A grungy bathroom is not only unpleasant to look at, it's also a breeding ground for germs, mold and mildew. Here are 12 tips to help keep the bathroom clean and sparkling on a daily basis. For a family with members with asthma, many of these best practices will help keep mold and mildew — which can trigger an asthma or allergy attack —under control.
1. Use the bathroom fan: It can help remove the moisture that causes mold and mildew. Vacuum the vents regularly to remove any dust that might inhibit the fan's effectiveness.
Attention, men
Have a happy Father's Day.

Foods containing antioxidants can boost a person's immunity and go a long way in preventing disease.
Antioxidants are vitamins, minerals and other compounds in food that protect cells in the body from damage by compounds called free radicals. Free radicals occur naturally when the body breaks down food or when it is exposed to tobacco smoke or radiation. Free radicals may play a role in heart disease, cancer, and other diseases.
Dealing with dead animals is a reality for any livestock owner. There have been laws on the books for years as far as how to dispose of them, but for the most part, they've been somewhat impractical and very expensive for the small farmer who had an animal die on their farm.
Because of this, many farmers have been dragging dead animals to an out-of-the-way place on the farm and letting the buzzards and coyotes dispose of the carcass.

Every year I write about mulch but no ones seems to care. Mounds of mulch still choke the trunks of trees everywhere you look this time of the year. Trees in landscapes look like telephone poles sticking out of soon-to-be-crusted-over black mulch. How's that for a foreboding tale. Here's the message, too much mulch is a bad thing. I know, some people have been liberated but we still have some more work to do. The bottom line: 2 inches of coarse mulch that is not piled around the trunk of the tree or shrub is the desired goal.

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
Couldn't believe my luck!
As some may know, i was almost sent to the knackers yard as far as employment goes a scant year and a half ago. I had to relocate if i wanted a job similar to the one I had (and with wages on par). So move I did!
So here I am in Maryland (county of Baltimore), home of lacrosse, grid iron football (Ravens) and baseball (Orioles). So who decides to come visiting for a summer friendly...playing our beautiful brand of football in a city that doesn't even know what the MLS is much less Premier League...yes, that's right, our beloved Spurs! And we get to play decent opposition (and yes, I know its a friendly, pre-season trot about but damn it, I'm excited! I'm also a bit worried about the turnout. Wondering if the NY Spurs will make the trip down (about 4 hours by car, 2 by train) as I doubt that there's any sizable contingent locally (although one of the staff from my company's client is going...as a Spurs fan!).
So the match is against L'pool and its in the Ravens' stadium which holds upwards of 70,000...even 20, 000 ill look pitiful in that place (unlike 20, 000 in Red Bulls arena - a few days later...I think their ground holds no more than 25K (great atmosphere the last time our boys came there...the team will look very different this time around!).
Hope all are having a good summer (getting away from all that rain...while we get our nuts roasted in triple digit F temperatures...not this this week though, cooling off to the upper 80's!). As always, 'scuse the rambling.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Jump down the list, Fab and answer from me you blinked at.
raining here....still!
baltimore, isnt that where the wire is set?
im way behind, just finished watching the 1st series.
its very good. looks very rough, but im sure there are rich nice areas too.
who cares if its friendly, u get to see spurs play.
also, our under armour kit is out soon, is that brand big in america?
so what do u think of the east side compared to the west side rambro?

Yo 'SB'!!!
Tell Omar from Fab that smoking is a terrible habit and extremely bad for ones health, and that he really should give it up.
Whoops! forgot to answer some of your questions.
Baltimore...it is a bit of a rough place; what made The Wire so good was its realism (scary huh!). East West North South, all areas are touched by some the madness (I will say this, they had their lowest murder total since the 70's last year...I also heard from a local, that they fiddle with the crime stats too...so, who knows).
Like any other city there are good parts and bad parts. I work downtown near the Inner Harbor (toruist area), most of the "not-so-good action happens in various pockets of the city, but there are some pretty cool areas too (I lived in one for 8 months, but ended up moving to the 'burbs as I like my peace and quiet).
The medical profession rules in Baltimore (Johns Hopkins Hospital and College are here...not sure if you're familiar with it...world reknowned, or so I'm told...met a few Brits that go there).
The locals are passionate about their sports teams (moreso than anywhere else I've been over here).
The one thing I'll say is...it is NOT New York (but then aagain, where is?)...but all in all, its cool.
Ahhh, rained on my parade there SB, there I was thinking that I was just a lucky so and so! Under Armour are a Baltimore based corporation! Doh! (The young lad that owns them is a multi-millionaire, if not a billionaire).
Anyway, luck or corporate planning, I get to see Spurs play again YAY!

