Great Lakes Restoration Initiative
Most of the work in Ohio will involve control of invasive plant species, which are expanding rapidly throughout the Lake Erie basin. These invaders take over an area quickly, crowding out native plants, eliminating wildlife habitat, and sometimes changing the way water flows over the land and into the lake.
The Nature Conservancy and partner organizations launched in 2010 an ambitious three-year, large scale endeavor to restore important Great Lakes habitats along Lake Erie and its tributaries.
The effort will be paid for in part by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI)—a federal initiative that targets the most significant problems confronting communities in the Great Lakes basin, notably degradation caused by invasive species, pollution and contaminants.
Benefits to people and wildlife include:
• Improved drinking water quality
• Restored wildlife habitat for native waterfowl, fish and migratory birds
• Increased opportunities for recreation—hunting, fishing, boating and birdwatching
• Improved waterways for commercial and sport fisheries
• Restored coastal marshes, interior wetlands, floodplains
• Protected groundwater resources
There are three Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Projects in Ohio:
1) Phragmites control in the coastal wetlands of western Lake Erie
• Manage invasive plants on approximately 2,000 acres of coastal marsh within western Lake Erie to restore wetlands, preserve fish and wildlife, increase access for recreation and improve water flow in wetlands.
• Partners: Winous Point Marsh Conservancy, US Fish and Wildlife Service, private lands, Michigan Department of Natural Resources, and the Ottawa County Soil and Water Conservation District.
Contact: Tara Baranowski, Lake Erie Coast and Islands Project Manager. (419) 707-4242 or email@example.com
2) Invasive plant prevention and control in the Grand River watershed of Northeast Ohio
• Reduce invasive plants on 600 acres in the Grand River watershed through integrated approach using early detection and rapid response, treatment and development of long-term management plan for the watershed.
• Partners: Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Ohio Department of Natural Resources-Division of Wildlife, Geauga Park District, Lake Metroparks, and the Western Reserve Land Conservancy.
Contact: Karen Adair, Northeast Ohio Projects Manager for The Nature Conservancy. (330) 687-2134 or firstname.lastname@example.com
3) Wet prairie restoration in the Oak Openings Region of Northwest Ohio
• Restore 600 acres of wetlands in the Oak Openings Region. Success will be evaluated by changes in groundwater and other biological indicators.
• Partners: Toledo Metroparks, Ohio Department of Natural Resources – Divisions of Forestry and Natural Areas, Bowling Green State University.

Ideally, you should have the buoyancy at any point exactly equal the load on that point, then you would not need any rigidity or strength in the platform.
In the real world this is not possible because of changing loading as people or whatever move across the platform, wind loading, waves, etc. But if you keep the principle and ideal in mind, you can probably improve any real design, including reducing its strength requirements. The shallow water border area, probably meant primarily as a breakwater, either is neutrally buoyant or if contributing to the flotation of the center platform will require substantial reinforcement (especially at the border between it and the thicker part of the platform).
It would probably be better to make an independent ring shaped breakwater that is not rigidly connected to the float.
The overall shape of the platform is not important if you can keep the loading and buoyancy closely linked, and a more lozenge shaped (very enlongated hexagon) would probably be better for an anchored seastead – less current stress on the anchorage.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY — They started it back in 1958, and it's been a holiday staple in the Good Life City for decades with different names and different teams over the years. U Save It Pharmacy has sponsored the tournament for the last four years, and once again it is sponsoring the only holiday tournament in Albany.
This year's U Save It Pharmacy Boys Basketball Tournament tips off today at Albany High and concludes Saturday night at the Civic Center, where the two surviving teams will play for the title.
All four city teams are in the eight-team tournament, and there's a chance Monroe and Westover could meet in the title game. The Herald's No. 1- and No. 2-ranked teams are on opposite sides of the bracket.
"I think that's what people are talking about,'' said Dr. James Little, the tournament's organizer and legendary basketball coach from Monroe. "If it's Monroe and Westover (in the title game), it will be a big crowd.''
The first two days of the tournament will be played at Albany High, where Dougherty plays Webster County in the opener at 4 p.m. today, then Westover faces Manchester at 5:30 p.m. in what could be one of the best games of the tournament. Manchester played in the Class AA state title game last year, and Westover, which won the tournament last year on a last-second shot that beat Albany High, has arguably its best team since going to the Final Four in 2010.
Albany High meets Statesboro in the 7 p.m. game today, and Herald No. 1 Monroe, which is unbeaten and coming off a huge 70-63 win against Westover last Friday, faces Class A powerhouse Terrell County in the 8:30 p.m. game.
Friday's games begin at 4 p.m. with the losers of the Dougherty/Webster and Monroe/Terrell County games playing in the consolation bracket. The winners of those games meet in the semifinals at 7 p.m.
The winners of the Westover/Manchester and Albany/Statesboro games meet at 8:30 p.m. in the semifinals and the losers of those games face each other in the consolation bracket at 5:30 p.m.
The consolation final (for fifth place) is Saturday in the Civic Center at 4 p.m., followed by the third-place game, with the title game scheduled to tip off at 7 p.m.
In recent years, the tournament has used a classic format in which all the games were set up in advance, but the organizers went back to a tournament format last year.
"I talk to coaches, and they like the tournament atmosphere,'' Little said. "It gives the kids even more to play for. The best thing about the tournament is it gets teams ready for the state tournament later in the year, and (the teams) like playing the (finals) in the Civic Center. When you get into the state playoffs, you're playing in a big arena, and this gives you a chance to play (a tournament game) in a big arena. It's inviting for the kids.''
Last year's tournament ran into problems with the GHSA and all the teams were fined $200 each because the tournament had not been sanctioned with the GHSA,
Kenneth Goseer, the assistant superintendent of the Dougherty County School System, said Wednesday that won't happen again.
"We made sure all those problems are taken care of,'' Goseer said. "We made sure the tournament is sanctioned.''

From triangulated categories to module categories via localisation
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We show that the category of finite dimensional modules over the endomorphism algebra of a rigid object in a Hom-finite triangulated category is equivalent to the Gabriel-Zisman localisation of the category with respect to a certain class of maps. This generalises the -Calabi-Yau tilting theorem of Keller-Reiten, in which the module category is obtained as a factor category, to the rigid case.

