Benefits Of Stainless Steel Wine Barrels
Traditionally, wooden barrels have been the favored container for aging as well as storage of wine. However, barrels made of wood can have an effect on the taste and the color of the wine because of the fact that the wood's characteristics can be soaked up by the wine. Inbuilt in the construction of wood barrels and the absorbent attribute of wood, there are tiny spaces that cause the wine to get oxygenated and change the taste of the wine. Therefore, other types of wine containers are being used to age and store wine in the wineries.
Stainless steel wine barrels are a great alternative to the conventional wine barrels made of wood, because stainless steel wine barrels not only require low maintenance, but they also do not wear out easily and are extremely durable. Stainless steel wine barrels can help save money in the long run. In view of the fact that wine is naturally acidic, it can easily oxidize wooden wine barrels. This severely affects the longevity of the wood wine barrels and will cause a winery to purchase new wine barrels more often.
As mentioned earlier, stainless steel wine barrels will not corrode as easily as compared to wooden wine barrels; as a result, the winery will not have need of replacing their wine barrels frequently. Unlike wooden barrels, stainless steel wine barrels are relatively easy to clean and will not soak up or absorb the flavors of its contents. For the reason that stainless steel wine barrels do not share the absorbent attribute of their wooden counterparts, they are impermeable to oxygen. This means that when stainless steel wine barrels are used and maintained in the proper manner, the true flavors of the wines will not be affected.
There are certain precautions that one should take when using stainless steel wine barrels. It is essential to keep the inner surface smooth and free of scratches when using stainless steel wine barrels. Remains of the previous wines may still be left behind in the scratches and grooves, which have an effect on the taste of the following wines that are stored in the stainless steel wine barrels.
Washing or cleaning the wine barrel with hard water can leave behind lime deposits that can wear down the stainless steel wine barrel and also reduce its lifespan. Therefore, it is essential to wipe the wine barrels until they are completely dry after rinsing them with hard water.

With efforts to ban high caffeine energy drinks, because of health dangers, it was discussed at Chicago's City Council committee hearing Tuesday, March 5th, but no action. Ald. Edward Burke has proposed banning drinks with at least 180 milligrams of caffeine that also include taurine, an amino acid, or guarana, an Amazonian plant that contains caffeine. However, The Chicago Tribune reported that no action was taken. Burke's proposal led to a no vote, but they did agree to discuss in the future. Web publication Gapers Block said Alderman George Cardenas (12 Ward), chairman of the committee, would rather enact tougher labeling rules than ban highly caffeinated drinks altogether. No date was determined when the vote on the energy drink ban or, stronger labeling rules will take place.
This effort shows that politicians are showing concern for the health of citizens. Studies have shown that these high caffeine drinks have increased visits to the ER. The popular energy drinks such as Monster, Red Bull and 5 Energy are very popular among young people. You will find these drinks lined up in the front of most convenience stores, gas stations and grocery stores in the Chicago area.
Citizens need to be aware of the affects energy drinks, sugary drinks and sports drinks can have. People sometimes are more concerned on getting that 'quick fix' rather than looking at the full picture of the long term affects.

Jews Return to Yad Yair
Former residents of the destroyed community of Yad Yair return home to sleep for the night.
By Maayana Miskin
First Publish: 4/8/2010, 9:40 PM / Last Update: 4/8/2010, 11:04 PM
Israel news photo
Jews who used to live in the demolished community of Yad Yair, northwest of Jerusalem, returned to the area Wednesday to sleep there for the night. The former residents chose to camp out at the site as a gesture of their continued connection to the place, from which they have been barred for the past 18 months.
The overnight action was not approved by the IDF. During the night soldiers came to investigate, but the activists managed to evade eviction.
Former residents noted that Yad Yair was destroyed despite a Supreme Court order delaying the demolition. Residents are now pursuing damages in court.

Our school district has many iPads. We are wondering if a "master" Apple ID can be set up for configuing purposes (creating a standard starting point with certain apps for all devices) and if the teacher to whom it is assigned can then set up their own Apple ID (a second, functioning ID for the same device) for personal app downloads, email, calendar, etc while leaving the initial information intact. Basically, we don't want them to be able to change what the IT dept puts on the iPad.
The Apple Configurator app was designed for deploying large numbers of iOS devices within institutions like schools. The Apple Configurator documentation explains the three different supported configuration modes (Prepare, Supervise, or Assign), and a video introduction is also available. Based on the wording of your question, the either the Prepare or Supervise method will likely be the best choice.
In addition to Apple Configurator, you may consider something for over the air management, such as Apple's Profile Manager, or Airwatch.
From there you can deploy apps, and restrict installation, in-app purchasing and set content settings.

