Your New Summer Favorite: Watermelon, Tomato, and Feta Salad
By Janis Jibrin, RD, Best Life lead nutritionist
Visiting Washington, D.C.? If so, you'll inevitably wind up in the quaint neighborhood of Georgetown, which is also a bustling shopping mecca. My favorite place to have a bite is Kafe Leopold, a hidden oasis removed from the noise and crowds. The cuisine is loosely Austrian, and it happens to have some of the best salads in D.C. (Although, if you're in a more decadent mood, the sausage, sauerkraut and spicy mustard is wonderful, as are the pastries).
I'd always loved Leopold's Watermelon, Tomato, and Feta salad, but it just got even better—and more striking—after brand new executive chef Marcellus Coleman got ahold of it. He let me into the restaurant's kitchen so I could watch him prepare the salad.
What to do with the rest of your watermelon? Turn in into yet another salad!

CityBeat first wrote about the Springboro Tea Party last month, detailing the agenda for a rally planned Saturday that's heavy with speakers from the John Birch Society and movies about far-right conspiracy theories.
Now the Tea Party leader organizing the event, Brian "Sonny" Thomas, is under fire for racist and vulgar comments he posted on Twitter, which has prompted several politicians to cancel their appearances at the rally.
Today's issue of The Whistleblower – a gossipy Web-based newsletter – published the home address of U.S. Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-Price Hill), who voted in favor of the recent health care reform bill. The newsletter suggests opponents stage a protest at his house on Sunday.
Now that the U.S. House of Representatives approved a health care reform bill by a 219-212 vote and the Senate appears likely to follow suit, the political wagons are circling in what's sure to be some nasty congressional races this fall.
Republicans, however, shouldn't expect to cruise to victory, and here's why.
The Republican Party likes to say it embraces the Tea Party movement, except when it's preparing to possibly have followers arrested.
With Teabaggers angry over state GOP leaders convincing Dave Yost to run for the party's nomination for Ohio Auditor against the more conservative Seth Morgan, Republicans in Yost's home county are preparing for trouble when the central committee meets next week.
Although it was overshadowed by the recent national Tea Party convention in Nashville, another conservative group recently held a rally that featured several Greater Cincinnati notables in attendance.
Americans for Prosperity's Ohio chapter held an "Already Taxed to the Max" rally Jan. 30 at Capitol Square in Columbus. Among those attending the event were former Hamilton County Commissioner Phil Heimlich; his wife, Rebecca; former Congressman Rob Portman from Terrace Park, who's running for the U.S. Senate; and members of the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes.
For the past year, we've written occasionally about how many in the Tea Party movement are inspired by racism, fear and hate. When we have, we've gotten angry e-mails and blog comments telling us that just isn't so. Like clockwork, Teabaggers then go and say something to prove our point.
Well, they have again. And this time it's a doozie.
An organizer of Greater Cincinnati's Tea Party movement is telling its members the Ohio Republican Party chairman is trying to manipulate potential candidates in the race for Ohio auditor to pit two Teabggers against each other and split the vote, clearing the path for the chairman's cousin to be the GOP's nominee in the race for another office.

Birth Place: Detroit, Michigan, USA
Born Robert John Wagner Jr. on Feb. 10, 1930 in Detroit, MI, Wagner's father was a steel industry executive, leaving the family to relocate to Los Angeles when he was in grade school. He was expected to follow in his father's footsteps, but after a turn in drag (as Priscilla Alden) in a high school production of "The Courtship of Miles Standish," Wagner began to think about acting as his profession. A job at the Bel-Air Country Club, where he caddied to such stars as Clark Gable, gave him further inspiration, so he announced to his father than he intended to become an actor. Robert Wagner Sr. gave his son an ultimatum: he would have one year to find success in Hollywood or quit and get into ... Continue Bio >>

Brilliant redrobes. Of course I'm not finished , as I am working alot this weekend. (memorial day weekend is hell for the food service industry.) I still have alot to do on this map. And I've considered maybe taking the slot to the right of it.
Hooray to the new tile!
Let's rock on.
And it looks sweet, too - tho' it's clearly unfinished, but you have something to show (at least)...
Two in harmony surpass one in perfection
Yes Please Perfect. Looks great and well done for getting onto the score sheet in terms of areas. I cant remember if this is the only ony you're doing. If it is I think there are two more that nobody has taken yet. I think I should get re-marketing those. A whole new set of rookies has marched through the doors of late.
Great work on the map. Really good look.

Hey guys.
Its been a few weeks. I am having trouble with my lands..Namely all the ideas I had are disagreeable with the surrounding lands. I think my tile will be a remnant of some ancient kingdom possibly inhabited by the spirits of the people (or creatures ) of said kingdom. The cities are ruinous, chock full o' treasure and magic items, problem is , whats preventing people from moving in and taking over. My first thought would be the spirits (just throwing around names , Songheneti,Serengi,Sorenos) , ghosts I guess would be a more accurate term and easily applied to say.. Dungeons and Dragons.
So we have the Songheneti spirits stuck there..in the cities. guarding treasures and such. Now I need a cataclysm that caused all of this. My creativity wains...Help!
How about a peculiar racial reaction to the plague causing rapid spread with universal infection combined with very high mortality (think on that spreads like the common cold with an AIDS-like disease progression but faster decline after the symptom-free state). Death happened too quickly and/or in a manner that many of the spirits become sundered and stuck in the world?
All it would take is a 6-month incubation/infectious period followed by rapid symptoms and death. By the time anyone noticed that they were sick they'd be dead and the whole population would likely by infected by that time. All the people gone with just spirits left to terminate any newcomers. And best of all, no real chance of new plague outbreaks with adventurers because everyone who was symptomatic is dead now.

