Your FLOR can be installed on virtually any clean, hard and dry indoor surface. DON'T install your FLOR over carpeting or padding, floors with hand-painted or vintage varnish finish, unfinished waxed floors, any floors finished with a solvent-based sealant, oil-based finish, unsealed concrete or outdoors.
If you have a concrete floor, be sure it is smooth and fully cured for a minimum of 90 days. To seal concrete surfaces, use a non-solvent-based sealer. Let the surface dry completely before installing your FLOR.
With regular vacuuming, your FLOR will maintain its appearance and provide many years of enjoyment. If FLOR is the only soft surface in a room of hard flooring (e.g., wood, stone or ceramic), it may collect its fair share of dirt, so frequent vacuuming is recommended. Vacuuming and spot-cleaning will cure most problems, but keep in mind they are just two steps in the overall maintenance process.
Like other carpeting, FLOR fibers can become matted and embedded with soil over time. Grease and oil, in particular, can trap dry particles and result in a dull-looking carpet. When this occurs, contact a carpet cleaning professional for a general cleaning. We recommend wet extraction or steam cleaning for nylon and polyester tiles. Wet cleaning results in some downtime of the carpet and potential dampness between and around tiles. Dry extraction is less recommended but does have a shorter downtime and leaves minimal chance for dampness.

It has been a relatively warm summer, with variable water conditions due to localized rain events. Water levels have been below normal in Prince Edward Island, below normal to normal in Nova Scotia, and normal to above normal in New Brunswick. Environment Canada is predicting above-normal temperatures and normal precipitation for most areas, although parts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia may be wetter.
Plenty of waterfowl broods are being observed on the landscape. Broods of many species — particularly American black ducks, mallards and Canada geese — have fledged.
Despite variable water levels, wetlands are still providing good waterfowl habitat and are not at risk of becoming too dry. Based on long-term weather forecasts, moisture should continue to be replenished into the fall.

Religion's Impact on End-of-Life Care
March 17, 2009 -- Terminally ill cancer patients who relied on their religious faith to help them cope with their disease were more likely to receive aggressive medical care during their last week of life, a study shows.
Patients who engaged in what the researchers called positive religious coping, which included prayer, meditation, and religious study, ended up having more intensive life-prolonging interventions such as mechanical ventilation or cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
The study is published in the latest edition of The Journal of the American Medical Association.
The patients who reported a high level of positive religious coping at the start of the study were almost three times as likely to receive mechanical ventilation and other life-prolonging medical care in the last week of life as patients who said they relied less on their religious beliefs to help them deal with their illness.
A high level of religious coping was also associated with less use of end-of-life planning strategies, including do-not-resuscitate orders, living wills, and appointment of a health care power of attorney.
It is not entirely clear why terminally ill patients who report relying more on their religion would choose more life-prolonging medical interventions.
But researchers say these patients may be less likely to believe their doctors when they are told there is no hope.
"There may be a sense that it is really not in the hands of the doctors to decide when to give up," study researcher Holly G. Prigerson, PhD, of Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute tells WebMD. "Refusing some of these very aggressive medical interventions may be seen as giving up on the possibility that God might intervene."
Religion and Coping With Illness
The study included 345 advanced cancer patients treated between January 2003 and August 2007 at medical facilities across the country.
Use of religion to cope with illness was assessed through questionnaires and patient interviews.
Patients were followed until death, which occurred an average of four months after enrollment.
The study revealed that:
- Roughly four out of five patients reported that religion helped them cope "to a moderate extent" or more and close to one in three agreed with the statement "it is the most important thing that keeps me going."
- More than half of the patients (55.9%) reported praying, meditating, or studying their religion daily.
- Patients who reported a high level of positive religious coping were more likely to be black or Hispanic. They also tended to be less educated, were less likely to have medical insurance, or be married than patients who reported a low reliance on religion.
- Of the patients who reported a high level of religious coping, 11% had mechanical ventilation during their last week of life and 7.4% underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), compared to 3.6% and 1.8%, respectively, of patients who reported a low level of religious coping.

