Nominations for the 2013 Sports Coach UK Awards were announced earlier this week with England Head Coach Anna Mayes among a shortlist of three for the High Performance Coach of the Year Award.
There was more good news for netball as we have coaches nominated in three other categories this year. Vanessa McErlain-Naylor and Anna Robertson will contend for the Gillette Community Coach of the Year Award; Helen Smith has been nominated for the Children's Coach of the Year Award and Lynne Booth is in the mix to win the Lifetime Achievement Award.
It has been a hugely successful year for the England team, collecting 12 wins from 13 matches and Anna Mayes has been rewarded for guiding the squad on this incredible run with her nomination.
The England Netball High Performance Manager, Maggie Jackson said "It is fantastic to see Anna getting this recognition after guiding England to a truly historical year. The squad continues to grow and progress with genuine excitement and expectation building ahead of next year's Commonwealth Games. The success on court portrays the excellent work being achieved off it. This is the start of something much bigger, as Anna herself says 'better never stops'."
It has already been a successful year in terms of awards for Lynne Booth as she scooped the Grassroots Coach Award at our very own Goalden Globe Awards in September. Her remarkable involvement with the sport extends back to 1967 when she started Riverside Netball Club. 46 years later, UK Sport has recognised her fantastic contribution.
Another name from the Grassroots Coach category to make the shortlist for a UK Sport Award is Vanessa McErlain-Naylor. A UKCC Level 3 coach, she set up Brigg Netball Club 14 years ago and has continuously delivered excellent coaching to her sides which has seen the team achieve great success at local and regional level.
Vanessa is nominated alongside Anna Robertson in the Community Coach category and Anna is another well-known figure in the game. She leads Back to Netball sessions in Hereford and led her team to silverware in a West Midlands Back to Netball festival.
From the Yorkshire region, Helen Smith has been instrumental in the growth of the junior section of Allus Netball Club. She has expanded the club by delivering sessions at local primary and secondary schools. Thanks to this dedication, Helen has been nominated in the Children's Coach category.

When I was a kid, I'd wake up every Thanksgiving morning to the smell of onions cooking and hearing my parents busy in the kitchen preparing the turkey. I'd make my way downstairs, trying to stay out of their way, and flip on the television to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. There I'd sit, mesmerized by the floats and marching bands, then cheer as Santa showed up at last. For me, Santa's appearance meant the official kickoff to the holiday season.
Once the turkey was in the oven, Thanksgiving Day would be spent playing games, watching football, jumping in big leaf piles and working up big appetites for the impending feast. Man what a feast it was! Dad would carve the turkey and we'd all help ourselves to mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, and mom's delicious spicy sausage and apple stuffing.
Now that I have my own family, we split our time between my parents and my in-laws. Sometimes we host and other times we visit but one thing, okay a couple things, will always remain a tradition for me – watching the parade and enjoying time spent with family.
In our Holiday Central group, Bubblegumprincess asked what Thanksgiving traditions other people have because she'd like to start some of her own.
Runninggirl26 likes to run the turkey trot with friends and family.
Gumbowumbo and her family watch movies. "Wake up early to watch the parade, watch Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and cook, after dinner we watch Muppet Christmas Carol and Elf. I also give LO a Christmas book to read over and over until Christmas, and a cooking toy so he can help! We wake up early Friday and shop then chop our tree, bring it home and decorate it. We go out to dinner after because I am tired by then!"
SBHWeav wants to start a new tradition. "Every day, starting November 1 through the day before Thanksgiving, write down something you are thankful for and put it in a bowl/jar/whatever. Then on Thanksgiving Day, read them all together and celebrate all those amazing things!"
Mustanggirl33 plans on bringing out the Elf on the Shelf after Thanksgiving.
Do you have any fond childhood memories of Thanksgiving traditions? Have you started any of your own?

Twitter your inbound links via RSS and Twitterfeed
Here's a little experiment I set up last week to see how I could broadcast new inbound links to SEOgadget as they're discovered by Google:
As you can see these two Tweets are displaying content links to my site, so anyone linking in to me is automatically featured on my Twitter profile with a Tinyurl link back to the post with the featured link. Potentially, there's some coolness in this idea. Anyone who sends you a link will get some traffic back to their own site as soon as Google picks it up. If someone in the blogosphere knew there was an additional exposure and traffic benefit to linking out to you, they'd be a bit more likely to do it, right? Here's how it's done.
Set up an inbound link Twitter alert and post it to your Twitter profile
Start by setting up a Google Alerts RSS feed for inbound links to your site:
If you select "Comprehensive", you'll get a snapshot of everything be it News, Blogs or general web. According to Google Alert's help section: "A 'Comprehensive' alert is an aggregate of the latest results from multiple sources (News, Web and Blogs) into a single email to provide maximum coverage on the topic of your choice.".
Right on, but you might want just to go for the Blogs alert for more relevant Tweets. You can always make changes to the feed from the "Manage your alerts" console, like this:
Next you're going to need to be able to feed your RSS into your Twitter profile. We're going to do that with Twitterfeed. Twitterfeed can post directly to twitter, identi.ca, custom laconica installations, and via HelloTxt or Ping.fm. Could be used for spammin', could be used for useful stuff. You decide.
First, you've got to register with Twitterfeed. It's a touch laborious, in that you have to register via authentification services such as Vidoop or OpenID. Once all that's done, you'll get to your account panel. Select "Add new feed" to see this screen:
As you can see there's a huge range of options including the ability to filter for specific keywords, add some text to the beginning of the Tweet (eg: "Linking to SEOgadget:") and how often the Tweets are published.
There are lots of ways Twitterfeed can be used (and abused) – but I think that this is a pretty reasonable way to add to the conversation with your followers on Twitter. If they don't like it, I guess you'll find out pretty quickly :-)

