LAS VEGAS (AP) - Health officials say a stomach bug is going around in the Las Vegas area, and they've identified norovirus as the cause.
Southern Nevada Health District officials report Wednesday that they've seen an increase in cases of gastrointestinal illness in the past few weeks.
Tami Bruno of the epidemiology office says an investigation began March 28 when people at a conference at the Planet Hollywood started coming down sick.
But Bruno says the illness has been reported around the valley, including at private parties and in long-term care facilities.
Norovirus is a common virus that brings symptoms including vomiting, diarrhea and cramps. It's contagious and can't be treated with antibiotics.
Officials say sick people should stay home from work or school until at least three days after their symptoms have ended.

I have an old account but I haven't posted in a long time, can't remember the email I registered with so I started this account. Anyway, I've ripped my CD collection several times (once at 128kbps, then again at 192kbps, then again at v0) each time with Easy CD-DA Extractor. Didn't always rip all at once, but the settings were pretty much the same till I changed so many CDs could have been ripped with different LAME versions as well.
Anyway, I'm sticking with v0 and I'm ready to re-do the entire collection at the same time with the same LAME version and settings. I don't want to be kicking myself again in a few years so I wouldn't mind a few opinions before I do everything and realize I did something incorrectly again in a few years.
After reading this forum a lot, the Exact Audio Copy wiki, and general Google searches, this is my final:
Software: Exact Audio Copy (0.99 Prebeta 4)
LAME: 3.98.4-vc6
Command Line: -V 0 --id3v2-only --ta "%a" --tl "%g" --tn "%n" --tt "%t" --ty "%y" --tg "%m" --tc "rbm (eac secure mode)" %s %d
I'm looking for the highest quality v0, rip time doesn't matter. From my reading this is the best command line I can get, am I missing anything?
Also, it seems like LAME 3.98.4 is highly recommended, is there a different version I should be using?

There is no such thing as 'uncompressed' flac. It is a lossless form of compression similar to a zip file. Level 0 is larger file size/faster encoding. -8 is smallest file size/slowest encoding. However modern cpus with more than one core will encode even -8 far faster than your cd drive can physically read the disc, which is why I always use it (Why waste space if there's no benefit?). You can expand flac back to its original wav state, burn it to audio cd and it will always be the same, no loss in sound quality, again just like a zip file.
If the space on your iphone isn't an issue, -V0 is just fine if you aren't interested in doing abx testing to identify your transparency threshold, and you simply want that 'insurance' that you aren't losing sound quality. If space becomes an issue later on, consider doing some testing.
Also, since I am unfamiliar with dbpoweramp, does it do accuraterip checking to make sure your cdrip has been, well, accurately ripped? If not I won't sick the EAC brigade on you, but simply suggest you grab the free software cuetools, and check your ripped albums to make sure there are no errors.

If the Faculty Senate accepts this proposal, the Wright State General Education program will be more balanced, more consistent, more flexible, and more likely to be effective in accomplishing its original objectives. The framework has been designed to a ccomplish several goals, most importantly to improve the environment for students' intellectual growth, to meet better the curricular needs of the university's major programs, to reduce reliance on 400+ seat classes, and to preserve or enhance writing across the curriculum.
The proposed new framework will enable faculty to provide a curriculum in GE that is more balanced across the four areas required in the Ohio transfer module, i.e. writing and mathematics; natural sciences; social sciences; and, humanities. This proposa l also gives added flexibility to departments and colleges that offer courses in GE, enabling them to expand the list of courses that may be taken to meet GE requirements, as recommended by the College of Liberal Arts "GE Reform: A Three Part Strategy" me morandum of August, 1997. Undergraduate colleges and schools will enjoy the option of designing or designating a course under the "College Component." This component can be used to address particular needs in a college or school to connect general ed ucation to specific work in a major program, an important innovation when accreditation requirements have grown more demanding and complex.
By converting the GE curriculum to a consistent, 4 credit base, as recommended in this report, student learning may be enhanced in several ways. Students and faculty will be able to explore their subjects in greater depth while on a quarter system. Stud ents enrolled in GE will be able to maintain full-time enrollment status while registering for fewer courses. Moreover, an expansion to a four credit base opens the possibility of curricular content expansion to include, for example, systematic attent ion to international and/or American diversity issues.
These revisions address the concerns raised by the NCA Report (1996), the Schoenberg Report for the American Association of American Colleges (1993),the 1992-1994 GE Task Force, and the WSU Strategic Plan (1997). The recommended changes will advance ou r shared interest in expanding opportunities for student-faculty interaction, and providing an instructional context that promotes the development of our students' intellectual skills.
In the eleventh year of this General Education program, faculty face an important responsibility to address the need for change in the way we structure and offer the educational core of our undergraduates' curriculum. This framework will allow us to reco ncile better our resources in terms of faculty and classroom space with the delivery of a General Education program that serves our students better in the cultivation of the knowledge and skills essential to meet the challenges and opportunities of the tw enty-first century.

