Federal research and preparedness activities related to bioterrorism center on detection; the development of vaccines, antibiotics, and antivirals; and the development of performance standards for emergency response equipment. Preparedness activities include (1) increasing federal, state, and local response capabilities; (2) developing response teams; (3) increasing the availability of medical treatments; (4) participating in and sponsoring exercises; (5) aiding victims; and (6) providing support at special events, such as presidential inaugurations and Olympic games. To coordinate their activities to combat terrorism, federal departments and agencies are developing interagency response plans, participating in various interagency work groups, and entering into formal agreements with other agencies to share resources and capabilities. However, coordination of federal terrorism research, preparedness, and response programs is fragmented, raising concerns about the ability of states and localities to respond to a bioterrorist attack. These concerns include insufficient state and local planning and a lack of hospital participation in training on terrorism and emergency response planning.

The invisible beachball-sized sphere of air that surrounds your face in all directions is a great place to start implementing efficient salon ventilation. NAILS walks you through all of the things you need to know, from what to look for in a ventilation system to how the components work to a few tweaks you can make in your day-to-day habits for extra protection. Get ready to breathe easy.
Masks: If you're going to use a mask, you need a NIOSH-approved N95-rated mask (available in the painting department of hardware stores). An N95 mask is a high-efficiency dust mask. Don't wear a surgical mask: the dust will go right through it and the vapors will saturate the mask, making your breathing zone more hazardous.Windows: Open windows are an improvement over a closed salon environment; however, so much of the effectiveness of window ventilation depends on which way the wind is blowing (i.e. into or out of your face) that it's too unreliable. Plus, if that's all you have, then what will you do when it's cold or rainy outside?Fans: If a window is open and a fan pointed out, it will help some. But if you have a door or window open elsewhere, it could create a river of air that completely bypasses your station. Relying on fans without an open window doesn't work. That will just blow the dust and vapors all over the salon.Venting to the outside: If you can set up your system so it vents to the outside, that's great. Some municipalities even have this as a requirement in their building codes; however, it is usually expensive and/or difficult to do (such as if your salon is in the center of a mall), and many building inspectors will approve a source-capture system in lieu of venting to the outside.Tabletop portable air purifiers: Tabletop purifiers don't have the capacity to hold the several inches of activated carbon needed to capture all of the vapors created by a nail salon. The filter will simply be loaded up too quickly.Home or office air cleaners: Homes and offices don't generate the kind of dust and vapors that nail salons do, so these air cleaners won't be effective in salons. There aren't any ionizing air cleaners yet built for nail salons either, and there's a controversy over the ones built for other environments as to whether they can expose the user to harmful ozone levels.A manicure table with a built-in grate: Connected to the right type of source-capture system with activated carbon and dust filters, this is a terrific way to protect yourself. Just be aware that if you have a built-in grate but it only came with a fan or no significant filter at all to capture what is getting sucked in, then it's not protecting you. Many nail salon ventilation companies can retrofit your existing table with a proper system. (Also, don't cover the grate with your manicure towel.)
Signs Your Salon Needs Better Ventilation
It's a misconception that using your vision or sense of smell is a tell-tale indicator. You can be inhaling particles and not see or smell them. Here are a few more reliable signs:
> Strong product odors linger for more than 10 minutes after use.> When someone uses a strong-smelling product, people on the other side of the salon detect the odor.> You smell product odors when you open the salon in the morning.> Windows and doors are closed and there is no mechanical ventilation system in place or turned on.> Your only ventilation system is the built-in HVAC system, which does not have nail salon-appropriate filters in it.> The walls "sweat" with moisture or the windows fog.> Workers frequently have one or more of the following symptoms: headaches, dry or sore throats, blurry vision, watery eyes, insomnia, irritability, nausea, dizziness, cough, a runny or bloody nose, sneezing, tingling toes or fingers, drowsiness, chest aches or pains, shortness of breath, loss of coordination or appetite.> Your clients, neighbors, and/or landlord complains about offensive odors.
Little Things You Can Do For Extra Protection
There is no replacement for a three-zone ventilation system but here are some great supplemental ideas.> Frequently close containers (not just when you go home at night).> Use only wastebaskets with tight-fitting lids.> Replace all carpet with hard flooring. (Vacuuming will not remove dust and vapors. Shampooing will remove some.)> Ensure all products are accurately labeled and that you have manufacturer-provided Safety Data Sheets (SDS) on hand for all products so you can refer to control measures and handling requirements.> Choose a wood for your manicure table that will not soak up the chemicals. According to NIOSH, a veneer-coated particle board works well.> Wash your hands, arms, and face with mild soap and water several times throughout the day to remove dust.> Don't eat or drink in working areas. Certain salon chemicals can cause health problems if swallowed.> Have an HVAC expert clean and evaluate your HVAC system at least once a year.

Hello Karen, TYR does not list the length of the belt itself but it does fit waist sizes 27" - 52".
Answered by SwimOutlet.com on 9/30/2015
They work
I like the adjustable belt and the gloves work ok but the "weights" are just too light! I barely get anything from them as far as resistance. I use them in our local YMCA and bought them for water aerobics. For the price I guess they are good enough.

great product
finally today got to use my kit and I love it, so easy to use and got a great workout. Hope it holds up for a very long time.
Excellent addition to my workout
Major abdominal surgery left me with little core strength and very poor stamina. Treadmill and free weights were just too hard. Once I adjusted to using the water weights, I was able to complete my upper body routine. It feels deceptively easy...until you get out of the water. That's when you know you've just worked every muscle!The flotation belt makes it possible for me to handle 20 minutes of "jogging" as well as lower body resistance exercises.

