Play - Colorado Rockies vs. Cain.
Edges - Rockies: 6-3 last nine games in this park. Giants: Matt Cain 7-18 last 25 overall home team starts; and 2-4 last six team starts in this series, including 0-2 at home.
With Cain in wobbly current form with one win in his five team starts, along with a 7.00 ERA and a 1.59 WHIP this season, we recommend a 1* play on the Colorado Rockies. Thank you and good luck as always.
>Marc's red hot assault on the NBA hardwood (48-31 last 79 best bets) continues Thursday night with a 10* Top Key Play on the Toronto-Miami matchup. Put it right at the top of your ticket now - you'll be glad you did!

38 U.S. Code § 3105 - Duration of rehabilitation programs
prev | next
(a) In any case in which the Secretary is unable to determine whether it currently is reasonably feasible for a veteran to achieve a vocational goal, the period of extended evaluation under section 3106 (c) of this title may not exceed twelve months, except that such period may be extended for additional periods of up to six months each if the Secretary determines before granting any such extension that it is reasonably likely that, during the period of any such extension, a determination can be made whether the achievement of a vocational goal is reasonably feasible in the case of such veteran.
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) and in subsection (c), the period of a vocational rehabilitation program for a veteran under this chapter following a determination of the current reasonable feasibility of achieving a vocational goal may not exceed forty-eight months, except that the counseling and placement and postplacement services described in section 3104 (a)(2) and (5) of this title may be provided for an additional period not to exceed eighteen months in any case in which the Secretary determines the provision of such counseling and services to be necessary to accomplish the purposes of a rehabilitation program in the individual case.
(c) The Secretary may extend the period of a vocational rehabilitation program for a veteran to the extent that the Secretary determines that an extension of such period is necessary to enable such veteran to achieve a vocational goal if the Secretary also determines—
(1) that such veteran had previously been rehabilitated to the point of employability but
(A) such veteran's need for further vocational rehabilitation has arisen out of a worsening of such veteran's service-connected disability that precludes such veteran from performing the duties of the occupation for which such veteran had been so rehabilitated, or
(B) the occupation for which such veteran had been so rehabilitated is not suitable in view of such veteran's current employment handicap and capabilities; or
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the period of a program of independent living services and assistance for a veteran under this chapter (following a determination by the Secretary that such veteran's disability or disabilities are so severe that the achievement of a vocational goal currently is not reasonably feasible) may not exceed twenty-four months.
(A) The period of a program of independent living services and assistance for a veteran under this chapter may exceed twenty-four months as follows:
(i) If the Secretary determines that a longer period is necessary and likely to result in a substantial increase in the veteran's level of independence in daily living.
(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter or chapter 36 of this title, any payment of a subsistence allowance and other assistance described in paragraph (2) shall not—
(B) be counted toward the aggregate period for which section 3695 of this title limits an individual's receipt of allowance or assistance.
(2) The payment of the subsistence allowance and other assistance referred to in paragraph (1) is the payment of such an allowance or assistance for the period described in paragraph (3) to a veteran for participation in a vocational rehabilitation program under this chapter if the Secretary finds that the veteran had to suspend or discontinue participation in such vocational rehabilitation program as a result of being ordered to serve on active duty under section 688, 12301 (a), 12301 (d), 12301 (g), 12302, or 12304 of title 10.
(3) The period for which, by reason of this subsection, a subsistence allowance and other assistance is not charged against entitlement or counted toward the applicable aggregate period under section 3695 of this title shall be the period of participation in the vocational rehabilitation program for which the veteran failed to receive credit or with respect to which the veteran lost training time, as determined by the Secretary.

