I need someone to integrate my current magento website design into a excisting template.
Reason for this is, the current html/css on the old site is messed up. I found a fully working responsive template, which i want to customize with some aspects of my old design (graphical wise).
It are only small design edits, not a whole template change.
I have already made the designs, they mostly just need to be converted to html/css and integrated into the template, after that the responsiveness of the template must be evaluated and optimized.
I will buy the responsive template and provide it to you.
Only apply, if:
- Excellent knowledge of css/html and responsive web design.
- u have more then 100 odesk hours with a rating of 4,50+
- can finnish it withing 1,5 week
- have clear top experience/portfolio in magento design
- Your English is good.
- Don't apply with a standard copy/paste apply text.

THERE WAS A considerable amount of uncertainty in the press box about the appropriate terminology to describe the gesture that Ryan Braun made after he had popped the meat thermometer on the Phillies for a second straight game.
To one scribe, it looked like a conductor directing an orchestra.
To another, it looked like a rapper bouncing with his audience.
One's perspective may depend in part upon one's age. Whatever the case, the message was clear. So was the implication. The National League isn't going to like Braun when he is angry.

Author Talk: Frank Schaeffer from PPLD TV on Vimeo. [Read more…]
Frank's book is called Why I'm an Atheist Who Believes in God. I had the pleasure of editing an early draft of the book for Frank, and I have to say it's one of the most powerful, heartfelt, challenging books I've read in a long time. It was just released today in paperback for a [Read More…]
It's called And God Said, Billy!, and in my opinion, it's one of the best things Frank has ever written. The product of 17 years of working out his own salvation with fear, trembling, anger and a radical encounter with grace, the novel is a biting satire of the fundamentalist Christian subculture Frank left behind [Read More…]
It's called And God Said, Billy. I first read it in the summer of 2012. I liked it so much I agreed to adapt it into a screenplay. Brian McLaren also endorses the novel, saying it takes the reader "deep into the shallow psyche of a sincere Charismatic-Evangelical whose God fails him. That failure turns [Read More…]
That's when we first screened Hellbound? in public. It was an inauspicious beginning. About 40 people–and two pigs–turned up for the 11pm showing of what was billed as a "mystery item" in the schedule. It took place in a tent with fireflies occasionally flickering across the screen. I was pretty tense seeing as it was going [Read More…]
Over the past several months Hellbound? has kept me more than busy with screenings, DVD/VOD preparations (Available May 28!), delivery to broadcasters and an endless stream of other details you never fully anticipate when setting out to produce, market and distribute an independent film. But when you lead the kind of life I do, you [Read More…]
We are expecting a large crowd tonight at the Belcourt Theater here in Nashville. Frank Schaeffer, Michael Hardin and I will being doing a Q&A following the screening. After that, we are heading across the street to continue the conversation at the Fido Cafe. Everything gets underway at 7pm. I hope to see you there! [Read more…]

For businesses that could open, Tuesday was a hectic day filled with many customers and few employees.
When a bad storm hits, state, county and city transportation departments grab their respective priority lists and start chipping away at the highest traveled roads under their jurisdiction.
Potentially dangerous road conditions have forced area schools to close for a third day this week.
Call it the silver lining to the winter storm clouds and their icy wake - crime is down in Hall County.
Haiti's earthquake caused huge devastation one year ago today, but it also shook up Hall County residents who have poured their lives into the tiny island nation.
AFTERNOON UPDATE: Road conditions have begun improving slightly as the temperature rose above freezing today, but that doesn't necessarily translate to an easy ride to work or elsewhere Wednesday morning.
UPDATE: A freezing rain advisory has been issued until 9 a.m. Tuesday for Hall County.
Gainesville City Schools, Hall County Schools and other systems across the state are closed again today as temperatures refuse to ease conditions on area roads.
There's a hill at City Park in Gainesville that drops down at a steep decline, plateaus and then drops off again. If a sledder can clear a tree on the left and a pole on the right, they'll hit the second hill and give new life to the skid, carrying momentum down to the parking lot.
Though Gov. Nathan Deal postponed nonessential inaugural events and warned residents across the state to stay indoors, the state's lawmakers trekked the icy roads to gavel into session Monday.
Despite the weather and treacherous roads outside, both chambers of the Georgia General Assembly gaveled into session Monday morning.
Nathan Deal's first order of business as Georgia's 82nd governor - signing his desk.
Monday's inauguration seemed like a family affair.
Nathan Deal, now Georgia's 82nd governor, focused on self-reliance in tough budget times during his inaugural address.

