Open Source products have as many followers as opponents. In this article, you don't find any essay, who have right. I think the suitability of Open Source is best determined on a case-by-case basis. On the internet you can find many articles about pros of Open Source solutions. Really often there are arguments like: no costs, rapid development, free updates and so on. Definitely these are the benefits, but are generally poorly established – the context is missing. Let me give you an example. Open Source ERP system, you may think – great! I can have useful tool for free, but wait… is it really for free? What about implementation costs? What about support? What about updates? What about new dedicated features? In some cases, this Open Source product may be much more expensive than commercial one.
What I want to tell you is that you have to be very careful before you choose between Open Source and Closed Source products. You have to get familiar with the benefits of both solutions. Mobeelizer's SDKs are distributed under GNU Affero General Public License. In this article, I would like to show you benefits of fact that Mobeelizer's SDKs are Open Source, but it won't be a simple list of them. I would like to give you real world examples how to reap this benefits.
Really often Close Source solutions updates are expensive. Imagine that you are using stable version of some SDK and in next release there will be 10 new features available. For your business only one of them is important, but you have to pay for all of them. Mobeelizer updates are always for free. You can download version of your choice and modify it anytime you want.
Bug fix waiting time
Mobeelizer provides free support for all of the SDKs, if you find bug that blocks the opportunity to further develop of your software, you can report it and we will fix it as soon as posible. Here is the great benefit for you. You don't have to wait for next iteration to get the bug fix. You can download the code from github repository and build it just by yourself. Any extra time won't be lost. Because we are using github to share our code our users can also fix bugs by themselves and simply send us pull-request.
Vendor lock-in problem
Who make the decision about next release? You whether your vendor? Imagine the situation when you found some bugs in bought SDK, you reported them but your vendor delays fixing them. You have to release new version of your product but you can't. You also can't resolve issues by yourself because SDK is closed. Of course you can use SDK from different Vendor in that case, but what when engine of your solution base on that SDK? In Mobeelizer that problem is not becoming because SDKs are open source and you can change for example just Rest Client and still using OR Mapper. You can also fix bugs by yourself, you are not addicted to Mobeelizer support team.
Testing costs
This benefit is for you as great as for Mobeelizer. Because Mobeelizer SDKs are Open Source, many developers, who in the future may not be Mobeelizer clients, are analyzing usability of SDKs. What is it mean for you? More tests equals better quality. This kind of testers have also excellent impact for usability improvement.
Scalable in both directions
Imagine that you have just started using Mobeelizer. You downloaded the latest version of our SDK. While developing, you noticed that you don't use features from last release, which weights pretty much. There is no problem to downgrade the version to save a few KB of application weight. And remember, it does't cost at all.
Licences do not limit or restrict who and how can use the software
Mobeelizer's SDK for mobile platforms was created to support differential synchronization using Mobeelizer HTTP API. Inside the SDK there are a few technologies used. There is OR Mapper based on XML mapping, there is also Mobeelizer Rest API client. You can use this SDK as you want, there is no problem to use it just as OR Mapper or just as tool to send data to the cloud. It is your choice and Licence permit you to do that.
On Mobeelizer github profile there is a few Open Source project for you. You can find there SDK for three most popular mobile platforms: Android, iOS and Windows Phone 7. There is also Java SDK which you can use for web applications, desktop applications or any others that base on Java. If you need to create your own SDK in any other technology you can also find there real world example how to use our HTTP API.

Scott Usher is entering his first season as a volunteer assistant coach at the University of Wyoming. Last season, Usher was a fifth year student assistant with the swimming and diving program while he finished his degree in Criminal Justice.
Usher is without a doubt the most decorated swimmer in the history of the University of Wyoming. In 2004, he became the first Wyoming swimmer to compete in the Olympic Games when he placed seventh in the world in the 200-meter breaststroke. He was a four-time First Team All-American and earned five total All-American honors during his storied career. He was a six time Mountain West Conference Champion and holds the conference and the University of Wyoming record in both the 100 and 200 breaststroke events. During his career at Wyoming, Usher won 35 of 36 dual meet breaststroke races.
He has been a member of the United States National Team since 2004 and has competed in numerous national and international meets. Most recently, in August of 2006 he placed second in the 100 breaststroke and third in the 200 breaststroke at the ConocoPhillips National Championships, securing his spot on the US National Team.

About Soldat FHQ, Military Replicas and Books at Your Fingertips!
SOLDAT began in 1987. Frustrated with the lack of publications dealing with the subject of German Army Combat Uniforms of World War II, I began to search for ways of producing a book that had detailed photos and descriptive text. The SOLDAT series, as well as other works that have come about are the result of what Carl G. Jung would have called "synchronicity" that is, things coming about because of people, circumstances, and events all occurring at the right place and the right time. Begun with collectors in mind, SOLDAT now provides information to reenactors and living historians as well. Enjoy SOLDAT Cyrus A. Lee

Last night's BCS Championship was one of the most lopsided wins I have ever seen. Clearly the Notre Dame Fighting Irish did not belong on the same field as the Alabama Crimson Tide. From the beginning, Notre Dame had no answer to Alabama's offense. The Fighting Irish could not sustain any meaningful drive. The game was over by the end of the 1st half and there was very little reasons to watch it afterwards.
MIAMI — Write your U.S. congressman.
Call your conference commissioner, university president and athletic director. Heck, email Dr. Lou, Mark May, Kirk Herbstreit, Chris Fowler and David Pollack. I'd even give you their email addresses if it wouldn't get me fired.
College football's forthcoming four-team playoff, which goes into effect during the 2014 season, can't get here soon enough.
Can't we please have a playoff this coming season? Do we really have to wait another year?
Once again, the Bowl Championship Series robbed college football fans of a fitting end to a season on Monday night. No. 2 Alabama blasted No. 1 Notre Dame 42-14 in the Discover BCS National Championship at Sun Life Stadium, and the score wasn't even that close. If the Crimson Tide and Fighting Irish played every day between now and St. Patrick's Day, the Fighting Irish would never win.
Notre Dame didn't measure up against Alabama in any way, shape or form, and if a four-team playoff had been in place this season, chances are the Fighting Irish wouldn't have played in Miami on Monday night. The undefeated Irish would have played No. 4 seed Oregon in a national semifinal game, and it's hard to imagine they would have fared any better against the high-flying Ducks.
Could the Ducks or anyone else have beaten the Crimson Tide on Monday night? Maybe not. But any other matchup — a rematch with Texas A&M (the only team to defeat the Crimson Tide this season) or the much-anticipated showdown with Oregon — would have been more exciting than what we watched on Monday night.
In its second-to-last year of existence, the BCS once again failed. It gave us a Sugar Bowl no one outside of Louisville cared about (including the Gators) and a three-touchdown rout in the Orange Bowl. Even the Fiesta Bowl failed to live up to its hype, with Oregon routing No. 5 Kansas State 35-17.
Worst of all, we watched another dud on the last night of the college football season.
I think the 4 team playoff is not sufficient. The BSC can easily go to a 8 team model and turn some of the bowl games into playoff games. last night's game was not good good for College Football. It confirms everyone's suspicion of the corruption of the BCS.
I am in no way downplaying Alabama's victory last night. They probably would have beaten any other team. But at least it would have been more competitive had it been Oregon. Notre Dame was clearly not even close to the same level as Alabama. Last night's game was a national disgrace and a black eye for college Football.
Update: You can discuss any topic you want.

