MILWAUKEE- It's been three weeks and seven games since the Admirals have skated at on home ice, and they certainly gave fans quite the homecoming with a huge 3-2 win over the Amtrak Rival Chicago Wolves. Milwaukee scored a pair of goals in the final minutes of the game to secure their third win in a row, marking a season long winning streak for the 2012-2013 campaign. Victor Bartley, Gabriel Bourque and Chris Mueller all scored goals for Milwaukee, while starting goaltender Jeremy Smith made 19 saves on 21 shots.
The Admirals went 3-2-1-1 during the seven-game season-long road trip, which included wins in Rockford, Chicago and Grand Rapids, a pair of losses in Oklahoma City, and OT losses in Peoria and Chicago. Forward Daniel Bang shined during the road trip, putting an assist on the board every game and contributing a goal in Milwaukee's shootout win Saturday night in Chicago.
Although the Admirals put a lot of pressure on Chicago goaltender Matt Climie in the early minutes of the game, the Wolves lit the lamp first with a goal from F Bill Sweatt. Line mate Jordan Schroeder brought the puck up the far boards and sent a pass through the slot to an awaiting Sweatt, who beat Smith with a wrister for his fourth tally of the season.
A textbook pass from F Jani Lajunen to an awaiting Victor Bartley resulted in a lamp-lighting slap shot from the far circle to tie the game at one. The goal marked the first of the season for the 24-year old Ottawa, Ontario native Bartley, and also marked the first point of the season for Lajunen.
Although Milwaukee out shot Chicago 22-10 after two periods, the Admirals didn't quite impress on the power-play. They went 0/4 on the man-advantage through the first 40 minutes, which is even more unimpressive seeing that it is against the leagues 30th-ranked penalty kill team. It was a trend that continued through the rest of the game, and coach Dean Evason was none too pleased with what Milwaukee looked like on the power-play:
"... We're trying to simplify our game, we miss Taylor Beck. It's not an excuse, but he's the guy that controls the play for us, and when our power-play was successful early, he was the guy who was providing us with a lot of offensive situations and tries. Having said that, we've asked our group to simplify their game. We're very stale on our power-play right now, but our penalty-kill has been good for the most part... "
After a scoreless second period, Wolves F Darren Archibald scored the games lone power-play goal to give the Wolves a 2-1 lead just nine seconds into their man-advantage. After Admirals D Joonas Jarvinen was called for for holding with just over five minutes to go, Archibald put away his own rebound for his first of the season.
With time quickly winding down, Milwaukee used their timeout in preparation to pull Smith from goal for an extra attacker. Just :12 after the time out, F Gabriel Bourque managed to sneak the puck through traffic and tied the game with 1:25 to go in regulation.
What looked like a game that would be heading to overtime, Milwaukee stunned the arena when Chris Mueller tallied the game winner with :20 left on the clock. Mueller snapped the puck just inside the right post for his 9th of the season.
The Admirals return to home ice Wednesday evening to play the Texas Stars at the BMO for the first time this season. Looking ahead to the match up, Texas sits in 4th place in the South Division with a record that is almost identical to Milwaukees record. The team also riding a three-game winning streak like the Admirals are. In the two teams first meeting of the season, Texas topped Milwaukee by a score of 3-1 back on October 24th.
Also worth noting...
The Admirals recalled G Zoltan Hetenyi from Cincinnati, and reassigned G Magnus Hellberg to the Cyclones yesterday afternoon. Hetenyi, a native of Budapest, Hungary, posted a 2-4 record with a .878 save percentage and 3.02 goals against average in the seven games he played with the Cyclones. I asked coach Evason about the goalie swap, and he assured us that Hellberg is only in Cincinnati temporarily and is expected to be back in town Sunday:
"Our thought process was more for Hellberg to play two games back-to-back, he hasn't done that over here and we had an opportunity for him to do that... It's just a real good opportunity for him to, not only play hockey, but to see how he reacts to two-in-two nights with travel. It's more of an opportunity for him to see what it's like to play back-to-back."

Canadian Business Spending Shows No Sign of Taking Off
By Paul Vieira
That recovery in business investment the Bank of Canada is hoping for might take even longer than anticipated to materialize.
The latest edition of the Bank of Canada's business outlook survey — a poll it uses to help guide interest-rate policy — suggests weak domestic demand and global economic uncertainty are weighing on Canadian companies, forcing them to rethink investment and hiring plans. The polling offers no sign that investment in productivity-enhancing equipment is set to take off and drive Canada's economic engine. The central bank is counting on such spending, as well as an increase in exports, to give Canada's highly-indebted consumers a break from doing all the heavy lifting in boosting the economy.
In terms of planned spending on new machinery and equipment, 34% of firms surveyed by the central bank said they expected to boost their investment levels over the next 12 months. That marked the lowest reading on this polling question since the third quarter of 2009.
Meanwhile, 40% of companies said they were maintaining spending at current levels and 27% indicated that spending cuts were in the offing.
The central bank said firms have decided to either postpone capital-spending initiatives, or shift to less-risky or smaller investments, such as the repair of existing equipment.
"The weak reading on capital spending … [fits] well with the recently dovish messaging from the Bank of Canada," said Avery Shenfeld, chief economist at CIBC World Markets. "We see better capital spending in 2014 — but we'll need firmer global growth to raise business sentiment on that front."
Just over half of the companies surveyed said they expected sales to pick up over the next 12 months, but not at any kind of torrid pace, partly because they expect U.S. expansion to be muted.
Less than half the Canadian companies surveyed said they planned to add workers over the next 12 months, which was little changed from a survey three months ago.

