Atlanta, GA -- While some states push to tighten gun control laws, some Georgia lawmakers are trying to ease rules preventing some mentally ill people from getting licenses to carry firearms.
Legislation up for a vote Thursday would allow people who have voluntarily sought inpatient treatment for mental illness or substance abuse to get such licenses.
The same bill also attempts to make it easier for officials to check on whether applicants have ever received involuntary treatment. Georgia also may change its laws to allow people to carry guns in churches, bars and on college campuses.

Label weaving machine - MÜGRIP MBJ6
The ITMA 2011 will see the release for sale of the new generation MÜGRIP machine series. MÜGRIP rapier looms are exclusively developed and manufactured for label weaving and are the world's most frequently used machine in this field.
As opposed to previous MBJ models, the MBJ6 is equipped with an additional, sixth harness, which increases the machine's rated weaving width to 1,380 mm. A spatial crank gearing provides the rapier drive of the MBJ6 and its speed is transferred gently to the weft yarn to be inserted. As a consequence, the speed of the five-harness machine is retained, but output is 20 per cent higher.
Shedding takes place via an SPE jacquard machine with 1,536 functions and as a standard feature, MBJ6 is equipped for eight weft colours with an option of twelve. The universal rapier newly developed for this machine permits the successful use of an even greater range of yarn qualities. All the label designs manufactured on MBJ models can be exchanged reciprocally and are 100 per cent reproducible.
The new machine also employs an innovative, energy-optimised drive concept, which cuts power losses to a minimum and provides a double-digit percentage improvement in the label weaving energy balance.
Last, but not least, in spite of the extra harness, the room height required for MBJ6, as well as its footprint and total weight, correspond with those of the predecessor model.
Narrow fabric weaving
Electronically controlled narrow fabric loom - NH2 53
The NH2 53 is an electronically controlled loom for the weaving of medium-weight, elastic and non-elastic narrow fabrics. Electronically controlled shedding takes place via linear motors mounted directly on the shafts. These replace pattern chains and drums and both permit unlimited repeat lengths and pattern changes in minimum time. The weft and auxiliary thread transport, as well as the narrow fabric take-off and main drive are also all electronically controlled and smoothly adjustable. As compared to conventional needle looms, the NH2 53 is fitted with considerably fewer mechanical parts, which results in both less wear and a cut in energy consumption of around 35 per cent, i.e. max. 1 kW.
A maximum of sixteen weft bars are available for patterning and the NHJ2 53 with 192 functions is an ideal supplement for narrow fabrics with jacquard patterns. The machine control system consists of two components:
- A unit that is fix-mounted onto the machine and the operation of which is limited to the functions required for weaving operations
- A portable operating unit with wireless programming data transmission to the machines (one
device for several machines). All the relevant data and parameters are stored and can be called up
at any time for statistical purposes.
Other strengths of the machine include in high levels of user-friendliness and a good price/performance ratio.
Rope weaving
Electronically controlled rope weaving machine - NH2M 53
To date, ropes have been manufactured exclusively on braiding machines. However, using MultiSphere technology, ropes, with or without cores, twine and cord, etc. can be woven now on the new electronic controlled narrow fabric needle loom NH2M in addition to the so far employed NC2M. These machines are designed for a variety of rope diameters and differ from their conventional counterparts with regard to reed, fabric guide and take-off design.
Sheath and core thread insertion takes place via a compensation device, which also supports the formation of a three-dimensional structure.
As opposed to standard braiding systems, the new process stands out due to the following advantages:
- Higher productivity.
- Longer, knot-free items due to the extended yarn lengths available on the bobbins/warp beams as compared to braiding bobbins.
- Far lower production and manufacturing costs.
Warp knitting
Electronically controlled warp knitting machine with weft insertion - MDC 3/830E
For a number of years, direct drives using linear and servomotors have played an increasingly important role in the design of Jakob Müller AG narrow fabric looms and knitting machines. Consequently, the new MDC (Müller Direct Crochet) is now available in three versions:
- The electronically controlled MDC 8/630 with a working width of 630 mm and a maximum of 8 weft bars.
- The electronically controlled MDC 3/830 E with a working width of 830 mm, 2 longitudinal bars with a maximum stroke of 450mm, a rubber rod and a part weft bar with a maximum stroke of 25mm.
- The mechanically controlled MDC 3/830 M with a working width of 830 mm and three weft bars for simple products.
The electronically controlled weft bars offer great pattern variety, quick article changes and endless repeat lengths. The machine speed can be adjusted to the stroke required by the pattern, i.e. the product characteristics. Moreover, the reduction in the number of mechanical parts is also worthy of note as it considerably cuts wear costs.
Article patterns can be fed in directly via the MDC C200 control module, or as an alternative, MÜCARD2 pattern design software is available.
The product range of the MDC 3/830E is extremely wide and extends from technical applications to simple lace and underwear items in both elastic and non-elastic variations. In addition, the use of differing types of needle facilitates the utilisation of a diversity of yarn qualities that include natural and synthetic fibres with 20 to 3,000 dtex.
Electronically controlled raschel machine
The MDK80 is a raschel machine in versions for single and double jersey (MDK80s: right-left and MDK80D: right-right) with eight weft laying bars, each powered individually by a linear motor. The machine thus disposes over an extremely extensive range of applications, which range from fashion and sports items to technical articles, such as spacer fabrics with heights of up to 20 mm, multi-layer knits, tubular knits for the medical technology segment and the underwear sector (tubular knits for holding bra wires), nets, fashion scarves, edge binding, etc.
Very precise operation of the warp bars and a compact design facilitate the rapid and straightforward switching of machine counts between E10 und E28. Thus the resultant short resetting times and the high utility effect also make the MDK80 extremely attractive for patterning and small batch orders. In addition, the electronic control of the entire machine facilitates the management of all article data and the call-up of the corresponding production parameters. Patterning takes place using MÜCARD2 CAD design software, which among other features also prepares the appropriate article card.
Textile printing
Inkjet direct printing system - MDP2 E MÜPRINT2 E
The MDP2, which was launched around two years ago for the printing of non-elastic narrow fabrics and belts, is now available in a slightly modified form as the MDP2 E for the contactless ink jet printing of elastic and non-elastic narrow fabrics and belts. The machine operates from roll to roll, from crate to crate and from roll to crate and vice versa. The narrow fabric widths processed may amount to as much as 400 mm and in the case of narrower items, i.e. with a minimum width of 15 mm, can be printed during parallel running. A minimum gap of 10 mm between the fabrics is necessary. The contactless process permits the printing of relatively heavy products with coarse surface structures.
ITMA highlights - warping systems
Universal warping machine - SMA400
The new SMA-400 warping machine permits the processing of warp beams with maximum disc diameters and width dimensions of up to 400 mm. The machine is fitted with a simple control system and by employing a combination of a creel for unrolling elastic threads and a pre-stretcher, users can warp highly elastic yarns such as latex, synthetic elastomers, single- or double-wound rubber thread and non-elastic yarns with a maximum of 3,000 dtex.
Dyeing and finishing systems
Continuous fixation and finishing machine - MFR 3A
The MFR 3A continuous dyeing and finishing machine provides the simultaneous dyeing or finishing of several narrow fabrics across a working width of 30 cm. The machine is fitted with an efficient hot air dryer, which ensures absolutely uniform temperature distribution throughout the entire fixing chamber.
Light- to medium-weight, elastic and non-elastic polyamide, cotton, viscose, acetate and polyester narrow fabrics can be processed at a maximum working speed of 30 m/min. The machine is designed for small series and medium-sized batches.
The MFR 3A operates with pigment dyes, a system that offers the outstanding advantages of no wastewater and lower energy consumption. Other benefits include a reduction in cleaning, less waste during machine set-up, the user-friendliness provided by easy access to various machine components, and precise tension control. The energy consumption levels of the MFR 3A are roughly 30% lower than those of conventional dyeing machines.