TUCSON, Ariz. -- Stanford found out quickly Sunday why Arizona has been unbeatable this season at McKale Center.
The No. 3 Wildcats scored the first points of the game and cruised to a 79-66 victory to complete an 18-0 home season and clinch the Pac-12 regular season championship.
Sunday's result was in stark contrast to the teams' first meeting, when Arizona escaped with a 60-57 win in January at Maples Pavilion.
"They're playing very well right now," Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins said of the Wildcats. "They're playing at a very high level. They're playing with a lot of confidence."
Freshman Aaron Gordon, playing in what likely was his last home game for Arizona, scored 19 points and grabbed a career-high 15 rebounds. Gordon, a former Archbishop Mitty-San Jose star, is expected to declare for the NBA draft after this season.
"It feels good," Gordon said of the Pac-12 title, "but it's not the final stop on our destination."
Stanford (18-10, 9-7) trailed 41-28 at halftime and shot just 36 percent (9 for 25) from the field in the game's first 20 minutes. The Wildcats (27-2, 14-2) used a 25-11 run in the second half to increase their lead to 25 at 68-43. The Cardinal chipped away at the lead the last nine minutes but never got it to single digits.
"They have experienced players out there with (T.J.) McConnell and (Nick) Johnson, who have been through a lot and know how to play with a lead," Dawkins said. "They're poised, they don't rush, they get good shots, and they've been an outstanding defensive team all year."
McConnell scored 14 points, Gabe York 12, Johnson 11 and Kaleb Tarczewski 10 for Arizona. Josh Huestis had 22 points and 12 rebounds to lead Stanford. Anthony Brown added 14 points, and Chasson Randle and Dwight Powell had 12 apiece for the Cardinal.
The loss was the second straight double-digit loss for Stanford after having won three in a row, including a nine-point win over UCLA on Feb. 22.
"We came off a good game against UCLA, but we came down to Arizona and struggled," Huestis said. "I have no doubt that when we go home and get back in the gym, we will find a way to get back on track."
Dawkins said Huestis "did a great job rebounding and scoring for us. I was really proud of his effort."
Huestis was the only Cardinal to have success around the rim. Powell and Stefan Nastic combined to go 4 for 20 from the floor. Nastic played just 13 minutes before fouling out. All total, Arizona outrebounded Stanford 40-31.
"Our guys tried to make plays defensively," Dawkins said. "Those guys are just really quick. They beat us to 50-50 balls. They hurt us with offensive rebounds. They're a big, physical team."
After the game, the Wildcats were presented the Pac-12 championship trophy and cut down the net. When Gordon got his turn, the crowd chanted "three more years!" With Johnson, a junior, it was "one more year!"

of State Beth Chapman has filed an emergency rule today to extend the deadline
for applying for an absentee ballot for members of our military and National
Guard who may be deployed in response to superstorm Sandy.
soldiers put the protection of others before their own lives and it is the
least that we can do to ensure they have time to cast their ballots in this
election. The law gives me that ability; so we are moving forward with
giving extra time where we can for the military voters serving those devastated
areas in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic." Secretary Chapman said.
law only extends to military and overseas voters and not private citizens who
may also be responding to the storm this week. "It is unfortunate that we
cannot do this for every responder to this natural disaster, however, we must
follow what the law allows at this point." Secretary Chapman explained.
those individuals voting pursuant to the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens
Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) who have been ordered to go outside the State of
Alabama to assist with natural disaster relief related to Hurricane Sandy, the
deadline for receipt of an absentee ballot application is extended to Monday,
November 5, 2012. Because of the close proximity to Election Day,
the UOCAVA voters can fax or email those requests to their local absentee
election manager. Those voters must request electronic transmission of
the absentee ballot and provide an email address.
voted ballots must be postmarked by November 6th and the counties
will be able to receive those ballots to be counted until November 16th.
urge all military members deployed to serve the storm victims to act quickly
and request a ballot immediately," Secretary Chapman said.
a voter serving in the military who has been deployed to work with the victims
of Storm Sandy has a question about this extension or how it may apply to them,
they can contact the absentee election manager in their county or the
Secretary of State's office. Contact numbers and information can be found
by visiting www.alabamavotes.gov or by calling

Water-related Diseases
The disease and how it affects people
Trachoma is an infection of the eyes that may result in blindness after repeated re-infections. It is the world's leading cause of preventable blindness and occurs where people live in overcrowded conditions with limited access to water and health care. Trachoma spreads easily from person to person and is frequently passed from child to child and from child to mother within the family.
Infection usually first occurs in childhood but people do not became blind until adulthood. The disease progresses over years as repeated infections cause scarring on the inside of the eyelid, earning it the name of the "quiet disease" The eyelashes eventually turn in. This causes rubbing on the cornea at the front of the eye. The cornea becomes scarred leading to severe vision loss and eventually blindness.
The cause
Trachoma is caused by an organism called Chlamydia trachomatis. Through the discharge from an infected child's eyes, trachoma is passed on by hands, on clothing, or by flies that land on the face of the infected child.
Trachoma occurs worldwide and most often in poor rural communities in developing countries. Blinding trachoma is widespread in the Middle East, North and Sub-Sahara Africa, parts of the Indian subcontinent, Southern Asia and China. Pockets of blinding trachoma occur in Latin America, Australia (among native Australians) and the Pacific Islands.
Scope of the Problem
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that six million worldwide are blind due to trachoma and more than 150 million people are in need of treatment.
Primary interventions advocated for preventing trachoma infection include improved sanitation, reduction of fly breeding sites and increased facial cleanliness (with clean water) among children at risk of disease. The scaring and visual change for trachoma can be reversed by a simple surgical procedure performed at village level which reverses the inturned eyelashes.
Good personal and environmental hygiene has been proven to be successful in combating trachoma. Encouraging the washing of children's faces, improved access to water, and proper disposal of human and animal waste has been shown to decrease the number of trachoma infections in communities.
Global Alliance for the Elimination of Trachoma by the year 2020 (GET 2020)
The WHO along with an alliance of interested parties has adopted the "SAFE" strategy to combat trachoma. The four components of the strategy include:
- Surgery
- Antibiotic treatment (Tetracycline eye ointment new antibiotic, azithromycin has been tested in a number of countries and initial results are very promising
- Facial cleanliness
- Environmental changes.

