Womenswear that borrows certain elements from menswear is nothing new and not hard to come by, but it's less common that you can get shoes that actually look like they would have come from the men's section. So while we love the lace inserts and cutouts that pepper any women's oxfords section, we love these straightforward G.H. Bass and Co. Elly Oxfords ($79) for basically looking like they were simply sent through a magical shrinking machine.

Two fleets of specially-badged BMW's, decorated with pink ribbons will rev their engines for the start of the million-mile cross country drive that will raise over one-million dollars.
For every mile you drive, BMW will donate one dollar on your behalf to the Komen foundation.
Money raised goes to breast cancer research, education, screening and community outreach programs provided by the Komen foundation.
The event will be held at BMW of Bowling Green on Three Springs Road from 9:00 Monday morning until 5:00 in the afternoon.
Every year BMW of Bowling Green chooses a local hero for the drive.
This year the hero is Judy Yanko. Mrs. Yanko passed away last year from breast cancer, but her family will be at the event tomorrow in her honor.

Consequences of reduction of number of individual ...
|Consequences of reduction of number of individual feeders on feeding behaviour and stress level of feedlot steers
|M. J. Corkum, Lius A. Bate, T. Tennessen, A. Lirette
|Applied Animal Behaviour Science
|Start page
|End page
|Hereford steers, average weight 230+or-23 kg, in a 28-day trial period, had access to an individual electronically controlled Calan Broadbent feeder or to 3 or 4 feeders (groups A, B and C, respectively). The steers were fed grass legume silage ad libitum with fresh silage added 4 times daily. 24 hour feed-consumption patterns and feed quantity were recorded for each individual steer through time lapse video. Blood samples drawn on Days 0, 14 and 28 were analysed for cortisol and differential leukocyte counts. The animals were weighed on these sampling days at 09:00 h. Group A had the longest mean eating time per meal and the lowest number of eating bouts. Group B had the lowest mean eating time but intake was not different from that of Group A. Animals in Group B compensated for their shorter times spent at the feeder by increasing their rate of intake compared with those of Groups A and C. The Spearman rank feeding order correlations for time at the feeder, number of feeding bouts and intake were positive for all groups, indicating that some animals consistently ate the most often and had the greatest intake. Groups A and B both had high Spearman rank feeding order correlations for mean meal length, total time at the feeder and number of feeding bouts. These high correlations could indicate that subordinate animals were probably not disadvantaged by being fed in a group compared with animals fed individually. Neutrophil:lymphocyte ratios did not differ between groups on any sample day. There were no significant differences in weight gains and cortisol plasma concentrations among experimental groups or time of sampling. Reduction in number of individual feeders by two-thirds and three-quarters did not influence weight gains and it had no significant effect on stress levels. It is concluded that some degree of competition is desirable in group feeding..

To decipher or obey the intent of this sign?
Saw this at the local Cox Communications office when I went to pay my bill yesterday. No words or writing...just this sticker.
Here's a specific excerpt from the Arkansas state laws concerning concealed carry:
addition to the places enumerated in this section, the carrying of a concealed
handgun may be disallowed in any place in the discretion of the person or
entity exercising control over the physical location of such place by the
placing of a written notice clearly readable at a distance of not less than
ten (10) feet that the @carrying of a handgun is prohibited.@ Provided no sign
shall be required for private homes and any licensee entering a private home
shall notify the occupants that he is carrying a concealed handgun.

Vick will compete with fellow incumbent Nick Foles and anyone else the club elects to acquire between now and training camp. But will Foles himself even be there?

The Fastest Street Car in
San Diego?
Probably not, There is truth in the old saying "There is always someone out there faster". Fastnuf isn't a race car, It doesn't carry a four link, 14x32's or a minature radiator and electric water pump. FASTNUF is a TRUE street car and is driven to work, cruise spots and the strip, unlike other SO-CALLED street cars that have to be towed around the block on a stretcher
FASTNUF is a 1964 Chevy Nova SS with fiberglass doors, hood, trunk lid, bumpers and seats. (It does have a full interior)It uses 11" 4 wheel disc brakes to bring it to a stop after those 150 MPH passes. The rear is a Currie Enterprises aluminum piece with a Strange aluminum center section carrying a light weight spool and 4.11 gears. Rolling stock consists of 30x10.5 Mickey T E.T. Streets in back and Firestone 165SR15's up front. Traction is aided only by CalTrac bars and adjustable AVO shocks in the rear and Koni 90/10's up front with spherical bearings in the lower control arms and Del/Alum bushings in the top.

