Workingmums.co.uk is taking part this week in Anywhere Working Week, a week to reconsider the way we work and take on the challenge of working a little more flexibly.
Anywhere Working is a consortium of organisations like Microsoft, Regus and Transport for London and is backed by the Department of Transport. It emphasises the benefits of flexible working, including health, environmental and business benefits.
It is asking individuals and businesses to try out mobile working - from homeworking to working in a cafe or a hub – this week and assess how much money and time it has saved them as a result and how much it has reduced their carbon footprint. The site has an Anywhere Working Savings Calculator. The site also includes a host of case studies which promote the business benefits of flexible working. And there will be more advice on implementing flexible working more strategically in the Next Steps section.
Members of the consortium will be promoting the week. For instance:
– Microsoft is offering a free trial of its Office 365 service
– Business in the Community, which between its member organisations represent one in four employees in the UK, will be promoting the week across its three websites, highlighting a number a case studies around flexible working
– Vodafone UK will be sharing tips and insights to help businesses find better ways of working
– Regus will be offering access to all its UK centres for those who register on the Anywhere Working portal, as well as providing complimentary three month Businessworld Gold cards
– TfL will continue to work closely with businesses to encourage and support flexible working during the London 2012 Games and beyond
– The Government will continue to look at the lessons learned from the 'Operation StepChange' week in early February, in order to inform its plans for the Olympic period and ensure it's maximising the legacy value of working more flexibly
– The WWF-UK will be providing content and case studies including 'did you know' facts and stats about the impact traveling for work has on the environment.
During the week, members and their staff will be given access to offers, including a week-long free gym membership at Nuffield Health, a free 3-month Regus Goldcard to access WiFi enabled flexible working desk space around the UK and a 30-day free trial of Office 365.
Anywhere Working has also launched a competition with the chance for people to win one of three 'Ultimate Anywhere Working Kits' in return for contributing their best flexible working tips – find out more here.

Denver Broncos news, rumors and injuries
Broncos | DeMarcus Ware's injury a concern
Thu, 26 May 2016 15:10:34 -0700
Denver Broncos DE DeMarcus Ware's (back) linger back issues are concerning to defensive coordinator Wade Phillips. "Sure, it's a concern because he was out several games last year," Phillips said.

Broncos | Denver QB competition open
Thu, 26 May 2016 12:43:06 -0700
Denver Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak said Tuesday, May 25, that competition is open at quarterback in organized team activities. However, QB Mark Sanchez's experience gives him the clear edge over QBs Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch despite not having started a season opener since 2012. Sanchez must perform in training camp to hold the other two young QBs off. If he wins the job, Sanchez must limit turnovers during the season to keep the job.
Fantasy Tip: Just like they did in their 2015 Super Bowl run, the Broncos are expected to lean on a strong defense and the run game to succeed. Sanchez is expected to start and take on a game-manager role, which limits his fantasy upside despite a strong receiving corps at his disposal. The fact that his leash will be short and that he's struggled with consistency since early in his career makes him a midrange fantasy backup, at best.

Broncos | Virgil Green had surgery
Tue, 24 May 2016 12:40:18 -0700
Denver Broncos TE Virgil Green (finger) had surgery on his finger and will miss most of organized team activities, according to head coach Gary Kubiak.
Fantasy Tip: Green is expected to receive more pass-catching opportunities this season, but he'll have to compete with Garrett Graham and Jeff Heuerman, too. None of the three should be considered a TE1.

Broncos | Trevor Siemian takes first-team reps
Tue, 24 May 2016 12:34:23 -0700
Denver Broncos QB Trevor Siemian started with the first-team offense for the first day of organized team activities. Head coach Gary Kubiak said the quarterback competition is open but praised all of the quarterbacks.
Fantasy Tip: Of course, Mark Sanchez isn't able to fully practice yet. He's likely the favorite to start, but either Paxton Lynch or Trevor Siemian could impress enough to win the job. Whoever starts won't be worth starting as a fantasy quarterback, though.

Broncos | Devontae Booker close to 100%
Tue, 24 May 2016 10:26:46 -0700
Denver Broncos RB Devontae Booker (knee) has been doing almost all of the drills the other running backs are doing in organized team activities, and it looks like he's close to 100% in his recovery from a knee injury in college.
Fantasy Tip: Booker, if healthy, could wind up being one of the bigger steals of the draft. He has the tools to be an every-down back in the NFL eventually. He'll start the 2016 season behind C.J. Anderson and Ronnie Hillman, but he could eventually force his way into considerable touches if those in front of him are injured or aren't producing. In deeper leagues he's worth an RB5 flier.

Broncos | Mark Sanchez participating in drills
Tue, 24 May 2016 10:23:46 -0700
Denver Broncos QB Mark Sanchez (thumb) is doing just about everything the other quarterbacks are doing in organized team activities Tuesday, May 24. Sanchez isn't taking snaps under center, however.
Fantasy Tip: Sanchez is slightly limited in OTAs, but the only thing that really matters is that he should be a full go for training camp this summer. He's in position to win the starting quarterback job unless Paxton Lynch really puts on a clinic and unexpectedly forces Denver's hand. Sanchez is more of a game manager and won't be asked to push the ball downfield too often, limiting his fantasy ceiling to that of a midrange backup.

