How to Fix a Dryer Heating Element
When your dryer is not heating up more than likely the issue is your heating element. This is a common problem that most people are afraid to handle. Heating elements are not repairable so when they go out, they have to be replaced. You can save yourself some money by fixing or installing a new dryer heating element.
Things You'll Need:
- Dryer heating element specific to your dryer Screwdriver Long nosed pliers
Step 1
Disconnect the dryer from the power source before beginning any work. You can disconnect from the wall outlet, from the fuse box or by flipping the circuit breaker.
Step 2
Pull the dryer away from the wall so you can get to the back of the dryer.You may want to pull the dryer out from the wall with the help of a partner so that you do not strain your back if you have a heavy model.
Step 3
Remove the back of the dryer using a screwdriver as needed to remove the screws. Put the screws you have taken out in a safe place so you can retrieve them easily when you replace the back of the dryer.
Step 4
Use long nosed pliers to remove three items from the back of the dryer. Once the back of the dryer has been removed you will see a long vertical can on the right side of the dryer. You will need to unscrew one 5/16 inch hex screw to get this can loose. Do not remove it from the dryer. You just need to loosen it so that the can can be removed. Loosening the screw will allow you to tip the can rearward and lift off the two bottom hooks. Also remove the limit thermostat wire just above the can and the thermal fuse wires. The thermal wire is a small device mounted high on the side of the can with two wires attached. This should all come away as one piece.
Step 5
Remove the old heating element by sliding it out of the can. This should leave a shell where the can was that is held in place by one small screw.
Step 6
Slide your new heating element into the shell that held the old heating element. Work gently since there is not much holding the back of the dryer together right now.
Step 7
Restore the back of the dryer to its original condition. Put the can that the heating element is inside back inside the dryer. Attach hex screw to hold box in. Put the dryer back onto the dryer and use screws to hold back onto dryer

REDWOOD CITY, CA/Jan. 3, 2013 Sixty-one potential nonprofit grant recipients a new record for the district have filed letters of intent to apply for Caring Community funding, handing Sequoia Healthcare District's Grants Committee a hefty work load as it begins to evaluate how to distribute $1.34 million set aside in the 201314 fiscal year for its community health priorities.
The priorities are: Health Literacy Food Security Preventive Health Care Behavioral Health (e.g., family violence, mental health, substance use) Chronic Disease Management.
This is Sequoia Healthcare District's twelfth annual grant-making cycle, which to date has returned more than $25.5 million to the community in health-related programs operated by 501(c) 3 charitable nonprofits.
Last year 50 agencies applied for the $1.35 million available, with 29 reaching the final grant-making stage.
In the nine years prior to 2011 the Caring Community grants program was managed by an outside consulting agency that helped set the parameters, briefed potential applicants, coordinated the application process and assisted the Grants Committee.
Three years ago the district brought the program in-house. District Chief Operating Officer Lee Michelson now manages all aspects of the application process at considerable cost savings. Michelson credits an aggressive communications and community outreach effort with the greater penetration of the grants program.
It had been growing steadily until last year, when the number of applications jumped to 50 from the mid-30s.
The new high of 61 applicants is no surprise, Michelson said.
"The district has recognized for some time that there is tremendous unmet need in the community for all its priority funding areas," he said. "District directors are doing their best to fill in the blanks in coordination with a number of community and governmental health agencies, but it's a big bill to fill."
Grantees must pass muster in a process that requires a letter of intent, a complete and detailed application, review by a Grants Committee drawn from the district Board of Directors and community leaders, a signed contract, six-month incremental funding and six-month and 12-month evaluations reviewed by the district.
A summary of requests for the letters filed thus far shows the 61 agencies in sum have requested $3.355 million in program amounts, with an average grant request of $55,000. Grant amounts range from a low of $5,100 to the maximum allowed of $100,000.
Twenty-five requests come from previous successful applicant agencies; 31 are new to the program.
Sequoia Healthcare District funding directly assists more 40,000 women, children and seniors in the district, which includes the cities of Atherton, Belmont, Menlo Park, Portola Valley, Redwood City, San Carlos, Woodside, and portions of San Mateo and Foster City from Skyline Boulevard to the Bay.

Lagonna-Band Trailblazer is one of the newest Magic: The Gathering cards from Wizards of the Coast's expert expansion set Journey Into Nyx. Featured in the Mortals of Myth intro pack, Lagonna-Band Trailblazer is a cheap heroic creature which can quickly grow in size.
Lagonna-Band Trailblazer - W
Creature - Centaur Scout (Common)
Heroic - Whenever you cast a spell that targets Lagonna-Band Trailblazer, put a +1/+1 counter on Lagonna-Band Trailblazer.
Go forth with honor, return with glory.
Lagonna-Band Trailblazer can slow down your opponent's early advances, thanks to its large toughness of four. It's that high toughness which keeps it out of the range of Lightning Strike, Magma Jet, and Searing Blood. After being targeted a few times, say by an Ajani's Presence or bestow creature such as Observant Alseid Lagonna-Band Trailblazer easily becomes a massive defensive creature that your opponent will need to use their Hero's Downfall or other removal spell on if they want to pass by.
Lagonna-Band Trailblazer may not be the sexiest creature, however we can easily see it being in the sideboard of some decks to help deal with aggressive Gruul, Boros, and Rakdos strategies.
How will you use Lagonna-Band Trailblazer?

Liberals have no clue what is good for the people or this country, just what is good for their pocketbooks.
Printable View
So, now that we got that out of the way, and people have vented about California and liberals, can someone put up a list of what they think are decent pocket guns that are on the California drop list? I can search all I want on the DOJ website, but I haven't a clue if the guns I come across are any good. I want a high quality pocket gun, that fits flat in my pocket and will go bang every time. I have a couple of different revolver, but thye are a bit too noticeable.
My post was intended as a bit of levity. Seriously though, CA DOJ sucks. Most of the guns that I could think of that might work, aren't on the list. I don't know a heck of a lot about pocket pistols, so I found the whole thing a bit annoying.
Beretta Tomcat, maybe? The Cheetah looks a bit large for a "pocket pistol," but it's certainly worth a look."
Bersa Thunder, some people love them, some hate them. There seems to be very little middle ground.
How about a baby Glock?
I love my S&W model 60 . If I get a concealed carry permit, I'd just carry 38 ammo in it, though. I was able to get this at a better price than a model 36, plus it's more versatile. I just didn't like the idea of sticking one of those little 380's without a safety in my pocket and I fired an air weight and didn't like it at all. Of course, if I did get a permit to carry, I might just carry a bigger firearm, but I just try to avoid being in situations now, where I would need to carry a firearm. Pepper spray works well if you get harassed by dogs and I carry a heavy walking stick on my walks. So it's a choice I have to make. I'd like to have a lot more training before I consider getting a permit and would really like to go through the rest of my life without ever having to use a gun in a self defense situation. I am getting too old to run, though, which would be one of my first choices to avoid a beating or being robbed, so carrying a handgun and being able to use it and make the right choices in a dangerous situation, is something I have to think about.