LOS ALTOS HILLS, CALIFORNIA--A new Hubble Space Telescope image reveals that a bright object in the outer solar system is Pluto's near-twin in size, not a big brother. The so-called "tenth planet," announced last July to much fanfare, is a "smidge" bigger than Pluto rather than earlier estimates of 25% to 50% larger, a planetary scientist reported here on 25 January. The downsizing puts a new focus on an ongoing struggle among astronomers to define the lowest size limit for planets.
Astronomers found the body, designated 2003 UB313, as a dot of light moving slowly among the background stars. Although more than twice Pluto's distance from the sun, the object appears so bright that planetary scientist Michael Brown of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena and colleagues claimed that 2003 UB313 was markedly larger than Pluto. This sparked a debate about whether to call it a planet (ScienceNOW, 1 August 2005). However, Brown noted that he needed better data to gauge its true size.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has provided that measure with the best possible image from space, taken in December 2005. Brown showed the picture for the first time to about 1000 people at a public talk here. The blob of light--spanning several pixels on Hubble's detector--looks fuzzy but still had enough resolution for Brown's team to determine that 2003 UB313 is barely bigger than Pluto. That's surprising, Brown said, because it means that the object reflects a remarkable 92% of the light that hits it--compared with roughly 60% for Pluto. "I had expected it to be darker and considerably larger," Brown said. Geysers may continually coat the surface with fresh frost, he speculated, although how that occurs on such a frigid body is unknown.
Brown declined to provide the calculated size, stating that his team would reveal that number at a NASA press conference. However, a chart of 2003 UB313's projected size on Brown's Web site indicates that with a reflectivity of 92%, the object would be roughly 1% larger than Pluto's assumed diameter of 2280 kilometers. The team's previous estimates had ranged from 25% larger (on its Web site) to 50% larger (at NASA's announcement in July).
"Its reflectivity is much higher than expected," comments astronomer Alex Filippenko of the University of California, Berkeley. "It does indicate a fresh, icy surface." Others noted that committees of the International Astronomical Union, which have debated for years about whether Pluto and its cousins are bona fide "planets," now face the starkest possible distinction. "It's almost cosmic justice" that 2003 UB313 and Pluto are a near-match, says astronomer Andrew Fraknoi of Foothill College, which hosted the talk.