Sat, 21 May 2016 23:53:00 -0700

Broncos | Paxton Lynch may sign soon
Sat, 21 May 2016 07:33:00 -0700
Denver Broncos QB Paxton Lynch has not signed his rookie contract at this point, but agent Leigh Steinberg said he plans to reach an agreement with the Broncos quickly.
Fantasy Tip: Lynch's contract should not be much of a factor this offseason, which will allow him to participate in all of the offseason workouts. Lynch may receive a chance to compete for the starting job during training camp but likely will be a backup in 2016. He probably will not have much value in standard leagues but can be selected in keeper leagues.

Broncos | Devontae Booker gunning for starting job
Fri, 20 May 2016 19:46:30 -0700
Denver Broncos RB Devontae Booker said he wants to become one of the best running backs in franchise history, and he plans to "take someone's job" this year.
Fantasy Tip: Booker has immediate upside as a third-down back and should have a big enough role in the offense to justify drafting him in the later rounds of drafts.

Broncos | Devontae Booker out for OTAs
Fri, 20 May 2016 18:18:16 -0700
Denver Broncos RB Devontae Booker (knee) will not participate in the first round of OTAs that begins Tuesday, May 24, as he continues to recover from a torn meniscus, but he is expected to be ready before the start of the season.
Fantasy Tip: Don't hesitate to scoop up Booker in the later rounds of drafts, especially in PPR formats. He should at least contribute as a third-down back as a rookie, and his ceiling only goes up from there.

Vestibular Neuritis
Vestibular Neuritis
Vestibular neuritis is an inflammation of the vestibular nerve, which is located in the inner ear and carries balance signals from the inner ear to the brain. When this nerve is inflamed, it causes vertigo, which is a feeling of motion when there is no actual movement.
Vestibular neuritis often follows a cold or upper respiratory infection, which suggests that it is caused by a virus. It may also be caused by conditions that affect the circulatory system (blood flow). Vestibular neuritis usually occurs in just one ear at a time.
Vertigo, the main symptom of vestibular neuritis, appears suddenly and is often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Vertigo usually lasts for several days or weeks. In a few cases, it can take months to go away entirely. Vestibular neuritis does not lead to loss of hearing.
The inflammation that causes vestibular neuritis usually goes away on its own. The usual treatment is to rest until vertigo symptoms go away. Severe symptoms of vertigo may be reduced with medicines, such as antihistamines or sedatives.

Man reports wet basement, attempted pipe theftAugust 05,2014Man says pipe
theft attempted
STAMFORD An apparent attempt to steal copper pipes last week left a homeowner with water in the basement, reported Trooper Elliott Justinger.
In a news release, Justinger said Richard LeScarbeau, 64, of Williamstown, Mass., recently reported what appeared to be an attempted burglary at his Stamford home on Clough Road.
LeScarbeau said he believed sometime between July 28 and Aug. 3, someone had entered the home through an unlocked window and attempted to steal the copper pipes. However, the first pipe that was cut was the main water line which caused water to begin flowing into the basement.
LeScarbeau said no other pipes were cut and nothing was stolen.

I have a passion for children of all ages. A passion to see them grow and become prosperous individuals. I have been working with children of all ages since high school. In high school, I was a Camp Counselor at a pony camp. I was in charge of the care of 20+ children, from helping them get dressed in the morning to reading them bedtime stories at night. After college, I continued to work with children. I teach 40+ children riding lessons at my current job. This job has given me the opportunity to learn the different learning styles of children and how to adapt my lesson plans to personally fit, each of them. I believe that a child's upbringing is very important to a healthy life and that using positivity is crucial to a successful mindset. I would love the opportunity to positively influence a child's life and to help a child grow to be an asset to the future.

OKC Barons: Griffins winning special teams battles
Grand Rapids scored a power-play goal and a short-handed goal in a 3-0 win over the Barons on Sunday afternoon in Game 5 of the American Hockey League Western Conference finals.
The Griffins were 2-of-2 on the power play in Game 4 on Saturday and followed with two special teams goals in Game 5 on Sunday.
In contrast, Oklahoma City was 0-of-6 on the power play in Game 5. The Barons are 1-of-21 in the series with the man advantage.
"Let's face it, that's something that's been hurting us," said Barons coach Todd Nelson. "It comes down to burying our chances. I feel we're getting good looks on the power play. We just have to finish."
Forward Anton Lander, assigned to Oklahoma City after the Edmonton Oilers season ended, made the trip to Grand Rapids. Sidelined the past three weeks after he suffered a knee injury in the second-round series against the Texas Stars, Lander might play Tuesday night. If he can go, Lander would rejoin the line of Teemu Hartikainen and Toni Rajala.
The Barons hadn't lost back-to-back games in regulation since mid-January, a span of 51 games. Grand Rapids ended the streak with wins in Game 4 and Game 5. ... Griffins' goalie Petr Mrazek has been the star of the series, but OKC goalie Yann Danis has played well (2.20 goals against average, .914 saves percentage). ... The Barons and Griffins shared a chartered flight back to Grand Rapids after Sunday's game. ... The Barons are 12-0 when Jonathan Cheechoo scores a goal, 20-3-0 when he scores a point.