Oh snap! Photography and music combine for Photosynthesis, a free festival this Saturday, August 9, 2014 at Century Park in Century City adjacent to the Annenberg Space for Photography. Advanced registration is mandatory, so RSVP here. Doors open at 2:00 p.m., and the event runs until 9:30 p.m.
Picture this: three amazing photographers share the stories behind the images, which will be displayed on two gigantic 15' x 15' LED video walls between sets of live music. KKJZ's Gary "The Wagman" Wagner emcees.
Award-winning photographer Amelia Davis, who was also the assistant to prolific rock photographer Jim Marshall (pictured) for his final thirteen years, kicks off the talks with a slide presentation of Marshall's iconic images from Woodstock, Monterey Pop and more. The Murphy Family Band from Culver City is slated to follow with a mix of live bluegrass music.
Next up is Ethan Russell, the only photographer to shoot album covers of the top three bands of the 60s: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who. Revel in excerpts from Russell's theatrical performance The Best Seat in the House, based on his book American Story, as well as photographs of Jim Morrison, Linda Ronstadt, Janis Joplin and others. After Russell, Run Boy Run rolls out an acoustic blend of bluegrass, folk and Americana with a twist of classical and jazz.
Rounding out the photography lectures is the highly acclaimed photographer Mark Seliger, whose remarkable portraits of musical artists have been center stage in a number of Annenberg Space for Photography exhibits as well as museums. You've probably seen his work in glossy magazines - Vanity Fair, Italian Vogue, to name two - without realizing it.
The eponymous James Harman's Bamboo Porch Revue, fronted by a harmonica player, songwriter, bandleader, and veteran of the blues roadhouse circuit, follows the final talk. Then, photographer Mark Seliger returns to the stage with his country music band, Rusty Truck. Joey Peters (Grant Lee Buffalo) mans the drums, Michael Duff (Chalk Farm) plays guitar, and Kristin Mooney dishes up vocals. Better not be camera shy. Rusty Truck's last song will showcase a crowd-sourced music video featuring material shot throughout the festival and submitted through social media by members of the audience, including you!

How to Play With a Kitten
Sometimes your kitten just won't leave you alone. Everyone knows how annoying that can be! If your kitten looks alert and is playing with your fingers or toes, it's time to get out a toy.
1Go to the kitty bin and get a toy. If you don't have a feather/toy attached to a string and stick, take a shoelace, tie the toy to the end, and there you have it.
2Play some entertaining music. The more fun the music, the more playful your cat will get. Beach and party music work best. Some cats even like classical music. It depends on your cats' taste.
3Find kitty and dangle the toy in front of her/him. Jerk the toy up and down a couple times until kitty is using her paws to bat the toy.
4Start walking around with the toy dangling in the air or dragging on the ground. Once you have your cat's attention, it's time to run.
5Run up and down the hallway or just walk around holding the toy just out of kitty's reach and have her/him jump for it.
6Grab a large toy and sit/lay on the ground with your cat.
7Shake the toy in front of kitty. If kitty's interested, you can do a gentle wrestle with her/him over the toy. If kitty show no interest, don't try to force her/him to do anything. Remember, this is playtime for kitty, not you.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- If your kitten starts biting your hand, don't say or mutter "ouch", because it doesn't hurt. It will become a habit for your kitten for when it grows up, then it will hurt really bad when they start biting and scratching you.
- If kitty starts panting and slowing her/his pace, playtime is over.
- If kitty is on the ground just lounging around; don't try to get her worked up. You'll have one mad kitty.
- Give kitty her rest. This doesn't mean you should only play with her once a day. Just don't go and try to play with her every five minutes.
- A laser pointer is also a cat favorite. The cat will chase it while you can sit back and relax.
- Using catnip toys usually attracts kitty and keeps the game going longer.
- If your cat gets too playful, your cat may scratch or bite you, so don't play too hard.
- When playing with kitty and holding the toy, be careful, she might bite you instead of the toy. A firm "NO!" should get the message through. Show her the toy, let her bite it, then say 'Good kitty!'
- If you use catnip, be aware that kittens are not that attracted to it and will get bored very quickly.
Things You'll Need
- A shoelace.
- A couple of (maybe) catnip filled toys.
- An energetic kitty.
- Maybe a laser pointer as above.