No. 23 Lady Raiders Tip Off Season Saturday
Nov. 17, 1999
Secret Four in the Fall Classic
Saturday's Game
Scouting the Opponents
The Lady Tigers top returning player is senior forward Katrina Hibbert who averaged a team-high 14.5 points last season, while recording a team-high 142 assists. Also returning is sophomore forward DeTrina White who was second on the team in scoring last year with a 13.1 average. White led the team in rebounding, grabbing 8.2 boards per outing and in blocked shots with 28. Junior guard Marie Ferdinand was fourth last year in scoring with a 12.3 average, while ranking first on the team in steals with 58. The last returning starter is junior forward April Brown who averaged 7.8 points per contest and was second on the team in blocks with 22.
LSU was victorious twice in exhibition games, beating Budapest, 66-50, Nov. 9. Ferdinand led players with 20 points, while Hibbert added 13. For the game, LSU shot 44 percent from the field and 44 percent from the free throw line. Then on Nov. 14, the Lady Tigers defeated the Mississippi All-Stars, 81-66, Nov. 14. Ferdinand again led all players with 21 points, followed by sophomore guard Kisha James with 15, freshman forward Ke-Ke Tardy with 14 and White with 13. Brown had a team-high nine rebounds, while James and Hibbert each had six assists. The Lady Tigers shot 50.8 percent from the field, 83.3 percent from three-point range and 47.6 percent from the line.

A Look Back
Texas Tech led by six points at the intermission, 39-33, but stretched out to a 10-point margin by the midway point of the second half. Freshman Plenette Pierson made her Lady Raider debut in style, scoring nine points of her 14 points in the final 20 minutes. Pierson, Keitha Dickerson and Katrisa O'Neal combined for 22 second-half points to lead the Lady Raider charge. O'Neal scored a game-high 21 points, 15 of which came in the first half. Dickerson finished with 15 rebounds and 13 points. Melinda Schmucker-Pharies returned to her role as floor leader as she handed out a game-high seven assists, while adding nine points. Tech shot 37.8 percent from the field and 65.5 percent from the free throw, while hitting just one of nine three-point attempts.
Lady Raider Head Coach Marsha Sharp
A 1974 graduate of Wayland Baptist University, Sharp was named the National Coach of the Year in 1993 and 1994. She also reaped SWC Coach of the Year honors seven times, five consecutively.
The Lady Raiders - 1999-2000 Outlook
Rene Hanebutt, Cara Gibbs, Julie Lake and Angie Braziel accounted for 48.2 points, 18.1 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game, making up the bulk of the team that Marsha Sharp called one of the all-time favorites to watch play. All is not lost, though, as 1998-99 starters Melinda Schmucker-Pharies and Keitha Dickerson and key role players Katrisa O'Neal, Aleah Johnson and Kristi Washington will look to leave their mark on Lady Raider basketball.
In 1998-99, Schmucker-Pharies tallied 188 assists, second on the all-time Tech list, to lead Texas Tech for the second-straight year. In her career the senior guard from Nazareth has dished out 416 assists and needs 138 in her senior season to become the Lady Raiders' career assists leader.
Schmucker-Pharies was the work horse on the Tech squad in 98-99, leading the team in minutes played with 1,131 in her second-consecutive season to start every game. As a freshman, Schmucker-Pharies averaged 5.9 points per game, then slumped to 3.5 as a sophomore, but matched her freshman scoring average last season.
Dickerson joined Schmucker-Pharies last season as the only non-seniors to start all 34 games for the Raiders. Dickerson, who was second on the team a year ago in rebounds per game at 7.7, enters the 1999-2000 season as Tech's most experienced post player having played in 92 games in her Lady Raider career.
Johnson saw significant action in 1998-99, her first season as a Lady Raider. As a junior, she showed flashes of brilliance, scoring in double figures three times and finishing one rebound shy of a double-double versus UT-San Antonio.
In two seasons O'Neal has gained a reputation as the Lady Raiders Princess of Thieves. O'Neal had 94 takeaways last season, seventh on Tech's all-time single season list, to move her career total to 165. Sharp points to O'Neal, as well as the team's undefeated record when junior guard started games last season, as a player who has earned the opportunity to have a major impact for Texas Tech.
During the recruiting season, Texas Tech netted a pair of high school standouts from the same prep squad. Courtney Pastner earned player of the year for the state of Texas for her senior season, while Kingwood teammate Plenette Pierson was a WBCA All-American selection as a senior in high school.
Six-foot-seven inch center Jamie Nagle from Carthage will become the tallest player to ever wear a Lady Raider uniform. Sharp said her Nagle's size means she has the potential to impact the team from the very first game. Nikki Hendrix, a 6-0 forward from Ardmore, Okla., brings versatility to the three position in the Lady Raider scheme as a big player with play making ability.

A man armed with a knife reportedly entered a Millsboro-area home late Saturday night and attempted to rob the residents, before fleeing empty handed.
A Delaware State Police spokesman said detectives are investigating the home invasion and attempted robbery that occurred in the 29000 block of Cordrey Road, east of Millsboro, about 11:11 p.m.
Master Cpl. Gary Fournier said a man carrying a knife entered the home through the front door and then knocked on the bedroom room door of a 25-year-old male resident and his 24-year-old wife.
When the male victim opened the door, the man pointed the knife and residents and demanded money.
The male victim attempted to grab the knife, but was pushed to the ground, he said.
At that point, the couple's 25-year-old female roommate came to the bedroom to investigate the commotion and was pushed out of the way by the would-be robber as he fled the house empty handed.
None of the residents were injured, Fournier said.
The residents described the intruder only as black and about 5'3".
Anyone with information about the incident or the identity of the home invader is asked to call Delaware State Police at (302) 856-5850 or Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333.

The perfectly round seed of the mustard plant gives heat and depth to a wide variety of dishes. There are three main varieties of mustard plants, with their seeds differentiated more by potency than by flavor. Yellow/white mustard seeds are milder than the black and brown varieties, which have more heat and intensity. The black and brown seeds are toasted whole as the base for many curries, and also in pickling.
Mustard seeds are most familiar in their processed form, as the condiment prepared mustard. Every brand's recipe for mustard varies depending on the blend of flavorings (vinegar, wine, beer, seasonings, sugar), as well as the different seeds. American-style mustards primarily use white seeds; English-style mustards blend brown and white seeds; Dijon mustard uses black or brown seeds. The recipe also depends on the grind of the seeds, combining cracked, coarse "stone-ground," extra-fine, and whole seeds.
Dry mustard, also called powdered mustard, is finely ground mustard seed. It can be used in sauces and salad dressings, or rehydrated into prepared mustard. The most well-known brand of powdered mustard is Colman's, which combines brown and white seeds.
How to Buy
Mustard seeds are available whole, ground into powder, or processed into prepared mustard.
How to Store
Keep mustard seeds in a dark, dry place for up to a year. Keep dry mustard in a dark, dry place for up to six months. Once opened, prepared mustard should be refrigerated for up to two years.