RICHMOND -- The city's battle against blight brought heavy equipment into the Iron Triangle on Thursday morning.
Code Enforcement workers and a private contractor used an excavator and dump trucks to smash and haul away a 104-year-old vacant house that had become an eyesore and public safety hazard.
"This structure had to come down," Richmond Code Enforcement Director Tim Higares said. "It's been a hazard here for years, and there are others we are going to take down, too."
The house, at the corner of Second Street and Chanslor Avenue, was abandoned when the owners walked away from their mortgage in 2008, Higares said. It caught fire twice, probably torched by transients.
The blackened siding and rotted wood crumbled easily against the excavator's steel claw.
The city hired Peninsula Hauling and Demolition of San Carlos to take down the structure, and Code Enforcement workers hauled off the rubble. The operation cost about $20,000, Higares said, and will be paid for by Wells Fargo, the holder of the defaulted mortgage.
Higares said the city is in the process of condemning and gaining clearance to demolish four other abandoned homes in the city, including houses in the Iron Triangle, North Richmond and Parchester Village.
But Thursday's demolition, the city's first since at least 2008, Higares said, represents the latest efforts by Code Enforcement to crack down on blight and unattended, unkempt properties.
"We come after properties like this," said Trisha Aljoe, the city prosecutor. "Blight is a health and safety hazard and affects property values. Addressing this is what we do."
Higares said neighbors were "overjoyed" when informed that the house at 127 Chanslor would be demolished. No neighbors were seen watching the early morning demolition.
A picture of the demolition posted on Facebook on Thursday prompted Richmond resident Christian Wimmer to write, "Glad to finally see that burnt out house come down."
Not everyone is pleased with Code Enforcement's aggressive efforts.
"This department is going a little crazy," said Councilman Corky Boozé, who is in his own dispute with the department over an auto storage yard he operates. "They have all the money and all the attorneys, and they are pushing property owners around. In the end, what they did today just gives us another vacant lot."
Higares said a vacant lot is also a "nuisance" but expressed hope that new construction would occur.
Code Enforcement Officer Eva Mann said there are about 70 abandoned houses in the Iron Triangle section of Richmond in various states of dilapidation.

At Colt's Connecticut factory, no apologies for arming America
West Hartford, Connecticut (CNN) -- The sign at the door of the Colt factory displays a gun with a slash through it: 'No loaded or unauthorized firearms beyond this point.' Understandable for workers at a plant, but also a bit ironic, considering one of the largest arsenals in America lies just beyond.

Pentagon to Stop Buying Russian-Made Helicopters
The Pentagon will end a deal to buy Russian helicopters from Moscow's arms export company, according to Congressional officials.
Members of Congress and human rights groups have pushed the Pentagon to halt the deal to buy Mi-17 helicopters from Rosoboronexport, the state-backed export firm which has sold weapons to Syria.
The military had been reluctant to end the deal, believing the helicopters are critical for the Afghan air force, particularly as the U.S. is reducing the size of its presence in Afghanistan.
Sen. John Cornyn (R., Texas), who has helped lead opposition to the deal, was briefed on the decision by Pentagon officials on Tuesday, officials said.
"Doing business with the supplier of these helicopters has been a morally bankrupt policy, and as a nation, we should no longer be subsidizing Assad's war crimes," Sen Cornyn said in a statement.
Human Rights First, an advocacy group, has issued a series of reports attacking the deal, saying the Pentagon was overpaying for the helicopters and was undermining the U.S. government's position on Syria.
" If we cannot win U.N. sanctions against politically well-defended war criminals like Assad, if we do not want to use military force in Syria, then it's all the more important that we redouble our efforts to disrupt the supply chains of war, to call out the governments and companies and other actors that are enabling the killing," said Sonni Efron, a senior fellow with Human Rights First.

If you want to create a super-special cake, but think you don't have the skill, think again. We'll make you a pastry chef in no time.
Weekdays on Nick Jr.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour an 8-inch-round and an 8-inch-square cake pan. Prepare the cake mix according to package directions. Fold the mini chips into the cake mix. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake the cakes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer the pans to a wire rack. Cool for ten minutes; then invert and cool the cakes completely.
In the meantime, unwrap yellow fruit chews and heat them in the microwave for five seconds to soften. Roll together all but one piece, making a 4- by 7-inch rectangle. This will be Map. Cut the remaining piece in half diagonally for Backpack's eyebrows and set it aside.
Make eyes by cutting the white taffy into two sizes, 1 1/2 inches and 3/4 inch. Cut the red taffy into a 3-inch crescent and a 1-inch triangle for Backpack's and Map's mouths. Set aside.
Spoon two teaspoons of the white frosting into a resealable plastic bag and set it aside. Divide the remaining frosting into thirds. Tint each bowl a different shade of purple; from light to dark. Spoon the darkest purple into a resealable plastic bag.
Cut the round cake in half, making two semicircles. Cut out a 2 1/2-inch-wide strip from the square cake. Place the large cake rectangle in the center of a cake platter so the long sides are at the top and bottom. Place one semicircle on either long side of the rectangle with their cut sides facing in. The top semicircle should overhang the right side of the rectangle by 1 1/2 inches. The bottom semicircle should overhang to the left by 1 1/2 inches.
Using a bit of the medium-purple frosting, attach the two cream-filled cakes along the left side of the cake. Make Map by rolling the yellow candy rectangle around the top snack cake, letting some overhang at the top.
Cut the leftover rectangle of cake into a 4-inch and a 2-inch piece. Place the smaller piece at the top of the cake so it fills in the gap between Backpack and Map and helps support Map. Place the longer rectangle at an angle by the upper-left corner of the cake, to make the shoulder strap. Trim the pieces slightly to round the cake's corners.
Using the photo above for reference, frost the part of the cake that will be Backpack's face with the lightest purple frosting. Frost the snack cakes, Backpack's top, the shoulder strap, and the sides of the entire cake with the medium-purple frosting. Snip a small corner from the bag of dark-purple frosting and pipe along the sides of the cake using a top-to-bottom, zigzagging motion.
Trim and attach the licorice as a strap. Place the eyes, eyebrows, and mouths on the cake and on Map. Use the candy-coated chocolates as the center of the eyes. Spoon chocolate frosting into a resealable plastic bag. Pipe chocolate lines around the eyes, mouths, and around Map use chocolate frosting to write a birthday greeting.