Reviews for Pastitsio
"I used ground chicken as my meat. I did the rest of the recipe as written and added the cinnamon. I added the macaroni to the meat mixture, then I put have the meat & mac mixture to dish, sprinkled 1/2 cup parmesan cheese over mixture, than added other half. Poured the b?chamel over and baked. It was delicious. My husband said it was a keeper."
"Followed the recipe exactly. Did not add the cinnamon as it was optional.I used ground lamb when I realized it was a Greek dish. My husband said he couldn't taste the onions ( I used a large onion because thats all I had) so it should have been enough, also we couldn't taste the garlic or Oregano. My sauce was too thick but didn't know how thick it should have been. Maybe if the sauce was thinner allowing it to spread down into the dish before baking it would have tasted better, but who knows. It was edible but not memorable."
"Good stuff! This is a yummy comfort food!"
"The whole family loved it! That is worth a 5 star review at our house!"
"I liked this meal, it was very satisfying."

Anthropologist Merrill Singer coined the term syndemic in the early 1990s to describe the mutually reinforcing nature of health crises, such as substance abuse, violence, and AIDS, that take hold in communities with harsh and inequitable living conditions. Observers throughout history have recognized that different disease processes interact, but Singer's innovation was to interpret those connections as evidence of a higher order phenomenon, which he named a "syndemic." A generic definition "is two or more afflictions, interacting synergistically, contributing to excess burden of disease in a population." Since the 1970s, health planners have understood that effective responses to the intertwined afflictions within communities require systemwide interventions. However, the desire to achieve systemic change stands in opposition to what most public health agencies are prepared to do. Ingrained in financial structures, problem-solving frameworks, statistical models, and the criteria for professional prestige is the idea, inherited from medical science, that each affliction ...

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla.
-- In a solemn ceremony under cloudy skies, 16 names were added to the memorial at the Kauffman Explosive Ordnance Disposal Training Complex May 1.
The names were those of members from all services who were killed in action last year while serving as EOD technicians in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Also remembered was Tech Sgt. Rick Palmer, an instructor at the Naval School, Explosive Ordnance Disposal, who passed away unexpectedly last year. The 41st annual memorial service gave family, friends and members of the EOD community, both past and present, a chance to remember the fallen.
The EOD Memorial Foundation president, Robert Fay, said the foundation maintains the memorial and uses money raised through corporate sponsorships and an annual auction to bring in the families of the fallen to the ceremony and provides scholarships for EOD spouses and children. They also validate the information needed before a name is added to the wall.
"We ask for service-specific information and documentation to meet the criteria that the individual was killed during an EOD incident," he said.
Navy Capt. Adam Guziewicz, NAVSOLEOD commander, said it was an honor to remember those fallen heroes who sacrificed all for their country. Ten were Navy, four were Air Force and two were Army. All went through the school to receive their EOD certification.
"They were all volunteers who didn't identify themselves by service," Captain Guziewicz said. "EOD technicians first share common traits and experiences that transcend their services."
Guest speaker, Admiral Jonathan Greenert, Vice Chief of Naval Operations, said he was overwhelmed being at the ceremony. He said that while the EOD community was small (approximately 7,000 personnel), they bring an enormous presence to the fight.
"We demand people who are leaders, who provide excellence in all capacities," he said. "In Central Command, not one convoy will move without EOD coverage. EOD is embedded with the Special Operation Forces and the Navy SEALS who don't get their job done without EOD.
Admiral Greenert went on to say that EOD technicians are key trainers for the Iraqi and Afghanistan police forces and their armies. He praised their physical strength, endurance, mental concentration and intelligence.
"EOD men and women have a special ethos and unconditional trust in their team and themselves; their motto is 'initial success or total failure.' These are the people who run to danger; they don't run away from danger."
The admiral concluded his remarks by recognizing the families for giving the Department of Defense such special heroes and assured those present that they didn't die in vain.
"We may never know the countless number of lives they saved doing their job," he said. "Their legacy will never diminish, never fade."
I know there must be a special place in Heaven for EOD. I have met many of these special young men and women over the years and I know them to be honorable and I feel the least well known by civilians of our Military. I am the Mother of an EOD Tech and also a Special Forces Soldiers Angel. All of my Seals are so very grateful for EOD presence. God Bless All of you and comfort the families of our fallen.Nancy Cowart, Austin Texas, Proud Mom of AFEOD TSGT Charles Cowart Longhorn Angel