Tough to Hear
When I presented the annual NRMCA Industry Data Survey results at the ConcreteWorks Conference in San Diego in the fall, one producer quipped that he feared several attendees appeared ready to jump out of windows. Fortunately, the threat was hollow, as we were on the first floor of the conference center.
I understand the feeling, because once again, the economic news for the industry is tough to hear.
In last year's article on the survey, I wrote, "Against the cruel reality of a market in contraction and an industry witnessing a transformation that represents the 'new normal,' this may be the most compelling time to review the latest results. The stark reality is the industry's financial performance hasn't been this challenging in decades." Nothing has changed for the better in the most recent results.
Results presented here are for the prior calendar year. So in this instance, the 2011 survey is reporting financial results for calendar year 2010.
Volume trough
Once again, many of our predictions from a year ago proved true when we saw the survey results, as we thought losses would increase as selling prices would come down, and volumes would remain fiat at less than 260 million cubic yards. This marks the third consecutive year of the volume trough, and we think we'll add a fourth year to that run in 2011 when we report those numbers next year.
Add to that a contraction in selling price of $5.63 per cubic yard for the Typical Producer (defined as the average of all producer respondents, not accounting for size or geography), and that means the industry reported the single biggest loss in its history.
Here are some of the key data:
When non-cash charges are eliminated and we look only at EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), the industry came very close to cash flow break-even, losing $0.34 per cubic yard, or about $87.6 million in total.
The other big story this year is the health of the Upper Quartile. They are solidly profitable, particularly in contrast to the Lowest Quartile:
Other key results show Typical Producers' annual yards, yards per-plant, and yards-per-truck are remarkably flat compared to 2009:
Just as in 2009, the rest of the key data reflect the impact that lower volumes have on profitability, despite efforts by producers to cut costs, and the further impact of an eroding top line. Unfortunately, while volumes may be flat year-over-year in 2011, we project that top-line selling prices could easily contract another few dollars to several dollars per yard when we report the 2011 results in the fall.
Against the toughest economic backdrop in memory, I continue to promote the Industry Data Survey as the most important tool any concrete producer can utilize to benchmark the performance of his company against industry peers.

Greensboro, NC -- Police need help tracking down the person who fired shots in a Greensboro neighborhood, sending one man to the hospital Saturday morning.
When officers responded to Circle Drive at 1:05 a.m., they found a man who'd been shot in his leg earlier in the morning.
The victim told police he was standing outside of a home on Homeland Avenue, talking to friends when he heard gun shots. The man ran from the scene before realizing he'd been shot, police say.
No one at the scene could give police any suspect information.
EMS took the victim to a local hospital where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Police ask that anyone with information on this shooting call Crime Stoppers at 336-373-1000.

Some employees of Anderson Regional Medical Center went above the call of duty for a good cause.
Several men dressed to the nines for a Womanless Beauty Pageant. Each participant worked the crowd for donations for The United Way of East Mississippi.
Anderson is working to reach a record-setting goal.
"The United Way has several agencies in our community that support those that have great needs and it's a charitable cause," said Anderson CEO Ray Humphreys. "And this hospital is committed to serving that purpose in many ways."
Humphreys said the Womanless Beauty Pageant was expected to put Anderson at the $100,000 mark for its annual contribution to The United Way. He says that would set a record.

Ever since the November launch of Kinect for Xbox 360, enthusiasts and academic researchers alike have expressed their excitement and intense interest in the possibilities created by the product's ability to enable users to bring games and entertainment to life without using a controller.
Kinect for Xbox 360 and the potential seen within its core technology have captured the imaginations of the academic research and enthusiast communities. To encourage and support that creativity, on Feb. 21, Craig Mundie, Microsoft's chief research and strategy officer, and Don Mattrick, president of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business, announced that the company plans to release a non-commercial Kinect for Windows software development kit (SDK) from Microsoft Research this spring.
"Microsoft's investments in natural user interfaces are vital to our long-term vision of creating computers that are intuitive to use and able to do far more for us," said Mundie. "The fruits of these research investments are manifesting across many of our products, Kinect for Xbox 360 among them."
While Microsoft plans to release a commercial version at a later date, this SDK will be a starter kit to make it simpler for the academic research and enthusiast communities to create rich natural user interfaces using Kinect technology. The SDK will give users access to deep Kinect system information such as audio, system application-programming interfaces, and direct control of the Kinect sensor.
This release will leverage Microsoft Research's deep connections to academia worldwide and its long history of releasing software tools to the research community to foster creativity, experimentation, and new research directions.
Microsoft continues to make deep investments in natural user interfaces, and that work is appearing in a wide variety of Microsoft products, such as:
"As breakthrough technologies like these reach scale," said Mundie, "the resulting creativity and invention will open up a whole new world of possibilities for computing."

Rated 5 out of 5Â by tansy This was a fun gift. Purchased rain bonnets for a friend in northern maine. They were not the usual rain hat. She is still showing them to her friends. I sent her the web site. Maybe more sales for the store. June 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by I have no nickname. I love them! I had looked everywhere for something like this, but they seemed to have disappeared. I used to have one in every coat pocket, so was very pleased to find them in your catalogue. January 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Judy H. Extra Rain Bonnets Located !!!! Mom was babying her last rain bonnet. It was fraying at the edges, had a few small holes and slowly falling apart. She couldn't find any that were large enough for her hairstyle yet small enough to carry in her purse. We finally found some at your wonderful store. The VT Country Store is worth a trip no matter where you are in the northeast. And the catalog is just as valuable as the in store experience. May you never put the "bottom dollar" above the customer and finding those items we need but have a difficult time locating. December 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Verified Reviewer Perfect bonnet a stormy day I could not find a rain bonnet in any of the stores where I live which is a small town north of S.F. I thought of the Vermon Country Store....looked in the catalogue and there they were. They are just what I was looking for. They arrived in no time at all and now I am able to stay dry when out and about on stormy days. December 23, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Anne Better than the one I lost In the rush to get his 86 year old mother into a restaurant on a rainy night, my husband lost her favorite "rain bonnet". She was very upset with him and let everyone in the restaurant know that his rushing caused her to drop her rain bonnet. When we got home, he searched on line and found the Vermont Country Store "deluxe" rain bonnet and ordered a set of 2 to be delivered to his mother. She called when they came in, thanked him and said "these are better than the one I lost"! November 6, 2012