When the wrestling season begins this year, the Quad County wrestlers will be taking to the mat to represent Yellow Medicine East, MACCRAY and Renville County West.
The school boards of the respective schools approved the agreement for cooperative sponsorship of wrestling at Monday nights' meetings. The concept of a cooperative wrestling program has been on the drawing board since last wrestling season. Last spring YME head coach Dave Wingert told the school board that declining enrollment was going to make a negative impact on the sport within the next couple of years.
He explained that districts were beginning to enter into cooperative agreements and there was interest from MACCRAY and RCW to enter into an agreement with YME. He indicated that if YME waited to make an agreement, "we could be left out in the cold."
The agreement itself identifies YME as the host district for the cooperative. The majority of expenses for the program will be split three ways except transportation to practice and costs of "home" matches. Transportation expenses to and from practices will be the responsibility of MACCRAY and RCW districts, with each district responsible for transporting their student athletes to YME for practices.
When MACCRAY, RCW, or YME host a "home" match, the host district is responsible for payment of referees and other personnel necessary to stage the event. The host district is also responsible for the provision of concessions. The host will keep the gate for the event and concession revenues are not covered under the provision of the agreement. Host districts are responsible for any shortages of "home" events.
At Monday night's YME school board meeting YME Mat Club President Rob Ator addressed the board to impress on the members that it is important that team unity is built across the board this first year. While the districts have agreed to fund new singlets for the wrestlers, there is a need for team warm-up gear.
Ator shared that the Mat Club is not in the position to provide new warm-ups again this year. The Mat Club purchased 20 new black and white warm-ups last year. "We want this [program] to go 20 years. We need to get past the first one."
He went on to share that when wrestlers were on the floor prior to a match, wearing their home school warm-ups would be counterproductive to building team unity.
YME Athletic Director Tim Knapper told the board that Rambo Sports has a warm-up from last year and is looking at ways to redesign the warm-up rather than replace them. "It would be a lot more cost effective to have the warm-ups redesigned than buying new warm-ups."
Grievance filed
A disagreement on EM-YME (teacher's union) contract language for deferred compensation was brought before the board on Monday night. When any member of the EM-YME believes that the district is not adhering to contract language, the member can file a grievance. There is a grievance procedure that must be followed. YME Spanish teacher Sue Vetsch filed a grievance over deferred compensation when she retired from YME last spring. When Vetsch retired the district paid her $4,000 in deferred compensation.
Page 2 of 2 - The amount of the compensation was determined based on contract language. Vetch contends that she should have received $8,500 based on contract language. Vetsch requested an additional $4,500 in deferred compensation based on the union's interpretation of the language of the contract. YME Superintendent Al Stoeckman refused the request for the additional $4,500 based on the school attorney's interpretation of the contract language.
In the grievance procedure, after his refusal the issue must be brought before the school board. Education Minnesota Representative Tami Barnes appeared before the board to present the grievance to the board.
During an amiable discussion Barnes presented the union's interpretation and board member Tim Opdahl presented the district's interpretation. A question was asked what the next step in the process would be if the board voted to deny Vetsch's request. Barnes indicated that the issue would go to arbitration. Board member Steve Zumhofe asked, "Do we have to pay for the arbitration?" Barnes answered that the district would be responsible for paying for half of the costs. Zumhofe then indicated that the board believes their interpretation is correct and EM-YME believes their interpretation is correct and that he didn't know who is correct. "I think we need to let this go to arbitration."
Board member Tim Opdahl made a motion to refuse the additional $4,500 in deferred compensation. The vote was unanimous to refuse the deferred compensation.
Enrollment up
from expectation:
The September enrollment report shows that 816 students are enrolled in YME. "We're up 25 students from what we expected last spring," Stoeckman told the board. He indicated that about half of those were students who open enrolled at YME. "Most of them came from the east," shared Stoeckman.
Personnel items:
With the increase in numbers and redistribution of duties several changes were required in staff.
•The board approved Kristie Anderson as a .05 FTE high school English teacher and a .05 FTE success coach;
•Increased Robin Speh to a .333 FTE success coach;
• Approved a contact for Roxanne Tanner for a .4 FTE elementary math success coach and .6 Title I;
•The board also approved contracts with: Claudia Juarez as a Hispanic liaison and Angie Anderson as an elementary paraprofessional.
•The board approved Ben Lecy as a junior high football coach, and Jeff Iverson as an advisor for both the drama club and knowledge bowl.
•The board accepted the resignations of Katie Kvam, Eriann Faris as success coaches and Kristie Klassen as softball coach.
•The board approved a two year contract for Community Education and Activities Director Tim Knapper. The contract calls for a 2.5 percent increase in 2013, bringing his salary to $79,247 for 230 work days and a 2.5 percent increase for 2014 as well as insurance coverage equal to the school principals' coverage.