At the Tri-State Tour's April 13th stop at Castle Billiards in East Rutherford, NJ, Karim Moumen would come out to headline the winner's bracket. To move into the hot seat match, Moumen defeated George Poltorak 6-2, while his opponent Wilson Cruz had won against Bob Larbalestrien 7-5. Moumen then came out ahead in a hill-hill battle with Cruz, winning 9-8 in the hot seat match.
The thirty-six player field at this event also featured a strong run from Jimmy Rivera, who had a big one-loss side comeback after losing his first match of the day to Scott Simonetti at hill-hill, 7-6. Rivera would then move on run through seven matches including wins against Marco Costello 7-5, Ricardo Mejia 7-4, Chris Derewonski 7-3, Scott Simonetti 7-4, Guy Iannuzzi, 7-4, Bob Larbalestrien 7-5, and Tony Ignomirello 8-6.
Rivera then moved on to the semifinal to take on Wilson Cruz, who waited after his hot seat loss to Moumen. Cruz had another close match against Rivera, but closed out the match with a 7-6 win to move on to the final.
While Karim Moumen and Wilson Cruz would have been set for a rematch, they opted to end the night's play since the time had gotten late. Cruz and Moumen split the winnings, and Moumen claimed first place as the undefeated player, while also previously defeating Cruz.
Congratulations to the top finishers at Castle, as well as 'D' ranked player Grant Weldon who played strong to finish in 9th, one round out of the money.
1st: Karim Moumen – $700
2nd: Wilson Cruz – $450
3rd: Jimmy Rivera – $250
4th: Tony Ignomirello – $150
5th/6th: Bob Larbalestrien, George Poltorak – $100
7th/8th: Guy Iannuzzi, Tom Riley – $80

text: We all know that Ray Rice's 2013 campaign was a complete disaster, so there is no need to rehash the numbers (or lack thereof). Will he be able to turn it around in '14? There are many factors that will affect his production, but he definitely has new offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak in his corner, which helps.

Build wind-powered generators to energize your electric vehicles and charge your rechargeable batteries. The wind spins the turbine, which turns an electric generator, which in turn charges your rechargeable AA batteries (not included). You can then use those wind-charged batteries to power the model vehicles you build with our kit. The six models include a glider, sail car, jet car, tractor, racecar, and tricycle.
This kit includes two styles of wind turbine blades and a gearbox with three different gear ratios for experimenting. You can adjust the angle and number of wind turbine blades to make best use of wind, to make the LED light up brightly, and to charge the rechargeable battery as fast as possible. Explore this amazing, free source of renewable energy and store the electricity you generate for use in practical applications.
This kit includes a 40-page color instruction book with illustrated step-by-step instructions for assembling two windmills and six model vehicles, and conducting various experiments.

wind power kit
By Rain
from upstate NewYork
Best Uses
I expected wed be able to build both towers and several vehicles to tes and compare. We build the ling blade tower and not enough parts to build even a simple vehicle to test that the wond power generates enough electricity to charge the car battery or to find out which gear ratio 8s more effective. Wheres the science in this? The pamphlet has scant informstion on wind power.The box pictures all the things you can build but does not say you can only build one and must take it apart to build another
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
From National Geographic:Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are sorry to hear that this kit did not live up to your expectations. If you prefer to return it for a refund or exchange, please contact our customer service office at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Wind doesn't blow the blades
By Grandma
from Aurora, IL
bought for my Grandson 10 yrs old. built windmill and have tried different blades and can't get wind or a fan to turn the blades. The blades turn freely by hand but can't get the wind to turn the blades. Even tried a large fan on high. Have tried both sets of blades and all three different gears. If anyone has any suggestions we're all ears. My Grandson is very excited but he and his Dad can't get it to work.

In 2002 Shanna Weaver had left the American Paint Horse Association to look for a place where she could teach. This was her desire and her goal and no one was going stop her. And while looking for that teaching position she took a temporary assignment as the assistant to Delbert Bailey, the then Publicity Director for the Fort Worth Stock Show.
She already knew the ins and outs of the entire Will Rogers complex from being with the American Paint Horse Association. So getting around to all the various functions and people's needs was a natural for her. Little did she know what she was being groomed to become.
As the Stock Show and Rodeo closed that year Delbert met with Shanna and proposed that she take his position since he was retiring. Considering her shock at such an announcement she could not imagine the Rodeo publicity functioning without him for after all he had been there over 33 years. He told her of that he knew of his decision earlier in the year and had been watching her very closely and even though there might be some things that she did not know as well she always had a smile whether it was five in the morning or ten at night. He felt she was the right candidate and he was going to say so to then-President W.R. Watt, Jr.
So beginning in 2003, this ever smiling face began on what she thought would be a test run and now 13 years later she has the position totally by the reins. She has moved from a degree at Oklahoma State University in Animal Science and Livestock Merchandising to the American Paint Horse Association and now into being one of the leading Publicity Directors of all of the rodeos in the country. She may have bypassed her teaching goal but she has absolutely landed into her calling.
In the last 13 years of the Fort Worth Rodeo what is the biggest change that you have seen she stated, "It was unmistakably technology and social media." Then she added "the Show has gone into a lot of technology and social media but it has never moved away from its dedication to the livestock industry."
Shanna sees the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo moving further and further with technology along with whatever will be the new social media of the day. But she never sees giving up its roots or straying away from being the original indoor rodeo with the commitment to livestock of all kinds and especially those who raise and foster those ideas.
You may not always see Shanna in each and every event that takes place during the run of the Stock Show, but you can see evidence of her everywhere. From press releases to signs to working with the media to keeping the hundred and eighteen years of history of this legendary event alive and known worldwide, she is there every step of the way.