The stakes are high for Congress to yet again come to a deal. Without a budget agreement by March 1st, $1.2 trillion in automatic federal spending cuts will begin and that could mean furloughs for tens of thousands of government workers. But the area economy has already suffered from this high political drama.
You may not have seen it in your paycheck or felt it in your bank account, but for the first time in recent memory, area salaries actually dropped in 2012.
Leading local economy-watcher, Dr. Stephen Fuller of George Mason says "the federal payroll went down for the first time since the middle 90s." He explains that good jobs have been going away, down 8,000 so far from the peak in mid-2010.
Long considered one of the best economies in the country, Fuller says "the Washington area is still fat, but we are at risk of losing our edge." As highly-paid federal workers retire, they are being replaced by workers with lower salaries. That transition could change the region's spending habits. "We won't be able to support so many white tablecloth restaurants or high end housing if this continues." Fuller believes we are experiencing an economic sea change that could continue over this decade. An estimated 22,000 federal jobs are expected to be lost in the region by 2017.
Even if the government stops the budget cuts, the local economy could be in for a rougher ride this year since we're taking home smaller paychecks. You can blame the hike in the payroll tax, which takes 2 percent more out of worker paychecks. "it took more than $4 billion out of the local economy," says Fuller, explaining "that's a percentage point" of our local economy's growth.

The only team standing between the Seahawks and the Super Bowl now is the one they loathe, the one they're most like, their nemesis and their twin.
The San Francisco 49ers. It had to be the 49ers. The two teams spent all season stalking each other like boxers dancing around the ring, and though they sparred twice earlier this year, it's finally time for them to meet in the middle and truly unload on each other for the right to be called the NFC champion.
Rivalries in sports can only live on hatred and regular-season stakes for so long. At some point, the teams are bound to reach greatness at the same time, and then the venom spews onto a grander stage.
On Sunday, in the NFC Championship Game, the stakes will be as high as they can get for these teams — a Super Bowl appearance.

Most Read Stories
The Seahawks have anticipated this matchup for more than a month, dating to their 19-17 loss at San Francisco on Dec. 8.
"We will see them again, and it will be a different result," All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman predicted last month.
Said All-Pro safety Earl Thomas that day: "I'm not a psychic or anything like that. If we do, it's going to be a good game, and I guarantee we'll come out on top."
It seemed the Seahawks made those bold proclamations more out of disgust over losing to the 49ers than pure arrogance. They would've said anything to suppress the aftertaste of such a bitter disappointment.
The Seahawks had beaten the 49ers by a combined score of 71-16 the previous two times they had met, both at CenturyLink Field. At the end of the 2012 season, the Seahawks signaled their arrival as a contender with a 42-13 victory.
In Week 2 of this season, in a game hyped as one of the biggest regular-season games in Seattle sports history, the Seahawks won 29-3 amid a lightning storm and announced to a "Sunday Night Football" national audience that they were worthy of Super Bowl contender status.
San Francisco shrugged in response. The 49ers made it to the Super Bowl a year ago and came one play shy of winning the thing. The year before, they lost in the NFC Championship Game. Despite the early blowout loss, they knew they would be fine over the course of the long season.
The Seahawks went on to take the NFC West crown from San Francisco. But despite the daunting task of playing on the road for the entire playoffs, the 49ers made it here, to their third straight NFC title game.
The 49ers' edge in experience is one of the few things that distinguishes them from the Seahawks. If these teams were any more alike, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh would have to take a DNA test to determine if they're related.
And that would be quite the twist, because the coaches' mutual dislike is well-documented, going back to their college-coaching days in the Pac-10.
Beneath the disdain, though, are several shared philosophies. In a league that grows more obsessed with passing and scoring, Carroll and Harbaugh have created throwbacks. The Seahawks and 49ers attempted the fewest passes in the NFL this season and called the highest percentage of running plays. They both believe in a power running game; the Seahawks have Marshawn Lynch, and the 49ers rely on Frank Gore.
Both teams play rugged defense. Both teams are so physical that they're capable of bullying victories. And both teams are led by young, mobile quarterbacks who don't have to throw for 300 yards to strike fear into opponents.
Russell Wilson doesn't have a touchdown celebration, though. He'll let Colin Kaepernick, who kisses his bicep (known as Kaepernicking) after he scores, own that category.
But as much as Seahawks fans despise Kaepernick's swagger and narcissism, they also cheer for a team whose defense dances during breaks and whose star cornerback, Sherman, is known for his mouth and brash behavior.
The Seahawks and 49ers would love each other if they could ever stand being on the same field.
It's a rivalry that has been building since the Seahawks switched from the AFC to NFC in 2002. Soon after the relocation, Seattle established its most consistent run of success in franchise history. On the other hand, San Francisco, which had won five Super Bowls from 1982-1995, struggled.
The NFC West had once been about the 49ers' supremacy. But the division's other teams — Seattle, Arizona and St. Louis — all made Super Bowl appearances as the 49ers crumbled. When Harbaugh arrived before the 2011 season, San Francisco hadn't been to the playoffs since 2002.
The change of the divisional dynamic enabled the 49ers to have peers, not doormats. Jealousies developed. Rivalries ensued. Today, it doesn't get more heated than Seattle vs. San Francisco, two similar cities featuring teams that have redefined the customary, free-flowing West Coast football by employing a bruising style.
Neither the Seahawks nor the 49ers would be the same without the other. Like all good rivals, they belong together. They have created the best thing the NFL has on this side of Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning. But let's not get all mushy about it.
Sunday will be cover-your-eyes intense. It's time to settle which team is really better.
The Super Bowl might be a letdown after this one.

