, who coached him at Syracuse in 2009 ... before Williams quit the team.
Ravens sign TE Owen Daniels. Baltimore inked Ol' Dirty to a one-year deal, reuniting him with new OC and former Texans head coach Gary Kubiak. His arrival is a minor concern for breakout candidate Dennis Pitta, but Daniels is 32 and extremely injury-prone, so Pitta will dominate TE targets one way or another.
Redskins sign WR DeSean Jackson. The Redskins land a dangerous deep threat for Robert Griffin III and a potentially perfect complement opposite Pierre Garcon. While we preferred Jackson in Philadelphia's system, particularly because he was the Eagles' No. 1 option, he'll still have plenty of value in Washington. Jackson remains a big-play, boom-or-bust receiver, though. Right now we'll call him a high-end WR2 with a high probability of posting WR1 stats in any given week.
RB LeGarrette Blount signs with Steelers. Blount's road takes him to Pittsburgh where Le'Veon Bell is in front of him on the depth chart, at least according to Steelers' head coach Mike Tomlin. Bell is a far more versatile back than Blount, since Bell can catch the ball, but Blount is still a good short-yardage option so don't be surprised if he steals at least some goal-line work. On the other hand, don't discount Blount out entirely from a bigger role eventually- Bell averaged just 3.5 YPC last year. Right now Blount is a handcuff, but one Bell owners should defintely target.
RB Darren McFadden resigns with Raiders, RB Maurice Jones-Drew signs with Raiders. Leaving Jacksonville for Oakland isn't exactly an upgrade for the 29 year old back, who still have McFadden in town. Choosing between McFadden and Jones-Drew will come down to which running back stays healthy. Jones-Drew played in 15 games last season, but his yards per carry dipped below 4.0 for the first time in his eight-year career. The Raiders brought McFadden back on a one-year deal earlier in the free-agency period. Consider McFadden the tentative starter, but his value is already about as low as a potential starting running back's can be.
RB Knowshon Moreno signs with Dolphins. Moreno stayed relatively healthy in 2013 and was very productive. Despite that, Denver didn't want him back. The good news for Moreno is that injuries and ineffectiveness have left him with much less wear on his tires than most running backs who hit free agency. The bad news is he won't see as many soft fronts in Miami as he did in Denver. But Moreno should be the lead guy in Miami. Dynasty owners who were holding out hope for Lamar Miller are, at least for now, out of luck.
QB Matt Schaub traded to the Raiders. Schaub lands in a decent situation for him. And by that, we mean for his real-life starting prospects. His fantasy value is pretty much in the toilet anyway and it's not much better in Oakland. He downgrades from having Andre Johnson, DeAndre Hopkins and Arian Foster to having James Jones, Darren McFadden and Denarius Moore. Schaub has no value in single quarterback leagues and is near the bottom of the barrel in two-quarterback leagues.
WR James Jones signs with the Raiders. It's not that wide receivers outside of Green Bay are incapable of functioning. It just seems like they end up choosing some of the worst quarterback situations in the league. Jones will probably be top dog in Oakland, but it's hard to like him going forward as even a reliable WR3.
WR Emmanuel Sanders signs with Broncos. Sanders' fantasy value is going to sky-rocket as a result now that's working with Peyton Manning. Sanders, however, had just a 59.7 catch percentage working with Ben Roethlisberger. He'll be the fourth option in a profitable offense, but there's a risk of overdraft.
WR Brandon LaFell signs with the Patriots. New England continues it's arms race with Denver, and LaFell averaged 14.3 yards per catch in four years with Carolina. He'll be perceived as a deep threat with Tom Brady, but keep in mind LaFell averages just five catches of 25 yards or more per season. He still must prove it to fantasy owners.
RB Ben Tate signs with Browns. Tate has missed seven games the past two years, mostly because of hamstring, foot and rib problems. He'll still be injury-prone in Cleveland, but he should be the unquestioned lead back. The Browns averaged 4.0 yards per carry last year (just below Houston's 4.2 ypc), but that was with a stable of uninspiring backs. Tate has never averaged fewer than 4.3 yards per carry in his career. He has a lot to prove, but he'll likely get plenty of chances, making him a solid RB2 heading into next season.
WR Julian Edelman resigns with Patriots. Edelman broke out with 105 receptions, 1,056 yards and six TDs, becoming Tom Brady's go-to receiver in the process. His numbers could be affected if Rob Gronkowski and Danny Amendola are healthy for the entire season, but we all know that's not going to happen. There's no reason to think Edelman won't be a PPR monster and standard-league WR2/3 again next season.
WR Steve Smith signs with Ravens. Smith, who will turn 35 in May, took a step back last year, but the messy ending to his Carolina career might have rejuvenated him. At the very least, you know he'll show up for one game -- the Panthers visit to M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. It's tough to say how much Smith has left, as his yards per catch dropped from 16.1 in 2012 to 11.6 last year, but he made several big plays in key moments. Consistency was a big issue, though. Now in Baltimore, he'll form a nice "inside-outside" combo with Torrey Smith, and both have the potential to be low-end, every-week starters, like Torrey and Anquan Boldin were a couple years ago. However, if you're counting on Steve Smith being anything more than a WR3 -- save for that one week against Carolina -- you're probably asking for too much.
WR Hakeem Nicks signs with Colts. When the Panthers let Smith go, most thought they'd bring Nicks back to his hometown. Nope. Instead, Nicks went to Indianapolis, where he'll become an interesting bounce-back candidate. To put it mildly, Nicks has disappointed the past two years, culminating with his TD-less season in 2013. Nagging injuries have been part of the problem for the 26-year-old receiver, but those aren't going away with a move to the Midwest. Regardless, the Colts have a more efficient passing attack than the Giants, and Nicks should face favorable coverage opposite Reggie Wayne and T.Y. Hilton. This could be his last chance at a big contract, so he'll have a lot to play for. Consider him a mid-to-late-round flier.
WR Eric Decker signs with Jets. For all the questions of how good Decker is, he almost certainly is better than the current crop of Jets receivers, giving New York an actual downfield weapon in the passing game. Unfortunately for Decker, he loses Peyton Manning. Decker's value drops from a sure-fire WR2 to a borderline WR3, at best. His stock will depend heavily on the Jets' QB situation. ...
QB Michael Vick signs with Jets. Vick and Decker will help improve a stagnant Jets offense, but the main concern, as always, is Vick's health. If/when he gets hurt, Decker's fantasy value will plummet. Considering the injury risk and so-so supporting cast, Vick is no more than a backup fantasy QB. He's also no lock to beat out Geno Smith for the starting job.
RB Darren Sproles traded to Eagles. There will be some question as to whether Sproles will steal carries from LeSean McCoy, but don't bet on it happening enough to lessen Shady's value. As for Sproles, he landed in the best possible place given Chip Kelly's offense, but it's hard to view him as anything more than a complementary player in Philadelphia. His fantasy value may get a bit of a reprieve, but it shouldn't given his age and poor production last year. He's a late-round flier who may see mid-round love this summer.
RB Rashad Jennings signs with Giants. Free-agent Andre Brown appears to be on his way out of town, and David Wilson's prospects have taken a hit due to surgery to fuse vertebrae in his neck. Wilson is expected to be ready for camp, but his status is anything but certain. Enter Jennings, who salvaged his career last season in Oakland, rushing for 733 yards at 4.5 yards a pop. Jennings is far from a sure thing -- he struggled in 2012 and Wilson, a former first-round pick, could vie for carries -- but he'll be a major part of a Giants backfield that will need to be watched by fantasy owners in training camp.
WR Golden Tate signs with Lions. Tate goes into a solid situation in Detroit, where he will play second fiddle to Calvin Johnson. That's okay, though – the yards will be there since the Lions pass more than enough to carry two fantasy options. Going to Detroit is probably best for Tate's fantasy value, as he would have been miscast as a No. 1 receiver. He will be a WR3 for fantasy purposes.
RB Toby Gerhart signs with Jaguars. Gerhart has shown promise in the past and will now get his chance to be the lead guy in Jacksonville. However, playing on one of the least-talented units in the league, Gerhart figures to be one of the last starting running backs taken. He'ss at best an RB2 for fantasy purposes. Fortunately, he doesn't have much competition for carries. Right now, Jordan Todman and Denard Robinson are the only other options for the Jaguars.
RB Ahmad Bradshaw resigns with Colts. Bradshaw will be coming off neck surgery, but the Colts backfield is a mess with Trent Richardson's lack of development and the departure of Donald Brown. Bradshaw is an injury risk, but he could snatch a lead role at times next season. Still, there's no reason to invest heavily in him.
RB Donald Brown signs with Chargers. This was an odd place for Brown to land after salvaging his career last season in Indianapolis. The Bolts already have a resurgent Ryan Mathews and Danny Woodhead, so Brown will have to battle for carries. He'll mix into the rotation, likely replacing another Brown, Ronnie, but Donald is likely no more than a Mathews handcuff.
WR Miles Austin released by Cowboys. Austin's release makes Terrance Williams a guy to watch this year in Dallas. Move the second-year receiver up your draft boards, and consider hima WR3 unless Dallas brings in competition.
QB Josh McCown signs with Buccaneers. Coach Lovie Smith has already indicated that McCown will be the starter over Mike Glennon next season. While McCown is a great story, fantasy owners shouldn't expect much going from one of the best offensive minds in the game to someone who specializes in defense.