Rheem Launches Second-Annual Chasing the Cure Breast Cancer Awareness Program
Rheem partners with Richard Childress Racing and Eddie Sharp Racing for charitable effort benefiting Young Survival Coalition
ATLANTA (September 28, 2012)
—For the second year in a row, Rheem and its racing partners, Richard Childress Racing (RCR) and Eddie Sharp Racing (ESR), will commemorate National Breast Cancer Awareness Month by sponsoring Rheem Chasing the Cure—a charitable program benefiting Young Survival Coalition (YSC). Established in 1998, YSC was the first nonprofit organization to focus exclusively on the unique needs of young women diagnosed with breast cancer. Each year, approximately 70,000 men and women ages 15 to 39 are diagnosed with cancer in the United States, and breast cancer accounts for roughly 15 percent of all cancers in this age group (source: "Closing the Gap: Research and Care Imperatives for Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer").
The multi-faceted Rheem Chasing the Cure program will feature special pink and black paint schemes on the No. 29 Rheem Chevrolet in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series® and the No. 33 Rheem Chevrolet Silverado in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series®, a video contest for Rheem Racing Facebook fans, Rheem Chasing the Cure themed merchandise—including an exclusive silk scarf designed in YSC's colors, and more.
Rheem and ESR will debut a pink and black paint scheme on the No. 33 Rheem Chasing the Cure Chevrolet Silverado, driven by Cale Gale, for the Oct. 6 Camping World Truck Series "Coca-Cola 250 powered by fred's" at Talladega Superspeedway (Ala.); the truck will run again on Oct. 27 in the "Kroger 200" at Martinsville Speedway (Va.). Driver Gale will wear a custom-designed pink and black firesuit in both races.
"The women and men of Rheem are pleased to use our partnerships with Richard Childress, Eddie Sharp and their fine organizations to support the valuable work of YSC. Through the efforts of YSC and those of so many other worthwhile organizations, we are confident that the Chase for a breast cancer cure will have an eventual happy ending," said Ed Raniszeski, Rheem corporate director, strategic relations.
Rheem and RCR will feature a similar pink and black paint scheme on the No. 29 Rheem Chasing the Cure Chevrolet, driven by Kevin Harvick, for the Oct. 28 Sprint Cup Series "Tums Fast Relief 500" at Martinsville Speedway. Harvick will also wear a Rheem Chasing the Cure pink and black firesuit in this race.
Beginning Oct. 1, Rheem will launch a contest on its Rheem Racing Facebook fan page to garner support for breast cancer awareness. The contest will encourage breast cancer survivors to share a 30- to 60-second video testimonial that details their "victory" over breast cancer. Rheem, RCR, ESR and YSC will select five semi-finalists from the entries received through Oct. 21. Then, Rheem Racing Facebook fans have until the end of the month to vote for their favorite video. The video with the most votes at the end of the month will be this year's winner. Rheem will award the winner and an adult companion with a VIP trip and racing experience in 2013.
Rheem will also offer Chasing the Cure-themed merchandise for the program. This year's merchandise will include a beautiful pink silk scarf with a subtle YSC logo that will be available for a limited time on Rheem.com—beginning the week of Oct. 1—for $20, plus shipping and handling. NASCAR fans will quickly recognize the scarf, as women throughout the sport will be wearing it at various races during October. In addition, Motorsports Authentics® has developed commemorative men's and women's T-shirts and hats, and Lionel NASCAR Collectables® created a special die-cast car. Chasing the Cure apparel and die-cast cars will be sold at all NASCAR races through the remainder of the 2012 season, while supplies last. Proceeds from Rheem Chasing the Cure merchandise sales will be donated to YSC.
"YSC feels honored to partner with Rheem on its Chasing the Cure program," commented Jennifer Merschdorf, CEO of Young Survival Coalition. "We are grateful for the commitment Rheem, RCR and ESR have shown to the quarter of a million women living in the U.S. today who were diagnosed before their 41st birthday and to raising awareness among NASCAR's fans and the greater general public that young women can and do get breast cancer."
In addition, Rheem employees will be fully engaged with the Chasing the Cure program through an employee photo contest, open to Rheem employees and their immediate family members, and fundraising activities.

Glidecam HD-2000 for D800?

I bought one for my D800. I put it together, but I haven't balanced it yet. I'll give myself a good 10-20 hours of practice of videos before the actual assignment.
The quick release isn't that quick. After reading reviews recommending it, I added one of these since it matches my tripod: http://www.adorama.com/BG394.html I haven't gotten it into a position yet where it doesn't twist slightly.
My video project isn't until next month. If you set it up with a 14-24 2.8, I'd love to know your settings.

With Easter around the corner, I've got ham on my mind.
With Easter around the corner, I've got ham on my mind. I stopped in HoneyBaked Ham at Belden Village last week to check out prices, and luckily happened upon the company's buy-one-get-one-free ham bone deal.
I picked out two bones, each weighing about 3.7 pounds — and paid just $11 for both.
Banish thoughts of bare bones. An abundance of HoneyBaked's signature ham is left on the bone, nicely spiraled and coated with that infamous crunchy sweet glaze. There was so much meat in fact, that I pulled off enough for several sandwiches before tossing the bone in a stock pot for bean soup. Boiled and picked clean, the bone yielded several cups of ham, making for one deliciously hearty soup.
The excess meat also is great for recipes, such as HoneyBaked's Tomato, Ham and Asparagus Baked Eggs (see below).
Bones are sold frozen and individually packaged, while supplies last. Find them in the self-serve case by the window. HoneyBaked is at 5246 Dressler Road NW. Call 330-966-772 or visit www.honeybakedham.com.
Tomato, ham and asparagus baked eggs
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup diced HoneyBaked Ham
1⁄4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes, minus seeds, but with juices
Salt and pepper
8 eggs
2⁄3 cup grated Romano cheese
8-10 spears asparagus, trimmed
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, add onion and sauté for 7 minutes. Add mushrooms, cook for 4 more minutes. Add ham, red pepper and tomatoes to skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and divide among 4 shallow 5 or-6-inch greased casseroles or ramekins. Make a small well in the middle of the mixture in each dish and break 2 eggs into each dish. Divide Romano cheese among 4 dishes and sprinkle over the eggs. Set aside.
Cut asparagus into 2 inch pieces and place in a microwave safe container. Cover and microwave for 3 minutes. Divide and arrange asparagus on top of eggs.
Season with a little fresh ground pepper and cover each with aluminum foil. Bake until eggs are almost set, approximately 8 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serves 4
Adapted from HoneyBaked Ham
This time of year, at the threshold between winter and spring, soup is a great meal choice. You can go light or hearty, depending on the season's erratic weather. One soup that won't disappoint no matter the temperature is Panera Bread's All-Natural Bistro French Onion Soup. It tastes every bit as good as homemade, with sweet onions simmered in a rich broth infused with sherry wine and topped with Gruyere cheese and Asiago croutons. It's served with a chunk of fresh bread. Offered daily. A cup is $4.19, a bowl is $5.29.
Page 2 of 2 - SPRING TREAT
Happy first day of spring. Celebrate with butterfly treat bags, a simple, inexpensive and family-friendly way to usher in the season. To make the craft, gather sealable plastic bags, clothespins, pipe cleaners, paint or magic markers, googly eyes and glue. And of course, don't forget the snacks.