Choosing Child Care Homes and Centers: Your Choice - Your Responsibility
- Call for information - ask about:
- Hours, days, fees
- How many children and their ages
- Staff experience, training, turnover
- Transportation to school and activities
- Meals and snacks
- Whether unannounced visits are allowed
- Are the children busy, happy, and interacting with adults?
- Is the play area, bathroom and kitchen clean?
- Are the toys clean, in good condition, and age appropriate?
- How are problems handled (crying, fighting, shyness)
- Look at the posted child care license and latest Report of Inspection
- Are parents encouraged to visit and ask questions?
- What is the child/staff ratio?
- How are emergencies handled?
- What is the discipline policy?
- Review the current meals and snacks
- Review the daily routine: activities – outdoor/indoor, quiet/active, group/alone, planned/free times
- What are the sick and vacation policies?
- What about medications?
- What about naps?
- Is a written agreement for parent/care giver responsibilities?
- What is the first aid knowledge?
- What about television viewing?
- Are their any extra charges, and for what?
- References
- Would my child fit into this group?
- Would my child's emotional, social and learning needs be recognized and developed here?
- Am I satisfied that my child will be safe and comfortable in this setting?
Your responsibility continues:
- After your child is enrolled:
- Visit at least every 3 months (unannounced)
- Talk to your child every day regarding how things are
- Watch for any changes in personality
- Talk with other parents
- Give no "blanket" permission for outings
- Authorization: prohibit release of you child to those unauthorized
- Talk with the director or care giver
- Talk with other parents
- Listen to your child. If (s)he is constantly unhappy or withdrawn, something is wrong.
- Bedwetting, nightmares, signs of violence, and expressing affection in unusual ways may also be danger signals.
- Be cautious is the care givers sound angry or cross, or if they seem overwhelmed with their responsibilities.
A good facility can be wrong for a particular child. Your observations and your sense of instinct about how your child fits in are your best guides. Trust your feelings!

In a ruling that has fired a shot across the bow of foreclosing plaintiff's across the State, New York's Appellate Division in the Second Department issued a ruling this week in a case of first impression that upheld a $300,000.00 sanction against Wells Fargo for bad faith in a foreclosure case.
In an exclusive interview on Sunday August 3rd – 2014 I had the opportunity to interview and discuss this decision with Nicholas Harris an attorney at Brian McCaffrey attorney at Law P.C.
The decision resulted from the appeal by Wells Fargo of an order issued by Judge Leon Ruchelsman on December 19, 2011 where the Judge found that Wells Fargo had acted in 'bad faith' by delaying foreclosure settlement conferences for more than 18 months, issuing numerous denials for a loan modification based on ever changing reasons. In his decision then Judge Ruchelsman tolled the interest on the loan back to 2009, costing Wells Fargo more than $300,000.00.
"Prior to this decision there was no clear description regarding "bad faith' as it pertained to CPLR 3408" said Harris. "Foreclosing plaintiff's should take notice that this decision could open the flood gates on bad faith motions against them when homeowners are dragged through countless settlement conferences."
In defining what 'bad faith' was the Court stated: "Were this Court to adopt the plaintiff's proposed standard for determining whether a party failed to act in good faith, we would undermine the remedial purpose of CPLR 3408.", and "The purpose of the statute is "to address the problem of mortgage foreclosures" by "help[ing] struggling homeowners without harming all consumers by inadvertently driving up the cost of credit or limiting the availability of legitimate credit" (Letter of Sen Farley, Bill Jacket, L 2008, ch 472, at 5), and [*9]"providing additional protections and foreclosure prevention opportunities for homeowners at risk of losing their homes" (Senate Introducer's Mem in Support, Bill Jacket, L 2008, ch 472, at 7). To reiterate, "[t]he purpose of the good faith requirement [in CPLR 3408] is to ensure that both plaintiff and defendant are prepared to participate in a meaningful effort at the settlement conference to reach resolution" (2009 Mem of Governor's Program Bill, Bill Jacket, L 2009, ch 507, at 11)."
Harris stated that his firm has made numerous bad faith motions and dealt with intransigent lenders on "far too many cases", and it is about time we had some definitive case law to guide the Courts and referees in settlement conferences.
Under the current system, court appointed referees oversee settlement conferences where the homeowners submits documents and the plaintiff – bank, reviews those documents to determine if a modification can be granted.
"Unfortunately, different referees take their responsibilities differently… some of the referees are ready to dump the case immediately simply upon the word of the plaintiff, while others seem to take their responsibility seriously and hold the plaintiff bank's feet to the fire.", said Harris.
After this decision, one thing is for sure, even in the face of court appointed referees who do not want to do their job – foreclosing plaintiff's would be well advised to improve the quality of the current crew of misfits evaluating loan modification applications lest they be put in a situation as in this case where Wells Fargo has been forced to set aside more than $300,000.00 in interest because of its bad faith.
The case is: US Bank N.A. v Sarmiento 2014 NY Slip Op 05533 Decided on July 30, 2014

Nutritional supplements are used to fulfill a deficit of minerals, vitamins and other vital nutrients in diet. In past nutritional supplements were not so popular. This is because in years passed there was not a need for everyone to take supplements. In past people used to eat healthy and pure food which consisted of a well-balanced diet including eggs, milks, vegetables and fruits and others. The diet contained everything that is needed for human body to function properly.
But today busy schedules have made people's minds pre-occupied and thus a lot of people just do not have enough time to eat properly to fulfill all body needs. Aside from this, vegetables are expensively farmed and kept on shelves for a long period of time, what reduces the nutrient intake that we eat. And this is a reason why nutritional supplements have to be taken.
Nutritional supplements are useful for people belonging to absolutely all age groups. For example, kids need a proper amount of phosphorus, calcium and iron in order to develop healthy teeth and bones. At the same time, elderly people need all types of vitamin and energy vitalizing substances in order to keep themselves fit.
As well, nutritional supplements help them fight against different illnesses and some of the supplements are considered to prevent cancer and heart attack. A lot of different nutritional supplements including folic acids are highly recommended to pregnant women in order to protect the baby from developing different abnormalities. High cholesterol and obesity could be also treated by taking nutritional supplements that are made from natural plants and animal extracts.
However, remember that nutritional supplements are not a replacement of everyday meals, even if different meal replacements are available on the market these days. Before taking any nutritional supplements it is necessary for you to consult with your health care specialist. Besides, do not fall for different advertisements about some nutritional supplements that claim do real wonders for your health.
Interested in nutritional supplements secrets and truth, here you are. Just visit this site where there are lots of details about liquid supplements as well as many other tips and hints on the subject.
And I would also mention that nowadays people have quite enormous possibilities to find various info on a great deal of products and services and to select exactly what they need at the best terms which are available on the market. And all this is due to development of online technologies. Funny, but most of the people don't use this chance. In real practice it means that you must use all the tools of today to get the information that you need.
Search Google or other search engines. Visit social networks and have a look on the accounts that are relevant to your topic. Go to the niche forums and join the discussion. All this will help you to create a true vision of this market and products on it. Thus, giving you a real chance to make a wise and nicely balanced decision.
P.S. And also we would advise you to sign up for the RSS on this blog as we will do the best to keep this blog tuned up to the day with new publications about natural mineral supplements and other related important issues on the subject.