For an n X n matrix whose entries are constrained to be in some [x,y], is the maximum absolute eigenvalue of the matrix a function of its sparsity? Is there a closed-form expression that states this function? 'Sparsity' could mean slightly different things. Lets say that it refers to the proportion of zero-valued entries, for starters.

Since the spectral norm of a matrix is bounded by the Frobenius norm, the eigenvalues of the matrix $A = (a_{ij})$ satisfy $|\lambda| \le \left(\sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n |a_{ij}|^2 \right)$. In particular, if the nonzero elements are bounded by $r$ and there are at most $k$ nonzero elements, $|\lambda| \le \sqrt{k} r$. This bound is sharp, in the sense that a $d \times d$ matrix whose entries are all $r$ has an eigenvalue $d r$.

Beth, Your post is so well written. Thank you for sharing so openly. I have realized over the last year or so, that motherhood comes in many forms. I blogged about this in one of my first posts. However, I think you really did an amazing job of sharing two very different experiences in mothering. Please let me know if it would be okay for me to share this post. Wishing you a blessed Mother's Day. Best, Sarah http://blog.myangelyouareloved.comReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you so much, Sarah. You are welcome to link to these posts. I hope that your Mother's Day was gentle.Delete
Hi Beth,ReplyDelete
It's nice to meet you. Of course, I'm reading and writing to you because we have a lot in common. I am the mother of boy/girl twins, and 5 babies in Heaven. We lost quadruplets at 18 weeks in 2006 and then our perfect baby girl at 41 weeks on July 1, 2011. I'd love to share my blog with you, agirlandaboyblog.blogspot.com. I am also in recovery from eating disorders including compulsive eating, over exercising, restricting, and bulimia.
It's not often you come across someone with more than one life changing experience in common.
God bless and thank you for sharing your journey.
Oh wow, Laura. Thank you so much for introducing yourself. I am definitely off to check out your blog after I finish writing this -- as you said, it's not often that you meet someone who shares MORE than one huge life changing experience! I'm so very sorry that you've had to trudge through eating disorder hell, and the horror of losing not one but five sweet babies (losing four in one go? I can't even imagine...).Delete
Yesterday must have been a strange day for you, the one year anniversary of your full-term daughter's loss. I hope it was peaceful. I am dreading our own one year mark, coming up in November. You are a brave woman -- I don't think I would have tried again for biological kids after losing quadruplets, but I am glad that you did. Biggest hugs.
Not only is your work beautiful but so is your blog. Makes me think there is a beautiful person behind it all. You are going to be a blessing to so many people, even people you may never meet. Peace.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you so much! xoxoDelete
Our daughter was born at 35 weeks sleeping on Oct 6th. I found out we were pregnant with our son in April. Due in December. Hugs to youReplyDelete
Hi Beth, I read your beautiful essay "When Your Baby has Died and Your Friends are Pregnant" on stillstandingmag.com. It was a brave and inspiration piece. My husband and I lost our baby boy, Buck Masahisa, at 20 weeks this past April. I have communicated over the phone and email with my two best friends (who live long-distance), both of whom are expecting their babies two months behind when I would have given birth to our son. I have been open with them about my intense grief and about my inability to celebrate their upcoming births given the dark place I'm in. I keep thinking how interesting and wonderful an essay told from the perspective of an expectant friend of a babyloss mom would be. While my friends have shared their sadness over our loss with me, I often wonder what things go unsaid . .the really honest things on the other side of this. I wonder if one of your friends would be willing to share this perspective?ReplyDelete
I'm so very sorry you lost your baby girl Eve. I wish you all the best in your upcoming arrival of Jacob.
Big hugs,
Thanks, Ginger! Hugs to you.Delete
Beth...I stumbled upon your blog last night while laying in bed listening to Glory Baby while thinking back to November 20,2011 when I lost my sweet Adley Rose at 16 wks gestation. I've been blogging as well, the heartache will never subside but I wanted you to know I'm thinking of you and yours. Big Hugs!ReplyDelete
Thank you, Cherie! I'm sorry you're remembering a loss, too. I hope the day was gentle.ReplyDelete
I seriously love that you noted you play board games "except for risk." :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Haha thanks, Andrea. Risk makes me way too angry, so I've cut myself off. :)Delete
wow you and I are very much alike.. Sad really. I was 35 weeks pregnant when I found out our daughter no longer had a heartbeat. I delivered her 5 days later on Oct 6 2011. I found out in March 2012 that we were pregnant with our son. He was born happy and healthy Nov 26 2012.ReplyDelete
Hugs to you. I look forward to reading your blog..