Fresh Fennel root
Plant an Italian garden to always have fresh herbs and vegetables on hand for preparing superb and nutritional meals. Basil, Oregano, Parsley, Fennel and Rosemary are basic herbs and standbys that grow well and produce plentiful crops.
Basil is one of the most rewarding crops to plant. Because a packet of seeds produces many plants, it is not necessary to use an entire envelope. Purchasing a small container of six sets is fine for the average family. It will also yield enough to share with neighbors and no one ever turns down fresh basil. For Los Angeles County, Basil is perfect as it is a warm season plant and requires full sun.
Oregano and Parsley are also love full California sun. Oregano is a spreader so allot appropriate space for its growth. Rosemary, that fragrant and wonderful bush type plant is highly drought resistant. Use Rosemary as a shrub border and attract beneficial bees to the garden.
Fennel is usable as a root vegetable and its seeds cultivated as a spice. The overall taste is like black licorice although true licorice does not contain any. See http://www.apinchof.com/fennel1031.html for complete information on its taste and usage.
Grow Italian at http://growitalian.com has a downloadable catalog of seeds from Italy. The site also offers authentic recipes of Peperonata (a slow-cooked yellow and red pepper dish), Squash soup (made with the winter version of the vegetable) and Bruschetta with tomato and arugala.
Organic seeds are found at Organica Seed Co at http://www.organicaseedco.com/herbs.html
True Italian seeds are sold at Italian Seed and Tool Company http://www.italianseedandtool.com
For some unusual varieties of Italian herbs, go to http://www.eseeds.com/c-91-unusual-vegetables.aspx for the beautiful green and purple heirloom artichoke.

The Storm Prediction Center expanded the portions of Indiana under a slight risk of severe storms in its midday update. High winds are the greatest threat, but hail and isolated tornadoes can't be ruled out. Isolated storms are possible, so keep an eye to the sky and be ready for quick changes in the weather if one of the storms develops near you. For more information: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/archive/2012/day1otlk_20120727_1630.html
After today's isolated storms and highs in the mid 90s, we'll cool down and stay dry for the Nationwide race tomorrow and Brickyard 400 Sunday.
We stay in the 90s through much of your WTHR-TV 7-Day, which will likely ensure we'll set the record for most 90+ days in July. We tied that mark today with our 25th 90+ day of the month. Our best chance of rain (aside from today) comes on Tuesday.
Finally, our Hoosier Pic at noon courtesy of Jonathan Dehner. He snapped this shot of the stormy skies over The Pyramids yesterday. Share your pic! Right here: https://www.facebook.com/ChikageWindlerFanPage or here: https://www.facebook.com/WTHR13

Stroke Health Center
Arm and Hand Exercises for Stroke Rehab
Recovering after a stroke may feel like a daunting task. Among other things, your brain must relearn skills it lost when it was damaged by the stroke.
Recent research, though, shows that the brain is amazingly resilient and capable of adapting after a stroke. This means that recovery is more possible than previously thought.
Recommended Related to Stroke
Thrombolysis, also known as thrombolytic therapy, is a treatment to dissolve dangerous clots in blood vessels, improve blood flow, and prevent damage to tissues and organs. Thrombolysis may involve the injection of clot-busting drugs through an intravenous (IV) line or through a long catheter that delivers drugs directly to the site of the blockage. It also may involve the use of a long catheter with a mechanical device attached to the tip that either removes the clot or physically breaks it...
Read the Thrombolysis article > >
Recovering use of your arm does bring special challenges, though -- different than those experienced with the leg, says Susan Ryerson PT, ScD, owner of Making Progress, a physical therapy business. Ryerson has specialized in post-stroke recovery for more than 40 years with a special interest in rehab for arms.
"But you don't have to do anything with the arm because you have the other one to use," Ryerson says. "In the beginning, it's easier to do things with your 'good' arm. So you develop a behavioral pattern of nonuse." But because early muscle activation is critical to good recovery, you should be devoting as much time as possible to getting your arm to work, she says.
What to Expect During Stroke Rehab for Your Arm
Your stroke rehabilitation program involves working with a team to guide you. This usually includes physical and occupational therapists. The rehab team will likely recommend combining a variety of exercises and other techniques to help your arm recover. Two big goals of stroke rehab are to enhance muscle control and reduce spasticity. This is a constant contraction of muscles that can lead to pain and other problems.
Stroke rehabilitation for your hand and arm includes passive movements or exercises that are movements done with the help of a therapist and more active exercises you do with little or no assistance.
Stroke rehabilitation can be tiring. It may also help to be active during times of the day when you have more energy. Set realistic goals.
Stretching Arm Exercises After a Stroke
Stretching is especially important for reducing spasticity. "Stretching should be used not as an alternative to medications, but as a foundation," says Joel Stein, MD, director of the rehabilitation medicine service and physiatrist-in-chief at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. "Patients that are very meticulous about it can often manage with substantial spasticity."

Golf Digest Ranked number one on "America's 100 Greatest Public Courses List" 2015/2016
Pebble Beach Golf Links
Named Greatest Public Golf Course in America
There are few golf thrills like teeing-up for the first time on Pebble Beach Golf Links. You sense the presence of golf's biggest legends. You anticipate each and every storied hole while recounting some of the greatest moments in golf history.
Since 1919, the exquisite beauty and unique challenge of Pebble Beach Golf Links have thrilled golfers and spectators alike. Designed by Jack Neville and Douglas Grant, the course hugs the rugged coastline, providing wide-open vistas, cliffside fairways and sloping greens.
Pebble Beach Golf Links has been the site of golf's most prestigious tournaments, including the annual AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and five U.S. Open Championships including the 2010 U.S. Open. We are excited and honored to welcome back the U.S. Open to Pebble Beach for the sixth time in 2019!
Every golfer deserves to play "Pebble" at least once in his or her life. There's no time like the present.