Hi all, I'm trying to configure a layout with 2 mbox servers, 2 ldap, and 2 mta servers. All of them reside behind a L4 infrastructure.
Q1) does it make sense to put the proxy servers on the mbox machines or on the MTA's?
Q2) is there anything short of an internal DNS server that can fix the postfix DNS issues, and if I need to put one up, what configuration do I need to have for each host. From the outside world I want everything to point to one VIP, but from the inside which machines need to be MX's? I assume the MTA's but do all of them need to MX'ed to themselves?
Q3) So far I can get all the machines to talk to eachother except for the mail issue (see Q2) and the fact that zmprov fails on the mta machines. For some reason running zmprov on the MTA results in:
ERROR: zclient.IO_ERROR (invoke Connection refused, server: localhost) (cause: java.net.ConnectException Connection refused)
What can be the cause of this?
Q4) During the installations the mbox machines ask for a MTA to use, and the MTA machines ask for a mbox to use for authentication. Can this be a one to many setting which allows the mbox machines to use all the mta's and the mta's to use all the mbox's to avoid secondary issues if a machine goes down?
Q5) How do you solve the http->https redirect issue using the proxy? The proxy can't handle the mixed or redirect modes, but what I would like is to be able to mimic the redirect mode.
Thank you.

Efforts are ongoing to identify alternatives to packed bed chromatography to reduce the time and cost of processing high-titer product streams. Although many efforts focus on membrane adsorbers that directly replace columns of the same or similar chemistries, some older technologies are beginning to gain ground in recombinant protein manufacturing. One attractive alternative to chromatography is precipitation, which has been used in the plasma protein industry for many years.1 A simple method of precipitation involves titrating the process fluid to the isoelectric point of the protein that is to be precipitated.2 Lyotropic salts, such as ammonium sulfate, also have a long history of use in precipitation processes.3 Short-chain fatty acids, such as caprylic acid, are well known for their ability to precipitate DNA and host cell proteins (HCPs).4 Polyionic species also are useful precipitants for capturing a product of interest or removing contaminating proteins.5,6Polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been used for product and impurity precipitation.7,8 It also can be combined with isoelectric precipitation to improve the efficiency of the separation.9,10 After precipitation, centrifugation or filtration can be used to perform solid–liquid separation.11 Although centrifugation is a well-established method to achieve this separation, washing the product pellet to remove impurities could be problematic, and it is not suited to a single-use process. Filtration—normal- or tangential-flow—requires more development, but washing the pellet is simpler, and it is readily adaptable to a single-use process.
In the present work, a product precipitation step was developed using PEG to recover a monoclonal antibody (MAb) from clarified PER.C6 cell culture media. Appropriate precipitation conditions were identified through the use of full factorial experimental designs. Two filtration steps were evaluated for the capture and washing of the precipitated product, and the superior method was scaled-up 10-fold. The total precipitation process resulted in yields of approximately 90% and HCP reduction of 1 LRV with no significant increase in the aggregate level of the redissolved MAb. Finally, the impact of the precipitation step on the subsequent cation exchange (CEX) capture step was investigated.
Materials and Methods Reagents
USP grade salts, Tween 20, hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, and sodium hydroxide were purchased from JT Baker (Phillipsburg, NJ). PEG was of reagent grade and purchased from JT Baker or EMD Chemicals (Gibbstown, NJ). All buffers were prepared using MilliQ-grade water (Millipore, Billerica, MA) and were filtered by 0.22-µm filtration before use.
A human MAb (IgG1, pI = 8.3, 150 kDa) was produced at Percivia, LLC using a PER.C6 cell line. PER.C6 cells are human embryonic retinal cells immortalized by the adenovirus E1 gene, as described in US patent 5,994,128.12 The cells were cultured in a standard fed-batch process or the XD process, both using chemically defined media.13,14 The fed-batch media were clarified by sedimentation and depth filtration, and the XD media were clarified by the enhanced cell settling (ECS) method followed by depth filtration.15 During ECS, Silica-PEI resin was used to enhance cell settling and also reduce DNA and HCP.
Precipitation Condition Optimization
The conditions used to precipitate the MAb—PEG molecular weight, PEG concentration, and pH—were optimized by full factorial experimental designs using Minitab software (State College, PA). The pH of the clarified XD media was adjusted to the desired level with 2-M Tris in a 15-mL conical tube. The PEG was added as a 40% (w/w) stock solution to the desired final concentration. The tube was then centrifuged at 1,000g and the supernatant decanted. Finally, the pellet was redissolved in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS).
Pellet Capture by Depth Filtration or Microfiltration
Depth filtration was performed with various grades of filter media. Millistak+HC D0HC, C0HC, and X0HC were purchased from Millipore Corp. (Billerica, MA), and ZetaPlus 60SP02A was purchased from Cuno (Meriden, CT). Precipitation was carried out using a 40% (w/w) stock solution of PEG-3350 and the precipitated media was loaded at a feed flux of 50 L/m2 /h until all of the material was loaded or the transmembrane pressure (TMP) was 15 psid. The filters were then washed with 20–30 L/m2 of 20 mM Tris pH 8.5 + 14.4% (w/w) PEG-3350. After washing, 80 L/m2 of resolubilization buffer was passed through the filters at 100 L/m2 /h, and the permeate was recirculated through the device at 600 L/m2 /h until the A280 of the permeate pool was stable indicating complete MAb dissolution. Finally, any held-up product was recovered with a 20 L/m2 buffer flush and air blowdown of the filter module. In some tests, the filter media was subsequently washed with 85-mM acetate pH 5.3 followed by 1-M NaCl. Pressure and flow data were collected using a custom engineered system from ARC Technology Services (Nashua, NH).
Microfiltration was performed with a 0.22-µm hollow fiber membrane from GE Healthcare Life Sciences (Piscataway, NJ). The PEG-3350 was added as a 40% (w/w) stock solution for the small-scale experiment and in powder form for the scale-up work. The feed flux was 710 L/m2 /h and the retentate and permeate were unrestricted. The precipitate was first concentrated 10- to 14-fold and then washed with three diafiltration volumes of 20 mM Tris pH 8.5 plus 14.4% (w/w) PEG-3350. Finally, the precipitate was redissolved in 85 mM sodium acetate pH 5.3 or 20 mM Tris plus 50 mM NaCl pH 7.5. Pressure, flow, and conductivity data were collected using a Slice 200 benchtop system (Sartorius, Gottingen, Germany) for small-scale testing and a SciPro system (SciLog, Middleton, WI) for the scale-up experiment.
Cation Exchange Chromatography
Toyopearl GigaCap S-650 was procured from Tosoh Bioscience (Montgomeryville, PA) in the Toyoscreen 5-mL format. This resin has been previously demonstrated as a high capacity capture step for MAbs.16 The column was equilibrated with 74-mM sodium acetate pH 5.3 and loaded to 90–95 mg-MAb/mL-resin using either clarified media or clarified and PEG-treated material, each adjusted to the same pH and conductivity as the equilibration buffer. The column was then washed with equilibration buffer and the antibody eluted with 50 mM sodium acetate pH 5.3 plus 90 mM NaCl.