Father's Day is very dear to my heart! Not just because he's the man who taught me how to ride a bike or tie my shoes for the first time, but my father is the reason why I have been able to follow my dreams in sports.
Growing up, I was the lone girl playing football with all of the other boys in elementary school. Reason being, that's all I would watch on TV during the weekends and was all I knew! When I would visit my father, I could always count on watching the football game with him on Saturdays in the Fall, the basketball games in the Winter, and Spring time was when we would play catch when the weather finally turned for the better. He taught me what a blitz was in football, what it meant to run-the-option, and how to fill out my March Madness bracket. His advice--fill in the National Champion first, then fill in the rest.
Now, when I have the luxury of going home and there's a big game on TV, I'm the one who might be giving him my expertise on what the team should run or we debate a call by the officials.
So I'd like to take this moment to say THANK YOU Dad, you have truly allowed me to pursue my dreams! Who knew that watching sports on TV could have such an impact on a little girl like me?
And listen to some of C-USA's Head Coaches as they talk about their plans for Father's Day.
Everyone have a great day!
By Russell Anderson
The 2012 college baseball season is upon us. Around Conference USA, nine schools are about to take to the diamond and start down the road that they all hope will end in Omaha, at the College World Series.
What are some things that you need to know about C-USA Baseball in 2012? In honor of the league's 17th season, here are 17 tidbits to consider:
1. There are no new head coaches in Conference USA this season. The league is stacked with talented leaders in each of the nine dugouts. Among this successful group of skippers, three (Rice's Wayne Graham, Tulane's Rick Jones and UAB's Brian Shoop) rank among the top 23 winningest coaches in the NCAA.
2. When UCF takes the field Friday night for its opener against Long Island, it will be doing so at a renovated Jay Bergman Field. Seating capacity has doubled so that more fans can watch this rising program. The facility now seats 3,300 fans.
3. Besides having one of the best names in Conference USA Baseball, Marshall senior C Thor Meeks boasts a strong swing to go with his solid moniker. Meeks has moved into the school's top 10 for career home runs and averages a round-tripper once every 19 at-bats.
4. East Carolina received a boost in the off-season when C Zach Wright, a sixth round selection by the Philadelphia Phillies, turned down an offer to go pro and returned to Greenville. Wright is an All-C-USA performer who had 15 doubles and 13 homers for the Pirates last season.
5. Tulane senior C Jeremy Schaffer is a preseason All-American who led the Green Wave in 12 different offensive categories. He also paced C-USA in doubles with 23 and owns the top on-base percentage among returning players in the league.
6. Southern Miss C Jared Bales was named to a number of Freshman All-American teams last season. Bales threw out 12 potential base-stealers and made just four errors behind the plate. Bales will be also be counted on to help guide some new faces in the Golden Eagles pitching rotation this spring.
7. You may have noticed that the last four notes all dealt with catchers. There is no doubt that the backstops are among the most talented positional group in C-USA going into 2012. And I haven't even mentioned players like John Cannon of Houston, Craig Manuel of Rice and Ryan Breen of UCF. These talented men behind the plate will play a big part of their team's success at the plate, in the field and working with the pitchers this season.
8. Memphis junior RHP Dan Langfield had 16 strikeouts in a game last year against Kennesaw State, the most by a C-USA Pitcher last season and the third-highest single-game total in league history. He went on to finish with 94 strikeouts, the third-highest total in C-USA.
9. UAB junior RHP Dillon Napoleon became the first Blazer to win a major individual award in C-USA, garnering Newcomer of the Year honors in 2011. The 2012 preseason All-Conference USA selection was 5-3 with a 2.87 ERA in 13 starts.
10. One of the other top newcomers last year was Houston junior SS Chase Jensen. He is the Cougars leading returning hitter (.320) and roped 12 doubles and 45 RBI for Todd Whitting's first UH team. Jensen will be a leader for a Cougar club that welcomes 20 newcomers (13 high schoolers and seven junior college transfers) this spring.
11. Six of the nine schools are at least receiving votes in one of the four major polls. Rice leads the way, earning a top 10 listing in each, placing as high as No. 6 (Baseball America). UCF is ranked in the preseason top 25 for the first time since 1991, with the Knights ranked as high as No. 21 (Baseball America). Southern Miss is No. 29 in the NCBWA poll and No. 30 by Collegiate Baseball, with East Carolina, Houston and Tulane each receiving votes in the national listings.
12. There are always talented newcomers to watch each season in C-USA. Baseball America has published its list of top 50 national freshmen for 2012 and C-USA has five players listed among that group. Southern Miss produced the top two, with SS Connor Barwin at No. 2 and OF/LHP Mason Robbins at No. 17. UCF LHP Eric Skoglund is No. 44, Rice RHP Jordan Stephens is No. 48 and Tulane RHP Alex Massey checks in at No. 49.
13. Conference USA always produces its share of preseason All-Americans and this year is no different. Five different players earned these preseason accolades including four Rice standouts. Representing the Blue and Gray are sophomore RHP Austin Kubitza (the preseason C-USA Pitcher of the Year), junior IF/OF Michael Ratterree and junior utility player J.T. Chargois. Also earning preseason All-American honors were Tulane senior C Jeremy Schaeffer and UCF junior 1B/P D.J. Hicks (the preseason C-USA Player of the Year).
14. Having a good closer is the cornerstone to any bullpen and UCF has a very good one in junior LHP Joe Rogers. The southpaw was named to preseason watch list for the NCBWA Stopper of the Year, given to the nation's top relief pitcher. Last season, Rogers had nine saves, the second-highest single-season total in UCF history. He also had 38 strikeouts and just 10 walks in 41.1 innings pitched.
15. Four C-USA schools are coming off NCAA Regional appearances. East Carolina, Rice, Southern Miss and UCF represented the league in the 2011 NCAA Championship. For Rice it was its 17th consecutive appearance (trailing only Miami (Fla.), Florida State and Cal State Fullerton for the most trips in a row. Southern Miss has now played in nine straight NCAA's, which gives the Golden Eagles the tenth-longest string among all D-I schools. In total, C-USA has produced 68 NCAA appearances in its first 16 seasons.
16. Fans who cannot make it to the park to see their favorite C-USA school in person will be able to follow the league better than ever on television. A record-24 games will appear on national or regional television. Most games not televised are available to view on the C-USA Digital Network.
17. The 2012 Conference USA Championship returns to Trustmark Park in Pearl, Miss. The championship will employ a slightly different format this year with games spread out over five days instead of four. From Wednesday through Saturday there will be three games each day (11 am, 3 pm and 7 pm). The Championship game will now be played on Sunday, May 27 at 1 pm CT.
Poised once again to be one of the nation's top baseball conferences, Conference USA is excited to get the 2012 season underway. Play Ball!