This review is from: Manufacturer Recertified Corsair Force Series 3 CSSD-F120GB3/RF2 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) Manufactured Recertified Factory Refurbished
Pros: Hard to tell
Cons: Wasted time waiting for it to arrive because it was DOA.
Wasted postage sending its predecessor back to Corsair.
Wasted time having to troubleshoot something that should have been functional in the first place.
Do they check whether refurbed devices even work?
Other Thoughts: Today I received a CSSD-F120GB3/RF (note the absence of the number 2 at the end; no discernible difference) as the result of an RMA directly from Corsair. This drive was supposed to replace a CSSD-F115GB2-BRKT-A that had died while still in the warranty period. The SSD I received today to replace that old drive was DOA. What's the point of getting an RMA if all you're going to get in exchange is a little metal box that doesn't do anything?READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Corsair Force 2.5" 115GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CSSD-F115GB2-BRKT-A
Pros: Sped up my PC's boot time.
Cons: Died in less than 3 years without warning. Got a BSOD one day while system was booting up. Restarted PC, but then drive could not be even detected.
Other Thoughts: Pulled drive and tried accessing it via an external drive caddy. Not detected. Drive is dead and useless.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ASUS P5Q-E LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: When teamed with a fast processor, it works fast.
Cons: Was a nightmare to get working with Vista 64-bit SP1 OEM. Never got it to work, even after WEEKS of debugging and retrying, so I wound up going back to XP for a couple years, at least until Windows 7 came out. Installed Windows 7 w/ no problem!
Other Thoughts: My problem may have been drivers, but I figured that I mitigated that in the first place by waiting until SP1 of Windows Vista had come out. Don't think I'll buy another motherboard right after it is introduced. Wait until a mobo has been out on the market for a while!READ FULL REVIEW

Two women continue to recover in hospital today after a head-on crash involving a convertible Audi on Auckland's Tamaki Drive last night.
At least one person was cut from the wreckage and police were investigating what roles alcohol and speed played in the crash.
Acting Sergeant Dylan Hannah-Jones said the injured were "very lucky'' to escape without life-threatening injuries.
Today two women, aged in their late 20s or early 30s, were in a stable condition in Auckland City Hospital, a spokeswoman said.
They had been rushed to the hospital in a serious condition with the two others who were later discharged.
Five people were injured in the smash and firefighters had to cut four from the wrecked cars.
Hannah-Jones said a silver Toyota Altezza was travelling towards the city when it crossed the centreline and smashed head on into a black convertible Audi.
"Alcohol and speed cannot be ruled out as factors but the investigation is continuing. Four people were injured, but none were life-threatening. They are very lucky; it is a spectacular mess," he said.
Olivia Hamlin was standing in the Tamaki Yacht Club carpark when she heard a car coming around the corner at speed.
"I could hear it speeding and changing gears down and as it came closer it missed the corner and just came over onto the other side of the road, narrowly missing one car and went straight into the front of the black car. It was a huge bang of windows smashing. The two cars just crumpled," she said.
"I was in shock. I just rang an ambulance and a girl hopped out of the passenger side of silver car with blood all down her face and coming from her eye," Hamlin said.
Police cordoned the scene as St John attended the injured as they were extracted from the cars by firefighters using the jaws of life.
A man, who only wanted to be named as Jim, said he was travelling behind the Audi.
"There were three people in the Audi - two women in the front and a man in the back - and two young women in the Toyota," he said.
He ran to the driver's side of the Toyota and held the girl's head and neck until emergency services arrived.
"She wasn't too bad. I thought she would be worse, put it that way. She seemed to have a broken femur and a very bad cut to the bone on her leg. She told me she had been drinking. She was in shock.
"It was amazing to see how the fire guys used all this equipment - saws and everything - to take off the top of the cars," he said.
Both lanes on Tamaki Drive were blocked and traffic diverted onto Ngapipi Rd from the city side of the accident and Atkin Ave at Mission Bay.