MARIETTA - A Lowell man was sentenced Tuesday in Washington County Common Pleas Court for his sixth drunken driving arrest in the past 15 years.
Daniel R. Sampson, 44, of 306 Third St. was sentenced to 14 months in prison on a fourth-degree felony charge of OVI.
Sampson was arrested Nov. 15 while leaving the Valley Inn Bar & Grill in Beverly in his vehicle, said Washington County Assistant Prosecutor Kevin Rings.

Convicted of his sixth drunken driving incident in 15 years, Lowell resident Daniel Sampson, left, was sentenced Tuesday in Washington County Common Pleas Court to serve 14 months in prison on the fourth-degree felony OVI.
"A Beverly police officer pulled him over and he told the officer, 'I'm drunk. You know it and I know it,'" said Rings.
Sampson had told the officer it had been a good day at work and he and some co-workers had gotten a drink afterward to celebrate, he added.
The charge marks at least the sixth time Sampson has been arrested for OVI; however, it will be the first time he spends time in prison for the offense, said Rings.
Under Ohio law, a fourth OVI in six years or a sixth OVI in 20 years is categorized as a felony.
Sampson was indicted for a felony OVI for a previous charge stemming from a Jan. 21, 2010 arrest. During that incident, he ran his car into a ditch along Cats Creek Road in Lowell then fled the scene. The next day Sampson showed up at the Ohio State Highway Patrol office and asked for his truck, said Rings.
However, he ended up pleading to a lesser first-degree misdemeanor charge, said Rings.
The sentence given Tuesday was broken into two components. Sampson was sentenced to two months on the felony OVI charge itself, a mandatory minimum penalty, said Washington County Common Pleas Court Judge Randall Burnworth. Then he was sentenced to an additional 12 months for the specification that Sampson had committed six offenses in the past 20 years, again the mandatory statute, said Burnworth.
Sampson was ordered to pay a mandatory $1,350 fine, he said.
Sampson spoke briefly during the sentencing. When given the chance to make a comment, he thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry."
The 14-month sentence was appropriate given Sampson's prior record, said Rings.
"The last time he spent six months in the county jail so it's only appropriate that the sentence keep going up every time he recommits," he said following the sentencing.
The sentences have steadily increased over the last five OVI charges. Burnworth read through a list of the previous convictions and Sampson's jail time for those offenses: 10 days in jail for a 1998 OVI conviction, 20 days and then 30 days in jail for two OVI convictions in 2003, another 30 days for a 2006 conviction, and finally the 180 days after the 2010 conviction.
"Mr. Sampson, I can't make you quit drinking. Only you can do that. But I can make sure you don't drink for the next 14 months," said Burnworth before turning Sampson over to deputies from the Washington County Sheriff's Office.

Netflix to Boost CEO Reed Hastings's Pay in 2013
By Drew Fitzgerald
Netflix boosted Chief Executive Reed Hastings's compensation package for 2013 to $4 million, essentially doubling his take this year, according to a document filed late Friday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The streaming video service said it will pay Mr. Hastings a $2 million salary with $2 million of compensation through stock options, the ultimate value of which depends on how Netflix's shares perform.
The initial compensation package represents an increase from Mr. Hastings's 2012 compensation plan, which included a $500,000 salary and a $1.5 million stock-option allowance. Mr. Hastings's compensation was cut sharply this year after a botched 2011 plan to split the company into two units spooked investors. In 2011, Netflix awarded him a $500,000 salary and a $3 million stock-option allowance.
Netflix shares have gained 29% this year but are still off more than 70% from an all-time high reached in July 2011.
Neflix doesn't provide its name executives with performance-based bonuses.
Shares were recently up fractionally at $89.39 after hours.

This educational idea is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by our Blog Ambassador Allison McDonald. "Everyday play is what childhood should be about."
Teaching your children about gratitude is not easy, but Thanksgiving is a great time to try. We made these simple thank you cards to thank others for things that we appreciate. Young kids are naturally self-centered, but with simple activities like this one we can expand their perspective and remind teach them how and why to say thank you and have fun doing it.
For these simple cards we used our Melissa & Doug Alphabet Stamp Set, some plain cards, cream colored card stock, glue, a googly eye, marker, pencil and scissors.
We did it two ways: one for my toddler and one for my son, who is in kindergarten. My daughter happily finger-stamped a sheet of card stock with multicolored fingerprints. I then drew a turkey, she glued a googly eye on and then I carefully cut the paper into the shape of a turkey. As we were crafting I asked her who she wanted to say thank you to and she listed a few really great people to thank. For 2 I think that's a great start.
For my kindergartener I was available to help spell if he wanted but I showed him the cards, showed him the stamps, and let him go! I love his funky card but I really loved the time this craft gave us to really talk about saying thanks instead of the " What do you say . . . " reminder. We talked about who and what we are grateful for, and then after he was done stamping he wrote his own note on the inside.
For Thanksgiving dinner we will be making one card for each of our guests filled with a personal thank you message from my kids.
How do you teach your kids about gratitude?