Memo to Palm Pre users: if you've been enjoying syncing up your Palm Pre to iTunes, then don't bite on the new iTunes update to 8.2.1.
Here's why: Apple is on to you!
When the Palm Pre first came out way back when (a couple of months ago), it had bragging rights that users could sync it up like an iPod.
Unfortunately, it was programmed to be so much like an iPod that it was in fact giving iTunes an iPod-like product ID (in other words, it was what some might call, er uh, a hack).
The folks in Cupertino were not amused.
The new update for iTunes has a fix. If you have a Palm Pre and you want to get around this for awhile longer than just avoid biting on the upgrade option for 8.2.1. The little popup screen, of course, does not mention what it's upgrading.

The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) launched an awareness campaign on July 31, designed to make the construction industry aware of new rules and encourage people working in the sector to pre-register for coverage.
The campaign dubbed, "Be Registered, Be Ready," is about mandatory WSIB coverage that will be required for almost every person working within the construction industry, starting January 1, 2013.
Presently, construction employers are required to have WSIB coverage for their employees; however, starting next year, coverage will be required for the majority of people working in the industry, including: independent operators, sole proprietors, partners and executive officers in a corporation working in construction. The Government of Ontario has changed the law to include business owners, in addition to construction workers. Starting January 2013, executive officers and partners of businesses that are already registered with the WSIB will be required to report their earnings and pay premiums.
The WSIB's awareness campaign will run for the remainder of 2012.

It is not as widely known as domestic or child abuse, but it is an occurrence that is becoming more frequent in our community. It is up to us to make a change.
To understand the characteristics of elder abuse, we must break down the demographics of the parties involved. 67.3 percent of abuse victims are female, 32.7 percent are male, 66.4 percent are Caucasian, 18.7 percent are African American, and 10.4 percent are Hispanic. Perpetrators tend to be adult children of the elderly, spouses, caregivers, and institutions providing care. Once we categorize the parties involved, the next step is to classify the type of abuse.
Physical abuse is identified by bruising, inflicting any type of pain on the senior, slapping, or restraining. Emotional abuse is mental pain, anguish, verbal/nonverbal abuse, humiliating/intimidating/threatening the senior. Financial exploitation is any financial misuse, illegal taking or concealing of funds, property, and/or assets to benefit one's self. Neglect is a guardian or caregiver's failure to provide for food, shelter, and healthcare protection. Sexual is any non-consensual contact.
All forms of elder abuse are serious and should not be taken lightly. Major signs of abuse are bruises, pressure marks, abrasions, burns or broken bones, depression, sudden withdrawal from normal activities, changes in alertness, sudden and unexplained financial changes, bedsores, unattended medical needs, poor hygiene, unusual weight loss, observed belittling, threats, the usage of power negatively by the care giver, and finally strained or tense relationships and frequent arguments.
If any of those signs of abuse are detected, many services are available to assist, such as Adult Protective Services, the Adult Protection Branch (Cabinet for health and family services), and the Adult Abuse Hot Line (800) 752-6200(Toll Free).The Hopkins County Attorney's office will be having a presentation on Guardianship and Elder Abuse issues 11:30 a.m., June 26, 2014 at the Country Cupboard.

Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 06/27/2013 @ 12:49 pm In Education,Front Page,Health | No Comments
(AP) High-calorie sports drinks and candy bars will be removed from school vending machines and cafeteria lines as soon as next year, replaced with diet drinks, granola bars and other healthier items.
The Agriculture Department said Thursday that for the first time it will make sure that all foods sold in the nation's 100,000 schools are healthier by expanding fat, calorie, sugar and sodium limits to almost everything sold during the school day.

Pinkeye is redness and swelling of the lining of the eyelid and eye surface. The lining is called the conjunctiva (say "kawn-junk-TY-vuh"), and pinkeye is also called conjunctivitis (say "kun-JUNK-tih-VY-tus"). The lining of the eye is normally clear and colorless.
Pinkeye is common. It usually spreads easily, especially among children in day care centers and schools.
Because pinkeye is often spread from eye to hand to eye, good hand-washing is important. Sharing a washcloth, towel, or other item with a person who has pinkeye can spread the infection.
See pictures of a normal eye and one with conjunctivitis .
Pinkeye is most often caused by a virus. It usually occurs at the same time as or right after you have had a cold. Less commonly, pinkeye can be caused by infection with bacteria.
Dry air, allergies, smoke, and chemicals can also cause pinkeye.
Symptoms of pinkeye include:
You may have symptoms in one eye, both eyes, or the symptoms may spread from one eye to the other eye. When pinkeye is caused by a virus, symptoms usually start in one eye and may then spread to the other eye.
If you think you have pinkeye, call your doctor to find out the best way to treat it. And if you are wearing contact lenses, be sure to take them out right away. Certain health risks may increase the seriousness of your symptoms.
If you have other symptoms like eye pain or a change in your vision, if you wear contact lenses, or if you have other medical problems, you may have a more serious eye problem. In these cases it is especially important to see a doctor. Young children with pinkeye may also have an ear infection, so they may need to see a doctor.
A doctor can usually diagnose pinkeye with an eye exam and by asking questions about your symptoms. Sometimes the doctor will use a cotton swab to take some fluid from around your eye so it can be tested for bacteria or other infection.
If your doctor thinks the pinkeye is caused by bacteria, he or she may prescribe antibiotic eyedrops or eye ointment to kill the bacteria. See a picture of how to apply eye drops or eye ointment . With antibiotic treatment, symptoms usually go away in 2 to 3 days. But antibiotics only work for bacterial pinkeye, not for the more common viral pinkeye. Viral pinkeye often clears on its own in 7 to 10 days. If your symptoms last longer, call your doctor.
If the pinkeye is caused by an allergy or chemical, it will not go away until you avoid whatever is causing it.
Home treatment of pinkeye symptoms can help you feel more comfortable while the infection goes away.
Pinkeye caused by a virus or bacteria is spread through contact with the eye drainage. Touching an infected eye leaves drainage on your hand. If you touch your other eye or an object when you have drainage on your hand, you can spread the virus or bacteria.
Follow these tips to help prevent the spread of pinkeye:
Some schools ask that children with pinkeye be kept at home until they are better or have started antibiotic treatment.

EU roaming law would let travelers pick roaming in advance
updated 11:15 am EDT, Wed July 6, 2011
Aim is to slash roaming costs by 2014
The European Commission responsible for the Digital Agenda, which provides oversight for wireless communications, has proposed sweeping new legislation (PDF) that will attack the problem of high mobile roaming costs in the EU by letting users pick their roaming deals, among other changes. The proposal would give both users and alternative carriers greater flexibility and access to alternative roaming networks. The intent is to eliminate any differences in rates between calls made locally and roaming by 2015.
Currently, callers pay a high premium for calls or downloads made while roaming. A consumer will often pay less than 50 euro cents (72 US cents) for a megabyte of data downloaded locally. That same data could cost in excess of two euros ($2.90 USD) if downloaded while roaming.
"We are proposing to introduce profound structural market changes," stated Neelie Kroes, Vice-President of the European Commission responsible for the Digital Agenda, "because the time has come to tackle the root cause of the problem, the lack of competition."
There are several aspects to the proposed rules. The first is that consumers could select a separate wireless contract for their roaming. When they went out of their local area, their phone would automatically switch to their pre-selected roaming provider. They would retain their same phone number and would not have to swap out their SIM card.
The second would require carriers give alternative rivals access to their infrastructure at regulated wholesale prices. This would make it easier for alternative operators to offer competitive roaming services.
Also, as a "safety net," there would be retail price caps in place effective from July 2014 until some time in 2016. These limits (net of taxes) would include 50 euro cents per megabyte of data, 24 cents per minute for a call made, 10 cents per minute for calls received, and 10 cents for a text.
The EU already has in place some restrictions on roaming rates. A voice call made while roaming is currently capped at 39 euro cents per minute. Text message caps are currently set at 11 cents. These limits are set to expire in 2012. The new proposals must be approved by the European Council and European Parliament before they can take effect.
Carriers have usually objected to any attempts to regulate their roaming rates. But while interconnection rates are higher, they haven't usually had much success in persuading regulators that the markup is directly related to the cost.