East German agency spied on Cardinal Ratzinger
Catholic World News - September 14, 2011
The Stasi, the notorious secret service of East Germany under Communist rule, compiled a dossier of "several hundred pages" on Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger.
The Stasi began taking an interest in the future Pontiff in 1974, when he visited East Germany as a priest and theology professor. The agency assigned a number of different spies to collect information for years, but apparently uncovered no information that was useful to the Communist government.

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- The U.S. Postal Service is raising the price of stamps by three-cents, from 46 to 49-cents, beginning on Sunday.
The hike is the largest increase on consumer postage prices in more than a decade.
It will affect millions of people, even though fewer Americans these days use snail mail to pay bills and keep in touch.
The hike comes after the agency's regulator gave the green light back in December to keep up with inflation and recoup losses during the recession.
The agency said in November that it lost $5 billion in the latest fiscal year. That's far less than in recent years, but that's on top of years of losses.
The agency has exhausted a $15 billion loan from taxpayers to make up for shortfalls.

Inc. Magazine On Second Life: Empty Calories
Inc. magazine's February cover story is an interview Philip Rosedale, CEO of Second Life.
The article is essentially a puff piece — "the coolest new marketplace in the world", "7000 SL businesses are profitable", "SL is a haven for entrepreneurs, with thousands of businesses", "Linden dollars can be cashed out for cold, hard cash", "the SL economy is clipping along at $10mil USD per month."
I wish Inc. had asked hard questions about disputed user figures (as per Clay Shirky), about the true ROI of SL marketing, about the claims SL is a ponzi scheme. I'd hoped the article would have provided some insight into Linden Lab's financials and financing.
Readers would have been better served if Inc. had treated the SL story like a real business article, rather than a social phenomenon piece.
Second Life is clearly overhyped, indeed. But even if the reality is but one tenth of the spin, there's also an important real story underneath, something new and interesting.