Reckonings and Adjustments: Foreign Relations (1921-1928
ON JANUARY 16, 1920, the Allied blockade of Russia was officially terminated by the Supreme War Council, but normal diplomatic relations did not return so easily. The other nations were cautious about approaching the revolutionary inferno, and the fear of the 'enigma' was still too great for any advance toward rapprochement. What aided the Soviet govern. ment was the total absence of agreement among the European nations as to what policy to adopt next toward Russia. The result was that each nation eventually chose what it considered most expedient for its own narrow national interests. The United States detached herself from 'European entanglements' and chose to remain diplomatically aloof from Soviet Russia; Washington feared that even the Atlantic was not wide enough to check the scourge of Bolshevism. Britain was too deeply preoccupied with postwar national and imperial problems; France was busily trying to heal the wounds inflicted by the recent war; the smaller nations watched the others with trepidation and tried to solve the Eastern riddle to the best of their ability. There were still many statesmen, to say nothing of ordinary laymen, totally bewildered by the postwar spectacle, who considered the Soviet government a temporary phenomenon which time itself would remove from the scene. NEP was regarded as the first sign of Communist bankruptcy in the economic realm, and a similar acknowledgment in politics was expected. In some capitalistic circles the NEP amenability was received as an encouraging omen that promised joint economic exploitation of Russian resources; these now hopefully waited for Moscow to be ready to talk more 'realistically'.
There were serious difficulties in the path of a rapprochement between the Western Powers and Russia. Foreign Commissar Chicherin made every effort to assure the outside world that in order to achieve an understanding it was not necessary to have Russia base her economy on capitalism; differences of political and social structure should not preclude friendly relations. But the West remained unconvinced and fearful of a country that harbored the Third International. No less difficult an impediment was the Soviet foreign-trade monopoly, a novelty to which

HDV and DV video tape myths
Underwater video moderator Drew Wong has some things to say about the statements, below. If you believe any of them, you should continue reading!
- Blacking/striping a video tape gives continuous timecode and is essential for any shoot.
- Mixing different brand video tapes with different lubricants is bad for your video head.
- Reusing tape is a bad idea and you should buy new tape everytime.
Canon 40D and 1Ds Mark III specs leaked
Amazon.com has unwittingly leaked specs for the Canon 40D and 1DsMkIII by putting test pages up at their online store. When will online retailers learn that you cannot fight the distributed power of fanboys around the world? The 40D (10.1 megapixels, 6.5 fps, 17 frame RAW buffer) was listed as shipping on September 20 at $1,299.99, and the 1Ds Mark III (21.1 megapixels, 5 fps, 15 frame RAW buffer) as shipping on December 10, priced at $7,999.99. Since the 1Ds Mk III should use the same body as the already-available 1D Mk III, housings should hopefully be ready by the time it ships. Rumor has it that the new Canon cameras will be announced on Monday.
Amazon has since taken down the offending pages, but luckily, a few sights have cached the data: [40D @ Gizmodo] [1DsMkIII @ Engadget].
It's public now. See DPReview for more.

Review of X-View camera head for CSI X-Scooter
Wetpixel member James Flenner (fdog) received a pre-production version of the new X-View integrated camera head for the CSI X-Scooter, and has posted a review in the forums. While James used a Canon Elura 100 for underwater filming, the housing add-on accepts most smaller camcorders with A/V-in, including the Sony DCR-H96. He writes:
It is rather exciting to have tons of movement available at the touch of the trigger finger…this has me doing almost every dive with the X-View now, as it's so easy to get video, and you never know when that shot of a lifetime will show up.
Continue to the discussion for James' full review, which includes photos of assembly, the unit in use, and power consumption comparisons…

Residents distressed over Cane Grove road
Residents of Cane Grove, Mahaica say they are fed up with the deplorable condition of the road and are calling on the government to fix it urgently.
Drivers complained that the road which is deteriorating rapidly is causing serious damage to their vehicles and puts them in a lot of extra expense.
According to them, the road is a major setback for development in the area and that a trip to the main road that would usually take 10 minutes is now taking half hour.

As the United States lumbers toward a new credit card technology to thwart data thieves like the ones who struck Target Corp., payment security experts say the new system is far from foolproof.
The chip-based smart cards, already in use in much of the world, make it much harder to produce counterfeit cards. But the cards are less effective against the widespread and growing threat of bogus online transactions that require only account information.
EMV, as the technology is known, changes the game but won't prevent all fraud.
"It's not a panacea," said Paul Tomasofsky, an electronic payments expert who heads Two Sparrows Consulting in Montvale, N.J.
EMV, for Europay/MasterCard/Visa, is a fairly old approach rooted in experiments to deter fraud with microprocessor chips embedded in payment cards in France in the 1980s. It has become a global standard.
But because of the sheer size of the fragmented U.S. payments system, and the huge cost to convert, the United States is one of the last countries in the world to make the change.
There's general agreement that EMV alone would not have prevented the Target breach, in which thieves accessed data from as many as 110 million customer accounts. But EMV would have reduced the value of the information by making it almost impossible to clone the cards.
That's EMV's big boast, that it prevents counterfeit card fraud. "It does that spectacularly," said Jeff Hall, security consultant for Overland, Kan.-based FishNet Security.
That's only part of the challenge, however. Online fraud that doesn't require the presence of an actual card now accounts for nearly half of all credit card fraud in the United States, according to Fair Isaac Corp., and studies show that adopting EMV drives crooks to this card-not-present fraud.
EMV also has a weakness at the point of sale. While data in the card's memory chip are encrypted when the card isn't in use, the data are momentarily vulnerable when customers pay.
Proponents of EMV say this isn't a big flaw because the chip spits out a unique, one-time-only security code to encrypt the data for transmission.
But critics say that if thieves compromise the card terminal or the register at just the right point, they can access the data before transmission and get access to the information to buy from the bulk of online merchants, which don't ask for the 3- or 4-digit security code on a card, Hall said.
There are other security concerns. In the U.S. rollout, banks issuing EMV cards are not required to put a personal identification number on the cards. A PIN, which only the cardholder knows, makes transactions more secure.
More important, magnetic stripes aren't going away. To ease the conversion, the new EMV cards will still have magnetic stripes so they will work in stores that lack EMV equipment.
But magnetic stripes are easy to copy and clone.
U.S. companies are grappling with these issues as the country's gargantuan payments system shifts from magnetic stripes to chips. Retailers, banks and other players face an October 2015 deadline to be ready.
At that point, Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover are shifting the liability for fraud that happens in stores from the card-issuing banks to the merchants, unless the merchant is equipped for EMV.
So problematic is the EMV migration that there are questions about crossing over at all.
Retailers are understandably concerned that they are spending huge sums to update their card processing equipment for an EMV implementation that has potential security potholes.
Ultimately, it's not perfect, said Avivah Litan, a financial services security analyst at Connecticut-based Gartner Research, but EMV will significantly improve security compared to magnetic stripes and is the most realistic approach, given its widespread adoption everywhere else. Companies will have to layer on other protections to thwart card-not-present fraud.
"It's crazy to say, 'Don't lock your front door, because someone will get in your back door,'" she said. "You've got to lock both."

