HONOLULU - Dana Takahara-Dias is out as University of Hawaii head women's basketball coach, athletic director Jim Donovan announced Wednesday.
The announcement came just hours after Takahara-Dias' third season with the Rainbow Wahine ended with a loss to Louisiana Tech in the quarterfinals of the Western Athletic Conference tournament in Las Vegas.
Under Takahara-Dias, the Rainbow Wahine compiled a 32-58 record, 15-31 in conference play.

Takahara-Dias was hired to replace Jim Bolla in May 2009. Bolla was fired amid allegations he kicked one of his players.
A former player and assistant under legendary UH coach Vince Goo, this was Takahara-Dias' first collegiate head coaching job.
"I really appreciate everything Dana has done to move the program forward, especially in regards to off the court issues," Donovan said in a statement. "That said, our expectation is that we have a winning, successful program on the court and that is why we are making the change."
A press release from the school said a national search for a replacement will begin immediately.
Earlier Wednesday, the sixth-seeded Rainbow Wahine ended their season at 11-19 after falling to third-seeded Louisiana Tech 63-54 at the Orleans Arena.
Kamilah Jackson recorded her 16th double-double of the season with 17 points and 16 rebounds before fouling out with 17 seconds left. Vicky Tagalicod added 13 points and Alissa Campanero had 12.
Molokai High School graduate Kalei Adolpho had three rebounds, two blocks and two turnovers in 11 minutes. She finishes her first year with the Rainbow Wahine with averages of 6.0 points and 6.4 rebounds in 19.4 minutes per game.
Jasmine Bendolph had 20 points and Shantale Bramble-Donaldson had 13 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Lady Techsters (16-14).

Since the ANS is a visceral motor system, afferent pathways are of no importance and actually are rarely found.
The autonomic nervous system may cause activation or inhibition, depending on the division that is active and the target that is affected.
Acetylcholine is the substance released by the axonal endings of the somatic efferent fibers and by the parasympathetic nerve fiber endings.
Through direct neural stimulation, the sympathetic division promotes many metabolic effects via hormone release.
Cranial nerves VII, IX, and X contain postganglionic fibers of the parasympathetic nervous system.
In contrast to the parasympathetic division, the sympathetic division has numerous ganglionic neurons in the gray matter of the spinal cord.
The blood vessels of the skin are one of the few areas of the body where the vessels are innervated by both the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions.
Since many of the same cardiac cells are innervated by both parasympathetic and sympathetic fibers, the influence of the two divisions on the heart is synergistic.
sympathetic stimulation
The secretions of the adrenal medulla act to supplement the effects of ________.
has two efferent neurons
In contrast to the somatic nervous system, the autonomic nervous system ________.
sympathetic nervous system
Preparing the body for the ʺfight-or-flightʺ response is the role of the ________.
organs and by short postganglionic fibers
The parasympathetic nervous system is characterized by peripheral ganglia near the ________.
a beta-blocker

single preganglionic axons make multiple synapses with ganglionic neurons
Sympathetic responses generally are widespread because ________.
The parasympathetic fibers of the ________ nerves innervate smooth muscles of the lens of the eye, the muscles that cause the eye to bulge to accommodate close vision.
splanchnic nerves
Fibers that enter and leave the sympathetic chain without synapsing form structures called ________.
is directly controlled by the reticular formation of the brain stem
The autonomic nervous system ________.
represents a return of reflex activity with no controls from higher centers
The mass reflex reaction ________.
the distal portion of the large intestine fails to develop parasympathetic innervation
In congenital megacolon (Hirschsprungʹs disease) ________.
clogging of preganglionic axon terminals with filaments

Missouri conservation agents are reporting another black bear sighting farther north in the state than usual.
Agent David Harms snapped a photo of a black bear in a field in Benton County on Tuesday.
Officials said it might be the same bear recently spotted in Barton, Vernon and Bates counties.
Black bears are somewhat common in the Ozarks region of southern Missouri, but they don't often head to the west-central part of the state.
Officials said bears don't pose a threat to humans unless they are threatened. It is illegal to kill one unless there's an immediate threat to life and property.

"Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes of human dental calculus: a potentially new non-destructive proxy for paleodietary analysis":
ScienceDirect.com - Journal of Archaeological Science - Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes of human dental calculus: a potentially new non-destructive proxy for paleodietary analysisAbstract
Fifty-eight dental calculus samples from medieval and post-medieval skeletons from Vitoria, Spain, and a single sample from an Alaskan Inuit were tested for stable carbon and nitrogen isotope compositions. There was sufficient carbon and nitrogen concentrations to obtain δ13C and δ15N values, and the samples from Spain produced results that were replicable and comparable to European isotope values based on bone collagen collected from literature sources. The Alaskan Inuit calculus sample yielded a δ15N value of +17.5‰, well beyond the range of the Spanish samples, but consistent with literature data for modern Greenlandic Inuit consuming a diet rich in marine food. There are several potential sources for carbon and nitrogen in calculus. The results of this study yield stable isotope values consistent with those obtained from other biomaterials used as isotope proxies for paleodietary research, including bone collagen, hair, and fingernails, although further work is necessary to verify the fidelity of calculus as an isotope proxy. Many studies in bioarchaeology are precluded by curatorial concerns regarding the destructive analysis of primary biomaterials. However, calculus is an "add-on", or secondary biomaterial, that is not an integral part of the dental or skeletal system. Hence, its consumption during analysis is technically not destructive. Therefore, isotope analysis of dental calculus may provide a potential new avenue for paleodietary analysis where the use of other primary biomaterials is precluded
Also, isn't this interesting?
A regional investigation of subadult dietary patterns and health in late Iron Age and Roman Dorset, England
This is the first regional analysis of the impact of Romanisation on subadult dietary patterns and related health parameters in Britain. A sample of 200 subadults from late Iron Age (LIA) and Romano-British (RB) Dorset were examined for dental health and specific metabolic diseases, and a sub-sample of 29 individuals were selected for nitrogen and carbon isotope analysis. The results showed that dental health declined in the Romano-British period and the incidence of scurvy and rickets rose. Increased consumption of marine foods in the RB period is indicated by an increase in δ13C between the LIA and RB subadults. After early childhood, there was no age-dependent variation in dietary protein in the RB and LIA populations from Dorset. We propose that these changes related to the introduction of urban living, Romanised diets and population migration.
It sounds like the "Romanised diet" may have been something of the Iron Age equivalent of what Weston Price called "the displacing foods of modern commerce" in the 19th and 20th centuries. Empire bringing worse nutrition in its wake.
Maybe Monty Python had it wrong and the answer to "What did the Romans do for us?" should be the less positive answer: "Rot our teeth and cause scurvy and rickets."

Just a couple of weeks ago Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin had her email address hacked, after someone by-passed her password after guessing the answer to the "secret question".
She was obviously targeted because of her status, but that doesn't mean it can't happen to you. With the average internet user having around 25 online profiles, a secure password is vital to ensure your safety online. The majority people are lazy though. They spend so much time on the net that it's easier for people to use a simple password that has relevance to them, and is generally short. Remarkably, even though reports of cyber-crime and identity theft are through the roof, people still use passwords like "god", "abc123" or the classically bad, "password". These people can be loosely defined as idiots.
A solid password doesn't have to be difficult, but it should be at least eight characters long and ALWAYS contain a mix of letters and numbers, and if you want to be extra secure – symbols.
Here's a good way of building a secure, and hopefully memorable password.
• I'll start with the word: technologynews (14 characters)
• Right, now let's substitute some of the letters for numbers: t3chn010gyn3ws
• Already that's pretty solid, but to make it extra tough you could capitalise some of the letters: T3cHn010gYn3wS
That leaves us with a pretty tough password that you need to memorise. It's not too hard to memorise one password like this, but unless you have a photographic memory, then you'll struggle to remember a further 24 passwords if you fall into the average net user category.
It's fair to say that this password is no way the toughest in the world. You could go military style and uses something like 8Uji#ge3s9%=vw2L93VuX>hT:5tPg. When it comes to security, especially if it's your business, then you should make it as tough as possible.
One way of remembering all your new passwords is to utilise a password manager. These are readily available either online or local and the majority offer 'one-click-login' so you don't even have to remember your gobbledygook.

There is no reason to criticize the author for an important defect in this book, since it is manifestly impossible for any one person to survey adequately the literature covering three years of intensive investigation in the field. The material included is sound, attractively presented and judiciously evaluated. Nevertheless it is not a complete review, a fact which the author acknowledges in the preface to the fourth edition. The last chapter, on endocrine interrelationships, is especially inadequate, since it largely disregards the many developments of the past five years in what has come to be designated psychosomatic relations or psychobiology. The bibliography for the chapter on the parathyroid glands should be revised more completely, as it apparently contains many items no longer referred to in the text. The book is less extensive than the third edition by nearly thirty pages but in general follows the same style and arrangement.