Secrets of Success
Raspberry Ketone
Monday, April 29, 2013
I have been back on the wagon with exercising for the past 2 weeks. It's been going good. I am doing at least 1 video a day, mixing it up between Jillian Michaels, Brazil Butt Lift and Just Dance or Zumba for Wii. I'm really feeling the burn every day and I feel like I am getting a great workout.
I have always been good about being active, unless I am sick (the flu had me doing nothing for over a month!) I can't seem to get the results I want and I always feel like the more I workout, the more I can eat junk. On Saturday, I started taking Raspberry Ketone. I know, I never use any kind of weight loss supplements, but Raspberry Ketone is supposed to be natural and I figured a little help wouldn't be horrible.
I took my first dose on Saturday. I had forgotten about it earlier in the day, so I took 2 pills before dinner. Within a half hour, I felt like I ate a horse. We sat down to eat dinner and I already felt full. I ate half a chicken breast, some yams and green beans for dinner, and then I didn't eat anything for the rest of the night. The bad thing was it made me shaky, my heart was racing a little, and I was up until 3am. I'm not used to caffeine!
Sunday I again forgot to take it before lunch, but I woke up still feeling full. I ate a protein bar for breakfast just so I had some food in me, and then had a 6" sub for lunch. I decided to take only 1 pill before dinner so maybe the caffeine wouldn't affect me so much. I had no issues with 1 pill at all. It didn't seem to make me feel as full though, but I was still careful about what I ate. I did end up having a snack after dinner. I made sure it was healthy - an organic apple with organic peanut butter.
With working out, eating right, and the extra boost from the Raspberry Ketone, I am hoping to start seeing the results I want! I am not overweight, really I just want to lose about 15 pounds and tone my body.

I know people who have used them and lost weight. Honestly, taking these supplements goes against everything I believe in, but I figured I'd try them and see how it goes. I'd rather not use them, but even with exercise and eating right, I can't seem to get the results I want, so I thought I'd give it a try and see if these work for me.

I just read an article on here on Raspberry Ketone and it said that it was never tested on humans, only lab rats so there is no proof of it actually helping humans. I am not sure where I found it, but it's worth a read.
Aside from that, sounds like you had a good weekend. :)

A feasibility study of a licensed premise intervention to reduce alcohol misuse and violent injury
The health and economic costs of alcohol misuse in the UK are estimated to be between 2% and 5% of UK gross domestic product and reflect sexual health outcomes, injury, stroke and cancer as well as lost productivity and absenteeism in the workplace. Evidence suggests that interventions targeted at licensed premises which address known risk factors (e.g. serving alcohol to intoxicated customers, irresponsible alcohol promotions, deficits in server training) can be effective in reducing the health costs associated with alcohol misuse.
Aims of Project
This project assesses the feasibility of a premises-level intervention designed to reduce alcohol misuse, and outcomes of misuse including disorder and violent injury. Experts in auditing the licensed trade and researchers will work with licensees to address shortcomings. The key intervention component involves feedback: experimental premises will receive feedback and be subject to action plans whereas control premises will not. Although the means of identifying shortcomings in premises management has been used across England and Wales and interventions which raise standards appear to have reduced disorder according to various police and health indicators (usually injury measures) this process has not been evaluated using a randomised controlled trial.
This feasibility study will pilot the intervention using a RCT design to provide effect sizes, something which has not been done before in England and Wales. This study will pilot a breathalyser survey to measure the prevalence of alcohol intoxication in drinkers and will utilise police and accident and emergency data to measure the incidence and prevalence of violence and alcohol problems. A process evaluation will involve interviewing staff within the licensed trade both in intervention premises and senior staff in large licensed premise chains to determine barriers, fidelity of the intervention, acceptability and sustainability. Premises level interventions which reduce misuse are strategically relevant to a range of partnership activities, policy initiatives and funding streams across health and criminal justice. However, Primary Care Trusts and other agencies are required to develop plans which are evidence based. The proposed feasibility study begins to address the deficit in evidence for such interventions to inform a future definitive trial.

The Palm Beach Zoo's female bald eagle, known as Noble Peace, has cataracts in both eyes and will undergo corrective surgery in her right left eye on Monday, July 1st. Noble Peace was evaluated by a veterinary ophthalmologist Dr. Susan Carastro of the Animal Eye Specialty Clinic in West Palm Beach who will perform the cataract surgery at her clinic on Monday. Following the surgery, Noble Peace will return to the Animal Care Clinic at the Zoo where she will be housed during her recovery.
Noble Peace has arrived at the Palm Beach Zoo on April 23, 1992. She came from Busch Wildlife Sanctuary in Jupiter as a rehabilitation animal. An injured wing made it impossible for her to be returned to the wild. Noble Peace was trained to be an ambassador for her species. Before coming to the Zoo, she was taken to schools to educate others about bald eagles.
The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is both the National Bird and the National Animal of the United States of America and is featured on the Great Seal of the USA, adopted in 1782. It is a bird of prey whose range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico. It is usually found near large bodies of water. The bald eagle is not actually bald. The name derives from an older meaning of "white headed." In the late 20th century, the bald eagle was on the brink of extinction, but under federal protection the species has recovered and was removed from the list of endangered and threatened species in 2007.
General Facts about Bald Eagles
- June 28, 2007 - The Department of Interior took the American bald eagle off the endangered species list. The removal of the bald eagle from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants will become effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
- The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is a member of the sea and fish eagle group.
- Color - Both male and female adult bald eagles have a blackish-brown back and breast; a white head, neck, and tail; and yellow feet and bill.
- Juvenile bald eagles are a mixture of brown and white. They reach full maturity in four to five years.
- Size - The female bald eagle is 35 to 37 inches, slightly larger than the male.
- Wingspan ranges from 72 to 90 inches.
- Bald eagles can fly to an altitude of 10,000 feet. During level flight, they can achieve speeds of about 30 to 35 mph.
- Bald eagles weigh from ten to fourteen pounds.
- Eagle bones are light, because they are hollow.
- The beak, talons, and feathers are made of keratin.
- Bald eagles have 7,000 feathers.
- Longevity - Wild bald eagles may live as long as thirty years.
- Bald eagles sit at the top of the food chain
- Lifting power is about 4 pounds.
- Diet - Mainly fish, but they will take advantage of carrion (dead and decaying flesh).
- The bald eagle is a strong swimmer, but if the water is very cold, it may be overcome by hypothermia.
- Hunting area varies from 1,700 to 10,000 acres. Home ranges are smaller where food is present in great quantity.
- All eagles are renowned for their excellent eyesight.
- Nests are built in large trees near rivers or coasts.
- An eagle reaches sexual maturity at around four or five years of age.
- Fidelity - Once paired, bald eagles remain together until one dies.
- Bald eagles lay from one to three eggs.
- The 35 days of incubation duties are shared by both male and female.
- Nesting cycle - about 20 weeks
- Today, there are an estimated 9,789 breeding pairs of bald eagles.
- Eagles molt in patches, taking almost half a year to replace feathers, starting with the head and working downward.
- Birds puff up their feathers for various reasons. They puff them up while preening; to insulate themselves to changing temperatures; when they're relaxed; to make themselves appear larger when threatened; and when they're ill.
- The bald eagle became the National emblem in 1782 when the great seal of the United States was adopted.
- Causes of death - Fatal gunshot wounds, electrocution, poisoning, collisions with vehicles, and starvation.