You thought we were done with the green dress didn't you? Considering how fantastic Wifey's luscious cleavage looks bulging out of the top of it and how fantastic her shaved pussy looks straining through her panties under it, it seemed worth another look. This time we take the before and after approach. The before being Wifey's 34 f all natural titties tightly contained by her low cut dress. The after being Wifey's voluptuous boobs swaying in the breeze after being friend from their emerald prison. And for those following along with the Summer of Wifey, yes, these shots fit nicely with our sexy summer theme of Wifey topless and nude outdoors!

Repair work leaves positive impression of Cedar City
Recently I drove my wife from our home in Salmon, Idaho, to Scottsdale, Ariz., for some back surgery. On the way, we stopped in Cedar City for gas.
While there, a person approached me and said that I had a problem with my trailer. He showed me the problem and offered to fix it at his repair shop.
At his shop, he offered some solutions and did a temporary fix that he said would safely last until I could complete my trip to Scottsdale and back home. When I attempted to pay him, there was "no charge" and he would not accept any payment. He was a very honest, caring person who I would trust. Needless to say, on our return trip we stopped and had him do a permanent fix.
Observing his work, I found he was very knowledgeable and professional. He left me with a great impression of the businessmen and citizens of Cedar City. It is a place that I would enjoy visiting again and even possibly living in at some time. He is an asset to your community, and I would recommend him to you for your repair needs.
His name is Beau Gledhill and his business is located in the Sinclair Station at 1495 W. 200 North.

Reread letter; sheriffs are doing their jobs
The March 5 letter writer needs to read the letter again from the Utah Sheriff's Association. What they are stating in their letter is that any discussions or changes to firearms laws need to come from Congress and not through an executive order. They are stating that they will defend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and protect the citizens of their prospective counties.
This is the law they have sworn to uphold. There is nothing selective about that. I'm quite confident these county sheriffs would take the same stance if your freedom of speech or right to assemble were being infringed in this same manner.
I would like to suggest, sir, that you read the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights and take the time to look up the definition of "infringement."
If the letter writer is uncomfortable with the gun laws of Utah, most of which have been in effect for decades, perhaps he should consider moving to someplace where all these laws, restrictions and suppression you wish for are already in place. I'm confident you'd feel much safer there.

It is necessary to isolate the various processes of accelerated sediment loadings in order to identify relative source contributions and to appropriately prescribe effective and practical mitigation. Not all land uses that present a high risk for sediment problems occur on unstable lands, nor are they necessarily associated with poor practices. Thus, it is necessary to identify and inventory the locations, nature, and extent of land uses that allow for an initial assessment of potential sediment source problems. The assessment analyst must know
- how various land use practices affect sediment production;
- how increased sediment is generated;
- whether or not stream systems can accommodate sediment increases/decreases; and
- the consequences of changes in sediment and sediment related processes. The assessment methodology is designed to provide the tools to help answer these questions.
The discussion on the following pages provides a detailed summary of key principles associated with sediment sources and natural channel processes. For easy reference to specific subsections, use the links to the topics listed in the box to the right.

Went to InterVarsity's Ignite 2010 conference this past weekend. It was awesome to see students passionate for God and passionate to hear him. Here is the video summary of the conference.
Don't waste your life – passion to glorify God
So I started reading Don't Waste Your Life by John Piper and it's pretty interesting so far. One of the points that caught my attention was what he defined as a wasted life. He says, "God created me – and you – to live with a single, all-embracing, all-transforming passion – namely, a passion to glorify God by enjoying and displaying his supreme excellence in all the spheres of life…The wasted life is the life without a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples."
I found this interesting because it really made me think if I enjoy and display his supreme excellence in all spheres of my life. I find that I sometimes will display his excellence without enjoying it. However, the joy in glorifying him will pour out from within me and display it for others to see. There are still a lot of parts of my life where I can do a better job in having a passion to glorify God.
As I read more from this book, I plan to share more about what God is teaching me from this book of how to not waste my life.
Slow Down
In today's society, everything is about doing as many things at once in the shortest amount of time. When we do this though, we tend to forget to stop and appreciate the things we enjoy most in life. It's getting close to finals time for many and the pressure and stress makes it tough to just stop, but sometimes we need that break. I want to encourage you to take at least 5 minutes each day to just stop everything you're doing and relax. I personally like to go outside, pray and just enjoy the weather. You'll definitely be more refreshed and less anxious. So slow down, take a break, enjoy life!
The Nehemiah Band to perform on October 31
We will also be having Legacy Movement merchandise!
We are excited to see you all there!

In contrast with what many people think, men also get affected when their female companions-married or single but sexually active-go through the menopausal period. The psychological and physiological shifts it brings about can negatively impact relationships and even alter the dynamics of intimacy. It might even spark a breakdown in marriages or the conclusion of any physical intimacy.
When a natural physiological function ends, it may be a painful experience if not managed properly. Women may be vulnerable to frequent mood changes at the onset of, during, and even right after menopause. This could make family life difficult not only for the woman, but also for other members of the family. As other family members might not fully understand the situation, the emotional anxiety can trigger a lot of disputes.
A woman experiences menopause when her ovaries discontinue producing eggs, thus making her unable to bear children. In addition, it puts an end to a woman's reproductive years, leading to a sudden change in her hormonal levels. The end of a woman's menstrual period commonly happens between 47 and 53, but can also come earlier or later based on various factors, which are sometimes genetic.
There's a widespread misconception that the younger generation might be extra active in sex than their senior counterparts because of the "newness" of the experience. Conversely, research in a number of countries has shown the opposite-men can be more active in sex as they get older, while middle-aged ladies have improved sex lives. The latter seems to bedue to women's fears regarding the effects of menopause.
Middle-aged women may attempt to maximize their time prior to the start of menopause and take part in more intimate activities. Although menopause can lower a woman's intimate cravings, she can still seek out professional assistance to abate its side effects via bio identical hormone replacement therapy. This procedure can help women that have gone through menopause and give remedy to their erotic worries.
Sex can be quite painful for women who're in the menopausal stage. Nevertheless, regardless of their lower sex drive, some women refuse to stop trying to please their partners. A bioidentical hormone replacement procedure can help the woman and her spouse meet their sexual preferences. It may also ease the vaginal signs of menopause like dryness, burning, itching, and some other types of irritation.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can alleviate hot flashes, mood swings, headaches, anxiety attacks and other detrimental effects of menopause. It may also provide some protection against heart disease, colorectal cancer, and osteoporosis. Menopause is unavoidable for women, but it should not put a stop to intimacy with their husbands.

