Netas And The Net
In Delhi, the Congress has set up a help desk for its workers keen to learn the ways of social media and started its own social networking site for party workers called Khidkee.com. And at a recent workshop for Congress spokespersons, Rahul Gandhi told party members to be dignified while speaking on behalf of the party and to make good use of social media in the run-up to the 2014 elections. (One of Gandhi's diktats was soon broken when Congress workers in Mumbai behaved in an entirely undignified manner, by forcing Aditi restaurant in Parel to close for printing the owner's opinion of the ruling party – one that many people share – on its bills.)
The idea behind encouraging netas to get on to Twitter and Facebook is no doubt to influence the country's growing Internet-savvy vote bank and counter Narendra Modi's propaganda blitzkrieg on social media sites. According to this report, Modi has roped in two Internet mavens, Rajesh Jain and B.G. Mahesh, to manage his social media campaign. Now there's no shortage of national level politicians who've long been active on social media. Modi, Shashi Tharoor, Sushma Swaraj, Milind Deora and Omar Abdullah are active on Twitter; Mamata Banerjee is a regular Facebook user; and L.K. Advani is an avid blogger. The Indian Express recently reported that now, even local netas are beginning to woo voters by getting on Twitter and Facebook and creating websites.
Pramod Mandrekar, a member of the Congress party and former corporator, is on Facebook. "At times it helps to reach out to more people," he said. "You can write down a message and it can be passed around." But looking at their efforts, it's obvious that they need help. For instance, a number of the Congress workers on Facebook have similar pages. There's the regulation photograph of at least one of the Gandhis, usually heir apparent Rahul Gandhi, and the posts are limited to photographs of inaugurations and party activities. Take the Facebook page of Vilasbhau Rupawate, the general secretary of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC). It has a photo of Rahul Gandhi with two children on the occasion of Guru Purnima; another photo of his that says "Save Tree"; several posts on new schemes initiated by the Congress; a poster wishing Rahul Gandhi happy birthday and so on. Rupawate's boss, MPCC president Manikrao Thakre, is a sporadic Twitter user who last Tweeted in February. Most of his Tweets are homilies such as "Relationship is possible, only when two egos are dropped"; "It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light"; and "A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him."
Similarly partial to clichés, MPCC secretary Manoj Shinde has filled his Facebook page with posts such as, "Umbrella can't stop the rain but can make us stand in the rain. Confidence may not bring success but gives us power to face any challenges." The Opposition doesn't fare much better. Shiv Sena leader and chairman of the BMC standing committee chairman Rahul Shewale joined Twitter in January 2011 and last Tweeted in March of that year. His website is entirely in Marathi thereby excluding non-Marathi speakers. Aditya Thackeray is meant to be the party's modern, tech-savvy face, but his Facebook page is composed of mostly sundry messages for his party workers and the odd post on a topical issue. And BJP Mumbai president Ashish Shelar's Facebook page is another list of party activities such as medical camps that have been initiated, dustbins that have been distributed, and book launches that he has graced.
Despite the claim the Indian Express story makes, there are few corporators and local politicians who make use of social networking. Fewer still seem to have the skill or inclination to use the medium to generate debate. All they're interested in is broadcasting their achievements and sharing their rather dull thoughts. Perhaps our local elected representatives might benefit from guidance by their glibbest counterparts. That would be Indian polity's two most prolific Twitter users, the Congress's Shashi Tharoor and the BJP's Narendra Modi. Though Tharoor, who was till recently the reigning political champion on Twitter, must have been miffed when Modi took over. While Tharoor currently has 1,846,176 followers, Modi is ahead with 1,959,339 followers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Food Handling
Q. Is it okay to eat raw or lightly cooked eggs?
A. When properly handled, raw and lightly cooked Canada Grade 'A' eggs are not a concern for healthy individuals. There is, however, a high-risk segment of the population that should avoid eating eggs that are not thoroughly cooked. This includes: people who are suffering from a disease or whose immune system is compromised, very young children, the elderly and pregnant women.
While farmers, graders and retailers work to implement safe handling standards at all levels, consumers also have an important role to play to ensure proper handling practices are followed:
For more food handling information, click http://eggs.ca/cooking-with-eggs/egg-handling-and-storage/eggs-and-food-safety
Q. Can eggs be eaten after the Best Before date?
A. If they have been kept refrigerated, eggs can be eaten for a short time after the Best Before date. Keep in mind however, the Best Before date (which is stamped on the side of the carton) indicates the length of time the eggs will maintain their Grade A quality. A Grade A egg has a firm yolk, thick white, small air cell at the large end of the egg, and no visible cracks in the shell. For optimum quality and functional performance, eggs should be consumed prior to the Best Before Date.
Q. Can I keep eggs at room temperature?
A. Eggs are a perishable food and should be stored in their carton in the refrigerator. For optimum quality, eggs should be used up within the "Best Before" date. For every hour eggs are kept at room temperature, they age an entire day.
Q. Can eggs be used after they've been accidentally frozen?
A. Accidental freezing of eggs, especially in the winter is a common problem. If the eggs have broken through their shells they should be discarded. If the shells are still intact, the eggs can be thawed in the refrigerator and used in a thoroughly cooked dish such as scrambled eggs or hard-cooked eggs. Other uses are limited because once frozen the consistency of the egg yolk changes from a liquid to a solid (much like a hard rubber ball), and becomes lumpy.
Q. How to Freeze Eggs:
A. Raw egg may be frozen at -18ºC (0ºF) for up to four months. Egg whites can be frozen as is, in an air-tight container, leaving room for expansion. To freeze yolks or whole eggs, break them into a bowl, mixing gently without incorporating air to prevent lumpiness in the yolk, add salt, sugar or corn syrup (depending on the intended use) in the following amounts:
½ tsp. (2 mL) salt for every 1 cup (250 mL) egg
1 tbsp. (15 mL) sugar or corn syrup for every 1 cup (250 mL) egg
Place in freezer container, leaving room for expansion. Freeze eggs in small quantities so that only what is needed can be thawed. For easy storage, freeze eggs in an ice cube tray, then transfer to a plastic bag. Frozen eggs should be thawed in the refrigerator and used only in recipe dishes which are thoroughly cooked.
Hard-cooked eggs do not freeze successfully, as cooked egg whites will become tough and rubbery.
Q. How long can hard-cooked eggs be kept?
A. Hard-cooked eggs, in the shell or peeled, will keep for one week in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Q. How long can pickled eggs be kept?
A. Homemade pickled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for one month.