Thanks for sharing your story, Beth. It is so touching. I know others who read it will find peace and closure in reading about your life.ReplyDelete
Beth, I finally found you. It's Tam, from Australia. We used to write to each other as kids. We were the best of Penpals and then life got in the way. I still have all of your letters. What a beautiful, inspiring and moving post. Please get in touch at firstname.lastname@example.com or on Facebook. Would love to reconnect. You have been on such a journey since we last wrote to each other, some 10 years ago. I will continue to read your work. Keeping you in my prayers, Tammy xReplyDelete

I was moved by your most recent post and thought you might find this video helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKwo-D9UpWA In the event that you are not able to click through simply search for "I am that I am" on you tube. There are several video's choose the "official" one. Wishing you a peace filled journey.
Wow, beth! I love your blog! This is Devin from Elora's webinar! :) Look forward to getting to know you better. :)ReplyDelete
I wish I had gotten to know you better before we moved. I can't believe the similarities in our lives- I've been to New Zealand (friends lived there for a year), I have babies in heaven, my mom has an alpaca farm... If I ever manage to move back, we need to hang out and have more baby play dates.ReplyDelete

Carl from Good Mews Animal Foundation in metro Atlanta has a special message that he posted on the Good Mews Facebook page earlier today:
Hey, how's it going? My name is Carl. I was rescued from a high kill animal control. I am so grateful Good Mews is able to help out this shelter because they literally have no rescue groups to help them and very few adoptions. So I am thrilled to be at Good Mews; I am one of the lucky ones.
So - check this out. I love being at Good Mews. I have made a lot of friends and enjoy hanging out with them. But I would much rather have a home. I love people so I want my very own person to hang out with every day and every night. I am a cool guy that can act tough at times, but deep down I am a softy. I love to be petted and will purr when someone holds and cuddles me. But I don't purr too loud; I can't let the other guys know I am not as cool as I appear to be.
Come meet me this weekend. We are having a special called "Let's Hear it for the Boys" and all male cats have a reduced adoption fee of 50%. So when you get to the shelter, just ask for Cool Cat Carl. Everyone knows who I am.
Carl is a one-year old domestic short hair kitty and is available for adoption. The following is some additional information about Carl from the Good Mews website:
Carl is one cool cat with a laid-back personality. After he is done running around the shelter, wrestling with cats, and playing with feather wand toys, he will curl up in a cat tree and just chill out.
Carl is also very friendly when it comes to people and once you start petting him, his motor will start running.
Carl was living at a high-kill shelter, but with his positive attitude, he just knew he was going to make it out alive. We are so happy we were able to save him and give him a chance at the happy life he deserves.

Primary TrainingThis process begins when the dogs are puppies, as part of our prison puppy training program. Inmates begin working with puppies on standardized commands, and teaching the four foundations of service dog tasks: retrieve, tug, push, and brace – all part of the VetDogs training curriculum. Volunteer weekend puppy raisers take the puppies on the weekends to socialize them in many different situations so they will be comfortable in a variety of settings: stores, restaurants, public transportation, sporting events, concerts, etc.
Once the VetDogs service dog training team understands the needs of an applicant (several months prior to the student attending class), they will work on advanced foundation tasks that will specifically help mitigate each student's particular disability. Opening and closing doors, retrieving a variety of items, turning on and off lights, and providing balance and stability are just some of the specific tasks dogs can be trained to do. Once the student arrives for class, the dog is transferred to their new handler, and the bonding begins.On-class Training During class, students will learn how to lead their dog; gain an understanding of pack theory; basic learning theory, which will address the commands the dog already knows; and advanced learning theory that will comprise advanced commands.
Students will also learn how to work with their dogs in various settings that include walks; mass transit situations, including train platforms, subway, and bus travel; outings to malls and other stores; and other types of real-world situations.