"Oldest Settlement in the Lousiana Purchase" Top 5 Page for this destination Natchitoches by atufft
Natchitoches Travel Guide: 80 reviews and 160 photos
The City of Natchitoches was established in 1714 by Louis Juchereau de St. Denis, making it the oldest permanent settlement in the Louisiana Purchase territory. The French settlement had two purposes; to establish trade with the Spanish in Texas, and at the same time, to deter Spanish advances into Louisiana. Natchitoches soon became a flourishing river port and crossroads, giving rise to vast cotton kingdoms along the river. Planters built magnificent plantations down river and built fine homes in town for social events. The nearby newer Natchitoches isn't much of a gem for tourists, but the old town is worth a day or two, and the lake area recreation could be worth much longer. We boarded up in a Super 8 Motel, but there are many fine old houses that serve as bed and breakfast retreats for those wanting romatic luxury. The shops and waterfront area are a pleasant stroll for half a day.
From Christmas to New Year the Cane River waterfront is lit up with many local contributions. Unfortunately, we found a lot of businesses closed for the holiday. But, there is a concession down at the waterfront with long hours that sells a power sugar covered confection known as a waffle cone. It's actually flat and very warm and nice to eat for dessert. The concession also sells local Louisiana dishes to-go. Rental of paddle boats during the day may be a pleasant way to tour the river, although the city also has horse carriage rides that tour the old town.
An original Louisiana creole style home was moved to the water front, providing a glimpse in the early period of the city's settlement, and nearby is a reconstructed fort. The home used in the film Steel Magnolias is also here.
- Pros:Pleasant northern Louisiana town to stay in
- Cons:Businesses close on Holidays when tourists are in town
- In a nutshell:Has a rich history and provides a good base for further exploration

Chuckwagon closed down in December of '09. But it was good while it lasted.
Tragically the Kate Chopin House burned recently with almost all of the historical artifacts lost.
Historic place with the plantation tours. I remember Hilary was chided for using the word "plantation". Nice well written page.
Thanks for pointing me in this direction - I have to confess I've not heard of Kate Chopin but the plantations reminded me of those I visited when last in New Orleans. leyle
Ola Alan: I just took a goofy online test: findyourspot.com, and it recommended Natchitoches as THE spot for me! I'd never heard of it... and you, my buddy, have a dynamite page for it! Small world.
Thanks for that pic of Kate Chopin's home. As an English teacher, it's always a treat to get a glimpse of the authors we teach and read about in the classroom. Looks like old Kate had quite a few "Benjamins."
Thanks for the info! We eat in Nackaditch every Christmas Eve!

I'm a college student looking to pick up an inexpensive fixed gear / single speed bike and came across Sole Bicycles (http://www.solebicycles.com).
What is everyone's opinion on this company? Anyone have any experiences with them they could share? What are some alternatives? They have some cool color schemes and prices seem pretty reasonable. Please keep in mind I'm not a hardcore bike rider and would mainly be using this bike to commute around campus, so I don't need anything fancy.

Gas chromatography with electron ionization and mass spectrometry (GC–EI-MS) detection is a workhorse among analytical techniques in metabolomics. A major challenge in the utilization of GC–EI-MS in metabolomics is the identification of unknowns. The recent availability of high resolution, accurate mass, time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) systems provides great potential for identifying unknowns by reducing uncertainty in possible formulas and enhancing detection continuity between sample sets. A workflow using GC–EI-MS spectra for library identification, with molecular formula information for unknowns provided by chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (CI-MS) and accurate mass analysis was used for the analysis of blood plasma.
Metabolomics provides a foundation for quantitative, comparative biology and is indispensable for the comprehensive characterization of molecules and differential analysis of populations. It entails instrumental detection, characterization, and quantification of small molecules (molecular weight < 1500 Da) produced, or transformed in the cells of living organisms (1,2). Although no single instrument is capable of fully profiling the metabolome, the unique capabilities of time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) make it an ideal tool for metabolomic studies. Gas chromatography–time-of-fight-mass spectrometry (GC–TOF-MS) is a powerful approach for unbiased metabolic profiling and quantitation of a diverse array of metabolites (3,4). High-resolution TOF-MS provides additional benefits such as mass accuracies below 1 ppm for robust formula determinations and resolving power in excess of 50,000 for resolution of isobars and minimization of background interferences. A workflow that combines accurate mass electron ionization (EI) and chemical ionization (CI) high-resolution TOF-MS for confident characterization of different compound classes was used for the analysis of human blood plasma. It includes recommendations for sample preparation, analytical conditions, and data analysis.