There have been few empirical studies that assess the impact of participation in trauma-focused research. To contribute to growing knowledge in this area, this study assessed the effects of research participation among 14 women who had been bereaved by homicide. An adapted version of the Response to Research Participation Questionnaire (RRPQ) was implemented as part of a wider study exploring secondary victimization by criminal justice systems; at the end of a qualitative interview, participants were asked three questions designed to assess benefits, harms and regrets associated with participation. All participants gained something positive from participation; half experienced upset; but none regretted participation. Suggestions are made for how researchers can minimize harm and maximize benefit to vulnerable research participants.

A suspect was arrested today following a shooting at a Roswell, N.M., middle school that left at least two teenagers critically injured, according to local news media reports.
A 14-year-old boy and 13-year-old girl were airlifted in critical condition to a Lubbock, Texas, hospital with injuries, according to a University Medical Center spokesperson, KOB-TV reports. The 14-year-old victim was likely the target, the Associated Press reported.

In 1986 the crew of the ill fated USS Enterprise NCC 1701 slingshot around the sun aboard a Klingon ship to earth of the past. Kirks crew are called back to earth to face nine criminal charges of Starfleet regulations. Its looking pretty serious for our Enterprise buddies who decide to face the music. Along the way the HMS Bounty encounters a mysterious alien probe of unknown origin threatening to destroy all life on Earth. The probe is apparently calling out to humpback whales and vaporising earths oceans and atmosphere in the process. Spock quickly surmises Earth's predicament. SPOCK: Fascinating. If my suspicion is correct, there can be no response to this message. Why? Because the Probes transmissions are the songs sung by whales! Isn't that wonderful?
Star Trek IV the Voyage Home is a delightful, fun movie with Whalesongs! Its rebel crew and a light hearted Mr Spock (not exactly firing on all thrusters) attempt time travel in search of two humpback whales. George and Gracie. When the HMS Bounty lands in the City by the Bay, Sulu engages the Cloaking Device. San Francisco is the focal point in time where Starfleet's finest beam down and begin their rescue operation. Scotty builds the whale tanks with transparent aluminium and re-energizes the de-crystallising dilithium crystals using high energy photons drained from a 'nuclear wessel.' Mr Spocks colorful metaphors and Kirk's "Well, double dumbass on you" demonstrates the lighter plot of the movie which fans totally enjoyed.
KIRK: That's all there is. Don't splurge. All set? Good hunting. ...Well, Spock, here we are, thanks to your restored memory and a little bit of good luck, we're walking the streets of San Francisco looking for a couple of humpback whales. How do you propose to solve this minor problem?
SPOCK: Simple logic will suffice. I believe I shall begin by making use of this map. I have the distance and bearing which were provided by Commander Uhura. If we juxtapose our coordinates we should be able to find our destination. It lies at two eight three point seven degrees...
(a bus with an advertisement on the side pulls up). I love watching this movie because during the voyage we get to enjoy the hilarious comedy as the crew fumble around in twentieth century San Francisco. The interplay between Spock, Kirk and Dr McCoy is priceless with Dr Mc Coy going off the deep end for good reason.
KIRK: What do you mean?
McCOY: Him? I mean him (Mr Spock), back at his post, like nothing happened. I don't know if you've got the whole picture but he isn't exactly working on all thrusters.
KIRK: It'll come back to him.
McCOY: Are you sure? ...That's what I thought.

Durango Welcome Center
In May of 2012, the Durango Welcome Center opened in the heart of the Historic Downtown.
Located at the corner of Main Ave. and 8th St. (802 Main), the Durango Welcome Center is a one-stop "information" shop for all that Durango and surrounding La Plata County offers to visitors and locals.
Its realization is a result of a unique collaboration of four key entities: Durango Business Improvement District (BID), Durango Area Tourism Office (DATO), Fort Lewis College (FLC) and the City of Durango, plus key support from FASTSIGNS of Durango and a broad cross-section of the community.
The Center is a go-to location for tickets, updates on attractions and events, plus comprehensive information regarding educational opportunities at Fort Lewis College, Durango's in-town, four-year institution of higher learning.
In calendar year 2013, over 102,000 people visited the Durango Welcome Center. The Durango Visitor's Center, located at Santa Rita Park in the Durango Chamber of Commerce Building, saw over 40,000 people come through that facility.
Tickets – Restaurants – Durango Activities – Fort Lewis College – Restrooms
The interiors of the Welcome Center include oversized dioramas, which, at a glance inform visitors of the variety of experiences available. At floor level, the main area of the Center features decorated "vignettes" sponsored by different entities including the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, Durango Mountain Resort and the Southern Ute Indian Tribe and more.
Fort Lewis College, in addition to its vignette, offers van tours of the campus during the day. The Center is also the Ticket Office for the Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College. Short term parking for ticket pick-up is available on 8th St. adjacent to the front door.
Large screen televisions as well as computer monitors are included throughout the facility, offering visitors access to information and enhanced video experiences of activities and attractions in and around the Durango area.
Physical brochures and maps are also available, and the welcome desk is staffed by DATO's Visitor Information Specialists to assist guests in planning their stay in Durango. In a phrase, the Center is an example of "High Tech/High Touch."
The Center also includes six public restrooms, a water station for bottle fill-up, and a bank ATM. Dogs – on leash – are welcomed. Free wi-fi is available along with electric outlets to charge your phone, tablet or other device.
The storefront formerly housed Durango Music. The total first floor contains 2,666 square feet including 1,795 square feet of Welcome Center "main" space and 110 square feet in three large window display areas. Back of the house includes a conference room, kitchen and public restrooms occupying 857 square feet. DATO and Concert Hall offices on the second floor occupy 857 square feet.

