US Labor Department's OSHA cites Maine sawmill
for repeat and serious violations of workplace safety standards
NC Hunt Inc. faces more than $79,000 in proposed penalties
AUGUSTA, Maine – The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited sawmill NC Hunt Inc. for three alleged repeat violations and seven serious violations of workplace safety standards. The facility in Jefferson faces a total of $79,310 in proposed fines following an inspection by OSHA's Augusta office begun in December 2012.
The repeat violations include not using energy control procedures to prevent employees from being struck by a logging carriage and for a lack of barriers and warning signage to prevent entry to the logging carriage path and elevated walkways that lacked required guardrails. Similar violations were cited in 2009. A repeat violation exists when an employer previously has been cited for the same or a similar violation of a standard, regulation, rule or order at any other facility in federal enforcement states within the last five years. Proposed penalties for the repeat violations total $53,900.
"These recurring hazards exposed employees to the hazards of falls and being struck by machinery. It's imperative that employers take effective and ongoing action to ensure that hazards, once corrected, remain corrected," said William Coffin, OSHA's area director for Maine.
The serious violations include using an industrial work truck with a defective emergency brake, lack of machine guarding to prevent employee contact with the moving parts of a saw and a grinder, an ungrounded extension cord and incomplete energy control procedures. A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known. Proposed penalties for the serious violations total $25,410.
More information about hazards and working safely in sawmills is available at http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/sawmills/index.html.
NC Hunt Inc. has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and proposed penalties to comply, meet with OSHA or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
To ask questions, obtain compliance assistance, file a complaint, or report workplace hospitalizations, fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to workers, the public should call OSHA's toll-free hotline at 800-321-OSHA (6742) or the agency's Augusta office at 207-626-9160.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA's role is to ensure these conditions for America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance.

Good to know if there are worms under your rock.
1. I train hard.
2. I was born to enjoy these certain kinds of things.
And the only way to figure that out is to run 100 miles all-out without the training to support you. [P.S. Sponsors, don't worry because I'll never do this again. I promise.]
Somehow I PRed. But I felt like I was going to DIE. In terms of cardio-endurance, it felt awesome, but the pounding on my legs was jarring. After I finished, I waddled inside the giant lounge-cabin to hang out with the DNFers and injured/resting runners. I stretched out by the fire, telling jokes to the people around me because I had thought-up some good ones while running. Annette Bednosky was there, and I was so thrilled to catch up, I jumped up to see her! And I promptly blacked out. (Because you don't jump up after lying down after running 100 miles…You live, and you learn...)
The medic launched himself toward me and took my BP and told me it was pretty low, and I assured him it was always like that. "No worries. I control my blood pressure with my mind." And then he asked me if my side ponytail throws me out of chiropractic alignment. I had never thought of that, but I answered, "Sir, I believe it is worth the risk." Because it's important to look like the decade you were born in.
Umstead was a great day, and it felt so FREE! No expectations. It was an adventure that I'll remember forever…and more so now that I am in the practice of reflecting upon these things. Did I run in the past? Probably, but I don't remember the specifics. My mileage log says I did—A LOT…like up to 180 miles per week in college. But I had no real plan and didn't dwell on it. While running, I never thought about running because sometimes the last thing running is about...is running.
Running is the freest aspect of my life. It's just there, and somehow everyday I wake up and train without pause. I never used to think about it, and that's why I liked it so much. It was pressure-free. So I was initially hesitant to start a running blog because I didn't want to turn my lens in on itself. When you bring your life under scrutiny, one of two things can happen:
1. You become disillusioned and feel pressured by your own normativity.
2. You perfect your skill. You become more aware of different things holding you back, and you can really start to succeed.
I was afraid of both. Because sometimes you flip over a beautiful rock and find a pile of worms. And because once you're aware of something, you're sort of obligated to care. And I don't know how to half-way care. About anything. If I were more relaxed, I would not be a Philosophy student at Yale. I'd pursue my secondary passion: street rapping about thug lives in the 'hood. Or I would have settled for Princeton. [Ohhhhh Princeton burn! Go Bulldogs.]
Anyway, I'm trotting around right now, enjoying my first New England winter (NOT!). I have made final adjustments to my racing schedule [see on right side of screen). I'm really happy with it and think it's sustainable. You guys, life is good. I hope you have a week full of joy and adventures. Homegirl out.
5 comments:
I love the way you write these things (then again, I've been reading Paul Tillich and everything seems less dry by comparison). After failing in my first couple 100 attempts, I'd told people I was planning on doing the first of one a friend was starting (Zumbro) - it was in two weeks! - I hadn't trained for it, went from first place to last, walked the last half, but got my first finish. Discovered I am NOT a natural at the distance.ReplyDelete
Currently rocking the balding guy with greying ponytail look myself, whichever decade that belongs to.
1.Paul Tillich?! Oh, man. Steve we have a lot more in common than just running. Christian existential philosophy is one of my favorite hobbies. Ha! So awesome.ReplyDelete
2. I fully support the balding greying ponytail look. You can work any kind of hair if you do it with confidence.
3. No worries if you're not a natural at 100s. Because training can cover a number of ills. Also, my dad LOVES telling people about how I was mediocre at all sports except distance running. Maybe you'll some day find the sport that was made for you!
4. Thanks for the feedback! I checked out your blog and love it! Have a great week!
Another classic, Homegirl! BTW, very glad you'll be at OD.ReplyDelete

