In the course of my work I attend many luncheons, dinners and receptions. I think of it as a never-ending perquisite of culinary delights. The great food is topped off by fascinating conversation. When I meet people in these settings, the discovery of my professional role invariably leads to stories about earlier college experiences or sometimes those of family and friends. The stories I take the most interest in these days, however, are focused around the journey of the college search. I am, of course, curious to learn more about how families approach the process, as well as impressions they have formed about various types of institutions. I suppose it would qualify as an ongoing informal qualitative research project.
As I was spying the feast at a recent reception, I was approached by a woman who recognized me from another setting where we had become acquainted. After we exchanged pleasantries she noted her daughter was beginning the college search process. I congratulated her and asked, "How is it going?" Sometimes when I ask this very open-ended question the response is rather vague or unemotional. It's the, "I'd rather not talk about it," response. In these cases, I simply offer a reassuring smile.
Others, by contrast, are eager to get my perspective on the experience as one who is an "industry insider." This mother was eager to talk. As I listened she expressed a bit of concern about the two questions her daughter is constantly asked, "What are you going to major in?" followed by "What career are you going to pursue?" My reply to her comment took her by surprise. I said, "Don't worry about these answers now. High school students almost always get them wrong."
The initial look on her face was filled with anxiety, then suddenly melted into comfort as she realized her sense of struggle with these questions really didn't matter all that much. I then noted many students wisely enter college undecided about major and career. I asked her, "Did you have it all figured out at the age of 18?" Her broad smile and light chuckle made it clear that the expectations placed on her daughter are simply unrealistic, as they were for her many years ago.
Whenever I think about the experience of students, a particular image comes to mind – Chutes and Ladders. Many will remember the children's board game from early days of play. This game finds it origins in ancient India and was known previously under the name Snakes and Ladders. Perhaps our modern adaptation is a kinder, gentler version. Wikipedia offers the following history of the game:
Snakes and Ladders originated in India as part of a family of dice board games, including pachisi (present-day Ludo and Parcheesi). It was known as moksha pAtam or vaikunthapaali or paramapada sopaanam (the ladder to salvation). The game made its way to England and was sold as "Snakes and Ladders," then the basic concept was introduced in the United States as Chutes and Ladders (an "improved new version of England's famous indoor sport" by game pioneer Milton Bradley in 1943).
Known as Moksha Patam, the game was popular in ancient India and emphasized the role of fate or karma. A Jain version, Gyanbazi, dates to the 16th century. The game was called Leela and reflected the Hinduism consciousness surrounding everyday life. The underlying ideals of the game inspired a version introduced in Victorian England in 1892.
Moksha Patam was associated with traditional Hindu philosophy contrasting karma and kama, or destiny and desire. It emphasized destiny, as opposed to games such as pachisi, which focused on life as a mixture of skill (free will) and luck. The game has also been interpreted and used as a tool for teaching the effects of good deeds versus bad. The ladders represented virtues such as generosity, faith, and humility, while the snakes represented vices such as lust, anger, murder, and theft. The morality lesson of the game was that a person can attain salvation (Moksha) through doing good, whereas by doing evil one will inherit rebirth to lower forms of life. The number of ladders was less than the number of snakes as a reminder that a path of good is much more difficult to tread than a path of sins.
Setting aside matters of world view, philosophy and religion, the simple and practical lessons of Chutes and Ladders remind us that things don't always go as planned and in the end it turns out better than we expected. The college version of the game (at least the one I imagine) follows the travails of students through self-discovery, achievement, failure and resilience.
Parents of prospective college students have a version in mind that focuses on the ladders. This is completely understandable since we all aspire to see our sons and daughters accomplish great things on the way to a rewarding life. Those of us who serve as faculty and administrators in colleges, however, have the task of reminding us all that just like the game there are a few more chutes on the board than ladders.
When we gather the stories of our lives together with others we know from close friends and family, we know that the best classes we had were not necessarily the ones in which we received the highest grades, but the ones that stretched us the most. The unexpected career-ending injury leads to a new focus and a new set of opportunities. The relationships we were once certain would shape much of our lives ebb and flow with time and are sometimes lost or redefined. Our view of the world changes, as does our understanding the roles we will play in it.
Later during that reception I had an extended conversation with an accomplished and very successful business leader. He noted that when he started college he didn't have it all figured out. His first attempt to pursue an undergraduate degree ended prematurely with a withdrawal and a long hiatus from higher education. As he pursued his career he later found the timing was right to extend his journey of learning and he finished his degree. It did not happen with the timing he originally anticipated. It did not happen in the place he originally anticipated. In his late days of adolescence and early days of adulthood he found more chutes than ladders. Yet eventually the ladders did appear, and at the right time he was ready to climb.

President Barack Obama showed true grit.
Obama stood tall behind the podium at the White House Wednesday and defended U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice like a little sister who was being picked on by schoolyard bullies.
The bullies, however, are Republicans.
"If Senator McCain and Senator Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me," Obama said with conviction. "And I'm happy to have that discussion with them. But for them to go after the U.N. ambassador, who had nothing to do with Benghazi and was simply making a presentation based on intelligence that she had received and to besmirch her reputation, is outrageous."
And then, with a firm look from the lectern, the president bristled as he issued a stern warning.
"When they go after the U.N. ambassador, apparently because they think she's an easy target," Obama added, "then they've got a problem with me."
It was Obama's first news conference since he was re-elected to the White House last week and the president appeared confident and ready to take on a fight with Republicans if necessary.
"She has done exemplary work," Obama said, in his defense of Rice, the first African American woman to be appointed as U.N. Ambassador. "And should I choose — if I think that she would be the best person to serve America in the capacity — the State Department, then I will nominate her. That's not a determination that I've made yet."
Obama defended Rice against accusations by Senator John McCain, (R-Arizona) and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) who have accused Rice of misrepresenting the facts in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, when terrorists killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
The president is considering elevating Rice to Secretary of State, replacing Hillary Clinton who is leaving her post at the end of the year. But Republicans have vowed to block Rice's appointment, who would need confirmation from Congress to take the job.