The North Dakota attorney general has filed a lawsuit challenging a shared-parenting initiative that was approved in November by voters in Walsh County.
The measure establishes equal parental rights for divorced or separated parents, as long as neither parent is legally determined to be an unfit parent.
The campaign was spearheaded by Mitch Sanderson, a Park River man who was the main promoter of a similar statewide ballot measure that voters rejected in 2006.
The Grand Forks Herald reports (http://bit.ly/12FaCTj) that Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem filed a civil suit over the measure as a motion in Sanderson's divorce case.
Stenehjem argues that the county-wide ordinance usurps state law giving state courts and agencies authority in divorce and custody case.

I am very much interested in the evolution of the mankind from the old ages, specially around the 950 BC.
About he used to think at that time stamp and as we compare with the current life style it becomes more an more interesting and sometimes it's look's like funny though, it is the main cause of our evolution.

I absolutely agree with you - have you heard of (or visited) Skara Brae on Orkney?

Im doing AS history at the minute and we are doing germany 1918c -1945c and russia c1903-1942c. I think doing germany at GCSE gave me a good base for studying the AS material. at the moment russia is a bit of a muddle to me as ive never studied it before.
However, i agree with whoever said about studying more British history and i would add to that irish history as well. In 3rd year we did about the british settling in ireland (cant remember - was it the plantation or something?) I dont think students know very much about the history of their own country as i think a lot of emphasis is on the wars of the 20th century (particularly WW2), whilst fascinating, i think its possibly a bit overdone. i found Nazi germany fascinating and britain during the war as well.
One thing i would say is that i think students in northern ireland would benefit from studying the troubles as its an important part of history and peoples lives.
Is there a limit on how close to the present day you can study? Ive always wondered this.
I remember studying the stone age etc in primary school - that would be a good idea! Is there much material on it, useful for GCSE type study?
I agree with whoever said about studying the history of sport etc. is totally pointless and i wouldnt be interested at all in that.
I think modern world history is perhaps the most interesting as its the most detailsed and far more material on it. More debate and argument

Can someone please email me some past papers for the sources paper that is based on surgery through time. My email address is email@example.com . The exam is tomorrow so the faster the better.
Posted 01 June 2014 - 09:31 PM
If you can tell me which board you are studying then I can try to find some papers for you.
Posted 02 June 2014 - 08:22 AM
actually don't worry now. A friend has sent me some. Thanks a lot any way though.

5|25: Celebrating Five Years of Autism Science Day 13: AGP Releases First Results
Launched in 2004 by Autism Speaks, the Autism Genome Project, or AGP, is the largest study ever conducted to find the genes associated with risk for developing autism. Comprised of approximately 50 academic and research institutions representing 19 countries, many of the world's leading genetics researchers pooled their resources and used a promising new technology, the DNA microarray, to scan the human genome in search of the genetic causes of this devastating disorder. In 2007, the first of several planned analyses was made public.
The first phase of the project, a research partnership with the National Institutes of Health, consisted of two scans of the human genome searching for regions that may harbor autism susceptibility genes. The scans analyzed DNA samples from nearly 1,200 families and in February the preliminary results were reported in the leading international journal Nature Genetics. The AGRE collection made up almost one third of the samples for this study. Highlights include the identification of a novel region on chromosome 11, additional support for previously identified regions on chromosome 2 and 7, linkage signals that appear to be present only in affected girls, and the identification of a specific candidate gene, neurexin, associated with copy number variations (CNV).
Completion of the first phase of AGP showed the world that scientists could work together to tackle the complexities of autism. Autism Speaks was a leading voice in the formation of AGP, as it believes that breakthroughs will happen faster if researchers unite in their efforts. Given the heterogeneity in underlying risk factors in autism, expansion of consortia such as AGP will absolutely be required.
Did you know?: In order to form the Autism Genome Project, Autism Speaks brought together 170 of the world's leading geneticists. With over 3,500 families in its dataset, the AGP is the largest collaboration in the world to study the genetics of autism. By using state-of-the-art technologies and combining their results across sites, AGP and its members have been involved with every major autism genetic discovery reported over the past two years. With more major findings expected from the consortium in the near future, the AGP is now widely recognized as major force in the field of autism genetics.

Amazing Arm Workouts for Women (See Ya, Chicken Wings)
This exercise gets you comfortable moving on all foursperfect for the Standing Tiger, Crouching Dragon.
Start on all fours, engaging the core to balance on hands and feet, wrists below shoulders and knees hovering an inch above the ground. Keep your core engaged and step your left foot and right hand forward. Then, step forward with your right foot and left arm. Move four strides forward and four strides back to complete one rep. Do 8-24 repetitions total.
Getting frisky requires some serious flexibility. Strong glutes are key!
Lie flat on your back, with your knees bent, feet flat on the floor hip-width apart. Extend your arms by your sides, palms facing down. Inhale and contract glutes to lift hips off the floor, raising as high as you can without placing any pressure on your neck or head. Hold at the top for an extra moment, pull more air into your lungs. Slowly linking movement with your breath, begin to lower your spine, vertebrae by vertebrae until your hips land once more. Do 8-24 reps.