Metro cop held for soliciting bribeComment on this story
Johannesburg - A Johannesburg metro police officer was arrested for soliciting a bribe from a female motorist he stopped in Fourways, north of Johannesburg on Saturday morning.
"At about 3am, the corrupt officer stopped the female driver and established that she had consumed alcohol," spokesman Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said.
"He instructed her to withdraw money from an ATM. She withdrew R90 and then went to complain at the Douglasdale police, who photographed the cash and watched her from a distance handing it over to the officer."
Minnaar said the 43-year-old man was immediately arrested. He is expected to appear in the Randburg Magistrate's Court on Monday on charges of corruption.
The internal affairs of the Johannesburg metro police department (JMPD) has also launched an investigation.
Minnaar said people should call the JMPD corruption hotline if they get pulled over and asked for a bribe by officers. - Sapa

Man flown to Darwin, fights for life, after being bashed and stomped during fight in Katherine
- From: NT News
- May 20, 2014
A MAN is fighting for his life after he was stomped in the head and knocked unconscious in a Territory town.
Duty Superintendent Louise Jorgensen said the alleged serious assault happened in the vicinity of BP service station on Katherine Terrace, Katherine, about 6.50pm on Monday.
"A 43-year-old male from Beswick was involved in a fight where he was kicked and had his head stomped upon by another male," she said.
Beswick is a community about 100km east of Katherine.
"The victim was conveyed to Katherine Hospital with serious head injuries," she said.
"He has since been conveyed to Darwin via CareFlight.
"The offending male left the scene.
"He is described as being of Aboriginal descent, about 175cm tall wearing jeans and no shirt."
The manager of BP Katherine said he was unaware of an incident on the servo property at the time.

End Date: Dec 31, 2010
Microsatellite library creation. Total genomic DNA is extracted from 2.0 g fresh leaf tissue of target plant using a modified Dellaporta et al. (1983) protocol. The genomic DNA is enriched with the following synthetic biotinylated oligonucleotide probes: (all labeled with biotin-ATAGAATAT at the 5' end): (CT)15, (GT)15, (CAA)10, (ATT)10, (GCC)10, (ACC)10, (AGG)10, (CTT)10, (ACG)10, (AGC)10, (ACT)10, (ATC)10. Two ug of each genomic DNA are digested in 10X reaction buffer (2.5 ul), 1 ul Sau 3Al (10U/ul) and dH20 to final volume of 25.0 ul. The mix is incubated at 37C overnight. The enzyme is inactivated by heating at 65C for 10 minutes. A 500 ng sample of the DNA is electrophoresed on a 0.9% agarose gel and visualized with ethidium bromide to make sure that the DNA has been cut by the restriction enzymes before ligating with the linkers. 200 ng of digested DNA is mised with 4 ul, 10X BSA, 4 ul 10X ligase buffer, 2 ul T4 DNA ligase (Life Technologies, Inc.), ~1 ug Sau 3 AI Linker, and dH20 to a total volume of 40 ul. The reaction is incubated at 4C for 24-66 hours. The ligation is halted by heating the mix at 65C for 10 min., then placing on ice. The reaction mix is purified using Performa DTR Gel Filtration Cartidges (Edge Biosystems, Inc.) as per manufacturer's protocols to remove excess linker. Linker ligation is verified by PCR amplification and gel visualization. Successful amplification is assumed if a "smear" of products is visible. The linker-ligated DNA is pre-amplified and PCI extracted, denatured, and hybridized with the repeat probes using the Dynabeads M-280 Streptavidin system (Dynal Co.) following manufacturer's protocols. The final eluted fragments are ethanol precipitated, and the entire pre-amplification and enrichment protocols repeated a second time. The enriched DNA is then pre-amplified and size fractionated using Sepharose CL-4B SizeSep 400 Spun Columns (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Inc.) as per manufacturer's protocols. Enriched fragments are cloned using the TOPO TA Cloning Kit (Invitrogen Corp.) as directed by the manufacturer. 96-well plates containing 100uls SOC broth w/100ug/ml Ampicillin are inoculated with transformed colonies and incubated overnight at 37C. 25 ul of cell culture from each well is transferred to a clean 96-well plate, pelleted via centrifugation, and resuspended in 50 ul of 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0. The cloned fragments are amplified with M13 insert primers from the TOPO TA kit. After PCR amplification with the M13 forward & reverse primers, the products are visualized on an agarose gel to ensure that the amplification is successful. The products are then treated with exonuclease 1 prior to cycle sequencing. Cycle sequencing is accomplished with the T3 primer. 10 ul Hi-Di formamide is added to each well, and the plates incubated at 95C for 2 minutes, placed on ice immediately for about 10 min, then centifuged at 3500 rpm for 30 seconds prior to loading on an ABI 3100 Automatic Sequencer. The sequence files are analyzed using the GCG Blast protocol for the presence of repeat fragments & amplification primers are desinged from the flanking regions of the repeat.