We started using Khan Academy a few years back but truly only off and on. While the concept was good it was only somewhat user friendly when we first started.
With time they have made some changes and now we are hooked. My kids can follow along in order if they choose or move around to what interests them and as a homeschooling family this fits us perfectly. The true test for me and their worth came during the holiday season I ended up working full-time and was truly overwhelmed juggling it all and Khan Academy made the math very easy. My daughter was able to work by herself on the long days and I could easily follow up and see what progress she made give her any help she needed along the way. His videos made the confusion disappear. If I didn't answer her questions in the morning before I left or she found herself with new questions while I was away his videos would help. You work along and if you find you have questions the video attached to that lesson is on the same page you are working on, very convenient and easy to follow.
While math still frustrates my daughter (it has never been her favorite subject), she is getting a better understanding for it because he gives thorough information.
Oh and Khan Academy offers way more than math, that is just the only subject we are in need of at the moment. After watching the video introducing Computer Science I am hooked, I can't for my kids to get a look at that and for them to dig in. Hands on fun what can be better.
I hope you will get a chance to pop over to www.KhanAcademy.org and find something useful.

In course of discussing the algebraic structures, one of my seniors is led quite naturally to considering the $\color{red} {geometric}$ version of following:
Question: Since we could consider the spectrum of an abelian-group-algebra $\color{blue}{as\ a\ commutative\ ring}$, it is natural to ask: what kind of informations of this abelian group could be obtained from the considerations of this spectrum?
On the other hand, we can view the commutative ring $\color{blue} {as\ an\ abelian\ group}$, and thus form its group-algebra. We then ask a further question: what relations are there between the spectrum of the ring, and the spectrum of this group-algebra?
Notice: As I have yet heard of nothing about the subject, any source or reference in this direction is the most appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Also one of my seniors is greatly intrigued in the $\color{green}{geometric}$ point of view of this question, thus it would be quite wonderful if any insight or crucial observations are provided. Thanks again.

A broad consensus exists that the long-term impact of immigration on Americans' average income is small but positive, improving employment, productivity, and income. In the short term, however, immigration may slightly reduce native employment and average income. This report provides an analysis of short- and long-run impacts of immigration over the business cycle.
This statement from the fourth plenary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration focuses on immigrant integration and how to shift focus back onto integration as a continuous and interactive process, even amidst the tumult of a persistent economic crisis.
The enlargement of the European Union has fundamentally changed migration patterns to the United Kingdom. Since May 2004 an estimated 1.5 million workers have moved to the UK from new EU member states. This report looks at the challenges ahead as migration patterns shift across the UK.
An examination of illegal immigration's overall impact on the U.S. economy, which this report finds is negligible despite clear benefits for employers and unauthorized immigrants and slightly depressed wages for low-skilled native workers.
This report analyzes employment and unemployment patterns from 1994 to 2008, offers possible explanations for why labor market outcomes for immigrants have been more cyclical, and proposes possible public policy solutions for mitigating immigrants' vulnerability to the business cycle.
This report, commissioned by the BBC World Service, seeks to explore the myriad impacts of the global financial crisis that began in September 2008 on migration flows, immigration policies, remittances, and on migrants themselves. Select countries and regions are examined in detail to highlight overarching trends and regional differences.
This book reflects the effort of the Transatlantic Council on Migration to map how profound demographic change is likely to affect the size and character of global migration flows; and how governments can shape immigration policy in a world increasingly attuned to the hunt for talent.

"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

Venezuela Native to Join PUC's Men's Soccer Program
HAMMOND, Ind. - Kaskaskia College's Carlos Antonetti announced his commitment to the Purdue University Calumet men's soccer program this past week, becoming the 15th commitment for head coach James Drzewiecki's inaugural recruiting class.
"Carlos left a very good impression on us at our first Identification Camp," said Drzewiecki. "He's a very smart holding mid who can play quickly with his fellow midfielders. His size, strength, and maturity is obviously a big plus. He's going to take a lot of pressure off our backline and our keepers."
The 6-foot-2 midfielder was a two-year starter for the Blue Devils, competing at the NJCAA Div. I level. The Caracas, Venezuela native helped his high school, Calasanz Valencia, to a national Coca-Cola Cup title in 2007, before representing Venezuela in the International Coca-Cola Cup.
He is the son of Carlos Antonetti and Alexandra Armas and plans to major in mechanical engineering.