This is a great tube for beginners, but is fun for anyone. My kids who have been a little scared of tubing, have fallen in love with this tube. I love to ride it too. We took it to a family reunion, and it was a hit with everyone, even the adults. The only con, is that it's a little hard on adult knees, so after awhile, I put my legs forward. Other than that, It's a ton of fun!

For example, you can get a doe tag in unit 73 then one in 25 another in 26 and then one in 29 If you wanted, some units you can get multiple tags for that one unit, but are allowed up to 4 doe tags for the state.

Resolving Crises in East Asia through a New System of Collective Security:
The Helsinki Process as a Model
Testimony by NED President Carl Gershman before the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
December 11, 2013
I want to thank you, Mr. Chairman, and the Helsinki Commission, for organizing this hearing at a critical moment in US relations with Northeast Asia.
It was almost eight years ago to the day that I and several others active on the issue of human rights in North Korea joined with policy and Korean-affairs specialists to form a working group to consider how a comprehensive framework involving international security, economic cooperation, human rights and humanitarian aid could be developed for the Korean Peninsula and, more broadly, for Northeast Asia.
Our decision to form this group followed the agreement reached in the Six-party Talks to explore ways of promoting a common political, economic and security agenda linking the two Koreas with China, Russia, Japan and the United States. This opened the door to creating a permanent multilateral organization for advancing security and cooperation in Northeast Asia, one of the few regions of the world without such a mechanism.
Ambassador James Goodby of the working group, who had played a key role in developing the "basket three" human- rights provisions that became part of the Helsinki Final Act, drafted the first of several papers that spelled out how negotiations to resolve the North Korea nuclear issue and achieve a final settlement of the Korean War could evolve into a Helsinki-type process for Northeast Asia leading to the eventual creation of a multilateral -- and multidimensional – organization for collective security.
The effort to encourage such a process had the strong backing of Ban Ki-moon, at the time South Korea's Foreign Minister and now the U.N. Secretary General, who told a major gathering in Helsinki of Asian and European leaders that "The challenge for Northeast Asia is how to draw upon the European experience to build a mechanism for multilateral security cooperation."
Building such a mechanism was the focus of one of the five working groups of the Six-party Talks, but efforts to implement the idea were aborted when the talks broke down at the end of 2008. Since then, international relations in Northeast Asia have become much more confrontational. The region suffers from what South Korea's President Park Geun-hye has called "Asia's paradox," which is an acute discrepancy between the region's dynamic economic growth and interdependence on the one hand, and the rise of nationalism, conflict and distrust on the other. Clashes over disputed maritime space in the East China Sea, North Korea's nuclear threat and provocative brinkmanship, intensified military competition, and historically-rooted tensions, even between such ostensible allies as Japan and South Korea, have heightened anxiety over prospects for violent regional conflict.
The situation has just become even more dangerous with China's unilateral establishment of an Air Defense Identification Zone overlapping with Japan's own air-defense zone and encompassing South Korea's Ieodo reef as well. In the words of The Economist, "China has set up a casus belli with its neighbors and America for generations to come."
Ironically, whereas North Korea's nuclear program was the catalyst for the Six-party Talks and the possible creation of a system of collective security for Northeast Asia, it is now the grave deterioration of the security environment in the region that could act as such a catalyst. The crisis certainly dramatizes the critical need for such a system, though that is a long-term goal while the immediate need is for measures to reduce risk, enhance communication through military hotlines and other instruments that might prevent miscalculations, and to begin to develop military confidence-building measures similar to those negotiated in the CSCE framework.
Nonetheless, it is not too early to begin thinking about a more comprehensive architecture that would provide a forum for regional powers to discuss security. The Economist suggested that such a forum, had it existed in Europe in the early part of the last century, might have prevented the outbreak of World War I, and that there are disturbing parallels to the situation in Northeast Asia today, with the Senkakus playing the role of Sarajevo.
For such a forum to be sustainable and effective, a security dialogue would need to be buttressed by a broader program of exchanges and economic cooperation. It has been said that adding a "basket-three" human dimension would not work for Northeast Asia because the region's autocracies are well aware of the liberalizing consequences of the Helsinki process in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. But it is hard to imagine a system of collective security working without more interaction at the societal level, and having a broader context for negotiations would make possible trade-offs that might facilitate reaching an agreement. Northeast Asia may be different from the region encompassed by the Helsinki process, but the "Sakharov doctrine" regarding "the indivisibility of human rights and international security" has universal relevance and should not be abandoned, even if it has to be adapted to the circumstances of the region.