I see a small smudge or film on my baby's left eye. Any idea what it is?
Hello! I am worried about my 4 week old daughter and probably will take her to the doctor tomorrow for peace of mind if nothing else...but she has a tiny cloud on her left eye. It looks like a smudge or a cloud potentially? I could provide a photo, but I do not see an option to post that here. I would gladly email it to someone if they could provide some insight. Thanks!

BERKELEY, Calif.- The Arizona baseball team defeated California 8-4 in the series opener with the Golden Bears at Evans Diamond on Friday afternoon. The victory improves Arizona's record to 23-14 overall and 4-6 in Pac-10 play. The loss drops Cal to 22-17 overall and 5-5 in the Pac-10
The Wildcats broke up a pitchers duel between the Arizona's Sean Rierson and Cal's Trevor Hutchinson with two runs in the top of the fifth. Senior Brad Hassey opened the scoring for Arizona with an RBI single that plated Justyn St. Clair for the first run of the game. The run-scoring knock extended Hassey's hitting streak to nine straight games in the process. After Brian Anderson grounded through the left side to advance Hassey to second, senior Chris Cunningham followed with a single to right to score the senior shortstop and give Arizona a 2-0 advantage.
The Wildcats added another run in the top of the sixth when St. Clair plated John Hardy with a two-out single up the middle for a 3-0 WIldcat lead. All total, Arizona scored six of its eight runs in the game with two outs in an inning.
The Golden Bears closed within one in the bottom of the seventh on back-to-back RBI doubles by John Baker and David Nicholson before Rierson got Brian Horowitz to line into an inning-ending double play to Moises Duran at second.
St. Clair tallied his second two-out RBI single of the game in the top of the eighth for a 4-2 Arizona lead, before the Golden Bears loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the inning. Senior reliever Wes Zlotoff induced David Weiner into a pop out at first for the initial out and then gave way to closer Brian Anderson.
The sophmore moved in from his centerfield position to take the mound for just the fourth time this season. Facing Cal's top hitter, Conor Jackson, the Anderson worked the first baseman to a full count before getting him to tap the ball fair down the firstbase line on hard, inside fastball. Anderson fielded the ball, tossed to Cunningham at home for the second out, who then fired to first for the inning-ending pitcher-to-catcher-to-first double play, ending the California threat with no runs scored.
Arizona padded its lead with four runs in the top of the ninth on a Marc Kaiser RBI single, a two-run base knock by Hardy and a single up the middle by Jeff Van Houten. The six run advantage appeared to be enough, but the resilient Bears scored twice in the bottom of the ninth and had runners on second and third with no outs before Anderson regained his form and struck out Justin Nelson and Nick Medrano before getting Ben Conley to ground out to Hassey to end the game.
Rierson (6-2), who retired 16 straight California hitters at one point, picked up his team-leading sixth win of the season in seven innings of work. The sophomore struck out three and walked none on just 66 pitches. Anderson's eighth and ninth innings efforts earned him his team-high tying third save. Hutchinson (7-3) was tagged with just his third loss of the season.
Offensively, Arizona rapped out 13 hits in the game, all of which were singles. St. Clair and Hardy eached paired hits and RBIs in the game, as the Wildcats also stole a season-high five bases on the afternoon.
The two schools will meet again on Saturday for the second game of the three-game series. Arizona's Marc Kaiser will take the mound for the Wildcats. First pitch is scheduled 1 p.m.

For Immediate Release - November 14, 2000
Anastasia Burton
(406) 444-5523
(Helena) --- Governor Marc Racicot released today an overview of his administration's final executive budget, proposing significant investments in public health and human services, higher education, teacher retention and recruitment and economic development programs. The governor will present his budget to the 2001 Legislature. However, Governor-elect Judy Martz may modify the budget after she is sworn into office January 2.
"We are proposing significant investments in needed areas," Governor Racicot said. "For example, Public Health and Human Services investments target expanded caseloads, provider rate increases and increasing the pool of children eligible for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), by increasing the upper limit to 175% of poverty. Additional investments in the Montana University System are intended to reduce the pressures to raise tuition. Teacher shortage and retention issues will receive an investment of $2 million. We also continue the substantial investments in economic development activities which were approved in the May 2000 Special Legislative Session."
Governor Racicot's budget includes a tax increase on cigarettes and tobacco that would raise an additional $24 million per year. Governor Racicot noted that Montana's tobacco tax is currently 12th lowest in the nation and has not been increased since 1989.
"Montana is spending millions of dollars on tobacco-related illnesses, prevention and education. It is fitting and proper to increase the tax on tobacco products as a further deterrent, in tandem with the methods we are already using to discourage, and hopefully reduce, tobacco use."
Increases in tobacco tax revenues are directed within the Governor's budget toward the Governor's long-range building program and to help pay for veterans' services and the general fund.
Governor Racicot's budget leaves a general fund balance of $42 million at the end of the 2003 biennium. Official revenue estimates will be adopted by the Revenue and Taxation Committee of the Montana Legislature. The estimates will be updated throughout the Legislative session, as more information becomes available.