Faculty is slowed by computer performance
By Sergio Candido
Heads nodded in approval at a North Campus town hall meeting this past February when Robert Barton mentioned the issue of computer efficiency in the classroom.
Barton, academic lab manager for the business resource center at the computer courtyard, said he constantly has problems with computers on campus.
"Five minutes and you are annoyed, 10 minutes and you are frustrated, 15 minutes and you are fed up and disgusted," Barton said about the time it takes for computers on campus to boot up.
He is not alone in his complaint. Several faculty members say outdated computers in the classroom are hindering their ability to present material, infringing on their class time.
"[There is] no faculty member who uses [a] computer on a daily basis [that] hasn't had a problem with [them],"said Sarah Garman, an associate professor who has been working for 10 years at Miami Dade College's Virtual College.
At the beginning of this semester, Garman said she had to call media services three times to get a computer to work during one of her classes.
History professor Theodore Syder said he relies heavily on PowerPoint presentations when he teaches. He has been forced to use his notes on several occasions due to unresponsive equipment. At times, he's had to wait 15 minutes for a computer to boot up.
"We want to do as much as possible in the 50 minutes that we have," Syder said. "Every minute is significant."
Others say they feel embarrassed in front of their students.
"I'm always afraid that it's going to appear to the students that I'm the one who's malfunctioning," said English professor Lisa Shaw. "It's not me, it's the technology."
Faculty members who proclaim themselves "technologically savvy" quickly point to viruses, bandwidth, the server and individual storage capacity as possible reasons for the computers' inefficiency.
But according to Carmen Bucher, chief communications and information officer—who oversees both network services and media services—the reason is much simpler: the computers are old.
The North Campus currently has about 4,200 computers and 224 multimedia classrooms.
Most computers on campus range between the Dell OptiPlex GX240 model, manufactured in 2002, and the Dell OptiPlex GX280, manufactured in 2004. Some of them have 512 MB of RAM, which is not enough to run many of today's memory-hungry programs.
Another factor to be taken into consideration, Bucher said, is that the school runs an anti-virus that has to check every computer; those computers being checked take longer to load.
Although some teachers say they've had their computers for up to five years, Bucher said "refreshments" take place every "two or three years," at which point, most computers are changed for new ones.
Meanwhile, network services continues to upgrade and maintain the computers on campus, installing more memory and checking them every six weeks because a new refreshment is not expected any time soon, due to budget cuts.
"We are continually keeping an eye and trying to address faculty's needs, we are continuing to keep that in mind," Bucher said. "We know that in the end it is the students that are the most important and we need to make sure the faculty has the resources available to them to be able to teach in the classrooms."
This is not the first time teachers have complained about computer performance.
Last November, Isis Clemente, a professor of ESL, prep reading and business, said she sent a list with all the technological problems that her department was having to Bucher.
The list included malfunctioning computers, projectors, DVD players, and even clocks.
According to Clemente, Bucher assured her that the problems would be addressed.
"Honestly, there should be another list made for this semester because [the problems] have increased instead of decreased, and we are waiting," Clemente said.
Similar problems abound at the Wolfson Campus.
"Just about every other class, we have to switch classrooms because something malfunctions," said theater major Leon Glover, 20.
One North Campus English professor has found a way to avoid this problem—Tiina Lombard doesn't use the computer in the classroom. She even makes her students write research papers by hand.
"It's so easy to cheat with the computers," Lombard said.
Even though Barton has expressed discontent, he believes the College should not be blamed for the equipment issues because it doesn't have the funds to keep up with the technological advances.
"Unless you have a big budget of $1 million every year, you are never going to have the whole system synchronized," Barton said. "It's just a fact of life that these things get useless very quickly."

School Rules and the Law of Love
Herron, Fred, Momentum
Sometimes a rule that should encourage growth becomes a yoke that breaks the backs of students and leaves teachers or administrators hamstrung
One of the most neuralgic issues constantly confronting teachers is the application of school rules. Administrators, deans of discipline and faculty rule-book committees all struggle to create clear and consistent rules and regulations that are responsive to the needs of the institution and those of the students as well. Keen eyes review rules and policies to be sure that they meet the requirements of the law and the Gospel. Then, once the rules appear to be crystal clear, one faculty member ignores a blatant violation of the rule and another enforces it to the nth degree.
The problem of consistency in the application of the rules plagues everyone. Teachers complain about administrators who do not enforce their application of the rule. Administrators despair of faculty who ignore some rules and hyper-enforce others. Guidance counselors complain about the inability of faculty and administrators to see students as individuals. Everyone cries for consistency.
What do we mean by consistency? Surely we don't mean the consistency of "three strikes and you're out" laws that have managed to put some criminals away for life for crimes as minimal as shoplifting. Yet this is precisely what some schools have in mind. They long for the same application of the same rules in every circumstance, regardless of the multiple variables which each unique experience involves. If it were possible to find two circumstances that were exactly alike, including both the infraction and the observer, such a plan might be feasible. But the variables are so great that the likelihood of finding such a circumstance is remarkably small; smaller certainly than a first glance might suggest.
Better to look for the consistency of a baseball umpire. We look to the umpire not for perfect judgment but for fairness and impartiality. The consistency of the umpire does not rest on the perfect application of the rule but on that particular umpire's consistent application of the rule. Ballplayers know that some umpires have high or low strike zones. Others give more play to the inside or outside parts of the plate. But the best compliment a player can give an umpire is the acknowledgment that the umpire is consistent within his or her own strike zone. Notice, however, that strike zones do vary, sometimes significantly, from umpire to umpire.
The broad strike zone of St. Augustine can begin to look appealing. Augustine can comfortably and perhaps rightly reduce the moral law to "love God and do what you want." This is perhaps a bit too eschatological for a school community. If we could depend upon the single-hearted dedication of faculty and students to this ideal we would need to go no further. Indeed, if we could depend upon their adherence to this there might be no need for school or rules at all!
Jean Hills (1982) points to a notion, reminiscent of the umpire metaphor, which might shed some better light on the question. Hills points to a kind of "pattern rationality" by which administrators respond to "a conception of a pattern development on a number of mutually limiting dimensions with respective gains in a given area having implications for other areas" (P. 7).
Put another way, those who create and interpret rules in schools "become suiters, skilled at riding the wave of the pattern as it unfolds. They respond to value patterns when discrete goals are in conflict with each other" (Sergiovanni, 1995, p. 44). We have moved from the world of technology to the world of artistry. The ability to create and maintain clear, coherent consistent patterns of regulation is critical for the life of schools. The challenge to making this happen is to act in reasonable, successful, predictable ways based upon a set of generally accepted patterns of thought.
From Ambiguity to Transformation
Philosopher Kenneth Burke (1969) has remarked that ". …