Episode Plot
Ash is to battle Ritchie in the next round of the Pokémon League competition. Misty is looking up some information on the computer about him. She finds that Ritchie won all of his first four rounds with just one Pokémon. Ash goes to the Pokémon Center and finds Ritchie there who was just picking up his Pokémon. Ash promises Ritchie a great battle the following day. Ash picks up his Pokémon and returns to the small house where he is staying to sleep for the night. The next day, they receive a phone call. It is Ritchie's voice, and rudely insults Misty over the phone. She hands it to Ash, and the voice tells Ash to meet him outside at a specific location and to bring Pikachu. When Ash arrives, he finds Ritchie (it is a dummy, except Ash thinks it is really Ritchie) and suddenly is trapped by Team Rocket. They throw him in their van and drive away, keeping Ash from the competition. Ash escapes using Squirtle to flood the van, and Team Rocket are up to their eyeballs in water. The back bursts open, and Ash starts to run back to be in time for the competition. Team Rocket get in his way again, bent on keeping him away from the league competition. He uses Bulbasaur and Pikachu to whip and shock them. He continues towards the league, but Team Rocket catch up on bicycles. They use Weezing to smog him out, but he hops on a bicycle and continues along. They catch up to him in their balloon and hook the bicycle. They start to float away, and so Pikachu is carried up by Pidgeotto to give them another big shock. Team Rocket is then blasted off into the forest. Pidgeotto then starts to carry Ash toward the stadium. Meanwhile, back at the stadium after already being given ten additional minutes after the battle was supposed to start, they are about to declare that Ash has forfeit the match. Just as they almost declare Ritchie the winner, Ash shows up floating toward the stadium in the Team Rocket balloon. They begin the battle, and Ash sends Squirtle against Ritchie's Butterfree named Happy. Squirtle loses, and so Pikachu leaps out to battle and defeats Happy. Ritchie calls his Charmander and it defeats Pikachu. Ash is out of reliable Pokémon, as Bulbasaur would lose for sure, and so he desperately sends out Charizard. Charizard actually battles, and defeats Charmander. Ritchie lastly sends out his Pikachu named Sparky. Charizard blows Sparky around a bit, deeming it to not be a worthy opponent and lays down for a nap and reckless. Since Charizard apologizes to Ash and temporary ignored to battle Sparky won, and Ash was defeated by Ritchie. Despite his immense disappointment, Ash looks up and congratulates Ritchie, and they are still friends in the end.
- Despite having the Earth Badge, which (in the games) makes ALL Pokémon obey, Charizard still wouldn't obey Ash.
- The "Who's that Pokémon?" in this episode is Areodactyl.
- One theory on why ash lost is that all his pokemon were tired out by team rocket. If this was the case then ash fought an unfair battle an lost, but he did come very close to winning. So if team rocket hadn't tired out ash's pokemon then maybe ash might have won. Ash even says that pikachu was tired during the battle, this helps back up the theory.
- At the end of the battle it was charizard verses sparky, ash lost because Charizard temporary ignore to battle, but if it had, then most likely ash would have won.

Registration is Open Now for Summer Classes
Submitted on April 25, 2012 at 3:13 PM
Students can speed up their college work by taking summer courses. High school graduating seniors, current college students and new students can all benefit. Summer classes start soon at Volunteer State Community College and registration is open now.
There are dozens of summer classes in many subject areas to choose from and they come in a couple of different versions. Some classes run for the entire summer from May 29 to August 8. Other classes run for the first five weeks, from May 29 to June 30. There is also a second five-week version from July 5 to August 8. Summer classes are offered online and in hybrid formats, which combine online work with traditional classroom meetings. It's all designed to increase flexibility for the summer student, allowing them to work college in with job, family and fun.
A fun twist to the English 1010 course happens this summer. Instructor Cynthia Chanin will be using the New York Times best seller, The Other Wes Moore, instead of a traditional textbook. This book recounts the story of two young men with the same name from the same neighborhood, but one ends up a Rhodes Scholar and the other in prison for life for murder. Most of the writing assignments for the course will come from the book.
While there are many summer courses that fulfill general education requirements, there are also classes that can help save a life. CPR and First Aid is being offered during the first five weeks of the summer sessions. Students can earn certification by the American Heart Association for two years.
Visit www.volstate.edu/schedule for the summer class schedules and www.volstate.edu/admissions for information on how to apply and register. New students will need to fill out an application, which can be done online. Students can also visit the Admissions Office in person at the Ramer Building on the Vol State campus at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin or call 615-230-3688.