Thirty games into the 2011-2012 NHL season, the San Jose Sharks hold a 17-10-3 record. As of now, they are leading the Pacific Division, and everything seems to be going all right.
That's not to say the Sharks haven't had their problems. San Jose has been somewhat inconsistent so far this season. They started off cold, then got hot. After another recent cold streak, the Sharks look ready to get back on a winning pace.
However, the Sharks' special teams have been dreadful. Honestly, the Sharks won't capture a top seed in the Western Conference or make it very far in the playoffs if these special teams issues and inconsistency problems aren't fixed.
The Sharks have one of the worst—if not the worst—penalty kills in the league. Although their power-play unit got off to a good start, they've been floundering lately.
The Sharks need some more shut-down defensemen and penalty-kill forwards to assist Patrick Marleau, Logan Couture and Joe Thornton.
Here are five trades that could benefit the Sharks going forward this season.

What: Shares of health insurer MedcoHealth Solutions (NYSE: MHS ) got a nasty cold today and fell 11%.
So what: MedcoHealth lost a big pharmacy benefit contract with Blue Cross Blue Shield Association to CVS Caremark (NYSE: CVS ) . The $3 billion contract begins next year and won't impact MedcoHealth's earnings during 2011.
Now what: This is obviously a big blow for MedcoHealth, but the news hasn't been the boost you might expect for CVS Caremark. CVS' stock is only up 2% on the big win, so it appears investors are focusing on the negative news for MedcoHealth today. I wouldn't jump into MedcoHealth on this dip, but I will take a second look at CVS because the stock was only trading at a 12.4 forward multiple before this big contract is factored into expectations.

Watch Halloween Wars
Halloween Wars was a four part mini series on Food Network. There were five different teams all competing for $50,000. The teams involved a pumpkin carver, a cake maker and a candy maker. They all were a part of a Halloween challenge, to make the creepiest Halloween masterpiece. The masterpiece had to include: cake, candy, and real pumpkins. The challenge was timed and had to be one complete piece with all of these components included.
Each week, the works of art were judged, and one team was was eliminated. Leaving the last show with only two teams left, to create the creepiest possible piece, made from candy, cake and pumpkin. This doesn't sound like the normal ingredients you might imagine when thinking creepy, but I recommend, you watch and see the incredible transformations take place.
The master carvers used mainly very large pumpkins to base the entire piece on. They turned a pumpkin into a piece of art. Carving it as though it were an ice sculpture or something of that intricate detail. Some used very basic hand tools, while others used power tools, but all creating an amazing Halloween work of art.
The cake makers, had perhaps one of the most challenging parts, they had to make cake pieces to go with wet pumpkin, and be able to withstand the rough and tough construction of this outstanding piece. Then become masked over with some form of candy or frosting. Wow! How does one accomplish this? Watch and see, you'll be amazed!
The candy makers were responsible for tying the entire pieces together, they even used fondant to cover the pumpkin pieces, so it was not even possible to tell what it was made from. They were designed with a love for the holiday, no doubt.
These people are artists, not just people working with food. They used air brush food color to paint these pieces, to make the stunning final touches. When finished, these works of art were one creepy Halloween creation. If you love Halloween, this is definitely a must see!

Mike Alvarado: I'll Exploit Every Weakness on Marquez!
By Mike Coppinger
Mike Alvarado is badly in need of an upset win Saturday after taking a beating from Ruslan Provodnikov. A loss to Juan Manuel Marquez and that will be three losses in his last four fights.
But Alvardo isn't worried about the tall order ahead of him on HBO. In fact, he thinks he has the future Hall of Famer all figured out.
"Style-wise, I feel that (Marquez) is tailor-made (for me)," Alvarado said on a conference call Tuesday. "He's a legend. He's not a very hard man to figure out. I'm gonna exploit every weakness."
A win would likely lead to a big-money fight with Manny Pacquiao in the fall, a fact that is "very motivation, it makes me train harder." But first, Alvarado must beat the odds and top JMM, knowing a loss could torpedo his promising career.
"I wanna win this fight," Alvarado said. "I still have a long career ahead of me."