The company was formed in 2001 when the love for nature, ecology and a healthier lifestyle took shape in the northern Aegean island, the evergreen Thassos. Since then, the cultivation of Thassos olive (Olea europea var. Thassos Throuba) is made exclusively in accordance with organic farming standards, without chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
We also process and package its fruit in order to produce mainly table olives and olive oil. With time, and detecting market needs for clean and quality food a "Protected Designation of Origin" product was created. It is subjected only to mild processing, without heat treatment (pasteurization), and it contains only a small amount of salt compared with similar product in the market. Attention is also paid to the packaging of the olive fruit - durable, impervious to oxygen, in modified atmosphere - so the olive is not oxidized and it preserves its unique characteristics of flavor and aroma. While the oil is extracted at an external independent unit (mill), special attention is given to temperatures, which are developed in the process, so that the final product contains all the excellent features of an Extra Virgin Olive Oil of Thassos (Protected Geographical Indication). If the conditions are right, then we produce Early harvest olive oil. The name 'Velouitinos' which accompanies all products is a unique and original concept created specifically to highlight the unique qualitative characteristics of olives, olive oil, but also of the perennial trees from which they are produced. It corresponds to a character as presented in the original etiquettes of Velouitinos, and nowadays constitutes a point of reference for them.

Cleveland, OH - Cleveland native Alex Wyse will return to his home state of Ohio in December as the national tour of "Wicked" comes back to PlayhouseSquare. Running at the State Theatre December 4, 2013 – January 5, 2014, Wyse is thrilled to bring the "untold story" of the witches of Oz back to northeast Ohio.
Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One – born with emerald-green skin – is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. "Wicked" tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, and how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.
Wyse had some time to correspond with Examiner.com about his return to Ohio and about the tour.
Kate Miller: How long has it been since you've been in the Ohio / Cleveland area?
Alex Wyse: The last time I was in Cleveland was two years ago. It's been too long, and I'm so excited to come back and visit my first love – Swensons Drive In.
KM: Tell me about your arts community ties from growing up in the Buckeye State. Which local organizations influenced you the most in your career?
AW: I don't think I could have asked for a better arts education than if I'd grown up in New York City. The Cleveland theatre community is smart, adventurous, and nurturing. I worked with Heights Youth Theater, Cain Park, Stagecrafters, The Beck Center, Beachwood Community Theater, Kalliope Stage, Mercury Summer Stock, The Halle Theater, The Cleveland Lyric Opera, The Cleveland Play House, and more. All these places helped to shape me into the performer and person I am today.
KM: Did you grow up in an arts-based family? And did you always want to be a performer?
AW: I grew up in a family that loves and appreciates the arts. They always encouraged me to follow my passions, which is the best thing a parent can do for their child. And I guess I settled for acting because my earliest dreams of being a Magician-Puppeteer didn't pan out.
KM: What was your audition for "Wicked" like?
AW: It was fast and furious, and before I knew what had hit me, I was being fitted for handmade boots.
KM: When you found out you were going to be on the tour, what were some of your first reactions?
AW: A whole mix of emotions! I was honored to be a part of such a great show, but I was sad to have to leave New York. Then I found out I'd be playing my hometown, and I signed that contract. I signed it so hard.
KM: What are some of the first things you like to do when arriving in a new city?
AW: Buy Ramen noodles and go to sleep.
KM: Tell me about your role in "Wicked".
AW: I play Boq, a (remarkably handsome) munchkin who is hopelessly in love with Glinda. However, Glinda does not return my affections. Chaos ensues!
KM: What's your favorite thing about the story of "Wicked"?
AW: The soaring melodies and heartfelt story aside, "Wicked" is wickedly funny.
KM: Why should Clevelanders come see the show?
AW: Because everyone can find something to love… the way I love the Galley Boy at Swensons Drive In.
• "Wicked" uses 250 pounds of dry ice per show on Broadway; it will use about 200 pounds per show on the road.
• The electrics department uses enough power to supply approximately twelve houses. Including the sound and automation departments, the total would increase to eighteen houses.
• "Wicked" uses 8-10 miles of cable in the electrics department on Broadway; it will use about 4-5 miles of cable on the road.
• 1,000 feet of steel cable have been used to restring the flying monkey wings during year one of the Broadway run.
"Wicked" runs at the State Theatre of PlayhouseSquare December 4, 2013 – January 5, 2014. For more information and tickets, call 216-241-6000 or visit www.playhousesquare.com.

Report Bird Observations [New]
Site PMR03: The Rivanna Trail – Riverview Park
Riverview Park provides a great area to go for a walk or just enjoy the outdoors. A portion of the Rivanna Trail goes through the park and another trail forms a loop through riparian forest, and open scrubby fields. The large open fields are a great place for blooming wildflowers and attract numerous butterflies during the warmer months of the year. Watch for red-spotted purples, eastern and black swallowtails, and the occasional passing monarch. These fields are also home to numerous indigo buntings whose high metallic chips sound similar to the northern cardinal. When you reach the river, scan the overhanging branches for eastern phoebes and their constantly wagging tails. Check the open water for the occasional family of wood ducks or perhaps a chubby little muskrat swimming towards the far shore. The woods along the river host dozens of Carolina chickadees and tufted titmice along with a few families of Carolina wrens. These are joined in migration by yellow-billed cuckoos and a myriad of warblers. Once the cold weather comes, watch out for large flocks of American robins as they descend on the woods in mass, at times covering every branch in site.
From Quarry Park return to SR 20/Monticello Avenue. Turn left (north) and continue for 0.4 miles to Meade Avenue. Turn right on Meade Avenue and proceed 0.6 miles to Chesapeake Street. Bear left (south) for 0.3 miles to Chesapeake Street. Turn left (east) and follow it for 0.6 miles to the end of the road. Turn left and go north into the park.