Productivity growth in information-sector industries
October 09, 2003
Between 1987 and 2001, productivity (as measured by output per hour) grew in six of the seven industries in the information sector for which BLS has measures.
Output per hour rose 15.7 percent per year among software publishers. Productivity growth in the telecommunications industries was also strong, with an increase of 9.9 percent per year posted by the wireless telecommunications industry and an increase of 6.2 percent per year registered by the wired telecommunications industry.
The one industry among the seven with a decline in productivity from 1987 to 2001 was cable and other subscription programming.
This information is from the BLS Productivity and Costs Program. Data are subject to revision. Additional information is available from "Productivity and Costs by Industry, 2001" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 03-490. This news release presents industry productivity and related series that are based, for the first time, on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

Garden State Italians Want 'Jersey Shore' Silenced
MTV is getting more pressure to cancel its 'Jersey Shore' reality show. The latest criticism comes from the New Jersey Italian American Legislative Caucus, which says the show promotes derogatory ethnic stereotypes and is "wildly offensive."
In a letter sent Tuesday to the president of Viacom, MTV's parent company, caucus chairman Joseph Vitale asks that the show be immediately taken off the air.
The state lawmakers also have asked advertisers to boycott the show, which focuses on eight tanned 20-somethings and their escapades in Seaside Heights, a popular New Jersey beach town.
On Wednesday, a Viacom spokesman referred a request for comment to an MTV spokesperson, who did not immediately respond. MTV has said its intention is not to stereotype or offend.

They are right. It is defamatory to keep portraying those Italians as black people...

These kids are actually being taken advantage of in a way by the reality show. They were likely chosen out of hundreds of applicants because of their ignorance and the probability that they would create drama and embarrass themselves and that we would all watch.... that is the basis for reality television - to watch the neighbors dirty laundry be aired - it's gossip on television that allows people to feel superior after they've watched it. The unfortunate thing is though that when these kids are adults and no longer able to garner a reality tv show, no one will want to hire them because of the way they acted on the show. They can look forward to a future of frustration when no one respects them and they are shunned by their former friends and neighbors. And once they have children, will they want their children to watch the gross disgusting things they have done? I don't think so. Their parents should have counseled them better when they were younger - but unfortunately, they are probably proud of them....
definitely ditto on that one caren , that is so true ppl don't think much about what they are doing now , and how it will effect they're future. Well I gotta say this is definitely not a show anyone could or would watch with kid's in the home I think this show is really offensive ,thank God for channel lock for kid's this a channel to for sure block out . I wonder if the mtv network was ever in financial problems what's up with all the reality show's dumb show's like rob dyrdek,nitro circus and the new jerk shore.where's the music ?
- Thursday 24 DecemberBy Petracca
Are we Italians... The swarthy emotional clowns of Europe that shows like this capitalize on displaying us as? Or is there something left in our blood/genetics of Cicero or Caesar, Dante or DaVinci? What do we know of the world of our ancient past, how many of us have mental continuity outside of the immediate present, to our cultural roots? Without roots a plant needs props...Are we mongrolized clowns...or is there still remaining something of the unique excellence of that old peninsula?