Honoring the Civil War Dead: Commemoration and the Problem of Reconciliation (Modern War Studies Series) / Edition 1by John R. Neff
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 04/24/2005
Publisher: University Press of Kansas
By the end of the Civil War, fatalities from that conflict had far exceeded previous American experience, devastating families and communities alike. As John Neff shows, commemorating the 620,000 lives lost proved to be a persistent obstacle to the hard work of reuniting the nation, as every memorial observation compelled painful recollections of the war.
By the end of the Civil War, fatalities from that conflict had far exceeded previous American experience, devastating families and communities alike. As John Neff shows, commemorating the 620,000 lives lost proved to be a persistent obstacle to the hard work of reuniting the nation, as every memorial observation compelled painful recollections of the war.
Neff contends that the significance of the Civil War dead has been largely overlooked and that the literature on the war has so far failed to note how commemorations of the dead provide a means for both expressing lingering animosities and discouraging reconciliation. Commemoration—from private mourning to the often extravagant public remembrances exemplified in cemeteries, monuments, and Memorial Day observances—provided Americans the quintessential forum for engaging the war's meaning.
Additionally, Neff suggests a special significance for the ways in which the commemoration of the dead shaped Northern memory. In his estimation, Northerners were just as active in myth-making after the war. Crafting a "Cause Victorious" myth that was every bit as resonant and powerful as the much better-known "Lost Cause" myth cherished by Southerners, the North asserted through commemorations the existence of a loyal and reunified nation long before it was actually a fact. Neff reveals that as Northerners and Southerners honored their separate dead, they did so in ways that underscore the limits of reconciliation between Union and Confederate veterans, whose mutual animosities lingered for many decades after the end of the war.
Ultimately, Neff argues that the process of reunion and reconciliation that has been so much the focus of recent literature either neglects or dismisses the persistent reluctance of both Northerners and Southerners to "forgive and forget," especially where their war dead were concerned. Despite reunification, the continuing imperative of commemoration reflects a more complex resolution to the war than is even now apparent. His book provides a compelling account of this conflict that marks a major contribution to our understanding of the war and its many meanings.

RadioMilwaukee awards event is place to meet
In the four months that I've been covering music full time for the Journal Sentinel, I've met a lot of local musicians, launched our annual 10 Wisconsin Bands to Watch feature, started this-here local music column and watched a bunch of great performances for our Sound Check series in the Tap Milwaukee studios.

Scottish novelist Iain Banks has died
When Scottish novelist Iain Banks announced in April that he had an inoperable form of cancer, his large online following responded with affection and dismay.
"There can have been few novelists of recent years who were more aware of what their readers thought of their books; there is a frequent sense in his novels of an author teasing, testing and replying to a readership with which he was pretty familiar," wrote The Guardian's John Mullan in his obituary piece on Banks, who died Sunday at age 59. »Read Full Blog Post

If nationwide marriage equality was ever seen as the end of the fight for full equality for this community, that idea was shattered along with the 49 lives lost in the Pulse Nightclub.
Winnie Stachelberg and Chad Griffin emphasize the importance of LGBT equality in health care and insurance coverage.
Winnie Stachelberg writes about the effects of ending decades of taxpayer-funded discrimination, which President Barack Obama did on Monday by signing a pair of executive orders.
Winnie Stachelberg writes on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, or ENDA, the next step in the march toward LGBT equality.
Yesterday, with bipartisan support, the Senate opened debate on a bill to protect LGBT people from discrimination in the workplace, while the House stated its opposition claiming that these protections are bad for business. Here are five fast facts about business support for LGBT-inclusive nondiscrimination policies.
Issue Brief Weaknesses in federal law and law enforcement leave untold numbers of women vulnerable to gun violence committed by men who have harassed, stalked, threatened, and terrorized them, often for years.
This week a bipartisan group of senators and representatives are introducing the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which would finally make it illegal in all 50 states to discriminate against LGBT workers.
Issue Brief The use of appropriations riders to enact policy changes has reached new heights in the area of firearms.
Additional support for the Syrian opposition and regional coordination are urgently needed.
Issue Brief The firearm regulation measures endorsed by President Obama and proposed by Congress are safely within constitutional confines and reflect the sort of reasonable regulation that the Supreme Court has already endorsed in previous cases.
Issue Brief Through better background checks; taking military-grade weapons off the streets and out of criminals' hands; and improved data, coordination, and enforcement, we can reduce the gun violence that plagues our communities, our children, and our families.
Video Winnie Stachelberg discusses President Obama's historic announcement in support of marriage equality and explains how he is in line with public opinion on the issue.
The Senate vote to not proceed to debate the 2011 National Defense Authorization Act was a step backward in efforts to repeal the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, write Winnie Stachelberg and Rudy deLeon.
Video Winnie Stachelberg previews the upcoming lame duck session in Congress and discusses how the elections could affect the session's productivity.
Congress takes a major step toward repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" ban on gays and lesbians serving openly in the U.S. Armed Forces, writes Winnie Stachelberg and Josh Rosenthal.