AUSTIN, Texas – Nov. 16, 2012 – The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) board, after lengthy testimony dominated by a large Highland Lakes contingent, passed an emergency order that will likely provide enough water for first crop rice on approximately 50 percent of the fields in Texas's Wharton, Matagorda and Colorado counties. It is very unlikely second crop rice will receive water unless significant rains materialize to increase water storage in the Highland Lakes before midsummer.
Kirby Brown, conservation outreach biologist for Ducks Unlimited, testified before the LCRA board on Nov. 13 regarding the importance of LCRA irrigation district rice for waterfowl on the Gulf Coast. Approximately 60 percent of the estimated 1.96 million midwinter bird population for the Texas Mid-Coast is expected to rely on ricelands (active and idle flooded rice fields) to meet their food needs. In addition, the Gulf Coast Joint Venture identifies specific population objectives for more than 12 million shorebirds and wading birds that are highly dependent on water in ricelands for nesting, migration and wintering habitat.
"We realize that water allocation decisions are challenging, and that compromises have to be made," Brown said. "However, Ducks Unlimited feels very strongly that the needs of waterfowl and wetland wildlife in the rice prairie wetlands complex must be voiced and evaluated along with other stakeholder interests. There are significant economic impacts tied to rice agriculture and waterfowl hunting, as well as natural resource and cultural heritage considerations. We sincerely thank the LCRA board and staff for taking the time to hear our concerns, and we want to express our appreciation for their efforts to meet in the middle."
Ducks Unlimited remains concerned about the overall decrease in rice acreage and the predicted absence of second crop rice. Because of the timing of seed maturation, second crop rice is particularly important for migratory waterfowl. In terms of food needed to support wintering waterfowl in the Texas Mid-Coast agricultural landscape, second crop rice provides at least 10 times as much as first crop rice.
"This is the last intact rice prairie wetland complex of its size remaining in Texas, and the Colorado River is a critical migration landmark running right through the middle of it. I cannot overstate the importance of this area for waterfowl and wetland wildlife," Brown concluded.
For every 10,000 acres of flooded ricelands lost, the region loses the ability to support 120,000 waterfowl.
At the hearing, Brown expressed DU's commitment to working with LCRA and other water-management entities to find sound conservation solutions in the rice prairie wetlands complex.
Ducks Unlimited is interested in maximizing use of "run-of-river" water to provide for early fall flooding of ricelands, waterfowl ponds and other habitats across all LCRA irrigation districts. The organization also encourages reasonable compromises, water conservation practices that benefit all users and strategic off-channel reservoir construction as a means to provide water for irrigated agriculture and wildlife habitat.
Ducks Unlimited Inc. is the world's largest non-profit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats.

Resolving stale links to SunSolve documentation on My Oracle Support
By Gerry Haskins-Oracle on Apr 18, 2012
A couple of folks have posted comments on old blog entries complaining that they can't resolve links to old SunSolve content.
SunSolve was decommissioned as part of the integration into Oracle. Documentation which is still relevant was migrated. The URIs changed in the process. So did the document IDs.
On the basis that it's better to teach a man how to fish than to just give him a fish, here's a tip on how to do find the current links to such migrated documentation. At least, this is how I do it:
If you're looking to find the current URI for a document for which you have a stale URI such as http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-79-250526.1-1 , simply search MOS using the "core" document number in the old SunSolve URI - for example "250526" in this example. Enter this in the "Search Knowledge Base" search box.
If the document is still relevant, MOS will usually return the corresponding new Document ID. For example, in this case Document 1019995.1. The top line of the document 1019995.1 states "Migrated ID: 250526".
I've updated the Doc IDs for a number of my old blog postings. Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

PARKERSBURG - More than a dozen Wood County Technical Center students and FFA members gathered Friday for the 65th annual Little Kanawha Ham and Bacon sale at the Parkersburg Municipal Building.
Kari Brown, an agricultural instructor at the Wood County Technical Center, said about 15 students participated in the sale, showcasing their agricultural efforts from the last eight months.
"It is a huge effort," she said. "The students raise the hogs. We do all of the processing except the slaughter. We smoke the hams and bacons, all at the Tech Center facility."

Rows of hams await judging Friday during the 65th annual Little Kanawha Ham and Bacon sale at the Parkersburg Municipal Building.
The pieces are judged and awarded prizes based on quality and preparation. The items are then auctioned, with the money from each sale going to the student whose item is sold. On average the meat brings in about $8-$11 a pound, but can sometimes go much higher.
Brown said the eggs are gathered by students from their flocks, usually two or three days before the auction, and depending on quality can fetch a bid of $50-$350 a dozen.
All food items are inspected and graded to ensure high quality, she said.
Brown said the annual event is a labor of love for the students. Many of them will take what they learned through the center's agricultural program and apply it to their future careers.
"I did this growing up," she said. "A lot of my friends became meat inspectors. It is just endless the job possibilities coming out of this program.
"It is a lot of work and it is worth the effort," Brown said.
Brown said this year a student achieved what she called the Triple Crown.
"For the first time we had someone win grand champion in two categories and reserve champion in the other, a triple crown of sorts," she said. "Austin Alatorre won grand champion for ham and eggs and reserve champion for bacon."
In the bacon sale, Alatorre's ham was sold for $39 a pound to Bridgeport Equipment. Reserve champion Stephanie Giffin's ham was sold for $19 a pound to Glenn Rhodes Trucking.
Travis Baker's grand champion bacon was sold for $60 a pound to Jim Ash. Alatorre's reserve champion bacon was sold for $30 a pound to Rick Neal.
In eggs, Alatorre's grand champion eggs sold for $125 to Bridgeport Equipment. Hunter Gessel's reserve champion eggs were sold for $65 to Dave Watson.
Overall, the hams sold for $6,618.20, bacon sold for $3,644.10 and the eggs sold for $400 for a grand total of $10,662.30, Brown said.

We are excited to announce the release of Lasergene 13, a major update that we have been working hard on for many months! This release contains new features and enhancements for each of our three suites: Genomics, Molecular Biology, and Structural Biology. As always, with each release we focus on how we can make your research easier, giving you the most accurate and comprehensive results, in the most streamlined, intuitive, and efficient way possible. So what's new in Lasergene 13? Check out the sections below to find out.