Charlie Crist gives thumbs up to Bob Kanjian
No surprise here: Gov. Charlie Crist has just announced his endorsement of Republican Bob Kanjian for election to the Palm Beach County Commission District 3 seat.
Crist appointed Kanjian to the commission post in 2007. Crist tapped the former School Board member to replace former Commissioner Warren Newell, who is serving a five-year federal prison term on public corruption charges.
"It is a great honor that I support him once again," Crist writes in a letter that Kanjian's campaign is distributing in the district.
Kanjian is running against Democratic state Rep. Shelley Vana of Lantana.

tiny floating particles.
This is driving me insane. I have extremely tiny particles floating in my aquarium water.(It's not milky.) The tank has been up and running for months, and I've done partial water changes as recommended. It's a 16 gallon tank from a kit, and I use the filter that came with it: the Aqueon Quiet Flow 20. At first, I thought maybe I had failed to rinse my gravel thoroughly. But if that was the case, wouldn't all those particles either sink, or get caught in the filter, by now?
Any thoughts on how to get clear water?
It is probably just little air bubbles. If not I have no idea.
I thought that might be the problem... so I turned off the air pump for a few hours, but it didn't help.
then I don't know.
Without seeing a picture it is hard to tell you how to solve the problem. All tanks are going to have some kind of particulates floating around occasionally.
Yes I have some to.
Try running polishing pads in your filter. The ultra-fine pads usually last for about 10 days before you have to remove them but it catches the vast majority of the particles in my tank. I've only had to use it once, wasnt sure that the particles were either, maybe my calcium stains were dissolving and pieces were floating around, anywho, the pad solved my problem and my particles haven't come back.
i have a similar Aqueon kit for a 10 gallon tank, and i have a smaller version of the filter you have. if it is air bubbles, just try increasing or decreasing the amount of water slightly to raise the level a bit. sometimes, in my tank if the water level is at a certain point, the water runs into the tank, and trickels off the blue plastic piece filter guard thingy, and causes a ton of air bubbles. like if you look at it from below, you can't even see the fish food on the water surface.

text: Geneticists hack the E. coli genome with new DNA editing technique Science 15 July 11 by Mark Brown NIAID Genetic engineers from Yale University, MIT and Harvard University have discovered a novel way to make wholesale and targeted edits to the genome of living bacteria, without disrupting the cell's function.The technology could be used to genetically engineer bacteria that are resistant to all forms of viral infection, or introduce safeguards to stop cross-contamination between modified organisms and the wild, or even encourage cells to produce new proteins that are not found in nature.To start off with, the team hacked the genome of Escherichia coli (aka E. coli, the nasty bacteria strain that gets in your gut and makes mammals sick) to make hundreds of targeted edits to the microscopic creature's DNA.DNA consists of long strings of "letters" (G, A, T and C, which signify the nucleotides Guanine, Adenine, Thymine and Cytosine). Living organisms use genetic code to translate those letters into amino acids, which in turn become proteins.During translation, the cell looks for three-letter DNA "words" called codons, which either tell the cell to keep piling on the amino acids, or stop altogether. The cell's genetic programming will link the necessary amino acids into protein strings until it hits a stop codon.The geneticists targeted one of those stop codons: the TAG phrase that's found 314 times in the E. coli's genome. They wanted to drop every single TAG phrase in favour of another stop codon, TAA -- just like using "Find and Replace" in a word processor.The researchers first use MAGE, or multiplex automated genome engineering, which is a technique for making tiny edits to DNA. Essentially you take a pool of water and chuck in billions of E. coli and fragments of single-stranded DNA. You zap the water with electricity so the DNA passes through the bacteria's cell membranes.What you have now is 32 strains of E. coli, each of which has 10 TAG codons replaced with TAA. To get to a cell that has all 314 edits, the team used its newly invented technology dubbed conjugative assembly genome engineering (CAGE).This hijacks a naturally occurring process that bacteria use to exchange genetic material with neighbouring cells. The genetic engineers set up a playoff-like system so each strain shares its DNA with one other strain, causing an snowball effect.After the first round of CAGE, there were now just 16 strains, but they had double the TAA codons. Then eight strains, and double the replacement codons again.In their excitement, the team has published the paper without getting to a single strain with all 314 codons replaced. At this point, the researchers have four strains, each of which has about one-quarter of the possible TAG substitutions. They believe that they are on the track for complete replacement, though.Once that's done, the ultimate goal is to "delete" the TAG codon, freeing up space in the E. coli's genome for a completely new codon, and a new purpose. "We're trying to challenge people to think about the genome as something that's highly malleable, highly editable," says Harris Wang, a research fellow at Harvard Medical School.

Hi all
My LO has had a cough for the past week which took a turn for the worse yesterday - he was coughing so much that he was being sick and was bringing up lots of phlegm.
I took him to the doctors today who listened to his chest and prescribed him with amoxicillin as it is a bit on his chest.
I thought, fine, great, should clear it up then... until i googled it and read all sorts about the bad things for babies given antibiotics. such as the risk of developing allergies and asthma, and discoloured adult teeth!
I've started giving him the medicine. but what does evryone think? should i be giving antibiotics to my baby? did the doctor really need to prescribe it or would he develop a nasty chest infection if i left him to fight it off on his own?
i really am my own worst enemy when it comes to looking things up on the internet - gets me worrying about all sorts. but i just want the best for my baby x
My baby is on trimethiprim and has been for 4 months as he has a kidney problem. It is a bit of a risk but I feel it is better than him feeling rotton. My son has a bad chest and he never got antibitotic and it turned nasty and he was in hospital on oxygen for a week. I wish he had had antibiotics now.
If you are still concerned speak to your doctor!
im suprised the doctor has given you anti biotics as chest infection are viral infections and anti biotics wont touch it. you just have to give calpol and saline up the nose and let clear up on it own unless it creates breathing problems like my lil man was only in hospital last week with bronchitus an his oxgen levels fell so needed oxygen and then was given an inhaler, but the doctor said most babies dont get to that stage.I Think gps just given them out to be on the safe side
Hi There,
Am working in the medical field. Small children and their sysmptoms should never been taken lightly. My lil one was on antibiotics when she was 14 days old. She had a small boil on her face, which i ognored and got to a stage where her whole blood stream got infected and was admitted to hosp for 1 week on antibiotics.
In UK (having lived in Dxb, india), GP's never prescibe any drugs unless its absoluetly necessary or considered essential (obviously they need to justify costs as NHS pays). So No GP will 'simply' give you antibiotics. In last 6 years (no matter how ill i was), i was just pescribed twice. However when my lil one was ill, they were more concerned and ensured right treatment was given (which is good thing infact).
If i was you, i would def give the lil one antibiotics and ensure the treatment is completed (5 days or 7 days course). It will help your lil one recover soon and feel better. Antibiotics help clear flem and reduce chest /respitatory infections. You could ignore advices and leave the lil one to suffer more and if it gets worse take to A&E and then give higher / stronger dose of antibitocs then - choice is entierely your's.
Hi thank you for your comments. I've been giving him the doses and glad I did. It would be terrible if he became really ill and i now feel it was right to give them. Like you said, A gp isn't going to give them unless she feels it is necessary x