Nineteenth Century Panel Sessions on German Modernism/Modernity: Unique or Universal?
We would like to explore the meaning, experience, and ramifications of modernity throughout the long nineteenth century (and maybe even continue some discussions from earlier GSA panels on Modernity and the Baroque). Panels already in the planning stages include two roundtables centered on recent books (with the authors present as commentators), both of which engage this theme but from very different perspectives. The first book, Walter Frisch's German Modernism: Music and the Arts, represents an important and long overdue effort to bring music into the debates on modernism and its origins within the central European cultural space. Similar in its outstanding treatment of a long-neglected aspect of German modernity, David Blackbourn's Conquest of Nature brings the interdisciplinary perspective of environmental history to bear in a study of the "rationalization" of Germany's waterscape.
We envision sessions that span the late Enlightenment to the early twentieth century. Germany is understood as inclusive of all German Central Europe. We encourage scholars working in all disciplines: art history, music, literature, architecture, political science, urban studies, history, etc. Our goal is to develop panels that will reach across disciplines and traditional frameworks. We have a range of suggested panel themes (which are by no means written in stone) listed below, but also welcome suggestions and new ideas. If you are interested in giving a paper or commenting or chairing a session, please contact Katherine Aaslestad (firstname.lastname@example.com). As the final deadline for the completed sessions in February 15, please indicate your interest and/or suggestions prior to January 30 so that we have time to structure the panels for submission.
Ideas for panels:
Mapping Modernism across German Central Europe
Modernity in Visual Culture
Reframing the Avant-Garde
Consuming Images and Marketing Modernism
Romanticism and Realism: Defining isms in Modern Forms
The Modernization of Musical Culture
From the Emotional to the Rational?
The Business of Art and Music
The Dangers of Modernism
Cityscapes and/or Landscapes of Modernity
Reappraising Modern Texts
Innovative Living Spaces: Public and Domestic
Control and Freedom in Society and Culture
Health, Medicine, and Hygiene
Commodities and Markets
Media and Publics
Modernism in Education, Bildung, and Culture
Gendered Modernity?
The Secular and the Sacred
Modernity in forms and networks of Sociability
The Rise of Modern Family?
Urban Life as Modernity
Modern Warfare in context of the Nineteenth Century
Political Representations of Power in Public Life

I'm with you, anecdotes x 7 billion are stronger than bad science. Will I keep what I've learned? Yes! Is worry worse that bad pizza twice a year? Very yes.
Sounds like you've made the distinction between health vs. fitness. A good perspectuve to keep! I'm on board with that too, even though - and it's true - food did give me the abs I was always looking for. But that's just vanity, not health or fitness!