Margie Brill of My Springfield Mommy
Memorial Day weekend kicks off vacation season for a lot of families. For most of us, we focus on where we will be going and what we will be doing once we get there. How often do we stop and think of family safety away from home? I was lucky enough to speak with Wade, a police officer at our local station, who was more than happy to jot down a few of his ideas and share them with us.
When asked to come up with some ideas to make traveling with children simple and safe, I had to reflect on my own traveling days, with 3 kids, from Illinois to California. I can assure you that it was never simple, but I do recall many things we did as parents to keep our children safe, comfortable and occupied during the 30 plus hours on the road. Keep in mind that there is no fail safe way of keeping your child safe during travel, but always remember that 'chance, favors the prepared'. And that's where we begin.
Planning and research
If you plan on driving a very long distance like I did, you should take time to thoroughly map out the route(s) you are taking, research the hotels you will be staying at and find out what kind of area you are taking your kids to. Don't hesitate to call the local Law Enforcement agency and ask to speak to someone about your upcoming visit and get recommendations where to stay. On-line newspapers or local travel centers are also a great source for information.
Fuel and eats
A helpful hint to safe refueling and dining include knowing some details about your automobile. It will be necessary to find out the gas mileage on your vehicle and plan accordingly. If you know that your car has a 20 gallon tank, then ½ a tank would equal 10 gallons. My rule of thumb has always been to never let the gauge drop below a half tank. In my case, I know that my car gets 25 miles per gallon. Since I'm using 10 gallons at approximately 25 miles to the gallon, I can safely travel about 250 miles before I need to refuel. Now I can research fuel stops at approximately every 250 miles. The last thing you want to do is run low on fuel and be forced to pull off the highway in an undesirable area to get gas. Do your research and don't put your family in unnecessary risk.
Vehicle maintenance (don't forget safety belts/car seats/etc..)
Engine maintenance, new tires, new windshield wipers and all the essential items are probably already done and you are ready for your trip, or are you? What about your safety belts? What about the child restraint safety laws? What about the proper installation of infant car seats, booster seats or other car seats as required by law. You will need to know what the seatbelt laws are for the state you are traveling to and make sure that you have a properly installed and adjusted safety seat for your child. A great place to gain information for this is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Or contact your local State Police Headquarters for more information regarding child restraint laws. There are a lot of websites available where you will find plenty of information and other helpful hints on travel safety for your vacation. Properly adjusted seat belts not only save lives, it's the law! As we say in Illinois "click it or ticket"!!
Supplies/games/comfort snacks
Taking along food and drink supplies is a great way to save money during your trip and will
also allow you to keep healthy foods at hand during your road trip. Keeping your kids occupied with games and
activities, like coloring or activity books with washable markers, is a fun way for them to remember the, "dreaded drive across country", as my kids would say. By keeping the kid's full of healthy snacks and occupied with activities along the way, you should be able to tend to the driving duties without dangerous distractions and endless "are we there yet?" questions.
Hotel location and researched safety/security
When you book a hotel, you will find all the information you need by reading the reviews. Pay close attention to both the good and the bad reviews. If you see complaints of lighting, security doors that don't lock, unlighted parking, etc. move on to the next hotel and check their reviews. The reviews are your eyes and ears from people that have been there before. Listen to them and book accordingly. This is a time you can call the local Law Enforcement agency and ask them about the hotel. Some questions you may want to ask are: is it a high crime area, i.e. drugs, alcohol, prostitution etc..? Do they receive many complaints of theft or damage to vehicles? These are questions that the hotel staff may not
answer, for fear of losing your business.
Once you arrive at your hotel, I cannot think of one good reason why you should ever leave your children alone. While the kids may feel the need to go to the pool, explore the balcony or ride the elevator non-stop for hours, you really need to stay nearby and keep a watchful eye. No matter how much research you did, or how nice that hotel looks and feels, it is NOT YOUR HOME. You are surrounded by stranger danger and you should always expect the unexpected.
With that said, you don't need to scare your children either. Have a plan and make sure your kids know it well. If you decide to let them venture out and explore, know exactly where they are going (in pairs, if possible) be strict with return times, and always provide them a way to communicate with you. Two-way radio scanners be a good way to communicate, but keep in mind, someone else can also monitor that frequency and may exploit an opportunity to cause your family harm. Stick to cell phones if possible.
Follow your "at-home" rules
If you have to leave your children alone in the room, then follow the same rules you have at home. Do you leave your 7-year-old at home alone while you go to the store? Probably not, so it would not be appropriate in this case either. However, if your child is of age, then make sure they know how to operate the hotel phone, emergency evacuation plans and always create a password for anyone knocking to gain entry (if you don't know the password, you are a stranger). Whatever plan you come up with, make it unique to your family and your family only.
Thanks, Wade! These are some great tips!
What tips do you have on keeping kids safe while traveling?