We've developed new algorithms within Lasergene Genomics Suite that enable you to perform a de novo transcriptome assembly for any size data set on a standard desktop or laptop computer. Our new algorithm utilizes RefSeq to identify and merge transcripts, resulting in longer, more complete mRNA sequences.
Once your de novo transcriptome data has been assembled, the assembled transcripts are then automatically annotated using DNASTAR's transcript annotation tool. This proprietary tool uses transcript annotations extracted from data on the NCBI RefSeq website and allows comparison to either the complete database, or a subset of data that you specify when setting up your project. The annotated results can then be used as a reference set for RNA-Seq gene expression studies or sent to NovaFold for protein structure prediction.
NovaFold, DNASTAR's software for structure prediction, now offers a new experimental method for enhancing the structural diversity of the normal template set. For templates selected by protein threading, a proprietary process samples alternate structural conformations and replaces a subset of the templates with lower energy conformations, which may improve the accuracy of the prediction.
As part of Lasergene 13, we've created a new human variant annotation database that is integrated into Lasergene Genomics Suite. This database bundles together data from dbNSFP as well as 1000 Genomes and ESP's Exome Variant Server, making variant analysis — including functional analysis of mutations, reviewing genotype and allele frequencies and genotype information — more convenient than ever.
Copying annotations from a known sequence to an unannotated, but closely related sequence has long been a tedious process. MegAlign Pro and SeqNinja now solve this problem with automatic annotation mapping. This feature automatically filters features by content or thresholds, maps location coordinates, creates reports with the details, then annotates mapped features onto your sequence, all with the click of a button.
MegAlign Pro now offers more flexibility with sequence labels, making it simple to get the labels you want on your graphics for publication, as well as reducing the time and effort needed to change sequence ID's to meaningful names.

In addition to the new features and enhancments described above, Lasergene 13 also includes routine and maintenance updates for the following applications:
The most current version of all Lasergene applications is 13.0.0, with the following exceptions: SeqMan NGen is version 13.0.1; SeqBuilder and SeqMan Pro are version 13.0.2; and ArrayStar is version 13.0.3. All of these applications are included in the DNASTAR Lasergene 13.0d installer.
ArrayStar version 13.0.3 is a minor release, addressing issues specific to the Variant Annotation Database.
Lasergene version 13.0.2 is a minor release, addressing issues specific to SeqBuilder and SeqMan Pro.
SeqMan NGen version 13.0.1 is a minor release, addressing issues specific to the de novo transcriptome and viral-host integration workflows.
For current customers, all of our upgrades are included as part of your service plan. If you have a current (non-expired) service plan, you may login to access the latest version of your software.
If you are not a current customer, feel free to try out Lasergene 13 by dowloading a fully-functional free trial, or request a quote to purchase.

- Herhold: Arrillaga project in Palo Alto needs massive revision
An advisory vote on a controversial master plan for an office and theater complex in downtown Palo Alto won't take place in June or anytime soon.
Following a five-hour hearing and testimony from more than 50 speakers, the city council voted 7-0 early Tuesday morning to hold off on testing public support and instead called for a pair of alternative plans to the so-called "27 University Ave." project pitched by developer-turned-philanthropist John Arrillaga. All three will eventually be considered side-by-side.
Council members cited several concerns about Arrillaga's plan, ranging from the seemingly secretive process that was used to develop it to the sheer size of the proposed buildings.
"This is an ambitious community but the current proposal is over-ambitious and the process has been somewhat upside down," Council Member Karen Holman said. "I am confident that Mr. Arrillaga, going forward, will want to stay attuned to what's going on and will want to build something complimentary to his legacy and complimentary to Palo Alto."
Arrillaga's plan has undergone revisions since its public introduction in September, but the four office towers and theater would still exceed the city's 50-foot height restriction on new development. Including mechanical equipment, two of the buildings would top 114 feet.
Located on 4.3 acres of mostly Stanford-owned land bounded by University Avenue, the downtown Caltrain station, El Camino Park and El Camino Real, the project also calls for a rebuild of the Intermodal Transit Center as well as improved bicycle and pedestrian connections.
Unlike 27 University, which was largely developed outside of public view, the alternative plans would be hashed out by the city's various advisory panels and subject to a pair of community meetings. They would also have to be compatible with the architectural style, mass and scale, and other urban design elements of downtown, said Council Member Pat Burt.
"I don't think that the office component to this thing should be more than four to five stories," Burt said. "I am interested in the site for a visionary outcome, but one that is driven by community values and consistent with our downtown urban fabric."
But several council members cautioned that the alternative plans should avoid being too conservative.
"I think this site has tremendous potential," said Council Member Gail Price, "and we need to make sure we're not being too restricted in some of the visionary concepts and opportunities that are right before us."
Arrillaga's plan drew far more criticism than praise from the public Monday. Some speakers even accused city staff of catering to Arrillaga's whims and keeping residents at arm's length.
"This proposal just plain violates the soul of what makes Palo Alto such a great place to live. If any proposal requires the 'Palo Alto process,' this is it," said Palo Alto Neighborhoods Chairwoman Sheri Furman, referring to the city's infamously methodical approach to development projects.
"Please slow down and take the time to thoroughly analyze such a transformative project."
Former mayor Dena Mossar also chastised the city for spending public funds and working with Arrillaga ahead of an actual project application.
"We need to have a real debate about how this area should be developed," Mossar said.
Arrillaga's plan, however, picked up support from Hal Mickelson, who is set to take over as vice chairman of the Palo Alto Chamber of Commerce's Government Affairs Committee. He also had strong praise for the work of city staff.
"We are all interested in a transparent and open discussion process on matters of this kind," Mickelson said. "If that process is to go forward, it's made possible by all the preparatory legwork done in having something to discuss. The city staff certainly deserves everyone's thanks for moving this forward."
Dick Maltzman, who serves on the board of directors of TheatreWorks, leapt to the defense of Arrillaga. The 600-seat theater in the master plan would house the popular company.
"John Arrillaga is a very good man and he doesn't deserve the kind of reaction that a lot of these people are giving him," Maltzman said. "He is doing this because he is a visionary. He looks at that property and says this would really make a great development for Palo Alto and I agree with him."
City Manager James Keene defended his employees against comments that they acted inappropriately. Their involvement in helping develop the master plan since 2011 was intended to guide a project application that ultimately represented the city council's interests in a key part of Palo Alto, he said.
"We always want to and do take our direction from the council," Keene said. "I've always said this council is thoughtful, measured and respectful in what you do. And I think the public should have ultimate confidence in what your motives are and ours are only to support what it is that you want to do as elected representatives listening to the community."
Mayor Yiaway Yeh and Council Member Larry Klein did not take part in the vote Tuesday because of their ties to Stanford University.