In addition to the incentive provided by the current crisis to explore a new system of collective security for Northeast Asia, I want to note two other factors that can be helpful. The first is the vigorous support given to the idea by President Park when she addressed a joint session of the Congress last May. Her statement has of course now been overshadowed by the momentum toward confrontation, and South Korea's declaration of an expanded air defense zone partially overlapping China's and including Ieodo only adds to this momentum. Still, South Korea's understandable response to China's over-reaching may help to establish the strategic balance needed to negotiate an end to the current crisis, and President Park's commitment to a system of collective security shows that she may want to use this crisis to make the case for a broader architecture.
Her capacity to provide leadership at this critical time should not be underestimated. She demonstrated both toughness and a readiness to negotiate when, after a period of heightened tension following North Korea's nuclear test explosion last April, South Korea reached an agreement with the North to re-open the Kaesong Industrial Zone. This experiment in economic cooperation shows the potential of President Park's "trustpolitik," though North Korea's cancellation of family reunions that were part of the Kaesong agreement also shows how difficult it will be to sustain any kind of engagement with Pyongyang. Still, her steadiness of purpose is encouraging, as is her desire, as she told the Congress last May, to extend the "Trust-building Process" she has started "beyond the Korean Peninsula to all of Northeast Asia where we must build a mechanism of peace and security." That goal would be significantly advanced if she would also apply her "trustpolitik" to Japan.
The other helpful factor is the potential role of Mongolia. In a recent paper contrasting the challenge of building a collective security system in Europe and Asia, the Japanese diplomat Takako Ueta wrote that Northeast Asia lacks "a neutral country with diplomatic skills and efficient conference support…comparable to…Austria, Finland, Sweden or Switzerland." But that is not true because Mongolia is such a country.
Last April, when Mongolia chaired the Seventh Ministerial Conference of the Community of Democracies, its President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj announced the Ulaanbaatar Dialogue on Northeast Asian Security, an initiative to provide "a dialogue mechanism on security in Northeast Asia" that will give "equal consideration of the interests of all states" and set "a long-term goal of building peace and stability in the region."
Mongolia has an unusual geopolitical situation. Sandwiched between China and Russia, it has maintained what President Elbegdorj called "neighborly good relations" with these two big powers as well as with the other nations in the region, which he calls "our third neighbor." It even maintains good relations with North Korea, which were not spoiled when he concluded a State Visit to the DPRK on October 30 with a speech at Kim Il Sung University in which he said "No tyranny lasts forever. It is the desire of the people to live free that is the eternal power." He also told his North Korean audience that twenty years earlier Mongolia had declared herself "a nuclear-free zone," and that it "prefers ensuring her security by political, diplomatic and economic means."
Mongolia's international position is rising. In addition to chairing the Community of Democracies, it has joined the OSCE and may soon become a member of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation organization (APEC). Last September, at the opening of the U.N. General Assembly in New York, President Elbegdorj was the only head of state invited to join President Obama in presiding over a forum of the Administration's Civil Society Initiative that seeks to defend civil society around the world against growing government restrictions.
Henry Kissinger, writing about Austria's Chancellor Bruno Kreisky, observed that "One of the asymmetries of history is the lack of correspondence between the abilities of some leaders and the power of their countries." President Elbegdorg is such an outsized leader of a small country, and the fact that he is now positioning Ulaanbaatar to play the kind of role in Northeast Asia that Helsinki once played in Europe could be an important factor leading to a system of collective security in Northeast Asia.
This region certainly has its own distinctive characteristics, and Helsinki does not offer a readily transferable "cookie-cutter" model for East Asia or any other region. But as Ambassador Goodby said in one of the papers he wrote for our working group, "so long as nation-states are the basic building blocks of the international system, the behavior of these units within that system is not like to be radically dissimilar. History suggests that autonomous behavior by powerful nations – behavior that ignores the interests of others – sooner or later leads to disaster. The corollary of this lesson is that some mechanism has to be found, be it implicit or explicit, to allow for policy accommodations and for self-imposed restraint within a system of nations. To fail to do so is to make a collision almost inevitable."
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

As the northernmost neighborhood on Manhattan Island, Inwood is a desirable location for those that yearn for the feeling of suburban living, but can't stand the thought of leaving Manhattan.
With the Harlem River to the north and east, the Hudson River to the west, and Marble Hill directly north, Inwood is bound by water on three sides. As a result, many residents praise the neighborhood's scenic and isolated feel, away from the rush of the city, but not too much so.learn more about this neighborhood

Rag and Bone is a very schmancy store than sells high end items that mainly look good on models and people who look like models, like leather hot pants and tuxedo jakets with leather lapels. You may have heard them mentioned by Fake Chloe Sevigny, or real Chloe Sevigny, for that matter. They've never shot an ad campaign before, instead preferring to sail by on their sparkling reputation in the fashion world, but all that changed with the opening of their first London store, when they enlisted Kate Moss to star in a campaign to promote and celebrate the occasion. As always, Kate is able to make absurd items of clothing look cool and sexy, but she also seems to be making the same face throughout. Perhaps she charges an additional rate per smile?