I am looking for a cheap read-only storage medium with around 4 GB space, in most of my cases 1 GB is enough. The idea is to make the device bootable and use it as an replacement for a live CD (CD=slow). One example would be an SD card if I wouldn't have found out that they don't have a real physical write lock and the write lock is often realised in firmware, software etc.
Are there maybe special USB sticks that have a real physical write lock? I never know if there is any malware on the system where I use the medium. CD/DVD would be read-only, but it's so damn slow ): Thanks for any hint!

The smaller retailers had demanded that the market share of the bigger companies be sliced from about 80% to as low as 25%. The cap would have forced Woolworths to lose a third of its stores and Coles, ...

Apple has launched a MacBook repair extension program for hard drives issues (http://www.apple.com/support/macbook/hd/repairextension/). The company says it's determined that "a very small percentage" of hard drives that were used in MacBook systems, sold between approximately May 2006 and December 2007, may fail under certain conditions.
If your MacBook was purchased in the date range listed above and shows a flashing question mark on the screen, take it to Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider and they'll examine the hard drive to confirm if it's eligible for a replacement, free of charge, under this program.
If Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider confirms that your hard drive is affected, Apple will replace it with a new hard drive. You'll need to have the original OS installation discs that were shipped with your product in order to re-install your operating system, other applications, and any backed up data.

College Hockey:Rutledge stops 28 as Michigan crushes Michigan State
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — After two close periods of hockey, Michigan scored three third-period goals to bury Michigan State, 5-1, in the first meeting between these two rivals this season.
Five different Wolverines scored and freshman Jared Rutledge earned his first collegiate win, topping 28-of-29 shots to do so.
"We were scoring timely goals and that was important," said Michigan coach Red Berenson. "It's nice to see us have a strong third period at home with a lead."
Timing was everything in this game. Trailing 2-0 on first-period goals by Lindsay Sparks and Cristoval Nieves, the Spartans drew to within one with 36.4 seconds remaining in the second period when Kevin Walrod backhanded one past Rutledge while crossing the slot. Michigan State coach Tom Anastos was disappointed that the Spartans didn't capitalize on the kind of momentum a period-ending goal can provide.
"I liked where we were going into the third period," said Anastos. "I thought our guys were more comfortable in the game and we'd settled down … and then we give them a goal. You want to get beaten by a real good play by the other team, make them make a good play. We gave it to them."
What the Spartans gave to the Wolverines was an opportunity to score early in the third period. Michigan's Phil Di Giuseppe took the puck to the MSU crease and turned it over to Spartan Anthony Hayes — who immediately gave the puck to Wolverine Derek DeBlois, who one-timed it back past MSU goaltender Will Yanakeff to give Michigan a 3-1 lead at 4:09.
"We're not talking about a complicated play," said Anastos. "That was a fundamental play that we talk about doing. We didn't execute it, and they took advantage of it."
At 15:28, Kevin Lynch made it 4-1 moments after Michigan's Jacob Trouba exited the penalty box, and then Trouba scored himself on a power play at 18:01.
"I like the way we started the game," said Berenson. "I thought we sagged in the second period and they came back, they pushed back — you know they would — and I thought we had a good third period. The all-important goal was DeBlois'. And then when we're killing a penalty and they don't score and Kevin Lynch does.
"It's important to finish the game strong. If you look at Michigan State's scoring, their third period has been their best period."
Neither coach would commit to a starting goalie for Saturday's rematch in Munn Ice Arena, although Berenson said that he would consider Rutledge.
"He's been off to a shaky start," said Berenson. "We knew he was a good goalie inside and it just had to come out and it came out tonight. I thought he was quick. He looked comfortable, confident, and made some key saves."
Anastos has praise for Yanakeff, who stopped 29 shots in the loss. Yanakeff looked particularly good in the first period, when UM outshot MSU, 15-5. With a little over two minutes left in the period and MSU trailing already 2-0, Yanakeff shut down Michigan's leading scorer, A.J. Treais, when Treais threaded two Spartans and had Yanakeff all to himself.
"It's disappointing that we end up losing the game 5-1 after a performance with some of the saves that he did make," said Anastos.
Saturday's game in East Lansing begins at 7:05 p.m.