Layla and Brandon's sex activities are interrupted when Hailey Young enters the birthday party with her many male friends. The girls both look terrific, dark-haired and skinny and very sexy. This is probably one of the wildest scenes in the series so far and I think many out there will like it even more than I do. Both girls get fucked good in various positions, the coolest was probably when they're facing each other in doggy. Hailey is especially crazy in this scene, probably because she got to practice some the last time.
Alicia Alighatti is one of my favorite girls, her face may not be the best I've seen but her body makes up for it, not to mention her rocking personality featuring a very cool sense of humor. I remember her from Good source of iron 5, and back then I think she said her ass was a virgin and should remain that way. Then I see her getting her ass pounded in Un-natural sex 15 like a pro... and now by elite fucker Michael Stefano. The world really IS getting better!
Hailey Young gets to pick one guy to take home with her, and she picks the guy with unmatching socks, she says she could do his laundry. I'm no fashion victim myself but at least I try to wear matching black socks.
This one feels slightly weaker than some of the previous volumes, but it's of course still a must-have for perverts who like to see gorgeous faces become glazed donuts. So thank's again, Brandon.

That's my concern too. With factories limited to four bikes each, two factory two satellite and no realistic expectation of any other factories coming along for next year there will only be twelve prototypes four of which will be Ducatis for whom things are not looking good.
So it worries me that there are going to be riders on at least some of those bikes who don't deserve them.
The biggest worry of all for me is Abrahams. I know daddy is making noises about dropping Ducati for next year, but it's Ducati or CRT and junior is slow enough on a factory bike imagine where he'd be on a CRT machine. So it looks likely that he'll be hogging a Ducati seat that could be better served by somebody else. I'm not Barbera's biggest fan, but with the current position at Pramac I think it's unlikely that we'll see him on a prototype next year. That's a pitty because I'd rather see him than Karel.

US Bishops Welcome Negotiations With Iran
Commend Government for Signing Arms Trade Treaty
Washington, D.C., (ZENIT.org) | 966 hits
The chairman of the US bishops' Committee on International Justice and Peace commended Secretary of State John Kerry for signing the Arms Trade Treaty.
In an October 4 letter, Bishop Richard Pates of Des Moines, Iowa, also welcomed the move to enter into substantive negotiations with Iran over their nuclear program.
"The community of nations must regulate the international transfers of arms to save lives. Dialogue with Iran is essential to forge a peaceful way forward," wrote Bishop Pates.
He called the treaty an important step, adding, "In solidarity visits to Latin America and African nations, Church and civil society leaders have frequently shared with me stories of the unimaginable human suffering that comes from the unregulated flow of arms."
Bishop Pates wrote to Kerry in April, urging that the United States sign the Arms Trade Treaty. (http://www.usccb.org/news/2013/13-066.cfm)
Bishop Pates reiterated the longstanding position of the Holy See and the U.S. bishops, that a diplomatic solution with Iran is preferable to military action, "which could have unpredictable and dramatic repercussions for the region."
The full text of Bishop Pates' letter is available online: www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/human-life-and-dignity/war-and-peace/arms-trade/upload/letter-to-john-kerry-on-arms-trade-treaty-and-iran-2013-10-04.pdf

"Overall, Abosch expects salary increases to remain relatively flat going forward"
Salary increases will remain flat or salaries will remain flat? I think the author meant the latter but was sloppy in his wording. Too bad, because it makes a big difference.
Nice for the companies. However, without a long term commitment to me why should I be committed to the company? I also note that the tax rate is drastically higher for bonuses when negotiating compensation. Huge tax implications for employees with this type of comp plan.
Anon, your comments makes zero sense whatsoever and clearly lacks understanding of the tax code. When you make 10% of your salary in one paycheck, that looks as though you make much more money in the year so taxes are higher for that pay period (perhaps in rate as well), but it is accounted for in your year-end tax return. You effectively pay no more, or less, on that money than you are supposed to for what you earn in a year.
Jeff, that is true, however, it is worth noting that by paying a much higher tax rate and then getting a refund later Uncle Sam gets to sit on the money and earn interest on it instead of you. Not a huge deal for the individual but across the entire country that adds up.
This is what the brokerage do with their stock brokers. I think you will see the trend flow through to other companies. It is an incentive.
An unmentioned company benefit - Bonuses are usually not included in the calculation of pensions for defined benefit programs.

An afternoon wander around the interface between Tokyo & Kanagawa.
What more pleasant way to spend a Monday afternoon than trundling around on foot in a part of Tokyo not too far from home, but that which one know's little about. Throw into the mix a Mamiya medium format camera, digital back and Hasselblad lens and one has the makings of a perfect afternoon in the suburbs.
Rokugoudote is one of those places you generally pass through; a local stop on a usually express train journey for me, from home in Omori down the Keikyu line into Kanagawa.
This Monday I decided to get off at Rokugoudote and have an explore. It turned out to be interesting and I ended up exploring all the way down to Kawasaki Daishi, somewhere we did a photowalk not so long ago.
The area around the river and under the road and rail bridges in Rokugoudote conrtains one of the most developed homeless 'villages' I have seen in Tokyo; house-like structures, vegetable gardens, recycling… quite an eye-opener because of the extent of the population down there and over the river on the Kawasaki side. Bumped into some nice folk though, shot pics of their cats and will go back and gently develop a relationship with some of the people, if I can, to get a little doco going.
Anyway, I must dash out now as I have some people to teach but just wanted to get a little gallery of shots up. All straight out of the Mamiya, no post-pro.
There's another pic of one of the cats here.

Harris Teeter and vendor Titan Farms, donated approximately 57,000 pounds of peaches to the Second Harvest Food Banks in Winston-Salem and Charlotte (NC) this past week to help feed the hungry in the local communities. This donation is part of the retailer's participation in the inaugural "Peaches with A Purpose" program sponsored by peach grower Titan Farms.
Titan Farms created the Peaches with a Purpose program to help feed the underserved while bringing attention to the problem of food insecurity in the United States. "We are very pleased to offer a program that will help our retail partners give back to their local communities," says Chalmers Carr, president of Titan Farms. "We would love to make this an annual campaign that will get stronger each year."
The program spanned 4 weeks in July and August and encompassed 150 Harris Teeter stores in North and South Carolina. For the total amount of peaches purchased during the campaign period, Harris Teeter in turn donated a percentage back to the food bank. The total donation is in excess of 57,000 pounds of peaches; Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC in Winston-Salem and Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina in Charlotte will each benefit from the program.
"We are excited to be the first retailer to participate in Titan Farms' Peaches with a Purpose program," says Catherine Becker, communication manager for Harris Teeter. "Fresh produce is scarce in food banks across the country, and we are happy to be able to contribute nutritious items to those in need."
"On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of children, seniors and families who struggle daily with hunger in our region, we want to thank Harris Teeter and their partner Titan Farms for their commitment to help end hunger," says Kay Carter, executive director for Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina. "Produce is an item that those living in poverty can least afford but need as part of a healthy diet. We are very grateful for this support."