We may not all get the opportunity to strut the red carpet or wear priceless couture and jewels, but that does not mean that the everyday woman can't look just as stunning for their own formal occasion. Who doesn't like catching the eye of everyone in the room and standing out for all the right reasons. Here are four red carpet ready looks to inspire your next formal affair.
Jarlo button through maxi dress with lace insert, in navy, is stunning while leaving oglers a bit of mystery. Give the look some edge with these ASOS TOWER embellished shoe boots. Forget the traditional accessories and make a real statement with the ASOS PREMIUM Waterfall headband & hand harness and a little extra interest with an ASOS semi precious rectangular stone ring.
For a more whimsical look try the ASOS maxi dress with an embellished waist, in nude. Draw some interest downwards with a small pop of color, New Look's simple nude mid heeled sandals have it with a punch of pink. With the neckline of the dress, a necklace might be too much so play up other accessories. ASOS filigree chain chandelier earrings are a great eye catcher especially with a sleek up-do. One more piece of body decor ties a bracelet and ring into one with the PL by Peter Lang arrow hand chain.
Those wanting to channel the typical sexy look of J. Lo. can achieve it in the AQ AQ halterneck maxi dress, with an open front. ASOS HIGHLAND heeled sandals really amp up the sex appeal. With the impact from the dress on its own, the only other item to accompany the ensemble are these ASOS jewel cluster earrings.
The Little Mistress printed bandeau maxi dress strays away from the typical solid but is still a classic. Keep the shoes simple and timeless with ASOS PUNCHLINE peep-toe platforms. Glam it up with matching Oasis opaque statement collar and Oasis opaque statement drop earrings, and complete the look with this New Look sleek sandblast cuff.

EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques workshops are the best place to learn how to apply this healing modality for personal or professional use. The live EFT workshops offer a safe environment where one can practice the art of delivering EFT effectively while understanding the science behind this method. Craig Weiner, DC, EFT trainer, sees a huge difference between students that have learned EFT on their own versus those that spend time at a real EFT training workshop, "While there's much that can be learned by independent study the key to excellence comes from being observed, corrected, challenged with masterful feedback from a trainer. The problem is that we don't know what we don't know- that can be a serious problem when learning a new skill."
There are a few organizations that offer EFT certification and EFT training. The newest one is through the Alternative Healthcare Professionals (AHP). Although this is a new organization it is made up of longtime well-experienced five star top EFT trainers. Workshops will start rounding out throughout the United States, and the United Kingdom. EFT certification workshops will include beginner level (level 1) for self-application, advanced level (level 2) for those wishing to use it professionally. In the coming year other EFT workshop offerings will include level 3, specialty workshops such as Matrix Reimprinting, master level trainings, and training of EFT trainers.
Seattle EFT workshop facilitators at the EFT Tapping Training organization plan on holding their first AHP EFT workshop level 1 in the Seattle region on May 2nd followed by level 2 on May 3rd and 4th.
Level 1 includes: Theory and Science behind EFT Basic Long Version Basic Short Cut How to Apply EFT on Physical Issues How to Apply EFT on Addictions and Craving How to Apply EFT on Fears and Phobias How to Apply EFT on Traumas Explanation of the Foundational Concepts The Tell the Story Technique The EFT Movie Technique Demonstrations and Practice Sessions
Level 2 includes: Review of Level 1 Material The 3 Gentle Techniques What to Do When it Appears to Not be Working How to Apply EFT to Resolving Negative Belief Systems How to Uncover and Resolve Core Issues Demonstrations and Practice Sessions
Both EFT workshops will offer continuing education credits, without additional charges, for a variety of healthcare professions including social workers, acupuncturists, massage therapists and bodyworkers. Attending live EFT workshops and trainings is the first crucial step in becoming an EFT certified practitioner. Other steps include hiring a mentor, practice sessions, review of case studies, personal hours working on one's own issues, required reading, and an online test.