The Power of Independent Thinking
Economic Religion vs. Environmental Religion in America
Recorded: Thursday, October 7, 2010
Part 1 |
Part 2
Economics and environmentalism are types of modern religions. So says Robert H. Nelson in his analysis of the roots of economics and environmentalism and their mutually antagonistic relations in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The present debate raging over global warming exemplifies the clash of these two public theologies.

In the 1960s, civil rights victories dealt a blow to racial discrimination, and yet 40 years later many blacks remain left behind. Has affirmative action sabotaged the gains of the civil rights movement? What is the role of personal accountability in improving the standing of minority groups?

President Obama appeared on what seemed like half my channels the other evening, pitching his prescription for health care.
The president had plenty to say about the American people. Politicians have in recent years taken up the American people in a big way, and we are as a result getting quite a lot of press coverage.The politicians' definition of the American people seems to me one of the bolder, and least plausible, conceits our elected representatives have yet conceived.
There were at last count more than 300 million of us, which is a few too many for the degree of homogeneity that politicians imply exists. I'd wager that if, say, eight members of any typical family got together for a barbecue at least one would argue that the burgers aren't even close to done and then drive away muttering about how if the rest of you are so eager to sample salmonella then go ahead and eat.
And all those people are related.
The president said during his press conference that "the American people need some relief." He talked about "what we're trying to build for the American people."
The truth, of course, is that many American people would prefer even a nasty stomachache over a government-sponsored ulcer. And they don't think much of the government's carpentry, either.
I don't doubt that the vast majority of the 47 million Americans who lack health insurance would like some. And most, I suspect, wouldn't object to the government paying some or all of their premiums.
But millions of others are pleased with what they've got now (I can think of at least 535 who are, anyway), and I imagine they felt left out while they listened to the president.
I agreed, in principle, with most of what Mr. Obama said.
There is no good reason for 15 percent of Americans to go without health insurance.
A night in the hospital shouldn't cost a middle-class American two months' salary.
Doctors shouldn't have to shell out the price of a new Mercedes for malpractice insurance every year.
But although I admire the president's courage in seeking to cure an ailment that baffled his predecessors, I don't share in his optimism that he has finally rounded government into fighting trim.
Suffice it to say that any book purporting to chronicle government profligacy would be a thick volume indeed.
A couple hours after Mr. Obama's press conference I went for a walk. The sun had slunk behind the wall of the Elkhorns but the temperature was still in the low 80s and the still air thick and stifling.
As I walked west on Washington I noticed, parked in the Geiser Grand Hotel's lot, a white SUV bearing the U.S. Forest Service logo.
There was a second Forest Service rig in the lot, and a Prius with state of Oregon license plates.
I don't know what event brought the drivers of these three taxpayer-owned vehicles to Baker City.
I do know that you can conduct many sorts of business by computer or telephone, both of which devices the government faithfully provides its employees, along with hybrid cars.
And although I think the Geiser Grand is a landmark, and a source of great pride for Baker City, I'm pretty sure that travelers can find cheaper accommodations.
This is, I admit, a minor matter — three hotel rooms compared with the federal government insinuating itself even more intimately into the healthcare industry, which constitutes one-sixth of our country's economy.
I worry, though, that hotel rooms and four-wheel drives and buying hybrids even when cars are available that cost half as much but sip gas almost as frugally represent, as it were, microscopic particles of virus which, when multiplied by their millions, result in a patient running a high fever.
Perhaps this president is the one who finally demands that the government forego the suite and the dual-zone climate control and settle for the plain, but acceptable, alternatives.
I, as a member of the American people, wish him well.