Dear County and District Superintendents, Charter School Administrators, and High School Principals:
The purpose of this letter is to provide guidance on the implementation of Assembly Bill 1330 (Chapter 621, Statutes of 2011) in districts and schools offering instruction in any of grades nine through twelve, inclusive.
Existing state law requires all graduating high school students to complete one course in visual or performing arts or foreign language. Beginning with the 2012–13 school year (class of 2013), AB 1330 authorizes local educational agencies to accept a Career Technical Education (CTE) course as an optional high school graduation requirement in lieu of one course in visual or performing arts or foreign language. Please note that AB 1330 does not require a district or a school to start new CTE programs.
AB 1330 also requires the California Department of Education (CDE) to submit a report to the Legislature by July 1, 2017, concerning the impact of AB 1330. In addition, the provisions of AB 1330 will be repealed on January 1, 2018, unless its provisions are extended by legislative action.
If a local governing board elects to adopt an optional CTE graduation requirement pursuant to AB 1330, the governing board, prior to offering the optional CTE graduation requirement to students, shall notify parents, teachers, pupils, and the public at a regularly scheduled meeting of the governing board. This notification shall include the following:
For more information about California's high school graduation requirements, including more detailed guidance for complying with the provisions of AB 1330, please visit the CDE State Minimum Course Requirements Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/gs/hs/hsgrmin.asp.
If you have any questions regarding this subject, please contact
Terrie Poulos, Education Programs Consultant, High School Innovations and Initiatives Office, by phone at 916-319-0483 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com [Note: the previous contact is no longer valid.

You know you must be a big hit at an office when on your first day, 8 of your co-workers join you for a lunch out – and that's just what happened when our former intern, McKenna, arrived this week to start full time. Meanwhile, I couldn't even get 8 co-workers to come out for my birthday.
We were a little torn where to go – while Vezzo is a group favorite, the limited seating makes it difficult for a larger group. Instead, we decided to try Bella Napoli, on Madison and 31st.
Bella Napoli offers a variety of lunch options, from slices of pizza and calzones, to salads, heros and hot pasta dishes. We were all able to order at the counter, and then came back together to sit down and enjoy our meal. The prices are affordable, with slices around $3 – but trust me , they are big and one can somewhat fill you up. Pasta and chicken parm dishes, served together, are around $7.50.
Since we all tried different dishes, I thought we'd put together a little recap:
- I ordered a spinach stuffed slice. When looking at it, many commented that it looked like it had a "Popeye" amount of spinach in it. But to be honest, it was a great mix of cheese and bread that I didn't even realize I was eating that much spinach. It was filling, but I didn't have that sick food-coma feeling afterwards. I definitely would order it again.
- Doug Feingold, Columbia Correspondent: I had two slices of the pepperoni pizza – and they were just the way I like them. They were very greasy, and featured plenty of the large pepperonis all over the slice. It was not an experience where I felt like I was fishing for a pepperoni. Instead, there was a bit of 'roni in every bite. Moreover, they weren't overly cheesy. It was the perfect combination of bread, sauce and cheese, which sadly, I find many places have a difficult time of achieving. The slices were also very large and less than $6 for the two – more than filling. When I'm in the mood for pizza for lunch, this is definitely where I'm heading.
- McKenna Lowry, Westchester Correspondent: Plain slice wasn't all that good, but the focaccia slice with mozzarella, tomatoes and basil was delicious.
Pasta and Parm Dishes
- Paul Merchan, Rapper Correspondent: I can never say no to baked ziti. When I saw it in the heating tray, I knew it's what I wanted. It was nicely bathed in succulent marinara sauce and cheese. The mix created an awesome red-white color on the ziti which I knew would hit the spot – so I ordered it, thinking that's all I would have. But then the server surprised me and asked if I wanted meat on it. Perplexed, I asked what kinds of meat. When he said "chicken parmesan" I stopped him right there and inquired about the price. The total would be $7.50. It was a no-brainer. The chicken was juicy and tasted like heaven with the ziti on top. It was a very good portion, too. I had previously ordered a hero and a soup here and was not impressed at all. But their chicken parmesan and baked ziti converted me back.
- Milos Sugovic, Foreign Correspondent: As a huge fan of eggplant parmesan, I give their attempt to stimulate my Serbian taste buds a 9/10.
Bella Napoli Salad
- Caryn: Salad – delicious. I loved the liquid (although maybe it's oil) from the peppers, and the mozzarella cheese was an excellent touch. It was a surprisingly fulfilling salad and I will definitely get it again. Plus, they give you this big garlicky roll with it. I was very impressed.
- Alicia Wells, New Jersey Correspondent: I had the Bella Napoli Salad (same as Caryn) but without eggplant. My thoughts can be summed up in one word: "eh.â€Â It was just OK. Maybe that has to do with the fact that I don't really like roasted peppers, and there were a lot of them, but I wasn't really overwhelmed. I wished I had gone with a sandwich or pizza. I also got garlic bread, which was delicious.
Overall, most of us enjoyed lunch and I think Bella Napoli will definitely be in our lunch rotation. A few of us have also made Bella a Happy Hour spot – the restaurant serves $2 domestic bottles up until 7 p.m. and if you are really nice to the staff, sometimes they extend it til 8.The Basics
Name: Bella Napoli Location: 130 Madison Ave between 30th and 31st