How a Single Front-End Engineer
Can Replace a Team of Two
"Demand within the web design scene has changed over the past few years: designers with front-end skills, and front-end developers with design skills, are more and more in demand. Yes, you could argue that the jobs are completely different—and maybe you straight-up don't like one of them—but truth be told, in my six years as a freelance web developer and twelve years as a designer, I've learned that it's much harder to get by as just a web designer or just a front-end developer."

Get to know me better
I knew I wanted to be an artist ever since I chewed up my first coloring pencil and ate my first piece of paper. My love for computer graphics started the day I first saw Greg Martins' beautiful space landscapes and got my first computer that could run Photoshop. My love for computers started with my first Nintendo game, and thanks to my parents who saw my potential, that love grew to become a constant process of learning, exploring and understanding of computer technologies and computer graphics. I am proud to say that I enjoy my work, and it makes me smile to do so. In business, as in life, I always give my best to push the envelope in everything I do; constantly trying to advance myself in every possible way. It gives me great joy every time I have an opportunity to give back to community. Out side of work you can see me performing as a Stand Up Comedian across Croatia, Slovenia and in few clubs in Zagreb, like Studio Smijeha. When it's sunny outside, try to catch me on my Suzuki Bandit, while I search for a new great place to grab a bite, or drink some good cup of Coffee.

Infection Detections of Malware that Spread via AutoRun
Microsoft has admitted that malicious software are using AutoRun as a vector for infection, and thus newer versions of Windows (starting with 7) will not feature it for all removable media. Detachable hard drives, USB/thumb drives, rewritable CDs and DVDs and other �generic� mass storage devices will no longer use AutoRun by default. The idea is to reduce the chance of a machine getting infected by plugging in media you aren't sure of.
The commonly known AutoRun feature will be retained for read-only optical media, such as CDs and DVDs, claiming that those are seldom used as a transmission medium for malware or viruses. This may seem like a minor change, but it does represent a fundamental change in the way Microsoft developers are seeing security threats.

NHL HomeGrown
|Detroit Red Wings
|Pavel Datsyuk (Getty Images)
Line 1: Tomas Fleischmann-Pavel Datsyuk-Johan Franzen
With Pavel Datsyuk you have one of the best players in the NHL and one of the all-time great draft steals. Tomas Fleischmann, the Red Wings second-round pick in 2002, never played a game in Detroit before being traded to Washington for Robert Lang.
Line 2: Valterri Filppula - Henrik Zetterberg - Jiri Hudler
The Red Wings didn't own a first-round pick in the '02 draft and didn't pick until No. 58 overall but still produced three straight NHL regulars in Hudler, Fleischmann and Filppula. Henrik Zetterberg was a 7th round selection in 1999, and like Datsyuk, one of the best steals in draft history. It also always brings up a good debate: How much of it is good scouting, how much of it is player development, and how much of it is luck?
I thought about putting Zetterberg on a line with Datsyuk, which they have done at times in the past, but I'll leave him at his more natural position.
Line 3: Tomas Holmstrom - Darren Helm - Tomas Kopecky
Since Tomas Holmstrom hasn't officially made up his mind on whether or not he's going to return, I'll insert him into the lineup along with the speedy Darren Helm and Tomas Kopecky. Should Holmstrom decide to hang up the skates, slide Justin Abdelkader into that spot.
Offensive scratch: Justin Abdelkader
Defensive pairing 1: Niklas Kronwall - Jonathan Ericsson
Normally this is where Nicklas Lidstrom would go but, obviously, his Hall of Fame career came to an end this summer and that leaves the Red Wings defense a little thin … not only for the purposes of our little game here, but also in real life. This isn't a bad pairing, but it's also probably not a great top pairing, either.
Defensive pairing 2: Kyle Quincey - Jakub Kindl
Yeah, as I was saying … the defense would be a little thin.
Defensive scratch: Brendan Smith
Goaltenders: Jimmy Howard - Tomas McCollum
Not much would change from a goaltending perspective as Jimmy Howard would still be the No. 1 and Tomas McCollum would replace Jonas Gustavsson (signed this summer as a free agent) to be his backup.