Police continue to investigate a shooting Sunday in downtown Warren near a day-care center that left one man dead and another injured.
Marco Dukes, 32, died at a Cleveland hospital after the 10:30 a.m. shooting on Elm Court Northeast, a small side street between a duplex at 156 Elm Road NE and the Cuddle, Hugs and Kisses Day Care.
The day-care center was not open Sunday until noon, according to 21 WFMJ-TV, The Vindicator's broadcast news partner.
Another victim, Larry Smith, whose age was not available, was taken to Trumbull Memorial Hospital.
Neighbors said a passerby on her way to church picked up Smith and drove him there. The hospital had no information on Smith's condition Sunday night.
Police reported Sunday night they had two people in custody, but they had not been charged.
Sgt. Jeff Cole of the Warren Police Department said he did not know how many people were involved, and he said police do not yet know a motive for the shooting. Neighbors said that about eight people were involved after an argument at the Sunset Lounge about a block away on East Market Street.
"It escalated and came up here," said Debbie Keene, the owner of a business across the street.
Keene said she called to check on a resident at the duplex, who recently moved in.
"It had nothing to do with the people that live in the house," she said.
The Warren City Council unanimously objected to the Sunset Lounge's liquor license renewal in August. Councilman Greg Bartholomew said then that police received 22 calls since the bar opened in March for fights, vehicle theft, a traffic accident, suspicious vehicles and people, distrubances and alarms.
A relative of Dukes', who did not want to be named, said Dukes "had just gotten his life together."
She said his family just observed the 10-year anniversary of his brother's death, and his son just had his 13th birthday a few days ago.
Dukes lived on the east side of Warren, she said.
Dukes has an extensive criminal record in Warren Municipal Court dating to 1999.
The record includes traffic, drug and weapons charges and an aggravated robbery charge.
In 2004, he was charged with two counts of felonious assault.
He was accused of shooting two people at a home on Woodbine Avenue Southeast on June 18, 2004.
Warren City Councilman Eddie Colbert, D-7th Ward, said he believes the shooting illustrates the need for the city police force to replace retiring officers and for it to beef up its narcotics unit, according to 21 WFMJ-TV.
Also, a Good Samaritan on her way to observe Veterans Day at a church was the one who spotted the second victim bleeding near the street. She drove him to TMH for treatment, and said she has a blood-stained seat as a result, WFMJ also reported.
Why include the deceased man's criminal record? Let him RIP.
Because this article is about a murder. You can't sugar coat it. It's cold hard facts. There is nothing wrong with including his criminal record, because I'm sure it had to do with the shooting. This was not just a random shooting.
Nothing wrong with showing COLD HARD FACTS that shouldn't be swept under the rug.
Save the tributes and condolences for the Obituary and funeral articles.
Right in downtown Warren. Really good for business. Just the kind of place I want to take my family. Get a grip mayor and make a BIG deal of this and stamp the violence out in your community.
Warren City Council does not let anyone speak at their meetings that is not from Warren. So, listen here. Either clean up the random violence in your town or simply board it up. Just a thought from an outsider who USED to take his family to events in Warren.
Adverse publicity is not welcome as the cities affected by economic downnturns are recovering. Warren should be given credit for the gains that they are making and not having their issues portrayed in a bad light. Implying that the deceased was in some way responsible for his demise is bad journalism. Our justice system makes use of rehabilitation and Marco had paid his debt to society before his death. His killer now owes a debt to society and that is where the blame should be focused.
The printing of someone's criminal record is not placing blame on the individual. It is merely the statement of a fact. To say it is bad journalism, coming from people with no journalistic experience, is misguided to say the least. The victim is no longer with us and when you leave here all the public, and those in the news business, have to go on is the record you leave behind... good or bad.
Fact Are Fact's Marco was In and Out of Jail & Prison Thats A Fact. My son knew him & his Family. Thank god my son is Out Of State, I personally told Him, He is going to be Killed Hanging with Them. Drugs is a Huge problem In warren and Surrounding area's rather you Use Or sell It. Its dangerous and Stupid and Very Poor Judgement. Criminal activity is way at the top here . You better have protection if its large dogs or fire power.No one is safe. Even In the Best Neighborhood No One Is safe they dont care who you are or where you live., They Dont Care If Your Young or Old.,. If You Live by the Sword , you Die by the Sword. Thats a Fact.......
His fate was sealed the day he was born in Warren with the last name Dukes, lol.
In my decades of journalism, I've never seen the family of a dead man who was renown for his unselfish good deeds and positive contributions to the community, complain that we ran his record in the newspaper after his death.
Mark Sweetwood
Managing Editor
Complain to WKBN also for running his record. It's FACTS! And PUBLIC FACTS at that.
Dukes' history includes long stints in prison and about 30 local arrests.
Court records said Dukes has been arrested about 30 times for different crimes. He was last arrested by police for possessing marijuana and pleaded guilty to the charge Oct. 15. Dukes also filed a police report Sept. 24 because someone flattened the tires on two vehicles.
He was sent to prison for one year in February 2011 for possessing a weapon as a felon and carrying a concealed weapon.
In 2004, Dukes was involved in another shootout. Records said he shot two people, Marlayne Wesley, 18, and Michael Wilson, 23, on Woodbine Avenue S.E., then was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center to be treated for his own gunshot injuries.
He was later sentenced to six years in prison for the shooting.
Dukes was charged three other times with felonious assault. In 2003 he was cleared by a Trumbull County grand jury and in 2002 he was sentenced to 10 months in jail on the charge. He also pleaded guilty to discharging firearms in 2001, a charge amended from felonious assault.
Dukes was also sentenced to six months jail in 2000 after being convicted of cocaine trafficking. He also has convictions for having weapons under disability, criminal trespassing, carrying concealed weapons, domestic violence and resisting arrest, all since 1999.

Don't Believe Report: Harold Ford Knows Where He Lives
One block, 30 blocks. Whatever.
At a paid speaking appearance at Northwest Missouri State University yesterday, Harold Ford Jr. told an audience of students that he lives "about a block from the courthouse" where the 9/11 trials are/were slated to take place. Which is not true. Granted, Ford didn't say he lived exactly one block away from the courthouse. He said "about," and depending on how you interpret the word "about," it could be an accurate statement. In this instance, "about a block" means more like 30 blocks. [Daily Kos via Ben Smith/Politico]
Update: A Ford aide tells us that Ford actually said he teaches near the courthouse. Ford recently began teaching at NYU's Wagner School of Public Service.
Update 2: The source of the original story, an article on stjoenews.com, now reads, "Mr. Ford, who said he lives a mile and a half from the courthouse, said the trial should take place in a military tribunal, away from New York City." The story's author informs us they'll be running a correction.

A twenty-one guns saluted as helicopters flew overhead and the families of law enforcement officers killed in the line duty mourned.
"We may never personally know the depth of your loss," said Governor Rick Scott
Governor Rick Scott and Attorney General Pam Bondi honored the 13 officers killed in 2011, and the survivors they left behind.
"We appreciate everything that you have been through and we can't imagine what you have been through, but we continue to constantly pray for you and your families," said Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Survivors placed roses in a Florida wreath, marking where their loved ones passed. Central Florida sacrificed most.
In early 2011, three St. Petersburg officers were killed. Two were killed while serving an arrest warrant in late January.
"Sadly we have been to too many funerals."
St. Pete's Mayor Bill Foster told the crowd the loss is still fresh in his mind.
"January 24th, 2011. That's what I call my personal 911."
The pain expressed by the elected officials is magnified in the faces of the survivors.
Florida's crime rate is at a 41 year low, but in reaching that statistic 13 law enforcement officers lost their lives. That's four more than died in 2010.
The end of the ceremony was marked by bagpipes playing Amazing Grace and a promise by state leaders to never to forget the officers.
Monday marked the 30th annual Florida Law Enforcement Memorial. Since the state began keeping records, 713 officers have died in the line of duty.