Lebanon's own Lawrence McKinney is a man anyone could take a lesson from when it comes to patience.
But don't take our word for it; he'll tell you himself.
"I spent 31 years, nine months, 18 days and 12 hours in prison," McKinney said. "I left with $75."
After all that time, McKinney was released from prison in July 2009 after the Innocence Project proved in court he didn't commit the rape and first-degree burglary he was accused of in 1977 in Memphis.
He would spend the next five years awaiting exoneration until Monday when a Memphis district attorney presented the case to a judge there. In mere moments, the significant burden McKinney carried with him for more than 35 years was lifted, and his slate was wiped clean.
Aside from spending about a third of his life in prison alone, McKinney missed out on nine presidential elections, and he wasn't able to go on any mission trips outside the U.S. because he was denied a passport as a former convicted felon. He was also denied jobs due to his record and couldn't enjoy a number of priviledges many take for granted.
"I was real young when I went to prison," he said. "I lost a lot of things, going to college, having a job. It took a lot away from me. I take it one day at a time."
Monday marked the start of a new life for McKinney.
And even though the finish line is in sight, there is still yet another hurdle left for McKinney to cross. But this final leg remains in the hands of the state.
The issue of restitution owed to McKinney for being wrongfully imprisoned is still pending.
According to the Innocence Project, Tennessee state law allows "a maximum of $1 million for the entirety of a wrongful incarceration. The board of claims, in determining the amount of compensation, shall consider the person's physical and mental suffering and loss of earnings."
In McKinney's case, he's certainly due every penny of the maximum award, and we urge the state to make quick work of cutting him a check.
"I know God was in control. I'm a free man now," McKinney said. "In my opinion, the state [didn't] want to exonerate me because it would have to give me $1 million. It doesn't matter to me. I know God will take care of me."
Hopefully justice will finally be served soon. And considering McKinney's track record and Christian heart, we have no doubt that money would be put to good use.

Repudiation in Antebellum MississippiAn Interview with Clifford F. Thies
Recorded: Wednesday, July 1, 2015
Clifford F. Thies, author of The Independent Review article Repudiation in Antebellum Mississippi, is interviewed on National Public Radios All Things Considered about the state of Mississippi defaulting on its loans in the 1840s. Other states defaulted on loans during this period, but most reconciled with debtors, but not Mississippi. Mississippi repudiated its debts, refusing to pay them.