Stereotactic Needle Biopsy
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: December 29, 2014
What is a stereotactic needle biopsy?
- A stereotactic biopsy, also known as a stereotactic core needle biopsy, is an outpatient procedure to obtain a tissue sample of a suspicious lesion, or abnormality seen on a radiology scan but difficult to feel on physical exam.
- Stereotactic biopsies are most frequently used for breast biopsies but are also used to evaluate lung, liver, and brain abnormalities.
- Because imaging and radiology tests have improved dramatically, very small lesions are frequently discovered. Unfortunately, it is often very difficult to know whether the abnormality is benign or cancerous, and it is very important to remember that just because something is abnormal, it does not mean it is bad. The majority of abnormalities seen on radiology tests turn out to be benign findings; however, these lesions are often too small or too deep to be felt by exam. For this reason, image-guidance is frequently employed when the suspected lesion is too small.
- Stereotactic biopsies are outpatient procedures, minimally invasive, well tolerated, and widely available throughout the U.S. and most developed countries.
How is this test performed?
- A stereotactic biopsy is performed to follow up on an abnormality discovered on a scan. These biopsies are generally performed under local anesthesia (using a numbing medicine). For most of these procedures, a radiologist will be the doctor performing the biopsy.
- If a lesion can be felt, it may be located and biopsied using palpation (touching or compression with fingers). If the lesion is small and not palpable, a stereotactic biopsy will be requested. Stereotactic means the biopsy is done using X-rays or a CT scan to locate the lesion and ensure the needle is placed directly into the abnormal area. Using X-rays oriented at different angles, a 3-D image can be created to aid the radiologist in isolating the area of interest.
- For breast biopsies, a mammogram is used for image guidance. This often occurs after calcifications are seen with a screening mammogram. You will generally be lying or sitting during the test. After the area is located, a very small needle is used to numb the area (often with lidocaine). A core needle will be inserted at the area of interest. This needle has a hollow middle, which can collect cells in their natural state, with surrounding cells attached. The hollow needle is normally passed through the lesion several times to make sure enough tissue is obtained.
- For lung or liver lesions, a CT scan may be used as the imaging technique to locate the area. Similar to X-rays, CT scans help create a 3-D image for the radiologist to locate the abnormality.
- After the tissue is collected, the sample is placed onto a glass slide for a pathologist to evaluate. A pathologist is a doctor that specializes in looking at tissues under the microscope. After the pathologist has established a diagnosis, a report is generated for your doctor.
- The actual insertion of the needle takes only a few minutes and the whole procedure can take 30 minutes to an hour.
- Similar to any biopsy, the most important risk associated with a stereotactic biopsy is bleeding. Generally, there is very little bleeding associated with the procedure, although rarely, a hematoma, or a pocket of blood, will collect at the site of the biopsy. This can be slightly uncomfortable but should resolve over the next few days. If there is severe pain following the procedure, you should contact your doctor immediately.
- Additionally, there is always a risk of infection and you should call your doctor if you develop fevers or the area becomes red / inflamed. If you undergo a stereotactic lung biopsy, there is a risk of collapse of the lung, which your doctor will look for after the procedure is done.
How do I prepare for a stereotactic biopsy?
- Frequently, no preparation is needed; however, if you are on blood thinners, your doctor will likely have you stop them several days in advance. This should be discussed when the biopsy is scheduled.
How do I interpret the results of a pathology report?
- Following the biopsy, the tissue sample is processed by a pathologist. A preliminary report may be given to the doctor; however, the final report generally takes several days.
- The report generally states the patient's name, date of birth, site of biopsy, and indication (reason for the test) at the top of the report. Pathology reports follow a standard outline, regardless where they are obtained. The findings are discussed in a very systematic approach. For this reason, it is very important to discuss the results with your doctor.
- The first paragraph typically reports the final diagnosis. This is a summary of the findings, often generated to answer the question posed by the ordering physician. If the biopsy is obtained for oncologic purposes, it commonly will state the findings are benign (not cancer), malignant (cancer), or unable to be determined.
- The following paragraphs generally include the specific technical information involved in obtaining and processing of the sample. The details of the diagnosis can also be found here. Because reports are generated for other medical professionals, the terminology is often medically oriented and can be difficult to interpret.
- You may want to ask for a copy of the report for your records, but you should ask your healthcare provider to review the results with you.