I actually LOVE this show, it's a very entertaining show. I live in Queens, NY and let me tell you that most Italians I know are EXACTLY like the people on the show, just step into any club in Long Island and you will be surrounded by them. I understand that not all Italians are like them but reality is that if you're Italian, in your 20's and living in NY or NJ you are just like them. So to everyone who criticizes the show get over it and if you don't like it then.. DON'T WATCH IT!!!
- Thursday 24 DecemberBy Anthony
This is who alot of us are growing up....leave it alone! I was born Italian (Sicilian), and raised in California. I am 53 now and see nothing wrong with this show, hell I acted just like them growing up! I went to college earned degrees and am very successful in my life! If the media in America would just let things go there wouldn't be as much prejudice in this great country of ours!

Well princess that may all be true , but it still doesn't justify airing such an offensive show ,you don't see show's about gender bender's or homeless ppl although very much a reality among an endless list of other realities. you don't see show's on those situation's. this show is just straight offensive junk and shouldn't of even gotten the time of day to air on any tv channel if that. how embarrassing for mrtv ( music,reality,tv)
- Thursday 24 DecemberBy napl
it works both ways..get rid of one ethnicity show..get rid of all.. bet has ethnic roots...so they must go too if jersey shore goes...maybe some of their shows and dances etc offend the jersey folks//????? gee grow up people....give me a break.. just dont watch it! as they use to say turn the channel tuner to your show of choice...dah!
- Thursday 24 DecemberBy Alexandra
I think this show is fine. I like it. If you just disreguard the fact that they're Italian, it's just like every other MTV show. To me, it seems like that store they work for only wants Italians there anyway? If the show is that offensive to you, don't watch it... it's not that hard to change the channel. MTV always gets obnoxious, loud mouthed, crazy people for their shows anyway, so to me, it's no different. I'm Italian too, and I'm not offended. You will find those type of people everywhere, no matter what race... MTV just found a bunch that are on Italian.
- Thursday 24 DecemberBy rugbymom
In Italy the term guido means nerd or loser. Loser fits these whackjobs to a tee. Fake tans, hair gel, lip gloss and that is just the guys. Italian men are momma's boys, who expect you to do everything for them including wipe their arse. Thanks, but no thanks. I will stick to pasty IRISH GUYS.

If you watch and enjoy this CRAP, you are a mental midget and you should be sterilized. I caught 30 seconds of it once by accident, and I can see that MTV is again attempting to dumb down America with their garbage. Shame on MTV and the fans and the sponsors of this sh*t.
napl it's not just the idea of turning the channel to something you like it's more of a moral issue .although the Jersey Shore in real life may be alot like what is on this show , but it's morally wrong to be showing and exposing what goes on you know like what happens in Vegas stay's in vegas.something of that nature so why make your immoralness be known over national tv.it just doesn't make sense. something's just weren't meant for tv ya know like this Jersey show.

Screening for Silent Atrial Fibrillation During Influenza Vaccination

- How to Read a Study Record
Silent atrial fibrillation is an important cause of unnecessary strokes. If diagnosed and treated in time with anticoagulants, many disabling strokes can be prevented. In order to improve the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation the MyDiagnostick is developed; a user friendly and easy to use stick that diagnoses atrial fibrillation in one minute. During influenza vaccination, many patients who are also at risk for atrial fibrillation visit the general practice. This offers an ideal opportunity for screening for atrial fibrillation. The study investigates the yield of screening for atrial fibrillation with the MyDiagnostick during influenza vaccination (newly detected atrial fibrillation with corresponding CHA2DS2-Vasc score).