Justin Bieber is the topic of conversation across social media. Critics and fans have spoken out about the recent raid on Bieber's home, and many believe the police went a little overboard. The search warrant was issued to try and locate evidence from an egging where Bieber is the number one suspect. According to a Jan. 16 report from TMZ, Justin Bieber's phone was taken during the warrant execution and now the "Biebs" is a little nervous about what the officers will find. It is being reported that there are drug references and naked pictures on the phone.
Society today allows young adults and teenagers to believe that sexual pictures and "sexting" are okay. Justin Bieber has not come out and said what naked pictures are on the phone but speculation is that some may be of Selena Gomez and possibly selfies. As for any drug references made in texts or photos taken, Bieber will not be incriminated because there is no physical proof.
Fans believe that Justin Bieber is worried about the contents of his phone because he is afraid his lifestyle may be exposed. There have been reports about drug usage for months and his erratic behaviors have become more frequent. Whether or not Bieber will be arrested for the egging incident remains to be seen but he has been publicly embarrassed as a result of his actions. Fans hope the young star cleans his life up because he has the potential to be amazing again.

ANAHEIM – Angels shortstop Erick Aybar was walking around the clubhouse Monday with one foot in a walking boot – and one foot on the DL.
Aybar remains on the active roster, however, as the Angels await direction from their medical staff and a prognosis of how long his injured foot will take to heal.
"It's going to go by how he feels and if he can improve enough to avoid the DL," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "He's still sore.
"Right now, we've got infield coverage and a day off Thursday. … The biggest thing is not 'How long can we wait (to make a decision on Aybar)?' It's, 'Is this thing going to take two days or two weeks (to heal)?' That's what we're trying to work through right now."
Aybar fouled a ball off the big toe on his right foot during the seventh inning of Saturday's game. X-rays taken after the game showed a line in the toe – most likely a hairline fracture. But swelling in the area could affect the image quality and an old injury could also show up on the exam.
Angels medical director Dr. Lewis Yocum has not evaluated the X-rays personally. He is expected to make a diagnosis Tuesday after examining Aybar and viewing the X-rays.
In the meantime, Maicer Izturis started his second consecutive game at shortstop and is likely to be the Angels' every-day shortstop in Aybar's absence with prospect Jean Segura (promoted from Double-A on Sunday) serving as a backup at both middle infield spots.
"Maicer's versatility is very important to us," Scioscia said. "He's not as athletic as Erick at shortstop. But he has good range and a very accurate arm."
Angels reliever Jordan Walden also will meet with Yocum on Tuesday. Walden is hopeful that he will be given clearance to start a throwing program. Because his move to the DL was back-dated to his last appearance before the All-Star break, Walden is eligible to be activated Tuesday but has not thrown since being shut down in New York 10 days ago.
Walden is officially on the DL because of a biceps strain but he underwent an MRI on his neck and shoulder area last week. Walden said he has experienced some discomfort in the area but thought it was "just tight."
"They thought something in my neck was causing my arm to be weak," said Walden whose velocity is down this year – from 98.8 mph on average with his fastball in 2010 and 97.5 mph in 2011 to 96.5 mph this year.
"They didn't find anything. The results were good. It's getting better."
Scioscia said he "touched base" with Vernon Wells on Monday to see how his minor-league injury-rehabilitation assignment was going. Wells went 1 for 4 as the DH for Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday and is now 6 for 15 (.400) with a home run, double and three stolen bases in four games. Scioscia said Wells' status would be evaluated "towards the end of this week." … Chris Iannetta caught seven innings and went 1 for 4 in the third game of his rehab assignment with Salt Lake. He has batted .182 (2 for 11) in three games (two at catcher, one at DH).
Angels RHP Garrett Richards (3-1, 3.53) opposes Royals LHP Will Smith (1-3, 7.97) at 7 p.m. The game will be broadcast on FSN, KLAA/830, and KWKW/1330 (Spanish).