Comments about Educational Insights Phonics Firefly:
In order to begin, just press the "ON" button and then turn the large red dial to the mode of play you want. The further right you go on the dial, the more difficult the games and activities are. For instance, the very first option is for singing the alphabet song only while the letters light up in time with the tune. The next two modes deal with letter recognition, the two modes after that deal with letter sounds and then finally, the last two modes are the Word Explorer game.
In the Word Explorer game, early learners can make their own three-letter words. Phonics Firefly's word bank speaks nearly every common three-letter word (over 500) in the English language! Convenient features include built-in speaker with volume control and automatic shut-off so as to conserve battery power. If you are looking for the perfect toy to help your youngster become more alpha-savvy, then I highly recommend the Phonics Firefly from Educational Insights. This fun and portable educational tool will keep your child engaged and entertained whether at home or on the go!

Cook-Smart Precautions
You can use nonstick safely, as long as you use it properly. Any food that cooks quickly on low or medium heat and coats most of the pan's surface (which brings down the pan's temperature) is unlikely to cause problems; that includes foods like scrambled eggs, pancakes, or warmed-up leftovers. And many other kinds of cooking are safe as well: In GHRI's tests, the only food prep that yielded a nonstick pan temperature exceeding 600 degrees Fahrenheit in less than 10 minutes was steak in a lightweight pan. But to be cautious, keep these tips in mind.
- Never preheat an empty pan. In GHRI's tests, each of the three empty nonstick pans we heated on high reached temperatures above 500 degrees in less than five minutes — and the cheapest, most lightweight pan got there in less than two minutes. Even pans with oil in them can be problematic; our cheapest pan zoomed to more than 500 degrees in two and a half minutes.
- Don't cook on high heat. Most nonstick manufacturers, including DuPont, now advise consumers not to go above medium. (DuPont maintains, however, that Teflon does not pose any health risks, and that its guideline is simply meant to maximize the life of the product.)
Do people still cook on high, despite manufacturers' instructions? "There's no statistical answer to that question," says the FDA's Honigfort. But you know if you're doing it, and if you are, the consensus is clear: It would be safer if you stopped. (Since some people won't switch to medium, or will overheat accidentally if distracted, says Jane Houlihan, vice president for research at the Environmental Working Group, "we recommend that people simply phase out the use of nonstick pans.") To play it safe, set your knob to medium or low and don't place your nonstick cookware over so-called power burners (anything above 12,000 BTUs on a gas stove or 2,400 watts on an electric range); those burners, seen more often in recent years, are intended for tasks like boiling a large pot of water quickly.
- Ventilate your kitchen. When cooking, turn on the exhaust fan to help clear away any fumes.
- Don't broil or sear meats. Those techniques require temperatures above what nonstick can usually handle.
- Choose a heavier nonstick pan. Lightweight pans generally heat up fastest, so invest in heavier-weight cookware — it's worth the extra money.
- Avoid chipping or damaging the pan. We've all been told not to use metal utensils on nonstick pans. Newer products may be harder to chip, "because the adhesion between the pan and the nonstick coating is better," says Honigfort. Still, if pans do chip or flake, they may be more likely to release toxic compounds, says Kannan of the New York State Department of Health. To prevent scratching, use wooden spoons to stir food, avoid steel wool, and don't stack these pans. (If you do, put a paper towel liner between them.)

Good luck on the draws.
Good luck!! Hope you draw!!
Going to stay home here in Colo for muzzleloading elk. Will apply for PPt as I used all mine last season. Will be going for antelope.

I'm glad residents have a longer deadline. I can't decide between three areas.
Arise... Kill, Eat! - Acts 10:13
4 points so I went with unit 38 type 1 hunt. First hunt in Wyoming so looking forward to it. Will also put infor Antelope, got 4 points there as well, but hopefully I'll be able to hook up with a hunting partner that is also drawing but he has max points so I'll get into the special draw. If past years stays the norm for this year I should draw the unit we are looking at.
I have never been up to the Bighorns but I figure finding a place to camp won't be an issue. Hopefully I will fill them goat tags with plently of time to do a little scouting for elk. I would like to find somewhere to start where I can get off the raods and away from all the raod hunters. I figure like most places with plenty of road access where will be plenty of road hunters. No worries though again like most places get off the road a bit and let them road hunters drive the game to you, works pretty regular.
If I draw both my elk and antelope tags I'll be living in my 5th wheel in Wyoming from mid-September through the first week of November. I figure the wife will stay with me during the antelope hunt then go visit with friends when I head off to the Big Horns. I have yet to figure why she has put up with me all these years, she must be sicker than I am.
Good luck in the draws everyone. Wish I still had my wyo residency.
Elkoholic i'm with you. i can decide which area glad we got a little more time
Good luck to all! Just points for me again this year.
Good luck everyone! I will take points once again this year.
I have all my tags in for all species already and fingers are crossed! Good luck to all

Corn Harvest Underway In Plymouth Co.
(Boone) -- The calendar just flipped over to September, but since the drought has dried up their fields, many farmers have already started with this year's corn harvest, including here at Plymouth County. But is the corn ready for harvest? Iowa State University extension corn specialist, Roger Elmore says some of the corn is mature, but he says other
farmers may want to get a start on harvest due to poor stalk stands.
Listen to
A lot of comparisons have been made between this summer's drought and the drought that struck Iowa in 1988. Elmore says the trend line is a little better than in 1988.
Listen to
The Iowa State University corn specialist says Iowa is in better shape than the crops in Illinois and Indiana, where he says yields are projected to be far less than the Hawkeye state. Elmore says this drought year offers an opportunity to learn.
Listen to
Elmore says seed companies and university research alike, will focus on stalk quality as a result of this dry year.