The show was wonderful; in addition to her singing, Judy had interesting stories to tell. An overall great show.
Quotes & Highlights
"[Judy's] velvety voice, phrasing and conversational delivery of a song are all products of years spent listening to the timeless recordings of the Carpenters. Her passion and joy for the material make Judy the perfect vocalist to pay tribute." —Randy Schmidt (author, Little Girl Blue: the Life of Karen Carpenter)
2011 Grammy nominated vocalist Judy Pancoast and Musical Director Michael Pierce present Closer to You A Live Tribute to The Carpenters. The Historic Regent Theatre in Arlington, Massachusetts will provide the perfect setting for celebrating the timeless love songs of The Carpenters, including such classics as "We've Only Just Begun," "Rainy Days and Mondays," "I Won't Last a Day Without You" and, of course, "Close to You." Pancoast was just 11 years old when her older sister told her about a song she'd heard on the radio, and said that the girl singing it sounded "just like you." That was the summer of 1970, and when Judy finally heard "(They Long to Be) Close to You" it was the beginning of a childhood adulation that would last well into her adult years. She spent her adolescent and teen years listening nearly nonstop to the music of the brother and sister duo who called themselves "The Carpenters," and she became one of the charter members of their fan club at age 12. Judy's natural rich alto voice blended well with Karen's, and she spent countless hours in front of a mirror with a hair brush "microphone" mimicking her idol's voice. Later, while a music major at the University of Maine, she was advised to "stop trying to sound like Karen Carpenter," but although she managed finally to all but erase the traces of Karen's styling, the influence had already had its impact.

Sitting in that warm bathtub water, our naked bodies wrapped around each other, made me feel as if we were the only people in the world so in love that night. My head was snuggled underneath his chin, and his arms wrapped around my chest, made me feel so comfortable and so protected. At that moment, I felt that time had stopped and didn't wish for it to end. The echoing silence of pure and true love surrounded us like a thin veil – it was intoxicating, as if the mist carried our love, touching the flickers of the candles and radiated the room with a warm, bright light. We were completely and utterly in love.
We began to daydream about our future together – our dream house, kids, a career – all entangled with a passion of young love. His goatee brushed against my cheek as he kissed me gently, and his hands and fingers found their way in mine. I felt completely trusting of him, and loved him so much more, during that one moment in time.
Soon, one of his hands found its way to encircle my nipple. With the rough tips of his fingers, he began to softly rub the tip in gentle strokes, then massaging it between his thumb and his forefinger. I moaned softly while his other hand began to cover my other breast to squeeze and massage it gently. With that encouragement, I began to moan louder and louder. Soon, his hand had released my breast, and ventured south, right between my legs, and I felt his hands rub my already pulsing clit, still raw from his mouth and goatee, was now feeling even more raw as his submerged hand rubbed me, making me feel even hornier.
"Why don't we go for round two?" He whispered in my ear.
He didn't have to ask me twice. We sloppily got out of the tub, rubbed ourselves dry with a towel, and we ran toward the bed again once more. He lay on the bed, and as he tried to pull me toward him, I resisted, slightly.
"Wait, I have another surprise for you," I purred.
"Another one?!" he exclaimed.
I went into the kitchen and took out a few things from my fridge, and brought them to him. In my arms were a bottle of chocolate syrup, whipped cream, a glass with ice cubes, Altoid mints, and wrapped chocolate.
"Here, I bought these for you," I said, as I handed him his favorite chocolate.
"Wow, thanks. You really are full of surprises tonight," he said. He popped a chocolate in his mouth.
"Well, it's not over yet. Lay back, because I wanted to try some things with you," I said.
I took the cold chocolate syrup and squeezed a bit on his cock. He slightly flinched at the coldness, but in a second, my tongue was swirling the sticky chocolate with my tongue, covering his half-erect penis with traces of chocolate.
"Oops, I see you've become such a mess, let me clean it up for you," I purred.
My tongue began to flip and swirl around his head and shaft, licking off the stickiness of the chocolate from his cock, lapping up the saltiness of his cock and the sweetness of the chocolate in long strokes, as I massaged his dick in my hands. My mouth then covered his cock and my head bobbed slowly, sucking his dick to take the stickiness away.
"Oh, we can't have a cock sundae without whipped cream," I said. I took the whipped cream canister from the table, and a shot of air blew on his penis. He flinched and sighed.
"Wow, that felt a bit intense, feeling a shot of an air blast shoot on my dick like that," he sighed. A blotch of cream was on his shaft, as I covered bits of his stomach with cream. I leaned over and began to lap up the cream with my tongue and mouth in long strokes, tracing circles on his stomach.
"You are such a mess! Here, let me clean it up for you a little more," I whispered, as I reached for the glass that held ice cubes, grabbed a piece of ice in my hand, and began to smear the melting ice on his cock. He flinched even more.
As I smeared the ice cube on his dick, my mouth followed the traces of the ice cube with my mouth, making sure to not leave the ice cube on the same place for more than a split second, giving his cock a hot-and-cold feeling as his cock was given an ice and mouth bath. When the ice cube melted, I warmed up his cock again with my mouth, sucking it with my mouth and nipping his cock with my lips until his cock felt warm again. Then, I decided to go one more step further: the mints.
"We can't have a cock sundae without an after-dinner mint, now can't we?" I said. I placed a few Altoid mints in my mouth, then went down on him again, sucking him and moving the mints around the surface of his cock.
"My cock has a minty-fresh feeling," he said. Once the mints were gone, I sucked him again, and then ventured up his stomach, caressing his neck and licking his ear, while my hand jerked his cock in hard movements.
"With all the experimentation you're doing this evening, you're making me even hornier. I want to make love to you now," he whispered, his hands again massaging my breasts.
"I'm all yours tonight," I purred. He took me in his arms and laid me on the bed, as I wondered what he was going to do next…