I'm disappointed you didn't take the street rapper route. I ordered roclite 268 shoes for training from my local shop (sadly there stock of Inov 8 shoes is limited, hope to get them in a week) per your recommendation. I'm headed for a run. 25's the goal but sue me if I add in the last 1.2. Plan to do a few normal marathons as well this year. Hopefully qualify for boston.ReplyDelete
You're hilarious. I love your posts :)ReplyDelete

|The Perspective
University High School (UHS) is an accelerated public high school located in Tucson, Arizona. Originally known as Special Projects High School (SPHS), University High School is in the Tucson Unified School District (TUSD). The mission statement of UHS identifies it as "a special function high school which serves students who are academically focused and intellectually gifted and provides curriculum and social support not offered in the comprehensive high school."
Location and Features[edit]
The school currently shares a centrally located campus with Rincon High School. UHS was located at the Tucson High School campus before moving to Rincon's campus at the beginning of September 1985.
The mascot at UHS is the penguin. When it was known as Special Projects High School, the mascot was the skunk. Both mascots give the school its reputable colors of black and white. While UHS is a public school, entry is based upon a combination of exam scores and 7th and 8th grade GPAs. Unlike most schools, the only students who are admitted after freshman year replace the students who leave.
Relationship with Rincon[edit]
University High students participate in Rincon's athletics and fine arts programs. Students from both schools are generally able to participate in classes that are only offered by the other school. A few extracurricular activities are separate between the schools, mostly competitive clubs such as Academic Decathlon, the chess team, Mock Trial, Model United Nations, Science Olympiad, etc. Generally, school clubs are commonly open to both Rincon and UHS students. The TUSD school district has planned to move University High School many times, but it has not happened yet. They will have their own fine arts and athletics programs and might take the campus of Palo Verde High School, both members of TUSD. If this happens, whichever school UHS is moved to will send its students to Rincon.
AP Offerings[edit]
|This section does not cite any sources. (August 2010)
UHS students graduate after taking a minimum of 8 Advanced Placement (AP) classes (AP English as upperclassmen and AP US History and AP US Government), while many opt to take additional AP courses, some even complete as many as 16. In 2004, the school had the greatest percentage of students passing the AP exams for United States History, Comparative Politics and English Language of any high school in the world. Also, nearly all of students continue on to college with 50-75% achieving one or more scholarships. As of 2009, the following AP courses are offered (28 of the 31 that the College Board offers):
- AP English Literature
- AP German Language
- AP English Language
- AP Spanish Language
- AP Spanish Literature
- AP European History
- AP World History
- AP Biology
- AP Chemistry
- AP Physics B
- AP Microeconomics
- AP Macroeconomics
- AP Phys C (Electricity & Magnetism)
- AP U.S. History
- AP Govt & Politics: US
- AP History of Art
- AP Calculus AB
- AP Studio Art
- AP Calculus BC
- AP Music Theory
- AP Statistics
- AP Psychology
- AP Human Geography
- AP French Language
- AP Computer Science A
- AP French Literature
- AP Computer Sci AB
- AP Environmental Sciences
Honors as a College Preparatory School[edit]
UHS is routinely recognized prominently as a top institution on lists and rankings of the nation's best high schools.
US News and World Report consistently identifies UHS as one of "America's Best High Schools" out of approximately 19,400 schools nationwide.[2]
|Ranked #7 [3]
|Ranked #28
|Ranked #4
In 2014, the Washington Post recognizes UHS at #28[4] on its review of "America's Most Challenging High Schools," that ranks the 1,900 highest-performing high schools nationally.[5]
In 2013, the Daily Beast listed UHS at #19 on its annual list of the "Best 2,000 High Schools in the Nation.[6]
In May 2006, Newsweek named UHS as one of "The Public Elites," schools that, "NEWSWEEK excluded...from the list of Best High Schools because so many of their students score well above average on the SAT and ACT."[7]
On January 30, 2013 Jonathan Rothschild the mayor of Tucson, Arizona declared said day to be University High School Day.
In 2005, it was honored as a Blue Ribbon school.[8]

Story: Under certain radiation exposure this artifact opens a portal. Presumably the portal will lead to another artifact in the parallel world. Mission: Enter the portal and find the artifact in the parallel world. You will receive our new development, a suit that will allow you to safely get through the portal, and theoretically protect you from possible dangers in the parallel world. Once you have found the artifact, press this button on your suit and you will get teleported back to the Black Mesa laboratory.
Full version of Half-Life: Before modification. [With Music & HD models] Version 1.1 changelog: - All music replaced with new one. - New voice for scientist. - New menu background. - Some new textures.
I recently finished this game... it's very short :(
Is this a full game?
nope. 1 map
I can play the game on not original half-life?
Horrible failure of a game. I am embarrassed to say I like half life after seeing this horrid monstrosity of a "game".
The models are bad, most things are stolen from other games, the music is horrible, the storyline is nonexistent and bad, the voice acting is crap, the enemies are all easy except the boss, which is a T-pose niniath with a op tongue. This is bad. Just bad and bland.
It's free, and I feel robbed. I should be payed and given a gold medal for playing this goat crap.
The game lasts about 20 minutes max. An hour is sort of like playing a normal sized game for 320 hours extra.
I feel sorry for anyone ever who ever played this "game".
And may god have mercy on your souls.
Final verdict: Negative 5 out of 10.