On Friday afternoon, the Raiders flew in QB Matt Schaub into Alameda, where he would complete his physical, enabling the completion of a trade that sent Schaub to Oakland, in exchange for a 6th round draft pick for the Houston Texans.
Schaub spent the past seven seasons with the Texans, which included 128 games, 24,254 passing yards, 130 touchdowns and 84 interceptions, with a QB rating of 89.8. Schaub is a two-time Pro Bowler, having earned those honors in 2009 and 2012. However, the 2013 saw Schaub struggle mightily, as the Texans ended the season with a 2-14 record and left fans wondering what went wrong.
Despite the problems in Houston, Schaub was still a target for the Raiders, who faired poorly with both Terrelle Pryor and Matt McGloin and QB last season, and are in need of a major boost under center.
"At the end of the 2013 season, we made a number one priority as an organization to identify and acquire a proven, winning starting quarterback in the National Football League. It became obvious early on in that search of the quarterbacks that Matt Schaub of the Houston Texans was a player that may become available and we felt like he was a player that would meet that role," said Offensive Coordinator Greg Olson at the press conference to announce the signing.
Schaub has a $14.5 million salary-cap figure and a $10 million base salary for 2014, and he is banking on a change of scenery being just what the doctor ordered in hopes of getting back on track.
"A fresh start can do a lot of things for a player and a team. I'm one of those guys. Last year did not go at all how I had planned, given my prior nine years before that. I'm looking for a fresh start. I'm excited about the opportunity here and the players on this team, the coaches, the plan and the direction. Reggie has brought in a great mix of young players as well as veteran leaders and proven players in this business and I'm excited to be a part of the direction that this team is heading," said Schaub.
In 2012, Schaub threw for over 4,000 yards, but the 2013 campaign proved much more difficult with a foot injury and an abundance of interceptions; something Schaub is aiming to address this upcoming season.
"Foot's great, healthy. Excited about this opportunity, moving on. The past is the past. I can't do anything about that except move on to bigger and better things. I'm excited for what the future holds here with Oakland. Just excited to get to work. I'm happy to be here and I'm very confident in my abilities and the players on this team," added Schaub.
For Raider fans, it's been 12 long years since the team has had a successful quarterback in Rich Gannon. Despite draft picks, free agent signings and trades, the team has been unable to pick up a QB that has the tools to get the team winning again. Asked about that precise situation, Schaub said he feels confident he can fill that void.
"Without question, I think I'm that guy," proclaimed Schaub. "That's one of the most unique and intriguing aspects of coming to this organization is the rich and storied tradition that they have here, especially at this position. There are so many great quarterbacks that have played here, played at a championship level. It's just great to possibly be a part of that and make my name here, but also with the organization and be a part of this special situation."
Only time will tell if Schaub will be able to deliver the goods to make Oakland competitive again, but no doubt fans will be watching with critical eyes in anticipation of what he can do in Silver and Black.

Whales, Dolphins or Porpoises
A beached whale, dolphin or porpoise should be reported immediately and left alone pending further instruction. Call the New England Aquarium's 24-hour Marine Animal Hotline: (617) 973-5247. Please try to remain calm and leave your name and a phone number where you can be reached.
Sea Turtles
Sea turtles in our region do not typically come ashore unless they are seriously debilitated. Call the New England Aquarium's 24-hour Marine Animal Hotline: (617) 973-5247. Please try to remain calm and leave your name and a phone number where you can be reached.
Seals belong on the beach. It's normal. Please don't disturb them. Unlike whales or dolphins, seals are semi-aquatic and are comfortable out of the water. Most seals come onto beaches to sleep, nurse or soak up some sun.
What should you do if you spot a seal on the beach?
Seals are cute, but they are wild animals and should not be disturbed. By getting too close, you could upset the seal or possibly get bitten.
Watch quietly from at least 150 feet away.
Keep dogs away from the seal.
Do not offer the seal food or water.
Do not pour water on the seal or try to cover it with a towel or blanket.
Do not try to make the seal move.
Does the seal look injured or unhealthy?
Most seals on the beach are perfectly healthy, but sometimes they do need human assistance. Does the seal have any obvious injuries, gunky eyes, or look skinny or underweight? If the seal does, please take notes on its location, size, coloring and behavior and call the New England Aquarium's Marine Animal Hotline at (617) 973-5247.
All marine mammals are protected by the Marine Mammal Protection Act. This law makes it illegal to touch, disturb, feed or otherwise harass marine mammals without authorization.
Our Marine Animal Rescue Team relies very heavily on volunteer support. At the Aquarium, volunteers assist us in our hospital by providing care to rescued animals as well as working in the office and necropsy lab. Field volunteers play a vital role as our eyes and ears on the beaches providing us with detailed information about animals that come ashore. Once properly trained, they also can assist with supportive care and transportation of stranded animals. Learn more about volunteer opportunities.