We are still in the LONG process of trying to buy a house that is a short sale. It's one of those living in limbo moments where we could be moving in the next few months or not at all. Trying to be positive though, we have spent our free time getting our home ready to sell.
One of those things on the to do list was taking our oldest sons room from a dark Colts blue color that he loved to something a bit more neutral and more crowd pleasing.I didn't take any great before pictures of his room, but like any pre-teen he had it jam packed with a little bit of everything! He even left up the superbowl decor that I made back in February.
We ended up moving everything out of his room minus his dresser and bed and taking everything off of his walls. I wanted to do a baseball theme in his room but decided that less it more so I didn't overdecorate that's for sure! I picked up this comforter and pillow at a garage sale for $5. It's not my favorite, but it is more neutral than his blue stripes that he had before. I bought the four panels of curtains at a garage sale a few years back for next to nothing.
This is the view from his room. Mt. Rainier will totally sell the house don't you think?!
I left this Pottery Barn sports rug in his room to cover up some stains. I picked the rug up a few years ago at a garage sale for $8.
That's it. Nothing fancy, just neutral. Hoping that when it's time to sell the house it goes quickly. This is a room that is definitely designed to sell.

The contract for recently privatized cleaning operations within several Milwaukee County departments has been awarded to "Mid-American Cleaning Contractors" by County Executive Scott Walker. "Mid-American Cleaning Contractors" is based in Columbus Ohio, not in Milwaukee County or Wisconsin for that matter. If this sounds familiar, it is. Last summer, Walker caught some heat from local businesses for outsourcing his campaign website to… you guessed it, Ohio!
Corporation Counsel William Domina told supervisors that the outsourcing was properly handled as a procurement. By including the outsourcing as part of the county's budget, the County Board gave its blessing to the policy change, he said. Privatization has been a key bone of contention between Walker and the board for years. Walker has continually pushed to shift county jobs to the private sector as a means of controlling costs. The board has frequently resisted those moves, but acquiesced to the custodial outsourcing when faced with a deep 2010 budget shortfall. The custodial services outsourcing eliminates more than 90 county jobs. County employees will get a chance to apply for jobs with the new contractors, but likely at lower pay and reduced benefits. County housekeepers are paid $10.18 to $14.64 an hour. The contract for cleaning the Courthouse complex and county offices at 2711 W. Wells St. has been tentatively awarded to Mid-American Cleaning Contractors and will start Jan. 18. Another firm, Wauwatosa-based [Imagine that.] CleanPower, has been tentatively picked for cleaning the Mental Health Complex and juvenile detention center starting Jan. 10. Fifteen different private cleaning services bid on the county custodial services contracts.
A portion of [Racine's] federally funded contract for LED lights will go to a Waukesha company, which bid lower than Ruud Lighting, the local manufacturer. The City Council voted Tuesday night to award a $243,000 contract to Ruud Lighting for LED lights for storage garages and exterior lighting on city buildings and a $101,000 contract to Spectrum Lighting Ltd, a light distributor in Waukesha. Spectrum was the lowest bidder for the streetlights, said Richard Jones, the commissioner of public works. The streetlights will be manufactured in Indianapolis, Jones said. [Oh horrors.] Even though Ruud Lighting is located in Racine, the city is not able to give preference to local companies, Jones said.

Editorial of Stop Nuclear Power Network's broadsheet on nuclear power:
The paper you are reading was produced by the Stop Nuclear Power Network, a non-hierarchical network of groups and individuals committed to resisting nuclear power in Britain and worldwide (see bottom left). With this paper, we are trying to do something to counter the spin of government and nuclear industry. Nuclear power is not the answer to climate change, neither is it safe, nor is it economical, nor is it needed.
In this paper, we have put together information on various aspects of nuclear power, aimed at debunking the pro-nuclear arguments, as well as presenting the anti-nuclear arguments. On this page you will find information on nuclear power and climate change. On the following pages we deal with the unresolved nuclear waste issue, the security flaws of the proposed nuclear reactor designs, and the dumping of local democracy to fast-track nuclear power. This is followed by information on the flawed economics of nuclear power, and on the effects of radiation from nuclear power stations — even without an accident.
On a more positive side, we also provide some outline information on alternatives.
On the last page you will find information on how to resist nuclear power, and local contacts.
We hope that you not only enjoy reading this, but that it will stimulate and encourage you to become active against nuclear power. The time to act is now — if the government and the nuclear industry get their way, the first bulldozers might move in as soon as in 2011!
When, if not now? Who, if not us? Resist with us now!