Soulstice Theatre delivers shimmering 'Memory of Water'
Coming from north by northwest, take I-794 to Howard Ave. Make two quick lefts and you've arrived at the St. Francis-based digs of Soulstice Theatre, home to a tiny, gutsy troupe which - when the stars align, as they often do - offers a night out that can rival much of what's available downtown, at half the price.
The constellation appearing on the Soulstice stage right now - in a production of Shelagh Stephenson's "The Memory of Water," under David Ferrie's direction - is definitely worth the trip. »Read Full Article
Next Act's 'Irma Vep' haunted by earlier version
In the second act of Charles Ludlam's madcap "The Mystery of Irma Vep," now on stage at Next Act Theatre, a frightened Lady Enid (a cross-dressed John McGivern) turns to housekeeper Jane Twisden (a cross-dressed Norman Moses) and pines for the protective presence of Nicodemus, her faithful manservant.
With the twitch of a smile and a twinkle in his eye, Moses' ordinarily prim Jane make clear that calling Nicodemus on stage just then simply isn't possible. »Read Full Article(1)

HARRISBURG - The annual budget hearings in the Capitol are typically an opportunity for agency chiefs to tout their accomplishments and make their cases for more money in the new fiscal year beginning July 1.
In this particularly contentious budget season, Tuesday's first-round hearings turned into an interrogation of several of Gov. Corbett's top officials.
Lawmakers, mostly Democrats, who are in the minority, grilled the budget and revenue secretaries about Corbett's most controversial proposals not directly related to the budget but linked to it: privatization of the lottery and liquor stores, pension-plan changes, and the decision to forgo Medicaid expansion.

The 5 Phases of APQP are listed above. As you can see they are the logical steps one would take in almost any business situation. I use the word business as this is just as applicable to a service company as a manufacturing company if you think about it. For that matter, these phases or steps make good business sense for companies which do NOT supply automotive.
What matters is what sources of information there are and the specifics. For example, outside the automotive industry one would not expect to see a PPAP submission warrant. However, the process they use for product approval may to some degree reflect parts of the APQP process.
Bear in mind that the APQP and Control Plan manual does not address manufacturer (customer) specific requirements. The APQP and Control Plan manual only addresses the general requirements.
Dont over complicate what is required by the APQP system.

by Kittie Caracciolo
Learn to add realistic details to a die cut flower.
- Floral dies (Sizzix® Thinlits Die Set 12PK - Flower, Lily used here)
- Cardstock
- Pastels (PanPastel® Magenta, Diarylide Yellow, and Bright Yellow Green used here)
- Shaping tools and tweezers (Sizzix® Susan's Garden Tool Kit used here)
- Blending tool or other applicator (PanPastel® Sofft Knives and Covers used here)
- Marker for adding details (Copic® Rose Red R85 used here)
- High-tack glue (Crafter's Pick™ Ultimate Glue used here)
- Drying tray
- Embellishments (Flower Soft™ Leaf Green used here)
Step 1
Die cut flower petals and parts.
Step 2
Lightly apply yellow pastel toward the center of each petal using a blending tool.
Chalks or inks can also be used.
Blend magenta pastel over the petal, into the yellow area.
Step 3
Apply yellow green pastel to the lower portion of the petals.
Lightly apply yellow green pastel to the stamen piece.
Step 4
Lightly apply yellow green pastel to the leaves.
Step 5
Color the tips of the stamen on both sides with a marker. Apply a few dots to each petal with the marker.
Step 6
Place the petals on a foam molding pad and run a loop tool or other rounded tool from the tip of the petal down the center to the bottom, lightly pushing down to create a natural curved form. Repeat the step by running the tool down the sides of the petal to turn them up.
Step 7
Score the leaves with a leaf tool or stylus on a foam pad to create a few natural lines.
Form the calyx using the large stylus, pushing into the molding pad and moving in a light circular motion until the small petals turn up.
Step 8
Dip the petals into a little glue and attach them to the flower base, alternating every other opening.
Repeat the steps to attach the remaining petals.
Step 9
Place the assembled lily into the flower pot tray or other form, to maintain the flower's shape as the glue dries.
Step 10
Roll the stamen around a tweezers tip and apply glue to hold it closed.
Apply glue to the tips of the stamen; apply green Flower Soft and allow to dry.
Step 11
Apply glue to the base of the stamen and attach the piece to the center of the lily. Hold it in place until it adheres well enough to stay in place on its own. Let glue dry.
Step 12
Attach the leaves to the flower base, and complete the project.