A new law aimed at officials in Jindal's administration and Department of Education officials requires requires new residents, including state employees, to register vehicles and pay any fees and taxes within 30 days of being hired.
- Filed Under
Chances are high that a new law that goes into effect todaydoes not affect you.
Act 264 of the 2013 legislative session is aimed at high-paid appointed officials who come into the state and do not comply with a 10-year-old law requiring that new residents register vehicles and pay any fees and taxes within 30 days of being hired. Each employer in the state is expected to notify new employees of the requirement and see that employees comply with the law.

Together with his daddy, Aaron helps produce each episode of Aaron's World. This takes quite a bit of time and work which isn't always easy for a 9 year old. Aaron is in charge of choosing each episode topic and putting together all the information in a way that kids his age can understand. Daddy takes care of the dinosaur sounds and special effects to help make each episode fun and exciting.
Keep in mind, this podcast is a learning experience for Aaron as well. He knows a lot about dinosaurs... but he doesn't know everything. Sometimes, he needs to do a lot of reading just to prepare for an episode. He may not get every detail correct but that's ok. What's important is to do his best, ask lots of questions, keep learning, and most of all... have FUN!
Aaron has decided that he'd like to break the podcast into seasons. This way, we can have a little break (its a lot of work making these little episodes) and also make some changes from season to season. Season 1 will end at episode 20 with a season finale we hope you enjoy.
If you'd like to hear yourself on the show, please send in an audio question. If you'd just like to say hi to Aaron, he'd love to hear from you. He answers every email sent from listeners.
We're so glad you enjoy the podcast and hope you'll tell your friends and family about the show.
Daddy & Aaron

Pac-10 Tourney Fealess Predictions!
UCLA's regular season concluded Saturday with a resounding thud in Tempe against ASU. The Bruins face resurgent Arizona in the opening game of the Pac-10 tournament, with the winner, likely, advancing to play league champion Cal. In this bizarro world of Pac-10 seasons, all nine teams have to feel they have a realistic chance to string together a couple of wins and find themselves playing for a ticket to the Big Dance. Due to USC admitting they run a corrupt, outlaw athletic program the Trojans are sitting out the post season. Without further adieu, my fearless predictions on UCLA's outlook next week as well as the school I feel will win the conference's automatic bid into the 2010 NCAA Basketball Tournament.
Wed. 3/10: 8 Oregon (15-15) vs 9 Washington State (16-14)
The Ducks swept the Cougars in the regular season and are coming off a 74-66 win versus Wazzu that closed the curtain on venerable McArthur Court. Look for the Ducks to continue their improved play of late and move on to face California in the quarter finals.
Prediction: UO 72 - WSU 63.
Thurs. 3/11: 4 Arizona (16-14) vs 5 UCLA (13-17)
The Wildcats enter the Pac-10 tourney needing to win the automatic bid to run their amazing NCAA tournament appearance streak to 26 consecutive seasons. The Bruins are looking for a measure of revenge after getting swept by the Tucson Kitties this season. UCLA hung tough with U of A last week without Reeves Nelson and, likely, would have won the game if not for the untimely leg cramps suffered by Malcolm Lee. Kyle Fogg has been a three-point shooting thorn in the side of Ben Howland, lighting up the Bruins for career highs his last two times facing the 11-time National Champions. For UCLA to win the Bruins need to hold their own on the boards, limit turnovers and take advantage of opportunities in the open court. Arizona has integrated some talented freshman with veteran point guard Nic Wise, but their inexperience shows more away from the McKale Center. Gut tells me familiarity with the opponent and the return of Nelson gives UCLA a real shot at the upset. Look for Fogg to not get comfortable shooting in the cavernous Staples Center, and the Bruins to advance.
Prediction: UCLA 71 - Arizona 67
Thurs. 3/11: 1 California (21-9) vs 8 Oregon (15-15)
The Golden Bears captured their first league crown in fifty years and look like the only conference team that has wrapped up an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. Cal swept the Ducks during the regular season and just match up extremely well with Ernie Kent's squad. Look for Oregon to attempt to take advantage of their superior inside play. Cal is prone to lapses on both ends of the court, but have to be concerned with the leg injury suffered by versatile sixth man Jorge Gutierrez.
Prediction: Cal 83 - Oregon 69
Thurs. 3/11: 3 Washington (21-9) vs 6 Oregon State (14-16)
The Huskies are finally playing like many predicted they would to start the season. UW is the deepest and most athletic team in the conference but took a while to adjust to the losses of Justin Dentmon and Jon Brockman. The Beavers are a program on the come under Craig Robinson, but just don't have the horses to keep UW off the boards and out of transition. Due in large part to the late season collapses of bubble teams across the country, the Huskies stand a great shot of receiving an at-large invitation to the Big Dance if they can make it to the conference final.
Prediction: UW 75 - OSU 64
Thurs. 3/11: 2 Arizona State (22-9) vs 7 Stanford (13-17)
Herb Sendek, the runaway choice for conference Coach of the Year, has the Sun Devils playing solid ball on both ends. ASU center Eric Boteng has emerged as a consistent low post presence and a quartet of snipers surround him. ASU uses a match up zone defense to frustrate the opposition, slow tempo and create easy offense. However, Stanford is precisely the type of team that will give the Devils fits. Led by outstanding performers Landry Fields and Jeremy Green the Cardinal play smart and will make the most of open looks they get. Boteng had a career night against Stanford in Palo Alto a couple weeks ago, but Stanford head coach Johnny Dawkins is an underrated strategist and look for the Cardinal to bust the bubble of Sendek's Devils.
Prediction: Stanford 67 - ASU 64
Fri. 3/12: 1 California vs 5 UCLA
The teams split their regular season meetings, both teams winning on the opposing home courts. UCLA figures to go as long as its uneven guard play will allow. Cal will look to flood Nikola Dragovic's side of the zone with Jamal Boykin and Theo Robertson/Patrick Christopher. The Bears have had a lot of success attacking the Bruins zone from the baseline and wings, penetrating to the foul line and kicking out for wide open threes. UCLA, again if it limits turnovers, has the personnel to make this a game. Dragovic and Bruins MVP Mike Roll have to step up big if UCLA has any chance to beat the Golden Bears. Look for the Bruins to play a spirited game, only to fade in the final five minutes as their shaky ball handling and inconsistent free throw shooting do them in.
Prediction: Cal 77 - UCLA 69
Fri. 3/12: 3 Washington vs 7 Stanford
The Huskies swept the Cardinal during the regular season on the strength of Quincy Pondexter and too much ball pressure from their guards. Look for the formula to not change too much. Stanford makes some threes and puts a scare in Lorenzo Romar's crew, but in the end Washington's athleticism and depth wear down the Cardinal.
Prediction: UW 80 - Stanford 69
Sat. 3/13: 1 California vs 3 Washington
The Bears and Huskies split their two meetings during the year, both winning on their home courts. Washington has the quickness at guard to bother, likely, Pac-10 Player of the Year Jerome Randle. Randle torched the Huskies in their last contest. The game comes down to the boards. UW has played at entirely different level once it reinserted Matthew Bryan-Amaning back into the starting lineup. MBA goes post graduate on the Berkeley Bears, teaming with Pondexter to lead Washington to the title.
Prediction: UW 78 - Cal 73
Pac-10 gets two teams into the dance. Cal, in my opinion, under seeded as, likely, a 10 seed and Washington rides its late season momentum to an 11 seed and becomes one of the sexy picks nationally to knock off a team or two and advance to the Sweet 16. It won't really seem like March Madness without our Bruins in the party.