Article: Developmental Immunotoxicology Assessment in the Rat: Age, Gender and Strain Considerations[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The goals of this project were to determine the conditions for optimal immune assessment following in utero exposure to lead (Pb) and to evaluate the roles of age of assessment, gender, and genetic strain of rat on the observed immunotoxicologic outcomes following exposure. A combined delayed-type hypersensitivity response (DHR) to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) and anti-KLH IgG antibody were assessed as potential biomarkers for developmental immunotoxicity with age, gender, site of antigenic challenge, and strain as variables. Studies were conducted using both male and female Crl:CD (SD)BR or Fisher 344 rats. The heavy metal, Pb, was used as a known developmental immunotoxin. IgG antibody against KLH antigen was measured using an enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA). Following sensitization with KLH, animals received a challenge injection in either the earlobe or footpad with KLH and the DTH measured 24 hours later using a spring-loaded caliper. Sprague-Dawley (CD) weanlings produced lower levels of antibody and a decreased DHR compared with adults; only adult males had a significantly increased DHR while both male and female adults produced higher levels of antibody than both genders of weanlings. The DHR was greater in young animals when challenged in the footpad vs. the earlobe. Females had optimum antibody levels with a DHR challenge in the earlobe whereas males had optimum levels when challenged in the footpad. In a strain comparison between weanlings exposed in utero to control or 250 ppm Pb acetate in drinking water and rats examined at five weeks of age, the CD vs. F344 rats had higher antibody responses; in contrast, F344 rats exhibited an elevated DHR. Pb exposure in utero via the pregnant dams produced differential gender effects in the juveniles of both strains. Females had a significantly decreased Pb-induced DHR (p

ABSTRACT: The delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) assay has a lengthy history in immunotoxicity testing since it was one of the original functional assays included in the National Toxicology Program (NTP) immunotoxicology test panel. Based on NTP data analysis, the DTH assay is among the most predictive immunotoxicity tests when included with at least two other immune parameters. The DTH assay has the advantage of being: (1) a useful measure of cell-mediated immunity, (2) an in vivo assay where there is less opportunity for ex vivo confounders and (3) a clinically significant human correlate to the tuberculin test. Disadvantages of the DTH assay are that it is potentially labor-intensive to perform, it is somewhat resistant to automation and, when compared with the cyctotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) assay, it is a relatively crude measurement. However, some groups have been attempting to address the limitations of the DTH assays (see Note 1). The assay is related to the contact hypersensitivity response (CHR), which is covered in another chapter. The DTH response has been used as an indicator of cell-mediated immune status and is dependent upon both T helper 1(Th1)-driven responses as well as cell recruitment and chemotaxis to a local site. As a result, the DTH functional response may be influenced by disruption of either Th1-driven, antigen-dependent T cell development or mobilization of sensitized T cells to a local site. The present chapter describes four common protocols with consideration restricted to protein and xenogeneic cell immunogens.

