Cant make heads or tails out of which kinds of fish are sustainable?
Randy Hartnell is here to help. The former Alaskan fisherman created Vital Choice, a mail-order company that specializes in wild-harvested seafood.
In addition to three salmon varieties, Hartnell also supplies halibut, albacore

The girl at the photocopy machine eventually raised her eyes and addressing herself to me and my daughter, inquired, "Do you want a printing job done?" I said "Yes." In my hands I had a sheet of paper with a prayer typed on it and several Staples-bought papers with a scroll parchment design on them. I handed them to the girl and said, "I would like this prayer photocopied unto one of these scroll papers."
The first thing out of her mouth was, "This cannot be done." As I have had this job done six times before in this same store, and it is my understanding that Staples is in the printing field, I looked at her and said, "I've had this done here before; you cannot tell me it cannot be done. You take the sheet with the prayer and put it on the window. You stick the other paper where the paper goes you hit the print button."
Then, when I said, "Never mind, I'll do it myself. Which is your color copier?" she says to me, "If we do this, the way you want it to be done, it's going to come up on the rolled-up section of the scroll." I replied that this had been done in the store six times before. When she saw that I was getting upset, then and only then did she say, "I don't know how to do it." At which point, I indicated that a manager had to be called into the department to do it.
She went to get the manager and Bill came back, confronted me at the desk and said, "Did you say something to upset that sales associate?" At first, I thought he was a manager. When I looked at his name tag, I realized he was another sales associate. At that point, I reiterated that I wanted to speak to a manager. With an attitude and a sarcastic laugh, he said, "Yes, I'm surely going to get a manager."
I do not know this person from here to Kingdom come. When the manager came, I reiterated all that had happened, while the female associate kept interjecting, "I told you I didn't know how to do it. I didn't say it couldn't be done." Then, the manager did the job and I paid my 11 cents. I don't know what Staples policy is on customer service or what their training measures are. But I can tell you this: it will be a cold day in Hell before I ever put a foot in their store again.

Quote #4
Their friendship was as intense as it was sudden. They found relief in each other's personality (1922.10).
The girls see in each other what they don't think they have in themselves. Perhaps there is a way that they complete each other.
Quote #5
Sula lifted her head and joined Nel in the grass play. In concert, without ever meeting each other's eyes, they stroked the blades up and down, up and down (1922.40).
Sula and Nel have become one mind. Their connection is far deeper than just being girlhood friends.

Tim McGraw is used to setting records. Now he's added one more to the list. Tim's numerous chart toppers recently claimed him the honor of having the most cumulative weeks at #1 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, with a total of 58 weeks at the top, since the implementation of the Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems (BDS) era, which began in January 1990. Neilsen BDS data is the information Billboard magazine utilizes to compile its song charts for all formats. "I am truly humbled to have achieved this record," says Tim. "I don't go out trying to record songs I think will go to #1; I try to record songs I think people will respond to. But when a single does make it you feel that you've accomplished that goal - and then there is the pride you feel for everyone else who was a part of that single because it is honestly a team accomplishment."

Winter storm blasts New Mexico
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. ( AP) — A severe winter blast has struck most of New Mexico, closing schools and shutting down major highways across the state.
Motorists sought emergency shelter overnight as state officials closed both directions of Interstate 40 from Albuquerque to Gallup — part of the historic Route 66 — after blowing snow caused near-zero visibility.
Authorities also shut down Interstate 10 in the southern part of the state, from the Texas line to the Arizona border, because of heavy snow and icy road conditions.
The storm was the third to hit the state recently and spread heavy snow throughout northern and southern New Mexico. It forced school districts to close or end classes early Monday, as motorists struggled with icy roads. Early today, KOB-TV reported nearly 200 active closings and delays.
Julia Pardue, a front desk attendant at the Super 8 hotel in Grants, said a number of stranded motorists got rooms for the rest of the day after Interstate 40 was closed rather than wait for the highway to reopen.
"A lot of people just didn't want to be on the roads," she said.
Meteorologists said heavy snow wasn't to blame for the highway closures but rather strong winds brushing the light snow across roads, making visibility difficult. Some areas, such as Tajique, saw two-foot snow drifts.
Kerry Jones, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Albuquerque, said most of the heavy snowfall ended by Monday afternoon and just around an inch or two was expected throughout most of New Mexico.
Jones said residents also should expect "bitter cold" weather with temperatures 15 below zero in some parts. Jones said temperatures will gradually warm throughout the week.