Bodine Says NTB/Service Central/Valvoline Tundra Was in Shape to Contend before Crash Ended Night Early

Bodine Says NTB/Service Central/Valvoline Tundra Was in Shape to Contend before Crash Ended Night Early
Mooresville, NC (06-13-2011) – Friday's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway saw six-time winner Todd Bodine ease the No. 30 NTB/Service Central/Valvoline Tundra into position, just outside the top-five 40 laps into the 167-lap event. As if to show the fans what he's famous for – running up front at the Fort Worth 1.5-mile circuit – Bodine spent the early laps running in and around the top-ten and marching steadily toward the front. He and his crew were in a good position to contend for their seventh victory, according to Bodine.
"I think we would've been a contender that's the way we end up doing things at Germain Racing. By the end of the race, the No. 30 NTB/Service Central/Valvoline Tundra was going to be ready to go," said Bodine, who started eighth after ranking ninth and eighth in Thursday's two practice sessions.
Bodine said the No. 30 Tundra started a bit tight, but, the team made adjustments that were needed and he was very confident in his NTB/Service Central/Valvoline Toyota.
"We started off way too tight off the corners. We adjusted it and got it freed up and it was definitely better. Our NTB/Service Central/Valvoline Tundra still wasn't completely right but we were gaining on it," said Bodine.
The night took a downward turn in a sequence of events. Bodine spun out with Brian Ickler, causing little damage to either truck, but, putting Bodine back in traffic.
"I spun out with Brian Ickler and that got us in the back with the guys we didn't want to race with. I made a mistake and caused us to wreck and it hurts because I think we had a great chance at getting this NTB/Service Central/Valvoline Tundra into the winner's circle tonight," said Bodine who finished 31st on Friday.
The next race for Todd Bodine and the No. 30 team is at Kentucky Speedway on July 7th. There the team will unveil a new paint scheme; a black/gold/silver and white No. 30 Georgia Boot Tundra will take the to track and Bodine and the Germain Racing crew will work to defend last season's Kentucky race win. Watch the action live starting at 8:00 PM on SPEED, July 7th.

Office: 101 ten Hoor Hall
Every culture has its characteristic patterns of diversity and homogeneity, stability and change, continuity and conflict. American studies is the organized pursuit of knowledge about the national culture of the United States. The purpose of this effort is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the American people—their ideals and values as well as their patterns of behavior—over time. By the very nature of its subject, American studies is broadly interdisciplinary. It is based upon insights and methodologies of such liberal arts disciplines as literature and history, as well as the arts, anthropology, geography, and religious studies. American studies is also receptive to new perspectives and methods of inquiry (gender studies, media studies, comparative culture, etc.) that challenge older explanations. Ultimately, the goal of American studies is inclusive and synthetic; it is an unending inquiry. For Americans, the study of American culture also contributes to self-knowledge and self-understanding.
American studies students will acquire some knowledge of American institutional structures, collective and group behavior, creative expression, demographic composition, regional identity, and characteristic attitudes and values. Students may also focus their studies on a particular area of interest (the South, gender, popular culture, or artistic expression, for example). Graduates have pursued successful careers in the media, government service, business, and professions (law, journalism), as well as advanced academic work in American studies or in any of the contributing disciplines. The University of Alabama School of Law considers the four-year curriculum in American studies excellent preparation for the study of law. The department has prepared a memorandum titled "What Can You Do with an American Studies Major?" that is available upon request.
Requirements for the major. The major requires 30 hours, including AMS 150; AMS 151; AMS 203, AMS 204, or AMS 205; AMS 231; AMS 485; AMS 486; AMS 491 or AMS 492; and 9 elective hours in American studies, 3 of which must be at the 300 or 400 level. A minimum of 12 hours at the 300 or 400 level must be earned on this campus. In addition, majors must complete 6 hours of U.S. history (HY) and 6 hours of American literature (EN).
Requirements for the minor. The minor requires 21 hours, including AMS 150; AMS 151; AMS 203, AMS 204, or AMS 205; AMS 231; AMS 485 or AMS 486; and 6 hours of American studies electives, 3 of which must be at the 300 or 400 level. A minimum of 6 hours at the 300 or 400 level must be earned on this campus. In addition, American studies minors must complete 3 hours of U.S. history (HY) and 3 hours of American literature (EN).
|A Suggested Sequence of Courses for the American Studies Major
1A maximum of 6 hours in any one department
may be applied to the humanities, literature, and fine arts (HU, L, FA)
and history and social and behavioral sciences (HI, SB)
2Six hours in courses designated W must be taken in the junior or senior year. A minimum of 36 hours must be completed in 300- and 400-level courses, including 12 hours in the major and 6 hours in the minor on this campus.
3MATH course number is determined by placement. MATH 110 or higher is required.
Graduate programs. The Department of American Studies offers programs leading to the master of arts degree in American studies. Requirements for this degree are stated in the University of Alabama graduate catalog.

text: I hope I'm not opening a can of worms on this one, but I was at scheels buying some .300 win mag loads and the scheels salesman came over and was talking to me about what I was going to shoot with a .300. I just said, well, mule deer this fall hopefully. Do you have any 200 gr Noslers? And he looked at me and said a .300 is way too big for mule deer and that I should get a .270 if I don't have one. I said well that's what I'm using and went back to looking for ammo. I'm shooting 180 gr Winchesters. Anyway, is there really "limits"? It's just practical vs impractical I think. It'll kill it more dead. Any other opinions? Whether it agrees with mine or not?