This is my favorite time of the whole year, it is a time of glory and triumph. Truly this is the time that changed the world.
As we prepare to celebrate the sacrifice of our Lord, let us look at the things Jesus purchased for us on the cross of Calvary and by rising from the dead.
We have so much to be thankful for, among the many things the Lord has given, these are the best.
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Life was stolen from man at the Garden of Eden, man died spiritually at that point, but now because of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, we are truly alive, and we don't just have life in the ordinary sense of the word. This is a life that is full of joy, that makes you happy from the top of your head to the tip of your toes. It gives you something deep down on the inside that the world cannot take away nor can it give.
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life
Not only do we have life, that no one can take away, but we have the light of Life. Jesus was the light of the world, and here he is saying that we have the same light he does. That is just amazing. We have this treasure in earthen vessels, it is almost impossible for us to comprehend this gift, but that is what it is. We also have the privilege of letting this light, shine before this world.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid
We live in a world that is desperately seeking peace. People are trying literally anything, but the one thing that can and does bring real peace is a relationship with God. The cross of Calvary, was the way that God made his peace with Man, who had torn apart his relationship with God and had done nothing to repair it and couldn't repair it. God took the initiative and came to bring his creation, back in union with Him. When we have this relationship with the Lord, we can live in peace with our fellow man, at peace with ourselves and most importantly you have peace with God.
Luke 5:24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy), I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
The Lord Jesus, not only was able to forgive people's sins on earth, he is the reason that man can be forgiven. The only reason that people can be forgiven is because of the shed blood of Jesus on the cross. The apostle John, who watched the whole crucifixion, said these wonderful words in 1 John Ch 1:7-Ch 2:2
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1 John 2
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
He was and still is the perfect sacrifice, once and for all. Behold the spotless Lamb of God, who gives Life, light, peace and forgiveness to all who come to him. May you at this resurrection weekend come to trust Him as your precious Savior and Lord, if you haven't already.
Jesus died and rose again, for you. If there was just one of his creation, who lost his relationship with the Father, then Jesus, would have done the same thing.
What Jesus did for you, so many years ago, was to purchase your freedom and give you the keys to life.
Are you going to accept the free gift?

What are the answers?February 05,2013
What are the answers?
Does the mayor know how to use email?
I have politely and courteously sent emails to Mayor Thomas Lauzon over the past three weeks. I have yet to receive a response from him. If perhaps someone in his office reads this, would you give the mayor a quick tutorial on email? Thank you.
The two questions I am still waiting for him to answer for me are:
What would indicate an illegal sale in a parking lot that would draw the attention of your police? Would they check on every sidewalk sale of a vehicle or motorcycle? Would they run over to verify every sale or trade of cigarettes between two people to make sure theyre of age? Are they going to talk to everybody looking at and admiring a firearm in the parking lot? Seems almost like harassment of law-abiding citizens.
What is the ordinance you referred to? I read through the ordinances listed on the city of Barres home page, and didnt find anything relevant.
Again, as stated in my email, Im not one of your citizens but do travel through Barre quite often. I would appreciate the courtesy of a response to my emails.

The other day, as I often do, I caught myself staring at my 9-month old daughter. As she crawled across the floor toward me, with her ever-present smile plastered across her face, I noticed the Washington Redskins pajamas she had on.
And I thought, that it might just be a perfect metaphor for the Washington Redskins offense this season. The Redskins have shown vast improvement over last year, but they are still undoubtedly in the infantile stage of rebuilding.
The squad's two biggest offensive weapons, Robert Griffin III and Alfred Morris, are both rookies. They are newbies in the league, and ...