Resource Of The Week 9/1/10: CUDA By Example
This week's recommended resource is for anyone gearing up for NVidia's GPU Technology Conference at the end of this month, and comes straight from two senior developers in the CUDA software platform team, the recently released CUDA By Example.
CUDA by Example, written by two senior members of the CUDA software platform team, shows programmers how to employ this new technology. The authors introduce each area of CUDA development through working examples. After a concise introduction to the CUDA platform and architecture, as well as a quick-start guide to CUDA C, the book details the techniques and trade-offs associated with each key CUDA feature. You'll discover when to use each CUDA C extension and how to write CUDA software that delivers truly outstanding performance.
Major topics covered include
- Parallel programming
- Thread cooperation
- Constant memory and events
- Texture memory
- Graphics interoperability
- Atomics
- Streams
- CUDA C on multiple GPUs
- Advanced atomics
- Additional CUDA resources
All the CUDA software tools you'll need are freely available for download from NVIDIA.
This book is actually the foundation (I'm told) of a recent Webinar series on CUDA, sponsored by Nvidia. This book, and many others, is available in the VizWorld store.

By Julie Marks, Ivanhoe Health Correspondent
PARIS (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Researchers at the 21st Annual Congress of the European Association of Urology in Paris report exciting findings on the use of magnetic nanoparticles for patients with prostate cancer.
Scientists know thermotherapy using biocompatible magnetic nanoparticles inhibits prostate cancer growth in mice. Now, however, researchers are using the novel therapy in humans with the disease.
The new therapy is one of the first applications of nanotechnology in medicine and involves the heating of nanoparticles in a magnetic field. With the technique, it is possible to heat up almost every region of the body within very small ranges.
Investigators in Germany used the therapy on nine patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer. The patients had six weekly thermotherapy sessions that lasted 60 minutes each. Treatments were delivered using the first AC magnetic field applicator for use in humans.
Study results show the nanoparticles were retained in the prostate for several months. No toxic side effects were observed. Seven of the nine patients experienced a moderate decline in PSA levels.
"Interstitial heating using magnetic nanoparticles was feasible in patients with previously irradiated and locally recurrent prostate cancer," study authors say. "Further optimism will focus on intraprostatic nanoparticle distribution and patient tolerance at higher magnetic field strengths. In the future, this treatment modality may be suitable for combination with irradiation in patients with localized prostate cancer."

UK: Grab a Samsung Galaxy Note for just £396.71 (white) or £418.15 (dark blue) at Amazon
In the UK, the Samsung Galaxy Note is now more affordable than it's ever been. We are of course referring to a SIM-free and unlocked unit. You can get one in white for just £396.71 with free shipping. Or if you'd rather get the dark blue version, that's currently being sold for £418.15. These offers are now available at Amazon UK.
In both cases, you can actually get even lower prices (though not by much) if you choose not to purchase directly from Amazon, but from one of the Marketplace merchants. Because the price difference isn't that high, we'd stick to the tried and true Amazon itself, but it's your choice after all.
Back when it launched, the 'dark blue' Galaxy Note was being sold for no less than £594, and the white version debuted being priced at £538.80. So you can see that Amazon's current pricing of this smartphone is a lot cheaper. If you wanted to pick up one of these phone/tablet hybrids but always thought they were too expensive, now's your chance – take advantage of this offer.

Morning MoneyBeat Europe: U.S. Lead Should Give Bulls Something To Aim At
Good Morning Europe
Local markets return to the post-Easter fray with the best week for the S&P 500 since last July to play catchup with, and, according to the spreadbettors, the big three mainboards are expected to open higher.
The region remains overshadowed by Ukraine, but, as we have seen often in the past, tensions there are no barrier to stock market rises as long as the situation appears contained. As long as it does, the week's trading is likely to be dominated by the tech sector. Both Apple and Facebook will post their latest numbers, with all to play for after Google's disappointed investors last week.
There'll also be a chance to get a handle on the euro-zone growth picture, with a key survey of the French and German manufacturing sectors due. That will have to wait though, as Tuesday's economic numbers are a bit second-tier, and, in any case largely focused on the U.S..
By David Cottle
Market Snapshot: U.S. stocks (Monday close): DJIA up 0.3%, Nasdaq up 0.6%, S&P 500 up 0.4%. Nikkei ends Tuesday down 0.9%. June FTSE and S&P now both flat. Brent crude now down 12 cents at $109.83. Gold down $1.80 at $1286.70. EUR/USD now at $1.3796, just above $1.3794 late Monday in New York. USD/JPY at ¥102.49, below ¥102.60. Ten-year T-note yields 2.70%, Bund 1.51% and Gilt 2.66%.
Watch For: U.S. house price index, existing home sales. Richmond Fed manufacturing index. Euro-zone consumer confidence.

Timing System
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Dear ACA
I respectfully request that you improve your timing system to the pencil and paper method.
Apart from taking more than 24 hours to post, the results from the Valmont race are clearly whack.
Every non-ACA event I've done over the last year or more, including both road and MTB events, both around the US and also in Europe, have always had faster - and more accurate - results than you are able to provide with your new system. This is even true for very large "citizen" races like gran fondos.
The ACA's mandating use of their timing system for Gold and Silver events actually detracts from the racer experience; BoulderRacing's decision to use their own timing system for their events, at the expense of being demoted to a "bronze" level event, is looking to be a brilliant stand for creating a better rider experience.
For your chip timing system, you were sold nothing but a bill of goods. It is well past time for you to abandon this white elephant, and most likely the executives that keep championing it as well.
ACA made the ACA system
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
ACA made the ACA system optional for all events. Gold and Silver events just need to use a timing system, either ACA's or other system, according to the 2012 policy.

On top of the disaster with timing/results and callups, what the hell is up with starting SM4 ten minutes late and then pulling 2/3 of the field a lap early? A $50 cross race should be *PERFECT*, not one where most of the racers get short-changed.
I can't imagine ever going to a DBC race ever again if this is the best they can do.

Are there differences in the components of saliva among species? Also, do the functions of saliva differ between species?
It could be better answered if you specified which species you were interested in. Broadly from Wikipedia, snakes have venom, some swifts have gummy saliva to help in the building of nests, spiders produce their web from salivary glands etc. This is too broad a topic. The human salivary composition is found on the Wikipedia page I have linked. Salivary compositions can change with habits which have been detailed in this article. To compare, I am also providing the link to an article on the saliva composition of an assassin bug.