|This Best Practice is one of
Best Practices for Human Settlements
presented in the MOST Clearing House
Best Practices Database.
The experience of municipal management in Diadema can only be understood when analysed within its legal-institutional and political context. The Brazilian municipalities, while already enjoying a considerable amount of autonomy, gained even more autonomy with the new constitution of 1988 and, complementary, new responsibilities (for example, the municipalities have the autonomy to implement their own land use laws, which are approved by a local parliament and can implement sectorial policies on land, housing and urban services). In addition to this, the constitution introduced new concepts like the social function of property which, although not defined in a sufficiently clear way, allows for the implementation of new urban instruments by the municipality, linking the land use to social welfare.
Diadema has proven to know how to use this "autonomy" in order to increase the democratic content of city management and to increase the access of citizens to the results of this management. The elaboration of a new Master Plan for urban development, the municipal control of health and sanitation services, the environmental preservation policies and the policy on financing the city are all examples of this.
The other context is related with the political program of the actual administration in Diadema and with the political continuity. The strong political compromise of the party that have administrated Diadema since 13 years, among others in terms of fighting against social exclusion, increasing the democratic content of local management, stimulating community participation and income redistribution, has set the tone of this local government.
Diadema came to exist in 1960 when it emancipated itself from the municipality of Sao Bernardo do Campo. Its location gained importance with the expansion of Sao Paulo in the direction of S.Bernardo/Santos. Like the majority of the Brazilian cities, the economy and poverty grew hand in hand: periods with the highest rates or urbanisation and of industrial growth were at the same time the ones with the highest growth figures in terms of slum areas, illegal subdivisions and environmental degradation.
Diadema is located in the Greater S o Paulo region, has about 316.000 inhabitants, and 30,7 sq. km. 23% of its territorial is considered environmental protection area, near to the so called lake Billings. It is an exclusively urban municipality with a high population density, i.e. the second highest density of the state and the third highest in Brazil.
The land use is characterised by a mix of industries and precarious low and middle
class housing. Some 25% of the total population is living in slums (favelas, either
upgraded or without intervention), which occupy 3,5% of the municipality. The industrial
sector is predominant and responsible for absorbing 67% of the total employment in the
Urban Policy
Urban policies are being rethought as an important element en increasing the democratic
content of the process of getting access to land, urban services and a better environment.
The urban policy that is being developed by the municipality of Diadema is not limited to
spatial planning only, but explicitly incorporates views on urban questions like the
access to land and urban services. It is guided by the principle of participation of all
the agents in the management of public policies. It considers both the legal and the
existing illegal city. Planning is interpreted as a process of negotiation and interaction
of all the agents which produce the city.
Revision of the urban legislation
The Master Plan was approved in 1994, substituting the one of 1973 which was restricted
to questions of physical planning and which was by that time already outdated, considering
the conditions of accelerated growth occurring at that time.
The Master Plan turned out to be a reflection of the municipal policies oriented at restoring the quality of life of its inhabitants, establishing guidelines in the sectors of housing, environment, land use, infrastructure, transport and food, among others.
One of these guidelines, considering the necessity to design programs that attend the need of the big majority that lives in precarious housing, was for example to implement the so called special zones for low income areas, one type destined for vacant areas and the other in areas already occupied by slums. The implication is that in these zones only low income housing con be implemented, thereby reducing the price of this type of land.
The use of areas in these special zones can be done through more flexible norms, aiming at the regularisation of already occupied land and the optimisation of the available infrastructure. The municipality is stimulating partnerships with the private sector and the community, realising the access of those groups that settled themselves in the city, almost often in marginal conditions in relation to the real estate market.
The environment received special attention with the proposal of actions and normative
instruments for the development of an environmental policy which guarantees the
preservation and recuperation of an almost completely constructed environment in which the
co-existence between various activities is creating multiple conflicts and where there is
a big scarcity of green areas.
In these Preservation Areas only those activities can be allowed which are compatible
which the environmental preservation. Occupation requires a detailed study, through a so
called Special Analysis mentioned by law, aimed at adapting a particular project to the
characteristics of the surrounding environment.
These measures have proven to be effective to preserve the few remaining areas of
environmental interest, the latter being vital for the city. The instruments mentioned
were aimed at sustainable interventions using incentives for the owners, avoiding simple
and costly appropriation.
Housing Policy
In 1983, a housing policy was started which recognised the existence of slum areas. This policy proposed the upgrading of these areas, giving the guarantee to land access and community participation. From 1989 to 1992, there were interventions in 92 slum areas, representing more than 50% of the areas existing at that time. The interventions were aimed at the access to infrastructure and urban services, concentrating on the implementation of basic infrastructure, pavement and drainage.
The interventions in the initial periods were more concentrated on maintaining the maximum number of families and on upgrading the areas. Thus, instead of concluding the upgrading in concentrated areas, it was opted for a gradual approach in many years. Spreading resources meant attending more families and situations of emergencies.
Over the years, since the land became increasingly expensive, the occupation in the slums densified, many environmental risk areas continued to be occupied and many families, excluded as they were by the formal real estate market, came to life in precarious rental housing units (the so called "cortiços"). In order to be able to proceed with the upgrading activities, it is necessary to investment considerable amounts in land, public works or even the relocation of families living in environmental risk areas. Practically all of the financial resources allocated to the housing sector came from municipal budgetary sources, not depending on any higher sphere of government.
Both the ways interventions can be done and the amount of resources that go to the housing sector are being augmented. Thus, regulatory instruments for the real estate market that facilitate the access of low income groups to this market are being created.
The actual administration is concluding the upgrading of 73 slum areas, doing
interventions in 38% of the existing area, attending thereby 52% of the slum population
and 12% of the total population of the municipality. Under construction are two new
housing complexes which will attend families relocated from upgraded slums and the
"Rental Housing Movement", involving in total 2.182 families.
The public works and the improvements related with the above interventions are realised
directly by the municipality, either through the contracting of construction firms,
through mutual self help groups, through a combination of construction firms, municipal
management and mutual self help groups or finally through outright self management by the
community itself. The ultimate mix of implementation that will be chosen is related with
the complexity of the works to be implemented and with the level of organisation of the
Environmental Policy
The type of urban development in Diadema, like all over the world, has resulted in environmental damage, like flooding, erosion, diseases and pollution. The corrective measures that are required are many and some of them have been started by the municipal government through upgrading programs, plantation of trees, separate collection of solid waste, implementation of areas for leisure, recuperation of degraded areas and environmental education.
In order for an environmental policy to be defined in collaboration with the community, so as to safeguard its actual implementation, the Municipal Advisory Council for the Environment was established en June 1993. It is a advisory and deliberative body with representation of the principal organised segments of the city. This discussion forum allows that environmental questions are debated in order to aim at collective solutions.
In addition, there is a so called Municipal Fund for the Environment, directed at giving financial support to the environmental programs. Its main revenues stem from the results of dispositions and penalties.
The proposed guidelines for the various environmental control measures follow the philosophy of the sustainable development concept and can be characterised by the key words orientation, partnerships and integration.
The main city wealth available, the own water supply, is in a very deteriorated state as regards to human consumption. In order to revert this condition, the local government has looked for partnerships with the private sector to realise a monitoring system of the water flows and, with the collected data, to implement a plan for the recovery of the water quality.
One of the most difficult questions to be resolved is the solid waste disposal problem. The city produces daily some 200 ton of domestic solid waste. Not having enough area for the final disposal, Diadema is obliged to send it to other municipalities at high costs. Diadema has sought and found multiple and integrated solutions, like the implementation of a transfer station and the recycling plant.
The municipal environmental policy of Diadema is integrated with the principles of
Agenda 21, by taking the principles of sustainable development as a model. By the
characteristics of the municipality, the social issue is treated as a priority and the
process of transformation is oriented towards the improvement of the quality of life of
the city's inhabitants.
Socio Economic Development
The actual administration is starting a process of opening up the discussion about the local socio economic development. Business entities and unions, research institutes and the interested community are all participating in this debate on al equal basis. The process is aimed at stimulating the local economic development, giving incentives to job creation and improving the quality of the existing jobs. In addition, bottlenecks on local economic development and potentials are to be highlighted by this process.
Through this discussion, Diadema plans to elaborate a Local Economic Development Plan for the city. As one of the first steps, the administration realised an economic census in the municipality of Diadema through which all the industrial, commercial and service units, both formal and informal, were registered.
Economic Viability of Social Programs
Over the past few year, the municipality has proven to be able to increase the rhythm
of investment in sectors like education, health, housing and basic sanitation. This has
all the more been al accomplishment since these expenditures have predominantly been
financed by its own budgetary resources. The municipality's own finances have improved
over time for basically two reasons. The first is an increase in the property tax. In
addition, the economic base of the city has steadily improved, especially thanks to the
more flexible approval for informal enterprise and the continuing influx of new
enterprises to the city.
The Democratisation of City Management
Already a lot is known about the chaotic situation of the majority of the Brazilian
cities and the cities in Latin America. Its poverty, related with the lack of income and
employment, basic sanitation, health and decent housing conditions, is growing; just like
the rates of environmental degradation and of deterioration of the quality of life of the
Despite of knowing the limitations of a local government in dealing with the above
mentioned questions, the municipal administration of the city of Diadema has assumed its
political responsibility in this matter, promoting integrated municipal sectoral policies
and fighting social exclusion and environmental degradation. A new way of city management,
a strong political compromise and the political continuity all helped to realise the
consolidation of policies and programs oriented towards the improvement of the quality of
life of its inhabitants.
The municipal administration of Diadema is not only implementing urban services and public works, but is principally working on a participate style of management in which all the inhabitants can express their points of view on the allocation of resources, on the ranking of priority investments and on the sectoral policies. The democratisation is optimising the public investments, attending the majority of the population.