Docket No. AB 33 (Sub-No. 307X)
Digest:[1] The Board is permitting the Union Pacific Railroad Company to abandon a line without requiring that it be made available for purchase to continue operations or for other public uses.
Decided: October 17, 2012
On June 27, 2012, Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 C.F.R. pt. 1152 subpart F—Exempt Abandonments to abandon a 23.90-mile freight rail operating easement for the remaining portion of the Boulder Industrial Lead, extending from milepost 9.27 near Eastlake to the end of the line at milepost 33.17 near Valmont, in Adams, Weld, and Boulder Counties, Colo. (the line).
On that same date, UP filed a supplement to the notice of exemption seeking exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 10904 (offer of financial assistance (OFA) procedures) and 49 U.S.C. § 10905 (public use conditions) for the proposed abandonment.
In a petition filed on July 20, 2012, as amended on July 25, 2012, UP: (1) withdraws the supplement to the notice of exemption; (2) seeks Board approval for exemptions from 49 U.S.C. §§ 10904 and 10905 for the proposed abandonment prior to publication of the notice of exemption in the Federal Register; and (3) requests that the notice of exemption filed on June 27, 2012, be held in abeyance pending Board action on its petition.[2] UP also has requested expedited action. As discussed below, the exemption requests will be granted.
According to UP, the entire Boulder Industrial Lead, including the 23.90-mile right-of-way over which UP is seeking to abandon its freight operating easement, along with the Lead's trackage, structures, and bridges, was sold to the Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD) in June 2009. UP retained a freight operating easement over the entire Lead. UP states that the line has been incorporated into the master plan for RTD's integrated mass transit system known as FasTracks (a regional public passenger rail and bus network for the greater Denver, Colo. area) and that it would not be suitable for other public purposes, including roads or highways, or other forms of transportation, trails, conservation, energy production or transmission, or recreation. UP also states that the area that the Boulder Industrial Lead served has now shifted away from rail oriented industries, and, as a consequence, no new shippers are expected to locate on the line.
The Board will grant exemptions under 49 U.S.C. § 10502, as appropriate, from certain statutory requirements. In its petition, UP seeks exemption from the OFA provisions at 49 U.S.C. § 10904 and the public use provisions at 49 U.S.C. § 10905 with respect to its proposed abandonment that is the subject of the notice of exemption filed in this docket.
Exemption from Section 10904. Under 49 U.S.C. § 10904, a financially responsible person may offer to purchase, or subsidize continued rail operations over, a rail line sought to be abandoned. Under 49 U.S.C. § 10502, however, the Board must exempt a transaction or service from regulation when it finds that: (1) continued regulation is not necessary to carry out the rail transportation policy of 49 U.S.C. § 10101; and (2) either (a) the transaction or service is of limited scope, or (b) regulation is not necessary to protect shippers from the abuse of market power. The Board has granted exemptions from the OFA provisions of 49 U.S.C. § 10904 when the record shows that the right-of-way is needed for a valid public purpose and there is no overriding public need for continued freight rail service. See, e.g., Norfolk S. Ry.—Aban. Exemption—in Norfolk & Va. Beach, Va., AB 290 (Sub-No. 293X) (STB served Nov. 6, 2007).
UP has justified an exemption from the OFA process. First, UP has demonstrated that the line is needed for a valid public purpose—inclusion in RTD's mass transit system. In addition, there is no overriding public need for continued freight rail service.[3] No freight traffic has moved over the line for at least two years. With regard to future rail service needs, UP states that the development in the area of Boulder, Colo., served by the Lead is shifting away from rail-oriented industries, decreasing the likelihood that rail-oriented shippers would locate on the Lead. Accordingly, we find that a valid public purpose is present, and that there is no overriding public need for continued freight rail service.
We further conclude that applying the OFA provisions in this situation is not necessary to carry out the rail transportation policy. Allowing the abandonment that is the subject of the notice of exemption in this docket to become effective expeditiously, without the abandonment first being subject to these provisions, will minimize the need for Federal regulatory control over the rail transportation system, expedite the regulatory action, and reduce regulatory barriers to exit, consistent with 49 U.S.C. §§ 10101(2) and (7). Other aspects of the rail transportation policy will not be adversely affected. As discussed above, regulation is not necessary to protect shippers from an abuse of market power because there are no shippers on the line.[4] Thus, the record here establishes that the proposed exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 10904 meets the criteria of 49 U.S.C. § 10502.
Exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 10905. UP also seeks exemption from the public use provisions of 49 U.S.C. § 10905. Section 10905 has been interpreted to promote the use of property for alternate public purposes such as roads, highways, other forms of mass transportation, conservation, energy production or transmission, or recreation. UP's justification for its request is that the entire Boulder Industrial Lead, including the 23.90-mile right-of-way, has been sold and incorporated into RTD's mass transit system, and therefore, the line is not suited for other public purposes. See, e.g., Wisconsin Cent.—Aban.—in Ozaukee, Sheboygan and Manitowoc Cntys. Wis., AB 303 (Sub-No. 27) (STB served Oct. 18, 2004).
For the same reasons discussed with respect to the § 10904 exemption above, the record here also establishes that the proposed exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 10905 meets the criteria of 49 U.S.C. § 10502. Therefore, we will exempt the abandonment that is the subject of the notice of exemption in this docket from this provision, as well.
Similarly, there will not be an opportunity for interested persons to file trail use/rail banking requests. Under Section 8(d) of the National Trail Systems Act, 16 U.S.C. § 1247(d), trail use/rail banking is voluntary and can only be implemented if an abandoning railroad agrees to negotiate an agreement. Because the right-of-way that makes up the subject portion of the Boulder Lead has already been sold and incorporated into the RTD mass transit system, UP states that it will not negotiate for trail use/rail banking. Therefore, we will not entertain such requests.
Expedited action. UP requests expedited handling for its petition. To accommodate UP's request, we will make the §§ 10904 and 10905 exemptions effective on the service date of this decision. The notice of exemption will be published in the Federal Register on October 23, 2012.
This action will not significantly affect either the quality of the human environment or the conservation of energy resources.
It is ordered:
1. UP's petition is granted.
2. UP's request to exempt the above-described abandonment proposal from the provisions of 49 U.S.C. § 10904 and 49 U.S.C. § 10905 prior to publication is granted.
3. This decision is effective on its service date.
By the Board, Chairman Elliott, Vice Chairman Mulvey, and Commissioner Begeman.
[1] The digest constitutes no part of the decision of the Board but has been prepared for the convenience of the reader. It may not be cited to or relied upon as precedent. Policy Statement on Plain Language Digests in Decision, EP 696 (STB served Sept. 2, 2010).
[2] UP's request to hold the notice of exemption in abeyance was granted by a decision served on July 26, 2012. Union Pacific R.R.—Aban. Exemption—in Adams Weld and Boulder Cntys., Colo., AB 33 (Sub-No. 307X) (STB served July 26, 2012). While the Board accommodated the petitioner here, this is not the preferred procedural approach. Even if the abandonment is eligible for a class exemption, if a petitioner also seeks exemptions that must be ruled upon by the entire Board, the better practice is to file one petition for exemption seeking both the abandonment and any other requested exemptions.
[3] See Can. Nat'l Ry.—Aban. Exemption—in Niagara Cnty., N.Y., AB 279 (Sub-No. 6X), slip op. at 4 (STB served Aug. 3, 2012) (STB found no overriding need for continued freight rail service in authorizing rail freight carrier's cessation of its freight service obligation, and exemption from the OFA process, over line owned by bi-national commission in order to facilitate additional passenger rail service).
[4] Given our market power finding, we need not determine whether the proposed transaction is limited in scope.