Papakolea Tribute to Prince Kuhio
Papakolea is such a very special place. If you're not familiar with its incredible history (reads like a film, hey it was a film!) Actually our film documented the rich legacy of this small Native Hawaiian neighborhood in urban Honolulu. Once a place where people set up make shift dwellings when they were evicted from "squatters town" in the 1920s, this hillside was one of the first settlements for Hawaii maoli (native people of the islands) who had lost their agrarian lifestyles and their farm lands. Forced to assimilate western ways of land ownership and a money based society (vs barter) and move to the city to survive, Papakolea is where many of them settled, and where many of the Queen's guards eventually came to live after the overthrow. The story of how these prime lands were deemed one of the state's official homesteads ($1 a year lease to eligible Native Hawaiians who must prove a 50% blood quantum to retain residency on the land but cannot own the land) is fascinating. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt even visited the ladies of Papakolea in the 1930s having heard about their struggle with Congress, year after year, on behalf of their small enclave of Native Hawaiian families. Long story short they prevailed. They bucked Congress and won the right to live in these hills and have been there ever since.
The Papakolea Hawaiian Civic Club hosts an annual event to honor Prince Kuhio and this year's festival was very special. Contributing artists included Makaha Sons, Darren Benitez, Moke Boy Kamealoha, Ainsley Halemanu, Papakolea, Hula Halau Ka Lik o Kapalai, The Big Deal, Waimanalo Sunset Band, and other special guests. Big mahalo to Puka Asing who allowed us into the kitchen during such high stress, cooking for over 1000 guests, ooh so ono the grindz! For more video visit Pacific Network

TULSA, Okla. — The widow of a man who died in a March 6 accident at the Cintas plant here has sued the uniform provider and an equipment manufacturer in connection with the incident, according to court records.
Attorneys representing Amalia Diaz Torres, widow of Eleazar Torres-Gomez, filed the civil lawsuit July 16 here in Tulsa County District Court. Defendants are Cintas Corp., Lavatec Inc. and three employees of Cintas' Tulsa plant.
Torres-Gomez, 46, became trapped in an industrial dryer that was in operation. Other workers found his body in the dryer about 20 minutes after it had started. The lawsuit says he died of "trauma and thermal injury."
There are claims that a conveyor system that moves clothes between washers and dryers in the facility dragged the victim into the dryer. Cintas President/CEO Scott Farmer wrote in a letter to company employees following the incident that the victim "climbed on top of a moving conveyor to dislodge a jam, contrary to all safety training and procedures, and fell into a dryer."
The negligence suit alleges the victim died because Cintas and Lavatec failed "to inspect, service, monitor and service machinery" and because Cintas employees "allowed Eleazar Torres-Gomez to work on dangerous machinery without supervision or providing devices used to protect Eleazar Torres-Gomez from injury."
Pam Lowe, vice president of corporate communications for Cintas, confirmed that the company has been served with the lawsuit. When asked if Cintas has made any changes to the equipment in Tulsa that was involved in Torres-Gomez's death or to the loading or unloading procedures there, Lowe said she couldn't comment due to the pending litigation.
In response to the allegations the lawsuit contains, Lowe offered the following: "Employee safety has always been a top priority for Cintas, demonstrated by our safety record that is 20-30% better than the industry average," she says. "We continue to stand by our commitment to the safety and well-being of our employee-partners. We are deeply saddened by the accident that occurred this spring and continue to fully cooperate with OSHA's investigation."
A message seeking comment from Lavatec regarding the lawsuit was not returned.
The lawsuit seeks actual damages and punitive damages exceeding $10,000 each.
Torres-Gomez's death prompted several Democratic members of Congress to ask the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to investigate alleged machinery safety hazards at Cintas' industrial laundries nationwide.
Widow Sues Cintas, Lavatec Over Accident

For more on 2010-11 Area School Report Cards: Elyria gets a 'B' while Westwood scores its first 'excellent' rating
Students in Lorain County are scoring better on state achievement tests and it is being reflected in the report card districts receive annually from the state.
The Ohio Department of Education released the most recent report cards today, which looks at the 2010-11 school year. All of Lorain County's 14 public school districts have grades of C or better on a scale that runs from excellent with distinction, which equates to an A-plus, to academic emergency, essentially an F.
Lorain Schools, which has chronically performed below other districts in the county, has moved up to continuous improvement this year. The district of roughly 7,600 students met the state standard for 5 out of 26 indicators, a sizable improvement from last year when it met just one and was rated in academic watch.
Superintendent Cheryl Atkinson has not returned repeated phone calls to discuss the data, but has previously said areas of improvement were across the board. In 18 areas, Atkinson has said modest improvements can be seen even though the overall score falls below the state standard for proficiency.
Atkinson is set to leave Lorain Schools in the coming weeks. She is expected to take over the DeKalb County Schools in Georgia, where a formal vote by the board to hire her could come as soon as Monday.
But there's no doubt the data — which was released to the media early for story preparation — has made many local superintendents happy.
For the first time since 2006, Elyria will be rated as effective — a B grade for a district that has lingered in continuous improvement for several years.
"I'm actually very excited to be returning to the designation of effective," Superintendent Paul Rigda said. "We all worked very hard to get back there together, from our students to staff to teachers to central office administrators and parents. This is truly a team win."
Rigda said Elyria has made steady improvement over the years to reach effective.
"But we are not stopping there," he said. "We are going to get stronger and stronger. We got 15 out of 26 indicators and three of the ones we didn't make we were less than 2 percentage points away. We are very close."
For years, the Sheffield-Sheffield Lake Schools has been very close to excellent and this year Superintendent Will Folger said it is close no more. For the first time, the district has earned the A grade.
"It's finally paying off," he said of the steady work the district has done to improve. "I have to give this to our students and staff. Obviously, their hard work is paying off."
Folger credited improvement to a plan that includes curriculum changes district wide, more services for at-risk students and all day, everyday kindergarten. The result is
William Barr Elementary, Forestlawn Elementary and Sheffield Middle School all are rated as excellent schools.
"But we have two schools that are effective, so there is more improvement that is needed right there," he said. "Today, you are going to see a bunch of happy campers in our buildings, but we still have a ways to go."
Amherst Schools has an A or excellent rating for the 10th straight year, but even with its leaders' jubilation over the continued success, Superintendent Steve Sayers said there is room for improvement.
"Although our performance index has improved to 102.8, we still want to see further improvement," he said. "Value-added is something that will be a focus for us this year. Our goal is to further individualize and differentiate instruction so all students achieve at least a year's growth."
Beyond just the report card rating, Sayers said the district has many other goals that can't be measured with a test.
"We also want to stay focused on those items that are components of a high quality education that are not measured on the state report card," he said. "For example, things like character development, what it means to be a good citizen, the importance of community service and developing good communication skills."
Amherst is not alone as a consistently high-performing district. Once again, Avon Lake Schools and Avon Schools are among the top performing in the districts, earning the ranks of excellent with distinction and excellent, respectively. Columbia Schools and North Ridgeville Schools also are rated excellent with distinction.
Firelands Schools moved up from effective to excellent this year.
And Clearview Schools, Keystone Schools, Midview Schools, Oberlin Schools and Wellington Schools all earned effective ratings.