Are you using the 32-bit or 64-bit version of XBMC for Mac OS X? I know there was an issue with one or the other and another audio codec, so maybe the same thing happened with FLAC (just a guess).

LISBON - Longtime village police Chief John "Buck" Higgins is retiring at the end of the year, and Mayor Dan Bing said the search for a replacement will not be limited to members of the department only.
"My intention is to open it to anyone to make sure all the bases are covered," Bing said during Monday's Village Council meeting after reading Higgins' retirement letter.
Higgins, who has more than 30 years in law enforcement, intends to use up his remaining vacation time from Oct. 5 through Dec. 31, his last official day on the job
Village Fiscal Officer Tracey Wonner said Higgins will still be owed for 240 hours of unused vacation time - the maximum a village employee can collect upon retirement - because he had accumulated a significant amount of unused vacation time. In addition, Higgins will also be owed for 200 hours of unused sick time.
Wonner estimated the cost to the village will be $10,100, and she said there should be enough unappropriated money in the village budget to pay Higgins, who recently returned to work after being off for about two months due to shoulder surgery.
Councilman Joe Morenz wondered if they were required to consider outside applicants for the job, and Bing advised him the mayor has sole responsibility for filling the chief's position.
There was also some discussion on whether the next chief would have to live in Lisbon Higgins does not -and officer Mike Abraham, who attended the meeting, said there is a law on the books requiring a new chief to move into town with a year of being hired, but council can also waive the requirement.
Bing said he will confer with Higgins before deciding who to name as interim police chief until a permanent replacement is chosen.
"We'll make sure we get the right person in the office to continue the good standard of service," he said.

Industrial Distribution Group partnered with Makita Power Tools and Makita Assembly Tools, through IDG's Customer Engagement Program, to host the NHRA Drag Race April 19, 20 & 21, in Charlotte, NC. This served as the official announcement of IDG's strategic partnership with Makita Assembly Tools. Many of IDG's customers attended the race giving Makita a lot of great publicity and visibility within the industrial market.
What is IDG's Customer Engagement Program?
Several times throughout the year, IDG participates in NHRA drag races across the country, and we open our doors for select suppliers to sponsor the race with us. The three-day engagement program is educational, interactive and it produces documented results. By partnering in this, sponsors receive publicity through promotional materials, direct interaction with potential clients, and exclusive use of IDG's customized hospitality trailer that features a kitchen, living room, conference table and Direct TV. We do all the preparation; the only thing the supplier partners have to set up is their own product engagement area. From great entertainment to food, drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), ample seating, and, of course, our expertise, IDG ensures that the sponsorships are both fun and successful networking events. Plus, interacting in the race provides access to see how other teams could use your products and may give you some great marketing ideas.
Continuing Sales Education
Friday, the first day of the event, is earmarked for training of IDG sales and customer service on the supplier partner's products. IDG provides two iPad stations showcasing IDGsupply.com. Guests can browse our E-commerce platforms, view racing highlights, take pictures to email to customers and friends, and participate in social media in real time. This is a great way to learn about our E-commerce strategies as well as our business plans for the site moving forward.
A Focus on Entertainment
We provide an experience for our customers that the normal race fan couldn't get. Guests receive a "hands on" experience, from a meet and greet with several NHRA drivers such as Rickie Smith, Steve Torrence and Dave Connolly; a VIP tour of the pit areas where you can watch other pit crews; watching the race from "hidden pockets," or VIP areas of the track; and participation in a variety of contests throughout the weekend where participants win sponsor products. Racing game simulators offer a real time drag racing experience; however we must warn you, it has been known to get a little competitive.
How does our Customer Engagement Program help your company succeed?
No one knows your product better than you do. Having the chance to speak one-on-one with IDG's sales team and customers is an invaluable asset. It gives you the opportunity to educate them on your product and your company.
To give you more presence at the event, we add your company's decal branding on the hospitality trailer. Plus, we can arrange four 30-second radio spots with radio host Joe Castello. Joe hosts NHRA Racing Internet radio, with WFO Radio, and has over 10,000 listeners weekly.
Social media reinforcement is included in the package. You can choose your ten favorite fan pages to post on throughout the weekend. We will post a minimum of three posts per day, including graphics showing your product. For added exposure we also post on our drivers' fan pages, the IDG Racing fan page, and IDG's twitter page three times per day. You can request an informal YouTube video highlighting an IDG driver engaging in your products; and if you support a charitable cause, we can tie that in with our drivers via social media and event marketing.
The IDGsupply.com Advantage – another way that we offer brand awareness to our sponsors apart from the race. This racing package includes placement of a hero banner and a side button promotional box on the IDGsupply.com homepage. We help to increase your sales by placing your products at the top of the IDGsupply search and showing "others purchased" on our browser, highlighting additional merchandise customers may want to buy. We showcase new products you are selling on our site, show video demos of your products, and dedicate a landing page for your promotions.
Other services we provide are an email campaign, articles on the IDGsupply.com blog and an eight to ten page promotional catalog. These showcase your participation in IDG Racing and inform customers of your products racing specials.
In order to see the impact that our program has on your company, we provide the sponsor with a dashboard of regional sales activity six months pre race and six months post. Post race dashboards will be provided monthly so we can make course corrections along the way.
Let us know if you are an IDG supplier interested in partnering in one of our events. We have three different sponsorship levels – Platinum, Gold, and Friends of Racing. If you are a customer and would like tickets to one of our races, contact us for more information:

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue we wish to focus on the use of nanomaterials in MEMS and NEMS. We encourage reviews where nanomaterials have already made a significant contribution in this area: for example, increased functionality, novel processing or new areas of application, etc. We are particularly interested in papers which an application bias, especially comparison is made with other materials systems in MEMS and NEMS. Articles on design, fabrication, characterization and testing of MEMS/NEMS will be welcome. Articles exploring future leading edge opportunities are also welcome, where new materials may yet make an impact. The overall aim of this Special Issue is to provide a timely "snap-shot" of this exciting area, of value to technologists, scientists and innovators alike.

Perhaps you remember Anne Grimes just for her presence in Granville. Before she died at 91 in 2004, she had lived in the village for about 30 years, hosting scores of students in her home, and she was married to James Grimes, who was chair of Denison's art department until his retirement in 1969.
But what Anne Grimes may be most remembered for his her music, and the music of others from all over Ohio, which she worked for years to record and catalogue.
Grimes spent the 1950s traversing the highways and byways of Ohio, on a mission to collect and preserve folk songs that had been passed down through generations of families.
To find the music and the people who knew it best, she performed at small gatherings (she was a trained musician, after all) and would ask if anyone in the audience knew a song like any of the ones they had just heard. Many people would come forward, remembering songs that their parents and grandparents had sung back in the day, and they would then invite Grimes over to their house with her 50-lb. tape recorder.
Grimes' four daughters—Sara, Jennifer '66, Mary '69 and Mindy—recently compiled their mother's work into one volume, "Stories from the Anne Grimes Collection of American Folk Music." It is a detailed record of all the Ohio citizens who Grimes interviewed, complete with photos and printed lyrics.
She also collected dulcimers—fretted, stringed instruments that originated in Appalachian country with folk music. "She loved unaccompanied singing," Anne's daughters said on WOSU's All Sides with Ann Fisher, "but she loved the simplicity of the dulcimer."
Grimes' collection of 42 dulcimers is now in the Smithsonian Museum, and her taped interviews are in the Library of Congress.
To read more about Anne Grimes, check out the new issue of Columbus Monthly.

Dear Readers: We feel that it is important to keep
you, the aviation professionals who contribute to, and
benefit from, the Aviation Safety Reporting System,
informed about the status of the program. The ASRS has
been flat funded by the FAA since 1997 and experienced
a 20% funding shortfall in 2005. While the future budget
has not been finalized, indications are that the situation
could be even worse in FY '06
reports represent two schools of thought. ASRS offers first-hand
accounts detailing either close calls or disasters averted
by taking the proper course of action. These reports often
contain valuable insights into human factors and there is
no "cost" to those who report to ASRS. NTSB reports
are second-hand narratives that often include statements from
witnesses. Being the subject of an NTSB report can cost you

the experience of others. Whichever school you prefer, learn

is a commonly used term for patches of low, ragged clouds
that often form below an overcast. "Scud-running"
refers to the practice of flying beneath the scud to avoid
Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) and usually involves
a violation of Visual Flight Rules (VFR) cloud clearance criteria.
Statistically, scud-running is an extremely dangerous practice
that accounts for a high percentage of weather related, General