State of the Bruins Union
I was under the false assumption that last year was our blip year – a predictable dip following three consecutive Final Four appearances. Observant Bruins fans could see the flaws in last year's team: uneven play on the road, difficulty containing dribble penetration, long dry stretches on offense, lack of rebounding. Those same flaws are alarms this year.
I'm a proud UCLA alumnus and will always support the school and athletic programs. I'm not unrealistic about where the basketball program is, where Ben has taken it from or what the possibilities are for the school moving forward. But, we've had six full season of Benball and, undeniably, the man can coach defense. I've yet to see the consistency on offense that it will take to clear the last hurdle.
Developing an offensive identity is every bit as important as garnering one on defense. I'm not certain it's all about a lack of talent, the Bruins have had several players move on to play professionally so the that cannot be the sole reason for the choppy play. Our floor spacing and movement off the ball isn't very good – that's a coaching issue. Again, I respect CBH and what he's brought to Westwood. In no way, shape or form would I want another coach at the helm. UCLA has the same caliber athletes UNC, Kansas and Duke has, let's be unafraid to play offense like those teams do.

Observation from Humboldt State game
The offense flowed, as expected, with the return of Jerime Anderson and Michael Roll. Malcom Lee was in foul trouble and couldn't find his groove. Roll was the best player on the floor. Drew Gordon looked really nice on the offensive end, displaying a nice touch out to 15 ft and some quickness. Troubled by the lack of defensive pressure and the inability to rebound against Humboldt.

Memo to Arte Moreno, Reagins and Scioscia
The Angels enter the off season with $50 million in expiring contracts. The club, roughly, had a payroll of $114M in 2009. I will give my suggestions on what the team needs to do as they prepare for 2010. Note: Current player age in parenthesis, followed by 2009 salary.
Chone Figgins (32) $5.77M - Love Figgins' versatility, but as an everyday third baseman Figgy is valuable but not at the reported price tag of five years and $50M. I'd roll the dice on Brandon Wood and, worse case scenario, have Macier Izturis as a platoon - back up option. If Troy Glaus can prove his shoulder is healthy, he'd be welcomed back in Anaheim on an incentive laden deal.
Darren Oliver (39) $3.7M - D.O. might retire, he'd be worth a one year deal at about the same terms. The free agent market is heavy with quality south paw relievers Mike Gonzalez, Joe Beimel, Billy Wagner and John Grabow.
Rob Quinlan $1.1M - Quinny has seen his role decrease the past few years. He's still a decent bench bat and can play the corner infield and OF spots. The club could offer him another one year deal or fill the same role internally. Juan Uribe might be an interesting choice to replace Quinlan and provide insurance for the Brandon Wood experiment at 3B.
The $50M ($41 if counting the salary due Scott Kazmir) can wisely be spent on four very good players - Hank Blalock ($8.5M 2 yrs + option), Jason Bay ($18.5M 4 years + option), Rich Harden ($9M 2 yrs + option), John Grabow ($3.7 M 2yrs) - still leaving room for extensions, in season trades and the draft budget. The Angels will get back Scott Shields to fortify the bullpen.

2009 Pac Ten Awards
Another competitive year in the most underrated basketball conference in the country. These are a few of my observations on the 2008-09 season, predictions of how certain teams will fair in the NCAA tournament and my choices for various conference awards.
2009 Pac Ten Player of the Year
James Harden (ASU) - Harden carried a pretty ordinary supporting cast to an expected bid to the NCAA tournament and was the conferences most dominant player. Harden edges out Arizona's Jordan Hill and UCLA's Darren Collison for POY honors.
2009 Pac Ten 1st Team
G James Harden (Arizona State)
G Darren Collison (UCLA)
C Jordan Hill (Arizona)
F Jon Brockman (Washington)
F Chase Budinger (Arizona)
2009 Pac Ten 2nd Team
G Jerome Randle (California)
G Isaiah Thomas (Washington)
F Jeff Pendegraph (Arizona State)
F Taj Gibson (USC)
F Josh Shipp (UCLA)
Honorable Mention: Nic Wise (Arizona), Roeland Schaftenaar (Oregon State), Anthony Goods (Stanford), Taylor Rochestie (Washington State), Patrick Christopher (California), Justin Dentmon (Washington), Tajuan Porter (Oregon), Lawrence Hill (Stanford).
2009 Pac Ten Coach of the Year
Mike Montgomery (California) - The Golden Bears were expected to finish in the bottom half of the conference after losing its best two players. Montgomery implemented an up tempo offensive scheme built around Cal's strong group of returning perimeter players. The results were a return to the NCAA tournament. Oregon State's Craig Robinson and Lorenzo Romar of Washington were close runners up.
2009 Pac Ten All Freshman Team
G Isaiah Thomas (Washington)
G Klay Thompson (Washington State)
G Jrue Holiday (UCLA)
C Michael Dunigan (Oregon)
F DeMar DeRozan (USC)
2009 Pac Ten Defensive Player of the Year
Jordan Hill (Arizona) - Hill averaged nearly 2 blocks per game, was a monster on the defensive boards and the most dominating presence in the conference.
2009 Pac Ten Most Improved Player
Alfred Aboya (UCLA) - Aboya displayed his senior leadership on both ends of the floor and established himself as a bona fide offensive low post presence for the Bruins. Aboya edges out Landry Fields (Stanford) and Calvin Haynes (Oregon St.) for the honor.
2009 Conference Game of the Year
California 88, Washington 85 (4-OT) - The Bears victory was the only home loss suffered by the Huskies.
2009 Conference Pest of the Year
The award is shared by Venoy Overton of Washington and Daniel Hackett of USC.
Team Most Likely to win 2009 Pac Ten Tournament
UCLA Bruins - Bruins benefit from a mostly home crowd advantage, their depth and experience in this environment.
Darkhorse pick to surprise in Pac Ten Tournament
USC Trojans - They might not like each other, but they can fake it long enough to string together three wins. Their lack of a bench doesn't help them in this type of tournament. Coach Floyd's crew has to be the most disappointing team in the conference.
Team most likely to advance furthest in NCAA Tournament
I expect UCLA and Washington to advance past the first weekend. Without seeing match ups or venue, I'd say Washington has the best chance to advance past the Sweet 16 because of their rebounding and defensive pressure.
It wouldn't surprise me...
If Arizona went on a run if invited to the NCAA. When the Wildcats aren't in a true road game they are extremely dangerous and their big three of Hill, Wise and Budinger is as good as any in the country.