Dragon at the North Pole
Baker & Taylor

In order to boost vehicle sales, automaker financing branches such as Ford Motor Credit, Toyota Motor Credit, GMAC, as well as many local lenders and dealers, have been offering 84 month auto loans.
84-Month-Auto-Loans.com has partnered with one of the most comprehensive national networks of automotive lenders and dealer financiers in the industry to find you the loan you need. If you're ready to apply for one of these 84 month auto loans, just submit your credit application via our secure online system. Our advanced matching system will place your application with the most suitable lender given your unique credit profile, income, location, and vehicle financing needs.
84 Month Financing: Advantages
Lower Monthly Payments: because you have a period of 7 years to pay off your vehicle, the payment each month will be lower than a 72 or 60 month auto loan.
More Car for The Same Payment: if you can afford a flat car payment of $400/month, for instance, this would equate to a $24,000 vehicle with a 60 month loan, but a $33,600 vehicle with 84 month financing.
84 Month Financing: Disadvantages
Depreciation: most new vehicles depreciate to about half their value in the first three years, and most car buyers trade-in within 3-4 years. That far into a 60 month loan, the vehicle is often worth the same amount as the remaining loan balance. But 3-4 years into an 84 month auto loan, you will still owe more than the car is worth. The result can be negative equity, also known as going "upside down" on your car loan.
Higher Interest: because you'll be paying interest for 7 years instead of the more typical 5.5-6 years, you'll end paying a higher finance charge in the long run, effectively increase the total amount you pay for your vehicle. Additionally, some lenders will charge a higher interest rate for an 84 month car loan than they would for a 60 or 72 month loan.
For an 84 Month Car Loan, it's Best if…
You're the kind of owner who likes to drive the same vehicle for at least 5-5.5 years — this is how long it will take you to break even on the note if you want to trade in your car, truck, or SUV for something else. If you get the itch to trade-in every 27-33 months, an 84 month car loan is not your best option.
You're sure the vehicle you want will offer everything you need in terms of size, style, luxury, and amenities for the next few years. Remember this if you want a two-seat sports car but see a baby on the horizon, etc.
The monthly payments are relatively easy on your budget, and your financial situation is well-established. A lot can happen in 7 years with the economy, jobs, fuel prices, and other factors. Don't lock yourself into a long-term loan that strains your budget.
You are quite comfortable with the monthly payment, the vehicle is just what you want, and you see yourself driving it for a long time to come.

Popcorn is a Human snack food made from cooked corn kernels, usually served with butter, cheese and/or salt. Since the early 20th century, it has been associated with films, as it is a traditional snack served at movie theaters.
On the Starfleet ship Enterprise, they had a "movie night" about once a week at which popcorn was usually served. (ENT: "Dear Doctor")
Travis Mayweather once noted when Commander Tucker accidentally "cloaked" his hand that it could be useful at movie night, if you have a date, to steal popcorn. (ENT: "The Communicator")
While he was living in the Las Vegas Lounge holoprogram in 2375, Nog enjoyed eating popcorn while watching movies such as Shane. (DS9: "It's Only a Paper Moon")
In 2377, when Tom Paris recreated the Palace Theater, he also replicated some popcorn for his date with B'Elanna Torres. Later, when the crew was invited to a showing of Attack of the Lobster People, Neelix would offer popcorn (buttered and unbuttered) as they entered. (VOY: "Repression") Paris later ate popcorn while watching cartoons in his quarters after recovering from being brainwashed by the Quarren. (VOY: "Workforce, Part II")

A day after a Pacific storm walloped the Northwest with heavy rains and wind, Tuesday's encore continued to cause havoc in Clark County.
Showery conditions are likely to continue Wednesday before giving way to a mostly dry Thanksgiving, forecasters say. Anyone hitting the road before the holiday should be ready for snow in the mountain passes through the Cascades.
Rain should return by Friday, according to the weather service, and may stick around into next week.
On Tuesday, a cooler, showery pattern brought hit-and-miss rainfall to the area throughout the day, with the heaviest showers at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. But passing squalls were big enough to again leave standing water on some local roads and highways.
Vancouver Public Works had about a dozen calls by early afternoon about flooding on city streets, said spokeswoman Loretta Callahan. Most problems were because of clogged storm drains or the volume of water maxing out the system, she said. Crews cleared a clogged culvert on Cedar Creek Road in far north Clark County on Tuesday afternoon, said Jeff Mize, spokesman for county's Public Works department. The culvert had been clogged for 36 hours.
Capt. Dave James with the Vancouver Fire Department said drivers should take caution when navigating water-logged roadways. He advises going around these large pools of water because it is difficult to tell how deep they are. If you can't avoid these spots, drive through them very slowly.
"If you go fast it can splash up into the engine compartment, get into the distributor cap and stall the engine," he said.
How much rain fell Tuesday? That depends on where you were standing.
Consider the disparate numbers on opposite sides of the Columbia River. At one point Tuesday morning, Pearson Field recorded 0.25 inch of rain in one hour. At Portland International Airport, during the same hour, the rain gauge collected just 0.07 inch, according to the National Weather Service.
By 8 p.m., Vancouver had recorded 0.58 inch of rain Tuesday, according to the weather service.
Monday's final total gave the city 1.64 inches of precipitation — good enough to beat a 91-year-old record for that date. But Vancouver was far from the wettest place in Clark County.
In La Center, 3.7 inches of rain was reported during a 24-hour period ending late Monday night, said Liana Ramirez, a meteorologist with the weather service in Portland. Camas saw nearly 2 inches just between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday, she said.
The source: a moist, slow-moving front that wrung itself out over Washington and Oregon.
"It was able to dump a lot of rain, and it was pretty widespread," Ramirez said. Rainfall amounts varied based on elevation and the pattern of the system carrying it, she added.
Strong winds and falling trees caused sporadic power outages around Clark County both Monday and Tuesday, said Erica Erland, spokeswoman for Clark Public Utilities. Almost 5,000 were without power around 2:20 p.m. Tuesday while workers bypassed a bad transmission switch at the Minnehaha substation. Crews worked throughout Tuesday night to repair lines and restore power.
Clogged culverts and debris also blocked a handful of highways in the region, said Washington State De
partment of Transportation spokeswoman Abbi Russell. Workers continued to clear roads on Tuesday.
Locally, a shorthanded WSDOT crew has worked long hours to keep things moving during the early part of the holiday week, Russell said. Stormy conditions aren't new for road maintenance crews, but this week marked the first big event of the season, she said.
"Every time we have a storm like this, they never cease to amaze me," Russell said.