Chile's a pretty eclectic place, geographically speaking. It's got a bit of everything going for it. Modern technology and today's enologically pioneering spirit have enticed winemakers into seeking out new frontiers to give the different varieties just the combination of sun, soil, and temperature that makes them sing.
To prove that point, Colchagua based Viña Casa Silva decided to launch its latest wine-Cool Coast Sauvignon Blanc-by inviting a small group of wine writers to visit their young vineyards near the coast of Colchagua. This is a big deal. They literally broke new ground-new terroir-with this project by daring to plant this close to the so-cold-it's-cool coast in a region where no one has ever grown wine grapes before.
So they ordered up an absolutely gorgeous day and put a dozen of us on a little 12-seater and flew us to the Colchagua coast…
We left the Santiago airport and headed south, with the Andes to the left and the Coastal Mountains to the right. August is still winter in the southern hemisphere, and last week's heavy rains dusted the Coastal Mountains with snow for a special treat.
The layers of fog that accumulate between the irregular Coastal Mountains moderate temperatures and provide moisture for an area that is otherwise quite dry. The greenery is the result of winter rains; at other times of the year, the hills are dry and brown.
When we reached Colchagua 110 miles south of Santiago, we turned west toward the coast, following the tongue-tangling Tinguiririca (Ting-geer-ee-REE-ka) River to the sea for a better-than-birds'-eye view of the valley from the Andes to the Pacific.
The mountains start to smooth out and the land flattens near the coast.
Farm lands start to give way to pine forests that cover the rolling hills near the coast.
It's hard to imagine a more breathtaking coastline. Just a few miles north is Pichilemu, one of the surfing capitals of the southern hemisphere.
Casa Silva's 4-year-old vineyard near Paredones, just 5.5 mi (9 km) from the sea. 40 hectares (99 acres)-half Sauvignon Blanc and half Pinot Noir-have been planted on the sandy-clay hillsides that ring the reservoir and on the lower-lying lands that surround it. The Sauvignon made its debut today; the Pinot-ever the diva-will hold out another year to make its grand entrance.
Viña Casa Silva's Chief Winemaker, Mario Geisse, met the group at the vineyard, where he explained the characteristics of the coastal vineyard. Sandy-clay soils–typical of the ancient Coastal Mountains–provide good drainage and easy root development, but also make erosion an issue, so plant cover between rows is a must. Humidity is also an issue this close to the coast, where morning fogs are common, but a continuous gentle breeze and good canopy management protect the grapes from fungal problems. "I highly recommend this climate for anyone," jokes Geisse, "It never gets below 9º-10ºC in winter or above 25ºC in summer."
Viña Casa Silva has 20 hectares each of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot planted here. The first vintage of its Cool Coast Sauvignon Blanc 2009 is now on the market, but Pinot–ever the prima donna–needs another year to primp before making its debut.
Westward (and lunchward) bound, we headed straight to the coast to Buculemu, with a dramatic weather change just a couple of miles up the road from the sea. This fishing village had been clear all morning and the cloud cover rolled in just before we got there. Though the coastal air was still thick and soupy when we left a few hours later, the sun was still shining just a couple miles away from the coast itself.