Pac 10 Conference Tournament: A Look Ahead
Predicting the outcome of games is always a dicey proposition, but given my track record I'm confident that this will reflect the final Pac Ten basketball standings on Sunday:
1. Washington (14-4) - Defeat Wazzu on Senior Day for Brockman and Dentmon.
2. UCLA (13-5) - Make NCAA seeding statement against the Oregon schools.
3. California (11-7) - Take a close loss versus the Tucson Kitties and rebound against the Devils.
4. Arizona State (11-7) - Throttle Stanford, then lose a nail biter to the Bears.
5. Arizona (10-8) - Jump off the NCAA bubble with home sweep of the Bays.
6. Southern Cal (9-9) - Home cooking agrees with Trojans as they dispatch Oregon and OSU.
7. Washington State (8-10) - Miracle three game run ends with thud in Seattle.
8. Oregon State (7-11) - Play competitive games in Los Angeles, but leave 0-2.
9. Stanford (5-13) - After getting swept in Arizona the Cardinal lick wounds in prep for CBI tourney.
10. Oregon (2-16) - Saved some face by beating OSU last Sunday, not so much against the LA schools.
Anyhow, the Pac Ten quarter final match ups would be incredible and the tournament is wide open. Under the seeding format I forsee this is how I predict the tournament playing out.
1. Washington vs. Oregon State - UW advances to semis
2. UCLA vs WSU - Bruins get revenge for earlier loss at Pauley
3. California vs USC - Trojans upend Golden Bears in mild surprise
4. ASU vs Arizona - Arizona finally figures out how to win late against Sendek's crew.
UW vs Arizona - Washington's depth too much for the Cats, and a still gimpy Jordan Hill, to overcome
UCLA vs USC - UCLA displays its depth and ability behind the arc versus Men of Troy
UW vs UCLA - National audience entertained by wide open game and get introduced to super frosh battle between a confident Jru Holiday and Isaiah Thomas. Home crowd backs the Bruins who narrowly escape with a 76-72 win and a likely #4 seed in West.
Comments please...

Solaris Farms is located just north of Reedsville at 7510 Pinesva Road.
- Filed Under
Walking among the display gardens and sales fields at Solaris Farms recently, I was simply in awe of the thousands of lilies and daylilies bursting into bloom on several acres of rustic, peaceful farmland.
Peacocks and donkeys from a hobby farm across the country road screamed excitedly into the hot afternoon sun and the steady clip-clop of a horse-drawn wagon that traveled up and down the road kept the rural atmosphere alive.
Solaris Farms, located at 7510 Pinesva Road, just north of Reedsville, is owned by teacher Nate Bremer, who has become a world-famous grower of daylilies, lilies, peonies and other fine perennials. Visitors from around the state travel by car, even by bus, to Bremer's sales and display gardens, accented by his certified American Hemerocallis (Daylily) Society display gardens.
A visit to Solaris Farms during the summer bloom season allows visitors the opportunity to walk among the many rows of daylilies and true lilies for sale over acres of fields, where they can select the plants they would like to purchase and have them dug fresh to order while they wait.
With several thousand varieties of daylilies available, as well as more than 100 varieties of true lilies planted in spectacular masses of towering blooms among the rows, a visit to the farm during peak bloom is a must.
Delayed bloom
In most years, peak daylily bloom season runs from about the middle of July through the middle of August, the same time period that the farm is open to visitors. With this year's long and delayed spring, however, peak bloom appears to be running about two weeks behind.
According to Bremer, this year's plants look amazing, with tremendous "fans" being formed on the daylily plants (fan is one division of the plant), as well as huge scapes, or flower stalks, loaded with buds.
True lilies, as well, which grow on single, leafed stalks rather than from masses of grassy foliage like daylilies, are also having a wonderful year. On the day I visited, thousands of true lilies towered over the sales fields on stalks from 2 to 6 feet or higher.
The lily fields
True lilies grow vertically from large, scaled bulbs that are planted 6 to 8 inches deep in well-drained soil. Daylilies grow from masses of thin, potato-like tubers that send up sets of fan-like foliage that resembles thick, rigid grass.
Bremer's gardening hobby-turned-business began when he was gifted a set of classic daylilies from his father. Soon, Bremer began hybridizing his plants to create new, never-before-seen daylilies all his own. Over the years, Bremer became so recognized at crossing daylily culitivars that he began to register his own hybrids with the American Hemerocallis Society and selling them to the public through the farm and website at www.solarisfarms.com.
True lilies is a passion Bremer developed over the past few years. Starting with a few varieties of hybrid LA lilies and Asiatics, Bremer's lily love grew and soon he began to offer dozens of varieties for sale.
"Solaris Farms sells a wide variety of lilium plants at the farm during summer bloom season," Bremer said. "This group of plants has some of the showiest flowers of any plant genera and should be included in every northern garden."
Of the many types of lilium, Bremer said he finds the Oriental x trumpet hybrids, often called "Orienpets," the most reliable and beautiful.
"We grow many Orienpet, Asiatic and LA lilium. These plants have proven to be reliable growers for us and customers have had much success with them. The Orienpet hybrids are generally tall, sturdy growers and have a wonderful fragrance."
Daylily dreams
The modern daylily hybrid is still the plant that drives Bremer's passion for plant hybridization, and his special skill at creating the biggest, boldest and hardiest plants for our tough winters has resulted in the introduction of hundreds of new daylily cultivars for gardeners in the north.
Specializing in breeding the most cold-hardy plants for our climate, Bremer gives his plants the most punishing tests for three to five growing seasons before deciding whether to introduce and sell a new variety. All daylilies grow completely unprotected in a vast farm field, baking under the summer sun, withstanding winter cold, snow and ice.
Those that pass this stringent test, as well as other tests for clump size, number of scapes, branching of scapes, bud count (number of flower buds per flower stalk) and, of course, flower color and appearance, may be chosen to be registered with the American Hemerocallis Society.