Emmy Insults! Host Jane Lynch Zings Betty White, Katie Holmes & Ricky Gervais
From the opening musical number: "[TV is a world] where dancing with Bristol Palin in a monkey suit is dancing with a star."
"Oh, there's Betty White. She's the reason we start the show at 5 pm."
"Katy Holmes is in the house as well. I'd love to say something funny about her, but I'm afraid of her husband."
"Poor little Ricky Gervais. Someone didn't get enough hugs from mommy and somehow it's Hollywood's fault."
"Welcome back to the Modern Family awards. You know, we decided to throw them into the drama category, just to see what happens. Hollywood."
"Yesterday, my daughter had a tea party with her little friends, and it was so cute. They complained about taxes, called Obama a Communist, and wondered how the Latina kid got in."
"Everyone was asking me if I had a gay agenda for the show. And actually I do. Call Rachel Maddow and find out what time spinning is. Take the pickup in for an oil change - nah, I'll do it myself."
"I had the smallest of aneurysms watching that clip."
"Everyone was asking me if I had a gay agenda for this show. And actually I do. 'Call Rachel Maddow and find out what time spinning is. Take the pickup in for an oil change' - nah, I'll do it myself."
"A lot of people are curious why I'm a lesbian. Ladies and gentlemen, the cast of 'Entourage.'"
"Congratulations to Kate Winslet, who just won an Emmy. She's a wonderful film actress, and there are so many movie stars doing TV now that TV stars have been forced into providing voices for video games. And those very same video games are then turned into movies, starring the very people who put the TV stars out of work in the first place. Hakuna matata, my friends. Circle of life."

Planned one-day closure - NCAR Mesa Lab - 10/10/15 more info>
- UCAR Home
- About Us
- News
- Research+Resources
- Education
- For Staff
My question has to do with the UCAR policy on intellectual property and
technology transfer (IP and TT). There seems to be a mismatch between the
description of this policy in the December 2000 issue of Staff Notes
Monthly and the version available on the UCAR internal Web site.
The Staff Notes Monthly article refers to 90% of revenue going to the
programs and divisions, but the Web site states that 50% of the revenues
will be retained by the UCAR Foundation and the division/program will
receive 50% of the remainder. The article also refers to an active role in
the IP & TT process for the division/program, while the Web site does not
include any reference to the division/program in the Responsibilities
section. Finally, the article refers to a major revision of the IP & TT
policy in 1998, while the Web site lists a 12/94 date at the bottom.
My questions are:
(1) What is UCAR's current intellectual property and technology transfer
(2) Is UCAR required to notify staff when changes are made to distribution
percentages or other sections of the IP & TT policy? (Web references:
Policy 1-1-8, IP & TT, Provision 8 and Policy 1-1-2, Policy Manual
Applicability and Adherence, Responsibilities 1)
(3) Why has the IP & TT policy not been updated on the Web and UCAR staff
(4) When will the IP & TT policy be updated on the Web and UCAR staff be
Answered on February 02, 2001
I appreciate having this brought to my attention. Unfortunately, I was not
aware that the new IP policy had not been posted on the Web. The current
policy, which provides for divisions and programs to receive 90% of the
proceeds from commercialization, was approved by the UCAR President's
Council almost a year ago. UCAR has a standard procedure for updating the
policy manual and notifying staff of changes to policy. Failure to update
the IP policy was an oversight, and Valerie Friesen, corporate policy
development administrator, did not receive a copy of the revised policy.
This oversight will be corrected immediately. My apologies for any
confusion this may have caused.

|Community Band Concert Today Benefits Humane Society
|Written by Steve Frank
|Sunday, 16 October 2011 06:46
The Watauga Community Band is teaming up with the Watauga Humane Society for a band concert today to benefit the animal shelter. The 3pm concert will be under the direction of William R. Winkler III at Rosen Concert Hall on the ASU campus. Members of the Watauga Humane Society
will be there to take donations, with 100% of the money collected going to the organization, which just opened a new shelter just off Old US 421. With the tie-in to the Humane Society, the band has on its program, "Whistler and His Dog," which should prove appropriate for the event. Other features include a great selection of concert pieces and marches, with the band not only playing but singing to two of the pieces.
Next up for the Watauga Community Band will be the Veteran's Day Celebration at Boone Mall, Friday, November 11th, with music beginning about 10am, the ceremony, put on by the Retired Military Officers Association, at 11. This Tuesday evening, the band begins rehearsal for their Christmas season music, and anyone who can play is invited to join in by coming to the rehearsals in the main rehearsal room, Spencer Rehearsal Hall in the Hayes School of Music on the ASU campus, 7:30pm.

Would it be possible to remote control the outputs of the f/b?
For example, say I had it hooked up to 5 interior car lights, these lights would be controlled via a relay that is controlled by the F/B, which is then controlled by IR. If this is at all possible, what sort of reciever would I need? Would something like the Velleman K8050 15 Channel Remote Reciever work? The only reason I mention that, is because on the Velleman site it says it can work with the Velleman K8055, which I believe is a similar product to yours. This goes with the K8049 Transmitter (remote control).
Sorry if I'm being a bit vague, but I'm trying to work it all out in my head at the moment.
Also, will your relays and the F/B handle the U.K 240 volts ok? Reason I ask is that if the remote idea could work as well, it could mean I can remotely control the house from outside, or the car etc (within range) and turn lights on before approaching the drive etc.