Bella. No more ordinary soap.
Like the Edward fragrance, this one is based off Stephenie's description. It does have red glitter on the top, so not for everyone. And please, don't use it around your eyes; it won't make them look like hers, but it may make them red.
Alice's fragrance is really lovely, and the bar itself looks like a piece of cut granite with a line of silver mica running through it and a dusting of silver mica on top for just enough SPARKLE.
Buy it from my product catalog (link at right) and at Sewn to the Sky (827 Chestnut St. Chattanooga, TN)!
Peach State of Mind.
This one has a really rich lather and a lovely (natural) color. Take a little summer with you.
*My new batch has a peach swirl that's really lovely.
Rolling Stone
This fragrance-free bar has a natural hint of scent derived from pureed lavender and spinach, which also give it a distinctive color. Its base is mostly olive oil, so it's extra gentle and conditioning for your skin. Great for any skin type, even dry skin!
Currently out of stock. Comment if you'd like me to make more!
Bay Rummmm….
My husband loves this fragrance. I ordered it and made this soap for him, but it's a classic fragrance a lot of men (and women?) will enjoy using. The bold, sweet and spicy fragrance is inspired by a cologne of the West Indies originally used by sailors. (Arrr!) You gotta try it.

PHOTOS: See how the world's largest dump has been transformed into a stunning public park
Posted By Leonel Ponce On January 7, 2015 @ 9:38 am In carousel showcase,Gallery,Green Space,Staten Island | No Comments
According to the Master Plan, 45 percent of future park area consists of garbage/landfill mounds. The North and South mounds are currently capped to prevent leaking of gases and toxic leachate from decomposing garbage [5]. Capping of the East should be finished by the end of the year, when the process will begin at the Western mound. Our tour started on the South Mound, which overlooks nearby neighborhoods, all five bridges connecting to Staten Island, and the skylines of Manhattan, Jersey City, and Coney Island in the distance.
When complete, the South Park will spread over 425 acres with a maximum elevation of 140 feet, and be home to active recreation areas such as soccer fields, low impact mountain biking routes, and an equestrian course, in addition to the reinstatement of local habitats [6]. For now, vegetation composed of upland grass fields grows along the slopes of the hill, showing healthy regrowth of native species.
Our next stop, North Mound, provides a panoramic view of the New York City skyline, framed by a foreground of grassy knolls, meandering creeks and wetlands, and expansive skies. The second mound to be capped, this location has been home to some experiments to determine the viability of renewable energy sources on site. An anemometer recently compiled wind data from atop the hill, determining ideal wind conditions to harness wind power. However, soil conditions do not permit the installation of large turbines, so designers and advocates are exploring other options [7].
North Mound will host less active recreational activities than its Southern counterpart, with programs for fishing, bird-watching, hiking [8], and other outdoor activities in the works. The 233 acre section will top out at 150 feet of elevation, explaining the expansive views experienced on tour. With such and emphasis on biodiversity and wildlife activities, it is no coincidence that we encountered hints of animal life on and around this hill. Prior to our ascent, a flock of geese and an osprey nest were spotted, and butterflies and dragonflies fluttered at the mound's peak; there are even reports of recent bald eagle sightings!
Capping is currently underway at the East Mound, where soil is being compacted atop an impermeable plastic membrane. This gives visitors a peek at the process, which is designed to prevent leakage of toxic gases and leachate, a sludge byproduct of decomposing trash and water, into the new environment.
Atop compressed garbage of an indeterminate depth, a soil barrier layer and gas vent (gravel) layer are laid out. These layers allow for the gradual transmission of gas to a vacuum system of gas wells, composed of perforated intake pipes, valves, and transmission lines. Methane gas is extracted from other vapors created by the decomposing trash at on-site purification facilities, and sold by the local utility to power and heat over 20,000 Staten Island home [9]s. When repairs must be made to the system, gas is routed to a flare station, and burned in a controlled manner. In the future, minimal amounts of gas will not be useful, so a system of goose neck pipes will passively release the gas to prevent dangerous buildup underground.
Above the impermeable membrane, a drainage layer directs stormwater to reduce runoff [10] and prevents breaks in the plastic. On top of that, a barrier protection material 2 feet in thickness provides additional protection for the membrane, and atop that minimum of 6 inches of planting soil, used to shape the mounds and provide an organic base for vegetation. A natural plastic clay layer, originally seen as a benefit for landfill use, prevents leachate leaks into groundwater, and walls of manufactured impermeable material complete the seal. Because of high toxicity of present materials, Sanitation will continue to monitor each mound for 30 years after each cap, and then reexamine risk factors.
Freshkills Park designers and organizers plan on utilizing every bit of infrastructure left to them by the Department of Sanitation, including buildings, treatment facilities, and even landfill vehicles. Massive excavators present one of the most innovative uses of these obsolete machines. One of these imposing contraptions will be positioned by a highway cutting through the site, supporting a billboard advertising the opening of the park. Others may be positioned as urban furniture along a promenade. Landfill barges used to transport trash into Staten Island will be transformed into floating gardens [11] docked at the main creek in the Confluence zone.
The reconstruction of nature in a place so ravaged by the byproducts of modern society takes decades of effort and numerous contamination risks [12]. Freshkills Park is and will be an inspiring testament to man's power to remediate his effects on the environment. But unless we begin to monitor our consumption, specifically disposable goods and packaging, there will be the need for more Freshkills, and more reconstructed, instead of preserved, environments.