SCR: Considering you've been so successful in your life, is there a core set of values you have that you turn back to? Something that you consider the essence of Joe Gibbs, that you can apply to football, to racing, and now to your performance business?Gibbs: In my case, with the three things that I've been involved in, I've found that being able to talk to people is very important. You've got to understand what makes them tick, and picking people is critical. It starts with character, which I think is very important. So all those principles are kind of what I believe in. In a part of the book I wrote (Racing to Win) I talk about the key areas in life. That's occupation, relationships, and health issues. I think they are all really important. Team building is huge, and so I try to take all those issues and relate them back to what I think is important. God kind of gives us a game plan here in this world, and if we follow that game plan in those areas, to me, that's what leads to success.
SCR: In essence, leadership is probably your strongest asset.Gibbs: Well, I think it's the people skills. There are a lot of things. Going into specifics, it's being able to talk to a team, communicate with team members. You've got to be a good teacher. It's all the things that you're trying to use and how you pick people. If you go back into a person's history and start talking to people they had contact with 10 years ago, then you develop a profile over a 10-year period. It's not just where they graduated from and how they tested, but actually going into their background. Chances are most people grow up and become successful in life in about a period of 10 years. You see in their past a history of accomplishing and doing well and being the right kind of person and being an achiever.
SCR: You have a very strong faith, and I wouldn't say the football world is known for, at least overtly, being faith-based. In particular, I think there is a newer generation of football player. I'll generalize, but they're known as selfish, self-centered, and maybe self-referential.Gibbs: In the past, some people have asked how I deal with those guys. They make a lot of money, have huge egos, etc. But truly, that wasn't my experience. We had tremendous team spirit; we had guys looking out for the team, guys who would sacrifice for the team. Yeah, there was a business side of it, but once they crossed those lines, I found the really great players are just like the really great drivers, in that they're not thinking about how much money they're making today. Instead, they're thinking how they want to win this race, and I found the really great players are not focused on money, but rather on how they want to try to win the game. So I've found (the negative reputations of pro athletes) are greatly overstated. Great players in football and great crewmen and drivers and everyone in racing are not focused on that. They want to really and truly be great. They want the ball; they want to make the play to win. Drivers say, 'give me the stuff to win.' It's more along those lines instead of self-centeredness or being worried about themselves.
SCR: Here you are at this point in life, with three Super Bowl titles and two Winston Cups titles. Obviously you are a goal setter, so what's the goal? What do you set in front of you now?Gibbs: With each one of those Super Bowl wins or the NASCAR championships, I would hear people ask what I get a kick out of. It's a different group of people on almost every single level that went with you to climb that particular mountain. Obviously it was Bobby Labonte and that whole group; then there was Tony Stewart and the Home Depot group; and certainly with the football team, it was '82, '87, and '91, so that was with a different group of characters and trying to see them accomplish this goal. Certainly it's always something totally different to strive for, too.
SCR: So, a Super Bowl is in the cards then?Gibbs: No, it's not in the cards. That's what's exciting about it.
This is probably 90-95 percent high risk, and you're probably not going to get what you want. So I'm very wide open on something. Everybody wants to win a championship, but it took us nine years to win the first one in motorsports. So is that the dream? Yeah, it's a dream, but we all know most of the time our dreams never come true.
SCR: How are the sponsors of Joe Gibbs Racing taking this?Gibbs: We've had lengthy talks with the sponsors and have been in constant contact with them. I think they look at the upside, too. Basically, what are the things that I can bring to the table that weren't there originally? So we're hoping that some of the things that we get to do to cover this will actually enhance the benefit to the sponsors. And like I said, we have the management team and everything in place, and I think the sponsors have great confidence in our group.
SCR: Having you around has to be a motivating factor to your race team, but now you won't be around as much. How are you going to satisfy that need with your race team? Will you be making regular trips back?Gibbs: The 200 people here know me, and they know what the race team means to me. I think that's a big part of it. I think I've explained to them in detail how I envision this helping. For instance, their jobs and the number one thing that they want me to do is keep the money coming in and keep the sponsors in place. Otherwise, they won't have a job. So that's first. They could give a flip about me walking around here talking. They simply want to have a job. And so I think they understand all that. They know and they kind of trust me, and I think they look at what I do best for them. A lot of them joke about me being at the racetrack because I don't do anything there anyway, except provide moral support. So I think they understand the ins and outs of the racing thing, and our racing family here is pretty tight.
SCR: What do you think of the changes NASCAR made to the points system?Gibbs: I think that's going to be a radical deal for us. It's going to take a lot of different strategies. I think it's a huge change. We have some concerns about part of it, but we also know that NASCAR has done a very good job of directing the sport to where it is today. We've got to thank the France family for the leadership, because they've been terrific. I think that if they think this is best for the sport, then of course, we're on board.

I'm new to Linux. How can I copy a file or directory from the Debian OS to Mac or Windows?
You can share filesystems across these platforms but this requires some basic network/sharing configuration on all involved systems.
Sharing via Filesystems
On OS X you can enable File Sharing in System Preferences -> Sharing
By default only AFP sharing is enabled which may not be available in a standard Linux setup (and definitively is not available on Windows). To also enable Samba/Windows sharing, click on "Options..." and enable Samba sharing there.
Sharing via Syncing solution
An alternative and rather easy approach would be to install either Dropbox or BitTorrent Sync on all systems and use this to copy data over.