Ashley Judd and Dario Franchitti Are Over
Actress Ashley Judd and champion race car driver Dario Franchitti are ending their marriage after more than 11 years.
--A representative for the actress confirmed the news Tuesday.
--The actress attended Franchitti's races for years. She cheered from the sidelines, wearing floppy hats and cheery sun dresses.
--Shortly after the news broke, Judd tweeted that the pair will remain "family forever" despite the divorce.
--"Family forever," Franchitti tweeted her back. His tweet was later deleted, but still appeared in a log on his website.
--The pair got married in his native Scotland in 2001.
Is Beyonce Being a Diva As She Prepares for the Super Bowl?
The not-always-reliable British tabloids say BEYONCÉ is being a total DIVA as she prepares for her Super Bowl halftime performance.
--Among her huge list of demands is this one: That her daughter Blue Ivy's cedar bed be shipped from New York to the Louisiana Superdome, where it will be placed in a nursery decorated with rose-scented candles.
--That nursery must also be kept at a constant 78 degrees.
--A source says, quote, "She's by far one of the most difficult celebrities we've ever dealt with. The list is as long as my arm. She may be a superstar, but this day is about football not her."
--However, an NFL rep calls this, quote, "pure pulp fiction," adding, "Beyoncé and her team have been great to work with throughout this process."
Is Alec Baldwin Having a Baby With His 29-Year-Old Wife?
"In Touch Weekly" says that 54-year-old ALEC BALDWIN is having a baby with his 28-year-old yoga instructor-wife HILARIA THOMAS.
--A source says, quote, "They are both so excited and Alec is so in love with her. She says she is so in love with Alec and he tells all her friends that she is the best thing that has ever happened to him."
--Alec's rep wouldn't confirm the news . . . quote, "When or if Alec and Hilaria have news they want to share, they will share it. Until then, no comment."
--Alec already has a 17-year-old daughter named Ireland, with his ex-wife KIM BASINGER. This is the daughter he once called a rude, thoughtless little pig in a voicemail to her.
Barbara Walters is Out of the Hospital
Is BARBARA WALTERS the KEITH RICHARDS of daytime talk? Is there ANYTHING that can kill her? In less than two weeks, she fell and hit her head AND came down with chicken pox. And she's 83 years old.
--But ABC announced yesterday that she's out of the hospital, recovering at home and, quote, "getting stronger." There's no word when she'll return to work.

Comments On Feb 02, 2015:Installed hot cams stage one on bike. Ran good during break in after adjusting fuel with the programmer. Ran solid for about 6 hours then..... Dropped a valve and I get to put a whole new top end in my bike. Would highly suggest going with GYTR cams for Yamaha machines.

Comments On Dec 16, 2007:I have an 06 lt-r 450 80 hp! with athena 500cc bore kit 13:1 ,exhaust,efi controller,uni filter with no air box with new head.The cam is decent you will loose alot of low end gain mid and and not much top with a stock bike you wont even know you have it.I inspected the cam and the journals wear after about a few hours use tons of assembly grease set proper valve lash or they wont last! Use the money for an efi controller you get more horse or bore the heck out of it and port/polish the head! A STAGE TWO CAM WOULD BE NICE.

Comments On Oct 31, 2007:If you are installing Hot Cams they had better be a part of a whole build plan. I installed them without any other mods and didn't like them at all. Its after I completed the entire build with higher compression, pipe, opened up the airbox, DYNA CDI, KibbleWhite Valves, and a larger carb that they really performed well. Very much recommended as one part of a build plan.