The yellow lights of Ackerman Gym again are illuminating the training ground for Eastern Oregons indoor track and field teams.
The Mountaineers start the track season today and Saturday with competitions in Cheney, Wash.
The leading contender to qualify for the NAIA and NCAA Division III national meets is senior 20-pound weight thrower Leah Merrell, who is battling a sprained ankle and foot injuries.
Thats nothing new for Merrell, who has had a foot operation in the past year and has competed injured in the past.
I dont know if shed know how to compete if she wasnt banged up, Eastern Oregon coach John Spatz said.
Merrell was second in the hammer throw at both the 2000 and 2001 NAIA indoor national meets. At the Division III meets, she was fourth in 2000 and sixth in 2001. Shes a nine-time All-American in both indoor and outdoor track and field.
She could do a two-step (throw) and qualify, Spatz said.
The NAIA qualifying mark is 47 feet; Merrells throw at the NCAA Division III meet last year was 54-3.
The rest of the teams are a mixture of new athletes and veterans. Among the veterans are multievent competitors Matt Young and Brian Hartley, who compete in the indoor pentathlon today. Pole vaulter Paul Lapke will also do the pentathlon.
Newcomers include a few from Northeast Oregon. Shawn Trimble, a former state champion pole vaulter at Elgin High School, is back to competition after taking a year off; his best mark is 15 feet, 6 inches, set in 2000 at Clackamas Community College.
Tyson Parks, formerly Railey, was a standout sprinter for Enterprise High School and should bolster Easterns sprinting and relay corps.
How theyll do remains to be seen, especially on the 55-meter tracks used for indoor meets.
We kind of need to go to a meet to see where were at, Spatz said.

This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Headed to Notre Dame. Just average to me. Then went to Catacombs. Waited for two hours!! It was a 2km walk underground. Half of that walk was seeing people's dead bones. It's was spooky at first but then it was ok. I'll figure the story if the bones later. Next stop...the Eiffel Tower!!!...the only thing that keeps Paris afloat in my opinion.... This time I only waited for 3hours!! I messed up the soul of my left foot because of standing that day for 5 hours of waiting. It was so cold and windy and I really needed to pee. But I had to hold it so I didn't loose my place on line. Got to the top but went back down so quickly since I couldn't hold it any longer. I was even thinking of going from the top of the tower... It definitely worth going up there tho. Such a beautiful sight. Best part...I met Julia Marques from Brazil. So I ended the stressed night a beautiful stranger waiting for the tower to light up. Ahhh!! <3
Later I went down the main shopping strip

Day 7-
Today is my last day in Paris. I wish I had more time, but I am also ready to leave the city. My first stop for the day was the Decorative Art Museum. Here, I saw a collection of glass and porcelain works from a variety of eras, beginning with Roman and ending with Art Deco. There was also an exhibit of toys throughout the centuries, …

I started my morning by walking directly to Notre Dame. As I

Nominations Sought for 2012
Outstanding Young Lawyer of the Year Award
Deadline: October 15, 2012
The YLD welcomes nominations for the 2012 Gary McPherson Outstanding Young Lawyer of the Year Award. Each year, the YLD recognizes a Colorado lawyer for his or her outstanding contributions to the legal profession and the community. Nomination forms are available on the YLD website at www.cobar.org/yld. Deadline for nominations is October 15.
The award's namesake, Gary McPherson, was a Colorado state representative and an active CBA and YLD member who was killed in a plane crash at age 37. A memorial published by the Colorado House of Representatives stated:
Representative McPherson loved politics and serving this state. . . . He will be remembered as one of the General Assembly's most highly regarded and popular members. . . . [He] was an honorable, hardworking public servant who was respected by both Republicans and Democrats.
Gary McPherson was named Outstanding Young Lawyer of the Year in 1993. After his death in 2000, the award was renamed in his honor.
Nominees should be CBA members in good standing who are 37 years or younger or who have been practicing law fewer than three years. Nominees should have an outstanding record of professional success and community service achievements, have a strong commitment to civic participation, and be an inspiration to others within and outside the legal profession.
Practical Aspects of Practice for Young Lawyers
and Hot Topics in Law
November 16, 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
University of Denver Sturm College of Law
Every year, the CBA YLD hosts a "Practical Aspects of Practice" CLE program geared toward the specific needs and interests of YLD members. This year's program will discuss the following topics: client communication; improving legal writing and getting published; preserving appellate issues that arise before, during, and after trial; appellate basics; mistakes young lawyers make; tips from a clerks panel on "good" and "bad" courtroom practices; and avoiding malpractice in litigation and transactional work. Content-specific presentations on immigration law and campaign finance also will be featured, and there will be special presentations on the Colorado Lawyers Assistant Program (COLAP) profiles in courage.
Law students and lawyers of all experience levels are welcome to attend. Cost, which includes materials and lunch, is $15 for law students, $30 for CBA members, and $45 for nonmembers. CLE credits—6 general and 2 ethics—are being requested.
This day is ripe for networking. To register, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call (303) 860-1115, ext. 727.