Jon Robin Baitz playwright shakes off failure
NEW YORK It was F. Scott Fitzgerald who famously wrote there are no second acts in American lives. It is Jon Robin Baitz who says that's utter baloney.
"There's nothing but second acts," the playwright says over coffee in the café of a Greenwich Village hotel.
He should know: Baitz was a well-regarded writer of such plays as "The Film Society" and the Pulitzer Prize finalist "A Fair Country" when he left New York for Hollywood in 2002 to create the TV show "Brothers & Sisters."
But finding frustration at every turn, Baitz lasted only a few years before being fired and fleeing back East. He has re-emerged with the drama "Other Desert Cities," easily his best-reviewed play and the first of his original works to make it to Broadway.
"I always felt that there was something else to come," says Baitz. "I sort of wake up every day in a kind of weird state of gratitude. It feels like a war ended for me, actually."
Baitz in person is soft-spoken and utterly charming, happy to talk about any topic with a dash of wit and plenty of wisdom. Over the course of an hour interview at the Jane Hotel in Manhattan, which he points out sheltered some surviving crewmembers of the Titanic, he references the last days of World War I, Elia Kazan, W.H. Auden, Allen Ginsberg and paintings by Eric Fischl, which inspired his play "The Paris Letter."
Things are lately looking up for a man who admits that he's usually prepared for the worst. The young-looking 50-year-old is digging his roots deep into the city - his apartment is being renovated - and he has the first draft of a new play written. He's eager to concentrate on plays now.
"I think having gone through the experiences I did - particularly with Hollywood - it now seems churlish to do anything other than write plays for as long as I possibly can," he says. "I had to teach myself how to write for myself again."
"Other Desert Cities" is about a dysfunctional, politically divided family wrestling with a deep secret in their past. The cast includes Stockard Channing and Stacy Keach, who have been with the show since it made its debut a year ago at Lincoln Center Theater. Former "Brothers & Sisters" star Rachel Griffiths and Judith Light of "Ugly Betty" have joined the Broadway show.
Baitz often writes with actors in mind and did so this time as well. "You hear one or two people for parts in your head and then you have a sort of tiny, tiny team on the bench, waiting," he says. "All those people are in the play pretty much."
One of them is Keach, who Baitz calls an actor with "majestic depths of dignity and sorrow." Keach returns the compliment, calling Baitz a cross between Noel Coward and Anton Chekhov. "The characters he writes are endlessly fascinating. Every performance is an adventure," says Keach, who also starred in Baitz's "Ten Unknowns," at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, in 2003.
For Baitz, it's no coincidence that the latest play comes Phoenix-like from the ashes of his wretched TV experience. "It was fairly quickly evident that the level of ambition that I had for it had nothing to do with the situation on the ground," he says. "The level of subtext could be dwarfed by a paramecium."
He left New York and his playwriting career following a series of unhappy events - 9/11, the death of his father and the breakup of his relationship with director and actor Joe Mantello, who nevertheless directs "Other Desert Cities."