Prosthetic limbs
by Chris Woodford. Last updated: November 25, 2014.
Have you ever met anyone who has an artificial limb? Chances are you have—without even knowing it. Modern prostheses (as replacement limbs are properly known) work so effectively and look so convincing that you wouldn't even know someone was wearing one. People with prosthetic legs can often climb stairs, walk, swim, and run as well as though they were using natural limbs, while prosthetic arms and hands have advanced to the point where they give individual control of all five fingers. You might think they're boring or mundane, but prosthetic limbs are among the world's truly great inventions: by boosting independence they boost optimism and both these things dramatically improve people's lives. Let's take a closer look at how these amazing devices work!

Right: Anything you can do (part 2): Military amputees learn to surf at the Naval Medical Center San Diego. Photo by Jake Berenguer courtesy of US Navy.
What is a prosthesis?
A prosthesis (also called a prosthetic limb, artificial limb, or limb replacement) is an artificially made substitute for a limb lost through a congenital defect (present at birth), accident, illness, or wartime injury. A type of prosthesis called a cosmesis is designed to be purely cosmetic and has little or no function; artificial hands often fall into this category. Other prostheses are highly functional and have little or no cosmetic disguise; artificial legs, designed to be covered by pants (trousers), are sometimes little more than metal rods and wires.
Types of prosthesis
In theory, any part of the body—from your ear or nose to your finger or toe—could be replaced by a prosthesis. In practice, there are four common types of prosthetic limb, which replace either a partial or complete loss of an arm or leg:
- Below the knee (transtibial): A replacement lower leg attached to an intact upper leg.
- Above the knee (transfemoral): A complete replacement leg.
- Below the elbow (transradial): A replacement forearm.
- Above the elbow (transhumeral): A complete replacement arm.
Photo: Right: A typical transfemoral prosthesis. The white part at the top is the socket: it fits snugly around the patient's residual limb. Photo by Greg Mitchell courtesy of US Navy.
How does a prosthesis work?
A prosthesis consists of a number of different parts. There's the prosthetic limb itself, the socket (the joint between the prosthetic limb and the patient's body), the attachment mechanism, and the control system. Let's briefly look at these in turn.
The prosthetic limb
The construction of a prosthesis depends largely on the job it will have to do. While cosmetic hands are concerned purely with appearance, prosthetic legs are substitutes for a major structural part of someone's body and have to bear their entire weight. Typically, a replacement arm or leg is made from a strong and durable but lightweight material such as carbon fiber, covered with foam padding (for comfort) or flesh-colored plastic. The weight of prosthetic limbs is a very important factor. We don't notice how much our limbs weigh because they feel so natural and seem to move themselves. But if you consider that your two legs amount to 30–40 percent of your total body weight, and your two arms about 10 percent, you can see why prosthetic limbs need to be much lighter: you'd quickly get tired moving prosthetic limbs that weighed as much as natural ones.

The socket
The comfort and effectiveness of a prosthesis is largely governed by how well it fits onto the remaining part of the patient's own limb, which is called their residual limb (or sometimes, informally, the "stump"). The connecting part of a prosthesis is called the socket and it's carefully molded around a plaster cast taken from the residual limb. The fit of a socket has to be precise or the new limb may damage the residual one, causing discomfort or tissue damage and perhaps even making it impossible to wear the prosthesis for a time. A patient's residual limb is likely to change shape and size over months and years so new sockets will be needed from time to time. More precisely fitting sockets can now be made by scanning a patient's residual limb with lasers.
The attachment mechanism
A well-fitting prosthesis is usually secured to a residual limb by straps, harnesses, or even by suction. A snug, secure fitting is vital for comfort—and ensures the limb can be properly controlled. Often the socket is itself a part of the attachment: for example, a prosthetic leg socket may consist of a large hollow plastic casing into which the residual limb is inserted.
Photo: Right: This simple transradial (below-the-elbow) prosthetic arm attaches with a socket, straps, and a shoulder harness. Note the relatively crude "hand," which has been specifically designed to help the man do his job. Photo by courtesy of NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (NASA-MSFC).
The control system
Natural limbs are pulled back and forth by muscles stimulated by our brains; in much the same way, the simplest functional prostheses are operated by systems of cables that run through them, doing the job of the muscles. One common type of prosthetic hand is a pincer, sometimes worn inside a glove (for cosmetic reasons) that can be opened or closed by pulling cables attached to the opposite shoulder. Simple artificial legs work largely through gravity: the wearer learns to walk in them, through practice, by alternately swinging them into position and then balancing on them while they move their unimpaired leg in its turn. More sophisticated prostheses are electrically controlled and powered by rechargeable battery packs.
The most sophisticated (and expensive) prostheses are myoelectric. They use electrodes to sense muscular impulses in the residual limb (or elsewhere on the patient's body); electronic control systems detect those signals and amplify them to power electric motors that operate the prosthetic limb as though it were real. In other words, the patient thinks "I want to move my arm," their brain stimulates muscles in the residual arm, the electronic system commands the electric motors to move and the prosthetic limb shifts accordingly.

Right: A much more sophisticated prosthetic arm and hand. This ultra-sophisticated i-limb™, made by Touch Bionics, has five working fingers that give good enough grip to pick up marbles. Photo by Charmain Z. Brackett courtesy of US Army.
Learning to live with a new limb
Technology is only part of the story, of course. Getting used to a brand new part of your body is a physical and psychological challenge involving a partnership between the patient and their prosthetist. This hugely important person works with you at every stage of the process, from choosing the best prosthesis for your needs; through the process of measuring, manufacture, and fitting; to helping you learn how to operate your new limb; and tackle new challenges such as taking up a sport or activity.