Mitella Limpet Shell, Lottia mitella: The Mitella Limpet Shell is a black shell with a raised white cap that has a dark rounded hourglass in the middle and alternating dark and white lines extending into the margin. The shell surface is smooth with an eroded apex. The internal surface is a dark with irregular dark and white bars around the fringes.
Note: this shell also appears in the literature as Acmaea mitella and Collisella mitella but both the Acmaea and Collisella Genus were consolidated into the Lottia genus in 2007.
They reach a published maximum size of 1.3 cm (0.5 inch) x 1.0 cm (0.4 inches) x 0.6 cm (0.25 inches); however the bottom pictured shell below is significantly larger.
The Mitella Limpet Shell is very similar to the Checkered Limpet Shell but has more ribs (45 to 47 versus 30 to 32).
In Mexican waters they are only known from Mazatlán south to Guatemala around the coast of the mainland with the collection below documenting a significant range extension for this species.
The Mitella Limpet Shell is a medium sized member of the Lottiidae Family, which are the True Limpets known in Mexico as Lapas. The members of the family are characterized by having a horseshoe-shaped muscle scar (the scar left by the margin of the mantle and the foot retractor muscles) and conical shells. The coiling of the shell has been completely lost and internally they have only a single ctedinum (breathing apparatus). They reside primarily on rocks in protected areas in the mid-intertidal zone. They feed on algae which they scrape off the substrate with their radula (tongue).

College Hockey:UNH to Develop Holt Hockey Archives
DURHAM, N.H. — The University of New Hampshire is recognizing a legendary figure and helping college hockey at the same time, announcing the development of the Charles E. Holt Archives of American Hockey.
The Holt Archives — named after UNH's legendary, Hall of Fame coach who passed away earlier this year — will be a repository of materials covering the history of men's and women's hockey, including organizational records, player scrapbooks, photographs, media publications, taped interviews, and artifacts.
"It's going to be a wonderful resource for men's and women's hockey," said Holt's daughter Brenda. "The hope is people will share their research and findings just as my father shared his knowledge and wisdom."
Both Hockey East and the American Hockey Coaches Association have recently agreed to make the Holt Archives the home of their records.
"New England is the appropriate place to house these records and there is no other name that means so much to the game of hockey than Charlie Holt," said Joe Bertagna, Hockey East Commissioner and AHCA Executive Director.
UNH Director of Special Collections, Bill Ross, and faculty member Steve Hardy anticipate an aggressive campaign to acquire materials from players, coaches, administrators, and officials representing the history of hockey at all levels, in all regions of the country.
"Too often, important historical records make their way to a dumpster or are stored away in damp basements," Ross said. "The creation of the Holt Archives will help ensure that the history of American amateur and collegiate hockey is preserved for generations to come."
The Holt Archives will be housed in Special Collections at the University of New Hampshire's newly renovated and expanded Dimond Library.
"To our knowledge there is no archive on American hockey on any scale. We want this to be the mecca for men's and women's hockey research in the country," Hardy said. "When you combine the records of the men's and women's programs, there are few, if any, programs that match UNH and that is why it's perfect for it to be located here."