ABSTRACT: While the history of immunotoxicology research involving experimental animals of immature ages dates back over several decades, there exist remarkably little data, to date, directly comparing the impact of developmental status on immunotoxicological risk. Given the size of the nonadult human population and the potential for differential vulnerability among the various ages, this represents a serious gap of knowledge in efforts to minimize environmentally linked health risks. This article frames the issues surrounding developmental immunotoxicological evaluations. In particular, the issues introduced include those of potential animal models, strain/genotype selection, gender, age of exposure, and age of assessment. Recent research results involving early exposure to lead (Pb) and other chemicals are discussed to highlight the nature of the decisions that are available and the potential cost-benefit associated with various approaches to evaluation.
Article: Exposure to Lead during Critical Windows of Embryonic Development: Differential Immunotoxic Outcome Based on Stage of Exposure and Gender[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Previous rat studies with lead (Pb) have shown that exposure throughout the full gestational period results in persistent immunotoxicity detectable in both juvenile and adult offspring. Gender differences are also evident. However, little is known about the persistent immunotoxic effects of Pb when administered during specific stages of embryonic development. Adult Sprague-Dawley female rats were administered Pb acetate (or control acetate) in their drinking water early in gestation (days 3-9) or late in gestation (days 15-21). Significantly depressed delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses as well as elevated IL-10 production, relative monocyte numbers, and increased relative thymic weights were observed in late-gestation Pb-exposed female offspring assessed as adults. In contrast, late-gestation Pb-treated male offspring had significantly increased IL-12 production and decreased IL-10 production, while the DTH response, relative monocyte numbers and thymic weights were unchanged. With early exposure, the primary alteration was decreased nitric oxide production in Pb-treated males, whereas in Pb-treated females nitrite production was unaltered. These results suggest that at the Pb dosage employed, the embryo may be more sensitive to the full range of Pb-induced immunotoxic effects with late gestational Pb exposure, and the effects of Pb on DTH function are more pronounced in females. The data also indicate that adherent splenocytes (probably macrophages) and T lymphocytes are the primary immune cells affected during fetal Pb exposure, and that gender may influence the impact of Pb exposure on these cells. Therefore, additional developmental immunotoxicity studies are needed to examine critical windows of immune development for immunotoxicity and differential susceptibility based on gender.
Article: Gender-based profiles of developmental immunotoxicity to lead in the rat: Assessment in juveniles and adults[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Gender-based differences in immunotoxicity induced by the heavy metal lead (Pb) have been observed both in the juvenile chicken and the adult rat following low-level exposure during embryonic development. To better define the gender-based differences, as related to dose following in utero exposure to Pb, potential differential sensitivities were examined after exposure of F344 rats to low concentrations of Pb (0, 50, 100, or 250 ppm Pb) ad libitum throughout gestation. Immune assessment was performed in juveniles (5 wk old) and young adults (13 wk old). At the highest (250 ppm) Pb concentration examined, the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response was depressed in females relative to gender-matched controls at both ages; relative spleen weights and relative neutrophil numbers were increased while relative and absolute monocyte numbers and relative basophil numbers were decreased at 13 but not 5 wk of age. In contrast, 250 ppm Pb-treated males did not differ in these endpoints. With in utero exposure to 100 ppm Pb, 13-wk-old females again had decreased relative and absolute monocyte numbers and increased relative neutrophil numbers, although the DTH response was unchanged. Males (with 100 ppm Pb) had increased relative neutrophil numbers, decreased relative lymphocytes, and transiently increased nitrite production seen at 5, but not 13, wk of age. After gestational exposure to 50 ppm Pb, minimal immunotoxic effects were observed in either males or females at either developmental age assessed. These results suggest that differential gender-based immunotoxicity profiles exist after gestational Pb exposure depending on the concentration of Pb administered to the dam. In utero exposure of dams to 250 ppm Pb results in more profound immunotoxicity in females than males. Males arenot more sensitive to lower concentrations of Pb than females. Since the 50 ppm exposure produced minimal changes, these data may provide information to establish a no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) for in utero exposure to Pb. Additionally, while most effects were evident at both juvenile and adult ages, some changes were not fully evident until measured in the adult. Most changes were persistent with only one exception (male nitrite levels at 100 ppm).
Article: Gender differences in developmental immunotoxicity to lead in the chicken: Analysis following a single early low-level exposure in ovo[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Lead has been shown previously to induce immunotoxic effects on macrophage and T-cell-associated functions after full-gestational exposure. To gain a better understanding of a single developmental exposure and the potential role of gender in immunotoxic responses to low levels of lead, 5-d-old avian embryos were injected once with lead acetate (5 or 10 microg). As juveniles (4 wk of age), animals were immunized with a foreign antigen, bovine serum albumin (BSA). At 6 and 8 wk, animals were sensitized with a self antigen, thyroglobulin (Tg). Immune parameters were examined at 6 and 10 wk of age. In males, anti-BSA immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels were significantly increased at the highest lead treatment level compared to sodium acetate controls, while female antibody production was unaltered. Similarly, after early exposure to lead, males (which were noninducible for anti-thyroglobulin antibodies in sodium acetate controls) were induced to produce autoanti-thyroglobulin IgG. Lead exposure did not markedly alter autoantibody levels in females, although, unlike males, control females could be induced to produce autoantibody to thyroglobulin. Males differed significantly in total leukocyte counts between treatment groups, whereas females did not. No marked differences were observed in males or females in the delayed-type hypersensitivity response, lymphocytic infiltration of thyroids, or in spleen, thymus, or bursa weights following exposure to lead. These results suggest that there is a differential immunotoxic effect based on gender after a single in ovo exposure to lead. Therefore, when examining the developmental immunotoxic effects of a metal such as lead, gender is a potential risk factor.
Article: Characterization of an approach to developmental immunotoxicology assessment in the rat using SRBC as the antigen[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The objective of this research was to determine whether immunotoxicological test procedures optimized to evaluate the immune system of adults could be integrated into studies with younger animals. All studies were conducted using both male and female Crl:CD (SD)BR rat pups and weanlings. Baseline values for absolute and relative splenic lymphocyte populations were quantified using flow cytometry in unimmunized animals. Baseline values for the primary humoral immune response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) were established and optimized using either an enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) or the plaque forming cell (PFC) assay. The impact of SRBC immunization on the histology of the spleen was also evaluated. Responses for each age group were compared both within and between litters. Analysis by flow cytometry indicated that 10-day-old rat pups have significantly lower B and T cell numbers compared to weanlings and adults. Due to the difficulty in administering SRBC by tail vein injection, rat pups received SRBC intraperitoneally; but were still unable to generate a primary IgM response. Histologically, no germinal centers were observed in rat pups immunized with SRBC. Taken together, the above results suggest that the spleens of rat pups consist predominantly of functionally immature lymphocytes. Analysis by flow cytometry indicated that weanlings have similar levels of B and T cells compared to adults. Results with the ELISA indicated that the SRBC-specific IgM antibody titer for weanlings was considerably less compared to the titer obtained for young adult rats, while results with the PFC assay indicated a response in weanlings which was within the historical range of responses for adult rats. The latter results were consistent with the histological analysis in that prominent germinal centers were observed in weanlings immunized with SRBC. Based on our flow cytometric, ELISA, and PFC assay data, the litter can be used as the unit of comparison for developmental immunotoxicity. Our results with SRBC suggest that it may not be possible to evaluate a humoral immune functional parameter in rat pups due to the apparent immature status of their immune cells; however, additional antigens need to be examined. Results in weanlings suggest that an antibody response of sufficient magnitude to SRBC can be demonstrated with the PFC assay; but that a high background may preclude the use of the SRBC-specific IgM ELISA. This project was a two-year project and is completed. Publication/presentation information:

ABSTRACT: Lead has been shown to exert toxic effects during early development. In these in vivo and ex vivo experiments, the effect of lead on the immune system of the developing embryo was assessed. Nine-week-old female Fischer 344 rats were exposed to lead acetate (0, 100, 250, and 500 ppm lead) in their drinking water during breeding and pregnancy (exposure was discontinued at parturition). Offspring received no additional lead treatment after birth. Immune function was assessed in female offspring at 13 weeks of age. Dams in lead-exposed groups were not different from controls with respect to the immune endpoints used in these experiments; however, in the offspring, lead modulated important immune parameters at modest exposure levels. Macrophage cytokine and effector function properties (tumor necrosis factor-alpha and nitric oxide production) were elevated in the 250 ppm group, while cell-mediated immune function was depressed, as shown by a decrease in delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions in the 250 ppm group. Interferon-gamma levels were decreased in the 500 ppm treatment group. Serum levels of IgE were increased in rats exposed to 100 ppm lead. These results indicate that exposure of mothers to moderate levels of lead produces chronic immune modulation in their F344 rat offspring exposed in utero. Since the mothers were not susceptible to chronic immune alterations, a developmental bias to the immunotoxic effects of lead is indicated. The differences observed are consistent with the possibility that lead may bias T helper subset development and/or function, resulting in alterations in the balance among type 1 and type 2 immune responses.

Nationals re-sign Chien-Ming Wang
Updated: December 16, 2010, 8:55 PM ETAssociated Press
WASHINGTON -- The Washington Nationals have re-signed Chien-Ming Wang, who is trying to come back from shoulder surgery and hasn't pitched since July 2009.
The 30-year-old right-hander gets a one-year major league contract. He went 1-6 with a 9.64 ERA in 2009, then missed all of last season.
Wang was a 19-game winner in 2006 and 2007, starting the New York Yankees' postseason opener both years, but he injured his right foot while running the bases in June 2008 and missed the last ...

Lawrence Woodward OBE is stepping down as Director of the Organic Research Centre. He will be succeeded by Professor Nic Lampkin, who has been joint director with Lawrence since February 2009.
Lawrence Woodward has played a pivotal role in the Organic Research Centre since it was founded. Over more than 30 years, he has brought to the role of Director a remarkable sense of vision and clarity on the balance between principles and practice and a drive that has ensured the organisation has consistently made a significant impact. As a result, the Organic Research Centre has been at the forefront of the development of the organic movement and sector both in the UK and internationally.
"As we arrive at the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Organic Research Centre, we have to take steps to ensure that the organisation can meet the challenges ahead," says Lawrence Woodward. "Although I still have plenty to give, a fresh perspective and drive is needed, which I am confident Nic and his team will provide. I have enjoyed working with Nic in the last 15 months and am looking forward to contributing to ORC's continuing success in my personal capacity."
"I am following in Lawrence's footsteps with some trepidation, conscious of his legacy and the many personal relationships that he has developed over the years, and aware that my more formal academic background doesn't make up fully for his creative intellectual flair," says Nic Lampkin. "I know that Lawrence will continue to support the work of the Organic Research Centre as we continue to build a truly sustainable and equitable farming and food system."

A government-wide climate research program started five years ago by the Bush administration has been plagued by delays and has not devoted enough resources to studying the effects of climate change or to disseminating the findings, an independent scientific panel has found.
But the program has clarified some scientific questions, according to a report issued by the National Academies, the nation's preeminent scientific advisory group.
The Climate Change Science Program, created in 2002 by President Bush to improve climate research across 13 government agencies, has also been hampered by priority shifts, the panel found. Those shifts have led to the grounding of Earth-observing satellites and the dismantling of programs to monitor environmental conditions on earth, concluded the report.
In a printed statement, Veerabhadran Ramanathan, the panel's chairman, said that the program's basic scientific efforts have constituted "an important initiative that has broadened our knowledge of climate change."
Among other things, the report noted, the effort has helped resolve disputes over whether the Earth's atmosphere is warming significantly or not, allowing scientists to compare data and agree that warming is occurring.
But the report cited more problems than successes in the government's research program. Of the $1.7 billion spent by the program on climate research each year, only about $25 million to $30 million has gone to studies of how climate change will affect human affairs, for better or worse, the report said.
"Discovery science and understanding of the climate system are proceeding well, but use of that knowledge to support decision-making and to manage risks and opportunities of climate change is proceeding slowly," concluded the 15-person panel, made up mainly of scientists from universities, though scientists from BP and DuPont also were included.
John H. Marburger III, the White House science advisor, issued a statement Thursday thanking the science academies for the "thoughtful review," and saying that several issues highlighted in the report "are already being addressed."
The panel found that program delays have been common: Only two of the program's 21 planned overarching reports on specific climate issues have been published in final form; only three more are in the final draft stage. And not enough effort has gone to into translating advances in climate science into information that is useful to local elected officials, farmers, water managers and others who may potentially be affected by shifts in climate, whatever the cause of those shifts, the panel found .
One problem, the panel noted, is a lack of communication between government researchers and officials, industries or communities that could be affected, said Ramanathan, the chairman of the panel, in a telephone interview.
"We don't know what they need and they don't know what we can provide," he said, referring to the government's science effort.
The program was originally framed by Bush as a way to focus research on pressing issues and produce a broad suite of results in two to five years.
A major hindrance to progress, the panel's report said, is that the climate program's director and subordinates lack the authority to allocate how money is spent.
It also emphasized the risks posed by changes in government priorities that have shifted focus away from Earth-observing satellites – the panel cited a long list of orbiting probes that were being cut or delayed – and ground-based monitoring projects like efforts to track snowpack and stream flows.
"The loss of existing and planned satellite sensors is perhaps the single greatest threat to the future success" of climate research, the report said.