Meeting Date: October 11, 2010
From: Mike Thornton, Purchasing Manager
Subject: Purchase request 42896 to Osmose Utilities Services, Inc. for wood pole inspection and treatment
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of purchase request 42896 to Osmose Utilities Services, Inc. for wood pole inspection and treatment for a total amount of $75,000.00.
The Electric Department conducts wood pole inspections on an 8-year cycle based on Florida Statute 366.04(5). The Florida Public Service Commission requests utilities to report annually on the results of wood pole inspections to assure the development of adequate and reliable Electric Grids. Inspections identify dangerous poles that may be rotten due to decay or poles that do not meet the minimum strength requirements. Any poles found to have defects must be repaired or replaced.
As part of their proposed solution for the City of Leesburg, Osmose will provide hosting of all pole inspection data collected for the duration of the project via Osmose Online Data.
There is a current agreement between the City of Leesburg and Osmose Utilities Services, Inc. which is in effect until November 10, 2012. This agreement was approved by the City Commission on July 13, 2009 under Resolution 8477. Annual expenditure approval is required by the Commission.
Following this year, the Electric Department anticipates that no further inspections will be required for 3 years. After the 3 years the 8-year cycle will start over.
1. Approve purchase request 42896 to Osmose Utilities Services, Inc.; or,
2. Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate
Fiscal Impact:
The $75,000.00 expenditure has been budgeted and is available in the current fiscal year in the account listed.

Though he's been gone from the Dodgers for some months and has even been traded again - this time to the Pirates - Jerry Sands is still a guy I enjoy collecting. I like his skill set and feel the Dodgers never gave him enough of a chance. That adds up to a tertiary collection and I was recently able to add my first Jerry 1/1.
This sweet 2010 Bowman Sterling RC Magenta Printing Plate set me back a whopping ten bucks some time back. Love the rounded corners. I still keep an eye out for Sands' stuff that catches my eye, and if they ever come out with a patch for Jerry, I can finish off a Pentafecta of the former Blue Crew member.
Interestingly - and I didn't realize this until typing the first sentence of this post - I now collect TWO Pirates, as Russ Martin signed with Pittsburgh this offseason.

Toledo sets new temperature record for March 13
Toledo has set a new new low temperature record for the day, with temperatures dropping to negative 4 degrees today, according to the National Weather Service in Cleveland.
The reading was taken at 7:30 a.m. at Toledo Express Airport. The previous record of 4 degrees was set in 1948.

"To do that for a solid year of my life, that's the hardest thing I've had to do — to look small children in the eye at a convention and lie to them," says Slott. "One of them with an honest-to-God Little League uniform and a quivering lip. Inside, part of me was dying."He did, however, cave under the pressure when he met actor Andrew Garfield on the set of "Amazing Spider-Man 2." After the actor who plays Parker on the big screen expressed his shock over the death of the beloved character, Slott admits he dropped some secretive hints."(Parker's coming back) just in time, fancy that, for a major Spider-Man motion picture," quipped Slott. "It seems uncanny. It was very nice for Sony to schedule the movie around the story."

Child Style: You Won't Shoot An Eye Out
At my home we enjoy friendly and safe Nerf battles. I resisted for quite a while. At first Nerf bullets could only be shot at the window, but now my husband and I pick them up and we have fun with our son. We have rules, the most important of which is to protect ourselves and each other. That is when I discovered that my kitchen onion goggles do great double duty as protective eye gear.
Clockwise from center:
1: Hockey Jersey at Appaman
2: Nerf N-Strike at Amazon
3: Brown boots at Palladium
4: Boys' Corduroy Pants at Lands' End
5: Belt at Crewcuts

The Conch Shell House
Built from more than 4000 conch shells, the Conch Shell House is one of Grand Cayman's most unique landmarks. The house with its unique walls constructed of bricked conch shells dates back to 1935. It was once a private residence and later served as a bomb depot for the U.S. Navy during WWII. The house was refurbished in 1973 and the conch shells were cleaned and covered with transparent lacquer to preserve their wonderful pinkish pigment.
Located across the street from the Caribbean Electric Company, its construction is interesting and worth seeing just once. Many day tours around Grand Cayman pull over for a quick look and photo op of this unique architectural draw.


text: The future of healthcare Science 12 January 11 by Charlie Burton Flickr CC: Rennett Stowe This week, Wired's Charlie Burton is in San Francisco at Future Health Mission 2011, meeting innovative companies shaping the future of health technology. He'll write a blog about the trip here at Wired.co.uk If you were admitted to hospital, what would be the odds of it losing track of which ward you're in? Not high, you'd hope. But according to Roger Killen, founder of health tech company The Learning Clinic, around 30 percent of patients are "lost" -- and not getting treatment fast enough if something goes wrong. The good news is that help is on the way. Killen is rolling out a mobile app in certain UK hospitals that (simply put) will associate doctors with patients electronically, display a patient's vitals remotely, and sound an alert if something is wrong. Its adoption, he says, would save 200 lives a year. Killen represents one of the 20 companies selected by the UK's Technology Strategy Board to join the Future Health Mission in San Francisco. The trip aims to support a clutch of fast-growing health tech businesses in the UK by introducing them to VCs, to experts and to each other. The range of innovation is broad, from e-health and informatics, to personalised medicine and diagnostics. Some are producing GPS-enabled devices to locate vulnerable people if they are lost; others have made personal trackers that monitor your body for signs of heightened fertility ("I have a passion for getting women pregnant," quipped Shamus Husheer of DuoFertility at Saturday night's reception); and still others are capitalising on hot trends in smartphones and social networking to improve health delivery. Wired is here to meet these entrepreneurs, listen to the experts, and attempt to identify the future of health technology. And yesterday morning's brunch was a great place to start. Hosted in Noe Valley, in central San Francisco, at the private house of Zack Lynch, author of The Neuro Revolution, it was alive with tantalising conversations between Mission delegates, VCs, and representatives from US health companies. In the front room, we caught up with Matthew Durdy, who runs the UK-based company, Aqix. It produces a "synthetic human serum" to keep tissues safe inside and outside the body by replicating the conditions of the normal human environment. So if you're transporting an organ over a long distance, he says, it can retain normal functions after transplant. And in procedures where patients are given a great deal of IV fluids, such as heart bypasses, his product lowers the risk of kidney damage from factors such as excessive saline. It's a problem that has increased significantly over the last 16 years, say experts. Luckily, Durdy is looking to expand Stateside. Drop by here for more posts over the course of the week.