TACT Today
The Adolescent and Children's Trust (TACT) is the UK's largest charity provider of fostering and adoption services. Working in nine offices across England, Wales and Scotland, we are dedicated to providing effective services and campaigning on behalf of children and young people in care and families.
Over the years, TACT's core work has been the provision of foster placements for children in the care of local authorities. However, in recent years we have merged and joined up with other organisations and have diversified our areas of work. In 2007, we merged with the Independent Adoption Services (IAS) and have integrated their work into our care services. More recently, TACT joined together with the charity Parents for Children (PfC). PfC had a nationwide reputation in providing fostering and adoption placements for children with profound needs.
TACT also seeks to influence opinion and raise awareness of issues affecting children in care. In 2007, we merged with Children Law UK (CLUK), an organisation working to benefit children involved in the justice system. CLUK has now been incorporated into TACT's external affairs department, which campaigns, lobbies parliament and works in the media on behalf of children in care.
TACT is a children's charity and everything we do is for the benefit of children in care and on the fringes of care. Operating profits are invested back into our service provision to ensure our carers and the children in our care receive the best support we can provide.

Pros: feel and look like any other deck of cards.
Cons: tricky to dry
I thought the cards would be big laminated sheets but they look and feel like a real deck of cards and are easy to use in the water. We love them and will probably buy a few more decks soon to bring on vacation and give as gifts.

OKLAHOMA CITY - Junior Ally Carda has been named a Top 10 Finalist for the 2014 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year Award, as announced by the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) of America and USA Softball on Wednesday.
The award, which is considered the most prestigious honor in Division I women's softball, is designed to recognize outstanding athletic achievement by female collegiate softball players across the country. This year's finalists are comprised of four seniors, three juniors and three sophomores, representing seven universities and five conferences.
The top three finalists will be announced on May 21, with the winner of the 2014 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year Award revealed on May 27.
Carda leads the Bruins with a 1.71 earned run average, a 27-3 record and 189 strikeouts in 179 2/3 innings. She has 16 complete games, nine solo shutouts and two saves, adding five double-figure strikeout games.
At the plate, she is second on the team with a .401 batting average, third with 11 home runs and tied for first with 50 runs batted in. Carda is also first in hits (61), multiple-hit games (15) and hit by pitches (15), second in multi-RBI contests (13), runs scored (47), total bases (106) and on base percentage (.526), third in doubles (10), slugging (.697) and stolen bases (9) and tied for third in sacrifice hits (5).
Carda entered this week tied for sixth in the nation in victories, tied for 12th in shutouts, tied for 46th in strikeouts and 49th in ERA. Offensively, she is tied for 24th in hit by pitches, 29th in on base percentage and tied for 36th in RBI.
In the Pac-12, the junior ranks in the Top 10 in 15 statistical categories. At the plate, she is first in hit by pitches, fourth in on base percentage, seventh in total bases and tied for seventh in RBI. In the circle, she is tied for first in saves, second in wins, third in strikeouts and fourth in ERA and innings.
Carda has started at six different positions for the Bruins, making 26 starts in the circle, nine at first base, six in left field, five in center, three at designated player and two in right field. She has produced four hitting streaks of at least six games, including a career-high, 13-game stretch from March 9 through April 4. Carda tossed her first career no-hitter in the season opener against Delaware on Feb. 6.
She has earned four weekly awards this season. Carda was the Pac-12 Conference Pitcher of the Week twice on Feb. 25 and March 25, while also receiving USA Softball and NFCA National Player of the Week honors on Feb. 25.
The second-ranked Bruins head to #3 Arizona State for a three-game series starting on Thursday at 7 p.m. and continuing Friday at 5:30 p.m. and Saturday at 3:30 p.m. All three contests will be televised live on Pac-12 Networks.