First Chinese phones to use MediaTek's MT6575 chip show up
Last week we told you about MediaTek's upcoming MT6575 chipset. Hiding behind that unimpressive name is a 1 GHz ARM Cortex A9-based processor, helped by a PowerVR SGX5 graphics processor, with hot-swappable dual-SIM support thrown in for good measure. Add in MediaTek's signature low pricing on chips, and you get what will probably power millions and millions of phones in China in the near future.
And the first three models prepping to make up those millions of sales have just showed up in a photo shoot. Here they are:
So, two HTC copies and… an LG copy? Anyway, design aside, the one in the middle is said to come with an autostereoscopic 3D touchscreen and HDMI out, and they all have qHD (960×540) resolution. The 3D-capable phone also comes with a built-in 3D interface, dual-SIM support, and it runs Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread. In fact, they may all be on that particular version of Google's operating system, although obviously there's nothing stopping phone makers from using Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich if they want to.
These phones are very close to being mass-produced, so expect them to show up on the Chinese market in a month or two.
The big question that remains is whether this MediaTek chipset will finally make the jump from cheap Chinese knock-offs and Indian brands to the Western world mainstream. It certainly looks like it has the appropriate guts, the price has to be good, so… will this mark MediaTek's transformation into a global player in the chip business? All we can do is wait and see, but we sure hope so, since more competition in any field is always good news for us consumers.

Kingman, AZ 86401
Section 208 of the Clean Water Act of 1972 requires the establishment of water quality management plans, to plan for, and adequately and efficiently accommodate the sewerage needs of existing populations and that of projected growth, while ensuring the high quality of water resources.
Mohave County has a new Area Wide Water Quality Management (208) Plan, approved by the Board of Supervisors on December 15, 2003, per BOS Resolution No. 2003-407. The plan is available at this site.
The 208 Plan is not a plan for the county or cities to extend sewer services, but a plan that will help those agencies determine where such services are needed, and where they should be required of existing or new development. In this regard, the 208 Plan complements and corresponds with the applicable jurisdiction's Comprehensive or General Plan, regulations, ordinances, and adopted facility plans. The plan includes all of the incorporated cities and the unincorporated areas of the county. Mohave County is the Designated Planning Agency that implements the 208 Plan, in coordination with input by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.