If you beat the war drum loudly enough, can you drown out discussion of all other domestic issues? It certainly seems like the Bush administration is trying. The rush to war is dominating the US agenda, drawing attention away from a whole host of pressing problems. While Iraq remains the focus of the nightly news, congressional discussion, and the campaign trail, other issues naturally fade into the background. And this is the most helpful place for them to remain if President Bush wants to maintain his approval rating. Whether or not the Iraq war is a case of "wag the dog," it is certainly diverting attention from policies that might otherwise be threatening the current administration's very existence.
The ailing economy is perhaps the biggest and most obvious problem facing the US at the moment. The stock market is doing poorly. The deficit is growing. Millions of people have lost their jobs. The Bush administration's budgeting demonstrates a policy of going after social spending, especially to finance expensive war efforts. The problems with the economy seem to have a very close relationship with Bush's tax cuts, and with the ever growing costs of Bush's war policies.
Several other major issues have also been pushed off the front page (but just barely). Details of energy and corporate scandals continue to surface, but the coverage of Iraq has muted the stories. Environmental issues are treated as inconsequential, despite the fact that by many accounts, the US is speeding up the probablity of climactic disaster by killing the Kyoto Protocol and instituting oil-friendly policies at home. Trade problems have driven up the price of steel and lumber domestically, and could possibly spark punishing trade wars with powerful entities such as the European Union.
These issues can't be sidelined forever. Pollution doesn't fix itself; poverty and illness won't just go away. So while President Bush prosecutes a war on Iraq in the name of national security, our security is silently slipping away.
The Email Activist provides an excellent statement on the current situation: "The Bush administration's domestic policy has been an utter failure for everyone except the wealthy. The gap between the rich and poor continues to grow. The budget surplus that prompted last year's raid on the Treasury turned out to be an accounting fiction. Rampant corporate corruption on an unregulated Wall Street has wiped out the life savings and retirement portfolios of countless citizens and has eliminated thousands of jobs. And since September 11, our constitutional rights have been vanishing faster than al-Qaeda operatives . . . So why has all this bad news pretty much disappeared from the national radar screen? The answer is Iraq. The Bush team is successfully manipulating the media (and the Congress) into shifting all attention away from its shameful failures by announcing its intention to take out Saddam Hussein. It's a classic case of misdirection. Like a pickpocket, the Bush administration is stealing your wallet with one hand while distracting you with the other one." This short article includes a sample letter to send to your representatives that highlights the main points made in the article.
(Editor's Note: For other actions opposing war on Iraq, please see our own action page at: http://www.moveon.org/nowar/ . )
In this compelling article, the author asks us to "[i]magine the 43rd Presidency without Osama bin Laden, the year 2001 with an uneventful September 11," and summarizes the many problems that would be beseiging President Bush without a war to split America's focus.
This pro-Bush article still manages to make an excellent point
about the President: "Polls show that only one issue works in
Bush's favor: terrorism. On the environmental [sic], global
warming, prescription drug plans for the elderly, the right of HMO
patients to sue in court, campaign-finance reform, corporate
oversight and every other major public question, Americans back
the approaches preferred by the Democrats. Only on education and
tax cuts (both already passed) has Bush the makings of a national
majority." For this reason, it only makes sense for Bush to
continue to focus on the issue of Iraq: "The president always has
the power to control the subject of the national debate. As Bush
uses this power to focus on the dangers Saddam Hussein poses for
the U.S. and for Israel, what other issues will really matter?"
Indeed, the issue of Iraq is dominating Bush's campaigning. Bush
spends the majority of his fundraising speeches discussing war,
with very little mention of other pressing domestic issues. The
author conjectures that this may be a move calculated to win
support from Republicans.
In this excellent article titled "The Art of Changing the Subject," the author argues that "...it seems all anyone in Washington can think or talk about is terrorism, rebuilding Afghanistan and un-building Iraq. It leads one to wonder, what happened to all those domestic issues? Well, I checked. Those issues are still with us. And, while the cat's away at war, administration mice are having a field day with them." Aside from discussing the controversial new proposals on logging (which are also mentioned in the environmental section of this bulletin) the article provides updates on big business accounting and energy racketeering.
In 2001, unemployment rates skyrocketed to 5.8 percent. 2 million people lost their jobs.
There has been a mild recent upturn in the economy this year that
has some people optimistic; however, the National Bureau of
Economic Research is hesitating to issue an offical end to the
recession which began in 2001. The group is mainly concerned that
the economy may take another sharp downturn. They will partly base
their decision on a report on Septembers payrolls coming out this
Friday. Economists predict that it will indicate that unemployment
has risen to 5.9%.
On Tuesday, Sept. 24, the Dow broke at its lowest levels since
1998. Investors fear that things will only get worse.
Because of the poor market, many people will have to delay
retirement, and may have less money when they do retire. The age
group closest to retiring suffered the most losses.
The deficit is also bigger than originally expected. This is because, according to USA Today, " The accounting tricks used by U.S. companies are nothing compared with Washington's bookkeeping circus." Some of the examples cited in the article include:
According to the linked article, recently released information on the US economy indicated that:
Even with the distraction of war, recent polls show that Americans
blame Bush for the poor economy, and tend to side with the
Democrats on the issue.
Recent tariffs on lumber industries have been enacted in order to protect US trade interests, angering close US neighbor and biggest trading partner Canada. Canada has pledged to make a complaint to the WTO about the tariffs [which it has done since this article was published -Ed.]. A new farm bill has only added to the tension around US trade policies.
This excellent article summarizes the protectionism characteristic
of the Bush administration with specific examples and a discussion
of the global perception of the US's actions, which seem to be
threatening global trade negotiations. Basically, it seems to be a
case of "do as I say, not as I do." The US has been imposing
tariffs on steel, Canadian lumber, Australian lamb meat, and
Vietnamese catfish, and more heavily subsidizing the agriculture
industry -- this despite the fact that the US has been the biggest
advocate of decreasing agricultural protection in Japan and
domestically, and is the leading advocate of free trade, or trade
without restrictions (such as tariffs). The steel tariffs have
sparked international anger and could result in the EU imposing
its own heavy tariffs on the US if the US does not offer
compensation for the money lost. Japan could also act to punish US
industry, meaning that the steel tariffs may trigger an
international trade war with the US.
Yet the US continues to pursue new free trade agreements: "Under
cover of the corporate (and independent) media's obsession with GW
Bush's maniacal 'war on terror,' the US is pursuing new trade
negotiations to expand the North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA) debacle to Central and South America. The Free Trade Area
of the Americas (FTAA) aims at creating a free-trade zone
throughout the western hemisphere, with a target date of January
2005. The effects of which could have an even more dismal impact
on millions of people throughout North and South America then has
the latest imperialist government's war." This article debunks
some of the official claims regarding the benefits of FTAA.
Under the leadership of President Bush, the US has backed out of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol -- the agreement by which more than 100 nations pledged to reduce emissions of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. The US pullout basically kills the treaty, because "although it accounts for only 4 per cent of the world's population, it is responsible for 25 per cent of the emissions of gases that cause the greenhouse effect." The reason behind the administration's aversion to environmental issues is obvious: Bush remains committed to serving the interests of the oil and energy industries that profit off of pollution.
A new energy bill which could potentially have been able to help
reduce America's dependence on oil as an energy source (and thus
dependence on oil sources in the Middle East) contains loopholes
which will essentially mean "increas[ing] our dependence on
imported oil and enshrining it as national policy, " according to
the Sierra Club. It is expected to pass within the next couple of
weeks. Republicans have also revived talk of drilling for oil in
the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
At the recent UN World Summit on Sustainable Development in
Johannesburg, Colin Powell was jeered for defending the US's
environmental record. The US seemed to remain committed to
advocating business-friendly solutions at the summit.
President Bush did not even attend the summit in Johannesburg,
despite the fact that so many other world leaders did, allegedly
because he was too "preoccupied with his fight against terrorism
which has now shifted to the Islamic state of Iraq."
Is the Bush administration trying to undermine NEPA?
A new EPA report contains no section on global warming, making it
the first report in six years to omit information on climate
change related to greenhouse gases. The decision to omit the
section was made by top EPA officials with White House approval,
and is drawing fire from environmental groups.
Meanwhile, according to a US National Academy of Sciences (NAS)
report, "[I]t is possible that the global warming trend projected
over the course of the next 100 years could, all of a sudden and
without warning, dramatically accelerate in just a handful of
years - forcing a qualitative new climatic regime which could
undermine ecosystems and human settlements throughout the world,
leaving little or no time for plants, animals and humans to
Another important report concludes that no US stream remains
unpolluted. The report also proposes a set of ecological
indicators to help better assess the environmental health of the
The Bush government also recently announced the "Healthy Forests
Initiative," which advocates "mechanical thinning" (aka logging)
of forests with the justification that it is supposed to help
prevent forest fires. The initiative would enable companies to log
forests with almost no restrictions -- and ironically, would
probably increase, not decrease, the chance of forest fires.
Bush campaign contributions are closely linked to the
administration's environmental policies, Earthjustice and Public
Campaign charge in a detailed new report. According to the report,
"Industries now reaping the benefits of an administration intent
on eliminating important environmental and public health
safeguards are the same ones that helped underwrite the
Bush-Cheney campaign and the RNC with more than $44 million in
How will the US fund a war with Iraq, which by some estimates could have a $200 billion price tag? By using Social Security: "The Social Security surplus -- the money in the locked box that everyone agreed during the 2000 presidential campaign was supposed to stay sealed -- is currently being used to finance general government operations. This is, apparently, the well into which President George W. Bush plans to dip in order to finance his next war. He has not told us of any other. Social Security trust funds are the only accounts to tap because the surplus outside of Social Security has long since vanished. It was wiped out by tax cuts, slow economic growth and the war in which we already are engaged."
The Bush administration's proposed budget for 2003 "plans to shift
more of the financial burden of social service provisions to the
states, leaving state and local governments with an aggregate
budget deficit of almost $100 billion." In order to deal with the
deficit, states will probably have to cut back on social programs
such as road construction, policing, education funds, etc. The
reason for the shift is that a large proportion of money is
earmarked for security concerns related to the "war on terrorism,"
leaving less money available for basic public services. Bush's tax
cuts are likely also to blame.
While the Bush administration continues to advocate more war,
health care for veterans appears to be a low priority. A Bush
appointee at the Department of Veterans Affairs, Laura J. Miller,
recently sent out a memo to local administrators telling them to
stop healthcare outreach programs to vets so that the Department
could save money. In other words, if the Bush administration just
doesn't tell veterans about the healthcare that they have earned
by virtue of their military service, then the government won't
have to pay for it. The link is to an actual copy of the memo.
Medicare is also suffering under the Bush administration. Bush "is
proposing deep reductions in Medicare payments for a wide range of
drugs and medical devices used to treat people who are elderly or
disabled." Ultimately, this could mean that hospitals won't be
paid enough for certain services, and may have to stop offering
them, meaning that patients would no longer have access to certain
The number of people without insurance has also jumped in the past
year. There were 41.2 million people without health insurance in
2001, up 1.4 million from 2000. According to experts, this
indicates that the number of people without health insurance is
likely to continue to rise, largely due to "rising health-care
costs, state cutbacks in Medicaid, unemployment increases and
employer decisions to pass along most costs to workers."
Meanwhile, Health and Human Services committees, which provide
expert advice on public health to Bush administration officials,
are being overhauled in order to eliminate views contrary to those
of the Bush government.
The Bush administration is also proposing changes to welfare that
would require that recipients work longer hours and be pushed out
of job training and education programs.