Dan Guttonplan of the Newburyport News has a great feature on UMass men's swimmer Dan Backer. The story focuses on Backler's college jounrey - from having his program cut at Rhode Island, to transferring to UMass, to being an Atlantic 10 Champion in multiple events, exceeding the expectations of many.
"He can walk away from the pool, after winning that 100 breast, holding his head high," Head Coach Russ Yarworth said. "I couldn't have predicted he'd swim that fast. It was one of the highlights of my coaching career. It was one of those swims -- I'm getting goose bumps thinking about it."

Subject: Keep Up The Good Fight

Mr. Walker,
I just want to say thank you for such a great website!
I'm slowly but surely wading through everything you've got online. Some of the letters are complete howlers! yet you graciously answer the ones that attack.
I've recommended your site to the Atheist/Agnostic Family BB at babycenter.com for the regulars who want to read more.
Also, do you have any graphic links for linking to your page? I have a personal page for my son and have a few atheist sites already there and I'd be glad to add yours.
Again, Kudos!

Why would we want a carpet bagger like Chauvel to stuff up our electorate,if elected.Peter Dunne does a sterllng job for us ,so go away little fat boy Chauvel.
The Labour Party has moved early to confirm a list of electorate candidates for next year's election.
Labour has confirmed 17 candidates, with others having received a nomination but awaiting rubber stamping in 10 more electorates.
Charles Chauvel has again been confirmed as the Ohariu candidate, which he lost narrowly in 2008 to UnitedFuture's Peter Dunne and was not helped by the fact the Green Party took a chunk of the left votes with its candidate Gareth Hughes.
Another close battle is likely in Otaki, where Labour's Darren Hughes lost the electorate to National's Nathan Guy by 1354 votes.
Maryan Street is awaiting confirmation she is again likely to take on National's Nick Smith in Nelson, an electorate which Dr Smith comfortably held in 2008, while Sue Moroney will stand in the Hamilton West electorate held by National's Tim Macindoe.
Young Labour MP Jacinda Ardern will stand in the Auckland Central seat won by her young National counterpart Nikki Kaye in 2008.
Party president Andrew Little, who has indicated he may stand himself in the New Plymouth seat currently held by National's Jonathan Young, said there was a mix of experience and up and coming talent among candidates and the party planned to have all remaining electorate candidates selected by the end of the year.
Confirmed electorate candidates;
Auckland Central, Jacinda Ardern; Christchurch Central, Brendon Burns; Dunedin South, Clare Curran; Hamilton West, Sue Moroney; Maungakiekie, Carol Beaumont; Napier, Stuart Nash; Ohariu, Charles Chauvel; Otaki, Darren Hughes; Palmerston North, Iain Lees-Galloway; Port Hills, Ruth Dyson; Rangitata, Julian Blanchard; Rimutaka, Chris Hipkins; Rongotai, Annette King; Tukituki, Julia Haydon-Carr; Waitakere, Carmel Sepuloni; West Coast-Tasman, Damien O'Connor; Wanganui, Hamish McDouall.
The following have one candidate nomination received and electorate organisations are due to hold their confirmation meetings shortly:
Hutt South, Trevor Mallard; Invercargill, Lesley Soper; Mana, Winnie Laban; Mangere, Su'a William Sio; Mt Albert, David Shearer; Mt Roskill, Phil Goff; Nelson, Maryan Street; New Lynn, David Cunliffe; Te Atatu, Chris Carter; Te Tai Tokerau, Kelvin Davis.
Selections will occur over July and August in the following electorates where more than one nomination has been received:
Northcote, Paula Gillon, Richard Hills; Te Tai Tonga, Joanne McLean, Rino Tirikatene.