Final testimony in Plymouth pit projectNovember 20,2012Final testimony in pit project
PLYMOUTH The deadline for final documents and arguments in the Act 250 permit case of the proposed Frog City Gravel pit is approaching.
All parties in the case, including Hawk Mountain Resort area homeowners, are asked to submit filings to the commission, in response to anything thats been previously submitted, including a requirement that the application conform with local and regional plans for development.
The deadline is 4:30 p.m. Nov. 30.
By Dec. 19 at 4:30 p.m., all parties are asked to submit proposed findings and conclusions of law.
This is the last step before the regional Act 250 commission, based in Springfield, makes a decision to issue a permit or not, according to Linda Matteson, district coordinator.
The project, proposed by town Select Board chairman Ralph Michael, is to reopen a gravel pit used during Tropical Storm Irene recovery for commercial operation.
The plan has drawn controversy from some neighbors concerned about noise and traffic from the pit.

So if you were to eliminate foods to see if you have an intolerance to them what would you eliminate and why and what are some of the sign/signals that you are looking for....in other words, how did you tune into your body's quirks
So if you were to eliminate foods to see if you have an intolerance to them what would you eliminate and why and what are some of the sign/signals that you are looking for....in other words, how did you tune into your body's quirks
I'll tell you how I happened to give up some of the foods I had to give up.
My daughter is now 30. When I was pregnant I traveled with my parents to my sister's wedding. My mother browbeat me into drinking milk all weekend, because obviously it was necessary for the baby, especially because I didn't drink milk generally. I had the most uncomfortable belly bloat all weekend. When I got home I just spontaneously went on a fruit fast that lasted about half a day, at which point the bloat suddenly disappeared. Aha! I said and never drank fresh milk again. At least at that point I was aware of what lactose intolerance was, because my father had it. There wasn't that much general awareness of it at that time.
Fast forward to about 2004, when I was overweight and finding walking painful on my swollen feet. I had a job where I had to park in a residential neighborhood almost a mile away when I worked a day shift. Ouch, once I sat down I didn't get up even to talk to the boss lady in the next room. I had been doing all my own baking (except for buying artisan bread and pastries) and pasta making. I recall at that point I was even enjoying farro and kamut pilafs. Then suddenly I felt the need to give up carbs for a few days. Though I had cut back before, this time was different. Perhaps I had merely cut back on the wheat previously. Within 24 hours the swelling in my feet was almost gone and I could walk without pain. No more wheat for me! I never looked back.
Later I developed some sort of intestinal inflammation that I felt was caused by the heavy cream I was putting in my coffee. Darn, giving up dairy? After a few days I made coffee with almond milk and got sick again. So back to dairy, no more coffee for me.
Same thing with wine. Some types bother me, but I've never been able to figure out which is which. So I only drink it when dining out.
Later after eating many dozens of eggs I developed a sensitivity to them and had to cut back to 1 or fewer a day on average. Only a few days ago I completed a challenge which showed I can eat egg yolks in unlimited quantity.
I'm pretty sure avocado gives me headaches... I haven't cut it out entirely but I'm eating maybe 1/5th of an avocado each day (I like it on my salads) rather than the 1/2 to 1 avocado I used to eat daily... possibly when I run out of them I won't buy anymore.

By The Associated Press
BALTIMORE — The Boston Red Sox maintained a share of the AL wild-card lead Tuesday night, using four home runs to beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-7 and set up a dramatic conclusion to the regular season.
The skidding Red Sox were 6-19 in September before rebounding to edge the last-place Orioles. The win, combined with Tampa Bay's 5-3 victory over the New York Yankees, kept Boston and the Rays tied with one game left.
After blowing a nine-game lead in the span of 23 days, the Red Sox will send Jon Lester (15-9) to the mound against Baltimore on Wednesday night in an effort to get into the postseason for the fourth time in five years. Lester, Boston's winningest pitcher, will be throwing on three days' rest.
Surging Rays win again, beat Yankees 5-3
The Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Matt Joyce and Ben Zobrist homered Tuesday night, helping the surging Tampa Bay Rays continue their improbable chase for the AL wild card with a 5-3 victory over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night.
The Rays, seeking their third playoff berth in four seasons, began the night tied with Boston after making up nine games in the standings since Sept. 4.
Joyce's three-run homer off former teammate Rafael Soriano (2-3) was the All-Star's first in more than three weeks and wiped out a 3-2 deficit in the seventh. Zobrist hit a two-run drive off Bartolo Colon in the second, and the Rays kept the score close by turning the third triple play in franchise history after falling behind in the sixth.
Jake McGee (4-2) pitched one scoreless inning to get the win. With a crowd of 22,820 standing and cheering, Kyle Farnsworth got the final three outs for his 25th save in 31 chances. The victory was the fourth straight for Tampa Bay.