Print Recipe
Ingredients1 cup fine ground yellow cornmeal
2/3 cup brown rice flour
1/3 cup spelt, kamut, or whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/2 cup almond milk
oil for muffin tin
InstructionsPreheat oven to 375F degrees. Have a 6-hole muffin tin generously oiled and ready.
In a bowl, mix all dry ingredients. Add almond milk and stir gently until just absorbed. The batter will swell and become fluffy. Be sure batter is not too thick or the muffins will be dry. If the batter is too thick, add almond milk, one tablespoon at a time.
Spoon batter into the muffin tin. Bake for 30 minutes (check on progress after 20 minutes), until the tops turn light golden brown. Once baked, the muffins should easily lift out of the tin with a dinner knife.
Place the muffins directly into a large serving bowl. Cover with a clean, unscented cloth to keep them moist and warm until served.
Like some corn breads, this is a little crumbly. No sweetening has been added to the recipe, so feel free to top the muffin with a little maple syrup, agave, or jam -- or eat the muffins on their own or with any meal. From Almond Essence cookbook.

Alternate title: Seven Years, Three Days
Former college friends, out of touch, reunite for a weekend after one of them, Alex, slits his wrists. The main difference between "About Alex" and "The Big Chill" is that Alex (Jason Ritter) — who even shares a name with the unseen character in that Lawrence Kasdan film — survives his attempt at suicide and joins the party. Instead of baby boomers who regret having turned into yuppies, the new movie gives us millennials who have somehow turned into yuppies, the acknowledged recession notwithstanding. — Ben Kenigsberg

OMG this is amazing and does exactly what it says which is a rarity for some many cosmetics that say they will and never do...I love this..firstly to let you know, i have NEVER grown my nails...WHY? coz i have a vitamin D deficiency and as soon as it growth it instantly chips...and my nails are soo thin that you could actually bend them form side to side..alas i gave into getting fake nails and it ruined my nails even further and I thought I would never be able to grow my nails..I heard about this from MUA...I LOVE U MUA!!!...and i thought i have nothing to loose so i gave it a go and ordered one from ebay coz i live in australia and you dont get it here.it was my 20bucks well spent i should say....for the first time all my nails are evenly grown to the same length and not chipped..i LOVE it...and i will keep using it. but u need to remember to re apply every 2 days and on the weekends remove it with a nail polish remover and re apply ...thereby avoiding buildup...
seriously I LOVE this and every1 who knows how i feel when you can never grow your fragile nails should give this a go

I love this product. I have a lot of Zoya polishes, so I bought this product. I used this as a base coat with all of my manicures. My nails definitely grow faster using this as a base coat. It is also fantastic at keeping my manicures chip free. All of my polishes seem to stick to my nails like glue when using Qtica. It is kind of pricey though, but I get mine at my local nail supply store where there is a first Sunday sale every month, so the price isn't that bad for the results it gives.

I bought this based on all the glowing reviews here and wow am I disappointed! I have crappy natural nails that break and split so I thought this would be the one to try. It doesn't stay on at all. It chips and peels right off. I followed the directions to a "t" and this stuff did nothing. I actually had 2 nails break right off after one week of this stuff. Not impressed!!!

This is my all-time HG. It does everything I could ever wish for: prevent staining (I wear dark colors a lot), strengthen my nails (if I accidentally hit my nails against something now, they don't break!), make them grow super fast (this may be a slight drawback for some, but I don't mind frequent filing), and cure my peelies for good (I had SUCH a problem with peeling nails). Before trying this, my nails would always grow to a certain length, only to peel or break off one by one (this cycle went on for years). Not anymore. I finally have long nails! I will always repurchase this. I swear it's magic in a bottle.

Works great, as the other reviews have commented. Although, it took me some tweaking to get it to work best. At first I would put a coat or two on, another coat every few days and then take it off in a week. However, it really peeled this way and didn't stay on.
Best way is to put a coat on and protect it with the extended top coat from Qtica. I do the full manicure now, one coat of this as a base, two coats of Zoya nail polish, and one coat of the extended top coat. I use the half time drying accelerator (which is awesome). And I have a glossy, great, dry manicure in 10 minutes. If I apply one additional top coat mid-way though the week, I can get a full 7 days out of it, and my nails keep growing and not chipping.
I'm saving a lot of money on salon manicures, because I only have to go once every 6-8 weeks to get my cuticles all cleaned up nice. Otherwise, my polish job is just as good as salon.
Excellent combo. I have to say, the natural growth stimulator, the extended top coat, and the half time drying accelerator are now HG for me. I am done looking.

Just tried this product, and its fabulous! My nails are very thin and week, and I see a difference after using this product for a week! Pricey, but great.