September 2008
Everyone To Blame
Before getting into the specifics of last night's horrible loss, I just wanted to point out what ended up being the epitome of a Twins' inning as of late:
In the top of the fifth inning, with the Twins trailing 2-0, September call-up Matt Tolbert tripled to deep center field (pictured above). So, in what looked to be a sure one run, both Carlos Gomez and Denard Span struck out, while Alexi Casilla grounded to second. Inning, rally, and perhaps game, over.
Yet, there actually turned out to be quite a few fireworks in this game, just not a whole lot for Twins fans. Joe Mauer's bases-loaded double briefly put the Twins ahead 3-2 in the seventh inning, but the Jays tied it up again when Nick Punto couldn't handle a routine grounder.
The Twins then got a huge clutch hit from Brendan Harris to go up 4-3 heading into the ninth, but Joe Nathan once again melted (could not find the plate) and Toronto tied it up.
In extras, the Twins kept going down 1-2-3, while the Jays rallied every inning. In the tenth, Nathan escaped a bases-loaded one out jam. In the eleventh, Eddie Guardado was called from the pen and promptly gave up two hits, to be quickly removed in favor of Boof Bonser. Toronto's McDonald quickly blasted a double off Boof and won the game.
-Two weeks ago, I said that if the Twins could hang with the White Sox through this long road trip, we would have the advantage down the stretch. However, if our starting pitchers keep turning in short starts and the bullpen keeps blowing leads, this pennant race will crumble as fast as it did in 2001.
-You know your bullpen is in trouble when Bonser must be summoned in extra innings in a crucial situation. Yikes.
Preview (77-62, 2nd, 1.0 GB CWS): Kevin Slowey (11-8, 3.70) vs. Jesse Litsch (9-8, 4.01).
Lefty Letdown (Including Our Own)
Despite jumping out to an early 5-1 thanks to RBI hits from Morneau, Mauer, Young, and Span, the Twins could not hold the lead as the Toronto Blue Jays stormed back with three runs in the fifth inning and two in the sixth to take a lead they would hold for good.
Offensively, the Twins' bats were completely shut down from the fifth inning on by Toronto's nearly all-lefty bullpen. Of course, a 5-1 lead should hold up, but Perkins (5 IP, 4 ER) struggled to get through his five innings of work and Boof Bonser (1 IP, 2 ER) took the loss by allowing a deep home run to Lyle Overbay.
-On any given night, the Twins can be absolutely stymied by left-handed pitching. I don't know why…it just happens. Also, it seems as if more and more lefties are pitching in baseball today, as almost every series for every team will feature at least one southpaw. Are they really that difficult to hit?!
-For the past decade, the Twins have made the postseason by winning the close games. This has not been happening the last few weeks, and the team is really morose because of it, as nothing hurts more (not even a blowout, which one can put behind himself easier) than a loss that should have been a win. Luckily the ChiSox lost as well, but that can't be counted on for the rest of September.
-Finally, the TV announcers had been making a big deal the last week over how well Boof Bonser has pitched out of the pen. I think the real Boof came back tonight.
Preview (77-61, T-1st w/CWS): Nick Blackburn (9-8, 3.75) vs. A.J. Burnett (16-10, 4.48). With staff ace Burnett on the mound, the Twins will likely have to prove themselves in another low-scoring contest.

The UCLA Baseball team was defeated by Oregon at Jackie Robinson Stadium on Sunday afternoon by a score of, 5-4, in 11 innings, giving the Ducks a sweep of the Bruins.
Garrett Cleavinger (3-1) picked up the win for Oregon, pitching 1.1 innings of scoreless relief. Junior David Berg (3-2) took the loss for UCLA, allowing one run in four innings of relief.
Both starters earned no-decisions in the ballgame. Sophomore Cody Poteet started the game for the Bruins, tossing six innings and allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits while striking out five. He walked one as well. Brando Tessar started the game for the Ducks, surrendering four runs on five hits and three walks in 2.1 innings pitched. Tessar struck out three.
The Bruins jumped out ahead in the bottom of the first with a run off of Tessar. With two outs and sophomore Ty Moore on first, junior Shane Zeile hit a triple down the right field line to bring around Moore and make it 1-0, UCLA. Moore was able to beat the throw home with a great slide at the plate on the play.
Oregon tied things up in the top of third starting when Desmond Santos led off the inning with a hit by pitch. Two sacrifice bunts later, he moved to third and came in to score when Tyler Baumgartner hit an infield single to second to even the game at 1-1. The game would not stay tied for long though as the Bruins scored three in the bottom half of the inning to take back the lead. With freshman Brett Stephens on second and sophomore Trent Chatterton on first with one out, Zeile stepped in and ripped a double to right-center, scoring Stephens to make it 2-1, UCLA. The next batter was sophomore Justin Hazard, who smacked a single through the right side to bring home Chatterton and Zeile to give the Bruins a three-run lead.
After a scoreless fourth, Oregon got a run back in the top of the fifth. Nick Catalano led off the inning with a double and eventually came home to score on a sacrifice fly by Mark Karaviotis, cutting UCLA's lead down to 4-2. The Ducks then scored two runs in the top of the seventh to tie the game up at 4-4. Steven Packard led off the frame with a double to left-center and then moved to third when Catalano reached on an error by senior Aaron Weimer. The Bruins went to the bullpen after that, bringing in freshman Nick Kern. With pinch-hitter A.J. Balta at bat, Kern threw a wild pitch that allowed Packard to score to bring UCLA's lead down to one. On the play, Catalano was able to move to third as Zeile's throw home to the plate skipped away from Kern. The next batter was Karaviotis, who executed a safety squeeze to score Catalano and tie the game at 4-4.
Berg came into the game in the eighth inning, holding the Ducks scoreless for the next two frames. Stephen Nogosek did the same for Oregon and the game went to extra innings. In the bottom of the 10th, UCLA had an opportunity to end the game when it put runners on first and second with one out via a single by Chatterton and a walk by Moore. Zeile flew out on the next at-bat and Oregon brought in Cleavinger from the bullpen to face pinch-hitter Darrell Miller Jr. On a 1-2 count, Miller smacked a ball back up the middle that deflected off of Karaviotis' glove at short. Oregon second baseman Aaron Payne was able to gather it for the Ducks and threw out pinch-runner Brett Urabe at the plate to keep the game tied.
Oregon then found the go-ahead run in the top of the 11th. Mitchell Tolman led off the inning with an infield single before moving to third on a sacrifice bunt and a groundout respectively. Catalano then stepped in and singled back up the middle off of Berg to give the Ducks the lead. UCLA was unable to score in the ninth and Oregon earned the sweep with a 5-4 victory.
Chatterton, Zeile and Persico all went 2-5 with Zeile logging two RBI and a run and Chatterton adding a run scored. Hazard recorded two RBI in the ballgame as well.
The Bruins (23-29-1, 10-17 Pac-12) will close out their regular season next weekend with a road trip to Seattle, Wash., where they will face fifth-ranked Washington (38-12-1, 20-6 Pac-12) in a three-game series from Friday, May 23 to Sunday, May 25. Game times are 7 p.m., 7 p.m. and 3 p.m. respectively and Saturday and Sunday's games will be televised live by the Pac-12 Networks.
Game Notes: This was UCLA's sixth extra-inning game of the season and the fourth extra-inning game in which Cody Poteet has started for the Bruins…the Bruins dropped to 3-2-1 in extra-inning games this season with the loss…Shane Zeile posted his second straight multi-hit game and his team-leading 21st of the season…Cody Poteet earned a no-decision for the seventh time in 14 starts this year…Ty Moore and Aaron Weimer extended their reached base safely streaks to 13 and 10 games respectively…UCLA lost for just the sixth time all season when out-hitting the opponent…David Berg's four innings pitched matched a career-high, the sixth time he's done that in his career...before the game, the Bruins honored their six seniors (student managers Will Hughes and Kate Powers, infielders Pat Gallagher, Kevin Williams and Aaron Weimer and outfielder Brian Carroll) with a pregame ceremony recognizing their contributions to the program.