from the USDA
(Columbia) – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that grant applications are being accepted from qualified non-profit organizations and educational facilities to help rural cooperatives develop new markets for their products and services. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) remains focused on carrying out its mission, despite a time of significant budget uncertainty. Today's announcement is one part of the Department's efforts to strengthen the rural economy.
"This funding is part of the Obama Administration's effort to ensure the development of a rural economy built to last. This program supports business development services for rural cooperatives. These funds will promote start up, expansion and operational improvements as cooperatives work to grow and strengthen their businesses and provide sustainable, well-paying jobs to rural residents," said Vilsack.
USDA is offering Rural Cooperative Development Grants (RCDG) to non-profit corporations and institutions of higher education. The grants may be used to conduct feasibility studies, create business plans, help rural cooperatives develop markets and provide training for cooperative leadership. Grants are awarded competitively on an annual basis to Rural Cooperative Development Centers, which in turn provide technical assistance to individuals and cooperatives.
Missouri USDA – Rural Development State Director Janie Dunning commented, "Often rural cooperatives have great ideas for businesses, but need assistance in developing the idea or finding markets for products. This program allows organizations and colleges the opportunity to seek funds to assist rural cooperatives develop and enlarge their markets. Rural cooperatives have insight into the product assets of an area and can develop programs to enhance and bolster the local economy."
Through this notice, USDA may award up to $6.5 million in grants. The deadline for paper applications is July 15, 2013. Electronic copies are due July 10, 2013. For information on how to apply, see page 30848 of the May 23, 2013 Federal Register, http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-05-23/html/2013-12329.htm or contact the USDA Rural Development Missouri State Office at (573) 876-9321.
Individual grants of up to $200,000 are available. Grants may be used to pay for up to 75 percent (95 percent when the applicant is a 1994 Land Grant Institution) of the project's cost. Recipients are required to match 25 percent (5 percent for 1994 Land Grant Institutions) of the award amount.
The RCDG program and other USDA business and cooperate development programs have had a significant impact on rural communities. Business and cooperative program funding created or saved an estimated 53,000 rural jobs and helped almost 10,000 rural business owners or farmers improve their enterprises in 2012.
For example, in Rolla, MO, Missouri Incutech Foundation received a $96,000 Rural Cooperative Development Grant in 2012 to establish a Missouri Cooperative Development Center to focus on assisting and joining rural agriculture producers and purchasers. The center has sponsored training and workshops on the requirements for agriculture producers as it relates to retail/wholesale grocery markets and local farm fresh produce. As a result of the training and workshops, Circle B Ranch in Seymour, MO has been able to grow their product lines and establish new markets from their pastured heritage breed pork. Missouri Incutech Foundation has leveraged RCDG funds to help drive the local food economy in central and southwest Missouri.
President Obama's plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President's leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America's economy, small towns and rural communities. USDA's investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values. President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Vilsack are committed to a smarter use of Federal resources to foster sustainable economic prosperity and ensure the government is a strong partner for businesses, entrepreneurs and working families in rural communities.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has a portfolio of programs designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.
USDA has made a concerted effort to deliver results for the American people, even as USDA implements sequestration – the across-the-board budget reductions mandated under terms of the Budget Control Act. USDA has already undertaken historic efforts since 2009 to save more than $828 million in taxpayer funds through targeted, common-sense budget reductions. These reductions have put USDA in a better position to carry out its mission, while implementing sequester budget reductions in a fair manner that causes as little disruption as possible.

Padstow lifeboat launched after fire in fishing boat
Posted: January 20, 2014|

Padstow lifeboat crew went alongside the boat and found the fire in its engine had been put out.
The fishing boat was towed back to Padstow where firefighters from the town checked it over.
An investigation into the cause of the fire will take place later this morning.

This is one of many reports on the smog in Delhi this week. Those of us who have lived in Delhi for more than a few years know that this is what it used to be like, until the government made all public transport compressed natural gas (cng) run. The gains of that change have been rapidly lost as the number of private cars (many run on deisel) has grown and continues to grow each year. Despite the metro rail, improved buses and not very expensive (tho' meterless) autorickshaws Delhites have shown know inclination to stop driving. Yes, there are factories, power plants and brick kilns too. But, they were always there.
I'm breathing filth. I hate Delhi - everything about it even the air is now lethal. This is called dying a slow death.
Why such news was expected is with the upward revision of LPG gas which was used not only for cooking but heating water for bathing. People are changeing back to fuels like coal and wood. Further lower strata may be resorting to burning cardboard or even rubber tyres. So pl expect further worst situation as temprature drop further this winter.
It's April, and during the day the air is so much better, now. But why is it still
horrible at night? That's not from cars. It has a metallic taste to it; I am woken regularly by it. It starts every night around 10. What can it be? If it is illegal, who can or will enforce the law? Can I call the police to investigate? I'd appreciate any advice!