Paper Chase
TAP transcription and phosphatidylinositol linkage mutants are defective in activation through the T cell receptor.
Department of Pathology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115.
TAP is a phosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane protein that is involved in murine T lymphocyte activation. To determine the relationship between TAP and T cell receptor/CD3-mediated activation, we derived TAP expression mutants of a T-T hybridoma. Two phenotypically distinct classes of mutants were obtained. The first has a selective defect in the transcription of TAP, while the second has a defect in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylinositol-protein linkages. Both mutations affect antigen-stimulated, T cell receptor-mediated activation of the T-T hybrid. These variants have intact immune effector gene programs, as they are responsive to pharmacologic agents that mimic receptor signals. These findings support a role for phosphatidylinositol-linked cell-surface glycoproteins in physiologic T cell activation. Consistent with this interpretation, we observed similar defects in T cell responsiveness after enzymatic removal of phosphatidylinositol-linked proteins from normal T lymphocytes.

Smartwatches Drive New Wedge Between Samsung, Google
Tensions between Google and Samsung are escalating again—this time over wearables.
Last week, in a tense private meeting at the Allen & Co. conference in Sun Valley, Google CEO Larry Page told Samsung Vice Chairman Jay Y. Lee that he was frustrated Samsung was investing more in smartwatches running Samsung's Tizen operating system than in smartwatches running Google's Android Wear software, according to three people briefed on the conversations.

text: Regarding America's founding with God by a recent letter writer, the founding fathers were not much different than politicians today. They embrace whatever gets them the votes or to get the people behind them. The founding fathers were not Christians as much as they were players. Thomas Jefferson, the one most deem as the "most" Christian, thought Christians were ignorant and believed the Bible was fabricated except for the gospels. Washington, perhaps second, went to church just to go through the motions. His prayers were political. I suggest you watch "Secrets of the Founding Fathers" available on YouTube. The founding of America was not Christian. They were people who knew how to manipulate the majority. They deliberately left truth and the value of truth out of the constitution for a reason. With truth, manipulation will not work. Every single problem America has is due to lies since there is no standard against. Their methods are followed to this day and the only salvation for America is to rid it's base and create a new nation based upon truth. Though truth is a noun it is also a verb which means living or doing the truth. It is also a name.

For one thing, he'll never be able to help you in the yard. You tell ol' stiffy it's his turn to mow the grass and one of your neighbors is bound to come over in the middle of the night to stake him to the ground for making that kind of racket when everyone else has to work in the morning. And forget counting on him to man the grill at the next barbecue because he'll be out cold while you're working on your tan or freckling in the sun. Want to enjoy a companionable cup of coffee with your lover? Get used to him asking you to open a vein over his cup first or he won't be able to tolerate it.
All joking aside, I've never been able to suspend reality long enough to accept a sexy, virile vampire as a romantic lead. This guy is going to be cold. Think about it. You'll never feel warm under the sheets with him and he's going to leech away your body temperature like a block of ice. His chilly feet are the least of your worries. Speaking of which, the mechanics aren't going to work either. Your stiffy isn't going to get a stiffy without a functioning circulatory system to help him out.
And last but not least, when you see lust in his eyes, you'll always be wondering which kind is it, won't you? I know I would. I'd get mighty jumpy with this guy shadowing me around with that hungry look. I think I'd be snapping, "What!? Why are you looking at me like that? No more. I can't. I'm already a quart low every month. Find another meal ticket for that."
Sheesh. What could you possibly do with a guy like that?