11. Dinner Time - Organize the kitchen cabinets in the same manner. Dishes, glasses and bowls neat and tidy. Let buyers see how big your cabinets really are.
12. Paint - Hand-painted silk wallpaper? Dramatic red painted wall. Loose 'em! That is your taste and not the potential home buyers. Paint your home a neutral color palate so buyers can easily see their own furniture and art work in the home. Plus, it is one less thing they will have to do after they move in. Moving is hard enough so buyers appreciate your extra effort.
13. Wash the Windows - Let in some light. Show off your hardwood floors, your cherry cabinets, your granite counters. Buyers love a light filled home. A sunny home looks bigger and shows better.
14. Turn on the Lights - Update old light fixtures with new ones. This is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to update your home. Most handymen can install them and they are cheaper then a electrician.
15. The Loo - Bathrooms should be clean and smell good. Remove plastic soap dispensers, tooth brushes/holders, hairdryers, shavers, make up, etc. from the counters. I mean all of it. Keep the counters cleaned off save for a hand towel, tissues and a candle. Hide the rest under the sink. Buy a new shower curtain and liner. Empty out the trash.
16. Your Sanctuary - Keep the bed made and dirty clothes in a hamper. Unless you are a child, no stuffed animals on the bed.

I often see the sentence "let $X_1, X_2, \ldots$ be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with a certain distribution". But given a random variable $X$ on a probability space $\Omega$, how do I know that there is a sequence of INDEPENDENT random variables of the same distribution on $\Omega$?

The easiest way to show the existence in our case is to construct such a probability space. The intuition is that it is easy to define the joint probability measure on some "simple" sets using the iid property and then one leverages the celebrated Caratheodory extension theorem.
More precisely, let $(E,\mathcal E)$ be the measurable space where our random variables are supposed to take values and let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $(E,\mathcal E)$ representing the distribution of such random variables. Define $\Omega = E^{\mathbb N_0}$ to be the space of countable trajctories over $E$ and let $\mathcal F$ be its product $\sigma$-algebra. Define the probability measure $\mathsf P$ on $(\Omega,\mathcal F)$ just based on the independence, i.e. for any $A_0,\dots,A_N\in \mathcal E$ we put $$ \mathsf P(X_0\in A_0,\dots,X_n\in A_n):=\mu(A_0)\times \dots\times \mu(A_n). $$ So far the measure $\mathsf P$ is only defined on the collection $\mathcal A$ of measurable rectangles, i.e. subset of $\Omega$ of the form $A_0\times\dots\times A_n\times \Omega\times\Omega\times\dots$ where $A_i\in \mathcal E$. Finite unions of elements of $\mathcal A$ form the algebra, say $\mathcal B$. Clearly, $\mathsf P$ is a finite pre-measure on $\mathcal B$ and hence by the Caratheodory extension theorem we obtain the unique measure $\mathsf P$ on $\mathcal F = \sigma(\mathcal B)$.
As Ahriman has pointed out, if you are given a random variable $X:\Omega\to E$ it may not be possible to construct the whole sequence on $\Omega$ as the latter may be quite a poor space, so you would have to go for a richer space. For example, $E$ always can be considered as a sample space for the distribution over it, by taking $\mathrm id_E$ being a random variable. But in case $E = \{a,b\}$ and you have $\mu(a) = 0.4$ and $\mu(b) = 0.6$ it is only possible to construct one and only one random variable defined on $E$ which has $\mu$ as a distribution.
Since they're i.i.d., you can just use a product measure on a product space $\Omega\times\Omega\times\Omega\times\cdots$.
And for many purposes, you can take $\Omega=\mathbb R$ and let the measurable subsets of $\Omega$ be the Borel sets.

Creative Advantage arts education update
As the new arts education specialist for the Office of Arts and Culture, I'm excited to add capacity to the implementation of our citywide K-12 arts education initiative – the Creative Advantage! This is truly exciting work that seeks to build equity and access to comprehensive, high quality arts education for ALL young people in Seattle Public Schools. Many organizations, teaching artists, youth and cultural workers, arts administrators, teachers and principals have contributed at length to the development of this plan and the Seattle Arts and Music Commissions have engaged in long-term advocacy efforts in support of this work.
Starting this fall, the Creative Advantage launched in 14 schools in the Central Arts Pathway – schools that feed into and out of Washington Middle School. By 2020, all students will have access to sustained arts learning opportunities, from two hours of music and visual arts each week for elementary learners to integrated and culturally relevant experiences, and career development opportunities for middle and high schoolers.
This is our plan, Seattle – our commitment to meeting the state of Washington's mandate for basic education, which includes the arts, and to addressing structural barriers that have disproportionately impacted groups of students by race and ethnicity. And it's our opportunity to show what's possible when we prioritize educational excellence, equitable access and community engagement for all young people, as evidenced by Seattle Public School's newly adopted 5-year strategic plan.
During the last two months, we've gained significant ground. Check us out!
- The Creative Advantage was launched at the 11th Mayor's Arts Awards on August 30, 2013. A signature video for the initiative, filmed and produced by talented Reel Grrls, premiered during the ceremony, and is available to view on the brand new Creative Advantage web site at www.CreativeAdvantageSeattle.org!
- As a strong testament to arts education, Superintendent José Banda kicked off the school year by engaging in art-making alongside students in John Muir Elementary and Rainier Beach High School. He also spoke to the importance of arts and access in schools: "Arts learning is one example of the commitment we have made to ensuring equity of access for all of our students."
- Two community partner meetings were held in late August and early September to introduce the Creative Advantage to organizations and artists working with young people in Seattle. These events served as an opportunity for input into key elements of the plan, such as professional development, and the community partnership roster, from which schools will choose programs to implement their respective arts plans.
We have a strong web of support in this multi-stakeholder partnership that includes the city, the school district, Seattle Foundation and community partners, working collaboratively to ensure success for our city and its young people.
As the Creative Advantage unfolds, we seek to develop processes that are equitable, accessible, and reflect a strong race and social justice framework. In order to accomplish this, we will create space for sharing, dialog, input and feedback on the work as it develops. To that end, I'm excited to meet with the many groups in our community leading rich and powerful experiences for young people. Please sign up for our arts education enews to stay up to date with this project.
To a city where arts and culture thrive for all!