Inspired by a close up detail of a leaf on a plant I photographed growing in the local rain forest. I've used a wide variety of different greens to create the detail of the leaf veins and each piece was individually cut and applied using invisible machine applique.
Very nice! It takes me to the ferns of the Pacific Norhwest.......Good use of color.
I am very intrigued by your beautiful leaf quilt. What size is it? The fabrics are fabulous greens are my favorites!!! Looks like a blue ribbon winner to me.
Thank you Kammal and Colleen. This is quite a small quilt 17 inches x 21 inches. I love green too and I have more green in my stash than any other colour. If you are interested you can see how I went about making this quilt on my blog Anne's creative Threads under "Detail of Jungle Leaves Wall Hanging".
Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful!!!
Thanks Karen.
Anne, I have just viewed your blog and the details of this fabulous leaf design. I am totally overwhelmed at your talent and creativity. The tutorial on fabric painting has certainly peaked my curiosity! Especially the piece with the blue sky and green foreground. AMAZING WORK!!! I would love to follow your blog but not sure how, could you please advise? My blog is:
colleen-colleensquilting journey.blogspot.com
I noticed you had Tammy at Quilt Pictures.com on your list --- I also have quilts on her site with stories for most of them.
Thank you for sharing.
Truly exquisite work. I read through your blog and was very interested in your techniques; one especially is the paintsticks rubbed over the leaves. I have paintsticks and not used them yet, but I will certainly try this method with your tips. Thank you so much for sharing and adding so much detail with photos in your explanations.
thank you for your comments about my work and my blog. It's a great pleasure for me to be able to share some of what I do because living here in Brunei, in South East Asia, I am rather isolated from the quilting world, so it is great to be able to communicate with others through the internet.
I have just got my paintstiks project out again as it has been sitting in a cupboard for a few months waiting to be finished. While I was trying to match fabric for something else I suddenly thought of it again as the fabric was just what I wanted for the borders. Today I added the borders and am now just in the middle of quilting it so once it is finished I'll write it up in my blog and post a picture to the gallery.

One of the biggest energy industry gatherings kicks-off this morning in Houston: the Offshore Technology Conference — better known as OTC. It'll feature the latest equipment to drill under the ocean for oil and gas. Many sessions will focus on what has changed since the 2010 Deepwater Horizon tragedy. Industry-wide, the industry spotlight has been on land and the drilling technique called "fracking." Reporter Dave Fehling talked with the chairman of the OTC, Steve Balint.

Minnesota Department of Corrections
Division Directive: 500.522 Title: Negative Pressure Isolation Rooms
Issue Date: 7/15/14
Effective Date: 8/5/14
AUTHORITY: Division Directive 500.010, "Health Services"
PURPOSE: To separate offenders who have suspected or confirmed infectious tuberculosis (TB) from other persons; to provide an environment that allows reduction of the concentration of droplet nuclei through various engineering methods; and to prevent the escape of droplet nuclei from such rooms into the corridor and other areas of the correctional facility using directional airflow.
APPLICABILITY: Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC); all facilities with negative pressure isolation rooms
DIRECTIVE: The department must keep offenders with suspected or confirmed infectious TB disease in isolation rooms under negative pressure to induce air flow into the room from all surrounding areas (e.g., corridors, ceiling plenums, plumbing chases, etc).
Negative pressure – the minimum pressure difference necessary to achieve and maintain negative pressure that results in airflow into the room is 0.001 inch of water.
A. Monitoring negative pressure isolation rooms when in use
1. The facility safety administrator must begin monitoring immediately prior to or upon the isolation of an offender with suspected or confirmed infectious TB.
2. The facility safety administrator must monitor the negative pressure isolation rooms daily.
3. The supervising lieutenant/designee must conduct daily testing using one of the following procedures. The supervising lieutenant/designee must:
a) Ensure the offender in the room is wearing a surgical mask.
b) Hold non-irritating smoke near the bottom and approximately two inches in front of the door, or at the face of a grill, or other opening if the door has such a feature. Generate a small amount of smoke. The smoke must be held parallel to the door, and the smoke must be issued slowly to ensure the velocity of the smoke does not overpower the air velocity. If an anteroom exists, the direction of the airflow must be tested at the inner door between the isolation room and the anteroom.
c) Move the smoke generator along the bottom of the door.
d) Ensure the room is under negative pressure, by observing the smoke traveling under the door and into the room. If the room is not under negative pressure, the smoke will be blown outward or remain stationary.
4. Staff must check the pressure differential gauge daily (if equipped with) and document it on the room log with the date, time, and initials.
5. If the room is not under negative pressure, the offender must continue to wear a mask until repairs are completed, and a successful smoke test is achieved. If the room cannot be repaired within six hours, the offender must be transported, via ambulance, to the emergency room.
B. Monitoring negative pressure isolation room when not in use - the unit supervising lieutenant/designee must:
1. Conduct monthly non-irritating smoke tests as described in Procedure A; and
2. Document the results on the Negative Pressure Isolation Room Log (attached).
C. The facility safety administer retains all documentation of the negative airflow monitoring process and approved equipment.
D. If the room is not equipped with an anteroom, the facility safety administrator must develop instructions to minimize entry of contaminated air to the corridor. Instructions may include such examples as: minimizing entry into the room, adjusting the hydraulic closer to slow the door movement, and reducing displacement effects.
E. Staff must ensure that air exhausted from the rooms is safely exhausted directly outside, and not recirculated into the general ventilation system. If not exhausted through a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, the air is exhausted away from intake vents, operable doors and/or windows, and sidewalks.
F. Communication of hazards - staff must:
1. Post instructions on the door, including:
a) The signal word, "stop;"
b) "Airborne isolation;" and
c) A description of the necessary precautions to take.
2. Label ventilation system components that transport contaminated air with a biological hazard label.
3. Identify and label circuit breakers to prevent unplanned shutdown of the dedicated ventilation system.
G. Cleaning rooms in use - staff must:
1. Use an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved germicide or disinfectant in the routine daily cleaning of isolation rooms;
2. Follow isolation practices while cleaning these rooms;
3. Allow the offender, when appropriate, clean his/her room; and
4. Wipe down cleaning equipment used in the room with an EPA approved germicide or disinfectant before being reissued.
H. Cleaning vacated rooms - staff must:
1. Ventilate the room in accordance with the Air Changes Per Hour Chart (attached) to achieve 99.9% efficacy in removing airborne contaminants;
2. Document the cleaning in the Negative Pressure Isolation Room Log; and
3. After proper ventilation, allow the area offender cleaners to complete the final clean-up using an EPA approved germicide or disinfectant, without using special personal protective equipment other than that required by normal usage of the cleaning chemical.
1. Outside the room
a) Safety administrator approved respirators; and
b) A contaminated linen hamper with lid (soiled linen and waste is handled using standard precautions).
2. Inside the room
a) Garbage holder for contaminated waste;
b) Plastic aprons or gowns; and
c) Disposable gloves.
J. All staff entering an air borne isolation room must wear a National Institute of Occupation Safety and Health (NIOSH) respirator with a minimum filtering efficiency of N-95. The staff wearing respiratory protection must be medically certified and trained. Staff wearing tight-fitting negative pressure respirators must have successfully completed a fit test. Only trained essential staff may enter the room.
A. The facility safety administrator retains documentation of required negative airflow monitoring processes and approved equipment.