We've been having an odd winter here in San Francisco. Up until a few days ago it seemed like we had completely skipped winter and moved straight into Spring. All of the plants around here are confused. They had begun to bud and grow, and now they're getting buffeted by rain and cold winds. Go figure. Regardless of whether we're actually going to get one, we're barreling towards Spring, and with spring in San Francisco comes lots of wine tasting events, and a few really good ones.
The Annual Rhone Rangers Tasting in San Francisco is certainly one of the spring highlights for wine lovers in the Bay Area. Held at Fort Mason, like many of the other big tastings, Rhone Rangers offers the chance for wine lovers to taste through a vast field of Syrah, Grenache, Viognier, and many other varietals and blends that fall under the general banner of Rhone-style wines.
I adore these wines, and this is always a great tasting event. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially those that might be stuck in a Cabernet rut (or a Merlot, Chardonnay, or Sauvignon Blanc rut for that matter). There's a lot more out there in the wine world, and this tasting will provide a heck of an education to anyone looking to explore alternatives to such varieties.
And of course, for those who are crazy for Rhone-style wines, then there's a whole weekend of activities, including two seminars and a winemaker dinner on Saturday, and of course the grand tasting on Sunday morning. Complete details can be found on the event web site.
How about a couple of free tickets? Let's run a little contest here. I want Rhone limericks. Come up with a limerick, and you'll get a chance to win a free ticket to the grand tasting. I'll pick two names out of a hat from those who enter. Here's a refresher on the rhyme form:
There once was a wine from the Rhone
Who hated to be all alone
He dreamed of recitals
With multiple varietals
And so got Chateauneuf on the phone.
Take your best shot by March 17th (why did he choose that day, I wonder?) and we'll give away a couple of tickets.
2011 Rhone Rangers Grand Tasting
Sunday, March 25th
2:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Fort Mason Festival Pavilion
Buchanan Street and Marina Blvd
San Francisco, CA
Tickets to the grand tasting are $45 in advance (a $15 drop from last year), and should be purchased online. Use the promo code SDKGT312 when you register to get $5 off the grand tasting or use promo code SDKWP312 to save a total of $60 off the combination ticket if you're up for the full weekend of events.
And remember my tips for optimum enjoyment at public tastings: wear dark, comfortable clothes; get a good night's sleep; come with food in your belly; drink lots of water; and SPIT !

Each Spring something peculiar happens in Downtown Fargo. The streets flood with hoards of bloody, beer-thirsty zombies.
Saturday, May 15, the dead rise again for the 3rd annual Zombie Pub Crawl, starting at Duffy's at 4 p.m.
Whether you plan on dowsing yourself in food-coloring and corn syrup, or you want to go all out with the professional costume make-up, zombifying will grant you access to drink specials at participating bars and discounted admission to the after-party rock show at the Aquarium featuring GhostHandPunch, The Box Elders and Har Mar Superstar.
Most of the bars in Downtown Fargo are stops along the crawl, with the exception of the bar/restaurants that offer fine dining (think HoDo, Monte's) and the Side Street, which according to the official ZPC FaceBook page, has requested to be left out this year.
The last official stop on the crawl is Dempsey's and the Aquarium (above Dempsey's) where F-M indie-pop GhostHandPunch, Omaha pop-rock The Box Elders (with their smooth sound that plays tribute to music of the 50s and 60s) and West Coast dance-pop sensation Har Mar Superstar (touring his latest album, "Dark Touches") ring in the zombie apocalypse at 10 p.m.
Participation in the crawl is free, but all zombies must be 21 years old or older to enter bars (including the Aquarium). Advanced tickets for GHP, The Box Elders and Har Mar are $8, available at TicketWeb.com, Orange Records and The Red Raven. It's $10 at the door, but zombies get in for $6.

When I first starting becoming conscious of food, I thought supplements were just a way for people who eat badly to get their nutrients. I was eating tons of vegetables, fruits, and nutrient dense meals. I didn't need supplements, right? Wrong.
The reason we all need to be supplementing our diets is because no matter how well we eat, we aren't getting all we need. This is due in part to the decreasing quality of our soil and also to our deficient diets.
There are a few staples that I think are super beneficial if taken every day. As always, before you start taking supplements and for condition specific protocols– you'll want to talk to the Doc.
6 Supplements You Need to Take Everyday:
1) Multivitamin: A good multivitamin covers a lot of bases. They can help support us when where we are lacking. There are just a few things to remember when looking to purchase one.
- Make sure that it is from real food rather than synthetic. It will be more easily absorbed and assimilated in the body if it's directly from a plant. I take Microplex VMz from Doterra.
- Pay attention to serving sizes and daily value percentages. Generally speaking, the higher the percentage, the better.
2) Omega 3: Omega 3's are essential to a healthy diet. They are incredible anti-inflammatories and therefore amazing for all kinds of diseases. They are also essential for proper brain function and heart health. There are generally 3 different types of Omega 3 sources.
- Animal Based: This will include fish oil, cod liver oil, and krill oil. Make SURE you are getting your fish oils from a clean source that is free of heavy metals. My personal favorite is krill oil from Dr. Mercola.
- Plant Based: The most commonly supplemented plant oil is flax oil. If you are looking for a vegan option for Omega 3's this is what you'll want. Udo's oil is renowned for being the best on the market.
- Combo Oils: This is a great option if you don't want to take 2 different types of oil. My favorite right now is Doterra's xEO Omega.
3) Vitamin D: 3/4 of Americans are vitamin D deficient. It is essential for healthy bones because it helps us absorb calcium. Without enough, it can increase our risk for cancer, asthma, and cognitive issues. Also, if you have daytime tiredness, you may be vitamin D deficient.
- Sunshine: Gasp! I am actually telling you to go sit out in the sun without sunscreen. Sunscreen blocks us from getting vitamin D, so try to get 20 minutes a day of direct sun exposure. If you are totally freaked out by this, no worries, you can take a supplement.
- D3 in pill form: The recommended daily dose is 400 IUs a day for adults but most experts believe that to be way too low. We need more like 1,000-6,000 IUs. Try this one.
4) Algae: I take a form of algae every day in my morning smoothie. They are some of the most nutrient dense foods on the plant and are the highest sources of chlorophyll you can find. They are also high in protein, amino acids, B12 and fatty acids. They are incredible for detoxifying the body.
- Chlorella: Excellent for cleansing and detoxing from heavy metals. I like this one.
- Spirulina: Great for general detoxifying and higher in protein. Try this.
- Blue Green Algae: I only recently discovered E3Live which is wild harvested from the Klamath Lake in Oregon. This stuff is AMAZING. They freeze it live so it is full of live and active nutrients.
5) Probiotics: I've talked before about how gut health is everything. Good gut bacteria is essential for immune system functioning and cognitive functioning. Everything starts in the gut and we much be supporting it to function at it's best. There are 2 ways to get probiotics.
- Fermented Foods: This is the best way to get probiotics. You can eat and drink things like kimchi, sauerkraut, yogurt, and kombucha tea. Make sure your fermented foods are raw or else most of the probiotics will be dead.
- Probiotic Supplement: If you have a hard time getting your hands on fermented foods, a supplement is the next best thing. Garden of life has a great and raw product that is the best on the market.
6) Coenzyme Q10: CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant that energizes every cell in your body. It is necessary for healthy cell function and prevents cell damage. It is known as the miracle antioxidant because it is so powerful for anti-aging.
- Cellular Complex: I get my CoQ10 from a cellular complex called Alpha CRS+ that I take every day. It has lots of other antioxidants in it as well to support cell health.
- Ubiquinol: This is the easiest to assimilate form of CoQ10 and it is especially important to take this form of it the older you are. You can buy it here. If you are on statin drugs, this is a MUST.
Since I have been supplementing with these every day, I feel like I have so much more energy. I think you will too.
Question: What are your daily essential supplements? Are you excited about adding some of these to your daily regime? Let me know in the comments below.
Today I choose to believe that every little thing I do makes a big difference. What do you choose?