The Phoenix Chapter has been supporting Childhelp and its programs since 1988. The members of this chapter work hard to raise awareness and funds for Childhelp programs in Arizona through various fundraising efforts. They collaborate with local businesses for BBQ lunches and sell Diamond Back tickets. In addition to reaching out to local businesses, the chapter holds larger events such as their annual dinner and auction.
Chapter members also support local programs by doing toy and clothing drives for children receiving services, throwing holiday parties for families at the community centers, or by taking on renovation and decorating projects for the Childhelp facilities. They support the programs in any way they can.
However, this chapter doesn't stop there! They are working on educational components to the work they do as well. They have plans to bring in national speakers specializing in educating the public on the signs of child abuse and how to report it. The impact this chapter makes on the fight against child abuse in Arizona is immeasurable.

The Sikeston Historic Midtown Development Group held its monthly meeting July 6. Members present were Jim Bucher, Chuck Grant, Kathy Medley, Missy Marshall, Don Pratt, Larry Tetley, Ed Dust, Joel Evans, Larry Braden, Mike Marshall, David Freidman, Jonathan Maloyed, Mike Marsh, Courtney Corbett, Marcia Witt and Susie Kennedy. Duane DeCota, Monique Rice, Jethro Gator, and Mike and Mickey Gadberry were present as guests.
Jonathan Maloyed reported on the Economic Restructuring Committee's task involving a detailed retail survey. The primary purpose of the survey is to establish a baseline of businesses and employees in the Sikeston midtown business district. A random sampling survey of the community will be used in phase two of the project.
David Friedman reported on the downtown merchants' "Adopt-A-Cowboy" promotional project. The project would be a tie-in with the Jaycee Bootheel Rodeo.
Larry Braden told the group of the Design Committee work with historic lighting for the downtown area. The Sikeston Depot Museum is already funded for a similar project, and the downtown merchants would like to match or at least complement their style.
Jim Bucher reported on the group's NAP Credit application and the new DREAM program of Gov. Matt Blunt. These grants would aid the growth and revitalization of the midtown region.
Monique Rice presented her proposal of renovating Malone Park's historic band shell. The estimated cost of repairs and new lighting is $4,000. Rice is beginning her fundraising campaign immediately, and the HMDG voted to contribute $1,000 toward the effort. After Rice's presentation, HMDG's Larry Tetley presented her with a plaque for her outstanding community service work.
Mike Gadberry was introduced as the new owner of the old Harris Pharmacy building on Front Street. He told of his plans to renovate the building. Jethro Gator then told of his plans for his building under construction on Center Street, immediately behind the municipal court building.
Kathy Medley, secretary for HMDG, will be going to work for the city of Sikeston. Her position at the Chamber of Commerce will be filled by Pam Tibbs.
HMDG welcomes all midtown merchants and business persons to attend these monthly meetings held the first Thursday of the month at 8 a.m. at Susie's Restaurant, 112 E. Center.