Conference anti-harassment/Policy
< Conference anti-harassment
this wiki
Also see The Duty Officer wiki page
Example anti-harassment policy for conferences
This is an example anti-harassment policy suitable for most open source, computing, or technology-related conferences. It may be adopted unchanged or tweaked to suit your conference.
Why have an official anti-harassment policy for your conference? First, it is necessary (unfortunately). Harassment at conferences is incredibly common - for example, see this timeline of sexist incidents in geek communities. Second, it sets expectations for behavior at the conference. Simply having an anti-harassment policy can prevent harassment all by itself. Third, it encourages people to attend who have had bad experiences at other conferences. Finally, it gives conference staff instructions on how to handle harassment quickly, with the minimum amount of disruption or bad press for your conference.
We have collected some discussion about common concerns and questions surrounding adoption of an anti-harassment policy here:
Anti-harassment policy text
Most conferences will want several different versions of an anti-harassment policy: a short, medium, and long version of the policy for public consumption, and an internal version spelling out implementation for use by the conference organizers and staff.
Short public version
This is a very short version that refers the reader to a longer version of the policy. Suitable for footers on announcement emails, web pages, news stories, etc.
- $CONFERENCE is dedicated to a harassment-free conference experience for everyone. Our anti-harassment policy can be found at:
- [URL for full anti-harassment policy]
Medium public version
This is a statement of the organizers' principles and sets expectations for the tone and style of the conference. Suitable for the conference web site and longer announcements.
- $CONFERENCE is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone [, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion [insert any other specific concerns here]]. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference [without a refund] at the discretion of the conference organizers. Our anti-harassment policy can be found at:
- [URL for full anti-harassment policy]
Long public version
This version focuses on specific instructions to the participants, with the goal of preventing harassment in the first place through education. Suitable for the conference web site and conference program material.
- [Insert medium public version of policy here.]
- Harassment includes offensive verbal comments [related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, [your specific concern here]], sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
- [Exhibitors in the expo hall, sponsor or vendor booths, or similar activities are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, exhibitors should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualized environment.]
- If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the conference organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the conference [with no refund]. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of conference staff immediately. [Conference staff can be identified by t-shirts/special badges/head sets.]
- Conference staff will be happy to help participants contact hotel/venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference. We value your attendance.
- [Email address for organizers]
- [Phone number for conference security or organizers]
- [Phone number for hotel/venue security]
- [Local law enforcement]
- [Local sexual assault hot line]
- [Local emergency and non-emergency medical]
- [Local taxi company]
- We expect participants to follow these rules at all conference venues and conference-related social events.
Internal version for conference staff
This version is intended for internal use by the conference staff. It defines an example enforcement policy that can be tweaked to suit your conference organization style.
- Warnings
- Any member of conference staff can issue a verbal warning to a participant that their behavior violates the conference's anti-harassment policy. Warnings should be reported to [insert email address/phone number/etc. here] as soon as practical. The report should include:
- Identifying information (name/badge number) of the participant
- The time you issued the warning
- The behavior that was in violation
- The approximate time of the behavior (if different than the time of warning)
- The circumstances surrounding the incident
- Your identity
- Other people involved in the incident
- [Your guideline here]
- Presentations
- Presentations or similar events should not be stopped for one-time gaffes or minor problems, although a member of conference staff should speak to the presenter afterward. However, staff should take immediate action to politely and calmly stop any presentation or event that repeatedly or seriously violates the anti-harassment policy. For example, simply say "I'm sorry, this presentation cannot be continued at the present time" with no further explanation.
- Taking reports
- When taking a report from someone experiencing harassment you should record what they say and reassure them they are being taken seriously, but avoid making specific promises about what actions the organizers will take. Ask for any other information if the reporter has not volunteered it (such as time, place) but do not pressure them to provide it if they are reluctant. Even if the report lacks important details such as the identity of the person taking the harassing actions, it should still be recorded and passed along to the appropriate staff member(s). If the reporter desires it, arrange for an escort by conference staff or a trusted person, contact a friend, and contact local law enforcement. Do not pressure the reporter to take any action if they do not want to do it. Respect the reporter's privacy by not sharing unnecessary details with others, especially individuals who were not involved with the situation or non-staff members.
- [Repeat information to gather when making a report here]
- Expulsion
- A participant may be expelled by the decision of any of the above listed entities for whatever reasons they deem sufficient. However, here are some general guidelines for when a participant should be expelled:
- A [first/second/third/seventeenth] offense resulting in a warning from staff
- Continuing to harass after any "No" or "Stop" instruction
- A pattern of harassing behavior, with or without warnings
- A single serious offense (e.g., punching or groping someone)
- A single obviously intentional offense (e.g., taking up-skirt photos)
- [Your guideline here]
- Hotel/venue security and local authorities should be contacted when appropriate.
- [Repeat conf/hotel/venue/law enforcement/hot line contact info here]
- Public statements
- As a general rule, conference staff should not make any public statements about the behavior of individual people during or after the conference.
- In general, consult with other staff members when possible but act when necessary.