What's the first thing you do when waking in the morning? Turn on the lights? Brush your teeth? Or maybe fire up your laptop to check the morning's emails? Much of the activity we perform is tied to a web of interconnected systems that allow us to function throughout our day. But what happens when systems critical to our daily living stop working? An example is noticeable on the East Coast, where many of our fellow students and faculty recently dealt with the effects of the havoc wreaked by Hurricane Sandy and hazardous winter conditions.
Interested in adding a Project Manager Professional (PMP) designation to your career toolkit? Recently, I reached out to PMP and friend, Fahad Usmani, to gain his insight on the PMP certification process.
LinkedIn recommendations will never replace a traditional reference check, but they certainly can't hurt. They can speak to your credibility, while giving your LinkedIn profile a boost. While recommendations are important, it's important not to overdo it. Quantity matters less than quality in many cases.
In my 12 years as a writing instructor, I recognize the negative feelings people have toward writing. I see the anxiety students have at the thought of putting proverbial pen to paper. Some are even adamant that they'll never need writing skills for their chosen profession. Yet it's hard to dispute that we live in a time more dependent on writing than ever before. Ultimately, effective writing depends on how well you analyze and address your audience.
The best leaders are also great visionaries. Being a visionary is not just about having great dreams. It's about having the passion to transform those dreams into reality.
Virtually all government and business databases and operations are digitized. Most are linked through communications networks, with many accessible via the Internet. Since information, from national security secrets to trade secrets and daily business operations, is housed in computers and their networks, it's not surprising that cyberattacks are a major threat to the cyberworld. Within cyberspace, attacks motivated by criminals, hostile governments, terrorists, ex-employees with grudges and hackers have become an epidemic problem.
For data to truly be an asset, there must be processes, procedures, systems and ownership that insure the accuracy, integrity and timeliness of the data. If data does not have these attributes and capabilities, then why should we be concerned with protecting it? This reveals an obvious front-end requirement of the spectrum of data protection.
In previous blogs, we looked at how criminals are using social media and what they're doing with the information they find online. We also discussed how law enforcement uses social media to track and ultimately prosecute criminals. Now let's look at how social media is impacting the courtroom.
Most people share their challenges, yet few give as much attention to their success. Of course, we can grow and learn from challenges, but there is just as much growth and learning available when we examine our success.
Research shows that it takes a fraction of a second for someone to form a first impression of you, and often that impression is accurate. When you settle on that bit of knowledge, it's unnerving. What if the impression you're leaving behind isn't the one you intended?
Hands down, cloud technology is changing the IT landscape whether we're ready for it or not. The cloud offers businesses and their IT functions greater flexibility and at a more cost-effective rate, so we can expect this trend to become a mainstay, especially in health care related businesses.
The CTU Distinguished Lecturer Series continued with Dr. Ingo Böbel, a published author and scholar who has had a profound impact on industrial organization research.
Recently, National Defense Magazine (NDM) published a report on the top five threats to national security.
In the early 2000s, the scandals at Enron, Arthur Anderson and WorldCom caused leading enterprises and places of higher learning to have more prominent discussions about business ethics. The late-2008 global economic meltdown added more names to the list of once reputable companies that have now become infamous: Washington Mutual and Lehman Brothers.
Prior to my career in higher education, I consulted with organizations on how to effectively use emerging media to achieve strategic goals. One client was an intermediate school district. I recall conversations with the district's curriculum consultants about how experts knew (and preached) the value of innovation in teaching and learning, but failed to actually put it into practice.

The summer continued to be far cooler and wetter compared to last summer's record-breaking conditions. Since July, temperatures have been cooler than normal, while precipitation has been higher than normal, except in the south (Middlesex and Lambton Counties) and east. Regular, and sometimes abundant, precipitation has resulted in brood-rearing wetlands retaining water.
Lakes Superior, St. Clair, Erie and Ontario remain fairly close to long-term levels, and are predicted to remain near normal over the next several months. Lake Michigan and Georgian Bay remain nearly 40 cm below the long-term average but are predicted to recover slightly over the next two months. Negative impacts to wetland areas on Georgian Bay continue due to this prolonged period of low water.
Wetlands continue to remain in good condition overall. Waterfowl brood numbers and sizes reflect this, as development chronology has been normal through the end of the brood-rearing period.