Aligning Forces for Quality Report
Local Efforts to Transform American Health Care
This special report from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's (RWJF) Aligning Forces for Quality (AF4Q) initiative chronicles the program's ambitious progress.
AF4Q is the Foundation's signature effort to improve the overall quality of health care in targeted communities, reduce racial and ethnic disparities and provide models for national reform. It asks the people who get care, give care and pay for care to work together toward common, fundamental objectives to lead to better care. The program works to improve health care in 15 communities, that together cover 11 percent of the U.S. population. It is the largest effort of its kind ever undertaken by a U.S. philanthropy.
This report details some of the impressive activities and early results that the communities, as local leaders in the field of health care quality, have collectively achieved in three important areas of focus:
- Performance measurement and public reporting: using common standards to measure the quality of care that doctors and hospitals deliver to patients and making that information available to the public;
- Consumer engagement: encouraging patients to be active managers of their health care, and make informed choices about their doctors and hospitals; and
- Quality improvement: implementing techniques and protocols that doctors, nurses and others in physician offices and hospitals can follow to improve care.

Hi all,
On Sunday I completed my first race on my new Giant Reign 3 FS. WOW what a great bike I have never used full suspension before, and am really glad I have upgraded. Used to doing 20-25km races and did a 56km race this time. Was tired but F**K this bike is fast on the downhills and flats, pity it is not all that fast on the uphills(or is that me?)
Just thought I would post it here.


text: <x-flowed>Tom Bridgeman's post reminded us that we need to do something about the AstroPy web page. We will look into moving to an STScI server soon. I thought I would take this an opportunity to say a little about our plans. Right now plotting is our biggest concern. We had staked our plans on Chaco, but in trying to work with it, we decided it was to complicated to build on. We then began designing a new plotting package when some suggested we take a look at matplotlib. That package looks very promising to us and that is what we are now planning to build on. It isn't clear how soon we will have something available for that. There are a number of issues related to our use of it, some of which may or may not be issues with others, namely: 1) it must have a Tkinter-based backend available so that it can be used with PyRAF. 2) it must be usable with numarray 3) relatively easily distributable. 4) IDL-style plotting functions (matplotlib is very matlab-based; we plan on providing more IDL-like functions) 5) image support (it has some psuedo-image support now, but not what we really need. We are hoping that we can accomplish 1-3 within a few weeks. At that point we make our changes available (either as part of matplotlib or layered on it). There are many other extensions we hope to make to it. Some may find it useful currently if the Tkinter or numarray requirements are not needed. Up to now our efforts have been focused primarily on numarray and PyFITS (and plotting, but with no visible product yet). In the coming year our attention will quickly move towards making more libraries available for numarray so you should see many more announcements regarding these in the next 12 months.