Hugs from SPAIN
I found the PanPAstel to be much easier for me to use because of the ease of blending, wiping off to lighten color, to be able to layer color over color and even the ability to erase. Erasing was very useful to me as I htried playing and learning to use the pastels.
I'm going to copy and paste the description I found on the PanPastel site. I sure hope it helps.
"PanPastel Colors are professional artists� quality soft pastel colors packed in a unique pan format (cake-like). The special qualities of PanPastel Colors mean that artists can blend and apply dry color like fluid paint"
"Each PanPastel Color is loaded with the highest quality artists� pigments; and is made using a unique manufacturing process requiring minimal binder, resulting in rich, ultra soft and low dust colors. PanPastel Colors can be mixed for an infinite palette of colors."

Billy Reid, the men's wear designer known for Southern Americana, is ready to wholesale.
This story first appeared in the February 10, 2009 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Reid, who some remember as a 2001 CFDA award winner who shuttered his emerging collection after 9/11 and moved back to Alabama, relaunched his collection five years ago, focusing on his own stores where he could build a brand around his Southern roots. His new unit on New York's Bond Street, which is his first one up North, has space downstairs for meeting with retailers. All told, he has seven stores around the country.
"To wholesale you need a certain amount of revenue to make the production more efficient, and you need good production relationships, and we have those now. We're ready to execute," Reid said.
After retailing the collection for five years, Reid said he would seek partners who are similarly "customer-service oriented and who keep things special."
The collection includes hand-tailored suits and jackets, handmade footwear and a complete sportswear range including T-shirts and selvedge denim.
"My head this season was in between a Mississippi Delta swamp at the duck camp and the East Village — sort of how I spent the past year of my life," said Reid. "I wanted pieces that I could take with me in both of these worlds and not think twice about there performance, acceptance or wearability."
For the time being, Reid's women's collection will remain exclusive to Billy Reid shops.

"The Ass is Dead! Long Live the Ass!"
Do I have your attention?
Good. That is the point of a library instruction workshop game that requires students to unscramble a book title, search the catalog to find its location, and retrieve it from the shelves. "The Rebellion of The Beasts: Or, the Ass is Dead! Long Live the Ass!" is a sample title.
Stanford University Libraries (SUL) supports the Program in Writing and Rhetoric (PWR) by offering library instruction workshops that include a walking tour of the library as well as an introduction to library resources. These library workshops are designed to support PWR's objective to guide students in developing analytical and research-based argument skills. The library workshops are usually just a one-shot class that lasts 1 hour and 50 minutes; this is the duration of most classes.
Friday April 3, 2015
Media Center, Green Library
PWR Instructor: Kathleen Tarr
Assigned Class Librarian: Felicia Smith
Green Library recently hosted Program in Writing and Rhetoric (PWR) office hours for a Zombie Tournament in the Media Center to build relationships between students, instructors and librarians. This particular session had a stress relief component and was a fun way to introduce students to Green Library's media resources. It allowed students to get help with their PWR assignment from their instructor, in a fun atmosphere. It also allowed students to meet librarians in a relaxed setting and build rapport. Hopefully, this will reduce any anxiety when approaching librarians for assistance at the Information Center Desk.

Women have been involved in the School of Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences from the early days of the university. In the beginning a few intrepid women navigated their way through an environment not designed for them. They were not allowed in the field with the men and were sometimes treated poorly as they competed for lucrative jobs with their male counterparts. Over the years, these women pioneers became part of the faculty, department chairs, and finally the Dean. The population of women in the School has grown to where they are now 61% of the undergraduate population and 42% of the graduate students.
As part of the 100 days to 100 years: Branner Earth Sciences Library Celebration, we celebrate these pioneering women who were trailblazers, who literally and figuratively broke new ground in the field. You may see items related to each of these women on display in the Branner Library exhibit case on the 2nd floor of the Mitchell Earth Sciences Building.
- Lou Henry Hoover (B.A. Geology, 1898): the first woman to major in geology at Stanford.
- Mary Balch Kennedy (B.A. Geology, 1929): an early student in the geology program.
- Dr. A. Myra Keen (B.A., Ph.D. Psychology, 1934): the first woman faculty member and a professor of paleontology.
- Dr. Gail Mahood (A.B., M.A., Ph.D. Geology, 1980): the first woman to be named department chair in the School.
- Dr. Elizabeth Miller (B.A., M.A., Ph.D. Geology and Geophysics, 1977): the first woman run the Stanford Geological Survey.
- Dr. Pamela Matson (B.S., M.S., Ph.D. Forest Ecology, 1983): the first woman to be named Dean of the School.