14 Comments & Questions
You better watch out cause that little fat boy might be your electorate MP next year. I think you might find that he is wonderful and will endeavour to do everything for the place.
They need a bigger clean out than that, it will take the country at least 9 years to forget the clake/cullen giveaways, and nanny semi communist ways, we will pay the price for a good while yet to come, and as usual the National Govt will get the place back up and running, then it will be time for a big spend up and giveaway time again, and out they will go as per usual, please everyone go back and look up past records.
Labour will need to nominate Jesus himself if they think they even have a chance in the next election. Except for the ETS debacle this country is only starting to recover from Helen's nine years of socialism, ant- family, pro queer, breakdown of family values, crushing of free enterprise, racist and divisive mediocre policies. The greens should take a leaf from the Maori Party. At least the Nats empowered Maori whereas that last stupid carpet muncher only ever protected her inner circle lesbian mafia and of course Peters.
Chavel, Hughes, King, Parker, Goff, Dyson, Hhahaahha What useless fools!!
Why hasn't the Labour party candidates' have a website that showsall the candidates wth their contact details such as phone, mobile & email addresses? What is this Facebook & Twitter crap that is on their main website?
Politicians need a wake up call urgently!!!
Dear Cadidate
The current health system has nothing to do with health, it has to do with illness & disability only!
Do you agree with this statement?
I am interested in your answer to my six questions.
After all how can any politicians make policy judgement calls regarding health if they don't know what true health is?
I am a healthy natural therapist of senior years interested in teaching health.
I have no hidden agenda
So all you brave candidates who won't respond to personal emails here are my questions again.
Answer them if you are brave enough to understand there is nothing to fear accept your fear itself and nothing to worry about except knowing that you are being truly transparent.
Here is the email that I sent to every candidate that has an email address.
Hello candidate,
Health questions for you.
Q1. What is your idea (definition) of health?
Q2. Will your definition of health reduce illness, disease, unwellness, abuse, & poverty?
Q3. Will your definition of health improve the environment?
Q4. Should your definition of health be taught to improve the quality and productivity of the population?
Q5. When should your definition of health begin to be taught?
Q6. Where should your definition of health be taught?
Thank you for your time.
Good luck with your thoughts

The search for James Firth, who has family in Ormond Beach, his wife, Mai Dang Firth, 4-year-old Chieu "Kristin" Quan and 2-year-old Trieu "Kiah" Co ended late Tuesday afternoon when the family was found safe at the home of an acquaintance in Newark, Calif., Melbourne police Sgt. Sheridan Shelley said during a news conference.
Melbourne police began reaching out to other law enforcement agencies after the parents made threats to kill their children and then themselves if they could not afford treatment for one of the children who is autistic.

Eleven militants arrested by Saudi security forces
April 7, 2009
Eleven members of a clandestine deviant group were apprehended at their mountain hideout in the vicinity of Saudi Arabia's southern border, an Interior Ministry official confirmed today.
The men, who had contacts with extremists based outside of the Kingdom, had plans to launch attacks against security personnel, carry out abductions, and commit other violent acts to finance their criminal activities.
According to the official, close monitoring and quick follow-up by security forces resulted in the discovery of the cell. Food stocks, weapons, ammunition, photography equipment and other supplies were also found at the hideout.
An immediate investigation into the men, all of whom are Saudis, has been launched.

The Cultural Poetics of Spanish Euroskepticism
Dartmouth Events
The Cultural Poetics of Spanish Euroskepticism
A talk by Luis MartÍn-Estudillo, Associate Professor of Spanish Literature at the University of Iowa
Tuesday, May 6, 2014
205 Dartmouth Hall
Sponsored by: Spanish and Portuguese Department
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Lectures & Seminars
The Cultural Poetics of Spanish Euroskepticism
Because Euroskepticism is often associated exclusively with the discourse of organized political actors, its literary and artistic expressions have gone largely unnoticed. These works offer nuanced and engaging views on the affects a unified Europe generates, yet their complex contributions escape academic approaches that prioritize other types of data. With Spain being an exemplar of peripheral Europe since the category appeared, the contribution of Spanish writers and artists who have questioned conceptions of Europe acquire new relevance under the current EU crisis. An analysis of their work probes Euroskeptical ideas above and beyond immediate political-economic criticism.

It has been one month since a mother and two daughters were murdered in their Shingletown home.
The homicide was followed by an intense manhunt for their husband and father, 45-year-old Shane Franklin Miller.
Sandy Miller and her two daughters, eight-year-old Shelby and four-year-old Shasta, were found shot dead back on May 7.
Shane Miller's truck and the family dog were found in Humboldt County near the remote town of Petrolia.
Investigators told us they have not had any leads since then.
We called the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office on Friday.
They told us they have called off all search efforts, and are no longer running extra patrols in the King Range National Conservation area.
That land is controlled and patrolled by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and the Sheriff's Office believes they have cancelled extra enforcement, as well.
Shane Miller is considered armed and dangerous.
He is 5'10" tall, weighing about 200 pounds, with blue eyes and red hair.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call the Shasta County Sheriff's Office, or 9-1-1.