Virtue Program
The main objective of Everest Academy's virtue program is to offer students, teachers, and parents a means to know, value, practice, and internalize virtues in a consistent and committed manner. The focus is on the practice and acquisition of specific virtues. Virtue is a habitual and firm disposition to do the right thing. It allows the person not only to perform good acts, but to give the best of oneself.
Students in Everest Academy are provided ongoing opportunities to exercise virtue on a daily basis. Virtue is taught and encouraged in all activities and circumstances of school life. The goal is to help students intellectually understand and internalize the virtues they are asked to practice. This serves to make these virtues part of their own life principles, helping them become true leaders of character. For this reason, Everest Academy considers formation in virtue to be a vital component of the educational program.
Virtue Campaigns
Throughout the year Everest Academy carries out a series of virtue campaigns aimed at helping students practice spiritual and human virtues. Campaigns help create school spirit and unity in understanding, living, and internalizing virtue. The basics of a campaign include: defining a virtue, providing opportunities to practice the virtue in everyday situations, and reinforcing these with motivating activities outlined in the campaign. Parents are encouraged to review all campaign materials sent home by the school and to actively participate in them with the recommended "at-home" activities.

Why I collect DVDs
I was struck by Tambay's recent comment, on his recent post about the new Apple iPad, that he does most of his movie watching on his laptop and hasn't rented a DVD from Netflix for the longest. I must assume he's speaking for a lot of people who do the same thing. However, I must be getting old (…no I AM old) because I can't imagine myself ever doing that. I LOVE my DVDs (That's not my collection the photo but it comes damn near close and it gets bigger every week). In fact, believe it or not, I've never once rented anything from Netflix and that's because I buy DVDs, not rent them and will never give them up. Now I did stop long time ago renting DVDs from rental stores (when they were still around) mainly because the selections were always so poor. Their selections usually consisted of a 1000 copies of whatever came out six months earlier and lousy straight-to-DVD titles usually starring Vivica A. Fox, Val Kilmer or Steven Segal that I had no interest in.
I buy at least 2 or 3 a week and never ever at full price. Who does? Thank God for Ebay, used DVDs stores like Reckless Records and online stores where something is always for sale at a big discount. And if I happen to buy something I'm not crazy about, straight it goes to an used DVD store where I can trade it in for something I know I'll like that I can get for a 50 cents difference or get a few bucks back.
I have a feeling that people are downloading more and more films and watching them on their computers or iPhones or what have you because they're not that good. If something really means something to you wouldn't you want to keep it? Not surpringly the majority of my collection is made up of films made before 1980. I've got everything from the 1930′s through to the 1970′s back when they really knew how to make movies.
I think same goes for why people download music instead of buying CDs. Years ago when you bought an album every cut was good. Nowadays you're lucky if you have 3 good cuts on a CD today, so why bother wasting money buying one? Just download the songs you like, forget the rest and save yourself some money. No wonder Rhianna's and Mariah Carey's latest CDs flopped, but Susan Boyle's album became the biggest selling album by an female artist in years. Laugh at her all you want and call her squarer than sqaure, but a lot of people love those old standards well sung.
But that also goes to why I buy and collect DVDs (not to mention my larger collection of CDs and lately I've now been buying LPs again). I can't rent a film from Netflix, have it arrive in the mail and just send it back or watch a film on a computer. Doing that to me is to treat and regard movies as an ephemeral, transient, unimportant thing that just comes and goes in your life with no effect. They definitely aren't to me. I LOVE MOVIES. They are my life. I still remember the very first film I ever saw which was The Vikings with Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis (and yes I have that in my collection too) to the one I saw yesterday which was Edge of Darkness. (And while we're at let me give all praise to Turner Classic Movies Channel. I don't remember how I lived before without it) I respect films too much and all that they mean to me to treat them as just something I get in the mail and drop off in a mailbox. For me a life without films is not living at all.
And I'll be honest, I love the cases DVDs come in. Nothing thrills me than to see my collection lined up on the wall like a prized possession, which they are to me. I have friends who have even bigger collections than mine that strike me with awe. One friend with an incredible collection has multiple copies of several films inclusing three different versions of both Hostel and Hostel 2 some even signed by the director Eli Roth. Now THAT'S a collector!
So I'll go on buying and collecting my DVDs. And In case you're wondering,…yes I always have a bunch I haven't had a chance yet to watch. I will eventually, but in the meantime it's nice to know that they're there.

Lost dog rescued from grave, reunited with owner
DENHAM SPRINGS - An animal shelter worker pulled a lost dog from an open grave in Denham Springs today, and News 2 was there to see the rescue.
A Denham Springs Animal Shelter employee was called to a local graveyard after a dog had been found in the bottom of an empty grave shortly before a funeral service was scheduled to begin. A rescuer was able to get the dog out in time for the service.
"I do get emergency calls like this sometimes," said shelter worker Angela Menier. "I've had dogs in abandoned houses that have fallen through."
But it's the rest of the rescue that's making this story so memorable for animal shelter workers.
Minutes after the rescue, the dog, known as Gidget, was reunited with her owner, Maybelle Kelly.
"I've been crying, I've been praying, I was calling all over the place," said an emotional Kelly. "I'm so glad to have her."
Gidget was not injured from the fall into the empty grave or during the rescue. Kelly made a donation to the animal shelter to show her appreciation.

A later belief is that Yemen was the historic kingdom of Sheba, from which the mystic Queen (long thought to be Abyssinian) travelled to the court of King Solomon (Suleiman). Whatever the real truth of these tales they make for splendid legends and add more character to Yemen's colourful past.
Buildings of interest to the visitor include the old Arab quarter (the Medina), the citadel (Al Qasr) the ruined fort of Al-Birash and the Mutawakil, once the palace of the Imams and now a museum. Handicrafts are most attractive; finely worked silver and jewellery, weaving and leather artefacts. More modern industries have been developed but the nation has not yet achieved economic stability.