We have an even number of 6 right now, but coke wants to join us! So we need one more person (Al? Jakebert?) to send me their email address so we can have a league of 8 :) Draft is in three days, so no time to lose!
So I don't think that you can see the names of teams already in the league prior to registering, which was almost a big problem because I was seriously close to naming my team "Needs More Salt," which already existed.
So here's all the team names in our league.
Paptown TrunkBumpers
SLO Llamas
Needs More Salt
the fear boners
Pallet Town Heroes
Should we also use this to discuss the new season of The League, then? I am SO going to be watching that :)
Who's got Giants or Cowboys players? Season starts tonight!
I'm counting on Dez Bryant to take advantage of the Giants' weak secondary, but he's not going to be returning punts. Hope the projections hold true so that I can justify starting him over Colston. I'm kind of glad I'm playing him though because now I can actually see some results tonight, and I can learn more about how this shin-dig works.
Does anyone know how the waivers work in this league? I assume that I had last priority for waivers because I had the first pick in the draft, which resulted in Alec stealing DeAngelo Williams from me :mad::mad:, but does the order change over time? Like, the last person to claim someone off waivers goes to the back of the line?
Did I win yet?
I'm pretty sure all players go from waiver to FA on the same day - I think it's a few days after they're dropped, and I don't think it matters where you were in the draft line-up. I could be wrong, though; I've never hosted a league before.
Is there a disabled list or something? I'm tempted to dump my backup TE since he's pretty much worthless, fill his spot with someone more productive, and just shop around for a one-week replacement on Gronkowski's bye week. But what if Gronk gets injured and the Pats don't publicly confirm that he isn't playing until a couple days before the game? I'd have to get a new TE immediately, and either dump Gronk and risk having him get snatched from free agency, or dump another guy off my roster to make room. If you can put guys on a DL then that problem would be solved.
THis is how i feel when I look at the website:
Sarah, I recommend clicking "My Team" at the top, and then "Projected Stats", if you haven't already - tells you how your players are expected to do. You have a couple players on your bench who are projected to do better than players you have "in".
To explain what we're talking about a little bit - when you go to "My Team", at the top, you have options to add or drop players. You can also trade with other people in our league. If one your players gets hurt or doesn't do as well as expected, you might want to drop him and pick up another player. Waivers are players who have been dropped from someone's team, but it's still within a certain amount of time before he can be redrafted. So if someone drops a player that you really want, you have to wait a few days before you can pick him up.
I hope you actually were confused and I didn't just tell you a bunch of stuff you already know :P Also, I shouldn't be helping you; you're the enemy this week :mad::eek:

I may not know it... But these are the moments that Im going to remeber... This is one of the songs we sang today in Chapel. Its by Miley Cyrus and is called The Climb. It used to be on my top 10 list when it first came out. Its a fun song to dance to but just not the best. If you are in the mood to dance and have fun with your friends then this is the song for you. The song was realesed for the film Hannah Montana: The Movie. As th elead single of the film's soundtrack by Walt Disney Records. It is a styled as a country pop, and was Miley Cyrus' first solo song realsed to country radio. the instruments includes piano, gutair, and Violns.