By Don Manuszewski, U.S. Army North PAOMarch 28, 2011
FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas -- Military and civilian members of U. S. Army North took the lead in setting up three reception centers on the U.S. West Coast and one in Denver to assist nearly 4,000 military family members who voluntarily returned to the United States in the aftermath of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami March 11.
With short notice, Army North's Defense Coordinating Element in Federal Emergency Management Agency Region X set-up a Joint Reception Coordination Center March 19, at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Wash., while the Defense Coordinating Element in Federal Emergency Management Agency Region IX set up a Joint Reception Coordination Center the following day at Travis Air Force Base, Calif. - both within 24 hours of being notified of the requirement.
The Denver Joint Reception Coordination Center, or JRCC, was set up by the Defense Coordinating Element from FEMA Region VIII and has been ready to start receiving the families since March 22, with a flight of family members and pets arriving March 24.
"We have an amazing team here," said Col. Michael McCormick, Army North's defense coordinating officer in the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) Region X. "From the people at Joint Base Lewis-McChord and Naval Region Northwest to the many civilian agencies like the Red Cross and the USO, we're all working together to make this happen for the Department of Defense family members returning from Japan. Their care, comfort and rapid transit to safe haven destinations is our mission."
The team at SEATAC was the first to stand-up and started receiving its first families March 20. As of March 23, the team had welcomed back more than 2,000 family members and nearly 100 pets.
The second team at Travis Air Force Base, Calif., began operations March 22, and has already assisted about nearly 2,000 people and numerous pets. The majority of that team is made up from the many servicemembers who make Travis home on a day-to-day basis.
"It's a great experience and a great opportunity," said Capt. Matt Reed, Travis AFB veterinarian, who is on hand should any of the pets traveling with the families need his services.
With so many people transiting through the facilities at the JRCCs, it's been quite a feat to help the families get to their ultimate destination, but everyone is working together to make sure the affected families have the best customer service possible.
"This is absolutely wonderful," said Katie Coleman, whose husband, Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class James Coleman, stayed behind at Misawa Air Base, Japan. "Everything and anything we wanted to know, they had an answer for. This has been above and beyond what I expected."
In Denver, the JRCC team was all set to assist the military family members as they disembarked the aircraft the afternoon of March 24. The Denver JRCC received two flights and was set to receive about two more.
"I am confident we are ready to receive the families because they are our own," said Col. Marc Hutson, deputy commanding officer for Region VIII.
All teams understand the impact they can have on not only those families but the bonds they are making within the teams.
"We want to smooth this out the best we can so we can relieve the stress (the families) are experiencing," said Air Force Col. Jeff Snyder, from the 60th Medical Group at Travis AFB. "I'm enjoying working with the defense coordinating element to make this work."
The JRCCs are expected to continue receiving the military families voluntarily leaving Japan as those families decide to leave.
Lt. Col. Randy Martin, Army North Public Affairs Officer; Tom Saunders, Air Force Northern; Sgt. 1st Class Marshall Smith, DCE Region 8, contributed to this story