QTICA Nail Growth Stimulator is the first and ONLY product (of the millions I have tried) that has ever made a difference to my thin, peeling, soft, weak and stumpy nails. I started using this along with taking daily Biotin supplements and the combination has proved what I thought was impossible....I can finally grow my nails! The clear polish dries quickly, makes the tips of nails nice and white and improves the overall strength and look of nails. Seriously, give this a try if you have problem nails (and consider the Biotin supplements too) � they have done wonders for my nails and I think Qtica is a GREAT product!!!
Other things that I have done which have also really helped in growing my nails: 1 - always wear gloves when washing dishes and cleaning (detergents are lethal to nails), 2 - rubbing nail oil into the nail & cuticle once a week and lightly buffing the nail (especially where it may be starting to peel at the tips) and 3 - using a high quality hand + nail cream regularly to keep nail bed and edges moisturised. Good luck!!

My hg!! This is absolutely fantastic! Bought the small bottle at Ulta for $12 just to try it out (will be buying the larger next time) and I absolutely love it. I had results within the first few days which was not the case with other brands I've tried (Nail Magic, Nail Tek II). In Dec I removed my acrylics to discover the horrendous damage that had been done. It is now May and I still have these dents in my nails from that manicure! Softness and peeling has been an issue my whole life but really became noticeable when I removed my fake nails. I decided againt OPI Nail Envy after reading the mixed reviews and instead went with this. Absolutely works. My nails and hard and strong. They don't break (for the first time I've started clipping them as opposed to them breaking before getting long) and peeling issues have dramatically decreased. I have been using this for 5 months and am not even halfway done. O btw, I gave the packaging 3 stars because the brush and the cap separated. Just for reference, I sometimes put this on first then base coat, 2 coats of polish and top coat. Sometimes I put base coat on first then this. It doesn't matter which order because it works just as well. Please give this a try if you are in need of nail TLC.

I have to agree with the other reviewers. This is an awesome product. I bit my nails for..well..all my life (and I'm now 37). I finally just quit biting them and they looked HORRID....I got this product along w/ T.I.P.S and I have gorgeous nails. You'd never know I bit them.
This is kind of pricey, but nails are like your face..you have to pay to keep them up, but it's so worth it.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this product.

What I like Best - It does not chip/peel off my nails. Amazing! Every nail product I have ever purchased peels right off. My nails feel stronger & are growing. $20. for .5 fl oz is pricey - but it works...so it's worth it to me! I would/ will purchase again.

April 2014 Issue of Linux Journal: High Performance Computing
Big Block Linux with a Four-Barrel Hemi
We often brag about how few resources Linux needs to operate: a Raspberry Pi or Beagle Board, in a Web browser (http://bellard.org/jslinux), or any number of other tiny places. Just because our beloved OS can run on a tiny scrap of hardware, however, certainly doesn't mean that's all it will do! In this issue, we talk about high-performance computing. Whether you're calculating trajectory corrections for a spacecraft millions of miles away or hashing transactions for the Bitcoin network, Linux is the perfect vehicle for all that computing power.
Reuven M. Lerner starts us out this month, this time with information on how to leverage geolocation information in your Web application. Whether you want to give your Web visitors a local weather forecast or just want to present them with location-appropriate options from your Web applications, geolocation is a powerful tool. Since the Internet is global, it's important to know where users are located. Reuven shows how to integrate geolocation awareness into your Web applications. Dave Taylor follows with the next in his series on Zombie Dice. It may feel like you're just making a cool game, but it's really just a ruse to help you learn something. (Well, it's a cool game too, but you really are learning!)
Kyle Rankin continues his series on Tails. When it comes to browsing the Web securely, you either can wear a tinfoil hat or look into something like Tails. The former won't help with security, but people at the coffee shop probably will leave you alone. Last month, Kyle explained how to install Tails, and this month, he describes using it. I took a completely different look at Linux this month. Instead of discussing security, I talk about entertainment-ivity. I recently set up my XBMC devices to share a centralized MySQL database, and I found it a little more difficult than I expected. In my column, I walk you through the process, and also discuss my mobile entertainment system: Plex. I get lots of e-mail regarding my home media setup, so this month I tell all.
Then we get into the nitty gritty of this month's issue. David Brown gives
some great processes for managing HPC clusters.
Linux containers continue to be the rage as the more efficient method for virtualization allows for far more dense computing. High-performance computing gets far more performance out of containers than out of traditional virtualized hardware. Rami Rosen discusses Linux containers and how the combination of lightweight virtualization and HPC will shape the future of cloud computing. And finally, Brian Trapp shows how to use MySQL's built in replication to help secure data integrity in your database implementations. My mantra is always "backup, backup, backup", but with the fast pace data changes in a database system, frequent backups aren't enough. With data replication, backups are still important, but the database administrator can sleep a little better between backup cycles.
This issue of Linux Journal has tons of HPC information, but if that's not your cup of penguin juice (eiw!), there's plenty of tech tips, product announcements and general Linux information to keep you entertained and educated. So whether you run Linux on your pocketwatch or need a bicycle to get from one end of your data center to the other, this issue is perfect for you. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.Watch the video overview for this issue:

lovely work

Great image!
great portrait
really amazing!!!
I really dig how the beach in the light of sundown builds a contrast (or almost an antithesis depending on one's interpretation) to the model's expression. (kudos to her, too!) But what made me favorite this is how it seems both 'lively' and calm - it reminds me of travelling and 'chilled out' summer eves spent in good company.
Awesome photography! Going straight into my fav collection