After the Tests
The spring 1998 Indian and Pakistani nuclear tests made South Asia and the world a more dangerous place, says this independent Task Force report. It recommends that the immediate objectives of U.S. foreign policy should be to encourage India and Pakistan to cap their nuclear capabilities at or near their current levels and to reinforce the global effort to stem the horizontal and vertical proliferation of nuclear weapons and advanced delivery systems. At the same time, the Task Force emphasizes that the United States has important interests in South Asia in addition to those relating to proliferation. Those include preventing conflict, promoting democracy, expanding economic growth, trade, and investment, and cooperating with India and Pakistan on global challenges.

"The ROI that we have achieved in terms of lead quality and conversion rates is testament to the ability of Eloqua's programs to deliver the value-added insights that are so crucial to bringing customers over the line in today's increasingly competitive market."
The marketing team had become very good at creating responses to multi-channel marketing programs. So good in fact, that the top of the sales funnel overflowed with leads to the point that it was creating a negative reaction from sales. Sales felt that the quality of the leads generated by marketing was poor and following up was sometimes a waste of time. Marketing realised they needed a way to automatically evaluate responses so only the best leads made their way to sales.
McAfee marketing decided that the best way to engage leads that were not ready to buy was to create a journey. Prospects went through a segmented nurturing program giving them the right information at the right time in the buying process so leads became sales ready using lead scoring and nurturing.As the world's largest dedicated security technology company, McAfee realised that its sales and marketing teams had to work closely together to drive revenue growth. Agreement and alignment between the two departments was crucial to creating marketing effectiveness and improving the sales pipeline.
Industry: Technology
Revenue: $2.3 billion
Employees: 6500
Now McAfee can analyse and assess both the profile fit and level of engagement of each lead. Leads are assessed by job role, company size, relationship, email clicks, downloaded assets, trial downloads and event attendance. Analytics based on individuals and their engagement level help differentiate warm leads from cold. Leads that score highly are routed through an inside telemarketing team before the very best go over to sales. Lead scoring is relatively simple to set up but the essence of a good nurture program is to really focus on the target audience or the persona you are trying to reach and the journey you want to create.
McAfee also wanted to reduce the volume of cold leads wasting sales team resources and prevent such leads from being triggered to the CRM system. At the same time, it wanted to increase the lead 'temperature' of certain prospects while also gathering more valuable information and insights to ultimately aid the sales team's conversion efforts. Eloqua's automated lead nurturing program helped McAfee address this challenge of overall lead temperature by providing the capability to develop a bespoke strategy for each individual lead which would ultimately increase overall lead quality. Eloqua's intuitive workflow simplifies the development of ongoing lead nurturing campaigns. In this instance, all McAfee had to do was assign rules to initiate a communication and determine the path that it wanted their prospect to take. Fundamental was the rationale of taking the prospect on a journey, rather than just talking to them about a product. The success of this strategy was based on the mantra of 'sending the right asset at the right time to the right person' and was underpinned by message, visual identity, nurturing stages, journey flow, and marketing automation balance. By implementing lead scoring, McAfee reduced leads by 35 per cent while improving overall lead quality. Lead to opportunity conversion rate increased four-fold, highlighting a clear return on investment.
This high level of success led to implementation across multiple geographies around the world. At first, only North America was using Eloqua Co-Dynamic Lead ScoringTM. Then it was rolled out across EMEA, APAC and LATAM. Eloqua's automated lead nurturing programme was deployed across North American and EMEA offices with LATAM and APAC to follow. In addition to the tangible benefits and high adoption rate, a better relationship between the sales and marketing team was established. The implementation gave the sales team insights and analytics to prioritise leads and convert opportunities into sales.
"The implementation of Eloqua's lead scoring and lead nurturing programmes has really moved us forward in our marketing evolution. Eloqua has delivered value-added insights that are crucial in turning prospects into customers in today's increasingly competitive market," said Alexandre Papillaud, director of McAfee's Global Demand Center.

But maybe it's a wordplay type thing on sandles being called "thongs" also?
I get the whole idea of these being there to prevent chafing or whatever, it's the idea that's it looks like lacy ladies undies that made me stop and say wtf. And as for it being for dancers, maybe for younger girls starting out, but I doubt a serious dancer would be getting a flimsy little thing like this at walmart, it was barely padded underneath.
and to those that say meh, Fancy @replied me on twitter and asked to post it, I was just sending it to my friends on there, so don't look at me.

Tyler County Booster
City of Woodville—On October 28, 2010, the City of Woodville was presented a check for a $1.064 million grant from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Texas Department of Rural Affairs (TDRA). We were given this grant because we are a community affected by Hurricane Ike and we are excited about the following projects made possible by the largest grant ever received by the City of Woodville. While the projects selected were due to failures during the storm, most of them were identified long before the storm as needs to be addressed when funding was available. The first such project is a culvert system that desperately needed to be replaced on M.L.K. behind the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church. Erosion was a continuous threat to private property there for several years and the cost to replace the system was in excess of $300,000.00. Next, the sewage system in the Woodway subdivision was the only part of our system that failed during the hurricane because of the way it was designed. The grant makes it possible for us to make necessary changes to the current design and add a lift station and upgrade a generator there to make it easier to manage and maintain during an event that may cause wide spread power outages, among other things. Additionally, the Fire Station and Police Station will be "hardened" to help them withstand harsh weather and remain functional. This will include replacing the roof systems and providing permanent stationary generators for each facility. These are all things that the City was going to have to address eventually and we feel blessed that they are being addressed and funded by HUD through TDRA, so we can focus on other needs the City has.