Note (1:57 a.m.): This post has been updated to reflect new information.
Kaboom. The agents are at it again.
In the latest signal that the NBA labor negotiations are doomed, at least in the short term, six influential agents have issued a letter to their clients on Monday advising them not to agree to any labor deal that requires the players to take cuts in compensation.
ESPN.com reported that the agents are advising players to hold a firm line on the issue of the Basketball-Related Income split.
ESPN.com believed the letter advocated no movement past the current 57 percent BRI split for the players. Later Monday, SI.com also obtained the letter (read it here) and reported that it advises players not to accept any reduction past the 52 percent level that has been negotiated in talks that have been ongoing for months.
The owners have held firm to chopping the players' share of BRI from 57 to 46 percent since negotiations began, union director Billy Hunter acknowledged after lengthy talks over the weekend were largely fruitless.
Sources say the letter, a copy of which was obtained from a player who received it, was jointly composed by Arn Tellem of Wasserman Media Group; Bill Duffy of BDA Sports; Dan Fegan of Lagardere Unlimited; Jeff Schwartz of Excel Sports Management; Leon Rose and Henry Thomas of Creative Artists Agency; and Mark Bartelstein of Priority Sports and Entertainment.
Back in September, NBPA president Derek Fisher sent a letter to all players urging unity and specifically called out these agents. Here's his reward. Anarchy at the worst possible time.
The agents are saying to their players, in effect: "We know your interests better than the union does." This letter undercuts the strength of Fisher and NBPA executive director Billy Hunter by revealing a clear rift. As mentioned on Saturday night, October comes down to one word on the players' side: resolve. Just two days later, we are presented with a blatant signal that powerful factions of the NBPA are not on the same page. At all.
If we take the 57 percent reading as accurate, the agents are telling their clients not to approve concessions already made by the NBA in negotiations, totally cutting the legs out from under the NBPA leadership. If we take the 52 percent reading as accurate, Fisher and Hunter are left with no room to further negotiate with the NBA owners, who, up to this point, have made it clear that 52 percent is "miles" away from getting a deal done. That reading still turns the letter into an attempt to transform the NBPA's most recent offer into its final offer. That's still serious undercutting, although clearly not as bad as if the demand is at 57 percent as was previously reported. How, exactly, are NBPA officials supposed to enter the most important day of negotiations with one hand tied behind their backs?
Meanwhile, Yahoo Sports quoted one agent on Monday: "We're not just walking off the cliff with (Billy Hunter). We're ready to take the next step and decertify. We're not going to let the league set up tomorrow's meeting as a way to trap us into a bad deal."
Whether or not the actual advice in this letter is heeded, the mere fact that it was sent represents a step backwards in the negotiation process, and it comes at the worst possible time. The NBA and NBPA will continue talks in New York City on Tuesday in what could be the last session before regular season games are canceled. If the union does not have both the desire and authority to make significant concessions, and it appears that it has neither, a delayed start to the regular season is unavoidable.

5,000 Spanish Youth Receive Their Cross
Cardinal Calls for Simplicity of Heart
| 3661 hits
MADRID, Spain, SEPT. 15, 2009 (Zenit.org).- Some 5,000 young people gathered at the cathedral of Almudena in Madrid on Monday to receive the World Youth Day Cross.
The youth came together with the city's archbishop, Cardinal Antonio Maria Rouco Varela, to receive the cross in anticipation of the next youth day, which will be held in Madrid in August 2011.
Cardinal Rouco presided over a prayer vigil that marked the beginning of the cross' pilgrimage through Madrid and other Spanish cities, reported SIC agency.
In the first stop of the cross and the icon of the Virgin Mary, the cardinal appealed to young people to give witness to the Lord "with courage and valor."
In his homily, the cardinal explained that "our purpose is clear, simple and intrepid: we want to arrive at the end of our journey as pilgrims who have sought and found the Crucified Christ."
Cardinal Rouco invited his listeners to discover what the cross has within, to seek Christ's face so that he will illumine and transform each life. "It will not be easy to achieve this but it will be immensely gratifying and joyful," he said.
The prelate appealed to the young people not to cease in their attempt, despite the "scandal" of the cross, which can take place "within and outside social and cultural realms more or less influenced or touched by the inheritance of the Christian faith."
"There are not a few today who consider Jesus Christ's proclamation foolishness," he added.
Not superman
However, in contrast to the "superman" who neither needs nor depends on God, the cardinal said that man needs "realistic and effective answers" for his problems in this world.
He added that history itself, the tragedies of the 20th century, show us that "those projects of man of personal and collective self-divinization" lead to "abysses of destruction."
Given the above, the Cardinal Rouco underlined the importance of awaiting Christ in the depth of their hearts. He urged the youth to be "simple of heart."
Finally, the cardinal prayed to the Blessed Virgin to "teach us how to undertake this journey of pilgrims of the glorious cross of her Son Jesus Christ in Madrid, humbly, simply and courageously, showing it in all its truth to young people of Madrid, their families and the whole society."
May Our Lady help us "not to slacken," he added, in the two years that remain to celebrate with the Holy Father at World Youth Day.