Normally, Sidestream's drink tube is coiled up inside the pack, while its bite valve is positioned within easy reach at the user's waist. Runners can hydrate in stride by simply drawing the bite valve up to their mouth and letting go when done. Once released, the drink tube automatically recoils back into the pack. This arrangement allows runners to drink with minimal effort while keeping their eyes on the trail ahead.
The next generation Sidestream includes a number of features to help runners hydrate easily and comfortably. The lightweight, streamlined waist pack sits in the small of your back to provide a comfortable, no-bounce fit. Sidestream's collapsible bladder features a top fill port, allowing you to fill the bladder without removing it from the pack. Unlike bottles, there is very little sloshing as you run. Sidestream's high flow bite valve gives you instant fluid flow without the need to open a spout. Both bladder and drink tube are insulated within the pack helping to keep your fluid cool.
New features include a 1.3 Liter (45 ounces) no-taste, anti-microbial bladder, anti-microbial tubing, an insulating drink tube grip, a second zippered accessory pocket, and a quick-access gel/energy bar holster. The new, larger bladder offers significantly more fluid capacity than a bottle, in a configuration that keeps the weight off the shoulders and close to your body's center of gravity. Sidestream's innovative quick access holster securely holds gel-packs or energy bars within fingertip reach at the front of the pack.
"With Sidestream there is no dangling drink tube or fumbling with bottles--it's designed to fully integrate with a runner's motion and the task at hand," says Matt Hoskins, head of design and development at Mazama Designs. "Sidestream has largely met our goal of creating a hydration pack that delivers fluid without sacrificing a runner's speed, balance, or focus."
Based in trail-happy Bend, Oregon, Mazama Designs has been involved in developing sports hydration products for over 15 years. Originally, a medical device design consulting firm, the company drew on this background to develop innovative bite valves, pump systems, and other hydration-related products for the endurance sports market.
"Mazama Design's mission is to enhance athletes' comfort and performance" according Hoskins. "Whether it's a feature that gets you out the door quicker or keeps your fluid cooler, our products are designed to make your outings more enjoyable."
Sidestream is available online at www.mazamdesigns.com. Sidestream retails for $44.99 plus shipping and handling and is covered by a lifetime warranty.

Hey everyone, came across this bike yesterday and I'm thinking about getting it if it's an actual Giant. Could be fun, just for the sake of it.
It's a Giant 'Grand Prix'. The head badge says Giant but it's obviously not the Giant logo that we all know. I've searched the net and have turned up absolutely nothing. Any idea as to what it is?

Watkins' son, Al Parker, wondered if his mother's life might have been saved if the trooper had noticed her in the car.
"I'm thinking she could still have been alive," Parker said Tuesday. "How do you not look in the car? When you pulled the car out, how do you not see a body in the car?"
Williams, a 9-year veteran of the Highway Patrol, has been placed on paid administrative duty pending the outcome of an internal review that will be conducted with help from the State Bureau Investigation. The patrol refused to release any further information about the incident.
"We will release accurate information to the public as soon as available and appropriate," Public Safety Commissioner Frank Perry said in a brief written statement. "At this early stage, our main concern is to conduct a thorough and professional investigation so we can determine exactly what happened."
A man who answered the phone at Dustin's Towing and Recovery in Willow Springs said the highway patrol asked him not to talk about the incident.

Report: Teacher pensions need $4.5 billion more each yearBy: JUDY LIN, Associated Press
SACRAMENTO (AP) — A new report says California needs to pay an additional $4.5 billion a year to shore up its financially shaky teacher retirement fund.
When combined with the current $1.4 billion contribution, the state would pay more for the pensions of retired K-12 teachers and community college instructors than it does for the entire University of California and California State University systems combined.
That's the assessment of a report released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office.
The analyst declared that the California State Teachers' Retirement System "may be the state's most difficult fiscal challenge." The report was presented to lawmakers Wednesday during a hearing on the pension fund's $73 billion unfunded liability.
It found that the pension fund would run out of money by 2044 without corrective action.