Seeds of Suicide: The Genetically Modified Seeds
Not content with contractual and legal restriction of farmers' rights, biotechnology giants like Monsanto have developed 'suicide seeds': seeds engineered to produce sterile crops. This technology ensures that farmers have no option but to return to the seed companies year after year.
I recently came across the following poem at http://www.banterminator.org/News-Updates/Audio-and-Video
Something's In the Garden
The wind howls before the dawn
Something's in the garden
Look out, see what's going on
Oh, the winds they blow
In a shroud of secrecy
Something's in the garden
A suicide technology
Oh, it's got to go
The corporate biotech machine
Something's in the garden
Unveils the Terminator gene
Oh, the winds they blow
Inserting a genetic crime
Something's in the garden
Sterile seed at harvest time
Oh, it's got to go
The winds they blow across the fields of every nation
Our seed we been sowing for a hundred generations
Till it's banned in every land we'll fight the Terminator
Oh, no it's got to go!
The desperate poor are locked in the sights…
Of its almighty appetites…
Wearing a boy scout disguise…
To hijack the global food supply…
The winds they blow…
Peasant farmers stand betrayed
Wisdom stolen, debt unpaid
Protect the right to save our seed
For justice and food sovereignty
The winds they blow…
Many food products we consume today contain genetically modified ingredients. A genetically modified organism (GMO) is one that has a foreign gene injected into its embryonic cells. Such "engineered" plants and animals are referred to as GMO's.
Many of the items we lift off the shelves in super markets in the United States since the mid-1990s —including pizza, chips, cookies, ice cream, salad dressing, corn syrup, and baking powder—contain ingredients from engineered soybeans, corn, or canola.
Why is this done? Technology giants who practice this would say they could artificially introduce cancer-fighting chemicals and enhance vitamin contents in food crops, sweet potatoes, and cassava to aid poor countries of the world. With this technology in tow – well, we may produce wheat, soy, and peanuts free of allergens, and doctors may "prescribe" the special food items for patients at risk for cancer and heart disease.
The Dangers of GM food to Livelihood of Farmers
The technique of genetic engineering is different from conventional breeding. Traditional breeders transfer tens of thousands of genes across related organisms whose genetic makeups are similar.

Uma, this is a very frightening article. Most of the world's population is blissfully unaware of the repercussions of genetic engineering. We are told it is good and believe it until someone like you who has the knowledge informs us. Now how do we handle this information.

Hulu in talks to launch internationally
updated 02:30 pm EDT, Thu May 7, 2009
Hulu Talking International
Hulu today acknowleged that it's in talks to expand its Internet TV streaming service to other countries beyond the US. The NBC/Fox/Disney joint venture's senior VP of content acquisition, Andy Forssell, tells FT that negotiations are underway to bring Hulu to the "top six to eight markets" for TV and that deals have already been struck to bring shows from UK producer Endemol to the US. How soon either would arrive isn't mentioned.
The expansion outside of the US follows the addition of Disney just last week and sets up Hulu to be one of the largest single video websites. It ranks third in the US, competing with very high profile sites such as YouTube, and is one of the few to offer free, legal TV shows that isn't tied to a commercial website. Most other cross-platform video is limited to pay-to-play stores such as iTunes and the Zune Marketplace.


text: CDC Admits Being Sloppy With Deadly Diseases Agency head 'shocked' by handling of anthrax, bird flu virus By Jenn Gidman, Newser Staff Posted Jul 14, 2014 9:21 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (25) (Newser) – "I was, just frankly, stunned and appalled." That was the reaction Saturday of Dr. Thomas R. Frieden in a New York Times interview after finding out last week that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the agency he heads, made not one but two potentially deadly lab mistakes over the last few months. In response to the CDC's own investigation into the mishandling of both anthrax and avian influenza (aka bird flu) strains, Frieden has shut down the CDC's flu and bioterror labs and banned shipments from the agency's highest-security labs until safety protocols have been scrutinized. He has also appointed Dr. Michael Bell, a 19-year CDC veteran, to oversee lab safety and intends to put together an external advisory group on the topic. But some experts say that's not enough. One suggests Frieden rely on an independent investigative group that would look into the CDC's lapses, much like the NTSB investigates plane crashes. Others insist on reducing the number of labs that work with these potentially dangerous pathogens—an assertion Frieden agrees with, notes Reuters, which puts the number of such research units at 1,500. "Reducing the number of labs may help better police the remaining ones," a member of the National Scientific Advisory Board for Biosecurity tells the news agency. Whatever preventative course the CDC takes, getting to the reasons behind these mishaps is one of Bell's goals. He's most concerned about the "potential for hubris" among the scientists who stop following safety protocols after getting used to the "daily grind of working with deadly microbes," according to the Times.