Beautiful light and I love what she is wearing

Mark your calendars for our next celebration of Headwaters flavour:
The Pan Am Taste Trail
Saturday, June 13 – Saturday, August 15, 2015.
Fresh from Headwaters!
This is Headwaters, part of the Greenbelt… our living countryside.
Here you can plant your bare feet on the earth. And when you dine the greens in your salad were picked this morning… the vegetables are from that farm over there… the berries in dessert grow wild along the fence lines.
The bounty of the harvest is evident everywhere in Headwaters! Visit our farm markets, our gourmet food shops and our world-class eateries and experience food as it was meant to be – fresh from the source and directly to your plate. Talk to our shop owners, chefs and your overnight hosts and you'll soon realize that in the Hills of Headwaters 'our living countryside' is truly a philosophy.
Join us for a variety of culinary inspired activities where you can see, touch and taste the bounty of the land first hand — fall fairs, farm tours, culinary events and so much more – all grown in Headwaters!
If your culinary cravings are more on the creative side, you'll want to take in the ever popular Cuisine-Art. A yearly event held at Alton Mill Arts Centre that celebrates arts, culture, local chefs, food producers, merchants, entertainers and more.
Taste of Headwaters Events
In 2014, visitors and residents celebrated some of the area's culinary delights during our two seasonally inspired culinary events: A Taste of Maple and Taste of the Harvest. These events replaced our ever-popular Winterfeast and Summerfeast in 2014, and instead of prix-fixe menus at participating restaurants, consumers were able to partake of a variety of maple or harvest "tastes" in restaurants, bakeries, confectionaries, or at a number of regional seasonally-themed events.
Stay tuned for our upcoming events:
Taste of the Harvest
Friday, October 9 – Sunday, November 8, 2015

'Super moon' brightens skies
Celestial body in full phase, at its nearest to Earth this year
WASHINGTON -- A "super moon" lit up Saturday's night sky in a once-a-year cosmic show, the U.S. space agency NASA said.
The moon seemed especially big and bright because it reached its closest spot to Earth at the same time it was in its full phase, NASA said.
The moon "is a 'super moon,' as much as 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than other full moons of 2012," NASA said.
The scientific term for the phenomenon is "perigee moon." The moon follows an elliptical path around Earth with one side, or perigee, about 31,000 miles closer than the other.
The moon reached perigee at 11:34 p.m. EDT. One minute later, it lined up with the Earth and the sun to become full.
The last perigee moon was on March 19, 2011, when it was about 250 miles closer than Saturday's.
A perigee full moon can bring tides that are higher than normal but only by an inch or so.
The effect can be amplified by local geography, but only by about six inches.
But no matter how far away a full moon is, it's not going to make people kill themselves or others, commit other crimes, get admitted to a psychiatric hospital, or do anything else that popular belief suggests, a psychologist said.
Studies that have tried to document such connections have found "pretty much a big mound of nothing, as far as I can tell," Scott Lilienfeld of Emory University said.

USC receiver Marqise Lee did not practice Wednesday, and interim Coach Ed Orgeron confirmed that Lee has a sprained knee but said he doesn't yet know Lee's status for next Thursday's game against Arizona.
''Marqise Lee makes some miraculous recoveries,'' Orgeron said. ''We're going to work hard to get him ready for next week.''
Lee hurt his knee in last Saturday's loss to Arizona State and was on crutches Sunday afternoon. Lee did not attend practice Wednesday and was not available for comment.
In his first practice since taking over for Lane Kiffin, who was fired early Sunday morning, Orgeron opened practice to media and gave an injury report. Kiffin had refused to discuss the status of most injured players.
Linebacker Morgan Breslin (hip strain), receivers De'Von Flournoy (sprained ankle) and Darreus Rogers (sprained ankle) did not practice. Tailback Justin Davis suffered a sprained ankle left in practice. Offensive tackle Kevin Graf also did not practice, but was not included in Orgeron's update.
The news was better for tailback Silas Redd, who missed the first five games because of a knee injury but practiced Wednesday and said he will be able to play against Arizona.
''Good,'' Orgeron said loudly with a grin. ''Let him run the ball 30 times. I hope he's ready.''

I've always been a fan of magazines (and getting mail in general), so by December of last year, a subscription to The Economist had been on my mind for a while. I was even more convinced by our fearless leader's recent recommendation to subscribe. But if that wasn't enough, I found a Groupon deal for a year's subscription shortly after Christmas, which finally tipped me over the edge and made reading the magazine my New Year's resolution.
Three months later, having experienced many successes and struggles of becoming an official reader of The Economist, I wanted to share my three takeaways so you may too embark on this tempting, yet intimidating journey.

The Washington Capitals signed high-scoring Swedish center Nicklas Backstrom to a 10-year deal worth $67 million (£43m), locking up another player expected to help the Capitals challenge for their first Stanley Cup championship.
News of the long-term deal for the 22-year-old came less than two weeks after the Capitals, the regular-season's top seed and a popular pick to win the Stanley Cup, were eliminated in the opening round of the playoffs.
Backstrom, the fourth overall pick by Washington in the 2006 draft, set career-highs with 33 goals and 68 assists and finished fourth overall in NHL scoring.
The deal is expected to give the team a scoring threat for the next decade as Backstrom's Russian team mate, Alex Ovechkin, who finished three points off the league lead in points, is under contract with the Capitals for the next 11 seasons.
Backstrom, the youngest member of the Swedish ice hockey team at the Vancouver Olympics, has never missed an NHL game over three seasons and was scheduled to become a restricted free agent this off-season.