Oklahoma and Nebraska revive their Big 12 rivalry and the world's largest cocktail party takes place in Jacksonville. Otherwise, the schedule is light with just 92 of the 119 1-A teams in action. Notre Dame, California, most of the Big East and Sun Belt teams, and nearly half of CUSA are among the 27 teams that have the week off. FIU and Middle Tennessee were added to that list on Tuesday due to damage caused by Hurricane Wilma when it sped across South Florida on Monday.
The action starts on Thursday night when Boston College visits Virginia Tech in a key ACC matchup. They last faced-off in 2003 as Big East conference rivals and the Eagles snapped a 7-game losing streak to the Hokies with a 34-27 win in Blacksburg. The 7-0 Hokies have won their last 15 regular season games and 10 conference games in-a-row. Boston College's only loss was to Florida State in their ACC opener. The Eagles and Seminoles are the only teams in the Atlantic division with just one conference loss.
On Friday night the 2nd and 3rd-place teams in the Mountain West collide when Colorado State visits New Mexico. The Rams (4-3, 3-1) and Lobos (5-3, 3-2) trail TCU which is undefeated in conference play.
When Oklahoma visits Nebraska on Saturday in Lincoln, it will mark just the second meeting between the two schools since 2001. Oklahoma crushed the 'Huskers 30-3 last year in Norman but the Sooners have won just two of the last ten meetings and dropped six straight in Lincoln with their last victory coming in 1987. The Cornhuskers can become bowl eligible with a win. The Sooners are still two victories away from achieving that feat.
The world's largest cocktail party takes place in Jacksonville as undefeated Georgia could face rival Florida without heralded quarterback D.J. Shockley. Shockley suffered a sprained knee in the second quarter of last week's 23-20 escape over Arkansas. Junior Joe Tereshinski could get his first collegiate start. Florida's season is in need of resuscitation after dropping its last two conference road games at Alabama and LSU.
Unbeaten Teams:
Six teams remain undefeated, all are 7-0, and all are seeing action this weekend
Virginia Tech draws the toughest opponent with Boston College.
Georgia's game against Florida could be trouble if quarterback D.J. Shockley is unable to play.
Texas and USC catch teams that are in the throes of 4-game losing streaks. The Longhorms visit an Oklahoma State squad that has been outscored 171-64 in its last four games. USC hosts a Washington State team that blew fourth quarter leads in its last two contests with UCLA and California.
UCLA's date at Stanford could be a trap for the Bruins. Stanford has won three straight since losing to Oregon and the Cardinal is coming off an impressive 45-35 win at Arizona State, though they gave back a lot of a 45-7 lead.
Alabama's homecoming game with non-conference foe Utah State should be a walk in the park.
Winless Teams:
Army took itself off the list with a 20-0 win at Akron. Four teams still remain.
The computer doesn't hold out much hope for Rice or Temple to break into the win column this week. But Buffalo is only a 1-point underdog and New Mexico State is actually favored in their contest.
Rice (0-6) is a 15-point home underdog to UTEP (5-1). Temple (0-8) is a 21-point road dog at Miami (Ohio) (4-3).
Buffalo (0-7) entertains Ohio (3-4).
New Mexico State (0-7) is a 7-point favorite over visiting Idaho (1-6). The two teams were Sun Belt rivals before switching to the WAC this year.
Other Conference Games:
ACC:North Carolina at Miami (Fla.) - The game has been moved up from 3:30 to Noon due to damage that was caused to the lighting system at the Orange Bowl by Hurricane Wilma. Miami has not allowed more than a touchdown in any of their last four games and has held five of their six opponents to 10 points or less. The Tar Heels and Hurricanes each have just one conference loss and are chasing undefeated Virginia Tech in the coastal division. The 'Canes head to Blacksburg next week and UNC visits the Hokies on November 26.
Clemson at Georgia Tech - The game was moved back from Noon to 3:30 to accommodate TV after the North Carolina-Miami (Fla.) game was to Noon. The Yellow Jackets got an unexpected vacation last weekend when Hurricane Wilma caused their trip to Miami to be postponed until November 19th. Clemson, meanwhile, downed Temple 37-7. Both teams enter the game with just four over-all victories. Neither is in the hunt for their respective division titles but bowl bids are at stake. Clemson would drop to 4-4 with a loss with games still remaining against Duke (home), Florida State (home) and South Carolina (away). Georgia Tech would slip 4-3 with a loss with games left against Wake Forest (home), Virginia (away), Miami (away) at Georgia (home).
Wake Forest at Duke - The Demon Deacons need to win all of their remaining games to become eligible for a bowl bid.
Maryland at Florida State - Virginia Tech shut down Maryland's offense in last week's 28-9 Terrapins home loss. If FSU can do the same, the 'Noles will move one step closer to capturing the Atlantic division crown by improving to 5-1 in conference play. If Florida State beats Maryland and BC loses at Virginia Tech on Thursday, the Seminoles would be able to clinch the division title with a win over N.C. State next week.
Big East:
Cincinnati at Syracuse - Aside from Rutgers which is hosting Navy in a non-conference game, these are the only Big East teams seeing action this week. At 1-6, the Orange are already out of the bowl picture. Cincinnati must win 3 of their last four games to avoid elimination from the postseason.
Big 10:Wisconsin at Illinois - Since starting the season 2-0, the Illini have lost five straight and been outscored 230-64 in the process. The closest they've come to winning a Big 10 game is a 23-point loss at Indiana. Wisconsin is tied with Penn State for the conference lead. The Nittany Lions and Badgers are each 4-1 in league play. Northwestern and Ohio State are nipping on their heels at 3-1.
Indiana at Michigan State - The computer's preseason projections had been on the money with every Indiana game thus far. It even cautioned that "Hoosier fans shouldn't get too excited to see their team start the year 4-1 before hitting the tough part of the slate". The last two weeks they've faced Iowa and Ohio State. They draw the Spartans this week and finish out the season with games against Minnesota, Michigan and Purdue. The Hoosiers have to win two more games out of that group to potentially earn their first bowl trip since a 1993 Independence Bowl loss to Virginia Tech.
Michigan at Northwestern - Michigan has rescued back-to-back last-minute wins over Penn State and Iowa. All five of their conference games have been decided in the last 24 seconds of regulation or in overtime. Now, they must visit what could be the hottest team in the conference. Northwestern is fresh off a surprising 49-14 demolition of Michigan State on the Spartans' home field and one more win makes them eligible for bowl season. The same goes for the Wolverines who find themselves just a game behind a group of four teams who each have one conference loss. The prospects of a Big 10 title for Michigan are dim, but they're not completely dead yet.
Ohio State at Minnesota - The Buckeyes and Golden Gophers haven't met since 2002. Minnesota's 29-17 win in Columbus in 2000 is their only victory over the Buckeyes since 1981. Each is 5-2 over-all but Ohio State is 3-1 in conference play while the Gophers are 2-2.
Purdue at Penn State - My, how fortunes have changed since the preseason when Purdue was a 5-point favorite to win this game. Now, the Boilermakers are a 12-point underdog as they try to avoid their sixth straight loss, their worst skid since 1993.
Big 12:Texas Tech at Baylor - There's no doubt that this is a much better Baylor team than the one that went 37 games without ever winning a Big 12 road battle. They ended that terrible run with a win at Iowa State. But after overtime losses at Texas A&M and Oklahoma, and a home loss to Nebraska, the Bears are still just 1-3 in conference play. A win over Texas Tech would be huge in Waco, and a severe blow to the Red Raiders who are looking to rebound from last weekend's 52-17 blowout loss at Texas. Baylor, by the way, hasn't been to a bowl game since the 1994 Alamo Bowl. After this week, they get Texas at home and then travel to Missouri before their season finale at home against Oklahoma State.
Colorado at Kansas State - Colorado is tied with Missouri for the north division lead and hosts the Tigers next Saturday. At 1-3, Kansas State isn't out of the hunt. Colorado won the division last year with a 4-4 conference record.
Iowa State at Texas A&M - The Cyclones ended a three-game losing streak with last Saturdays 37-10 pounding of Oklahoma State but Iowa State needs two more wins to get over the .500 hump. Texas A&M would become bowl eligible with a victory.