Following Grandfather by Rosemary Wells; illustrated by Christopher Denise; Candlewick Press, 58 pages ($14.99).
The incomparable Rosemary Wells, who has written and/or illustrated more than 120 books for children including the Ruby and Max books, the haunting "Lincoln and His Boys" and mysteries "The Man in the Woods" and "When No One Was Looking," offers a beautifully written story of a child dealing with the loss of a loved one in the form of a mouse and her beloved grandfather. Much of the magic comes from Wells' vivid description of a world within a world, in a real time and place: Boston in the mid-20th century, beautifully realized in Denise's gorgeous black and white illustrations. She begins: "Down at the very end of Revere Beach, where the people never go, the mice of Boston spread their towels and plant their beach umbrellas in the sun." This is also a lovely treatment of the American immigrant experience; Jenny's grandfather crossed the ocean from Italy – "he stowed away in a coil of rope under a cleat" on the steamship Leonardo da Vinci – and opened a restaurant for mice in the attic of Salvadore's "featuring daily specials from the kitchen downstairs." Once Jenny is born, her grandfather becomes her guardian, teaching her "how to button my buttons and how to draw J for Jenny." He takes her to the beach, offers words of wisdom to soothe the hurt when she is insulted by the snobby mice "who lived in the home of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Jr." (among several hilarious slaps at Boston's bluebloods). Other wonders of this mouse world include "specialty boutiques run by mice" in the storage rooms and air shafts of Jordan Marsh and Filene's department stores, where her grandfather takes Jenny to try on clothes she can't afford. ("it is important that you are able to go anywhere and say to the richest girl, 'Oh, I tried on those shoes last week. They look much better on you.") Along with these pearls of wisdom, he tells her stories, teaches her about shells. Death is abrupt, as death often is, and Jenny in her grief imagines she sees him everywhere. But Wells wraps things up on a hopeful note.

Sacrifice Fly by Tim O'Mara; Minotaur, 320 pages ($24.99)
Redemption can come in myriad forms. In Tim O'Mara's intriguing debut, one man's atonement comes in the form of a life-affirming career change — from being an intuitive cop to a concerned teacher.
Raymond Donne left the Brooklyn police force soon after he saved one child while on duty but inadvertently caused the death of a teenager. The incident also left him disabled. Now he teaches in a Brooklyn school.
Ray was able to get eighth grader Frankie Rivas a complete scholarship to a private school because of his skills on the baseball diamond. But the scholarship also hinges on keeping up his grades, so Ray is concerned when Frankie has been missing from school for more than a week.
But this is more than a truant child. Ray discovers the battered body of Frankie's father; Frankie and his younger sister, Milagros, are missing. Did Frankie snap, finally fed up with this abusive father; or are the brother and sister victims?
Ray is a complex character who is conflicted about being drawn back into a police investigation. But because he is no longer a cop, Ray is excluded by the cops from the details of the investigation and has no legal standing as he tries to follow clues that he uncovers. Ray learns that straddling the boundaries of his current occupation and his former career can be uncomfortable.

Private Lands, Conflict, and Institutional Evolution in the Post-Public-Lands West
Jerrold A. Long
University of Idaho College of Law
November 1, 2010
Pace Environmental Law Review (PELR), Vol. 28, p. 670, 2011
As rural communities experience amenity-driven population growth and globalizing cultures and economic systems, community land-use regimes must react to and implement emerging land-use ideologies. A growing community must balance the interests of the entities that benefit from growth – i.e., the growth machine – and the potentially restructuring community understandings of the purpose of land. This conflict is particularly intense in areas that benefit both economically and culturally from high quality natural amenities – one part of the community might seek to increase development to benefit from those amenities, while another might seek to protect them. This article engages in a theoretical and empirical exploration that seeks to answer a single question: Why, in the face of those competing land-use ideologies, might a community choose to adopt a more resource-protective, or resource-sustaining, land-use regime? This article follows three distinct theoretical pathways to where they converge in two specific communities, and then engages in an empirical assessment of the land-use conditions on the ground in those communities. I ultimately conclude that because a community can only understand the value of a particular choice by experiencing its effects, a legal evolution toward resource-protective, or resource-sustaining, land-use regimes only occurs after the valued resources are harmed – a result we might like to avoid. For that reason, the crux on the path toward sustainability is to accurately imagine – before directly witnessing – the consequences of the alternatives available to us.

History essay help - Why did America reject joining the League of Nations?
|Posted on
|Take our short survey, £100 of Amazon vouchers to be won!
Help help help help help :-(
America as a whole became very isolationist after the end of the first world war, steering well clear of anything that would threaten peace. Wilson himself, as you might expect seeing as it was his brainchild, wanted to join the league but congress saw it as too risky to the future stability of the country. It would involve committing large parts of their army to solve disputes that may not even affect them and would also cost a lot of money. America would have been the main force behind the League but because they did not join, a lot of the time, the league was powerless to uphold its sanctions, such as banning oil to Italy during the Abyssinian crisis. Or actually getting things done, it took them over a year to rule Japanese invasion of manchuria as unlawful and they still didn't do anything about it.
I'm new to this forum and If anyone needs help in History pm me. I have got decent grades in History (99 average) so know a bit about it. :P .