Avon to Honor Global Champions in the Fight Against Breast Cancer and Domestic Violence at the Avon Foundation Global Voices for Change Gala
Fergie, Natasha Bedingfield and Other Global Music Icons to Announce the Winners of the Avon Voices Talent Search at the Gala Event
NEW YORK, October 27, 2011 – Avon Products, Inc. will celebrate the culmination of its 125th anniversary year on November 2 at the Avon Foundation for Women Global Voices for Change Awards Gala by honoring global champions working to end breast cancer and domestic violence, and by announcing the winners of Avon's first-ever global online singing talent search for women and songwriting competition for women and men, Avon Voices. Avon Chairman and CEO Andrea Jung, Fergie, Natasha Bedingfield, Ashley Greene and more than 800 guests and performers from 39 countries will attend this star-studded celebration at the Marriot Marquis in New York City's Times Square, which is expected to raise more than $2.3 million for the Avon Foundation for Women. The event can be viewed via Livestream at www.facebook.com/avonvoices beginning at 7:30 PM EST.
"This year we are thrilled that our awards reflect the truly global nature of our critical work to eradicate breast cancer and violence against women. We will honor the dedication and support of our partners around the world who share in our commitment to improve the lives of women," said Andrea Jung. "By the end of this year – our 125th year – Avon global philanthropy will have donated more than $860 million, thanks to the grassroots efforts of our network of 6.5 million Representatives, 40,000 Associates and hundreds of millions of consumers – making us the largest corporate philanthropy focused solely on women's causes in the world."
"The Avon Foundation Gala is one of the most anticipated nights of the year, and I'm excited to be a part of it and to celebrate Global Voices for Change – those true champions around the world who work tirelessly to empower women and improve their health and safety," said Fergie, six-time Grammy award winner, Avon Voices judge and Gala Co-Host with Andrea Jung. "It has been my great pleasure to serve as a judge for Avon Voices, and I'm so pleased that our year-long global talent search will come to its conclusion at the Avon Foundation Gala."
Avon Foundation for Women Global Awards Recipients
Every year since 2001 at its annual gala, the Avon Foundation for Women recognizes individuals and organizations in the United States for their leadership in the causes that are most important to women. To date, the Avon Foundation Gala has raised more than $22 million. This year, Avon Foundation Gala honorees span the globe, honoring organizations that improve access to breast health care and assist victims of domestic and gender violence. Avon Voices celebrity judges will help present these awards.
Global Breast Cancer Medical Advancement Champions Award (Brazil and Poland)
Andrea Jung, Colombian singing star Maia, and Brazil's biggest pop star Ivete Sangalo, will present the first Global Breast Cancer Medical Advancement Champions Award to the Barretos Cancer Hospital, a center of excellence in oncology care located in rural Brazil that assists nearly 3,000 patients per day, nearly all of them low-income and all part of the Brazilian public health system. Avon Brazil has supported the Barretos Cancer Hospital since 2002 and helped fund the creation of the Avon Institute Breast Cancer Prevention Center, purchase digital mammography and ultrasound equipment, and upgrade the hospital's mobile mammography van. Through this partnership, the program now screens 60,000 women each year and has improved the detection of early-stage cancers. Barretos Cancer Hospital Executive Director Henrique Duarte Prata will accept the award.
Stowarzyszenie Amazonki, the Association of Amazon Women – an organization providing support to women affected by breast cancer throughout Poland – will receive the second Global Breast Cancer Medical Advancement Champions Award. Andrea Jung and Russian singing sensation Valeriya will present the award to the organization's board member, Ewa Grabiec-Raczak, who is also a breast cancer survivor. Stowarzyszenie Amazonki has received funding from the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade in Poland since 1997 to provide cancer rehabilitation and education activities for 15,000 breast cancer survivors at 140 sites throughout Poland.
2011 Global Community Advocacy Champions (Philippines and United Kingdom)
Avon Foundation for Women President Carol Kurzig, Filipina singer and actress Lea Salonga, and Australian Artist of the Decade Delta Goodrem, will present the first Global Community Advocacy Champions Award to the Women's Crisis Center in Quezon City, Philippines, for its life-saving work to support victims of domestic violence. The Center provides crisis intervention, counseling, temporary shelter, education and training services and serves as secretariat for the National Network of Family Violence Prevention Programs. Theresa Balayon, Women's Crisis Center Executive Officer, will accept the award.
Refuge, the largest single provider of specialized domestic violence services in the United Kingdom, will receive the second Global Community Advocacy Champions Award. Lisa King, an advocate in the effort to end violence against women and head of communications for Refuge, will accept the award from Carol Kurzig and Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Natasha Bedingfield. Refuge helps disadvantaged, homeless, and abused women and children rebuild their lives. Avon U.K. funding supports Refuge's network of independent domestic violence advocates who work with women who are at the greatest risk of serious injury and harm.
2011 Voice for Change Champion (United States)
Andrea Jung and Ashley Greene, brand ambassador for mark, Avon's beauty and fashion boutique brand, will present Cindi Leive, editor-in-chief of Glamour Magazine, with the 2011 Voice for Change Champion Award in recognition of Glamour's commitment to empowering and educating women by calling attention to the critical issue of partner violence. Earlier this year, the Avon Foundation partnered with Glamour in the Tell Somebody text-to-donate campaign that raised awareness and funds for the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Through this campaign, Glamour encouraged women to talk about relationship violence — both to ask for help and to offer it without judgment. In support of the Tell Somebody campaign, the Avon Foundation donated $200,000 to the National Domestic Violence Hotline to help ensure that no call goes unanswered when a victim makes the difficult decision to reach out for help.
Avon Voices
Also at the Gala, the Avon Voices talent search will conclude with the announcement of the two Avon Voices winners – one an Avon Representative – who will be chosen from among the top ten finalists, based on a combination of their live performances at the Hard Rock Café on November 1, and 2.5 million votes received from around the world. The ten finalists are: Pauline Alencar (Brazil); Evelina Anusauskaite (Lithuania); Cissy Crutcher (US); Jaclyn Dustin (US); Selena Gittens (Canada – Avon Representative); Joy Loria (Philippines – Avon Representative); Roslynn Mahe (UK); Rapeeporn Pratum-Anon (Thailand); Claudia Santos Morandi (Venezuela); Natalia Terekhova (Russia).
The winners of the Avon Voices talent search will record an album that will be sold through Avon distribution channels in select markets, and include an original song written by Grammy and Golden Globe award winning music industry legend Diane Warren and produced by seven-time Grammy winning producer/engineer Humberto Gatica. The Avon Voices finalists will join many of the celebrity judges to debut this song live at the Gala. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this album in 2012 will go to the Avon Foundation for Women. Additionally, Avon Voices will make a $25,000 donation to the Avon Foundation in honor of its commitment to advancing women's empowerment around the world.

MTV and their most notorious reality TV cast have joined together with Architecture for Humanity [2] to air a live fund-raising special to help victims of Hurricane Sandy [3]. The proceeds will go towards restoring the New Jersey community of Seaside Heights, a popular resort community on the New Jersey shoreline.

Seaside Heights was hit hard by the hurricane, with damage to an estimated 90-percent of the town's property. The boardwalk in the town, which served as a significant tourist attraction and source of revenue, has been completely destroyed. According to Architecture for Humanity [6], "Having spent four years working on rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina [7], we recognize the damage in New Jersey to be on par with some of the worst hit areas of the Gulf coast. We need to build back stronger and in a more resilient manner."
Architecture for Humanity [8] is a non-profit organization that works with over 50,000 volunteer professionals to design and construct sustainable developments. The television special, called Restore the Shore, will air on Thursday, November 15 at 11 pm Eastern, and will be shot live from Times Square in New York City. Donations are being accepted prior to the show through the Architecture for Humanity website.