THE ST. LOUIS Rams' defense was ranked No. 7 in the NFL last season in sacks. The Atlanta Falcons' was No. 20. The New York Giants' was No. 5. That is how the Eagles' regular-season schedule opens.
At the Rams, at the Falcons, home for the semiannual blood sport against the Giants. That is what awaits quarterback Michael Vick and the unsettled, unsettling right side of his offensive line - two killers in the first 3 weeks, and also two dome games where the noise has a chance to shake the continuity of a shaky group of pass protectors.
Worried yet?

I don't have much additional to say. The agreement is good news, plain and simple, especially considering they did not need to pledge all of their collateral towards it, but left out property overseas (which would allow potential additional financing transaction there). In a market environment like today, the Street isn't going to care...but sometimes the Street is stupid in valuing the relative risk of a stock...and I remain as convinced as ever that valuing HTCH at a post 08/09 crash low, at $2, when it's fortunes have dramatically improved, on both an operating, and a financial strength basis, is just plain wrong. I still think this stock should be at $4-5...and not $2, right now, for the "financial runway" they have built, for its expected return to positive cash flow and profitability...and enormous turnaround potential. But I guess I'll just have to be patient. The stock remains on super strong buy, a very "elite" status given very rarely by be to very select securities. HTCH is a sleeping giant.
strongly agree!

Brewers' trade options appear to be limited
High price for pitching
The Milwaukee Brewers need a fifth starting pitcher again on Tuesday, three days before the trading deadline.
As of Wednesday, general manager Doug Melvin said an internal candidate looked more likely to make that start than a trade acquisition.
"There's not much pitching out there that's available," said Melvin. "We go over the list every day. It doesn't change."
The Brewers have shown interest in the top pitcher available on the market, Toronto ace Roy Halladay. On Sunday, Melvin said he had not made an offer for Halladay and didn't know if he would.
But Melvin declined Wednesday to specify his current interest in Halladay, who has a no-trade clause and would require an extensive package of prospects to acquire.
"I don't want to get into who I've talked to," said Melvin. "If you say which teams you're talking to, it helps other teams know what you're doing. It makes other teams less or more motivated.
"We keep working the phones. We monitor teams that are in the (playoff) race and out of it."
Melvin's top scouting assistant, Dick Groch, watched Halladay pitch in Toronto on Sunday, then stayed to watch Cleveland's Cliff Lee throw a complete-game seven-hitter against the Blue Jays on Tuesday night.
The Indians have not said if they would part with Lee, the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner who has a club option for 2010 at $8 million.
"I talked to (Cleveland general manager) Mark Shapiro (Tuesday) and Cliff Lee's name never came up," said Melvin. "Dick was there but he's just trying to stay on top of those two clubs."
Perhaps, but if the Brewers are going to try to make a bold move a la CC Sabathia last season, Halladay and Lee would be the top names to pursue. The Brewers have been monitoring other pitchers as well, such as Kansas City's Brian Bannister (6-7, 3.66), who has pitched better than his record indicates.
Barring a trade in the next couple of days, however, that spot in the rotation Tuesday will be filled from within the organization. The Brewers could decide to pass on right-hander Mike Burns (2-3, 6.21 ERA), who was tagged for six runs in three innings Monday night in Pittsburgh and has been too unpredictable.
"He's had some good (starts) and some not so good ones," said manager Ken Macha. "You'd like him to keep you in the game.
"A couple of starts we've been out early, Chicago and (Pittsburgh). You'd like to be in the game in the fifth inning."
Should the Brewers reach down to Nashville for a spot starter, right-hander Tim Dillard and left-hander Chris Cody would be under consideration. Dillard and Cody were the scheduled starters for the Sounds in a doubleheader Wednesday evening in Memphis.
"Yeah, it could be (someone from Nashville)," said Macha. "We'll see. There's (eight) days until the (trade) deadline. Doug is trying to improve our club like he did with the (Felipe) Lopez deal, but starting pitching is expensive right now."
Make that very expensive. Melvin stopped trying to expand the deal with Arizona to include left-hander Doug Davis because the asking price was too high, and settled for acquiring Lopez to fill the leadoff spot in the lineup.
Acquiring a pitcher no better than what he has makes no sense, said Melvin, "not if it costs money (in acquired salary), and you have to give up prospects."
The uncertain status of right-hander Dave Bush means the Brewers will continue to pursue a starting pitcher, while also monitoring the market for relievers. Bush's return from the disabled list was delayed by a tired arm, and Melvin said it probably would be at least two weeks before Bush could rejoin the rotation.
"You'd have to assume it will be a couple of weeks," said Melvin. "There's no way he can come back (to action) and pitch right away (in the majors).
"I believe this division will go right down to the wire. We're trying to do whatever we can to improve our ballclub. Right now, it's quiet."
Anthony Witrado of the Journal Sentinel staff contributed to this story.