January - March 2003
George Cummins , crops field specialist
Sustainable agricultural practices, nutrient management and groundwater quality are high-priority extension programming issues in northeast Iowa . Karst geology, disappearing streams and sinkholes and agriculture drainage wells all contribute to a unique situation that requires special attention and management. Iowa State University Extension has helped develop and implement several successful water quality projects that have been completed in this part of the state in recent years. The Tri-County Rural Water Quality Project, which encompasses 661,000 sensitive acres in Butler , Floyd and Mitchell Counties , was conducted from 19982002. A major objective of this project was to increase awareness of water quality issues and to demonstrate workable solutions to the problems identified. The three county extension education directors (Pat Derdzinski, Brenda Schmitt and Neil Wubben) and the area crops specialist (George Cummins) worked with the project coordinator and the project advisory committee to implement activities which would meet the project objectives and extension programming priorities.
A pre-project survey was developed and conducted by the sociology department at Iowa State . The survey was designed to assess landowner knowledge of groundwater issues and the impact of various farming practices on water quality.
Replicated, on-farm nutrient management demonstrations were conducted by extension in each of the three counties each year. In 2000, three cooperators conducted three trials involving manure X nitrogen (N) rates; in 2001, five cooperators conducted seven trials involving manure X N rate, commercial N rates and N rates following alfalfa; and in 2002, five cooperators conducted seven trials involving manure X N rates, commercial N rates and N rates following alfalfa. Manure analysis, applicator calibration, the Iowa State late spring nitrate test (LSNT) and the Iowa State fall stalk nitrate test (FSNT) were used to monitor nutrient usage and losses. All of the testing costs and some of the ISU crop specialist travel expenses were covered by the project. Harvest yields were collected on all trials, the data was statistically analyzed, and economic response was determined.
In December of 2001 and 2002, cooperator meetings were held at the Iowa State Northeast Research Farm to share individual trial results, to evaluate the project and to identify additional work needed. Cooperators, the project advisory committee, local supervisors and legislators, campus extension and IDALS and DNR staff participated in the discussions. Summaries of the individual trials and discussion from these cooperator sessions were published in a project newsletter which was sent quarterly to 3,300 landowners in the three counties, were used in area media articles and were used as local examples in crop clinics and confinement site manure applicator certification training.
On-farm cooperator trials were included as stops on annual conservation tours in each county.
Funding for the post-project survey by the Iowa State sociology department was cut so we do not have a formal evaluation of the impact of the project on improved awareness by landowners.
This project reflects successful networking with and cooperation between NRCS, IDALS, DNR and extension at the local and state level.
Several of the cooperators are active members of commodity groups, farm organizations or are special advisory committee members addressing animal production/nutrient management/environmental issues at the state and national level. They have first-hand experience with many of the practices being considered by public policy makers and can identify potential benefits and limitations. They can document and quantify the economic and environmental benefits of the practices under their farming conditions. They have adopted a number of the practices demonstrated and have shared their experiences with neighbors, friends and professional contacts providing a multiplier effect for these extension efforts.
Imitation is the highest compliment. The on-farm demonstrations piloted with the Tri-County Water Quality Project are an integral part of the subsequent Iowa State Hub and Spokes Manure/ Tillage Project. In 2001, this project worked with nine farmers in six counties with 12 different trials and had a budget of $38,150. In 2002, the project had 10 cooperators in six counties with 14 different trials. The project added a research component at the Northeast Research Farm and had a budget of $116,000. The Hub and Spokes budget allowed opportunities for some extension salary savings and cost recovery for travel and program expenses related to the project. This project will be expanded in 2003 as funding permits.
The Tri-County Water Quality Project was terminated in December, 2002. There is a continuing need for research and demonstration projects to develop sustainable agriculture systems, which are economically and environmentally sound and socially acceptable. Extension involvement in these projects is essential to their subsequent success.

Tamron has announced pricing and availability for its new 16-300mm f/3.5-6.3 DI II VC PZD MACRO lens. The lens follows the popular 18-270mm model, stretching the focal length at both ends of the zoom range for a 18.8x total zoom range. The new 16-300mm model retails for $629 and should be available mid-May (B&H says on May 15) and is available for pre-order for Canon, Nikon and Sony mounts. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
Tamron's New 150-600mm is the Sharpest 'Budget' Birder Lens
DxO Labs has run the new Tamron 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD lens through its DxO Mark tests and indicates that it beats out other "budget" super-telephoto lenses, including Canon's classic (and more expensive) 100-400mm L lens. Of course, it offers an additional 200mm on the telephoto end over the Canon lens as well.
The Tamron lens was also pitted head-to-head against the Sigma 150-500mm and edged it out as well. Check out the entire comparison and test results over at DxO Mark.

New Tamron SP 150-600mm Lens Priced and Available for Pre-Order
The new Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD lens now has official pricing, and comes in at $1069 (a slight price hike of $120 over the 200-500mm lens it is replacing). The lens is available for pre-order in Canon, Nikon and Sony mounts and is expected to be available on January 17, 2014. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD Lens Coming in January
Tamron's new new 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DI VC USD lens that is set to replace the current 200-500mm version will be available in the US on January 17, 2014. Tamron still hasn't released pricing on the new lens; however, I would expect it to come in higher than the $949 street price of the existing 200-500mm lens.
Tamron offers a little more detail into the build of the lens with its latest press release.
Employing 20 elements in 13 groups and boasting an advanced optical design, the lens delivers a superior balance of resolution and contrast for sharp, clear images. The front group contains three LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements (two in the first group, one in the third) for enhanced optical correction effectiveness, enabling the lens to thoroughly compensate for on-axis aberrations at the telephoto end. The lens also adopts eBAND Coating, developed from state-of-the-art coating technologies, and conventional BBAR (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection) Coating to greatly suppress ghosting and flare even when shooting under adverse lighting conditions.
The new 150-600mm lens is already listed at B&H Photo for Canon, Nikon and Sony mounts; however, as noted above, there is no pricing info as of yet.

Consumers should ensure Sewa meters work properly, official says
Sharjah: Faulty Sewa (Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority) meters have left several tenants fuming over huge outstanding bills while the authorities say tenants are responsible for checking the meters.
Several residents complain they are oblivious of faulty meters until it is time for them to relocate to neighbouring emirates — leaving them with an outstanding bill that is debited from their deposit. The deposit amount for apartments varies but for a standard two-bedroom apartment it is Dh2000, according to Sewa.
Hamida Abu Bakr, a resident of Sharjah, is one of the many tenants hit by an outstanding bill caused by a faulty meter. As she was being charged Dh400 per month, Hamida was not aware that the metre was faulty.
"I have been living in a flat for more than four years and my bills were always paid promptly.
"Last month I decided to relocate to Dubai, and when I visited Sewa to collect my deposit and close my account I was in a shock when they told me that my meter was not working and I was only being charged for seven months," said Hamida, who explained that the authorities asked her to pay Dh180 for each month.
"After complaining and talking to the seniors they accepted to charge me Dh130 as an estimate for each month. This is a one-bedroom flat with only two occupants who are out from morning until evening, and my monthly bill has always been above Dh400, even when I was out of country," she said.
"I find this is unfair because if the meter was not reading properly, how should I have known? I was not aware about it at all," Hamida said.
An official at Sewa, who declined to be named, explained that it is the residents' responsibility to be aware that the amount they are charged is significantly lower than their consumption. "If the tenant sees that they are being charged very little, they should notify Sewa immediately to change the meter. Meters are likely to be faulty due to the environment, or other factors," said the official, who declined to elaborate.
"When the tenant decides to change homes to another emirate, all their outstanding payments will have to be paid. That can either be paid for or debited from the deposit," he said.
Precautionary measures
"Tenants cannot close their account until their outstanding payments are cleared. They should also take precautionary measures and check that the water metre is working properly, and if it is not they should report it immediately," he added.