(CNN)Here's a look at the Nobel Prize, an international award given yearly for achievements in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, Economics, and Peace.
The 2015 Nobel Prize Laureates will be announced October 5th-12th.
The 2014 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to India's Kailash Satyarthi and Pakistan's Malala Yousafzai for their struggles against the suppression of children and for young people's rights, including the right to education.
Nobel prize recipients are called laureates.
The Nobel Committee keep the names of laureate nominees confidential for fifty years before they are released to the public.
The award consists of a medal, a personal diploma, and a cash prize (8-million Swedish kroner (SEK) - approximately $955,400 U.S. dollars as of September 2015).
The main inscription on one side of the Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, and Literature Nobel Prize medals is the same: "Inventas vitam juvat excoluisse per artes," loosely translated, "And they who bettered life on earth by new found mastery." Word for word translation, "inventions enhance life which is beautified through art."
The Peace medal has the inscription "Pro pace et fraternitate gentium," translated, "For the peace and brotherhood of men."
The Economics medal has no inscription.
Nobel prizes are announced in advance but awarded on December 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death.
The Nobel Prizes for Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature and Economics are awarded at a ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden.
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded at its own ceremony in Oslo, Norway. Periodically, no prize has been awarded. This happened most recently in 1972.
The number of winners is limited to three per category.
A person must be alive to be nominated. If they die during the consideration period, their name will be removed. Only if a person is announced as a winner and dies prior to the ceremony, will a posthumous award be given.
The Nobel Foundation protects the common interests of the Prize Awarding institutions: the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Swedish Academy, Karolinska Institutet, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
1866 - Swedish chemist, engineer and industrialist Alfred Nobel invents dynamite. He later builds companies and laboratories in more than 20 countries around the world.
December 10, 1896 - Nobel dies in Italy at the age of 63. His will endows awards in five categories: Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, and Peace.
June 29, 1900 - The Nobel Foundation is established. It is the central body of the Nobel organization responsible for awarding the Nobel Prizes.
1901 - The first Nobel Prizes are awarded.
1939-1943 - No Nobel Peace Prizes are awarded.
1968 - A sixth award, Economics, is added by the Bank of Sweden (Sveriges Riksbank) in the memory of Alfred Nobel.