Rice producers applaud funding
HOUSTON—The US Rice Producers Association announced today that ample funding has been provided to the Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) to implement a September 1 stocks report for rice in the fiscal year 2010 Agriculture Appropriations bill.
As approved yesterday by the Senate Committee on Appropriations, the report on the fiscal year 2010 bill states:
"Market transparency provided by timely stocks reporting enhances the ability of rice farmers to profitably market their crop. The Committee expects that NASS will implement a September 1 stocks report for rice to include old crop stocks."
Mississippi rice farmer and USRPA Chairman Gary Fioranelli said, "The addition of a September 1 rice stocks reporting date for rice farmers is great news. Rice farmers in Mississippi and across the rice belt owe a debt of thanks to Senator Thad Cochran for championing this effort."
The bill increases the annual appropriation for NASS by more than $10 million, from $151.6 million in fiscal year 2009 to $161.8 million in fiscal year 2010.
NASS has estimated that the administration of a September 1 stocks report will cost between $30,000 and $50,000 per year. This amounts to less than one-half of one percent of the increase in NASS's budget under the bill.
USRPA President & CEO Dwight Roberts added, "USRPA has been leading a rice industry effort for several years to make available greater market information to rice producers. The addition of a September 1 NASS stocks report for rice will enhance the reporting of annual ending stocks and enhance producers' ability to profitably market their crop. We look forward to working with NASS to implement this new report as soon as possible."
The US Rice Producers Association, representing rice farmers in Mississippi, Missouri, Texas, California, Arkansas and Louisiana, is the only organization solely representing the views of U.S. rice farmers.

Dr. William H. Weems Receives Award at OSHA's Consultation Training Conference
WASHINGTON - The 30th anniversary of OSHA's On-Site Consultation Training Conference in Westminster, CO, provided the setting yesterday for presentation of the first William J. Higgins award to recognize a state employee from the consultation program for his or her sustained level of excellence in servicing the small business community.
Dr. William H. Weems, on-site consultation program manager for Alabama, was the first recipient of what will become an annual award program named for Dr. William J. Higgins, the first national office director for the program in 1975. Higgins was one of three OSHA staff who authored the first consultation program regulations that initially included just 13 states.
"Dr. Weems has been at the forefront in advocating many innovative improvements which have had a significant impact on the quality and recognition of our consultation program," said Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA Jonathan L. Snare. "As Alabama's consultation director, Dr. Weems has helped redirect the course of consultation from hazard identification toward emphasizing development of safety and health management systems. I'm sure Dr. Higgins would be proud to know that his legacy continues through professionals like Dr. Weems."
Dr. Weems has been with the Alabama Consultation Program since 1978, serving first as a supervisory health consultant before becoming program manager. He is also serving his third term as president of the National Association of Occupational Safety and Health Consultation Programs (OSHCON) which represents all state consultation service providers.
One of Dr. Weems' major accomplishments was his efforts before Congress to include language in the OSH Act that provided statutory recognition of the On-site Consultation Program. Ultimately, the Act was amended to include a subsection that required the establishment of a compliance assistance program by which employers can consult with state personnel regarding the application of, and compliance with, OSHA standards. Weems also led a team in the development of the Safety and Health Program Assessment Worksheet, the Consultation Program's measurement tool that captures essential elements of an effective safety and health management system.
OSHA's Consultation Program is now available in every state, in addition to Washington, D.C., the Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and Puerto Rico. Over the past 30 years, more than a half million visits have been conducted at small businesses. In the past 10 years alone, approximately 250,000 employers have used consultation services.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