Missouri at Kansas - The Jayhawks were forecasted by the computer to make it to the postseason with a 7-4 record and finish second in the north division. At 3-4, they'd have to win every remaining game to meet those lofty expectations. A road trip to Texas stands in the way of achieving that feat. But the Jayhawks are a 1-point computer pick over the Tigers this week and will likely be favored in their two remaining home games against Nebraska and Iowa State which would make them bowl eligible at 6-5.
Texas at Oklahoma State - Mike Gundy's first campaign in Stillwater has been a nightmare. After opening 3-0 against a very weak non-conference slate, the Cowboys have lost four games in-a-row. With games remaining against Texas, Texas Tech, Baylor and Oklahoma, they will find it difficult to notch a single Big 12 win.
CUSA:Central Florida at East Carolina - UCF, along with Southern Miss, are the only teams with fewer than two conference losses in CUSA's east division. ECU is just a game behind and can stay in the race with a win over the Golden Knights, winners of four of their last five games. Central Florida (4-3, 3-1) was in the midst of a 17-game losing streak earlier this season and now finds itself competing for a bowl bid or even a conference championship.
Marshall at Tulane (at Mobile, AL) - After being displaced from their New Orleans campus by Hurricane Katrina, the Tulane Travelers will play 11 games in 11 different stadiums. This week, it's off to Mobile for their "home" game against Marshall. Both teams are trying to avoid their 5th over-all loss. The Herd is just a game out of the lead in the east division title chase.
UTEP at Rice - UTEP and Tulsa control their destiny for the west division crown. The Miners and Golden Hurricane meet next week in El Paso and if either of these two teams win out, they'll be heading to the conference's first championship game. This week, UTEP faces a Rice squad that owns the nation's longest losing streak at 12 games.
MAC:Akron at Bowling Green - Bowling Green has been hard to figure. They've scored 38 points or more four times and even hung 42 on Wisconsin. But they were destroyed at Boise State with a healthy Omar Jacobs under center and then got bombed by Western Michigan this past Saturday when Jacobs got knocked out of the game in the first quarter. As the only team in the east division with just one conference loss, they still control their destiny. But a loss this week puts Akron, Miami and possibly even Ohio back in the hunt.
Ball State at Northern Illinois - The Huskies are tied with Central Michigan for second place in the west division, a game behind Toledo.
Ohio at Buffalo - Thanks to BGSU's loss to Western Michigan, Ohio is still in the east division title picture. The Bulls are 6-46 all-time in MAC games.
Toledo at Central Michigan - This west division battle has conference championship implications as the Chippewas enter the contest with a 3-1 conference mark while Toledo is 4-0.
Kent State at Western Michigan - The Golden Flashes are a disappointing 1-6 over-all and 0-4 in the conference. The Broncos, 1-10 a year ago, can improve to 5-3 with a win this weekend.
Mountain West:Air Force at BYU - Fisher DeBerry and LaVell Edwards made this a terrific rivalry. With Edwards gone, the rivalry has lost some luster. This year, neither team is in the conference championship chase and will likely miss the bowl season. The Falcons have lost five of their last six games and are just 3-5. BYU is 3-4.
TCU at San Diego State - TCU is unbeaten against their new league foes and would improve to 6-0 with a win over the spastic Aztecs.
PAC-10:Arizona at Oregon State - Arizona is one of three PAC-10 teams still looking for their first conference win.
Washington at Arizona State - The Sun Devils have lost three straight and failed to show up in the early going of last week's game against Stanford. They trailed 45-7 before scoring the last 28 points of the game to make the final score appear to be respectable.
Washington State at USC - The Cougars are in search of their first PAC-10 win this season and, at the same time, are trying to halt a four-game losing skid after opening the season with three straight wins against a week non-conference slate. In their last two losses, WSU blew a 17-point fourth quarter lead over UCLA and a 10-point final period lead over Cal.
UCLA at Stanford - The Bruins finally put a team away early last week, routing Oregon State 51-28. Their previous three games required comebacks to defeat Washington, California and Washington State. The Cardinal upset Arizona State last week for a third straight victory.
SEC:Mississippi at Auburn - The Tigers are kicking themselves after missing five field goals in last week's overtime loss to LSU. Ole Miss downed Kentucky 13-7 on Saturday for their first conference win of the year.
Mississippi State at Kentucky - For the second straight week, Kentucky is facing a team that, just like them, doesn't have a conference victory. Ole Miss beat the Wildcats 13-7 last week for their first SEC win. Either the Bulldogs or Kentucky will get their first league victory this week.
South Carolina at Tennessee - Steve Spurrier vs. Phillip Fulmer. This could be interesting. The Gamecocks (4-3, 2-3) are just above Tennessee (3-3, 2-3) in the SEC east standings, thanks to an extra non-conference win. Tennessee will be without top running Gerald Riggs, Jr. for the rest of the season after he injured his lower right leg and ankle in the loss to Alabama last weekend.
Sun Belt:Middle Tennessee at FIU - Due to the damage caused in the Miami area by Hurricane Wilma, this game was postponed to a later date and will likely be played in early December.
Troy at Louisiana-Lafayette - Troy must win to stay in the Sun Belt title race while the Ragin' Cajuns aim for their second straight conference win after upsetting MTSU last week.
WAC:Nevada at Boise State - The Wolf Pack are one of three teams with unbeaten WAC records. They, along with Boise State and Fresno State, are 3-0.
Fresno State at Hawaii - The Bulldogs have lost the last five times they've played at Hawaii.
Idaho at New Mexico State - The Aggies are still looking for their first win under new head coach Hal Mumme. They've lost their first seven by an average of 24 points.
San Jose State at Louisiana Tech - San Jose State's only win under new head coach Dick Tomey was against 1-AA Eastern Washington in the season-opener. Since then, the Spartans have lost six straight. Three of those losses were by just 7 points.
Ho-Hum:Utah State at Alabama - Let's see, a 2-4 WAC team against an undefeated SEC team. This could get real ugly.
North Texas at LSU - Originally scheduled as a season-opener, this game was postponed by Hurricane Katrina. The Tigers were a 24-point computer favorite then. They are a 33-point pick now.
Miami (Ohio) at Temple - The winless Owls have been outscored 368-73 in 8 games, an average loss of 46-9.
Interesting Non-Conference Games:
Navy at Rutgers - Rutgers can become bowl eligible with a win over Navy. The Midshipmen are looking to improve to 5-2.
Southern Miss at N.C. State - The Wolfpack's season has gone sour as they enter this non-conference contest with a record of 2-4 over-all, 1-4 in the ACC. The Golden Eagles have won four of their last five games.
Pick On Someone Your Own Size:
For the third consecutive week, none of the 119 division 1-A teams play a school from a lower division this week. There have been 50 played this season with the 1-A schools winning 48 (96 percent).
From the beginning of the 2003 season through Saturday, 1-A teams are 160-18 in such games, an 89.89 winning percentage.
USC owns the nation's longest winning streak at 29. The Trojans also have streaks of 23 straight home wins and 19 consecutive PAC-10 victories. They have won 40 of their last 41 games. The 29-game over-all winning streak is the longest in PAC-10 history, breaking their own record of 25 games set in 1931-1933. USC hosts Washington State this week.
Texas has won 14 straight games, second-longest streak in the nation behind USC. The Longhorns visit Oklahoma State.
Virginia Tech has won 15 straight regular season games and 10 consecutive ACC games. The Hokies host Boston College as they play on Thursday night for the second week in-a-row.
Boise State owns nation-leading streaks of 28 straight home wins and 29 straight conference victories. The Broncos entertain Nevada on Saturday.
Rice owns the nation's longest losing streak at 12 games. The Owls host UTEP on Saturday.
New Coaches:
The 2005 season began with 23 coaching changes.
San Jose State has not beaten a 1-A team yet. New Mexico State is still looking for its first win over anybody under Hal Mumme.
Here is how each has fared, by order of success, and who they face this week:
LSU, 5-1 under Les Miles, hosts North Texas.
Florida, 5-2 under Urban Meyer, versus Georgia at Jacksonville.
Notre Dame, 5-2 under Charlie Weis, idle.
Stanford, 4-2 under Walt Harris, hosts UCLA.