This southern European country is bounded on the east by the Adriatic Sea, on the south by the Ionian and Mediterranean seas, and on the west by the Tyrrhenian and Ligurian seas.
Italy can be divided into three distinct geographical regions: the southern side of the Alps where Italy borders France, Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia; the great plain of the Po valley from Turin to Venice; and the long and mountainous peninsula of central and southern Italy together with the large islands of Sardinia and Sicily.
Each of these regions has a distinctive and different type of weather and climate.
Occasionally all parts of Italy experience very high temperatures in summer and even autumn when the sirocco blows. This is a warm, humid wind which originates over North Africa and acquires its humidity over the Mediterranean.
A spell of sirocco weather in autumn often ends with very heavy rain accompanied by thunder. Sea temperatures around Italy are usually sufficiently warm to make bathing pleasant from mid-May until October, but the water can be surprisingly cold on warm sunny days in spring.
Alpine Italy
Including (with towns and cities in parentheses) Piemonte (Turin), Trentino Alto-Adige (Bolzano).
In the Italian Alps, where the higher mountains rise to above 3,500 m/11,500 ft, the climate is similar to that of the Swiss and Austrian Alps. Precipitation on the Italian side, however, is rather heavier. The lower slopes and valleys of the Italian Alps are also a little warmer both in summer and winter.
Summer tends to be the rainiest season and thunderstorms are frequent in spring, summer, and autumn. The mildest winters and warmest and sunniest summers are found in the region of lakes Maggiore, Como, and Garda. Here sunshine averages from three to four hours a day in winter and up to nine hours in summer. A föhn wind sometimes blows from the north, raising temperatures and lowering humidity.
The Po Valley and North Italian Plain
Including (with towns and cities in parentheses) Friuli-Venezia-Giulia (Trieste), Veneto (Venice, Verona), Lombardy (Milan), Emilia-Romagna (Bologna, Ravenna).
This is a remarkably flat and low-lying region of dense population and great agricultural productivity. It extends from Turin to Venice and almost as far as the port of Trieste. It has a distinctive climate with rain well distributed around the year.
The summers are as hot and almost as sunny as those in southern Italy. Winters are surprisingly cold for about three months. Fog, frost, and snow are quite frequent and this area is colder than Paris or London in midwinter.
Summer and autumn rainfall is often in the form of thunderstorms but the rain falls on a small number of days. Hours of sunshine range from an average of two to three a day in winter to nine in summer.
In winter the small area around Trieste is sometimes affected by strong and gusty winds, the bora, which bring very cold air from central Europe (see the tables for Milan and Venice).
Peninsular Italy and the Islands
Including (with towns and cities in parentheses) Liguria (Genoa), Tuscany (Florence, Pisa, Siena), Umbria (Perugia, Assisi), Campania (Monte Cassino, Naples, Pompei, Sorrento, Capri), Puglia (Brindisi), Lazio (Rome), Sardinia (Cagliari), Sicily (Palermo).
The long Italian peninsula, from Genoa and Rimini in the north to Reggio di Calabria and Brindisi in the south, has a mountainous interior where the Appennines rise to over 1,800 m/6,000 ft. The climate of the coastal areas is thus very different from that of the interior, particularly in winter. The higher areas are cold, wet, and often snowy.
The coastal regions, where most of the large towns are located, have a typical Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot and generally dry summers. The length and intensity of the summer dry season increases southwards (compare the tables for Rome, Naples, and Brindisi).
There is no great difference in the temperatures at sea level from north to south. The east coast of the peninsula is not as wet as the west coast. The east coast north of Pescara is occasionally affected by the cold bora winds in winter and spring, but the wind is less strong here than around Trieste.
The whole of peninsular Italy and the large islands of Sicily and Sardinia have very changeable weather in autumn, winter, and spring in marked contrast to the settled sunny weather of summer. Disturbed weather can continue into late May and may commence any time after early September.
Throughout the winter, however, cloudy rainy days alternate with spells of mild, sunny weather.
The least number of rainy days and the highest number of hours of sunshine occur in the extreme south of the mainland and in Sicily and Sardinia. Here sunshine averages from four to five hours a day in winter and up to ten or eleven hours in summer.
The heat of summer is usually moderated on the coast by daytime sea breezes, but the nights can occasionally be warm and even humid (see the tables for Palermo and Cagliari).

Loss Categories in Auto Accidents: Damages, Injuries, Disability & Death
If you've been in a car crash that was someone else's fault, you may be wondering what factors go into calculating how much compensation you deserve.
Winning a Personal Injury Lawsuit
First, let's take a step back. To win a personal injury lawsuit, you and your automobile accident attorney must prove:
- The other driver had a responsibility to avoid getting into an accident. (This is known as the duty of care.)
- The driver was negligent and caused an accident.
- You were injured as a result and suffered damages, or accident-related expenses.
The damages you suffered are directly related to the compensation you will receive. However, some states' negligence laws may allow you to recover additional compensation if the other driver was grossly negligent. (These are usually called punitive damages.) And if you shared any responsibility for the accident, your compensation may be decreased in direct proportion to your share of responsibility.
Types of Damages
The major categories of damages are:
- Medical expenses: Including past and future doctor's bills, hospital costs, physical therapy, prescription drugs and medical equipment for treating your accident-related injuries
- Damages to your property: Including the cost to repair or replace your motor vehicle, as well as any personal property (such as clothing) that was damaged or destroyed in the accident
- Temporary or permanent disability: Including compensation not only for the temporary or permanent inability to perform certain tasks, but also the cost of hiring someone (such as a cleaning service or lawn-care service) to do chores that you're unable to do
- Lost wages: Including time off work as you recover from your injuries, as well as any time you must take off for doctor's appointments and physical therapy
- Pain and suffering: Including compensation for physical pain, emotional pain and stress
- Other accident-related expenses
If a loved one was killed in an auto accident, then your family can file a special type of personal injury lawsuit known as a wrongful death lawsuit. When calculating compensation in a wrongful death situation, the attorneys, insurance companies and courts will look at a number of factors, including the person's age, earning potential, funeral costs, loss of employment benefits to his or her survivors, and loss of companionship to family members.