What I've noticed is that when you insert a map, you are not able to ride the bicycle on that map even if you edit all of the header settings for the map. The solution to this lies in the string of bytes for the map header.
1. In Advance Map, go to the map header and enter the professional map header settings with CTRL+H.
2. In the string of bytes for the map header under "Map options:," find the first of the last four bytes (byte #25 if that confuses you).
3. Change that byte (byte #25) to 01.
4. You can now ride the bicycle on that map!

Starbucks said it's voluntarily recalling some 1,700 bottles of Evolution Fresh juice sold at grocery stores in California and Nevada after the company detected a potential problem.
The Seattle company said Friday it had found a small number of swollen Organic Sweet Greens and Ginger juice bottles with "best by" dates of March 2, and so proceeded to recall bottles sold in about 120 grocery stores in the two states.
On Monday a spokesman said that a preliminary investigation confirmed that "this was an isolated incident and a product quality issue, not a food safety issue," but that a more comprehensive inquiry is still underway.
Starbucks said it received no complaints nor alerts of illnesses related to the product.

The company said that Organic Sweet Greens and Ginger juices with other "best by" dates, as well as other products, are not part of the recall. The product was not sold at Starbucks retail stores, the company said.
The recalled bottles, which it began selling on Jan. 18, represent less than half of one percent of Evolution Fresh's production.
Starbucks bought Evolution Fresh in 2011 to diversify beyond coffee and establish a bigger presence in grocery aisles.

Laughable ............. FSG out!!!
Do you really think bonuses are something new in football? Do you not know there are bonuses at every club for goals scored, appearances, and yes even where the club ends up in the table come the end of the season, and they've been there for years.
But of course someone with no evidence at all making the assumption we're now going to offer only £1000 per week contracts is not likely to actually deal with reality.
But of course you also missed that these new structured contracts are exactly what was offered to Sterling, Skrtel and Agger, who you told us would all walk away as others would pay them more, but for some strange reason (in the real world) they decided to sign and stay.
I think I might start calling you fortuneteller in the future, just as I find it so ironic at how bad you are at actually predicting all the doomsday scenarios you think are about to fall on LFC.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

Hi there Steer,
I don't know what mel said previously but I think your "Sterling, Skrtel and Agger," example missed the point. I think you need to look outward rather than inward, it's about selling 'Project Liverpool' to potential new signings and convincing them that the club is ambitious and are serious about challenging for top honours as Liverpool used to do. In the current climate where the likes of City, Chelsea and PSG are willing to offer top class players ridiculous wages in order to sign for them, most agents won't even listen to any offer from Liverpool because they know that they can get their clients better financial package elsewhere , and also maximised their own agents fees. We lost RVP, Clichy, Nasri, Toure, Ashley Cole because they were convinced that they can get better offers at other clubs. If Liverpool pursue their basic wage plus performance-related bonus policy, they stand the risk of losing key players in future like Arsenal did when it's time to renegotiate the players expiring deals and their agents have had better package outside the club than Liverpool are offering their clients.

Oh btw, I'm one of those Arsenal fans who still believes that clubs should live within their means but pragmatic enough to realise that the current Arsenal model is doomed to fail unless every club sign up to the FFP charter, I believe that this is only way forward and the most viable way to ensure fair competition and level playing field for all.
dsteer_lfc_68 dsteer_lfc_68 Jan 18, 2013 16:13 Flag
I take your point that it's not just about retaining your best players it's also about attracting the best players from other clubs to join. But I do think it's a fair barometer of a clubs contracts to consider how players who are in demand react when offered these deals.
Agger, Skrtel, and Sterling, along with others like Suarez who's recently signed a new deal were all in demand at other clubs, but still re-signed for us which tells me we got it right. On the other hand for comparisons sake, Fabrigas, Nasri, and RVP did not re-sign which suggests Arsenal did not, although maybe the good news for you that Walcott is staying suggests they've changed the contract structure.
Now time will tell if these contracts will attract additional players, but it seems Sturridge had no issue with it. But it seems obvious to me we're not talking about £1000 per week deals like Mel would have you believe, but competitive base salaries with incentives to make even more.
But, my final point is to agree with you that competing with the likes of City and Chelsea on money alone is near impossible unless or until FFP really kicks in. So I'd suggest why try. I mean do you really want a Remy who is willing to go to QPR just for a payday and an escape clause in case they go down, or would you prefer someone who has a vested interest in the clubs success. Now maybe that means we can't have a squad of 20 mercenaries all on £150K plus a week, but then the more players who are fighting hard for the club on £75K or less means more room for one or two who really do command the pay-packets north of £100K.