Today at my school we had chapel and sang a few songs. My favorite was "the climb" by Miley Cyrus I think this song is very inspiering to everyone. It says life is hard, but the everything will turn out just right. "Lifes a climb, but the view is great" (Quote from the movie) This song gives me hope when I am down and I hope it means somehing to you too. The climb is a great song by Miley Cyrus. This song is from her movie Hannah Montanna the movie. It was about Hannah And Miley having trouble being a teen age girl and a famous singer.

Birth Place: Waycross, Georgia, USA
Born Burton Leon Reynolds, Jr. in Lansing, MI on Feb. 11, 1936, his early years were filled with transition. His father was drafted into the U.S. Army while Reynolds was a boy, and for a time, they shuttled between their hometown of Lansing and Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri. When his father returned from service in Europe, the family returned to Michigan, where he struggled to fit in with the local children, who were comprised of rural families and Native Americans. Reynolds himself claimed Cherokee ancestry. After his discharge from the Army in 1945, Reynolds' father moved the family to Riviera Beach, FL, where he had been hired as a general contractor for a housing development. The region ...

Public EventAmerican Physical Society invites Orlando to discover plasma
Most of the matter we are familiar with in everyday life comes in three states — solid, liquid, or gas. But much more of the matter in the universe exists in a fourth state known as plasma. Plasmas are gaseous collections of electrically charged particles such as electrons and protons. Stars are primarily composed of hot plasmas. On Earth, plasmas are formed in lightning strikes and produce light in fluorescent bulbs. They are used to inscribe patterns in computer chips and other electronics, and they are also at the heart of the most promising nuclear fusion devices that may someday lead to an abundance of cheap, clean, and safe power sources.
Seven international partners, including the U.S., are committed to the construction of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) as the next step toward fusion energy. Many new advances relevant to magnetic confinement in ITER—such as methods to suppress plasma instabilities, control losses, diagnose plasma characteristics, numerically simulate plasma behavior, and enhance heating—have been recently achieved. At the same time, impressive progress in inertially confined fusion plasmas, high-energy-density physics, space and astrophysical plasmas, basic plasma science, and industrial applications has been made.
These highlights and results of many other subjects will be addressed at the 49th Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society's Division of Plasma Physics, to be held November 12-16, 2007, in Orlando, Florida. More than 1500 attendees will present 1600 papers covering the latest advances in plasma-based research and technology.
The American Physical Society is the world's largest professional body of physicists, representing over 43,500 physicists in academia, national laboratories, and industry in the US and internationally.

FWC asks beachgoers to help document horseshoe crab spawning sites

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is asking beachgoers to help biologists locate horseshoe crab mating sites this spring.
The best time for spotting the mating horseshoe crabs will be around high tide, just before, during or after a new or full moon. The conditions around the new moon Monday night, March 11, and the full moon on March 27 will create ideal opportunities to view the spawning behavior.
Mating crabs pair up, with the smaller male on top of the larger female. Other male crabs may also be present around the couple, according to an FWC news release. Spotters are asked to note how many they see and whether the horseshoe crabs are mating. If possible, the observer should also count how many horseshoe crabs are mating adults and how many are juveniles (4 inches wide or smaller).
Biologists also will want to know the date, time, location, habitat type and environmental conditions – such as tides and moon phase – when the sighting occurs.
To report the information, go to www.MyFWC.com/Contact and click on the "Submit a Horseshoe Crab Survey" link. You can also report findings via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 866-252-9326.
The survey program began in April 2002. Through 2012, the agency has received 2,607 reports from across Florida.

Three position changes, three Hall of Famers and three names as recognizable to Cubs fans today as they were more than 100 years ago.
On September 15, 1902 they took the field together for the first time. Tinker a 21-year-old rookie shortstop, Evers a 20-year-old rookie second baseman, and Chance a 25-year-old first baseman.
The threesome turned its first double play the following game and quickly developed into one of the best infield dynamos in professional baseball for the time.
The three remained teammates through 1912, but are best remembered for a seven-year run from 1903-1909. During this time they led the Cubs to four pennants and two World Series championships.