Click here for part one on the pitching staff.
The Albuquerque Isotopes are in many ways best described as the Los Angeles Dodgers' reserve team. In that respect, having a roster full of players who can play multiple positions is a must and this year's Isotopes were versatility in mind.
With perhaps only three exceptions, every player on the team is more than capable of playing at least two or more positions on the field.
The main exceptions to the ultra-versatile theme are the men behind the plate for Albuquerque. Familiar face Tim Federowicz will be joined by veteran Miguel Olivo (.203/.250/.392 with the Marlins) and youngster Griff Erickson (.199/.324/.414 at Chattanooga), though the latter will open on the disabled list.
Federowicz hit a blistering .418/.500/.848 in 21 games with the Isotopes last season to finally force his way back to Los Angeles, where he spent the rest of the season. Still, because he had an option remaining and fellow backup Drew Butera did not, Federowicz finds himself back at Triple-A.
"Basically I have to prove that I don't belong here again," Federowicz said. "And we'll see what happens.
"I'm excited to be able to play. Up there, these first couple of weeks they have so many off-days I wouldn't have played anyways, so I actually get some in-game action. When they need me I feel like they'll call me up."
Other than first baseman Clint Robinson (.254/.353/.421, 13 HR, 55 RBI at Buffalo and New Hampshire), the rest of the Isotopes infield figures to be a constant mix of players shifting between positions, all at the discretion of manager Damon Berryhill.
"The flexibility that I have to go infield to the outfield and outfield to the infield, it just makes DB's job a lot easier when it comes to double switches," said Jamie Romak (.242/.322/.461, 22 HR, 74 RBI at Memphis), who can play first, third and the outfield corners. "It certainly helps him and it helps our own careers in the sense that if you're being productive, you're not pigeon-holed into one position."
Miguel Rojas (.233/.303/.307, 5 HR at Chattanooga), who can play second, shortstop and third, agreed.
"Yeah, for me it's pretty important to have guys like that in the National League for the double switches," Rojas said. "If you have guys that can play everywhere, you can give them a day off where it's fine for everybody."
The other infielders are Brendan Harris (.206/.252/.355 with the Angels), David Adams (.224/.312/.353 at Norfolk in 2012) and Walter Ibarra (.276/.308/.367 at Scranton and Trenton).
Dodgers No. 1 prospect Joc Pederson is one happy guy. Not only has he arrived at Triple-A, but he gets to play in the outfield with three players who all have past experience in Albuquerque.
"It's freaking awesome," Pederson said. "They have so much experience, defense and offense, how to play that hill back there, how to go about the travel a bit better, where are good places to eat … just overall help you out."
The Dodgers will be happy that the talented Pederson (.278/.381/.497, 22 HR, 31 stolen bases) is ready after a big year at Chattanooga. While Pederson said he is humbled that people think so highly of him, he is far from a finished product.
"Work on my defense and I think baserunning could be a little bit better," Pederson said. "Overall hitting, lefties, righties, there's always improvements. You can never be good enough, never be satisfied. We have good coaches and coordinators that come in and let you know what you need to work on more of and what less of. I listen to them a lot and trust what (advice) they give me."
The returning faces all played in Albuquerque in different seasons. Nick Buss (.303/.363/.525, 17 HR, 100 RBI, 21 stolen bases) is back from last season, when he was the Isotopes' MVP. Albuquerque native Brian Cavazos-Galvez (.263/.303/.366, 7 HR at Chattanooga) was last here in 2012. Trayvon Robinson (.247/.329/.394, 11 HR at Norfolk and Bowie) re-signed with the Dodgers after he was traded away late in 2011.
"It's a great group of outfielders," Buss said. "It's nice, because three of us have experience here, so we've got a good idea about playing defense here and just what to expect out there. The four of us get along really well, too, which is great."
The Isotopes will face Tacoma in their home opener April 11 at 7:05 p.m.

Cover, Rocket Motor Nozzle
This is a quad, or cluster, of four Apollo Reaction Control System (RCS) engines. The RCS was a vital rocket engine system for maintaining the attitude of the Apollo Service Module (SM), helped it to maneuver in space, plus undertake minor midcourse velocity corrections, abort separations and emergency attitude maneuvers. Each thruster produced 100 pounds of thrust. The propellants were monomethyl hydrazine (MMH) and nitrogen tetroxide. The quad shown here was not flown but was from Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, possibly as a backup RCS. It was transferred to the Smithsonian in 1980 from the NASA Johnson Space Flight Center.

LOS ANGELES — Californians woke up to a shock Friday as overnight gasoline prices jumped by as much as 20 cents a gallon in some areas, ending a week of soaring costs that saw some stations close and others charge record prices.
The average price of regular gas across the state was nearly $4.49 a gallon, the highest in the nation, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge report.
In Southern California, the price jumped 20 cents a gallon overnight to $4.53 in Ventura. And in the Los Angeles-Long Beach area prices went up 19 cents to nearly $4.54. It wasn't any better to the north, as a gallon of regular gas in San Francisco averaged nearly $4.60.
In many areas, prices have jumped 40 cents in a week as refinery problems have created shortages and helped send wholesale prices soaring. Some stations ran out of gas and shut down Thursday rather than pay those costs.
Even Costco Wholesale Corp., the giant discount store chain that sells large volumes of gas, decided to close some stations
"We do not know when we will be resupplied," read a sign at one Southern California Costco, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Other gas stations charged more than $5 a gallon.
The Low-P station in Calabasas charged $5.69 Thursday. The pumps bore hand-written signs reading, "We are sorry, it is not our fault," the Times said.
While gas prices have spiked around the nation, refinery outages and pipeline problems have added to woes in California.
Among the recent disruptions, an Aug. 6 fire at a Chevron Corp. refinery in Richmond left one of the region's largest refineries producing at a reduced capacity, and a Chevron pipeline that moves crude to Northern California also was shut down.
There also was a power failure that affected an Exxon Mobil Corp. refinery in Torrance, but a company spokeswoman said Friday that the refinery has resumed normal operations and would be able to meet all of its contractual commitments.
The national average for gas is about $3.79 a gallon, the highest ever for this time of year. However, gas prices in many states have started decreasing, which is typical for October.
Hawaii usually has the nation's most expensive gas, but California leapfrogged the Aloha State on Friday. The average price in Hawaii was about 8 cents a gallon less than in California.
In California, gasoline inventories are the lowest in more than 10 years — a situation made worse by the state's strict pollution limits that require a special blend of cleaner-burning gasoline during hot summer months.

Modern St. Patrick's Day Dessert Table (9 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
I wanted to do something a little different from what I've been seeing when it comes to St. Patrick's Day parties. Instead of the typical rainbow or all-green backdrop, I opted to give this dessert table a modern flair by going with zebra print! I then added my green elements (desserts) and kept with the theme by adding a touch of rainbow.
Some of the highlights:
- A hand-made a ribbon garland and added a few shamrocks to make it a little more festive!
- I made several mini cupcakes and colored them to match the colors of the rainbow and placed them inside of these cute little push pop containers I got from CupKate's Event Design. I covered the bottom of the holder with gold coins to represent the "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow".
- Chocolate cake pops covered with sprinkles. I added cute little printable flags by Anders Ruff Custom Designs.
- I prettied up Oreo Cakesters by rolling them in green edible sugar pearls!
- Green rosette-covered ombre cake
Although I've set up dessert tables before, this was the first time I made all of the desserts (with the exception of one). I was pretty pleased with how things came together.