My Mission: To create some kind of noticable life in the creek behind my house
There is a creek behind my house that runs around the neighborhood, and me and my friends often go out there to hang out as theres benches, no one around, and just pretty peaceful.
However, thats where my problem comes in, its TOO peaceful. Kinda boring sometimes. Ive seen some tadpoles down there, occasionally some bigger fish (for a small creek atleast), and once even a turtle (highlight of my year right there....), but it still kinda sucks. Does anyone have any ideas as to how i can create some form of life, preferably fish, down there? Or are creeks just lost causes for lots of fish.
Some things to keep in mind, I live in Texas, so account for the weather if needed. And I really have no idea what there is for fish to eat down there. I really know nothing about fish, but I do think itd be cool to see some life down there and say I atleast helped in making it.
It all depends on water quality, if there are not fish in it now it is most likely hopeless....
I think introducing non-native fish to the wild in general is just a bad idea regardless of the environment... if you find fish down the creek and move them up it might be ok, but adding just any fish that will survive may negatively impact other parts of the ecosystem balance.
try lifting rocks in the creek, theres probably some small fish in there or at the very least aquatic invertebrates
There is probably a government department that deals with public waterways and wildlife issues. It there is anything you can do, it would only be under the direction of the relevant authority. Otherwise, you shouldn't interfere with a natural ecosystem.
Where I live in Australia, it's illegal to introduce fish into waterways. And some plants. So check your laws.
Posted via Mobile Device
Nothing wrong with stocking native fish to streams or ponds in my view. I have stocked ponds and lakes for Farmers,and Preppy Suburbanites with native fishes I have caught from streams and rivers for some time.
Conservation Dept, also does this here in Missouri if you call and ask them to. They will stock the pond or lake BUT owner must then allow those who ask ,,,permission to fish the pond/lake .Or ,,,you can purchase fish through the Dept and they will deliver them, usually in the spring for a price.
Streams are what they are,fish will go with the flow. If favorable conditions and food is available, they will be there, If not,,they won't.
another thing is that maybe there arent any fish in that particular stretch. Go upstream or downstream for a good distance, you should find a stretch that has fish
you might even decide to dam it to make a mini lake. Personally I woulden't try to stock it even if you own it. Before you stock it test the water first.

You should keep an eye on how competitors use email marketing. Signing up for emails from your competitors is a simple way to keep track. You can use this information to ensure that youre always ahead of the curve when it comes to email quality. See if you can find niches not addressed by your competition. If your competitors are sending out promotions, try to make yours more valuable.
Consider sending out SMS messages along with your marketing emails. Used in conjunction, your can increase the information received by your customers. You can build more customer awareness through text messages and effectively brand your business. Use a personal tone in all email marketing campaigns. Your customers are more likely to respond if they feel like the company perceives them as an individual, rather than a number. Sign the message with the name of your companys president or CEO to impress your customers.
Freebies are great tools to boost customer relationships, and they could be considered a part of your email marketing Bet365 campaign. Attach a short note that they should take advantage of that offer in a timely manner. You can let them know that it is a time-limited offer and that they have to act quickly, boosting the chances that they will act on your email.
Make sure that your website has multiple links where a visitor can subscribe, but dont do it in a way that will cause them to feel pressured. Let your clients know that you are not selling or giving away their personal data and disclose the benefits they will enjoy by signing up. Your email marketing success is directly dependent on your being able to acquire basic contact information from customers. Your emails for marketing should be sent out on a regular basis. Ideally, your emails should be sent on a certain day of each week, at a consistent time. By doing this, your emails will arrive in your consumers inbox when they expect them to. When it comes to emails, never rely on images to provide your subscribers with important information. A lot of email clients will block images right away. Your messages may look strange or be impossible for some people to read if the information depends too heavily on graphics. Put the most critical information in text that is clear, and be certain that all images in your emails have alt tags that are descriptive.
When a business owner first sets up an email marketing campaign, he or she may unknowingly breach established standards of etiquette. It is possible to use email marketing as an effective way to communicate with customers. Keep reading for some useful tips on the proper etiquette for email marketing.
Include lots of useful information in all your messages. Dont just fill them up with information about your products. Include things that will truly help your customers. Give subscribers unique articles and things that might be unavailable on your site. Include special offers from your company, as well. Make sure to send emails even when you arent selling anything, like during holidays.
Test your emails across a variety of platforms for the most effective campaigns. Once you have perfected your materials, test them using all major browsers, various email clients and different operating systems, including Linux. A message in Hotmail may look entirely different from a message opened in Gmail.
You want your title to be strong. The subject title needs to make a strong first impression and a clever title can entice the reader to click. If you do that, half the battle is won and you can keep them reading.
Multi-part messages are the most effective way to ensure that your message is readable to the recipient. These emails include both plain text and HTML versions of your messages so that your readers can decide on the option thats right for them. Utilizing this strategy is worth the time invested because subscribers that opt to display emails in plain text only will unsubscribe from a list that only sends emails in HTML.
Have subscribers type in their email address twice when filling out the form to opt into your email list. Sometimes, people do not enter their proper email address, adding too many letters or typing .cmo rather than .com. Having them confirm their e-mail will eliminate mistakes caused by this.
Create an email list organically. Do not buy or rent a list. Instead, make up a list of contacts by using business cards of people you have met, and also by utilizing subscription sign ups within your site. Your list will grow with people who are truly interested in your business.
Be ethical, and send your marketing emails only to those who have provided their permission for you to contact them this way. Delivering messages to consumers who have shown no interest in receiving them will only lead to them putting a block on your emails. Your email provider might blacklist you if they receive a number of spam complaints.

Fishing Report
is the full moon! Fishing has been slow, but tide action
will be great this week. Your best BITE will be midday -
remember to watch the tidal flow around the bayous and marsh
on an incoming/outgoing tide - and be where the fish are
lying in wait for the bait as it moves with the tide. Get

The biggest Speckled
Trout caught on the coast of Texas was in Baffin
Bay in 1996 - it weighed 13.69 lb. and was 33.13 inches
long. The largest one on IGFA records for the whole world
was caught in 1995 in Fort Pierce, Florida and weighed
17 lb.7 ounces. FYI, the record for East Matagorda Bay
is held by Mark Idoux, who caught a 10.9 lb. 31-inch speckled
trout on 01/20/99 on a rod and reel.