Last week we transferred our FeedBurner account to Google and encountered some hiccups.
Here is Google's FAQ on this migration, and here is an extremely helpful Google page providing known bugs and workarounds.
Q: What Feedburner bug did RKGblog encounter?
A: We got 502 and 503 errors on our primary RSS url, feeds.rimmkaufman.com/rkgblog. We use a FeedBurner (FB) service called MyBrand to preserve our domain in our feed URL. If you are not using MyBrand (you should be), then migrating from old FB to the new Google account is just pushing one button. If you are using MyBrand, you also have to follow the instructions on this page on adding a CNAME so FB has DNS authority to serve that subdomain for you.
The bug is that the feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mybrand page doesn't work as you'd expect. To make it to work, you first need to hit the deactivate button, then hit activate. Deactivation is the magic step. Be sure to note your feed-specific domain name(s) before deactivating, as doing so will clear the text field. Once you 'deactivate' and 'reactivate', add the CNAME as per the instructions, wait for the DNS to propagate, and flush your local DNS cache, all should be working.
Q: Why use FeedBurner at all?
A: I can think of eight reasons to use FB for RSS.
Is this still relevant in 2009? Unsure.
BuzzBoost. This is a Recent Posts widget.
Nice, but we've seen homepage loading delays because of this. We'll be replacing the FB widget on our homepage with a static include, generated hourly by a trivial cron script.
Bandwidth. FB fetches RSS from your site when pinged, then FB handles all the requests for your feed from the outside world. Free bandwidth.
Nice. Thanks, Google.
Adserving. You can use Feedburner/AdSense to insert ads into your feeds.
We don't put ads in our RSS. Thus, not relevant to us.
FeedBulletin. Provides a RSS feed on the fetch health of your feed.
Useful. We could use our Nagios system to monitor our feed availability, but FeedBulletin/FeedMedic is already there.
Site analytics. FB used to provide very nice site analytics for blogs. They just dropped those in favor of Google Analytics.
Sigh. I found the FB data, presentation, and UI far better than the GA replacement. I miss those clickable french fry charts.
Email. Feedburner can maintain an email list of people wishing read your RSS via email.
Useful and appreciated. Be aware that migrating this list elsewhere could be difficult, as discussed here.
Subscriber counts. This was FB's strength, imho. FB grabbed subscriber data from the user agent strings of the various 'bots taking its feeds, then aggregated subscription and reach counts for each publisher, time period, and feed item. Rick Klau discussed FB data collection here. Note FB counts can be manipulated.
While some suggest weak methods to approximate FB stats, I don't know of any good alternative to FB for subscriber and reach data. Unfortunately, FB's counts have been fluctuating wildly recently, causing some to question their usefulness.
Q: Why MyBrand? Why serve RSS from your own domain?
A: FB says MyBrand "allows publishers to showcase their feeds by serving them from their own domain." While there may be slight branding benefit here, the key issue is transportability. If your subscribers are signed up through a FB url, you can't easily change that without losing subscribers. By having your feed URL on your own domain, you can move on and off FB (or anywhere) as needed.
Every company with a blog or a RSS feed should ensure that their feed URL is on their own domain. No exceptions.
For example, RKGblog lives at feeds.rimmkaufman.com/rkgblog. That looks like our servers, but we've delegated the feeds-dot subdomain to FB by setting a CNAME on our DNS machines. Requests for that URL go to FB servers, which return our cached content and tally our stats. You can see this by pinging feeds.rimmkaufman.com: the response comes back from ghs.l.google.com.
If we wanted, we could direct that URL back to our Wordpress RSS URL, taking FB out of the loop. Our subscribers wouldn't notice any change.
Q: Do all Feedburner publishers have to migrate from old FeedBurner to the new Google-login Feedburner?
A: Yes. The switch is mandatory by Feb 28, 2009.
Q: Are RKGblog's Feedburner subscriber and reach counts still fluctuating? Are they still half their prior levels?
A: As of 1/26/09, yes to both.
Q: Are there any good alternatives to Feedburner?
A: I don't know of any myself, but I'm not a RSS expert. Please comment below with suggestions. I'm especially interested in alternative feed analytics options.
Q: What is the DNS cache, and how does one flush it?
A: DNS maps names like 'www.rimmkaufman.com' to IP address like '184.108.40.206'. Your local machine keeps a cache to save time. When working with DNS, you need to clear your cache to see your changes immediately. To dump the DNS cache on a windows box, pull up a DOS window (Start > Run > cmd) and enter 'net stop dnscache' then enter 'net start dnscache'. On a linux box, use '/etc/init.d/nscd restart'.
Update 1/30/09
FB seems to be working fine. Our feeds appear stable. Reach and subs counts are still half their early January levels. Suspect the halving will be the new normal.