Each sings selections from the Wagnerian and Italian verismo repertoires, after which they join forces for a powerful duet from Puccini's Manon Lescaut. The concert opens with Wagner's Tannhauser Overture - the work that first inspired a five-year-old Nelsons to a life in music - and closes with Respighi's spectacular orchestral showcase, Pines of Rome.

49ers (1-2, Lost vs. Colts) vs. Rams ( 1-2, Lost vs. Cowboys)
So it seems that San Francisco has hit a crisis of confidence. After being pounded into sand by Seattle, the team doesn't seem to be able to keep it together–which is weird, because this is a frighteningly good team on paper. The addition of Anquan Boldin to a core that includes such stars as Frank Gore and Vernon Davis should make Colin Kaepernick look like a superstar, but they've dropped two in a row and threaten to join The Aluminums and The Runts in the no-nickname club if this trend continues.

How I Started Wearing High HeelsI had had no thought or desire to wear high heels until some days ago. It all started when I came across some pairs of high heels with a locking ankle strap and real padlocks on them. I found it quite an appealing concept, imagining my girlfriend locking some high heels on me and thus "forcing" me to wear them for as long as she pleased. I found this thought very sexy, to be stuck with such uncomfortable but stylish shoes on my feet. The style that caught my eye was this one
It's a pair of 5 inch high heeled black patent pumps that have an ankle strap. The ankle strap is secured with a chain and padlock and prevents the wearer from removing the shoe unless it's undone by unlocking it. I became so excited with this so I placed an order on these sexy babies since they were available my size. Being a man and never having worn heels before, I figured it'd be hard as hell - let alone dangerous - to walk in these pumps. So, until I get my hands on these sexy pumps, I've decided to spend some time practising on lower heels, I secretly borrowed a pair of my mom's 2 3/4 inch heels to get used to walking in heels. It was a little difficult at first but I must say I've reached a point now, some days later, when I find it quite natural to walk in these. I can't wait to lock the 5 inch ones on my feet. It must be a lot harder to walk in those, but at least, I've made a start with the lower heels and I've got the knack of it, so it should come easier!
UPDATE: Received the high heels, had the ankle straps shortened so that they fit snugly around my ankles and posted a video of me walking around in these high heeled beauties. In the video, the pumps are locked on my feet and they keys dumped in a large container full of stuff in my kitchen. Had to spend about 20 minutes to find them and use them to remove the shoes afterwards! I am also wearing a skirted gymnastics leotard and a pair of black pantyhose.
Love it. I got caught dressed when a friend stopped by. Oh yes, so exciting
(My answer was so long and rambling, that I put the whole thing on my blog, this is an excerpt from it)

I can still remember my 1st pair of real 'store bought' high heels. I made a few experimental attempts when I was out on my own after graduating college and working at my 1st job. I didn't try to make a shoe, more like a platform heel that I added to some cheap sandals to simulate the height of a high heeled shoe, they didn't last long or hold up well, but the sensation was incredible and i knew I had to conquer my fear and buy some, some how, some where.

I had already bought a few pairs of pantyhose, a girdle and some spandex exercise items in the previous 5 or so years, but high heels were different. They were the ultimate in femininity and forbidden fruit for me. I bought them from a wal-mart, with other items like pantyhose, an all in one girdle, some stockings, a slip, a bra, panties and who knows what else.

They were black, fake leather pumps, with a skinny 4 inch heel, and pointy toes. I secretly tried them on in the aisle, just to make sure they were the right size, and they were an 11, the largest they had in a style with a stiletto heel.

At some point after that, I bought some hot pink pumps from a payless or similar store. They were almost 5 inches high, which was hard to find in a store in '90-91, not like today's crazy sky high heels everywhere you look.
I did Sis. You walk almost as well as I do in 5" heels. ;-)
3 1/2 inch, for me seems to be the cusp of not being able to walk totally like a guy anymore. It forces you to lead with your crotch area when you walk and stand up straight at attention. One of my fantasies is to have my wife lock me in a nice tight corset and 5" stilettos and walk on a treadmill set up at the foot of the bed with my hands tied behind my back while she stares into my eyes as she is grinding violently on one of her regular lover's member and is totally carried away in ecstasy! After he is done with her she would make me clean her up with my tongue and announce to me that I am NEVER allowed to have intercourse with her again while she permanently locks me in chastity! "You will from now on be my s*x slave and you will do WHAT I say, WHEN I say, and HOW I say and you WILL LIKE it!" " You will also be paying for this p*ssy by buying any sexy clothes, an excessive amount of shoes that my many lovers require, and any trips that I go on with or without you." " You are now my sweet cuckold honey and I am going to keep you for my very own and only share you with my girlfriends only to clean their house and wait on them!"
You had me going there right up to the point where another guy got involved. I'd prefer to be cuffed to the treadmill, and have my wife turn up the speed to see how far I can push it. See which gives out first my feet or the lack of breath from being tight laced.
I don't have locking shoes but what I do have is a steel boned corset. When that is tightly laced I cant reach my feet to take off my 5 inch stiletos. It's wonderfully restrictive.
can't find your pic
found it - would've been nicer if you'd been wearing hose
Step carefully, there is a big difference between low heels and high heels. I can walk, unsteadily, in 4.5 in. heels but I can RUN in 2.5 in.
Once you start wearing heels you will be hooked it can become a very expensive fetish so be prepared to spend a lot of money and not all women will accept