Filmmaker Ken Burns edits "The Civil War," epic 11-hour PBS series which will be telecast, in a rare programming move, on five consecutive nights, kicking off the PBS 1990-91 prime time season, Sunday September 23 (1990) through Thursday, September 27, each beginning at 9 p.m. EDT. General Motors is sole corporate underwriter of the series, which is a GM Mark of Excellence Presentation. (Photo by Cori Wells Braun)
This column first appeared on Sept. 20, 1990, in The Courier-Journal.
WASHINGTON At the battle of Shiloh, a wounded Union soldier was told to leave his rifle and go to the rear. He soon returned, saying, Gimme another gun. This blame fight ain't got any rear. Neither did the war.
It was fought in 10,000 places, this monsoon of our history. And beginning Sunday, and for the next four nights, The Civil War is magnificently encompassed on public television. If better use has ever been made of television, I have not seen it and do not expect to see better until Ken Burns turns his prodigious talents to his next project. He is the filmmaker five of whose 37 years went into the making of this masterpiece of national memory. Our Iliad has found its Homer: He has made accessible and vivid for everyone the pain and poetry and meaning of the event that is the hinge of our history.
The Civil War is the largest event in human history. A large claim, that, but defensible, on five grounds.
At issue, and not just for this country, were the two polarities of political possibility: self-government and slavery. The war catalyzed the world's noblest political career, Lincoln's. The war (in Walt Whitman's phrase) condensed a nationality: It completed the American founding, settling questions unanswered in 1789. It transformed the foremost democracy into a nation of such philosophic clarity and political unity that, in the next century, it could save the world from several tyrannies akin to slavery.
For more than a century this argument has raged: What caused the war? Was it an irrepressible conflict? What, at its core, was it about? About 15 minutes into Burns' 11-hour series, you learn you see the answer.
You see a 19th-Century photograph, black-and-white of course, of a black man's back. It is hideously covered with scars left by a lash. Burns' camera does not dwell; the narrative does not even mention what we have briefly seen. Burns knows how to blend passion and delicacy: Reticence can be its own emphasis.
The Civil War was the prototype of the great engine of change social, cultural, scientific in the modern world. It was the first modern war, waged, in the end (in Georgia and South Carolina, by Sherman) against civilians, and won by the side best at mobilizing an industrial base.
The First World War, from the wounds of which the Western world is only just now recovering, was prefigured in the trenches at Petersburg, Va. The firepower that killed 7,000 in 20 minutes at Cold Harbor, Va., was an anticipation of the Somme.
Two days fighting at Shiloh killed more Americans than all previous American wars. Two percent of the American population died in the war. And then there were the survivors of the first great modern war and the last great war before modern medicine: In 1866, one-fifth of the state of Mississippi's revenues were spent on artificial limbs.
Was it worth it? Yes. When the war began, one in seven Americans was owned by another American.
Less than one percent of the North's population was black, but by the end of the war 10 percent of the Union forces were black. One of them was a handsome boy named Jackson, about 12. Burns' camera pans slowly up an old photograph, up past the bare feet, ragged trousers, shredded shirt of Contraband Jackson. (Contrabands were slaves that escaped to Union lines.) Then the camera pans up another photograph, up over boots, fine trousers, past a drum and snappy blouse, to the face of . . . Drummer Jackson.
Burns' film of the battlefields today, and the old photographs, are framed by ambient sounds hoofbeats, cannon, musketry, steamboat whistles. The birds you hear are the kind that called at the times and places of battles. The camera moves, sometimes at a canter, down roads and over ridges.
And the pictures are exquisitely married to words, astonishingly rich 19th Century English usage, not only from leaders but from the letters and diaries of soldiers and citizens. Sunday's episode includes a love letter of unbearable beauty, written on the eve of the first battle of Bull Run by a soldier who was to die there.
The war was haunted by eerie occurrences.
Wesley Culp was born on Culp's Hill in Gettysburg. As a teenager, he took to wandering, wound up in Virginia. Came the war, he enlisted. He died a few yards from the house in which he was born, on Culp's Hill.
Because first Bull Run put soldiers in his kitchen, Wilmer McLean moved deep into Virginia to escape the war. He settled in Appomattox. The war ended in his living room.
That was the way of the war with no rear. That is why it resonates so, and why Burns, by enriching our understanding, enriches our citizenship.