Why is nature study so popular in Great Britain?
I have always been impressed by the number of natural history books, especially on invertebrates, that have been published in Great Britain and jealous of the numbers of natural history clubs they have. Sometimes, I have even wished that I had been living in GB just so that I could have been involved in some of that activity, while avoiding the shipping charges that I pay to have books sent here. And at the same time, I have always wondered why most other countries seem to have lagged behind the British in those respects. Not only in countries like Turkey, where serious study of nature by laypeople is unheard of and by professionals is elitist and superficial, but even in the U.S. the state of affairs is way behind GB.
A recent podcast from the BBC Natural History Unit tries to answer the very same question. The narrator Francesco da Mosto interviews several natural history personalities in GB. Among the various ideas they propose to explain "the British passion for the natural world" are the Industrial Revolution's origin being there (by David Attenborough), the founding of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in 1824, the laws enacted for the protection of wild life in the 19th century and the encouragement given to the working classes to participate in nature study (all by Robert Lambert) and the higher likelihood of people encountering wildlife in a "small" island like Great Britain (by Les Stocker). At the end of the program, however, no clear consensus emerges, which is not surprising to me, because I don't think there could have been just one responsible factor. There were probably many interconnected developments that kindled and directed the British society's ongoing love affair with nature.
Also interviewed is the malacologist Robert Cameron, one of the authors of the standard citation "Kerney & Cameron, 1979", which is, of course, their classic A Field Guide to the Land Snails of Britain and North-West Europe. Dr. Cameron talks about the early days of the Conchological Society, the origin of his interest in snails, how he discovered the snail Leiostyla anglica in the Channel Islands during a vacation, the edible snails (Helix pomatia and Cornu aspersum) the Romans introduced to England ("the fast food of the 4th century A.D.") and how the range of Cepaea nemoralis seems to have increased recently (could it be due to global warming?). His explanation for the popularity of natural history is that in GB in the 19th century there was a large middle class with leisure time. Dr. Cameron's comments are scattered thoroghout the podcast, so you have to listen to the entire program not to miss them. This is not to mean that the rest of the podcast is to be skipped; it is entertaining and educational in its entirety.
Incidentally, my 2 favorite bookstores from across the Atlantic are the Pemberley Natural History Books and the NHBS Environment Bookstore.

Team, Inc.
"I am an environmental consultant that has been using Enviro-Equipment for six years. They have consistently provided quality equipment and service. Last month, I was sampling from a 100 foot monitoring well with a stainless steel submersible pump. I was in-between rolls of tubing and thought I had 100 feet left. I lowered the pump down into the well and realized I misjudged the amount of tubing I had left on my roll. I was probably 15 feet short of what I needed. So I turned to my truck to get another roll of tubing and when I turned around the pump and tubing had dropped to the bottom of the well. Unable to get the pump out by pulling on the electrical cable and afraid of causing damage to an expensive pump, I called Rand Ratterree at Enviro-Equipment for advice. After discussing some options, he decided to come out and give me a hand retrieving the pump. Long story short, we tried several things - two hours and a fishing line and hook won out. Thankfully, Rand was able to donate his time. This is the type of service that sets Enviro-Equipment above the others, and it is the reason I have been using them for the past six years."
Troy L. Holzschuh
"We can count on Enviro-Equipment to provide fast and courteous service whenever we need it. They are attentive to project-specific needs, and they make sure we not only have what we need, but that we know how to use it."

"Thank you for your great and quick service. I like the way you do business."
Lou Scalpati
Pinnacle Parts and Service
"I rented a Redi-Flo2 sampling pump from Enviro Equipment and had it out at a job site several hours away. I had a generator, but it was over current which prevented me from using my Redi-Flo2 Pump. However, instead of losing my entire day due to my generator, I was able to call Rand at Enviro-Equipment, Inc. and he was able to troubleshoot my generator over the phone even though the generator was mine. I'm writing to thank you as this saved me from losing an entire work day."
Kenny Cable
EnviroTech, Inc.
"Enviro-Equipment provides knowledgeable service on all of their equipment, along with providing excellent customer service."
Sheldon L. Sisk
Environmental Scientist
URS Corporation
"I love when I call to place an order that your scientists always suggest items that I may need to go with my rental equipment order. This prevents me from being out in the field and realizing that I forgot something. I really appreciate that extra customer service."
Carole Matthews
Hart & Hickman
"I am writing to you to express my satisfaction with the service you have given to S&ME, Inc. As you may know, S&ME uses Enviro-Equipment, Inc. for mos tof its instrument rental needs. I, myself, use your services a great deal and wanted to tell you that I have had nothing but excellent service from your company.
I also wanted to specifically mention Rand Ratterree. He is always there with instrument rental advice, quick turn-around times, special request, etc. He is an asset to your organization."

Brian and Denise (EEI Owners),
"In dealing with your son, Evan (Remediation Dept. Manager), I am most impressed with his understanding of the client's needs and his ability to 'juggle'. You have raised a sharp young man and can safely consider retirement or extended vacations as he will be the Captain before you know it!"

College Hockey:Fridgen Records 200, RPI Shuts Out Army
Freshman Lange Earns First Shutout
TROY, N.Y. — Dan Fridgen received balloons, flowers and a kiss from his wife Kari. Mathias Lange got to keep the puck.
Fridgen earned his 200th win as coach of Rensselaer, and the freshman goalie Lange recorded his first career shutout Sunday as the Engineers cruised to a 4-0 non-league victory over Army in their Houston Field House opener.
It is the third straight win for RPI (3-2).
Fridgen, who is in his 12th season as RPI's coach, has a 200-178-32 record. He is the school's all-time leader in wins. What does it mean to him?
"Take a look at the gray hair, that's how it feels," Fridgen laughingly said.
But in all seriousness, Fridgen said winning 200 games has more to do with the people who have come through the program than just him.
"I feel very, very fortunate to have had a lot of good players, a lot of good teams and some excellent assistant coaches as well," said Fridgen, who won the 1995 ECACHL tournament title in his first season as coach. "It's just not one person. It's a team victory, No. 200."
Lange, making his third straight start, stopped 14 shots for the shutout. He understands how special the puck will be.
"I was going to give it back to him, but he says he has another one," said Lange, who lowered his goals-against average to 2.51. "It's always nice to have somebody get to a milestone. It was one for him, and one for me as well."
Fridgen didn't mind giving Lange the puck.
"As I told him, as a coach, you look back and it was good," Fridgen said. "But you certainly remember your playing days, and that means a lot. I'm sure he's going to look back on it and realize it was a dual meaning as far as that puck is concerned."
RPI opened the scoring with its third shorthanded goal of the season, equaling last year's output, midway through the first period. Kevin Broad stole an Army pass and gave it to Matt Angers-Goulet. Angers-Goulet took a couple of strides in the high slot, then fired a wrist shot past goalie Brad Roberts.
The Engineers' power play, which came into the game with just two goals in 15 attempts, got going in the second.
Just under a minute into the period, Oren Eizenman put in the rebound a Brad Farynuk blast past Roberts. At 7:48, Broad tipped in a Keith McWilliams' right-point shot with a second left on Seth Beamer's obstruction-hooking call. With 1:56 left in the period, Seth Klerer scored the third power-play goal.
RPI finished 3-for-9 on the power play.
"[Army] played it real well," said Kevin Croxton, who assisted on Eizenman's goal. "They packed it in well, and were blocking shots. It was tough to get anything going the first couple [of attempts]. We made some adjustments, and got some pucks to the net."
The Engineers continue their homestand Friday against Northeastern, and Saturday against Merrimack. … Army (0-4) opens Atlantic Hockey play Friday at Holy Cross. … RPI goalie Jordan Alford and forward Tommy Green had their heads shaved after the game as part of RPI's season-long charity drive to help raise funds for cancer research and hair donation to make wigs for cancer patients.