STO: OBerth Ship Now Available!
First used by Starfleet as a science ship and scout vessel in the late 23rd century, the Oberth class was phased out of service before the Dominion War. Recent improvements in modular ship construction and shield design have made the ship design viable for Lieutenant-rank missions. The Oberth has three weapon slots (2 fore, 1 aft) seats for three bridge officers (Ensign Engineering, Ensign Science and Ensign Tactical) and space for four console modifications (1 Engineering, 2 Science and 1 Tactical). It carries a crew of 80, and has a Enhanced Plasma Manifold console. This universal console may be placed in any console slot and when activated provides a short-duration increase to auxiliary and shield power levels, as well as repairing disabled auxiliary and shield subsystems. The Enhanced Plasma Manifold can be transferred to any other Federation vessel. Note: Purchasing this ship from the C-store unlocks it for all Federation characters on an account.
This is another starter ship for the Federation faction. The ship was first seen in Star Trek III: Search for Spock where the U.S.S. Grissom was sent to evaluate the Genesis planet before being destroyed by a Klingon Bird-of-Prey. The more unique aspect for this starter ship is the universal console that comes with the ship. It is transferable to another ship and will give that ship the Enchanced Plasma Manifold ability.
The Oberth is available at the C-Store for 800 Atari Tokens.

September 1, 2010

The Government now reports that over 18 million people have been affected by the floods. The death toll stands at 1,667. Over 1.2 million houses have been damaged or destroyed. Floodwaters are receding in many areas, and though there are concerns about standing water that remains in Punjab and other areas, the worst of the current flooding is taking place in Sindh.
Two areas in Sindh have been affected by major flooding since the last situation report. On Monday floodwaters entered Gaji Khuhwar, a town of 40,000 people in Warah tehsil, Qamber Shahdadkot district. Efforts to divert floodwaters from Warah town are ongoing. New flooding was also reported from Mehar and Khairpur Nathan Shah tehsils in neighbouring Dadu district. Dadu and Johi towns are under threat as floodwaters continue to move southwards through Hamal Lake. Flooding in this area has extended west and south from the Indus since an embankment was breached over two weeks ago, inundating Jacobabad and parts of Jaffarabad and Nasirabad districts in the neighboring province of Balochistan.
Further south, in Thatta district, almost 1,300 km2 of land are reported to have been flooded in recent days following a breach near Surjani last week, displacing more than half a million people. An estimated 400,000 people are believed to have moved to higher ground on the outskirts of Makli, near Thatta town, and along the Karachi-Hyderabad highway. Others have moved towards Golarchi in Badin district, to the east of Thatta. Floodwaters are now threatening the towns of Jati and Chohar Jamali, near the coast to the east of the Indus. Parts of the highway between Thatta and Badin has been submerged.
The cluster reports that 180 schools have been damaged in FATA (mainly in Frontier Region D.I. Khan). The total number of flood-damaged schools in the country stands at 9,484. There is a need to provide temporary school structures as well as school supplies such as tents, school-in-a-box kits and recreation kits for fully damaged schools to ensure continuation of education during the transition period from tents to permanent buildings. Government schools in Punjab are due to reopen 14 September.
Latest figures show that more than 436 health facilities in affected areas have been damaged or destroyed. The cluster needs to prevent emerging health threats and outbreaks through fast, timely, effective and coordinated joint health interventions. There is also a need to ensure that requested medical supplies reach affected communities in time. Increased numbers of suspected malaria cases are being recorded in Sindh and Balochistan provinces.
Children under five make up approximately 14% of the affected population, while 8% are pregnant and lactating women. At least 6% are elderly or otherwise vulnerable. The cluster's priorities for rapid nutrition assistance at this point are children under five and PLW. There is also a need to establish community-level acute malnutrition programmes in affected areas. Key messages on infant and young child feeding and hygiene also need to be disseminated in the affected areas.
The latest figures show 1.25 million houses have been damaged or destroyed. There are major needs for emergency shelter in all affected provinces, but in particular in Sindh and Punjab, where coverage is 3% and 5% respectively. Though more organisations are scaling up their responses in Punjab and Sindh, ongoing flooding in Thatta district in southern Sindh is expected to stretch resources even further. Movement of people back to their homes in areas where waters are receding means that relief and early recovery responses will need to be carried out in parallel. Some relief camps are being closed in southern Punjab (as of 31 August, 3 of the initial 11 camps managed by the army have been closed; of the 214 other sites, there have so far been no reports of closure).

Rated 2.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by worldmarketobsession LOVE!! I put these in a cute jar as a decor. Everyone comments on them and thinks they are awesome. Fun and different!! January 7, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by clair73 Not functional My son (7) was so excited when he saw these. He begged me to buy them and eventually used his own money to buy them and couldn't wait to use them at home. As soon as the lead was worn down and it was time to sharpen them, we had problems. I had to use a knife and do it for him - then we realized that it only has about half an inch of colored lead on each side - it does not go all the way through. There are pretty for decorative use, but are not functional. June 27, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Celticharper1 Disappointing! Color is Only in 1/2 Inch Per End! Realistically, these pencils were a big disappointment. YES it does say on the tag, for decorative use only, however...most like I did, will NOT read that, because not many are going to *display faux colored pencils in their home* (why? Because it doesn't make any sense). I was happy to see it noted openly online that they are decorative, but it also indicates they can be colored with, yes...maybe one picture, before you have to sharpen with a knife to discover, the rest of the stick is solid, with no color. Pencils are commonly expected to perform, most realistically aren't going to even consider they might be fake pencils before purchase. I think World Market should just stop selling them or get some that are made to work for some reasonable amount of time. The saddest thing is, the color that IS in the sticks is vibrant, there's simply not enough to do much with though. December 20, 2015