NEW: For a prettier blog interface, see the Wordpress version!
2. Lessons learned from the past week
- I'm very finicky when it comes to organizing. None of the popular organizing forms quite fit the weekly schedule + TODO list that I want to use. Custom letter-size forms are easy to make. I'm not sure how well I can translate to a smaller size; maybe if I do one week per page and then have the TODO list on the next page...
- Last week was find-a-group week. I tried Toast IT, Zero Gravity Circus and JCSA. Toast IT was the best in terms of social interaction, self-improvement and networking. That's something that's earned a fixed place on my calendar. I can join the other two groups maybe once a month.
- I'm pretty good at impromptu speeches and networking, but not really social small talk. I work best when the context is well-established and I feel I have something to offer people. That's why Toast I.T. works very well for me, but social chats like JCSA language exchanges don't really do the trick.
- Keeping track of my expenses is a breeze with Gnucash, a free and open source program that makes record-keeping fun and easy. I just sent my mom a summary of my credit card transactions and a detailed transaction report for everything involving a credit card. Whee!
- Working out my finances is scarily fun. I've just finished drawing up yearly and monthly spending plans based on a general guide for international students and my expenses for the past two weeks. I used OpenOffice.org Calc to recalculate remaining monthly budget automatically as I put in my initial estimates and then adjusted them based on my spending goal. I've decided to allocate more money to groceries and books than I had previously spent, and I've built in a small splurge allowance for little things I want. I'll test that spending plan this month and post additional reflections in September.
- The calendar I'm using right now really works for me. I should look into making an electronic version of it so that people reading my website can get a better feel of how I like to plan my day. I also need to work on a good contact management system to keep track of all the people I meet (and it turns out that I meet quite a number of new people each week)...
今日ほとんどの子供が持っているビデオゲーム機でさえコンピュータである。 Even videogame machines owned by most children today are computers.
1. Five lessons learned from last week
- Research groups are good. The lively exchange of ideas will inspire and support me, and besides, group meetings often have food. It's worth postponing my individual interest in personal information management if I can't find other people who are working on the same area.
- I'm good at networking and relating to people quickly. I'm still a little shy, but I'm starting to be good at remembering names and faces, and people here don't mind helping someone get settled in.
- A personal organizer makes me feel more on top of things. If I can find a ring-bound paper organizer with the same structure as my current planner, I'll switch to it. I really appreciate having weekly and daily goals, and might prepare my own templates if I can't find an organizer that normally does that.
- I can write 800 words easily once I get going. I prefer writing in one go instead of filling out an outline because the former feels more like writing e-mail to someone, and I can get pretty long-winded in e-mail.
- My writing style seems to be matter-of-fact and conversational. Dominique thinks I've found my voice.

Downhill Freebordin'
Common knowledge is that downhill skateboarding is a pretty sketchy endeavor. This video of Mike Hoppe and Corey Lucero taking their Freebords down a long stretch of two lane California switchbacks doesn't look that dicey. But it is still dicey as hell. Speaking of dicey, how does Freebord not get sued for misleading consumers into thinking they can get Freebords for free? And why isn't the horse in this video too?Read More

Few animals have as ferocious a reputation as piranhas (genus Serrasalmus), freshwater fish found in the tropics of South America. The name, inspired by the piranhas' razor-sharp triangular teeth, comes from the Portuguese piro for "fish," and sainha for "tooth." Piranhas are also known locally as caribe, derived from the Carib, an indigenous group for which the Caribbean Sea was named. Columbus also reported hearing the feared Carib tribe in Cuba called Canibaliterally, "strong men"and indeed believed this group to be cannibals.
Like their tribal namesakes, piranhas have long been thought to eat humans. However, reports of the man-eating fishnot to mention the man-eating menare greatly exaggerated.
Most of the more than 20 species of piranhas found in the Amazon are omnivorous, eating both seeds as well as the meat of other fishes or wounded animals who stray into the water. Even the most blood-thirsty piranhas, however, cannot eat an entire animal by themselves; instead they merely nip off scales or bits of flesh. And only when herded together by low waters during the dry season will most species of piranha congregate in large schools, the only time when healthy mammals (and humans) need fear treading in rivers and lagoons.
The one exception is the caju (Serrasalmus nattereri), which does frequently form large schools. The caju is the most publicized piranha species, helping to spread misconceptions about this widely varied fish.
The 44-plus species of harlequin frogs are easily the jesters of the Central and South American amphibian court. For one thing, these so-called frogs are actually toads. And they can be easily confused with poison dart frogs because they sport brightly colored smooth skin, and produce highly toxic skin secretions. But harlequin frogs intrigue herpetologists for other reasons: They have a Bidders organ, a rudimentary gland that enables males to develop functioning ovaries if their testicles are removed; and they exhibit "transsexual calling talents"meaning both sexes are able to call during breeding season. Furthermore, tadpoles hatch about 24 hours after the females lay their egg strands.

Chorizo, Sweet Potatoes And Peppers Over Quinoa
Hubby and I both loved this dish. The heat from the chilies was perfectly paired with the sweetness of the sweet potatoes and the smokiness from the cumin. If you don't care for mild to moderate heat, you can cut back on the chilies, but I found it to be perfect as is.
Chorizo, Sweet Potatoes and Anaheim Chilies With Quinoa
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into small cubes
4 whole Anaheim chilies
1 TBSP olive oil, divided
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
8 ounces fresh chorizo
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup quinoa, cooked per package instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with non-stick foil or regular foil sprayed with cooking spray. Place sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl and drizzle with two teaspoons of the olive oil. Season with salt, cumin, oregano and cayenne pepper. Spread in a single layer onto baking sheet. Rub the chilies with remaining tsp of oil, place on baking sheet and sprinkle with salt.
Place baking sheet in oven and roast vegetables for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and stir sweet potatoes and turn over peppers. Return pan to oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and peppers are slightly charred.
While vegetables are roasting, place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chorizo. Crumble it as it starts to brown and then add the onions. Saute until onions have softened, 7-8 minutes, then add the garlic. Saute for another minute or two. Remove from heat.
Also while vegetables are roasting, prepare the quinoa according to package instructions.
Slice the chilies, remove the seeds and dice.
Add the chilies and sweet potatoes to the chorizo mixture and stir to combine. Serve over quinoa. Garnish with sour cream if desired.

Good to see you here! I think about you often (especially since this is the year I turn 50).
This does look fantastic. I love roasted peppers. What an aroma and flavor (funny how the word aroma is so much better than smell, huh?).
Take care, my friend.

You definitely caught my attention with the very first ingredient -- sweet potatoes -- and then things just kept on getting even better with each succeeding ingredient. I'm embarrassed to say that I'm still a quinoa virgin, Mags, but this sensational recipe inspires me to buy some pronto, as in tomorrow morning!