Ford's Mulally: Replacing the Lost Generation One Customer at a Time
Neal Boudette reports:
Ford Motor Co. Chief Executive Alan Mulally is apparently willing to go to great lengths to win back customers for the auto maker.
Speaking at the WSJ ECO:nomics conference in Santa Barbara, Calif., Mr. Mulally said Ford has made great improvements in quality, and acknowledged the company hadn't always produced the best cars in the past.
When a member of the audience said he hadn't owned a Ford since the Pinto was in fashion, and wondered what the company was doing to win back this "lost generation," Mr. Mulally made an immediate offer: "I'll meet you in your room later."
As laughter rippled through the audience, Mr. Mulally himself smiled and chuckled at the double meaning of the remark.
"We really have lost a generation," he said, turning back to the issue at hand. In the past, Ford "did not have a consistency of purpose," he said, but is now committed to producing vehicles that are "best in class."
He reiterated that Ford's mix of vehicles will do a 180 in coming years, with light cars—rather than trucks and SUVs–representing two-thirds of the automaker's lineup, as rising energy prices make fuel-efficient cars a priority for consumers.
Having made his point, the CEO modified his offer to the recalcitrant customer: "I'll meet you in the hall," he said, smiling. "I'll give you some brochures."

Secrets of Success
This past week
Monday, February 18, 2013
This past week has been a really good week for me. I got my nike fuel band on tuesday and I really love it. It motivates me to keep moving and if I havnt reached my goal for the day it motivates me to get up off my butt and move a little bit more. It shows calories, steps, and nike fuel which is a special measurement that nike has come up with to show activity intensity. I really dont know how it works but it seems to show on the graph the difference between me walking around the house vs. walking around the grocery store vs. working out at a high intensity. Over all its just another motivational tool.
I was expecting to have an awesome weigh in at weight watchers yesterday because I had gotten in 3 full hours of working out durring the week and had tracked, weighed and measured all my food. I was feeling really good and my scale at home that morning showed the lowest weight I had been at since having the baby.
I weighed in at weight watchers and found that I had gained 0.2 lbs! WTF! I told myself that I would not let the weigh in derail me if it was not what I expected but I had no idea it would spit in my face and tell me I gained. I was really mad.
Long story short I ended up going out to eat last night (something I avoided doing on valentines day because I really wanted a good number on the scale this week) and said... Im gonna eat what I want!
We went to outback because they have a pretty good gluten free menu and I got the shrimp appitizer, split the full rack of ribs with garlic mashed potatoes with my husband and had about 1/4 of the chocolate thunder from down under. I also had two mixed drinks.
I thought I did worse than I did. I put it in the spark people tracker this morning and I ate about 3000 calories for the day. Thats not great by any standard but it could have been a lot worse. It was an isolated occurrence and the rest of my week will be great. i also was about 1000 fuel under my 3000 goal because by the time I got home I was pretty tipsy still and instead of doing my planned work out I crawled into bed at 8:30pm.
I have decided to start tracking with spark people again. I did really well tracking calories for almost a year when I was losing weight before and I really like the spark people app. I have always had issues with the new weight watchers points system. I lost all my weight before using spark people and the old points system and I have just never really been able to drop very much weight on the new ww system. maybe its the free fruit. IDK. All I know is weight watchers is discouraging me right now and I think I would be much better off if I just had a love affair with my bathroom scale because it has been much much kinder to me.
Im toying with the idea of running my 2nd 5k. I was acctually heavier when I ran my first 5k so I am thinking it would be easier to take up running this time. I know its never easy and I always hate it while I am doing it but the feeling I get when I am done is so wonderful. I feel amazing about myself after I run even though I hate it with a passion while I am actually doing it. lol. I dont really want to start training until the weather gets above 50 degrees though. I tried to go walking yesterday with snow on the ground and the wind hitting me in the face and I only got about 15 minutes in before I jumped in the car and headed home with a great big F this.
I hate winter.... bring on spring!
Well I hope everyone is doing great and discovering what works and what does not. I am a big fan of when something does not work for you, change something. Thats why I flip flopped between ww and spark when I was losing weight before. It worked for me so I am going to go with that approach again.

You are doing great! Just keep doing it! I know I did all good things one week and then nothing on the scale.. then I ate something I really should not have and i lost 2 pounds. Standby I bet that big meal helps you.. maybe some crazy motivation like I have to do good the rest of the week because of that meal... maybe your body needed something in that meal you wouldn't have normally had, who knows?? Enjoy the journey.. we all need a carefree evening out with our spouse every now and then. You are doing great!!

You'll probably lose weight after that big meal. I think sometimes we don't eat enough. :)

I can't wait for spring too Jess! I'm ready to get out and get walking!
Sounds like you are doing a great job! Do whatever works best for you, that's what matters most!
As for the 5k...go for it! I am looking to do the same thing. I've never run one before!
Keep up the great work!!

I like your plan. You are the only one that can find what works for you. This is an individual journey. You are going to do great. I did WW for a few weeks. I liked it at first, but then I started not liking it. I HATED weighing in at night. I love weighing in on my own scale first thing in the morning. I just think it's way more active. During the day ANYTHING you eat could make you fluctuate.
I'm ready for spring too! Even though it hasn't been too bad cold here, but I'm tired of the rain we've been getting.
Hope you have a great day, and you can do it!