Shaquille the Black Leopard
Tears dropped down onto his lifeless form from the eyes of those who had gathered around Shaq to ease him over to the other side. His black spotted fur, dappled by the afternoon sun, glistened but no longer gave rise and fall to his sedated breathing. His 17 year prison sentence ended today.
We were remembering the proud, fearless leopard and how he had touched all of our lives with his strength to overcome the awful lot he had been dealt. Shaq had been born in a cage. He was bred to be used in a nightclub act by a trainer who made his living from the suffering of many big cats. As long as people would pay to see big cats doing stupid pet tricks he could count on a good living by providing the disposable product of the trade; young, compliant felines.
Cubs live with their mothers for the first few years, so breeders pull the cubs before their eyes open and bottle raise them to be completely dependent and subservient to their human master. By the time the cats are a year old, they are nearly full sized; appearing to be adults, but still mentally kittens. The crowd is wowed by the mastery of the trainer over what they think to be a full-grown and fully intact lion, tiger or leopard. Usually they are declawed, defanged cubs who have been beaten into submission repeatedly behind the scenes.
A well known tiger tamer boasted to me that the way you teach a big cat "who is boss" is to chain them to a wall and beat them with a whip, standing just out of reach. After a while the cat learns that no matter how hard he tries, he cannot retaliate and after a while gives up hope. His spirit dies and he is considered tamed or trained. The training goes on behind locked doors because the public would never support these wild animal acts if they knew the truth.
The trainers all claim that they only use "positive reinforcement" and when in front of the public they do, but the cats are ever reminded of the brutal force that will be used against them if they fail to comply. Sometimes it is in the carrying of a whip, which the trainer will defend as only being a guide, and sometimes it is in the verbal threats using words that only the cats in the ring can hear. It can be as subtle as a look (remember how your mom could do that?) or a gesture that the cat associates with pain.
At Big Cat Rescue we use positive reinforcement or operant conditioning as it is often called as a way to keep the cats' minds stimulated and to assist us in their care and it works… when the cat wants it to work. This sort of training involves rewarding the cat with a little cube of meat for doing something we need them to do, like come into their feeding area, or show us a paw, or lay down next to the wall of the cage so we can give them their vaccinations or treat minor injuries. We do it because taking care of 100+ cats goes a lot easier if you have to get flea treatments on them and they come when called. It isn't feasible to chase down a tiger just to put a few drops of Advantage on him. The cats at Big Cat Rescue do it because it is something fun to do and they are bored out of their minds. The agonizing boredom of captivity is the hardest issue for anyone to address when caring for animals who cannot be set free. We never withhold food from their main meals, so the treats are merely the cat's way of measuring if they got our request right.
It's helpful, but it isn't reliable. The cats only respond to this kind of training on their own terms and for those who are being paid to perform for the public there isn't the option of just turning to the crowd and saying, "Sorry, the cat doesn't want to jump through the
hoop today."
In Shaquille's case, people paid to see him jump through the burning hoop in the nightclub show and he was going to jump or die, and he knew it. He knew what would happen if he didn't and one day, upon reaching adulthood, he proudly decided he wasn't going to do it any more. It was in the early days of the sanctuary when we would rescue a cat but not require the owner give up their rights to own again. Our policies evolved as we witnessed time and again that breeders, trainers, photo booth operators and exotic pet owners would dump the cats as they grew up in favor of new babies.
The first time I saw Shaquille and the cougar who came with him, I thought that some horrible accident must have happened en route to us. Calling the former owner we learned that the injuries they suffered from had been the result of the beating they had taken at his hand for not performing. He had no remorse and had broken no laws because there are virtually none that protect the big cats. When we complained to USDA we were told that beating big cats to make them perform was considered "standard training methods."
The cougar had a fungal infection in her brain because it had been exposed from the crashing blows to her head and wasn't long for this world after that. Shaq's face was the consistency of ground hamburger and his eye sockets had been crushed so that even years later, when he had fully recovered, his eyes teared constantly. His involuntary trail of tears were a solemn reminder of the abuse he had endured. His story was told to thousands who visited him at the sanctuary, once he was comfortable around people, and to millions who visited his page on the Internet.
Shaquille's indomitable spirit has been an inspiration to so many. He purr-sonified strength in adversity and the ability to forgive. As a result many people around the globe made a connection with him that bridged the gap perceived as "us" and "them." All of those thoughts were passing through our minds as he breathed his last in our arms.
The silence of the moment was shattered by an unearthly howling across the refuge. Hallelujah, a cougar and, the first big cat to come to the sanctuary, made the same proclamation as has become his habit when cats cross over. To my ears it was both chilling and comforting. Hal's timing and the fact that he never otherwise makes such a call let us know that we really are all connected. We feel each other and that connection transcends our physical bodies.
It is sad for us to lose the physical connection with another that we best understand, but Hallelujah reminded us that Shaquille and all those who have gone on before him are ever in our midst.
Leopards are designed to run 40 mph and leap 20 feet. They are strong swimmers and climbers and in my opinion are the smartest of all cat species. No cage is sufficient for their needs. Shaq was born in a cage, lived 17 years in a cage, and died in a cage…but now he is free.
His work is done. He brought to light the dark side of the entertainment industry and he put the torch in your hands to continue exposing animal abuse until it ends. You are his voice.