He lounged on the living room sofa, surveying the surroundings. 'Tis a cozy little space, he mused, the ambiance heightened by simple, yet striking decorations his resourceful wife had arranged around the room. White lights gave off a healthy glow at each window. A wreath with pine cones and bright red bow greets visitors at the front door.
The Scotch pine Christmas tree looked especially spruced up this year, he mused. For one of the first times in many years, the usually sorry sapling stood erect, once positioned. The next day, it didn't lean to one side as its predecessors were wont to do, and, wonder of wonders, the strings of lights all remained lit even after arranged on the tree.
The decorations, largely an eclectic assortment of ornaments either purchased, given as gifts or fashioned by hand by his daughters, providing a family history at a glance.
Under the evergreen rests a modest pile of hand-wrapped gifts to be opened Christmas Eve. He speculates on the contents, but is content to wait until the appointed hour. Not a bad wrapping job on those he attempted, he thinks, while acknowledging never having quite mastered how to gift-wrap any size container without using either too much or too little paper and leaving various wrinkles and crinkles around the edges.
One tradition, started years ago, continues. The tag on every gift to family members won't bear their name but rather a descriptive phrase: "To the daughter who drank from a top-cup" . . . "to my Longbranch Hustler from yer Dancin' Cowboy . . ., " "To Rammy from Dad," and each recipient will know exactly what is meant.
Music on the stereo fills the air – tunes from days of yore that are rarely heard on commercial radio – conjuring images of family Christmases past.
Back then, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's rendition of "Lo, How a Rose 'er Blooming" was the signal to the siblings to half tumble down the steps on Christmas morning to cast excited gazes under the lighted tree. There would be no ripping into packages, the Mother insists, but rather, one gift at a time would be opened before it was the next person's turn, one way of savoring the magical moments that would pass all too quickly.
From the kitchen wafts an aroma of freshly-baked cookies. The iced pecan kind his spouse just made reminds him of his father – these were his favorite. The dad is no longer around in body, but remains alive in spirit, and his famous phrases and legacy will be remembered and celebrated in these next days.
A lighted nativity scene arranged on a table – a miniature stable with ceramic figurines and assorted barnyard animals – is the same one his parents had purchased their first year of marriage in 1942. It's his inheritance; the family memories triggered by the pastoral scene have priority over any monetary value it may have, if any.
He remembers that an annual special event in his neighborhood will take place before the weekend ends – the Belmont Estates subdivision luminary display will start at nightfall, weather permitting, on Sunday, Dec. 21. Motorists can enter the subdivision from Rt. 33 west or from Erikson Avenue and drive slowly through the candle-lined thoroughfares, allowing the glow of thousands of candles to warm and brighten the silent night, holy night. What a way to glow.
He opens the biblical text and read the first chapter of the New Testament book of Luke. He is struck by the heightened emotions of the characters who played such pivotal roles in events leading up to the birth of the Christ Child – Elizabeth and Zechariah, parents-to-be of John the Baptist; and Mary, Elizabeth's cousin; and Joseph, Mary's fiance.
In each case, surprise, shock, even disbelief in response to heavenly messages gave way to eloquent statements of faith and exceeding joy when the prophetic pronouncements were fulfilled.
Christmas is a-comin', and after all these years, the yuletide observer is still anxious, excited as a youngster with a season pass to a theme park, but able to bide his time, because he is fortunate to have loved ones and extended family to help commemorate and stretch this day of days.
The larger world, alas, has difficulty proclaiming, "All is calm, all is bright," for the message of the season, peace on Earth, good will to humankind, has yet to sink in. But here, in the living room of a bungalow in this little town of Belmont, this celebrant recounts numerous reasons to sing enthusiastically, "Joy to the world, the Lord has come." He prays that many others in numerous places will echo this sentiment and strive to live out its meaning.
Here's a toast to Christmas, he says aloud, and God bless us, everyone.

Wisner agrees that tablets are a problem. "That
chemical has a way of eating away at the parts in the tank. Rubber
is most vulnerable," he says.
Waite recommends Lime-A-Way. "Buy the big bottle,"
he says. "Once a year, dump it in the overflow tube, let it
sit a day or overnight when no one's home and that will help remove
the deposits.
"I have access to much stronger chemicals, but
anything lime-eating or calcium-eating will work. You can buy Lime-A-Way
in a supermarket or hardware store."
Let's talk toilet paper
"Test it," says Waite. "Put a handful
in the toilet. Stir it up. It should break up, and if it doesn't
break up right away, get rid of it."
Paper that won't dissolve easily can create problems,
he says.
The toilet manufacturers do some testing, but they
don't give further recommendations on toilet paper.
"I don't think we've ever given specific guidelines,"
says Simons. "Obviously, the quantity used will play a part.
We wouldn't recommend paper towels or napkins in the toilets."
The worst thing you can do, not surprisingly, is use way too much
Wisner agrees. "If you have somebody who's using
an inordinate amount of paper in addition to the waste, it's possible
for it to get clogged up."
This is more important now that toilets are designed
to use less water. "Older ones were designed to use 3.5 gallons,
and before that, five gallons. So the whole tank emptied so you
could flush the toilet," says Wisner.
With less water moving around in today's toilets,
more toilet paper is a bigger hazard.
What can you do to make sure you have enough water?
First of all, says Wisner, figure out how much water
you actually have in there, because that's the first step to understanding
what "enough" is.
"It's pretty hard to say -- this is exactly how
much you need to have in there," says Wisner. "In many
tanks, there's a line that's built into the mold that's a water
Still, "many people don't know if they have a
1.6 gallon or not," Wisner says. "In some cases it's printed
on the tank and sometimes it's not. The guidelines I would try to
get people to look at is to cut back on the amount of water until
you can't get an effective flush.
"Sometimes they have a lazy flush, little holes
that get filled with calcium deposits -- a coat hanger can help
with that. Sometimes the flapper isn't staying open the right amount.
If it stays open longer than it needs to, you'll use more water
than you need to," he says.
If you want to make sure you're using enough water
to avoid problems, Waite has this advice: "Change the flapper,"
he says. "And set the water level high."
Wisner agrees. "If you don't have it set high
enough, and you don't have the flapper arranged correctly, you won't
get an effective flush. So then people end up holding the lever
down or flushing twice."
That's a sign you need a new flapper.
"The flapper is the thing that deteriorates first,"
Wisner says. "Sometimes the condition of the water is that
you'll see it bleached to an off-white. The cost of the flapper
is much less than the cost of the water over the long run."