His only reservation was that the program had become too politicized. He seemed similarly sympathetic to euthanasia, which he stressed was a medical term, but became critical of it when it seemed more a political action. He told how confused he and his colleagues were as patients were taken from us . . . I didn't know where to until he learned from relatives that those patients died soon in specific institutions. Upon learning the truth, I was shocked .... frightened to think it happened in an orderly state. He and his colleagues sought to find ways of saving people (by not diagnosing schizophrenia, by transferring them to private institutions less vulnerable to the killing project, or by sending them home) but mostly cooperated in ways they thought they had to. Psychiatrists varied between being oppositional or indifferent. The latter seemed in the majority and accepted [the project]. And since it was a state policy they did not wish to oppose it. Much depended upon the stance, of hospital directors and of local medical-administrative authorities, some of whom were radical Nazis and pressed for maximum compliance while others sought to minimize the number of patients taken. Dr. E. went on to explain that he and other psychiatrists came to distinguish between dishonest opinions from those experts who acted out of sheer political motivation, on the one hand; and, on the other, honest judgments from those experts, much fewer in number, who based their opinions on genuine medical considerations. As he talked, it became clear to me that a focus on this distinction had enabled him and his colleagues to avoid moral truths concerning the euthanasia project: to avoid recognizing that what they viewed as honest medical opinions about schizophrenic or mentally deficient patients became the basis for mass murder of these patients. Yet his visible pain as he discussed these matters suggested that he could not avoid that recognition, and probably had not even then. After we had been talking for a little less than. two hours, he made it clear be did not want to say more: I am nearly eighty years old, and . . . I dont want to have anything more to do with that era .... I dont want to think about it any more. His story is that of the middle-aged psychiatric functionary in a state system as a dependent, essentially obedient civil servant. While the medical killing project was too radical for such a person, he could not risk or even imagine genuine resistance, and his compromise was to combine compliance with an effort to cling to professional psychiatric standards. The result was bitterness over his own moral corruption and disillusionment toward a regime he had served. Dr. Es personal experience epitomizes the dilemma that haunts all of German psychiatry: a murderous episode in the recent past whose memory can be neither confronted and absorbed nor wished away.

Abstract: Human non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most common malignancies in the modern world. Its recurrence is mainly due to its ability to invade and metastasize. However, the precise mechanism for tumor development and metastasis is still not fully understood. To shed light on the development of lung cancer, the human giant cell lung carcinoma cell lines 95D with high metastatic potential and 95C with low metastatic potential were selected in this study. The 2 cell lines originated from the same parental cell and share a similar genetic background. In the current study, we identified 3 differentially expressed proteins in 95C and 95D cell lines, namely, PAI-RBP1, C1orf142, and COTL1, by using 2-dimensional electrophoresis proteomics analysis. We found that PAI-RBP1 and C1orf142 expression levels were higher in 95D than in 95C cells, whereas COTL1 expression level was lower in 95D when compared to 95C cells. We also confirmed these results by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction and immunoblotting analyses. The messenger RNA and protein levels of PAI-RBP1 and C1orf142 were much higher in 95D than in 95C cells, and COTL1 expression level was lower in 95D than in 95C cells. The PAI-RBP1 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry in 70 NSCLC and 7 normal lung tissue samples from patients. PAI-RBP1 expression level was higher in tumor tissues (positive staining in 87.1% of cases [61/70]) than in normal tissues (positive staining in 14.3% of cases [1/7]). In conclusion, by studying protein expression in NSCLC cell lines with high and low metastasis as well as in human lung cancer tissues, we have identified 3 proteins, namely, PAI-RBP1, C1orf142, and COTL1, which were differentially expressed in NSCLC cell lines with different metastatic potential. In addition, we also found that PAI-RBP1 might contribute to NSCLC development.

If ever there was an overused word in the coverage of new developments in the life science and healthcare industries, innovation may top most lists. This journalist holds her hand up high in guilty acknowledgement on that score. So a presentation by the chief innovation officer for Children's Hospital of Boston was particularly helpful in probing the deeper meaning of the word both for what it is and what it isn't.
Naomi Fried also mapped out a pathway for how to achieve it in a clinical setting.
First of all, innovation and invention are not the same thing. By definition, innovation is about trying out new ideas. The word "try" suggests a risk of failure before eventually achieving better results.
Here's one approach to innovation in a healthcare setting:
Identify the problem you want to solve For instance, Children's Hospital of Boston took an approach to infant cardiovascular surgery in which the body temperature is kept quite cold. But one nurse wondered about the best way to help reheat these tiny bodies.
Don't be afraid to fail At first the nurse in question tried knitted caps but they kept falling off.
Close the "operationalization" or "O-Gap." This is the administration or bureaucracy resistant to change that's present in most organizations. Experts who believe in the idea's development can help shrink it.
Idea Part 2: The nurse saw a marathon race in which participants were wrapped in Mylar blankets. She developed a turban-style hat with the material for use after babies have been through surgery. The "Mylar blanket hat" concept ended up being one of the hospital's seed grant funding projects. The idea has been patented and is in process of clinical trials.

Croatian Football Official: "Gay People are for Ballet"
Zdravko Mamic, Executive Vice President of top Croatian football team Dinamo Zagreb, spoke out against gays in football, saying "I would not have gay people playing in my national team either. Gay people are for ballet. They can be journalists or writers. They would never put their head in front of a football boot."
Though Mamic was reaffirming recent remarks made by Croatian Football Federation President Vlatko Markovic, who said "only normal people play football,"— and he wasn't talking about American football, but rather soccer, which everyone else in the world calls "football"—his point seems to be that aggressive athletes can't be gay. To that, we think some gay former NFL players would disagree with both men:
In 1975, running back Dave Kopay became the first professional football player to come out. Kopay's career ran from 1964 to 1972, and he played for several NFL teams including; the San Francisco 49ers, the Washington Redskins, and the Detroit Lions.
Roy Simmons was an offensive lineman with the New York Giants from 1979 to 1982, and played in the Super Bowl with the Washington Redskins in 1983. He came out of the closet in 1992 on The Phil Donahue Show.
Esera Tuaolo played defensive tackle in the NFL from 1991 to 1998, and played nose tackle for the Atlanta Falcons in the 1999 Super Bowl. He came out in 2002 on HBO's Real Sports and appeared on the cover of The Advocate later that year.
And of course, the world's most famous male ballet dancer is heterosexual Mikhail Baryshnikov, who had a daughter in 1981 with actress Jessica Lange, and three more children with former ballerina Lisa Rinehart.
In Mamic and Markovic's defense, perhaps they've never heard of Google or Wikipedia. Then again, bigots generally don't like facts all that much.