Lighthouse Project: Our Future, Our Choices: Future vision - City of Marco Island
Who: City of Marco Island.

Enhance Marco Island's quality of life, environmental quality and tropical small town and resort character by managing growth and assuring a stable residential community with sufficient businesses to serve the needs of residents and visitors.
Provide a thoughtful, multi-faceted housing program that will advance decent, safe and affordable housing options and opportunities both on and off Marco Island.
Assure a sufficient, dependable and high-quality water supply to meet the needs of Marco Island in a timely way, with a reasonable cost and to comply with federal and state requirements to protect the health and safety of the public.

"We pay attention to it, just as a board of directors would pay attention to a company's long-term plans. That's what council does. I rely more so on staff as we get into... looking to the future. But you've got to have a long-term plan."

Steve Ott unveils Sabres' new third jersey and it's awful
More NHL offseason: Rumors | Top 50 Free Agents | Buyout Tracker | Trades | Transactions
After a long, long (way too long) wait, the Buffalo Sabres' alternate jersey for the upcoming season has been revealed. We can thank Steve Ott for getting it done. I think.
The day began with the Sabres released another tease of the jersey, something they've been doing all summer. It was hardly revealing.
Your favorite part of the week... here's a *NEW* sneak peek of our third jersey this year! pic.twitter.com/tO3Is5okID— Buffalo Sabres (@BuffaloSabres) September 4, 2013
That got a lot of reaction on Twitter, including from Ott who demanded to see more. Soon enough he began to threaten he would reveal it himself as he got his hands on a sweater. A short while later Ott tweeted out the two pictures above in what became apparent as a designed viral reveal by the franchise. Well done in that regard. That's about the only regard..
Because the jersey is still getting a lot of reaction, just probably not the kind the Sabres were hoping for. Those things are awful. That sweater might surpass the Islanders' third for the worst not only in hockey but in sports. The best way they can be described is that it looks like the knock-off jersey you buy on the discount rack at your local Marshall's or Wal-Mart. What's up with the different color front and back?
Or what about the gray on the ends of the sleeves that run up to the chest? Why is gray being introduced at all? They took the color scheme that the Predators dumped a few years ago and put it into this sweater. Then there's the very subtle "Buffalo" at the top of the crest. Either put the team/city name on the jersey or don't, it's as if they couldn't decide.
I admit I really liked the idea of a gold jersey for the Sabres' third when I heard about it. The execution though? Ugh. A summer of waiting and hyping up the jersey only for that to be the final product? Talk about a letdown.

In the Christian scriptures, the psalmist writes that the right living person is "like a tree planted by streams of water that yields fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, who consistently prospers.†But a few psalms later we read: "My bones are in agony. My soul is in anguish. How long, O Lord, how long? …I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears.â€
Throughout history, there have been many individuals who have suffered what has been termed a "Dark night of the soul.†The human experience is full of hardships: sickness and accidents; disappointments, strained and broken relationships. Difficulties in life will come and we must not allow them to keep us down.
A clear understanding of the value of these hardships will make it possible to have a positive attitude in the face of struggle. Here are some points for you to consider as you face the troubles that you are either dealing with now or are sure to face in the future: 1) Adversity can both mature us and can bring out the best in us; 2) Suffering and distress can produce perseverance and endurance.
Perseverance is not a passive acceptance of circumstances. Perseverance instead refers to the ability to display steadfastness and constancy in the face of the most formidable difficulty. It is a courageous resolve in the face of suffering. It is continuing on even when times are tough, no matter the circumstances. Hard times can have a purifying quality; they are the arena in which, and the process through which, a trial transforms into a blessing.
Too often, we want to get our difficulties over with quickly. There are times when the best course is to bear up patiently instead of grumbling and complaining. We need to endure, and to continue doing well, understanding that perhaps the trial is meant to refine something in our life.
Marines understand the value of resistance training and they know that the slogan, "Pain is weakness leaving the body.†And they know that to keep their edge, they must patiently endure the pain of increased resistance. Though often not enjoyable in the moment, resistance training pays dividends in the long run.
Letting a trial do its perfect work is not easy. If we wish to run the race of life well we need to develop patience. That patience, in turn, will come only through a form of "resistance training,†that consists of doing well in enduring the misfortunes of life.
Our goal should be to turn trials into triumph. Remember that patient endurance of adversity can accomplish much good and spirituality can be a powerful tool in developing the wisdom to help us gain a proper perspective toward our hardships.