Young runners learning the 'big picture': College Football 2013
Published: Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 12:48 a.m.
It's a young running back group this year for the University of Alabama, with the veteran of the group a wise old sophomore.
Second-year back T.J. Yeldon has a quartet of freshman runners behind him while Kenyan Drake has a year's experience, Jalston Fowler splits time between H-back and tailback and Dee Hart returns from a knee injury. It would be an accomplishment for any of the freshman backs to equal what Yeldon did in his first season as the backup to Eddie Lacy when he set a school standard for rookie runners with 1,108 rushing yards and tied a school record for freshman running touchdowns with 12.
Replacing Lacy will be a tricky feat, too, but the raw talent is there, just inexperienced.
"The running back position, obviously, we're in a situation where we've got a lot of young players who just came in and they're learning the system," UA offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier said.
Those young backs are Derrick Henry (6-foot-3, 238 pounds), Altee Tenpenny (6-0, 207 pounds), Tyren Jones (5-9, 215 pounds) and Alvin Kamara (5-10, 195 pounds).
"So that's the biggest thing is to teach them once again the big picture — how you get lined up, what kind of stance, what kind of footwork," Nussmeier said. "Everybody focuses on the running back position about what the player does with the ball in their hands. There's so much more to it. You start talking about protection-type things. What we see from our defense every day, the complexity of blitzes and those type of things, it's very important that those guys grow in that area.
"Very, very pleased with the depth that we have there, really good players. Jalston Fowler, you know he missed most of last season. Dee Hart coming back off of injury. Kenyan Drake returning. And then we talked about Derrick and the young guys that are coming in. So we've got a lot of depth there. Really good to have competition at any position. We're excited about what those guys will do in the next couple of weeks moving forward."
As the default leader of the group, Yeldon sets a standard by his play on the field. He's embraced the challenge.
"Most of them are just leaning on me, seeing what I do out there," Yeldon said. "It's my job to pick them up when they're having a bad day, because they're not going to have a good day every day. And just helping them with the plays and blocking protections. Every guy is different. They have different running abilities. All of them are looking pretty good."
One of the youngsters will need to develop into a dependable back to give UA the two-running back attack it's had under coach Nick Saban.
"I'm just hoping to see if Coach can find a guy that can run behind me like Eddie did, and like I did for Eddie," Yeldon said. "I'm looking for what or who else can — one, two, three or whoever else out there can run the ball."

Video: RNC finance chair blasts Detroit voters
DETROIT (AP) — The finance chair for the Republican National Committee told a Michigan tea party gathering this summer that Detroit's plummeting population and lack of a mayoral machine to get voters "to stop playing pool and drinking beer in the pool hall" has decreased its influence in elections. Ronald Weiser, Republican National Committee Ron Weiser's comments were secretly videotaped Aug. 9 by a Democrat shadowing a Republican congressional candidate. The Detroit Free Press obtained the video from the Michigan Democratic Party and reported (http://on.freep.com/ZaRArP) on it Sunday.

AMES, Iowa (October 26, 2012)-Republican Mitt Romney made amounts to an economic closing argument for his presidential campaign Friday.
Speaking to supporters in Iowa, the Republican candidate called for "bold changes" to help revive the economy and pledged to work with what he calls "good Democrats" to make it happen.
Romney did not offer specific plans or answer lingering questions about his economic policies, such as how he would pay for his tax plan or replace the president's health care law, but he did criticize President Barack Obama, saying the president has no proposals to meet "the challenges of the times."
He dismissed the president's signature legislative achievement as "his vaunted Obamacare" and said he would instead focus on saving Medicare and Social Security.
Romney also repeated many of his standard campaign themes, including his signature refrain that America can't afford another four years like the last four years.

Roger defends his title!
It is real – Roger overcame an inspired Fernando Gonzalez to win the Australian Open finals 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4 capturing his 10th Grand Slam title! 15'400 spectators in Rod Laver Arena experienced a haunting Grand Slam final between our champion and a very agile and aggressive playing Gonzalez. But Roger once again showed his brilliance and is the first to win a title on a major tournament without dropping a set since Bjorn Borg in 1980. He now has been undefeated for the last 36 official matches, which is a personal record.
Roger, who was rather nervous at the beginning, struggled with windy conditions and was about to drop the first set when Gonzalez had two set points at own serve. In this crucial moment, Roger was able to turn the tide and broke Gonzalez to 6-6, forcing him into tiebreak. Roger rebounded quickly and showed his concentration and dominance prevailing the opening set 7-6 (2).
It then was about who would make fewer mistakes and the advantage went to Roger, who controlled the match thenceforward. Gonzalez committed nine more unforced errors than Roger and three times he double-faulted.
Keeping his service game consistent, Roger delivered winners 82 percent of the time on his first serve while his second serve resulted in winners an impressive 76 percent of the time.
"I'm happy that I was able to win the match in straight sets, although spectators sometimes wish to see a match over five sets." Roger said. "Fighting off Gonzalez' set points and dominating in the tiebreak was deciding for the match. Gonzalez played different today so it was kind of difficult to read his game at the beginning. But then I new Gonzalez would have to react after the first set and that's how I got back at control."
Roger improved his career record to 10-0 against Gonzalez but clearly this was the most difficult victory. Our champion was coming off a 6-4, 6-0, 6-2 dismantling of Andy Roddick and facing an opponent who had never played in a Grand Slam semifinals match much less a finals before play began at the 2007 Australian Open. It took him two hours and twenty minutes to finally shake the ninth ranked Gonzalez and capture the Australian Open Championship. The victory pushed Roger's all time record in Grand Slam final's events to 10-1.
So cool
i love you
You are special.
Thanks for the wonderful ride through the pasion and magic of your game!!
God Bless You