Israeli aid to Philippines in wake of typhoon
Medical facility set up in Bogo, in Cebu province
The Israeli field hospital has already treated hundreds of patients, including many children. The name chosen by the grateful parents of the first Philippine baby born in the field hospital was "Israel".

Two Israeli planes carrying personnel and equipment brought a 147 member delegation as well as 100 tons of humanitarian and medical supplies were despatched to the Philippines to aid the people struck by Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda).
It was decided to locate the Israeli medical facility in Bogo, in the northern province of Cebu. While headlines have mostly focused on chaos in and around Tacloban City, the typhoon also left a trail of violent destruction on Cebu Island, where the most basic of necessities are lacking. Provincial officials say as many as 90 percent of buildings on the north of Cebu were badly damaged by winds and rain, which also flattened crops, downed power lines and blocked roads.
Bogo is among the cities hardest hit by the typhoon in Cebu province. Bogo City Mayor Celestino Martinez Jr: "The typhoon destroyed everything we have here, from infrastructure to agriculture."
An advanced multi-department medical facility - comprising a children's ward, an obstetrics ward, an ambulatory care ward, and a general admission ward - was rapidly established to provide medical care for disaster casualties, operated by IDF doctors, nurses, paramedics, pharmacists, mental health professionals, x-ray technicians, and lab workers.

Ebyline Blog
More great analysis of journalist salaries from Ebyline, whose Susan Johnston and Peter Beller report on reporters' "lost decade." Hacks' median incomes outperformed U.S. median incomes from 2001-2008, Johnston and Beller write, but they plunged below that figure in 2008 and are leveling off well below it.
By last year reporters were making 8%, or almost $3,000, less than the typical American, not chump change. This rapid, recent undoing of a decade's worth of gains looks a lot like the portfolio returns of many U.S. stock market investors who saw all of their profits from the long, slow tech-bubble rebound wiped out from 2007 to 2009 in what market pundits have dubbed a lost decade.
The median reporter salary in 2011 was $31,580, which is $2,880 less than the median salary of $34,460. Johnston and Beller relied on data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. But here's where stats get confusing: The U.S. Census reported journalists' median salaries were $50,000. A Georgetown University study published this year found median incomes for people with journalism degrees ranged from $32,000 annually for recent grads to $66,000 for people with graduate degrees. Not long ago, Johnston used BLS data to find the highest median incomes for journalists by state and found that Florida was a pretty swell place for reporters while Wyoming stinks on ice.
The clear lesson: Study petroleum engineering and blog on the side.

Sudden Deterioration

My dad has been suffering with this disease for several years. His decline has been gradual. Up until yesterday, he could walk a few blocks by himself with a cane, eat by himself (including pouring water into a cup), and do other basic things alone. Suddenly, yesterday morning, he broke out in a sweat and has been unable to walk at all. He is also trembling from head to toe and can't even hold a utensil. Is this kind of dramatic deterioration normal? It literally happened over night!
Thank you.
Thank you.

It is not normal to experience a very sudden deterioration in Parkinson's disease. I would take him to the primary care doc and have him checked for infections and other causes and also hydrate with plain water (a lot of it). Also, visit the neurologist and get PD meds optimized.

Legislators called attention to what they called acute shortages of health care workers in the Central Valley during an Assembly hearing last week in Bakersfield.
Shortages are likely to increase over the next few years for a variety of reasons, according to Assembly member and workforce committee chair Rudy Salas (D-Bakersfield).
"Here in the Central Valley, we have a great need [for health care providers]," Salas said at Thursday's legislative hearing of the Assembly Select Committee on Workforce and Vocational Development in California which focused only on health care workers.
"We looked at the doctor/patient ratio particularly," Salas said, "and we thought, 'How can we get more providers into the Valley?' … We're going to have a hard time filling that need."
The key is to train existing health care professionals to fill some jobs and to strengthen health care education to fill all kinds of health-related jobs, Salas said.
"Getting students to fill those needs will not only make a tremendous difference to health care for people, but for the quality of life here," Salas said. "That's one message I want to share with everyone here: There are jobs out there. We just have to figure out the best way to get to those jobs."
That's where the California Workforce Investment Board comes in, said Moreen Lane, a senior policy specialist for CWIB. She said effective policy changes aren't just edicts from Sacramento.
"While we're doing a lot of things at the statewide level, what's really important in health care and in the health care workforce is the work being done at the regional level," Lane said. "Health care here in Bakersfield is very different from health care in San Diego, or in San Francisco."
Education efforts in underserved areas need to focus on people growing up in those areas, said Cindy Collier, Dean of Nursing and Allied Health at Bakersfield College.
"In Kern County we're unique in that we're a little isolated," Collier said. "So I am a firm believer that we have to grow our own. What we need to look at is: How can we offer workforce development to our residents, to the people who live here?"
According to Collier, that includes increasing education efforts in middle school and high school, so that local children can handle a nursing education, for instance, at the community college level.
The need for providers and allied health workers has been well-documented, Lane said, and will increase with the aging of the state's population and the coverage increases from the Affordable Care Act.
"Right now we have a sector -- health care -- which even in the economic downturn was continuing to grow," Lane said. "And now we're adding up to 5.9 million more people in California who will have access to health care coverage. You can imagine what this means for new jobs and new opportunities."
Add to that, she said, the impending retirement of a large section of the provider network and you're looking at a huge challenge for California and a huge potential boon to its workers.
"The fastest-growing sector within health care is allied health," Lane said. She said a short-hand definition of allied health means anyone in health care who's not a doctor or nurse.
"We see a 63% increase in the allied health care workforce need between 2010 and 2030," Lane said.