Paratarsotomus macropalpis is the scientific name for a California mite that is smaller than a sesame seed, but has newly acquired the title of the fastest land animal on Earth. A cheetah tops out at speeds around 60 mph, which equals running 16 of its full body lengths per second. The Paratarsotomus macropalpis has the capacity to run 322 body lengths per second, according to NewsMax on April 29.
The discovery of this mite that travels faster than any land animal may help develop new designs for things like robots, claims a research student from Pitzer College. This student wrote about his findings on the Paratarsotomus macropalpis in the Journal of the Federation of American Experimental Biology.
According to Natural World News, the previous record-holder was the Australian tiger beetle, which can run at 171 body lengths per second. The mite has long legs and a long body, which is nearly twice as long as broad. The mite is not a hard thing to find, it is usually seen running along rocks or sidewalks in California.
Research student Samuel Rubin assisted Jonathan Wright, a biology professor at Pomona College, in the Paratarsotomus macropalpis study. The findings were presented on Sunday in San Diego to the Experimental Biology 2014 meeting.
While Wright and Rubin were studying the muscle biochemistry of animal legs they ran across the Paratarsotomus macropalpis. They recorded the mite and calculated the speed that it traveled by using a high-speed camera.
This mite is not only speedy, it sounds like its almost indestructible. They found that the mite can run on concrete heated to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. It is also good at changing directions and can basically stop on a dime.
The duo is still trying to find if this mite has an upper limit to its relative speed or stride frequency. The data they've collected and compared with data from other animals suggests that if this mite does have a limit, they have not found it yet.

When you are moving away from your hometown or state for a job, you need to know the first steps to take! Here are some tips to tell you what you should do when considering a job elsewhere.
Never move somewhere else unless you have already accepted the job offer – If you move out of town or out of state without making sure you have the job, you may find yourself stuck in a strange place where you do not know anyone, or any place that is hiring.
In addition, you may have a difficult time finding your way around to find places that are hiring! This could turn into a disaster, so always be sure that you know you actually have the job before moving.
Transfer your skills to a different field in your current company – You do not have to change jobs and move away, you can still work for the same company, as long as they have available positions! All you have to do is find out if your company has other available positions that would interest you, and apply for the job!
Just because you already work for that company, does not mean you will be able to get a different field; however, you can always apply because you never know; they may be looking for an employee just like you!
If you have children, do not tell them about the move until you are sure that it will happen – Do not tell them about even applying for job far away! The only time you should tell them about moving is when you have locked in a new position in a new location. If you tell them about the job interview, or even applying for the job, they might get very nervous, or they could get their hopes up for no reason. Children are very sensitive and should be handled with care on this sort of situation!
Research the locations where you want to live – Do this by looking at the company's locations with available positions. This way, you will move somewhere, where you actually want to live!
Rent out your previous home – When you move and are having trouble selling the home, try renting out your home! It will give you income faster than selling it, in addition to giving you money each month instead of a lump some at one time.
Consider the affect of your income if you are married – If your spouse has to lose his or her job, it will affect your income as well. This means you will need to research what you will be making if he or she loses their job, and then start looking for a place to live based on that amount of money. Try to account for your future bills, car payments, etc. This will give you a better idea of what you have to spend for other items.
Prepare yourself for the new locations' cost of everything that you buy now – For example, is buying a new house cheaper in the new location, or would renting an apartment be the better option for now? In addition, think about daily costs such as food, gasoline, groceries, toiletries, etc. All of these things you will need to know before moving away so that you are well-prepared for what you will have to spend.
Ask for relocation cost help from your employer – Most of the time you can ask your employer for relocation cost, but normally it will mostly happen when you have a high-level executive job; however, you can ask with any job!

You already know that little things go a long way toward ensuring that your kids' day is bright and enjoyable. A special treat here, a little break there, and somehow, the day is much brighter than it would have been otherwise. What about leaving little surprises for your kids first thing in the morning? You can make it a first-day-of-school tradition and build from there. You can build up to it for a while, leaving little things leading up to a bigger one. You can taunt them with a hidden treat and then expand it later. For example: check out the sideshow to see the owl that "hatched" out of an egg that was found waiting at the breakfast table one morning.
What are your kids interested in? What makes them excited? You can leave them any kind of treat: a book or a movie for them to enjoy later in the day; new art supplies; a bit of candy. Or, you can print something: bookmarks, coloring pages, little signs that they'll enjoy.
Breakfast itself can also be the surprise. If you have a special treat up your sleeve, prepare it before the kids are up, and let them discover it when they come in. You can fix cinnamon rolls, pancakes, or anything that catches their fancy.
Do your children have a particular hobby—perhaps a book or movie that they really enjoy? Find recipes or pictures from that series. Do they enjoy playing a game? Leave it waiting at their place at the table.
These little treats and surprises will get your day off to an excellent start. It will put the kids in a good mood, put you in a good mood, and make everyone more eager to get through the day—especially if there's a further reward waiting at the end.