Omelettes And Preventing Breakfast Boredom
For the past six or seven years I've tried to stick to a breakfast that consists mainly of protein. It keeps me fuller longer than one filled with carbs, even if those are good carbs, such as oatmeal. My body just seems to do better when I eat this way. So most mornings I make myself an Egg Beater omelette. So quick and so easy. Spray pan with cooking spray. Dump in Egg Beaters. Season with salt and pepper. Let eggs sit for a minute or two and then push them around and flip them. Done. Breakfast made and eaten in under 10 minutes. (Do you see now why I get frustrated with people who claim they don't have time for breakfast?)
Now let's talk about breakfast boredom and how to avoid it. Take the above Egg Beater omelette for example. Eating that day in and day out is going to get tiring very quickly so we have to find ways to make it more interesting without adding too much additional time to the preparation. I've become very creative in making my omelettes tastier and even more nutritious by the use of leftovers as toppings.
The omelette shown above is topped with the leftover black bean and avocado relish I made for the grilled mahi mahi we had earlier in the week. After I plated the eggs, I tossed on some of the relish and a sprinkling of Monterey jack cheese and microwaved it for 20- 30 seconds, and then sprinkled on a few diced tomatoes.
Last week my omelette toppings were leftover caramelized onions and sauteed baby spinach and the week before I used leftover refried beans and pepperjack cheese. I've even been known to top my eggs with chili and cheddar cheese or leftover oven roasted veggies.
My point is (and you know how I like to drive a point home) that a simple and healthy breakfast doesn't need to take a lot of time or require a lot of ingredients. Just look in your own fridge. I'm sure you've got omelette toppings in there that you weren't even aware of..... until now!

I eat granola, every day, day in and day out. Your omelette looks amazing. I seriously need to vary my breakfast game plan.

I'm with you Mags - I like a little variety too, though I have to admit I'm one of those people who don't eat breakfast every day. I do make sure the big guy has a hot breakfast before he leaves the house...I just never get hungry till 10 or so, then it's almost lunch. This omelette could very well change my mind though!

That is one gorgeous omelette! I eat Meusli or cheerios 'cause I'm just not a breakfast person unless someone wants to make it for me or I can order room service.
I meant to leave a comment on yesterday's post but got caught up in reading all your posts I missed. Congrats on that precious grandbaby!

Yes, omelettes make a fantastic quick breakfast and are a great way to use up leftovers. I'm always throwing random stuff in my omelettes and they (almost) always turn out good. Your combo sounds delicious.

Thanks goodness! Now I can sleep better knowing what you have for breakfast. Might I say, it looks delicious!! I, too, am an early riser. I usually look at my blog (and a hundred or so others) while I eat and sip coffee. It's like having breakfast with a lot of interesting friends.

I agree... a breakfast like this is an easy, healthy meal and doesn't have to be boring. This is kind of the way I make burritos... an egg and whatever else is in the fridge!

so when you sleep in, what time are we talking. If I make it to 630 it is a miracle.
I'm a yogurt, muesli, banana person, except on the weekends.

Definitely no breakfast boredom for you! I love eggs and have the opportunity each week to get them fresh from a co-worker. All I can say, wow fresh eggs taste delicious. There is a lot egg consumption in our house and your breakfast omlette is a reminder.
Your dish is a great healthy alternative using egg beaters.

Umarex/Maruzen Walther P99 Gas Blow Back Airsoft Pistol
$ 75.99

Umarex/Maruzen Walther P99 Gas Blow Back Airsoft Pistol - Quantity:

- Efficient, well-made, good ergonomics On propane the Maruzen/Umarex P99 behaves erratically: the slide action is occasionally unable to cock the gun. The pistol would not consistently lock the slide back upon emptying the mag as well. However, recoil and accuracy are as expected of a Japanese gbb on propane.
On HFC-152a (gas duster) the pistol performs flawlessly: each shot cycles the slide back properly to consistently cock the gun. Accuracy is on par with my propane- powered TM Hi Capa 4.3. There is less pronounced kick or recoil, but the action is still crisp and smooth. Slide locks back on empty mag consistently as well.
Exterior finish and details are executed very well. The plastic slide should not pose much of a concern as there are metal rails within the slide. On duster gas the pistol goes thru 3 mags of .20 bbs. Overall, excellent value for this price ($159.99).
- Truly outstandingI have only ever used this pistol on propane, so these are the results I have had with it. I will probably update later on with my results on Duster.
This is easily the most comfortable handgun ever made (the real-steel version I mean). The ergonomics are outstanding, and you could shoot it all day. The airsoft version is no different. The sights are great, and it feels excellent in your hand.
Once you get to shooting:
I would agree that on propane it behaves erratically at times. The kick is sometimes too strong for the slide release to catch the slide, so pay attention when you're shooting, or you may find yourself shooting air instead of bb's.
On propane, this thing kicks like a mule on speed. It feels outstanding. It's also very loud and intimidating, which is a plus when you're shooting the neighborhood kids in a war, but in a proper airsoft game you may want something a little quieter.
It took me a long time to dial in the hop-up, and once I got it down it still took about 100 rounds to steady up. DO NOT LOSE THE HOP-UP ADJUSTMENT SCREW. I did, and it took me three weeks to get a replacement from Umarex. I love the guys, but they don't have the most knowledgeable service department.
A note on durability:
I've been using propane, and as I said, it doesn't always lock the slide. The slide-release has been going up partially while the slide is trying to lock, but it rebounds too soon. As a result, the cut-out on the slide where the slide-release catches has become slightly worn. This has no performance related issue, but it does mean that when there is no empty magazine in the gun, and the slide is locked, it only takes a slight movement to make the slide go forward again. This isn't a problem, so much as a very minor inconvenience, and was bound to happen sometime as the gun is made of plastic.
Feels truly amazing
Shoots very well
Looks incredible
Makes you feel like James Bond
Kicks like a mule
Good capacity
Very efficient (1 or 2 full mags, certainly 1 on a propane fill)
Extended magazines are available if you know where to look
Plastic, although still hefty
Umarex doesn't have awesome service
only a 60 day warranty
To adjust hop-up the gun must be taken down. This can become tedious while you dial it in.
Magazines are outrageously expensive
Definitely worth having for the player or collector.
- Great back up weaponthis gun is great! It's quick accurate and has a satisfying pop behind each shot. I've actually been able to use this as a small varmint gun thats how well it handles
- Great GunLove this gun achieves great groupings as well as accuracy at appropriate ranges the hop is tricky and would recommend turning it up relatively high and would also recommend getting a duster gas adapter though much easier and cheaper since the metal slide is impossible to find and be careful with the slide because i dropped mine from like 5 feet and the back sight smashed but besides that the gun was fine so even though its abs polymer, the gun is solid and as long as you keep it oiled, its fine on propane too

Grant Bosse: Legislature shouldn't pick sides in fight between auto dealers, makers
Ever since Henry Ford decided to distribute the Model T through a chain of independent dealers instead of selling it directly to his customers, car dealers have been fighting the factory. And they've grown increasingly effective in getting state governments to fight that battle for them.

Welcome to the Episcopal Diocese of California
Since 1849, we have been a diocese filled with passionate, talented, committed people — seekers, innovators, and people who serve. In our past 160 years, Diocese of California Episcopalians have founded a hospital, hosted the first Head Start program in the country, provided more supportive housing for the homeless in San Francisco than any others, birthed Interfaith Power and Light, pioneered the return of the Peace in the Eucharistic service, re-introduced the Great Vigil of Easter into central liturgies of the Episcopal worship, and more recently brought forth the modern Labyrinth Movement, and the practices of the Open Table and Ashes to Go.
A Christian community of some 27,000 Episcopalians covering most of the San Francisco Bay Area and a large part of Silicon Valley, our diocese is focused on becoming and being the Beloved Community, an evocative and mystery-filled phrase popularized by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Fellowship of Reconciliation. For over five years we have put a strong focus on revitalizing the Church, and living into the values we associate with the Beloved Community, such as embodied justice and rooted spirituality.

20 YEARS LATER (by Spauldazzio)
It seemed innocent enough. By the fall of 1994 I had been to dozens of concerts, so driving 100 miles south to Louisville was no big deal. What was a big deal was that unbeknownst to me my music and life trajectory was about to take a major turn.
You see, the 80s were fraught with big hair, spandex, and loads of makeup. And thats just the men. However, thanks to my two older brothers and a really cool neighbor bands like REM, U2, The Cure, and the Talking Heads had managed to find their way into my cassette player. As enjoyable as those bands were, they werent mine. They belonged to my brothers generation.
When the 90s started to take off I began identifying with a newer crop of artists. Ritual de lo Habitual was released in August of 1990. The first time I heard the words, At this moment you should be with us, all the big hair of the 80s blew away in the breeze of Perry Farrell's voice. These songs werent about cherry pie or roses and thorns. They were a visceral attacks on my senses. THIS was art and I was so happy to have finally found it. The momentum of music from that point on is well documented, so theres no need to rehash it here. However, by the time we approached the mid-90s things began to get pretty dark. Janes Addiction had broken up, Kurt Cobain decided eating a shotgun was better than being married to Courtney Love and NINs love song, Closer was rising up the charts.
None of this jived with me. I was happy-go-lucky, didnt take things too seriously. But I still loved to rock. All this gloom and doom was bringing me down. What was everyone so angry about?
So when I found myself on 4th Street, weaving my way through a drum circle, passing a guy selling veggie burritos, and entering into the stunning Palace Theater that night, I knew something was different. These people seemed happy.
The music was in a word, confusing. Rock, bluegrass, funk, and at some point the drummer played a vacuum. They covered a Boston tune and closed the show with a song they had already played earlier in the evening (I was later to learn this is called a Reprise). Although baffled by the music I knew one thing. I had to see it again. This was a celebration of ALL music styles and a celebration of life. I was hooked.
Little did I know the adventures that awaited me and the friendships that I would make. And as much fun as the music and the adventures are its the friendships I cherish the most. Thanks to each and everyone of you for being a companion on this ride.