DHS news release
May 29, 2007
General contact: Bonnie Widerburg, 971-673-1282
Program contact: Jae Douglas, Ph.D., 503-872-5356
Groundwater contamination Public Health Assessment released; public meeting scheduled
An assessment released today by the Oregon Department of Human Services Public Health Division shows that groundwater contamination from the Union Pacific Railroad Yard (UPRR) poses some health risk to residents of the Eugene River Road and Trainsong neighborhoods.
The UPRR rail yard has operated continuously in North Eugene for more than 100 years. Work performed there included locomotive maintenance and fueling, railcar repair, wood treatment and a diesel shop.
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has been working with UPPR since 1994 on the identification and clean-up of industrial chemicals from these activities, including solvents such as trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE), which have been detected in the groundwater of nearby neighborhoods. Some of these chemicals have been classified as a probable human carcinogen by the federal Environmental Protection Agency.
The assessment finds that nearby irrigation wells pose no apparent public health hazard if residents use the water to irrigate gardens or hose off outside surfaces, but that alternative water sources should be used for drinking purposes.
It also finds the contaminated groundwater is emitting vapors, air contaminated with TCE and PCE, that are making their way into the crawlspaces and possibly into the living spaces of some homes in these neighborhoods. Inhalation exposure to the air in living spaces is not likely to result in adverse health effects. However, because these vapor levels exceed health guidelines at levels identified as most protective of human health, these levels represent a public health hazard and action is needed to prevent future exposure to residents in these homes.
The DHS Public Health Division Superfund Health Investigation and Education program (SHINE), which made the assessment, also recommends that:
The public is invited to comment on the report. The DHS Public Health Division will hold a meeting to discuss the findings of the assessment with residents is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Thursday, May 31, at the Red Cross Building, 862 Bethel Drive, in Eugene. SHINE staff will be available at 6:30 to talk with residents individually. Formal presentations will begin at 7:15. Representatives from DEQ will also be on hand to provide additional information about the status of the clean-up.

Sorun Corp., a Japanese company that consults on information systems, and Digital Hollywood, a Japanese digital creation school, have announced they will be investing in a new digital media school set up at Nankai University in the northeastern Chinese city of Tianjin, reports Yahoo.com.
The Tianjin Sorun Digital Media school will open this fall with capital of 210 million yen (1.8 million dollars). Sorun Corp. will invest 81% of the capital, with Digital Hollywood and Nankai University supplying 9.5% each.
The school will offer a four-year program letting students learn everything from digital creation to business skills.
Digital Hollywood will provide instructors from Japan and create educational programs modified for Chinese students. Sorun will take responsibility for the school's management and help students find employment.
Chinese television airs nearly 5,000 hours worth of animation a year, but the government hopes to raise it to 16,700 hours and grow the domestic production percentage from 10% to 60%, reports Japan's NIHON KEIZAI business newspaper.

Daniel Bryan celebrates his win at Wrestlemania 30.

NEW ORLEANS - More than 75,000 fans poured into the Mercedes-Benz Superdome Sunday night. The crowd was the fifth-largest in the 30-year history of Wrestlemania. And for a venue that has hosted numerous large concerts, the show Sunday night was the largest-grossing entertainment event ever at the facility, according to a spokesperson.
But, entertainment or sport - or a combination of both - the event rivaled many of the biggest sporting events for economic impact as many of the fans came a long way to see their favorites.

Expect to have an extremely rough riding experience once the Gmc Sierra 2500 strut assembly is already ruined, making handling awful. You'll notice a huge difference in ride quality, as your car flops, lurches, and vibrates whenever you hit the brakes or corner.

How to buy crime scene investigation products
Here are some things to consider when purchasing CSI equipment
By Tim Dees
The typical citizen may believe you can trot out every shiny gadget they've seen on TV to investigate the break-in of their lawn shed, but we know different. With a limited, real-world budget, what do you buy? Here are some things to consider when purchasing CSI products:
What's your experience?
Can you homebrew?
Basics are important
Shelf life
Big ticket purchases
Whether you have had to buy a service is a big factor in assessing whether you really need the benefit of an expensive device. How much did that service cost, how many times did you use it, and how many times would you have used it if it had been available in-house? Obtaining funding can be contingent on showing what savings you will realize by having the desired gear.
And, just in case you didn't know, about half the stuff you see on CSI doesn't exist.
Tim Dees is a retired police officer and the former editor of two major law enforcement websites who writes and consults on technology applications in criminal justice. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

- From: Townsville Bulletin
- February 27, 2014
AN unwavering belief that her hard work will pay off makes Micaela Cocks a Townsville Fire game-winner.
And it's why the Dandenong Rangers won't want to relax on the New Zealand international for one second when the teams clash in Sunday's Women's National Basketball League preliminary final.
The weekend's elimination final proved that.
Experiencing an off shooting day, Cocks broke Melbourne Boomer hearts just as the visitors seemed to be finishing the stronger when she nailed a clutch three-pointer.
She then put the icing on the cake with a pair of cool-as-you-like free throws at the death.
No matter how many shots she has missed before it, the point guard believes the next will drop.
"I know I do the reps, I know I do the work … so I just shot it and I felt good," Cocks said.
"Every shot is a new shot and if you don't take it, you won't make it. So you've got to take those shots and be confident because I know I've put in the work and I can make them."
There are few other players that work as hard as 27-year-old Cocks.
She is a constant presence at voluntary individual sessions held by Fire coaching staff and even yesterday as the players enjoyed a scheduled day off, Cocks was hard at it.
For 45 minutes she knocked down shot after shot at Townsville RSL Stadium.
It's why Fire co-captain Rachael McCully – who threw the pass to Cocks for her crucial three – would never hesitate in getting the ball to her fellow guard when it mattered most.
"The work that she does is ridiculous, compared to any player in the team," McCully said of her tenacious teammate.
"She would put up the most shots during the week on the training track and I definitely have the confidence in her to make the right decision and obviously knock that shot down when the time comes.
"It makes my life a lot easier to know that players like her and Steph (Cumming) are going to take the right shots at the right time."
Dandenong are the only team Townsville have not been able to beat so far in 2013-14 – losing all three encounters – and have dropped their past two games against the multiple national league champs by damning margins (15 and 20 points).
But Cocks said the Fire were unfazed by the Rangers' dominance over them during the regular season.
"We hadn't beaten them last year (before the preliminary final) either," she said, referring to Townsville's stunning win over the Rangers to advance to the 2012-13 grand final. "It's a new game in the finals, so I don't think past games matter."
The Fire are also boosted by the knowledge they will head to the Rangers' court with the best away record in the club's history, winning eight of 12 matches on the road.
"We can take confidence with us. But we also know that doesn't mean we're easily going to be able to do it," she said. "We've got to stay focused on the little things and processes rather than focus on the result."
Townsville fly to Melbourne tomorrow for Sunday's clash.