I used to think source citations were optional. What an idiot.
One of my former theories about how to do things was this. I decided that anyone put into my database without a 'proper' source – birth, death or marriage certificate, military record, census record, etc, should have no source at all. Surely not a 'descendants of' chart from some other collector who probably got it from some other collector. I still like that idea because it keeps me from getting complacent with my research.
Of course, the downside was that I had no idea where to go back to to see how the other person was doing with their research. Or what to tell someone else who might ask. So it was a dumb idea really. After I tossed it I had to go back and find everyone again.
And then I found I hadn't been consistent with my non-sources approach. A lot of the problem was nothing but laziness and hurried-ness. My closer relatives who I know so well I didn't think they needed sources. Parents of spouses of relatives that got lost in the rush.
I haven't had very far to go to find most of them. Most everything's already in documents on my computer. This is where Copernic Desktop Search came in handy. First I made a list of people with no sources as described at Legacy Search. Then I started through the list one by one. Typed a name into the Copernic search box and up came a list of files containing what I wanted.
There's the odd thing I haven't been able to find that way. But I also went through my entire source list and found repository addresses for most of them. In most cases I could take a guess where the person's name came from, click on the URL and be back where I got it from within seconds.
There's something to do in a spare weekend– find repository addresses for all of your sources.
Whichever way you do this, there's an upside. In the grand scheme of things, there's a limited number of people looking for the same people you are so you're likely to come across them again.

any breastmilk you can manage to pump is still better than none, but it takes a lot of effort to pump while working and you may choose to supplement with formula for your own sanity. your baby will not remember how you fed her, she will not resent you for choices you didn't have much control over, she will only care whether or not she was loved. 4 months exclusively pumping is still an achievement and you should be proud.posted 03/24/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

Obama to renew, strengthen ties in Australia
Tuesday, November 15, 2011
HONOLULU (AP) — Simply by showing up, President Barack Obama is making good on a promise — twice deferred — to visit Australia. It also will be an occasion to renew bonds with an exceptionally close U.S. ally and strengthen the two nations' defense posture in the Pacific region.
Obama set out Tuesday from Hawaii bound for the Australian capital of Canberra. Crossing the international dateline on Air Force One, he was to arrive midafternoon local time Wednesday for a day and a half visit.
For Obama and Australia, the third time's the charm. He canceled two earlier visits, once to stay in Washington to lobby for passage of his health care bill, and again in the wake of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The president is expected to announce that the U.S. is expanding its military presence in Australia, positioning U.S. equipment there, increasing access to bases, and conducting more joint exercises and training.
The moves would counter an increasingly aggressive China, which claims dominion over vast areas of the Pacific that the U.S. considers international waters, and has alarmed smaller Asian neighbors by reigniting old territorial disputes, including confrontations over the South China Sea. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said that the goal is to signal that the U.S. and Australia will stick together in face of any threats.
Deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes, speaking with reporters on the flight to Australia, said that serving as a counterweight to China's growing influence was just one factor in the ramped-up U.S. military presence in Australia.
Others included being able to respond more quickly to natural disasters in the region, such as the devastating earthquake and tsunami earlier this year in Japan, and fighting terrorism and piracy on the high seas to help keep sea lanes of commerce open.

October 28, 2013
The Affordable Care Act will broaden health care coverage for many of the 1.1 million Americans infected with HIV, especially those who live in the 25 states and the District of Columbia that have opted to expand Medicaid. In those states, the larger Medicaid programs will cover about 60 percent of the mostly uninsured patients currently receiving help from federal-state HIV programs. As a result, state officials who run so-called Ryan White programs that provide health care and other services for HIV-infected residents are preparing for a major shift in the type of benefits they offer and possibly the level of future investment (Vestal, Stateline, 10/28).

Today marks 100 days to the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games and athletes, school children, politicians and every-day Kiwis are marking the milestone.
Singer/songwriter Sam RB was announced this morning as the winner of the Olympic songwriting competition with her song Stand Tall. Produced by Split Enz musician Eddie Raynor, the song was written to inspire athletes at the Olympic Games and make New Zealand proud. Often found busking on Queen Street, Sam will now head to London to meet our athletes and perform at an official function ahead of the Olympic games.
In Wellington, Phil Goff takes on Sarah Ulmer and members of the Wellington Phoenix in a celebrity race up Thorndon's Hill Street. A street party then gets underway featuring international Olympic-themed food stalls staffed by Wellington school children. The party is open to the public and also includes the Samsung Mobile Experience with its interactive Olympic displays, music and entertainment.
The Olympic team will grow once more today as the New Zealand Olympic Committee names the triathletes to represent New Zealand at London and confirms who will lead our Olympic footballers into competition. The announcements take place at 2.15pm today.
New Zealand Olympic Team Chef de Mission Dave Currie says the 100 day milestone is significant. "London will be an outstanding games and we expect to see our 100th Olympic medal won. The venues and preparations are second to none and our athletes will make us proud."
The London Olympic Games open on 27th July 2012 and end on 12 August. New Zealand expects to send a team of around 200 athletes competing in 17 sports. To date 60 athletes have been selected in rowing, equestrian, sailing, canoe kayak and athletics.
London will be the first city to host the Olympic Games three times. New Zealand competed at both early editions of the Olympic Games in London. The first, in 1908, saw New Zealand win its first Olympic medal with a bronze by Harry Kerr in the 3500m walk. The second, in 1948, was the last time New Zealand sent athletes to the Olympic Games by ship.
New Zealand has won 90 Olympic medals to date (89 summer, one winter).
Team namings will continue until July.

Augusta, GA – The Augusta GreenJackets (41-28, 1-0) began the second half of the season with a 5-2 win over the Asheville Tourists (46-24, 0-1) on Thursday night. Starter Oliver Odle matched a career high with 10 srikeouts and Jackson Williams broke a 2-2 tie with an RBI single.
The GreenJackets plated three runs in the seventh inning to take a 5-2 lead. Andrew Davis led off the frame with a walk then moved to third on the double by Angel Villalona. Williams followed with an RBI single to chase Asheville starter Sheng-An Kuo.
The very first pitch reliever Matthew Reynolds threw was a wild pitch allowing Villalona to score and Williams to move up to third. Charlie Culberson then had an RBI sac-fly to right-field to cap off the scoring.
Odle (5-4) allowed two runs on seven hits and did not walk a batter over 7.2 innings. Odle left the game after allowing a two-out single to Everth Cabrera in the eighth inning.
Andrew De La Garza recorded his first save of the season working a perfect 1.1 innings while striking out two. Augusta took the early 2-0 lead in the first inning getting an RBI double from Nick Noonan and an RBI sac-fly to left field from Thomas Neal that nearly was a home run.