Last Saturday, a supporter for President Obama came knocking on my door. She told me that since I neglected to vote in the primary election, I needed to reactivate my information to receive my mail-in ballot for the next general election. She then asked me to show her my driver's license, which I declined. I went to the Larimer County election office first thing on Monday morning and found out that I was indeed in active voter status and there was no reason I needed to show my driver's license to anyone. I wish I would have gotten the name of the Obama campaigner!
I also do not appreciate the fact that the Larimer County election office shares my name, address and whether or not I voted with anyone.

|Though Creation say their story is "as old as the hills," in fact this is a new, boutique operation on the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge that is for now off the beaten track along a dirt road that rises through increasingly cooler temperatures. Vineyards were planted here in 2003, with virus-free stock on virgin land. Winemaker JC Martin (right) says he has planted "A lot of Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier, a bit less Chardonnay," though there is also some Semillon and, for red wines, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Syrah and Grenache.

Just as there are superfoods, there are supermoves, exercises so dynamic and effective that they confer a particularly significant benefit and thus deserve a permanent place in your repertoire. One such move is the focal point of this week's series, and it's got Tier 4 coach Jason Skinner using superlatives.
"Week 9 holds a special place in my heart as it revolves around my favorite and arguably the greatest exercise, the deadlift," says Skinner. "The deadlift comes in all shapes and sizes but the movement itself is the hip hinge. I will bet my career that if you do not have the ability to perform a proper hip hinge, you will suffer in the health and performance department."
In terms of undoing the damage daily (desk-bound) life does to a runner's body, Skinner says the deadlift is peerless. "Think of the posture that you most likely find yourself in as you read this post. The deadlift requires and promotes exactly the opposite posture. In addition, the deadlift hits every muscle that running tends to neglect."
That being said, the deadlift can be a difficult movement to perform well, and requires precision, which is why Skinner designed this set to break down the movement into smaller components. Each of the three preparatory exercises primes a specific area or muscle group so that you can better execute the main movement. "Your first move, the Core-Activated Leg Lowering, creates posterior chain mobility required to get in position for the deadlift, as well as priming the core and hip flexors to stabilize the movement," he explains. "The Band-Resisted Bird Dog creates the necessary length in the spine to resist the forces of the deadlift, and the Full-Kneeling Hip Extension is by far my favorite glute activation exercise. It makes it very easy to learn the difference between using your glutes instead of your lower back during extension." These moves ladder you up to the deadlift, Skinner's G.O.A.T. (that would be his greatest of all time).
Perform this 4-move routine on your designated strength-training day.

Comments Thread For: Juan Carlos Salgado Has Surgery To Fix His Left Eyebrow
IBF super feathrweight champion Juan Carlos Salgado underwent surgery in Guadalajara to correct a left eyebrow issue. During recent fights against Miguel "Barreterito" Beltran, Martin Honorio and Jonathan Barros, the area took a lot of damage and the healing process did not go as planned. The doctors were forced to re-open the old wound to remove a cyst, which was formed due to bad scarring. The procedure was necessary because the area could have easily been ripped open in his next fight.

As of Thursday, April 4, 2013

OXFORD -- Providence Christian School is expanding again.
The school, which opened in August 2005, recently opened a new building that will serve its middle and high school students.
After originally opening in a smaller space, the school moved to its current Byrd Road campus in Oxford in October 2005. It sits on 67 acres at Crosspointe Church.
Now, the Newton County Chamber of Commerce has cut the ribbon on a new addition to the school. It has opened a second building near its original one.
"The new building is a wonderful blessing to us here at Providence. We are growing at a steady rate, which is a rich blessing with the economy in its current state of affairs," said school Headmaster Ty Hensley.
He said the new building should be able to house its Upper School, which is grades six through 12, for the next few years.
The school's younger students will stay in the original building, allowing for separation between the two groups, he added.
"We love our campus here at Crosspointe Church and believe God will continue to grow and further this vision here at Providence to fully use all 67 acres of beautiful wooded property," he said.
The school has had full accreditation from the Georgia Accreditation Commission since October 2007. The school also is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International and The Association of Classical & Christian Schools.
The school offers a college preparatory education in prekindergarten through 12th grade to the Newton, Rockdale and Walton communities. It offers Bible studies, arts courses and physical education, as well athletics like golf, soccer, tennis and swimming.

You will also gain valuable insight into BlueCielo's corporate strategy, product vision, strategy and roadmap, as well as partner successes.