Well Mel, I appreciate the mention, and regardless whatever happens on the pitch, or behind closed doors, I still support the "Club" and whatever the future holds..
I have, on several occasions, and sorry to be redundant, have absolutley no vested interest in these guys because it's direct conflict for me from an American perspective as a New Yorker vs Boston theme..
This said, if and when I see fit, that they're doing something that I personally deem wrong, or not in the best interest of LFC or the fans, I'll be one of the first ones to call them out. But, having seen their model for 13 (give or take) years, and the success it's brought them and the city of Boston, it's basically what I had expected and explained from the dark days when we almost went into administration as they, and an Asian fashion designer United fan were the 2 final front runners to buy the club..
I will say that Ian Ayre is a complete idiot.. I've occasionally been privvy to some information, other times just done my research very thoroughly, and he's a liability to the club.. I cringe when he speaks, so on top of his inability to get things done in the market properly (Dempsey was in the bag, factually), I take some of his statements with a pinch of salt, and that of a moron.. He's a marketing/pr person acting as the face of a large Football Club and worldwide brand.. I hope he goes, though I have no information to support he will, unless he's just keeping a seat warm until the summer..
That said, as per Dave's comments and something I said in another thread.. in the face of 20M+ bids for both Skrtel and Agger, both resigned long term contracts with improved wages, as has Suarez, Sterling, Jonjo, Lucas, Suso, Wisdom and all our great youth players, as well as back bones of the club.. I'm sure in addition to length, increases, their contracts all contain some sort of incentive.. Every contract anywhere has them.. I'm sure when City took a risk on Hargreaves this year, there was a time/matches played clause in there in addition to whatever ridiculous wages they gave and wasted on him..
Also, while I don't have the figures for us completely, nor every other club, we have actually been up around the top of the EPL this year in spend, and not just net, gross..
I think we were 3rd highest in the summer, around 30M, and we've actually spent 12M on Sturridge, where Chelsea has only spent about 8M on Demba Ba, City nothing, United nothing, Spurs nothing, Everton nothing, Arsenal nothing..
I expect these clubs to all do something, but I also expect us to do a little bit more as well, unless the players we want are being asked for over the odds fees and we wait until the summer..
While at the moment everyone despises Borini, he's now back as a new addition, and has tiny expectations on him with Suarez form/goals scored, and Sturridge expectations, and while in poor form now, Allen did look brilliant early on, so if those 2 in particular, find form, consistency and contribute to moving us up the table, then it was money very well spent and a good job done..
If and when I hear or see them saying or doing something I didn't expect, or that I view as wrong, again, I'll be the first one to pick them out... BUT, I don't know who else is out there to buy/run a club, especially of this stature and the project at hand..
- 1 Reply to Jason
JASON...according to Ayre this is a brand new way that the club is GOING to structure contracts. How do we know that Agger Skrtl Sturidge signed under this new structure ?
As per FSG you have given us here your honest opinion of Ayre btw I agree with u entirely ...now...who appointed Ayre to his post at the club...FSG John Henry...incompetency ? Think a greater degree of incompetency was displayed when this clown hung on to his job after te transfer window debacle with Andy C gone and his replacement BR's choice Dempsey swans off and signs for Spurs. FSG John Henry obviously considered he was STILL the man for the job ?
Sorry mate agree with much of what u say in u posts but Im not a fan of FSG AND their Business Model so for me Im with mel...FSG...OUT ! OUT !! OUT !!!

Imagine planning a trip that requires a vaccination for polio, hepatitis and Japanese encephalitis. Imagine having to ingest live typhus bacteria and take malaria pills on a daily basis. "And why are you going there?" asked one person after another as I recited this list.
I was going to India, I thought, to satisfy a nearly lifelong curiosity about the place. But I'm beginning to wonder whether it was more than mere curiosity that led me there.
I spent January 2007 in Tiruvannamalai, India, volunteering at Quo Vadis Interfaith Dialogue Center as part of my master of arts degree program at Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. It was the fulfillment of a childhood dream to touch the so-called "untouchables"—outcasts of India's oppressive caste system.
But fulfillment may be the wrong word. For rather than a sense of completion, the experience created a restlessness to return. The inexplicable feeling is so strong that it changed the trajectory of my life.
I graduated from Luther in May. But the secure, career-furthering jobs I envisioned for my post-Luther life now seem unbearably mundane. I've passed up pursuing what I once would have considered dream jobs with generous paychecks and titles befitting one in her fifth decade of life. Instead, I'll eke out an existence with part-time and freelance work as I make plans to lead a women's interfaith dialogue study trip to India next year.
India—with its aromatic cuisine, frenetic urban life and beautiful, raven-haired inhabitants—is a feast for the senses. For me it was also an experience of passionate personal connections, a broadening of my theological horizons and a profoundly meaningful experience of Christian community.
Seminarians are frequently asked to describe their call to ministry. I never felt that the unanswered questions or the dissatisfaction with shallow theology that impelled me to seminary constituted a call. Was that grade-school social studies lesson about the untouchables or my passion to return to India a call? I don't know. If somehow the mortgage gets paid, the student loan payments are kept up to date and I find myself at the travel clinic getting a hepatitis booster, I might have my answer.