Shikun Sun's DrawBraille Mobile Phone is a Super Smartphone for the Blind
Posted By Molly Cotter On February 21, 2012 @ 10:47 am In Design,Design for Health,green gadgets,Green Technology,Innovation | 3 Comments
It seems these days that everyone is glued to their smartphones – and thanks to a new concept design by Shikun Sun, an industrial design student at Sheffield Hallam University [2] in England, the visually impaired could be included in this trend. The DrawBraille Mobile Phone is a cell phone that uses a braille [3] board and finger pads that allow the blind to communicate efficiently. And this isn't any old phone either – the design includes a book reader, text messaging, email, and even music capabilities.
The DrawBraille Mobile Phone has two main pieces. The first is comprised of 35 braille buttons in five rows. Since the main keyboard cannot hold the entire braille text [5], there are also raised "scroll up" and "scroll down" buttons for more options. The second piece is similar to the touch screen on many smart phones, but with a unique raised surface for information input. The user can tap and drag and even create their own shortcuts and words through a combination of commands.
The phone's battery life can be measured on its side, with 5 raised dots each representing 20% of its juice that retract once their percentage is used up. There is no news on the production of this super smart braille phone but the concept alone is getting lots of attention.

Human Rights in Russia
The Human Rights in Russia Project tracks, through survey data, the state of political and social development in Russia.
Creeping authoritarianism and growing nationalism are undermining democracy and rule of law in Russia. But Russia's post-Soviet political trajectory remains a critical Euro-Atlantic security concern.
To better understand the state of political development, particularly human rights and rule of law, CSIS has, since 2001, conducted nearly a dozen public opinion surveys examining a range of issues on the following topics:
- Absent Memory
- Activism and Social Marketing
- Attitudes toward Human Rights
- Democracy Assistance and Elections
- Military Abuse
- The North Caucasus
- Police Violence
- Russian Domestic Politics and U.S. Policy
- Views of Russian Women on Trafficking, Prostitution, and Discrimination
CSIS is grateful to the donors that have made this work on human rights in Russia possible:
- Ford Foundation (2004-present)
- Charles Stewart Mott Foundation (2004-2007, 2009)
- The Glaser Progress Foundation (2002-2004)
- The National Council for Eurasian and Eastern European Research (NCEEER)(2003)
- The State Department- Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (2002-2005)
For the results of survey work on Human Rights in Russia please see our program publications, organized by subject area.

Photo Anatomy: anticipating the perfect moment in Formula 1 racing photography
In our Photo Anatomy series on Digital Camera World we select pictures by famous photographers and explain point by point what makes them work.
In our latest instalment we discover how anticipation and technical skill combine in this outstanding Formula 1 photo, taken by Getty Images staff photographer Clive Mason.
Capturing the moment
This image was taken at the Singapore Grand Prix in 2010, and it shows the Scuderia Toro Rosso car, driven by the Spaniard Jaime Alguersuari, with its wheels momentarily off the track.
Clive shot from the same position the previous day. "I'd noticed that if a car were to take the wrong line into the chicane, the curbs could propel it into the air," he says.
Watching and waiting
Alguersuari, Clive noticed, "was pushing so hard it seemed only a matter of time before he hit the curbs", so he concentrated on the driver and was rewarded with this airborne shot.
Creative blur
Clive set his Nikon D3s, fitted with a 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, to shoot at 1/30 sec at f/5.6. "The shutter speed was pre-selected," he says, "as I knew the effect I was trying to create."
Drama and technique
The sight of this Formula 1 car dramatically lifting off the ground at high speed, combined with Mason's clever use of motion blur, makes this a doubly eye-catching shot.
We Say
"The Formula 1 images we see are often tightly framed and pin-sharp, but don't be afraid to try something different. Be creative: look out for different angles, vary your shutter speeds, try leaving some space around the subject… Then you'll start to get shots that really stand out from the crowd."

Tyrese and Shayla Hit The StreetsTrix
Tyrese posted a picture of himself and his daughter Shayla on his Twitter feed. He was spending a little quality time with his daughter and wanted to show all the dads out there how it's done.
He posted the picture with the caption: "What does a REAL STAR look like???"
Tyrese has some pretty level-headed and mature thoughts about fatherhood and single parenthood. I'm really impressed with what he has to say.
"Fathers, even if you and the mother of your child are not on the same page, you still have to do your part! …We all can make babies, but it takes a man to raise them and do [his] part. I repeat, do your part."
"To all single women that are doing the job of both mother and father, I love you and you are truly queens of our earth. A lot of women don't know that they're doing it, but they use their kids as weapons towards their fathers. This is just horrible. That's who you decided to have that child with. It's not the kids' fault. Allow that man to be a father especially if he wants to be a father."

The federal government has massively overstepped its Constitutional bounds and citizens across the country have become outraged and activated to combat this. The 60 state think tank members of SPN - at least one in every state in the country - are fighting back against the political class to bring about long-lasting policy change toward greater freedom, less government intrusion into our lives and a greater adherence to our founding, Constitutional principles, particularly the 10th Amendment.
Federalism in Action is an exciting new project of State Policy Network to equip our state think tank members - and others in the freedom movement - with the resources, tools, information and coordination to mobilize states to reclaim power co-opted by the federal government. Ultimately, the power of government is in your hands. We must fight back against the political class in our country and restore individual liberty, economic freedom and self-governance.

What is Federalism?
Federalism is a foundational principle of the American Republic. It asserts that the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. This concept is enshrined in the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