In one week, voters will decide for the sixth time in recent years whether there will be school construction in the Warren Local school district.
Unlike in previous attempts, school officials this time are asking for a 3.45-mill, 20-year bond issue to build a new high school only, along with a 5-mill, 10-year permanent improvement levy to help raise funds for repairs on the district's other facilities.
Previously, attempts were made to raise a local share to build all new schools or to build new elementary buildings and a middle school.
Voters have said "no" every time but we urge them to say "yes" to this proposal.
The buildings in the district are aging and need updates. Some of these are completely unavoidable for health and safety reasons. Others greatly impact the technology students are exposed to, an extremely important component of a thorough, competitive education today.
There is no getting around that money will have to be spent on these buildings. If a bond issue and levy can't be passed, the money will have to come from an already tight district budget, and mean more cuts to teachers and services.
Warren Local Schools has already cut back again and again as state funding dwindled or was at a standstill year to year. There has to be revenue from another source to deal with the facilities issue and in Ohio, unfortunately, the only option is to go to the taxpayers.
This levy would cost the owner of a home valued at $100,000 about $259 a year for the first 10 years and $105.66 for the next 10.
We know that's a real sacrifice for a lot of families struggling with their own budgets and financial crises.
But in all these years of Warren trying to pass a bond issue, no one has presented a better idea-and that's because there isn't one.
Taking care of the buildings now before they drain any more money is key. Investment in a community's schools is worth some sacrifice.
Vote in favor of the Warren Local Schools bond issue and tax levy.

Take a sneak peek at the new NIST.gov and let us know what you think!
(Please note: some content may not be complete on the beta site.).
NIST Additive Manufacturing
What is additive manufacturing?
How does it work?
An example application for the medical industry would be an artificial jawbone. A 3-D computer model of a jawbone is created based on the patient's bone structure, and this model is sliced into many layers. The computer then feeds the information into the additive machine, which could generate the complex bone structure substitute out of metal.
Which industries use it and how?
What impact could it have on the economy/exports/jobs?
What is NIST doing to accelerate use and innovation with additive manufacturing?
In NIST's Engineering Laboratory, the Measurement Science for Additive Manufacturing Program has four projects in metal-based additive manufacturing:
NIST has awarded two large grants in 2014 to fund research projects aimed at improving measurement and standards for additive manufacturing: $5 million to the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute in Youngstown, Ohio, for a collaborative research effort involving 27 companies, universities and national laboratories, and $2.4 million to Northern Illinois University to develop tools for process control and qualifying parts made with additive manufacturing processes. NIST has also made several smaller cooperative agreements with various groups. These competitively awarded grants will support industry's high priority objective of ensuring that quality parts are produced and certified for use in products made by a variety of industries and their supply chains. For more information, visit http://manufacturing.gov/msam_awards.html.
Research Highlight: The artificial dog nose
To sniff, the nose expels two turbulent airjets, which suck fresh odor-laden air from several centimeters ahead towards the nose. The new vapor sample is immediately inhaled and "analyzed." This process repeats five times per second. Lessons learned from this active aerodynamic sampling system are being integrated into next-generation vapor sampling devices.

SAN FRANCSICO -- Twitter cofounder Jack Dorsey said Tuesday that he cut back his duties at the microblogging service months ago after reaching goals set when he returned to the company, a response to a New York Times report that said the change was made because employees did not like working with Dorsey.
Dorsey invented Twitter in 2006 and led the company as CEO until 2008, when he left to found payments startup Square, where he still serves as CEO. He returned in 2011 to focus on the company's branding and design, famously saying he was working 8 hours a day at both San Francisco companies.
At the beginning of 2012, after less than a year back at Twitter, Dorsey returned control of the employees who directly reported to him back to CEO Dick Costolo, according to a Tumblr post from Dorsey on Tuesday.
Dorsey wrote that he and the company planned for his role to be short-term all along.
"Our shared goal was to get those organizations back under (Costolo) as soon as possible, simply because it was the right thing to do for the company," Dorsey wrote, later adding, "We haven't talked about this publicly because it's not what people using Twitter every day care about."
His account is different from a weekend New York Times profile of Costolo, which said Dorsey's "role has since been reduced after employees complained that he was difficult to work with and repeatedly changed his mind about product directions."
Dorsey mentioned the Times piece in his post, calling it a "great profile" of Costolo but adding he wanted "to clarify a few points."
Dorsey said that he has returned the majority of his time to Square, which has made big news recently in announcing a new round of funding and a partnership with Starbucks that will put the payments service in the ubiquitous coffee shop chain's locations. He spends Tuesday afternoons at Twitter, a practice he had even before returning to the company last year, Dorsey wrote.