The Ladies' Hooker Tournament is coming
up this weekend for offshore. Tournament headquarters is at Skipper's
Bait and Tackle - checkin is on Friday at 5 p.m. and fishing begins
on Saturday at 6 a.m. with a weigh-in deadline of 7 p.m. This tournament
is for kingfish with a side pot for the largest non-category fish.
It looks like the wind is going to be blowing out of the
southeast and the south for most of the week and should be around
10 mph or less. There's always our usual chance of thunderstorms
popping up unexpectedly so be on the lookout for that.
Surf fishing should prove to be good this week - I think
the trout will be partial to live bait - like shrimp under a popping
cork or croaker.
Offshore may be a busy spot this weekend with the offshore
Hookers Tournament going on. If you're looking for kings, find a
shrimp boat culling and cleaning the nets - kingfish (and other
species as well) will hang around the shrimp boats looking for an
easy meal.
In East Matagorda Bay the south shoreline might be a good
spot to try with something like a Texas Trout (or Redfish) Killer
-- or a Rapala Skitter Walk if you're looking for reds.The deeper
shell spots and grassy spots along the south shoreline should be
good bets with soft plastics. My recommendations - Brown Cedar Cut,
Halfmoon Shoal, Cleveland Reef, and the East End.
For West Matagorda Bay you might stick with the south shoreline
down around Cotton's and Green's Bayou areas - try using chartreuse
and bone Top Dogs or Super Spooks. Oyster Lake has produced some
trout this past week on live shrimp under a popping cork. My recommendations
- south shoreline around Green's, Airport Flats, South Jetty Pocket,
Outer Shell Island, the Wells.
The pier and jetties should be good for whiting, croaker,
and sand trout on fresh dead. If you throw live shrimp under a popping
cork or croaker, you might bring in some reds or specks, too.
What baits do we like this week? Plum and morning glory
looks good for soft plastics and topwaters should be good in the
light colors like bone and chartreuse.
And in the meantime - come on down and wet a hook!
Enjoy our bays!
Good Luck!
P.S. I would love to get some feedback from you guys --
are you finding these newsletters helpful? Any suggestions for improvements?
Let me know.

We had a good day of fishing over in East Matagorda Bay today. We
saw lots of nice trout brought in by drift fishermen who drifted
over shell reefs using artificials and live shrimp. It was a pretty
day offshore today - not many boats out but it was beautiful. Good
Wednesday 08/21/02
The south shoreline of West Matagorda Bay produced a few
keeper trout and reds on artificials, but there were lots of small
trout caught. There were some keeper trout and reds caught using
topwaters and drifting over scattered shell in East Matagorda Bay.
A few boats went offshore today and came in with limits of red snapper.
Tuesday 08/20/02
East Matagorda Bay produced trout and a few reds for wadefishermen
along the south shoreline using soft plastics. On Monday through
Friday the locks are staying closed during the day so they can do
some work on them. They won't open them from 7:30 a.m. till 5:00
p.m. (I may be a little off on the hours, though).
Check out the new pictures on the main page!
Monday 08/19/02
East Matagorda Bay was the ticket today. The south shoreline
produced trout and reds for wadefishermen using soft plastics.
Sunday 08/18/02
East Matagorda Bay produced some trout and reds along the
south shoreline on artificials. In West Matagorda Bay, the south
shoreline produced mostly small-sized trout and reds and a few "keepers".
Those who went offshore caught some red snapper but didn't stay
out long because it got rough. At the end of the Matagorda jetties,
redfish were caught on live/dead bait.
Saturday 08/17/02
No report from West Matagorda Bay, the surf or the jetties.
However, offshore had a good day today with plentiful catches of
red snapper and ling. The south shoreline of East Matagorda Bay
produced nice stringers of trout for wadefishermen. Oyster Lake
was a good producer today, too - nice stringers of trout were caught
on live shrimp under a popping cork. There was a report of a 27
inch speckled trout being caught there.
Friday 08/16/02
There were catches of trout over in East Matagorda Bay
along the south shoreline using live shrimp under a popping cork
and artificial lures.
Thursday 08/15/02
Bad weather today - no fishing report.
Work the tides
and the current.
The worst situation to have is a wind directly in-line
or directly against the tide if you are drift fishing.
Working with the wind will move you too fast and make it
difficult to hold the bottom. Drifting against the wind will slow
the boat so much that you will not cover ground.
When this situation occurs, consider moving to an area
where the wind will be at angles to the current.

Lemon Meringue Cake
Air Date: 4/10/2008
12 to 15 squares
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 package (18-1/4 ounces) lemon cake mix, batter prepared according to the package directions
4 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
Preheat the oven to 350?F. Coat a 9" x 13" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Stir the lemon peel into the cake batter then pour batter into the baking dish.
In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the sugar until stiff peaks form. Spoon the mixture over the cake batter, carefully spreading to completely cover the batter. Form lots of peaks and valleys with a spatula to create a tempting-looking meringue.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the meringue is golden and a wooden toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool completely then cut into squares and serve.
OPTION: This can also be made as two 9-inch round cakes. Just pour the batter into two cake pans then spread the top of each with the egg-white mixture.

Nebraska football is prying another recruit out of Texas. Three-star safety Josh Kalu of Alief Taylor High School announced via Twitter Monday that he is committing to the Huskers' incoming class of 2014. Kalu visited campus last month. He tells the "World Herald" that he loved everything about it, from the atmosphere to the coaches.
The Nebraska football team has a bye this coming weekend. The 21st-ranked Huskers will return to action a week from Saturday on the road at Minnesota. Nebraska is off to a 2-and-0 start in Big Ten play with wins over Illinois and Purdue. The Huskers are 5-and-1 overall. The 4-and-2 Golden Gophers play at Northwestern Saturday.
